TRAFFICKING
THIRTEEN women have been rescued in Malaga during a joint investigation in Spain, Italy and Romania in which 16 people have been arrested from an organisation that lured their victims through the socalled ‘lover boy’ method, deceiving them with false relationships. The women were seduced by deception, emotional blackmail and coercion, taking advantage of their needy situation or vulnerability and, in many cases, making them think that they could no longer live without their captors. The criminal network involved achieved a profit of more than €5 million, as reported on Monday by the Ministry of Interior in a statement. Once captured, the women were transferred to different destinations in the EU, such as Spain, the UK, Germany and France

Sacrifice zero
Help the aged CREDIT: Torremolinos Council
TORREMOLINOS has moved one step closer to completely eradicating euthanising animals which have been intercepted by their animal collection service. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, February 11, Antonio Ruiz, the councillor for the Environment, revealed that out of 133 dogs, only three healthy canines were euthanised and that no cats were killed. The data reflects the work of the animal collection service throughout 2019 where a total of 146 reports were made, 71 originating from the Department of Environment, 20 from residents and 55 from the Local Police. This is the first time that Torremolinos Council has made this information available in a bid to ensure that there is complete transparency with residents. The Council has made concerted efforts over the last year to rehome dogs, launching the #CuidayAdopta campaign that centres upon the

Ruiz stressed that an animal cannot be kept in the municipal facilities indefinitely, since this creates stress for the animal, a cost to the Council, and most of all, is not where the animal should live.

He also noted that feral cats are not able to be adopted due to their ‘behaviour,’ but must be neutered, with the Council’s veterinarian performing 40 operations last year. Through this initiative, stray cats are collected, spayed and made available for re-introduction in areas where they are authorised to be.

Shots fired A DRAMATIC police chase stunned residents in Marbella as police fired warning shots into the air when three men made a run for it after crashing their car head-on into another vehicle. A unit from the Local Police had ordered the car to stop during a routine traffic patrol, however the driver disobeyed, sparking a chase through the streets of Nueva Andalucia on the evening of Tuesday, February 11. Driving at great speed, the car then lost complete control and ended up colliding head-on with another car, leaving a woman injured at the scene, whilst the three men fled on foot. It was then that warning shots were fired by a policeman, causing one of the suspects to stop and be put in handcuffs. The other two men were later found hiding out in a nearby building. Police had suspected that the men were trafficking drugs, however upon a search of their vehicle, only 65 bags of sugar were found in addition to a haul of gun equipment. No civilians were injured during the police chase and the men have been remanded in custody.

First to find water from the irrigation of gardens, second to search for food in rubbish containers, and finally because hunting the species was once strictly prohibited.

A 65-YEAR-OLD woman has been killed and a man has been seriously injured in a car crash on the MA 5104 in Malaga after their vehicle plummeted some 200m down a ravine. As reported by the Andalucia 112 Emergency Services, the fatal incident took place on Monday afternoon (February 10) when the Belgian national lost control of their Toyota Aygo rental car whist driving through the rural road which connects Archez with Competa. Units from the Guardia Civil, Fire Brigade and an ambulance were deployed
to the scene of the accident, mounting a search and rescue operation. This was one of great complexity due to the car landing at the bottom of the riverbed and the area’s steep terrain. Firefighters were able to cut out the two occupants, however the woman who was driving the car was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband was injured and transferred to the Axarquia Regional Hospital where he is now fighting for his life. An investigation has now been launched to determine the exact cause.

A COURT in Marbella has opened proceedings after eight cases of dog poisoning were reported in the district of Nueva Andalucia.

Connections Luxury is also a leader for luxury tourism worldwide that is organised by Turismo Costa del Sol, Malaga City Council and Turismo Andaluz. There will also be an exclusive marketing campaign launched for the Elite segment in The Spear’s 500 Travel Guide and Luxe Magazine. Luxury tourism has huge potential for the Costa del Sol, generating more than half a million annual visitors where their expenditure exceeds €600 per day in a travel budget that ranges between €3,000 and €50,000.

ONE FATALITY: Signs of warning in neighbourhood.
Great balls of fire
EARLY on Tuesday morning if you were lucky enough to be looking at the sky, you may have spotted a bright fireball crossing Malaga Province. At 1.58am SMART project detectors detected a fiery mass that crossed the sky of Sevilla, Malaga and Cadiz. The event has been analysed by the researcher responsible for the SMART Project, the astrophysicist José María Madiedo, of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucia who has determined that the rock, which came from an asteroid, entered the atmosphere at about 145,000 km / h. The collision with the atmosphere at this enormous speed caused the rock to become incandescent, thus generating a fireball that began at an altitude of about 109 kilometres on the east of the province of Sevilla, almost on the vertical of the town of Martín de la Jara. From there it advanced in a southwest direction and crossed the western part of the province of Malaga and the Sierra de Cadiz. The total length travelled in the atmosphere by this rock was about 115 kilometres.

Walk this way OVER the last few weeks, the Local Police of Coin have been painting pedestrian crossings around the municipality in an initiative to promote diversity. In collaboration with the Department of Functional Diversity, Education and Children, Belén González, the councillor for Diversity, explained that the intention of the new pictogram markings is to “give a clear message that overcomes the barriers of language, especially for minors who cross these roads every day.” Reading ‘stop, look, stop, cross,’ the new look crossings were first painted outside of Huertas Viejas school and the Ciudad de Coin Institute. After the move was praised by countless residents, the pictograms were adorned outside of all educational centres in Coin, culminating at the Los Montecillos Institute this week. Oscar Nogueroles, the head of the Local Police, explained that the initiative serves to be inclusive while reminding citizens to pay special attention to pedestrian crossings adjacent to educational centres.

Generally those who are considered foreigners need to be able to prove that they have played a certain number of competitive matches for the team transferring them in the previous two years, depending upon the country and its FIFA ranking. Youngsters who will have to be at 18 (as opposed to the current 16) would be unlikely to be granted work permits as only a select number will have played for their local teams for the requisite number of years. At the moment, any EU player may enter the UK even if they have a conviction, but this could mean that players of the calibre of Lionel Messi could be ineligible to be transferred to a UK club, or in fact even be allowed to travel to the UK to take part in Champions League matches.

An insight into the making of Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun AS many readers will be aware, Channel 5 is airing a new series of Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun every Thursday and this run looks at life on the Costa del Sol. A recent episode focused on Michelle and Tony Johnstone who run Ace of Shades which supplies a whole range of different items including glass curtains, shutters, shades and much more. As regular advertisers with Euro Weekly News for over 10 years it made sense to speak to Michelle (Tony was out working) to find out about their experience and how they became involved.

Michelle admitted that after four weeks of filming (not of course every day) much of which was out of sequence, she was worried that as they had no control over the finished item and that once the piece was edited it might not be all that they had hoped for. Not having seen the finished programme until it was aired, the pair of them with the third member of the family, rescue pet dog Lolly who appears in many scenes, sat with baited breath but they were delighted with the result.

Although she hasn’t been asked for any autographs as yet, Michelle has been recognised as she has been out and about in Riviera where they live and the business has benefited with two or three new customers contacting them following the show. They both loved the experience and even enjoyed the fact that the crew came back in November to tie up loose ends and film continuity shots where they had to wear the same clothes as in the summer. Watch this space to see whether they take part in a follow up series which they would be more than happy to do as the entire crew were so nice and made their first appearance before a camera a pleasure rather than a chore.

IN AGREEMENT: Two students have embarked on internships at nursery schools in Estepona.
Important education ESTEPONA City Council and Glasgow University have signed an agreement which will see internships being held at nursery schools in the municipality. Estefanía Liñán, the councillor for Personnel and Resource Management at the City Council, explained that with this agreement, two students from the Faculty of Education at the Scottish university will be placed in unpaid positions at Es-
tepona’s educational centres. During their internships, the students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge acquired in their childhood education degree and observe the way in which nursery schools operate under the observation of class teachers. The initiative is aimed at forming an important part of the students’ higher education serving as an introduction into a career in child education. The costs incurred for travel, accommodation and expenses will also be covered by the two individuals embarking on the inter nship which commenced this week. On behalf of the City Council, Mayor José M a r í a G a rc í a U r b a n o thanked the interest shown by both students and the collaboration of the University of Glasgow.

Height of innovation THE Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) presented 40 technologies to detect and treat diseases at the Transfiere Forum in Malaga. Hosted earlier this week at the Palace of Fairs and Congresses, the two-day event is renowned across Europe, bringing together multispectral professionals to share knowledge and ideas. Among the innovations presented was an antibody that detects the percentage of an Alzheimer’s protein which improves magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to a therapeutic tool to treat chronic fibrosis and a test that detects infections caused by a pathogen in pneumonia and cystic fibrosis. In this year’s edition, the CSIC also showcased six technology-based companies developed by researchers at the institution, of which four are already fully operational. This included ‘DMeasure’ who offers pioneering solutions in the fight against air pollution in Spain. Ángela Ribeiro, the vice president of Knowledge Transfer at the CSIC praised the event, stating that the forum “is an important showcase for technologies that arise from the research of excellence developed at the CSIC.” Transfiere is a unique annual event that boosts innovation between research groups and companies, and contributes to improving competitiveness in the sector at the height of innovation, research and knowledge.

Spanish mayor speaks THE mayor of San Roque, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, has spoken openly about his fears for the local economy following Brexit based on a recent report produced by the Junta de Andalucia. There already appears to be a drop in local exports into Gibraltar and the reduction in the value of the pound following the Brexit result has led to a drop in the buying power of Spanish nationals working on the Rock and being paid in sterling. San Roque and it’s ‘suburbs’ of Alcaidesa and Sotogrande have a very significant percentage of individuals who are resident in Spain but working across the border, many in well-paid jobs. The mayor has asked the Spanish gov-
ernment to consider financial assistance to the Campo de Gibraltar and for approval of 111 different budgetary points which would assist the area. In addition, he fully supports the request of the Chamber of Commerce of the Campo de Gibraltar, which has claimed that the entire region, or at least the town of La Linea de la Concepcion, should be granted a special tax regime to attract new business. If such action is taken, he believes that companies, who might leave Gibraltar for more attractive EU destinations such as Malta, could instead move into the Campo de Gibraltar and thus enliven the economy.
Given seal of approval THE Gloria Fuertes Infant School in Las Lagunas is officially the first school in Spain to receive an Allergy Protection authentication. Certified by the ATX Association and certified by Laztan specialists in food safety, allergies and celiac disease, the seal guarantees the quality and safety of the school. The certificate is intended to endorse, with training and rigorous audits, establishments whose offer suits the needs of indivduals with allergies.

Donating blood 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, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person).

strived to obtain the certification, stating it was “a proud day for our municipality.” González added that the distinction shows that the nursery school is providing excellence in their service through a team that gives its best every single day. Before obtaining the authentication, the
school organised workshops for parents and students where several different menus were created to cater to all types of allergies and intolerances. Alicia Castillo, the education centre’s director, explained the process required work, and the school will now offer 11 different daily menus.
After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross.

Benalmádena Walking to school ONE important ongoing project with schoolchildren in Benalmadena has been the Safe School Roads programme which is now to be extended. The concept is very simple, many children are recognised as being obese and in some cases unhealthy or unfit and part of the problem is that parents often bring them to school in cars. To some extent it is understandable as they don’t necessarily consider it safe for children, especially young ones, to be sent off by themselves and in today’s busy world it is often quicker to take them by car. The other downside to
SIMPLE CONCEPT: Promoting Safe School Roads. this is that vehicles cause pollution and congestion and accidents do happen when there are large numbers of cars descending on one place with double parking and the associated risks. What the council wants to do is to educate children on road safety skills and create special routes which children can use safely with parents initially accompany-
ing the children as they walk and once they are confident, allow them to walk with their friends. This should give the children a feeling of being trusted and therefore becoming more independent whilst being able to spend more time socialising with their friends. The added bonus will be that exercise of this type should make them fitter and less overweight.

It has recently welcomed students studying for degrees in tourism at the Malaga based IES Ben Gabirol college and they were invited to visit the local tourist office and discuss matters of interest. Alongside the students were four school teachers from Poland who wanted to find out more about Benalmadena as a potential town for their students to visit as part of the European Erasmus programme.

Major new facility approved A SPECIAL council meeting saw almost unanimous approval (with only Vox councillors voting against) for the private investment of some €14 million to produce a new commercial complex Marymar Plaza by the beach at Los Melilleros de Benalmadena in Arroyo de la Miel. Prior to the construction of this new facility, Jardín de las Cigarreras, the company undertaking the project will have to demolish the current building (which may not have had proper planning permission) and construct the new one to plans which have been reviewed and found acceptable. Under the regulations concerning ICIO (construction) tax, it is within the council’s power to declare the planned construction as one of special interest or municipal importance with certain tax advantages to the builders and this has also been agreed. According to Benalmadena mayor Victor Navas there are many benefits in approving this work which include the return of up to 2,000 square metres to the beach, a far more attractive development than currently exists and the construction of 210 new parking spaces which will help to re-

FOR many years, unless picked up by a voluntary charity group, stray or abandoned dogs and cats could look forward to little hope of a new home as a number of councils had a policy of destroying them rather than keeping them alive. Now things have changed dramatically and the Fuengirola Council has announced that during 2019 not a single stray cat had been destroyed and it had instead spent time and effort in sterilising strays in an effort to ensure that they didn’t reproduce. The highlight is the dog adoption programme which has seen a 25 per cent increase in the rehoming of animals found in the streets thanks to a policy of ensuring that the initial cost of adoption is negligible.

TRAINING STAFF: Firefighters attending their course. whilst other members of staff call 112 to get professionals on site as quickly as possible. One attendee of the course explained that although the actual procedure was quite simple and intuitive, it was important to be properly trained in
the equipment’s use. The other course which was aimed at firefighters was organised by the Forem Aguas de la Mancomunidad Centre of the Western Costa del Sol and is intended to improve or reinforce their knowledge on the principles and
techniques of ventilation in order to release toxic gases over a period of days. There are many new technologies involved and it is imperative that those on the frontline should be aware of the best way of using all equipment safely and effectively. Ten firefighters from Mijas joined other professionals from Benahavis, Benalmadena, Casares, Estepona, Fuengirola, Istan, Manilva, Marbella, Ojen and Torremolinos to study the next generation equipment and to discuss their own experiences. Special attention was given to the tactics of dealing with ventilation problems in a range of sites from homes to industrial buildings as well as confined spaces.

Africa, the sea, Europe THE Artists in Residence collective want to highlight the reality of immigration through 17 works created by 14 different, mainly German artists, who live in Mijas and the ‘Africa, the sea, Europe’ exhibition is open until March 2 in the Casa Museum. The purpose of the event is to highlight the reality of the problems of refugees and their constant attempts, despite the danger, to travel to Europe with many landing on the coast of Spain. “In 2018, 65,000 refugees arrived in Andalucia in boats,” said Wolfgang Riedemaan, who opened the show with Arancha López, councillor for Foreigners and the German Consul in Andalucia, Arnulf Braun. Herr Braun commented “I think we have to go to Africa to start solving things and I think we have to stop those criminal organisations that do their business with the world’s poorest.”

CCTV encourages tourism ALTHOUGH one normally considers that CCTV is installed in order to allow law enforcement officers or private companies to keep an eye on what is going on, it is also very useful for pro-
moting tourism. For this reason, the Marbella Council has approved the expenditure of â‚Ź15,000 to allow for the erection of three cameras in San Pedro Alcantara which will
screen images live through the municipal website. The first two cameras will be located on Calle MarquĂŠs del Duero and the Boulevard in a position which will allow potential visitors to get an idea of what is going on in the town in these two important entertainment areas. The third camera will be placed on the beach showing the sea and it is hoped that it will attract surfers if they see the correct state of the water on a real time basis. There is already another camera which has been placed at the Marbella Marina which is gaining interest and those involved in promoting tourism to the city will be able to give links to their clients to allow them to see what is happening in Marbella and San Pedro.

OVERGROWN TREES: Work has already started on the pruning.
Extensive pruning WORK has started on pruning 1,350 palm and other trees in the San Pedro district of Marbella in order to ensure safety for drivers, pedestrians and those living near overgrown trees. A specialist private company has been chosen to undertake this
work which will cost â‚Ź117,000 and take two months to complete. In addition to the safety aspects, the workmen will ensure that those healthy trees which remain will be pruned so they continue to live long and healthy lives. Work will focus on the Paseo Maritimo and oth-
er areas where there are large numbers of trees and once the work on the 800 palms and 550 other trees is complete, plans are already underway to plant a further 300 trees and to check all of them with a view to extensive treatment to combat potential pests if necessary.
An up market destination FOR the second year running, the Traveller Made Congress which boasts 1,000 professionals from luxury travel agencies will be arriving in Marbella. The council went to a great deal of

New street plaques FIVE years after the placing of special old street signs in Gibraltar, a new selection is being added to points of interest around the Rock. These plaques contain a short description of the street’s old colloquial name and from where it derives. In collaboration with the Gibraltar Heritage Trust and working jointly with local historians, the large easily readable plaques are located at the following sites: • Library Ramp - ‘El Balali’ • New Passage - ‘Calle Peligro’ • Boschetti’s Steps ‘Escalera del Tio Pepe’ • Town Range - ‘Calle Cuarteles’ • Crutchett’s Ramp ‘La Calera’ Further information on these new street plaque locations can be found by way of an updated
leaflet at all Tourist Information Offices and at the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, The leaflet includes a street map full of local information with a recommended trail which will take visitors into the historic old town for the main stops on route. The route aims to give an understanding for the history of Gibraltar’s street names and events or activities that led them to be known by their colourful names. Street names in Gibraltar only became official in the 1970s, when street signs (written in English) were first erected by the police. Until then, streets had no official names and were therefore referred to either by their function or relevance, after some landmark or building on the street, or after an important property owner living on that street.
Gibraltar’s greenest ever building PLANNING approval has been given for the redevelopment of the derelict Old Casino building (which will become The Reserve) and was a victory for the preservation of heritage buildings in Gibraltar and will become the greenest building ever. Members of the planning committee stressed that they would never allow new building in this location - however, with it being a replacement building, allocated within the Gibraltar Development Plan for residential development in this specific location, it was finally approved. In respect of thinking green, the development will feature a range of different indigenous plants and trees which will cover walls and roofs and with 46 trees will double the number being removed to allow for the construction. Investment is to be made into a custom designed monorail cradle system to provide a sustainable form of maintenance access for various cascading and climbing plants on the west elevation which are to be fixed onto wires to provide vertical walls of

RENTAL TAX TO RISE: When the UK leaves the EU.
Brit tax Belén Vargas González prior to travelling to Morocco. as their friends and Moroccan locals set in a lux-
urious desert villa during a weekend party.
CHANGES that will follow when the UK leaves the EU may have a significant impact on the real estate sector on the Costa del Sol, which depends on about 50 per cent of the British market. Brexit will assume from next year unless an agreement is reached in another sense, the application of tax modifications that will significantly affect the British residents in the UK who receive income from renting homes in European territory. Around half of the
homes sold on the Costa del Sol, and particularly in the surroundings of Marbella, Mijas and Estepona, are acquired for holiday purposes by Brits who at the same time obtain a return through the rent during the periods in which they don’t use them. Currently, being citizens of the EU but not residents of Spain, they are required to pay 19 per cent on the profits obtained from the rent. When the exit kicks in, by becoming residents in a third country not belonging to the European Union, the owners
will be taxed 24 per cent on the gross income of the rental. This was explained on Tuesday in Marbella by the economist Santiago Lapausa, who spoke at the conference ‘Brexit and Now?’ This change in the taxation of rents can have direct consequences on the real estate market, and also to many of the real estate agencies and property managers that operate in the surroundings of Marbella who obtain part of their turnover in the management of the rentals of these properties.
Brought to safety AFTER several hours of negotiation, a builder with reported financial problems, was prevented from throwing himself from the top of a building he was working on in Malaga. National Police confirmed they received a call around 9.45am on Monday, February 10, to say there was a man on the rooftop of a property in

Music festival BEACH FESTIVAL: Featuring national and international artists.
ESCALATING AGGRESSION: Has become a full-on street war.
Turf war INCREASING aggressions between gangs in the province of Malaga has led its members to have to demonstrate who is top dog. Gang members have taken the ‘war’ in turf war literally and begun to use assault rifles, such as the AK-47, or even explosives. It is a reality shared by the representatives of the different police unions in Malaga. The head of the
Unified Police Union, Mariló Valencia, insists that the use of an AK-47 aims to show those of the rival gangs the power of their rivals. The general secretary of the Jupol Police Union, Miguel Ángel Millán, knows the reality of this neighbourhood well since he has spent more than 10 years of his professional career in this area of the capital. He explains that weapons of war have al-
ways been in the neighbourhood, having even been “found stashed in a wall to hide them,” and that it is in high peaks of conflict between clans, for drug or family reasons, that they are used. However, it has been suggested that there is still a lack of officers to deal with the situation and that at least 250 more Local Police are required in the streets of Malaga to cover the city’s current needs.

This increase has been progressive over the years, where in 2016 it was €97.73, €107.12 in 2017

ING cuts mortgage rates
Thrifters and Swishers A RECENT survey by Mintel the world’s leading market intelligence agency has revealed an interesting fact which shows that Britain’s young people are either very poor or anxious to help the environ ment. In today’s easy come, easy go cheap fashion world, 52 per cent of those aged between 25 and 34 said that they regularly purchased sec ondhand clothes and just slightly less said they also sold their clothes which means that they belong to a new group called ‘Thrifters.’ Not only does this group buy and
By John Smith sell on the secondhand market, they are also quite happy to repair damaged or worn out clothes rather than simply throw them away. Younger people (16 to 24year olds) are ‘Swishers’ as some 75 per cent say that they are quite happy to regularly swap clothes with friends in order to have an inexpen sive way of varying their wardrobes. Also known as Generation Z, this age group are also happy to rent clothes for special occasions rather than purchase them with 54 per
cent saying that they have or would be interested in renting. The survey found that the majori ty feel that buying too many fash ion items is bad for the environ ment and they would prefer to purchase from a retailer that sold sustainable fashion ranges, but had difficulty in knowing which sellers are acting ethically. It’s almost a return to the con cept of ‘reusing, reducing and recy cling’ which their grandparents had to follow during the Second World War, so fashion outlets need to take note.
DESPITE being fined €5.4 million by the Bank of Spain for incor rectly calculating the APR of its mortgages, ING has decided to continue with its aggressive ac tivities aimed at increasing mort gage market share in Spain. Whilst the reductions are small in real terms (0.1 to 0.2 per cent), it has to be remembered that the actual mortgage rates them selves are in low single figures. Because it doesn’t pay com mission, unlike other banks, it has not been adversely affected by the new laws removing many costs from the mortgagee.

The offending LAW IN SPAIN owner has not bro ken any law. He simply ignores the rules set by the community of his neigh bours. I am supposing that he picks up the dog’s droppings and does not otherwise cause nuisance. His behaviour is annoying and shows a lack of respect for the feeling of his neighbours, but the gardens are not public land and the community has no legal power to enforce their agreed rules in this case. In fact, a Community of Property Owners cannot legally charge fines or add a surcharge to the fees of owners who ignore the mutually agreed rules.

Wind power challenges ALTHOUGH windmills have existed in some form or other for thousands of years, the concept of wind turbines to generate electricity is relatively new and is about to cause some environmental problems. Whilst far more efficient and green than burning coal in a power station, the wind turbines use blades which have a finite life and the older ones were pro duced in glass fibre which is hard to recycle. One option is to cut them down and simply add to landfill which is possibly acceptable if
A SOLUTION: One of the children’s playgrounds in Holland.
Correos to be investigated THE Spanish National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) in its review of the pricing discounts offered to large customers including public administrations believes that the
post office (Correos) may be in breach of its own regulations. It would appear that the discounts mean that the cost of handling the business is greater than the amount charged which may
be against its obligations as a public company and the matter is now under investigation. Also questioned are the high costs of posting a letter to Europe.
you have thousands of acres of unused land in the midwest of America, but not so good for the UK or anywhere with large popu lations in small areas. There are companies that have found solutions, but many of those require the use of large amounts of energy in order to re duce the old blades to pellets, gas or fertiliser and such energy use tends to reduce the value of the electricity produced in the first place. An architect firm in Holland, Superuse Studios has produced a number of playgrounds and street furniture and is currently awaiting planning permission to convert two blades into a bridge in Denmark. One of the largest producers of wind turbines is Siemens Gamesa with its headquarters in Spain and they are tackling two pro jects, firstly to make the blades even larger and secondly to en sure that they are produced from carbon fibre and then try to find an efficient and easily recyclable alternative.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I REALLY do wish people would stop asking me why, as a resident of Spain, I should be writing and giving my opinions on events and situations that arise in the UK? Well, the simple answer to that is, it’s what I do. I am still a very patriotic and staunch supporter of my birth country and, although I don’t actually reside there, I do visit on a fairly regular basis. Because of my profession, I also often find myself travelling there quite extensively. Another more important advantage of being on the outside, looking in as it were, is that you can get a far broader and often more unbiased perspective of a situation - one that can often elude those who live in the confines of the same environment day in and day out. This brings me neatly into this week’s gripe. Yet another atrocity committed by a ‘home grown’ terrorist has brought mayhem to a

TRACKING DEVICE: Should be obligatory.
peaceful British shopping centre. Yet another prisoner on early release has been allowed to walk freely among innocent citizens and maim and injure before being shot dead. No doubt there was plenty of high fiving and ‘Al-
lah Akbars’ in a number of the British prisons holding a seething cauldron of fanatics who also can’t wait to get out and carve their own bloody path to Shangri la. And what ideas do the authorities come up with to
combat the problem? Well, quite frankly not a lot. Adding 25 per cent to a sentence already cut in half, in the forlorn hope that it will give the luvvies more time to de-radicalise these people, simply doesn’t hack it. In the first place, it merely postpones the release of fanatics who will have become even more disgruntled and secondly; de-radicalisation is simply not an option. This twisted ideology is the very reason for their existence. It is all powerful. They actually want to die for it. Dogma of this nature cannot be somehow conveniently exorcised. Even the peace loving Christians went to the lions rather than surrender their religion. What the authorities need to do is get tough. First of all they must relieve these monsters of all their human rights. The introduction of a mandatory full 10-year sentence for any terrorist related offence, including the accessing or passing of terrorist propa-
ganda or its ideology in any form. Whole life sentences for all violent terrorist actions. Stopping all benefits and, as a deterrent, possible deportations of all the perpetrator’s close family members. (‘He was such a lovely boy’!) The constructions of high security prisons, preferably on some uninhabited island, with solitary confinement, a minimum of association and communication and access to only limited privileges that have to be earned. And most important of all, chipping. The obligatory insertion of a device that can not only track, but record all conversations between inmates. This should also remain for life should they ever be released. Inhumane? Tell that to the families of all the innocent loved ones who have been slaughtered by these scourges on our society.

ALIENS ALREADY LIVE AMONGST US! NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
THE first British cosmonaut Helen Sharman has said she believes aliens do exist, claiming extra terrestrials ‘could be living amongst us here on Earth,’ but have simply gone undetected thus far. “Aliens exist, there’s no two ways about it,” she stated, adding that: “there must be all sorts of different forms of life” among the billions of stars. Although aliens may not be made up of carbon and nitrogen like humans “it’s possible they’re here right now and we simply can’t see them.” Presumably, though, those who do make it manage to pass through Heathrow when passport control is having one of its relaxed days. The rest will just have to join the queue and wait - Border Control has no ‘guidelines’ concerning those not from a country on earth. In many low-budget, science-fic-
tion classics of the past like ‘The Invaders,’ ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers,’ ‘Quatermass 2,’ the alien invaders had the power to assume human form. Maybe some among the migrants amongst us aren’t just from other lands, but other planets? After all, according to the 2011 census, the UK alone underwent its biggest population surge after a decade of mass immigration. Some even believe many ‘alien migrants,’ collectively, are known as Members of Parliament since they often sound like they’re on another planet. Well, perhaps that’s because they are. Good grief! Next we’ll read northern Europe’s bad weather is the fault of aliens. Their UFOs moved the jet stream south. Anyway, let’s hope they’ve brought their wellies and brollies with them if they’re visiting the UK at the moment.
Really! Stories like these - head in bucket of sand comes to mind do bring the crazies out. Is it a very early April Fool’s Day story - the usual time when such daft stories are regularly trotted out? What real news are we being distracted from? Elvis has been sighted on the moon - again? Slebs really do write their own novels? And Donald Trump isn’t planning to run for reelection this November? No, hang on, that is true! Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-john son.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook.

Have I missed something? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I USE a couple of online forums to ask about things that I’m not sure of. I’m careful what I put on there. I try to be concise and to the point and, of course, look forward to any answers that may be given or comments on the posts. But what really gets on my nerves is the people that hijack the conversation by taking over my thread and sending it in a completely different direction. It happens all the time. There has to be forum etiquette and it’s simple. If I ask about the correct air pressure to put in my tyres for a long journey to Portugal with a car full of people I have no desire to read about how your Aunt Fanny got her suitcase nicked at Faro airport OK? The annoying thing is that sometimes by the time I get back to read the answers to my question it’s now gone off in loads of different directions. I will, of course, just try and take it back with the one word reply to that person which is HIJACKER!
OK I may be taking a chance with this next grump but it has to be said. As I’ve mentioned before I was in the video business for over 20 years and in that time I watched thousands of movies as a buyer. Not once did I ever consider the race, religion or sexual persuasion of any actor, director, or come to that anything except was it a good movie. There is a lot of carrying on at the moment with the Baftas, Oscars and whatever other award is being given out, that there should be more women, people of colour and gay, plus any others I’ve missed nominated. My question is could it actually be a case that the movies, directors or stars that are being nominated are actually producing the best work? I’ve listened and read all the stuff people like Joaquin Phoenix has said and I’d hate it to go the other way and movies and the stars and directors were nominated because of all of the above reasons of colour, gender etc. I don’t see Joaquin refusing any awards by the way or saying you know I think I’ll give this to so and so because their performance was far superior to mine. Oh and what’s with Joaquin curtseying when introduced to the Royals? Have I missed another equality thing?

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING IT was a particular delight to have our British consul Charmaine Arbouin back on Marbella Now this week, as there were actually specifics to talk about! Even though the deal is done it’s far from over, fortunately for many who have yet to get their documentation in order. Just yesterday a friend said she had only that day actually taken her mother’s residency out to physically look at it. Lo and behold, it wasn’t a permanent document and so immediate panic set in with the realisation that it’s all too easy to be caught out by complacency. The good news is that we, and the powers that be, still have until the end of this year to work it all out. However as we thought last year was that year and people are still getting around to it, please, this

Old habits die hard
Interview with Charmaine Arbouin for Marbella Now TV - RTV Marbella. time, try not to leave it until the last minute. Charmaine couldn’t stress enough that we need to
check our paperwork and if in doubt, ask. When asking, do so to the relevant authorities and consult the official web-
sites. The www.gov.uk page and www.moncloa.es sites both have a Brexit link with very comprehensive instructions; the Spanish page being particularly thoughtful with voice recordings on all main topics. Even more considerate is a new helpline launched by the Spanish Government Brexit 060. When I first read the information shared on social media I was waiting for the punch line, but when I got to the end there wasn’t one. So I called the number and got through to the service, which as of February 1, 2020 offers information on all the main topics, in English. These include exchanging driving licences, pensions and healthcare but also travel, business and universities. This service is coordinating with the Spanish Embassy and
its consulate in London so that any changes that happen will be quickly updated to this phone service. There is no charge calling 060 from a landline, but there will be if you call from your mobile, each provider setting their own rates. To finish my Brexit binge I highly recommend you watch Chamaine’s interview on Marbella Now (#MN249 11.02.2020 available from our website) and not just because she sums up everything so eloquently and knows what she’s talking about, but also because she has a way of knowing how to put things into perspective, even for our ‘swallows’ who seem to be the most confused as to how to keep living on the coast and in the manner to which we’ve all become so accustomed. #BetterTogether

How motivated are you? BE MOTIVATED: Try to focus on the desired outcome.
ROBERT SHALLIS WITH the new decade now well under way, many of us have set out to make a new start in life whatever that may be and with every intention in doing so. So, why is it that we seem to come out of the traps full of enthusiasm and excitement in what we’d like to achieve only to find ourselves back to where we were before? First and foremost, we need motivation. What does that really mean? Motivation, is a desire to achieve something you ‘believe’ to be worthwhile. This is a key point, as many of us feel we have made the right choice but don’t necessarily believe in it enough to see it through. We reach a point where we hit that invisible glass ceiling and step straight back into our
comfort zone. The problem that many of us face is that changing our behaviour, routine or habit can feel far more challenging than remaining as we are, therefore, the payoff is too great and we regress. To help increase motivation you first need to find a motive that you sufficiently believe in. If the motive doesn’t feel as strong as you’d like, focus more on the desired outcome rather than the possible discomfort in
reaching it along the way. Another way to strengthen your motivation is to understand how you can create the ‘ripple effect.’ For example, if your wish is to lose weight, rather than focusing solely on the desired goal - which I must stress is an important first step, focus on how it could positively affect others around you. How much more could you do physically with friends and family? Therefore, impacting their lives too.
Equally, if your desire is to get that promotion at work and in turn earn more money - of course the motivation is more money, but the focus could be on how it affects your family by relieving financial pressures and creating a happier home life. So, focus on the outcome. Strengthen your motivation by focusing on the ripple effect. Remind yourself of this when you find yourself hitting that glass ceiling and wanting to re-
treat. Remember, if you continue doing the same thing, you tend to get the same results. Step out of your comfort zone in order to make a change. If you feel a lack of motivation, which we all do at times, recall some of your past achievements and where you have pushed yourself to reach your goal. We have all done something that we are proud of at some point in our lives. Hold on to that positive moment, however small it may be, rather than holding on to past failings. Things will only change in your life when you make the decision to change them by taking inspired action. Be patient, NEVER stop believing that things will work out, however unreachable it may seem. Make a little progress each day and remind yourself that the journey will be worth it. Challenges are not designed to defeat us; they’re designed to help us grow, any effort to face a challenge is never wasted. Rob Shallis www.robshallis.com

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
This being a family oriented week, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times. Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa.
try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle.
Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say 'no' as and when necessary. Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible. However, don't think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that spring is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There's no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but
‘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
LOTTERY
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the 'bad guy', but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction.

OUR VIEW GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive but in those days there were no Greta Thunbergs or DiCaprios to tell us about why we should worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco-efficiency of our homes. All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet. But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and leading to the extinction of the human race? According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles. These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made. Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures. Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind? Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet. After all, we’re only passing through.
PLANE SAILING DEAR Euro Weekly, With the majority of your readers taking flights backwards and forwards between their home country and Spain it has freaked me out a bit with all the recent news regarding aircraft. Helicopter crashes, malfunctioning landing gear, diverted flights, planes that can’t handle the weather... is it now just a case of say your prayers and hope for the best if we want an easy way to travel? Surely there are enough people working in the aeronautics industry now we can fly more safely. Plane engineers making sure they are suitable to fly. Designers discovering ways to build making fail-safe planes. Weren’t we all supposed to have our own rockets or jet boots by this point? All joking aside, getting on a Ryanair flight is bad enough as it is, before worrying if the flight is going to crash. Maybe they could upgrade their cabins to give some comfort should you be on the last flight you ever take or will they just go the whole hog and replace your one bag allowance with space for a parachute?

Work woes HI Leapy, About right, I have worked in many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, but have only been discriminated against in Europe. I still have a letter from a major car manufacturer saying that I cannot be considered until their own citizens have all been employed. Basically their labour exchanges etc say the same thing. I have been a manager in the telecoms industry and when I have been told to cut my workforce, there inevitably have been Asian and African engineers among those that had to be cut. For me, the worst part of the job was firing people. The Asians and Africans were almost always among the least productive.

Neater Heater. A style to suit everybody.
NEATER HEATERS have been warming Spanish homes for over a decade. In that time, they have made great improvements in design, diversity and technology, while still keeping the original simplicity that has given them the edge over their rivals in both economy and efficiency.

Burger and chips in less than five minutes - Miso Robotics unveils its robot kitchen assistant RONNIE ROCKS THE TECH ACCORDING to a McKinsey & Company analysis, 73 per cent of the activities food service workers perform have the potential for automation. This might seem like cause for alarm, but Miso Robotics, a startup developing automation products for fast-food and quick-service restaurant kitchens, asserts machines can boost productivity by working with humans as opposed to wholly replacing them. To this end, Miso this morning unveiled the Miso Robot on a Rail
(ROAR), which it describes as the ‘next generation’ of ‘cost-efficient’ robotic assistant solutions for restaurant chains. It’s basically the evolution of Miso’s previous robot, Flippy, albeit affixed to a movable rail as opposed to a ground-mounted base. ROAR - which is expected to begin shipping commercially by the end of 2020 for around €30,000, or half the cost of Flippy - can be installed on a floor or under a standard kitchen hood, allowing it to work two stations and interact with a cold storage hopper. On the software side, it benefits from improvements to Miso AI (Miso’s eponymous cloud-based plat-
ROBOT ON A RAIL: Can prep hundreds of orders an hour. form) that expands the number of cookable food categories to over a dozen, including chicken tenders, chicken wings, tater tots, french fries and waffle fries, cheese sticks,
potato wedges, corn dogs, popcorn shrimp and chicken, and onion rings. ROAR can prep hundreds of orders an hour thanks to a combination
of cameras and safety scanners, obtaining frozen food and cooking it without assistance from a human team member. It alerts nearby workers when orders are ready to
be served, and it takes on tasks like scraping grills, draining excess fry oil, and skimming oil between frying as it recognises and monitors items like baskets and burger patties in real time. Plus, it integrates with point-of-sales systems (via Miso AI) to route orders automatically and optimise which tasks to perform. The eventual aim is that a customer would walk through the door of a café/bar/restaurant and by using their mobile phone make an order for food and within the time it takes to cook the food, pick it up at the counter, with no human involved! Mm… wouldn’t like to meet the complaints robot!

My kitchen, my rules
BARRY DUKE AFTER recently settling down to dinner I realised I’d forgotten to bring the mustard in from the kitchen. I dashed back to fetch the jar from the shelf on which it normally sits, but it wasn’t there. This was the umpteenth time that it had moved. Normally I would grumpily ask my other half, Marcus, where he’d hidden it, and neither of us would get dinner until the mustard was found. But this time Marcus wasn’t around. He had taken himself off on a Far Eastern vacation, so it remained in whatever hidey-hole he’d found for it. I had to make do with horseradish sauce, which just didn’t cut the mustard, so to speak. I have always regarded the kitchens of every place I’d lived in as my territory, and mine alone because ‘help’ with the cooking or washing up can unleash havoc. Here’s an example of how

MY TERRITORY: A sight you’ll never see in my kitchen. things can go disastrously wrong when someone steps in to lend a hand. A friend of mine - a cordon bleu chef - told me she’d almost
battered her husband David to death with a meat mallet after he nipped into the kitchen to help with a dinner party she was
preparing for six. When Natalie briefly popped out of the kitchen to use the loo, he shot in. On seeing a roasting tray at the side of the sink that had just been used for the main duck dish, he squirted washing up liquid into the tray. On her return, Natalie shooed her husband out of the kitchen, and, obviously unaware of the detergent in the tray he was about to wash, used the contents to make a sauce. It was only when her guests started to gag and pull faces did she realise something had gone horribly wrong. When David explained ‘I was only trying to help’ she ran out of the house in tears, went to a bar, got mightily sloshed and returned home at 3am. The only time I ever shared a kitchen was when my late partner Brian and I co-bought a property with a third party called Terry Mullins in London back in the 1980s. The arrangement didn’t last long. The now-dead Mullins, who seemed a nice enough
bloke before we ended up under the same roof, proved to be a thoroughly nasty piece of work. The screaming matches we had concerned things like toilet paper (he refused to have any in the loo, preferring torn-up sheets of the Daily Mirror) to heating (each time I’d turn on the central heating, he’d turn it off). But the biggest bone of contention was the kitchen. I hated his boiled cabbage and he loathed the smell of my curries. One day, while I was out, he removed a chicken vindaloo that was simmering on the cooker and flushed it down the toilet. Such was my fury that I began cooking curry every single day.

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England FOR a select few with the means, a qualifying vintage race car as well as the means to run a team to support you throughout, the 1000 Miglia car race would be the classic style in which to tour the northern provinces of Italy. For others who have the time and means, a next best choice would be to follow the race one way or another. For vintage car enthusiasts this is the race and the place to be in May. The food, the petrol, the views and the historic sights as well as the sounds of many sports cars pushing on. The 38th edition of the historical re-enactment of the race held from 1927 to 1957 will start from the city of Brescia on May 13, 2020 returning to Brescia on May 16. On the starting line of the most important vintage car race regularly held there is an expected 400 cars starting this year. The cars will be selected from among those registered on the site www.registro1000miglia.it. By the end of 2019 there were more than 600 cars registered, more have no doubt since registered for the this year’s race. From among the registered cars just 400 will be selected for the 2020 race after strict examination of the entrants.
1000 Miglia 2020 One of hundreds of vintage sports cars passing through an Italian town square during the 1000 Miglia 2019.
There are two types of registration. The first is ‘Participant Car 1000 Miglia 1927/ 1957’ which is reserved for the individual cars, identified by number plate or chassis which were originally registered for at least one edition of the 1000 Miglia from 1927 to 1957. The second type of entrant is ‘Eligible Car 1000 Miglia,’ which certifies eligibility for the modern commemoration of the Race belonging to a model type registered for at least one edition of the 1000 Miglia from 1927 to 1957. Enzo Ferrari called the 1000 Miglia ‘A travelling museum unique in the world’
and since 1927, the year of the first edition, the race has maintained its unique attractions, not only a car race but also a mix of history and a journey through the beauty of Italian cities, villages and countryside. The route; the start line is in Brescia with the long procession of vintage cars crossing the picturesque towns of Lake Garda, Desenzano and Sirmione continuing on through Villafranca di Verona, Mantua, Ferrara ad Ravenna finishing at Cervia - Milan Marittima. The second day will see the race start from Cesenatico and swing through
Urbino, Fabriano, Macerata , Fermo and Ascoli Piceno and Amatrice. From Rieti the vintage cars will arrive in Rome where after the usual parade through the streets of the Eternal City, Day Two will end on the via Veneto. The third and longest days racing on Friday May 15 will start in the early morning and will see the cars transit Ronciglione, Radicofani, Viterbo and Castiglione d’Orica, pausing at the magnificent Piazza II Campo di Siena. Leaving Lucca the cars will leave Tuscany crossing the Cisa Pass to the day’s finish in Parma, the 2020 Italian Capital of Culture. The fourth and final day of the race will see the route pass from Salsomaggiore Terme from the village of Castell’Arquato [Piacenza] and from Cernusco sul Naviglio a town in the province of Milan, named as the European City of Sport 2020 , then on to Bergamo before finally arriving at the finish on the Viale Venezia in Brescia. The race is no longer as dangerous as the original however that does not detract from its many attractions. Make a date one way or another to follow the car of your day dreams.

How to cope with post-workout soreness IT’S normal to feel a bit sore after an intense workout, but what should you do when the pain is worse than usual and is interfering with your daily life? The scientific term for post-workout aches and pains is DOMS - ‘delayed-onset muscle soreness.’ It usually peaks around two to three days following exercise as your body starts to go to town on repairing any muscle fibres that may have been torn during the workout. Occasionally, you may experience ‘extreme soreness,’ which is more likely to happen after you’ve done an intense activity that your muscles aren’t accustomed to. Just because you’re more sore, it doesn’t always mean you’re getting better workout results and can cause you more damage in
the long term so don’t make a habit of exercising regularly on a high level of soreness. However, there are several simple things you can do to ease the pain. First of all, make sure you stay hydrated as research has shown a correlation between dehydration and DOMS. Water helps to purge waste products and toxins that are associated with muscle soreness. Also make sure you eat lots of protein which is vital for rebuilding muscle tissue. You could also try switching between heat and cold therapy as ice helps to reduce the swelling that is sometimes the result of extreme soreness while heat can minimise pain and tension.
Lathering in lavender LAVENDER oil is extracted from the flowers of the lavender plant, usually using steam, and is often used in beauty and health products such as aromatherapy oil, lotions and soaps. The essential oil also works well when blended with other essential oils such as pine, cedar wood, geranium and nutmeg. The health benefits of lavender oil have been raved about for centuries. It has the ability to relieve pain, enhance blood circulation, get rid of nervous tension, disinfect the skin, enhance blood circulation, and treat respiratory problems among others. It also works as an effective bug repellent and has anti-inflammatory qualities that help to reduce the irritation if you do get bitten. Lavender oil has been used for centuries to induce sleep and can be used to treat insomnia. Studies on el-
derly people have revealed their sleep regularity increases when they place some lavender essential oil on their pillows due to its relaxing impact. For this reason it also helps to calm the nerves and ease anxiety. The stimulating aroma has been proven to get rid of
nervous exhaustion and restlessness while increasing mental activity at the same time. This, therefore, makes it effective in treating depression, headaches, emotional stress and nervous tension. One study revealed that people taking exams suffered from less anxiety if they inhaled lavender and rosemary oil before taking the test.
PURPLE GAIN: Lavender has been proven to reduce emotional stress and nervous tension.
PAIN NO GAIN: Take care not to overdo it when exercising.

Advertising Feature WHILE no one is immune to the hands of time, we do get to make a choice as to how we navigate the way our bodies change as the years go past. Some of us embrace the signs of ageing - a few grey hairs and our smile-lines can be seen as the marks of a life welllived. Others prefer to minimise the impact of time, using all of the options at our disposal to maintain an image that seems to defy the sands in the hourglass. The important thing is that you are satisfied with the person that you see when you look in the mirror. If you’re not happy with the image that you’re presenting to the world, here’s some of the options that you might wish to explore. Cosmetic surgery Cosmetic surgery can create some dramatic changes in your appearance. Cosmetic surgery is a broad field and can refer to major procedures such as face-lifts or nose-jobs, to less-intrusive aesthetic procedures such as fillers or Botox. While cosmetic surgery can produce results that will seem as if you have turned back the hands of time, these procedures are generally fairly expensive. There’s also risks to your health in undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures. Even something that seems relatively

EMBRACING AGE: Perhaps it’s time to explore the options available to you. minor - such as having fillers or Botox injected into your face - does require fairly toxic substances to be injected into sensitive parts of your anatomy. Non-surgical treatments Many women are looking to non-surgical beauty treatments to help enhance their appearance and boost their confi-
dence when looking in the mirror. The most effective non-surgical beauty treatments are when we see nature and science working in harmony together. Using herb and plant extracts, natural products that draw on traditional techniques have been the foundation of women’s daily self-care routine for cen-
turies. With the enhancements now available through scientific research and testing, these natural products can be more effective than ever. Non-surgical options, such as natural beauty products, are not only an opportunity to avoid invasive surgery, they’re also significantly less expensive. You may also have ethical considerations when it comes to your preferred beauty regime. If you want assurance that the products you’re using are vegan, then you’ll need to be looking at natural beauty product options. The benefits of natural beauty products While avoiding surgery and minimising costs are important considerations when looking at natural beauty products as an alternative to cosmetic surgery, ultimately you need to be confident that the beauty solutions that you’re choosing will deliver the results that you’re looking for. If you’re disappointed when you look in the mirror, maybe it’s time to explore the options available to you, and the best option by far is the Alberto Bianchi Face Lift Serum.

STAY CLEAN CLEAN eating has been the focus of many dieticians and health-food obsessives for a while now, but what does the term actually mean? Is it actually as good for you as it’s made out to be? Clean eating is defined by The Oxford Dictionary simply as: ‘Relating to a diet consisting of unprocessed, unrefined, and nutrient-rich food, typically eaten as small meals throughout the day.’ Eating a diet of fresh, unprocessed food is undoubtedly important, and is the basis for the entire clean eating movement. However, the term has now been used to describe many recent diet trends such as organic, vegan or alkaline diets. Some believe you have to cut out all gluten products to be eating ‘clean,’ others think the same for dairy. While many of these di-
GOOD STUFF: How clean is your plate?
ets have their benefits, it’s important to make sure your diet is rich with all the essential nutrients your body needs, and eliminating entire food groups sometimes defeats the purpose of healthy eating. Although society as a whole is undoubtedly eating more processed food than a hundred years ago, simply because there were less processed ingredients
back then and it was more common place to eat from scratch, the clean eating movement has had a positive impact in that it’s encouraging more people to get back to basics and consider what they actually put in their bodies. You shouldn’t cut out every indulgence in the name of healthy eating, but eating a range of unprocessed, fresh food is always important.

For the second year in a row, the Oscars went hostfree. Luckily, former show emcees Steve Martin and Chris Rock essentially filled the part with a series of jokes at the top of the show. Highlights included Joaquín Phoenix winning ‘Best Actor’ for ‘Joker,’ Renée Zellweger taking home ‘Best Actress’ for ‘Judy,’ and ‘Parasite’ winning ‘Best Picture.’ We were amused by ‘Once Upon a Time’ child actress Julia Butters, who brought a turkey sandwich in her purse, as she said, “I don’t like some of

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala prepares a delicious sharing dessert for a special home cooked Valentine’s dinner!
Make it a sticky toffee Valentine’s! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com I ALWAYS try and make Valentine’s week an especially romantic time because although we all say those three little words often, it can be a bit routine, so no harm in a bit of extra effort from time to time. Over the last couple of weeks I have been sharing some of my special unique recipes for making your own romantic dinner at home. If you missed them, you can find them online at www.euroweeklynews.com. This year as a Valentine’s treat for Michele I flew her to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. That sounds extravagant but it coupled up with a scheduled holiday and as we don’t take many holidays we booked Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi as a real treat.
One of the reasons for staying at The Palace is that Michele was a big fan of Sex & the City and the movie was filmed at Emirates Palace. If you saw it you will recall Samantha getting into all sorts of trouble with the local Arab police for being too sexy and eventually they were all thrown out! It doesn’t sound too romantic so far does it? Lol, I had to ask Michele why she wanted to go somewhere where it is illegal to hold hands after all this is our Valentine’s treat!? “Well we don’t hold hands much anyway” she said… as she pushed the button on the lap top to transfer the funds. I had been to Emirates Palace many times during my time in Abu Dhabi when I was involved with Formula 1, but I had not stayed there and so we were both very excited. I was also looking forward to meeting up with old friends and seeing my daughter Serena who is now living in Dubai. We had a great night at
Chef Steven with chef of Emirates Palace and Food and Beverage Manager. Hakkasan with Serena and her boyfriend Clint (an avid reader!) and we arranged a special brunch day at The Westin in Dubai to celebrate our friend Carolyn’s birthday. Veuve Clicquot flowed along with Michele’s favourite vodka and a buffet that was so huge you literally got lost amongst the crab legs and beef ribs! (They don’t eat pork). I was surprised to be recognised by so many guests at the brunch and by the head Chef of The Westin Dubai who follows

me on Instagram. Some guests thought that I was Bono from U2 and I played along and had some fun, until they asked me to sing the U2 song With or Without You! When we got back to the hotel in Abu Dhabi we had a few disapproving stares from the locals. “Nothing wrong with a few drinks,” Michele said as she
held onto me. “Hush please,” I said, “we will get arrested!” Emirates Palace is the most beautiful and elegant hotel but sadly the staff are not well trained and so value for money it isn’t. The service is very amateur and no sign of a manager anywhere. When I asked to see a manager I was told no one was available! For one of the leading hotels in the world it was surprising and it is amazing that it has managed to stay open all these years. Anyway back at home in lovely Spain and I am cooking up a storm for Valentine’s. A great dessert to make for this sexy occasion is a sticky toffee pudding. Easy to make, delicious to share and if you have any left over toffee sauce it could go over each other... as long as you are not in Abu Dhabi!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Valentine’s Sticky Toffee Pudding (Serves 6/8) Ingredients: 120g of unsalted butter, softened 200g of light brown sugar 4 eggs beaten 225g of self-raising flour, sifted 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 200g of dates, stoned 200g of sultanas 275 ml of boiling water For the Toffee Sauce 125g of unsalted butter 175g of muscovado brown sugar 70g of double cream How to make: Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a loose bottom cake tin with greaseproof paper. Using a wooden spoon or food mixer, whisk the butter and sugar until pale and slowly add the beaten eggs until combined. Soak the dates and sultanas in the boiling water for 10 minutes until

tin and bake for one hour or until springy to the touch. Pierce with a cocktail stick and if it comes out clean it is cooked. While the pudding is baking, make the toffee sauce. Combine the butter and sugar in a small pan and place on a low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar then mix in the cream to finish. Whisk in until the sauce is smooth. Keep on a low heat until the sauce is thick. Pass through a sieve and keep warm. Cut the cooked pudding into eight equal-sized portions (see picture) and serve with the hot toffee sauce and some vanilla ice cream or sweet vanilla cream.

Sloth; Sin or Lifestyle Choice? SUZANNE MANNERS IT is said that; “The devil makes work for idle hands to do.” Meaning that unless one is in a constant state of ‘busyness’ then the Devil will slip in and wreak havoc… and if you’re lucky he will have his wicked way with you (it is no accident that Rosemary’s husband was a ‘resting’ actor). Parents around the world will recognise the glint of devilry that descends on a bored child (I have an older brother so I know of what I speak) and the dreaded silence that engulfs the house when the possessed child finds the tub of Sudocrem. This notion of saintliness via useful endeavour was thrust upon us by the good old Victorians who liked nothing better than to send all and sundry off to the Workhouse for
SLOTH: Why is it deserving of such a bad press? crimes as heinous as having one leg, being in possession of blind eyes and being hungry. ‘The undeserving poor’ were looked down upon as being feckless, lazy and downright criminal. The notion of a piety
inherent in hard work permeated the wizened uncharitable thoughts of those who owned the means of production... useful really when your own wealth derives from the labours of others.
‘Freedom through work’ (a nasty little quote slung up with gleeful wickedness at the entrance of Nazi Concentration camps) wormed its way in and breathed its fetid fumes of self righteousness upon us. But is Sloth deserving of such a bad press? The artist Tolouse Lautrec spent most of his time hanging out at the Moulin Rouge drinking Absinthe and ogling the Can Can dancers, Constable wandered aimlessly through fields and meadows and Da Vinci’s portfolio is famously thin. Without moments of inaction great art, inventions, ideas and poetry would be lost. How poor life would be if we did not stop and smell the roses, or chat to a cat, or shoot the breeze with a loved one. There is nothing better in this life than sitting outside a cafe reading a newspaper or standing at the edge of the sea and watching the tide ebb and flow. The poet W H Davies wrote,
‘poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.’ The perfect Sunday for me consists of throwing random ingredients into a crockpot then spending a whole day in pyjamas reading a book or binge watching Peaky Blinders (oh my goodness how blue are Cillian Murphy’s eyes!!... next week Lust). Life is short but is full of wonders and beauty to compensate for our inevitable end. How sad if we were not to take advantage of that compensation and on our deathbeds could only imagine the sunsets unseen, the seas unswum and the words unspoken. So Dear Reader a little bit of Sloth calms the heart and rests the weary soul in readiness for dodging the slings and arrows of the workday we call life. I’m off to contemplate Irish eyes. Toodle pip.

The Check-in Scan app was present at Fitur 2020, the second time in as many years it has been present at the event, with its own stand in the Business and Technology Pavilion Check-in Scan, the most downloaded application for checking in guests at tourism establishments, was again present at the Madrid international tourism show in January, following the success of its appearance at the previous edition of the event. Once more, it held demonstrations of the app to any interested parties who approached its stand. THE impact and recognition bestowed by Fitur are clear to see: internationally, it is considered one of the most important events in the tourism sector in Spain. This year, there has been a special focus on the theme of ‘tourism of the future.’ When we think of the future, one cannot help but think of the new technologies that streamline management and provide security. As at the time of this new edition of the event, the application had seen a 145 per cent increase in downloads compared with the previous year. There was also an increase in the number of visitors to its stand, with a number of visits this year from clients to praise the work of the team. Curiously, we mention the visit of users who have attended the event exclusively to meet with the Check-in Scan team. We also emphasise the support provided by the Mijas City Council for the start-up with its registered office in Mijas,
Malaga. The mayor and part of the governance team visited the stand with the local press. Benjamin Smith, the CEO of Check-in Scan, states that there has been “an increase of 27 per cent in the number of potential clients compared with the previous edition. The increase in awareness of the need to comply with legal regulations has been palpable. The aim of Check-in Scan is to enable them to comply with these regulations and help them avoid the headache that this presents,” he continues. “We have received a number of visits from users who already knew us or who had re-
ceived recommendations. Specifically, one person at the event told us that he had been told very good things about us from different sources and that when references are good from a number of sources, that is a sign of a good system, so he decided to visit us,” says Rocío Rodríguez, the head of Marketing at Check-in Scan. “It is very good to see first-hand the fruits of the business at this type of event.” For Check-in Scan, Fitur is an event not to be missed at which each year it provides information about new developments and demonstrates how the application operates. The application is intu-

itive and easy to use. Only three steps are required when the guest arrives: scan the national ID or passport of the guest, have the guest sign on the screen of the mobile and automatically send the details to the police. By following this procedure, the establishment will comply with law in a secure manner and reduce processing times by 90 per cent. Equipped with the best security and data privacy technology, it also has other functions for all types of procedures: it can pre-check-in guests to anticipate details, allow guests to check themselves in, import reservations from PMS via the iCal system, and so much more. Hotel, guesthouse, hostel, campsite, holiday let and rural accommodation managers only need a mobile handset onto which to download the application, which is available from Google Play and Apple Store. With the app, they will be able to check-in their guests in total freedom and comfort.

She claimed to have done so for 50 years. I calculated that, (although I had no intention of doing this), if I placed the cigarettes she had ignited end to end, they would stretch from Malaga to Valencia. This individual had lit up 912,500 in a lifetime. The length of those cigarettes is about 638 kilometres. And the money required to buy

TESTIMONIAL Charlie: 5 star No other newspaper as good in Spain, tbh not even any paper in the UK comes close that I have ever seen as good as EWN. Informative, refreshing and full of news and reviews, especially like the nonogram teaser and the horoscopes lol, takes me all week to read front to back. Carry on the good work.

Rougher roads VOLKSWAGEN has unveiled the Taigun, a small SUV designed specifically for the Indian market and due to go into production in 2021, at the New Delhi Auto Expo. The production version of the Taigun will be the first Volkswagen launched under the VW Group’s ‘India 2.0’ project. The new model, similar in size to the European-market T-Cross, is closely related to the Skoda Vision IN concept that has also been unveiled at the event. Both vehicles are built on a new local market version of Volkswagen’s MQB A0 modular platform and will be built alongside each other. The Taigun is marginally longer than the T-Cross, with a wheelbase of 2,651mm. It also offers an increased 205mm of ground clearance, in order to better cope with India’s rougher roads. The exterior design is bespoke to the Taigun, with a more upright design than the T-Cross and greater use of chrome to reflect local tastes.
Inside, the concept features a digital instrument cluster and an 8.0-inch central touchscreen. According to Autocar India, the Taigun will be powered by a 130hp, 1.5litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, with a CNG-powered version also being considered. The Taigun and Vision IN will both gain ‘notchback’ variants - similar to the Brazilian VW Ventos - in the future. While the initial focus for both machines will be India, the VW Group could export them to similar markets including Brazil and South America - in the future.
Double trouble RENAULT has unveiled two new models for the beginning of 2020, the Megane and the Megane E-Tech Plug-in. The new Megane offers modernised cockpit featuring a 9.3-inch multimedia screen and 10.2-inch dashboard screens and benefits from all the features of the EASY LINK multimedia system. To enhance safety and comfort, new driving aids are available. These include the Motorway and Traffic Assistant, an autonomous level two system that offers comfort and peace of mind behind the wheel. The Megane oozes elegance and refinement, both in its design and the dynamic lines that have made it such a success. For a more eco-friendly version, drivers can look to the Megane E-Tech Plugin, a rechargeable hybrid engine for a unique driving experience. As a pioneer and expert
in electric mobility, Renault is giving the E-Tech the benefit of the 160hp rechargeable hybrid engine that benefits from a new technology focusing on energy recovery and is directly inspired by Formula 1 expertise. It uses components designed within the Alliance, such as its new-generation 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors and an innovative multimode gearbox. With its 9.8 kWh (400V) battery capacity, the hybrid can be driven on 100 per cent electric power at speeds of up to 135 kph.
THE TAIGUN: Will cope with rougher Indian roads.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher VOLVO has a long history of producing robust and spacious vehicles and its SUV range reflects that and adds luxury features and premium styling to give the brand a formidable presence in its sector. Rivals include the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Range Rover Discovery yet Volvo’s XC models still stand out and have their own distinctive character and appeal. There are several XC variants in petrol, diesel and mild-hybrid form, with multiple trim levels and prices from €45,903 (£38,715). The five-seat XC60 is a popular choice and my test model was a T5 in upper range R-Design trim with 2.0-litre 250 hp petrol engine, auto transmission and all-wheel drive. Priced at €50,432 (£42,535), this version has a
MOTORING
Volvo XC60 T5 R-Design quick 0-100 kph time of 6.4 seconds, top speed of 220 kph (137 mph) and average fuel economy of 10.9 kpl (30.8 mpg). Emissions are 174 g/km. Based on the platform of Volvo’s larger XC90, the XC60 is shorter, seats five instead of seven, and and is more nimble to handle. In R-Design form it has more sporty styling, larger alloy wheels, lowered suspension and additional equipment. Standard kit on this version includes voice-activated control system, satnav, connectivity, dualzone climate control, powered tailgate, front and rear parking sensors and safety features which include auto-emergency
braking with cyclist, pedestrian and large animal detection, lane-keep assist and run-off road protection which tightens seats belts and also gives additional spinal protection thanks to special seat frames. Build quality and standard of finish of this Volvo SUV is impressive - you certainly feel you are in a premium luxury model. The dashboard has a simple

functional layout with most controls via a vertical-format central touch screen which reacts quickly. The cabin is roomy for five adults and seating is very comfortable. Boot space is 505 litres, expandable to 1,432 litres by dropping the rear seats to provide a flat load floor. When it comes to driving, the XC60 performs beautifully with crisp smooth acceleration and excellent steering feedback. The firmer suspension on the R-Design version boosts grip, reduces cornering pitch, yet still provides comfortable ride quality. Summing up, the Volvo XC60 is a classy and polished performer bringing a dash of Scandinavian design flair to the sometimes rather staid SUV sector.
Muscular luxury THE 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 S is a sensible five-passenger SUV with added touches from the high-performance division of the German global automobile marque. With just over 600 horsepower on tap, the AMG GLE 63 S may look similar to the standard GLS, but there are many noticeable exterior changes, not to mention what’s under the hood. Mercedes-AMG, as always, has done an excellent job of engineering a family SUV that can, if so desired, handle some hot laps around the track. Like all other Mercedes-AMG models, the new GLE 63 S features several exterior modifications to set it apart from its non-AMG counterpart. An AMG-specific radiator grille with vertical louvres, front bumper with a dynamic A-wing design, a power dome hood, and a front splitter in silver. Also, notice the flared wheel arches for a truly muscular appearance. The rear bumper incorporates the diffuser and a unique AMG exhaust system with two rectangular twin tailpipe trims. Power comes from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. An electric 48-volt EQ Boost
starter-generator contributes another 21 hp and 184 lb-ft, which means, for the first time, this particular engine has been electrified. All of that power is directed to the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Expect 0 to 60 mph to happen in just 3.7 seconds while top speed is electronically limited to 174 mph. Due to the sheer amount of power, Mercedes-AMG engineers have included systems such as AMG Active Ride Control for roll stabilisation, an electronically controlled locking differential at the rear, and an advanced braking system. Up front are six-piston fixed brake callipers and 16-inch brake discs, while single-piston floating brake callipers with 14.6-inch discs are at the rear. A high-performance ceramic braking system is optional. Mercedes-AMG has not released official pricing, though it will be announced closer to when the 2021 GLE 63 S arrives in dealerships in the middle of the year.
A TRUE SPEED DEMON: GLE63 gets full AMG treatment.

Everton Put 3 past Lacklustre Palace BERNARD, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were on target as Everton inflicted another defeat on Crystal Palace to move up to seventh in the Premier League. Everton broke the deadlock with a lovely goal in the 18th-minute, Bernard burying a first time half-volley after a delightful cross by Theo Walcott, who unfortunately limped off with a hamstring injury a short while later. Jordan Pickford then allowed a routine shot from Christian Benteke squirm through his legs for the Belgian’s first goal in 34 appearances as Palace restored parity after the interval, and moments later the 29-yearold unwittingly struck the post. Just when it looked like Everton were on the ropes, however, the hosts took the lead through a fine solo goal from Richarlison on the break, the Brazilian netting his 11th goal of the season after a lung-busting run. And Calvert-Lewin sealed the points with his 13th of the campaign

NO PRICKLY PAIRS AT MIRAFLORES! THE Club Drawn Pairs competition took place this week with the qualifying rounds in wonderful balmy weather conditions. With an excellent entry and most of the members involved we looked forward to a feast of quality bowling. The early rounds saw some very closely contested matches. The semi-finals saw Terry Stone and Mike Woolley up against Derek Carr and Brenda Hall, while in the other we had Val Lewis and Linda Cordner playing Carol Frost and Dorothy Pilmoor. The matches were watched by a large group of spectators, the match between Terry and Mike and Derek and Brenda was extremely close with the score 10-9 after nine ends, then Terry and Mike won the next six ends to take an unassailable lead and win 19-14. While the other match unfolded in a similar fashion with Carol and Dorothy 9-8 up after 12 ends, they dropped five shots on the next two ends and despite winning three of the last four ends, just failed to tie the match losing 13-14. Both matches exhibited some excellent bowling. Finals day arrived and again there were a large group of people watching on a glorious day. Terry and Mike got off to a steady start winning eight of the first 11 ends to lead 14-5, Val and Lynda fought back but the gap proved to be too great leaving Terry and Mike comfortable winners 17-11. Competition Secretary, Derek Carr praised all the players for their efforts ensuring both teams received warm applause from the crowd. Terry is now looking for a treble in the Singles shortly!

Feisty Encounter As Sheffield Take The Points SHEFFIELD UNITED earned a valuable three points with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, condemning the Cherries to a crushing late defeat at Bramall Lane. Callum Wilson opened the scoring on 13 minutes, blasting home from close range after some pinball in the penalty area to give the visitors the lead. Sheffield United grew into the match as the first half progressed, and the Blades pulled level in injury time, when club legend Billy Sharp poked the ball into the net following a scramble in the six-yard box. Tempers flared in the second half with plenty to play for at both ends of the table, and Andrew Surman was booked for an altercation with Blades boss Chris Wilder. Nathan Ake came close to restoring the visitors’ lead, but his effort went narrowly wide. Dean Henderson pulled off a brilliant save on 70 minutes to deny Ryan Fraser, as Bournemouth sensed the opportunity to snatch all three points. But it was the hosts who struck the decisive blow however, when substitute John Lundstram slotted home coolly to snatch the victory and put the Blades two points behind fourth-place Chelsea.
Leeds settle for one point LEEDS UNITED had to settle for a point at Griffin Park after captain Liam Cooper got his first g o a l o f t h e s e a s o n i n re p l y t o Said Benrahma’s early first half tap-in. The first chance of the game fell to the hosts as Josh Dasilva saw his 20-yard tame strike saved comfortably by Kiko Casilla. Minutes later the Whites rushed Brentford into a defensive mistake, which saw Jack Harrison almost capitalise, but he scuffed his shot when in on goal. Leeds continued to dominate the early proceedings and Luke Ayling got his head on a corner but his effort lacked power and David Raya comfortably saved. W ith 23 minutes on the clock, Christian Norgaard had Brentford’s first big chance of the contest, but his strike whistled just past Casilla’s post from the edge of the box. Seconds later Brentford took the lead against the run of play, after a Casilla slip left Said Benrahma an empty net to tap into. Benrahma almost grabbed his second of the evening shortly after, but Ayling blocked his close range

In the 38th minute, Harrison whipped in an in-swinging corner which saw Cooper poke home the equaliser following a failed clearance from Raya in the Brentford net. Leeds continued to have chances as Stuart Dallas played a lovely floated through ball to Helder Costa who saw his diving header fly just over the crossbar. Half Time: Brentford 1-1 Leeds Unit-
ed Marcelo Bielsa’s side had the first chance of the second half as Ayling whipped a fantastic ball into the box and Bamford rose highest, but his effort went just over the crossbar. After a quiet 15 minutes, Leeds broke in numbers on the counter attack and Costa played a fantastic one-two with Mateusz Klich but Costa’s shot was saved by Raya. Harrison once again had the beating of his man as he cut the ball back to Bamford on the edge of the box, but his difficult half-volley went over the crossbar. With 15 minutes to go, Brentford had their first proper chance of the half as Benrahma stood over a 20yard free kick, but his effort flew into the wall. The ever-influential Harrison won another corner for the Whites and from the set-piece Hernandez had an effort blocked on the edge of the box. In the four minutes of additional time Leeds continued to press for the winner, but the Bees stayed resolute and despite extreme late pressure, Leeds had to settle for a point.

WALKING FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUBS JOIN FORCES TO HELP FUNDRAISING
WALKING FOOTBALL SPAIN, Smiles, the Walking Dead and Aston Viñuela of the Blue Sky Marbella Walking Football League are linking to assist a lady who is fundraising to help a friend. Michelle Ferretti has been friends with Della Andres for more than 20 years and was shocked three years ago when Della was struck down with ASL (Motor Nuerone Disease) a terminal illness which leaves the sufferer only three to five years to live. Michelle decided she would take up the ‘Six Pack’ Challenge which entails NO alcohol, sugar or carbs and some gruelling exercises every day. This is some feat as Michelle just LOVES all these things!!!! This is over a course o f 75 days. One of Michelle’s friends Rob plays Sunday football with Walking Football Spain and asked if we could assist Michelle. Quickly and unanimously all four clubs agreed. In fact Gray Salt organised a tournament last summer in which the clubs participated raising over €2,000 so we knew Della and what was required. This time it is to contribute to buying a wheelchair friendly people carrier to make it easier for Della to attend hospital appointments and family outings. The League clubs have provisionally organised a Walking
Football match for Friday March 13 (TBC) at the Retamar Sports Complex, Benalmadena (next to the Butterfly Park) Kick Off 7.30 pm. (To Be Confirmed) A ‘North Select’ comprising of five players each from Smiles and Aston Viñuela will be taking on five players each from Walking Football Spain and the Walking Dead forming the ‘South Select.’ Entry will be free and food, drink and music available to ensure a lively atmosphere.
