Dr. Marcelo Coyi has been elected as President of the newly established Belize Medical Tourism Association and the medical community, is getting ready to welcome its first patients in a formal medical tourism system. The Global Spa Summit defines medical tourism as "people who travel to a different place to receive treatment for a disease, ailment, or condition, and who are seeking lower cost of care, higher quality of care, better access to care, or different care than they could receive at home." Medical tourism stakeholders are hoping that the new industry will eventually end the practice of Belizeans going abroad and significantly increase the number of foreigners coming to Belize for medical care.
Dr. Coyi says the association is comprised of equal members from the medical and tourism sector. He says the new industry is a great opportunity for medical practitioners and he would like to see more members of the Belize Medical and Dental Association join the Medical Tourism Association. Coyi says that foreigners have been accessing medical services in Belize for years but "it was in an ad hoc manner". Now, Belize will be marketed internationally as a destination for medical tourism. Patients will be offered packages which include medical services, hotel accommodation and even tours. Belize is an appealing destination because of its proximity to the United States, English language, great tourism reputation and cheap medical fees.
Potential stakeholders of the medical tourism industry attended the first Belize Medical Tourism Forum on Thursday, September 26th, at ITVET in Belize City. Belize Trade and Investment Development Services (BELTRAIDE) invited three consultants to make presentations. Mr. Luis Cabezas from Accreditation Canada International presented on Quality and Accreditation in international medical service. He spoke about the importance of keeping an account of services provided to give clients information on the doctor's track record. Peter Nolan has worked in the global insurance industry for decades and is now living in Belize. He presented on Insurance and Medical Tourism. Nolan says Belize is fortunate to be entering the medical tourism industry at this time because "Obamacare will cause insurance companies to offer more oversees medical services to cut costs". He says local doctors have to be more aware of medical malpractices, lawsuits and complication costs; however, there are insurance companies that provide coverage for those. Mr. Evan Sanchez presented on Tourism and Health: Importance of Emergency Response.
The private health sector stands most to benefit from medical tourism since the public health sector will not be a player in the industry. A foreign investor in medical tourism is likely to partner with a local hospital. Money will be spent to improve the hospital's facilities. That investor will then promote the benefits of receiving care at the hospital to their clients. Another investor in medical tourism may prefer to partner with a local doctor to provide care for their patients. A cardiologist in the United States would partner with a cardiologist in Belize to offer heart surgery to their patients in Belize at a cost more than ten times cheaper. Our local doctors will improve with more medical practice; they will be making more money, and the foreign partner will make a hefty profit as well. Medical tourism also makes the country more likely to keep talented Belizean doctors at home.
Medical tourism will vastly improve the healthcare service of Belize. It will create jobs and strengthen the economy of the country.

INDIGENOUS EVENTS AT THE SSWR CONFERENCE
American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Global Indigenous (AIANNH Indigenous) Cluster
For its 2018 annual conference, the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) established the American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Global Indigenous Populations Cluster facilitated by Drs. Tessa Evans-Campbell, Mike Spencer, and Karina Walters. As SSWR Vice President and conference coordinator for SSWR this year, Dr. Walters worked to incorporate themes consistent with the cluster, including an indigenous opening to honor Opening Plenary speaker, Dr. Linda Tuhiwai Smith of the University of Waikato and author of the acclaimed book, Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples. The three invited symposia for the 2018 conference also featured AIANNH indigenous themes and speakers.
Indigenous conference participants and research allies welcomed opening plenary speaker Dr. Linda Tuhiwai Smith and celebrated the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in SSWR with the new American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Global Indigenous Populations (Indigenous) Research Cluster and Special Interest Group with a Grand Entry at the Opening Plenary. All indigenous people and allies were invited to participate. The Grand Entry featured the Washington, DC, area local American Indian community Color Guard and the local drum group-Uptown Boyz Singers, followed by an invocation by a tribal elder and an Oli from Native Hawaiian relatives to welcome Dr. Tuhiwai Smith. The conference was in Piscataway Territory.
Additional presentations, poster sessions, symposia and roundtable discussions took place in the new AIANNH Indigenous Cluster during the four day conference, including a meeting of the AIANNH (Indigenous) Special Interest Group (SIG).
If you are interested in being involved in the ongoing activities of the SSWR American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian and Global Indigenous Populations (Indigenous) Research Cluster and Special Interest Group, please contact Tessa Evans-Campbell (Snohomish), Mike Spencer (Kānaka Maoli), and/or Karina Walters (Choctaw) for more information.

An article by GLMA nursing colleagues Laura Hein and Nathan Leavitt appears in the November/December 2014 issue of Nursing Made Incredibly Easy. The article is free, and you can earn Continuing Education based on the article! Another article in this same issue addresses the spiritual needs of LGBT patients, authored by Rabbi H. Rafael Goldstein.
It is worth noting that this issue focuses on diversity, but unlike most discussions of diversity that only address race, ethnicity or culture, only one of the articles in this issue addresses "different cultures." In addition to the two articles focusing on LGBT issues, other articles focus on caring for nontraditional families, patients with disabilities, patients with tattoos and body piercings, incarcerated patients, and patients of different religions.
Check out this very significant issue in the nursing literature! It is ground-breaking!

3. What Is a Pre-Funded Bond?
Bonds and levies are two different ways for a municipality to raise revenue. A bond is debt, offered to the public, which must eventually be repaid with interest. By contrast, a levy is a tax that towns and counties impose on local property owners in order to raise money for services. Municipal governments will often have different requirements for levies than for bonds.
Bonds are debt. Bonds may be issued by many sources: companies, cities, states, even the U.S. Treasury. For example, a state wants to build a new park that will cost $1 million, but doesn't have the money. In this case, the state may issue $1 million worth of bonds, which the public can buy. The bond buyers pay for the bonds immediately, giving the state ready cash. However, the state must pay a certain percentage of interest on the bonds to the bondholders, typically in yearly payments. The bonds will also have a maturity date, a specific time in the future at which the state will be obligated to buy the bonds back from the bondholders, thus repaying the original purchase price (the principal on the debt).
"Levy" refers to the act of imposing a tax in order to raise revenue. For example, counties that need to raise money will often levy an extra tax on property owners within the county. After some research, the county will define the dollar amount it needs. Then it will spread this amount over the county's property owners, assessing the levy on each in proportion to the size and value of their property. The county will then use the money raised to fund county services or specific projects. These types of specialized levies are typically approved by the voters before the levy is made.
A bond issue generally offers the advantage of raising cash immediately via sale. The revenue from a levy may only come in over time. But levied tax, unlike a bond, holds the great advantage of not needing to be repaid in the long run; repayment is understood to be the service or amenity that the county's property owners will reap from their payment. Additionally, if the bond's interest rate is not fixed, but rather tied to external interest rates or other financial factors, there may be a level of uncertainty to a bond issue that isn't found in a levy.
While bonds and levies may be used for the same projects in some localities, others apply different rules to the two devices. In some counties, for instance, the money raised from bonds may be used for specific construction projects, but not for the maintenance of already-built facilities; such maintenance would require a levy instead. In addition, some local governments may require different numbers of votes to approve bonds and levies; one may need only a majority vote, while the other requires approval of two-thirds of the voters. Some states may not require a vote at all.

Cecil the Lion 'Suffered Incredible Cruelty' for 10 Hours Before He Died, New Book Claims
Posted: Mar 7, 2018 / 07:17 AM PST / Updated: Mar 7, 2018 / 07:17 AM PST
When Cecil the lion was killed outside of a national park in Zimbabwe in 2015, it sparked worldwide ire and months of mourning and attention. Cecil, a large black-maned lion, was a protected animal and his death at the hands of an American dentist on a hunting trip was analyzed from every possible angle.
An American man is being sought in connection with a case that has drawn international attention — the killing of Cecil the lion — Zimbabwean officials said Tuesday, July 28, 2015.
(Credit: David Amyot)
Nearly three years later, a new book by a lion researcher provides more detail into the animal's final hours, and seeks to correct some misunderstandings about Cecil's death.
Lion researcher Dr. Andrew Loveridge spoke extensively to game staff, researchers and community members in the Hwange National Park area where Cecil lived. His findings, published in "Lion Hearted: The Life and Death of Cecil and the Future of Africa's Iconic Cats," suggest the lion suffered slowly after being shot by an arrow, though not as long as initial reports suggested.
"In media reports it was widely touted that Cecil suffered in agony for 40 hours. This claim is inaccurate and exaggerated. It's unlikely he'd have lived that long with such a severe thoracic injury," Loveridge writes in a passage excerpted in National Geographic.
"However, he most definitely did not die instantly and almost certainly suffered considerably. Judging from the events described by Cornelius and the data sent by the GPS collar, the injured lion most likely was killed 10 to 12 hours after being wounded."
"Cecil suffered incredible cruelty for at least 10 hours, severely wounded and slowly dying," the book said. "Clearly, although the wound was severe, the arrow had missed the vital organs or arteries that would have caused rapid blood loss and a relatively quick death. Certainly, the lion was so incapacitated that in all those hours he'd been able to move only 350 meters from the place where he was shot."
According to Loveridge, Cecil's death blow came from a second arrow fired from a compound bow. Loveridge's findings also corroborate accounts that the lion was deliberately lured outside of the confines of the national park in order to skirt regulations.
Cecil's killer Walter Palmer was publicly shunned and excoriated, but ultimately did not face any charges in the lion's death.
The book, "Lion Hearted" comes out April 10.

BOGAN v. THE STATE.
(158 Ga. App. 1)
QUILLIAN, Chief Judge.
Armed robbery. Houston Superior Court. Before Judge Hunt.
The defendant appeals his armed robbery conviction. The enumerations of error are that the evidence does not support the verdict and fails to establish the defendant was a party to the crime. Code Ann. 26-801 (Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1249, 1271).
The following relevant facts were adduced on trial. At approximately 11:00 p. m. on November 27, 1979, an attendant at a Warner Robins service station was robbed by two black males carrying revolvers, one silver and the other black. One of the robbers wore a bluish-green ski mask and the other wore a brown wig with pink curlers. They obtained approximately $45 and left on foot. The police were notified and within minutes one officer observed two persons enter an unlighted automobile stopped on a road about a block or 600 feet from the scene of the crime. The automobile left "in quite a hurry, he stepped down on it and left in an extreme hurry." The officer gave chase and with the assistance of other officers stopped the car. Four black males were occupying the vehicle, the defendant being the driver and owner thereof. Discovered in the back seat of the vehicle were a ski mask, a wig with pink curlers and two guns.
The defendant testified that, at the request of one of his brothers, he, two of his brothers and one Solomon drove to Warner Robins from Perry. The automobile began to run hot and he stopped to put water in the radiator. His brother and Solomon got out and told him they were going to the service station to purchase a six pack of beer. They returned, the defendant drove off and was subsequently stopped by the police. The defendant denied knowledge of his companions' intentions prior to, during or after the robbery up to his arrest. Held:
Insofar as it is here applicable Code Ann. 26-801 (b) provides: "A person is concerned in the commission of a crime only if he: . . . intentionally aids or abets in the commission of the crime." One who is constructively present, aids and abets in the commission of a crime was formerly referred to as a principal in the second degree. Schmid v. State, 77 Ga. App. 623, 632 (49 SE2d 134) wherein it was held in defining an accessory "If he is constructively present, keeping watch at some convenient distance and not the perpetrator, he is a principal in the second degree." See 22 CJS 254, Criminal Law, 86 (b); 21 AmJur2d 197, Criminal Law, 121.
In an early case Pirkle v. State, 11 Ga. App. 98 (74 SE 709) this court found the defendant was aiding and abetting a robbery, where he drove his buggy in front of the victim's carriage, but remained inside while two others robbed an individual and then the three drove off. This court pointed out: "Keeping watch, where several join together to commit a crime, makes the watcher a principal in the second degree, and in this case, if the jury believed that the accused did nothing more than to stand by, holding the horse and buggy so that his confederates might have a convenient opportunity of escape after the commission of the crime, they would have been authorized to find that he was aiding and abetting." Accord, Fleming v. State, 149 Ga. App. 781 (256 SE2d 56).
"It has been held that mere presence at the scene of a crime or where criminal acts are committed, even when coupled with flight, is insufficient to authorize conviction." Williams v. State, 126 Ga. App. 350, 355 (190 SE2d 785).
"To warrant a conviction on circumstantial evidence the proved facts shall not only be consistent with the hypothesis of guilt but shall exclude every other reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. Code 38-109. Graham v. State, 183 Ga. 881, 887 (189 SE 910). In making a determination of whether any other reasonable hypothesis exists, the defendant's explanation must be taken into consideration insofar as it is consistent with the circumstantial evidence properly admitted. See Redwine v. State, 207 Ga. 318, 324 (61 SE2d 481); Elam v. State, 125 Ga. App. 427, 430 (187 SE2d 920); Vaughn v. State, supra, at 56." Barnett v. State, 153 Ga. App. 430, 432 (3) (265 SE2d 348).
"Whether or not in a given case circumstances are sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save the guilt of the accused, is primarily a question for determination by the jury. This of necessity is so, for we have no legal yardstick by which we can ordinarily determine what in a given case is a reasonable hypothesis, save the opinion of twelve upright and intelligent jurors. After having heard the witnesses and having observed them testify, they are more capable of judging of the reasonableness of a hypothesis produced by the evidence, or the lack of evidence, and the defendant's statement, than is a court of law. However, this court as a court of law, where there appears a hypothesis from the evidence, or from the lack of evidence and the defendant's statement, pointing to the innocence of the accused, and which tested by all human experience is a reasonable one, may declare it so as a matter of law." Smith v. State, 56 Ga. App. 384, 387-88 (192 SE 647). Accord, Estep v. State, 154 Ga. App. 1 (267 SE2d 314); Harris v. State, 236 Ga. 242, 244 (1) (223 SE2d 643). Applying these principles to the facts of this case we find that the verdict of guilty is not unsupportable as a matter of law since the jury was authorized to determine that the evidence, although circumstantial, was sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of guilt.
Applying the rule of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560), when viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence is sufficient to convince a rational trier of fact as to the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

A tornado touched down in the Reston, Virginia, area and damaged trees, cars and homes. News4's Darcy Spencer reports. (Published Friday, April 19, 2019)
Weather officials confirmed an EF0 tornado touched down in the area of Reston, Virginia, Friday night, leaving a 4-mile path of damage in just five minutes.
A large tree fell on a Reston man's pickup truck and destroyed it.
Accoridng to a National Weather Service report, the tornado's winds topped out at 70 mph. The first signs of damage centered near Fox Mill Road and Pinecrest Road. The report says the tornado tracked near Reston Hospital Center, then by a Trader Joe's before uprooting a tree that landed on a Quitree Drive home.
That home was condemned. Another home on Fort Lee Street was struck by a falling tree, the report says.
Tornado damage in Reston appears more sporadic rather than continuous, mostly focused in and around North Point and Lake Newport. This townhouse behind the old Hechinger shopping center was gashed by a large tree. pic.twitter.com/JZJwTcQ5nX

Early Beatles Contract Sells For Over $300,000
July 11, 2019 July 11, 2019 106.3 The Fox
The Beatles' first managerial contract with Brian Epstein sold at auction at Sotheby's for $344,079.54, according to BBC.co.uk. The document, which was the first of two contracts the band ever signed with Epstein, features John Lennon's signature, along with parental signatures for the still-under age Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best. Sale of the contract, which was dates January 24th, 1962, raised money for the Ernest Hecht Charitable Foundation.
According to the terms of the contract, Brian Epstein's initial fee would be 10 percent of the group's earnings, with a bump to 15 percent should their earnings top 120 pounds a week. Epstein had initially intended for the raise to be 20 percent, but the business-minded McCartney negotiated it down to 15 percent. The band signed a second contract with Epstein on October 1st, 1962, this time featuring Ringo Starr on the document and with Epstein eventually taking a 25 percent cut of the band's earnings.
In 1963, Brian Epstein described what he saw on December 9th, 1961 when he fisrt caught the Beatles' lunchtime gig at the soon-to-be legendary Cavern Club: "The Beatles were then just four lads on that rather dimly lit stage, somewhat ill-clad and their presentation — well, it left a little to be desired, as far as I was concerned. But, amongst all that, I was immediately struck by their, their music, their beat, and their sense of humor, actually, on stage."
Brian Epstein's late-mother, Queenie Epstein, recalled her son introducing her and her husband Harry to the Beatles' music through their "My Bonnie" single in which the "Fab Four" backed singer/guitarist Tony Sheridan: "He asked his father and myself to listen to a record. And he said, 'Forget about the singer, just listen to the backing group.' Actually, we all were fairly interested in all the records, because. . . being in the business. And he said, 'They are four boys and I'd like to manage them. It wouldn't take any longer than two afternoons — or two half-days of his time. It's just a sort of a part-time occupation,' and he said it would never interfere with business."
IN OTHER BEATLES NEWS
Thanks to the new hit movie Yesterday, the Beatles' catalogue has received a significant boost. Actor Himesh Patel's cover of the title song was purchased 4,000 times in the chart period dated July 13th — with the 1965 Paul McCartney-sung version selling half of that, with 2,000 purchases.
Ultimate Classic Rock posted, "The Beatles had four more entries in addition: 'Here Comes The Sun' at Number Nine (2,000 downloads, 3.8 million streams); 'Let It Be' at Number 12 (2,000 downloads, 2.8 million streams); 'Hey Jude' at Number 16 (2,000 downloads, 2.4 million streams) and 'Come Together' at Number 17 (1,000 downloads, 2.7 million streams)."
Billboard reported: "In the June 28-July 4 tracking week, the Beatles saw a 26 percent boost in equivalent album units, earning 54,000, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 17,000 comprised traditional album sales, a 41 percent increase. Additionally, the band's catalog was streamed 51.2 million times on on-demand services, up 17 percent, and it moved 35,000 digital downloads, a vault of 40 percent." (Ultimate Classic Rock)

The recent Fox News headline reads, "Illinois Shooting Marks Fourth Police Death In Eight Days." Almost unbelievable, except for the fact this has been building for the last six years. As we have seen previously, absolutely no statements and no leadership from the White House, attorney general or staff.
This war on our dedicated police officers across America must stop, and must be reversed. Lawful citizens of this country must stand up and support our law enforcement departments. Contact your local officials and elected representatives at the county, state, and especially federal levels. Ask them to take a leadership role, declare their support for law enforcement and condemn this lawless criminal activity and the despicable organizations behind it. Americans must support our dedicated law enforcement at all levels.

There's nothing quite like wading deep out of your comfort zone on a Sunday evening, is there? Quiet mystery, early morning nerves, late afternoon excitement, all finally quelled with a sobering journey into East London for a brave –Mish-moment, a date more than seven years in the making.
Fairy lights strung from corner to corner, cutesy wooden picnic tables, hollow dots, a cloudy sunset, accidentally matching outfits, a bar hut and cosy blankets, all small yet unnecessary details for a first date full of butterflies, unspoken surprises and the pitter-patter of rainfall atop a roof in Stratford.

Snapchat is doing good business. The hugely popular photo messaging app has secured an investment of over $ 1.8 billion, confirmed by a regulatory filing on Thursday.
The app, which was developed in Los Angeles in 2011, last year had a turnover of 59 million, but that was not enough for the creators. Of the most recent Series F of $1.8 billion, more than $1.158 billion has been raised in the past five months.
The money does not come from the users of the app, but quite a few big companies who saw salvation in investing in Snapchat. It is not clear how much the app is now worth, but the investment will help. Experts estimate that the worth of Snapchat now will be around $20 billion.
According to reports, investors in this round include Sequoia Capital, General Atlantic, T. Rowe Price, Glade Brook Capital, Lone Pine, IVP, Coatue Management and Fidelity, and others.
Snapchat, which is especially popular among teens has more than 100 million daily users. It is giving a tough competition to existing social media rivals such as Twitter and Facebook. Photos and videos that are shared in the app, disappear after a short period. The company is also increasingly focusing on the IM market.

A visit from Gandhi
LSE Archivist Sue Donnelly writes about her recent discovery of Mahatma Gandhi's speech to a packed LSE lecture theatre.
On 10 November 1931 Mahatma Gandhi spoke in the Old Theatre to an audience of LSE students. He was in London to attend the Second Round Table Conference on the Indian constitution, where he was the sole representative of the Indian National Congress. LSE alumnus Dr B R Ambedkar also attended as a representative of the "depressed classes".
Gandhi was born in Gujarat. He trained as a barrister in London where he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1891. He later worked in South Africa, where his practice of civil disobedience was developed, and he returned to India in 1914. In 1921 Gandhi became leader of the Indian National Congress, which made a declaration of Indian independence from Britain in December 1929.

The Indian National Congress had boycotted the first Round Table Conference but in 1931 Gandhi was invited, and agreed, to attend the Second Round Table Conference in London in September 1931. Gandhi, distinctive in his usual dhoti and shawl was a regular feature in the newspaper reports of the Conference. During his stay he lived at Kingsley Hall in the East End, which was run as a community centre with a nursery school and social events, by sisters Muriel and Doris Lester.
It is unclear who invited Gandhi to speak at LSE or when the invitation was issued. A comment in the Clare Market Review for the following term mentioned the influence of the School's India Society. Founded in summer term of 1922, it had invited other significant figures to participate in debates including Muhammad Ali Jinnah, later the first Governor General of Pakistan. The press reported that Gandhi had met with LSE founders G Bernard and Charlotte Shaw a few days before his LSE talk, on 6 November.

Another LSE figure, Harold Laski, Professor of Political Science, was closely involved in the Round Table Conference, where he gave advice on constitutional issues regarding the control of the army and a criminal code. He was also asked to negotiate with Gandhi and the Agha Khan about the constitutional position of religion in India. Laski's ongoing interest in Indian independence was encouraged by his former student, Krishna Menon, who was based in London as secretary of the India League.

It is likely that the speech was given in the Old Theatre, then the largest available lecture theatre at the School, and a press report cited in the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi indicates that he spoke to a packed audience of mainly English students. The paper thought it was possibly Gandhi's largest English audience. Gandhi spoke about the campaign for independence and answered a question about his attitude towards British people[1]. Sadly there are no surviving photographs of the event.
Gandhi left Britain on 5 December 1931 disappointed that no substantive moves had been made towards Indian independence. It was his final visit to Britain.

Cars Banned from Mijas Pueblo
In Mijas village there is a strong debate about the latest decision of the Town Hall to restrict traffic in the town by prohibiting entry of non-resident vehicles.
Most merchants and neighbors are against the measure and have requested reinstatement.
It is always difficult to please everyone, and especially when changing customs. This is what happened in Mijas Pueblo about a month ago when government team decided to prohibit the passage of vehicles of non residents in the old town.
The philosophy of this initiative, as stated by the mayor of the town, Angel Nozal, on several occasions, is to gradually pedestrianize the center where every day hundreds of tourists pass.
However, this idiosyncrasy is not shared, at least for now, by most residents and businesses of Mijas village.
Some, like Manuel Morillo, have noticed a decline in sales of his craft business, located on Avenida Virgen de la Peña, he firmly believes that many tourists flocking to the town come in their own car and when they see they can not park, they simply turn around and leave.
"It's normal. When you get to a town and see it is prohibited to enter and the only option is paid parking you go back,"says the seller.
Isabel Burgos, who runs a gift and souvenirs shop on Avenida Compass , shares his view and stated ."Before, the cars passing through here saw exhibitors, and once parked they came back looking for me. Now I feel I have lost that form of marketing"
Jesus Sanchez, a hairdresser who has a business in Calle Carril says that he is not much affected "because my clients are walking" but he feels that "there is much less people in town."
Those most affected, as the traders themselves point out, are the owners of supermarkets and those with stalls in the municipal market.
Francisco Cortes has a meat stall and believes that The Mayor, Angel Nozal, has been wrong to implement this measure. "The measure itself is good. In fact, we have ourselves, raised the point with the Mayor. But I do not understand why we have not been informed or consulted and have been fined, in some cases as much as 300 euros".
Francisco says an employee who comes to work at the market every day from Alhaurin El Grande, was fined 300 euros for parking in the old town shortly after restriction was implemented.
Also many of his customers come from Valtocado or Osunillas and can not get to Mijas Pueblo without a car and have opted to go elsewhere.
"Many People living in Mijas are elderly whose children live elsewhere. If they have to take them to the doctor, for example, will they also also be fined? "He asks.
But some are in favor of restricting traffic;
Luis Dominguez, manager of several craft shops in Mijas Pueblo, believed it to be a breakthrough for the urban center. "Today cars still drive through the historic center, for years I've been claiming it is a hazard because of so many tourists in the narrow streets, "he says.
The signs themselves seem to be confusing as all traffic misses the first sign at Avenida de la Peña junction and proceed to Plaza de Paz where all chaos breaks out with cars trying to turn around in the small square. this has been the scene of three accidents in the last week, the worst ended in an elderly lady having her armed crushed against a wall whilst trying to direct her husband who was trying to turn around!
This initiative has not been very well thought out and the town hall might do well to listen to recommendations of Local organizations such as the Merchants' Association who have asked Nozal that the public parking be made free.

Willy Wonka Comes to Mijas Pueblo
Mijas Pueblo now boasts its very own chocolate factory but instead of Willy Wonka this one is hosted buy Jason and Eli.
They have named the factory Mayan Monkey Mijas, a reference to the fact that the monkeys of south America first discovered that the tasty cacao pods were edible.
The name of the factory is shortened to mmm , which reflects the sound of customers sampling the home made delights.

Eli and Jason have experimented with a wide rage of of flavorings to add to their chocolate.
They produce milk,white and plain chocolate which can include every type of nuts imaginable but they also incorporate some unusual ingredients like Anis, Cranberries and even chili which is remarkably pleasant.
Other experimental flavors are coconut curry and cardamon giving a remarkable range of mouthwatering delights.

Holy Week in Mijas
The beginning of april brings holy week to Mijas, known as Samana Santa in spain. This event literally transforms the village as processions of elaborately decorated floats with Jesus and Mary statues are accompanied by groups of pointy-hood wearing Nazarenos, known as penitents.
they walk slowly through the streets to the sounds of shrill brass bands, parading from one parish church another, wafting huge clouds of acrid incense that burns in gold pots that are swung around on gold chains.
It is an amazing and emotional experience, and a great time to be in Mijas if you want to imbibe some deeply-held traditions that have less to do with religion than with social groupings and rituals. You will never see anything like it again! The atmosphere grips all in its path, you'll see gaggles of teenagers in ill-fitting trousers and risque caps, family groups and black widows all gaping in silenced amazement as the spectacle passes by.
It all starts with Palm Sunday when the palms are blessed in the chapel in the cave, the Image of Jesus on a donkey is carried around the village followed by palm wielding masses, depicting his triumphant entrance to Jerusalem.
Holy Tuesday brings the Procession of the Brotherhood of Jesus of Nazareth, from the San Sebastian Church to the Parish Church.
On Holy Wednesday see the Procession of the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of the Column, accompanied by the Municipal Band of Music (from the Barrio Santana Church).
Maundy Thursday is the celebration of the Last Supper and adoration of the Holy Sacrament in the Parish Church followed by the Procession of the Brotherhood of Jesus of Nazareth, Our Lady in Pain and Saint John the Baptist
Good Friday has a double billing with the Procession of the Brotherhood of Holy Christ of the Peace, Our Lady of Loneliness and Saint John the Evangelist, where an Image of Jesus hanging from the cross is accompanied by cornets and drums.
Later in the evening is the Procession of the Brotherhood of the Holy Burial and Our Lady of Loneliness and an Image of the dead Jesus!
On the Sunday the children take over and carry a miniature Jesus on a throne periodically raising it aloft to crise of "VIVA LA RESURRECTION" !!
a Winters Day In Mijas Pueblo
There was a slight Icy bite on the breeze as it wafted over the terrace, the sun however blazed in a pure blue sky fighting to warm the day.
The sunday morning ritual of chorros and steamy coffee was played out to the sounds of a peaceful village, one of the joys of life in an Andalucian mountain home.
Then on the breeze came the distant sound of beating drums, a repetitive primaeval rhythm bashed out with passion and emotion.
The village visibly started to stir in response to the compulsive beat, small groups of villagers gathered beneath the terrace, chattering excitedly.
Gaggles of children wooped past adorned in bright clothing.
And the drums grew louder! the beat crescendoed as they turned the corner into full view.
The day warmed immediately as the brightly, but scantily dressed, dancing girls gyrated passed the terrace followed by the pounding drummers.
For half an hours we treated to sights and sounds that just celebrated the joys of life on a cold February morning; It was carnival time in Mijas pueblo!
I love this village xxx

The Asian Invasion Of Mijas
Every day of the year at least half a dozen coaches arrive in Mijas and disencumber their load of Asia tourists on to the streets. The vast majority are Japanese, but some are South Korean or Chinese. They galavant franticly around the historic parts of the village accompanied by a simple photocopied map.
Others have a tour guide and their pace is more leisurely. They Photograph everything, and I mean everything! I was having a beer with some friends in the small Bar Cueva 'The Cave Bar', when a large group bustled in chatting feverishly. They first photographed the beer pump, then the bar tender, then a few cheap pictures on the wall, then they were gone! We were left staring at each other wondering if we had momentarily slipped into an altered reality.
I have always found them to be gracious and warm when engaged in conversation. One Japanese couple a came up to me whilst having coffee to ask directions to the tourist office, we however ended up chatting for half an hour, we shared stories of our different cultures and customs, quite fascinating! The couple told me how they related to the Andalusian People as they shared the same core values of family, Traditions and food.
This is Aidian Lim and his wife, they are from South Korea, they are on their honeymoon and traveled up to Mijas on public transport, having booked independently. Aidian said "Mijas is like a time capsule, we have nothing like this in Korea" and promised to return.
I once found myself caught up with a tour, and, as I found myself swept along with the flow, I struck up with the guide. His name was Juan Antonio, he is employed buy the town hall to and is kept very busy. He speaks no Japanese or Korean so he guides in Spanish and English, he explained that on average half of the tourist he takes around speak one or other of these languages and they translate to their companions.
Juan with his tour.
You will get asked directions quite often on in Mijas and I'm not surprised! The map takes a bit of orientation before it becomes clear what is where! I know the village, and I find it hard understand the map, so what chance to our oriental friends have, but with a lot of pointing I can usually direct the people to where they want to go
The Town hall here value the Asian tourist and are in close touch with the Far Eastern tour operators to keep them updated with the Mijas brand.
Just recently the Mijas Councillor for Tourism, Santiago Martin, Held a meeting with major Asian providers ahead of the International tourist Fair 'FITUR' in Madrid. In this meeting Santiago presented Mijas as not just a charming Andalusian village with generous amounts of sun, sea and mountains, But also an Ideal setting for the lovers from the land of the setting sun to tie the nuptial Knot.
Santiago states in our local rag "We always will need more tourists, I cant overstate the importance of the Asian tourists, they are extremely curios and will add a lot of value to our Municipality."
It has even been suggested that excursions on the local donkey taxis could be included in the wedding packages.
All in all it looks likely that the Asian invasion will continue!
Morroco to Mijas underneath a Coach..... INCREDIBLE!!!!
Last Monday 16th January, A local Police control in Mijas Pueblo noticed a young boy sitting on the kerb in the Coach carpark behind the Town Hall. As the Youth was showing signs of distress they stopped to investigate.The Lad, who appeared to be about 12 Years old was shivering uncontrollably, his clothing was ragged and covered in oil and grease. They also noticed he had distinctive Arab characteristics.The officers tried to question him to no avail as he simply begged for food.
At this point a coach driver who had just dropped his group of tourists approached the local Police and began to explain that he had been touring the Tunis/ Morrocan area stopping at various destinations. He then added that he was stopped by immigration officials at the Spanish border where it was discovered that there was a group of Morrocan adults hiding underneath his coach. These men were then escorted back across the border.
The coach driver, from Jaen, enphasized to the Police that he sincerely believed the young boy was part of this group but had remained undiscovered. The lad was taken to the local police station where he was provided with hot drinks, food and clean, warm clothing.
The 12 year old was then taken to the center for homeless immigrants run by the Junta De Andalucia, as is the local policy. The Police officers involved expressed their absolute amazement at the strength and fortitued required to endure such a journey.
I am totally astonished at the length the North Africans will go to in order to escape the abject poverty of their own Countries.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
More Mijas trees
It appears that the christmas tree route was not advertized in the local english press so I am posting a few more photos of the trees for those of you who would have liked to come and see them
This tree was made up of spent shotgun cartridges, impressive eh?
this one was put up by the parisheners of the local church and was more traditional
More recycled plastic this was very pretty at night
This one was out side our house
This was one of the biggest and the most clever...plastic bottles were split from the bottom to the neck and bent back to form flower shapes amazing
hope you enjoyed, more Mijas stuff coming soon x
Mijas was "rubbish" this christmas
Gosh its almost a year since I started this blog and instantly lost my internet conection...Well I'm back with a vengance so...........
This christmas the new incumbents at the town hall decided, in these times of austerity, to save funds by not putting up the usual illuminations. This might sound a bit bah-humbug but, in conjunction with the association of residents they hatched a very clever plan, it was rubbish!
It was decided that there would be a competition where various groups of residents would create their own trees in the streets around the village.
The town hall agreed to erect a skeleton structure for the participating groups to decorate, they also agreed to provide the power for each tree to be illuminated. It was also decided that there would be an underlying theme for all the displays to follow and that was rubbish!
Well to be more precise all the trees were to be made of recycled materials!
The results were quite astonishing!
The structure to be decorated could not have been more simpler; an old metal pole was bolted to the pavement in the streets of the participants, then a circle of welded metal was bolted to the floor around the pole, next wires were stretched from the circle on the ground to the top of the pole creating the required conical shape, the decorating party could now begin. For three evenings a mini fiesta of creativity and bon homm was enacted outside our window and this was the result:
This tree is made completely out of old plastic drink bottles threaded on to a wire and attached to the skeleton! One chap was inside the frame on a step ladder fixing the wires, when he got to the top he realised that he had left no room for him to exit and we spent a hilarious half an hour giggling as we watched him trying to squeeze out the bottom helped by his companions who were almost wetting themselves!
This one was made of old sacks screwed into flower shapes.
this next one was drink cans hand painted with the colours of the teams in the spanish league
To top it all the Tourist office created a 'Ruta de los Arboles', - route of the trees and for one euro you got a map of where the seventeen trees could be found. the proceeds went into the village food bank fund to help feed unemployed famalies
Joy in hard times x

Mijas Residents
Hi peep, lets take a look at the type of person who would want to settle in Mijas Pueblo, well looking out the window we have clear blue skys and brilliant sunshine, but that is true of all the 'costas'........
The tradiitional feel of Mijas village, combined with the friendly welcome of the locals, attracts people from all over the world as pleasent place to relocate to. Whilst walking its narrow streets you will hear conversations in most of the worlds tounges. It also has a very high percentage of artists, Crafts people and Writers, almost leaning towards a bohemian feel. One thing Mijas does attract in very big characters! The type of person that warms to a traditional village life is a universe away to the crowds clammering to be beach side front line, or the large concreate urbanizations. Dont get me wrong, most of these are well built and well maintained, but in our local seaside town was developed long ago and the huge concrete structure a now looking very dowdy and a bit seedy.
In my wanderings around the village I will be gleening infomation, backgrounds and tit bits on these local characters so I must rush of to try to catch Lazaro who is holding an exibition @ the 'Casa Museo' So take care peeps, Stay safe!

Q: Search for a site with problems I saw in the past a question someone asked for a way to learn some programming language and one answer was with a link to a site with a lot of problems and solutions by other programmers.
There was a problem like: "print the Fibonacci series"... and so on...
Unfortunately I can't remember the sites name to URL...
May you know the site I am talking about?

A: Do you mean The Euler Project?

Executive desk set – Your computer desk can make or break your home office space. Before choosing right desk, you want to determine your needs, space available to you and consider whether your needs may change soon. Perhaps you own a laptop, which takes up little space on your desk, but you plan to switch to a desktop within next year. Consider these things, so new computer desk can operate for years to come.
When you have a spacious home office, and need a place for your papers, computer and large project you are working on, you'll want a desktop that can go distance. First, consider an L-shaped executive desk set. This piece gives you two separate sections. Use one to work on paperwork and projects and other to keep your computer and traditional office supplies. Adding a hutch, bookcase or an under-the-desk rolling cart for extra storage. If L-shaped desk still does not give you work surface you need, turning entire room into a work area with a U-shaped desk.
If you have limited space in your office but need more storage, utilizing vertical space. Adding a hutch to your existing desk or somewhere individual shelves above table to keep books and supplies. Faltering on shelves in an interesting pattern. Alternatively, purchase a vertical executive desk set that are designed to maximize space upwards. Table area contains a small computer and a notebook while vertically there is shelving for a printer, books and other office supplies.
