HORADADA’S NEWVIDEO INTERPRETATION SERVICE FOR DEAFTOURISTS

In Pilar de la Horadada, inclusion and accessible tourism are fundamental pillars of tourism and in an effort to improve facilities for the deaf, the Councilor for Tourism, Eva MartÌnez, has launched a video interpretation service promoted by Turisme Comunitat Valenciana in collaboration with the Federation of Deaf People of the Valencian Community (Fesord C.V).

opinion the ‘woke’ attitude that has swept through the organisation in the last half a dozen years or more, is part of, if not all, of the problem.

Without happy and contented operatives who are pleased to be working in an environment they are familiar with and understand, no organisation can survive or work efficiently. One would think, okay, I am old fashioned and probably not everyone would agree with me, but back to my thinking, a body of people who are dedicated to healing and caring when a person is ill and in need of surgery, they would not question the need to heal, a history that dates back to time itself. However, in my opinion these professionals would have no desire to change the names of body parts and would be sad and depressed at the need to.

In the following event, there was no thought of caring; it was more important for the protection of the woke ideology and a trans person. As the patient in the story said, “I don’t mind calling a person by whatever name they want to use but I draw a line at a man being a female”.

There are similar stories to this but this one is quite different. We are in a private room in the Princess Grace Hospital in London, where Teresa Steele, it is reported a retired solicitor, is with a nurse having preoperative assessments, including intimate swabs. The procedure was to take place two days after this event.

She, that is Teresa, is reported at being surprised when, after a knock, the door opens and a nurse comes into the room wearing lipstick, which she says was obvious they had just put on, also eye and other makeup, and wearing a blond wig. At first her thought was they had made a mistake on entering the wrong room and then she realised it was a man.

Teresa had made it clear before the process, she only wanted female staff to attend to her, and as a result complained about the trans nurse entering her room asking for assurances that her wishes would be carried out.

It is alleged that, in response, the CEO sent her an email cancelling the operation.

It is also reported the retired solicitor has quoted from the Equality Act that she is right in her thinking, but it did not change her plight as she was in painful discomfort and eventually was rushed to A & E where, to save her life, she was operated on. So, there we have a hospital more interested in the use and protection of the strange woke language perpetrating the medical profession, also protecting the rights of a person who says ‘he is she’ rather than the care of a very ill patient needing lifesaving surgery.

DON’T MENTION THE HEAT

We have a thermometer on a tile and glued to the wall. On September 16th, 2010, we held a garden party to celebrate ten years in Spain. On that day that little measuring device rose to its limit, fifty degrees or one twenty Fahrenheit – in this hot spell it has not made it to forty-one. Just saying - Take care.

The Councillor said, "It has the objective of guaranteeing the best coverage and inclusion of information and reception services for tourists with hearing disabilities who visit the town." Thanks to the collaboration with Fesord, this new resource has now been introduced in various tourist information offices across the Valencian Community.

The service incorporates a sign language video-interpreter figure that provides communication between tourists who need this service and the Tourist Info staff. In this way, information can be better provided about places of interest, events, accommodation, activities and any other query related to tourism in the municipality. It is an innovative approach that combines technology with personalised attention to ensure an equal and enriching experience.

MartÌnez, said that it "represents a significant step towards the elimination of barriers and the promotion of equal opportunities in the tourism sector, we want all tourists to feel welcome and cared for, which demonstrates the commitment of the Pilar de la Horadada Council to continue working towards accessibility and quality services for all visitorsî. The video interpretation service will be available at the Pilar de la Horadada Tourist Info. until December 31 of this year, from Monday to Sunday, uninterrupted from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

What To Do If The Guardia Civil Stop You On What To Do If The Guardia Civil Stop You On The Road The Road

may choose to stop you. Sometimes, at these checkpoints, a specific road sign is used, which is a red circle with a black band in the middle. The meaning of this sign is that you must not pass without stopping, unless instructed to pass by the officers.

On the other hand, you may be stopped on the roadside. The Guardia Civil will use flashing red lights if they are behind you to indicate that they want you to stop. They will use white lights if approaching from the front. You must pull your vehicle over as soon as possible, but in a safe and legal place.

Once stopped, switch off the engine, turn on the interior light if you are stopped at night, and make sure that your hands are visible. Do not panic though, just follow the procedure and the instructions of the officers.

may ask you to exit the vehicle. If they do, be alert of the traffic around you and act accordingly.

The officers are legally permitted to search your vehicle, if they choose to, looking for illegal items. Do not prevent this search, if the officers deem it necessary. Often, particularly at checkpoints, the officers are looking for specific items.

Once the officer has dealt with the reason for stopping you, which could have just been a routine document check, or could have been because of an infraction, for example, they will most likely allow you to proceed, unless they feel it appropriate to confiscate or impound the vehicle. This is not common in the case of simple stops.

When out and about in your vehicle, it is possible that you will come across a police or Guardia Civil patrol, whether routinely moving through their area, or at a checkpoint, and it is quite possible that we may get stopped for a variety of reasons, so it is important we know how to act.

We are talking specifically about the actions of the Guardia Civil, but similar will apply with other security bodies.

If you are approaching a checkpoint, you must obey the instructions of the officers. They may well wave you through, or they

The officer will most likely approach your vehicle on the passenger side, the safest side from the traffic flow, and so you should open the passenger window. The officer will explain the reason for stopping you, and will then most likely ask for your documents, which you must present. Again, follow the instructions and requests of the officer, who

The officers will assist you and guide you back into the flow of traffic, so, again, follow their instructions, as they may stop the main carriageway to allow you to join safely.

Above all, in these circumstances, do not panic, stay calm, listen to and comply with the instructions of the officers, and you will be on your way as soon as possible.
