Hanging aired online

FUENTE ALAMO: A 35-year-old British man is said to have recorded live footage of his suicide.

by Tara Rippin A BRITISH man reportedly broadcast his own suicide in Fuente Alamo through direct video images on a social network site.

According to Spanish press, the 35-year-old hanged himself live on Instagram, on September 1, with the details only being released this week.

It has been claimed a woman called the Guardia Civil in Murcia and reported that she could see footage of her ex-partner taking his own life, in real time.

She said she had no idea where he was filming from, and feared nobody would be

able to reach him in time to save his life.

Guardia Civil and Local Police officers rushed to the man’s home, where it is claimed they were too late to prevent the suicide, and could only turn off his mobile phone so as to put an end to the broadcast.

According to newspaper reports, the man took his own life straight after he had called his ex-girlfriend to confront her about posting images of herself naked on social networks.

He then apparently switched his camera to record images of his own death, which were said to have been

viewed by family and friends, who are believed to

have also contacted the police.

Recognition push Spain floats EU Palestine acceptance

By Joe Gerrard THE Spanish Foreign Minister has said his country could put forward a motion in the European Parliament that would commit the European Union (EU) to recognise an independent Palestine.

Josep Borrell added the Spanish government would still consider recognising the Middle Eastern territory if the bloc refused to back the proposal.

It comes as left-wing parties in Spain, some of which back the Partido Socialista (PSOE) minority government, have reportedly begun pressuring senior officials to support full Palestinian statehood.

Opponents are concerned Israel could recognise an independent Cataluña in retaliation if Spain goes ahead with the plan.

Borrell said he planned to launch an “intensive” consultation process with his opposite numbers in EU member states with the view to securing a timetable for the initiative.

“The issue is on the table. It is a momentous decision, the consequences and effects of which must be studied. These are being analysed,” the minister said.

The EU currently officially backs a two state solution to the Palestinian question which would see an independent Palestine co-exist alongside Israel.

Borrell’s comments were welcomed by Palestinian authorities who said the move would help bring peace to the territory.

“The determination of Spain to recognise the Palestinian state and statements from their Foreign Minister represent direct steps towards peace, the end of Israeli occupation and stability in the Middle East,” the authority said.

Ahmed Abulgueit, Secretary General of the Arab League,

said Spain should recognise Palestinian statehood even if the EU does not back the move.

Angel Mas, the head of the Spain-based pro-Israeli Action and Communication on the Middle East (ACOM), said there was a “real possibility” Tel Aviv may recognise Cataluña’s independence in response.

E m manuel Nahshon, Israel’s Foreign Minister, said he did not comment on “speculation” when asked about the proposal.

Palestine is recognised by 136 United Nations member states but many such as Spain, Britain and the United States do not.

Palestinian statehood is seen as a sensitive issue as much of the territo-

ry it claims is now administered and settled by Israel. The UN has branded Israel’s presence an “occupation” which they dispute.

Child abuse probe NATIONAL POLICE have arrested a 33 year-old man in Valencia who allegedly groomed a girl of 15 for five months before having sex with her.

Officers received a call from a member of the public reporting that the detainee, from Paraguay, was suspected of committing a sexual offence against a minor and was drinking in a particular bar at that time.

On arrival, officers questioned

the man and discovered a complaint had been made against him at a police station in the area the previous day.

The man is said to have met the child in February, and after five months of ‘insisting and convincing her to meet up,’ he had sex with her an unspecified number of times at an undisclosed address.

Police sources confirmed the suspect has a police record, and is being held awaiting a court hearing.

FOREIGN VISIT: Sanchez (centre, left) met with Trudeau (left) in Montreal.

PM’s Canada trip SPAIN’S Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez travelled to Canada last weekend for meetings with his counterpart Justin Trudeau who said his country backed a ‘united’ Spain when asked about Catalan independence.

Sanchez’s visit was the first time a Spanish Prime Minister had visited Canada since 2002.

The two leaders inspected a guard of honour, held a series of meetings and spoke to the press and public.

Trudeau said during a joint press conference he had confidence in Spain’s government and people being able to find a solution to the ongoing drive for Cataluña’s secession.

He was responding to a question on whether Catalans should be able to vote in a legal independence referendum as people in Quebec had done in 1980 and 1995.

“Obviously I recognise this is a delicate internal matter and I have confidence in the Spanish people and all different governments to move forward with a way that is respectful of freedom of expression and of the values of human rights, the rule of law and the Spanish constitution,” Trudeau said. Sanchez said on Twitter the Spanish and Canadian governments both shared progressive

goals on human rights and climate change. “We will design ways for our countries to work more closely together to build economies that work for everyone and advance gender equality,” he said.

The two leaders held a series of talks in Montreal. They approved a ‘Canada-Spain Co-operation Agenda’ which laid out plans to work together on a host of issues to achieve ‘a safer, more peaceful world.’ Both leaders also took part in Canada 2020’s Global Progress summit where they discussed security, diplomacy and human rights among other issues.

Trudeau also presented Sanchez with a picture of former Spanish Prime Minister Calvo Sotelo hosting his counterpart, Trudeau’s father Pierre, in Spain in 1982.

Sanchez said receiving the framed photograph was an “emotional moment.”

Trudeau’s comments on Cataluña follow Quebec parties’ unanimous passage of a motion which condemned what they claimed was Spain’s ‘authoritarian’ approach to last October’s independence referendum.

Some in Quebec argue the French-speaking Canadian province should also become independent.

Hard pill to swallow CHEMISTS in the Alicante region claim they are having supply problems with 382 drugs, a figure they say is unusually high.

And the majority of them are common medications which are widely used.

For example, Adiro is the country’s second most used drugs and is taken to control thrombosis by reducing the risk of blood clots, particularly in those who have suffered angina, heart attacks or a stroke.

They are also prescribed for patients who have undergone heart surgery. But pharmacists reportedly can’t get hold of 100 and 300 milligram tablets.

A production cut at the Bayer plant in Leverkusen, Germany is to blame for particular shortage, according to the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products.

The pharmaceutical producer has apologised for any inconvenience the production problem may have caused and ‘is making every effort to restore the regular supply of the affected product.’

SHORTAGE: Pharmacists are used drugs Pain killer Nolotil, is also out of stock in 575 milligram capsules and the injectable form.

The drug is banned in the UK and America and is being investigated by the medicines regulator after concerns were raised that northern Europeans may be particularly at risk of side effects.

President of the Association of Pharmacists of Alicante, Fe Ballestero, said while most of the drugs in short supply can be substituted with generics, it’s not a simple swap, patients have to go back to their doctors to get prescriptions changed.

unable to get commonly And as in the case of flecainide, which is used to control abnormal fast rhythms of the heart, there are not always replacement drugs.

Other contributing factors for the supply issues include a shortage of raw materials, problems in production plants, errors in the instructions or in the packaging.

But pharmacists blame low drug process imposed by the Spanish Ministry of Health, which leads to laboratories committing their production to other countries where the prices of the same drugs are higher.

Quiet summer

Trying to be helpful

ORIHUELA’S councillor for the Coast, Luisa Bone, said the lifeguard service made just 10 rescues, five of which were in La Cala Bosque, and offered medical assistance after 437 jellyfish stings during the summer high season, which ended on September 15.

WHILST most people understand that the flood of economic migrants into Europe is unsustainable in the long run, it would be a very hard hearted person who didn’t offer a hand to a drowning human being.

This effectively is what is happening as the last privately managed rescue ship in the Mediterranean, the Aquarius (which is run by two charities Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and SOS Mediterranée) has had its Panama maritime flag removed and once it returns to port, it will be unable to leave again unless it obtains a new flag.

The charities blame the Italian government for putting pressure upon Panama to remove the flag and although the Italians deny this, influential Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, has described the aid boats as a ‘taxi service’ for migrants.

It is a very difficult situation as many people find it hard to understand how these migrants are able to obtain the thousands of dollars needed to pay people smugglers to take them to Europe and also how they cannot follow the news to learn about the dangers that they are likely to face.

Much needs to be done to resolve problems at home but with Syria and Yemen still at war and with Eritrea only recently making life slightly easier for their young men and women, the apparently never ending number of illegal migrants will just carry on.

Spain is now trying to help but there are fears that if it becomes too welcoming then the trickle will become a flood and unemployment which is bad enough still will rocket again.

Now we want to hear your views.

Siblings found dead A FATHER reportedly killed his two young children before committing suicide by throwing himself out of a window at his home in Castellon.

The mother of the three and six-year-old siblings, who lived separately to the deceased 48-year-old, has been transferred to hospital where she is said to be receiving psychological treatment.

The incident took place shortly before 6am on Monday morning in Adra River Avenue, La Plana.

After receiving reports about the man’s body in the street at the foot of an apartment block, National Police officers rushed to the property where they discovered the bodies of the two children.

After notifying the health

services, several ambulances went to the place and verified the death of the youngsters. The type of injuries sustained has not been revealed.

A source said officers are trying to clarify the sequence of events and collect evidence, and suspect the 42year-old mother may have been the victim of gender violence.

His worried partner, Danielle Coupe, appealed for any information on his whereabouts on social media.

On Facebook, she said: ‘Has anybody seen Carl? He’s been missing since Saturday. Me, his family, and friends are going out of our minds with worry.

‘Anyone who was at Circus Discoteca can you message with the last time you saw him please?’

She pleaded to anyone with any information to contact her on 603 218 574 or call the Guardia Civil or National Police in Spain.

Danielle replied: ‘I feel like it’s not real. Just hoping and praying xx’ She added: ‘Thank you to everyone who has messaged me.

I can’t believe how many I have had. He’s still missing we are just praying for good news!’

Newspapers in Ireland have reported that Carr was jailed for eight years in December 2008 after he was caught in a €1.4 million drugs bust in Dublin.

He is believed to have moved to Spain shortly after his release from prison.

Chorus wins top award A BOUTIQUE financial planning firm based on the Costa Blanca sent waves through the world of finance on Friday, picking up one of the industry’s top awards.

Chorus Financial, a company founded in Javea just two years ago, was recognised for its campaign to educate the British public here in Spain.

The judging panel, made up of some of Europe’s top independent experts, praised the firm for its passion and ethics. Chorus won the International Adviser award for Excellence in Marketing and was shortlisted with just two other companies for Overall Best Adviser Firm in Europe.

After the awards, Senior Partner Tracy Storer said: “For Chorus to be recognised in such a manner is testament to the hard work we have put in over the last two years.

“We have not held back with our criticism on how certain firms in our industry operate, and we feel that by better educating the public, the industry as a whole will continue to improve.”

Chorus articles feature regularly in both the Euro Weekly News and RTN, and are read by tens of thousands of British expats weekly.

Sam Kelly, Managing Partner of Chorus, spoke exclusively to us this week.

Sam said: “The support we have received from Euro

Weekly News Media Group has been invaluable. Our campaign was designed to better educate those living in Spain who are considering financial advice. This simply could not be compacted into a tweet or 30-second advert, and through the good old medium of print, we have been given a platform to provide clear, unrushed and often vital information.

“We just hope that a small firm like Chorus winning such a prestigious award will send a message to the industry as a whole. If you do the right thing by your clients, and approach your business in an ethical manner, you can make a difference.”

A MAN is being held in connection with the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl and abuse of 12 other women.

The 27-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of approaching the young girl in the street, pushing her against a wall and restraining her.

It is then claimed he removed the victim’s shoe and committed a lewd act while licking her foot.

The young teenager managed to get away and ran home. Her parents contacted

the Guardia Civil, and while carrying out investigations, became aware of a dozen other victims who ‘out of fear or shame’ had not reported the similar events.

This led police to believe the aggressor lived nearby.

Officers arrested a Spanish man, who was recognised by the females, according to police sources.

The detainee was taken to Novelda station, and after appearing before a judge, was remanded in custody.

Elder abuse on the increase

by Tara Rippin ATTACKS on elderly people in the family home have risen by 22 per cent since 2011, with 4,398 reported assaults in Spain last year.

And the National Police figures show the most violent incidents occurred in Andalucia.

In response to the shocking statistics, a parliamentary spokesperson said that the increase in the number of complaints of ‘inter-family abuse’ could also be attributed to a decrease in the ‘black figure’ of this type of violence, which now has greater visibility, rather than just more incidents.

The report shows that in 2001, there were 3,603 elderly victims of abuse. A year later 3,605 reports were made, rising to 3,820 in 2013 and 3,933 in 2014.

Within 12 months the figure had soared to 4,316, dropping to 4,098 in 2016, and up to 4,396 a year later.

Andalucia saw the greatest number of violent incidents in 2017, with 1,146 attacks, fol-

lowed by the community of Madrid where there were 739 recorded assaults, a 52 per cent rise in six years.

In Valencia there was a 32.3 per cent hike in complaints from 548 to 725, and in the Murcia region, police dealt with 193 complaints, a 45 per cent increase since 2011.

A sixth of the Spanish population of 46.5 million are over retirement age, which represents 8.7 million people.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), elder abuse is defined as ‘a single or repeated act that causes harm or suffering to an elderly person, or the lack of appropriate measures to prevent it, which occurs in a relationship based on confidence, whether physical, psychological, emotional, sexual or economic.’ It also recognises that abuse of the elderly is an ‘important public health problem.’

In a recent study by the Guardia Civil, it was reported that the main crimes committed against people over 65, are robberies, thefts and mistreatment.

TALKS: Officers are taking preventative measures to try to stamp out bullying in schools.

Campaign intensifies THE fight against bullying is being stepped up

by National Police in schools.

As of this week, officers across the country will be raising awareness of this and other problems during talks aimed at pupils and teachers.

Data compiled by the Central Unit of Citizen Participation, which develops prevention and safety work in schools throughout Spain, shows that a ‘high percentage’ of school children between 11 and 16 years of age has at some point been the victim of bullying, mostly mild or less serious.

It was pointed out that the rise in new technologies and mass access to the Internet has

pushed the problem into a digital environment, meaning any situation can be quickly made viral, extending and prolonging the suffering of victims. Within the framework of the ‘master plan for the co-existence of safety in education centres and their setting,’ the police are giving lectures in schools across the country.

The topics being covered are harassment, drug and alcohol consumption, violent gangs, racism, violence against women, discrimination and the risks of new technologies and social media networks.

In the last 12 months, 5,000 such talks have been held, and the National Police want to build on this figure.

Proposal to charge customers to try on new clothes A NEW PROPOSAL suggesting customers should be charged to use fitting rooms in highstreet shops has been offered by a minister in Spain.

The idea, which originated in Castilla y León, would aim to minimise customers trying on new clothes in shops and then ordering the same item online from another retailer at a cheaper price, usually a multinational online warehouse.

Castilla y León’s Minister of Economy and Finance, María del Pilar del Olmo advocated the plan in a press conference at the Sectoral Trade Conference in order to address the challenges of the digital market on high street retailers.

María del Pilar del Olmo claims “big companies that sell on the internet” are responsible for the decline of high street shops in Spain and she suggests her “revolutionary” approach would benefit smaller retailers and prevent large multinationals with online mega-stores from overwhelming the market.

The Castilla y León Minister pledges to “work hard” to ensure her proposal becomes a reality.

Whilst only a proposal at regional level, it remains to be seen if other communities will follow María del Pilar del Olmo’s idea.

Domestic violence findings

by Tara Rippin ABU SE R S wh o c o n s u me alcohol have more difficulty empathising with their partners, a c c o r d i n g t o a n ew study by the University of Valencia.

The psychology and neuroscience team wanted to define a specific profile of men with a history of violence against women in relationships with different alcohol consumption patterns.

And they found that excessive and heavy drinkers have a greater number of problems relating to the feelings of their partners and recognising their facial emotions, than non-alcohol users and non-violent men.

Published in the journal Alcohol, the study aims to find ways to help drinkers stick to treatment available, as well as detecting the likelihood of relapse in violent users who appear in court.

Professors Angel Romero, Marisol Lila and Luis Moya Albiol, together with doctoral candidate Sara Vitoria, studied 100 men split into three groups.

Two of those were made up of men convicted of gender violence, one with high and another with low alcohol consumption. The third group consisted of men with no criminal record.

And the study showed that aggressors with excessive and continued use have a greater mental rigidity, are more likely to be inhibited, have a poor attention capacity and a lower working memory.

STUDY: One hundred men took part.

A spokesperson said the findings will be vital when a quick decision has to be made about a violent offender in court.

And they claim that the re-

sults could help prevent domestic violence, making it easier to detect individuals who are more likely to commit this type of crime.

Bullfight poll call THE leader of leftist party Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, has proposed a national referendum should be held so the Spanish population can decide if bullfighting has a place in Spain’s future.

In an interview with Spanish TV channel Telecinco, Iglesias admitted it would be impossible to ban the Spanish tradition ‘by decree,’ but offered that ‘it would be good to ask people.’

Iglesias suggested he would like to ‘democratise’ the debate on bullfighting, this could take place in the form of a referendum.

The Podemos leader said he would advocate: “asking citizens in their villages or in certain territories or, why not, a day in Spain, if the majority wants bulls or does not want them.”

Bullfighting in Spain is a tra-

dition which splits opinion.

This summer there has been several controversial incidents involving the animals.

Last week a bull was shot dead after breaking free and injuring spectators during a bull running event in Cuenca.

However, there is no confirmation that Iglesias’ proposed referendum would extend to bull events based outside of the bullring.

‘ABSURD’: Russia’s embassy in Norway spoke out over the arrest.

Diplomatic spat over ‘spy’ probe RUSSIAN diplomats in Norway have said that the arrest of a 51-year-old man from the country in Oslo on espionage charges last week was ‘absurd.’ The suspect, who has gone before a Norwegian court, faces three years in jail if found guilty. Russia’s embassy in Norway said on Facebook the pretext for his arrest was ‘far-fetched.’

Syria arms deal MOSCOW is set to supply the Syrian government with the S-300 anti-missile system within the coming weeks, according to Russia’s Defence Minister. Sergei Shoigu’s annoucemnt follows the downing of a Russian plane in the country which killed 15 military personnel. The Defence Ministry accused Israel of indirectly causing the attack.

Activist arrest A PROMINENT Russian activist has been arrested on suspicion of breaking protest laws while leaving custody on the same charges, according to an associate. Leonid Volkov, who is

close to former presidential contender Alexei Navalny, claimed he was taken to a police station as he walked out of prison earlier this week.

STAT OF WEEK €1.3 million This

Bank buy back SANTANDER BANK is exploring a bid for its own headquarters in Spain, after it sold the building in 2008 for €1.9 billion in a 40-year sale-to-leaseback deal.

The bid would potentially place the bank in direct competition with other funds including US investors Blackstone and Centerbridge, which are considering a €3 billion offer.

The sprawling complex located in Boadilla del Monte outside of Madrid, was sold to Marme Inversiones and leased back for around €50 million a year by the lender.

Credit concerns

Modric in a fine mess REAL MADRID midfielder Luka Modric has reached a settlement with Spanish prosecutors, admitting he evaded taxes and agreeing to an eight-month jail sentence likely to be converted into a fine.

T h e C r o a t i a n s t a r, o n e o f t h e favourites to win the Ballon d’Or i n D e c e m b e r, h a s b e e n a c c u s e d of evading €870,728 on revenue from his image rights in 2013 and 2014, via a shell company set up in Luxembourg.

by Tom Woods I n J a n u a r y, t h e 3 3 - y e a r - o l d gave evidence to a court that he had already paid tax authorities close to €1 million, the sum he allegedly evaded plus interest.

The deal reached with prosecutors involves him paying a fine that represents 40 per cent of the amount allegedly evaded, or just under €350,000.

Modric can also convert his jail sentence to another fine of

€ 2 5 0 a d a y, w h i c h w o u l d t o t a l around €60,000.

The news comes just two days before football’s world governi n g b o d y F I FA a w a r d s i t s b e s t player of the year prize, for which Modric is a finalist along with Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah.

A number of high profile players have fallen foul of Spanish tax authorities in recent years, including Ronaldo and Messi.

THE Bank of Spain has warned that a rapid increase in consumer credit, which has risen 47 per cent since 2014, has made the economy more vulnerable in the event of another financial crisis.

In a recent report, the Bank of Spain states that the absence of loan guarantees, except in car purchases, has increased the fragility of the sector.

To minimise these risks it urges both banks and the public to ensure that credit is based on ‘prudent expectations’ about what customers can realistically repay.

EU funds to boost Morocco

» BUSINESS EXTRA

Debt relief TURKEY’S banks have agreed to help international companies struggling with loan repayments, w h i c h i n c l u d e s S p a i n ’s B B VA a n d F r a n c e ’s B N P Paribas, after President Ta y y i p E r d o g a n c a l l e d high interest rates “the mother and father of all evil.”

Oil slip MIGRATION MONEY: The funds will be vital for Morocco’s development.

THE EU has allocated €234 million of aid to Morocco to boost efforts to stem illegal migration to the continent.

Its Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn signed agreements covering funding with Morocco’s Finance Minister Mohamed Benchaaboun, with Hahn confirming Europe’s commitment to Morocco’s national development.

Some €150 million of the aid is destined for the ‘Competitiveness and Green Growth’ programme,

aimed at strengthening self-employed entrepreneurs. It will also boost first-time exporters, the business climate and recycling.

The rest of the funds will go towards government social protection initiatives, aiming to reduce social disparities by increasing access to basic services.

Morocco has an unemployment rate of over 9 per cent, but this rises to nearly 30 per cent for young people, resulting in many looking to escape through migration to Europe.

THE Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has estimated that oil will account for 28 per cent of global energy consumption in 2040, (down from 31 per cent last year), due to the boom in natural gas and renewable energy.

Grey pay THOUSANDS of Spanish pensioners have protested in Madrid to demand an increase in payouts, complaining that the former government’s 0.25 per cent rise does not keep up with inflation.

Spain trains Ghana businesses THE Spanish government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ghana to train 2000 young entrepreneurs to boost the ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ programme.

The initiative will be undertaken by the Spanish chamber of commerce under the auspices of the Institute for the Creation and Development of Enterprise (INCYDE) foundation.

It will provide training and consultancy services as

well as assist the development and promotion of entrepreneurship to indigenous Ghanaian businesses, helping them foster investment and job creation.

Ghana’s Minister of Business Development, Dr Mohammed Awal has explained that the 2,000 beneficiaries would be the first batch of many to be provided with the necessary skills capable of producing first class international products and the adoption of modern business techniques within the industry.

Youngsters of today have no pride LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T write about Brexit, at least I haven’t for a while. The reason is that I have had the whole boring barrage of brain jarring bull totally up to here.

In fact, for the last month or so, I’ve had a personal competition. When I switch on the telly, I see how long it takes to hear the Brexit word uttered by some floating head or another.

This morning took the experiment to new heights. The first vocal sound that came through was ‘exit.

So, I guess that puts it to around minus a nanosecond before I actually became aware of the whole word. I’m also getting a mite piqued with all the vitriolic diatribes being directed at those who voted to leave.

The main offenders of these often-unacceptable condemnations are generally the younger generation. There are of course a number of reasons for this, the main one being that they are so cosseted and ‘nannied’ these days that most of them are utterly petrified of being cut loose from the ‘mothers’ of Brussels apron strings!

Heaven forbid they should have to actually look up from their mobiles, use their initiative and take a few risks in the big wide world,

TIN MAN: Youth have no knowledge of UK’s past. thereby actually doing something for themselves and their country. Which brings me to the second reason for their oft nasty reactions.

There is no sense of pride or patriotism in the youngsters of today. The schools are not teaching them our long and often glorious history, or the sacrifices that so many made for them to be lucky enough to live in a society that allows

them such freedom and democracy.

Indeed, many have parents or ancestors that hail from countries that they consider were pillaged and laid to waste by the marauding Brits of yore. However much we try to atone, some will never forgive us, and many will not be happy till everything that is British is consigned to past history and swept under the carpet of a new

faceless super state. Another reason to vote remain!

There is an ad on telly at present. The ad is for an insurance company. A young man of plainly ethnic origin, but with a cockney accent and presumably British, is trying to explain something that caused him to have an accident in his car. ‘A tin man in a dress or a Kaftan ran across the road, chasing a horse that was also wearing some kind of dress,’ he informs the rep. They then show what he had actually seen. If this young man had been taught the history of the country he lives in, he would have known immediately that this was a Knight in armour and his horse, probably originating from some jousting competition in the vicinity.

The disquieting point here is that the company who made the ad used this example knowing full well that the majority of viewers would probably have been just as lost for an explanation as the young man in question. Ah well...

So, Justin Bieber doesn’t want a prenup with his new bride to be, because he considers ‘marriage is forever.’ Bieber’s fortune is estimated at some 280 million. Would any of you wager 100 odd million on a favourable marital result?

Fools, money and parted comes to mind!

Lost or stolen passport or a simple replacement IF you have your passport stolen or lose it whilst on holiday, help is at hand to get the replacement quickly and efficiently.

Whilst the process may seem daunting at first, if given the right direction you can have a replacement within six weeks.

To start, you’ll need to report the loss to the Local Police station in your area and get a document to declare it lost or stolen.

After that you need to fill in an application form online.

In Spain you have to apply online, you cannot use paper forms nor can you apply in person. Before you apply you will be asked to supply your passport issue date, but this is not essential to your application although having that information will speed up the process considerably.

The LS01 is also an essential supporting document to present alongside the online application and you can print this off online or have it supplied to you by a company which has a huge amount of experience in this area.

The Card & Gift Shop in Quesada offers a fully comprehensive renewal or replace-

It may be easier than you think

PASSPORTS: Important documents which must be protected.

ment passport service for only €29 per person, or €50 per couple.

The service includes: Full completion of the online forms and any other supporting documents needed, certified and approved passport photos taken and printed in the shop and an insured and secured courier service to the UK. You can also have the new passport sent back to the shop for you to collect and they will contact you as soon as it arrives at no additional cost.

If you’d like more information about this comprehensive and efficient service, give them a call on 966 718 684 for any queries or to arrange an appointment.

It’s best not to delay reporting it lost or stolen to the police and getting a replacement, as in Spain it’s a legal requirement to have photo ID on you at all times.

The total cost for a replacement passport is the same as a renewal, £105.86. You pay £86.00 for the passport, and then Her Majesty’s Passport Office adds an additional £19.86 for the overseas return courier.

STYLISH: Arrive in style.

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IT’S Monday again and where would you like to be this week? The weather is looking a little dodgy locally and almost anywhere else appeals.

The plan for the week ahead could include the Cote D’ Azur and the Principality of Monaco where the annual Monaco Yacht Show will be in full swing. You could do worse than swing by the Casino, the Hermitage Hotel or if you are of a more modernist bent the Fairmont Hotel.

Shopping this week?

Conveniently located on the classic Formula One race series of turns the ‘Hair Pins’; in any event everything is nearby in Monaco.

Even the views of the sea are pretty good if you have the right rooms, the food is definitely moreish wherever you choose.

The shopping opportunities are also first class. Retail therapy of very specific kinds may be embarked upon. Handbags? Jewellery? Cars? Yachts?

Nope, this time it’s going to a helicopter!

As Fredric Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters pointed out in reassuringly bland corporate speak: “With approximately 300 helicopter capable yachts worldwide there are increasing requirements for more reliable compact and versatile helicopters capable of transporting passengers and cargo in all environments.” Seems like the essential retail therapy of this week! A helicopter is a much

more stylish way to arrive. On a yacht. At home or when just hoping to annoy a dear friend by dropping in for a pot of Assam tea.

The down wash from the rotating blades will overwhelm whatever leaf blower the gardener is using!

The brand new ACH 135 then looks like essential diversion of the week. You will find one displayed on the roof top Monaco Yacht Club, Port Hercule, Monaco.

HOT on the heels of World Health Organisation reports that the UK’s the third fattest nation in Europe - fuelled by a diet of booze - we now have the head of Public Health England instructing middle-aged drinkers to aim at two booze-free days a week. Phew, whatever next!

Some see this as an example of the Nanny State at its most patronising and absurd. But I don’t agree. The government spends a lot of taxpayers’ mon e y f o r m u l a t i n g th is g u id a n ce which is aimed at our very best interests. Of that I am in no doubt. That’s why I take every pronouncement most seriously and follow every bit of advice meticulously. Which I’m happy now to pass on to you...

A l wa y s e n su r e y o u ea t s ix , o r may b e se v e n . . . o r i s it eig h t. . . n o wait... five pieces of fruit and vegetables e a c h d a y. Do n ’t s mo k e , ev er.

Never use a ladder or other ‘dangerous’ piece of equipment unless you’re accompanied by two others, one to hold it, the other to supervise.

27 September - 3 October 2018

What a nanny state we’re in cheers! Make mine a double!

CHEERS: Drinkers live longer than non-drinkers.

Keep your coffee intake under two cups a day. Hang on... make that one cup, just to be totally safe. Visit government-funded health advice sites every day to keep tabs on the latest guidance, and follow it scrupulously.

Be extremely careful when making ‘jokes.’ In all probability you will offend someone, and this could be dangerous both for you and society at large. If in doubt, seek advice from the government-sponsored website ‘It’s healthy to laugh, but not at others.’

Finally and back to the real world, it’s always wise, when idiotic advice like this latest example crops up, to remember the old joke about the man who asked his GP: “If I never drink, never smoke, remain on a diet and abstain from sex, will I live to be 100?”

GP: “No, but it’ll feel like it.”

It was only recently I read somewhere that drinkers live longer than non-drinkers. But the logic of two ‘dry’ days a week is somehow compelling. Mine are mañana and the day after. What are yours?

Double G&T, anyone?

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Who is responsible for water leak?

I have an underground garage space in our building. Last week I observed water dripping from the ceiling. The floor was already covered with water and my golf cart was damaged. I informed the community administration, who informed their insurance company. The next day a plumber sent by the insurance came to find the cause. At that time the water dripping had stopped. The plumber told me that the water drip was caused when the water company changed a water meter. I expected the insurance of the community to cover the damage. The administration informed me that their insurance company does not cover the damage as the cause was not a broken water pipe. I cannot accept this and ask you how to proceed.

P M (Costa Blanca) I hope that by David Searl the time you You and the Law read this, someone has in Spain told you that you should proceed against the insurance providers of the water company. They caused the drip. I am surprised that your community administration did not tell you this and offer to help you make the contact. A report from the community administration will carry more weight than a private complaint.

Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana and Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.

TECH FOR THE TIMID

27 September - 3 October 2018

Fight or flight mode?

Terence Kennedy considers the plane truth: to switch off in-flight or not

COULD you bring down a plane by not switching your phone to Flight Mode? More than a third of travellers now keep their phones on. So perhaps we should indeed pay more attention to that safety demonstration?

Well here’s the horse’s-mouth reality, quoted by a commercial pilot the other month: 99.99 per cent of the time it really doesn’t matter, so go right ahead and second-guess the pilot by playing Infinite Flight Simulator.

It’s that other .01 per cent that matters.

First the myths. No, phones won’t interfere with the navigation system and send you plunging to your doom playing Doom. In fact they won’t interfere with any of the plane’s electronic systems - except perhaps the radio.

Does it matter? Probably not, if you were the only one aboard sneaking a last-minute call during take-off. At worst you’ll annoy the pilot or trafficcontroller with a brief ‘bzzzt-bzzztbzzzt-bzzt-bzzt’ on-speaker while communicating with each other.

But active phones constantly seek cell towers and bzzzt as they do so.

FLIGHT CLUB: Mobiles may matter.

Now multiplied by scores of non-compliers per flight.

There have indeed been at least two serious incidents where mobile phones could have been implicated: the crash of a Crossair plane in Switzerland in 2000, when spurious transmissions

confused the autopilot, and a fatal crash in New Zealand in 2003.

However the author of the tell-all Cockpit Confidential insists that “To date there are no proven cases of a phone adversely affecting the outcome of a flight.” Then he spoils it all by

adding: “But you never know.”

Far more dangerous on a flight, apparently, is the risk of our electronic toys hurtling through the air like unguided missiles during turbulence or other ‘unsettled conditions’ (as I heard one cool and calm pilot announce it while we brushed up on our ‘Hail Marys’ and assumed the position).

The industry has largely given up on that one and lets us keep our smaller gadgets clutched and running at all times, no doubt on the logical assumption that you’re more likely to survive a flying iPhone than a ThinkPad. Ultimately, consider this hidden possibility to delight conspiracy theorists everywhere: using mobiles in-flight is absolutely safe, but the airlines will never admit it. Why? The minute it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that phones are safe, a percentage of flyers will demand the right to use them, pitting one angry group of travellers against another, with carriers stuck in the middle, says our Cockpit Confidential man.

The aircraft cabin is a last refuge of relative silence. Let’s keep it that way.

Laptop dance EVER wondered why you have to unpack a laptop for airport security, but not a tablet? The official answer is that a laptop is less dense and could hide dangerous stuff.

Technology wasn’t the answer to ultimate passenger security some years back when, after an investment of millions in fancy new peoplescanners, airports quickly retired them in droves. They were doing their job too well.

The scanners showed passengers naked, to the outrage of privacy campaigners.

Every nip and tuck was there for the delectation of the staff, Playboy on the hoof for an eight-hour shift, said its detractors.

The death-knell sounded in 2013 with the arrest of one particularly diligent security man. Police found the juciest of the month’s x-rays on his wall at home.

They were unable to continue with these repayments and felt

“The outstanding mortgage on this property was €160,000 and the estimated value of the property was just €60,000 leaving a large shortfall. This meant that the property was in negative equity.

“The issue here was the client had significant assets in the UK which included property and ISAs. They were concerned at the possible implications, but we protected their assets.

“This was a long negotiation process. We fought hard to reach an amicable outcome. EU

Property Solutions managed to secure the voluntary surrender of the property and a complete debt write off. The couple were relieved as this gave them time to enjoy their retirement.”

THERE’S no doubt that Brits love to holiday, but did you know you could be falling foul of local laws next time you step onto foreign soil?

Laws and customs are different wherever we travel, but sometimes, the most unexpected, seemingly innocent items, or actions could get you into the kind of deep water you didn’t bank on as part of your holiday adventure.

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) recently launched a campaign to encourage travellers to check the local laws and customs of their destination before they travel.

Before you venture on your next break, check out these surprising laws to avoid a globetrotting faux pas, or worse still, a massive fine, or imprisonment.

Did you know...

• Taking gum into Singapore is illegal.

What’s more, selling it there could get you a fine of up to $100,000.

• Benylin cough syrup isn’t permitted through customs in Zambia.

• Enjoy a tipple while relaxing on holiday? Be extra careful if travelling to the US.

The strangest laws abroad that could land you in deep water

KEEP WALKING: Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral is no place for a snack.

You could get arrested while in public, even if you just look intoxicated! Public intoxication is a misdemeanour in most states, but in Texas, you could be fined up to $500.

• Eating a sandwich or having a drink while chilling on church steps or courtyards in Florence is an offence. So save the snacks until after you’ve mooched around the iconic Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

• Don’t even think about a kiss or cuddle in public while in the UAE as public displays of affection could lead to arrest and imprisonment.

• If you’ve opted for a holiday-let in Switzerland, beware that flushing the loo after 10pm in an apartment building is illegal thanks to their noise pollution laws.

• You can only dance in Japan after midnight if the lights are on! This law links back to days when dance halls were sometimes locations for prostitution. Strut-yourstuff into the early hours - but keep the lights up!

• Sitting on the pavement in many US cities is an offence. So don’t be tempted to take a rest if you’ve been waiting too long

for a bus in California, Virginia and many other popular holiday spots.

• Medication we innocently purchase over the counter at home is against stringent antistimulant laws in Japan, including decongestants Sudafed and Vicks. See our July article for travelling with medication risks.

Wherever you go on your next adventure, visit the FCO website www.gov.uk/trav elaware for up-to-date information on what your location has in store for you. And whatever else you leave behind, remember to buy reliable travel insurance. Globelink www.globelink.co.uk gets you covered up to age 89, with free Cruise cover and 50 PreExisting Medical Conditions covered as standard, including high blood pressure, diabetes, gastric reflux, hypertension and more.

Globelink Travel Insurance: for people living in the EU. Trusted for 20 years by our customers. Visit www.globelink.co.uk, or call (UK) +44 1353 699 082 or our Spanish link line 96 626 5000. Your Policy and Emergency Assistance Card will be delivered immediately by email.

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com I’D like to offer my sincere condolences to the family of the braindead scumbag in Carlos Haya hospital (Malaga), who crept in to my friend Jo’s ward at 8am and stole her mobile phone from her bed as she slept.

You are either a member of staff or a fellow patient, but whatever you are, surely there’s no room for the likes of you in a civilised society?

I’m sure you could find gainful employment in the gutters of some war torn country in the middle of nowhere?

Jo’s been in there for a month now, and is very ill, can’t speak Spanish, so the only comfort she had was that phone, music, social media, WhatsApp, Texts, etc.

And you just walked in and took it without a care in the world. I’ve seen some lowlife crime in my time, but that’s right up there.

If you have even a shred of moral fibre in you, give that phone back.

Seamus Neary.

Editor ’s note: A reward is offered for the return of the phone

Callous thief lacks morals Brexit with no exit

Just buying votes?

ON June 25 I wrote the following: ‘I am going to make a prediction. Imagine a mayor scares the living cr*p out of residents by telling them they have to pay €42 million to get council services.

‘Some 39 urbanisations will be exempt, but they don’t know yet who they are because the villain of the story won’t tell them. Then, he later announces that the council will pay the costs over X number of years. The villain of the story suddenly becomes the knight in shining armour.

Then he goes to the elections, everybody loves him, and votes him back.

‘For mayor, villain, and knight, read Maldonado (Mijas, Malaga). The fairytale ending is made up!’

An article in the Spanish press now indicates that 70 per cent of its urbanisations will be received by Mijas Council.

For the first time in his Mandate, Maldonado is 100 per cent transparent, but only in his predictability.

He wants your vote.

THOSE of us who have taken the trouble to look beyond the news of the mainstream media will soon learn that there is a Brexit without the exit. In fact we are going to be even worse off than before.

This current PM is as treacherous as the rest of the previous PMs since Edward Heath who first conned the public to take the first step into the long term agenda to remove the sovereignty of all the European nations including Britain.

What Theresa May has done is to deliberately be vague and drag out the negotiations for as long as possible in order to find a way to get around actually leaving the EU. She has been very busy behind the scenes making sure that we will retain our membership of all the most important organisations of the EU and importantly we will continue to pay for that privilege.

British taxpayers will continue to pay billions of pounds into the EU as before via these organisations as opposed to the current system for the benefit of the public so as not to alert them and in turn we will be obliged to continue to impose and incorporate all their rules and regulations.

The biggest one of course is we will be part of the new EU army. This was made clear by the current Minister of Defence that Britain will continue to be and contribute to the EU army that will be run by Germans with us of course paying billions of pounds for the pleasure of being a member. We will no longer have a national army of any consequence.

But the biggest con is that we will no longer have any representation in Brussels. It is win, win all the way for the EU and the big bonus is that they won’t have those irritating British MEPs asking awkward questions any more and can now do as they like and Britain has no say but will continue to be one of the biggest contributors through the backdoor.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

SPAIN wants a say on Gibraltar during the UK’s putative Brexit agreement with the EU which looks more elusive every day.

Gibraltar raising its head right now is the last thing floundering, beleaguered May wants right now.

There is a Spanish saying ‘eramos pocos y pario la abuela.’ No-one does irony better than the Spanish and despite the presence of ‘pocos’ it means there were many of us and then grandma had a baby.

This describes a last-straw, things-can’t-getworse and let’s all jump over a cliff situation, but of course it’s not grandma having a baby it’s the entire Cabinet having kittens.

SPAIN’S resigned foreign minister Josep Borrell explained that “whether we like it or not” Spain must take in some of the immigrants agreed with the European Union.

Not all, he added, “because they won’t fit in,” he said, referring to physical space. Although this is where resentment, when it exists, lies because not all of today’s immigrants want to fit in.

There were fewer problems with immigration in Spain when it was mostly Latin American or European because everyone shared a similar cul-

Brexit and the kittens The lie detectors ALBERT RIVERA is not doing himself any favours with his continued insistence that Pedro Sanchez’s doctorate is partly plagiarised.

Computer programmes that scan manuscripts for cutting and pasting found no evidence, but the Ciudadanos leader won’t take yes for an answer and is determined to prove that the president of Spain’s government is a fraud.

Sanchez’s thesis is run-of-the-mill, academics agree, but its main sin is mediocrity, not its provenance.

Politicians have just enough common sense to perceive that although the public expects them to make unfulfillable promises, they

The immigrants now arriving, especially those seeking asylum or a better life than their strife-ridden countries can offer, are literally foreign.

Consequently many now believe their principal mission is to operate as lie detectors.

Few voters give a tinker’s cuss about their elected leaders’ academic records but there is general weariness as they try to score off each other, winkle out lies or detect inconsistencies in their stories.

Rivera and Casado, especially, should get on with what they are paid for, representing the voters who put them in a job and pay their wages.

Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place.

possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on.

Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things.

Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year.

A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance.

Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice.

At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one.

An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride?

There is a wonderful enthusiasm about you at the moment.

Therefore, make a resolution to put more energy into everything that you do. The rewards are both social and financial.

You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself!

Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department.

Strange things happen sometimes.

Time’s a great healer Take care!

Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man THEY say that time is a great healer which would explain why, in England, they make you wait months before you can get to see a specialist.

My experiences here are much better generally so I was a little put out that after waiting over an hour past my appointment time to see my diabetic doctor... I have the diabetes, not her… she’s rushing me.

I had loads of blood test results to go through, some scans done, and wanted to relook at my meds, sorting out my insulin and other stuff. After about five minutes she starts giving me the hurry up treatment because she’s running late. What I don’t get is why rush me?

Why not the people that made her late in the first place? Someone has to explain to me how that works. So after five minutes I’m sent on my way still with loads of unanswered questions and a general feeling of bewilderment. I’ll get another crack at it in six months’ time - hopefully with more than the five-minute time allowance.

I’ve noticed a new menace on the roads - well actually the pavements. People on mini motorised two wheelers. They look like a large scooter but with an engine and a saddle on it. They are being hired out by loads of companies that usually hire out normal bicycles. Now, I have no objections to businesses renting them out, but I do wish some of their customers would be a bit more responsible.

Some of them whizz along, really fast, and nearly all the riders wear a crash helmet. I’ve seen them mostly along the paseo when I’m walking the dog. They would not have a hope in hell of stopping if a child or a dog got in front of them.

They ride on the pavement because they are scared to drive them on the road.

What nonsense! Because they aren’t confident enough to ride them on the road, they put everyone in danger that is walking along the pavement. This simply should not be allowed. If you can’t or won’t ride them in the road, then the police should nick these people.

And as with all these things it’s not the bike that’s the problem - it’s the people using them! The bikes are great but they need to be used sensibly. mikesenker@gmail.com

Making good food choices WHILE wo m e n wh o e n jo y a Mediterranean diet reduce their risk of a stroke, the protective attributes of fish, oil and vegetables are apparently less effective in men.

Researchers have found that females reduce their risk by 22 per cent, but the odds were only 6 per cent lower in males who follow the eating regime.

Cutting down on meat and dairy products, the preferred foods on the continent include fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables.

A nd t h e r e i s n o sh o rtag e o f studies wh i c h sh o w t h es e fo o d types c a n b o o st h e a rt h e a lth and even stave off cancer and fatigue.

Experts at the University of Anglia led a study of 23,000 people, aged 40 to 77, who were assigned into four groups, based on how closely they adhered to a Mediterranean diet.

Volunteers were asked to complete seven-day diaries of everything they ate and drank, said to be more precise than questionnaires.

HEALTHIER: All round benefits to Mediterranean diet.

They then compared their stroke risks over a 17-year period.

The findings showed the overall risk was slashed by around 17 per

cent, but with a massive difference depending on sex.

Those at high risk of heart disease, leaving them susceptible to a

stroke, also had a lower chance of the la tter i f t hey opt ed f or t he healthier eating regime.

But again, the protection offered

was higher in women.

The universities of Cambridge and Aberdeen were also involved i n t he st udy, one of t he l argest conducted, and the results were published in the American Heart Association’s journal Stroke.

Professor Ailsa Welch said that it is unclear why there are differences between the genders, but suggested it could be down to the types of stroke men and women experience.

However, she pointed out the study was too small to test for this and called for further experiments to investigate further the link.

Greek scientists have discovered that people over 65 slept sounder after eating olives, fish and seasonal f r ui t s, m aj or par t s of a Mediterranean diet, although the exact reasons are not fully understood.

But exper t s sai d i t coul d be because som e f oods i n t he di et are good sources of melatonin, a hormone that tells the brain it’s t i m e t o wi nd down and go t o sleep.

Know the risks WEARERS of contact lenses are being warned to look after their eye hygiene following the detection of cases of a rare infection which can cause blindness.

A preventable condition called Acanthamoeba keratitis causes the front surface of the eye to become inflamed, and contact lens wearers are most at risk.

The Acanthamoeba can survive in the space between the lens and the eyes. To prevent

the condition, lenses must be properly disinfected before wearing.

Experts warn that poor hygiene habits while handling the lenses can also increase the risk of contamination. And showering or swimming while wearing contact lenses can further raise the odds.

According to the American Optometric Association, wearers should never sleep in contact lenses, unless prescribed by a doctor, never put

BUILD UP: The accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain destroys neurons.

HOPE: New research may help find way a forward in the treatment of the most common form of dementia.

Positive step forward SCIENTIFISTS claim to have discovered why decades of studies have failed to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.

Previous attempts to find a treatment focused on the toxic build-up of protein clumps, known as amyloid beta, in a patient’s brain.

This accumulation slowly destroys neurons and causes memory loss and confusion.

But researchers at King’s College in London argue that once these clumps have formed, it is too late for medication to make a difference.

They claim that by targeting the little-known protein that causes the clusters to develop significantly improves signs of Alzheimer’s in mice.

Drug treatments that work on blocking this protein are already available in Japan and China for stroke.

Scientisits found that the disease’s progressions works like a circuit.

When the amyloid-beta starts to join together in the sufferer’s brain, it starts to break down nerve cells.

This causes these cells to produce more amyloid-beta.

A study spokesperson said that a ‘vicious positive feedback loop’ exists in which the protein drives its own production. And once this ‘loop’ gets out of control, drugs are no longer effective.

He added that this could be why so many Alzheimer ’s drug trials have

proved unsuccessful.

The team of researchers believe pharmaceutical developers should target the protein Dkk1, which stimulated the production of amyloid-beta.

Tests on mice, which were treated with the Dkk1-blocking drug fasudil for two weeks, showed a dramatic reduction in their levels of the protein.

The scientists now plan to investigate if fasudil, which is an approved drug for other conditions, could boost brain health and prevent cognitive decline in people with early stage Alzheimer’s.

Around 500,000 people in the UK are affected by Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia.

EXCESS GAS: Certain foods can reduce risks of bloating.

Listen to your tummy THE body’s reaction to certain foods can cause stomach bloating, an uncomfortable problem that can be avoided by making food choices that reduce the production of excess gas.

Foods known for their bloat-inducing qualities include beans, onions and broccoli, but there are things we can eat that help do the opposite.

Five bloat-blocking foods recommended are rice, banana, yoghurt, cu-

cumber and papaya.

Certain foods, especially some carbohydrates, are only partially digested in the gut, and this can result in gas build-up.

But rice is fully digested in the small intestines.

Foods with high sodium intake can be culprits as sodium attracts and retains water in the body.

So to counteract this, experts recom-

COUNTERACT: Potassium eliminates the negative effects of sodium. mend eating potassium, high levels of which are found in bananas.

Yoghurt has long been known for helping balance out gut bacteria. By choosing one with active cultures, the ‘good’ varieties in the digestive tract can be increased.

Cucumber is a natural diuretic with its high water and low fibre content, meaning they lead to increased urina-

tion and help achieve a flatter stomach.

Studies have shown that shavings of papaya contain a white substance called papain, which when ripe have a laxative quality which helps bowel movement.

As well as the foods we eat, the way in which we eat them is important too for a happy abdomen.

Eating regular meals means the di-

gestive system can get into a routine, allowing digestion to flow more smoothly.

Excess gas sufferers are advised to limit their intake of baked beans, cabbage, cauliflower, sprouts, turnips and leeks.

High fat foods and eggs are also notorious for producing bad smelling gas.

POPULAR: The supplement market is huge.

Healthy additions SUPPLEMENTS have grown more popular over the years with a number of studies claiming their benefits for a number of different health conditions.

Calcium is vital for healthy bones, which play an important part in a person’s health as they provide structure for the body, perfect organs and anchor muscles.

Poor bone health can result

in osteoporosis, which can make them more prone to breaking.

With age, the intestines absorb less calcium from the diet, and the kidneys become less efficient at conserving it. As a result, the body can steal calcium from bone for a variety of important metabolic functions.

Experts claim the memory can be protected as early as

possible with a fish oil supplement which are packed with omega-3s, specifically docosahexaenoic (DHA), which help improve the way brain functions and increase new cell growth.

And vitamin D supplements can help to lower the risk of heart disease. Anybody over the age of four should take 10 micrograms each day.

AS this summer nearly 15,000 people have visited the Torrevieja Salinas using the tourist train, the service is to be extended until October 28.

With tours commencing from the Paseo de la Libertad, in front of the Plaza Waldo Calero there is a great deal to see at the Natural Park of the lagoons of La Mata and Torrevieja which has a total area of 3,700 hectares, of which 2,100 are water.

In this visit using the tourist train you can see the salt mountains (garberas) which can reach up to 20 metres (as high as a seven-storey building) and learn about many surprising uses of salt.

Unusually, the Torrevieja lagoon is pink which is due to the pigments of certain algae and bacteria that only live in very extreme environments, such as the lagoon with its high salinity, and that also serve as food for a crustacean, Artemia Salina,

I am limited to a certain number of words in my column as are all writers, so this week one recipe only with many ingredients and instructions, but still fairly easy to cook: Chicken Satay with a Peanut Butter Sauce Serves 4 1 kg chicken breast, skinned, boned, unpleasant bits removed and 2.5cm cubed 250 grams dry roasted peanuts, crushed 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Juice from 2 limes 1 teaspoon chilli powder 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, ground For the sauce 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 500 gram jar crunchy peanut butter 2 whole large Spanish spring onions, chopped 8 whole garlic cloves, skinned and chopped 1 piece ginger root (7cm long), skinned

great ecological value, so paddling or bathing is not allowed.

Las Salinas de Torrevieja is the major producer of salt in Europe and the only one that uses floating means for the extraction of the mineral.

It is an inexpensive way to enjoy an hour in the open

which includes the ride and the chance to take pictures of the salt mountains for just €6.95 for adults and €5.95 for children under 12 and those over 65.

The first departure is at 10am and the last at 8pm although this will change as it gets darker earlier.

Chicken satay with a peanut butter sauce

EASY TO COOK: Chicken satay. and chopped 4 whole chilli peppers, deseeded and chopped (more if you want heat) 2 teaspoons salt, optional 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, ground 1 large bunch cilantro leaves, chopped 4 tablespoons soy sauce 4 teaspoons roasted sesame seed oil Juice of 2 limes 2 cups water 1. Make the satay chicken.

2. Prepare chicken, put to one side.

3. Take two bowls mix crushed peanuts with chilli powder, salt, sugar and black pepper in one, vegetable oil and lime juice in the other.

4. Dip chicken in lime juice/oil and then coat with peanuts.

5. Place in oven proof dish with two tablespoons of oil and coat by gently rotat-

ing and agitating the dish until the encrusted chicken is fully coated with oil.

6. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes (200 Celsius fan oven or 220 Celsius non-fan oven), or until cooked through.

7. Take out of oven and put to one side.

8. Make the sauce.

9. Place oil in pan and heat add spring onion, garlic, ginger and chilli.

10. Fry for five minutes add peanut butter, salt, black pepper, cilantro, sesame seed oil, lime juice and water, stir until it has a double cream consistency and is heated through.

11. Serve.

Tip: I have said this before, but it is worth repeating for those readers who are new to this column. Any meat, fish or vegetable ‘encrusted’ (I can’t think of a better adjective to describe a coated and fried or roasted foodstuff, it would also apply to bread-crumbed or battered fish, meat or vegetable) can be tested to see if it is cooked properly, simply tap it with a metal spoon. If the tap does not elicit a ‘resonant’ sound but a ‘squelchy’ one, it needs further cooking.

The Real Calendar Girl MEMBERS of the cast were delighted when Tricia Stewart attended a rehearsal of Calendar Girls at the Cardinal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio last week.

ACTS are staging Tim Firth’s popular play on October 18 to 20 and she had generously offered to fly to Spain to help promote the production.

A luncheon was arranged in her honour at the Portobello Kitchen in Villamartin and a gala dinner at La Cosecha in Benijofar, both of which were fully subscribed and those attending were entertained afterwards with Tricia’s account of the real Calendar Girls story, which was both moving and hilarious.

There was also an informal ‘Meet Tricia

Stewart’ event at Brown’s Cocktail Bar in La Zenia, following a fashion show at the neighbouring Looking Good Boutique.

The original idea for the famous Women’s Institute nude calendar was Tricia’s, and it is her character that is played in the film by Helen Mirren and the West End stage production was a roaring success, spawning a musical The Girls created by Tim Firth and childhood friend Gary Barlow.

Ticket sales have gone so well, that an additional Saturday matinee performance may be added. Information on availability of tickets, which are priced at €10, can be obtained by ringing: 699 982 726 or emailing: tickets.acts@gmail.com.

The charity are also delighted that all events will now be supported by Total Star Radio DJ Carl Thomas.

Tickets for all shows are available from their supporter Mister Print on B at Camposol or by calling Helping Hands on 634 456 701.

FOR the second year running the Murcia City Council and the organisation known in Spanish as Pase sin Llamar (sometimes translated as Come in without Knocking) will be running a series of open events in conjunction with World Architecture Day. Starting on Monday, there will be a number of workshops and guided tours culminating in the opening to the public of 22 emblematic and interesting buildings in the city on Saturday October 6, which is the actual World Architecture Day. Entrance to the buildings will be free of charge and without the need to book (although there will be limits to the number of people admitted at any one time).

Depending on the time and the building, some experts will be on hand at different stages to give some details about these iconic structures and to answer questions.

OR many people buying a property on one of Spain’s beautiful Costas or islands is not simply a matter of finding somewhere to live, it is also a question of buying into a lifestyle.

This is something that needs to be taken account initially when finding the perfect location for your Spanish home. Factors such as privacy or proximity to facilities like restaurants, bars, doctors and

PROPERTY S P E C I A L

Remember – style sells schools need to be thought about.

Do you want to be near the beach or in the mountains, in a quiet spot or near a vibrant nightlife also needs to be considered.

In Spain there is plenty of choice to suit whatever lifestyle you feel most comfortable with. But this idea of lifestyle is not just about where you live - it comes into your home too.

The best architects have long understood the lifestyle concept, and also know how this is a constantly changing theme, which evolves through the years.

At the moment the trend for new built homes is for light and airy interiors.

These are often open

count for this, with crisp lines defining the outside and open spaces defining in the inside.

For those wishing to sell a property that is perhaps not ‘on trend’ there are some things you can do to help.

Your real estate professional should be able to

help you with advice, and indeed many offer a ‘home dressing’ service to help you achieve a timely sale at the best possible price.

It costs nothing to ensure your home is clean and tidy before any viewings. De-clutter too. Put into storage any furniture that takes up too much space.

For the light and spacious feel, think about repainting in pale colours or white. It doesn’t cost the earth but can make all the difference to the desirability of a property.

Older floors can be boosted with well chosen rugs, but don’t hide a beautiful marble floor.

Whatever you do, make sure you present a stylish, modern home to prospective buyers.

Checks to make when buying a property WHEN buying a property in Spain bear in mind the golden rule that you should follow in any country - let the buyer beware!

There are certain checks that should be made before any money is handed over if you are to avoid an unpleasant surprise later on.

For this reason we would always recommend you engage the services of a property professional or suitably qualified lawyer to look after your interests.

But the following is a list of the main things you should ensure are checked for. It is by no means an exhaustive list your professional advisor will be able to tell you more.

The main four things to check when buying a community property to avoid potential pitfalls and problems are: 1) You or your representative should go to the ‘Registro de la Propiedad’ (Property Register) and ask for a ‘nota simple’ of the property you are interested in. They will provide you with an accurate description of the building including who the current owner is, if it is mortgaged or has an ‘embargo’ (seizure order) and all the community guidelines of

the property. The cost is minimal.

2) Talk to the manager or president of the community of owners to ensure that the seller has no debts against them: because if he does not pay, the debt goes with the property and the new buyer will be liable to pay outstanding community fees.

3) Read the rules of the community, if any, as it may include limitations and restrictions on what you may want to do with the property.

4) Finally, ask the seller to show you the Suma IBI receipts (equivalent to local rates) to make sure they have all been paid. Again, the debt is on the property so if you buy a property with debts outstanding you will have to pay them off.

BUYING: Make sure you are careful.

Doing it the easy way URING the economic crisis the Spanish government began offering residence permits to foreign buyers investing at least €500,000 in property.

The building boom had collapsed and with property prices falling by up to 40 per cent, the government’s offer was a variation on a retailer’s ‘Buy one, get one free.’

The idea was not limited to Spain as Portugal, Cyprus and Greece all introduced the same scheme and Malta has been mak-

D

ing a similar offer since 1988.

The success of the arrangement is demonstrated by the thousands of non-EU nationals who have bought Spanish properties, enticed by the prospect of a hasslefree residence permit.

Although Portugal’s is the most successful Golden Visa scheme with foreign nationals pouring €3.8 billion in the country’s economy, Spain is not far behind on €3.026 billion.

By the end of 2017 a total of 41,094 investors and their families obtained Spanish

residency after spending more than €500,000 on property, depositing more than €1 million in a bank account or spending more than €2 million in government bonds.

Permits have also been issued to ‘highly qualified’ professionals.

The scheme got off to an unsteady start in 2013, but jumped from 14,804 Golden Visas by the end of 2015 to 27,301 a year later.

Most went to Chinese and Russian investors and 77 per cent of that €3.026 billion was spent on luxury villas and apartments.

They lead the first five that also include Cyprus, Greece and Malta, although they have all leapfrogged Turkey due to the increasing security and political issues.

Making it into the list for the first time in a number of years is Croatia. Much of the renewed interest in purchasing property there has been due, in no uncertain terms, to the popularity of the TV series that everyone seems to be watching... Game of Thrones.

By far, Spain is still the favourite place to buy a holiday home and after a slowdown due to the economic crisis that hit in 2008 and saw buyers dropping off, the market has picked up at a more than impressive rate over the past 12 months.

buying until things were clearer. But the opposite has happened with a demand to move to Spain and cut ties with the UK sooner rather than later.

Brexit or occasional poor exchange rates are always overcome by the wish to experience the climate, the lifestyle, and the price of property in Spain.

Affordability is the big driver of where people buy, and three popular locations on the Costa Blanca are Torrevieja, Camposol and Villamartin.

The top 10 also includes Marbella and Estepona, as well as Mojacar, Bedar, Albox and Arboleas in the Almeria region.

Coming up on the rails, one of the fastest rising among property locations is Lanzarote which has been popular for some winter sun breaks for many years with temperatures rarely dropping below a comfortable 22ºC. Granada, Almeria. Ibiza and Cordoba are on the Canary Island’s heels.

Keep that summer heat in your pool!

BY the end of September, boiling hot summer temperatures are gone and our swimming pools could very well drop three degrees overnight as soon as temperatures drop below 20 degrees.

With a pool cover, this can be partially mitigated, but even during the day pools lose a lot of heat due to evaporation. With an air source heat pump, pool owners can easily maintain their preferred water temperature or increase it by up to 4°C in one day.

Poolworx has the solution to ensure you can enjoy your pool all 365 days of the year using a high quality heat exchange pump. Their units are made out of high quality PVC and titanium.

Installed by their experts and configured to your circumstances, you can enjoy pool temperatures of 29 degrees at around €2 per day.

Some people still believe running a heat pump is a costly endeavour but this is not the case!

Heat pumps are the most economic pool heating solution available and Poolworx has a simple, fully transpar-

STAY WARM: There is no need to freeze! ent cost overview available on their website or Facebook page. You can also view photos of completed installations and testimonials from their clients.

Their Duratech heat pumps are

highly economical. Heat retrieved from the air outside is transferred to the pool water. No need for direct sunlight, just the Spanish air is sufficient, making this the n°1 solution even on cloudy days. For each kilowatt con-

sumed by the heat pump, six kilowatts can be returned to the pool, which means five out of every six kilowatts are free!

Just one day is needed to complete the installation and in a few days

you’re ready to enjoy your heated pool during the coming winter months up till summer has returned. A pool cover is of course highly recommended to accompany the pump as it will save you even more energy if you apply them both. A selection of quality covers are also available on their website.

Poolworx guarantees competitive prices, has a very friendly and responsive team ready for all your questions and guarantees an after service second to none. Their technical staff is trained by Duratech specialists to the same level as their factory technicians in Belgium which makes their technical service professional and to the point.

Worth giving it a crack CONTRARY to popular belief, the peanut is not a nut, it’s a vegetable which belongs to the legume family, along with peas and beans.

A great source of protein, the peanut is extremely versatile and can be enjoyed in its natural form or used in a host of dishes.

And growing your own couldn’t be easier, especially here in Spain.

They need full sun.

If you have heavy soil, ensure good drainage by working in enough organic matter to make it loose.

Peanuts come in their shells and can be planted hulled or unhulled. But if you do shell them, removed the thin covering or the seed won’t germinate.

They should be planted two inches deep and five inches apart in rows two to three feet apart. Firm the soil and water well.

When a peanut plant is about a foot tall, create a hill of earth around the base. Long, pointed pegs, also known as peduncles, will grow from faded flowers and then push up to three inches down into the soil beside the plant.

A nut will form on the end of each peg.

Place a light mulch of straw or grass clippings, to stop the soil from forming a crust to allow the pegs to penetrate the soil.

One inch of water a week is sufficient for a peanut plant. As part of the legumes family, peanuts supply their own nitrogen so it’s advisable to avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers

which promote foliage rather than fruits.

Well-prepared soil will provide all the nutrients the plants need.

You can harvest the crop when leaves turn yellow and the peanuts’ inner shell have goldmarked veins. This can be checked every now and again by pulling out a few nuts from the soil and shelling them.

If left too long, the pegs will become brittle and the pods will break off in the ground. This will make them harder to retrieve. Dig up or pull out the plants and roots when the soil is moist. Shake off excess soil and dry the plants out in an airy place until

EASY: Grow your own at home. the leaves become crumbly. Then remove the pods. If stored in airtight containers, unshell the peanuts and keep for up to a year.

Novel ideas for small spaces THERE’S no better place than a balcony to bring the outside into your apartment.

They m a y b e sm a l l er th an a courtyard, terrace or garden, but they don’t have to be neglected or claustrophobic.

With a bit of time and thought, you can create a wonderfully cosy space and let your imagination go wild.

Fairy lights using coloured or large bulbs can provide attractive night lighting. Use soft bulbs for a romantic feel or coloured versions for a party atmosphere.

Cover walls and ceiling with artificial vines and place terracotta style vases in corners with wicker chairs and a small side table to create a garden style balcony.

Or place soft, plush cushions on benches to create more seating space if you like to have guests.

You could even hang a swinging chair from the ceiling, freeing up the floor space for pretty rugs or a feature floor.

During the summer months, why not place a small, child-size

Junk mail is not very subtle, so instead of dumping it on the kitchen table with the intention of ‘possibly’ looking at it later, put it straight in the recycling bin.

Try to open all mail next to wherever you file it, with a waste paper bin at hand.

This way you can file and dispose at the same time.

Alternatively, organise electronic delivery of your bank and bill statements.

WITH more and more people owning properties in Spain and spending a large part of their year here, pet travel has increased dramatically with owners preferring to bring their animals with them rather than leave them at home for any length of time.

Pets accompanying their owners on a trip to Spain can be accepted as luggage when the corresponding excess baggage tariff has been paid (regardless of the class in which the passenger is to fly).

As a general rule, these animals must be checked in and loaded into the hold of the aircraft, where they will be placed in a container (which some airlines can provide) but to be on the safe side it is worth purchasing your own carrier which is IATA approved (and will have a sticker or label stating this).

As only certain airlines and airports in the UK have the facilities to transport pets, (BA being the main carrier).

PETS PAGE www.euroweeklynews.com

Flying with pets

READY: Pets deserve a holiday too.

When making a booking for you and your pet check first that the necessary transport can be arranged.

Animals must carry the correct documentation, either with a pet passport or veterinary certificate or

with all required vaccinations (in some countries with an evaluation of antibodies). All animals are iden-

tified by a microchip, and you need the correct documentation for this.

Preparing pets for travel can be a lengthy business, with all the health checks, documentation and pet passport. So if you are thinking about bringing your pet into Spain make sure you leave plenty of time to make the necessary arrangements.

You can find more information on the Pets Travel Scheme (PETS) for the UK at www.defra.co.uk.

Guide dogs trained to accompany a passenger with a disability will usually travel in the cabin, unless prohibited by national regulations or the airlines. The dog’s transport, whether in the hold or in the cabin, will not be chargeable. It is not necessary to carry out any special procedure, but the dog must wear a muzzle, collar and lead. If the dog is to travel in the cabin, it will be placed next to the passenger in a place indicated by the crew.

In typical Rolls-Royce style, the maximum power output of the V8 engine was never announced, with the factory merely stating it was ‘sufficient’. The car was owned by Ali for several years - he was a known Rolls-Royce enthusiast

It has never been completely restored and is in beautiful, original condition, even the optional headrests are still in place.

Borjas Iglesias hit the crossbar for the spirited visitors with a deft chip, as Real’s underwhelming display left them fortunate to take all three points.

Atletico Madrid warmed up for their derby against Real with a 2-0 win at Getafe, with an own goal by keeper David Soria setting them on their way.

Atletico were far from their fluent best but Lemar doubled the lead after the interval with a composed finish.

Radcliffe rails against WADA THE reinstatement of Russia’s anti-doping agency undermines the faith clean athletes have in the World Anti-Doping Agency, says marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe.

Wada has ended a three-year suspension which followed a major scandal over alleged state-sponsored doping.

Briton Radcliffe is one of several leading current and former athletes to criticise the decision.

“This goes against everything Wada is supposed to stand for,” she said.

“It undermines their credibility and the faith clean athletes have in them.”

Wada president Sir Craig Reedie said the reinstatement, agreed by its executive committee at a meeting in the Seychelles, was “subject to strict conditions,” including giving access to data and samples from the Moscow laboratory.

The hosts took the lead after 10 minutes when the influential Xherdan Shaqiri’s shot deflected off Shane Long and Wesley Hoedt for a bizarre own goal.

Joel Matip then headed in from a corner before Mohamed Salah pounced on the crossbar rebound of Shaqiri’s superb free-kick.

“I wasn’t interested in the history before the game but now I like it,” said manager Jurgen Klopp, whose team will face Chelsea away on Saturday, while Southampton will travel to Wolverhampton.

Another right-left combination downed Povetkin, who somehow made the count, only to stumble into a left hook and a further flurry of punches on the ropes which forced referee Steve Gray to intervene.

Joshua had showcased his poise, intellect and devastating power, sending a message to the heavyweight division that the champion will take some stopping.

He had even been suffering from flu during his preparations and had a problem with his right hand before the fight, but said: “I knew he was strong in the head but weak to the body, I was just mixing it up.

“It could have been seven, maybe nine, maybe 12 rounds to get him out of there, but the ultimate aim was to be victorious.

TIGER’S BACK: Tiger Woods celebrates his first tour title in five years.

Tiger pounces on win AN emotional Tiger Woods completed an astonishing comeback to win the season-ending Tour Championship by two shots and record his first win in five years.

The 42-year-old’s victory in Atlanta was his 80th PGA tour title - only fellow American Sam Snead has more - but his first since August 2013.

Less than a year ago he was 1,199 in the world after spinal fusion surgery, the latest of multiple operations.

“I was having a hard time not crying on that last hole,” said Woods.

“I just can’t believe I’ve pulled this off.”

Thousands of fans filed on to the 18th fairway to follow Woods to the green chanting

‘U-S-A’ and ‘Tiger, Tiger’ after his approach found a bunker on the edge of the green.

Woods holed out for a par to complete a final round of 71 for an 11-under total before holding his arms aloft in celebration of a brilliant win just days before the Ryder Cup gets underway in Paris.

England’s Justin Rose lost his world number one ranking as a result of finishing tied fourth, but secured the overall FedEx Cup which determines the season-long PGA Tour champion, the first Englishman to do so.

Rose birdied the 18th at East Lake for a 73 to finish on six under and seal the top-five finish he needed to win the €8.5 million bonus on offer as FedEx Cup champion.
