OVERTURNED: Lorries on a ferry from Barcelona due to the storm on Tuesday night.
Lorries overturned on ferry SEVERAL lorries have capsized in the hold of the ship Balearia Hypatia of Alexandria which sailed the Barcelona-Alcudia-Ciutadella route and was forced to dock in Palma due to the storm on Tuesday night. The lorries were completely overturned and many of
them suffered significant blows and breakages due to the intense waves as well as damaging other cars in the hold. According to Balearia, “tonight’s weather has led to the displacement of several trailers and the overturning of three lorries on the main deck of the ship.” Fortunately, nobody was
injured in the incident. Passengers have protested to the ferry company about the situation as they believe that they should have secured the vehicles knowing the intensity of the storm. Balearia has reported that on Wednesday morning they were working to remove the damaged lorries from the ferry.

LETTERS VIBRANT CITY: The stunning Guggenheim Museum reflects the light over the Ria de Bilbao.
THE BEATING HEART OF BASQUE COUNTRY The city of Bilbao has evolved from a looming grey industrial port in the 1970s to a cosmopolitan hive of culture, architecture and history that is a must see for anyone visiting the north of Spain. SINCE the economic crisis crippled the country around 30 years ago, Bilbao has undergone a journey of rebirth to cement its place as one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Bilbao enlisted the help from famous architects and inventors such as Frank Gehry, Sir Norman Foster and Santiago Calatrava to transform the infrastructure of the city into modern day works of art, whilst still maintaining the rich heritage
that formed the bedrock of the capital of the Basque Country. Perhaps the most famous of the sights is the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum. Built in 1997 the titanium construction was revolutionary, transforming the look of the river banks. Today it houses works from artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons, Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein and Anslem Kiefer. Bilbao is also known for its culinary de-

The Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs announced the findings at the first Conference on Migraines in the Balearic Islands, which will take place until Saturday at the Son Espases Hospital. The Minister of Health and Consumer Affairs, Patricia Gomez, presided over the inauguration. According to Gomez, these conferences “will serve as a meeting point for exchanging ideas and developing strategies that will improve the quality of life of patients.” The councillor also praised the fact that people that suffer with migraines have been involved in the conference which will help people raise awareness and seek treatment for a condition that can be painful and debilitating.

Man held for abusing niece THE Guardia Civil of Calvia has arrested a Spanish man for allegedly sexually abusing his 10-year-old niece at a home in Andratx. The alleged event took place around 8pm last Monday when the girl’s aunts went for a walk and left the suspect alone with the young girl. When the women returned they found the man on the sofa with the girl with their trousers down and the man rubbing himself on the girl. The women filed a complaint with the Guardia Civil and the man was arrested around 1.30am for alleged sexual abuse. Two Guardia Civil officers transferred the man to court on Tuesday morning where he reportedly appeared dishevelled. The man was released on bail after appearing before the judge.

Zoo director Henning Mentz told Sun Online: “The photos and comments shared on Facebook and TripAdvisor do not accurately represent conditions at the park. The zoo has a vet on-site at all times to tend to the animals should they suffer injury or become sick.”
Rapist sent to jail THE caretaker accused of raping an elderly woman at the La Bonanova residence in Palma handed himself into the Son Espases hospital on Friday where he told nurses: “I did bad things to a woman.” He was then transferred to the psychiatric unit of Son Llatzer Hospital. Officers of the Family and Women’s Unit (UFAM) of the National Police went to the hospital immediately and arrested him after receiving the complaint from relatives of the victim. On Saturday he was taken to court where the judge sent him straight to prison. A worker surprised the man on top of the 94-year-old victim on August 28, who reported the incident to her supervisor who spoke with the accused and fired him immediately. The president of the Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS), Javier de Juan, explained on Monday in a press conference that they will implement a new law to protect the elderly and insist on criminal background checks for anyone that cares for the elderly. De Juan also said that the young man has no record and had not shown any suspicious behaviour prior to what happened. The councilman of Social Affairs condemned the incident by saying: “We will not tolerate or allow this type of action. An individual case cannot overshadow all the excellent work they do every day in the care of our elderly.”

PALMA has once again become one of the only Spanish cities among the 20 most attractive for international tourists alongside Barcelona, according to the Global D e stinatio n Citie s I nde x 2 0 1 9 which is produced by Mastercard. Palma, with 8.9 million tourists in 2018, has dropped two places to 19th position while Barcelona, with nine million tourists in 2018, has climbed one place to 17th position. The cities at the top of the list were Bangkok with 22 million tourists, followed by Paris and London with just over 19 million tourists each. In Europe, Paris rose up the ranks as the most attractive destination, followed by London, which lost the first place, while Palma entered the ‘top 10,’ achieving position seven. Looking ahead to 2019, the report predicts that Palma will have seen a growth of 4.4 per cent, while the European cities that will grow most are Istanbul and Antalya, with 8.1 per cent each. Regarding the European destinations where tourists spent the most money in 2018, four Spanish cities are among the top 10: Palma, in third place with €11,453 million, Santa Cruz de la Palma in fourth with €8,171 million, Barcelona in sixth with €7,122 million, and Madrid in eighth with €4,766 million.

BEACH MOVE: Calo des Moro will be an alcohol and smoke free zone by November.
No fags or booze THE beautiful beach, Calo des Moro, has recently been made a non-smoking beach by the Santanyi Town Hall, but they have now made the surprising decision to make the beach alcohol free as well. The move is intended to limit the illegal sale of alcohol at the beach as well as reduce drunken behaviour and make the beach less crowded.
Fines of between €50-300 will be imposed for people disobeying the new regulations. It is expected that the new regulations will be in place following a council meeting in November. Banning smoking on beaches has long been a topic of conversation for the health and environment ministries as cigarette butts are left all over the beach which is damaging to the marine life and pollutes the beaches and surrounding areas.

Social Security crackdown IT has been announced that the Social Security investigates between 150 and 200 cases of alleged fraud in the Balearic Islands every six months. This was explained on Tuesday by the head of the fight against Social Security fraud in the Islands, Maria Jesus Espinosa. Data is being analysed to identify irregular behaviour, conduct inspections and promote new ways to prevent fraud in Mallorca. According to data from the
first six months of this year, the Social Security investigated 80 firms registered as companies to find out if they are actually fictitious labour entities. Another 35 cases were investigated of possible false self-employed workers. So far, four companies and seven other fictitious self-employed people have been uncovered and will be sanctioned accordingly. Seventy fraudulent registrations at the Social Security have also been discovered, some of which were part of the four fictitious companies.
Another 40 cases are in progress for alleged crimes against the Social Security, which are in breach of Article 307 of the Criminal Code and 10 lawsuits have already been filed for alleged crimes, mainly in the construction and hospitality sectors. Social Security fraud is considered a crime when the authority is defrauded of an amount in excess of €50,000, either by evading the payment of contributions or obtaining refunds or benefit from deductions inappropriately.
More anti-tourist graffiti ARCA and the association, Palma XXI, have denounced the appearance of more anti-tourism graffiti that has appeared on a sculpture on the Paseo Sagrera.

law making it illegal for the Prime Minister to end talks with Brussels without a deal. Boris Johnson has said he would rather be ‘dead in a ditch’ than plead for an extension to the October 31 deadline. Although the Prime Minister insists he does not want to leave without a deal and is convinced he can reach an agreement, he has pledged to leave the EU ‘come what may.’ Mr Johnson attempted once again to call a snap General Election, but the opposition remained firm in its demands that the law be passed first. At the same time, Mr Johnson was meeting with the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in a bid to break the ‘back stop’ deadlock. The Taoiseach invited Boris Johnson for talks for the first time since he took the Downing Street job. Mr Vardakar warned the UK Prime Minister that there was ‘no such thing’ as a clean break with the EU, but Mr Johnson said a no-deal would be a failure that the Irish Government would bear responsibility for as well as the British Government. The back stop is a mechanism to avoid a hard Irish border. Mr Johnson has said he will not sign a deal that includes the back stop, but will never introduce checks at the Northern Ireland border.

CALLS have been made for the Prime Minister to be impeached if he pursues a no-deal Brexit. The Welsh party Plaid Cymru has made the call to prevent Boris Johnson by-passing the vote by Parliament to prevent the UK leaving Europe without a deal. A UK Prime Minister has never been successfully impeached, but Mr Johnson was among those who called for Tony Blair to be impeached in 2004. Impeachment would allow Parliament to bring a Prime Minister to trial for high treason if he refuses to abide by the will of Parliament. The impeachment proposal was put forward by Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts. She said: “Boris Johnson has already driven a bulldozer through the constitution so no longer are ideas like impeachment farfetched.”

This historic meeting has come at an invaluable time as both governments are at a crucial point in the negotiations regarding the UK’s departure from the EU in October. In an interview he gave shortly after his appointment
as ambassador, Hugh said, “as the United Kingdom prepares to leave the EU on October 31, we enter a new phase of our vibrant bilateral relationship. Some links with our country that, far from breaking with Brexit, are at their best.” He has also repeated on numerous occasions since entering his role, that both himself and the Spanish government are focused on protecting the rights of UK citizens in Spain.

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Brexit prompted suicide
A GLOUCESTERSHIRE coroner blamed a French mother’s death last March on worries over Brexit. France Marie-Louise Davis, who was 76, had lived in Britain with her British husband, 74, for more than 50 years. Although they were planning to move to France, Mrs Davies expressed “worries and anxieties” about the UK’s departure from the EU. Mrs Davies, who had a history of depression, had previously been treated for pneumonia and her mobility was affected, the court heard during the inquest. She walked out of her home in Tewkesbury (Gloucestershire) on March 18 this year and was never seen again. Earlier that day, she took the family pet to the vet’s but was brought home in a distressed state after it died. Her body was found two days later in a flooded field, nine days before the original March 29 Brexit day, the court heard. “This lady had a history of depression and low mood, she was anxious about Brexit and had recently lost a beloved family pet,” said senior Gloucestershire coroner Katie Skerret, returning a verdict of suicide by drowning.

Hunt for Bilbao wolfpack members THE Basque Country police force, Ertaintza is on the hunt for four of the members of the infamous ‘Wolfpack’sexual assault case after they have failed to report to court for the past two weeks. The judge in charge of the investigation has sent a location order to the Autonomous Police to track down the missing members after they were released after only 20 days in detention. Their release was on the strict instructions that the ring

DEMONSTRATIONS: The Bilbao case led to nationwide protests against sexual violence. leader of the ‘pack’ would appear in court daily to prove that
he had not left the city. The other three members missing were
due to appear fortnightly thanks to their role in the attack. According to police statements, there is currently no indication where the four missing fugitives are. Only one of the aggressors currently remains in prison for the assault in which a young woman of 18 years old was led to the Etxebarria Park area of Bilbao and reportedly set upon by a group of six individuals. The case caught the interest of people across social media and brought to the forefront the potential inconsistencies of Spain’s sexual assault laws.
Straight through for ambulances SAMU ambulances will not, after all, be obliged to queue at motorway tollgates. The Ministry of Public Works announced not long ago that SAMU ambulances and police vehicles were not subject to motorway tolls. This caused more problems than it solved, obliging ambulance crews to queue at the tollbooths, call an employee and provide documentation proving that they were attending an emergency.
SAMU ambulances are mobile intensive care units and are either transferring patients to hospital or are on their way to an emergency. The new motorway procedure has meant delays of up to 10 minutes in critical situations and the alternative of using main roads, particularly the N-332, is too hazardous and time-consuming to be practical. Until the Ministry announcement the SAMU ambulances were fitted with devices
that automatically paid the fee into the motorway concessionary’s bank account. The regional government’s Health department has now announced that the SAMU ambulances will again have the devices. “The way toll fees are recovered is something that the ambulance and motorway concessionaries will have to negotiate between them,” a Health department spokesman said.

Appy times are here
SPAIN’S ‘app economy’ has not stopped growing since the Apple App Store was launched in 2008. According to the latest technology data, jobs related to iOS apps have grown 26 per cent in Spain since 2016. In total, 77,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the App Store have been generated in the last 11 years. According to the data published by Ap ple, Spain ranks fifth in Europe in coun tries experiencing the greatest impact on their economy viaiOS apps.
By Dilip Kuner By city, Madrid and Barcelona are among the 15 most prominent European cities in this section. The Catalan capital is in seventh place, with a total of 32,000 jobs directly or indirectly related to the online store. For its part, Madrid ranks 11th, with 25,000 jobs. Apple claims to have created more than 1.5 million jobs in Europe since 2008. “In this time, European developers have created some of the most exciting apps in the world, connecting with customers in 155 countries, and have earned €25 bil
lion in revenue from sales on the App Store. Nine out of 10 euros earned by Eu ropean developers come from overseas sales,” the company said. Today, applications have become a fundamental part of the smartphone business, whether on Apple mobile phones or Android operating systems. Ac cording to the consulting firm App Annie, the second quarter of this year has seen the highest number of downloads and spending per consumer to date. Con sumer spending surpassed $22.6 billion worldwide in this period, a 20 per cent in crease over the previous year.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they get a quorum? I have always thought that for an AGM, there has to be attendance of 51 per cent, including proxies. At our recent meeting we had only 25 per cent. It was then announced, ‘Therefore, the majori ty required to pass resolutions is not met, due to ab sence of the remaining co owners, despite being summoned legally.’ Our problem is that there are very few permanent residents and never many visit ing owners. C C (Costa Blanca) Standard ly, the first announcement YOU AND THE of the AGM gives LAW IN SPAIN the time and the place, and also notes that if there is not a quorum of voters present, the meeting will be held at ‘second call ing’ half an hour after the first call. The law says that a quorum to pass resolutions is 51 per cent of the owners just as you point out. The law also says that, if this number of owners and proxies is not present at the first calling, a majority vote of the owners and proxies actually in attendance at the second calling, will suffice to pass resolutions. The ab sent owners have 30 days from receiving the minutes if they wish to protest the vote.

Iberia extension plan THE European Commission (EC) has proposed that Iberia, amongst other airlines be given seven more months to adapt their shareholding to continue operating in the European Union (EU) after a No Deal Brexit. In the air transport sector, the Commission pro poses to extend the extension granted to foreign airlines to adapt to Community legislation from the current March 30, 2020 until October 24.
Iberia, part of the IAG group, would automati cally lose the capacity to operate flights between two EU cities because more than 50 per cent of its shares would belong to a UK group, which would be a nonEU country. Iberia must restructure its shareholding so that more than half of its shares are held by an EUbased company, not by third countries, a requirement for being able to operate flights between two European Union cities.

Economy forging ahead HOUSEHOLD spending is helping Spain buck the Eurozone trend where the big economies are on the verge of recession. The region’s fourthlargest economy has outperformed the Eurozone’s average growth rate of five years. This was in the past on the back of exports growth, but now its consumers that are driving its growth. Gross domestic product is expected to rise in Spain by more than 2 per cent this year, compared with less than 0.5 per cent for Germany and just over 1 per cent for the Eurozone.

That was the year that the country’s wealth tax was reintroduced, in the middle of the economic recession. Hacienda (Inland Revenue) figures for 2017 recently re leased show that 611 taxpay ers declared net assets of €30 million or more, com pared to the 352 who did so in 2011. When it comes to proper ty, the number of citizens who declared property worth more than €1.5 million grew 35 per cent to a total of 60,337 individuals. The wealth tax is highly controversial. It is paid on top of income or capital gains where an individual’s net assets are worth more than €700,000. Although it is a state levy the power has been de volved to the autonomous

Cataluña, which does col lect the wealth tax, takes in €498.5 million annually while in Madrid there is a 100 per cent allowance, so the super rich tax residents in the city
don’t have to pay anything. Hacienda’s figures show that in 2017 there were 71 people worth more than €100 million living in Spain. While these figures seem to show a big rise in the numbers of superrich, it could be simply that they are now visible.
A tax amnesty in 2012 un covered €40 billion that had been previously undeclared. Then in 2013 a new law was passed that forced indi viduals to declare their inter national assets or face a stiff fine. This uncovered €156 billion in assets that Spanish residents had abroad.
OVERALL recorded music revenues in Spain grew by 27 per cent in the first six months of this year to €140.7 million on physical and digital music, compared to €110.9 million in the first half of 2018.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

A political problem
CAN no one rid us of this turbulent blot? This whole Brexit debacle, which has, among other international embarrassments, made us the laughing stock of Europe, has actually achieved at least one positive result; it has finally revealed the true nature and motives of our so-called leaders. The whole fiasco has very little to do with the British public, and certainly no connection to our democracy. It is purely a battle royal between the privileged few. Arrogant elitists who, in the main, have no interest whatsoev er in how the public think or act, unless it somehow threatens their own selfcentered ambitions. These governmental manipulators, particu larly the remoaners, have shown us they will sink to just about any level to protect their vested interests. I also find it interesting in the way they are insisting Boris asks for a further extension. How can they be so sure that the EU will comply? On numerous occasions the EU leaders have told us they will in no way grant us more time. Could it be the ‘old boys’ club’ knows something we don’t? No whiff of possible collusion there surely? Heaven for bid we should suspect them of anything as
devious as that! Well, be that as it may, you can rest assured many among them have plenty to lose. Over the years dozens of MPs and peers have collectively received millions in EU subsidies. Fortyeight wealthy farmer/ landown ers claim 5.7 million a year from the EU. Over 30 former MEPs and offi cials in the House of Lords draw up to €500,000 a year in EU pensions. Many have tak en an oath of loyalty to the EU not to attack the old in stitution. (Yep!) Among them is the utterly useless Neil Kinnock (87,000 PA), Lord (Mandy) Mandelson (34,000 PA), Lord Tugendhat (41,000PA) and so on. Company leaders also put their narrow vested interests before the UK’s overall economic interests, mainly because they know they will have to pay more wages should we leave the EU.
BORIS JOHNSON: Looking for a further extension.
At the very least these people are guilty of a conflict of interest and should undoubtedly be barred from any crucial voting in these mat ters. Nope, sorry folks, I’m afraid your political preferences really don’t enter into it. The only democracy these people understand is the one that concurs with their own selfish senti ments, and they will do anything to frustrate Brexit or anything else that may threaten or interfere with their own lucrative ambitions. Well I’m here to warn them to be careful what they wish for. What these parliamentary conspirators don’t understand, is that by try ing to destroy Boris Johnson, they are taking away what could finally be a resolution to the whole sorry mess. For the first time since the referendum the public can see some light at the end of the tunnel and they won’t take kindly to seeing it snatched away yet again. It is not the public who are the instigators of all the confusion and chaos; we made our minds up three years ago. It is the politicians who are the problem. As usual!

Friday 13 and all that … NORA JOHNSON
BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
FRIDAY 13th. Rumours and superstitions surround this date in history, regarding both the number 13 and the day Friday. From a Norse myth (12 gods and their uninvited, 13th doomladen guest); Bibli cal references (Judas Iscariot, who be trayed Christ, the 13th diner at the Last Supper); medieval dastardly deeds (on Fri day October 13, 1307, King Philip of France arrested and put to death the revered Knights Templar for their Holy Grail secrets and wealth) to more modern times (Friday was the traditional day for public hangings in Britain with supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose). And how is fear of the number 13 demonstrated today? Some airports have no gate 13. Some planes have no row 13. Hotels regularly have no floor or room 13. But if not the result of just plain old co incidence, some past ‘Friday 13th tragedies’ were actually planned to feed into the mythology. I’m thinking here of
FRIDAY 13: Rumours and superstitions surround this date. the ‘Friday the 13th virus’ programmed to delete IBM computer files across Britain on that day in January 1989. Bad luck had nothing to do with it. Pick any date in history and you’ll have a massive list of genocide, murder, rape, greed, natural disasters, fear and loss. Bad things happen every day. It’s just that, if something happens on Friday 13th, it sticks in our minds because we’ve all been brainwashed to believe it’s bad luck. In fact, in some countries like Italy, 13 is lucky while in Spain, it’s Tuesday the 13th that’s unlucky! Finally, a few positives. Hollywood offi cially arrived on a Friday 13th. The Holly wood sign (originally advertising ‘HOLLY WOODLAND’) was unveiled on Friday July 13, 1923. Built to advertise a housing de
velopment, it’s since become one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions. As for the UK, the first nudist colony was found ed on Friday June 13, 1930: the North De von Club in Metherell opened and Britons were allowed to let it all hang out. If you’re still spooked this Friday 13th, maybe you’ll be even more spooked on October 31st: Brexit day. Halloween will never be the same again...

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it
nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.
LEO (July 24 - August 23)

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION
IRISH LOTTO Saturday September 7
Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

ENORMOUS carbon footprint
I REFER to your recent article in the Euro Weekly News. Each week we enjoy a great deal of live televised sport. Wonderful, covering all sport from around the world. All these events, football, cricket, tennis, racing, rugby World Cup, golf, etc etc leave an enormous carbon footprint created by the TV companies whose representatives, engineers, presenters and commentators travel by car, van, sea and air to provide us with our armchair entertainment. If the climate change and Green party people are genuine in their be lief about the disaster imminently awaiting us, they would demand the immediate banning of all outside broadcasting of sporting events as nonessential activity. Of course, they won’t and we all know why support would collapse. There are votes and kudos and good fees to be earned by those supporting ‘project fear’ in all its guises, so, as a demonstration of commitment to the cause let the climate experts and green political parties propose a ban on the televising of sporting events to be im plemented by world governments and then we would know they really are se rious! Alan Bryan
I agree with Leapy I HAVE just read your column in the EWN and totally agree with you. I am so pleased I don’t live in the UK. It left me feeling so angry that Boris has had the rug pulled from underneath his feet as regards being able to negotiate any deal at all. The EU must be laughing all the way to their meeting place.

GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive. We worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco efficiency of our homes. All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet. But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and ultimately leading to the extinction of the human race? According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles. These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made. Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures. Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind? Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet. After all, we’re only passing through.

Makeover your mornings THE mor ning can either be the best time of the day or the worst, depending on what kind of person you are. Whichever camp you fall into, how you start your morning can have a big im pact on how the rest of the day goes. Making small changes to your morning routine could quickly make all the differ ence. Although it’s incredibly tempting to reach for the tea or coffee first thing, try drinking a cup of hot water and lemon first which will help to start your digestion, get your liver up and running as well as rehydrating you. If you have a busy household, try setting your alarm 30 minutes before everyone else wakes up. This will give you time to take a nice long shower, read the paper or do some exercise; whatever

you find most relaxing. You might find this be comes your most productive time of the day, and could
help you make plans for the week ahead or pursue some creative activities. You could also use this
time to meditate for five or 10 minutes, helping to clear your mind and get you fo cused for the day.
Beat the bloat BURSTING: Feeling bloated can be caused by eating too quickly. WE’VE all had that feeling after a large meal or an indulgent holiday when your stomach can feel overfull or uncomfortable. It can be easy to assume this is simply because we have put on a pound or two, but sometimes even if we make all the right food choices the cause can just be simple bloating of the stomach. This condition has various causes, but thankfully can be easily treated. According to Healthline.com, ‘abdominal bloating occurs when the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or gas. Most people de scribe bloating as feeling full, tight, or swollen in the abdomen. Your abdomen may also be swollen (distended), hard, and painful. Bloating is often accompa nied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping or belching, abdominal rumbling or gurgles.’ The site claims the most common cause of bloating is gas which can enter the
stomach by eating or drinking too quickly, as well as by taking in too many carbonat ed drinks. Chewing gum and smoking can also cause the problem. If this is the case, try to slow down eating and cut back on fizzy drinks by eating more mindfully and taking time to chew and enjoy your food. Certain foods can also cause bloating, in cluding beans and legumes, which can pro duce gas as they are broken down in the stomach. Instead, try to substitute lighter coloured lentils and black beans which can be more easily digested. Wheat can also cause bloating in those who have a gluten intolerance. If you suspect this may be you, why not try some glutenfree alternatives for pasta and bread and see if this helps. While it may be good for us in many other respects, broccoli and other crucif erous vegetables can be hard for our bod ies to digest, causing a buildup of gas. In stead, spinach, cucumbers, lettuce and
sweet potato still contain plenty of vita mins, but without the painful side effects. Another unlikely culprit is some fruits. These include apples, which according to Healthline have, ‘been known to cause bloating and other digestive issues for some people.’ It seems ‘the culprits are fructose (which is a FODMAP) and the high fibre content. Fructose and fibre can both be fermented in the large intestine, and may cause gas and bloating.’ The website suggests switching raw apples for cooked ones which can be easier to di gest. Finally, dairy products can be difficult for many people to digest, resulting in bloating and discomfort. If that is the case, why not try some dairyfree alterna tives such as almond or soy milk and but ter. Cutting back on cheese toppings can also help bloating without impacting too much on taste.
Excess heat can cause halitosis THE long, hot summer days are upon us, but have you ever wondered what happens to the body in extreme heat. Some people love the sultry conditions and overload of vitamin D, but for others it can wreak havoc with the body. Hot weather can cause some painful chafing, un avoidable sweaty armpits and sleepless nights of re lentless tossing and turning. And then there’s the hay fever. But it can also give you bad breath. Excessive heat can cause you to dehydrate, which has been proven to have the unsexy side effect of halitosis. When the mouth becomes dry, bacteria accumulates due to a lack of saliva to wash it away. During summer months, the body loses more water naturally through sweating. This, coupled with an in crease in the use of hay fever medications, fad summer dieting, and increase in outdoor exercising and over ex posure to the sun, can also make the problem worse. It’s advisable to drink plenty of water, not just to combat bad breath, but to keep other body organs functioning well. On a positive note, a healthy amount of sun can strengthen bones. as vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, com monly linked to strong bones.

Rolls Royce and an explosion NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IF you ever believed that a Rolls- Royce was the only expensive and select car with an enormous presence then you would be only slightly wrong. August 2019 in the height of the summer season and RollsRoyce Mo tor Cars revealed an explosion of colour at the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Col lection.’ Inspired by the hills, sand and sea surrounding Pebble Beach, this year’s collection is the most colourful yet. The Collection included 13 beauti ful Bespoke Commissions, offered ex clusively for the clients attending Monterey Car Week 2019. The collection was led by the brand’s flagship, Phantom.

Cullinan, the bespoke division of RollsRoyce Motor Cars marked its second year at Pebble Beach with some of the most extensive Bespoke designs in the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Collection.’ The four vehicles on dis play during the week feature colours including Burnout Grey, Black Green, Iced Gunmetal and Galilea Blue. The iced finish showcases one of the most popular innovations from
the paint specialists at RollsRoyce. The subtle finish offers the solid effect of matte colours with an elegant shine. Colour innovations are nothing new to a design group that has built finishes using glass, silver, gold and di amonds for Bespoke Commissions. Following recent years of alternat ing drought, fire and rain, the Mon terey Peninsula this year was a sea of colourful wildflowers. Highlighting this year’s debuts were a trio of Bespoke motor cars showcasing the creative colour capabilities of the artisan de signers in Goodwood, Sussex the home of RollsRoyce. The Pastel Col
lection draws upon a palette of colours from this year’s ‘wildflower super bloom’ on the Monterey Penin sula. The collection included three oneofone Black Badge Commissions adding new colours to the RollsRoyce Bespoke palette and reaffirming the idea that a RollsRoyce Black Badge doesn’t have to be black. The collection starts with Ghost Black Badge in Light Green Solid, a new Bespoke exterior finish. The pas tel green represents the rebirth of the flora on the peninsula following the years of drought and fire. The hand crafted leather interior is Black with a
striking Serenity Green splash high lighting the iconic Black Badge techni cal Fibre. The drophead creation among the collection is Dawn Black Badge in Coral Solid which showcases the Be spoke finish that can only come after seven coats of paint and more than nine hours of hand polishing in the Surface Finish Centre at the Home of RollsRoyce, Goodwood. The new pastel colour carries over to the Be spoke Aero Cowling, giving Dawn a colourful yet aggressive exterior. The Dawn Black Badge interior is finished in Artic White and Sunset carrying over the visual imagery of the bloom ing northern California hills and val leys. The final piece of the trio is Wraith Black Badge in Semaphore Yellow, a bright and sunny finish for the most powerful member of the RollsRoyce family. Wraith Black Badge features a Selby Grey and Lemon interior with the iconic RollsRoyce Black Badge Starlight Headliner. The ‘RollsRoyce 2019 Pastel Collection’ presents Black Badge unlike you’ve ever seen before. Nick Horne, London, England

Invest time before cash when buying a new home ANALYSING the market and being aware of the possibilities and opportunities are vital when buying a new property. There are essential points to take into account before signing a mortgage to ensure that the joy of purchasing a new home is long lived. One of the most relevant factors is the location, and not just the area itself, but also roads and public trans port as well as the proximi ty to schools, supermarkets and health centres. Whether to buy second hand or new may depend on the location you choose. If you want to live in the centre of a city, the option is probably largely second hand, in which case con sider there might be costly changes to be made. If it is a new build, the expenses can come from factors such as community charges for any pools or communal gardens. Everybody has a budget, but if you stumble across a ‘real bargain,’ it’s impor tant to investigate the area, the possible need for refurbishment, and to what extent.

BARRY DUKE I HAVE 11 years to live. This I know because my husband’s iPhone told me so. The disconcerting fact surfaced when Marcus said ‘put your fore finger here,’ pointing at his phone’s camera lens. When he hit a button on the screen, the lens emitted a light and up flashed a message to say that my heartbeat was 83 beats per minute. ‘Is that good?’ I asked. ‘Well, it’s normal for someone of your age,’ he replied. But the app that allowed him to measure my heartbeat Cardiio also indicat ed that the 83 bpm figure meant that I could only expect to live un til 83, and am not sure this was something I wanted to be told. Later, Google informed me that the vast number of heartbeat and blood pressure apps available for iPhones and Android devices are wildly inaccurate and are about as much use as a walking stick to a walrus. Of much greater use to me is a fantastic app called PlantSnap, which uses your mobile’s camera
There’s an app for that
MOBILE PHONE APPS: Some are more useful than others. to identify thousands of plants. It not only names them, but tells one how to care for them. Until I downloaded it my knowl edge of plants was pretty dismal, but now I know the names of all the greenery and flowers on our balcony, and I’ve become hooked
on photographing all manner of things growing in various loca tions around our apartment. It was through this app that I discovered that the most prolific shrub in the area the Oleander is also the most deadly. There is a story that in Spain, in the times of
French occupation by Napoleon’s troops, an invitation to share a meal was extended by the Spanish to French soldiers. In the prepara tion of the meat, peeled Oleander cuttings were used as skewers to roast it, resulting in the death of many of the Napoleonic troops.
I then wondered whether the app could be tricked. Yes it can. I snapped a pic of Chris, a bar tender at Benidorm’s Company Bar, and it identified him as a rose. He laughed out loud when I said ‘Be grateful it didn’t say you were a pansy!’ After I downloaded PlantSnap, I went in search of other apps that would give me as much pleasure, but nothing save the iShaver appealed to me. It’s basically a virtual electric shaver, and emits a loud buzzing sound. I told Marcus, who has been cultivating his beard for years, to shut his eyes. When he did I pressed my phone to his chin and shouted ‘your fa cial fuzz is extremely annoying and I’m getting rid of it!’ His eyes snapped open in a panic, and for a moment I thought I’d get the beating of my life. Another fun app for those who don’t value their smartphones as much as they should is called Send Me To Heaven (SMTH). To make it work, you simply hurl your phone skywards and it calcu lates the height of the throw. The blurb for this Android app says: ‘You can challenge your friends to see who gets the higher score, that is, until your phone breaks.’ Even if I had an Android phone, I’d certainly give that one a miss!

Volkswagen owns 12 well-known car brands from seven European countries.
PORSCHE will use three drive technologies in the future: highly emotive petrol engines, powerful plug-in hybrids and from now on - also all-electric drives. This product strategy is reflected in the eight new models that the sports car manufacturer will be presenting at the 68th International Motor Show (IAA) at Messe Frankfurt in Germany from today (Thursday, September 12) to September 22. The focus at the IAA will be on the brand’s first allelectric sports car: the Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Further highlights at the mo tor show include three new hybrid models in the Cayenne series, the new Macan Turbo and the 911 Carrera as a Coupé and Cabriolet. In addition, ICONIC British firm Land Rover have been teasing us with the brand new Defender model for almost a year and under the code name, L851, details of the new model are starting to be revealed. In the latest press releases and photos, The Red Cross has been putting the proto types through their paces in the rugged conditions of the Dubai Desert. The photos showed the 90 version in a semicamou flaged vinyl wrap ploughing through the Emirate sand dunes and traversing moun tain paths. Purists will rejoice at the apparent off road ca pabilities that the new model still encompasses. Land Rover is obviously tak ing the new model incredibly seriously too, with estimates showing that testers have racked up more than 1.2 mil lion kilometres including 45,000 individual tests. The JLR Group have just an nounced that their latest in prelaunch testing will take place in the 14,000 hectare Borana Conservancy in Africa. According to JLR, plans are

HIGHLIGHT: The Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Porsche will also present the vehicle with which the company will enter the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in November: the Porsche 99X Electric. 12day continuous programme on the Porsche brand at the company stand
Throughout the entire duration of the auto show, experts from the com pany’s various technical departments will be at the stand to present a stage programme on the Porsche brand and provide an insight into current topics for the first time. The new Porsche
Taycan will play a central part in the lectures, interviews and discussions. Employees from the Development, Design and Marketing departments will explain the features of the first all electric Porsche. Other main content areas include the topics of motorsport
and Formula E, visionary future tech nologies as well as gaming and Esports racing. Next Wednesday, September 18 Porsche will hold its ‘Motorsport Day.’ The motor show audience can look forward to a presentation of Porsche’s Formula E car and an hourlong auto graph session with race car drivers, among other things. The ‘Next Vision Day’ on Friday will focus on topics about the future. Ex perts will deal with urban transforma tion and new technologies in the auto motive industry. And on the two ‘Esports Days’ to be held on Saturday and Sunday, Septem ber 21 and 22, live races on simulators will take place in which professionals and amateurs alike can participate.
2020 Land Rover Defender…
the story so far
SEMI-CAMOUFLAGED: The new Land Rover Defender aims to reinvigorate the iconic British work horse. for the new model to form a wider range of sub models, much like the Discovery. A plug in hybrid version is due in 2024 and a Sports version is due in 2026, whilst the first models are due to be avail able with a large array of ac cessories and specialist equip ment such as rooftop tents
and other outdoorsfocused options. One of the first things re vealed was that there would be two model variants, the ‘90’ short wheelbase version and the ‘110’ long wheelbase, and early spy photos showed that whilst the new Defender was notably more ‘boxy’ and
‘industrial’ looking than its stable mates the Discovery and the Range Rover, it still shared their aesthetic philoso phies. In the spy shots some of the details of the car’s techni cal specs are clear too. An independent rear sus pension set up is a big nod to
the dual purpose, on road as pirations of the new model, whilst a side hinged rear door looks set to return. Sources close to the project also confirm that it will ditch the ‘bodyonladderframe construction’ and opt for a stiffer and lighter monocoque construction. The new model
will also be fully customisable too, with options on swapping out the axles, tyres, transmis sions and suspension calibra tions to meet specific needs. The interior has also been heavily leaked from shots tak en at a recent test. A bevy of modern equipment litters the cockpit such as a proper sound system and sat nav. The powerplant is expected to be the group’s 2.0litre fourcylinder petrol and diesel engines as an entry lev el, moving up to their flagship 3.0litre for the range top pers. The official launch will be made at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month where the model will be shown to the public for the first time, along with full specs and details.

Hamilton: youngsters ‘get away with a lot more’ FERRARI’S home win by Charles Leclerc at Monza has left Lewis Hamilton saying the younger generation of drivers “get away with a lot more” in wheel-to-wheel battles. The race featured a thrilling battle between the young Monegasque and fivetimesworld champion Hamilton. The latter looked like the faster of the two drivers for periods and tried several passes without making any stick. Credit for that should go to Leclerc who de fended robustly. At one point Hamilton had to use the runoff area to avoid a collision and Leclerc cut the first chicane but retained the lead. After the race Hamilton said: “It doesn’t really matter what I think. I don’t really have anything to say about it. We’ve gone over and over it multiple times, it’s pointless me bringing it up. I avoided the collision, and just kept fo cusing on trying to get close again. “It seems like the new generation get away with a lot more in that space, of how they manoeuvre their car com pared to I’d say the more experienced drivers. But it’s good knowledge, now I know, and I look forward to the next one.” Leclerc was put on an official warning at one stage when he was shown the

De spite starting eighth Red Bull’s Alex Al bon ended up in sixth, ahead of the Rac ing Point of Sergio Perez, who just managed to hold off Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who ended up eighth hav ing started P19. Sebastian Vettel fin ished a distant 13th after spinning out of contention early on. Leclerc said about his win: “I think if you have to win one Grand Prix with Ferrari it’s the Italian Grand Prix. From the beginning of the week it’s been ab solutely crazy, I came here with my first win, and to win straight away the sec ond one here in front of all the fans that have welcomed me extremely well af ter the first victory, is just unbelievable.”
YOUNG GUN: Charles Leclerc won the Italian GP. black and white flag, but this carries no penalty. Hamilton commentated: “We’ve just constantly asked for consistency. There was a rule put in place, and then it was n’t abided by today. “They used different consequences for the rule today. I don’t know why that was the case. I guess the stewards woke up on a different side of the bed this morning, I don’t know.” He added: “I’m not unhappy. Of course, I don’t like to go backwards, but he (Leclerc) did a fantastic job today. I
put on as much pressure as I could. We had a couple of close moments, I think we can probably talk about it in private together, but there’s nothing major, and we continue to race. I’m looking forward to more races together.” Leclerc’s battling performance saw him take the chequered flag for the sec ond week in a row while Hamilton dropped to third behind Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas. It was Fer rari’s first win at Monza since 2010. Daniel Ricciardo took a season’s best fourth place in his Renault ahead of
Super Cup for VRAC RUGBY club VRAC have kicked off their season in familiar territory they are winners again. They have added their eighth Spanish Super Cup to their honours board, after im posing themselves on Alcoben das to win 3318 after trailing at half time.
The latter’s challenge grad ually faded as the game went by and they were unable to stop a rival with more ambi tion and crucially more ideas in attack. The match started at high in tensity with Alcobendas catch ing VRAC on the hop for a first minute threepoint score. There followed a ‘settling’ in period where tight defences and mistakes from both teams led to a fairly stagnant phase. But it did not take long for VRAC to start imposing them selves, although Alconbendas also showed flashes of attack ing potential to keep VRAC on their toes.
With both defences very tidy and attacks a little tangled, it was Tani Bay who found a hole in midfield to score a try. The current league champi ons cut out the earlier handling errors and started to look in creasingly comfortable. A pro longed spell in the opposition half led to penalties to put some daylight between them selves and their rivals. However, Alcobendas showed plenty of character themselves to take the fight back into VRAC territory and ended up going into half time just 1411 down thanks to a try from Iñaki Villanueva, plus more penalties.
WINNERS: VRAC took the Super Cup for the eighth time. VRAC came out for the sec ond half determined to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Almost immediately they had three points from a penal ty, which was followed by a
prolonged period of superiori ty, partly thanks to the yellow received by Alcobendas, but above all thanks to very good decisionmaking by the half backs. Mateu and Bay added two brilliant tries.
Santi Ovejero managed to score a converted try to close the scores to 3318, but it was too little too late. Now Spanish rugby eyes turn to the Division de Honor, which starts this weekend.
