Discovering Tartessos WHEN Greek sailors discovered a thriving civilisation in south‐ west Spain several centuries before the birth of Christ, they named the area and the main port Tartessos.

Little is known about this group of people, but a Na‐ tional Geographic production team has been in Manilva and will be filming around the archaeo‐ logical site of Castillejos de Alcor‐ rin.

It is expected that they will produce a 44‐minute documen‐ tary piecing together the story of a site about which scholar Professor Fernando Wulff Alonso com‐ mented “it is of such importance that it upsets any study on the origins of history in the south of the peninsula, and also any study on the subject of Tartes‐ sos.”

The programme should be shown in Spain this year and will then receive in‐ ternational release during 2022.

Comedy Horror at Salón Varietés A PRODUCTION of Little Shop of Horrors, directed

by Catrina Helsby, will run at the Salón Varietés The‐ atre from October 14‐24.

Little Shop of Horrors is a wickedly funny musical comedy originally written

by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. The touch‐ ing love story with a sci‐ ence fiction twist is based on the 1960 movie of the same name, which was re‐ made in 1986.

Actors to have featured in productions include Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Steve Martin, Rick Mora‐ nis, Ellen Greene and more recently Sheridan Smith and Alistair McGowan.

The tale follows a love story between florist shop workers Seymour (played

by Charlton Greene) and Audrey (played by Chloe Louise) and features a plant with an appetite for blood. The Motown and

soul‐inspired score adds an inner city American feel.

This award‐winning Broadway musical will have you laughing out loud and singing along in no time. Snap up your tick‐ ets by calling the box of‐ fice on 952 474 542 or vis‐ iting in person at Calle Emancipación, 30, Fuen‐ girola between Monday and Friday from 11am to 2.30pm.

ON Sunday September 25, 90 guests helped raise a staggering €5,500 for the ACE (Animal Care España) Dog Shelter and by all accounts double that number wanted to attend.

ACE, based in Mijas, which looks after 500 abandoned and unwant‐ ed dogs as well as 200 cats is always in need of financial assistance and holds regular fundraisers to allow it to continue its good works.

This event was held at Legends in La Cala de Mi‐ jas and the capacity audi‐ ence enjoyed live enter‐ tainment from Dragtastic as well as Westlife and Take That tributes Additional money was earned from a charity auction, plus a raffle with plenty of great prizes on offer, all generously do‐ nated by local business‐

es, well‐wishers and ACE supporters as hosts and guests alike dug deep in‐ to their pockets.

Standing in for ACE founder and president Fabienne Paques, who couldn’t attend the event due to prior commit‐ ments, ACE volunteer Mark Ridler spoke elo‐ quently about the vital work being carried out by the dog shelter for the past 21 years, during which time more than 22,000 dogs and puppies, plus a large number of cats and kittens, have been saved and re‐ homed.

All at ACE would like to give their heartfelt thanks to Legends’ hosts Andrea and Paul, their staff and the entertain‐ ers as well as British businessman Charlie Mullins for their generos‐ ity.

Reportedly when the two national teams met on the Rock in March of this year (Norway winning 3 to 0), he laughed at Gibraltar Captain Roy Chipolina and walked off when asked if he would swap shirts, as his son is a great fan of the Norwegian player.

The world of Costa del Sol cuisine lost one of its true heavyweights on September 22 Rafaelle Morelli, the much‐loved Italian co‐owner of the Valparaiso restaurant in Mijas, passed away, aged 82, after a battle with prostate cancer.

VALPARAISO was opened in 1984 by Rafaelle and his brother Vittorio. The duo previously ran the renowned London restau‐ rant Barbarella’s. Their new venture quickly became famous, not just in southern Spain, but the world over. David Beckham, Bruce Forsyth, Sean Connery, Cliff Richard and Antonio Banderas are just some of the celebrities whose photos adorn the walls.

From the moment you entered Valparaiso, you would be met by Rafa’s smiling face. He was an elegant and immaculately dressed man who oozed natural charm. His ability to make customers feel at ease played a huge role in the success of his business. He treated everyone with the same respect and attention. And every woman was made to feel special when they were handed a rose as they left the restaurant.

There are few more magical settings than Val‐ paraiso’s flower‐covered terrace where you could dine and enjoy the views of the coast below you.

All this, while listening to live entertainment and being attended to by one of the most welcoming restaurant owners you could ever meet.

Chris King of Euro Weekly News paid tribute saying: “I spent many wonderful nights at this beautiful restaurant and I lose count of the

hours we must have spent discussing football. It warms my heart to know that before he left us Rafa got to see his beloved Italy win the Euros. He might be gone, but I will cherish the wonderful memo‐ ries.”

One Valparaiso customer, John, recalled his first visit: “In the mid‐ 1980s, soon after we married and had some spare money, the place to visit was Valparaiso. We were never disappointed. More than 30 years later, we got to spend more time with Rafaelle and were always im‐ pressed at how charming he was. A true gentleman.”

A chance to say goodbye To pay tribute to Rafaelle, Euro Weekly News would like to invite any‐ one from the Costa del Sol community who knew him to join us outside his beloved restaurant, the Valparaiso on the Ctra de Mijas, on Friday, October 1 at 6pm. The restaurant will be closed, so bring along a bottle and a candle and together we will share the memories and maybe raise a glass of cava or two. If you are a musician who played there, come along. He’d love nothing more than for everyone to sing a song or two. If you were the recipient of one of Rafa’s red roses, maybe you can bring him one this time. By coming together we can give him the wings to as‐ cend from the place he loved so much.

Everybody here at the Euro Weekly News sends our heartfelt sympathies to the Morelli family for their loss. And we thank Rafaelle, for all the beautiful memories. RIP.

Benefit dinner Reaching normality in Marbella

AT least half of Andalucia will be in level 0 alert for Covid from Fri‐ day, October 1.

The president of the Junta de Andalucia, Juanma Moreno, an‐ nounced on Tuesday September 28, a return to normality for those areas where the incidence rate for Covid is minimal or has reached 0 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Moreno appeared after meeting with the Committee of Experts of Andalucia, the health body re‐ sponsible for deciding the mea‐ sures in each Andalucian munici‐ pality based on different parameters.

The Minister of Health and Fami‐ lies of the Junta de Andalucia, Jesús Aguirre, said the majority of Andalucia will be at level 0 since the accumulated incidence is low.

On Tuesday, September 28, it stood at 57 per 100,000 inhabi‐ tants. The number of infections al‐ so continues to decline.

The community registered 311 new positive tests and eight deaths in the last 24 hours.

The data reflects the progress and ‘normality’ that the region seems to be reaching little by lit‐ tle.

Although an end to the mea‐ sures has been declared, it would still be prudent to respect certain hygienic and sanitary recommen‐ dations.

The Junta recommends frequent hand washing, keeping your per‐ sonal distance and using masks when inside large shopping areas or around crowds of people as ways to avoid contagion.

SUPPORTING ACTOR: Announcing the special benefit dinner.

SPANISH actor and rapper José Manuel Montilla known as ‘El Langui’ is arranging a benefit dinner in Marbella on Sat‐ urday October 2 to help a six‐year‐old boy who has crystal bone disease.

The dinner which will be accompanied by live music will be held at the Bo Banus restaurant at 8pm and guests will be invited to choose from the a la carte menu and money raised will be used to pay for physiotherapy treatment that the youngster Ian Fernández from San Pedro Alcantara needs to improve his quality of life.

The event is supported by the actor who says that this will be the first of a number of similar activities in the fu‐ ture along with Playa Nini and the Marbella Council, repre‐ sentatives of which were present at the launch of the offi‐ cial announcement of the dinner.

Reservations at Bo Banus must be made in advance by calling 952 273 793 or by sending an email to info@bo‐ banus.com. Also committed to raising funds for this young man and other deserving cases is cultural association A mi no me digas que no se puede (Don’t tell me you can’t).

BENALMADENA Council is to make a grant of €15,000 to the Association of Relatives and People with Mental Illness of the Costa del Sol (AFESOL), for the implementation of a job orientation programme for people with mental health problems which was conceived in 2020.

Zip line EL ESPARRAGAL Park in Mijas has now installed a new children’s playground which, apart from the usual swings and slides, has also introduced what should be a very popular attraction for children, a 20-metre zip line.

Added to this has been the renovation of furniture generally.

Erotic tapa IF you fancy your food fun, spicy but subtle, with a sexy touch, either because of the presentation or the flavours, then you will look forward to the return of the Fuengirola Erotic Tapa Route which now enters its 13th year in November.

Additional funds ALTHOUGH initially offering €180,000 in financial support for the purchase of food and other essentials for the Food Guarantee Programme, the Marbella Council has now agreed to increase this amount to €300,000 after signing a new agreement with the DYA group which helps vulnerable families.

Zapping the zip with Simply Surviving!

EACH month this charitable group seeks to raise funds for a nominated registered local charity and in September that charity was Age Concern (Mijas, Fuengirola and Benalmaádena), which provides many types of support for the over 50s’ English speakers in their area.

Simply Surviving Group does this by arranging a series of social events including lunches, dinners, quizzes and entertainment, thus also providing valuable income for entertainers and venues still badly affected by the Covid‐19 pandemic.

However, last Friday September 24, several in‐ trepid members stepped out of their comfort zone to take part in a Zipline Challenge arranged

by Age Care. On a day when the coast was hit by high winds and heavy rain there were fears that the challenge would have to be postponed, but curiously as the party made their way up into the mountains above Alhaurin de la Torre the weath‐ er cleared to reveal the full extent of the task fac‐ ing them! A 1.3 km wire, the longest in Andalucia, accommodated speeds of up to 100 kph. As you might imagine, there were a few butterflies in stomachs, but the challenge was successfully completed, witnessed by family and friends.

Thanks go to Age Concern’s David Long and Carol Frost for their excellent organisation. Once all the individual sponsorships have been counted, Sim‐ ply Surviving Group expects to make a donation to Age Concern in the the region of €4,000,

Volcano lava reaches sea

LAVA: Falling off the cliff tops.

THE lava stream from the erupting vol‐ cano on the Canary Island of La Palma, has reached the sea. Images provided by the Spanish Institute of Oceanogra‐ phy’s (IEO) ship, Ramon Margalef, showed the lava falling into the water from the cliff tops off the coast of Taza‐ corte.

According to the IEO, the volcanic ma‐ terial fell around 100 metres and within two hours, had formed a pyramid shape estimated to be around 50 metres (164ft) high.

Residents were urged to stay indoors and keep a safe distance of at least 3.5km from the area. They warned the

white clouds of water vapour emitted could contain poi‐ sonous gases.

On its way to the sea, the lava stream passed through a banana plantation.

Plastic and potentially explosive fertilis‐ er created a toxic cloud, but nobody was harmed.

Just before the lava stream fell into the sea, the National Geographic Insti‐ tute recorded a 3.3 magnitude earth‐ quake located southwest of Villa de Ma‐ zo at a depth of around 11km. This is a stronger quake than those felt in previ‐ ous days in the municipality of Fuen‐ caliente.

“Those discussions will be ongoing. Ex‐ actly how we do that will be up for discus‐ sion of course, but those are our priori‐ ties,” he added.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is hoping the problems faced by energy companies

will be temporary and said: “People should be reassured in the sense there are a lot of short‐term problems around the world caused by gas supplies and short‐ ages.”

Julian Jessop of the Institute for Eco‐ nomic Affairs think tank said: “The poorest households should be protected from soaring bills, but the taxpayer should not be expected to write a blank cheque to bail out energy companies.”

“Despite this improve‐ ment, it is still necessary to extend the safety shield pro‐ vided in sectors whose activi‐ ty has not yet normalised due to the slow recovery of inter‐

In August, employment in hotels and catering, and trav‐ el agencies/tour operators as a whole increased in almost all Autonomous Communi‐ ties, with the exception of the Canary Islands, the Commu‐

Ban on plastic containers THE Spanish govern‐ ment wants to regu‐ late the use of plastics and promote their re‐ cycling to the point of prohibiting fruits, veg‐ etables, and drinks from being sold in plastic packaging and containers by 2023.

The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge is reported‐ ly preparing a royal decree to regulate packaging and waste which will state that by 2023 it will be for‐ bidden to sell fruits and vegetables in plastic containers and that beverages are to be offered in reusable containers in all retail establishments.

The larger retailers

must offer up to sev‐ en different types of packaging and dedi‐ cate part of their space to bulk sales so that consumers will be able to store goods in their own bags or containers, bottles in‐ cluded. The measures, focused on the reuse of packaging and recy‐ cling, will impact con‐ sumers mainly in these two aspects. In the case of retailers, in addition to the rel‐ evant changes in recy‐ cling, they will have to set up zones and inventory to meet these demands, while manufacturers will have to work out how to increase the per‐ centage of recycled plastic.

Card charge question CAN an establishment refuse to charge you by card in Spain?

The latest ‘National Survey on the Use of Cash 2020’ carried out by the Bank of Spain shows card payments are the pre‐ ferred means of payment in the coun‐ try. At the moment more than half of all payments are made by card. According to data from Visa, 84 per cent of con‐ sumers don’t leave home without their bank card.

Many establishments in Spain though do not accept cards for payments. Some places do accept cards, but only above a minimum purchase amount, this is of‐

ten set at €5 or €10.

This is because banks charge business‐ es for using card payments. For a small business this can prove to be expensive.

But many people question whether it is legal to refuse card payments.

According to Yahoo Finance: “With the law in hand, it can be said that any commercial establishment is completely free to decide whether to accept a means of payment other than cash.

It is therefore legal to refuse to charge by card or to impose a minimum amount for accepting this form of pay‐ ment.”

Bird protection threat THE EU is threatening legal ac‐ tion against Spain for failing to protect birds in Andalucia.

The EU Commission has called on Spain to fulfil its obli‐ gations under the Birds Direc‐ tive, the Habitats Directive and a previous ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

In November 2016, the Court of Justice of the Euro‐ pean Union ruled that Spain had failed to take appropriate steps to avoid the deteriora‐ tion of natural habitats and the disturbance of protected bird species caused by the con‐ struction of a railway line cross‐ ing through the special protec‐

tion area of Campinas de Sevil‐ la in Andalucia.

Spain said it identified a number of mitigation and compensation measures to offset the damage caused and

implement the Court judge‐ ment.

However, almost five years after the judgement, Spain has not yet fully implemented those measures.

ROLLS-ROYCE has announced its intention to sell off their Spanish ITP (Industria de Turbo Propul‐ sores) aero arm for €1.7 billion. The company’s shares leapt by more than 10 per cent after the an‐ nouncement. The Basque‐based business will be sold to a group headed by the private equity giant Bain.

EU fish warning

THE EU has warned Spain and France that they are not doing enough to stop the wasteful practice of discarding fish.

Known as the landing obligation, a commitment was introduced during the last reform of the common fisheries policy in 2013 to end the wasteful and unsustainable practice of discarding, when unwanted catches are returned to the sea.

Spain and France are also accused of failing to ensure the control and enforcement of the obligation that all catches of species subject to catch limits and, in the Mediterranean, species subject to minimum sizes, are brought and retained on board fishing vessels and then recorded, landed and counted against quotas, where applicable.

“Effective control and enforcement of fishing activities at sea and the accurate recording of catches and discarded quantities are essential for the implementation of the landing obligation and for supporting the long-term sustainability objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy. It is also important in order to prevent, deter and eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing,” the EU said on September 23.

Spain and France have two months to address the shortcomings.

A majority of 94.3 per cent of readers said that Spain should, with the issue sparking an impassioned debate as well as some horror stories from those whose own homes had been illegally occupied.

Just 5.7 per cent of people said the laws did not need changing.

Claire Murray said: “If it’s not your house and you have no contract to stay there, then of course they should throw them out.”

Meanwhile, David Stead said: “The law should be made easier for property own‐ ers to reclaim their property from people who have no right to be depriving them of it.

King’s La Palma message THE island of La Palma will face struggles, but King Felipe said he believes the island will rebound. Speaking after a tour of the disaster area with Queen Letizia and President Pedro Sanchez, King Felipe said he had been deeply moved by the struggle of the island’s residents.

Lava from the Cumbre Viejo has destroyed hundreds of homes and hundreds of hectares of farmland. The King expressed his “solidarity and affection” to the inhabi-

tants of this “beautiful island.” He added, “We have to do everything in our power to help these families, it will cost a lot to return to normality, but La Palma will succeed.”

The King and Queen visited El Fuerte barracks, which is acting as temporary housing for people who have been evacuated from their homes. They also visited Todoque.

Their itinerary concluded in Los Llanos de Aridane, where they met with residents of La Palma who have lost their homes.

Remove illegal squatters.

“Those that have and have worked for it already subsidise those that don’t have through tax, they have earned the right for the law to support them not work against them.”

Several readers also shared their own stories of dealing with squatters, angry at the time and costs involved in removing them.

David Varely said: “Having experienced squatters in my home here in Spain for three years, yes they should change the law.

“If squatters have no contract or escitu‐ ra then get them out. It has cost me a lot of money through the courts and I am still paying to repair the damage.”

Beware Bizum scam BIZUM has become one of the most used payment methods in dozens of countries, however, police are now warning that thousands of messages are being sent pos‐ ing as victims’ contacts to try to steal €50 in a new scam.

To carry out this scam, the thieves send a message via Whats App to thousands of random numbers, making victims believe that it is a contact in their phone book. The message says that they have sent €50 to

the victim through Bizum in error.

The person who is posing as the Whats App contact tells the victim to return the €50 through Bizum, however, the person sending the message is a scammer who re‐ ceives the money.

In the past there have been several scams with this method, so the police ad‐ vise that you should not trust anyone who asks for payment outside of the legal chan‐ nels.

Schools Divers’ gold discovery abandon English BILINGUAL schools in Spain are abandoning English and 90 public schools in Spain have decided to return to teaching in Spanish.

The schools have said that the “Students don’t think; they only memorise.” The Junta de Castilla y León cre‐ ated a bilingual pro‐ gramme in 2007 and the Antonio Allué Mor‐ er school was one of the first to join. Head‐ teacher Enar Rubio ex‐ plained that it was an extraordinary opportu‐ nity at the time, but it has not worked out well.

The children found subjects such as sci‐ ence and history too much for them when taught in English. Stu‐ dents have struggled to understand the lessons. This means that the students stopped learning and memorised facts in‐ stead.

TWO free divers discov‐ ered gold coins dating from the fourth and fifth centuries in what is said to be one of the largest hauls of Roman gold coins in Europe.

The divers initially dis‐ covered eight coins. This led to the retrieval of 53 gold coins from the seabed of the Portitxol de Xabia in Alicante, according to the University of Alicante.

The gold coins have been analysed by scien‐ tists from the Institute for Research in Archaeology and Historical Heritage at Alicante University (IN‐ APH). They dated the coins to the late Roman period.

Specifically, the coins have been dated between the end of the fourth and the start of the fifth century.

The coins are so well

preserved that their in‐ scriptions can even be read. This has allowed them to be identified. The divers, Luis Lens and Cesar Gimeno, made the initial discovery, which set in progress the mechanism set out by the General Di‐ rectorate of Culture and Heritage for discoveries like this.

Archaeologists from the UA and the GEAS of the Guardia Civil, retrieved the rest of the coins and other artefacts with help from the town council of Xabia.

The head of the UA team of underwater ar‐ chaeologists, Professor of Ancient History Jaime Molina commented that: “This is one of the largest sets of Roman gold coins found in Spain and Eu‐ rope.”

US praise for minimum wage LABOUR Secretary Martin J Walsh has praised Spain’s new minimum wage and the role of unions.

Minister for Labour Yolanda Diaz and US Labour Secretary Martin J Walsh have held a bilateral video conference. In it Walsh praised Spain’s new minimum wage which Diaz, despite opposition, increased by €15 per month. Labour Secretary Walsh said the minimum wage means “more partici‐ pation, more consumption, more money in people’s pockets. It is a moral obligation to do so.”

Walsh is a former union leader and was mayor of Boston. He was appointed to President Joe Biden’s cabinet in March

2021 and was the last departmental secre‐ tary to join.

Diaz and Walsh have pledged to contin‐ ue to work jointly on “decent wages, fair working conditions, greater security and health at work and equality and non‐dis‐ crimination, elements.”

Walsh described the effort as “insepara‐ ble from quality employment and essential to improve the social welfare of both coun‐ tries.” Both Walsh and Diaz, who is a mem‐ ber of the left‐wing Podemos party ‐ a key element of the coalition government ‐ reit‐ erated their shared belief that unions play a vital role in representing the interests of workers.

Cadet death accusation

THE Unified Association of the Spanish Military (AUME) have accused the Ministry of Defence of denying them information surrounding various events including the death of a cadet. The 22‐year‐old is re‐ ported to have died of heat stroke at the Zaragoza Mili‐ tary Academy.

The AUME have claimed that the Ministry has reject‐ ed requests for the informa‐ tion to be communicated di‐ rectly or made available to military personnel, and those who look after the rights of military personnel.

The AUME said: “Silencing the professional associations and withholding information from the military constitutes the ministry’s choice of a perverse path, which could lead to obfuscation already experienced in the past un‐ der a dictatorial regime.”

Earlier this month the AUME demanded an investi‐ gation into the cadet’s death. They also announced that they are prepared to

take legal action to ensure that the death is investigated thoroughly. They also want

information from any inves‐ tigation to be made available to the cadet’s family.

The European Commission is taking legal action against 19 Member States, including Spain, for failing to deliver the benefits of EU digital legislation in the area of audio‐visual media and telecommunications.

“These Member States are required to transpose into their national laws two new sets of rules, without further delay: the Audio‐Visual Media Services Directive and the European Electronic Communications Code, and inform the Commission about this transposition.

Both Directives are crucial for the EU’s digital transition, after having been commonly agreed by Member States, and had to be transposed by end‐ 2020,” the Commission said.

The deadline for transposing the Eu‐ ropean Electronic Communications Code into national legislation was De‐ cember 21, 2020. The Commission sent letters of formal notice to 24 Member States on February 4, 2021. Only Bul‐ garia and Denmark notified the full transposition by the end of August, joining Greece, Hungary, and Finland who had already transposed before.

STAT OF WEEK

SO far six small British low‐cost energy suppliers have gone bust during September leaving nearly 1.5 million UK consumers in the lurch.

However, happily for them, un‐ til such time as new companies are introduced, the British Gov‐ ernment is ensuring that cus‐ tomers still have access to gas.

If wholesale prices go up, then logic suggests that the retail prices would match those increases thus ensuring additional profit for ener‐ gy suppliers, but there is a deadly catch which is why the smaller fish are going to the wall and larger suppliers are likely to apply for Government support.

€1.6 billion

is the amount that Australian group Sandfire Resources is to pay to purchase Minas de Aguas Teñidas copper mine in Huelva, subject to Spanish Government approval.

UK Gas prices The UK regulator, Ofgem, sets a cap for energy prices for con‐ sumers on default tariffs and re‐ views it twice a year and bills were already set to go up for house‐ holds from October 1 following Ofgem’s most recent cap increase.

The way smaller suppliers were able to exist and operate at a prof‐ it was because they were under‐ cutting their larger rivals but as wholesale prices increased, so their margins were cut consider‐ ably, meaning that eventually they would be selling gas at prices

LEGALLY SPEAKING

lower than they were paying so they have bailed out.

As the larger companies are asked to take over the supply to customers of the companies that have closed, even if on the short term, they in turn will be losing money which is why they will be asking for Government support.

In the long term it is more than likely that customers of the closed companies will have a nasty shock as their prices will be brought into line with those charged by the major companies.

The only officer required by the Law of Horizon‐ tal Property is the president. A vice president can be infor‐ mally named at any time, if no member protests. Howev‐ er, as regular readers of this column will be aware, this simple naming of a vice president can cause problems lat‐ er. In order to have an authorised signature at the bank, the vice president must be elected at the AGM by a major‐ ity vote and he must be specifically authorised to access the community bank account in order to make deposits and transfers. If the community has a licensed property administrator, he will be authorised by the terms of his contract. Both the administrator and the vice president must then be registered with the bank as authorised sig‐ natures. We have seen cases where the president be‐ comes incapacitated and the vice president is unable to access the bank because he has not been authorised.

Golden Leaves’ partners are on hand to help put your Will to‐ gether so you can make sure your wishes are carried out.

2. Decide what to do with your remains.

When the time comes, it is important to know what you want to happen to your remains. Do you want to be cremated or buried? Have your funeral in Spain or be repatriated back to the UK? 3. Choose a pre‐paid funeral plan.

Choosing the right pre‐paid funeral plan for you is one of the most important parts of planning a funeral.

Golden Leaves International have three pre‐paid funeral plans, offering everything from a simple cremation to a repatriation ser‐ vice.

Crickets are Kosher foods for centuries.

The difference with this new start up is that Hargol recognise that people may be averse to eating insects, but if they can be converted into different types of food, then they become more appealing.

As the world looks to find cheaper sources of protein which do not harm the environment, experiments are tak‐ ing place to create laboratory meat and this is another sustainable option.

Food shopping MANY of us complain about the rise in prices when we visit the super‐ market, but rather than guess, the Spanish Nation‐ al Institute of Statistics (INE) has been comparing prices between August 2020 and August 2021.

There haven’t been many ongoing reductions in price and in fact most food items have not in‐ creased by a huge amount, but the largest gains are sunflower oil at a massive 33.1 per cent, closely fol‐ lowed by olive oil with a 25.3 per cent uplift.

Soft drinks are up by 10.3 per cent but fruit at 5 per cent, eggs at 3.6 per cent and mutton at 3.5 per cent have done quite well, as has fish at just 3.2 per cent.

Tipping law THE growth in payment by card in the UK during the pan‐ demic has made it easier for companies to withhold tips from staff in pubs and restau‐ rants.

On Friday September 24, the British Government an‐ nounced that it would intro‐ duce legislation to make it ille‐ gal for employers to withhold tips from workers.

The move is set to help around two million people working in one of the 190,000 businesses across the hospitali‐ ty, leisure and services sectors, where tipping is common place and can make up a large part of their income.

Over the years, some very well‐known companies have been accused of withholding part or all of the tips paid by customers. burgers, falafel, energy bars and fruit gums, all produced from grasshoppers.

The company also offers a rich protein powder for use in drinks and other foods.

According to the company, com‐ pared with beef production, grasshop‐ per farming reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 99 per cent, water con‐ sumption by 1,000 times and arable land usage 1,500‐fold.

Shock figures on Spanish economy

Credit: La Moncloa flickr

NADIA CALVIÑO: The minister for Economic Affairs may have to review forecasts.

SHOCK figures released

by Spain’s National Statis‐ tics Institute (INE) on Thursday September 23 show that the economy grew by just 1.1 per cent in the second quarter of 2021.

This is less than half of the July estimate of 2.8 per cent and suggests that the full year fore‐ casts which were to show a bounce back to pre‐pan‐ demic levels by the end of this year are incorrect.

This has caught both the government and fi‐ nancial bodies by surprise as on September 21, the Bank of Spain comment‐ ing on a slight increase in inflation, suggested that this would be corrected

by November of this year.

In addition, noting sup‐ posed better than expect‐ ed results from the hospi‐ tality sector, it also forecast that the econo‐

my would return to pre‐ pandemic levels this year.

On the same day, the Organisation for Econom‐ ic Co‐operation and De‐ velopment (OECD) pub‐ lished its interim GDP growth predictions for all members of the G20 Group, which suggested that Spain could see growth of 6.8 per cent this year, running only behind China, Turkey and Argentina and well ahead of the Euro 17.

Two areas that may be responsible for the revi‐ sion of the figures could be firstly due to the unex‐ pected rise in gas and electricity costs, (al‐ though they are likely to bite more deeply into the third quarter figures) and the fact that the hospitali‐ ty and retail sector had been downgraded from a 5.4 per cent positive to negative 0.4 per cent.

Sabadell Bank jobs SABADELL BANK is to get rid of another 1,936 Spanish employees before the end of 2021, despite facing some opposition for CCOO union.

At one time getting a job in a Spanish bank was considered a long-term career which offered those working there many benefits. At the end of last year, Sabadell came to an agreement with the CCOO union to dispose of 1,800 workers, mainly through early retirement and now wants to lose a further 1,936 employees, the equivalent of 12.5 per cent of its entire staff.

BUSINESS EXTRA Green adverts THE UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is to release new guidance to ensure advertisements don’t mislead people about the environment and how green or eco-friendly different brands may be. Earlier this year it banned a Ryanair campaign which claimed the airline had the lowest CO2 emissions.

Privatised airports WITH Aena and Ferrovial already having assets and management agreements in Brazil, both are considering entering bids to manage newly privatised airports in that country, although the likely cost to participate could be as high as €1.4 billion which is a significant investment.

Pret expansion DESPITE being criticised for cutting staff benefits, British sandwich and coffee chain Pret a Manger has plans to expand the business, hoping to open 200 new outlets and employing an additional 3,000 people as office staff start to return to their places of work.

OTHERS THINK IT DESPITE what the CO2 alarmists would have us believe; our glorious planet has been warming up for thousands of years.

Although the air polluting emissions released by the vehicles and factories of modern society are certainly unacceptable, the prophets of alarmist doom have managed to have us all running around like headless chickens in pursuit of worldwide solutions that are not only near impossible, but, despite what Saint Greta and her followers would have us believe, rather like throwing a cup of water on a forest fire!

What we should be doing is concentrating on an adaptive response to the potential advantages of global warming.

It is my belief that all things in creation have an equally positive and negative side ‐ Ying Yang, Newton etc. If this were not the case the whole planet and all that reside on it would have disintegrated eons ago. With this in mind, I decided to do a little research into the positive effects of so‐called global warming. The results were eye opening to say the least. According to reports some 70 countries or more stand to gain by the

changes in our climate. In the main, countries that exist further to the north of the planet are those set to benefit the most.

Russia’s Siberia and Alaska could likely become vast fertile areas that could be developed at extremely reasonable cost.

China would also profit by bringing rain to its northern drought areas and easing the flooding in the south. Canada, most of the Netherlands, Iceland and even North Korea are all set to benefit as the earth’s temperature warms up. Unfortunately, most of Europe and the southern most parts of the USA don’t fare so well.

Flooding, monsoons, tornadoes, crippling heatwaves and severe weather fluctuations will be the order of the day. None of this is a present‐day phenomenon. Human civilisation goes back some 10,000 years or so. Over the last 400,000 years, long before we started changing the planet, there have been several periods of warming and cooling. Ice core readings show that CO2 measurements have at times been 10 per cent higher than current levels, with global temperatures similar and even lower than they are today. There is simply no

correlation between the two events. Left wing and Liberal governments believe power to stop climate change rests in controlling people. Their solutions to the problems always give more power to ever growing government bureaucracy.

Well, I don’t buy it. While we are succumbing to the pathetic brainwashed protesters and snarling Thunberg demonstrations, the West is slowly but surely being taken over by Eastern forces attacking from all sides and on all levels. Our enemies ‐ using every opportunity to take advantage of our ridiculous mistaken priorities are infiltrating Western civilisation at a far more dangerous rate than global warming or CO2 emissions. Time to wake up and tackle the true problems that threaten our existence on this wonderful planet.

Keep the faith.

CULTURE LINK: This bridge in Girona was built by Gustav Eiffel just before be built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

A HUB of Catalan culture in its own right, Girona is packed to the brim with museums, galleries and stunning buildings. The historic centre built by the city’s abundant wealth during medieval times has been well preserved over the centuries, surviving wars, sieges and revolutions.

The best way to see the city is to take a walk along the medieval walls, known as the Passeig de la Muralla, that border the city centre and offer great views.

Girona has one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in all of Europe called El

Call, which is a maze of narrow, cobbled streets that look just how they would have 500 years ago when the Jewish population occupied this area of the city.

Another highlight that should not be missed is Girona Cathedral, which has a picturesque long staircase leading to the entrance that was used as a location to film Game of Thrones.

The city has its own small airport but there is also a high-speed train service that links Girona to the Catalan capital of Barcelona, so it makes a perfect destination for a quick day trip.

RDMC’S - The supplier of glass curtains RDMC’S is a family‐run business with many years of experience in the glazing, construction and steel industry.

The business idea first came from Dan who wanted to start a glass manufacturing business making sealed units (double glazing) as back in the UK he was a line manager overseeing the making of such units. Dan started the business with his wife and parents‐in‐law in 2004 and Dan’s brother joined them not long after, so as the pair had grown with their father who owned a window and door manufacturers, it wasn’t long until the company expanded.

First, they changed locations from a small unit to a double sized factory and bought a toughen‐ ing machine to produce glass for all require‐ ments, then they gained the distribution and manufacture of SUNFLEX glass curtains and start‐ ed their own in‐house stainless‐steel welding and manufacture.

Lastly, they started manufacturing windows and doors, something Dan was extremely famil‐ iar with. They soon went from a small family‐run business to a much larger operation employing many specialists in their fields to manufacture and install.

RDMC’S: A familyrun business.

Today it is still very much a family‐run business with more staff and family members than ever before, all striving to carry on the good name and reputation that RDMC’S has obtained over the

last 17 years on the coast. They are specialist manufacturers of glass curtains, stainless steel, UPVC & aluminium, Bi‐folds, windows and doors and pool surrounds.

They use only the highest quality materials in‐ cluding 316 marine grade stainless steel so as not to cause corrosion problems. They have their own glass toughening plant which means that the complete glass curtain system, including the glass, is manufactured under one roof. They also manufacture UPVC and aluminium windows and doors, as well as roofs, fixed or sliding (elec‐ tric or manual), and complete steel structures.

In addition, RDMC’s produces acoustic glass for bars, mirrors, table tops, sealed units, splash backs, shop fronts, shelves, walk on glass, stairs, glass balustrade, pool surrounds, in fact they can

assist you with all your glass needs.

They also produce Bi‐fold doors and a system called OPENMAX which is new to the market and a video explaining this system is available up‐ on request or you could visit their Facebook page for installation photos and videos of all their work. The Glass Curtain system Sunflex that they manufacture is of typical German design, much time and thought has gone into the system mak‐ ing it one of, if not, the best system available on the market today.

The technique is completely different to other systems that are of similar price, as it is top hung which means that the weight of the glass is dis‐ tributed evenly and not all sitting on the bottom rubbing metal against metal.

They also have their own viewglass system, for a seamless balcony look that is proving very pop‐ ular.

Nuts, but a totally brilliant idea!

MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION

Views of a Grumpy Old Man LET me tell you something if you are fighting for a cause, and I don’t care what it’s for, if you think that sitting on a motorway blocking people going about their daily business or even worse, as in one case someone trying to get their mother to a hospital because she is having a stroke, is going to win the public over to your side you are very wrong. If you compound that idiotic behaviour by then going on morning TV as the spokesperson for said cause - in this case Insulate Britain - and admit your own house isn’t insulated, you have no reading of the British public.

All you do is detract from the problem and you should be arrested. They will argue that some industry leaders and architects agree with them, but that’s not because they are sitting on a motorway, those people have always agreed. Protesting in this way will not change anything that goes on in Westminster. They do not live in our world. All it does is hurt the normal person trying to go about their daily life.

I see that a third Russian has been accused

of the Salisbury poisoning. I bet that’s really scared the bejeebas out of them. What do they do next? Another round of tit- for-tat diplomatic expulsions? All three have arrest warrants out for them. Not a hope of ever carrying out the arrests. I love that the Russian Foreign Ministry says Britain was using the poisoning to stoke anti-Russian sentiment, not the fact that Russia kills people in other countries by poisoning them.

Something to hopefully make you smile many years ago we were here with some friends who had three daughters. We had arranged to meet at the beach and when we got there their mum had already smothered them in sun cream.

Then I noticed there were four brightly coloured helium balloons tied to a chair. I asked was it someone’s birthday and was told no. Mum then proceeded to pin one to each of the girls’ swimsuits with a long string and the fourth was tied to the sunshade and she explained, with a completely straight face, that this allowed her to relax and enjoy her day because the girls could run about and she could easily see where the girls were. In turn they could see how far they were away from their parents - nuts but totally brilliant.

HEY! STUDY UNCOVERS YET MORE USELESS BITS OF RESEARCH!

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

THERE are lies, there are damned lies, and then there’s a viral statistic claiming Prince William is the sexiest bald man in the world. The internet was recently awash with the headline‐grabbing ‘study’ claiming the, err, ‘hairless heir’ is more attractive than Stanley Tucci and Vin Diesel. Who could be behind this astonishing verdict?

The answer is not, as some people won‐ dered, Buckingham Palace’s PR department.

Rather, the study was run by a medical tourism facilitator that connects UK patients with hair transplant surgeons in Turkey!

But here’s another ‘MOBO’ study (Mas‐ ters of the Bleeding Obvious. OK, Illinois Uni‐ versity) that found that drunk people are less likely to social distance than sober ones.

If only masses of photos of drunks falling over each other on Saturday nights had pre‐ pared us for this revelation! The physical dis‐ tance between drinking strangers decreased by 1cm per three‐minute interval, the study found, while those on soft drinks didn’t get closer at all. Amazing! Who’d have guessed?

PRINCE WILLIAM: The sexiest bald man in the world?

According to yet another survey, 11 per cent of young adults believe Margaret Thatcher was PM during the First World War. If you think that’s bad enough, a 2015 survey claimed that 20 per cent of young‐ sters believe fish fingers are fingers from ac‐ tual fish.

And then there are all these research ‘studies’. Household cleaning products are as bad for lung function as smoking claims one recent ‘study’. And was it just yesterday we were told processed foods cause an in‐ crease in various sorts of cancer? What doesn’t, it seems?

Modern living exposes us to a range of chemicals that wouldn’t have been present in primitive societies. But life expectancy in times past was much lower than today. On balance, the contemporary world, although it presents new dangers, offers us the prospect of living well beyond the biblical three score plus 10. Fortunately, few believe these scare stories in any case ‐ we’ve been saturated with enough doom and gloom this past year.

Finally, in other news, researchers discov‐ er a link between The Pope and Catholicism.

‘Nuff said.

Crooke Dental Clinic launches TeethWow THE newest oral reconstruction with im‐ plants and fixed teeth in our latest genera‐ tion zirconia.

One of our concerns throughout our journey as dentistry professionals has been the search for new techniques and materi‐ als for oral rehabilitation. Until now the times and processes were long, tedious and uncomfortable. But all of this just changed. We have managed to make the easy out of the complex; That is Teeth‐ Wow. The entire multidisciplinary team of Crooke Dental Clinics, specialists in pros‐ thetics and implants, laboratories and engi‐ neers specialised in dental design, have worked for years to optimise methodology, protocols and materials to find the defini‐ tive and improved solution in complex restorations on implants. We present TeethWow as a procedure that completely regenerates the patient’s smile when all or almost all teeth have been lost.

The key is to switch from conventional diagnostic methods and traditional plan‐ ning, to a 100 per cent digital planning. We have adjusted this workflow for surgery too, having the choice to perform guided or

Specialists in prosthetics and implants.

navigated surgery with a minimal margin of error. This allows us to do difficult interven‐ tions in a shorter time and with minimal postoperative impact, and of course always using the best materials.

For this reason, in our oral restorations, our first choice is our new monolithic Zirconia.

Our R&D Team has developed an evolved Monolithic Zirconia, with better aesthetics and translucency, with a long study made prior to the fabrication pro‐ cess. That way, we assure well‐built com‐

plexion of the teeth and avoid fracture problems in the future.

Our Zirconia is the most biocompatible material with the body, it is completely metal‐free and totally safe. It is also the material that most closely resembles natu‐ ral teeth, giving us a high degree of resis‐ tance in the bite and an excellent aesthetic result.

TeethWow is a treatment totally suit‐ able for bruxist patients, since the material does not break or tear with use. In cases of severe bone loss, we decide what pro‐ cedure is best for our patient. From bone regeneration techniques and zygomatic implants, to custom 3D implants that fully adapt to the patient’s bone and that allow us to put fixed teeth 24 hours after surgery, even in people with extreme bone reabsorption.

The digital integration of cosmetic, surgi‐ cal and prosthetic planning make Teeth‐ Wow the ideal process for any dental chal‐ lenge. Our results are optimal, and they speak for us.

TeethWow is an original product made by our clinics.

BATTLE WITH BANKS From our Facebook

TIE CARD: Evidence of residency.

I wonder if anybody else has a story of banks bullying customers over the TIE card. There is a lot of concern among the expats as evidenced by Facebook expat group posts that customers are being threatened with having their bank accounts frozen unless they produce a TIE card as evidence of residency.

You can, I’m sure, imagine the devastating effects of such action and the ensuing stress this would cause.

My wife and I find ourselves among this group and have questioned the policy with the bank’s own online help chat who say that we are not required to produce a TIE and that the green residency card is sufficient, which is also as stated in the Brexit withdrawal agreement. However the local branch are still insisting that we do get the TIE card and that our account will be frozen at the end of the year unless it

WHAT A SHAME AS a company we made it clear at the time of the Brexit vote that we were in favour of remaining within the European Union as we believed it would be detrimental in the short term to the UK should we leave.

Having been disappointed by the vote and the fact that so many long-term migrants here in Spain and other countries were unable to vote, we still had to accept the decision and get on with business here in Spain whilst keeping touch with friends and family in the UK.

CORRECTIONS

is produced. It is my hope that if your paper was to highlight this practice then the banks would soften their aggressive, unreasonable and illegal threats which are causing so much unnecessary stress.

Regards, R Robinson

Say it how it is!

SQUATTERS: Most people agree that they should be removed.

Mira Spiteri Definitely the law should be on the side of the owners, NOT squatters!!!

Claire Murray Dear Leapy Lee You really do… Say it where others fear to tread or only think it!

Thank you!

Kind regards, Dawn

OUR VIEW

There is no doubt that the pandemic was an unexpected and untimely disaster for everyone but it now seems that Britain has been ‘knocked for six’ by the combination of Brexit finally biting at the beginning of this year and the pandemic.

Life goes on, but just nine months after the UK finally bowed out of the European Union the reports that are appearing about shortages of petrol and diesel due to the lack of HGV drivers, the potential of empty shelves at Christmas and the closure of numerous low-cost energy suppliers

are truly disturbing.

Spain, despite its own faults, seems to be in a much stronger position than Britain and although fuel and electricity prices are rising rapidly, there appears to be no shortage of goods in the shops (unless of course you want to buy some British foods that aren’t making it over here).

People move to different countries for different reasons but it does seem that those of us in Spain didn’t make a bad decision, although we wish our original homeland a speedy recovery.

If it’s not your house and you have no contract to stay there then of course they should throw them out.

Karen Howarth Yes they should. I have heard some horror stories from people who have had squatters in their property. It appears that squatters have more rights than property owners, which definitely needs addressing and changing.

Shirley Ashworth I don’t think there should be a law!!! They broke into a house so they should be removed and put in jail.

Emma D’Aubrey Yes they should change the law.... but also look into WHY the squatting situation is so high.... we could all name several reasons, but is the government willing to do something about the WHOLE problem here??

Patrick J Byrne Ridiculous situation in the first place, if you enter or break into another person’s property it should be a criminal offence, no new laws needed, just common sense.

Bill Stewart Yes and held responsible for the damage, disorder and mayhem they can cause.

At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

THE KEY TO HAPPINESS TONI C. EASTWOOD OBE, MBA

Have you ever Imagined your ideal self, the best version of you?

Imagine your superhero, or altar ego smiling and waving at you.

#TheWomanBeyond WHEN I’m working with women the first thing I ask is what do you want to achieve, or what’s your ultimate goal, and I am so amazed that the response is almost always the same, “I want to be Happy”, “to be fulfilled”.

It’s not because we are women that we want fulfilment and happiness, it’s because we are human. Common Hu‐ manity, we have a universal drive for what Aristotle and Cicero after him sug‐ gest ‘MANS’ (we all know the Greeks and Romans were obsessed by the male form!!) ultimate goal the highest good (summon bonum), was to achieve happi‐ ness. So we haven’t changed much in 2,400+ years.

Can you see her?!

(I’m being serious. Take a long slow breath, 10 seconds should do it and bring that especially awesome you to life in your mind.)

I haven’t gone mad, honest, here’s how this works: That ideal version of you is pretty much watching you all day ev‐ ery day. The Stoic philosophers called this “the Other.” Modern theologians would call it your conscience.

In those ancient days, another name for the highest version of yourself was ‘daimon’, a sort of inner soul and guiding spirit that exists within each of us.

I love that, and I have worked hard on what that looks like for me, I have even named her!! Being or getting clear on our identity and who we want to BE, has

proven to be the number one tool in helping us to live happier lives and to flourish.

Ancient philosophers considered your relationship with this inner soul THE most important thing in life. They said that if you want to be happy you need to be on really good terms with your dai‐ mon.

In fact, their word for happiness was eudaimōn which literally means ‘good soul.’

All of which begs the question: How’s your relationship with your inner soul?

You won’t be surprised ‐ the worst ver‐ sion of ourselves ‐ The Demon ‐ stems from the etymology of eudaimōn!! So, watch that little pesky shoulder sitting fleabag, this is the one that whispers in your ear, “you are not good enough”, the one that says “who do you think you are” when you are about to take those

steps forward into your next big idea or begin to awaken your dreams. Give her a swift flick off!!

So, my parting question for you this week or most importantly for today (and every day): What’s one little thing you can do to +1 that relationship today? Get clear, what’s your BEST SELF, Name her and let me know.

Ahh yes I hear you, what’s the name of my Eudiamon? Well, she is the Zen War‐ rior Goddess. ¡Hasta luego!

Stay Focussed, Keep Positive and Choose to +1 in Every Moment.

Love, Hugs, High Fives and Fist Bumps Toni x

Overview of our intention for this year’s UNMS2021 MARBELLA MOMENTS

BY NICOLE KING Part 1 IT was six years ago that I first put our international teens on the Unit‐ ed Nationalities of Marbella agenda to hopefully get them special offers and hang out spaces in local busi‐ nesses. Those kids who were 14 and 15 then are now in their 20s and if the businesses had been more engaging, would have consoli‐ dated a new generation of clientele.

Hopefully now we all appreciate a little more how important our resi‐ dent community really is and we can also face up to the fact that many youngsters are frequently living here out of no choice of their own.

Additionally, due to the touristic nature of our city and everything that comes with it, again it is up to our international resident communi‐ ty to establish a suitable environ‐ ment for their healthy growth, social

#UNMS2020

development and career opportuni‐ ties.

We owe it to them to give them as ‘normal’ and safe a life as possi‐ ble.

This year’s summit aims to ad‐ dress how to further engage compa‐ nies in the creation of suitable career options within our community for them to aspire to, more promotion of group activities and cultural events for each age group, hang out spaces and of paramount impor‐ tance, promote how to access call lines for those who feel vulnerable and alone, if we cannot create our own.

We need volunteers to help tack‐

le the tasks of: • Job and career opportunities lo‐ cally ‐ Real contracts ‐ Internships • More emphasis and promotion of leisure time group activities in sports clubs, socials, theatre, music and culture • Suitable ‘hang out spaces’ ‐ col‐ laborations with cinemas and sports clubs etc.

• 24‐hour helpline There is a need for a 24‐hour helpline to address the alarming in‐ crease in suicide attempts between 14 and 25 as a new worldwide pan‐ demic. The suicide attempts within

this age bracket increased by 600 per cent the year before Covid even came on the scene. Our community is very transient and our children, re‐ gardless of economic status, nation‐ ality or religion are facing challenging times; and not just the children.

In this respect if any of you are qualified counsellors or psychother‐ apists and would like to volunteer to help please email me at MiMarbella RTVM@gmail.com.

Part 2 Update and tracking of ongoing initiatives from previous events: • Progressing our community grapevine; we need to learn to

www.nicoleking.es • www.zerohero.es

share each other’s information.

• Launching of Marbella Love Mugs initiative, raising funds and awareness for local artists and chari‐ ties.

• Progressing the Zero Hero initia‐ tive through free soft drinks for the designated driver ensuring a safer community for all. www.zerohero.es • Sustainable Marbella: recycling and plastic free living ‐ charities / schools / elderly.

• Animal shelters.

• Supporting isolated community members.

• Interaction between businesses and charities and all year‐round business opportunities.

There are limited spaces again this year to attend the actual event, but we need all of us to participate in an ongoing fashion to get things done. #bettertogether #Marbella

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Brain food WITH life expectancy ever in‐ creasing, many of us are look‐ ing for ways to improve our quality of life and reverse any damage caused by an un‐ healthy lifestyle.

Fortunately, researchers in Spain have found a way of re‐ versing brain damage brought about by high‐fat diets.

A study at the Jaume I Uni‐ versity in Castella de la Plana found mice which were given high levels of fat developed damage to their nervous sys‐ tem similar to that in Alzheimer’s patients, but that this was reversed when they were fed a plant hormone.

This hormone, abscisic acid, was found to reduce inflam‐ mation in the part of the brain where we store memories.

Researchers believe this ef‐ fect may be caused because abscisic acid helps regulate in‐ sulin levels which, when out of balance, can cause inflamma‐ tion in insulin receptors in the hippocampus, the region of

the brain which governs long‐ term memories. Inflammation of the nervous‐system and un‐ regulated insulin levels are both linked to Alzheimer’s Dis‐ ease and other forms of de‐ mentia. The study’s author, Al‐ berto Ribes Navarro, explained: “We have been able to prove that the expression of proteins required for the prop‐ er functioning of insulin de‐ creases in neuro‐inflammatory situations induced by a high‐fat diet.” He added: “With the ad‐ dition of abscisic acid to the high‐fat diet it is possible to re‐ balance the regulation of these genes, even helping them reach normal levels.”

Abscisic acid is found in a plant’s xylem (the stem) and is used by plants to help with growth and development of tolerance to harsh conditions.

The hormone is found natu‐ rally in fruit and vegetables.

A past study into the acid also found it played a role in regulating blood sugar,

which could in turn help delay the development of diabetes.

Ana Maria Sanchez, who head‐ ed up this latest study, shows how this new evidence goes even further, even undoing damage caused by an un‐ healthy lifestyle.

She concluded: “We have verified how a vegetable hor‐ mone, abscisic acid, is able to counter the negative effects that a high‐fat diet has on the central nervous system.”

REPAIR: Fruit and vegetables can reverse damage.

Good gout news DESPITE years of speculation to the contrary, scientists have now discovered gout is not caused by poor diet.

The painful and potentially de­ bilitating condition affects around one in 40 people in the UK, causing inflammation of the joints. It was previously thought wine, red meat and beer could be to blame for the disease but researchers have discovered that is not the case.

A study by the University of Otago, New Zealand, found ge­ netics were instead to blame for how likely a person was to devel­ op the illness. The researchers analysed 16,760 people living in the United States who had Euro­ pean ancestry.

Urate is a salt produced in the body when it breaks down com­ pounds called purines. High urate levels­ known as hyperuri­ caemia­ are associated with a higher risk of having gout as uric crystals build up in a person’s joints causing inflammation. It had previously been hyperuri­ caemia was determined by what foods a person ate. The scientists instead found genes were in fact

responsible for 23.9 per cent of a person’s urate count.

The study found while some foods such as beer, wine, spirits, potatoes, meat, eggs, and cheese could raise urate levels, it only did so by 1 per cent.

Professor Tony Merriman,

lead researcher, said, “our data challenge widely held communi­ ty perceptions that hyperuri­ caemia is primarily caused by di­ et, showing for the first time that genetic variants have a much greater contribution to hyperuri­ caemia than dietary exposure.”

Because you’re worth it WHO doesn’t love autumn?

Milder temperatures, snuggli‐ er clothes and the changing landscape can all make for an enchanting time of year. But what may be enjoyable for us sadly isn’t always great for our hair.

Open fires, central heating and windy weather can all dry out our locks, leaving them looking dull and unhealthy.

And with a season full of so‐ cial events ‐ from fireworks and Halloween to Christmas and New Year ‐ this change in the appearance in our hair comes at an inconvenient time.

Luckily, there is plenty we can do to limit the damage this time of year can bring (and even better news, it doesn’t involve spending hun‐ dreds of euros on new prod‐ ucts). The first thing you can do to protect your hair ‐ after using a good quality shampoo and conditioner suited to your particular hair type ‐ is to dry your hair as quickly as possi‐ ble after it has been washed.

Wet hair is much more

HAIR CARE: Limit the damage that this time of year can bring.

fragile than when it is dry be‐ cause its cuticles swell as they take on water. This repeated action in itself causes damage over time as well as leaving you vulnerable to hair break‐ age while it is wet. Try to re‐ move the majority of water from hair quickly by using a microfibre towel ‐ which is much more absorbent than a normal towel ‐ leaving it on in a turban style for up to 10 minutes. Next, it is important to seal moisture into your hair so it isn’t stripped away by heat, cold or wind.

This is as simple as using a hair serum, leave‐in condi‐ tioner, or even a light natural oil such as jojoba oil on your hair.

Finer haired types should use products sparingly as they can weigh you down, remov‐ ing volume.

Finally, if you are going to use heat to style your hair, don’t skimp on the heat pro‐ tectant which will limit the damage caused. Make sure to turn your hairdryer, tongs or straighteners down to a lower heat level before finishing with a shine spray or a small amount of serum leaving you party ready.

OWNING a dog could make you look more attractive to strangers and get a date, ac‐ cording to new research.

People with dogs are often seen as being happier, more approachable and more empa‐ thetic.

Having a four‐legged friend also suggests that men in par‐ ticular are nurturing and capa‐

One study that asked volun‐ teers to rate people based on

photographs, found they per‐ ceived someone as being hap‐ pier, more relaxed and more trustworthy if they had a dog.

Meanwhile, experiments that sent men to ask for a woman’s phone number found they were more success‐ ful if they had a dog with them.

A study on more than 1,200 Match.com users also found that nearly a third of people re‐ vealed they were ‘more at‐ tracted to someone’ because they had a pet, while more than half claimed they would not date someone who did not like pets.

Meanwhile most of the peo‐ ple who responded said they thought someone’s choice in pets revealed a lot about their personality.

More than two‐thirds of people also said they would judge their date based on how well they got along with their own pet.

Researchers in Canada have also allegedly found a correla‐ tion between higher relation‐ ship satisfaction and owning a pet.

Eight-legged friends BELIEVE it or not, many peo‐ ple actually enjoy having spi‐ ders (arachnids). However, it is important that they have adequate living conditions and are cared for carefully.

Here are some of the ad‐ vantages and disadvantages to consider before keeping an eight‐legged friend.

On the positive side, spiders are clean, quiet animals which require little space.

They are also cheap to keep, much more than a tra‐ ditional pet. Spiders can offer hours of entertainment and can serve as a valuable learn‐ ing tool for a child.

However, most concerning of all is that most spider species are poisonous to a certain extent. As with poi‐ sonous snakes, the severity of a spider bite depends on the potency and amount of the venom, where the wou‐ nd occurs and how your body re‐ acts to the venom.

And something sure to cause sleepless nights for any arachnophobic in the house is

HANDLE WITH CARE: Some spiders can give the kiss of death.

that many species of spider are expert climbers and can escape through small cracks.

It is essential, therefore, to keep the spider enclosure properly sealed, whilst still al‐ lowing fresh air to enter.

If you do decide to keep a spider you may grow to love your new pet.

However, don’t grow too attached.

Most spiders don’t tend to relate well with humans and want little or no social interac‐ tion. They also have a much shorter life compared to tradi‐ tional pets, so pop their eight clogs earlier than you might want.

Aim Higher, Achieve More

ROBERT SHALLIS HOW high are you aiming and more importantly, what target are you aiming for?

With many students returning back to school or further education, some may be feeling anxious with the challenges and stresses that lie ahead, my article this month is with them in mind, although it most certainly applies to us all when it comes to following our dreams, achieving our goals and succeeding in things we may never have thought possible before.

Author, Norman Vincent Peale once said; “shoot for the moon.

Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”

But all too often our dreams remain just dreams as we believe they are too far out of our reach and therefore perceived by many of us impossible. We feel more at ease remaining in our comfort zone and aiming and shooting for the things we feel we ‘can’ achieve. We keep ourselves small, we play small, think small and

BE PATIENT: All habits can be broken and so can self-image.

therefore achieve small results.

The pattern continues as the lack of belief in our abilities quietly prevails bringing us straight back down to earth. Those little fires of hope are soon extinguished when they try to re‐ignite any notion of that dream becoming a reality.

So, what’s the answer, what do we need to do to dismiss those moments of doubt when they arise and all too often consume us?

The first step in breaking the mould and eradicating this all too familiar pattern of behaviour is to start the practice of changing your self‐image. This isn’t always an easy task because our self‐image is constantly running in the background without consciousness.

It only decides to remind us once we’re challenged with something out of our comfort zone. That little voice will say to us ‘I can’t do this.’

‘I’m not good enough.’

It creates such an impression and a very believable reminder convincing us that it knows best.

The way to tackle this is to start editing that self‐image. Create an image of success, belief and faith in yourself until it becomes more powerful than the current image.

It’s a battle we can all win if we decide to practise doing, however, never forget to be kind and patient with yourself. All habits can be broken and so can self‐image.

It takes as much energy to see yourself succeeding as it does failing so why waste your energy on something that does not serve you to its best ability.

It is time to aim higher and think bigger and believe that you are the person who can do it, not anyone else. Yes, you! To change a situation, you need to change yourself as that’s where the power lies.

Those disempowering negative feelings are certainly real but the belief around them that we alone created, is not.

A little trick is to know that ‘a

positive thought starves any emotion created by a negative thought.’

If you can stop feeding your mind with negative thoughts and replace them with thoughts and images of success, it will soon diminish becoming weaker each time it tries.

So, with the tools to have a new found belief in yourself, you now have a reason to aim that little higher. If you shoot and miss then keep shooting as practice makes progress, which is the path to reaching where you wish to be.

Our lives are based on the results of the choices we make, therefore, make the choice to change the most important person in your life, you.

PET CHARITY ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319)

SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect.

So, if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-ani mals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

ROAD TEST

by Mark Slack H O N D A’ S C R ‐ V b e g a n production in the mid‐ 90s and has proved a popular seller for those seeking a higher quality, large SUV. The Honda comes with a 2.0‐litre, four‐cylinder petrol unit that’s mated to a twin electric motor hybrid system that recharges on the move. The sys‐ tem automatically uses the most efficient drive whether electric, hybrid or engine. It’s a perfect compromise for those who see having to plug‐ in your hybrid or elec‐ tric car as a bit of a faff.

As one might expect from Honda, the CR‐V has a classy and quality feel throughout and feels like it will be on the road for decades to come.

The CR‐V will appeal to buyers who want sensi‐ ble and spacious trans‐ port, and if that sounds a bit boring you would be wrong. True it’s not

Honda CR-V - a touch of class! going to woo buyers of more sporty SUVs but it does feel special.

It’s remarkably spacious and there’s plen‐ ty of room for the fam‐ ily to stretch out, not to men‐ tion stow all their luggage. It c o m e s with good levels of standard equipment, even on the lead‐in model, and in‐ cludes auto lights and wipers, LED lights, intel‐ ligent adaptive cruise control, smart entry and start, climate and all the usual connectivity.

The range starts from €36,874/£31,470 and there are five trim levels with two and four‐ wheel‐drive and just one

Facts at a Glance Model: Honda CR-V EX 4WD Engine: 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol with self-charging hybrid system Gears: automatic Price: €47,361/£40,420 Performance: 0-100 kph (62 mph) 9.2 seconds/Maximum Speed 180 kph (112 mph) Economy: 5.5 l/100km/51.4 mpg Emissions: 126 g/km Model tested was UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

CR-V: Will appeal to buyers who want sensible transport.

2.0‐litre engine. As with most electric and hybrid vehicles the transmis‐ sion system is automatic, however the Honda uses a single fixed‐gear ratio creating a direct connec‐ tion between moving components.

While very smooth un‐

der hard acceleration ‐ the 2WD version reaches 62 mph in 8.8 seconds, so impressive for a low powered large car ‐ it is noisy. This is in direct contrast to lower speed city driving and cruising when the CR‐V is very quiet and refined.

O n t h e road it’s a genuinely nice drive and surprisingly nimble, the ergonomics are first class with a touch screen and instruments of ex‐ cellent clarity.

The transmission and drive modes ‐ EV, Econ and Sport ‐ are all switch operated rather than by levers and make for a compact and easy to use

driving environment.

Likewise gear position is also switch operated for drive, neutral, reverse and park.

The CR‐V may be dis‐ creet and sensible, as opposed to so many models that are overtly bold and‐in‐your‐face, but that’s the secret of its success. It’s a touch of class and class doesn’t have to announce its presence.

Insurance for electric scooters P E R E N AV A R R O , t h e head of the Direccion General de Trafico (DGT), revealed on Wednesday, September 22, that some adminis‐ trations have already started to demand the implementation of mandatory insurance for users of personal mobility vehicles (VMP).

As Mr Navarro ex‐ plained while taking part in a debate on the challenges that cities face in terms of road safety and new forms of mobility, “The munici‐ palities ask for it, and the Prosecutor’s Office as well. In Spain, com‐ pulsory insurance for VMPs is already on the agenda. France has al‐ ready put it in place, and we like that mod‐ el.”

When asked if the DGT has plans to re‐ lease specific data on accidents involving this

type of vehicle, Mr Navarro replied that, “Without data, there is no road safety policy, it is what sets the path for them,” adding that the DGT is preparing a “powerful” campaign, because, “One of our main concerns is scoot‐ ers on pavements.”

During the debate, Jaime Moreno, the gen‐ eral director of Land Transport of the Min‐ istry of Transport, Mo‐ bility and Urban Agenda declared that the Covid‐ 19 pandemic, “Has meant an important change in the mentality of users, since the growth of bicycle use is unstoppable, as is that of VMPs.” While Fe d e r i c o Jimenez de Parga, the Mobility coordinator of the Madrid City Council, explained that, “At pre‐ sent, in Madrid, there are 14 companies, with

4,800 scooters, but we want to limit it, as they have done in Paris, which only has three operators, with a maxi‐ mum of 15,000 scooters (5,000 each),” confirm‐ ing that this measure will come into force within a year.

Finally, the general di‐ rector of Vivaz, David Perez, affirmed that, “Mobility in cities in re‐ cent years is undergoing a total transformation.

Our duty is to reflect on what challenges citizens will have to face.”

ELECTRIC SCOOTERS: Madrid wants to limit the numbers in use in the city.

South of Spain Walking Football history was made on Saturday September 18 at Viñuella when Nikki and Sarah became the first ladies to play in the competitive Walking Football League. They ac‐ quitted themselves well and will feature again when the Ladies Teams appear in the League Cup for the first time.

Nikki and Sarah follow in the footsteps of fellow teammate Sheila Clifford who played for Chelsea and England Ladies at the outset of women’s foot‐ ball in the UK. There are plans for a women’s League next season.

Finally a correction. I wrongly gave the Malaga A v Nerja A result as a 2‐2 draw, while the actual score was a 2‐1 victory for Malaga. Apologies to all concerned.
