Search ends in tragedy
THE Marbella community was left stunned on October 26 when the body of missing teenager Jacobo Isidro Benedito, was found by the Civil Protection dog unit. The 16‐year‐old disappeared on Monday October 25 after going out for a walk in the Aloha Nuevo Andalucia neighbourhood. He was last seen on the promenade in Marbella in the late afternoon but did not return home. This behaviour was said to be out of character and alarm bells began to ring among those who knew him. Family and friends including the Marbel‐ la Rugby Club, where Jacobo was a mem‐ ber, quickly began a social media campaign to try and track him down. The information
was shared far and wide in the local com‐ munity, but there was still no sign of him. When he still hadn’t appeared after night‐ fall, a search was organised. The search continued into the next day and resulted in the discovery of a body close to an abandoned building in the Lago de las Tortugas area of San Pedro Alcántara at around 4.30pm on Tuesday. The body was soon confirmed to be that of Jacobo and the search was called off. The body was removed and authorities will now try to establish the circumstances surrounding his death. Meanwhile, the tragedy has left the local community in a state of shock.
International Butterfly Skin Day
DEBRA the Butterfly Chil‐ dren’s Charity founded in Marbella celebrated Interna‐ tional Butterfly Skin Day on Monday October 25. To coincide with this, it re‐ leased a documentary which gives viewers the opportunity to empathise with and under‐ stand the day‐to‐day tribula‐ tions of a family with Butterfly Skin. This organisation is the only support group for fami‐ lies with Butterfly Skin in Spain: a rare and incurable dis‐ ease, which currently affects more than 500 people in Spain. It is characterised by the ex‐ treme fragility of the skin, leading to lifelong pain and disability. A short documentary and a series of videos published on social media portray the life of
a five‐year‐old superhero Adria with Butterfly Skin who faces and overcomes the very many obstacles and chal‐ lenges of living with this condi‐ tion every day. In a collection of personal testimonies from families and their support team they un‐ derline the sadness and frus‐ tration felt due to the lack of support they receive from the
National Health Service and the shortage of funding for re‐ search. On International Butterfly Skin Day, they appealed for a public response to ensure that the charity can continue to of‐ fer medical and social support and to help with funding for the development of a cure.

A true inspiration OCTOBER marks breast can‐ cer awareness month. One figure who should be recog‐ nised for her bravery and charity work during this time is Wendy Garro. Throughout the month, Wendy bravely decided to speak up about her own bat‐ tle with breast cancer. This culminated in a photo shoot on ‘Think Pink Day’ on Octo‐ ber 15 in which she showed off her scars. The project was carried out by Wendy and the Mayor’s Office in Gibraltar. As well as raising aware‐ ness, Wendy also highlighted the vulnerable side of the dis‐ ease to show anyone who is currently also going through the same, that they are not alone. Wendy revealed her moti‐ vations for the photo shoot:
WENDY GARRO: Choosing to live without reconstruction.
“I want to raise awareness for Breast Cancer, and to show that choosing to live without reconstruction is al‐ so a valid choice. It is not the only choice, of course, but it can be a positive option if medical reasons rule out re‐ construction, or a woman decides she does not want
further surgery.” Wendy has been fundrais‐ ing throughout the last month and has raised nearly £10k for Breast Cancer Sup‐ port Gibraltar (BCSG). Her work and bravery has served as a reminder to the commu‐ nity to be breast aware and that BCSG are there if anyone
needs any help. BCSG are a local group, launched in June 2007, along with the Breast Screening Programme in Gibraltar. The charity is com‐ mitted to campaigning for the improvement of Breast Care Services in Gibraltar and hopes to improve the experi‐ ence of those affected by breast cancer. The Charity supports health professionals and the Gibraltar Health Au‐ thority (GHA). You can contact the BCSG via telephone on +350 58008944 or email at info@breastcancergib.com.

Man rescued in Benahavis OFFICERS attached to the San Pedro Alcan‐ tara Fire Department rescued a 43‐year‐old man from San Se‐ bastien who had be‐ come stuck in the Las Angosturas de Bena‐ havis Canyon. The alert was received at 3.30pm on October 19 and a five strong team met up with members of the Local Police and Guardia Civil who were already in place. Also present was the companion of the in‐ jured man who had managed to climb out by herself and was then able to make the emer‐ gency call. The officers could see the man perched on a rock about 300 metres from the exit of the canyon, who appeared to be displaying symptoms of mild hypothermia and with limited movement capacity, but without serious injuries. The four firefighters, wearing wetsuits, de‐ scended by ropes with a stretcher and re‐ moved him safely after about an hour. It appeared that he was not suffering from any major injury but because he was a dia‐ betic, he may have suf‐ fered cramps and once he had some warm clothes and food, he re‐ covered completely.

They’ve also been do‐ ing loads in food banks on the Costa del Sol.” Ricky Lavazza also told the EWN why he was get‐ ting involved with the charity. He said: “This is my first time performing for Collective Calling. I do other charity work and have been on the coast for 16 years but Collec‐ tive Calling does such a good job helping those who need it most. “We can all give a little to people who need it more.”

Voicemail life saver MANY of us rely on our mobile phones for a huge variety of things in daily life, including safe‐ ty and even directions when hiking or walking. However, when a phone battery dies or signal is lost, they are rendered pretty much useless. A Facebook post has pointed out a clever way that can let people know your location or situation, even when
the battery dies or sig‐ nal is lost. If you notice your mobile phone is ei‐ ther low on juice or has no signal, here is a tip that may very well save your life. “Change the voicemail on your phone to a mes‐ sage that gives your ap‐ proximate location, the time, the date, your sit‐ uation (lost, out of petrol, car broken down, injured etc) and
any special instructions such as whether you are staying with the car or are walking towards a town etc.” “The best part of this is that even if your mo‐ bile phone dies or stops working, voicemail still works, so anyone calling your phone looking for you will hear the mes‐ sage and know where to find you or where to send help.”
Pandemic prompts healthy eating T H E ongoing coronavirus pandem‐ ic has prompted people to be more concerned about their health and diet. Around 86 per cent of Spaniards have become more con‐ cerned about their diet since the pandemic began than Germans, the British, the French and other nationalities. A staggering 63 per cent of Spaniards are aiming to ‘eat
healthier’ than they did before the pandemic began. Other European nations are concerned too, but not to the same extent. Many people in Spain believe that a good diet will help protect them from the coronavirus The healthy eating trend has been growing for some time, but the pandemic has caused a boom in healthy eating.

Expats outrage over politicians’ masks
BRITISH expats in Spain have expressed their anger over UK politicians who do not wear a mask in the Houses of Parliament. The Euro Weekly News asked readers whether they thought MPs should be forced to wear masks in par‐ liament and an overwhelm‐ ing 88.2 per cent said they should as infections are rising in the UK. Just 11.8 per cent said it was up to politicians whether they wore a mask. Taking to Facebook, many readers shared their reasons why they thought politicians should wear masks.
One reader, Rita Vost, said: “Yes. They are indoors and less than 1.5 metres from buddies!” Meanwhile, Bill Stewart said: “Yes, they should set an example.” Micky Moses added: “Yes, as they do here Spain.” Politicians faced criticism after a number of Tory MPs were seen in the House of Commons without face masks on Thursday, October 21, even after Sajid Javid’s pleas for them to “lead by ex‐ ample.” The Health Secretary ap‐ peared at a press conference
urging the public to wear face masks in crowds, try to meet people outdoors or in well‐ ventilated areas and take reg‐ ular lateral flow tests due to soaring Covid cases in the UK. The FT’s Seb Payne asked Javid during the press confer‐ ence about Tory MPs ap‐ pearing in the Commons without wearing masks, with Javid admitting Payne had a “very fair point” and that MPs should “set an exam‐ ple.” However, the majority of MPs were later seen in the chamber without face masks.

TESTIMONIAL Here at Euro Weekly News, we love to feel we are Number One. But it’s easy to say it ourselves - what gives us even more pleasure is when our clients say it for us! I WOULD like to give a posi‐ tive 5* review , please for a member of your staff. Alison Steele, one of your office managers in advertising, has been amazing! I only have a small independent business, having left the UK in April to set up as autonomo, helping parents with small children overcome the struggles of parenthood. As I am only ‘small fry’ I never imagined that anyone in the advertising depart‐ ment would be able to give me any time at all. However, since I first had contact with Alison back in June, she has made me feel as if I’m book‐ ing the whole of the front page! She’s made me feel as if nothing is more important than getting my advert right and drawing clients. She’s given advice about the struc‐ ture of the ad and has en‐
deavoured to ensure I get the best I can for my budget. Not only has she made me feel my custom is important, but that my business is im‐ portant. I’ve never felt that her pri‐ mary focus is just the money, but rather in the good job she’s trying to do. I would like formally to thank her for what she’s done and to en‐ sure her senior colleagues are aware of the way she is
contributing to the publica‐ tion. I wasn’t, for various rea‐ sons, going to renew the ad, but Alison’s proactive and encouraging approach have ensured that I have, and with renewed confidence in the worth of the ads. She is an asset to your publication and I hope she gets the recogni‐ tion she deserves. Thank you all. Janette Bremner, Maat‐ family

No further investment in electric cars THE Euro Weekly News has asked its readers whether they think companies should be investing more in developing electric cars and 100 per cent said they should not. Speaking about why car companies should not be putting more money into im‐ proving the vehicles, one reader said there were not enough places to charge cars in Spain. Jill Swain said: “Not until there are enough charging points.” Last week Ford an‐ nounced it will invest £230 million in a Merseyside transmission factory to up‐ grade it to make compo‐ nents for electric vehicles. The US carmaker’s invest‐ ment will help maintain about 500 jobs at the plant in Halewood, Knowsley, which currently makes trans‐ mission systems for petrol and diesel vehicles.
UK Government support worth about £30 million will be given to Ford, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. Halewood will be Ford’s first electric vehicle compo‐ nent in‐house assembly site in Europe, with production beginning in 2024 ‐ and the move safeguards hundreds of jobs. By 2024 the lines at the factory will be expected to produce 250,000 electric drive units, components that include electric motors and power electronics, yearly. Ford has committed to having all its passenger vehi‐ cles as all‐electric and two‐ thirds of its commercial vehi‐ cle sales all‐electric or plug‐in hybrid by 2030.

ple about using cards and QR codes of an unknown origin. The police commented: “Some of you have asked us about similar cards with a QR code. This QR code, in particular when scanned, leads to a commercial portal without any danger in terms of ‘security’.” The National Police warned: “However, if we scan a QR code and we don’t know if it is trustworthy, it can lead us to infectious sites and put our devices at risk. So, you know, be wary of those you get your hands on in this way and especially those that appear alone and posted in public places.”

The group, called Wether‐ spoons Paltry Chip Count, has over 40,000 members across the UK, with mem‐ bers posting images of their dinners complete with mea‐ surements of chip lengths and the number of chips served with meals. Some diners have shared how they have been served as little as 10 chips with meals such as mixed grills,
steaks and paninis, with some even being served processed cheese slices on top. Group admins do a weekly round‐up of the number of chips members have been served. Member Thomas William wrote: “76 meals with a chip count and 16 extra portions of chips were posted this week. These account for a whopping 2,550 chips which were served to you lovely contributors.” One dedicated chip expert even brought scales with him
to weigh his portion, discov‐ ering his chips weighed 189g, approximately 7.27g per chip. He wrote: “Partner would‐ n’t let me take scales in yes‐ terday, but he’s at work late, so managed to sneak them into Sir Henry Tate Chorley.” Another said they’d been waiting for years to discuss their measly chip portions writing: “Been waiting al‐ most seven years for this group.

and ecologists. This breed of sheep used to ex‐ ist on the marshy lowlands of the Guadalquivir River. But the marshes decreased from 150,000 hectares (370,000 acres) to less than 30,000 and the sheep were pushed out by humans. Few farmers were interested in the animals.
Retired vet Antonio Siles said: “This breed produces only enough milk to feed her off‐ spring, the wool is of poor quali‐ ty and its meat isn’t particularly good because it was never bred for that.” Today, there are around 400 Churra Lebrijana sheep in An‐ dalucia.

Animal ID IN 2022 it will be mandato‐ ry for your dog or cat in Spain to have an animal ID as the General Directorate of Animal Rights plans to implement a DNI for pets. The new Law on Protec‐ tion and Rights of Animals includes several measures such as taking a mandatory course to own a dog, the prohibition of the sacrifice of companion animals and the end of pet purchases to encourage adoption. Among these proposed measures is also the obtain‐ ing of an animal DNI. The objective of the Gen‐ eral Directorate of Animal Rights for the creation of this DNI for pets, which will be mandatory from 2022, is to have a national database. Ione Belarra, Minister of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, explained that it is necessary to have all pets identified to “ensure that we move on the right path and in a model where no animal is left to its own devices in Spain.”
TOLL-FREE roads in Spain will become a thing of the past by 2024. The minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez, confirmed on October 19 that drivers will have to pay to use the high‐ ways from 2024. The introduction of the toll is based on the State’s need to seek new resources to pay for public services. Currently, the construction and maintenance of non‐toll roads is paid for through General State Budgets. In 2022, €1.371 billion will be al‐ located for the services, creating

However, of that amount, on‐ ly €2.5 billion actually corre‐ sponded to state‐owned roads. This network has an extension of 26,466 kms, half of them are high capacity roads and 52 per cent of the total traffic and 64 per cent of lorries use them.
Short story winner hailed THE BBC national short story award winner has been decided for this year with the ‘mas‐ terful’ Lucy Caldwell scooping the prize. The story, named ‘All the People Were Mean and Bad,’ has been hailed for its portrayal of par‐ enthood, marriage and a vision into an alter‐ nate life. In the story, the main character is a mother in charge of keeping her daughter en‐ tertained through a transatlantic flight. The title comes from a storybook being read to the discomforted child. “All the people, it says, were mean and bad. Except for Noah. Noah was good, and because he was good, God saved him.”
The mother hates the book but is very aware of all the people around her, particular‐ ly an older man who is sitting next to the pair. He assures her that everything is ok, and from there the story grows. Caldwell says: “I wanted to write about the distance between where we come from and where we end up; between who we think we are and who we turn out to be. Between what we dream, and what we do.” The book beat works by Rory Gleeson, Georgina Harding, Danny Rhodes and Richard Smyth to win the prize, which is worth £15,000.

Migrant restrictions eased SPAIN is to ease restrictions on young migrants. The new rule changes will make it easier for them to legalise their status. The amendments were revealed on Tuesday October 19. It is expected the new rules will benefit around 15,000 migrants. The new rules will see Spain make it easier for young migrants who are unaccompanied to stay in the country. It will be easier for them to gain residence and work permits. At the moment young migrants are only enti‐ tled to documents after nine months. The new rules mean that this will drop to three months. Previously to gain a residence permit and keep it
they had to show sufficient income. The new rules mean that unaccompanied children will only have to prove an income of €470 a month from a social security support programme. Non‐governmental organisations (NGOs) have been pressuring the government to make changes for years. According to the Spanish gov‐ ernment, the new rules will help migrants inte‐ grate into Spanish society. As reported by the United Nations, more than 30,000 migrants have made their way to Spain this year already. This number is dramati‐ cally higher than that seen in the same period last year.
Names for heatwaves
THE city of Sevilla has an‐ nounced plans to become the first major city in the world to begin naming heatwaves, in the same way tropical storms are named in other parts of the world. This is due to begin in 2022. The mayor of Sevilla, Juan Espadas, said on October 18 he is proud that Sevilla will be tak‐ ing this step, hoping that other cities around the world will also take on the idea. The city is one of the hottest regions in Spain. Espadas said: “Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent and devastating as a direct effect from climate change. Local governments should address the threat heat poses to our populations, par‐ ticularly the most vulnerable, by raising awareness of heat‐ health related hazards through
evidence‐based data and sci‐ ence.” The city will be collaborating with the Atlantic Council, Spain’s meteorological agency, the Spanish Agency for Climate Change and two universities to come up with a system. The categorising of heat‐ waves will be based on the im‐
pact they have on health and will also assist the city’s disaster and emergency planning. If a heatwave is classed as especial‐ ly hot and dangerous to health, categorising it would lead to Sevilla opening more air condi‐ tioning shelters or adding extra staff in emergency rooms in hospitals.

GO LOCAL
THE EURO WEEKLY NEWS has urged its readers to support lo‐ cal businesses in the communi‐ ty by shopping locally in recent times. Now things are heading back to normal, we challenge you to maintain that habit by supporting local high streets, markets, butchers, greengro‐ cers and all of the wonderful‐ ly quirky independent busi‐ nesses in your area. Local businesses make our villages, towns and cities what they are. They add unique character. They are convenient. And they offer excellent produce from known suppliers. The joy of shopping locally means that independent businesses can support the local community. You may find something a euro or two cheaper on‐ line but have you considered where your money is actually going? By shopping locally you’re putting food on a local family’s table and there is nothing better than giving back to the communities that have given us so much. Local stores sup‐ port charities and they sponsor local sports teams. In many cases, they are much more than just a business, they’re a legacy. They may have sup‐ ported generations of the same fami‐ ly. Likewise, brand new local stores
and bars may help the gen‐ erations of the future fulfil their dreams and ambitions. Remember, your local store is go‐ ing up against multinationals and chains. They can’t win that battle on their own. So give them your sup‐ port. Spending your money locally will make a real difference to the lo‐ cal economy.

UK borrowing down UK Government borrowing fell in September compared with a year earlier as the economy continued to recover from coronavirus lockdowns according to the Office for National Statistics. The need to borrow was particularly high during 2020, as so many people were on furlough and businesses were in many cases suspended but even so, the figure is still the second-highest for September since monthly records began in 1993. The amount borrowed stands at £21.8 billion which is around 25 per cent (£7 billion) less than in September 2020.

US punitive import duties terminated GREAT news for Britain and Spain as the US Government terminates punitive import duties imposed due to threats to tax companies like Amazon and Google. In fact, the United States has reached an agreement with Austria, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom regarding the treatment of Digital Services Taxes (DSTs) during the interim period prior to full imple‐ mentation of Pillar 1 of the Organisa‐ tion for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) agreement. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) Am‐
bassador Katherine Tai congratulat‐ ed all concerned in reaching a his‐ toric understanding which will mean that there will be a levelling of the corporate tax playing field. “In coordination with Treasury, we will work together with these governments to ensure implemen‐ tation of the agreement and rollback of existing DSTs when Pillar 1 enters into effect the Ambassador said. Adding “We will also continue to oppose the implementation of uni‐ lateral digital services taxes by other trading partners.” The USTR is proceeding with the

How to divide profits? We are about to dissolve our Community of Property Owners and sell the building. But we have a dispute over the division of the proceeds. At pre‐ sent we are charging members all the same community fees regardless of the size of their property. The properties range from 90 to 200 square metres, but they all pay the same fee. This is clearly unfair to the smaller units and over the years the members have requested a change. This has been refused by the administrator and by one member who holds nine proxy votes. They argue that to force a change a unanimous agreement is necessary. What can we do? P C (Costa Blanca) Your ad‐ DAVID SEARL ministrator YOU AND THE LAW is correct when he IN SPAIN says that it takes a vote of 100 per cent to change the original charter, the Escritura de Constitu‐ cion, of your community. However it is impossible that your original charter contains the provision that each unit pays the same, regardless of size. No Notary would per‐ mit this because it is in fact contrary to the Horizontal law, which specifies that fees must be based on the square metres of the flat. It must have been added later by a vote. This means you can change it by majority vote in the AGM. Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana and Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.
formal steps required for terminat‐ ing the Section 301 trade actions, and in coordination with Treasury, will monitor implementation of the agreement going forward. For the last few months, all sides had agreed to suspend the duties whilst a formal agreement was de‐ bated. This means that Americans will be able to enjoy Scotch Whisky and Spanish olives without being made to pay high retaliatory import duties on these and a number of other goods from the countries who have now agreed terms.

Wooden bicycle IF you fancy a project which may or may not actually have a long‐term use but will certainly make you think about sustainability, visit the Facebook page of Spanish architects Aquimaña. They have come up with the concept of a wooden bike and have four different blueprints which you can download free of charge through an open‐source programme. Once you have the plans, you are welcome to modify them and share on the site and then get busy producing the bicycle by hand or using a 3D printer if you have one available. It’s a project that will at‐ tract quite a few, if only to see how long the bike will last before the rain gets to it.
UK inflation ALTHOUGH UK pension‐ ers are due to receive a 3.2 per cent increase next April, the Bank of England (BOE) believes that inflation in the UK c o n t i n u e s t o h e a d u p‐ wards. The Bank of England Governor has already warned that it will have to act on inflation when it next holds its interest rate‐setting meeting on November 4 as it appears that in‐ flation could hit 4 per cent. However according to a BBC report, BOE new chief economist Huw Pil has indicated that he wouldn’t be surprised if inflation hit 5 per cent in the New Year.
The price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high THE price of Bitcoin hit a fresh all‐time high for the first time in over six months on the morning of Wednes‐ day, October 20, as investors rallied around the blockbuster debut of the first‐ever bitcoin cryptocurrency fu‐ tures exchange‐traded fund. The price of bitcoin jumped more
than 4 per cent to $66,140 surpassing a record high of about $64,800 set on April 14, although it has lost some ground since then. The record comes after a very posi‐ tive October for bitcoin as it began the month valued at around $43,000, gain‐ ing almost half its price over again
since then. With this latest boost, bit‐ coin prices skyrocketed by nearly 20 per cent during that week amid fer‐ vour for the debut of the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which posted roughly $1 billion in volume and rose 4.7 per cent during its first day of trad‐ ing on Tuesday, October 19.
The first‐ever Bitcoin futures ex‐ change‐traded fund launched in the US in what was touted as a major milestone for the crypto industry that could push it to new record highs as it offers a more regulated structure for traditional investors, through plat‐ forms they are more familiar with.

Multi-billion-pound bid for Morrisons approved
Credit: Morrisons Media Centre
DEAL ACCEPTED: No Halloween shocks for Morrisons shareholders.
THE multi‐billion‐pound bid for Morrisons accepted by shareholders as Clayton, Du‐ bilier & Rice (CD&R) were de‐ clared acceptable auction winners. Their bid of £7 billion plus the acceptance of several bil‐ lion in debts proved convinc‐ ingly attractive to those shareholders who bothered to vote and all will receive the full £2.87p per share (1p more than offered by rival bidders Fortress) once the deal moves forward. Former CEO of Tesco, Sir Terry Leahy was the lead ad‐ visor to US investment com‐ pany CD&R and his track record at Britain’s most suc‐ cessful supermarket was sec‐ ond to none, so it is assumed that he will join the Mor‐ risons Board once the deal is completed. Both he and current Mor‐ risons Chairman Andrew Hig‐ ginson expressed their thanks to shareholders and confirmed that they believed
that this would result in a sig‐ nificant step forward for the supermarket and assured voters that they would pro‐ tect the heritage of the UK’s fourth largest supermarket. Shareholders had reacted negatively to CD&R’s initial bid of £5.5 billion with cor‐ porate investors saying that they believed the bid seri‐ ously undervalued the com‐ pany, which would appear to be the case as the accept‐ ed offer is £1.5 billion high‐ er. There have been some fears that the Morrisons’ pension fund would not be adequately protected if the company was to be taken over by a US investor, but CD&R have given assurances that there will be no signifi‐ cant changes. As Britain suffers from a problem of importation of many items caused appar‐ ently by Brexit, Morrisons stands as one of the largest owners of meat, fruit and

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT THIS is a difficult piece to scribe because I am well aware that its publication will result in a whole Tsunami of racist accusations. What I need to make clear at the outset is that my reason for focusing on this subject is that I utterly abhor any form of racism. I also believe that it is emphatically not all a one way street. Quite frankly, with the unchallenged reversed racism in the UK now bordering on the ridiculous, somebody has to say something. Thankfully, I can at least voice my opinions without the fear of arrest. Believe me, if it wasn’t for the threat of that particular fate, and possibly even worse, a whole multitude of the British Caucasian populace would be screaming their disapproval from the rooftops. With both black and ethnic citizens combined only accounting for 18 per cent of the population, many white people have told me they are actually becoming confused and utterly depressed with the whole disproportionate state of affairs.
Falling apart
This month the reversed racist policies have reached totally new levels of unacceptability. Not only is the UK still being gaslighted by the number of black actors on TV and the continuing BLM pre‐match kneeling ritual, but they are expected to abide another, completely superfluous, black history month (This year I would have liked to have seen a white history month, where all predominantly ethnic minority schools were taught the true history of the country that nurtures them). ‘A Thousand Years a Slave’ has been rammed down the viewer’s throats with even more tenacity than the ‘Twelve.’ The Stephen Lawrence trial aired yet again. TV presentations ‘Peckham’s Finest’ and ‘Sistas’, both aired with all‐black cast. And the Stones massive hit ‘Brown Sugar’ was dropped. This constant effort to make the white populace feel bad for their historical associations with slavery also needs more clarification. White countries also experienced slavery for thousands of years. The Romans cast
masses of white people into slavery. The Egyptians used hundreds of thousands of slaves to build the pyramids. I don’t see people tearing down statues of Julius Caesar or desecrating the Sphinx! This agenda is emerging from a disgruntled group of people, who aspire to blame everyone but themselves for their ancestors’ turbulent history. Today, Africa’s infrastructure is once again falling apart. If people are all so proud of their heritage, perhaps it would be more constructive to concentrate on helping to put their ancestral lands in order. Now that truly would be worth taking the knee for.

Island of the Gods
WHEN you visit the Cies Islands (Las Islas Cies) off the coast of Galicia in Spain for the first time you’ll understand why the Romans once called them the Island of the Gods. They have an otherworldly feel that leaves you mesmerised the moment you step onto their shores. The archipelago can be accessed by boat from various locations around the Rias Baixas estuary including Vigo, Cangas and Baiona. Along with the islands of Ons, Salvora and Cortegada, they form part of the Galician Atlantic Islands Maritime-Terrestrial National Park. The islands boast a wealth of plant and animal life and some of the finest beaches in the country. In fact, the Playa de Rodas was once described as the ‘best beach in the world’ by the Guardian newspaper, an
honour that appears on many of the tourist leaflets. The island has no permanent residents and you can only stay overnight on one of the ready-made camping plots which are always in great demand. However, there are ferries back and forth all day so you can bring your beachwear and spend all day relaxing on the golden sands. There are also a couple of excellent restaurants serving a range of local and national dishes. The island is a haven for birdwatchers and there are nature trails leading you to the prime spots on the islands. The unspoilt landscape is spectacular at every turn and will leave you breathless. The weather can be unpredictable but that’s all part of the magic of one of Spain’s greatest treasures.

#TheWomanBeyond EVER wondered why your greatest goals or visions don’t happen? Gabriele Oettingen, world‐class researcher and psychologist has spent her career studying the science of making your dreams come to life. In her book Rethinking Positive Thinking, which by the way, is one of my most fave books ever, she tells us that it’s simply not enough to put your wishes and wants out there, ‘Law of Attraction’ style. The book tells us that Positive Thinking, can actually be a hinderance to achieving our goals ‐ WHAT? ‐ I don’t know about you, when I first read that, I was kind of disappointed!! The good news is, Gabriele tells us it’s really very important to start with a vision of our ide‐ al lives, creating a Vision, is a powerful start. BUT the trick, then, is we need to ‘rub it up against reality.’ She created a tool called ‘WOOP’ to help us make our dreams a reality. Here’s how it works: W is for Wish
FEATURE
RETHINKING POSITIVE THINKING - WOOP YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS O is for Outcome O is for Obstacles P is for Plan Seriously. This is such a great tool, I use this almost every day, it’s great for BIG Life Goals or Business Plans, it’s so good as a coaching tool or to use with your next team meeting (also works wonders for Husbands and Kids!!), or, and I do this too, a two‐minute WOOP in the shower, sets you up fabulously for your day. So, let’s have a go, start with Wish. What do you really want in life? If you could wave a wand and create anything, what would you see? Think of the most important goal in your life right now. What is it? Wave a wand. Everything goes perfectly. What do you achieve? Capture that in a few words. That’s your wish. Now, think about the Outcome you’ll expe‐ rience when that Wish is present. (to be hon‐ est, I think ‘Benefits’ is better here but WBOP isn’t quite as fab as WOOP, ha, ha?)
Think of all the benefits achieving that wish will bring to you. See it. FEEL IT. It’s super im‐ portant that you’re really lit up about it. Once we’ve got that super focused, it’s time to rub it up against reality. What Obstacles will you face? You’ve got to KNOW you’re going to face obstacles and KNOW you have what it takes to get over/un‐ der/around them. Embrace reality so you can prepare properly and get to work on creating the reality you want. Once we’ve identified the Obstacles, we need to create our Plan. The heart of this is something Gabriele calls ‘implementation intentions’ ‐ which are a ge‐ nius way to anticipate challenges and deal with them in advance. If ‘x’ happens, then I will do ‘y’. What’s your plan to deal with the obstacles so you can experience the benefits of bringing your wish to life? As I said I WOOP everything and this is the most popular Tool in my Visionary Women
Programme ‐ my clients love it too. The Science has proven: WOOP! Works. Stay Focused, Keep Positive and Choose to +1 in Every Moment. Fulfil Your Dreams and Awaken Your Greatness! PS.

WHAT DID THE ROMANS EVER DO FOR 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
WHEN some years back a tractor driver dug up pieces of brightly coloured stone in a field in the Castilla‐La Mancha region of Spain little did he realise he had hit up‐ on a Roman ‘billionaire’s villa’ with exquisite mosaics built 17 centuries ago. A ‘billionaire’ with connections to Theo‐ dosius I, Roman emperor in the fourth century ‐ decorative paintings, sculptures and ornaments, further evidence of the owner’s wealth. The Romans were in Spain for hundreds of years, so no wonder their remains have been found. Andalucia, in particular, is rich with Roman sites, from hidden paths to entire towns. All right, I hear you say, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
ROMAN REMAINS: Throughout Spain.
Well, peace for a start. There was a greater degree of law and order than in many countries outside the empire plus trading advantages. I remember reading somewhere that one German tribe want‐ ed to be part of the empire, but the Ro‐ mans thought they were troublemakers and wanted to keep them out.
So the tribe actually went to war with Rome to ‘compel’ the Romans to accept them. Needless to say, the Germans didn’t win! Watch the movie ‘Gladiator’. That’s how the movie begins: with the ‘genius’ Marcus Aurelius’s battle with the Ger‐ mans. Mostly true as well, that bit. (Though
maybe not the bit about being a genius ‐ I, err, made that up.) But it is true that I know all too well what it’s like to be la‐ belled a genius. I once completed a jigsaw in under five minutes ‐ on the box it read five to seven years! Finally, on a completely different note, many thanks to all of you who’ve pur‐ chased my latest thriller, ‘The Sentinel’, now available in audiobook format narrat‐ ed as before by my good friend Rayner Bourton who created the role of ‘Rocky’ in the original London production of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ (all profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity, as you know). Happy reading and listening! Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Sentinel’, ‘No Safe Place’, ‘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‐johnson.net) available online as eBook (€0.99; £0.99), Apple Books, pa‐ perback and audiobook.

It’s been a clear out week MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION
Views of a Grumpy Old Man THIS week we decided to have a massive sort out and clear out all the drawers, cupboards, crates and even the storeroom. I say we, what I actually mean is Mrs S said, “you sit there and I’m going to bury you in papers, wires, things with plugs on, cameras, phones, DVDs, CDs and boxes and boxes of greetings cards going back over 40 years.” So five days later I’ve nearly finished and I have to tell you it’s brutal. I found a card with Sarah’s hand print and some writing on it which I have a sneaky suspicion might not have been hers as she was only six months old and this is why it’s taken five days - the cards, the memories - I found the ones that said all our love Mum and Dad, then they changed to all my love Mum, then they stopped all together. I found cards from people I have absolutely no idea who they are or were. In the end I just got rid of them all except the immediate family ones. I couldn’t throw them away and I don’t know why. Please tell me you all keep them too. Nokia phones, Motorolas, Samsung old
laptops, what do you do with them? Hundreds of CDs that I can’t play, all purchased for fortunes, but nothing can be done with them. I tried to burn them to a ‘stick’ so I could listen to them in the car but, of course, they are all protected so you can’t officially do anything with them. I’ve looked online but haven’t found a way yet. Any help or hints would be appreciated. Here’s another great snippet of news that caught my eye this week. Miss France beauty pageant is being sued for judging contestants on their appearance! Please make this absolute craziness stop and tell me what you are meant to judge it on? Woodworking skills? OK time to get rid of these damn electric scooters. I wrote about this when they first appeared a few years ago and came up against some opposition because the companies that sold them were big advertisers everywhere. Well things have got worse and it’s time to totally ban them. I understand there are some new rules and laws about them, but what you can’t legislate for is the absolute idiots that refuse to abide by any highway codes or manners. Scrap them all or make them have registration numbers, insurance and pay road tax. Email: mikesenker@gmail.com

Face yoga MOST of know stretching exer‐ cises such as pilates and yoga can promise impressive results, from toned muscles and glow‐ ing skin to extra flexibility. But did you know you can now fake your way to that post‐ yoga glow, using a technique one make‐up artist is calling ‘Yo‐ ga Skin’? Renowned make‐up artist Sara Hill, who has worked with the likes of Rosie Huntington‐ Whitely and Grace Jones, said the trend for facial massage is the neweset and biggest beauty innovation and is the key to ‘hy‐ per‐dewy, real skin.’ Hill says her technique, which has already amassed more than 98,000 views online, uses a mixture of different products combined with facial massage to create, ‘plump, fresh, pinchable skin, it’s irresistible.’ She describes the finished result as giving you a ‘glow that looks as fresh and juicy as if you’ve just stepped out of a yoga studio.’ The make‐up artists’ nine‐ step technique begins by cleans‐ ing and prepping their skin as
normal before applying a small layer of silicone‐free primer and allowing it to sink in. Next, mix three or four drops of a water‐based, medium cov‐ erage foundation with one drop of facial oil and one drop of strobe cream of liquid high‐ lighter. Hill claims for an extra gleam, you can add in one small drop of a glow product. Next, begin massaging the mixture into your skin using warm hands. This helps to get the circulation flowing, which in turn relaxes the face, helps with lymphatic drainage and helps your make‐up base sit better. Hill recommends building up coverage of the mixture until you are happy with the look, leaving a few minutes between layers to allow it to settle in. Fi‐ nally, add a small amount of concealer to any areas which need extra coverage, for exam‐ ple under the eyes, around the nostrils or over blemishes. Sara told the MailOnline, “this look celebrates real skin in its natural beauty and we think it’s a great look for winter, adding

layers of hydration to dry skin.” She added it is possible to finish off the look with a natural finish, explaining, “you can lightly pow‐ der to set concealer, or set your face overall with powder, using a small fluffy brush or a puff ‐ just remember to keep the powder to a minimum so the look stays sheer.” She went on, “add cream blush and cream bronzer for a really healthy, fresh glow. If you want to finish the look with a setting spray, make sure it’s an alcohol‐free formula to add further hydra‐ tion to the skin.”

Halloween in Estepona ESTEPONA Council will cel‐ ebrate Halloween on Sun‐ day October 31, from 8pm to midnight, with a party in the municipal booth at the fairground with a free par‐ ty. Suitable for a family audi‐ ence, the councillor respon‐ sible has indicated that the municipal booth will change its usual appear‐ ance to give way to ‘beings from beyond the grave and ghostly’, and that it will be filled with colourful cos‐ tumes, pumpkins, skele‐ tons, mummies and other decorative elements, that will take attendees to ‘the land of the most exciting and fun nightmares.’ Although a terrifying pro‐ gramme it will be great fun for the whole family whose members must attend in
costume in order to enjoy a performance by the Malpa‐ so band as well as experi‐ encing a night full of music, dance and cinema, as well as DJ Michael Thin, with a screen full of video clips. Among the activities or‐ ganised for this event, a zombie dance show has been prepared, by the modern dance students of Laura and Sara Perea and another attraction will be the municipal theatre group Farándula, whose ac‐ tors will bring an atmo‐ sphere of fear with their passage of terror. The Council will raffle several collections of fanta‐ sy and horror movies com‐ piled by the Cultural and Cinematographic Associa‐ tion of the Costa del Sol, ‘Unicorn’.

Avoid taking them out‐ side when they’re going off. If there’s no way to avoid it, use a good lead to ensure a panicked pet can’t get loose. Try not to leave pets home alone and reduce noise by keeping doors and windows closed. A calm attitude is vital and never shout as this worsens fear. While noise lasts, don’t cuddle or calm, remain im‐ passive and act as if noth‐ ing is wrong. Once noise

Get puppies used to this type of noise as soon as possible to avoid life‐long phobias. If all else fails, speak to a vet as drugs and methods using pheromones can help.
Autumn pet health AUTUMN’S here, bringing weather changes mean‐ ing dog owners need to pay extra attention to their pets’ health. Follow these tips to help prevent is‐ sues: ‐ Keep protecting against para‐ sites. Although there’s less parasites, benign autumns and winters are becoming the norm. Remember damp + heat = parasites. ‐ Use a dog raincoat to keep it dry on walks and dry it off well once home to keep parasites at bay. ‐ Watch their skin and coat. Some hair loss may be normal but bald patches or skin problems should be checked out by a vet. KEEP DRY: Prevention is best.

CLAIRE GORDON FINDING BALANCE IN AN UNEVEN WORLD HI, I’m Claire and I’ve been given free rein to write what I like in a newspaper printed 134,000 times. If it sounds amazing, it’s because it is! I couldn’t be happier that I have this opportunity to connect with so many people. I’m also apprehensive because putting your words out there for others to read comes with a lot of responsibility. You have to make sure you believe in what you say, go with what you know, and admit that there are things that you don’t really know about at all. We all do have things that we don’t know about or understand, but the best thing we can do is keep an open mind and try to see things from other people’s points of view. We also have to be careful with how our words impact others and be ready to receive criticism if our views don’t align with everyone we meet. It’s ok to change your mind when presented with new information. It’s ok to say you don’t know enough about a subject to form a proper
It’s good to listen! opinion, and it is definitely ok to disagree on things. But when someone tells us our words are harmful, we have to take a step back and assess the situation. I was brought up to be kind. I’m sure a lot of us were and I know a lot of us would never purposefully try to hurt someone else. Sometimes though, no matter how we try to avoid it, we can hurt others with our words. When we do, it is so easy for us to feel stung because we feel like we’ve been misunderstood. We never meant any harm so it’s upsetting that someone would take our words in that way, right? Well, yes, but the thing is at that moment it isn’t about our feelings, it is about the other person and we need to listen to them. What definitely doesn’t need to happen is for people to become defensive or try to walk out of the conversation, like the incident with Jim Davidson and Ashley Banjo. Davidson made some remarks on Diversity’s Black Lives Matter dance routine. Banjo then invited him to come
and speak about them. After being told his views were ‘inherently racist’, during the talk, Davidson stormed out angrily. Banjo said “I am disappointed because it was an opportunity for us to sit and really engage in a discussion.” A constructive opportunity wasted due to a person not wanting to sit and either defend their words, or gain more information and maybe change their mind. All because they didn’t want to be critiqued. Free speech is the right to hold an opinion and voice it. It is not a card that means we don’t have to then deal with the ramifications of what we have said. So if someone wants to talk to us about how our words have hurt them, the decent thing to do is listen. Join me again next week and remeber - believe in what you say!

ANYONE who follows my television programme ‘Marbella Now’, aired daily on RTV Marbella and available online, will know that I find our local community inspiring. So many people who dedicate their free time ‐ and not so free time ‐ to helping others; either in groups, or in‐ dependently. It can be quite upset‐ ting nonetheless to realise how many worthy causes there are, all needing our support and assistance. This is why it makes it so heart‐warming to see that so many members of our lo‐ cal community get up and do some‐ thing to try and help, even though it can be quite a challenge. No good deed goes unpunished as they say… However, as life is yin and yang, yay or nay, it really is up to us to accept the negative or put our own positive spin on the situation; somehow. Such is the case with the Adana dog shelter in Estepona. Following the lit‐ erally devastating fires in the Sierra Bermeja in September their shelter, where over 100 dogs were housed at the time was severely damaged. The whole area has been devastated with 10,000 hectares of land, flora and fau‐ na destroyed in the flames.
MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING
Magic of the Alhambra INTEREST in domestic travel has risen this year as residents in Spain look to holiday at home rather than travel abroad and deal with the various restrictions in place. This has given people the chance to rediscover some of the wonderful locations right on their doorsteps. One site that it is difficult to tire of visiting is Granada’s Alhambra Palace. The fortress is one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations but in recent times, locals have had the opportunity to enjoy the architectural magnificence without the usual crowds. The Alhambra offers an incredible mix of styles with its Islamic art and design coupled with the later Renaissance inspired work of Pedro Machuca, the man behind the imposing Palace of King Charles V. The Alhambra and its gardens offer plenty of reasons to return and the building can be enjoyed
from other parts of the city. Most notably, from the Mirador de San Nicolas located in the cobbled streets of the Albayzin neighbourhood. The site is one of the most popular in Granada and was visited by US President Bill Clinton in 1997. Often packed with tourists and buzzing with the sound of live flamenco, the viewpoint offers aweinspiring views of the palace against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In these times of limited travel, it’s good to remember the jewels that lie on our doorsteps.
Going to the dogs
An ever smiling Selina Mackenzie, joyous even before knowing how much money was raised! Only thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers could an evacuation plan be put into place to get the dogs out of the shelter, risking their own safety whilst animals were herded into all available vehicles to save them from the flames and smoke. Thanks to a desperate appeal to our local community temporary place‐

ments were made for the dogs, but many now cannot stay where they are and will need to go back to Adana until they find their forever home. It will take an estimated €45,000 for the shelter to return to some form of normality, a significant amount but not impossible, if we all do our bit. Selina Mackenzie, presenter on Talk
Radio Europe, had the ingenious idea to organise a Doggy Disco to raise funds, knowing that every small dona‐ tion can add up to making a big differ‐ ence. I don’t think even she could have anticipated that they would raise over €1,700 in just a couple of hours or that there would be so very many Adana adopted dogs that came to the
dance to show their gratitude. The event was hosted at the Victo‐ ria & Albert pub in Benavista and it was marvellous. If you watch my show #MN323 airing on Thursday at 11pm on RTV Marbella, you’ll get a chance to see just how many different breeds of dogs showed up with their owners; It was like a family reunion for everyone. It was also a great opportunity to meet and chat with like‐minded friends, win wonderful raffle prizes, gyrate to doggy dance music and munch on haute cuisine hot dogs pre‐ pared by chef Luke. A big well done to Selina and every‐ one involved; how satisfying for you all to know that all your hard work paid off … and that it’s all going to the dogs.

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So, if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

ROAD TEST by Mark Slack THE latest Golf is in its eighth generation some 45 years since it was first launched. It has become a classless car loved by everyone from ordi‐ nary families to the rich and famous. Golf 8 starts at €28,292 (£23,860) on‐the‐ road for the lead‐in Life mod‐ el with a perky 1.0‐litre TSi engine under the bonnet. Standard fare includes cli‐ mate control, powered and heated door mirrors, auto‐ matic lights and wipers plus automatic dimming rear view mirror, alloy wheels, navigation and a plethora of safety kit. A variety of petrol engines from 1.0‐litre to 2.0‐litre with power ranging from 110PS through to 320PS depending on the model. There is also the option, across the engine range, of mild hybrid assis‐ tance and a plug‐in hybrid GTE model. Transmissions are six‐speed manual or sev‐ en‐speed DSG dual clutch au‐ tomatic. Despite some noticeable

VW Golf - evolutionary style minor cost‐cutting measures ‐ the lack of a gas strut on the bonnet, no cover over the cup holders in the centre con‐ sole, visible key apertures on the door handles and a few others ‐ there is still that solid, durable and quality feel to this latest Golf. Even in its lead‐in form it has huge ap‐ peal and thanks to a policy of evolution rather than revolu‐ tion in its design, Golf mod‐ els on t h e sec‐
ond‐hand market retain a premium price over competi‐ tors. It has gone far too digital for some, although I’m sure VW would argue that the sys‐ tem makes for a more effi‐ cient driver experience. There is no doubt that when living with the car the various touchscreen actions required for various functions would
become more familiar. However, to me the sys‐ tem is not as intuitive as it could be and, until you’re ful‐ ly used to it, it can feel like a distraction. On the road performance brings no complaints with my 115 hp 2.0‐litre diesel provid‐ ing a good turn of speed when required and impres‐ sive fuel consumption. It pro‐ duces a composed ride over even the roughest road surfaces and can move briskly along twist‐ ing cross country roads.
LATEST GOLF: A classless car loved by everyone from ordinary families to the rich and famous.
Despite being a ‘dirty’ diesel it is now one of the cleanest units available with major re‐ ductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. With its smartly evolved design there is no mistaking
that this is a Golf, it retains that certain something spe‐ cial on the style front which appeals to such a broad range of drivers. At its price point the new Golf needed to deliver… and it does!

All the up-to-date news and scores from Walking Football CALAHONDA had struggled in their first League game at Viñuela. The Walking Dead B had slaughtered Sporting Benahavis 8‐1. However, personnel changes helped produce one of the biggest upsets in South of Spain walking football history. People had wa‐ gered their mortgages, well not quite, on a similar score when these two met on Monday October 18. However, the Whites shocked everyone taking the lead before Walking Dead B equalised shortly after. This did not deter Calahonda who contin‐ ued their passing game and their solid formation to take the lead again with 10 minutes to go. A third followed to put the game out of reach. A shock but deserved win for the Whites and sport‐ ingly taken by a disappointed Walking Dead team. Their man‐ agement team pointed to several forced changes from the team who beat Benahavis while Calahonda manager Lesh Bzruzny said he was proud of his team who pre‐match were odds on un‐ derdogs, and the way they had stuck to their game plan. The match was well controlled by referee Ian Flynn with no incidents of note. In other matches last weekend Benahavis’s teams made the long trip to Nerja determined to wipe out the eight goal defeats both their teams had suffered from the Walking Dead. Atletico Benahavis were first on and recorded a 5‐3 win against
The victorious Calahonda squad at a session before their match with the Walking Dead.
Nerja A. Sporting Benahavis then saw off the Nerja B team chal‐ lenge with a 3‐0 win. With all teams having played two games the Championship Table is very close with Viñuela leading on 6pts followed by four teams on 3pts and Nerja B bottom still to gain a point. On Wednesday October 28 saw the long awaited encounter between Malaga A, second in the HIDROMASTER Premiership, against also unbeaten with a game less played Walking Dead. Al‐ ways tight evenly contested games between these two. Malaga are confident after getting to the semi‐final of the Over 60s Al‐ garve Tournament where they lost after ‘running out of steam’ and the Walking Dead on a high after scoring eight goals in their last match at Benahavis. See next week’s Euro Weekly News for match report and other results.

WFS Calahonda are running a Penalty Shootout Competi‐ tion after each session at the Finca Naundrup as part of their contribution to Lara’s Fund. At last Monday’s shootout Lara’s Dad Johhny Gracie took part. To read how he fared against ‘The Professionals’ make sure you get your copy of next week’s Euro Weekly News. The proceeds of a raffle which will be drawn at the Cala‐ honda Christmas Dinner Dance will also be donated to the fund. FINAL COMMENT.

He sends his thanks to all who asked af‐ ter him and to the colleagues and medical staff who saved his life.
