Index What’s news

Although most of the tourists seem to have gone, some have still been clinging to the Costa by their fingernails as well as the weekenders who made the most of the phenomenal hot weather we have been having.

It is now easier to park a car and the weather has cooled off. What a relief for us residents! Lots of tourists is good but overcrowding can also be counterproductive when people cannot park or move freely to spend their holiday money! While the Costa seems to gain popularity, let’s hope that the local authorities will have more sense in allowing for it.

Meanwhile let’s look forward to roasting chestnuts on a coal fire, Halloween, Christmas and the New Year.

In my opinion Aunque la mayoría de los turistas parecen haberse ido, algunos todavía se aferran a la Costa con uñas, así como los de fin de semana que aprovecharon el buen tiempo que hemos tenido.

Ahora es más fácil aparcar el coche y el clima se ha enfriado. Qué alivio para nosotros los residentes! Los turistas son buenos, pero la masificación también pueden ser contraproducente, cuando las personas no pueden aparcar o moverse libremente para gastarse el dinero de sus vacaciones! Mientras que la Costa parece ganar popularidad, esperemos que las autoridades locales sepan preveerlo para años venideros.

De momento esperamos con ansia asar castañas en el fuego, Halloween, Navidad y Año Nuevo.

¿RETRASO? ¿VUELO CANCELADO?

Website www.webexpressguide.com www.directorycostadelsol.com www.directorymarbella.com www.expressguidetv.com www.directorygibraltar.com www.du-getit.com

Reclame una indemnización que puede llegar hasta los 600 euros.

Director / Admin Elisabeth Da Costa Almiron Julia H. Gladstone

El modo de funcionamiento es muy sencillo.

El pasajero afectado, deberá introducir en la plataforma el tipo de incidencia (retraso, cancelación, overbooking), la ruta, el número de escalas, número de vuelo, fecha del trayecto, etc. además del motivo facilitado por la compañía para justificar la demora en el vuelo.

Advertising enquiries: 0034 629 504 003

Una vez introducida esta información, www.airhelp.com/es / se encargará del proceso de reclamación.

Los vuelos con menos de 1.500 kilómetros que acumulen un retraso de dos horas o más se compensan con 250 euros como máximo. Los que tienen un trayecto entre 1.500 y 3.500 kilómetros y un retraso de al menos tres horas permiten una indemnización de hasta 400 euros, mientras que los que superan los 3.500 kilómetros de viaje y se retrasan cuatro horas o más propician un pago de 600 euros. Si el retraso es superior a cinco horas, los pasajeros tienen la opción de reclamar un reembolso del pasaje y un vuelo de vuelta si correspondiera. Además, los usuarios tienen un plazo de hasta diez años para realizar estas reclamaciones.

El proceso de reclamación para un pasajero individual es complicado, ya que las compañías intentan en principio eximir el pago de compensaciones. En el caso de que finalmente el cliente obtenga una indemnización, Airhelp recibe un 25%. Si la reclamación no prospera, el cliente no deberá pagar nada.

¿QUÉ ÉS ROTARY? Rotary Internacional, la primera organización de servicio voluntario del mundo, está formada por casi 33.000 clubs en más de 200 países y regiones. Su red internacional de socios está compuesta por líderes empresariales, profesionales y cívicos que aportan su tiempo, dinero y conocimientos para prestar servicio en sus comunidades y en todo el mundo.

El primer club de servicio en el mundo fue el Club Rotario de Chicago, Illinois, EE.UU., fundado el 23 de febrero de 1905 por el abogado Paul P. Harris y tres de sus amigos: un comerciante, un negociante en carbón y un ingeniero de minas. Harris deseaba rescatar el espíritu de amistad que reinaba entre los comerciantes del pueblo donde había crecido. El nombre “Rotary” se derivó de la práctica que tuvo origen en los inicios del club y que consistía en rotar los lugares de las reuniones, celebrándolas alternativamente en la oficina de cada uno de los integrantes. Rotary Club Bell Ville fue fundado el 15 de mayo de 1938.

EL LEMA DE ROTARY El lema de Rotary “DAR DE SI SIN PENSAR EN SI” (service above self en inglés) ejemplifica el espíritu humanitario de los más de 1,2 millones de socios de la organización. La labor de Rotary en todo el mundo se caracteriza por los sólidos vínculos del compañerismo y los significados proyectos de servicio que implementa en la comunidad y en el ámbito internacional.

Ana Martin, a single mother of two, told me that when she discovered she had breast cancer, her whole world fell apart.

Eventually the only good news she was given is that she would probably survive after a mastectomy and chemotherapy. She was lucky to have a best friend that helped her out through the ordeal but saving her life left her with scars difficult to live with especially as an attractive 39 years old.

Not willing to give up on her new lease of life, she started researching for ways and means to restore her looks and particularly the loss of hair due to chemotherapy but it all had to be natural or at the very least look natural and undetectable.

There is no Irish bar more authentic than The Dubliner, a genuine slice of Ireland right here on the Costa del Sol.

The Dubliner Irish Bar & Restaurant is a most refreshing venue on the Costa del Sol where everything else seems so much of a muchness.

It isn’t just the name that makes it so Irish and so special, it is the whole ensemble that has been created to provide exactly what it promises: great food, great craic and great Guinness. www.webexpressguide.com

25

Main feature

No matter where you are, you can never resist the temptation to sit in a genuine and friendly Irish bar at any time of the day.

In any case, if you appreciate a perfect pint of Guinness you will know that pouring it is a craft. Of course you also have an extensive choice of other drinks and one should take particular notice of the COCKTAIL MENU intended to provide an excellent experience.

The food is exceptionally good; it is all done to order using the freshest ingredients.

I found the food to be fantastic value for money not just because of the presentation and quality but also the portions of their rich choice of tapas at tapas prices served during the summer.

I am informed that from the 1st of October a fresh “a la carte” menu will be introduced details of which can be found on their Facebook page. On Fridays between 13:00 and 20:00, children under 12, accompanied by two adults having eating, will have a choice of three dishes free of charge.

Football fans will be delighted to learn that all premier football games will be screened on the various 65” TVs while savouring tapas at 1 Euro each.

26

www.webexpressguide.com

Main feature

As additional entertainment you can always count on live weekly music as well as the imminent introduction of karaoke nights.

Remember it’s party time on Halloween at The Dubliner, an event that cannot be missed. It’s fancy dress time and live music with lots and lots of friendly fun.

Ireland also means “great golf ” and great golf is part and parcel of the Costa del Golf this is why The Dubliner have created the Dublin Open Golf Society (D.O.G.S. for short).

The club is free to join and the idea is to select premium courses for members to play at reduced rates. On golf days prize giving will take place at The Dubliner and all member will be offered a selection of tapas on the house.

It is recommended that you keep an eye on The Dubliner’s Facebook pages to find out more about the golf as well as the new menu and other events that will constantly take place.

All that can be said to conclude is that THE DUBLINER is a traditional bar/restaurant where you will be entranced by the true Irish ambience.

In my opinion

Should we stop eating

fish?

Seriously!! It is time to control industrial waste!!

Foodstuffs can become contaminated with certain chemicals present in the environment as for instance mercury and even arsenic normally used in certain industrial processes.

According with the Spanish Consumers Association the levels detected in a recent survey are not a worry and the consumer does not run a risk as long as the dose absorbed is not exceeded.

It is the presence of mercury in various types of fish that makes food safety watchdogs ring their bells. The most sensitive consumers (children & pregnant women) are advised to limit the consumption of certain kinds 30

www.webexpressguide.com

of fish, but they should not eliminate them completely.

The Food Safety Agency (AESAN) has detected the presence of mercury in different varieties of fish. Mercury is a heavy metal that can be very toxic; it is naturally present in the ground, in water, plants and animal organisms, but the real threat comes from the large amount of industrial waste released in the environment by mankind. The residue of such waste passes on to the fish food chain and the larger, the more predatory the fish the greater is the accumulation of the toxic material.

The level of mercury toxicity depends on the chemical form in which it is found because some of the components of mercury are more toxic tan the metal itself. According to The World Health Organisation, methylmercury is one of the 6 chemicals most present in the environment.

Mercury can induce some toxic effects on the system and on certain organs such as the nervous system, kidneys, reproductive organs however the greatest risk is in neurotoxicity of the nervous system.

The presence of mercury in fish is a

real problem. The Italian Consumers Association has carried out a recent research concluding that 20% of all samples analyzed exceeded the acceptable limits of mercury.

As a result the European Commission and the members States agreed that it is now necessary to make certain recommendations with regards to the consumption of fish especially for consumers most susceptible to this metal.

Fish is an absolute necessity to maintain a balanced diet. A diet that comprises fish and seafood contributes to maintain a level of cardiovascular health; furthermore it is good www.webexpressguide.com

31

In my opinion

for children’s growth because it provides some proteins of high biological value, vitamins A, D & B12 plus iodine and selenium. It is indisputable that fish is indispensable to our diet, the answer lies in alternating the type of fish we eat; of course those who are more at risk should be sensible enough and avoid eating certain fish.

•

Choose a fish that is less prone to mercury exposure, in particular those that are small and non predatory fish.

•

Normal healthy adults should not eat predatory fish more than once a week; fish like tuna, sword fish, linguee, pike, panga fish all of which may contain dangerous levels of mercury.

•

It is important to alternate with other less contaminable types of fish as for instance: sardines, salmon, sea bass, trout, bream, sole.

•

Pregnant or about to become pregnant women and children are advised not to eat the large types of fish as mentioned above.

OCU the Spanish Consumers Association report on a research of their own in respect of tinned tuna in vegetal oil provided by different brands available in supermarkets and found that the contents of mercury are much below the legal maximum established by the E.U., which is 1 part per million.

Como ser

r ElRubius, Auronplay, VEGETTA777 y HolaSoyGerman son youtubers españoles de gran exito. Seguramente conozcas a alguno.

Han hecho, esto de ser youtuber, su trabajo a tiempo completo. Tienen cientos de miles de seguidores y gran éxito.

38

www.webexpressguide.com

Los youtubers ganan dinero con sus vídeos gracias a lo que se conoce como partners de YouTube y a las peticiones publicitarias de las marcas.

Aqui te dejamos 10 consejos para que empieces tu carrera en el mundo de ser youtuber.

4º Planificación.

El youtuber debe pensar con tanquilidad qué quiere comunicar, cómo son los planos que necesita, la música que utilizará… hasta el más mínimo detalle está pensado y constituye una parte importante para lograr el resultado final.

5º Utiliza YouTube Trends.

Con esta herramienta de Google conseguirás identificar qué videos son tendencia en la plataforma, el sexo de los usuarios, país de residencia… Pasar un tiempo analizando estos datos te permitirá tomar ideas para tus videos.

6º Contenido.

Es fundamental comunicar algo que aporte valor a los demás, que les informe, que les permita adquirir conocimientos o, al menos, que les divierta. El humor es un medio conductor de los de mas éxito en youtube.

7º Calidad.

Se debe cuidar la calidad del vídeo presentado.

Si la edición no está cuidada, por muy bueno que sea el contenido del vídeo no llegará al usuario.

1º Consigue un equipo básico.

Necesitarás una cámara de vídeo en HD. Un programa de edición para tu ordenador, un micrófono, unos buenos focos y horas aprendiendo a editar tus videos.

2º Crea tu canal en YouTube.

Piensa bien el nombre, esto suele ser muy importante y marcará tu camino.

Personaliza el canal con un logotipo que te identifique y un diseño cuidado.

3º Crea tus videos.

Muchas veces son mejores los cortos, pues son más fáciles de recordar. Si además incluyes palabras clave en su título, podrás conseguir que los que lo vean te localicen más fácilmente al utilizar el buscador de Google.

8º Periodicidad.

Imponte un ritmo de publicación, que puede ser diaria, semanal… de acuerdo a tus capacidades y recursos. Trata de cumplir los plazos para que los usuarios sean fiales a tu canal.

9º Promociona tus vídeos.

No basta con publicarlos y ya está. Una vez subidos a la plataforma compártelos en Facebook, en Twitter, en Google+, en foros especializados…

10º Paciencia.

Si piensas que te harás rico enseguida con tus vídeos, posiblemente abandones tu propósito de hacerte youtuber. Al principio, los seguidores tardan en llegar al canal, porque crear una comunidad fiel de usuarios es una tarea que requiere mucho esfuerzo y sacrificio. www.webexpressguide.com

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Article provided by Sonia Fendley director of STM Nummos Life The name comes from the Zika Forest of Uganda, where the virus was first isolated in 1947. For the first time in Europe this year we have seen news of this virus which is plaguing South American countries.

It all starts with a mosquito bite from the tiger mosquito. The bite can provoke a skin reaction with subsequent headaches, fever, rash, muscle and joint pains. The symptoms can last a few days and are not serious enough to require hospitalization.

Once in the system, the virus can be transmitted to others sexually, by blood transfusion and from pregnant mothers to foetus. The latter is where the disease hits hard:- when babies are born with a condition that causes the brain to stop developing as well as the skull. Although ‘microcephaly’ can happen with no other major defects the damage caused by an underdeveloped brain is disastrous.

There is no vaccine at present, although in June of this year tests have been approved to be carried out on humans. We are still quite far from complete success.

The tiger mosquito, so named for the black 42

www.webexpressguide.com

and white stripes on its body and legs, is different from other mosquitoes because it is active day and night and it prefers to inhabit areas as near as possible to humans.

The worrying part of all this is that tiger mosquitoes have already invaded the U.S and Mediterranean Europe, including the Costa del Sol, mainly through people’s travel and goods transport.

So far these European invaders do not seem to be carrying the Zita Virus, but they certainly can carry and transmit ‘malaria’, ‘chikungunya’ and ‘dengue fever’ as well as ‘leishmansiasis’, which is dangerous for dogs.

Although it may be difficult to eradicate this pest, we can take some measures and at least try and control it. The tiger mosquito will try and set home near you, look for any small pool of stagnant water (puddles, flower vases, bird baths, any crevices that can contain water, including inlets to sewers and drainage systems that can hold stagnant water) and remove the water or fill in with sand to prevent the mosquitoes laying their eggs.

Traps that catch the usual mosquitoes do not catch tiger mosquitoes efficiently; you need

to look for traps that are designed to catch the tiger mosquito.

Anyone travelling to and from an area where the Zika virus has shown its presence must remember that one mosquito bite will see to it that you are infected. Once infected, you are likely to be protected from future infections. You can see how far the Zika Virus has already been detected on the map below provided by The Centers of Disease Control & Prevention.

How to protect yourself from mosquito bites •

Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

•

Treat your clothing with permethrin or buy pre-treated items.

•

Use EPA-registered insect repellent or insect repellents containing oil of eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol.

•

When used as directed, these insect repellents are proven safe and effective even for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Do not use insect repellents on babies under 2 months old. Do not use products containing oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol on children younger than 3 years old.

•

Stay in places with air conditioning and window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside.

•

Take steps to control mosquitoes inside and outside your home.

•

Mosquito netting can be used to cover babies in carriers, strollers, or cots.

•

Sleep under a mosquito bed net if air conditioned or screened rooms are not available or if sleeping outdoors.

•

Prevent sexual transmission of Zika by using condoms or not having sex.

whats news

On the first day, 16th September 2016, the opening of this second congress was very well attended by the press, supporters, and the Estepona Council officials due to its importance as a milestone in the introduction of Hyperbaric Medicine on the Costa del Sol as it continues proving the benefits of this newly discovered therapy in Spain.

diabetic derived wounds & illnesses, abscesses, radiation injury, burns and many more, there is still insufficient medical evidence to support its use in cases of autism, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer, asthma, Bell’s Palsy, cerebral palsy, depression, spinal cord injury, migraines, heart diseases, multiples sclerosis and stroke.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment to enhance the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.

The importance is that in this second congress HMCE of Estepona was able to provide evidence with a number of cases treated in the course of the year to support results in helping patients with cerebral palsy, depression, autism, tinnitus and various others.

Although the therapy has proven to be successful in the States for healing and speeding recovery of the ailments such as gas embolism, carbon monoxide poisoning,

44

www.webexpressguide.com

These additional benefits were more radically discussed and presented over the whole of the following day by a number of doctors and specialists in their fields.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Keeping Young!

One of the best known worldwide experts in Hyperbaric Medicine, Dr. Nina Subbotina, in her book titled “The Hyperbaric chamber, science not miracle”refers to the anti-aging effect of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

She refers to the fact that this therapy has the effect of delaying old age. “ Is it worth treating healthy persons who want to improve their well being, appearance, vitality, and quality of life’. Personally I think Yes”, states Dr. Subbolina, concluding that natural ageing and that induced by stress or sun are associated with the lowering of energy production which in turn are due to lack of oxygen.

How does it work?

By supplying oxygen to body cells via the Hyperbaric natural oxygen therapy provides a beneficial effect on the organism. Patients

state they can sleep a lot deeper, that they do not get so tired and generally feel better.

Some doctors consider that the treatment revitalises old people’s organism, that it tones the skin and reduces the flaccidity of wrinkles.

How long do the results last?

“Much longer than any beauty treatment.

Generally about 6 to 9 months after which one should have another treatment “, she states in her book.

Should you require more information please do not hesitate to contact the Centro Medico Hiperbarico in Estepona, Tel. 952 806 796 or via the web page www.centrohiperbarico. com, where you will be attended by qualified professionals able to to answer any question with no obligation.

legal

Temporary employment contract VS Indefinite Contract Temporary Contract It is when both parties agree a termination date. It can be part-time or full-time.

The reasons for for temporary work can be: • The worker is needed until the end of a project or job. Termination is dictated by the completion of the job.

• A seasonal increase of work or an exceptional temporary increase.

• Temporary replacement of a worker on sick or maternity leave, or other

The indefinite contract is ideal for providing a sense of stability and workers’ security that will contribute to company loyalty and a greater responsibility. There are some incentives for companies to enter into indefinite contracts. Such contracts are favoured with a reduction in the social security cost and, in some cases, with tax deductions.

The reason has to be specified in the contract. Unjustified use of temporary contracts converts the contract to indefinite.

After 2 years temporary contracts become permanent (or 24 months of work in a period of 30 months).

Despite this, employers are often reluctant to enter into an indefinite contract even if at first they do not have ‘temporary vacancies’ Perhaps because: • Uncertainty in the financial ability to support the worker over a long time.

• Fear of costly redundancies.

Indefinite Contract

Some considerations Pros & Cons

When an ending date is not specified.

48

Any type of contract can be converted to an indefinite contract by written agreement or ‘de facto’.

It can be part-time or full-time. This type of contract can also regulate seasonal jobs.

Is entering into an indefinite contract that risky? What is the cost of failure?

For example: A camping area opens only 7 months per year. The staff has indefinite contracts but only works during the period of activities.

You can always dismiss an employee if things do not go as expected, even if you signed an ‘indefinite contract’. This might be due to cutting costs or just because you decide so.

Contracts must state the number of hours daily, weekly, monthly or yearly and their distribution in a time-table. Unless specified the contract will be interpreted to be full time.

Of course, the worker is entitled to be given fair notice (though this is not mandatory in every case) and to a fair compensation, redundancy payment. This is true for

www.webexpressguide.com

temporary contracts too. The giving notice depends on the length of time he has worked.

Indefinite contracts with a one-year trial period do not require notice during the trial.

The cost of redundancy payments in terms of daily wage per year, depending on the reason for the dismissal, is: • End of Contract (properly notified): 9 day of salary per year worked.

• Dismissal for Objective Reasons: 20 days.

• Dismissal for Subjective Reasons: 33 days.

• Voluntarily worker’s termination: 0 days.

Obviously the first cannot be the case of an ‘indefinite contract’, in the second case, a judge has to declare the reason to be ‘objective’ if the worker does not agree.

If the company decides that it cannot afford the worker anymore and it dismisses him without his agreement, the redundancy payment will be 33days of salary per year of work in the company.

A cheaper option is to stick to a temporary contract followed by another relying on a termination date with a redundancy of 9 days per year. However this is illegal, as soon as the worker brings it up to light the company will have to pay the balance, plus assuming the risk of being fined.

To remove any undue fears, consider that the company needs not to pay ‘finiquito’ in dismissing a during the trial period which can be up to 1 year in some types of indefinite contracts, as mentioned above.

Why Plan my funeral?

In two words:

“Due Diligence” “Price is always the issue.”

This is actually false.

The real aggravation for the bereaved is the pain for the loss which is enhanced by a feeling of inability to deal with strangers, of not being sure if one is fulfilling the deceased’s wishes, and, of course: “am I being ripped off?”

“The vultures are hovering” Yes, there are individuals who fit the description to a “T” but they are a distinct minority. And it is precisely “Due Diligence” that will practically eliminate the possibility of falling in their hands (claws).

“Are these the right people?”

References and recommendations are a good starting point but, if you don’t meet them….. remember “one man’s meat…….”

“Why should you go through this uncomfortable process?”

Because once it is done one’s own feeling of relief, and of our loved ones, is huge.

“Once I’m gone….it’s someone else’s problem” Remember…..at some point you’ll surely be that “someone else” 50

www.webexpressguide.com

Nobody wants to talk about dying or talk about death, unfortunately it is inevitable and it will happens to every living person or creature as sure as tomorrow is another day.

Therefore considering a funeral plan is one way to force us to comply with our diligence.

Funeral costs continue to rise each year, the longer we live the more it will cost this is why the main reason for considering the purchase of a funeral plan is to fix the cost at today’s prices not just so but it can be paid in one lump sum or by instalments.

The added bonus is that a funeral plan will relieve the family of a serious headache and problem at a time of stress or even possible financial difficulties.

As opposed to using the services of a company that only deals with funeral plans, using an established Spanish funeral director that offers a funeral plan such, as Camero, will guarantee that the funeral will take place exactly as planned, without failures and with no other costs to be added.

Even if you don’t purchase a plan after considering various alternatives you will be in a better position to reduce the stress for, either yourself or your loved ones. However for this exercise to be of any value you must share the results of your research with those who might have to take care of “things” at the time of bereavement.

Is your pet a substitute for a proper

life?

I have always thought an animal has a place in our lives and our hearts. I love my dogs; my dogs love me as do all my pets.

I am a dog person and I have never been without one. I feed them, water them, exercise them; they love me. They would guard the house, guard me and my children, eat when I say, sleep when I say, bark when I say.

They can be with me or stay at home and yet not destroy the house in my absence or annoy the neighbours with constant barking.

54

www.webexpressguide.com

I like big dogs, they seem to serve a purpose, but never have my dogs become my whole life, or even a cat, for that matter. So what’s going on lately? You pick up a pet magazine and the pages are full of pet problems: “Dear Mr Dog expert, I have a small dog and I take him everywhere in a small doggie-bag, but now I can’t seem to be able to leave the house without him. I don’t understand it.

“Derr! Well, excuse me, if he thinks from birth he is joined to you by a small pouch, no wonder! I think owners should be taught some common sense.

Why is it that somebody who takes a dog for a walk suddenly becomes an expert? Why do cat owners treat their cats as if they are the kings or queens or princesses of the house?

Even though they c--p in a box in the house and rip down the curtains? Why do fully grown up men not realise they look pathetic with a chiwawa on a diamante lead?

Don’t get me started on horse whisperers!

That’s a lot of bullshit. These people are only using the complete ignorance and lack of common sense of owners who should have stuck to a Tamagochi virtual pet.

If a horse bites you, smack it! If it kicks you, smack it! (But hopefully look for the telltell signs before he does). Remember it is not a baby and it is using your fear, inexperience and lack of common sense to get its own way.

Remember that if it constantly bucks you off it is not necessarily because of a bad back, maybe because of a bad rider or he just does not fancy riding.

there are none other than bad owners.

If my dog gets on my bed and refuses to get off, I would get a long handled broom push it off and then give it a swift broom up the bum. Oh, but that’s cruel! But again, like the horse that bucks you off, do you think he feels sorry for you? No! Will he sit with you at the hospital while they put a cast on your arm? No! Will he say sorry? No! So owners, yes you will get bitten and you will fall off the horse but learn that it is tough training animals. The trick is to be one step ahead of your pet. When my puppies bit or tried to bite, a swift flick on the nose every time soon stopped it. Not, ”Oh he’s playing!”

No, he is practising!

And no, Mr Natural Horsemanship, there is really no natural horsemanship. Left in the wild a horse would not saddle itself and put up jumps and naturally jump over them.

And no, you cannot ask a horse to fit to us we must tell it to and that telling has to be constant because, the moment we stop, all animals would revert back to their own natural habits. This you will find will occur in cats, dogs, horses and any animal, even husbands.

DESTINY: RISE OF IRON

THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM

Whether fighting back for the IMC or fighting back for the Militia, Pilots are the apex predator of the frontier. They are what all riflemen aspire to be – highly skilled, incredibly mobile and deadly at any range. But Pilots aren’t alone; by their side is a Titan. Towering over anything that stands in their path, Titans are lethal weapons wrapped in armour and designed to take a punch… or sword… or rocket. Individually, Pilots and Titans are a serious threat. Together they are unstoppable.

Skyrim’s main story revolves around the player character and their effort to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The game is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills.

Your Driving Licence in Spain Whilst in Spain, anyone with a foreign licence is allowed to drive legally, that is if you are a visitor not exceeding 6 months stay.

As a E.U. national with a EU/EEA driving licence, that includes the U.K., you are permitted to use your own country’s driving licence even as a resident, however if you reside for more than 2 years you will be obliged to exchange or renew your licence.

You must obtain Spanish residency before you can exchange or renew your licence. You should note that a NIE number does not necessarily mean you have Spanish residency.

Also if you have a “pardon” (register in the local census), it is not a residence either.

You may be required to provide a medical certificate with you application to exchange your driver’s licence for a Spanish one. The certificate will state how many years are to be allowed until the next medical certificate.

If in doubt about applications and procedures just contact a ‘gestoria’ and they will do all the necessary for you.

At this point an interesting question arises for UK nationals. What happens after the UK leaves the EU? Does it mean that the Spanish licence will no longer be valid in the UK? What happens with UK Spanish residents?

CAR OF THE MONTH

CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 The 505-hp Z06 is the fastest Corvette GM has ever produced. It arrived as a 2006 model in the third quarter of 2005 and is the lightest of all Corvette models.

The 2008 Corvette Z06 may not be the most beautiful car on the road, but for the money, this exemplary example of Motown metal has few peers. It’s ridiculously fast, has the agility of far more expensive European sports coupes, with an interior befitting a high end sports car.

The Z06, while claimed to be capable of reaching 198 mph (318 km/h), has an unofficial tested top speed of 216 mph (348 km/h), surpassing the Ferrari 458 Italia and 488 GTB, as well as the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Superveloce and Huracán LP610-4.

El Z06 con 505 caballos de fuerza es el Corvette GM más rápido. Llegó como modelo de 2006 en el tercer trimestre de 2005 y es el más ligero de todos los modelos Corvette.

El Corvette Z06 2008 seguramente no es el coche más bello de la carretera, pero por lo que vale hay pocos iguales. Es ridículamente rápido, tiene un manejo ágil que se puede comparar a coupés deportivos mucho más caros, con un interior de alta gama.

El Z06, es capaz de alcanzar 198 mph (318 km / h), tiene una velocidad máxima probada no oficial de 216 mph (348 km / h), superando el Ferrari 458 Italia y el 488 GTB, así como al Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 y el Huracán LP610-4.
