OCTOBER 2009

EDITORIALDear Readers,

Welcome to our October issue of the Sunshine Magazine.

As winter is fast approaching, its time we all started thinking about keeping warm during the cold winter evenings and having our boilers serviced. Inside you will find a feature which may help you decide on what type of heating you need in your home.

Most regions of Spain have experienced some pretty bad weather recently. I have never seen hail stones like it! The size of tennis balls! The storm caused a lot of damage in and around Alicante. Take a look at our news item to see for yourself.

Christmas & New Year is almost upon us, so its time to start thinking about where to go and what to buy….. look out for our November edition for ideas.

Till next month…….

WARM UP FOR WINTER!

Winter is now upon us in Spain and all thoughts have turned

from ¨Keeping Cool¨ to ¨Keeping Warm¨!

Home heating systems - Options for heating your home

Firstly, cut your energy bills by insulating your roof! Or add a

modern boiler and heating controls that will save you money.

BOILER SYSTEMSThere is a revolutionary new boiler system that can “Warm” rooms and “Cool” rooms. Many years have gone into the design and know how of this technology.


continued on pg 10

The boilers use less power than any other heating or cooling system. It is possible to have up to 10 water filled Aluminum high output convector radiators on this system, just like in the UK. All that is required to have this fantastic system in your home is a plug socket.

CENTRAL HEATING without the massive cost and inconvenience to run by gas or oil central heating.Just imagine how much more this will enhance your room! Providing HEAT in the cold winter months and COLD air in the hot summer!

These boilers can also be installed hidden away in a cupboard as they don’t need a flue. It is possible to fit this boiler almost any wear. This boiler is so low in energy consumption it just needs a small electrical supply, no gas. No risk to life from a gas explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. Ideal to comply with the new gas laws in apartments and for the elderly.

RADIATORSThe Radiators or Iceators when they are providing ice cool rooms are the most stylish and most modern available on the market today. Made from Aluminum with no rusting and minimal maintenance.

The thermostats are finger touch up and down, simple and easy. You can even adjust each individual radiator to be piping HOT in the winter, then ICE COLD in the summer with the use of the optional Thermostatic radiator valves.

OIL CENTRAL HEATING - HOW IT WORKSOil Central Heating is normally used in a ‘wet’ heating system where an oil-fired boiler heats water, which provides central heating via radiators and hot water through the taps in your home.Heat-only and combination condensing oil-fired boiler types are both available. Most oil-fired combination boilers have an internal hot water store to supply domestic hot water rather than the instantaneous heating more common in gas boilers.


Oil fired boilers can provide central heating throughout the winter months and hot water through the year for as little as 8 Euros a week. The boiler temperature is kept constant to provide instant hot water. This form of heating also provides a comfortable warm living environment at the flick of a switch. Attractive radiators and towel rails are positioned to maximise the benefits of heating your home and with digital wall mounted programmers providing customers with various heating options that´s simple to operate.

SOLAR ENERGY

Solar Water Heating - A renewable energy source.In the current climate, it’s more important than ever that we heat our homes in the most efficient way. Using less energy is the best way to cut your bills – however, this doesn’t mean having to live in a cold, dark home.A solar water heating system can be

reasonably expected to provide 90% of a home’s hot water over a year. The technology uses the sun’s heat – so there are no further costs once you’ve had the equipment installed, and no carbon emissions either.The sun emits a large amount of energy to the Earth and if it could all be reined in, the amount of solar radiation that reaches the globe every 30 minutes would be enough to fulfil energy consumption requirements for a year worldwide. There are three types of solar panel technology:

1 - FLAT PLATE

COLLECTORS The thermal solar panels

heat the liquid that runs


through by the direct sunlight. This then passes through a coil in the water tank and this then heats the water that is stored in the tank. Hot water is finally produced. The system produces hot water by using the heat radiated by the sun.

2 - PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS Using rechargeable batteries to generate electricity, the photovoltaic modules firstly harbour the suns energy. The sunlight adapts electricity through the photovoltaic panels therefore saving energy for the customer. Without releasing any greenhouse gases, the customer can start using their own generated electricity through using photovoltaic panels with a battery, controller and inverter. The energy produced can be used to run the lighting and appliances in the home. Photovoltaic panels can be simply mounted to a suitable wall, roof or can stand alone. The standard types of photovoltaic systems can be used with batteries to store energy but they still provide direct electricity to any building. To absorb as much of the sun’s energy as possible the panel will need to be mounted in a south facing garden, but the solar photovoltaic systems can be used in most buildings.

3 - EVACUATED TUBE COLLECTORS The evacuated tube collector systems are the most expensive type of solar collections but they are by far the most efficient. The systems are commonly used for domestic customers, but some commercial customers currently use these systems. They need to be wall mounted in a position where they receive direct sunlight to gain the most efficiency.

To accumulate sunlight energy the evacuated tube solar collectors have selective absorbers that store the energy in vacuum-sealed tubes. These collectors are most efficient used in moderate temperature applications as their thermal losses are extremely low in cold climates. To allow the cylinders to capture the sun from all angles, the panels have a round surface so they can collect more solar energy. Evacuated tube collectors are made up of several parallel cylindrical and use the sun’s energy to heat the water – unlike flat plate collectors. Benefits

KEEPING WARM USING AIR CONDITIONING

Typically, residential air conditioning units for your home are smaller in size than the bigger units required to climatise a business. They can provide warmth for the winter and cool air for the summer. There are various models available but we have listed the most common types here.

SPLIT TYPE AIR-CONDITIONINGWall split units are very popular and fashionable. These elegant units are mostly designed to sit very high on the wall, just


40mm below the ceiling and remain very unobtrusive. They are ideal for residential, retail, restaurant and office use, and can be mounted at the desired level from floor to ceiling. Split Type Air Conditioning units have heat pumps which allows the unit to function with heat controls. This style of unit has an indoor and an outdoor section with Pipes and cables connecting the two parts, allowing refrigerant flow and compressor Control. An internal or room temperature sensor detects changes in room temperature and switches the cooling or heating aspect on and off. The room air and external air are used as the delivery medium. This style can be high wall mounted, low wall mounted, above ceiling ducted, floor standing and r e c e s s e d type.

WOOD BURNING FIRESMulti fuel and wood burning stoves are a deservedly popular means of heating your living space, either as a primary or secondary source of heat.Wood burning fires are growing rapidly in popularity throughout the world. They provide a natural, eco-friendly option for those people that want the luxury of a real fire, but who are also concerned about the burning of fossil fuels. These types of fires come in all different shapes, sizes and designs. They can be Rustic, Modern, Contemporary, Elegant, and Stylish and make your house into a home. You cannot beat an open fire for warmth and the feel good factor. They are easily installed into any type of home. Visit your nearest showroom to

discuss the best options for you to heat your home.

The differences in traffic regulations around the world often cause problems for foreign drivers residing in Spain. They occasionally have difficulties due to a wide range of factors: language problems, unfamiliarity with the regulations in force, the correct measures to take in the case of an accident etc.

As a result, Línea Directa Aseguradora, a company which specialises in foreign residents’ insurance in Spain, provides its policyholders with all the information they require as soon as they take out their policies in our country. The first basic rule is to ensure that the car is in perfect working order and complies with the obligation of having the correct insurance which covers all the possible contingencies resulting from an accident.

Therefore, Spanish legislation requires the policyholder to have the following documentation in his or her vehicle at all times:

COMPULSORY DOCUMENTATION

• Vehicle registration document (“Permiso de circulación”), which shows the owner’s identity and the car’s chassis number. • Vehicle’s technical data sheet. (“Ficha técnica”)• MOT (ITV) stamp and sticker on the front windshield, which contains all the technical information about the car and acts as proof that the vehicle has passed the required tests. • Driving Licence.• Road tax receipt.

In addition, both Línea Directa Aseguradora and other institutions recommend taking:

RECOMMENDED DOCUMENTATION

• Photocopy of Foreign Residency Permit Number (NIE). This is a personal, unique and exclusive number, accorded by the Foreign Nationals’ Office which is granted to a person who is legally authorized to remain in Spain. • Photocopy of the Green Card (International Insurance Certificate of Civil Responsibility for Land Motor Vehicles). All foreign citizens from any country not belonging to the European Union must possess it, but it is also compulsory in other countries such as: Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Belarus, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Israel, Iran, Moldavia, Morocco, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Tunisia, Turkey and the Ukraine.• Last insurance receipt.

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31 . It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints’ Day. It is largely a secular celebration, but some Christians and pagans have expressed strong feelings about its religious overtones. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during Ireland's Great Famine of 1846.] The day is often associated with the colors orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols such as the jack-o'-lantern. Hallow-een activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunt-ed attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, pranking people, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies.

You’ve come to the right place for Halloween Pumpkin Carving! A well carved pumpkin will impress your friends, neighbours and best of all, you’re trick-or-treaters! Carving a pumpkin into a Jack-O’-Lantern freehand is the traditional way of doing it, is very easy and only takes a few basic tools. A large spoon or ice-cream scoop, a thin bladed knife and some newspaper will get you started.

With a long, thin bladed knife, cut out the top of the pumpkin around the stem of the pumpkin. The hole should be large enough to allow you to scoop out the guts (seeds and stringy membrane) by hand and with a large spoon. Generally, the size of the hole should be about two-thirds the diameter of the pumpkin. While you can cut a round circle out, you’ll find that cutting a five or six sided opening will work the best. As you cut out the top hole, angle the knife so that the lid and hole will be somewhat cone shaped. This will help prevent the lid from falling into the hole. Now you can use a large spoon to scrap the inside walls of the pumpkin clean.

Inspect the surface of the pumpkin to decide the best side to carve you face. Now, visualizing the face you want to carve, use your knife to carefully cut out the individual parts of the face or you can pre-marked the pumpkin by using a Crayon to draw the face onto the surface of the pumpkin and cut through the lines you drew. When you are finished cutting, carefully push out the pieces to view the final results.

Make sure that you have scrapped the bottom of the pumpkin flat, so that the candle will sit level in the pump-kin. We prefer the traditional use of candles to illuminate our Jack-O’-Lanterns. A Votive candle, placed in a clear glass candle holder is safer and will actually last longer. Also, plain white candles give off the most light and will illuminate the inside of your Jack-O’-Lantern the best.

HOW TO CARVE YOUR HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN


BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) (also referred to locally as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)) is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

About your breasts

Breasts are mainly made up of glandular, fibrous and fatty tissue. They sit on the front of the chest and extend down and around

into the armpit. The breast tissue is supported by ligaments and the large chest muscle that extends over most of the ribs.

The glandular tissue contains lobes, with many smaller lobules inside each one. The lobules are the milk-producing glands. During lactation breast milk is

carried through tubes called ducts to the nipple ready for breastfeeding. The darker area of skin around the nipple is called the areola. On the areola there are some little raised bumps. These are quite normal and are called Montgomery glands. They produce fluid to moisturise the nipple.

Normal breast changes

Your breasts change constantly throughout your life from puberty, through adolescence,

the childbearing years, and then the menopause (change of life). This is because of the varying levels of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone in your body.

It’s very important to see your GP (local doctor) about any changes that are new for you, even though most of these will be benign (harmless).

Breast problems

Sometimes breast changes can indicate a benign

breast condition that may need treatment. For example, breast pain linked to your periods is common and usually seen as normal. However, when it’s severe and long

lasting it can be seen as something that needs treating.

Being breast aware

Whatever your age, size or shape it’s important to take care of your breasts. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, so it’s important to look after your breasts by being breast aware.

Being breast aware is an important part of caring for your body. It means getting to know how your breasts look and feel, so you know what is


normal for you. You can then feel more confident about noticing any unusual changes.

How do I check my breasts?

There’s no right or wrong way to check your breasts. Try to

get used to looking at and feeling your breasts regularly. You can do this in the bath or shower, when you use body lotion, or when you get dressed. There’s really no need to change your everyday routine. Just decide what you are comfortable with and what suits you best.

Remember to check all parts of your breast, your armpits and up to your collarbone.

The breast awareness 5-point code

1. Know what is normal for you

2. Know what changes to look and feel for

3. Look and feel

4. Report any changes to your GP without delay

5. Attend routine breast screening if you are aged 50 or over

Currently, mammography is the most effective technology available for breast cancer screening. But, aside from the conventional mammography, there are several techniques that can be used for screening. These techniques are:

Ultrasound

Digital Mammography

Computer-Aided Detection

MRI

PET scan

Electrical Impedance Scanning

Ductal Lavage

Breast Cancer Risk

All women are at risk when it comes to breast cancer, but no one knows what exactly causes breast cancer. Doctors often cannot explain why one woman develops breast cancer and another does not. Research has shown that women with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop breast cancer.

Some examples of risk factors are:

Cancer is hereditary; if your sister, mother, or daughter developed breast cancer, then you have a higher risk of developing it yourself.

Your own personal history with cancer;

The age at which your menstrual cycle began; how earlier your cycle began, how higher the risk.

The age at which you go through menopause; women who have their menopause after the age of 55 are at higher risk of developing breast cancer.

The age at which you give birth to your first child; the risk increases with older age, but if you have first degree relatives with carcinoma of the breast, then risk goes down.

Your current age; the risk increases with age. Age is the biggest risk factor. (76% of women who develop breast cancer had no other risk factors).

Your race; Caucasian women


have a slightly higher risk than Black, Hispanic, or Asian women.

Your health; women who are overweight or obese after their menopause have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.

Drinking alcohol; studies suggest that the more alcohol a woman drinks, the greater her risk of breast cancer.

Many risk factors can be avoided, others, such as family history, cannot. Women can help protect themselves by staying away from known risk factors whenever possible, but shouldn’t let it dominate their life.

It is important to keep in mind that most women who have known risk factors do not get breast cancer, and most women with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease.

In fact, except for growing older, most women with breast cancer have no

clear risk factors. If you think you may be at risk, you should discuss this concern with your physician. He or she may be able to suggest ways to reduce your risk, and can plan a schedule for checkups.


In The News

other reports that the neighbouring towns of Blanca and Abarán were also affected. Cars were damaged by falling trees in another sudden downpour in Valencia and Las Pedroñeras. Cuenca, suffered its worst storm for 60 years on Saturday afternoon. Water levels there were up to one and a half metres high in some parts of the town centre.

Hail storm decimates crops in Murcia

Hailstones the size of golf balls fell on Caravaca de la Cruz. Farmers are assessing the damage from storms which hit parts of Murcia this weekend, when hailstones the size golf balls fell on Caravaca de la Cruz on Saturday, seriously affecting crops in La Almudema and Singla. Singla also saw the lighting put up for the local fair destroyed by the hail.

Another storm which hit Cieza on Sunday damaged crops and caused flooding in Cieza itself and on the A-30 motorway. There were


Torrential rain and hail this weekend brought more havoc to the Costa Blanca, cutting off three roads in the province, delaying four flights which were due to land at El Altet, and flooding streets in Alicante City and San Vicente de Raspeig. It is reported that 38 litres of rain per square metre fell in the space of an hour and a half in the sudden downpour on Sunday afternoon, with lengthy traffic delays on the A-70 near Elche where the falling hail froze on the road. The hail was so thick in some parts that one driver commented that it seemed as if snow had fallen on the road. The El Altet area of Elche saw damage to crops, vehicles and window blinds in the heavy hailstorm. Two young Spaniards were meanwhile forced

to spend the night on Calpe’s Peñón de Ifach on Saturday after calling emergency services for help after rain started falling as they attempted their descent of the 332 metre rock. Paralysed by fear, they preferred to spend the night on the rock with their rescuers, and made the descent with the fire officers on Sunday morning.

Woman missing in Torre Pacheco flash flood found dead

A woman missing from Torre Pacheco since Wednesday evening, after calling her sister for help as her car was being

washed away in a flash flood on the road to Cayetano, has been found dead. The body of the 25 year old was discovered by Civil Guard divers in Las Cantandas, in Torre Pacheco, on Thursday morning, still inside her car, which had been swept into an irrigation pond. A British man meanwhile escaped unhurt when his car was washed down Lorca’s Rambla Ramonete during a storm.

Look Both Ways

Four planets in relationship-oriented Libra

keep you focused on everyone but you this

month. Now is the time to find some much-

needed balance as you learn more about

successful cooperation and reevaluate your

relationship to the world.

On-the-Job Training

The emphasis is on redefining and

expanding your professional life this month.

Nevertheless, it’s all for naught if you don’t

take a break once in a while -- rejuvenation

is an essential factor in maintaining good

health and productivity.

Taking Fun Seriously

If you felt pushed to your limits last month,

you now have time to catch your breath and

integrate the recent changes. You’re now free

to entertain new ideas and learn fresh ways

to interact with others.

Security Conscious

Insecurity and impulsiveness may

threaten you this month; still, it’s

important to push past the status quo

and into new territory now.

Endings and Beginnings

If money is tight these days, October

may prove to be a transition that

lightens your worries. Where

relationships are concerned, though,

it’s important to remember that all that

glitters is not gold.

Mining for Gold

Money matters steal the spotlight this

month, with investments and business

partnerships at the forefront. It’s time

to draw on the undeveloped gifts you

have within you to upgrade your sense

of self-worth and, in turn, your income.

Before the HarvestExpect challenges this month as you work to complete old business, but remember that pruning back your tree of life now will encourage healthier growth ahead. October should find you blessed with grace and inspiration to push forward.

Waiting in the WingsThis month you might feel like you’re lurking in the shadows and observing carefully before your next move. You probably won’t receive all the recognition you deserve, but should find yourself blessed with professional boldness and creativity that will carry you into next year.

The Joy of LifeOpportunities for spontaneous creativity and play are everywhere this October. Your fiery personality gets punched up with even more sparkle than usual, letting you take the initiative to bring more love and fun into your life.

Get Down to BusinessCareer is the main focus for Capricorn this month, placing you right in your element. Your drive is already intensified and you crave immediate success, but you may face a shortage of time or resources to pull off your ambitious schemes.

Intellectual PursuitsYour level of mental activity is heightened this month, giving you plenty of opportunities to share your love of ideas. Hopes for a more rewarding future that have been circulating inside your head will be more easily translated into positive action now.

Know What You WantWhile you’re not the most materialistic person, money is on your mind this month. Beware spending sprees and panic about resources, and instead focus on fresh ideas to increase your income -- a plan that’s been simmering below the surface can be put into action now.
