Obama could put Syria plans on hold
US President Barack Obama has said he will put plans for a US military strike against Syria on hold if the country agrees to place its chemical weapons stockpile under international control. But he said he was sceptical the Syrian government would follow through.
As the US Congress began debates about authorising an attack, Russia on Monday proposed Syria relinquish its chemical weapons. The same day, Obama gave a series of television interviews aimed at building support among a US Congress and public
wary of new military action in the Middle East. The president maintains a limited strike is needed to punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime for the use of chemical weapons and to deter it from using them again. "I want to make sure that norm against use of chemical weapons is maintained," Mr Obama told ABC News. "That's in our national security interest. If we can do that

the US Congress to back a resolution authorising him to take military action against Syria, but he implied the timeline for action had shifted.
"The stakes are high, but they are long term," he said, adding that he did not "foresee a succession of votes this week, or any
time in the immediate future".
But he continued: "I don't think that we would have gotten to this point unless we had maintained a credible possibility of a military strike, and I don't think now is the time for us to let up on that.'' CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

At the end of this week we will have visitors. My brother- and sister-in-law will be arriving from the UK where they have been for a couple of weeks but they live in Australia so popping over to see each other is a bit of a lengthy business. Some of you may remember the fabulous holiday we had over there with them. We won’t be doing anything as elaborate as we did over there - I still remember cuddling Wombats, the Great Ocean Road, Tasmania, Melbourne and Sydney and having dinner on the tram going around the city – the sheer opulence of the tram was just like being on the Oreint Express only a lot slower! They’re only here for a few days but it’ll be fabulous seeing them again. I have to confess though that that is the main reason we had the house painted... you just don’t realise how tired a place is beginning to look when you see it all the time until you get a wake-up call such as the imminent arrival of visitors! I have noticed a decided cooling of temperatures at

night over the last week and, at 5am last week it was a glorious 17ºC where we pick up the papers near Malaga Airport. Last week I met the lady I told you about who broke her leg at one of the events I was at earlier in the year. She’s doing OK but, once she got on crutches, the thing slipped out from under her and she broke her wrist! Still, on the good side, the beautiful trousers she was wearing at the time were saved! Jackson’s leg seems to have healed nicely now but he’s started teething so we’re on constant dog-chewing-thefurniture watch now. Ho Hum!
Obama's remarks came after Russia asked Syria to put its chemical weapons stockpiles under international control and then have them destroyed, in an attempt to avoid US military strikes. US allies have also reacted cautiously: •UK Minister David Cameron said the destruction of the weapons would be a "huge step forward", but warned that it should not be used as a "distraction tactic". •French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called on Mr Assad to make "rapid, serious and verifiable" commitments to the plan and said later that France will put a resolution to the UN Security Council to place Syria's chemical weapons

US senators had been expected to take a first vote on the issue on Wednesday, but the test vote on the legislation was postponed on Monday by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who cited "international discussions'' as a reason for the delay. Many US politicians and members of the public remain concerned that military action could draw the nation into a prolonged war and spark broader hostilities in the region. Opinion polls suggest

National News Economy no longer 'in the news'
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was heartened by the fact that the state of the Spanish economy was no longer high on the agenda of discussions at the latest G20 summit in St Petersburg last week.
affairs of the prime minister’s office, Álvaro Nadal, reportedly has graphs showing that Spain’s risk premium is now at the same level as Italy’s, at around 250 basis points for the first time in 18 months – well below the levels seen before the Los Cabos summit. “Things are completely different,” Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said. “We had a bad time of it there and that is something I will write about in my memoirs.”
Speaking at a news conference at the summit, Rajoy said G20 leaders had acknowledged the “overall improvement” in Spain's economy since the last summit of the group in Los Cabos in Mexico in June 2012, when it was feared that Spain would have to ask its European partners for a full-blown bailout, with the country’s risk premium soaring and the economy locked in the grip of recession. “Many things have changed for Spain since the last G20 summit,” Rajoy said. “Spain is no longer in the news in the G20 for that.”
Rajoy spoke briefly with US President Barack Obama in the St Petersburg summit, a spokesman for the prime minister’s office said. Obama had asked about the incipient recovery of the Spanish economy and was open to an official visit by Rajoy to Washington, the spokesman continued.

'Made in Spain' back in fashion Spanish fashion brands enjoy an envious reputation the world over and their market share grows daily, but it's a different story back home, where hundreds of textile and clothing firms have closed their doors. Twenty years ago, around 300,000 people worked in the clothing manufacturing sector in Spain, but that number has been more than halved as companies relocated to Asian countries, especially China. But there are signs that the delocalisation boom is over.
More and more companies are now transferring their production centres back to Spain, including small firms such as Lenita, which specialises in swimwear, bag manufacturers Dándara and Vega Cárcer and footwear maker Rebeca Sanver, as well as giants of the industry such as LVMH, which opened a factory in Spain in 2010 to make belts for the rest of the world. Another leading fashion retailer, Inditex, has opted to relocate part of its output back home, which
One of the reasons for this is that China is no longer such an attractive manufacturing platform for exports. Sharp rises in wages together with the appreciation of the yuan resulting in rising transport costs and import tariffs have wiped out the advantages China enjoyed years back. Industrial wages in China climbed annually by 19 per cent between 2005 and 2010, while they fell 2.2 per cent in the United States.
Asian workers are also becoming more demanding in other ways – strikes are on the rise and legislation is tighter, while deregulation of wages and working conditions is the trend in Europe and the United States. Western brands don't plan to abandon China, which has a
Doubts about independence referendum Oriol Junqueras, the leader of the Catalan Republican Left (ERC), insisted on Monday that the sovereignty referendum should consist of a single question: whether or not Catalans want independence from Spain.
increased the orders it placed domestically to €3.4 billion last year – up from €2 billion in 2011.
domestic market of 1.5 billion people, but rather that it has now become more competitive to manufacture in Europe and the United States.
The so-called ready fashion model has also taken root, which requires clothing companies to have their sources of production much closer to their markets in order to replenish stocks with greater frequency, instead of waiting months for orders to arrive from China. It's also a question of image –- the relocation of output to low-wage countries has come under greater scrutiny and criticism in the wake of tragedies such as the recent collapse of a building housing clothing
manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh.
There is also a growing pressure on large Western companies to stop destroying employment in industry and bring production back home, where quality control is easier. Now the big challenge in Spain is to rebuild an industrial sector that has almost disappeared because of delocalisation. But this could be made easier if large chains such as Mango, Inditex and Cortefiel, which still rely on offshore facilities for 90 percent of their production, opt for a more home-based solution for their manufacturing needs.

Regional Premier Artur Mas upset the ERC, whose support allows his centreright nationalist CiU group to govern, last week when he announced that the self-rule vote would not be held in 2014 – as initially agreed with the ERC to gain its support –if it had not been legally sanctioned by the government in Madrid.
However, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy continues to insist that if Catalonia holds a referendum unilaterally, it would be in breach of the Constitution. The ERC
was even more upset when it was subsequently revealed that Rajoy and Mas have held secret talks to try and find a solution to the self-rule vote impasse. Mas then turned round and reassured the ERC that he still planned to hold the vote in 2014, but there is a faction within the CiU that wants a referendum with several questions that do not directly address independence.
Meanwhile, proindependence Catalans will make a human chain called the Via Catalana stretching from north to south of the region on its special day on September 11th. But the police have already forbidden the chain in areas where it would interfere with traffic flow as well as around landmarks such as the Sagrada Familia.

to repatriate body Almost £10,000 has been raised in two days to help fly back the body of an amateur rugby player who died in a fall from a balcony in Benidorm.
Alan Clare, 34, from Warrington, Cheshire, died on Friday as a result of the injuries he sustained in the fall. An appeal was immediately launched to fly his body home and the money raised in 48 hours.
John Braddish, of Bank Quay Bulls, where Mr Clare played rugby, described the response as "overwhelming". He said one man had donated £1,000 and another club brought in £800 after a collection. Mr Braddish
said Mr Clare, who was known as Bundy, had played for the club since it formed 17 years ago and he was popular and well liked. He thanked the community in Warrington for raising money in such a short space of time. A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national on 6th September and we are providing consular assistance."
Barcelona soccer star Lionel Messi and his father Jorge Horacio Messi have paid €5 million in taxes claimed by the Spanish state in a case of alleged fiscal fraud.
Messi's father deposited the amount, of which €4.1 million was for back taxes and the rest for interest, with a court in Gavá in Barcelona province on August 14th. The tax office opened the fraud case against Messi in June in connection with income earned by ceding the right to use his image. Between
2007 and 2009, Messi earned more than €10 million on which he should have paid €4.1 million in taxes. However, the rights were ceded to companies based in the tax havens of Belize and Uruguay for minimal amounts and the revenues were not declared in Spain.
Officially, Messi could face up to three years in jail and a large fine. While the Barça player is unlikely to spend any time in prison, the decision to pay the €5 million could result in a reduced fine.

“Endoscopy gang” caught Basque police have arrested two men and two women who allegedly belong to a gang that specialised in the theft of medical equipment used in endoscopy – looking inside a patient’s body using a small lens mounted on a long, narrow tube. At a road check in Muskiz (Vizcaya province), the police stopped a car containing hospital equipment worth €300,000. The occupants of the vehicle were Venezuelan and Colombian nationals
– a father and son aged 61 and 33 and two women aged 25 and 64 who have been charged with eight thefts. At the time of the arrest, the vehicle was being followed by Catalan police, who have been investigating thefts of endoscopy equipment for months. In the last six months there have been 11 similar thefts at hospitals in Catalonia, Aragon, Valencia and Navarre. Hospital surveillance
footage and records of post office shipments to Latin America led the investigators to these four individuals, who are believed to have been planning similar actions in Basque hospitals. Police believe the stolen goods were being sold on the Colombian black market for significantly less than they are worth. The price of a standard probe in Spain is upwards of €20,000, but it was being sold in Colombia for €600 to €800, the police said.
Hospital managers suspect that the thieves cased the premises ahead of the thefts, since they seemed to know exactly where to go. On several occasions they managed to access restricted areas without forcing any doors or showing any ID. Endoscopy equipment comes with ID numbers that facilitate repair, and makes it very hard for items to be stolen and reused at another Spanish health centre.
Age of consent to be raised The government plans to raise the age of consent from 13 to 16 and the minimum age for marriage from 14 to 16. Adults who have sex with underage children now face from two to six years in prison and up to 12 years if they have performed oral or penetrative anal sex. An exception is made in the case of consensual sex with someone under 16
"when the other party is of a similar age or stage of development and maturity" – a loose concept judges will define on a case-by-case basis.
Raising the age to 16 brings Spain into line with the UK, Russia, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium. It is 14 in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Portugal and 18 in Turkey
and Malta. Teenage marriage is rare in Spain – only four boys and 64 girls under 17 married in 2010.
However, a national survey carried out two years ago showed that three quarters of the women born since 1971 had lost their virginity before they were 20, nearly twice as many as their mothers' generation. The rate of teenage
pregnancy is low, but a report on sexual health published last week showed that all forms of sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise.
Currently, all children receive sex education classes in the last year of primary school, when they are 11, but under the new education law sex education will be removed from the curriculum.

Socialist resigns over spying case
The former organisation secretary of the PSc, the catalan branch of the main opposition Socialist Party, José Zaragoza, resigned from the party's federal executive committee last week after a police report concluded that he had paid a private detective agency to find out where a town mayor from the Partido Popular (PP) lived. Socialist sources said Zaragoza has stepped down “until his participation” in the alleged probe he ordered the Método 3 agency to carry out against badalona Mayor Xavier García albiol “is clarified.” He will keep his seat in Parliament. Zaragoza’s resignation came after remarks by Socialist leader alfredo Pérez rubalcaba, who said he found spying for political reasons “repugnant,” adding that if the PSc had contracted the services of a private detective agency for this purpose, it “would have to take decisions”.

World News UN 'should reopen Hammarskjold death’
A commission looking into the death of former United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold has recommended that the UN reopen its investigation.
Mr Hammarskjold's plane was travelling to Congo on a peace mission in 1961 when it crashed on September 18th in a forest near Ndola in Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. All but one of the passengers and crew on the flight were killed.
A UN investigation in 1962 failed to find the cause of the mysterious crash. The commission said there were significant
new findings, and that the US National Security Agency might hold crucial evidence. Three investigations have failed to determine the cause of the crash, and many conspiracy theories have swirled around Mr Hammarskjold's death. Two investigations held in the British-run Central African Federation, which included Northern Rhodesia, were followed by
an official UN inquiry which concluded that foul play could not be ruled out. The commission's report said that given the NSA's worldwide monitoring activities at that time, "it is highly likely" that the radio traffic on September 18th19th 1961 was recorded by the NSA and possibly also by the CIA. The report said: "Authenticated recordings
of any such cockpit narrative or radio messages, if located, would furnish potentially conclusive evidence of what happened to the DC6."
The commission said it had made Freedom of Information Act requests to the National Security Archive, which were rejected on national security grounds – but that an appeal had been lodged.
Toyota repeats US Right wins vehicle recall Norway election
Toyota is recalling 780,584 vehicles in the US for a second time to address a suspension defect that may not have been fixed after a recall last year.
The rear suspension arm in affected vehicles may rust, leading to eventual failure, if nuts are not tightened properly during service, which the US safety watchdog said could "cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash". The models affected are the RAV4 sport utility
vehicle and the Lexus HS 250h. The RAV4 models covered by the recall were manufactured between 2006 and 2011, and the Lexus vehicles affected are the ones made between October 2005 and September 2010.
Toyota first recalled the vehicles in August last year to carry out repairs on the affected parts. The recall comes just as Toyota has been trying to rebuild its image after a spate of recalls due to safety concerns in the past few years.
Centre-right leader Erna Solberg, who is set to form a new government, described her win as "a historic election victory for the right-wing parties". Her Conservative Party is widely expected to form a government with the antiimmigration Progress Party.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he would step down after presenting the budget next month. The Labour leader – prime minister since 2005 – said his party tried "to do what almost no-one has done, to
win three elections in a row".
Ms Solberg, 52, will become Norway's second female prime minister and its first Conservative prime minister since 1990. The vote was Norway's first general election since the attacks by Breivik – a far-right extremist – killed 77 people at a Labour Party youth camp in 2011. Breivik had previously been a member of the Progress Party.

The gold miners' strike ended after workers at Harmony Gold accepted a final wage offer, although most of the 80,000 miners across the sector who started striking earlier this week had already accepted an 8% pay offer and returned to work. The miners' union had been demanding a 60% rise. Employers had offered 6% – the same as the inflation rate.
Mine owners had warned that a long strike could lead to gold mines closing and thousands of jobs being lost, following a fall in the price of gold. They said their production costs have increased as they have had to dig ever deeper to extract gold. for many years, South Africa was by far the world's largest gold producer but it is now the fifth biggest, with just 6% of world production. indiA
Army deployed after clashes
A total of 800 troops were deployed in Muzaffarnagar in northern Uttar Pradesh state after 28 people were killed in religious clashes. Several villages are under curfew after violence between Hindus and Muslims. Officials said the death toll is likely to rise as more than 50 people were injured in the rioting. The clashes were sparked by the killing of three men after they protested against the alleged harassment of a local woman. Uttar Pradesh experienced some of the worst religious clashes in india after a Hindu mob razed a 16th Century Babri Mosque in the holy city of Ayodhya in 1992, prompting nationwide rioting between Hindus and Muslims in which more than 2,000 people died. india has seen a rise in religious violence this year with 451 incidents reported so far compared to 410 for all of 2012.

Campaign to kill stray dogs
Hundreds of Romanians have demonstrated in support of a plan to kill stray dogs in the capital after a pack of dogs mauled a fouryear-old boy to death. Bucharest Mayor Sorin Oprescu says a referendum will be held on 6th October asking residents if they agree with "euthanasia" for stray dogs. The city is reckoned to have about 65,000 stray dogs. Animal welfare officials say about 1,100 people were bitten by stray dogs in Bucharest in the first four months of this year. More than 6,500 stray dogs were sterilised in Bucharest last year, but animal welfare groups say they need help from the authorities to make a real impact on the problem.

Man survives 4 month ordeal
A Uruguayan man who went missing in May while trying to cross the Andes Chilean opposition leader Michelle Bachelet has called for a full investigation mountains from Chile to Argentina has of the human rights abuses committed during General Augusto Pinochet's been found alive.
17-year rule, as she led a ceremony to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought the general to power. The opposition boycotted an official ceremony to mark the coup. At that ceremony, centre-right President Sebastian Pinera criticised the "violent coup", but said it was "the predictable outcome" after "repeated violations of the rule of law" under the government of socialist President Salvador Allende.
The event, at the presidential palace in Santiago, was attended by Ms Bachelet's rival in November's presidential election, Evelyn Matthei. During the opposition ceremony held earlier, Ms Bachelet dismissed the view that Chile was on the verge of a civil war in 1973. "It is fair to say there was a lack of dialogue and a polarisation of the politics
then. But it is unfair to say that the military coup was inevitable," she said.
More than 3,000 people are estimated to have been killed during General Pinochet's government, which came into power on September 11th 1973. Mr Allende committed suicide inside the presidential palace after it was encircled by troops and bombed by Chilean air force planes.
According to official figures, some 40,000 people were victims of human rights abuses, including Ms Bachelet and her mother, who were tortured before going into exile. She returned to Chile after the end of General Pinochet's rule and was elected the

On the same day four men were found guilty of the fatal gang rape of a medical student in the Indian capital Delhi last December, a UN report looking at violence against women in parts of Asia showed that almost a quarter of men surveyed admitted to committing at least one rape.
Ten thousand men from six countries took part in the survey – the first multi-country study to examine how widespread violence against women is and the reasons behind it. Of those who admitted rape, just under half said they had done so more than once. The prevalence of rape varied between countries. In Papua New Guinea, more than six out of 10 men surveyed admitted forcing a woman to have sex. in
It was least common urban areas of
Bangladesh, where it was just under one in 10 and Sri Lanka where it was just over one in 10.
In Cambodia, China and Indonesia it ranged from one in five to almost half of all men surveyed. Nearly three quarters of those who committed rape said they did so for reasons of "sexual entitlement", report author Dr Emma Fulu said. "They believed they had the right to have sex with the woman regardless of consent," she said, adding that the second most common motivation reported was to rape "for fun or because they were bored". That was followed by using rape as a form of punishment or because the man was angry. "Perhaps surprisingly, the least common motivation was alcohol." said Dr Fulu.
Raul Fernando Gomez Circunegui, 58, got lost in snowstorms after his motorbike broke down. He was found in a mountain shelter at an altitude of more than 2,800m by Argentine officials from the province of San Juan who had arrived in the area by helicopter to record snow levels.
Mr Gomez survived by eating leftover supplies in the shelter and whatever else he could catch, including rats. He has been taken to hospital in an emaciated and dehydrated state, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Lloyds is transferring over 4.5 million customers to the revived TSB and the new operation will have 8,000 members of staff. There will be offices in Birmingham, Gloucester, Edinburgh, London and Bristol and call centres at
four locations nationwide.
It is being touted as a completely clean bank, untainted by claims over mis-selling of payment protection and complex interest rate swap products, and free of toxic assets received by Lloyds on the acquisition of other banking businesses.
Lloyds Banking Group remains 39 per cent stateowned and it has been compelled to spin off the branches to meet European Union rules on
state aid.
The move is the latest step on the road to recovery for Lloyds, which said last month that it was ready for the Government to consider the sale of its stake in the bank, which has posted half-year profits of over £2 billion. Lloyds plans to float the TSB business next year. For the time being it will offer the same products as its parent, with new deals expected later.
New vacuum cleaner One of Britain’s most enduring business success stories in modern times has been the progress of Sir James Dyson’s vacuum cleaner firm, which is recruiting key staff for future research and development. The man with big ideas who was originally shunned by other vacuum
cleaner manufacturers is now about to introduce the first vacuum cleaner with no bag, no loss of suction and a filter that never needs changing. I don’t pretend to understand it, but I am told the cleaner uses cyclones that are so efficient that the filter never needs washing or replacing. The new model has been on show in Berlin
and will be on sale in Europe from October.
Founded in 1993, Dyson employs a workforce of 4,500 people and sells its products in 67 countries. It also manufactures air multiplier fans, heaters and hand driers. The company is owned by Sir James and his family.

It would appear Britain has a fiercely patriotic Prime Minister in David Cameron. When it was suggested at the G20 summit in St Petersburg that Britain was a small island whose views could be ignored he struck hard.
“Britain is an island that has helped clear the European continent of fascism and was resolute in doing that throughout World War Two. Britain is an island that helped abolish slavery, that invented most of the things worth inventing, including every sport currently played around
the world, that still today is responsible for art, literature and music that delights the entire world. We are very proud of everything we do as a small island – a small island that has the sixthlargest economy, the fourth best funded military, some of the most effective diplomats, the proudest history, one of the best records for art and literature and contribution to philosophy and world civilisation.”
It appears someone touched a nerve. Mr Putin’s spokesman was quick to say it wasn’t him. Can’t say I blame him!

Doctors must be able to speak English
Britain is likely to introduce new measures to test the English language skills of doctors arriving in the UK from Europe. At present European Union rules prevent the testing of doctors for competency in English.
Changes would mean General Medical Council inspectors could flag up any concerns prompting the full testing of language skills.
While the Government recognises the huge contribution made by overseas doctors, it is clear tougher checks are needed, according to Health Minister Dan Poulter.

GPs fail elderly Ed Milliband 100 vehicle faces the TUC pile-up on new It’s not been a good month for Labour Leader Ed Milliband. His plans to reform the links between the Labour Party and the country’s Unions has infuriated the Unions who say that he is living “in cloud cuckoo land”. Mr Milliband talking at the TUC conference has said that ending the automatic affiliation of union members from all walks of life to his party will be a “massive challenge” but is insisting that the rules as they stand cannot continue. But critics have warned Labour faces financial
meltdown because of the changes, which have already seen the GMB Union slash its funding by more than £1m. Many Union members, especially those in ‘closed shop’ working environments – where you have to join the union to get the job – say they had no idea that part of their Union subs were paid to the Labour Party and that they automatically became members of the party.
Mr Miliband told the conference: "Your members are the backbone of Britain and let's not forget it friends."
Dance if you want a job Selling TVs is one thing but university graduate Alan Bacon, aged just 21, says he felt “degraded and humiliated” when electrical giant Currys insisted he and the nine other candidates dance to Daft Punk’s Around The World after short introductions during an interview for a job at their Cardiff store.
Mr Bacon who studied documentary film and television at Newport University had spent hours polishing up on his knowledge of the products and gadgets the store sold and was looking forward to showing off his weeklong study. He says he is a self-confessed “massive
nerd” and had really been looking forward to the potential of a job with the electronics chain. He had applied for 300 jobs but the Curry’s one particularly appealed to his interests.
The firm has launched an investigation saying that the interviews were not carried out to their specific recruitment procedures to ensure that they “attract, inspire and retain the right sort of people” and has invited all the candidates back for another interview where they will have a "proper opportunity to demonstrate how they can contribute to our business".

Sheppey bridge Last Friday at around 7:15am saw what was described as a horrific pileup of 100 cars, lorries and vans on the new Sheppey bridge in Kent, south of England where dense fog had left visibility down to 20 yards in places.
Miraculously, no-one was killed – although six people were seriously injured while 200 suffered minor injuries – and the walls at the edges of the bridge held up. The bridge carries the A249 road across The Swale (a strait in the North Sea), linking the Isle of Sheppey with mainland of Kent. The four-lane crossing measures 21.5m (71 feet) in width, at a height of 35m (115 feet) over the water.
One witness said: 'You would hear the screeching of brakes and then a thud. It was all you could hear for about 10 minutes – crash after crash after crash.'
Witness Martin Stammers, 45, from Minster, said: “The whole top of the bridge is full of mangled cars and lorries. There are cars with their roofs ripped off – one is five feet in the air. There were a lot of people trapped. We managed to stop safely in time before the accident, but if we'd have been 10 seconds earlier we'd have been involved.' Mr Stammers said he and his son James then ran to the other side of the carriageway and signalled to people to slow down.
Have smaller families Sir David Attenborough, 87, has said that he believes human beings should cut down on the number of children they have, adding that mankind has stopped natural selection, as proposed by Darwin, since it has been able to rear 95 to 99% of babies that are born, thereby stopping human evolution – the only species to have achieved this.
The naturalist who is presenting his “Rise Of The Animals” programme, a two-part documentary on the ascent of man on BBC2 added that he is not optimistic about the future of mankind although he
doesn’t believe humans would become extinct.
He said of the one child policy in China that it was the degree to which it has been enforced that was the problem and not the policy itself and that it has “produced all kinds of personal tragedies” for the people of China adding that he believes people must be persuaded to not produce large families. According to statistics from the United Nations in 1950 there were an estimated 2.5 billion people on the planet. That figure had soared to 6.9 billion by 2010.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has condemned the Health Service in the UK for failing to look after the elderly who are reported to be finding it easier to go along to the A&E departments of their local hospitals rather than getting an appointment with their own GP. He says that he wants patients to register with a specific GP. It was the practice in the past that you had your “own” doctor who would look after their healthcare rather than seeing numerous doctors who may fail to spot signs of changes in people’s conditions. GPs worked longer hours in the surgery and, after surgery hours if you needed a home visit, you could expect to see the doctor you were registered with and used to rather than a costly locum whom you had never set eyes on before. Mr Hunt blamed the GP contract agreed by Labour in 2004 for abolishing the idea of having a specific GP for every patient. "Evidence from the United States and other countries is that when you have a named GP you are less likely to need hospital care and we need to bring that back, particularly for our vulnerable, older people. We want to do that from next year," he said. He
admitted
there
would be a need for many more GPs to achieve the change, putting the initial figure at 2,000 but added: "We are looking actually at whether we need even more than that," and also said more NHS cash would have to be spent outside hospitals.
This will be music to the ears of struggling A&E departments across the country who are constantly having to battle with the number of patients turning up at the emergency departments with complaints that could easily have been resolved by their GP. An A&E Department would not automatically know a patient’s full history, unlike their GP and, in the case of an elderly or confused patient, could be potentially dangerous as in the case of an elderly patient recalled by Jeremy Hunt in an interview where he said: "Confused and unable to speak after a fall, that A&E department was probably the worst place for her."
He went on to point out that staff did not know her medical history, her allergies and whether her lack of speech was normal or caused by the fall. He added: "Her experience proved what many of us know in our gut – too many old people feel there's no reliable alternative to hospital."

New premier vows 'Adopt-a-student' to fight corruption scheme floated Newly elected Junta de Andalucia premier Susana Diaz vowed once more last week to focus on fighting corruption "on all fronts," "with all her strength" and "tirelessly." Díaz, 39, who is the first woman to hold that post, added that when she meets with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy she will propose "a pact for political regeneration" in the entire country, not just Andalusia. "I am ashamed of corruption and I reject both connivance with it and lack of enthusiasm in fighting it," she said at the onset of her one-hour speech in the Andalusian assembly.
Díaz is seeking to distance herself from the administration of former premier José Antonio Griñán, who left halfway through his second term to save the Socialist government the "erosion" caused by the ERE case which involves millions of euros in regional subsidies for struggling companies that were often allotted to ineligible candidates.
Faced with escalating tuition fees and stricter requirements for obtaining grants, some public universities are coming up with creative ways of fundraising. One idea under consideration is an "adopt-a-student" scheme that would seek donations from companies and individuals to sponsor a college education for struggling learners.
Junta de Andalucia’s new premier Susana Díaz
Around 20 government officials are being investigated for illegally handing out subsidies to ineligible people and companies known as "intrusos" (intruders).
Some analysts believe that Griñán, who was economy commissioner when the subsidies were handed out, may be next in line for a court investigation. Some of the measures suggested by Díaz – who Griñán handpicked to replace him – include obliging the
spouses of all elected officials in Andalusia to make their tax filings public. She admitted, however, that there is no legal precedent for this and that the initiative would depend on the willingness of politicians and their partners. This is in fact not the first time that the idea has been aired, but so far it has never been implemented by either the Socialists or the Partido Popular.
Málaga University's president, Adelaida de la Calle, said her institution will propose creating a fund for this type of donation, noting that enrolment has gone down. "Just as you can sponsor a child, people could sponsor a student by paying their fees."
According to one survey, at least 30,000 university students in arrears (2.3 per cent of the total) are on the verge of
being kicked out. While university leaders are trying to offer formulas such as payment in instalments, they are increasingly turning to private initiatives for support. José Carrillo, president of Madrid's Complutense, called the sponsorship idea "a positive initiative" but there is some fear in university circles about shifting the burden of
funding to the private sector.
Xavier Grau, president of Universidad Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, says "donations are positive in some cases and situations, but the ordinary functioning of the university cannot depend on them. It's a very subtle line that we should not cross."
Next charity auction Socialist asks forgiveness for the animals for ERE scandal The Socialist MP for Guipúzcoa, Odón Elorza, believes the time has come for Socialists to ask the people of Andalusia to forgive them for the ERE scandal. The former mayor of San Sebastian wrote on
Twitter: "I ask the Andalusians for forgiveness as a Socialist". He said the Socialists have the ethical obligation to ask forgiveness for their political responsibility in the matter, although it is up to the judge investigating the case to
decide who is guilty.
He acknowledged that his fellow Socialists might not agree with him, saying they had not backed him in the past when he had asked for forgiveness in other Socialist corruption scandals.

Cameron sends special message to Gibraltar In a video message to the people of Gibraltar on National Day (September 10th), Prime Minister David Cameron praised the "enormous dignity" shown by Gibraltar during months of pressure from Spain and said The Rock's relationship with Britain was "solid, sure and enduring". He said his government and the people of Britain "stand with you now" and he called on Spain to end the "unacceptable border delays". Mr Cameron said: "Gibraltar has been British for 300 years. Let's keep it that way."
Gib's National Day commemorates the day in 1967 when the British Overseas Territory held its first referendum on British citizenship. In his message, Mr Cameron stressed that there would be no attempt to even discuss the transfer of sovereignty again without the consent of Gibraltarians. He said: "Britain and Gibraltar have a long and proud history. For 300 years we have stood together, as one with our shared sovereign. Today your flag flies over the Foreign Office in London."
"On this Gibraltar National Day, the British Government wholeheartedly supports your right to determine your political future. As I have said before, we will never agree to any transfer of sovereignty – or even start a process of negotiation of sovereignty – without your consent. And I wouldn't want us ever to go down that route." Mr Cameron also reflected on the close links between Gibraltar and

British woman arrested
A British woman was arrested in la linea last Friday after she crashed in a car stashed with cigarettes following a high-speed chase through the town. The woman, who was not named but was said to be resident in Gibraltar, allegedly drove off and nearly hit a Guardia Civil officer when she was ordered to stop as she exited the border. She was followed and arrested a short time later. Officers found the equivalent of 250 cartons of cigarettes hidden in her BMW vehicle. The woman now faces criminal charges relating to the chase and her failure to stop, as well as administrative proceedings for the tobacco. it was the second incident of its kind in the space of a week and the third this summer. earlier this week a Guardia Civil officer was hit by a man on a moped as he sped from the car park close to the border loop, where he had collected a bag filled with tobacco that had been hurled over the frontier fence. The man, believed to be Spanish, crashed and fled on foot, abandoning the motorbike and 385 packets of cigarettes.

Spain. "As we celebrate today, let us all remember that Spain is our neighbour and thousands of Spanish people are welcomed by you to work in Gibraltar," he said. "I know many of you have close family and friends in Spain. The world is an unstable place; Gibraltar is not."
A cross-party delegation of British MPs were in Gibraltar to participate in its National Day celebrations. The group of MPs including Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes along with peers and MEPs were to hold a series of meetings, the Gibraltar Government said. Other MPs attending were Jim Dobbin, Jack Lopresti, Angus MacNeil, David Morris, Bob Neill, Andrew Rosindell, Alec Shelbrooke, Colonel Bob Stewart and Dame Angela Watkinson. Representatives of eight
other overseas territories, including the Falkland Islands, were also in Gibraltar for the event. Commonwealth MPs have become the latest group to back Gibraltar and criticise Spain's manoeuvring in the row over fishing rights. A motion presented to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Johannesburg by Gibraltarian minister Samantha Sacramento was passed by MPs from across the world.
The resolution adopted read: "This Assembly notes with concern the reports of continuing harassment of Gibraltar by Spain, including the creation of lengthy delays at the land frontier between the two countries, the threat of imposing air restrictions and numerous maritime incursions into Gibraltar's waters by the naval and para-military agencies of the Spanish state and considers that this political pressure on Gibraltar is totally unacceptable and that it must cease immediately." Spain imposed strict checks on traffic at the border with Gibraltar in protest at the creation of an artificial reef. European Commission inspectors are due to visit the border area later this month to assess the legality of stringent traffic
checks introduced by Madrid, which have led to queues lasting several hours for traffic crossing to and from Gibraltar.
The archive storing invoices under investigation in a corruption case involving the former Socialist Mayor of los Palacios y villafranca, Antonio Maestre, burned down last week, destroying several historical documents in the process. Before the fire began, the local Police received a call reporting a fire in a school not far from the archive to divert the fire brigade, which has led them to suspect the fire was deliberately set. The former mayor is under investigation for paying false invoices issued by a ghost company belonging to his father-in-law.

May the Lord have mercy
I
was going to devote this week's column to the Junta de Andalucia's new premier, Susana Diaz, who aroused my ire by saying she intends to be the heir (or heiress) to Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero – which is exactly what we don't need. And as for her vow last week to focus on fighting corruption "on all fronts," "with all her strength" and "tirelessly" – well, as you can imagine, that had me rolling on the floor in hysterics.
B
ut to my great delight, Judge Mercedes Alaya who is investigating the ERE scandal which involves millions of euros in regional subsidies for struggling companies that were often allotted to ineligible candidates, this very day has named former Junta premiers Manuel Chaves and José Antonio Griñán as "imputados" in the case. This is a word which gives English speakers much grief because it's very vague. At this stage in the game, Judge Alaya is merely saying they're involved in some way and that she needs to question them. However, they both enjoy parliamentary immunity so she can probably go no further than questioning them. But I'm sure the press hounds will make sure that the dirt hits the fan.
A
ll this is both good news and bad news for Andalucia. On the one hand, it looks as if this judge has the guts to expose what amounts to more than 30 years of corrupt Socialist government – or should I say dictatorship. On the other hand, it could lead to an early election which is not going to change anything. The Socialists probably won't get a majority but they can rely on the Communist-dominated United Left (Izquierda Unida, IU) to form a coalition to keep them in power.
S
o we'd have a Zapatero wannabe on the one hand and a party – the IU – whose regional leader said a few weeks back that his dream was to implant Hugo Chavez's 21st Socialist revolution in Andalusia. As the Spaniards are wont to say "que
www.thenewsonline.es
Dios nos coja confesados" – (literally, may we have confessed our sins before dying, or more prosaically, may the Lord have mercy on us).
B
ut to look at this mess more positively, it could force the Socialists to stop carping on about Luis Barcenas – the former PP treasurer who salted away a paltry 40-odd million in Swiss bank accounts and other tax havens – while they try to explain how the Andalusian Socialists blithely handed out hundreds of thousands of euros to their cronies over the past three decades. The ERE scandal, which only dates back about ten years, has been described as the biggest corruption scandal in recent Spanish history but it's just the latest in a series of rip-offs going back to when the Socialists first took power here.

suspect Mariano Rajoy will be sleeping more easily at night now, although I suspect the old fox has known all along that the ERE scandal would knock Barcenas out of the headlines.
I
now have the unenviable task of trying to explain the ERE scandal to our readers. Que Dios me coja confesda!

Dunkirk spirit
knew Rafa Nadal was going to beat Djokovic. He's been on a roll ever since he recovered from his knee injury but this Sunday he had to defend Spain's honour – the Olympic Games fiasco was just too humiliating so he had to go out there and beat the what's it out of somebody. And he did. I suspect the rest of Spain's sportsmen and women are going to be driven by the same Dunkirk spirit – you've been beaten, go away lick your wounds a little then come back fighting like all the devils from Hell.
T
he nicest thing was that Queen Sofia was there to cheer him. What a lovely lady.

Problem child Writes for the English language version of
O
nce again Fabian Picardo, the chief minister of the British colony of Gibraltar, is showing us how much of a bad boy he can be. His foaming-mouth oratory last week only went to defeat his own purpose to join in as “a voice” in future talks with Spain and Britain regarding the problems taking place in the Strait and at the border crossing at La Linea. Picardo, a radical within the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party, accused Spain of instigating a “prewar environment” and even went as far as saying that Prime Minister David Cameron had no say-so in Gibraltar’s decision to dump tonnes of spiked concrete blocks in the sea to ward off Spanish fishing trawlers.
I
t is time for Cameron to put a muzzle on this chief minister, if he hasn't already; Picardo’s Thursday night outburst on SER radio network was completely out of line and uncalled for. At the G20 Summit in St. Petersburg, Cameron met with Rajoy to discuss the Gibraltar issue. Although it was evident that no formal agreement was reached, not even a small step to initiate talks, Rajoy said that an “ad hoc” dialogue must be held soon. But it appears neither side is budging at this time.
P
icardo meanwhile has been overreacting to comments made before Parliament by Foreign Minister Jose Margallo who said the Gibraltar issue was a top national priority for Spain. As we know, Picardo has ordered the dumping of dozens of spiked cement blocks around the colony in an effort to create an artificial reef to prevent Andalusian fishermen from trawling the waters – a big environmental issue for Gibraltar, he says. But the maritime boundaries have never been recognised by Spanish authorities, and how these blocks will affect the underwater life is still uncertain.
A
t the same time, there is a growing sneaky suspicion among politicians from different parties in Madrid that the real purpose of these blocks is to serve as a future seabed foundation so that the colony can begin to expand its territory further out into the Strait.
N
ot all officials within the GSLP agree with Picardo’s firebrand offensive against Spain. The chief minister, who no doubt feels left out because Rajoy and Cameron held talks in St. Petersburg without him (and they should continue without him), has begun to show his true sectarian colours and, as we have
learned from past history, those individuals quickly lose credibility on the world stage. Picardo was elected to administer a colony, not dictate foreign policy. By their own Constitution, Gibraltarians must rely on Britain, which has always had their best interests at heart, to protect their status quo and conduct international affairs. It is time for Cameron to rein in his chief minister before this radical continues to chip away at the bedrock of BritishHispanic bilateral relations and, more importantly, before he really starts to anger Spaniards who, at this latest juncture, are not amused by his belligerent manners.
I
Agony of defeat
t was painful loss but at the same time a blessing in disguise. Madrid’s elimination in the first round on Saturday by the International Olympic Committee to host the 2020 games was a devastating blow to all Spaniards who were overly confident that this third bid would have been the charm. Unfortunately, Madrid officials have for the first time publicly accepted that the vote among the nearly 100member IOC body has to do a lot more with politics and money rather whether a city is adequately prepared to host the games. Outside influences, such as big time sponsors, Addidas and Puma, greatly weighed in. They can get more money selling their products with financial backers from Japan rather in Madrid. Plus the transmission rights sided heavily in favour of Tokyo with first class Japanese broadcaster NHK pitted against our own flagging RTVE. But on the other hand, this entire procedure served to remind Spanish officials that the whole world is watching when it comes to the way justice is handed down in this country. The doping issue was brought to the forefront when IOC delegate Adam Pengilly, from the UK, asked about the Operation Puerto investigation – the seven-year inquiry into the steroid use by Spanish athletes that resulted in slaps on the hands for those involved – and the destruction of blood samples that had been held as evidence in the case. Spanish officials got an awful and embarrassing reminder of the inadequacies of their archaic judicature.

El Jabali -The Wild Boar
A motorist on the way down from Mijas to Fuengirola collided with a wild boar crossing the road around 8.00 am last Friday morning. The boar, an adult female, died as a result of the accident and the car sustained front end damage but remained drivable. Members of the Guardia Civil attended the incident and there was some disturbance to the morning traffic. The wild boar or El Jabali situation in Spain is controversial. Since the 1950s there has been a steady increase in the number of wild boars throughout Europe and especially so in southern Spain which has its own sub species of wild boar, the Iberian Wild Boar. (Sus scrofa baeticus).
Wild boars usually weigh between 50 and 90 kg, and can be between knee and waist high to a human. By nature they are highly sociable, intelligent, nocturnal, omnivorous scavengers – meaning they like to roam and feed from twilight on whilst engaging in witty chit-grunt with their mates. They will eat just about anything going and they like nothing more than a wet muddy patch to wallow in. Wild boars can be either true wild boars or, as is more often the case it seems, a mixture of wild boar and feral pig. This interbreeding is thought by some to be responsible for the increase in their presence closer to urban environments, which presents a real problem for local farmers, urbanizations, home owners and golf courses – to the extent that some
see them as a plague.
The wild boars, which usually forage in packs or more correctly “herds or sounders”, can do considerable damage to crops and lawns, ruining months of hard work in a single night. They turn over large areas of land as efficiently as any rotavator as they search for food, often damaging more than they eat. Anyone affected by this nocturnal activity can contact their town hall for help – which may, or may not be forthcoming.
Wild boars are timid by nature and, like most wild animals, readily avoid any contact with humans. But be warned – when provoked or cornered, wild boars will attack. Both male and female are strong, quick-footed wild animals, they will charge and then butt, which could either be real or a bluff. If it is real it will hurt! The male uses his tusks in an upward ripping motion, inflicting damage to the lower body and legs and the sow – especially if separated from her young – will bite ferociously tearing away flesh.
The wild boar is not a protected species and has suffered greatly at the
hands of man for sport: shot at, trapped, chased by hunting dogs and pursued by men on horseback or elephant as they engaged in the ancient and noble sport of pig-sticking – a sport especially popular with the British upper classes in India during the Raj years. Surprisingly it was a great favourite with the founder of the boy
scout movement Sir Robert Baden Powell. What is perhaps more surprising is the increased, although rather quiet re-introduction of this sport into Spain, specifically on the large private and often secluded hunting estates of the central plains, where it has been a popular pastime for royals and
gentlemen for centuries. The modern day Spanish pig-sticker however must adhere strictly to the Pigstickers Club (Club de Lanceo Español) code of conduct and rules, using and carrying the threemetre-long killing lance humanely and correctly.
As in William Golding's novel The Lord of the Flies, the act of pigsticking is adrenalin rich and is said to turn boys into men. In all fairness, galloping across the open countryside with your mates on a fine horse, in hot pursuit of an agile and wily mobile target must be exhilarating but perhaps not so much fun for the pig! Although Baden Powell would have it otherwise, insisting you should try “the brutal pastime” before you judge it, with the words, "Not only is pig-sticking the most exciting and enjoyable sport for both the man and horse as well, but I really believe that the boar enjoys it too." With El Jabali literally still playing piggy in the middle, there are hot arguments on both sides of
the fence. On the one side are the animal rights activists who have only just recently enjoyed some success in their conflict with bull fighting. On the other the traditionalist, who argues that the way to bring back life into the depleted Spanish country side is through the acceptance of death and blood sports. Either way the adult brown bristly beasts are impressive to look at and the young piglets, who have front-toback chocolate and cream stripes are very cute. They are difficult to observe, although their passing is all too evident. In extreme cases of damage a cull will be organised, using hunters with rifles rather than lancers on horseback. In less extreme situations an electric fence could keep them out although a small licence “Obra minor” from the town hall may be needed. Once erected, then man and beast can live in harmony, giving strength to the phrase “As Happy as a Pig in a ... Puddle.” Pete Woodall, Woody's Los Boliches.

Community News Irish abroad have their say Irish citizens living abroad are strongly being encouraged to have their say on important political issues happening in Ireland by contributing to the website www.constitution.ie. Points of view submitted to the website will be made available to the Convention on the Constitution and the general public.
The Convention is a decision-making forum of 100 people from the whole island of Ireland. It is made up of 66 citizens, randomly selected and broadly representative of Irish society, 33 parliamentarians, nominated by their respective political parties. It also includes an elected representative from each of the political parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly invited to participate by the Irish government and an independent chairman, Tom Arnold.
Tom Arnold said,“ I would encourage all Irish citizens living outside the state to take part in our deliberations by completing the questionnaire and making a submission to the Convention. The debate can be followed live on the website during which you can engage with the Convention via Twitter (#CCVEN). The Convention looks forward to hearing from you.”
Some of the changes to the constitution covered are: • The reduction of the presidential term of office • Reduction of the voting age to 17 • Review of the Dáil electoral system • Irish citizens’ right to vote at Irish Embassies in presidential elections • Provisions for samesex marriage • Amendment to the clause on the role of women in the home and encouraging greater
participation of women in public life • Increasing the participation of women in politics • Removal of the offence of Blasphemy from the Constitution. On the 28th and 29th September, the Constitutional Convention will address the issue of giving citizens resident abroad, the right to vote in presidential elections at Irish embassies, or similar locations.
The website is in English or Gaelic – after a brief examination easy to use and informative. It aims to be a valuable source of information about the Constitution and what’s going on at the Convention and is the principal way for Irish citizens to have their say on their constitution and the proposed changes to it.

The police say New awards being “Take care on presented tomorrow in Gib the Costa” The National Police Force work hard to make Spain one of the safest countries in Europe but, in order to achieve this, visiting tourists and residents alike can help by observing these safety precautions that the police recommend:
1. Keep your belongings in sight when you are out. There have been a number of incidents at the airport where people have put their laptops in the top basket of their trolley either while collecting their hold baggage or while having a coffee and these have been stolen. It only takes a second for a thief to pick it up and be away out of sight and it could be some time until you realise what has happened – certainly enough time for them to have disappeared with it! 2. Keep hold of your handbag and protect your wallet on public transport and in crowded areas such as shops and markets, shows and performances etc. There are a lot of pickpockets just waiting for your concentration to lapse. 3. Take equal care of your camera, mobile phone, video camera etc at all times.
4. Take only the absolute essentials when you go to the pool or beach. There is no need to have all your worldly goods and cash with you – just enough to pay for the sun lounger, lunch and an icecream and drink or two. 5. If you are driving, lock any valuables out of sight. A camera on display on the seat is an open invitation to have the window broken and the camera stolen.
6. As far as possible, avoid isolated and badly lit areas at night.
7. Be aware of suspicious offers of or requests for “help”. Thieves know all the ruses to take your mind of watching what YOU are doing. Many times people have been asked for directions to somewhere and found that while they were trying to help the person, someone else had whipped in behind them and stolen their handbag out of their unlocked car. This has been particularly prevalent in supermarket carparks all over the area. And in your hotel, home or apartment:
1. Do not leave keys, money or valuables lying around, even if you have “just popped out” down to the pool or to the shop for a minute. Use the safe. 2. In communal areas such as the reception area or dining room of an hotel, restaurants, swimming pools etc., take care of your personal belongings and luggage at all times.
If your flight has been delayed or you’ve decided to get to the airport early for a quick sleep before you get onboard, check your luggage into the left luggage department. You can’t watch your stuff while you’re fast asleep and, don’t even think you’d notice a thief – you wouldn’t! And lastly, at the airport, do not leave your luggage alone while you go to the duty free, loo, etc. It could be thought of as a potential security threat and you wouldn’t want some security guard with his hands on your knickers, now would you? Or even worse, the whole lot blown to smithereens in a controlled explosion! Follow these simple rules and you should have a great time.

The magic of Luna Mora Last weekend the village of Guaro was closed to traffic as the seventeenth festival of the Moorish Moon got underway on Friday. Definitely a spectacle not to be missed, the Luna Mora is famous for the 25,000 candles which are lit at dusk throughout the streets and alleyways, on the balconies, in the doorways and up the flights of steps, creating a magical glow that illuminates the myriads of colourful stalls set up in the Moorish market. The whole village comes alive with throngs of visitors, street vendors and performers (on Friday evening there was an impressive display of dancing by circus performers on stilts). Luscious smells float through the air from the food stalls – roasted almonds, filled pita breads, barbecue meats, kebabs, sticky sweets. There is a riot of movement and colour but all in typical Spanish family style, babies in arms and pushchairs, grandparents, teenagers, couples, all rubbing shoulders and enjoying themselves with good humour. The festival runs for two consecutive weekends so is on again this coming Friday (13th) and Saturday (14th). And it is
easy to get to, despite the crowds. A very well organised coach service ferries visitors from a large car parking area just off the Coin to Alozaina road (A-7102) right up to the village itself and back for the princely sum of 1 euro, running from 6pm until 5am. The programme is as follows:
Friday 13th September •5.00pm: Moorish market in the centre of town •5.30pm: Drawing with candles (in the Workshop Marquee) •6.00pm: Candles are lit throughout the streets •6.30pm: Children’s Belly Dancing workshop (in the Workshop Marquee) •7.00pm. 9.00pm & 12.00am: Street performers •10.00pm: Adult Belly Dancing Workshop (in the Workshop Marquee) •11.00pm: Concert in
the Luna Mora Auditorium: Dorantes & Manuel Lombo
Saturday 14th •5.00pm: Moorish market in the centre of town •5.30pm: Drawing with candles (in the Workshop Marquee) •6.00pm: Candles are lit throughout the streets • 6.30pm: Children’s Belly Dancing workshop (in the Workshop Marquee) •7.00pm. 9.00pm & 12.00am: Street performers •8.30pm: Guitar concert in the San Miguel Church •11.00pm: Concert in the Luna Mora Auditorium – El Lebrijano with the Chekara Orchestra and Angeles Gabaldon For further information look at the website (available in English) www.lunamoraguaro.es

DVD NEW RELEASE
Parade's End
Release date: September 10th
Director: Susannah White Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebecca Hall
After five extraordinary episodes, the BBC/HBO mini-series produced by Mammoth Screen and written by Sir Tom Stoppard has screened in its entirety and is now available on DVD.
Moving from the demise of Edwardian England, through the horror of the First World War, and the hope for a better future, the drama tells of the love triangle between Christopher Tietjens, his adulterous wife and a young suffragette.
MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR
about time Directed by Richard Curtis Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy, Rachel McAdams, Tom Hollander
Director Curtis has over the years been the go-to man for endearing and enduring romantic comedies. Notting Hill and Four Weddings ... were well received by the critics while Love, Actually may not have got stellar write-ups but won a legion of fans who can revisit it almost weekly on the telly.
So when Curtis announced that his latest romcom was to signal his last outing as a director the pressure was on. First poser was to find a new leading man now that
Hugh Grant is, er, a little too mature.
So Curtis came up with Gleeson (son of Brendan), an utterly charming ginger-headed chap who will resonate with Potter fans as he played a Weasley brother. And the national treasure that is Bill Nighy plays his dad. So the scene is set – and the mood music from the critics has generally been one of huge approval. It’s a bit Groundhog Day. Tim (Gleeson), aged 21 and desperate to find the love of his life, receives an extraordinary New Year
gift from his dad (Nighy) ... the information that he, like all the men in his family, have the ability to travel through time. They cannot do anything serious like kill Hitler, he is informed by his dad. But they can change what has happened in their lives before to put things right.
Tim leaves his home in Cornwall to travel to London where he will study as a barrister, and of course meets Mary (McAdams). They fall in love, but a time travelling accident means that they

Director: J.J. Abrams Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organisation has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle,
Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and
Parade's End is ultimately a story of a time lost, complete with its values and symbolism, to the onward march of technology and consumerism. have never met before and Tim has to put it right. But he discovers as his life unfolds that his unusual gift cannot prevent the sorrows and ups and downs that all families have to face and it can be a blessing and a curse. Sentimental it surely is (and the time travelling premise works fine for an audience prepared to go with the flow!) but there are the usual Curtis laugh out loud moments, and the tender relationship between Tim and his father is the emotional pivot. Take a hankie!
Release date: September 10th
sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Framing the First World War makes this crystal clear, and the themes of love and the emergence of friendship through shared adversity, rather than a hunger for success and wealth, makes this both an evocation of an age long past but also one of remarkable prescience for the world as it is today.

For years, Kuklinski gains a reputation for cold blooded professionalism even as he raises a family who are kept in the dark about his true career. Unfortunately, mob politics ultimately force him to secretly work independently with the psychopathic Robert 'Mr. Freezy' Pronge. As much as Kuklinski tries to keep

This is a time when unexpected rewards can appear as long as you remain positive and patient. Things just have a way of working out in your favour even if the results may take longer than you would like. Attend to daily details and concentrate on the small print this week. Some routine may have out served you and your needs have changed; perhaps a long established habit needs evolving? You may have come across a blockage in your path in the past and now you are deliberately holding back because of your fears of the same happening again. This is a time of opportunity and you now need to use your wits and intuition to ensure that you are successful. You cannot rely upon past or old methods of doing things, it is time to carve a new path. Hold on to your dreams.
There is some jealousy in your life; perhaps others are green with envy at your prospects for progress and success. Just do the things that you want and choose to, do not worry over the pressure that you feel others want to put on you, it is your time to shine, not waste time in worrying about how others perceive you. If you feel like taking the lead then do it, trust your instincts as they will serve you well this week. Your creative powers are extremely high this week and there is no one more equipped than you to find solutions to problems or challenges that you may be facing. You could find that you are catapulted into the public eye or those in authority will take an interest in you. The thing is you really can make a difference and there are those out there that believe it too. Do not be frightened to take control of the reins. Emotions are running high and you are feeling them strongly right now, it is important that you do not act upon impulse but weigh things up. There are many temptations out there at the moment and they can cause a distraction to reason. This is a terrific time for love and romance with a spot of future travel being planned. If you are single expect someone to ring your bell and if in a relationship enjoy being pampered. Wants and desires are running so deep within you right now that you cannot wait to have an outlet to express them more fully. All of that is coming Virgo, as change is around the corner and your life is set to become extremely busy. Enjoy the calm now and use this time to get your things in order. Make sure a partner is carrying their share of the load and motivate yourself to get lots done this week.

It has been rather intense lately but there are some fun and playful times on the horizon. Others are ready to rally behind you and support your solutions and when some new facts are revealed this can cause a change in perception within and you will see things in a new light. The weekend is fantastic for social activities and you will enjoy catching up with old friends and neighbours.
Elements of the past can re-surface once more and it is important that you do not allow this to darken your hopes or dreams. Keep a level head and try not to allow the feelings and emotions to cause you to take impulsive actions that you could regret later. Do what you know is right and stand your ground even if others do not understand – they will get the greater picture soon, you are always ahead of the crowd.
Be in the now Capricorn, remain in the current moment, you can afford to be your cool, calm and collected self as even though you know there is still a lot of hard work to do, the rewards are also going to be on their way when the time is ripe. This is a great time for taking a few days and going somewhere different, spending moments with family and nurturing your relationships, this will be a revitalising force for you. Finance and the ability to earn money are featuring well as there is an indication of increase and opportunities in this area. A problem that you have been searching for a solution too could be irritating you this week, the key is to relax and not to worry, as the answer you have actually found is probably the right one even if it does seem unconventional. Give it some time and the truth will out You are a fiery fish this week and this energy will be pushing you to overcome your fear of change and take on the challenges that you face in a direct fashion. Take notice of the signs around you and make sure you use your powers of observation to give you clues. Trust your gut instinct as it is likely to be spot on. Networking proves to be profitable and ‘who you know’ as opposed to ‘what you know’ becomes invaluable.
Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!
We have friends over from the UK and the four of us tried this out at a Lebanese restaurant in Fuengirola on Saturday. Traditionally this fresh tasting salad is more herbs than bulgar wheat, and we had it with prawns and chicken – it really went so well with both.
Tabbouleh Salad Ingredients:
(Serves 4)
• • •
25g/1oz bulgar wheat 2 large, ripe vine tomatoes large bunch fresh flatleaf parsley, leaves only, washed, dried and finely chopped small bunch fresh mint leaves, washed, dried and finely chopped 1 small red onion, peeled, finely chopped
• •
• • • •
2-3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil sea salt flakes 4 ready-made flatbreads, to serve
Directions 1. Place the bulgar wheat into a small bowl and cover with 50ml/2fl oz of boiling water. Stir, then set aside for 20 minutes, or until the bulgar wheat has absorbed all of the water. 2. Cut out the green stalks from the tomatoes and make a small cross at each of the bases. Place the tomatoes into a separate bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 30 seconds, then drain away the water. 3. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the skins. Cut the tomatoes into quarters, discard the seeds and dice the flesh. Transfer the diced tomatoes to a serving bowl.
4. Add the parsley, mint and onion to the tomatoes and mix well until combined. 5. When the bulgar wheat has absorbed all of the water, fluff it using a fork until the grains are separated. Add the bulgar wheat to the tomato mixture. 6. Drizzle over the lemon juice and olive oil and season, to taste, with salt. Mix well to coat the ingredients in the liquid. To serve, divide the tabbouleh equally among four serving plates, with a grilled flatbread alongside each.
ink Amazon to take on Geek Apple and Samsung Amazon may give away own-brand smartphone for free, a report claims. According to a new report, online retail giant Amazon are considering giving away their own-brand smartphone for free in an effort to take on Apple and Samsung. The elusive Amazon own-brand smartphone is yet to be unveiled but according to a report, the company may consider giving the device away free to consumers. As we’ve already seen with the Kindle, Amazon has offered free 3G to download books and search the web (however the latter has since been capped), and as it uses the same signal technology as smartphones the prospect of a handset that could make free 3G phone calls could have potential. It might not be as straightforward as that of
course, but having already established a relationship with local network providers through its 3G Kindle service, there is every possibility the same could be done for a phone. Amazon, the company behind the e-reader Kindle, also offer a loyalty programme called Amazon Prime. It is unsure whether the consumers gifted the smartphone would have to become members of Amazon Prime in order to operate the device. Having recently added
audiobooks to its library of movies, songs, apps, games, books and more, an Amazon smartphone could have the kind of media consuming credentials to rival the iPhone, Samsung Android smartphones and Windows Phone 8 handsets.

Ask Calvin and Sue: Hair & Beauty Dear Sue,
Sometimes when I look at my skin I see moles and freckles that have not been there before. Do I need to see a doctor or as a beauty therapist are you qualified to recognise abnormalities? Sandy, Mijas Dear Sandy,
Over the years I have unfortunately seen many cases of skin cancer and if I notice any change on a client's skin I will insist they visit a doctor to have it checked out. As a rule of thumb follow the A.B.C.D.E. A. Asymmetry. If the sides of the mole or freckle are not equal, see your doctor.
B. Border. If they have rough edges, see your doctor. C. Colour. If there is a colour change, see your doctor. D. Diameter. If the
mole or freckle is larger than 6mm, see your doctor.
E. Evolving. Any change to a mole or freckle such as itching, change of colour, getting bigger, see your doctor
Any worries you may have, do consult your doctor – they won't think that you have wasted their time and it could save your life! Dear Sue,
I have a combination skin, parts of it are dry and other parts greasy. How can I even it out? Justine, Malaga Dear Justine,
There is no short answer to this. Firstly I would really like to see you face to face and have a consultation with you. I need to establish what products you are using, your diet, how often you cleanse, tone and moisturize, and where you live.

I will suggest you use the "Guinot's"cleanser and toner for all skin types and start you off with a very light moisturizer such as "Guinot's Hydra Beaute". If you use a cream that is too rich, the oily parts will get oiler, too light a cream and the dry parts will get drier. If you live in an area with hard water use bottled water as the calcium that furs up our kettles does the same damage to our skin when we wash and remove our cleanser. After a week or so

effective in creating body, but please remember that a perm can have it's disadvantages. It is a chemical process that can dry out the hair. Also if you are out and get wet or perspire the curl is going to appear, so bear in mind that often perms can make the hair harder to maintain and is not always the easier option. Try using Paul Mitchell's volumiser range, which includes a shampoo, conditioner, a volumising spray and mousse.
All these products are designed not to weigh the hair down and the hair will not have to suffer any chemical process. Dear Calvin,
I have recently lost a lot of weight through dieting but my hair seems to be suffering and is very dull and weak. Can you suggest anything to help build it back up? Violet, Fuengirola
Dear Violet,
Congratulations on the weight loss, often when dieting we starve our body of important vitamins that promote healthy hair. As the hair is made up of 70% protein it is essential to eat protein enriched foods such as low fat dairy products e.g. milk, cheese, yoghurt, eggs. Fish and lean meat are another good source of protein and also contain vitamin B12 which often women lack as they get older. Also increase your omega 3 fatty acids these are known as good fats, and will promote hair growth and shine. Change your shampoo and conditioner to ones that contain protein. If you have any questions for Calvin or Sue, you can contact them on email – Calvin, calton1@hotmail.co.uk Sue’s email address is aniathome05@gmail.com If you don’t have time to email you can phone on 633 733 374 (Calvin) or 952 473 681 (Sue).

Pink has been in and out of fashion for years in all types of clothing and in all shades
But get Kate Middleton into it
… and you know whatever she’s wearing is going to be a guaranteed sell out before you can say ebay! Whatever Kate Middleton wears these days, the shops seem to sell out of and, in the case of this pink coat, M&S had sold out even before it hit the shelves. Kate was seen at the Trooping The Colour in June in a pale pink Alexander McQueen coat.
Recently seen in pink coats apart from Kate Middleton – and they were to be seen everywhere on the catwalks at fashion shows – were Daisy Lowe and Eva Mendes. Daisy went for Moschino while Eva was seen sporting Valentino in New York.
At London Fashion Week earlier this year, John Rocha, Topshop Unique and Roksanda Ilincic all featured pink coats in melon, rose and bubblegum shades.
Critics have been quick to point out that M&S sales hadn’t been doing too well, to say the least, in recent years with their new direction and higher prices being cited as the main reasons but new style director Berlinda Earl seems to be getting it right as her collection has become one of the fastest selling at the store of all time.
The coat in question is in Blush Pink, a dusky pink shade that is very much in vogue right now, retails at £85 and, at that price appears to be a bargain that you simply must have for the coming autumn months. But be aware, there is a waiting list of over 100 people trying to get this coat and it is only available online in pastel shades right now. However, all is not lost. Zara has one and Primark’s version can be snapped up for only £32.

ITV’s “Kevin” Tamsin files Brucie “furious” not guilty for divorce Michael Le Vell, real name Michael Turner, 48 who plays mechanic Kevin Webster in ITV’s Coronation Street has been found not guilty of child sex offences including rape at his trial in Manchester. He had been charged with 12 child sex abuse charges including five of rape.
Mr Turner said thank you to the court as the verdicts were read out and his brothers and sisters sitting in the public gallery wept tears of relief as after around five hours of deliberations by the jury of four male and eight female, he was cleared of the charges. The jurors had been told that they must decide if the alleged

victim was telling the truth or set out to "quite literally destroy the life" of the accused.
Surrounded by supporters outside court, Mr Le Vell said he was "delighted" and that the verdict was a "big weight off everyone's shoulders". He added: "I might go and have a drink now." A Coronation Street spokeswoman said: "We are looking forward to meeting with Michael to discuss his return to the programme."
During the eight-day trial the "demons" in Mr Le Vell's private life were laid bare – his alcoholism and womanising while his wife battled breast cancer.

Opinion Torreblanca
Judith Shepperton I read Wickham’s World every week and was interested in her recent comment about the way people here wear their motorcycle helmets. She said that she used to own a bike so is obviously aware of the dangers of not wearing the obligatory helmet correctly and was quite right in saying that the way the youngsters seem to be wearing them back-to-front can end up in their necks being broken if they come off. The problem is that youngsters don’t think that this will ever happen to them and, if they’re going out on a hot date or to meet their mates the most important thing on earth to them at that time is whether their hair etc looks great.
I had a friend of 23 years old in the UK. She thought that doing up the chinstrap would make the helmet tighter on her head and therefore make her hair-do go flat. She came off her bike at just 5 miles per hour whilst going round the corner, clipping the kerbstone lightly as she went. That was almost twenty years ago now and she cannot move from her chest down and has been in a wheelchair ever since that fateful day. I cannot stress enough how important it is to wear your motorcycle helmet the correct way round, with the chinstrap done up, and make sure it is of the correct size for you. True, they are a little tight and
uncomfortable to start with but you soon get used to that and, at least if you come off it won’t fall off your head nor will it kill you. The laws are there to protect you and, so what if your hair doesn’t look quite as great as if you had just stepped out of a Bentley? Your hair-do doesn’t matter half as much for one or so nights as being in a wheelchair for the rest of your life will – or even worse, let’s not beat about the bush, you could die and then your friends, parents and family will wish that you had turned up safe and with mussed hair for the rest of their lives. Keep it on, do it up, and have a great life!
Stephen Weeks Alhaurin el Grande I sometimes wonder at the organisational ability of the people here in Spain. My wife and I love to go out and see shows, have dinner, watch bands etc., etc., but last weekend up in Coin there were four different events to choose from. We can only be in one place at one time so to put
all four on the same night – especially if you are trying to raise money for charity – is ludicrous. All you are doing is “watering down the pot” as you won’t get nearly as many people going along to your event as if you were the only one on Surely it makes sense to co-ordinte with the other groups to find out who’s

doing what and when? Each of the events had it’s own merit and, had they have been at different times we probably would have gone to all of them. Therefore in this one weekend, three lots missed out on some much needed cash. Fairly stupid I think you’ll agree.
Sabinillas
about? Why, the Spanish summer this year of course! We had very “iffy” weather at the start of the year so instead of a blazing hot June, we seemed to creep into summer in July so all we’ve had is about 8 -10 weeks of a summer this year.
Not that I’m complaining, I am a Northern European and, as such, naturally enjoy the cooler weather of around 70-75ºF so that I can enjoy a stroll along the prom in the comfort of a cooling breeze and really enjoy my coffee or hot choc. Roll on winter!
Terence Nell Talking of daft things as your editor was last week. How’s this for something you don’t see every day? I was in my car waiting to enter a roundabout on Sunday of last week when a scooter came round. On the front was a small child and a dog (neither were wearing a helmet). Behind them was the driver – presumable the child’s dad – who did have a helmet perched on the top of his
by email
head. Then came a bigger child squashed between him and the mother (again neither had a helmet) then there was a baby strapped to her back in a kind of papoose. It was spitting a bit with rain and the woman actually had an umbrella up! And some say the English are mad. Can anyone beat this?
Comment By Ken Campbell
How far can you see? I think some people will win a few bets with this little piece of trivia, so next time you’re in the pub ask your friends how far they can see.
W
e all know that the Earth is curved and there is a point where the sky meets the ground called the horizon – all basic stuff. But how far away is the horizon? 10 miles, 20 miles or even 30 miles away? Well its not quite so simple as it sounds. The distance to the horizon varies depending on how tall you are or how high you are standing when you see it, and provided that you have a completely clear view of it not obstructed by trees, mountains or buildings.
I
f you go to the beach and stand at the water’s edge and look directly out to sea then this is your true view of the horizon. Let’s presume that you are average height so your eye level will be 1.70 metres or 5 feet 7 inches above the water, the horizon is only 4.7km or 2.9 miles away, not very far at all!
N
ow if you were quite tall, say 2 metres or 6ft 7in, the horizon extends to 5km or 3.1 miles – quite a noticeable difference for such a short height change. But if you stood on a hill 100 metres or 330ft high then the horizon has moved to 36 km or 22 miles away. It is for this reason that the crow’s nest lookout on ships was always as high as it could possibly be.
B
ut what about looking up at the stars, how far can you see then? When we talk about distances to the stars we can’t measure them in miles or kilometres, there would be just to many millions of billions to make sense so we use light years. A light year is the distance that a beam of light travelling at 186,000 miles or 300,000km per second would travel in a year – 5.8 trillion miles.
T
he Moon is 248,000 miles away or about 1 ½ light seconds while the Sun is 93,000,000 miles away or 8.3 light minutes. We are seeing the Sun as it was almost 8 ½ minutes ago. The outer planets are even further away. Saturn is just over 1 light hour away and Neptune is over 4 light hours away but these pale into insignificance when you start looking at the stars.
O
ur nearest neighbour is actually a group of three stars in orbit around each other; the closest of the trio, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years away. Imagine this; if the Sun was a grain of sand then Alpha Centauri
would be another grain of sand about 6 miles away. There are only 12 stars that are within 10 light years of Earth. But when you look at the myriad of stars in the night sky they are still ‘really close’ on the scale of things.
W
e live inside a galaxy called the Milky Way which contains nearly 400 billion stars and is around 120,000 light years across. Its size means that we can’t see most of the stars in it because they are just too far away. If the Milky Way was just 1 metre across then each individual star that you can see with the naked eye would be in a circle just 10 millimetres across. The Orion Nebula that can easily be seen without optical aid is 1,344 light years away but it is estimated to be 24 light years across in size.
I
t has been agreed that (probably) the most distant star that can be seen also happens to be one of the brightest stars in the sky. Deneb marks the tail in the constellation of Cygnus the swan and is almost overhead now. It is thought to be 2,600 light years away and is 200,000 times brighter than the Sun.
B
ut if you live in a very dark area, away from street lights and it is a clear moonless night then you should be able to spot the Andromeda galaxy – a galaxy that is even bigger than our own Milky Way and is 4.2 million light years away. The photons of light that are reaching your eye set out from the Andromeda Galaxy almost 4 ½ million years ago. I’ll be telling you about the Andromeda Galaxy and how to find it next week.

Vettel knocks`em for six at Monza Sebastian Vettel's rivals have all but conceded the Formula One title after the German driver recorded his sixth victory of the season with a resilient performance to win the Italian Grand Prix. Vettel was forced to overcome a difficult start from pole position and gearbox trouble to beat Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.
Ferrari)," Vettel said. "The more booing we get the better we've done today. I don't blame the people to be honest, it's in their genes. They love Ferrari."
"The heartbeat was a bit higher in the car and also on the pit wall, because we didn't know what was going on," Vettel said about the gearbox problem. "I tried to pace myself a little bit more and control the gaps."
Before the race, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali gave Alonso two races – the next is Singapore in two weeks' time – to close the gap before the team switches its focus to developing next year's car. Alonso is 53 points behind Vettel with seven races to go and the Spaniard already sounds like he's given up. Lewis Hamilton is a massive 81 points back in third with only 175 available. Alonso though, drove superbly

once again from fifth on the grid. "We didn't close the gap in the championship, which is obviously the goal," Alonso said. "We don't have enough races and we don't have the speed now to win consecutive races."
Vettel locked his tyres on the first turn as the Ferrari of Felipe Massa pressured him from behind, but after that the German consolidated his advantage to beat Alonso by 5.4 seconds and Webber by 6.3.
"This is the best podium of the season, I'm very proud," Vettel said. "We had problems with the gearboxes at the end, but I was OK because I had a good cushion."
Monza is the home race for Ferrari fans and there were loud jeers when Vettel was on the podium.
"You can hear the difference when you don't win here in a red suit but it means you have done well and beaten the red men (of

Thomas Bjorn claimed his first title for two years with a play-off victory at the European Masters in Switzerland. The 42-yearold Dane had gone 47 events since his last win, in the same event, and began Sunday two shots back. Two ahead by the turn, he shot a 65 to finish 20 under, matched by overnight leader Craig Lee, the Scot adding a 67 to his course record 61 on Saturday. Bjorn birdied the first extra hole to secure his 14th title and move back into the top 50 in the world rankings.

Lewis Hamilton fought back up into the points after dropping almost to the back of the field following an early pit stop after he picked up a slow puncture. A radio problem meant that stop took place at least three laps after it should have done, and, having to make it forced him onto a different twostop strategy, one that eventually proved a distinct disadvantage.
"Obviously that's that for the championship," Hamilton said immediately after the race, he later backtracked on that statement saying, "When I got out of the car I was angry, and definitely thought that would be it. But I've been back with my engineers and I'm not going to give up."

Walker Cup 2013: USA beat GB & Ireland on Long Island The United States regained the Walker Cup with a 17-9 victory against Great Britain and Ireland on Long Island. Resuming 8-4 ahead after the opening day, they consolidated their position by sharing the morning foursomes 2-2. That left just three-and-a-half points needed from the 10 singles matches, and the contest was won when Nathan Smith held off Nathan Kimsey in match five. It was the 35th US win since the top amateurs' event began in 1922, with GB and Ireland on eight wins, and one tie.
"Everybody played so hard as a team there were no individuals here, all these guys gave their hearts and I can't say enough about them," an emotional US captain Jim
Holtgrieve said. "I think Bobby Jones and the team of 1922 are all here today and saying good things about us."
GB and Ireland counterpart Nigel Edwards admitted: "They holed out a little bit better and the short shots, the distance control, is where they did us. If some matches yesterday afternoon had gone our way down 18 it could have been a lot different but we needed to do the simple things well this week, people have to hole putts and we haven't holed
enough putts. One weekend doesn't make them bad golfers, hopefully we'll have a few available for two years' time, the ones who turn pro, I'm sure they'll learn from this."
The next edition of the Walker Cup will be played at Royal Lytham and St Annes in September 2015.
Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips A number of people have asked me how do you play Stud. Well here are the basic rules to get you started. Before the start of the Texas Hold'em boom over 10 years ago, Stud had always been the most popular poker variation in the United States. The game is played with two to eight players. Probably the biggest difference between 7 Card Stud and Texas Hold'em is that 7 Card Stud is a non-flop game. Each player gets dealt a total of seven cards, of which three are dealt face down and four are dealt face up. From these seven cards the player has to choose his best five-card combination. The hand rankings are identical to those in Hold'em; a Royal Flush is the best possible
hand and the worst hand is the high card hand (no pair). Every player starts off with getting dealt three cards; two cards face-down and one card face-up. The two face-down cards are called the 'hole cards' and the face-up card is called the 'door card'. Based on these three cards you decide whether or not you want to continue with the hand. Like in any poker variation, hand selection is extremely important in 7 Card Stud.
Antes, bring-in and betting Every player pays an ante before getting dealt any cards. In our example we are playing a 1€/2€ Stud game with a 0.10€ ante and a 0.50€ bring-in.

The three cards are dealt and the player with the lowest door card is forced to pay the bring-in of 0.50€. This player can also choose to bet 1€, which is called 'to complete'. The betting continues clockwise around the table, with players having the option to call, raise or fold. Once the betting is complete, every player left in the hand is dealt a fourth card (4th street). Now, and in all rounds still to come, the player with the highest upcards is the one who starts the betting. The minimum bets for the remainder of the hand are: 4th street: 1€ 5th, 6th & 7th street (the river) : 2€
Hand Selection Just like in any other poker variation, it is important to carefully choose your starting hands and the blinds are normally fixed or pot limit. It is not a no limit game so if you’re bluffing you have to make the story add up. If you have any questions or wish to discuss any poker related subjects please email wayne@bolsafiesta.com.

Spain misses out again on Olympics
There was understandable disappointment in Madrid on Saturday (September 7th) after the Spanish capital was eliminated following the first round of voting to find the host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics. In voting in Buenos Aires, the committee picked Tokyo over the two other contenders, Madrid and Istanbul. A large crowd watching on an outdoor video screen burst into cheers. Tokyo previously hosted the Summer Games in 1964. Japan's bid for 2020 billed the city as the safe choice -- despite radiation leaking from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Nadal wins second US Open title Tour of Britain Rafael Nadal beat world number one Novak Djokovic in a pulsating four-set final to claim his second US Open title in New York. The Spaniard, 27, held on magnificently in the third set to go on and win a gripping contest 6-2 3-6 6-4 6-1 in three hours and 21 minutes. One incredible 54-shot rally – the longest in the tournament by 20 shots – summed up a battle that thrilled the 23,000 spectators in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Nadal has now won 13 Grand Slam singles titles and moves within one of Pete Sampras in the alltime list, with Roger

Federer leading on 17. And after missing last year’s US Open during a seven-month absence with a knee injury, Nadal is now set to regain the number one ranking. “Having this success is amazing,” he said. “I never expected it. That’s life and I’m lucky to have what I’m having. “I really love the competition, I really love the sport. All my career I dreamed to be involved in matches like today. I enjoy every moment”. After two hours and 17 minutes, the world’s top two players were level at 3-3 in the third set, and it looked as though Djokovic had made the decisive move
Competition' with the first leg being played at Benavista's Green on 5th September in the cool of the evening. Benavista's team managed to give themselves a lead of 31 points but they still have to face SuperBowl on their home turf next Thursday in the second half of the tournament! A great evening was had by all the bowlers and spectators. Thanks go to
when he earned three break points at 4-4. Nadal was knocked off his feet by the force of one strike that clipped his baseline, but the irrepressible Spaniard refused to yield, coming back to hold and then launching into a return game at 5-4 to earn set point. A trademark hammer of a forehand was too much for even the elastic Djokovic to get back, and a jubilant Nadal crouched at the baseline, punching his fist, as he took a lead that had seemed hugely unlikely

only minutes earlier. The belief appeared to drain from Djokovic at that point, and as Djokovic sprayed two backhands into the tramlines to fall 5-1 behind, Nadal was showing plenty of emotions.
