Longer hours and cuts - National News
Teachers' strikes heat up election The first day of strikes that will be spread out over the next week kicked off in Madrid on Tuesday, with more than 19,000 teachers in schools across the Community expected to participate. A Madrid regional government spokesman said only 43 per cent had answered the call though the unions put the figure at between 70 and 80 per cent.

WORLD Teachers' strikes Bad hair day?
heat up election
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
Have you had a look at our fantastic cruise Readers Offers on page 12? They are brilliant value and you can save hundreds of pounds so, if you’re a regular cruiser or if you are someone who has always fancied it - have a look now and make your dreams come true! We had Angels nursing Group come to the office the other day that supply a service to keep people safe. The general idea is that you have a small box somewhere in your house or apartment and you have a small alarm pendant so that if, for instance, you are taken ill and you either live on your own or everybody else is out and you can’t get help for yourself, you press the alarm which goes through to a central emergency office and, almost instantly they have who you are, exactly where you live and your total medical history pops up on their screens. If you’re in the house they can talk to you via the box and, if you’ve fallen over at the end of the garden or in the garage they will be able to get help to you plus they will translate anything that needs to be communicated to the ambulance personnel or doctor. I thought this was a good idea for anybody of any age and not just if you’re retired. let’s face it, if you’re on your own at any age, you could trip over the cat or fall ill and be in trouble. neat idea, eh? We will soon be starting a questions and answers section on the Health and Beauty pages so, if you have any beauty problems why not email them to us at editorial@thenewsonline.es, phone them in to us on 952 454 491, or write to us at the address on page 3 and we’ll do our best to get them answered for you by our inhouse expert. I didn’t get to my slimming class last week as I unfortunately had to have one of my cats put to sleep and they come first. Tiggy was 15-years-old and very sick but it’s still not easy.
Esperanza Aguirre told reporters on Tuesday that she wouldn't be surprised if Socialist Party candidate Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba is encouraging the strikes in an attempt to reduce the number of votes the Partido Popular expects to get in Madrid in the November 20th general election. The capital has been a PP stronghold for decades. Sra Aguirre's education councillor, Lucia Figar, echoed her belief during a television interview. She said Sr Rubalcaba and the unions will try to extend the conflict to election day as part of their strategy to try to win Madrid for the Socialists. On Monday, Sra Aguirre had enraged teachers by saying that although education is obligatory and free in certain age
groups, “maybe it shouldn't be free and obligatory in subsequent age groups". Free-butvoluntary schooling in Spain is currently available for three-to-16-year-olds, students studying the Baccalaureate and vocational training. She had upset teachers last week by accusing them of complaining about working "just" 20 hours per week — the amount of contact time teachers clock in a working week of 37.5 hours. According to a recent report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on education in its 34 member countries, Spanish secondary school teachers work fewer hours (1,425 a school year) than the OECD countries' average of 1,660 and spend fewer days in their
classrooms – 176 as opposed to 185. There are also fewer pupils per teacher (8.6 to 13.5) and they earn more (€46,000 a year) than their OECD counterparts (€37,000). Meanwhile, teachers in Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucia, the Balearic Islands, CastillaLeon, Extremadura, Murcia and Melilla also took strike action on Tuesday, to be followed by strikes in the other regions in the next few days.
Back in the UK Unions have called on a nationwide "day of action" for November 30th, which threatens to disrupt public services across the UK. Strikes, rallies and other events will be held in protest at the government's decision to increase workers' pension
contribution payments. If the strikes go ahead it will be the "biggest trade union mobilisation for a generation", said TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber. Chancellor George
Osborne has said union leaders are being "deeply irresponsible". He urged unions to "get back to the negotiating table" and make an agreement over public sector pensions.
Billing to educate patients and save money Madrid is the latest region to adopt the so-called shadow billing (factura sombra, which you're not expected to pay) to show people how much medical attention costs, in the hope that they will use the health services in a more rational way and save money for the regional governments. Shadow bills are already being handed out in selected hospitals in
Andalucia, Valencia and Galicia, with mixed results. Some hospitals have reported that they confuse patients, especially the older ones, who think they're expected to pay amounts of money they can't afford. Others see just how much their “free” medical care is costing the authorities and are beginning to resist the temptation to rush to the

Govt calls for 'intolerance' After the deaths of three women over the weekend, the government's delegate for gender violence, Miguel Lorente, said official institutions and organisations, and Spanish society itself, should not “tolerate the fear and shame” of the victims of gender violence. Sr Lorente also said that to confront this “social evil”, it is necessary to question the social model that, in his opinion, “generates lopsided relations of power”. Two women died at the hands of their partners on Sunday – one in Arona, Tenerife, and the other in Lora de Rio, Sevilla province. The body of the third
woman who had disappeared in Amposta, Tarragona province, last Thursday, was found the same day. The partners of all three women are under arrest.

Patients 'needn't worry'
'Meet the public' plan a success
Residents return home after fire More than 1,000 people who were forced out of their homes on Sunday as a forest fire raged just 20-odd kilometres from Formentera, the capital of Ibiza, were allowed to return after the blaze was brought under control on Monday afternoon. Only one of the 800 houses scattered around the golf course at Roca Llisa was destroyed. The gardens, porches and walls of another six were slightly burned. It was the second serious fire on the island this summer.
The other candidates running in the November 20th general election are using party rallies as a way of getting their message across but Rosa Diez of the Union, Progress and Democracy party (UP&D) is also adding a personal touch. She has set aside Tuesday mornings to meet members of the public at the party's headquarters in Madrid to deal with their questions and concerns about the political situation. Thirtyfive people turned up last week for the first session, most of them from Madrid and surrounding towns
but one woman doctor had travelled all the way from Cadiz. She was among the 15 Sra Diez saw that morning and the remaining 20 were given appointments for this week. According to the news reports, they all went away happy, even those who would have to return. A UP&D spokesman said the effort was worthwhile because the people who go away satisfied after talking to the candidate will end up convincing family and friends to vote for her as well.
The Ministry of Health said on Saturday that it does not believe the Roche pharmaceutical company will stop supplying medication to Spanish hospitals as it has done in Greece, because of the money it is owed there. Roche president Sverin Schwan said in an interview published in the Wall Street Journal on Saturday said the company may cut supplies to other countries, and specifically mentioned Spain. A Ministry source said steps had already been taken to guarantee that the health service would continue operating normally. “Spain is not Greece�, he added.

España is trying to stop second-hand imports in order to sell more motorbikes through its official dealers.

Wealth tax approved The Cabinet has restored the wealth tax that was put on hold in 2007 but it is not quite clear just how many people will have to pay it. Public Works minister José Blanco has said 90,000 wealthy individuals will have to contribute but Economy minister Elena Salgado put the number at an estimated 160,000 people with assets of over €700,000. The tax is expected to bring in over €1 billion, which will be used to create jobs for young people. that some people like to get bikes from the US because they think of them as more authentic. There is no problem with imported second-hand bikes as a whole, only with illegal ones." Importers stressed they follow the guidelines and change everything that has to be changed before taking the bikes to the MOT to make them legal to ride. They said one or two bikes might get through without being properly adapted –
but not as many as 5,000. Spain is one of the top markets in Europe for Harleys which became a cult machine here as a result of the 1969 classic road movie Easy Rider, starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Most Harley owners are in their forties or older, but younger Spaniards are also beginning to show an interest. Barcelona has become the European city in which most new Harleys are sold.

Much ado about a wig The Guardia Civil were called in last week to referee a dispute between Mayor Aurelia Palomares and, she claimed, a majority of townspeople who wanted the Virgin of Tejeda to wear a wig for her annual procession through the town, and the opposing party led by the local priest. The Virgin had always worn a wig in the past and the mayor said “a priest can’t change that because it suits him”. The Guardia backed the mayor and the Virgin duly went out bewigged. ALICANTE

Guardia against later retirement
The Unified Guardia Civil Association (AUGC) is opposed to a measure approved by the government to raise the agents' retirement age to 65 until problems affecting the institution are solved. An AUGC statement said
the government was once again patching over the institution's real problems without having studied them in depth. It said the retirement age could not be raised without specifying the positions agents older than 50 – the
age at which they can currently retire – should occupy. “The very idea of a 50-year-old Guardia being able to run after a delinquent 30 years younger and catch him is simply too ridiculous for words.”

Titanic necklace stolen from expo
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered to hold direct talks with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas (pictured) at the UN General Assembly in a move aimed at stopping Mr Abbas from launching his UN membership request. Mr Abbas said he was willing to meet Mr Netanyahu but was determined to push ahead with a bid for UN recognition of a Palestinian state. The US and Israel oppose the bid and there has been intense diplomacy to avert a crisis over the move. Peace talks between the Palestinians
and Israel broke down a year ago. The Palestinians are seeking international recognition of their state based on the borders that existed in 1967, which would give them the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Israel and the US have said a Palestinian state can only be achieved through
Officials said 12.3 million people were affected in Sichuan, Henan and Shaanxi provinces — in the south-west, centre and north of China. They said the flooding in Sichuan was expected to be the worst since records
the Palestinians argue that it would strengthen their hands in peace talks with Israel, especially on the final status issues that divide them. These are the precise location of the border, the status of Jerusalem, the right of return of Palestinian refugees, water, and security.
Rescuers struggle to reach quake victims

direct negotiation, but the Palestinian leadership says this approach has got them nowhere. Mr Abbas has said he will launch the process on Friday, when he submits a written request to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon after his address to the General Assembly. UN recognition would have largely symbolic value, but
began in 1847. Crops have been damaged, harvests have been delayed and more than 120,000 houses have collapsed. Economic losses are estimated at £1.7 billion, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said. China continues to be badly affected by flooding every year. Last year's floods — the worst in a decade — killed or left missing more than 4,000 people.
Rescue workers in the Indian state of Sikkim are struggling to reach victims of Sunday's powerful Himalayan earthquake. The magnitude 6.9 quake struck the mountainous state of Sikkim at 18:10 (12:40 GMT) on Sunday and was followed by two strong aftershocks. More than 70 people were killed, at least 40 of them in Sikkim. The quake was felt elsewhere in India, as well as in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. The earthquake triggered numerous landslides which crushed homes and blocked roads. Troops and road workers managed to restore the main highway linking Sikkim with the rest of
India, but elsewhere explosives are being used to unblock roads. Officials said the biggest challenge is reaching those villages in the most isolated areas amid fears that people may still be trapped under debris. Similar efforts were under way in Nepal and Tibet. Nepal's government said seven people had died, including two men and a child who were killed when a wall of the British Embassy collapsed in the capital, Kathmandu. China's official Xinhua news agency said that seven people had died and 24 others had been injured in Tibet. Landslides have also disrupted power and water supplies.

Ban on gays in US military ends The "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning open homosexuality in the US military has been repealed after nearly two decades. Service members can now reveal they are gay without fear of investigation or discharge. The US Congress voted last year to repeal the law, which was introduced in 1993 under the Clinton administration. Under the policy, gay people were permitted to serve as long as they did not openly acknowledge their sexual orientation, while commanders were not allowed to ask. Pentagon
press secretary George Little told reporters on Monday that the Department of Defense was fully prepared for repeal, and that 97% of military personnel had received training on the new law. The armed forces have been accepting applications from openly gay recruits for a number of weeks and will begin processing them now that the new law has taken effect. The military has also published a revised set of
regulations, without references to any ban against homosexual service members. Pending investigations, discharges and other administrative proceedings have now been dropped and those who were discharged under the don't ask, don't tell rule are entitled to re-enlist. "Repeal Day" parties have been organised across the country to mark the victory for gay rights.
Europe failing Libya's refugees European Union countries have "shamefully failed" to help thousands of refugees stranded near Libya's borders, according to Amnesty International. In its report — Europe, Now It Is Your Turn to Act — Amnesty strongly criticises EU governments over their failure to act on the refugee issue. The human
rights group said that about 1,000 people are still stranded in Egypt's Saloum camp and another 3,800 people in Tunisia's Choucha camp. The refugees are living in "harsh conditions" and cannot go back to their home countries because they face "a real risk of persecution". Nicolas
Beger, director of Amnesty's European Institutions Office, said: the response has been “abysmal”. So far only eight nations of the 27member EU — Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Portugal and Sweden — have offered to take less than 700 refugees.

UK News No test lout kills again Graeme Eden, 31, has been jailed for seven years and banned from driving for ten years by Judge Brian Foster at Newcastle Crown Court for causing the death of a passenger, his long-term partner Victoria Little, 30. She was the mother of a nine-year-old girl, worked as a carer and died from multiple injuries sustained after he lost control of the car while “accelerating violently past a roundabout” in his Toyota GT4. The crash happened in November 2010 on the A183 Chester Road, Penshaw near Sunderland. Eden has never passed his driving test but owned high performance cars which he had a habit of driving at speeds beyond his capabilities. His partner's mother Sheila Bainbridge had previously warned him to
slow down when she accompanied him in the Celica when driving on the same stretch of road. She said he was a speed freak and that he had driven so recklessly on that occasion that she felt sick afterwards. "Despite my shouting and screaming he would not slow down," the court heard she told police. "He would not take any notice of what I was saying as an experienced driver." Eden had previously caused the death of a pillion passenger, John Hancock, on his Yamaha 600 motorbike in 2002 after drinking ten pints of lager the previous evening at a biker rally. He died after they both came off the bike when he hit a wall. On that occasion he was convicted of causing death by careless driving under the influence of alcohol.

Glen Gatland, prosecuting, said: "Eden was a learner driver driving a potent and fast motorcar showing off in adverse conditions to his long-time partner and that behaviour caused her untimely death." Eden of Halesworth Drive, Sunderland, did not react as he was sentenced.

Mark Crook, 39, the third victim of an arson fire in Chatham, Kent, has died in East Grinstead Hospital. The fire also claimed the lives of his daughter Melissa, aged 20 and her 15-month-old son Noah the previous week. His wife Amanda, 49 and son Bohdan, 21, had also been injured in the blaze but had been released from hospital following treatment. Melissa’s estranged husband Danai Muhammadi, 23 and his friend, Farhad Muhmud, 35, had already been charged with two counts of murder and it is expected that the charge will be amended to include the death of Mr Crook. Muhammadi’s girlfriend, Emma Smith, 21, has been charged with conspiracy to murder and arson with intent to endanger life. All three have been remanded in custody to appear in court for a plea hearing on November 25th. A fourth man was released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Twins separated 11-month-old conjoined twin girls, Rital and Ritag Gbora were finally separated after four operations at Great ormond Children’s Hospital London. The twins who were born in Khartoum, Sudan to Abdel Majeed, 31 and wife Enas, 27, who are both doctors, arrived in the UK in April. The parents contacted the charity Facing The World for help to find the right people to carry out the operation on the girls who were suffering from cranipagus and Ritag’s heart was failing. The craniofacial team led by David Dunaway donated their services and the girls had two operations in May including the insertion of tissue expanders. The final operation to separate them gave them a 10,000,000 to one chance of both girls surviving but it was announced on Monday that within days they had been transferred to a general ward and were playing happily as usual together. The parents said: We are very grateful to be able to look forward to being able to return home with two healthy separate girls. The charity said: “Their laughter and delight in their new world has been an inspiration throughout all the months of worry.” UK

Protecting his family Homeowner Vincent Cooke, 39, had two men break into his home in Bramhall, Stockport — an affluent area of mostly large, detached houses. At the time the two men broke in, Mr Cooke was home alone and was threatened by the intruders. Then his wife Karen and their twelve-year-old son returned while the incident was in progress and one of the intruders, reported to be a man named Raymond Jacob (although police have not confirmed the name) was stabbed by Mr Cooke. Mrs Cooke and their son escaped unharmed and the other intruder fled the scene in a white Citroen van. He was later arrested. An ambulance was called to the scene where paramedics tried to revive the injured intruder but he was pronounced dead. Mr Cooke was then arrested on suspicion of murder. A neighbour said that the family hadn’t lived in the area for very long adding: “I can’t imagine anything like that happening here. If you have children though, you will do anything to protect them and your home.”

Mijas to have stricter fire laws To avoid the devastation caused by last week's fire, Mijas council intends to ban the lighting of any type of fire in specially protected areas all year round.
ree killed in helicopter crash Three people died when a Bell-42 helicopter crashed in La Peza, Granada province, on Monday. It belonged to a company based in Cordoba and was on its way to the Infoca fire fighting base in Alhama in Almeria as a substitute for another helicopter which was being overhauled. The
company said the helicopter had been completely overhauled and serviced on September 7th and at press time was unable to give a cause for the crash. The helicopter
burst into flames on impact. Two bodies were found inside it but the third one had been thrown clear and was not found until a few hours later.
This will include smoking, as well as barbecues and bonfires. Town planning councillor Manuel Navarro said home owners in the campo would have to keep their land clear of dry vegetation and this would also apply to gardens in the urban area. He said firefighters last week had been hampered by fences and other barriers and said
all properties would be inspected to avoid similar situations in the future. Mijas is one of the top fireprone areas in the country. Ten years ago, some 700 hectares were devastated by a fire which was started by a car engine blowing up near an area of dry vegetation. Since 1991 records show that there were 415 fires in the Mijas
area – an average of 20 a year – out of a total of 4,743 fires in the whole province during the same period.
Losing cities create network Representatives from the five Spanish cities – Cordoba, Zaragoza, Las Palmas, Burgos and Segovia – that were not named European Capital of Culture 2016 on June 28th this year met in the Andalucian provincial capital on Monday to
create a network for a joint promotion of their cultural activities to take advantage of the great efforts made by all five to win the title. When the title went to San Sebastian, the five cities had asked for a “recount”, claiming that
the decision to choose the Basque city was a political not a cultural one, and that the international jury had been 'leaned on'. However, the ensuing investigation concluded that San Sebastian had won the title fairly and squarely.
e Telegraph focuses on Coin For the first time ever, Coin was the subject of a news story in The Telegraph last week under the title 'Electricity cut off to Spanish town over unpaid bills'. Coin council owes €280,000 to Endesa which has cut off the electricity supply to certain public buildings and areas. As the article points out, the situation in Coin is illustrative of what is happening in hundreds of towns across the country which are on the verge of
bankruptcy and are struggling to pay council workers' wages, let alone any other bills. New mayor Fernando Fernandez (Partido Popular) has managed to pay his workers half of this months wages and hopes to pay the rest at the end of the month. Last week, he announced that he was calling in independent auditors to find out exactly what the last Socialist council did with the town's money.

‘Treasure’ leads church a merry dance Two weeks ago, a flamenco group hired to perform at a wedding in the Santo Domingo de Guzman church in Lepe, Huelva province, found a letter under a loose tile in the part of the church where they were warming up for their performance. It was dated 1936 and read: “The reds (Republicans) are chasing me, I have hidden my best treasure five tiles to the left. If I die I hope it falls into good hands.” The group handed the letter to the priest who informed the Bishop of Huelva who reported the matter to the local mayor who said it was a church matter and he did not want to get involved. The priest, Father Feliciano
Fernandez, had his doubts about the letter. The paper was old, and had in fact started crumbling when it was first handled, but the handwriting looked too modern. However, the bishop gave the go ahead and last week workmen lifted several tiles but no treasure appeared. Finally, ashamed of the inconvenience they had caused, members of the

Wrong city, minister Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez visited Malaga over the weekend to accept the Socialist Party's nomination to head their regional slate for the November 20th general election. Sra Jimenez was born in Malaga in June, 1962, but her father, a judge, was transferred to the High Court in Madrid when she was in her late teens and she has lived there ever since. Hence reporters almost missed her slip of the tongue when she noted the many delays in getting the Malaga Metro up and running. She said that if elected she would do her best to get the metro works completed “en beneficio de los ciudadanos madrileños” (for the benefit of the people of Madrid). She immediately corrected herself, stressing that she knows the province and all its corners very well.
Spanish take over nudist camp Spanish tourists are no longer a minority at the Almanat nudist camp in this town near Velez-Malaga. Manager Juan Antonio Díaz said that around 80 per cent of the visitors to the camp this summer were from other parts of Spain, especially Andalucia, Madrid, Valencia and the Basque Country. He pointed out that the number of Spaniards holidaying at nudist camps elsewhere had also increased dramatically. Sr Diaz said most of the foreign nudists visiting his camp were from France and Portugal. MALAGA

The hospital offering the best all-round services in 2011 is the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Aljarafe, Sevilla province. BENALMADENA
Dirty dog owners face fines The council has announced that dog owners who do not clean up their pet's droppings will be fined — €750 for the first offence and up to €3,000 for repeat offenders. Health councillor Maria del Carmen Florido said the ayuntamiento receives several complaints a day about dog droppings in the streets, which is “an unsustainable situation for a tourist town and we will not continue to tolerate it”. She said the local police would be in charge of enforcing the ordinance.

The first thing people notice when entering a room is the floor. If your marble floor is graying from wear and ageing, it will create a dull room. Bringing back the beautiful look of your marble’s natural brilliance will always bring a home back to life. Tony’s Marble Restoration Service specialises in marble and terrazzo renovation, bringing out your marble floor’s rich natural grain. Regain the brilliant shine your floors once had and make them dazzle once again. You will be amazed at the transformation from your current dull, dingy marble floors to a beautifully restored, better than new appearance. If your floors were not professionally diamond polished after installation, then you’ve probably never seen them at their best. As time goes by, many fine marble floors become worn, stained and damaged. Tony’s Marble
Restoration uses modern equipment that can undo years of wear and damage. Most stains are removed, even the ones you thought were permanent. It is not generally realised that marble is quite fragile and porous. Left untreated, it can wear quite badly very quickly. Therefore, an equally important reason for having the marble renovated is to seal and protect it, and leave the surface on the marble that is not only a high gloss, non-slip, low maintenance surface, but is considerably harder than the marble itself.
The property market on the Costa del Sol is not moving very rapidly at the moment. Polishing your floors will make your property far more attractive to a potential purchaser. Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Tony’s Marble Polishing and Restoration Services have served as possibly the most affordable on the Costa del Sol for over 10 years.

The Otegi dilemma
W
ith the conviction and sentence of Batasuna’s longtime spokesperson Arnaldo Otegi, members of the Basque “abertzale” radical movement have been left with a bitter taste in their mouths. Just as the abertzale left was making political inroads, winning support and capturing elected posts throughout the Basque Country and Navarre, the courts delivered a vicious blow. Otegi and four others were found guilty and sentenced to jail terms of up to 10 years last Friday after the High Court found they had been members of ETA or had close ties to the armed terrorist group. The conviction apparently didn’t come as surprise to Otegi. He reportedly left word with the abertzale to continue on their charted course in the hopes of winning more elected posts, and maybe even five seats in parliament, come November 20th, when the general elections are scheduled. El Pais sources say that Otegi has asked them to release a public statement demonstrating their willingness to continue to reject violence and seek peaceful means to finding a political solution for Basque independence.
ith just over eight weeks to go to the general election on November 20th, it's time to start giving more background about the main runners. Foreigners can't vote in a general election, but like everyone else they have to put up with the winner for at least the next four years, so I'm going to concentrate on Mariano Rajoy and Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba. The candidate I like best – Rosa Diez of the Union, Progress and Democracy (UP&D) – doesn't stand a chance of winning but hopefully she'll get more seats this time around. As for the other minority party candidates, usually nationalists, if any one of them were to win I'd be advising you all to pack your bags and run. The very thought of a Catalan or Basque nationalist running the country makes me shudder.
I
know a lot of readers will think I'm all for Rajoy, and I would be if Zapatero were still in the running, but I quite like Rubalcaba – I have a soft spot for wily old foxes – and I also believe you shouldn't kick a man when he's down. It will be the biggest upset in democratic voting history here in Spain if he wins, though I suppose some people out there still believe in miracles. But the biggest obstacle in Rubalcaba's way is that he belongs to the same party as Zapatero and an awful lot of people want to bury him and his government as far under as possible.
W
ith the opinion polls in his favour for months now, Rajoy has been careful not to put his foot in it. He leaves the more inflammatory remarks to Javier Arenas, who is expected to win Andalucia for the Partido Popular, and he also has two feisty ladies by his side – Castilla-La Mancha premier Maria Dolores de Cospedal and PP parliamentary spokeswoman Soraya Saenz de Santamaria – who are never at a loss for words and just love slinging political mud around, leaving Rajoy's hands clean. In fact, I've always felt that one of Rajoy's biggest drawbacks is that he is too much of a gentleman to be the prime minister of a country where people love a wicked tongue.
B
ut he drew out all the big guns on Monday when he presented his biography “En Confianza” (In Confidence) to the public. According to the critics, he gives little away about his private life but he's always kept his family out of the limelight. I haven't read the
book yet and don't know that I ever will but I gather the key word is moderation. Even when he was a minister in the Aznar government he was a moderate and this trait has distanced him from his former boss, who has been moving steadily to the right since he opted not to run in the 2004 election.
H
owever, Aznar and all the PP's big guns, both past and present, were among the 600 people who attended the presentation. And very tellingly, so were all the country's top businessmen. During his speech, Rajoy said dividing people for political ends is very dangerous and that if people could be persuaded to pull together for the good of all, it would be possible to start talking about “optimism” again. That's a far cry from what's been happening here in recent years.
I
doubt that Rajoy's expected victory has anything to do with politics but a lot to do with a desire for change – any change at all – in the hope that things will start getting better. I don't think the Spanish expect a miracle but they definitely need something to lift their spirits.
A
recent article in El Pais titled “Who do the Spanish trust?”reveals that they've never trusted so many so little as they do now. Politicians are way down on the list of people to be trusted but they're savvy enough to believe that it's the economic crisis which is eroding the quality of democracy (67 per cent) and not any political party in particular. They also suspect that it's not governments who rule but “the markets”. The Spanish have been learning some hard political and economic lessons recently and we can only hope that their politicians have been learning along with them.
W
I
t may not be easy for many abertzale hardliners to follow Otegi’s wishes, even though he has been seen as their unofficial leader. They believe that the courts, and especially the government, are not giving them a chance to demonstrate their commitment to engage in peaceful politics. The Otegi sentence left them staggered; they didn’t believe the High Court would be so hard on him. But past criminal actions cannot be overlooked. As the entire world continues to await some signal from a badly weakened ETA to finally announce its definite surrender after a 50-year violent struggle, there is concern that the Otegi conviction may have put things on the backburner.
N
ow comes the government’s intentions to ensure that the abertzale’s new formation, the Sortu, doesn’t win its appeal before the Constitutional Court to become a legalised party. Prosecutors continue to insist – as they did last April before the Supreme Court, which rejected Sortu’s plans to field candidates in the May 22 local and regional elections – that the formation is ETA’s new political wing. Sortu is struggling to get on the November 20th ballot, and if it is allowed to, it could become a strong political force
in the Basque region, wresting power and influence from the conservative Basque Nationalist Party (PNV). This is the abertzale’s dream.
U
ntil then, the abertzale will have to make do with its Bildu coalition – the political force formed though a partnership with the small traditional non-radical parties Eusko Alkartasuna (EA) and Alternatiba last May. It was through Bildu that the radical left was able to capture so many municipalities, including the provincial administrative office in Gipuzkoa last May. Now another non-violent separatist party Aralar has said that it will join the coalition for the upcoming race.
J
udging by Bildu’s success at the ballot box, the abertzale hardliners may find themselves cooling down a bit and looking to form similar partnerships with less radical groups. The problem is that many of the traditional leaders – many long suspected of having ties to ETA – want to be on the November ticket and the government will definitely see to it that their aspirations are quashed.
A wealth of confusion
T
he wealth tax, which was passed by the Cabinet on Friday, is continuing to create a lot of uncertainty. There is some dispute as to the actual number of taxpayers who will have to pay this new rate. At the same time, when the tax was cancelled in 2008, the government made up for the difference to regions, who were sharing in the pot, by giving them €2.1 billion – the same amount the Zapatero government took in the last year the tax was collected. Now Economy Minister Elena Salgado says that there is not enough time to abolish the special financing law and has suggested that the regions would continue to get pay-outs from the special fund. But Socialist candidate Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba corrected her by saying that regions – such as those governed by the Popular Party (PP) which from the start had been against reinstating the wealth tax – that refuse to collect would lose out on their special financing. The government hopes to rake in some €1.08 billion with the tax, which would be in place for this year and in 2012. The new exemption was set at €700,000, up from €120,000 in 2007 the last year it was collected.

Harold is the owner of a full DJ set-up so celebrations took place until the early hours of the morning with music and dancing from all eras until everybody was fit to drop. His wife, Jackie, put on a sumptuous buffet meal for the almost 70 guests, including a huge, fresh paella that was made while people watched, salads of
all kinds, a fabulous honey glazed ham, chicken, fresh salmon, prawns, and a cheese board plus all the wine and spirits people could drink! Harold says: “For all those who came to my 65th birthday party, a big thankyou goes to all for the great company and especially for all the gifts you bought: just some memorable ones are a lovely pair of chaps (no not men!) for my horse riding and a matching belt, and not forgetting, of
course, a gift of 14 bales of hay from Kym the editor of The News and her hubby Geoff, who also helped out Ian Leslie who produced that huge paella. Guess I will really be the cowboy of the campo now wearing all that gear! It was a night to remember!”

Liberty insurance here for you Liberty Seguros renews its media advertising campaign to include Home, Life and Business products Liberty Seguros has begun the second wave of its advertising campaign by promoting, for the first time on television, its Home and Business products. This advertising campaign includes the company’s entire product portfolio as opposed to previous campaigns that focused solely on Motor products. Liberty Seguros remains committed to person-toperson customer service through their mediators and brokers. Under the claim "Human Quality", the company chooses to have real people as customer service representatives over the more commonly used recordings. The television ads and radio spots reflect this with a humorous touch by exaggerating the misunderstandings that occur when attempting to communicate with automated customer service recordings, demonstrating the value of working with professional mediators. The new Liberty Seguros adverts will be broadcast on radio and television, incorporating new channels to its strategy and
exclusive blocks of advertising space on Tele 5, Antena 3 and La Sexta. With the launch of this campaign, the company aims to be among the top five advertisers in the industry. The campaign will expand the company’s advertising reach and through television alone, will reach 70% of the target audience with its entire product portfolio. "We maintain our commitment in supporting person-toperson customer service through our mediators’ professionalism and work. With this campaign we intend to see our home and business products on TV and hear about our Life products on the radio; expanding our advertising efforts which to date has been limited to our Motor products,” says Pablo Robles, director of Liberty Group Marketing Insurance. The campaign was developed by the agency Remo and continues the "Join the fight against the machines" campaign, which received numerous awards, such as, the award for Best Radio Ad of the Year by Anuncios and
Control magazines, the AMPE Gold for best radio campaign of 2009 and the Award for Best Advertising Campaign of the Financial Sector.

COGS Golf Society secretary Andy MacFarlane (pictured left) hit 50 last weekend and to celebrate, had a party at the Sierra Gorda Bistro on Saturday night surrounded by seventy of his friends. Mike and his staff from the Sierra Gorda Bistro produced a buffet of chilli con-carne with rice, spicey chicken wings, quiches, mini sausage rolls, plus a spinach and cheese dip that was beautifully presented in a hollowed out cottage loaf with chunks of bread to dip. Then to top it all off was a tree of cup-cakes (provided by Maureen)in all colours and flavours. Delicious! Entertainment was
provided throughout the evening by Rob Stevens (pictured right). I had heard he was good before the night, but had never actually seen him before. “Good” is nowhere near good enough a word to use for him. He sang everything from Nessan Dorma to Meatloaf and everything in-between, and voice perfect too. Nessan had goose bumps running down people’s spines while Bat out of Hell in full costume had everyone crowding round to get a better view. For both these numbers Rob Stevens got a well-deserved standing ovation — he was magic! A great night out was had by all who went.
Fantastic result Save your life? for PAD golf A lovely sunny September Saturday, perfect for golf! Champagne/bucks fizz on the 10th tee, post competition drinks on the shady terrace,a wonderful dinner with auction and live music in the evening — perfect ingredients for PAD's charity golf competition at Miraflores Golf Club on Saturday September 10th. Beautiful golf prizes were presented in late afternoon by Mags Luffingham who is the Vice President of PAD, and the raffle was drawn, featuring a quirky hand-knitted prize — a very large golfing doll complete with club and balls, aptly named "Mr Miraflores". During the dinner Nigel Goldman conducted one of his many superb auctions,
in itself raising over €1,000. The committee, the volunteers and all associated with PAD would like to thank all those who contributed so generously to the day, including the sponsors for all eighteen holes, the Miraflores club captains, the bar and restaurant staff, not forgetting the players themselves. They say that their very special thanks, however, must go to Robin Spearman who so ably organised the event for the ninth year running. A master in his field! It was all so worthwhile when the magnificent sum of €5,200 was raised, enabling PAD to continue their ongoing care for the many abandoned cats and dogs who arrive at their gates.
We are about to launch a project to create an Association of Freemasons and form a GRAND LODGE

Positively Pink is dedicated to education and early detection and their free screening programme ensures that all British women have access to breast screening.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. It is also one of the most treatable if detected early enough. The lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is one in nine. 44,000 women were diagnosed in the UK alone last year. Lorraine Palmer the founder of the charity believes that “early detection is your protection”. This year’s campaign is sponsored by The Hospital Group,The British Surgical Clinic and Medilink in La Cala de Mijas — all local healthcare businesses who have an ethos of “Working together with our local community because your health really does matter”. It has seen a gold standard screening process that includes a physical examination and medical history followed by a mammogram or ultrasound or, in some
cases, both. The scheme started in mid-July and to date in excess of 200 women have been screened. Over 90 more women are booked in and the service is available until the end of October. Lorraine works tirelessly to ensure that she raises adequate funding so she is able to help as many British women here on the Coast as she can. The main fund raising event is the “Pink Ball” held every October at the fabulous El Oceano Hotel. The Pink Ball will be on Thursday 6th October and promises to be a spectacular evening. For more information on this event call the hotel. Appointments are still available for late September and October so please call Clinica Medicare now on 952 835 776 to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. Editor’s note: I had this done a couple of months ago and there was no fuss, no bother, and no cost — just confirmation that I’m fine. I went through Medilink in La Cala de Mijas.

News Marriage - Gib style Readers offers! You can get married on Gibraltar but there are rules and regulations that have to be followed. Last week we told readers how to go about it. In this, the second part, you will see some other details you will need to consider. Next week we’ll tell you what locations other than the Gibraltar register office are allowed and are suitable for that special day. OTHER DOCUMENTATION In addition to the documentation mentioned in last week’s article, the Registrar may, at his sole discretion, ask for other documents considered necessary. For example, if you are a non-EEA national residing in the EEA, the Registrar may ask you to produce your residence document. MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES If you are a member of the armed forces you will also need to produce your Commanding Officer’s consent in writing. (If you were born or married in the United Kingdom or your spouse passed away in the United Kingdom and you do not have copies of the relevant birth, marriage or death certificates you should contact the General Register Office (GRO) at www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ to order duly certified replacement copies. MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MARRIAGE To initiate the process you will, in the first instance, need to provide the Gibraltar authorities with the required documentation prior to making a provisional booking for the marriage ceremony. You may do this either by attending their offices in person if you are in Gibraltar or by submitting the documents by email or by post. The offices are open to the public:Mondays to Fridays 09:00 to 12:45 (mid September to mid June) and 09:00 to 13:00 (mid June to mid September) If you telephone, office hours are: Mondays to Thursdays 08:45 – 17.30 (mid September to mid June) and Fridays 08:45 – 17.15 Mondays to Fridays 08.00 – 14.30 (mid June to mid September) Gibraltar time is GMT+1 (winter) and GMT+2 (summer) so it is the same as Spanish time. Contact numbers and email address are as follows:Tel : + (350) 200 72289 Fax : + (350) 200 42706 Email marriages.csro@gibraltar.gov.gi A provisional booking may be made for ceremonies to be held within a maximum period of one year from the date of the booking. You will need to indicate whether you wish to be married at the Registry or at one of the approved external locations which The News will give you in next week’s article. (Part three next week)
The News has teamed up with well-known Gibraltar Cruise specialists M H Bland to be able to offer our readers some fantastic discounts on cruises from now until the end of November. With cruises along the Rhine and into the Moselle and Switzerland why not take a well deserved break and relax on board the fantastic boats that cruise the Rhine? Scenery on these cruises is stunning with soaring mountains and sweeping valleys to drift through while enjoying the full onboard meals that cruises are famous for. The offers include all air fares and transfers from the airport to the boat and the only extra is whatever the airline charges for the
luggage you want to take with you and your travel insurance if you haven’t already got it. If you haven’t M H Bland can also arrange that for you! Offers include two different departure dates for a Rhine cruise to Switzerland, a magic Moselle cruise, a four rivers cruise, and three dates to enjoy a Heidelberg and Black Forest Cruise. Savings per cabin with two sharing are from €300 to €500 depending on the cruise, definitely making it worthwhile going on a trial cruise if you haven’t been before – though once you have, most people are absolutely hooked on this form of holidaying!

A morning at the market
Written by Jean Joss
The commercial centre in Coin, La Trocha, is fairly quiet on weekdays but on Sundays the car parks and cafés are seething with visitors to the weekly market.
D
uring the week there are real bargains to be had in the Corte Ingles discount store, if you have the time and the energy to sort through the crammed racks of clothes on offer. There is also a Dunnes Stores and the CHAIN charity shop on the ground floor is well worth a visit – but what we would give for an inland Iceland!

through second-hand clothes in the hope of discovering designer labels at a fraction of the price or pick up enough reading matter to last the winter at 1 euro a book. You can even bring your dog to be clipped or buy fly spray for your horse! The choice is endless …
A
nd it's not just a retail experience these days. The Sunday market has, for many, become a social occasion to meet up with friends and have a good gossip. A lot of people bring their pets along – not just a bewildering variety of dogs either, I have seen a parakeet perched on a shoulder and a ferret on a harness too! Upstairs the cafés and bars are offering

owever the “rastrillo” on Sunday mornings has really taken off and if you are looking for somewhere to mooch around before lunch it's a great place to be. The La Trocha market has a big advantage since it spreads through the covered car parking area underneath
the shops so you can get out of the baking sun in the summer and keep dry in the winter while browsing round the incredible variety of stalls. Here you can buy anything from dog treats to plants, second-hand furniture to medicinal herbs, bric a brac to genuine antiques (though the stall-holder asking 10,000 euros for the life-size “bronze” horse is probably a little optimistic!). There are charity stalls for abandoned animals, the British Legion and African children; you can have your nails done or change your watch battery; have your portrait painted or stock up on your office stationery; buy a new handbag or some fashionable “bling”; sort

And Siboneys is now open at lunchtime for barbecue and drinks – you can either sit inside the bar area or outside and admire the bustling view of Coin. La Trocha, incidentally, is shaped like a ship and Siboneys' lounging area with its long cushions outside makes you feel as though you are sitting at the prow of a cruising vessel under the cream awnings!
T
he market opens from 10.00am to 2.00pm though many people come earlier and stall-holders arrive at about 7.00am. (You can
buy English Sunday papers at the garage to read over breakfast, but remember they don't arrive in Coin until around 11.00am.) It's easy to find the centre from the coast – take either the Ojen road from La Canada and follow it to the end, turning left where it stops at the “temporary” roundabout or come up
from Fuengirola towards Alhaurin el Grande on the Camino de Coin (watching the fluctuating speed limits on the new road), take the Coin road at Venta los Morenos and then turn right on to the same Marbella-Cartama road. La Trocha is clearly visible as you come down the hill to the bottom.

his September sees an interesting selection of releases including a few classics and a couple of box sets from TV History.
MoViES to WAtcH out FoR
Midnight in Paris Director: Woody Allen starring: Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates With "Midnight in Paris," Allen has indulged himself and in the process created a gift for everyone. His new film is simple, and a romantic fantasy adventure enhanced by appealing performers like Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard and
Rachel McAdams. It is his warmest, mellowest and funniest venture of recent years, beautifully shot by Darius Khondji. The film opens with an extended montage of Paris's tourist landmarks, a montage that lasts longer than necessary

to simply establish location, that shows off the City of Light from dawn to darkness. Allen is saying: Pay attention — this is a special place, a place where magic can happen. Owen Wilson is Gil, a wealthy Hollywood scriptwriting hack who still yearns to write a great literary novel. A visit to Paris with his testy fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) and her grouchy parents triggers a mid-career crisis. Irritated by the banality of contemporary culture, and electrified by his own
idealised view of bygone bohemian Paris, Gil takes a midnight stroll, and gets picked up by mysterious revellers in a vintage automobile. He finds himself whisked back in time, hanging out with F Scott Fitzgerald (a nice performance from Britain's Tom Hiddleston) not to mention Dalí, Hemingway, Picasso, Buñuel, TS Eliot and many, many more. There is even a cameo from Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, playing a deadpan, tolerant museum guide.
GLASS CURTAINS THE ORIGINAL AND THE BEST
T
his classic comedydrama released in 1967 tells the story of college graduate Benjamin Braddock (superbly played by Dustin Hoffman) who is wandering aimlessly until being seduced by Anne Bancroft who plays the character of Mrs Robinson. And, of course, he ends up falling for her daughter Elaine ( played by Katharine Ross). In 1996 the American Film Registry ranked The Graduate as seventh in the top 100 films.
T
he Graduate received two BAFTA awards, one for best film and a second for best editing. At the time of its release the original movie earned a raft of brilliant reviews and the story has been retold on stage in both the West End and on Broadway, again to critical acclaim.

Progress is the keyword of the week with events and progression occurring in all sectors of your life. Relationships are no exception and others will be magnetically drawn to your presence. This can be a testing week emotionally and mentally when it is vital that you do not allow any personal negativity to get in the way. This always happens when you are close to a major breakthrough - you of all people know how easy it is to dream but how many follow their dreams through to reality? You will at last find a solution to an old problem, once you receive this revelation it will be time to start pushing those personal dreams. A deep desire has a chance of manifesting this week as an opportunity comes your way that delivers an opening for you to use as a platform. Do not let small problems build up in your mind so that they become huge. Make sure you have someone’s ear; you need a sounding board at this point in time to allow you to keep that sense of perspective. New and exciting directions are coming your way, you are being asked to visualise the bigger picture now. When your heart is in something there is nothing that will get in your way or stop you from getting what you want. Life has picked up speed significantly and you are in the process of figuring out a long-term plan. This energy makes for a passionate and sensual week as your feelings and emotions are heightened. Get the tough and difficult tasks done and let your talents rise to the surface, catching the attention of those who can help you change your position. You are blessed with self-confidence and inner self-esteem to accomplish whatever you set your mind to – this is a real feel good factor week. The attention will be focused and locked on you; others will not be able to resist being in your company as your energy screams out success and everyone loves a winner. Keep your head and you will sparkle like never before. Things can happen suddenly and unexpectedly at warp speed, so hold onto your hat, Leo, you are in for a hell of a ride. You are bundle of electricity this week fully charged and ready for output. This charge will lift you up from your current location and transport you to higher ground. You will not accept the old distractions that get in the way of you being yourself - you just won’t tolerate it any more. Others rely on you to know the right way to do things, to see things from that practical angle. The strength within you, Virgo, is grounded and solid – others admire you for this.
Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!
This may look like a lot of ingredients but the result is worth it and, once you’ve got all the stuff weighed out, the actual cooking takes just a few minutes.
Prawn lemon pepper pasta Ingredients: ● 224gr linguine pasta ● 15ml olive oil ● 6 cloves garlic, minced ● 120ml chicken broth ● 60ml white wine ● 1 lemon, juiced ● 1gr lemon zest ● salt to taste ● freshly ground black pepper to taste ● 500gr fresh prawns, peeled and de-veined ● 50gr butter ● 10gr chopped fresh parsley ● 3gr chopped fresh basil
Directions Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil then add the linguine, and cook for 9 to 13 minutes or until al dente. Drain the linguine and reserve. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, and sauté the garlic for about a minute. Mix in chicken broth, wine, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Reduce the heat, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about a half. Add the prawns, butter, parsley, and basil into the saucepan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until prawns are opaque. Stir in the cooked linguine, and continue cooking for 2 minutes, until well coated and the pasta is warmed through.

An outside force may be trying to make its way into your love life, this can be personal temptation or other forms of betrayal. If it is happening to you then you had better find a way to rise above it - if it isn’t then pay attention to what is happening behind the scenes as you may be privy to some secret information. Pay attention to the details and get your priorities in order, making sure that those who mean the most to you fit into your life totally.
SAGITTARIUS Your chart indicates the very things that have held you back in the past will now prove to be the things that cause you to rise above all chaos and reach the levels of success that you always knew could be possible. This also means that there is likely to be an inflowing of material wealth as well as personal satisfaction. This is a great opportunity for you to take up a chance that you nd November 22 December 21st have been waiting for all your life – it is there now in front of you.
CAPRICORN It is time to look at your life and figure out what is working and what clearly isn’t, what brings you rewards and what appears to be a wasted effort. By the weekend you will have some idea of where things fit - sifting out the wheat from the chaff. Fun and adventure are on their way, making it the perfect time to deal with love and romance.

It is a good time to ask questions to find the answers you are not sure about and you will be glad you did - later on it will make you sure that you are getting things right. You have an amazing ability to teach and interact with others and it would be a shame for this talent to go to waste, so get preaching, Aquarius, you will be amazed at how many people are ready to learn. Get all the details in an agreement, make sure it is all written down; a key factor is likely to be found in the small print.
You could feel caught between two different worlds, you wish to embrace the present and yet the past keeps calling you to stand up and be counted. Get ready for a change as you realise that something has run its course and it is now over. Be willing to trust your gut instincts, even if it means confronting what you would prefer not to. Social activities are highlighted and you are likely to bump into old friends for a good catch up.

ThE briTish Do nonE Too bADly AT This yEAr’s AwArDs
e Emmys Kate Winslett thanks her mum and Julian Fellows gives thanks for coming out of retirement A few surprises were to unfold at this year’s Emmy awards, some of which had absolutely nothing to do with film or TV. The big gossip was about the fact that a sketch filmed for the occasion, starring Alec Baldwin, was dropped because it contained a joke about phone hacking and was considered to be inappropriate given recent phone hacking scandals that have come to light. The actor was due to be part of the ceremony's opening video – but it was not shown by Fox, which is owned by News Corp, the parent company of News International. A furious Baldwin said merely: “The decision sucks!”
Another wobble to the proceedings was a prerecorded piece from Ricky Gervais who had been told that anything that went out had to be pre-recorded – following his sometimes outrageous comments when he presented the Golden Globes. He was told that he wasn’t to say anything rude or controversial or it would be edited out. They also said that they would know if his speech had been edited by his team. Gervais appeared on his prerecorded speech explaining this to the audience and ending with: “What a bunch of cowardly count- (and here there appears to be a momentary break in the film) rymen”. Crass as ever then!
Kate Winslett won the award for Outstanding Lead Actress for her appearance as Mildred Pierce in the HBO television mini series originally aired on US TV but recently shown on British TV. During her speech, the somewhat overwrought actress said that she wanted to share the award with her mother adding: "It doesn't matter how old you are or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mum and I will never stop needing mine, so thanks Mum, thank you so much." Luther actor Idris Elba was deservedly in the running for Lead Actor in a Mini-series or Movie but lost out to Barry Kennedy who won it for his part in The Kennedys.
Nice frock, shame about the speech - Kate Winslett picks up her gong All was not lost for the British though with Downton Abbey, which started its second series just last Sunday here in the UK, winning four awards. Julien Fellows, creator of the series won the award for Creator of the Best Mini-series saying: “When we were in the hotel a bit earlier, my wife said to me, 'I think we should just
relax and enjoy the evening, because I don't think we're going to win'. Well, we're going to enjoy the evening now. And at the risk of sounding grandiloquent, I would like to thank you, the American industry. Ten years ago you kick-started my second career with an Oscar, tonight you have nurtured it,
I am very grateful, thank you." Dame Maggie Smith got a gong for Best Supporting Actress in a Mini-series Or Movie for her part in Downton but was not at the ceremony. Brian Percival also scooped an award for directing the hit period drama.
Downton has A fag will cost you an 18 rating a new rival
Just as the dust is beginning to settle from ITV’s achievements at the Emmy Awards with their First World War popular drama Downton Abbey, the BBC has announced that they will be showing their new five-part drama Parade’s End which is set in the Edwardian era towards the end of the First World War, based on the four-part book set written by Ford Madox Ford. Executive producer Damien Timmer from Mammoth Screen that is making the series said: : "I can honestly say that we started off doing this great big story about Edwardian England going into the First World War before any of us
had ever heard about Downton Abbey." The controller of the BBC, Ben Stephenson, added: "Just because things are set in a similar period doesn't mean that they are the same." He also said that the series will show that the BBC is still committed to making original British drama – even though they shut down their in-house drama script unit that helped up-and-coming British writers some years ago, thereby farming out all future work. The cast includes veteran actress Miranda Richardson as well as Rebecca Hall and Benedict Cumberbatch.
All films that show anyone smoking are soon to be given an “18” certificate as the depiction of smoking is said to glamourise the habit and encourage young people to take up smoking, according to a report issued by the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies that was printed in The Lancet. The chief executive of anti-smoking lobby group ASH, Deborah Arnott agreed with the report saying: "Smoking in films encourages children to take up smoking. And that's no surprise. That is why tobacco advertising was banned, because showing images of people, particularly glamorous young people smoking encourages children to smoke." According to a recent report by Cancer Research
one in seven children are smoking habitually by the age of 15. And while film makers have said that it is freedom of expression to depict what actually happens in real lives in films film critic Mark Ecclestone agreed saying: "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which will be up in award ceremonies, everyone smokes pretty much constantly in that movie. It would annoy a lot of people in that film if they were not allowed to do that as it is detail which gives the whole project authenticity." A film of something happening in the ‘50s and ‘60s would not be accurate if it did not depict people smoking, as that is what the majority of people did in those days and to leave it out would leave a big gap in reality as it was.
Even Cruella de Ville could be re-rated 18 because of her hugely long filtered cigarette she constantly puffs leaving children unable to see the baddy get her comeuppance. And what about old pipe-puffing Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. Not to

Four weight loss mistakes to avoid Ignoring portion size The food you are eating may be fine but research shows that average portion sizes have increased by up to 50% over the last thirty years so if you are struggling to lose weight it could just be that you are eating too much.
Altruism is good for you
Reduce the size of your meals and snacks by 1520%. This small and simple change can make a big impact on your waistline.
breakfast Cynics don’t believe that good deeds are rewarded in kind, but Skipping Breakfast eaters are studies indicate that being nice to others is also good for you. invariably thinner and Research has found that helping others can actually reduce stress and improve your mental health. A study of churchgoers found that people who offer love and support to others have better mental health than those who only receive help. Being habitually altruistic can raise dopamine levels in the brain, which makes the altruist happier and calmer, and gives them a greater feeling of selfworth. An added plus is that helping others may help you fend off your own problems and anxiety. You focus outside the self – away from the inwardlooking nature of anxiety and depression. But the benefit of being helpful does not merely come from the good deed. The recipient’s mood is likely to be improved by your deed, and through empathy, your mood benefits too. So good deeds keep on giving. You help someone, which makes you feel good; they feel better, and make you feel even better. However, you should not give beyond your abilities – if you do, you may experience worse mental health as a result.
Origins of altruism Scientists believe that the propensity for altruism
evolved, because it communicated to a potential mate that a person could be a good parent. This increased their likelihood of finding a mate and producing offspring. Altruism, when broadly practised, is also a very canny way of making life easier. Not only does being nice and helpful make you happier and saner – it also reduces the amount of work you have to do. A study of common
etiquette found that acts of courtesy may have a practical, shared motivation. If you hold the door for someone, or they hold it for you, it reduces work for those involved, making life easier for everyone. In a nutshell, altruism will make you happier, help you find a partner, and reduce the amount of work you have to do.

Commercially prepared sandwiches and salads can be far higher in fat than you might think and poor labelling can make it difficult to know exactly how many calories you’re eating. The National Consumer Council recently criticised a number of high street sandwich chains for selling seemingly
healthy sandwiches that had more than twice as much saturated fat in them as a McDonald's!
Wine before meals Alcohol lowers blood sugar levels making you feel tired and over stimulates your appetite. It also robs the body of a great many essential vitamins and minerals and may increase the likelihood of food calories being stored as fat. Never drink alcohol before your evening meal. Hunger increases the craving for alcohol but drinking it only serves to lower blood sugars further so hold off, at least until after you’ve eaten. !

Hilary Grainger Monte Alto, Arroyo de la Miel other scammers, I have credentials, please call this number etc., etc., I told him I didn't care if he had the ID card/credentials of the King of Spain he was NOT coming through my gates. He said if I didn't let him in now he would come back at a later date with his boss! At this point he hedged towards my gate, just wedging his foot in the gate, with me now protesting louder that I couldn't care less who is was he was NOT coming into my property. I soon saw his face change when my husband appeared (who is Spanish!),
I would have written this sooner, but have been waiting for the person in question to return! Two weeks ago my door bell rang, standing at my gate was a nicely dressed young man who announced he was from the Junta de Andalucia and had to come to inspect my gas pipes etc. I was suspicious from the start, having been caught once by this scam! Wondering what the devil the Junta de Andalucia has got to do with gas pipes. I told him to go away, was not interested and that I was all electric. This guy then started with the same statement as the
Jorgen C. F. I assume you have also seen the horrible pictures on TV of the torture and painful death of a bull in one of the socalled fiestas here in Spain. What happened to that proud and beautiful but defenseless young bull was barbarous, and it's hard to believe that the perpetrators are "normal" Spaniards — families with children. The whole incident — of which there are hundreds each year all over Spain — is obscure, obscene and degrading to everything "normal" humans should stand for. I have been sick in my heart, since I saw the episode and I feel so frustrated that there is nothing, I can do myself to
Editor says: Way to go, Hilary! Well done and let’s all give these nasty scammers a run for their money!
stop the barbarism. Isn't it possible that The News could take the initiative on behalf of your readers with a letter of protest to the Spanish goverment and to the European Union. I will be the very first to sign it... The torture and murder of animals in Spain MUST be stopped now. The horror on TV was MURDER. Don't bulls have rights to welfare in Spain? Unfortunately, the killings in Spain also include dogs, horses, donkeys and even dogs in dog fights. Is the Spanish society sick?
Editor says: It’s good to see that a lot of Spanish people are now against this practice but let’s not forget the British and their hunting practices until it was made illegal in very recent years. And what was their reaction? “We’ll have to kill off all the hounds, then!” They had apparently not heard of drag hunting to exercise their hounds, horses and themselves to the shout of “Tally Ho!” Not so good either, I think. Also, we are very quick to criticise but we also need to be aware that us Brits have the RSPCA, PDSA and, while I in no way condone any cruelty to animals we are not entirely whiter than white ourselves.
Pensioner, Calypso, Mijas Costa was to tell me that I couldn’t be sent them as I wasn’t in the UK! I could understand it in the “olden days” when the papers had to be flown into Spain from the UK and we all moaned about them being a day behind but these days they are all printed in Spain so I don’t see the logic in the prices at all, other than the papers filling their coffers with the money they are ripping us off for. People say, go online and read them but, in the first place I don’t posess an expensive lap top and in the second case, I don’t want to be bothered with lugging round a ton of equipment just to find out what’s going on.

Cynthia Oldham While I absolutely love The News as it gives a good variety of subjects and sizes of articles to keep me going throughout most of the week, can somebody explain to me why, on the odd occasion I wish to buy one of the English daily papers I have to pay through the nose for the pleasure? In the UK the Daily Telegraph this week has a special offer on for only 10p and, what do I have to pay here? A whopping €2.10 is what! Sunday papers come even dearer and, do we get the magazine inserts, CD’s, DVD’s and all the other freebies we had come to enjoy in the UK? No we don’t. A lot of the “Sundays” tell you to contact them if you can’t get them but the answer when I did this
upon hearing my husband ask what is going on here, in Spanish the guy backed off, rearranged his papers, looked innocent and promptly disappeared! So be warned out there they are about again, this time using yet another "name" to gain entrance into your property..........PS I am still waiting for him to come back! With or without his boss!
I will be putting my money where my mouth is from now on and boycotting the UK dailies in future and sticking to The News!

e live inside a galaxy and on a dark clear night you can see part of our galaxy stretching right across the sky — we call it the Milky Way. Our galaxy is huge; it is about 100,000 light years across and contains around 400 billion stars. All of the individual stars that you can see are really quite close to us in astronomical terms. The most distant star that you can see with the naked eye is called Deneb at a ‘mere’ 1500 light years away.
many other Galaxies that have been observed which have already collided.
B
T
ut if you know exactly where to look and you have a perfectly clear, dark, moonless sky then you should be able to make out a very faint ‘smudge’ of light called the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is a separate galaxy 2.5 million light years away and is the most distant object visible to the unaided eye. Even a cheap pair of binoculars will show it very clearly as a fuzzy elongated smudge and through a telescope it is truly spectacular!
I
t is called the Andromeda Galaxy because it sits just above the constellation of Andromeda. It is also know as M31 or Messier 31 after the French astronomer Charles Messier who in 1771 published a catalogue of objects that were ‘not comets’. Messier was a comet hunter and he was frustrated by constantly finding galaxies, nebulae and other objects in his telescope that could be mistaken for a distant comet so he set about cataloguing 110 objects. His catalogue was so accurate and concise that it is still in use today.
M
31 is a much bigger galaxy than our Milky Way at over 220,000 light years across and containing close to a trillion stars. It is classified as a spiral galaxy because it has a central bulging central core with arms spiralling out and around it. It is also on the move and headed towards us at over 100 miles per second. It will eventually collide with our galaxy in about four billion years time, so no need to start worrying just yet! The outcome of the collision will probably be the formation of one huge spiral galaxy — evidence of this comes from
here are two simple ways to find the Andromeda Galaxy. Give your eyes a good 15 minutes outside to become dark-adapted and then look toward the eastern sky and you should be able to see four fairly obvious stars that make a large square shape, this is the square of Pegasus. From the bottom left-hand star of the square follow the line of three stars that sweep away to the lower left. At the second star move directly up a little and you should see the galaxy looking like a faint smudge. Another way to find it is again look to the east and find five stars that form a distinct W or zig-zag shape, the upper part of the zig-zag forms a V shape that points more or less to the Andromeda Galaxy. If you sweep slowly around this area with binoculars you will be sure to find it. I have put exact details on how to find it on my website.
I
t is amazing to think that the light you are seeing from the Andromeda Galaxy has been travelling for 2.5 million years before it reached you. The debate as to how far away M31 really is raged for many years until in 1922 American astronomer Edwin Hubble proved conclusively that it was outside of our galaxy and that it really was 2.5 million light years away. This dramatic discovery paved the way to Hubble describing the size of the entire universe. He was posthumously rewarded by having the Hubble Space Telescope named in his honour.

One more year in Moto2 for Smith TTech 3 team boss Herve Poncharal believes an additional year in Moto2 will ensure that Bradley Smith is competitive in the top class from the outset when he steps up to MotoGP in 2013. It was announced on Monday that current Tech 3 Moto2 rider Smith had agreed a new three-year deal with the squad that would see him stay in the intermediate category for another season before racing in MotoGP in 2013 and '14.
Solid Stoner storms to win In his new all orange Honda livery Casey Stoner extended his MotoGP championship lead with an eighth win of the season at Aragon in Spain. Yamaha rider Ben Spies made a storming start to take the lead into turn one, Pedrosa charged past Repsol Honda team-mate Stoner, but it was the Australian who was soon into the lead at the end of the long straight. Stoner then proceeded to streak away. As those hoping for a close race had feared, noone could match the Australian's pace and Stoner continued to pull steadily away from Pedrosa to claim a 8.162sec victory. Pedrosa in turn rode to a lonely second, but Spies was soon under pressure for third from Gresini Honda's Marco Simoncelli, who passed him into the final turn on lap 9. The Italian then rashly undid all his good work by carrying too much speed into the turn at the end of the long straight on the
next lap, dropping him to fifth behind Spies and factory Yamaha team-mate
making his way through the field after starting in the pit lane, and his battle with
sending them both down with seven laps to go. Elias was quick to check on the well being of the slow-tostand Capirossi as they walked away. Stoner then, eased to his 31st victory in the top class, putting him joint fifth on the all-time list, as he moved 44 points clear with just 100 points left to play for.
Jorge Lorenzo. Lorenzo, Stoner's nearest title challenger, had predicted third would be all he could hope for after struggling all weekend, and the Spaniard achieved that target when he passed Spies with ten laps to go. Simoncelli was able to follow the Spaniard through and and retake fourth spot. Valentino Rossi was
British rider Cal Crutchlow was great to watch with the rider from Coventry coming out on top with a ninth place finsh. The third Repsol rider Andrea Dovizioso failed to last the first lap as he crashed out. Other non finishers included Capirossi, who banged the rear wheel of Tony Elias,
Lorenzo said: "It was impossible to win today so third is not too bad. Casey was just too fast." Stoner had this to say after the race: "It felt good all weekend. The bike has been fantastic and the only problem was the wind - it was changing direction and speed every lap so that was a challenge but I just had to bring it home. "It was my race to lose today and I did the job." MotoGP will now head for the first of three consecutive flyaway races, at Motegi (Japan) at the end of this month, before returning to Spain for the Valencia season finale.
Huge Boost for the British car industry Jaguar Land Rover is to announce a £400 million expansion that will create up to 2,000 jobs in the UK. The luxury carmaker will locate an engine plant in the West Midlands after fears the investment and jobs might go abroad – possibly to India. It is understood to have secured around £10 million support from the government, which believes the motor industry is ‘crucial’ to the economy. The engine plant will be built over two years at the i54 business park in Wolverhampton. Jaguar Land Rover, which employs 19,000 in the UK, already has three factories here – at Castle Bromwich and Solihull in the West Midlands and

Report by: Nig Bowler, Captain.
Julio Baptista made his first league start for Malaga this season in place of Buonanotte. But it was Van Nistelrooy who came closest to scoring in the opening period clipping the bar with a chip over the keeper. Malaga had general control of the game, Carzola had a volley blocked off the line by Aouate, and then after 39 minutes Malaga made a deserved breakthrough, a Carzola cross was met by Demichelis whose header was deflected in by Mallorca defender Caceres.
for Justin
Mallorca’s Nsue and Malaga’s Gamez
Mallorca had penalty claims tuned down in the second half and Rondon who had come on for Baptista at half time, had a good goal disallowed for offside on 74 minutes. Mallorca failed to press Malaga and were overall disappointing. Rondon had another good chance before the end but Aoute saved the effort well. A good three points in the end and with Athletico Bilbao at La Rosaleda at 8pm on Wednesday things are looking good so far. Report by: Scott Forbes
Strong finish for Teamsky Hot day at the Oval Alex Dowsett powered to victory in the London time trial Fuengirola (139 all out) lose to Combined Colleges who managed to on the penultimate stage(8A) at the Tour of Britain. knock up a winning 140/7. Dowsett held off the attentions of race leader Lars Boom (Rabobank) by an impressive five seconds over the 8.8-kilometre course in the centre of the British capital to take a memorable win in front of his home fans. The victory was all the more sweet for the 22-yearold as it came in his first race as British National Time Trial champion, debuting the jersey in fine style with a time of ten minutes and 14 seconds. Sky’s Steve Cummings finished safely on the final stage(8B) of the Tour of Britain in London to secure an impressive second overall. The Brit had a comfortable run to the finish after his exploits in the earlier time trial had seen him gain three places on the leaderboard, ending the race 36 seconds off the race
Mark Cavendish takes the final stage just ahead of teammate Renshaw
winner Lars Boom. The Rabobank rider was a model of consistency throughout the race despite coming up against a hard-charging Geraint Thomas and leaves the UK with the IG Markets winners gold jersey. Thomas was again in the mix for the sprint and took fourth on the final stage, securing the points jersey as the race came to a head over 10 laps on the streets of London, culminating in a bunch sprint.
With the Team Sky riders finishing safely in the bunch the squad were confirmed as winners of the teams classification, taking a convincing victory of one minute and 28 seconds over their nearest rivals. At the finish it was Mark Cavendish who took the bunch kick, leading home HTC-Highroad team-mate Mark Renshaw on wet roads to take his second victory of the race.
Seve Trophy 2011 GB&I 15.5-12.5 Continental Europe
On another hot but breezy Sunday afternoon at the Cartama Oval Fuengirola won the toss and elected to bat. Fuengirola made 139 in 25 overs, a very acceptable run rate of 5.5 an over. However the key to their demise were four absolutely stunning catches made by the Combined Colleges fielders. All four were going at bullet speed and would have impressed any Test Match crowd. The pick of the four was made by Brian Barrett who hung on to what would have been a certain boundary six if it hadn't been for his cat-like reaction to claw it safely into his hands. In reply Combined Colleges made a light work response although not winning as comfortably as they thought on 140/7. This week at the oval Great Britain and Ireland held off a strong challenge to beat Continental Europe 15.5-12.5 on the final day of the Seve Trophy in France. Continental Europe recovered from an overnight deficit of 11.5-6.5 to level the tie at 11.5 points each. But GB&I, led by Paul McGinley, did enough in the

England’s Justin Rose won the BMW Championship by two strokes, giving him a shot at the FedEx Cup's $10 million prize. The first-round leader, Justin Rose, shot 71 to finish off a wire-to-wire win by two strokes over John Senden (69) and by three strokes over Geoff Ogilvy (69). The top three finishers — who began the week outside the top 30 on the points list — were propelled into next week’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. These three best performers all get to play in the season finale, all with a chance to win the FedEx Cup and the $10 million bonus that goes with it. It was a significant personal achievement for Rose, 31, who had held or shared the 54-hole lead seven previous times, but winning just once. After starting strong, opening a five-stroke lead over Senden after consecutive birdies at holes 6 and 7, Rose began to wobble on the back nine. He hit three drives wildly to the right, and his lead shrank to one stroke after a bogey at the par-5 15th hole. But he closed out the win on a very wet day with style, pitching in from 35 feet for birdie on the 17th hole to widen his lead, then ripping his final drive down the middle of the fairway, and hitting a crisp iron shot hole-high from 190 yards to set up an easy par at the brutal 497-yard, par-4 18th hole to finish at 13-under 271.
Report by: Tim Meal final matches to wrap up a sixth consecutive win in the trophy. Victory came when Mark Foster sealed a one-up win over Raphael Jacquelin to reach the decisive 14.5point mark. Earlier, David Horsey finished all square against Nicolas Colsaerts to halt Continental Europe's run of five straight wins at
the start of the day. Ian Poulter sank a crucial birdie on the 18th to seal a one-up victory over Matteo Manassero, before Foster secured the trophy. The final pairing of the day, Ross Fisher and Peter Hanson, ended all square. "It feels amazing and I'm pleased for the boys," said Foster.

“Mr Aintree” Ginger McCain dies aged 80 Ginger McCain, trainer of the legendary Grand National winner Red Rum, has died aged 80 after suffering from cancer. McCain guided "Rummy" to three victories and two second places in a five-year period during the 1970s. He won a fourth National with Amberleigh House in 2004. McCain's wife Beryl said: "Donald - Ginger as we all knew him - passed away peacefully in his sleep after a short illness this morning (Monday) - he would have been 81 on Wednesday.”

Stuttering win for England as Ireland impress Ireland will attempt to persuade Ronan O'Gara to shelve any retirement plans after he hinted that he would quit international duty after the World Cup. O’Gara told Irish television after Saturday's stunning 15-6 win over Australia that he would be "done with Ireland in a few weeks". However, Ireland team manager Paul McNaughton said that the fly-half would be "encouraged to stay on". The other home nations had good wins at the weekend. Wales beat Samoa 17-10, Samoa led 10-6 at the break through an Anthony Perenise try and Paul Williams' conversion and penalty. James Hook kicked two first-half penalties for Wales and Rhys Priestland
two more after the break. Wales wing Williams sealed victory 15 minutes from the end with a vital try. It was Wales' first World Cup win over the islanders in three attempts, having lost to them in Cardiff at the 1991 and 1999 tournaments and left Samoa needing to beat Fiji and reigning champions South Africa in their remaining games if they are to progress. But after an opening 1716 defeat by South Africa, this victory has set up Warren Gatland's side for a possible quarter-final against Ireland. England beat Georgia 41-10 in their Pool B World Cup match in Dunedin but the stuttering nature of the performance will be of concern to manager Martin Johnson.

Georgia, ranked 16th in the world, dominated the breakdown before halftime and forced England into a host of infringements, England giving away six penalties in the first 15 minutes and lucky to still have 15 men on the pitch, but Kvirikashvili missed two very makeable penalties in quick succession as Georgia were unable to take advantage of significant territorial advantage. Centre Shontayne Hape scored two tries for England before the break, while Georgia number eight Dimitri Basilaia touched down to make it 17-10 at half-time. But England's superior fitness told in the second half, with Delon Armitage, Manu Tuilagi and Chris Ashton (two) going over for tries to secure a bonuspoint win. Last year's series win in South America means Scotland go into the vital World Cup showdown with Argentina on Sunday in good shape, according to Gregor Townsend. "The loser is going to find it tough to get into the next stage of the tournament," said the attack coach. "But I believe the team we've got is more than capable of delivering the huge performance that we'll need.
flip of a coin helps heating engineer to unlikely Prizefighter title
Even the referee looked shocked as Mayweather landed the blows
Controversy as Mayweather wins American Floyd Mayweather claimed the WBC welterweight title with a controversial victory over Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas – before getting involved in an ugly spat with HBO's Larry Merchant.
interview with Merchant.
Mayweather knocked out Ortiz at the end of the fourth round to extend his unbeaten record to 42 fights. But the 34-year-old landed the knockout blows while Ortiz was not ready after being penalised for a headbutt seconds earlier. Just before the bell to end the fourth round Ortiz had Mayweather on the ropes for a third time, only to be penalised for a headbutt.
Merchant replied: “I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your a**.”
The 24-year-old then seemed to be apologising and was not protecting himself as Mayweather landed two punches – the second a big right hand – to end the fight. “I got hit by a dirty shot. The rule is protect yourself at all time,” Mayweather insisted in a post-fight

When Merchant tried to press Mayweather about the controversial ending, the boxer raged: “You never give me a fair shake. You don't know s*** about boxing.”
Speaking at a post-fight press conference, Mayweather later added: “I was always told to protect yourself at all times. My mouth was split open. I said keep it clean. Once you touch gloves, it is go time. “We came together to fight. It is fight time. You want to do me dirty and then two minutes later you want to be my friend? This is the hurting business.” Ortiz, for his part, said of his headbutt: “I fouled Floyd, I apologised in the ring and apologised after the fight as well. I would really like the rematch. “I thought the ref (Joe Cortez) called a break and I am pretty sure he did and then I was like ‘whoa, whoa’, and then I woke up after.” Mayweather also shrugged off renewed calls for a superfight with Manny Pacquiao, insisting his Filipino rival “has to get his business in order” before the two can meet.

Players ‘serious’ about tennis strike over schedules Andy Murray says top players are "serious" about their call for changes to the tennis calendar – and that some form of strike cannot be ruled out. Players are upset at overcrowding in the schedule and will meet in Shanghai next month to plot their next move. Murray told BBC Sport: "It's a possibility. I know from speaking to some players they're not afraid of doing that (striking). "Let's hope it doesn't come to that but I'm sure the players will consider it." Asked whether the subject of a strike or boycott will be mentioned during the meeting in China, he continued: "Yes I think so.”
