PUERTO BANUS is the chosen location for the 2015 edition of the Vuelta Ciclista de España (Tour of Spain) cycling race to begin on Saturday, August 22. While the exact routes will not be released until next year, Malaga Province will make a bigger appearance than in past editions with four stages of the tour taking place locally although one may end in Cadiz Province.
Puerto Banus was considered the perfect setting for the launch due to its beauty and prestigious atmosphere and won against nearby coastal towns Estepona, Fuengirola and Benalmadena which had also hoped to be chosen. The popular cycling event - won last year by Alberto Contador - will be officially presented on January 10 at Principe de Asturias auditorium in Torremolinos.

September record spend TOURISTS in Andalucia spent more than €1 billion during the month of September alone. This record-breaking figure brings the total amount of spending by tourists in Andalucia to more than €7 billion so far this year. The Andalucia region was second only to Cataluña in terms of tourism spending in September. The average daily spend of a
tourist in Andalucia was €101 per day and an average holiday spend was €1,089, up 3.1 per cent on last year’s figures. The figures, released by the Ministry for Industry, Energy and Tourism, also show total tourism spending so far this year in Spain has reached a record high of €50.6 billion. Minister for Tourism Jose Manuel Soria expects 2014 to be a
record-breaking year by the end of December. This rise in tourist spending goes hand-in-hand with the recordbreaking year Spain has experienced in terms of visitor numbers. Until the end of September this year, Spain welcomed 52.4 million visitors in what has been described as “the best summer of all time” by Mr Soria. Photo by Miquel Bohigas Costabella

Stunning pyrotechnics at Sant Narcis festival
O
NE of the most visually spectacular Spanish festivals of the year takes place in Girona this week. In a country renowned for its weird and wacky festivals - where people will do anything from pelt each other with tomatoes to build dangerously unstable 10-storey human towers - the Fires de Sant Narcis is probably the most striking, and loudest, festival on the Spanish holiday calendar. The highlight of the week’s festivities is the ‘correfoc’ - Catalan for ‘fire-run’ - a celebration featuring a cacophony of drum beats and exploding fireworks set off by revellers dressed as devils and demons. Fire crackers and stunning light

shows fill the Girona skies and streets all in the name of Sant Narcis, the patron saint of the city. Sant Narcis is celebrated each year with traditional Catalan customs, food, music and culture. Market stalls attract families, revellers and visitors keen to enjoy the biggest festival of the year in Girona. Malaga flamenco-electro band Chambao has already played as part of the Sant Narcis festivities this year, and more top name acts are pencilled in to keep the party going until Sunday. While some aspects of the festival are definitely not for those who enjoy their peace and quiet, it is nevertheless an unrivalled pyrotechnic spectacular.

Editor
Bienvenido little Ashya
W
E’D like to extend a warm Spanish welcome to the brave five-yearold cancer sufferer Ashya King and his parents, who arrived in Marbella this week. Little Ashya is undergoing further treatment at the HC Marbella Hospital in Andalucia, following an incredible story that has gripped both Spain and the UK. Brett and Naghemeh King triggered an international manhunt in August when they took their son from Southampton Hospital without the consent of his doctors, and brought him to Spain for treatment. Believing that proton beam treatment would be more effective than the radiotherapy offered in Britain, they came to Marbella but Brett and Naghemeh were arrested and held in a Madrid prison for three days, while Ashya was hospitalised
in Malaga. Thankfully, common sense prevailed and they were released without charge. His parents then took Ashya to Prague in the Czech Republic for proton beam treatment and he is now back in Spain where his condition is said to have improved. Cancer is a disease that affects so many families across the globe, and it is particularly upsetting when diagnosed in someone so young. Ashya has known little of a normal childhood to date and everyone following this heartbreaking tale can only hope that everything goes well for Ashya and the King family. Too afraid to return to the UK at the moment, they have decided to rest up in the quaint village of Casares where they have a home. We wish the Kings all the best during their stay – and beyond – and extend a genuine ‘bienvenidos to Andalucia’ once again.

Marbella Film Festival winner set for worldwide stardom THE award-winner at the Marbella film Festival, Ben Cookson (pictured front page, middle), who scooped the Best Feature Film Award has achieved the dream of a lifetime. His first full-length feature film, Almost Married, which was selected out of thousands and triumphed at the prestigious five-day festival, looks set to become a worldwide box office hit. The film, which he wrote and directed, has been given a distribution deal for the whole of South America alongside TV and DVD deals for the United States and much of Europe. An agreement has also been reached for the film to be
shown in the UK on one of the ITV channels in the near future. The award-winning, low budget film, which took four years and a lot of heartache to make, had a small release in March at 10 UK cinemas but it wasn’t until Cookson won the Marbella Film Festival Award that things began to take an upward turn. He said: “It was brilliant to win and a real shock. We weren’t expecting to win anything. A few days later we got an email offering a distribution deal for the whole of Latin America and that’s with the same company that distributed The Wolf of Wall Street and The Hunger Games over
there, so it’s great news. “Now we can call ourselves an ‘awardwinning’ team; it’s very good for the next films we make.” The successful moviemaker, born in Market Bosworth in the UK, used all the resources he could to make the full-length feature film. Many of the crew waived fees and, with limited funding, he only had 18 days to shoot it. Almost Married stars Emily Atack, best-known as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners, and Philip McGinley, who plays Anguy the Archer in Game of Thrones. Many congratulations to a worthy winner.

Ashya doing well and back on Costa del Sol BRAIN tumour patient Ashya King is back in Spain after receiving his final dose of proton beam therapy in Prague. The five-year-old had 30 irradiation treatments in a bid to cure his rare form of cancer. Doctors say he is doing well and will continue to be treated at a hospital in Marbella. His family have a holiday home on the Costa del Sol.
Ashya’s case hit the headlines when his parents took him out of a hospital in Southampton, UK, and went to Spain. They had consistently said they wanted to have him treated abroad as the UK did not offer the therapy they wanted on the NHS. Ashya was declared a ward of court and an international arrest warrant was issued for his parents. The family was finally tracked down to a hostel in the Axarquia. His parents were arrested and taken to Madrid for an extradition hearing while Ashya was taken into hospital in Malaga. After a public outcry the warrant was withdrawn, Ashya's parents Brett and Naghemeh King released
and the family flew to the Czech Republic for the course of treatment. Iva Tatounova, director of the PTC medical centre in the Czech capital, told the BBC: “Ashya has been very well. I don’t know if you remember the pictures when he was transported here - just lying on his bed in the ambulance. “Now he can sit on his own, he can play with the toys and his motorics improved dramatically. He can also react to his surroundings.” The advantage of Proton Therapy treatment over radiotherapy, according to the PTC, is that it limits the collateral damage. Vital organs, like the heart and liver suffer less damage, which has long-term advantages in
restricting severe side effects. Although the treatment is not available on the UK’s health service, the NHS has since agreed to cover the cost of the therapy.
Security drones in Malaga MALAGA city is to use military-style drones to help in the location of people, detect forest fires and also detect damage to buildings. The unmanned aircraft will carry cameras with thermal imaging and that can make recordings, in order to improve security in the city. An agreement has been made between the town hall, the University of Malaga and Aerom – a ‘spin-off’ company of the university – to use drones to help manage emergencies in the city such as civil protection and emergency actions. As well as beefing up security in Malaga city, the use of drone technology will help engineers to research security systems and risk-management. The goal of the project is to eventually have a fleet of drones keeping watch from the city’s skies. Operators in the control centre will be able to survey and make real-time decisions in any number of emergency situations.

Game of Thrones boost for Osuna HBO blockbuster TV series Game of Thrones is causing quite a stir at its
latest location, the historic Andalucian town of Osuna. Hotels are fully booked until the end of this month (October) when filming is due to end, and the tourist information office has extended its opening hours to cope with the influx of visitors. With regional unemployment standing at 34.7 per cent it is a welcome economic boost to the town, which saw a rise in visitor numbers months ahead of filming. In a sign of the huge popularity of the swords and sex fantasy drama, visits to the town rose by 15 per cent back in June on the announcement Game of Thrones was to be filmed there. It is an effect that has been seen in Northern Ireland, Malta and Croatia,
where the TV series has also been filmed, but the interest in Spain has been even more marked. When a Malaga based casting agency advertised for 500 extras, it was swamped with 86,000 applications and had to increase internet server space just to cope. Now Osuna town hall is looking to capitalise on the raised interest in the town and is considering creating a museum with a Game of Thrones theme. And in the mean time one local restaurant is making the most of it with a range of tapas inspired by the show's characters, including ‘The Joffrey’. The dish of trout with bacon garnished with mulled wine is named after the character King Joffrey Baratheon.

Multiple assets, multiple identities, multiple frauds - abuse of the system THE Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has just released a new campaign in the UK targeting benefit thieves in their local areas and reinforcing an ongoing effort to get back the millions that are taken from the tax payer - 82 million for last year alone for abroad fraud cases. There is no one ‘type’ of benefit thief, but the one thing they have in common is that they are all taking advantage and abusing the system. For example, Peter Fischer claimed over £85,000 (€107,885) in benefits using multiple identities. Not only was Mr Fischer claiming benefits while living abroad, he was also working in both the UK and Spain, where he had tried to operate a business, without informing the DWP. He also owned undeclared property in Spain. In July of this year Mr Fischer’s case went to court and he was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment and suspended for 15 months. In another recent case, 74-year-old Dennis Troubridge, who was living in Murcia while claiming benefits, was sentenced to 16 months in prison, in
BENEFIT FRAUD: New and improved methods are in place to target thieves. September of this year. Mr Troubridge had been living in Spain from 2009, and had claimed over £135,000 (€171,347) in benefits with the assistance of his daughter, Poppy Bowling. Ms Bowling
was sentenced to a Community Order for 12 months after providing her address in Dagenham as a benefit claim address for her father. She also dealt with benefit mail at her address and had
control of one of her father’s bank accounts allowing her to withdraw cash from one account and transfer it to an account he had control over. In both cases, the benefit thieves had been claiming Income Support, Pension Credit, Disability Living Allowance and Housing Benefits, all of which are not exportable when living abroad. New and improved methods are in place to target benefit thieves wherever they are and government departments are working together to catch anyone abusing the system. This also includes the traditional benefit fraud hotline, where DWP receives allegations from the public. The Spanish hotline [900 55 44 40] is free and confidential, and members of the public can call to report suspected benefit thieves in Spain. The line is open from 8am-4pm Spanish time.

When the country joined the single currency in 2002, there was €48.74 billion worth of pesetas in circulation. Most of it was exchanged for euros straightaway, but a sizeable amount was left outstanding.

Trace your family tree and value antiques at The Over 50s Show E
VER wanted to trace your family history but didn’t know where to start? Then you have to visit The Over 50s Show at Estepona on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday November 8 and 9, where internationally acclaimed genealogist Paul Gorry will appear and give two instructive presentations. Paul Gorry has had a lifelong interest in local and family history, dabbling in both by the age of 10. He was a founder member of APGI (the Association of Professional Genealogists in Ireland), formed in 1986, the accrediting body for genealogists in Ireland. Paul served as President of APGI in 2007-2009 and he co-ordinated the Diploma in Family History course at Independent College, Dublin, in 2009-2013. Paul has written extensively on genealogical and local history topics. He has been a frequent contributor to the leading genealogy magazine Family Tree and among the long list of his books is the bestselling Ancestors.
He has lectured at conferences across the USA and in Australia as well as all round Ireland and the UK. Paul Gorry said: “People often think that trying to trace your family tree is next to impossible.

Paul is one of many attractions at this year’s event. Eric Knowles, known to millions for his appearances on the BBC’s hit show The Antiques Roadshow, will be back to give free valuations of antiques and small collectibles. Eric said: “I appear at many events around Britain and abroad, but The Over 50s Show in Estepona is certainly one of the busiest I have ever attended and over the years it has produced some great finds, including a very valuable 19th century painting. I look forward to meeting as many people as possible and hopefully we will again unearth some potential treasures.” All the free attractions which have contributed to the success of The Over 50s Show, and made it one of the ‘must attend’ events in the Coast’s events calendar, will again be in the mix, including wine tasting, dancing demonstrations and lessons, pottery demonstrations, fashion and makeovers, consumer and legal advice, finance advice, and guidance on cosmetic procedures.
The event also offers the over-50s ‘a onestop shop’ to get information on their physical and financial health. Health and well-being will be a key element of the event, offering a variety of checks, based on the well-proven premise that exercise, sensible diet, and regular, routine monitoring slows down the age process. The Over 50s Show take place at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones, Estepona on November 8 and 9, from 11am until 6pm, with free car park and admission.

Muddy residue RESIDENTS were alarmed last week when greyish mud appeared in a rainwater channel on La Malagueta beach in Malaga. City workers and Guardia Civil’s environmental arm Seprona were called to investigate. Work to convert the nearby Miramar Palace into a hotel turned out to be the culprit but the building company said it was Bentonite, a non-toxic substance used in excavation.

The mother, who lives with the girl in Almonte, Huelva, had reported the child’s disappearance to the Guardia Civil, stating that she thought he would try and take the girl to Bulgaria. She gave details of possible travel plans and Sevilla, Malaga and Almeria police forces co-operated to find the bus the pair were thought to be travelling on.

Hola Credito helps a landlord with a facelift for apartment
Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender. In our weekly column we look at different financial products that Hola Credito offers - this week - a landlord uses Hola Credito to finance an apartment facelift. RENTING out second properties is a good way to supplement a family’s income, and here in Spain many people use long-term rentals as a way of making their property portfolio work for them. But sometimes, when a tenant leaves, and a new one moves in, rental cash flow can be a bit erratic. Recently Hola Credito streamlined a landlord’s cash flow by offering him a short-term loan whilst he redecorated the property and found a new tenant. “Our previous tenant had been in the apartment for a couple of years, and the general wear and tear from that meant it needed a bit of a facelift,” said the client. “Obviously whilst we were redecorating we weren’t getting any rental income, so were a bit short of cash. That’s when we turned to Hola Credito.” The client emailed Hola Credito with details of his Mercedes S-Class, and within 30 minutes had agreed a shortterm loan to cover the cost of the
apartment’s redecoration and the month’s lost rent using the car as security for the loan. “Hola Credito helped us manage our cash flow whilst we weren’t collecting rent, and paid for the apartment to be refurbished. The apartment looked so good afterwards we were able to increase the rent we charged!” One of Hola Credito’s huge advantages over other lenders is that it is able to operate with very low overheads, and therefore can offer really low interest rates, and act really quickly. There is no arrangement fee or other extras and Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) calculates interest on a day by day basis, so the client only pays for the number of days he has the loan. In this case, until the apartment was ready and a new tenant had signed the lease. Hola Credito is based in Puerto Banus and operates throughout Spain.

Dog beater agrees to pay fine and damages to avoid prison A COURT in Malaga has sentenced a 29-year-old man to pay a €6,000 fine and €1,200 in damages to his victim for an attack at the end of August. A neighbour stepped in to stop the accused from viciously beating his dog and found himself knocked to the floor, punched and kicked. When National Police officers arrived at the scene, the attacker tried
to resist arrest by fighting but was eventually subdued without injuring the officers. According to the court report the accused – who has a previous record – told officers: “It’s a very small world. Don’t worry, we’ll meet again.” Officers took the dog to a vet for examination, during which serious past and present injuries and
broken bones were discovered. The judge sentenced the accused to four months in prison for injuring his neighbour,
two months for mistreating an animal and four more for resisting arrest. To avoid going to prison it was agreed that he would pay a fine and
damages instead. The victim decided to pay for the operation needed by the dog – called Chocolate – but cannot keep him;
therefore, Malaga Animal and Plant Protection Society are appealing for anyone able to adopt Chocolate to contact them on 951 946 977.

Dealing with bad smells and leaks
IMPOUNDED: Inflatable boat used to drop drugs on Estepona beach.
Smugglers held POLICE and customs officers swooped on drugs smugglers who were unloading 663 kilos of hashish on an Estepona beach. It was the culmination of an investigation launched in March when police learned that a gang was smuggling in drugs from Morocco via the Guadalobon beach. Together with customs officers, police launched a surveillance operation which eventually bore fruit. At 6am a customs helicopter spotted the inflatable boat approaching the beach and alerted police officers. They waited until the bales of hashish were being
unloaded before closing in and making their arrest and seizing 12 bales of the drugs. Officers arrested two of the crew as well as one gang member on the beach and two more in waiting vehicles. After a search three more people suspected of helping unload the boat were detained. Police later arrested another five people at a finca in San Roque. All those detained were Spanish. Officers seized 663 kilos of hashish, 18 mobile phones, nine vehicles, a boat and €655 in cash.
COUNCIL workers in Estepona have been inspecting and cleaning 80 kilometres of sewers in an effort to prevent flooding, leaks and bad smells. To help in the work, the town council has taken delivery of a new pump truck to join the fleet of lorries used for the purpose of keeping the sewers clear. The current works have so far inspected and cleared 13,417 drains and gutters as part of a programme called ‘12 months, 12 neighbourhoods’, where workers spend 30 days in each area and tackle tasks pointed out by local residents as needing attention.

Malaga Pompidou to open MALAGA’S Pompidou Centre will open at the end of March next year and visitors can expect to pay around €6 entrance fee. Renovations to the ‘Cube’ in Malaga are expected to be finished by January 23, but the
transportation and hanging of artworks means the centre will not open until May 30 or 31. The satellite branch of the Pompidou Centre in Paris will exhibit mainly 20th and 21st century works by artists such as Picasso, Bacon,
Kahlo, Giacometti and Ernst. The final entry price to Malaga’s Pompidou Centre has not yet been finalised, but it is expected that it will cost somewhere in the region of €6 to enter and view the artworks.
Located in Malaga port, the ‘Cube’ will have around 6,000 square feet of exhibition space and is expected to receive around 250,000 visitors per year. Referred to as a ‘pop-up Pompidou,’ the main French Pompidou Centre will keep a close eye on how Malaga’s satellite exhibition space develops, as plans are expected for further ‘pop-up’ Pompidous around the globe in the future. The deal between Malaga and Paris is that the Malaga Pompidou Centre will operate for five years with the possibility of extending that time period. Malaga will have to pay around €1.7 million each year to Paris for services provided by the French museum including transport of the artworks and insurance.

Although the ‘low fire risk’ season officially starts on November 1, the long dry spell earlier this year means there is a higher risk than normal of fires burning out of control. Until Saturday (November 1) people wanting to burn garden rubbish first have to inform the Junta de Andalucia regional government. From Saturday until April 30 they only have to inform Mijas firemen in most cases. But if the fire is to be set less than 400 metres from a forested area the Junta still has to be notified.

€2 million inheritance for waiter A PALMA waiter has won a five-year battle to establish his identity and has inherited €2 million in the process. Esteban Marchena Garcia has claimed for years that he is the illegitimate son of a wealthy Sevilla landowner, and has now been awarded his slice of a multi-million euro inheritance.
The result of an affair between 17-yearold servant girl Encarnacion Marchena and wealthy aristocrat Juan Velez Utrera, the infant Esteban was not recognised by his father as he was illegitimate. Encarnacion was working on Utrera’s Sevilla estate when she gave birth to Esteban in 1955. His mother was forced to put Esteban up
for adoption because of lack of money, but later kept in contact and told him who his father was. When Utrera died in 2001 his estate was divided up among his three legitimate sons, and Esteban - seeking justice for his mother - started legal proceedings in 2009 for his share of his father’s fortune.
The 59-year-old waiter obtained a court order for the exhumation of Utrera’s body in order for DNA testing to be carried out, but the family had secretly dug up the corpse and had it cremated. Utrera’s three legitimate sons also refused to provide their DNA for testing to see if they were related to Esteban - who works as a waiter in Palma de Mallorca - or not. However a judge in Sevilla last week awarded Esteban his €2 million share biggest photography of Utrera’s fortune given competitions in the world. the ‘extraordinary obstrucAs patron of the Natural tion’ of the three brothers History Museum, Kate and the strong family Middleton attended the resemblance was enough prize-giving ceremony to prove Utrera is Esteban’s and posed with a smiling biological father.

Foreigners need not apply to fight fire or crime FOREIGN citizens are not eligible to become firefighters or police officers,
according to Malaga City Hall. From the current tender
of 30 firefighter positions in Malaga, 12 applicants have been turned down because they are foreigners. Only Spaniards will be considered for the jobs in a decision that has been labelled “discriminatory and against current legislation.” Under a 2007 law – The Basic Statute Law for Public Employment – any EU citizen can apply for a job in the civil service under the same conditions as a Spanish applicant, unless that job “directly or indirectly involves a share in the exercise of public powers or functions aimed at safeguarding the interests of the state or the government.” It is left up to each autonomous region or municipality to decide what jobs are
considered to be ‘positions of authority’, and Malaga City Hall has taken the stance of disregarding foreign applicants for the fire department and the police force as these jobs constitute positions of authority. In the case of Malaga City Hall, a 2001 plenary agreement says that positions with the fire department and the local police are reserved solely for Spanish citizens. Left-wing political group Izquierda Unida (IU) has called the decision “discriminatory and against current legislation” and said that the 2001 agreement should be repealed as it is older than the 2007 ‘Basic Statute Law for Public Employment’.

STAT OF WEEK SPAIN’S Synthetic Index of Export Activity (ISAE) registered 7.6 points between July and September, 15.5 less than in the second quarter. Despite this setback short-term export prospects are still good, the government said.
SPAIN’S theme parks have never lived up to their promise. Only Port Aventura in Salou (Barcelona, 1995) has been a consistent success. It had a €164.5 million turnover last year and profits of €9.96 million in return for a total investment of €1 billion. Isla Magica (Sevilla 1996),
PORT AVENTURA: Consistent success for theme park.
Board agrees FCC rights issue FOMENTO DE CONSTRUCCIONES Y CONTRATAS (FCC) announced an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for November 20. The Barcelona construction and services company whose investors include Bill Gates and George Soros expects to raise €1 billion through a new rights issue. This will then be used to repay its debt and shore up the capital reserves of units outside Spain. The announcement hinged on an agreement between majority shareholder Esther Koplowitz and the banks regarding loans tied to her holding in FCC which has belonged to her family for more than 50 years.
Koplowitz will cut her 50 per cent controlling stake to around 25 per cent to refinance her own debt which is estimated at €1 billion, according to insiders who asked to remain anonymous. The company now seeks to cancel the €1.35 billion payment-in-kind loan that was introduced as a temporary measure earlier this year during restructuring amounting to almost €5 billion. Assets have been sold and jobs cut to counteract more than two years of losses. These stemmed from the economic crisis and the collapse of Spain’s property as well as the insolvency of FCC’s Austrian subsidiary, Alpine.

In 2012, Barclays in Spain made no rectifications at all while Citibank complied with 1.3 per cent and Cajasur 2.3 per cent. Deutsche Bank was more compliant, rectifying in 61.1 per cent cases, as was Sabadell (51.1 per cent).
CHRISTIAN BERTRAND / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
Some major variations on a theme costing the equivalent of €85 million, has been on the brink of closing on several occasions and last year’s €2.1 million profit was its first ever. Terra Mitica (Benidorm 2000) cost €425 million of public and private money when the Valencian Community was in the grip of
the mega-million building boom. Last year it had a turnover of €14.44 million but made just €790,000 and will have a ‘make or break’ 2015. Other regions refuse to be deterred by such mediocre results and Murcia optimistically plans to open a Paramount theme park in 2016.

The secret art of a successful business SOME business owners see customers as sheep to be fleeced whilst others try to increase profits by maximising prices whilst minimising service. Balancing the books is essential to running a successful business. To get it right is an art form. We have all endured caferestaurants that have more in common with a workhouse canteen or dock road café. For some strange reason they think they can compete on price with restaurants offering real value for money. There is a Spanish saying; “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” If customers don’t

perceive the service as being equal to the bill they will not return. I once had the privilege of spending an hour or so with Pam Morgan, then the marketing head of Redrow Homes. Having started as a one-man business, she and her
husband, Steve, created Britain’s largest privately owned housebuilders. I asked Pam what she put down to the company’s success. “We built homes when others were building houses,” she told me. “These were basic budget designed and built with no thought for the woman or her family. Yet, ironically, the lady of the house is a far bigger influence than the husband when choosing their home.” “Those houses were boxes,” she told me. “I realised that minor changes to home fascias; a curved roof line, bay window, arched door, didn’t add to the building costs but added individuality.”
Pam went on to tell me that show homes of rivals had nightmare deeppile white carpets, anti-child tubular steel, and glass furniture. Electric sockets were at a minimum, no glory hole for toys and prams; “A coat rail? There wasn’t even a hook to hang an ironing board on,” she added.

Don’t let cybercrime drag you down - change your passwords regularly Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
OCTOBER is Cyber Security Awareness Month and while most recently the press have been running numerous reports about how some celebrities have had private pictures of themselves hacked into, what’s a lot more important than their nudity is ensuring that your money is safe online. Cyber crime is big business and it doesn’t just affect the rich and famous, every single one of us, regardless of the amount of money we have in the bank, is a target. Cybercrime comes in many forms online identity theft, financial fraud, hacking, email spoofing, information forgery, and intellectual property crime.
BIG BUSINESS: Cyber crime doesn’t just affect the rich and famous. It can cause a lot of stress for a victim, while at its worst, cybercrime can even lead to financial ruin. In the UK it’s said that someone is ripped off by a fraudster or loses money to an online crime, every two minutes of every day. Therefore learning how to
prevent such crime is essential. Keep a clean machine. Whether it is a PC, mobile device or laptop, make sure security software is current and up-todate. How many times have you delayed security updates when they pop up on the screen? Exactly. But remember that
having the latest software on all devices can be one of the best defences against viruses, malware and other online threats. Change passwords regularly. When changing your password, make it complicated, with a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Don’t use the same password for many accounts. By keeping various passwords you lessen the risk of multiple accounts being compromised. Connect with care. Be cautious when connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots and if you decide to purchase something online send personal information only to websites that are fully encrypted. Be aware of suspicious texts, emails and links. Unsolicited emails and pop-up ads can be full of computer viruses designed specifically to steal user names and passwords from your computer. Just for the sake of curiosity they are not worth opening. Close and delete dubious messages. Report it. If your identity has been stolen or compromised, contact your bank immediately.
Can husband be President? Q. Article 13 of the Law of Horizontal Property states that, ‘The President You and the shall be chosen from among the Law in Spain owners in the Community.’ In our list By David Searl the wife of the President is named as the owner. The Property Registry names the wife as owner and says: TITULARES ACTUALES: ‘Maria… Participación… Pleno Dominio para la sociedad conyugal, casada con Don Francisco…’ My question is whether a spouse can be classed as an owner and so be the President of our Community?

Oil find GENEL ENERGY has found oil off the Moroccan coast at Agadir, 200 kilometres from the Canary Islands. It is too early to make technical interpretations, the Anglo-Turkish consortium cautioned, and even if the quality and quantity of the oil were commercially viable, it would require up to six years to extract under good conditions.
Vice pays out A. The key to your question is ‘full ownership for the matrimonial entity,’ or ‘sociedad conyugal.’ If their partnership is ‘gananciales,’ they are co-owners. If their scheme is ‘separación de bienes,’ then only the wife owns. Most couples in Spain have property sharing. The husband’s name does appear. In the case of two or more owners, one of them must be named to exercise their Community rights. If they choose to name the
husband, then he can legally be President.

Low interest rates here to stay for home buyers HOME buyers in Spain can take advantage of historically low mortgage interest rates. In the UK the property market recovery has been encouraged by the low interest rates, and mortgages in the Eurozone remain at historic lows with signs that foreign banks are opening up more to lending to foreign buyers in 2014. “In Spain, for example, banks realise that foreigners are vital to the revival of the property market in certain areas of the country and are willingly offering up to 75 per
cent loan to value mortgages making it a cheap time to buy to qualifying applicants,” said there. “Using a broker, rather than Angelos Koutsoudes, Head of the Overseas Guides Company. going direct to a foreign bank, often will save buyers “Right now, rates in money as well as time Spain for a lower and stress. value mortgage are Speak to a “Not only will a typically between specialist good, English3 to 3.5 per cent, currency firm speaking broker pegged to the to avoid Euribor rate and guide clients financial losses updated annually through the higher LTV application process, purchases will get they will also have even better rates, as low as good relationships with 2 per cent. certain banks and frequently And in France, fixed rates be able to offer foreign clients start at around just 3 per cent, better deals than if they went

‘quality’ offices. Rents touched bottom in 2013 but have since risen 14 per cent to €28 per square metre a month. In the first half of this year office investment rose to €700 million from just €400 million in the whole of 2013. With not much development in the pipeline it is expected by Knight Frank that rents will continue to rise as the economy picks up and vacant quality office space becomes even scarcer. It is forecast that many companies which put expansion plans on hold during the recession will soon be looking for larger premises, particularly in the higher end of the market, which will also put pressure on rents to rise. Investors are being attracted by the fact that
property prices are still low, but quality office space is relatively scarce, leading to the prospect of high returns for those willing to bank on an economic recovery.

Construction growth increases IN a sign of ever improving prospects for the housing sector, Spanish construction figures are showing strong growth. Eurostat, the EU’s statistics office, showed construction production in Spain rose 22 per cent year-on-year in August and by 2.7 per cent month-on-month. That made it the biggest increase in not just the Eurozone, but the EU as a whole. Spain’s positive figure dwarfs the production in the construction sector in the eurozone, which increased by 1.5 per cent over the previous month. Eurozone construction activity accumulated two consecutive months of gains, and for Spain, it was the second consecutive month of increases.

Loan inquiries take a huge leap UK inquiries into obtaining a mortgage in Spain rose by a whopping 95 per cent between January and September of this year. The strength of the sterling against the euro has led to a 37 per cent increase on overseas mortgage inquiries yearon-year, and Spanish inquiries account for almost half of all inquiries, according to overseas mortgage specialists Conti. One pound currently buys €1.27 - the highest value for two years -

and this means that UK money goes further when purchasing a Spanish property. “When you combine the strong pound with the low property prices to be found in many European property
markets together with historically low mortgage rates, affordability is better than it has been in years,” said Conti director Clare Nessling. “With buyers’ budgets stretching that much further, the purchase of that place in the sun could seem even more tempting, especially when you compare the cost with overheated parts of the UK market.” Conti went on to say that given the current exchange rate between the pound and the euro, a €200,000 property in Spain is now almost £18,000 (€23,000) cheaper.

OPINION & COMMENT
Callous owners who abandon their dogs WE Brits can easily be misled when we see a stray dog wandering around with no collar, dirty, emaciated and unchipped. We assume it has been abandoned and out of the kindness of our hearts might be inclined to take it into our homes after having first taken it to the vet. Then we discover it belongs to someone who allows it to roam the streets in this condition and sees nothing wrong with that. This has happened to two friends of mine and indeed almost happened to me. I found a Labrador-type dog wandering in the middle of Turre a few months ago. It was terrified and emaciated, covered in mud and obviously pregnant. I bought a collar and lead for it and, as it was hungry and thirsty, gave it food and water. I waited until the vet was open and was about to walk it up there to be checked out when I was stopped by a Spanish chap who told me it was his and had escaped from his compound. He also said he wasn’t bothered about the dog and maybe I could have it after it had the pups. In the event both the dog and the pups ended up at Paws Patas. We now have another dog from Paws Patas and as she was left at their gates I suppose it’s safe to assume someone didn’t want her. Steve Clarke, Turre (Almeria)

I have been admitted twice to Malaga University Hospital Clinico in the last few months and each time I have been treated so well by everyone in A & E and doctors, nurses and cleaners. My sheets, towels and nightgown were changed every day. Floors and bathroom cleaned twice a day. As we all know, this helps towards recovery.

Quieten down I HAVE to wonder at people like Mr Gregory who like noise. Some Spanish people and maybe Mr Gregory seem to have hearing difficulties and talk at a volume that in any other race would be called shouting. All through the summer months I had tourists from elsewhere in Spain walking past my apartment block on the ninth floor at gone 2am and talking loudly enough to be heard a few hundred yards away. And drunks talking equally loudly till gone 6am. What is pleasant about such people who don’t give a damn about others? Obviously even other Spanish people complain about them rather than just a few Brits, as some noisy late-night places were shut down in Velez-Malaga a while back.

Mobility bullies READING Street Talk on the state of driving on Spanish roads prompts me to make the following observation on the use of mobility scooters. I am happy that the quality of life for those with mobility issues has been improved by the invention of the mobility scooter. In Benidorm there seems to have been an explosion in their use, and not just by those less fortunate. It seems to have been forgotten that the users of these scooters are still pedestrians. They frequent pavements and pedestrian areas which are, especially in Benidorm, heavily trafficked by walkers. Pedestrians travel at different speeds and have to patiently negotiate their way around slower walkers at opportune moments. The same should apply to mobility scooters. In the past weeks I’ve witnessed users sounding their horns, whistling, shouting and even knocking into pedestrians in order to get past. What gives them the right to do this? I am sure if pedestrians barged through other walkers or shouted abuse to clear a path they would soon feel the wrath of the law. Maybe the issue could be alleviated by making these scooters use roads and banning them from the generally slowermoving pedestrian areas. Nigel Lewis-Davidson, Benidorm (Alicante)
No sale GOING back a few months there was division of opinion in Your Say regarding Looky Looky street vendors. I now know how I feel about them after recently refusing to buy a bracelet as I enjoyed my morning coffee and read the daily paper. “No, gracias,” I answered politely.

Deals to protect the powerful? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
A
T the start of the Pistorius trial I forecast he would get six to eight years for manslaughter. Not far out was I? Around that time I also wrote there was an extremely big name ‘waiting in the wings’ to be brought up on historical child abuse charges. I was of course referring to Rolf Harris. Well now I can tell you there is at this moment another bunch of names facing the dock. A group that will only escape child molestation charges if, as is highly possible, there is a cover up of Profumo proportions to get them all out of it. Will these people receive their just desserts? I’ve no idea. What I do suspect, however, is that, as we speak, there is a veritable hive of hierarchy, whirling like dervishes to protect their backsides. The phrase ‘if I go - you go’ is probably being more bandied about than ‘bring down the deficit’ in certain high places at the moment. Watch this space - but don’t hold yer breath.

devious left-wing intentions. Communism, which runs on the premise that all men and women (and countries) are equal, simply doesn’t work - unless its participants are brainwashed into the marionettes and robots that dwell in countries akin to North Korea and China. This being the case, there is no chance whatsoever that the citizens of
GB are going to fall into the EU line. I also cannot believe that Germany could actually fail to envisage such an obvious outcome to the whole ill-fated scheme. When you ‘even’ everyone up you don’t lift them up to your living standards and way of life, you get dragged down to theirs. The more participants in this whole grand EU scheme, the lower all our standards are going to end up. When we’ve finally sunk to the ‘every country is equal’ level, we’ll all be working for two bob an hour with the EU hierarchy driving their limos to work in special lanes. Give us a break. Let’s get out while we can and reap the benefits of our free enterprise and sacrifices. I dunno, sometimes I really do despair of it all. Delighted we’ve finally pulled out of our war in Afghanistan. Any idea who won? Finally, when are these terrorists going to get into their heads that the more atrocities they carry out the more resolved the West will be to wiping them out? Let the hostages go. We have been known to respect a little compassion. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

HICH common courtesies have gone? A lot of them, according to Ilde Casanova from Park and Go airport parking at AlicanteElche Airport. He said: “When customers arrive we would open their doors, help carry their bags but that was not something the company had trained us or told us to do, it was just politeness and being helpful to people. But now the boss has installed it as policy and made all employees do the same thing; however, he shouldn’t have to, really, it should come naturally and I think that is a shame. Now, it is normal not to be necessarily polite or courteous.”
ILDE: Now it is more common not to be courteous

Manners matter Good manners cost nothing; it is the little things that matter. What is a common courtesy that nowadays people seem to have forgotten about?
STREET TALK Claus van Mierlo from NICLA Casas in Almeria said: “I think some people have forgotten how to be up front and honest in their dealings. They feel the need to tell a different story to change a situation when they could just tell the truth. It is impolite.” Paul Mentessi from Gold Rush in La Zenia agrees that courtesy is a dying form. “Courtesy in general has gone and I think Claus van Mierlo
the most obvious one for me is respect for people’s jobs and profession. Some question their position and have no respect, and I find that really disrespectful.” Nick Holland with He added that Stephen Lloyd-Morgan one nationality in particular had no common courtesy, finding them ruder than any others he deals with. things that are Nick Holland, Manager for well- important, but it is nice to get a thank known tenor, Stephen Lloyd-Morgan, you for making the effort. If we are said: “Please and thank you. Steve and getting paid, or it is a reciprocal I were only talking about this the other agreement, then that is a different day. We do a lot of work for charity, we matter, but it is nice. Manners cost love to help and get involved with nothing!”

HE Western Powers are now engaged in perpetual war. Few Britons or Americans have known a month when their country was not directly or indirectly involved in conflict. Rudyard Kipling, Britain’s greatest poet, who lost his only son in the First World War, was scathing: “If any question why we died, Tell them, because our fathers lied.” Disregard Orwellian mantras like ‘The War on Terror’ and similar smokescreens. Conflict is fuelled not by idealism but by pursuit of market share, territory and raw material. Global war is the most profitable venture of all man’s pursuits. Western economies are largely based upon armsrelated investment, raw material acquisition and profits. Britain’s history of piracy and pillage is abysmal. Of the world’s 200 plus nations, Britain has invaded all but 22 of them. There is not enough room to list the number of conflicts Britain has been
CONFLICT: The US economy depends on war and arms manufacture. involved in since 1945. The piratical record of the United States is equally grim. Since 1776, a period spanning 238 years, the US has been at peace for only 21 years. Henry Labouchere, Liberal MP and journalist, said: “We are without exception the greatest robbers and marauders that ever existed on the face of the globe. We are worse than other countries because we are hypocrites also, for we plunder and always pretend to do so for other people’s good.” The US has more than 1,000 bases
spread over 153 countries. They are not there to defend our freedoms. It is said that war and arms manufacture is not only America’s biggest industry, the entire US economy is based on it. The US spends more on arms than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, France, the UK, Japan and Germany combined. Most of us prefer the comfort of our illusions to the truth, which is, one supposes, understandable. The fact remains that we no longer have government of the people for the people but government by corporates for
corporates. During 2009 and 2010, household name oil, gas and coal companies spent $347 million (€274 million) on political campaigns and lobbying bribes. A profitable investment. Big oil gets a 5,800 per cent return on every dollar it spends on Congress. US senators who voted to attack Syria received 83 per cent more campaign money from military contractors than lawmakers voting no. Politician Dick Cheney has been cited as the most powerful Vice-President in American history. His arms manufacturing related companies made over $39.5 billion (€31.25 billion) US taxpayer funded dollars from the Iraq War alone. US taxpayers saw $2 trillion (€1.58 trillion) of their hard-earned cash spent on the war in Iraq. Ninety per cent of that money ended up in the bank accounts of 1 per cent of the population. You guess which 1 per cent. Britain’s parliament is every bit as corrupt. Only 0.7 per cent of Britons are millionaires yet 78 per cent of British parliamentarians and 50 per cent of Congressmen are millionaires. If you think such wealth is salary-based, you are likely to believe in fairies at the bottom of your garden.

Suspended for just doing their jobs Cassandra Nash
Safer choice
A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THE Gurtel corruption case sounded the death knell to Baltasar Garzon’s career as a judge. He ordered wiretaps of conversations between remanded prisoners and their lawyers, but for his pains Garzon was found guilty by his fellow judges of abusing his authority and was suspended for 11 years. Another judge Elpidio Jose Silva also heard the tocsin after twice remanding Miguel Blesa, the former chairman of Caja Madrid. The examining judge ordered Blesa’s arrest while investigating losses resulting from Caja Madrid’s purchase of a Florida bank in 2008. He also attempted to probe a Caja Madrid loan to Gerardo Diaz Ferran, once head of Spain’s Confederation of Business Owners. Ferran, whose
RODRIGO RATO: Is in the sights of the judge. businesses were all bankrupted, is now imprisoned for concealing assets and moneylaundering. He was also a Caja Madrid board member. Blesa was released from prison on both occasions, but Silva was eventually suspended for 17 years for ‘violating his constitutional rights and those of Diaz Ferran.’
BLESA’S successor at Caja Madrid, which later evolved into Bankia, was Rodrigo Rato, a former Economy minister and managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Rato, like Blesa before him, had practically limitless credit on a card that he was never expected to repay. He too is in sights of judge Fernando Andreu who set off the whole shooting works by investigating Bankia which later needed nationalisation and a €22 billion government rescue. Interestingly, former president of the Spanish government Jose Maria Aznar once considered naming Rato as his successor. Aznar instead chose Mariano Rajoy who was safer, sounder and never known for flashing the cash.
Blesa is once more in the news. Together with 82 other Caja Madrid and Bankia executives, he lived high off the hog with an opaque Caja Madrid credit card for ‘expenses,’ a euphemism for undeclared earnings. Once more he is under investigation but still at large. Messengers like Garzon and
Silva don’t get shot these days, but they do find themselves out of a job even - or especially when their suspicions are proved correct.
Own safety THE proposed Public Safety Law is feared only by “the
violent and criminals” according to the Interior ministry. That is not strictly true, as it is also feared by those who want to retain hard-won freedoms like the right to protest. Many of this law’s critics are unlikely ever to demonstrate or want to, but they know that restricting that right is the first step towards protecting politicians, not the public.
Hair today PABLO IGLESIA who heads newly-hatched Podemos revealed that he is after the centre vote, a seemingly impossible task. The politically disaffected and disenchanted made Podemos the third most-voted party in last May’s European elections. If he starts two-timing them he’ll alienate them without managing to attract the centre. Unless he cuts off his ponytail, that is.

Why we hate politicians ... and end up with those we deserve Nora Johnson

HE UK’s less than a year from a General Election but just look at the choice offered by the main parties! Is there anyone near the top in any party that you’d want running the country, let alone trust? Politicians these days regard their ‘job’ as an all-expenses paid hobby, with a few tedious interludes when they gather to barrack whoever’s speaking in Westminster that day and even more tedious surgeries when they have to pretend to listen to the plebs. There may be some honest, decent, conscientious
WESTMINSTER: Modern politicians lack real-world experience and can never say it as it is!
ones amongst them, but they soon learn what the party line is! Basically, modern politicians many lacking real-world experience - can never say it as it is, never use common sense and hedge everything (except possibly for UKIP’s Nigel Farage, which maybe accounts for his popularity?). Not to mention their peculiar way of talking (usually
‘down’ to the plebs) whilst trying to appear sincere - is there some elocution school they’re forced to attend? If so, Ofsted should shut it down immediately. Obsessing over focus groups, they’re forever promising something - anything - so long as they’re re-elected. How about proper governance in the first place, eh? All people want,
generally speaking, is a safe environment to live in, clean water, decent food and enough money to live comfortably. But so many politicians today simply don’t tell the truth or deliver what the people, who elected them, want. They have their own agenda, very often increasing their own self-worth at the expense of those they’re
supposedly ‘representing’ whilst simultaneously forcing ridiculous PC values on them. And in this age of political correctness, nobody wants to hear the truth and so politicians are only too happy to oblige by failing to address it - either by ignoring it or being ‘economical’ with it. End result: voter apathy and so we end up not with the politicians we really need but those we deserve. Speaking about truth, many thanks to all who purchased my recently published thriller, Landscape of Lies, following my piece about it here recently. Thanks also for helping my other novels, Retribution, Soul Stealer and The De Clerambault Code (available from Amazon) sell so well, too! And keep those great comments coming to my website and donations to Cudeca! (www.nora-johnson.com)

There’s no biz like J-Biz - Marbella networking with a spectacular ‘twist’ Viva Marbella... With
Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio IT doesn’t matter how good you are at what you do if people don’t know you exist. This is why networking works, particularly for small businesses. When you have the added benefit of networking in a defined, affluent area like Marbella, the results can astound you. Getting known isn’t easy nor is gaining people’s trust. This comes with time and dedication, which can be far more fun when combined with a networking event. If a group of people continually meet up it won’t be long before faces are recognised, friendships are formed and then, you’re off. Even the smallest of events can cause the largest of ripple effects; in Marbella you just never know who you’re going to meet and who they might know. The first step to take, according to Derek
Derek Barber at J-Biz Lounge. Barber of J-Biz Lounge, is to ‘dress up and show up’. Recently arrived from South Africa, it hasn’t taken Derek long to meet and consolidate an ever-increasing circle of ‘who knows who’ to introduce his J-Biz
Lounge networking concept into Marbella; not an easy task with the already established and fierce competition. Most important has been for him to become a familiar, welcome face and then deliver the promised ‘twist’ by pulling off something truly special to be considered a contender. This he most certainly did at his first event at Patisserie Café Viena, part of Restaurant Chagall at the Oasis Business centre on the Golden Mile, just last week. Firstly, thanks to Derek, Café Viena and Restaurant Chagall have now deservedly been pinned firmly on the local map. What a place! Who’d have thought that in the ‘white elephant’ area of the Oasis there is more than just free, easy parking? Next time you pass by, drive in because one of the most beautiful restaurant and lounge areas in Marbella, with delicious and exquisite Russian, Hungarian and Mediterranean cuisine and the most scrumptious pastries I’ve ever tasted, awaits you. If you then add to the event an MC, background entertainment provided by talent too good for background, Vin Doré sparkling wine with specks of 24ct gold,
raffles with great prizes and scantily-clad Brazilian dancers shimmering amongst speakers and guests, I can’t think of a more relaxed way to make contacts and do business. Attendees were also interviewed on camera to share with J-Biz members worldwide to further broaden horizons. A new standard has been set for networking events and having now revealed his ‘twist’, undoubtedly the next time Derek puts on a J-Biz Lounge event those who missed it this time will certainly want to be there. Those of us who were can give testament to the fact that there’s truly no biz like J-Biz.

1517: German theologian Martin Luther publishes his ’95 theses’ sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther had become angry about the church selling ‘indulgences’ and his theses attacked these and other papal abuses. 1605: The Catholic ‘Gunpowder Plot’ to assassinate King James 1 is foiled and Guy Fawkes is arrested. He was found guilty of high treason and hanged. Guy Fawkes Night in Britain is celebrated in November with the lighting of bonfires. 1890: London’s first deep-level tube railway opens between King William Street and Stockwell. It was the first major railway to use electric traction and later gave birth to the London Underground. 1942: The Second Battle of El Alemain sees Field Marshal Rommel disobey direct orders from Adolf Hitler and lead his troops on a five-month retreat during World War Two. 1952: The US army detonates the world’s first hydrogen bomb on Eniwetok atoll in the Pacific Ocean. 800 times stronger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the detonation allowed the US to temporarily move ahead of the Soviet Union in the arms race. 1957: The Soviet Union sends the first living thing into space in the form a dog called Laika on board the Sputnik II rocket. Unfortunately Laika died within hours from overheating. 1960: Penguin Books is cleared of obscenity for publishing Lady Chatterley’s Lover by DH Lawrence. The book was notorious for its explicit descriptions of sex. 1982: Channel 4 is launched in the UK. The channel was established to provide a fourth television station for the British public alongside BBC’s two channels and the single commercial broadcasting network, ITV. 1993: Under the terms of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Community becomes the European Union.

H ex a g r a m
During a single day, the town of Silverton, Oklahoma is ravaged by tornadoes that cause unimaginable death and destruction. With the town facing complete annihilation, groups of terrified townspeople, professional storm chasers and amateur thrill-seekers must keep on the move in order to survive. Into the Storm is from the ‘found footage’ genre of movie making, with events depicted from camcorders and cameras as if they are real. Directed by Steven Quale. Stars Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies and Matt Walsh. Run time 89 mins. Rated 12A. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) With a lot of pent-up energy and not a little determination the month is off to a strong start with you. Be aware, however, that treading on the toes of influential people is not to be advised. Your feeling that you are right is admirable, but be tactful. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) You of all people understand the importance of the spiritual side of life. Despite being successful in your own right there is the need to bring this to other people. In sharing your experiences this year you come to a better understanding yourself. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your practical streak is in full force. Over the next months you will bring much benefit to those around you, in financial terms perhaps, but also spiritually. This week, in itself, shows you how others value your presence and advice. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Your lot is to be optimistic and positive. Perhaps in the last few months there was the need to take on the problems of others. However, you absolutely must get a balance here. Concentrate this week on getting your body and mind in good shape. That means being a little self-centred to start with. A good routine is essential and the will to stick with it. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your very nature can lead to internal struggles. In the coming months, however, the truth becomes clear. What is outside of your experience now will become a part of your make-up. Any fear that you had of the unknown gradually diminishes. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There has been a very strong feeling through these last few weeks. This feeling has been one of spirituality. Your thoughts have been deeper than usual and the sense that there is more to life is acute. This, therefore, gives an impetus to everything that you do this week. The need to progress both on the home and business front has rarely been stronger.

Do you still want to follow that path? A need to get back on track can start this week. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It becomes clear to you that some friends are drifting away. We all have to make changes as life itself is a constantly shifting event. You prefer to hold on to what is familiar and you are not alone in that. At the moment, however, there is much for you to experience, see and feel.

TOP 10 CLASSIC HALLOWEEN MOVIES Given the week that’s in it, here is a list of 10 of the best classic horror movies to watch during this spooky time of year. 1. Halloween (1978). A must-watch during the holiday that bears the same name and sparked a franchise of 10 movies in total. The original tells the story of Michael Myers, a psychotic murderer who escapes a psychiatric hospital and goes on a murderous rampage through the streets of a small American town. This slasher movie was the film debut for Jamie Lee Curtis. 2. The Shining (1980). Stanley Kubrick’s psychological horror film about a family who move into a remote hotel in the mountains to look after it during the winter. Jack Nicholson plays the father who develops cabin fever and starts to lose his mind. Viewed as not only one of the best horror films of all time, but also one of the greatest movies ever made. Creepy stuff. 3. Psycho (1960). One of the most shocking films of all time, this Alfred Hitchcock directed classic remains a firm favourite of horror movie buffs. Anthony Perkins plays motel manager Norman Bates, a strange young man with an unhealthy fixation on his mother. When a guest of the motel goes missing, Bates finds himself the subject of much unwanted attention. The shower scene is one of the most famous in movie history.

A pact beyond the devil BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com
The king of horror, Stephen King, is back with a dark and electrifying novel about addiction and what might exist on the other side of life. When a charismatic new church minister - Charles Jacobs - arrives in town with his alluring wife, the whole town is mesmerised by this enigmatic couple. Jamie Morton strikes up a bond with the minister based on a
secret obsession but tragedy soon strikes the Morton family and when minister Jacobs curses God, he is banished from the town. Twenty year later, Jamie is playing in a rock band and addicted to heroin, stranded and desperate. He bumps into Jacobs once again and their bond becomes a pact beyond even the devil’s devising.
Spanning five decades, Revival is a must for Stephen King fans and fans of the horror genre.
HALLOWEEN MOVIES: Some of the most famous to entertain you.
4. The Exorcist (1973). When a young girl is possessed by an evil entity, a local priest takes it upon himself to try and save her. Based on the book by William Peter Blatty, the movie is not only famous for its shocking scenes, but also for the unforgettable soundtrack by Mike Oldfield.

5. The Omen (1976). An American ambassador in England discovers that his adopted son might possibly be the son of the Devil. Is Robert Thorn raising the anti-Christ? Full of memorable scenes and spooky music, The Omen is a firm favourite to be watched during the Halloween festivities.
Sudoku Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
6. Night of the Living Dead (1968). The original zombie movie, George A Romero’s classic tells the tale of the dead coming back to life and eating the living. A small group of people barricade themselves in a house and have to fend off hordes of brain-hungry zombies during a long and tension-fraught night.
7. Carrie (1976). Based on the Stephen King novel, Carrie still to this day has one of the best ‘jump-out-of-yourseat’ moments that will have you cowering behind the sofa. Sissy Spacek plays a high-school girl bullied by her classmates. Carrie - who has a rare telekinetic ability - exacts bloody revenge when she is pushed too far on prom night. 8. The Blair Witch Project (1999). The movie that inspired the entire ‘found footage’ genre of horror films. Three film students go into the ominous Black Hill Forests to investigate the local legend of the Blair witch. They soon find themselves cold, lost, and hearing strange noises during the night. Disappearing without a trace, they leave only their footage behind. Many viewers thought they were watching actual real footage, adding to the infamy of The Blair Witch Project. 9. An American Werewolf in London (1981). The best werewolf movie ever made and featuring amazing special effects for its time. Directed by John Landis (who also directed Michael Jackson’s Thriller video), the story tells of two American backpackers who are attacked by a strange beast on an English moor. One of them survives, but soon finds himself feeling very strange indeed whenever there is a full moon. A great mix of comedy and horror. 10. The Thing (1982). John Carpenter’s stark and spooky tale about a group of scientists in the Antarctic who find themselves being stalked by a shape-shifting alien that can assume human form. Fraught with tension throughout, just who is real and who isn’t who they claim to be?
Boggled How many English words can you find in the Boggled grid, according to the following rules? The letters must be adjoining in a ‘chain’. They can be adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Words must contain at least four letters and may include singular and plural or other derived forms.

Day of the operation - time to get my compression socks on Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving
19th
SEPTEMBER: operation day. I was booked in for the second slot of the morning which gave me time to have a shower, get my compression socks on and to look longingly at my room-mate’s breakfast. No food for me! Then I was wheeled down to the radiology section where they inserted a metal wire or ‘harpoon’ as the Spanish refer to it, into the tumour in my breast as it was difficult to find and the surgeon wanted to have it perfectly located in order to operate. Then I had a mammogram with said harpoon in, which was not the most pleasant experience I have ever had but was over quickly and made much better by the fabulous medical team. By the end of the experience I had given an English lesson to one of them, promised to have tea with another’s children and
told them about my life abroad to encourage them to travel and told them how lucky I was to have the doctor that I had… because in his own words he was much easier on the eye than the other specialist! Just the Spanish way of relaxing you. I was then whisked back up to my room and shortly after, they came for me to transport me down to surgery. It felt like the films; lights flashed above my head and the nurse complained that whoever had designed the bed had given little thought to dimensions as we scraped through doorways and into lifts. She was an expert and manoeuvred me around well until I was in a holding area where I was wished luck by my loved one. Once inside I was asked all the pertinent questions by my anaesthetist and then wheeled into surgery. After a few deep breaths with the mask on, I was under. The operation lasted about three hours. Seventeen lymph nodes were removed from my right armpit, the tumour in my breast and additional
micro tumours that had not shown up on the mammogram, but were regarded as suspicious by my surgeon. I came to, felt cold but in quite good shape and was given an update by my surgeon and then taken back to my room. The rest of the day was spent feeling ravenous, but after having some tea and biscuits and holding that down well, I was given lunch. Some people react badly to the anaesthetic If you have any procedures in Spain, remember that their timetable is different.
and are very ill when they first eat. Not me! If they hadn’t given me lunch I was going to nip down to the hospital café and grab a sandwich… either that or start eating my bed sheets. Thirty-six hours without food is not ideal! The ensuing days were spent looking forward to
visitors, lots of cakes, chocolates and flowers, meal times and general updates on my progress. The nurses changed my dressings and controlled the two drainage globes to check the levels were dropping. The drains were the most awkward things as it made it difficult to shower, as the bandages had to be kept dry and I had to be careful that the drains did not come out. I wasn’t in a great deal of pain, but the staples in my armpit were uncomfortable. Being bored and in need of a pen to do a crossword I went down to the shop in the entrance of the hospital. I was shooed back upstairs as I really shouldn’t have been down there, but I was a little fed up with the circuit on my ward. I think it essential to carry on as normally as possible. It’s what the Brits do, isn’t it? Keep calm and carry on. I insisted they took my drip out the day after my operation and didn’t take any more painkillers. I got up and moving about as soon as possible. I got to know the staff well and enjoyed joking with them and they even kept my surplus of cakes in
their fridge. I can’t speak highly enough of the care I received. People often complain about the service in general in Spain, but if you are respectful and polite, they are the kindest and most helpful people you could ever wish to meet. The most amusing thing for me was being woken up in the middle of a blissful sleep and being asked if I wanted a sleeping tablet at 11.30 at night. If you have any procedures in Spain remember that their timetable is different. They come round with tea at 11pm! Finally one drain was removed and the other was left in. I had had enough of hospital and opted to go home. The doctor gave me the ‘alta’ or permission to go home. This gave me a huge boost. I was desperate to see my children and basically be in my own home. I was given various instructions to follow and then had to wait for the results of the operation to see what the next step would be.

Ginkgo and magnesium A useful combination of active substances keep us fitter for longer
HOW fit you feel as you get older depends mostly on the condition of your heart, circulation and brain. Forgetfulness, concentration problems, higher irritability, aggressiveness, rapid tiring, nausea, tinnitus and a lowering of joy of living can all be caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels (e.g. arteriosclerosis) leading to the brain. The brain only makes up 3 per cent of the body’s weight and uses about 22 per cent of all the oxygen the body has at its disposal. Through a narrowing of the vessels the oxygen supply to the brain is often obstructed, which normally causes a decrease of brain function. Changes in the blood vessels already begin to appear at the age of 35, without the person noticing. Beside other factors, there might be also be a hereditary tendency towards this sort of disease. For that reason, prevention is very essential for people with such a tendency, as especially in the early stages the effect of natural remedies is most noticeable. In supplementing a health-conscious way of life with the regular intake of Ginkgo biloba extracts, one can stimulate the circulation and improve
the oxygen supply to the brain. THE GINKGO TREE (ginkgo biloba), which can reach a height of 40 metres, is related to our conifers. It comes from China and Japan, where it has always been cultivated as a temple tree. For the application as a natural remedy, an extract of the ginkgo leaves is made. The active substances of the ginkgo leaves improve the circulation, because it widens especially the deepseated middle and smaller arteries and thus improves the micro-circulation in the brain and other organs. On top of that it speeds up the velocity of the blood flow in the capillaries and stimulates the formation of by-pass arteries. MAGNESIUM is a mineral that plays a key role in the metabolism. With normal daily nourishment the need of magnesium is only partially filled. Because of the intensive cultivation of the soil and acid rain, even in a varied diet the magnesium supply is not sufficient. The vital mineral magne-sium feeds and relaxes the heart, nerves, muscles and blood vessels and improves the oxygen absorption in the brain and other organs.
COENZYME Q10 The vital way to old age COENZYME Q10 belongs to the vitamin E series and has two important functions in the human body: It helps to convert nutritious energy into kinetic energy, takes part in the building up of 95 per cent of the body’s energy and thus is a very important element in the energy supply to the heart muscle. Q10 acts furthermore as a ‘catcher of free radicals.’ Q10, just like vitamin C, vitamin E, the mineral selenium and beta-carotene, can bind free radicals (the aggressive waste products of the metabolism that damage cell membranes) and thus prevent the cells growing old. Coenzyme Q10 is partly taken in with food and partly produced by the body itself. The modern treatment and preservation of food reduces its nutritious value and consequently its Q10 content, which can lead to Q10 deficiency. Besides which the
production of coenzyme Q10 in the body decreases after the age of 40. This explains why especially middle aged people benefit from taking additional Q10. Often medical science is powerless in the face of functional disorders of the organs, such as the heart, that occur in the course of the aging process. However, it is becoming more and more clear that an optimal supply of coenzyme Q10 not only protects the body from decline in performance, but also produces a higher vitality in old age. To prevent under-supply and to maintain proper energy levels, it is recommended that additional coenzyme Q10 is taken. Even quite a number of experts recommend a preventive intake of coenzyme Q10 in order to conquer the decline in performance. Taking coenzyme Q10 is absolutely without risk. Previous experience shows that a permanent result can only be obtained by a regular intake. Sanct Bernhard

Experts say try nature’s sleep promoters VALERIAN seems to be the medicinal plant of choice of Balearic Islands’ residents eager for a good night’s sleep. Other preferred medicinal plants are passion flower, hawthorn and California poppy. “Some of their qualities include facilitating a reinvigorating sleep, and they can be
used for extended periods of time because they do not cause addiction,” said Vice-President of the Pharmacists Association of the Balearic Islands Javier Garcia Veiga. As stated by Veiga, French tourists and a growing number of Spaniards on the islands prefer phytotherapy – use of plants or related products for
medicinal purposes - over synthetic sedatives. Recent data shows that 30 per cent of the population reported not being able to sleep well, while 28 per cent admitted to resorting to tranquilisers or sedatives. Experts recommend taking natural preparations to fight occasional insomnia.

can provide benefits 15. To help you enjoy your olive trees for many a year, add a few olive leaves to your morning herbal infusion. The ingredients in olive leaves are said to have antiageing, antibiotic, antioxidant, anticancerous properties. I started to add leaves to herbal infusions a few days a week after my cancer scare 20 years ago. This was the stimulus to writing the book ‘Living well from our garden Mediterranean style’. Incidentally this book will be published in Spanish before Christmas and will join the English version on the bookshelves of Amazon Books.
Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
MANY readers will have one or two olive trees and a few will be lucky enough to have healthy, high-yielding groves. But not everyone makes maximum use of their benefits, so I review them in this week’s column. Brainstorming I could think of 15. They are described below. 1. They are interesting evergreen trees especially if pruned annually in January or February to keep their shape and open up the centre to let the air in to prevent olives from rotting. 2. Hundred, 1,000 and 2,000-year-old trees add majesty and special interest to any garden. If you have several do keep them and don’t be tempted to sell them abroad as the millennium plus ones are a dwinding part of Spain’s heritage. 3. If you have just one or two you can harvest the olives each autumn and pickle them for eating as described in ‘Growing healthy fruit in Spain.’ The most popular process is as follows. a. Soak olives in cold water for five to six weeks, changing the water every few days. This extracts the bitter taste of raw olives. b. Then collect a bunch
OLIVE GROVE: Ancient olive trees are a dwindling part of Spain’s heritage. of thyme leaves preferably the roundleaved pebrella variety. c. Prepare brine by two thirds filling a saucepan or bowl with lukewarm water, then adding salt tablespoon by tablespoon and whisking to dissolve it until a fresh egg floats towards the surface rather than lying on the bottom. d. Then fill jars with olives with a few thyme leaves between every two or three layers. Fill the packed jars with brine and float two or three carob leaves on the surface. Seal the jars and place in a cool dark place for three to six months. e. When you want to try your olives, open a jar and remove some olives into a bowl and rinse them with cold water to
remove excess salt. You can then eat them raw or improve the flavour by adding a selection of rosemary and thyme leaves, oregano leaves, anise seeds, sesame seeds, chopped garlic, slivers of orange and lemon rind, or honey, and then just covering with olive oil. Stir the mixture, cover the bowl with kitchen paper and set to one side for a couple of days. 4. If you can harvest 200 kilos or more, or add to a neighbour’s larger harvest, you can take your olives to an olive mill to have them processed into olive oil. 5. The shape and leaf cover is attractive to nesting birds such as blackbirds. 6. Pruned thick suckers
and strong thin branches can be used to repair old wicker baskets. 7. Remove long thick branches when doing a major pruning. 8. Dried twigs are useful when lighting a log fire or log-burning stove due to the oil in the woods. 9. Likewise olive logs are excellent to establish a good strong fire. 10. Thick logs are also excellent for wood turning if that is your hobby. 11. A line of olive trees or a thick grove makes a good privacy and security screen. 12. Being evergreen olive trees make good wind and rain breaks. 13. A mature tree can offer deep shade. 14. Young seedlings/
saplings can be trained into interesting bonsais.

Are you ready to have a dog?
OFTEN I am asked ‘What is the best age to get a dog for my children? Cats and dogs are not toys, I recommend you reconsider when they are teenagers. The decision to buy or to adopt a dog is not one that should be taken lightly. It is a serious commitment and there are several factors to consider. Are you really ready to have a dog? As fun as dogs can be, it is a serious decision. You are planning to take responsibility for a living creature that is completely dependent on you. Dogs require food, shelter, health care, exercise, attention, love, time and money. If you’re DOGS: Some require more attention than others.
David THE Dogman
Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10 thru 11. Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm
not completely prepared to provide all of these things, you’re not yet ready to own a dog. Your lifestyle should probably be one of the biggest factors to consider when planning to get a dog. All dogs require attention, but some need much more than others. If left alone, these dogs will not do so well and are more likely to destroy items in your home. The same can be said
for exercise. Some dogs require much more time to run around, while others can get by with less physical activity. If you’re the type of person who is away from home more often than not, you should choose a dog that will manage well in your absence independent breeds like Dachshunds, Mastiffs, or the Yorkshire Terrier. Everyone loves puppies. They’re adorable. But how adorable will you think your puppy is when you find him in the middle of a mess that used to be your favourite pair of shoes. Puppies, like babies, require an enormous amount of attention and effort - from housebreaking and socialising to teaching acceptable manners. If you don’t have the time to keep a steady training schedule, perhaps you should look into getting an adult dog. However, adult dogs can come with their own ‘baggage.’ Some adult dogs have been abused or neglected. As a result, these dogs have acquired some less-than-ideal behaviours of their own.
American catsits for stray in Fuengirola By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch DEREK and Jenny love their villa by the sea, and until this spring they had lived there alone, without pets. Last April a stray cat began to visit at meal times. After several weeks they realised she was indeed a fixture in their lives, popping in daily for meals and cuddles.
When the time came to go on holiday they weren’t quite sure how to manage with this stray, that had become a much loved pet. After reading an article in their local newspaper they decided to register with a new service, an online network for pet owners and house sitters. There was a free introductory offer and so lost nothing by registering
to try it out. Within weeks they had a list of prospective sitters all keen for the month long housesit by the sea. “I am writing to say that our holiday to Scotland, when we were away for nearly a month, went very smoothly, due in great part by our house sitter, namely Alison, all the way from Florida who did a fantastic job. Many thanks
to Ali and to HouseSitMatch for your help in making our holiday such a success,” Derek, Fuengirola, Spain.

Not without my dog! City gets pet friendly
DOG RESCUER: Jan of AID with some rescue dogs.
Support needed for Animals In Distress DOGS and cats on the Costa del Sol have been finding good homes since the early 2000s thanks to the tireless work of animal lovers Joe and Jan Safont Ruiz from Animals in Distress (AID). The Coin-based nonprofit organisation houses around 300 animals per year and operates a charity shop in Alhaurin el Grande in order to try and meet the costs of housing and looking after abandoned animals. In Malaga province around 12,000 animals per year are abandoned by their owners, and AID does its best to help as many as
possible. Founders of AID, Joe and Jan, have around 50 animals in their home at any given time as they look after the rescue dogs and cats, a testament to their dedication to helping abandoned animals in the region. “Every animal that you adopt or foster is one less found dead on the road,” says Joe. “Sometimes situations can be resolved with just a little help. Our belief has always been the welfare of all animals and the care, safety and protection of them is our priority.” With the help of a network of caring partners,
most of the AID-rescued dogs and cats go to homes in Spain, the UK, Holland, Belgium and Germany. At their own cost, AID has in the past paid for health checks, passports, vaccinations and chips for abandoned animals so that they are fully legal and in good health before going to their new home. And although AID asks for an adoption fee, it never covers the true cost of caring for that animal. AID needs shop volunteers and donations. Visit www.animals-indistress.eu to find out more about AID and how you can help.
THEY can’t ride buses, but they can travel by train or taxi. They’re welcome in Zara, but not in markets. Some bars and restaurants are starting to let dogs in, and a number of small and large businesses are joining the pet-friendly trend. A few years ago nobody would have dreamed of trying to enter a shop or restaurant with a dog. Yet as in many things, Malaga is slowly learning from large European cities in matters of tolerance towards pets. The pet friendly trend is becoming
more extended in both private and public places. Carmen Cassa, the community manager of the website seadmitenmascotas.com admitted that although not one of the best known, pet friendly cities, progress is noticeable, especially
regarding access to beaches and dog parks. So if you are one of the many people who say “not without my dog” when planning leisure activities or trips, there are now more places to go with your pet, although it is still always best to ask in advance.
It is getting colder for your pets too! NOW the temperature has dropped many older pets will be grateful for a warm bed. You will notice your cats snuggling up inside and spending more time inside. Like us humans, wear and tear will lead to painful joints, aches and pains with age. Your senior dog might have trouble getting up, stops during the walks, sits down all the time or is just reluctant to walk or play. Your senior cat will have difficulty jumping on your bed, sofa or chair and is lying around sleeping all the time. They might appear to be incontinent as they are too sore to get up. After a visit to the vet your pet might be prescribed an anti-inflammatory for
the pain and products like glucosamine and chondroitin for the cartilage of the joints. This makes their lives easier and more fun. Also they will move better therefore using the muscles they really need to keep going. Sometimes these muscles need a little help with androgenic drugs. Magnetic beds and collars have proven to have a beneficial effect. This is the time of the year when you (re)start giving your senior pet the help it needs. By Nazli of the Pointer Clinic, Estepona.

Ape savages tourist’s arm in one of worst attacks on Rock A BRITISH tourist needed 40 stitches in his arm following an attack by a pack of apes on The Rock. And nurses described his injuries as “the worst they’d ever seen.” Retiree Stuart Gravenell, 53, was
holidaying in Gibraltar with his son Bradley when they were charged down by a pack of The Rock’s famous Barbary apes as they walked through a nature reserve. The largest male of the group - standing at more than three feet tall - plunged
his teeth into Mr Gravenell’s left arm and started viciously shaking his head. The former IT worker was rushed to hospital after passing out from the pain, and was told by nurses that his injuries were so bad that if he
Stamp for Royal Marines A NEW stamp has been issued commemorating the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines. The Gibraltar Government has issued the stamp – which features the
Royal Marines’ crest – in conjunction with the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau as part of the ongoing celebrations in honour of the Royal Marines. The image on the stamp was photographed at the Royal Marines monument at Ocean Village. “Of huge importance is the fact that with the exceptions of ‘Gibraltar’ and the laurel wreath for the Battle of Belle Island, their colours (flags) do not carry battle honours in the manner of the regiments of the British Army or of the US Marine Corps, but rather the ‘globe itself’ as a symbol of the Corps,” said a government-issued statement. The stamps are available at the Philatelic Shop outside the main post office.
had been a child they would have led to an arm amputation. He received 40 stitches and had to spend three nights in hospital. He has suffered extensive nerve damage in his forearm coupled with a pronounced loss of feeling, according to the Daily Mail. “I have no recollection of the actual incident. I think I must have blocked it out,” said Mr Gravenell. “But Bradley said it just ran up and stopped dead in its tracks and jumped on me, half on my back and half on my shoulder. “He said it grabbed my arm - I’ve got claw marks - and it bit into my arm
and just shook. It was so aggressive. It savagely bit my arm, tearing it open.” Mr Gravenell has called on the government of Gibraltar to do more to warn visitors about the danger of the Barbary macaques. “Everyone I was speaking to out there said the apes are getting out of control,” he said. “I’m scared they are going to wait until there is a fatality to take action.” A spokesman for the government said that while the situation was ‘unfortunate’, the apes were wild “and as much as possible is done to give notice.”
Remembering the world war fallen REMEMRANCE SUNDAY is fast approaching and the service will be held at the British War Memorial on Line Wall Road at noon on November 9. Governor Lieutenant-General Sir James Dutton will lead the service in honour of the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilians in both world wars. A two-minute silence will be observed followed by a gun salute. Wreaths will be laid before the conclusion of the service with the sounding of the Reveille and a singing of the National Anthem. Medals and decorations may be worn with civilian dress by those entitled to do so and relatives of the dead may also wear them.
GIB EXTRA A voice in Brussels FORMER Gibraltar MEP Sir Graham Watson has been hired to represent Gibraltar in Brussels on a three-year contract. He will lead and help promote Gibraltar’s interests in the EU and ensure that The Rock’s voice will be heard.
Ties that bond THE Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Gibraltar Association has been formed to promote loyalty to the Queen, to foster pride in British nationality and to promote good citizenship in Gibraltar. The association is made up of those appointed to the Order of the British Empire and who are holders of the British Empire Medal.
Roadworks PHASE One of the road resurfacing project has been completed. Rosia Road, Line Wall Road and the northern part of Flat Bastion Road have now been resurfaced, with works still ongoing on Europa Road. Phase Two will concentrate on Queensway and the Waterport, Sundial and Harbour View roundabouts.

Inflatable rear seatbelt to make debut on the all-new Mondeo FORD Motor Company’s groundbreaking Inflatable Rear Seatbelt - which combines attributes of an airbag and a conventional seatbelt - will make its European debut on the all-new Mondeo later this year. Ford’s Inflatable Rear Seatbelt is designed to reduce head, neck and chest injuries for rear-seat passengers, often children and older passengers who can be more vulnerable to such injuries. In the event of an accident, the belt rapidly expands to disperse crash forces across a body area five times greater than that

Belts safer and more New Volk comfortable, say Ford Spanish ma From page 144 airbag and a seatbelt is a significant development.” The inflatable belts operate like conventional seatbelts in everyday use and, in Ford’s research, more than 90 per cent of those who tested the inflatable seatbelts found them to be similar to or more comfortable than a conventional belt because they feel padded and softer. The technology was first offered on the 2011 Ford Explorer in the US and proved immediately popular, with 40 per cent of buyers choosing the option. As with an airbag, Ford’s Inflatable Rear Seatbelt is activated when crash sensors detect an accident. This forces compressed gas out of a cylinder housed below the rear seat, through the buckle and into the belt and is deployed in less than 40 milliseconds. Alongside the Mondeo, the belt will also be available on the new Ford

Edge, which makes its European debut in 2015. “It provides extra support to the head and neck and so is especially effective when worn by young children or the elderly occupants who are more vulnerable in accidents,” Doering said. Unlike airbags, which generate heat when deploying, Ford’s Inflatable Rear Seatbelt inflates using cold compressed gas. “The seatbelt has made the single biggest contribution to car safety and our Inflatable Rear Seatbelt provides even more protection to passengers,” said Ulrich Koesters, vehicle line director, Ford of Europe. “Mondeo will be the first vehicle in its class to offer this technology and we're confident it will really appeal to customers.”
VOLKSWAGEN’S new Passat is available to order in Spain. Unveiled in Potsdam in July, it has since been officially launched in Germany and now Spain, amongst other European countries. The new Passat comes with an array of driver assistance systems previously only available in more expensive cars. Its 240-PS diesel flagship with DSG and allwheel drive consumes just 5.3 litres of fuel per 100km. Helping that fuel consumption figure is that the new Passat is lighter than its predecessor. Its lightweight design has meant VW managed to shave up to 85 kilos off the

Audi shows off new tech on the track WHO needs a driver? Soon it could be no-one, say Audi. Audi demonstrated its latest 'piloted driving' car, the Audi RS 7, with a lap on the Grand Prix track in Hockenheim – at racing speed, without a driver. It took the car just slightly more than two minutes to complete a lap on the Grand Prix track – piloted with high precision and accuracy to within centimetres in the finale of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) meeting. “The top performance by the Audi RS 7 today substantiates the skills of our development team with regard to piloted driving at Audi,”
NO DRIVER: The driverless Audi completed a lap in two minutes. said Professor Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at AUDI AG. “The derivations from series production, particularly in terms of precision and performance, are of great value for our further development steps.” The technology uses specially corrected GPS signals to see where the
car is on the track. This GPS data is transmitted to the vehicle via WiFi according to the automotive standard and redundantly via high-frequency radio. In parallel to this, 3D cameras in the car film the track, and a computer program compares the cameras’ image information against a data set stored on board. This is what makes it possible for the technology pioneer to orient itself on the track within centimetres. Piloted driving is one of the most important development fields at Audi. The first successful developments were achieved 10 years ago and the test results
continually flow into series development. The latest test runs at the physical limit are providing the Audi engineers with insights for the development of automatic avoidance functions in critical driving situations. Driver assistance systems from Audi are already making driving more relaxed and better controlled. These systems’ highest level of development can be experienced in the updated Audi A6 and Audi A7 Sportback model series. The offerings include Audi side assist, Audi active lane assist, and adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function, including Audi pre-sense front.

Gaelic football on the coast MARBELLA’S Gaelic football team had a mixed start to the new season with a win against Sevilla followed by a loss to Gibraltar at Marbella Rugby Club. The opening weekend of the Andalucia League was a closely fought affair and leaves Marbella’s Costa Gaels in second position overall. The Costa Gaels – an eclectic bunch who have introduced Gaelic football to the Costa del Sol – have been going from strength to strength since their foundation 12 years ago. They have grown in terms of squad numbers and have also been featured in national newspapers and radio back in Ireland. Playing this uniquely Irish sport, the Costa Gaels are anything but uniquely Irish. On the current squad there are Irish, English, Dutch, Spanish and Iraqi players, and the team has seen South African, Kiwi, Cypriot and Australian players pull on the blue and green jersey of the club in the past. With Marbella Rugby Club as their base, the team meets for training twice a week and also operates a Kiddies Club on Sunday mornings to help introduce youngsters to the
COSTA GAELS: Showcasing Gaelic football in Southern Spain. game. Like a mixture between soccer and Australian Rules, the Costa Gaels have been helping raise the profile of Gaelic football on the coast and take part in the annual Andalucian League with teams from Sevilla and Gibraltar. The next outing for the club will see them travel to Sevilla on November 22 to take part in the inaugural Iberian Cup. An Andalucian team consisting of players from the three teams based in Southern Spain will
take on teams from Madrid, Barcelona and Galicia. As much about fostering ties and socialising as it is about playing the sport, the Costa Gaels are part of an Irish Diaspora that is spreading the game around Europe. Made up of barmen, Ryanair pilots, web designers, and even a former Big Brother housemate, the team is always ready to welcome new recruits, young or old.
