CIRCUS ANIMAL BAN ALICANTE is planning on banning circus animals. Fairground rides which use live animals will also be outlawed as part of the new bylaws on animal welfare and protection, which could see fines of up to €18,000 imposed for animal abuse and cruelty. The new regulations are due to be approved at the next plenary session of the city council in November. This is not the first time the city has tried to ban animal attractions. A previous ban fell through when a draft law was never ratified. In 2016 Silvia Barquero of Spanish animal rights party, Pacma, said: “Councils are making a promise that can change depending on which party is ruling at the time and they are not turning this promise into laws in the municipal ordinance.” Now Alicante wants to do just that. Earlier this year the Valencian regional government passed a ban saying towns and cities that allowed circus animals could

The new regulations will also affect pet owners, with

fines of up to €300 for those who do not comply. The new ordinance regulates for the first time dog beaches and dog parks. Firstly, the number of dogs that can be taken to these areas by a single adult is reduced to two. In addition, parents may not send children under 16 alone to the beach with the dog. However, the duties are also accompanied by rights. Dogs are welcome on all beaches between November 1 and March 1, dog parks will have more trees planted to provide shade and drinking water will be made available. If pet owners repeatedly violate the rules then they could have their dog confiscated.

final figure raised was not available at the time of going to press. The association sent its thanks to Keith Oakes for suggesting and organising the event.

A tall tale THE owners of a marihuana plantation next to an infants school have been arrested after the plants grew so tall they could be seen over the fence. National Police found 250 plants at the Alicante house after a tip off. They were flowering and some had grown to three metres (nearly 10 feet) tall and could be seen from neighbouring buildings. The illegal plantation posed a ‘high danger’ to neighbouring buildings - including the school -

according to investigators. This was due to the large levels of fertiliser being stored, which in conjunction with the illegal electricity supply posed a considerable risk of fire. As well as the 250 plants growing in the garden, police found two rooms were being used to dry and store marihuana buds. Flick knives, machetes, and blank firing guns were seized, and three men and two women aged between 27 and 54 were arrested.

Murder suspect arrested POLICE have tracked down the main suspect in the case of an 81-year-old man who was killed in a botched robbery. The victim was found lifeless with obvious signs of violence in Alicante on June 29. The alleged perpetrator fled to Marseilles two days after the killing, but had since returned to Spain. Investigating officers retraced the final days of the victim, who was staying in a holiday home he had in the city. He was in the habit of going for walks in the neighbourhood and was known for stopping and chatting to passers-by. Police found witnesses who had seen him in the company of a young man who did not speak Spanish well. Together with other evidence, including fingerprints, police identified a 28-year-old Romanian as the main suspect. He had gone to Marseilles by bus two days after the killing. A general alert was put out for his arrest and Andalucian police finally found him and made an arrest in Granada. He has been remanded in custody under investigation for robber y with violence and homicide.

INNER CITY MIGRATION: A centuries-old tradition in Madrid.

FLOCK TO MADRID This incredible scene is an annual spectacle in Madrid as thousands of sheep are led past the city hall in October. THE festival celebrates the centuriesold tradition of seasonal livestock migration. The 601st anniversary of the Fiesta de la Trashumancia is marked in the last week of this month, and involves a journey from Casa de Campo to Cibeles. Conceived by the Association of Transhumance and Nature, it was designed to recognise and celebrate the tradition of seasonal livestock migration. Since then, hordes of sheep (and

sometimes bulls and horses) take over the Spanish capital once a year. 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.

Beat pregnant daughter

Murder suspect held

A 22-YEAR-OLD pregnant woman had to take refuge in a shop after she was beaten by her father. Witnesses alerted police and called for medical help while the Murcia city shop’s security guards overpowered and detained her attacker. Police say the woman was very upset and was vomiting when they arrived at the scene in Calle Hermanos Gomez, in the district of Santiago El Mayor. Medics attended the woman in situ and then transported her by ambulance to hospital, where she was given an in-depth examination to check that both she and her unborn baby were in no danger. The case is being investigated by the National Police and as it is about father and daughter, the matter is being treated as a case of domestic violence. No more information has been given about the condition of the woman or her unborn child.

POLICE have arrested the boyfriend of a woman who has been missing since Christmas. The man was detained in Cartagena on suspicion of killing Dolores S R. At the moment, according to National Police, the woman’s body has not been found. Dolores was 54 years old when she vanished. Her brother reported her missing and an investigation started. Police say the suspect - a 52-year-old Spaniard - voluntarily went to the police station to make a statement last Thursday. He was arrested the next day. He was then escorted back to his house by police officers, who conducted a search of the premises. Now the brother of the missing woman has asked for people to respect the presumption of innocence for the suspect, and to let the evidence speak for itself. He added that he doesn’t expect to ever see his sister again, and is convinced she is dead.

AMBITION: Elche wants to be a Green Capital.

The green, green city of Elche AS water gets scarcer a n d s c a rc e r, E l c h e wants E u ro p e to recognise that water management in the south can also be sustainable. And to this end, it has put in a bid to become a European Green Capital in the southern Mediterranean. The goal is set for 2030. “The project to convert Elche into a Green Capital has an added value, which is that of a city located in an arid place, with a permanent scarcity of water. The parameters in the fight against climate change set by Europe can be achieved by anyone

who proposes it,” said city mayor, Carlos González, The plan is more than simply about water. To be a Green City requires action in many areas. In order to meet the European criteria, the municipal government has drawn up a plan for mobility, sustainability and energy efficiency to connect the city’s districts. The plan is to convert to zero-emission vehicles; the centres of all urban centres will be pedestrianised ‘humanising their surroundings.’ An example is the historic centre, which is already 80 per cent pedestrianised, with the traffic-free area about to be extended. “It is about generating a friendly and smoke-free envi-

ronment under ecological and accessibility criteria,” said councillor for Sustainable Development, Urban Mobility, and Environment, Esther Díezno of Compromís. She added that work will begin to turn the vision into a reality in the first four months of 2020. The city council will put in more bicycle and bus lanes, and lay out new parks. It also wants municipal lighting to be powered 100 per cent from renewable energies. Existing trees will be replaced by others that are more adapted to the climate. Initial financing is in place thanks to a €30 million grant from the EU. So, Elche will soon start to become a cleaner and greener city.

Gambling protest MORE than 70 people have demonstrated against the ‘proliferation’ of betting shops, particularly near schools. They gathered outside an Alicante City gambling establishment demanding it be shut down immediately saying they are worried that the shops encourage youngsters to gamble. The protestors want the city council to enforce a plenary session resolution to ban the slot machine arcades from within a one-kilometre radius of schools. Platform Against the Proliferation of Bets in Alicante spokesman Alvaro Castaños said: “These businesses are making profits at the expense of people’s problems and generate a high degree of gambling and barely hinder access to minors.” He added that gambling addiction is ruining families and that these businesses increasingly operate in poor neighbourhoods. He claimed that this ‘scourge’ already affects more than 50 per cent of 17-year-olds and also a significant number of schoolchildren aged 13 and over. The most significant case recently reported has been the testimony of a mother in Alicante who said that a betting house had let her 14-year-old son enter. National Police recently held a day of action against such shops and found a total of 28 underage children in the establishments targeted.

Help to quit smoking UP to 10,000 people in Murcia - and thousands more across the Costa Blanca, could benefit from a health service decision to finance a ‘miracle’ stop-smoking medicine.

Now the local department of health says it is working on implementing the measure, which it said could help 10,000 Murcianos. Currently, any smoker can buy Champix in pharmacies, although its price is one of the reasons that puts people off. It can exceed €300 for the three months that the treatment lasts. The subsidised price has not been set yet. The drug works by blocking chemicals in the brain that trigger cravings, although smok-

Hospital kitchens’ Michelin makeover HOSPITAL food doesn’t always get the best reports. But patients at the Hospital Universitario Los Arcos del Mar Menor would have had nothing to complain about when they had food prepared by a Michelin starred chef.

The others were the Universitario General de Elche, Vinalopó (C Valenciana) and Universitario Severo Ochoa and Infanta Leonor (both in Madrid). All the tapas had one thing in common - they were created especially for the occasion by local Michelin starred chefs.

If not, how much will they cost? Who will pay, and how will it be collected? Who will maintain the infrastructure and what will any revenue be used for?

BREXIT EXTRA

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.

Prime Minister Johnson appeared slightly closer to getting a Brexit deal to put before Parliament at the special next Saturday sitting as he has made some concessions on the Northern Ireland ‘back stop’ as well as removing the concept of a veto from Ulster politicians in Stormont, although he wants to keep it as a future possibility.

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.

Maritime drugs bust A PLEASURE craft carrying cocaine from Brazil to Spain has been intercepted. Five people have been arrested for drugs trafficking after being stopped trying to bring more than half a ton of cocaine and other narcotic

substances into Spain. The drugs were stowed in secret compartments on the Dutch-owned vessel registered under the name Imagine. The operation involved the Guardia Civil, National Police

and the Tax Agency, in cooperation with the Netherlands Police, the Estonian Police and the Portuguese Judicial Police. The investigation began in Barcelona and followed the gang during 2018 through Valencia, Huelva, Granada and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The N etherlands-based gang were tracked for two years while they planned their operation. In May 2018, the gang set off from the port of Valencia aboard the vessel Imagine and began their journey to Rio de Janeiro and ItajaĂ­ in Brazil returning to the Portuguese Azores where they were intercepted at the request of Spain and the Netherlands. In July 2019 the coordinated international police operation was launched resulting in the arrest so far of five people of Estonian, British and Dutch nationality. As well as drugs, the police uncovered a firearm with the serial number erased, as well as cash.

BIG DIFFERENCE: Women earn 13.8 per cent less than men.

Wage gap between sexes THE hourly wage gap in the region of Murcia between men and women is 13.8 per cent. This is slightly higher than the national average (13.5 per cent), according to a report by the Economic and Social Council (ESC). In terms of annual pay the gap is even bigger at 24.8 per cent in the region, compared to the 22 per cent national average. As the report highlights, the financial cri-

sis not only slowed the reduction in the hourly gaps, but affected women’s annual wages more as they worked fewer hours. The study analysed the wage in two ways. Firstly, it took account of the difference that may have been caused by differences in education, experience, type of contract and type of company between men and women. Secondly it looked at discrimination as the reason. Most of the observed hourly wage gap is due to the latter.

Pollution plan ELCHE Council has pledged to take action after the most polluted streets in the city were revealed. A study by the University Miguel Hernandez detected that the triangle formed by Avenida de la Libertad, Pais Valenciano and Reina Victoria has the worst air quality in the city. This is a result of high traffic density and other factors, such as narrow streets and high buildings on both sides, which hinder the dispersion of emissions. Councillor Esther Díez called for “those policies in the matter of mobility that will take us to a greener, cleaner, healthier and more amiable municipality.” The council has said it will tackle the problem with a new urban mobility plan for early 2020.

He was finally forced out of the house by his mother who was brandishing a chair. Both mother and younger son were injured, although neither claimed any compensation.

Ordered to pay for medicine MURCIA’S health authorities have been ordered by a judge to supply medicine to a child who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. Carlos, aged eight, was first prescribed the drug Atalureno by doctors two years ago, but it is not included on the list of NHS supplied medicines, or even marketed in Spain. But specialists at the Neuropediatrics Service of the Virgen de Arrixaca Hospital recognised that Atalureno would help delay the boy’s condition worsening and improve his quality of life. Its supply then rested on Mur-

cian Health Service (SMS) approval - something it refused to do. Doctors had asked for a 48week course of treatment. Now the Superior Court of Murcia has annulled the SMS decision and recognises the right of the child to be provided medicine financed by the Social Security for the 48-week course. Doctors have now begun the initial assessments of the child to start treatment as soon as possible. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes progressive muscular weakness and atrophy.

Port protest SUSTAINABILITY campaigners are taking to the streets to demonstrate against development plans at Alicante Port. The Platform for a Sustainable Port has called the demonstration on Friday October 18 that will leave the Plaza de la Muntanyeta at 6pm. Demonstrators will be opposing plans for six macro deposits to be created by merchant XC Business for fuel. The campaign group includes several associations of residents of the city that fear there will be at least 15 deposits created over future years. They will gather at the offices of the Port Authority of Alicante who they complain have disregarded the

1,300 objections registered by groups, citizens and parties. Their objections focus on the scheme to build a facility for storage and distribution of more than 100,000 tons of petrol and diesel in the port of Alicante in a first phase with a possible future expansion to as much as 700,000 tons. The port of Alicante is located close to densely populated residential areas such as San Gabriel, Gran Vía Sur, Benalúa, Ensanches and the city’s Historical Centre. Opponents argue the site is unsuitable for dangerous or polluting activities that can pose a danger to the population or high risk of pollution for people and the

environment. They argue that the port is authorised only to carry out commercial activities, fishing and nautical sports according to official Ministry of Development plans. In 1995 an agreement was signed between the Central Government, the Alicante Port Authority, the Generalitat Valenciana, Alicante City Council and the hydrocarbons logistics company CLH to move the fuel facilities at the port away from the urban residential centres.

DANGER: Protesters fear the development will threaten residential and historic sites.

A scientific team led by a researcher of the IPHES (Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution) Josep Francesc Bisbal-Chinesta, has discovered a species of lizard never seen in Spain before.

The short legged creature found is the Ocellated Skink (Chalcides ocellatus). It is a species of reptile with a distribution that covers much of the Mediterranean basin, including all of North Africa, the Middle East, Anatolia, Cyprus, Crete, Aegean islands, Sicily and Sardinia, and beyond to Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The discovery was presented in a scientific article published in the September issue of the journal Amphibia-Reptilia.

WORKS: Rincon de Leon plant will be updated.

Solution for a smelly problem SOME €3.6 million is to be spent improving the San Gabriel Pumping Station and Wastewater Treatment Plant in Alicante. The aim is to prevent raw sewage being flooded into the Barranco de Oveja gulley during heavy storms, and put an end to bad smells the rest of the time. The City Council and the Valencian Regional Government have finally paid heed to local residents who have been complaining about the problems for several years. An agreement between the city and regional councils

provides for a new wastewater pumping station in San Gabriel and connects the rainwater sewage network to the system. In addition, the sewage treatment plant of Rincon de Leon will replace two sludge treatment tanks that are out of operation with new ones. The councillor of Environment, Manuel Villar, said: “In this way, it will be possible to put an end to the problems caused by the discharges that occur in episodes of torrential rain when the current pumping and retention systems for wastewater and rainwater overflow.

“At the same time, the sludge treatment capacity at the Rincón de León treatment plant will be doubled, improving the treatment of these sludges and improving the deodorisation systems, which will make it possible to reduce and minimise the odour problems that occur at times when the installation is most active.” Currently, the plant has a sludge treatment line with two digesters of 6,060 cubic metres of joint capacity dating from 1981 out of service and two others with a capacity of 9,820 cubic metres operative.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. 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 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.

Campaign detects child seat lawbreakers 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 acci-

dent 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.

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 â‚Ź372,000. 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.

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.

CHARITY WALK: An estimated €7,500 was raised for ASDICA by people taking part in a fundraising walk at Finca Galatzo on Sunday.

Charitable steps

THREE HUNDRED children and adults participated in a fundraising walk at Finca Galatzo in Calvia on Sunday. After completing the walk, the participants were invited to a barbecue and paella at Sa Vinya in Es Capdella where they were entertained by singers Izzy Newman and Brooke Judkins. Initial figures suggest that the walk, organised by the International Rotary Club, has raised more than €7,500 for ASDICA, a local association which supports young people with disabilities. The walk is an annual event organised by the club. President Ralf Jansen expressed his thanks to the Council for Sports and Tourism, the staff at Finca Galatzo and the IFOC guides, the town hall of Calvia, Foundation Handisport, Generali, the 41 Club and Sa Vinya Restaurant for their ongoing support. Congratulations to everyone who took part!

ALMERIA

THE University of Malaga and Velez-Malaga Council have donated €7,500 to local associations. Mayor, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, accompanied by Juan Antonio Garcia Galindo, vice-rector of Institutional Policy of the UMA, and Diego J Vera Jurado, director of the General Foundation of the UMA delivered three donations of around €2,500 each to local charities and organisations. The recipients were Relatives of Alzheimer Patients of La Axarquia (AFADAX) to the Association for the Protection of the Mentally Handicapped of Velez-Malaga (ASPROVELEZ) and the Association of the Handicapped of Velez-Malaga (AMIVEL). Mayor, Antonio Moreno Ferrer thanked the University of Malaga for its involvement and collaboration in the joint organisation of many cultural and educational projects in the city as well as praising the work of the organisations which provide such a sterling service across the region. “One of the objectives that we have is to attract Velez-Malaga training projects that improve the employability of our residents and continue to establish Velez-Malaga as a town of culture,” said the mayor. The courses, which took place across the summer, reinforced the town as a hub of social affairs, culture, music and sport throughout Axarquia.

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.

NEW YEAR’S EVE in Holland literally goes with a bang with so many fireworks being let off, but this year some cities are going to ban them. Police chiefs there believe that it will be almost impossible to control revellers.

LOCAL reports suggest that the manage­ ment of Zandvoort racetrack is considering scrapping three other events as a conces­ sion to environmental organisations in or­ der to ensure that next year’s Dutch F1 Grand Prix goes ahead in May.

Poor taste

WHEN you mix men with beer and women in tight costumes, it is often a recipe for sexual harassment. This year at the Munich Oktoberfest, waitresses have taken to wearing cycling shorts under their dresses and putting on Goth style lipstick.

SOCIAL media in Ghent went mad when a pho­ to of a police vehicle was circulated which bore a sticker on its rear making a rude comment about teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. It is believed it was the work of a ‘prankster.’

BUSINESS School ESADE is to create the Centre for Economic Policy and Political Economy in Madrid which will propose far­ reaching economic reforms for Spain and facilitate the general consensus necessary to make such reforms happen. The centre aims to identify what needs to be done to allow for the Spanish economy to flourish and spread wealth widely especially in what could be difficult times following Brex­ it, US tariffs and a potential de­ cline in British tourism.

World’s most sustainable hotel

THE Spanish company Meliá Hotels International has just been named the most sustainable hotel compa­ ny in the world in the annual Cor­ porate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) by the Zurich­based Robe­ coSAM AG Group. The CSA is an annual evaluation of the sustainability practices of more than 4,700 companies in all sectors, focused on economic, so­ cial and environmental criteria, as well as industry specific standards. Meliá participated in this evalua­ tion last year, obtaining the third best score in its sector and this year, the Spanish hotel group has

By John Smith set a new record, obtaining the highest score ever recorded of 83 points. Gabriel Escarrer, Vice President and CEO of the group said “we are a family company with strong values.” He added “I am very proud of my entire team, because together we have managed to establish a trans­ versal culture of commitment to the great global challenges, to respond to them with a long­term vision, re­ sponsibility and respect towards our environment, driven by the con­ viction that tourism is a powerful

engine of social and economic de­ velopment in the world.” The results of this evaluation con­ firm the company’s excellent per­ formance, its commitment to social and economic progress and its ma­ jor role in the fight against climate change in the hotel industry. In some areas it received a per­ fect 100 per cent score, so in theory couldn’t do better in Climate Strate­ gy, Report in Social Matters, CRM, Fiscal Strategy and also beat all competitors in Human Rights, Train­ ing, Supply Chain, Code of Ethics, Risk Management and Health and Safety.

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.

Tarnished jewellery THE Links of London jewellery and luxury gift brand was found­ ed in 1990 and spread across the UK and had stockists in Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Madrid and Tokyo as well as Canada and the USA. In 2006 it was sold to a Greek company, and they have now called in Administrators. The brand was a favourite with celebrities, but the 28 stand­ alone stores and seven conces­ sions in the UK was simply not generating sufficient cash flow to allow the business to continue as it was.

Thomas Cook reprieve THERE was a piece of good news for those staff made redundant following the collapse of the Thomas Cook holiday empire as an independent travel agent has taken over all of their high street shops. Hays Travel was formed in 1980 by John Hays and his wife Irene and expanded in the north of England before becoming a major name in high street travel agencies reaching a turnover last year

of £1 billion (€1.1 billion). They have now pur­ chased all 555 Thomas Cook shops for an undis­ closed amount and are looking to re­employ the 2,500 knowledgeable work force who used to man those stores. The couple believe there is still a strong market for low cost package tours and this acquisition will cement their place as the largest high street travel agent in the UK and generate significant income.

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.

Steel heart ACTIN G MIN ISTER Reyes Maroto has written to the European Commission asking that the EU takes urgent steps to review the situation concerning the importation of steel following Brexit as Spain wants to see the sector protected from cheap foreign steel.

Flying high IAG the group which owns Aer Lingus, BA, Iberia and Vueling airlines is to invest more than €24 billion in order to improve the efficiency of its fleet by replacing 142 aircraft over the next five years with planes using less fuel.

Fair prices ACCORDING to Union estimates, some 30,000 olive growers descended on Madrid last week and protested outside the Ministry of Agriculture about the low price of the oil internally and additions of tariffs by the USA which affects their livelihood.

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.

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

Well educated and knowing IN a recent column ‘Self­centred and spoiled,’ Mr Lee pilloried the climate change strike generation and he could have been wider off the mark but not by much. The children involved fully under­ stand that the price of the alleged must haves of today has been the planet, if one chooses to listen to any of them speak they show far more understand­ ing of the issues than the majority of their elders. 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

subject, they know the scientific data that the World’s scientific community are agreed on ­ sea levels up by 75mm in the last 25 years, temperatures up by half a de­ gree Celsius in the same period. As one of the protesters in Australia placard read ‘We are rising up, so the sea level won’t.’ Led by the formidable Greta Thun­ berg (read her speech to the UN cli­ mate meeting and decide for yourself if she is self­centred) millions of school age children worldwide are rising up against the indifference and incompe­ tence of their elders. The demonstrations were all over the globe and massive, the numbers in countries which are more obviously al­ ready being affected being enormous suggesting this is a campaign which is not going away soon If you think it’s not your problem fine, explain that to your children and grandchil­ dren in a few years’ time.

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.

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT

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.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no 'quick fix' this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. 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.

‘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.’ Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

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.

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY Saturday October 12

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not. Wouldn't it be easier to find some kind of compromise?

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people’s arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good? Go and trim the roses or sort out those rockery stones instead.

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 participants admit­ ted to experiencing peri­ menopausal symptoms 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 symp­ toms and perimenopause taking on average 14 months for women to iden­ tify. The most common symptoms experienced in­ cluded period changes, sleeping problems, hot flushes, anxiety, weight gain, low mood and night sweats, with women typi­ cally experiencing a combi­ nation of five symptoms during the early stages. While period changes were reported as a common symptom and is often wide­ ly regarded as the onset marker of menopause, find­ ings showed four in 10 women did not experience this as one of their first symptoms. Expert gynaecologist and menopause specialist, Anne Henderson, explains: “There

with during the peri­ menopause.” The study also found that when the women first expe­ rienced symptoms, a third of women either chose not to take any action or decid­ ed to Google what they were feeling, as opposed to visiting a GP or speaking to

friends and family. Speaking on the effects of lack of information and awareness, Anne Hender­ son explains “Some of the commonest 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 web­ site offering free expert ad­ vice on perimenopause and menopause, World Peri­ menopause Day took place

to raise awareness around the transitional period into menopause and the man­ agement options available, while combating global stig­ ma and a call for better ed­ ucation.

When day­to­day life be­ comes challenging, it can be a huge relief for women to join the dots and understand the con­ nection to their fluctuat­ ing hormones, so they can seek out manage­ ment solutions that will work for them.

CMT disease awareness month SOME 25,000 people are thought to be living with Charcot-MarieTooth (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 pro­ vides support to those affected by the con­ dition in the UK, is hoping to change that during its October awareness month. CMT is a hereditary condition that dam­ ages the peripheral sensory and motor nerves. Because of the nerve damage, peo­ ple living with CMT may find that their muscles become slowly weaker over the years, particularly in their hands and feet, arms and lower legs and the sense of feel­ ing can become dull or numb in these ar­ eas. As there are over 100 diagnosed types of CMT, symptoms can vary hugely, al­ though some other key points about CMT are that it can cause chronic pain and fa­ tigue. 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 forearms; some children may experience 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 talking about CMT during the awareness month and beyond that

CMT: Many people have not heard of the condition. 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 pro­ vide support to those already living with CMT, but didn’t know about our charity; and, by increasing awareness of CMT to health professionals, patients could get di­ agnosed quicker with faster access to any treatment or support.” Simon added: “If anyone would like to help us to spread the word about CMT fur­ ther during October, search for our posts using the hashtag #CMTawarenessmonth on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and

feel free to share our details about the con­ dition, 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 avail­ able about the condition, managing it, and living well.” CMT UK has put together an awareness pack for those potentially living with CMT, as well as a separate information pack for GPs who would like to find out more.

Neck scans could predict Alzheimer’s disease A BRITISH study of more than 3,000 people has found that a five-minute scan could predict dementia a decade before symptoms appear. Researchers at University College London claims that measuring somebody’s pulse from their neck can predict damage in the brain which causes problems with memory and thinking skills in old age. Data suggests those with the most intense pulse in this area were around 50 per cent more likely to suffer rapid cognitive decline over the following 10 years. The pulse of 3,191 people with an average age of 61 was measured using one of the large carotid arteries which sup­ ply blood to the head and neck. An ultrasound recorded the sound waves that bounce off blood vessels. Over the next 15 years the participants were monitored to keep an eye on their memory and problem­ solving skills. The quarter of participants with the highest intensity pulse at the start of the study were around 50 per cent more likely to have accelerated cognitive decline. This meant falling within the 15 per cent of people with the most rapid drop in thinking abilities. If larger studies of more people are carried out, the neck scan could become a routine test which doctors give mid­ dle­aged people at risk of dementia.

DECODING your ‘appetite pendulum’ can help you lose weight - without the need to diet. This is according to psycholo­ gist Dr Helen McCarthy who be­ lieves we can retrain our ap­ petites and to recognise how much our food actually needs in order to shed the kilos. 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 pen­ dulum’ starts at 0 when hunger is neutral, moves into minus when hungry and plus when we begin to eat. And Dr McCarthy advised eat­ ing should only begin when hunger gets to minus three ­ definitely hungry ­ stressing the importance of stopping at plus three ­ just full. The former NHS psychologist said many of us eat too much ei­ ther 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,

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Retrain your appetite who is also training other pro­ fessionals 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 continu­ ously 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 in­ built 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 rea­ sons we put on weight.”

MILD HUNGER: Not a bad thing.

Well groomed men A G O O D s k i n c a re re g i m e i s n o t e x c l u sive to women, men need one too. Only cleansing and moisturising is not enough to keep male skin healthy and clean. Men tend to have oilier and thicker skin, so it’s advisable to choose a good facial cleanser that works on all kinds of skin. Cleansing sanitises and eliminates dead skin cells without drying. It also helps to avoid whiteheads, blackheads and acne. Toning balances and tightens. Moisturising prevents cracks and dry and dull skin, and sunscreen is a must, with a minimum SPF of 30. Exfoliation is crucial to eliminate dead skin cells from accumulating and causing bacterial infection. Used once a week, a gentle but granulated face scrub will smoothen the skin, eradicate dullness and soften hair follicles for a smoother shave. The skin around the eyes lacks in sweat and oil glands, making it highly susceptible to under­eye dehydration. This shows itself as fine lines and wrinkles. Dabbing a little hydrating eye cream each morning and before bed can help prevent this. A good lip balm with a high SPF is a must to help keep them soft, supple and protected from the sun. Clean beards are more likely to be soft beards. Beauty experts advise using face wash or shampoo when cleansing facial hair, taking care not to over shampoo as this can strip the hair of natural oils. Try applying beard oil with fragrance after wash­ ing.

The 23­year­old revealed in April she would be taking on the role of the princess on tour with Prince Charles, played by Josh O’Connor, on their first trip with Prince William in 1983. Corrin makes her debut in the series depict­ ing the royal couple in Sydney, although the

series is being filmed in Spain. Filming began at the start of this month where Corrin is transformed into the young Princess Di­ ana meeting crowds at Sydney Opera House. Season 3 of the hit series is due to be screened in a month’s time and the scenes filmed last week are not due to be aired until the fourth series. Corrin appears to mimic the young Diana’s shyness ­ hiding her mouth behind her hands, biting her nails and holding her head down ­ to convey the character of the then 22­year­old princess.

PROPERTY

Soaring property prices IBIZA TOWN has been revealed as the city with the highest property prices in Spain. For 12 years, San Sebastian in Spain’s northern Basque Country has been crowned most pricey, but the capital of the Balearic Island of Ibiza has now taken the title with prices reaching €3,709 per sqm in the second quarter of the year. The statistics have been released by the Public Works Ministry, and politicians and real estate experts agree that tourism is the main rea­ son for the rise in the cost of prop­ erty. Ibiza Town had the 45th most expensive houses in the early 2000s during the property boom. By the second quarter of 2009, af­ ter the property bubble burst, the city had jumped to 36th position. In the last five years alone, the value of property on the island has reportedly risen by 56.6 per cent.

IBIZA TOWN: Highest property prices in Spain.

Although the data from the Pub­ lic Works Ministry is based on the assessment value of a property, tourist apartments are singled out as being the main cause

for the rise in prices. Housing councillor for United Podemos, Aitor Morras, last week questioned where the 400,000 people who arrive in August stay if

there are only 50,000 registered residents and 150,000 tourist places. “To homes that are being used for tourism,” he pointed out.

But while political parties agree there needs to be more inspections to clamp down on illegal tourist apartments ­– they are banned from all residential buildings ­ it is apparently hard to get a consensus on potential solutions. Jose Vicente Marí of the PP be­ lieves that a new zoning plan (PGOU) needs to be approved as soon as possible to allow new homes to be built. But the current city council does not. Morrás, says that, according to the land registry, the city has 23,715 properties for 50,000 inhab­ itants. “There are plenty of properties but we suspect that too many are being used for tourists and we have to discover which,” he ex­ plains, adding that he would like to see a door­to­door census com­ piled as the macro data is proving “useless.”

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. More information about the Mazda3 TCR is available at MazdaMotorsports.com and LongRoadRacing.com.

New infotainment system nology and services. Volvo Car Group is the first company to team up with Google on integrating an info­ tainment system powered by Android, with the Google Assistant, Google Maps and the Google Play Store built­in. The two companies have been development part­ ners for the past several years. The new system offers full integration of Android Auto­ motive OS, Google’s open­ source Android platform, 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 Volvo that will receive soft­ ware and operating system up­ dates over the air, placing Volvo Cars at the forefront of auto­ motive connected services. 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

VOLVO XC40: The fully electric model features new infotainment system (inset). you the same experience in your car that you’re used to on your phone, but adapted for safe interaction while driving,” says Henrik Green, Chief Tech­ nology Officer at Volvo Cars. “And by introducing over­the­ air updates for everything from maintenance to completely 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 fa­

miliar to millions of developers, tailored to run in the car. Tech­ nology and services created by Google and Volvo Cars develop­ ers are embedded in the car, while additional music and me­ dia apps optimised and adapt­ ed for cars will be available through the Google Play Store. The Google Assistant allows customers to get things done using just their voice for in­car functions such as controlling temperature, setting a destina­ tion, playing their favourite mu­ sic and podcasts on apps like

Spotify, and keeping in touch for example by sending mes­ sages. This integration contributes to reducing driver distraction, helping drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The Google Assis­ tant also allows you to interact with your smart­home devices from your Volvo car. Google Maps will be able to provide refreshed map and traffic data in real time, keeping drivers informed about upcom­ ing 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 Assistance Systems (ADAS) by providing important information such as speed limits and curves in the road to the car. Volvo Cars also continues to develop software and con­ nected services, using its grow­ ing force of software engineers and its digital services platform Volvo On Call. For example, the new info­ tainment system will be fully in­ tegrated with Volvo On Call, of­ fering new features such as monitoring battery status and charging levels. Volvo On Call classics such as pre­heating your car on a cold winter’s day, finding your car in a large parking lot, remote locking and unlocking and car sharing via a digital key are also included. The fully electric XC40 was first shown to the public yester­ day (Wednesday, October 16).

IT was a terrible start for pole-sitter Vettel, who was immediately passed by Bottas. Wing damage occurred for Leclerc after a tussle with Verstappen, who spun off the track. Leclerc dropped into third but was staying on the track despite reporting damage to his team. It was an incredi­ ble opening to the race. Leclerc was being encour­ aged to stay on and see how he goes. Bottas kept his lead from Vettel, Leclerc and Hamilton. Hamilton was complaining of his vision being affected by the wing damage of Leclerc. The champ couldn’t believe the Ferrari driver wasn’t ordered off the track. Leclerc went off to the pits eventually which pro­ moted Sainz to fourth. There was no investigation into the coming together between Verstappen and Leclerc, much to the former’s ranting on the radio. The two Mercedes were clocking the quickest laps with Vettel in between them. Leclerc was up to

The match was stopped on 27 minutes because of racist abuse. The referee was spo­ ken to by an official on the touchline. He then spoke to Harry Kane. There followed an an­ nouncement over the tan­ noy, which in itself was booed. Forty­two minutes into the first half Gareth Southgate

The referee went to the touchline to talk to the fourth official and the Eng­ land manager and the match was stopped for a second time. A number of the home fans were ejected from the stadium.

However, England defied the vile racism and answered with a 0­6 victory. The presi­ dent of Bulgaria’s football as­ sociation, Borislav Mihaylov, has since handed in his resig­ nation. England’s win fol­ lowed a lacklustre perfor­ mance on Friday against the Czech Republic who won 2­1.

collision with Leclerc. Twenty­two laps in Hamil­ ton went in the pits, his tyres were deteriorating rapidly.

Ten laps later saw the top seven drivers all on the medium tyres. Hamilton was reporting that his tyres were still good. Bottas was 13.3 secs out in front, with Vettel 20 secs back in third after yet another pit stop. Bottas headed into the pits on lap 37. It was nice work by the team and he resurfaced back on track still in front of Vettel. Bottas was just under 10 secs behind Hamilton after the pit stop. “Tell me what I need to do to win this race,” Hamilton asked his team over the ra­ dio. Beat your teammate,

was the reply with 15 laps to go. Mercedes needed to outscore Ferrari by 14 points to secure another construc­ tors’ championship and as things stood they were on track. Leclerc talked to his team, saying he didn’t want to pit as Hamilton looked to finish the race on soft tyres. Vettel was on the mediums and Bottas was leading by 10.5 secs. In the 45th lap Hamilton now owned the fastest lap of the race and was closing on Vettel with a 1­2 Mercedes finish in his sights and a con­ structors’ championship for his team Mercedes. Hamilton though just couldn’t get past despite getting less than a second behind as his tyres were shot to bits. “Oh, oh, oh yeees!,” Bot­ tas said down the radio to his team as he met the che­ quered flag. Mercedes won their sixth consecutive constructors’ championship. Ferrari owned qualifying, but it was all Mercedes when it was showtime!
