Spain stands firm as UK considers EU legal action
Despite Downing Street's announcement that the UK was drawing up plans to take “unprecedented” legal action against its European ally, the Spanish government said on Monday that it planned to keep the border controls in place. A Spanish foreign ministry spokesman said: “We insist that they are legal, proportionate and we are obliged to carry them out under the Schengen agreement.”
A spokesman for David Cameron said the prime minister was "very disappointed" by Spain's failure to remove the checks over the weekend. He added that legal action through the EU would be an "unprecedented step so we want to consider it
carefully before making a decision to pursue”. He added: "If we go down this route, we would press upon the EU the need to pursue this with a matter of urgency." It is not clear what the legal options were, the spokesman said, saying it would be up to the EU to explain any possible sanctions.
The Spanish government, which has said its checks are essential to stop smuggling, said it had an
"obligation" to police the border, and insisted its controls were legal and proportionate. A government spokesman also said Spain was considering taking the dispute to the UN Security Council, where it could seek the support of Argentina.
He said that although the Falkland Islands – over which Britain went to war with Argentina – and Gibraltar were different issues, there were similarities between the two disputes. The issues to be raised at the UN could include disputed waters, Britain's failure to comply with previous UN resolutions and the disputed stretch of land which links Gibraltar and Spain, he said.

If you are a regular reader of The News you will all have heard of “Dangerous Ellis” by now – so called because he gets into the most awful scrapes when he does things. Most of the time he’s fine but, when he does it, he does it in style! Now we have Jackson, our new puppy that I mentioned last week. He was all of 5 weeks old when we rushed him up the vets. I was determined that he would live, as was our vet, but it was very touch and go for a while. The poor thing was covered in ticks (and I mean covered) that had pretty much drained him of blood. Thus the name. Jackson Brown recorded a song called running on empty and that’s what this little pup was doing. He is now 8 weeks and, until Saturday, doing very well having at least doubled in size. However, he had been told and told not to chase my cats but like all pups, kittens and kids, did he listen? Did he thump! So he was chasing Mulberry on Saturday morning and got his leg stuck while he was still going forward. Straight up the vets again and he’s

broken one of the two long bones in his “arm”. No plaster or bandages as it should fix itself but what a day we had of it! Good news was that we heard from friends that we hadn’t seen for around 14 years that were staying down in San Pedro. It was as if we’d seen each other just a couple of months ago but I guess that’s what real friendship is all about. The only difference was that their son of 14, William who was just months old when I saw him is now a 6 feet 2 inch rugby and cricket playing almost-grown-up. How time flies!
The row was sparked after Gibraltar created an artificial reef which, the Spanish say, will destroy fishing in the area, but Conservative MEP Ashley Fox, who represents south-west England and Gibraltar, said Spain's actions were motivated by political and economic weaknesses in the country, not a "fishing dispute" with Gibraltar. He said "harassing" Gibraltar was intended to take public focus in Spain off domestic issues. Last week the European Commission said it would send a team of monitors to the border to examine the situation, but they are not expected to arrive until next month or October.

Meanwhile, a Royal Navy taskforce has started to leave UK ports for the annual deployment of the Response Force Task Group. The group includes HMS Bulwark, HMS Illustrious, HMS Montrose and HMS Westminster. Helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious departed from Portsmouth on Monday morning and will join the navy flagship HMS Bulwark, which has sailed from Devonport. HMS Westminster will be stopping over in Gibraltar, accompanied by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ships Lyme Bay and Mounts Bay. Although it comes amid the diplomatic dispute between the UK and

Rail safety reviewed Anti-fraud plan dubbed “Stalinist” after deadly crash Two of the country's largest labour unions, the CCOO and the UGT, have condemned the proposed creation of an online whistle-blowing facility that will allow employees to report their bosses for abusing laws.
Labour Minister Fátima Báñez (right) announced earlier this week that members of the public would be able to go to the ministry's website to report instances of fraud anonymously. The unions called the plan "a dangerous idea" and worthy of a totalitarian state.
José Ignacio Sacristán, the director general of Work and Social Security Inspection, defended the plans, on the grounds that other public organisms and public institutions "receive information from citizens every day and sometimes they
Spain will review its railway network to improve security after a train derailed on July 24th, killing 79 people, Public Works Minister Ana Pastor said on Friday.
investigate them and sometimes they discard them". He said the system could be used to report clandestine workshops, illegal employment, poor working conditions, inequality and discrimination, as well as other violations such as sexual harassment. He argued it was "paradoxical" that the same groups that have criticised the precarious nature of labour conditions, because workers fear reporting employers, now oppose a plan that offer workers the possibility to make accusations safely. He said the programme resembles one run in the UK, where citizens can report benefit cheats through the Department of Work and Pensions website or via a hotline. A similar system is operated in the US
through the United Council on Welfare Fraud. He said the British scheme is generally supported by the country's press, which regularly runs stories on "welfare cheats". Last year benefit fraud convictions in the UK rose by over 40 percent, thanks partly to the fact that officials had new evidence-gathering powers.
July the worst month for fires
She told a parliamentary panel: "We are carrying out a general review of all protocols and all security systems, as well as speed limits. When I say all, I mean the entire railway network." "We are analysing the network. And we will take decisions that improve security based on this analysis," she added.
According to its "black boxes", the train was hurtling around a bend at
Driver Francisco Garzon after the crash
179 kph (111mph), more than twice the speed limit, when it leapt off the tracks near Santiago de Compostela.
The driver, 52-year-old Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, was on the telephone to the on-board conductor and stopped speaking just 11 seconds before the train flew off the tracks. Garzon has been provisionally charged with 79 counts of
reckless homicide but was released under court supervision while an investigation into the crash continues.
Railway officials said the track where the train crashed was not equipped with the automatic braking systems in place on some high-speed lines and that it was therefore left up to the driver to apply the brake.
Coastline destruction report
Between 1987 and 2005, construction ate up 23 per cent of the country's coastline, at the rate of two hectares (equivalent to two football fields) a day across the first 500 metres along the beaches, according to Greenpeace's 2013 report. The ecologists who carried out the study said the destruction would be even worse if the last eight years were taken into account. The report is based on satellite images
processed by the National Geographic Institute (IGN) which analyses the increased construction comparing images from 1987, 2000 and 2005. Andalucia is the worst offender, followed by Valencia, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. At the other end of the scale is Asturias, with only nine per cent of its coastline affected.
Greenpeace said the construction bubble has saved hundreds of hectares from being cemented over but said the main danger now is the number of coastline hectares that have been classified as apt for construction. It said that if construction continues at the same rate as that between 1987 and 2005, in 124 years time the entire coastline will have been built on.
Spain complains about spying activities
Of the 4,414 blazes that have broken out so far this year, half of them took place in the month of July.
Adding to these statistics, authorities said that 96 percent of the wildfires throughout Spain were man-made and of that percentage, 55 per cent were started on purpose. Wildfires are also up this year, according to the Agriculture, Food and
Environmental Ministry.
During the 10-yearperiod from 2002 to 2010, an estimated 7,950 blazes broke out across Spain; more than half that number have been reported so far during the first six months of this year.
According to World Wildlife Fund (WWF), heavy rains that fell on Spain earlier this year
may have worked in favour of – and not against – the rash of fires.
"There is much more vegetation to burn," said Diana Colomina, WWF coordinator in Spain. "If we put this together with the forecasts from the State Meteorological Agency, which predicts a dry and hot summer, then the conditions are ripe for a lot of fires to break out.
The Foreign Ministry on Monday demanded “clarification and information” from the US Embassy concerning a report published in the German weekly Der Spiegel that Spain was a target of secret surveillance by the Nation Security Agency. According to a NSA document dated from April and seen by the German weekly, Washington put Spain, Germany, France, Japan and Italy in a middleranking category of countries where US intelligence agencies should concentrate
their efforts.
The document was reportedly one of those leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Der Spiegel said that the heavily secured US military compound in Griesheim, near Frankfurt, is where the NSA conducts its surveillance.
“Germany ranks somewhere in the middle on this priority list, together with France and Japan, but above Italy and Spain,” Der Spiegel reported on its English-language
website. US intelligence is interested in German foreign policy as well as threats to the financial system, the magazine said but did not mention what US intelligence seeks in Spain. US chargé d’affaires Luis Moreno met with the ministry’s deputy director for North American policy, Luis Calvo. The US official told Calvo he understood the “given reasons and concerns expressed” by Spain and promised to try to find obtain more information to show the Spanish government.

Town to name street after Major Former Prime Minister John Major is to have a street named after him in Candeleda, Avila province, where he has holidayed for nearly 25 years. Major, his wife Norma and friends take a summer break every year at former Foreign Office minister Tristan Garel-Jones's holiday home near the town, two hours drive west of Madrid. Now the local council (PP) has decided to put the town on the international map by naming one of its main streets after him – Avenida John Major. Mr Major is expected to be
invited to the official unveiling ceremony at the end of this month. The Partido Popular's spokesman, Councillor Rodrigo Munoz, said it was an excellent way of promoting the town and that it was " also our way of saying thank you to Mr Major for choosing to holiday in our town when he was prime minister and repeating year after year." Sr Munoz said he'd enjoyed a beer with Mr Major in the two square on several occasions and he "seems a very nice downto-earth man". Mr Major first visited the area in 1989 when Mr

“Women should stay at home”
the 2012 Report on Young People in Spain published by the Health Ministry's Youth institute (inJUVe) shows that 25 per cent of young people aged up to 30 believe it is the woman who should stay at home to bring up the children. However, nearly 80 per cent said both partners should share the domestic chores if they both worked outside the home.
Garel-Jones invited him to stay at the country home near Candeleda which his Spanish wife inherited from her father. The avenue to be named after John Major is one of the three access roads to the town and the road Mr Major uses when
he comes into town, Sr Munoz said. He added that Mr Major has already been informed of the town's plans to name through friends. Sir John’s spokeswoman said he hadn’t been officially informed, but was delighted at the news.

World News Crackdown on protest camps delayed
The Egyptian authorities have postponed their plans to disperse two sit-ins in Cairo by supporters of the country's ousted president.
A security official told reporters the authorities had hoped the announcement to disperse them would encourage protesters to leave. But this has not happened and the number of people at the sites is increasing.
A judge has extended ousted President Mohammed Morsi's detention by 15 days. Mr Morsi, who was
overthrown by the military on July 3rd and has been held largely incommunicado since, was placed in detention on July 26th over his links with the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas, which rules neighbouring Gaza. In Cairo, there had been no sign of the expected police activity at the camps outside the
Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in the east and at Nahda Square to the west. The Muslim Brotherhood, to which ousted Mr Morsi belongs, has warned of bloodshed if they are forcibly dispersed.
More than 250 people, most of them supporters of Mr Morsi – Egypt's first democratically elected leader – have already been killed in clashes since the
Almost all US diplomatic missions recently closed in the region due to threats were reopened on Sunday, but the US embassy in the capital, Sanaa, was to stay closed "because of ongoing concerns". The consulate

Yemen is a stronghold of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) – an al-Qaeda offshoot considered by Washington to be the most dangerous to the West.
At least 14 suspected al-Qaeda militants were killed in Yemen in three drone strikes last week, after Yemen officials said a major al-Qaeda plot against oil pipelines and ports had been foiled.

Humanitarian aid supplies worth £480,000 – funded by UK taxpayers – were seized by al-Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia, the Department for International Development's (DfID) accounts have revealed. The supplies were in warehouses captured in a raid by al-Shabab in november 2011. DfID would not specify what those supplies included but said all material was destroyed in the raid or later. A DfID spokesman said working in "fragile states carries inherent risk". He said DfID did all it could "to mitigate against this but, on occasion, losses will occur".

Pope Francis has urged Christians and Muslims to work together to promote mutual respect, particularly by educating new generations of believers. He greeted Muslims around the world during his Sunday blessing of pilgrims gathered in St Peter's Square in Rome. He said that "our brothers'' the Muslims had just concluded their holy month of Ramadan, dedicated to fasting, prayer and alms-giving.
Pope Francis, who has made caring for the poor the landmark theme of his pontificate, addressed tens of thousands of pilgrims gathered in scorching summer heat. Unlike his predecessors who spent their summers in the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo outside the Italian capital, where the weather is slightly cooler, the Pope has chosen to continue working at the Vatican during the summer holidays.

Volcano eruption kills six
Six people were killed when Mount Rokatenda, on the tiny island of Palue some 1,250 miles east of Jakarta, spewed ash and rocks 1.5 miles into the air for four hours on Saturday. Disaster officials said hot ash covered a nearby beach, leaving four adults and two children dead.
The volcano had been rumbling since late last year, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people. A two-mile exclusion zone was set up last October but an official said many villagers had become accustomed to the volcanic activity and ignored the mandatory evacuation order. Palue has a population of some 10,000 people. Much of the Indonesian archipelago lies on the Pacific "ring of fire", an area prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. At least 350 people died and 250,000 were displaced when Mount Merapi in central Java erupted in 2010.

Mugabe attacks rival
Robert Mugabe launched a stinging attack on his main rival, PM Morgan Tsvangirai on Monday, in his first public speech since he won Zimbabwe's disputed presidential election. Rejecting opposition claims the vote was stolen, he told a Heroes' Day event: "Those who lost elections may commit suicide if they so wish. Even if they die, dogs will not eat their flesh." Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) boycotted the speech. The party has lodged a legal challenge against the result of the "stolen election", demanding it be rerun.

In an earlier statement on Monday, Mr Tsvangirai said the majority of Zimbabweans were "still shocked at the brazen manner in which their vote was stolen".

However, a local observer group, the Zimbabwe Election Support Network (Zesn) and its network of 7,000 observers, said that about

The murder strained USMexico ties and changed the war on drugs trafficking. Caro Quintero is still listed as one of the DEA's five top international fugitives, and the US authorities believe he has been controlling drugs money from behind bars.
In a statement, the agency said: "DEA will vigorously continue its efforts to ensure Caro Quintero faces charges in the United States for the crimes he committed."
One of three founding members of the Guadalajara Cartel, Caro Quintero had been arrested in Costa Rica amid a massive manhunt for cartel leaders. The group was thought to be responsible for transporting the majority of the cocaine consumed in the US in the 1980s. Caro Quintero could have faced other charges or possible extradition to the US, but walked free early on Friday before media were notified.
Dutch Prince Johan Friso has died after a year and a half in a coma following an accident at an Austrian ski resort. Prince Friso, who was 44, was moved from hospital in London back to the Netherlands last month, but had since suffered complications. He was hit by an avalanche in February 2012 and buried for 15 minutes. An emergency beeper he was wearing enabled rescuers to find him but medical officials in Innsbruck said it took some time to revive him and he suffered "massive" brain damage. They said he had suffered a heart attack lasting some 50
minutes. He was later flown to London for treatment at the private Wellington Hospital, which has a specialist neurological unit. He was eventually discharged in July 2013 but remained in a "state of minimal consciousness".
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima are said to be on their way home from a holiday in Greece. A Royal Palace statement said he died on Monday morning in The Hague. The prince's wife, Princess Mabel, is said to have spent her 45th birthday on Sunday at his bedside.
Gay athletes 'won't face discrimination' Russian officials have reportedly said gay athletes competing in next year's winter Olympics will not face discrimination despite a controversial new law on gay propaganda. Such concerns were "completely unfounded", the interior ministry said, quoted by Interfax news agency. International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief Jacques Rogge recently asked Russia to clarify how the law might affect the Sochi games. The law prescribes fines for providing information on homosexuality to minors. Critics say its loose interpretation effectively hinders any kind of public gay rights event in Russia.

Calls for the games to
be moved to another country have come from gay rights campaigners around the world. The IOC said it had received "assurances from the highest level of government in Russia that the legislation" would "not affect those attending or taking part in the games". However, Mr Rogge – head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) – said on Friday that there were still "uncertainties" despite written assurances received from Sochi organiser Dmitry Kozak.
Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993 and government officials have sought to play down the possible impact of the bill – passed in June – on the Sochi games.

Cameron rules out Olympic boycott
British Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled out a boycott of the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 – suggested by broadcaster Stephen Fry following the introduction of anti-gay laws in Russia. Mr Cameron said: “I believe we can better challenge prejudice as we attend, rather than boycotting the Winter Olympics.” And Sir Sebastian Coe
said that he was against any form of boycotting in sports. Politicians in Russia have passed a law imposing heavy fines for providing information about homosexuality to people under 18. Fry was among hundreds of people who were protesting in London on Saturday afternoon against Russia’s anti-gay stance.
Rioting in Belfast ‘a Technology and the step backwards’ police force Northern Ireland’s Chief Constable Matt Baggott (right) has condemned the “mindless anarchy” which resulted in 56 police officers being injured during a night of loyalist riots in Belfast City Centre. Mr Baggott told politicians and community leaders they should act like statesmen and condemn those responsible. More than a thousand loyalist protestors had
gathered to protest at the republican rally to mark the introduction of interment without trial during the troubles. Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers echoed the sentiments of many when she said the
rioting was “a hugely regrettable step backwards.”
Just how much efficiency has improved as a result of new technology is difficult to measure, but a recent story in Britain suggests that the police, a least, have a problem.

The average British worker’s wages will be £1,520 lower in real terms in 2015 than they were in 2010, according to Britain’s opposition Labour Party. The party reached the conclusion following analysis of official figures, which indicate wages in the UK have suffered one of the sharpest falls in the European Union, approximately 5.5 per cent. Spain and Cyprus have shown a drop of 3 per cent in the hourly rate, while Germany has seen a 2.7 per cent rise since 2010.

Two arrested in Peru CCTV new rules for UK A video was released on Monday of a British and an Irish woman speaking to police after they were arrested on suspicion of cocaine smuggling in Peru. The two women were answering questions shortly after they were held at an airport near the capital, Lima, last week. Melissa Reid, 19, and Michaella McCollum Connolly, 20, protested their innocence after police found 11kg (24.2lbs) of cocaine worth £1.5m in food bags in their luggage. Police accused the two of acting as "drug mules" to carry the contraband back to Europe. Reid, from Kirkintilloch in East Dunbartonshire,
told officers: "I was forced to take these bags in my luggage." Archbishop of Lima Sean Walsh, who visited them, said "They believe they were set up and they will use that as a defence." The pair both confirmed they had travelled to the South American country from Spain, and then on a Peruvian domestic flight to Cuzco. They reportedly stayed four days in Cuzco, 350-miles south east of Lima, before returning to the capital. They were detained the following day at Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport after a sniffer dog detected drugs at the Air Europa check-in counter.
Reid was allegedly carrying 18 foil packets containing 5.78kg of cocaine while McCollum Connolly was accused of carrying 5.81kg of the drug in 16 bags in her luggage. The pair, who said they were tourists, were planning to travel to Madrid and then to Majorca. They had apparently spent several weeks before the Peru trip living in Ibiza, where Belfast-born McCollum Connolly, had reportedly been looking for work as a nightclub dancer and hostess. The two are to go before a judge tomorrow and then they will be transferred to a prison.
Charged Erika found safe and well Erika Kacicova, the 13year-old teenager who had been missing from her home in the Darnall area of Sheffield since around 4pm on Monday August 4th has been found safe and well in Bradford city centre. It had been reported that this is was not the first time that Erika had gone missing but she “had never stayed away for so long before” and the incident had been described by police as “out of character” for the teen.
Police and her family had appealed for her to contact them and believed that she might have been staying with people she knew in the Bradford, area where there had been several reported sightings. House-to-house enquiries had been taking place in both areas.
Officers said the teenager was discovered alone and that a total of five people – four men and one woman – were being held in connection with her disappearance.
Erika is now in the care of police in Bradford and her family have been informed of developments.
Detective Inspector Helen Tate, of South Yorkshire Police, said she did not know if Erika had been held against her will.
"It's fantastic news that we now have Erika, safe
and well and a successful conclusion to the search for Erika," she said. "Our primary aim now is to concentrate on Erika's well-being and begin to piece together her movements since she left home last Monday. We are working with local authority and partner agencies for the appropriate support for Erika and to assist with the investigation. I have personally been overwhelmed by the way the public and the media have responded to our appeals and I am extremely grateful for their help and support throughout this investigation."
She told a news conference that they would now continue working in an effort to establish what had happened to the teenager during the week she had been missing. A statement issued by police Erika was found after they had spoken to various people who they believe had been in contact with her over the last couple of days.
Royal Barnes, 22-years-old and from Hackney, has been charged with terror offences after allegedly making video recordings about Drummer Lee Rigby’s murder and publishing the statement: “Muslim laughs at British soldier killing”.

Teenager killed in knife attack A 16-year-old boy, named as Ajmol Alom, has died and another is in hospital with facial injuries after a knife attack in east London. The two teenagers were attacked in Spey Street, Poplar, east London at around 9.50pm on Monday. Ajmol was pronounced dead at hospital while the other 16-year-old is still being treated for his injuries, which are not lifethreatening. A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday morning and is being questioned. Ajmol's headteacher at Langdon Park School, Chris Dunne, described him as a "splendid young man". Amjol was, he said, "Hardworking, industrious, but also a very caring and thoughtful young man. Ajmol was planning to take A-levels before going on to a "very good university" where he had spoken of studying medicine. He said the teenager had
recently taken part in a conflict resolution project with other young people from Northern Ireland, in which he was "hugely active". Former mayor of Tower Hamlets Doros Ullah said he visited the murder scene after hearing what had happened. Mr Ullah said he had been told the teenager was the victim of mistaken identity. "He was outside with some man who, we understand, had been in some trouble in the past, and three boys that came around were looking for him, so he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and became the victim," he said. Detective Chief Inspector Colette Smyth said: "We believe there were a number of people in the area at the time and we would appeal for any witnesses or anyone with information to please come forward.
If you are robbed or attacked in the street, or when children go missing surely the first thing you’d want to know was if the perpetrator had been caught on camera somewhere and, in the case of abductions, at least you can trace the movements to a certain extent. However, objections about cameras “spying” on people have been many and new rules have put in place about when and by whom such filming can be used. The new code states that it “will be to ensure that individuals and wider communities have confidence that surveillance cameras are deployed to protect and support them, rather than spy on them. The Government considers that wherever overt
surveillance in public places is in pursuit of a legitimate aim and meets a pressing need, any such surveillance should be characterised as surveillance by consent."
Civil Liberties group Big Brother Watch claim they have received an increasing amount of complaints from people who are objecting to neighbours putting up CCTV cameras, some of which cover their neighbours properties and from people objecting to the technology available over the internet. They say that more control is needed.

Layoff fund is now the biggest corruption case The massive investigation into alleged fraud committed by officials in the Junta de Andalucia's labour department became the largest public corruption case in Spain on record last week when the number of people being provisionally charged or named as official targets in the investigation rose to 116. The so-called "ERE case" is now bigger than the Malaya property and kickbacks case that rocked Marbella with the arrest of around 100 politicians, local businessmen and other personalities when it broke in 2006. Since 2011, Seville Judge Mercedes Ayala has been looking into allegations that scores of people received illicit payouts from a fund that was set up by the Socialist Junta in 2001 to help firms make severance payments to laid-off
workers. The regional government allotted some €721 million to the fund between 2001 and 2010.
Last December, the Guardia told the judge
Micaela Alcántara, aged 50 and from Antequera, is convinced her brother, who was born on October 12th, 1964, in Malaga's Hospital civil, is still alive. She told a local newspaper that four days after her brother was born, the nurses took him away to be bathed and dressed. A few hours later, her mother was told her baby had died of "congenital weakness". Alcántara said they wouldn't show her mother the baby and said

To solve the problem of parking in the town, the council is negotiating agreements with the owners of vacant plots by which local people will be able to use them for parking in exchange for the council's commitment to clean up and maintain the plots. The only drawback is that the concession is temporary – the owners can claim back the plots if construction on them becomes viable again.
Members of the regional government, businessmen, union officials and facilitators are being investigated. It is believed that the number of defendants in the case will rise as the Guardia Civil continues its investigation. But before leaving on vacation, Judge Alaya signed an order naming 23 more suspects in the case, including two sons of the controversial businessman José María Ruiz-Mateos – Pablo and Javier – after authorities discovered alleged violations made at the fund in connection with the Cervantes Hotel, which they owned.

The local council has removed more than 50 illegal billboards so far this year and is drafting a new municipal ordinance that will regulate advertising on public and private land.

He said most of billboards lined the a-7 and the council would continue working to lessen their visual impact on tourists who are more interested in the scenery than the products advertised.

Gibraltar: What is the fuss all about?
Gibraltar was under Moorish rule from AD711 to 1462, when Spain took back the Rock until 1704 when it was captured by allied Anglo-Dutch forces during the War of the Spanish Succession
Gibraltar's sovereign status between 1713 and 1880 was that of a territory taken by right of conquest, but legitimised in the form of a cession to the English Crown (Article X, Treaty of Utrecht, 1713, Appendix I).
The Gibraltar territory was designated a Crown Colony in 1830 and was listed as such by the UN in 1946. In 1964, the Gibraltar Constitution was introduced and promulgated in 1969, stipulating that sovereign status would not be changed without the consent of Gibraltar's people.
According to Spain, Gibraltar was taken in the context of a Spanish dynastic dispute and contests UK sovereignty over the entire peninsula. It also insists the cession in the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 did not include the isthmus with the airport on it and territorial waters. Spain cites the UN principle of territorial integrity, through UN Resolution 1514 (XV) – which says "any attempt at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and the territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations". It also argues two resolutions passed in the 1960s under the UN Principles of Decolonisation – (2231 (XXI), Question of Gibraltar and 2353 (XXII), Question of Gibraltar), mean territorial integrity takes precedence over Gibraltar's right to selfdetermination.
The UK notes that Gibraltar was ceded by Spain in the Treaty of Utrecht 1713, giving "the full and entire propriety of the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts there unto belonging ... forever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever".
It cites longevity of occupation, and argues the
UN principle of territorial integrity, as per UN Resolution 1514 (XV) does not override the principle of self-determination. The same resolution says: "All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status."
"Gibraltar is much bigger than it was in 1713 – some of the runway and housing on the west side is built on reclaimed land, and the Treaty says nothing about reclaimed land, or territorial waters," says Dr Chris Grocott, lecturer in economic history at Leicester University.
Self-determination
Spain also argues two resolutions passed in the 1960s under the UN Principles of Decolonisation do not recognise Gibraltar's right to self-determination. It says Resolution 2231 focuses on the "interests" and not the "wishes" of the people of Gibraltar. Dr Gerry O'Reilly, a senior lecturer in geography and international affairs at Dublin City University, says up to the 1990s, Spain viewed the population of Gibraltar as "a community artificially created from heterogeneous origins since 1713 by colonial processes" rather than indigenous, and therefore thought it did not fulfil criteria for any form of nationhood that could be interpreted as giving a right to UN "national'" self-determination principles. However, since 2002 Spain has offered the people of Gibraltar the constitutional status of an autonomous region/community within the Spanish state, he says.
There was a referendum in Gibraltar in 1967, which called on both Spain and the UK to take into account the "interests" of the people of Gibraltar. In it 12,138 of the 12,237 voters chose "voluntarily to retain their links with the UK". The referendum was
condemned by the UN General Assembly, and not recognised by any international body or state. The UK promulgated the Gibraltar Constitution Order in 1969, in which it was stated that: "Her Majesty's government will never enter into negotiations under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the sovereignty of another state against their democratically expressed wishes."
In the 2002 sovereignty referendum, voters overwhelmingly rejected a plan to share sovereignty over Gibraltar between the UK and Spain. Gibraltar believes the right of self determination was given to it by the UK in 1960, and that the UN Charter enshrines the right to selfdetermination of all colonial peoples.
The case of Ceuta and Melilla
Spain says the situation with Ceuta and Melilla is completely different from that of Gibraltar. Both territories are part of Spain itself, not a colony like Gibraltar. Both have been in Spanish hands since the 16th century, centuries before the modern state of Morocco was born. Spain claims them on historical grounds, for national security reasons and UN territorial integrity of the state principles. It stresses the majority of residents are Spanish. Spain retains five territories in north Africa – Ceuta, Melilla, Penon de Velez de la Gomera, Alhucemas and the Chafarinas Islands. Ceuta and Melilla are the most famous. Both are claimed by Morocco, which has compared the situation to Spain's claim to Gibraltar. Both territories are on the Moroccan coast. The population of both Ceuta and Melilla wish to remain Spanish.
Morocco argues that the UN principles of decolonisation must be applied.
Other underlying reasons for the crisis
Some have suggested Spain is looking to divert attention from its own economic woes, or to use the possible new restrictions to give itself a bargaining chip. Spain has denied this.
It has accused Gibraltar of being a corporate tax haven, allowing companies and wealthy individuals to avoid paying millions. Spain also believes the border is being abused and draining Spanish resources. Smuggling – cigarette smuggling in particular – is one bugbear, as is the alleged circumventing of Spanish residency taxes. Fishing rights are another point of contention, with both sides complaining about incursions.
Although Gibraltar is small, it is strategically important, standing at the mouth of the Mediterranean. Its location on the Strait gives it access to one of the three most vital arteries in the world in terms of commercial shipping, oil transportation and military-related transport. The UK's military base has historically been of huge significance –
controlling virtually all naval traffic in and out of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic in WWII. The naval dockyard once dominated the economy, but Gibraltar is now less militarily significant. Tourism is one of the four sectors that dominate the economy today – with most visitors coming from the UK. Then there's the tax system which has attracted financial and services firms.

Memories of Gib
Hypocrisy & an annoying neighbour
lived in Cadiz from November 1966 to July 1968, teaching English at the Academia Britanica. In those days, Cadiz was an old but lovely city riding out to sea at the end of an isthmus which few foreigners visited, because the region itself was not on the regular tourist route. Just down the coast, Tarifa was a sleepy little fishing village that didn't know what a surfboard looked like.
ere we go again with another punchy round over the Treaty of Utrecht, but this time the international quarrel has passed the mark. The prime ministers of Spain and Britain have been barking at each other through the international press over the long unsettled Gibraltar issue with both leaders taking it to new heights – one waiting for the other to blink an eye – in their demands to bring this latest feud before the European Commission, or even the United Nations for that matter. And to add a little Latin spice to this tiff among otherwise friendly European conservative party allies, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is reportedly thinking about bringing out the guns by drafting Argentina’s explosive and impulsive president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, into action. Oh boy! Someone bring out the popcorn and pints; this is going to be a good one.
I
T
he US naval base Rota was just down the road but the Americans tended to keep to themselves so the director of the academy, his three English teachers and one French teacher were the only foreigners seen daily on the streets of Cadiz. We teachers were all of an age – early to mid 20s – and enjoyed rioting around town with our students. Although the local people were very conservative –- Franco was still around – we were excused a lot because we were foreign, and foreigners are different, aren't they?
B
eing very anti-Franco, I refused to renew my estancia (permission to stay) with the Guardia Civil and hit on the brilliant idea of popping down to Gibraltar every now and then. It involved crossing a border back into Spain, which automatically gave me three months estancia. In fact, the first time I made the trip my estancia was several months overdue but in those days the Spanish authorities didn’t consider it important enough to make a fuss. You didn't into trouble then unless you joined the Communist Party, robbed a bank or killed someone!
D
rugs were not a problem because the sentence of carrying even the smallest amount of hashish was six years in jail. The Guardia Civil used to stand on the quay at Algeciras waiting for the ferry from Algeciras to nab any stupid foreigner who thought they could smuggle the drug through Spain. The honorary British Consul in Cadiz spent most of his time trying to get a bunch of British kids sent back to the UK to serve out their sentence.
B
ut back to Gib. I was totally unimpressed by the place on my first visit. It looked just like any poor town anywhere in Andalucia, except that everything was in English and I could buy the UK papers, something I couldn't do in Cadiz.
I
think I only made three visits in all the while I was in Cadiz and only one stands out in my mind. On arrival, a British bobby with an Arab face asked me how much money I had with me. I haughtily waved my passport at him. "What's this? I asked. "A British passport", he replied. "And what's that?" I demand to know, pointing at the ground. He didn't know what the answer to that one was, so I informed him it was British territory and he had no right to ask me how much money I had – you only did that to foreigners. He ended up calling a taxi for me and advising me on the best place to stay.
T
he next day, I headed out of passport control strait into what I can only call a phalanx of Guardia Civil – six burly men dressed in their huge overcoats, linking arms and barring my path. They looked like an olive green wall with six heads stuck on top at intervals. I waved several Sunday newspapers at them – for me, I said – and a six-pack of Guinness – for a friend in Cadiz, I said. I smiled sweetly and they let me through. (I was only 24, still young enough to turn a Spanish head or two.) The wall broke in two and six (rather good-looking) Guardia wished me buenos dias.
T
he other thing I remember about Gib is that on one trip back I discovered I was speaking Gaditano, the Spanish spoken by the people of Cadiz, known as Gaditanos. I had to change buses in Algeciras and wandered round the station until I saw a man loading luggage onto the roof of a bus. "Pa cai, señor", I called out. "Thi theñorita," he replied, mixing up his ths and esses like a good Andaluz. It was only as I walked away that I realised I was cutting words in half, like a good Gaditana.

hat was the last time I went to Gibraltar until I returned from Venezuela in 2002. I was most impressed with the difference between then and now. The place looked clean and civilised.

B
ritain has promised to use “unprecedented” legal action against Spain because of the long queues Civil Guard officers are causing at the border of the British colony as they conduct thorough onsite inspections of all the vehicles leaving and entering the Rock. The Spanish Foreign Ministry claims that these vehicle searches are necessary to crackdown on money-laundering and tobacco-smuggling activities – two illegal enterprises that have gone on for decades. Yet the Popular Party (PP) administration has decided at this stage to severely strike back at these transgressions. And the Spanish government is toying with the idea of charging €50 per car for non-workers travelling to and from the Rock.
O
ther than portraying them as two vociferous schoolmates at a playground who have been dragged into a controversy that neither wanted, Rajoy and Cameron are not to blame for this latest diplomatic row. They should – and I believe it will happen – agree to return to the tripartite commission that worked effectively during the previous Zapatero government when differences over border and maritime policies and other issues were ironed out in a gentlemanly fashion with the two sides discussing the issues and Gibraltarian officials allowing Britain to do the talking. But this entire current mess centres on the colony’s 41-year-old firebrand chief minister, Fabian Picardo, who appears to want to make a name for himself in the international arena and appears not to want any dialogue.
P
icardo, a radical within the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party who was elected in 2011, called out the British navy last fall to threaten Andalusian fisherman to get off his property. Then, with his best Peter Sellers impression from the 1959 comedy classic “The Mouse that Roared,” he threw a nasty punch at this nation in June when he label Spain “a bully” before the United Nations Decolonization Committee. Gibraltar is on the committee’s list, which means the United Nations doesn’t formally recognise it as a sovereign state, but Picardo is trying – albeit so far unsuccessfully – to remove the Rock from that disgraceful catalogue of secondary jurisdictions. This month Picardo went further and said Spain was acting like North Korea because of its border control policies.
I
nsults aside, there has also been much hypocrisy in this latest dispute. First we had Picardo complaining last year that the trawling methods used by Andalusian fishermen were detrimental to the waters that surround the colony. But months later, he agreed to the dumping of tonnes of massive concrete blocks in the Mediterranean as a measure – an unsafe one on top of that – to prevent Spanish fishing boats from getting near Gibraltarian waters, which are not recognised by Spain. There is no telling what the eventual environmental effects of Picardo’s “para-expansion” project of Gibraltarian territory will have on sea life in the years to come. Then we have Mr Cameron, who months before raised a lot of public questions about Britain’s continued relationship in the EU, but now is seeking help from bureaucratic Brussels to punish Spain for its border actions. And Rajoy is not above the rest. Early last year he was fuming over President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s rash decision to expropriate Repsol’s YPF affiliate; the two reportedly haven’t held a private conversation since. To go after Britain, Rajoy now is looking to forge an alliance with Argentina, which currently holds the rotating chairmanship of the UN Security Council and has demanded that Cameron initiate talks over the Falklands.
Y
es, this is the silly season: when tempers flare, politicians say and do outlandish things, and the weather gets unbearably warm, making it easier to put many on edge as their brains toast in the sun.

Charity golf and fun Reliable and efficient day to join in with - that’s Simon Morris! this weekend
Advertising feature
Simon Morris and his digger are here to help you with anything around your finca and garden. Having built up a successful building and landscaping business over a ten-year period on the Isle of Wight, Simon had been watching many “How to make a go of it in Spain” programmes on the TV and caught the bug.
This year’s Golf and Fun day to raise money for the very worthwhile LARF charity is to take place on Sunday 18th August at the La Cala Resort’s Campo America course.
The tournament will be over an 18 hole Stableford round with a shotgun start at 10am, so not too early for everyone to get there! Both male and female golfers are invited to take part in this great day for a worthwhile cause with special prizes for “Longest Drive” and “Nearest the pin”. The entry fee of just €50 per player includes your green fee, shared buggy, a
light buffet and the prize award ceremony.
To book your place you can call into Henry’s Bar and Grill on Jardin Botanico 33-34, La Cala (landside of the N340), call Henry on 647 627 825 or at La Cala Resort. LARF raises money to assist in the treatment and care of teenagers and young people under the age of 24, primarily those undergoing treatment for cancer and leukaemia.
LARF is a UK-based charity in the Cornwall area who are raising funds to assist the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust
in the introduction of providing medical facilities, equipment and support specifically designed for these young people, and will run alongside Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust clinical site strategy development plan.
The long-term aim is annually to raise funds to enable RCHT to have specialist trained medical staff to support these individuals whilst undergoing cancer/ leukaemia treatment, either within a hospital environment or as outreach community support.
Simon studied at Merristwood Agricultural College in Guildford and having been his own boss since he was 16 years old, he decided to continue with the business he had built up in England and just transfer the trade to here in Spain. Nine years later and he’s still here, enjoying the work and, of course, the lifestyle. Too many days were lost to rain in the UK, and he says it is a real pleasure to enjoy the long sunny days and accomplish so much. Having built up a good client base, and a good reputation for his work ethic, reliability and honesty, he has an excellent rapport with his customers and is often called back for more work once his customers have used him once. Simon says: “The work here is varied, and can be anything from small
requests, like fitting shelves or replacing a tap washer, to more complex jobs such as fitting kitchens, constructing terraces and also building extensions. I am a minidigger driver, and owning a mini digger here has also opened up more work opportunities. After answering an advert in 'The News' newspaper I volunteered my services at a Donkey Sanctuary in Estepona. With the mini digger I was able to level an area of ground for a much needed excercise ring for the animals, and I have since returned there to do various other jobs. I am pretty handy around the home and garden too,
doing all those jobs that people need doing but never get around to doing!”
The News would be happy to recommend Simon as we were told by the Donkey Sanctuary that he turned up on time and when he said he would – always a bonus here! – and that he was pleasant and helpful throughout. As he says, they had him back to do more work so, for a hard pressed charity, his prices must be pretty good too!
You can call Simon on 678 450 051.
New photographic exhibition opens to the general public in Grazalema During the last three years over 30 exhibitions from local artists, photographers and sculptors have been held in the ‘Salas Culturas’ located on the upper level in the Centro de Información Turística de Grazalema.
These exhibitions have attracted thousands of people to Grazalema, as well as enhancing the enjoyment of visitors passing through the office seeking information about the area.
All of the exhibitions have been a pleasure to organise and display but without doubt the one exhibition whose result was exceptional has to be that of nature photographer Sue Eatock with her impressive collection of photographs and information sheets studying the fauna and flora of the Sierra de Grazalema. Her exhibition alone attracted over 300 people on the inauguration day and over 1000 people visited it during the six weeks it was exhibited.
It is a great pleasure that once again there is an opportunity to display more of Sue’s work. The new exhibition entitled ‘Seasons of the Sierra’ has already been inaugurated and is now open to the public. This exhibition will run for six months and as the seasons change it too will be fluid in its nature, with new images being displayed every few weeks. This photographic project is unique, innovative and of a very
high quality – it truly is an interpretation of the fauna and flora of this beautiful Natural Park.
‘Seasons of the Sierra’ Portrayal of the flora and fauna of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park
You are invited to take a close look at the vast array of plant life and wild life of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park
through this exhibition of over 300 beautifully detailed photographs. As we move through the seasons from summer to spring you will want to return to see how the images evolve to reflect those changes. This exhibition is part of a project created by Sue Eatock to study nature in the Sierra de Grazalema, collating that information species by species with photographs and bilingual text in an easy to appreciate format.
written and supplied by Clive Muir, Centro de Información Turística Museo Artesanal en Vivo. For more information go to: www.centrodeinformacion grazalema.info or www.grazalemaguide.com or www.turismograzalema. info The exhibition is being held at Plaza Asomaderos 3, Grazalema, 11610, Cádiz.

Community News Lorna’s 60th birthday bash
A year on and still with no right to rebuild
Homeowners in Mijas whose homes were damaged by the wild fires of August last year are still not allowed to carry out repairs or rebuild their homes. The planning authorities in Andalucia say they have exhausted their “vida útil” or “useful life”. Lorna Hurn, secretary of the Coin branch of the Royal British Legion (pictured above with her husband Simon), celebrated her 60th birthday along with 44 companion branch members and friends on Sunday August 11th. A Cava reception was followed by endless plates of fantastic food prepared
by the team at the venta in Coin. Lorna received so many presents and cards, Simon could barely fit them in the car to drive home. Everyone who attended had a wonderful time and Lorna expressed a big thank you to Marisa and Dani of La Consulta who converted her special day into an outstanding one.
The background to this is complicated. The problem is one of the legality of the homes.
Most of the town halls in Andalucia are preparing the way to regularise the many illegal homes that have been built in rural areas. They plan to do this by means of designating them “asimiladas a las de fuera

de ordenación” in accordance with Decreto 2/2012. This process will cost the property owners something in the region of 6-10,000€.
Once a house is designated as “asimiladas a las de fuera de ordenación” no works of consolidation, enlargement, modernisation or increase in value may be carried out on them. The only work that can be carried out is small repairs to maintain the hygiene and safety of the property. The idea behind these rules is that in time the properties will cease to exist i.e. they will have exhausted their “vida útil”. This is why the Mijas “fire victims” cannot get permission to carry out repairs and why to this day they remain homeless. This may seem like a localised injustice but the problem of illegal homes is very widespread. In the Mijas municipality there are 4,500 of these illegal homes and in Coin 6,000. It is estimated that throughout Spain there are over one million illegal homes. In other words – over one million homes in Spain potentially have no protection from fire, flood, storm, landslide or earthquake. As the law stands, if they are damaged or destroyed they will be considered to have reached the end of their useful life!
As the Victimas del Incendio spokesperson, I wrote to all members of the legislature in Madrid to draw their attention to this situation. They are currently debating a new state law – Ley de Rehabilitación, Regeneración y Renovación Urbanas (which also makes changes to the Ley del Suelo). I have asked that the new law should include provision that under no circumstances can damage caused by a force majeure, accidental damage, third party criminal acts or negligence
of another be treated as the termination of the useful life (vida útil) of the building.
It is hoped that they accept this amendment– it could open the door to repair/rebuild the fire damaged homes but also it
would ensure that the ragic situation that has occurred in Mijas cannot happen elsewhere in Spain. Written by Pat Laing and sent in by Yvonne Warwick

Rafa Branches merge That’s to take in Gibraltar huge!
Maxime Marim, 40 years old and a British citizen lives in Spain with her Columbian partner.
On Wednesday at 4:43 in the morning at the Hospital Marina Salud in Denia, northern Spain, she gave birth to a 13 pound (6.2 kilos) baby girl. She was Marim’s fourth child – all of which have weighed in at over 4.5 kilos – and she said that she knew the baby was big “but not that big!”. For the past 11 years, the Benalmádena Branch of RAFA has served an area from Estepona in the West, to East Malaga, and about 80kM inland. This is about to change.
With the reduction in RAF numbers on Gibraltar, it is no longer viable for the RAFA Branch there to continue. It has been decided to merge them with the Benalmadena Branch and reform the Costa del Sol Branch 1342 and remain the most senior RAFA Branch in Spain. This change, effective immediately, more accurately describes the area of responsibility now undertaken by the Branch. We now cover South West Spain from Malaga in the east, and right up to the Gibraltar border and over it for welfare cases as required. The members there have been absorbed into the new branch which will be administered in Spain. The Welfare Team are involved in many cases where ex-RAF or their spouses and dependents require help ranging from medical or care help, repatriation, or simply the use of our disability aids. We arrange home help and care, and provide the essential link to the RAF Benevolent Fund and Social Services, in UK and in Spain. Recently we have been receiving two to four new cases every month all of which have to be assessed and processed. Since 2006, this branch
alone has disbursed over 290,000€ in welfare aid to needy cases, averaging 40,000€ per year and peaking to 60,000€ a year.
The Branch is registered in Spain to ensure the correct and legal distribution of monies received from the UK, and that collected here under the banner of "Wings" collections.
The Royal Air Forces Association, RAFA, was founded in the 1920´s to provide help, welfare, support, friendship and care for the whole RAF family – that is, anyone who has served or is serving in the RAF or Commonwealth Air Forces Worldwide. This includes those who served in the many conflicts, from WWII through to the more recent ones such as the Gulf Wars, Iraq and Afghanistan, those who just served without being involved in these conflicts, and current serving personnel and their families, spouses, and dependents. RAFA is also a membership organisation, open to ex-RAF (Full Members) and the general public (Associate Members).
With around 60,000 members and 500 branches in the United Kingdom, throughout Europe and further afield, membership offers a wide range of benefits for serving or former RAF personnel and anyone with an interest in aviation.
Welfare help is NOT dependent on being a member of RAFA, this help or assistance is available to any qualifying RAF or ex-RAF person, or his/her spouse or dependent. Being a member helps in keeping in touch and goes towards funding the many cases we handle each year.
For further information, visit our website, www.rafacostadelsol.co.uk where you will find lots of information including the programme of social events.
We meet at Hotel Tamisa Golf, Mijas Costa, at 13.00 hrs on the first Monday of each month, and at The Peacock Grill and Bar, Avenida Bonanza, Arroyo de le Miel, at 14.00 hrs, on the 3rd Monday of each month.
The baby girl, named Maria Lorena Marin, was a totally natural birth with not even an epidural to deaden the pain. Most babies of this size would be born by Caesarean section and Maria Lorena has broken all records for the largest baby born naturally in Spain.
"In my 40-year professional career I have never known of any case of a birth with this weight by natural childbirth. We are all very satisfied with the work which we carried out," the head of the hospital's department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Javier Rius, said in a statement. Mum and baby are both doing well.
The Branch Hon. Secretary is Ron Sibbett on 607 586 894. We look forward to your support.

W A L KE R ’ S W IL DSIDE No prizes for guessing the theme of this article! Red and black spells a distasteful danger for the predators of these bugs.
Bugs are from the order Hemiptera and form some 75,000 known species of which 8,000 occur in Europe and 1,700 in the UK. All species possess a piercing beak which sucks juices from plants or other animals. The three species shown here are true bugs but come from different sub orders – too much
detail for this article so read on and enjoy!
The familiar cuckoo spit found in gardens and hedgerows come from frog hoppers. The soft bodied nymphs of frog hoppers are protected from predators and kept moist by the spit which encases them. Peel back a corner of the spit and the nymph can be seen inside. They are so named for their ability to jump like frogs when threatened. The froth or spit is secreted from the anus which
trickles over the body and then mixed with air. The Red and Black froghopper nymphs live on roots surrounded by solidified froth and live mainly in woodlands.
Shield bugs, in the large picture, are so called because of their general shape. They are also known as Stink bugs because some of the species emit foul smelling fluids when threatened. These bugs are both carnivorous and herbivorous and come in a

The Mo r Tal i n sTr uMen Ts: Ci Ty o f Bo n es Directed by Harald Zwart Starring: Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower
This action adventure fantasy film is based on the first book of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. The story takes place in an urban and contemporary New York City.
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder – much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the
body disappears into thin air.
It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing – not even a smear of blood – to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an
Director: Robert Redford Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Robert Redford, Anna Kendrick
After years in hiding, exWeather Underground militant, Nick Sloan aka Jim Grant, learns about his old compatriot's arrest for a bank robbery turned deadly in the 1970s, for which he is wanted as an accomplice. This puts the ambitious young local
reporter, Ben Shepard, on the scent of a story that exposes Nick as well.
Nick goes on the run, first taking his daughter to safety. With that accomplished, Nick stays one step ahead of the FBI while pursuing a faint
ersonally, I think that the only films that warrant special effects are Sci-Fi and when it comes to Sci-Fi, the only ones that are worth watching are “Star Wars” (first three only) and of course “Star Trek”. Unlike JJ Abrams first “Star Trek” film back in 2009, “Into Darkness” is much better. For starters it’s a lot simpler, none of this bad guys from the past angry at Spock from the future, but current Spock unaware of why people want to kill him. Whaaaat? Exactly!

hope to clear his name. Meanwhile, Shepard digs deeper into the case himself as he discovers the true complexities of another time’s determined ideals – even as Nick faces their consequences with another.
his tasty sequel “Into Darkness” is about revenge, pure and simple. The film starts with Starfleet offices in London being bombed, but this is more as a distraction to get all of Starfleet’s “top men” – who are the main targets – into one room. However, ole smarty pants Captain Kirk is there and almost saves the day. Sadly he didn’t save Captain Pike, so asks Admiral Marcus’s permission to go after the perpetrator, Khan.
O
nce Kirky tracks Khan down and captures him, he slowly starts to see that Admiral Marcus is a bit of a douche bag, and perhaps he was wrong about Khan. While Marcus plans to blow Kirk’s ship up, if he doesn’t hand over Khan (and the torpedoes, won’t say anymore “spoilers”), Khan and Kirk sneak on board Marcus’s ship, where Khan shows his true colours and Marcus does an excellent Colonel Jessup impersonation.
C
onsidering Kirk went after Khan for blowing up a couple of people in London and then killing a
few Starfleet officers, Kirk probably ended up responsible for thousands of deaths after taking down Khan’s ship, which annihilated a lot of buildings. So, Khan kills about 50 people (bad, bad, evil Khan), meanwhile, Kirk wipes out 10% of San Francisco’s population, but that’s ok, as he did it for “Truth, Justice and the American Way”. Perhaps I have a slanted view on life, because I don’t think Khan was bad at all – he was trying to save his people, he just went about it the wrong way.
A
ll in all, I think this is quite a good film, but, it could have been a little shorter. There are three things I did not particularly care for: One, the argument between Spock and Uhura when they are being followed by Klingons could have been seriously edited. Two: Carol taking her clothes off in front of Kirk – this scene is totally pointless and time consuming, and three, Kirk’s death scene – way too long, the best bit is when he dies and Spock screams “KHAAAAAAN!”. I would have liked to have seen Khan kick Kirk around a bit more too, but we can’t have it all!
A
ccording to Abrams, in the future we will all drive Toyota Priuses and hair gel still doesn’t hold very well. As for Benedict Cumberbatch who totally steals the film, he shows us a completely different side but still reminds us that he is smarter and better than we are – basically he’s just being a bad Sherlock. Whatever you do, let him sleep and don’t cut his tree down (“Parades End” ) !!

There isn’t much that can hold you back this week, your passions are running high, this is an action packed time full of challenges and fun. Your playful and flirtatious nature is coming out for all to see, your powers of attraction are high, so expect some wanted and unwanted attention. Remember the details when putting together an action plan it could be easy to overlook the mundane tasks that need attending to. The ball has found its way back into your court, some emotional issue has been playing on your mind and now you are in a position to have the upper hand. You can handle just about anything now and do what needs to be done to take advantage of your current opportunities. Make sure your attention remains on making your home life that solid foundation upon which you can build.
Make no mistake Gemini, changes are coming and it's up to you to determine how the outcome will affect you. One thing leads to another, so if you encounter some obstacles, restrictions or delays, it is part of it, try and be patient. The unknown can create a well of discomfort especially if those choices to be made impact on your financial livelihood. Spontaneous conversations can lead to a different approach which makes all the difference. It is all about the financial condition and areas of your life and at the moment your mind is razor sharp well able to solve any riddle or puzzle that is put in front of you. Abundance and prosperity is winging its way towards you, then you can spend more time developing your talents and abilities. Leadership roles are required of you now. Others will be looking to you to take charge and to set yourself apart from the pack. Conditions and events could seem similar to the past but are likely to be loaded with surprises at every turn. Even though you think you have seen it and done it, you will soon realise that things have changed and moved on since then. Slow down and think very carefully before making promises you can’t keep or making statements that you cannot back up. Focus on the tasks in front of you and try not to get side tracked. You are being reminded of all those things that mean the world to you, some things are transient and they only fill you up in the moment leaving a void to be filled the next day, however, others are permanent and leave you feeling warm inside. You are figuring out the difference this week. You are now setting the tone; your thoughts and the emotional current that pulses within you, focus on your dreams and let miracles happen in your life.
LIBRA
There is an odd combination of feeling emotionally empty and at the same time others are tugging on you with their need for you to help them in their process. Striking a healthy balance is the key; the heavens are trying to bring you more pleasure and enjoyment from life and the things you do at this time will bring you additional rewards. Follow your instincts when it comes September 23rd - to figuring others out as what they do and say can be confusing. October 22nd

Acer is the fourth largest computer maker by shipments. However, it has been hit hard by falling demand for laptop and desktop computers. Wang told investors that it would focus increasingly on Google’s Android and Chromebook operating systems. Wang’s statement represents a major shift in Acer’s strategy – and very good news for Microsoft’s rival Google.

You may not be able to think your way out of feeling something, but you will be able to think differently about what you are feeling, knowing this road is yours, you created it and you will make the very most of your time here. Your chart gives you incredible levels of concentration and focus right now and this is the kind of pattern that leads to significant material success because it allows you to work out all the details in your mind before taking any kind of action.
There is a second chance at something you thought was over, a surprising and potentially pleasing turn of events catches you when you least expect it. It can involve connections with others that you thought were long gone and in your past, maybe something feels unresolved, you have more to say and you get another chance to clear your name. This week you find your voice and feel your heart beating loudly. You may have the tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt, over trusting at times, but nothing will get past you now. This is also an excellent time to initiate a new health regime that works not only well but fast. You are really starting to see things turning around in a major way for you, most of it is the result of being able to harness more of your personal power.

Often you feel more than you want to and this can have a way of stirring up some unwanted emotion that not only won’t let you go, it is emotion you thought you were done with. A break from the overwhelming surge that has demanded your undivided attention is however on its way. This will give you a kind of objectivity that will allow you to view the situation from a different perception, bringing some kind of relief.

The new strategy is designed to help the PC maker recover revenues and profits lost over the last couple of years. “We are trying to grow our non-Windows business as soon as possible,” said Wang, “Android is very popular in smartphones and dominate in tablets … I also see a new
market there for Chromebooks,” he added. According to the Wall Street Journal, Wang told investors that it was up to “the Windows camp” to restore confidence among PC users before his company would invest in more products. He said that a lack of confidence in Windows had resulted in potential customers becoming hesitant to buy a Windows computer. “For the PC industry, I haven’t seen light at the end of the tunnel,” he warned. That lack of green shoots means that Acer must focus on new growth areas, he added. “First, we have to sustain our market share and protect our bottom line – and by doing tablets and
smartphones right, we can be prepared for the day after tomorrow.” However, concerns will be raised over the viability of Acer to make a serious impact in those markets. Concerns have been raised in recent months that there are too many smartphones on the market. Analysts have also predicted a wave of consolidation similar to that which swept away many big names of the PC market in the late 90s. Acer posted a net loss of £7.3 million in the second quarter. That compares to a net profit of £1.5 million during the second quarter last year.

Ask Calvin and Sue: Hair & Beauty Dear Sue,
I never seem to be able to choose the right foundation, which is the best way to find the right colour for me? Roberta, Mijas Dear Roberta,
Many ladies have this problem as there are so many to choose from. Firstly you need to decide exactly what you want the end result to look like. By this I mean do you want a light coverage that a tinted moisturizer would give or do you want a complete coverage which will require a thicker cream? From this you can start to narrow down the field. Many ladies who have or have had an oily
skin prefer a matt finish, others prefer a satin finish. As we are in summer will you need a darker shade if you have a tan or are you going to apply it over a fake tan? I always have two foundations on the go and mix them to get darker as the summer comes. To test for coverage of a foundation applying it to the back of your hand works well but to test the shade you should apply to a freshly cleansed and toned face and check how it looks every couple of hours in the mirror. Dear Sue,
As a lady of more mature years I am developing lines on my face and hate them. I don't want to go down the

surgery route or Botox. So what are my alternatives?
Melanie, Alhaurin de la Grande Dear Melanie,
The quick answer to this is regularity. By this I mean regular use of good creams, regular facials (as many fine lines are a result of dehydration) and a regular course of non surgical face lifts. In my salon I have a wonderful machine called the 'Diana' which is the strongest nonsurgical face lifting machine available. The effects are of a lifting nature (as you would go to a gym to tone muscles regularly) so this will, if used regularly, tone and thus lift the muscles making the face look younger. Always wear sun glasses when outside to
avoid screwing your eyes up in the sun which encourages wrinkle formation. You said in your letter that you don't want to go and have surgery or Botox. There is another alternative – fillers. Many of these are made of hylarunic acid, a substance found naturally that we lose with age. This can be injected painlessly into the wrinkle and literally fills it up immediately. Dear Calvin,
I have had blonde hair for years and fancied a change so bought a home colouring kit in a chestnut colour. It is now orange! HELP! Bethany, Mijas Costa Dear Bethany,
The best solution to rid your hair of the orange is to re-dye your hair. Use ash shades or neutral as these will kill the orange tones. The orange tones should fade very quickly in this weather. For a natural solution to this

dilemma try lemon juice spread through your hair and then to sit in the sun. Please remember that either of these treatments could dry your hair out so please use a treatment afterwards to replenish the hair’s natural oils. Dear Calvin,

Dear Maggie,
There could be a number of reasons why this happened.
1. Perhaps when you had your hair coloured they didn't rinse it out properly. 2. Has your hairdresser changed their brand of colour? 3. Was a shampoo or product used?
different styling
4. Are you on any medication or did you start taking a new one? 5. Had you changed anything in your diet?
Any of the above or a combination could be contributing factors as to why your scalp felt like it did.

People either seem to love them or hate them and there’s rarely a grey area
But are they art or mutilation?
… and now there are new Health and Safety regulations for the ones who decide to have one What are we talking about? Tattoos of course!
Some people think tattoos are solely for criminals and the “lower classes”. Some think they’re OK for men to have them – especially sailors – but not women. There are those who have virtually their whole body covered in them and others who will have a discreet butterfy or rose on a hip or in places that only their partner will see, but all will agree that they would want them done in a sterile and hygienic way.
Some tattoos can be quite beautiful but it takes a very clever artist to achieve the right end result and all too often you just end up looking like you’ve got a load of ‘prison tats’ everywhere. Earlier this year tattoo artist Kevin
Paul, who had worked on celebrities such as Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran, launched a campaign to make tattooing safer for everybody. He was horrified by the fact that totally untrained people were buying the equipment on sites such as eBay, renting a lock-up, and launching themselves as tattoo artists.The only regulations at present are that there must be running water, an autoclave (sterlising tank) – and who knows if they’d use it anyway – and wipeable surfaces.
He was worried by the fact that stars were showing off their tattoos and fans were rushing out to copy their idols, not knowing that the artist they pick might be going at them with needles and inks without having a clue what they’re doing. Getting unsightly tats removed is a lengthy and nasty
Hole in one? Not quite!
business that can involve bad scarring. Not quite the look the likes of David Beckham and co would want! He was also worried by the fact that young children are getting tattooed without the consent of their parents.
Kevin said: “Permanent scarring to the skin can be caused if the tattoo is not done correctly and bloodborne diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV can be spread.” He wants training in the form of apprenticeships and certificates to prove that they know what they’re doing. So if you want a tat, make sure you go to a recommended artist and think about whether it will look as good as it does now, when you reach 60 – and if you don’t start with a bod like Beckham’s, most of them won’t!

John Carrington Sir: Re: Edition 237: There is no scientific evidence that using a ‘blood thinner’ results in a person feeling colder, or that living in any particular climate thickens or thins the blood. I have been on Sintrom (often incorrectly referred to as a blood thinner) for years. They do not thin the blood, but increase the time taken for blood to clot. People moving from one climate to another take time to adjust to the change. Thus, one might be aware of the higher or lower temperatures. Of course, as we age we also acclimatise more slowly so
may wrongly believe ‘our thick or thin’ blood is to blame. On the point of Right to the Winter Fuel Allowance.
The DWP, following a Court of Justice of the European Union ruling, on another matter, reconsidered their policy on WFA payments and decided they had been wrong in denying the payment to those who had not claimed it before moving to Spain and some other countries. (Those who were in receipt of the payment before moving had continued receiving it.)
Penny James In reply to the recent letter from Mr Petie it would sound like this gentleman certainly isn’t hard up for a bob or two and can well afford to “pooh pooh” those of us who, through no fault of our own – but, in many cases because of the exchange rates and the rising costs of living in Spain, desperately need the Winter Fuel Allowance (that which seems to have been shortened by everyone to the WFA that just goes to show how many people are talking about it!).

Las Chapas
I moved to Spain after both my husband and son died in an accident and just couldn’t stand to be in the UK any more with the memories of it all. I came here nearly 20 years ago to seek new friends, a new and better life, and a cheaper one. It started to fall apart with the ridiculous rise of prices as we entered into the Euro monetary system – those of you that have lived here long enough will know what I mean when I say that prices rose out of all proportion once we did away with the much
Marty Stewart
The UK may decide to Means Test the allowance, but the DWP’s decision that they were wrong not to pay it, I believe is tantamount to saying it was a right and not, as Mr. Petie suggested in edition 238, a “gift” – which incidentally might apply to the Christmas Bonus which is not denied to any pensioner, including those of us living in Spain.
Sorry, but I have to ask... what is all this whingeing by expats living here about not getting their winter fuel allowances and not getting their pensions when they thought they should? It seems to be the topic of every function I go to where there is anybody over the age of 50 and, frankly, I’m fed up of hearing it! If you really feel strongly about it, why don’t you do like the French have and get yourselves organised into a group. Many voices – and there do seem to be quite a lot of you – will get a better chance of overturning legislation than individuals having a moan. I’m sure if you Google it, you could even join up with the Frogs and
loved peseta. Also, Mr Petie is lucky that he gets his pension. I had budgetted my savings to last me until age 60, the age at which I had been told all my working life in the UK I would get it, only to be told that I don’t get it until I’m 66-years-old! I call that breach of contract and theft of my money but can we do anything about it....? Not a chance I’d say! So Mr Petie, stop being so smug and have a thought for the rest of us that aren’t so well off.
El Faro
be an even bigger “Europe wide” group. What happened to all those Brits that marched on the “Ban the Bomb” and all manner of causes in the ‘70s? So, please, stop moaning, get off your bums and do something!
Editor says: Well, that should get people’s juices going! I’m one of those caught in the trap of not getting my pension for an extra 6 years and am not happy about it. I have indeed been in touch with the lot in France who seem to be at least getting some debates going with MPs, MEPs etc so, actually, I agree, we should start joining groups and writing letters at once if we’re not happy.
Comment By Ken Campbell
Once in a Blue Moon
B
Most people have heard or even used the term ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ so what is a Blue Moon?
efore calendars were invented people counted the time between each full Moon as being one month. In the old western movies the Indians were always referring to ‘many Moons ago’. But counting full Moons is not a very accurate method as there are about 12 1/3 full moons in each year and before you know it your dates and seasons are way out of sync.
B
ecause of this extra 1/3 then every three years or so there will be 13 full Moons in the year. In ancient times people gave names to each full Moon – these names varied across different cultures but virtually every society had a name for each full Moon. Most of us have heard of the ‘harvest Moon’ that usually falls around September or October. But with the extra full Moon every three years an extra name had to be invented.
T
he suggestion has been made that the term ‘blue Moon’ arose from a corruption of other words with the "blue" replacing the no-longerunderstood “belewe” meaning "to betray". The original meaning would then have been "betrayer Moon", referring to a full Moon which betrays the standard of 12 Moons to the year.
I
n later years a blue Moon was described as being the third of four full Moons that fall in a season. The four seasons beginning at the winter solstice (December 21st) to the spring equinox (March 21st) then to the summer solstice (June 21st) the autumn equinox (September 21st) and finally back to the winter solstice.
S
ince this year’s summer solstice there has been a full Moon on Sunday 23rd June and Monday 22nd July. The next full Moon that will occur at 02.15 in the morning of Wednesday 21st August will be the third full Moon of this year’s summer season and so qualifies as a blue Moon. The following full Moon will occur on Thursday 19th September two days before the autumn equinox. A blue Moon under this definition will occur about once every three years.
B
ut in 1946, the highly respected astronomy magazine ‘Sky and Telescope’ printed an article and by pure misinterpretation they confused the definition of a blue Moon. They said that a blue Moon was the second full Moon that fell in a particular month. As the period between full Moons is roughly 29 days then it is possible for a month to have
T
two full Moons.
his definition of a blue Moon caught on and became more popular than the original as two full Moons in one month occurs about every two years or so. The last time was in August 2012 and the next time there will be a month with two full Moons will be on 2nd and 31st July 2015. Hardly ‘once in a blue Moon’ you might say.
A
s February usually only has 28 days this is the only month capable of having no full Moon at all. This occurs about once every 20 years. The last time that February had no full Moon was in 1999. It won’t happen again until 2018 when the full Moon will occur on January 2nd and 31st and then again on March 2nd and March 31st – in effect (according to ‘Sky and Telescopes’ definition) causing two blue Moons to occur in the same year.
B
ut on very rare occasions the Moon can appear blue. The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, as happened after forest fires in Sweden and Canada in 1950 and 1951. Also after the volcanic eruption on Krakatoa in 1883 – this caused the moon to appear blue for nearly two years. Other less potent volcanoes have also turned the Moon blue. People saw blue Moons in 1983 after the eruption of the El Chichón volcano in Mexico, and there are reports of blue Moons caused by Mount St. Helens in 1980 and Mount Pinatubo in 1991.
T
he only other time that the Moon can change colour is during a total lunar eclipse when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon. As the light from the Sun is scattered through our atmosphere it creates a circle of red surrounding the Earth, this then turns the Moon a very deep shade of brick red in colour.

Citroen aiming Lotus embarks on major for top spot recruitment drive MiniSUV
Citroen CEO Frederic Banzet believes the new C4 Picasso will outshine rivals to top Europe's compact miniSUV segment. "The C4 Picasso offers novel features not found in other miniSUV’s," Banzet said at the vehicle's press launch at Cascais, Portugal.
The C4 Picasso is a key launch for Citroen. The car delivers a high profit margin and is also the first vehicle underpinned by parent PSA/PeugeotCitroen's Efficient Modular Platform 2 (EMP2). Among the "novel" features Banzet was referring to is "360 Vision," which uses four cameras to provide different views around the car to help parking.
The car also has a sophisticated, easy-to-use infotainment system that offers downloadable apps and two separate screens on the dashboard. One screen is a 12-inch console displaying navigation and vehicle-related information, as well as personal photos that can be uploaded from a USB key. The other is a 7-inch touchpad used for adjusting heat and air conditioning, audio and telephone functions.
Currently the C4 Picasso/ C4 Grand Picasso ranks fifth in sales in Europe's compact SUV segment. A reduced front overhang helps to make the mini SUV 40mm shorter at 4430mm than the outgoing model but its wheelbase is 55mm longer, which gives the car a spacious interior. The C4 Picasso is
available with two petrol and two diesel engines. The most fuel-efficient unit – a diesel mated to a six-speed automated manual transmission – has CO2 emissions of 98 grams per kilometre. The five-seat C4 Picasso's summer introduction in Europe will be followed by the market launch of a sevenseat Grand C4 Picasso after its debut at the Frankfurt auto show in September.
Iconic British car manufacturer Lotus has announced that it is to create more than 100 new jobs, including a new intake to its revamped graduate programme. The firm will recruit 45 specialist engineers and 40 manufacturing operatives, along with 18 graduates. The recruitment drive follows a £100 million investment by owners DRBHICOM, enabling the company to strengthen its engineering, productivity, efficiency and quality.
Both the engineering specialists and graduates will work on the development of new products within Lotus
Engineering, one of the most renowned automotive engineering facilities in the world. Lotus has created the new positions in response to increased global demand for its sports cars and an anticipated rise in interest in its engineering consultancy services. The firm is also focusing on growing into new global markets as currently around 90% of all Lotus vehicles are exported.
Lotus Exige S Lotus, which recently unveiled its latest model, the Exige S Roadster (picture above), employs more than 1,100 staff across the UK with its headquarters based in Hethel, Norfolk.

Lack of spectators at World Athletics Championships Never before in the field of sporting conflict can so much have been given by so many and watched by so few as the men and women vying for the title of the world’s greatest athlete set about their work in a virtually empty Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday. The championships got underway on Saturday with the women’s marathon, in blistering conditions with no shade, and run on what must be the most boring circuit ever – four laps along the embankment of the Moskva river (from Luzhniki to the Kremlin and back) returning to the stadium’s track for the last 300m. Edna Kiplagat of Kenya won her second straight world championship title making a late surge to pull past Valeria Straneo of Italy. Kiplagat won in 2 hours, 25 minutes, 44 seconds. Kayoko Fukushi
of Japan took bronze, two full minutes behind. You had to feel sorry for Italian Straneo who had led for almost the entire race, wearing down the other athletes until it was just her and Kiplagat, but you just knew that the inevitable was going to happen – just as it usually did to our own Paula Radcliffe. The organisers have claimed 80% of tickets have been sold for the nine-day championships and were hoping for a full house later on Sunday for the men’s 100m semifinals and final, with top draw card Usain Bolt appearing. The average price for tickets is 1,000 roubles, regarded as affordable for ordinary Muscovites. But even with tickets available for the equivalent of €2 the crowds couldn’t be tempted in. The same thing happened at The World Cup sevens at the
same venue in June, attracting disappointing crowds after initial claims 104,000 tickets had been sold proved to be wrong. Bolt made it through to the final and won in 9.78 seconds, with American Jason Gatlin 2nd. Britain’s James Dasaolu was eighth in 10.21. Revenge was oh so sweet on Saturday evening for Mo Farah, and he admitted he was spurred on by the memory of having the title snatched away last time. The double Olympic champion produced his usual devastating final lap to defeat Ethiopian Ibrahim Jeilan, the man who pipped him to the crown two years ago in Daegu. Farah created history once again as he became the first British man to win a 10,000m world title. By Mike Kerrigan
Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips
I am now looking for your questions on hands played in Holdem or Omaha, so if you have poker questions or views you want discussing on this page please email wayne@bolsa-fiesta.com. This week we have a poser from John in Torremolinos who plays on 888.es. He says he plays at 5c/10c NLH level and has lost about 70% of his bank roll in under two weeks. John claims to be running very badly, suffering one bad beat after another. He gives an example of a recent loss of a full buy in – “ I caught JJ in the small blind, the table folded round to the button who then raised 3xbb. I then 3 bet with a pot size raise but the button snap called and the flop
came down Jd 6d Ad. I then checked and the button bet about half the pot. I 3bet with an all in, hoping to protect my set, but he called showing the nut flush. How bad is my luck going to get and how do I stop the rot?” First of all John this is not bad luck this it is simply bad poker! You had a set on a dangerous board. You did not have any diamonds so by shoving you are only going to get called by a hand that beats you, which is why you lost a buy in. You 3bet him pre flop and with this board we need to find out where we are – a check with an intention of check raising is dangerous. With this board and our set we needed to bet 2/3 pot. Of course he would just smooth call, now

we
have alarm bells because are they drawing or have they made the flush? I think in this hand we are going to lose chips, we just have to control the pot. Remember it's better to win a smaller pot than lose a big pot. I think a check call here on the turn is fine and should another diamond fall (unless board is pair) we need to muck. Now the river is tricky – more so at these micro on-line levels. At a higher level a player with a made nut flush would value bet, we pay him off and see the bad news. If they shove in all in, fold and call if the bet is less than pot size. You would still have lost this hand but if you have reads on him you have the chance to fold the turn or river if you think you’re beat. Remember sets do not beat straights and flushes. Do not just see a set, read the board and look what can beat you before acting. Just a footnote John – if you are losing money as quickly as you are rethink your game, tighten up, improve your hand selection and learn to use the fold button when it looks like you’re beat.

British girl wins world's longest horse race
Lara Prior-Palmer has become the first Briton, first female rider and the youngest person to win the world's longest horse race. The 1,000km Mongol Derby took riders across Mongolia. American Devan Horn crossed the finish line first but her horse later failed a veterinary inspection. "I can't really believe it," said Prior-Palmer, 19, who is the niece of British equestrian and Olympic silver medallist Lucinda Green. The race, which is in its fifth edition, was won in six days and eight hours and is a recreation of Genghis Khan's ancient postal system – a mammoth network of 25 horse stations across the Mongolian steppe.
England win Ashes outright after fourth test triumph England have won the Ashes series outright after a spectacular Australia collapse in the fourth test.
Australia lost five for 13, after seemingly being set fair in their pursuit of 299, with Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan doing all the damage. Australia, were well-placed at 168 for two but collapsed to 224 all out on the fourth day as paceman Stuart Broad took six wickets for 50 runs for a Test-best match haul
of 11 for 121. This was the first time England, who had already retained the Ashes, had won three successive Test series against Australia since the 1950s. Australia will now look to end a run of eight straight Tests without a win in the final match of the series at The Oval in south London, starting August 21st.
Wiggins and Manxman Mark Cavendish are scheduled to compete. The provisional rider line-up for all 19 teams will be announced later this month. Movistar, Garmin Sharp and Cannondale are the other three Pro teams involved in the race, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Britain's six UCIregistered domestic teams will also take part, along
with a Great Britain national team made up of young riders. Race director Mick Bennett said: "This year's Tour of Britain will have a world-class line-up bringing a number of international stars to race on British roads, while at the same time allowing our top domestic teams and a Great Britain squad to race on the biggest stage possible for them.”

American Jason Dufner erased memories of his stunning late collapse two years ago when he clinched his first major title by two shots in the 95th PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club. One stroke behind playing partner Jim Furyk overnight, the ultralaidback Dufner produced some scintillating approach play on the way to a twounder-par 68 and a 10-under total of 268 on the challenging East Course. The 36-year-old Dufner seized control with three birdies on the front nine and shut the door on his rivals with a steely display of safety-first golf over the difficult closing stretch.

him his fourth birdie of the day and he could afford the luxury of bogeys at 17 and 18 – two of the toughest holes on the course – as he secured his third victory on the PGA Tour. After putting out on the 18th green, Dufner retrieved his ball from the hole before lifting both arms waist-high in celebration with his eyes closed. He was warmly embraced by his wife Amanda just off the green, followed by his good friend Keegan Bradley, the 2011 champion. Dufner had lost out in a playoff to Bradley for that title at Atlanta Athletic Club where he had led by five strokes in regulation while playing the fourth-last hole. "It's been a tough day, a long day," Dufner said after being presented with the coveted Wanamaker Trophy which he hoisted high before kissing it. "It's a tough golf course and it probably hasn't hit me yet. To come back from a couple of years ago in this championship when I lost to Keegan in the playoff, to win feels really, really good.”

Man Utd lift Charity Shield
Robin van Persie ensured the David Moyes era at Manchester United began with a trophy as Wigan were beaten in the FA Community Shield at Wembley. New United boss Moyes has spent most of his summer discussing the future of Wayne Rooney, but back on the pitch it was last year's top scorer Van Persie who again proved the difference. The Dutchman took just six minutes to open his account for the new season, steering a powerful header into the corner from Patrice Evra's clipped cross. And while Championship side Wigan impressed for periods, Van Persie settled the contest after the break when he fired in via a deflection.
