“Being honest may not get you many friends, but it’ll always get you the right ones. ” John Lennon

Plastic surgery helpedMoran evade arrestDuring a 15-minutehearing on Monday at theNational Court in Madrid– which was closed to thepublic and press – Morandeclined to opposeattempts to extradite himback to Britain to serveout his sentence for armedrobbery.

However, the Court'sjudges are still consideringwhether to keep him inSpain for questioningabout a series of crimesthe police believe hecommitted while he was afugitive, including drugstrafficking. If he is charged

with any new crimes, hewill have to serve out anyjail term in Spain beforereturning to Britain.

The 31 year-old waswatering his plants next tothe swimming pool withhis girlfriend GennaHarvieu, 28, at the housewhere they had lived forjust a month in Calpe nearAlicante when agents fromSpain's SpecialOperations Group raidedthe premises on behalf ofthe UK’s SeriousOrganised Crime Agency(SOCA). It seems thatMoran, the last remaining

wanted criminal on aspecial police hit list, hadbeen placed undersurveillance three weeksearlier after SOCA hadreceived a tip about hisnew hideaway.

The Special OperationsGroup later released moredetails of his attempts toevade capture since fleeingBritain in February 2009.In addition to the cosmeticsurgery he had undergone,Moran was also about toundergo laser eye surgerybecause he believed hisglasses would helpidentify him. They said he

also kept two guns in awater meter by hisgarden fence and sleptwith a 5ft machete underhis bed.

Moran was nearly

captured in November butevaded capture byramming two unmarkedpolice vehicles and drivingthe wrong way down thebusy AP7 motorway.

Engineer/businessmanJuan Miguel Villar Mirtold the inaugural meetingof the SpanishEngineering Summit onMonday that "during thereign of Don Juan Carlos,Spain caught up politicallyand institutionally withthe most developedcountries, thanks in largepart to the Monarchy'sintegrating effect".

He added that despitethe current economiccrisis, "these past 37 years

have been the best in themodern history of Spain".

He underlined the"great role of internal andexternal cohesion playedby the King, which allowedour businessmen to investheavily, especially inSouth America andEurope, generating profitsfor themselves and thecounties they invested in".Crown Prince Felipechaired the opening of thesummit.

The Europeancommissioner foremployment, László Andor,suggested during aseminar in Madrid onMonday that Spain shouldconsider introducing asingle work contract as ameans of stemming highunemployment, particularlyamong young workers,and ending thesegmentation that marksthe Spanish labourmarket. A single workcontract would do awaywith the distinctionbetween temporary andpermanent workers. Andortold the seminar that incountries such as Spain,workers on permanentcontracts are excessivelyprotected in comparisonwith temporary workers,who have fewer rights.Spain has the highest

percentage of workers ontemporary contracts inEurope. As Andor madehis comments, PrimeMinister Mariano Rajoywas addressing a newsconference with hisvisiting Portuguesecounterpart, Pedro PassosCoelho. Rajoy said that hewas “very satisfied” withthe labour reformintroduced by hisgovernment in February oflast year, which makes iteasier and cheaper to sackworkers by reducing theirseverance pay entitlements.“We have no intention ofchanging things in oneway or another,” Rajoysaid. “We are currently ina process of evaluation tosee the effects it has had,but I can tell you we arevery satisfied.” TheConfederation of Spanish

Businesses has also beencalling for a single workcontract. Labour MinisterFátima Báñez hasrecognised the need tosimplify the differenttypes of contracts thatexist in Spain, but thetrade unions argue thatthis would reduce theoverall stability of thelabour market. Rajoy isdue to meet with businessleaders and labour unionleaders on Thursday todiscuss reforms.

Two Civil Guardsstationed in Navarrearrived in Madrid onSunday after cycling 829kilometres, one for eachvictim murdered by theBasque terrorist groupETA.

The two Guardiaarrived at 1 pm in thePlaza de la RepúblicaDominicana, where a carbomb killed 14 GuardiaCivil on July 14th, 1986.They were greeted byshouts of "Viva la GuardiaCivil" by the crowdwaiting for them there.

Among those waiting tomeet the two men,identified only as Luis andFrancisco, were MadridCity Mayor Ana Botella,the director general of theGuardia Civil, ArsenioFernández de Mesa, andthe president of theAssociation of Victims ofTerrorism (AVT), AngelesPedraza. The two men told

the crowd they haddecided to make their"long and hard" ride toremind people that ETAstill existed. ETA declaredan end to violence morethan a year ago but thetwo Guardia said "peoplehad short memories andneeded to be reminded ofthe killings committed byETA" over its four decadesof existence.

"So we decided to makeour own special homage tothe victims", the two mensaid. They thanked SrFernández de la Mesa forallowing them to use theGuardia Civil insigniaduring the ride, "eventhough we were not onduty". They gavecommemorative jerseys tohim, the AVT presidentand the mayor, who alsoreceived a scarf that istypically worn during theSan Fermin bullruns, sentby the mayor of Pamplona.Mayor Botella praised the

Guardia Civil for its"commitment andgenerosity" in the fightagainst ETA.

Guardia Civil directorFernández de la Mesa saidhe was proud of Luis andFrancisco and remindedthe crowd that theGuardia Civil celebratedits 169 years of service tothe Spanish people thefollowing day.

The High Court in Madridhas turned downSwitzerland’s request toextradite Hervé Falciani,the former HSBC PrivateBank employee who hasbecome a cause célèbreafter blowing the whistleon tax evaders.

The French–Italiancomputer expert made offwith files detailing130,000 of the Geneva-based bank’s clients in2008 and is wanted inSwitzerland on fourcharges relating to hisdata grab. The Madridcourt ruled that theprinciple of “doubleincrimination” is notsatisfied in this case,meaning that the offencesof which Falciani isaccused are not listed assuch in Spanish criminallaw.

The Monaco-born ITexpert was arrested inSwitzerland – where he isaccused of financial

espionage, violation of thebank secrecy law, revealingcommercial secrets andstealing clients’ privatedata – but left the countryand was finally arrestedagain in Spain last July.

The High Court alsoconsidered that theinformation Falciani hadfacilitated to the taxauthorities in France,Spain, Germany, Italy andthe United States wasrelated to criminalactivities that are “in noway eligible for legitimateprotection”. Informationreleased by Falciani has

allowed the Spanishgovernment to recovermore than €300 million oflost taxes between 2010and 2011, with furtherrelated investigations stillin progress.

Falciani, who had beenreleased on bail by theSpanish courts before hisApril 15th extraditionhearing, is now free totravel outside Spain. If theMadrid court had ruled infavour of the Swissrequest, the Spanishgovernment would havehad the last word on theextradition process.

The SUP police union made an official complaint on Friday afterofficers claimed that they are suffering ill effects due to 600confiscated marijuana plants that are currently being stored atpolice deadquarters. The plants have been in a basementgarage at the police station since May 3rd, the day that theywere seized during a raid on a property in Calpe, Valencia.

in the complaint, the SUP said both officers and detainees"were suffering the consequences of these narcoticsubstances," which were causing "headaches, nausea andalterations of their mental equilibrium". Spain's slow courtsoften means that drugs are stored for long periods of time inpolice premises, something that has led to a number of high-profile robberies of seized narcotics in recent years.

The secretary of state for the environment, Federico ramos,has said the new Coast Law, which is significantly more lenientthan its predecessor, will benefit over half a million people whoown homes, hotels, beach bars and other businesses right onthe beachfront.

The old Coast Law, aimed at clearing the Spanish coastline ofthe cement that covers it following years of indiscriminatebuilding, affected thousands of foreigners who boughtproperties in Spain, including many Britons. The new law willlet around 1,000 hotels, 3,000 beach bars and 1,700 otherbusinesses off the hook, even though they sit right on thebeachfront.

Sr ramos said it will save 150,000 direct jobs, mainly in thetourism sector, as well as 12,800 homes built on public land,some of which were due for demolition in 2018.

The 86-year-old has beendating Costa Rican TVjournalist Gina González,35, for three years. He mether when she was hired tohelp research hisautobiography and theywill marry "within themonth", the pair said lastweek.

But Di Stéfano's fivechildren – Silvana,Alfredo, Helena, Sofia andIgnacio – have lodged apetition with a Madridjudge arguing the need for"precautionary measures"to protect their father'sestate.

"In the face of theevident deterioration ofhis physical and cognitivefaculties, awaiting amedical diagnosis on hisstate of health, hischildren have taken thedecision to ask thecompetent court to issue a

declaration of incapacity.We believe his currentstate of vulnerability,together with his obviousmedia profile, could resultin abusive conducttowards him."

However, theArgentina-born strikerwidely recognised as one ofthe world's greatestfootballers ever, said hewould continue regardless."I don't care what mychildren think. I'm in loveand I'm getting married toGina," Di Stéfano told ElMundo newspaper lastweekend. "I maybe 86 butI have a young heart."

The club he helped turninto the most successful inEuropean soccer is alsounhappy with hisrelationship. De Gonzálezhad been banned from theVIP box at the Bernabéustadium until Di Stéfano

said he would not attenduntil the veto was lifted.

Di Stéfano, made hisname at Real Madridscoring 216 goals in 282appearances between 1953and 1964 and is nowhonorary president of theclub. He suffered a heartattack in 2005 shortlyafter the death of his wifeSara to whom he wasmarried for 55 years.

He is now confined to awheelchair after undergoingseveral heart operationbut regularly attends Real

Madrid matches whenthey play at home.

The children of the Real Madrid football legend have asked a court to rule thattheir father is "mentally incapable" in an attempt to prevent his marriage to awoman 50 years his junior.

a new report by the un Food and agriculture Organisation (FaO)says that eating insects could help boost nutrition and reducepollution. Over 2 billion people worldwide already supplementtheir diet with insects but the report says that "consumer disgust"remains a large barrier in many Western countries. However, itpoints out that insects are nutritious, with high protein, fat andmineral content. Other points in their favour are that "they areeverywhere and reproduce quickly, and they have high growthand feed conversion rates and a low environmental footprint".The report suggests that the food industry could help in "raisingthe status of insects" by including them in new recipes and addingthem to restaurant menus. It goes on to note that in some places,certain insects are considered delicacies.

Prosecutors have demanded a six-year sentence and lifetime banfrom public office at the latest trial of former Prime Minister SilvioBerlusconi. They allege he paid more than €4.5 million to 17-year-old Moroccan girl Karima El-Mahroug, known as "Ruby theHeartstealer" for sex at his residence in 2010 and abused his termin office. Mr Berlusconi is already embroiled in several court cases.In the latest case, the prosecution said women invited to hisprivate residence for so-called "bunga-bunga" party eveningswere part of a prostitution ring set up for his personal sexualsatisfaction. Last week Italian prosecutors requested a newcorruption trial against Mr Berlusconi, who they allege bribed aleft-wing senator to defect to his right-wing People of Freedomparty (PDL) in 2006.

Police superintendentRonal Serpas said onMonday that Akein Scott,19, has been identified bya number of people as thegunman who shot 19people at a New OrleansMother's Day parade onSunday. Three victims ofthe attack remained in acritical condition onMonday, although theywere expected to survive.

Supt Serpas said it wastoo early to say if AkeinScott was the only suspectbecause three people hadbeen seen fleeing the

area. He told a newsconference outside policeheadquarters that thepolice had received anumber of tip-offs afterannouncing a $10,000reward and releasingblurry surveillance cameraimages.

It is unclear whatprompted the shooting inthe city's 7th Ward at abusy second-line parade –an impromptu communityprocession in whichpeople dance down thestreet behind an officialparade.

Around 220,000overseas residents receivethe payment at a cost of

£410 million a year. Themeasure is included in theQueen’s Speech this weekand will prevent newclaims from 2016. Existingpensioners will not beaffected.

Sale of Royal Mailwill go aheadThe efficiency of the RoyalMail in Britain is oftentaken for granted and theinstitution has served as amodel for many postalservices throughout theworld.

But the Governmenthas now decided toprivatise the institutionand the move has come

Ministers are pressingahead with the sell-offdespite opposition frompostal workers who say asale this year will not

Ocado is closely linkedwith Waitrose, deliveringthe supermarket’sproducts ordered on lineby customers, and Ocadohas now confirmed it is

But while Waitrose islooking at its contract andfears there may be aconflict of interest, Ocadohas said any deal withMorrsisons would be acompletely separatearrangement.

IS MY TRUSTAFFECTED?In short, it depends howyour trust was set up:Trusts avoid the need forprobate, ensuring thatassets pass to beneficiarieswithout delay. Trusts can beused for different purposesbut here I will focus on twofamily succession planning

trusts. A typical trust usedby expats givingdiscretionary powers totrustees is a discretionarytrust. This means that thetrustees can manage whenit is appropriate and decidefor what purpose money isdistributed to thebeneficiaries.Discretionary trusts can

be set up that continue tobenefit their creator (settlor)– A Succession Trust – thisis often used to pass on theproceeds of a Life AssuranceBond to a class of potentialbeneficiaries created by thesettlor when creating thetrust . During their lifetime,the settlor can still benefitfrom the trust funds,making this an idealarrangement for expats withinvestment plans. However,as the settlor (creator) canstill benefit during theirlifetime, this trust IS NOTappropriate and doesnothing for inheritance taxmitigation.Alternatively,

discretionary trusts can becreated specificallyexcluding the creator(settlor) from benefiting – AFlexible Gift Trust. Thistrust is used to pass onwealth to future generationswith various classes ofpotential beneficiaries. By

excluding the settlor thistrust IS suitable forinheritance tax mitigation.Trusts are not

universally recognised inevery jurisdiction, so it isimportant that you takeadvice before implementingany arrangement. If you’rean expat and you’reconcerned about the factthat your estate may beliable for IHT duties afteryou’re gone, you have a realobligation to your heirs tolook into how best tostructure your affairs tolegitimately reduce theirinheritance tax burden inthe future. Speak to SpeedFinancial Solutions today –and remember thatlegislation changes all thetime, so have regularreviews of how your affairsare structured to ensurethey remain compliant andbest suited to the task inhand – i.e., offsetting IHTliability.

Offshore Trust Assets report - part 2

As the debate over Britishmembership of theEuropean Union rumbleson in the British newsmedia, two cabinetministers have declaredthey would vote to leavethe European Union asthings stand at themoment.But Defence Secretary

Philip Hammond andEducation SecretaryMichael Gove both saythey will back PrimeMinister David Cameron’s

plans to negotiate thereturn of some powers toBritain, putting this tovoters in an in/outreferendum after the nextgeneral election. Speaking on the BBC

Television’s Andrew MarrShow, Mr Gove said itwould be “perfectlytolerable” to cut ties withEurope and Mr Hammondtold BBC Radio: “If thechoice is between aEuropean Union writtenexactly as it is today and

not being part of that, thenI have to say that I’m onthe side of the argumentthat Michael Gove has putforward.”Former chancellor Lord

Lawson, who wasoriginally in favour of theEuropean Union, hascalled for a British exitand suggested the Toriescould lose the nextelection, in which case,even if membership wererenegotiated, there mightnot be a referendum.

Cabinet ministerssay they would voteto leave Europe

Huhne and Pryceleave jail after onlynine weeks served

If you are heading back toBritain, then theGovernment’s legislativeprogramme for the yearahead, set out in theQueen’s Speech at theState Opening ofParliament, will almostcertainly be of interest toyou.

New measures wereannounced to help smallbusinesses and people whowork and want to get on inlife.

A Social Care Bill willend the situation wherepeople who have workedhard all their lives have tosell their homes to fundtheir care when theybecome elderly.

An Immigration Billwill further reform theimmigration system bytightening immigrationlaw, strengtheningenforcement powers andclamping down on thosefrom overseas who abuseUK public services.

A Pensions Bill willcreate a simple flat ratepension that encouragessaving and helps womenwho have had long careerbreaks.

A National InsuranceContributions Bill will cutthe cost of recruiting newemployees, meaning up to1.25 million employers willbenefit, with around450,000 taken out ofpaying employercontributions altogether –one third of all employers.

A Rehabilitation Billwill radically overhaulhow offenders are dealtwith when they come outof prison.

Other measures set outin the speech are intendedto help Britain competebetter in the global race bycutting unnecessaryregulations, modernisingthe rules on intellectualproperty and encouraginginvestment in the energysector.

New plansannounced

Chris Huhne's ex-wifeVicky Pryce (pictured left)has said she is "pleased tobe home" after servingnine weeks of an eightmonth prison sentence forperverting the course ofjustice when she tookspeeding points for herhusband a decade ago.Allegations about thepoints swap only emergedin the press in 2011 afterthe then high-flyingpolitician dumped his wifefor another woman. The

case led to the exposure ofthe bitter breakdown oftheir 26-year marriageand left Huhne's politicalcareer in tatters. VickyPryce, 60, and her ex-husband Huhne, 58,pictured below, were bothreleased from jail early onMonday after servingaround a quarter of theirsentences.The former Cabinet

minister left LeyhillPrison in Gloucestershirethrough the mainentrance, making noattempt to avoid thewaiting press but alsomaking no commenteither.Pryce, 60, in contrast,

emerged from East SuttonPark open prison nearMaidstone in Kentthrough a back entrance.But on arriving at herhome in London shortlybefore 10am, she posed forpictures and said that shewould be returning to hercareer as an economist.Both will now have to

wear electronic tags – usedto enforce either a timedcurfew or a place ofresidence. For sentencesunder a year, an offenderisautomaticallyfreed afterserving halftheir sentence.Those servingbetween threemonths andfour years, withcertainexceptions for

violent and sexualoffenders, may also beeligible for release on ahome detention curfew.This allows an offender toleave prison up to 135days before theirautomatic release date.The pair are still yet to

hear how much they willhave to pay for the cost oftheir prosecution. TheCrown Prosecution Serviceis seeking more than£100,000 from Huhne, butthe former Lib Dempolitician's legal team hasoffered just £25,000.Prosecutor Andrew EdisQC told the court: "All ofthis occurred because MrHuhne decided to doeverything he could to tryand get away with what hehad done and gave in onlyat the last minute whendefeat was inevitable." ButHuhne's barrister JohnKelsey-Fry QC said it was"simply unjust andunreasonable to expectHuhne to pay what hedescribed as "every singlepossible penny thatanybody could think of".The CPS is also seeking atotal of £48,695.56 fromPryce.

Former mayor JuliánMuñoz tells what he callsthe "naked truth" in thebook he has just publishedabout his legal trials andtribulations of recentyears.

In the book "La crudaverdad" which made itsdebut on Monday –without the author who isin Alhaurin de la Torre jail– Muñoz exonerates bothhimself and his formerwife, Maite Zaldivar, whohe says was blinded byjealousy and TV fame.

He says singer IsabelPantoja, and his ex-wifeare, like himself, innocentof everything they areaccused of. Of Pantoja, helaments that she blameshim for all the bad things

that have happened to hersince she met him in 2004.He also points out that herespects justice more thanjustice has respected him.Journalist Miguel ÁngelOrdóñez who helped himwrite the book says allproceeds from its sale willgo the tax office "by way ofrepentance".

One of the chargesagainst the former mayor– in addition to moneylaundering and acceptingbackhanders – is taxevasion. He was given asentence of seven yearsand jailed immediatelybecause of his escape risk.Pantoja is appealingagainst the two year’ssentence and the hefty fineshe received for moneylaundering.

The relationshipbetween the mayor andthe singer soured while heserved his first term injail. "When I got out," herecalls, "eager to continuesharing my life with her, Irealised she had changedand that our love wasover." Despite the fact thatshe "abandoned him like adog", Muñoz writes: "Ilove, have loved and willalways love her."

a Seville judge has confirmed the decision of the andalusianHealth Service (SaS) to end the contract of a woman doctoron grounds of insufficient qualifications and of being a despotwith her patients and their families and of being rude to hercolleagues, calling them "drunks" and "alcoholics". The judgefound that the Peruvian-born doctor, identified only as a.D.e.,had not done anything to correct her short-comings or mendher highhanded ways. The judge said SaS had done the rightthing to guarantee the good service and attention to users ofthe health service.

ankur was one year old when he arrived at fuengirola's Bioparcfrom the Beauval Zoo in france, as part of a programme to breedtigers in captivity. The other part of his job was to raise people'sawareness about the difficulties that tigers have to survive in theworld – and not just the white ones, which today only survive incaptivity. But life moves on and his services are now required inMaia Zoo in Portugal, to where he will be transferred in June.The Bioparc has prepared a programme of activities to bid himfarewell, details of which will be posted on its website,www.bioparcfuengirola.es. roka and asmara, the park'sSumatran tigers, will move back into the limelight after ankur'sdeparture.

Noise invadesCordoba's patios

Since Unesco declaredCorboda's normallytranquil patios as anIntangible WorldHeritage, the usualsounds of water tricklingout of fountains andbirdsong have beenbanished from them forthe duration of the MostBeautful Patio contestheld every May.

The local authoritiesexpected crowds again thisyear but apparently it hasbeen more of an invasion,despite efforts to regulatethe visits to each patio.Visiting times have beenreduced to three hours fora maximum number of ten

visitors but huge queuesare forming long beforethe 52 patios open theirdoors.

The contest ends onMay 19th but many patioowners are alreadyworking with travelagencies to open them at

other times of the yearbecause of the economicbenefits for the city.

Business at bars, hotelsand cafeterias is boomingand, given these times ofcrisis, the incomegenerated by the patiocontest is very welcome.

The owner of some 40hectares of greenhouses inAlmeria fled last week,leaving them to 120mainly Moroccanemployees, most of whomhadn't been paid foranything up to a year.

The AndalusianWorkers Syndicate ofAlmeria said he hadpromised to pay theworkers a week or so agobut was unable to find themoney so he left them thegreenhouses in lieu ofpayment. He informedthem a few daysbeforehand by textmessages that he and hiswife were leaving thecountry because they wereunable to meet theirfinancial obligations.

As they have not beenformally dismissed inwriting – which meansthey cannot claim theirseverance pay – theworkers have decided tostay on until the end of theharvest season.

Memo fromMadridMartin DelfínWrites for the English language version of

The LocalVoice

Muriel Pilkington

Here at The News we alwaystry to warn our readers aboutupcoming dangers – like the

police clamping down on speeding,talking on your mobile while driving,not wearing safety belts or helmets,etc. These all are silly things that weall do absentmindedly at some timeor other.

But the government is up tomuch more serious tricksthese days – trying to catch

benefits abusers and in this caseaimed specifically at people on thedole. We may soon find out just howmany of those alleged five millionunemployed really are unemployed,and not drawing dole while workingand being paid black money underthe table. Figures from last year,show that from January to June, theauthorities caught 4,379 peoplecollecting dole while working "underthe counter" – an increase of nearly40 per cent over the same period in2011.

It's very tempting for both partiesconcerned – the worker gets alittle extra and the employer

saves on social security payments,which can be quite high when theemployee is young. The governmentis determined to root out tax fraudand is now implementing a strategyto do just that. Unemployed peopleare being contacted by phone athome during what would be normalworking hours and told to appear attheir dole office the next day at agiven time – again within normalworking hours. If the person doesn'tshow or tries to change the day ortime this could indicate they have ajob and can't just pop out wheneverthey fancy. Or if they are unavailableon a fixed line and can only becontacted on a mobile phone thiscould mean they could be workingabroad and collecting dole at thesame time. So the authorities willtake a closer look at him or her andfines are tough for both employerand employee. And of course bothend up with a blotted copybook.

At the same time, the workinspectors are makingsurprise visits to work places,

not giving advance warning as theyused to, to catch out how manyworkers are not on the employers'social security lists.

It's not surprising that thegovernment is getting fed upwith all our little tricks,

especially if you take into accountthat one in five working people inSpain are earning black money,according to the latest statistics. Soboth the Tax Office and the Social

Security are collecting a lot lessmoney than they should be – whichmeans pensions and the dole itselfcould become the victims of heavycuts in the not-too-distant future.

Tolerance

The Left keeps ranting andraving on about this "right-wing" government which is

trying to put the clock back toFranco's time. However, the onlinenewspaper El Confidencial Digitalreports a surprising case of toleranceon the government's part, the likes ofwhich could never have happenedwhile Franco was alive. Apparentlythe Planeta media group which ownsthe pro-government Antena 3television group bought the pro-Socialist laSexta TV company lastyear and is allowing it to carry ondenigrating and insulting MarianoRajoy, his government and thePartido Popular without anyinterference whatsoever. Thegovernment authorised theacquisition to save laSexta fromgoing bankrupt with the ensuing lossof jobs, and isn't interfering with anyof the programmes' content.

Apparently the person whomost objects to laSexta'sconstant attacks on the

government is not Mariano Rajoy butthe president of the Planeta group,Jose Manuel Lara, who feels"uncomfortable" with the content ofsome of the channel's programmes.The worst offender is a comic calledWyoming and his programme "Elintermedio". I've watched it a coupleof times in the past but couldn'tstand Wyoming's leering vulgarity.His only saving grace is that he alsotakes pot shots at the Socialists. Isuspect he belongs to my favouritepet hate – the Communist-dominated United Left.

Iknow I sound a bit paranoid, butjust cast your minds back to thetwo great Communist revolutions

of the 20th century – Stalin's Russiaand Mao's China. Between the two ofthem, they killed more people thanall the other despots of the last threeor four thousand years put together.Communist revolutions are justmore of the same – another eliteenjoying the same old privilegeswhile they kill, torture and imprisonanyone they suspect of opposingthem. And there is no reason tobelieve that the United Front will actany differently if it ever takes powerin Spain.

Justice isn’t for allWatch out

It is regrettable to see a panel ofjudges revoke the subpoenaissued for Princess Cristina to

testify in her husband’s Nóoscriminal case. It is unfortunatebecause this would have indeed beena great opportunity for members ofthe Royal Family to try to restoresome much needed public confidencein the Spanish monarchy. Butinstead they decided to fight thesubpoena with the help of somepowerful friends and allies who mayhave done them more harm thangood. The Infanta Cristina was calledin to testify about her knowledge ofan alleged diversion of public moneyscheme at Iñaki Urdangarin’s non-profit Nóos Institute. InvestigativeJudge José Castro of Palma deMallorca wanted her to give a swornstatement on April 27th but thatsummons was put on hold after anti-corruption prosecutors and theprincess’s own lawyers fought toquash the subpoena.

Prosecutor Pedro Horrach’sargument that there was notenough evidence in the case to

bring the Infanta in for questioningnever held any weight. Obviously,Judge Castro saw something in theevidence that either Horrach didn’tsee as important or tried to overlook.The magistrate had been examiningbatches of emails betweenUrdangarin and his wife that focusedon the business. The emails wereturned over to the court byUrdangarin’s former businesspartner now-co-defendant DiegoTorres. Even though Cristina wasnever involved in the day-to-dayoperations at the non-profit entityshe served as a spokesperson on thefive-member board of directors.Manos Limpias, the obscure right-wing union that has been leadingjudicial fights against graft andcorruption aimed at all of Spain’s

parties and institutions, had alsodemanded that the Infanta be calledin.

On May 7th, the BalearicIslands regional High Courtoverruled Castro and decided

to remove Princess Cristina from theofficial list of suspects in the Nóoscase. However they asked Castro formore affirmative evidence that couldpoint to the Infanta’s role in thediversion of public money. The judgenow has begun to probe a series ofpurported meetings held at Zarzuelaroyal palace to discuss contractsbetween Urdangarin and severalhigh-ranking politicians from thePartido Popular (PP), includingValencia Mayor Rita Barberá andformer regional premier FranciscoCamps. He has also asked all theparties involved in the case,including Manos Limpias and theSocialist Party – which filed people’scomplaints in the investigation – fortheir opinions over the quashing ofthe Infanta’s subpoena.

It is difficult not to believe that theking and his advisors pulled a lotof behind-the-scene strings to

ensure the royal daughter was nevercalled in. But it was a poorlymisguided decision that has onlygone to serve more mistrust on theroyals. Princess Cristina, who claimsher innocence through her lawyers,should have agreed to testify. Itwould have been a greatly calculatedmove on behalf of Zarzuela because itwould have reinforced King JuanCarlos’ public affirmation madeduring his Christmas address in2010 that “justice is served for all”.No doubt Cristina will never beprosecuted in the Nóos scandal, butthe Spanish monarchy – now at itslowest ranking ever in public opinionpolls – should have allowed theinvestigation to run its course, fornow, without pulling a suddenstopper. It would have helpedrestore some of its credibility.

But, as we can see the biggerpicture, the course of justice isslow in this country, and as

time passes and more people sufferfrom the dire effects ofunemployment, reforms andfinancial turmoil, the majority of theculprits partly responsible for thiseconomic upheaval are still out onthe streets as their lawyers and biginterests continue to pull all the legalmanoeuvres to prevent them frombeing prosecuted.

Advertising feature The weather held in Coin onSunday - what a blessing!On a dull Sunday afternoon,the expats of Coin turnedout in their finest to witnessthe blessing of local girlTracey Burn and her newhusband Kevin Taylor. Thecouple had “done the legalbit” in Gibraltar recentlybut, this was the part oftheir marriage that involvedtheir family and friends,some of whom had knownthem for decades.

Tracey is known to manyas the girl who ran bar andmusic venue JK’s until lastyear. She was the one whomade sure that you werewatered and entertained.She booked bands andsingers so all of us “up herein the sticks” could gosomewhere local to have agreat time plus have adance to burn off some ofthose calories! She gottogether with Kevin lastyear and it instantly seemedlike a match made inheaven. These two are the

perfect match and with theamount of laughing they dotogether, it is great for theirfriends to see them sohappy.

Tracey’s dress was fittedstrapless ivory silk with the

bodice and a long traintrimmed with scarlet. Herdaughter, Katia, wore a redpatterned full lengthstrapless gown. The bridewas given away by herbrother Duncan Burrellwho now resides in the UKbut returned for theoccasion.

Kevin wore a wing-collared white shirt withsleeves in red backed teddybear material and amatching tie, plus a verysmart black jacket.

The ceremony was heldin the Sierra Gorda littlepark and was conducted byCaroline McFarlane, ourfavourite local preacher whoalways adds humour to theservice while not takingaway from the seriousnessand gravity of the occasion.The ceremony was justperfect for Kevin and Traceyto pledge their love for eachother in front of their guests.And to make it perfect, the

The New Energy CertificatesThere have been a lot ofquestions being askedrecently about the “newenergy law” that means youhave to have a certificatesaying what the energyrating for your property isBEFORE you can sell orrent it. But confusionabounds, so here are someguidelines about what youwill need.

The Spanish governmenthas finally published theRoyal Decree relating to anew legislation which willmake it obligatory for allproperties being rented orsold after the 1st of June tohave “energy performancecertificates”. The new decreewhich was published on the5th of April is in line withthe EU Directive on theEnergy Performance ofBuildings – introduced in2007 as part of an overallstrategy to deal with climatechange – and makes energytransparent by “grading” theefficiency in buildings andhomes.

An Energy PerformanceCertificate or Certificado deEficiencia Energética (CEE)is a document which statesthe energy efficiency of abuilding based on thestandardised way thebuilding is used and numberof ways in which theefficiency could be improved.The property is given astandard energy and carbonemission efficiency grade

from ‘A’ to ‘G’, where ‘A’ isthe most efficient and ‘G’ isthe least.

An EPC containsinformation on your home’senergy use and carbondioxide emission as well asrecommendations andsuggestions to reduce energyuse. It measures theefficiency of the property aswhole and all energyconsuming elements thatare integrated in it.Regardless of the finalrating, improvements arenot mandatory. However,the moment you advertiseyour property, you will berequired to provide thiscertificate and failure to doso can result in a fine of€3000 to €6000. In addition,notaries are also obliged torequest the certificate whensigning over a property andtenants will be required toreceive a copy of thecertificate.

The latest data publishedby the United Nationsshows that Spain is number20 in a list of countries byCO² emissions, producingjust over 1% of emissionsworldwide. This royal decreeis essential in order to bringSpain up to European levelsin the fight to reduce CO2emissions into theatmosphere. Energyefficient homes can reduceelectric bills and will lead toa higher real estate qualityand transparency in Spain.

British Passports - endof an eraA recent press release bythe British Embassy hasannounced the end of therenewal of Britishpassports through Madrid.As of Monday this week(13/05/2013) Britishpassport renewals andapplications must beforwarded to the overseaspassport office in Belfast inNorthern Ireland. To allintents and purposes thesystem will stay the samebut there are changes tothe forms, paperwork andsome of the requirements.The plan to relocate all

passport applications andrenewals for Brits overseaswas hatched some timeago. The first step was theestablishment of sevenregional passportprocessing centresthroughout the world,which covered variousgeographical areas, Madridbeing the centre for Spain,Portugal, Andorra, NorthAfrica, Cyprus and Cuba.Slowly but surely eachcountry has graduallychanged over to the UKcentre, with Spain beingone of the last to go. The principal reason

appears to be cost, tomaintain overseas passportoffices is incrediblyexpensive. Even when theywere reduced down to justthe final seven, theeconomies of scalecompared to the number ofpassports issued in the UKwas hard to achieve. Thishigh cost was and still is

reflected by the price of anoverseas passport, whichfor the time being stays thesame at £128 plus costs –for an adult 10-yearpassport currently totalling£147.86. Previously thisprice was converted intolocal currency and adjustedas needed, now it is payablein pounds and only bycredit or debit card. It isexpected by 2014 the costwill come down to be morein line with the price of apassport in the UK. Thosetempted to by-pass thesystem and apply using anincorrect or false UKresidential address shouldnote this constitutes acriminal offence that couldseriously put you on thenaughty step for some time.The renewal time also

stays more or less the same– four weeks after the fee istaken with seasonalvariations, for a first orlost/stolen passport aroundsix weeks. There is a strongemphasis on “get it right”with plenty of warningsthat incomplete paperworkmay result in delays.Furthermore, all additionaldocumentation must be

presented or officiallytranslated into English.With this in mind a Britishpassport can be renewed atany time, with up to 9months being credited on tothe next passport so itmakes sense to renewearly, at your ownconvenience and not leaveit to the last minute.The IPS recommends

you send your applicationusing a secure deliveryservice or courier. Specificdetails on how to pay andwhere to send are availableon line athttp://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports and there is anew helpline number +44(0) 300 222 0000 at normalrates.

PAD Dog show in Mijas Village last SundayOn Saturday the sunshone and you should havebeen wearing a hat if youwere working or relaxingoutside. Sunday, sadly,was a totally differentkettle of fish and it wasdull and raining in Mijas.Despite the weather, quitea few dogs turned out forthe annual PAD dog showin the centre of the village,plus Lisa from PAD, Lynnon the tea stall (thankgoodness!), bacon buttieswere available and thethree judges were there.The proceedings werestarted a little late to givepeople the time to turn upbut it was still a drizzlingcold day – better for thedogs of course, but thehumans they brought withthem weren’t so keen.

The first of thecompetitions, that of BestFancy Dress was won byArrabella, a beautifulMastin in her flamencooutfit, accompanied by

Suzanne, her owner.

Best puppy under 1year saw a pretty littlePodenco, Angel come first,closely followed by SpanielLexie with tinyChihuahua Chico cominga close third.

In the 3rd class, BestSmall Adult Dog under 12kilos, there were twodachshunds, Freddie theblack and tan short haircoming first and Bocky,the chestnut long haircoming second.

Next up was the BestAdult Medium Dog 12 – 30kilos. In first place was thelovely Toby, a white andliver English Setter. Tobywas extremely at home onthe first place rostrum andhad no intention ofmoving. He seemed to lovethe limelight and,although he got his lovelyrosette and cup, perhapshe was just waiting for a

prize for himself… maybea bone would have beengood?! PAD dog Nieblawho is looking for a newloving home right nowcame second by a dog’swhisker. Niebla is a blackand white Breton Crossand, seeing her in the ring,she would make someonea wonderful pet. She isthought to be betweenthree and four years oldand was found dumped ina cardboard box with herpuppies. Can you giveNiebla a home?

For the 5th class,George entered withJacky, a black GermanShepherd and Suzannewith Arrabella. Jacky tookfirst prize and Arabellasecond.

The category for BestVeteran of 9 years andolder had quite a lot ofentrants who had bravedthe rain to join in. Aurelio,a 9-year-old Greyhound

who was tall andbeautifully kept, camefirst followed by MugglyMug, a tiny Chihuahua,and third was anotherPAD dog who is looking fora home – 11-year-old WestHighland White terrierRayo. Rayo is currentlyresiding at the PADshelter and has a brillianttemperament. He wouldeasily fit into a new homeand make his new ownersproud of him. Older dogsare, of course, much easierto take on in some ways asthey are normally alreadyhouse trained and, theolder the dog, the calmerthey often are. Rayo, withhis little black button of anose and bright eyes isjust waiting to lovesomeone and would love toshare your home. Why notmake an appointment tomeet him? You won’t bedisappointed!

Best 6 legs had just twoentrants this year both of

which were PAD dogspreviously mentioned.Niebla with her long legstook the cup and rosettefor first place with Rayofollowing on her heels insecond.

Next was the dog withthe Best Trick. Bruni wasthe only entrant but, whata trick! He sat, got up andturned in a circle, satagain then laid down andeach time he was given atreat, his little bum raisedin the air and he wasdoing doggie press-ups. Noprizes here for who camefirst!

The penultimate classwas for Dog Most Like It’sOwner. George enteredwith Jackie, both dog andowner in full black withGeorge having a veryfetching red bandanaround his neck to matchJacky’s red collar. Theother entrant was Ericawith Angel the Podenco

puppy. Both Erica andAngel were fair haired butGeorge and Jacky justscraped by into first place.

Last, but not least, sawall the winners of theprevious categories in thering for Best In Show.After a lot of deliberation –because, let’s face it, allthese dogs are winners –the Greyhound, Aureliowho, his owner said, wasat his first show, won Bestin Show. English SetterToby came second withPodenco Angel gaining thelast prize of the day – andanother rosette to add tohis collection. Needless tosay, Toby once again lovedsitting on his podium. Thisdog was just born to be astar!

So, all in all everyonehad a good, if a bit damp,time. Let’s hope for a bitmore sunshine next year!

Looking for homes

Pictures show, from left to right reading down, all the winners inorder of the categories. The two pictures bottom right with a redborder show Rayo at the top and Niebla at the bottom who are twoPAD dogs seeking forever loving homes... can you help?

It’s that time of year againIt’s the competition that,like Marmite, you eitherlove or absolutely hate.Personally I love it andevery year watch itthrough to the bitter end.What am I talking about?Well, I’ll give you a clue:“Nul points!” Yep, it’sEurovision Song Contestfinal time and it’s comingyour way this Saturday.

This spectacularlykitch, often with the mostawful out-of-tune singerson the planet, is a mustsee event and, this year,The Olive Tree on AvenidaMaria Zambrano in Coinis pulling out all the stopsto make this a real showstopper of an evening.

Poor old Terry Wogangave up the ghost on it afew years ago after the UKgot so many nul pointsfrom the other countrieswho ganged up on us it

was ridiculous, so now wehave the hilariousGraham Norton with hisicy and biting commentson the proceedings. In hisglitzy shiny suits you willhear him say along thelines of “What were theythinking?!” and “Well, nowthat was an interestingperformance” and “Didyou see what she waswearing?!”

I shall be in my UnionFlag gear (what a sight!)at The Olive Tree spurring

on the UK entry – Welshsinger Bonnie Tyler(pictured right) who saysshe’ll be “wearing an offthe shoulder thing withchiffon bits flying out theback”. She’s singing acountry ballad entitled“Believe in me”.

Let’s hope for a fewmore than “nul points”and a few “douze points”this year!

German FriendshipDay in Mijas The next Mijas day ofAmistad or friendship willbe on a Friday the 24thMay in the large plaza infront of the town hall inMijas village. This time itis the turn of theGermans. As with theprevious two friendshipdays, for Sweden andIreland, it starts with theunveiling of a small plaqueon the Wall of Nations at12.00 noon, with theGerman consul fromMálaga, Günther Necasdoing the honours.

MOVIES AND DVDS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN 2013

movie SPoTLiGHT By Amy Thomas

Itend to divide Hollywoodperformers into two

categories, movie stars andactors, and I place DustinHoffman in the later. Apartfrom a handful of dodgymovies in which heappeared, his Hollywoodcareer has been as close toflawless as is possible, so Iwas interested to see howhe fared in his directorialdebut. I wasn’tdisappointed.

The film is set in aretirement home for

musicians and aging operasingers who are preparing afund raising gala to save thehome, and much is beingmade of the re-release ofthe quartet from Verdi’sRIgoletto, as three of thequartet are residents at thehome. Sissy (PaulineCollins) Wilf (Billy Connolly)and Reg (Tom Courtenay)are the protagonists, andthese three seasonedactors move the film alongwith an amusing andcharming script. Difficultdecisions have to be madewhen one of the star galaperformers is taken ill and itseems the answer appearsin the form of the home’snew resident.

Unbeknownst to Reg,the new resident is

Jean (Maggie Smith), thefourth member of thequartet, Reg’s ex-wife andthe love of his life. Jean ispositively adverse torecreating the quartet forthe gala, but I feel I wouldnot be giving anything awaywhen I say that she iseventually persuaded as itwas an obvious route thefilm was taking.

Not much of a plot, Iadmit, but with such a

wonderful troupe ofexcellent English actors, thefilm was a delight to watch.Michael Gambon playedCecil, the obstreperousmusical director, AndrewSachs (Fawlty Towers’Manuel) was theconductor. Wilf was an

incorrigible sex maniac,Sissy, an endearing optimistwho was sadly losing theplot and Reg giving musicappreciation lessons togroups of young people,staunchly trying to forgethis sad past.

Maggie Smith of course,one of the jewels in

the crown of Englishactresses does notdisappoint, as the oncefamous soprano who isafraid that her voice is nolonger performance worthyand wrestling with regretsof her past actions.

The film is set in thebeautiful Hedson House

in Taplow, and ispunctuated throughoutwith classical musicincluding, of course, lots ofopera. Hoffman’s directionseems to be non intrusiveand the film flows alongeffortlessly.

It seems rare these days tofind a film that has no

uncomfortable moments orleaves you with a messagethat you did not particularlywant in the first place. Thisfilm is simply a joy towatch.

If you are a classical musiclover, this film is a must, if

only for the soundtrack. Ifyou are unfamiliar withclassical music, this is aperfect vehicle to discoverit and its ability to lift thespirits.

The end credits provefurther entertainment

as each musical resident ofthe home has theirphotograph in the creditsalongside a photograph ofthem in their firstprofessional role.

Ironically, the actors whoplayed the wonderful

quartet are the onlymembers of the companywho are not musicians, butthat would have beenexpecting just a little toomuch!

DVD NEW RELEASE Release date: May 14th

This week you are extremely attractive and appealing to others. This alone willbring you difficult temptations to overcome. There is a need to hold fast and trueto your inner beliefs, even if there is a reason or excuse to cave in. Take that innerleap of faith and believe, you want and need to be around and with all that energyyour powers of observation can serve you well by giving you insights as to whatyou may need to ensure future prosperity.

You could have reached a place that is perfect for getting over obstacles andrestoring balance back into your life. New relationships and friendships areindicated and it is a great time for any social activities. You have the reputationfor being a plodder Taurus – processed and planned is your preference. Takecharge of the direction of your life and make the kind of break that would reflecta visible new scenery and be up for the challenge.

There is a reason things are happening as they currently are, it is the things youdo and the attitude you project that can make all the difference in yourupcoming future, so this is a week to roll up the sleeves and to remove as muchclutter as you can from your life. When you are unsure about your path the rightpeople appear at the right times that can lead to changes or shifts inemployment too giving you the chance of increased wealth.

You have an ability to stand out and be the one that doesn’t lose heart or faithand this makes you different from the others. Others want to get as close aspossible to you for various reasons, some want to be there when the magichappens and others may want to try to use you for their own advantage. It isyour mission to remain true to your inner core and follow the voice that is withinyou. There could be temptations but make sure you hold the line.

The universe is advising you to stop what you are doing and to take the time toreally consider what you are doing and the long term significance of what youractions may be. Remain on the positive side of the energy for your own good anddo what is best for you. As long as you are solid inside and of one mind, heartand soul nothing can harm you or prevent your success. There is no doubt thatyou are being called to be a leader and others look to you for answers or direction.

There could be a discussion that needs finalising and it is important to get downimportant facts so there can be no misunderstandings later on. A transit likethis that requires you to completely level and honest with others even if theymay not like everything you have to say. However, they will respect yourcourage for saying what you believe. Take things one step at a time and youwill feel good knowing that you have put in the effort to see somethingthrough.

There are outrageous opportunities for personal gain, but there are also onesthat offer gain at the expense of others . All eyes are upon you this week aseverybody is looking for you to take the lead and show them what they shoulddo or say next. This is one time when you need to put your own interests first,as long as that doesn't mean selling out your inner values or the trust othersput in but your choices can create a sea change of a difference in your life.

The recent build up of emotional pressure will progressively help you reach agreater sense of direction and balance, as it comes to the surface things startto seem clearer. Pacts and agreements can be replaced now with somethingbetter and new. This can also simply mean that you and another forge a newbond and commitment regarding how you move forward. This week is aboutentering this new phase with a solid set of ground rules and a game plan.

There could be a high position of honour and status coming your way as thistransit re-kindles lost inner passions and desires in a major way and whendirected with focus the world is your oyster. When you are on a roll, the lastthing you want is someone to step in and slow you down. The here and now,those things in this moment, sound louder than those things out there on thehorizon calling your name.

Your inner peace and calmness radiating from you is what is drawing so manypeople. A lot of emphasis is being placed upon your personal relationshipsand this is the kind of pattern can cause the unexpected to happen. Makeyourself available by getting out there and living large this week. Some thingshave been harder than they needed to be and some people have been moresensitive and difficult than you hoped they would be – it is all set to change.

Your powers of observation and personal intuition are at an all time high, youare able to sense where the right places to be are, and the right things that youneed to do. It is all a matter of trusting your inner voice and following throughon your insights. If you do things right the first time, the more you do, the morecalmness and inner peace you will feel. The hardest part is just getting started.Romantic encounters are likely by the weekend.

If you ask the universe for help or for answers, it will find a way to get them toyou, even if it turns out to be an answer that you weren’t expecting. Otherpeople will be looking to you for guidance, direction and to be their ownmotivating force, as they will be thinking that if you can do it, then so can they.This week all it takes is one conversation or negotiation and this could changeyour life in one big, beautiful fell swoop.

Last week one of my students had a problem with her car. It wouldn't start.Luckily for her a neighbour stopped and gave her a jump start and the problemwas solved but it did set us thinking about what one does if a friendly neighbouris not at hand. Or the problem is something more daunting than a flat battery.If you are insured with a Spanish insurance company it is a very good idea to be able to spell your name in Spanish and also be able to say your registrationnumber. Maybe you can find a Spanish child who will teach you in exchange forteaching them the English equivalent. However, let's have a look at somephrases which may be useful if you find yourself with car problems.Of course, you can begin with :Tengo un problema - I have a problemMi coche no arranca - My car won't start.Tengo la batería agotada - I have a flat batteryHay un problema con los frenos - There's a problem with the brakesHay un problema con el embrague - There's a problem with the clutch.La caja de cambios - the gear box

If you have a flat tyre you may need to phone for a tow truckTengo un neumatico pinchado - I have a flat tyre.Necesito una grúa - I need a tow truck.Well, let's hope you don't need to use any of these phrases but, if you do have an averia at least now you are prepared.

Ya está. That's itHasta la próxima - Until next timeValerie

1. Peel the bananas and cut in half firstlengthways and then widthways, so eachbanana is in four pieces. (If you are using fairlysmall bananas, simply cut in half lengthways.)Take the ice cream out of the freezer so it cansoften for a few minutes.2. Melt the butter with the sugar andcinnamon in a large non-stick frying pan overa low heat, stirring regularly with a woodenspoon until the sugar almost completelydissolves and looks shiny and is no longergritty.3. Stir in the banana liqueur until the saucebecomes deeply golden brown and smooth.Place the bananas on top of the sauce andincrease the heat to medium-high.4. Cook the bananas for a couple of minuteson each side in the bubbling sauce, turning

carefully halfway through the cooking timeand spooning the sauce over every now andthen. They need to be softened but not toomushy. Use a wooden spoon and a spatula tohelp turn them.5. Add the rum and swirl around the pan for afew seconds. If you are feeling brave, quicklylight the rum and stand well back until theflames subside. Simmer for a few secondsmore, stirring, and remove from the heat.6. Scoop the ice cream into four bowls andspoon the bananas and sauce around it. Serveimmediately..TIP: If you can't get hold of any banana liqueur,you could substitute with a splash more rum orany other liqueur you like.

Their study, presented atthe European Congress onObesity, found one child in17 was too thin. They saidweighing too little wasmore damaging to healththan weighing too muchand warned that society

was focused almostexclusively on obesity.The researchers looked atnearly 10,000 childrenaged nine to 16 in the eastof England.

The height, weight, age

and gender of the pupilswas used to work out howmany were too thin. Theyshowed 6% of all childrenwere underweight, but itwas more common in girls(6.4%) than boys (5.5%).

There were also largedifferences between ethnicgroups. Asianbackgrounds had thehighest prevalence ofbeing underweight at8.7%. The researchers saidthe problem ofunderweight children"may be more prevalentthan we thought in the

UK". They said the fear ofbecoming obese, risingfood prices, poor diets anda lack of muscle from lowlevels of exercise may allbe playing a role. Theysaid attention had"absolutely" swung too fartowards tackling obesityand warned children whowere underweight could bebeing "missed", and calledfor better training for GPsto spot the problem andnew ways of helpingparents.

Research publishedearlier this year showedthat doctors may bemissing the problem.University College Londonacademics interviewedpaediatricians at 177hospitals in England andWales and found a lack ofknowledge about thewarning signs of childrenbeing underweight.

The Royal College ofPaediatrics and ChildHealth has developedgrowth charts for childrenbetween two and 18 whichhelps doctors tell if a childhas a problem.

A spokesman said:"Where children areseverely underweight, it'soften due to an underlyingillness for which they'llneed specialist medicalhelp."But for the majorityof cases, if we can get ourchildren eating, choosingand ultimately cookingnutritious food, then wehave a much better chanceof preventing all sorts ofdietary related problems –whether that's being overor underweight."

Hot PantsNo we’re not talking aboutthe tiny shorts favoured bywomen in the ‘seventiesand, most recently, byKylie Minogue, we’retalking about real HOTpants!

Made of a “special”fabric (patent pending) thepants were tested atBrighton University in theUK between September2011 and August 2012,then at The University ofSouthern California untilJanuary this year.

The idea is thatwearing them raises yourcore body temperature andraises your metabolic rateby up to 18% more thanstandard work-out gear,meaning that you burnmore calories off thetargeted areas of hips,thighs and bottom if worn

for at least 30 minutesduring exercise while stillnot exceeding acceptableexercise-induced elevations.

Posts from users saythat they sweat muchmore than usual and theirskin feels smootherafterwards, plus of coursethey’re all raving aboutthe weight loss theyappear to have achievedwhile using them.

Probably a great way tolose weight but stillsounds decidedly yukky tome! However, if you wantto get a pair (they also doleggings and cut-offs) youcan find them online. Theycome in small, medium,large and extra large andcost £45 fromZaggora.com

The word Nebulacomes from theLatin meaning

‘cloud’ and up to thebeginning of the 20thcentury if you had askedthe top astronomers ofthe time, they wouldhave told you that any‘fuzzy blob’ in the nightsky is a Nebula.Telescopes hadn’tdeveloped powerfullyenough to distinguishone ‘fuzzy blob’ fromanother. It was believedthat the Universe waseverything that wascontained in our galaxythe Milky Way.

It was not until aslate as 1925 that an Americanastronomer named Edwin Hubble,

using a 100inch telescope – which wasthe largest telescope in the world at thetime – announced that the Universestretches much further out than therealms of our galaxy. He discovered thatsome of the ‘fuzzy blobs’ were in factgalaxies themselves.

This discovery changed the entireview of the Universe and wasconsidered such a milestone in

astronomical research that it was decidedto christen the Hubble Space Telescope inhis honour.

Agalaxy is a collection of millionsand often billions of stars all heldin place by the effects of gravity.

Galaxies can come in various shapes andsizes but the most popular type looks a bitlike two fried eggs placed back to back.They have a central bulge packed withcountless numbers of stars, and spiralarms that thin out towards the edges.Our galaxy is believed to have this shapewith the Solar System situated aboutthree quarters of the way out from thecentre in one of the spiral arms.

Galaxies are huge, our galaxy is over100,000 light years across andcontains somewhere near 400

billion stars. At night in very dark areaswe can see the Milky Way stretchingacross the sky from horizon to horizon. Itlooks like a faint band of cloud. It is so faraway that it is impossible to distinguishindividual stars in it, they all seem tomerge together to create this ghostlylight. If the Milky Way was reduced toone metre in size then all the individualstars that you can see would be inside acircle less than four millimetres across.

We can’t really see the centralbulge of the Milky Way simplybecause there are too many stars

in the way. It’s a bit like saying you can’tsee the forest because of the trees. It isthought that there is a super massiveblack hole at the centre of our galaxy.

Our next nearest neighbouringgalaxy is called the AndromedaGalaxy; it is 2.5 million light years

away and is the most distant object that

can be seen with the naked eye. UntilEdwin Hubble revealed that it is a galaxyin its own right outside of the Milky Wayit was thought to be a nebula inside ourgalaxy and was always referred to as theAndromeda Nebula.

Anebula is a cloud of gas that isinside our galaxy, mainly hydrogenwith traces of helium and other

gases. They are either an area where newstars are being born or the remnants of astar that has exploded in a supernova. Ashydrogen atoms begin to attract eachother the gravity builds up and begins toattract more and more atoms creating thenebula. Eventually the heat and pressurethat builds up over millions of yearscauses the nuclear reaction to occurwhich creates a star.

Using the Hubble Space Telescopenumerous nebulas have beendiscovered in various stages of

their evolution. The Orion Nebula hasshown us the stages of star evolutionalmost from beginning to end. Inside theOrion Nebula astronomers discovered theHorse Head Nebula the early stages ofstar birth. Also ‘The Pillars Of Creation’(pictured), spectacular ‘fingers’ ofnebulous clouds of gas very near tobecoming stars.

Likewise, when a star reaches theend of its life it will either expandto giant proportions and then

collapse back upon itself leaving a ghostlycircular nebula such as M57 – the RingNebula in Lyra. Or larger stars expandand become red giants, some of which arebig enough to swallow our solar system.They then explode in an almighty blasttearing the star apart. The result is anebula such as M1– the Crab Nebula, thedeathly remains of a star that was seento explode and light up the night sky asrecently as 1054.

Nebulas – just big gas bags really!

Happy Stargazing!

StargazingBy Ken Campbell

A Galaxy or a Nebula?Somebody asked me last week, ‘What’s thedifference between a Nebula and a Galaxy?’

Well said, J E Swenson.What he/she has recounted isperfect history. Where, inMuslim lands, do you seeChristian churches –nowhere! The only tolerance has beenfrom the Christians and theJews, NEVER from theMuslims. Living togethershould work both ways,tolerance should not be so

one-sided!You said that you would beexpecting a few replies, I canonly imagine that they willall be in support of J ESwenson!

Editor says: This letter is inreply to a letter published inThe News (Edition 224) onthe 30th April from MrSwenson about harmony or

submission between differentreligious factions throughoutthe world and we have hadletters in reply, mainly I haveto say in support of his viewsbut also, against them.Overall, the general feelingthat tolerance of and by allbeliefs is the only way to go fora peaceful and safe future forall.

Zpvs!pvumppl!po!uif!Xpsme NOpinion & Comment 27the ewsN

Opinion Comment&I was asked last week by amember of another golf clubwhat the rules of golf were inthe following situation: “Theball has been played and hascleared the water hazard but,it then hits the far side androlls back into the water.What rule must I use?”

Rule 26-1 states that if a ballis known to be in a waterhazard or it is virtuallycertain it is in the hazard aplayer must proceed underRule 27-1.......the player mayunder penalty of 1 stroke doone of 3 things.

a) Play a ball from as near aspossible at the spot where theoriginal ball was last played.

b) Drop a ball behind thewater hazard keeping thelast point at which the ballcrossed the hazard directlybetween the the hole and thepoint at which the ball wasdropped or

c) Only if it is a lateral hazard(marked by red stakes) he

has the option to drop a balloutside the hazard within 2club lengths and not nearerthe hole.

From what this person toldme it was not a lateral hazardso option C could not be used.The point to remember onpoint b are the words LASTcrossed.

If, as they stated, the ballcleared the hazard but rolledback in, then the drop has toleave that point in line withthe hole so the player has toleave the water hazard in theline and go back behind it

Also note it is the point atwhich the ball is dropped andthe hole that the entry pointhas to be in line with andNOT just the green.

Many people just dropbetween where it crossed andwhere they last played from,which is not always in linewith the hole.

I hope that this clears this

matter.

I know many people do notfully understand this ruleand if you have any furtherquestions please do nothesitate to call me.

I want to thank you for agreat and informative readevery week by way of TheNews.I have lived here for nearlytwo decades and still find itvery difficult to find outwhat events I can attendBEFORE the event. Itseems to me that there isoodles of reporting thatgoes on telling us all aboutconcerts, fiestas, trips andall manner of open daysand parties after the eventbut, to put it bluntly, that’sa fat lot of good if you wantto go to them!Many a time I have readabout things that happenedthe week before andthought: “What a shame, Iwould really have liked tosee / do that” and then youhave to make a note in your

diary to remind yourselfthat, whatever it was youmissed was on around thattime of year and try andfind out for the next yearinstead – not easy I canassure you – and, if it wassomething for a charity,they have missed out on allmanner of possible fundraising from people whodidn’t know about theirevent.So, thanks for keeping usup-to-date of what’s on andwhen.

Editor says: Trust me, evenwith us it’s really difficult tofind out about events and,for charities and a lot ofother events, there’s nocharge for putting them in.So, if you’ve got somethingcoming up – let us know!

Good views, new bathroom & kitchen, very well furnished.

Alonso was on fire in therace. From the second thelights went out, he was‘on it’ and the Ferrariteam backed him with theright strategy to ensurethe 31-year-old tookthe chequered flag forthe 32nd time in hiscareer, in a racefeaturing astaggering 82 pitstops as Pirelli'sdegrading rubberagain played fartoo much of arole in theoutcome for allconcerned.

Making fourstops, Alonsofinished nineseconds clear ofthree-stopping KimiRaikkonen in his Lotus,with the Finn having tosettle for second for thethird consecutive race.The Iceman though,reduced SebastianVettel's lead at the top ofthe standings to fourpoints, with the Germancoming in fourth asFerrari's Felipe Massacompleted the podium.

Despite their front-rowpositions followingSaturday's qualifying,Mercedes just wentbackwards with NicoRosberg finishing sixthand Lewis Hamilton 12thand out of the points forthe first time this year.Although leading for theopening 10 laps afterclaiming back-to-backpole positions for the firsttime in his career,Rosberg was soonswallowed up after thefirst round of pit stops. Asfor Hamilton, he startedto go backwards from lapone as he was initiallyoutmanoeuvred by Vettelinto turn one, and then byAlonso a few cornerslater.

Formula One thesedays has become all abouttyre conservation, withHamilton's frustrationcoming to the fore justbefore the halfway stageof the 66 laps. At thatpoint, with Hamiltonhaving plummeted to15th, the 28-year-olddropped behind Williams'Pastor Maldonado.Turning to the radio,Hamilton said: "And nowI've been passed by aWilliams!"

When Hamilton wastold soon after to lookafter his left-rear tyre, hethen replied: "I can't driveany slower."

Ultimately though, itwas Ferrari's pace thatshowed through,

allowingAlonso tomove

within 17 points of Vettelwho was 38 seconds downat the chequered flag,with Red Bull team-mateMark Webber fifth.Rosberg held off ForceIndia's Paul Di Resta forsixth, with the Scot againthe best of the Brits forthe second successive race

as McLaren's JensonButton came home eighthahead of team-mate

SergioPerez.

Aftersavouring theroars of the crowd,Alonso said: "It's veryspecial winning at home,it doesn't matter how maytimes you do, it's alwayslike starting from zero."The last laps are verylong because you want therace to finish as soon aspossible, but I'm veryhappy for the team."

After a series of racesdominated by tyredegradation the next raceat the low-grip Monacocircuit should bring a

welcome change. Alonsohas already given somehope to the Mercedesteam, saying that theywill head to the nextgrand prix in Monaco asfavourites to win.

Mercedes have takenpole position in the lastthree races beforedropping back, but Alonsosaid the difficulty ofpassing in Monaco wouldhelp them."They will arrive as

favourites. They've beenon pole the last threeraces," he said after hiswin in Spain."It's more difficult to

overtake in Monaco... somaybe they can keep goodpositions for longer."

Pirelli were quick topoint out the spectacle ofmost drivers making fourpit stops each was notwhat they were intendedto create. They arealready planning furtherchanges to the tyres toaddress it.

Alonso on fire for home GPFernando Alonso ended a seven-year wait to claim his second home Grand Prixtriumph to send the Spanish fans wild in Barcelona.

Vijay Singh is to sue thePGA Tour for banning himfrom competition without atest for using deer antlerspray.The Fijian admitted in

January to using thesubstance, which containssmall amounts of a growthhormone banned by theWorld Anti-Doping Agency(Wada).The PGA suspended the

former world number oneafter his admission, but the50-year-old successfullyappealed.Singh's lawsuit,

submitted in New York,claims the ban left him"humiliated, ridiculed, andemotionally distraught".According to the lawsuit,

which the PGA did not

comment on, the 2000 USMasters champion wassuspended for 90 days on19th February despitethere being no test inexistence for the substance.When the golfer

appealed, Wada advisedthe PGA Tour that it nolonger considered deerantler spray a bannedsubstance "unless a positivetest results"."I am proud of my

achievement, my workethic and the way I live mylife," said Singh in astatement."The PGA Tour not only

treated me unfairly, butdisplayed a lack ofprofessionalism that shouldconcern every professionalgolfer and fan of the game."

A number of people haveasked me how do you playStud, well here are thebasic rules to get youstarted.

Before the start of theTexas Hold'em boom over10 years ago, Stud hadalways been the mostpopular poker variation inthe United States. Thegame is played with twoto eight players. Probablythe biggest differencebetween 7 Card Stud andTexas Hold'em is that 7Card Stud is a non-flopgame. Each player getsdealt a total of sevencards, of which three aredealt face down and fourare dealt face up. Fromthese seven cards theplayer has to choose hisbest five-cardcombination. The handrankings are identical tothose in Hold'em; a RoyalFlush is the best possiblehand and the worst handis the high card hand (nopair).

Every player starts offwith getting dealt threecards; two cards face-down and one cardface-up. The two face-down cards are called the'hole cards' and the face-up card is called the 'doorcard'. Based on thesethree cards you decidewhether or not you wantto continue with the hand.Like in any pokervariation, hand selectionis extremely important in7 Card Stud.

Antes, bring-in and betting

Every player pays anante before gettingdealt any cards.In ourexample weare playing a1€/2€ Studgame with a 0.10€ anteand a 0.50€ bring-in.

The three cards aredealt and the player withthe lowest door card isforced to pay the bring-inof 0.50€. This player canalso choose to bet 1€,which is called 'tocomplete'. The bettingcontinues clockwisearound the table, withplayers having the optionto call, raise or fold. Oncethe betting is complete,

every player left in thehand is dealt a fourthcard (4th street). Now,and in all rounds still tocome, the player with thehighest up-cards is theone who starts thebetting.

The minimum bets forthe remainder of the handare:4th street: 1€5th, 6th & 7th street (theriver) : 2€

Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips

Tiger shows his teeth

Woods and Garcia foundthemselves tied for thelead with two holes toplay and the winner’scheque of$1.1million inthe balance.But afterWoods made asafe par on the17th, Garciadumped twoballs into thewater short ofthe island greento end his hopes witha quadruple-bogey seven.

Playing partner DavidLingmerth somehowignored all the dramato hit his own tee shotto seven feet, butthe Swedish rookiemissed the birdieputt that wouldhave taken himinto a share ofthe lead andalso bogeyedthe last tryingto force aplay-off.

ThatmeantWoods’s closing 70 and 13-under-par total of 275 wasgood enough for a two-shotwin over Lingmerth, JeffMaggert and Kevin

Streelman. Woodsis now just fourwins away fromequalling the

record

82PGA

Tourvictories of Sam

Snead. It was alsohis fourth win in his

last five events – he wasfourth in the Masterslast month – and asecond PlayersChampionship title

coming 12 years afterhis first.

Garcia’s troublescontinued as he foundmore water on the 18th for

a double-bogey six and aclosing 76 to finish sixshots behind.

Woods and Garcia hadbeen embroiled in a rowduring the rain-

interrupted third roundafter the Spaniard feltthat Woods was toblame for crowd noisethat interrupted his

swing.

But they were keptapart in the final round asLingmerth joined them ina share of the lead after 54holes. Speaking after the

third round, Garcia saidof Woods:

"He's not myfavourite guy toplay with. He's not

the nicest guy onTour. So it willgood for bothus not to playtogether

again.We don'tlike eachother. Itdoesn'ttake arocket

engineer to figure that out.He is who he is. I am whoI am. It's best we're notplaying together again."

Tiger Woods claimed his 78th PGA Tour title and the richest prizein golf while Sergio Garcia became another victim of theinfamous 17th hole at Sawgrass, his chances of a second PlayersChampionship sank in the waters surrounding the island green.

Women to Contest Ashes Over All ree FormatsThe England women'scricket team will face theirAustralian counterpartsover all three formats ofthe game in August withthe winners of the Ashesbeing decided on a pointssystem, officials said onTuesday.

Women from the twocountries first competedagainst each other in aseries to mirror that oftheir male compatriots in1934 and the contestbecame a biennial testseries in 2001.

The next version takingplace in England later thisyear, however, willcomprise one test match,three one-dayinternationals and threeTwenty20 encounters.Winning the test matchwill be worth six pointswith a win in each of thelimited overs matchesworth two points. The

winner of most pointsclaims the series and theAshes trophy.

"The women's game hasseen huge growth ininterest and profile as aresult of the limited oversformats in recent years,"Clare Connor, head ofEngland women's cricket,said in a news release.

"The new women'sAshes series looks tocombine this reality withthe prestige and traditionof test match cricket.

"We believe that thisnew multi-format serieswill gain significantly moreprofile and context thancan be generated byplaying a one-off testmatch every couple ofyears."

Australia hold the Ashesafter reclaiming them bywinning a single test inSydney in January 2011.The trophy was created in1998 and contains theashes of a bat signed byboth of the teams thatcontested the series thatyear.

Following their defeat inGranada last weekend, Málagafaced a tough week, with thegame against Real Madridbought forward due to theirparticipation in the Copa DelRey and another Andalucianderby against rivals Sevilla.

The game against Madridon Wednesday couldn´t havestarted any worse. After justthree minutes Raul Albiolfound the back of the net withan unmarked header. Málagacame back though afterquarter of an hour with Santa

Cruz tapping in an equaliser.Things got worse for Málaga

when defender Sanchez got astraight red for dragging backRonaldo which resulted in apenalty. Willy Caballero madethe save to keep the scorelinelevel. The Argentine appearedto injure himself in making thesave and was substitutedbefore the break, but notbefore he gifted Madrid a thirdgoal two minutes later.Camacho was adjudged tohave passed the ball back toCaballero who picked it up,gifting a free kick to Madrid just5 yards from the goalline.Despite Málaga packing the

line, Ronaldo hammered theball into the back of the netmaking the score 2-1. Tenminutes later Ozil made it 3-1with a goal on the break. Threeminutes later Málaga´sAntunes scored with a greatshot, giving Málaga some hopegoing into the break. Howeverthese hopes were dashedwhen Benzama got Madrid´s4th goal at the end of the firsthalf.

The second half was a morequiet affair compared to thefirst and it was a massive uphillclimb if Málaga were to getanything from the match.Modric made it 5-2 after 63minutes following good playbetween himself and Alonsoand Málaga´s night got evenworse when Demichelisreceived a second yellow andMálaga were left with nineplayers for the last twentyminutes. On 90 minutes DiMaria completed the rout anda battered Málaga left Madridwith a 6-2 defeat.

Málaga had to pickthemselves up for anotherAndalucian derby on Sundayagainst fierce rivals Sevilla. Bothteams were looking to gainground in their respectiveEuropean campaigns. Málagamade a bright start to thegame and appealed for apenalty after two minuteswhen Juan Cala intercepted apass from Isco with his

shoulder, but the referee didnot give the penalty. Negredohad Sevilla's first real chance,shooting wide of the near postafter a cross from AlbertoBueno. It was the first of severalclear opportunities the visitorscreated in the opening 45minutes. Ivan Rakitic headed across from Diego Perotti wide,then Coke forced a good savefrom Kameni, before Negredovolleyed just wide of the post.Kameni had to be alert againearly in the second half to keepout a header from Cala.

Málaga´s strike force lookedpedestrian and never lookedlike breaking the deadlock,with their only chance of notein the second period being along range effort from Dudawhich did not trouble Beto,who had very little to do allevening. In the end the bestchance of the game fell toRakitic with 15 minutesremaining, Negredo crossed tothe Croatian from inside thearea but the midfielder headedinto the side netting.

Málaga now have a breakuntil the weekend after nextwhen they take on Deportivoin the last home game of theseason. With all the speculationof Pellegrini going to Man Citywe should know by then hisfate.

David Beckham creates historywith title win in France

TENNIS

Great Britain's Laura Robson beat seven-time Grand Slamwinner Venus Williams in the first round of the WTA eventin Rome. Robson, the world number 39, broke theAmerican's serve on six occasions to win 6-3 6-2. Williams,32, currently ranked at 24, struggled with a back injurythat has limited her to only four other tournaments so farthis season.

Robson will meet Venus's sister Serena, the worldnumber one, in round two. With the French Openbeginning on 26th May, Robson has earned another bigwin on clay following last week's run to the third round ofthe Madrid Open.

There may be continuing uncertainty over their coachCarlo Ancelotti's future, but what is beyond doubt is thatParis St-Germain are Ligue 1 champions. They sealed a firstFrench league title in 19 years thanks to a solitary JeremyMenez goal at Lyon, a fine 53rd-minute finish from ThiagoMotta's pass. David Beckham got in on the act as a latesubstitute for Menez, and became the first English playerto win a championship in four different countries (England,Spain, USA and France).
