EDITORIAL Ta y como el mes de agosto se va terminando una vez más, me quedo sorprendido de lo rápido que los veraneantes se evaporan y una vez más las carreteras se quedan más despejadas y es más fácil encontrar aparcamiento. Es difícil hacer una comparación de lo que ha sido este verano con anteriores, pero estoy seguro de que en los próximos meses tendremos cifras suficientes para saber qué negocios han obtenido beneficio para hacer frente a la próxima subida del IVA, que pasa del 18% al 21% el 1 de septiembre. Bueno,no pensemos en eso ya que todavía es verano, tal y como el tiempo nos viene demostrando, aunque yo prefiero las noches un poquito más frescas.

Aquí en Manilva en esta época del año es muy importante la vendimia, la cual tendrá lugar el primer fin de semana de

septiembre, esta celebración conlleva mucha fiesta, mucha consumición de comida y vino.

El verano aquí empieza con la fiesta de San Juan y acaba con la vendimia y a partir de ahora nos pondremos a trabajar duro.

Eso es lo que precisamente vamos a hacer, trabajar duro, en The Resident y en nuestra empresa Manilva Media Workshop SLL, tenemos proyectos que se harán realidad en las siguientes semanas y meses, más información en nuestra próxima edición del periódico, el cual celebrará su sexto aniversario. Bien, como todavía es verano, la editorial de este mes será también corta y suave, y ya que la playa me está llamando... éso es lo bueno de ser autónomo, alguna ventaja teníamos que tener.

Así pues, hasta la próxima edición.

Editor

As August draws to a close once again I’m amazed at how quickly the huge mass of summer visitors suddenly evaporates and once again the roads become clear and parking is no longer a treasure hunt. It’s difficult to gauge how this summer’s numbers compare with previous years but I’m sure the coming months will reveal which businesses have made enough to weather the coming storm of the hike in the rate of IVA which leaps from 18% to 21% on September 1.

Anyway let’s not dwell on such things as it’s still technically summer, at least as far as the weather is concerned although I for one am enjoying the slightly cooler nights.

Here in Manilva this time of the year is very important for the municipality’s burgeoning vineyards as it’s harvest time, and to celebrate the event the first weekend of September sees the whole town celebrating the Vendimia. This involves much

partying and consumption of food and wine, but there again this is Spain and goes without saying. For many this wraps up a summer that kicked off with the San Juan Festival and heralds a return to the serious business of making a living.

For us at The Resident and its parent company Manilva Media Workshop SLL this certainly rings true and a number of projects that have been on the backburner will be turned up to full heat in the coming weeks and months, but news about that in our next issue which is appropriate as in the next issue we will be celebrating The Resident’s sixth birthday.

Well, as it is still summer, I’ll keep this month’s editorial short and sweet as I can hear the beach calling, and after all there has to be some advantage to being self employed, hasn’t there?

So until next month....

El campo de fútbol 7 y padel del Manolo Mesa, prácticamente listos

Tras varias adjudicaciones y modificaciones del proyecto inicial, ha sido necesario casi un año para ejecutar las obras en su totalidad y que el casco cuente con las primeras pistas de padel y campo de fútbol 7 enteramente municipales.

El acceso a campo de Deportes se ha modificado, así como la iluminación de los campos de deportes y, lo que

es quizás lo más importante, las graderíos del campo Manolo Mesa han visto aumentada su capacidad en 500 localidades.

Todo ello se ha completado con el adecentamiento de los accesos y los caminos interiores, los alrededores, pintura del recinto, etc. La inversión es de poco más de medio millón de euros.

I Batalla de Bandas Sotogrande El sábado 6 de octubre en Sotogrande se oirá el sonido del combate feroz entre músicos locales luchando en la I Batalla de las Bandas Sotogrande.

El Bar y Restaurante The Courtyard en el Centro Comercial Mar y Sol será el escenario de esta épica competición con unos ocho artistas luchando por la gloria y el título de “Mejor Banda”, junto con una serie de premios, incluyendo un concierto en un prestigioso lugar de música local.

El concurso está abierto a todos los interesados ​​con los únicos requisitos de entrada siendo el deber realizar dos pistas en la noche: una cubierta y una pieza original, y las bandas deben comprender al menos dos miembros!

El jurado estará integrado por un panel de jueces extraídos de los medios de comunicación y la escena de música locales, quienes buscarán presencia

Manolo Mesa football field and paddle courts almost ready After several modifications, the project having taken nearly a year to be completed, the first entirely municipal paddle courts and football pitch will soon be ready.

Access to the field has been altered, as has the lighting and, perhaps most importantly, seats in the grandstand have

been increased by 500.

All this has been completed alongside better access routes and interior roads, improved surroundings and a new lick of paint. The investment comes to just over half a million euros.

Casares

The Resident - www.theresident.eu

Visita Sorprendente para artista local

A veces es fascinante cómo el azar puede jugar un importante papel en la vida de las personas. Por ejemplo, por casualidad el artista local David España hace poco vió un programa en la televisión española sobre la labor de los embajadores de varias naciones en España, también fue casualidad que recientemente había convertido un pequeño local que poseía en Casares en una galería, y fue entonces posible que un grupo de personas de visita en Casares por unos días pasaran por la galería. ¿Cómo es fascinante? Bueno, el grupo resultó ser el embajador de EE.UU. en España, Alan D. Solomont, su esposa Susan y una serie de sus empleados, que David reconoció haber visto en el programa de televisión tan

sólo unos días antes.

El embajador quedó tan impresionado con el trabajo de David que él mismo compró una obra. Después de una charla y una rápida sesión de fotos el grupo continuó su camino. Pero no fue el fin.

Ese mismo día, David España recibió una llamada del embajador diciendo que le gustaría comprar otra pieza.

Vecinos y Amigos de Marina de Casares El 14 de agosto, con el permiso del Ayuntamiento de Casares y animados por ellos, el club puso el primer mercadillo.

El evento se celebró a lo largo del paseo y se alargó hasta LA NOCHE. En la playa hubo un espectáculo magnifico de música en vivo que incluyó un Cabaret flamenco interpretado por unas jóvenes de Casares acompañadas por músicos y voces.

Después del Cabaret empezó el baile que siguió hasta la madrugada. El espectáculo favoreció la buena marcha del mercadillo que se aprovechó al contar con gran número de clientela lo que se tradujo en una noche muy rentable El 17 de agosto tuvimos nuestro primer café de verano del club que reunió a 42 miembros en el acondicionado frío del aula del club para tomar un té durante una hora más o menos. También pudimos acordar el programa de eventos del club hasta enero 2013 El lunes 20 e agosto disfrutamos de una comida en el club consistente en Paella valenciana como plato principal,

cocinada para nosotros por un amigo de uno de los miembros del comité.

Empezamos con una ensalada mixta y acabamos con fruta fresca, queso y galletas y dulces y pasteles. Según ha llegado a nuestros oídos resultó una experiencia culinaria maravillosa para todos Finalmente antes de poner fin a la temporada de verano el 26 de agosto tuvimos una “Noche del Oeste”. El club se transformó en un “Saloon Wilde West”. Hubo música country western para ambientar la fiesta, se jugó al Black Jack mesa contra mesa bajo la guía profesional de Diane Marsland y naturalmente comida típica de Texas y del Oeste para aguantar toda la tarde.

El club está acabando la administración de la Biblioteca del Ayuntamiento de Casares, los bibliotecarios nos dicen que no ha habido tanto movimiento este año, aunque han tenido más visitas de chicos practicando inglés cuando estabamos a cargo los angloparlantes y también sacando un libro o dos

David España ha estado pintando desde hace más de 30 años, y se especializa en su propio estilo particular de pintura sobre vidrio.

Puedes ver el trabajo de David en su galería Studio 54, C / Villa, (justo antes del Ayuntamiento), Casares.

Puedes contactar a David llamando al 619 627 651.

Surprise visit for local artist It is sometimes fascinating how chance can play a part in people’s lives. For instance it was chance that local artist David España recently watched a programme on Spanish TV on the work of various nations ambassadors in Spain; it was chance that he’d just recently converted a small local that he owned in Casares into a gallery; it was then chance that a group of people who were visiting Casares a few days later happened to drop into the gallery. How is this fascinating? Well the party happened to be the US Ambassador to Spain, Alan D. Solomont, his wife Susan and a number of staff, who David recognised having seen the TV programme just a few days before.

The Ambassador was so impressed with David’s work, that he purchased a piece on the spot. After a chat and a quick photo opportunity the party went on their way.

But this wasn’t the end, later that day David España received a call from the Ambassador to say that he would like to purchase another piece.

David España has been painting for over 30 years, and specialises in his own particular style of painting on glass.

You can view David’s work at his gallery Studio 54, C/ Villa, (just before the Town Hall), Casares.

You can contact David on 619 627 651.

Friends and Neighbours of Marina de Casares On the 14th of August with permission and encouragement from the Casares Ayuntamiento, the club produced its first “Table Top Sale.” The event was held along the promenade and went on late into the night. The magnificent live musical entertainment that was on the beach in the evening included a flamenco cabaret preformed by one of Casares young ladies, accompanied by vocal and music. After the cabaret, dance music and dancing went on well into the following morning.

This entertainment provided the “Table Toppers” with captive customer potential that provided a very rewarding evening.

On the 17th of August the club had their first coffee morning of the summer this brought 42 members into the air conditioned club room for a cuppa and a chat for an hour or so. They were also able to take away with them the club’s updated programme of events up to the end of January 2013.

On Monday the 20th of August there was a 3 course dinner in the club room with Paella Valenciana as the main course

prepared for by a friend of one of the committee members. Dinner started with a mixed salad and finished with fresh fruit, cheese and biscuits, sweets, and cakes.

The feedback received has confirmed that a very enjoyable eating experience and evening was had by all.

And finally to end the summer season on the 26TH August there was a “Western Night”. The club was transformed into a “Wild West Saloon”. There was country and western music to enhance the atmosphere, table versus table, Black Jack was played under the professional guidance of Diane Marsland, and naturally Texan “camp fire grub to sustain them though the evening The club is on the last days of managing the “library on the beach” for the Ayuntamiento.

The Librarians have said that it has not been so busy this year, although they had more visits from children, practicing their English when the English speaking amongst the members were on duty, as well as taking out a book or two.

Casares Bridge Club The club meets every Tuesday at 6.15pm for 6.30pm start.

We play Duplicate Bridge at the Community hall located on the Casares road MA8300, 1km. from the A7, and can be found to the right of the first roundabout.

We operate a Host system ... players without partners (including visitors) can be accommodated and are most welcome. www.bridgewebs.com/casares/

CONTRACTOS DE ALQUILER Y ARRENDAMIENTO

En los últimos meses, hemos recibido 3 ó 4 consultas sobre temas de arrendamiento cada semana, probablemente debido a la crisis y a los problemas financieros que mucha gente está sufriendo en la actualidad. Hay demasiados inquilinos que no pagan sus rentas mensuales y demasiados arrendadores desesperados por estas situaciones.

Por desgracia, frecuentemente la gente acude a nosotros sin contratos de alquiler firmados o con contratos no redactados correctamente.

Esta es una de las partes más delicadas del derecho español y, por tanto, antes de firmar un contrato de arrendamiento o alquiler es esencial tener adecuado asesoramiento y consejo.

Independientemente de si eres un arrendador o arrendatario, no solicitar asesoramiento legal profesional cuando un contrato de alquiler se va a firmar por escrito, bien sobre viviendas o locales comerciales, puede causar serios problemas en el futuro. Como ejemplo, un inquilino puede legalmente estar en una propiedad alquilada durante 5 años.

Los contratos verbales son legalmente válidos en España pero nosotros recomendamos tener un contrato por escrito que incluya las cláusulas apropiadas para proteger tus derechos.

Aunque las leyes españolas establecen los derechos y obligaciones de propietarios e inquilinos, la ley permite a los mismos establecer cláusulas y términos especiales en los contratos de alquiler, por lo que es recomendable buscar asesoramiento profesional y redactar el contrato de forma que refleje perfectamente nuestros requisitos personales.

Hay muchos aspectos que deben ser claramente detallados. Además de mencionar el nombre del propietario e inquilino, la situación de la propiedad, la duración del contrato y la fecha y cuantía de las rentas, el acuerdo también puede incluir otros acuerdos de las partes, tales como:

• Garantía

de habitabilidad. El propietario debe ofrecer un lugar seguro e higiénico a los inquilinos.

El propietario puede ser requerido a proporcionar extintores u otros enseres como horno, frigorífico, friegaplatos, etc.

• Cómo deben hacerse las comunicaciones de acuerdos o problemas entre propietarios e inquilinos, y como se resolverán.

• Que ocurre cuando una reparación

debe ser realizada por el propietario o por el inquilino.

• Cuando y cuanto el propietario puede incrementar la renta.

• Quien es el responsable del mantenimiento.

• Protocolo para la reparación de la vivienda.

• Es posible subarrendar la vivienda.

• Sanciones por incumplimiento del contrato por propietario o inquilino.

• Posibilidad de que propietario o inquilino pasen sus derechos y obligaciones a un tercero.

• Quien paga las cuotas de comunidad, IBI o seguro de hogar.

Siempre es mejor prevenir desencuentros antes de firmar, deje que su abogado lea cuidadosamente el contrato y le sugiera quitar o cambiar cláusulas que, en su opinión profesional, pudieran limitar sus derechos, o perjudicarle de alguna forma en el futuro. Los abogados conocen la ley española y también pueden redactar un contrato nuevo que se adapte a sus necesidades. El abogado también solicitará y organizará que la otra parte firme el contrato. Deje que su abogado utilice sus conocimientos para proteger sus intereses.

A título orientativo, los honorarios normales por preparar, revisar y negociar un contrato de arrendamiento normal de vivienda son unos 300 euros por lo que merece la pena buscar asesoramiento legal y obtener un buen contrato de alquiler que proteja tus derechos legales y prevenga posibles gastos en el futuro.

Si tiene algún problema de alquiler porque su inquilino no le paga la renta, o por su arrendador quiere que abandone la vivienda, es recomendable buscar asesoramiento legal lo antes posible.

Desde nuestra experiencia podemos decir que cuando antes se actué mejor porque cuanto más tiempo se deje el problema más complicada y costosa será la solución.

TENANCY & RENTAL CONTRACTS

Over the past few months, we have received 3 or 4 enquiries on tenancy and rental contracts every week, probably due to the crisis and financial problems people are currently suffering. There are too many tenants not paying their monthly rents and too many landlords desperate with these situations.

Unfortunately, more often than not people come to us with no signed rental contract or with tenancy contracts not properly drafted.

This is one of the most delicate parts of the Spanish Law, and, therefore, before signing a rental or tenancy document the right guidance and advice is vital. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, not requesting professional legal advice when you are going to sign a written Rental Contract, or an agreement concerning residential or commercial property, can cause serious problems in the future. For example, a tenant could legally stay in a rental property for up to 5 years.

Oral agreements are legally valid in Spain but we strongly recommend you have a written lease that includes appropriate clauses to protect your interests. Although the Spanish Law governs the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords, the Law allows them to establish special clauses and terms in these Rental Contracts, so it is advisable to seek professional guidance and draft the contract in such a way that it reflects perfectly your personal requirements.

There are also many points that must be clearly detailed. A part of the contract specifies the name of the landlord and the tenant, the location of the property, the duration of the lease and the due date and amount of rental payment. The agreement can also include any other legal provisions to which both parties agree, such as: •

•

•

Warranty of habitability. A Landlord must provide a safe and sanitary place for tenants. A Landlord can be required to provide fire extinguishers and other such fixtures as ovens, refrigerators, sinks, etc.

How communications and notifications of agreements, problems or understandings between landlord and tenant will be resolved.

What happens when repairs legally

• • • • • • •

required are not made by landlord or tenant?

When, and how much can the landlord increase the rent?

Who has the responsibility for the maintenance?

Guidelines for any repairs to the house.

Is it possible to sub-let the property?

Penalties for breaking the lease by the tenant or the landlord.

The possibility that landlords or tenants have of passing their rights and obligations on to another person.

Who pays; community fees, IBI local property taxes, and home insurance?

It is always better to prevent misunderstandings before signing, please let your solicitor read the lease carefully and suggest deleting or changing any clauses that, in his professional opinion could severely limit your rights, or could prejudice you in some way in the future. Solicitors know the Spanish Law and can also draw up a new lease proposal that suits your needs.

The solicitor will also request and organise that the other party signs the contract. Let your solicitor use his knowledge to protect your interests.

As an indication, normal legal fees for preparing, revising and negotiating normal residential Rental Contracts are around 300 Euros so it is well worth seeking legal advice to get a first-rate rental contract which will protect your legal rights and prevent possible unnecessary expense in the future.

Should you already have a rental problem because your tenant does not pay the rent, or because your landlord wants you leave the property, it is also sensible to take legal advice as soon as possible. From our experience the sooner you take legal action the better, as the longer a problem is left; the more difficult it is to sort out.

SAVE MONEY! Just by changing a bulb

Now thats a bright idea!

What is a LED bulb?

LED lighting is a lamp or other light that uses LEDs (light emitting diode) as a source of illumination.

There are many consumer advantages to LEDs over incandescent light bulbs.

• Improved Durability.

• Safety.

• Significant savings in electricity bills and bulb replacement costs.

• Up to 90% more energy efficent than incandescent and halogen bulbs. LED lights consume much less energy.

• They have a very long life, up to 50,000 hours of use.

This works out to eight hours a day for 17 years.

El Ayuntamiento de Manilva ocupa las obras e instalaciones del Campus Deportivo de Sabinillas

Manilva Town Hall occupies the works and installations of the Sabinillas Sports Centre On August 23, 2012, the Mayoress of Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, accommpanied by the Town Clerk, the Director of Discretionary works and two officers of the Local Police accessed the Sabinillas Sports Centre, after coming to the conclusion that the work had been abandoned.

The report submitted by the Director of Discretionary works states among other things, the theft and deterioration of materials, basement drains are flooded and pumps can not be used because the electrical works were not completed by the builder.

El día 23 de Agosto 2012, la Alcaldesa de Manilva Antonia Muñoz junto con el Sr. Secretario del Ayuntamiento, la Directora Facultativa de las obras y dos agentes de la Policia Local accedieron a la Ciudad Deportiva de Sabinillas, tras constatar que la obra estaba abandonada.

En el informe efectuado por la Dirección Facultativa se hace constar entre otros aspectos, la sustracción y deterioro de materiales, que los sumideros del sótano se encuentran anegados y que no pueden entrar en carga porque la acometida eléctrica no se finalizó por parte de la constructora.

It is also recommended that the works are completed to the electrical supply by the Town Hall as soon as possible as to avoid flooding in the basement when the rains arrive.

The Mayor has instructed the local police to establish a permanent presence to prevent theft of materials and access to the works.

Finally, the Town Hall will be holding a plenary session next Thursday to propose to terminate the building contract so as to allow the Town Hall to proceed to complete the works on the Sports Centre and finally open it.

Igualmente se recomienda que se finalicen las obras de abastecimiento eléctrico por parte del ayuntamiento con la mayor brevedad posible para que en caso de lluvias no se produzcan inundaciones en el sótano.

La Alcaldesa ha dado instrucciones a la Policía Local para que establezca una vigilancia que evite la sustracción de los acopios y el acceso a las obras.

Finalmente el Ayuntamiento llevará el próximo jueves al Pleno, una propuesta para la Resolución del contrato que permita a la Alcaldía la continuación de las obras hasta su finalización y puesta en marcha.

El Ayuntamiento firma un convenio con la Unión Estepona CF La delegación municipal de Turismo y la Unión Estepona Club de Fútbol han firmado un acuerdo de promoción turística que permitirá la difusión de la marca Estepona en los soportes donde se anuncie el equipo. El Ayuntamiento cederá de forma temporal el punto de información turística situado en el Paseo Marítimo y el ubicado en la calle Real (El Paseíllo) para que la Unión Estepona CF pueda comercializar sus productos deportivos -abonos, entradas

o folletos- al tiempo que distribuyen material de promoción turística.

Ambos espacios se encontraban en estado de abandono desde hacía años y este convenio permite recuperarlos para un uso público.

Los medios de comunicación municipales también están haciéndose eco de la campaña de abonos que ha diseñado el club de cara a la temporada 2012/2013..

The Town Hall has temporarily handed over tourist information points located on the promenade and on Calle Real (El Paseíllo) to the Union Estepona FC so they can market their sports products, such as

brochures and season tickets while distributing material to promote tourism.

Both areas were in a state of neglect for years and this agreement allows their recall for public use.

The local media are also echoing the season ticket campaign announced by the club ahead of the 2012/2013 football season.

XIII Semana Internacional de Cine Fantástico “Costa del Sol” Cada septiembre durante los últimos doce años Estepona ha sido el centro del mundo de terror y cine fantástico con la celebración de la Semana Internacional de Cine Fantástico, que muestra algunos de las mejores (y peores) obras cinematográficas del género.

Este mes, del 24 al 29, tendrá lugar en el municipio la XIII edición de este evento siendo el tema de este año la novela publicada por Robert Louis Stevenson en 1886 “El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y mister Hyde”, que retrata el conflicto interior del ser humano entre el bien y el mal.

Aparte de las proyecciones de películas y cortos habrá varias otras actividades paralelas.

Una calle victoriana, realizada por la productora La Cruzada Entertainment, recreará en el Palacio de Exposiciones el Londres de finales del siglo XIX con figurantes que acercarán a los aficionados a los tiempos de Jeckyll, Hyde, Sherlock Holmes o Jack “El Destripador”. Será el mejor escenario para la presentación de un sello conmemorativo de esta edición del certamen, en colaboración con la Sociedad Filatélica Europea, “Eurosofi”, y de los libros “La Marca del Doctor Jekyll y Mister Hyde” y “New Faery Tales”, de DKiller Panda.

Compitiendo en el concurso Internacional de Largometrajes están:

FrightFest returns to Estepona

Kevin Sorbo aka Hercules receives his Unicorn of Honour at last year's festival Every September for the past twelve years Estepona has been the centre of the world of horror and fantasy cinema with the celebration of the Costa del Sol International Fantasy Film Week, showcasing some of the best (and not so best) cinematic works of this genre.

This month, from 24 to 29 September, the town plays host to the thirteenth edition of this frightfest with Robert Louis Stevensons 1886 novel on man’s inner conflict between good and evil “The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde” providing this year’s theme.

Apart from the programme of screenings including both features and shorts there are a host of parallel activities. The production company La Cruzada Entertainment will create a London street of the late 19th century in the Palacio de Congresos which will provide the perfect setting for a number

of events including the presentation of a commemorative postage stamp in collaboration with the European Philatelic Society “Eurosofi”; the presentation of the books “The Brand of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde” and “New Faery Tales” by DKiller Panda.

There will also be exhibitions including: “Horreibols and Terrifics Books – Forges y Azpiri”, “Stamps of Film and Fantasy”, and “Drawing Jekyll”.

Competing for this year’s awards are the feature films “Chillerama”, “Drácula 0.9”, “InBred”, “Cinderella, The Ghost”, “The Wisperer in Darkness”, among others.

Other events include a talk by the psychiatrist José Ignacio Del Pino on the dual powers of the good and evil within the human mind. There will be special tributes to Paco Plaza, Javier Olivares and Theater Properties.

trasfondo del tema eje del festival y se realizarán homenajes a Paco Plaza, Javier Olivares y Theather Properties.

Se entregará el Premio “La TV es fantástica” a la mejor serie fantástica de TV 2012 a “Los Protegidos”; recogerá el premio Ana Fernández, actriz que interpreta el personaje de Sandra en la serie.

Será inaugurada una estatua en honor a Paul Naschy, uno de los fundadores del festival y, hasta su muerte en 2009, un asistente habitual.

Finalmente la Coral Magnum This year’s Fantasy TV award goes to the Antena 3 series “Los Protegidos” and will be received by one of the show’s stars.

The show features a group of young people who are brought together because of their special powers (Invisibility, teleki nesis,telepathy,doppleganging,electrical conductivity) and the need to be protected from an agency that seeks to abduct and control them. Very similar to New Mutants but with more concentration on the “family’s” personal lives and how they try to assimilate in a small town where they have to hide their abilities.

A statue will be unveiled in honour of the late, great Paul Naschy who was one of the founders of this festival and until his death in November 2009 was a regular at the festival.

Finally Estepona’s Magnum Mysterium Choir, as part of their 25 anniversary celebration will perform a concert featuring some of cinemas most iconic themes.

By way of a presentation for the XIII Costa del Sol International Fantasy Film Week there will be a screening at the Plaza de Toros in Estepona, on September 8 from 9.30 pm of the film “Abraham Lincoln, cazador de vampiros” (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter).

Presentación oficial de la XIII Semana Internacional de Cine Fantástico “Costa del Sol”, con la proyección de la película “Abraham Lincoln, cazador de vampiros”. Organiza Asociación Unicornio.

Costa Advice Bureau SPAIN, IS EVERYDAY LIVING BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE?

www.quiropracticacostadelsol.com

CLINICA QUIROPRÁCTICA EN ESTEPONA ¿Qué es una hernia de disco?

La columna vertebral está compuesta de 24 vértebras movibles, estas vértebras protegen la delicada, pero vital médula espinal. La médula espinal une el cerebro con todos los órganos del cuerpo. El cerebro envía impulsos eléctricos por la médula, y van a sus destinos a través de los nervios periféricos. Entre las vértebras tenemos el disco intervertebral, ellos dan la movilidad a la columna y ayuda a absorber y distribuir cualquier impacto a la columna.

El disco está hecho de dos estructuras: a) El núcleo pulposo, en el centro del disco. 90% del núcleo es agua. Durante la noche el núcleo pulposo reabsorbe el agua que se pierde durante el día, por esto es importante las horas de descanso.

b) Los anillos fibrosos, son unos anillos de cartílagos, envuelve el núcleo, manteniéndolo en el centro.

En una hernia discal los anillos de cartílagos que mantienen el disco en su sitio tienen varias pequeñas fisuras y el núcleo se desplaza entre ellos causando un bulto, a esto se le llama hernia discal. ¿Cual es la causa?

1) El más común es debido a un esfuerzo repentino. Por ejemplo, levantar algo pesado causando la hernia discal.

2) Pequeños micro traumas repetitivos. esto significa pequeños sobreesfuerzos que se van acumulando a lo largo de nuestra vida.

Los ajustes vertebrales quiroprácticos han demostrado que es un método seguro y efectivo contra muchos problemas de la columna vertebral incluyendo la hernia discal. El ajuste vertebral aplica un movimiento rápido y eficaz intentando quitar la presión al nervio que la hernia discal está haciendo en la misma. A su vez el ajuste quiropráctico ejerce una movilidad en la articulación vertebral que ayuda al disco a mantener una mejor nutrición y por lo tanto evita una degeneración del disco y más duración.

CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC IN ESTEPONA What is Disc Herniation?

The spine is composed of 24 movable vertebrae, these vertebrae protect the delicate but vital spinal cord. The spinal cord connects the brain to all organs of the body. The brain sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, and these travel on to their destinations via the peripheral nerves. Between the vertebrae we have intervertebral discs, they give mobility to the spine and help to absorb and distribute any impact to the column.

The intervertebral disc is made of two structures: a) The Nucleus pulposus in the center of the disc. 90% of the core is water. At night, the

Nucleus pulposus absorbs water lost during the day, so these are important hours of rest. b) The fibrous rings are rings of cartilage and surround the nucleus, keeping it in the

We enter the month of September, with a further increase in taxes We are in the month of September. Some of us maybe looking forward to the end of the tourist season when our visitors will have returned to their home countries and or to other regions of Spain. We may appreciate the slight drop in temperatures, giving us some respite from the heat. The end of the dreadful fires fanned by our warm westerly winds. Not having to endure being number twenty in supermarket queues. The return of our friends and neighbours, from visits to the United Kingdom and other cooler climates. There is one event that nobody will welcome. That is, the increase in the IVA rates, which will result in augmenting the costs of our provisions, utilities and all services Everyone is aware of the increase from 18% to 21%. There is also to be an increase in the lower rates of 8% to 10% . In the main, the lower rate of 4% on essentials are to remain the same. There will be a raise which unfortunately will affect some essentials lower rates which will soar by 13 and 17%. Some of the higher raises will affect the cost of funeral services and some health and dental products which are not presently exempt from taxes.

Banks and mortgage debts Some of our mortgage lenders appear to be acting in an incoherent manner when it comes to mortgage debt. In principle some of the lenders do not seem eager to negotiate with clients who wish to find a solution to the problems they are facing, with their mortgage repayments. A few clients have offered to continue paying their dues but with a shortfall of just almost a couple hundred euro’s. In fact four hundred euro instead of six hundred.

The bank after numerous meetings, have decided to offer the mortgage holder the right to give the keys back and remain debt free or to take legal action against him to embargo the property. Defaulters, who had received demands via the courts, to pay the complete amounts owed, are still waiting for up to two years or more for further news. If the banks director no longer wants to talk to you, there will be various reasons for this. The most common being that, they are no longer responsible for your case as the matter is either with

In a herniated disc, the cartilage rings that hold the disc in place have several small cracks and the nucleus moves between them causing a bulge, this is called a herniated disc.

What is the cause?

1) The most common is due to a sudden heavy strain. For example, heavy lifting causes a herniated disc.

2) Small repetitive micro trauma. This means overexertion that accumulate throughout our lives.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments have proven to be safe and effective against

many spinal problems including disc herniation. The spinal adjustment applies a fast and efficient movement trying easing pressure off the nerve that the disc herniation is doing at the same time.

In turn, a chiropractic exerts adjustment in spinal joint mobility that helps the disc to maintain better nutrition and therefore avoid degeneration of the disc helping it to last longer.

El Veterinario

Tambien sube tener un animal

El Consejo Andaluz de Colegios Oficiales Veterinarios alerta de que la subida del IVA puede causar graves consecuencias en la salud animal y humana.

Desde el Consejo Andaluz de Colegios Oficiales Veterinarios se quiere alertar del peligro que para la sanidad animal puede suponer la subida del IVA en un 13% (del 8 al 21%) sobre todo en las clínicas de animales de compañía. Este incremento supondrá un sobrecoste para la economía doméstica con consecuencias que puede afectar de forma directa a la salud, no solo de los animales, sino también de sus propietarios y la población en general.

El artículo 43 de la Constitución Española establece que: 1. Se reconoce el derecho a la protección de la salud.

2. Compete a los poderes públicos organizar y tutelar la salud pública a través de medidas preventivas y de las prestaciones y servicios necesarios. La ley establecerá los derechos y deberes de todos al respecto.

3. Los poderes públicos fomentarán la educación sanitaria, la educación física y el deporte. Asimismo facilitarán la adecuada utilización del ocio.

En lo que al Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido se refiere, el cumplimiento de este deber constitucional, que incumbe los poderes públicos, se veía reflejado en la exención del IVA respecto de la prestación de servicios sanitarios en medicina humana, y la aplicación del tipo reducido, en el caso de los servicios veterinarios.

Sin duda, el establecimiento del tipo general de IVA para los servicios veterinarios, supone un grave incumplimiento de este importantísimo deber constitucional por parte de los poderes públicos, que además puede acarrear graves perjuicios para la salud pública.

En efecto, teniendo en cuenta la actual situación de crisis económica, el sobre coste que este desproporcionado incremento de la carga tributaria supondrá para los propietarios de animales de compañía, puede poner en peligro el cumplimiento de los programas sanitarios que afectan a estos animales.

Así, es muy probable que se reduzcan las visitas al veterinario, lo que dificultará el control sanitario de los animales de compañía y puede acarrear consecuencias tan graves con las que se enumeran:

El incumplimiento de los programas de vacunaciones obligatorios, lo que puede suponer la aparición y proliferación de enfermedades con el consiguiente riesgo para la salud animal y humana. No se olvide que enfermedades animales como la leishmaniasis, hidatidosis, fiebre exantemática, rickettsiosis, psitacosis y por supuesto la rabia, son transmisibles al ser humano.

Dificultades en el diagnóstico y detección tardía de las enfermedades animales, lo que favorece su propagación e intensidad entre la población.

Incremento de los parásitos en convivencia con humanos, como hidatidosis, larvas migrans, parásitos externos etc.”

Aumento del abandono de animales, lo que facilita la propagación incontrolada de sus afecciones sanitarias, sin que las asociaciones protectoras de animales puedan asumir el consecuente incremento de gastos, teniendo en cuenta la escasez de recursos económicos con que cuentan (la gran mayoría aportaciones privadas) .

Por último, no debe olvidarse que en la sociedad actual, la tenencia de animales de compañía, no solo dista mucho de poder ser considerado como un artículo de lujo, sino que por el contrario, ha llegado a convertirse en una cuestión de primera necesidad. Baste citar la primordial función que cumplen los perros lazarillo; pero tampoco olvidemos la imagen, habitual en nuestras ciudades, de personas ancianas que caminan por la calle con la única compañía de su mascota.

Por todas estas consecuencias nefastas para la sociedad y porque hacer frente a ellas una vez padecidas supondrá un coste aún mayor, desde el Consejo Andaluz de Colegios oficiales de Veterinarios se solicita sustituir el incremento del 13% de IVA por un 2% en las clínicas de animales de compañía, el mismo que se aplicará a los servicios básicos.

El Consejo Andaluz de Colegios Oficiales de Veterinarios entiende y defiende que la atención médica para los animales y por ende, de los humanos, no es un artículo de lujo sino una necesidad primaria.

La salud es un derecho, no un privilegio.

Garantizarla es un deber constitucional que incumbe a los Poderes Públicos.

También habrá un aumento en todos los impuestos relativos a la alimentación y accesorios..

Vet’s Corner

The cost of keeping animals also rises The Andalucian Council of Official Veterinarians warns that the IVA (VAT) hike may cause serious consequences regarding animal and human health.

The Andalucian Council of Official Veterinarians wish to raise the awareness of the increased danger to the health of all animals (pets and livestock) that the VAT increase by 13% (from 8 to 21%) can make, especially in veterinary clinics. This increase will mean an extra cost in the domestic economy with consequences that can directly affect the health not only of animals, but also their owners as well as the general public.

Article 43 of the Spanish Constitution states: 1. The right to safeguards with regards to health care.

2. Designates that the public authorities are to organize and safeguard public health through preventive measures and by providing the necessary services and concomitant benefits. The law shall establish the rights and duties of all effected.

3. The public authorities shall foster health education, physical education, sports, and the proper use of leisure time.

As far as the IVA is concerned, the fulfillment of this constitutional duty, incumbent upon public authorities, was reflected in the exemption from IVA in respect of the provisions of health services in human medicine, and the reduced rate in the case of veterinary services. Undoubtedly, the establishment of the higher rate of IVA for veterinary services is a serious breach of this important constitutional duty on the part of public authorities, which can also cause serious damage to public health.

Indeed, given the current economic crisis, the cost of this disproportionate increase in the tax burden will mean an added strain on budgets for pet owners, and this may jeopardize the fulfillment of health programs that affect these animals. It is very likely to reduce vet visits, making it difficult for health checks on pets and can lead to such serious consequences;

the failure to comply with the mandatory vaccination programs, which may lead to the emergence and spread of diseases, furthering the risk to animal and human health. Do not forget that animal diseases such as leishmaniasis, hydatid disease (caused by a type of tapeworm), spotted fever, rickettsiosis, psittacosis, and above all rabies, all of which are transmissible to humans. This will result in the difficulties of early diagnosis and the resulting late detection of animal diseases, thereby favouring their spread and intensity among the animal population, as well as the increased parasite coexistence with humans, as hydatidosis, larvae migrans, external parasites etc. These higher taxes, in addition the current economic woes, are resulting in increased animal abandonment, which, in turn, facilitates the uncontrolled spread of their contagious health conditions. Without the animal welfare groups being able to assume the consequential increase of costs, taking into account the limited financial resources available to them (mostly through private contributions). Finally, do not forget that in today’s society, ownership of pets, not only it is far from being considered a luxury item, but on the contrary, has grown to become a matter of necessity. To cite the primary role that guide dogs play, but not to forget the image, common in our cities, of older people who walk down the street with only the company of their pet.

The Andalucian Council of Colleges of Veterinary understands and defends that medical care for animals and therefore humans, is not a luxury but a basic need, which is why they are lobbying the government to not increase the tax 13% but only 2% keeping in line with other sectors in society.

Health is a right, not a privilege, to ensure it is a constitutional duty incumbent upon government authorities.

There will also be an increase in all taxes relating to feed and accessories.

Últimas noticias sobre el puente peatonal río Manilva Los planes para el puente peatonal sobre el río Manilva para conectar los paseos marítimos de Sabinillas y Casares Costa parecen estar un poco más cerca de completarse después de ser aprobados por el Departamento de Costas, proyecto que costará unos € 196.000.

Las autoridades locales están buscando financiamiento bajo el Plan Qualifica para infraestructura turística del que se

espera hasta un 50% del coste total y el restante 50% dividido igualmente entre Casares y Manilva.

Este proyecto se ha estado llevando a cabo desde 2007 con aprobación, pero las limitaciones en el presupuesto del Ministerio de Medio Ambiente ha supuesto que la subvención ha tenido que proceder de Consejería de Turismo de Andalucía.

Latest news on the Rio Manilva pedestrian bridge Plans for the pedestrian bridge over the Rio Manilva connecting the promenades of Sabinillas and Casares Costa would appear to be a little closer to being completed after approval was given by the Coasts Department for the project which will cost some 196,000 euros.

The local authorities are seeking funding under the Plan Qualifica tourism infrastructure scheme which will hopefully

stump up 50% of the total cost with the remaining 50% split equally between Casares and Manilva.

This project has been ongoing since 2007 with approval having been given but constraints within the Environment Ministry’s budget has meant that the grant has had to be sourced from Andalucian Department of Tourism.

I Carrera de Balsas Duquesa demuestra un gran éxito

I Duquesa Inter Bar Raft Race proves a great success On Sunday August 26 the marina at Puerto de la Duquesa was the stage for the first Duquesa Inter Bar Raft Race.

Some seven ‘vessels’ were assembled by the participating bars using a wide variety of materials and designs.

Competing in the event were seven teams from Leisure Lounge, Kinsale, Fathoms Bar, Deja Vu, H2O and La Rambla Bar all with a maximum of six crew and no form of propulsion other than paddles.

El domingo 26 de agosto el Puerto de la Duquesa fue el escenario de la primera Carrera de Balsas Inter Bar Duquesa.

Unas siete «embarcaciones» fueron construidas por los bares participantes utilizando una amplia variedad de materiales y diseños. Compitieron en el evento siete equipos de Leisure Lounge, Kinsale, Bar Fathoms, Deja Vu, H2O y Bar La Rambla, todos con un máximo de seis tripulantes y sin ningún tipo de propulsión aparte de remos.

Después de que una de las balsas no sobreviviera al lanzamiento, los seis restantes partieron a las 11:00 h en la loca carrera hacia la línea de meta. La entrada ligera de H2O demostró ser el mejor diseño y después de ir perdiendo en la boya del medio de la carrera su capacidad de maniobra le ayudó a tomar el liderazgo que conservó hasta llegar a la meta.

El evento resultó ser un gran éxito y ya hay planes para que se repita el año que viene.

After one of the rafts failed to survive the launch, the remaining six set off around 11 am on the mad dash to the finishing line. H2O’s lightweight entry proved to be the best design and after trailing at the mid course buoy its superior manoeuvrability saw it take the lead which it retained to the finishing line.

The event proved to be a great success and there are already plans for a re-run next year.

En esta ocasión comparte escena con Jason Samuels Smith (Nueva York, 1980), uno de los referentes de lo que se conoce como tap, un estilo de danza que nace en EE.UU. en el siglo XIX como resultado de la mezcla de bailes tradicionales ingleses, escoceses, irlandeses y africanos, y que toma su nombre del sonido que producen las placas de metal del bailarín al percutir contra el suelo. La conversación rítmica de flamenco y tap determina un encuentro que parece inevitable, como si desde su nacimiento estas dos expresiones dancísticas estuvieran hechas para complementarse mutuamente.

This time he shares the stage with Jason Samuels Smith (New York, 1980), one of the masters of tap, a style of dance born in the U.S. in the nineteenth century as a result of the mixture of traditional English, Scottish, Irish and African dance, which is named after the sound of the metal plates inside the dancers shoes striking the ground. The rhythmic harmony between flamenco and tap makes an encounter inevitable, as if these two dances were made ​​to complement each other.

Residente local corre la Maratón de Amsterdam para ADANA

La residente de Sotogrande Angelika Weyrich ama a los animales y usualmente pasea como voluntaria a los perros de ADANA en el Parque de los Pedregales.

De nacionalidad alemana, Angelika, una corredora de maratón con experiencia, ha decidido correr la Maratón de Amsterdam, que se celebra en la capital holandesa a finales de octubre, llevando un par especial de zapatillas Nike con el logo de ADANA y una camiseta con el lema ‘ADANA ESTEPONA ESPAÑA. “Esto debería ser una buena publicidad para la ciudad, así como para traer dinero a ADANA”, dijo María Cawsey, Presidenta de la asociación.

Angelika, una madre de tres hijos, llegó a España hace cinco años. Tiene

seis perros, uno de ellos recientemente rescatado de la asociación. Cabe destacar el esfuerzo que tiene que hacer para cubrir sus agotadoras sesiones de entrenamiento matinal en la que corre al menos ochenta kilómetros por semana.

Veterana acostumbrada a participar en prestigiosas maratones, ha corrido las maratones de Nueva York y Sevilla con tiempos excelentes (menos de cuatro horas y media). Su objetivo es completar la carrera de Amsterdam en tres horas y cuarto. Si tiene éxito formará parte de la categoría “Elite” ADANA agradece a Angelika que dedique su carrera a los muchos perros abandonados, que están al cuidado de la caridad en la perrera situada en el Parque de los Pedregales, en Estepona.

Local woman runs Amsterdam Marathon for ADANA Sotogrande resident Angelika Weyrich loves animals and usually volunteers to walk ADANA dogs in the Pedregales Park.

Originally from Germany, Angelika is an experienced marathon runner and has decided to run the Amsterdam Marathon, which takes place in the Dutch capital in late October, wearing a special pair of Nike shoes with the Adana logo and a shirt with the slogan ‘ADANA ESTEPONA SPAIN’.

“This should be good publicity for the town, and will bring funds to ADANA” said Maria Cawsey, President of the association.

Angelika, a mother of three children, came to Spain five years ago. She has six dogs, one of them recently rescued from the

association. She follows a grueling training routine every morning, running at least fifty miles a week.

As a veteran runner accustomed to participating in prestigious marathons, she has run marathons in New York and Seville with excellent times (less than four hours).

Programa de radio ‘La Pareja Rara’

Hace poco más de un año un par de amantes de la música con una mentalidad muy parecida crearon una organización llamada El Intercambio con el objetivo de promocionar la música y músicos locales y proporcionar un centro desde el cual reunir a todos aquellos involucrados en la música local, incluyendo locales, sellos discográficos, estudios, promotores y por supuesto oyentes.

Durante este tiempo, a menudo he escuchado comentarios diciendo que la música Española es todo flamenco o Europop y se ha quedado atrapado en los años ochenta, comentarios que no tienen sentido después de ver la asombrante cantidad de riqueza y variedad del talento que hemos encontrado desde el comienzo de este proyecto y que obviamente no estaba encontrando su camino hacia la radio local.

Por lo tanto, en un esfuerzo para quebrar el mito y frente a esta falta de

música local en las emisoras locales, decidimos montar un programa de radio con el objetivo de dar a conocer algunas de las bandas y artistas del sur de España que hasta ahora nos han estado impresionando.

El programa de una hora, la primera de las cuales ya está disponible en línea, se basa en una amplia gama de géneros desde el rock al reggae, blues, country, hip hop y house, en realidad no hay mucho que no nos guste, el único requisito es que sea material local y original en su mayor parte.

Para escuchar el programa vé a www. elintercambio.org / radio-show donde puedes escuchar o descargar el programa.

El Intercambio es una comunidad y como tal da la bienvenida a cualquier sugerencia, sean para el programa, críticas de conciertos / grupos / álbumes o fechas de conciertos, etc. Envía tus sugerencias a info@elintercambio.org

The Odd Couple radio show

By El Intercambio’s ‘Not Yer NME’ Just over a year ago a couple of like minded music lovers set up an organisation called El Intercambio with the aim of promoting local music and musicians and providing a hub from which to draw together all those involved in local music including venues, record labels, studios, promoters and of course listeners.

During this time I’ve often heard comments that Spanish music is all flamenco or Europop and was stuck in the eighties, comments that didn’t sit with the wealth and variety of the talent that we’d come across since we began this project and which was obviously not finding its way onto local radio So in an effort to bust this myth and address this lack of local music on local stations we decided to put together a radio show with

the aim of showcasing some of the bands and artists in the South of Spain that have had us buzzing in that time.

The one hour show, the first of which is already available online, draws on a wide range of genres from rock to reggae, blues, country, hip hop and house, in fact there’s not much we don’t like, the only requirement is that its local and predominantly original material.

To listen to the show then go to www. elintercambio.org/radio-show where you can stream or download the programme.

El Intercambio is a community and as such welcome your input, whether suggestions for the show, gig/band/album reviews, or concert dates, etc. Send your suggestions to info@elintercambio.org

Hotel y restaurante que resiste la tendencia En medio de todas las malas noticias de los últimos meses es bueno escuchar de los negocios que están prosperando en el clima económico actual y uno de ellos es un hotel rural cerca de Ronda.

Molino del Santo, una de las primeras empresas rurales de Andalucía, ha estado operativo desde 1987 y siempre ha tenido una buena clientela. Sin embargo, 2012 está demostrando ser un gran año para la empresa británica por el aumento de las ventas, tanto en el hotel y el restaurante por más del 15% en comparación con el año pasado.

El propietario Andy Chapell está encantado con la forma en que la temporada se está desarrollando, lo que significa que puede ofrecer puestos de trabajo seguros a más de 20 empleados.

Las razones para el éxito en 2012 de acuerdo con Andy son muchas, aunque difíciles de cuantificar. El

volumen de comercio español de este año ha decrecido ya que los locales se están apretando el cinturón, pero ha sido más que compensada por los británicos, holandeses, estadounidenses y, notablemente, australianos.

La calidad también parece ser clave en la creación de una fiel clientela - y más del 75% de los visitantes, tanto en el hotel y el restaurante Molino del Santo han estado antes - algunos de ellos muchas, muchas veces en el transcurso de tan solo esta temporada.

“Creo que tenemos una gran combinación de una magnífica ubicación, un personal increíblemente amable, excelente comida y una zona que ofrece muchas actividades para todas las edades e intereses, todos ellos con un compromiso de calidad”, dice el orgulloso dueño.

Hotel and restaurant bucking the trend Amidst all the gloomy news of recent months it is good to hear of businesses that are thriving in the present economic climate and one such is a rural hotel near Ronda.

Molino del Santo, one of the first rural enterprises in Andalucia, has been operating since 1987 and has always had a good following. However 2012 is proving to be a great year for the British-owned concern with sales in both the hotel and restaurant up by over 15% compared with last year.

Owner Andy Chapell is delighted with the way this season is developing and is pleased that this means he can offer secure jobs to over 20 staff.

The reasons for the success in 2012 according to Andy are many, although

difficult to quantify. There has been a slowdown in the amount of Spanish trade this year as locals tighten their belts but this has been more than compensated for

by Brits, Dutch, Americans and notably Australians.

Quality also seems to be the key to creating a loyal following – and over 75% of the visitors both to the hotel and restaurant at Molino del Santo have been before – some of them many, many times over the course of just this season.

“I think we have a great combination of a wonderful location, amazingly friendly staff, excellent food and an area which offers many activities for all ages and interests, all with a commitment to quality, ” says the proud proprietor.

Llanto por un naufrago

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

POR LLEGAR DONDE ESTÁS TÚ Me fui al norte, el mar me hablaba, después al sur, navegante del alba.

Me fui, que, de no ser porque te quiero tanto, no habría norte ni sur.

Mi buque se queda varado, mediterráneo de luz abre el pórtico del alma, se muere un marinero por llegar donde estás tú.

Me fui al norte, el mar me hablaba, y del norte me fui al sur.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera “Traineras y meridianos” (1983-2010)

AHORA ENCARNA EL ANZUELO Ahora encarna el anzuelo, un silencio que lo rompe solamente una sirena, que ella no quede presa de la luna, y que salga a flote.

Arroja el sedal, después siente el silencio, en la playa, la flor de agua quiere sentir otro verso, a tus pies la sirena sonríe y adivina tu pensamiento: la nada es un océano para llenar el corazón de amores y de secretos.

Encarnar: Acomodar un cebo en el anzuelo Francisco Rodríguez Herrera “Traineras y meridianos” (1983-2010)

En la alcoba un niño llora el naufragio.

Su padre, no volvió del mar.

Se resume la vida en una ola.

La muerte lo llenó de corales y sangre.

Azul el mar y el llanto negro de una guitarra.

Se lleva el agua al marinero que cada día al niño cantaba.

Y una guitarra, cuerda de rayos rompe en la orilla.

Viene la brisa de la mañana, pero no llega el pescador hoy a la casa.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera “Traineras y meridianos” (1983-2010)

TODO EL MAR SE ABALIZA El mar se abaliza (y ya lo dije una vez, son caramelos de agua para delfines que pasan), aurora marcada lo acompaña, seguros, los delfines, en su navegar con su inteligencia y su gracia, hablan al marinero: No quieras ya recalar en ningún puerto, quédate en el buque y contempla la baliza cercana al puerto.

Poder mirarte es para mí un alivio, mi contento, yo te protejo, navega sin ningún miedo.

Los vertellos de tu barco que forman el vacamento también son dulces caramelos, rosario de sentimientos, que la sal del mar hoy no puede dejarte sin la dulzura de este añil donde navegan tus sueños.

Detrás de ti una barca repleta de peces, rebosando la madrugada su color, el pescador está cansado, la voluntad de los mares apuestan por la salvación.

El día en que lo iban a matar, Jesús tomo del mar un escapulario de olas, la sangre como espuma se hizo luz del alma.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera “Traineras y meridianos” (1983-2010)

AMARRA LA BARCA ¡Venga, amarra en el noray la barca antes de que se la lleve el viento!

Ayer los bálamos presagiaban el mal tiempo.

Los peces son sabios, en sus versos de agua nadan buscando a Dios, y, conscientes de los mares, nutren los puertos.

Ahora llega el levante, fortísima canción carraspeando en olas como guitarra loca. ¡Venga, amarra en el noray la barca antes de que se la lleve el viento!

Health

The Resident - www.theresident.eu

A Healthier Life with JoJo France and Claudia Norris This month’s article will be in 2 parts. This month will be looking at what makes an Olympic athlete and how to get the most from your body. Next month we’ll awarding medals with personal bests and meal plans.

Last month saw the London 2012 Olympics Games take place. Many of us will have compared our bodies to the athletes - admiring their muscles and asking ourselves how do we get muscles like that in our back, legs, arms etc. Of course many of us do not have the time to devote to the training or the genetics to make it to the Olympics, but we are going to share the top 10 professional tips to making the most of your body.

1. Know your body type

Some of us are built for speed, some for endurance and some for power. Some of us have never tried the sport or exercise that we could be great at. Look back at our previous Resident articles (available on-line) - it gives a description of your body composition and what science tells us about your body shape, it also recommends a range of exercises and sports that you may be great at maybe its time to try something new Sam Callan, an exercise physiologist who works with USA Cycling, says that all the training in the world can only change you a little bit, hence the reason why Arnold Schwarzenegger probably couldn’t have been a longdistance runner.

2. Determine your goals

You’re bound to be better at some kinds of physical events than others, so choose one or two that feel natural and that you enjoy. You’ll be much more likely to stick with it, and see success.

Do you want to slim down? Focus on nutrition and a routine of steady cardiovascular endurance exercise, with short bursts of speed called interval training. Do you want to build up your cardiovascular endurance? Try swimming, cycling, running distance and boxing, If it’s speed you’re after, try adding sprints to your routine. If you only have a short time to work out, try circuit training, which consists of a series of resistance training exercises performed one after the other, with minimal rest.

However, if you have weak area such as core or back consider specific training such as pilates, yoga or TRX.

3. Eat healthily

Three-time Olympic gold winning swimmer Brooke Bennett says that diet should be the first focus for anyone hoping to improve physical well-being.

“Nutrition is key in anybody’s life, whether we’re professional athletes or working at a desk”, she says. “It’s about 80% of our lifestyle”.

Content, not calories should be the focus for any “Olympic body” plan. Besides the obvious - fruit, vegetables, lean proteins and slow carbohydrates like brown rice and sweet potatoes – and watching the sugar content of the foods you eat. Sugar has a high-calorie count but it’s metabolised quickly, so if you’re not burning the sugars while working out, you’re going to put on weight and increasing your fat stores.

4. Eat frequently

With a mixture of protein and carbohydrates at every meal. Your body needs a steady supply of fuel if it’s going to function at maximum efficiency. Eating frequently also increases your body’s metabolism which means it will burn more calories.

Olympic athletes eat five to six meals a day, with protein at each, to increase lean muscle mass and maintain maximum efficiency. So plan to eat smaller meals, ideally two to three hours between each.

This keeps your body running efficiently so that everything you’re using is converted to energy and your body doesn’t store anything.

5. Watch the mirror, not the scale

Even if your goal is weight loss, the healthiest of programmes focus on decreasing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass, not a particular number on the scales.

It’s similar to age - you could be 45 but feel 30. Age and weight are just numbers that we get obsessed with, but they don’t mean we’re healthy. Instead of weighing, ask

someone to measure you every two weeks and measure your body fat once a month, which will provide an indication of how much fat you’re actually losing.

6. Drink plenty of water

The body is made up of 60% water, which means it needs a regular supply to survive. A fluid loss of even 2% body weight will affect circulatory functions and decrease performance.

The amount of water each person needs will vary depending on many factors such as an underlying medical condition, physical activity level, and environment. Most water that we consume comes from drinks, but about 20% comes from food. Too much water can be harmful.

7. Ease into new exercises

If you are going from cyclist to runner or runner to cyclist, you may be pretty fit, but your muscles or skeletal system might not be ready for the new sport. So take it easy at first, and don’t overdo it, but remember, change is fantastic- our bodies very easily plateau and we stop seeing improvements unless we vary our workouts and keep challenging ourselves.

8. Vary your activity, but include weights

Olympic athletes spend a lot of time on their primary activity (a cyclist will ride, a runner will run), but for most of us, varying the activity reduces boredom and uses a variety of muscles which may otherwise not get worked.

If your time is limited then look at doing ‘full body weight workouts’ include all the major muscle groups each time you train- back, legs, butt and chest.

Strength and power come from resistance training, these are important components of any sport. Working out with weights will also reduce the loss of muscle mass that often occurs with ageing. Even men in their 70s and 80s have put on lean mass with a relatively basic strength-training programme, you don’t have to pump iron everyday to maintain lean muscle mass 3 times a week but training every body part is sufficient, I advise train wiser and not longer.

9. Train regularly and consistently

“The more intense the training is, the more you’re going to reach your potential”, says Sam Callan. “You will not find an Olympic athlete who is not highly, highly trained.

They don’t roll out of bed and win the 100-metre sprint or the 50-metre freestyle. They spend hours and hours on training of all sorts”.

Not everyone can or wants to commit to hours and hours of training each day, set yourselves a goal 3 x40 minute workouts per week, where you will get hot and sweaty and at least one of them will be some form of resistance training- any time that you spend active is better than time spent lying on the sofa watching TV

10. Consider hiring a personal trainer

In my experience people who get the best out of a PT are the ones who just want to be leaner and healthier exercise is a way of life and for some people they realise that this is easier to do with some one guiding them through what they consider and mine field of exercise jargon. I see my job as working with your body, finding the right programme to achieve the goals that we set together-one where we both see great changes in your shape and your health there is an investment involved, but for most people when after 6 weeks they have dropped a clothes size and begin to feel good in them selves that investment is considered one of the best they have made .

Just remember exercise is a way of life, just find an exercise that you enjoy!

By Limit Consulting

The medical card (tarjeta sanitaria individual) is the document that identifies the individual before the Public Health Authorities of Andalucia. Each person should posses one, including expats that work in Andalucia and are registered in the Social Security and their families.

It is important that even children have one from birth.

The first step is including other members of your family under your benefits as user of Social Security.

This is done in the offices of Social Security, in the information desk (Centro de Atención e Información de la Seguridad Social CAISS).

How to obtain your medical card in Andalucia The necessary documentation is: passport and Residencia of every member of the family and proof of family relationship, such as birth certificate, “libro de familia”, marriage certificate. No translation is needed, though you have to show the originals.

On the moment, if everything is correct, you will be given a accreditation document that you will need for the following step at your local health center. ( Essentially this document is enough to receive medical care in all Spain. But having a personal card for each member allows you, for instance,to choose a doctor different from that of other member)
