Fire season figures show a reduction
MALAGA Province lost 382.84 hectares of land to fire during the high-risk season, a 72.22 per cent reduction on the yearly average for the last decade. Almost 47 per cent of forest fires registered were caused by negligence and 30 per cent were deliberate. Andalucian government delegate Jose Luis Ruiz Espejo explained that out of 154 fires in the province extinguished by firefighters, 84 were forest fires and the remaining 70 were agricultural or town
fires. He added that although figures were good, the average for the decade took into account the great Barranco Blanco fire of 2012, which boosted figures. While the number of fires started deliberately has dropped thanks to work and investigations by the police, those caused by negligence have risen with more public awareness needed. “The fight against forest fires is everyone’s fight,” the delegate declared.

TOURISM figures so far this year are pointing to 2014 ending with a total of approximately 45 million hotel stays in Andalucia, which would make it the best year in history with a 4.3 per cent increase compared to figures for last year. Reports place the area ahead of more exotic holiday destinations including Argentina, Brazil and
Dominican Republic. Susana Diaz - president of the Junta de Andalucia regional government - offered these positive estimated figures during the first day of the World Travel Market at London’s Excel centre and promised that the budget for next year will see no cutbacks for the tourism sector. Diaz explained that tourism is
Andalucia’s best chance of recovering financially and the regional government intends to maintain the tourism budget and add new projects including creation of new products to combat seasonal fluctuations, specific plans for cities with more than 100,000 residents and schemes to help tourism businesses of all sizes.

The cave’s entrance is said to look like a cat’s face (hence the name ‘Cueva del Gato) and the entrance is as far as most people have ventured, apart from the caving experts who come from all over the world to explore its caverns and tunnels. Several people have died due to flash-flooding and rising waters, and a notice at the entrance warns visitors not to go any further. However, experts are now assessing the possibility of opening up a section of Cueva del Gato to visitors with safety measures being put in place.

Editor Put down the razor ‘Movember’ is here A note from the
I
T’S November already and in just a few short weeks our thoughts will begin turning to the Christmas season; a season that seems to enjoy a longer build-up as each year goes by. But before we start humming Christmas tunes and getting the decorations down from the attic, we have November to contend with, a time when the days and nights get that little bit colder, darkness descends that bit earlier, and facial hair on the upper lips of men seems to sprout from nowhere. So why the proliferation of moustaches of all shapes and sizes on men that otherwise spend the rest of the year clean-shaven? Why it’s ‘Movember’ of course. Growing in popularity each year, Movember is the month when men of all ages and from different walks of life
grow a moustache in order to raise money and awareness for men’s health, in particular prostate and testicular cancer. From humble beginnings back in 2004 when a group of 30 friends in Australia decided to grow moustaches during November, the Movember Foundation now boasts around four million ‘mo bros’ worldwide and has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for men’s health. The trend has caught on in Spain, with the country being one of 21 countries across the world that participates in Movember. So don’t be too surprised if you notice a lot of dodgy-looking moustaches doing the rounds during Movember. It’s all for a good cause and we here at EWN will always support a good cause. Good luck boys!

It incorporates the 500square-metre conference hall, which will be used for cultural events, classes, dinners, small concerts and much more, along with shops, language institutes, the Russian radio station Radio Smile and the stunning clothes shop, designed and decorated by Yamir herself.
The night started with cocktails and canapés, whilst the media and TV crews waited to get photos and interviews with the coast’s famous residents. Mayor Angeles Muñoz arrived with delegates from the town hall and by 9pm, the hall was filled with Marbella’s elite. Mariana Zhytariuk, the director of Radio Smile, thanked everyone for coming. Teresa Chabane spoke about the integration of the Russian community into the area, and Angeles Muñoz began her speech by saying a few words in her best Russian to the smiling audience.

CRIMES of robbery with violence and intimidation have plunged 23.1 per cent in Andalucia so far this year. Latest figures show that as part of an overall drop in crime of 6.9 per cent, the biggest success has been in robberies where people fear for their safety.

And the US Embassy in Spain has been inundated with calls from American producers now wanting to shoot in Spain, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The decision to film parts of Season Five of the hugely popular HBO fantasy series in Sevilla and Osuna has already had a direct impact on the area. US Ambassador to Spain, James Costos, himself a former HBO executive, said initial figures show tourism has gone up by around 15 per cent since filming began two weeks ago. “Spanish culture is an important element for the Spain brand, which the Spanish Government and the embassy actively

TIED UP: Fishermen protested for a day.
Fishermen v gas LOCAL fishermen tied up their boats for a day in protest at failing catches which they blame squarely on gas exploration off the coast of Mijas and Fuengirola. Fishermen from the two municipalities’ fleets were joined by colleagues from Malaga and Velez-Malaga in the protest, complaining that they have seen the catch of some species drop by as much as 75 per cent compared to last year, since the exploration started. Worst hit has been the catch of whiting which has plunged by three quarters, while that of langoustine is down 40 per cent. The fishermen say the drop cannot be due
to overfishing as the fleet has shrunk by 50 per cent in two years to about 250 boats in Malaga Province. Jose Luis Guerrero, President of the Brotherhood of Fishermen of Malaga, said: “Where there have been no tests for hydrocarbons there are fish.” He added that some sea species like dolphins that normally stay in deep water have been spotted close to the coast, a situation that is not normal. The fishermen feel that the first phase of offshore exploration is sending out acoustic signals which are disorientating the fish and affecting their behaviour.

Isabel Pantoja to lose her Andalucia medal ISABEL PANTOJA’S conviction could end up costing her the prestigious Andalucia medal. The Junta de Andalucia regional government is reportedly taking the preliminary steps necessary to annul the official decree that awarded iconic singer Pantoja the distinguished decoration more than 10 years ago. The action is being taken following her conviction for money laundering, for which she could serve 24 months in prison and end up paying a €1.1 million fine. The Junta’s decision must now be ratified by the Government Council. Pantoja was presented with the medal in 2002 by former President of the Junta Manuel Chavez at a ceremony also attended by her son Francisco and her daughter Isabel. The medal was officially created in 1985 and is awarded to Spanish or foreign individuals
or groups in recognition for their outstanding contribution to society. It can, however, be taken away if the recipient is convicted of a crime. Meanwhile, lawyers defending Isabel Pantoja have asked for a period of grace to enable the singer to meet her professional obligations regarding concerts planned in Oviedo, Madrid and Barcelona, for which tickets have already been sold. Pantoja –
via her lawyers – sent a letter to Malaga Provincial Court asking not to be sent to prison until after December 15 if her appeal is not accepted following the decision on Monday November 3 by the court that she must serve her prison sentence. Lawyers also made a further payment of €47,148 towards the fine she has to pay, leaving an outstanding amount of €1 million. STRIPPED: Pantoja may have to hand back the prestigious award.

Soldiers not charged with beating Iraqis FIVE Spanish soldiers who were under investigation for allegedly abusing two prisoners at a base in Diwaniya, Iraq, will not be charged by a military court, at least for the time being. The five current and former members of La Legion military unit could have faced between 10 and 25 years if found guilty of beating the prisoners. The case came to light in 2013 when Spanish national newspaper El Pais published a video apparently showing three soldiers kicking two men in a cell while being watched
by three other soldiers. The five men under investigation were a captain who now works in the national intelligence Centre (CNI), two corporals, one of whom has since left the legion and joined the Guardia Civil, and two legionnaires who have also since joined the Guardia Civil. The military court decided not to pursue a prosecution despite there being no doubts about the authenticity of the video footage or the identities of the soldiers involved. Instead it made its decision because of doubts over the
status of the prisoners. The court decided that the Geneva Convention protecting prisoners of war does not extend to terrorists. The court then decided that it was possible the victims could have been two of three alleged terrorists transferred to the base in January 2004 accused of being involved in a mortar attack against a US base in Iraq. The suspects could still face trial as the military tribunal has ordered the original investigating judge to identify the victims of the beatings to see what category they came under - prisoners of war or terrorists. But that could be extremely hard to do as the army says it has lost the records of detainees held in Iraq by the Spanish army. A possible case in the civilian courts is thought to be not practical as the statute of limitations for the offences may have run out.

Search to start for Garcia Lorca’s remains in Granada ARCHAEOLOGISTS could be on the brink of solving one of Spain’s most enduring mysteries - where is the burial site of 20th century poet Federico Garcia Lorca? The famous poet is believed to have been killed by militias loyal to Franco at the start of the Civil
War in 1936, when he was 38years-old. However, Garcia Lorca’s body has never been found, and an area close to Granada is now to be searched using modern day technology. Starting on November 17, experts will use radar to send pulses through a 3,200 square
foot piece of land on a hillside near Granada, to determine if there are any bodies buried there. If signs of bones are detected, a dig may go ahead to excavate the bones for analysis. The Granada-born radical poet and playwright is believed to have been one of tens of
thousands of civilians killed during Spain’s bloody 1936-1939 civil war. Garcia Lorca is best known for his poems ‘Gypsy Ballads’ and ‘Blood Wedding.’ He remains one of Spain’s most respected and renowned poets. A dig in 2009 near Alfacar in Granada yielded no remains.

Avalon expands across Europe
A
VALON, the leading provider of pre-paid funeral plans, saw its business grow substantially in the year to September 2014, with the help of a sustained campaign in the Euro Weekly News. Driving the growth is a huge increase in the number of enquiries the company is receiving from people concerned about increasing funeral costs. Website and head office enquiries were up by 300 per cent, as were sales leads generated by stands at exhibitions and other events. These have led to an expanded geographical spread of customers and a 99.2 per cent increase in the number of funeral plans written since July 2013. Between July 2013 and July 2014, Avalon gained its first customers in Portugal, Malta and the Spanish regions of Seville, Jaen and Cordoba. The company has opened an office in the Costa del Sol and has plans to open a branch in Almeria. Avalon is now offering even more employment opportunities to UK
expatriates living in Spain and across Europe. Numbers in Europe now match the UK, having grown by 42 per cent, from 41 in July 2013 to 58 in September 2014. Jason Gardner, Head of Europe at Avalon, said: “People realise that funerals costs will keep rising.” He added: “Unsurprisingly, they are taking steps to protect their loved ones from the substantial implications of these rises by contemplating prepaid funeral plans with serious intent. “As a consequence, we have nearly doubled our number of written plans in the year to September 2013.” Avalon protects customers from rising funeral costs and the worry of arranging a funeral when the time comes, which can be complex outside the UK. Avalon’s three compre-hensive packages, Balmoral, Windsor Way and Britannia, are available in Spain, Portugal and Tenerife. Alternative plans are available for customers residing in Cyprus, Malta and Turkey.

Police arrest alleged fraudsters for buying bankrupt businesses NATIONAL POLICE officers dismantled a gang of alleged fraudsters that would reportedly buy bankrupt business corporations using promissory notes without sufficient funds or issued by
third parties. The detained - four men and a woman between 36 and 45 years of age - could face charges of fraud, money laundering and belonging to a criminal organisation. Four of
them were arrested in Malaga and one in Sevilla, said police. Their alleged criminal activities are believed to have targeted at least six people, four in Malaga and two in Valencia.
According to the police, the purported fraudsters - fully aware of the difficult situation facing their potential victims would tell them they wanted to buy their businesses which had either gone into bankruptcy or
that were going through a difficult financial situation. Once an agreement had been reached, they would pay them with promissory notes the victims could not collect on because they lacked the necessary funds. The judge in charge of the investigation ordered 15 cars valued at €80,000 impounded, blocked 32 bank accounts and seized nine properties valued at €1.1 million.

Hola Credito smoothes bumpy cash flow for self-employed
Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender. In our weekly column we look at different financial products that Hola Credito offers - this week - bridging a gap between jobs BEING self-employed can be great in so many ways - choosing the jobs you want, working when you want, and only working with the right people. In reality the lack of a regular job can mean an irregular monthly income, and that can cause havoc with financial planning. For one Hola Credito client, this is a regular problem, as he is self-employed, and most of his work is in holiday periods like the summer. But when his employment falls off, he turns to Hola Credito for a short-term cash injection to see him through to the next contract. “I get most of my yearly income during the holiday periods, the summer, Easter and Christmas. Normally I can earn enough money to see me comfortably through the quiet times, but sometimes I need a bit of help,” he said. “This year I had a good summer, but some unexpected expenses meant I needed extra cash until my work picked up again at Christmas. I’ve used Hola Credito
before, so I know what good interest rates it offers, and I can plan for when my work picks up again.” The client called Hola Credito, and using the same family jewellery he had used before as security, arranged a shortterm loan that would see him through until his next job contract. The Puerto Banus based company calculates interest on a daily basis, so the client only pays interest on the number of days of the loan, and because Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) is largely an online and telephone based company it has very low overheads, and offers very competitive interest rates. There are also no hidden charges or management fees, and unlike traditional lenders, no arduous credit checks or lengthy paperwork. In most cases a loan can be agreed quickly and the money transferred the next day. As well as jewellery Hola Credito accepts luxury assets like precious metals and stones, and cars as security.

Malaga: the face of world poverty LA PALMA-PALMILLA in Malaga will be portrayed in a study conducted by UNICEF on the negative effects of the recession on children. The study - titled ‘Children in the recession: how the crisis affects children in rich countries’ shows that solid social protection policies play a decisive role in preventing poverty. The testimony video of Encarni Delgado Rodriguez, 12, whose family was hard hit by the economic crisis, exemplifies like no other the aftermath of the recession and its far-reaching repercussions on many needy households.

Linea Directa: electrical damage
TYPES of electrical disruptions Power surges such as lightning bolts can send up to 1,000 volts of electricity through any cable, line or wire that connects your home equipment to the outside world. These power increases can affect software, delete data and destroy all electronic circuits designed to handle only 220 volts. These incidents may cause fires from overloaded panels and will result in the expense of replacing equipment. But not all surges result from lightning strikes. Peak demands for air conditioning in the summer may cause a temporary loss of power in your area. This can cut power to your home suddenly and without warning. Protection from power surges You can also protect your property from power surges and help protect particular appliances in your home. Power surge protection devices will protect your home from most fluctuations in electrical supply. But you can also check your home insurance policy to see what is covered in
the event of electrical damage. Linea Directa home insurance covers appliances affected by power spikes resulting from irregular currents, short circuits or other causes, even if no fire occurs. Peace-of-mind with Linea Directa Linea Directa covers electric damage to devices, appliances and electrical installations up to 12,000€ guaranteed, without excess and with no limit to the number of claims made per year. To make a claim is simple. Just call one of our English-speaking customer service teams to confirm your policy covers the claim. We will also resolve any queries. How long will it take to sort out a claim? Some claims will be easier to process than others, however when you call Linea Directa, one of our trained representatives will check your policy to confirm if your claim is covered. We recommend you read our standard policy booklet and your schedule of cover prior to calling in a claim.

Minister ‘should go’ over dog’s death husband were in quarantine. Excalibur’s death provoked widespread protests, with demonstrators taking to the streets of Madrid calling for the resignation of Mato. Many pointed out that the pet of an American nurse who had been diagnosed with Ebola was not destroyed, instead it was put in quarantine, and they wondered why that could not have happened with Excalibur. After a previous Ebola outbreak in 2002 tests concluded that dogs could
contract the virus, although it would appear they do not become sick. There is no documented evidence of a dog passing Ebola to a human, although it is thought it may be possible for them to pass on the infection through a bite or licking. Teresa has since been found to have fought off the virus and has now been moved out of quarantine into a general ward in a Sevilla hospital. She has said the worst part of the disease was losing Excalibur. Karol Kozlowski / Shutterstock.com

Flight prices may rise after ruling AIRLINE passengers may face price hikes thanks to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in the UK involving among others - a flight from Malaga airport. An Appeal Court decision was upheld in the Supreme Court this week, allowing compensation payments to passengers who face flight delays due to technical faults. It means that cases in which money is claimed back could cost the airline industry as much as £4.8 billion (€6 billion). However, aviation experts have warned that airlines will pass the cost of compensation on to the consumer. The issue arose in
2011 when a UK passenger suffered a 27hour delay on a Jet2 flight from Malaga to Manchester. The Appeal Court decision to side with the passenger was made in July 2014, and upheld in the Supreme Court this week following appeals by Jet2 and Thomson, for a separate case. The original decision in the Malaga incident was that the passenger was entitled to compensation under European Union regulations after suffering ‘no little inconvenience’ for the long delay. Judges have ruled that delays due to technical faults are the sole responsibility of the airlines, and the decision
could pave the way for thousands of new claims. Claims from as long as six years ago could be heard, opening the floodgates for passenger claims and possibly costing the industry billions of pounds. A spokesperson for Monarch Airlines told MailOnline: “Like the rest of the industry we are disappointed by today’s ruling by the Supreme Court. The current application of Regulation EU261 has been extended beyond its original scope and does not offer a fair model for low cost, leisure airlines. Ultimately, the customer will end up bearing additional costs through increased fares across the industry.”

Help Keira have a better life By Dilip Kuner THE mother of cerebral palsy sufferer Keira Alvarez Turner is doing a sponsored head shave to raise funds for desperately-needed specialist treatment for her daughter. Keira, who is six-and-a-half years old, needs €15,000 to travel to the US for the specialist care which makes a huge difference to the quality of her life. Last year, Euro Weekly News (EWN) reported on her need for funds, and generous readers along with the Moraira Charity Shop, Original Charity Shop Javea, Eurochange and Liars Bar rallied round to raise the thousands of euros needed for treatment within just a few days. That money was spent on treatments in Spain in 2013. Now she has booked a third trip to Orlando for August 2, 2015, and is launching her fundraising effort with a sponsored head shave at Benidorm’s Levis Showboat bar on Wednesday, November 12, at around midnight. Debbie explained she has had to put off fundraising for Keira this year as she needed to devote time to her son, Rylee, four, who has autism. “Fundraising takes up so much time, and I just had to give
my attention to Rylee as he was having schooling problems. So, 2014 was the first year since 2010 that Keira did not have intensive therasuit therapy. “But now it is Keira’s turn again.

They stressed there is no risk of contracting the disease at home, and that the holidays would be ‘better spent in Russia.’ RUSSIAN WORLD CUP: The 2018 logo. PHOTO

STAT OF WEEK MADRID’S 1,346 agrifood companies represent 7 per cent of the region’s GDP and provides 17,000 people with jobs. With a turnover of €3.8 billion, it exported products worth €1.150 billion in 2013.
SPANISH banks encountered no problems meeting the latest European Central Bank’s stress tests. The banks of 22 European countries were put to the test and Spain was ranked in 10th position. This was a far cry from 2012 when Bankia, one of the country’s biggest banks,
TESTS: ECB passed Spain’s banks.
No super-money for super-chefs THE 82 Michelin stars awarded to 25 Spanish restaurants have not conferred immediate riches. Eneko Atxa, whose restaurant Azurmendi near Bilbao boasts the maximum three stars, has a profit-tosales ratio of around 4 per cent a year. So does his fellow superchef Nacho Manzano who runs the two-star Casa Marcial in Arriondas (Asturias). For Martin Berasategui and Juan Mari Arzak, both based in San Sebastian, the ratio rises to 9 and 15 per cent respectively, but this is as good as it gets. David Muñoz, another respected chef, has revolutionised Spanish
gastronomy at his Madrid restaurant DiverXo, but lost €80,000 in 2012 according to his last registered accounts. “The great restaurants are not very profitable, not at those prices,” said Josep Francesc Galls, professor of Marketing Management at the Esade Business School. If the chefs make money it is through agreements with major food groups, products bearing their names and sponsorships, not through meals costing up to €200 a head. Ferran Adria, whose restaurant El Bulli was named the world’s best and could afford to say so, put it another way: “A groundbreaking restaurant does not focus on profits.”

Deepwater find for Repsol REPSOL has struck high grade oil in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana. The find is located in the Leon well, 352 kilometres from the US coast. It was drilled in water 1,865 metres deep, reaching a depth of 9,684 metres which places it amongst the company’s deepest wells. The Gulf of Mexico is one of the
world’s most profitable deepwater drilling areas and the latest discovery comes five years after another important Repsol find, the Buckskin well 50 kilometres from Leon. Repsol has a 60 per cent participation in the Leon well licence, with the remaining 40 per cent controlled by the Colombian company Ecopetrol.

No sweat, no stress for Spain’s banks needed a €22 billion cash injection and the government requested a €100 billion bailout from the European Union. None of the 15 banks examined will need to raise new capital and although Liberbank had a €32 million shortfall at the end of 2013, it has raised €616 million since
then and has met the ECB’s requirements. The reform and restructuring of Spain’s banking system has borne fruit, said a satisfied Luis Maria Linde, governor of the Bank of Spain. “Spanish banks face the future with healthy balance sheets from a position of solvency,” Linde added.

Cash flow essential to running a business SUCCESSFUL management of cash flow is essential to running a business. Try to work on accurately calculating projected income and balancing outgoings with income. A community far beyond your business doors will be harmed if you get it wrong. Best not to have all your business eggs in one basket. A British government minister once pointed out that most business bankruptcies are caused, not by failure of the business owner, but by the failure of a prime customer. When a major company goes down the pan it takes scores, sometimes hundreds of small suppliers with it. A major company’s collapse can

plunge hundreds of smaller businesses, many of them one-manbands, into bankruptcy. I do remember one British household name builder that actually had less than 20 members of the staff on the payroll. Their huge labour force was entirely
sub-contracted. When the banks pulled the plug, hundreds of them were left high, dry and penniless. You should be in a position to survive if a customer or two ceases to do business with you. The cause may not be a client’s insolvency. Your customer could relocate, find an alternative supplier, downsize, or decide that your service can be more cost effectively done in-house. Businesses also get into financial difficulties when expectations of income are exaggerated and outgoings airily dismissed. I recall an employee who thought all was well because the till was stuffed with banknotes. What he should have been looking at were
the cheque book stubs. There is a saying in business: “Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king.” Getting it right is a fine balancing act. Constantly monitor expenditure. If you can get by without it then ditch it. If you sensibly predict income, realistically assess outgoings, learn the dark arts of minimising outgoings whilst maximising income, whilst keeping customers happy, your business will prosper. A crumb of comfort for those facing difficulties. It has been calculated that self-made millionaires on average suffered seven bankruptcies before they hit success.

Markets refocus on economic data
S
TERLING / Euro movements were heavily affected by the run up and then the aftermath of the Scottish referendum vote. As we approached polling day the pound tumbled sharply as polls identified that the outcome was neck and neck. The unprecedented uncertainty that a Yes vote would have delivered sent shock waves through the financial markets and the pound suffered heavy losses as the possibility of a Yes vote became very real. On the day of the vote itself the markets were more confident of a No vote and this led to a recovery in the pound. On official confirmation of the No vote the pound rallied further still hitting a two year high against the euro. Attention is now shifting back towards economic data from both the UK and the Eurozone which will determine the future

PRESENT DATA: Mainly positive with the pound hitting two year highs against the euro. direction of monetary policy for both. As it stands, the UK is on a trajectory towards raising interest rates whilst the European Central Bank is entrenched in monetary easing. Recently they undertook aggressive action in the bond market purchasing €1.7bn in a move to kick start the ailing European economy. This latest move exceeded expectations despite Mario
Draghi’s public ambition to expand the balance sheet up to €1 trillion. Attention has now shifted back to economic data to feedback a picture on the health of the UK and the Eurozone economies. The UK is as we stand looking likely to raise interest rates next year and this is certainly boosting appetite for the pound. Continued positive feedback
is required from UK data to support this view and there is a risk that data could start to slow, potentially pushing back the timeline for an interest rate hike. Ironically the strength of the pound in recent months could weigh on future UK data releases and also soften inflation numbers which will slow the urgency of the BoE. However at present the data has been mainly

positive and hence why the pound is hitting two year highs against the euro. The euro is under pressure across the currency markets and in particular against the USD. The European Central Bank have cut their main interest rate to 0.05 per cent and cut the deposit rate into negative territory. However there is concern that current measures may not be enough as data continues to disappoint and inflation is still softening. The next step for the ECB would be full blown quantitative easing, which is weighing on the euro overall and if announced could see further weakness for the single currency with GBP/EUR pushing towards 1.35. However, it is probably unlikely that we will see QE this year and it will probably come, if at all, after December’s release of the second tranche of the TLTRO programme uptake.
Is your professional behaviour helping to drag you down? BECOMING successful isn’t all about chance; it’s about consciously making good things happen for you. Of course a little bit of luck sprinkled into the equation is more than helpful, but the grand majority of success is down to hard work and keeping certain behaviour in check. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. What we do and how we do it can be the life or death of a business or for the opportunity of promotion. All too often we fall into a way of doing things that actually harms rather than advances our chance of success. Therefore, it’s essential to recognise such toxic behaviours and get rid of them quick! Busy or productive? Just because you might spend the entire day running around like a headless chicken doesn’t necessarily mean that you are getting

things done. Learn to prioritise. Take a step back, breathe and figure out what exactly needs to be done and concentrate your efforts on those things that will make an impact and encourage progress. Forget about perfection. The pursuit of perfection is a great big waste of time. Imagine it in terms of learning Spanish. Those that refuse to speak for fear of making mistakes never get to practice and their language learning stops in its tracks. It’s the same in the workplace. The best thing to do is just make an effort - try as hard as you
can and you’ll be amazed at how productive you can become. Planning is progress. Planning is the most important thing you can do to encourage success. Rolling out of bed each day with no notion in your head of what you plan to do is a waste of time and a recipe for disaster. Successful people have a plan. They set goals and navigate their working life around conquering those goals. Get strong. Everyone has a weakness or two within their professional life - a bad habit or something that drags them down. Spot these weaknesses and make an effort to improve. If you are a nervous public speaker but fancy your chances of becoming a manager, then make sure to work on this weakness. Attend a class; do whatever it takes to turn your weakness into a strength.

Also ask what type of transport they use: we were on a small runaround for 12 hours. It was like sitting on a spin-dryer for the whole journey. Do your homework on the location and accommodation. We booked a cruise and required an outside cabin for fresh air and a quiet time. We were not told that the only outside cabins were directly below the activities deck! We were lucky: some people had cabins directly below the disco. So the moral of our story is check, check and then check again. Dave Stewart (by email)

Dressing up POOR Mike Walsh! Having become a solid member of the style police he is missing a few very important points about dress and performance. He is clearly unaware that Mr Steve Jobs built the Apple computer empire by allowing his employees to dress in whatever mode made them feel good: look at the result. The hoary old uniform and suit argument just doesn’t gel with the facts. As a retired business advisor I have continued researching the psychological impact of Mr Walsh’s attitude versus Steve Jobs’. Sorry Mr. Walsh, but for business performance the facts are against you. Howard Hughes, a billionaire, dressed like a poor man for a great many years before his demise. Many great artists and entrepreneurs of all types have shared that mode of dress by desire or circumstances. To judge a person by their clothes is about as narrowminded as it is possible to get. John Gardner, Almeria

man walked between my car and the car parked next to me as I was reversing. Because it was so hot I had the windows down and he indicated that I watch a car that suddenly came behind me. Then he put his hand through the window and picked up my handbag from the passenger seat. I screamed and swore at him and he threw it back into my car and jumped into the car that had been behind me. I was parked at the back of Consum in Albir and people were sitting outside a cafe not 50 yards away. The people that do this are so brazen, but I think shouting must have startled him: I am 67 and can be a bit scary! But I thought I should warn people as this is so easily done.

Naming names I HAVE become increasingly frustrated by radio presenters’ failure to inform the listening public who actually sings the songs played.

I listen to a variety of local English-speaking radio stations and it has now become the norm for radio presenters to chatter on about everything other than the artist singing. During a long drive that lasted over two hours only one artist’s name was given! What is wrong with presenters? Surely the role of DJs is to actually present music? That means informing the listening public of the title of the song and the artist. Can we have less of the inane chatter and incessant promotions of everything other than the music played?
Come on local radio DJs, start behaving like professional radio presenters. Jan Holden (by email)
Long way I HAVE just read a Euro Weekly News article about the increased number of people using Alicante airport. A lot of this is due to the fact Jet2 are not using Murcia airport during the winter months, to the inconvenience of thousands of people living in the area. Sadly my husband died a few years ago, but I still spend the winter months in La Manga. A few months ago when trying to book my flights for this winter I found none landed at Murcia and I was left with the only option of Alicante airport. There are no Jet2 flights to Murcia until the end of March next year and none of the other airlines offer flights. Alicante is a good airport but there is no public transport down to La Manga and a taxi costs €120, so we are left

Christmas cheer ONCE again San Miguel de Salinas Social Services are asking for help with their Christmas campaign for the less fortunate of our local community. There are over 70 families, all with at least three children up to the age of 17, registered with Social Services in the village. They are asking for nonperishable foods along with some festive fare and toys so they can make up food parcels and gifts for Christmas and the Three Kings. The main collection point is in the old town hall in San Miguel, but a number of local restaurants, bars and businesses have kindly agreed to be collection points. These are Dolphin Properties, Captain Morgan’s Bar, Mirador Restaurant and The Nook. Social Services are asking for all items to be in to them by December 5 so they can be individually wrapped for each family and child. With your kind help and donations we can make this appeal as successful as last year’s. Trish Herbert, San Miguel de Salinas (Alicante).
How to vote REGISTERING to vote has changed in the UK. Whereas before each household had one form for everybody who lived in the property, each individual who is eligible now has to complete a form, giving address, full name, date of birth and NI number. Those wanting to register for next year’s General Election (if still eligible) can do it online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. You need your last address in the UK, full name, date of birth and NI number. You can apply for a proxy if you want, which is recommended as there may not be enough time to receive your ballot paper and return it. They will respond by email with a reference number and the information they have sent the to your Local Authority. Philip Bradley, Benijofar (Alicante)

UST had to happen, didn’t it? It was as predictable as the flowers in May or the X Factor judges using the word ‘amazing’ about a million times a show. We are now being asked to feel sorry for some of these young toerags who left UK shores to side with the odious ISIS. “It’s not their fault,” cry the ‘uman rights brigade. It’s the media allowing the evil radicalizers to publicise their views that should be taking the blame for their terrorist temptations. What a load of pure unadulterated claptrap! I don’t care how ‘fresh faced’, ‘well liked’ and ‘innocent’ these young men and women were. They are evil psychopaths who have committed treason against the country that
nurtured them and partaken in unforgivable acts of satanic terrorism. If they return to British shores, all of them must be locked away for life. “Oh, but some of them are too frightened to come back,” wail the parents, who should, to my mind, be locked up as well. The poor diddums have become fed up with sawing off people’s heads and shooting unarmed victims in the back. “We wanna come home now, Mum.” Get back to how it all was before we decided to run off and kill people. Well I’ve got news for them. They have all forfeited their right to ever live among decent human beings again. They are the scum of the earth and so is anyone who supports them including the lawyers who are no doubt gathering like the vultures they are to once more bleed the British taxpayer out of millions, fighting cases that will no doubt drag on for years. If I had my way I’d lock them up as well. To me they are not much better
than the non-human rubbish they will be earning millions to defend. Shouldn’t really be angry this week. Things are actually quite good. For the next two weeks I am appearing back in the old Motherland with shows as far apart as Norfolk and Blackpool. Channel 5’s OAPs Behaving Badly is coming over to film my Flying Curry Circus Christmas party on December 13. Venue to be announced. Plug plug! (Yes, I am doing it again, despite the fact that I’m still trying to live down the first one!) My double pneumonia is finally over and hopefully I don’t have prostate cancer. So it’s onward and upward. Next week’s scribble will issue from the cold and windy shores of the old country, provided I don’t get stopped at the border! Course I won’t, they let anyone in, don’t they!? Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com.

I
AM of the generation that looks back with fond memories at the simplicity of life in the 1950s and 60s. If you received a bill you wrote out a cheque, shoved it in the reply paid envelope and popped it in the letterbox. What has happened since? I will tell you: they said computers would make our lives easier. We receive a €20 subscription renewal payable online. Logging on, the complexity of navigation makes progress virtually impossible. We finally reach ‘pay’ but our troubles are only just beginning. Our bank, in its lack of wisdom, now requires online payments to be authorised by using codes printed on the back of a plastic card: fail. Although assured our cards were kosher we now find ours had been wrongly registered. Before a replacement card solution is arrived at, a series of computer hurdles that would try the patience of a NASA scientist must be gone through. Our internet service provider messes up
its accounts. As a consequence an incorrect payment anomaly shows up. No, they don’t sort out their problem. They need bank approved proof of our payments to satisfy them that we have indeed paid. This necessitates several time-consuming trips between the bank and the service supplier’s offices. Henry Ford was wasting his time when he said: “If it aint broke don’t fix it.” A basic can-opener was in the kitchen drawer in my young life. A simple device of a type used since before the Zulu Wars. This simple functional implement today is an allsinging and dancing model, but as useless as a walking stick with a wheel on it. When Phileas Fogg went on his 80 Days Around the World odyssey, a traveller could catch a train at Liverpool Lime Street and be in Manchester quicker than he can today. Purchasing a ticket was far easier. You simply bought it from the teller. You now have a formidable series of computerised and highly confusing procedures to negotiate. The number of illegal non-European immigrants in the UK is estimated in the millions. Although I am born and bred British, I cannot take my Spanish resident Central European wife to see our family in
Britain. The costs and complexities of a visa to visit this offshore European island are far too onerous. In simpler times, the RAF brought rebellious Iraq and Afghanistan to their knees by dropping £5 bombs on their £1 peasant huts. Today, the RAF fails to defeat these ‘tribesmen’ with the FGR4 Typhoon fighter that cost £17.6 billion to develop, priced at £110 million each and cost £3,875 an hour to demolish the same peasant’s hut. This week, hapless Britain washes its hands of its débâcle. Talking of washing one’s hands, whilst browsing in my medical centre I check out a 10-illustration diagram instructing me how to wash my hands. Yes, life will be easier they lied.

What did you experience in your youth that kids today never will?
O
N the Costa Blanca, the general view is that the main thing kids today will never experience is simply
being kids. Neil Couzens from Zenia Services said one thing he enjoyed as a child that youngsters today probably don’t was ‘building camps, and bows and arrows.’ He added: “Society has changed and everything is based around technology now and I think that is a shame.
NEIL: Technology has taken over.
STREET TALK Children aren’t learning skills from their parents any more although I do believe the introduction of technology has made youngsters more intelligent; they know how to find answers thanks to the likes of Google.” Keith Owen from Solar Directa believed children now miss out on the freedom to play outdoors. “I grew up in Somerset by the seaside and we would be out playing all day, getting up to all sorts before we had to come home. There were no mobile phones and parents didn’t worry, but the world is a lot uglier now and you can’t do that, parents need to be stricter,” he said. Karen from Mijas TV commented: “Kids are lucky nowadays in that they do not have to experience smoke-filled bars, restaurants, aeroplanes and offices. When I was younger everywhere we went there were smokers and as a non-
smoker all my life, I didn’t like it but had to put up with it.” Mark Scott from Aroma restaurant in Mallorca recalled ‘drinking from a hosepipe.’ Children nowadays are told not to drink from hosepipes because of the chances of catching some awful disease and Mark thinks it’s a shame as it was a fond childhood memory of his. Nicole King from Mi Marbella said ‘dialling a telephone’. She added: “Today’s youngsters will never experience the actual term ‘to dial a number’ because we have push-button phones and not the old-fashioned ‘get your finger twisted’ style like in the old days!” Ann Baxter from Mojacar Windows and Doors commented: “When we were young, we could go off into the woods to explore on our own. We had a lot more freedom than children today.”

A taxing tale of drugs, prostitutes and tobacco-smuggling in the EU Nora Johnson
Breaking Views A Costa del Sol resident for a number of years, Nora is the author of psychological suspense and crime thrillers. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/columnists/nora-johnson
U
NSURPRISINGLY, a huge leap in UKIP support was reported following the £1.7 billion EU surcharge imposed on the UK to reflect the ‘black economy’ of illegal drugs, prostitution and tobaccosmuggling within its GDP. Now, this isn’t a molehill, it’s a mountain! The EU’s penalising the UK for having the most successful economy in the EU, whilst rewarding countries like France for being economic basket cases! And as for the EU’s attempts to dismiss the problem by claiming these are the rules, no way! The
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: The EU needs deep reform. real issue is: how have the rules been interpreted and applied? It seems blindingly obvious different countries have different ways of operating. And that the UK has taken a more meticulous
approach to reporting income from such intangible sources as drugs, prostitution and tobaccosmuggling than Germany, France or Austria - all lined up for rebates. Or maybe failed to smell
a rat where others, more savvy, did? Unfortunately, Britain is a land of rule-makers and administrators. Show it a rule, and it’ll be applied unquestioningly. Other countries decide on different criteria. The real tragedy of the EU is that the shedloads of tax-payers’ money which have been and are still being wasted - on moving between Strasbourg and Brussels, bloated bureaucracy, pay and allowances, and duplicated diplomatic representation - would, spent sensibly under individual nations’ control, have resulted in greater prosperity and better defence against terrorists. The EU is like a rudderless ship driven by ideology and holed below the waterline. Rather than make crucial structural repairs, it settles for quick-fixes and takes on more payload (regulation,
centralisation and bureaucracy) so guaranteeing it slinks further behind and deeper in the water. And unless it endorses immediate reform - including reduction of bureaucracy and regulation, liberalisation of labour markets, overhaul of immigration controls - the UK runs the risk of going down with it. Finally, let’s return to that £1.7 billion surcharge that, we’re told, now takes account of drugs, prostitution and tobaccosmuggling. Doesn’t this number somehow indicate the UK spends more on those items than basic foodstuffs? Given my own food bill, it seems some of my fellow citizens are having a lot more fun than me!

Fun, puns and mystery millions Cassandra Nash MARIANO RAJOY: President faces yet more trouble from PP corruption allegations.
A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
T
HE latest political scandal’s codename Punica was suggested by punica granatum and a play on the surname of Francisco Granados. Accused with an associate of stashing an illegal €5.8 million in Switzerland, he is an exsenator and was second in charge after Esperanza Aguirre when she was regional president of the Madrid Community. Aguirre, who is now secretary general of the regional PP, insisted that she didn’t have “the slightest idea” of what Granados was up to. In the same breath she called for the courts to speed up the ongoing Gurtel case - another pun,
this time on the surname of its principal player Francisco Correa, incidentally. After six years it still hasn’t come to court, Aguirre complained. Not that she was trying to deflect attention away from Granados, of course.
More trouble MARIANO RAJOY must feel
like William Collingbourne as he was being hanged, drawn and quartered in 1484: “Oh Lord Jesus, yet more trouble!” he groaned. The president, the governing PP and to a lesser extent the PSOE socialists, all face yet more trouble in the shape of another huge politiccorruption scandal. Over the last two years 51 local and regional politicians
including six mayors and high-ranking officials in Madrid, Valencia, Murcia and Leon raked in illegal commissions of between €6 and €7 million on government contracts worth €250 million. While 300 people a day were evicted from their homes, small businesses went under and employees accepted wage cuts to retain their jobs, these
public servants creamed off money during the worst economic crisis Spain has ever endured. Nor did they do it for the greater good of party funds because that cash wasn’t destined for a spot of illicit double-accounting and salary top-ups. Every cent of it went into their own pockets and every cent of it came from the taxpayer. And every cent of those €250 million will cost the two national parties dear when those taxpayers vote in next year’s elections.
Rich pickings JOSE ANGEL FERNANDEZ VILLA, former leader of the SOMA-UGT miners’ union explained that the €1.4 million he declared during the government’s fiscal amnesty was a legacy from his mother. Ludivina Villa died aged 91 after running a bar in
Tuilla (Asturias) which has a population of 1,200. She must have done a roaring trade and saved very, very hard.
Power hungry ENRIQUE CALVET of the UPyD party takes over the seat in the European Parliament given up by Francisco Sosa Wagner. He left following serious discrepancies with the party’s leader Rosa Diez who, Sosa claimed, “is leading the party to catastrophe.” Exit Sosa and enter Calvet who, after 48 hours of reflection, decided to take the seat despite the longstanding friendship between both men. He has a responsibility towards UPyD voters, he said. And, friendship notwithstanding, a hunger for power and generous Brussels expenses?

Norwegian technology from Neater Heater makes the Spanish winter bearable F OR most expats, staying warm in winter presents a challenging problem. After all, it is only for a few months, so a complete central heating system seems a bit excessive. Gas estuffas are effective, but unhealthy, ugly, and cumbersome. Log burners and pellet burners are great for the general living area, but you wouldn’t want one in every room, even if you could afford it, or had the space. Generally, what’s left is electric heaters, and there is a bewildering choice of those around, ranging from cheap ugly ones that cost a fortune to run, all the way to space-age designs that profess to be economical, but cost the price of a secondhand car. Tony and Richard of Neater Heater understand this. Facing this problem several years ago, they discovered that those clever Norwegians held the key by
NEATER HEATER DISTRIBUTOR: COSTA DEL SOL MIJAS COSTA: Malaga Relocations. Mob 664 050 868 Heaters also available for purchase at our online shop with free home delivery WWW.NEATERHEATER.ES or Tel. 634 312 171
keeping the basic design of their convector heaters simple, but effective, while using modern technology and materials to make them efficient and economical to run. The difference between a Neater Heater compared to most electric heaters is that most electric heaters use their energy in getting the heater hot,
whereas the Neater Heater focuses on getting the air in your room warm. As Tony explains, “A lot of electric heaters have relatively small surface areas. The element has to get incredibly hot to heat the casing of the heater, which then warms the air it contacts - which isn’t much as it has a small surface contact area. The Neater Heater, on the
other hand, has an aluminium element (an efficient conductor of heat) designed to have a huge surface area. When you turn the Neater Heater on, the air inside the hollow heater is warmed up very quickly as the element gets hot. This air then rises out of the top of the heater and cold air is drawn in to replace it. This air is then heated and a convection
cycle is started. Within 15-20 minutes the room should be warm, and the thermostat will control the operation of the heater, reducing consumption. “All this information, and more, is on our website” Richard informs us, “You can find out the size of heater you need, decide from the numerous models which one would suit your budget and decor best, and decide whether to buy directly from our online shop, or whether to visit one of our agents.” Neater Heaters are not only efficient, effective, and economical, but as you would expect from a Scandinavian product, they are extremely stylish and practical. There is also a model that will suit anyone, whether it is the standard Adax Heater, the stylish Beha Heater, or the trendy Neo with digital controls, Neater Heaters are a great solution to make Spanish winters bearable.

Children don’t have to live in fear of reading By the age of nine, Ashley still couldn’t read. This year she graduates from university in the UK with a BSc (Hons) and she still maintains this is thanks to her ChromaGen lenses. The following is what Ashley wrote as part of her university application; she was accepted in all five choices: “I started to read, learn and participate with more enthusiasm, confidence and courage in activities that previously daunted me. Life no longer scared me or confused me, I was finally free. “Dyslexia is a handicap by definition and I am dyslexic. I do see many things differently to most people and I believe that this difference is necessary. History reveals that usually it’s just one person that has the vision and the rest that take note. “I’ve always known that I have a responsibility to help others. I became the youngest ChromaGen specialist to better understand how to share my experiences and encourage other children to chase their dreams and goals, like me.”
Viva Marbella... With
Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio DYSLEXIA By Ashley King “Dyslexia, the word that has defined me by changing me from a stupid child into a bright child with a learning disorder. “I have always struggled greatly at daily activities like reading and writing, things my friends take for granted. Studying may have been more challenging for me than most but I always felt that it was because life expected more from me. “It was not until my first look through ChromaGen lenses at nine years old that I had the proof of what I had known all along, I couldn’t see properly and that’s
VISION: Special lenses help the brain understand what we see. why those basic abilities were so difficult for me. “Although the glasses did not completely eliminate my problem
I was able to understand what was happening to me and why. I could once again trust in myself and my own instincts.
For many parents it’s the doing well at school that is of utmost importance, however for me her words “trust in myself” and “Life no longer scared me… I was finally free” are what inspires me
to help other children know about these lenses. Until ChromaGen it has only been possible to treat and improve our sight up to the retina (external visual system). With ChromaGen an optician can now also control the transmission of the images from the retina to the brain, fundamental to ensure a good understanding of what we are “seeing”; hence the importance of testing anyone with reading or learning difficulties with these lenses.

in history
Women’s wit
1869: The Victorian Aboriginal Protection Act is enacted in Australia, giving the government control of Aboriginal people’s wages, terms of employment, where they can live and of their children. 1871: Dr David Livingstone, the missing British explorer, is found by Henry Morton Stanley near Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania. Mr Stanley greets Dr Livingstone with the now-famous words: “Dr Livingstone, I presume?” 1918: Representatives of the Allied Forces meet German leaders in northern France and sign an armistice, thus bringing an end to World War I. 1960: John F Kennedy beats Richard Nixon by a narrow margin to become the youngest ever President of the United States at age 43. 1974: Police begin their hunt for aristocrat Lord Lucan following the murder of his children’s nanny. Sandra Rivett, aged 28, had been bludgeoned to death in the basement of the Lucan family home on Belgrave Street, London. Lord Lucan was never found and is presumed dead. 1989: After weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announces its citizens can visit West Germany and West Berlin. Thousands of people converge on the Berlin Wall to celebrate and climb into West Berlin. 1996: Bill Clinton wins a second term in the Oval Office after defeating Bob Dole in the US presidential elections. He is the first Democratic President to be reelected since Franklin D Roosevelt. Two years later he was at the centre of a sex scandal involving a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. 2004: Yasser Arafat dies in hospital in Paris, France, at the age of 75, from multiple organ failure. His death brings to an end more than 40 years rule of Palestine. He had been in a coma for eight days.

H ex a g r a m
Gretta and her boyfriend Dave are college sweethearts and song writing partners who move to New York when Dave gets a deal with a major record label. But fame goes to Dave’s head and temptation leads him astray. Heartbroken Gretta goes out to make it on her own, and is soon discovered by a disgraced record executive. The promising collaboration between the two blossoms as Gretta realises her priorities in life have changed and she must follow her own path. Stars Keira Knightly, Mark Ruffalo and Adam Levine. Run time 104 mins, Rated R. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks. It is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up. Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think.
THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX 1. The Rutshire Chronicles, including Riders (1985), Rivals (1988) and The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous (1993), were all written by which ‘romantic novelist’, who was born in Hornchurch in February 1937? 2.

Which actress, singer, dancer and television personality, born in Basildon in May 1974, presented Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast from 1997 to 1998 and from 2000 to 2001? 5.

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 B) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.
programmes such as ‘Hell’s Kitchen,’ ‘MasterChef’ and ‘Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares.’
November 11, Leonardo DiCaprio, 40, actor A teen heartthrob throughout much of the 90’s, DiCaprio is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor for his role as Howard Hughes in ‘The Aviator.’ In the past he has dated supermodels Bar Rafaeli, Gisele Bundchen and Erin Heatherton. November 11, Demi Moore, 52, actor Previously married to fellow actor Bruce Willis, Moore later married Ashton Kutcher but the couple split in 2013. She is well-known for her role in the 1990 film ‘Ghost’ and also for her role as a stripper in the 1996 film ‘Striptease.’
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change.
TARGET: Average: 6 Good: 8 November 7, David de Gea, footballer The Manchester United goalkeeper began his career with Atletico Madrid and was captain of the Spain under-21 national side that won the European Championship in 2011.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone's gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.

TOP 10 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE INTERNET

Since its almost exponential growth and integration into everyday life from the early 90’s onwards, most people would agree that nowadays they would be lost without the internet. Here are 10 things you perhaps never knew about the World Wide Web. 1. Seven people in the world hold a ‘key to the internet.’ These seven key holders - from different parts of the world - will be able to ‘reboot’ an integral part of the internet system should catastrophe strike and the internet shuts down. All seven have long backgrounds in internet security and work for various international institutions. 2. The internet speed on the International Space Station - 330 kilometres above the surface of the Earth - is faster than the average internet speed in Australia.

3. In 1995, Newsweek published an article that ridiculed the idea of people using the internet to get their news, learn, or buy airline tickets - much of what the majority of people do on the internet today. Newsweek still has the article archived on its own website.
5. There is a murkier, much bigger version of the internet out there known as the ‘deep web’ or ‘hidden web.’ Believed to be at least 500 times bigger than the internet we use, sites on the deep web are anonymous and are not indexed by search engines such as Google or Bing. The data on the dark web is not necessarily intentionally hidden, but it is hard for conventional search engine technology to find it and make sense of it.

Organ donations and transplants on course to reach new record THIS year could mark a new record for the number of organ donations and transplants in Spain. Based on the figures so far for 2014, the Director of the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), Rafael Matesanz, said, “everything suggests that Spain will surpass the record this year.” Last year, more than 4,000 donations and transplants were recorded. The number of live donations is approaching 20 per cent, when last year it was 15 per cent. Speaking at the 27th National Renal Conference, Matesanz said waiting lists had been reduced, particularly in kidney transplants, which had fallen for four consecutive years, which

The next few days would be all about rest, getting my drain taken out when the levels had dropped sufficiently and above all taking things easy with my right arm. I was under strict instructions not to lift anything or to exert myself in any way. I had been unaware initially what the long term implications of having all my lymph nodes removed would be. As I no longer had a lymphatic drainage system I could be left with a serious side effect called Lymphedema. Lymphedema is a condition of localised fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system which returns liquid to the thoracic duct and then the bloodstream. So tissues with lymphedema are at risk of infection and swelling. There are exercises and physiotherapy you can do to help your system but I will go into this in future blogs.

Decorative window boxes
THERE are few properties that would not be enhanced by one or two window boxes placed on a window sill or edge of a balcony, or the wall or balustrades of an apartment terrace. Window boxes planted with traditional geraniums, or a wide range of other suitable plants, are an easy way to brighten up the facades of some otherwise drab houses and apartment blocks throughout the year. So let’s look at the opportunity in more detail. Why window boxes? Window boxes serve several purposes. 1. To brighten up the outlook from windows and doors onto balconies and terraces. 2. To provide a screen from prying eyes. 3. To brighten up the appearance of the house

WINDOW BOXES: Can be placed on traditional window sills, hung from modern windows without sills, or even be hung from terrace railings.

from outside. 4. To give the appearance that the house or apartment is lived in. 5. To brighten up dull courtyards. 6. To brighten up the semi shade under large trees by hanging window boxes directly from boughs or on hanging shelves. Overcoming problem of plastic coated aluminium windows Most traditionally built houses have convenient wide outside window sills that provide space for window boxes between the window frames and wrought iron
security grills. Some also have small balconies with metal railings. However most modern plastic/aluminium windows with integral double glazing and security blinds result in very narrow or even no sills. Fortunately many garden centres now stock window boxes with metal supports that can be hung below the window sill. Similar supports can be attached to the railings of an apartment terrace. What to plant? All year round: Zonal and trailing geraniums/pelargoniums - except in the heavy frost/snow belt where they need to be put in a cold frame or a greenhouse for the winter. Spring, summer and autumn: Trailing petunias, portulacas, zonal and trailing geraniums/pelargoniums, carnations, felicia /agathaea, succulents and in the shade fuchsias and busy lizzies. Spring: Trailing sweet
peas, verbena and freesias. Autumn and winter: Heathers and pansies. Winter: Cyclamens, poinsettias, pansies, stocks and bulbs such as hyacinths and daffodils. Colour can also be provided by the fruit and foliage of plants. a. Fruits - the fruits on mock pepper and mini pomegranate plants can look very attractive during the autumn. b. Foliage - begonias, spider plant, variegated ivies, herbs - on the widow sill outside the kitchen - and dwarf conifers in semi-shaded situations. If you are an absentee gardener we suggest that you restrict your window boxes to trailing
geraniums/pelargonium s, and drought resistant succulents and cacti. If you only use the property only infrequently I suggest that replant your window boxes each time you visit. What type of window boxes can be planted up? Every year new and improved terracotta, ceramic and plastic window boxes appear. Some of the latter having a self watering reservoir that holds sufficient water for several weeks. Very useful when you expect to be away for holidays or short breaks. If you are planting trailing
plants these will soon cover the front sides of the boxes. So save money and don’t invest unnecessarily in fancy designs. Pruning and deadheading Flowering plants will flower more continuously and for longer if you deadhead regularly. Also remove all dead leaves and ends as soon as they appear to prevent the occurrence of fungal diseases. Naturally trim to shape to improve the overall appearance of your boxes.

Top literary talent to join huge book festival
BOOKER WINNER: Ben Okri
GIBRALTAR will be the centre of the literary world this November as more than 60 world-class guests descend on the Rock for the second edition of the Gibraltar International Literary Festival. Writers, historians, broadcasters and entertainers will treat Gibraltar to a threeday literary smorgasbord of talks, lectures, music and food. Among the myriad of this year’s speakers are British actress Maureen Lipman, international bestselling author Kate Mosse, and Booker Prize winner Ben Okri. Other highlights include a talk and performance by ex-
Marillion singer Steve Hogarth, a lecture by renowned philosopher AC Grayling, and a talk by comedian and broadcaster Nicholas Parsons. “We have a new theme of ‘music and words’ this year which will see some top musical talent coming to Gibraltar for the three days of the festival,” said Sally Dunsmore, festival director. “As last year, food is a central feature of the festival, with talks and meals by Madhur Jaffrey, Claudia Roden and Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi.” The festival, an “exciting three days of food for the mind, the soul and the body,” will take place on November 14, 15 and 16 at various venues around Gibraltar. For more information and tickets see www.gibraltarliteraryfestival.com.
Faces stay hairy this month for Movember campaign BE they of the full, bushy type, the handlebar type, the pencil-thin Errol Flynn type, or even the ever-popular goatee, this November will see the gentlemen of Gibraltar leave the razor in the bathroom cupboard as they sprout moustaches for the month of ‘Movember’. In aid of cancer – mainly prostate – ‘Movember’ is practiced by men all over the world who are
sponsored to grow moustaches for the month in order to raise money for the disease that affects one in eight men. The Movember campaign in Gibraltar was launched at the weekend by Mayor Adolfo Canepa, himself the proud owner of an impressive moustache and beard. Those taking part in Movember must start the month with a clean
shaven face, and not shave above the upper lip until November 30. Personal preference will determine what type of moustache the wearer will grow, but the idea, according to Movember Gibraltar, is that, “Movember aims to fulfil its vision by having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health, by continuing to spark conversation and spread awareness of men’s health each year.”
BA flight disrupted by Spanish military jet A BRITISH AIRWAYS (BA) flight was forced to change course just before landing in Gibraltar due to the proximity of a Spanish air force jet. The BA plane, travelling from London Heathrow, had to veer off course around 10 to 15 miles out on its landing approach to Gibraltar because the Spanish military jet suddenly changed course. In the interests of safety, Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Gibraltar issued emergency instructions to the BA flight to change course. “The issue is believed to have arisen when the Spanish aircraft, which was transiting ahead of the BA flight through the Strait... suddenly reversed its direction and took another course,” said a statement from the Gibraltar government. The Spanish jet involved in the incident was a Lockheed P3 Orion four engine anti-submarine and marine surveillance aircraft. This is not the first time that Gibraltar has had an incident with a Spanish military jet. In September, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office launched an investigation into an incident involving two Spanish jets flying close to a commercial airliner as it came in to land at Gibraltar.

IF a previously friendly cat starts biting or scratching you, it is essential you take it to the vet. A cat in pain from dental disease, cystitis, arthritis or injury may bite when handled. It may bite if it is seriously ill or if it has a brain tumour. Pregnant cats or cats with litters are aggressive in defence of their litters. When the kittens have grown up, the mother’s behaviour usually alters. NEVER punish or chase. This will intensify aggression. Ignore bad behaviour by walking away, keeping silent (no screams), withdrawing eye contact, no confrontations. Reward calm behaviour with cat treats. Avoid situations which will result in cat aggression. The difficulty for owners is working out what kind of aggression they are dealing with. This is where help from a cat behaviour counsellor can be essential to help reduce and manage the aggression. Aggression to humans
Cats that are aggressive to humans often results from fear. The problem may arise from a dysfunctional kittenhood. The kitten is brought up without enough contact with humans, and therefore will never become domesticated. To be truly domesticated, kittens need to be
handled before the age of eight weeks. Relatively socialised cats may still bond, but probably only to close family. It will be best to give this kind of cat plenty of space and independence. Allow the cat to initiate contact with you, as this freedom to choose will result in more, rather than less, affection. Cats under stress may also become aggressive to owners. In general try to reduce the stress in this cat’s life, so it becomes less anxious. More next week. Thanks to Celia Haddon for her input. AGGRESSION: May result from fear.

ABANDONED dogs and cats can be seen all over the world, huddled together in major cities or roaming alone looking for food and company. The animals which are starving, thin and in need of love, prompted two college students from Chile, Violeta Caro Pinda and Felipe Carrasco Guzman, to raise awareness with a creative approach.
The two undergraduates tied pink balloons around street dogs and cats which have phrases written on them like, ‘hug me,’ ‘play with me,’ and the most poignant one, ‘don’t leave me.’ The pair are hoping the rest of the world will take on their example and spread a bit of kindness and happiness to these forlorn and neglected creatures.

SALES RISE: The number of expats buying property is increasing.
Expat property revival EXPATRIATES living in Spain are starting to drive up the property market. They spent 36 per cent more on housing in the first six months of this year than they did in the same period of 2013. According to figures from the Spanish government, foreign residents spent
around €4.2 billion from January until the end of June, compared to €3.1 billion in the same months in 2013. Most of the cash, €3.7 billion, went on resale property, a rise of 43 per cent, while spending on new property fell 2 per cent to €469 million.
Valencia led the way with €1 billion of spending, just ahead of Andalucia with €975 million. Expats in Spain bought 25,602 homes, a rise of 23 per cent from 2013. Nonresident foreigners bought 2,065 holiday homes in Spain, an increase of 12 per cent since 2013.

IMPROVING confidence in the Spanish economy, together with a belief that property prices have finally hit rock bottom and more readily available financing, are all factors helping encourage homes sales in Spain, according to experts. Many estate agents in the country say the summer months saw a recovery in the country’s property market with some seeing sales increase by 8.8 per cent in June compared with the same month in 2013. Bank figures show that lending increased, up by 19 per cent in June 2014 compared with June 2013, and there was also a slight rise in prices which saw a 1 per cent increase in the second quarter of 2014, the first quarterly rise for six years. According to a new
ARENA PHOTO UK / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
Times are looking good INCREASING CONFIDENCE: The analysis by The Spanish Brick finds investors looking to the long term. analysis from Londonbased company The Spanish Brick, the next two to three quarters will give a better indication whether this is a sustainable recovery or a circumstantial rebound. “The main difference between 2007 and 2014 is that in 2007 the majority of buyers were speculative; they bought
with a view to selling it on in a couple of years, with a gain of up to 20 per cent. Now, investors are looking for long-term investments, using the rental market to make a profit,” said Daniel Talavera of the firm. He added: “Any yield higher than 5 per cent is considered a noteworthy investment and an 8 per
cent to 9 per cent yield is a real money maker. Regarding capital growth and capital gains, Spain delivers good results now but is suffering expensive taxation.” When it comes to investors, the volume of foreign investments is constantly increasing and 2013 saw a 16 per cent increase on 2012. It is not
uncommon for 80 per cent of an estate agent’s client base to be foreigners. The analysis points out that the difference in house prices between 2007 and 2014 varies according to the region. Prices have dropped at a rate of between 30 per cent and 70 per cent, and, on average, it is estimated that houses are now 58 per cent cheaper. It also highlights the importance of getting the price right. The economic situation created a negotiation culture. Before the housing market crash, the asking price was non-negotiable but, according to the firm, currently only 70 per cent of offers get to completion and often these offers are only accepted because the seller is under pressure to sell due to mortgage
obligations, unemployment and pressure from costs associated with the property. The typical seller has also changed. Financial entities have become the main Spanish real estate developers, followed by privately owned used homes and, lastly, new build developments. The biggest change to the type of home being bought has been an increase in the number of rooms compared with the buyer’s initial expectations. Before the crisis, prices meant that the buyer had to lower their expectations when it came to the number of bedrooms. Now, a buyer who was initially considering a two bedroom home is finding that he can afford a three bedroom property.

BARGAIN MANSION - Priced To Sell at €1million Bought By Owner For €1.5million
MARBESA MANSION: Just a gentle stroll to some of the best beaches in the Marbella area. The veranda looks across the manicured gardens and large pool, towards the vast Mediterranean beyond. A grand double staircase leads down to the large pool and lawn, surrounded by well tended, established plants and mature trees. The living room has an impressive built-in fireplace with marble surround, providing warmth throughout the winter. To the left of the dining area is the fully fitted kitchen with granite worktops, with views
towards the pool and gardens. A large utility room with storage lies beyond. A guest cloak room is also on this floor. The first of the bedrooms in this large property is found on this floor, complete with spacious en suite shower-room and double sinks. Built-in wardrobes provide ample storage. Ascending the galleried staircase takes you to the upper hallway. To the right is the master bedroom complete with built in wardrobes as part
of a separate dressing area, and a large en suite bathroom, with corner Jacuzzi bathtub, separate shower, double sinks and W.C. To the left of the hallway is another huge bedroom with en suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have sliding patio doors leading to what is currently an 80m2 ‘entertainment area,’ with removable glass windows, ideal for keeping the heat in during the winter (thanks to the large woodburning stove) and allowing in the gentle sea
breezes during the summer. This spacious room has uninterrupted, panoramic views of the coast and makes an ideal space for entertaining. Currently housing a pool table, dart board and fully fitted bar, this is the ideal ‘party room’! Descending the stairs once more, down to the garden level of the property and you will find a sauna and gymnasium, along with parking for three-four cars. In addition, a separate entrance on this level takes
you to yet more living space, with views of the grounds - a large double bedroom, with plenty of storage space and an adjacent shower room. A small hallway leads you to an open plan, fully fitted kitchen and large living room, with direct access to the garden. This would be ideal to convert into a separate guest suite or staff quarters, with private access from the main entrance of the property. Spread over three floors, measuring 578m2 on a plot of 1,170m2, the property features central heating and marble floors throughout and electric gate through which to access the garage via the paved driveway. The villa has excellent access from the N-340 highway, and all essential local amenities are to be found within a few minutes’ drive - along with some of the best beach bars and restaurants dotted along the beachfront, just a 10 minute stroll away.

Market starts to level out NEW BUILDS: Most applications were for apartment buildings.
Confidence as building permit requests increase IN another sign of the improving property market, the number of applications for building permits for new homes rose 3.3 per cent in the first eight months of the year. In total there were 24,696 requests around Spain, the second consecutive improvement
following years of falls through the economic crisis. According to figures from the Ministry of Development, there were 2,063 requests in August alone, a 30.1 per cent increase on the same month in 2013. Now the ministry is
forecasting a total figure for the year of 37,000 permits applied for, up from 34,288 last year. About two thirds of the applications were for apartments or blocks of housing (up 3.7 per cent) with the rest for individual family homes (up 2.3 per cent).
THE Bank of Spain say the Spanish property market may have finished its period of readjustment. And according to some of its figures it can see ‘timid growth’ in the market. The Bank of Spain’s latest Financial Stability Report says that prices have fallen by between 30 and 40 per cent since the property price peak in 2007. But now prices appear to be stabilising, with there being just a 0.1 per cent nationwide drop in October. Some parts of the country saw price rises. There remain, according to estimates, 560,000 unsold units in Spain, 13 per cent fewer than the stockpile heights hit in 2009. Overall recent figures show demand for housing starting to recover, with large amounts of the demand coming from foreigners. That means there is optimism that the housing market may be about to recover, although sales are still a long way from the boom years.
BANK OF SPAIN: Finds signs of recovery.
21 - 27 August 2014 / Costa www.euroweeklynews.com PROPERTY
Mortgage cash is starting to flow THERE were 15,040 new mortgages granted on homes in August at an average value of €102,430. This was an increase of 5.3 per cent in the value of mortgages given on August 2013, and there was a 31 per cent rise in the total capital loaned year on year to €1.54 billion. Both figures are good news as they show liquidity is starting to flow from banks once more. In the depths of the banking crisis many prospective home owners found it extremely difficult to finance the purchase of a property as the banks, many bailed out by Spanish and European taxpayers, refused to pass on the billions of euros received to consumers. Nervous of being more exposed to bad debts after the property bubble burst, they held on to the bailout
payments instead to fill black holes in their balance sheets. That meant a second hit to the market
after the crash as even those in steady jobs couldn’t raise the money to complete.

Moll Vell marina in Mallorca was transformed into an 880 metre street circuit for the inaugural Palma Port Kart Cup. Team PH Mallorca, with two karts entered, including one piloted by future F1 star Roberto Merhi, took pole position and a third-place finish in the threehour endurance race as well as an impressive first place in the one-hour feature race.
Alec Dudfield from property developers, PH Mallorca, said: “Sponsored by Red Bull and conceived in Monaco, this foundational Palma Port Kart Cup had all the ingredients for success, so we pulled out the stops to field two great teams. In Kart 17 we had 23-year-old Roberto Merhi, an upcoming F1 star from Castellon who raced in FP1 for Caterham at Monza, Suzuki and Sochi this season, alongside Riccardo Homuth, a Balearic Karting Champion from
Santa Ponsa, Mark Owens, a World Series Superkart race winner from Northamptonshire, and Mike Turn to page 138

Brand n availab THE Fiat 500X is the new compact crossover in the 500 family. It retains the look of the Fiat 500 from 1957 with rounded lights and the classic logo with chrome-plated bonnet trim giving it that classic feel. Built at the SATA plant in Melfi (Potenza) and sold in more than 100 countries worldwide including the United States, the new Fiat 500X will be available in two different versions - one more ‘metropolitan’ and the other ideal for leisure, say Fiat. With a big personality and distinctively Italian design, the new car is characterised by flexibility, rationality and quality firmly embedded in its compact dimensions, in the ample interior space and the choice of premium materials and fabrics, as well as the most sophisticated technology in the service of safety, comfort and well-being on board. It is available in both twowheel and four-wheel drive configurations. A particular feature of the new Fiat crossover’s four-wheel drive is the adoption of a rear axle disconnection system that permits a reduction in energy

new Fiat 500X now First look at newest F1-inspired McLaren ble in 4-wheel drive wasted through drag when four-wheel drive operation is not required, thus ensuring greater efficiency in terms of consumption. It is the only car in the segment to offer it, together with the Jeep Renegade; the rear-axle disconnect seamlessly switches between two- and fourwheel drive for full-time torque management without requiring input from the driver. The solid, robust appearance of the car finds its perfect stylistic counterpart in the harmonious line, which emerges in dimensions ideal for customers looking for comfort space and the equipment typical of compact saloons. At the same time, the 500X also gives a nod to
those who need to tackle urban traffic every day, thanks to its modest dimensions: it’s 4.25 metres long (2cm more for the version suited for leisure), 1.8 metres wide and 1.60 metres in height (with roof bars or 4-wheel drive the figures are 161 and 162cm respectively). At launch, due in 2015, the engine line-up will feature the 140 HP 1.4 Turbo MultiAir II (with front-wheel drive and sixspeed manual gearbox), the 120 HP 1.6 MultiJet II (also with front-wheel drive and six-speed manual gearbox) and the 140 HP 2.0 MultiJet II (with ninespeed automatic transmission and fourwheel drive). The range will later be
completed by the 110 HP 1.6 "E-torQ" (five-speed manual gearbox and frontwheel drive), the 170 HP 1.4 Turbo MultiAir II (ninespeed automatic transmission and fourwheel drive) and the powerful 184 HP Tigershark 2.4 (9-speed automatic transmission and fourwheel drive). The 140 HP 1.4 Turbo MultiAir II will also be available with front-wheel drive and dual clutch sixspeed automatic transmission. Also available will be the following turbodiesels: the 95 HP 1.3 MultiJet II (with five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive) and the 140 HP 2.0 MultiJet II (with six-speed manual and four-wheel drive).
MCLAREN has given a first glimpse of the interior of the McLaren P1™ GTR. Taking centre stage in the stripped out interior is the Formula 1-inspired, championship winning steering wheel The first images of the interior show how the driving environment of the McLaren P1 GTR has been designed to be as focused for the driver as possible, and is stripped of all but the essential items in a bid to keep weight to a minimum. The MonoCage chassis is carried over from the road car, and weighs just 90kilos thanks to the use of carbon fibre, including the upper and lower structures. Since the ‘rollcage’ is incorporated into the MonoCage, there is no reduction in headroom for the driver.

Countdown to the Andalucian skiing season starts under bright blue skies
WITH just weeks to go before Andalucia’s skiing season starts, enthusiasts are itching to get out their snowboards and skis, snow boots and woolly hats, get the car tyre chains ready and head on up to Sierra Nevada with a few friends. The resort has already reported the first snow of the season, and the artificial snow cannon are blasting out giant white plumes in time for November 29. Only a two-and-a-half hour drive from Marbella, most visitors to the sunny Costa del Sol are unaware that it is indeed possible – however unlikely it sounds – to be sitting on the beach and dipping your feet in the Med in the morning and by mid-afternoon you can be whizzing down dazzling snowy mountains before enjoying the après-ski by a roaring log fire. The Costa del Sol’s proximity to the Sierra Nevada range in Granada makes it one of the most unique ski resorts in the world. Where else can you be sitting on a warm beach in the morning and skiing in the afternoon? Dubbed the “sunniest ski resort in Europe”, Sierra Nevada is a hugely

resort a dazzlingly white glow under deep blue skies, while at the same time offering incredible views out over the Mediterranean.
Unsurprisingly, people normally associate snow-based activities with those who live in colder climes, such as Scandinavians, Eastern Europeans, Austrians, Germans and Russians, but there is a whole community of tanned people who live in the sunny resorts of the Costa del Sol or the Costa Blanca that spend their winter weekends whizzing down the slopes of Sierra Nevada. Proximity to the resort is actually a bonus feature for many foreigners buying a property in Andalucia. From late November to early May each year, skiers and snowboarders make the annual pilgrimage up to the 100kilometre piste at Sierra Nevada. There are cosy restaurants and lively bars to entertain the après-ski crowd, and the resort is particularly beautiful around Christmas time, with colourful lights giving Sierra Nevada an Alpine-postcard like feel. The countdown to the season has begun, and people are getting ready to swap their surfboards and jet skis for the snowboards and skis of the more traditional kind.
A
PAINKILLING drug that is harmless to the cattle it is given to, but is deadly to vultures, could result in Spain’s vulture population facing a very real threat. Vultures dining on the carcasses of animals containing a fatal drug resulted in the decimation of Asia’s vulture population, and experts are worried about the future of Spain’s vultures. A report issued last month about the death of a Eurasian Griffon vulture found on an animal reserve in Andalucia two years ago shows that the bird had severe visceral gout, a condition consistent with the poisoned vultures of Asia. Since the 1990s, vulture numbers in India have plummeted by 99 per cent – tens of millions of the birds died – and scientists have linked this ecological disaster to kidney failure resulting from the feeding on carcasses of animals treated with a painkiller, diclofenac.
Harmless to the cattle, the drug is fatal to the birds that feed on it. The drug has since been banned in India and there is now hope for the scavenging birds of Asia, though the drug does still continue to be used illegally. Andalucia’s dead bird is believed to have ingested flunixin, a similar drug to diclofenac. However, earlier this year diclofenac was approved as a veterinary drug in Spain and Italy, and experts are worried not only for the safety of the vulture, but also the Golden eagle and the Spanish Imperial eagle. Spain – and in particular Andalucia – is either home, a breeding ground or part of the migration route for many different species of vulture, including the Griffon vulture, the Egyptian vulture and the Black vulture. The Strait of Gibraltar is where many of these birds pass during

order to quantify how many medicated carcasses end up as food for vultures and other scavengers. The approval of the use of diclofenac has avian enthusiasts concerned due to the fact that Europe is the last refuge of Old World vultures (New World
vultures are made up of different species). In Africa, the vulture population has been in decline for some time and diclofenac practically wiped out the entire Asian vulture population. The October report about the death of the vulture in Andalucia highlighted that “there is an urgent need to test the safety of drugs like flunixin in vultures in Europe,” but it’s already known that diclofenac has a deadly effect on the carnivorous bird. Add flunixin into the mix, and Spain’s vultures could possibly go the way of Asia’s: virtual extinction. Whenever venturing towards Gibraltar and the Costa de la Luz, it is a common sight to see the dark, looming shadows of vultures as they circle lazily high in the sky. It is a sight that conservationists, scientists and avian enthusiasts want to continue to see, but one that could be under real threat.

Despite this setback Superbowl won the
match 102 shots to 99. Charity funds were raised by a corner to corner competition held after the match, a ‘spider’ beforehand with prizes donated by Almacen de Bebidas Juan Miguel, Winers were fined for wearing white, players were fined for bowling a wrong bias and a grand raffle with prizes donated by members and local businesses which resulted in a total of €596 for DebRA Espańa, The Butterfly Children.
