EDITORIAL ¡Hola lectores! Bien, ya hemos sobrevivido otro verano, y ¡qué otro verano! ¿soy yo o es que pareció que hemos tenido una clase de asalto bíblico con un gran toque de las Plagas de Egipto? Primero fue la plaga de medusas, luego los incendios y posteriormente las inundaciones.

Ahora parece que se ha apaciguado un poco y que el otoño ha entrado con un tiempo normal.

Durante el pasado año he estado involucrado con una organización llamada El Intes, la cual se encuentra en el Sur de España, podéis leer sobre El Intercambio en página 23 o visitando su página web en www.elintercambio.org. Algunos de vosotros podéis recordar que en 2010 se puso en marcha Thercambio, el cual se dedicaba a promover música y músicos locales, siendo parte de El Intercambio he descubierto el

Hello readers, well we’ve survived yet another summer, and what a summer it was. Is it me or did it feel like some kind of biblical assault with a heavy touch of the Plagues of Egypt - First was a plague of jellyfish, then came trial by fire, closely followed by that of water. Still, it all seems to have settled down now to a nice calm autumn with ‘normal’ weather.

Over the past year I have been involved with an organisation called El Intercambio which seeks to promote local music and musicians. It’s only since being part of El Intercambio that I’ve discovered what a huge number of bands and artists writing and performing original music of all genres can be found in the South of Spain you can read more about El Intercambio on page 23 or visit their

gran número de bandas y artistas que escriben e interpretan música, música original de todos los géneros en Resident Plus, ésto se llevó a cabo durante un par de meses y debido a problemas en el software, tuvimos que suspenderlo hasta obtener una mejor aplicación para el iPad. Bien, ya solucionado el problema otra vez lo hemos puesto en funcionamiento.

The Plus, el próximo mes, tendrá noticias, personajes, entrevistas, etc, así pues asegúrese de entrar en nuestra página web www.theresident.eu o mejor envíenos un correo a editor@ theresident.eu y le añadiremos a la lista de subscriptores, los cuales tan pronto como The Resident Plus sea publicado lo recibirán.

Creo que eso es todo por este mes, así que hasta el mes que viene.

website at www.elintercambio.org Some of you may remember back in 2010 when we launched The Resident Plus which ran for a couple of months before, due to software issues, we suspended until a better iPad application was available. Well you’ll pleased to know that we will be relaunching The Plus next month with an issue packed with news, features, interviews, etc., so make sure you check out the website at www. theresident.eu, or better still email us at editor@theresident.eu and we’ll add you to the list of subscribers who will recieve notice as soon as The Resident Plus in published.

I think that’s enough excitement for one month, so here’s till next time.

The Four Wizards at Deathly Side (Los cuatro magos del lado de la Muerte) - Primera Película en Sotogrande International School

Un glamuroso evento de alfombra roja tuvo lugar en la Escuela Internacional de Sotogrande (SIS) la semana pasada, para la primera proyección pública de ‘Los cuatro magos del lado de la Muerte’.

El corto fue escrito por alumnos de P6 Juliana Pouroulis y Jade Burgess, ambos de diez años, y protagonizado por muchos de sus compañeros de SIS Primaria. La película fue dirigida y filmada por el alumno de SIS Sam Reynard.

La película cuenta la historia de cuatro estudiantes de magia que intentan superar a un malvado villano.

Sam, quien tiene una licenciatura en producción de cine y video, y su director de proyecto Hayley Reed, trabajaron en estrecha colaboración con las chicas para crear la película. Más de 20 estudiantes de primaria y sus ayudantes pasaron

varios días de calor en junio rodando la película, y Sam ha pasado el último par de meses editándola e introduciendo efectos especiales.

Sam dijo: “Yo estaba dispuesto a participar en el proyecto, no era la primera vez que he trabajado con niños, y siempre resulta divertido, pero desafiante. Yo tengo mucho respeto por mis viejos maestros en el SIS y el apoyo que dan a los estudiantes a perseguir sus ambiciones “.

Y agregó: “La historia está escrita por dos jóvenes muy entusiastas, y con su energía, la película siempre iba a ser una aventura a crear. Estoy orgulloso de ser parte de la película. Los cuatro magos del lado de la Muerte es una película de suspenso y aventura mágica, y estoy seguro que a cualquier audiencia le encantará “.

Orange Peel fueron coronados vencedores en la I Batalla de las Bandas de Sotogrande El grupo de Gibraltar Orange Peel fueron coronados vencedores en la I Batalla de las Bandas de Sotogrande este mes, celebrada en el Patio Bar y Restaurante Mar y Sol, Sotogrande.

En una competición muy estrecha lucharon con muy poca separación entre las ocho bandas, los rockeros de Gibraltar se llevaron los honores, justo por delante de sus compañeros gibraltareños 3 Days II Rise quienes quedaron en segundo lugar y el dúo Soul Circus en un cercano tercer lugar.

El concurso fue organizado por El Intercambio y Deborah Boden, en colaboración con Discotecas Martini, Rock on the Rock, Música MAPH, Trevor Brooks Photography, The Courtyard Bar and Restaurant, Manilva Media Workshop y The Resident con agradecimiento también a Studio 67 Records.

El evento fue un éxito enorme, con una gran audiencia reunida para ver algunas de las mejores bandas de la zona en la batalla, estas bandas son: Orange Peel; The Bank; Minimal Soul Circus; 3 Days II Rise; Moonshine; Sista Dee and the Wise Up Youth; HeadWires; y Catastrophe Owls.

Cada grupo tuvo que realizar una canción original y una de otra banda ante un jurado de cuatro jueces relacionados con la industria de la música local.

Los organizadores también quieren agradecer a Corinthian Trust Company Limited of Gibraltar por su patrocinio.

The Four Wizards at Deathly Side - Film Orange Peel win I Sotogrande Battle premier at Sotogrande International School of the Bands

The writers - Juliana and Jade A glamorous, red carpet movie premier was held at Sotogrande International School (SIS) last week, for the first public screening of ‘The Four Wizards at Deathly Side’.

The short film was written by P6 students Juliana Pouroulis and Jade Burgess, both ten years old, and starred many of their peers from SIS Primary. The film was directed and filmed by SIS alumni Sam Reynard.

The film tells the story of four student wizards overcoming an evil, scheming villain.

Sam, who has a Bachelor of Arts degree in film and video production, and his project manager Hayley Reed, worked closely with the girls to create the short adventure film.

More than 20 primary students and their

helpers spend several hot days in June filming the film, and Sam has spent the last couple of months editing and putting in special effects.

Sam said: “I was keen to get involved in the project, it wasn’t the first time I have worked with children on set, and it always proves to be fun, yet challenging. I have much respect for my old teachers at SIS and with the support they give the students to pursue their ambitions.”

He added: “The story is written by two very enthusiastic young girls, and with their energy on set, the film was always going to be an adventure to create. I am proud to be a part of the film. The Four Wizards at Deathly Side is an magical adventure, thriller and is sure to be a crowd pleaser no matter who the audience.”

Gibraltar band Orange Peel were crowned victors at this month’s I Sotogrande Battle of the Bands held at the Courtyard Bar and Restaurant, Mar y Sol, Sotogrande.

In a close fought contest with very little separating the eight bands, the rock three piece took the honours just ahead of fellow Gibraltarians 3DaystoRise in second place with the duo Minimal Soul Circus a close third.

The contest was organised by El Intercambio and Deborah Boden, in collaboration with Martini Discotheques, Rock on the Rock, Maph Music, Trevor Brooks Photography, The Courtyard Bar and Restaurant, Manilva Media Workshop and The Resident with thanks also going to Studio 67 Records.

The event was a huge success with a large

audience gathered to see some of the best bands in the area do battle, these bands being: Orange Peel; The Bank; Minimal Soul Circus; 3 Days II Rise; Moonshine; Sista Dee and the Wise Up Youth; HeadWires; and Catastrophe Owls.

Each band had to perform an original song and a cover of another band’s track before a jury of four judges from within the local music industry.

The organisers would also like to give Corinthian Trust Company Limited of Gibraltar a big thank you for their sponsorship.

If you would like to read a full and detailed review of the bands and their performances then visit www.elintercambio.org where you will find this and much more information about the local music scene.

La documentación presentada será analizada de inmediato por el personal

municipal y en caso de estar correcta lo firmará y completará la comunicación con una diligencia de «Expediente Completo».

Licensing process for minor works streamlined The new Minor Works Municipal Ordinance has been introduced, a law with which the Town Hall of Casares intends to streamline and simplify the administrative procedures for the obtention of a minor works license.

This licence covers simple repairs, decoration, adornment or fencing, which do not require a technical project, with a budget of under € 10,000.

The special procedure established by this legislation will serve to allow those who are going to perform some work in their home or business to have only to notify the Técnicos Municipales de Urbanismo through the standard properly completed paperwork.

Once the documents are submitted they will be reviewed immediately by the Town Hall staff and if it is correct and everything is in order they will sign the paperwork off as complete.

This paperwork, together with proof that the self-asessed taxes have been paid, will be registered at the Planning Office after which it will be concluded and archived.

The applicant will have a period of two months to begin the work after the license has been granted.

Municipal technicians will conduct a visit to verify that the work is in line with the request, otherwise, the Town Hall will apply sanctions.

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.

Turismo retoma contactos con la ciudad Rumana de Piatra Neamt

El concejal delegado de Turismo ha mostrado interés en retomar los acuerdos alcanzados en su día con la ciudad rumana de Piatra Neamt con la que se realizó un hermanamiento en el año 2002.

Los primeros contactos se han establecido hace unas semanas con motivo de la terminación de una gran actuación de construcciones y remodelaciones del centro histórico de esta ciudad que ha supuesto la construcción de un nuevo Ayuntamiento. Por ello, el alcalde de Piatra Neamt, Gheorghe Stefan, se puso en contacto con el Consistorio manilveño para solicitar una bandera de

Manilva, que ya ha sido recibida por la ciudad hermana, y que será ubicada en la fachada del nuevo edificio consistorial de Piatra Neamt, junto a las banderas de otras ciudades hermanadas con esa bella ciudad rumana. Desde Piatra Neamt han agradecido la pronta respuesta del Consistorio manilveño.

Piatra Neamt es una ciudad de Rumania con 115.178 habitantes y capital del distrito de Neamt debido a su ubicación privilegiada en la montañas de los Cárpatos orientales, se considera una de las ciudades más pintorescas de Rumania

Manilva resumes contact with the Romanian city of Piatra Neamt

The Councillor for Tourism has shown interest in resuming agreements reached in 2002 with the Romanian city of Piatra Neamt when it was twinned with Manilva.

Initial contact was established a few weeks ago due to the completion of a great construction and renovation project

of the historic centre of the city, including the construction of a new Town Hall.

Manilva Campaña de la uva 2012

Cafe Bar For Breakfast Snacks & Drinks Open Tues-Sun 10 am - 6 pm Closed Monday

Las lluvias tardías registradas el pasado mes de mayo y las neblinas de este verano han perjudicado la producción de la uva de esta temporada con respecto a la de la anterior en el municipio de Manilva.

La cosecha puede verse mermada en torno a un 15 o un 20% con respecto a la temporada pasada.

Muchos agricultores están destinando entre 500 y 1.000 kilogramos de la producción a la elaboración de vino, así como a la producción de pasas como otras salidas al fruto. Ambas opciones están registrando este año un notable incremento.

La Junta de Andalucía se ha comprometido en una reunión mantenida hace unos días a fomentar el turismo enológico en Málaga, además de hacer que Manilva tenga un lugar en la ruta enológica de la provincia.

También se habló del MOMA, un vino moscatel que fue lanzado el pasado mes de julio y que está teniendo éxito.

Está elaborado en la bodega Pagos del Peñoncillo y forma parte de un proyecto impulsado por el Gobierno local y la Fundación de Manilva para el Desarrollo (FUNMADES) con el objetivo de fomentar el turismo enológico en la zona y ofrecer una alternativa de empleo para todos aquellos viticultores que quieran rentabilizar sus explotaciones.

Actualmente hay muchísima gente que compra este caldo en la Fundación de Manilva para el Desarrollo, y en la Escuela-Taller de Las Viñas. En la localidad también se han puesto en marcha otras iniciativas relacionadas con el sector como un ciclo formativo de grado superior en Viniviticultura o la venta de uvas frescas ‘online’.

Manilva 2012 Grape Harvest report Late rains during last May and this summer’s mists have damaged grape production this season in the municipality of Manilva compared to last season’s harvest. It may have been reduced by around 15 to 20% from last season.

Many farmers are dedicating between 500 and 1,000 kilograms of their product to wine, as well as the production of dried fruit and other products. Both activities are experiencing a significant increase this year.

The Junta de Andalucía agreed in a meeting recently to promote wine tourism in Malaga, besides giving Manilva a place on the province’s wine route.

MOMA was also spoken about, a muscat wine launched last July which is now

proving popular. It is produced in the Pagos del Peñoncillo Winery and is part of a project initiated by the local government and the Foundation for the Development of Manilva (FUNMADES) aiming to promote wine tourism in the area and provide alternative employment for those vineyard owners who want to make a profit from their land.

There are currently many people who buy this wine from the Manilva Foundation for Development, and the Las Viñas School-Workshop. The municipality has also launched other initiatives related to the sector, such as a higher Degree in Winemaking and the sale of fresh grapes online.

Excursión a Rute La delegación municipal de Turismo ha organizado una excursión a la población cordobesa de Rute para el próximo 24 de noviembre, sábado. La visita consistirá en salida en autobús desde Manilva, recorrido turístico por la ciudad con guía para visitar el típico Belén de Chocolate, un espectáculo y almuerzo, entre otras

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.

En estos tiempos económicos difíciles, siempre es bueno ver a las empresas locales en expansión, como es el caso de la Librería Inglesa en Sabinillas. En las últimas semanas la tienda ha sido ampliada creando más del doble de espacio.

Esto le ha permitido a Steve, el propietario, ampliar la gama de productos disponibles que ahora incluyen: papelería, tarjetas de regalo, llaveros, agendas, calendarios, etc. La gama de tarjetas de felicitación ha triplicado, al igual que la selección de libros con libros infantiles, libros de autores locales, una selección completa de ficción y otra de no ficción. La tienda ahora también cuenta con una

sección dedicada a artículos de fiesta, incluyendo globos de helio.

La Librería Inglesa es también un agente oficial de Impactos Móvil, y por lo tanto ofrece teléfonos móviles, tarjetas SIM, recargas y pronto también dispondrán de ‘smartphones’ para la venta.

Todo ello bajo la atenta supervisión de Eva el loro que se ha establecido de nuevo en la rutina después de su reciente intento por conseguir la libertad!

Para más información contacte con Steve en el 952 891 545 o por correo electrónico steve@ sabinillasbookshop.com

• 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.

English Bookshop - a growing business In these difficult economic times it’s always good to see local businesses expanding, as is the case with the English Bookshop in Sabinillas. Over recent weeks the shop has been enlarged, more than doubling the shop area.

Servicio de Autobús Urbano Ha sido anunciado hoy que la mesa de contratación ha propuesto a la empresa Autocares Ricardo, SL como adjudicataria de la concesión para la gestión del servicio público de transporte urbano en el municipio. La firma del contrato y la puesta en marcha se producirá una vez que el Consejo Consultivo de la Junta de Andalucía se pronuncie sobre la resolución de la concesión que existe con la empresa CTSA Portillo, que dejó de prestar el servicio en enero de 2011.

La concesionaria ha propuesto una ampliación de la cobertura del transporte urbano, con la implantación de dos líneas -este y oeste- con origen en el Centro de Estepona. La empresa llevará a cabo el recorrido dentro del casco urbano, con una veintena de paradas dentro del mismo; y en horario ininterrumpido de

8.00 a 20.00 horas, de lunes a domingo, con una frecuencia máxima de paso por parada de 30 minutos. Se incluye además la unión del casco urbano con la urbanización Las Joyas.

Se ha exigido que existan tarifas reducidas, con el objetivo de favorecer a los empadronados que tengan más de 65 años o menos de 25 años; así como tarjetas multiviaje para éstos y el resto de usuarios. Se ha establecido bonos para pensionistas y jóvenes que contarán con una reducción de más del 50% en el precio de los billetes.

Los autobuses también serán adaptados a las personas con movilidad reducida y poseerán plazas sentadas y de pie. El plazo de la concesión será de diez años, tal y como determina la legislación vigente que regula el transporte público.

Nuevas esculturas en Estepona El alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, ha inaugurado hoy dos obras del afamado escultor Santiago de Santiago, quien atendió el evento. Se trata de “El amor salva” y “Milagros”, ambas realizadas en bronce y de más de un metro de altura, situadas en las Plazas Blas Infante y Cañada, respectivamente.

Se están estudiando nuevas ubicaciones para otras piezas del escultor siguiendo así el plan cultural de embellecimiento para la zona y uniéndose a las otras esculturas del mismo escultor

previamente colocadas además de piezas de autores Toby Govan, Francisco Alarcón y Joaquín Aguilera.

Santiago de Santiago es uno de los escultores españoles más importantes de finales del siglo XX. Ha realizado bustos de varios miembros de la Casa Real española y de personalidades ilustres.

Algunas de sus creaciones se encuentran expuestas en parques públicos de Japón, Rusia, México y Dinamarca, entre otros países.

Urban Bus Service It has been announced that the company Autocares Ricardo, SL has been awarded the concession for the management of the urban public transport service in Estepona.

The signing of the contract and the launch of the new service will occur once the Advisory Council of Andalucia resolve the concession which exists with the CTSA Portillo company, who ceased to provide their services in January 2011.

The new company has proposed an extension of the coverage of urban transport, with the implementation of an east and a west line, originating at the centre of Estepona. The service will provide travel within the town, with twenty stops, operating continuously from 8 am till

8 pm, Monday to Sunday, with a maximum frequency of 30 minute intervals. It also includes the connection between the town centre and the Las Joyas urbanization.

A requirement of the concession was that there be reduced rates, with the aim of favouring registered voters older than 65 or younger than 25 years and bus passes for everyone. Pensioners and young people will benefit from a reduction of over 50% in the price of tickets.

Buses will also be suitable for people with reduced mobility and will have standing space as well as seats. The concession period is ten years, determined by the legislation regulating public transport.

Donación desde el Rotary Club Estepona La concejala del área Sociocultural, María Dolores Espinosa, ha agradecido hoy al Rotary Club Estepona la entrega de material escolar para familias con dificultades económicas del municipio.

La entidad benéfica ha destinado 1.500 euros para la adquisición de libros y materiales que serán repartidos en los distintos centros educativos del municipio.

El representante del Rotary Club Estepona, Manuel Raigón, ha señalado que estudiantes de 50 familias se verán beneficiados de esta donación, que han sido seleccionados a través de la delegación de Bienestar Social y de las asociaciones de madres y padres de los distintos centros educativos.

Esta entidad, que pertenece a una red mundial y que está formada por empresarios y profesionales de distintos

sectores, fue creada en la localidad el 25 de marzo de 1995, y desde entonces viene proporcionando ayuda humanitaria e impulsando la realización de proyectos a nivel local que abordan múltiples problemas críticos de la actualidad.

Donation from the Rotary Club Estepona Councillor María Dolores Espinosa has thanked the Rotary Club Estepona for delivering school supplies to economically disadvantaged families in the municipality.

The charity has allocated 1,500 euros for the purchase of books and materials to be distributed through different schools in the municipality.

The representative of the Rotary Club Estepona, Manuel Raigón, said that students from 50 families will benefit from

this donation, which were selected by the delegation of Social Welfare and parents associations of different schools.

This club, which belongs to a worldwide network comprised of entrepreneurs and professionals from different sectors, was established in the town on March 25, 1995, and since then has been providing humanitarian assistance and promoting the implementation of projects at a local level that address today’s critical issues.

New Estepona Sculptures The Mayor of Estepona, José María García Urbano, has inaugurated another two pieces of art by renowned sculptor Santiago de Santiago, who attended the event. “Love saves” and “Miracles”, both in bronze and over a metre in height, located in the Blas Infante and Cañada squares, respectively.

New locations are being considered for other pieces by the sculptor following cultural and beautification plans for the area, joining the collection other sculptures

throughout the area by the same sculptor as well as pieces by Toby Govan, Francisco Alarcón and Joaquin Aguilera.

Santiago Santiago is one of the most important Spanish sculptors of the late twentieth century. He has made busts of several members of the Spanish royal family and other important figures. Some of his creations are exhibited in public parks in Japan, Russia, Mexico and Denmark, among other countries.

Nuevo Museo Arqueológico de Estepona El nuevo Museo Arqueológico Municipal, que estará ubicado en la antigua Casa Consistorial, abrirá sus puertas antes de final de año. La obra civil ya está terminada, las excavaciones interiores también, y ahora está en la fase de preparación del material que se va a exponer, selección del personal, limpieza y preparación de los textos que llevan las vitrinas.

En el nuevo recinto se expondrán algunas piezas arqueológicas que antes estaban en el Museo Municipal de la Plaza de Toros, pero la colección será mucho más amplia, ya que había fondos que estaban guardados y que se están rescatando. Además todo el entorno del

antiguo Ayuntamiento se está poniendo a punto para poner en valor el Museo.

El Museo contendrá cuatro salas expositivas que estarán dedicadas a periodos históricos distintos. La primera de ellas se centrará en restos y piezas de la prehistoria y la época fenicia, la segunda mostrará objetos de época romana, la tercera estará dedicada a los restos correspondientes al periodo del Alto Medieval, mientras que la cuarta sala se dedicará a piezas de la época del esplendor musulmán. En el centro de la antigua Casa Consistorial se acondicionará un antiguo aljibe para exponerlo en el Museo.

New Archaeological Museum in Estepona The new Municipal Archaeological Museum, located in the former Town Hall, will open before the end of the year. The building work is finished, as are the interior excavations, with only the preparation of the material that will be on exhibition, staff selection, cleaning and preparation of information about each exhibition left to finish.

Some archaeological pieces that were formerly in the Municipal Museum of the Plaza de Toros will be on show, but the collection is much larger, as there were pieces that were saved and are now being rescued and restored. Also, everything

around the old Town Hall is being improved aesthetically to better showcase the museum.

The museum contains four exhibition rooms which will be dedicated to different historical periods. The first one will focus on remains and pieces of prehistory and the Phoenician era, the second will display objects from Roman times, the third will be showing remains from the High Medieval period, while the fourth room is devoted to pieces of splendor from the Muslim era. In the center of the old town hall there will be an old well restored for visitors to see.

CLINICA QUIROPRÁCTICA EN ESTEPONA

La quiropráctica busca el óptimo funcionamiento del sistema nervioso La quiropráctica es la profesión sanitaria que se dedica al diagnóstico, tratamiento y rehabilitación de los problemas mecánicos de la columna vertebral y de las influencias que esos problemas tienen en el sistema nervioso y en la salud en general. El sistema nervioso es el órgano maestro del ser humano, a través del cual se controla todo el cuerpo. Este control se ejerce desde el cerebro, pasa por la médula espinal y los nervios periféricos, que salen desde las vértebras hacia todos los órganos.

Todas las órdenes que manda el cerebro viajan por la médula espinal y los nervios periféricos hacia todo el cuerpo y hacen que los distintos órganos, glándulas y tejidos funcionen correctamente. Al revés, todos los mensajes que nos vienen del exterior penetran por los sentidos y llegan, a través de la medula espinal, al cerebro.

Esa constante ida y vuelta se reproduce millones y millones de veces por minuto.

Si una vértebra está en una mala posición, puede irritar uno de los nervios, hacer que el sistema de comunicación falle y que los mensajes del resto del cuerpo al cerebro o viceversa no lleguen como es debido.

La quiropráctica busca la localización de posibles subluxaciones vertebrales, es decir, de vértebras que no están en una buena posición, y las coloca para que cese esa disfunción del sistema nervioso.

Es un tipo de tratamiento que pretende ir más allá de los síntomas, llegar a las verdaderas causas de los problemas.

Realmente es así. Por ejemplo, el paciente puede tener una contractura muscular que le ocasione dolor y , que esté causada por un nervio que está irritado por una vértebra descolocada. Mientras no se suprima esa causa, el paciente va a volver

CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC IN ESTEPONA Chiropractic treatment searches the nervous system for optimal performance Chiropractic is the health profession that is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the mechanical problems of the spine and the influences that these problems have on the nervous system and general health. The nervous system is the orquestrator of the human body, through which it controls the body. This control is exercised from the brain, passes through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, radiating from the spine to all organs.

All orders from the brain travel through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves throughout the body and assure that the various organs, glands and tissues function properly.

Conversely, all messages that come from outside penetrate the senses and reach the brain via the spinal cord. This constant coming and going is reproduced millions of times per minute. If a vertebra is in a bad position, it can irritate a nerve, making the communication system fail and the messages from the body to the brain or vice versa do not arrive as expected. The Chiropractic seeks to identify potential vertebral subluxations, ie vertebrae that are not in the correct position, and puts an end to the dysfunction of the nervous system.

It is a treatment that aims to go beyond the symptoms, get to the root causes of problems.

It really does. For example, the patient may have a muscle spasm that causes pain and is caused by a nerve that is irritated by a dislocated vertebra. If the cause is not treated,

the patient will be in pain and will probably be taking painkillers. We will provide treatment without surgery or drugs.

You seek to harness the body, adjusting it to achieve better health without the intervention of external agents.

Exactly. The body has an inherent ability to heal, if the nervous system is free and receives and sends information properly, it works, and helps the individual to maintain a high index of health ... .. There are many things that can improve with chiropractic adjustments but mainly, patients who come to our clinic have mechanical problems of the spine, sciatica, spinal pain, low back or neck, headaches, dizziness, numbness of hands, grips, herniated discs, dizziness ... etc.

Do your patients come from a specific group of people?

The truth is no. There are patients of all ages, both sexes, professions and walks of life.

You say there are over a hundred chiropractic techniques. What are the main ones?

The main ones are those relating to adjustments of the different vertebrae.

Techniques used to adjust the vertebra in the right direction and movement required.

Nosotros les proporcionamos un tratamiento sin cirugía ni fármacos.

Tratáis de aprovechar el propio cuerpo, ajustándolo, para conseguir una mejor salud, sin intervención de agentes externos.

Exactamente. El cuerpo tiene una capacidad inherente de curar que, si el sistema nervioso está libre y recibe y manda información como es debido, funciona, y hace que el individuo mantenga un alto índice de salud…..Hay muchas cosas que pueden mejorar con ajustes quiroprácticos, aunque fundamentalmente, los pacientes que llegan a nuestra clínica presentan los problemas mecánicos de la columna vertebral: ciáticas, dolores de columna, lumbares o cervicales, dolores de cabeza, mareos, adormecimiento de manos, pinzamientos, hernias discales, vértigos…

etc. ¿Vuestros pacientes responden a un perfil muy determinado?

La verdad es que no. Hay pacientes de todas las edades, de ambos sexos y de todas las profesiones y condiciones socioeconómicas.

Hablaba de más de cien técnicas quiroprácticas. ¿Cuáles son las principales?

Las principales son las que se refieren a los ajustes de las distintas vértebras.

Son técnicas para ajustar la vértebra que se quiere justo en la dirección y con el movimiento que se quiere.

Costa Advice Bureau SPAIN, IS EVERYDAY LIVING BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE? WHY PROBATE NEED NOT BE AN EXPENSIVE LENGTHY PROCESS Lack of understanding, of the word ‘probate’ has meant (in certain cases) that heirs, confronted with a British will, have accepted that the implementing of this procedure, will be an expensive and long drawn out process, enabling them to inherit a property or assets in Spain. The usual practice is to pay for the services of a legal representative here, who would also pay the fees of a lawyer in their country of origin.

Probate simply means. ‘The validation of a will’ Looking at it in this simple way, you can start wondering why, taking a will to probate (as it is often described) is such an expensive process. The expatriate way of thinking is conditioned in believing that Spain has such complex laws, that one must employ a legal representative for the simplest of duties. Obtaining an electricity supply and telephone service.

The completion and submission of your annual tax declarations or drawing up a will. These are only a few, of the services expatriates are willing to pay in excess for. Unless residents and non residents alike can afford to take these measures, we should begin to gain knowledge of the specifics.

This will enable us to carry out numerous duties, for a substantially reduced fee.

SPAIN’S DEFICIT INFLUENCES THE GOVERNMENT’S DECISION TO INCREASE TAXES FOR RESIDENTS Decree-Law 20/2011, dated 30 December 2011 We are being advised, that these new emergency measures, will only pertain to 2012 and 2013. Taxes are rarely lowered.

Therefore we can only presume that, the new rate will not be abolished in the coming years.

The law is to include taxes on all income.

Many residents will see an increase in payments in their annual tax declaration.

There are to be proportionate tax increases on wages. The percentage applied will be on top of the figures in use to date to calculate your taxes.

The new taxes will also apply to savings.

The more you have the higher the taxes.

The increase will be applied according to the figures below: 1. 2% increase on the benefits on savings of up to 6.000 euro 2. 4% increase on the benefits on savings of up to 24.000 euro’s 3. 6% increase on the benefits on savings of over 24.000 euro’s Is the Spanish government not aware that many expatriates may well choose to take their savings elsewhere?

WHY YOU SHOULD BANK WITH MORE THAN ONE ENTITY IN SPAIN We are all aware of the unusual practices used by many of the banks. Several account holders, were surprised to find that they were paying direct debits for services that they had not authorised.

Then there are the occasions when you make the alarming discovery that the tax authorities have taken, what can be large sums of money out of your account. When you make enquires at your branch you will probably be told that you owe annual or business taxes, car tax, rates, or other.

They are often unable to give you any details. This action is usually taken without the tax authorities or bank contacting you beforehand.

If you have a mortgage and credit cards in the same bank, I suggest you consider changing this. A bank will, and does take preference in paying a card debt before paying your monthly home loan. This has often left affected persons in arrears with the mortgage repayments. Take into account that the bank, knows it has your property as collateral for the mortgage debt.

Should you need assistance or advice on any of the above, please contact us on 952797821.

Complemento Online The Resident Plus Durante los seis años desde el lanzamiento de The Resident nos hemos esforzado para ofrecer una publicación que esté al servicio de la comunidad local y responde a sus necesidades, así como mantenernos al tanto de los acontecimientos en el mundo editorial y de comunicación.

En 2008 debido a la gran demanda de los residentes locales The Resident se convirtió en una publicación bilingüe con artículos en Inglés y Español, y en 2009 The Resident lanzó su página de Facebook, que ha demostrado ser una útil adición y ha permitido una mayor interacción con nuestros lectores.

Durante más de tres años hemos utilizado software en línea que nos permite ofrecer The Resident en la web en una forma que reproduce lo más cercanamente posible la experiencia de leer un periódico, un servicio que ha demostrado ser cada día más popular.

Con el auge del ‘smartphone’ y ‘tablets’ como el iPad, se ha hecho más práctico para nosotros producir un complemento que llene el vacío entre publicaciones, y que no está limitada por la logística de impresión y distribución.

Lanzamos The Resident Plus en 2011 y quedamos muy satisfechos con la respuesta y los comentarios de

nuestros lectores, pero la plataforma que utilizamos para organizar los artículos en línea no actuaba en el iPad de Apple como nos hubiera gustado, y como la tableta iPad es la más popular, nos pareció que lo mejor sería dejar el Resident Plus hasta el momento en que este problema fuese resuelto. Así que nos hace muy feliz poder anunciar que ha llegado el momento, por lo que desde principios de noviembre podrás acceder a The Resident Plus através de nuestro sitio web www.theresident.eu Asegúrate de no perderte las próximas ediciones registrándote en nuestra lista de suscriptores enviándonos un correo electrónico a editor@theresident.eu y te notificaremos tan pronto como esté publicada la edición.

Como todos nuestros productos, como por ejemplo el periódico The Resident y la página web Manilva Life, es un servicio gratuito apoyado por la publicidad. The Resident Plus no es una excepción, pero a diferencia de su hermano imprimido beneficia de costes de producción sustancialmente más bajos, algo que queda reflejado en los precios de sus espacios publicitarios.

Online supplement The Resident Plus In the six years since launching The Resident we have endeavoured to provide a publication that serves the local community and responds to its needs as well as staying abreast of developments in

the publishing and communications world.

In 2008 due to a strong demand from local residents The Resident became a bilingual publication with items in both English and Spanish, and in 2009 The Resident

launched its Facebook page which has proven a useful addition and enabled more interaction with ourreaders.

For over three years now we have used online software which allows us to make The Resident available on the web in a form that reproduces as close as possible the experience of reading a newspaper, a service that has proven increasingly popular.

With the rise of the smartphone, and ‘tablets’ such as the iPad, it now makes it practical for us to produce a supplement that fills the gap between publications, and which isn’t limited by the logistics of printing and distribution.

We launched The Resident Plus back in 2011 and were very pleased with the response and feedback from our readers, but the platform we use to host the online issues was not performing on the Apple iPad as we would have liked it to, and as

the iPad is the most popular tablet, we felt it best to discontinue the Resident Plus until such a time as this problem was resolved.

Well we’re glad to announce that time has arrived, so from early November you will be able to access the Resident Plus from our website www.theresident.eu To make sure that you don’t miss future issues register on our list of subscribers by emailing us at editor@theresident.eu and we’ll notify you as soon as each issue is published.

As with all our products, such as The Resident newspaper and the Manilva Life website, they are a free service supported by our advertisers. The Resident Plus is no different, but unlike its printed sibling benefits from substantially lower production costs, a fact which is reflected in its advertising rates.

Fundación Nyland Knight - ayudando a los niños de Gambia Unas vacaciones en Gambia hace alrededor de 20 años fueron el catalizador para la creación de la Fundación Nyland Knight por residente local David Harmston y su esposa Terri.

Lo que comenzó con el patrocinio de un solo niño ha crecido tanto que la fundación ofrece ahora financiación para 80 niños de edad escolar, y se ha ampliado para pagar y gestionar toda una serie de proyectos en el pueblo de Kunkujang Keita en esta pequeña parte de una África olvidada.

Gambia es un país pobre, y aunque los niños del pueblo no mueren de hambre, son tan pobres que no tienen zapatos y tienen muy poca ropa, y el sistema escolar no es libre lo que significa que muchos de los niños nunca tendrán la oportunidad de obtener una educación que les pueda liberar de las cadenas de la pobreza.

Fue este hecho el que llevó a David y Terri a participar en el coste de enviar a un niño a la escuela por tan sólo 50 euros al año, una suma que, aunque menor que el coste promedio de una ronda de golf en España, es mucho más allá de los medios de la mayoría de los aldeanos.

Durante los primeros años David y Terri patrocinaron solo a un niño, pero una conversación casual en una peluquería de Gibraltar llevó a una donación que

pudo proporcionar el patrocinio a otros nueve, y la Fundación Nyland Knight comenzó a tomar forma.

Desde aquellos primeros días una serie de personas han venido a bordo, incluyendo a Deborah Ives, muy activa y la fuerza impulsora detrás del establecimiento de una serie de eventos de recaudación de fondos, y que visita con regularidad a la aldea para entregar los artículos donados y ayudar a supervisar las compras pagadas por la caridad.

De hecho, una de las facetas importantes de la Fundación Knight Nyland es que todo el dinero que se obtiene se gasta en las necesidades de los aldeanos, con todos los gastos incurridos pagados por los propios voluntarios y organizadores.

Como se mencionó anteriormente, la Fundación ha ampliado y ahora tiene un número de proyectos en funcionamiento, incluyendo una clínica que trata cortes y contusiones o pequeñas heridas al que acuden alrededor de 600 niños al año, un programa de higiene dental, programa de prevención de malaria; ofrece pollos y cabras para promover la autosuficiencia; dirige el equipo de fútbol del pueblo, y así sucesivamente.

Aparte de los individuos, varias empresas y organizaciones de apoyo, incluyendo la Academia Mayfair que el año pasado recaudó más de 1.700 euros. El bar The Pig and Whistle en Gibraltar, junto con 888.com también son importantes contribuyentes.

La Fundación Nyland Knight tiene toda una lista de proyectos para el futuro que se pueden encontrar en su página web www.nylandknight.com y en su página de facebook www.facebook. com/groups/123783964396496 por lo que si le gustaría ayudar por qué no ponerse en contacto con ellos a través de estas páginas y averiguar cómo puedes ayudar y realmente influir en la vida de esta gente desafortunada. No olvides que cada céntimo va a ayudar a los aldeanos.

Nyland Knight Foundation - Helping the children of Gambia A holiday in The Gambia some 20 years ago was the catalyst for the establishment of the Nyland Knight Foundation by local resident David Harmston and his wife Terri.

What began with the sponsorship of a single child has grown to the extent that the foundation now provides funding for 80 schoolchildren, and has expanded to pay for and manage a whole host of projects in the village of Kunkujang Keita in this small part of a forgotten Africa.

The Gambia is a poor country, and whilst the children in the village are not starving they are so poor they have no shoes and very few clothes, and the school system is not free which means many of the children will never get the opportunity for an education that can free them from the chains of poverty.

It was this fact that prompted David and Terri to become involved as the cost of putting a child through school is just 50 euros a year, a sum which, whilst less than the average round of golf here in Spain, is way beyond the means of most of the

villagers.

For the first few years David and Terri sponsored one child, but a chance conversation in a hairdressers in Gibraltar led to a donation providing sponsorship for a further nine, and the Nyland Knight Foundation began to take shape.

Since those early days a number of people have come on board, including Deborah Ives who is extremely active and who was the driving force behind the establishing of a number of regular fundraising events, and who regularly visits the village to deliver donated items and to help oversee the purchases paid for by charity.

In fact one of the important tenets of the Nyland Knight Foundation is that all the money is spent on good works, with all expenses incurred paid for by the volunteers and organisers themselves.

As mentioned earlier the Foundation has expanded and now runs a number of projects including a cuts and bruises/ small ailments clinic which treats around 600 children a year; a dental hygiene programme; malaria prevention

programme; provides chickens and goats to promote self-sufficiency; runs the village football team; and so on.

Apart from individuals, a number of businesses and organisations provide support, including The Mayfair Academy which last year raised over 1,700 euros.

The Pig and Whistle Pub in Gibraltar along with 888.com are also major contributors.

Nyland Knight Foundation has a whole list

of projects for the future which you can find on their website www.nylandknight.com and on their facebook page www.facebook. com/groups/123783964396496 so if you would like to assist why not contact them via these sites and find out how you can help and make a real difference. Don’t forget every single penny goes to help the villagers.

BRITISH CONSULAR NETWORK IN SPAIN - Useful information Healthcare Reform: Changing with the Times A new healthcare law has been introduced changing the Spanish healthcare system away from being strictly contributionsbased. What does this mean exactly, and how will it affect you?

People who were registered as Spanish residents prior to 24th April 2012 and do not have entitlement to state healthcare paid for by the UK, (e.g. as a UK state pensioner) may now find they can register for the national health service in Spain as residents. If you think this may apply to you, then speak with your local INSS office to check your entitlement. Your local office can be found at www.segsocial.es. If you have not yet applied for your residencia in Spain, you may find that more rigorous conditions are now applied at the time of

ACASA - The National Casework Service of Age Concern España

making your application, such as providing proof of entitlement to healthcare in Spain.

If you are in receipt of a UK state pension your S1 form issued from the International Pension Centre should be sufficient to fulfil this requirement.

UK state pensioners should contact the International Pension Centre on 0044-191218-7777 to request an S1.

Those who do not have access to Spanish state-run healthcare by any other means should shortly be able to pay into a nation-wide Convenio Especial (Special Agreement). Contact your local health authority for further information, including how to register. Further information on access to healthcare in Spain can be found at http://ukinspain.fco.gov.uk/healthcare

Returning to the sun? Let the UK authorities know With two heat waves hitting Spain this summer it’s no wonder that many expat residents choose to return to the UK during July & August to escape the high temperatures. However, as the summer now draws to a close, many are beginning to return to Spain to enjoy the milder temperatures and whilst some may be intending to spend the entire winter here and others just a few weeks or months, it is important that if you receive a UK benefit and are going abroad, even for just a short time, you notify the office who pays your benefit before you go. In fact, any change in your circumstances, such as moving in with a partner or starting work, should be reported immediately to the relevant authority. Spending time out of the UK, whether it be for a holiday or

to live, doesn’t necessarily mean your benefits will be affected but not notifying your local benefit office of time spent abroad is considered to be an offence and could lead to prosecution, imprisonment and even the confiscation of your home and possessions. More information on UK benefits in general and on which ones can and cannot be received whilst living in Spain can be found on www.direct.gov. uk. If you know of someone committing UK benefit fraud whilst living in Spain, you can call the free and confidential Benefit Fraud Hotline in Spain on 900 554 440 or fill in the online form available at www. dwp.gov.uk/benefit-thieves-spain and help UK investigators close the net on benefit thieves.

Why do you ask so many questions?

‘Why do you ask so many questions?’ is often asked of our volunteer Caseworkers when they visit clients who are seeking financial assistance from a UK charity to help them over a rough patch in their lives.

The answer might seem simple but unless the Caseworker can ‘paint’ a complete picture of a person’s life for the ACASA Almonisation Officer, the chances are that the client will not receive the maximum benefit from resources, which are available to him or her both from the UK and Spain.

There are more than 180,000 charities registered in the UK. This might be a large number for readers to absorb and

admittedly the aims of many charities do not fit the bill, but the Almonisation Officer works with the information provided to fit a client to a charity or charities. There are, for example, charities for those born in a specific town, those of a particular faith, those with a military background, etc.

In addition, most professions or trades have their own charity or guild, some large companies have a charitable fund for ex-employees, as do schools or seats of learning.

The possibilities are many so please be tolerant when we ask so many questions and be appreciative of the Almonisation Officer who has spent many years developing her skills in this area.

In addition to the Almonisation Officer’s skills, the President of ACASA meets on an annual basis with a number of the charities, which make regular grants to British expatriates living in Spain. These meetings which started in 1995, are aimed at an exchange of ideas and give the President an opportunity to explain in detail the difficulties faced by the expatriate community in Spain particularly in these difficult economic times.

By the time this newsletter is circulated, the meeting for 2012 will have taken place and significant matters, which affect every one of us in the British expatriate community, will be reported in the next newsletter.

El Veterinario - El aumento de los parásitos alimentarios Los malos hábitos de higiene y alimentación son el principal factor del incremento de infestaciones provocadas por parásitos Los parásitos son microorganismos presentes en los alimentos y en el agua de consumo, con capacidad para provocar enfermedades en los humanos. Su tamaño es variable, desde organismos no visibles para el ojo humano hasta gusanos visibles a simple vista. Los parásitos se alimentan de los nutrientes presentes en los alimentos y en el agua y la mayoría proceden de las heces de los animales que, a través de las manos, utensilios, insectos y agua contaminada, llegan a los alimentos.

La clave para evitarlos es, por tanto, una buena prevención con una correcta higiene. Sin embargo, los especialistas del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS) advierten de que las enfermedades parasitarias transmitidas por alimentos podrían incrementarse debido a una falta de medidas preventivas.

Los principales motivos de la transmisión de parásitos son la falta de higiene, el consumo de frutas y verduras lavadas de forma inadecuada, una escasa cocción de la carne o el pescado y el consumo de agua contaminada. Aunque parece una infestación poco frecuente, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima que las patologías parasitarias afectan a las de un 10% de la población mundial. Las más comunes son las infestaciones por Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spiralis, Taenia saginata (gusano de la carne de res) y Taenia solium (gusano de la carne de cerdo).

Los malos hábitos de higiene y alimentación son el principal factor del incremento de este tipo de infestaciones, según María Beltrán, coordinadora del Laboratorio de Enteroparásitos del INS. Una parasitosis comporta pérdida de

nutrientes de gran importancia, como el hierro, ya que el parásito se alimenta de la sangre y se queda con los principales nutrientes del organismo. Los síntomas de una infestación parasitaria suelen ser: diarreas, cansancio, anemia, pérdida de peso y malestar general.

Parásitos Más Comunes: Según los expertos, cada vez son más frecuentes los parásitos emergentes, es decir, nuevas enfermedades causadas por parásitos que no se localizan solo en países en desarrollo, sino también en países desarrollados, debido a la migración de personas, alimentos y animales. El riesgo de contaminación parasitaria es, por lo tanto, frecuente.

Además, según los últimos informes científicos, las parasitosis más habituales se vuelven más frecuentes.

Destacan: Giarda duodenalis, causante de giardiasis, es un organismo unicelular que vive en los intestinos de las personas y los animales.

Está omnipresente en todo el mundo y es uno de los principales causantes de infección parasitaria. Está asociado al consumo de agua contaminada y al de carne cruda infectada con el parásito, así como al contacto de superficies contaminadas con heces de animales o personas y que, a través de las manos, llegan a la boca.

Cryptosporidium parvum, causante de cryptoporidiosis, es un parásito unicelular y una de las mayores causas de enfermedades transmitidas por agua en todo el mundo. Se halla en los intestinos de una gran variedad de animales, como vacas, ovejas o cabras. Esta infestación puede ser intestinal, pero también puede afectar a la tráquea y al pulmón. Este parásito se encuentra en los suelos, en

alimentos, en el agua y en superficies contaminadas con heces infestadas.

Toxoplasma gondii, causante de toxoplasmosis, es un parásito unicelular presente también en cualquier rincón del mundo y que supone la tercera causa de muerte por parasitosis a través de alimentos. Su contaminación se debe, sobre todo, al consumo de carne de res, cerdo, ternera o cordero poco cocinada.

También está presente en las aves, con lo que es imprescindible su correcta cocción, y los gatos pueden ser también portadores frecuentes, de manera que se ha de extremar la higiene después de manipularlos.

Trichinella spiralis, causante de triquinosis, es un gusano intestinal de forma redonda.

El principal causante es el consumo de carne cruda de cerdo, jabalí salvaje, osos, pumas, lobos, caballos o zorros. Estos parásitos no se transmiten de persona a persona.

Taenia saginata y Taenia solium: la primera es la conocida como gusano plano de la carne de res y la segunda, como gusano plano de la carne de cerdo.

Esta infección es más habitual en países subdesarrollados, donde las prácticas

higiénicas son escasas. Sin embargo, es posible en cualquier parte del mundo, debido al consumo de carne contaminada cruda o poco cocinada.

PREVENIR PARASITOSIS

La prevención de las parasitosis pasa por: Lavado de manos adecuado, con agua caliente y jabón. Siempre antes y después de manipular alimentos, ir al baño, cambiar pañales o tocar mascotas.

Consumir aguas tratadas.

Evitar tragar agua si se nada en ríos o pantanos.

Cocinar los alimentos hasta alcanzar una temperatura interna en el centro de la pieza de unos 70ºC. Lavar las frutas y hortalizas antes de su consumo.

Mantener limpias las superficies de manipulación de alimentos.

Regularmente desparasitar a sus perros, gatos, caballos u otros animales que pueda tener.

Vet’s Corner - Parasites found in our food are on the rise Bad habits and food hygiene; the main factors causing the increase of these infestations

Parasites are organisms which may be found in food and drinking water, with ability to cause disease in animals including us. Their sizes vary, from microscopic organisms to worms visible to the naked eye. The parasites feed on the nutrients in food and water, and most come from the feces of animals through contact with our hands and utensils, they are also passed on by insects and contaminated water, thus getting into our food. The object is to minimize and/or avoid direct contact, therefore the key to prevention is proper hygiene. However, the specialists of the National Institute of Health (NIH) warn that food borne parasitic diseases could increase due to a lack of preventive measures.

The main reasons for the transmission of parasites are poor hygiene, consumption of fruits and vegetables improperly washed, inadequate cooking of meat or fish and the

consumption of contaminated water, even if parasitic diseases are a relatively rare occurrence, the numbers are cause for alarm as they are on the rise. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that parasitic diseases affect 10% of the world’s population.

The most common infestations are caused by Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spiralis, Taenia saginata (beef worm) and Taenia solium (pork worm).

Poor hygienic measures and eating habits are the main factors in the increase of such infestations, according to Maria Beltran, coordinator of the Laboratory of Intestinal Parasites INS. A parasitic infestation decreases the presence of very important nutrients, such as iron, because the parasite feeds on the blood and competes with the body for key nutrients. The most frequent

symptoms of a parasitic infestation are: usually diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, weight loss and general malaise.

Most Common Parasites According to experts more and more parasitic conditions are emerging, i.e. new diseases caused by parasites, that are not only found in the developing countries but they are also being reported in developed countries, due to the migration of people, food and animals.

The parasitic contamination risk is therefore becoming an all too common occurrence.

Moreover, according to recent scientific reports, the most commonly known parasites are likewise becoming more frequent.

The most common culprits include: Giardia duodenalis, which causes giardiasis, it is a single-celled organism that lives in the intestines of people and animals. It is pervasive throughout the world and is a leading cause of parasitic infestation.

It is associated with the consumption of contaminated water and raw meat containing the parasite, and by the contact with surfaces contaminated by animal (people included) faeces and via the hands, reach the mouth.

Cryptosporidium parvum, which causes cryptoporidiosis, is a single-celled parasite and a major cause of water-borne diseases worldwide. It is found in the intestines of a variety of animals, such as cows, sheep or goats. This can be intestinal infestation, but can also affect the trachea and lungs. This parasite is found in soil, food, water and surfaces contaminated with infested faeces.

Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis, is a unicellular parasite is also present in every corner of the world and is the

third leading cause of death from parasitic diseases through food. Their contamination is due mainly to the consumption of undercooked poultry/fowl, beef, pork, veal or lamb. Cats are also common carriers, so to be extreme careful after handling strange or untreated cats.

Trichinella spiralis, which causes trichinosis, is an intestinal round worm. The main cause is the consumption of raw pork, wild boar, bears, cougars, wolves, horses and foxes.

Taenia saginata and Taenia solium: the first is known as the beef tapeworm and the second as the pork tapeworm. These infestations are more common in underdeveloped countries where sanitation practices are poor, however, they are possible anywhere in the world, due to the consumption of contaminated raw or undercooked meat.

How To Prevent Parasitosis

Prevention Involves: Proper hand washing with soap and hot water, always before and after handling food, using the bathroom, changing nappies, or handling pets.

Using treated water.

Avoid swallowing water when swimming in rivers or ponds.

Cooking food until an internal temperature in the center of the piece of about 70 °C. Wash fruits and vegetables before consumption.

Keep surfaces clean food handling Regularly deworm your dogs, cats, horses or other animals you may have.

Oigo tu voz, arcana, siembra cielos.

Eres la hurí, y yo esparzo mi corazón por los pasillos de tu templo.

Siento tus manos, tus labios que prenden del sol cálidos besos, estanque florido de agua o espejo quedo.

Por el amor que siento poseo la fuerza para detener al viento.

Qué chorro de albor desde tus ojos para ese baile en la sangre del crepúsculo,

auguro sobre ellos nacimientos de amor nuevo.

Siento tus brazos cual movimiento de las ramas acarician y dan sombra. ¡Oh, cómo te amo!

Oigo tu voz, tu voz, dulce secreto del viento feliz acariciando mi cuerpo, la estabilidad en otro verbo aislado: en la ladera musitada del silencio.

Me encierro en ti

Es por ti Siento que mis manos desaparecen como tales, es decir, que no existen al tocarte, se vuelven alas entre las fibras de tu cuerpo, y ¿sabes?, es por ti que me destierro al bosque, a los inseguros leños de la noche de quejigos y manzanos salvajes.

Encuentro el amor, y me doy cuenta, después de tanto buscar, que sólo en él se encuentra lo incomparable.

Mi cuerpo rebosa cuando te pienso, y corro como un niño: la vida cayéndome en precipicios a una velocidad de sangre, más no quiero incidir en honduras, y ¿sabes?, el otoño, coyunda de esferas entre nubes y agua, invita a los astros redondos del cielo.

Es por ti por lo que vivo, por lo que consigo detener la rabia de las huellas, y mis llagas se restablecen, y ¿sabes?, es por ti por lo que desaparezco y vuelvo de la nada, de ese contoneo de la ola delgada que nuestra noche hace marcar en la arena, así sé que mi materia puede corresponder con otra alma, y en el roce de tu piel cabriola, no quiero entender que el amor es fuga cuando es por ti que un eclipse se detiene en mi mirada.

27

El mundo brilla en tus ojos, y en este mundo, no quiero el celo opaco, llaga que difumine mi alma.

Juego en los brazos de la orilla.

Al caer las olas mi corazón se baña con tus aguas.

Te amo también en el alba de los bosques, criaturas enredadas en telarañas de brisa espían mi sombra por las ramas hasta encontrar tus árboles.

Un lejano amarillo de flores en crepúsculo se convierte.

La inteligencia quiere sembrarse en la pureza de los tulipanes silvestres.

Por el bosque pasea el mar de nuestros sueños.

A Healthier Life with JoJo France and Claudia Norris The Burpee Challenge Friday 14 September was a BIG day for a group of 20 people from Sotogrande. We had set ourselves a massive challenge by attempting to enter The Guinness Book of Records by performing 600 burpees EACH within one hour.We wanted to do this to prove to ourselves that anyone from any walk of life, at any fitness level can do something that looks impossible. We also wanted to raise money for the Patricia D’Arch Leukaemia Foundation, We thought our onr hour of suffering would be nothing compared to the pain and suffering of a child who is sick with cancer.

The group were aged 8-66, all at very different levels of fitness, some of the volunteers had turned up for training religiously for the three months prior to the event, others like a group of Americans here for a visit just decided to do it on the day. It didn’t seem to matter, once we had done the first 100 as a warm up, everyone started to feel the pain and I know many of the spectators were beginning to question whether it was possible.

Our bodies went through many emotions during the challenge: before the challenge was anxiety and nerves, many people suffered diarhoea and sleepless nights, we had already given ourselves blisters during the training sessions, so our hands were tender, some people’s backs were very tight and others lacked conviction that they could do it. During the event something amazing happened, it was as if our group of people suddenly found strength from each other and when one of us was struggling the others seemed to feel it, we pulled together and pushed through the pain, the tiredness and all the other feelings we were experiencing seemed to lesson, and when we counted down that we only had 16 minutes to go everyone found a new lease of energy. Watching the footage afterwards you can see everyone’s attitude change, the audience really helped pull us through too, the last 100 burpees seemed easier than the first 100.

BUT WE DID IT - our goal was to achieve 10,800 burpees within the hour but we managed 13,075, everyone did the minimum of 615 (including an eight year old boy) and one guy achieved 686! That was truly amazing.

The endorphin high after the event was indescribable. We had tons of energy, some went on to party afterwards, some needed a strong drink, others just quietly observed what they had achieved, but it felt amazing and lasted for 2-3 days afterwards. Unfortunately when the initial high wore off most of us had an emotional crash which is very common after such highs, we experienced extreme tiredness, feelings of lethargy, severe aches and pains, some even felt depressed...but again it only lasted a few days and then our lives did return to normal, most of us missed the training and were looking for the next adventure.

As a group, we had an amazing experience, one that will stay with us for a long time, we also managed to raise 9,576 euros for the Patricia D’Arch Foundation.

We will do another sporting challenge next year, so if you are thinking of getting fit, or would like some advice on training or challenging yourself please get in touch: 687 030 047 or email: jojofrance_69@hotmail.com Friday 14 September was a BIG day for a group of 20 people from Sotogrande.

and rice.

On the day: All day: Think hydration. Make sure you are properly hydrated before you start the event. Aim to have drunk at least 8 glasses of water during the day before the event.

4hrs before: Eat a proper meal eg. chicken with veggies and rice, fish with salad and rice. The carbs are important to fill up the glycogen stores in the muscles.

As a group, we had an amazing experience, one that will stay with us for a long time, we also managed to raise 9,576 euros for the Patricia D’Arch Foundation.

The Nutrition Plan Here’s the nutrition plan I gave the burpee challengers.

It’s a useful protocol to follow before any tournament or competition to make sure you are at your peak performance and shorten recovery time. If your event starts in the morning, you don’t need to get up 4 hours earlier!

Instead, make sure you have good levels of carbs the evening before such as spaghetti bolognese or chicken

1 hr before: Eat some watermelon or sweet juicy fruit. This will provide fructose for energy as well as being very hydrating. Make sure you are hydrated.

During: Our burpee challengers drank Kangen Water. It’s the only drink that RiverDance dancers drink when rehearsing or performing because it doesn’t bloat you or make you nauseous and as it is highly oxygenated it aids performance. If you don’t have Kangen Water add a pinch of sugar and salt to your water to sip through the event to keep hydrated and electrolyte levels balanced.

After: Eat good quality protein (meat, fish, lentils) to speed up recovery of muscles. Drink water to rehydrate.

Informacón Information

How to obtain your medical card in Andalucia

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.

If you don’t have your card yet this is what you need to do to obtain one for you and your family.

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)

In order to obtain your medical card you have to fill in the application form (one per card) and submit it in your local health center. Along with the form you need to present originals and copies of: Passport and Residencia Certificate of Social Security Contributor.

Certificate of Benefitiaries Passport and Residencia of Beneficiaries.The “libro de familia” will do for beneficiaries under 14.

Make sure you provide a valid address.

The card can take up to a year to arrive. In the mean time you can use the slip they give you.
