Unemployment plummets to lowest level in six years ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com
O
nce again, the summer holiday season has breathed new life into Spain’s ailing labour market. Over the last quarter, the latest figures show that unemployment has fallen by a percentage point to 20 percent, its lowest level in six years since the summer of 2010.
Nevertheless, unemployment remains stubbornly high in Spain, and is the second highest in the EU after Greece. The number of people officially registered as jobless in Spain is now 4,574,700, a drop of 216,700 people compared to the same period last year. Over the last quarter, around 271,400 jobs have been created, meaning that 18,301,000 people are officially in employment. The services sector has registered the biggest increase, gaining 227,300 jobs, with construction providing a further 45,600, industry 15,700, while 17,200 positions were lost in agriculture. By region, the biggest increase has been in the Balearics with 56,000 new jobs, Catalonia with 53,700, and Murcia with 28,400. Some 11,900 jobs were lost in the Canary Islands, and 4,200 in Navarre. Spain has been harder hit by unemployment than most of the EU over the last eight years, and has proved unable to generate new jobs in large numbers. The country has endured a jobless rate of more than 20 percent for almost six years. Between the time that employment began to flag in 2007 and the moment it
hit rock bottom in early 2014, one out of every five jobs in Spain was axed, representing nearly four million positions. By early 2013, the jobless rate had soared to around 27 percent. From January to March of that year, more than 6.2 million people were without work. Spain’s unemployment is so high partly because of particular local forces that have existed for decades. Unemployment above 20 percent is not uncommon in Spain. In fact, it has been at that level in three periods since Spain’s transition to democracy in the 1970s. And, ominously, from the previous unemployment rate peak in the 1990s, it took 14 years for it to decline to the wider European level. But many of the jobs being created are temporary positions. In the last 18 months, there has been a 10 percent increase in the number of temporary workers, from 3.4 million up to 3.7 million. The temporary employment rate is now 25 percent, nearly 1.5 percentage points higher than in the same period last year. Seasonal work has always provided an annual boost for the employment figures in Spain, and this time is no exception. But the fact that it remains so strong two
years later shows that employers are still not confident enough about the future to offer permanent positions. Other indicators give an idea of the impact of the crisis on Spanish households: there are now more than 700,000 households without any kind of income, and more than 1.5 million where no member of the family has a job. And there’s the matter of the
country’s youth unemployment (those under 25 who are actively seeking jobs): an almost incomprehensible 45.5 percent. By the end of the third quarter of the year, unemployment is expected to have continued falling, although in May, the Spanish government said it did not expect the jobless rate to fall below 15 percent until 2019.

BITE SIZE Changes to Calle NEWS: Ramón Gallud
Tennis competition From the 6th to the 14th August the 21st ‘Ciudad de Torrevieja’ tennis tournament takes place. It is expected that there will be more than 300 participants. Torrevieja is due to host players not only from Spain but a number of other different countries including the Ukraine, Russia, Rumania, Sweden and Finland. There will be €2,400 of prize money as well as sports equipment to win.
Calle Ramón Gallud is the main road running through Torrevieja’s centre. As such it can become particularly congested in the summer. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, announced on the 28th July that ‘from tomorrow you will no longer be able to park on Ramón Gallud.’ This new ruling is intended to benefit tourists and visitors and boost the commercial sector in the town. The ban on parking cars is with immediate effect and should be in place by the weekend. The mayor suggests that ‘it will increase the capacity of Ramón Gallud, reduce traffic jams and prevent services from being held up such as that of the bus service.’ For some time people have been able to park their cars on the high street including in between Calles Clemente Gosálvez and Joaquín Chapaprieta. However, in practice, people have been
leaving their cars up to the crossroads with the calle Patricio Pérez. Although parking has been limited to one hour between the times of 10am and 2.00pm and between 5pm and 9pm in practice no effective control or check of this has been maintained. Allowing cars to park in this zone had been justified by the suggestion that it was better for local businesses and allowed easier access for clients. However, it is now claimed that parking there does not improve access to businesses. Instead it causes congestion throughout the town centre and is one of the factors that discourages people from visiting the town centre at all. The mayor has written to the retail association in Torrevieja and to the Asociación de Parking to inform them of the decision. Suzanne O’Connell

Shark bites man’s Money raised for BITE SIZE NEWS: the Samaritans hand Shortly before 12 noon on Friday 29th July a 40 year old man approached lifeguards on the beach of Arenales del Sol, Elche, with a deep bite to his right hand, apparently made by a shark. Teeth marks could be clearly seen although the man was not aware of what had bitten him as he bathed in the water off this popular beach. Following initial examination, the lifeguards decided that this was probably a shark attack. Although sharks are sometimes spotted in the water in the Valencia region, it is very unusual for them to attack people. The man was subsequently transferred to the General Hospital of Elche where his wound was stitched. It is thought that this may have been a blue shark which feeds on small and medium-sized fish and sometimes seabirds. Normally the shark will stay away from humans. The shark typically grows between 1.8 and 3.4 metres and
usually prefers to swim in deep water. As a precautionary measure, the yellow flag on the beach was changed to red in order to prevent any further attacks. The Marine Unit was called in to see if the shark itself could be spotted in the water. Two specialists surveyed the area in a boat, two others patrolled along the beach and four more along the paseo. It was perhaps to be expected that word soon spread about the shark bite and came in for some exaggeration too. As a result a number of new shark sightings were reported which proved not to be the case on further examination. Approximately 15 hours later it was decided to return the yellow flag, although many still chose not to return to the water and some had already made the decision to leave the beach.

The Samaritans in Spain have been delighted by the amount of money raised recently on their behalf. On the 14th July, restaurant Catorce in Benijofar held a very successful evening with entertainment and good food. The evening was a sell out with 300 enjoying the entertainment from Dusty Crack, Andy Jones and Rob Roberts. Jane Troubridge, a Trustee of the board of the Samaritans, attended along with colleagues and friends. They thanked Martyn, Paul and the rest of the team at Catorce for their support. A raffle was also held on the evening which raised €455 thanks to the generosity of those attending. On the 15th July the friends of the Samaritans held a successful ‘Secret Lush Diva’ event at Frankie’s bar in Los Montesinos. The event was attended by TKO teddy, who is the Samaritans in Spain’s mascot. Altogether €287.15 was raised. All the money raised will be put to
good use in providing much needed confidential emotional support. The phone line is open 24 hours a day on Freephone 900 525 100 or email pat@samaritansinspain.com Next event An evening’s entertainment with Lee Howard is one of the next events organised to raise money for the Samaritans. It’s to be held on Saturday 20th August at El Alto La Dolores Restaurante in Guardamar and doors open at 7.00pm. Lee Howard is a singer, guitarist and producer and has worked with many famous names and bands including Phil Collins, Paul Young and Leo Sayer. He was also a member of the Honeycombs whose single ‘Have I the right’ was a number one hit. The tickets are €10 and include a two course meal. They are available from Redz Café Bar in Quesada.

Warning about a pain relief drug Costa Blanca People have recently become aware of a difference in health regulations between Spain, the UK and Ireland that could prove fatal. The Nolotil drug is a brand name for Metamizole which is an anti-inflammatory drug use for the treatment of pain. The drug is used in Spain but is banned in Ireland, the UK, US , Australia and some other EU countries. Irish News recently published an article about a tragic case of an Irishman who had been prescribed
the drug for shoulder pain in Torrevieja and had subsequently died. William Smyth was 66 and had visited Torrevieja in February when he was prescribed the painkiller which he then took for five days. At a later date another GP in Spain discovered that his white blood cell count was very low and following further tests it was concluded that the Nolotil drug had caused toxic poisoning in his bone marrow. This led to a reduction in his white blood cells which
are used to fight infection. Billy then developed sepsis and necrotising fasciitis and sadly died following surgery. Metamizole is the generic name for the drug which can be found under a large number of brand names and is available in many countries across the world. In the 1970s it was discovered that it carries with is a small risk of causing agranulocytosis which is a potentially fatal condition characterised by a drop in white blood cells. This discovery led to a complete ban
Rubbish dumped near Los Locos It’s not unusual to see everything and the kitchen sink dumped by the bins in the streets of Torrevieja. In most cases a whole variety of items are removed by the refuse collection service in spite of their unsuitability as household waste items. However, those living around the Plaza de Los Halcones, near the beach of Los Locos, have every right to feel particularly outraged as their locality is currently being
used as a dumping ground. Garden waste, palm trees, furniture and all manner of different types of debris have been dumped in the area. Originally local residents have cleared the area only to have more litter left there. Those living locally have expressed their dissatisfaction at having to clear the area themselves when they pay taxes for the removal of waste.
Neighbours suggest that perhaps signs should be put up in different languages that outline what the rules around dumping are and what the penalties might be for those infringing them. The lack of respect for people who live in the area is causing particular anger; ‘we want to live in a clean place,’ explained one neighbour. Suzanne O’Connell
Red flag bathing It remains astounding that in spite of multiple warnings people continue to ignore the red flags on Torrevieja’s beaches and swim in the sea. Not only does this put themselves at risk but the lifeguards who must go out to rescue them if they do get into trouble. The Town Hall in Torrevieja has decided to take a firm line on this. The councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares, has called for all those using the beaches in Torrevieja to note that they are prohibited from swimming in the sea when the red flag is raised. A number of incidents continue to be recorded. The councillor has announced that people can be fined between €750 and €1,500 for entering the sea when the warning has been issued that it is not suitable for bathing. Manzanares has explained ‘over the last week there have been
more than twenty interventions by the life guards on La Mata beach when the red flag has been flying.’ Luckily this week, the incidents did not lead to fatalities, but on previous occasions they have and, unfortunately will again. The red flag is used to help bathers know when the sea is unsuitable for bathing. This might be because it is rough or because
of a strong current that might pull swimmers out to sea. ‘The red flag isn’t displayed on a whim,’ explains the councillor. ‘It’s there when sea condition are not suitable for swimming and pose a danger. We ask the bathers to use their common sense and be aware that they put their own and the lifeguards’ lives at risk.’ Suzanne O’Connell
in some countries and/ or a reduction in its availability to prescription only. In some places, however, it is still available over the counter. The article; ‘Use of metamizole in children and the risk of agranulocytosis: Is the benefit worth the risk?’ recommends that due to the severity of possible side effects and as there are other pain relief drugs available, this one is best avoided.

Spanish police have arrested two brothers in the northern city of Girona, both accused of helping to fund the socalled Islamic State’s operations in Syria and Iraq, the interior ministry said last week. The two Moroccans, aged 22 and 32, and who have not been identified, diverted funds from Europe to pay for the transfer of members of the militant group into conflict zones, the ministry explained. They are charged with financing terrorism, collaboration with a terrorist group and indoctrination, sent money to Islamic State administrators operating under false identities, it added. A search of the two men’s homes was later carried out. Interior Ministry sources said that a third brother was involved in the funding, but is believed to have died fighting in Syria. The three had used false identities provided by ISIS. Police say the supposed false identities are part of ISIS’s international fundraising network. The death of one of the brothers in Syria, who had travelled to the country with his wife and children to join ISIS, did not end the other two’s fundraising activities in Spain. Authorities say they used recent legislation to tackle money laundering in order to trace the international money transfers the cell was making. This is the first time Spanish police have been able trace remittances to ISIS, establishing that the money was put at its disposal and used primarily to fund recruiting costs. Spain increased its anti-terrorist alert to level 4 on 26th June, since when the Civil Guard has extended its investigations into
suspected ISIS cells. An Interior Ministry spokesman highlighted the importance of preventing ISIS from recruiting and fundraising in Europe. In early 2015, Spanish newspaper El Pais reported on how Spain has become a major financing hub for jihadist terrorists in Syria and Iraq through an extensive network of 250 phone call centers, butcher shops and neighborhood grocery stores, where money is transferred through an informal and virtually untraceable system, according to Spanish intelligence agencies. This network, which uses the so-called ‘hawala’ system – defined by Interpol as money transfer without money movement – manages the savings of over 150,000 Muslims without any legal oversight, and is also being used to help fund terror groups such as Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda affiliate. Hundreds of young residents in Spain – mostly Moroccans – have joined ISIS. At least 13 have died in suicide missions that caused dozens of deaths among Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s military forces. Top intelligence security officers admit they have no exact numbers on how many have traveled to Syria to join other jihadists. “It is impossible to know,” said one supervisor. Secret Network The secret hawala network in Spain is comprised of about 300 hawaladars – the majority of them Pakistanis – who run clandestine offices in Barcelona, Tarragona, Lleida, Bilbao, Santander, Valencia, Madrid, Logroño, León, Jaén and Almería, and other cities with large Pakistani communities.
The number of judicial investigations into Islamist terrorism has been growing at a fast pace in recent years. In 2014 there were 104, twice as many as in 2013, according to data released by the High Court’s prosecutor office. Spain has carried out more operations against ISIS than any other European country so far. Last year, more than 90 individuals were arrested in connection with Islamist
5
terrorism, nearly twice as many as in 2014 (46) and over four times as many as in 2013 (21). Counter-terrorism experts said the large number of raids against jihadism in Spain “has very possibly contributed to the prevention of terrorist actions in our country.” At the same time, “it could have become another source of threat, as it demonstrates that Spain is a country that efficiently combats these groups.”

Little hope of government emerging A decisive period in Spanish politics has begun, with the first of several meetings between party leaders and King Felipe VI taking place. The meetings aim to determine whether any one of the four leaders of Spain's main parties, the Popular Party (PP), the Socialists (PSOE), Podemos, or Ciudadanos, stands a chance of forming a government following the inconclusive election of 26th June, which was itself a repeat of an equally indecisive poll in December. Acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose PP won 137 seats but fell short of a congressional majority, has so far been unable to secure support from the main opposition Socialists or the reform party Ciudadanos. In order to become the next prime minister, Rajoy needs other parties to cast yes votes – or at the very least to abstain – at the investiture vote that should take place in early August in Congress. But Rajoy seems set to follow the same strategy he adopted after December's gridlock: refusing to even stand for reinstatement if he is not previously
guaranteed success. Rajoy’s ideal situation would be a yes vote from Ciudadanos in the first round of the investiture vote, which would add 32 seats to his own for a total of 169 out of the 176 he needs. This would pressure the PSOE into conceding an abstention in the run-off, when all that is required is more yes votes than no votes in the 350-seat chamber. But Felipe VI meeting with the leaders of Spain’s four main parties – including the antiausterity Podemos – Rajoy & Rivera Sánchez and Rivera are refusing to go along, saying that it is not up to them to “do Rajoy’s job.” “There is no margin for negotiations. We would sit down to negotiate a government program if there were any margin for renewal of the PP leadership,” said Ciudadanos deputy chief José Manuel Villegas, alluding to the fact that
his party would be more open to a PP government under someone other than Rajoy. We don’t want the PP to govern Spain,” said Socialist congressional spokesman
Antonio Hernando, whose party says it will oppose a PP government no matter who is at the helm. Although Felipe VI asked him to try to form a government when they met on Thursday, Rajoy had still not managed to get Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez and Ciudadanos president Albert Rivera to sit
down with him for talks. Both Rivera and Sánchez feel that the working document they recently received from the PP as a basis for talks was ‘unambitious’, ‘lacking detail’ and essentially nothing more than a summary of the conservative party’s platform. Both opposition leaders also feel that Rajoy should take responsibility for all the corruption cases affecting his party, and see him as ‘lacking leadership.’ Meanwhile, the PP is warning that it would be “absurd” for Rajoy to make a bid for office if he lacks the necessary support to be successful. “Nobody agreed to sit down with us to negotiate the PP’s document, and that’s unreasonable,” said Rafael Hernando, the party spokesman in Congress. Hernando said that all three parties were in touch almost on a daily basis, however.
“If they came up with an alternative, we would analyze that alternative,” he added. But Socialist sources said there were no daily contacts between themselves and the PP. No alternative This time around, there are also no official talks between the PSOE and any other political party. Following the failure of Sánchez’s overtures to Podemos, which did not support his investiture bid after the first election, relations between both parties have become frayed. Rajoy is feeling reinforced by his double victory at the polls in December and June, and refusing to step aside to let someone else head the party. Nor is he showing signs of offering alternative solutions such as submitting to a vote of confidence halfway through the term. Meanwhile, Sánchez is not talking to anybody, and Rivera notes that his 32 seats are not decisive, that he has already agreed to abstain rather than vote no, and that it is now up to the PSOE, with its 85 votes, to do the same in order to avoid a record third election in Spain.

The mayor warns that sanctions can be applied to those who do not obey the local bylaws. 15 year old rescued after jumping from a rock A young man of 15 years old was rescued after jumping from cliff tops in Torrevieja on Saturday 30th July. He had dislocated his shoulder after jumping from a height of five metres into the sea. This is an area where young people typically meet in order to dive off the surrounding rocks. After 8.00pm the call was made and local police were the first on the scene. However, access was difficult and there was no rescue boat to help. Finally, two people who were passing on a jet ski were able to help with the rescue and transferred the injured person to Los Locos beach where he was attended by SAMU for a bruised shoulder. Queen of salt crowned The annual crowning of this year’s Queen of Salt took place on Saturday night in the Eras de la Sal. Marta Andréu Ballester was named as the new Queen with Maids of Honour being Laura Alberca Aznar and Laura Blanco Iglesias. The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, placed the sash on the new Queen accompanied by the Hymn of Torrevieja and a small firework display. The jury were thanked and the evening also featured a performance by the Municipal School of Dance with their teacher, Nuria Girona. Over the course of next year, the Queen will perform a number of duties around the town Suzanne O’Connell

All suggestions will be considered if they are technically possible and do not go against the council’s political principles and ideology. Suzanne O’Connell

Threat of term time holiday fines recedes The cost of air fares rocket in the summer and hard-pressed families find themselves paying out absurdly high prices for flights in the peak months of July and August. It has always been the case that higher prices were payable in school holidays due to demand. However, the issue really came to a head in 2013 when regulations were changed that meant that headteachers could only give leave of absence in ‘exceptional circumstances’. Prior to this parents had been used to schools granting leave of absence for up to ten days. Those parents who defy the regulation and still go ahead with their holidays outside of school holiday time have been fined by LAs and the number of fines has rocketed in some parts of the country. It is estimated that 90,000 parents were fined for taking their children out of school in term-time last academic year (2015/2016). These fines totalled approximately £5.6 million. Following a Freedom of Information request by Santander bank it was published that
Lancashire county council issued the highest number (4,279) in 2014-2015. Doncaster was the second highestissuing LA with 3,559 fines and Bradford was third with 3,445. This total figure of £5.6 million rose from £1.5 million in 2012-13. An increase of 267% which suggests that either LAs became tougher or parents prefer to pay the £60 fine rather than cover the hike in fares they experience in the holidays. However, following a high court decision it looks as though the tide is turning. High court decision Jon Platt took his daughter out of school on the Isle of Wight for a family holiday to Florida during term-time. The school refused to authorise the holiday and a fine was issued. Platt refused to pay and the case went to court where the court ruled that as Platt’s daughter had a good attendance record he was not liable for paying absence fines to Isle of Wight Council. Many parents, encouraged by Jon Platt’s victory in the court, have followed suit and defied the stricter regulations. However, the DfE were not happy with the court’s decision and have backed the Isle of Wight Council’s request for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. Petition The harsh ways in which some schools have applied the code of practice and the enthusiasm with which councils have fined parents has brought about a backlash. An e-petition was debated in parliament on 11th July by which time it had attracted just under 200,000 signatures. The petition; ‘No more school penalty fines and bring back the 10-day authorised absence’, was discussed as
part of a Westminster Hall debate where Nick Gibb, Schools Minister, tried to defend the government’s policy stating; ‘unauthorised absences have a significantly adverse effect on the child who is absent as they miss vital stepping stones’. However, this is a increasingly difficult stance to take. The DfE do not wish to lose face on an issue that they consider to be ‘one of the Government’s most important achievements in education over the last six years’. However, the public outcry has been so strong and continues its momentum, now backed by the courts. Following public pressure and the high court decision it looks as though the number of fines applied by local authorities is reducing. The BBC recently publicised the results of their investigation suggesting that ten councils had dropped cases since Jon Platt’s victory, six had suspended issuing fines and 11 were reviewing their policy. Those Councils that have stopped issuing penalty notices include Bury, Cornwall, Derby, Dorset, Oldham and
Southwark. It is recognised in Cornwall, for example, how many workers are employed as part of the tourist trade and are unable to go away during peak times. Targets the wrong people During the parliamentary debate it was noted that the penalty fines that have been issued tend to target the wrong families. It is not those families that have children who are persistently absent who take these holidays. Instead it is families, such as shift workers, those on low incomes and those in seasonal work who have been hit hardest by the inflexibility of the Attendance Code. The debate continues and the government faces something of an impasse. As families head out to Spain for their summer holiday it’s been noticeable that more British children are coming out earlier than they might have done in previous years. Sports day and end of year parties being sacrificed for the opportunity to enjoy reasonably priced flights and a holiday with the family. Suzanne O’Connell

Turtle returned to the sea An endangered loggerhead turtle named ‘Coral’ has been returned to the sea after recovering from injuries. The turtle, weighing 19 kilos, had suffered from being hooked by a line that had become lodged in its oesophagus. Surgery was needed to remove it and the operation was conducted by the Arca del Mar and Oceanográfic. Following the operation, Coral had been recovering for three weeks and now, in perfect condition, was ready to return to its natural environment. The good news is that the turtle’s plight was reported by a fisherman following a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers that these turtles face. The fisherman, in Gandia, had

alerted the necessary authorities instead of throwing the turtle back in the sea. This had not always been the case with fisherman sometimes considering the turtles to be a nuisance and tending to throw them back if they were accidently caught in their lines and nets. If the animal had an injury this would then most likely lead to them dying as a result of their wounds. Now the attitude is different and the number of rescues has multiplied in the Valencia region. The operation to release Coral started at the Real Club Nautico in Torrevieja. In attendance were a number of those who had been
involved in the turtle’s care. Juan Antonio Pujol, marine biologist, explained that as soon as the turtle came into contact with the water it ‘plunged immediately and disappeared’. A sign that the turtle was ready for its release and now stands a very good chance of surviving. The awareness campaign to draw attention to the plight of the turtles has been spearheaded by Valencia and there is particular satisfaction that it is being heeded. The chance of a turtle surviving if it is handed in following a catch in almost 90%. If it is thrown back in the water it’s almost 100% sure that it will die. Suzanne O’Connell

From severe stutter to academic lecturing Adam Black, whose parents live in Gran Alacant, has stuttered all his life, a disability that affects one percent of the world’s population. Adam battled with his speech all through childhood and felt hampered by his affliction. He always believed his dreams of becoming a teacher could never happen. Worse still, the man who has just become a father for the first time thought he might never be able to read his son a bedtime story. However, ten years ago the twenty-six year-olds life changed dramatically after he discovered The McGuire Programme. This course enabled Adam to evolve from a youngster fearful of opening his mouth, into a teacher guest lecturer who has confidently addressed academic conferences across the country. Dave McGuire created the therapy course specifically to help those who stutter control and accept their disability and encourage them to achieve their goals. The course enabled Glasgow-born Adam to retrain and he has now been teaching for 5 years. He has also been nominated for a national diversity award for his inspirational work with children. Adam said: “The McGuire Programme’s motto is to treat speaking like a sport, so I do breathing exercises every morning and then there is a phone list of people you can call to practice speaking challenging sounds or phrases – it’s like a golfer practicing on a driving range.” Although his parents had always been aware of his stutter, Adam was 10 years old when he first became aware of it whilst reading a book out loud in class.
There was a certain word he just couldn’t get around the sound of and which changed he world forever. “From that day, even if I knew the answer to a question in class I would not put my hand up. “I could go long enough without any evidence of a stutter when I was speaking to people I was comfortable with. It was different when I was uncomfortable, like meeting a girl at a party. The thought of introducing myself was terrifying. “Moving on through school I had a great group of friends who looked out for me and they made things easier, but the thought of leaving that comfort zone behind was frightening. “Stuttering can be so isolating. On the surface you are normal but on the inside you are tangled because you cannot express yourself.” No cure Adam’s parents tried everything to help; NHS therapy, elocution lessons, metronome speech therapy and even hypnotherapy, however nothing worked. Adam had always wanted to be a teacher but instead, due to his stutter, he chose a sports course because it did not involve speaking. The McGuire course changed that and Adam’s life. He joined the course in Newcastle which offers an intense four days of therapy. The twelve-hour days shoe-horn a full year’s work into the short time frame, but Adam is convinced that the intensity is why it works. The adult-only course offers a physical
technique known as costal or deep breathing which is often used by opera singers, combined with a psychological strategy to successfully manage the condition. “A big part of the success is self acceptance,” says Adam. “I will always have a stutter but the programme encourages occasional deliberate dysfluency. It seems strange, but when you deliberately stutter it helps you to feel like you have some control.” Adam has been nominated as a positive role model in the disability category of the National Diversity Awards. The ceremony will be held in Liverpool in September. Mireille Toddington

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE
After its hour in the sun during last Thursday's European Central Bank press conference the euro rather faded into the background. Friday's provisional purchasing managers' index readings from Germany and panEuroland were mostly better than forecast and IFO's survey of German companies found them more upbeat than expected. The same went for the EC's own confidence measures, which were all unchanged or better on the month. None made much difference to the currency. When Markit, a financial information firm, publishes its monthly provisional purchasing managers' index readings for Europe and the United States it does not usually include the UK figures. On Friday, for the first time, it did so. The preliminary manufacturing sector PMI for July came in at 49.1 and for the services sector it was 47.4. Both were sharply lower and both were below the 50 breakeven level at 49.1 and 47.1 respectively. Whilst the PMIs on their own are not sufficient to identify a recession, they are early indicators of how the private sector is performing. And sub-50 readings mean it is slowing down. The reaction of investors was unequivocal. They did not like what they saw and they took it out on the pound, instantly knocking one US cent and one and a half euro cents off sterling's value. Having been hawkish for most of his tenure at the Bank of England, MPC policy maker Martin Weale rocked sterling's boat by telling the Financial Times that Friday's weak PMI readings had persuaded him that further monetary stimulus is necessary. His change of mind makes it more likely that the MPC will cut interest rates next month, which caused the pound to fall to a 12-day low against the euro. It’s easy to forget a time before the EU referendum; such has been the tumult in the wake of the shock Brexit vote in June. On Wednesday we were reminded of this more sedate period, following the release of the Q2 GDP figures, which revealed that the UK economy had a stronger-than-expected performance in the runup to polling day. Growth accelerated to 0.6 percent during the second quarter of 2016, official figures show. It follows growth of 0.4% in the first quarter, the Office for National Statistics said. Unsurprisingly, this
expansion is likely to mark the end of more than three years of uninterrupted growth. Recent surveys show that business and consumer sentiment have been dented by the Brexit vote last month. Consequently, economists predict GDP will fall in Q3 and Q4, forcing Britain into its first recession since 2009. Investors saw no reason to buy sterling on the back of the GDP data and the CBI Distributive Trades Survey, published 90 minutes later, contained nothing to change their minds. At -14 it represented the biggest monthly fall in over four years. It was unchanged against the euro as a result The US Federal Reserve issued its latest monetary policy statement which, as expected, revealed that the target range for the federal funds rate will remain between 0.25%-0.5%; maintaining the ultra-low level they have been at since December 2015. The Fed said "near-term risks to the economic outlook have diminished," but inflation remained below the bank's target. In doing so they paved the way for raising interest rates later this year but stopped short of signalling that move could come as soon as September. Whilst the statement was generally upbeat there was an undercurrent of caution, as they could push back a hike if inflation doesn’t pick up. Investors were not enamoured by the Fed's enthusiasm and were in no rush to buy the US dollar. It was the day's weakest performer, losing two thirds of a cent to the euro. The pound experienced its biggest drop in in two weeks against the euro towards the end of the week, as investor speculation that the Bank of England (BOE) will lower interest rates for the first time in more than seven years on August 4th rapidly morphed into expectation. In fact sterling fell versus all of its 16 major peers after swaps pricing indicated a 100 percent chance that the BOE will cut its key rate from a recordlow 0.5 percent, where it’s been since March 2009. This represents a significant shift in the banks stance on monetary policy when we consider that markets were only pricing in around a 15 percent chance of such action on June 23rd – EU referendum polling day. The euro added half a cent on the week and strengthened by a cent against the pound.
Spain avoids EU sanctions In a surprising last-minute turn of events, following a tense meeting of more than three hours, the European Commission last week decided to cancel sanctions against Spain and Portugal despite their continuous deficit target misses. Spain, of course, had been pressuring for just such a move for days. Italy and France also opposed the sanctions for reasons of their own, in contrast with Germany, which had been defending tough action against target violators. In the end, Brussels has found a way to avoid using the sanctions defined in the Stability Pact against two of the countries that have been hardest hit by the financial crisis and which have enacted more cuts than anyone else. Spain and Portugal were facing fines of up to 0.2 percent of GDP, wich in Spain’s case would have meant €2.2 billion. On Monday, the Commission put three options on the table: cancelling the infringement proceedings —the top choice for Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, issuing the highest possible fine, or opting for a lower sanction of €1.1 billion, as proposed by EC Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis. On Wednesday,
Dombrovskis reduced that figure Spain to reduce its once-soaring further to €500 million. deficit. In exchange, however, Brussels “The Commission admits that is setting tough new targets for both countries have made Spain and Portugal: 4.6 percent of significant structural efforts that GDP in 2016, 3.1 percent in 2017 we cannot ignore,” said Moscovici. and 2.2 percent in 2018. There were other factors that The EC will keep a close eye on came into play, such as the fact both countries’ public accounts that Spain has been under a through quarterly reports.

Easy tips for looking younger without surgery Although professional skin care treatments and cosmetic surgery are the best-known ways to physically look younger, there are many other much less expensive – not to mention less invasive - tricks for turning back the clock. Give these top tips a try… Firstly focus on collagen. Collagen is a protein produced by our cells that helps ‘hold’ the skin together, keeping it looking younger and giving it firmness and elasticity. When we’re young, our skin stays plump and smooth because it constantly regenerates itself. However, as we age, collagen production slows – and existing collagen can get damaged due to sun exposure and bad skin habits. The result is wrinkles and sagging skin that’s going south. Luckily, there’s lots you can do to preserve your collagen and even boost its production Up your vitamin C intake for young skin A study published in the American Journal of Nutrition found women over 40 with the highest amount of vitamin C in their diet were less likely to develop wrinkles than those who consumed lower levels. Vitamin C is crucial to the formation of collagen - without it amino acids can’t be linked to form the protein. Good sources are red pepper, dark green leafy vegetables like broccoli and sprouts, tomatoes, oranges and kiwi fruit. Skincare that contains vitamin C is also thought to encourage collagen repair - it’s usually listed on the label as L-Ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate or ascorbyl phosphate. Reach for retinol Retinoid creams – only available on prescription – have been proven to help boost collagen production. Retinoids reduce substances in the skin that break down collagen after sun exposure and also target receptors in the skin which
increase the production of collagen. Exfoliate Exfoliation – removing the top, dead layer of skin – helps speed up the natural process of skin and collagen renewal. A good way to exfoliate is with chemical exfoliants such as glycolic acid and lactic acid. They dissolve the glue-like substance that bonds dead skin to the surface rather than sloughing it away like scrubs do, and give a more even result, leaving skin looking healthier and more radiant. Add antioxidants to your skincare regime Antioxidants help protect against free radicals that can cause ageing skin. The term ‘free radical’ describes a damaged skin cell. It’s ‘free’ because it’s missing an electron (healthy cells have two electrons, a damaged cell has one). Free radicals attach themselves to healthy skin cells and basically suck out the electrons they need, leaving healthy skin cells damaged. This process triggers an enzyme in the skin that breaks down collagen. Antioxidants help by neutralising the free radical so that it doesn’t have to feed off our healthy skin cells. Sip on green tea It contains antioxidants called catechins and eat foods high in lutein, an antioxidant found in green leafy veg like spinach. Look for creams and serums containing antioxidants too. Once you have the collagen back on track you can focus on everyday things you can do to generally give a more youthful appearance… Stand up straight If you’ve been working in an office for years, you may have noticed that your back is starting to curve. Walking with poor posture can also make you look older. Be sure to stand up straight and lightly suck in your stomach.
Slap on the sunscreen The sun may give you vitamin D, but you should never go outside without applying sunscreen. If you spend a lot of time outside in direct sunlight, your skin may age prematurely over time. You can see this in people who spend their lives working outdoors without protecting their skin from UV rays. Drink water every day Drinking water on a daily basis has many health benefits. If you drink at least one litre of water a day, your skin will retain its elasticity and radiance longer— and it’ll be suppler. You’re guaranteed to look younger! Don’t drag your feet This happens especially in winter when everyone is wearing big boots. But be warned, the habit of dragging your feet can make you look older. In fact, walking this way tells other people that you’re tired and easily exhausted. There’s no need to look like a soldier in a parade, but at least be sure to lift your feet with every step you take. Take a sake bath Dry skin can make you look older. Why not try an organic sake bath? Simply empty a litre of 12 pervent sake into your tub and add a few drops of rose essential oil. Quit smoking Tobacco is known for speeding up the skin’s ageing process. Studies have proven this countless times. If you’re considering quitting, here’s another reason for you. Practice yoga In addition to improving your posture, yoga can help you get in better shape. Yoga helps you to learn to be more Zen and release any tension in your body. This will make your facial muscles more relaxed, which will help slow the appearance of wrinkles on your face. Eat better Add antioxidant-rich foods like certain
vegetables and foods high in omega-3 like fish to your diet. Since these foods improve blood flow, those bags under your eyes will be less visible. Get more sleep Adults should sleep seven to eight hours a day. If you sleep just a few hours a day, you’re sure to look tired and older. If you tend to have trouble sleeping, see your doctor. Use green tea in a new way Of course, it’s a good idea to drink green tea, but you can also use it to clean your skin. Simply make enough tea to fill a bowl. Wait for the liquid to cool so you don’t burn yourself. Then splash your face with the tea for several seconds. After the treatment, apply moisturiser to your skin. Moisturise your face You should apply moisturiser to your face every day. Experts recommend using three different types: a daily moisturiser for the morning, a night cream for before bed, and finally, a balm. A professional will help recommend the best one for your skin type. Avoid major weight changes If you’re constantly losing and gaining weight because of dieting, you can end up affecting your skin’s elasticity. Your skin will no longer be as supple, and you’ll look older. Remove your makeup If you wear makeup, you should take the time to remove it at night, no matter how tired you are. Leaving your makeup on can put your skin at risk for developing micro-inflammations. This phenomenon causes skin tissue to age. Play a sport It’s no surprise that many doctors will tell you that physical activity can help you look younger, as long as you don’t overdo it.. Look after your teeth Even if you have the most elastic skin in the world, if your smile reveals bad teeth, you’ll look old, it’s inevitable. So
brush your teeth every day and see your dentist at least once a year. Avoid white bread In addition to being less nutritious, some researchers also believe that white bread causes acne. As an adult, acne doesn’t make you look younger, and it can do some serious damage to your face. Go easy on the sweets Sugar can prematurely age your skin. Too much glucose in the blood can lead to a phenomenon called protein glycation. It can cause the skin tissue to age more quickly than usual. Don’t forget your hands Although lots of people spend a ton of time trying to keep their face young, they often forget their hands. They can also give away your age! Apply hand cream every day. Your pharmacist can suggest products that will work best for you. Also, it’s a good idea to wear gloves while doing household chores. Have sex more often A study published in 2013 by the British Psychological Society concluded that couples who had sex at least three times a week didn’t look their age. In fact, most looked five to seven years younger. If you’re in a relationship, you know what to do!

African violet (Saintpaulia) is one of those rare house plants that will flower continuously all year long, even through the dark winter months, and add colour and cheer to any area you put them. will stop soaking up the water in the saucer. Make sure to empty any unused water! Do not let your plant sit in a saucer full of water; it will drown. Also, do NOT mist the foliage. Water spots on the foliage may cause permanent leaf spotting.
In fact, African violets are one of the easiest indoor plants to grow once you are aware of a couple of their very simple requirements. They naturally like filtered light and temperatures that most houses have on a year-round basis, and provided you know a few key other things there is no reason you cannot have a house full of colourful, velvety, African violets for years to come. So if you have ever struggled with African violets, follow these 6 key tips, and you will be amazed how well they will respond.
6 KEY TIPS:
1. Give them the temperatures they like which are: 18° to 24° C (65° to 75° F) daytime temperatures,15° to 18° C (60° to 65° F) night time temperatures. Any hotter or colder and they will not do well. Avoid temperature fluctuations, including sudden drafts. 2. Give them good indirect or filtered light. Always avoid any hot or direct sunlight. It will scorch the plants and cause leaf blemishes and burns. Think about their natural habitat which is under forest canopies. So the better the sunlight you give your
violet without it being direct, hot sun, the more often it will flower for you. During the winter months, when the sunlight is weaker, your plants may benefit from the light of a southern exposure. And remember, African violets also do well with artificial light, such as in an office - they are quite flexible plants. 3. Water from underneath. The fastest way to kill African violets is to over-water them! African violets need to stay evenly moist at all times so the best way to water them is from underneath using room temperature water. Use a container that has a saucer. When you feel the soil and it is starting to dry out, simply fill the saucer underneath a few times. When the plant has had enough, it
4. If you use African violet pots: African violet pots are special pots that come in two separate pieces. If you want to use African violet pots, then plant your violet directly into the top portion of the pot. The trick here is even though the instructions for these pots tell you to fill the lower portion and leave the water there, DON'T do it! When your violet is dry, just pour water into the lower pot, put the top pot in for about an hour or until the plant is nicely moist, then pour out any unused water. Leave the lower pot dry until it is time to water again. 5. African violets like fertilizer. African violets will flower more often if you feed them regularly. A balanced, liquid fertilizer (i.e. 10-1010) works fine. After you have mixed the fertilizer with water, let the container stand overnight to let the
chlorine in the water evaporate, and to bring the water to room temperature. This is important because African violets do not like cold water or chlorine. 6. Re-pot your African violets every six months to one year. The soil you use must have excellent drainage. This is
critical. You can mix your own soil using 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite and 1/3 perlite. Secondly, use the right sized pot
because all Saintpaulias must be potbound to flower. An African violet's root system is only about 1/3 of the diameter of the plant so choose a pot that is 1/3 the diameter of the plant. Choosing the proper sized container helps prevent root rot because if you use too large and deep a pot, it will lead to excess moisture in the soil and the roots will die. Note: If one of your African violets has developed a neck, which is that bare place where the leaves have been taken off, make sure to re-pot your plant as soon as possible, and make sure the neck is covered with soil when it has been replanted. It will then grow new roots along the newly buried neck area. One last note: African violet plants are pet friendly and they are not toxic to animals, so you can have as many as you want throughout your home. African violets are very satisfying to have around because they have such a lush appearance with their velvety leaves and glittering flowers, so if you have a record of killing house plants, give it one more try with an African violet.

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com
I owe this woman an apology ‘Sticks and stones may break your bones – but words will never hurt you.’ Surely that has to be the most incorrect idiom of all time? Words do hurt and not only that, but the hurt often lasts longer than when all the scars of sticks and stones would be long since healed. The hurt of words can last a lifetime. Sometimes the hurtful words are calculating and delivered with intent, but unfortunately it is more often caused by a throwaway remark where no offence was meant. Let me tell you what is on my mind and also give you a few examples of me as both a giver and a taker. This week’s column is prompted by a glib and meaningless remark I passed and may inadvertently have hurt an innocent lady who was just going about her business and meeting a friend for a coffee. I was enjoying breakfast with a friend in the Annebrook Hotel. We happened to be slagging each other off about how poor the shape we are in comparison to our squash days. Just then a guy we knew well from back in those days came in (carrying a
lot of lead) and sat at the counter. ‘Isn’t that an awful shape’, sez I. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have said it about anyone … but it was just one of those harmless, flippant comments that most of us sometimes engage in. It gets worse … Joe didn’t see where I was looking and he looked straight over to where a lady was paying at the cash register. She turned round – and I knew by the look on her face that she heard me and thought I was referring to her. It is then I made the biggest mistake of all by doing nothing and it has bothered me since. I should have gone over to the woman’s table, explained myself and apologised – but I didn’t. It would have been easy – because the guy I passed the remark about was still there. The lady was not a resident of the hotel and not a local – as far as I can guess. I hope I meet her someday, because my words may have caused her anger, anxiety or stress even. I think us all have experienced similar incidents when an overheard remark causes hurt. When I was sixteen, I was at a dance in Delvin one night. I had only
started going to the dances and I was shy and unsure of myself … and I couldn’t dance worth a damn! (Lads …please … there are ladies present) The Merry Minstrels were playing. I would only chance asking someone I knew to dance; ‘a duty dance’ it was called and it gave me licence. Just as I was about to tap a former schoolmate on the shoulder, I heard her say to her friend; ‘get in front of me – I’m trying to avoid that Bernie Comaskey.’ I didn’t ask anyone else to dance that night – nor for a long time afterwards. I am friends with that woman today – but of course I wouldn’t dream of ever mentioning the dance we never had. She probably had her eye on some guy and didn’t want to miss out by wasting a dance on me. I won’t even mention her first name. She is a nice person and was a nice girl that time … but I got hurt over an unintentional insult. A few years ago, a blast from the past came into my Spanish pub. We had done a few boozing sessions in another life a long time before. Naturally I looked after my long lost
buddy with a few drinks and so on. Doing my rounds late in the night I was right behind my friend as he was telling a group of regulars; ‘the last time I saw the owner, I was stepping over him at a Fleadh Ceoil in Cashel.’ I didn’t let on to hear the remark – and anyway, it was the truth. I wasn’t overly bothered by his derogatory description of me, but I felt he could have left it in Cashel! Anyway, neither he nor anybody else was stepping over me that night! We are all inevitably prone to hurting someone with our words, even when it is unintentional. If we had to restrict our conversation to being ultra-careful of everything we say, it would stifle banter, debate and even childish fun. Still … I wish that that I could meet and apologise to that woman …
Words can make a deeper scar than silence can ever heal.

Welcome to CHISINAU with Vivalia Travel Chisinau is the capital of Moldova with a population of over 800.000 for the metropolitan area which covers an area of 563.3 km2.
Chisinau is the capital of Moldova with a population of over 800,000 for the metropolitan area which covers an area of 563.3 km2. Chisinau is very wealthy compared to the rest of the country, as Moldova is not a very rich country. As is common in developing countries, you are likely to see great disparities in wealth. It's also very much a post-Soviet city, with both the good and bad qualities associated with it. By other side you'll see many modern and great buildings of steel, concrete and glass.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO Cathedral Park- Better known as Central Park, is in the very centre of the city. The centre is adorned with the Nativity Cathedral, the main church for the city. To the Southwest is the Triumph arch constructed in 1841 which is the center piece of The Great National Assembly Square. Across Stefan cel Mare Boulevard is the Government House. Rose Valley- A nine hectare park featuring three major lakes and several restaurants. Riscani Park. A big, 32 hectare wooded park offering you pleasant, almost secluded walks. Jewish Cemetery in Buiucanithe cemetery is still in use. Contains new and very old graves, and used to be one of the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. Bear in mind that at one point between 40 and 60% of Chişinău's population was Jewish. It also contains an old
destroyed synagogue and a monument for the Torah scrolls. On the other hand, there are a number of shops and shopping centres in Chişinău. If you are just visiting Chişinău, consider buying a special cognac selection of about 30 small bottles, with different sorts of cognac. It can make a nice gift. Moldovan wines are deservedly famous across the former Soviet Union, yet are little known in Europe. Take the opportunity to sample them. Cigarettes are also much very cheap in Moldova (most are 10 to 20 lei for a packet of 20 cigarettes), most other countries will allow you to bring a carton of 200 cigarettes without paying taxes. Chişinău Souvenir Bazaar- The city's main artisan market. One can find hand made crafts, paintings and relics from the Soviet days. English is limited, but many products have a marked price. Negotiating prices is aceptable. Unic - An all purpose soviet-style shopping center in Chişinău. Located on the corner of Stefan cel Mare and Ismail.
EAT AND DRINK Chişinău is a good place for food lovers. There are plenty of good places to eat all over Chişinău. The cheap, tasty food that is very popular with the locals is served in most places. For better service and more diverse food selection, there are a lot of small restaurants and cafes. Some restaurants have prices comparable to Europe, although if you eat only in those you may find yourself being
ripped off. For a quick lunch, try fast food stores and pizzerias, these can be found on nearly every corner. Beef is often under the veal part of the menu. For groceries, there are small shops all over. Some are even located right in front of the apartment blocks just a few steps away from their entrances. For harder-to-find items, head to a supermarket. You will frequently also see markets or even one or two random people selling fruit and vegetables, and sometimes other products such as honey or "brinza" (type of cheese). The majority of these are fresh and perfectly safe to eat and frequently better than what is found in a supermarket. On the other hand, drinks such as vodka are served on their own. So don't be surprised if your vodka sprite is served as a two separate drinks. Also club soda seems difficult to procure, at least in English. WinesMoldavan wines, cognac, liquor and juice are all on par with the best of Eastern Europe. For one thing, manufacturers tend to use only organic products. Secondly, these products are made in the traditional way. Restaurants tend to sell only local wines, but only those of the highest standards. Beer A very famous is named "Bere Chişinău". It was awarded with the Nr.1 Gold Medal at the Nuremberg beer competition in 2007, beating German, Czech and others. It can be found in all the bars on every street in Chişinău, so finding a place for a drink is not a problem.

Update from Help Vega Baja HELP Vega Baja has had a presence in the town of Torrevieja for over 35 years and recently announced that their office in Rambla Juan Mateo GarcĂa, 4, Torrevieja will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only. President Michele Masson keeps us informed of the new developments. As a charity we are very aware of
changing times and much of the information that people would in the past have come to charities like ours for is now often available on the internet. It is therefore important that we provide the information that is required in other ways, be it via our facebook page or our website which is currently being updated. Once
completed, our website will include a great deal of information, links to other organisations and also people will be able to sign up to become members or renew their memberships online. Our Torrevieja office has been renovated and we are keen that people are aware that our team of volunteers will still be available to help visitors to the office as they have always done in the past to answer questions and help wherever they can. The Centre in San Miguel remains unchanged and is open Monday to Friday as is the charity shop and mobility hire which are also at the San Miguel Centre. The helpdesk in La Marina is open every Thursday at the Hope Christian Fellowship Centre (opposite the market site). Although the Torrevieja office will not be available in the usual manner on a Monday and Friday we want to reassure people that we will still have a presence in the town and will be using the office for other activities on these days including making it available to our solicitor Jordi Sole who can see members there for their free consultation as part of their benefits. Our Welfare officer, Wendy Burton, will also be available there to help members and non-members complete documents, for example attendance allowance applications, by appointment through the San Miguel Centre. We have several other exciting possibilities in the pipeline which we
will announce as they become confirmed. The charity is moving forward in many areas and although it means that there have had to be many changes, our volunteers have really shown terrific support and I would like to thank each and every one of them. We have served the community in Vega Baja now forover 35 years and we aim to continue doing so,with the support of our volunteers, in the future. Our Facebook page is also becoming more and more popular and with Brexit very much on the minds of people, we are doing whatever we can to ensure that only good and accurate information is posted from reliable sources such as the British Consulate. HELP considers working together with other charities important and hopefully will benefit members and supporters of all charities. So far, we have agreed to collaborate withAgeConcern on their KIT (Keep In Touch) scheme, and have several other proposals in the background that will be announced over the next few months as they become finalised. Michele Masson, President of HELP Vega Baja.
Advance notice of the Christmas Fayre The very popular HELP Christmas fayre is already planned for the 19th November and preparations are well underway with volunteers working to
ensure there are plenty of stalls full of bargains, prizes for raffles and the ever popular home bakes. A long time supporter of the charity and ex volunteer Bob Heron sadly passed away shortly after celebrating his 100th birthday. Bob’s family have donated a television for the Christmas raffle in his memory and the charity would like to thank the family publicly for this very kind donation. For more information about how HELP Vega Baja can help you or if you are part of a group and would like someone to come along and give a talk about HELP, please contact the office manager, Richard Garland, at San Miguel office on 966 723 733. Finally, there is a 24 hour Emergency helpline which can be used by anyone whether they are a member or not who find themselves in an emergency situation and require our help again, phone 966 723 733.

Fundraising buys new fence for Horse Rescue Centre Work will soon begin on a major upgrade on the border fence at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre after generous supporters helped raise €13,000 in just three months to secure the Rojales sanctuary’s collapsing perimeter. The equine rescue centre launched the fundraiser in March, after a custody battle over a walking skeleton rescued horse named Oscar turned sour, leaving centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding feeling ‘under siege’ in their own home. The centre suffered a string of breakins and Sue and Rod, who created the refuge at their home, also began to notice vans driving past slowly at night. More than 90 online donors, plus countless others at the centre’s monthly open days and via its charity shops, generously donated to allow the immediate construction of a secure new 378m boundary fence. Sue said: “We've been overwhelmed by the generosity of our supporters. This fence upgrade is so important to the safety of our animals who have already suffered so much in their lives, and also to secure our belongings and home.” The final donations came as a peacock named Jasper was stolen from the rescue centre earlier this month - thankfully, he was later returned - and a two-year-old foal named Lily suffered a stable injury in which foul play could not be ruled out. X-rays have revealed that Lily is suffering from a fractured vertebrae that may leave her permanently disabled. The injury is believed to have been caused by a severe impact to her neck one night while she was in her stable. Other items stolen from the
rescue centre over recent months included a television, heater, fan, saddles, bridles and tools. While the thefts were deeply concerning, Sue said
The fence fundraiser remains open and extra donations can still be made at easyhorsecare.net/donate/supp ort-our-fence-fundraiser.
Boundary fence she and Rod felt buoyed by the wave of support for the centre’s fence fundraiser. She thanked everyone who donated to the cause – from those who could spare just €5 to the three kind souls who anonymously donated €1000, £1000 and €5000 each. “When you start a rescue centre like ours, you do it because you cannot ignore the wrongs you are witnessing. You don't really have a plan. You are motivated by a passion that drives you forward,” Sue said. “The wonderful thing is that so many people have now joined us on this journey, helping and supporting in so many ways that we feel we are no longer on our own.” The Weedings are now awaiting final council approval before beginning work on a new two-metre high block wall across the road-front boundary of the rescue centre, complete with concrete foundations and topped by metal fencing for extra security.
The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre’s more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Donations of cash or items for the centre’s network of seven charity shops across the Alicante province are gratefully welcomed. A pick-up service is available to collect large donated items such as furniture and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased in-store. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. A free horse tour with centre cofounder Rod Weeding begins at 2pm and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.
Four-day Air Europa strike grounds 114 flights Air Europa has cancelled 114 flights due to a four-day pilot strike which began on Saturday and will cover the annual ‘August exodus’. A total of 76 international flights and 38 internal routes were grounded on Saturday and Sunday, 30th and 31th July, and Monday and today 1st and 2nd August. The worst-affected connections are those between Madrid and Paris-Orly, Málaga and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Madrid and A Coruña and Vigo in the north-western Spanish region of Galicia, and Madrid and Bilbao, in the Basque Country. Air Europa guaranteed 100 percent of flights connecting the mainland with the Canary Islands, Balearics and the
Spanish-owned city-province of Melilla on the northern Moroccan coast, and up to 50 percent of national and international flights where alternative public transport would have to cover at least 500 kilometres or take more than five hours. Minimum services include around 25 percent of flights to other Spanish airports where alternative public transport would take less than five hours or involve less than 500 kilometres of travel, and all flights due to take off before the strike starts will run as normal. Affected passengers can rebook for a different flight on the same day if available, or at a later date ‘if there are seats
available’ - or, if neither of these options is possible or satisfactory, a complete refund. Pilots are on strike because they say staff and production are being shifted more and more towards Air Europa's lowcost affiliate, including part of its Embraer 190 fleet being redeployed for medium-haul trips. This, pilots say, will involve career progress and salary limitation. However, the airline insists that not one single pilot will be affected by its setting up a low-cost branch, and has 'guaranteed' their career progression and associated wages. Air Europa bosses continued to negotiate in an attempt to call off the strike before it went ahead.

Counterfeit alcohol sales hit Spain hardest Spain is the EU country that is most seriously affected by the underground production of counterfeit wine and other alcoholic beverages. Every year, local producers lose €263 million on account of all the fake products introduced into the market. This trend affects sales but also jobs and tax revenues, notes the EU’s Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in its 8th report on the economic costs of fake products, which was released last week. The study estimates that legitimate producers in the EU lose up to €1.3
billion a year to fake alcoholic drinks, representing 3.3 percent of all sales. In Spain, which is hardest hit in absolute terms, losses are in the region of €173 million for alcoholic beverages and €90 million for wine. Spain is followed by Italy, Germany and France in terms of losses caused by counterfeit drinks. In the United Kingdom, losses are lower than the EU average, and estimated at €87 million. Between 2008 and 2013, the European market for alcoholic drinks accounted for €22 billion in annual
sales, according to the report. Exports to non-EU countries reached €8 billion, compared with €1 billion in imports. As for wine, Spain is one of Europe's three main producers along with France and Italy; together they represent 80 percent of production in the EU. Spain is also the country with the largest number of specialized businesses (3,700), compared with 1,800 in Italy and 1,500 in France. Fake food and drinks affect the EU in many ways, from lower sales to job destruction. Spain heads the list of countries with the biggest job losses in absolute terms (around 1,000 workers), followed by Romania, Bulgaria and France. Counterfeit production is difficult to detect and its economic impact hard to assess. In the case of wine and alcoholic beverages, EUIPO estimates that the direct and indirect effects of the drop in sales came out to an annual average of €3 billion for the 2008-2013 period across the EU. The report also notes that states lose millions as a result of unpaid VAT or Social Security contributions. In Spain, these losses are estimated at €90 million, below those in Britain and France.

THE ELEMENTAL ANGELS OF AIR Air is connected to the breath of life, the wind through the trees and dealing with communication and power of the mind. The four elements are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These elements are the root of all matter, and stand for creation itself. Without even one of the elements, our planet would not exist. Throughout ancient, medieval and modern times through many cultures and philosophies, these four elements have been written about in teachings from around the world with tools and artefacts uncovered as proof that these people existed and lived in balance with the knowledge of the elements. In these ancient times, the four elements were considered the building bricks of the Universe with wise beings of those times seeing themselves as a reflection of the Universe by studying mother nature and the stars using the information they obtained as a method of understanding our Creator, and themselves. Every day we walk upon the earth, Feel every breath we take and the wind in our hair, warm ourselves beside the fire, and wash ourselves in water. Air stands for thought, Fire for desire, Water for emotions, and Earth for stability, and many sayings have derived from this such as ‘Flames of Passion’ – Fire, ‘Solid as a Rock’ –
Earth, ‘Cool breeze of reason’ – Air, and ‘Swamped by emotion’ – Water. The element of Air is particularly significant in magic, because just like magic, it cannot be seen. The element of air is very powerful as it provides oxygen for all living beings on earth and its symbol is a pair of wings standing for communication, freedom, mental power and the intellect. The wings are significant in magic as they stand for everything spiritual and the heavenly realms as Angels are depicted with wings. The angels of air are also associated with knowledge, the intellect and understanding the mysteries and they have a way of sweeping away everything old and musty, bringing in sweetness and allowing us to cause spiritual actions and processes. Ask the Angels of Air to give you peace and strength if you require assistance with a past life regression or previous incarnation. The element of air is connected to the soul and powers of the mind, and as such, the Angels of Air will assist in dispelling any negativity from memories of past lives, helping you to bring new ideas to fruition as well as recognising
fresh opportunities that come your way. The Angels of Air will also assist with psychometry, hypnosis and astral projection, wrapping you in their loving wings in the process. The Archangel that is associated with the element air is Archangel Raphael who is known as the healer, or the doctor. Angel Bells A beautiful ritual you could carry out in your home is that of the Angel Bells which will welcome the Angels of Air and the elementals of that realm. You will need a set of wind
chimes or hanging bells that create a lovely tinkling noise when rung. If possible, try to get them in the shape or form of angels but if this isn't possible any lovely chimes will do. Go with what you are drawn to. Hang them outside your house and ring them gently three times, calling on the Angels of Air to bless your home. Wait for a while after you have hung them and before long, the breeze will take the chimes and ring them in reply. This is a message from the angels to let you know your spell has been heard and answered!

The initial reluctance of Buckingham Palace to mourn Diana is seen by the public as a sign of cool emotional distance. But Tony Blair, perceiving a potential public-relations disaster in the making, takes it upon himself to persuade Queen Elizabeth to pay tribute to the dead princess - something that goes against the taciturn queen's usual instincts.

Food and drink in Northern Ireland on the rise The value of food and drink in Northern Ireland has risen to a tasty £4.6 billion, reports DAERA. Output by Northern Ireland’s food and drink industry increased by 1.1 percent in 2015 the government figures reveal. However, the rise marks a slight slowing of growth when compared to that from 2013 to 2014, when the industry grew by 1.5 percent. The figures come in a report from the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, compiled from data on the values of sales, exports, value added and number of employees from all food and drink sectors. The most valuable markets for the agri-food sector were those of beef and sheep meat, where sales increased by £21 million, and milk and milk products, which grew by £14 million.
Combined, these sub-sectors made up nearly half - 49 percent - of the total gross turnover. The number of full-time workers directly employed by the food and drink sector also rose to 21,048 in 2015, marking a 1.6 percent rise. The UK remained the region's top export market, with 44 per cent of all of the north’s food and drink going to the UK. The figure which will attract the most speculation, however, is the chunk of sales which are made up of EU exports £1.3 billion - which equates to more than a quarter of the total. With uncertainty in post-referendum UK, questions will rise on whether tariffs may be introduced on goods exported to the EU - possibly leaving Northern Ireland farmers, bakers, fishermen and
other producers out of pocket. Michael Bell, executive director of the Northern Ireland Food and Drink Association, said the figures were impressive given the current economic climate. But he called for safeguards to be put in place to protect the food and drink industry from potential Brexit fallout “It is an impressive set of figures, bearing in mind the challenges the market has faced and the food deflation over the past few years,” he said. “Brexit will undoubtedly be affect agri-food on this island but the exact impact is yet to be determined. "But, considering we are the number one exporter to the UK and vice versa, we need to come to a pragmatic and sensible arrangement so that everybody can continue to prosper.”

Limited edition whiskey $1,200 a bottle Lagavulin has released a limited edition 25-year whiskey to celebrate its 200th Anniversary, priced at $1,200 a bottle. Lagavulin is continuing its 200th birthday celebration with a new present for whisky drinkers. The iconic Islay distillery released an 8 Year whisky earlier this year for its bicentennial and is now debuting a limited-edition 25 Year whisky - bottled at natural cask strength. Good luck though getting your hands on this new Lagavulin: Only 8,000 numbered bottles are being produced and out of that limited production, only 1,200 are allocated for the United States. With a $1,200 price tag, this collectors’ edition whisky was created to pay homage to all the distillery managers Lagavulin has had over the decades. The distillery’s 16 Year Old whisky is what most Scotch drinkers consider the classic Lagavulin, and the limited-
edition 8 Year was intended as a tribute to the 19th-century whisky writer Alfred Barnard. The 8 Year is a lighter version of its older cousin - but the flavour is plenty bold and has the familiar smoky flavour of the peat-heavy whisky. The peaty notes in Islay whiskies mature over time, so younger expressions are typically smokier. Older whiskies, by contrast, tend to be more mellow. On the palate; the 8 Year Old has a big and robust flavour: intense, slightly charred, and somehow a tad bit sweet. The 25 Year is considerably darker than the youthful version. And with its rich body, the 25 Year is a lot more voluptuous and complex on the palate. Its intensity is only faintly peaty, but it’s still got some smoke - which is exactly what you’d expect when you get to blow out 200 candles.
Couples who get drunk together have better relationships, study finds A ten year research project analysing interviews with more than 2,700 couples found women were particularly unhappy in their relationship when they were the only drinker Married couples who have similar drinking habits tend to be happier than couples where only one partner drinks alcohol, researchers have suggested. Analysis of data for a nationally representative sample of heterosexual US couples over the age of 50 found that women in particular were more
dissatisfied in their relationship when they, but not their husbands, were drinkers. Overall, couples had better marriages if both partners drank alcohol or if both partners abstained. “We’re not suggesting that people should drink more or change the way they drink,” said Dr Kira Birditt of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, who studies relationships across adulthood and authored the report. She told Reuters Health: “We’re not sure why this is happening, but it could be that
couples that do more leisure time activities together have better marital quality.” The research, published in Journals of Gerontology B: Psychological Sciences, took into account survey responses from 2,767 married couples participating in a long-term Health and Retirement Survey. Over a period of ten years, all participants sat interviews with researchers and answered questions about their drinking habits - whether they drank, how many days a week they drank
and how many drinks they had each day. The couples were married for an average of 33 years, and around twothirds were in their first marriage. In more than half of the couples studied, both members drank alcohol. While wives were overall less likely to drink alcohol than their husbands, they reported greater dissatisfaction within their marriage when they were the lone drinker within the relationship. Dr Fred Blow, another researcher at the University of Michigan said: “Problem
drinkers are a whole different kettle of fish. Serious heavy drinkers have disruptive relationships with people, particularly their partners. That’s an important issue that should be looked at going forward.” Speaking on the report, Elaine Hindal, Chief Executive of the alcohol education charity Drinkaware said: “Alcohol can also have a negative effect on relationships if not drunk in moderation. Alcohol works on the brain to lower our inhibitions which can lead you to say something in an argument which you may come to regret."

THE WORST HOME BUYING ADVICE PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.
I
f you’re looking to buy a house in Spain and told all of your family and friends your exciting news, you’re bound to have at least one of them say “let me give you some advice.” After all, they’ve been there, done that or they’re “experts” in the real estate market because they’ve watched countless episodes of A Place In The Sun. We all know they’re only trying to be helpful, but just because people have an opinion doesn’t make them well informed experts. So when it comes to buying a house, that helpful advice can easily send you down the wrong path. Here are a few of the worst pieces of home-buying advice people have heard:“WAIT, DON’T BUY YET, HOUSE PRICES ARE GOING DOWN” Why you might hear this: The housing bubble is going to burst again and you’d be better off waiting for prices to go down. Why it’s bad advice: Unfortunately for any Real Estate Investor, no-one can predict
exactly how the market is going to react to any world event. No-one can be spot on when it comes to predicting the future! So when it comes to finding that ideal home, why wait? The time isn’t someday soon…. It’s right now! What your family and friends never tell you is that prices will go up and to buy now before you miss the boat. Live for today, you don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring! “YOU DON’T NEED TO USE A REAL ESTATE AGENT” Why you might hear this: Saving money on agents’ commission, when you can do a deal direct… easy right? Wrong! Why it’s bad advice: In any market, the best way to save money is by using a qualified Real Estate Agent, as they’re the ones that can guide you through the complete buying process, pointing out any potential problems that could cost you big time down the road. They will know how to negotiate the best deal for you and be able to point you in the right direction long after you’ve bought. Priceless! “MAKE A CHEEKY OFFER” Why you might hear this: That’s what they do on TV!
Why it’s bad advice: Making an extremely low offer can start negotiations off on the wrong foot with the seller. You want the best deal but you don’t want to halt negotiations before they even get going. Be reasonable with your offer. Serious buyers and sellers know what homes are worth. Your Real Estate Agent will be able to guide you on making the best offer. “NEVER PAY FULL PRICE” Why you might hear this: Because only losers pay full price, right? wrong! Why it’s bad advice: Full price doesn’t always mean overpriced! However if that perfect home seems a little more than the going rate, and if it has everything you’ve been looking for, then paying full price may be the only way to secure it. Everyone has an opinion in the property market, so thank your family and friends for their heartfelt input however, you can handle it from here with a professional Real Estate Agent on your side. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper.www.homes4u.es

Gluten free make-up Food trends trickling over into the beauty industry is nothing new: in the last year or two alone, we've seen an influx of coconut oil beauty products, avocado face masks, and activated charcoal cleansers and skinclearers. Now, gluten-free is poised to be the next food-based beauty trend. But…do you really need gluten-free makeup? The answer: It depends—but if you haven't been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease the answer is a definitive ‘no’.
For those who have been diagnosed with gluten problems, makeup made without the compound may be useful in one case: lip products, say skin experts. This is because if ingested gluten can produce a rash and even with topical contact, such as on the lips or disrupted skin barrier, this can occur. As for the rest of your makeup bag; even if you're truly wheat-allergic, you're safe. The gluten molecule is very large, so it can’t get through the skin’s barrier layer. Plus,
there are no true healthy or beauty perks to using gluten-free products. In fact, going for gluten-free may do you more harm than good if you have sensitive skin because sometimes the ingredients left out are actually replaced by ingredients that turn out to be allergens, which can then lead to problems. The bottom line - going gluten-free probably won't hurt you, but it won't help you, either.

Zika tied to miscarriage Dutch researchers are reporting a case of miscarriage tied to maternal infection with the mosquito-borne Zika virus. The virus is best known for its links to a devastating fetal birth defect known as microcephaly, where babies are born with smaller-than-expected heads and brains. But Zika's links to miscarriage haven't been clear. The researchers said a 31-year-old Dutch woman lost her baby at 11 weeks' gestation, after contracting Zika on a trip to the South American country of Suriname. Suriname borders Brazil, which has been hit hard by thousands of cases of Zika-linked microcephaly. The report was published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. In it, the researchers described how the pregnant woman became ill with headache, joint pain and rash the day after she returned to the Netherlands after more than three weeks in Suriname. She recovered after six days. But, about two weeks after her symptoms first emerged, doctors found no fetal heartbeat -- indicating a miscarriage -when the woman went in for a routine ultrasound. Traces of Zika virus were found in amniotic fluid, placental tissue, and in the mother's urine and blood. The virus was also found in fetal stem cells, suggesting that Zika "replicates in [these cells] involved in early stage embryo development," the researchers explained. The study can't prove that maternal Zika infection caused the miscarriage, only that there was an association. However, the Dutch team pointed out that traces of Zika virus in blood and fetal tissue were found for at least 21 days, suggesting that the "window" for testing a pregnant woman for the virus may need to be expanded. The current testing window set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is 14 days.

John via email asks: Hi Aunty. I love your column & always find something helpful in it. I have recently upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows10 with no problems, or so I thought. I have just tried to go on Yahoo Messenger to speak to my son and send him some pics but it won’t let me. I tried to email the pics but I get a
CostaBlancaPeople August 2nd - August 8th 2016
message to say its treated as Spam. Please help my son in UK as this only way to chat with him. It was ok on windows 8.1. Aunty Says: Hi John. I’m not sure how this problem could be associated with a Windows upgrade, or whether the two problems are connected, but I will
investigate further. In the meantime have you thought about using the free www.dropbox.com service for transferring & sharing files? It’s fast, safe and easy to sign up, you then simply invite your son via his email address. Spend a few minutes watching some of the brilliant tutorials on YouTube and you’ll wonder how
www.costablancapeople.com
you ever managed without it. Terence via email asks: Hello Aunty. You just published an article about a nasty virus hiding behind an official looking police notice. This happened to me very recently whilst on a river cruise along the Rhein. I suspected that I had picked up a virus when I was trying to access an information website on my android phone, and later I found that the phone had been completely blocked and this very authentic looking message from the German Police appeared telling me that my phone had been locked (which it had) and accusing me of downloading child porn. At first glance I was absolutely horrified, until I got to the bottom of the page, with a request to pay a €200 fine to have my phone unlocked. The only way to get my phone working was to completely reset it. No fun when one is on holiday and need the contacts etc. So all beware, it is a scam, and all they want is all of your bank details, but how to explain it to the wife! Aunty Says: Thanks for the info Terrance. This has to be the lowest kind of scaremongery and really gets my blood boiling, but how & why is this nasty level of deception & fraud still allowed to go on? You’ll feel the weight of the law if you get caught downloading “pirated” films or music but these bandits seem to operate freely whilst actually impersonate the very people that should be hunting them down! I once quoted back in 2006 that “The Internet is like the Wild West without a sheriff” and 10 years later it seems to have gotten a lot worse. Well that’s all folks, email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.co m and I will see what I can do.
Ice-bucket breakthrough Remember the ice bucket challenge? Well, it has just funded a Motor Neurone Disease breakthrough. It is often easy to dismiss viral charity campaigns as “gimmicks” that lack real-world impact, but a breakthrough discovery bankrolled by 2014’s ALS ice bucket challenge may prove that wrong. The ice bucket challenge was created in America by the ALS Association (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) the disease known as Motor Neurone Disease in the UK. The challenge was the summer phenomenon of 2014 in which people dunked a bucket of iced water over their heads in order to solicit donations before nominating others to do the same. Scores of celebrities including Mark Zuckerberg, Anna Wintour, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Robert Downey Jr and hundreds more made videos, but the campaign was criticised by some. One US critic wrote that “for most of the people posting ice bucket videos of themselves on Facebook, Vine, and Instagram, the charity part remains a postscript”, while Time called it “problematic in almost every way”, going on to say that “most of its participants ... didn’t mention
the disease at all. The chance to jump on the latest trend was an end in itself. In fact, the challenge’s structure seems almost inherently offensive to those touched by ALS.” However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and the campaign raised more than $100m (£70m) in a 30-day period, and was able to fully fund a number of research projects. One of these was Project MinE, a large data-driven initiative funded by the ALS Association through ice bucket challenge donations, as well as donations from the organisation's Georgia and New York chapters. The project’s researchers announced last week that they have identified a new gene associated with the disease, which experts say could lead to new treatment possibilities. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurological disorder in which the motor neurons that control muscle function slowly die. The disease can be either sporadic or inherited, and in either case there is currently no cure. “It’s very exciting because it shows everyone who contributed to the ice bucket challenge that their donation had an impact on
the research,” said Brian Frederick, executive vice-president of communications and development at the ALS Association. “The work that Project MinE is doing is really important, and the discovery of this new gene will help us better understand ALS.” The newly discovered gene, NEK1, is only associated with 3 percent of ALS cases, but it is present in both inherited and sporadic forms of the disease, which researchers say gives them a new target for the development of possible treatments. Project MinE has been working to sequence the genomes of 15,000 people with the disease, and the discovery, which was described in a paper published last week in the journal Nature Genetics, involved more than 80 researchers in 11 countries. The discovery was significant, Frederick said, “because it helps us understand what’s triggering this and can help us better find a treatment,” though he added that “it’s still very early in our understanding of this particular gene, and we still have a ways to go with understanding ALS generally.”

New driving statistics released One in ten drivers banned for drink driving are female and men are more likely to lose licence points. Men are more than three times as likely as women to lose points from their driving licences for motoring offences, and nine times more likely to be banned for drink-driving, figures from Spain's General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) show. In the 10 years since the points-based driving licence was introduced in Spain, just-under five million men had committed nearly nine million offences between them, losing 27.5 million points. The points system works differently to that of the UK, where points are added to a licence for offences and this is withdrawn and the driver is banned at 12 points - in Spain, drivers start with 12 points, rising to 15 after three years with a clean record, and these are deducted when offences are committed. Meanwhile, just under two million women have committed 2.73 million offences in the last decade, losing nearly eight million points. In total, this means men’s licence point loss exceeds that of
women 3.4 times over. The most points lost by men were recorded in Madrid over the decade since this type of licence was introduced, at 3.74 million, followed by Barcelona, at 3.08 million, Valencia at 1.28 million and Sevilla at 1.21 million. These four provinces are home to the four largest cities in Spain in that order. For women, Madrid once again tops the list with 1.25 million points lost, followed by just under 965,000 in Barcelona, 330,500 in A Coruña in the north-western region of Galicia, 325,360 in Valencia and 325,730 in Pontevedra, also in Galicia. Of all those drivers who have been banned for exceeding the alcohol limit, nine in 10 are men, the DGT reveals. Accidents Accident statistics show that 47.1 percent of drivers killed in road crashes in the last year had consumed alcohol or drugs beforehand. Of these, two-thirds had been drinking, and of those, three-quarters
were five times over the legal limit of 0.25 grams of alcohol per litre of breath. Nearly a third - 31.64 percent - of drivers who died in road traffic accidents in the last year had been taking drugs, half of whom had been consuming cocaine and 44 percent, cannabis. Another 13.7 percent had taken drugs of opiate extraction, and 2.3 percent had taken speed, ecstasy or similar. The National Institute of Toxicology says the typical profile of a driver killed in a car crash is that of a man aged between 25 and 55 who had consumed both alcohol and drugs. Even pedestrians fatally knocked down were found to have been drinking or on drugs - six in 10 were drunk, four in 10 had taken so-called 'legal high' substances and a third had taken drugs, whilst three quarters of those who had been drinking were five times over the limit for driving. A typical profile of a pedestrian killed is that of a man aged 50 or over who had been consuming alcohol or ‘legal high’ substances, the Institute reveals.

Volkswagen deliveries grow despite emissions scandal Volkswagen has experienced a growth in terms of the number of vehicles it has delivered to customers, despite last year’s multi-country emissions scandal. Deliveries for June grew by 5.1 percent when compared with the same month last year, with the manufacturer delivering 883,400 vehicles to customers. Volkswagen managed to deliver a total of
5.12 million vehicles in the first half of 2016, a 1.5 percent increase over the same period last year. Fred Kappler, head of group sales at Volkswagen, said: “Solid growth overall during the first half-year is partly attributable to the strong performance in June. “The main impetus came from the
regions of Europe and Asia-Pacific. The pleasing result reflects our customers’ trust in our products even in these challenging times.” Despite experiencing growth in the regions of Europe and Asia-Pacific, sales in both North and South American markets were down slightly on the previous year level. It is likely that this dip in deliveries is related to a loss in consumer confidence in the Volkswagen brand following the ‘Dieselgate’ emissions scandal, which affected millions of VW Group cars around the world. North American sales for January to June 2016 fell by 1.6 percent when compared with figures for the same period in 2015. In South America, the decline amounted to 24.7 percent. By brand, all Volkswagen Group manufacturers experienced growth in first-half-year sales in 2016 apart from Volkswagen Passenger Cars and MAN, which witnessed a decline in sales of 0.7 per cent and 1.1 per cent respectively. The scandal occurred when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had a ‘defeat device’ in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested, changing the performance accordingly to improve results. The German car giant has since admitted cheating emissions tests in the US. The EPA's findings cover 482,000 cars in the US only, including the VWmanufactured Audi A3, and the VW models Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat. But VW has admitted that about 11 million cars worldwide, including eight million in Europe, are fitted with the ‘defeat device’. VW has denied the claims, which affect at least 10,000 vehicles.

ugust is here and with it comes even more diverse entertainment. Continuing his “Hot Like Chocolate” tour of Spain, Greg Bannis is appearing at various venues up and down the Costa this week and up to the 3rd Week in August, when he will be off to other countries until 2017. Greg can be seen at Pablo’s International Playa Flamenca, Posh Club La Marina, La Bodegueta Lo Crispin, Hermanos and The Fat Owl Catral this week. If you missed his show with Glenroy Oakley then you won’t know what fun everyone had. Villamartin Plaza’s Casey Shaddock is a whizz at securing some of the best acts around and this week it is the turn of Benidorm Trio “Rise as One” Headed by the luscious Cassi Kennedy the soul, funk and party band will be making their first appearance on Thursday with Cassi as lead vocalist. Having seen and worked Cassi many times, I can vouch that you are going to hear some superb music and belting vocals. Friday sees the all new Black Bull in San Miguel continuing to bring in top acts from all over the country. After the packed house last week with the Phil Collins tribute it is the turn of ex band mate from The Sharp Cuts, guitar vocalist Steve Delaney. Steve now lives in Calpe and his claim to fame is that he has performed in front of Princess Diana and Richard Branson. Also a winner on New Faces, Steve loves to show off his party piece by playing his guitar behind his head. Personally, I never get tired of seeing it. Saturday if you are not off to one of the fiestas, (some I have to admit are not what they have been), you might like go to see some of the many acts that are in your local bars. If you like a laugh, then you will do no better than Justin Sane who returns by popular demand (not sure if it was his or the bars!) to La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin. If you are a Rolling Stones fan, you have the chance to see the best live tribute band The Stoned at Legends. It’s all rock n roll for those going to Disseny in Blue Lagoon with Johnny Scott, a jumpin and a jiving. If you appreciate a golden voice, then you can do no better than the beautiful Rebecca Holt who will be enthralling the Leprechauns customers in Santa Pola del Este. Stay overnight close by and also catch Paul Harris for the Sunday afternoon chill out. So there are no excuses for missing a great night out or 7. Our venues work very hard to make sure that you get what you deserve – only the best. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. To book acts please go to my new site www.jaxlawson.com Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Love life, love music and support your venues and acts. Jax Lawson xx

SIZE MATTERS: Don’t pay MORE for LESS!
to the actual event. Lewis Hamilton won his fourth straight Grand Prix on Sunday to open up a 19 point lead in
the Formula One Championship. Rosberg, in front of his home fans in Germany, started the race on pole and apparently in reverse as his team mate sped past him. Later he was given a five second penalty for driving Max Verstappen off the track. All in all not the best day for Nico Rosberg. Northern Irishman Carl Frampton is the new WBA Featherweight Champion, having beaten Leo Santa Cruz by a majority decision on Saturday night. In victory, Frampton became the first fighter from Northern Ireland to win world titles in different weight classes. England did go on to win the Second Test against Pakistan, meaning the Third Test which starts on Wednesday has plenty riding on it. One man who will not be playing is Ben Stokes. He managed to injure himself for the second time this summer. Stokes
pulled a calf when bowling in Pakistan’s second innings. James Vince was heard breathing a huge sigh of relief as Stokes’ absence almost guarantees him another chance to nick behind playing a expansive cover drive. The Australian Olympic team are not having much luck in Rio, and the Olympics have not even got under way. Whilst running outside when alerted to a fire in their hotel, they returned to find laptops, money and team shirts stolen. Worse than that, the fire alarms had not worked so they
evacuated themselves when they realised the hotel was getting a little hot around the collar. The Rio mayor, who sounds like an ace in public relations, had previously said the Australians were complaining about nothing and “might feel more at home if they installed a kangaroo.” Whether the Brazilian official was bribed to say that is unconfirmed, as are all the other rumours of bribery, corruption and the Rio Olympics. Staying with the Olympics, which I am afraid we have to as it is the next big event this summer, the IOC have been accused of putting politics and business ahead of clean sport by some of sports leading anti-doping groups. It’s almost as if they have genuinely just realised this. Inspired by this classic case of stating the obvious you can now expect football fans to accuse football clubs of not caring about them and only being interested in their money.
Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN Pep has been in place for a few weeks now and City’s head honcho has managed to work out exactly why the team under achieved last season. Pizza. Yes, you can assume that City will not be announcing Pizza Express as their official Pizza Partner anytime soon as Pep has banned all City players from eating the traditional Italian treat. Defender Gael Clichy has spoken on how the Spaniard is revolutionary in the fact that he wants his players to “not be overweight” and “fit.” Big Sam, I hope you are taking notes. This is how those foreign managers roll. That said, pizza did not seem to stop Leicester from winning the title last season. But Ranieri is Italian and is, probably, a big pizza fan. Maybe Pep would allow players to eat paella? It is possible each manager favours food from his native country, though it is unconfirmed that Fergie used to force feed the Class of 92 deepfried Mars bars. Pep likes defenders who aren’t really like defenders at all. He likes them to pass, move, take risks, tease the opposition by dangling clever passes just centimetres way from an interception. Pep has been looking high and low for an Englishman that fits this bill. He has found one, the only problem is he wasn’t good enough for Roy. But you know what they say in football, if he wasn’t good enough for
Roy then he’s good enough for me. Only at a certain price though Everton, only at a certain price. Ronald Koeman, who knows a thing or two about ball playing defenders, has literally used an
indelible marker to scrawl £50m or no deal on the head of John Stones. Pep, not one for getting drawn into silly scribbles, has said “here are 42m of finest Etihad oil pounds – take them or leave them, I don’t care.” A deal is likely to be done because, you know, money talks. You would imagine Pep would then be happy, with a new maestro of his defence to coach and cajole. You would be wrong, for Pep is always looking to improve and he has decided he can actually improve on the constantly injured Vincent Kompany. Again, this is why City are paying him
the big bucks. In line to replace the City captain is none other than Juventus star Bonucci. Seriously, the level of scouting for hidden gems in the world has gone through the roof with these two rumours. Who would have thought of looking in the Juventus defence for a world-class defender? Genius, genius I say. A man who really is in need of a defender is Arsene Wenger. Spys suggested in topsecret intel that David Ospina had been seen playing as a centre back in training. If that isn’t enough to get the Arsenal fans panicking (I mean Arsene wouldn’t would he?) then Plan B is very much to slot Francis Coquelin into the vacant slot. Surely that is akin to punching yourself in the face twice? Coquelin has finally shown he is the man to be the midfield enforcer, so moving him out of that position immediately weakens the side. Putting him in at the back makes the side even weaker? Anyone would think Wenger doesn’t want to win the league ever again. We can only assume he is pretending to be interested in Mustafi. Arsene is far more interested in convincing us he is going to sign a striker. He has a piece of paper in his office that had Vardy, Higuain and Lacazette written in beautiful Gallic handwriting. Now they are firmly scribbled out and the next name on the list is Wissam Ben Yedder of Toulouse shortly followed by Jese of Real Madrid. Don’t hold your breath Gooners, Walcott will hold the fort whilst Giroud
recovers from running around a lot over the summer. Jose is still convinced he has a French shaped hole in his midfield. Schneiderlein is not the man to fill it and Pogba will not be joining unless United and Juve can agree who is to pay his agent something in the region of £25m. Actually, my money is on Ed Woodward to fold first and pay him £30m for the inconvenience. Still, if the obvious does not happen and Pogba remains in Italy then Jose will be looking to add Blaise to his squad, meaning that idiots like me can start working on Blaisin Squad gags. You would have thought Mamdou Sahko might be just a little grateful to be allowed to play football again, having failed a drugs test at the end of last season. King Klopp certainly has that point of view. He sent the French defender back to Liverpool as “he failed to respect the rules.” The rules in question involved missing a plane, missing a meal and missing a training session. If Klopp’s punishments are kicking you out for repetitively missing
things then Adam Lallana must be a worried man.

Blarneystone Golf Society Las Colinas
For our July outing we travelled the short distance to Las Colinas. Las Colinas is always a good choice for golf societies as they look after you so well. In addition to a fantastic golf course you have free access to the range and a free drink after your game (much needed on this occasion). Many thanks as always to Ana and staff. It was the weather rather than the course that was the main challenge on the day. You would think we would be used to this summer weather by now but on a hot humid day with no breeze we were all wilting by the end of the game. The conditions may well have contributed to lower than normal scores but congratulations to those who finished in the top group. We returned to the Blarneystone for the prizegiving and excellent food from Gill, thank you as always Gill. NTP hole 5 - Michael Wynne NTP hole 7 - Steve Morfee NTP hole 10 - Stuart Wilson NTP hole 14 - Stuart Wilson
2s pot was shared by Les Campbell and Janet Bryan Longest drive - Les Campbell Best Guest - Mike Wynne - 34 points 3rd place - Mike Heighway - 25 points c/b 2nd place - Ray Harvey - 26 points 1st place - Janet Bryan - 28 points Our next game is on Thursday 18th August at La Finca, guests welcome. See Eamon or barstaff at the Blarneystone to add your name to the list.
T
pints (all deliberately mentioned in the plural!!) went down very well. The course, set up pretty long, was in good condition, but with slow greens where the longer than normal grass, presumably so to protect from scorching from the sun, seemed to have a nap which not only made reading breaks difficult, but which seemed to send the ball off along unrecognisable channels. Thus many found putting difficult. Three players posted excellent scores, Roy Willing with 71, Brian
he heat and summer vacations, as well as the fact that some don’t like playing a medal competition, saw SMGS’ first relatively low turnout for a very long time, with only 26 members and 2 guests making it. Committee members had arrived early to participate in their regular quarterly meeting, and saw the cooler part of the day, temperatures having risen considerably by the time of the first tee off at 11.10. Of course, by the time everyone had finished many had baked, and ciders, claras and straight
Last week saw the end of the Petanca season and, of course that means only one thing… the giving of the much coveted awards for summer 2016. The Radio Sunshine Summer Petanca League held its presentation at Domino’s Bar, Punta Prima. The awards were presented by Sunshine FM presenter and Costa Blanca People Deputy Editor Mireille Toddington and the presentation was attended by around 80 people. The league, which was founded by the late Bob Hornsey in 2014, has 16 teams and is divided into two divisions,
Red and Blue, and includes teams from across the local area. In the Red Division in third place was XPS 2, second place went to the Pumas and the trophy for the League was awarded to Domino Phoenix in first place. In the Blue Division third place was awarded to Domino McCoys, second place to Los Bandidos and the trophy was scooped by Guardamar, which was so pleased with its award, the team brought the town’s Mayor along with them to celebrate the victory . The league is by invitation only and played on Wednesday mornings under international rules to a four triples and three doubles format. The Winter League begins in October and will consist of three divisions – Red, White and Blue - of eight teams. Thanks goes to Colin and Sarahanne of Domino’s and the staff for their great food and service during the presentation and across the season. For further information call Sue Ward on 966 189 513.
ROCKET’S GOLF SOCIETY ALICANTE GOLF It was one of those hot, hot Spanish Summer Days when the temperatures were higher than some of the point’s scored. Sadly, the turnout was down in numbers due to holidays and injuries, but those who played enjoyed the joys of the ever improving Alicante Golf.

Society, Mar Menor Francy Louise “ 2016 Annual Challenge Thirty-two players turned out to compete for the annual “ Franc y Louise “ Cup ( our home base in Sucina). Weather a little overcast initially, turning hotter and humid later in the day. Greens not in the best of conditions and need some attention but this did not seem to deter most players, as some excellent scores were returned. The Winner of the Franc y Louise Cup for 2016 was Gary Smith on count back from Mo Khan & Wayne Harris who all scored 39 points. Division winners as follows: Division 1 – Gavin Naismith, 36pts. Division 2 – Mo Kham 39pts and Div 3 – Gary Smith 39pts. Nearest the pin prizes went to Hole 2 – Grant Murray, Hole 8 – George Rowe, Hole 14 – Graham Field and Hole 17 – Ian White. Our next game is at La Serena on 16th August. Format will be a Team Game.
El Platino A depleted entry on the 26th July of 12 players was accounted for by Holidays and not the fact that it was the dreaded Monthly Medal, where every shot counts. Nearest the pins : Hole 5, Mike Davies, Hole 6, Henry Mellor. 3rd Place, Handicap 4 - John Wilby, Net 57 points. 2nd Place, Handicap 6, Net 56 points. 1st Place, Handicap 8, Lawrence Wanty, Net 53 points. If anyone would like to join our Society, we play at El Plantio Golf Club on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. We use both courses - the Par 3 nine hole course and the main 18 hole course, so we cater for all abilities. The membership rates are very competitive, so call for more details. Anyone who wishes to play in the Society as a guest or join as a new member, contact Ian Henderson on 966 716 616 or 636 116 230.
San Miguel Golf Society at La Finca 4th Round Bogey’s Shield Mulligan with 70, and President Phil Birtwistle, clearly trying to win his son’s restaurant’s donated prize with a superb 69, throwing in (not literally!!) an eagle at the par 5 11th to boot with an approximate, according to those nearby, 150 metre chip in to the cup. Well played El Presidente! Perhaps early starts and Committee meetings beforehand are good for your game. Maybe we should have more!! Proposers!! The day’s medal competition results, by category and in reverse order, and with only 3 prizes being given in each this week because of the numbers turning out, were the following: Bronze Category: 3rd Chris Ayres (77), 2nd last month’s category winner
here Brian Mulligan (70), and 1st Phil Birtwistle with his aforementioned eagle including net 69. Silver Category: 3rd Matt Newman (75), 2nd Steve Davis (74), and 1st Roy
Willing with a cut inducing net 71. Gold Category: 3rd Mike Frankish
(80), 2nd John Osborne (75), and 1st, Order of Merit leader Steve Higgins with a net 74. Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Mike Jordan (hole 3), Barry Roehrig (6), Darren Temple (13) and Tony Smale (16). The Abacus was won by Norman McBride. The Best Guest prize went to Darren Temple with a respectable 77. Our thanks go to the staff at La Finca golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Barry Roehrig a call on 966 731 033 to find out more about the society and its weekly golf get-togethers.
