New Prime Minister for Spain: Rajoy OUT Sanchez IN A

t 11am on Saturday Spain’s new Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez of the Socialist Party (PSOE), officially took office at the Zarzuela royal palace in the presence of King Felipe VI. For the first time in Spain’s democratic history, there was no Bible or crucifix at the ceremony. Outgoing Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party (PP), was also present at the brief ceremony. Rajoy wished Sánchez “good luck” when

they greeted each other. Sánchez, who became the seventh Prime Minister in Spain’s democratic history, opted to “promise” to exercise his role as head of the Spanish government, rather than to swear. “I promise to faithfully meet the obligations of the role of Prime Minister with loyalty to the king and to observe and see observed the Constitution as the fundamental law of the state,” was the text he read. Catholics usually “swear” during the ceremony, whereas those without religious faith “promise.” The absence of Catholic symbols was introduced in 2014, in a bid to meet with the religious freedom in Spain established in the Constitution. After the brief ceremony, Pedro

Sánchez headed to La Moncloa Prime Ministerial palace, from where he will choose his new government. Spain’s lower house, the Congress of Deputies, on Friday backed the no-confidence motion against Mariano Rajoy with 180 votes in favour, four more than the absolute majority of 176. By doing so, the leader of the Socialist Party (PSOE), Pedro Sánchez, automatically became Prime Minister thanks to the support of his 84 deputies, and those of an assortment of other parties, including the left-wing anti-austerity group Unidos Podemos, the Basque Continued on page 10

BITE SIZE May Fair irregular payments investigated NEWS: Intensive dance course From the 2nd to the 6th July there will be an intensive dance course in the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen organised by the Municipal School of Dance. The course is entitled ‘Torrevieja Dance Summer Intensive’ and is free and open to students at all the dance schools in the town. Those interested should be between the ages of 10 and 25 and the types of dance covered include contemporary as well as classical. The idea is that students are trained in different techniques and are also encouraged to see dance as a profession as well as a hobby. This is the first time that the course is taking place and the options available will be classical dance, contemporary dance, free style and choreographic composition. The course is complementary to the classes that students take throughout the year and the idea is that it will be built on in future years. The course is also open to teachers who are interested although the main priority is their students. The course will culminate with a show that includes pieces created throughout its duration.

Water sports open day On Friday 8th June there will be opportunity to try out many different water sports at a 50% discount and with some even offered for free. Councillor Fanny Serrano made the announcement at a press conference where she explained that there would be opportunity to take a boat ride, go

The organisation ‘La Casa de Andalucía’ has admitted that it allocated eight of the 28 plots assigned during for the May Fair by mutual agreement. Now the town hall has opened an enquiry into the irregular arrangements made during the contracting of the May Fair or Feria de Sevillanas 2018. It is being alleged that La Casa de Anadalucía Rafael Alberti collected eight 200 euro sums to reserve the plots where the marquees would be installed for the festival this year. Altogether there were 28 plots available. It is also being claimed that the money was used to provide services in the days running up to the fair including the emptying of septic tanks and renting the generators to provide the electricity during the event. The payments were made in cash and were outside the terms and conditions of the official contracts. The May Fair attracted thousands of visitors during its five days duration and is organised by the town hall who contract a third party to administer it. The

council do not have sufficient resources of their own to organise the detail around the festivities. In 2016 this job was taken over by the La Casa de Anadalucía Rafael Alberti but in 2017 and 2018 the contract was awarded to another organiser who acted in collaboration with the Casa de Andalucía. The contract for organising the fair this year came to 113,000 euros and those given the contract have assured the newspaper ‘informacion’ that there was no authorisation given to Casa de Andalucía to perform this kind of management task. The allegation continues that the money was paid to reserve the plots in a way that breaches contract conditions. The town council has now asked the contractor for a list of data of all the marquees on the site during the fair and the type of contractual arrangement that was agreed. They have also asked for details of the exact arrangements for assigning the plots of land for the marquees. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE NEWS: The Delfín submarine Continued from page 3 parasailing, surf or do water padel from €5. This is the third year that the ‘Torrevieja Nautical experience’ day has been on offer. The idea is to raise awareness of the many different water sports that are available in the town and encourage people to try them. It is hoped that they will attract participation from local residents as well as tourists. This year the event will take place on Los Locos beach and will begin at 11am and finish at 8pm. Many of the activities that will be showcased on the day are available throughout the year thanks to the warm climate of Torrevieja. Some of the activities that you can try out on the day are at half price include parasailing for €25 each andhalf an hour on a jet ski for €35 for two people. Flyboarding will cost only €40 and a trip out on the banana boat will only be €7.5. During the day there will be opportunity to try out the town’s fishing tourist trail which takes place from 9am at a special price of €7.50. Provided the weather is kind then during this trip you also get opportunity to see a fishing boat at work. The International Marina will also have activities available on the day such as surf padel for a price of €7 an hour, kayaks and inflatables can be used for €5 an hour. It’s a good opportunity to try out that any water sport that you’ve had in mind but not quite got round to.

no longer lost in translation

There are now nine different languages that you can listen to as you wander around Torrevieja’s Submarino Delfín. The translations have been completed during an employment workshop which has also enabled signs around the town to be renovated. The translations can be listened to on audio guides and include details about the patrol boat Albatros and the submarine Delfín S-61. There are 30 audio guides altogether and the text has been written by students specialising in tourism who have been attending the town’s workshops. It’s also been professionally edited and checked by native speakers. There are nine languages covered including English, French, German, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Spanish. The decision about which

languages to include has been made according to statistics of the number of visitors and their first language. New materials have also produced to provide information in La Mata town hall. A touch screen is aimed at tourists and can be used to access descriptions of local activities and events in four languages including English, French, German and Spanish. The service is available 24 hours a day and cost €2,783. A contract is also in process for the renovation and improvement of signs around the town. The proposal includes the posting of information at key points such as at the market site, the sports centre and the fishing port. There will also be new signs along the paseos and in the town squares. Suzanne O’Connell

Advice on teenage addiction A series of talks will be held at the CIAJ building (Centro de Información y AnimaciónJuvenil) aimed at families with teenage children. The talks will focus on the addictions that can become a problem during these formative years. They will begin on 7th June from 6pm until 7.30pm and the theme of the first one will be addictive substances. The next talk will be on addiction to new technology and this will be held on Thursday 14th June from 6pm until 7.30pm. Entrance to the talks will be free and those attending will receive information (in Spanish) about how to spot the warning signs of addiction and what strategies to use.

New refuse service The cost of a new waste collection and cleaning service will be 80 million euros over a period of five years, it has been announced. The contract includes not only the collection of waste but also the cleaning and maintenance of different areas including the beaches. We are still at the beginning of the contracting process although the mayor was hopeful that it would be in place by the end of the year.The contract will replace the controversial contract with Acciona that was drawn up in 2004 by the mayor at the time, Pedro Hernández. This previous mayor has since been in prison as a result of the irregular dealings he was involved with. Acciona has continued to operate the waste and cleaning licence following the expiry of the contract in 2015 through two extensions. The service is currently operating without a contract as the local government try to regularise the situation.

Summer strikes Ryanair is facing a chaotic holiday season as cabin crew in Spain and across Europe threaten to strike during peak times this holiday season. Unions representing flight attendants across Europe are calling on the budget airline to stop using Irish labour laws and to adapt to the laws of each country where it operates. The unions are from some of the most popular destinations for summer holidays, including Spain, Portgual, Italy and Belgium.

Ryanair says negotiations are making progress, but Sitcpla, representing cabin crew in Spain, said the talks are ‘usless’ unless mediators adress and acknowledge their legitimate claims in writing. Spain’s USO union said: “If Ryanair refuses to meet our demands, and setting June 30 as a deadline, the unions will start all necessary procedures to mobilise at a European level for the summer, including calling a strike.”

apartments selling at €360,000 each. The building is a protected building and the company will have to meet different requirements if their project is to go ahead. However, there are additional complications to their application. The company does not yet have a licence to build the flats although it is already selling the eight homes which are expected to be built on five floors. In addition, the company has not fulfilled some requirements that were made in relation to the protection of the building 13 years ago. The terms of this will need to be complied with before additional licences are granted. In recognition of this, the company have finally erected some scaffolding along the façade but this only happened in January of this year. The flats are expected to be sought after as they are in abuilding which is considered to be of architectural interest. There are plans for there to be underground parking as well as a terrace with a swimming pool. Suzanne O’Connell

home delivery mobile phone App

Supermarket chain Mercadona has launched a new mobile phone App for ordering groceries online, compatible with Android and iOS. Users can enter their postcode to check whether delivery is available in their area, and can zoom in on ingredients labels to check produce is suitable for those with allergies. Regular customers will find their usual purchases pop up so they can select them easily. Deliveries have now been extended to hourly slots between 7.00am and 10.00pm, Monday to Saturday, and an instant chat service on the App and website is open from 7.00am to 10.30pm for queries. Mercadona promises maximum speed and temperature control for fresh

produce, and all deliveries are carried out by company employees on contracts rather than being outsourced to courier firms, so the chain can ensure it has full control over quality and efficiency. Minimum purchases to qualify for delivery are €50, plus a €7 fee for bringing the goods to customers' door. The App comes hot on the heels of the supermarket's website, newly created for home deliveries, but which is currently only available for Valencia. Mercadona remains one of very few supermarkets which offer online shopping or home delivery of purchases made in store – certain hypermarkets offer the service, but only for large electrical appliances, not for groceries.

The town hall of Torrevieja has now withdrawn its ban on bathing on La Mata beach following the recent man-o-war scare. The red flag had been flying on the beach since 19th May and around 20 examples of the poisonous jellyfish had been collected during that time. Now two kilometres of the beach has been opened again as the town hall are satisfied that the major risk from the Carabela portuguesa is now reduced. The man-o-war produces a very toxic substance and was brought to our shores by a northerly wind which allowed them to drift from the straight of Gibraltar where they are usually more in evidence. In other beaches in the town a yellow flag had been on display as a precaution although there had been no sightings of the Portuguese man o’war as it is known in English. Other areas that had been badly affected included Guardamar and parts of Alicante where closures had also taken place. Concerns about the presence

of this poisonous species were increased as there is no lifeguard service currently available. At this time of year people are beginning to venture into the sea causing concern that there would be no assistance available if they were stung. The Carabela portuguesa (Portuguese man o’war) is usually

found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has long tentacles which can deliver a painful sting and their gas-filled bladder floats on the surface while the rest of the creature is submerged. They are particularly vulnerable to drifting and usually when one appears there will be others in the region. They are often also swept onto beaches where their sting remains active. The poison is a

strong one and can kill large fish. It is rarely strong enough to kill a human but it can cause severe pain. The sting is caused by the creature’s tentacles which are usually around 33 feet long and drift below the surface. These sometimes become detached and can drift in the water making them hard to identify. The man o’ war has few natural predators except for the loggerhead turtle. Another reason why the loggerhead should be preserved. A sting will leave red welts on the skin which normally last around two or three days although the pain will have subsided by then. The venom can cause symptoms similar to an allergic reaction with a swelling of the larynx and difficulty breathing. There can also be symptoms of fever and shock. Medical attention is advised and young children are particularly susceptible to the stings which might cover more of the body. Suzanne O’Connell

Making the beach accessible

Torrevieja denounces Camps

A project has been underway for some time now to ensure that the wooden walkways to the beach are in a good state of repair. In addition, the council has been introducing wooden paths to enable access to beaches and sea for those with disabilities and needing to use a wheelchair.

A motion passed by the councillors of Torrevieja will see the politician Francisco Camps, removed as an ‘Adoptive Son of the City’. The accolade was given by the previous PP mayor, Pedro Hernández who himself has also served a prison sentence for corruption. The only difficult with withdrawing the title is there doesn’t appear to be a procedure for doing so. It is now down to the town’s administrators to find a way. The motion was agreed by all the political parties of the town with the abstention of the PP. Justifying their decision to abstain they argued that the title, given in January 2010, was not sufficiently important to take up councillors’ time. Francisco Camps was a PP politician who became the President of Valencia during the period 2003-2011. He was implicated in 2009 with the Gürtel scandal which later led to his resignation in 2011. The case has continued to be debated with a recent guilty verdict on May 24th finding dozens of people implicated in fraud, money laundering and other illegalities. This most recent judgment has hit right at the centre of the PP resulting in the no confidence vote for the prime minister, Mariano Rajoy. The decision of the Torrevieja councillors reflects this most recent move to purge the country of corruption. Suzanne O’Connell

Now the council has installed more than 150 metres of walkway along three beaches in the town for this purpose alone. The beaches of La Mata, Los Náufragos and El Acequión have all recently had the wooden ramps installed, enabling wheelchairs to pass along them. ‘We are one of the towns with the most accessible beaches,’ explained councillor Javier Manzanares who is responsible for beaches on the town council. ‘We are proud of our record in this respect and we have been working now for several days to make sure that the beaches are in perfect condition.’ The Acequión beach is not specifically recognised as an area for bathing but the council recognise that it is one of the most popular beaches and so have decided to include provision here too. ‘We believe that it’s very important,’ said the councillor, ‘that people with disabilities and older people have access to our beaches.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Project to build €8 billion underwater tunnel to Africa A project to build an underwater tunnel connecting Spain and Africa is back on after a Spanish government committee said it is still viable despite construction challenges. The submarine tunnel would be the first land link between Africa and Europe, measuring 38km in length and 475 metres below sea level. Spain and Morocco both want the tunnel, but the EU will have to provide serious funding. High speed trains would make cargo journeys between Madrid and Marrakech three times shorter.

Continued from page front page Nationalist Party (PNV) and the Catalan Republican Left (ERC). The situation is unprecedented in the democratic history of Spain, given that, of four such motions filed in the past, this is the first to actually suceed. The process is enshrined in the Constitution, but this is the first time it has been put into practice, and as such it is surrounded by improvisation and uncertainty, in particular given the fact that just eight days have passed between Sánchez filing the motion against the now ex-Popular Party (PP) Prime Minister Rajoy, and the ousting of the latter. A rapid transfer of power looks likely, after the PSOE chief took office on Saturday in the Zarzuela Palace, the official residence of Spain’s King Felipe VI. Now that he has been sworn in, Sánchez will have to announce the composition of his Cabinet, so that the names can be published in the BOE and the ministers can also take office. At this point, no one knows the composition of the future government, apart from the fact that it will be entirely made up of deputies from the PSOE. The Socialist spokesperson in

CostaBlancaPeople 5th -11th June 2018

Congress, Margarita Robles, stated on Friday that no members of Podemos would be entering the Cabinet. “I don’t believe that there is space for Pablo Iglesias,” she said, in reference to the leader of the left-wing party. “Although that will be a decision that falls to the Prime Minister of the government, and he has said that [the Cabinet] will be Socialist.”

The transfer of power will be quick, as has been the farewell of Mariano Rajoy, who made a speech lasting just 90 seconds to mark the end of his six-and-ahalf years in office. Reading from a sheet of paper after the vote in Congress, and with the emotion clearly audible in his voice, he said: “It has been an honour, good luck to you all.” No confidence Spain’s 350 deputies were asked the question: “After learning about the Gürtel ruling, can Mariano Rajoy remain the head of government?” Sánchez filed the motion last Friday, a day after a court found former PP officials guilty of embezzlement, tax evasion and other crimes in a

The PP itself has been slapped with a heavy fine after judges found that it had benefited financially from the corruption scheme, although the party itself never faced criminal charges. PSOE sources said that filing the motion was an ethical imperative regardless of whether it prospers or not. The PP has been struggling with a series of corruption scandals that have eroded its public image, and polls shows that a significant chunk of voters have switched to the reform party Ciudadanos, which has adopted a tough stand on corruption and Catalan independence. The website of La Moncloa Prime Ministerial palace has already updated its website, with the news of the appointment of Pedro Sánchez as Prime Minister featuring on its front page. The “Government” page has been changed to “Acting government.” On the “Prime Minister” page, the biography of Rajoy has been removed. In its place, Moncloa has posted a 46-second video featuring the first statements made by Sánchez to the media after being appointed Prime Minister. It also features two tweets: one featuring the news of Sánchez as the new Prime Minister, and another with statements from Rajoy giving thanks.

Orihuela Mayor denies false earnings The Mayor of Orihuela Emilo Bascuñana has hit back at claims he has been taking money for a job he hasn’t been doing. The Mayor claims the story is a ‘campaign to discredit’ him over a six year position with Valencian Health Department The story was published exclusively by el.diario.es and accused him of having taken a public wage from the Valencian Health Department in Alicante between 2007 and 2014 – but not actually going to work. The PP Mayor told the media this was “absolutely false” and that he is contemplating legal action against those responsible. “I’ve done nothing irregular, nobody is paid a salary month after month of they don’t do their job,” he said. Eldiario.es had claimed that Snr Bascuñana was paid 14 instalments of €3,973 per year for the six years he was assigned to the Health Department in Alicante, although it could not be confirmed he went to the office every day. The Mayor responded, saying that “some things leave a trace but others are harder to prove”. According to him he was advising the Health Department and working as a doctor at different health centres around the Vega Baja, a fact he said that “thousands of people he attended to can back up”. “I’m not the one who has to prove I worked, but others have to show that I didn’t,” he said. He put the “fake headline” down to a “smear campaign” by “someone who wants me out at any price”. He pointed out that the claims come a year before the municipal elections, a time when the PP has to announce a candidate. He also said: “It worries me and I

seriously question who and how this someone has had access to my personal data.” Before the Mayor’s press conference the spokespeople for the opposition parties - PSOE (Socialists) and Cambiemos – had demanded explanations from him. “It is a shame that Orihuela is being linked with corruption again,” said Socialist Carolina Gracia, who made the point that Bascuñana was supposed to have been “someone clean to repair the corrupt image” of the municipality. Cambiemos said the allegations are “extremely serious” if true, while Ciudadanos, the PP’s partners in the council, wanted to be prudent and here Snr Bascuñana’s explanations before doing anything. Juan Ignacio López-Bas said the Valencian Health Department was also being “accused of paying a salary for no work”. PSOE said that it will ask for explanations from the Valencian Health Department to clear up what happened.

Moves to regularise motor homes The issue of motorhomes parked along the coast line in Torrevieja is a controversial one. Now, the local government has voted to make changes to local laws to address this kind of tourism. Any new legislation will be drawn up in consultation with the association of motor home owners. Motorhome tourism is a popular option for those who like to move around the country, and sometimes even Europe, and this attempt to regularise it has already met with opposition. However, the motion was passed by Ciudadanos, Sueña Torrevieja and the PP whilst Los Verdes and IU abstained and PSOE and APTCe voted against. Areas where the vehicles are particularly noticeable include coves along the coastline and some car parks such as that adjacent to the Molino del Agua. Current legislation indicates that these vehicles can park on the street but must not ‘stay’ and should not set out chairs and tables around them for camping purposes. It looks as though any attempt to find solutions to how motor homes should be treated is likely to be fraught with difficulty. Not only are the parties split on what the right approach should be but also on whether there should be one at all. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The end of last week brought two important and apparently contradictory UK ecostats which meant the pound had a mixed reaction. First up was April's retail sales, which were supposed to have increased by a monthly 0.7%. It turned out that they actually went up by 1.6%, making the annual rise 1.4% instead of the forecast 0.1%. Then came a reaffirmation that Britain's gross domestic product did indeed expand by just 0.1% in the first quarter, in other words hardly at all. Predictably, sterling enjoyed a positive reaction to the retail sales figures and lost ground on the GDP data. Despite ongoing rumblings relating to Brexit, there was so much political drama elsewhere in the world that the pound has managed to emerge relatively unscathed, although the impact of the new trade tariffs from the US now need to be factored in, having taken effect today. The euro has been struggling due to the uncertainty in Italy. President Mattarella appointed Carlo Cottarelli as Prime Minister but made it clear this was a temporary position and another election could follow as soon as August. Investors are nervous that the next election could be fought along pro/antiEU lines, and that the president's intervention could strengthen the anti-establishment vote. Were Italy's next government to seek to leave the single currency, the EU would face much more of an existential crisis than it does with Brexit. The political situation has already sent Italian government borrowing costs higher and prompted Moody's credit rating agency to put the country on negative watch. Despite these concerns, euroland showed some resilience despite ecostats suggesting softer consumer confidence in Switzerland and Italy. Except for German retail sales, which increased by a monthly 2.3%, the Euroland

ecostats were not brilliant but the EC confidence measures were reasonably good and none of the other numbers was bad enough to get in the way of the euro's recovery after those initial wobbles. The swift retaliation of the EU to President Trumpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new trade tariffs likely to have an impact across the currency market and the euro may not be so quick to slough off the impact of however this trade war plays out. It was set to be a quiet week for the US dollar with the only ecostats available showing stronger manufacturing activity in the Fed's Dallas region and a 6.8% increase in US metropolitan house prices. However, President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to levy an import tax on steel and aluminium from the EU, Canada and Mexico has been met by furious criticism. It has sparked the very real possibility tit-for-tat tariffs on the US on a range of good. While Trump stated the move was made to ensure national security, his move was seen as not only protectionist but potentially, as highlighted by French President Emmanuel Macron in a conversation with Mr Trump the US move was "illegal".Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, equally firmly rejected the claim that his country posed a national security threat to the US. Nor is the criticism simply arising from the countries which will feel the impact of this move; House Speaker Paul Ryan, the most influential Republican in Congress, said the move "targets America's allies when we should be working with them to address the unfair trading practices of countries like China". This looks to be a story that will unfold in the coming weeks; it may have been a definitive move but both the fallout and any rollback on the initial position may take some time.

Now would be a good time to discuss plants that grow over the surface of the ground. Grass is exceptionally hard to grow in our type of climate, so an alternative can come in many shapes and forms. Just a few of them will be mentioned here. Make sure the planting of annuals, perennials, climbers and shrubs have all been done. Do not forget to continue to deadhead your plants throughout the summer. All plants/trees need to have water around their roots often, best early in morning and late afternoon/evening. As the fruit ripens, pick it, otherwise the wasps and other insects will get to them. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, as certain wasps will actually pollinate certain fruits for example the fig. However, fruit such as avocado are better off staying on the tree until such a time as needed for eating, as they can ripen very quickly in the heat and therefore go off. Vegetables should also have been planted by now as well as fruit.

Asarum (commonly known as Wild Ginger) Asarum originally came from Asia and have kidney-shaped leaves with small red/brown flowers. It has its nickname due to the rhizome not only smelling but also tasting of ginger root, but the two are not related.

Bulbine frutescens Bulbine frutescens is rather a misleading name, as they do not have a bulbous base. They are mainly dormant in the summer, blooming in the spring and then again later in the autumn although not as fully. They can be propagated easily through stem cuttings, which can be

planted immediately in a shaded area. They can build strong roots in only a couple of months with no extra care or treatment given.

Campanula (Bellflower) With over 500 species it would take too much room to go in to any detail of these plants but the basics are that their flowers are bell shaped, hence the common name for them, with leaves varying in shape but broader nearer the base of the plant and narrowing nearer the top.

Dorycnium hirsutum (Hairy Canary Clover) This is a perennial plant belonging to the genus Dorycnium of the Fabaceae family. It reaches an average of 20-50 centimetres in height. It has silver fuzzy leaves and the flowers are white veined pinkish-red. It flowers from May through to July August is a lovely time of year when so many different colours show up in the garden; even basic gardens like to show off with many bulbs and herbs showing their blooms. It is also the time to visit the garden centres, but check around your garden first and make notes of the types of plants you want, that way you will be able to get what is needed rather than pretty plants that may not take to your ground/soil etc. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO PETRA with Vivalia Travel Petra is always appearing on those top travel lists – the top ten places to see in your lifetime, the new seven wonders of the world. But unlike some places that top those lists, Jordan is actually fairly easy and not too expensive to visit.

Petra is always appearing on those top travel lists – the top ten places to see in your lifetime, the new seven wonders of the world. But unlike some places that top those lists, Jordan is actually fairly easy and not too expensive to visit. There’s accommodation ranging from tented camps to five-star resorts, there’s good public transport or it’s simple to drive yourself, it’s safe and the people are incredibly friendly (the first English phrase everyone seems to learn is ‘Welcome to Jordan’). So if you want to visit Petra, which is the best way? While there are plenty of companies which offer organised tours, it’s also an easy place to visit independently. Here are some tips: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT PETRA? The best time to visit Petra is in spring and autumn as temperatures aren’t so high and the crowds are smaller. The ticket office is normally open from 6am to 6pm in the summer and 6am to 4pm in the winter, and Petra closes around sunset. The quietest times are usually early morning and late afternoons. The site is also open at night on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the Petra by night tour. Tickets cost JD17 (£17/$24) and the tour starts at 8.30pm and finishes about 10.30pm. It’s really popular so it is recommend hanging back so you can walk down slowly and experience the Siq away from the scrum of visitors. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? You’ll be walking over sandy and rocky ground so walking shoes are probably the best bet, or sturdy sandals if you don’t mind picking the occasional stone out. There’s hardly any shade around the site, so a hat or scarf is a good idea too, and don’t forget to bring plenty of sunscreen. You see people wandering around Petra in all sorts of clothes – from full-on hiking gear to

vest tops and shorts, and I even saw one women in an evening dress and heels – but I felt happier covered up with a longsleeved cotton top and trousers (though it helped that it wasn’t too hot when I visited in November). HOW MUCH WALKING WILL I HAVE TO DO? Petra stretches over a massive 60 square kilometres so you’ll end up doing a lot of walking. But if it gets too much there’s are camels, donkeys and horses to do the hard work. A carriage ride from the visitor’s centre to the Treasury costs JD20 (£20/$28). It’s an easy 15-minute walk downhill though so you might want to save the ride til the way back up as that final slog up a sandy path after a day’s walking is a bit of a killer. There are donkey and camel handlers all around the site if you want a lift at any other time. The donkeys up to the Monastery and for the hour’s walk from the old city to the Siq at the end of the day are busiest, but there are plenty of them around so you should be able to negotiate on the price. There’ve been reports of some handlers mistreating their animals so do be aware of this and check they look healthy and cared for. CAN I GET FOOD AND DRINK INSIDE PETRA? Most of the hotels in Petra will make you a packed lunch if you ask the night before, and there is a line of stalls outside the entrance where you can pick up drinks and snacks like chocolate and crisps on your way in. Prices inside the site tend to be a bit higher so it’s worth stocking up on water. There’s a mixture of places to eat and drink inside Petra, ranging from Bedouin tea stalls and simple kiosks to cafés, and there’s even a full restaurant near the museum called The Basin where you can have a buffet lunch and a bottle of wine (though you might need a camel to carry you back after that!).

They won’t make the effort

How do I tell the kids?

I have been dating my boyfriend for four years. My parents weren’t keen on him from the beginning, and four years on they are still unhappy with my choice. I guess he’s not as dynamic as they’d hoped, as he isn’t very ambitious. I went to university and I know my parents wanted me to meet an academic. My boyfriend has been married, has two children, is 11 years older than me, and only works part time as he is in conflict with his ex-wife for access to his children. I don’t take him home much because of how my parents feel.

My husband has admitted to an affair, which I kind of suspected. He blames the affair on me for putting on weight after we married, and not caring about my appearance. He told me this relationship with the other woman was serious and now he is leaving and I need to tell the children about it. It’s breaking my heart to have to do this. Not only is he walking out on me, but he’s walking out on them too. He says it will come better from me, but I think he should tell them what he’s done.

I can perhaps see how your parents might be disappointed in your choice of partner. However, you are serious about him after four years and this is something that you need to reiterate to them. Perhaps if you were to get engaged with a view to getting married, they might have to come to terms with the situation. All of you should spend more time together, if you can. It might help.

If it were me, I’d probably ignore the gift list and buy something within my price range. It’s bad enough that wedding guests are expected to buy an highly priced item, or even contribute to the honeymoon, as one couple I knew had requested. This might be the done thing, however there is another alternative and you could suggest that a few of the Mums put together and buy something off the list.

Walk for Life Sunday saw hundreds of people descend on to Playa Flamenca Promenade to take part in what

meandered from the sea front and around Playa Flamenca before returning to the

their time for free. These included: Paul Michael, No Limit, Janelle, Samantha Curtis, Cindy

has become the main charity event of the year, the Walk for Life. Organised by Maria and the Pink Ladies the walk, now in its eighth year, raises money for Spanish anti-cancer charity the AECC. As always, people entered into the spirit of the event by donning fancy dress outfits in pink; pink wigs, pink bras, pink tutus....and that was just the men! There was every shade of pink imaginable from baby pink to bright fuchsia and every man, woman, child and even pets were dressed to impress on the walk. The walkers – and the odd runner – completed a 5k circuit, which

promenade. Each walkers received an event t-shirt and plenty of water to keep them hydrated. More than 400 people registered and even more took part in the walk as family´s were told not to pay for children to keep the costs manageable. The registration fee was 5e per person but many people completed sponsor forms or gave personal donations, so the total raised this year won´t be known until all the monies are collected and handed in. The walk was followed by an afternoon of entertainment as various local performers gave

Fitzpatrick and Johnny Lea. The event was compered by Stevie Spit and Simon Morton from Sunshine FM also helped host the day. The afternoon was a great success with the local community joining forces to support this worthy cause and many who didn´t walk still came along to enjoy some fun in the sun. All of the money raised will go directly to the AECC to help fund it subsidised Early Detection Programme and research projects. Since being formed Maria and the Pink Ladies have raised more than 385,500 euros for the charity.

once you’ve made the decision. This will benefit not only you but your loved ones too, as you’ll stop complaining on the amount of space, or lack thereof! 3. What Are The Negatives? Comparing your new home with your old one! Your current home has had years of your attention, so don’t expect your next one to be walk-in ready! You may have to get your creative cap on, and look at the potential your new home could offer you. Sorting through your personal effects and boxing everything up is a negative for some.

hen you have so many wonderful memories in your current home, it can be difficult to make the decision about selling and moving on. Some people struggle emotionally, whereas others struggle financially. Either way, there comes a time that you need to draw a line in the sand, and say to yourself, now is the time to make the move!

What Is Your Reason For Selling? Need a bigger home, a smaller property, a private swimming pool, or perhaps be within a community? What if it’s just to give yourself financial freedom? There are many valid reasons, you just need to identify which one best describes you. 2. What Are The Benefits Of Selling Your Home?

Maintenance of a home can be a deciding factor, whether a smaller or easier to look after garden is in your thoughts, this could be a huge benefit.

Age Concern’s Summer Fair

Volunteering with animal rescue

It’s 20 years since Age Concern in Torrevieja was established and the charity continue to celebrate with their Summer Fair on Saturday 16th June. The Fair will take place at their centre in Calle Paganini, La Siesta. Visitors will be welcomed from 10am and can enjoy a variety of stalls including those selling jewellery, clothes, cakes, plants, bric-abrac and mobility aids. The Fair will be reminiscent of a traditional village fete with a lucky dip, guess the teddy’s name and a tombola. There will be light refreshments available such as tea and scones and you can relax in the sun and enjoy the music of the Alpengold Oompah Band. Afterwards there will be displays of Morris dancing. The raffle prizes include a star prize of coach trips to the value of €200 with Rosa Tours. Other prizes include a BBQ grill, kettle and toaster set, bone china mugs, meal vouchers and many others. Tickets are one euro each and can be obtained from Age Concern’s centre or from one of its shops. If you would like to help out with the

The animal is not trapped in a cage so it can relax and be much happier while it waits for adoption. We have foster dogs with travel dates so you wouldn't be lumbered with an animal. Asoka provides the food, bed and lead. There are no vet bills." You could help at your local refuge. Walking the dogs and giving the animals attention. One morning a week would make a world of difference! His final point is the most important. "Please never shop for a new pet, always contact your local rescue!" Contact Nick and he’ll help you find your local rescue to help at! You can email him on paneuro99@yahoo.com for any advice about refuges and how to volunteer.

Stars come out For Stroke Victim Monday June 25th is a special afternoon at The Club in Quesada. When acts of fundraiser and entertainment agent Jax Lawson heard that her husband had had a stroke, they very quickly got together to put on a unique show to raise money to help him and Age Concern. Ian used to help Jax at many of her fundraising show for Afghan Heroes and all the other charity shows that she has organised over the years. However, in April Ian suffered a stroke which has left him without the use of his left leg and arm. Jax quickly found out that without the charities and a large network of friends and family being a carer and a victim of this awful condition is a very lonely and scary place. The show is being held from 2pm and has a glittering line up of acts that will never be seen on one show again. These include Ex Hot Chocolate lead singer Greg Bannis, Stars in their eyes Rob Lewis as Phil Collins, Paul Michael (top Pavarotti tribute) and Royal family favourite Lucinda. Hosting the afternoon is top comedy hypnotist Ed Temple. The proceeds, including the raffle and tickets will be split between Age Concern and Ian’s Stroke fund. At present Ian is unable to leave the house without an ambulance and two man crew due to his condition. Tickets are a bargain at €5 and are on sale now while stocks last from The Club, Quesada. Reservations are also being taken by emailing letsrockshowslive@gmail.com

Orihuela to Nature reserve to be inaugurate created in Bigastro botanical garden by the river

The activities to commemorate World Environment Day, which is today, Tuesday 5th June, start at 10:30am with the inauguration of a botanical garden at grove I-6 by the River Segura. The garden is dedicated to growing, researching, conserving and exhibiting different species of palm tree. In it you can find different varieties and examples from other countries, as well as plants of interest like joint pine, juniper, lavender and olive. “This garden is the fruit of an agreement with Miguel Hernández University in 2013 that could not be carried out until now when everyone in Orihuela can enjoy it,” said Councillor Miguel Ángel Fernández. The garden also has an watering system provided by the drinking water company Hidraqua. At 6:30pm in the Casino Orcelitano there will be a prize giving for the competition to photograph natural spaces in the municipality. After this at 7pm is the presentation of a book about carnivores of the Sierra de Orihuela, the first scientific work about the community of mammals in the area. Then at 8pm an exhibition of the 20 finalists in the photo competition will be inaugurated. The exhibition will be moved to the Fundación Caja Mediterráneo from June 6th-15th for everyone to visit and enjoy.

La Pedrera is to be preserved against building for everyone to enjoy as Bigastro town council starts the procedure to create a Nature Reserve in the area of La Pedrera and La Loma de Bigastro. This will enable the whole area of great ecological, natural and historical value to be protected in the future and avoid and type of threat from building, according to Councillor Antonio Meseguer. This natural space, which has also recently had its recreational area repaired, will have added attraction after this declaration. He said the council is trying to improve the town’s open air recreation, environmental appearance and educational offer, as well as its tourism performance. La Pedrera is visited by many people from all over the county of the Vega Baja, and the Town Hall considers it to be the green lung and a balcony onto the province. Meseguer announced they

hope to fulfil this objective before 2019. “It is important and we are going to work like a forced march to make this space protected, conserved and improved once the Nature Reserve declaration is obtained”. At the moment the Valencian government has the proposal on the table and now its technicians will have to visit Bigastro to define the area to protect and lastly, once they have compiled all the graphic material, it will be brought before the municipal council which has to give its approval to the initiative and make it official.

Lidl to scrap plastic bags by end of yer Supermarket chain Lidl has announced plans to stop selling plastic carrier bags altogether in its stores – even smaller transparent bags for weigh-your-own loose produce such as fruit and vegetables.

The German retail giant says it will replace five-cent plastic carriers with multi-use raffia bags at 50 cents, and recycled paper bags will be provided for loose goods. Raffia bags are plastic-coated, but recycled, and are hard-wearing and

designed practically for lifetime use, meaning they do not create toxic waste in the same way as traditional supermarket carriers do. At a press conference in Madrid this week, chief executive Claus Grande said this would come into effect before the end of 2018 – even though it would mean a €1.5 million dent in Lidl's takings. The company will see its income from bag sales fall by 30% as a result, but is 'committed' to the changes, says Grande. Lidl has already stopped providing plastic bags at its stores in the Balearic Islands. According to Grande, nine in 10 Lidl customers in Spain are in favour of the move. A European Union directive means member States are not allowed to sell lightweight plastic bags from the year 2020, but Lidl intends to go beyond these requirements, stopping at least a year early and eradicating all plastic bags, not just the light ones.

Be legal and safe on the water with Britannia Powerboat Training Being out on the water here in Spain is always great fun and an enjoyable way to spend your day whether it´s on a Powerboat or a PWC (Jet Ski). However did you know should you wish to drive either of these to conform to Spanish law you will need as a minimum an International Certificate of Competence.

Britannia Powerboat Training is a family run and officially recognised RYA (Royal Yachting Association) training centre based at Torrevieja International Marina. Paul Dorey, principal and chief instructor for both Powerboat and PWC (Jet Ski), heads the centre with fully qualified and legal professional RYA Instructors; offering you the best possible tuition to obtain your licence to be fully legal and drive either or both Powerboat and PWC (Jet Ski). The courses offered, which are delivered in a fun and non-pressurised way are, RYA Powerboat level 2 which is a two day course covering a variety of both practical and theory including, slow manoeuvring, rules of the road, navigation, chart work, weather and tidal knowledge, passage planning and much more which after completion you will have the confidence and experience to safely drive a powerboat up to 10 meters within your own limitations. PWC (Jet Ski) courses are a one day intensive, practical and theory course covering some of the above. Due to the difference in vessels the course covers less than is needed with the Powerboat level 2 but delivers the same safety,

confidence and experience you will need to achieve to obtain your RYA certificate. After obtaining your RYA Certificate you can apply directly to the RYA who will issue you with and ICC (International Certificate of Competence). Britannia Powerboat Trainings vessels are the most up to date currently available. For Powerboat level 2 training you will be driving a brand new Brig Navigator 610 rib which is the bestselling and the preference for both military and police forces throughout the world. PWCs (Jet Skis) they use brand new SeaDoo GTI 1300 with intelligent braking and reverse systems, again the most up to date models available. Paul said: “We are seeing an upturn in female and couples enquiries wishing to take these courses which we are very

happy to accommodate.” You can call Britannia Powerboat Training for any advice you require on any boating concerns you may have, they will be very happy to help in any way possible. Remember in the UK you do not currently need a licence to drive either a Powerboat or a PWC (Jet Ski). Spain has a very different requirement and the penalties will be at the very least a heavy fine or impounding your vessel or both.

EASTENDERS Jack is surprised to hear Ian bragging that he's had a date with Mel. When Jack confronts her, Mel admits that it was all a cunning plan to trick Ian and replace the stolen money from the club. Later on, as suspicion grows over how and why the money was stolen, Billy accidentally makes himself look like the prime suspect when he points out that it could have been an inside job. Woody also offers up a new clue by pointing out that the thief could have used the bottle that's been left on the bar. Meanwhile, Carmel puts a knife surrender bin in the community centre as a tribute to Shakil. Elsewhere, Sonia isn't happy to catch Stacey and Martin together, suggesting that their reunion will confuse Bex. Martin asks Sonia to protect their secret, as he and Stacey want time to themselves for a while. Also today, Kim thinks that the smell of Vincent's old aftershave is turning her stomach. However, when Kim feels the same way over her coffee, Denise suggests that she should take a pregnancy test. Kim is heartbroken after another failed attempt to get in touch with Vincent. Still keen for answers, Kim heads to see Phil – sure that his recent strange behaviour around her is a sign that he knows what's really going on. Will Phil reveal the truth? Meanwhile, Jack accuses Keegan of being responsible for stealing the money from the club. He also orders Keegan to reveal who was behind the other fingerprints that are on the bottle. Later, Keegan tells Jack that Hunter was the one who stole the money.

Elsewhere, as Kush urges Carmel to see a counsellor, Ian offers to support her anti-knife campaign. Also today, Sonia is heartbroken when Ted lets slip that he's seen Martin and Stacey having a passionate meeting in the shed. Sonia puts her own feelings to one side and asks Ted not to tell anyone about Stacey and Martin. Unfortunately, Ted has already told Patrick and Bernadette, so the news starts to spread all around the Square. Later, Stacey and Martin's decision to get frisky in his van backfires when they get caught by the police and a crowd gathers. Meanwhile, Kim takes Denise's advice and reports Vincent as missing to the police. Elsewhere, Carmel struggles at the community centre when tough questions are asked about her knife surrender box. Also today, Mel defends Hunter when Jack asks whether he stole the money. CORONATION STREET Determined to expose Rosemary as a fraudster, Roy enlists the help of Cathy and Audrey at the psychic event. When Rosemary takes the stage, Gail laps it up. Unwilling to listen to Rosemary's claptrap any longer, Roy slips out, going in search of evidence. Will Rosemary be exposed? Meanwhile, Rosie is thrilled with all her press coverage after the drugs bust, and even more so when This Morning call to say Phil and Holly want to interview her, Gemma and Craig. Elsewhere, Kirk agrees to accompany Sharon on a shopping expedition. When Craig announces that he's been ordered by his

superior to take part in the TV interview as it'll be good publicity for the police, Rosie is delighted. Meanwhile, back from their shopping trip, Sharon hands Kirk an expensive shirt and kisses him on the cheek. Having witnessed this, Tyrone warns Kirk that she's clearly got the hots for him. Kirk lies to Beth about where the shirt came from. In the factory, Alya announces that she's secured a huge order with MacNees. However, her euphoria is shortlived when Carla points out they haven't got the material. Soon afterwards, Adam advises Jenny and Carla that their only hope of hanging on to the factory is to claim that Aidan was of unsound mind when he made his will. Jenny insists they find another way, as Johnny would never agree to that. When Carla goads Alya over her handling of the MacNees order, Alya is furious. Telling Carla she can stick her job, she storms out. Alone in her office, Carla is overwhelmed with guilt and emotion. Meanwhile, Kate and Johnny clash over Aidan's funeral. Kate is angry at his wasted life. Elsewhere, Craig and Gemma join Phillip and Holly on the This Morning sofa. Rosie makes a late entrance looking a million dollars. As their families gather round the TV, Beth is annoyed, wondering where Kirk has got to. After the interview, a modelling agent approaches Rosie. Also, Sharon lures Kirk to Speed Daal, making out that she has a blind date and needs a bodyguard. Once there, she claims her date has stood her up. Kirk is oblivious to her lies. EMMERDALE

– against Browder’s investment firm, Hermitage Capital Management. Magnitsky was soon thrown behind bars under what many believed to be false charges of tax evasion and died in jail after spending 11 months in squalid prisons in 2009, amid claims he was tortured. Guy Verhofstadt, the European parliament’s chief Brexit co-ordinator, said: “Worrying that autocratic Russia can get democratic Spain to go after someone fighting to expose Putin’s crimes and those responsible for Magnitsky’s murder.” “Bill Browder’s rights must be protected,” he added in a tweet messaged to Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy. The arrest comes after Browder told MPs in March he believed the Russians would like ‘more than anything’ to arrest

him and ‘get me back to Russia and then kill me in the control of their own system’. The financier has been one of Russia’s most high-profile public enemies and was once branded a ‘serial killer’ by president Putin. A Moscow court in December sentenced Browder in absentia to nine years in a penal colony after convicting him of deliberate bankruptcy. His campaign for Magnitsky has had strong resonance worldwide. In 2012, the US passed the "Sergei Magnitsky Act" which imposed a visa ban and froze the assets of Russian officials implicated in the lawyer's death. The act became a symbol of prison abuses in Russia and strained ties with Washington. Then earlier this month, British lawmakers backed a measure to impose sanctions against people guilty of human rights violations in memory of Magnitsky.

British businessman held in Spain on Russian warrant A well-known British financier turned anti-Kremlin activist who used to be the boss of late anti-corruption Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, has said he was detained in Spain at Moscow's request. The London-based hedge fund manager, who was picked up in Madrid, has been battling with Moscow for years. "Just was arrested by Spanish police in Madrid on a Russian Interpol arrest warrant. Going to the police station right now," William Browder an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin tweeted. Browder also posted a photo of himself in the back of a police van but a police spokesman could not immediately confirm the arrest. The US-born British citizen has led a campaign in memory of his former employee Magnitsky. Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer working for Bowder, uncovered a £174m (199m euro) fraud – which allegedly involved Russian officials

PP politicians go straight to jail over Gürtel case Three top-flight members of the reigning PP party have been sent straight to prison following the historic Gürtel corruption trial, and the fate of another 12 is being determined. Luis Bárcenas, who was treasurer until 2009 – and who spent 19 months in custody at the beginning of the Gürtel investigations – along with former regional minister from Madrid, Alberto López Viejo and ex-mayor of

Majadahonda (Madrid region), Guillermo Ortega are all now behind bars following a five-hour hearing at the National Court today. The criminal section of the court said sending them straight to jail – even though the sentence is open to appeal was justified, given the number of years they will have to serve and the sophisticated and long-running financial and business network and organisation dedicated to making off-thebooks cash running into millions. Despite Bárcenas' release after his 19-month spell in Madrid's Soto del Real prison based upon his defence persuading a judge he was not a flight risk, it has now been decided he may abscond, given that part of the huge amount of funds he held – up to €48.2 million in Swiss bank

accounts – has never been located. He will go back to Soto del Real along with López Viejo and Ortega, and their fellow inmates include Catalunya politicians Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart – leaders of the Catalunya National Assembly (ANC) and Òmnium Cultural respectively – and former FC Barcelona chairman Sandro Rosell. Another eight could go straight to jail after a further hearing in the National Court, including Bárcenas' wife Rosalía Iglesias, sentenced to 15 years, just under half of that of her husband. Ringleader and tycoon Francisco Correa, sentenced to 51 years, could follow, along with his wife. Ex-councillor in Estepona (Málaga province) Ricardo Galeote, former accountant for the Gürtel racket José Luis Izquierdo, Correa's 'man Friday', Antonio Villaverde, ex-councillor in Majadahonda Juan José Moreno, former deputy minister for the region of Madrid Carlos Clemente Aguado, and ex-mayor of

Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), Jesús Sepúlveda – who is also ex-husband of former health minister Ana Mato – may be behind bars as we go to print. Four others have been ordered to report regularly to the court and have had their passports withdrawn – ex-MP for the PP Jesús Merino, López Viejo's wife Teresa Gabarra, Bárcenas' 'man Friday' Iván Yáñez, and López Viejo's accountant and legal advisor Pedro Rodríguez Pendás. Bárcenas has been jailed for 33 years, Ortega for 38 and López Viejo for 31, although the maximum custodial term anyone can serve in Spain is 30 years and it is likely they will be released a few years before this for good behaviour. All those involved have appealed to the Supreme Court against their sentences, which is the highest contentious court in Spain. They will have no further recourse nationally unless they decide to show their rights under the Spanish Magna Carta have been breached, which is an

issue for the Constitutional Court, whose role is limited to interpretation of the text governing the country. After this, they would have to appeal to the European courts.

In prision Three key Gürtel figures are already in jail in Valdemoro (Madrid region) – Correa's fellow ringleaders Pablo Crespo and Álvaro Pérez, known as 'El Bigotes', who are serving 13 and 12 years respectively for corruption linked to the Valencia stand at the international tourism fair, FITUR, held in Madrid every January, whilst exminister in Valencia, Isabel Jordán, went to jail this week. In addition to the custodial terms for the Valencia-linked side of the Gürtel case, Crespo – former secretary for organisation for the PP in the region of Galicia – has been jailed for a further 37and-a-half years, although 'El Bigotes' has been acquitted from any further charges.

Glamour at the Fashion Show

A very successful charity fashion show event took place in Quesada recently, hosted by Creana Phillips from Glamour Glamour Fashions. The event was hosted in late May by the new owners of JR'S Country Club in Quesada and what a splendid job they did too. With around 70 guests plus models and helpers - free tea, courtesy of

Avalon, was served to the guests and then a complimentary glass of cava just as the fashion show started - the show originally planned for poolside was moved into the lovely main dining room area due to the high winds. Photographs of the show were taken by Sassy Hicks and you will be able to see a selection of these on Glamour Glamour Fashion Shows Facebook page. The raffle at this event was for ECCH charity and â&#x201A;Ź167 was raised by Abi Johnson who was there supporting the charity and through local radio DJ Dennis Christian we were able to track down one of the prize winners who had left early. In case you missed it or if you just like lunching out there is a follow up fashion show with new stock coming in all the time on Thursday 7th June at Let's Eat in Benimar - please contact Let's Eat direct on 966 078 655 or you can email sueinthesun@hotmail.co.uk

Alicante buildings won’t withstand an earthquake The University of Alicante has warned that dozens of buildings on the coast of the Alicante province would not withstand an earthquake. A report has revealed that buildings on Alicante’s seafront that were built in the 60s and 70s would be very vulnerable in the event of an earthquake. Professor Salvador Ivorra, leading the research, said “The buildings are not going to fall, but they do need a technical revision.” The reasons for concern are the quality of materials used in buildings’ concrete structures and the fact that they are subject to wind, sea salt and were built at a time when

there was no enforcement of rules to safeguard buildings from earthquakes. The study looked at buildings of 15 or more floors along the Alicante coast. Researchers focused particularly on the analysis of the concrete used in building the apartment blocks. Professor Chorro said, “This issue is particular to the Mediterranean coast, and specifically Alicante.” The study was carried out by engineers and architects from the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Alicante, and have made the findings of the study available to the town hall. Professor Chorro explained that reinforced concrete

buildings of this type are designed to have a useful life of fifty years with current regulations. As they get to the fifty year stage, they will begin got have more problems. He also pointed out that many buildings constructed on the Alicante coastline in the 60s and 70s were created with ‘good’ materials at the time, but there were few durability requirements and even less seismic considerations. Also, depending on a building’s proximity to the sea and its exposure, the degree of deterioration may be higher or lower, leading to a considerable reduction in structural safety conditions.

Eagle owl rescued from Elche motorway Guardia Civil traffic officers rescued an injured owl on the motorway in Elche. The rescue took place early on Thursday morning on the A-7 when a member of the public reported seeing a potentially injured owl on the motorway. A nearby traffic patrol made its way to the area and managed to rescue the animal which had suffered a broken wing, presumably due to being hit by a vehicle. Officers rescued the eagle owl and handed

it over to Seprona, the environmental wing of the Guardia Civil, where it was later transferred to a special recovery centre in Santa Faz. The eagle owl is a species in danger of extinction and of a high ecological value. It is hoped that once the animal has recovered from the injury at the Santa Faz Species Recovery Center it will be returned to its natural habitat if they deem appropriate. According

to statistics from previous years, three quarters of the animals that are brought this centre are released at a later date.

Walk like a criminal Criminals may soon be identified at airports by how they walk thanks to British and Spanish researchers who are developing technology that identifies criminals by their strut or stride. The technology identifies a person’s gait, which can be used to instantly identify people as everyone walks in their own unique way. This system could soon be in place at airports just like fingerprinting and eyescanning technology. The technique uses pressure pads built into the floor, and has proven to be around 99.3 percent accurate at identifying people. Behavioural biometrics, like how you walk, your voice and your signature, are able to capture unique things about a person’s behaviour and movement. Researchers from the University of Manchester and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid collected the largest footstep database ever, containing nearly 20,000 footstep

signals from 127 different individuals. The study, published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), found that monitoring these movements could be used to accurately identify people. “Each human has approximately 24 different factors and movements when walking, resulting in every individual person having a unique, singular walking pattern,” said lead researcher Omar Costilla Reyes from Manchester’s School of School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. “Therefore monitoring these movements can be used, like a fingerprint or retinal scan, to recognise and clearly identify or verify an individual.” Researchers have already successfully tested their data in real-world security scenarios, including airport security checkpoints.

Crescendo International Choir Raising Funds for Worthy Causes Crescendo International Choir gave several concerts in the Costa Blanca area this spring, entertaining attendees with a wide variety of musical melodies while raising money for people in need in various local communities. On Friday, May 25, Crescendo International Choir members entertained residents of Casa Verde in Almoradi. Although this particular concert was not a fundraiser, residents seemed to enjoy listening to it, particularly the Spanish songs El Vito and Si Tu Me Dices Ven, with some people singing along with the choir. The residents also liked the Dutch song we sang titled, Ann der Amsterdamer Gretchen. This popular Dutch song about the canals of Amsterdam included solos by Jack Van Dam and Rob De Bruin. Among other songs performed were To Everything There is a Season, based on writings in the book of Ecclesiastes in The Bible, and Are You Going to Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel and Imagine by John Lennon. At Benijofar Casa de Culture, on Saturday, May 26th, Crescendo International Choir performed a fundraisingconcert. In addition to the songs already noted, two of the other songs performed were the Brazilian tune Balaio and The Girl from Ipanema, a song that refers to a popular beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. John Cloneysang a solo as part of the performance of this melody. Concert attendees, many of whom were Dutch, donated more than 200 Euros after hearing the concert. This money was given to Social Services of Benijofar to buy non-perishable food items for about 50 needy individuals and families in town. Claudia Frank and partnerBrian Helliwellhave volunteered for the last six years raising money for needy Benijofar families and going to the supermarket to buy food that is then distributed by a

social worker from the city of Benijofar. They also help provide clothes, shoes and school supplies to needy individuals and families in Benijofar. When Frank and Helliwell go to the supermarket to help needy families, which they doat least twice a month, they select one of each item they want to buy and then talk to the store manager about the actual amount of each item they would like delivered to the food pantry. In most cases, 50 of each item are purchased. Lastly, in April, just over 200 Euros was

raised at the end of a Crescendo concert at El Paraiso Café in Torrevieja. This money was split between two organizations supported by Dallas Myers, a choir member who recently passed away. They are Age Concern, a volunteer-run group for people over 50 located in Torrevieja, and the Heart Foundation of the United Kingdom. The focus of this foundation is do what it can to help end heart disease. For more information about Crescendo International Choir, see the web site www.crescendo-choir.com. By Nancy Klein

Here is Claudia Frank and partner Brian Helliwell. They are standing in front of some of the food they bought for needy families from money donated by Crescendo International Choir.

Useful and informative Neighbourhood Watch On Monday 28th May, San Luis/ La Siesta Neighbourhood Watch & Residents Group had their latest meeting held at Casa Ventura at 4.30pm. This month it was Councillor Carmen Morate and Eco Parque manager Sr Marco Guirao Bernabeu who attended the meeting. Together they explained to the audiencehow to use the ecoparque and the facilities that are available there. ‘Members were interested to learn about all the different products and materials that the ecoparque is able to recycle,’ explains president Doug Allen. Doug is keen to ensure that there is an official at every meeting who can keep residents informed about local issues. On this occasion Councillor Morate and Marco presented a slide show which included a range of different materials that are accepted at the ecoparque. These include car engine oil and even toxic chemicals. Old and

unwanted domestic appliances can be taken there and larger items such as mattresses. The slide show demonstrated how different items were broken down into their separate materials to make sure that as much of them is put to good use as is possible. The ecoparque is located on the Carretera Crevillente just outside of the town centre. It’s open from Monday to Friday 8am until 2pm and from 4.30pm until 8pm. Saturday’s opening hours are 8am until 2pm. Some recent events were discussed at the meeting too. Residents were concerned about the fire damage there had been when a stolen car was set alight nearby. There had also been a car break-in and tortoises stolen recently. The next meeting will be at 4.30pm on 25th June and local residents will be welcomed. This will be the last meeting for a short time with a break being scheduled in July and August.

Catalan premier paves way for end to direct rule The recently inaugurated Catalan premier, Quim Torra, has reshuffled his cabinet line-up, replacing four candidates under investigation for their role in the unilateral independence drive and paving the way for an end to direct rule in the region by Madrid. The move comes at a convulsed political moment for Spain, just 48 hours before Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy faces a no-confidence vote in Congress that could see him ousted and replaced by Pedro Sánchez of the opposition Socialist Party (PSOE). Article 155 can only be lifted once a new Catalan government is formed, so although Torra took office in mid-May, his decision to include people under criminal investigation in his government had met with opposition from Madrid, which refused to publish their names in the Catalan official gazette, Diari Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC), effectively preventing the new Catalan government from taking office. Torra, a hard-line separatist who views himself as a stand-in for ousted expremier Carles Puigdemont, had drafted a list of cabinet members that included Lluís Puig and Toni Comín, who are fugitives from justice, and Jordi Turull and Josep Rull, who are in custody awaiting trial over rebellion and misuse of public funds. The Spanish government described these picks as “a provocation” and said

CostaBlancaPeople 5th - 11th June 2018

direct rule would continue as long as Torra did not choose ministers unencumbered by criminal investigations. According to the new list, Elsa Artadi will replace Turull as government spokesperson, Àngels Chacón will be in charge of the business department, Damià Calvet will replace Rull as the chief of territorial affairs, and Laura Borràs will replace Puig as the minister of culture. Torra had previously chosen two fugitives of justice and two individuals in pre-trial detention, so the new picks will also improve the gender balance of the regional government, with six women holding 13 of the Cabinet positions. Torra had received widespread criticism for the lack of parity from opposition parties inside the Catalan parliament. By choosing different officials who are not wanted by the law or in jail, Torra will now be able to form a new government and end the application of Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution, which has paved the way for Madrid to take control of the region’s autonomous powers. However, tensions between the Spanish and Catalan governments are likely to continue. Torra has announced that the regional government will consider filing a complaint against Rajoy for preventing the publication of his original cabinet line-up in the regional gazette.

Horrorland theme park to open in Barcelona province A scary new theme park is set to open in the province of Barcelona this autumn to coincide with Hallowe'en and get visitors into the spirit of the season. Horrorland will be based in the disused waterworks and neighbouring warehouses in Cercs, a town around an hour from Barcelona city. According to promotional information for the park, it will be a place where 'nightmares become reality' and will include numerous attractions and rides with a 'terror' theme, plus 'challenge' or obstacle courses where visitors have to get through 'frightening' hurdles to reach the final. This will be the first Horrorland park in southern Europe – others in the series exist already in the UK, The Netherlands and Germany – and is run by the Catalunya-based companies Insomnia Group and Horror Box. Dubbed a 'scream park' – a word-play on 'theme park' – Horrorland Barcelona will open over weekends between 11th October and 17th November, for a total of 15 days. Prices and opening times will be posted on its website nearer the time.

Markets tumble and borrowing costs rise as Spain faces crises Ongoing political and institutional crises in Spain and Italy are rattling the markets and pushing up borrowing costs. Traders and investors appear increasingly jittery about recent events in Italy, where an interim Prime Minister has been appointed to lead a temporary government after the president vetoed a populist coalition’s proposed economy minister. The Spanish blue-chip Ibex 35 retreated nearly 2.5 percent in Tuesday morning trading following the announcement that, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is facing a noconfidence vote in Congress, even as his government struggles to deal with the crisis in Catalonia – where a new government is yet to take office as well. The Spanish risk premium – the spread between the 10-year Spanish government bond, and the benchmark 10-year German bond – reached 143 basis points before noon, before falling to 135, which was still 15 points higher than late Monday. In Italy, the spread between government bond yields and the German benchmark was above 300 points. During the toughest years of the

crisis, the risk premium was considered the test of an economy’s health and a measure of investor confidence. In 2012, Spain’s risk premium was in excess of 500 basis points, triggering fears of a bailout. The nervousness has also been felt in the stock markets, which took a tumble. The Spanish blue-chip Ibex 35 retreated nearly 2.5 percent in morning trading, dragged down by losses in the banking sector: Santander (down 5.8 percent), Sabadell (down 7 percent), Bankia (down 5.1 percent); BBVA and CaixaBank (down nearly 4 percent). All listed shares were in the red, and 16 out of the 34 companies included in the benchmark index lost more than 2 percent. Bank of Italy Governor Ignazio Visco has already warned about the risks looming over Italy if it does not honor its international commitments, and said that the country is just “a few steps away” from losing investors’ trust. His comments were aimed at the League and 5-Star Movement, whose joint economic program includes radical tax cuts, a citizen’s pay-check and earlier retirement.

Beat the hunger A rumbling stomach may seem like a normal part of your day, but if you're the kind of person who seems to always be starving even if you've packed a ton of snacks in your bag, then perhaps it's best to start considering all those sneaky causes behind your constant state of hunger. Dehydration, eating too fast, and lack of sleep for example, can really mess with your body, making you feel like you need to eat more than you really have to. If you are tired of the constant pit stops to the vending machine; here dieticians, nutritionists, and medical professionals give their opinions as to why you're probably famished all the time...and more importantly what your can do to beat it. You’re not sleeping the best Not getting a good night's sleep can definitely leave you with a serious case of the munchies, as Brooke Alpert, registered dietician said that being chronically tired during the day affects your hormone levels of leptin and ghrelin, which ultimately control hunger levels in the body. And even when you miss a few hours of sleep, Alpert said ghrelin levels still increase, causing you to feel a lot hungrier than usual. To avoid succumbing to any vending machine temptation throughout your workday, Alpert stresses the importance of getting at least eight hours of sleep a night. You’re actually dehydrated Dehydration is another surprising cause of midday hunger according to Alpert, as she said hunger and thirst are often confused for one another. Alpert also suggested that dehydration can also lead to fatigue, which is also confused with hunger, making it important to stay hydrated throughout the day as much as possible. You are constantly avoiding fats Fats definitely get a bad reputation, as we tend to hear more about than the bad then we do the good. With that said, Alpert said avoiding fat altogether only makes you hungrier, making it important to stick with healthier sources of fats like avocado, nuts, and coconuts. These food items tend to be more satiating and satisfying, according to Alpert. You don’t have enough fibre in your diet A lack of fibre in your diet may also be causing that annoying stomach

grumbling. Fibrous foods, (think legumes, grains, and nuts) usually help provide bulk and tend to have the greatest impact of satiety among food constituents. Americans are seriously falling short of their daily fibre goals, so it's important to power up on more plant foods. Adults can fit more servings of whole grains and legumes in the diet. Children can also include these as well. You are eating too many salty foods You may think that eating too much salty foods just makes you thirsty, but according to experts excess salt intake may cause thirst initially, but shortly after, your body actually starts producing and storing more of its own water. This forces the body to use a lot of fuel to break down muscle mass, fueling your hunger in the long run. To avoid any salt-induced munchies, he said to carefully limit your salt intake and try to consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. You are eating too quickly Eating too fast can be another surprising source of hunger, as he said hunger is usually regulated by a complex system of hormones that signal to the brain when you need to eat and when you need to stop eating. However, he noted the system, which tells your body that you have had enough food, doesn't exactly work rapidly. So, if you are actually eating too quickly, you may actually be full, but the body's signals haven't reached the brain yet, causing you to remain hungry and continuing to eat. To stop this simple food mistake, try slowing down and actually take some time to chew your food. You may be sitting in air conditioning too long Long exposure to air conditioning may be a cause of your hunger, as he said that there is a theory that suggests that air conditioning primes our body for overeating and weight gain. When the body is exposed to colder temperatures, he said that people tend to eat more as the body is trying to say warm. Of course, more research is needed to guarantee this is the case, but he recommended scaling back on the air conditioning and only using it when you have to. You're actually just bored Boredom can be another eyebrowraising cause of your hunger, as some people tend to reach for a bag of chips

when they have nothing to do according to nutritionists. To avoid any unnecessary eating, experts recommend creating positive feedback loops like organisation, meditation, or by practicing self-care. By nurturing other aspects of your life, she says you will create more oxytocin, which will help calm you down by helping to decrease cortisol levels, which can ultimately stimulate appetite. You are only counting calories and not considering what your diet is actually comprised of Constantly counting calories can also set you up for a constant state of hunger. Solely focusing on calorie intake can rob you of the nutrients which truly nourish and fuel your body. Instead of counting calories, experts recommend that people think of their daily food intake in terms of food groups. This helps ensure a balanced and varied diet. If people assign a caloric number to food, it doesn't provide them the whole picture with regards to the nutrient density of the food. That's why it is recommend that people think of their daily intake in terms of food groups. So there are the reasons, but how can you beat the hunger without piling on the pounds? Foods that are rich in carbohydrates cause your insulin levels to spike, which contributes to your body storing energy as fat. However, cutting down on filling staples such as bread, pasta and rice can leave you feeling constantly hungry. Follow these tips to stay satisfied while skipping the stodge. Water Starving and about to reach for the bread? You might just be thirsty. Our bodies often can’t tell the difference between hunger and thirst. Water also contributes towards your feeling of fullness because your stomach is never totally empty if you stay well hydrated. Take sips of water throughout the day so you won’t raid the fridge, and drink up before meals to feel more sated with your less starchy plate. Protein Protein causes your body to produce glucose, which sends a message to the brain to stop eating. Lean meats such as chicken and turkey should be a staple of your meals to keep you satisfied. Nuts are great for a quick fix – pecans are your best option for a low-carb snack. They’re also full of good fats that help nourish your brain and reduce inflammation. Fibre Fibre bulks up the volume of food you eat, which means you don’t have to eat as much to feel satisfied. Soluble fibre, found in abundance in most fruit and vegetables, plays a vital role in slowing down digestion, so your last meal will make you feel full for longer. Load up on avocado, broccoli and oranges to stave off hunger with maximal fibre and minimal carbs. Fat Eating healthy fats is crucial for losing weight, building muscle and feeling full – especially if you’re cutting back on carbohydrates. Oily fish contain high quantities of omega 3 essential fatty acids, which regulate appetite and keep you full for longer. Try anchovies, salmon, tuna and mackerel to keep the cravings at bay. Exercise It may sound strange, but working out can actually make you feel more full than lazing on the sofa. As you use your muscles, your body releases a protein that plays a part in managing appetite. By paying attention to how hungry you feel after hitting the gym, you’ll swerve the temptation to bulk up your meals with bread and potatoes.

AI better than doctors at spotting skin cancer A computer can beat even highly experienced dermatologists in spotting deadly melanomas, researchers report. The study is the latest to test the idea that "artificial intelligence" can improve medical diagnoses. Typically, it works like this:

Researchers develop an algorithm using "deep learning" - where the computer system essentially mimics the brain's neural networks. It is exposed to a large number of images - of breast tumors, for example - and it teaches itself to recognize key features.

The new study pitted a well-honed computer algorithm against 58 dermatologists, to see whether machine or humans were better at differentiating melanomas from moles. It turned out the algorithm was usually more accurate. It missed fewer melanomas, and was less likely to misdiagnose a benign mole as cancer. That does not mean computers will someday be diagnosing skin cancer, said lead researcher Dr. Holger Haenssle, of the University of Heidelberg in Germany. "I don't think physicians will be replaced," Haenssle said. Instead, he explained, doctors could use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool. "In the future, AI may help physicians focus on the most suspicious skin lesions," Haenssle said. A patient might, for instance, undergo whole-body photography (a technology that's already available), then have those images "interpreted" by a computer algorithm. "In the next step," Haenssle explained, "the physician may examine only those lesions labeled as 'suspicious' by the computer."

John from Los Balcones asks; Dear Aunty. We love your articles and find them very helpful. I don’t know if you have covered this one in past. How do you change the colour of the pointer from white to say black as my wife is always complaining she cannot make it out on white background I just have standard usb mouse. Aunty Says; Hi John. Type MOUSE into the search bar (bottom left) and a new windows will popup. You should then see an option on the right “Additional Muse Options” and here you can set all kinds of options. Lynne from Montesinos asks; Hi Aunty. I wonder whether you can help? I have Windows 10 and have a Hotmail account and an outlook email account but unfortunately some of the email folders have disappeared and the ones that are left have emptied. Is there any way these can be retrieved as the computer shop I have taken them to are having problems. Aunty Says; Hello Lynne. This is quite a common problem which can be caused when folk use more than one device to check their emails. It could be that the emails have downloaded onto a phone or tablet that you have been using. Another option is to logon to your email via the www.outlook.com website and see if you can see the missing folders. There are some online email recovery apps but they can be quite complicated so try these first. David via email asks; We have recently replaced our ageing HP Win 7 laptop with a HP Win 10 machine. We bought it here in Spain and paid extra to have it set up in English.

Our location etc. is set to UK. I got the hang of Win 10 and generally all has gone well other than a problem with HP Solutions Centre. We have an HP Photosmart all in one printer and I downloaded the drivers without problem, the download proceeded in English and installed and worked fine, but the very useful HP Solutions Centre has installed in Spanish. Not the end of the world but I would prefer it in English, as I use it a lot, especially for scanning and printer maintenance. We use Opera which has a VPN facility so I tried deleting the drivers, and HP Solutions Centre, and setting the VPN to the USA (there is no UK option) and tried downloading again hoping the USA ISP would fool HP. No such luck, it set up HP Solutions Centre in Spanish once again. I guess it is somehow identifying the laptop as Spanish regardless of location and language settings? To add insult to

injury, every time I load the Solutions Centre I get a pop up telling me that the Solutions Centre language setting is not compatible with the PC! There was no language option at set up so and I cannot find a language option within the Solutions Centre itself. Any ideas? Keep up the good work and thanks again. Aunty Says; You seem to have covered every possible angle David, the only things you could try is make sure all Spanish language options have been removed in region settings and maybe try a free UK VPN. The new version of HP Printer Assistant is designed to replace Solution Center so maybe give that a try. That’s all for this week, any problems then email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com

Spanish consumer group Google glitch shows user texts to sue Facebook over data sharing A Spanish consumer group said Wednesday it will sue Facebook over the alleged misuse of the personal data of 26 million users of the social network in Spain. In a class-action lawsuit, the group OCU said it will seek "at least" 200 euros in compensation for each Facebook user. The claim will represent "all Facebook users in Spain", not just those affected by the Cambridge Analytica data sharing scandal, in which the British consultancy obtained the data of millions of Facebook users for political purposes. OCU said it believes "Facebook violated legislation regarding data protection", because it did not tell users how it would use their data, nor ask for their authorisation. It said it had acted in coordination with other consumer rights groups in Portugal, Belgium and Italy which will file similar lawsuits in their countries. The lawsuits are the latest faced by Facebook, which counts more than two billion users worldwide, over its handling

of sensitive personal data that enable it to micro-target online advertising. A French internet users group said that it had filed a class-action lawsuit against Facebook and four other tech firms -Apple, Google, Amazon and LinkedIn -for the alleged misuse of personal data. Austrian privacy campaigner Max Schrems has brought several cases against Facebook and other tech firms in several European countries, arguing they were acting illegally by forcing users to accept intrusive terms of service or lose access. Facebook has admitted that up to 87 million users may have had their data hijacked by Cambridge Analytica, which worked for US President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg told a hearing at the European Parliament last week that his firm will make huge investments to protect users. He also said he was "sorry" for the Cambridge Analytica breaches, but also for its failure to crack down on election interference, "fake news" and other data misuses.

Google has issued a statement to address an unusual glitch in its Search and Assistant apps that made users’ SMS text messages appear when specific search terms were entered. Entering phrases including "the1975..com" and "izela viagens" into the apps made the phone display a person's text messages. The glitch was discovered by an Android user on Reddit, who described it as "the weirdest glitch I have come by". Google told the media that the issue

was caused by a "language detection bug" that was being fixed. Certain phrases were "erroneously interpreted as a request to view recent text messages". The company said the app could only display text messages if it had been given permission to do so, and it had implemented a fix that would be distributed within a few days. Just days prior to the glitch issue, Google was criticised after listing "Nazism" as one of the ideologies of the California Republican political movement.

Republican politicians were outraged on social media, saying that it was an example of conservative voices being suppressed or misrepresented by technology giants. However, Google said the information was pulled in from a Wikipedia page that had been "vandalised". "We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that's what happened here," the company said.

Wild at heart Jaguar Enthusiasts Club (JEC) members drove in convoy from the North Costa Blanca to meet up with other club members at Los Montesinos for coffee before proceeding on a run together. This was a planned leisurely drive around the wonderful blue lake (Embalse De La Pedrera) but it soon turned out to be more than members had expected as the big cats ran in a pride of sheer collective splendour leaving a

The Little Eye in the Sky During the May holiday traffic operation, the DGT set about testing another vigilance device, one small enough to fit in a briefcase, but powerful enough to monitor a larger stretch of road that ground patrols ever could, their very own unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or DRONES as we like to call them. The DGT currently has five drones: 1

Phantom 2, 1 Phantom 4 Pro, 1 Matrice 200 and 2 S900 units, with plans to buy another seven, as announced by the Director General of Traffic in a recent state budget. The drones which were put to the test have a range of approximately 500 metres, operate at a height of 120 metres and offer 2 hours of autonomous flight, which gives an immediacy to their

mobilization, operational flexibility and multipurpose use of the services to be provided. According to Gregorio Serrano, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incorporation of these unmanned devices to the aerial surveillance services of the DGT will contribute to better traffic management, greater protection for vulnerable groups (cyclists) and a better service in special operations, such as competitions for motorcycling, Paso delEstrecho or the device this weekend.â&#x20AC;? The DGT is accredited by the State Air Safety Agency as an operator of remotely piloted aircraft systems. Likewise, the Helicopter Unit of the DGT is a pilot training organization for the issuance of basic and advanced certificates for drone piloting. Meet the Drone Family The DGT currently owns two drones from the Phantom brand, the company renowned for selling the most vehicles to the professional community. The DGT has one Phantom 2 and one Phantom 4 Pro, which stands out mainly due to its integrated high definition camera, its recording mode with stabilizer and its positioning and transmission system with GPS. In addition, the WiFi connectionalso allows the Phantom drones to fly higher than others in the same category. There is also a Matrice 200 in the fleet, with high performance engines, coupled with 17-inch propellers, ensuring a stable flight in winds of speedsup to 35 km / h. The new dual battery system heats the batteries automatically on flights at temperatures below zero, and offers a 7 kilometre maximum operating distance, with 38 minutes of flight. The device is well insulated, ensuring resistance to water and weather, so it can fly in all kinds of environments. The downside, it is a much more expensive device than conventional drones. As for the S900, this is a simple flying device with much more power than the small and manageable Phantom, being the ideal option for those professionals who want to take to the air, with a camera attached, in the shortest time. It only offers 18 minutes of flight, but is ready to go in an instant.

The Braking System The most common infractions The vehicle´s braking system consists of a series of elements that work together to stop the vehicle. Every time the brakes are applied, the system works together to provide effective friction in order to slow, and hopefully stop, the vehicle. The braking system is fundamentally similar on all vehicles, however, there are significant differences in each make and model, a lightweight and less powerful vehicle does not have the same requirements to stop as a sports car capable of high performance, or a large SUV, which will exceed two and a half tons of weight in running order, for example. The manufacturer looks for the best compromise between the effectiveness of the brakes and the price of the set at the time of its development. If we want to improve its effectiveness, brands usually have the option of more powerful equipment, which also might well increase the price to the consumer. What it costs to brake by type of vehicle The braking distance depends on many variables: condition and temperature of the road surface, tyres, shock absorbers, weight plus load and, above all, the speed of the vehicle. In addition, it will not be the same in a compact car as an SUV, which almost doubles in weight, or a sports car. Types of brake: disc and drum Currently, the automotive industry uses two main types of brakes: disc and drum. Almost all cars and motorcycles always mount discs on the front axle, while the drums are used on the rear axle of the basic versions of the lower segments, the most economical ones.

The base, in any case, is the same, with the same components in the main system through a circuit that allows the force to come by the pressure of the fluid. The disc brakes have a disc attached to the hub of each wheel and are more effective and powerful, evacuating heat better. Its diameter depends on the weight of the car, its benefits ... and what we can afford. The drum system is more economical and, although it offers a greater friction surface, it does not have the same capacity as the discs and dissipates the heat that occurs with friction. The drum is attached to the bushing and inside it go the shoes, on which the pressure is exerted. Prices As in any maintenance work, the price is variable in each province or workshop. Brake pads. The pads can be purchased from about 15 euro, but the average cost of assembly in the workshop is around 105 euroin each axis, due to the complexity of the work. Discs. In the disks, the variations are more evident, because these are specific for each car model, and cost from about 180 euro, to which we must add the cost of changing the pads. Brake fluid. In the case of brake fluid, the average price is around 57 euro. Pipes. The pipes are not very expensive, from approximately 20 euro, but when replacing them you have to change the circuit fluid too. As the braking system is one of the most important safety systems in the car, caution must be exercised before attempting to perform any work yourself, leaving it to the professionals is often the best option.

committed by motorcyclists Motorcycles are an increasingly popular form of mobility, offering a fun alternative to the car, with benefits for the environment, for increasingly difficult parking places, of economic advantage, but also often resulting in drivers suffering some of the most serious injuries of all road users. That said, the choice is still a popular one, especially at weekends, and during holiday periods, but many riders are apparently unaware of some of the most common infractions committed, or the subsequent penalties. The penalty for acting carelessly on a motorcycle can cost between 10 and 30,000 euro as a fine, according to the experts of Multayuda, with the most common ones being forgetting documentation and not having complied with certain administrative procedures. To try to assist bikers in becoming more aware of their responsibilities, they should hopefully be better equipped for safer riding, at least that is the hope of the Wiquot company, who has drawn up a list of the most common motorcycle fines, including negligence such as forgetting when to renew the ITV or changing the tyres. The most common fines on motorcycles 1. Forgetting to carry a driver's licence. This oversight can result in a 10€ fine and must be submitted before 5 days to an office where the agents indicate. However, not having a driving licence can constitute a criminal offence, and so it is possible that the driver could have to spend a night in the cells until confirmation can be obtained. 2. Expired license. Not having

renewed the licence carries a fine of 200€. 3. Forget passing the ITV. This procedure is obligatory and not doing so carries a fine of 200€. Not only that, once the ITV has expired, the bike cannot be ridden on the roads until the ITV is passed, and so alternative arrangements, such as with a grua, must be made to transport the vehicle to the testing station. 4. Not having updated address changes. The correct driver's information must appear on the driver's licence. If you have not notified the changes to the DGT you can be fined 80€. 5. Not wearing a helmet. This carries a fine of 200€ and the withdrawal of 3 points of the driver's licence. In addition, in the case of carrying another person and it is the passenger who is not wearing a helmet, it is the driver who will be held responsible and sanctioned. 6. Not having renewed the insurance. The fine for this infraction can range between 601 and 3,005€. In addition, it will mean the immediate immobilisation of the motorcycle. 7. Chaining the motorbike to street furniture. Beware that parking next to a street lamp or a road sign, for example, as this can result in a 30€ fine. 8. Parking on pavements and pedestrian squares. You may only park on sidewalks that are more than 3.5 meters wide. Doing so in public places will be sanctioned with a 30€ fine and in any place that obstructs the passage of pedestrians has a fine of 200€. 9. Dirty number plate. As with cars, the fine can be 200€. In addition,

putting stickers or other type of ornaments in the licence plate is not allowed and carries a penalty of 80€. 10. Washing the motorbike in the street is prohibited and may result in a fine between 30 and 3,000€. 11. Refuelling inadequately. Putting fuel in the motorbike whilst the lights, the engine or the radio are on, as with cars, carries a penalty, in this case, the fine is 80€. 12. Parking on the sand on the beach can be one of the most expensive fines. For example, a parking lot in the sand of Roquetas de Mar (Almería) resulted in a fine of 30,505€, as it is a protected area. 13. Turning back. Stopping when passing a detour and turning back can cost 200€ and the withdrawal of 4 points of the licence. 14. Spinning or skidding wheels carries a fine of 100€. 15. Driving with worn tires is sanctioned with a fine of 200€. 16. Driving on the hard shoulder without cause is fined at 200€. 17. Driving without an appropriate licence. Holders of a full car licence may ride a motorbike up to 125cc. But driving a motorcycle more powerful or outside the scope of that permitted by the licence may result in a fine of 500€ and 4 points withdrawn from the licence, and another 200€ for the owner of the motorcycle. In addition, driving directly without a licence, such as never having held one or when withdrawn by the courts, may result in a prison sentence.

SAILING SAMM Racing Well, to be honest, after the previous week, SAMM racing seemed a bit boring on May 20th despite a good turnout of 15 competitors and 10 boats. The winds were quite light, for the start of the first race. No incidents occurred and the race was a case of follow my leader. The Topaz led from the start followed by the Hartley, a Laser 2000, Laser Radial, the second 2000, Quba, Deltania with the two Sailfish bringing up the rear. This order

remained unchanged for most of the race. The Topaz was the winner on corrected time. The second race had more wind and the both Laser 2000’s and the Hartley soon pulled away but, on the second lap, as they were beating from the start gate up to the first buoy, the wind shifted and whilst they had been forced on a long tack both the Quba and Laser Radial got a ride straight to the first buoy cutting the

corner so to speak and affecting the results for sure. This produced one of the closest results for many weeks once the handicaps were applied. The Topaz again was first but the following 4 boats were separated by just 10, 74, 2, and 6 seconds. For the first time in a number of years one of the two Deltania day boats in SAMM came over and joined the racing to be rewarded by two 7th place results.

I mean, really. After the week you’d just had, it probably wasn’t a good idea to go down as if you’d been shot now, was it Raheem? Raheem Sterling ended a week where he’d been forced to come out and justify a tattoo that was a tribute to his father, who was gunned down when he was two, by getting booked for diving at Wembley in England’s win over Nigeria. The S*n, the Telegraph and Good Morning Britain were already trying to work out how best to crowbar in the fact Raheem had turned up 12 hours late to training on Friday before he took a tumble in the area early in the second half. Piers Morgan, apoplectic at the thought of anything to do with guns,

despite supporting Arsenal (nickname the Gunners) and being friends with their mascot (named Gunnersauraus) had called for Sterling to be withdrawn from the England squad unless he removed the tattoo. I know Blighty is in a bit of disarray at the moment, but if Morgan has been nominated moral guardian I am glad I nipped off to Spain when I did. Morgan, because frankly he is bit a of an idiot, was then spotted smoking cigar after cigar and gleefully taking

photographs of this and whacking it on social media. FYI, Piers - smoking has been directly linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. Tattoos, as far as I know, have not. Well done. Personally, if the S*n could ever find it within their empty souls to do anything useful in the world, they would be better off trying to hound out that increasingly annoying England Brass Band who seem to go everywhere the England team play. Or, if the dark talk about Russian Ultras looking to attack England fans is true, can we put the band in the firing line first, then the drunken idiots that will no doubt embarrass us at some point? Gareth Southgate is growing on me, I have to say. Having watched England play very well indeed in the first half, he

clearly asked the side to be rubbish in the second half to dampen down expectations once more. Nigeria were awful in the first half, not helped by that much-over-rated kit they were wearing. Personally, I was struggling to make them out against the England players on TV and considering there were two incidents involving clashes of heads, it looked like the Nigerians were struggling to make each other out themselves. And then there was the constant booing of Tottenham Hotspur’s Dele

Alli. How dare he opt to play for the country in which he was born and has lived his life ahead of the country of his father, the man he hates. The game fizzled out like these games do, the last ten minutes at a walking pace that would not have been out of place in 1962. Still, in better news for some people, Real Madrid have called off their efforts to persuade Mauricio Pochettino to become their new manager. It couldn’t actually end up being Arsene, could it? So Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have both disappeared at the same time to start their managerial careers. Did they not learn anything from their playing days together for England? If one goes, one has to stay. Zero discipline being shown once more from these guys, both wanting the glory. The brief moments where West Ham United looked to be implementing a sensible, coherent transfer plan lasted

less than a week since Pellegrino was appointed. They are on the verge of paying PSG’s Javier Pastore a barrowload of money to come and play for them next season. Pastore, used to supplying the goals for the likes of Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his time in Paris might be a little deflated once he pings one in behind for Andy Carroll to amble on to. Oh, and Vincent Kompany, despite having a mattress with his name on it, has picked up an injury meaning he might miss the World Cup. In other news, water is wet.

The Oldies Gran Alacant Walking Football Club The Oldies Gran Alacant Walking Football Club was formed last August and after 37 weekly sessions played their first away game at Rojales on 22nd May. Our motley crew (as you can see in the picture) in their first ‘competitive’ match put up a spirited performance going down 8-3 to Rojales on their Astro pitch. We were only 5-3 down early in the third quarter but defensive frailties cost us three further goals. Mike with two and John were our scorers. A very fair referee who let no one get away with running except luckily our players! No injuries reported (including heatstroke or sunburn )and we all enjoyed the hospitality of the hosts in the bar after the game. Looking now for players for our next match against San Fulgencio on their astro turf pitch on 12th June. We cannot play these teams at home as we do not have an astro turf pitch here on Gran

Alacant. Our sponsored shirts looked good at the Rojales game, thanks to Gran Alacant Properties, GA Homefinders, Gran Alacant Advertiser magazine, Hispania, and La Paletta Restaurant. We play every Thursday afternoon at the Gran Alacant Sports Centre. We now have 41 registered players, some live here others have holiday homes on Gran

Alacant. Our ages range in the 60s and 70s with a few in their 50s. There is no running, no tackling and no physical contact. Come and join us. Ability means nothing. We are nearing 40 weekly sessions since last August. If you would like any further information, please email Barry on laneinspain@hotmail.com

Your Week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Whoa there, England. Weren’t you supposed to be one of the worst Test cricket teams in the world all of a sudden? Having watched Pakistan dispatch of Joe

There’s also the small matter of the French Open tennis going on and it’s worth pointing out that all British interest has come to an end, which is far from surprising. Kyle Edmund went out in five sets against someone I’ve never heard of but, if I am being completely honest, I’ve only recently come to know who Kyle Edmund is. There was another male Brit who nearly hung around long enough for me to take the time and effort to remember his name and Heather Watson crashed out in the second round, one round further than expected. A quick look at the men's draw tells me that Rafa Nadal is storming all the way to the Final and will probably win yet another Slam on clay but watch out for young Zverev. He is making steady progress and, dare I say it, is the future of men’s tennis. The women’s draw isn’t really that exciting other than the 4th Round grudge match between Serena Williams and

Virtual Offside technology to be used at World Cup It was 0-0 in the 21st minute of the group match at the FIFA Confederations Cup Russia 2017 between Portugal and Mexico when Pepe opened the scoring – or so he thought. The goal was disallowed, since the Portuguese defender was just offside when Joao Moutinho gave him the ball. The match ended 2-2. Offside decisions have to be made in a split-second, and they are also a question of perspective. Is the striker really closer to the goal they are attacking than their opponent when they receive the ball from one of their team-mates? The human eye can be influenced in its perception and come to a number of different conclusions based on which

Maria Sharapova. The winner of that match could well be the only real challenger for the number one seed Halep, and that is about as much sensible tennis talk as I can muster. Oh, this is interesting. Former Mo Farah aide Jama Aden could face prison over doping offences. But of course, legally, Mo consistently surrounding himself with people with a rap sheet for athletic doping offences the length of my arm does not mean in any, way shape or form there is anything to see here at all. Nada. Nothing. Move along. And don’t even think about looking in the direction of Chris Froome, either.

DIVISION 1: We have reached the halfway stage of the Summer League with the top two teams, Los Bandidos in second place at home to Franco Belgas Justin, which has always brought the best from both teams, today was no different, with the French Champions quickly of the mark with two morale-boosting wins, the Bandidos pulled one back in the Doubles. the Bandidos leveled the score at 2-2, Franco Belgas won the next game to regain the lead at 3-2. The Doubles were hard-fought games with the visitors taking the two mixed doubles, and 5 wins, the Bandidos Ladies won the final game leaving the score 3-5 to Franco Belgas Justin. An excellent match fought in a sporting spirit. The Falcons moved into third place with a resounding victory over Los Altos Diablos by 6-2, the visitors gave a good account of themselves, but the Falcons are much improved and looking good for the future.

San Miguel Golf Society This week found us at Altoreal just the other side of Murcia. In the past this journey has proved a little tricky for some members but today every one of our 37 players arrived on time, raring to go. A drizzle of rain early in the round didn’t affect the general playing conditions as the course was in good condition. The greens were a little slow but very receptive. The day warmed up nicely and the scoring was respectable rather than spectacular. Only John Osborne hit the magic 36 points which probably reflected the fact that the tees were well back. We always give a prize for last place on the day and this is sponsored by Gordon Wilson and GE Engineering – well today he won his own prize.

angle play is being observed from. The virtual threedimensional offside lines that are now available to the video referee and which will be used at the FIFA World Cup will provide greater clarity. They are calibrated, computer-generated lines which are projected onto the broadcast image of the field of play. The angle of vision, lens distortion and curvature of the field are all factors that are taken into account by the computer software which then calculates the true position of the offside line. This technology has been developed via numerous tests and validated by

independent third parties. The offside lines that are used are the best and most accurate ones that can be produced using several synchronised camera angles via existing technology. Offside or not?

LAS SALINAS PETANCA LEAGUE WEEK 7

Root’s team with less sweat than perspired against Ireland, there was talk of whether England should be even allowed to play Test cricket anymore. And then, bam. A 2nd Test victory by an innings and some runs. Who saw that coming? England had already bowled very well in the first innings, showing what a ridiculous decision it was not to pick Chris Woakes in the first encounter before a sparking knock by Joss Buttler, doing exactly what he was picked to do, built a commanding lead for England. Pakistan were then skittled by Anderson, Broad, Woakes and Curran all weighing in but also young Dom Bess. He can bat, now we can see he can bowl and did you see that catch? The next Andrew Flintoff, I am telling you. OK, maybe not but it is nice to see that gamble start to take steps in the right direction. England now play a lot of the shorter stuff before India arrive later in the summer for some more alleged five day action.

Quesada Bowling Club – results This week QBC Cheetahs hosted El Rancho for an evening match. The cheetahs won the singles and rinks and El Rancho held the trips to a draw on the last end. So the result was El Rancho won overall 7 - 5 points and 100-86 shots. Thanks to our reserves and to Derek Sale and Joe Riley for marking. The Lions had a wonderful result this week against a very strong squad from San Miguel Sheriffs. Some excellent bowling from all the Lions players produced a victory of 10-2 with shots of 112-73. Our squad was well supported by our two markers, Del Toozer and Derek Sale, and reserve Veronica Sale. The Tigers had a great 8-4 victory at La Siesta, which keeps them ahead of the pack in VCL division 3. Both Sandra Heath and Terry Morgan won their ladies and mens singles matches as did the rinks, skipped by Paul Parkes. Unfortunately both the pairs and trips narrowly lost their

games. Although our nearest rivals also won by the same score, The Tigers still have a sizeable lead at the top of the league. In the South Alicante Spitfire Division, QBC Lancaster’s played away to Emerald Isle Victors in a very tough match, with only 2 or 3 points difference between winning and losing on some rinks. Overall QBC won on one rink (Mel Highland, Tina Brunton and Jacqui Johnston) and drew on one rink (John Cleal, Martin Richardson and Abby Benson) . Overall result was Emerald Isle 11 points and 121 shots to Quesada 3 points and 86 shots. And finally, well done to Quesada Blenheims who have closed the gap in the race for the lead in the Spitfire Division and are now in second place, trailing by only 3 points. Following a very creditable performance against Vistabella Greenways the Blenheims took the match 10-4 with shots of 117 to 77.

The Members Golf Society After our visit to Las Pinaillas the previous two days, just 24 members signed up for a rare visit to the Mar Menor. The weather forecast didn’t look good but by the time we turned onto the back 9 the black clouds had disappeared and the temperature rose to the mid 20’s and this reflected in the scores. The course was in excellent condition except that the greens were a little slow after the recent maintenance; this actually suited some members while the lower handicappers

struggled a little. Congratulations to new member, Spencer Bayley scoring 35 points of 9 on his first game with us and also his visit game a Mar Menor. The 2’s pot contained €50 and with the tricky greens it was expected that this might get rolled over to next week’s visit to Altorreal, alas it was not to be, Derek Sullivan made a 2 on the 8th and Arne Kilnes on the 2nd, albeit a chip-in from some distance but they all count as a 2! Results; N.T.P.’s hole 2 T. Roed, hole, 8 D. Sullivan, hole 14 S.

Bayley, hole 17 L. Holmberg . Silver cat: 3rd P. O’Dowd 34, 2nd A. Goslan 34 on L/H L. 1st Holmberg 40 and a very nice cut. It must be noted that the Captain was still recovering from his “hangover” when he made an error with the recording of the results, it appears that when he is told 32 points it sounds like 34 points! Gold cat: 3rd S. Bayley 35, 2nd D. Sullivan 36, 1st O. Rong 37.Photo; N.T.P. Winners. Follow our Society at www.tmgs.org or via www.facebook.com/tmgsgolf

BROAD, WOAKES MOVE UP AFTER HEADINGLEY WIN • Buttler makes significant gain; Shadab gains in rankings for both batsmen and bowlers • Windies have a chance to improve standing in upcoming home series against Sri Lanka It was the turn of England’s fast bowlers to make progress on the MRF Tyres ICC Test Player Rankings, putting up a fine show that helped score an innings and 55 runs victory over Pakistan in the second Test at Headingley to finish the two-match series at 1-1. If player of the series Mohammad Abbas and left-arm bowler Mohammad Amir had made significant progress while helping Pakistan win the opening Test at Lord’s, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes have moved up the rankings after the second Test. Broad’s figures of three for 38 and three for 28 have helped him gain two spots and move to 12th place, the position on which he had started the series while Woakes has gained one spot to reach 34th place after taking four wickets in the match. James Anderson’s five wickets have helped him gain three points to reach within five points of top-ranked Kagiso Rabada (897 points). Among their batsmen, Jos Buttler is the biggest gainer, as his player of the match effort of 80 not out has lifted him 19 places to 63rd position. Opener Alastair Cook (up one place to 13th), Dawid Malan (up one place to 60th) and Dominic Bess (up 23 places to 92) are the others to gain. For Pakistan, Abbas and Amir have retained their 20th and 32nd places

respectively, while leg-spinning allrounder Shadab Khan has moved up three places to 93rd among bowlers and 22 places to 108th among batsmen. Fast bowler Faheem Ashraf (up 18 places to 98th) and middle-order batsman Haris Sohail (up two places to 77th) are the other gainers in the latest rankings. Seventh-ranked Pakistan could have swapped places with fifth-ranked England had they managed to win the second Test but the result means there are no change of places on the MRF Tyres ICC Test Team Rankings with England losing one point and Pakistan gaining one. In a series starting on Wednesday, the Windies play three Tests against Sri Lanka at home, with a chance to improve their position in the team rankings. A 2-0 or verdict could help ninth-placed Windies overtake Bangladesh while pulling Sri Lanka down from sixth to seventh position. Series scenarios: • Sri Lanka win 3-0 – Sri Lanka 97 points, Windies 64 • Sri Lanka win 2-0 – Sri Lanka 95, Windies 66 • Sri Lanka win 1-0 – Sri Lanka 94, Windies 68 • Drawn series – Sri Lanka 91, Windies 72 • Windies win 1-0 – Sri Lanka 88, Windies 75 • Windies win 2-0 – Sri Lanka 87, Windies 77 • Windies win 3-0 – Sri Lanka 85, Windies 79 Chris Woakes
