"Cats achieve easily something that humans fail to: go through life without making noise"

Spirit of Fuerteventura welcomes you to their web site. The magazine itself is a quarterly publication in 3 languages on different topics from Fuerteventura: Places of Interest, Culture & Leisure, Home & Property, Beauty & Wellness, People & History, and Nature & Science. It also includes a review on museums, maps, bus and ferry time tables, and a tide table. The magazine is distributed in any tourist information office and in all places over the island where there is a major circulation of people.
The web site also provides “ACTION-BLOG ™”, a platform to promote upcoming events/activities on the island. We hope that the information we provide to you is useful and we thank you for visiting us. We wish you a nice stay on this lovely island.
 

michelDear reader and customer, this is the last issue of this year and we are delighted to present our best wishes to you and to your family for the coming period. We chose to embellish our cover page with some nice pictures of animals that live here and wanted to give them in this way a platform to thank you for your support in making their habitat a little bit nicer and, if you didn’t get the time to do so lately, to encourage you to do so in the near future.

Spirit Stops
.
Many visitors and residents from both ends of Fuerteventura love to explore this beautiful island and sometimes have difficulty to fully enjoy the local offerings at the other end as they return to base the same day. Searching for appropriate accommodation to stay overnight is bothersome. Also finding the “hot spots” and “insider tips” in catering and pleasure can be time-consuming.

biophotonen_handWe all know that light – the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum – is crucial and indispensable to life; it is generated by the sun and supplies our earth with plenty of energy. The rest of the electromagnetic spectrum reaches our planet in the form of radio waves, heat, UV, X- and gamma-rays. All living organisms receive, collect and transform these waves in one or the other form.

But what about emission of light by living organisms? And I do not mean the glow worms, -flies or other luminescent creatures like from the deep sea. I mean the emission of minute amounts of light by common cells like the ones that you have in your body or from the vegetables in your garden.

Babsi_20.02.09_017You never plan it, but there he/she is. A kitten or a puppy without mammy or owner, skinny and tired, they ask for food and drink. Most of the times, people tend to give bread and milk, but milk provokes cramps and diarrhoea – to dogs AND cats! The best is to give dry food which you can find in any supermarket and that can be softened with water. Please do not feed animals for a couple of weeks and then leave them behind. The OKAPI team will take care. Just ask the reception for the OKAPI telephone number and make a call, but be aware that they do not have a 24hour service.
 

MANOSIs there anybody who knows how life on Earth started? Most probably no, but many pieces of the puzzle already fell into place and give us a good picture how life could have started.

Earth had been created at the time when our solar system was born, some 4.600 millions of years ago. Initially our planet was a ball of fire and molten mass but slowly she cooled down and a crust was formed. According to modern science, life started about 3.500 million years ago. It is clear that the Earth was very different at that time with no sign of life and no oxygen in the atmosphere.

In order to be able to generate the complex molecules to create life, some basic conditions had to be fulfilled like no presence of pure oxygen (due to its flammability no flames can sustain and no organism can breed below 15% oxygen content and will suffocate whereas everything will burn by auto-combustion above 25%) and no obstacles to absorb the radiations coming from space.
