EDITORIALTal y como continuamos disfrutando de este tiempo caluroso y seco, tenemos la necesidad de recordar el peligro siempre presente de los fuegos, cuya brisa notamos procedente del valle del Genal desde comienzos de Febrero. Tendríamos que tener en cuenta, mientras disfrutamos del campo, que las condiciones de sequía son las mismas ahora que en el verano. Y debemos ser conscientes y prudentes en todo momento.En la última edición del periódico the Resident, mencioné el proyecto que nuestra empresa Manilva Media Workshop SLL tiene entre manos, me gustaría informaros más sobre ello pero estamos trabajando aún en ello y por tanto tenemos que esperar hasta la edición de Marzo.En estos momentos, muchas ciudades y pueblos Españoles están celebrando Carnaval, un evento

As we continue to enjoy the unseasonably long spell of warm and dry weather we need to remember that this has a sting in its tail as the risk of fire is ever present, which the huge blaze in Genal Valley at the beginning of February was evidence of. It would be well worth bearing in mind, whilst out enjoying the countryside, that the dry conditions are the same as summer and all care should be taken to guard against accidental fires.In last month’s editorial I mentioned a project our parent company Manilva Media Workshop SLL is currently working on, and had hoped to bring you more news in this month’s issue. With the final pieces falling into place in the first week of March, we will be able to fill you in on the scheme in next March’s issue.At the time of going to press many Spanish towns and cities are celebrating Carnival, which is held annually in the couple of weeks preceeding the onset of Lent, although nowadays the dates

anual celebrado normalmente unas semanas antes de la Cuaresma, aunque hoy en día las fechas son más flexibles.Disfraces, alegría, y las tradicionales chirigotas con su humor tan particular.Mientras Cádiz y Tenerife celebran sus particulares y famosos Carnavales, no tienes que ir tan lejos para encontrar diversión carnavalesca. Casares está en carnaval el día 3 de Marzo, ¿por qué no te disfrazas y participas de la diversión?Eso es todo por este mes, esperamos que disfruten de esta edición, y no os olvidéis que siempre estamos interesados en sus opiniones.

have become a little more flexible as its religious origins become overlooked.During Carnival people dress up in fancy dress, and enjoy the chirigotas and comparsas, satirical music groups who can only be described as a combination of barbershop and Monty Python!Whilst the cities of Cadiz and Tenerife hold celebrations which are famous around the world you don’t have to travel far to find the opportunity to join in the fun, in fact Casares will be holding their Carnival this weekend, March 3. So why not go and let your hair down, and although it’s not compulsory, why not enter into the spirit and go in fancy dress.That’s it for this month, we hope you enjoy this issue, and don’t forget we are always interested in your opinions so send us your feedback to editor@theresident.euBye for now,Editor

Los 21 ediles de la Corporación aprobaron en Pleno Ordinario la moción presentada por el PA en la que se insta al Gobierno de la Nación a que inicie las acciones oportunas para que Odyssey Marine Exploration entregue a España todas las piezas de la fragata “Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes”, incluso las 59 que supuestamente nunca se enviaron a Estados Unidos. Además, la moción solicita que en San Roque se expongan varios objetos recuperados del pecio, ya que ha sido el municipio que más se ha distinguido en la lucha para evitar este expolio.El segundo teniente de alcalde y portavoz andalucista, Manuel Melero, ha apuntado que “San Roque se merece albergar algunas de las piezas, ya que

San Roque exige a Odyssey que entregue a España todas las piezas de “Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes”

hemos sido los más combativos en esta cuestión, tanto desde nuestros colectivos ecologistas como en el tesón puesto por algunos particulares. Y, también, desde el punto de vista político”. Melero denunció en 2006 las actividades de Odyssey ante la Guardia Civil, y el Ayuntamiento se personó en las diligencias del caso en 2008 tras ser aprobada la medida en Pleno por unanimidad.Asimismo, el edil agradeció “el apoyo recibido también en esta ocasión por el resto de los grupos políticos de la Corporación. La unanimidad de todos los representantes de la soberanía popular en el municipio vuelve a reiterar la implicación que tiene en el tema todo el pueblo de San Roque”.

The 21 councillors of San Roque’s municipal council voted unanimously to approve a motion tabled by the Partido Andalucista at a recent sitting of the council calling on the Spanish Government to initiate the appropriate action to recover from Odyssey Marine Exploration all items taken from the Spanish frigate “Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes”, including the 59 items that were supposedly never sent to the United States.The motion also requests that several of the pieces should be presented to San Roque as it was this municipality that fought to prevent this ‘theft’.

San Roque calls on Spanish government to recover items removed by the US salvage company Odyssey Marine

Councillor Manuel Melero, spokesman for the PA, stated that “San Roque deserves some of these items, as we have been most combatitive in this issue on environmental and heritage issues as well as from a political standpoint”.In 2006 Melero brought the case of the US salvage company’s activities to the notice of the Guardia Civil.The Mayor of San Roque thanked all those present for their unanimous support of all the political parties which proved that they could all work as one on behalf of the people of San Roque.

La Concejalía de Medio Ambiente del Ayuntamiento de Casares ha solicitado a la Junta de Andalucía una subvención para la creación de cortafuegos en las fincas forestales de titularidad forestal: Herriza de Matagallar, El Álamo, Loma Matute y Moncayo.Se trata de acometer las actuaciones previstas en el Plan de Prevención de Incendios Forestales, como la creación de fajas auxiliares, cortafuegos, de entre

68.000 €, esa es la cantidad en concepto de certificaciones que resta por abonar a la empresa constructora del pabellón de los deportes de Sabinillas.Según informó Antonia Muñoz, el Ayuntamiento está prácticamente al día en cuanto al pago de certificaciones a fecha de hoy, por lo que la empresa Vera y Gea, encargada de la construcción del complejo, debería seguir avanzando en la obra a partir de ahora.Muñoz mantendrá una reunión con representantes de esta entidad, con el fin de conocer si van a continuar los

trabajos o si por el contrario la empresa constructora desea resolver el contrato, con lo que el Ayuntamiento tendría que realizar una nueva adjudicación para la terminación de las obras.Hasta el momento, el consistorio ha pagado casi 5.300.000 € para la construcción del edificio y aún restan casi tres millones de euros para la finalización del proyecto, principalmente para la terminación de la obra, luz, aluminio, pistas de padel, etc.La intención de la alcaldesa es tener resuelto el asunto para finales de año.

According to Antonia Muñoz, the Town Hall is practically up to date with payments with just €68,000 owed as of today, so Vera and Gaia, the company responsible for the construction of the complex should continue with the work from now.Muñoz will hold a meeting with company representatives, in order to determine whether to continue the work or if the construction company wishes to terminate the contract the Town Hall will have to

Latest news on the Sabinillas Sports Centreappoint another company to complete the centre.Up to now the council has paid almost € 5,300,000 for the construction of the building with nearly three million left to pay for the completion of the project, mainly for construction, electricity, aluminium, paddle courts, etc..The intention of the mayor is to have this matter resolved by the end of the year.

Continúan las medidas de ahorro en la gestión municipal. En esta ocasión ha sido la delegación de Parque Móvil la que ha adoptado una medida que permite, desde el pasado mes de noviembre de 2011, un ahorro mensual de 6.063,14 €.El Ayuntamiento de Manilva adjudicó en el año 2005 a la empresa Transandalucía S.L. el servicio municipal de transporte urbano por el que en las últimas fechas se abonaba un importe fijo mensual de 8.748 €, cifra que ya contemplaba el descuento de los ingresos de los usuarios.Desde el pasado mes de Noviembre este servicio lo realizan dos conductores municipales que cubren dos turnos de 7 horas cada uno de ellos, cubriendo el servicio mañana y tarde.

Esta medida, que supone una hora más de servicio que con la anterior empresa, no ha supuesto gasto extraordinario alguno para las arcas municipales ya que se trata de una optimización del personal de otras delegaciones a quienes se les ha modificado la jornada laboral. Ambos trabajadores suponen un coste bruto mensual de 3.686,32 €.Por otra parte, el pasado mes de Noviembre los ingresos de los usuarios por este servicio han sido de 1.701,46 €. De esta manera, el coste mensual del servicio, descontando los tickets de los usuarios, es de 2.684,86, cifra que frente a los 8.748 € pagados mensualmente a la anterior empresa, supone un ahorro mensual de 6.063,14 €.

Cost cutting measures continue in municipal management. This time it is the transport department which has adopted measures that allow, since last November 2011, monthly savings of € 6,063.14.Manilva’s Town Council awarded the responsability for municipal public transport to Transandalucia SL in 2005 and was paying them a monthly fixed amount of € 8,748, which included the income generated by users ticket fees.Since last November the service is being performed by two local drivers covering two shifts of seven hours each, one on morning service and the other on evening service.

Manilva’s local bus service cuts costs by 6.000 euros per month

This measure has allowed the local bus service to be provided for an hour longer than the previously at no extra cost to the municipal coffers as it is due to better use of staff from other departments who have changed their working day. Both workers cost € 3,686.32 each month.Also, last November’s income for the service from users was € 1,701.46. Meaning the monthly cost of the service, discounting tickets bought by users, is 2684.86, a figure that compares well to the € 8,748 paid every month to the former company, the monthly savings are € 6,063.14.

Over the last few months there has been a lot of speculation in the press regarding, the soon to be published, Decree on the Regularization of Housing in rural areas from the Andalucía Junta.It’s true that on 10th January the Department of Public Works and housing of the Andalucía Junta advanced a draft of this decree, but to date, in spite of numerous press releases about this decree, which is intended to legalize much of the housing illegally constructed on rural plots, it has still not been officially published in the BOJA (Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía). Therefore, we don’t know the exact terms of this new directive, nor the date when it comes into effect, or even the real scope of the decree. So we would recommend that you don’t rely on what’s written in the papers. We would suggest that you wait until the decree is officially published in the BOJA so that you know exactly what the final content of the decree is and are sure that the legal implications for the regularization

of the situation are clear. The thousands of properties that were built illegally on undevelopable land over the last few years have to be regularized to make people aware of their legal obligations and so that the law can be enforced and upheld.We will be following this closely, and as soon as the decree is officially published we will study and analyze it, then we will publish our comments and guidelines for you.

Manilva SolicitorsDECRETO JUNTA ANDALUCíA SObRE REGULARIzACIóN DE VIVIENDASEn los últimos meses ha habido muchas noticias en prensa sobre la pronta publicación del Decreto de la Junta de Andalucía sobre la regularización urbanística de viviendas construidas en suelo rustico.Es cierto que el día 10 de enero la Consejería de Obras Publicas y Vivienda de la Junta de Andalucía adelantó un borrador de dicho decreto, pero a día de hoy, a pesar de las numerosas noticias en presa sobre dicho decreto que pretende legalizar muchas viviendas construidas ilegalmente en suelo rustico, todavía no ha sido publicado oficialmente en el BOJA (Boletín Oficial de la Junta de Andalucía). Por tanto, no se conocen los términos exactos de dicha nueva regulación, fecha de entrada en vigor y el alcance real que la misma va a tener por lo que recomendamos que no se preste mucha atención a dichas notas de prensa.Por tanto, recomendamos esperar a la publicación oficial de dicho decreto en el BOJA para saber su contenido final

y confirmar la utilidad legal del mismo para regularización la situación de las miles de viviendas construidas en suelo no urbanizable en los últimos años y que necesariamente se tienen que regularizar para dar seguridad jurídica y certeza a los ciudadanos.Estaremos alerta y tan pronto se publique dicho decreto, el mismo será analizado por nuestro despacho y publicaremos unos comentarios del mismo.

Se ha presentado por registro de entrada en la Diputación Provincial de Málaga la solicitud de ayuda económica puntual y urgente para la creación de un nuevo vial de acceso al Polígono industrial La Dehesilla de la localidad.En la actualidad el polígono de La Dehesilla posee un viario de acceso que está en una situación muy precaria con un firme muy deteriorado así como una traza totalmente inapropiada para el desarrollo de la actividad industrial instalada en esa zona.Según recoge el documento presentado en Diputación, se prevé la creación de dos zonas de acceso claramente diferenciadas y que confluyen en

una rotonda que dará la fluidez de movimiento necesaria. Uno de los accesos tendría cinco metros de sección que se solapa con parte del trazado del actual vial de acceso y que unirá con una vía que desemboca en la A7.Por otro lado se realiza un nuevo ramal de siete metros de sección y que al situarse en una zona más adecuada topográficamente se reduciría el impacto ambiental al reducir los movimiento de tierras a realizar y daría un radio de acceso más idóneo a cierto tipo de vehículos y que sería el principal acceso del tráfico procedente de la AP7.El presupuesto de esta actuación alcanza los 161.693,63 €.

The necessary paperwork has been presented to the provincial authorities in Málaga in order to apply for urgent funding to create a new access road to the municipality’s industrial estate, La Dehesilla.At the moment La Dehesilla has an access road in a precarious position, badly damaged and completely inappropriate for the development of industrial activity in the area.The paperwork seeks the creation of two different access points which join at a roundabout giving vehicles the necessary

space for smooth traffic flow. One access would be a five metre stretch following the current access road leading to the A7.The other will be a new seven metre wide section placed in a more geographically appropriate area aiming to reduce the environmental impact by preventing the movement of too much earth while also providing a range of suitable access points for all types of vehicle as well as being the main traffic access from the AP7 toll road.The budget for this work amounts to €161,693.

El consejero de Economía, Innovación y Ciencia, Antonio Ávila, ha visitado en Manilva las instalaciones del Hospital La Equina, junto a la delegada del Gobierno Andaluz en Málaga, Remedios Martel, la delegada de Innovación y Ciencia, Marta Rueda y la alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, entre otros responsables municipales, donde ha tenido la oportunidad de conocer los resultados de la investigación que la empresa ha desarrollado sobre células madre de los caballos y su aplicación a la medicina humana. Esta investigación es el resultado del Estudio sobre Viabilidad y Migración de Células Madre Equinas que puso en marcha en 2007 con el apoyo de la Consejería a través de un incentivo de 481.000 euros. Ha sido una iniciativa pionera en España y se ha situado en primera línea de investigación científica a nivel mundial.Los resultados han representado un banco de pruebas en el avance del conocimiento sobre posibles tratamientos regenerativos en medicina humana y ha permitido dar los pasos para la creación de un banco de células madres. La repercusión internacional ha sido tal que las conclusiones se han expuesto en congresos de Leipzig, Kentucky, Chicago y Birmingham.El consejero de Innovación ha destacado la importancia de que desde la Administración se invierta en investigación relacionada con los aspectos más cotidianos y cercanos al ciudadano, como es el mundo de los caballos, y en este caso además, manifestaba, con el resultado de que la investigación con los equinos puede trasladarse a la medicina humana. Ávila ha añadido que desde la Junta de Andalucía se ha apoyado esta investigación así como ha anunciado que seguirán apoyándola.

Por su parte la alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, ha hecho hincapié en el beneficio que para la localidad supone que sea una empresa de la localidad, como es el Hospital La Equina de Manilva dirigido por el vecino Miguel Valdés, la que haya situado a la población al más alto nivel mundial en los estudios de investigación sobre la aplicación de las células madres como medicina regenerativa. Muñoz ha mostrado el total apoyo del Ayuntamiento de Manilva en las solicitudes que desde La Equina le realicen.Por su parte, el director de La Equina, Miguel Valdés, ha resaltado que el proyecto ESTEM sienta las bases para la aplicación de los resultados obtenidos en medicina humana, lo cual permitiría avanzar mucho en la investigación con células madres con mucho menos recursos de los que se utilizan hasta ahora en este tipo de ciencia.Valdés ha señalado que esta técnica además está permitiendo que un 80 % de recuperación a los caballos que no podían usarse para competiciones deportivas tras una lesión.La empresa lleva a cabo otro proyecto centrado en la investigación sobre enfermedades más frecuentes del caballo Pura Raza Española y como mejorar su selección. El desarrollo de este trabajo se ha realizado por un consorcio investigador entre la empresa, la Universidad de Córdoba (UCO) y la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB). Se trata de un proyecto de investigación de excelencia apoyado con 168.000 euros en la convocatoria 2010. Hospital La Equina, con una plantilla de 10 trabajadores, comenzó su actividad en 2003 y encabeza los hospitales equinos de España, tanto por casos recibidos como cirugías realizadas. Recibe 800 caballos cada año y opera unos 200.

Presentado el proyecto de investigación con células madre realizado por el hospital la equina

Various regional and local government representatives recently visited the La Equina Equine Hospital, where they had the opportunity to see the results of an investigation into the development of horse stem cells and their possible applications in human medicine.This research is the result of the Estudio sobre Viabilidad y Migración de Células

Madre Equinas (Study of the feasibility and migration of equine stem cells) which was launched in 2007 with support from the Ministry through a 481.000 euro incentive. It was a pioneering initiative in Spain and has been at the forefront of scientific research worldwide.The results represent an advancement in the knowledge of potential regenerative

Manilva at the cutting edge of equine stem cell research

therapies in human medicine and have led to the first steps towards creating a stem cell bank. The international impact has been such that the conclusions have been discussed in seminars in Leipzig, Kentucky, Chicago and Birmingham.The fact that the investigation was carried out by a local company is of great benefit to the municipality, placing tManilva at the centre of worldwide research studies into the application of stem cells as a regenerative medicine.The ESTEM project is the basis for the application of the results obtained in human medicine, which can go a long way in stem-cell research with far less resources than are usually required for this kind of research. This technique is also allowing injured horses an 80% chance of

recovery.The company is conducting another project focused on research into common diseases of the purebred Spanish horse and how to improve the breeding process. The development of this project is being carried out between the company, the University of Córdoba (UCO) and the University of Barcelona (UAB).This is an excellent research project supported with some 168,000 euros of funding in 2010.The Equine Hospital, with a staff of 10, began operations in 2003 and is one of the leading equine hospitals in Spain, both due to the number of cases received and surgeries performed. 800 horses per year are brought to the hospital, 200 of which are operated on.

La alcaldesa de Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, junto al edil responsable de Urbanismo, Diego Urieta, ha mantenido varias reuniones con entidades bancarias y empresas promotoras, con el fin de reactivar el mercado de las viviendas, que o no están acabadas o estando terminadas, aún no se han vendido y que por ende están sin habitar.Su intención es que en Manilva no haya viviendas vacías, ni abandonadas, como es el caso de la fase 2 de la Urbanización Doña Pilar en Manilva. Con el fin de poner en valor este patrimonio para sacarlo a la venta, los representantes municipales han mantenido un encuentro con responsables del Banco Pastor, propietario de los inmuebles. Se esta haciendo un gran esfuerzo por parte de esta entidad financiera.

Además Muñoz y Urieta, también se reunieron con responsables de las empresas Prienesur y Cajasur, que gestionan el departamento de inmuebles de la zona de Maicandil donde están ubicadas las nuevas viviendas sociales del núcleo de Sabinillas.

Se está a la espera de obtener la calificación definitiva como viviendas sociales, para reactivar la venta de esta promoción con precios asequibles.Se recuerda a las personas interesadas en adquirir una vivienda de estas características, que deben estar inscritos en el Registro de Demandantes de Vivienda de Protección Oficial, tramite que pueden realizar en el Ayuntamiento de Manilva.

Muñoz propone reactivar el mercado de viviendas vacías o sin terminar

The Mayor of Manilva, Antonia Muñoz, along with the councillor for Planning, Diego Urieta, has had several meetings with banks and local developers, in the search for ways to revive the market for houses which are either unfinished or properties that remain unsold and empty.The aim is to achieve a situation where there are no empty properties or abandoned developments, such as phase 2 of the Doña Pilar urbanisation in Manilva. In order to make these properties available for sale, council representatives held a meeting with officials of Banco Pastor, owners of the the Doña Pilar development

who stated that they are making every effort to resolve the situation.Munoz and Urieta also met with officials from the companies Prienesur and Cajasur, which manage the Maicandil development of new housing located in the heart of Sabinillas.They are waiting for the property to finally be declared social housing, to boost the sale of this property at affordable prices.People interested in the opportunity of purchasing one of these social housing units must be registered on the list of applicants for subsidized housing, which can be done an the Manilva Town Hall.

Muñoz seeks to reactivate the market for unsold or unfinished properties

El alcalde insta a la Junta a que dé la autorización para iniciar la construcción del centro hospitalario El alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, ha remitido una carta a la nueva delegada provincial del Gobierno andaluz, Susana Radío, para reiterarle que el Ayuntamiento de Estepona está a la espera de que la Junta de Andalucía se pronuncie sobre los trabajos arqueológicos llevados a cabo en la parcela situada en el sector oeste SUP-T04 denominado ‘Santa María’, donde se prevé la ejecución del futuro Centro Hospitalario de Alta Resolución Especializada. El regidor recuerda en su misiva que desde el Ayuntamiento se remitió a la delegación provincial de Cultura de la Junta de Andalucía, en fecha 2 de noviembre de 2011, la última documentación anexa al informe sobre la finalización de las excavaciones, sin que hasta la fecha se haya recibido comunicación formal al respecto; pese a que ya se ha sobrepasado el plazo legal establecido de un mes para que la delegación provincial de Cultura de la Junta emita informe sobre este asunto. Tampoco se ha requerido más documentación sobre este expediente por parte de la Administración andaluza.Con esto, el primer edil ha reprochado que la Junta no responda sobre este asunto y ha destacado que el Ayuntamiento ha cumplido con todo este procedimiento, por lo que no se entiende que exista más

demora para culminar el procedimiento administrativo que permita iniciar la obra de este centro hospitalario. Así, el regidor ha aprovechado esta carta para solicitarle una cita a Radío para abordar este y otros asuntos de interés para el municipio. García Urbano ha reiterado que para el equipo de gobierno es una prioridad la construcción de este centro hospitalario y ha destacado la “celeridad y la diligencia” con la que ha actuado el Ejecutivo local durante estos meses. Así, ha recordado que la Administración andaluza lleva prometiendo desde 2007 la construcción de este equipamiento, “pero ahora que está todo listo para empezar los trabajos, demuestra que no tiene interés en iniciarlos”. Así, ha recordado que en enero de 2010 la delegada provincial de Salud, María Antigua Escalera, aseguró que la Junta estaba en disposición de iniciar los trabajos en el momento en el que el Ayuntamiento ultimase los trámites urbanísticos. El Servicio Andaluz de Salud solicitó el en diciembre de 2008 la licencia municipal de obras de construcción de este centro hospitalario, sin que el anterior gobierno realizara su tramitación. El Consistorio la concedió el 26 de septiembre de 2011, después de que fuera informada favorablemente por los técnicos municipales.

Estepona Mayor urges regional government to give authorisation for construction to begin on the hospitalThe Mayor of Estepona, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, has written to Susana Radío, the new provincial delegate for the Andalucian regional government, reminding her that the municipality are still waiting for them to sign off on the archaeological work carried out in the ‘Santa Maria’ zone, which will be the site for the new hospital.The Mayor referred to his previous letter dated 2 November, 2011, in which he detailed all the works and attached all the documentation on the completion of the said excavations, but to date has received no response despite the statutory time limit having been exceeded by one month. Nor has the Estepona Town Hall received any request for additional information or documentation.

The Mayor has complained that the Junta’s Culture Department has failed to respond despite his compliance with all the procedures so as to ensure a speedy start to the hospital construction.Mayor Jose Maria Garcia Urbano has stressed his government’s commitment to prioritise the construction of the hospital which, he pointed out, the regional government promised to begin building back in 2007 “although now that we’re ready to build it they’re no longer interested”.He also recalled that in January 2010 the Provincial Delegate for Health, María Antigua Escalera, said that the Junta would be ready to begin works as soon as the Town Council had completed the planning formalities.

El Ayuntamiento desbloquea los trámites para desguazar un barco abandonado en el Puerto DeportivoEl Ayuntamiento de Estepona ha anunciado hoy que en los próximos días se procederá a la retirada definitiva de una embarcación que se encontraba abandonada desde hacía tres años en las instalaciones del Puerto Deportivo. El alcalde, José María García Urbano, ha indicado que desde el Consistorio se

ha mediado entre la Empresa Pública de Puertos de Andalucía (EPPA) y los juzgados que tenían embargado el barco para “desbloquear” la situación y lograr el desguace del mismo.La permanencia de la nave en el recinto se ha prolongado en el tiempo porque las dos partes implicadas no se ponían

The Estepona Town Hall has announced that in the coming days it will proceed to the final stage of the disposal of a fishing boat that was abandoned for three years on-site in the marina. The mayor, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, has indicated that the council has mediated between the Public Ports of Andalucía (PPA) and the courts that had seized the boat to speed along the situation and enable the scrapping of the vessel.The ship continued had remained

The Town Hall solves the issue of disposing of a ship abandoned for years in the Marina

abandoned on the quayside because the two parties could not agree who should bear the costs of moving the vessel, as this will cost more than the actual value of the boat.Finally, at the request of the Town Hall, the PPA has decided to bear the cost of expenses incurred by the company that is hired for the dismantling, decontamination and removal of the boat, currently beached on the west pier of the Marina.

Comienza la obra de la guardería municipal en Parque Central

El Ayuntamiento de Estepona ha informado de que han comenzado los trabajos de construcción de la guardería municipal que se construye en la zona de Parque Central. El Ayuntamiento adjudicó a finales del pasado diciembre a la empresa Horus Obras y Proyectos, SL la edificación de esta escuela infantil por un importe total de 680.000 euros.El plazo de ejecución será de siete meses, por lo que el centro estará operativo durante el curso escolar 2012-2013.Se ha elaborado un proyecto “funcional” para esta escuela infantil, diseñado en una única planta que tendrá capacidad para 115 alumnos, se proyecta sobre

una parcela de 1.200 metros cuadrados y tendrá un total de ocho aulas, dos patios y comedor, entre otras instalaciones.La construcción de este equipamiento educativo está justificada en la demanda de plazas que se generan todos los años por el incremento de la población infantil así como por la necesidad de aumentar las aulas para bebés y la oferta de comedor para el primer ciclo de Infantil.La Administración regional concedió en julio de 2010 una subvención de 700.000 euros para este equipamiento y fijó para diciembre de 2011 la fecha de finalización del mismo.

The Estepona Town Hall has reported that the construction of the municipal nursery to be built in the Parque Central area has begun. The Council awarded the contract to Horus Obras y Proyectos, SL at the end of last December for a total of 680,000 euros.The building will take seven months to complete, so the center will be operational during the school year 2012-2013.The buildings design is focused on functionality, a single storey structure with capacity for 115 students, built on a plot of

Work begins on the new municipal nursery in the Parque Central

1,200 square metres with a total of eight classrooms, two playgrounds, dining and other facilities .The construction of this educational facility is justified due to the demand for places generated each year by the increase in the child population as well as the need for additional classrooms for babies and more dining space for the older children.The regional government awarded a grant of 700,000 euros in July 2010 for this building and set the date of completion for December 2011.

de acuerdo sobre quién debía asumir los costes del traslado a un depósito, ya que éste tenía un coste muy superior al valor real de la embarcación embargada judicialmente.Finalmente, tras la petición del Consistorio, la EPPA ha decidido asumir el coste de los gastos generados por la empresa que se contrate para el

desguace, descontaminación y retirada al vertedero de la embarcación que se encuentra varada y depositada en el muelle de poniente del Puerto Deportivo. El regidor se ha mostrado satisfecho con el acuerdo porque acaba con un problema de salubridad que, además, ofrecía un “una mala imagen” del recinto portuario.

El artista Amar Jodda nos presenta una colección representativa de sus mejores trabajos compuesta por coloridas pinturas abstractas sobre óleos y acrílicos en una exposición, que permanecerá abierta en el Centro Cultural Padre Manuel del 1 al 16 de marzo de 2012.

AMAR JODDA(Iraq-1972) Posee los estudios de Filosofía en MTO Shahmaghsoudi (Escuela Islámica de Sufismo) y la carrera Técnica de Electricidad.Le alcanzó la inspiración para pintar como una forma de expresar su filosofía de la vida, plasmando sus vivencias en los cuadros. Así pues, sus comienzos en la pintura son muy recientes, sobre mediados del año pasado.Su técnica está basada en la utilización de pintura acrílica y también algunos coqueteos al óleo. El estilo principal de sus cuadros están compuestos por motivos abstractos y están inspirados en la propia vida del pintor, la cual paso por sufrir la guerra 1980-1988 de Irán-Iraq y posteriormente la guerra de invasión de USA, en 1990.

Exposición De Pinturas - Amar JoddaLlego a España en le año 2000 para recorrer al año siguiente Alemania, Dinamarca y Noruega. Regresó definitivamente para establecerse en Estepona en el 2007. En los últimos tiempos perfecciona su afición por la pintura, esperando tener continuidad a lo largo de los años.

The artist Amar Jodda presents a representative collection of his best work consisting of colourful abstract paintings in oils and acrylics in an exhibition which will open at the Padre Manuel Cultural Centre from March 1 to 16, 2012.

AMAR JODDA(Iraq-1972) studied philosophy at MTO Shahmaghsoudi (School of Islamic Sufism) and is an electrician by trade.The inspiration came to him to paint as a way of expressing his philosophy of life, reflecting his experiences in the paint. He began painting very recently, from roughly

mid last year.His technique is based on the use of acrylic paint while also allowing brief flirtations with oils. His paintings are composed mainly of abstract motifs inspired by the painter’s life, which includes suffering through the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq and later on the US invasion in 1990.He came to Spain in 2000 continuing his travels through Germany, Denmark and Norway during the following year. He returned to settle in Estepona in 2007. In recent years he has perfected his interest in painting, hoping to achieve continuity over the years.

La concejala del área Sociocultural del Ayuntamiento de Estepona, María Dolores Espinosa, ha anunciado que el próximo 2 de marzo The Film Symphony Orchestra actuará en el Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos del municipio donde interpretará el espectáculo que rinde homenaje a las bandas sonoras de John Williams, el genial compositor estadounidense que ha puesto música a más de cien películas y a la mayoría de obras de Steven Spielberg.Espinosa ha explicado que se trata de “una oportunidad única” para disfrutar de un concierto sinfónico donde la orquesta hará un repaso por las piezas que el músico neoyorkino, ganador de cinco Oscar y nominado en 45 ocasiones, compuso para películas como ‘Star Wars’, ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘Superman’, ‘ET’, ‘La lista de Schindler’ o ‘Tiburón’, entre otras. La edil ha indicado que The Film Symphony Orchestra es uno de los proyectos “más interesantes del panorama musical en España” porque su director y maestro especialista en bandas sonoras, Constantino Martínez de Orts, profundiza en la obra de Williams al que considera “un músico a la altura de Mozart, Tchaikovsky o Puccini”.La orquesta, que fue gestada durante

others.The 70 strong orchestra is directed by Constantino Martínez-Orts who specialises in soundtracks and considers the work of Williams as equal to that of Mozart, Tchaikovsky or Puccini. Martínez-Orts believes that the only way to enjoy the music properly is through the medium of a full symphony orchestra.Tickets for the show are priced at 15 euros per person

Club Charity and Pleasure is a social club, mostly appealing to British ex-pats - although open to all - who live in or near the El Paraiso area of Estepona. Its 300+ members enjoy many activities: on a weekly basis, including Wednesday coffee mornings held at El Caserio, next to Vivero Agro Jardin (when many weeks there is a speaker), there is whist and Chicago bridge, bowls, and a newly-formed singing group. On the last Friday of the month members can enjoy supper followed by a pub quiz. A coach to Gibraltar is provided on a monthly basis, trips such as visits to the theatre, exhibitions and places of local interest are organized; lunches and dinners are arranged at different venues along the coast, and their Summer and Winter Balls provide an excuse to dress up and party.But what makes this club different is that they raise money for local charities. This year so far they have been able to make donations to Aspandem, Cudeca, the Elliot George Foundation (Aprona), Age Concern, and the poor of Estepona

through food hampers, amounting to more than 4500 euros.The club produces a quarterly 64-page magazine for its members, but also reaches others through distribution to local golf clubs and other venues. Production is made possible by advertising, and the valuable support of several loyal businesses. More advertisers are always needed, however, and any business or individual wishing to bring their services to the attention of club members is invited to visit their website www.capsonlinemag.net and contact the magazine editor. Links to your business will be provided on the site. Rates are very low. The website mainly keeps members updated with events, as well as providing information such as the club rules, current committee members, etc.For further information you are invited to contact the club President, Denise Ghazi, on 952 810989, or through the contact details on the website.

Club Charity and Pleasure

Estepona Floral Art Club will be holding its next flower arranging demonstration on Tuesday, 20th March from 2.45pm until 5.00pm, when the demonstrator will be Ann Colby, who is a NAFAS East of England Area Demonstrator from Norwich. Due to the unexpected closure of our regular venue, please see below to obtain details of where this event will be held.After a long successful career in Media, Ann Colby followed in the artistic footsteps of her family, but differs from them by expressing her creativity with flowers. A very keen gardener, she grows lots of flowers and foliage, including plants such as Amaranthus, both red and green, that grow to nearly 4ft tall! After completing a floristry and floral art City and Guilds Course, she went on to do a 3 year NAFAS Diploma course in flower arranging. “This was like a shining light in a dark tunnel and I absolutely loved every minute of it” says Ann. In 2006 she joined the East of England Area Education Association and has been Vice Chair for the past 3 years and will take over as Chair in September this year.She competed at Chelsea Flower Show in 2010 and has been involved in some high profile corporate events and weddings, including one of a Singapore couple from a high ranking family (the bride wore an exquisite Oscar de la Renta dress) when the family brought over a large suitcase of orchids (which travelled First Class) to be incorporated into the “Midsummer

Night’s Dream” theme. She has also been involved in arranging flowers at Westminster Abbey through which she has met Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - Katherine and William. Ann has a holiday home in Calahonda and says, “The sea and sky and of course the beautiful Spanish sunsets can also be a true inspiration for a flower arranger.”Established over 10 years ago, Estepona Floral Art Club is a very friendly club on the Costa del Sol, Spain, with members and visitors from Nerja to Gibraltar. Once a month there is a flower arranging demonstration, where spectacular dis-plays are created live on stage. There are workshops for those who want to learn practical skills, coffee mornings and special events. Members and visitors are most welcome to attend and do not need any prior knowledge of flowers or flower arranging to enjoy the Club’s events. Members are of various nationalities but all meetings are in English.The details of where the meeting will be held will be posted on the Club’s the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/esteponafloralartclub. If you are already a Facebook user, please click ‘Like’ to receive regular updates on the Club’s activities and events. Alternatively, please call Barbara on 951 17 05 73 or send an email to esteponafloralartclub@hotmail.com to join our mailing list and you will be informed of the venue once it is determined.

La procesionaria del pino (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) es una especie de mariposa, abunda en los bosques de pinos de España, donde es una plaga muy extendida. Además de los pinos, habita también en cedros y abetos. Las mariposas se aparean en verano. La hembra pone sus huevos sobre las copas de los árboles, y 30 ó 40 días después nacen las orugas (generalmente en los meses de septiembre-octubre). Las orugas construyen sobre los árboles sus nidos, en los que pasan el invierno. Entre febrero y abril las orugas descienden al suelo desde sus nidos, en características filas indias (de ahí su nombre común de “procesionarias”). Finalmente se entierran en el suelo, donde pasan a la fase de crisálida. En verano las crisálidas hacen eclosión, y surgen las mariposas, que se aparean, comenzando de nuevo el ciclo.Durante el invierno, las orugas se alimentan de las acículas de los árboles (pinos principalmente) en los que instalan sus nidos, produciendo su defoliación.Las orugas están cubiertas de pelos urticantes que se desprenden y flotan en el aire, por lo que pueden provocar irritación en oídos, nariz y garganta en los seres humanos, así como intensas reacciones alérgicas.Esta marcha de las líneas es una estrategia de protección que da la impresión de una serpiente para disuadir a los posibles

depredadores, las aves, por ejemplo.Si alguna parte del tren de la oruga se ve perturbado se envía un mensaje a todo el mundo a bordo y un irritante se libera de los pelos finos que cubren los cuerpos orugas hacia el intruso. Esta irritante no es disimilar a la quemadura de ortigas, aunque algunas personas tienen una reacción alérgica de alto y pueden necesitar tratamiento médico, un sarpullido en el cuello es el síntoma más evidente.En el caso de los bebés y los perros este irritante puede ser fatal. Los nidos se están llenas de este irritante, las personas que trabajan o pasan por debajo de los árboles con nidos pueden notar una ligera irritación de polvo flotando en el aire.

La procesionaria del pino

The recent warm weather has triggered the activity the pine processionary caterpillar. This furry little critter has spent the winter in its ‘candyfloss’ nests in the local pine trees and is now on the march looking for a nice bit of ground in which to pupate over the summer. The pine processionary caterpillar is the offspring of the moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa and besides being a serious pest to pine trees, stripping the young needles from their branches, it is also a danger to humans and animals alike.The caterpillars have an unusual characteristic in that they climb down the trees and march along the ground nose to tail in a long ribbon, a habit which gives them their common name, the caterpillars have a potent defence system in the form of thousands of fine hairs which they discharge when threatened, and these hairs contain irritants which when touching the skin or eyes can cause serious problems. Worse still is if these hairs are ingested as it can lead to breathing difficulties, necrosis of the tongue and, in some cases, death of pets or humans.Unfortunately the marching columns of caterpillars are fascinating to both dogs and

children and it as a result of this that injuries occur.If you, your child, or your pet is injured after contact with these creatures, seek medical assistance immediately.There are a number of ways of dealing with this pest, nests can be destroyed when they appear at the end of summer by cutting them from the tree and burning them (make sure you take care not to have any physical contact with nest). Their are also insecticides available, but these are best left to pest control experts.A new treatment, which was pioneered in Italy is now also being used. The new method, known as endotherapy, involves injecting a treatment into the tree trunk, rather than fumigating, the caterpillar then ingests the poison when it eats the needles of the tree. This system avoids the spread of potentially dangerous pesticides in the air, and is also more effective. Each treatment is supposed to be effective for two years.

Esto significa que el corazón de los dueños de mascotas respondían mejor a las necesidades impuestas por los cambios corporales, como la de latir más rápido durante una situación de estrés. Una reducida variabilidad en el ritmo cardíaco está relacionada con un mayor riesgo de morir de una enfermedad del corazón.

Los perros guía desempeñan un papel crucial para las cerca de 1.000 personas invidentes o con grave discapacidad visual que los utilizan cada día en España. Pero el trabajo de un perro guía no dura para siempre: La jubilación de las mascotas llega cuando el animal cumple entre ocho y diez años. Entonces, muchos de estos excepcionales perros guía necesitan una familia de acogida que les quiera y cuidará de ellos. No es extraño que el perro guía jubilado se quede con la persona invidente a

This means that the hearts of pet owners respond to the needs imposed by bodily changes, such as the ability to beat faster during a stressful situation. A reduced ability for the heart to vary its’ rate is associated with an increased risk of dying from heart disease.

Guide dogs play a crucial role in the lives of nearly 1,000 people who are blind or with severe visual impairment that depend on them every day in Spain. But the work of a guide dog does not last forever. The retirement of these dedicated workers comes when the animal is about eight to ten years of age. Many of these exceptional dogs need foster families to love and care for them. Many of the retired guide dogs stay with the blind person who they have been with for years. But there are other

The financial nomad - Does this sound familiar?Do you try and keep under the radar of the local tax authorities pretending to still be a UK resident? If you spend more than 183 days in Spain you are deemed to be a resident and need to register with the authorities and are liable to tax on your worldwide income (double taxation agreements exist with the UK).

In the past local tax authorities may have been slow in chasing expatriates but they are now desperate to replenish their coffers and raise as much revenue as they can so if you haven’t received a tax demand yet the likelihood is that you will do at some point! Tax authorities throughout the world are exchanging information with each other in an attempt to catch those who are avoiding paying tax in the correct jurisdiction.

Are you drawing down income on your UK pension at your highest marginal rate which could be as much as 40% possibly 50%? You probably haven’t been told that if you draw this income in Spain as a short term temporary annuity you can

benefit from particularly generous rules which will reduce the income tax you pay to possibly less than 3%.

Would you like your beneficiaries to lose over half of the remaining pension fund? If you have already moved away from the UK you need to make sure your beneficiaries don’t suffer a 55% tax charge on the lump sum available from your UK pension fund. This tax charge applies if you were to die having already drawn down your tax free lump sum from your UK pension arrangement.

Are you interested in transferring wealth to your heirs without any IHT liability? With proper financial planning your beneficiaries would avoid UK Inheritance tax after 5 complete and consecutive tax years of non-UK residency.

Do you have investments that will increase the value of your estate in the UK and will be subject to a 40% tax charge on your death? Did you know that by formally exiting the UK you could potentially remove this liability?

You know you should do something about your Inheritance Tax position but of course you haven’t declared your real residential status and therefore you cannot benefit from tax planning opportunities available to Spanish residents. You know that your UK estate will suffer IHT and your beneficiaries will have to pay local taxes on your death but you can’t do anything about it.

So isn’t it about time you stopped burying your head in the sand and took some sound financial advice? With proper financial planning you can maximise disposable income as well as create, protect and arrange the eventual transfer of your wealth to loved ones.

Can you afford to carry on like this or are you going to give up being a nomad and finally be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing your financial affairs are all in order?

British and non Spanish registered vehicles considered as abandoned, are being towed away

You will no longer be able to leave your British registered vehicle parked in a public place when you leave the country. Nonresident property owners are under the illusion that they can drive their British registered cars on visits to Spain. Unless you have a garage or private parking in a gated community, you are at risk of losing your vehicle. Contrary to the belief of property owners, numerous urbanizations do not necessarily have private parking. The police do not contact owners of foreign plated cars before they are confiscated. A vehicle will be considered as abandoned, after it has been stationed in the same place for longer than one month. If the vehicle is not been reclaimed within thirty days, it is likely to be crushedCosta Advice Bureau would also like to bring to your attention the law relating to nonresident vehicles. The law states that resident and nonresident alike will no longer be permitted to drive a foreign plated car in spain; But genuine holidaymakers ARE entitled to drive a non-Spanish vehicle. The police will be stopping vehicles to assure that the law is being adhered to. Property owners driving a foreign plated vehicle, could be fined and possibly have their car impounded.

Rules regarding dog ownership

The following should be noted and taken into consideration. The owner of a domestic animal is bound to maintain the animal in a good and sanitary condition. 1. The owner is responsible, in the event of any harm, damage, or inconvenience caused by their pet to persons, objects,

roads, and public places.2. The law prohibits the abandonment of animals in the streets or any other areas.3. All pets must be registered in the municipal register for pets. Contact your town hall or local police station. The registration document and the certificate to prove that the animal has been inoculated against rabies, must be available to present to the relevant authority 4. In public, dogs must be fitted with both a collar and a leash at all times. Pets that weigh more than 20 kilograms, and dogs listed as dangerous should also be fitted with a muzzle.5. Dogs are prohibited from fouling the streets, sidewalks and all other areas intended for public use. Should the latter occur, the owners are responsible and must collect the droppings.6. It is strictly forbidden to feed any animal in the street; it is also against the law to deposit food in containers, with the intention of feeding stray animals in public places.Fines for non-compliance of the law (Protection of animals) vary from seventy five euros up to a staggering thirty thousand euros. Defiance of the (dangerous dogs act) can incur fines from one hundred and fifty euros up to fifteen thousand euros.In event of violation of these rules, the relevant authority will initiate disciplinary proceedings as stated in the rules for ‘the protection of animals in Andalucía’ (Law 11/2003 of 24 November).

british Consulate Pension, benefit and Healthcare Team

All expatriates are advised to make a will, as intestacy can cause great difficulty or inconvenience to heirs and dependants, particularly where there are children who could be left in a foreign country with no parents or guardian designated. We at the Consulate understand it is acceptable to make a British will for any property or assets in the UK, and a Spanish will for property or assets held in Spain.A will according to Spanish law is normally signed in front of a Spanish Notary Public. However, Spanish law is complex, and differs considerably from English law, so

professional legal advice should be sought on all aspects. The British Consulates across Spain can provide you with a list of English-speaking lawyers upon request who may be able to assist with writing a will. Contact your nearest consulate to request this.Further information about the Spanish Central Wills Register is available on the Spanish Ministry of Justice website (www.mjusticia.gob.es) under “Trámites y gestiones personales” and “Certificado de Actos de Última Voluntad”.

A una desconocida, la mujer que dona sus libros

Ah, verdad es que la victoria pasa por que nos hagamos humildes.Esta mano temblando, y esta otra en el fuego, y la otra en la obra, y la otra en el trébol, mano humilde de obrero en el silencio.

Estos libros son míos,ah, verdad es que las hojas se quedaron entre mis dedos,que la lectura pasa porque nos enfrentemos a la aventura de la vidadesde palabras, nombres, espacios y sueños,para ser realidad de nuestro propia historia; pero estos libros, ahora, dónde irán, los donaré al pueblo,a la biblioteca pública;ah, verdad que el hombre pasa por la viday es más que un libro;cómo no voy a estar un poco triste,si no me dejan llevarme casi nada al asilo,ya lo dijo Jesús: no llevéis para el camino mas que un bastón.

Del libro: “Con las manos ocupadas”

Continuidad de los empleadosSiguen ahí, ellos, los empleados,luna invencible los espera hasta el anochecer,trovadora una lágrimaen el espejose convierte en lluvia y sonríe,agua en el pecho de cristal;el río que no muere,busca, y se seca ese llantocon la luz temprana,cuando la noche acaba (sin versos pusilánimes del corazón de la noche);ellos siguen esperando,alimenta la piedra su razón en el agua.

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

Hombres, luna, corazón, mar y esperanza.Hombres que trabajan y compiten y en los muslos del solse dispersa el color en la mañana;la vida es este transcurrir ligero, despacio,el cuerpo y el alma,tiempo de comenzar a trabajar, tiempo de ganarse el pan de cada día,para el cuerpo y para el alma que adivina sus potenciasen el sustento compartido.

Francisco Rodríguez HerreraDel libro: “Con las manos ocupadas”

Compartamos sueños yel descansoNo titubees ante la piedra de la noche,qué pesado el desvelo (cuánto aturde una leña que arde y no calienta).Ya sé que estás cansada. Deseas estar sola. El descanso y la paz...No vaciles y rompe la oscuridad con un beso.Soy puerto y no tengo barca, la buscaré en tus sueños. Déjame explicarte lo que soy, lo que deseo ser en aprender de fórmulas las sencillas estrellas, destilando luz para los cuerpos cansados, llenos de marcha obrera: el día ha sido duro y blanco, ocupado en oficio que se pretende humano.Y me cuentas tus cosas.No flaquees y rompamos la oscuridad con caricias y abrazos.Pero cuánto cansancio dejó el día de hoy al obrero que canta,y cuánta luz ahora entre los dos,porque la leña se hizo luna iluminada.

Francisco Rodríguez HerreraDel libro: “Con las manos ocupadas”

Siembra y versaMano que siembra y versa, mano que acaricia,ola de cuerpo en su mar humano, toma mi ilusión, toma mi alma, mi cabello, mano sin mano, tronco de árbol en su rama creciendo, palpa, oh mano de amor, mi cabello y mi alma,mano de luz sosteniendo la música que no veo,la que toco y siento y acaudala el silbido de la luna, una mano de agua y de memoria, de baño en las fuentes del silencio, donde la mano ora, templada, virgen,obrera y conmovida también, joven y anciana,mano tocando el vello vago de la adolescencia, bozo del baile del muchacho que canta.

Spanish lawyers based in Sabinillas, ManilvaEnglish spoken

This month we are going to ask you to fill in a questionnaire. Keep your answers and next month we will discuss what we will call ‘good workouts V bad workouts, good food and better food.’ We will also discuss ways of keeping your adrenal glands healthy (this is where cortisol is made) and how to keep up with the demand for testosterone.We see this everyday in clinical situations. The inactive office, chair bound worker suffers from the ‘too little’ syndrome. Athletes if they do not govern their training loads appropriately also break down as they suffer the ‘too much’ syndrome. So answer the questions below to see whether you do enough or too much.

Are you doing too much or not enough?

(JoJo) I saw a client today that reminded me of the fine line between doing too much or too little in terms of exercise and in particular gym based strength work. The question I get asked most is- How long should a workout last and how often should we do it?So this brings us to the concept of tissue adaptation. All tissues in our body take time to adapt to a progressive load. Tendons, muscle, connective tissues, joint structures such as cartilage and bone. If we do too little, then we do not provide the stimulus to the tissues to adapt so we degenerate. Therefore they are more prone to injury. If we do too much and too often, then recovery does not occur fully to the stress applied to the tissue. Injury can also occur.(Claudia) When I see clients who are under stress whether from over-exercising, eating the wrong foods or stressful lifestyle, I focus on their adrenals. Your adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and secrete cortisol and adrenaline – our stress hormones which help us manage stress. When athletes burn out, it is because their adrenal glands have become exhausted.

1-Do you get hot and sweaty and a little out of breathe for at least 20 mins?

A- EverydayB- NeverC-2-3 Times weeklyB- Only on special occasions-I’m married

2-Do you have muscle soreness after exercise?C-Yes always- sometimes i can hardly moveB-No neverA-Occasionally after a strenuousness workout or something newB- What’s a muscle? how do I make it sore?

3-Do you struggle to gain muscle or loose fat?B- YesA- NoB- Never tried

4- Is your body soft and fat?A- No, I’m perfectB- Yes- but mainly the middle is soft- legs and arms are OK- they never seem to change now what training I doB- Yes all over and it’s getting worse

5-What do your workouts involve?A- Mainly free weights, maybe some sprint work, skipping,circuit class, interval workouts- quite varied but always hot and sweaty -always pushing myselfC- Mainly C.V, running machine, cross trainer, spin class or aerobics, no weights, running more than 5kB-Golf, running around after kids,maybe a dance class, walking, swimming for pleasure.B- Walking to and from the car or the fridge

6-I struggle to get up in the morning (don’t feel properly awake until 10am). I often have an afternoon low between 3-5pm, and then get a second wind after dinner

A-No not at all like meC-This is me!C-Mornings???

7-When I start to slow down I grab the chocolate, coffee, colas, cookie jar etc to keep me goingA-Hardly ever, these foods are rare treatsC-Yes, I rely on these foods for energy boosts throughout the dayC-With a good dosing of whipped cream on top

8-When I’m stressed I become hungry, confused, irritable or shakyA-NoC-YesC-What do mean, grrrrrrr

9-I often crave salt or foods high in saltA-NoC-Yes

10-I always feel tired, no matter how much sleep I getA-NoC-YesC-Yawn!

Mainly A- Just rightWell done- Obviously you train hard and vary your workout, aiming for full body workouts is a much healthier approach than isolating one muscle group. Just make sure you don’t over train and put your adrenals under to much stress- It is recommended that you have at least one full rest day a week.Well done! Your adrenals appear to be performing well and you’re not putting undue stress on your body.

Mainly B Too LittleOoops- Time to make some changes- you need to move your body more to burn off some of the excess calories- combining CV and weights will help increase the lean muscle at the same time as burning off fat.Too much cardio work alone doesn’t grow the lean muscle. Lean muscle increases the bodies metabolic rate (the rate of which you burn off food) this helps take off some of the pressure from the adrenals

Mainly c - Too muchIts great that you love to train your body- but too much exercise can put the body under a lot of stress- you then get burn out and inflammation this can lead to injuries and slow recovery. A great workout is aimed at intensity and not duration (max 40 mins)- combine aerobic work with compound (more than one muscle group) exercises- long distance running or too much cardio can ‘eat’away at the very muscle you working hard to create- so aim to do something everyday, even for 20 minutes rather than doing long sessions every other day. Muscle soreness is a sign of muscle stimulation and eventually gained strength- muscle pain is a sign of too much.You are showing some signs that your adrenal glands are under pressure. We will look into this in more detail next month. However, in the meantime, try to get some early nights, eat plenty of dark green leafy veg (rich in magnesium), and balance your blood sugar levels by cutting down on sugar and stimulants, and favouring wholegrain ‘integral’ versions of bread, rice and pasta.
