Festival to celebrate ‘firewater’
HE 22nd edition of the Fiesta del Orujo will be held in Potes, Cantabria, from tomorrow (Friday) until Sunday. This year, the ‘Orujero Mayor’, the patron of the festival, will be Cantabria-born actor Eduardo Noriega. Orujo is a strong liquor made in Northern Spain, obtained from the distillation of marc, the solid remains left after pressing the grapes. It is a transparent spirit with an alcohol content over 50 per cent (100 proof) and is also known as aguadente, or ‘firewater’. In Cantabria it is mainly made in the Liebana Valley where it has become an artisanal craft for some families who after making wine for themselves distil the pomace in a still. Young orujo is a colourless liquor, while aged orujo is amber. The aged variety is fermented and distilled the same way, but then poured into oak barrels to age for at least two years. Cantabria has been distilling orujo since the 14th century at least.

Mayor proposes tax for dog owners
MAYOR OF MIJAS Angel Nozal has proposed a new tax for owning a pet. The comment was made on a social networking site, where he said: “8,000 dogs in Mijas, more than 24,000 pees per day, it is simply impossible and unthinkable to clean all the streets,
pavements and corners of a town with 55,000 homes and 150km2 every day. If the pressure on the cleaning services continues, we will hold a referendum in Mijas regarding charging for owning dogs. How much should a citizen pay per day for using the streets as a place for their dogs
to pee? One euro? Well 365 days times 8,000 dogs, is €2,920,000 per year. That means 300 more people on basic income to do the cleaning. But it’s not that simple, will the innocent also have to pay the price? Will this mean that some people won’t be able to afford to own a dog? The

Police investigate ‘sale’ of 14-year-old POLICE in Malaga are investigating the alleged attempted sale of a 14-year-old Romanian girl to her boyfriend’s family. According to local Spanish daily Diario Sur, the girl was reported missing by her mother in Bilbao. Hours later she managed to talk to her on the phone. The girl said she had gone to Malaga with a friend. The mother claims she spoke to the boy’s father and told him to send the girl home, which she says he refused to do. The police in Bilbao alerted the police in Malaga who contacted the boy’s family. His father said that he had sent his nephew to pick her up with her mother’s agreement. The mother returned to the police and told them that the girl was safe with her aunt.
However, several days later, she went back, saying the family refused to return her daughter to her. The girl was located in La Palmilla district and her boyfriend’s father went to the police station to report the situation. He told police the woman had asked him for €15,000 for her daughter. He says he invited her to Malaga and he met the girl’s parents who continued to demand money and threatened to report him. He says the woman didn’t want to see her daughter and left when he wouldn’t give her money. She denies having been in Malaga. The girl claims to have been pressured to get the money from her boyfriend’s family. The investigation remains open and the girl has been taken into care.

the exams had been posted with her unique username and password, she was unable to complete them because someone else had done so in her name.

Two jewellery thieves stopped by brave duo A YOUNG man and a taxi driver helped to stop two thieves by claiming to be police. According to local Spanish daily Diario Sur, the young man heard shouting and observed three men running away from a jewellery shop in San Pedro Alcantara. He ran after them and was joined by a taxi driver. The suspects threw down a fake gun and one of the bags they were carrying. When they attempted to climb a fence, they were unable to do so and were
cornered by the two men. The quick-thinking taxi driver was the first to shout “Police, hands up or I’ll shoot,” which the other man, who had picked up the gun, mimicked. The thieves believed them and asked them not to shoot. The two men were joined by another two who also attempted to stop the trio who had just stolen €100,000 worth of jewellery. While doing so, they had been spotted by a passer-by who was also threatened, but managed to
escape. It was his shouting which alerted others to the robbery. When the Local Police arrived the young man, who was initially stopped by them, explained the situation and was invited to join the chase as the suspects managed to escape and hide in a schoolyard. Two of them, both 16, were arrested. The third, 18, escaped. All are Italian and were staying in Marbella. Almost 80 per cent of the stolen goods were recovered.

Energy-efficient driving, however, seems to be less relevant as almost a quarter of those polled did not consider it important. When asked about how their driving style was monitored, only 10 per cent of motorists said they had monitoring devices in their vehicle.
Sixty-one per cent claimed their performance was controlled through ‘observation,’ Spain being the country where this type of control is more usual. As for ways to encourage drivers to improve their skills, most of them said economic incentives were the best option. But Spanish drivers claimed they were more concerned about good performance than receiving bonuses.

Cash wanted to restructure debt
KITCHEN appliance manufacturer Fagor Electrodomesticos needs €170 million to put it on its feet. The San Sebastian company is a cooperative and most of its workers are also partners in the firm. It is currently in voluntary talks with its creditors and has debts that some sources place at €800 million.
The company is “viable,” managing director Sergio Treviño told a Diario Vasco interviewer. But Fagor needs €170 million, he said, and needs it soon to restructure its debt and prevent a domino effect that could cause its collapse. Fagor Electrodomesticos has 5,600 employees worldwide, of whom 2,000 work in the company’s five Spanish factories.
Spain’s mining sector in decline FIREDAMP, the miner’s enemy, recently took six lives in Leon. Deadly methane gas released with the coal is rapid, silent and odourless. In the past the death of a caged canary was the only warning of firedamp’s presence, but the wellequipped miners in the Emilio del Valle pit found 694 metres were still vulnerable. Firedamp and Spain’s geologically-complex mining areas make its coal uncompetitive. Large quantities of methane in many mines in Leon and Asturias require heavy investment in maintenance and safety measures. The mining sector’s decline began in the
1960s and accelerated in the 1980s. At that time, 51,127 men were employed in Spain’s pits. Now there are fewer than 5,000. Between 1990 and 2012 the industry required €24 billion of public money, but Brussels has decreed that by 2018 only mines able to survive without government funding may remain open. Jobs will be cut to 4,500 and uncertainty regarding the future prompted last year’s miners’ strike and march on Madrid. Until then, the government has promised the unions that Spanish coal will generate 7 per cent of the output of the country’s power-stations.

Although they also sell stamps, these are principally Spain’s tobacco shops, the only place where cigarettes can be bought over the counter. This is the first time since 2003 that offers have been invited. Bids will be graded according to
requirements based on location, the distance from other Estancos, floor space and distance from schools. Once all conditions are met, the only other consideration taken into account will be the amount offered. This is a far cry from the past when Estancos were inherited and remained a family business.

Recovery in the UK gains momentum THE UK economy has been on a strengthening trend for the past few months thanks to improved economic data. The feel-good factor is contagious and is gathering pace across the entire spectrum of the economy. In yet another good report out in early October, optimism in the UK financial industry advanced to its strongest level in 17 years! This is extremely good news that will likely weigh on the Bank of England’s monetary policy direction in the form of forward guidance which focuses on keeping interest rates low for at least three years. The UK recovery has encouraged investors to speculate that the Bank of England will have to lift interest rates earlier than previously indicated. At the September meeting, Governor Mark Carney suggested that the

unemployment rate will have to drop below 7 per cent before a rate increase is considered. An increasing number of investors are betting that the Bank of England will have to raise interest rates earlier if the economy keeps overheating and the move higher in the pound certainly reflects this view. The activity in the UK property market is also contributing to the recovery and it seems that the UK Government wants to keep momentum going and the good news flowing, especially as we move closer towards the general election. In a surprise announcement at

The scheme was brought forward to early October despite mounting criticism that the scheme, enabling buyers to
purchase a house with a deposit of just 5 per cent, could fuel a dangerous property bubble. In the Eurozone, confidence is also returning albeit at a much slower pace. The European Central Bank (ECB) stance is cautious and the central bankers do not seem in a rush to increase stimulus to support the recovery. ECB President Mario Draghi

acknowledges that the recovery is under way but he never fails to state that risks to the downside persist, especially due to the ongoing shutdown in the US and also to a key confidence vote in Italy in early October. Silvio Berlusconi’s attempt to unseat Prime Minister Enrico Letta dramatically failed and this contributed to restore calm in the entire region. Italy’s political crisis has been threatening the stability of the region for the past few months and Letta’s victory removes a major risk for the single currency. Nonetheless, the coalition remains fragile and any sign of political instability in Italy could send jitters again through the entire region. Overall Sterling has been nicely placed in the last month to take advantage of wobbles in Europe and the US, especially with the backdrop of an improving economic outlook.

Beware, the cost of lunch may be giving you financial indigestion… Loose change A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
“THERE’S no such thing as a free lunch,” my father says, and boy is he right. In fact this simple little midday meal can cut a hefty chunk out of a person’s income. What may seem like a harmless, but necessary, midday munch can be responsible for big annual losses. So what can we do to still fill our bellies but reduce our spending? Well, drawing up and sticking to a budget is an essential way to see where your money goes and to save for the things you want to do and buy, but
tracking every little thing can be daunting. And that’s one of the main reasons why many people give up on their budgets. So a good idea is to start small, and looking at saving at lunch is a good place to begin, because it’s surprising just how much money people fork out for this meal. In the US the average American spends €8 a day on lunch, which adds up to almost €2,000 a year. A typical Spanish lunch, along with the all-important afternoon coffee, is probably close to €8 a day too. In Rio de Janeiro the annual cost of lunch is close to €1,500, while splashing out for a steak and chips a couple of time a week in the UK will set diners back about €3,500 a year. By making your own
ADDS UP: Eating out costs thousands a year. lunch every day it’s possible to save about €5 a day, which is about €1,500 a
year of extra cash. And it doesn’t have to be a massive chore either
preparing a to-go lunch. When you’re making dinner make extra portions that can be put in the fridge in Tupperware boxes which are easy to just grab before leaving for work the next morning. A tasty sandwich takes no time to prepare in the morning, while a few nuts, bananas or dried fruits on your desk are good snacks to help keep hunger at bay, and more importantly keep you away from splashing out €8 on a menu del dia.
Can they divide their Community? Q. I am president of a Community of Property Owners, which has been functioning for the past 12 years. Our Community has 31 houses on one side of the road and 21 houses on the other side, as it was Phase One and Phase Two of the development. 1. Can we split into two Communities? 2. Does this require a unanimous vote? Our administrators say so, but we feel a majority vote should be sufficient. 3. Can we stay as one Community, but have different rules for each side of the road? 4. Smoking is a problem around the pool area. Some want it and a few don’t want it. However, it was agreed to accept it at the 2007 AGM. You and the B.C. (Costa Blanca)
Law in Spain By David Searl
A. Yes, you can split into two Communities. And, yes, this requires a unanimous vote. Any change which involves modification of the original statutes requires a unanimous vote, as set out in the Horizontal Law. It will be a long and complex process, requiring the legal dissolution of one community and the creation of two new ones. Yes, you can remain as one community, with some different regulations for each side of the road. If these rules do not involve changes in the original charter of the community, a simple majority vote should suffice. If the community has voted to accept smoking in the pool area, that is the rule. If someone wishes to change it, they can put forward a motion.

OPINION & COMMENT
Urgent talks needed for late night music bars WHY do I get the impression that the Spanish authorities want to close pubs and restaurants down? In Calahonda’s El Zoco commercial centre (Mijas Costa, Malaga), to comply with regulations, the landlords are being told ‘no music must be heard.’ A lot of tourists use this complex as their holiday destination, mainly because of its music and late bars. There is no soundproofing in these old buildings and to make them legal would cost too much money. These pubs and restaurants rely on the terrace space as they can’t squeeze everyone into a small area with music playing. As a small business, if they want to thrive and make a living, they must give what the customers want. The authorities should have a meeting with all late night business owners and come to a compromise to keep these bars and restaurants open. These bars need to open to accommodate the people that go down to the beach for the sun all day. Night-time is when they spend money and enjoy the night-life. Let us keep the Costa del Sol a holiday destination and not an old persons’ retirement resort GKS (By email)
Inappropriate DB of Palma wants people to ‘cover up’ when out and about (Letters 1476). I really do not understand why people think it appropriate to insist on others wearing clothes when it is warm enough for clothing not to be required. The naked human body is no more offensive than the body of a hippopotamus. In my view, the vast majority of people have accepted brainwashing by the people who have control of the major religions of Europe and the Americas to believe that they should be offended by the sight of naked bodies.

I HAD to stop the car and take this picture. It was a stunning sunset taken near Coin (Malaga). By Lucinda Monk (by email) Think of the money that could be saved if the security controls at airports, banks, etc, could be done away with because people would have nowhere to hide guns, grenades and rocket launchers. And for me personally, I would not have to get dressed just to go to the shops for my daily bread. Written in the ‘nudist colony’ ghetto of Vera Playa. Mike Roberts, Vera Playa (Almeria)
A fine threat REGARDING your story about Alcoy Council threatening to fine people €750 for feeding stray cats (Costa Blanca North, Issue 1478). Perhaps a better way would be to fine owners for not neutering and spaying their cats instead of throwing them out when they become pregnant. One person’s opinion when asked about neutering her tom cat was: “Oh, but that would spoil him.” Enough said!! Sheila Broderick (By email)

Ticking off IN regard to the letter from Anthony Jones that prostitution should be made legal in Spain (Letters Issue 1478). It has not been illegal since 1995, when it was decriminalised. There are, however, restrictions imposed by some municipalities on where they can operate. Pimping is illegal, but operating a brothel is legal, although the owner cannot directly benefit from the prostitutes’ earnings. I wish readers would do a little research before putting pen to paper. E G, Fuengirola (Malaga)
Justin Hunter’s letter calling for Sunday trading ( Letters 1476 ) drew a mixed response from readers...
Go home WHY does Justin Hunter want Sunday trading? These people who want to change the culture of the country they live in are annoying. I would assume they came to live here because of the way of life and the weather. If they don’t like it, go back to where they came from. GB, Albanchez (Almeria)
Quite right SUNDAY trading would be a huge boon to the community. In the summer many tourist area shops can open all week, and it is noticeable that most shops take advantage. They would not pay the extra staffing costs if it did not work. Your correspondent is quite right - it is time to open on a Sunday. P Wilson, Estepona (Malaga)

Heart-warming DOES Mr Hunter really want to see Spain’s family life and the peace we have, sent into oblivion? Isn’t it heart-warming to see several generations of families all together eating/walking/ enjoying life on the one day they can be together? Did we not leave the UK to escape rampant commercialism of our lives among other things? We do not need seven-day trading if we organise our lives accordingly. Companies will employ extra staff? Doubtful, existing staff will be forced to work extra hours as has happened in the UK. Yes, Spain should modernise and keep up with the times, but it must not destroy what is holy and rare in today’s world - family life, peace and tranquillity on one day a week. Beverley and Peter, Alhaurin (Malaga)
Face facts WHILE the debate over global warming heats up, it’s surprising that many experts ignore one of the main causes of environmental degradation: runaway world population. In 1900, the world population was 1.6 billion; in 1950, there were 2.5 billion; in the year 2000, 6.7 billion; and the projection for the year 2050 is that there will be almost 12 billion human beings. The life expectancy in most developed countries is already well into the 80s, and the rest of the world will achieve this in due course. A human being lives an average of three generations (75 years or more). With only two births per couple, when my wife and I die we’ll have left behind 12 more beings on the planet. It’s not arithmetic, but geometric. The Earth cannot sustain such growth, especially if we all aspire to a ‘First World’ lifestyle. Confronting this inconvenient truth entails difficult moral, ethical and sociological problems, but if we continue to ignore them the consequences for humanity will be unimaginable.

Learning about internet TV
MORE than 80 mainly British people attended the IPTV (Internet Televison) seminar organised by BM Promotions at the Hotel Guadalmina. Presentations were made by Tony Monks of Astra2.TV who talked about dedicated servers providing live and catch up TV by subscription. Wayne Clarke talked about Raspberry Pi and Android media boxes and Alan Jones, who talked about various aspects of internet connections and TV availibility via satellite, internet and local broadcast. The concept of IPTV initially seemed to be beyond many of those attending, possibly due to the terminology, with most bewildered as to why it was not ‘free,’ as the channels they wanted to watch are ‘free to air,’ albeit in another country. It was clear from the many questions being asked after each presentation that the majority of expatriates are confused by the options that are being advertised, and by the many different channel packages that are promised. The speakers were united in confirming that premium ‘pay to view’ channels like Sky Sports/ Movies cannot be legally obtained and the future of their satellite broadcasting along the Costa del Sol is uncertain. The subject of internet connections was covered at
length, both cable and WiFi, and the amount of data needed to watch TV was a surprise to most people. Data usage has probably not been much of an issue up until now, but if the expected switch off of the BBC, ITV etc ‘free to air channels’ happens, and people turn to IPTV for their TV, individual data usage will go up and ISPs (Internet Service Providers like Telefonica, Jazztel, Orange etc) will almost certainly invoke their ‘fair use’ policy governing the amount of data each user can use per month. This will result in a reduced speed and consequently affect the viewing of streaming video. Wayne’s presentation about DIY internet TV interested quite a few people, especially those who wanted the cheapest possible option, but many felt they would not have the expertise to be able to configure computers and media centre boxes, but by doing it yourself it was clear that a huge wealth of TV was available free to view, albeit at the cost of an internet connection. More seminars, in different areas of the Costa del Sol are currently being finalised (see advert on page 35) and anyone wanting to attend one should contact Martyn Wood of BM Promotions for more details by email martynwood@gmail.com or call 952 661 819 10am to 6pm weekdays.

Consular workshops help educate charities THE British Consulate organised a workshop for social workers, charities and community bodies to learn about the problems faced by British nationals. British Vice-Consul Rosslyn Crotty explained: “We are seeing an increase in British citizens who are in desperate need of assistance following an illness or cash problems. “This is a growing concern. We want people to think about the future, speak to their families and take steps to plan for the years ahead before it’s too late.” Difficulties facing British nationals include those who have received hospital treatment and are ready to be discharged but have no one to look after them, people who desperately need residential care but are ineligible as they failed to register on the padron, or municipal roll, and others who failed to register for Social Security cards and so are not covered by the Spanish NHS.
There are also residents who find themselves homeless and have either lost their passports or allowed them to expire, and thus cannot get help from many support charities. The consulate and charity groups are warning British citizens who are resident in Spain that they must register on the padron at their local town halls in order to qualify for help from Social Services in the future. Anette Skou of the Foreigners Department in Mijas, said: “In most cases where Social Services are powerless to help, it is because the British nationals involved have not registered on the padron. We urge all British residents in Spain to register on the padron, you have nothing to lose.” The workshop was attended by the Royal British Legion, Red Cross, Age Concern, Age Care, Caritas, The Soroptomists, Lux Mundi and La Cala Diabetics Association, as well as
social workers from across Malaga Province, all of whom come into contact with British residents on a daily basis. Charity groups also stressed the huge importance in Spanish culture of providing family support to people in difficulty. There are laws in Spain designed to avoid family members
being abandoned to the State. But in the UK, society’s expectations of the social support provided by public hospitals and services are higher. British expatriates often fail to understand the much greater level of support that family and friends are expected to provide in Spain, charity groups pointed out.

Les Miserables (Film, 2012) Victor Hugo's epic 19th-century commentary on social injustice is brought expertly to the screen in spine-tingling, Oscar-winning fashion. The drama follows the life of Gallic convict Jean Valjean (an Oscarnominated Hugh Jackman) who jumps parole and builds a new existence as a respectable town mayor. With the kindling of revolution beginning to smoulder, he finds himself caught between his misunderstood past and attempts at redemption, before being forced to make some decisions that will forever affect his life, and those of his police captain pursuer Javert (Russell Crowe) and the young orphan girl Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) whom he saved and raised as his own. 7:00am Shakespeare in Love 9:10am My Best Friend's Wedding 11:00am Les Miserables 1:40pm Apollo 13 4:00pm Philadelphia 6:10pm My Best Friend's Wedding 8:00pm Les Miserables 10:45pm Evita 1:05am Baby, It's You 3:00am City of Angels 5:05am Anastasia

No one is born a racist LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
BLACK OR WHITE: How racism can be passed on.
N
O child is born a racist. It is the world of adults that instils the idea that some of us may be different, or in some way unacceptable to others. To a child born in this 21st century, particularly in the West, it is perfectly normal for them to be surrounded by children of all creeds and ethnic backgrounds. Watch any group of children in creches or playgrounds and you will observe them all playing happily together, with no hint of favouritism or antagonism towards each other. So when does the ugly face of racial intolerance begin to manifest itself? Of course, a great deal of it is passed directly from the parents. Racist parents, constantly demonstrating intolerance of others, will sooner or later instil it into their own offspring. But I think in many cases it starts earlier than that and in my opinion, it is the media that must accept a lot of the blame. I think many of the children’s charities should sit down and have a rethink as to how they use the media to circulate their appeal campaigns. Day after day we are inundated with emaciated children, covered in flies with

Deadly bananas A BRITISH family had to evacuate their home after discovering dozens of venomous Brazilian wandering spiders in a bunch of bananas they had bought from a Sainsbury’s supermarket.
Jet-setting gator bulging eyes and inflated bellies. There are no watersheds to these appeals, so from a tender age little ones are constantly exposed to sights of the appalling living conditions and deprived suffering of children and babies. And 99 times out of 100 they are all black! Is it any wonder then that youngsters begin to observe each other differently? What makes it worse is that these children are, by the very state of their circumstances, also observed by these young minds to be inferior to those with full bellies, white parents and taps full of water. And how do the black tots react to this situation? Well to me it’s obvious. Firstly they must, after observing these images of deprived children, most of whom are the
same colour as themselves, begin to themselves feel in some way inferior. This must soon be taken over by any number of emotions. Jealousy, confusion, mistrust, anger and, above all, among both black and white, the previously unrealised fact that they are indeed not all the same. And there you have it. All the ingredients of future unrest and possible conflict. The birth of racism. What these charity groups can do about the situation, I have no idea. Perhaps the best plan of action would be a watershed to showing these images. At least it would prevent impressionable minds from becoming racists before they can speak.

and not entirely impartial reaction - to the Spanish political scene
S
PAIN’S President Mariano Rajoy would doubtless have preferred to pretend that the US does not monitor Spain’s communications. The Spanish right now are concerned about surviving on a day-to-day domestic basis. Few are going to waste precious energy over working themselves into an outraged lather about 90 million eavesdropped communications. They left that to the media, which embraced the NSA scandal as a change of flavour after the usual StrasbourgBarcenas-Crisis fodder. The government reluctantly responded by summoning the US ambassador for an explanation while quavering about “erosion of trust.” The NSA subsequently claimed that Spain and France carried out the original eavesdropping before passing the information to the US.

A weekly look
Rajoy must be relieved he did not do a Dilma Rousseff and cancel a Washington visit. Although, unlike his Brazilian counterpart, he has yet to receive an invitation and is unlikely to do anything to spoil his chances of getting one.
Danger money SIX coalminers died in Leon, overcome by methane as they worked 694 metres below ground. These were the last in the inevitably long line of deaths that occur wherever men have to hack out coal to earn a living. The devastating blow to the families of the men who died is also another debilitating blow to Spain’s struggling coal industry. Miners went on strike and marched on Madrid last year to protest at reductions in subsidies and their future is still uncertain. The Leon deaths are a further reminder that however much a miner is paid he earns it. Very often with his life.

Right side of the law RAJOY prudently stayed away from the Madrid protest against the Court of Human Rights ruling on the Parot Doctrine. The Strasbourg ruling forced the government to backtrack on plans to make ETA convicts serve longer than their original sentences, to the dismay of victim support associations. No minister was present at the demonstration organised by the most vociferous groups although most
PRUDENT: Spain’s President Mariano Rajoy. of the PP hierarchy attended. Used to turning out for anti-government demos in the Zapatero days, Esperanza Aguirre, Madrid Mayor Ana Botella, and others expected a warm welcome. To their surprise they got the bird, were booed and barracked. One of the associations, the AVT, called for the government to “reconsider” the Strasbourg decision. Rajoy knows there is nothing to reconsider because the government’s compliance is what living under rule of law means. Anything less reduces it to the same level as lawbreakers and terrorists.
Long-term terms THERE has never been a “life means life” sentence in Spain, although this is about to change. Some legal experts here have questioned whether this is wise or ethical as it eliminates the possibility of rehabilitation and prejudges its impossibility. Those used to the British system are happy enough to see it applied in some circumstances. How many people would feel easy at seeing Ian Brady on the street?

Whistleblower’s revelations reminiscent of the Cold War Laura Poitras_Praxis Films
Bruce Walbran HISTORICALLY SPEAKING Bruce - a former UK career linguist - has studied national history and culture for years. A Spanish resident for two decades, he lives in Alfaz del Pi near Benidorm.
H
E just won’t go away. Whistleblower Edward Snowden, via journalist Glenn Greenwald, has revealed details of yet more illegal surveillance carried out by the US on its allies, one of whom is Spain. An aggrieved Spanish Government summoned the American ambassador in Madrid to explain his country’s actions. One of the questions asked might have been why, in just one month (December 10, 2012 to January 8, 2013) 60 million communications in Spain were monitored and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA). Multiply that number globally, and billions upon billions of phone calls, emails, text messages and web searches were monitored and stored over the past decade.
But we mustn’t worry too much. The NSA and GCHQ, among other eavesdropping organisations, are collecting and storing this data for reasons of national and international security. They assure us they are doing it to keep us safe from that most ubiquitous of enemies: Islamic
EXPOSÉ: Edward Snowden told of yet more illegal surveillance by the US on its allies, one of whom is Spain. fundamentalist terrorism. It reminds me of the Cold War. Serving as a Russian linguist in the Intelligence Corps in West Germany during the mid-80s I was tasked with listening to Soviet communications, principally those of the Third Shock Army in East Germany. And listen I did. But I didn’t hear a great deal. There just wasn’t that much going on. The Russian armies in East Germany had been rusting away for well over a decade. Russia had no money to restore the Red Army to its former glory. The same applied to the nuclear side of things. But that didn’t fit with the narrative of the time. Through the Reagan and Thatcher years the threat of the Soviet menace was cranked up, even when Gorbachev began to push for ‘perestroika’ and ‘glasnost’. They were determined to get every last mile they could out of the Cold War to keep those tax dollars coming in and keep the Military Industrial Complex rolling
on, though they insisted it was done with the intention of keeping the free peoples of the world safe from Bolshevik aggression. Why would it be any different today? Are Obama and Cameron cut from a more righteous cloth than their predecessors? I think not. Just as happened through the Cold War, we are bombarded with threats, this time of terrorism, through governmental channels and through the complicit mainstream media. So we allow our governments more power, we spend more on defence and on surveillance, and we allow our liberties to be eroded. Only when a person of conscience comes along and blows the whistle do we realise how much our governments have abused their powers. Thanks to Snowden we now have a chance not only to give the American ambassador in Madrid an ear bashing, but also to return America, the most powerfully militarised surveillance state the world has ever known, to some form of sane behaviour. The UK, no doubt, will follow suit.

UST when you thought the world of political correctness could not get any sillier, along comes that strange body, the European Court of Human Rights, and demands that convicted terrorists of ETA, the militant Basque separatist group, be released from prison. Now, I have little to do with either side of the Basque conundrum, but I would feel rather concerned if a convicted terrorist - many having killed were to set up home next door. It seems the hand of a reluctant Spanish government has been forced in the matter, which, as with many rulings by the European Court, appears based on technicalities rather than common sense. These busybodies in Strasbourg, France,
EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS: Rules on technicalities rather than common sense. evidently have little else to do to justify their time, so I thought one excellent suggestion would be for them to reach out and ‘adopt a terrorist.’ Surely these Eurocrats have plenty of room in their fine houses (probably paid for by the European taxpayer - that would be us, dear readers) to lend a comfy en suite room to one of ETA’s most assiduous members. They could bond over dinners, the busybody perhaps sharing
riveting details of red tape and bureaucracy, while the terrorist could hold court about how to make a home-made bomb to cause maximum damage. I wonder how quickly, at that point, the motion to release the prisoners would be rescinded..? But at least that way, the families of the victims would be spared the assassins’ gloating presence in their communities. And while ETA declared an end to
its campaign in 2011, few would surely sleep soundly with the knowledge of who was now skulking around the neighbourhood freely. One of those released, Ines del Rio, was shown in the media smiling as she left prison, where she spent 26 years for her role in 23 murders and terrorist attacks during the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, the decision was vehemently protested against by the public and government alike -
two sides of a coin that rarely agree. Just over a year for each kill doesn’t sound like any justice I would subscribe to, yet the European Court insisted that the releases be made and, in some cases, compensation paid. Now, I believe it is more probable for pigs to fly or hell to freeze over than for any President of the United States to release confirmed terrorists early or at all. Certainly not from a nation that is so paranoid about national security that it spies on the rest of the world - another source of outrage here in Spain, where it was recently revealed that the US National Security Agency had tapped some 60 million phone calls in just one month. I can’t tell you which is worse political correctness or ardent disregard and disrespect of other nations - but if I were a terrorist or criminal of any kind, there is no doubt that I would base myself in Europe, where I could wave the Human Rights flag at the first sign of trouble. Thus keeping those busy Eurocrats in jobs paid for by the European taxpayer.

N
OT far from Costa shorelines lies the wreck of a once proud ocean liner. Was the MV Monte Rosa cursed by fate? The ship’s damnation was to dog every nautical league of its last voyage. Setting out from Japan in February 1954, its 1,276 passengers and crew had every reason to look forward to a pleasant voyage. Their ocean odyssey would be crowned by a homecoming to an England many had not seen for years. Passengers included military families of servicemen based in the Far East. Various were survivors of the Korean War. Among the wounded were veterans of the Battle of the Hook. Many were stretcher-carried up the gangways, The ‘Dukes’ from the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment, outnumbered in battle by five to one, had taken honours but casualties, too. Sailing from Yokohama and Kure, the
ILL-FATED: MV Monte Rosa sank while being towed to Gibraltar. Monte Rosa’s passengers and crew were to endure the voyage from hell. Defects in the super liner’s propulsion system needed constant running repairs. The luckless liner spent more time wallowing helplessly in the Indian Ocean than sailing. The three-week anticipated passage to Port Said in Egypt took an excruciating eight weeks to accomplish. It must have brought great relief to all on board when Monte Rosa finally limped into Port Said. Now, only the Mediterranean lay between them and
Those aboard endured eight weeks of hell England. The liner had known far happier days. It had once cruised the sun-drenched Aegean, Ionian, Adriatic and other seas that make up the Mediterranean. However, that was before the 1939-1945 World War.
From 1930 to 1945, the 13,882-tonne liner had been one of Germany’s fleet of super liners. Built by Hamburg shipbuilders Bohm and Voss the Monte Rosa was one of five sister-ships. Under the Kraft Durche Freude (Strength through Joy) leisure scheme Monte Rosa was to later provide German workers and their families the opportunity to take cruises that were previously the preserve of the elite. During the war the liner was used as a troopship. Departing the Egyptian port, the ill-fated liner embarked on the last leg of its voyage. But, sailing off Algiers an engine room fire resulted in a cataclysmic explosion. Four crew members were killed. The rescue of the remaining 1,276 passengers and crew was successful, but the hulk, whilst being towed to Gibraltar, sank beneath the waves. The Monte Rosa, seized as a war prize in 1945 and renamed MV Empire Windrush, pioneered West Indian immigration to Britain. Other liners soon joined in the massive Caribbean exodus. However, the MV Monte Rosa aka MV Empire Windrush will forever be known for its part in changing the face of Britain forever.

OPINION & COMMENT
Myths, legends and rumours… Some sayings don’t stand up to closer examination Nora Johnson
Breaking Views A Costa del Sol resident for a number of years, Nora is the author of psychological suspense and crime thrillers. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/columnists/nora-johnson
T
HE recent discovery of gold particles in the leaves of eucalyptus trees in Western Australia has completely overturned the old saying “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Which made me wonder which other sayings simply don’t stand up to closer examination… Murphy’s Law (“if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong and at the worst possible moment”) is also way off the mark. For instance, ripping off a shirt button or breaking a shoelace when in a rush is probably down to the extra stress you’re under when you know you’re late and need to get somewhere fast. Likewise: “Healthy as a horse.” Any horse owner will tell you that a horse is like an Italian sports car. If it can break down, it will. “Ne’er cast a clout till May be out.” In
NOT TRUE: Lightning never strikes in the same place.
other words, don’t break out the barbie until May’s safely behind you. Really? This year in the UK, it was more like July before it was anywhere near warm enough to mothball those winter woollies. “Lightning never strikes in the same place twice.” Rubbish! Lightning strikes repeatedly wherever the surface offers
points of conductivity - usually in those places where the conditions produce lots of thunderstorms. After all, that’s the sole purpose of lightning conductors: to make the inevitable strikes harmless by offering them a seductive sitting duck that’ll deal with the discharge safely. “Cracking your knuckles gives you
arthritis.” Most medical studies have found no link whatsoever between this annoying habit and arthritis. The cracking sound isn’t bones being mangled out of shape but the release of pockets of gas from between joints. That said, long periods of knuckle-cracking may contribute to lesser grip strength. So best pack it in, anyway. Basically, these sayings are all just metaphors that were never meant to be taken literally. And straight out of the “I saw you coming” school of coffee-table books! Finally, on a completely different note, many thanks to all of you who’ve purchased my novels, The De Clerambault Code, Soul Stealer and Retribution, which I wrote about here two weeks ago.

Eighteen years have passed since American Jesse and Frenchwoman Céline met on a transEuropean train and fell in love. Jesse wrote a novel based on the experience which became a US bestseller and led him to meet Céline again after an interval of almost a decade. The couple now lives in Paris, proud parents to two young girls. However, their lives are far from perfect. Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Directed by Richard Linklater. Runtime 109 minutes. Rated 15.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled. Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented month, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times. Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible.

Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you.

When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the 'bad guy', but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing.

TOP TEN GAMES CONSOLES FOLLOWING the SEGA Mega Drive console’s recent 25th anniversary, this week’s top 10 looks at the world of gaming consoles. 1. PlayStation 2 The second iteration of the PlayStation series is probably the most known and successful console to date. In its 12-year lifespan, the PlayStation 2 sold more than 150 million units and more than 1.5 billion games, many of them released exclusively for the console. 2. Nintendo Wii 1 in terms Even though not very powerful of hardware, the Wii brought a new form of player interaction with the motion control. Its remote controller detects movement in three dimensions, which made games more accessible to casual players. 3. Atari 2600 Launched in 1977, the Atari 2600 popularised the use of ROM cartridges in videogames. It’s been described by experts as the console behind the first videogame boom and the one that the videogame industry is built upon. 4. PlayStation The original PlayStation was born as a result of a

7. Super NES The heir to the NES, the Super NES was launched in the early 1990’s to a great success. It won the so-called ‘videogame war’ against the Mega Drive after selling nearly 50 million units worldwide. Additionally, the console introduced advanced graphics and sound capabilities compared with other consoles at the time.

AN MP with a choux fetish; a Paddington Bear with a penchant for aprons and a squirming Batman in baggy blue Batpants. These are just a few of the bizarre and humorous but true, tales that come to light in a new book written by Torrevieja home owner Jacky Donovan. Originally from Newcastle, Jacky was a strong student, a successful career woman and
a loyal wife, before she swapped all of that for a life as a dominatrix in London in command of her own dungeon. She said: “A series of unplanned events; fate led me to a fetish club and from there came my business plan to open a dungeon.” As her alter ego, Mistress Kimberley, a high class dominatrix dressed in black leather, Jacky often indulged the strange fantasies

Parents and children dressing alike? SOME high-street fashion retailers appear to have come up with a new way to make money… selling matching outfits for parents and children. Do you think that nowadays children are often dressed in more adult clothing? Do you think this has an effect on their childhood?
THE idea of parents and children wearing matching outfits got a mixed reaction from our readers. Diana Feria, a mother who is about to open a shop in Arroyo de la Miel for secondhand baby items, said: “My husband and I share the belief that every person, be it adult or child, has his or her own personality and linking them by dressing alike is not ‘logical’. We’ve never dressed like our children or made them dress in the same way as us, because we each have our own identity to express. Even if we had twins we would never dress them alike.” Elise Clement said there is nothing wrong with matching outfits; however, she does
Diana Feria: Not ‘logical’.
STREET TALK believe high streets should be cautious with the designs and ensure they are suitable for children. “Too many kids are dressing too old and want to look older too quick.” The Rojales student, 14, said when she was younger she did want to dress like her mum, wearing her high heels, “but most little girls do, it’s just dress-up. I wouldn’t want to dress like her now, we have different styles.” But Sharon Carter, a mother-of-two from London who is holidaying on the Costa Blanca, said: “I’ve never really noticed matching mother and child outfits in the stores, apart from maybe in the odd magazine with celebrities doing it. I can’t see it catching on and becoming the norm. Children’s fashion should not mimic adult styles.”
Michael and Bev: ‘It’s ridiculous’.
Tony and Celeine Lonsdale live in La Alfoquia. Tony is retired and Celeine is a nurse for Almeria Angels. She said: “We are not keen on the idea of matching outfits. Kids should be brought up as kids. They shouldn’t be wearing adult type clothing. We think they should enjoy their childhood and not be dressed as adults.” Michael and Bev Thistleton, who are both retired and live in Albanchez, agreed: “Matching outfits are ridiculous. Children are dressed in adult clothing and are growing up too quick. It does have an effect, they want to grow up too soon and it can be dangerous for children.”

Little feet need looking after Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com CHILDREN’S feet have to carry them through life and it is estimated that from the time a child takes its first steps, he or she will walk the equivalent of four times around the world. At birth, the bones in babies feet are not yet fully formed and are mostly still cartilage; in fact, most are born with flat feet. As the feet grow, the cartilage starts changing into bone and the foot
strengthens and lengthens. Your baby’s feet will grow quickly and will reach almost half their adult foot size during their first year. Most children start to take their first steps between 10-18 months. Let your child walk barefoot as much as possible and always when indoors. Walking barefoot is completely natural and allows the muscles and ligaments to grow straight and strong. When he or she is ready to walk outdoors, it is time to consider buying your

child’s first shoes, as the main purpose at this stage is to protect their feet. These shoes should be lightweight, flexible and made of natural or breathable materials. They must be comfortable straight away; if they need to be ‘broken in’ then they are not the right shoes for your child. Poorly-fitting shoes restrict a child’s feet and can cause foot problems and deformities so, make
sure the shoes are the proper length, width, depth and shape. Take time to find a good shoe shop, with competent shoe fitters, as they can help you select the right shoes for your child. As growth spurts can occur at any time, expect your child to outgrow their shoes well before the shoes are worn out. Toddlers often require new shoes every two to three months; young children (24-36 months) every three to four months and children over three years, every four to six months. You need to take the same care with socks as you do with shoes. Socks are shaped like a tube, not a foot, so if a sock is too tight it can place constant pressure over the foot. By the age of five, your child’s feet will start to look more like your own and
growth spurts begin to slow down. The good news is that you won’t have to replace your child’s shoes quite as often but remember, the feet are still vulnerable to damage so you need to take the same amount of care as you have done up to now. Little active feet love to walk, run, jump… but sometimes these same little feet need help. A special type of orthotic insole designed especially for children may help little problems before they become big ones! These go inside their shoes and support the foot in its natural posture to make the feet more comfortable. The philosophy behind is to give gentle, ‘forgiving’ support and to enhance the natural development of your child’s musculoskeletal system.

Dress-size matters SIZE 16 women are among the happiest and most comfortable in their own skin, according to a new study. The research found 74 per cent are happy with their appearance, nearly twice as many as the 42 per cent who are size six. And 49 per cent of women whose weight has fluctuated in the past three years, reveal they were at their happiest with a fuller, size 16 figure. The research also found 52 per cent of size six women would like to be curvier. The results showed women sized 14 to 18, have a more positive frame of mind when it comes to their appearance. And in comparison, those sized six to 10 are much more critical of their look, with just 59 per cent saying they are happy with their appearance.

Mission to the Philippines THE idea of going on a dental volunteer trip has always been there and has always been one of the aspects of our profession that we at Riviera Dental Clinic value most, to help people that are in need. We never joined any organisation, rather we just contacted some people there privately and filled our suitcases with all instruments and anaesthetics that we could and headed off for a big adventure. During our stay we treated 600 children in six intensive days. We helped them with new toothbrushes and toothpaste since they are hard to get in El Cuyo. El Cuyo is situated 28 hours’ boatride from the mainland and the people there can’t afford to get to a bigger city for medical and dental treatment. So they rely on these kind of help missions and sometimes have to wait in pain up to a year until someone comes and help them. Our aim in Riviera Dental clinic is to use one month of the year to go

Babies remember music played whilst in womb SCIENTISTS believe that babies who were played music whilst still in the womb remembered the tune months after being born. Researchers at the University of Helskini (Finland) gave a CD to 12 pregnant women and asked them to play it five times a week during the last three months of pregnancy before destroying the CD after giving birth to ensure any memory of the songs came from pregnancy. The researchers said that the babies could remember the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star up to four months after birth. The researchers believed: “These results show that babies are capable of learning at a very young age and that the effects of learning remain apparent in the brain for a long time.” However, the study did point out that playing classical music in the womb may not be a way of boosting a baby’s intelligence later on in life.
Unborn babies recall music up to four months after birth.
A workplace nap BUSINESSES are looking to introduce midday naps for workers to increase productivity. Due to longer work hours and more sleep-deprived workers, more workplaces
are embracing naps and even creating designated rooms for them. This comes as a result of studies by The Harvard Medical Schools in the USA which suggest that when done properly, naps can be extremely beneficial in retaining memory accurately, upping productivity, and improving performance. But, beware! There’s an art to grabbing the perfect nap; if done incorrectly you could reap no benefits, or wake up groggy and feeling worse than before you nodded off.

Forget salt and pepper, use bacon instead BACON: The ultimate in seasoning.
NO SUGAR: New drink is just 60 calories a glass.
Champagne launched for the calorieconscious A LOW calorie Champagne has been launched. Champagne generally contains around 100 calories per glass. Sugar is added at the end of fermentation to ‘finish’ the Champagne with 12 17 per cent sugar being standard.
Now, Champagne maker Alexandre Penet has created the no sugar Brut Nature Cuvée Grand Cru, which contains just 60 calories a glass. The Champagne is available via Thomson and Scott website for £49 (€55) per bottle.
MOST dishes taste better with bacon. That’s according to research which suggests it is the ultimate seasoning. The Food Network carried out an analysis of 50,000 recipes and over 900,000 comments which showed that few dishes taste worse when bacon is added; creamy pasta dishes and desserts being the exception. To back it up, the point has now been mathematically proven. The exact chemical reaction that makes bacon smell so tempting occurs between an amino acid and a reducing sugar when heated. These combine and release smells and flavours to make people salivate. Researchers then carried out tests on average food ratings with and without bacon and found that bacon improved the scores.

Spanish home-made mango jam hits stores THE first home-made mango jam manufactured in Spain has been launched. The product can be found in gourmet shops, herbalists and fruit shops all over the country from €2.50.
The jam is made with no added preservatives or artificial colours, and is 75 per cent mango flesh and 22 per cent sugar. The remaining 3 per cent is lemon juice, which serves as a natural preservative. It can be stored up to three years, although it is recommended to consume it in a period of a year to prevent it from losing its antioxidant properties. Malaga Mango Jam (Mmm) is the company behind this creation, which is made entirely with
Osteen mango. This variety is grown in the Malaga region of the Axarquia, where the company is based, one of Spain’s main subtropical fruit producers. The company expects to sell 20,000 jars of homemade mango jam per year at a price of €3.50 each. To meet this demand, they need at least 10,000 kilos of the subtropical fruit, they claimed. The Pharmacy College at the University of Granada is carrying out a study to determine the nutritional value of the jam. In the meantime, Mmm representatives claim the jam elevates the flavour of the mango, something which is very appealing to children, they added.

A PLEASURE: No need to cut down on chocolate if on a diet.
Chocolate doesn’t make people fat CHOCOLATE has gone from guilty pleasure to just a pleasure. A study carried out at the University of Granada has revealed that teenagers who eat more chocolate have less excess fat on their bodies. The research studied chocolate as a food traditionally linked to obesity, and measured the body fat index of 1,458 Spanish teenagers. The findings were surprising: those who eat more chocolate are the thinner.
The researchers, however, didn’t seem to be so surprised as they stressed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the once-banned-fromdiets food. In fact, they claim what makes people fat in chocolate are the sugar and milk used to make it. The researchers added that cutting down on chocolate on a diet is pointless as, although it doesn’t make people lose weight, it doesn’t make them fat either.

This year’s autumn exhibition at Madrid’s Prado Museum provides an insight into Spanish history, culture and art, covering the period between 1650 and 1680.
The king and Velazquez Velazquez had been influenced by Rubens and was acknowledged as one of the finest portrait painters of the baroque era, although never quite reaching the status of his contemporary, Rembrandt. During his visits to Italy, considered the Mecca for artists, his talent as a portrait artist was recognised by Pope Innocent X. When he returned to Madrid as official artist to the royal family, his relationship with the king gave him access to the palace, which was a rare privilege. The first part of the exhibition displays portraits of the pope and cardinals in Rome and includes two of King Felipe IV. A large section is devoted to the numerous portraits of the queen, Mariana of Austria, Maria Teresa, both her stepdaughter and cousin, and especially her

T was a defining moment in Felipe IV’s reign with political, military and financial crisis, and the culmination of Velazquez’s illustrious career as official artist to the royal family during the golden age of Spanish art. It also provides a comparison between his works and those of his assistants and successors, Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo, his son-in-law, and Juan Carreno. Felipe IV had been going through a difficult period when he married Mariana of Austria in 1649. His first wife, Elizabeth of France, had died in 1644 and two years later he lost his 17-year-old son and heir, Baltasar Carlos, to smallpox. Two years after the marriage, La Infanta Margarita was born and in the same year Velazquez returned to Madrid from Rome. It was the start of an extraordinarily close relationship between the king and the artist.

Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez daughter, La Infanta Margarita, wearing the traditional framed dresses in a variety of colours. His paintings of Felipe Prospero and La Infanta Margarita were considered to be among the finest portraits of children up to that time. Although his earlier portraits were classical with the subject against a dark background, he took advantage of using real locations in the palace and adding personal objects such as flower vases, pets and ornaments to give a greater sense of family life, space and depth to his works. This is evident in his masterpiece, Las Meninas, which is included as part of the exhibition even though it remains in its permanent place in the Prado.
Las Meninas A family portrait Despite its complexity it remains a family portrait including La Infanta Margarita, her maids of honour, dwarfs and pets as well as Velazquez himself and the king and queen, who are reflected in
the mirror. Velazquez is believed to have borrowed the idea of using mirrors in his works from the Arnolfini Marriage, Van Eyck’s masterpiece, in the National Gallery, London.
Some works never before seen in Spain Controversy has arisen over a ‘copy’ of Las Meninas, attributed to his son-in-law, which belongs to the William Bankes collection at Kingston Lacy in Dorset, UK, now part of the National Trust, believed to have been painted in 1660, the year of Velazquez’s death. It came to England during the early part of the 19th century. Art historian, Dr Matias Diaz, from the Spanish Royal Academy of Art, who has spent years researching the origin of the painting, said: “I consider this work to be a first, smaller draft of Las Meninas, painted by the master himself.” This is contested by the exhibition’s curator, Javier
La Infanta Margarita in blue dress by Diego Velazquez Portus, who argues: “A simple study of the Kingston Lacy work shows it lacks colour and detail and it is not an original.” A close inspection reveals differences. There is a mystery over the Cross of the Order of Santiago, an honour bestowed on Velazquez by the king in 1659 and who ordered it to be added to his tunic in the main painting after his death. In addition, the king and queen are clearly reflected in the mirror and he delicately holds the brush. In the Kingston Lacy painting the cross is not apparent, neither is the brush and the reflection in the mirror is unclear. There is also a likeness between this work and the family portrait of Martinez del Mazo, painted in 1665. This controversy is likely to remain unresolved.
The continuity of Velazquez’s style The final section covers the period following the deaths of Velazquez in 1660 and the king
in 1665. These are works by Mazo and Carreno, illustrating the continuity of Velazquez’s style. Margarita married her uncle Leopold of Austria to forge an alliance, which led to the transfer of several of these paintings to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The portraits of Queen Mariana, who became Regent, while her son Carlos was a child, depicts her in mourning, while the young king, Carlos II, appears in his full royal regalia. The exhibition, organised in conjunction with the AXA Foundation, displays 29 major works of which 15 belong to Velazquez. Many of the works, on loan from overseas museums and private collections, have never previously been on display in Spain.

winter garlic Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner
N
By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
OVEMBER and December are good months for planting over-wintering garlic. The plants that grow can be harvested at two stages of growth: As young stems when like large spring onions. Grown to maturity for harvesting bulbs for storing in the late spring. Since garlic needs little space, crops can be grown in large flowerpots on apartment terraces as well as in raised beds and the open garden. How to grow Garlic is best grown by sowing individual cloves or segments broken off from sizeable bulbs. Plant
in a friable, well-draining soil which has been manured for preceding crops but not in recently manured soils. However, if you have a wood-burning stove or an autumn bonfire the ashes can be worked into the soil before planting or sprinkled around growing corms to top up the soil’s natural potash levels. If you have a heavy soil, mix in some sand to improve drainage and place a little sand under each clove when planted. It is wise to water garlic less than onions and if your vegetable plot is watered by a traditional flooding from irrigation channels or is liable to flood after heavy autumn rains, it’s wise to sow garlic on the ridges between the flooded growing strips or specially prepared ridges in the
normal growing areas. Raised beds are excellent for growing garlic as the soil conditions are right and cloves can be planted only eight to 10 centimetres apart, although double that will often yield larger bulbs. When planting, if the soil is well prepared, it is sufficient to push each corm down into the soil until the tip is covered with two or three centimetres of soil. If planted more shallowly they can rise out of the ground after rain or when the roots start to grow. Alternatively, dig narrow trenches or individual holes with a narrow trowel or stick. The only care during the growing season will be to ensure they don’t dry out, and weeding. By the way, garlic
planted under or between rose bushes can help deter fungal attacks and aphids. Obtaining garlic bulbs Garlic bulbs are normally available at Agricultural Cooperatives in vegetable growing areas. However, it is more convenient in many areas to buy large bulbs at a local market or greengrocers. When you break up the bulbs it is worth separating out the large from the small cloves and planting them separately. The larger cloves being left in the ground until maturity for harvesting bulbs and the smaller segments grown for the young stems that are
excellent in salads, casseroles and omelettes. How much to plant We suggest you plant 50 cloves and if you have the space 300 or more. The more you plant the more you will have for harvesting as young tierno stems during the winter. When to harvest Young stems are normally harvested when they are about half to three-quarters of a centimetre thick. Mature bulbs are normally harvested when the leaves start to die back. If bulbs produce flower stalks cut these to half their length before they bud. This can stimulate larger bulbs. Don’t worry if your harvested bulbs are smaller than the ones in the market.

Helping women after breast cancer An EWN special report BREAST reconstruction is an option for women who have undergone a mastectomy after having breast cancer. Every year about 16,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in Spain. Of those about 64 per cent require a mastectomy, the surgical process to remove all or part of the affected breast. After this process, “breast reconstruction is an option to consider for those women who, for a variety of physical, cosmetic and psychological reasons, want to look the same after the operation,” explained Dr Pietro Di Mauro, a specialist in Repair and Reconstruction Surgery at the HC Marbella International Hospital. Dr Di Mauro said: “These days it is possible, thanks to the new surgical techniques, to achieve a permanent reconstruction with an
aesthetic result that really resembles a natural breast.” Breast reconstruction consists of a series of surgical procedures whose principal objective is to re-establish the natural look of a woman’s breast. First, the mound of the breast is recreated and then the areola is reconstructed, in such a way that it looks like that of the other breast and allows defects in the reconstructed breast to be corrected. To do this there are several options ranging from the implanting of a silicone prosthesis after the tissue has expanded, to reconstruction using the transposition of tissue through various techniques like microsurgery. The Breast Unit of the HC Marbella has oncologists, surgeons and reconstruction specialists who can choose the best option and the best time for breast repair.

LAST week I revealed how BB my Rottweiler had become aggressive towards my daughter following his lifesaving operation for bloat. On the morning of my radio show, I heard BB talking to me. Many of you will understand that dogs do talk to us in many ways. His is a baby yap, one that cannot be ignored. I was delighted because I had not heard it since he had come

home. I went upstairs and informed Susan he was back to my old BB. After my radio show, I had a chat with Nazli from the Pointer Clinic, explaining that I had a major problem with BB and also, in spite of eating greedily, he was losing weight. I asked her if the operation could be one of the causes. She explained that it can take six to eight
months for the wound from the operation to heal and he would feel uncomfortable when lying in certain positions. That could be the cause of him being wary if we went to touch him where he was feeling tender. I have known Nazli about 20 years and trust her professionally. Now BB is having extra food (four meals a day) and we only touch him when
he comes to us and just tickle him under the chin. Nazli emphasised that he is not out of the woods yet and time, patience and love will help with the healing process. Meanwhile, my daughter will take him for short walks. I will update readers next month. For local radio log onto www.talkradioeurope. com

Planners criticise roundabouts as a distraction to drivers T
ROUNDABOUTS: No shortage.
HE property boom may be long over with the construction of new buildings grinding to a halt in recent years, but the construction of roundabouts does not seem to have been affected. Francisco Toscano, Socialist Mayor of Dos Hermanas, Sevilla, blamed TV broadcasts of the Tour de France and former Mayor of Las Rozas Santiago Bonifacio, who used to comment about being “amazed” to see the “elegance and fluidity” of
traffic flows absorbed by large French roundabouts without needing traffic lights. Today, Dos Hermanas has more than 100 roundabouts along with Las Rozas (Madrid) which claims to be the only Spanish town of over 50,000 inhabitants without traffic lights. Town planner Jose Maria Ezquiaga said that roundabouts are useful tools to regulate traffic at intersections, but they are not the only solution: “There are major roads such
as in Castellana, regulated by traffic lights that work just as well or better. “Roundabouts work when the size and design is suited to the intensity of the traffic, but many create more problems than they solve.” Some also criticise the design and addition of monuments and sculptures on roundabouts saying they distract drivers. Last year, 7 per cent of accidents on roads which incurred injury, occurred at roundabouts.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? to end after fifteen years
I
TV has confirmed that longrunning quiz Who Wants to be as Millionaire? is to draw to a close, to coincide with Chris Tarrant stepping down as host. “It has been a huge part of my life for 15 years and I’ve loved every minute of it, but it is time for me to move on,” Tarrant said in a statement. “It has been the most remarkable journey and I consider myself very fortunate to have been associated with Millionaire from its inception. ITV has been fantastic in its support from day one and to see its huge success has been thrilling.” The presenter added that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? had ‘touched a nerve’ with the UK public when it launched in 1998. In recent years, the series has returned for a number of celebrity specials, with Sir Paul McCartney, George Michael, Sir Alex Ferguson and Simon Cowell all taking to the hot-seat. “But of course so much more rewarding for all of us has been, not

Originally launched in the UK, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is the most internationally popular television franchise of all time, having aired versions in more than 100 countries worldwide.
• PEAKY BLINDERS will return for a second series in 2014, it was announced recently. The BBC has confirmed that the period drama which follows the lives of gang members who control the streets of 1920s’ post-war Birmingham - has been commissioned for a further sixpart run. Those behind the BBC Two show have revealed that the forthcoming series will see the Shelby family expand their crime empire, while maintaining control over their Birmingham heartland. Gang leader Tommy (played by Cillian Murphy) also looks set to be undermined by sinister forces in his attempts to make the black market business legitimate, but his ascent into 1920s’ high society will be aided by his criminal credentials. “We’ve been thrilled by the passionate responses Peaky Blinders has been getting from viewers all over the country,” explained executive producer Caryn Mandabach. Filming on the project is scheduled to begin early next year.

If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 665 682 919 or 605 227 155.

Panamera Turbo S: Power and luxury from Porsche
PORSCHE is placing its fastest, most powerful and most luxurious Panamera at the peak of its Gran Turismo series. The new Porsche Panamera Turbo S has a sporty, luxurious character evident in its driving performance, the German manufacturer said. The Panamera Turbo S model uses two new turbochargers with larger compressors. The new compressors increase the air flow and the charger injects more oxygen into the combustion chambers at high loads and speeds. A 50-bhp increase in power
compared to the Panamera Turbo engine has been achieved through specific revision work on a number of components. Together, both of these measures enable higher component loads, which are absorbed by pistons made from a new aluminium alloy and coated piston rings. Available from €207,334, the new top Panamera model from Porsche features an extensive range of equipment.
The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), an active roll stabilisation system, starts reducing the vehicle’s lateral inclination as it approaches bends, thereby increasing agility and comfort in equal measure. The Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) system works with a variable standard torque split at the rear wheels in combination with an electronically
PANAMERA: At the peak of Porsche’s Gran Turismo series.
New Toyota 2014 RAV4, new features for the New Year JAPANESE manufacturer Toyota has introduced a series of improvements to its RAV4 model for next year. The fourth generation of Toyota’s compact sports utility vehicle has seen more features added with an all-wheel drive engine line-up, new equipment and new technology. The all-wheel drive version of the 2014 RAV4 combines the Euro 5 compliant 2.0 litre D-4D turbodiesel with the Integrated Dynamic Drive System, Toyota’s allwheel drive technology. The Integrated Dynamic Drive System enhances performance, handling and safety under all driving conditions, the manufacturer claims. Using information from
various sensors (speed, steering angle, and yaw rate), the system continuously controls the torque transfer between the front and rear wheels via an electromagnetically controlled coupling positioned in front of the rear differential. Front to rear torque distribution can vary from 100:0 to 50:50, with front-wheel drive (100:0) automatically engaged under normal driving conditions to improve petrol consumption. For off-road driving, the system allows drivers to lock torque distribution in a fixed, 50:50 ratio to speeds up to 40km/h. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the 1,998cc engine develops 124hp/91kW at 6,000rpm, and 310Nm of
torque between 1,600 and 2,400rpm. The 2014 RAV4 will be available in a new Dark Brown Metallic body colour with a new, angular, 10-spoke 18” alloy wheel design. The interior may now be finished in a choice of four colour schemes: Black, Grey, Terracotta and new Beige, which features two-tone seats and a leather finish to the main dashboard panel and central door panels. Equipment upgrades will also define the 2014 RAV, which will be available from €26,000. The vehicle now incorporates Toyota Touch 2, a system featuring a 6” full colour WVGA touch screen in

controlled rear-axle differential lock to provide improved traction in any driving situation. Thanks to the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), the Panamera Turbo S benefits from a high-performance brake system that is particularly resistant to brake fading and wear. The interior of the Panamera Turbo S offers a sporty side. Two-tone leather furnishings come as standard. The 14-way power seats at the front are available as standard and can be combined with the memory package, which comprises seat surface extension as well as lumbar support and electrical steering column adjustment. Both the front and rear seats feature seat heating as standard. At the rear, two single seats with a folding central arm-rest offer generous leg and head room.

Lauro Golf Open resounding success Report by Trevor Burgin ONCE again the Lauro Golf Open was hailed a resounding success, with a record number of entries, fine weather and good bowling. The competition on the course’s bowls rinks was well supported by members of clubs along the coast, and they were treated to some excellent bowling. There were some close results, namely the men’s singles semifinal between Marcus Smith from the UK and John Pearce of Belplaya, the final score being 21 20, to Marcus.
OPEN DAY: The fine weather shone on the sponsors and players. There were no surprises in the triples with Mike Detheridge, Brian Todd and Lennie Dineen going through to the final against Malcolm Greenwood,

Malaga turning the corner after much needed win at weekend Dave Redshaw Malaga CF Reporter Dave Redshaw Dave is the author of ‘Malaga Football Club - The Story’ available from Amazon.
MALAGA head into Friday night’s game at Granada having earned a muchneeded 3-2 win over Andalucian rivals Real Betis at La Rosaleda following last week’s disastrous 5-0 home defeat to Celta Vigo. Bernd Schuster’s men had obtained a vital point with an improved performance in a goalless midweek draw at Espanyol and it did
dsgasdg not take them long to open their account against Betis, Roque Santa Cruz heading home at the second attempt in the 12th minute
after he had nodded Eliseu’s cross up into the air. However, the Costa del Sol outfit failed to capitalise on the advantage and Los
Beticos drew level just after the half-hour mark when Joan Verdu curled home a superb free-kick from the edge of the area to beat Willy Caballero. Betis had defender Damien Perquis taken from the pitch by ambulance just after the break after a clash of heads with Fabrice Olinga, the Polish international subsequently diagnosed with a double fracture of the jaw, although the incident did not seem to affect them. Youngster Alvaro Vadillo saw his close-range effort brilliantly turned behind by Caballero on 60 minutes, yet from the resulting corner the Malaga ‘keeper launched a quick counterattack that ended with Francisco Portillo feeding a sublime reverse pass to Eliseu, who cut inside and made no mistake with a shot into the bottom corner.
