UNLICENSED: Guardia Civil have arrested a man who killed a pedestrian while driving under the influence of drugs and without a licence.
Walker ploughed down A 54-YEAR-OLD deaf man was killed and another injured in Valencia when they were hit by an alleged drunk and drugged man driving without a licence. The deceased was walking along the pavement when the driver reportedly lost control of the BMW and hit him and an-
other pedestrian. Police arrived on the scene to find that one of the pedestrians had already died and the other one was in need of medical assistance. The injured man was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries having been able to jump clear of the car before it mounted the pavement.
The car was stopped by the police and the driver tested positive for cannabis and cocaine. Police officers apprehended the driver and another occupant of the car, but only after the young man behind the wheel got out of the vehicle and tried to flee, but was arrested by one of the policemen after a chase.

They stumble through the elegant streets of Madrid with their hoofs clattering on the asphalt. A procession of people singing and dancing precedes them. Keeping the beat with castanets, women in mantillas, customary head coverings, and large, colourful skirts with aprons and men in wide pants tucked into long socks swirl around each other in a ‘jota,’ a traditional Spanish dance.
The dancers wear wooden shoes on spikes, paying homage to the pastors who wear them to navigate muddy fields. Accompanied by the sounds of flutes and tambourines, the Madrid mayor greets the shepherds in front of City Hall. When the 2,000 sheep appear on the square, the public spills onto the plaza. The shepherds then pay the mayor 50 maravedís al millar - 50 coins per thousand heads - the payment established in 1418 for crossing the city.

Back to the dark IT is impossible to pay to park at the municipal car park beneath San Vicente Town Hall with a €20 note. A sign reminds drivers that they must pay either in coins or notes of €5 or €10 and there are no facilities for paying by credit card, let alone with a mobile or smart watch. Opposition councillor Jordi Roig who belongs to the Ciudadanos party called on the PSOE-EU coalition at the town hall to replace the existing cashier machines with more modern versions. “It’s backward for a public car park run by a town hall in 2019 to lack the necessary technology for drivers to pay with a credit card or mobile app,” Roig complained. Users cannot even pay with €20 or €50 notes and change is always given in coins, he pointed out. As a result, the inconvenience meant that people were discouraged from using the car park.

Q fever plot fumigated
COSTLY: San Jorge bridge’s piers need restoring.
Bridge breaks the budget REHABILITATING the San Jorge bridge will cost Alcoy City Hall more than it originally budgeted for. The city’s Public Works department was preparing to restore the bridge’s abutments and complete ongoing renovations, but municipal engineers have now detected carbonation in its reinforced concrete piers. The cement has become porous over time and rainwater is beginning to filter
through to the embedded steel, explained Public Works councillor Jordi Martinez. “We are not worried about the stability of the bridge because this is not like aluminosis and can be treated,” Martinez stressed. “But, as with the balustrades earlier, we shall have to remove the rust that is affecting the metal structure.” The Public Works department is preparing an estimate to decide whether
the municipal budget can complete the necessary repairs in one phase or if these will need to be carried out in stages. The bridge, which is the principal access to Alcoy’s Old Quarter, is 245 metres long and stands 45.5 metres above the River Riquer at its highest point. It was built between 1925 and 1931 and is regarded as one of the Valencian Community’s most outstanding examples of Art Deco architecture.
THE plot where goats spread Q Fever in Villajoyosa has been fumigated. The Local Police cordoned off the land and surrounding areas the previous day, leaving warning notices to avoid the immediate area while fumigation was taking place. Five people, including a child of three, have been diagnosed with Q Fever since last August, with results pending for two more suspected cases. All of the families affected by the disease are being treated by the health service, confirmed Villajoyosa’s Environment councillor Jose Carlos Gil who insisted there was no cause for alarm. “Q Fever is not easily transmitted,” he said, but recommended that anyone with nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or muscular pain should attend their nearest health centre without delay. The goats that caused the disease were kept in unhygienic conditions with dogs, horses and a pony and all have been moved. The plot was thoroughly fumigated to eliminate all parasites, including ticks, that could be carriers . Vegetation is being stripped but it will also be necessary to treat the animals’ droppings.
Seabed pollution THE whole community is being invited to help clean part of the seabed in Rincon de Loix in Benidorm on Saturday, October 19. The clean-up has been organised by the Mundomar Foundation and is supported by the council and the Centro de Buceo Nisos Diving. The first phase of the seabed clearance will include recreational activities and awareness workshops for children. While professional divers from the centre will carry out the deep sea clean-up, snorkelers are invited to help out in the shallow depths in rocky areas. Mayor Monica Gomez said:
CLEAN-UP: Joint initative to clear seabed in Benidorm. “We want residents and tourists to see the beautiful part of the beaches, but also to be aware of the devastation they can suffer from human neglect,” adding that the whole community can
help ‘combat the crisis of pollution.’ Anybody interested in taking part should register by calling 628 034 829. All participants will receive a commemorative tshirt.

VIOLENT: A man has been arrested for breaking a restraining order and resisting arrest in Denia.
Man breaks order THE National Police arrested a 29year-old man in Denia who broke a restraining order and threatened his ex-partner. The man allegedly struggled with the officers when they tried to arrest him and caused minor injuries which led to him being charged with the crime of attempted assault of a police officer.
The ex-partner was visiting the man’s parents with their baby when the man arrived even though the woman had a restraining order against him. A heated argument broke out and the police were called. The man was so angry that the paramedics that arrived, they had no choice but to sedate him before tending to the police officers and the woman.
Pension protests A GROUP of pensioners and retirees set off from Javea, Denia and Pego to Madrid this week to protest against the deterioration of public pensions. A huge protest was organised in the capital to stand up to “the looting of the piggy bank of pensions and social injustice represented by pensions of poverty, contributory and non-contributory, for many people who have worked for many years and will now receive pensions that do not allow us to live with a minimum of dignity,” said Iaioflautas, the organisation responsible for the social movement. Those who travelled in buses from the Marina Alta area were joined by hundreds of pensioners from all over the country that marched from different points around Madrid to raise awareness and protest against these pension cuts.
Secret sex slaves A CRACKDOWN on street sex sales may have pushed prostitution underground in Valencia. Charity workers helping women on the streets say numbers have decreased, but it is feared that people traffickers are holding sex slaves in secret brothels. There is also a concern that prostitution is being pushed out of city ‘red light’ districts into residential areas. A report from the church charity Caritas of Valencia,
which offers women support to quit the streets, shows that 133 women were helped in the last year. According to the report, 51 women were identified as victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. Of those approached, 63 had joined the charity’s rehabilitation programme and 25 of those had now given up prostitution. The number of women making contact has been falling since 2016 from a high of 224, but it is believed a burgeoning sex industry is operating unseen in flats and
basements across the city. The charity’s rehabilitation programme is supported by Valencia Council which has already promised to close down secret brothels with the police. One area being targeted is the Velluters neighbourhood where problems have increased. Lead councillor for Citizen Protection Aarón Cano said: “We are working on Velluters and anywhere in Valencia where this practice is presumably exercised against the fundamental rights of women.”

Man coerces young girl A 23-YEAR-OLD has been sentenced to two years in prison by the Alicante Court of Appeals for coercing a minor to have sexual relations with him. The man coerced the young girl to have sexual relations with him by threatening to share explicit images that she had sent to him over WhatsApp. The abuse allegedly took place from mid-summer of 2014 until June 2015, when the victim was between 14 and 15 years old, in two homes located in the municipality of Alcoy where the man and the girl both lived. According to the ruling, the convicted man used images of the victim to engage in full sexual intercourse ‘by coercion’ and threatened to publish the photos which left the girl feeling that she had no choice but to do what he asked of her. The man has been accused of continuing sexual abuse, after assuming responsibility for the facts and accepting the penalty proposed by the public prosecutor and the private prosecutor at the beginning of the oral hearing. In its initial brief, the prosecutor's office had requested eight years’ imprisonment for the young man, while the private prosecution, brought by the victim’s family, had raised that request to 14 years in prison.

One particular place that this construction litter can be seen is in the northern part of Granadella where construction has just finished on a collection of luxury villas. A few metres down the cliff, away from these opulent and lavish properties, there are large bags of rubble that have just been abandoned. Aside from being an eyesore on the landscape, these sacks also block the traditional fishing paths.

Forest fire patrol THIS summer, the Javea Civil Protection group have carried out 4,485 hours of forest surveillance to prevent forest fires compared with 3,020 last year. The volunteers have been patrolling the forests from June to October 9 and have maintained morning and afternoon shifts with four volunteers and two vehicles. On days when there was a greater risk of fire, the patrols were increased to three teams. The lookout points are the tower of La Granadella and the lookout point of Cap de Sant Antoni. The reinforcement of volunteers and increased vigilance has been key to preventing fires throughout the summer. One example of their essential work was a fire that broke out in Rafalet in which the volunteers sprung to action and used water cannons to stop the flames spreading to the neighbouring houses.
Residents call for help RESIDENTS in Moraira raised the alarm after not seeing their 97-year-old neighbour for a few days.

She was taken to the health centre to ensure she was feeling better and find out what caused her to fall. There are lots of elderly people living in the Marina Alta area. The social services work hard to check on these elderly people but it helps if neighbours keep an eye out for vulnerable residents and offer support.

BREXIT BRIEF
A REPORT in the Mail on Sunday says that many Conservative MPs and ministers are up in arms against EU Commissioner Michel Barnier after he made it clear that in his opinion UK government changes to the proposed deal were insufficient. He doesn’t believe that the Irish backstop alternative is sufficient to gain support from the 27 member states but rather than finalise negotiations last Monday, the EU was prepared to allow talks to continue until the eve of the Thursday summit in the hopes that a compromise could be found. As time ticked away it also has to be remembered that any new deal has to be translated into all of the languages of each member state and should also be reviewed by legal teams to ensure that the wording is in accordance with the law in each country.

The EU negotiators have accepted that there has been a softening of the government position on Northern
Ireland, but it may well be insufficient for them to agree to the latest proposed deal and the fact that the government does not have a majority certainly strengthens the EU hand. What no-one can predict is what would happen if the EU decided not to allow a further extension and although many consider this is
extremely unlikely, it is one of a number of possible scenarios. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn continues to oppose the concept of a General Election at this stage although it now seems more likely that he would acquiesce if and when an additional extension is applied for and agreed.

Drug theft A NURSE, aged 46, has been arrested by the National Police on charges of allegedly stealing opioid, psychotropic and narcotic drugs from several health centres in the Valencia region where she worked. The arrested woman apparently stole medicines which, if administered inappropriately, could cause serious damage to people’s health. The woman worked in several health centres in the community and allegedly took medicines that
were locked away, as reported yesterday by sources of the National Police in a statement. The investigation began when the police were informed of the disappearance of three vials of opioid drugs (morphine and doline in particular). The health centre began to lock the drugs away but more disappeared during the same shift when the accused woman was working. The police arrested the woman and released her after taking her statement and warned her that she will have to appear before a judge for sentencing.

In Spain there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws. Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place. National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.
The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 health emergencies 080 - firefighters. By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report.
091 or 902 102 112 from 9am to 9pm
Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112.
Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

CARLOS BAOS WE CAN HELP YOU WHEN a decision is made by the Courts of one country, that resolution can affect the situation in other coun-
Enforcement of a Foreign Court decision in Spain tries where the defendant or plaintiff may have connections. One of the most significant
examples of this is divorce settlements and as an example a couple gets divorced through the courts of their country (United Kingdom, Ireland, etc). Among the assets that the spouses have in co-ownership there is a holiday home, which is located in another country (for example Spain) and by joint agreement or by the decision of a judge, it is awarded to just one of the spouses. Other situations may include judgements that regulate the custody of children, as well as declarations as to who is the owner of diverse assets such as property. Any decision made in one country does not automatically apply to the situation in other countries and must be
recognised by the courts there. For a foreign judgement to be valid in Spain, therefore, it must be recognised by the Spanish courts and to achieve this, there are currently two coexisting procedures which depend on the country where the court decision was first issued. Since the entry into force of the Regulation of the European Union No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 12, regarding judicial jurisdiction, over the recognition and enforcement of judicial decisions in civil and commercial matters, the rulings issued in a member state of the European Union must be recognised in the rest of the member states without the need of
any process. It will be enough to present to the courts in Spain a copy of the resolution with the legal requirements that certify its authenticity and a certificate that was issued by the court, being able to use the form described in the Regulation in its first annex. If the country where the sentence was issued is not a member state of the European Union, one must initiate the so-called exequatur procedure. This is a procedure regulated in Spain through Law 29/2015 of July 30 on international legal cooperation in civil matters. Through this procedure, the person who wishes that a judgement issued abroad is recognised in Spain, must request their recognition before
FEATURE
the Court of First Instance that is competent according to the Law. With this process, the Spanish court will check the overseas courts decision and will verify that it conforms to the laws and the basic principles of Spanish law and will decide whether or not it will be recognised. The causes for which the judge can deny the recognition of an overseas court decision are described in article 46 of the said Law and amongst other reasons we would highlight that it may be contrary to Spanish Law, or incompatible with another court decision issued in Spain. If you have obtained a favourable ruling in your country, and it must be applied or executed in Spain, and you want expert legal advice, contact us.

RINCON: Councillors with Neighbours’ Committee vicepresidents.
BENIDORM councillors for Citizens’ Participation, Public Spaces, Public Works and Street Cleaning concluded their visits to all districts. These visits and interviews with residents’ association have been carried out over the last few months to pinpoint each area’s needs and in many cases minor problems have been solved on the spot. In others, solutions were found as soon as possible. The last visit was to the Rincon de Loix where the councillors involved, Ana Pellicer and Jose Ramon Gonzalez de Zarate, met Teresa Garrido and Manuel Sanchez Notario, the two vice-presidents of the Consejo Vecinal (Neighbours’ Committee). De Zarate stressed that the Rincon was an area where the town hall has acted “often and well” including work on Avenida Ametlla del Mar, Avenida Juan Fuster Zaragoza and re-
cently-finished Calle Londres. “Streetlamps have been substituted with environmentfriendly LED lighting, pavements replaced, a bicycle lane added, and roads resurfaced,” De Zarate said. “The Rincon problems underground owing to deteriorated pipes bringing the domestic water supply, storm drains and the main drainage system,” he conceded. The councillor revealed plans for improvements to these problems have been drafted and surface water will be drained off at Ametlla del Mar to prevent flooding further down during periods of torrential rain. Plans for improvements to Calle Estocolmo and Calle Montecarlo have also been drafted and those for Calle Paris, Calle Rotterdam and the remaining section of Calle Londres are “very advanced,” De Zarate said.

Albir - Alfaz NEWS ALFAZ Town Hall has sterilised 210 cats this year, later retur ning them to their colonies. This prevents feline overpopulation while improving their health and living conditions, stressed Alfaz’s Health and Animal Protection councillor Marisa Cortes. “That is the most effective and humane method for controlling the colonies,” she said. The Trap-Neuter-Return system was first suggested in Alfaz in 2015 and approved by the council the following year. Since then the project, carried out with cooperation from volunteers, vets and the APPA Animal Protection Association, has sterilised and returned more than 1,100 strays.

STERILISATION SCHEME: Cortes with APPA members and volunteers.
The town hall allocated €12,000 to the scheme last year and received a €5,000 grant from Alicante’s provincial council, the Diputacion. Eighty authorised volun-
teers take part in the scheme, helping to trap and return the cats. They are also authorised to keep the colonies supplied with dry food, as the town hall
prohibits leaving food and leftovers for the strays. “This encourages insects and vermin, which generates all kinds of problems, Cortes said.
Mozart and Beethoven recital OCTOBER, Alfaz’s classical music month, traditionally features the Mozartmania festival which this year celebrates its 29th anniversary. This Saturday sees a recital
by the International Wind Ensemble, a piano and wind quintet who will be playing works by Mozart and Beethoven in a performance organised by the town hall’s Culture department and Alfaz’s Classical Music Society. All are international soloists from Spain and Italy whose repertoire includes works by Brahms, Debussy, Schumann or Bernstein. Saturday’s programme provides an unmissable opportunity to hear Mozart and Beethoven’s quintets for piano and wind instruments, the organisers said.

The celebrations commemorating Jaime I’s retaking of Valencia from the Moors on October 9, 1238, began the previous afternoon with a talk on Landscape and Biodiversity on the Alicante coast from Juan Antonio Marco Molina.
This was followed by a competition to produce the best version of the traditional Marina Baja dish, pebrereta, and a concert by the Callosa group Soca en Arrel. The next day there were activities for all the family before and after the local poet and essayist Jaume Perez-Montaner read the October 9 manifesto, including children’s w o rk s h ops a nd a pla y by A nima c ione s Trokolo.

Entitled Secretos de una mujer feliz (Secrets of a happy woman) the course continues until next May and is open to women of all ages
and nationalities, promoting empowerment individually, collectively and socially. “The course will show them how to handle emotions, listen to them and recognise them,” explained Equality councillor Rocio Guijarro. “It also promotes self-esteem, motivation, and capacity for decision-making.” The empowerment course will provide spaces for re-
flection and self-awareness that can show women how to identify what they need and what they lack, while improving their self-esteem by appreciating their qualities and resources, Guijarro said. The organisers also hope that the course can stimulate creativity, positivity and good humour, helping participants to recognise their personal worth, generating networks and encouraging unity.

CALPE Town Hall intends to fine the company that cleans the resort’s beaches. The town hall maintains that the company failed to comply with its contract obligations. In July officials from the Beaches department saw piles of seaweed that had been brought to the shore after a period of heavy seas. The town notified the company, asking it to remove the accumulated seaweed. The company took three days to carry out the request. Although the piled-up Posidonia Oceanica (Neptune Grass) was not a danger to the public and there
was no risk of polluting the sand, the town hall had received numerous complaints from beachgoers, municipal sources explained. Other Marina Baja beaches experienced the same problem although in the case of Denia, for instance, the town hall was initially reluctant to remove the seaweed for environmental reasons. According to one of the technical clauses in the contract agreed by the beachcleaning firm and the town hall, any breach of its terms would incur a fine. In the present case the town hall is considering a â‚Ź6,000 fine for 0two grave lapses,0 the same municipal sources said.

TEUMO EMPLOYEE: Municipal company is a money-saver. TEULADA-MORAIRA is saving €400,000 by maintaining its own rubbish-collection service. This is provided by municipally-owned Teumo Serveis Publics, explained councillor Hector Morales. The public sector company was created by the predecessors of the CompromisPSOE-Non-Aligned coalition that now controls the local government. Morales applauded the Partido Popular’s decision to create Teumo during the 2011-2015 legislature when the town hall was headed by Antoni Joan Bertomeu. Many voices inside Bertomeu’s own
party spoke out against the initiative, said Morales, who claimed that Teumo was badly managed during the 2015-2019 term. According to the town hall accounts, if rubbish collection and street cleaning were outsourced, it would cost the town hall an annual €2.8 million instead of €2.4 million. The town hall is now spending €784,000 on new rubbish collection lorries, which will bring further savings by eliminating the €15,000 a month spent on renting the lorries that Teumo currently uses.

Javea NEWS
RESIDENTS have complained to the town hall and the regional Ombudsman about the dangers to pedestrians on the CV742. They are also petitioning the provincial council, the Diputacion, the body that is responsible for the road’s upkeep, asking for measures guaranteeing the safety of those on foot. Traffic is always heavy on the CV-742 Portitxol road, which gives access to the urbanisations in Javea’s southern area, above all in the summer when its population can reach 25,000, residents point out. Hundreds of pedestrians cross the road each day, including pupils waiting for their school bus as well as others walking to a nearby private school. Residents fear that someone, whether a child or adult, will eventually be run over. There is only one zebra crossing on the section of the CV742 between Pla roundabout and the Cabo de la Nao as well as a footbridge near the school, although this is not the only problem, according to residents. There are no pavements and the streetlighting is inadequate, they maintain.
Recycling in pink IN Javea it is now possible to recycle glass and help to combat cancer at the same time Two Ecovidrio recycling points painted pink - the colour of the fight against breast cancer - have been installed in Plaza Marina Alta in front of the Correos post office. They were located there thanks to the town hall’s Services department and the activist, Maria Ferrer, who has had cancer herself. The recycling points belong to the Recycle glass for them campaign which continues in Javea until the end of October. During this time the value of the glass that has been left in the pink containers will be transformed into a donation to the Fundacion Sandra Ibarra de Solidaridad Frente al Cancer foundation, which raises funds for the prevention of cancer and research into the disease.

Three of the group were killed and although one cyclist emerged unscathed from the accident on the N-332 in Oliva, Scott Gordon and Andres Contreras suffered serious injuries. Both are still suffering the after-effects and Scott has now entered the operating theatre

He must now wear an external fixation splint for the next six months, and Scott recently told the Spanish media that he and the surgeon believe that this fourth operation is going to be the last.

A NEW Cabo de Sant Antonio lookout has substituted the former mirador in the Montgo national park. Its successor is reached by a path that starts at the lighthouse and is marked out with posts and ropes so that users do not trample the land on either side. Park sources explained that vegetation there is still regenerating and recovering from the fire that devastated 444 hectares of Montgo land five years ago. The new lookout is set a little further back than the original mirador whose original posts have not yet been removed, although the ropes disappeared in the 2013 fire.

Twitter pays less tax IN a fresh example of tax avoidance in multi billion dollar companies, annual accounts have revealed that the Spanish affiliate of Twitter pays less in corporate tax than it spends on one worker’s salary annually. According to the figures issued to Spain’s Company Registry, Twitter Spain paid only €113,131 in company taxes in 2018, and registered an annual profit of just €221,038, 13.9 per cent on the previous year with revenues of €4.5 million. The figures the company have revealed are only representative of the income made from the marketing, advertising and business-development services it provides to the Irish branch of the Twitter. The company actually made a great amount more in profits but it transferred the majority of its revenue to Ireland where Twitter, along with other multinational companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple, make use of the 12 per cent business tax rate. Ireland holds the largest share of the US company’s business in Europe, which allows the Spanish division of the company to transfer the money without ringing alarm bells. The total tax paid by Twitter Spain in 2018 which was reported at €113,131, is €20,000 less than the average wage of one of its 19 workers which sits at €131,578 before taxes, including social security contributions and other employee costs.
Campaign detects child seat lawbreakers
SEIZED: Fake toys of well-known brands were discovered.
Counterfeit toys IT would appear that criminals are getting ready for Christmas early. Police have just seized 65,000 counterfeit toys with a market value of more than €372,000. The toys, which police say were packed and ready to be shipped throughout Spain, lacked the relevant child safety controls, putting children at risk. Officers of the National Police and officials of the Tax Agency, seized the fake toys at an industrial warehouse in Fuenlabrada (Madrid). The investigation started when tax officials received international information on possible

imports of counterfeit toys. In particular, they detected a consignment from the UK with 249 packages suspected of containing fakes. National Police together with officials from the Tax Agency followed up a delivery of 32 packages to an industrial estate in Fuenlabrada. Once the shipment was registered and the packages opened, the officers found they contained a large number of counterfeit toys of well-known brands, prepared to be distributed and marketed throughout Spain. As a result of the operation, officers arrested a woman as the alleged perpetrator of a crime against industrial property.
A TRAFFIC safety campaign focusing on seatbelt use led to the detection of 232 cases of children travelling in vehicles without any kind of child restraint system. In 63 of the cases the child was sitting in the front seat. Guardia Civil officers checked more than 400,000 vehicles in Spain’s roads during the week-long General Directorate of Traffic campaign. They detected 3,768 adults travelling without buckling up. Nearly 75 per cent of the adults who were not using seatbelts were travelling on ordinary roads, on which eight out of 10 traffic accident deaths in Spain occur. Seat belt use is obligatory for all vehicle occupants and on all types of roads in Spain. Traffic regulations demand that child passengers with a height of 135cms or less must be in suitable retention systems according to their size and weight and must be in the back. If a vehicle does not have a back, if all the back seats are occupied by other children or if it is not possible to install any kind of child safety seat in this part of a vehicle, children can travel in the front, but always using the appropriate restraint system.

Mass killing LIFELINE: Former Thomas Cook employees to be given Hays lifeline.
Employee lifeline as rival buys stores AROUND 2,500 exThomas Cook employees could be handed a lifeline as travel agent rival Hays Travel has announced that it will buy 555 of the 563 Thomas Cook high street stores. The independent travel agent, Hays Travel says it
will rebrand the shops under their own name and will open them with immediate effect. The company has already offered 600 former employees jobs and is urging other employees to apply to deal with its rapid expansion programme.
John Hays, CEO of Hays Travel explained, “It is a game-changer for us, almost trebling the number of shops we have and doubling our workforce - and for the industry, which will get to keep some of its most talented people.” In a current climate where independent travel agents are struggling amongst their online rivals, Hays are seemingly bucking the trend and reported a total profit last year of £10 million from £329 million of sales. Irene Hays, chair of Hays Travel, said, “Thomas Cook was a much-loved brand and a pillar of the UK and the global travel industry.” Hays currently employs 1,900 staff and looks to employ around 2,500 more as part of its buyout, 100 of which will be based at the company’s headquarters in Sunderland. If you were affected by the collapse and would like to apply for any of the positions, details can be found on the Hays Travel website https://www.haystravel.co.uk /thomas-cook.

Rent aid for flood victims HALF-A-MILLION EUROS has been set aside to help those left destitute following recent floods. The regional government has allocated €500,000 to help those made homeless by the recent floods pay their rent. Subsidies of between €420 and €490 per month were approved at a plenary session last Friday and are intended for residents of the Vega Baja and Vall d’Albaida. An assessment of the general state of housing was made in the two weeks following the storm, with some properties declared uninhabitable and irreparable. This situation has forced large numbers of people to leave their homes permanently. Therefore, the Generalitat has allocated half-a-million euros of its own funds, with the aim of enabling them to find ‘dignified’ alternative accommodation. Only one application for aid per dwelling may be submitted. The documentation must be presented in the post-emergency coordination offices or in local town halls, preferably where the home is located. At the same time, the regional government has approved aid for another 16 municipalities, with a total of €10 million set aside for urgent work.

A colourful and multicultural day
New cars on the children’s ward
ALFAZ is preparing for the 22nd edition of International Day on October 27. T h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l D a y, a f i r s t f o r t h e area, was created to celebrate something that Alfaz in fact celebrates 365 days of the year, thanks to its multicultural society. This year’s edition differs from those of previous years because for the first time it will be held in Plaza Juan Carlos I in front of the Casa de Cultura instead of the Polideportivo municipal sports complex. Sixty-four local groups and associations of all nationalities are taking part in the event, an increase of 14 on last year. The day will begin at 10.30am, with the official inauguration at 11am and continuing until 5pm with representatives from the different groups introducing members of the public to their countries’ cuisine, music, dances and folklore. Martine Mertens, Alfaz’s councillor for Residents of other Nationalities also asked as many of the participants and visitors to the events to come in their national costumes to add still more colour to an already colourful day.
YOUNGSTERS at Marbella’s Costa del Sol hospital now have two electric cars to drive themselves to tests and operations in. The idea is to help children overcome fear, stress and boredom in a difficult time. The cars have been donated by the charity Golfriends Puma Volkswagen, with charity organiser Carlos Coronil thinking up the idea. The Paediatric ward received the cars t h i s w e e k , w i t h t h e d e p a r t m e n t ’s h e a d nurse saying that it is a positive move which will help children settle into what can be a daunting environment. The cash to buy the cars came from a monthly golf tournament organised by Carlos for the past five years. As well as helping the hospital, associations and other charities have also benefited. It may be a little while before the children drive to operations as the nursing staff want to see how other hospitals in Spain organise similar initiatives. In the meantime, children will be free to enjoy themselves by driving round the ward.
FOR FOODIES: Cuisine will remain a key promotional platform for the city in 2020.
Irresistible Almeria ALMERIA wants to keep up the momentum of the city’s 2019 national gastronomy capital status. With a view to seeing the provincial capital widely recognised as a top ‘foodie’ tourist destination, the city council has devised a fresh marketing strategy for next year. Speaking at the inauguration of the fourth ‘Almeria beyond 2019 Ideas Forum, city mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco unveiled a new slogan for 2020: ‘Almeria Ciudad Gastronomica. Para comersela,’ translating more or less as ‘Almeria Gastronomy City. Irresistible.’ The council leader revealed there will be a new headquarters in the city’s central market for activities promoting cuisine. Also on the agenda is an annual gastronomy congress, which promises to bring together top professionals and the best of national cooking. Further plans to appeal to the gastro tourism market include creating a sticker to go on all products exported from Almeria, a network of gastro cities and a map of local dishes. In addition, linking heritage and cuisine and strengthening the connection between health and diet under the slogan ‘Almeria puerta de dieta mediterranea,’ or Almeria gateway to the Mediterranean diet.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Who maintains terraces? Are community terraces the whole responsi bility of the community? The terraces accord ing to the original builder are the responsibility of the community, but several of the houses have a shared terrace and others have their own small terrace area. I believe the community is only responsible for the tiled roof area, but not the terrace walls. Several of the owners have paid for maintenance of the terrace area out of their own pockets, but other owners claim the community should pay. T H (Costa Blanca) Communi ty terraces are regulated by the YOU AND THE Law of Horizontal LAW IN SPAIN Property which es tablishes that private property, such as flats, includes only what is enclosed by the outside wall of the building. Any thing outside the walls, such as terraces or garden plots, is community property. However, ‘exclusive use’ is usually as signed to the individual owners and Spanish courts have usually ruled that ordinary maintenance is their responsibili ty. From your description I gather that your community has semidetached houses and some partially roofed terraces, which complicates the issue. It would be a good idea to clarify this at the next AGM.

New £20 notes design By John Smith THE Bank of England has an nounced that it will be issuing a new £20 note produced in poly mer featuring the artist JMW Turner on February 20 next year. Always alert to the fact that counterfeiting is a major problem, especially with the £20 denomina tion, the Bank said that this new note contains sophisticated secu rity features making it the most secure Bank of England banknote yet. For the first time, the note in corporates two windows and a
£20 NOTE: New design and material.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner A NEW piece of research from Mintel says that in the same way ‘middle class’ and more affluent shoppers have turned to Aldi and Lidl in the UK, they are also frequenting so-called ‘chicken shops.’ This means that despite financial problems for some food chains, British diners are set to spend £7.5 billion (€8.25 billion) on burgers and chicken in 2019. Thirty-seven per cent of consumers are ordering home deliveries more often from burger and chicken
outlets than they did a year ago and this seems likely to increase. One of the reasons given is consumers feel these outlets are now offering more healthy options than they did a year ago, which has encouraged them to increase their patronage and buy that more wholesome meal. Ironically, those same restaurants and take-aways have seen a fall in spend from those who are less well off.
twocolour foil, making it very dif ficult to counterfeit. There are some two billion £20 notes currently in circulation (more than the total number of £5, £10 and £50 notes) which makes it the most logical note to try to copy and so far this year, more than 200,000 fakes have been seized. Bank notes produced in polymer last longer and stay in better condi tion than paper notes, although there have been complaints from veg ans and religious groups about the use of tallow which is derived from animal fat. The alternative is to use palm oil which is both more expensive and is also controversial because of its effect on the environment. The new £20 note will be the first to feature the signature of Sarah John, the Bank’s Chief Cashier, but those with paper notes needn’t rush out to spend them as notice will be given six months before they cease to be le gal tender.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT ONE thing the Brits have never lacked is courage. World wars, the blitz, Roman invaders and a whole host of past adversaries, have always failed to quench the indomitable spirit of our great Island race. Well I’m sorry to say that whole scenario is now changing. An enemy more deadly than all the opposing forces that have assailed us in the past now threatens to engulf our once great country and is slowly but surely eating us away from within. For the first time ever people are genuinely frightened. Today’s adversaries are the bureaucrats; the MPs, the socalled leaders of the British people; men and women who were voted in to positions of power and trusted to protect and stand up for the British public and defend their rights and their heritage. The betrayal by these people is making UK citizens feel even more unsafe in their own country than they felt when the Nazi jackboot threatened them in the Second World War. At least at that time we were all in it together. The ene my was there for all to see, and the Brits knew who, and what they were fighting for. Now the scenario is so confused people are

PC defeats spirit
I REST MY CASE: ‘Preacher’ comedian almost won the show! utterly baffled as to how they should react or even behave. I’ll give you an example. In my cabaret spot I do slip in a couple of extremely mild ‘racist’ jokes. As the act has never really changed (I know, I know!) I have seen the dif ferent reaction to these same gags from British audiences over many years. At first the stories were generally met with
open guffaws of pretty innocuous merriment. As the years went by reactions slowly altered. These different phases went from full on laughter to somewhat derisive scoffing. We then moved on to laughter mixed with occa sional whoops of defiant communal assent. The next phase involved rather more sub dued sniggers with people looking at each other
to see if their merriment was being shared. We have now hit rock bottom. What I see now is subdued embarrassment and actual fear on the audience faces as they furtively glance around to see if they could be involved in some type of ‘offence’ that could get them reprimanded or even arrested. And it’s not pretty. The British spirit is being defeated by politi cal correctness ‘Uman rights advocators and the appeasers of minority groups to a point where they are utterly confused as to what is right and wrong and are actually in fear of re vealing their true feelings in public. And it’s all one way traffic. An example of this was that awful black ‘preacher’ comedian who took part in the re cent BGT champions final. His whole act was racist. He spoke in an utterly derogatory way about having white girls out on a date and how black girls’ reactions were far more ‘with it’ and acceptable. If he had been a white co median talking about black women in the same way there would have been uproar from the luvvies that would probably have in volved legal proceedings. As it was he nearly won the show! I rest my case. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

Today’s policing problems 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
REPEATEDLY nowadays we read how the UK police struggle to cope with increased demands, especially knife crime. Plus news of one force, Cleveland police, rated ‘inadequate’ and put in special measures! Let alone the Met and its nonexistent Westminster paedo ring fiasco. Everyone has an opinion about how the police should be deployed based on their personal needs, but surely their pri mary role is the protection of life, prop erty and keeping the peace? Modern so ciety has added additional burdens but they must be secondary to this. People who don’t feel secure in their homes and neighbourhoods are hardly likely to care about what some person posted on the internet about gender di versity. Why do the police have to be re sponsible for policing the internet and child porn? There are better qualified
POLICE: A total rethink is needed. people to do this and either prosecute or liaise with police to make arrests. Basically, why doesn’t this crisis trigger a total rethink about police work by the present government? In recent years, policing has become relatively inefficient with many officers spending up to 80 per cent of their time doing admin in police stations with an equally large civilian backup. There have been, admittedly, some good initiatives (giving officers mobile data terminals to streamline reporting and administration) but more needs to be done like: • Simplifying ‘red tape’ reporting re
quirements (a simple burglary prosecu tion requires 1,000 steps and 70 forms); • Reducing sickness absence, and ear ly retirement on health grounds; • Multiskilling police officers to in clude intelligence processing; • Time off in lieu rather than costly overtime payment for all but the most junior staff (common in industry); • Regrading staff: if ‘back office’ func tions are fulfilled by officers, pay and benefits should be adjusted accordingly (as in industry); • Merging police forces. MPs should also cut their ‘back office’ staff that cost us so much in ‘expenses.’ They simply need to work more efficient ly. Or doesn’t that apply, provided they can get their nap in the House? Or find ways to cause as much anti Brexit aggro as possible for the govern ment?

Neater Heater: More Choice, Greater Control N E AT E R H E AT E R h a v e come a long way since they started 10 years ago by introducing the residents of the Costa Blanca to slimline, efficient, Norwegian Convector Heaters. The whole enterprise started when two expats, R ichard and Tony, had been unsuccessfully looking for efficient and economical electric radiators for their homes. They then came across these heaters quite by chance while working in the villa of the UK importer. Realising they had found a great solution
to fill a gaping hole in the market, they started importing and selling them to the rest of us. The original Beha heaters were a great success and sales grew mainly by word of mouth as customers recommended them to their neighbours. S ince then, never resting in their desire to provide their customers with a greater variety of choice, Neater Heater have added the Norwegian Adax heaters, and the very popular Turkish made Vigo heaters to their catalogue. T he last year has been very exciting with Adax and Beha
both introducing a range of heaters that can be controlled remotely through Wi-Fi systems by use of t he i r downl oa da bl e Apps. Says Richard “Our customers vary in age and technical ability. We are seeing an increasing amount of people opting for the Neater Heaters with a Wi-Fi option. T hey get the same great heaters, but have much more control over them. However, a great many of our customers find technology baffling. They just want a good efficient heater that they can control simply with an on-off switch
and a thermostat. We are happy to say that all Neater Heaters can be controlled manually, including those with a WiFi option. “We at Neater Heater are offering our customers the same great service, whether through one of our many outlets, or through our online shop, but now they have more choice and, depending on the heater they choose, an option of much greater control.” For more information visit our website at neaterheater.es
HEATERS: A variety of models to choose from.

No trumpets please! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man MY friend came over for a few days and booked himself into one of the nicest spa hotels in the area. I dropped him off I live 15 minutes away and by the time I got home he had rung me to come and pick him up. He told me he went to his room, dropped his bag off and went down to the pool area to relax in the sun. As his bum hit the sun lounger some geezer started playing a trumpet. That was enough for him he was gone. Which brings me to my grump. Why would you have someone playing a trumpet round a swimming pool? I mean maybe along with the no bottles, no ball games, no lilos they should have added no bloody trumpets. I had another friend staying there too a few days later and I told him the story. He was staying in a room over the restau rant and when he woke up in morning he was launched into the day by the music coming from below. Here’s a tip you
don’t need very loud music all the time especially not at breakfast time. The same now applies to many budget airlines. The repetitive loud music as you are boarding is just ridiculous. It’s not a bit of gentle soothing, calm ing music but a blaring loop of their theme tune which goes on forever! Fun ny enough I had to use Ryanair this week and they didn’t have the noise pollution, but made up for it with a filthy aircraft. I was allowed to board as the last pas senger got off. I needed to go to the bathroom and it was disgusting. I’ll leave it there but obviously it had not been cleaned for some time. I’d love to know if there are any official rules about the cleanliness of aircraft before they board passengers. I know it’s cheap but surely there must be some rules about it. There’s no point in mentioning it to the airline, that’s for sure. The other thing is why do people applaud when the plane lands? That’s what it’s meant to do. I guess if we had been through mad turbu lence and the pilot had managed to keep it in the air for four hours it would be worth a round of applause. It’s not really necessary after a per fectly smooth hour and a half flight from Santiago to Malaga!

BARRY DUKE FOR years I’ve used a rickety old dining-room chair for computer work. It finally lost the will to live last week and disintegrated beneath me. It was a miracle that my dogs weren’t crushed or my coccyx fractured. So, after peering at a bewildering ar ray of office chairs on Carrefour’s web site, I set off to buy one. No way would I order one online because people need to try before they buy furniture if they’ve a gram of common sense. After plonking my bruised tailbone on about a dozen different chairs I settled for the Silla De Estudio Xtreme, a selfas sembly red and black jobbie that weighed far more than I imagined possi ble. But I had the foresight to take along an industrial strength trolley I once found abandoned in an alley. All was going swimmingly well until I tried to get a taxi home. After a 30 minute wait, I gave up and headed for a bus stop. When a bus arrived, the driver took one look at the enormous box and barked ‘NO!’ After I mustered a very un happy expression and explained the to tal absence of taxis, he relented. But the

way he scowled at me made it clear he was less than happy. In trying to manoeuvre the package along the narrow aisle, I got a goutaf flicted big toe trapped under the trolley, and the pain was horrendous. What I should have done, of course, was to or
der the chair online after I’d put it to the test. So there I was, sweating on an over heated bus and nursing a throbbing big toe when three cacophonous holiday makers, potted as a prickle of porcu pines on brake fluid, boarded the bus
and started bellowing ‘I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts.’ When I first settled in Spain, the phrase I heard most frequently was ‘los Ingleses no tienen respeto’ (‘the English have no respect’) uttered by indignant elderly Spanish folk whenever they spot

I heard it again on the bus when the raucous middleaged trio a male and two women got on board and attract ed disapproving glares and clucks of an noyance with their infantile antics. That’s when my patience snapped and I screamed ‘silencio!’ That did the trick. After popping two painkillers for the toe pain and and the headache induced by the three loudmouthed dimwits, I set about assembling the chair. Then, to my fury, I found that there were no wheels in the box for the base, no in structions, no bolts and no central pillar. The following day I got a taxi back to Carrefour with the chair. When I finally managed to find an assistant, my heart skipped a beat for I realised this hand some young fella lived in the same build ing as me. He was hugely helpful, mounted a re placement on my trolley after carefully checking all the bits in the box were pre sent, and sent me on my way with a cheery ‘hasta pronto.’ Service with a smile? In a hypermar ket in Spain? ‘Qué sorpresa!’ • My thanks to Californiabased Shell Fisher for the illustration.

CHELYS - Horological Sculpture NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England CHELYS derives from the Latin form of the origi nal ancient Greek for ‘tortoise’ which described a musical instrument made of its shell, its con vex form resembling that of this chronometer. According to fable Hermes found a tortoise near his mother’s house and hollowed out the shell to make the sound box of a sevenstring instrument, the first lyre of the ancient Greeks. Winch Design and Thomas Mercer have combined once again to design and create a unique chronometer joined this year by Mar mor Hotavlje stone cutters par excellence for the CHELYS chronometer. The CHELYS is a sculpture fusing the arts of horology , stone carving and yacht design. Winch Design create bespoke homes on land, in the air and of course at sea. The design studio of choice for individuals demanding the highest levels of design excellence. Thomas Mercer is a name forever associated with the marine chronometer, manufacturing since 1858 exclusive chronometers to accent the interiors of yachts and residences. In 1721 residents of the Slovenian village of Hotavlje discovered the riches hidden in their
mountain and carved their first stone. An drew Winch, founder and director of the eponymous studio said, “Yet again, it is a pleasure to be able to work closely with Thomas Mercer to bring to life another unique timepiece which sings with the spirit of the sea. The craftsmanship of both Thomas Mercer and Marmor Ho tavlje has rendered this outstanding and unique horological sculpture a triumph and showcases the time honoured skillsets of both these inspirational stu dios.” Revealed at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show on September 26, CHELYS is a unique celebra tion of horology, design and stone carving. The case was inspired by a mythological musical instrument, the movement is housed in a tube case made of extra white crystal offering an all round view of the inner workings, the elegant open work dial magnifies the intricacies of the manifestly complicated movement and its stone setting pairs per fectly the white onyx body.

As with every Thomas Mer cer mechanism the new calibre TM8004 enjoys the specifications of a marine chronometer in cluding a special spring detent escapement , al so known as the chronometer escapement, the spring detent is distinguished by its rare one impulse per oscillation resulting in its individual sound, one loud and one soft beat. The sophisticated lines of the CHELYS are carved from ivory onyx, a semiprecious white stone with an immaculate crystalline back ground with waves undulating through its structure. Rare and precious this stone has been valued since ancient times. Weighing in at 25 kilos and measuring 44 by 39 by 22 cms this sculpture has been hand crafted by the artisans of Marmor Hotavlje. Led by the Selak family, Marmor Hotavlje is one of the foremost stone cutting companies in the world. Alessandro Quintavalle, Managing Director of Thomas Mercer concludes, “It is tru ly a privilege to partner again with a world class name such as Winch Design on another cre ation embodying their ethos of beauty, unique ness and perfect proportion. “After the success of the incomparable NAU TILUS , CHELYS takes the concept of horological sculpture to the next level by relying on the world class masters of Marmor Hotavlje to ex plore the endless possibilities of stone.” Nick Horne, London, England

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter. You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish. Do not under-estimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.

It will be tempting to take a short cut but,believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire.

DEADLY WEAPON A RECENT Euro Weekly News piece report ed that distraction caused by mobile phones are responsible for an annual 390 deaths on Spanish roads. Not surprising, not when we’re living in Spain, which I believe has one of Europe’s highest proportion of smartphone users. I’m aware that people die on UK roads and elsewhere in the developed world be cause either they or someone else was paying more attention to their mobile than the road. But it’s time to agree that a mobile can turn into a deadly weapon once it’s inside a car or, worse, a lorry. Very often, though, in the small inland city where I live, you see a car pulled in at the kerb on a narrow road because the dri ver is talking on their mobile. So, what is the usual reaction? Blaring horns from the cars behind because some one doesn’t want to break the law. Talk about inconsistent. Irene Walken

As the placard of a girl in Kuala Lumpur read: ‘You will die of old age, I will die of climate change.’ To take aim at lifestyles is easy, but remember that those lifestyles are not put in place by the ‘z’ generation but by their parents and grandparents. The selfish Me Me Me society created by the powers that were of the eighties and nineties made it acceptable to have every gadget and gismo that ap peared, often with no way to pay for them. As the following generations grew up those new inventions became the norm and must haves to live. The fault

MAXIMUM working hours introduced this year in Spain are forcing employers to apply strict limits to the time staff are on duty. Companies that cannot implement the new laws are being given time to negotiate with employees before any sanctions are imposed. Businesses are now required to record staff start and finish times daily to make it clear what overtime people are working and breaks during the day which must not be more than nine hours. Registration systems must guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the working times register and records must be kept for four years and made available to trade unions and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate (LSSI) Workers’ pay is not affected by the rule, so the law shouldn’t cost businesses any more where they already reward staff for overtime. So far, the LSSI hasn’t announced a cut-off date when noncompliant employers will start to face fines of up to €6,250. There are no plans at present to follow up the ruling, so bosses are unlikely to have to worry unless employees raise the alarm over practices. It’s difficult to imagine how the regulations will be policed as there is no planned follow-up and there is no stipulated system of recording hours. Unless electronic recording is introduced across the board, which would involve businesses in additional expense - and could raise questions about employee privacy - then it’s unlikely the ruling will have any real value.

17 - 23 October 2019 THE Launch of World Perimenopause Day 2019 (last Thursday, October 11) calls for better education and awareness, as new research reveals early symptoms are wrongly mistaken for ageing, stress, anxiety and depression. In a study of 1,000 women in the UK, 70 per cent of par ticipants admitted to experi encing perimenopausal symp toms in their 30’s and 40’s, with 90 per cent failing to recognise the immediate link to their fluctuating hormones and instead attributing symp toms to ageing, stress, anxiety and depression. The findings revealed the link between symptoms and perimenopause taking on av erage 14 months for women to identify. The most common symptoms experienced includ ed period changes, sleeping problems, hot flushes, anxiety, weight gain, low mood and night sweats, with women typ ically experiencing a combina tion of five symptoms during the early stages. While period changes were reported as a common symp

Expert gynaecologist and menopause specialist, Anne Henderson, explains: “There is barely a part of the body oe strogen doesn’t effect. It af fects the central nervous sys
tem, the skeleton, the cardiac system, the bladder, skin, nails, hair, teeth everything is im pacted. And it is the symptoms related to these areas that women primarily come for ward with during the peri menopause.” The study also found that when the women first experi enced symptoms, a third of women either chose not to
take any action or decided to Google what they were feel ing, as opposed to visiting a GP or speaking to friends and family. Speaking on the effects of lack of information and aware ness, Anne Henderson ex plains “Some of the common est questions I get asked are, ‘am I going mad?’ and ‘is it just me?’ This is probably because very few women associate the profound psychological changes that happen at the menopause with the menopause itself.” Launched by Health & Her, an awardwinning website of fering free expert advice on perimenopause and menopause, World Peri menopause Day took place to raise awareness around the transitional period into menopause and the manage ment options available, while combating global stigma and a call for better education. Health & Her offers a first ofitskind approach to tackling female health changes, with holistic advice encompassing a range of management ap proaches as well as access to a digital symptom tool intended to help women access expert advice and products tailored to their needs. When daytoday life be comes challenging, it can be a huge relief for women to join the dots and understand the connection to their fluctuating hormones, so they can seek out management solutions that will work for them. World Perimenopause Day has been created to educate and inform women to help them take control of their health in a supported way. At healthandher.com, women can find free and trust ed expert advice on peri menopause and menopause, as well as tried and tested products designed to ease symptoms. For the month of October, 10 per cent of all sales will be donated to Wellbeing of Women a UK charity dedicat ed to improving the health of women by funding medical re search into reproductive and gynaecological health.

Retrain your appetite DECODING your ‘appetite pendulum’ can help you lose weight without the need to diet. This is according to psychologist Dr Helen McCarthy who believes we can retrain our appetites and to recognise how much our food actually needs in order to shed the ki los. The author told the Daily Mail that we have all been trained to eat at certain times of the day, rather than eating when we are hungry and stopping when we are full. She claims the ‘appetite pendulum’ starts at 0 when hunger is neutral, moves into minus when hungry and plus when we begin to eat. And Dr McCarthy advised eating should only begin when hunger gets to minus three definitely hungry stressing the im portance of stopping at plus three just full. The former NHS psychologist said many of us eat too much either because we’re enjoying the food and don’t want to stop, or we’re eating mindlessly. She encourages clients not to give up any foods they love and devise their own meal plans rather than be dictated by a diet. The weight loss psychologist, who is also training other professionals in this way of thinking, says hunger signs aren’t a bad thing, pointing out that ‘mild hunger in the hour or so before your next meal or snack is healthy.’ She went on to say, “when you never feel mild hunger, your body may have
been continuously digesting food, with no chance to stop and rest. Under standing and respecting mild hunger lets your gut work in the way that it evolved.” According to her research, “the hunger message to the brain is our body’s inbuilt natural way of let ting us know we’ve used up the energy from our last meal, and that we’re having to switch over to using our stored energy, ie fat, so the hunger signals are switched off. “We can go a whole day, or month or lifetime, without actually getting hungry and it’s one of the biggest reasons we put on weight.”
MILD HUNGER: Not a bad thing.

Why should I consider a chemical peel?
CHEMICAL PEEL: Get a new and more healthy look. YOU might be afraid it will damage your skin, or you might think you are too young for this procedure? How can something that sounds so intense be good for your skin? A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. It’s basically close to have a haircut... you need to cut the hair for it to look more healthy! We also need to help the skin one to three times a year to get rid of old cells, to get a new and more healthy look. There are three basic types of chemical peels and we call the treatment SKIN-NEW divided into S, M, L. The S - Superficial peel: It’s a mild acid and used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment will improve the appearance of mild skin discolouration and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands. The M - Medium peel is applied to penetrate the out and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discolouration. It also can be used to smooth rough skin and treat stretch marks. The L - is a deep peel. Depending on your skin type, and the results you want to achieve, a deep peel is usely supervised by a doctor. It is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of the skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. Patients will see a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. What can you notice during and after the peeling? During the application it is normal to feel a tingling or itching sensation that returns within a few minutes of having removed the peeling. After the treatment you will feel the skin slightly tight and red, but very smooth and soft. The best time to do peelings is in the autumn/winter, as sun exposure can be very damaging to the skin. At Derma Clinic Spain we always take our patients commands seriously, and we will treat your skin with the peeling most suitable for you. In October we have special prices including a home treatment kit for the SKIN-NEW treatments. For any questions, see below.

CMT disease awareness month SOME 25,000 people are thought to be living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease in the UK, making it the most common inherited neurological condition, although many people have not even heard of it. UKbased charity CMT UK, which provides support to those affected by the condition in the UK, is hoping to change that dur ing its October awareness month. CMT is a hereditary condition that damages the peripheral sensory and motor nerves. Be cause of the nerve damage, peo ple living with CMT may find that their muscles become slowly weaker over the years, particu larly in their hands and feet, arms and lower legs and the sense of feeling can become dull or numb in these areas. As there are over 100 diagnosed types of CMT, symptoms can vary hugely, although some other key points about CMT are that it can cause chronic pain and fatigue. Some
early symptoms could include difficulty walking because of foot drop, high arches, or abnormally flat feet; others will experience a weakness in the hand and fore arms; some children may experi ence a ‘clumsiness’ and fall over, and a difficulty with running and general agility. CEO of CMT UK, Simon Bull, says “if we could get people talk ing about CMT during the aware ness month and beyond that would be amazing. Even if we can help just 100 more people to be diagnosed with the condition, it would really help them to manage their symptoms. It would also mean that we could provide support to those already living with CMT, but did n’t know about our charity; and, by increasing awareness of CMT to health professionals, patients could get diagnosed quicker with faster access to any treatment or support.” Simon added: “If anyone would like to help us to spread the word about CMT further during October, search for our
CMT: Many people have not heard of the condition. posts using the hashtag #CMTawarenessmonth on Face book, Twitter and Instagram and feel free to share our details about the condition, together with help available to those that may be affected by CMT.” Simon added “Most of CMT UK’s trustees are living with CMT, so they know firsthand the type of support that is need ed for our members. For a small charity, it’s really active with lots of information available about the condition, managing it, and living well.” CMT UK has put together an awareness pack for those poten tially living with CMT, as well as a separate information pack for GPs who would like to find out more.

1935 was the first year that the driving test was compulsory and 246,000 candidates put themselves forward for it.
Mazda3 TCR unveiled MAZDA MOTORSPORTS announced this month the newest addition to its motorsports programme with the unveiling of the all-new Mazda3 TCR race car. The Mazda3 TCR will hit the race track as part of the 2020 IMSA Miche lin Pilot Challenge, beginning with the fourhour En durance Challenge that is part of the Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend of racing on January 26, 2020. By retaining the striking de sign of the 2019 Mazda3 hatch
back, the Mazda3 TCR features the latest iteration of the brand’s signa ture Kodo Soul of Motion design lan guage. Envisioned within the walls of Mazda Design America in Irvine, Cali fornia, designers spent countless hours ensuring the aerodynamics of the Mazda3 TCR are compli
ant with all TCR regulations, and flow seamlessly with the clean lines found on the Mazda3. “TCR represents a great opportuni ty for us to showcase the new Maz da3 and provide our customers an other avenue to race Mazda vehicles,” said Masahiro Moro, Chair man and CEO, Mazda North
American Operations. “Some of our most important successes in IMSA and SRO TC Americas have been thanks to dedicated customers who chose to race with Mazda, and we hope the next generation of Mazda racers see the same potential in the Mazda3 TCR.” “The Mazda3 features the out standing design and engineering that Mazda is known for, and because of that, it is a fantastic foundation for our new Mazda3 TCR,” said John Doonan, Director, Mazda Motor sports. “We NEW TOURING CAR: Mazda unveils Mazda3 TCR.
have looked forward to returning to the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge for several seasons, and everyone at Mazda is very excited that we will do just that in 2020. We are eagerly an ticipating success for the Mazda3 TCR in IMSA, SRO Americas and in TCR championships around the world.” The Mazda3 TCR will be powered by a turbocharged, fourcylinder en gine producing 350 horsepower and will use a paddleshifted sixspeed transmission. Developed and supported by Long Road Racing, the manufacturer of the Global Mazda MX5 Cup car, the Maz da3 TCR is homologated to compete in any of the 36 TCRsanctioned championships around the globe.

New infotainment system VOLVO CARS is fundamentally rethinking infotainment in the forthcoming fully electric Volvo XC40. Powered by Android, the new infotainment system offers customers unprecedented personalisation, improved levels of intuitiveness and new embedded Google technology and services. Volvo Car Group is the first com pany to team up with Google on in tegrating an infotainment system powered by Android, with the Google Assistant, Google Maps and the Google Play Store builtin. The two companies have been develop ment partners for the past several years. The new system offers full integra tion of Android Automotive OS, Google’s opensource Android plat form, with realtime updates to services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant and automotive apps created by the global developer community. The electric XC40 is also the first Vol vo that will receive software and oper ating system updates over the air, plac ing Volvo Cars at the forefront of automotive connected services.
VOLVO XC40: The fully electric model features new infotainment system (inset).
The fully electric XC40 will keep evolving and improving over time, rather than it being at its peak when it leaves the factory. “We are finally giving you the same experience in your car that you’re used to on your phone, but adapted for safe interaction while dri ving,” says Henrik Green, Chief Technol ogy Officer at Volvo Cars. “And by intro ducing overtheair updates for everything from maintenance to com pletely new features, the car can stay as
fresh as your other digital products, always with the latest and greatest features.” One of the best features of Android Automotive OS is that it is an Android operating system familiar to millions of developers, tai lored to run in the car. Technology and services created by Google and Volvo Cars developers are embedded in the car, while additional music and media apps optimised and adapted for cars will be available through the Google Play Store. The Google Assistant allows
customers to get things done using just their voice for in car functions such as controlling tem perature, setting a destination, playing their favourite music and podcasts on apps like Spotify, and keeping in touch for example by sending messages. This integration contributes to reduc ing driver distraction, helping drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The Google Assistant also allows you to interact with your smart home devices from your Volvo car. Google Maps will be able to provide
refreshed map and traffic data in real time, keeping drivers informed about upcoming traffic situations and proac tively suggesting alternative routes, as well as suggesting the nearest charging station en route. This same rich and fresh map data will be used to improve the capabilities of the XC40’s Advanced Driver Assis tance Systems (ADAS) by providing im portant information such as speed lim its and curves in the road to the car. Volvo Cars also continues to develop software and connected services, using its growing force of software engineers and its digital services platform Volvo On Call. For example, the new infotainment system will be fully integrated with Vol vo On Call, offering new features such as monitoring battery status and charg ing levels. Volvo On Call classics such as pre heating your car on a cold winter’s day, finding your car in a large parking lot, re mote locking and unlocking and car sharing via a digital key are also includ ed. The fully electric XC40 was first shown to the public yesterday (Wednesday, October 16).

Mercedes take championship IT was a terrible start for pole-sitter Vettel, who was immediately passed by Bottas. Wing damage occurred for Leclerc after a tussle with Ver-
stappen, who spun off the track. Leclerc dropped into third but was staying on the track despite reporting damage to his team. It was an incredible opening to
