ICKHAM’S

WORLD Voting scam?

By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es

Voting here in Coin turned somewhat farcical when it was discovered that an awful lot of Coin's foreigners had not been registered. My husband was one of them, even though we filled out the same forms, followed up with all the photocopies asked for and generally did what we were supposed to do both at the same time. I know of quite a few others this has happened to. This means that a lot of the foreigners who perhaps would not have voted for the PP or PSOE were denied their chance of having their say. So now there is another four years for the parties that are interested in the foreign vote, and there are a lot of us up here, to get their finger out, talk to us and make sure that everyone is properly registered for next time. Interestingly enough, the one party that was saying they were doing something for us “guiris”, didn't get their copy of the electoral list until after the date for registering had been passed. There's an awfully fishy smell going on around here - but we wait to see if the new lot will pay our outstanding bill! I was in leslie's Bistro – now called “The Bistro at Sierra Gorda” and under new management – the other evening for fish and chips and noticed they have an exhibition of painting by local artist Juliette Robb. I have a couple of her paintings myself so why not have a trip up here, enjoy the countryside and dinner at The Bistro and see if you would like to own one of her original works.

ELECTIONS 2011

Paint it blue As the results came in, they revealed a historic victory for the Partido Popular, which won 2,200,000 votes more than the Socialist Party, compared to a PP victory margin of 156,000 in 2007. It won 11 of the 13 regional governments up for grabs, including Castilla-La Mancha where the Socialists have always held power. The PP won all the town halls in Andalucia's eight provincial capitals, including Seville, where the Socialist Junta de Andalucia has its headquarters. Prime Minister Jose Luis

Rodriguez Zapatero conceded defeat but ruled out early general elections. He said three years of economic crisis had taken their toll. "It destroyed thousands of jobs. It is a crisis that had profound effects on citizens' morale. I know that many Spaniards suffer great hardship and fear for their futures," he said. "Today, without doubt, they expressed their discontent," he added. The country's overall jobless rate hit a new record of 21per cent in the first quarter of this year, the highest in the industrialised world. Youth unemployment stands at

45 per cent. On Monday morning, newspaper headlines were unanimous - "PP crushes PSOE" and "The 22 May tsunami drowns the Socialists". The Socialists' defeat had been widely predicted, but the scale of it indicates a possible landslide win for the PP in the general election, which is due next March. Madrid Community premier Esperanza Aguirre, who easily won reelection, called for the general election to be brought forward, as did Maria Dolores de Cospedal, the victorious PP candidate in Castilla-La

Mancha, who said it would be very hard for Spain to go on like this for another 10 months. She said the financial markets, as much as local Spaniards, are looking for stability and the government should bear that in mind. Meanwhile, the Socialists now have to elect Sr Zapatero's successor. Until Monday, the party had decided to choose him or her through primaries but many of the party's old guard feel its current situation is too fragile to stand the tension that an election would involve. They are calling on the two favourites – Deputy PM

Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba and defence minister Carme Chacon to settle the matter behind closed doors. Other voices have been raised in favour of the same “old guard” hand picking the successor. In the Basque country the new party Bildu became the second largest political force in the region. Its 25 per cent share of the vote was 5 per cent behind the Basque National Party. It had overturned a ban by the Supreme Court, which had said it was the successor to Batasuna, the outlawed political wing of ETA, and gained control of San Sebastian from the Socialists.

False cops arrested Police in Barcelona have arrested 24 Rumanians belonging to a gang that preyed on tourists by pretending to be policemen. Another 14 are being sought.

No immediate danger from ash cloud The secretary of state for transport, Isaías Táboas, said on Tuesday that weather forecasts indicate that the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland seems to be heading east rather than south. After meeting with the Spanish Airport Authority (Aena) and the Airport Security Agency (AESA) Sr Taboas said the ash cloud is losing density and becoming more disperse. It is also lower – between three and six kilometres – well under the 12km cruising altitude for planes. However, the Barcelona football team decided to leave two days early for its date with Manchester United at Wembley this Saturday – just in case. However, if the cloud

spreads from England into< France and Spain as some forecasts expect, more than 20,000 Barcelona fans will either have to change their travel plans or stay at home. Coach Pep Guardiola said he hoped they could make it: “A final with a half empty stadium wouldn't make sense.” By midday Tuesday only 12 flights between the UK and Spain had been cancelled. Meanwhile, BA, KLM, Easyjet, Flybe, Aer Lingus, Loganair and Eastern Airways cancelled flights in

and out of Scotland as the volcanic ash cloud from headed towards the UK. The threat of further disruption led US President Barack Obama to fly out of the Republic of Ireland a

day early to get to London for a state visit. Mr and Mrs Obama had been due to fly to the UK on Tuesday morning, but White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the decision to

bring their arrival forward had been taken "due to a recent change in the trajectory in the plume of volcanic ash". [...] TURN TO PAGE 4

Royal Society scoops Prince of Asturias Award The Royal Society, one of the oldest scientific societies in the world, has been chosen for the Prince of Asturias Award for the Humanities for its “multidisciplinary character and its dedication to scientific research and its diﬀusion of knowledge for the benefit of humanity”. It started out when a group of natural philosophers began meeting in the mid1640s to discuss the new philosophy of promoting knowledge of the natural world through observation and experiment. Its motto “Nullius in verba” roughly translates as “take nobody's

word for it”. It was officially founded on November 28th, 1660, when a group of 12 met at Gresham College after a lecture by Christopher Wren, then the Gresham Professor of Astronomy, and decided to found “a Colledge for the Promoting of PhysicoMathematicall

experimentall Learning". King Charles II encouraged the nameless venture which was finally called The Royal Society for the first time in 1661. The Society met in a series of locations in London until it acquired its own home, two houses in

Crane Court, off the Strand, in 1710. Isaac Newton was its president at the time. Its members were a mixture of working scientists and wealthy amateurs until 1847, when the Society decided that in future Fellows would be elected solely on the merit of their scientific work. The

government recognised this new professional approach in 1850 by giving a grant to the Society of £1,000 to assist scientists in their research and to buy equipment. Meanwhile, the Society continued to outgrow several buildings until 1967, when it moved again to its

present location on Carlton House Terrace with a staff of over 140, all working to further the Royal Society's roles as independent scientific academy, learned society and funding body. Its representatives will receive the award from the Prince of Asturias in October.

No immediate danger from ash cloud [...] Ash from another Icelandic volcano led to huge disruption in Europe last year. During last April's sixday shutdown only a handful of flights took off or landed in the UK. Thousands of

Britons found themselves stranded overseas forcing many to make long and expensive journeys home by land. Airlines estimated the shutdown cost them £1.1bn. The Grimsvotn volcano in

Vatnajokull National Park began erupting on Saturday with ash rising to 20 km but, although still active, is now not as powerful with a plume of 13km. Iceland's airspace has been closed for a period

as a result. Ash from the volcano, which is 97km from the nearest human settlements, has settled over farmland and livestock, causing difficulties for some farmers and tourists have

been evacuated from the country's main national parks. The Grimsvotn volcano lies beneath the ice of the uninhabited Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland. The latest

eruption is its most powerful eruption in 100 years.Experts say this eruption is on a different scale to the one last year and ash particles are larger and, as a result, fall to the ground more quickly.

MADRID

Spanish reporter freed

In the past year and a half, the Traﬃc Guardia Civil have arrested 40 people in Madrid alone for helping other people to get a driving licence fraudulently by standing in for them during the examinations - it carries a jail sentence of up to three years. A spokesman said the problem in the Chinese community was language so people of that nationality who worked in shops or restaurants and who generally speak passable Spanish were often used as substitutes for those who

spoke none. The subSaharans have a similar problem but they get round it by using other people's ID cards. Rich Spaniards who don't want to spend time studying for the exam look for someone who looks like them and has just passed

the test, so the questions are still fresh in their minds. The spokesman said the fee – in cash – was between €1,000 and €2,000, but the substitutes have been known to accept drugs instead, or a job if they're on the dole.

New record for void votes Just over 584,000 empty envelopes – blank votes – found their way into the ballot boxes last Sunday, a rise of more than 2.5 per cent last time and setting a record for this kind of vote. Void votes were also up by 1.7 per cent, but more

imagination was used here. Many of the 389,500 envelopes contained amusing – and sometimes vulgar – drawings downloaded from the internet like the ones here, instead of a destroyed voting paper.

Spanish photojournalist Manu Brabo arrived back in Spain last Friday after being freed by Libyan authorities earlier in the week. He and three colleagues, two Americans and a South African, were arrested on April 5th for allegedly having entered the war-stricken country illegally. They were sentenced to a year in prison. The two Americans were also released but the South African was found dead near the place of arrest. Brabo arrived back via Tunisia, escorted by the Spanish consul there. MADRID

Low cost fliers spend less Tourists who arrived in Spain on low-cost airlines last year spent €821 on average during a two-week visit, 21 per cent less than the €1,041 spent by those who arrived on traditional flights, according to figures released by the Institute of Tourism Studies last week. People aged 25 to 44 tended to opt for low-cost flights and more than half of the total number were Britons or Germans. Most were “sun and beach” tourists arriving in July and August. MADRID

Housing touches bottom

The G-14 group of Spain's principal real estate agents has said that the housing market will touch rock bottom this year with a drop of 8.3 per cent over last year, representing the lowest number of sales since 2005. However, the group predicted that the market would begin a slow recovery in 2012 but warned that sales figures of the “boom” years are definitely a thing of the past. It predicted 513,000 sales by 2015, compared to 900,000 in 2005-2006.

Climate report slams media

Police have declined to confirm reports, carried by the Associated Press and ABC News, among others, that DNA found on the clothes of a New York hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her matches that of the former IMF chief. Mr Strauss-Kahn has denied the charges, and resigned as head of the International Monetary Fund last week to defend himself. He is under house arrest in a New York apartment, after a judge granted him $1m bail last week. Reports about the DNA samples came after authorities analysed the work clothes of the 32-yearold hotel maid who said she

was assaulted in the New York Sofitel near Times Square on May 14th. Investigators are reported to be carrying out further tests on samples taken from the carpet and other surfaces in the hotel room. Mr Strauss-Kahn is charged with seven counts including four felony

charges - two of criminal sexual acts, one of attempted rape and one of sexual abuse - plus three misdemeanour offences, including unlawful imprisonment. His accuser, an immigrant from the West African state of Guinea, told authorities that Mr Strauss-Kahn had accosted her after she entered his hotel room to clean it. Mr Strauss-Kahn's

defence team is expected to argue that a sexual encounter occurred, but that it was consensual. Mr Strauss-Kahn, 62, is due to enter a formal plea on June 6th. Until news of the accusations broke, he was seen as the centre-left French presidential candidate most likely to beat Nicolas Sarkozy in the next general election.

the australian Climate Commission has warned that the world's sea levels could rise by one metre by the end of the century, much more than thought. it said climate science was ''being attacked in the media by many with no credentials in the field" and also that attempts to

"intimidate climate scientists have added to the public's confusion". one commission member criticised the "fruitless phoney debate", and said that australia "no longer had the luxury of climate denialism", as he called it.

Military rule amnesty law upheld

Apocalypse postponed Evangelical broadcaster Harold Camping said on Monday that he miscalculated that date of Judgement Day, which was supposed to happen last Saturday. Mr Camping had not been seen since then until he appeared on a show on his Open Forum radio show, broadcast from Oakland, California, on Monday. In a question-andanswer session with reporters, he said that when his prediction had failed to materialise he felt so terrible that he took refuge in a motel with his wife. He said he was sorry

for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have". Over the weekend, he said, he had returned to the scripture and it had "dawned" on him that a "merciful and compassionate God" would spare humanity by compressing the apocalyptic destruction into a shorter time frame and that the apocalypse

would happen on October 21st. Mr Camping had previously predicted that the apocalypse would strike in 1994. Last week, some followers donated their life savings or simply gave away their worldly possessions as the day approached. Many have expressed bewilderment and shock since the day came and went with no

sign of the global cataclysm. Asked if he had any advice to offer those who had given away their material wealth in the belief the world was about to end, Mr Camping said they would cope: "We just had a great recession. “There's lots of people who lost their jobs, lots of people who lost their houses and somehow they all survived."

Lawmakers have rejected a bill to scrap an amnesty protecting oﬃcers during military rule from prosecution. President Jose Mujica, who had originally supported the bill, changed course after uruguyans voted to keep the amnesty in a 2009 referendum. Last week he warned people not to "transfer the frustrations of our generation to the new generations". Sr Mujica was a member of the rebel tupamaros movement in the 1960s and 1970s, and spent several years in jail under military rule between 1973 and 1985. South Korea

US to help in Agent Orange inquiry the uS has agreed to hold a joint inquiry into allegations that american soldiers dumped large amounts of agent orange on Korean land. three uS army veterans said they buried about 250 barrels of the hazardous chemical at a uS military base in Chilgok, south-east of Seoul, in 1978. uS forces used agent orange to strip foliage from Vietnam's jungles to expose Viet Cong soldiers but its use was halted in 1971 amid fears that uS soldiers were being badly aﬀected by inhaling the chemical.

Pakistan role in Mumbai attacks David Headley, who scouted sites for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, testified at the opening of his trial in Chicago on Monday that the Pakistani intelligence service had links to the group that carried out the attacks. He was testifying against Tahawwur Rana, a Chicago businessman accused of helping plan the attacks. Mr Rana's lawyer, Charles Swift, said in his opening statement that Rana was tricked by Headley, a longtime friend from their days at a Pakistani military school. Headley told the court that Pakistan's InterServices Intelligence agency (ISI) provided military and moral support to the militant group

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). He said a Pakistani agent paid him $25,000 for the operation. Pakistan believes Headley is an unreliable witness and is expected to flatly deny alleged links between militant groups and the Pakistani secret intelligence service. Mr Rana, who is accused of providing Headley with a cover to scout attack locations, faces a life sentence if convicted. More

than 160 people were killed in November 2008 when a group of 10 men stormed a train station, hotels and cafes and a Jewish centre, shooting and throwing bombs. In March 2010, Headley, a US citizen who spent much of his childhood in Pakistan, pleaded guilty to taking photographs and a video of the targets. He could face up to life in prison and a $3m fine.

Allende's remains exhumed The death of Argentinian president Salvador Allende is to be investigated nearly 40 years later. It was said he shot himself in the presidential palace to avoid being taken prisoner by General Augusto Pinochet's forces during

the 1973 coup but supporters believe the military killed him and covered up the crime. A judge has set up a panel of forensic experts to examine the circumstances surrounding the death. The coup led to 17 years of

military rule under Gen Pinochet. More than 3,000 political opponents were killed or "disappeared" by the military. The Allende case is one of 726 alleged rights abuses that investigators are looking into.

His two day state visit started officially yesterday (Tuesday) when he was welcomed by the Queen and Prince Philip on arriving at Buckingham Palace. The Obamas also met the tanned Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who have just returned from their Seychelles honeymoon. The president and Mrs Obama spent last night and tonight (Wednesday) in the Belgian Suite at the Palace, last used by Prince William and his new wife on the night of

their wedding. The visit is a mix of top level talks with ceremony and last night the president and Michelle Obama attended a State Banquet in their honour. The president will be holding talks with prime minister David Cameron today covering a range of topics, including continued support for those fighting for democracy in Arab countries. President Obama yesterday declared that the UK-US partnership was “an

essential relationship for us and the world”. The two men issued a statement of intent in a joint article identifying their responsibility to act to help those “crushed in a hail of bombs, bullets and mortar fire”.

Nothing to regret on desert island French songstress Edith Piaf’s classic “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” is the most popular non-classical track chosen by castaways on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. The “Little Sparrow” also took the No 4 spot in the list compiled by the BBC with “La Vie En Rose”. The BBC has compiled for the first time a list of the eight most frequently picked songs, dating back to when the programme began in 1942. Icons like The Beatles have not made it, but John Lennon slips in at No 8 with “Imagine”. The Piaf song was released in

1960, three years before her death, and has been chosen 42 times, while Piaf’s songs in total have featured 106 times in the past 59 years. The No 2 spot has been secured by Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” and Noel Coward’s “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” is at No 3. The list has been compiled to coincide with the launch by the BBC of a search for the nation’s favourite Desert Island Disc. Flanagan and Allen’s “Underneath The Arches” is at No 5, Judy Garland is at No 6 with “Over The Rainbow” and

Louis Armstrong takes No 7 with “What A Wonderful World”. Listeners can record their vote on the BBC website in time for a 90 minute special edition on June 11th.

Privacy storm after player is named Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs was finally outed as the premier league player hiding behind a super injunction after he was named by an MP in the House of Commons on Monday. Liberal Democrat John Hemming was protected by parliamentary privilege as he named the player but yesterday faced a storm of criticism by parliamentary colleagues, including deputy prime minister Nick Clegg. Prime Minister David Cameron stepped into the growing row on Monday when he said the gagging order was “unfair” and “unsustainable” and admitted that he, along with thousands of others, knew the name of the footballer in question. The prime minister said that social networking sites had made the identity of the player known around the world - it had been reported in newspapers like the English language Times of India, and on Spanish news blogs. He said it was unfair that English based media were the only ones in the world bound by the

injunction from printing the allegations. But he added that there was no simple resolution to the impasse and the law was the law. He has now announced a parliamentary review on privacy which will report in the autumn. Giggs, a family man who appeared on the Old Trafford pitch with his wife and children after the last game of the season on Sunday, is alleged to have had an affair with Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas and sought the ban to prevent publication of the allegations, but the information is widely available on the internet and tens of thousands of Twitter aficionados have circulated it – including some UK celebrities like Piers Morgan who have subsequently withdrawn their references because they are identifiable and

could face prosecution. The footballer had instructed his lawyers to demand information from Twitter about the identities of those circulating the information in a bid to take action. Yesterday (Tuesday) Giggs arrived at the Manchester United training ground looking tense and drawn. He was expected to play in team mate Gary Neville’s testimonial, and will be expected to feature in the Champions League final on Saturday when his team play Barcelona. Wife Stacey appeared yesterday without her wedding ring and police were called to the street where Giggs lives after masked men had damaged vehicles belonging to paparazzi. Attorney General David Gieve warned that judges could still punish those who named Giggs for breaking the law.

Briton's body recovered The body of a British climber who was swept away by an avalanche in the Sierra Nevada on February 20th was found last week by one of the two other British climbers who were with him that day. The body of John Hogbin, aged 42, who lived in Zafarraya, Granada province, was found in a river bed near the Barranco de San Juan where the avalanche

happened. After the body was located, the Civil Guard's mountain rescue service (Sereim) went in with specialised snow ploughs to recover it and transfer it to Granada for an autopsy. Sereim had been on the look-out for the body during its regular patrols of the area since the accident happened but had not expected to find it until the winter snows started melting.

The mental state of a retired Guardia Civil oﬃcer should have been more fully considered when the man was sentenced for attempted premeditated murder. Andalucia's Supreme Court had knocked 20 years off the 37-year jail sentence that Malaga's Provincial Court handed down to the “kamikaze” who drove his car into the pedestrianised Calle Larios in the city centre in August 2008, running over

nine people and injuring five of them seriously. The Supreme Court considered that the Provincial Court had not given sufficient importance to the retired Guardia Civil's mental state at the time. The

Court had originally condemned the man to six years and six months for each of five counts of attempted premeditated murder, and compensation to three victims of €1,031, €39,963 and €15,420 respectively.

Town can't use Luna Mora name A Granada court has ordered Carratraca town hall to stop using the name “Luna Mora” for a fiesta which an association organised in the town from 1997 to 1999 before transferring it to Guaro when the mayor who was voted in that year refused to let them continue. The Carratraca town hall continued to celebrate the “Embrujo de Luna Mora, encuentro de dos culturas” (Spell of the Moorish Moon, Meeting of Two Cultures) but the Granada judge

ruled that the name belonged to the association, who had registered the “Festival de la Luna Mora de Malaga” in 2002. The Festival de la

Luna Mora in Guaro, when the streets are lit by more than 20,000 candles as a reminder of its Moorish past, is a hugely popular annual event.

Partido Popular sweeps Andalucia The Partido Popular's sweeping success in Sunday's local and regional elections was duplicated across Andalucia. The PP will govern in all the provincial capitals, including Cordoba, where it ousted the Izquierda Unida from the only provincial capital it has ever governed. It swept the board in Seville, where the Socialist Junta de Andalucia has its headquarters, underlining predictions that the PP will win the national election due to be held next year. In Malaga province the PP won Mijas, Estepona,

PP leader and wife 'dead' Javier Arenas, the PP's leader in Andalucia, was appalled to discover when he applied for tax declaration forms for himself and his wife on the internet that the Tax Office had them down on its lists as dead. Last week, Sr Arenas presented a denuncia against the Tax Office and called for an internal investigation. A Tax Office spokesman said it was an error that affected a very small number of contributors, pointing out that it sends tax forms and data to more than 20 million people, five million via the internet, and mistakes were sometimes made. He said the error had already been corrected and apologised for any inconvenience caused. Some political observers have hinted at a plot to “remove” the man who looks set to break the Socialist Party's grip on Andalucia in next year's regional election.

Antequera, Velez-Malaga and Coin, all former Socialist strongholds. The PP also has a chance to govern in Ronda and Benalmadena if it can reach alliances with smaller parties to oust the IU and the Socialists respectively. In that case, the PP would govern in 85 per cent of Malaga province's 101 municipalities. Malaga has traditionally been a Socialist stronghold, like the rest of Andalucia, but as

An Investiture took place at The Convent in Gibraltar last Thursday to recognise the outstanding efforts by some of Gibraltar's citizens. The annual awards are not for business people and their achievements but for people who have dedicated themselves to Gibraltar and her citizens in many different ways, making lives of people in need easier, guiding the youth of the Rock with enthusiasm and generally giving of their time for the benefit of others. Three Gibraltar Awards were presented and the Colonial Police Medal.

The first of the Gibraltar Awards was presented to Mrs Laura Warwick in recognition of her meritorious services to Cancer Support. Mrs Warwick is a founder member of the Gibraltar Society for Cancer Relief. Since the 1980s she has geneously offered her time and services as a carer, cook, driver and councillor to anybody who needed it at the Lady Williams Cancer Support Centre.

The Gibraltar Netball Association is now part of the International Federation of Netball and the Federation of European Netball Association. Moira's squads achieved the silver medal in 2009 and gold in 2010 in the Under 17 Netball Europe Tournament. And also in 2009 the GNA was awarded the Netball Europe Award for services to Netball. Due to Moira's hard work and determination, the Association continues to achieve great things and grow.

The second recipient of the Gibraltar Award was Mrs Moira Gomez who received the award for Meritorious Services to Netball and to youth. Moira has been president of the Gibraltar Netball Association since 1993 and, due to her hard work and dedication to the sport she has seen the association grow from just 8 teams to an astounding 30 senior and 16 junior teams.

The last Gibraltar Award of the day was presented by the Governor to Mr Mark Rodrigues for meritorious service to Scouting. Mark has been scouting for over 20 years and has been instrumental in initiating the Scout Group's ability to offer a wide range of fulfilling adventure activities and has trained many youngsters resulting in their becoming adult leaders. Mark has successfully organised a number of large events including the annual group camp for over 120 members that is held in Chiclana, Spain. Dealing with everything from catering to insurance, Mark ensures the success and value of all these events. In his professional life Mark is a Quantity Surveyor and for well over five years he has been involved in the refurbishment of the association's own campsite on the Upper Rock resulting in a place that is enjoyed by all local and visiting Scouts and Guides. In addition to all of the above, Mark continues to provide an excellent service in his normal rôle of assistant group leader. His continuing efforts, support and enthusiasm allow the Gibraltar Scout Group to offer the best Scouting experience possible. His Excellency The Governor of Gibraltar, Vice Admiral Sir Adrian Johns KCB CBE, presented all the awards to the recipients on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen.. The awards ceremony was followed by photo opportunities for the recipients and their families then celebration drinks and a sumptuous lunch in the historic banqueting hall.

piping hot welcome

A collection of lovingly polished classic cars gathered in Gibraltar last Saturday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Gibraltar Rally. The rally is organised by the Gibraltar Classic Vehicles Association and attracted 60 cars from The Rock and all over southern Spain – including representatives of the Sol Classic Car Club. The cars, ranging from an early Bull Nosed Morris Cowley to a 21st century Bentley GT, gleamed in the morning sun on what must have been the hottest day of the year so far. One or two of the old girls from Spain struggled with the heat as they patiently waited in the

queue from La Linea. Crowds lined Main Street as the cars made their way, to an accompaniment from the Gibraltar Sea Scouts Pipe Band, up towards Europa Point at the tip of Gibraltar, and then back down to the modern Marina complex of Ocean Village. The cars were parked on the quayside while drivers and passengers went on a tour of the 34 miles of tunnels dug into The Rock by British army personnel between 1782 and the 1960s. The rally was part of the Gibralatar festival - see next week for a list of future events up to the end of the festival.

To the losers

To the victors

hank goodness it's all over – perhaps we'll get back to having some real news in the newspapers instead of endless pre- and post-election speculation. Last week it was all about the effect the thousands of mainly young people making an allegedly non-political statement by camping out in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol could have on Sunday’s voting. (Very little from the looks of it turnout was slightly higher this time around.)

out. This uncertainty is compounded by rumours of undisclosed debts, of deficits much greater than acknowledged at a regional and local level. We’ll soon find out just how bad the situation is when the new PP administrations open the accounts books in town halls and regional governments across the country. The financial markets may hate uncertainty but they hate “hidden debts” even more. So I fear the situation on that front will continue to be bleak.

A house divided

nd since the election results started trickling in on Sunday evening it’s been nothing but – oh my gosh, what happened – in what El Mundo called a political tsunami. espite having suspected that what happened would happen, I’m still feeling a bit shell shocked. The scale of the Partido Popular’s triumph – 2,220, 000 more votes than the Socialists nationwide – was even vaster than I had dared predict. Zapatero will now go down in history as the man responsible for the worst results the Socialist Party has had in any election since the transition to democracy after Franco’s death.

e's blamed the defeat on “three years of economic crisis” and says he understands that people feel frustrated. In fact, three years ago he was still denying the existence of a crisis that started the previous year. It wasn’t until June 2008 that some reporters cornered him into mentioning the dreaded “C” word during a television interview, after which he couldn’t go on denying it. What Zapatero doesn’t seem to remember is that in the months leading up to the March 2008 general election, he consistently denied the existence of any economic crisis here in Spain and even went as far as accusing people who said there was one of being “traitors” and “unpatriotic”. Zapatero knew that if he had told the people the truth about the country’s economic situation they would probably turn to that “arch-traitor”, opposition leader Mariano Rajoy, for salvation. And he didn't start doing anything about it until the EU leaned on him last May. The reforms he trotted out then were too little too late.

apatero has already said he won’t be calling an early election because he still has a lot of reforms to implement. So it looks as if he intends to do the decent thing and clean up some of the mess he’s made before the PP thrashes his party in the general election. However, as someone pointed out to me on Monday, the stock market fell today despite the big win by a pro-business political party. I pointed out that Zapatero is still the man in charge but is now a lame duck who probably lacks the authority to bring in the tougher reforms that the EU is demanding to stop the country from needing a financial bail-

o complicate the situation further, even as Zapatero tries to go on governing his own party might be up to its neck in primaries to choose his successor. Apparently cooler heads within the party are calling on the two favourites – Deputy PM Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba and defence minister Carme Chacon – to settle the succession behind the scenes to present a united front to the nation. However, power struggles have a nasty tendency to spill over into the public domain.

ut the party itself is its own worst enemy. Unfortunately for today’s Socialists, the country’s first postFranco Socialist PM – Felipe Gonzalez – brought in most of the reforms needed in all areas to drag Spain into the 20th century. So the current lot have had very little to get their teeth into, and they settled for what I call ideological reforms. A good example of this is the Historical Memory Law intended to right the wrongs of the Franco regime. It was foisted on Zapatero by his 2004-2008 ally, the Communist-dominated Izquierda Unida (IU) whose often stated aim is to keep the “Right” out of power. What better way to do that than by keeping alive the worst memories of the Franco regime. The IU has never made a secret of its hatred for the PP. Former IU leader Gaspar Llamazares said in 2004 that “we must do everything possible to keep the PP from returning to power ever again”. Current IU leader Cayo Lara said last week that “IU votes would be used to keep the PP from governing anywhere in Spain”. Fortunately the majority of voters – being non-ideological - don’t feel the same way.

he winners in Sunday’s elections have nothing to celebrate. The Partido Popular and Bildu now have big weights on their shoulders while the Socialists will need to spend a lot of time on very much-needed reflection and soul-searching. Race results were not surprising; the polls had been predicting heavy losses for prime minister Zapatero’s party for weeks. What is perplexing is that many Spaniards believe that the PP is their salvation when the party hasn’t even unveiled any of its supposed formulas to get Spain out of this economic crisis.

he weekend’s vote was nothing more than a referendum on the Zapatero government: punishment for what many say are inadequate policies and mismanaging of the economy. By voting for the PP, electors believe that the bountiful years under Aznar’s previous government will be rolling just around the corner. It is a common reaction by voters who are in the midst of personal financial crises with no job and no future. Electors tend to throw the current government out when things go from bad to worse. But while these regional and local elections reflect voters’ current tendencies, they do nothing to change government policy. And we are already beginning to see the cracks among the victors.

n Monday, buoyed by his party’s sweeping wins, PP leader Mariano Rajoy announced that he would not actively seek any partnerships with other coalitions in regions and municipalities where the PP didn’t win an absolute majority yet he was open to speaking with the other political forces – all except Bildu.

he Basque radical left coalition which is now the second largest political force in the region captured more than 950 spots on the town councils and 74 mayoral offices. Voters in the Basque Country and Navarre showed that they want to give Bildu a chance to work on a viable political solution to the independence issue and help bring an end to ETA.

ut by his refusal to trust Bildu, Rajoy is disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters who support the coalition. He is telling Basque electors that their votes are not any good because one of the nation’s major parties has no plans on dealing with an organisation they don’t support. It is enough to fuel tensions and dismantle any prospects for peace in the region. That is problem number one.

ith hundreds of thousands of demonstrators turning up for what is now being called the Spanish Revolution, Rajoy was content over the people’s anger and frustration with the Socialist government. But now

that he is at the forefront, fresh with electoral power, he hasn’t made any appeasements to the May 15th Movement or its organizers, Real Democracy Now. Demonstrators are still camped out in Madrid ’s Puerta del Sol and they continue to rally their cause on Facebook and Twitter. It is only a matter of time before this swelling movement, which has captured the eyes of the world, will explode into a serious problem for the nation.

s for Bildu, its responsibility now lies in showing Rajoy and the rest of Spain that it is a serious political group that doesn’t want to be connected in any way to ETA. But that is going to take time. There are too many sides to this past election drama, but the only clear message we’re getting is that Spaniards want change – change that none of the traditional parties have been able to offer them.

eneral elections are still 10 months away, but the Partido Popular wants to call them early. Rajoy knows that he isn’t ready to take over the reins of the Spanish economy so soon even though he says that Zapatero’s government is not under any condition to oversee the country.

he situation is a hot potato and it would be easier for the Socialists to wash their hands now and sit back and watch Rajoy and his people perform. But they won’t. The Socialist Party is a responsible organisation that is committed to finishing its term, doing as much as it can to shore-up a faltering nation, and to prevent any domestic political upheaval from unraveling the already loose knots that are holding the European Union together.

e ins and outs of laptop repairs It is a fact that computers have become a standard household item, much like the television, the fridge and the washing machine. Many homes now have one or more PCs as well as laptops, notebooks and netbooks which, although often cheaper than a desktop computer and now just as powerful, do have a downside - they are easy to steal and prone to accidents. Over the past ten years Electronbox and PC Doctor have developed one of the most advanced state-ofthe-art laptop repair

workshops on the Coast and consequently have successfully fixed thousands of laptops. Managing Director Philippe Michel said: “The damage is varied... dropped laptops, spilt coffee, people have even driven over them. They come in with burnt out components from overheated batteries or clogged up fans. One of the most common problems is

spilt liquids. When this happens, immediately unplug your computer and remove the battery, turn it upside down and if possible, clean the affected area with warm water. Then apply a hair dryer (with care) to dry out that water and leave the laptop open, in a warm place for several days to dry out. You will be amazed at how effective this method is. Unfortunately many people panic and then to see if their laptop still works, switch it on and off whilst it is still wet, resulting in a costly short circuit and damage to the internal components in addition to possible data loss.” Electronbox and PC Doctor's highly qualified technicians and dedicated electronics engineers have helped many people recover lost data then successfully repaired their laptop, even though the client had been informed by others that this was not possible. Cliff Dale, senior

technician and shareholder, advises people not to try and fix laptops themselves. He adds: “Most times if we receive a laptop untouched and in good time, we can probably repair it at a fraction of the cost. The problems get worse when people try to open the laptop case and in doing so accidentally break joints, lose bits and disconnect components incorrectly. Laptops are delicate and spare parts can be more expensive than buying a new one.” Cliff also suggests cleaning your laptop two or three times a year using an ordinary

vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the keyboard and fan areas, a common cause of many laptop failures. Electronbox and PC Doctor have successfully operated since 2000 and with now over 15,000 clients, they are one the biggest IT companies on the Costa del Sol, providing solutions to both home and business users alike. The company’s main offices are located in Fuengirola on Avenida Clemente Díaz Ruiz 8, half way between the train station and Barclays

Bank. Call them on 952 591 071 or use the 24 hour support line 807 488 440. Alternatively send an email to info@electronbox.net or visit their website www.electronbox.net to see the full list of other services and related business as well as client testimonials.

nd when Arcos’ Ayuntamiento needed a Pinoteca - a gallery - to display the works of art they had accumulated over the years they literally dug deep to find the best location, right underneath an old Palace in the heart of the Casco Antiguo!

But under the imaginative direction of local architect Ángel Zurilla Juan, and financed by the Diputación Provincial these old tunnels have been renovated and house the town’s Pinacoteca.

MOVIE SPOTLIGHT

By Ricky Leach

Have I forgotten? email: info@coinlife.info web: www.coinlife.info

wish I had forgotten to watch the memory loss film Memento.

bout a year ago, a friend that really loves her films suggested that I watch this, her all-time favourite film. Remembering what she had told me, I recently came across the film and watched it on a long train journey last weekend.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR

Priest

BY SCOTT STEWART Starring Paul Bettany, Maggie Q

It’s a futuristic tale based on a comic book which also brings to mind any number of other movies – but that’s not such a bad thing. Paul Bettany seems to be cornering the market in grim looking mad monks and avenging angels/priests and this is no exception, as this movie reunites him with his Legion director. We inhabit a world where vampires held the upper hand until they were vanquished by a group of warrior priests identified by a crucifix tattooed on their foreheads. After conquering the vampires

the humans now live in dark, teeming neon-lit closed off cities (cue Blade Runner) although a few defiantly live in the postapocalyptic countryside ( a bit like Mad Max). Bettany’s Priest was a legendary warrior priest who fought in the last Vampire War and now lives in one of the dystopian cities ruled by the Church. But his niece (Lily Collins) lives outside on a farm with her family and is

NEWS FROM CANNES

abducted by a murderous pack of vampires who hurtle round in a high speed train. Priest has to defy the church if he is to seek out the band and rescue his niece before it is too late ( bit like The Searchers). So he teams up with her boyfriend, a local sheriff, and recruits the priestess (Maggie Q) despatched by Christopher Plummer to stop his mission and off they go on their super-

powered motorcycles, trailing their cassocks behind them. The martial arts action is all Matrix and the plot is derivative of plenty of other postapocalyptic movies with a blend of Wild West, sci-fi and horror. It won’t win any awards and hasn’t won the hearts of critics but no matter – it’s all very glossy and pacy. Do they win the day? Is it the start of a franchise...hmm.

AUDIENCES IGNORE CRITICS

Malik lifts the trophy Depp defies critics Terrence Malik’s The Tree Of Life might have been greeted with boos from the critics at their early morning showing, but its reception did not stop it from lifting the coveted Palme d’Or as the Cannes Festival came to a close at the weekend. The movie is an ambitious coming of age saga starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. Malick, notoriously reserved, did not attend the ceremony to pick up the award. Kristen Dunst took the Best Actress award for her role in Lars von Trier’s psychodrama Melancholia. The director had cast a shadow over the festival

when he was banned over remarks about Adolf Hitler. He said they were meant as jokes but Dunst clearly looked uncomfortable at the press conference to promote the film - luckily her chances were not damaged.

Well, the critics were as sniffy as everyone predicted but the fourth instalment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, On Stranger Tides, has set a new global sales record. Last week Johhny Depp and Penelope Cruz were on the Cannes red carpet

promoting the movie on the eve of its opening and since then it has taken a worldwide total of $256 million – the highest total ever for a first week of release. The previous record was held by Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, with $236 million.

eleased in 2000, the film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance company claims investigator who suﬀers from anterograde amnesia, a condition that prevents him from creating and storing new memories.

he film shows sequences in black and white that tell the story of what happed to Leonard in chronological order while colour sequences show the confusing and disorientating world of a person who wakes up each day with little awareness of what they did yesterday.

he trouble is, despite or maybe because of, its clever plot, I found myself joining Leonard in his confusion. Even though I was treated to a few extra scenes that showed not everyone was playing fairly with his disability, as the end of the film drew nearer I realized that it really didn´t make any sense to me. Ok so there is some projection of a story often repeated in the film that turns out to be closer to home than Leonard could have guessed and there is a sub plot of crooked cops and a drug dealer’s moll manipulating his ability to forget what happened ten minutes ago in order to get Leonard to do their dirty work. Overall though, I thought the film was fractured and too clever for its own good. Well, too clever for me anyway.

n altogether diﬀerent memory themed film is Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind, a rare kind of movie as it features Jim Carrey in a serious acting role where he isn´t playing the fool.

his is a truly wonderful film that I first saw at the

cinema in La Trocha in 2004, back when they were first showing films in English. As well as the very believable Mr Carrey, the film also stars Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruﬀalo and a young Elijah Wood. British actor Tom Wilkinson also has a pivotal role playing the clever Doctor Mierzwiak who has made a business out of erasing certain people, events or places from his customers’ memories.

asically, Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) are inexplicably attracted to each other as they head on a train to the beach one day, unaware that they had previously been lovers and had subjected themselves to a memory wipe that eﬀectively removed each of them from the other’s memory. Joel didn´t really want to end the relationship but after Clementine has the procedure, Joel hopes that doing the same would help him to forget the sadness he was feeling about the failure of the relationship and the fact that Clementine no longer knows who he is.

eing drawn to each other without knowing why, the film proves the old adage “what will be, will be” and even the best eﬀorts of Dr Mierzwiak cannot put asunder those that love has put together. As the couple’s new relationship progresses, Joel finds bits of memory of their previous relationship hidden amongst his childhood memories, placed there subconsciously by his own brain.

story line running alongside that of Joel and Clementine shows how the wily Doctor is using his memory wiping technique to continually take advantage of his beautiful assistant Mary (Kirsten Dunst), leaving her with no idea of what she has been talked into by her boss.

side from the clever story and the brilliant acting, Eternal Sunshine is one of my favourite films and certainly the most romantic I think I have ever seen. And I remember it!

It is time to get things in order this week, sort out the paperwork, clear up the house and get on top of your finances. You only have so much energy and events of late could have had you feeling that you were being pulled in six directions at once, now that things are settling down; use this lull time to clear the decks. A helping hand could appear in the form of a friend you have not seen for a while. Keep your thoughts positive and constructive and watch your confidence soar. You are an attraction magnet at the moment and could be feeling upbeat and inspired allowing you to operate at the top of your game. You may make a decision to live your life more consciously, change your diet in some way or put structures in place to make your daily life operate smoother. Initiate something new and profound and watch it take oﬀ. Self-empowerment and inner strength merge together to create an unstoppable force. This week is all about getting the details right, check your work and if you feel yourself getting distracted then ask for someone else to double check it. You could find yourself daydreaming a lot due to the amount of activity going on in your 12th house so try to make sure you are living in the ‘here and now’ when dealing with anything serious. On the positive side your imagination and creative powers are exceptional and you are likely to inspire others with your visions. Emotionally you are feeling more secure and stable as you focus your attention on tapping into ways to take charge of your life. The entrepreneur in you is alive and kicking causing you to break new ground, loaded with ideas and innovations. Whatever you wish for or desire - you have the spirit to make the changes now. Just know that a little eﬀort during these coming days will go a long way, progress will be experienced in all areas of your life. Glitz and glam, fun and frolics – what a week you are going to have Leo. Right now you feel that you have got life sussed and this is your time to shine. Make sure that you keep up the things that are making your life run so smoothly as it is obviously working. Romance is in the air and you could be thinking of stepping a relationship up a notch. If single then put your glad rags on and get out there – as you are like a hearth fire and everyone feels warm when they are around you. Your keyword for this week is ‘passion’ born out of instinct. There is nothing like it to help secure a long sought after goal. It’s the passionate ones that can convince all of those in their midst of the reasons why something not only should happen but must. Passion will carry you to the finish line even after your legs have given up on you. This week make whatever it is you are doing a success on many levels, inject that charisma into what you really want.

Changes are occurring to turn your hopes, dreams and wishes into rock solid realities. The truth is that you also need to be willing to let go of the negative influences, habits or routines that are holding the good fortune back. Some things are black and white so instead of sitting on the fence, make your choices and live with the results. If you have the determination to see things September 23rd through you will make it all the way to success, it is there if you want it. October 22nd

I have been dieting and haven't lost an ounce so this week we're going to make yummy coffee and banana with chocolate chip muffins. The recipe makes 16 or 18 muffins so you can enjoy midnight snacks too – if they last that long once they're out of the oven!

Mocha Chocolate Chip Banana Muﬃns Ingredients: ● ● ● ● ●

240gr butter or margarine 250gr white sugar 1 egg 3 ripe bananas 1 tablespoon instant coﬀee granules, dissolved in 1 tbsp water ● 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ● 275gr all-purpose flour ● 1/4 teaspoon salt ● 1 teaspoon baking powder ● 1 teaspoon baking soda ● 150gr chocolate chips

Directions 1 Preheat oven to 75ºC /350ºF

2 Blend butter or margarine, sugar, egg, banana, dissolved coﬀee, and vanilla in food processor for 2 minutes. Add flour, salt, baking powder, and soda, and blend just until flour disappears – the good thing about muﬃns is that the mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth. Add

story sometimes when it comes to speaking your heart. Others always see you as being so rock solid strong and often fail to recognize that your heart and soul are just as human as everybody else. This week is all about finding ways to share with someone close what you really feel inside.

Ingredients: This week your ability to communicate eﬀectively and meaningfully in order to restore and further deepen your connection with an important or significant other is oﬀ the scale. Take this opportunity to right the wrong and you will pave the way for greater trust and intimacy in your life.

chocolate chips and mix in with wooden spoon. Spoon mixture into 15 to 18 paperlined muﬃn cups.

As there is an absolute abundance of tomatoes coming out of the gardens right now, and the weather is now warm enough to enjoy it, here is a recipe for Gazpacho – the Spanish cold tomato soup that is refreshing and delicious.

● 500gr beefsteak tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped finely. ● 2 garlic cloves, chopped ● 3 tablespoons tomato purée ● 3 tablespoons olive oil ● 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar ● 600ml water ● ½ teaspoon sugar ● 1 cucumber, halved ● salt and freshly ground black pepper

(Makes 16 -18)

All eyes are going to be upon you this week and this is when you should show oﬀ your talents and abilities. It is all about you being willing to rise above the normal expectations others have of you and go that one step further. In a way you will find that you are an inspirational or motivational force for others whilst allowing others to see how deeply you really feel and care. By the weekend you will find that opportunities and a new set of possibilities open up to you. Flashes of intuition spark through you this week, your awareness is electrifying and your perception changes with regard to relationships and acquaintances. This increase in awareness allows you to see the bigger picture and not get hung up on ‘words’. Often, things that look perfect on the surface are not really so ideal. Apparent problems can be great blessings in disguise. This week brings you a development that may not seem obviously impressive; however, benefits flow your way.

Directions 1. Place the tomatoes in a liquidiser or food processor with the garlic, tomato purée, olive oil, vinegar, half the water and sugar then add salt and pepper to taste. 2. Skin and roughly chop one half of the cucumber and add to the processor. Blend at maximum speed for 30 seconds or until all the ingredients are smoothly combined.

3. Refrigerate the soup for at least two hours. 4. Just before serving, dice the remaining cucumber half and sprinkle over the top of the soup with the onion and croûtons.

Bigger wardrobes a must have For many women today the dream of wearing the same dress as Cheryl Cole or Kate Middleton becomes an aﬀordable reality as replica outfits fly out of the shops and into the wardrobe. And research now shows that the average woman in the UK is buying half her weight – a cool four and a half stone – in clothes each year. Women have more than four times as many clothes in their wardrobes than they did in 1980, but they are not hoarding – they are getting rid of the same amount each year.

It is believed that on average, women have 22 items hanging in their wardrobes that have never been worn, and are expected to spend £136,640 during their lifetime on clothes. Much has been attributed to the increase in “fast fashion” in which women can now easily buy cut price versions of clothes worn by

celebrity favourites. They spend less on individual items but buy more, said consumer expert Lucy Siegle, who has examined the phenomenon.

a simple blue frock produced by Zara the day after her wedding and within minutes the company’s internet site was deluged by purchasers.

She concludes that the rise in online stores like ASOS has helped, plus the growing internet empire of high street chains like Spain’s Zara and Sweden’s H&M. Kate Middleton wore

Ms Siegle reckons that the global textile market produces 80 billion new garments a year, and with prices falling, those wardrobes will continue to bulge.

Fashion eyes on first ladies SamCam and Michelle Obama will be in the spotlight in a Battle of The Styles this week. The two women will be in competition to see who wins the fashion stakes during the US president’s state visit to the UK. Michelle is known for her easy, colourful choices, her support for up and coming designers and has not been frightened to go British when it suits her she wore a Sarah Burton at

as much fun with it, and the money raised will go to the charities for which she is an ambassador – UNICEF and Children in Crisis.

The couple will head to Canada from June 30th to July 8th and then will visit California from July 8th to 10th. But it appears that the couple may be out of bounds for the Hollywood celebrities who were hoping to meet them at star studded events. It has been reported that William and Kate will not be visiting David and Victoria Beckham, even though Becks and Posh attended the wedding. Victoria was said to be quietly relieved as the visit coincides with when she expects to give birth to her fourth child. Advisors are keen to maintain the tone of the visit, and avoid Kate from being overwhelmed like Princess Diana, who was a huge Hollywood favourite. They want the emphasis to be on the charitable work carried out by William. It will be sad news for

Spain’s top Hollywood couple Antonio Banderas and wife Melanie Griffiths. Melanie said while aboard a yacht at the Cannes film festival last week that she would love to invite them to the Banderas LA home. “We’d love to throw them a party. We have a lovely big house and they would be more than welcome,” she said. One person who presumably will definitely be off any guest list is former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is currently in disgrace as it emerged last week that he had a long affair with his family housekeeper, who had a son, now aged 13, with the tough guy former actor. His wife Maria Shriver has terminated their relationship, and Arnie has pulled out his new movie commitments. The Duke and Duchess will be the focus of a lot of attention in the States – president Barack Obama told the Prince of Wales the nation was gripped by the televised wedding and secretary of state Hilary Clinton watched it simultaneously with her mother, and daughter Chelsea along with millions of others.

Tips for healthy summer feet The rise in temperature during the summer months along with flip flops, sandals and summer activities can cause extra problems for your feet, just when you want them to look their best. Here are some tips to help you keep your feet healthy and pain free through the summer months. Sweaty feet- and the smell that goes with them - is one of the most common problems during hot weather. To avoid them and reduce your chances of fungal infections: wash your feet every day in warm soapy water. Don't soak them, as this might destroy the natural oils causing dryness, and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes; wear good quality socks made from fibres that wick sweat away from the skin. This will help to keep your skin dry and allows your feet to “breathe”. And change them every day;

wear well ventilated shoes and change them often. Wearing the same shoes every day transfers decomposing bacteria onto your feet, so to keep them smelling sweet, alternate your footwear, and always keep your trainers well aired, before and after exercise to prevent the build up of fungal spores and bacteria. Cracked heels are normally caused by wearing openbacked shoes and sandals which allow the fat pad under the heel to expand sideways, increasing the likelihood of the skin to crack. To prevent this, keep your feet well moisturised by applying a moisturiser twice a day. Use an abrasive stone such as a

pumice stone or a non-metal footfile exfoliate the build up of skin which can occur. Change the type of footwear you wear. Constantly wearing flip-flops or flimsy sandals increases your likelihood of unsightly and sometimes painful cracked heels. If cracked heels become a serious problem, they can be "strapped" by a chiropodist or podiatrist. This holds the cracks together to help them heal. Blisters can be prevented by keeping feet dry at all times. If you have sweaty socks, change them. If buying new summer sandals or shoes, make sure they fit properly. Shoes which are too loose or too tight will create pressure points and

la clinica is a holistic and dynamic health clinic with treatments for internal and external wellness

with polish. A thick, discoloured, cracked or crumbling nail could mean you have a fungal infection. It won't go away by itself, so get it checked out.

Sunburn: your feet are most exposed during summer, so don't forget the suncream. Use SPF30 and above, and reapply regularly to protect against skin cancer and leathery skin due to premature ageing.

Try to vary your shoe type and heel height from day to day; one day with low heels, the next with slightly higher ones. Heel heights should be kept to about 3cm for everyday use.

Feet tend to swell during the day so buy new shoes or sandals later in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest

Other tips for healthy summer feet: swimming and paddling pools, gym showers and hotel bathrooms are breeding grounds for athlete's foot and verrucas. Wear flip flops or Crocs to avoid catching them; don't hide "ugly" toenails

lead to rubbing, making blisters inevitable. Put your feet up! Your feet need a rest. Over-working feet increases heat and moisture in footwear and increases the likelihood of blisters. Blisters should be left to dry out on their own, so don't try to burst them. However if they do burst, apply a clean dressing.

Happy birthday Kiss !

For the Salon’s 7th birthday celebrations, Kiss Hair, Nails and Beauty Salon in Las Rampas Fuengirola held an open day complete with barbecue, salads and plenty of pink champagne to keep the party going. Demonstrations of how your nails could look once they’d been given the Kiss treatment were carried out and there were plenty of bookings by onlookers who were impressed by the results. Reflexology (pictured below) was carried out by the salon’s specialist and customers commented how marvelous their feet felt after treatment following a hard day’s shopping. Hair was cut, coloured, blow dried and one young lady tried a “pin-up” where her hair was turned into an elegant French plait with what seemed to be little effort under the expert hands of one of the girls who work at Kiss. Many people turned up throughout the day to partake of some free massages and to watch demonstrations. Over 400 raffle tickets were sold and the prizes included everything from a simple cut, to full pamper packages of massage, facial, manicure, pedicure - in fact everything you needed to take all your cares away and make you feel like a true princess. The girls (pictured above) said that, although it had been a long and tiring day, the number of people who had turned up to wish them a Happy Birthday had made it all worthwhile.

Tom Cowan In reply to last week’s query from Brenda Patrick. I had a UK disabled drivers permit and continued to use it when I took up permanent residence in Spain, with no problems. When that permit was nearing expiry I obtained an Andalucian permit and have used that when visiting the UK, with no problems. I am sure a permit issued in the EC is valid in all EC countries as long as it is not time-expired. How did I obtain a Andalucian permit? I asked my doctor in Las Lagunas medical centre, Fuengirola who provided me with a requisition for disability assessment and referred me to the social security section in the same centre. The social

by email security section then arranged an appointment for me at Centro de Valoracion y Orientacion, plaza Diego Vazquez, Otero 5, Edificio Torre Almenara, Malaga. I attended the Centro de Valoration bearing, as requested, all relevant documentary evidence of disability and income, together with my Residencia and certificate of Empardronamiento. There, I was subjected to financial and medical examination to determine whether I qualified for financial assistance as well as my degree of disability. The Centro de Valoration later sent me a certificate of degree of disability (35%), valid for 5

years. I then presented that certificate, together with a couple of passport sized photos to the Distrito Sanitario, C La Union near Las Lagunas, Fuengirola and there applied for a disabled drivers permit (Tarjeta De Aparcamiento), which I eventually received valid for 10 years. This all happened over a period of 4 months in 2003 and procedures may have since changed. It was a frustrating, bureaucratic process but worth it as the permit was valid for 10 years and renewal will probably be less painful.Hope this helps, good luck.

Do you believe in aliens? You wouldn’t believe how many times I get asked that question, so rather than answer with a simple yes or no I always try to throw it back to the asker to let them ponder.

T Alan Grieve I really must take issue with your correspondent, Arthur Webster, (by email, The News, Opinion & Comment, Wednesday, May 11th, 2011), who appears to be lambasting Facebook because of his own limitations. I have been a Facebook user almost since it began. I spend far too much time on Facebook almost every day. I have learned to 'manage' my Facebook account so I don't have to deal with the

Belfast spam which seems to be upsetting your correspondent. To receive these spam messages, he must be accepting or agreeing to receive them, then not bothering to delete said acceptance after satisfying his curiosity to whatever is behind the headline that he so desperately needed to see. It is perfectly easy to click on the 'accept' button, have a wee look at the link, then click on 'my account', and

cancel the acceptance you just agreed to. I think that his rant is very unfair to Facebook and its millions of users. Just because you didn't learn to drive a car, but drove one into a tree, doesn't mean you should bad-mouth the builder of that car. I think Arthur Webster should consider accepting his own mis-management of his Facebook account, and write a retraction of his slur on Facebook.

he Universe is unimaginably large, in fact it probably goes on for infinity, that is to say it has no ending. It contains billions and billions of galaxies, each galaxy containing billions of stars. It has been said that there are more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on every beach and desert in the world. p to now astronomers have discovered 551 planets orbiting around other stars. This may not sound like many but the first one was only discovered in 1995, but now that we have the equipment and also the technique to find them the number is going up almost daily. Conservative estimates put the final figure at over 50 billion planets in our galaxy alone. If you think about multiplying that number throughout the whole of the Universe then the number of planets is…well, astronomical. ut what we need is not just any old planet, the Eureka moment will come when we discover the ‘Goldilocks’ planet, one that is not too hot, not too cold, not too big and not too small, just right to harbour life. n our own solar system there are 8 very different planets with almost 150 moons between them, each moon unique in its own way. One of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, is completely covered in a crust of ice; below the ice is a liquid ocean. NASA intends to send a probe within the next decade to penetrate the ice and search for life in the waters below. Europa currently stands as the most likely candidate to support life. ut what is life? 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth are now extinct, so the word ‘life’ has a variety of meanings. It could be anything from the tiniest bacteria through plants, fish, reptiles, mammals right up to advanced civilisations that we would recognise as ‘life as we know it’. And if we did discover alien life could we communicate with it? We have trouble understanding other humans who live only a few hundred miles

B I

from us in another country, and apart from yelling a few instructions at the dog to ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ or ‘rollover’ we cannot even communicate with other life forms on our home planet, so being able to communicate with another life from another planet in another solar system seems very difficult indeed. nd this is before we take into account the vast distances involved. The nearest star to us is 4 ½ light years away so a message sent there would take 9 years to return to us. If we had found life on a fairly close star a mere 1000 light years away then if Jesus had sent them a message we would only just be receiving their reply now, and that’s if we remembered to listen out for it! here is an agency called SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) that has been monitoring the cosmos for the last 50 years looking for that one unique signal that will eventually answer the question ‘are we alone?’ believe there has got to be life out there somewhere, but as for little green men in flying saucers then no; I don’t believe they are coming all this way and not making themselves known to us. That is not to say that they haven’t been here in the past, the Earth has been around for a very long time and there is no reason to think that aliens should appear only now just at the exact time for us to be technically advanced enough to comprehend their visit. hat do you think, is it more disturbing to think that there is alien life or that we truly are all alone on our little blue planet in this massive Universe?

Spanish racing cyclist dies in accident Movistar team rider Xavier Tondo has been killed in a freak accident at a ski resort in southern Spain. The 32-year-old Spaniard was crushed between his car and a garage door as he prepared to set off for training, local police said. Tondo finished sixth in the Vuelta a Espana in 2010 and won the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon in April."He was an incredible person who loved this sport more than anyone," said Tour de France champion Alberto Contador.

Vettel steals the show in Barcelona

New circuit opens for business

But it was home favourite Fernando Alonso setting the track alight early on crucial moves in traffic on his out-lap after the first stop to stay close to Alonso – dived in to make his second stop one lap sooner than Alonso and was able to get ahead and into the lead.

The Blyton Park Driving Centre is now officially open following a successful launch attended by 75 invited guests and hosted by the entrepreneur and enthusiast behind it, Richard Usher. The open day saw a wide range of cars take to the pristine new 1.5-mile asphalt circuit, which garnered much praise for its challenging yet safe nature.

The second round of stops would also prove to be the turning point of the race for Hamilton, who had got ahead of Webber in the first round of stops to lie third, but staying out on track a number of laps longer before making his second stop, the Briton got ahead of Alonso and then set about chasing down Vettel for the remainder of the race. Hamilton closed on Vettel as the race wore on but despite the fact that Vettel was only able to use his KERS intermittently, the McLaren was unable to find a way through. More than once, Hamilton found himself close enough to utilise his DRS on the startfinish straight, but Vettel wasn't to be beaten on this day, finding more speed in the middle sector to just keep Hamilton at bay and frustrated. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Jenson Button took a brilliant third place and podium spot but only after a disastrous start to the race, where he was out of shape at the first corner and

Mijas bowls news Recently the members of Mijas Bowl’s club went to visit Posada Bowls club. It is a new Bowls club in Alameda, situated not far from Antequera off the A45. The club is part of a lovely complex and has a good bowling green. We played on five rinks in perfect weather. The members made us all feel very welcome, and we enjoyed an excellent match with Mijas winning four of the five games. We then had a lovely

lunch provided by the ladies of Posada bowls, and we look forward to seeing them in the future to return their generosity. It’s nearly summer and from the beginning of June we change to evening bowling and have our barbeque after the game on Thursdays. Anyone who wants to come and join us for a game will be made welcome. We have a full calendar during the summer and social events every

month. The summer championships’ are at our club this year from September 17th to 26th. The Ball and Chain competition is from October 3rd to 6th. We hope to get a good response to both competitions.

slipped down to tenth by the end of the opening lap. A decision to run a three-stop strategy compared to the four stops favoured by the cars around him, proved to be key to Button making up places as he found himself on the quicker option (soft) tyres mid-way through the race while others had swapped to the harder prime tyres. Storming through to overtake both Alonso and Webber on one lap, Button then enjoyed an untroubled run to the finish as Webber was unable to respond – leaving the pole-sitter nearly 50 seconds behind the winner in fourth.

“I am overwhelmed by the unanimously positive response to what we have done with Blyton,’ said a delighted Usher, who has so far invested around half a million pounds rejuvenating the facility near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. “I built the track so that people could come here and enjoy their cars, a pastime that’s increasingly difficult on our roads.” The day saw everything from Autograss buggies to rally cars to road cars to a

Lola Formula One car lapping the newly laid track. The fine selection of historic rally cars included original Escorts, Mick Strafford’s unique Chevy-powered Firenza and Steve Perez’s lurid and loud Lancia Stratos. Phil Morrison of Driftworks explored the outer reaches of the asphalt in his Nissan Silvia S15, and Callum Macleod wowed the crowd when he demonstrated David Harrison’s DFVpowered Larousse Lola SC88. The former Second World War US bomber base has been used for various forms of motorsport for around 50 years and the local Grass Track racing club still occupies a part of the site. It’s hoped that the new asphalt track, designed by ex-touring car ace Eugene O’Brian and journalist John Barker, will be sanctioned for Sprint meetings. The track is now open for bookings for track days and general testing.

Leading by 0.7secs at the end of the opening lap, Alonso was able to keep his advantage over the Red Bull pair to the second round of pitstops. However, Vettel – who had made a series of

the

Test match at the Oval Poulter stays cool on On a perfect day at the stunning Cartama Oval the 22 players, the Costa to take title all graduates of the publicised Open Days, formed two teams for a competitive but friendly game of 30 over cricket. The teams ranged in age from 18 to Bus Pass and included no less than 5 different nationalities and a couple of Yorkshiremen thrown in! Team A, skippered by Phil Nuttall, won the toss and elected to bat. Phil’s team amassed a total of 160/6 in their allotted overs with Tony Crooks contributing 29 of those, Phil Nuttall a solid 26, with healthy support from Craig Cooke(14) and Nick Helme 14 not out.However to prove that there is a lot of improvement to be made the top score was provided by Extras! Far too many. Team B, skippered by Peter Winter, started their innings with a flurry - Tom Tobin(37) and Rayeez(47) putting on a stand of 70 in 12 overs before Tom hollowed out at long on. Although there were further contributions by Peter Winter (21)run out by an over eager Tim Meal(14) Team B couldn't keep up the required run rate, finishing on 150/8. Match of the day highlights

were Phil Flaxman's super wicket keeping, Paul Rogers two wickets in two balls, Deryck Foster with a wicket and a catch, Ray Fry's mobility in the field, Les Warr's first appearance, Stuart Hilton's near beheading, Chris Litchfield’s amazing one handed catch, Deano with his tight bowling, Charley Hepburn with his one wicket and Golden Duck, Gazza Crouch proving on two occasions in the same over that a human being is no contest for the hardness of a cricket ball at speed, Tom Pelham and Rafael Aranda for their cat like performances in the field. A big thank you to Mick

Button and David (hope you made it home in time for the Rugby) McLeary for umpiring and David Cooper for once again providing such fabulous facilities. Details of the next games to be published shortly.

Luke Donald missed out on becoming world number one after losing to Ian Poulter at the Volvo World Match Play Championship final at Finca Cortesin in Casares, Spain. Poulter, 35, rode his luck throughout the event, frequently coming from behind to stay in contention before disposing of a weary Donald by 2&1 to collect the winners cheque for €800,000. Both finalists are renowned matchplay exponents with Poulter the WGC Accenture World Champion in 2010, and Donald the reigning champion of that event. However, taking more than three hours and 50 minutes for the 17 holes, the final was a scrappy affair. The turning point in the match came when Poulter holed a mammoth 50-foot putt for a birdie on the 12th green to level. He then went on to recover from a fairway bunker to less than a metre to go ahead at the 14th before Donald missed an easy opportunity to level proceedings by threeputting from 20 feet at the next. Poulter accepted the

Essex’s Graham Napier

The 31-year-old hit an astonishing 196 off 130 balls on his return to the first-class game after an 11-month absence due to a careerthreatening back fracture. Symonds had achieved the feat while playing for Gloucestershire against Glamorgan in 1995. "It's an honour (to hold the record) and a good bat helps.

I had an idea I was close to the world record for hitting sixes when I saw the figures at lunch time. I knew it was just around the corner," Napier, was quoted as saying. "I probably don't have the restrictions some batsmen do, that when they hit a boundary they look for a one - I tend to look for two or three more," he added. All-rounder Napier, who also holds the record for sixes in a Twenty20 innings, was last man out for Essex after also sharing a ninthwicket stand of 190 with Chris Wright, who contributed 34. He fell short of claiming the outright record when he skied an attempted pull off Stuart Meaker and was caught by home wicketkeeper Steve Davies.

Napier's knock prompted Essex coach Paul Grayson to declare: "That was just unbelievable."

"I played 108 holes to win this title and it’s always wearing playing the best players in the world", said Poulter, who moves up to 15th in the world rankings.

"This is a great boost after a slightly frustrating season and also as it has come on my son Luke’s seventh birthday." Poulter had set up by Maresca. Malaga should have been 2 up after Coin’s own Juanmi was put through, only to be denied by Pinto. Just before half time Eliseu was harshly adjudged to have bought down Barca’s Bojan, and he duly stepped up to equalise.

let-off by again knocking his approach shot to the 16th to within gimme range and made sure of taking the title and prize, with a nine-footer for a half and the match at the short 17th.

In the second half Barca's team of youngsters grew in confidence, and Afellay was a constant threat. The Holland international has been limited to bit-part appearances in his Barca career so far, but he impressed as a starter in this match and scored his first goal for the Catalan club -

Hampshire 'tiger sighting' alarm A stuffed toy animal led to a large-scale police operation in Hampshire and stopped play at the Rose Bowl cricket ground. The alarm was first raised by a concerned member of the public who believed there was an escaped white tiger hiding in a field near Hedge End. Officers were sent to the scene along with a helicopter and thermal imaging cameras, at about 1600 BST on Saturday. When no body heat was detected police moved in and found a cuddly toy tiger.
