PROUD OF HERITAGE: Gibraltarians adorn themselves and buildings in red and white.

Gibraltar celebrates

YESTERDAY Gibraltarians celebrated the 22nd annual Gibraltar National Day. Gibraltar Day as it is also known, commemorates the first referendum of 1967, when the people of Gibraltar unanimously voted to remain British and keep hold of their political ties to the United Kingdom.

For Gibraltarians, it is one of the most important days of the year. Proud of their heritage, they celebrate with street parties and festivities, adorning themselves and buildings in traditional red and white.

The day always begins with a children’s fancy dress competition in Mackintosh

Square where food and drink stalls are set up, providing Gibraltarian food, and the national dish ‘calentita’ (a pancake-like dish), followed by the school choir singing Llévame Donde Nací and Virgencita de Europa.

The mayor then awards worthy recipients with The Gibraltar Medallion of Honour, before reciting the National Day declaration from the balcony at City Hall, and releasing 30,000 red and white balloons, (a representation of the number of people in Gibraltar) and the Gibraltar National Anthem is sung. Festivities carry on into the evening, with a final ceremony and fireworks’ display.

Soup kitchen in dire straits A MALAGA soup kitchen urgently needs donations to feed impoverished families.

Located on Calle Francisco Carter, Er Banco Güeno is reaching out to charitable people through social media and several associations to weather the storm and keep offering meals to needy families in La Palma-La Palmilla.

“Today they did not even have

enough to serve breakfast. They are serving toasted stale bread and watery coffee with watereddown milk. I ask for your help on their behalf. A little help can go a long way,” said Jose Luis Sanchez, one of the masterminds behind the initiative to help the soup kitchen.

The lack of resources has deeply affected the charitable organisa-

tion and the fact that they do not have a car to pick up and transport large amounts of foods makes their work even more difficult.

Er Banco Güeno serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. “They need all sorts of food, especially food for hot meals,” said Sanchez and added that the premises also need to be sanitised.

New courses ALHAURIN EL GRANDE Council announced that registration has started for the young people’s courses (cursos de juventud) taught at the municipal library.

FLYING THE FLAG: Catalans celebrate their National Day.

T

Celebrating all things Catalan

ODAY (Thursday) is the National Day of Catalonia. Traditionally a day to celebrate the region’s heroes, it has also become a focus point for many people to demonstrate for Catalan independence.

All around the region, and particularly in the capital Barcelona, there will be events and demonstrations planned to mark the day, which is held on September 11 every year.

Organisations and political parties will lay flowers and wreaths at monuments to local heroes throughout the region. There will be political demonstrations, many calling for independence, and meetings in memory of the solidiers who defended Barcelona during the war of the Spanish Succession.

Quote of the Week We do not rule out any scenarios.’

Josep Rull from Convergencia i Unio (CiU) talking to El Mundo about the Catalan referendum on independence to take place on November 9 when asked if CiU would unilaterally declare independence with Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya.

It is also a day for festivities with concerts featuring traditional Catalan music, plenty of private parties and huge paellas cooked for communal meals.

The day marks the anniversary of the Bourbon forces’ recapture of Barcelona on September 11, 1714, after a siege. When the Autonomous Region of Catalonia was set up in 1979 one of its first acts was to declare September 11 the Day of Catalonia.

It was to mark the painful memories of the defeat and loss of freedoms that happened in 1714. So in 1980, September 11 was officially a public holiday for the first time.

Many shops and businesses in the region will be closed, but it is not a holiday in other parts of Spain.

ARRIVAL: Ashya transferred to Prague hospital.

Fire in Mijas A FIRE broke out on the Costa del Sol in the Campo Mijas area, just off the AP-7 motorway.

Firemen started tackling the blaze at around 6.15pm on Tuesday. Smoke could be seen from vantage points in the surrounding area including the N340 road, and dense smoke could be seen from as far away as Malaga Airport.

Fire crews worked tirelessly on the ground to

stop the advancing fire fronts, and three helicopters were deployed to drop water on the flames from above, as well as a plane.

Police also closed local roads in the area in order to stop people getting too close to the flames.

According to INFOCA, the fire was soon stabilised and brought under control, with no damage to property reported

ASHYA KING left Malaga Children’s Hospital on Monday at 8.20am after a stay of eight days.

The Junta de Andalucía (regional government) gave the go-ahead for the five-year-old to fly to Prague in the Czech Republic to receive Proton Beam Therapy.

Ashya left the hospital in a specially-equipped ambulance which took him to the airport. He

was given a police escort.

Brett King, the boy’s father, followed the ambulance in a taxi with the family’s lawyer, Juan Isidro Fernandez. The ambulance entered the airport through a restricted area whilst Mr King had to enter through the main entrance.

Hospital authorities said the boy was able to travel as all the correct

documentation was in place, and a medically-equipped plane was available.

Ashya’s case hit the headlines when his parents removed the five-year-old cancer sufferer from hospital in the UK and travelled to Spain.

An international arrest warrant was issued and his parents were taken into custody when discovered at a hostel in the Axarquia.

Ashya was admitted to hospital while his parents were taken to Madrid for an extradition hearing.

Following public pressure, the UK authorities withdrew the arrest warrant, although Ashya remained a ward of court.

The Junta de Andalucia pointed out that under regional law the wellbeing of children always outweighed any other legal considerations and it had worked to permit his transfer to Prague for the therapy.

Gangster shot down in broad daylight GANGSTER Gerard Kavanagh was gunned down in broad daylight by two masked gunmen.

The Irish-born gangster was shot multiple times whilst drinking on the terrace of a bar in Elviria.

Kavanagh, 44, known as ‘The Hatchet’, is reported to have attempted to run from his seat but was shot from behind whilst attempting to flee. Witnesses report hearing at least 10 shots fired, most of which hit the victim, who died at the scene.

The two gunmen fled on foot in the direction of the motorway. Police later found a burnt-out BMW which they believe may have been used in connection with the murder.

The shooting occurred

MURDER SCENE: Pinares de Elviria shopping centre. at approximately 5.30pm on Saturday at the Pinares de Elviria shopping centre, Marbella, an area frequented by tourists, and just 500 metres from the Don Carlos hotel where the Spain-US forum was under way.

Witness reports suggest the assailants were dressed all in back, with their faces covered.

The first shot is believed to have hit Kavanagh in the arm. As he ran for cover towards

the bar he was shot again in the back. With Kavanagh on the ground the gunmen are reported to have approached the body and delivered at least one shot to the head, ensuring their kill.

This latest shooting will highlight the continued existence of foreign organised crime groups in Southern Spain. But such violence is, according to neighbouring businesses, unheard of in Elviria. One restaurant worker, who did not want to be

named, said: “We all get along very well here. The owner of the bar is very nice and there has never been any trouble, up until now. It is shocking that this could happen here.”

Nearby businesses in the centre were busy with diners just a few metres away from the murder scene, as they were at the time of the shooting.

This is the second fatal shooting on the Costa del Sol in 10 days. A man was gunned down on August 29 outside a commercial centre near the Ronda road.

Police in Marbella have found the weapons suspected to have been used in the gunning down of Gerard Kavanagh.

The burnt-out BMW X3 found shortly after the shooting a few kilometres away immediately became the focus of police attention. Once it was determined that the car had been stolen, further investigation of the car’s interior led to the discovery of two handguns.

All indications point to the firearms being those used in the murder.

Royals in town THE people of Malaga and the Costa del Sol finally got the chance to meet their new king.

King Felipe VI was in the province with Queen Letizia on their first official visit since he was named King.

The Royals paid a visit to the city’s Picasso Museum before attending an inaugural dinner to open the 19th Spain-US forum at the Automobile Museum.

The King delivered a speech at a formal dinner to celebrate relations between Spain and the United States of America. And the King gave the Costa del Sol, and Marbella in particular a welcome boost when he said in his speech that Marbella was the leader of tourism in Spain.

The forum is an annual event which brings both Spanish and American politicians and businesspeople together to discuss mutual interests.

It aims to promote financial and business relations between the two countries, as well as strengthening the three-way relationship between Spain, the USA and Latin America.

Since falling into disuse, the towers have become a national heritage. There are 23 towers on the Costa del Sol, which are awaiting refurbishment.

Renovation of these monuments is complicated, depending on their location. Some are on public land and some on private land. Although the Junta de Andalucía has declared the towers ‘Cultural Assets’, access to them is sometimes difficult if they are on private land.

In Estepona, three of the seven towers are waiting to be remodelled, the first of which is called Saladaviaje.

Having been given approval by the Junta de Andalucía to be restored in 2008, the municipal architect ordered

No to extra sweets and cakes, no to staying out late at night with friends, no to watching too much television and being told when chancing our luck: “I told you, No means No.” A phrase which is not new to us, it just isn’t used as often as when we were children.

Whilst current legislation is due for review and change by the Interior Ministry, Carmen Monton, the opposition PSOE Party’s Secretary for Equality, has said that the continued gaffes show how oldfashioned and inherently sexist the government’s attitude towards women and sexual assault remains.

The words and actions of these two leaders alone have generated a response globally and locally. The inference is that women are not equal to men. The in-depth detail of their respective speeches suggesting that women are provocative in their attire, and their attitude generally are grossly undermining the women of today.

To make a suggestion that a woman’s dress sense or travelling in a lift alone with a female may lead to allegations of sexual crimes is unacceptable. There have even been comments that women should be educated so as to ‘improve their behaviour’, so as to prevent sexual assaults and rape.

Euro Weekly News (EWN) raises concerns over the misogynous views of elected officials whose opinions belong in the Stone Age. At the EWN group, we are concerned that the outdated views of men in high places, just like Mayor De la Riva, are contributing to the continued belittlement of women’s rights to be women.

Three million in seven months MORE than three million holidaymakers visited Malaga Province during the first seven months of the year.

According to recent figures released by the Junta de Andalucia regional government, 3.3 million tourists stayed in the province’s hotels and holiday apartments and as many as 664,000 tourists visited Malaga during August alone.

The Junta expects the number of holiday-

makers visiting Andalucia during the summer to reach 22 million, said Tourism Councillor Rafael Rodriguez. This would represent a 1.7 per cent increase compared to last year.

The figures show that Andalucia is still a strong tourist destination on a national level and that the number of visitors staying in the region has surpassed pre-crisis levels, said Rodriguez.

More money for welfare groups MARBELLA Council has increased the subsidies granted to social welfare organisations.

The subsidies granted to social welfare organisations by Marbella Council have increased by 17 per cent so far this year, compared to 2013.

Furthermore, the number of social welfare projects benefiting from these grants has grown from 26 to 31.

Social Welfare

Councillor Manuel Cardeña said at a press conference that the subsidies have been slowly increasing, from €40,000 in 2007 to €80,000, then to €94,000 and finally to €110,000 in 2014.

In order to qualify for financial aid, the beneficiaries must first fulfil a number of requirements.

For instance, they must be included in the Marbella Municipal Organisations Registry and their head office must be in Marbella, said Cardeña.

The help provided by Marbella Council to social welfare organisations does not end there, though, since it also negotiates annual co-operation agreements with them, added

Cardeña. Some of the organisations that have negotiated co-operation agreements with the council include Banco de Alimentos, Ser Humano, Asociacion Crece and Asociacion de Familiares de Enfermos de Alzheimer.

The importance of the subsidies granted to social welfare organisations cannot be stressed enough, especially given the cuts in financial aid to social programmes, commented Cardeña.

“If it were not for the council’s help, for instance, the Asociacion de Personas Sordas de Marbella-San Pedro (Association of Deaf People of Marbella-San Pedro) would not have an interpreter,” he remarked.

National Police placed two men, aged 23 and 49, under arrest for kidnapping, extortion and assault.

The detainees reportedly held the victim in his own home and tied his feet and hands. They are then said to have assaulted him by placing a hot iron on his back and demanding €30,000.

Further inquiries led the police to discover that the kidnappers believed the victim, who had previously been arrested for acting as an intermediary in drug deals, had stolen from them an undisclosed amount of cocaine valued at €30,000. After identifying the alleged kidnappers, the police arrested them on August 7, and seized a replica gun and assault rifle.

With a beautiful view of the Roman Courtyard in Plaza Village, Namazake restaurant at Puente Romano Beach Resort offers the most varied Japanese cuisine. In addition to traditional sushi and sashimi, their guests can enjoy more unusual delights prepared by Chef Elquin Rangel, as well as a wide range of Sake.

f you’re looking for an excellent Japanese kitchen in Marbella, Namazake is the place to go. Located next to the legendary Suite restaurant and nightclub, overlooking the spectacular Plaza Village courtyard in Puente Romano, Namazake offers a wide range of Eastern delicacies. Sushi and sashimi are a must, but the menu caters for more unique and unusual Far Eastern cuisine options, as well as the most extensive choice of Sake on the coast.

Traditional starters include Edamame No Pipikara, which are the classical Steamed Soyabeans with Salt Flakes and a hint of spiciness, Wakame No Sunomono, Wakame salad with Cucumber, Prawn, Crab, Ponzu and Sesame, Sushi and maki rolls, all beautifully presented.

Main course of Guindara Saiko-Yaki, Blackcod with Shisho Leaves and Miso Sauce is very delicate and perfectly seasoned. It is one of those dishes that wouldn’t usually catch your eye on the menu, but we definitely recommend that you try it.

What is Robata grill? In Japanese cuisine, robatayaki - literally ‘firesidecooking’, often shortened to just robata (ろばた in hiragana) - refers to a method of cooking, similar to barbecue, in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Namazake Robata was the choice from the grill menu, which was an assorted selection of meat and chicken made on this grill. Very juicy and absolutely delicious.

Last, but not least, indulge in some amazing Japanese desserts. For example, Coconut Chupa Chups with Pineapple and Hot Caramel Toffee is an amazing sweet experience. Spoon some warm caramel sauce over the ice cream - a match made in heaven!

So what can you expect from Namazake? Perfectionism, fresh flavours and stunning fish. The people behind the amazing menu and food are Head Chef and creator of Namazake concept, Elquin Rangel, and also Second Chef Renée Dizon, who is originally from Manila and has been in the profession for over 30 years and achieved the legendary ‘sensei’ status, an honour only awarded to the highest-level masters of Japanese cuisine. All the recipes are in his head and he never even reads a recipe book. The three most important things for being a world-class sushi chef? Your knives, your personality and your dedication.

Namazake really offers a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to enjoy dinner, whether seated at a table or more informally at the bar. The Namazake bar then turns into the place to see and be seen - especially on weekends - as diners join the cool crowd in Plaza Village. A superb setting to mingle and enjoy a cocktail to the sound of the 70s, 80s and 90s floating in the air.

NAMAZAKE CONCEPT: Perfectionism, fresh flavours and stunning fish.

Where is the honour amongst criminals?

IMAGINE the scene. You go out for lunch or shopping, or just a drink on a Saturday afternoon with your family or friends. It is spectacularly hot and you decide to sit on a shady terrace and order something to eat or drink.

The environment is relaxed. There are others around you enjoying their Saturday afternoon, sipping cool drinks watching the world go by.

Friends are catching up with each other, children play close to their families and the sun shining down.

It is a relaxed scene that is shattered when suddenly an unknown man gets up

and starts to run from a neighbouring table.

You wonder what’s going on. Then suddenly you see two figures dressed in black, wearing balaclavas, arms extended towards the fleeing man, both holding guns. Without warning, any warning, you witness and hear several loud cracks, bangs, similar to the sound of a car backfiring.

Is this real? Are you in the middle of a stage show,

COLD-BLOODED COWARDS: No thought for the innocents.

television or film production with a camera crew about to follow in tow?

Again sounds of more gunshots ring out, the running man no longer running but now stumbling to the ground.

Chaos, shock, is there a silence in the air or screams and shouting from scared members of the public? Do you stay seated and try to cover yourself from becoming a victim of collateral damage – an innocent bystander? Are you grabbing children to protect them from danger, to prevent them from seeing this cold-blooded murder?

Whilst doing so you watch the masked men walk over to the injured man, one of them points his gun at the man and delivers a head shot at almost point-blank range, ensuring their assassination attempt is a success.

With the final bullet delivered, the gunmen run from the scene and make good their escape.

Is there no honour amongst criminals any more? Modern-day gangland style assassination attempts, murder in broad daylight, shootings, thefts -

organised gangs and petty criminals go about their business with no care as to the impact their actions may have on innocent members of the public.

Where have the days gone when there was honour? When children would not have to witness such violence? When women would not have seen beatings and shootings and when gangs and criminals would rebel and retaliate against each other in secluded areas?

In the East End of London, such acts would have been carried out under the cover of night, in the quiet docklands when business closed for the day, or out in Epping Forest.

They understood that going to such locations would mean only those involved would be privy to their acts.

Today we witness violence, murder, terrorism, political assassination by criminals that do not care whom they hurt or who witnesses their barbaric, violent and despicable behaviour.

They give no thought to post-traumatic stress

disorder, to the effect their acts have on young and old, that they may scar innocents for life, yet they cowardly hide their faces behind masks and make attempts to cover themselves from identification.

They give the impression of braveness for their cause but show cowardice in their stance. They give no thought to others not involved in their criminal activity and run around acting in a bullish manner.

This has to stop, the lawabiding public’s voice needs to be heard. Authorities and governments need to take radical and swift action, change needs to be made.

The alternative is to sit back and wait for a time when it’s too late, when criminality takes over, when an unofficial public curfew comes into place through fear of becoming collateral damage because the authorities have not reacted fast enough.

Spend more Hottest start on jobs call to September THE Partido Andalucista (PA) political party has criticised what it calls a lack of investment in the fight against unemployment.

Javier Checa, PA candidate to Malaga Council, said that not enough money is spent on fighting unemployment.

“Malaga Council should spend less on museums and invest more in education and job creation. Given the

current situation, it is frivolous and a whim from Francisco de la Torre to spend millions on museums when many people in Malaga cannot even afford tickets because they are out of a job,” said Checa.

The 2014 budget totals €690 million and the local government allocates €3.7 million to the Municipal Institute for Education and Employment (IMFE). In contrast, the council is to spend €15 million on the Pompidou Centre.

The council said that IMFE has created 1,614 new jobs in a year, offered training to 11,702 people and advice to as many as 12,926 unemployed people.

on record

MALAGA is experiencing the hottest September since records began, with average temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius.

The first eight days of September have seen average temperatures soar a whopping five degrees higher than normal, according to Spain’s meteorological association Aemet, which has predicted temperatures to remain high throughout next week.

Minimum temperatures within the province are not expected to fall below 19 or 20 degrees.

The high temperatures have been exacerbated by westerly winds, as well as Malaga’s infamous terral, the dry, hot summer air which blows along the coast.

Police charge 10 for illegal fishing THE Guardia Civil has charged 10 people for the illegal fishing of sea anemones, commonly known in Andalucia as ‘ortiguillas’ off the beaches of Marbella and Estepona.

Authorities confiscated 168 kilos of the species as well as nets. Eleven charges have been brought against 10 people for fishing without permission, overfishing and failure to alert the appropriate authorities when diving.

Police suspicions were aroused when they discovered the fishermen possessed specialist diving equipment but had not alerted the relevant authorities of its use and of their location, therefore violating safety rules put in place for those participating in aquatic activities.

Police believe that the divers had deliberately not signalled their position in an attempt to avoid detection.

SEA ANEMONES: A favourite delicacy in Cadiz and Sevilla.

After leaving the water, the illegal fishermen allegedly deposited their catch in crates with the intention of transporting it to Cadiz where it would have been sold illegally.

The ‘ortiguilla’ is a gastronomic delicacy, and consumed in large quantities especially in Cadiz and Sevilla, commonly fetching a price

of €7 or €8 a dozen.

The illegal fishing of ‘ortiguillas’ has a double effect.

Not only does it harm the profits of those fishermen who work within the law, but it can also have grave consequences for the sea’s biodiversity, which cannot be accurately monitored if creatures are being secretly fished.

Man stands trial for 2006 accident A MAN is to be tried by a jury for allegedly causing a car accident and fleeing the area without helping a motorcyclist who died on the scene.

If convicted, the man could serve a prison sentence of two years and be ordered to pay the deceased’s family almost €100,000 in compensation. The trial

date has been set for November 24.

The fatal accident dates back to September 2006. According to the provisional conclusions drawn by the public

prosecutor, the defendant was driving on a motorway between Canillas de Albaida and Torrox dangerously ignoring all basic driving rules. At some point and

without warning, he illegally turned to the right and crashed into the victim’s motorbike.

As stated by the prosecution, the victim was hit on the side and fell to the floor. He suffered chest trauma and a traumatic brain

injury, which resulted in heart failure and death.

Rather than rendering aid to the victim and trying to ascertain the seriousness of the victim’s injuries, the defendant fled the scene, said the prosecution.

Malaga revamp PLANS have been announced by Malaga City Council to begin work on the renovation of Plaza de los Mártires and Calle Comedia.

The council intends to spend €700,000 on the project, which is predicted to take two and a half months to complete.

Throughout the project, care will be taken to preserve the square’s historic character and to bring the zone into line

with the surrounding streets.

Calle Comedia connects Plaza de los Mártires with Calle Tejón y Rodríguez, and will be repaved and evened out.

The current paving stones will be replaced with grey stone which will be taken from the Sierra Elvira, which is ideal for use in the pedestrian centre of Malaga.

Best place to live but not to work EUROPEWIDE research has revealed that the inhabitants of Malaga are happier than those living in Oviedo or the world famous cities of Madrid and Barcelona.

A survey carried out by Urban Audit, a research group from the European Commission, claimed a remarkable 98 per cent of citizens said they were ‘satisfied’ to live in the Andalucian city, placing it in the top 15 of all 79 European cities in the survey.

Malaga was also the top contender when asked if “the presence of foreigners is good for the región,” with 83 per cent of people from the city agreeing, with tourism being the main income for the city and creating

the most employment.

The statistics are up since the last survey in 2009, and it appears opinion is becoming more mainstream.

However good it may be living there, if you are looking for employment or career options, Malaga is not the option for you.

Out of the main cities surveyed, Oviedo came first with 63 per cent of people ‘happy’ with their personal job situation; Barcelona was just behind with 62 per cent, Madrid came third with 56 per cent and Malaga was last with 55 per cent.

Spain’s youth unemployment rate is currently at a high, standing at 53.8 per cent.

Ask the opticians

Are your child’s eyes prepared?

DURING the first 12 years of our lives, as much as 80 per cent of learning is accomplished through our vision.

Yet, one out of every four children has an undetected vision problem that may inhibit their progress. Once children go to school, good eye-sight is crucial to keep up with their studies. Experts believe that many learning disabilities could be vision related as they may not be able to read the blackboard or text books.

Specsavers Opticas suggest that a child should have their first eye examination at around three-years-old, as the earlier things are detected,

the easier they are to rectify without delaying the child’s development.

This September they are advising all parents to incorporate a thorough eye test into their back to school routine so they can be prepared if their child does need glasses.

The process of taking an eye test for a child is simple.

Firstly, the optometrist will ask the parent or guardian about any relevant family history and any problems their child may be experiencing.

Then several child-friendly tests will be undertaken, using special charts and other materials to help children indicate what they can see and how clearly.

They will test the vision of each eye and will check whether they work properly together. They will also measure the child’s focusing ability and the health of the child’s eyes before discussing the results with the parents.

If a child does need glasses, there are some great ranges which tick all the boxes of fashion and durability. Kids that wear glasses can now be the envy of all their friends with fun frames in bright colours sporting their favourite character or toy.

Until end of November 2014 Specsavers Opticas are offering free eye tests for children and adults.

A gleaming smile thanks to Hola Credito

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading shortterm lender. In our weekly column we look at different lending solutions that Hola Credito offers – this week – emergency dental work WE all want to have the most dazzling smile possible, but good dental and orthodontic work can be very expensive.

Many health insurance schemes do not cover dental work, so when one Hola Credito client needed emergency dental work recently, the short-term loan company came to the rescue.

“I had a slight accident and broke three of my front teeth,” said the client. “When I checked my health insurance I wasn’t covered, and the bill for the work to repair my teeth was more than €3,000.”

The client emailed Hola Credito, sending a picture of his Rolex GMT Master watch, which he wanted to use as security. Within 24 hours he had secured a loan to pay for his dental repairs, and once he had couriered the watch to Hola Credito the money was transferred to his account and he could go ahead with the dental work.

As well as luxury watches, Puerta

Banus based Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) accepts a range of assets as security for loans, including jewellery, precious stones, luxury cars and boats. It operates throughout the whole of Spain, and the interest on loans is calculated on a daily basis (from 14 days to six months), so clients only pay for the number of days they need the loan.

The Puerta Banus based company usually provides loans at five per cent a month, with no arrangement fees or other charges, and uses the best couriers to provide services to the rest of Spain.

“I was so happy I didn’t have to wait to get my smile back,” the client said. “Hola Credito was fast, professional and efficient, and I only had to pay interest on the number of days I had the loan. I would definitely use Hola Credito again, but hopefully I won’t need to fix my smile again any time soon.”

Child poverty risk high in Andalucia CHILDREN in Andalucia are at a greater risk of poverty than in other Spanish regions.

Murcia, Andalucia and the Canary Islands are the Autonomous Communities where children are at greatest risk, compared to the rest of the country.

The risk is even higher if there are more than two children living in the same household.

These are some of the conclusions of a study conducted by a nongovernmental organisation called Educo.

While Germany and Ireland provide aid to all families, the Spanish Government only offers help to one out of 10 families, according to Educo.

In Spain there are 2.5 million children at risk of poverty, 1.5 million of them living in Andalucia, Catalonia, Valencia and Madrid.

According to Educo’s research and data from 2012, children living in Murcia (42 per cent), Andalucia (40 per cent) and the Canary Islands (38 per cent) are at the greatest risk.

The national risk average in Spain is 29.9 per cent.

In contrast, the Autonomous Communities with the lowest child poverty risk are Navarra (15.9 per cent), Madrid (20 per cent), the Basque Country and Cantabria (20.7 per cent) and Asturias (20.9 per cent).

“The situation in Spain does not improve,” said Educo General Manager Jose M Faura.

He added that it was necessary to implement a programme which guarantees that every child gets a meal at school canteens.

Furthermore, Faura advocates putting increasing pressure on regional governments to make sure all children have the opportunity to benefit from school canteens.

Some of the reasons behind the risk of child poverty include couples having more than two children, single-parent families, unemployment and problems making ends meet by the end of the month.

Young wallaby is attacked by vandals A YOUNG wallaby had to undergo surgery after being attacked by a group of vandals.

The animal from Parque del Oeste in Malaga had to be operated on after the attackers fractured its shinbone and fibula. According to a veterinarian’s report, the rednecked wallaby must have been chased and abused by someone who entered its enclosure.

Before

undergoing surgery, the wallaby was treated with antibiotics and tranquillizers.

The fracture is located in its right hindleg and judging by its characteristics it must have been caused by a single strong blow. Even though this is the first time wallabys have fallen victim to such an attack, the truth is youngsters have reportedly tried to enter their enclosure before.

“Youngsters have been seen bothering the animals on other occasions and they have gone so far as to enter their enclosures to abuse them,” said a report signed by Juan Jose Castillo Martin.

The police have requested the footage from Parque del Oeste’s surveillance cameras to try to identify the alleged attackers and bring them up TARGETED: The wallaby suffered a broken leg. on charges of animal cruelty.

Arts and crafts feature at The Over 50s Show THERE will be a significant arts and crafts element at The Over 50s Show in Estepona in November.

Apart from craftspeople showing their jewellery and leatherwork, as well as other crafts, two of the main contributors will be the Andalusian International Artists (AIA) celebrating their 10th anniversary this year - and Totem Ceramics.

Roger Cummiskey, President of AIA, commented: “We take part in numerous events throughout the year and The Over 50s Show is always one of the most successful in terms of interest and sales. We look forward to it again this year.” Artists this year include members from Holland, Ukraine, UK, Ireland and Spain: Meta Wolters, Alyona Panova, Richard Wood, Elizabeth Bishop, Dolores Cummiskey, Roger Cummiskey, Juan Cruz Plaza and Enrique Linaza.

Over 50s Show organiser John Low said: “I am delighted with the very professional approach from the AIA group and believe that their artists will substantially contribute to the success of this popular exhibition.”

If you are an artist and would like to join AIA and exhibit your work, go to website www.aia-artgroup. com and fill in the application form or call Roger Cummiskey on +34 666 78 26 42.

Totem Ceramics will be demonstrating the various pottery skills you can learn from them. Surprisingly, in spite of Andalucia’s rich ceramics’ tradition stretching back thousands of years, the Costa del Sol has very limited facilities for aspiring potters. Unable to

With help from her family, Suzie opened Totem Ceramics last year in the Centro Comercial Costasol, between Cancelada and Benavista.

Suzie is keen to stress that, often, people who feel they are not artistic make great potters.

“Many people are unaware of their hidden creative potential because they have been constrained or felt intimidated by the traditional art world.

Ceramics encompasses the worlds of both art and craft,

so it suits a broader range of abilities than, say, painting does,” she said.

Classes are held twice a day, five days a week, for beginners to experienced potters. At Totem you can learn to throw on the potter’s wheel, slab-building, coilbuilding, sculpture, glazing, majolica decoration and more.

The Over 50s Show, which is supported by Euro Weekly News and who will be a major exhibitor at the show, takes place on the Weekend of Saturday 8th (12 noon until 6pm) and Sunday 9th November (11am until 6pm) at the Palacio de Congresos, Estepona. Admission and car and coach parking is free.

For further information on the event, or if you are interested in exhibiting, contact the organisers, S&L Promotions Ltd, on 902 003 896 (wait for a delay on the line), or email: info@slp.ie

A note from the

Editor

Welcome to the Russians‌

I

N these days of tension between Russia and the West over Ukraine, it is good to see ordinary people doing what they can to improve understanding between different cultures.

It is all too easy to demonise people from faraway lands and paint them in black and white.

But living on the Spanish Costas it is far easier to get an understanding of different cultures simply because there are so many of them making up this cosmopolitan society.

But that counts for nothing if they do not mingle and instead stick to their own. That is why events like the Russian Cultural Meeting Point in Marbella are so important.

As people get to know each other and their points of view, distrust evaporates as understanding grows.

Perhaps Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama should pay a visit to Marbella to iron out their differences‌ See Page 51

Common sense ASHYA KING is in Prague to get treatment for his cancer. In the end, a mass breakout of common sense came to the fore.

The UK authorities dropped the arrest warrant against his parents, Spanish authorities released them and the Junta de Andalucia regional government worked to ensure that Ashya could travel abroad.

A shame that common sense could not have been shown a little earlier.

We wish Ashya and his loving family all the best, and our prayers go with them.

Culture with a Russian flavour A TASTE of Russia came to Spain as the hand of friendship was held out between the two countries.

A four-day programme of events was held in Marbella for the First Russian Cultural Meeting Point.

It was a way for the Spanish, indeed all the nationalities repre-sented on the Costa del Sol, to learn more about the

cultural pheno-menon that is Russia.

Steeped in history, the nation has a unique artistic, cultural and spiritual heritage.

The event was a spectacular affair which brought together the different cultures to improve their understanding of each other.

It took place mainly in the Centro Comercial Marina Banus in Marbella’s Puerto Banus.

Linda Echeverria, who organised the event, said: “These days have served to create a cultural bridge between the two countries.

We have provided an approach that has created a mutual under-standing and very positive feeling for both communities, particularly those living in Andalucia.”

She added that the four days of fashion, dance, art and music featuring artists including Maxim Rubtsov on flute, pianist Carmen Pérez Blanco, dancing group Kalinka with Russian folk songs and dances, magic master Yuri Chuguyev with his vibraphone and artist Juan Anhelo with his threedimensional artwork, were a great success.

The closing

ceremony was held, which delighted the 200 attendees. Two fashion shows followed, by Russian designer Valeria Farafonova and Spanish designer Antonia García Galiano.

Maik Alexandre of Canal Sur television and Yuliana Lobacy, Vice-President of the Russian Association Costa del Sol, presented the evening in a lighthearted and humorous fashion.

Linda Echeverría officially closed the first Russian Cultural Meeting Point Marbella, and thanked the attendees for their presence and the role of all participating companies and artists.

The evening was attended by VIPs from the cultural, political and social world including: Juan Domingo, Consul of Costa Rica; Mario Ponce, Consul of Ecuador; Alexandre Akinfiev, Malaga Russian Consul Office Chief; Bernard Adolphe of Agüera; Princess Mary Louise of Prussia; Count Rudi; Ricardo Bocanegra; Viruca Yebra; José Manuel Morán; Julia Regard; Gabiñe Larrazabal from the Association of University Women of Marbella; Maria Claude Radziewsky; Dan Ortuño; Svetlana Ciliuta, Nash Dom Association President; and Alla Yevsyukova, President of the Russian Association of the Costa del Sol.

NORWAY - According to Norwegian authorities, the 14,000 foreigners living in the country who have either false or unknown identities represent a security problem. They have been ordered to leave the country, but many live in places unknown to the police. A large percentage of them are regular asylum applicants whose applications were denied.

THE 45,355 new cars registered last month were a 13.7 per cent increase on August 2013 thanks to government incentives.

The Dacia Sandero was the most-sold vehicle, followed by the Seat Ibiza.

Fiscal fraud clampdown ANTI-FRAUD measures earned the Spanish government €5.5 billion in the first six months of this year.

It was the best half-year result ever, announced Cristobal Montoro, who heads the Finance ministry and Spain’s tax authority Hacienda.

The government’s efforts to bring the submerged economy to the surface are getting results, Montoro said, and this was reflected in increased VAT (IVA) income.

In the first six months of the year Hacienda’s revenue from VAT grew by 6.8 per cent although earnings from other taxes rose 5.3 per cent.

“More income from the consumer tax should signal increased spending but revenue is ahead of the way the economy is evolving,” Montoro pointed out.

Hacienda is also receiving more corporation tax, the minister added. In 2011 Spain’s large companies paid 3.8 per cent, but a year later this rose to 5.3 per cent and owing to changes in the law is now expected to have reached 9 per cent in 2013.

For the first time 134,000 Spaniards and residents had to declare assets and holdings outside Spain, Montoro explained, an innovation that earned another €88 billion for the government.

Analysis of Canal+ purchase APPROVAL or rejection of Telefonica’s Canal+ purchase will rest with the Spanish government.

The European Commission passed the buck by claiming that the operation is not an EU matter.

Analysing the issue rested with Spain and the CNMC markets and monopolies commission, it said.

Telefonica, which began its media offensive by acquiring

More out of jobs AFTER falling for six consecutive months, Spain’s unemployment figures rose once more in August. The number of jobless increased by 8,070, bringing a national total of 4,427,930 according to the latest Ministry of Labour figures. This is normal as unemployment figures have risen each August since 1990, the ministry said.

Layoffs loom CAIXABANK’S purchase of Barclays España will bring staff reductions, revealed sources close to the operation. Around 50 per cent of the 2,400 employees at 270 Barclays branches throughout Spain are likely to be made redundant, with restructuring costs borne by buyer and vendor, the same sources said.

Young would-be mothers are a pain for the boss Loose change

A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

IT was in the 1970s when an Equal Pay Act was introduced in the UK, which outlawed favouring one sex over another in terms of pay and conditions in the workplace.

Forty years on and it appears that female bosses are still earning only three-quarters as much as their male colleagues - meaning they would have to work until they were nearly 80 to catch up with men’s lifetime earnings, according to new figures.

With such workplace sexism obviously still in full swing it should come as no

big surprise then to hear that 40 per cent of managers questioned in another recent study admit that they would avoid hiring younger women to try and not have to deal with maternity leave.

More than 40 per cent also admitted that they would be wary of hiring a woman who has already had a child or hiring a mother for a senior role.

While 25 per cent said they would rather hire a man to get around issues of child care when a woman does return to work, with 44 per cent saying the financial costs to their business because of maternity leave are a significant concern.

J.S. (e-mail) Your Administrator is right. The meters were changed and the pipes installed as a Community action.

Further, even your own particular pipe is on the outside of the building, not in your apartment. You can only be held responsible for any pipe that is actually on your private property. Up to the meter, the water company is responsible. From the meter to your flat, the Community is responsible.

But this isn’t any different to what needs to be done if a man has a bad injury or illness that keeps him from his work for a time.

MODERN day technology has brought many benefits to businesses. One of the most important is the use of the internet to keep customers informed and make them feel part of the business. Below are some of the advantages of using email instead of more traditional means of communication.

You know where your business is but do potential customers? Email or attach map directions. Your clients will appreciate your helpfulness.

Emails can detail services and prices you offer. Menus can be emailed. Pre-ordered meals make life easier for kitchen staff whilst reducing costs. Whatever your service you can email price lists and offers.

Invite customers to leave their email addresses. You can then better inform them of special offers, price reductions, entertainment engagements, holidays, opening and closing times.

If you hold events, move address, take on a new manager, book an entertainer, email can be used to inform customers.

Email offers opportunity for you to place a signature; a permanent sales message on each e-memo sent.

Invite customers to comment on your services of invite suggestions. It is a cost effective mystery shopping opportunity to give your business a vital edge over rivals.

You have good news? Tell customers.

Staff promotions, awards are key selling points that identify your business and staff as being perfect for their needs.

If a member of a trade association or recipient of an award this information can be permanently included in your emails.

When the phone rings you are obliged to answer it, even if it is inconvenient for you to do so. Equally you might get your timing wrong when calling clients. Unlike the telephone call emails can be sent and replied to the convenience of you and your customers.

Email doesn’t cost anything to use. It avoids the costly and time inconvenience of postal deliveries. Email can effortlessly handle bulk information without bumping up the cost of sending it.

OPINION & COMMENT

Ashya’s rights trampled IT is possibly better not to put on paper one’s utter disgust and censure of the British oncologist who had been treating little Ashya King as well as the British police.

Every single person on earth or in this case the parents of this young boy - has the total right to decide to change a physician if he or she so wishes, especially as it is obvious that the parents and the physician were no longer seeing eye to eye as regards the boy’s treatment.

The actions of the parents, well thought-out and carefully planned, are more than commendable and should be applauded. It was not in anybody’s interest to have an international arrest warrant issued against them.

I applaud them fully and fervently wish a complete recovery for little Ashya! My heart bleeds for the family who were so barbarously torn apart.

Truly blessed…

I AM so excited by your recent article which I feel truly reflects my personality, and reflects the truth about my company, my team and my people.

Before I read your article I didn’t know what the word BLESSED meant, but today I do know what it means and I am thrilled; it is a really beautiful thing to be told that people feel ‘blessed’ when they are with me.

I gratefully extend my thanks to the whole team at Euro Weekly News for the wonderful article.

Rough remedy WITH worldwide rape atrocities by (mainly) men acting like animals, it is time they were treated like animals and neutered - castrated - as animals are.

But in a world run by men I can’t foresee any politician having the b--ls to bring this about, as all could lose theirs.

It starts in the home and children of both sexes should be educated in a better understanding of each other.

Laura, Turre (Almeria)

Spurious charges I AGREE 100 per cent with the ‘No means No’ headline in the Euro Weekly News regarding rape. I even agree that although a female wants to dress like a hooker this does not automatically mean that she is asking to be treated like one. At this point I would also like to digress and ask why hookers should not be afforded the same respect and consideration as other women.

But back to the subject of rape: what about ‘victims’ who are too drunk to accurately recall what really happened?

What about women who cry ‘Rape!’ simply for the hell of it or use the accusation as a lethal

weapon to take revenge?

While this happens, and while males can be named and shamed and dragged through courts on the whim of a resentful woman, ‘No means No’ will have a hollow ring to it for some people.

Fenced in TWO stories in last week’s paper really got my blood to boiling point, the first about circuses.

There was a circus in Torrevieja last week and there were three elephants in a small enclosed area, just swinging their heads back and forth. I passed on more than three occasions and each time it was the same.

To me this was disgusting cruelty as an elephant needs 200 litres of water a day and I would bet my life they didn’t get it. It’s time circuses were banned. They may be entertainment to some but not the animals.

The next was the story about immigrants being abused for trying to get into Spain. The fence is there to stop them so if they choose to climb over and disobey the law they have to expect repercussions.

Surely they don’t think the police are going to say, “Hi, come in and welcome. We only put the fence there as a joke!”

Coleen Bryan, Torrevieja (Alicante)

Credit crisis I AM non-resident in Spain but have a holiday home in Turre which I visit several times a year.

Up until June I owned a car which I kept at Almeria airport for my use when visiting Spain. I reinsured the car for a 12-month period in March 2014.

In June I decided to sell the car because I realised it was no longer financially viable for me to keep it and I will use hire cars in the future.

Having rescinded the policy I was told there was credit of €186 or so on my file but only available to me as part-payment against any future motor policy taken out.

The broker told me this is common practice among Spanish motor insurers but I have since established this is not the case.

Moral: check carefully.

THE ultimate bed shop

FEATURE

You’ll be spoilt for choice!

Advertising feature

SLEEP YOURSELF HAPPY with beds & more

EDS & MORE is a new shop brought to you by the team from Yorkshire Linen.

The Yorkshire Linen shop has been selling beds and mattresses for more than three years and as the bed section has become busier and busier, they have simply outgrown the space available in the current Fuengirola store.

So to ensure their customers have the best choice possible, they decided to expand by taking on a huge new store just two doors along from the current showroom.

With their highly competitive prices, superb range and outstanding level of customer care, they are going to work a little magic on the way we all buy our beds.

Using the same ethos which has seen Yorkshire Linen grow into one of the biggest and most trusted names on the coast, they pledge to help you ‘SLEEP YOURSELF HAPPY’!

Remember when you were young or when your kids were small and you would go to a reputable shoe shop to get your feet measured for length and width before selecting your shoes? The helpful shop assistant would be on hand to give sound advice to make sure that the shoes selected were not just the right fit but looked good and were within your budget.

That is how beds & more work when it comes to selecting the right bed for you.

While the construction of a mattress is highly important, your personal sleeping style, or position, is also a determining factor in what makes a good mattress for you. Unlike many bed companies, the dedicated staff ensure customers select the right mattress for them, rather than guiding them into buying simply what is in stock at the time.

The staff respect their clients’ needs DEDICATED STAFF: Vicki, Julie and Carl enough to take the plastic off the

mattresses - you may think this is funny but, shockingly, not all bed shops do this which allows customers to really get the feel of the mattress being tried out. After all, you are looking at making a choice that will affect how you sleep for many years to come.

Making it easy to choose the right mattress or bed for you Mattress technology has moved on so much in the last few years that it can be mind-boggling as to what type to buy and how much to spend, as well as whether or not you should need to replace the base as well.

At beds & more the ethos is to make it as easy as possible to choose the right mattress or bed for you. They have grouped mattresses into four groups: SOFT, MEDIUM SOFT, MEDIUM FIRM and FIRM into comfort stations and advise that you make sure you have a decent amount of time to come in and try out different

options. It is a common misconception that just because the mattress is the most expensive in the shop, it will be the best mattress for you, so TRY, TRY and TRY. The staff have undergone a huge amount of training in order to guide customers through the selection process by asking relevant questions about how you position yourself when sleeping and even going so far as to look at the weight difference between partners, as some mattresses and beds are better than others when one of the partners is a little heavier.

The pillow menu is another difference to many of the bed stores you will find locally, as they have on hand many different pillows. beds & more have everything from the finest goose-down to memory foam so that you can try out the mattresses with a pillow similar to the one you normally favour at home. Or, even better, bring your favourite pillow with you when you come in to test.

The friendly owners want this to be the type of shop that your elderly mum and dad would feel comfortable shopping in.

If you have a rental property, there are plenty of special offers and end of line stock deals to be had; the shop is already brimming with liquidated stock from the SPOT ON DESIGN who were well-known for the high quality rattan garden furniture.

All is discounted by 50 per cent or more from the original RRP, with everything from garden bars to patio sets at knockdown prices.

Not only are there beds but there is also a huge selection of rugs - more than 300 designs - many from UK suppliers that you will not find anywhere else in Spain.

If you are looking for ideas for bedside tables, chests of drawers , sofas, tables and chairs, lamps and unusual decoration, then pop in and be inspired! Many languages are spoken in the shop including English, Russian, German and Spanish.

For more information call 952 667 095 or email on info@bedsandmore.es Avenida de Andalucía (Av Carmen Saenz De Tejada), Nave 11, 29650 Mijas Costa, Málaga. On the road between Dunnes and Iceland.

DO get miffed when my blurb is misinterpreted and subsequently misquoted. At no stage in a previous column did I say that to counteract a possible uprising by militant Islamists, the UK needed an armed force of soldiers patrolling the streets - I saw enough of that in the dark days of Northern Ireland’s ‘Troubles’.

What I did, however, suggest was that we needed large numbers of heavily armed special forces, some 5,000 or so per large city, on call and ready to go into action at a moment’s notice.

I reiterate that by providing these forces they could nip any uprising attempt in the bud.

If rioting extremists are allowed to increase in numbers because they are met with inadequate means, i.e. soft police lines arm-in-arm, subsequently upped to police carrying plastic shields, followed

Get in early with a big stick and squash any mob uprising in the shortest possible time. This would also send out the message to other potential terrorists that their actions won’t be tolerated and if they do attempt to disrupt the country, they could be sampling their 72 virgins much earlier than they anticipated. In other words, don’t pussyfoot around!

EAN BAKER of qSkies Booking Service said: “I am a Manchester United fan and, as far as I understand it, they only get paid for the weeks they are actually available to play. But I think they should be more performance related rather than massively overpaying them whether they play or not. They get loads of wages as well as huge bonuses.”

Annina Dinkel from Centro Yogasana in Benissa commented: “It is ridiculous.” She said she found it strange that the sport had such high wages “when there are so many problems in the world.” With footballers getting so much money she would like to see more of them donating it and helping causes. “They should be encouraged to help more,” she said.

But Alex Childs from Alitrend Villas in Moraira disagrees: “It is not the players’ fault if the clubs are willing to pay that sort of money and it is Manchester United who ANNINA: Wages are ridiculous.

By the time they do set up a full-scale bombing campaign, these dangerous animals will have dug in so deep underground that nothing short of a nuke from the air will touch them.

(Didn’t they learn anything from Vietnam?)

They will then have no choice but to put ‘boots on the ground’ and here we all go again.

Are Ronaldo and Messi worth their money?

With the huge fees being paid for footballers, their wages have also gone through the roof, with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo having net annual salaries touching €20 million, plus endorsements and bonuses. Falcao has just signed for Manchester United for a reported €350,479.78 a week.

should be questioned about what they are paying. It is very much supply and demand. As long as the clubs are acting responsibly, who are we to start dictating about what players can earn?”

George Rae, of Complete Holiday Care, Mojacar Playa, thought the sort of wages paid now are too high. He said: “I just think it’s too much for them to earn. In this day and age so many are suffering so it’s not balanced. I think you could pay them a quarter of what they earn and they’d still perform to the same standard.”

Music festival MORE than 10,000 music fans had the time of their lives at the Gibraltar Music Festival held on Saturday and which saw over 30 local and international acts play in front of a sell-out crowd.

OPINION & COMMENT

POSSIBLY many of Marbella’s luxuries go unappreciated by the very people who benefit from them the most, the foreigners.

Many of us may not realise that our current local government inherited a debt of some €90 million from a past interim government together with many other adversities handed down from the corrupt ones prior to that.

This has meant that our Mayor, Angeles Muñoz, not only has to pay this amount back but also prove herself worthy of her post by making Marbella prosper and encourage tourism and new investment whilst doing so.

Not an easy task especially when faced with the added burden of insufficient funds coming in from the central Spanish Government.

In addition, there is the high influx of tourists at peak times of the year, and the many foreign residents that live in Marbella all year round, but who are not yet registered on the town census.

Mª ANGELES MUÑOZ & - HRH KING OF SPAIN FELIPE VI

Marbella – Fit for a king Viva Marbella...

With

Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio And, as if this were not enough, Marbella frequently finds itself without the support, or funding, of the Junta de Andalucía, for hospitals and schools, amongst many other amenities in our municipality, apparently due to a conflict of political interests with the local governing body.

However, in spite of all these odds and as a direct response to our town hall’s ingenuity and constant campaigns to compete for new, and affluent tourist markets, Marbella has experienced 90 per cent occupancy in all four- and fivestar hotels this summer and seen a significant increase in tourism and investors from all over the world; the Arab countries and

WELL-DESERVED: Marbella receives the Royal Seal of Approval from the new King of Spain, Felipe VI. Russia standing out in particular.

In spite of the conflict in Ukraine and the decrease in value of the rouble, Russians now make up 3.5 per cent of our international residents, which although small in comparison to the 30 per cent of British, is more than compensated for by their spending power, representing new investment, new businesses, in turn bringing new jobs and new opportunities for all.

Many jobs were also created and tourism generated thanks to some of the most important and spectacular events of the year being held in Marbella. These include the Starlite festival, just one of the 300 events since June that have enticed visitors, politicians and superstars alike, of all nationalities to our Marbella.

But it has to be the new King of Spain who just put the cherry

on the top of this summer’s statistics by pointing out in his inaugural speech at the XIX annual US-Spanish Forum last Friday, that not only is Marbella the dynamic leader of tourism in Spain but also the ideal international tourist destination to celebrate any prestigious forum.

So very well done, Marbella, and a big thank you - not just for such a successful season on all fronts, but for getting the Royal Seal of Approval for Marbella in the process - to Angeles Muñoz and her team.

Marbella is now officially, fit for a king!

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) With so much energy around you, it will be hard to concentrate on business matters.

Finances, however, do require your attention and a brief period of scrutiny will show you why. Someone close may be spending too much or undermining the situation by making big plans.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a creative week and one in which you seek to find your talents. For some time now you have toyed with the idea of joining a club or group. This will enhance your social life and bring you laughter.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Life can get complicated at this time of the year and you may feel pulled in more than one direction. You are perfectly entitled to change your mind about an arrangement.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) There are enough people in this world who will be willing to tell you what to do. Although it is in your nature to value your freedom, have you been compromising? Think of the time you have left to get to grips with a particular situation.

Your Stars

September 11, Bashar Al-Assad, 49. President of Syria. Took power on the death of his father in 2000. Worked as a doctor in the army before ascending to power.

September 13, Stella McCartney, 43. Fashion designer. Daughter of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, she earned fame in her own right as a fashion designer. She designed her first jacket aged 13 and then went on to a stellar (ahem!) career.

September 14, Sam Neill, 67. Actor.

The Irish born actor has been in Jurassic Park, In the Mouth of Madness, and The Hunt for Red October. He founded a winery in New Zealand called Two Paddocks Winery.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your opinion of someone is in the process of changing. It is not through any particular action of theirs towards you, rather it is a feeling that you should not be involved with their business. Trusting our instincts is something that we do not do enough.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There is a lightness to this week that is welcome. After more than a little bit of aggravation and frustration of late it is overdue.

Someone you believed had lost interest in you suddenly surfaces.

You may be unsure of how to react, so save judgment.

How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case G) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

September 15, Prince Harry, 30. Royal.

Younger son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana he is fourth in line to the throne.

Served in Afghanistan with the British Army for 77 days before being pulled out when the story was published by an Australian magazine.

TARGET: Average: 11 Good: 14 Very good: 20 Excellent: 24

September 15, Tommy Lee jones, 68. Actor.

This Texan actor won an Oscar for his role as US Marshal Samuel Gerard in The Fugitive.

September 17, Damon Hill, 54. Racing driver.

Son of the late Graham Hill, he remains the only son of a former World Champion to also win the title. He won the F1 championship with Williams in 1996.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) A need to listen to your innermost feelings and needs has perhaps been overlooked. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, philosophical thoughts are often pushed into a corner. Even so, you owe it to yourself to truly consider what you want as opposed to going along with what others want from you.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone you would not normally consider to be a friend shows an interest in you. Your immediate reaction may be joy or suspicion. In fact, you are not quite sure what to think. All the same, try to put aside preconceived ideas and give them a chance.

September 13: Soraya, Singer. The singer was born in Valencia de Alcantara and rose to fame after participating in Operacion Triunfo in 2005. She released her debut album Corazon de Fuego in 2005 and her second album Ochenta’s a year later. Soraya represented Spain in the Eurovision held in Moscow in 2009.

32

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Time is of the essence when pursuing a pet project this week.

Having been given the opportunity to go ahead with a plan, do not waste time. Some opportunities do not come twice so be sure to show your enthusiasm.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A close relationship seems to be changing. You need to know why and maybe believe that you do. However, be sure to get all the facts. Asking outright questions of the person involved is your best chance of getting the right answers. Someone may urge you to ‘read between the lines’ but it is hardly necessary.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) When you start to worry too much about things, it is time to take a step back. Senseless worrying is when you really cannot do anything to change the situation. Take into account how, in the past, worrying has affected your wellbeing. Maybe it is time to walk away and take another path entirely.

TOP TEN ELVIS PRESLEY SONGS

SPONSORED BY For solutions: http://www.euroweeklynews.com/puzzle-answers.html

Few would dispute that Elvis Presley is the King of Rock and Roll. Rising from humble circumstances, Presley would go on to launch a musical revolution with his charismatic stage presence, unique dancing and unequalled voice. Here is a list of 10 essential Presley songs every selfrespecting fan should know by heart.

1. That’s all right Written and originally performed by blues singer Arthur Crudup, ‘That’s all right’ was Presley’s first commercial single. Recorded on the evening of July 5, 1954 at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, the song features Presley on acoustic guitar and vocals, Bill Black on upright bass and Scotty Moore on electric guitar.

2. Mystery Train This song was originally recorded by American blues musician Junior Parker in 1953. Presley’s version was released two years later as a B-side to ‘I Forgot To Remember To Forget’ and was ranked the third most acclaimed song of 1955. It features Presley on rhythm guitar and vocals, Scotty Moore on lead guitar and Bill Black on bass.

3. Heartbreak Hotel Released as a single on January 27, 1956 under Presley’s new label RCA Victor, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton and was the first of many recordings to top the Billboard’s Top 100 chart. Its lyrics were inspired by a newspaper article about the suicide of a man who jumped from a hotel window.

4. Don’t be Cruel This song became a sensation after its release in 1956 thanks to its backing vocals and highly contagious groove. It was written by Otis Blackwell, who also penned Jerry Lee Lewis’ ‘Great Balls of Fire,’ and recorded in New York on July 2,

An engrossing journey BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

PUBLISHED in 2011, Before I go to sleep is the first novel by English writer S.J Watson.

It tells the enthralling story of a woman who loses the ability to create new memories. With the help of a doctor who specialises in memory disorders, Christine Lucas, 47, learns she suffers from a condition commonly referred to as

anterograde amnesia and discovers she has a son and is married to a man she cannot remember meeting.

With a diary she has been keeping, Christine embarks upon an engrossing journey to piece together her past and learn just how she ended up as she has.

Before I go to sleep became a bestseller in

1956. ‘Don’t be cruel’ is ranked as the 92nd best song of all time.

5. Jailhouse rock ‘Jailhouse rock’ was recorded on April 30, 1957 and released on September 24 in that same year and it may come as a surprise to some fans that some of the characters named in the lyrics are real people. For instance, Shifty Henry was a famous L.A musician and The Purple Gang, also known as Sugar House Gang, was a mob of bootleggers and hijackers founded in Michigan in the 1910s.

6. Viva Las Vegas This song is the title track of the eponymous 1964 film starring Elvis Presley and SwedishAmerican actress Ann Margret. Ever since its release on April 28 1964, ‘Viva Las Vegas’ has become one of Presley’s most recognised songs, but he never performed it live. ‘Viva Las Vegas’ reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.

France, Canada, Bulgaria and the Netherlands and has been translated into over 40 languages.

7. How Great Thou Art ‘How Great Thou Art’ is the title track of Presley’s second gospel album released in 1967. This Christian hymn is actually based on a poem written

by Carl Gustav Boberg called ‘O Store Gud’ (O Great God). Presley recorded it in Nashville and it became a staple of his live shows throughout the 70s.

8. In the Ghetto The touching lyrics tell the story of a young boy’s life of poverty in the inner-city. Written by Mac Davis, the song was Presley’s major comeback hit in 1969. It has been performed by many other artists, including Dolly Parton, The Cranberries, Candi Staton and Bobbie Gentry. It was later recorded in 2007 by Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley, to raise money for the Presley Foundation.

9. Suspicious Minds Written by American songwriter Mark James, ‘Suspicious Minds’ is one of Presley’s biggest hits.

This beautiful ballad, that is more soul and R&B than rock and country, is powered by Presley’s bellowing voice and by a vibrant horn section and would become his last number-one single in the US. 10. Burning Love This song was recorded by country soul artist Arthur Alexander, but Presley’s cover from 1972 became much more popular than the original version. It is the B-Side of It’s A Matter of Time and would reach the Top 40 of the country charts in the US. It features boogie piano, choirstyle vocals and a horn-laden chorus. A little bit of trivia: Presley once stated he did not care for the song and that he did not feel comfortable performing it.

Planning a Christmas holiday?

Start looking for Pet Sitters now By lamia Walker of HousesitMatch IT is never too early to start looking for petsitters if you’re planning a break away from home for Christmas or New Year.

There is one thing you can be sure of, you are not alone in looking for the most experienced, and the most recommended pet sitters who live locally!

Of course there will be competition for the popular sitters and what is more they too may be planning a little trip somewhere nice for the holidays.

So what can you do?

Here’s what one of our pet owners chose to do: Lynne from Alicante has five cats, and a lovely home in San Luis; she

also has a large family back in England and likes to go regularly to visit.

Christmas is a good time to see everyone.

To secure the best choice of pet sitters for her two week holiday she posted a housesitting advertisement online in July, specifically asking for a couple who love cats.

She found a housesitting couple from England who wanted a seasonal break in Spain.

As catsitters by profession they feel at home with a feline fur family like Lynne’s.

How to give a pill to a cat David THE Dogman

MANY people have asked me ‘How to give a cat a pill’ and with the help of Celia Haddon, here is the information you need. Getting pills into cats can be difficult.

Always ask for spot-on products, palatable or nice tasting pills, or for products that can be mixed with food, if possible. There is now something called Easytabs, a meat flavoured cover for a pill made by Bayer.

Another called Pill Pockets. You press the pill into the meat pellet. Clever stuff. Other medications may come in malt flavoured creams that can be wiped on to the cat’s mouth so that it

DIFFICULT TASK: Pills for cats. licks it off. If you have to give a pill, ask the vet for the smallest pill possible and the pill which will last longest. i.e. you want to give a pill once a day rather than four times a day if possible.

If you must administer a pill, this is how to do it. Kneel and place your cat

facing away from you between your knees. With thumb and middle finger, pull the cat’s head back until it is facing straight up at the ceiling. It is crucial that the cat’s head must be facing upwards at 90 degrees.

Use gentle pressure from thumb and middle finger on either side of the cat’s jaw, at rearmost crease of the lips, to open cat’s mouth. Pop tablet on the tongue as far back down the throat as possible. Close cat’s mouth and keep the head pointing up at the ceiling. Hey presto, the cat will swallow the pill.

Other good methods are featured on YouTube and also on www.fabcats.org.

For flea and worm treatments, ask for a spot-on rather than a pill. There are now spot-ons for both.

Is your pet drinking too much?

IS your pet is drinking too much water? Some pets drink more than others and cats may be very private about their water intake, but when it exceeds 10 per cent of their body weight (a 10-kilo dog drinking more than one litre a day) they are drinking too much.

If unable to monitor the water intake then you will notice the excessive urine production.

Urinating inside at night or a sopping litter tray are the most common observations.

Many illnesses can cause too much drinking: diabetes mellitus,

diabetes insipidus, pre-diabetes mellitus (non-spayed female dog), chronic kidney failure, Cushings syndrome, hyperthyroidism, heart disease, tumours or psychogenic.

The first step would be for you to collect a urine sample and make an appointment with your vet. After an

examination and urine analysis, blood tests might be necessary.

Many of these illnesses are controllable but need lifelong medication and monitoring.

More daft rules bureaucrats dreamed up earlier H

STRAWBERRY SAUCE: A refusal to serve on ice cream due to health and safety.

EARD about the child in Cardiff who was banned from going on a bouncy castle while wearing glasses although he couldn’t see without them? Or the Bedfordshire café that refused to put strawberry sauce on ice cream? Or the London schools that told parents not to put sun cream on their children’s limbs?

Or the dog show in Keswick, Cumbria, that banned the contests in which dogs caught Frisbees, in case the animals were injured?

A Myth Busters Challenge Panel set up by the UK’s Health and Safety Executive last October to counter the problem of daft regulations has, to date, received 300 complaints.

According to Judith Hackitt, the HSE chair: “Real health and safety is about protecting people in the workplace from life- and healththreatening risks – not about refusing to apply suntan lotion, or put sauce on an ice cream.

Health and safety has become an all too convenient excuse, which means the law is being applied

disproportionately or, more often than not, entirely erroneously.”

And Mark Harper, Minister for Disabled People, added: “Real healthand-safety laws exist to protect Britain’s workers, and not to be used as a smokescreen by jobsworths who have little knowledge of the law.”

But is the nit-picking aim of bureaucrats to enforce rules to the letter the sole cause of the problem?

Modern legislation certainly favours the setting up of a whole industry of people advising on ‘risk assessment’ and cracking down on infractions.

Or is it just as much the fear - in an age of ambulance-chasing law firms of very costly litigation? Probably a bit of both.

The Health and Safety Act was passed in 1974, but only in recent years has it been so misused.

Now everyone’s trying to cover their behinds in case there’s an accident they could be held responsible for (and hence sued for) - much of this petty regulation due to insurance companies, trying to minimise their liability by refusing to pay up. Remember the old mantra: “Where there’s blame there’s a claim...”

Isn’t the problem, then, a combination of the current ‘proactive’ nature of risk assessment - making rules to cover what might go wrong so the remotest risk, because it could happen, is legislated against - compounded by over-zealous interpretation by ambulance-chasers and jobsworths?

HEN proudly you turn your first car’s ignition key you do much more than switch on the engine. This is the key, if not to the universe, as close as you get to it. Like your first romance your first car is never forgotten and one has mixed memories about the experience.

With trepidation in my heart and £50 in my damp fist I became the owner of an Isle of Man registered Ford Prefect. There was good reason why I kangaroo-jumped out of the car sales shop front doorway. Clutch?

I had never before driven a car but knew the theory. To my undying shame I considered a driving licence and insurance as being surplus to requirements. The salesman was a retired policeman.

Back then things were far more relaxed.

Mid-shift bus drivers sank several pints. If you could wobble-walk a straight line you were sober. Seat belts were for pilots.

What followed was an unfortunate start to a lifetime’s driving experiences few of

Fur play: The shameful confessions of a Liverpool Cab Driver, the most memorable being the eccentric cat-loving lady client.

Her instruction each Sunday was that her

moggy be hosted by a kindly cab driver. He would spend a few hours driving Kitty around the city’s highlights. No sooner had the office door shut behind the dear lady was the cat dropped into a lidded tea chest and the hapless feline prisoner instructed to cat-nap.

Upon the credulous lady’s return a then much embroidered odyssey of cat heaven

tourism was described in detail before she was relieved of the cat’s fare.

Life and death on the by-ways of England was more relaxed, the police more understanding. I doubt very much if today I would receive a mere ticking off for overtaking a policeman’s car - especially when it was on a blue light emergency call.

On a later occasion I was irked by a ‘boy racer’ provocatively gunning his engine.

Rising to the challenge I led him and his passenger on a hair-raising chase through the city centre. Not my day; having caught up with me the two foxy cops flashed their warrant cards.

They had a sense of humour back then.

Having later crashed a milk float the attending officer drily remarked on the delightful glass verge.

This cocky cad cockily flipped a coin through the open car’s window into the Mersey Tunnel’s toll basket. Having rebuked the tunnel policeman that the damned barrier had failed to rise, the policeman coolly picked the coin up from the road, handed it to me and then suggested I place it properly in the basket.

Things were so much easier back then.

Hopefully the long arm of the law is not too telescopic.

If you regret that tattoo, remove it A SURVEY in Spain has shown that 60 per cent of people who have a tattoo regret it five years down the line, but are unsure about tattoo removal.

If you are thinking about getting one removed, here are some of the most frequently asked questions: How are they removed?

In most cases tattoos can be removed by a type of laser generating pulses of energy with a specific wavelength, which only acts on the ink pigment particles.

It removes 85-90 per cent of colours. Pink, yellow and white are the most resistant colours.

Are the results visible?

The results are visible after the first session but look better after 20-25

days, which is the time required for the body to remove ink particles through the lymphatic system. It can take between four to eight sessions to fully remove a tattoo.

Is it painful?

There is less pain in removing the tattoo than having the tattoo in the first place. However, you can apply anaesthetic cream 90 minutes beforehand.

Does it scar?

The area should not scar but it’s important to protect the area from the sun and use a moisturising cream and follow any advice from the specialist remover.

Can I have another tattoo on the area?

Experts say there is no problem in having another tattoo on the

area where one has been removed as long as the specialist’s tips are followed.

Alberts Bar and Grill in Cabopin THE sun beating down, the water lapping in the harbour, and Sunday lunch at Alberts….

That has been the scenario in Puerto Cabopino for more years than most people can remember.

Alberts Bar & Grill is without a doubt a Costa del Sol institution and it is easy to see why.

From the moment you enter you are greeted by the friendly, smart staff who show you to one of their terrace tables overlooking (indeed just a few metres away from) the yachts and boats in the pleasure harbour.

It is truly an idyllic spot to dine any time of the week, but there is something special about Sunday lunch.

Alberts knows what the perfect Sunday lunch should be - great

food and great views all in a relaxed setting.

To achieve that the efficient staff are attentive without being overbearingly in your face, whilst the live music is pitched at just the right level to keep customers entertained without stifling conversation.

The service, ambience and setting all combine to make the perfect spot for a meal, but of course that would all be for nought if the food was not up to scratch. But that is not a problem at Alberts, the food is excellent. The Sunday lunch menu is varied and has something for everyone.

You can choose between one, two or three courses, with the prices starting from €14.95, and each dish is cooked with the care and attention

The roasted entrecote of beef, served of course with Yorkshire pudding, was tender and juicy and served rare, medium or well done, and there was plenty of it, while my second son went for the fish of the day, in this case salmon, which was again perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce and boiled new potatoes.

The home-made pie of the day - cottage pie last Sunday - roast pork and free range chicken were also tempting,

perhaps to try on another day.

Alberts make a feature of the roasts, with the meat carved to order by the chef on the large terrace.

Then to finish off I went for the Baileys, croissant and butter pudding which was a delicious twist on a traditional dessert. The crème brulee was perfectly caramelised and the orange parfait with chocolate sauce was another star turn.

It is easy to see why

IDYLLIC SPOT: Overlooking the harbour.

Alberts has become an institution and with the food, service and

ambience on offer it will long continue to be so.

A Vintage world of fashion and more FASHIONISTAS all over the Costa del Sol have a new meeting-point in Fuengirola where they can hunt for hidden gems.

Vintage is a unique showroom and fashion shop catering for all things vintage: designer bags, clothing, interior design articles and art, etc, ranging from affordable brands to haute couture designer labels.

Natalia Pavloska, owner of Vintage, said: “We are the first shop and showroom of this kind to open in Fuengirola. Everything we sell is in good condition and a lot of the stock on display is made by fashion designers from Milan, London, Paris… you name it! Our stock changes constantly and is interesting even just to browse through.

Clients can find treasures such as

Zegna, Versace or Dior.”

When asked about her new venture, Natalia, a designer enamoured with fashion herself, explained: “I had various other businesses before, but fashion is my passion. Although I was busy making my own line of dresses and evening gowns, I found

the perfect site, with two floors in a very

central location Fuengirola, and

in I

decided to go for it. In the future, we will open the second floor, but for the time being, we are very busy with the ground floor, building our website, etc.

“We have only been opened for two-and-ahalf months.”

The articles on sale are assessed and valued before they are put on sale.

Their broad selection includes watches, sunglasses, dresses, porcelain as well as antiques, some furniture and paintings. “We want to keep the shop an eclectic and interesting place,” Natalia said.

The cosmopolitan

nature of Fuengirola, with tourists visiting all year round has already had an impact in Vintage. “We are very fortunate to have an incredibly central location, very close to Las Rampas in Fuengirola. Locals and visitors love our stuff, but it is people from the UK who have become our top customers. They really enjoy browsing and there is always stuff to suit every budget, from €1 to €2,000.”

New pests on the attack DURING the past week, two friends have telephoned about their latest gardening woes.

The first had just discovered that a large clump of aloes had been killed by aloe snout weevils ‘Scyphophorus acupunctatus,’ a new-problem-inSpain-insect that has taken about three years to arrive on the Costa Blanca from the Costa de la Luz. Unfortunately, like the palm weevil, there is no really effective treatment for diseased plants. The insects are brownish and 15 to 30 centimetres in length.

The second friend had just discovered that both their tall specimen Phoenix palms had succumbed to the red palm weevil ‘Rhynchophorus ferrugineus’ in spite of being treated, so a crane lorry will arrive shortly to cut them down and remove them. This weevil is also a type of snout weevil but can be 30 to 50 millimetres long.

I am not aware of how the aloe weevil came to Spain but the palm weevil is said to have been imported into Andalucia in 1994 in a batch of

diseased palm trees. By 2006, the flying weevils had spread to France.

Although destroying the tropical image of the coastline, village squares and gardens, it has not been the most damaging problem to Spain’s floral image. That spot must be taken by the African Geranium moths ‘Cacyreus marshalli,’ or ‘Tespis Tespis,’ which arrived in the early 1990s, apparently in a lorry load of geraniums from a Dutch greenhouse.

Again it took just a few years to spread along the costas and then inland. Gone now are the large banks of cascading geraniums and apartment-covered geraniums that last for a decade or more. Even planting garlic segments in geranium pots and spraying twice a week with a spray is not a total solution, for abandoned plants in absentee

owner gardens and apartments can be a virulant breeding ground.

Other pests that have become a bother during the past 25 years are the Cirtus minero moth and the many fruit flies attacking citrus and other fruit trees, tuti flies attacking tomatoes and many other fly-type insects attacking vegetables.

I have just read an interesting research paper about citrus pests of importance to the Spanish citrus industry where markets like no blemishes on the skins and any attacks to leaves and flowers can reduce the productivity of trees.

The paper reported that for the past 45 years there has been a new imported insect pest every three years with eight in just the past 10 years.

From our experience the best thing that expat amateur gardeners can do is to spray fruit trees and diseased vegetable plants regularly with neem oil solutions in water. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com September 2014

“I had been on holidays in this part of Spain since 1987 and I had always dreamt of retiring here,” he said. Like many of his customers, he fell in love with the place. “One day I realised that I wanted to live here and I moved 12 years ago.”

With so much local knowledge and connections, he founded WOW Real Estate four years ago to help others make their dream come true. “At first most of our clients were from the UK, whereas now the place is much more cosmopolitan with clients from the north of Europe and Russia as well.”

GLASS CURTAINS: Your view is never interrupted.

Advertising feature

The perfect living space solution VERSATILITY and great looks make Elite Glass Curtains the perfect solution for anyone looking for extra living space.

Glass Curtains are a totally vertical frameless glass system specifically designed for balconies, terraces and patios. This system allows a series of frameless glass panels to be completely open, completely closed or a combination of both … the choice is yours.

When closed, Glass Curtains protect and reduce the effect of wind, rain, dust and noise. When open, your terrace is back to summer mode and because Glass Curtains are

totally frameless, your view is never interrupted.

Glass Curtains provide a completely flush internal and external appearance, they are aesthetically attractive and because glass is pleasing to the eye, Elite Glass Curtains enhance the appearance of your home.

Elite Glass Curtains are crafted to your exact specifications and are manufactured to bespoke design.

Safety and simplicity are at the heart of the system which is extremely safe; the glass used is 10mm tempered safety glass.

This is a way of creating more living space without sacrificing anything and with a bonus - the addition of Glass Curtains can increase the value of your home.

Elite Glass Curtains installation is bespoke and since every installation is different, any type of terrace or balcony can be catered for: whether it be straight, curved, short or tall we can design the perfect solution. Elite Glass Curtains are perfect for apartments, townhouses and villas but they are also ideal for restaurants and bars. The possibilities are almost endless.

Glass Curtains are mounted on powder coated aluminium profile tracks top and bottom and have the additional benefit over

conventional framed windows in that they can be fully closed, fully open or opened on a panel by panel basis.

Apart from the aesthetics and obviously the undisturbed views, Glass Curtains offer a whole host of benefits over conventional framed windows, including (but not limited) to: • Elite Glass Curtains give you the ability to use your balcony, patio or terrace... all year round.

• Elite Glass Curtains shelter you from wind and rain.

• Elite Glass Curtains help reduce the need for cleaning.

• Elite Glass Curtains reduce noise levels... No more noisy neighbours!

• Elite Glass Curtains add valuable space to your living area.

• Elite Glass Curtains are easy to clean... from the inside!

• Elite Glass Curtains are tailor made for your property and your requirements.

• Elite Glass Curtains add value to your property.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

The four rings keep growing AUDI has maintained its path of growth worldwide in August: sales rose 5.6 per cent to around 125,300 cars.

This brings the total number of cus-tomers who have chosen an Audi since the start of the year to around 1,138,700, an increase of 10.5 per cent.

www.euroweeklynews.com

The four rings grew particularly strongly in North America in August, increasing sales by 22.6 per cent year on year.

“Worldwide demand for our automobiles continues to develop positively even if the economic environment in certain markets remains challenging. Regarding our

deliveries total, we are confident of selling 1.7 million cars by the end of the year,” said Luca de Meo, Member of the Board of Management for Sales at AUDI AG. “As well as the A3 family, the popular A6 derivatives in particular and also the successful Q models are providing

steady growth rates.”

In August, most notably the Audi Q3 lifted the sales total with an increase of 40 per cent compared with the same month of the previous year. There was lively demand for the compact SUV in the UK (+25.3 per cent) and China, where sales of this model more than doubled.

The Q3 has also been available in the US market since the end of August and will further strengthen sales of Audi’s family of SUV models there.

With 17,101 deliveries (+22.1 per cent) in the US, Audi maintained its successful track record on the North American continent in August.

They offer fully-licensed providers across the UK at a predetermined fixed price; you can use their online airport transport and taxi fare calculator to get an accurate quote in seconds, even better they accept all major credit cards and Paypal.

Sean is also understandably proud of the discreet executive

chauffeur service that qSkies offers: “We have looked after many celebrities including John Travolta and Shane Richie.”

Three Spaniards in the Ryder Cup Paul McGinley, captain of the European Team at the Ryder Cup 2014, will count on the support of three Spaniards who, no doubt, will prove vital if Europe are to retain the trophy at The Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire (Scotland): Sergio García, classified on his own merits, plus José Mari Olazábal and Miguel

Ángel Jiménez, in whom the Irishman is placing his trust as two of his vice-captains.

José Mari Olazábal, from Guipúzcoa in the Basque Country, has formed part of the European team on no less than eleven occasions: seven times as a player (1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2006) and vice-captain in 2008 and

2010 under the orders of Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie respectively.

In 2012, as captain, he marshalled his team to one of this sport’s greatest ever triumphs, going down in folklore as the: “Miracle of Medinah”. It should not be overlooked that, along with his great friend Seve Ballesteros, Jose forms the best ever pairing in the history of the Ryder Cup. Miguel Ángel Jiménez from Churriana needs no introduction on this page.

His first taste of the Ryder Cup was in 1997 as the right-hand man of Seve Ballesteros at Valderrama (Cádiz) ending after three rain-sodden days with victory for the home continent. As a player he has been involved in four editions: 1999, 2004, 2008 and 2010. In 2012 he again lent his experience acting as vice-captain for his friend Olazábal, and lighting more than a few cigars along the way.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez was in the running to qualify for the team on merit after a marvellous start to the season. Alas, it wasn’t to be.

Paul McGinley was in no doubt as to the merits of the two Spaniards.

This will be Sergio García’s eighth Ryder Cup after he made his debut in 1999.

FOOTBALL – Recent opening qualifying games for the 2016 European Championships saw Germany beat Scotland 2-1 and England beat Switzerland 2-0.

This weekend it’s back to Premiership and Championship action, the top games being Arsenal-Manchester City, Liverpool-Aston Villa and Manchester United-QPR. FORMULA 1 – Driving brilliantly and majestically after a poor start, Lewis Hamilton won last Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza in great style. His Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg was second with Felipe Massa third. Rosberg

now leads the driver’s championship by 22 points from Hamilton.

• This weekend the drivers, crews and cars are in Misano for the San Marino Grand Prix.

by Marin Cilic who then beat Kei Nishikori, the first Asian ever to make a Grand Slam final, in three sets.

Serena Williams clinched her 18th Grand Slam title by beating Caroline Wozniacki in the women’s final while the Bryan twins won their 100th major doubles title.

ATHLETICS – Last Sunday, Mo Farah became the first Brit since 1985 to win the Great North Run with his colleague Mike Kigen

GOLF – American Billy Horschel won the BMW championship in Denver by two shots from Bubba Watson...

And in May there could

also be a contest between Kell Brook (who was stabbed in Tenerife earlier this month) and Amir Khan at Wembley.

• After winning the Test series and losing the ODIs, England (180-7) beat India (177-5) by three runs in the recent 20/20 over game at Edgbaston.

• Yorkshire are on course to win the County Cricket title for the first time since 2001 while Worcestershire and Hampshire will replace Northants and Lancashire in the top flight, one of them coming up as Division 2 champions.

• This weekend, for horse racing fans, we have the St Leger from Doncaster.

• A crowd of 40,181 saw last Wednesday’s EnglandNorway international - the lowest at Wembley (old or new) for 30 years.

• And Colin Turkington won the latest BTCC race

at Rockingham.

RUGBY UNION My forecast as to where the teams will finish in 2014/15: Bath will be disrupted by international calls (4th)... Exeter have a fine crop of inexperienced tyros (10th)... Gloucester have a combative, welldrilled pack (6th)...

Harlequins will miss their England stars (5th)...

Leicester are hungry for success (3rd)... London Irish lack firepower (9th)... London Welsh await a survival battle (11th)... Newcastle will struggle in attack (12th)...

Northampton’s international calls will derail their challenge (2nd)...

Sale have lost many key players (7th)... Saracens have great depth and are well coached (champions)... Wasps will grind out wins, but how many? (8th).
