Mila Kunis Born in the Ukraine, Milena Markovna Kunis showed talent from a young age and her parents could see that she would have a great career given the opportunities. Her mother and father were both successful in the Ukraine but when Mila was seven years old they made the choice to leave the USSR, as they saw no future for Mila and her brother. In 1991 they landed in Los Angeles with only $250 and within two days Mila was enrolled in school even though she didn’t speak a word of English. When thinking back to that time Mila has stated that she completely blocked out the first year because she cried every day; she didn’t understand the culture, she didn’t understand the language and she didn’t understand the people. Relating it to becoming blind and deaf suddenly at the age of seven, it took Mila a while to become accustomed to life in America.
At the age of nine, Mila’s father enrolled her in acting classes at the Beverly Hills Studio and it was here she met her manager Susan Curtis. She showed her acting prowess early on and at her first audition, she landed a role in a Barbie commercial. Following a few more commercial roles, she gained a part in the popular series Days of Our Lives and later that year she made two appearances in Baywatch. Other television roles ensued until she was cast in the movie Gia playing the younger version of Angelina Jolie’s title role. It was in 1998 that she was cast in the role that really made her career what it is today. Everyone auditioning for a role in That 70’s Show was required to be 18 but Mila, who was 14 at the time, told casting directors that she would be 18 soon but not exactly when. After casting her as Jackie Burkhart, they figured out that she was not as old as they thought but still felt she was the best actress for the role. The series ran for eight season and Kunis won awards for her role including Best Young Actress in a Comedy at the Young Star Awards. Around the same time Mila also won the role of Meg Griffin in the animated sitcom Family Guy after many auditions and also won Voice Acting awards for her performance as Meg. From her role in That 70’s Show, the industry began to sit up and take notice and soon the movie world beckoned. In 2001 she starred in Get Over It with Kirsten Dunst and Sisqo which was followed by American Psycho 2 with William Shatner, although, the film was panned by critics and Kulis later expressed embarrassment at making the film.
Three more poorly received films followed and it seemed that Mila’s career might have finished before it really got going, until producer Judd Apatow cast her in his 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall alongside Jason Segel, Kristen Bell and Russell Brand. The film was a commercial success and Kulis’s performance was well-received; she was described as a fresh beauty and focused energy as well as being ‘adept with her performance and understanding the concept of comic timing’. Mila has since credited Apatow with helping her take her career from television to movies and expanding her repertoire.
That 70’s Show
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Max Payne
In 2008 she was cast as Mona Sax, an assassin, in Max Payne alongside Mark Wahlberg and to prepare for the role she underwent training with guns, in martial arts and in boxing. Despite the film being successful at the box office, critics panned the film and in particular believed the role of Mona was miscast. However director John Moore defended his choice of using Kunis and said that she bowled them over and Mila was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for her role. Following the Max Payne film, Mila starred with some movie industry heavyweights including Ben Affleck and Jason Bateman in Extract and Denzel Washington in the well-

received The Book of Eli, in which she was described as being ‘ideally cast in the female role and that she generated a spark in the film’. In 2010 came the role that was to garner her many nominations for multiple awards and completely cement her status as a serious actress. Mila starred opposite Natalie Portman in Black Swan and to play the role she had to completely change her life for the duration of filming. Undergoing training daily that included cardiovascular exercise and ballet classes for four hours, combined with a 1,200 calorie a day diet ensured she lost the 20 pounds needed to play a ballerina. Training and filming took its toll on Mila’s body, as she suffered many injuries including a torn ligament and a dislocated shoulder. The film and indeed Mila’s performance received high praise from critics and from her peers who stated that she was the ‘perfect alternate to Portman’.
Friends with Benefits
Ted
After a string of serious films, it seemed the comedy side of Mila’s acting was calling and she starred alongside Justin Timberlake in the hilarious romantic comedy Friends with Benefits. Director Will Gluck has said that he did write the story with the two stars in mind and the film was praised for the chemistry between Kunis and Timberlake. Comedy is obviously in Mila’s blood as she continued to make popular comedic films, with her most commercially successful film to date, Ted, with Mark Wahlberg taking $549 million worldwide. This year Mila has many projects including Oz the Great and Powerful which was released in March as well as Blood Ties with Clive Owen, The Angriest Man In Brooklyn with Robin Williams, and the Paul Haggis-directed drama Third Person with Liam Neeson and James Franco. Kunis has also signed up to star with Channing Tatum next year in her first sci-fi film, Jupiter Ascending. 13

Aside from acting, Mila is also set to be an executive producer on a tv series for The CW network and has been featured in Esquire magazine in a segment with many other female stars that were photographed by singer Bryan Adams, in conjunction with Calvin Klein Collections, with proceeds donated to NYC AIDS foundation. Esquire is not the only magazine to feature Mila , she was also named GQ’s Knockout of the Year for 2011 and she has constantly been named in both Maxim, FHM and AskMen’s list of the Top 100 women in the world.
the world. Kulis dated child actor Macaulay Culkin from 2002 to 2011 but tried to keep their relationship out of the press as much as possible, refusing to talk about it in interviews. In July of 2011 a Sgt. Scott Moore of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, serving in Afghanistan posted a YouTube video asking Mila to be his date to the Marine Corps Ball in North Carolina – surprisingly Mila accepted and she was escorted by Sgt. Moore to the ball in November of that year.
She has also been the face of Christian Dior’s Spring 2012 campaign and Gemfields global ambassador.
It was in 2012 that rumours started surfacing that Mila was dating her That 70’s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher following the breakdown of his marriage to Demi Moore and Kutcher then confirmed the relationship in March 2013.
Mila’s acting and other work has not been the only thing to make her into a household name, her love life has seen her feature in many gossip columns around
It’s clear that Mila is an accomplished actor and has many starring roles already under her belt and with many more in production, she is sure to be around for a while.

Top ways to find out
SOMEONE’S CHEATING It’s not just lipstick on the collar that gives it away…
y run out of go the distance simpl to il fa at th ps hi ns also those Many relatio a whimper there are in d en at th e os th e wns steam, but alongsid spectacular showdo of e us ca y el lik t os . The m that end with a bang ered. infidelity being discov between partners is re are ileinsurance.co.uk, he ob m by ey rv su a to According t they’re being ways people find ou on m m co t os m t gh the ei cheated on.
41% Mobile phone
A massive 41% of those polled said a mobile phone exposed the infidelity in their relationship. This is not surprising. If your partner is unfaithful, there’s almost undoubtedly going to be evidence on their phone. This could be in the form of texts, call histories – or if you’re really unlucky – photos. Mobile phones are also easy for the suspicious-minded to get hold of.
23% Social media
It’s handy that Twitter and Facebook can remember your password – saving you typing it in. But such convenience also means these accounts can be easily accessed by others, including your partner. The poll revealed 23% of love-rats were exposed when flirty and sexual messages sent via social media were discovered. Facebook’s tagging feature also provides killer photographic evidence that someone’s been where they shouldn’t have.
through files on 13% Went PC/laptop/tablet
Finding files on a computer which proves you’re being cheated on is always going to be unpleasant. It’s possible that those files are archived messages, but files stashed away for safe-keeping are more likely to be saved emails, photos, or even videos. Some 13% of those polled said this was how cheaters were caught out. Don’t be fooled by folders with harmless seeming names – this is where you’ll find the dirt.
16
11% Caught in the act
This is the by far the most dramatic way an unfaithful partner is exposed. For the one cheated on it’s like being punched in the stomach by a big fist called betrayal. For the cheater, it’s the one situation you never wanted to happen – both your lovers in the same room at the same time. According to the survey, 11% of infidelity is revealed in this devastating fashion.
5%
Told by friend
3%
Told by family member
It can be a real dilemma: you know, or suspect, that your friend’s partner is doing the dirty behind their back. Do you tell them? Or do you spare their feelings by not getting involved? Real friends would let the wronged party know that their boyfriend or girlfriend is a wrongun. This is how 5% of cheaters were named and shamed, according to the survey.
You would expect more loyalty to the person being cheated from a family member than from a friend. However, the poll said only 3% of relationship infidelities were out-ed by a relative. This discrepancy is probably because your family are less likely to find out – as they’re outside your social group – rather than a reluctance to dish the dirt.
2%
Confession
2%
Other
It’s telling, and perhaps a bit depressing, that only 2% of cheating partners revealed their unfaithfulness themselves. Some do opt to spill the beans – either through guilt or because they’re challenged – but not many. It seems that once we start down the road of lies and deceit, it’s in for a penny in for a pound.
The poll said that the remaining 2% of infidelities were revealed by means known only as ‘other’. Inconsistency in lies, overhearing something in the background during a phone call, anonymous tip-offs in the form of letters or emails, hidden cameras, private detectives and good old-fashioned lipstick on the collar all fall into this category.

Man orders TV from Amazon.com and receives an Assault Rifle Receiving a large package in the post is usually pretty exciting, especially if you expect it to hold that new flat-screen TV you ordered online.
20
That’s what Seth Horvitz from Washington was expected when he found a box waiting for him outside his apartment. But the long, narrow package couldn’t possibly contain the 39-inch television he’d ordered from an independent seller on Amazon. Maybe it was a TV stand or some other accessory, he thought. So he opened the box, only to find an Army-style assault rifle.
After briefly contemplating himself holding the Sig Sauer SIG716 semiautomatic assault rifle now in his possession, Horvitz contacted the police. Authorities deemed the weapon an illegally-shipped firearm and quickly confiscated it. Apparently the error seemed to have resulted from a labelling mix-up within the UPS system. The box was addressed to Horvitz, but the invoice he found inside indicated that the rifle was meant to go to a gun shop in Pennsylvania. The thirdparty Amazon seller refunded his money and has also filed a claim with UPS.
The Price of a Baby
Thinking of having children? Does the picture of a little one conjure up thoughts of smiles, laughter and general happiness? Think again. Children are becoming unaffordable luxuries to the majority of the working class, so findings have shown. Babies are pricey little things. In fact, raising one to adulthood will set you back a whopping £218,000 according to a 2012 survey. That’s a massive £10,400 a year – which means you’re essentially renting a tiny human for £28.44 a day. With the average wage being just over £26,000 a year, and house prices, food costs, etc becoming more and more expensive, children are becoming a luxury that most can’t afford. Not only are babies expensive – they’re set to get even more so. With the change in the structure of university fees and benefits in the UK, that little bundle of joy who seemed like such a good idea after a few glasses of wine could cost you another £50k+ on top of that. Raising children is arguably one of the most important things we can do as a society (if we didn’t, the world would surely be taken over by ants), but how much are we willing to give up to do so. Think of ending those trips out shopping, eating and drinking out and simply spending carelessly from our wage packages. Could you bare the expense?

Passenger jet nearly strikes UFO over Scotland Last month in Glasgow, Scotland, British aviation authorities confirmed a jet carrying about 200 passengers nearly collided with a UFO above Scotland in December of last year. The British Airprox Board, which is run by the Civil Aviation Authority and the Ministry of Defense to investigate such close calls in the sky, said the Airbus A320 was about 11 miles east of Glasgow Airport when the pilot told air traffic control the plane “just had something pass underneath us quite close,”. The board said the object spotted by the pilot and co-pilot did not set off the traffic collision avoidance systems and was not picked up by radar at Glasgow Airport, but it was spotted 28 seconds before the December incident by radar at nearly Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The Airprox board said the object could not have been another plane, a balloon or a helicopter. It said the object was also unlikely to be a glider, hang glider or para-motor. An investigation is still on going.
Suitcase in charity shop found to contain £32,000 A customer who was about to buy a suitcase in a charity shop in Australia, discovered £32,000 stuffed in a compartment. Police then investigated the origins of the suitcase back to its elderly owner. Apparently the suitcase was sent to the charity shop by accident when she moved house. Police said she might have to wait 2 months to receive the suitcase and the money.

KFC Smuggled into Gaza Fast food chain KFC is not present in the Gaza Strip, so demand for it is high. So high in fact that it is now being smuggled through underground tunnels from Egypt. The only difference is that it costs £18 for a £7.50 meal and the food is far from fast and can take up to 4 hours. Student Abou Fares from the Gaza strip said: “It’s delicious, even if it’s cold.”

Here are just some pieces of current trends for this summer... Denim shorts are the perfect piece to accompany any style of top. Nothing says summer quite like a pair of jean shorts. Ever since Daisy Duke debuted her now eponymous form-fitting cut-offs, denim shorts have been an indispensable staple; it’s no wonder these blue jean denim shorts keep popping up. For a casually dressed-down, yet still incredibly sexy look, denim shorts and loose blouse or shirt couldn’t be more on trend. For a night out, choose the classic black and white trend that can be spotted on the catwalks and in stores at the moment and you can’t go wrong. The very feminine pastel or pale colour dresses are also a head turner for those who like the more girly yet soft summery look. Paired with a great pair of heels for a dressy look or flats for daywear this item is a must for every girls wardrobe this summer.
Treat Your Hair With the effects of colour treatments, styling, heat, sun, and more, shampoo is often not enough for the best hair care: a deep conditioning treatment is needed to properly treat hair and keep it healthy and beautiful.
All hair needs conditioning, however, it is difficult to determine which conditioning treatment is right for your specific hair type, and using a product you don’t need will result in heavy, lifeless hair as the extra chemicals accumulate. That’s why it’s always best to get to a salon and leave it to the professionals.
These are certain hair types that need regular conditioning: • Coloured hair, including highlighted or dyed hair.
• Straightened hair, particularly if chemicals or heat irons are used. • Heavily styled hair that frequently uses gels, sprays, or other chemical products. • Hair that uses accessories such as clips, ponytail holders, or other items that may break strands. • Hair that is excessively dry due to the use of chemicals or exposure to the sun. • Naturally unmanageable hair such as curly locks or brittle hair with multiple split ends or other damage.
Crú @ Nueva Andalucía
Ladies & Gents Hairdressers • Crú’s stylists all have a minimum of ten years experience working in leading international salons before moving to Crú. • Crú offer a full range of expert hairdressing services, all of which include a full consultation, conditioners, finishing and styling products and refreshments.
By regularly indulging in a deep conditioning treatment, you not only repair incidental damage but also protect your hair from unintentional abuse. Conditioning treatments bring out the full shine and manageability of healthy hair and are particularly valuable for heavily treated hair. With proper use, you can achieve gorgeous locks no matter what contortions your hair must go through to find the perfect style.

LÍNEA DIRECTA REACHES 2 MILLION CUSTOMERS AND BEATS ITS PROFITS RECORD In clearly difficult economic times, with the insurance sector decreasing for the fourth consecutive year, Línea Directa Aseguradora has closed 2012 with the highest profit levels in its history: 121.5 million euros before tax, representing an increase of 13% on the previous year. There have been three main reasons for this: the sharp rise in the number of customers, effective underwriting risk management and the improvement of all the company’s processes and services, which have enabled it to reduce expenses without diminishing the scope of the cover offered. As a result, the total number of policies, which since last February has exceeded two million, rose by over 105,000 last year, mainly thanks to the Home Insurance Area, which in the 5 years since it was launched, now has over 230,000 policies without having resorted to mergers or acquisitions.
The International Area, a strategic business Línea Directa offers its foreign policyholders living in Spain all its services in English and German. As a result, purchasing the policy, making enquiries, dealing with accidents, sending documentation and 24-hour road assistance can all be carried out both in English and German, at a time which suits the policyholder and with only one phone call. In addition, Línea Directa’s International Area offers its policyholders a translation service which they can use for dealing with repairers. The International Area is a key strategic factor for Línea Directa, through which the company offers its foreign customers totally exclusive services, discounts and offers.

Mila Kunis Sexiest Woman in the World
Helen Flanagan Voted Sexiest Woman in the UK
Mila Kunis has beaten Michelle Keegan, Kelly Brook and Cheryl Cole to be named FHM’s sexiest woman in the world.
Anyone who watched Helen Flanagan flounce around the jungle in that grossly undersized white bikini will be completely unsurprised to hear that she’s been voted the UK’s most sexiest woman in FHM’s annual “The 100 sexiest women in the world” list.
With last year’s winner Tulisa Contostavlos falling down to 11th position, Mila also rubs shoulders with Rihanna and Kate Upton in this year’s top 10. The Friends With Benefits actress’ position has vastly improved since last year, in which she finished at number 9. No doubt thanks to her new romance with Hollywood hunk Ashton Kutcher, as well as a string of films she’s starred in.
Miley Cyrus is Voted Maxim’s Hottest Woman
FHM readers however favoured the looks of Mila Kunis and Rihanna who both first and second respectively in the poll just ahead of Helen. Mind you, the Corrie star’s placement in the list shouldn’t be sneered at easily; she beat Cheryl Cole and Kelly Brook to get there as well as former number one Tulisa.
While Mila Kunis recently topped FHM’s hottest woman in the world poll, over at Maxim magazine, Miley Cyrus has been named as their sexiest female celeb in the annual “Hot 100” list. The grungy looking 21-year-old beat the likes of Selena Gomez and Rihanna to win the hearts of their readers and in a statement she said she couldn’t be happier about it: “If feels amazing to be the No. 1. It’s every woman’s fantasy to be told she’s No. 1 on Maxim’s Hot 100! So crazy!”
Sexiest Female from British Soap Awards Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan was crowned the Sexiest Female for the fifth time in a row at last month’s British Soap Awards. The 25-year-old, who plays Tina McIntyre on the soap, was joined at the event by her boyfriend Mark Wright who was no doubt delighted his girlfriend received the accolade. And despite winning the award four times before, Michelle, who certainly looked very sexy on the night, insisted that she was in shock. 30
Kerry Katona advert banned from TV A payday loan advert fronted by Kerry Katona has been banned from TV screens. 29 complaints were lodged with the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) about the promo for Cash Lady, which has been deemed as “irresponsible.” In the ad Kerry plays up to her own real-life notorious money woes, saying: “We’ve all had money troubles. I know I have.” “You could see your bank and fill in loads of forms, but there is an easier way to get a loan…” at which point the company’s website is shown. The company behind Cash Lady have denied that their advert encourages people to get into similar financial difficulties as Kerry and have disputed claims that the ad makes reference to her bankruptcy. In a statement they added that their loans are limited to £300 only and are therefore aimed at people experiencing only minor financial difficulties, however the ASA have disagreed and said that wasn’t made clear enough in their advert.
Beyonce pregnant with baby no.2 The singer Beyoncé is reportedly pregnant, claims a U.S. newspaper. Pictures of the singer on stage in London appear to show the 31-year-old with an uncharacteristically rounded tummy.
Justin Beiber attacked by crazed fan in Dubai Pint sized singer Justin Bieber got a terrifying shock last night when a crazed fan made a bid to grab him as he was performing in Dubai. The crowd-goer climbed on to the stage and ran toward Justin while he was playing the piano and singing.
And another report claims the singer’s much derided Met Gala look was designed to conceal her growing pregnancy figure.
Luckily a fast-moving member of the star’s security team grabbed the fan before he’d reached Justin but in the process of the manic pursuit, the singer’s piano was sent tumbling over.
The ‘Grown Woman’ singer - who welcomed her first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, into the world in January 2012 - is said to be expecting again with her rapper husband Jay-Z.
The ‘Poor’ Kardashians The Kardashian siblings have just lost a legal battle where they were fighting to save the name of their beauty line Khroma.
Bieber’s guitarist confirmed that the incident had not been a stunt, saying: “It wasn’t a prank. Someone ran on stage during Believe and the piano got knocked off its platform. Everyone is fine. No need to worry!”
Now the poor (and with them being gazillionaires we use the term loosely) girls will have to refer to their products as Kardashian Beauty. If not the reality stars would have had to cough up $10 million for stealing the name of another brand called Kroma Makeup which is actually spelt differently, but oh well. Due to be unleashed on 5,000 retailers across the US, the ladies (well their skivvies) will have to repackage everything. 31

Lucy Meck meets Rita Ora Secretly ‘dating with Hollywood producer over Calvin Harris’ film part
According to Reports, Lucy Mecklenburgh got more than just a tan from her recent trip to Cannes; she apparently caught the eye of a famous Hollywood producer while there and is now in the running to star in a film. The TOWIE star was in the French Rivera to take part in a photoshoot, however managed to attract the attention of director Will Holman who’s currently casting for his horror film. He invited Lucy to a formal meeting at a fancy Cannes hotel and now wants to fly her to LA to do an audition on camera. A source close to her revealed: Singer Rita Ora is dating music producer Calvin Harris, it has been claimed. The Sun alleges that the singer and the hunky (he really is quite hunky isn’t he?) Scottish DJ have ‘grown close’ in recent weeks and that Rita even accompanied Calvin on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Some source tells them: “They are having a great time and are really into each other.” They added: “It’s early days, but they’re keen on each other.” Let’s just hope their romance ends better than Rita’s one did with Rob Kardashian; if you recall their relationship met a grisly end when they slandered each other on Twitter.
“She is keeping tight-lipped about it but apparently the director loves her look and thinks she is the perfect female for an important character in his film.
Melanie Sykes marries toyboy TV presenter and model Melanie Sykes has married her toyboy lover in Dorset. Their relationship began on Twitter - raising eyebrows from those who thought it might not last. But Ms Sykes and her roofer boyfriend Jack Cockings looked blissfully happy as they celebrated their union on Saturday. The 42-year-old TV presenter and her 27-year-old groom shared a passionate kiss in the company of friends and relatives after a decadent marriage ceremony.
Kate Moss Face of St.Tropez Kate Moss has been unveiled as the new face of St. Tropez bronzing lotion and she’s taken part in a stunning nude photoshoot to promote the product. What’s more the brand have also released a behind-the-scenes video with Kate, complete with an interview, to prove that the supermodel is just as stunning naturally as she is photoshopped for the advert. 33

Jaguar F-Type V8 S The new Jaguar F-Type represents a return to the company’s heart: a two-seat, convertible sports car focused on performance, agility and driver involvement. The F-Type is a continuation of a sporting bloodline that stretches back more than 75 years and encompasses some of the most beautiful, thrilling and desirable sports cars ever built. Joining the XK convertible and coupe models, the new F-Type provides Jaguar with a broader line of sports and GT models. The 2014 Jaguar F-Type combines low vehicle weight (starting at 3,521 pounds), high power (340hp, 380hp and 495hp versions) and superb aerodynamics to achieve a pure sports car experience, yet with Jaguar elegance and luxury. A true two-seat sports car, the all-new Jaguar F-Type is equipped with a modern, lightweight soft top that, when lowered, serves as its own tonneau cover. This not only provides a weight savings, but also improves packaging and contributes to the car’s low centre of gravity for greater agility. The top can be fully raised or lowered in just 12 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. Its multi-layer construction includes a Thinsulate® lining for optimal thermal and soundinsulating properties.
Exterior design Jaguar cars have always defined sinuous, muscular elegance, and the F-Type continues - and advances - this tradition with new, assertive design language. Two “heartlines” define, in just two bold strokes, both the profile and top-down view of the Jaguar F-Type. The main “heartline” theme begins in the blade dissecting the shark-like gills on either side of the grille. This first heartline runs up and forms the sharp top crease of the fender line, which provides sight lines that aid the driver in cornering manoeuvres. It leads the eye along the top of the front fender, which is emphasized by the headlamp design, and then into the door and toward the rear of the car where it gracefully disappears. This sweeping line is mirrored by the feature line that runs back from the side vent. Along with “lightcatcher” surface detailing above the sill, the line instils a sense of speed to the car. The lightcatcher surface detailing also allows the door surface to wrap around the side of the car, creating a fuselage effect. The second “heartline” swells out to form the muscular rear haunch before sweeping dramatically around the rear of the car. The clean, sleek lines of the tail are made possible in part by the inclusion of an active rear spoiler that deploys at speed to reduce aerodynamic lift. The spoiler rises when the F-Type reaches 60 mph and then lowers to fit flush when the speed drops below 40 mph. Further discreet aerodynamic aids include a front splitter and a sculpted rear valance. The hidden, automatically deploying door handles support the design purity. The handles remain flush with the door panel until activated by either unlocking the car with the key fob or touching a touch-sensitive area of the handle. Their automatic deployment provides a mechanical “handshake,” inviting the driver and passenger to enter. Once the car is moving, the handles retract to leave an uninterrupted aerodynamic surface.

Full LED rear lamps create a new Jaguar sports car signature by reinterpreting classic cues from the past. By wrapping the lights around to the trailing edge of the rear wheel arch, the car’s powerful rear-wheel drive stance is emphasized. Reflecting the way the front grille leans forward, the tail tucks inward, reinforcing the impression that the car is poised to leap forward.
Difference through the range Differing exhaust and tailpipe designs distinguish the V6 and V8 variants of the F-Type. The V6 models feature twin centre outlets in a nod to the classic Jaguar E-Type introduced in 1961. The boldest exhaust finishers ever fitted to a Jaguar, these are stamped from a single piece of stainless steel, creating an unbroken gleaming surface. The V8 S model exclusively features four outboard-mounted exhaust outlets, with twin outlets on each side. Further detail differentiation between the three variants is found in the exterior trim. The Jaguar F-Type V6 model is marked by satin black trim elements in the grilles, vents, front splitter and rear valance, while the two ‘S’ models receive gloss-black finishes in these areas. The V6 model features standard 18-inch alloy wheels, with 19-inch and 20-inch wheels standard for the S and V8 S, respectively, and available as options for the V6. The V8 S also receives additional aerodynamic features, including front vanes beneath the shark gills and flat side sill extensions to manage airflow.
Driver environment The F-Type asymmetric cabin layout reflects the sharp focus on the driver. The aim was to create an enveloping cockpit for the driver with all the controls placed naturally to hand and logically grouped, allowing maximum attention on the driving experience.
39
The F-Type also has such features as: • Active Exhaust System • Eight-speed ‘Quickshift’ Automatic Transmission • Dynamic Launch Mode • Limited-Slip Differentials • More powerful braking systems • Aluminium Structure Jaguar are creating a new generation of sports cars so it has to be credible from both a performance and design point of view. It has to deliver, it has to be a great handling car with a stiff, rigid platform underpinning and it has to look every inch an icon. There greatest satisfaction was delivering a structure that underpinned the desired performance attributes - ride, handling and agility - by increasing stiffness and at the same time reducing weight.
Performance The F-Type showcases the new supercharged Jaguar engines, a 3-litre supercharged V6 in 340hp and 380hp and the 5-litre supercharged V8 in the Jaguar F-Type V8 S with 495hp and 460 ft-lbs of torque. All are equipped with the new Intelligent Stop/Start system to enhance fuel economy under certain driving conditions. The 340hp version of the supercharged V6, which debuted in the 2013 XJ and XF sedans, produces 332 ft-lbs of torque at 3,500-5,500 rpm. The 380hp version, exclusive to the F-Type, produces 339 ft-lbs of torque at 3,500-5,500 rpm. The V8 produces an even broader torque curve, with 460 ft-lbs produced over the 2,500-5,500 rpm range. The 340hp V6 model can accelerate from zero-to-60 mph in 5.1 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds). The 380hp S model lowers that to 4.8 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds), and the V8 S can hit 60 mph from rest in just 4.2 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds). Electronically limited maximum track speeds are 161 mph (260 km/h), 171 mph (275 km/h) and 186 mph (300 km/h), respectively, for the V6, V6 S and V8 S models. In addition to rapid zero-to-60 acceleration, the new Jaguar supercharged engines give the F-Type outstanding merging and passing performance. The 340hp V6 model will go from 50 to 75 mph in just 3.3 seconds; the 380hp S version in 3.1 and the V8 S model in 2.5 seconds.
40
Conclusion The aluminium structure of the F-Type ensures the best possible connection for the driver to the road. Every response from the steering to the transmission shifting, throttle, brakes and suspension has been finely honed to be as connected, accurate and involving as possible. Fundamentally, a great sports car is one you’ll look forward to driving because it’s fun, and the F-Type definitely delivers on that score. We’ve worked hard to make sure that responses to steering, throttle and brakes are absolutely immediate, a task made far easier by the rigid aluminium structure at the car’s base. It’s precise and exciting, a car that you’ll want to drive for the sake of driving alone - and it sounds fantastic.

Which Body Type
Are You? People come in all shapes, but most can be placed into a particular category of body type; mesomorph, ectomorph, or endomorph. These body types have different characteristics, and you should tailor your workout to whichever you belong. Here’s the difference in body types:
Mesomorph A mesomorph (or meso, for short) can be defined in one word: muscular. If you’re a meso, your body type is usually the envy of all gym rats because you can increase your muscle size quickly and easily. The well-developed, rectangular shapes of mesomorphs are representative of their thick bones and muscles. If you are a characteristic mesomorph you tend to find: u Y ou have a well-defined chest and shoulders that are both larger and broader than your waistline. our abdomen is taut and your hips are generally u Y the same width as your shoulders. our buttocks, thighs, and calves are all toned u Y and defined. ou crave physical activity and make a great u Y athlete as you excel in all sports that require strength, power and short bursts of energy ou tend to be aggressive athletically u Y ou store fat evenly over your body u Y
48
Ectomorph An ectomorph body type (or ecto, for short) is slim. A perfect example of an ecto is a fashion model. An ectomorph is relatively linear in shape with a delicate build, narrow hips and pelvis, and long arms and legs. If you are a characteristic ecto you tend to find that: u Y our muscle and bone outlines are usually visible (especially if you are an extremely thin ecto), and you normally have less fat and muscle mass than people with other body types. our primary concern as an ectomorph is your frail stature consisting of small u Y bones and joints that have a tendency to be injured easily during sporting activities. our body type is naturally suited to perform wonderfully in endurance training u Y and you excel at cardiovascular training. ou find balance in your workouts when you do both aerobic and muscle training. u Y
Endomorph An endomorph body type (or endo, for short) is curvy. The soft, flowing curves of an endo are similar to that of an hourglass in more ways than one. And wouldn’t you know it; the sands of an hourglass tend to settle in its bottom half just like the fat in the body. Comparatively, if you’re an endomorph, your body fat may have a tendency to settle into the lower regions of your body, predominantly the lower abdomen, hips, and thighs, rather than being distributed evenly throughout your body. If you are a characteristic endo you tend to find that: u Y our body typically has the capacity for high fat storage, and unfortunately puts fat on pretty easily. ou are more inclined to become obese. u Y he majority of your body weight is either centred in the middle of your body or in u T your hip and buttocks regions. metaphor frequently used to describe an endomorph body type is pear-shaped. u A A pear resembles a body that has more weight in the lower region, like the hips and thighs, than the upper portion of the body. ou have small to medium bones, limbs that are shorter in relation to your trunk, and u Y musculature that is not well defined. Voluptuous and sensual are the descriptions given to many endomorph females whose soft body contours and deep curves create an allure like that of Marilyn Monroe. A male endomorph (known as an android) tends to have a different fat distribution pattern from a female endomorph (known as a gynoid). Female endos usually collect fat in their butts, legs, and hips, while most males collect fat in their abdomen (the “spare tire” or “love handle” look). Remember not everyone has to fall under one specific body type. It is possible to have more traits from one and some features from another, but generally we can place ourselves in one category if we possess the majority of those traits. 49

Beach Training
.
Check out more beach exercises in next month’s issue!
Summer is here and what better way to enjoy it than to spend it on the beach. The beach is the ultimate training environment as the sand provides a natural resistance and reduces impact throughout the body, and the sea water also allows for a full-body workout and gives variety to your training to keep you from getting bored. This Summer, each month we will be bringing you different exercises that you can do at the beach. Spending more time outdoors has so many health benefits too so getting fit this summer will not only get you that amazing physique, but you will also benefit from the fresh air which will help boost your mood and combat lethargy throughout the day.
.
Keeping this in mind, what are the best exercises to perform down at the beach? For beginners or those wanting to add variety to their daily gym training, here are 3 exercises to start with.
Soft sand running
Soft sand running is the original and still the best beach exercise. Studies have shown that running in soft sand expends 1.5 times the energy as running on the road does. Another study done In Queensland, Australia showed that soft sand running increased “collision time”, which is the time during which the foot sinks into the sand. This also helps to reduce impact throughout the ankles, knees and hips. You will actually burn more calories interval training on the beach, as the break up periods of soft sand running at a slower pace with faster pace running on the hard sand will increase the intensity better aiding in stripping that fat.
.
Ins-and-outs
Most sporting teams’ pre-season workouts consist of what is known as ins and outs.
This involves running into the sea to waist height, running across the sea for a distance, then back out and up the hard and soft sand in a loop. The added resistance of the water will really build strength and power in the lower body. If you are already quite fit, to work harder you can increase the intensity by adding resistance through the upper body such as a weighted vest or sandbags, or include plyometric moves for the lower body such as high knees, bounds and skips.
.
Hops and bounds
Double leg bounds (or long jumps) and single leg hops are great beach exercises, as they help to improve lower body strength and power. Depending on the degree of difficulty you want, that can be achieved by doing the exercises on either hard or soft sand. A word of warning though, be careful with this exercise if you suffer from ankle or knee instability issues. 51
The abnormal
breast cancer gene Unfortunately, Angelina Jolie seems to be the latest celebrity to have to undergo a double mastectomy after testing positive for the faulty BRCA1 gene. Almost instantly, the 37-year-old Oscar winner and humanitarian put a famous face on a sensitive procedure that many other women have elected to have, some of them celebrities.
52
About 5% to 10% of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, caused by abnormal genes passed from parent to child.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
Think of your genes as an instruction manual for cell growth and function. Abnormalities in the DNA are like typographical errors. They may provide the wrong set of instructions, leading to faulty cell growth or function. In any one person, if there is an error in a gene, that same mistake will appear in all the cells that contain the same gene. This is like having an instruction manual in which all the copies have the same typographical error.
Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer and have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene often have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other cancers. Still, most people who develop breast cancer did not inherit an abnormal breast cancer gene and have no family history of the disease.
Abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes may account for up to 10% of all breast cancers, or 1 out of every 10 cases. Most inherited cases of breast cancer are associated with two abnormal genes: BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene one) and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene two). Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The function of the BRCA genes is to repair cell damage and keep breast cells growing normally. But when these genes contain abnormalities or mutations that are passed from generation to generation, the genes don’t function normally and breast cancer risk increases.
You are substantially more likely to have an abnormal breast cancer gene if: • You have blood relatives (grandmothers, mother, sisters, aunts) on either your mother’s or father’s side of the family who had breast cancer diagnosed before age 50. • There is both breast and ovarian cancer in your family, particularly in a single individual. • There are other glandrelated cancers in your family such as pancreatic, colon, and thyroid cancers. • Women in your family have had cancer in both breasts. • You are of Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern European) heritage. • You are African American and have been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35 or younger. • A man in your family has had breast cancer.
If a family member has an abnormal breast cancer gene, it does not mean that all family members will have it. Women who have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene (or both) can have up to an 80% risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetimes. Breast cancers associated with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene tend to develop in younger women and occur more often in both breasts than cancers in women without these abnormal genes. Women with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene also have an increased risk of developing ovarian, colon, pancreatic, and thyroid cancers, as well as melanoma.
Genetic testing There are genetic tests available to determine if someone has an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. The likelihood of having abnormal genes can be determined from your personal or family history to help evaluate if these tests are needed.

Christina Applegate opted to have a double mastectomy after cancer was detected in one of her breasts in 2008. Her mother had multiple occurrences of breast cancer, and Christina made the decision to remove both of her breasts so she’d be less likely to suffer the same fate.

Regular Dental Check-ups can save you money! No one likes going to the dentist. However, regular dental check-ups are important for maintaining good oral and dental hygiene and health. But if that’s not exactly tempting, did you know that regular check-ups can actually help you save money over the long run! This is because small problems are more easily and cheaply taken care of if caught early. A dentist can simply and painlessly examine your teeth and find out if they require cleaning, cavity filling, and/or other preventative or corrective measures. By performing such routine examinations, many larger future dental problems are prevented. For example, by having a small tooth cavity filled today, you potentially prevent tooth loss or a painful root canal in the future which could amount to hundreds of euros.

Additionally, regular dental checkups can even save your life! Regular dental check-ups do more than preserve your smile – they can also save your life. Each year, around 300,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed worldwide. While oral cancer is curable when found and treated in its early stages, the disease symptoms often go unnoticed. Small bumps, spots, or ulcers on the inside of your cheeks, lips, or throat are a common indicator of early oral cancer. However, because these manifestations are often painless and hidden away, you may not even know you have a problem. During a check up your dentist will check for these early warning symptoms and alert you should any sign of cancer be found. You should schedule regular dental check-ups once every six months. If you want to preserve healthy teeth and gums, as well as a healthy mouth, regular dental check-ups are absolutely necessary.

Foods t

e l c an t a h

Everyone wants clean, healthy, and great looking skin. Although moisturisers are great, as are certain facial products you can use at home, and different makeup products you can purchase, there are also several foods that will help clear your skin, and give you that young, glowing look you are in search of. With several different ingredients, healthy oils, and essential nutrients, the foods below will give you that young, healthy glow, and the all natural skin appearance we are all looking for.
Avocados
Not only are they used in many facial products, but the skin as well as the fruit of the avocado are exceptionally high in Vitamin B. Niacin (b-3), is very important to smooth, healthy skin, and can help with the appearance of irritated, red, or puffy skin.
Berries
Vitamin C is another essential for healthy skin, and berries have it. From strawberries to blackberries, the vitamins will work to help build collagen fibres, and provide younger looking skin. Antioxidants are also very high in the berries you consume, and these are essential to helping with inflammation.
Almonds (nuts)
Fatty acids found in these foods help maintain the cell membrane, and help remove harmful toxins from the body. They also help retain water, which gives the skin the plump, healthy look you want. 56
Cottage Cheese
Selenium and Vitamin E which are found in this food, help fight free radicals, as well as provide higher antioxidant counts for healthier looking skin. Certain reports also claim that cottage cheese can help prevent certain types of cancers, if eaten as part of a healthy diet plan.
Potatoes
A baked potato can provide a high amount of copper the body needs, for a healthy glow. The high zinc and Vitamin C count also aid in creating more elastin in the skin, providing young, healthy, and vibrant looking skin, at all times of the day.
Healthy whole grains
Although grains that are low on the glycemic index cause a spike in blood sugars, whole grains are on the high end of the spectrum, meaning they are also going to help in keeping the young looking, healthy appearance you want, when you are considering skin care, and the best looking skin possible.

Flax seed
Yoghurt
High in protein, yogurt is going to help create firmer, more elastic looking skin. Greek yogurt is even more beneficial, as it contains more than two times the amount of protein, and is higher in fibre, than regular blends of yoghurt that you would consume

If you do not love fish, or other foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, flax seed oil is the perfect solution for you. The high omega-3 count is going to help with hydrating the body, diluting sebum levels, unclogging pores, and helping prevent and fight acne. The healthy oils found in this flax seed oil, will give the skin the natural glow, and will provide you with the health benefits you need, for young, healthy skin.

With green, yellow, orange, and red, not only are peppers fun and colourful on your plate, they can also help with the crow’s feet you experience below your eyes. Carotenoids (antioxidants in these peppers) help with wrinkle prevention, and they can also help to reduce wrinkles, for younger, and for fine and healthy looking skin, if eaten on a regular basis.
Mango
Not only is it a delicious fruit, it can also help with the overall look and health of your skin. Mango contains more than 80% of the Vitamin A you need to consume during the course of the day, and it can help maintain the skin, and overall appearance of it. The high levels of antioxidants also help fight off free radicals, meaning you are not going to notice premature, or aging skin, at a younger age than you would hope to.
Of course there are several other foods that you can include in the diet, that are going to help with the appearance of the skin, as well as with your overall health. From fish such as salmon, that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, to walnuts, that have the oil that will help soften the skin, there are several foods that you can choose from, for better, younger looking skin. 57

Nutritionists point to its abundance of antioxidants and oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that protects the heart. But new research suggests that some of the benefits of olive oil might be contained in its aroma. The research found that compared to other oils and fats, extra virgin olive oil was more likely to increase a person’s feelings of satiety after a meal. But another phase of the study showed that just imparting the scent of olive oil to food – by adding an aromatic extract – reduced the amount of calories people in the study consumed and improved their blood sugar response. Smell and taste, it is well known, are two senses that are strongly tied together. Previous research has shown that manipulating the aroma of certain foods can influence the amount of them that people choose to eat. Intensifying the smell and flavour of a dessert, for example, can prompt people to take smaller bites.

Who is Visalus Sciences? Visalus Sciences is a company that distributes a line of meal replacement shakes and natural health supplements through a network marketing platform. The network marketing system, when executed properly, can be an excellent pipeline for marketing and distributing products while giving millions of “regular” people the opportunity to generate an income at home. The network marketing system is not a scam, it’s a streamlined distribution platform. Instead of distributing it’s products through the traditional pipeline of factory-to-distributor-to-wholesalerto-retailer and paying for a full blown advertising program, network marketing companies distribute their products through it’s customers and paying the traditional business expenses and overhead to it’s promoters. I hope this simplifies the concept! Ever heard of Mary Kay, Herbalife or Amway? Visalus is built on the same business model. Is Visalus Sciences a scam? Is Visalus a pyramid thing or a pyramid scheme? Well let’s look at that. Mary Kay has annual sales exceeding 2.5 billion per year internationally. Herbalife generated 3.5 billion in sales for 2011 internationally. Amway leads the charge with an astounding 10.9 billion is sale for 2011 internationally. I have only one question for you, do the revenues of these companies sound like pyramids or scams? With almost 17 billion in sales for only three network marketing companies, imagine how many millionaires have been generated. Visalus Sciences is the fastest growing home based business in the U.S. growing from 34 million in annual sales in 2010 to 234 million in annual sales in 2011. That’s a 585% increase in one year! Please keep in mind that these sales figures are only for North America! Visalus Sciences will exceed 1 billion in sales in North America in 2012, making it the ONLY network marketing company to accomplish this with their only sales coming from North America! Visalus has yet to go international. Let me ask you a couple of more questions. Are you an employee for a company? Do you have a boss? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, you work for a pyramid. You have an owner or CEO, next you have presidents, then you may have regional managers, district
managers, store mangers, assistant managers and then you. Guess what...you work for a pyramid! Is your company a scam? I doubt you think it is.
LUXURY PROPERTY CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN & REFURBISHMENT SERVICES
Let’s review the pay scale. Following the management order above, I’m going to assume the person at the top of your current pyramid employer is the number one income earner. The pay scale from the top down also drops dramatically. In network marketing you get paid based on your performance. You don’t have to “brown nose” your manager to advance in network marketing. You have the opportunity to earn money based on your performance. You control your own income potential! Network marketing has a bad taste in many people’s mouths because of bad network marketers selling their company as a “get rich quick” scheme. It’s unfortunate, because it leaves the legitimate companies having to defend themselves and explaining the differences between them and “the others”. The name Visalus was chosen for good reason. The company name is derived from the Latin words vi and salus meaning life and health. With several patent pending products, including Visalus NEURO and the Visalus Vi-Pak (anti-aging and energy supplements), you can rest assured that Visalus will stay on the cutting edge of nutritional supplement technology.
• Specialist Constructions • Exterior Works • • New Build Projects • Refurbishment Projects •
The Management Team The founders and executives of Visalus are the who’s who in the network marketing world, having built and expanded several top grossing companies before utilizing their knowledge to build Visalus Sciences into a strong and stable business platform.

Children of Alcoholics -
Can Alcoholism be Inherited? I came upon an interesting article recently looking at the effects of alcohol on our offspring. We all know that effects of drinking around children, or the physical longterm effects of drinking with an unborn child can be detrimental. However, did you know that alcoholism in adults can actually be inherited by our children. According to Dr. David Sack, a certified psychiatrist, addiction physiatrist and addiction to medicine physiatrist, “Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease that changes the structure and function of the brain, flooding the reward system in the brain with a dopamine (neurotransmitter), that regulates pleasure, teaching people to continue drinking to feel good. Doing this over time can result in physical changes such as a person’s judgment, learning and memory, as well as their ability to stop drinking”.
So, what are the effects of this on children of alcoholics? According to Dr. Sack, children of alcoholics are up to four times more likely to struggle with alcoholism and drug abuse than other kids. Dr. Sacks notes, “They also exhibit more symptoms of depression, anxiety and other emotional and behavioural disorders.” Also, an estimated 50% of children whose parent or parents are alcoholics go on to marry an alcoholic when they are adults. According to Dr. Sack, genetics account for roughly half of a person’s risk for alcoholism. “This is, at least in part, why people with a family history of addiction are at increased risk for drug or alcohol problems themselves,” notes Dr. Sack. He stresses that biology is not destiny: “Environment, upbringing and other factors make up the other half of the risk of developing addiction and are, at least to some extent, within our control.” The only sure-fire way to avoid addiction is to abstain from drugs and alcohol.

Let’s face it, Luis Suarez is a nutter. He’s also a brilliant football player who has a powerful shot, heading ability, great pace, fantastic work rate and superb skills. He also creates opportunities for his teammates. So he’s favourite for the ‘Player of the year’ awards in all categories, so what does he do a week before the voting? Go and bite someone. Brilliant. This act, after saying 2 days earlier during the annual Hillsborough remembrances, that he’s settled down and calmed. He’s had previous too with his former club Ajax, and that prompted a move to another country. This may well do the same with rumours of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid interested. Controversy has always followed Suarez. Born Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, in Uruguay in 1987. Learning football on the streets, he joined Nacional at the age of 14. But by the age of 15, he was red carded for head butting the referee! After being found 70
drinking and partying at 16, Suarez was told that if he didn’t buck his ideas up, he wouldn’t play football again. This seems to have worked and by the age of 18 and his professional debut year he scored 10 goal in 27 games. He moved to Dutch club, Groningen at the age of 19 for €800,000 so he could be closer to his now wife, Sofia Balbi, who had moved to Barcelona. Suarez scored goals but he also had disciplinary problems, in one five game stretch he scored 5 goals but also gained 3 yellows and a red. He left Groningen under a cloud, taking the club to court, for blocking a potential move to Ajax in 2007.
he supposedly racially insulted Evra. Despite speaking Spanish to a Frenchman who isn’t fluent, using a common Spanish term, Suarez’s grandad being black, and that Suarez has done countless bits of charity work in South Africa in support of solidarity, he was banned for 6 games and fined.
At Ajax, he set up a sensational scoring partnership of some 50 goals with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. That was the good part of his game, the bad being the amount of yellow cards that he received and an altercation with teammate Albert Luque.
His actions were also brought into question at the 2010 World Cup when he deliberately saved an obvious goal that would have put Uruguay out. Saving it with 2 hands, he was instantly sent off against Ghana, but the Africans failed to take advantage of the subsequent penalty and the 10 men of Uruguay, who went on to win on penalties. Suárez later commented, “If I am obliged to stop a ball in the last minute and we win, then I will repeat the action.” Thanks to his scoring prowess he was made Ajax club captain by new manager, Martin Jol who wanted Suarez to spread his winning mentality and hard work ethic to the rest of the team. He scored 35 goals in 33 games in the league and a total of 49 for the season. He went on to score 100 goals for Ajax joining such names as Cruyff, Bergkamp and Van Basten in that list. His last act at Ajax was when his temper boiled over once more in November, 2010, where he bit PSV player Otman Bakkal, on the shoulder. After the biting incident and subsequent ban of 7 games, he moved to Liverpool in January, 2011 for 23 million. It has to be said though that he left Ajax on good terms, not wanting to go and being cheered at his last game. He won a Dutch League Champions medal for his half season there as well. Suarez also noted that he learnt much about real football at Ajax from the likes of Van Basten who taught him techniques to increase his deadliness in front of goal. At the 2011 Copa América, Suárez scored four goals for Uruguay as they won a record fifteenth Copa América and was named Player of the Tournament. Returning to the English Premiership, after running rings around him for much of the match he got into an altercation with Patrice Evra, where
This last season, Suarez has been the one single reason why Liverpool have managed to avoid being in the bottom half of the table. His 23 games in the league being invaluable and prompting talk of him winning the Player of the year awards. That is until he bit Chelsea’s Ivanovic. So what does the future hold for Luis Suarez? Openly booed by other professionals at the player awards, and a general feeling of being persecuted, it remains to be seen whether he will remain in England.

Club profile: Chelsea Chances are Chelsea have won their second European title in 2 successive years. Last year it was the Champions League and now it’s the Europa league. After winning their first league title back in 1955, for the last 50 years they’ve been a cup team, winning nothing else. But luckily for them they were bought by Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich back in 2003 and since then the skies the limit.
They have little history in comparison with the bigger clubs in the premiership and without the Russian owner they still wouldn’t have won the premiership, let alone the Champions league. Chelsea are based in Fulham, London. Created in 1905 they couldn’t call themselves after the local area as there was already a Fulham team and so after considering names such as London FC, Stamford Bridge FC and Kensington FC, they came up with Chelsea FC. Their stadium seats 41,836 fans ranking 6th in the Premier league. 10 years after their creation, Chelsea reached the FA Cup Final in 1915, losing to Sheffield United. Nothing of note happened until 1952 when England and ex Arsenal player, Ted Drake took over, and improved the training regime. With good, cheap buys they won their first league championship in 1955. Tommy Docherty took over after Drake, and won the league cup ten years later, in 1965. Dave Sexton won the 1970 FA Cup and the UEFA
Cup Winners Cup the following year. As for the next 25 years they were relegated twice, threatened with losing their stadium, their name was connected with the hooligan element and threatened with bankruptcy until Ken Bates bought the club for a pound. Bates turned things round, with Ruud Gullit taking over as manager in 1996. Due to Gullit’s connections he bought top international players and won the FA Cup in 1997. Gianlica Vialli then took over and he led Chelsea to win the League Cup and the Cup Winners Cup in 1998, the FA Cup in 2000 and qualification for the Champions League in 2002. In 2003, Ken Bates sold the club for £140 million, to the Russian and the rest is history. Investing £100 million in new players, the Russian wanted instant results and Claudio Ranieri wasn’t able to deliver.
Self titled ‘The Special One’, José Mourinho, from the Champions League winning Porto, became Chelsea best ever manager. In his first season and the acquisition of superb buys like Didier Drogba, Chelsea won back-to-back League titles in 2005 and 2006, the FA cup in 2007 and the League Cup in 2005 and 2007. Mourinho fell out with Abramovich however and left under a cloud.
Since then they’ve been sacking managers every year or so, which has done them no favours. Guus Hiddink won the FA cup in 2009 and was sacked. Felipe Scolari, manager of World Cup winning Brazil lasted 4 months and then Carlo Ancelloti won the league and FA Cup in 2010 which still wasn’t deemed good enough. Andre Villas Boas was then hired and promptly sacked 9 months later, with Roberto Di Matteo taking the team on to win the Champions league. His reward? The sack 4 months later and so, ‘Interim’ Manager, Rafa Benitez, took over for the remainder of this season. Abramovich’s investment has made sure that Chelsea are now seen as the 7th most valuable club in the world, at £473 million ($761 million) according to Forbes magazine valuation in April 2012. So with Benitez off in June, despite gaining third in the league, a FA cup semi final and the Europa League title, the manager’s job is up for grabs. This will be filled by Jose Mourinho who left 6 years previously, making amends with the Russian owner, Jose clearly wants to go back to a club where he is ‘loved’. Mourinho has enhanced his reputation since leaving Chelsea by winning the league title and Champions league with Inter Milan and the league and league cup with Real Madrid.
Though Mourinho is a top manager, whether he’ll be able to satisfy Abramovich’s hunger to win everything, is another matter. Time will tell. 73
THE END OF AN ERA
To be honest I didn’t expect Fergie (Sir Alex Ferguson) to resign. Major shocker! I thought he’d do a Tommy Cooper and die on the touch line.
After winning 13 titles with Manchester United, he did what he set out to do when he joined back in 1986, he knocked Liverpool ‘off their perch’ and then some. 38 trophies in his 26 years speaks volumes. Ferguson was appointed manager at Old Trafford on 6 November 1986. Arriving from a successful stint at Aberdeen, Fergie instantly stopped the drinking culture that was hurting the results on the field. In his first season he took them from 21st in the relegation zone to 11th. Fergie increased discipline and started to strengthen the team with the likes of Steve Bruce and Brian McClair. Mark Hughes was added in 1988 and in the 1989 season Neil Webb, Mike Phelan, Gary Pallister and Paul Ince were brought in. Bad form increased pressure on Fergie with widespread speculation that he would be sacked. The board backed him though and those are the only ones who matter. The FA Cup saved his bacon when they went on to win it. Finally in 1992-1993 and the purchase of Schmeichel, Parker, Andrei Kanchelskis and the legendary Eric Cantona from Leeds (for a paltry 1 million), Fergie won his first league title. This was the end of their 26-year wait and the rest was history under Fergie.
74
Sir Alex made his mind up to retire half a season ago, “I decided to retire last Christmas, things changed when my wife Cathy’s sister died. She has lost her best friend, her sister.” Cathy was Catholic, Fergie was Protestant and she banned any talk of football at home throughout his career. Fergie regards his wife as “the key figure throughout my career…a bedrock of stability and encouragement.” It’s not the first time that Fergie thought about retiring, when in the 2001-2002 season he announced a similar desire. Team form plummeted and it all went pear shaped, and he called the announcement an “absolute disaster”. He also realised he didn’t fancy spending empty days in his house and that Cathy “would soon be fed up with me around the house”. He also admits that he wanted to “go out a winner.” In retirement he will probably spend a lot of time training horses and playing the piano, which he started back in 2008 but never had time. He has time a plenty now! He’s not going far though, and he will become a Manchester United director and ambassador and his influence will still be felt in the halls of Old Trafford. His last game will be his 1,500th game as United Manager.
His legacy is huge, but certain factors will now be gone, unless David Moyes, his successor, can carry on what Fergie started. His control of the press will go, where seasoned professional reporters were scared of Fergie denying them access (their bread and butter). The threat of being banned makes them tow the line, even the mighty BBC had to kowtow after a 7-year boycott. There will be an end to Fergie time. Statistical analysis by The Times and Opta Sports show that matches continued for 79 seconds longer when Manchester United were losing, than any other premiership club. Also take into account the referees will no longer be under such pressure. One current bald headed referee has given 20% of all his penalty decisions to Man Utd over a decade. Other referees were forced out of the game, if they crossed Fergie. Those three major factors will be noticed by the rest of the premier league, and I expect major spending by Chelsea (with Mourinho), Manchester City (with Pellegrini), even Arsenal, Liverpool (with Benitez hopefully) and Spurs. All will want to take advantage of a chink in the armour of Manchester United.
The principal core that Moyes will want to keep is that Fergie’s teams “never know when they are beaten”. Without Fergie time, that might be difficult, but if Moyes can bring his ideas to the club while making sure he keeps some of Fergie’s core ones, then there’s every chance that he can do well at his new job.
“
When we had bad times here, everyone stood by me and your job now is to stand by your new manager
”
Sir Alex Ferguson said in his farewell speech. The man to take over from Ferguson is David Moyes, who leaves Everton after 10 years. Moyes has signed a 6 year deal, though that means nothing if he can’t repeat Ferguson’s success. Interestingly, David Gill, the Chairman of Manchester United, spoke to the New York Stock Exchange, and said “That success cannot be guaranteed after the retirement of Alex Ferguson.” Whether David Moyes is the man for the job, is another matter...he has at least got previous experience at rebuilding squads from the bottom down.
Moyes will want to let core Fergie principles stay intact at the club. He will want silence from the players and any problems to be kept in-house. He will also want to remind that there is never any player who is bigger than the club. Fergie was famous for getting rid of players who didn’t tow the line; top players like Paul Ince (the self proclaimed ‘guvnor’) got rid of by the real Guvnor; David Beckham for pouting; Jaap Stam for telling the truth about Fergie illegally tapping him up from Ajax; and Roy Keane having the temerity to criticise other players in his team who were underachieving and not trying.
Born in 1963, he played as centre half for Celtic, Dunfermline and Preston North End. Deeply religious, Moyes was known as one of the ‘God squad’ in his playing days. When his playing career ended at Preston he worked his way up to manager by 1998 and took over at Everton in 2002. With limited funds to invest in a squad he nonetheless got Everton to qualify for the Champions League in 2005 and reached the FA Cup Final in 2009.

One of the immediate problems for Moyes is that United are heavily reliant on aging players like Carrick, Evra and Ferdinand who are beginning to slow down. Add to that Fletcher being out injured with stomach problems, Nani, Ashley Young and Anderson under whelming, Chicarito wanting a move to play more, and the main figure of discontent – Wayne Rooney. After falling out with Fergie back in February and left out of many of the games since then, Rooney has stated that he wants to leave 2 weeks after finding out that Moyes was to take over. Moyes and Rooney have had previous problems, with Moyes suing Rooney and Rooney having to apologise. Moyes has recently gone on to say that Rooney is “one of the best players in the world” but that might be to do with his potential selling price than actually wanting to play him. United have a 40 million valuation of him and very few clubs can afford his £300,000-a-week salary. Paris St Germain perhaps, or with new manager Carlo Ancelloti at Real Madrid. Threatened with relegation when taking over, this continued into the 2003-2004 season when they ended up 17th, their lowest ever points value. Moyes soon started to turn their fortunes around, with the purchase of Tim Cahill and the very next season they qualified for the Champions League. Having qualified for Europe, their campaign however, proved disastrous and they were out of the competition by August in the preliminary rounds. In the next season they were battling relegation again when they were expected to push for Europe. But by the 2006-2007 season, with the additions of Cahill, Mikel Arteta, Andrew Johnson, Joleon Lescott and Tim Howard, the team went from strength to strength, they reached 6th that year. Continuing to strengthen in the 2007-2008 season with Yakubu, Pienaar, Jagielka and Baines they finished 5th. In 2009, Fellaini was bought for 15 million (and is expected to follow him to Manchester United). This ability to build a team is what attracted the eye of Ferguson, and by 2010, Fergie had said that Moyes would be perfect to take over from him when he retires.
Time will tell if Moyes can build on the success that Fergie has created, if the other top teams in the premiership spend money in the summer, then next season’s title race could be one of the most exciting in living memory!

Golf
This year’s U.S Open Championship takes place on 13th-16th June at the Merion Golf Club. Merion Golf Club is a private golf club located in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania, 11 miles (18 km) west of Philadelphia. There are two courses: the East Course, and the West Course. The East Course is regarded as one of America’s greatest golf courses, and will host its fifth U.S. Open in 2013.
The Merion Golf Club
dates from 1896, when members of the Merion Cricket Club (founded in 1865) opened a the golf course. In 1910, the membership decided to build a new course and chose 32-year-old club member Hugh Wilson, a Scottish immigrant and fine player, to design it. The East Course opened in September 1912, and the original course was closed. The West Course, also designed by Wilson, opened in May 1914. In 1941 Merion Golf Club officially separated from the Merion Cricket Club. On the East Course, all pins are topped with wicker baskets instead of the usual flags. Apparently, when Hugh Wilson was in England studying the English golf courses, he happened upon local sheep herders and their flocks. The shepherds held staffs that they used for herding, and the staffs all had wicker baskets at the top. They kept their lunch in the basket so that no animals could get to it. Wilson decided to use the idea at Merion, though the exact origin 80
has never been fully verified. One effect is that the baskets are visible no matter which way the wind is blowing, and they do not give the golfer any indication of wind direction. They have been used since at least 1916, and are featured in the club’s logo. The wicker baskets will be used in the 2013 U.S. Open. Merion has played host to 18 U.S.G.A Championships including 6 Opens, the last of which, in 1981, was won by David Graham.
“
Merion was once described by Jack Nicklaus as
Acre for acre, it may be the best test of golf in the world. Well, come June 13th we will find out.
Whoever wins will follow in the footsteps of some golfing greats who have previously won at Merion. Bobby Jones in 1930 completed the famous grand slam when he won the US Amateur.
”
In 1950, Ben Hogan made his comeback 16 months after a near fatal car crash, and with extreme pain in his legs, on the 72nd hole, he fired a 1-Iron to a distant green. 2 putts later and he was into a third man playoff with Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio. Hogan went on to win that playoff. The photo of Hogan’s 1-Iron shot has become one of the most famous in golf. Lee Trevino beat Jack Nicklaus in 1971 in an 18-hole playoff which was remembered more for the plastic snake produced by Trevino on the 1st Tee, than the 68 he shot to beat Jack. With 3 tournament wins this year, the latest being the Players Championship, Tiger Woods goes into the U.S Open as the overwhelming favourite. Rory McIlroy has shown only brief glimpses of his top form, but with his talent, who knows what’s coming. ‘Lefty’, Phil Mickelson started the year brightly but has been miss-firing in the last couple of months. Phil has been a runner up a record 5 times and desperately wants the U.S Open on his C.V.
For me, I am going for Tiger, with maybe Lee Westwood as an outsider. If he can find a putter to behave, Lee Westwood could definitely make a run!

Andy Murray Andrew Barron “Andy” Murray, born in 1987, is Britain’s only hope of winning Wimbledon. He may be our only hope for a very long time. 2012 was a superb year for Murray where at the 2012 US Open, he became the first British man to win a Grand Slam singles tournament, since 1936. At the Olympics he won gold and became the first British champion in over 100 years. He is the only man in history to win the Olympic gold medal and the US Open title back-to-back. He was born with a bipartite patella, where the kneecap remains as two separate bones instead of fusing together in early childhood. This knee problem has hampered him throughout his career. Murray began as a professional in 2005 at the age of 18, and ranked as world number 407 but his rise was meteoric and by years end he was 64th. The next year he was in the top 20 and by 2008 he was number 4 in the world. In 2008 he reached his first Grand Slam Final where he lost to Roger Federer.
Murray reached the final once more where he met world number 1, Federer . He lost. He reached the semi’s at Wimbledon before losing to Nadal. In 2011, he got to the Australian Open final where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic and the semi’s at the French Open, Wimbeldon and the US Open. But in 2012, everything changed when Murray got a new coach in the form of ex champ, Ivan Lendl. The new coach slowly began to improve Murray game and so he got to the semi’s at the Australian Open and the quarters of the French Open.
By 2009 he reached the quarters of the French Open and won Queens (the pre tournament to Wimbledon) and thus was the first British winner since 1938. Up until September of 2009 he finally overtook Rafael Nadal and became world number 2. But at the US Open, he damaged his wrist and this of course affected his form.
Wimbledon though was the start of him going up a gear. He reached the final and became the first British player to do so since Bunny Austin in 1938. He lost to Federer but soon had revenge at the London Olympics where he beat Federer to win Olympic gold. Murray became the first British man since Josiah Ritchie in 1908 to win gold.
He continued to be the nearly man for the next few years. In 2010,
Winning gold, changed his mindset which showed in the following
US Open. He reached his second consecutive Grand Slam Final and went on to beat Novak Djokovic to become the first Brit to win a Grand Slam final since Fred Perry in 1936. He finished the year as World number 3. In 2013, he reached the Australian Open Final once more and this became Murray’s third consecutive Major final. Sadly he was defeated by Djokovic. Murray’s playing style is varied. He has a low error groundstroke and can turn defence into attack, by increasing the pace of his groundstrokes who have settled into a slow rally. His return is also excellent and has excellent reach and intelligence to react to his opponent. He is rarely aced because of this. He is best on fast hard court surfaces but has been developing on clay. Andy Murray is still only 26 and so with Roger Federer coming to the end of his illustrious career and Rafael Nadal constantly injured, his main rival will be Novak Djokovic. I have a feeling that the two will be playing each other a lot in the next few years and this will create one of the great rivalries in world sport. Murray has shown that he can beat the best and now with the help of Lendl, he can dominate the sport for years to come.

If you are planning on cooking outdoors throughout the summer, purchasing the right barbecue to suit your needs, whether it be your cooking expertise or based on your budget, can be a real problem. There are a lot of different types of grills to choose from; however it seems that a lot of families are transitioning out of the traditional charcoal grill to the more modern gas barbecue grills. With so many new models and features, it’s difficult to figure out whether your choice of a gas grill is a good or a bad one. Yes, meat tastes nicer on charcoal but is all the work involved cleaning up after charcoal, not to mention the good couple of hours needed to get the charcoal heated and ready worth it for you? Maybe if you are considering a barbecue a couple of times a week this could be just the thing. However, using your barbecue daily for evening meals with the family might tempt you to buy an easy, turn on and off grill for instant use. So, before you venture out and buy the first good looking gas grill you put your eyes on, it would probably be a bit more prudent to invest some time and effort into researching and finding out what the best choice is for you and what is really within your price range. This way you will be more satisfied with your choice of a new gas barbecue grill and most likely it will be a lot easier on your pocket as well. In any event, knowing what features you want and need is the first step. So what exactly do you need to bear in mind when choosing the best gas barbecue grill for you?
Some things you ought to consider before choosing your next gas grill: l What are you using the grill for? l Do you need it to be portable or is it going to be a fixture in your garden? l Do you need a small or a large barbecue grill? l What are some of the specific features you want (or need)? l Do you need a single or dual heat controls? l Does it come assembled or do you need to take care of it? l What is the return policy / warranty? 86

Directions
1. Soak 20 bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour or oil metal skewers. 2. Cut chicken into 3cm pieces (about 40). Combine vinegar, oil, garlic, paprika, lemon rind, thyme and chicken in a medium bowl or snap-lock bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. 3. Thread the capsicum, chorizo, red onion and chicken alternately onto the skewers – the chorizo should be skewered through the skin, so that the cut surface of the sausage will come into contact with the barbecue hotplate. 4. Cook the skewers on an oiled barbecue hotplate over medium-high heat until browned all over and chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice, if desired.
