Valdepeñas ist eine spanische Stadt in der Provinz Ciudad Real, die zur Autonomen Gemeinschaft Kastilien-La Mancha gehört. Die Einwohner und Einwohnerinnen nennen sich Valdepeñeros bzw. Valdepeñeras.

Ortsname
Der Name bedeutet Tal der Felsen. Er deutet auf die Lage des Ortes an einer Biegung des Río Jabalón hin, in einem Tal mit vielen Kalksteinfelsen im Untergrund.

Die Stadt hat die Beinamen Muy Leal e Invicta (sehr loyal und unbesiegt) und Muy Heroica (sehr heldenhaft). Der Titel Muy Leal e Invicta wurde der Überlieferung nach von Königin Isabella der Katholiken verliehen, als sie in Vorbereitung der Eroberung Granadas der Stadt weilte. Ein entsprechendes Dokument ist nicht erhalten; möglicherweise ging es im spanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg verloren. Das Motto ist im Wappen eines Buntglasfensters in der Kirche Nuestra Señora de la Asunción zu sehen. Der Titel Muy Heroica wurde 1823 von König Ferdinand VII. verliehen, in Würdigung der Schlacht von Valdepeñas von 1808.

Außerdem trägt sie den populären Beinamen Ciudad del Vino, Stadt des Weines.

Geografie

Valdepeñas liegt im südlichen Zentrum Spaniens, im Südosten der Provinz Ciudad Real. Sie ist umgeben von den Gebieten Montiel, Campo de Calatrava und der Sierra Morena.

Die Stadt ist zum größten Teil auf Hügeln von wenigen Metern Höhe gebaut. Ihre maximale Höhe erreicht sie in der Sierra del Peral mit 963 M.ü.M. (963 m). Einige andere Berge erreichen eine Höhe von 900 m, besonders in den Bergen in der Nähe von Baños del Peral im Nordosten und in der Sierra de Síles im Nordwesten. Dieses Gebiet im Nordwesten ist von natürlichen Wäldern bedeckt, mit Eichen, Stein-Eichen und Zistrosen.

Den nördlichen Teil der Stadt durchquert das große Aquädukt Aquifer 23. Im Süden fließt der Río Jabalón durch das Gemeindegebiet. Der Stausee Embalse de Mari Sánchez, auch Embalse de la Cabezuela genannt, versorgt von Südosten her die Stadt mit Wasser. Das ihn umgebende Gebiet Los Cerillos steht unter Naturschutz.

Die beiden außerhalb gelegenen Ansiedlungen El Peral und Consolación gehören zum Stadtgebiet. Consolación liegt 16 km nördlich von Valdepeñas an der A-4. El Peral liegt im Nordosten der Stadt, 6 km entfernt, an der Straße nach La Solana. El Peral ist ursprünglich eine landwirtschaftliche Ansiedlung, die sich um einen Brunnen mit eisenhaltigem Wasser herum entwickelte. Im neunzehnten Jahrhundert wurde dort ein Kurbad gegründet.

Klima
Das örtliche Klima ist mediterran-kontinental, mit heißen Sommern und kalten Wintern.

Im Winter betragen die Minimaltemperaturen 0° bis 2°, mitunter gibt es auch Frost bis −5°. Im Mittel belaufen sich die monatlichen Niederschläge im Winter auf nicht mehr als 20 l/m² bis 30 l/m², meist in Form von Regen. Schnee kommt gelegentlich vor; typischerweise fällt er nur an rund 3 Tagen im Jahr. In den seltenen Fällen, in denen er liegenbleibt, handelt es sich meist um nicht mehr als 5 cm – 7 cm.

Im Sommer übertreffen die Tageshöchsttemperaturen 30° – 35°, nicht selten auch 40°. Niederschläge sind sehr sporadisch oder fallen ganz aus. Gelegentlich kommt es allerdings zu Stürmen, die auf einen Schlag einen Platzregen mit rund 30 l/m² mit sich bringen.

Im Frühling und Herbst herrschen mildere Temperaturen von 15° bis 20°, wobei die Schwankungsbreite von Frost bis zu Temperaturen über 30° reicht. Die monatlichen Niederschläge fallen mit rund 45 l/m² reichlicher aus als in den anderen Monaten. In sehr regenreichen Monaten wie beispielsweise im April 2013 können auch 100 l/m² erreicht werden.

Politik

Regionalverwaltung
Valdepeñas ist Hauptort der regionalen Gerichtsbarkeit. Sie umfasst die Orte Moral de Calatrava, Santa Cruz de Mudela, Viso del Marqués, Torrenueva, Castellar de Santiago und Almuradiel.

Wappen

Das Wappen wurde am 7. März 1995 offiziell genehmigt. Es ersetzte das frühere, 1910 oder früher von dem Historiker Eusebio Vasco gestaltete Wappen. Die Beschreibung lautet:
 links in Silber das Kreuz von Calatrava
 rechts ein Krakelee aus Silber und Schwarz, umgeben von einer roten Borde mit goldenen Andreaskreuzen
 unten in Rot ein goldenes Fass
 als Krone die spanische Königskrone

Bürgermeister seit 1979
 1979 – 1983: Esteban López Vega, UCD
 1983 – 1987: Esteban López Vega, AP
 1987 – 1991: Esteban López Vega, PP
 1991 – 1995: Salvador Galán Ruiz-Poveda, PSOE
 1995 – 1999: Victoriano González de la Aleja y Saludador, PSOE
 1999 – 2003: Rafael Martínez del Carnero Calzada, PP
 seit 2003: Jesús Martín Rodriguez Caro, PSOE (Stand Ende 2018)

Partnerstadt
  Cognac, Frankreich

Bevölkerung

Die Bevölkerung besteht aus rund 4.000 Einwanderern und 28.000 Spaniern. In den Jahren 1930 – 1940 erlebte Valdepeñas einen Geburtenboom. Damals war die Einwohnerzahl fast so hoch wie heute. Danach ging die Bevölkerungszahl zurück. Sie stagnierte von den 1950er Jahren bis Ende der 1990er Jahre. Dieser Rückgang und die anschließende Stagnation wird darauf zurückgeführt, dass durch den spanischen Bürgerkrieg die Weinwirtschaft geschädigt wurde. So zogen viele Einwohner in andere Städte um. Seit 2000 wächst die Bevölkerung jedoch wieder; die Stadt verzeichnet seitdem eine der höchsten Wachstumsraten in Kastilien-La Mancha.

Wirtschaft

Landwirtschaft

In und um Valdepeñas werden hauptsächlich Wein und Oliven angebaut. Der örtliche Wein hat seine eigene kontrollierte Herkunftsbezeichnung Valdepeñas. Sie wird von der Asociación Interprofesional de la D.O. Valdepeñas gehütet. Die Weine werden in alle Welt exportiert.

Auch die Schafzucht in der Region und die Herstellung des Manchego-Käse sind von wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Ein Gremium in der Stadt, der Consejo Regulador del Queso Manchego, reguliert dieses Geschäft.

Industrie und Gewerbe
In Valdepeñas gibt es eine Fabrik zur Produktion und Herstellung elektronischer Spitzentechnik, die Planta de Producción e Investigación de Sistemas de Alta Tecnología Electrónica. Mehrere Gewerbegebiete beherbergen Betriebe unterschiedlicher Branchen:
 Polígono del Vino
 Polígono Empresarial Entrecaminos
 Polígono de Cachiporro
 Polígono Nª Sra. de la Paz

Das Centro Logístico de Transporte Pesado bietet Park- und Rastmöglichkeiten für schwere Lastwagen.

Verkehr

Der Bahnhof liegt an der Strecke Madrid – Cádiz. Die Autobahn A-4 Autovía del Sur läuft durch das Stadtgebiet. Die Autobahn CM-45 Autovía del IV Centenario ist in Bau.

Tourismus
Valdepeñas liegt an der Ruta del Quijote. Der Tren del Vino (Wein-Zug) bietet Übernachtung und Gastronomie.

Geschichte

Vorgeschichte
Im Gemeindegebiet liegen etliche prähistorische Fundstätten, beispielsweise bronzezeitliche Überreste von Beobachtungstürmen und -Plattformen auf den umgebenden Anhöhen. Sie werden der sogenannten Motilla-Kultur zugerechnet, einer bronzezeitlichen Kultur auf der iberischen Halbinsel zwischen dem 20. und dem 13. vorchristlichen Jahrhundert. Fernando Vasco Merlo ordnete sie in seiner Monographie Historia de Valdepeñas irrtümlich der Castrokultur zu. Sie sind jedoch viel älter und etwa zeitgleich mit der El-Argar-Kultur entstanden.

Antike

Iberische Zeit

Ein bemerkenswertes Relikt aus jener Epoche sind die Ruinen des iberischen Oppidums Cerro de las Cabezas. Es gehört zur iberischen Oretania-Kultur, deren Siedlungsgebiet die südliche Mancha und das nördliche Andalusien umfasste.

Römische und westgotische Zeit
Im 16. Jahrhundert fand man dort, wo das Trinitarier-Kloster erbaut wurde, römische Münzen, Grabsteine, und die Fundamente einer römischen Villa. Diese blieb auch in der Westgotenzeit noch erhalten.

Mittelalter

Islamische Periode
Während der islamischen Zeit gehörte die Region zur Taifa von Toledo. Aus jener Zeit sind Mauerreste einer Befestigung erhalten, die in die Mauern der Kirche Nuestra Señora de la Asunción einbezogen wurden. Auf der Südseite sind die Markierungen einer Sonnenuhr und verschiedene Inschriften in arabischer Sprache erhalten. Laut Fernando Vasco Merlo gab es an der Nordfassade an der Puerta Umbría zwei Grabsteine mit einer arabischen Inschrift. Der Anfang der längeren Inschrift auf dem ersten habe gelautet: "Im Namen Gottes, des barmherzigen Gottes. Großer Gott. Prächtiger Gott, der Reichtum, aber auch Armut erweisen kann. Großer, vollkommener, einziger Gott. ..." Auf dem zweiten seien nur drei Worte leserlich gewesen: "Vereint, gemeinsam, werden wir sterben."

Laut mündlicher Überlieferung erlaubte eine Bulle des Kalifats den Bewohnern, Wein anzubauen, was Moslems im Allgemeinen nicht gestattet ist.

Reconquista und der Orden von Calatrava

Im Bereich, der heute hinter der alten Befestigung und der Kirche Nuestra Señora de la Asunción liegt, entstand der Ort Valdepeñas. Er wurde gegründet kraft eines Erlasses der Königin Berenguela von Kastilien nach der Schlacht bei Las Navas de Tolosa im Jahr 1212.
Die erste schriftliche Quelle, die diese neue Siedlung erwähnt, stammt von 1243. Sie findet sich in den Archiven des Ordens von Calatrava. Seit dieser Zeit befand sich Valdepeñas im Besitz des Ordens. Der neue Ort gruppierte die Bevölkerung aus verstreuten umliegenden Siedlungen an einer Stelle. Deren Namen, Aberturas, Corral Rubio de Jabalón, Santa María de las Flores und Castilnuevo, sind in alten Lokalnamen erhalten. Die Siedler kamen aus den Königreichen Kastilien und Aragón sowie aus dem León, in der Mehrzahl aus dessen galicischem Teil. Sie pflegten den Weinanbau, der die muslimische Zeit überdauert hatte, und erweiterten ihn. Der Ort lag an der Grenze zweier großer Militärorden, des Ordens von Calatrava und des Ordens von Santiago. Noch heute folgen die Grenzen der Comarcas Campo de Calatrava und Campo de Montiel den alten Gebietsgrenzen.

Aus dieser Zeit und den folgenden Jahrhunderten stammt die Kirche Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. Sie entstand vermutlich als Wehrkirche des Ordens von Calatrava im 12. – 13. Jahrhundert.

In dieser mittelalterlichen Zeit existierte eine jüdische Gemeinde. Es gab zwei Synagogen. Beide wurden später zu christlichen Kirchen umgewidmet. Die eine beherbergt heute das städtische Auditorium Francisco Nieva. Die andere wurde zur Parroquia del Cristo. Der heutige Standort dieser Pfarrkirche befindet sich weiter vorn.

Im Laufe des Wachstums wurden die Straßen von Valdepeñas neu ausgerichtet. Heute laufen sie um die alte Festung im Zentrum der Stadt zusammen. Daher entspricht sie nicht mehr dem mittelalterlichen Stadtbild mit schmalen, ungerichteten Gassen.

Die letzten Mauren verließen Valdepeñas im 16. Jahrhundert aufgrund eines Vertreibungsdekrets.

Frühe Neuzeit

Die Katholischen Könige
Laut Fernando Vasco Merlo nahmen die Katholischen Könige im Februar 1488 Quartier in der Stadt, um die Eroberung von Granada vorzubereiten. Während des Feldzugs ließen sie ihre Kinder dort in der Obhut der Hausbesitzerin. Deren Sohn, Alfonso de Merlo, führte einen Trupp von 200 Mann in die Schlacht, wofür ihn das Königspaar zum Ritter schlug. Einige seiner Nachkommen wanderten nach Amerika aus und errangen bedeutende Stellungen in Chile und Peru. Der Überlieferung zufolge gebar die Königin Isabella auf einer ihrer Reisen in den Süden Spaniens ein Kind, das nicht überlebte und in der Kirche Nuestra Señora de la Asunción beigesetzt wurde. Das Wappen der Katholischen Könige ist über dem Hauptportal der Kirche zu sehen, allerdings in schlechtem Erhaltungszustand.

16. und 17. Jahrhundert

Im 16. Jahrhundert entstanden einige Sakralbauten, unter ihnen der Convento de los Trinitarios, und ebenso eine Reihe von Herrenhäusern.

Ab der Herrschaft von Ferdinand dem Katholischen förderte das spanische Königshaus mit Nachdruck die militärischen Orden. Kraft einer Bulle vom Mai 1523 stellte Papst Hadrian VI. die Orden unter die Hoheit des Königs von Kastilien und León. Damit verbunden war die Gerichtsbarkeit über zwei Städte, eine davon Valdepeñas, sowie zweihundert Dörfer und mehrere Hundert Kleindörfer und Weiler, die über ein großes Gebiet verstreut lagen.

Die Marqueses von Santa Cruz
Um die Geldnot der Staatskasse zu lindern, verkaufte König Philipp II. im April 1575 die Stadt Valdepeñas an Álvaro de Bazán, den ersten Marques von Santa Cruz de Mudela, für 240.000 Dukaten. Damit stand Valdepeñas nicht mehr unter der Oberhoheit des Ordens von Calatrava.

Dank der Kultivierung des Weinbaus durch die Marqueses gelangte der Wein von Valdepeñas zu hohem Ansehen am habsburgisch-spanischen Königshof. Besonders begehrt wurde ein Roséwein namens Aloque. Laut Antonio Brotons verfügte Karl III., dass den Handwerkern, die die Puerta de Alcalá und die Puerta de Toledo in Madrid bauten, ihr Kontingent an Valdepeñas-Wein erhöht werden sollte.

Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts, mit dem siebten Marques von Santa Cruz, vereinigte sich die Adelsfamilie der Bazán mit der Familie Silva zur Linie Silva-Bazán. Anstelle des vormaligen Kommandantenhauses an der Einmündung der Calle de la Virgen in die Plaza des España wurde ein elegantes Barockpalais erbaut. Von letzterem blieb nichts erhalten, da es durch das Erdbeben von Lissabon 1755 völlig zerstört wurde. In den Sälen im französischen Stil fanden neben Festen und Banketten auch Theateraufführungen und Versammlungen von Intellektuellen und Literaten statt. So wurde Valdepeñas statt Santa Cruz zum eigentlichen Sitz der Marqueses, und zum Anziehungspunkt für das spanische Königshaus und den Hochadel.

Jüngere Geschichte

19. Jahrhundert

Während der napoleonischen Kriege kam es am 6. Juni 1808 zum Kampf von Valdepeñas (Contienda de Valdepeñas): Eine französische Truppe von 500 Mann forderte raschen Durchzug durch den Ort. Bürger von Valdepeñas errichteten stattdessen Barrikaden und beschossen die französische Truppe mit Granaten. Diese erlitten hohe Verluste und setzten ihrerseits die umliegenden Häuser in Brand. Angesichts der Gefahr, dass der gesamte Ort zerstört würde, gab die Ortsbehörde den Franzosen den Weg frei unter der Voraussetzung, dass sie nur am Ortsrand und nicht im Innern lagerten. Der französische Anführer, General Louis Liger-Belair, verzichtete jedoch am nächsten Tag auf den Weitermarsch, da es seiner Truppe an Munition mangelte. Die Franzosen zogen sich nach Manzaneres zurück. Als Helden in diesem Kampf werden auf spanischer Seite unter anderem Francisco Abad Moreno, genannt Chaleco, und Juana Galán, genannt La Galana, angesehen.

Später im 19. Jahrhundert wurde auch Valdepeñas, wie der Rest Spaniens, von Bürgerkriegen erschüttert. In den Karlistenkriegen sah sich der Ort in Scharmützel zwischen den Parteien und in Guerilla-Aktionen verstrickt. Infolge der neuen territorialen Aufteilung Spaniens im Jahr 1833 verschwand die Provinz La Mancha, und Valdepeñas wurde in die neue Provinz Ciudad Real eingegliedert. Zahlreiche Herrenhäuser sowie Besitztümer von religiösen Orden und Militärs gingen in andere Hände über und verloren an Wert.

Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde Valdepeñas an die Eisenbahn, das Stromnetz und die Wasserversorgung angeschlossen. Der Ort erlebte ein starkes Wachstum und wurde zu einem der größten in der Provinz. Die Einwohnerzahl verdoppelte sich. Es entstanden prunkvolle Bürgerhäuser und Villen. Einige Häuser in der Nähe des Bahnhofs bekamen einen eigenen Gleisanschluss, damit die Bahn dort Wein be- und entladen konnte. 1895 ernannte Königin Cristina Valdepeñas zur Stadt.

1897 erlitt Valdepeñas eine Überschwemmung in der Nähe des Baches La Veguilla, der die Stadt von Ost nach West durchquert. Ihr fielen mehrere Gewölbekeller zum Opfer.

20. Jahrhundert

Der spanische Bürgerkrieg setzte dem Boom ein Ende. Danach hielt die Stadt, abhängig von der Landwirtschaft und dem traditionellen familiären Weinbau, nicht mit der allgemeinen industriellen Entwicklung mit. Sie erlitt bis in die 1970er Jahre einen Bevölkerungsschwund, weil Bewohner Arbeit in den industriellen Zentren suchten.

1964 wurde das Denkmal Ángel de la Paz (Friedensengel) zu Ehren des Ejército de Tierra errichtet. Durch ein Attentat der marxistisch-leninistischen FRAP wurde es 1976 weitgehend zerstört.

1979 erlitt Valdepeñas erneut eine große Überschwemmung durch Hochwasser des Baches La Veguilla. Zwei Stadtviertel wurden zerstört, mehr als 20 Menschen kamen ums Leben.

In den 1980er Jahren erlebte Valdepeñas eine grundlegende Umstellung des Weinanbaus. Von den mehr als 600 traditionellen Weingütern wurden viele geschlossen. Es entstanden große Weingüter, die modernste Technik in der Weinherstellung und andere Vermarktungs-Methoden einsetzten. Der Wein, der traditionell die Tavernen von Madrid versorgte, geht seitdem auch an den internationalen Export. Verschiedene in der Region neue Rebsorten werden seitdem angebaut.

21. Jahrhundert
Seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts wuchs die Bevölkerungszahl stärker denn ja. Große neue Wohnviertel breiteten sich im Umland aus. Eine Reihe von Baumaßnahmen diente dazu, die Stadt zu modernisieren:

 Der sogenannte Canal, die Straße Avenida 1.º de Julio, wurde erneuert, mit einem Gehweg in der Mitte der Allee, Asphaltierung, neuen Kreisverkehren und neuen Parkplätzen.
 Die Kinderparks Parque Amapola und Parque del Sur sowie der Waldpark Cerro de San Cristóbal wurden eingerichtet.
 Der Business-Park von Valdepeñas wurde ab 2009 erbaut, mit dem Ziel, Arbeitsplätze für die Bevölkerung zu schaffen.
 2010 wurde die neue Kläranlage in der Nähe am Stausee Embalse de la Cabezuela mit einer verbesserten Abwasserbehandlung mit einer Kapazität von 120 Millionen Liter Wasser eingeweiht.
 Im selben Jahr wurde das neue nationale Polizeirevier in Anwesenheit des damaligen Innenministers Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba eingeweiht.

Kultur

Historische Bauwerke

Cerro de las Cabezas
Die iberische Stadt Cerro de las Cabezas erstreckt ihre Mauern von der Anhöhe des Hügels bis hinunter ins Tal des Río Jabalón. Drei Mauerringe unterteilen die Siedlung in die oben gelegene Akropolis, in die innere Siedlung und die äußere Siedlung. Die Gesamtfläche beträgt 14 hA.

Sie liegt auf Gemeindegebiet und ist über Ausfahrt Nr. 208 der Autobahn Madrid – Cádiz erreichbar.

Die Ausgrabungen förderten bisher nur einen kleinen Teil der iberischen Stadt zutage. Bisher freigelegte Teile zeigen die Urbanität der Siedlung. Zutage gefördert wurden Reste von Lagerhäusern, Wohn- und sakrale Gebäuden, Türmen und Mauern. Ein Besucherzentrum bietet audiovisuelle Vorführungen, Modelle, architektonische Rekonstruktionen und Informationen zur iberischen Kultur.

Architektur des 19. Jahrhunderts

Mit dem Boom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstand eine Reihe von Bauten des spanischen Modernismus, resultierend aus dem Bedürfnis des gehobenen Bürgertums nach Palazzo-ähnlichen Privathäusern und öffentlichen Gebäuden:

 Der Bahnhof spiegelt er wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung der Weinindustrie Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wider. Sein zentrales Gebäude ist zwei Stockwerke hoch. Auf den Plattformen befinden sich eiserne Veranden, die von Eisenstützen getragen werden. An der Fassade befinden sich laminierte Eisenkonsolen.
 Nach dem Bau des Bahnhofs wurde der Paseo de la Estación zu einer zentralen Straße Stadt. 1912 wurde dort der Pavillon gebaut, in dem jeden Sonntag die Stadtkapelle Musik spielte: der Templete de la Música. Es besteht aus 4 gusseisernen Säulen, die durch Metallbögen miteinander verbunden sind. Das Daches ist trapezförmig und innen mit Holz verkleidet.
 Das Casino La Confianza wurde 1913 eröffnet. Die Dekoration basiert hauptsächlich auf Naturformen: Blumenornamente, Kurven, asymmetrische Linien finden nicht nur in der Architektur, sondern auch in anderen Elementen wie den Fenstern und den Schmiedeeisen Anwendung. Vom ursprünglichen Bau wurden die Fassade, der Innenhof mit Säulen und das Zugangstreppenhaus mit seiner schmiedeeisernen Balustrade mit Blumenmotiven und seinem Buntglasfenster restauriert. Die Galerie des ersten Gebäudeteils und das Oberlicht im Eingang und der Haupthalle blieben ebenfalls erhalten. Heute dient das Casino als Kulturzentrum.
 Die Casa de los Izarra in der Calle Seis de Junio ist ein Doppelgebäude, dessen einer Teil aus Stein und dessen anderer aus Ziegeln gemauert ist. Der Ziegelbau erinnert an die Mudéjar-Tradition. Es hat zwei Erker aus Eisen und Glas, die mit eisernen Pflanzenmotiven verziert sind. Ein Glasdach überdeckt den Innenhof. Auf ihm steht ein Türmchen mit ähnlichen Verzierungen wie an den Erkern.
 Die Casa de los Castellanos wurde 1893 – 1894 erbaut und diente ursprünglich als Haus der Familie Castellanos. Heutzutage beherbergt es ein Trainingszentrum. Ab den 1950er Jahren durchlief es eine Reihe von Besitz- und Nutzungswechseln. Im Jahr 1987 wurde es als Sitz der nationalen Polizei genutzt, bis es 2010 seine heutige Bestimmung erhielt. Umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten förderten die alten Stuckarbeiten des Innenhofes und der Zugangstreppen zutage. Auch die Lage der alten Kapelle des Christus von Burgos, die eine zentrale Rolle im häuslichen Leben spielte, konnte ermittelt werden.
 Bei der Casa Ruiz-Poveda an der Ecke Calle Real-Pintor – Calle Mendoza sind der geschlossene Balkon im ersten Obergeschoss und der offene im zweiten Obergeschoss bemerkenswert. Das Erdgeschoss mit seinen Arkaden entlang ist für Läden bestimmt.
 Die Casa de los Cruz in der Calle Seis de Junio 75 ist beispielgebend für die Architektur um die Jahrhundertwende zum 20. Jahrhundert, während des Aufschwungs im Weinbau. Das Haus besteht aus zwei Gebäudeteilen mit Steinsockel im ersten Teil. Im oberen Teil befindet sich ein Balkon, der von verzierten Stützen getragen wird, die mit Rollos verziert sind. Hervorzuheben sind die geschwungenen Giebel.

Kirchen

 Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. An der Plaza de España gelegen, bildet sie das Zentrum, aus dem sich die Stadt entwickelte. Ihr Ursprung liegt vermutlich am Ende des 12. und Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts. Sie wurde ursprünglich als Wehrkirche als Teil der Burg des Ordens von Calatrava erbaut. Der Bau besteht aus zwei Schiffen, dem Hauptschiff und dem nach San Lorenzo benannten Seitenschiff, sowie eine Kapelle im manieristischen Stil an der Seite. Die Portalfassade mit der Puerta del Sol im elisabethanischen Stil ist der Kirchenpatronin gewidmet. Sie wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des fünfzehnten Jahrhunderts erbaut. Seitlich zum Haupttor befindet sich die Puerta de Catecúmenos. Der Turm stammt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Er besteht aus fünf Segmenten und hat eine Gesamthöhe von 36,6 m. Das Altarbild ist eine Kopie des Originals von 1553. Es enthält sechs Tafeln, die einige Quellen der Schule des Malers Hernando Yánez, einem Schüler von Raffael, zuschreiben. Seine italienische Anmutung, sein Klassizismus und die Verwendung des Chiaroscuro sind typisch für die zweite Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts. Das Original ging während des Bürgerkriegs verloren.
 Die Ermita de San José ist eine Kapelle aus dem 18. Jahrhundert in der Calle Seis de Junio 30.
 Die Trinitarierkirche (Iglesia de los padres Trinitarios) im Paseo Luis Palacios im barockklassizistischen Stil ist stark von den Einflüssen des madrilenischen Barock geprägt und weist Ähnlichkeiten mit der Iglesia de la Encarnación in Madrid auf.
 Die Ursprünge der Iglesia del Santo Cristo in der Calle Cristo  82 werden auf das Jahr 1611 datiert.
 Die Kapelle Ermita de San Marcos in der Calle Seis de Junio 1 wurde im letzten Drittel des 18. Jahrhunderts erbaut.
 Die Kapelle Ermita Virgen de la Cabeza in der Calle 156 wurde 1698 erbaut.

Museen

 Mühlenmuseum. Der Maler Gregorio Prieto wahrte in seinen Bildern die Erinnerung an die typischen Bauwerke der Mancha, die langsam verschwanden, besonders die Windmühlen. Sie waren ein Hauptthema in allen Ausstellungen auf der ganzen Welt, beispielsweise in London, Kopenhagen und New York. In den 1950er Jahren ließ er in Valdepeñas eine große Windmühle als Museum für seine Windmühlen-Bilder bauen.
 Das Museum der Fundación Gregorio Prieto in der Calle Pintor Mendoza 57 befindet sich in einem Haus aus dem 17. Jahrhundert im typischen Stil der Mancha. Die Sammlung umfasst mehr als 3.000 Werke, die meisten davon von Gregorio Prieto. Darüber hinaus zeigt das Museum Werke anderer Maler des 20. Jahrhunderts, beispielsweise Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de Chirico, José Vázquez Díaz, und Francis Bacon. Ferner verfügt es über Sammlungen von Originalzeichnungen von Federico García Lorca und Rafael Alberti sowie kolorierte religiöse Holzschnitzereien aus mehreren Jahrhunderten.
 Das Centro de Interpración del Agua befindet sich in Baños del Peral, 7 km vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. Es ist ein Informationszentrum über den biologischen Kreislauf des Wassers, seine mineralischen und seine medizinischen Eigenschaften. Ein Raum ist der Geschichte des Kurbades von Peral gewidmet.
 Das städtische Museum (Museo municipal) befindet sich im Zentrum der Stadt in der Calle Real 42 in einem Haus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Im Erdgeschoss zeigt es Bilder örtlicher Maler wie Óscar García Benedí, Ignacio Crespo Foix und Francisco Nieva sowie archäologische Fundstücke, vornehmlich aus den Ausgrabungen am Cerro de las Cabezas. Im ersten Obergeschoss befindet sich eine Sammlung für zeitgenössische Kunst, die laut Darstellung der Stadt als eine der bedeutendsten in Kastilien-La Mancha gilt. Gezeigt werden Werke von Antonio López García, Pancho Cossio, Agustín Úbeda, Antonio Guijarro, Juan Barjola, Martínez Novillo, Alfredo Alcaín, Julio Vaquero, Alejandro Quincoces, Óscar Benedí, Pedro Castrortega, José Manuel Ciria, Antón Patiño und Javier Garcerá sowie Skulpturen von Venancio Blanco, García Donaire, Xuxo Vázquez, Santiago de Santiago, David Lechuga, Fernando Kiriko, Oscar Alvariño Belinchón und Belén González.
 Das Auditorio Inés Ibañéz Braña befindet sich in der ehemaligen Ermita de la Veracruz, einem Gebäude aus dem 16. Jahrhundert an der Plaza de la Veracruz. Es dient für kulturelle Aktivitäten wie Ausstellungen und Vorträgen und kann nur während solcher Veranstaltungen besucht werden.
 Das Museo del Vino in der Calle Princesa 39 zeigt in einem modernen Gebäude die Geschichte und die Kultur des Weinbaus mittels interaktiver Medien.

Feste

Anfang September feiert man jedes Jahr in der Stadt die Fiestas de la vendimia, das Weinfest. Parallel dazu findet seit 1940 die Exposición Nacional de Artes Plásticas statt. Für diese Ausstellung erhielt die Stadt die 2001 die Medalla de Oro a las Artes (Goldmedaille für die schönen Künste).

Vom 30. Juli an wird für drei bis vier Tage das Volksfest Feria de Agosto mit Fahrgeschäften und Buden statt. Ein mittelalterlicher Markt beschließt am letzten Tag das Fest.

Sport

Der bedeutendste Sportklub ist der Fußballklub Valdepeñas fútbol sala, dem 2018 der Aufstieg in die Primera División gelang.

Correct Care Solutions Sued for Lack of Inmate Medical Care in Nebraska
A lawsuit against prison health provider Correct Care Solutions and Omaha's Douglas County Jail alleges negligence and malpractice on behalf of 13 inmates, at least one whom died due to lack of treatment.
That inmate had just been released from the facility, and he barely made it out of the cab taking him to a relative's home from the jail before collapsing. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where a doctor diagnosed him with advanced lung cancer. During his incarceration, he had complained about not feeling well and lost an astonishing 64 pounds on his 6-foot frame. He died just 10 days after his release.
Now Known as Wellpath
Tennessee-based Correct Care Solutions recently merged with Correctional Medical Group Companies, and the company now calls itself Wellpath, apparently with no trace of irony. The new name certainly sounds benign and friendly, but Correct Care's history is anything but that.
As of 2017, the company has been sued at least 140 times and blamed for at least six deaths, and that's just since 2005. Correct Care had contracts with over 100 federal and state prisons and more than 300 jails, although many of these entities have canceled or refused to renew contracts with this provider. However, the merger will make Wellpath the biggest player in the prison healthcare industry, according to Bloomberg News.
The deal involved a risky, highly leveraged $610 million loan for its buyout by a Miami-based private equity firm, HIG Capital LLC. A representative from the nonprofit Corrections Accountability Project, which opposes privatization of healthcare in the criminal justice system, told Bloomberg News that as with all monopoly concerns, "the bigger these companies get, the more problematic they become, because they're serving a captive market, literally."
Odds are the already large number of lawsuits against Correct Care Solutions will continue under Wellpath.
The Douglas County Lawsuit
Consider the Douglas County lawsuit as just a microcosm of the lack of care virtually synonymous with Correct Care. Besides the inmate whose complaints of pain and drastic weight loss were ignored, the allegations include that one inmate, Edward Leza, 64, was known to suffer from Bell's palsy, a condition that causes paralysis on one side of the face.
Correct Care refused to test or treat him for Bell's palsy, but even worse, it refused to test for stroke, which can also cause this type of paralysis. Leza was later transferred to a jail in Wisconsin, where he was almost immediately diagnosed as a stroke patient. The doctor at the Wisconsin jail – not a Correct Care facility - estimated Leza had gone without treatment for his condition for several months.
A 26-year-old inmate broke his hip at the Douglas County Jail after a fight with another inmate. The inmate alleges the Correct Care staff told him a doctor would not see him unless he was bleeding or "a bone was sticking out." For three weeks, he was unable to walk and get to the bathroom, frequently soiling himself. A guard took pity on him and provided him with a cane.
It wasn't until three weeks after the break that Correct Care finally permitted him to have an X-ray, and the fracture was revealed. Doctors now say he will need several hip replacement surgeries over the remainder of his life.
Another inmate suspected he had a sexually transmitted disease, as he was experiencing painful urination. Rather than test him, Correct Care staff simply told him to drink more water. This made the problem worse, since he had to urinate more often. He received no treatment for six months until sent to another Nebraska facility after sentencing.
There, it was promptly discovered he had chlamydia, which is easily treatable with antibiotics. He suffered for all those months with a condition that was simple to treat. Appalling is too kind a word, but it's a more appropriate term than Wellpath.
What color is the ocean?

How does one capture the essence of a place?
Here is a second taster of my Insight City Guide to London… Borough market, Kew, Ham House, Hogarth house, Chelsea Physic Garden, Westminster Cathedral, Nelson's Column, Hampton Court and Chiswick House. I just laugh at the three elderly ladies in Chelsea Physic Garden with the busk of a man's head amongst the flowers. I often am trying to get low and shoot through layers to create atmosphere. Trying to remember to look for all the angles; the graphic shot from above, or the low down close up where you can almost smell those cakes! Feel free to write to me at the foot of any of my blogs.
Beyond my commissions I teach a few short courses at Morley College, London. Why not come along to one of my 'Street Photography' courses? Two Saturday workshop 21 & 28 Sept 2013, and better still a 6 week program, working to themes within Street photography, 3 hrs a week from 4 November 2013.
I had a great commission to shoot a new book '500 Crochet blocks' by Quintet Publishing. As anyone who has photographed a whole book before knows, once you hit the first scheduled day's shoot it is full on. But working hard at it I loved the opportunity to draw on my professional past experience as an Art Editor along with being a photographer. I propped, pruned and tweaked my way through over 80 main shots. I dreamt of wool and it stuck to me whereever I went in this summer of 2012, but very happy with the results, (nothing to do with the fact I was off to Istanbul for two weeks afterwards : – ) honest!). Thank you to the team for inviting me to work with you. Everyone worked so hard.
'Highly professional and endlessly creative, Lydia has produced just the right images for our projects. The books have truly benefitted from her involvement – the photos are eye-catching and perfectly arranged.' – Margaret Swinson, Production Editor, Quintet Publications.

A great day had at the Chelsea Flower Show press day yesterday. The light may have been a bit flat and dull until late in the day but still the glowing plant and flower combinations were amazing. Also a great opportunity to catch up with lots of familiar faces that I have know from my time as a freelance Art Editor on Gardens' World magazine and others very talented freelance writers. Many now doing some very interesting blogs.
I did spot the odd famous face but most of time I had my eye looking down the lens at a flower or two. Enjoyed a refreshing complimentary cocktail at The Caravan Clubs garden… very nice , very strong! Waited about an hour before sipping a champaign at the David Austin Stand. Could not go the whole day without a little indulgence.
Chelsea Flower Show 2012… here I come!
Yippee! Another year I have the great honor to be going to the RHS Chelsea Flower show. Hopefully lots of good pictures to be taken for placing with my picture library client, GAP Photos. Last year was great weather, for a change. So let's hope it will be a dry day this coming Monday.
What a lovely surprise when I opened an email this week from the mother of a bride that I photographed getting married at Islington Town Hall. Always great to get good feedback and to share it. Here is what Beverly kindly had to say… 'My all time favorite is Kathryn helping Sophia with her bouquet and Florence is holding onto her dress. The light is amazing. You have caught a precious moment. Many who have seen it come out with the comment that it looks like a fashion shoot. You have this combination of very personal and the wow factor'. (Beverly Lane, mother of the bride).
With thanks to Adela, we had fun photographing together amongst the flowers and plants in her Dorset garden. She was a little star.


Would you mind posting some charts of your method, and what you are talking about with 2 or 3 bar divergence?
Here is what I call a 3 bar divergence.
Yes, that's how it's done.
I just wondered whether at least the signals shown are valid or whether they were doctored, too.
Anyway, the holy grail cannot be bought, but maybe you can pick up one or two things from the course/ebook, that's how it is usually.
Thanks a lot for sharing, makes sense now.
You seem like a good trader with a solid approach.
Would you mind posting some more of your charts?
The problem is, the YouTube video completely misrepresents the method. When I purchased, and as of this date 1/14/11, it says on their website "With the Eminisniper Targeted Trading System you may have 12 winning trades before the U.S. markets even open. You may have 20 trades available before lunch." When you combine that statement with their Youtube video showing trade after trade after trade, you are led to believe that you might actually have several trades to choose from each day. And that is simply false. I know folks will come in here now and point out that technically it's true, you "may" have a bunch of trades. And if they come here and portray that this has actually happened, they are simply being dishonest. In fact, read Beth's journal going back to when she started trading the method. She has pretty much chronicled the trades that she has taken according to their system. In fact, since most of the trades the mods have actually taken in the room have failed this week, I suspect Beth is outperforming the mods by simply not trading this method.
One day this week, one of the room moderators had exactly one trade for the whole day according to his criteria. That trade occurred at 7:33. He claims he looks for an 8 tick first target (with one contract) and his trade reached 5 ticks gross then turned and went the other way. At first, he claimed it would have been a break even trade. A little later, he admitted that he didn't even take it. So, they run the chat from 8 to 12 a.m. EST. There were no valid trades during that time period. The one valid trade that did occur set up before 8, but the moderator didn't actually take it. And for good measure, the trade failed.
I took 2 trades today on the 6E with them, both losers. All 2 trades according to the book.
I made this request via PM and it is strictly your choice, but I think you have more of an interest in showing your art than you let on.
Why don't you open your own thread. Share your art.
Well, I am glad I didn't sign up! Why don't you check out Felton Trading.
So far, those guys have had 1 losing day out of 6 that I have followed. I didn't follow this morning though.
They trade divergences all day long, right ?
There is thread on Felton at https://futures.io/vendors-commercial-products/939-has-anyone-ever-heard-felton-trading.html if your interested. But looking throught the thread real quick it looked like their method was based on divergence.
Yup, I was introduced to divergence by Roger at Felton trading room a few years ago. I am almost purely a divergence trader now, but I no longer use the indicators he uses. Although I hear he has some impressive customized or proprietary indicators now.


ON MOST DAYS, THIS COLUMN is about detailed trading strategies intended for sophisticated investors. These columns are based on on-going conversations with strategists and traders at major investment banks and hedge funds, and a steady stream of research from some of the top analysts on Wall Street.
But from time to time, it's the readers who inform my thinking the most and remind me why I do what I do.
After each column is published, readers email me to ask for more information about trading strategies, or elaborate on points. I also increasingly hear of many tough stories. Many investors are worried about paying their bills, and others are struggling with how they can survive in retirement since they've lost half or more of their net worth.
Rather than talking today about specific trade ideas, this column is for readers who should be using options, but are not. This column will give insights about ways to use options to reduce risk of owning stocks.
Managing stock positions with puts and calls has never made more sense, especially in the midst of a severe global recession, and particularly one day after an almost 700- point decline on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The era of buy and hold investing is dead. Long live equity options.
Anyone who owns blue-chip stocks -- like General Electric (GE), General Motors (GM), Wachovia (WB), Morgan Stanley (MS), Home Depot (HD) -- has seen too much accumulated wealth disappear into the stock market's maw to believe in the wisdom of inaction.
Vanishing wealth is a potent reminder that investors must think multi-dimensionally about their investments. This goes beyond simply following classic stock portfolio theory that balances risk by allocating a percentage of assets in various parts of the market, such as large-capitalization value growth and international stocks.
Puts and calls, when used properly, help investors balance risk and increase returns. They should be used in conjunction with portfolio theory to reduce overall portfolio volatility, and the risk of owning stock ownership.
You should hear this message from brokerage firms, but you probably won't because options are tricky and not suitable for all investors. Corporate lawyers are more concerned about protecting their firms from legal risk inherent in recommending complex financial products than in your investment future.
But any investor who can handle the complexities of sudden and severe loss of personal wealth can handle options.
Learning how to use puts, which increase in value when a stock declines, is easier than figuring out how to live in retirement when you've lost more than 50% of your net worth.
Understanding how selling out-of-the-money calls against stock can increase returns of stalled shares is easier than wondering how to pay for your kids college tuition.
Many readers often email me because they want to learn more about options. My first recommendation is always a free website, www.optionseducation.org. This site should be the first stop for investors who want to learn about options. The website is funded by options exchanges so you can trust the information. The site has information about basic strategies, and registration lets you access webcasts and trading seminars. There's even a chatline.
After losing so much money and worrying even more about recouping lost wealth, investors might be very tempted to pay thousands of dollars to "options educators" who promise to teach you how to use options to generate millions. Don't do it. (See "Options Traders, Beware," February 22, 2008).
Be very careful of anyone eager to tell you're their trading secrets for a big fee. The Options Industry Council, a marketing-through-education group funded by the exchanges, should come up with a Good Housekeeping seal of approval to help investors identify good and bad options education programs.
This would keep investors from getting ripped off, and turned off of options.
To be sure, equity options have long scared many investors. Puts and calls are complicated, and are discussed with specialized language. But options give investors options. They let investors manage stock rather than be managed by their stock.
In the future, most investors need to become better advocates for themselves. It's one thing to trust your financial advisors, but it's better to trust and verify. Options can help.
Jon Najarian, co-founder of optionmonster.com, a trading advisory, says one of the best traits of options is that they define the risk and reward of an investment.
"Someone could try to make that argument for stocks by saying that if you buy General Motors (GM) at $5 you know how much you can lose, but most of the stocks people invest in are from $20 to $80," Najarian, who once owned the largest Chicago Board Options Exchange's market-making firm.
Rather than spending $80 to buy Exxon (XOM), an investor could spend $4 on a call option that lets them see how much risk and how much reward is inherent in the position, Najarian said.
Options also help investors manage core holdings.
Najarian's father manages a core holding in U.S. Bancorp (USB) with a "zero-cost collar." This options strategy entails selling an out-of-the-money call and buying an out-of-the-money put. If the stock declines, the put increases in value. If the stock exceeds the calls strike price, however, the stock must be sold.
"Given what the market gave him last month -- both lemons and lemonade -- Dad sold puts twice and took profits and let the stock rebound when he thought it was oversold," Najarian said.
Indeed, in America, blue-chip stocks are passed down from generation to generation like family heirlooms. GM, for example, is trading at about a 60 year low and the options market suggests the stock could trade as low as zero. The stock has lost 89% of its value during the past five years, which means millions of families are now waiting (praying) that Congress saves GM, Ford Motor Co. (F) and Chrysler, owned by a group of private investors, from failure.
Prayer has its place in this world, just not in the financial markets.

Fiber Optic Sensing Experts Address Opportunities for Telecom Sector

Panel at FiberConnect Conference and Exhibition discusses technology and case studies
WASHINGTON DC - The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) today participated in a panel discussion at the FiberConnect Conference and Exhibition in Orlando.
The panel featured FOSA members including Fotech Solutions' Kent Wardley and OZ Optics' Omur Sezerman. Together they discussed how telecommunications companies can gain new revenue, improved security and 24-7 integrity monitoring by adding fiber optic sensing to their networks.
The panel was introduced by Heather Gold, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, who provided an overview of the topic.
"Fiber optic sensing is an amazing technology," Gold said. "I think it will play a critical role in the next generation of infrastructure, including efforts to build smart cities."
Following Gold's remarks, Sezerman and Wardley noted the unique capabilities of fiber optic sensing, which uses laser interrogation of a fiber optic cable to create an array of thousands of sensors measuring changes in sound, vibration, strain or temperature.
"The start of the 21st century brought us the dawn of the Smart Phone and Smart Structures," Sezerman said. "Now, we are seeing the beginning of the age of Smart Sensing."
According to Wardley, all operators of outside infrastructure networks face similar problems, including intrusion and system damage. Discussing Fotech's LivePIPE monitoring system, Wardley said "We can tell if an intruder is anywhere near the pipeline. The system hears them, their vehicle, their digging activity, everything. We can pinpoint the exact location on the pipeline giving operators the critical information needed to optimise their security response. With threats intensifying, the need to add a smarter layer of intelligence to networks has become essential for security professionals to protect their infrastructure."
Telecom network operators can take advantage of these same protections and more, the speakers said, referring to potential new revenue from smart city initiatives.
"Around North America, Europe and Asia, there is huge interest in smart cities," Gold said. "Telecom companies are in a good position to take advantage of that interest by turning their existing communications networks into sensor networks. The resulting data could become a new source of revenue. I think a number of telecom companies are looking at this possibility."

Since the 18th century, businesses have used loyalty programs to retain their customer bases. Marketing teams have learned how to leverage the customer data that can be garnered from tracking customer behavior. Hackers also see this data as useful, and there is a market for that data on the dark web. Point brokers gain access to loyalty program accounts by paying participants to sell their points — a tactic that constitutes a violation of the terms and conditions of the program in most cases. Who's breaking the contract? Is a crime being committed? Loyalty program fraud is often associated with other types of fraud such as selling stolen goods, human trafficking and money laundering. In this session, you'll also learn to spot loyalty fraud and establish a monitoring program using data analytics.

Q: Why should I have the DAV help me with my claim instead of just file it myself?
A: DAV is the leader in VA disability claim assistance! The VA filing process can be confusing to many people. Our trained and certified Chapter Service Officers (CSOs) understand thoroughly the VA claims and appeals processes and have the experience to ask the right questions to ensure that clients get the optimal results from their disability and/or pension claims.
Q: Why use an Intent to File instead of filing a claim?
A: When a person knows that they want to file a claim but needs more time to gather evidence for the claim, an Intent to File will set the date to which the claim will be paid when a compensation award is made by the VA. Once an Intent to File has been submitted, the client has one year to submit the completed claim or the Intent to File becomes invalid.
Q: How can I get an up-to-date status on my claim?
A: Call the VA National Claims Status Line at 800.827.1000 or the DAV National Service Office Line at 888.604.0234.
Q: How can I get a copy of my last Decision Letter ?
A: Call the DAV National Service Office Line at 888.604.0234.
Q: Why is it taking so long for my C&P exams?
A: Like most face-to-face activities, C&P exams are backlogged due to the pandemic. The VA is working with providers to try to catch up. The delay is currently 3-4 months.
Q: What kind of burial benefits am I entitled to as a Veteran?
A: There are a number of burial benefits available to Veterans. First, the VA will provide a grave marker or headstone (depending on criteria set by the cemetery or mausoleum). Veterans who were discharged under honorable conditions may be interred at National or State Cemeteries. There is also reimbursement available for some of the expenses incurred in burial, including cremation, casket (to a limit), and transportation of remains to the cemetery or mausoleum. Finally, a burial flag will be provided.
Q: What death benefits is my surviving spouse entitled to?
A: There are two basic benefits available to surviving spouses--Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and Survivor's Pension.
DIC refers to a benefit when the Veteran dies from a condition for which they are receiving disability compensation or are at 100% disabled and died from any condition. The Veteran must have been rated for disability for at least 10 years and been married for at least one year (and currently married) to qualify for this benefit.
Survivor's Pension may be available to surviving spouses whose income is below a cap set by the federal government. This cap depends on your situation (Click HERE for rates).

Blog Tour & Review ~ RoomHate by Penelope Ward
Swoon-worthy Justin Banks is FINALLY HERE in
RoomHate by Penelope Ward!
From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?
Not when it's Justin…the only person I'd ever loved…who now hates me.
When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.
The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.
The same teenager who's now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.
I hadn't seen him in years, and now we're living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.
The worst part? He didn't come alone.
I'd soon realize there's a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.
The problem is…now that I can't have Justin, I've never wanted him more.
Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

RoomHate Excerpt
Copyright © 2016 by Penelope Ward
His eyes darted to the side, and he noticed me standing there. We just stared at each other. It was ironic, but the only times I could ever feel the remnants of our old connection were in fleeting moments of silent eye contact. Sometimes moments of silence spoke the loudest.
I left him alone again, making my way back down the hall and into the restaurant to tend to the customers I'd been ignoring.
Things really started to get busy. Without Jade working tonight, we were short-staffed, and I was having a hard time keeping up with the orders. Sandy's had indoor and outdoor seating. Normally, I would only be working one section, but tonight I was going back and forth between the two.
It was nice out, so I knew they would have Justin performing outside. I kept glancing over to the small stage to see if he was there. It was past eight, and he hadn't made an appearance yet.
Sometime close to eight-thirty, I was in the middle of serving a large party of ten when I first heard it: the chilling sound of a soulful voice that was not familiar in the least. He gave no introduction. No warning. He just started to sing out the first few words, followed by the strum of his guitar. The song that Justin had chosen to start with was a cover of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers.
The entire room soon quieted down, and all eyes were on the stunning blond male specimen with the spotlight shining down on him. Despite the fact that I was carrying a large round tray of dirty dishes, I couldn't move. The vibration of his thick, smoky singing voice had completely paralyzed me, penetrating my body and soul.
Aside from the lone teardrop that fell the night he lost it on me during steak dinner, I hadn't shed any more tears—until now. It was all too much. Hearing how different his voice sounded, how he'd trained it over the years, was a wake-up call as to how much I had missed. All of the hours of practice that must have gone into honing that beautiful voice, and I wasn't there for any of it. The guilt, the emotions, the reality of a decade gone…everything started to pummel me at once. Not to mention the song—about a girl leaving. It probably had nothing to do with me, but in my mind, it sure as hell felt like it did.

(I did not receive an ARC of this book)
"How the fuck did you not know that?"
I do love a Penelope Ward book and RoomHate was no different. This was a book of two halves for me, the first half was a little slow and a little irritating at times but this was the big build up to the last half. I'm sure Penelope Ward sat at her computer saying to herself, I will royally piss them off in the beginning and then melt them into a puddle of goo in the second so they don't hate me. Best friends and love/hate, two great plot devices that I love to read about and this was one of those reads that I couldn't put down.
Justin and Amelia were childhood best friends, the kind of friends that were inseparable, knew each other inside out and were always there for one another. Amelia's grandmother treated Justin as her own so these two really did grow up together. Life forces Amelia to flee, basically running away from her life and most importantly…Justin. Justin did not take Amelia's desertion very well and soon that best friend love turns to best friend hate. He cannot believe she left him.
"When you left, it felt like my world ended. Besides your grandmother, you were the only one I could count on. You were always there…until you weren't anymore."
When Amelia's grandmother passes some ten years later she finds out that her beach house has been left to her and to Justin. When Amelia goes to the house to sort things out Justin is there, but he isn't alone. The teenager she had deserted has now turned into a gorgeous man, but a gorgeous man that cannot stand the sight of her, let along talk to her. However, we all know that there is a very fine line between love and hate. More often than not, hate is a mask for true feelings and none more so than for Justin and sometimes…sorry's just don't cut it.
In the beginning, I have to admit Justin was a bit of an ass and deep down he knew it. But don't let this façade sway you from reading between the lines and seeing the man underneath. Justin is protecting his heart and self-preservation is at the top his thought process. Only one woman has the power to destroy him and she already did that ten years ago.
"The fact that you just squirmed in your seat is proof that you also have an illogical side. Maybe our illogical sides need to meet sometime."
Amelia was a bit naïve if she thought that her and Justin would just go back to the way they were but nothing can prepare her for the disdain that Justin has towards her. She is hurt, she is confused, she is conflicted, but most of all she is jealous. Seeing Justin in a relationship really gives her a reality check and unearths feelings that she never really acknowledged existed. The summers were going to be extremely tough.
Penelope Ward really delivers a story that captures your heart and soul. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do and she captured this perfectly, all those conflicting emotions, the hurt, the pain, but most of all an all-encompassing love that never died despite best intentions to keep it dead and buried.
"Don't ever forget that I respect the hell out of you…"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I am about to fuck you full of disrespect."
Justin's reticence to let Amelia back in was a turning point for him, miles and miles apart hate is easy to nurture and fester but face to face everything he thinks he feels dissipates much to his chagrin, I felt his confliction but deep down I knew that these two were meant to be together.
Penelope Ward delivers one huge plot twist that I never saw coming and this was really the turning point for both these characters. Justin finds himself when he least expects it and it was beautiful to read. I really cannot say anymore without spoiling it so I will quit while I'm ahead. So in summary while this was a tough read for a while, I had the warm and fuzzies by the end. Loved it.
"…thank you for teaching me that sometimes the thing we fear more than anything, is really what out soul craves the most."

The New Zealand Experience at Gallipoli and the Western Front by WRIGHT MATTHEW
Category: First World War
In The New Zealand Experience at Gallipoli and the Western Front, historian Matthew Wright goes to the heart of how the First World War affected the lives of ordinary New Zealanders. The book analyses what it was like for New Zealand soldiers at the two main battle fronts where they fought, and frames i t with the social effects back home. Beginning with an outline of pre-war New Zealand society, Wright portrays the extraordinary world of war into which its young men plunged as they entered the baptism of fire at Gallipoli. The end of innocence that the withdrawal from the Dardanelles implied led to a harder, more fatalistic approach in the theatre of mechanised death that was the Western Front. By war's end, hope and glory had faded, replaced by a new view of military heroism - in a country forever changed ...Show more
Freyberg: Churchill's Salamander by Laurie Barber
Category: Biographies | Reading Level: very good

Hitler by John Toland
Category: Second Hand & Rare Books | Series: Wordsworth Military Library
This text is Jones's account of his part in British Scientific Intelligence between 1939 and 1949. It was his responsibility to anticipate German applications of science to warfare, so that their new weapons could be countered before they were used. Much of his work had to do with radio navigation, as i n the Battle of the Beams, with radar, as in the Allied Bomber Offensive and in the preparations for D-Day and in the war at sea. He was also in charge of intelligence against the V-1 (flying bomb) and the V-2 (rocket) retaliation weapons and, although the Germans were some distance behind from success, against their nuclear developments. ...Show more
Two Peoples, One Land : The New Zealand Wars by Matthew Wright
Category: New Zealand Wars
The New Zealand Wars - at one time called the Land Wars and the Maori Wars - represent one of the most misunderstood (and misreported) 30 years in this country's history. This is the first highly illustrated volume to comprehensively detail the events and personalities who gave shape to the conflict, co mbined with primary source materials such as official documents, diaries, manuscripts, private papers and statistical records collected and studied over many years. What results is a fascinating exploration of cultural miscommunication and the impact of Maori and Pakeha society on each other, of politics and religion, which peel back the veneer of previous studies to reveal the truth of this bloody war - which pitted British against Maori as well as Maori against Maori - fought out both on the physical battlefield and in the arenas of national pride and personal ambition. First published August 2006. ...Show more

Tiger Moths & Butterflies by P. Norman
Category: Second World War
Tiger Moths and Butterflies: With the Airforce in War and Peace is the fascinating story of a schoolboy and his contemporaries during WWII. In 1942, Peter Norman and his friends were excited at the thought of escaping boyhood and getting into uniform to serve their country in the war. Desperate to take part in the action, they enlisted in the New Zealand Air Force, where unlike the Army, they would not need to wait until turning twenty-one before being sent overseas. In this beautifully written account, the reader is given an insight into the feelings of trepidation of a first solo flight in a Tiger Moth and the thrill of accomplishment. The book covers the period of training, both in New Zealand and in Canada, voyages in US troop ships across the Pacific, the exciting conversion to modern fighter aircraft, the companionship of a squadron and the inevitable loss of friends. Tiger Moths and Butterflies is a fully illustrated book with a wealth of photographs both private and official. It includes operating characteristics of four well-known wartime aircraft and how it felt to fly them. Peter Norman was born in Christchurch in 1924. He was educated at Christ's College. After the war he returned to New Zealand where he took up a position with Thos Borthwicks and Sons and in 1982 he retired as Managing Director of that company. Norman was awarded the Queen's Service Medal in 1976. He lives at Drummond Cottage in Greytown and is married with a son and daughter. Tiger Moths and Butterflies is his third book. ...Show more
The Last Lion: Alone: Winston Spencer Churchill by William Manchester
In this powerful biography, the middle volume of William Manchester's critically acclaimed trilogy, Winston Churchill wages his defining campaign: not against Hitler's war machine but against his own reluctant countrymen. Manchester contends that even more than his leadership in combat, Churchill's fine st hour was the uphill battle against appeasement. As Parliament received with jeers and scorn his warnings against the growing Nazi threat, Churchill stood alone--only to be vindicated by history as a beacon of hope amid the gathering storm. Praise for "The Last Lion: Alone" "Manchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character . . . that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin's judgment of Churchill as 'the largest human being of our time.'"--"The New Yorker"" " "Memorable."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "Stirring . . . As Manchester points out several times, it's as if the age, having produced a Hitler, then summoned Churchill as the only figure equal to the task of vanquishing him. The years "Alone "are the pivotal years of Churchill's career."--"The Boston Sunday Globe"" " "The best Churchill biography [for] this generation . . . Even readers who know the basic story will find much that is new."--"Newsweek" "A triumph . . . equal in stature to the first volume of the series."--"Newsday"" " "Vivid . . . history in the grand manner.""--The Washington Post" "Compelling reading."--"The Times" (London) ...Show more

Young mothers are not always aware of the importance of education at the moment when they are at home with small children. Problems in most cases get significant when children are older or they get separated from their partner's. Women who want to re-enter the labour market have reduced chances as a result of their low educational attainment. This in turn leaves them at risk of poverty and social exclusion.
Thus an innovative outreach strategy & motivational campaign for awareness raising on the issue will be developed: the campaign address young mothers directly and aims to motivate them to (re)enter education or professional training at an early stage in order to raise their chances of being able to earn their own income and reduce the risk of welfare dependency during the life cycle, thus securing a better future for them and their children.

North East Weather
Rivers across the North East burst their banks as a month's rain falls in just one day
The Tyne and Wear rivers both burst due to the torrential downpours, causing yet more misery for residents
Updated 13:49, 6 JAN 2016
Flooding in the North East
Rivers across the North East burst their banks as more than a month's rain fell in just one day.
The River Tyne at Ovingham and the River Wear, in Durham city centre, both burst their banks just weeks after Storm Desmond swelled waters across the north, while police had to close roads in North Tyneside after they were submerged by Killingworth Lake.
The Met Office was forced to upgrade its severe weather warning across the North East to an amber 'be prepared' alert as the downpours showed no signs of stopping on Tuesday night.
Trains between Carlisle and Newcastle were cancelled after the rain caused a landslide at Prudhoe, with a rail replacement bus being put in place.
And residents in Morpeth were facing an anxious wait overnight to see if the town's multi-million pound flood defence system withstands the onslaught.
The Morpeth Flood Alleviation Scheme - which came in at £5m over budget - involved building a new flood defence wall and three flood gates in High Stanners which protect homes at Abbey View and Abbey Terrace and the homes behind, including Challoners Gardens.
Watch the river Wansbeck flowing fast through Morpeth below:
On Tuesday night water levels remained high but defences were expected to protect the town.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "A slow-moving frontal zone across the warning area is continuing to bring spells of heavy rain.
"The emphasis for the heaviest rain has transferred northwards across North East England to become focused across Northumberland and Durham including Tyne and Wear, where we can expect some localised medium impacts from the additional rainfall.
"Given that the ground is already saturated please be prepared for further surface water and river flooding from the cumulative effect of the rainfall.
"The worst of the rain should begin to ease overnight."
The River Wansbeck runs high in Morpeth
The River Wansbeck is expected to burst its banks overnight, potentially flooding property at Sheepwash Gardens.
In Sunderland, Roker Pier was closed and the council urged people to take extra care on beaches and the promenade as high winds and large waves battered the seafront.
Councillor Michael Mordey, portfolio holder for city services at Sunderland Council, said: "We're continuing to work closely with the emergency services to tackle any problems caused by the adverse weather. We'd ask people to remain vigilant when they're out and about, to allow extra time for their journeys, and to take particular care on the roads due to large volumes of standing water."
This is the third time in just a month that homes in the North East have been flooded and Storms Abigail, Barney, Clodagh, Desmond, Eva and Frank all caused chaos across the region.
According to the Met Office, a total of 227mm of rain fell in Northumberland last month, more than twice the normal amount for this time of year.
The closest the region has seen to these levels of rainfall was in December 1987, when Northumberland was drenched with 199.9mm of rain.
The torrential rain has caused disruption all over the North East, in a month which began with Storm Desmond and drew to a close with Storm Frank.
