YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
WAVE OF MIGRANTS A LOCAL mayor has called for an emergency protocol to be activated as a wave of migrants hit Costa Blanca shores. Mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belen Castejon, has issued the request for the central government to help keep the cost of dealing with the situation low. It wo u l d l e t t o wn h alls use sports pavilions to hold some of the migrants until they can be properly accommodated at the local detention centre. Five migrant boats or ‘pateras’ reached the coasts of the province with at least 47 people on board in total, according to sources from the Red Cross and the lifeguard services of Orihuela. A boat with 24 people also arrived over the weekend, this time at Alicante port, while two others landed in Torrevieja with 15 occupants in total, all males and Algerians except for one Syrian.
MIGRANTS: Taking advantage of the recent good weather. On Sunday two boats arrived on Orihuela Costa, between Punta Prima and Cala Mosca. Eight migrants were found, with more suspected to have landed. Migrants are thought to be taking advantage of the g o o d w e a th er a n d re c e nt full moon to make the dangerous trip before autumn and winter storms set in.

CAPTIVATING: Morning mist rolls through the El Tajo Gorge in Ronda.
STUNNING RONDA Photographer Jordan Hammond has beautifully captured the beauty of Mother Nature against the spectacular Ronda backdrop. MORNING mist lies at the bottom of the El Tajo gorge that carves its way through the Spanish town, carrying the waters of the Rio Guadalevin, with the Puente Nuevo bridge spanning the 100m chasm below. Ronda sits in the Malaga Province around 40 minutes north of Marbella, sandwiched between the Sierra de Grazalema and the Sierra de las Nievas, both UNESCO biosphere reserves.
Originating from Moorish rule, the El Tajo Gorge separates the 15th century ‘new town’ and the Moorish ‘old town.’ At the heart of the old town sits the Plaza del Toros, a beautiful reminder of the town’s rich bullfighting history where once a year, Feria Goyesca celebrates the age old tradition. Across the bridge sits a myriad of cobbled streets and stunning town man-
sions still belonging to the town’s dignitaries, a highlight of which is the Palacio Mondragón. Modernised in part during the 1960s, it still contains working vestiges of the miniature water gardens dating from its time as a Moorish Palace. The pedestrianised ‘high street’ contains everything that both locals and tourists could ask for, with a mix of modern amenities mixed with traditional craft shops and local wares.
Sex charge
Stolen cheques
PROSECUTORS are asking for a man aged 50 to be jailed for 16 years after he allegedly raped a teenager he had groomed on the internet. The indictment states that he contacted the victim through the Internet, asked for intimate photos and blackmailed her with publishing them if she did not agree to his sexual demands. The events occurred in June last year, in a house in an unnamed town on the Vega Baja. The accused is alleged to have contacted the 13-year-old girl through social networks. After several weeks gaining her trust, he allegedly asked her for more and more intimate photographs, before blackmailing her into visiting his home and having sex. When he went out, she escaped from his house. At first she was too scared to say anything to her family, but later told her mother what had happened.
A GANG which stole and forged cheques and promissory notes has been broken up. The scam reportedly operated in Alicante Province as well as Madrid, Valencia, Castellon, Murcia, Almeria, Malaga, Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz and Barcelona. Authorities estimate the gang could have netted profits of more than €760,000. The joint National Police and Guardia Civil operation led to 33 arrests in the Valencia region, Castilla La Mancha, and Madrid. Police say they are looking for two more people in connection with the case. The 33 detained face a string of charges including fraud, falsification of official and commercial documents and robbery. The Guardia Civil reported they have linked the network to more than 1,600 offences committed between 2017 and 2018. The cheques and promissory notes were stolen from company post boxes and mail vans. Documents were then forged to allow the gang to cash the cheques and notes.

Poppy Appeal 2019 launch THE Torrevieja Pipes and representatives of the Royal British Legion from all across the Costa Blanca will attend the launch of this year’s Poppy Appeal. It will take place in Benidorm on Friday October 18 in the presence of the mayor, and long-time supporter of the RBL, Sr Jose Pérez. He will be accompanied by Ms Kate Green, Overseas Team Leader of the RBL Worldwide, British Consul, Ms Sara-Jane Morris, and both Capt Jonathan Beaney RM and Cdr Ed Dunn RN, who will be representing the Defence Attaché in Madrid. Two other regulars at the head of the parade will be Wayne Campbell and Skippy Teasdale, from the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. The pair have been attending the launch for the last four or five years and will be easily recognisable in their bright scarlet coats. In the RBL’s District North, which encompasses the Costa Blanca, the RBL Poppy Appeal will be aiming to exceed the 2018 total of €176,000. This money will be used to support Service and ex-Service personnel and their families here in Spain, through hardships, injuries and bereavements. The launch will be preceded by a short parade from Calle Castellon along Paseo de Levante to Rincon de Loix, Benidorm. It gets underway at noon and will be led by the Torrevieja Pipes and Drums, along with standard bearers from across the many branches that make up Spain District North.

UNCERTAIN: Red tape holding up plans for the Santisima Trinidad.
A sinking feeling A SHIP whose famous forebear met her demise when she came face to face with Nelson is on the verge of being sunk by red tape. Last July the replica of former Spanish flagship the Santisima Trinidad (Holy Trinity), which is tied up in Alicante port, seemed to have finally found a new owner. A tourism company specialising in luxury travel had put in a bid to take over the ship. The plan is to tow it to a new home in Cape Verde. But
nothing seems to have happened as the ship - which was used as a restaurant and club sits tied up with its condition deteriorating and wood starting to rot. Now the port authority is starting to charge mooring fees as the ship’s new owner tried to complete all the paperwork needed for transport. It needs to be taken by trailer to dry dock in Denia for an inspection before it can be licensed to be put back into use, which is an expensive business.
The new owners say they have a transport plan in place. But if that doesn’t work out the alternative bidder was a scrap merchant who planned to break the ship up. The original Santisima Trinidad was the flagship of the Spanish Navy in the 18th century. Equipped with 112 cannons, the ship was the largest at that time. It fought in all Spanish battles from 1769 until its end at Trafalgar in 1805, after which it finally sank due to the damage suffered.
Drugs sniffed out
A POLICE dog sniffed out 4.5 kilos of hashish hidden in a bus passenger’s luggage. The bus was travelling from Malaga to Barcelona when it made a stop at Elche and Local Police decided to check it for narcotics. Officers searched a suitcase identified by the dog and found the drugs in the form of
449 ‘acorns’ hidden inside juice containers. After questioning the passengers and the bus driver, officers identified a 25-year-old man as the suspected owner of the suitcase, although he denied it was his. He has been handed into court custody while investigations continue to see if the case is definitely his.

TV let off the hook FRAN CO’S grandchildren cannot sue over alleged slurs on their grandfather’s reputation, a judge ruled. Gonzalo Salgado, an investigating judge in Alcobendas (Madrid), said the plaintiffs had no legitimate grounds for objecting to Los papeles secretos de Franco (Franco’s secret papers), a documentary shown on the La Sexta television channel last November. They hoped to sue the Galician investigator Carlos Babio, whose 22 years of research into Franco’s fortune was to back the government’s claim that Franco’s summer residence Pazo de Meiras was state property. Writer Mariano Sanchez Soler, the director general of Atresmedia Television, Javier
Bardaji, several television journalists and the documentary’s director also faced prosecution. The seven grandchildren claimed that the programme insulted the late dictator Francisco Franco and repeated ‘untrue affirmations’ that ‘defamed and discredited’ them. ‘On a €95,000 salary, how could he leave more than €500,000?’ the programme asked, although the judge pointed out that Franco’s estate went to his widow and only daughter, not to them. The question was generic, said Salgado concluding that the family was not entitled to prosecute as they were not ‘directly offended’ by the ‘cited offences.’

Confidence challenge dropped THREATS of a vote of no-confidence to kick Boris Johnson out of office has been dropped. Labour chiefs have been in talks with other opposition groups over a plan to put an interim Prime Minister in place to guarantee an extension to the Brexit negotiations in the event of no-deal. Despite cross party-unity on a determination to block a no-deal Brexit, the parties failed to reach agreement on a no-confidence vote.

ELECTION: Parliament and Brexit on a knife edge.
Deal hopes ‘non-starter’
PLANS leaked this week that Brexit negotiators hoped would be a deal clincher have been rejected as a ‘non-starter.’ The proposals to break the Irish backstop deadlock were to be announced after the Tory Party Conference but have been revealed by the Irish state broadcaster RTE. Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay met with Brussels’ chief negotiator Michel Barnier last Friday and afterwards said the
Government was ‘exploring’ the extent of the political will in Brussels to make an agreement. The Irish backstop intended to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic has already been rejected three times by Parliament. Proposals now being put forward include introducing customs clearance zones which have been flatly rejected by the Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney as a ‘non-starter.’

sition groups were sure to win. Downing Street tried to have Parliament sent into recess during this week’s Conservative Party Conference in Manchester but the bid failed. A no-confidence vote would have forced the Tories to abandon their conference and return to Westminster to support their leader. The Prime Minister last week goaded the opposition to call a no-confidence vote after judges declared his suspension of Parliament in the run up to the Brexit deadline as unlawful. Parliament was swiftly recalled, but Boris Johnson was unapologetic and invited the opposition to put the question to the public with a vote of noconfidence and a General Election. The opposition see forcing Boris Johnson out of office as the only way to guarantee that legislation passed in Parliament to prevent a no-deal Brexit will be honoured. The Prime Minister has confirmed that he will never ask for an extension to the deadline and promised that the UK will walk away from Europe on October 31 with or without a deal.
Brexit demo DEMONSTRATORS draped in European flags greeted Tory conference delegates in Manchester. Police were preparing for tens of thousands to attend rallies in the city. The theme of the party conference is ‘Get Brexit done.’
Pain will pass MICHAEL GOVE has told the party faithful that new trade tariffs, border checks and potential issues for UK citizens abroad would bring challenges following the UK’s exit from Europe. He predicted that, while these difficulties will pass: “The damage to our democracy in not getting Brexit done would endure, and resound, for much longer.”
Tied down THE Government has been likened to Gulliver being bound by the little people of Lilliput. Leader of the House, Mr Rees-Mogg, has said the Government is fighting against ‘fumbling, fettling, flitting politicians’ who have the ‘unworthy aim’ of stopping Brexit.

These revelations mark nearly one year of Twitter’s efforts to identify and remove accounts spreading political misinformation. The recent focus has been on 100 Facebook accounts operated by Spain’s Partido Popular. Facebook removed 65 Facebook accounts and 35 Instagram accounts, connected to the party. Around 50,000 accounts followed at least one of the removed Instagram accounts. Deleted posts included local and national political news and issues such as elections and criticism of its political opponents. The accounts were used to comment on, amplify and spread their own content and posts by other accounts. The majority of these fake accounts were suspended by Facebook’s automated systems. Facebook have said they are taking down pages, groups, and accounts based on the accounts’ behaviour, not the content of the posts. This is not the first time that Facebook has suspended accounts. • In August, Facebook removed accounts associated with the Chinese government, and which frequently posted content on political issues such as the ongoing protest in Hong Kong. • Facebook took down multiple Russian pages, groups, and accounts on Facebook and Instagram in May. These pages focused on Ukraine and posted content relating to Eastern Ukraine, Russian politics, political news in Europe, politics in Ukraine and the Syrian civil war. • In April, Facebook removed 687 pages and accounts linked to India’s main opposition Congress party because of ‘coordinated inauthentic behaviour.’

SEVERAL big names from the world of Spanish football have thrown their weight behind a fundraising scheme to repair a sports centre wrecked by the recent storms. Engineers have valued that damages caused to Benferri’s football pitch, sports centre and pavilion at €1 million after strong winds, torrential downpours and flooding swept the region. These have left the facilities unusable so that the 215 children using the sports grounds are having to travel to neighbouring municipalities in the Vega Baja to train and play. Now Benferri Football Club in collaboration with the local town hall has organised the first Congress of Base Football Vega Baja (Congreso de Futbol Base Vega Baja) to raise cash for repairs.

Scammer lacks attention
ATOCHA STATION: Where the clueless con artist was outsmarted by a group of tourists.
A CON artist got more than he bargained for when he tried to scam a free ticket from tourists at Atocha station in the heart of Madrid. A local man overheard the conversation in which the scammer tried to explain to a group of tourists that he had lost his ticket and wallet and needed money to get back to Valladolid (Castilla y León). Suspicious of the man’s motives, the tourists questioned him on which river runs through the centre of Valladolid, to which he
replied, the Ebro. The actual river that runs through the town is the Pisuerga, not the Ebro. The tourists also pointed out that the AVE train to Valladolid doesn’t leave from Atocha but in fact from the Chamartin station across town. The commuter, who witnessed the interaction, wrote of his experience in a Twitter post under the username @Gauginaepicuro, adding: ‘And that, kids, is why you should pay attention to geography at school.’

Arrested for sex exploitation A WOMAN has been arrested acc u s e d o f h u m a n t r a ff i c k i n g f o r sexual exploitation. National Police in Alicante detained the 40year-old woman who was the subject of a European arrest warrant from France. She is accused of forcing young people into prostitution to pay off a debt incurred by travelling to the country. An investigation started when the woman herself complained to police that social security were chasing her for a debt. She claimed that the two people employed in her name no longer worked for her so she didn’t need to pay contributions. As evidence she produced paperwork to prove the workers had been discharged. Unfortunately for her, police discovered that the documents were falsified. Further investigation led the police to identify the woman - who claimed to have lost her own documents - as having a European Arrest Warrant in her name, so they immediately arrested her.

A tricky situation ELCHE’S Vox party spokeswoman Amparo Cerdá, says she regrets that a complaint she made against her ex-husband has been classed as gender violence. She had gone to police to complain about an ‘aggression’ she allegedly suffered at the hands of her ex, and they activated the gender violence protocol. This was in May, but only now has the situation become public. This is a problem for the right-wing political group, which has consistently opposed gender violence laws. Cerdá said: “Despite my insistence that it was a specific physical aggres-
sion, we cannot go against the laws that lead us to gender-based violence. “It is evident that the courts have produced leaks and that there are person or persons who want to attack me personally, which I consider extremely serious because, in addition to violating the data protection law, it inevitably harms all those involved in the procedure and, of course, my family and my children.” Cerdá added that she believed in the presumption of innocence for the man, saying that gender violence protocols instantly make the man the aggressor and the woman the victim. She considers herself the victim of an attack, but not of gender violence.

On Monday the Almeria Provincial Court sentenced Ana Julia Quesada to a maximum permanent reviewable prison sentence for killing Gabriel in Cabo de Gata in Almeria in February last year with the aggravating circumstance of a family relationship with the little boy. Quesada is the first women to be sentenced to serving life with a possibility of parole after a minimum fixed term since the punishment was introduced into Spanish Law in 2015. The court also sentenced the 45-year-old Dominican to three years behind bars for psychological injuries to Gabriel’s father Angel Cruz, with whom she was in a relationship at the time of the youngster’s death, and two years and nine months for psychological injuries to
his mother Patricia Ramirez. In addition, the sentence orders Quesada to pay €250,000 to each parent in moral damages and bans her from living in or visiting Nijar or the parents’ homes for 30 years and from going within 500 metres of either Angel or Patricia. She will also have to pay the just over €200,000 cost to the state of the 12-day search operation launched to find the little lad following his disappearance from close to his grandmother’s house in Las Hortichuelas. Last month a jury unanimously decided Quesada was guilty of ‘voluntarily taking the life’ of Gabriel, ‘unexpectedly and without the possibility of the minor defending himself or reacting’ following a nine-day trial and more than 24 hours of deliberations.

Speed limits reduced ALICANTE will be joining with major cities such as Madrid and Valencia by cutting speed limits to 30km/h. The roads that this will be enforced on will be the one way and single streets throughout Alicante, in a bit to reduce road accidents.
The move follows on from last yea’s order from the Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) which was to apply the new speed limits to all Spanish cities. The DGT figures show that traffic accidents in the Cataluùia capital, Barcelona, plummeted by 40 per cent after the new rules were enforced.
Alicante has become the second city within the Valencian community to become a City 30, a suggested measure from the EU Wide City 30 initiative.

There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

FLOODED: Storms wreaked havoc.
Cash help on the way RESIDENTS of Benijofar are amongst the total of 2,588 requests for emergency aid of €1,500 so far processed by the Valencian government. The cash is to help those affected by the September storms that wrought havoc in the region. It is designed as an advance to buy household items ‘of primary need.’ In total, assistance up to €4,500 per family is available from a special line of assistance to alleviate the ravages of the storms. Since September 23, more than 3,000 people have accessed information and documentation at nine ‘permanent’ offices in Orihuela, Benferri, Dolores, Pilar de la Horadada, Almoradí, Bigastro, Catral, Callosa de Segura and Ontinyent.
Tapas delight IF you like to sample some tapas and drinks, then Benijofar is the place to be this weekend. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday (October 4-6) samples of Spanish and international cuisine will be offered by 19 bars and restaurants taking part in the ‘Rueda de Tapas’ (Wheel of Tapas). It’s good value too, with a drink and tapa just €2. Those who complete a card with five and 10 stamps (by visiting different establishments) can enter a draw with prizes on offer, including a dinner for two people, a trip valued at €300 and a cheque worth €300.

In Benijofar assistance in completing applications has been available from a mobile team that also cover Albatera, Algorfa, Almoradi, Benejuzar, Crevillent, Cox, Daya Nueva, Daya Vieja, Elche, Formentera del Segura, Granja de Rocamora, Guardamar del Segura, Jacarilla, Los Montesinos, Rafal, Redovan, Rojales, San Fulgencio, San Isidro, Santa Pola, San Miguel de Salinas and Torrevieja. Gabriela Bravo, the regional minister for health, said: “No one will be left without help” and promised to come up with more funding if necessary. The regional government has also said that payments will be made as soon as possible - it will not wait until the October 14 deadline for applications.
Students benefit YOUNGSTERS from Benijofar have benefited from scholarships to help them with living costs at Alicante University. The Aid Plan includes accommodation, meals and a financial contribution towards registration costs. Called the Provincial Home Residential Scholarship Programme, it is financed by the provincial council. The deputy for the area, Juan Francisco Perez, welcomed the university students who have benefited from these grants. Perez said: “These grants are part of the social welfare work developed by the provincial institution within the plan of promotion, encouragement and reuse of the facilities of the residen-

The aid is intended for those students who are going to study or are already studying at the University of Alicante or Miguel Hernandez de Elche and who, either be-
cause of their remoteness or their social and family situation, have difficulty getting to the facilities. Like other years, the aspects that have been taken into account when evaluating the applications are the academic record, the socio-familiar situation and the distance from home.

Torrevieja NEWS Reforestation call AI for better treatment A CALL has gone out to ‘reforest’ a Torrevieja street. Ciudadanos’s (C’s) Councillor Pilar Gomez Magan has pointed out that Calle Ramon Gallud alone has more than 65 trees missing because they have been cut down in the past. Most of the trees were originally planted in the 1990s. She wants a plan put in place that will see native trees planted to replace the lost ones, “taking advantage of the grants that several administrations have such as the Cooperation Fund of the Alicante Provincial Council endowed with € 135,000.” Trees in the road have been a constant source of problems because their planting was ‘originally botched.’ Cork trees were located on

HEAVY PRUNING: Sixty-five trees are said to have died. the roadway, making parking difficult, and first floor residents have complained that the branches were encroaching on their properties. The council responded by pruning the trees heavily, against the advice of experts. This is thought to have led to many of them dying.
Now C’s want them replanted as part of an improvement scheme. The group says pavements should be widened to give better pedestrian access and allow the trees to flourish without affecting buildings. This is said to be the only street in Torrevieja with native species rather than palm trees.
ARTIFICIAL intelligence is beginning to have an impact at Torrevieja’s hospital. It is not science fiction. It is the latest technology applied to image diagnosis which is used to fine-tune information on the patient’s problem, speed up response times and improve and optimise treatments. It is a reality in the Diagnostic Imaging service of the University Hospitals of Torrevieja and Vinalopo, which have both been equipped with the latest technology and highly trained staff to make full use of the high tech. The service is making use of all the tools of artificial intelligence pos-
sible. As well as giving a higher quality of care, it also means health professionals can assume more workload, speeding up the care of patients, so there is hardly any waiting. The Radiology services have 1,000 square metres in each hospital, where a highly technological, fully digitalised ser vice works, making all the latest tests available to patients. They can be confident that they will get topnotch treatment, as Dr Angeles Franco, head of the service, says: “Our motto is to perform the right test, on the right patient, at the right time and with the highest possible quality.”

DISRUPTION: Storm damage needed to be repaired.
Back on track THE trains are once again running between Callosa de Segura and Beniel stations on the Murcia-Alicante line. The service was interrupted since the September storm, although Adif reports the Lorca-Aguilas, Valencia-Albacete and the services that link Murcia with Cartagena and Alicante are still cut. With the reopening of this section, Orihuela and Beniel are again connected by rail to Alicante. However, the route from Murcia continues to be interrupted while work con-
tinues in the area around El Regueron, where the greatest damage to the infrastructure has been done. Adif technicians are still working on the Font de la Figuera tunnel, which was flooded by the storm with no date set for its reopening. The spokesman for CompromĂs in the Senate, CarlesMulet, has sent an official request to the Ministry of Public Works to explain the state of the railway lines between La Encina and La Font de la Figuera, which have been closed since the beginning of the storms on September 12.

Loggerhead turtle released
Axarquia Day at Tivoli World
MURCIA has welcomed two baby loggerhead turtles, the first to be born in the region in more than a century. The turtles have only a one in a 1,000 chance of surviving into adulthood in the wild. The last known loggerhead turtle eggs to have been found on a beach in the region were in the late 19th century. But last week, two of 69 eggs buried in the sand at Cala Arturo hatched in the regional park of Calblanque off the coast line of Cartagena. The eggs, buried on July 28, have carefully been looked after by the El Valle rescue centre with the hope that 10-12 more eggs could soon hatch. A 35-year-old female released into the wild is reportedly ready to ovulate and the agency hopes she will travel back to her birthplace to lay eggs.
THE amusement park Tivoli World in Benalmadena celebrated Day of Axarquia on Saturday. The event was officially opened by the president of the Mancomunidad de Municipios of Axarquia, José Juan Jiménez along with fellow councillors and the coordinator of Tivoli World, José Luis Guzmán. “From the institution we would like to thank the people in charge of Tivoli World who have thought of our region to give promotion and to pay tribute to each of its people,” thanked Jimenez. “With the celebration of the Day of the Costa del Tropical Axarquia we can show our tourist potential, but also allow a day of coexistence between many families from different villages in the region,” he continued. For the celebration, the park opened its doors free of charge to anyone with a residency card of Axarquia, or those who collected an invitation from town halls, coastal tourism offices or in the APTA office. The pass also meant that Axarquian tourists did not have to queue, using a special entrance to access the rides and attractions. Local businesses were also invited to set up tents to promote their wares to anyone visiting the park as well as animations and live performances that were held throughout the day.
RELEASED: The female loggerhead turtle is ready to complete her journey back to her homeplace to continue her life in the wild.

CLEANING UP: Young people at the forefront of the fight to save the sea.
Beach cleaning
LAST Saturday a large number of people arrived at the San Francisco beach, for a day of shoreline cleaning supported by the Fuengirola Council. The intention was not only to remove the waste that manages to make its way onto the beach, but also to highlight the importance of keeping the beaches in good condition and promoting cycling. The Spanish Institute of Oceanography had a stand on the beach and gave a talk to those present about the state of the Mediterranean and international waters. The hope is that as public awareness increases, so over a period of time, Fuengirola will be able to boast that visitors may enjoy 100 per cent sustainable beaches. As can be seen in the accompanying photograph, the majority of those taking part were youngsters and it is they who will be experiencing climate change and environmental difficulties in the future. Later next month, there will be a screening in 11 towns and cities of a new film by the group Fridays for another Future of a documentary about sustainability and environmental awareness. It is aimed mainly at schoolchildren and students and this is a Canadian film Youth Unstoppable which highlights the activities taken by young people around the world who are leading the fight against climate emergency in order to save the planet and their own futures.

Charity gift
Sport by the sea
CANCER charities have benefited from a €1,000 donation from the fundraising group Giving4Giving. The group raised the funds at an event at the Brew Rock bar in Albir. The money was presented to Lisa Griffin the bar owner who organised the benefit night. Giving4Giving has now donated €139,000 to charity with two more donations to follow this month. Giving4Giving is seeking volunteers and donations for all their shops and provide a pick-up service for larger goods. Anyone able to help should contact Gary on 603 137 697.
SPORTS enthusiasts in Adra now have brand new facilities right by the sea. The local council has opened up the El Palmeral multi sports court next to the municipal indoor swimming pool, offering the public what Mayor Manuel Cortes said was somewhere for children and adults to practise something ‘as healthy and fun’ as football, basketball and more. Financed by local authority and European funds, the €62,000 facilities are, the council said, part of a policy to make sport readily available to residents and to revitalise public areas. Speaking at the official inauguration of the court last week, Cortes explained it is not just multi-sport, but also multi-purpose: one of the sides can be taken up so it can also serve as a stage for cultural events. “These kinds of multi-functional public spaces generate social integration between local residents,” the mayor commented.
BENEFIT: Lisa Griffin received a donation from G4G volunteer Gary James.
RED CARPET: The charity event hosted by Real Estates United on behalf of the JoyRon Foundation was a huge success.
A roaring success
THE Red Carpet event on the stunning rooftop of the OD Port Portals Hotel on behalf of the JoyRon Foundation was a huge success on Friday evening. Each year local residents pull out their finest outfits and head to the fabulous charity event held by Real Estates United, a platform that is designed for real estate agents and partners to collaborate in Mallorca. The night kicked off with a photo call by Celebrity Mallorca Magazine with the glamorous dancers from Tito’s Mallorca with music by the saxophonist Adrian Sanso Ali. Entertainment was provided by the pole dancers from Louisa Pole’s Pole Fitness andCharley Hamblyn serenaded the crowds with her amazing vocal talents. The music continued into the night with another performance by Pole Fitness before an auction for a fabulous prize provided by the Ella Project, a $10,000 marketing package with Huffpost, Forbes and other high-end marketing platforms. The event ended with a raffle hosted by Ron Hawes and Euro Weekly’s very own Ben Mulvey with 34 prizes from a range of local sponsors. Every penny of the €7,945 raised at the event will go to the JoyRon Foundation, a charity with the sole aim of helping children in need in the Baleares, by raising funds, that will be applied to bring levels of joy, comfort and essential support to the children.

Thomas Cook Fall Out
THERE are a number of longterm financial implications following the passing of the Thomas Cook Group into Administration which will affect not just the UK, but other European economies. Firstly, the British government de cided not to assist in injecting £200 million (€220 million) into the compa ny to see it through the winter, but it is estimated that it will cost £60 mil lion (€66 million) alone to charter air craft to return those stranded abroad. If the ATOL insurance scheme paid
By John Smith out to all of those who have lost de posits then it would be depleted for the future which means that it is more than likely that the British govern ment will have to cover whatever shortfall there may be, which could add another £40 million (€44 million) to the bill. Add to this the fact that 9,000 em ployees will be out of jobs and many may have to apply for unemployment benefits and it begs the question as to why the government wouldn’t help when it has stepped in with banks and
the steel industry. Thomas Cook specialised in a num ber of low cost holidays and now with so many people potentially looking elsewhere, what capacity is available has already increased in price. Spanish hoteliers who relied on block bookings from the travel com pany could face a very difficult winter and the German government has had to step in to lend the Condor Airline (a Thomas Cook subsidiary which oper ates many flights to mainland Spain and the Balearics) some €380 million to keep it in the air.
LEGALLY SPEAKING What about a noisy neighbour? The owner of the apartment above me in our community has rented out her flat to a woman and her daughter. Now they have bought a puppy, and we are subjected to frequent loud bark ing. Also, the mother sometimes stays out until late at night, leaving the daughter to play noisily until around 3am. I and other neighbours have protested to the mother about the noise. I presented a petition to the administrator and we have spoken to the presi dent and vice president about it. Do all rental con tracts have ‘No Pets’ included? Is ‘noise after mid night’ a violation of community rules or Spanish law? Can you advise me of any solution? B J (Costa del Sol)
No, not all rental contracts forbid YOU AND THE the keeping of pets LAW IN SPAIN and there is no spe cific prohibition against noise after midnight either in community rules or Spanish law. However, if the moth er leaves a minor child alone in the house late at night, she could face serious charges if someone informed the authorities. A simple mention of this possibility might bring about better cooperation.

Spain’s finances
GOOD financial news for Spain is that the USbased group S&P Glob al has upgraded its opinion of the Spanish economy to an ‘A’ even though there is due to be another election in November. Some analysts think that growth for the economy in 2019 and 2020 will be less than originally forecast but even the most pessimistic view supports expansion by at least 1.2 per cent. Spanish government bonds are also outperforming many others in the Euro market so things appear positive.

Finance and education CURRENTLY companies throughout Europe spend trillions of euros in insurance of all types, but there is one area in which many are very vulnerable. The past few years have seen huge headlines concerning cyberattacks on banks, government de partments, stores, credit card companies, indeed any organisation that stores sensitive details on computers is a potential target.
Last year, according to the European Insurance and Retirement Pensions Authority (EIOPA) the val ue of the cyberinsurance market increased by 72 per cent. Companies have gone out of business due to hacking and their inability to afford to pay compen sation to victims, so EIOPA believes it is imperative that companies take very seriously the ongoing risk and protect themselves by investing in insurance.

This saw the GBP/EUR trade be tween 1.09 and 1.13 with EUR/GBP retreating to 0.88. Meanwhile, GBP/USD has climbed from 1.21 to 1.25 (having struck a threeyear low of 1.19 along the way) whilst EUR/USD held steady at 1.10. What’s been happening?

The stimulus measures were ul timately received positively by markets, helping to buoy the sin gle currency going into the second half of September. Finally, trade in the US dollar has been mixed in recent weeks in response to rising fears that a US recession could be looming fol lowing an inversion in the US bond yield curve and Fed rate cut spec ulation. What do you need to look out for? UK political developments are likely to continue acting as the main catalyst of movement in the

The upcoming EU summit in midOctober will likely be key for GBP investors, as all bets will be off if Boris Johnson fails to secure a deal by then. Meanwhile, the euro may strug gle to find support over the com ing month if German data remains in the doldrums. Finally, the US dollar may be particularly sensitive to economic data in the coming weeks, as mar kets look to gauge whether the US economy may be drifting towards a recession.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WITH their plastic bottles, food cartons and litter left lying everywhere in their wake, plus the output of untold thousands of vehicle exhausts as they idled in traffic jams, these recent, badly mislead young ‘climate change’ protesters have left a carbon footprint that will probably not be ‘offset’ until they reach their coming of age. This present generation has to be the most spoiled, selfcentered, misinformed bunch of youngsters the civilised world has ever pro duced. They have airconditioning in the class rooms, mobile phones and gismos, they ride in cars to school, they suck up junk food like hoovers and insist on the latest trendy outfits at all times. All of these luxury products, which they seem to think are their God given right, are manufactured or supplied by enormous compa nies that pour billions of tonnes of carbon diox ide emission into the Earth’s atmosphere. These children’s selfish attitudes and lifestyles cause far more damage to our environment than the previous generations they are so keen to accuse. Those preceding them were mobile and ‘designer’ free and took bicycles or walked to their destinations. Most had never experi enced jet travel or air conditioning and opened

Self-centred and spoiled windows when it was hot, instead of closing them. They received new shoes or clothes only when the previous attire needed replacing, ate homemade sandwiches instead of Whoppers and read books. However, in these modern day youngsters’ defence, most have of course been brainwashed and mislead by the ‘usual sus pects!’ Many of the culprits are those who laughingly profess to be ‘school teachers.’ Stringy haired trendies, who actually started the rot when the first long haired leftie ‘free thinker’ plonked his behind on his desk and told the class to call him Jon! The same leftie brigade who welcome drag acts into the classrooms to ‘enlighten’ fouryear olds, abolish winning and losing. Well this is the result. A whole generation of youngsters who not only have no respect for their elders but truly do believe they are actually superior. Ever increasing numbers of them would rather walk into the class with a knife than a ruler. I also wonder who was actually re sponsible for these utterly disruptive protests. Don’t tell me it was some precocious Swedish
16yearold. Even this young lady admitted her total surprise at the extent of the demonstrations. No, this was an idea hi jacked by adults and cal lously exploited to further their own intentions. How do I know? Well, for one thing it was planned for a weekday wasn’t it? The organisers of this particu lar exercise were well aware that had it been organised at a weekend their protesting protégés would be too busy buried in their mobiles and Xboxes or showing off their latest designer trainers to even think about actually giving up their precious spare time. As it was it was a fun day out playing legalised ‘hooky’. If it had been parents taking their chil dren out of school for the day, they could have

Why we hate politicians NORA JOHNSON
BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
THE UK is less than a few weeks from Brexit’s Halloween deadline, followed probably by a General Election, but just look at the choice offered by the main parties! Is there anyone near the top in any party that you’d want running the country, let alone trust? Boris (well, who really knows what he stands for?) and Corbyn who thinks he’s Goldilocks: not too Leave and not too Remain, just ‘right.’ Help! Problem is, politicians regard their ‘job’ as an allexpenses paid hobby. There may be some honest, decent, conscientious ones amongst them, but they soon learn what the ‘party line’ is. Basically, today’s politicians (many lacking realworld experience) can never say it as it is, never use common sense and hedge everything. Let alone their pe culiar way of talking whilst trying to ap
JACOB REES-MOGG: A peculiar way of talking whilst trying to appear sincere. pear sincere. (ReesMogg, I’m looking at you!) Is there some ‘elocution school’ they’re forced to attend? If so, Ofsted should shut it down immediately. Obsessing over focus groups, they’re forever promising something anything as long as they’re reelected. How about proper governance for starters? All peo ple want, generally speaking, is a safe en vironment to live in, clean water, decent food and enough money to live comfort ably. But so many politicians today simply
don’t tell the truth or deliver what those who elected them want. They have their own agenda, invariably increasing their own selfworth at the expense of those they’re ‘representing’ whilst simultane ously forcing ridiculous PC values on them. And in this fakenews PC age, nobody wants to hear the truth and so politicians are only too happy to oblige by failing to address it either by ignoring it or being ‘economical’ with it. End result: voter ap athy and so we end up not with the politicians we really need, but those we deserve. What is it about Britain that has pro duced such a run of failed leaders? Finally, on a really positive note, many thanks to all you readers out there who’ve left great comments on my web site about my latest thriller ‘Betrayal!’ Happy reading!

You have to remember... MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man DO you remember when you were younger, and maybe even now, people kept a diary? It was a personal record of your daily life and the worst thing that could happen is that someone read it. Your personal thoughts, things you’d done and with whom. Now most people get totally de pressed if the whole world isn’t interested in what they are doing. How things change and, in my opinion, not for the better. I was married with two kids before I got my first email! I guess it’s progress and I have to ac cept it. Everything is instant. I don’t mind my coffee being instant, but everything else needs to slow down a little. I use a computer security software com pany called McAfee. I got a notice saying it was up for renewal in two months’ time but there was nothing to worry about as it was on automatic renewal and it would au tomatically charge my credit card a certain amount. Anyway, it’s been doing some thing every now and again that was annoy
ing me. It kept changing my search engine if I added a certain update, so I decided to look around at other companies. I can celled McAfee’s automatic renewal. Well, the next day I get a warning from them about the consequences of not re newing saying emerging cyberattack techniques threaten devices worldwide and may let hackers steal your passwords, infiltrate private photos, emails, documents and exploit hardware flaws you have in your devices. This has been going on every day along with the odd special deal if I let them renew without question. All I need is a reminder that it needs renewing, not all this bombarding me with stuff. I know I need protection software, but this is not the best way to sell it to me. I don’t like this automatic renewal stuff. Recently I got a free subscription for Amazon Prime with my mobile phone com pany and I have to remember to cancel it. My car insurance does it and so does my household insurance. That one you have to do three months before or you can’t cancel it, but they don’t send you a reminder you have to remember. I wonder how many people forget they have things that auto matically renew on products they have tried and don’t use and just thought would run out after the trial period?

Renting out your property in Spain Juan Ángel Álvarez-Gómez Abogado/Solicitor IF renting out your property in Spain and es pecially in the Valencian community (Comu nidadValenciana), you could be in one of these situations • Renting out your property on your own The property needs to be registered with the Valencian Touristic Department (VTD). A form must be submitted in order to get a registra tion number which will allow you to rent out your property legally. In such a form you have to declare you are holding the deeds for the property and the occupation licence among other documents. You do not need to submit all the referred paperwork along with the form, but must hold them in case of an inspection. However, there are some exceptions to the rule, ie the property does not need to be registered with the VPD if you were signing a long term con tract with your tenant (Spanish Law states a minimum of a fiveyear duration). In connection with rental taxes, if you were nonresident in Spain rental incomes should be declared every quarter (JanuaryMarch,
RENTAL PROPERTIES: What you need to know.
AprilJune, JulySeptember, OctoberDecem ber). Property expenses could be deducted from the related incomes provided you were an EU citizen and you were paying for them and not the tenant. Among all those expenses you can find community fees, household in surance premiums, local rates and rubbish
collection fees, TV/satellite bills, any repara tions you can make in the property, etc. Water and electricity bills are also de ductible though they used to be paid by the tenant, specially in long term contracts. If you were a tax resident in Spain, you do not need to make quarterly rental tax returns.
Your rental incomes should be declared in your annual Income Tax returns along with your other ones (pensions, salaries, etc). In case you were resident, property expenses could be deductible in the same way as if you were nonresident, you should be an EU citi zen and paying for them and not the tenant. • Renting out your property through an es tate agent The property also needs to be registered with the VTD, but it is the estate agent who does it for you in case your prop erty has not been registered before. Your es tate agent should be also registered with the VTD to deal with your rentals. You must provide him with some docu ments from you and your property, such as your passport, NIE, title deed and occupation licence. The agent will need them either to register your property with the VTD or to rent it out on your behalf. It is also necessary for you to sign a mandate with the agent so that he can rent out your property. The property does not need to be regis tered with the VTD, if you had agreed with your agent that it would be only rented for a long term (five years).

TEENAGE environmentalist Greta Thunberg has become one of the most influential campaigners of her generation at just 16 years old. She’s been nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize in her home country of Sweden where she has been lobbying parliament in Stockholm since August 2018. Her protest transatlantic ocean voyage by yacht from Southampton to New York catapulted her onto the global stage. She says she now has world leaders eager to have selfies taken at her side and has become the face of the youth climate change movement that has resulted in children skipping school to march against extinction. Greta Thunburg, with her wholesome rosy cheeks and pigtails, has won the admiration of millions; she has also earned her place as a hate target for those who question her credibility. Petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson reminded people he still exists by branding the youngster a ‘spoilt brat.’ Others say she has been ‘groomed’ by adults who are exploiting her youth and her Asperger’s for their own ends. The story goes that she was ‘discovered’ by her PR agency when its boss Ingmar Rentzhog happened to be walking past Stockholm Parliament and saw her solo protest with a homemade sign. In fact, the PR guru, who founded the green social network start-up business ‘We Don’t Have Time,’ had met the child and her family at a climate change conference a year earlier and has now raised more than $1.5m from investors for his company. Greta Thunberg’s passion is undoubtedly her own, but her campaign is no longer solo.

TIME OUT ‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Energy is low but your spirit seems to be getting power from somewhere. At times, it feels that it is almost outside of your own sphere. When tackling what is seen as a tedious task, you may not be aware that you are building something for the future, but there is much going on that will affect your future to a large extent.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time, things on the romantic front have been confusing, to say the least. There are decisions that someone has to make that affect you seriously. Romantically and emotionally, things come to a head but don’t let the wind of change blow away all that you have achieved. Don’t begin to doubt yourself or others will, too.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You may well feel that your business life is not going as well as you would have hoped this week. They do say that you can’t have everything right at once. This is a good time to enjoy the company of others and make your love life buzz.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something of the rebel in you this week. Even you don’t fully understand the changes taking place. You will resist any attempt to stop from expressing yourself freely. Although you prefer a peaceful time, it may be necessary to remind someone of your rights.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Because you are about to enter an active phase, it would be best to keep things as straightforward and organised as possible. Those around you may be less than exciting at the moment, so keep the interest going with joint activities and accepting interesting invitations.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Have you been a bit of a couch potato recently? Spend some of this week working towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Running yourself ragged should certainly be avoided. Seek expert advice now about a problem that just won’t go away. It will, but only with a lot of effort. Although you prefer to share your activities, this is one area that you need to concentrate on fully, so go for it alone to begin with.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Arm yourself with plenty of information about what is going on in your life at the moment. Those close might expect you to lead the way on an important matter. You need to trust your instincts more and have confidence. Think in the long term. Those who are not considered important now could be so in the future. As you prefer being in charge, this should not seem unnatural to you.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you feel like going it alone at the moment, you would do well to involve someone close in your project or exercise. There is room for improvement in both your life and your health but it can be more enjoyable if shared. Expect surprises in your love life and you will not be surprised.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It could be that you are feeling a little below par at the moment. You may assume it is because of a recent emotional upset, but it is unlikely to be quite that simple. Spend a bit of time and money on yourself for a change. Develop your talents in the realms of writing, painting and music. This need not take a large amount of time. Start with one simple project.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Despite pulling out all the stops when it comes to a certain person or project, your charm may not be working as well as usual this week. It is still a fine time to beaver on quietly in the background. A few emotional fireworks make you sit up and take notice, but try to be openminded.

I suppose women are attracted to the bad-boy image sometimes because it’s fun to have an adventure. Like eating junk food… it’s fun at the time, but ultimately not the best choice. Dita Von Teese

PETE BANNING was Clanton, Mississippi’s favourite son - a decorated Second World War hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one day he committed a shocking crime. Pete’s only statement about it - to everybody - was: “I have nothing to say.” He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave. In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during the Second World War; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defence attorney tries desperately to save him. Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grisham’s signature layers of legal suspense.

Monday to Friday 09.00 to 17.00 RAPID eye movement, or REM, sleep is a fascinating period when most of our dreams are made. Now, in a study of mice, a team of Japanese and US researchers show it may also be a time when the brain actively forgets. Their results suggest that forgetting during sleep may be controlled by neu rons found deep inside the brain that were previ ously known for making an appetite stimulating hormone. “Ever wonder why we forget many of our dreams?” said Thomas Kilduff, PhD, director of the
Sleep to forget Centre for Neuroscience at SRI International, Men lo Park, California, and a senior author of the study published in Science. “Our results suggest that the firing of a particular group of neurons during REM sleep controls whether the brain remembers new information after a good night’s sleep.” REM is one of several sleep stages the body cy cles through every night. It first occurs about 90
minutes after falling asleep and is characterised by darting eyes, raised heart rates, paralysed limbs, awakened brain waves and dreaming. For more than a century, scientists have ex plored the role of sleep in storing memories. While many have shown that sleep helps the brain store new memories, others, including Francis Crick, the codiscoverer of the DNA double helix, have raised
the possibility that sleep in particular REM sleep may be a time when the brain actively eliminates or forgets excess information. Moreover, recent studies in mice have shown that during sleep in cluding REM sleep the brain selectively prunes synaptic connections made between neurons in volved in certain types of learning. Until this study, no one had shown how this might happen. Janet He, PhD, programme director, at NINDS said “This study provides the most direct evidence that REM sleep may play a role in how the brain decides which memories to store.”

Brain food WITH life expectancy ever increasing, many of us are looking for ways to improve our quality of life and reverse any damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Fortunately, researchers in Spain have found a way of reversing brain damage brought about by high fat diets. A study at the Jaume I University in Castella de la Plana found mice which were given high levels of fat developed damage to their nervous system similar to that in Alzheimer’s patients, but that this was reversed when they were fed a plant hormone. This hormone, abscisic acid, was found to reduce inflammation in the part of the brain where we store memories. Researchers be lieve this effect may be caused be cause abscisic acid helps regulate insulin levels which, when out of balance, can cause inflammation in insulin receptors in the hippocam pus, the region of the brain which governs long term memories. In flammation of the nervous system
and unregulated insulin levels are both linked to Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. The study’s author, Alberto Ribes Navarro, explained: “We have been able to prove that the expression of proteins required for the proper functioning of insulin decreases in neuroinflammatory situations in duced by a highfat diet.” He added: “With the addition of ab scisic acid to the highfat diet it is possible to rebalance the regula tion of these genes, even helping them reach normal levels.” Abscisic acid is found in a plant’s xylem (the stem) and is used by plants to help with growth and development of tolerance to harsh conditions. The hormone is found natural ly in fruit and vegetables. A 2015 study into the acid also found it played a role in regulating blood sugar, which could in turn help de lay the development of diabetes. Ana Maria Sanchez, who headed up this latest study, shows how this new evidence goes even further, even undoing damage caused by an
unhealthy lifestyle. She concluded: “We have verified how a vegetable hormone, abscisic acid, is able to counter the negative effects that a highfat diet has on the central ner vous system.”

More shut eye for healthy skin THE eyes require special treatment and delicate care, whether it’s through special treatment and care or a change in lifestyle. Wrinkles, bags, dark circles, and hooded eye lids are not very flattering, and can alter our ap pearance drastically. But fortunately, the best way to a refreshed and less tired look that’ll last is simple and free. According to Dr Cameron Rokhsar, a profes sor of dermatology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, beauty sleep is real! Apparently, it is not just an expression, it is the key to beautiful, healthy skin that lasts. Sleep restores the skin’s natural balance and increases the effectiveness in skincare treat ments. Skin rejuvenates itself during sleep. Not enough sleep leads to stress, which trig gers the adrenal glands that create an over pro duction of the stress hormone, cortisol. Once the hormone is released, it stimulates the seba ceous glands to produce more oil. Stress cre ates a chain reaction that is a recipe for bad skin. Clinical studies have proven stress is the common denominator of many skin problems. Dr Rokhsar said: “When you don’t get enough sleep, not only are you tired, but you physically show the signs of sleep deprivation
NEW findings from UK gym operator PureGym have revealed that 50 per cent of non-gym goers in the UK admit to feeling scared of the gym, with some stating their gym phobia is worse than m o re commonly recognised fears such as heights, spiders or injections. The study compared gym anxi
with puffy, undereye bags and dehydrated skin. “The ideal amount of consecutive sleep is six to eight hours to allow the body to get through the five sleep stages. During these stages, the cortisol and insulin levels help produce more collagen. During the fourth stage, growth hor mones surge and tissue repair occurs.” When a lack of sleep increases the levels of stress hormones, the body undergoes chronic stress, which leads to increased inflammation and subsequent acceleration of ageing, and worsening of acne. Poor sleep habits can result in skin sensitivity and irritation. The skin gradu ally loses its ability to protect itself from all the chemicals, pollutants and dirt it comes in con tact with every day. By avoiding caffeine four to six hours before bed, limiting alcohol and heavy meals before sleep, getting regular exercise, and developing a regular bedtime and morning wakeup call, even on the weekends, your skin will thrive in a healthy glow. The skin on the eyelid is so thin and delicate it is one of the most noticeable as pects of the face, especially when skin isn’t treated right. As a delicate part of the face, it needs these healthy lifestyle changes in order to flourish.

Like most opera, it doesn’t have a happy ending and tells the story of Violetta a courte san who discovers that she is seriously ill but still attracts the attention of a young no bleman Alfredo and they live together, happily for a while until beset by financial diffi culty.
October fun ALTHOUGH many shopping centres stopped offering free entertainment at the end of September, La Zenia Boulevard still has a packed programme for the whole of October with music and plenty of entertainment for the children. This Saturday, October 5 at 6pm enjoy music from Trio Enrique Simón + 1.
Unknown to Alfredo, his father persuades Violetta to leave him and hurt and upset he returns to his family, how ever after discovering that her disease is in its final stages, he returns to her and she dies in his arms.
At the time, it was a mod ern story written by Alexan der Dumas which Verdi chose to recreate as an opera and this version is presented by Spanish Company Opera 2001 with tickets costing from €20 to €35 online.

Returning to Consular Duties CONSULAR MATTERS ONCE the summer recess i s o v e r, e v e r y o n e i n t h e public sector goes back to w o r k i n o u r P ro v i n c e . Malaga has a large and active Consular Corp made up of 40 consulates most of which have jurisdiction i n t h e p ro v i n c e s w h i c h make up Andalucia. Having consular representatives taking part in official acts shows the importance of foreign residents, communities and visitors in the economy and society in general. The Consulates in Malaga represent the interests of an important part of the population which can be up to 30 per cent in some cities on the coast. On the consular agenda there are dates in September that are ab
SAUDI NATIONAL DAY: Guests were entertained with typical delicacies and gastronomy.
solutely key such as the opening of the academic year of the University of Malaga and the reception of for eign students who come to study with the ‘Erasmus’ scholarships im plemented by the EU since years
ago which has allowed the easy and accessible mobilisation of students throughout Europe. So are the celebration of the re spective days for the National Po lice, the Local Police and the
Guardia Civil or the day of the ‘Penitentiary Institutions’ (Pris ons) these are important entries in the diaries of all those who are part of the Consular Corps and the rest of the representatives of
public institutions and authorities. Also on September 23 we had the reception where the Saudi con sulate celebrated its National Day which was held at the Hacienda El Alamo in Malaga which was attend ed by the Consular Corps, civil and military authorities , businessmen and other personalities. The Saudi Consulate displayed its famous hospitality and entertained the guests with typical Saudi delica cies and gastronomy. Next week we will all attend an other traditional celebration at the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany for the anniversary of Ger man unification. The importance of these meet ings goes far beyond the appropri ate photo opportunities and helps us build a network of official con tacts that allows us, on many occa sions to facilitate our consular work to help our citizens, always with the premise of nonintervention in inter nal affairs of the country and of course adhering to the laws in force.

Checks when buying property WHEN buying a property in Spain bear in mind the golden rule you should follow in any country - let the buyer beware! There are certain checks that should be made before any mon ey is handed over if you are to avoid an unpleasant surprise lat er on. For this reason we would always recommend you engage the services of a property pro fessional or suitably qualified lawyer to look after your inter ests. But the following is a list of the main things you should en sure are checked for. It is by no means an exhaustive list your professional advisor will be able
to tell you more. The main four things to check when buying a community prop erty to avoid potential pitfalls and problems are: 1) You or your representative should go to the ‘Registro de la Propiedad’ (Property Register) and ask for a ‘nota simple’ of the property you are interested in. They will provide you with an ac curate description of the build ing including who the current owner is, if it is mortgaged or has an ‘embargo’ (seizure order) and all the community guidelines of the property. The cost is mini mal. 2) Talk to the manager or president of the community of
owners to ensure that the seller has no debts against them: be cause if he does not pay, the debt goes with the property and the new buyer will be liable to pay outstanding community fees. 3) Read the rules of the com munity, if any, as it may include limitations and restrictions on what you may want to do with the property. 4) Finally, ask the seller to show you the Suma IBI receipts (equivalent to local rates) to make sure they have all been paid. Again, the debt is on the property so if you buy a property with debts outstanding you will have to pay them off.
BUYING: Make sure you are careful.

The highest-ever speeding fine to date - €650,000 - was handed out to a Swedish man who was clocked driving at 180 mph in Switzerland in 2010.
Muscular and athletic AUDI Sport presents the new edition of the RS Q3 and the RS Q3 Sportback. The two sport compacts offer out standing performance, athletic design and maximum everyday usability. The Singleframe with no colourcon trasting surround in the compact SUV creates an even sharper impression. The rising shoulder line on the Sportback is set farther down than on the sister model, lowering the body’s optical centre of gravity. As such, the body ap pears even more muscular and the wheels larger. Both Audi Sport highper formance sports cars under score their performance aspi ration with pronounced muscles over the wheel arches, which have been flared by 10 mil limetres. The lowslung roof line culminates
in strong, flat sloping Dpillars. The RS specific long roof edge spoiler in the RS Q3 emphasises the pronounced for ward thrust of the highperformance SUV and ensures improved downforce. The new generation of the RS Q3
comes for the first time with a dual branch RS exhaust system with large oval tailpipes on both sides and chromecoloured trims. The highperformance SUVs come standard with LED headlights. The rear

lights also feature LED technology. The multiawardwinning fivecylin der engine gains a good 17 per cent in crease in power. The RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The top speed is regulated at 250 km/h or an optional 280 km/h. The 2.5 TFSI engine is ex tremely compact and is 26
kg lighter than the previous model. Its crankcase is made of aluminium, which alone saves 18 kg. Elaborate measures reduce internal friction while at the same time increasing power output. The wheelselective torque control perfects the safe and agile han dling. Its consistently sporty tuning satis fies the basic requirements for the out standing handling of the two sport compacts. The RStuned progressive steering also conveys close contact with the road even on fast bends. The athletic design of the ex terior is echoed in the car’s in terior. The airconditioning control unit, the centre console and the MMI touch display are tilted toward the driver by 10 degrees the en tire cockpit is very much de signed with the driver in mind.

Ford Ka+ Active ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher SMALL city cars are neat and nimble but are seldom eye-catching, yet the Ford Ka+ Active is one of the exceptions, styled as a miniSUV and offering higher ground clearance and a more commanding view of the road. Add roof rails and some rugged exterior cladding and you have an SUV image, but there is no four-wheel-drive so don’t expect to do any offroading! However, street image is often important to buyers and so the Ka+ Active ticks that box - it does stand out from the city car crowd. The Ka+ range starts at €12,788 (£11,300) but the Active model is from €15,222 (£13,450) and the 1.2-litre petrol version comes with two power options - 69 hp and 84 hp. The latter is the best
choice because even with the extra power, the Ka is still quite slow off the mark with 0-100 kph taking 13.4 seconds. Top speed of 178 kph (111 mph) means it can cruise on motorways without too much strain, and its average fuel economy is good at 19.6 kpl (55.4 mpg). Emissions are 114 g/km. The exterior styling touches work well and the cabin is surprisingly spacious, taking four six-foot adults without it feeling tight. Boot space is adequate at 270 litres though with the rear seats folded you can triple the available load space. The extra ground clearance is just 23 mm but it does make a difference in giving the car a more noticeable stance and also allows a better view of the road ahead. The dashboard is simple in layout, with a central infotainment touchscreen. You get radio, smartphone mirroring, air-conditioning and cruise control among standard kit,
along with safety features which include front, side and curtain airbags, hill-start assist, and tyre-pressure monitoring. There are various option packages to add extra equipment if required. Underway, the Ka+ Active is easy to drive and handle, with light steering which still gives good feedback. Due to the extra ride height, the antiroll bar has been firmed up so cornering remains composed
and ride comfort is good. While the car’s acceleration time to 60 mph is slow by class standards, it doesn’t actually feel that slow, and the engine is relatively quiet when cruising. The Ford Ka+ is pleasant to be in and pleasing to drive, but for many the main pluspoint of this Active version is that it does stand out from city car rivals such as the Citroen C1, Volkswagen Up! and Toyota Aygo thanks to its SUV styling cues.
Ka+ ACTIVE: Pleasant to be in and pleasing to drive.

The first possession and Wales pinched it, the man with 10 on his back slotted it perfectly and first points, first blood went to Wales. HaylettPetty almost broke the line on the restart, but he could n’t maintain control and the ball went to ground. Wales ad vanced, and it was a penalty against Australia, AshleyCooper was accused of being off his feet. Biggar from near the touchline took the penalty, but he slotted it just to the left. It was a letoff for Australia, 60 could have been a harsh start. On the 11th minute the scrum collapsed, Australia was accused of angling. The Welsh line out was about 20m out. They went deep and it was North on the run once again. A few phases, but Australia’s defence picked out the oneoff runners. Biggar kicked to the corner, and it was Parkes who raised above Koroi bete to pluck the crossfield bomb and place it for a Welsh try. Big gar converted with ease taking the game to 010.

Leicester City were rampant in the sec ond period, as they played 10 men scor ing four times via a Vardy brace, a Paul Dummett own goal, and a late Wilfred Ndidi strike.

crucial trysaving tackle, Australia came back for the penalty. Foley slotted it from 10m in from touch. It floated a little ugly, but it flew between the sticks to make it 810 and narrow the scoreline. Owens won a lineout feed on 30 minutes, which Wales won but it was a poor pass out of the halves and Patchell did very well to pick up off his bootlaces. The Welsh continued to probe and it was Hooper who was eventually penalised for coming in over the top. Patchell lined up for the kick and scored taking the game to 813 extend ing the Welsh lead. It was another penalty three minutes later against Australia af ter yet another foul to which Wales again slotted home to
