Approval for ‘death walkway’ repairs

ANTEQUERA council has approved its part of the plans for the restoration of the notorious ‘Caminito del Rey,’ known as the ‘death walkway.’

The Junta de Andalucia and Malaga Provincial Government will carry out the project to restore the ‘Caminito del Rey’ in El Chorro, Alora.

A spokesman for the council said the work on what could become a major tourist attraction should go ahead as soon as possible. Plans also depend on approval from Alora and Ardales councils.

The project will be carried out in phases,

the first of which is due to be assigned this year, started in 2014, and finished within another year.

The first phase to repair the 1.2kilometre walkway is due to cost €3 million.

The walkway will be made of wood, not concrete like the original.

The Caminito del Rey has become known throughout the world for its extreme danger, and although it has been closed to the public for years, many climbers continue to risk their lives. Construction of the Caminito finished in 1905 and it was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII.

The plot where they were told to work in order to avoid fines for being close to businesses, schools or residential areas has been closed off and they have returned to the streets of the Guadalhorce Industrial Estate.

The Secretary of the Spanish Women, Transsexual and

Transvestite Sex Workers in Spain Association has said the plot wasn’t ideal, as it didn’t have trees for shade, places to sit or lighting, but at least they could avoid fines there.

Now, they have been told by the Junta de Andalucia that entry is banned because people have been dumping rubbish in the area.

They are looking for other locations which they will suggest

to the city hall, including the fairground.

However, the solution they would find ideal is to have an enclosed area which clients would pay to enter, so there would be better hygiene and more safety.

Local Police in Malaga City have fined almost 660 women for street prostitution so far this year, which is more than in the whole of 2012.

Rice attraction!

Iconic paellas will draw the festival crowds

S

PANIARDS are so proud of their nationally grown rice they hold a whole festival to honour it.

The Sueca Fiesta de Arroz, or Rice Festival, is one of the biggest events in Valencia.

There will be fireworks, live entertainment, dancing and parades, but star of the show will be the iconic paella.

Like the visitors, of which there will be thousands, the ingredients for the many paellas that will be cooked at Sunday’s 53rd International Paella Competition, come from all over the world.

With just one special exception.

The rice must be grown in the Valencian region of La Albufera.

It is a serious business with a first prize of €2,500 and strict controls on ingredients enshrined in competition rules.

Since the 18th century the main rice-growing area has been a freshwater lagoon and estuary on the Gulf of Valencia coast covering 52,000 acres in the Albufera Natural Park.

Sueca is known as the ‘rice city’ of Spain and September is

dedicated to the grain, which is the base of the local economy.

The town, population 30,000, is in the north of the Costa Blanca and as part of its Rice Festival organises talks, workshops, tastings and art exhibitions dedicated to the product.

SERIOUS BUSINESS: First prize in the International Paella Competition is €2,500.

POSITIVELY PINK is hosting its annual Charity Ball on October 10 at El Oceano Beach Hotel , La Cala de Mijas MILLIONS of people around the world and thousands on the Costa have been touched by the blight of cancer.

People run a one in three chance that their lives will be touched by the feared disease.

Whether they have fought - and many have won - the disease themselves or a much-loved family member or close friend has had to deal with it.

Once touched by the disease life is never the same for people involved, but often in a very positive way.

One thing that happens to many people who have had cancer darken their lives, but who have come out the other side, is an urge to help others.

To help shine a light and give hope to cancer-stricken patients.

To support people and their families through some of the darkest days of their lives.

And to help prevent people developing the disease, or at least catch it early enough for effective treatment.

Of course not everyone can be saved from the terrible disease, but much can be done.

And much is being done by ordinary people whose lives have been touched. Or at least they may view themselves as ordinary, but they do extraordinary things to help.

The Costa’s Positively Pink charity is one of those extraordinary things.

It is offering huge amounts of help and support, first to women, but now to men as well in the fight against cancer.

It is drawing support from the expatriate community - once again showing the generosity of spirit of the people on the Costa.

This year it is holding its annual Charity Ball at El Oceano Beach Hotel, La Cala de Mijas on October 10, sponsored by the Euro Weekly News.

Positively Pink is a charity dedicated to helping women suffering from breast cancer through all the stages, from screening to test results and aftercare. And it has set up Positvely Blue to help men with prostate cancer in a similar way.

The charity hosts many events in order to raise money and help those suffering from cancer. These have included sky- diving, go-karting, auctions and much more, but the biggest event of the year

The charity was set up seven years ago by like-minded, caring and passionate people who had been touched in some way by cancer, whether personally, or through family or friends. It goes to extraordinary lengths to help women in need. Suzanne Couling, who became heavily involved after her own successful battle against cancer, explained: “We have a translation service to help women understand the results from the screening and any treatment process.

We stay in touch throughout the process and even afterwards. We do what we can to help women going through a really tough time, even in the small things like providing a series of wigs to women undergoing chemotherapy or just being someone to talk to.”

The auctioneer for the event is radio presenter and larger-than-life character Nigel Goldman, who said: “The more money we can raise for the charity at auction the more people we can help.”

Previous prizes for the event have included a weekend stay in a hotel, a meal for two at a top restaurant and ownership of a racehorse for a year.

Neighbours report ‘strange visitors’ NEIGHBOURS of an elderly couple attacked in their home in Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, had alerted social workers of ‘strange visits.’

A man, 86, died after being stabbed seven times.

His disabled wife, 79, was beaten and stabbed and remains in hospital in intensive care.

They were visited by social workers every day and neighbours had reported seeing people entering their home at night and in the early hours of the morning.

They believe the elderly couple may have been letting people sleep in the house in exchange for help, as both were infirm and the woman was unable to move on her own.

The main entrance was blocked by a sofa, and neighbours say people came and went via the back door.

They do not believe the motive was a robbery, as the couple reportedly had no items of any value.

‘Three Kings’ death case has been finally closed

MALAGA Provincial Court has definitively shelved the case regarding the death of a child at the ‘Three Kings’ parade in Malaga this year.

The six-year-old was run over and killed by a float.

Children gathered for the traditional event were told to turn away as his father, a forensic doctor, gave him mouth to mouth respiration, while the boy’s mother and sister looked on.

Emergency workers rushed the victim to hospital, but it was too late.

Horrified witnesses said that the boy had,

together with two other children, crawled under a truck from which sweets were being thrown.

Civil Protection volunteers and local police managed to pull two children to safety, but were too late to save the six-year-old who was crushed as the float moved on. The tragedy happened as the procession was moving through the central Plaza del General Torrijos square.

The case had already been ruled a tragic accident, but the public prosecution and private

accusation had appealed and requested a further investigation. The private accusation wanted to bring criminal charges against the driver and against the people in charge of the organisation and security of the event.

The court has ruled there is no indication a crime was committed and the decision cannot be appealed against.

Earlier this year, the boy’s mother was found dead in their home. She is believed to have been suffering from depression following her son’s death.

€10,000 ‘thank you’ for locals from Congolese president RESIDENTS in Carratraca, Malaga, have received €10,000 from Congolese President, Denis Sassou Nguesso, who spent four days on holiday there this summer.

The Spanish press reports that he gave an envelope with the money to an 84-year-old local resident to whom he had not spoken before then.

He told the man to distribute the money

amongst the local residents. The man went to the town hall to find out how much money should be given to each of its less than 900 residents, getting a result of €12.

He then put a table outside his home, and put up notices to let locals know when and where they could get their share of this ‘thank you’ gift from the President.

Some plan to use it to pay their daily expenses and others will donate it to charity.

Drugs were found in a fridge, dryer, TV, cushions and other furniture.

The drugs were received at the property which was searched and packaged, then hidden in furniture and other items in which it was transported to the UK. The police seized three mobile phones, a laptop computer and a van used to carry the furniture.

Goldfinger case continues A MARBELLA court will reopen the hearing against 17 people charged in the Goldfinger corruption case.

They are charged with fraud, urban planning crimes, tax evasion, coercion and document falsification amongst other crimes and may have to pay up to €42 million in civil liability.

Those charged include former Marbella mayor, Julian Muñoz; former Marbella Urban Planning

advisor, Juan Antonio Roca; five former councillors, two lawyers, a businessman and several financial and tax advisors.

Judges have been trying to question actor Sean Connery about his involvement in the case, as well as his wife, Michelle Roquebrune. They lived in Puerto Banus from the 70’s until the late 90’s in a beachside mansion called Malibu.

The case was opened in 2007

by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, and focused on three agreements, one signed in 2000

by Julian Muñoz, and the Malibu society, which owned Connery’s villa.

The villa was demolished and replaced with a development of more than 70 apartments.

It is claimed that planning regulations stipulated that only five apartments could be built on the site.

Lawyers Diaz-Bastien & Truan, who handled Connery’s business while he lived in Spain, are said to have negotiated the reclassification of the land with the late mayor Jesus Gil and Juan Antonio Roca.

Marbella City Hall lost an estimated €2.7 million through these operations. It is estimated by the Tax Agency the whole operation produced €53 million in profits for the 20 people involved in the alleged crime network.

Police warn of effects of ‘laughing gas’ fad

THREE Britons have been arrested in Marbella for selling ‘laughing gas’ (nitrous oxide) in a bar.

The detainees are the manager of the bar and two waitresses who were caught selling balloons filled with nitrous oxide for €5 to clients. The effects of the ‘laughing gas’ they were selling lasted about three minutes.

National Police have warned of the rise in sales of nitrous oxide in leisure areas of Marbella.

Ingesting this chemical compound, which has a slightly sweet taste and smell, can have severe consequences on the nervous and pulmonary system, aggravated by alcohol consumption.

It is known as ‘laughing gas’ due to the euphoric

Police say youths find it a cheap way to ‘get a high’ and are not aware of the severe consequences it can have. It depresses the central nervous system, but the gas can cause hypoxia, as well as irritate the eyes, nose and throat, reduce blood pressure and heart-

Festival to preserve inland villages FROM today (Thursday) until Sunday, a town of just 100 inhabitants in Leon, Northern Spain, is holding an International Festival.

The organiser of the event, in Villar de Los Barrios, El Bierzo, is a local man, who after living in Madrid, California and Senegal, said he is back ‘to stay’ and to promote culture and tourism in small towns to prevent them being abandoned.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, 1,000 inland towns have disappeared in Spain in the past 15 years as their inhabitants have left them.

Nicolas de la Carrera, the organiser, said that he wants to put the town back on the map with a festival of music, art and culture, including a performance by Chilean jazz musician, Cristian Cuturrufo.

There will be exhibitions, activities for children, drawing and dancing classes, cinema and an international street market.

Malaga youths’ first time at 16 YOUTHS in Malaga lose their virginity at the age of 16 on average.

This month the central

According to the Andalucian Social Youth Report, Malaga is the province in which the fewest youths have had sexual intercourse, although more than 51 per cent of youths between 14 and 17 have had some type of sexual contact. The average age for this is just under 15.

However, the winner was not amongst the spectators, and could be anywhere, as the tickets were sold all over Spain.

At the time of going to press, the name of the winner was still not known.

The event was deemed by organisers as a huge success and they are already planning the next edition.

EL REFUGIO: Won with the tasty ‘burriton.’

Winner of the best tapa in Mijas BAR ‘El Refugio’ won the prize for the best ‘tapa’ in a local tapas route held this summer.

More than 800 people visited Mijas for the eighth edition of the Tapas Route, and 123 people voted for the ‘burriton.’

The bar owner was given a plaque by the local councillor for Tourism, Santiago Martin.

Concerns over Natural Parks law THE Council of Ministers has approved a draft of the Natural Parks law which would allow recreational activities within certain parks.

Environmentalists are concerned that this would make some of Spain’s most important protected areas into ‘theme parks.’ There are currently 15 natural parks in Spain.

The law would maintain bans on hunting, fishing, building and cutting trees, but could allow sailing in the Monfrague National Park and flight in non-motorised aircraft in Guadarrama Park.

Environmentalists are also worried that although the law bans hunting, it allows it to control the population of certain species.

Meanwhile, the law would allow the State to intervene in Natural Parks in the event of a catastrophe or extreme situation such as a fire, and would also allow the possibility of parks being expanded.

The aim was to build a sports complex and academy in the Arraijanal area of Malaga at an estimated cost of €18.6 million.

He said one possibility that may help to get resources is to open it for teams from north and eastern Europe, where winters are colder for training.

Trace fossils found RESEARCHERS from the University of Zaragoza and the Autonomous University of Barcelona have found Europe’s most modern dinosaur trace fossils.

The trace fossils were found in river areas next to different towns in the Aragonese and Catalan Pyrenees and represent a milestone as they are only found in specific parts of the world.

Trace fossils can include footprints, burrows and coprolites (droppings) rather than actual bones of animals Scientists say this find proves that dinosaurs inhabited Europe until shortly before their extinction.

Trace fossils are irrefutable proof of the existence of dinosaurs.

Daughter forced into prostitution A FATHER and his elder daughter have been arrested in Manacor (Mallorca) for allegedly forcing a younger daughter into prostitution.

Officers of the Manacor Local Police found the victim hidden in a neighbour’s house after she had a heated argument with her family, sources said.

There she told the officers she had allegedly been forced into prostitution for months by her father and sister, aged 40 and 20 respectively.

According to police, the victim’s father was made an offer in May 2012 to travel

with his daughter to Madrid, Barcelona and Milan to engage her into prostitution.

Since then, he and his elder daughter threatened and forced the victim into prostitution in order to contribute to the household economy, police added.

The arrested have been brought before a court charged with alleged illtreatment and forcing someone into prostitution.

Meanwhile, the victim has been put under the protection of the Manacor Minor’s Prosecutor Office.

KEIRA: The five year old has been making great progress.

Keira needs help

By Dilip Kuner THE mother of a girl with cerebral palsy faces a race against time to raise funds for urgent therapy after a disappointing turnout at a fundraising event.

Five-year-old Keira, who lives in Finestrat, has been making great progress in a bid to lead as normal a life as possible since starting therapy sessions, which are not available on the Spanish NHS. But she needs €2,500 to help pay for the next tranche of intensive therapy due to start on November 4.

Her mother, British-born Debbie, said of Keira: “She has come a long way. People cannot believe how much better she is. That is the thing about the therapy, it really does work. It is not as if we just want to try something in case it might work, it really is making a difference.”

Keira had an operation on her legs on May 14, and Debbie had planned the therapy sessions for November as it will be six months into her recovery and the optimum time for the ongoing treatment.

She had been pinning her hopes on a fundraising event organised by Finestrat Council, with funds to be shared with Emaus.

Selling back part of the stake to Starbucks Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) “reinforces financial stability and accelerates transformation plans,” claimed Vips CEO Enrique Francia.

The transaction will not influence Starbucks’ dayto-day operations in Spain, as Vips retains a 51 per cent holding in the firm. Neither will it affect Starbucks Portugal, which remains in the hands of the Spanish group.

And it seems that women are shy to bring such items back to get a refund, too. Half of those surveyed admitted to never taking (unused) items back, with the majority claiming they didn’t think they would be allowed to return them.

Ladies, it’s time to take a long, hard look in a well-lit mirror.

Decide what colour make-up suits your skin tone and don’t get sidetracked by colourful advertising that makes someone else look fantastic!

BUSINESS EXTRA

Car sales down CAR sales of 38,872 last month were 18.3 per cent lower than in August 2012.

The government’s PIVE subsidy scheme will boost purchases in the autumn, predicted manufacturers’ association Anfac.

Contraband cigs ELEVEN per cent of cigarettes sold in Spain last year were contraband. In some parts of Andalucia this reached 30 per cent owing to tobacco smuggled across the border from Gibraltar.

Jobs going NATIONALISED Bankia is closing 259 of its branches in Cataluña. Up to 809 employees will be made redundant, although only 128 have so far accepted Bankia’s terms.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE A FLURRY of positive economic data from the UK has augured well for the British Pound, making it the best performer in August amongst the major currencies.

Confidence is on a high in Britain as the economic recovery gathers pace.

Ever since Bank of England Governor Mark Carney unveiled his ‘forward guidance’ policy, tying up any movement in interest rates to stable figures emanating from the 7 per cent targeted employment rate which they expect to materialise by late 2016, markets have responded positively to better manufacturing and construction reports.

With consumer confidence also on a high, it comes as no surprise that Sterling has rallied against the Euro breaching the 1.18 level early this month coupled with the best ever manufacturing figure release for 16 months at 57.2.

The road ahead looks pretty steady for the Pound with business activity and factory orders also on the uptick.

Although Sterling has had a

bullish run against the US Dollar and the Euro, movements were not as drastic as one would have expected.

There is a key element to this; given the fact that developments in Syria have taken a turn for the worse, most investors tend to flock towards more stable ‘safe haven’ currencies, and that is exactly what has happened with the Dollar and the Euro.

With capital inflows pouring in, it is likely that this is rendered purely a function of near-term economic upswing for the European continent. This would

BULLISH RUN: Sterling has rallied against the Euro. indicate that the Euro will continue to retain some of its recent-found strength in the short term.

Psychologically, any talks for the implementation of ‘tapering’ of asset purchases (the quantitative easing programme) by the Federal Reserve should move the relatively calm markets now, indicating that the Euro may be running out of luck as it has failed to rally significantly even

when supported occasionally by better than expected economic data.

The world will watch in anticipation as Germany goes to the polls to elect a new government on September 22.

The events from this election will define how the ongoing three-year crisis in Europe would shape up, although currently stable with reports of the Eurozone emerging from

recession, it could flare up rapidly.

Europe has already eased debt burdens on bailed-out countries in the Eurozone, namely Italy, Portugal and Greece, and any further requests for bailouts and reports of non-compliance, would see a harsh stance taken by Germany’s new government and the European Central Bank.

Until then expect the Euro to continue to remain slightly weak against the Pound with major movements only showing up after the election.

With growth forecasts hiked for the UK on the emergence of an economic recovery and Europe continuing in hushed silence till the German elections, we could see GBP/EUR breach the 1.19 level briefly but the pair will get most of its decisive exaggerated move post the elections depending on the measures that the Troika will take to try and sort out the Eurozone’s predicament.

Price-fix probe into major car builders CAR manufacturers in Spain are being targeted in a price-fixing investigation.

Spain’s National Competition Commission (CNC) has launched a probe that will cover most major car makers in Spain.

That includes Nissan, Renault, Toyota, Chrysler, General Motors, Fiat Group, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Honda, Kia Motors, Peugeot and Citroën, as well as Volkswagen Audi España, Seat, Urban Science and Snap-On Solutions.

At the same time another investigation will run into the distributors of Audi, Seat, Nissan, Toyota, Land Rover, Hyundai and Opel brands in Spain.

The probes have been

ON SHOW: Many manufacturers at Frankfurt Motorshow are being probed. launched after a series of inspections in July and August. The investigations will look into whether the various firms colluded and exchanged information on prices and marketing.

“The investigation of cartels is one of the CNC’s priorities,” the anti-trust authority said.

If found guilty of any malpractice, the

companies could face fines of up to 10 per cent of their annual revenue, Spanish daily El Pais reported. It quoted a Renault spokesman as saying the company did not infringe any laws.

It is not known what evidence, if any, against the manufacturers and distributors has been found to justify an investigation.

Blazing lights are a costly extravagance IN crisis-ridden Spain, my wife and I have been nightly witnesses to an extravagant and easily avoidable waste of electricity.

It is caused by the stubborn insistence of Benidorm City Hall allowing the, admittedly impressive, spectacle of the dusk-to-dawn illumination of Levante Beach’s famous Boardwalk streetlamps.

We get a bird’s-eye-view of the needless excessive cost of maintaining the hundreds, or probably thousands, of lightbulbs which illuminate this ‘Great White Way’ from dusk until sometimes 7am.

The cost of maintaining this illumination until early morning could be put to better use repairing the desperate state of Benidorm’s numerous dilapidated and hazardous sidewalks.

My wife and I have often stumbled over and witnessed injuries to other hapless pedestrians manoeuvring through this neglected ‘obstacle course’.

Having said that, Benidorm is a wonderful place for a happy retirement with its variety of good food at bargain-rate prices. The shows and entertainment are unsurpassed in the rest of Spain, as my Valencian wife and I will readily attest to.

Our criticism is intended to improve Benidorm.

Richard M McBride, Benidorm (Alicante)

No comparison I THOUGHT I had seen it all until I saw the news about some Gibraltarians (Costa del Sol Issue 1469) demanding the George Cross and comparing themselves to Malta.

Have they read about the siege of Malta? Do they know how people suffered? My wife was born in Malta in 1940. Her father was wounded as an AA gunner. People starved.

It was more than an inconvenient traffic jam. Enjoy your tax haven but never compare yourselves to a gallant country like Malta!

Where’s the harm?

CAN someone please explain to me why the police are so set on stopping ‘looky-looky’ sales of handbags, etc?

I know, and you know, these bags are just look-a-likes, and to be honest I do not care! I either like them or I don’t, and for €20 I am happy.

I would never buy the real designer handbags for hundreds of euros, so leave me to buy a bag to match every outfit, and keep the looky-lookyman with a small income.

It is better than mugging for a living!

Mary Hopkins, Torremolinos (Malaga)

Bad news THE paradise island of Mallorca is getting some very bad press regarding the sex trade on the island.

It would seem from one letter (Issue 1469) that despite numerous complaints by the legitimate traders and owners of bars on the island, who have a genuine concern for the safety and welfare of their customers, there has been little or no action on the part of the authorities.

In another letter, a British holidaymaker was attacked by a taxi driver over a matter of €5 and was hospitalised with no action being taken against the driver. As pointed out in both pieces, this could damage Mallorca’s holiday industry. Bad news always travels fast.

John Lawrence, Hondon de las Nieves (Alicante)

Time for a rest!

REST at last! My three children are back at school this week. Even they are relieved to return. Nearly three months of holidays is hard work for parents, and boring for the children.

I know the excuse for such long holidays is it is too hot for school work, but have the authorities never heard of air-conditioning?

Mrs Angela Tedds, Estepona (Malaga)

Help needed MANY expats have left Spain in the last few years. The reason for some is they reached a time when they knew they were going to have to leave their home and find a new place to live that would give them the care they might need in the future.

A group of community spirited people in Almuñecar (Granada) are working hard to address this need by looking at the possibility of reopening the Residencia Costa Tropical home for the retired.

As part of that work they are doing some research to see if there are others who feel the same way they do and want to create a space where people can be independent but never alone.

They have put a questionnaire online at www.residenciacosta tropical.com and would be grateful if readers could take a few minutes to answer some simple questions.

Helping them out with this does not commit anyone to joining them, but it will show if there is a feeling of support for this community based project.

Swiss solution I HAVE read via your excellent paper many articles on the working street girls (I do not like the term prostitutes).

Now Zurich has found the answer.

The Swiss have set up ‘garages’ where clients can retire with the street girls.

There will be medical advice and sanitary facilities on hand, and it takes them off the streets. A panic button will be provided in case of trouble. It would be a great idea if we can get this idea over to our town halls.

Double love I DID not move to Spain in search of love, Euro Weekly News (Expat love hunt, page 3, Issue 1470), but I found it!

Thirty years ago I fell in love with the country first, and my beautiful wife Francesca soon after. In both cases the love affair has continued to the present day. Thank you Spain for giving me a happy life!

Tobacco smugglers get hotline to jail EXPATRIATES with information or suspicions about tobacco smuggling and tax fraud are being asked to call a British Customs hotline with information.

The call for help follows the jailing of convicted cigarette smuggler Malcolm McGowan, who has been extradited from Spain and is now starting a four-year jail term.

The freephone number to pass on information is 900 988 922.

For people in the UK, it is 0800 595 000.

People can also email customs.hotline@hmrc. gsi.gov.uk.

There is no need to give personal details, and information that leads directly to an arrest could be

considered for a small reward.

McGowan, 61, originally from Edinburgh, was arrested at a swimming pool in Valencia on August 10 by the Guardia Civil.

He fled the UK 12 years ago after being found guilty of smuggling 28.3 million cigarettes into the country.

His crimes cost the UK around £4 million (€4.75 million) in duty and he was sentenced in his absence in December 2001.

McGowan was part of a wider conspiracy to smuggle around 56 million cigarettes into the UK between November 1999 and March 2000.

Ten other men were involved in the plot, which cost UK taxpayers £8.2 million (€9.74 million) in lost revenues.

SPAIN is about to take centre stage in the growing debate about ‘biofuels’.

The US based Pine Chemicals Association is holding an international conference in the country to discuss the implications, and at times unintended consequences, of governmental drives towards ‘green’ fuels.

Speakers at the conference will critique the logic of biofuel subsidies and the damage being done to existing bio-based industries.

They will explain the ‘unintended consequences’ of incentives that affect the components of everyday products as diverse as adhesives, inks, tyres, paints and coatings, and cholesterol-reducing food additives.

The most visible of these is where food crops, or good farmland, are used to make biofuels rather than to feed a hungry world.

Instead, governments should focus more on encouraging existing green technology to hit carbon-reduction targets, said the association.

For example, the Pine Chemicals Association highlights the way its members use waste products from the pulp and paper industries to make not just biofuels, but a whole range of products.

Only once the useful product possibilities are exhausted is the oily residue burned as a fuel.

The conference, entitled The Efficient Use of Pine Chemicals in the Emerging Bio-economy, is being held next Monday at the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos in Barcelona, Spain.

“As governments implement policies that incentivise biofuel innovation, they have frequently ignored existing bio-based industries that already are contributing to a lower carbon footprint, development of innovative technologies, and reduced use of fossil fuels,” said Charles Morris, President and CEO of the Pine Chemicals Association.

In Spain, biomass production is progressively taking a more imaginative route of using already existing natural resources rather than simply planting high oil yield crops for fuel.

Examples include using waste material from banana plantations in the Canary Islands, to the collection and processing for fuel of seaweed from Costa Blanca beaches.

Even dead trees, the victims of forest fires, have been used in the biofuel industry.

But worldwide, most biofuel is still made from crops like rapeseed or palm oil with a negative impact on food production.

Conference speakers will cite government policies that run counter to the goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions, a free market economy, and the opportunity to create a sustainable bioeconomy.

In addition to Charles Morris, speakers include Michael Carus of the novaInstitut on ‘The New Biobased Economy – Government Incentives Should Encourage the Efficient Use of Biomass’; and Kevin Moran of the American Chemistry Council providing ‘Data from a Carbon Footprint Analysis from CTO Production and Processing’.

The Burka is a travesty. This awful facial shroud actually sums up the oppressive way of life our enemies would have us adopt, if we allowed it, which we never will.

The French have already banned this unacceptable mask of misery and I was delighted to see Conservative MP Philip Hollobone

OTHERS THINK IT come out this week and state that if one of these women required a ‘face to face’ consultation, they would not be welcome unless their faces could actually be observed.

Let us be absolutely clear here.

The Burka has nothing whatsoever to do with religion. At no point does the Koran mention the female form has to be covered from top to toe,

merely that they should be attired modestly. (Call me old fashioned, but observing the way some of our ladies expose themselves these days the Koran may have a point!)

No, having lived in a Muslim country for almost eight years, I can tell you, the only reason their women are covered in this way is that some of the men are so randy and emotionally insecure; they simply can’t trust other males to keep their hands off them.

It really is as simple as that. As far as the women themselves are concerned, some comply because they are simply petrified of their chosen partners, others retain a masochistic or subservient attitude, and only a few truly enjoy the anonymity and intimidating effect this threatening emotion eraser has on those around them.

This week’s message? Ban the Burka and God bless the Proms.

Keep the Faith.

Love Leapy.

Right again CONGRATULATIONS on yet another article in the EWN that I, and I am sure 99 per cent of the population, agree with.

My friends and acquaintances all agree with Leapy about keeping out of the Syrian conflict.

Thank you once again for expressing our thoughts so clearly. Keep it up!

A tragedy

LETTERS TO LEAPY

ROYAL ALBERT HALL LONDON

Proms show those who are so proud to be gloriously British TO me one of the most wonderfully British events of the year is The Proms. The series of classical music concerts held at London’s Royal Albert Hall, sum up everything that is gloriously British.

As I looked out at the thousands who took part in this year’s final, heart bursting night, my thoughts turned to the subsequent despair and envy that must be felt by the enemies in our midst.

Misguided zealots, who actually think they can replace the British heritage and way of life with their own austere undemocratic slavery.

As I looked out across this wonderful gathering, with the flags of the Commonwealth and our nation waving proudly in the breeze and the uplifting tones of ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ ringing stridently out from 10,000 throats, I was struck by two thoughts.

One was why our Scottish partners would ever want to leave our age old alliance! And secondly the sight of thousands of joyful

REGARDING Syria. It is a tragedy what is happening there.

I have to say I disagree with a lot of what Leapy says, but this time he has it right.

Democracy has finally been heard with the UK parliament voting against military action.

STUDY IN MARBELLA: A US education without leaving Spain.

THE starting date for southern Spain’s newest university is drawing closer.

Staff have been hard at work getting ready to welcome their first intake of students to the American College Marbella, on September 23.

The ethos of the college is to prepare young adults for life in an American or Canadian university without having to leave the security of their own home.

William O’Brien, President of ‘mother college’ the American College of Dubai, explained to the EWN that the college could work as a gateway to America for many of the students.

He said: “At the age of 18 some people are ready to head off on their own, others maybe need a year or two more to mature. We can give students the option of entering the American university system without having to head off

away they might walk into a lecture hall full of 1,000 students. Here there will be class sizes of just 15.”

Generally students will be drilled in certain units to make sure their levels of English are up to standard.

That includes the preparatory Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) that has become mandatory at many English-speaking colleges and universities in America.

They also will be put through the General Education Development test.

American College Marbella ready to go! to another country half way round the world, perhaps before they are ready for it.”

He stressed that the college, depending on the future direction the students want to take, normally suggests a two year course in Marbella before heading for America or Canada. But much is up to the students themselves.

O’Brien said: “The great thing about the American system is the flexibility it has. Once students

earn credits they own them and can take them to other universities where they will be recognised.

“So our students can earn recognised credits here then transfer to the US. It makes it easier for them.”

He added that with an initial intake of just 150, students will get very personal attention. “If they headed to the US straight

That is the study of a group of five subjects that, when passed, certifies the student has earned an American or Canadian level of academic skill. It would be the equivalent of the UK’s A levels or the Bachillerato in Spain.

On top of that students are put through SAT tests to assess their readiness for college. SAT scores are one factor taken into account by universities when accepting students.

The American College Marbella can be a very cost-effective way of entering the American university system.

First semester fees are around €4,900. Students can remain at home for the first two years of their university life, thus making considerable savings on living expenses.

It is hoped once the only American university in southern Spain gets going it will boost the local economy by attracting students from abroad.

Are your tax affairs in order? finally discovers the errors.

UK TAX REFUND has rectified many Spanish tax returns, brought to us by new clients on their initial visit to our office, and have obtained tax refunds for incorrectly paid tax to the Spanish Tax Office.

This is not easy to achieve, as you can imagine, with the amount of documents that are normally required by the Spanish Tax Office. And more so when requesting a tax refund.

On the other hand, when completing the Spanish tax return, it is also important to declare correctly other forms

of income, like interest or dividends deriving from the UK. Here we have also seen a variety of errors.

The Spanish Tax Office controls are intensifying, and giving your tax affairs impeccable treatment, both in Spain and in the UK will give you reassurance and peace of mind.

The Declaration of World Wide Assets (Modelo 720), which you may have completed earlier this year, is another measure taken by the Spanish Tax Office to gain an insight into financial movements, and to ensure income tax returns are presented correctly.

Experience shows us that many clients consulting with us for the first time are paying too much tax in the UK.

FTER six years and having helped over 800 clients to put their tax affairs in order, UK TAX REFUND have been surprised by the amount of errors and mistakes found in many of the Spanish tax returns brought to us by clients coming to see us for the first time.

To begin with, it is important to differentiate between public income and private income.

FRANCISCO CAMPS, former president of the Valencian Community was allegedly up to his neck in Gurtel corruption.

The Valencian Government supposedly handed out government contracts in return for commissions and Camps was purportedly bribed with made-to-measure suits.

The case reached court but a nine-strong jury, all local residents, acquitted him by a five-to-four majority.

Camps’s name has reappeared in the Noos scandal embroiling the king’s son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin in the alleged misuse of public funds.

It could stem from a desire to see justice done. Or someone, somewhere hopes that a public already gorged on a diet of Gurtel and Barcenas will lose its appetite for the Urdangarin scandal. funding, a claim the party denies.

€100m shock of football transfer SPAIN is currently experiencing severe government cutbacks along with thousands of evictions and high levels of unemployment, whilst Real Madrid spends THE opinions amongst people the EWN talked to on the street are quite unambiguous.

Gareth Bale is not worth that amount of money and there are far better areas where the money could be spent.

• “I think it is disgusting that they can afford to pay that kind of money, especially with the situation most expats are experiencing, with illegal homes and unemployment because of the bad state of the construction industry, said George Morris, a retired lorry driver from Cantoria (Almeria).

He added: “There seems to be more poverty now in Spain with normal people helping each other out by collecting food for food banks.”

• Keith Fowler, 69, retired from Baza (Granada) said: “The Spanish are passionate

THOMAS - It’s EU money. about football and after all Real Madrid is a business, but no player is worth that kind of money. Ordinary Spanish people are probably not too happy about it.”

• Connor Cary, aged 22 from Monaghan, Ireland, agreed: “He’s overrated and I think it is stupid money, but it is hard to put a price on it.”

He has a different theory as to why the sport could involve such high sums of money:

THE other week I wrote about some silly stories proliferating at this time of year.

These have to be topped, though, by the one about the fictitious floating restaurant, Oscar’s, built in the hull of an old fishing boat amid reefs and shipwrecks in Brixham, Devon, where staff in diving gear would swim down to catch whatever fish the customer wanted.

In the three months it was up, Oscar’s managed to climb to a top ranking on TripAdvisor. And it didn’t even exist!

This TripAdvisor profile was in fact a ruse started by a disgruntled businessman. He was fed up with malicious and unmoderated reviews being posted on the website that claims to provide “unbiased hotel reviews, photos and advice for hotels and vacations.”

This follows an earlier TripAdvisor profile about a Glasgow hostel for the homeless named as one of the city’s best hotels after fake reviews. Some users even posted photos of pool and spa facilities that the hotel supposedly offers, but which don’t actually exist.

Now, even the best genuine restaurants and hotels in the world will always find some detractors, so you have to use a bit of common sense and look at a range of reviews.

Used intelligently, TripAdvisor is a very useful tool, but useless if taken at

CONNOR - Bale is overrated and not worth that amount of money.

STREET TALK “It’s publicity, it gets people’s interest.”

• Sandra Whiley, aged 65, also agrees. As a former nurse now retired on the

(average cost €27,000 each). We asked the question: Do you think given the circumstances, this money could be better spent elsewhere?

SIMONE: Spend on youth.

Orihuela Costa, (Alicante) she was shocked at figures that his transfer was the equivalent of paying 3,700 nurses for a year: “Nothing can be right about that, I know movie stars and pop stars are paid a lot also, but at the end of the day I think the football world is crazy with the amount paid to players for a few games and training each week. A lot of them are not exactly good

role models.”

• The money would be best spent anywhere other than football is another opinion.

“It’s European Union Money they’ve spent, so I think spending it on anything else would be better than spending it on football,” says Thomas Tukya, 36, from Sweden on holiday on the Costa del Sol. • Simone Harding, 38 who lives in Riviera on the Costa del Sol has a clear idea where the money could be spent. She said: “I think the money would be better spent amongst the youth and the community and setting up more support for young people and families.”

People interviewed with regard to mobile phones will feature in next week’s edition.

REVIEWS: Use TripAdvisor intelligently and be wary of first-time contributors giving excessively high or low ratings. face value. Why can’t it see, for instance, that a venue with numerous five-star reviews posted by first-time reviewers is quite likely cheating the system? Not funny really because people make spending decisions based on what they read on the site.

As I’ve written before, you have to use your own ‘idiot filters’. If there are only five-star reviews, be suspicious; similarly, if only bad ones.

In fact, I’m astonished how people write damning reviews for the slightest reason. One reviewer gave a hotel a one-star rating because, even though he wasn’t staying there and only purchased a beer, he didn’t like the barman’s ‘surly attitude’.

Another reviewer gave a restaurant a one-star slating despite not eating there because the decor ‘looked tired’.

One common gripe I do take seriously, though, is being ‘accidentally’ overcharged in restaurants for fictitious drinks, etc, by a minority (thankfully) of restaurateurs. Hmm, back to the land of make-believe I wrote about above!

further headline news when the satirical newspaper The Onion posted a false first person explanation in the name of CNN’s Managing Editor for her decision to lead with this story ahead of the rather more weighty news available.

They primarily blamed the age-old motivator of money for the decision, but in reality, are we not fed up with the horrors of the world?

We cannot run from the current state of flux, and it is probably our duty as citizens of the world to stay informed. Sure, you can lobby the government or support Amnesty International, but in the end our impact is minimal. So, until the day that ‘good news’ captures the majority of headlines, our interest in the buffered, relatively unimportant world of reality TV stars and celebrities could be the escapism that we need.

Rather than feeling guilty about buying your daily tabloid or weekly gossip magazine, just think about the money you are saving in counselling and, as you fall asleep at night, perhaps include Angelina Jolie in your little list of people to thank for a calm night’s sleep.

Colorado’s enduring links to mother ship Spain

Consider This

removed the Dominican, Franciscan and Jesuit priests from Mexico. The brotherhood of ‘Penitentes’ assumed the critical role in keeping the Hispanic traditions alive in those remote areas without clergy.

Many theorise that there is a connection between the still existent Penitentes of the San Luis Valley and the 16th century Penitentes of Spain. For example, there are many similarities in the Christmas season processions throughout the Valley and those performed in Sevilla and Granada.

Perhaps the most curious tie of the Valley’s direct relationship to Spain has been a recent medical discovery. Doctors at some the area’s medical schools have documented disproportionate levels of breast cancer within the women of the Valley.

The genetic mutation that has caused this particular type of virulent breast cancer had previously been found only in Jewish women with a European Mediterranean lineage. Yet all these new patients were Hispanic Catholics of the San Luis Valley.

These ontological hard facts have raised some interesting overtures. It is well known that during the Middle Ages, the Jews of Spain were expelled or were forced to convert (becoming ‘conversos’).

These exiles went as far as the New World and it is not hard to imagine that many ventured up the Rio Grande to the northern most outpost of the San Luis Valley. Rumours of secret Spanish Jewry have floated around the Valley for years.

Locals have long noted that the original Spanish conquistador to the Valley, Juan de Onate (1598), had ‘converso’ relatives and documented conversos in his expedition. Furthermore the Valley is home to some local customs such as sweeping the dust to the centre of the room, covering mirrors while mourning a loved one and the Friday night lighting of candles, all tied to ancient Jewish customs.

To be sure, it is not uncommon to see examples of Colonial Spanish architecture or hear Spanish being spoken while visiting the American south-west.

Yet one would be hard pressed to find a more direct link between the New World to mother ship Spain than the evidence found in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, USA. These links with the past have proven to be a successful formula for sustained Spanish life in the Valley. That, in and of itself, is a very Spanish attribute.

HE small pueblos of this valley are quintessentially Spanish; sun-baked plazas, adobe built homes with vines and fruit trees growing in grassless yards, crosses crowning church spires, desolate cemeteries, etc.

Even the names of the pueblos remain true to form: Antonito, Conejos, Guadalupe, Monte Vista, San Juan, etc.

Are we referring to a remote valley in Andalucia somewhere? In Valencia or Aragon? No, these are the names and descriptions of a remote valley an ocean apart from Spain.

This article directs your attention to the San Luis Valley in my home state of Colorado, USA. The Valley is high (2,200-2,500 metres), large, flat, desert-like surrounded on three sides by some of Colorado’s highest peaks (4,400 metres).

The headwaters of the mighty Rio Grande are born here. It is the geographical remoteness and the severe terrain that have been most instrumental in shaping the Valley’s unique connection to mother ship Spain and their Iberian roots. Consider the following.

Water in this high desert Valley - it receives less than 10 inches annually - is of paramount importance. Wells, streams, small ponds and underground aquifers do in fact exist but have proven unreliable for sustained agriculture or human usage.

Taking direct advantage of the snow run-off from the surrounding mountain ranges, a 400 year old system of ‘acequias’ (from the Spanish/Arabic ‘water-conduit’) is still active in the Valley. Borrowing directly from Spanish-Arabic engineering traditions, taking water directly from its source to farms and pueblos via ditches and gravity chutes, suggests Old World engineering rather than New World applications.

The roots of The Third Order of Saint Francis of Amiss go back 800 years in Spain. Members would practice selfflagellation, cross-carrying and other forms of physical torment as penance for their sins.

FRANCISCO CAMPS, former president of the Valencian Community was allegedly up to his neck in Gurtel corruption.

The Valencian Government supposedly handed out government contracts in return for commissions and Camps was purportedly bribed with made-to-measure suits.

The case reached court but a nine-strong jury, all local residents, acquitted him by a five-to-four majority.

Camps’s name has reappeared in the Noos scandal embroiling the king’s son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarin in the alleged misuse of public funds.

Their parliamentary immunity gives them the right to be tried in Valencia by a superior court.

As a result the Mallorca public prosecutor wants to shift the entire Urdangarin investigation to Valencia’s Upper Court of Justice.

This would remove persistent and fearless Judge Jose Castro from the case after three years.

It could stem from a desire to see justice done. Or someone, somewhere hopes that a public already gorged on a diet of Gurtel and Barcenas will lose its appetite for the Urdangarin scandal. funding, a claim the party denies.

The children who disappeared SPAIN registers some 8,000 cases of missing minors per year, but fortunately many are youngsters who after an argument with their parents run away from home for a few hours or days and when they return, their parents fail to withdraw the missing persons report.

However, throughout Spain, the police have 200 files of children who have

disappeared over the years. In many cases, it is one of the parents themselves that has taken the child as result of a custody issue and fled the country, a phenomenon which is rising due to the number of mixed marriages in Spain.

Students Aaron Aguilera, Stefan Robba and Ivan Riddell, are all currently studying at the University of Wolverhampton, undertaking a BSc (Hons) Fire and Rescue Degree Programme.

During their placement the three students covered a significant number of training modules including Breathing Apparatus, Ladders, Road Traffic Collision equipment familiarisation and maintenance, Ship

Firefighting, Pumps and Primers, Hose Management, General Station Routine maintenance tasks and Risk Visits to specific sites in Gibraltar.

As part of the degree course students have to take part in and successfully complete an operational fire fighter training module to continue into year two and three respectively.

When they have completed this module the students will have a basic knowledge of fire fighter operational duties.

These will continue until they complete the degree when their hope is to become full time fire fighters.

These vehicles will replace the present fleet and have been procured based on their low emissions and excellent fuel consumption figures.

Other secondary factors considered were the amount of rear leg space, boot space and comfort.

All five vehicles use hybrid technology, combining electric power with either diesel or petrol engines.

They are three Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300 BT Hybrid vehicles which will replace the current Lexus vehicles which are now around five years old.

Two Toyota Plug-in Prius vehicles will replace the 16-year-old Volkswagen Passats.

In addition, a spike in bookings was experienced after the run of two episodes of the popular UK TV series New Tricks, where Gibraltar was featured.

Superbreak points out that the key indicator of the success of Gibraltar is that it has jumped from the 15th to the 10th position in their list of top selling destinations and is now ahead of cities such as Prague.

Chris Hagan, Superbreak’s Head of Overseas, Transport and Ancillary Product & Contracting said: “We are again delighted to report a substantial increase in business to Gibraltar where we see our programme going from strength to strength. By working closely with the Gibraltar Tourist Board and our suppliers on the Rock we look forward to our visitor numbers increasing even further into 2014.”

Neil Costa, Minister for Tourism, Commercial Affairs, Public Transport and the Port said: “I am delighted with the news of further increases in overnight visitors to the Rock from our most important source market. We work very closely with the members of the United Kingdom Gibraltar Tourism Association in selling Gibraltar in the UK and the results are very positive.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action.

Simply being in the right place and under someoneʼs gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling.

The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better.

Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better.

In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks, it is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up.

Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found.

Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.

Several companies are developing ways to overcome possible future labour shortages in agriculture. The USA’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) already has a cherry tomato garden managed by a small team of robots equipped with vision sensors to detect ripeness.

2 Ultra high-speed tube trains

Magnetic levitation, or Maglev, trains have been in development for a while.

They work by removing the wheels and therefore remove contact friction.

Maglev trains levitate above the track, suspended by an electromagnetic field and in some studies can reach speeds of up to 4,000mph.

3 UV protection pills

A study performed at London’s King’s College looked at the way coral protects itself from UV rays through the symbiotic algae living within it. Scientists now believe that by isolating the chemical compound in algae it can be modified into an oral sunscreen to protect the skin and eyes.

4 Tooth regeneration

Scientists worldwide are currently working on how to use stem cells to produce the correct tissues and structure for regenerating teeth. Perfection of this technology could result in the potential end of tooth decay, gum disease, fillings, and root canals.

IN 1962, 20-year-old Jill receives a small inheritance that enables her to leave her dank London bedsit and set out on an adventure, horse riding through Andalucia.

Jill’s travels took place in the early 1960s when Spain was still in the grip of Franco’s dictatorship. When she had an affair with a married bullfight impresario his wife persuaded

the local nuns to petition the bishop and he pressured the Civil Governor of Malaga to expel her from the country. With two young children she was forced to leave Spain within a week and didn’t return until after Franco’s death.

Unusually, before she left Spain, Jill started training to become a bullfighter. As in other male dominated occupations

Ask the optician – children’s eye health

C

olin Evans, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Torrevieja.

Over the years working as an optometrist I have received many questions from parents regarding their children’s eye health, so this month I wanted to focus on this important issue.

Q. When should I start taking my child to the opticians?

A. We believe that children should have their first eye examination at around three years old but if you are concerned, don’t wait until then. The earlier any vision problems are discovered, the better the chance of correcting them.

Q. How can the optometrist examine my toddler’s eyes when she can’t read?

A. Opticians can assess which kind of lenses, if any, are needed without

EYE TESTS: It’s wise to spot and resolve problems early. your child having to read by; • Measuring the focusing ability by looking into each eye using an instrument called a retinoscope

• Using shapes, picture books and other materials to help children indicate what they can see and how clearly • Checking whether the eyes are working

properly together • Using special charts for young children who don’t know their alphabet • Checking the health of the eyes using an instrument called an ophthalmoscope Q. Are there any signs I can look for to suggest there is a problem with my child’s eyesight?

A. There are a few signs which could indicate a vision problem in children including: sitting too close to the TV, repeatedly rubbing their eyes, complaining of headaches, being clumsy or squinting.

Specsavers Opticas is currently offering free eye tests and two for one on kids glasses from 50€, including sunglasses.

Healthy options to drinking milk MILK is one of the most nourishing foods available, but lactose intolerant people suffer from unpleasant consequences when they drink it.

Finding a milk substitute is easy and supermarkets offer a wide range of possibilities to choose from.

The Spanish Vegetarian Union (UVE) has made a list with the best options and their properties.

Soy milk leads the list as it is rich in proteins and contains essential fatty acids.

Soy milk is cholesterol free so it is a good option to drink any time in the day.

Also easy to digest is oat milk, which comes in second place and is followed by rice milk, which UVE says is refreshing and digestive.

Almond and hazelnut milk come in third and fourth positions. They both have a high fibre content that regulates the digestive tract.

The list comes to an end with probably the most unknown alternative to milk. Drinks made with quinoa, a cereal originally from South America, have a lot of vitamins and are said to be very digestible.

SOY MILK: Probably the best known alternative to milk.

A full exam can help with rotator cuff pain THE rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that act to stabilise the shoulder and connect the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula).

They provide stability and allow the arm to rotate.

The four muscles of the rotator cuff are the teres minor, infraspinatus, supraspinatus and subscapularis. Each muscle inserts at the scapula and has a tendon that attaches at the humerus. Together, they form a ‘cuff’ around the humerus.

The shoulder is a very complicated joint and pain in the area can be due to a variety of reasons. The onset of pain may be acute if due to injury or gradual (insidious) if due to loss of strength or wear and tear.

Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com Pain is often felt at night, particularly if lying on the shoulder. Actions such as putting on a shirt or jacket, lifting, reaching or putting your hand behind your back can cause sudden pain. Pain is usually felt at the front of the arm and there may be a grinding or popping sensation when moving.

The most common cause of this type of pain is called impingement syndrome and it has many causes and just as many names i.e. subacromial impingement, painful arc syndrome, supraspiantus tendonitis, swimmers shoulder, throwers shoulder…

Impingement can also be due to wear and tear as osteoarthritic changes cause rough edges and sometimes little spurs at the acromioclavicular joint or variations in the shape of the acromion.

Thickening of the coracoacromial ligament may also cause

81

impingement.

If this occurs, the tendons of the rotator cuff become irritated and inflamed as they pass through the subacromial space (the passage beneath the acromion and the head of the humerus). This can result in pain, weakness and loss of movement.

Loss of function of the rotator cuff due to injury or loss of strength may cause the humerus to move up, resulting in impingement.

Inflammation and thickening of the subacromial bursa (lubricating sack that allows the tendons to glide) will also reduce the space and cause this pinching.

Abnormal scapular function is called scapular dyskinesis which means that the scapula is unstable.

This instability fails to allow the acromion to elevate and move as it should and this function is very important as it is needed to be able to prevent pressure on the supraspinatus tendon.

A reduction of space for the tendon to run in is called an impingement,

resulting in the syndrome causing supraspinatus tendonitis.

Now you understand why a detailed history and a full physical examination is so important.

Limitations of different movements suggest different problems. This may result in painful arc syndrome, which is the pain felt when moving the arm away from the body.

There are many tests for all the structures mentioned and once the assessment is complete, other tests will confirm these physical test results.

For more information on shoulder pain and treatment, please call The Bodyworks Clinic on 952 883 151 or visit www.TheBodyworksClinic. com.

Bring democracy to the Olympic Games S

CLARA_SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

O Madrid’s pride was shattered and Mariano Rajoy, Ana Botella and Prince Felipe humiliated by the IOC members.

Was it worth it? What was the purpose of Madrid’s third attempt to host the Olympic games when Spain had recently (in Olympic terms) hosted them - Barcelona in 1992 - and it was highly doubtful that a European City would be chosen in 2020 after London in 2012?

Madrid’s officials must have known it was Asia’s turn.

European IOC members, who supposedly pledged support for Madrid, reneged on any promises simply because choosing Madrid in 2020 would have ruined any chance of another European

venue in 2024. Political reasons and local interests prevail.

When Pierre de Coubertin created the modern games it was to fulfil his dream to bring athletes and sportsmen and women together from all over the world. Only what started as a ritual of goodwill and fair play has been gradually transformed into a global corporate and media circus requiring a massive financial investment.

So why do so many cities compete to organise a three week long sporting event which requires years of preparation, causes upheaval and turmoil for the inhabitants, requires enormous and costly building and security

measures, and once over is all but forgotten?

The answer lies in the way the IOC operates and the power it wields. But has its influence gone too far for the world to allow a handful of secretive individuals holed up in Switzerland determine where and who should organise a multi million pound global business? Does anyone ask themselves what is the role of the members apart from a talent to act like prima donnas and jet around the world in lavish style?

Their power is so far reaching it induces politicians to beg for their cities and then open their books to show they have sufficient resources to build and provide the required facilities.

Their methods fuel accusations of corruption.

Remember 2002 and the Salt Lake City bribery allegations and Tony Blair’s last minute lobbying for London?

But do they really need to assess the merits of the world’s leading cities and subject elected political leaders PIERRE DE to grovel before COUBERTIN: them, when Created the any reasonably modern games intelligent to fulfil his person would dreams. acknowledge that all international cities possess the expertise to develop and host a major

sporting event?

It is more than likely that the choice of venue is made long before the delegations of world leaders, city officials and even royalty, setting aside any economic problems they face at home, travel half way around the world to seek an audience with the IOC. They line up, like contestants in a beauty parade, to wait in suspense while the committee members lock themselves up to announce the winner. The IOC is judge and jury. At least in beauty competitions or

Where the games are held makes little difference to those who spectate from in front of their TV. Eurovision, the winner tends to be chosen by the audience.

Surely it is time to put an end to the IOC’s monopoly over the choice of venue and the charade of political and financial lobbying, and return to the ideal of using the Olympic Games to unite the people of the world.

Many of the world’s best athletes now originate from the developing nations. It is time they had the opportunity to hold the games instead of the usual merry-go-round of wealthy cities.

Rather than engage in the costly competition to organise the games, which only benefits the globetrotting committee members, the IOC and G20 nations should work together as a team with the aim of giving more nations the chance to host the games and spending the IOC’s cash more wisely.

The sites for five or 10 games over the next 20 to 40 years should be determined in

advance by mutual agreement.

The venues should rotate between the continents in order for all the world’s nations to have a chance to act as host.

Finance would come from a consortium of wealthy G20 nations which would spread the cost with private sponsors. This would enable poorer nations, currently excluded, to hold the games and reduce the risk of one city going bankrupt.

If the decision to hold the games in an African or Asian country lacking the means was made a decade in advance, they would have time, with international cooperation and funding, to prepare the games.

It would provide badly needed investment in infrastructure, housing, transport and sports facilities that would be put to good use after the games were over, provide local jobs and assist in the economic development of the countries concerned.

Today, whether the games are held in Iceland or Mozambique actually makes little difference to the vast majority of spectators sitting in front of their televisions around the world. And ticket prices could be substantially reduced in the poorer nations as most of the revenue generated comes from television coverage and sponsors.

To uphold the Olympic spirit the right path is to make the games the catalyst for aiding the developing nations in a coordinated effort to achieve democracy and prosperity.

Instead of remaining an elite, privileged club, the IOC should be transparent, come down to earth and look to how it can benefit the world rather than its own members. It is time for a real change of climate.

A long way from his previous career in art and framing, this was Sean’s way to turn his passion for cooking and his love of Spain into a family business he could be

proud of. He explains; “Being an open kitchen, one thing I couldn’t handle is unhappy customers. I know I can stand behind my fryer

and be proud of what I produce.

As a result of this hard work and dedication, in 2011 they were named as one of the top five places around the world to eat good fish and chips by Skyscanner.

A delig the tast PUNJAB PALACE is not the easiest restaurant to find, but well worth the effort once you do. It’s located in the urbanisation Playa Marina which, coming from Fuengirola, is located just after El Faro.

Coming from Marbella, one has to make a slight detour and leave the N340 at El Faro and head back towards La Cala to take the entrance into Playa Marina.

The owner Sahid, prides himself on excellent service and has brought the restaurant to life by wood panelling with subtle lighting, and table linens finishing the cosy look, with Indian music playing in the background.

The menu is a customary Indian menu, with variations from north and south India and a number of speciality dishes.

Exotic but familiar, this is comfort food from another continent. A dinner visit begins with popadums and three pleasant sauces, chutney, mint and onion relish.

Main courses include the likes of lamb korma in a smooth cream sauce, tandoori barbecued chicken, prawn and zesty biryani - various home-made breads can be ordered prepared in different ways baked, grilled and deep fried. The garlic naan, right from the tandoor oven, is a delight for the tastebuds.

Punjab Palace offers an extensive selection of classic Indian chicken, lamb, seafood and

ght for te buds vegetarian dishes. I especially like the lamb korma, which combines chunks of tender lamb with cashews and raisins in a mild but aromatic cream sauce.

Regular visitors to the Punjab Palace say they would not think of going elsewhere for an Indian meal. The reliable cooking, decentsize portions and reasonable prices together with the ever smiling service, make the place very attractive. If you are an ardent fan of Indian food, Punjab will curry your favour.

For clients living within a reasonable radius of the restaurant they provide a home delivery service, and of course take away.

The full standard menu can be viewed on their website at www.punjabpalaceplayamarina.es.

Using your gardening books to learn Spanish MANY expatriates come to Spain to enjoy the climate, food, culture

and generally relaxed way of life.

Many also have a

determination, at first at least, to learn some Spanish to be able to shop, find their way around Spanish menus, buy things in the local store, speak to the Spanish gardener and be friendly with Spanish neighbours.

Some make speedy progress by concentrating from day one on being able to speak. They listen to a

They also make shopping lists for the garden centre, agricultural cooperatives and agricultural/garden machine shops and write out a few basic questions as openers to find things if they are not obviously on display.

Others soon give up because of the way Spanish is taught, with months of concentration on grammar, the reading

for a few minutes of a novel by a Literary Nobel Prize winner such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the studying of the 13 cases of the subjunctive.

You could write a text along the lines of Shakespeare before you really get around to trying to talk in public.

Since our readers garden, or have a gardener who they would like to design and maintain a garden their way, all our original four major gardening books have useful vocabularies at the back and plant lists/descriptions with botanical, English and Spanish names.

The vocabularies are grouped under useful headings such as measurements, commonly useful words, materials, tools, parts of plants, types of plants, gardening verbs, and gardening adjectives.

Take these gardening books out of the book case and: • Read through them regularly checking each week how many of the words you can remember.

• Prepare garden related shopping lists that you could speak about or show Spanish garden centre and shop assistants.

• Offer to give your gardener some English coaching in return for him helping you with your Spanish - start this by wandering around the garden together describing each feature plant and problem in both languages.

• If you have a Spanish teacher lend her your gardening book/s and ask her to concentrate on using gardening words, phrases and sentences during your lesson and to set you relevant homework.

I remember writing out my gardening activities for the past week as the basis for a discussion and for my coach to correct my writings.

• Use the vegetable and fruit names from the above vegetable and fruit books when preparing food shopping lists.

Coin RBL treasure hunt AROUND 30 intrepid treasure hunters from the Coin branch of the Royal British Legion gathered in front of Lainey’s at Sierra Gorda for the annual Car Treasure Hunt.

Organiser Jim Cross came up with a beautifully scenic 60km route around El Chorro and the lakes near Ardales.

As usual there were several tricky clues to solve along the way and Jim was relieved to announce no team got 100 per cent right. However, some did better than others and Alan and Marion Ellis took the first prize with an amazing 98 per cent.

The hunt finished at El Punto bar in Carratraca where the hungry group enjoyed a tasty meal and a few drinks. Jim thanked everyone for taking part and also thanked Rosey Mahoney for her help.

Make moving easier for your dog IN all of the confusion of moving to a new home, don’t forget to prepare your dog for the move. Most dogs adapt quickly to their new surroundings with little or no difficulty.

So what should pet owners do before the move?

They should ask their vet for a referral in their new location. Owners should make sure both veterinarians’ numbers are handy during the move.

They should also arrange for their dog to be cared for at an alternative location during the move.

This reduces the risk of the animal getting out or being injured while the movers are working.

Owners should pack things they will need for their dog in an accessible and well-marked box. This includes dog food, dishes, any prescriptions or other medications the pet requires and a favourite bed or blanket.

They should be doubly careful to pack all of the dog’s toys so they don’t end up losing a favourite in the move.

During a trip there are a few things to remember.

If making a long distance move, people should pack a kit for their pet’s care during transit.

Included should be water from the old house. Pets may experience an upset stomach from a sudden change

in water. Try to take 10 litres and mix with new water.

There should also be sufficient food for the trip as well as utensils for preparing meals.

A familiar bed or blanket for sleeping is essential as are grooming tools (brush, comb, cotton wool etc).

Clean-up items including paper towels and plastic bags, should not be forgotten. It is very important to make sure the animal has a collar with ID tags and leash.

This is where writers, in any genre or medium, can share their work and get inspired.

Members will critique your piece, offer advice, support and give you encouragement, with the end goal of growing together and becoming the best that they can be at their craft.

Even people just starting out who are interested in writing, but don't have anything to read, can go along to experience the evening.

UK first-time buyers THE under-40s, that is first-time buyers, who are priced out of the UK market are increasingly looking to buy property abroad, according to research by foreign exchange specialists Moneycorp.

House prices continue to rise across the UK due to government mortgage schemes and cheap fixed-rate mortgages encouraging people to buy. This raises fears that a new property bubble could emerge. Should this happen it could make

purchasing property increasingly difficult for those trying to buy their first home.

A study by foreign exchange specialists Moneycorp has indicated that the number of 19 to 28-year-olds using their services to buy properties abroad increased dramatically in 2012.

The base numbers are low and only show an increase from three to 11 people, but Moneycorp has said this shows the growing interest in overseas

properties in this age group.

The research also shows the number of British residents in their 30s buying abroad increased by 25 per cent from 50 people in 2009 to 79 people in 2012.

However despite Spain being a large contender, America has become the most popular destination for overseas buyers aged 19 to 38 who are seemingly making the most of an improving jobs market and the large plots of land on offer.

Don’t fall foul of foreign customs WHEREVER you’re travelling, the chances are they do things differently there. That’s why it’s essential to research the dos and don’ts of your destination, along with taking out proper travel insurance and getting any necessary health jabs.

Break the law when you’re abroad, and you could end up facing whopping fines or even arrest... things that no travel insurance policy is designed to cover you for.

Yet that is exactly the situation that many travellers continue to face every year, says a recent report by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The report has highlighted a sharp rise in the number of Brits getting into trouble in Italy, the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands. More than a quarter of all cases requiring consular help involved arrests or detentions.

Many of these could have been avoided by reading the relevant country advice on the FCO website www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice.

Finding out what not to do in when in Rome - or Rangoon - takes only minutes.

In fact, behaviour that would hardly raise an eyebrow back home can land you in hot water in some countries.

David Deverson Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Bound for Barbados? Then you’d better leave the army fatigues at home: wearing camouflage clothing is illegal there, even for children.

In Singapore, some anti-social offences may sound like the answers in a game of Trivial Pursuit - but there’s nothing trivial about the fines they attract. The list includes chewing gum in the subway, immoderate displays of affection in public and failing to flush a public convenience after use (and yes, we’re told there really are spot-checks!).

Only this summer, some unwary British and Irish expatriates in Portugal showed how easy it is to be caught out by laws that differ from ‘back home.’ They were

BE PREPARED: Local knowledge a must. given heavy fines in court for playing bingo, so breaking the country’s tough anti-gambling laws.

Meanwhile, in several Italian cities, mayors are clamping down on unsightly snacking around historic monuments, so don’t be tempted to unwrap your panini on the church steps or you could end up out of pocket.

As for the Netherlands, the traveller

trouble is easily explained. Amsterdam is known for being tolerant on soft drugs, but some take that as meaning ‘anything goes.’ It doesn’t. If found in possession of drugs outside the designated places, you could end up in jail.

The UAE deserves a mention too. Of the million or so Britons that go there annually, only a handful get into difficulty, but the consequences may be very distressing. For all Dubai’s glitz, its values are Muslim. Women are expected to cover up far more than they would at home, while kissing, swearing or gesticulating aggressively can lead to arrest... a sorry end to a five star holiday.

Globelink Travel Insurance is a partner in the FCO’s Know Before You Go scheme, helping Brits travel abroad more safely.

Technology and fashion meet ITALIAN fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna and car manufacturer Maserati have joined forces to create a luxury concept car.

The Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition concept car will be unveiled at the 65th Frankfurt Motor Show to be held until September 22.

The concept car features a unique new look in colour scheme, materials and finish say the designers.

The exterior of the car features a special effect paint finish that simulates the fluidity and purity of metal, by using ultra-fine aluminium pigments, say the designers.

The platinum metal colour effect finish is warmly nuanced to express the car’s classic and technically advanced

character, according to the manufacturer.

The material and chromatic research behind the Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition is based on a play between the classical and the contemporary.

A leading role in this concept car is played by its interior.

Classical warm hues like mocha and greige (raw silk) are reinterpreted in a modern key to emulate Zegna’s latest men’s fashion collection.

Interior components such as seats, door panels and roof lining are finished in genuine soft leather.

In addition, a velvety, smooth, bright fabric conveys a formal,

Presented as a limited edition concept, the car is intended for development into a production version in 2014.

The elegant confidence of the Volvo Concept Coupe SWEDISH manufacturer Volvo has unveiled the prototype of its sports car.

The new Volvo Concept Coupe is the first of a series of three concept cars inspired by contemporary Scandinavian lifestyle and design.

“This concept car reveals how we could shape our cars from now on,” said Thomas Ingenlath new Senior Vice President of Design at Volvo about his first design.

The Volvo Concept Coupe features a powerful petrol plug-in hybrid.

A two-litre high-performance Drive-E petrol engine with a supercharger and turbo is teamed up with an electric motor on the rear axle.

This gives a total output of around 400 hp and over 600 Nm of torque.

The car has been designed to create a powerful and elegant visual impact.

The distance between the dashboard and the front axle has been extended to make new proportions which are more powerful when viewing the concept car from the side.
