Demonstration for free school transport PARENTS, STUDENTS, and opposition politicians attended a demonstration towards the seemingly ever changing policies regarding Free School Buses for Torrevieja. With primary schools starting Thursday and secondary on Friday, the government have been changing their minds about who should be receiving subsidies, as they backtrack from wanting to charge everyone and then give refunds at the end of the school year. On Friday The FAPA Association called for these demonstrations to be held every Friday at 12 noon outside the doors of the City Hall.

The local chapter of the Federation of Associations of Parents (FAPA) held their first planned demonstration at noon last Friday to protest their dissatisfaction against the modification of the procedure of municipal aid for school transport, as announced by the new government team led by Jose Manuel Dolon. About a hundred people seconded this call held at the gates of City Hall, in the Plaza of the Constitution, many carrying banners with slogans that mostly called for subsidised transport.

The protest was called by the provincial president of FAPA Gabriel Miró: Ramon Lopez, as well as the local delegate, Patricia Muñoz, who was pleased by the response to this first concentration. The representative announced that "we will continue fighting for the position that is of the most benefit to parents, to the very end." In this sense FAPA has requested from the government authority permits for other

demonstrations, scheduled for the days 11th, 18th and 25th September, also to place in the Plaza of the Constitution. On Friday the demonstrators shouted different slogans demanding their requests and asking the mayor or some members of the municipal government, come out to the front of City Hall to hear them, but this did not happen. After about one hour of protest and the expected non arrival of anyone from the government team, the protest dissolved peacefully.

The rally was supported by half a dozen members of the Partido Popular Party, among whom was the former Councillor for Education and Youth, Rosario Martinez, who justified her presence, as she's both a mother of two daughters of school age and an educator herself, saying that "before and now, we have always been on

the side of families, but this time we can only express our solidarity." Martinez recalled that the PP has filed a motion on "to solve this conflict."

The PP criticism that the deadline for emergency aid for the school buses is still not resolved. At an earlier Press Conferee Rosario Martínez, said that "we are on the eve of the start of the school and parents do not know anything about the transport system being offered.' Rosario Martinez, noted that the different messages and confusing passage of statements from the municipal government, that apparently was meant to ensure that parents of students who applied for aid to school transport "received different amounts and as such were credited to the reports signed by the mayor."

Martinez asked the Mayor "who is it that is manipulating and misinforming the people" about the school buses and said that although the Government had published a document about emergency aid requests, she noted: "that the application deadline is done." Martinez added: "we are on the eve of the start of the school year and parents do not know anything about transportation," reiterating that the motion filed by the PP on the feasibility of continuing to maintain the payment of aid for the school year "is the solution, but the government has not valued our contribution," even though they have requested that members of the opposition are part of the Government different departmental groups.

Theatre could be closed to correct deficiencies Torrevieja while across town at the Palacio de la Música at 7.00pm the Coro Sol y Sal will perform a free concert.

On the 21st September at 8.00pm in the Virgen del Carmen, the Leigh Orpheus Male Voice Choir will put on a benefit concert for APANEE. Tickets are 5.00€. On the 26th

at 7.30pm in the Palacio de la Música the Coro Nuevo Amanecer perform. Also on the 21st in the Virgen del Carmen at 8.00pm there is a free evening of music with the Intercambio Bandas Juveniles y Asociación Musical Canalense put on by the Unión Musical Torrevejense.

Special Feature: The Pailebote “Pascual Flores” See page 24 IT LOOKS as if Torrevieja's Municipal Theatre may be temporally closed due to lack of the correct building licences and security issues. Last week the Councillor for Culture, Alejandro Blanco, said in a radio interview that the municipal government could close "temporarily" the Municipal Theatre "for security issues that affect the theatre and have so far prevented obtaining its opening license.”

Apparently, the council could just close the theatre, but that

would depend on technical reports, not the opinion or decisions of the Councillor. If necessary, possible events that are normally held in the Municipal Theatre will be moved to another auditorium.

And speaking of culture, or in this case, a lack of it, last week Torrevieja Autumn Cultural Program was announced. Until 27 September in the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen: Photo exhibition "La Torrevieja de hoy" is taking place. On the

13th at the Virgen del Carmen there is a Festival Folklórico, free with invitation from the Centro Asturiano de Torrevieja and on the 18th there at 9.00pm there is a benefit gala for ASIMEPP from the Danza Academia Dharma with tickets priced at 5.00€.

On the 20th everyone is welcome to attend the free performances for celebration of Ukrainian Independence Day at 6.00pm, put on by the Asociación de Ucranianos de

The basement dentist A RUSSIAN woman has been detained for practicing as a dentist despite lacking the required qualifications and for prescribing medicines to patients. The alleged facts occurred in Torrevieja, as reported by the Guardia Civil Guard in a statement.

The events date back to July when a woman of Russian nationality went to a dental clinic in Torrevieja where, where she was served by a woman, who is Spanish but born in Russia. She claimed to also be a doctor and offered the possibility of treatment. The Russian patient was asked if she could visit her home surgery due to the "impossibility", said the patient, to visit the clinic during weekdays.

Following her instructions, the patient went to the home of the alleged doctor, where she made an opening in a molar and then extracted the nerve by applying an anaesthetic, plus she provided a prescription to be taken to the pharmacy

for an antibiotic to prevent infection. Four weeks later, the patient returned to the clinic again complaining of feeling a sharp pain. The dentist allegedly told her she needed a tooth implant and a crown, to which the patient refused.

Other dentists informed her that the work done was wrong and that the work was not done by a professional. They also discovered on the website of the clinic that the alleged 'doctor' was listed as an assistant and dental hygienist who had posed as a doctor, so she decided to lodge a complaint with the Guardia Civil of Torrevieja. Given these facts, an investigation was initiated to determine what happened. On September 1st, a visit was made to the home of the alleged doctor where they found a room in the basement with a professional chair for the practice of dentistry and instruments, syringes and drugs related to the practice.

Guardia Civil officers then proceeded

Ray's Rant

LOCAL POLITICAL commentator Raymond Kearney shared his thoughts with us about the present world political scene. Over to you Ray: “Who decided that our modern countries should NOT get involved in "internal affairs of another sovereign state", allowing despots and extremists to commit genocide without fear of military action against them? This accepted cop-out has allowed genocide in Rwanda, Northern Iraq, Chechnya and Syria to name but a few. Any government that practices genocide inside or outside of its own borders should immediately face sanctions followed by military intervention. Western leaders should not have to have excuses like "weapons of mass destruction" to enter a country practicing genocide, genocide alone is a perfectly good reason.

What has been happening in Syria for more than four years is not only a shame on the Asad regime but on the whole world that has stood by and let it happen. This has been a breeding ground for ISIS or ISIL to spread it's cancerous ideology and to infiltrate Europe with terrorist cells hidden among the emigrants fleeing the genocide in

Syria. ISIS is NOT an unruly underfunded rabble defending their beliefs, they are a highly manipulative, billion dollar Islamic organization with a goal of world domination. They view non-Islamics, as we would rats or mosquitos, good for nothing and an obstacle to progress.

In our generation many conflicts are in Islamic countries where the poor are very poor and the rich rulers hold all the power. Rich Islamic countries seem to do very little to help their brother Muslim countries. There seems to be a policy among Brother Islam Countries to stand back and let Neighbouring Christian Countries provide all the aid and the solutions. At the same time there seems to be a distinct lack of gratitude towards their Christian neighbours who lend a helping hand, but then in Islam, Christian neighbours are tolerated but they are always infidels.

Three points to get us through these difficult times: Islamic nations - help relocate your displaced Muslim brothers.

Western leaders - take military action quickly against genocide.

Non-Islamic people - remember, you are an infidel in the eyes of Muslims.�

August was cooler but warm ALTHOUGH AUGUST was a more bearable month compared with July, August 2015 has been a very warm month with precipitation levels that were just about what is considered normal.

This emerges from data collected by the stations that make up the Torrevieja Mastral Project which computed that during Augusts Torrevieja had an average temperature of 27.9 degrees, a value that lies just over a degree above average.

It should be noted, especially during the first two weeks of the month that temperatures were high, on occasion reaching and even breaking historical records. August 13th, 2015 became the hottest day in August ever, according to data that has been collected about Torrevieja, with a maximum temperature of 38.2°C in the centre of the city. In addition to these high temperatures it must also be emphasized that the town suffered from high humidity and the consequent minimum temperatures, especially during the night, were still in the high 20s for much of the month. Only the expected normal temperature values for the month were recorded in recent days which has keep the average where

it is.

As for rainfall, August this year could be considered a typical month with rainfall between 1 and 5 litres per square meter, depending on the area of the city.

Compared to the average levels around Valencia, according to data provided by the Meteorological Agency, August was a hot and humid month, highlighting the heat during the first fortnight and heavy rains in some parts of the Community which dropped more than 200 litres per square meter within hours.

September brings with it a highly variable time with thundershowers hitting the area during the first weekend, with up to 70 litres of water falling per square metre in Aguas Neuvas during the first weekend. In addition, a drop in temperatures, both maximum and minimum are expected.

A man, a piano ... and art Local celebs turn out for Elche Childrens Home

A MAGNIFICENT, solo, piano concert, was performed last week in the main hall of the Casino of Torrevieja, by Francisco Lucas. Franciso was born in Orihuela in 1990 and began his studies there, studying from the age of eight at the Conservatory of Orihuela and moving in 2010 to the Conservatory of Murcia "Manuel Massotti" where he graduated with flying colours.

Francisco has performed many concerts throughout Spain and Europe and last week's performance was one of the best seen in the Casino, which

left more than one member of the audience "open mouthed" with his technique, proficiency and style.The program included "Sonata in C Major"

by Haydn with its three movements Allegro; Adago and Allegro Molto.

Then he offered "Chaconne in D minor"

by JS Bach. In the second part he showcased the "Suite" Goyescas of Granados and his movements "Women and the Nightingale"; "Love and death" and "Wimp". A fabulous show and already plans are afoot to bring him back.

New walkway between the Los Náufragos and Ferris

A NEW walkway, boardwalk style, is to be erected between Los Náufragos and Cala Ferris as part of the compensation works for the construction of the desalination plant. Last week Torrevieja's Government discussed obtaining the authorisation for land occupation of a space designated as in the maritime domain. This in the area between the Los

Náufragos and urbanization Mar Azul, near Cala Ferris, for the construction of the announced crosswalk.

The spokesperson of the Government, Fanny Serrano, explained that the path is part of state investments made as compensation for the construction of the desalination plant. The grant, approved by the Ministry of Environment last June 8th, is for 30 years and Serrano said that "although the project was passed several years ago they had forgotten to request the necessary authorization to enable them to start work."

Many local acts are turning out for a massive charity event in aid of the Children’s home in Elche in Entrenaranjos on Saturday 19th September. The idea came about as local celeb Stevie Spit was at a gig and having a laugh with someone in the audience, who threw him a euro.

Stevie then said he would donate the euro to the Children’s Home and explained to the crowd that there was no funding for these kids, they relied on donations. Before he knew it someone passed a hat round and they collected another €257 euros that night.

It’s a cause close to Stevie Spit’s heart.

The Home was originally part-funded by Central Government and donations from La Fundación Aros Del Castillo but during the crisis Government funding reduced and eventually ceased altogether, leaving them totally reliant on the Foundation and the Charity. Neither staff nor essential items like electricity bills got paid making donations from the Charity crucial. Whilst, thankfully, the Home is now able to pay most of their running costs there's still little spare money, so the Charity now aims to provide those important extras that our own children take for granted like birthday presents, visits from the Three Kings, trips to the cinema and McDonalds.

Touched by the generosity of the people there that night, The Inn at The Green are opening their doors and the

Torrevieja's sinking image SINCE THE new Pentapartido government took over rule in Torrevieja, it can hardly be said that the tourist image of the city has improved. Concerts have been cancelled. The summer parade cancelled. Inacurate information given out about the cruise ship arrival. Lack

of information about La Vuelta. Closure of various clubs and fairground activities during the height of summer.

And the list goes on according to Partido Popular deputy spokesman Joaquín Albaladejo.

Joaquín Albaladejo says the pentapartito is providing a sinking image of the town hall and only they are responsible for this. The councilman and deputy spokesman of the PP in the City of Torrevieja, Joaquín Albaladejo, said last week that in almost 100 days, the pentapartito has damaged the image of the city and as the entity in charge, they hold responsibility for the sinking image of Torrevieja. Albaladejo says that it's the irresponsibility of the Government of Torrevieja to not cover the financial

whole street in front to raise money. They have already donated prizes for a huge raffle themselves as have local people and businesses, one guy donating 50€ and a few vodka bottles as we spoke! Nicky and Chris of the Inn are also in discussions with the brewery to enable them to make a contribution as well as promising a percentage of their takings on the day.

They are inviting any stall holders to get in touch that might want to set up on the street for the event.

Stevie Spit will be the host as well as performing a spot. Stevie will also later team up with Kylie Burgazzi, and Nikki G to perform their Broadway Babe show after their respective solo spots. Tommy ‘Meet Laaf’ Taylor will make his first appearance in the area, with Tony Francis, JJ Soulman, Dave The Hat and That’s Life! also appearing on the day. Robert Bonovox will be taking to the boards and well-known local act Suzy G who has not been able to sing for some weeks now after her vocal chords were damaged in an attack on her in Benidorm, is going to make this her comeback event. JB Brass Band will also be performing, helping the day to really go with a bang.

The fun will start at midday on Saturday 19th September with Elche Children’s Home staff and volunteers in attendance.

Anyone wishing to donate towards the raffle or organise a stall should contact Nicky or Chris on 634 887 889.

commitments of the city, due to various business over the last term in office. This bad image is going to have an effect and be expensive for all torrevejenses in the long run.

Albaladejo regrets the diabolical situation where at present, all municipal technicians, who in their capacity as economic operators of services to the city will not be paid. But at the same time, they have to pay all their staff and business expenses for providing a services to the city of Torrevieja. Joaquín Albaladejo added: “this is a government that is genetically prepared to do damage to the town of Torrevieja, led by a mayor whose greatest merit was speaking on 'ill' on national television of his city. And he is still the only mayor in all of Spain to say bad things about the city he now controls. He has given his approval of invoices by voting in favour with all his councillors of his government team, then allows the Councillor for Finance and Deputy Mayor, José Hurtado, to lie to reporters at a press conference saying they have to pay these bills and then in the council meeting they vote the opposite.” Finally, Albaladejo said that the chaos and inconsistency of Jose Manuel Dolon and his government, is at the forefront of the lack of political leadership of the City of Torrevieja.

Academy A +: different and unique MANY INTERNATIONAL students who have lived the majority of their lives in Spain, are as comfortable with being taught in Spanish as they are in English. Those bilingual students now have another option for their education. In June 2014, Antonio Flores Rivera, came up with the idea for 'Academia A +'. The idea concept came as a result of demands that the student sector in the city lacks a school that specificity focuses on expanding or enhancing knowledge for future education or training.

As symbolises by the logo of the academy (A + means the chart American qualifications which in Spain is "honours") 'Academy A +' has facilities and a team of highly qualified teaching staff with experience in the employment and educational system with the objective that students get the most out of time spent in class.

What distinguishes Academy A + with the rest of the academies of the town?

1. Teachers: The Academy has a team of professionals led by Antonio Flores who are all graduates and hold specific qualifications for demanding subjects.

2. Work method; Without underestimating other professionals, Antonio Flores - Manager Academy A + - is in favour of using a completely opposite approach to that used by the rest of the schools in the town, as it believes that grouping students from different courses, subjects, levels and agendas, They believe the normal system is wrong because students lose interest and this causes a lot of frustration among both students and parents if they are not reaching the desired objectives.

Therefore their groups do not exceed six students who always study the same subject and course is taught to each of them.

He added: “It should seem easy to understand that it may not be as effective for teachers to explain a concept or resolve a doubt a student may have studying 2nd Bachelor of Mathematics while at the same time a student of 4th year of Language is in the same class.

However, in today's typical Spanish system, students often suffer since they do not receive the explanation or the attention a Student deserves, and which can result in an unmotivated student: "and that is unacceptable in

Academy A +” The Academy A + schedule is adapted to the student's needs, even giving classes on weekends, holidays or time off, normally not possible for the rest of the academies.

3. Location: In the heart of the city, many students can have access to their facilities by walking, bike or scooter, without forgetting that there is a bus stop just 100 meters away. For those who want to travel by car, they have arranged parking for students (upon request).

4. Facilities: All the facilities have been designed to not only fulfil current regulations required by this type of establishment but are designed for maximum performance, as it is considered very important that students can be comfortable and learning in ideal conditions.

A + Academy is also the only school of Torrevieja "Without Barriers", as it has adapted its facilities to the current regulations for the disabled. The new classrooms are all fully air conditioned and soundproofed with lighting and appropriate comfortable seating. Each student has a spacious work station with ergonomic chairs. The centre has 3 classrooms for use as required by the working group: • A first classroom with multimedia facilities and interactive whiteboard.

• A second classroom for group work.

• A third classroom for conferences, courses and briefings.

The common areas are designed for proper entry and exit of students to the classroom, and there is a relaxation area to access the classes, which is equipped with natural cold bottled water and coffee service and Tea. The Academy has a library of more than 200 volumes available to students for consultation. Academy A + teaches students from ESO and Bachiller, although their specialty are university subjects, The Academy is unique in Torrevieja because it is staffed to meet the diverse

technical subjects taught in schools This allows the student to save on travel expenses to other cities that can now be avoided and to use the valuable saved time for studying.

Antonio Flores says that after years of hard work and a daily struggle to meet the needs of each student, who has opted for to study at the centre, all of them have achieved the study goals, which leaves him with a feeling of satisfaction. He invites anyone who may be interested in visiting their facilities to please contact him for all the information you will need on prices, schedules, courses or any other concerns of both the parents and the students of the city. Also remember that all young people who have the Youth Card get a discount on their services. This is available from the CIAJ in Torrevieja.

La Coruña Rally Crash Leaves Six Dead Six people have been killed and sixteen others injured after a racing car flew off the track and crashed into spectators during a high-speed rally in Spain.

Two pregnant women and an eight-year-old child have both been confirmed amongst the fatalities, with six of those wounded in hospital with serious injuries.

The victims were struck by the vehicle when its driver lost control after negotiating a bend during the La Coruña‬ Rally, in the Spanish municipality of Carral in the north west of the country.

The horrific accident happened at around 8pm local time this evening as thousands watched on from the side of the road.

Witnesses described seeing the racing car fly off the dirt track and into the crowd as it attempted to take a bend at high-speed.

The car - a Peugeot 206 with the number 39 on its door - is believed to have smashed through a group of

around 20 spectators.

There were no safety barriers in place to separate the spectators and the track.

Spanish media reports that it was being driven by local man Sergio Tabeayo Sande, nicknamed Tisi, who was in the car with copilot Luis Miguel Prego.

Organisers immediately suspended the race - in which more than 100 participants were competing - in the wake of the incident.

Among the casualties confirmed so far are four women and two men, one of whom was a child aged eight.

Three of the dead are thought to be from Cambre, near to the scene of the tragedy, with one of the pregnant women said to have been killed understood to be nine months pregnant.

Her partner was also reported to have died.

Spanish Police have warned that the death toll is expected to rise.

At least 16 people were injured and are being treated in the nearby La Coruña University Hospital Complex.

They include four children, a police spokeswoman confirmed.

The cause of the accident is being investigated, with police and ambulance services still at the scene supporting the victims and their families.

Fans attending the race shared news of the horror on Twitter.

Monica Carrillo tweeted: 'Two

dead and several injured in a rally in Coruña in the last minute.'

Another witness suggested that 'there may be two dead and a dozen injured.'

Eyewitnesses told Spain's Ideal news site the scene was 'chaotic'.

The race was organised by the Escuderia La Coruña group, who host 11 high-speed contests a year.

Their inaugural event was held in 1982.

Escuderia La Coruña tonight uploaded an image of a black ribbon to their Facebook page in honour of those who lost their lives in today's crash.

Alongside it, they wrote: 'For the victims of the accident today in Carral.'

The Toyota Breogán racing team, who were taking part in the race, also paid their own tribute.

In an online post, they said: 'We send our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of the Rally Coruña accident which occurred this afternoon.'

Spanish police arrested teenager for 'recruiting other women to fight for ISIS in Syria'

These dramatic pictures show the moment a teenager wearing a burqa was paraded down a Spanish street after being arrested for allegedly recruiting other women to fight for ISIS in Syria.

The 18-year-old Moroccan, clad in the full-length Islamic robe and veil, was led down the crowded road in Gandia, near Valencia, after being detained by counter-terror police.

Dozens of locals watched as armed officers stood guard outside the young woman's door, while other policemen

wore balaclavas as they carried away boxes of evidence from inside.

Police arrested her on suspicion of using the internet to recruit other women to join ISIS. At the time of her arrest, the woman 'was making the last preparations for her journey' to Syria, a police statement said.

She was the latest in a series of suspected ISIS sympathisers detained in Spain in the last year, with another woman arrested on the island of Lanzarote for allegedly recruiting women

and girls in July.

More than 100 people from Spain are thought to have joined jihadist fighters in Iraq and Syria, with the authorities fearing that some could return to Europe to launch attacks.

In March 2004, Al-Qaeda inspired bombers blew up four packed commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people.

More than 20 people, including a number of Moroccans, were convicted of that attack.

Police said the woman arrested

Saturday was Moroccan but had lived in Spain for years.

Officers arrested her 'for suspected links with jihadist terrorist activities,' a statement from the Guardia Civil said.

The statement continued: She spread jihadist ideology on the Internet, justifying terrorist acts and spreading videos that glorified executions of people.

'She had focussed her online activity on recruiting women to go and swell the ranks of Daesh (ISIS).'

Father offers €5,000 Police arrest organiser of migrant-smuggling ring to find job for son More than 20 companies have responded after a pensioner in Zaragoza, in north-east Spain, placed an advert in the local paper offering €5,000 (£3,700) to anyone who would give his 39-year-old son a job.

The ad in the Heraldo de Aragón read: “Pensioner offers €5,000 to a firm that will employ his unemployed son who is qualified, responsible, hardworking and has a good professional record.”

The pensioner, a retired lawyer who has chosen to remain anonymous, said his son, who has a five-year-old child, had had a series of temporary contracts, the last of which expired in September last year.

He said he didn’t mind if the responses were concrete job offers or simply opportunities – anything to get his son out of the hole he was in. He said none of the 20 firms that had called had asked about the money, only about his son’s CV. The pensioner hadn’t consulted his son before placing the ad, and he told El País that when his son found out “he was very angry with me and was afraid that someone in Zaragoza would realise who he was. He said it was shameful. But after a long chat he told me I was the best father in the world.”

Unemployment in Spain is around 23%, equating to about five million people out of work, and 134,000 jobs

were lost in August. Figures for September will be worse when they take in the 333,107 people whose temporary contracts – mainly in the tourism and other service sectors – expired last Monday, the last day of August. These were the worst job losses in a single day on record.

Pensioners have been propping up three generations during Spain’s doubledip recession. A report by the Comisiones Obreras trade union revealed that in 2014 an old-age pension was the only income in 20% of households, as many Spaniards had been forced to move back into their parents’ or grandparents’ homes to save money.

“Before, we pensioners helped out with our grandchildren, but now unfortunately we have to look after our children as well,” the Zaragoza pensioner said, adding that his other four children did not earn enough to make ends meet.

Spanish police have arrested the suspected organiser of a ring smuggling migrants from Western Sahara to the Canary Islands and the captain of a trafficking boat from among a group of migrants recently arrived in the islands.

The 40-year-old Senegalese man was part of a trafficking organisation based in Laayoune in the disputed territory of Western Sahara that chartered boats to take migrants to the Spanish islands which lie off the coast, police said.

Migrant arrivals in the Canary Islands, which peaked at 32,000 in 2006, have fallen sharply due to stronger interception measures and Spanish return agreements with Mauritania and Senegal but some migrants still attempt the voyage.

A boat containing about 40 African migrants including a toddler girl landed in Gran Canaria on Tuesday.

Spain is one destination for the hundreds of thousands of refugees from wars in the Middle East, along with economic migrants fleeing poverty in

Africa and Asia, who have braved the Mediterranean Sea and land routes to reach the European Union.

Police said the alleged organiser, who was not named, hid migrants in safe houses in Western Sahara and then charged them between 800 and 1,500 euros (US$890 and US$1,670) for the dangerous voyage to the Canary Islands, which could take up to 11 days.

In July, he joined 33 other migrants on one of his gang's boats for the trip to the Canaries, a police statement said.

Some of the passengers on the boat were Nigerian women who had been sent to Spain for sexual exploitation, it said.

On arrival in the Canaries, the organiser and the captain of a migrant boat, a 24-year-old Senegalese man, mingled with migrants in a holding camp, passing themselves off as ordinary migrants, the police said.

Police investigations revealed his identity after he gave a false name. Then, other migrants at the holding camp, who had been intimidated into silence, pointed out the boat captain, who was also arrested, the police said.

The police said the traffickers sometimes beat migrants to make them get on the ramshackle boats and that eight people had died on another of the organisation's vessels before Spanish Sea Rescue saved the 13 survivors.

Convict used prison leave to set up record-sized marijuana plantation

An inmate serving time in a Murcia penitentiary used his time out on temporary release to set up the largest marijuana plantation ever discovered on European soil.

P. S. A., a 47-year-old resident of the town of Pozo Cañada, Albacete province, had built a thriving business with a Lithuanian colleague in just three months, according to Civil Guard sources.

In May, P. S. A. used his furloughs from prison to purchase 30,000 square meters of land in an olive grove in Villarrobledo (Albacete). Then he obtained modified seeds that produce hemp plants no taller than 40 centimeters and that are notable for their high yield.

The venture did so well that the partners soon had 75,000 plants and 155 kilograms of marijuana packed and ready to go out on the market.

Sources familiar with the investigation said the final destination of the drug was Barcelona.

Six people have been arrested in connection with Operation Casamonte, including the Lithuanian citizen G. S, 59., who lived on the premises and acted as the manager. Two other

suspects are residents of a nearby village and three are Moroccan nationals who took care of the crops using state-of-the-art irrigation technology.

The ringleader was already serving time at the Murcia II prison for drug-trafficking offenses.

The merchandise was concealed inside flour sacks and taken out in trucks. Investigators are now trying to find the distribution channels and the origin of the seeds.

This is the first time that a marijuana plantation has been discovered in an olive grove, as they are typically concealed among corn fields. But the unusually short plants looked like grass to the police helicopters, while the telltale smell had been masked with piles of fertilizer and trash placed strategically along the perimeter of the plantation, said investigators.

Security measures were also in place within the grounds: the site had only one entrance, and there were several lookout points from which gang members could detect anyone approaching.

Meanwhile, the farmhouse had been converted into a clandestine lab where the plants were dried and processed. The Civil Guard also found opium, hashish and a gun inside the premises.

Spanish News 11 Summer deaths on Spanish roads Hordes of seized marijuana rise for first time since 2006 makes Spanish police 'dizzy'

www.coastridersl.com www.coastrider.net CoastRider - Edition 470 563 - March September 5th 2013 8th 2015

The total death toll from road accidents this summer came in at 225 people, five more than last year, according to figures released by Spain’ DGT traffic authority.

The number bucks a downward trend that began in 2006, when 542 people lost their lives on the road.

Overall, however, road deaths have dropped drastically in Spain since the 1980s. In 1989, 1,378 people died in crashes even though there were significantly fewer vehicles on the roads at the time.

The construction of highways in recent decades has contributed to this fall. Most of the deaths continue to occur on secondary roads, with one lane per traffic direction.

Asked about the reason for the slight rise in fatalities this summer, DGT director general María Seguí Gómez noted that there was also a rise in the number of road journeys.

There were 81 million long-distance trips made in July and August of this year,

a 3.4-percent rise from the same period in 2014.

Around 27 percent of deaths occurred on road stretches that the DGT had already identified as being particularly dangerous.

Ageing vehicles may have played a role as well, said Seguí. In 2014, motor vehicles involved in fatal crashes were 10.2 years old on average, while this year the average was 11.7 years.

Seguí also underscored that “unbelievable as it may sound” in this day and age, 30 of the victims who died in cars or vans were not wearing a seat belt.

And in the case of motorcycles and scooters, four of them were not wearing a safety helmet. Two cyclists out of the five who died this summer were also traveling without any head protection.

Driving under the influence was another cause of traffic deaths, said the DGT chief. During a seven-day campaign in August, 478 drivers tested positive for drugs, representing 34.8 percent of all tests.

Huge stashes of seized marijuana are piling up at police stations across Spain, leaving officers dizzy and feeling like "they smoked something illegal", a police union said Thursday.

The problem is concentrated in rural areas with small police stations that are responsible for vast stretches of farmland where regular seizures of illegal marijuana are made in summer, according to Catalan police union USPAC. The police station in Olot, a town of 34,000 residents in the north eastern province of Girona, has 300-4000 marijuana plants in its garage, said USPAC spokesman Josep Miquel Milagros.

"At other police stations it is being stored in underground parking, even in offices," he added.

Police stations are required to hold on

to the seized marijuana until they get a court order to destroy it, which can sometimes take over 30 days.

The smell of marijuana is so strong that police officers "have the feeling of being under the effects of having smoked something illegal," the spokesman said.

"The odour is intolerable. There have been cases of officers who have had to leave before their shift was over because their head hurt and they were feeling dizzy," he added.

"Imagine the image this gives when people come to a station to file a complaint for theft, and they find this smell."

To solve the problem the union wants the government to supply stations with containers that can be hermitically sealed to store the marijuana outside of police buildings.

Painting your mobile Immerse Virtual Reality

Headset

A TEAM of researchers from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, has developed a reflective paint that keeps the object at room temperature and even below it, and could extend the life of smartphones.

In recent years, large manufacturers are making water resistance the hallmark of its high-end products.

However, the sun is still an unbeatable enemy of electronic devices, as it accelerates the deterioration and corrosion of its components.

Overheating of the surfaces of objects, whether it be a mobile phone or a car, makes age prematurely. The paint developed by these researchers reflects sunlight and repels heat passively even on metal surfaces, thus

helping to maintain the temperature of objects covering. The new paint has almost completely crystallized inorganic silicate-based composition, which makes it more durable than traditional paintings degrade under sunlight exposure and end yellowing.

On the other hand, is also waterproof (once pulverized and dried), does not harm the environment and is sufficiently elastic to accommodate the expansion of the materials without cracking. Although the painting was intended for covering military vessels, its creators expected to spread to other objects such as children's toys, vehicles, roofs and what interests us most: technology.

play immersive games or you're just looking for a quick departure from our own tedious reality – there's something for everyone.

Just load up your chosen piece of virtual content, slot your smartphone into the rugged plastic enclosure, put it up to your eyes then adjust the lenses and comfortable head straps to your liking. It's never been easier (or more affordable) to explore these vivid new environments from the comfort of your living â‚Ź40.89 http://www.firebox.com You've probably seen countless videos on the internet of people wearing the much-lauded Oculus Rift, tripping out in digital worlds and generally loving life.

Not only is this revolutionary device unavailable until 2016, but you'll probably have to sell a number of vital organs just to be able to buy it. Well, feast your eyes on (and indeed, in) the Immerse Virtual Reality Headset – a new and affordable foray into the breathtaking world of virtual reality.

Because it utilises your smartphone, it's compatible with hundreds of free and inexpensive VR apps on the Play Store and App Store. So whether you want to watch 3D movies, explore new worlds,

room.

Even if you don't intend to buy it for yourself, it's definitely just as amusing to watch someone else experience it.

Back Stage with Tommy ‘Meet Laaf’ Taylor

Artists Direct-Spain went backstage to talk to Tommy ‘Meet Laaf’ Taylor. Tommy is moving to the Torrevieja area in September so we thought we would find out about this charismatic character and let the good folks of Costa Blanca know what they were in for.

Tommy is no shy retiring type; he is Scottish, drives a hearse, and takes a parrot for a daily walk. He lives in a self-sufficient motor home with his wife Fiona who is a carer/hairdresser and he does a crazy Meat Loaf comedy tribute. Reading the reviews, the show IS something completely different, even people who don’t like Meat Loaf love his shows. Once seen never forgotten He has been in entertainment all of his life as a quick inspection of his website reveals a colourfully long history, from owning and running 5 disco units through to playing in a number of bands such as The Rejects and even twice being a support act to The Skids so music is very much in his blood. He sees his current show as just a natural progression and he now gets to sing the songs he loves and… “Do things normal people get put in jail for” as he says as he breaks into crazy laughter.

We wondered what this character might do if he had not found his feet in the entertainment business.

“Politician” was not a predictable answer! “I did run many years back in my Tommy Sideburn days. So many things I would like to change, we as a society have lost the plot, too many rules and too many masters. Not enough freedom”.

As a high energy entertainer, Tommy’s biggest influences were Johnny Lydon and Jim Steinman. He loves that Johnny turns his anger into energy. So with all that energy does Tommy ever get stage fright? Never, I cannot afford to – he says with passion. “If you have seen my show you would know why. I take no prisoners, or excuses. My show may be a tribute, but it is original comedy every time, I have no gags, if the audience is rubbish then I am rubbish, they are my material, so by original I mean that Meat Loaf could not be me, but I can be him.

You would think that with all those original comedy shows there surely must be one moment that sticks out in his memory but Tommy tells us that most nights are special to him. He puts on the same high energy show

for a small crowd as for a large one. With a smaller crowd, naturally he has less ammunition for his show so he has to work harder but is adamant that most nights are his best nights. Hmmm ok so if all is so good – is there a bad moment that springs to mind? “An unresponsive Audience, after all it’s the crowd that make the show, no matter how good you are if the audience are not up for it you’re on to a loser “.

Tommy has a little piece of advice for budding entertainers : “Don’t join a band go solo, you CAN do it then you will never be let down or have to conform to suit others who are only out for themselves.

6 ways to look younger today Scrub up with our winning ways to look younger today - from investing in a new pair of denim jeans to switching to contact lenses.

Check your smile Nothing says ‘old age’ more like a set of teeth that look they’ve been through a war. Stained teeth caused by the foods you eat, or smoking, as well as wear and tear can add years to your face. What’s more, as you age, you lose bone mass in your jaw and that can gradually cause teeth to crowd together, leaving you with crooked and uneven rows. That unevenness can also increase your likelihood of gum disease and tooth decay because parts of the tooth are more difficult to clean, which may also trigger receding gums.

Use a gentle whitening toothpaste or invest in a whitening session with your nearest dental practise.

Avoid staining drinks such as red wine and tea, and quit cigarettes, which not only stain but dry out your mouth making you more prone to gum disease. If you’re keen, ask your dentist about options to straighten your teeth, too. Many offer braces that can be worn at night that will gently put your teeth back in order.

The bonus: Not only will you look younger, you’ll instantly look more kissable.

Buy a new pair of jeans Older men tend to avoid denim, perhaps because of an association with work clothes, but a well-fitting pair of jeans will instantly knock 10 years off you. While suit trousers may be what you’re used to, they’re intended to be worn – and look best as – part of a suit, something you probably don’t put on every day. The fact that your shoulders may not be quite as square as they were and that your middle may have extended over the years also means that it’s more difficult to carry off a pair of suit trousers with style.

Jeans can be smart or casual, depending on the colour of the denim, the cut and the stitching. Opt for darker colours and straight leg if you’re going for a smarter look but above all, get a good fit. That means not too tight around your middle (you want to avoid strapping your belly in with your belt and having it hang over the top) but also not saggy around the bottom.

The bonus: Jeans last for years so if you invest in a pair (or two) that you like, you can enjoy looking younger for years to come.

Trim your hair Your bushy brows may have come across as sexy when they were dark and you had hair on your head, but you need to tame those wild things if you want to look younger. As you age your hair growth changes, which can mean getting hair in places you’d rather not (ears, nose, for example) and losing it in places you’d like to keep it (head).

Invest in a nose and ear hair trimmer and keep hair at a length that means it’s not visible outside your nose. You need the hairs inside your nostrils to help keep you healthy by trapping dirt and even filtering out viruses.

Regularly trim any excessively long eyebrow hairs too.

The bonus: Your nose hairs won’t freeze in winter.

Scrub your face It may have been more than half a century since the last time your mother told you to wash your face properly but it’s time to take her advice on board! Splashing your face with soap and water won’t remove the dead skin cells that make your skin look dull and lifeless, you need to exfoliate. That’s something you can do with a special exfoliating wash or you can simply use a good quality sponge or even a flannel. Be sure to moisturise afterwards, too. This will help keep your skin supple and

less prone to wrinkles.

The bonus: Your skin will feel softer too and infinitely more strokable.

Slap on the sunscreen The sun’s rays cause wrinkles and dry out your skin, as well as trigger age spots, but more importantly, if you don’t take care you might get skin cancer. Men are far less likely to use sunscreen than women, but they are just as likely to get skin cancer and, in fact, because men are generally less observant when it comes to their own skin, they’re more likely not to notice a growth until it has progressed.

You don’t need to give up a tan completely but use a good-level sunscreen (30 SPF for example) to protect yourself from the most harmful rays and stay out of the sun when it’s at its hottest.

The bonus: Sunscreens usually contain moisturising agents too, so you’ll get softer, smoother skin at the same time.

Adjust your view Your glasses may have given you an intellectual look when you were younger but now they might be making you look older than your years. Maybe it’s the way you tend to peer over the top of them or the fact you haven’t changed the design in years, but generally glasses don’t help you look any younger. This is especially true if you’re short-sighted as the lenses can make your eyes seem smaller, and big eyes (think Disney characters!) suggest youth.

Try contact lenses if you can. Not only will they help make you look younger, you’ll also save time as you won’t leave them in odd places where you can’t find them. If your glasses are for specific activities only, invest in a new pair and choose a style that will help make you look younger. Choose styles with thin frames and softer edges, to reduce their impact on your face (look at Richard Gere or Kenneth Branagh for inspiration) and avoid lenses that are too big as these will overpower your face.

The bonus: A new pair of glasses means you can use the old pair as spares, so you’ll always have some to hand when you need them.

aspirin and ibuprofen?

Paracetamol Adult dose of paracetamol: 500mg -1g every four to six hours, maximum 4g daily.

What is paracetamol? Paracetamol is a non-opioid (or non-narcotic) painkiller.

When should you take paracetamol? Paracetamol is used to ease mild to moderate pain from headaches, toothache, muscle and joint pains and period pains.

What are the dangers of taking paracetamol?

Paracetamol side-effects are rare if you do not take more than the maximum recommended dose. However, it can be very dangerous if you take an overdose.

Taking paracetamol with other medications? It is usually safe to take paracetamol with other medications but check with your doctor or pharmacist if you suffer from liver or kidney problems. And be careful if you're taking other non-prescription remedies, such as cold treatments, which may also contain paracetamol.

Aspirin Adult dose of aspirin: 300-900 mg every four to six hours, maximum 4g daily.

What is aspirin? Aspirin belongs to the group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

When should you take aspirin? Aspirin can be used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by rheumatic and

muscular pain, sprains, backache, headache, sore throat, toothache and period pain. It can also be used to treat flu-like symptoms and reduce fever in adults. In low doses, it can be used to thin the blood.

What are the dangers of taking aspirin? Some medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, asthma, stomach ulcers, and liver and kidney disease, could make aspirin a bad choice for you.

Taking aspirin with other medications? Aspirin can mix badly with other medicines, vitamins, herbals, or dietary supplements. People who are already using a prescribed medicine to thin the blood should talk to a health professional before using aspirin, even occasionally.

Ibuprofen Adult dose of ibuprofen: 1200 - 1800 mg daily in three to four divided doses, preferably after food. Maximum daily dose 2400mg.

What is ibuprofen? Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug.

When should you take ibuprofen? Ibuprofen can be used to relieve pain and inflammation caused by rheumatic and muscular pain, headaches, backache, and period pain. It can also be used to relieve cold and 'flu-like' symptoms.

What are the dangers of taking ibuprofen? Ibuprofen may cause drowsiness and dizziness.

Taking ibuprofen with other medications? Ibuprofen can interact with medications, including herbal and complementary preparations. Check with your pharmacist before taking it if you have blood clotting problems, peptic ulcers, kidney or heart problems.

Know your painkillers

Aspirin, ibuprofen and paracetamol - what are the differences between these three painkillers? A third of UK adults don't know, says a survey.

The survey involving over 1,000 people was carried out by Panadol to coincide with Ask About Medicines Week, a campaign that aims to encourage all of us to ask more questions about medicines as we get older.

One in three people said that they would take the first available medicine. Women were more likely to make an informed choice, with 39 percent thinking about which medicine to take compared with only 27 percent of men.

Most people knew that some painkillers should be avoided for individuals with certain medical conditions but 40 percent had no idea what these painkillers were.

What are the differences between paracetamol,

Ten ways to trick yourself slimmer A healthy balanced diet and regular exercise hold the key to staying in shape but there are plenty of little tricks you can try to help yourself.

1. Don't shop before dinner Feeling hungry? Steer clear of the supermarket!

People who haven't eaten all afternoon choose more unhealthy, high-calorie foods than those who eat before shopping, says a study from Cornell University. Even if it's inconvenient to buy your groceries after lunch, at least aim to write your shopping list when you're not feeling famished – and vow to stick to it. That way, you're less likely to arrive at the checkout with a trolley full of crisps and biscuits.

2. Don't eat in front of the TV Watching TV while you have your dinner can be an unhealthy distraction – and means you're more inclined to reach for a sugary snack afterwards. Diners who concentrate on their meal - and focus closely on the flavour, texture and appearance of the food – tend to feel more satisfied, according to research from the University of Birmingham.

3. Use smaller serving spoons It's human nature to pile up your serving spoon to capacity – regardless of how much food you actually intend to eat. One US study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that people

served themselves 14.5 per cent more ice cream on average when using a larger scoop.

4. Choose your plate colour wisely Believe it or not, the colour contrast between your food and plate creates an optical illusion that can lead you to eat more than you realise, according to research from Cornell University. The more obvious the contrast between food and plate colour, the less likely you are to overeat. In the study, people who served themselves pasta with tomato sauce on a red plate ate 22% more than those who ate the same meal from a white plate.

5. Choose your glass carefully, too Alcohol is packed with calories - which is one of the many reasons why it's never a good idea to overindulge. But did you know you can slow down the rate at which you drink by choosing a differentshaped glass? Opt for a straight glass and you'll be better able to gauge how much you're drinking than if you go for a curved one, say researchers at the University of Bristol. Using glasses with volume markings also helps, of course.

6. Hide those second helpings Made a nice big stew, lasagne or casserole? Once you've served up, put the remainder away – with a lid on it – before you sit down for dinner. If you put it on the table or even just leave it sitting out in the kitchen, you'll be more tempted to go for seconds.

7. Tailor your portion sizes Give everyone the same-sized portion - regardless of their gender, height, body shape or lifestyle - and chances are someone's going to be taking in more calories than they need. As a rough guide, women need 2,000 calories per day and men need 2,500. Interestingly, women also tend to eat more when they dine with men because they don't want to give the impression they're constantly counting calories, according to recent

Dance - getting started Dancing is a great way to meet people and many firm friendships - even romances are made on the dance floor.

Read our tips for getting started, and how to find a dance group to join

You won't even need a partner - teachers usually rotate men and women so you get a chance to dance with everyone in the class.

Most dance classes are extremely friendly and many

teachers hold social events or clubs where you can practise your steps.

Follow these tips to ensure you get fit safely and avoid injury: • Don't over-do it. If you've

research from Ireland.

8. Listen to relaxing music …and dim the lights during dinner. Lighting and noise can influence food consumption because they dictate how satisfied we feel. Create a calming environment and you're more likely to relax and enjoy your food instead of wolfing it down mindlessly. People consume an average 175 more calories in a brightly lit fast food restaurant than they do in exactly the same eaterie when it's dimly lit with relaxing background music, according to research at Cornell University.

9. Chew your food for longer Make each mouthful last longer and you'll significantly reduce the amount of calories you consume – partly because it gives your brain longer to register that the stomach is full. One study from Harbin Medical University in China found that people who chewed each piece of food 40 times ate 12 per cent less than those who chewed just 15 times. It's also a good idea to pause – and even put your cutlery down – between mouthfuls.

10. Have a laugh

Finally, give yourself a break and forget all about portion sizes and serving spoons for a little while. Have a proper 15-minute belly laugh every day and you could burn up to 280 calories in a week. That's according to a US study, published in the International Journal of Obesity. Laughter speeds up the metabolism and works lots of different muscles.

previously been inactive it's best to start slowly (no more than three times a week) to avoid the risk of injuring feet, ankles or knees.

• Stay cool. Wear light, comfortable clothing - cotton is good as it disperses sweat.

Choose sensible low-heeled shoes with a leather or composite sole. Trainers are difficult to dance in as they stick to the floor; keep high heels for special dancing occasions.

• Warm up and cool down. A good dance teacher will begin with a short warm-up to get your circulation moving, with a cool-down and stretch at the end of the class.

• Stick at it. The first few weeks are always the most difficult but, even if you have two left feet, you'll get the hang of it with a little time and practice. Most classes are friendly so there's no need to feel self-conscious - and the teacher's always on hand if you're finding it tricky.

• Shop around. If you're not sure which dance is for you, try a few out.

• Find the right teacher. For more established dance styles like ballroom, look for a qualified teacher. Emerging dance forms like salsa are less tightly regulated, so it's best to check out classes yourself.

visible, while the city is now the headquarters of Iraq's petroleum industry.

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

13. Arbil, Iraq

Archaeological sites and numerous beaches attract modern visitors.

Robert Byron (British travel writer): "History in this island is almost too profuse. It gives one a sort of mental indigestion".

16. Athens, Greece When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,000 BC Situated on the west bank of the Ganges, Varanasi also known as Benares - is an important holy city for both Hindus and Buddhists. According to legend, it was founded by the Hindu deity Lord Shiva 5,000 years ago, though modern scholars believe it to be around 3,000 years old.

Mark Twain (American author): "Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together."

19. Cádiz, Spain

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,100 BC Found on a narrow spit of land jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, Cádiz has been the home of the Spanish navy since the 18th century. It was founded by the Phoenicians as a small trading post and fell to the Carthaginians around 500BC, becoming a base for Hannibal's conquest of Iberia. It then came under Roman and Moorish rule, before experiencing a renaissance during the Age of Exploration.

Robert Browning, the English poet and playwright, wrote: “Nobly, nobly Cape Saint Vincent to the Northwest died away/ Sunset ran, one glorious blood-red, reeking into Cádiz bay.”

18. Thebes, Greece

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,400 BC A major rival of ancient Athens, Thebes ruled the Boeotian confederacy and even lent assistance to Xerxes during the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Archaeological excavation has revealed a Mycenaean settlement dating back even further. Today, Thebes is little more than a market town.

John Milton (English poet): “Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy/ In sceptred pall come sweeping by/ Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line/ Or the tale of Troy divine.”

17. Larnaca, Cyprus When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,400 BC Founded as 'Citium' by the Phoenicians, Larnaca is well-known for its pretty seafront lined with palm trees.

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,400 BC The cradle of Western Civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Athens's heritage is still very evident. It is filled with Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman monuments and remains a hugely popular tourist destination.

Alexander the Great: “How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.”

15. Balkh, Afghanistan

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 1,500 BC Known as Bactra to the ancient Greeks, Balkh is found in northern Afghanistan and is described as the 'Mother of Cities' by Arabs. It reached its peak between 2,500 BC and 1,900 BC prior to the rise of the Persian and Median empires. Modern Balkh is home to the region's cotton industry.

W.C. Fields (American actor and writer): "During one of my treks through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew.

We were compelled to live on food and water for several days.”

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

14. Kirkuk, Iraq

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 2,200 BC Located around 150 miles north of Baghdad, Kirkuk stands on the site of the ancient Assyrian capital of Arrapha. Its strategic importance was recognised by the Babylonians and the Media, who have also controlled the city. The ruins of a 5,000-year-old citadel are still

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 2,300 BC North of Kirkuk lies Arbil, ruled at various times by the Assyrians, Persians, Sasanians, Arabs and Ottomans. It was a major stop on the Silk Road while its ancient citadel - which rises 26 metres from the ground - still dominates the skyline.

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

12. Tyre, Lebanon

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 2,750 BC The legendary birthplace of Europa and Dido, Tyre was founded around 2,750 BC, according to Herodotus.

It was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BC following a seven-month siege and became a Roman province in 64 BC. Today, tourism is a major industry: the city's Roman Hippodrome is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The Bible mentions the city: "Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes.”

11. Jerusalem, Middle East

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 2,800 BC The spiritual centre of the Jewish people and Islam's third-holiest city, Jerusalem is home to several key religious sites, including the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the al-Aqsa Mosque. During its history, the city has been besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, captured 44 times and destroyed twice.

Benjamin Disraeli (1st Earl of Beaconsfield; former UK prime minister): "The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven."

10. Beirut, Lebanon When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 3,000 BC Lebanon's capital, as well as its cultural, administrative and economic centre, Beirut's history stretches back around 5,000 years. Excavations in the city have unearthed Phoenician, Hellenistic, Roman, Arab and Ottoman remains, while it is mentioned in letters to the pharaoh of Egypt as early as the 14th century BC. Since the end of the Lebanese civil war, it has

Both Jesus and St Paul are said to have visited Sidon, as did Alexander the Great, who captured the city in 333 BC. Charles Méryon (French artist): "Few persons new to the climate escape a rash of some description."

wealth of historical attractions made it a popular tourist destination, until recent unrest struck.

Hilaire Belloc (English-French writer and historian): "Damascus is... a symbol. One might call it a bunch of symbols. It is a symbol of the permanent physical conditions that run throughout history; the permanent geographical limits of human settlement, government and war."

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

3. Aleppo, Syria

become a lively, modern tourist attraction.

Jan Morris (Welsh historian and travel writer): “To the stern student of affairs, Beirut is a phenomenon, beguiling perhaps, but quite, quite impossible.”

9. Gaziantep, Turkey

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 3,650 BC Found in southern Turkey, close to the border with Syria, Gaziantep's history extends as far back as the Hittites. The Ravanda citadel - restored by the Byzantines in the sixth century - is found in the city centre, while Roman mosaics have also been discovered.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (English poet and philosopher): "They have no past; they are not an historical people; they exist only in the present."

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

8. Plovdiv, Bulgaria

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,000 BC The second-largest city in Bulgaria, Plovdiv was originally a Tracian settlement before becoming a major Roman city. It later fell into Byzantine and Ottoman hands, before becoming part of Bulgaria. The city is a major cultural centre and boasts many ancient remains, including a Roman amphitheatre and aqueduct, and Ottoman baths.

Lucian (Roman writer): "This is the biggest and loveliest of all cities. Its beauty shines from faraway."

7. Sidon, Lebanon

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,000 BC Around 25 miles south of Beirut lies Sidon, one of the most important - and perhaps the oldest - Phoenician

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,000 BC Southwest of Cairo, Faiyum occupies part of Crocodilopolis - an ancient Egyptian city which worshipped Petsuchos, a sacred crocodile. Modern Faiyum consists of several large bazaars, mosques and baths, while the Lehin and Hawara pyramids are found nearby.

Herodotus (Greek historian): "Egypt is an acquired country, the gift of the river."

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

5. Susa, Iran

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,200 BC Susa was the capital of the Elamite Empire before being captured by the Assyrians. It was then taken by the Achaemenid Persian under Cyrus the Great and is the setting of The Persians, an Athenian tragedy by Aeschylus and the oldest surviving play in the history of theatre. The modern city, Shush, has a population of around 65,000.

Francis Bacon (1st Viscount St. Alban; English philosopher and author): "Persia, a country imbarred with mountains, open to the sea, and in the middle of the world."

The Foreign Office has recently changed its travel advice for the majority of Iran and now considers it safe for travellers.

4. Damascus, Syria

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,300 BC Cited by some sources as the world's oldest inhabited city, Damascus may have been inhabited as early as 10,000 BC, also this is debated. It became an important settlement after the arrival of the Aramaeans, who established a network of canals, which still form the basis of its modern water networks. Another of Alexander the Great's conquests, Damascus has since been in Roman, Arab and Ottoman possession. Its

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 4,300 BC Syria's most populated city with around 4.4 million citizens Aleppo was founded as Halab in around 4,300 BC. As the ancient site is occupied by the modern city it is barely touched by archaeologists. The city was under Hittite control until around 800 BC, before passing through Assyrian, Greek and Persian hands. It was later occupied by the Romans, Byzantines and Arabs, besieged by the Crusaders and then taken by the Mongols and Ottomans.

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

2. Byblos, Lebanon

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 5,000 BC Founded as Gebal by the Phoenicians, Byblos was given its name by the Greeks, who imported papyrus from the city. Hence the English word Bible is derived from Byblos. The city's key tourist sites include ancient Phoenician temples, Byblos Castle and St John the Baptist Church - built by crusaders in the 12th century and the old Medieval City Wall. The Byblos International Festival is a more modern attraction, and has featured bands such as Keane and Jethro Tull.

1. Jericho, Palestinian Territories

When did the earliest inhabitants settle? 9,000 BC The world's oldest continually-inhabited city, according to our sources, archaeologists have unearthed the remains of 20 successive settlements in Jericho, dating back 11,000 years. The city is found near the Jordan River in the West Bank and is today home to around 20,000 people.

Can I go? The Foreign Office advises not.

For the record, Europe's other oldest cities include Lisbon (ca. 1000 BC), Rome (753 BC), Corfu (ca. 700 BC) and Mantua (ca. 500 BC). London was founded in 43 AD.

The Pailebotes "Pascual Flores" and "Carmen Flores" THE SCHOONERS or pailebotes "Pascual Flores" and "Carmen Flores", their construction, voyages and their crews are part of the maritime history of Torrevieja. Both vessels, were built in the shipyards of the Torrevieja Beach Arenal, Cala Cornuda, by the riverside, by master carpenter Antonio Maria Aguirre, with the Pascual Flores being the last ship to be built on Torrevieja's Beaches.

The Valencian owner of the boasts decided to name both after his daughters Pascual and Carmen. Over time the two schooners followed different paths at the hands of various owners or maritime shipping companies and they were subjected to various styles of work from pure merchant vessels, to restaurants, to museums and training ships.

After many years of neglect, in January 1997, the "Carmen Flores", could be seen in Cartagena's port under the name Sayremar I. It was dedicated to maritime rescue and was bought by the consortium of Drasenas the Maritime Museum of Barcelona for restoration as one of the last merchant sailing ships built on the Mediterranean shores by a Spanish company. The restoration of the ship, its launching and corresponding sea trials were carried out to the full satisfaction of all involved with the name changed to "Santa Eulalia", patron of Barcelona. With her new crew the ship set sail following the old salt route from Balearic Islands to Barcelona, visiting different ports of call in Spain, including Torrevieja and Huelva. At present the "Santa Eulalia" is designated as an historic sailing ship and is the subject of numerous visits from people who love vintage sailing ships.

In early February, 1999 the "Pascual Flores" could be found in the UK, looking very sad for itself. It belonged to a British company based in Bristol and had spent time mainly as a floating restaurant before being purchased by the Municipality of Torrevieja with the intention to transport the boat to Spain for restoration. However, once it had been thoroughly inspected and work started, due to the poor state of the timber it was decided to build a replica of the original ship, piece by piece, timber by timber.

Today the new schooner Pascual Flores is docked in the area dedicated to the floating museum in Torrevieja's harbour. Unlike the Santa Eulalia, the Pascual

Flores is not open to the public and has been the subject of much political wrangling over the years. The original idea was the ship would be used as training ship for naval cadets for part of the year, based in Torrevieja for the majority of the year as a museum and the rest of year attending Tall Ship events as a floating promotion for the City of Torrevieja. Depending on the new government of this city, this may or may not still be part of the future for the beautiful tall ship.

In August 1999, a delegation from the City of Torrevieja, led by former mayor Pedro Hernandez Mateo visited the English town of Bristol to buy the schooner "Pascual Flores". The characteristic sailboat was acquired for a total of 468,000 euros, paid to an English charity.

The fixed price, close to 78 million pesetas (remember those days of the peseta), was high by the standards of the market, but the lack of existence of vessels from that era, still with life in them and because of its historical value seemed to dampen the spending costs.

The schooner had spent nearly eight years stranded in the port of Milford under limited supervision and had to be transported by specialists Cheyenne, who specialise in the transport of yachts in poor condition. In turn, parallel to the arrival of the ship, the construction of special concrete structure was undertaken to welcome her, which cost about 102,000 euros. She arrived in Torrevieja in September 1999 with the first serious inspections resulting in the wait of about a year sitting docked at the port. The ship began to suffer problems with water leaks, and in 2000 it was decided that further studies would have to be made.

The acquisition expenses, initial studies, transfer from England and related expenses, exceed one million euros.

For five years nothing was known about the yacht, but in 2005 the council announced the commissioning of its "restoration" by the joint venture company formed by Jost SL and Vatasa shipyard Santa Pola for an amount at 3.5 million euros. A year later (2006) of the vessel's remains are found in a Bigastro junkyard. Doubts now began to overshadow the actual value of the ship to the city of Torrevieja, with the estimate of the municipal initiative now standing around 4.5 million euros.

In April 2007, the contractor requested an amendment to the initial plan and for the first time, the Town Hall opened up to the public about the status of the ship. In late 2007, the "Pascual Flores" was launched into the sea. In 2009, the former President of the Generalitat Francisco Camps visited the city and along

with the Mayor announced the signing of an agreement by which the "Pascual Flores" will be the future of the Sailing School of the Generalitat, in what appears to be Valencian version of the training ship "Juan Sebastian Elcano". It advertises a schedule for the boat for the next nine months, with the plan being to rest during the summer and be used as a tourist attraction in the maritime museum. Two years later (February 2011) she received its first crew: five students from the Polytechnic Institute of Alicante Mediterranean Sea. However, apart from a few visits by speciality groups, dignitaries and travel agents, she has not yet been visited by the public. After spending six million euros and twelve years of waiting, the "Pascual Flores" is now apparently ready for business, but even though she has recently passed sea worthiness tests, some political wrangling over the future plans for the ship remain.

The ships more illustrious past also included being one of the featured ships in a couple of episodes of The Onedin Line, the BBC television drama series, which ran from 1971 to 1980. The series is set in Liverpool from 1860 to 1886 (even though the Pascual Flores was built in 1917) and deals with the rise of a shipping line, the Onedin Line, named after its owner James Onedin.

Around this it depicts the lives of his family, most notably his brother and partner Robert, a shop-owner, and his sister Elizabeth, giving insight into the lifestyle and customs at the time, not only at sea, but also ashore.

The series also illustrates some of the changes in business and shipping, such as from wooden to steel ships and from sailing ships to steam ships. It shows the role that ships played in such matters as international politics, uprisings and the slave trade.

Among the other ships used in the series, of which many can still be found sailing around the world in Tall Ship events, were the steam pinnace Hero, then owned and lent by John Player & Sons, and the following tall ships: Statsraad Lehmkuhl, Kathleen and May playing the part of the Charlotte Rhodes, Christian Radich, Sagres, Søren Larsen, Danmark, the Sir Winston Churchill - one early episode, Gorch Fock, Thorso, Nora-av-Ven from Ven, Sweden, an 82 feet long twin-masted topsail schooner built in 1825 and used in Series 1, plus the Pascual Flores.

Cardona: a Hollywood Hotel: From 007 to 700 A mere 50 years after Orson Welles walked through the palatial splendour of Cardona castle to film his Shakespearian classic ‘Chimes at Midnight’, the world of the cinema returns to Cardona for an event in which three experts on Spanish cinema history and the popular new kind of tourism, ‘set-jetting’, or movie tourism if you prefer, will present the fruits of their research in the same place, which is now the Parador Nacional de Cardona, one of many historical buildings which operate as state-run hotels in Spain.

Many Paradors have been used for films, such as the one at Sigüenza, where Ridley Scott shot ‘1492’, or Oropesa in the province of Toledo, where Frank Sinatra stirred up guerrilla trouble during ‘Pride and Passion’, Hondarribia, where Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen were marched into exile in ‘Papillon’, or Chinchón, where John Wayne set up his big top in ‘Circus World’; but Cardona was the first, where Welles turned the 9th century castle into Windsor, and where Henry IV and his son, the future Henry V argued about kingship.

Valencia-based teacher and writer Bob Yareham was Bob with his book

the initiator of this project, having already presented his new book at the Parador at Oropesa in the summer of 2015.

He will present his latest book: ‘A Set Jetters Guide to Spain: 101 Locations’, and will review the history of some of the 700 English language films shot in Spain and discuss how Spain can harness and benefit from cinema tourism.

Jaime Palau from Lleida is an expert on the locations of James Bond films, and has travelled all over the world recording the places where 007 did what he does so well, a surprisingly large number of the locations being in Spain. Jaume is now developing a number of movie tourism initiatives.

Marga Araya is from Barcelona and has dedicated many years to researching the visits of Sir Laurence Olivier to Spain, and has just published a book about the great actor and his wife, the actress Vivien Leigh.

The event will take place in the Parador on Saturday 17th October 2015 at 7 pm, and admission is of course free.

After Hours at The Fire Station Whats On Costa Blanca shared a glass of wine After Hours with Nigel and Tracey Betteridge at The Fire Station in Via Park 1 Playa Flamenca Tell us about yourselves We are Nigel and Tracey Betteridge, we are married and have lived permanently in Spain for 7 years now, having owned a holiday home in La Mata for some 7 years beforehand, so we already knew the area very well. We are a friendly couple and love meeting people, so opening a bar was a natural progression for us.

What made you open a bar?

It had been a dream of ours since before we moved to Spain; we always

talked about opening our own bar out here. Of course, as often happens, other matters got in the way and at times we thought it would never happen. So it has taken us 6½ years but our dream is now a reality. As soon as we viewed the bar we fell in love with it and the terrace is fantastic. We also have the great sea view as an added bonus. That alone really is worth coming up the steps for.

Where did the inspiration for the name come from?

Nigel is an Ex Firefighter, as are most of his family. I, Tracey, was a secretary for The Fire Service so it is in our blood really.

The family had lots of authentic memorabilia, some of which we have used to help create a theme for the bar so, when it came to choosing a name for the bar that was all the inspiration we needed really.

Who does the cooking? And how would you describe your style?

I bake all the Baguettes, Paninis and Pies fresh every day. Most of our cakes too are homemade.

We will be

Giant Low Fat Ginger Cookies Ingredients • 1 cup whole wheat flour • 1 cup white flour • 2 teaspoons baking soda • 1 dash salt • 2 teaspoons ground ginger • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1 1⁄4 cups brown sugar • 2 tablespoons butter • 1⁄4 cup molasses • 2 large egg whites or 1⁄4 cup egg substitute • 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce Directions 1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. 2. Combine the flour through the brown sugar and mix well.

3. Using an electric mixer combine the butter, molasses, egg whites, and applesauce.

4. Add the dry ingredients and mix well.

5. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

6. Drop the batter by 1 1/2 tablespoons onto the baking sheet.

7. These will spread so allow some room.

8. Bake for about 15 minutes per batch or until they are starting to brown on the bottom.

9. Let these cool on a rack.

introducing more mouth-watering home cooked food for the winter months. We also wanted to be a little different from most bars, this is why we sourced our flavoured syrups for our speciality coffees, hot chocolates, frappes, milkshakes, etc.

What’s your favourite dish on the menu?

At the moment our favourite item on the menu has be the Deep Filled Apple Pie with Cream, naughty but very nice!

Favourite day of the week?

We both agree that it is a Saturday as we have live entertainment on that night. We have a different act every

week so there is plenty of variety. For us it is like being able to look forward to having a party every weekend!

Any interesting tales?

Well, as I suppose any bar owner will tell you, there are many, although some are not fit to print! One amusing story that springs to mind is a question once asked in all seriousness by one of our customers. You have to bear in mind that our bar is situated on the 2nd Floor of Via Park 1, (there is no lift) and our customer asked if it had originally been an actual Fire Station and, if so, how did the fire engines get in and out !!!

Cooking for a Fiesta Hosting a Spanish party and not sure what to serve?

Follow these examples of local fare and it’ll be plain sailing!

‘Siesta’ and ‘Fiesta’; two of the most commonly used words in the Standard Expat Dictionary (which doesn’t exist, but probably should). As philosophical states of the mind and body, every Spaniard has perfected the art of the fiesta-siesta-fiesta routine.

As you might expect, the morning starts slowly with friends and family arriving as and when they please. If you’re hosting, be sure to instil a BYOB policy, or if you’re feeling adventurous, send round a few recipes beforehand and let your guests try their hand at Spanish cookery too!

Tapas, of course, plays a role in a big foodie gathering

like this, but more in the form of something for guests to pick on before the main dishes arrive. Bowls of olives, bar snacks and platters of cured meats such as chorizo, lomo and jamón serrano are sure to be popular and require next to nothing in terms of preparation.

The main meal: A little fact: No matter where you are, no Spanish party is complete without paella, and the great thing about paella is ‘the bigger the better.’ An authentic paella is cooked (and served) in a wide, two-handled paella pan, and will always contain rice seasoned with vegetable or meat stock and saffron. Beyond this, you can add in just about anything you like. My personal favourite is pancetta, rabbit and asparagus, so be sure to include your favourite ingredients because there is no wrong answer!

The concept of vegetarianism still isn’t all that common in some parts of Spain, and this is no different at big parties, where high quality meat reigns supreme.

The traditional accompaniment to the mighty paella is a carnivore’s dream: churrasco. More generally, churrasco refers to any type of grilled meat cooked over a barbecue or grill (parilla), but in Northern areas like Galicia, you can expect rack upon rack of perfectly charred pork or beef ribs. This is where the quality of the ingredients really shines through. You could go for a cheaper option and end up with a mouthful of bone, gristle and fat, along with a sliver of meat, but your guests will thank you for shelling out a little more for

thicker, meatier ribs that cook better and taste delicious.

For true flair, serve these ribs with a generous measure of either bottled or homemade chimichurri; a tangy mix of fresh herbs, garlic, oil and vinegar.

Dessert:

Whether the recipe comes from Mamá or from Abuelita (grandmother), you can be sure every family has at least one trick up their sleeves when it comes to desserts. Flan, a set egg custard topped with syrupy caramel is always a firm favourite, as is natilla – break through the soft cinnamon-dusted biscuits to get to the runny custard underneath.

Finally, the drinks: A good Rioja will always go down well – decanter not necessary, but it adds to the grandeur of the occasion!

Aside from that, be sure to have cans or bottles of the beer of your choice, as well as lemonade (Kas Limon is perfect!) for guests to mix up their own ‘clara’ or shandy.

Kids love homemade lemonade (lemons, ice, sugar and fresh mint), or why not whip up a non-alcoholic sangria?

Any or all of these food ideas will be hugely appreciated at any Spanish lunch, dinner or party, so get creative and have fun with it!

Bars, Restaurants and Food

Pulpo a la Gallega This is a very typical Spanish dish from Galicia in the North West of Spain. This can be served as a tapas or a main meal.

Pulpo is very popular at the markets or ferias in the region and it is very typical to see the "pulpeiras" with a huge copper pot, where the octopus is boiled. The majority of people go to the ferias just to try this dish.

Most of the work is cleaning and preparing the fresh octopus. Frozen octopus is readily available in speciality food stores and using this eliminates the need for the preparation described below. The frozen octopus comes cleaned and chopped, all is required is to defrost and cook.

We will include in this recipe the process of preparing the fresh octopus.

Ingredients: 1 large octopus (more than 1kg). If the octopus is fresh it is best to freeze it for a couple of days to help soften it.

Rock salt Spanish smoked paprika (Hot, sweet, or both) 1 Bay leaf Potatoes Extra virgin olive oil Preparation: Method: Thoroughly clean the fresh octopus.

Open the head and remove the entrails (this will smell a little!)

In a large casserole pot add water to boil with some salt and the bay leaf.

Once the water is boiling, prick the octopus with a fork and plunge it whole into the water. Remove from the water immediately. This action ‘scalds’ the meat which makes it shrink and helps it become soft. Repeat this action of plunging the octopus into the boiling water twice more, the final time leaving it in the water.

Depending on the size of the octopus, leave it to boil for about 30 minutes.

After this time, turn off the heat and leave everything in the pot for 5-10 minutes (this will help keep the meat nice and white and prevent it peeling).

For presentation, potatoes can be added.

Use 3 to 4 medium to large potatoes peeled but not cut.

When the potatoes are boiled, cut them into thick slices and lay them out covering the surface of a plate. Chop the octopus into 10mm thick slices using scissors and arrange on top of the layer of potatoes displaying the best cuts at the top. Generously add salt, olive oil, and the paprika to taste. Serve hot.

The best of three worlds New website lets you appeal parking fines in seconds

It seems that a number of manufacturers are tapping into the pickup market these days, with good reason too: one-third of Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) sales are pick-ups and the UK's the biggest market for them in Europe. So it comes as no surprise that Renault has unveiled a concept for its first truck - the Alaskan concept.

Powered by Renault’s four-pot twinturbo diesel, the Alaskan is a concept for now, but a production model will follow in 2016 and Renault says the design and dimensions will follow suit. The production model will be unveiled during the first half of 2016, Renault has confirmed.

Another pick-up: what the Renault Alaskan concept has to offer Renault says that the Alaskan concept is ‘the best of three worlds:’ business, leisure and motorway driving. The four-

pot twin-turbo diesel engine powers the Alaskan and Renault claims strong performance, class-topping fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. It's based on the Nissan Navara pick-up as part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance - and the forthcoming Merc ute will use the same underpinnings.

Renault has paid particular attention to the front end, with bonnet bulges providing a muscular look, and 21in wheels - a size more accustomed to a west-coast customs Escalade. Loading capability sits at one-tonne and there are compartments dashed about the loading bay for fixing down materials or hiding away items. The Alaskan concept is finished in a combination of satin-effect, brushed and polished metal finishes.

The 2016 production model will be available in a range of body types and powertrains, Renault says.

A teenager has created an innovative way for motorists to fight parking tickets in seconds.

Joshua Browder, 18, from North London, created the website donotpay.co.uk after he received numerous parking tickets in the months since passing his driving test.

The website directs motorists to pick 12 options, asks them to fill in their details and then creates a customised appeal – generated by the website – to the relevant council.

The entire process, including signing up to the service, takes less than a minute.

It proved so popular that the website crashed a few days after launching with the student now rapidly expanding its capacity, as well as introducing new features.

Mr Browder, who will study Computer science and economics at California’s Stanford University this autumn, said he realised councils operate a “tickets first and ask questions later” policy after

receiving 30 tickets parking around his school in Camden.

“I was given the parking tickets for trivial reasons. I have had to spend around one hundred hours of valuable study time writing appeals to these tickets, many of which have been successful,” he told the Daily Mail.

“Unfortunately, many recipients of these tickets don't have the time, legal knowledge or energy to appeal,” he added.

The website was built over the summer after the student – who taught himself code aged 12 – had scanned thousands of pages of documents released by a Freedom of Information request. He had the legal complexities fine-tuned with the help of a leading traffic lawyer.

Mr Browder intends to keep the website free for users and claims that not only is it quick to use, it also offers the best possible chance for motorists to win their appeals.

2016 Jaguar F-Pace SUV revealed For months, Jaguar has been drip feeding the world information about it new F-Pace – the first SUV in its history. But now, a week before the car's official unveil at the Frankfurt motor show, we have the first picture of the finished product.

The F-Pace is the production version of the C-X17 concept, which Jaguar displayed in 2013.

And its looks and proportions clearly remain faithful to the show car's.

Ian Callum, Jaguar's director of design, explained: “We received such an overwhelmingly positive response to the C-X17 concept that we just had to make it a reality.

Under the skin the F-Pace uses the same lightweight aluminium structure as Jaguar's new XE and XF saloons, so efficiency should be comparable with the best luxury SUVs. However, the company has also borrowed expertise from its sister brand Land Rover for the all-wheel-drive system.

Prices will start at about £30,000, meaning the F-Pace will compete with the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Land Rover Discovery Sport, while more expensive versions will also take

on the Porsche Macan.

Buyers will be able to choose from 2.0- and 3.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, and there is also likely to be a high-performance R version with a supercharged 5.0-litre V8.

However, unlike the Discovery Sport, the F-Pace won't be available with seven seats.

Jaguar's decision to break from tradition and build an SUV

makes a lot of sense given the popularity of these high-riding models. The company sold just 81,000 cars globally in 2014, while in the UK the figure was a paltry 15,000.

Such volumes simply aren’t enough to sustain it in the long-term; Jaguar’s German rivals Audi and BMW shifted 158,000 and 148,000 respectively in the UK in 2014, and both sold more than 1.5

million cars globally.

The F-Pace will be built in Solihull alongside larger Land Rover products and the Jaguar XE, and it will go on sale in early 2016.

Before then, Jaguar will reveal more details at this year's Frankfurt show, and we will be reporting live from the press day on September 15. The show is open to the general public from September 17-27.

Giant Tarantula Sent In Sir Patrick Moore ‘Saw Parcel To Bristol Home UFO Being Filmed’

A new homeowner had a shock when one of the world's largest spiders arrived in a box in the post.

The Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater was discovered when the man received a 'Return to Sender' parcel which was intended for the previous owners of his house in Bristol.

Dates on the parcel showed that the arachnid had been circulating in the postal system unopened for about three weeks and its bedding had gone mouldy.

The man took the spider to Highcroft Veterinary Group in Bristol, which confirmed it was a member of the world's third largest spider species - and that it was "very unwell".

Sonya Miles, a veterinary surgeon at the clinic, said it was "showing signs of dehydration and had lost a lot of hair from the abdomen".

She added: "Mould can affect tarantulas very negatively so, with the

exposure to the fungus and being stressed after circulating in the post for so long, I'm surprised it even survived."

It is not uncommon for insects and small living creatures to be sent via the post but there are strict regulations regarding labelling and the type of postal service that should be used.

"Although the package did adhere to all the regulations, it was just an unlucky situation that resulted in it not being collected by its intended owners," Miss Miles said.

The spider, named Sid, has been taken to recover at the North Somerset Reptile Rescue centre before it can be handled and given a new home.

Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeaters can have a leg span of 11in (28cm) and have been known to be aggressive.

The spiders have 1in (2.5cm) fangs and are capable of "kicking" hairs from their abdomen when they feel threatened, which can cause blindness.

Iconic TV astronomer Patrick Moore saw a UFO caught on camera while making a documentary during the 1960’s – but the BBC edited it out, an alien researcher has claimed.

Matt Lyons, an alien researcher, made the bold claims during the 50th anniversary of the ‘Warminster Thing’ – after local residents of the Somerset town began reporting strange noises and paranormal residents in 1965.

Detailing the claims, Mr Lyons revealed how local reporter Arthur Shuttlewood had spoken to Sir Patrick as he stargazed in the village in January 1969.

But despite being a renowned UFO sceptic, Sir Patrick and his production crew were said to have spotted a ‘UFO’ and their watches stopped when they arrived on the site.

Mr Shuttlewood wrote: ‘Just after a satellite arced from north to south, the attention of a camera man was drawn to

an orange glow that developed into an ellipsoidal craft flying low in the opposite direction to the satellite.

‘It then flared into a glowing brilliance as it glided unerringly and silently towards the darkened copse saddling Cradle Hill.’

And while Sir Patrick referred to the‘UFOs’ as ‘inexplicable light formations’, a BBC producer later thanked Mr Shuttlewood for an ‘unforgettable and wonderful experience.’

Denying the claims, a BBC Spokesperson said: ‘We have a lot of things in the BBC archive but no aliens or flying saucers.’

Princes in the Tower still haunting London

Good baa-haviour

A sheep has been promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal in the British Army for good behaviour.

Private Derby XXX was promoted to the rank at an event in Chester, marking eight years of being in the Mercian Regiment.

The ram was awarded his honour by the Colonel of the regiment, Brigadier Andrew Williams.

The Swaledale sheep is officially classed as a solider and he is the 30th in a

line of mascot rams running back to the Indian Mutiny War in the mid-19th Century.

Formerly known as Private Derby 30th, his promotion now entitles him to wear a single stripe on his uniform.

The Mercian Regiment celebrated his success on its Facebook page, writing: "He was resplendent in his scarlet coat with Lincoln green and gold facings, emblazoned with the Regiment's main Battle Honours."

The spooky images were taken by Christine Hamlett, 58, a psychic who believes the long-dead boys reached out to her when she visited the London attraction.

Edward V and his twin brother, Richard of Shrewsbury, disappeared in 1483 and their death has been shrouded in mystery ever since.

It's believed the two princes were murdered by their uncle Richard III. But the medium from Northwich, Cheshire, believes she has the answer – and it's that the 15th century king is innocent.

She said: "I'm sure they were trying to communicate with me. As soon as I arrived at the tower I felt a presence.

"It's an amazing place for any medium because it's draped in history but to have contact with the two princes was incredible.

"I invite the spirits to reveal themselves to me and take the photographs – my friends call me the

psychic paparazzi.

"When I look at the photos on my computer, I lighten and darken the photos, as sometimes that can help the spirits reveal themselves.

"When I turned this photo into black and white, I was stunned - I could see the figure as clear as day.

"He looks to be a teenage boy, between 14 and 16, walking along the tower with his head bowed.

"Of course I don't know for sure that that is what it is, but that's what I believe.

The princes were last seen in the tower at the end of August, and that's when I think they appeared to me, at the same time of year.

"I don't think Richard III murdered them. Of course, you can never be completely sure but that's what I think and that's what I felt on that day.

"There is a lot of building work being done to the tower, and often, that can disturb spirits - which I see as even more proof that the figure I can see is a spirit."

Polina Berezina attends the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championship with the Spanish Selection POLINA BEREZINA, Tthe Torrevieja Club Gymnast, is attending the World Rhythmic Gymnastics championships which are being held in Sturttgart from 7th to September 13th, along with her three companions of the Spanish Squad.

Polina makes her debut in their first World Cup with the ribbons. The competition is a qualifier for the 2016 Summer Olympics, so the Spanish team are here fighting for a spot.The Spanish representation has the first two top gymnasts in the country, Carolina Rodriguez and Natalia Garcia alongside Sara Illana and Polina. Each compete in a different discipline which serves for Olympic qualification.

During this season Polina has been

part of the Spanish selection at six World Cup events and, despite her youth, already has major experience behind her that serves well for the next season. The selection of the national team for the world championship is based on periodic inspections of the Spanish selection and the evolution of the gymnasts in international competitions this year.

Polina's coach, Monica Ferrandez, stressed that "the Club Torrevieja gymnast comes with us to the competition in order to both compete and to demonstrate the work she has done throughout the year. She will continue to accumulate international experience without losing sight of the next Olympics in Rio."

Costa Cobras Rfc Keep Quesada Golf Society Moving Forward

Last Wednesday the Society travelled south to the Mar Menor to play Roda. The course was in excellent condition except for the area surrounding most of the greens which had been sanded but it is appreciated that maintenance work has to be carried out. The weather forecast was not very good with storms and rain being given out between 12.00 and 15.00. We were teeing off at 10.00 am so fully expected to get wet on the second 9. There was a dis-appointing turn-out of 17 golfers but those who did make the effort had a good day because there were no thunderstorms or rain, just a bit of breeze which was most welcome to cool things down. The competition was an individual stableford for the “Summer Cup”. One incident out there worthy of note has to be the eyesight of Janet Candelin who lined up a shot to play towards the pin but the pin she lined up to play towards was in fact a sun brolly in somebody's garden on the edge of the course. A visit to Spec-Savers may be needed. The winner of the “Summer Cup” with 34 points was John “Robin Hood” King who played well and being a regular player at the tight course at Font De Llop

has certainly made him a straighter hitter and more consistent golfer. There were 4 players behind with 27 points so C/B came into play to decide 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. In second place was John “Bite Your Legs at Walking Football” Dunnion.

In third place was the ever so talkative “Was that a 7 Paul” Darryll Wright and in fourth place bonnie Scotsman Gordon McGregor. Brian Airey in fifth place just missed out on a podium finish but got in on the winners photo and won a bottle of wine with a Nearest the Pin. There were only 2 Nearest the Pin winners, Brian as mentioned and also Darryll Wright. No winner of the 2´s pot which is carried forward to the next game, although John King and Brian Airey got very, very close.

After the game, the golfers returned to the Quesada Country Club for the presentations and a well-earned beer or two and a hot and cold buffet kindly laid on by mine hosts.

Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at very reasonable cost, should contact the Membership Secretary Les Pancetta on 966716723.

The club will be training on Guardamar beach on Monday and Wednesday this week at 20.00. All being well will be back at Daya Vieja as the fiestas should have finished by then. We will be back there training until we can find a more permanent ground to train and play on as well as hold tournaments.

So the club is continuing to look for a more permanent base to do all of the above, so if anybody knows of any town halls in the area of Guardamar to Cuidad Quesada or surrounding area, that would like to have a rugby club based there, please contact us on 692 767 242.

We will be on the beach regardless of the weather with all the new training gear that has been donated to the club and with a few more players to join the club we can start looking for friendlies to play to give the majority of them some game experience ready for next years tournaments and touring teams.

We are looking to be able to put a team in at all levels in the league this time next year so come along and join the newest rugby team on the Costa Blanca and join the rugby revolution.

Also remember the rugby World Cup starts on 18 September so come and get a taste of what all of the excitement is all about.

All ages, gender and nationalities are welcome, from beginners to experienced players, the more the merrier, as we are based on the true traditional ethics of the sport. So come along and join the newest rugby club on the Costa Blanca. Also team bonding after training in the nearest bar for a drink and chat, just how rugby should be.

Football y Fútbol AT LONG last the transfer window is closed and football life returns to what amounts to the football norm until the mad rush to improve teams over Christmas and the New Year. Manchester United headed up the transfer news with buying a relatively unknown teenager for a record fee and then missing selling Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea by two minutes, after many weeks of the transfer market being open for business.

As rumour would have it, apparently Paris St-Germain had a £110m bid for Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo, 30, rejected on transfer deadline day while West Brom's 22-year-old forward Saido Berahino, who was the subject of several bids from Tottenham in the summer transfer window, is set to withdraw his strike threat and will return to training this week. West Brom boss Tony Pulis says Berahino will play for the Baggies again and will take the striker and his mother out to dinner on Monday night following talks with the club.

Karim Benzema has reiterated he is happy at Real Madrid and says there was never any truth in speculation he was planning to leave the club in the Karim Benzema

summer. Arsenal had been strongly linked with the 27year-old French striker. Manchester United are keen to bring Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus, 26, to Old Trafford. The deal could involve United winger Adnan Januzaj, 20, turning his loan with the Bundesliga club into a permanent move. Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell, 21, is set to return to training after undergoing knee surgery in February. (Manchester Evening News) Former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has fuelled speculation about his next job in management by admitting he may not join an "absolute top club". (Liverpool Echo, via Bild) Newcastle United turned down the chance to sign 26year-old QPR striker Charlie Austin on transfer deadline day. Kevin De Bruyne's dad has admitted his son may well take special pleasure in scoring against Chelsea for his new club Manchester City. Attacking midfielder De Bruyne, 24, was sold to Wolfsburg by the Blues in January 2014.

Wales manager Chris Coleman says his team would love to take on England in a friendly before the European Championships in France next summer.

England manager Roy Hodgson says he will experiment with his team in their final three European Championship qualifiers after securing qualification with a 6-0 victory over San Marino. Hodgson has also admitted he is concerned that strikers Danny Welbeck, 24, and Daniel Sturridge, 26, may not be fit enough to play for England at Euro 2016. Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott, 26, has suggested that young English players should get first-team experience by playing lower down the leagues. Manchester United striker Anthony Martial, 19, has been impressing in training with the French national team and could start their friendly match against Serbia on Monday.

Swansea want to release forward Michu from his contract at the club. The 29-year-old Spaniard has not played for the Swans since April 2014 and spent last year on loan with Napoli. The president of FC Porto has written to Uefa with a proposal that each of the 32 clubs taking part in the Champions League group stage help raise money for refugee charities. The clubs would donate one euro for every ticket sold over the first two match days.

Torrevieja loses to Saguntino by a goal to nil ONE POINT from nine is not what fans, players, management or the directors of CD Torrevieja expected at this part of the season. As local sports writer Antonio Sala Buades put it: “The impression continues to be that this is a Torrevieja team with a car whose driver strives to keep turning the ignition key without any spark that starts the engine. It sounds as if in turning the key these attempts seem to anticipate that at any time the engine may start, but the truth is that as much as the pedal is depressed, you are still almost standing still. So perhaps the time to get out and lift the hood has come, to see what happens.”

Cutting words indeed about a team that showed great pre-season promise but has not been able to perform at all this season. With one very fortunate point from their fantastic two goals in additional time comeback at home, the one point looks better than nothing at the bottom of the table. It is early to assess the extent of these early games with all of the league ahead, but the competition is unforgiving and eight points have been lost already. A significant fact is that the team have not yet been able to take the lead in any game and also that, to make matters

worse, have not looked dangerous, with the exception of final minutes against Borriol, to be able to counter attack with guarantees. And these situations, sooner or later can lead to psychological damage and degenerate into a dangerous spiral.

Manager Pedreño tried to shake the team into action with several changes in the starting line-up. Besides Edi on the left side, Matej debuted in the centre of defence with Quintero and Lewis up front. However, the most important tactic lay in the provision of Sanchez played ahead of the back three, in order to develop the game from that area and not have to play the long pass. Carrasco occupied his natural demarcation as Juanfran's link man. But the team did not look confident from the start and these anxieties were visible in certain details,

like a pair of back passes that meant that goalkeeper Oscar, had to leave his area to clear, once even by his head.

Torrevieja lost the battle in the melee at midfield from the start. The height and strength of Paul Vidal had no proper response, and therefore favoured the local team with worrying frequency for Torrevieja, every time the ball would leave the goalkeepers hands. The difference between having to attack or defend is decided in these plays, and in them, at least so far, Torrevieja suffer from a significant deficit. While Torrevieja stood off the opposition, in contrast, when Torrevieja were trying to move forward, there was always one, two or even three opponents with the man who was on the ball.

Having had only the one opportunity in the first half, Torry then went a goal down in the fiftieth minute when 'Fran Gámez put the home team one up. But, as has often been the case with Torrevieha over many seasons, any chance of a comeback seemed to be scuppered when a contentious second yellow card was handed out to Carrasco leaving Torrevieja with ten men. Having not looked dangerous with eleven, it was now going to be a bigger take a man less, and a task that even when reverting back to the long ball and looking for a lucky bounce, they were unable to find that elusive equaliser.

Club Deportivo Torrevieja: Oscar Vicente Boix, Matej, Quintero, Edi, Jorge, Brani (Juanma 60 '), Carrasco, Juanfran, Sanchez (Martin 82) and Lewis (César 52'). They did not play: Miguel Serna and Burguillos. Coach: Antonio Pedroza Saura. Referee: Rallo Estevez, showed yellow cards to the Torrevieja players Quintero, Lewis, Juanfran and Matej, and two to Carrasco (expelled 64 ') who will now miss the next home game.After seven visits, the Torrevieja remained winless in the stronghold of Saguntino, this loss coming after three consecutive draws.
