Captured birds released
SPANISH scientists have unlocked the se crets of the ‘immortal jellyfish’, the Turritop sis dohrnii. The journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has reported that Spanish scientists have revealed the ge netic code of this sea creature which has the ability to revert to its juvenile larval form over and over. Maria PascualTorner, Victor Quesada, and colleagues at the University of Oviedo, conducted a study to understand why the Turritopsis dohrnii has this special ability. They compared its genetic sequence to Turritopsis rubra, a close cousin that does n’t have those same rejuvenation abilities. In their report, the researchers said that the T dohrnii is the only species that is able to repeatedly rejuvenate itself after sexual reproduction, making it biologically immor tal. Monty Graham, a jellyfish expert who is also director of the Florida Institute of Oceanography who was not involved in the research told a news source: “We’ve known about this species being able to do a little evolutionary trickery for maybe 1520 years.”Itishoped that unravelling the mysteries of the immortal jellyfish will help provide clues for human ageing.
THE Guardia Civil has released more than 270 illegally cap tured birds in Valencia. The traps they were in were operated remotely by means of a rope that caused them to close and capture the specimens that had entered inside. The agricultural fields were baited with plenty of grain to attract the birds, the Guardia Civil confirmed on Sunday, September 4. In the centre of the enclo sure was another goldfinch used as bait, with one of its legs tied to wood anchored to the ground. Two people have been investigated for using il legal gear to capture the birds, the vast majority of which are protected.Duetothe breeding season of fringillid birds and with the aim of preventing the capture of protected birds, the Guardia Civil has carried out various surveillance activities in this area in recent months. In the area known as ‘Camino Bayo’, belonging to the municipality of Liria, in Va lencia, several illegal traps were found ready for use as a result of the surveillance activ ities.

TOÑO PIÑEIRO, a resident of Valencia, made an astound ing discovery whilst refurbishing an old abandoned property that he had bought in the village of Millan, in Lugo, Galicia. During the course of his building work, the man was shocked to uncover around nine million pesetas, equivalent to about €54,000. The old Spanish currency notes were in side six Nesquick jars scattered around the building and its outbuildings Mr Piñeiro explained to a Spanish publication. There is an element of good fortune but also bad fortune in this tale. When Piñeiro discovered the first two jars, it was before the Bank of Spain’s deadline to exchange old curren cy. The property had been empty for almost 40 years before he bought it, and the amount of around €30,000 he made by exchanging the old notes came in very handy for building costs. However, since July 2021, the Bank of Spain no longer accepts old pesetas. This meant that the last three jars full of notes were worthless unless you are a collector of souvenir old notes, professed a dejected Mr Piñeiro.

JOHN GLEN MP: Sold shares worth over £1 billion earlier this year.
THE UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has found that NatWest Bank breached banking rules.Ithad been forcing business cus tomers to open a business current account, which incurs fees, in order to secure a loan a practice known as ‘bundling’, the UK government con firmed on Wednesday, August 31. As such, hundreds of businesses have been charged monthly for a business account that they may not have wanted or needed. It also limit ed businesses’ choice as they were unable to hold an account with a sep arate provider, which may have bet ter met their requirements. The breach lasted for over three years, with NatWest failing to alert the CMA until January 2021. Having scrutinised the error more closely, the CMA became aware the bank had signed certain customers up for a business account when they had specifically requested to have a feefreeAdamaccount.Land,CMA Senior Director of Remedies, said: “Forcing business es to open costly current accounts to secure essential loans is unaccept able and a direct breach of our rules, which have been in place for 20 years.The bank is in the process of re funding affected customers and will offer SME customers with a business account the option of switching to a feefree loan servicing account. Although this is not the only bank to have been discovered to have done this, it is slightly embarrassing for the government which still owns 48.5 per cent of its equity, even af ter former Economic Secretary to the Treasury John Glen sold shares worth over £1 billion in March this year.
Iceland freeze
Commenting on this, Sánchez said “Our country as pires to lead in areas such as cybersecurity, 6G, artificial in telligence or cloud computing, in addition to accelerating the deployment of 5G.” During the meeting, the Samsung CEO outlined the plans the company has for its development in Spain in rela tion to the ambitious strategy designed by the government to turn Spain into a key player in the medium term in the de velopment of semiconduc tors.
AFTER receiving an energy bill of E20 million, Richard Walker, CEO of Iceland supermarket which has franchise operations in Spain has an nounced that he is cutting back on planned opening of new stores and has approached 10 Downing Street asking for more financial assis tance for businesses struggling to keep afloat.

SPAIN is becoming a very at tractive country as far as Asian tech companies are concerned with its commitment to invest in the future. It aims to become the central European Hub in the field of digitisation and development of semiconductors, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan thanks to the massive fi nancial support of the EU Therefore, on Wednesday August 31, President Pedro Sánchez, held a meeting in Madrid at La Moncloa with the CEO and Vice President of Sam sung Electronics, JongHee Han.During the meeting they dis cussed the investment oppor tunities offered by Spain in these fields as the Recovery Plan allocates some €20 billion to digital transformation, with more than €3.5 billion aimed at reinforcing the technological training of the population, an other €3.5 billion destined for the modernisation of small and medium companies (SMEs) and €3 billion for the digitisation of public administrations.

Makro fears
THE Belgian company Bronze Property which owns cash and carry chain Makro (which has several outlets in Spain) and catering wholesaler Metro is applying for bankruptcy protection to try to safeguard its 2,000 plus staff across Europe.
ON Thursday September 1, Spanish President Pedro Sánchez announced plans to tem porarily cut VAT on gas from the current 21 per cent to 5 per cent in a bid to make life more affordable during the winter. This will take effect from the beginning of October and run through until the end of De cember, although members of the opposition Partido Popular have suggested that it should be extended further. What needs to be re membered however is, that unlike the UK, a lot of gas used is the bottled variety and costs will reduce there, but although some 40 per cent of electricity is created through use of gas there will be no saving on the already re duced rate of VAT on that form of energy. MANY customers find it irritating to have to stand in long queues in some stores in order to pay for their goods. An experiment by low price Dutch retailer Hema, if successful, could see a whole new option for shops and con sumers as it trials a unique new mobile app developed by ING and European payment provider CCV. They claim it will revolutionise shopping as the app can turn any mobile phone into a payment terminal meaning that every member of staff on the shop floor will be able to easily accept card payments and send a digital receipt.

The more the media excessively encour ages different cultures (15 per cent), the greater will grow the lack of support from the majority (85 per cent) of the British public. What if PM winner Truss turns out to be akin to another Margaret Thatcher? The thought of Starmer and Rayner win ning against her really boggles the imagina tion! Nope, these vote grabbing tactics will utterly misfire and the results will once again be the usual left wing disaster. It will be interesting to observe just how far left they are ultimately prepared to go! Keep the faith Love leapylee2002@gmail.com.Leapy
The media bosses are on a hell bent mission to get rid of the conservative government in the next election basi cally because they know they will be more powerful and secure. Their news events are at this time revelling in the chaotic mess the country finds itself in. Any attempts by the government to as sist or rectify some of the problems (most of which are national complica tions) are nullified or almost scoffed at. They are continually informing the public that the new leader will have to sort out countless problems now affect ing a beleaguered British community, and their excessive casting of minority actors in commercials and documen taries is not only misleading, but utterly prejudicial to the majority of artistic professionals. It is all a part of their plans to put a Labour government into number 10. If they can make the UK in habitants feel they are propitious par takers of a perfectly mixed culture, they believe they will obtain a victorious in flux of votes from a grateful British pub lic. In actual fact they are totally wrong. The historical citizens of the UK are not unintelligent. Vast numbers are not at all overjoyed with many of the conse quences that have transpired since they openly welcomed members of different nationalities into the population. Many have moved out of once beloved cities and into more peaceful and patriotic ru ral areas. However these citizens are still principal partisans of their beloved country of origin.

INTERESTING to read some of my mail of late. The piece published on our let ters page caught my attention. It was enquiring as to why there was so little media publicity, or public uproar con cerning the 87yearold pensioner who was stabbed to death on his mobility scooter? The simple reason was that the arrested perpetrator was a young black male. This would go against the whole future ambitions of the left wing media bosses, who are hell bent on convincing the British public that they are all living happily in a glorious exis tence of mixed cultures.

I’ll even go as far as to stick my neck out here and suggest that the saturated reporting relating to the tragic shooting of Olivia, the nineyearold little girl, which went on for weeks and over flowed with information that the main suspect was a member of the Liverpool gangs, was purely because most of these particular criminal suspects were white. Had it been a murder committed by members of a different culture, the condensed amount of publicity would have no doubt equalled the atrocious murder of the white pensioner.

DEAR Leapy How refreshing to know that I am not the only old f**t that thinks our way. We like you have left the UK, but only 15 years ago, but it was probably the best thing we have done. Living in Spain, slightly north of Alicante is a good place to be. My grandchildren are hav ing to pay over £800 a month for a room in a shared house. Our children have bought a share in a flat and have to rent the rest of it on a scheme to make it easy to buy. What a con that is! Also, saw a very good friend of mine yesterday, who is quite ill, his family have sug gested that he goes back to the UK, but he said he would rather die here. What a sad state for the old boy. Keep the faith Ted in Pinoso

There’s a financial saving for the supermarket as even if they reduce the price of an item that has been on the shelves for a while, there is still some return on their investment.

That’s changing quite quickly and also best before dates on hundreds of vegetables and fruit are being re moved across the UK with the idea that the average as sistant or shopper is able to see whether something is fresh or not and can make an informed decision whether to purchase.
THE BEST THING
Sometimes, old cliches are also extremely accurate and nowadays ‘Waste not, want not’ should become the watchword for the world.
WITH food costs spiralling it seems that at long last su permarkets throughout Europe are trying to stop the waste that sees food being destroyed rather than eaten. To some extent they had themselves to blame with an obsessive need to only offer perfectly shaped veg etables which they claim was due to customer de mand.Atthe end of the day many vegetables are peeled and cut before being cooked or served, so why would anyone care about a wonky shape or an ugly tomato when it tastes identical to the perfect specimen?

As detailed in a different part of this week’s edition, a company in Sweden is buying up overstocked or short life goods from a range of manufacturers and offering them for sale online at reduced prices. Hopefully the day of the ‘bin diver’ is coming to an end as supermarkets are also making sure that items that might once have been thrown away are now being offered to charities and food banks.
I FEEL I must write with disgust at the latest announcement regarding slaughter houses in Spain.

The Spaniard has now played Gasquet 18 times without loss. The second seed took two hours and 17 minutes to dispose of his French opponent. In his previous two matches against Fognini and Rinky Hijika ta, he had lost the opening sets, but Nadal was totally un playable for the first two sets of this match. His ruthless atti tude saw him produce a 78 per cent rate of firstserve points, hitting 35 winners. He also converted three of six break points in a sublime display of tennis skills. The Spanish legend will now face Frances Tiafoe, the Ameri can No22 seed, in the next round.
