US women missing for years found in Cleveland
Three young women who vanished about a decade ago in the state of Ohio have been found and are in hospital in a fair condition, officials said on Monday.
Amanda Berry disappeared aged 16 in 2003, while Gina DeJesus went missing at the age of 14 a year later. Michele Knight, 32, vanished in 2002 at the age of 20. Police have confirmed that all three were found in a house in the city of Cleveland, and that three men, all in their fifties, have been arrested in connection with the case. They told reporters that
the three men are Hispanic, aged 50, 52 and 54, and that one of them had lived in the house where the girls were found.
Gina DeJesus' uncle said they were in shock but very grateful for her discovery. "In all this time, 10 years, nobody never figured nothing about where she was at and this has come to an end and it's right here on Seymour," he said.
Meanwhile a doctor confirmed the three women were being kept in hospital for observation. In a news conference outside

ICKHAM’S
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
Anniversary Last weekend was our 30th anniversary so we went away in our little caravan for a long weekend. I know it will sound weird to some but, it is very small and cosy and I absolutely love it. We could have a bigger caravan and, someday when we’re retired maybe we will as we were admiring others on the site in Duquesa where we were staying but, for now, it’ll do. The site we stayed on is relatively new (only just over a year old) so everything is still kept clean and tidy, including the loos and shower block which is a real bonus as some of these on other sites are absolutely horrid. On Thursday we had dinner in Marlows and on Friday pigged out on the freshest calamari and salad for lunch we’ve had in a long time, then went to a new “tearooms” place in Sabinillas that we had recommended to us for tea and cakes – needless to say we didn’t need dinner that night so it was soup and toast in the van! Saturday was the actual anniversary and the only way I can remember the date is by thinking of Star Wars (May the fourth be with you!?!). We had a lovely day exploring the area, went to a little local zoo that started off as a rescue centre and then travelled just along the road into Duquesa Port for a nice Chinese meal. All in all a good weekend was had by all. You will notice on the letters page this week that I have had replies to my question about how would you know how far you are from a lighthouse (and therefore any rocks etc.,) if you were on a boat. I have the sort of curious nature that these things just pop into my mind from time to time so, thanks to all those who have answered the question, I shall now feel safer!
They have not revealed any further details, although a relative of Amanda Berry said she told him she had a daughter. In a frantic call to police released to the news media, Ms Berry identified her captor as Ariel Castro. She said she had escaped after he had left the house.
A neighbour said he had seen a woman screaming for help at the front door of the house. Charles Ramsey said he suggested the woman open the door and exit, but she told him it was locked. "We had to kick open the bottom," he said. "Lucky on that door it was aluminium. It was cheap. She climbed out with her
daughter." Mr Ramsey then sheltered the woman, who said there were others in the house. The women's cases were re-opened last year when a prison inmate tipped off authorities that Ms Berry may have been buried in Cleveland. He received a four-and-a-halfyear sentence in prison for the false information. Amanda Berry's mother, Louwana, died in March 2006, three years after her daughter's disappearance.
Previous cases
Although much is still not yet known about this case, it recalled a series of recent high-profile child abduction cases.
Jaycee Lee Dugard was 11 years old when she was dragged into a car as she walked to a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California in 1991. She was discovered in August 2009, having spent 18 years held captive in the backyard of Phillip and Nancy Garrido in Antioch, some 170 miles from South Lake Tahoe. She had two children.
In Austria, Natascha Kampusch was abducted on her way to school at the age of 10. She was held for eight years by Wolfgang Priklopil in the windowless basement of a house in a quiet suburb of Vienna. She managed to escape in 2006 while Priklopil was making a

phone call. He committed suicide hours after she had fled.
Elizabeth Smart was 14 when she was taken from the bedroom of her Utah home in June 2002 and repeatedly raped during
nine months of captivity. She was rescued in March 2003 less than 20 miles from her home. Her abductor, Brian David Mitchell, was jailed for life in 2011.
Exhibition pilot dies in crash A 35-year-old pilot died in Madrid on Sunday in a crash at an aircraft exhibition at the city’s Cuatro Vientos aerodrome. Ladislao Tejedor was married with one child and worked as the personal assistant to Defence Minister Pedro Morenés.

Tejedor lost control of the Saeta HA-200 advanced jet trainer he was flying and crashed into the hangar used to house the National Police Corps’ helicopters. “I’m alive but trapped,” Tejedor said when emergency services arrived at the scene.

National News ETA members arrested in France In a joint operation, the French police and the Guardia Civil detained six alleged members of the Basque terrorist group ETA in three separate locations in France on Tuesday. Four were detained in south east France – Raúl Aduna Vallinas and Antonio Goicoechea Gabirondo in Brive-la-Gaillarde; and Igor Uriarte López de Vicuña and Julen Mendizabal Elezcano in Montpellier. The other two Ekhiñe Eizaguirre Zubiaurre and Kepa Arkauz were arrested in Blois just south of Paris. A French government spokesman said all except Kepa Arkauz were on France's most wanted list. He said all were armed
and that a large number of documents had been seized. He said at least two of the men were responsible for safeguarding the group's weapons and explosives in underground hideouts. ETA declared an end to terrorist activity over a year ago but has so far refused to hand over its arms.
Eleven alleged members of ETA have been arrested far this year in France, where the authorities believe ETA is capable of picking up its violent activities where it left off. However, the authorities in Spain are divided, some believing that the French are right while others believe the group is on its last legs.
Talks between the group and international mediators broke off in Oslo in March, when the Norwegian authorities decide the member of ETA were not serious about making any progress and withdrew their visas. Currently pro-ETA groups in the Basque country are trying to get the sickest ETA members released from jail, something the authorities have refused to do.

Brussels rules out Private holiday Socialist Party's plan rentals under threat A new law being debated in parliament could restrict private holiday rentals across Spain. The government is concerned about the number of tourists now choosing to rent accommodation privately instead of through hotels and registered tour companies.
Socialist leader Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba had hardly finished a press conference on Sunday to announce his party's plan to stem rising unemployment, prevent fresh rounds of layoffs and to alleviate the effect of the recession on families, when the bureaucrats in Brussels began to react. The plan calls for the state to award credits from now until 2015 to companies that do not sack workers and the
creation of a national fund worth €10 billion that outof-work families in danger of eviction can tap to meet their debts with the banks.
Rubalcaba said the funds could be tapped from the “credit line open with the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which still has €60 billion available” after Spain’s banking sector bailout. Brussels immediately made it clear that the money allotted to bail out Spain’s banks can
be used purely for that purpose.
On Monday, Rubalcaba said: “I would ask the people in Brussels not to answer without thinking, that they listen to us and read what we are proposing.”The Socialist Party believes that the unemployment rate of 26.2 per cent is proof that the government’s austerity measures have failed and that credit flows to the private sector must be encouraged.”
Currently private home owners can rent their property to tourists on a "short-term" seasonal basis as long as they declare revenue. That provision will be dropped from the new law, which means home owners will have to ensure their properties conform to the same regulations already imposed on hotels and campsites and provide a minimum standard of quality as well as meet health and safety requirements. The passing of this law has been described as a
death blow to a growing sector that contributes to the economy, but it has been welcomed by hoteliers who feel private renters pose unfair competition in the sector.
The move is also widely seen as an attempt to limit the black market in tourist rentals making it easier for authorities to detect tax evaders. The Finance Ministry has estimated that undeclared revenue from rentals of private homes amounted to some €2.9 billion in 2010 – a significant proportion
coming from holiday lets. In the current unemployment crisis, many families survive by letting out one room to tourists or moving in with relatives for short periods during the high season to rent out their properties to make extra cash.
According to a recent report by La Caixa, last year there were around 1.1 billion overnight stays by tourists with more than two-thirds estimated to have taken place in accommodation which is unregistered.

British ex-special forces member Andrew Martorell, 44, has been arrested along with two former Spanish soldiers and two private security guards and charged with a series of armed robberies on the island of Majorca. Police alleged that Martorell masterminded three raids on the same shopping
centre in Mallorca.
Palma
de
For the first raid, in May 2009, they stole a military vehicle from a local army base and used it to ram raid a wall at the shopping centre to gain access to a safe. That attempt failed but they returned five months later
and escaped with €107,000 after breaking into the safe by blasting a hole in the neighbouring wall. The following June the gang allegedly held up cashiers at the same shopping centre and got away with €176,000. One of the security guards
arrested was employed at the shopping centre and is suspected of providing the gang with information to plan their attacks.
The police said the gang were also suspected of carrying out kidnappings and armed attacks on private properties across the island.
Awareness poster for kids A poster that can only be fully seen when looked at from the height of a child is being used in an anti-child abuse campaign. The Fundacion Anar, which helps children and adolescents at risk, used lenticular printing – a technique which means those looking at different angles see a different image – to create the poster. It has a "secret" message showing a child helpline when seen from a child's height. The
message (translated from Spanish) reads: "If somebody hurts you, phone us and we'll help you."
A Foundation spokesman said the poster was designed to get the information across to children who may be accompanied by their abuser. He said if an adult could read the message, he or she could possibly try to dissuade the child from considering seeking help.
More are proud of being Spanish
the latest survey made by the Sociological research Centre (CIS) shows that 74 per cent of Catalans are proud of being Spanish, seven per cent more than the last survey carried out in 2010. a CIS spokesman said the figure was surprising because the survey was carried out between September 13th and october 9th last year when support for Catalan independence seemed to be on the rise. only 14 per cent said that they viewed Spain as "another State, of which my country does not form part", while 44 per cent said they wanted Catalonia to continue being an autonomous region of Spain. Just 37 per cent backed the Catalan regional government's decision to hold a referendum on the region's future.

Three restaurants denounce Tweeters
the Chinese association in Cantabria has denounced several tweeters on behalf of three Chinese restaurants for accusing them on the internet of serving dog meat after a woman allegedly found a dog identification chip in her food. the uproar was such that Cantabria's health department has had to weigh in on the side of the Chinese, claiming that the woman was a figment of the tweeters' imagination. the manager of the Hua Long restaurant in Santander which was named by the tweeters said "It was a boy who began all this then two other people set about spreading the lie on the internet – first on twitter then on Facebook and tuenti."

World News Russia and US hold Syria talks Russian President Vladimir Putin met US Secretary of State John Kerry in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss the crisis in Syria. Mr Kerry's visit comes after Israel launched two air strikes in southern Syria, which sources say targeted weapons bound for militants in Lebanon. Russia condemned the attacks as threatening regional stability. Foreign correspondents have said it is unlikely that Mr Kerry will be able to change President Putin's stance on Syria. They said Moscow genuinely fears that a bad situation will get even worse if President Bashar
al-Assad is pushed from power, and that Islamists will fill the void.
Ahead of Mr Kerry's visit, Russia's foreign ministry called on the West to stop politicising the issue of chemical weapons in Syria. It expressed concern that world public opinion was being prepared for possible military intervention. The United Nations has played down claims by one of its experts that there was evidence rebels had
used nerve gas. Investigator Carla Del Ponte earlier said testimony from victims and doctors had given rise to "strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof" that opposition forces had used sarin. But the Commission of Inquiry on Syria stressed on Monday it had not reached any "conclusive findings".

The colourless, odourless gas is classed as a weapon of mass destruction and is banned under international law. After his visit to Russia, Mr Kerry will travel to Rome to meet Italian, Israeli and Jordanian officials to discuss Middle East issues, including the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
Bangladesh death toll passes 700 The death toll from the collapse of an eight-storey factory building near the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, has passed 700, officials said on Monday, after workers pulled dozens more bodies from the rubble.
The death toll stood at 705 on Monday but was expected to rise further. About 2,500 people were injured in the collapse of whom 2,437 have been accounted for, either as
survivors or dead. Rescue officials have said they do not know exactly how many people are still missing as factory owners have not given them precise figures. Nine people, including the building's owner, have been arrested.
The collapse of the Rana Plaza on April 24th was Bangladesh's worst industrial disaster. The previous most deadly structural failure in
modern times – excluding the 9/11 terror attacks in New York – was the Sampoong department store in Seoul, South Korea, in 1995, in which 502 people died. The disaster put the spotlight on conditions in the country's garment sector. Bangladesh has one of the largest garment industries in the world, and some of the clothes produced in the building were made for Western

Report highlights China cyber attacks
China's government and military have targeted US government computers as part of a cyber espionage campaign, according to the Pentagon's recently released annual report. It said intrusions were focused on collecting intelligence on US diplomatic, economic and defence sectors which could benefit China's own defence programme. This is the first time the Pentagon's annual report has directly linked such attacks to the Beijing government. While China has long been suspected of a role in cyber attacks, the US has generally avoided publicly attributing attacks to the Chinese government, or confirming that US government computers have been targeted. China has always denied hacking and says it is the victim of such attacks. FrANCe
Left rallies against Francois Hollande
Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Paris on Sunday to express their dissatisfaction with President Francois Hollande on the eve of the first anniversary of his election. The left-wing demonstrators accuse the president of abandoning socialism with his austerity policies. recent opinion polls show Mr Hollande's approval rating among the public has fallen to about 25% – the biggest slump for any French president in the past 50 years. Many people are angered by the weak economy and soaring unemployment. In separate protests, opponents of gay marriage marched in several major cities calling for the president not to sign a law passed by parliament last month allowing same-sex couples to wed and adopt children.

An alleged member of a German neo-Nazi cell went on trial in Munich on Monday in connection with a series of racially motivated murders. Beate Zschaepe, 38, is accused of being part of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), which killed 10 people, mostly of Turkish background. She denies the murder charges. Critics have accused authorities of turning a blind eye to the crimes of right-wing extremists. Officials deny this, saying mistakes occurred because the murders were spread across different regions, each with different police and security agencies. The killings took place over a seven-year period, and none of the victims or locations was high-profile. Four male defendants are also on trial with Ms Zschaepe, facing lesser charges of having helped the NSU.

Venezuelan president Holocaust hero given threatened Australian citizenship Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe has said he will take Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights.
In a statement, his lawyer said Maduro's accusation that Mr Uribe had plotted to assassinate him had put his life at risk. He added that Mr Uribe also wanted a libel investigation in Colombia. Maduro had implied Mr Uribe could have been involved in the killing of a Venezuelan journalist. The Venezuelan leader said on Friday he had evidence that right-wing Venezuelan politicians were involved in a plot masterminded by Mr Uribe, but the latter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fierce critic of the late President Hugo Chavez â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dismissed Mr Maduro's

accusation as "immature". The statement also said the accusations were the acts of "a desperate person who holds power illegitimately" and wanted to "divert the attention from the corruption and illegality sponsored by the dictatorship he runs".
Since taking over from the late President Hugo Chavez as acting president and even after winning
disputed elections last month, Maduro has denounced a string of alleged conspiracies in Venezuela.
He won the 14th April poll by a narrow margin of 1.49%, according to the official results, but opposition leader Henrique Capriles is challenging the result, alleging irregularities.
Many of the people whose lives he saved later went on to live in Australia. It is unclear what happened to Mr Wallenberg after he was detained by Soviet troops in January 1945. A Russian inquiry said he was executed in 1947, after the German retreat. In 2012, Sweden said it would hold a new inquiry into his death, after a probe by a Russo-Swedish working group in 1991 failed to draw any definite
conclusions. Mr Wallenberg has already been given honorary citizenship in the US, Israel, Hungary and Canada. Speaking at the honorary citizenship ceremony, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the move was "an expression of our deep gratitude for all that our nation gained
when so many saved by Wallenberg came to these shores". "As the last witnesses to the horrors of World War II leave us, it is vital, it is imperative, to keep alive the memory and example of individuals like Raoul Wallenberg," she said, describing Mr Wallenberg as a man of "moral courage and heroic example".
WWII Irish 'deserters' are to get pardons at last Former Italian PM dies
Giulio Andreotti, one of the most prominent political figures of postwar Italy, has died aged 94. He was Italian prime minister seven times between 1972 and 1992.
He led the Christian Democrat party, which dominated Italian politics for decades. He was dogged in later years by allegations of corruption and Mafia links, after a supergrass accused him of sharing a "kiss of honour" with the Mafia's "boss of bosses", Toto Riina, at a secret meeting in 1987. And he was tried for allegedly ordering the murder of a journalist who had threatened to publish details of his Mafia involvement. His acquittal
was subsequently overturned by an appeals court, which sentenced him to 24 years in prison â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before that ruling, too, was overturned. However, in 2004, Italy's top appeals court did uphold a verdict that he had "consciously and deliberately cultivated a stable relationship" with Mafia bosses, but he was not formally convicted because the offence had lapsed under Italy's statute of limitations.
He remained a senator and an influential political figure until his final years, not least because of his close ties with the Vatican. He died at his apartment in Rome, just a stone's throw from Vatican City.
In Ireland's war memorial gardens, the dates of both world wars are carved on a monument, even though the country remained neutral in World War II.
In order to fight in it, thousands of soldiers left the country and the Irish Army to join the British forces. They became known as deserters and their punishment came after the war when many of the soldiers headed
home to Ireland. They were barred from holding jobs paid for by the state, they lost their pension rights and many faced discrimination.
Last year the Irish government apologised for the way they were treated and on Tuesday Defence Minister Alan Shatter announced details of a pardon during a debate in Ireland's parliament, the Dail. The legislation is
expected to be passed and signed into law by the Irish president within days. The bill also grants an amnesty and immunity from prosecution to the almost 5,000 Irish soldiers who fought alongside the allies. Campaigners say only a handful of men are still alive, but it is a victory for their long battle to ensure the troops' service is properly recognised. Peter Mulvany,
coordinator of the Irish Soldiers Pardons Campaign, said: "It might be an historical issue for the politicians, but not for the families. It will be a recognition that the experience they went through post-war was unfair. It was a punishment that they should not have been given. This amnesty, this exoneration will remove that stigma."
North Korea 'removes' missiles from launch site North Korea has removed two medium-range missiles from a coastal launch site, indicating a lowering of tension on the peninsula, a US official said on Monday. Pyongyang was believed to be preparing for a launch last month, having
threatened attacks in the region. The threats followed tough new UN sanctions imposed on North Korea in March after its third nuclear test. It had also been angered by wide-ranging
annual US-South Korea military drills, which ended a week ago. The news that the missiles had been removed from the site on the east coast came on the eve of a summit in Washington between the US and South Korean presidents. Park Geun-hye
held talks with Barack Obama on Tuesday, during which the two leaders, as expected, reiterated their commitment to strong ties. Ms Park, who took office in February, will also address the US Congress on Wednesday.

Two die in a family boating tragedy
The brother of a 51-year-old man who was killed along with his daughter in a speedboat accident near Padstow has paid tribute to him. Nick Milligan, 51years old and a senior executive at BSkyB and managing director of Sky Media, and his daughter died after they were thrown from their boat into the Camel Estuary, Devon. His four-year-old son and 39-year-old wife had to be airlifted to hospital from the scene with “potentially life-changing injuries to their legs”, while his other two daughters aged 10 and 12 are said to have suffered minor injuries. The family were thrown from their boat which then continued to circle out of control on its own causing horrific injuries to the family. Local waterskiing
instructor, Charlie Toogood became the hero of the moment after jumping onto the speedboat, that was a rigid inflatable type, from another craft to turn its engine off. Matt Pavitt, of the North Cornwall Coastguard, added: "Without the intervention of the one person who did manage to get on board the vessel, we could have been dealing with a far more serious situation." The family, from London are understood to have been on holiday in the region over the Bank Holiday weekend. Speaking at a news conference in Bodmin, Max Milligan, Nick Milligan’s brother, said: "Nick, or Nico as he was known to us, was an extremely loving father and husband, son and brother who doted on his family. As children and teenagers we spent many
summers and New Year's Eves at New Polzeath here in Cornwall and a few years ago he built his dream home above Daymer Bay. That he and my delightful niece died in their favourite place at the end of a gloriously sunny Bank Holiday weekend provides us with a tiny glimmer of light. I'd like to thank the Devon and Cornwall Police and all the staff at Derriford Hospital who have been incredible over the last few days." Detective Superintendent Jim Colwell of Devon and Cornwall police said whether the kill cord on the boat operated correctly would form part of the investigation into the accident. A joint investigation has been launched by police and coastguard. Inquests will take place in due course.

Fancy your own island?
Well now you can have one if you have a spare £2.5 million sitting around. Tanera Mor, the only inhabited island in the Summer Isles archipelago 1.5 miles off northwest Scotland and consisting of 800 acres, nine residential properties, a post office, a flourishing tourist industry, three jetties for your visitors and bird colonies has been put up for sale. Previously dairy farmers in Wiltshire, present owners the Wilders bought it in 1996. It is currently managed by their daughter, Lizzie, and her husband Richard Williams.
Talks with the local community over a buyout were held, but it has now been put on the open market after the Coigach Community Development Company decided not to pursue the sale. Estate agent CKD Galbraith is now handling the sale and are expecting to see a lot of interest, describing Tanera Mor as a "flourishing tourist enterprise and superb family residence", with a guide price of £2.5m. The island inspired the book Island Farm by Frank Fraser Darling, who lived on Tanera Mor in the late 1930s and studied the habitat of its bird colonies.

Offshore Trust Assets report - part 1
Are you a UK expat but still a British Citizen? Do you hold assets in an offshore trust? If so, read on ...
The British government is constantly chipping away at the effectiveness of offshore trust structures in inheritance tax planning strategies for British citizens, and their latest changes to the way trusts are taxed have further reduced the usefulness of these tools for many. HMRC has recently announced a swoop on trusts that are being used to hide income and wealth overseas by those domiciled and non-domiciled in the UK. From May 2013, HMRC will be focussing on those who are deliberately evading tax through trusts that are formed under the laws of an offshore jurisdiction and those with overseas trusts who have not been keeping up with the changes in tax rules may also face penalties or even a jail sentence. Let’s first consider domicile and residence – it’s important to remember that there is a difference between them. This is a complex
area because according to the Revenue's own guidelines, "It is not possible to list all the factors that affect your domicile". But basically, there are two concepts: Residency is where you spend your time for tax purposes whilst alive. Whereas Domicile becomes crucial on your death.
RESIDENCE of Tax residence convenience DOES NOT work. If you become a tax resident in a tax haven (such as Gibraltar, Channel Islands or Malta) or even still consider yourself a UK tax resident and spend a short time there each year, it will not protect you, allowing you to spend as much time in any other country as you want. Simply saying "I am a resident of…" when you are spending a lot more time in Spain, for example, IS NOT a defence against being classed as a Spanish tax resident. The double-tax treaty, if one exists, will offer little protection. It’s difficult to hide, and is that really what you want? If your tax planning relies on your new country's tax authorities not realising you are there, think again. We

all leave a trail revealing our whereabouts – utility bills, mobile phone records, credit card and bank statements, as well as possible witness evidence from gardeners, cleaners, neighbours etc. Surely it is better to have a solid tax plan where all the facts are known and you are safe – and avoid the sleepless nights!
DOMICILE Your 'domicile of origin' is where your father's permanent home was. So, you could have been born in France, but if your father was English, your domicile of origin is Britain. You can change your domicile once you reach age 16, but you have to convince HMRC that you really have left the UK for foreign shores permanently. Just living abroad for a long time is not enough. Even considerations like where your driving licence was issued, whether you have become a citizen of your new country, and whether you have made funeral arrangements in your new country may form part of the decision making process by HMRC. Ultimately, it is your nation of domicile that determines whether the
British tax authorities can tax your estate upon death. Prior to 1991, it was possible for domicile and non-domicile UK residents to use offshore trusts and not pay capital gains tax, and for individuals of a certain wealth it was standard planning. In 1991 those rules changed to stop UK domiciles using offshore trusts and in 1998 these rules were extended to nondomiciles. Since 2008 the laws tightened further, demanding UK non doms pay a fee of between £30,000 and £50,000 a year for the privilege of an offshore trust and as soon as the money comes into the UK it becomes subject to capital gains tax.

Mirren stops the show again
Actress Helen Mirren, 67, was not amused on Saturday when a group of drummers outside the Gielgud Theatre in London where she was portraying The Queen in the play “The Audience” disturbed her performance. In a positively show-stopping performance she stormed out of the theatre dressed as the monarch to deliver an expletive-riddled tirade at the group for ruining the play for performers audience alike. and Despite some of the audience trying to silence them previously, it took the actress in full pearls and tiara costume telling them to shut up to do the trick and the drummers stopped immediately when they realized who she was. "I'm afraid there were a few 'thespian' words used. They got a very stern royal ticking off but I have to say they were very sweet and they stopped immediately. I literally walked straight off stage,
straight up the stairs and straight out the stage door and banged my way through the crowd who were watching and said 'stop, you've got to stop right now' only I might have used stronger language than that. They were very sweet and stopped the minute they knew I wasn't just a batty old woman haranguing them on the streets of Soho on a Saturday night. I felt rotten, but on the other hand they were destroying our performance so something had to be done," she said.
Liam Emerson, the musical director of the Batala London drummers who had been hired to advertise a gay festival later in May, said they had not intended to disturb anyone. "Her language was very blue, which looking back on it is probably quite funny really. But once I realised it was Helen Mirren and we were right next to a theatre we kind of stopped and politely apologised."
BCCG - a personal view from a reader
"The safer the place where you put your money, the more you pay for it," said a banking friend in Jersey in July 1991, a few days after the Bank of England closed the Bank of Credit & Commerce, Gibraltar. More than five thousand depositors, mainly British pensioners in Malaga Province, saw their savings of £83 million wiped out overnight. BCCG had offered interest rates which were slightly higher than the norm, tempting many myself depositors, included. Most had no idea that BCCG was not an entirely 'safe place' to put their money. 'Closure' for me has come after nearly 22 years: the initial shock, tears and frustration but the reassurance that the BCCG Liquidators were doing their level best to get our money back. This, all praise to them, they have now accomplished. In the early 1990s I worked for a Middle Eastern airline; I had a
Pakistani secretary. Two condemnatory articles about the Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI), founded by a Pakistani Moh'd Abedi, had appeared in 'Time' magazine. I discussed these with my secretary and when I mentioned that I had funds with BCCG, he sucked in his breath and shook his head. Those two 'Time' articles and his unspoken advice were enough to set the alarm bells ringing. Something else that had me wondering was that BCCI was to be owned in part by Sheik Zayed of Abu Dhabi and his family. Using my airline transportation privilege I made a quick trip home in April and confronted the Manager of BCCG. He spread his hands in typically Asian fashion and told me that BCCG was fully backed by the Bank of England. How very mistaken he was! I called my wife and sensibly we decided to shift the bulk of our funds,
leaving a few thousand in Gibraltar for emergencies. But what had happened to the Gibraltar depositors' money? Most had been moved to Grand Cayman via London and placed in an unregulated BCCI subsidiary 'International Credit & Investment Company' – in effect a banking limbo where billions of dollars simply disappeared. It is said that from there the CIA syphoned funds off for 'black projects'. One last anecdote: A BCCG depositor living on the Costa del Sol drove to Gibraltar on Friday, July 5th, planning to shift his funds elsewhere. He was taken ill and drove home, planning to return after the weekend. But he had left it all too late...

Region scores record drug busts
Andalusia was the scene of two recording-breaking drug trafficking gang busts over the past few days. The Guardia Civil busted a gang of traffickers who used jet skis to smuggle huge amounts of hashish across the Strait from Morocco and arrested 30 people. Among those arrested was the presumed ringleader, an Italian national resident in Spain, who ran an extensive network of suppliers, couriers and distributers as well as businesses to launder the illicit proceeds.
In raids on seven houses, the Guardia seized half a tonne of hashish as well as 11 vehicles, three ships and two firearms. The hashish was brought most of the way over from Morocco in fishing boats then transferred to couriers on jetskis who then delivered the drug to shore. An Interior Ministry spokesman said the hashish was stored in a

Illegal migrants increase
Princess Cristina’s subpoena suspended Things may be bad in Spain but they're even worse in Africa. The provincial High Court of Palma de Mallorca has decided to remove Princess Cristina from the list of official suspects in the investigation into the business dealings of her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, and his former business partner Diego Torres.
The decision is based on what the court perceived as a lack of evidence against King Juan Carlos’s youngest daughter. A threemagistrate panel ruled two to one in favour of public prosecutor Pedro Horrach, who had called for the subpoena issued against the princess to be withdrawn. The princess had been summoned to
appear before Judge José Castro on April 27th to answer questions about the business activities of the non-profit Nóos Institute, of which Urdangarin was president and Cristina listed as a spokesperson, board member and advisor.
Urdangarin is accused of siphoning off millions of euros of public money through Nóos to private companies by overinvoicing for sports and tourism events in the Balearics and Valencia regions. The two magistrates who voted to suspend the princess’s summons asked the judge to formulate more solid evidence of a possible financial crime.
Judge dismisses new story from Marta’s killer A Seville judge on Friday dismissed a complaint against the brother of the convicted killer of 17-yearold Marta del Castillo, whose body has still not been found four years after the crime. Miguel Carcaño, the teenager’s boyfriend and originally selfconfessed murderer, had given investigators six different versions of events, leading them on wild goose chases for Marta’s body in dumps, fields and the Guadalquivir River.
Two weeks ago, Carcaño told the police that it was his stepbrother Francisco Javier Delgado, a security guard, who killed Marta when the two men were fighting over money. Marta tried to stop them and Delgado hit her on the head with the butt of his gun. Carcaño said he merely helped dispose of the body. Again, no specific burial site was provided. Judge Francisco de Asís Molina criticized the police for awarding credibility to this new, “non-rigorous” and “unlikely” version of events from Carcaño, who claims he was too scared of his stepbrother to accuse him until now. The judge said the police should not have taken another statement from Carcaño, especially when he has already been convicted of a crime against the moral integrity
N
of Marta’s family as a result of his constant lies, which gave relatives false hope of being able to give her a proper burial.

IN BRIEF
As a result, the number of illegal migrants trying to enter Spain along its southern coast is on the increase, after three years of falling figures. Africans coming from the south have used rickety old boats in the past but the latest way of crossing the Strait is by inflatable plastic dinghies made for children to splash about in at the beach – under parental supervision, of course.
The spokeswoman for one NGO, Caminando Fronteras (Walking Frontiers) has worked 11 years in northern Morocco and has a lot of experience in this area. Helena Maleno told a local newspaper that kids' inflatables are easy to acquire, even though they're more expensive in Morocco. "But they're cheaper than paying the people trafficking gangs to get you across the Strait," she said. The people who
take the risk of travelling in them are men and women between the ages of 17 and 30, many of whom have a good education and can speak two or more languages. They want to work and have a better life, far away from the famine and wars that plague their countries, Maleno said. "They know the inflatables are fragile but they can't pay the traffickers and their need to get away is so great they're prepared to take the risk."

1000 properties legalised
Years after the approval of the General Urban Plan (PGOU) the town hall has legalised 1,000 homes and a hotel by means of a system of compensations designed to normalise the town after all the irregularities produced during the Gil governments. Socialist opposition spokesman José Bernal said it was a poor result because the PGOU had originally provided for the legalisation of 16,500 properties. He has asked to see the minutes of the meetings with the developers who he said should bear the economic burden of the situation, and not the people who bought the properties in good faith.
The figures presented by the tax chief in Algeciras, Juan Cisneros, show that more and more people are getting desperate. "A lot of people prefer our crisis, their desperation is

understandable," he said. In 2011, the internment centre in Algeciras attended to 3,141 migrants. Last year that number had risen to 5,000.
This year it is expected to be much higher as the Guardia Civil's sea rescue boats continue to pick up inflatables carrying 11 or so migrants a couple of times a week, and this figure will rise as the summer and a kinder sea approaches. No-one will ever know how many migrants drowned before they reached Spanish shores.

should be easy, they think. Maleno said some migrants spend three or four months hiding from the Moroccan authorities while they wait for an opportunity to cross the Strait. "Some hide in the woods and beg for food, while others hide in rooms along with 15 to 30 other people whose only food is maize and flour", Maleno said.

Contradictions
I
couldn't believe my eyes when I opened a local English-language newspaper last week to find film director Pedro Almodóvar predicting violent protests across Spain on May 1st. The article came out of the blue I hadn't seen it in any Spanish newspaper and it must have been days old. In fact I later discovered it was printed in The Guardian - who else thinks Almodóvar sits on the right hand of God - on April 27th. In what I presume was an exclusive interview with the Guardian's correspondent in Madrid, Almodóvar said he was worried about social unrest but that doesn't stop him from backing the Mortgage Victims' Platform who are protesting very rowdily outside the homes of government members - although we haven't heard too much about them lately. A typical leftie, he throws a stone then hides his hand, saying , "that [the latest unemployment figures] doesn't mean I am inciting anyone to violence. It is quite the opposite. I would invite everyone to react, but in the most peaceful way possible." Typical leftie double talk. He understands people's frustrations can lead them to act violently - which he deplores, of course - but the fact that he "understands" their violence will encourage some lefties to act violently - because Almodóvar feels for them and as we all know he sits on the right hand of God. This violence the anti-system mob believe - will eventually rouse the great Spanish people to rebel and bring about the Revolution when we will all live in the most perfect of worlds.
I
apologise for sounding so p****d off but Almodóvar has gotten up my nose ever since he declared after the March 2004 election that Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was about to usher in 1,000 years of Socialism - shades of the Third Reich. Further on in the interview, he confesses that Zapatero is no longer his hero. "It is not just disappointment. His last four years were a monumental disaster." This makes me suspect he has moved further left and is now an ardent admirer of the United Left, aka the Communist Party. I wonder how long it will take for him to become disillusioned with them.
A
lmodóvar rose to prominence during the so-called "movida" which started during the transition from dictatorship to democracy (1975-1978) when life in Madrid especially, but in the rest of Spain as well, was just one long party in which "anything went", as a reaction to the nearly four decades of Franco's sexual repression.
Almodóvar, who was working at the state telephone company, perceived it as a halcyon time of unfettered freedom and unbounded optimism. Now he says: "It has taken me 30 years to realise it, but this country is socially conservative."
D
espite Almodóvar's prediction, the May Day protests in more than 80 cities across Spain drew just about half the number of people as they did last year - as even the unions who organised the marches admitted. Now this is rather paradoxical. Here we have record unemployment, yet on their very own day, the workers didn't take to the streets.
T
hen again, as the Englishlanguage newspaper article omitted to mention, the muchvaunted "siege" of Parliament on April 25th, which was supposed to hole up MPs for days, ended by 8 pm the same day and drew as many protesters as policemen - around 1,400. Another paradox. What happened was that the usual groups of protesters got wind of the fact that the anti-system groups who organised the siege were planning on violence so they stayed away.

ould it be that the great Spanish public wants nothing to do with the "dictatorship of the proletariat" - a concept former PM Felipe Gonzalez purged for the Socialist Party's manifesto way back in 1980, because he wanted to win the next election and knew the Spanish people wouldn't vote for anything that sounded like Communism. They remembered too well that party's miserable performance during the civil war, when the Communists were too busy eliminating rivals on the left to fight against Franco. And we all know how that ended.So Gonzalez threatened to resign as party leader unless all vestiges of Communist jargon were eradicated from Socialist Party literature. He got his way and won the 1982 general election to become the country's longest-running Socialist PM. That's one leftie who knows what he's doing, which can't be said of the rest of them

T
he foreign policy objectives the Rajoy administration has tried to carry out during the past 18 months that the Partido Popular (PP) has been in office have fallen flat, turning into embarrassing dilemmas the prime minister hopes will just go away. Last week, diplomatic observers saw a new gargantuan slip when Foreign Minister José Manuel García-Margallo offered to play international mediator between the newly sworn-in Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro, which many countries have been hesitant for now to formally recognise, and the country’s opposition, whose leader Henrique Capriles is demanding a full recount of the April 14th vote he says was plagued with irregularities. Backing down from his previous pledge to hold a vote audit, President Maduro told Margallo - and, of course, the entire Spanish government - to “keep his nose” out of Venezuela’s affairs. This slap in the face occurred just days after Spain, stepping out of line with the rest of the European Union, decided to go on its own and recognise Maduro’s win.
I
t isn’t any wonder why a conservative government is so anxious to close this chapter on the controversial Venezuelan presidential election narrowly won albeit with many questions still at hand - by a Cuban-sponsored misguided leftist movement that suddenly found itself orphaned on March 5th when its leader President Hugo Chávez died from cancer without leaving any clear future direction. Maduro was Chávez’s handpicked successor; Chávez asked his followers last December to vote for his standing vice president when he realised that he may not pull through from his final cancer surgery.

lthough small compared to previous years before Chávez went on a nationalization binge, Spanish investments in Venezuela still thrive but Rajoy needs to see more sprouts in South America. The PP government had been pondering on ways to make peace with Maduro in order to win back some of those juicy oil exploration ventures that Repsol lost under Chávez - including the exploitation of newly found reserves in the Gulf of Maracaibo - to rake in much-needed hard cash for Madrid.
B
ut to do so, the PP must put aside its traditional right-wing philosophies, even overlooking international law, at least publicly, to win appeasements from Caracas.
“La Gaceta,” one of the conservative right’s own mouthpieces, reported on Monday that Maduro has at least 15 ETA members on the government’s payroll. This gang of terrorists include the international fugitive José Arturo Cubillas Fontán, who supervises a string of Venezuelan public companies that manage land and food supplies, and who earns more money than Maduro himself. Cubillas has been wanted by the Spanish National Court since 2010 for allegedly helping ETA aid the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and on suspicions of conspiracy to commit political assassinations. Socialist Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero also had been put in the same uncomfortable position when he learned of the court’s warrant; he remained reluctant to demand that Chávez hand over Cubillas. At the time, PP hardliners insisted that Zapatero cut off all ties with Venezuela for harbouring wanted terrorists, and ruthlessly criticized him for cowardice. But today those voices are silent.
F
oreign policy has always been a one-up, one-down business, but it is usually mapped out with lots of discretion. The PP has been far from discreet. With the overwhelming domestic problems spinning out of the government’s control, Rajoy doesn’t need to push any international adversary into a corner who could be useful in the future to help him out of this unprecedented socio-economic crisis. Keep your enemies close and put a lid on your hypocritical principles.

Recovering
earty thanks to our readers for the warmest wishes for a speedy recovery following my dopey performance on a stairwell at a friend’s home on the afternoon of May 4th, when I reached down to tie my tennis shoe on a narrow step (like you should do) and literally went tumbling down one flight. Because I was conscious (thank goodness) the Madrid emergency medical SAMUR unit declined to send an ambulance (regional government cutbacks), and I had to get to La Paz Hospital with the help of dear friends who kept close watch during my ordeal. The arm brace should be off soon and the stitches on my brow removed in the coming days, but that shiner on the left eye will take longer to fade away. Ah, the perils of living in the big city.

It’s time to formally become a tax resident in Spain According to the Spanish law all individuals who are living in Spain for more than 183 days a year are tax residents in Spain, and have to pay taxes in Spain for their worldwide income.
Many foreigners living in Spain permanently, (for more than 183 days a year), do not pay any taxes in Spain, or submit annual income tax returns. Some do not submit annual tax returns out of ignorance of the law, and others because they are afraid of paying high taxes. Everyone should be aware that ignorance of the law is no excuse, A tax return should be submitted annually, and taxes should be paid when applicable by all tax residents in Spain. Up to date, the Spanish Inland Revenue has not been controlling the situation of those foreigners living

permanently in Spain, despite the fact that the authorities are aware of this important group of people. Now the situation has changed. Due to the financial crisis, the Spanish government intends to tighten up its control of all foreigners living in Spain to ensure that they pay taxes where due, and thus avoid thousands of people receiving free health services without paying taxes and without having the legal right to get them. The Spanish government has decided to be stricter with the legal requirements that allow people to get Spanish health cards. Unlike in the past, now it will not be enough to just register with the local Town Hall (“Empadronamiento”) in order to get treatment.
Therefore, NOW is the time to formally become a tax resident in Spain by submitting your annual
income tax return for the tax year 2012, This should be done during the months of May and June 2013.
There are many good reasons for doing this. It will enable foreign residents to: 1. Confirm to the Spanish tax authorities without doubt, that they, the tax resident, is living in Spain, and paying taxes when applicable.
2. Have the legal right to receive a health card which allows access to the Spanish public health system.
3. Avoid the 3% withholding tax when a real estate property is sold. This tax is applicable to foreigners who sell a property and cannot prove that they are a tax resident in Spain. 4. Benefit from the inheritance tax
advantages and allowances applicable to tax residents in Spain (i.e. lower inheritance taxes between spouses on the main home).
5. Be considered a tax resident in Spain, thus avoiding the income tax applicable to non-resident foreigners who are owners of a real estate property in Spain (tax form 210).
It is important to mention that most foreigners living in Spain are pensioners with low monthly pensions, so they should be aware that they probably will not have to pay any income tax in Spain as the result of their tax return would most likely be zero. However, it is still recommendable to submit an annual tax return, (even if the result is zero and no tax has to be paid), to enable them to be able to take advantage of the above points.
CONCLUSION: If you are foreigner living permanently in Spain (for more than 183 days between 1st January 2012 and 31st December 2012) I would recommend that you submit an annual income tax return during the months of May and June 2013, for the tax year 2012. By so doing you are confirming to the Spanish tax authorities that you are, without doubt, a tax resident in Spain, you will avoid any potential problems, or fines, and will have all the legal rights that the Spanish Laws recognises are due to all individuals residing legally in Spain and duly paying their taxes here.

The golden age of golf in the 19th century will make particular reference to ladies’ golf and the emergence of professional golf later on.

The RAFA Benalmadena Branch monthly Social Meeting at the beginning of the month has been changed to a new location and day. It will now be held on the first Monday of the month, at Hotel Tamisa Golf, starting at 13.00 hours.
The format will be mostly the same with quizes, raffle, information and chat, except that, initially, lunch will be available by choice from a menu at a reduction of 20% off the normal price.
There is also a 20% reduction off the bar prices plus some other offers such as free extra coffee if you pay for one.
The first meeting in the new venue was on Monday 6th May.

Married to Lady Julia Taylor for 45 years they have two sons and five grandchildren. Lady Taylor is very actively involved in various charities including Chairperson of MacMillan Palace of Varieties Cancer Charity and President of Spalding Mencap. Lord Taylor is a straight
talking politician who is not frightened to say what he thinks especially with his opposition to further EU integration. Hear what he has to say on a large range of issues and enjoy a nice meal at the same time. Tickets are available from Maggie on 952 590 867.
Mijas Foreign Residents Office Moves After over 28 years up in Mijas village, the much respected Mijas town hall foreign residents department has moved to the beach. As of a couple of weeks ago the department relocated to a more central location in La Cala de Mijas. The new office will offer the same helpful services to all foreigners living permanently or temporarily in the Mijas / Mijas Costa municipality. Fluent in Spanish and English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, French and German they are a valuable bridge between foreign residents and to some what seems like a mountain of mind boggling Spanish paper work. As such the department has helped
SPVA instead of sending them to the Embassy or Consulate. This means that customers living in Spain will not be able to obtain help from the British Embassy or Consulate with war pension claims or payments. Should you have any
queries about the changes you should contact the SPVA on the Helpline number +44 1253 866043. You can also email the SPVA on veterans.help@spva.gsi.uk

in red, white and green to represent the colours of the Italian flag. Italian music played in the background and a convivial amount of chatting accompanied!
Thanks to you all
After the very sudden death of my husband, the Rev Canon Alan Maude, I would like to say ‘thank you’ to the many people who have sent cards, flowers and messages of support. These have been a great strength to me. Everyone has been so kind but I would specially like to thank the Police and the Paramedics for the kindness shown to me, and to Maria Read who was such a great help. ‘Thank you’ also to our two churches in San Pedro and Sotogrande for all the love, and the prayer support. God bless you. Marjorie Maude

The best in the world? Very recently The World Cruise ship sailed into Malaga port to take on supplies and some special orders. Following are some interesting facts about life on The World: With 55,000 sq. ft of luxurious public spaces The World Cruise ship is considered to be the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest 5-star rated private yacht. The ship is owned by its residents who currently number 130 families who hail from 19 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and South Africa. They live in unbridled luxury on board as the ship circumnavigates the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans. Itineraries are determined approximately two years in advance by a team comprised of a Resident Itinerary Committee, the Captains and Director of Itinerary and Destination Planning. Every corner of the globe is a possibility. In 2012 The World voyaged to 31 different countries, resulting in a different locale every few days. Longer stays in port average 3 to 5 days and allow residents to explore these destinations, all of which are chosen for their individuality, authenticity and allure. There are some residents who live on the ship all year round, with the majority continuing to be active in their professional lives and spending three to four
months on board. The average occupancy at one time is 150 residents so the atmosphere is quite intimate. The average age of residents is 64 with 35% under 50. Residents tend to be very active, entrepreneurial and philanthropic, and they have a thirst for knowledge, adventure and travel. The World was the brainchild of Knut U. Kloster Jr. His family had been in the cruise ship industry for a long time. It was built in Rissa Norway, although her hull was built in Landskrona, Sweden, by Ă&#x2013;resundsvarvet, and it was then towed to Fosen Mekaniske Verksted in Rissa, Norway, for completion. She was launched in March 2002. In October, 2003, the residents purchased it. ResidenSea manages the operation and administration of the entire ship including hiring numerous employees that offer various services such as photography, housekeeping, beauty treatments and other facilitators on board. The ship has various facilities similar to cruise ships, but it is a unique vessel. If the hype is to be believed these were the prices as of 2010: Studio (Ocean Studio 661), 328 sq ft (30.5 m2), list price of US$600,000. 2 Bed (Ocean Residence 1006), 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath,
list price US$2,950,000. Suite (World Suite 1108/1110), list price of US$13,500,000. Monthly homeowner rates range from $20,000 per month (for the smaller units) and up, and cover fuel, crew, maintenance and a meal allowance for the owner. The World has lavish fitness centres and spas by The Banyan tree firm. It is the only ship that has a full sized tennis court, internet cafes, casinos, chapels, heated swimming pools, aquatic marina pursuits, and seven eateries, tons of books and DVD libraries, a deli and four bars. The crew to passenger ratio is 2:1 giving the vessel a very exceptional service that can guarantee to beat the best in the world. There is entertainment to suit all tastes and a library theatre and music performances. In addition to land excursions there are also classes offered on board in language, dance, cooking, navigation, arts and crafts, computers music and photography. It also has a high speed internet access in all residences.

Birds on the Wing - The Hoopoe
The striking pinky coloured bird with black and white striped wings and a crest that you see visiting your lawn is the Hoopoe Most Hoopoes spend their winter in Africa but a few spend their winter here. Those that go to Africa start to move north through Andalucía at the beginning of February while the Hoopoes that spend their summer in
W
NE
Andalucía arrive during March.
The Hoopoes pair only for a summer. Some birds pair up again before returning to Africa in the Autumn but many wait until they return in the
Spring. The first thing the male does on his return is select a territory and begin to make his well-known "poop-poop" song, whilst bowing his beak rhythmically to his breast. When
a
female
is
attracted, vigorous chases take place with the male calling loudly and raising his crest up and down. The pair then choose a nest hole where seven to eight eggs are laid.
Incubation is by the female and nestlings appear slightly over two weeks later. The young are cared for and fed by the female while the male brings food to the nest hole, which he rarely enters. The nestlings are ready to fly after about four weeks and are continued to be fed by the male for some time while the female incubates another clutch of eggs. Up to four broods can be produced in one year. If you do happen to come across a Hoopoe's nest, refrain from peering into the hole because both the parent and chick have a
remarkably accurate aim with their foul-smelling, liquid faeces! Towards the end of the year you may suddenly find yourself thinking "Where have all the Hoopoes gone?" Well, by
the end of October the majority have gone back to Africa.

Garden group Table-top sale TODAY! The speaker at last month’s Andalucian Garden Group’s meeting was Dr Keith Ferguson who was the Deputy Keeper of the Herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and Head of the Pollen Unit. His subject was “Pollen” and what a fascinating one it was! With the use of some wonderful slides he introduced the group to the incredibly beautiful and diverse world types of pollen. So many! Some were like snowflakes and each one so different. He showed how so much knowledge of the past and also the present can be discovered by the study of the different pollens.
This month the Andalucian Garden Group has something totally different. Michael from Ebb Tide will be showing the group the sculptures he makes from the wood and drift-wood he finds in the forests and on the sea shore. He will also demonstrate how these need not be just decorative

St ar t r ek: In t o Dar kn eSS Directed by JJ Abrams Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch
Unalloyed joy for Star Trek fans who will be setting phasers to stun and and boldly going to a nearby cinema to catch the second instalment in the JJ Abrams reboot of the famous franchise. His 2009 movie reintroduced us to the very young Kirk, Spock, Bones et al pre-TV series and was a massive hit. The second (or 11th if you add it to the Star Trek canon) in the series sees the characters a little older
and subtly more rounded.
Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch plays the villain with real relish and charisma – he is rogue Starfleet officer John Harrison who makes his mark by laying waste to London and blowing up a Starfleet conference in Los Angeles before beaming himself up to Kronos, planet of the Klingons.
In the meantime Kirk has broken the prime directive to save Spock and
the two men are at daggers drawn. But of course they get over this blip in their relationship and it’s all aboard the USS Enterprise for an exhilarating ride to seek out Harrison.
There are – of course – stunning special effects including a breathtaking warp speed space chase, and warm witty dialogue to help everything crack along at a thrilling pace. Star Trek fans will love it – there’s plenty of sly references for fans to pick
up on. And newcomers will want to find out more about the characters and what makes them tick – so roll on the third instalment!
JJ Abrams has been entrusted with directing Star Wars following Disney’s acquisition of the rights from George Lucas. On the evidence of what the director has done with Star Trek we should be licking our lips with anticipation.

hen I read Albert Pierrepoint’s book about his career as the Government’s executioner, I was fascinated. It was an incredibly interesting book in which he explained how he came to be hangman, what his training consisted of and highlighted the social difficulties that his work implied.
W
ell it seems someone else also enjoyed Mr. Pierrepoint’s book, and decided to make a film out of it.
T
his, I am afraid, was a mistake. The film, starring Timothy Spall as Albert Pierrepoint, claims to be based on a true story. What it should have read is ‘based on actual events’. The film follows Pierrepoint’s life from when he started his job in 1933 to his resignation in 1955. It takes a special kind of personality to be a successful executioner… strong enough not to get emotional, yet sensitive enough to be dignified and respectful. As well as possessing all these traits and more, Pierrepoint was also the quickest and most effective, ensuring an immediate and painless death.
F
ield Marshall Montgomery actually sent for Albert to go to Germany and execute the
Nazi war criminals at the end of the war. When he returned, he was disturbed to find that his ‘cover’ had been blown, so to speak, and was being hailed as a hero but adulation turned to derision when he carried out Ruth Ellis’s sentence.
S
o, all interesting reading but nothing really to make a story out of, hence a few liberties were taken. The little storyline inserted was nothing really more than that of Albert’s friend ‘Tish (played by the wonderful character actor Eddie Marsen) who has a doomed love affair and ends up facing Albert under the worst circumstances.
I
t is a poignant little tale, and the film is true to what British film makers are good at, namely authentic period pieces, jolly pub singalongs, wartime fashions and 50’s morals. The script was respectable, and the acting was good but it just wasn’t enough to save the film.
I
have the greatest respect for such an unenviable job and although Pierrepoint‘s book was informative and at times quite amusing, the subject of hanging is not entertaining and no cute little story woven into the movie is going to make it so.

Survival and all that accompanies good living is high on your radar, your ability to earn and how you go about it is paramount to you right now. All those things that you value most are highlighted and other things will seem insignificant by comparison. This week is about reconnecting with your priorities and honing in on what matters most. The effort you put in now can bring you rich rewards later on so it goes without saying that the more you do, the more you reap later on.
This week you have the ability to be far more objective than of late and see things far more clearly without having much emotional attachment or investment in what is going on around you. It will be as if you are viewing your life like you are watching a movie. By stepping away from a situation you will be able to see the best way to navigate without getting emotionally swept away by other people’s opinions and emotions. Refuse to cave into negativity. You have the potential to rise to the heights right now where your levels of status, honour and fame ignite and shine making you a magnet or beacon to others. Some may resent your success but that is bound to happen, if you remain humble and down to earth then no-one can criticise your good fortune. Everybody seems to be waiting for you to do or say something to get something started, they may not like what you say but they will respect you for speaking the truth. You have either been working too hard or worrying too much, you need to lighten up and indulge in some good hearted humour which will allow you to shed a world of weight from your shoulders. Sometimes it just takes a good dose of something different in your day which can put things properly into perspective. Your most cherished connections get a boost renewing something that had gone south or felt stale.
October 22nd
Sometimes, in order for something to attain balance, if things have been so off kilter, then the pendulum needs to swing entirely in the other direction first. Witnessing this is harder than experiencing it - but before certain realisations can occur sometimes this is essential before balance can be restored. If things are reaching an extreme, then by the weekend where there is a will, there will be a way. There is a lot more to you than meets the eye.
SAGITTARIUS
There are things you know you could do that, if you make time for, could in turn have a way of increasing that one precious resource you feel you are running out of, energy. You are being pulled in a myriad of directions and if you are not solid and centred, you will be of little use for anything or anybody. You know what you need and that equals simple spaces with minimal drama. You November 22nd - need peace and some down time to nourish your base. December 21st

...you don’t have to be a chef!
This is such a great traditional Spanish meal. No side dishes of vegetables; it’s all inclusive. Although I like both the seafood and the meat paella, having both all in one meal is the best of both worlds. So I’ve taken hints from everyone including Spanish family friends about how to make it, and this is the one for me. You have to invest in a large Paella pan though! Paul Young.
Something in your life is coming to full circle now, tying up the loose ends and clearing any residue chaos is where your attention needs focus. There seems to be much happening ‘behind the scenes’ on your behalf and in order to truly benefit it would be beneficial to remain proactive. Your choices and actions that will determine the outcome, the events taking place can take you in very different directions and have very different outcomes. Allow your dreams to come true.
Right now it is all about you and your individualism, the more willing you are to drop your mask and show others the real you deep inside, the better off you will be. When you reveal the real you, you will realise that you have all the right qualities that everybody on the planet is looking for. By the weekend your perspective is likely to change and you will see something in a new light and September 23rd - from this all sorts of possibilities can occur.

Do not let the little things that pop up out of nowhere throw you off your centre. There will always be a way through and an opportunity for you to shine, it is just sometimes you need a bit more patience and faith. Try not to limit your potential to your current conditions, as the more down to earth and at ease with yourself you become the more others are drawn and attracted to you. Your creativity is ultra high at the moment and an outlet for expression is calling you. At times you live on the edge Aquarius and right now the universe has the ways and the means to help those way out ideas and dreams of yours come true. The hardest part for some is to realise that it all doesn't happen at once, it is more of a case that one thing will eventually lead to the other. Home and family mean a lot to you and you will find that they have more of a need for company recently, so make time to show those you care for the love and affection they crave. This week sees your energy levels returning to normal giving you a sense of gusto and grit to your personality. If there has been anything building, things you have wanted to say and haven’t, prepare for the outpour. You may even find yourself opening your mouth only to keep on talking until there is literally nothing left to say, however, be mindful of your delivery. You are standing up for yourself now and that is very attractive to others.

Adults need to walk more to keep themselves fit
A YouGov survey of 2,000 adults for the walking charity The Ramblers found that 25% of adults walk for no more than one hour each week, while another 43 per cent reported walking for less than two hours a week.
Government guidelines suggest people should do 150 minutes of "moderate" physical activity each week. The survey asked people about the total
amount of walking they did, including trips to school, work or the shops. The Ramblers, which

A spokesman said: "Walking is one of the most accessible and achievable ways to truly conquer this inactivity pandemic in Britain and we need to get started now." Public health minister Anna Soubry, said walking was "one of the best ways to keep healthy", and that she supported the initiative.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) advises that moderate intensity aerobic activity is the most effective type of activity for maintaining a healthy heart.
Moderate intensity activities should make a person feel warmer, breathe harder and make their heart beat faster than usual, but they should still be able to have a conversation.
The BHF advises 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity each week, although a spokesman noted: "Walking is the easiest and cheapest way to keep fit. You can walk anytime, anywhere and you don't need any equipment." He added that there was longstanding evidence to support a link between walking and mental health benefits.
He said walking can elevate a person's mood, lessen feelings of depression and allow a person to think more clearly. He added that 30 minutes of brisk walking each day would bring substantial health benefits.

Slayer dies At the age of just 49, Jeff Hanneman, a co-founder of the seminal heavy metal group Slayer, died of liver failure at around 11am last Thursday at a hospital in southern California with his wife, Kathy, by his side. Hanneman was a founding member of Slayer, which was known as one of the 'big four' thrash metal groups of the 1980s – along with Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. Slayer released nine studio albums and played at thousands of live shows over almost three decades of performing. He had been suffering from a flesh-eating disease that was thought to have started following a spider bite in 2011 which almost caused him to have his arm amputated after he failed to seek immediate medical attention. However, he had
started writing songs again recently with the thought of the band releasing a new album later in the year and the band are due to play a series of gigs, including Spain’s Resurrection Festival and the Bloodstock Open Air Festival in Derbyshire in the UK in August of this year. Hanneman is best known as a writer of the songs Raining Blood and Angel Of Death from the 1986 album Reign In Blood, which is regarded as a landmark of the genre. Musicians who paid tribute on Twitter included Guns N Roses guitarist Slash. He tweeted: "Tragic and shocking news about Jeff Hanneman. He is going to be missed by so many. What a sad day for Metal. RIP man." No postmortem has been carried out so far.

responded from the heart in a spontaneous and simultaneous desire to be there and to do what we can for the city we love."
All proceeds from the concert will go to The One Fund, which was set up by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police four days later. The ethnic Chechen's younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was wounded in the April 19 shootout, is being held in a nearby prison facility.

The mocking bird fights back The author of classic To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee, 87, is suing her literary agent's son-inlaw, Samuel Pinkus, to claim back the copyright of the book and is seeking unspecified damages.
She claims that he took advantage of her declining hearing and eyesight to secure the book's copyright and that he failed to properly protect the copyright after his fatherin-law, Eugene Winick – who had represented Ms Lee’s interests since the book was published in 1960 through the firm McIntosh and Otis –

The book – the only novel Ms Lee ever published – tells the story of two children growing up in a small southern US town and addresses racial injustice, as the children's lawyer father is selected to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. The man is convicted despite his obvious innocence. To Kill a Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and is widely studied in schools. The film version, starring Gregory Peck, won three Academy Awards.
The author has no memory of agreeing to relinquish her rights or signing any transfer agreement, according to court papers. Ms Lee, who lives in Monroeville, Alabama, has asked the

court to reassign any rights owned by Mr Pinkus and pay back any royalties he has received since 2007. "The transfer of ownership of an author's copyright to her agent is incompatible with her agent's duty of loyalty; it is a gross example of selfdealing," the lawsuit says.

The flashes are in the form of Morse Code, so one gets a series of dots (short flashes) and dashes (longer ones). From one’s navigation chart it can be seen what code any particular lighthouse sends out. Distance away, is calculated using triangulation So again by using the
During my 30 years as a London mounted policeman sailing was my hobby. On my retirement I bought a yacht and went off sailing. First the Med and then the Caribbean before returning to Greece where I spent 10 summers working in the yacht charter business before “swallowing the anchor” and retiring ashore here in Spain. With many Channel crossings, 15 Biscay crossings and five Atlantic crossings both East and West, I have had some experience with ‘lights’. I suspect that you will have many long and complicated views about navigation using lighthouses etc. So perhaps a short summary from me would help. Each ‘light’ whether it be a lighthouse, lightvessel, buoy or beacon has its own unique characteristics ie:1. the distinctive way in which the light goes on and off.

measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly (trilateration). The point can then be fixed, as the third point of a triangle, with one known side and two known angles.

2. colour 3. period: the time taken for one complete cycle of the characteristics 4. elevation: the height of the light above MHWS. 5. range: the distance the light will ‘throw’ in normal visibility. The characteristics are printed alongside the light symbol on the navigational charts and also in nautical almanacs. Once a light has been identified with the use of compass bearings, reference to the height tables, state of tide height, etc the position of the vessel from the ‘light’ can be determined and is known as ‘distance off’. By transferring all these factors on to your chart you can determine your position in relation to the light and more importantly the coast or point of danger. In fog the ‘light’ source will also sound a fog signal which itself has its own characteristics but obviously
many things can affect these signals and much, much greater caution is need to navigate by them. When I was studying for my RYA exams in the late 70’s and early 80’s the standard required for being able to navigate in costal waters was very high and I remember spending many hours pouring over charts and books to understand the requirements. Nowadays, of course, much of this needed knowledge has been superseded with the advent of relatively cheap GPS receivers, AIS etc or even the common I-phone, but these can’t replace the pleasure of seeing the light of Brighton marina ‘come up’ after a crossing from the French coast appearing exactly where it should have been after a dark night dodging east-west channel shipping and the tidal flows of the English channel.
Paul Keller
In your editorial you asked a very interesting question – distance off a known reference point whilst at sea. Should you be sailing up the coast from Marbella to Malaga at some point you will see El Faro Lighthouse. When it first appears you take a compass bearing. Thirty minutes later you take another compass bearing of El Faro. At the time of taking these bearings you transfer the compass bearings to your “chart”. You already know the course you are steering from your ship’s compass, so this is then transferred to your chart. You will then end up with a triangle from the shore to the boat which will then give you your “Distance off” a fixed point. El Faro is the fixed point
Mijas
and you now have two bearings from the boat to the lighthouse, hence the triangle which you have drawn on your chart. You mention that you could look it up on Google so try this! Type in “Calculate Distance “off” a single reference point” Choose the You Tube explanation and I am sure that it will explain more fully. Sailing has been my life and it was lovely to read that you were asking a nautical question. Hope this points you in the right direction. Best wishes and good sailing.
Editor says: These letters are in reply to a question in my column a couple of weeks ago about how far away a lighthouse was so, thanks everyone, I shall now feel safer on a boat!

Happy Birthday Skylab
F
This week will be the 40th anniversary of NASA’s first space station Skylab. ollowing the premature ending of the Apollo moon landings after Apollo 17 in December 1972, NASA was stuck with a problem. Three fully built Saturn V rockets were cluttering up the car park. These were supposed to have been Apollo 18, 19 and 20. Ok, one could be kept as a museum piece at Cape Kennedy, another could be sent to NASA’s mission control in Houston Texas but what to do with the third? hen some bright engineer suggested that with only small modifications the second stage of a Saturn V rocket could be emptied of its fuel tanks and be converted into a ready made habitable space station. The plan was to launch Skylab into Earth orbit unmanned and then a few days later a crew of three would be launched and dock with the orbiting space station. Skylab was launched on March 14th 1973, but from day one it was cursed with a multitude of problems. evere damage occurred during launch, including the loss of the station's micro-meteorite protective shield which was also meant to act as a sunshield to help keep the station cool. Debris from the damaged shield then clogged up the release mechanism that was supposed to extend two solar panel ‘wings’ that supplied electricity to the station. With no electricity the temperature inside Skylab would become so hot that the plastic fittings would melt giving off toxic fumes that would make it uninhabitable. he launch of the first crew was delayed while a solution was figured out. But time was against them; the longer they left it the more damage was likely to occur. Eventually on 25th March 1973 Pete Conrad, Paul Weitz and Joseph Kerwin set off to carry out the first ever ‘in-space repair’. Conrad was a veteran astronaut who had walked on the Moon with Apollo 12 in December 1969 but for Weitz and Kerwin it was to be their first space flight. ravelling in the same command and service module that had been used on Moon flights the astronauts eventually rendezvoused with Skylab and completed a successful docking with it. Now they had to perform a series of spacewalks first to fix a protective sheet to the outside to act as a sunshield. Next the solar panel was unfurled and began to produce electricity. The astronauts could now enter the space station for the first time. Two weeks later Conrad and Kerwin carried out another spacewalk to try to free the other stricken solar panel. Suddenly it sprang from its housing and

almost slung the astronauts away into space and certain death. he first crew remained on board Skylab for 28 days carrying out repairs both inside and outside the space station. On 28th July the second crew Pete Conrad, Jack Lousma and Owen Garriott set off for their stint on board Skylab. Conrad had also been a Moon walker with Conrad on Apollo 12 but for Lousma and Garriott it was to be their first space flight. s the space ship approached Skylab for docking a leak occurred in the control systems. Repairs were carried out but it was feared that a rescue mission would have to take place to rescue the crew so a third rocket was rolled out onto the launch pad just in case. As it happened the crew were able to fix the leak and spend a total of 58 days on Skylab. Much of the time was taken up doing medical experiments to discover what effects living in space would have on the body. n November 16th the third and final crew of Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Edward Gibson would spend Christmas 1973 in orbit in Skylab. It was during this mission that an unnamed crew member suffered from horrendous space-sickness but hid the fact from NASA doctors for fear of the mission being scrapped. They spent 84 days in orbit before returning to Earth on February 8th 1974. ow the question arose, ‘what to do with Skylab?’ It was intended that the Space Shuttle could be used to move it into a higher orbit but delays meant that the Space Shuttle wouldn’t be ready until the early 80’s. With no on board engines or means to move itself, Skylab would be doomed. Gradually its orbit decayed and it came burning through the Earth’s atmosphere on 11th July 1979. It eventually crashed in the Australian desert close to Perth. he Australian government issued a fine of $400 for littering. NASA still hasn’t paid up.

Smart car headlights make rain invisible Car headlights that make rain 'invisible' for drivers are under development and could save lives on the roads, engineers say. Developers hope their brainchild will reduce the number of accidents by improving visibility for motorists in treacherous conditions so they can effectively see through rain. The high-tech lights are programmed to detect water droplets and 'dis-illuminate' them as they fall. Developers hope the

N.B.B.S. play La Duquesa. Sixteen players made the trip to La Duquesa and were blessed with perfect weather for golf. The course was in fair condition and it presented an unknown layout to the majority of the players. Nearest the pin was contested on all par threes and the results are as follows: Hole 3 Chris Gardner, Hole 5 Geoff Heading, Hole 11 John Bamber, Hole 15 not claimed and Hole 17 Ian Brewer. Nearest the pin in two shots on Hole 12 not claimed. Longest drive on Hole 18 Nick Carwood. Best team prize with 107
points Chris Gardner, Sav Ramayon, Ian Brewer and Joe King. Par three competition with 12 points was won by Ian Brewer.
In the day’s main competition, in third place with 31 points was Joe King, in second place with 32 points was The New’s Geoff Heading and in first place with 36 points was Dell Allwood. In last place with 8 points and the winner of the plunger was Barry Doran. I played with Barry and he has been given a new nickname Barry the Bush, because if there was a bush anywhere on the course,
poor Barry was in it or behind it. I laughed with my other playing partners all the way round.
All the members would like to wish the very best to Ian Brewer, as he is returning to England for family reasons and look forward to playing with him again on his visits to Spain. Also our thanks go to Tina at The Olive tree for the nibbles she supplied and putting up with us. As always thanks to Terry Birtles, Joe King and Ian Brewer for organising the event. By Nig Bowler.
e Andalucian Championships returns to Malaga The Andalucian Championships was recently re-instated under the auspices of the Andalucian Bowls Federation, (FAB), at Miraflores Bowls Club and what a spectacular of skills, perfect weather conditions and use of the premium Malaga-based bowling club.
Participants came principally from the local area, but the contingent from Indalo club, Mojacar left its mark on the tournament both socially and in terms of the players’ competitive skills. In the 4’s competition the final was between Amber Dineen, Kate Morris, Lennie Dineen and Keith Morris being beaten by 20 shots to 11 against the
winning team of Jenny Aldridge, Peter Fry, Garry Aldridge and Mike Detheridge.
In the Men’s Pairs, Mike Glithero with Gordon Kain and Garry Aldridge with Mike Detheridge had comfortable wins in the rounds up to the final. In the semi final Garry and Mike scored a “Hot Shots” scoring all the shots on one end but the final proved to be very challenging and extremely competitive. Mike and Gordon won through with a 16 to 14 shots victory. Winners of the Ladies’ Pairs were Susan Walker and Margaret Kain who won their matches by quite wide margins proving why Margaret is the number 1 in Malaga Province rankings.
In the Ladies’ singles Jan Dando, a Spanish National team player, won through beating her fellow club member Margaret Maltby in the first round, knocking Margaret Kain out in the semi-final and then beating Kate Morris in the final by 21 shots to 8. What an excellent player she is. The winner of the Men’s singles was Terry Morgan, who is playing at the top of his game, having just won the Winter Championships singles a few days before. He had close games and fought well to get to the final and met his fellow club player Tom Rogers in the final. Terry was victorious by 21 shots to 18. Report by Susan Walker
Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips
I was asked this week by a novice player, who has a very limited bank roll of €30 wanting to play for real money on one of the leading on line sites, whether he should play cash or tournaments. The answer is simple – play both. With a small bank roll he must play the micro limit cash/ring games of 1c/2c, also play the double your money sit and go tournaments, say at the €1 buy in. He needs to play both because different players have different strengths which can make you a better cash or tournament player.
Phil Hellmuth who has won many WSOP bracelets, all at Holdem, is probably one of the best tournament players ever.
As a cash player he has not really been up there with the likes of Doyle Brunson whom, may I add, is also a great tournament player with many WSOP bracelets to his name at various formats.
With cash you need to be aggressive from the start. If you have the odds to make a call or feel you’re ahead you call, if you’re beat rebuy and carry on with the game. However in a tournament (unless a rebuy format) you can't, one mistake and you’re out!
I would have to think hard about laying down AK to a 4 bet in a cash game but in tournament play in the early and mid
levels this would not be a hard fold, for the simple reason it is better to wait for a better spot and hope one of the two aggressive players busts out laddering you up the leader board to a prize.
So my advice is play the small sit. Go tournaments to test your tight aggressive game and try the micro cash games for your loose aggressive style. However, always remember it's selective aggressive play and good hand selection that wins long term.

Montgomerie inducted into Hall of Fame
Colin Montgomerie's induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame is richly deserved even though he never won the major title he craved throughout an otherwise glittering career. At Monday's ceremony in St Augustine, Florida, Monty was inducted into a Hall of Fame – not greatness – despite some observers claiming the absence of one of the big four titles and his failure to win a Tour event in the United States should have barred him from Hall of Fame status.
Gutless Málaga fail again O’Sullivan out of the wilderness away from home Granada 1 Málaga 0
Over one thousand Málaga supporters made the short journey to Granada in the hope of a win to boost their European chances – that is providing they can overturn the ban imposed. Granada, just a point clear of the relegation pack, started well. Brahimi and Ighalo came close to scoring on 12 minutes but Willy managed to scramble the ball away. Málaga´s keeper then made a great save from Nolito to keep Málaga in the
game. Málaga´s Isco and Antunes had weak efforts on goal as Málaga looked pedestrian all over the pitch. On 28 minutes Granada took the lead. Brahimi broke down the right wing and Ighalo got in front of Demichellis to finish well at the near post. A deserved lead and Granada nearly made it two as El-Arabi shot just wide. In the second half Málaga were better but never created many chances. Granada substitute Aranda had a great chance to make the game safe but
Willy again saved with his legs. An Antunes’ cross for Málaga late in the game hit the crossbar and that was about as good as it got for the visitors. A poor performance and now they face Real Madrid on Wednesday night at 9.30pm at the Bernabau, and then at home on Sunday night at 9pm against Sevilla in another Andalucian derby. Málaga must improve or the season will just fade away and end in disappointment. Report by Scott Forbes
Ronnie O'Sullivan brushed aside Barry Hawkins 18-12 to win his fifth world snooker championship and become only the third man to claim back-to-back titles at the Crucible Theatre. The 37-year-old returning to the sport after a yearlong absence, showed no signs of rustiness over the two weeks of competition, culminating in a comfortable win over world No 14 Hawkins.
Taking nothing away from O’Sullivan two-time champion Mark Williams, who lost in the first round, said the standard was as low as he had seen for 10
VICTORIA
years. And the Welshman wasn't alone, many people are of the opinion that this was an underwhelming tournament, while many contributors to snooker blogs and message boards
will tell you this might have been the poorest World Championship ever. Finalist Hawkins believes O'Sullivan could go on to beat Stephen Hendry's record of seven world titles.
