“In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.” Dalai Lama

FBI under fire for lettingBoston bomber goThe FBI has come underfire for having let one ofthe Boston Marathonbombers go two years ago,when the Russiangovernment told theagency that TamerlanTsarnaev “was a followerof radical Islam”. FBIagents defended theiractions on Monday, sayingthat after investigatorsclosed the backgroundcheck on Tsarnaev,concluding that he posedno terrorist threat, theyhad no legal basis tomonitor him in the monthsleading up to the attack.

A senior FBI agent saidit would have been aviolation of federal

guidelines to keepinvestigating him withoutadditional information.Senior FBI andintelligence officials had toexplain to the SenateIntelligence Committee ina classified briefing onTuesday the steps theytook – and did not take –before and after Tsarnaevreturned last July from asix-month trip toChechnya and Dagestan,predominantly Muslimrepublics in the NorthCaucasus region of Russia.

In a statement onMonday, Senator MarkUdall, a ColoradoDemocrat on the panel,said: “There are many

questions I wantanswered, such as howand when the suspectsbecame radicalized, detailsof the FBI’s initialinvestigation intoTamerlan Tsarnaev’sactivities, the nature of theterrorist threat insouthern Russia, and moreinformation on ourcounterterrorismcooperation with Moscow.”

Meanwhile, in theintensive care ward ofBeth Israel DeaconessMedical Centre, thesurviving suspect –Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 –admitted on Sunday toplaying a role in theattacks. He is being

treated for what courtpapers described aspossible gunshot woundsto the “head, neck, legsand hand”. One law

enforcement officer saidthe wound to the neckappeared to be the resultof a self-inflicted gunshot.

I don’t know about you but,sometimes as I’m drivingalong a thought or aconundrum will just pop intomy head! Last week while Iwas delivering the papersand going past the El Farolighthouse it started mewondering, when it’s darkand/or foggy and a sailorwho is lost sees alighthouse, how does hetell how far it is away and,therefore, how far awayare the rocks or land? Arethey all at the same heightabove sea level and that’swhy the ones you see onrocky outcrops seem somuch taller than the onesperched on top of a cliff, oris it something to do withcandle power as well astheir height or, is itsomething completelydifferent?! There must besome sort of mathematicalequasion or, as Father Tedwould have said: “Is itsmall, or is it far away?”I could, of course, look itup on Google but, it’smuch better to ask otherpeople and get themthinking about it as well.Cruel, but there you haveit!

the answer and, whoknows, one of us may be outon a lost boat and it couldsave our lives. Unlikely but itis possible that you wouldbe the one to say: “Aha, Iknow the answer to that.”As for the weather, one dayhot, one day cold and lastWednesday at 5am we hadthick fog up here in Coin aswe left home to do thedeliveries.On a last note, I was verypleased to see thateveryone was civil at MrsThatcher’s funeral and therewas no silliness – well doneeverybody for keeping thepeace and well done CLC forflying British & Americanflags at half mast in respect.

He was charged onMonday with using aweapon of massdestruction that resultedin three deaths and morethan 170 injuries. Thecharges against Tsarnaevwere made public aboutthe same time thatBoston, like many citiesacross the country, held amoment of silence at 2:50p.m. on Monday – the timeof the explosions a weekbefore. If convicted, hefaces the death penalty orlife behind bars.

Saying the word “no”once, when asked if hecould afford a lawyer,Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19,nodded to answer thequestions put to him byspecially trained FBIagents who invoked aspecial JusticeDepartment public safety

exception that allowedthem to interrogate himwithout telling him he hadthe right to remain silent.He admitted that he hadbeen involved in laying thebombs that killed threepeople at the finish line ofthe Boston Marathon. Hesaid that he knew of noother plots and that heand his brother had actedalone.

As the legal process wasplaying out, investigatorswere still workingfeverishly to determinethe motives for theattacks. A lawyer forKatherine Russell, whomarried TamerlanTsarnaev in 2010, saidthat Ms. Russell found outthat her husband was asuspect in the bombingsonly after the authoritiesreleased the photos on

Thursday. The lawyerdeclined to elaborate onwhether his client hadseen changes in herhusband recently, but did

say that she did not speakRussian, so she could notalways understand whather husband was saying.

Most of the groupsbelonging to the M-15youth protest movementhave decided not to takepart in the encircling ofParliament on Thursdaywhich has been organisedby the violence-pronegroup Plataforma ¡En Pie!The group plans to "take"the Parliament buildingindefinitely until theGovernment resigns.

A spokesman for one ofthe protest groups –Acampada Sol – thatcamped out in the centreof Madrid in the summerof 2010 said it did notagree with the methodsbeing used by the Platformto organise the protest norwith the way it would becarried out. He said the

organisers werepractically "calling forviolence" and "this is notthe time for that". TheLegal Commission thatadvises Acampada Solwhich usually attendsprotests to help peopledetained by the police saidit would not be present atthe Parliament protest.

In a statement, theCommission said it couldnot participate in anaction where the decisionswere made by a handfuland not by a majority, aswas the norm in the M-15protest two years ago.Another group – theAssociation for RealDemocracy Now! – saidthat it did not have aposition one way or the

other, adding that theprotest's objectives "werenot very realistic".

Even the MortgageVictims Platform whichroutinely indulges inverbal violence hasdecided not to participatein Thursday's protest. TheCoordinadora 25S group,which organised a similartaking of Parliament lastSeptember, has decided to

put in an appearance,stressing that it wanted toexpress its rejection of thecurrent government in apeaceful way.

Meanwhile, hundreds

of riot police will be onhand to protect MPs, mostof whom seem to havedecided to take a day off toavoid being forced to sitout a protest that couldlast for several days.

Spain's population fell last year for the first time since theregular census began in 1992, by almost 206,000 to 47.1 million– the decline entirely accounted for by foreigners. the nationalStatistic institute (nSi) figures released on monday show thatimmigrants from Ecuador and Colombia showed the biggestfall.

the figures do not take into account many Spaniards who haveleft in search of work but are still on the census. the figuresshow that the ongoing economic crisis has reversed thecountry's rapid population growth in the decade before thefinancial crisis erupted in 2008. the bursting of the propertybubble and high unemployment levels compounded thesituation, forcing many economic migrants from South Americaand Eastern Europe to leave the country.

Socialist Party general secretary Pérez rubalcaba has putforward a proposal to suppress €500 notes to help fightorganised crime and tax evasion. He said that 25 per cent ofthe €500 notes circulating in the EU are to be found in Spain,mainly in the possession of drug traffickers and people hidingthe true extent of their wealth. "i've never seen one", he said.

He said Spain should take the initiative in suppressing thenotes, which would be exchanged for lower denominationones, thus forcing people to reveal just how much "blackmoney" they were not paying taxes on.

Catholics divided onabortion issue


Zpvs!pvumppl!po!uif!Xpsme NNational News 05the ewsN

With Justice MinisterAlberto Ruiz-Gallardónunder pressure from pro-life groups for failing on hiselection promise to changethe existing abortion law“in the first quarter of2013”, rifts are beginningto appear in the CatholicChurch's position on theissue. It bitterly opposedthe 1985 legislation and,with the tacit support ofthe PP, organised hugemarches in the streets ofMadrid and other cities inthe weeks before theSocialist governmentpassed its abortion law in2010, which gave womenthe right to abortion ondemand for up to 14 weeksof pregnancy.

Last week the GeneralSynod of Bishops launcheda new campaign aimed atpressuring the governmentto push ahead withrepealing the 2010 law andrestricting access toabortion yet further.

Before then, abortion wasonly legal on threeconditions: to preserve thephysical and mentalhealth of the mother; if thepregnancy was a result ofrape or incest; or if thefoetus was likely to suffermental or physicalabnormalities at birth.There were also timelimits and the need fordoctors’ agreement, andyoung women under theage of 18 required parentalpermission.

While there are groupswithin the CatholicChurch that take a muchmore radical position onabortion, demanding atotal ban, there aresignificant numbers ofclergy and parishionerswho see the daily reality ofwomen struggling to dealwith an unwantedpregnancy. The ChristianNetwork, which representshundreds of grassrootsCatholic associations and

groups throughout Spain,has accused the justiceminister of playing politicswith the abortion rightsissue, saying thateverything was fairly calm,"then along comesGallardón and with him,for ideological reasons, theminority voice of Catholicnationalism demands to beheard, trying to shoutdown the peaceful passageof a law on sexual healthand voluntary terminationof pregnancy". It said thatit is both dangerous andstupid to create a socialproblem, with pollsshowing that more than 80per cent of voters areagainst the proposedreforms.

According to thePlatform for the Defence ofReproductive and SexualRights, the governmentmust guarantee that"something that for somepeople is a sin should notbecome a crime for the rest

of us". It said restrictivelegislation will neversucceed in avoidingabortion but simplyincrease deaths amongwomen. It warned that thenew law will mean womenwith money will haveabortions clandestinely,while the less fortunatewill likely turn todangerous homemaderemedies. The Associationfor Interreligious Dialoguehas said that abortionrights must be approached“from the perspective ofhuman rights, as a publichealth matter becausesexual and reproductivehealth is part of our overallwelfare and goes beyondthe simple right of havingaccess to contraception orfamily planning services".

Justice Minister Ruiz-Gallardón has already saidthat some of his plannedreforms to the abortion law"will not please the Churchhierarchy".

Mr Napolitano, 87, wasspeaking on Monday as hebecame the first Italianpresident to be sworn infor a second term, afterparties failed to find areplacement.

President Napolitanosaid that deadlock mustnot continue, urgingpolitical parties to reach adeal on a new government"without delay". Hethanked MPs for theirbacking, but went on toaccuse them of being"deaf" to Italians' call forchange. And he impliedthat he might step down ifthe parties did notimplement much-needed

reforms. He accused themof allowing progress thathad been achieved underthe technocraticgovernment of MarioMonti to wither, and wasparticularly critical of the"unforgivable" failure toenact changes to anelectoral law which iswidely seen as flawed.

Mr Napolitano called onthe party leaders to reachagreement on a broadcoalition, saying that wasthe only option open in thecurrent circumstances.Italy still has nogovernment, eight weeksafter an exceptionallytight election resulted in a

hung parliament.

The election left threeparties nearly evenlybalanced, but animositybetween them has madeattempts to build acoalition futile. Centre-leftleader, Pier Luigi Bersani,who has a majority in thelower house but not in the

Senate, which it also needsin order to govern, hasrejected any suggestion ofa coalition with the centre-right of his ideologicalenemy Silvio Berlusconi,while his overtures to theFive-Star protestmovement led by popularcomedian Beppe Grillohave been firmly rebuffed.

President Giorgio Napolitano chided the politicians who re-elected him onSunday, saying he only agreed to it because of a deep political crisis.

British golferdies in SpainThomas Ross, 73, fromNairn in Scotland, drownedin a lake on a Spanish golfcourse while trying torecover his lost ball. He wasdragged out alive but diedmoments later despitedesperate attempts toresuscitate him. The retiredelectrician, who was on agolfing holiday with sixfriends, is believed to havelost his balance and toppledinto the lake at the fifthhole. A postmortem wasbeing held to determinewhether heart problemsmay have contributed to hisdeath at the Dunas deDonana Golf Club nearHuelva in southwest Spain.

Mr Ross, a non-swimmerwho has two sons inAustralia, had been stayingwith the rest of the group atthe four-star CarabelaBeach & Golf Hotel nearDonana National Park. A spokesman said: “The

water in the lake is onlyaround waist high but itgets deeper the further in

you go.”Mr Ross’s friends weremaking statements today toan investigating judge whohas opened a routineinquiry into the tragedy,which happened at 11.30amon Sunday. A police sourcesaid: “It appears the deadman drowned after goinginto the lake to try to get hisgolf ball. We don’t know yetwhy he got into difficulties.We are trying to determinewhether he lost his balanceand tripped or maybesuffered some sort of panicattack while he was in thewater.”

Yvonne Forgan,secretary at his local NairnDunbar Golf Club, said: “Weonly heard about it thismorning. It’s an absolutetragedy.He had been amember here for 33 years.He was passionate about hisgolf and had a handicap of17. He was a popular andwell known figure at theclub and will be sorelymissed.”

The biting incident inwhich Liverpool strikerLuis Suarez was involvedtook the gloss off what wasan otherwise entertaining2-2 draw with Chelsea inthe English BarclaysPremier League.Ironically Suarez scored

an excellent late headedgoal to bring the matchlevel after biting an

astonished BranislavIvanovic earlier in thematch. The incidentoccurred off the ball andwas not seen by thereferee.But the win of the

weekend must beTottenham’s 3-1demolition of star-studdedManchester City. ClintDempsey, Jermain Defoe

and Gareth Bale were onfire. All scored in a seven-minute blitz and they weregood goals. City had takenan early lead throughSamir Nasri.The result left

Manchester United clearto lift the title and City toconcentrate on securingsecond spot.

This is Molly.She is a 16-year-old Yorkie that was

stolen by burglars when they got into her home in Atalaya earlier this week.

Molly is very recognisable as she has only one eye and a rather large tumour on her tummy.

She has a microchip and vets have been alerted that she has been stolen.

It is bad enough getting burgled without this sortof heartless thing happening. This little dog is

being badly missed by her owners so, keep your eyes peeled and if you see her anywhere,

please give Jo a ring on 634 109 688 and make a happy ending for everyone.

A British woman who refused to allow police to breathalyse herwhen her car overturned told them she had swerved to avoida cat crossing the road. She admitted to having had three beersbut refused to repeat the test after the first turned out negative– only because she sucked instead of blowing. When the policeinsisted, she put the gadget in her mouth but made no attemptto blow into it. Before her car overturned, the woman had runinto two parked cars.

Cordoba adopts halalfor Moslem tourists

Cordoba wants to be thecity where civilisationsmeet, which is all verywell in theory but not sogood in practice.

The city's pride and joyis the impressiveMezquita Catedral(Mosque Cathedral) aUnesco World HeritageSite which attractsMoslems from all over theworld. But it is owned bythe Catholic church,which has forbiddenMoslems to pray there.

Now the cityauthorities are workingon a plan together withthe Islamic Junta ofSpain's Halal Institute towin over Moslem visitorsvia their stomachs. Underthe slogan "Cordoba, cityof three cultures", hotelsand restaurants areworking together on amenu based on halalmethod of killinglivestock, the only oneaccepted by Islam.

In addition, hotel

rooms will indicate theeastern orientationtowards Mecca as well asproviding prayer mats.Carmen Romero, aspokesperson for theHalal Institute, said thesewere simple things butwould help to makeMoslem tourists feel theyare appreciated by thecity. She said she hopedthe new Pope, Francis I,

would persuade theChurch in Cordoba toallow Moslems to pray inthe Mezquita. Meanwhile,the Partido Popular-Andalucia is urging theJunta de Andalucia toallow Jewish weddings tobe held in the Synagogue,the monument mostvisited after theMezquita, which wouldencourage Jews to visit

the city. A spokesman said the

request would be easy togrant because it neededno investment, just theJunta's permission.Cordoba is a living proofthat Jews, Christians andMoslems once livedpeacefully side by side forcenturies during theMoorish occupation of Al-Andalus.

Oil cruets are about tobecome a collectors' item,once their prohibition byBrussels comes into effect.

On January 1st nextyear, they will disappearfrom bars and restaurantsas part of a plan –proposed by Spain – toprevent them being usedto pass off ordinary oliveoil for the extra virgin orvirgin varieties, whichshould be used for saladsand the Spaniards'favourite breakfast ofbread and olive oil.

They will be replacedby small "one-dose"containers which cannot

be refilled or smallunrefillable bottles of oilso that clients know theyare getting the real thing.Portugal withdrew oilcruets from public eatingplaces in 2006 andanother country with astrong olive oil tradition isalready replacing them.

N EWSIN BRIEF



Despite a recent in-deptharticle explaining the insand outs of the theobligatory declaration offinancial assets heldoutside of Spain, writtenby Consultant JohnMcCann from the wealthmanagement firm BlevinsFranks (The News, issue218*) the controversycontinues.

The facts are clear,there is definitely a legalobligation for all Spanishnationals to submit thisdeclaration, and thatincludes all foreignersregistered as living inSpain, although, it is fairto say they are not theprimary target. This is nota “Guiri” witch hunt.

Basically, it is onlyassets that exceed 50,000Euros in any one of threespecific categories thatneed to be declared, that'sall, declared. Yes there areconditions and rules, on

what, when and how butthere is no tax to pay. TheModelo 720 declaration isa separate exercise to yourannual tax return.Furthermore for mostforeigners, especiallyBrits, as explained by theBritish Embassy in theirpress release (The News,issue 217*) there is adouble taxation agreementwhich prevents the sametax being paid on the sameasset, twice.

What's not clear tosome, is the size of thebrick that will fall on yourhead if you don't do it. Thisis a very big brick, apunitive brick, with lumpson it.

The Hacienda meansbusiness, that much istrue. Is this also a fishingexpedition, probably. Areyou obliged to pay tax onyour income, yes. Do youhave to pay the same taxtwice, no. Can you hide

your cash off-shore andnot pay your taxesindefinitely, not since theexcel spread sheet arrived.Are Europeangovernments whisperingin each other ears, itseems so. Is thisdeclaration form - Modelo720 - a bit of a monster tofill in that has to be doneonline, yes. Will you needhelp doing it, almostcertainly.

If I am an honest hardworking citizen, who hasno black moneysquirrelled away in someoff-shore bank account andhave always paid mytaxes, do I have anythingto worry about, no. And ifI am not, well, this mightbe a golden opportunity tocome clean. Could thesituation change in someway in the future,probably, this is thegovernment after all. Isthis Cyprus 2, no. Theprinciple motive is to

combat tax fraud in Spain.

Bars and newspapersmight not be the bestplaces to get specificinformation. Some recentletters to newspapershave actually encouragedforeign residents to ignorethis, those letters say, “na,no pasa nada” - well, pasamucho, but that's all up toyou. When in doubt seekgood professional advice.The deadline is nextTuesday April 30th 2013so sooner rather thanlater.

Oil cruets tobe withdrawn

Memo fromMadridMartin DelfínWrites for the English language version of

The LocalVoice

Muriel Pilkington

With terrorist attacks in theWestern hemisphere onceagain making headlines, I

couldn't help but notice an article inthe online newspaper ElConfidencial Digital about anotherarticle which appeared recently in anAl Qaeda publication, written byMustafa Setmarian, a radicalIslamist with Spanish nationality.In it, he explains the reasons behindwhat he calls the "deterrence"attacks on trains in Madrid onMarch 11th, 2004, three days beforethe general election. Setmarian saysthe polls showed a majority ofSpaniards planned to vote for thePartido Popular government, whichhad led Spain into the Iraq war.

He says the objective of theattacks was to changeSpanish public opinion, and

in this they were successful. Thebombings galvanised the anti-warcrowd, with a little bit of help fromthe Socialist Party, which organisedanti-war protests on the day beforethe general election which wassupposed to be a day of reflection. Asa result, what Setmarian calls a"hostile" government was toppledand victory went to Zapatero whohad promised to bring the Spanishtroops home, which he duly did. Theother desired result was that"America lost a major ally by a singledeterrence operation alone, at thecost of several martyrs". However, inreality it was Spain that lost a majorally, as George W. Bush's studiousignoring of Zapatero for the next fouryears showed.

Setmarian seems to believe thatthe bombings drove a wedgebetween the US and its

European allies, when in fact theydeepened the abhorrence mostWestern countries felt for theIslamist terrorists. He then goes onto unsuspectingly explain whydecent people loathe the Islamists'total disregard for human life, listingthe good targets for terrorist actionsas "places where Muslims should notbe such as places of sin, night clubsas in Bali, Mardi Gras, financialcentres as in the Twin Towers,political parties or organisationsthat persecute Muslims and sportsevents that attract hugecrowds" – such as the BostonMarathon.

While the communitiesaffected by such hideousterrorist acts have rallied

round with a deeper defiance ofthreats from the outside – whichdefeats the objective of cowing theminto submission – there are otherside effects that are not so easy to

evaluate at first sight. Take theMadrid bombings. They brought topower a man who simply was notmentally, emotionally orintellectually equipped to govern acountry, a man whose only objectivewas to keep himself and his party inpower. As a result, he resorted todemagoguery – baby cheques, rentsubsidies for young people,legalising illegal immigrants whocould then vote for him in regionaland local elections, among manyother things.

His obstinacy in refusing torecognise the economic crisisin mid-2007 – too close to the

March 2008 general election and nota vote winner – led to all theprivations millions of people aresuffering today, however much theLeft tries to deny this. His desire tobe all things to all men – especiallythe nationalists in Catalonia and theBasque Country – has led to thestrong independence movements inboth regions which threaten to tearSpain apart. His desire to be theman who brought the Basqueterrorist group ETA in from the coldand his tolerance of parties andgroups that sympathised with it hasled to the political situation in theBasque Country today – where a pro-ETA bloc that nearly won the lastregional election is pushing for allETA prisoners to be released andperverting the meaning of the wordvictim – these are not just the peoplekilled by ETA but include theirexecutioners, the ETA prisoners whoare being kept in jail by a "vengefulSpanish government".

That man's misgovernment of acountry has led to what mayturn out to be the death of a

party that was founded in 1879.Thanks to Zapatero and his divisiveideas, the Socialist Party is about togo down the drain, split into several"branches" in the regions that arecurrently defying the "mother" partyin Madrid. Even worse, the only twocandidates tipped to challenge itscurrent general secretary, AlfredoPerez Rubalcaba, for the partyleadership are Zapateristas to themarrow of their bones.

The people behind the Madridbombings killed 191 peopleand injured nearly 2,000 more.

But by bringing the Socialists topower, they have ruined the lives ofmillions of people who were justbeginning to enjoy a certain level ofprosperity and freedom after decadesof poverty and repression underFranco.

Bad bankingAn unseen trickle-down effect

By the time the governmentcompletes its restructuring ofthe financial system, the

banking industry in Spain will endup a very slight image of what it istoday. How these changes will affectcustomers are far too evident. Highersurcharges and account maintenancefees are already being introduced asfinancial institutions prepare to forkover money that will go to payinvestors who lost their savings bytaking out preference shares atbanks, such as Bankia, in what manysay was an unscrupulous move bybankers to dupe their clients.

The Rajoy administration wantsthe nation’s banks – thoseinstitutions that have not

received a government handout – toset aside a percentage based on theamount of their deposits to go to theOrderly Bank Restructuring Fund(FROB). This money will be used tohelp some estimated 300,000preference share investors recovertheir losses after they were cleanedout when bank stocks suddenly – butnot surprisingly – dropped to recordlow levels. For example, Bankia, thebad boy of the preference sharescandal, debuted on the blue chipIbex 35 market in July 2011 at €7 pershare, but its stock quickly fell.Today, those shares are worth just afew cents.

Ordered bad bank mergers arealso becoming questionable.At Banco Valencia, one of the

regional banks Banco de España hadto intervene last year, some 795employees across the nation will losetheir jobs next month as the entity isabsorbed by Caixabank. The FROBhas accused some 15 businessmen,most of them from the constructionindustry as well as a group of bankdirectors, of directly ransacking thebank with the issuing of bad loansand questionable credits. Twoemployees at Banco de Valencia toldme that trade union officials dealtthe workers a rotten hand when theynegotiated the terms of the massivelayoff plan, known in Spanish as“ERE.” Caixabank decided to take injust a handful of Banco de Valenciaemployees – the privileged who willstill have jobs are the bank managersand union representatives; the restwill be made redundant.

The trade union came outsmelling like a rose on this one.According to the two Banco de

Valencia workers the union, asmediator, received €600 for eachemployee for whom it negotiated theterms of the layoff plan. Theunemployment crisis appears to bevery profitable for not only big

business but the labour leadersthemselves. In the coming months,troubled Banesto will also undergoan ERE that could put as many as300,000 employees out on the streets.

As Spanish banks struggle todeal with the financial crisis,they are also coming under

intense pressure from the specialinterest group, the Mortgage VictimsPlatform (PAH), to stop kickingfamilies who can’t meet theirpayments out of their homes. Theregional governments of Andalusiaand Catalonia are biting back. Boththe Socialist and Catalan nationalistCiU bloc, which govern these tworegions, have announced that theywill begin taxing banks and realestate firms that foreclose and holdon to empty homes. The Andalusiangovernment also announced ameasure embargoing theseforeclosures for three years if arepossession means putting a needyfamily out on the streets. The pro-business Rajoy administrationdoesn’t like these moves and hasbegun to study legal remedies to keepthese stalwart regions from goingafter the banks.

Over the years, the bankshaven’t been good to anyoneexcept the home builders and

construction and real estatemagnates who got fat on generouscredits with dubious terms that putthe entire country in thisunprecedented crisis. And the Rajoygovernment is not doing much topunish these institutions for theirbad management. Instead, it is usingthe FROB government fund, whichwas set up to help in the rescue plan,to help pay for the sins of Bankia andother savings banks that soldpreference shares. Some might arguethat the move is a necessary remedythat goes to help clients who losttheir entire savings by investing inthese speculative instruments. Butthe FROB was set up not to deal withthe micro aspects of bad banking butto shore up troubled institutions.

Brussels has not commentedpublicly about Rajoy’s plans touse the FROB to resolve

problematic private transactions.But within the coming months theEuropean Union reps will once againtake Spain to task and stop thePartido Popular Party (PP) fromtrying to cure the banking ills withits own mixed up remedies.

Online adultery agencyapologises to the QueenQueen Sofia has won anapology from the US-basedAshley Madison onlinedating agency foradulterers for using herimage in an advertisingcampaign hinting at theKing's rumouredindiscretions. She tooklegal action against theagency for "damage to herhonour and dignity" afterit used a photograph of herin a series of adverts lastyear. The company, whichspecialises in connectingpeople looking for extra-marital affairs, issued apersonal apology to QueenSofia and promised neverto use her image in itsmarketing campaigns.

The offendingadvertisements containeda doctored image of thesmiling Queen drapedaround the bare shouldersof a much younger man,beneath the words: "Youno longer have to spendthe night alone". It

apparently referred towidespread rumours thatKing Juan Carlos hadconducted numerousaffairs during their 50-year marriage. Abiography of Queen Sofia,written by Pilar Eyre,entitled "The Solitude ofthe Queen", published inJanuary 2012, detailedthe King's numerousindiscretions, including analleged pass at PrincessDiana, and claimed thepair had not shared a bedsince the mid-1970s.

Last year, the "closefriendship" betweenPrincess Corinna zu sayn-Wittgenstein, 48, andKing Juan Carlos madeheadlines after it becameknown that she hadaccompanied him on anelephant hunting trip toBotswana in April 2012,during which he broke hiship. However, no legalcomplaint was made whenAshley Madison used the

King's image in theaftermath of his ill-fatedsafari, showing himflanked by two scantily-clad models with theslogan: "The best place tohunt for an adventure".The agency had also usedhis image alongside that ofPrince Charles and BillClinton on billboards inMadrid the year beforewith the words: "What dothese 'royals' have incommon? – They shouldhave used AshleyMadison".

Queen Sofia used a

private lawyer to sueAshley Madison to ensureno public funds were usedin the case. She asked forno monetarycompensation only apublic apology and aguarantee that it wouldn'thappen again.

Ashley Madison, whichuses the motto "Life isshort, Have an affair", waslaunched in the US in2001 and now has portalsin 26 countries. It claimsto have more than 18million members aroundthe world.

The anticlerical Pro SexToys anarchist group hassent several explosivedevices hidden insidepackages containingvibrators to prominentRoman Catholics,according to the State-owned news agency EFE.One device exploded at apostal sorting office,slightly injuring thewoman who was handlingthe package.

The group apparentlyapologised in an emailsent to an anarchistwebsite at the beginning oflast month, in which itpromised – "Next time wewon't fail." Similar deviceswere sent to theArchbishop of Pamplona,Francisco Pérez, and thehead teacher of a privateschool belonging to theultra-conservativeLegionnaires of Christmovement in Madrid.

The archbishop toldEFE that he vaguelyrecalled police takingaway a suspicious package

containing powder. "Wedidn't give it muchimportance, but later wewere told it was a bomb,"he said.

The news agency saidpolice believe the samegroup is behind a bombpacked inside a pressurecooker that was left nearthe public prosecutor'soffice in Madrid, but failedto explode.

The same group is alsobelieved to be responsiblefor another rudimentarybomb found in Madrid'sAlmudena Cathedral,consisting of shrapnel,explosive powder and acamping gas canister.

The group, which usesother names such as theArtisans Club for NewUses for Coffee, claimedto have made a bomb outof an espresso coffeemachine packed withgunpowder and shrapnelthat was planted at a bankbranch.

Steve Jones’ newappointment

As this year’s deadline fastapproaches (30th April2013), many of you willhave recently read variousviews and interpretationsof the new ‘information’return for overseas assetsheld by residents of Spain.

I detail below some ofthe questions posed toSpeed Financial Solutionsand our view on how todeal with this newrequirement. But first, Iwant to reassure our expatcommunity that there aretax breaks available to youas residents of Spain, justas there are in the UK.For example, in the UK wehave ISAs which grow taxfree. However, we need toremember that what is taxefficient in one countryisn’t necessarily taxefficient in another.Taking the ISA examplefurther, as a Spanish taxresident, any growthadded to your ISAs in theUK each year should bedeclared and is taxablehere in Spain, whetheryou choose to take thatgrowth or not!But just because ISAs

are not tax efficient inSpain, it doesn’t mean thatthere is no equivalentavailable to you. It’smerely a case offamiliarising yourself withwhat you CAN do as a

Spanish resident.The biggest fear for

many of our clients is notonly tax efficiency whilstalive, but tax efficiency ondeath. As you know, inthe UK assets (includingsavings) pass from spouseto spouse on death freefrom Inheritance Tax.Unfortunately, the same isnot the case in Spain.However, by makingsimple adjustments to theway that your savings areheld it is extremely easy totake advantage of taxbreaks available to youhere, ensuring that yoursavings are not ‘frozen’ orliable for a hefty tax bill onyour death before yoursurviving partner canmake use of them. Toclarify, to be ‘SpanishCompliant’ and ‘TaxEfficient in Spain’ does notmean bringing yoursavings into Spain –please ask us for furtherinformation.

Now, back to theQuestions and Answers:

Q - I have a property inthe UK – do I need todeclare this?

A – Yes, the full value ofthe property should bedeclared, irrespective ofany mortgageoutstanding.

Q – I have a QROPS –do I need to declare the fullvalue of my QROPS?

A – No, QROPS fallunder UK Pensionlegislation, and as suchyou have no ‘outright’entitlement to the fullvalue of your pension.However, any entitlementto your pensioncommencement lump sum(previously referred to as25% tax free cash) shouldbe reported, unless youhave already taken it orare below age 55 and sounable to take it.

Q – I have an OffshoreLife Assurance Bond – doI need to declare the valueof this?

A – This depends on theBond Provider and howthe Bond is set up – someoffshore bonds (orwrappers as they are oftenreferred to) are notSpanish Compliant. Someare Spanish Compliantbut as always the devil isin the detail. The chancesare that it is only going tobe 'compliant' if it is froma recognised EUjurisdiction, and only ifthere is a Fiscal Repinvolved. For example,Wrappers/Life AssuranceBonds held in the Isle ofMan, Jersey, Luxembourgor the UK do not avoidSpanish Inheritance Taxon first death, and thesurrender values also needto be added to the newInformation Return. It’simportant to ascertainhow the new reportingrequirement affects yourparticular bond.

Q – I have annuityincome – do I need todeclare this?

A – Let’s rememberhere that the word‘annuity’ means differentthings in differentcountries. In the UK,when you buy an annuityyou are giving away alump sum in return for aguaranteed income for life.In Spain, this is notnecessarily the case. Thequestion here is whetheryou have a right to takethe fund itself – Usually,for our UK expats, annuityincome is being taken fromUK tax relieved pensionfunds, because they aretax relieved, pensionlegislation dictates that

most of the ‘fund’ must beused to provide an incomein retirement. On thisbasis, the only outrightentitlement to the funditself is the ability to takethe 25% pensioncommencement lump sum,not the full pension fundvalue.

Q – I have adiscretionary trust – do Ineed to declare this?

A – Depends who youask! We have completedconsiderable research intothe tax efficiency ofdiscretionary trusts heldby Spanish residents. Infact, my own qualificationsinclude additional studiesaround taxation andtrusts in particular. Onecould argue that SpainDOES recognise trusts,the use of an Uso fructo(the right to live in aproperty owned bysomeone else) is a trustused frequently in Spain.However, every legalexpert we haveapproached has come backwith only their ‘view’. Theconsensus seems to be thata trust may work,provided the authoritiesdo not investigate andstrip it further on death.The description of thelegal owner here is ‘inrelation to which he holdsa power of disposition, ie;IS THE ACTUAL BUTCONCEALED HOLDER’.The reality is that if yourmain concern is to havethe ability to use yoursavings as your wish, andpass them onto yoursurviving spouse free oftax, why have theadditional cost and hassleof a discretionary trust?There are alternativesavailable to you that willsatisfy this objective foryou.

Let in the sun -keep out the heat!

Most of us from NorthernEurope come here for thebenefits of the year roundsunshine and because ofthis we want our homes tolet in as much light aspossible and not have to bestuck behind shutters andblinds. However we thenexperience fading offurnishings, suffer thediscomfort of excessiveheat and glare in the roomwhich we then try tocombat with airconditioning and so drivethe running costs throughthe roof.

Well there is a longterm fix; Solar ControlWindow Film – suppliedand fitted by us at SolarShade to glass curtains,glazed balconies, picturewindows conservatories,cars, yachts – really wherethere's glass that's wherewe stick it.

What does SolarControl film do?

As it sounds, it controlsthe sun’s heat entering theroom through the glazing,therefore making it acomfortable temperaturereducing 40+ Celsius to25-27 Celsius which thenallows the air conditioningto run on economy thussaving money, but keeping

that all important lightand view.

The material is bondedinternally and sometimesexternally to the glasssurface and selects theinfra-red part of thespectrum – the heatcausing part – and reducesit, therefore bringing downthe internal roomtemperature but not thelight levels excessively.The other unique part is itwill retain winter heat tooby insulating the glass andupgrading older single anddouble glazed windows tocurrent energy standards.It also provides a safety

feature of holding brokenglass together in the eventof an accident – forinstance older singleglazed glass is made safeespecially in areas ofconstant use by children.

It comes in manydifferent colours andshades – silver, bronze,

blue, green, black etc. andonce installed ismaintenance free. It addsprivacy to your home bykeeping out prying eyes,practically removes fadingby preventing 99% of ultraviolet light, and willenhance the look of thebuilding or vehicle.

The Tint film can alsobe supplied as a Solarblind if you want theflexibility of only seasonaluse but the same benefitsas already described.

Since 1994 when the eventbegan, every yearthousands of visitors turnout to enjoy what isconsidered by many to bethe best of the Fuengirolaferias, the FeriaInternational de LosPueblos. The Fuengirolaferia ground – with its clubhouses, concert hall andfairground – which wasspecifically built for thesefestive events is easilyfound, halfway betweenLos Boliches andFuengirola, on AvenidaJesus Santos Rein wherethe weekly markets arealso held.This year the festival

runs every day from nextWednesday 1st May(public holiday) through toSunday the 5th May from2.00 pm to around 4.00 inthe morning. It is aspectacular event thatdisplays the costumes,folklore and music of themany differentnationalities that are nowresident in the Fuengirolaarea. There are a lot, toomany to mention in detail,over 30 nationalities willbe represented, like this

Norwegian traditional folkgroup pictured here fromlast year.Most noticeable are the

numerous south Americanstalls with their hugesmoking meat Parrillas(grills), out on the streetcooking vast slabs of beefand sausage. SpanishMoraga style Espetos deSardinas and Paellas,Scandinavian barbecueroasted Salmon, Indiancurries, Polish sausage,Hawaiian cocktails,German beers, CubanMojitos, Moroccan minttea and sticky middleeastern sweet dishes, eachone will proudly offer you ataste of their homeland asthey good heartedly try tooutdo all the others. TheFuengirola Feria de LosPueblos is short of nothingwhen it comes toambiance, food and drink,entertainment and fun, itreally is excellent.Inside the Casetas

(festival halls or clubhouses) is yet anothercolourful world of craftsand traditional wares andeven more food,entertainment and dance.

MexicanMariachiBands,Egyptianbelly dance,dashingArgentinianTangodancers,Cuban andBraziliansalsa.Costumes and shows areeverywhere. It's crowdedtoo, the streets are full. Itis estimated by some thatlast year there could havebeen close to if not over onemillion visitors – and oneor two pick pockets.In the evening there is a

party atmosphere, acarnival, the very popularIrish Caseta hosts some ofthe best rock and Celticbands on the coast. Youcan expect equalenthusiasm and qualityentertainment to the earlyhours from all the othercountries throughout thewhole event. In addition tothose already mentionedusually present areBolivia, Perú, Chile,Ecuador, Paraguay,Uruguay and Venezuela,

Nigeria, Scotland,Portugal, Bulgaria,Finland, Norway, Jordan,Palestine, Iran,Philippines, Thailand,Japan probably a few moretoo and for the first time inquite a while the English. A five day trip around

the world not to be missed.

Based on Isaac Marion’sbook. Zombies love people,especially their brains. ButR (Nicholas Hoult) isdifferent. He’s aliveinside, unlike thehundreds of othergrunting, drooling undead– all victims of a recentplague that drove theremaining survivors into aheavily guarded city.

Now the Zombies roamabout an airport terminal,

searching for human preyand living in fear of thevicious Boneys, the nextundead incarnation.

One day, R and his bestfriend M lumber towardthe city in search of food.There, R first sets his eyeson Julie (Teresa Palmer), abeautiful human.

Determined to save her– first from the otherZombies and then from the

Boneys – R hides her inhis home, a cluttered 747aircraft. Julie is terrified,and R’s gruntedassurances of “Not … eat”do little to calm her. Butwhen R begins to actmore human thanZombie, coming to herdefense, refusing to eathuman flesh, and evenspeaking in full sentences,Julie realizes that R isspecial.

After a few close callswith the Boneys, and withher father mounting anarmed search for her, Julierealises she can’t hideforever.

A genre-bending tale oflove and transformation,WARM BODIES is a storyabout a boy who loves agirl … for more than justher body.

MOVIES AND DVDS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN 2013

MOVIE SPOTLIGHT By Amy Thomas

Last year I heard thatJohn Cusack was going

to be playing Edgar AllenPoe, in “The Raven”. Iwaited with bated breathand finally got round toseeing it just the othernight.

My excitement wasrapidly extinguished,

as the black raven ofboredom devoured mybitter brain with the flickerof each passing frame. Thisthriller, based upon his luridtales of madness anddeath, has a lot of potentialyet it misses the mark. Idon’t understand how thisscreenplay managed to getso badly written, when it’sgot the ingredients for areal nail biter.

It is set in the mid 1800sand involves poet Edgar

Allan Poe. A killer ismurdering people usingPoe's descriptions from hispublished stories andpoems. Poe teams up withDetective Fields, aBaltimore policeman, to tryand catch the killer by usinghis knowledge of thedescriptions. Even thoughthe stories are fictional,they start to become realityand the killer seems onestep ahead of them. Then ittakes on a personal note asPoe's lover becomes atarget.

Iget the impression thedirector was influenced

by Pitof’s 2001 “Vidocq” -1830s Paris, where famousdetective Vidocq,disappears while pursuingan assassin called TheAlchemist. However, “TheRaven” is no “Vidocq”. Eventhough Poe’s tasty tales areincorporated into the story,the actual film is boring andpredictable. The acting ismediocre at best, evenJohn Cusack has said, and Iquote “I've made 10 goodfilms” and from a guy who’smade over 60, personally, Ithink he’s overratinghimself a tad, I’d say he’sdone five good films.

One of my biggestproblems with this film

is that it was too long.There was too much timespent on trying to make thecharacters likeable, whichwas pointless, as they areone dimensional, andboring. The dialogue waspretentious and overdone,yet lacking – there was nohumour, nothing worthhearing, really. Thekidnapped fiancée, whoseacting is dismal, is keptcaptive in a “makeshift”coffin of some type. Duringone of the scenes you cansee that there is no side tothe coffin, so, I’m thinking,why doesn’t she just climbout the side of it?

The only character I caredfor in the film was Poe’s

pet raccoon Carl. However,it is unclear if Poe really didhave a pet raccoon.Fictional or not, he was theonly decent thing in thewhole film worth seeing,even if he was a bit on thetubby side.

Another thing that didn’twork for me, was the

final credits. It was like thebeginning of “The Girl withThe Dragon Tattoo”, it wasreally weird. Made youthink you were watching adifferent movie.

So, there it is, don’t wasteyour time or your

money on “The Raven”. Myfinal verdict is: Too muchflapping and not enoughpecking!

This is like a final push to get a project or a passion in progress and on its way.Things may feel a bit all over the place and as though it is difficult to focus, butby the weekend you will probably be feeling like you have been plugged intothe mains when a surge of energy will enable you to get on. Although it mayfeel like two steps forward and one step back you are still making measureablestrides of progress.

You may have been feeling quite disorientated during the past month and a bituncertain of where you were heading like your head was in a fog and the futureseemed unclear. Things are beginning to move and answers are starting tocome in giving you a compass for you to set your ship’s navigation and proceedonward towards a better horizon. Someone may be circling back into your lifeto help you, embrace them with open arms.

Capturing the attention of others this week comes naturally to you, it is as if allof a sudden everybody seems to want to know what you are doing, how youare doing it and whether your actions are successful or not. Basically otherswant you to be the leader and take mighty risks, probably because they do notwant to do it themselves. Keep flexible and be adaptable to changingconditions, be ready for the unexpected.

You are known for being a water sign and one that is sensitive and caring butthere is another side of you less known about that surprises many, the fact thatyou never give up, you are a fighter, especially when it involves someone youlove. There may have been something over time that has beaten you down orgotten the better of you but this week it is going to be different. It is time to re-write the rules and take charge of the changes.

This is the week to be ultra observant of all that is going on around you, thereis a definite reason for everything that happens and the clue to this could bestaring you in the face. Be careful not to take on more than you can handle,others will be looking up to you to show them the way. Perhaps it is time toput your whole heart into initiating something creative or inventive that willput your name on the map.

This week it may seem as if fears are coming out of nowhere, a kind of energythat you cannot put your finger on. By the weekend you will feel a lot moregrounded and will find that certain themes are resolved. When it comes to yourpersonal relationships with others, some needed adjustments are now beingmade. This is an incredible time for love and romance where your passion indexis sky high, enjoy these moments of intimacy.

Lately you have felt encouraged to demand better balance in all things, to makesure you are not giving all your energy away. You have within you the potentialto rise above any kind of troubles or situations and when you feel the freedominside you there is little that can hold you back or darken your days. No onewill have the power to rush or hurry you into taking action that you are notready for.

Some of those old pains and fears may have risen to the surface, bringing themup for full review again, igniting everything that does not feel right. You needlife to spike with feeling and you need to know that your path is leading yousomewhere significant, as you live off the charge, on the emotion of life, you aregoing to poke and probe until you find a reason. Maybe you are working toohard, or not having enough time for fun, something needs to find its equilibrium.

There is a clear indication now that you need to focus on your health and yourhabits including the places you allow your mind to travel. Your overall drive istrying to create a deeper and more intensely satisfying personal relationshipin your life. This energy is working to combine the physical, emotional andmental aspects of yourself together so that all areas of your life start to flow insynch. The things you say and do have a great impact on others right now.

Your feelings and emotions are taking centre stage lately and they are beingignited and fed by a significant other, for when you team up with equals yourforce is unstoppable. The pleasures in life will be increasing and your love lifewill aid to increasing harmony within the home. Make sure you attend to yourown matters first before worrying about fixing others. This is a great time forcreativity of all descriptions.

You are in a cycle of expanded awareness, where your mind is locked in andcan process facts, figures and data at amazing speed and accuracy, in fact youare more aware, but this doesn’t make you any better than others, so remaingrateful for the gift of insight you are currently being given. Use those insightsto create better life conditions for yourself and others as you are well able toprepare in advance for those future wants and desires.

All of your baseline bottom line essential needs have been in focus and in orderto get in touch with the depths of just what they are, your focus has been onnavigating and strengthening that inner space. The focus has also been aboutyour earthly needs and having the resources necessary to satisfy the essentialsas well as having the financial freedom to support these wants and needs. Thereis more stability on the horizon, although initially you may feel uncertain as toa proposed route - it may just lead to breakthroughs.

Beetroot 'can lower blood pressure'Drinking a cup of beetrootjuice can lower bloodpressure, according toresearchers at Barts andThe London School ofMedicine and Dentistry.

Their study of 15patients found thatdrinking 250ml (8oz) cut

high blood pressurereadings by 10mm ofmercury (mmHg),bringing some into thenormal range. Mostmarked after three to sixhours, the effect wasdetectable a day later.

The nitrate in beetroot

widens blood vessels to aidflow. And many peoplewith angina use a nitratedrug to ease theirsymptoms. Nitrate isfound naturally in soil,where it is taken in byvegetables through theroots to help them grow.

The researchers saidthey were surprised byhow little nitrate wasneeded to see such a largeeffect. They said:

"Our hope is thatincreasing one's intake ofvegetables with a highdietary nitrate content,such as green leafyvegetables or beetroot,

might be a lifestyleapproach that one couldeasily employ to improvecardiovascular health. Aspokesman for the BritishHeart Foundation, whichfunded the research, said:"It supports current advicethat we should all beeating plenty of green veg.But we need larger studiesin patients to determine ifnitrate-rich vegetables areeffective at lowering bloodpressure over the longterm."

There is one drawback,the researchers said:"Drinking beetroot juicecan turn your urine pink."

Tone up - Shift weight - Shift flab

Robert Atkins died tenyears ago, but his famousdiet plan is still the sourceof unending controversy.Dr Robert Atkins hasinstilled one message intothe mind of the weight-conscious layman – "carbsmake you fat" – and adecade after his deathpeople are still attackingbread, pasta and potatoesas the root of all rotundity.Atkins said too manycarbs raised sugar levelsin the blood, whichprompted the release ofinsulin, a hormone whichincreases the body'scapacity for storing thatsugar in the tissues as fat.He advocated starving thebody of carbs so it wasforced to burn its fat storesto get energy – a processknown as ketosis. Instead,followers of his high-protein diet could eatunlimited meat, eggs,cheese, fish and shellfish.

Atkins's book wasamong the top 10 on TheNew York Times bestsellerlist for almost six years,selling in excess of 15mcopies worldwide. Therewas a flurry of low-carbproducts such as low-carbbeer and low-carb breads.In the US, sales of wheatand potatoes dropped,while meat consumptionrose. His critics werestrident. Negative

headlines claimed his dietdamaged the kidneys,could "put you in a badmood", or trigger diabetes.There were counterstudies to the studies.Atkins's advice wascontroversial because itwent against orthodoxnutritionists who wererecommending low-fat,high-carbohydrate diets.

Now, 10 years on, low-carb diets continue todivide. The NHS advice forhealthy eating is thatstarchy foods – such aspotatoes, cereals, pasta,rice and bread – shouldmake up around one thirdof the food people eat,while US dietary advicesplits a plate into fivefood groups – fruits,vegetables, grains,proteins and dairy.

Many nutritionistsagree that Atkins onlyworks in the short-term."People tend to have arapid response when itcomes to weight loss, butAtkins is also known tohave one of the greatestrebounds, so people pilethe pounds on when theycome off it," onenutritionist and dieticiansaid. Many feel uneasyabout a diet that, in thefirst stage at least, almostcompletely cuts out a foodgroup (intake is limited to

less than 20g a day), whileothers argue the stancesimply isn't practical inthe long run. Anotherpersistent criticism is thatlow-carb diets increase therisk of heart disease,although defenders arguethat science doesn'tsupport this.

The Atkins diet isn't theonly diet to have receivedmixed reviews.Ultimately, if there was adiet that really worked foreveryone, the dietingindustry wouldn't exist, letalone be a multibilliondollar one. A spokesmanfor the British DieteticAssociation said: "Like alldiets, when it comes toAtkins, there is some truthin the rumour – there issome underlying scientificevidence – but proofcutting out carbs is thebest way to lose weightjust isn't there." He saidmany people are lookingfor a magic bullet, butthere is no one size fits allsolution.

"Diets are fads, but it's

about making permanentchanges. Plus what youeat is only half theequation, the other half isphysical activity."

Meanwhile, dieticiansat Leeds MetropolitanUniversity have said theAtkins diet and other low-carb diets have also led tomisunderstandings amongthe general public: "Onehas to differentiatebetween simple andcomplex carbohydrates.Also, people tend to usecarbs when they meanwhite rice, pasta andbread, but fruit andvegetables are healthy,and they are absolutelycarbs, so sometimes theterminology isn'tappropriate in context."

Whether a diet hasscientific support or is justplain mumbo-jumbo, inthe long run people willendorse whatever keepsthem thin. And people willget their dietary tips fromother ordinary people asmuch as they ever do fromdoctors and nutritionists.

Teamed with the coat, theDuchess wore a coffee colouredhat with twist appliqué(something that we have seenher wear before) and L KBennet nude patent heeledcourt shoes and a matchingslimline clutch bag that are infashion at the moment showingonce again that she is not shyof being seen in the same outfittwice and that high streetbrands can be mixed withdesigner wear to great effect.

She wore her brunette hair inloose waves.

The coat, which retails foraround £1,750 won’t besnapped up by everyone but aspokesperson for Mulberry’ssaid that it had now sold outdue to the “Kate Effect”.

explanation when Nelson –the creation of comedianSimon Brodkin – did notappear on the official list ofcandidates on Friday but aspokeswoman has nowexplained: "As his TVshow, Lee Nelson's WellFunny People, is currentlybroadcast on BBC Three,this causes an unforeseenconflict with the BBC'scommitment toimpartiality.

83,000 South Shieldslegends, I'm totally guttedbut I have had to withdrawfrom standing as your MP.Thank you South Shieldsfor the 82,743 messages ofsupport. I will be back torun again and serve thiswell great country. In themeantime I'm going todrown my sorrows withNewkie Brown andpictures of Geordie Shoregirls. Spread the love UK."Earlier this month

Don’t blink though oryou’ll miss it as thiswill be the shortest

lunar eclipse this century.It will last for about 27minutes and only a tinyamount of the Moon will beeclipsed.

An eclipse of the Sunhappens when theMoon passes

between the Earth and theSun and covers the face ofSun. Whereas an eclipse ofthe Moon occurs when theSun, Earth and Moon areperfectly aligned with theEarth in the middle andthe full Moon passesthrough the Earth’sshadow.

Tomorrow’s eclipse will begin at21.54 (local Spanish time) andfinish at 22.21. If you look very

carefully you should be able to see asmall slice of the Earth’s shadow as itclips the very top part of the Moon. I’mafraid it won’t be very spectacular as theMoon will be very low down near thehorizon at the time.

Lunar eclipses visible from Spainare a bit thin on the ground for thenext few years as they all seem to

be occurring on the other side of theworld. The next time there will be atotal eclipse of the Moon visible fromSpain will be in 2029. There will be apartial eclipse of the Sun on November3rd this year and if you can wait longenough there will be a total eclipse ofthe Sun passing directly over the Costadel Sol on August 2nd 2027.

People tend to think of an eclipse asbeing a very rare event but theyare a lot more frequent than you

would think. During the 21st Centurythere will be 224 Solar eclipses and 230lunar eclipses with up to a maximum ofsix eclipses happening in the years2011, 2029, 2047, 2065, 2076, and 2094.The reason that they seem to be rare issimply that the path of totality during asolar eclipse is usually very narrowindeed, sometimes only a few mileswide. It is only along this narrow bandthat a total solar eclipse can be viewed.A few miles either side of this line andonly part of the Sun will be obscured.Often the eclipse passes over oceans anddoesn’t touch land at all, or it passesover a sparsely populated area. A totalsolar eclipse on March 20th 2015 willpass between Iceland and the ShetlandIslands off Northern Scotland – it thencarries on to the North Pole!

I’m hoping to go to Nashville USA onAugust 21st 2017 for a total solareclipse that will sweep right across

America from Oregon on the Pacificcoast to South Carolina on the Atlanticcoast. But as big as the United Statesare the last time there was a total solareclipse visible from the mainland wasback in 1979. The last time a total solareclipse was visible from the British Isleswas in August 1999.

Unlike a solar eclipse that is onlyvisible from a tiny portion of theEarth, an eclipse of the Moon can

be viewed by anyone who can see theMoon. During a total lunar eclipse theMoon doesn’t go completely dark,instead it tends to go a brick red incolour. This is because the Sun’s rayslight up our atmosphere and as seenfrom the surface of the Moon a ring ofred light surrounds the Earth whichthen shines onto the Moon.

The International Space Station

There will be a very good view of thegiant ISS tonight (24th April) as itflies over Southern Spain. Look

toward the Northwest horizon at 22.16and you will see it looking like a brightstar moving across the sky. As it getscloser to you and higher in the sky it willbecome steadily brighter until it will bethe brightest object in the sky apartfrom the Moon. At its closest point it willbe about 280 miles from you. Keepwatching as it heads toward theSoutheast and it will suddenlydisappear into the Earth’s shadows fiveminutes later at 22.21.

The ISS is as big as a football fieldand travels around the worldevery 90 minutes at 17,000 mph.

There are currently six astronauts onboard so be sure to give them a big waveas they go past.

Happy Stargazing!

StargazingBy Ken Campbell

Partial Lunar EclipseThere will be a partial eclipse of the Moontomorrow evening Thursday 25th April.

I saw the letter in TheNews last week fromMartin Abrahams aboutthe tragic loss of life causedby bombers at the BostonMarathon.However, I failed tounderstand where he wascoming from by painting allprisoners with the samebrush as the bombers.Surely it is better to try and

rehabilitate prisoners sothat, when they haveserved their sentence, theycan properly integrate backinto society by being able toget a job, pay their taxesand have a purpose in life.To say that we should bringback the noose is justridiculous and wouldsimply be turning the restof society into “legalised”

murderers making us asbad as them.Whilst I sympathise withthose who have lost lovedones to crime of any sort,killing the perpetrators ofsuch crimes is, to my mind,not the answer,counselling, re-educationand a sympathetic ear is.

The Boston bombings oflast week were a tragedy,and at such an occasion too.But now I hear on the newsthat others have beenarrested in Canada thathad been plotting an attackon the train line in Toronto.I have ridden the trains inthat fair city and it’s justmind-numbing to try andunderstand how anybody intheir right mind could eventhink of such a thing. Butthen, I suppose, there youhave it. These people seemto be infiltrating civilisedcountries all over the worldand are clearly not in theirright minds.But, what to do with them?In most cases they havelived a great part of theirlives in the very places theythink it’s perfectlyacceptable and right tobomb. They clearly thinkalso that it is good to maim

and kill their fellow citizens.Can you imagine the horrorof the bombers’ families,many of whom arepeaceable people who are ongood terms with neighboursand work colleagues, whenthey find out their son,brother, or cousin has beenplotting, or in fact as in thecase of Boston, has carriedout such crimes?I hear many people saying:“If they don’t like it here,send them back where theycame from” but some ofthem are already exactlywhere they were born andbrought up. Do you sendthem to prison for the rest oftheir lives, or do you, assuggested last week by onereader, sentence them todeath?I don’t have the answer butdo despair sometimes ofwhere the people of thisworld are going!

I read the letter fromBeverley Campbell in yourissue of the 17th April andtook her up on her advice.For anyone who didn’t readthe letter, she was sayingthat she had made newfriends and aquaintancesand gotten rid of anyboredom and loneliness shehad been suffering from bytaking on voluntary work.I too lost my husband lastyear and had no idea howto pick myself up again.Friends had virtually givenup on me I think, such asad, old person had Ibecome. So, I took heradvice and, last Friday Ispent my first day as avolunteer at one of themany charity shops alongthe coast.What a surprise I got. Thepeople who worked there

took me under their wingand showed me the ropesthen we all went out for acup of tea, or a glass of winefor some, afterwards.Already I feel like I“belong” to something newand exciting and thefriends I saw over theweekend said what adifference they noticed inme – chattering away withthem about my new foundinterest instead of justsitting in the corner feelingsorry for myself.So to re-iterate what MrsCampbell said last weekand to put my own spin onit a bit, if you’re feelingdown in the dumps, lonelyor depressed, don’t put upwith it. Get off your behind,get a volunteer job of anykind and find a whole newlife out there just waiting to

welcome you with openarms. I did, and what adifference it has madealready. Long may it last!

Editor says: It seems like it’sa week for getting replies toletters.Well done you on taking thebull by the horns andgetting yourself a job, evenif it is unpaid. Helpingothers is often a very goodway of helping ourselves getback into the swing ofthings following an illnessor death in the family andshould never be put downas “just voluntary work” asI heard one person refer toit. There are plenty ofincredibly good charitiesout there that are desperatefor help so, off you go ifyou’re bored or lonely, Valknows it works!

Vettel dominant inBahrain Grand PrixFormula One worldchampion Sebastian Vettelwon the Bahrain GrandPrix for the second year in arow for Red Bull to extendhis overall lead to 10 pointsafter four races.

The 25-year-old Germanbeat Lotus’s KimiRaikkonen by 9.1 secondsto chalk up his second win ofthe season and 28th of hiscareer. In a race withoutany major incidents, anduntroubled by the anti-government protests andcivil unrest elsewhere in thetiny Gulf kingdom. France’sRomain Grosjean finishedthird for Lotus to completethe same top three as lastyear. Britain's Paul DiResta equalled his career-best finish, after leading forthree laps, with a fine fourthplace for Force India afterlosing third to Grosjeanwith six laps to go.

There was adisappointing end forMercedes's Nico Rosberg,who started on pole positionbut finished ninth, and forFerrari's Fernando Alonso

who could have expected tobe on the podium but for amechanical failure. TheSpaniard, who is now fourthoverall with 47 points,finished eighth after havingto make an unscheduled pitstop on lap seven – a lapafter coming in for hisregular stop – with his rear-wing DRS system stuckopen.

Britain's Lewis Hamiltonmoved up to third in thestandings, on 50 points,after taking fifth place forMercedes in a thrilling

battle with Red Bull's MarkWebber over the closing lapsof the Australian's 200thrace.Mexican Sergio Perez

was sixth, after also passingWebber. But his McLarenteam mate Jenson Buttonwas less than happy withPerez after the Mexicanbanged wheels with theBriton at speeds in excess of300kph.Button urged the team to

'calm him down' but Perezcontinued to push withGrosjean looming in hismirrors.

This week lets look atheads up play.Playing Aggressively

Playing heads up pokeraggressively is thenumber one way to win.Inexperienced players getbulldozed by moreexperienced andaggressive players. It isalways important to makeyour opponents pay to seeevery flop. Don't let themlimp in on small blind. Ifyou let this happen, youwill be letting youropponent catch cards,which will make you losemore hands. Many headsup poker experts will saythat they hardly use theircards as a basis on whatplays they make. If youcan tell that youropponent is weak, youshould be able to takeadvantage of it.

Bluffing YourOpponents duringheads up play

Bluffing is much easierwhen playing poker headsup. You can trick youropponent into thinkingyou have a good hand, andthat his or her marginalhand is suddenly notworth playing. It is oftennecessary to read youropponent and know whatdraw they are on. If yoususpect them of havingtrips, and there is apossible flush showing onthe board, go ahead andtry to bluff them out.Usually they won’t callbecause they think youhave the flush. Just makesure to place the rightsized bet.

Remember thatbluffing is dangerous, andyou never know whenyour opponent is going tore-raise you all in andturn over the nuts. Ouch!

Calculating Outs andOdds in Heads UpPoker

Getting your headwrapped around theconcept of outs and odds iscrucial for any heads upTexas holdem player.When going for a hand,the outs are theremaining cards in thedeck that will completeyour hand. If you are onecard away from having aflush, meaning you havetwo (clubs) in your handand there are two (clubs)on the board, then youhave 9 outs. This iscalculated by taking thetotal number of clubs,which is 13, andsubtracting the number ofclubs showing, which is 4.But what does all of this

mean? Take a look at anyon line poker chart Itwill show that 9 outshas about 35% afterthe flop and 20%after the turn. Thisis about 3:1 and5:1 respectively.

Dismal Málagago down againManuel Pellegrini sent outan unchanged team at theMestilla in an importantgame for both teams.

As early as five minutesValencia had their first shot,a great ball found Valencia´sCaneles but his shot wentjust wide. It was a strongstart by Valencia and on 10mins Banega fired over fromthe edge of the box. Thefirst half was a scrappyaffair with Valencia just ontop and on 25 minutes theygot a lucky goal. Parejoreceived the ball whichcame via Demichelis´s backand slotted it home. Threeminutes later Sissoko rodetwo challenges to crossbrillantly for Soldado to slothome. A minute laterDemichelis clumsily fouledBanega in the box andSoldado duly converted thepenalty to make it 3-0.

Málaga imploded andfrom the re-start 11 secondslater, it was 4-0 as Canelesfired home from anothergood Valencia move. Fourdown after half an hour leftMálaga with a mountain toclimb, but on the stroke ofhalf time Bapista curled in

a brilliant free kick to giveMálaga a small amount ofhope going into the break.In the 52nd minute Soldadogot clear but this timeWelligton just managed toget the ball clear. Somedreadful defending minuteslater by Jesus Gamez let inBanega who hammered theball home and dashedMálaga´s hopes of gettinganything from the game.

Joaquin shot narrowlywide on 63 minutes. Hethen had a great chance on75 minutes and Alavesdeprived Sergio Sanchez aminute later as Málagapressed. Baptista shot widewith 12 minutes to go asMálaga looked to restore alittle pride. Málaga wereslightly better as the matchcame to an end but all in allit was a gutlessperformance, with morerumours this week ofunpaid staff at the club,which seemed to reflect inthe display.

Next game is at home onSunday at 5pm whereMálaga entertain Getafe.

Report by Scott Forbes

Valencia 5 - 1 Málaga

For those readers thatdidn’t know (I certainlydidn’t), the game of IceHockey is thriving here onthe Costa del Sol with thegames being played at theBenalmadena ice rink.The players are mainly

from Northern European

countries but there are acouple of Brits namely IanCooper (ex Cardiff) andJames (ex Bristol). Goal-poacher Cooper started outwith the Durham Waspswhen he was just 16, havingmoved up through theranks of Durham's famed

junior developmentsystem. Named thesport's 'Young Playerof the Year' in the late80’s secured him aprestigious place inthe Calgary Flamestraining camp in theNHL.
