At his first news conference about the Crimea crisis, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday there is no need yet to send Russian troops into Ukraine. But he added that Russia reserves the right to use "all means" to protect citizens in the east of the country.
Mr Putin said "militants" had plunged Ukraine into "chaos". He also said Ukrainian "nationalists" and "antiSemites" were roaming the streets of Kiev and other cities. If Russianspeaking people in eastern Ukraine asked for Russia's help then Moscow would
respond. "If we see this anarchy beginning in the eastern regions we reserve the right to use all means," he said. Hundreds of proRussian demonstrators have been rallying in Donetsk and other parts of eastern Ukraine, rejecting the new pro-Western leadership in Kiev.
Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Putin announced the end of massive Russian
military exercises near Ukraine's border and ordered the troops back to barracks.
Ukraine says some 16,000 Russian troops have arrived in Crimea in recent days. But Mr Putin insisted that pro-Russian "local forces of selfdefence" – not Russian troops – were responsible for taking over official buildings in Crimea. Crimea

Tensions were especially high at Belbek airbase near Sevastopol, the port city which is the base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Pro-Russian forces fired warning shots in the air, and Ukrainian troops later marched away from the base. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

WORLD Force only 'last resort' in ICKHAM’S
By Kym Wickham

k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
From next week I will be running a Cambridge 800 slimming course. My husband and I have completed the training course – yes, you are not allowed to just set yourselves up as consultants – passed with flying colours and are now able to help people change their lives. The course, I have to say, was incredibly thorough and actually quite complicated. I had heard about Cambridge diets from way back but had no idea how much research and committment to people’s health they put into their diets until I did the course. I have tried many diets and will be doing the Cambridge 800 diet myself starting today after seeing a photograph of myself at a recent dinner dance and wondering: “What on earth happened to you!” Time to get rid of all that excess weight and back into swimsuit shape for the summer! To find out more or to join in with my Cambridge 800 regime call me on 663 917 081. After having a lovely and rare day off on Friday, Saturday was spent charging around like lunatics again. A friend of mine had a very bad hit-and-run accident coming up three years ago and needed to prepare an interim report on how she’s getting on. She is in her 80s but was extremely active before some idiot hit her with his car and the doctors report for the insurance company had the cheek to say that she would have been using a zimmer frame by now because of her age anyway. How insulting! Age should not be an automatic measure for what you can and can’t do and I know plenty of 70+ people here that have a darned sight more energy than I have so, just because someone is of a certain age, take note, they’re not on the scrapheap yet! Anyway, rant over. After seeing her and sorting out the paperwork, we went off to Benalmadena to see Lee at The Windmill that has just opened. Lee used to be the chef at a restaurant up here in Coin and his food was great so, why not give it a go? Call 605563851 for info.

Mr Putin called the toppling of President Viktor Yanukovych in the capital Kiev an "anticonstitutional coup and armed seizure of power". He said the ousted leader had agreed to all of the opposition's demands and insisted that Mr Yanukovych was still the legitimate president, accusing the West of encouraging the street protests that had ousted him.
There were only three legal means to remove a president, he said: death, personal resignation or
Mr Yanukovych fled to Russia, and Mr Putin told the news conference: "I don't think he has a political future." He said Russia had helped him for "humanitarian" reasons, "otherwise he'd just have been killed".
Praise for 'refusing to rise to provocation'
The government of Ukraine should be commended "for refusing to rise to provocation" from Russia, the UK's ambassador to the UN said on Tuesday. Mr Lyall Grant said: "The world can see that Russian military
forces have taken control of the Crimean Peninsula, part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine. This action is against the expressed wishes of the legitimate Ukrainian government.
"It is a clear and unambiguous violation of the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and is a flagrant breach of international law.
"Just as we condemn the Russian Federation for its confrontational acts, we commend the government of Ukraine for refusing to rise to provocation."
Javier Bardem causes diplomatic crisis A remark by actor Javier Bardem at the presentation in Paris last week of a documentary he made about Western Saharan refugees triggered a serious diplomatic conflict between France and Morocco.
The documentary – Sons of the Clouds: The Last Colony – explores the human rights violations and the hardship experienced by people in Western Sahara, the former Spanish colony that was occupied by Morocco when Madrid pulled out in 1976. During the presentation, Bardem
said that a French ambassador in the United States had privately told him in 2011 that to France, Morocco was like "a lover you sleep with every night, whom you're not particularly in love with but must defend. In other words, we look the other way." The actor's words were published in Le Monde and other French media outlets, causing an immediate reaction by the government of Morocco.

from Paris "beyond a simple statement by the Foreign Ministry to repair the damage done by those words, whether they were falsely attributed or real". Meanwhile, several thousand people protested in Rabat in front of the French Embassy.
On Monday, French President François Hollande was forced to call Morocco’s King Mohammed VI. Bardem said on Wednesday that he regretted the way his comment had been blown out of proportion, adding that he had not revealed anything that was not in the film.

IMF gives Spain a must-do list
During her first visit to Spain as managing director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde expressed support for the government on Monday but reminded Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of structural reforms that are still pending.
Lagarde, as the star guest at the Global Forum Spain seminar held in Bilbao, welcomed the Spanish economy's return to growth after a prolonged recession, but highlighted the need for further structural adjustments to the labour market.
“Both firms and their workers need to be assured that they can reach appropriate agreements on working conditions and wages,” she said. “This is essential for jobs to be protected and created.” But she was immediately attacked for, in effect, advocating more wage cuts. Joaquín Almunia, the European
competition commissioner, who was also in Bilbao, criticised Lagarde for calling for wage cuts, which he said would be "neither sensitive, reasonable nor fair". He said: "Sacrifice has to be shared, and economists should not demand what is not viable in practice." Lagarde also insisted that public and private debt needed to be reduced. “For firms, this means helping insolvent but viable ones restructure their debts, so they can stay in business and continue to invest and hire people,” she said. “For the government, it means continuing to reduce the
Spanish journalist freed Journalist Marc Marginedas, who was kidnapped in Syria by an Islamic group linked to AlQaida in September last year, was released in Turkey last Saturday. Before leaving for Spain on Sunday, he spoke by phone to his family and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to tell them he was feeling fine and in good health despite his six months in captivity.
Marginedas, a reporter with El Periodico de Catalunya, was abducted near the city of Hama on September 4th 2013 by a group called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Two other Spanish journalists still currently being held in Syria. They are Javier Espinosa and Ricardo Garcia Vilanova.
Unemployment down Figures released by the Labour Ministry on Tuesday showed that the number of people out of work dropped by 1,949 in February, the first decrease in that month since 2007.
The number of jobless now stands at 4.81 million. Unemployment dropped in the construction, industry
and services sectors but rose in agriculture. A decrease in unemployment was registered in 12 of the country's 17 regions – especially in Aragon and Catalonia. Andalusia headed the five regions where it rose, with 9,674 more out of work. Nationwide, the number of unemployed now stands at 4,812,486.
fiscal deficit in a gradual and growth-friendly way, especially by relying more on indirect taxes.”
The third area she identified was making it easier for businesses to start up and grow, which in turn will create employment. "Making it easier for businesses to start up and grow will lift their capacity to create employment," she said. "Making domestic firms more competitive will also boost their employment and productivity."

Lagarde ended her speech by quoting from the author of Don Quixote.

Caves reopen for a day
the famous altamira caves were briefly opened to the public last week, for the first time in 12 years. Five elderly Spaniards chosen in a draw at the museo de altamira marvelled at its iceage paintings of bison, bulls and other animals. the visit, including time accessing the caves, lasted only about half an hour – allowing the group just eight minutes to admire the paintings. During the visit, dozens of sensors monitored changes in the cave's temperature and humidity, to see if more visitors can be allowed in in future. as part of the experiment, a total of 192 people will be allowed to see the paintings in weekly visits until august. taking pictures will not be allowed, nor will visitors be allowed to touch the rock. the caves – dubbed the "Sistine Chapel Ceiling of Cave art" – were closed in 2002 to protect the paintings from microbiological damage. Since then, visitors have only been able to see replica images in a museum nearby. the paintings date back 22,000 years and were discovered in 1876 by a local archaeologist and his daughter. maDriD
Government sells shares in nationalised Bankia
the government took in €1.304 billion last Friday from the sale of a 7.5 per cent stake in nationalised bank Bankia, recouping a small part of the €22.424 billion in taxpayers’ money injected into the lender to keep it afloat after it collapsed under the weight of the languishing real estate sector. the Orderly Bank restructuring Fund (FrOB), which fully owns Bankia’s parent company, sold 863.799 million Bankia shares at a price of €1.51 per share. they were sold to institutional investors through a so-called accelerated bookbuilding process. UBS, morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank acted as bookrunners for the placement. through BFa, the FrOB had a stake of 68.4 percent in Bankia prior to Friday’s sale and now owns 60.9 percent. it plans to gradually sell off further stakes in the bank this year to reduce its holding to 50.01 per cent.

Police in Spain and the UK have broken up criminal gangs who tricked people into investing in worthless shares in what they described as the biggest ever international crackdown on the fraud, which resulted in 110 arrests. Police targeted the masterminds and facilitators of the "boiler room" fraud – so-called because of the cramped conditions they work from. Detectives said the aim of the two-year investigation, codenamed Operation Rico, is to "decimate" boiler room fraud in Europe. The operation – supported by Spanish police – involved the UK's National Crime Agency and the US Secret Service. City of London Police led the raids in the UK last week while the raids in Spain – where most of the boiler rooms are believed to be based – involved 300 police

officers, 40 of them from the UK. Eighty-four arrests were made in Spain, 20 people were detained in Britain, two in the US, and four in Serbia. Police released photographs of a Ferrari and a Ford Mustang seized in Marbella, and an Aston Martin recovered in Barcelona. Police say victims have lost sums ranging from £2,000 to £500,000. Most of them are aged 40 and over, with many in their 70s and 80s. Police say some killed themselves because of the financial problems they got into.
Each boiler room network is believed to have an accountant, money launderer and lawyer, as well as people who do the "sales". These tend to be university students or travellers who speak English, including some from Scandinavia, who have answered adverts for salespeople.
LÍNEA DIRECTA THE BEST COMPANY FOR EXPATRIATES AT THE BEST PRICE Since 1998 Línea Directa – the market leader in the sale of direct car, motorbike and home insurance in Spain – has offered an exclusive telephone service entirely in English and German. This service, the first of its kind in Spain, forms part of the company’s commitment to quality and excellence, which have also made it the market leader in this business sector, due to the fact that it currently has over 63,000 foreign customers residing in Spain.
As a result, services such as purchasing a policy, making enquiries, processing claims, sending documents and 24-hour assistance can all be carried out in English or German at a time which is convenient for the customer by making just one phone call. And not only does Línea Directa offer the best, it also offers its services at the most competitive price on the market. It does this in two ways: - Price personalisation: behind each quote there is a sales professional who, via a quick questionnaire, will search for the best product and conditions to suit the customer’s personal requirements and will assess him or her according to their individual circumstances.
- Maximum competitiveness: still at the best price, this month Línea Directa is making Expats an exclusive 12x11 offer, which allows them to enjoy one year of insurance for the price of 11 months. And what is more, if the person requesting this offer already has another car insurance policy with Línea Directa, then the offer will be 12x10, which is to say two months’ free cover.

Eric B., a 20-year-old student from France who filmed himself driving a car from the passenger seat, turned himself over to the police last Thursday in La Verneda, Barcelona.
A day earlier, the police had used social networks to find out the identity of the reckless driver who posted a video of his feat
on YouTube. Police sources said that an internet user saw the video and sent them the link. The National Police then posted a message on its Twitter feed to request help identifying the driver. The 36-second video, which was pulled less than an hour after it was
uploaded, showed a blonde youth wearing sunglasses sitting in the passenger seat of a car.
The camera then reveals that the driver's seat is empty, but a few seconds later it can be seen that the young man was driving with his left hand from the passenger seat, and was even able to
overtake a truck at great speed. Police sources reported that he had most likely activated the car's cruise control, which freed him from using the pedals. Eric B. is accused of reckless driving and faces six months to two years in jail and a fine or community work.

UN urges Venezuela N to listen to protesters aUSTralia
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged the Venezuelan authorities on Monday to "listen carefully to the aspirations" of protesters and engage in dialogue with the opposition.
His comments came before a meeting of the UN's Human Rights Council in Geneva, which was also attended by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua.
Mr Jaua said Venezuela was the victim of a "psychological war" perpetrated by the media: "The propaganda carried out by some national and international media corporations conveys the wrong idea that there is widespread chaos and
indiscriminate repression against the people in our country." It was aimed, he said, at portraying Venezuela as a country that violates human rights to "justify foreign intervention".
Eighteen people have died in weeks of antigovernment demonstrations. The protests began a month ago in the western states of Tachira and Merida, when local students took to the streets to demand more
security after an alleged rape of a local woman. On February 12th, the opposition called for marches in Caracas and other cities to demand the release of all the students detained. Three people were shot dead at the end of marches in Caracas, and the deaths have led to daily protests from the opposition, with clashes becoming an almost daily occurrence.
The opposition blames the government for the violence, but also for failed

An estimated 20,000 people died during Croatia's four-year war of independence, during the breakup of Yugoslavia.
a 10-foot snake, thought to be a python, won a five-hour battle with a crocodile in northern Queensland on Sunday, wrestling it, constricting it and then finally eating it. The incident at lake Moondarra, near Mount isa, was captured on camera by local residents. The snake later brought the dead crocodile onto land and ate it. One observer said: "it was amazing – after the crocodile had died, the snake uncoiled itself, came around to the front, and started to eat the crocodile, face-first." another witness said it took the snake around 15 minutes to eat the crocodile. The snake was "definitely very full," when it finished, she said. Pythons kill their prey by tightening their coils around the animal as it breathes out. This can cause the animal to suffocate or suffer heart failure, allowing the python to swallow its prey whole. Many snakes have flexible jaws that enable them to swallow prey many times their own body size.

Security tightened after knife attack
Security has been tightened in south-west China's Kunming station following a mass knife attack on Saturday. Several men and women burst into the station, stabbing people at random, killing at least 29 people and wounding more than 130. There are at least 10 suspected attackers, with four shot dead by police at the scene.
a female suspect was detained and is receiving treatment for injuries, media reports said. Eyewitnesses said the attackers used curved swords and meat cleavers. Officials have blamed separatists from the Xinjiang region for the attack. Kunming is the capital of China's Yunnan province. On Monday, security was tight, with a heavy police presence at Kunming station and surrounding areas. Security checks at Kunming's Changshui international airport were stepped up on Sunday, and there was also a greater police presence in China's capital, Beijing, on Monday. a memorial for the victims has been set up at Kunming station's concourse.
Uganda
World Bank postpones $90m loan
The World Bank has postponed a $90m loan to Uganda over its tough anti-gay law, which allows life imprisonment as the penalty for acts of "aggravated homosexuality" and also criminalises the "promotion of homosexuality". The law has been sharply criticised by the West, with donors such as denmark and norway saying they would redirect aid away from the government to aid agencies. US Secretary of State John Kerry has called the law "atrocious".
Both he and South african nobel peace laureate desmond Tutu compared it to anti-Semitic laws in nazi germany or apartheid in South africa. World Bank officials said they wanted to guarantee the projects the loan was destined to support were not going to be adversely affected by the law. The loan was intended to boost Uganda's health services. Ugandan government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said the World Bank "should not blackmail its members". Uganda is a very conservative society, where many people oppose homosexuality.

Ahead of a bilateral meeting at the White House on Monday, President Barack Obama has warned that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu must make "tough decisions" to advance peace talks with the Palestinians.
"It is still possible to create two states, a Jewish state of Israel and a state of Palestine, with people living side-by-side in peace and security," Mr Obama said. "But it's difficult. It requires compromise on all sides." Mr Netanyahu claimed that the Palestinians had not done their part to ease tensions. He pointed to Israel's release of Palestinian prisoners, its withdrawal from Gaza, and other steps it had taken to ease tensions. "Israel has been doing its part, and I regret to say that the Palestinians
haven't," he said. He demanded that the Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama
The meeting between the two leaders came soon after Israel released statistics showing a large increase in the pace of new settlement construction in the West Bank in 2013 over the year before. About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. These settlements are
The Palestinians suspended the last round of talks in 2010 after a 10month halt on Israeli building in the West Bank expired. The White House has said it hopes to see a peace deal in place by April 29th, but there has been little sign of progress since July, when direct talks resumed after a three-year hiatus.
BP effort to halt oil spill payments rejected A US federal court has rejected BP's efforts to halt payments relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. BP disagrees with the ruling. In 2012, BP agreed to make payments to those who suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster. The explosion killed 11 workers and spilled an estimated four million barrels of oil into the gulf, making it the worst
offshore oil spill in US history. However, BP complained that the payout formula was too generous and meant that people and businesses were being paid huge sums for false claims. BP will now have to pay out billions more to businesses than it had previously thought. It initially estimated the spill settlement would cost $7.8bn (ÂŁ4.7bn), but later
revised that figure upwards to $9.2bn once the full scope of the claimants became apparent. BP has said that an adverse ruling could push that figure even higher.
So far, the settlement fund had paid out more than $3.8 billion to businesses who claimed to have been adversely impacted and another $1 billion has been approved but not yet paid.
Everest climbers 'must collect 8kg litter' Nepal's government has said all mountaineers and support staff climbing Mount Everest must bring back at least 8kg of rubbish each on their descent. The new rules will come into effect in the spring and apply to those who climb above the Everest
base camp at 17,388ft. It follows widespread concern over rubbish on and around the world's highest mountain. Everest is particularly crowded in the climbing season, which starts in April. The government already requires climbers to return all their rubbish
or risk losing a ÂŁ2,600 deposit.
An official said once they submit the rubbish to the Pollution Control Committee on their return to the Everest base camp, they will get a receipt which they will have to submit to reclaim their deposits.

London Mayor warns of radicalisation of children Mayor of London Boris Johnson has never been one to avoid controversy and he has now stated that Muslim children at risk of radicalisation by their parents should be taken away from them and put into care.

The International Airlines Group – the owner of British Airways – has moved back into profit after turning around the fortunes of the Spanish carrier Iberia. The group made an operating profit of £631 million last year. Chief Executive Willie Walsh said Iberia was making steady progress towards its profit target. The introduction of the A380 and Boeing 787 to the British Airways fleet had been an economic and environmental success. “Customers love them,” said Mr Walsh. The group has 431 aircraft in service and employs over 60,000 people. The turn-around has not been without pain as 2,500 Iberia staff took voluntary redundancy and salaries were reduced.

The costs of UK childcare
According to a report from the Family and Childcare Trust some parents are now spending more on childcare than on the average mortgage bill in the UK. Childcare costs for some families are greater than their weekly shopping bills. The report was compiled from figures given by local authorities of the cost of 25 hours and 50 hours of childcare provided by nurseries and childminders. The researchers also studied figures showing the average cost of 15 hours of childcare for after school activities, such as after-school clubs or childminders who picked children up from school. The final figures showed that if a family had one two-year-old in part-time nursery and a five-year-old in an afterschool club the total average bill came to £7,549 – higher than the average UK mortgage which the report says is £7,207. However, according to the Education and Childcare minister Elizabeth Truss, the cost of childcare in England has stabilised contrasting with rising costs in Scotland and Wales

British Telecom to make refunds
There is serious concern in Britain over the activities of larger companies which often appear to side-step their obligations to customers in their determination to make money. They include energy companies and banking institutions that have had to be rescued by taxpayers. And they also include British Telecom, a company which has a history of good customer service but which is now receiving bad publicity on a regular basis in the national press. BT has been ordered to give refunds to thousands of customers who were the victims of the firm’s directory enquiries service. Customers were kept hanging on the line at a cost of £2.40 a minute. A tribunal ruled that BT’s failures were very serious as they often affected the elderly and vulnerable. Elsewhere, Britain’s big six energy firms have been told by the regulator that they must refund former customers more than £400 million held in closed accounts. The energy companies said they always refunded the money in closed accounts where they could and were owned much larger sums by customers who have not paid their bills.

town turns out to bury Paco de Lucía The whole of Algeciras turned out last Saturday to bury its most famous son - world famous guitarist Paco de Lucia who died of a heart attack at his home in Cancun, Mexico on February 26th. He was 66. His death cast a shadow over Andalusia Day celebrations across the region on the 28th. His remains arrived in Madrid late Thursday night and were taken to the National Auditorium where his friends and admirers paid their last respects on Friday. Crown Prince Felipe was among the hundreds of people who had started queuing as early as 6 am.
The coffin was then taken to Algeciras where it arrived just after midnight on Friday and was installed in the Ayuntamiento's plenary meeting room, covered in the Spanish and Andalusian flags. People not just from the town but from all over Andalusia started paying their respects at 3 am. Shortly after noon, the funeral service was held at the Nuestra Señora de la Palma church before the coffin was carried to the town's old cemetery where his father and mother are buried. De Lucia had spent little time at his home town since he became famous more than 40 years ago but he had expressed a wish to be buried next to his parents. Mayor José Ignacio Landaluce (PP) thanked the public for the "great affection, admiration and respect" they had shown in their "last tribute to the greatest guitarist of all times" and declared two days of official mourning.
He called the musician's death an "irreparable loss for the world of culture and for Andalusia".
A very special musician
Paco de Lucia became famous for a series of flamenco albums in the 1970s, but he also crossed over into classical and jazz guitar. He also worked on films by Spanish director Carlos Saura, notably appearing in his 1983 version of Carmen, which won a UK Bafta award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1985. Paying tribute to a "very special musician", fellow Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco Pena, 71, said: "Once in a while someone comes along in a musical discipline who changes everything, who sees things that others have not seen up to that point, and Paco de Lucia was one of these people. After him, flamenco radically changed and the proof is that so many young people have taken his lead and now flamenco is full of that virtuosity."
De Lucia was born Francisco Sanchez Gomez on December 21st, 1947, the son of flamenco guitarist Antonio Sanchez, who was of Gypsy origin. He took his stage name in honour of his mother, Lucia Gomes. He started playing the guitar from the age of five. "My family grew up with the Gypsies," the guitarist was quoted as saying in a 1994 article in
Guitar Player.
"My father and all my brothers played guitar, so before I picked it up, before I could speak, I was listening. Before I started to play, I knew every rhythm of the flamenco. I knew the feeling and the meaning of the music, so when I started to play, I went directly to the sound I had in my ear." At the age of 18 he recorded his first album in Madrid. One of the great musical partnerships of his life was with the singer Camaron de la Isla, who died in 1992.
The two men recorded albums in the 1970s, which inspired a New Flamenco movement. In 2004, Paco de Lucia was awarded Spain's prestigious Asturias Prize for Art as the "most universal of flamenco artists". The jury said at the time: "His style has been a beacon for young generations and his art has made him into one of the best ambassadors of Spanish culture in the world." Among those he worked with outside Spain was British guitarist John McLaughlin.

Housing plan to generate 106,000 jobs
The Junta de Andalucia hopes to reactivate the construction sector through a plan to rehabilitate old housing which is expected to generate 106,000 jobs across the region.
More than half the 4.4 million houses and flats in the region today were built before 1981, when The Basic Building Regulation came into force which introduced energy saving requirements for the first time.
This means that more than two million dwellings use much more energy than they need to. Many of them are included in the 700,000 or so empty dwellings in the region and are difficult to sell because they need a lot of work to make them attractive to would-be buyers.

The company, which took part in the recent international Salon for beach and restaurant furniture held in Le Grande-Motte on the cote d'Azur, specialises in garden and patio furniture. it has already expanded its sales in Europe, principally to Germany, Sweden and France, based largely on its new line of do-it-yourself kits.

Shops opt for Sunday opening the
More than 120 shops have joined Malaga City Hall's attempt to encourage shops to open on Sundays and holidays when cruise ships are docked in the port.
Known as "MĂĄlaga Cruise Shops", only 20 shops had joined when the initiative was launched at the beginning of last September, a number which rose to 40 in October. A City Hall spokesman said the latest figure surpassed all expectations. He said since then the news had got around that the income of the shops taking part had risen
considerably, encouraging other stores to join.
Last year, there were 66 Sundays and holidays and 31 cruise ships in all docked at the port on those days.
This year, the shops which join the initiative will be asked to open from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm on those Sundays and holidays when cruise ships are in the port. City Hall will prepare pamphlets and maps which will be emailed to the ships 24 hours before they dock at Malaga to be made available to the holidaymakers.

Largest ever attempt to storm Ceuta Early on Tuesday morning, between 1,000 and 1,200 people launched a massive assault on the double fence separating Ceuta from Morocco but Moroccan security forces drove them back without reported incidents. This was the largest single attempt of its kind since desperate migrants first employed the tactic of rushing the border fences in Ceuta and Melilla en masse.
The Madrid government delegation in Ceuta said that this assault had involved around 90 per cent of the

total number of migrants camped out in the nearby mountains, where some remain for months or even years waiting for their chance to reach European soil.
A week earlier some 200 migrants successfully climbed the fences at Melilla, leaving another 300 on the other side. Many were wounded by the razor wire on the fences but that did not stop them from running jubilantly through the streets of the enclave.
Once they are in, the migrants know they stand a good chance of being
transferred to the mainland, where they may wait for months to be deported, although a large percentage of them manage to avoid deportation, thanks to Spain's lenient laws.
The razor wire is not a huge problem for people planning an attempt to enter Europe. Guardia Civil sources said: "The sub-Saharans, who even know the shifts and timetables of the Civil Guards, know exactly which sections have it." A government spokesman said the razor
wire had been installed in the places where the most attempts are made." But the migrants, who know exactly where it is, simply try elsewhere.

A topsy-turvey world
T
here's a notable lack of scandals in the Spanish media's headlines these days. Princess Cristina and her husband with the unpronounceable name have disappeared off the radar, as has the Partido Popular's former treasurer, Luis Barcenas. In his case, this may have something to do with the fact that the former editor of El Mundo, Pedro J Ramirez, has been temporarily silenced and the man who took over from him, Casimiro Garcia-Abadillo, doesn't seem to have it in for Mariano Rajoy. Pedro J – as he is known – really had a thing about Rajoy who apparently refused to help him out with a business venture that could have helped El Mundo financially. So he seized on Barcenas, thinking the scandal would increase the paper's circulation but it didn't. In fact it apparently had just the opposite effect. According to the online El Confidencial Digital (ECD), the paper's Italian owners told him to back off shortly before they decided to get rid of him altogether. But he'll find another outlet for his scandalmongering – he always does.
A
lso according to ECD, from which I get most of my juicy bits of gossip, there's discontent at El Pais where the journalists have been told to go easy on Mariano Rajoy and Deputy PM Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, in this case because the PM did help the paper with an economic matter. So two of the government's most persistent critics have been toned down, which makes for boring reading.
O
f course, the printed media in general is in crisis. The people who are interested in the news are buying fewer papers because they can access most of them free online. That's all well and good for those of us who are computer literate but I pity older people who still love the feel of a newspaper in their hands.
W
ith the tense situation in the Ukraine dominating the headlines and the IMF's Christine Lagarde pouring coldwater all over Mariano Rajoy's tentatively optimistic economic forecasts, the only people who seem happy – nay, jubilant – these days are the hundreds of Africans who've managed to scale the fences at the Ceuta and Melilla borders recently.
I
was astounded last Friday by scenes from Melilla where a couple of hundred Africans were
swarming triumphantly through the streets, having just scaled the enclave's vicious razor-topped fence. One chap mouthed "te quiero" at the TV camera, while another stood to attention and saluted it.
T
he Africans who had already crossed and been housed at the Immigrant Centre welcomed them with open arms and they all looked as if they they'd just won the Euromillions. What impressed me even more was how the Spaniards who work with the immigrants patted them on the back and sent them off in the direction of the overcrowded Centre. They obviously feel sorry for these people and who wouldn't? Conditions back in their native lands are so bad they're willing to risk all to find a kinder way of life. There but for the grace of God ...
B
ut to get back to Christine Lagarde. I love these highlypaid bureaucrats who go around calling for more labour reforms, which means nothing more than lower wages. The government has already made it possible for companies to impose the wages they're prepared to pay and while I concede that this made sense in the current economic climate, I ask myself – just what does Lagarde want? If wages get any lower, and they were never very high in Spain to start off with, we'll all end up paying companies for the privilege of working for them. Then again, when the economy starts picking up, will the bosses start paying better wages? Probably not, because they'll use the fear of another economic crisis to keep us all in line. All I can say is – workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains.
A
nd despite whatever Lagarde may say, things are beginning to look up on the economic front. For a long time now, I've been complaining about having too much space to fill every week. This week, I'm complaining because I have too little space! And when the ads start rolling in it's because things are looking brighter out there. If the ads keep rolling in we'll have to increase the number of pages, which means initially I'll have too much space to fill because thanks to the printer's technical set up we can only increase by eight pages at a time. It's a nowin situation!

A
few days ago on Facebook, friend and colleague Nydia Bauza posted a series of photos from a reunion that she had attended with former staff members of “El Reportero,” a Spanishlanguage newspaper that was circulated in Puerto Rico from 1980 to 1987. Its presses went silent for economic reasons (Imagine that?) as many other papers have done over the past few decades. What was wonderful about viewing these recent photos was the fact that after 30 years, more than two dozen exstaffers – some retired, others carrying on at other newspapers or on school campuses as journalism instructors – had shown up at a local eatery to laugh, remember and recall their work at a struggling daily that was trying to nudge itself into prime position in the Caribbean media market.
O
n February 28th, El País in English published its last eight-page supplement, which for 13 years had been included in the defunct International Herald Tribune (IHT) and since October in the International New York Times. It was a bittersweet closure to a project that was begun by the IHT, which for many years was Spain’s only national English-language daily. The decision was made by the The New York Times, after it also put to rest last October the historic IHT in a rebranding effort to push its own NYT name across the European and Asian continents where the Trib was circulated. Whether Europe and Asia are prepared to read more domestic stories about America and others with less continental-wide interests remains to be seen.
E
l País in English will continue to exist, but on the internet, where we have had an established presence and grown remarkably since we went live in November 2010. By the looks of it, and with El País wanting to focus their attention on expanding its internet offerings, the web is the key. It sort of reminds me when the BBC World Service and Deutsche Welle – two of Europe’s biggest broadcasters – decided years back to close down their powerful transmitters and opt for a clearer, and more efficient, way of reaching out to listeners through internet radio.
E
nglish-language media – most importantly, separate and smaller editions of a nation’s leading newspapers – should continue to grow across Europe, especially since the internet helps
make these publications accessible on demand and mostly free of charge. But funding and vision are the two major challenges facing such projects.
L
ast December, Presseurop, an adventurous website that was begun in 2009 with European Commission funding to offer translations of major newspapers stories from across Europe in different languages, closed down after the EC decided not to give any more money to the project. As Spanish columnist José Ignacio Torreblanca wrote about its closure: “Without informed public opinion, Europe cannot exist. In recent years, thanks to Presseurop, we have left behind our national mental redoubts and built a European public space.” With more voices and opinions accessible in different languages Europeans cannot understand what their continental partners are actually thinking; especially during a crisis like the economic turmoil we are slowly emerging from.
E
l Reportero, as many newspapers of its day, had no other option than to continue to pay the still-high growing costs of print. Today, of course, things have changed. On-the-go executives, students and the ordinary housewife peruse their news via the internet. However, in Spain and in other nations, the elderly gentleman can still be seen on the streets with a folded newspaper under his arm carrying home his bread loaf and bag of groceries. Those who pay for a newspaper at kiosks are the true dedicated readers.
W
hile no one held up an old copy of El Reportero – at least to remember its masthead – Nydia’s photos proved something. They demonstrated that after 30 years former staffers can still get together and recall all the good times without any of the bitterness – but perhaps, however, with some sadness – before a business decision forced their career change. At El Pais in English, some of us are leaving while some of us are staying on. But the entire staff will always remain friends for life and, of course, those after-work ventures to an Indian curry dinner down at Lavapíes will no doubt become more frequent.

Free singing course is a big hit Shutterbugs Following on from the success of the SABS (Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers) free ‘Sing Harmony in a Day’ courses in the Algarve, Madrid and Murcia, two more were held last weekend on the Costa del Sol and Costa Tropical to help swell the ranks of local SABS member choruses: New Wave in Fuengirola and Tropical Tones in Almuñecar. On Saturday, 22nd February, 28 men and women arrived at Lux Mundi in Fuengirola to take part in the first course. SABS President, Gail Grainger, started with an explanation of the
origins and technicalities of barbershop singing. This was followed by breathing exercises and some fun vocal and physical warm-ups, which soon broke the ice. Members of Spangles Ladies’ Harmony Chorus (2011 and 2013 SABS champions) were on hand for the break-out sessions to help the delegates to learn their parts for ‘Nevertheless’, the song that they would eventually perform in front of family and friends. On Sunday, 23rd February, a further 22 men and women took part in the second course in Almuñecar, gaining

knowledge about the best stance, breathing and vocal techniques to produce a good barbershop sound and performing ‘Nevertheless’ to visitors at the end of the course. As a result of the SABS initiative, New Wave and Tropical Tones have gained several new members. “The course was just what we needed to raise awareness of our unique artform” said Bruce MacNally. “There’s even talk of a new chorus forming in the Vélez Málaga area” he said. “The whole weekend has been a memorable one for us” said SABS Vice President, Lyn Baines, adding: “We were made to feel so welcome by everyone and we’d like to give special thanks to our hosts, Bob and Chris Arlan in Fuengirola and Bren and Bruce MacNally in Almuñecar, for their excellent hospitality and organisation.” If you’re interested in singing with either of the SABS mixed choruses in this area, they can be contacted by email or telephone: Fuengirola – New Wave – Call 952 560 651 Email:

Age Care on Mijas TV 340 the News
Zpvs!pvumppl!po!uif!Xpsme
Tanneke Mantle and Christine Thompson were interviewed by Karen McMahon, presenter of Mijas TV 340. Their mission was to inform the viewers of the current need for a Voluntary Welfare Team Leader, a role being undertaken by Tanneke on a temporary basis until the post is filled. Tanneke explained that Age Care was looking for someone with good interpersonal and computer skills, a native
English-speaker – some Spanish would be useful but not essential. Having lived in Spain for a while (and be familiar with the bureaucracy which can be confusing) would be useful, but again, not essential! What is essential is that they have transport as the role covers the area from Benalmadena to Marbella. The Welfare Team Leader would visit potential clients and assess their needs and then put them
in touch with the necessary support – either Age Care volunteers or professional help. Tanneke reported on a recent case where Age Care had been contacted by an English man living in Spain whose wife had suffered a severe stroke and he needed some forms completed. On visiting them, she quickly assessed their needs, completed the forms and then put them in touch with various professionals who were
able to make their lives more comfortable. He was over the moon with the support provided as he hadn’t known where to start to get help! Volunteering is very worthwhile and is easy for some to fit into their busy lives. The hours are flexible and can be from one to six hours per week. Although the post is unpaid, expenses are paid. Anyone interested in applying should email: president@agecarecosta.org.

Pets, Vets & Guests
with David The Dogman Anthropomorphism
Many of you will believe dogs have the same feelings and emotions as humans and that they understand our language. A mistaken belief, of course. Dogs are not small, fur-clad human beings. They are canines. True, they are man's best friend and companion because their natural instincts and hierarchical society blends into our own, and because they show loyalty and devotion to the hand that feeds them. Bonding between man and dog happened thousands of years ago when both man and wolf lived similar nomadic lives as hunters roaming the country to seek food. It should be noted that dogs are not pack animals! It has been proved that many of their genes are not that of a pack animal. There are no pack rules, we raise dogs as we raise children, and our dogs go to a school. We do not use the word pack, as a group of dogs is a collection – there is no hierarchy. The dog´s adaptation to our way of life was assisted and accelerated by man using selective breeding to develop the most desirable features, first to work for us and then turn them into pets. Even so, there remain of course fundamental differences between us and our dogs. To take just one example, dogs live totally in the present moment. They do not worry about the past. They do not dream about the future. They are not endowed with imagination or feel grief, hate, jealousy or greed or other emotions that bedevil our human society. They do have a high sensory ability which is often mistaken for a kind of sixth sense. They will understand that certain words like Sit, Stay, Down require the right reaction if they are to be rewarded with a tit-bit or praise. They will understand whether your tone of voice and your facial expressions are good or bad when you are talking to them, in whatever language, but they will not understand longer phrases. Another example of anthropomorphism is when we believe our dog is "sulking" when it returns home from a stay in kennels, or is grieving over the death of a member of the family. In the latter case, what it will be feeling is the loss of a higher
member of the family and the anxiety caused by no longer knowing its position in the family hierachy. It will also be confused by the vibrations of distress it picks up from the family. Once the "family" has settled down again, the dog will make a quick recovery, for it lives in the present and doesn´t mourn the past. So please do not attribute dogs with human emotions. Try, instead, to understand their simple canine minds, which are untroubled by so many of our emotions. By the way my Boy Boy is nearly human.
Anna says
I would like to come back to last week’s subject, because it is such an important one. When you start training your dog in a new place you can´t expect the same from them there as you do in dog school. For example, if you can put your dog into sit and stay and walk 10 steps away from it in class, in a new place you start with standing next to it in stay, just like you did from the beginning in class. This applies to all the different exercises you do with your dog. You also have to consider the distractions you have around you and adjust your training to this.
Nazli says
How do I get a urine sample from your cat? For cats that are litter trained, remove the litter from the box and clean the box thoroughly. Then add pieces of cotton wool or a special plastic cat litter. Confine the cat in a room (bedroom, toilet or bathroom) and leave till there is urine in the tray. Place the cotton wool full of urine in a clean container or squeeze the urine into the container. With the special litter just pour the urine into the container.
Celia says
Do you brush your cat? Many owners don’t bother. Yet brushing your cat is essential for the well being of long or semi-long haired breeds. Without brushing they will develop knots which tighten and can cause skin soreness. And even short haired cats will enjoy being gently brushed.

The first one: ‘A Journey to Egypt and the Holy Land with David Roberts RA’ is to be held on Monday March 10th at 2.30pm at the Salon Varietes Theatre in Fuengirola with lecturer Felicity Herring B.A., M.A., and is to be repeated on Tuesday March 11th at the Cultural Centre in Nerja at 6pm.

In 1838 David Roberts, the son of an Edinburgh cobbler, travelled up the Nile as far as Abu Simbel then back to Cairo. He was the first western artist to
record the great statues of Rameses II, the Temple of Amun and the statues of Amenhotep III. He then travelled from Cairo across the Sinai desert to the Holy Land. His paintings of Petra were the first that Europeans had seen of this wonder of the ancient world. He went on to Jerusalem, Nazareth, Tyre and Baalbec and many more places.
David Roberts' paintings of his epic journey influenced travellers for many generations. Felicity Herring’s lecture leads us through David Robert’s epic journey illustrated with lithographs and paintings by the artist with information about the sights and landscapes as they were seen in the 19th century.
The second lecture is an extra one being held on Tuesday 11th March 2014 at 10.30 in The Danish Club, Urb. Haza del Algorrobo, Ctra. de Mijas km 2.2. (www.clubdanes.dk) on “The Life & Loves of Admiral Lord Nelson” also by Felicity Herring. A lecture about the life of Horatio Nelson, the naval commander, husband and lover – from his boyhood in Burnham Thorpe to his death at the Battle of Trafalgar. His three major battles; the Battle of the Nile, the Battle of Copenhagen and the Battle Trafalgar, are featured.
The loves of his life, his marriage to Fanny in the West Indies and his subsequent affair with
Emma, Lady Hamilton are also discussed.
For more information on this lecture contact costadelsol.dfas@gmail.co m The cost to members of NADFAS/DFAS is €8 and to visitors and guests €10.
About the lecturer
Felicity Herring has a BA in economics and history, and an MA in Fine Art Valuation. Her Master's thesis was based on paintings of Nelson's battles, studying the battles and also the man himself. Since gaining her Masters, she has continued her studies into the life of Nelson, and as a NADFAS lecturer has travelled widely.

The lecture will be given by Peter Cadman. Also today, but in the afternoon this time from 14.45 until 16.15, there will be a lecture given by Liz Cochrane on El Greco.
This year Spain celebrates the 400th anniversary of the death of the painter El Greco in Toledo. Doménikos Theotokópoulos was born in Crete in 1541 and given
the nickname ´El Greco´ because of his national origin, despite the fact that at the time of his birth, Crete was part of the Republic of Venice. As the guides conduct visitors around Toledo today they will probably not say that the models for his madonnas and saints were El Greco´s various mistresses, nor that the Dean of Toledo stood godfather to El Greco´s son, knowing the child to be illegitimate. Dogged by tragedy, this very human genius of portraiture nevertheless achieved his ambition to fill churches with beautiful paintings.

Nearing the end of a six month mission to Mars, eight astronaut researchers find themselves in unexpected, deadly peril. When scientist Marco Petrovic realises from his soil samples that he may have found evidence of life, he heads out to the surface one last time, keeping his potential discovery hidden. When
he falls into a pit, some of the other astronauts must go down inside the crevice to find him.
Eventually, the rest of the crew realises there is life on the planet. They find out the hard way, after discovering that both Marco and Dalby, who went to find him, have been infected by Martian microbes that

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR
NoN-Stop Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra Starring: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery During a transatlantic flight from New York City to London US Air Marshall Bill Marks (Neeson) receives a series of cryptic text messages demanding that he instruct the government to transfer $150 million into an off-shore account – and if he doesn’t follow orders a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes.
Cue for a nail-biting cat and mouse game in which Marks has to find a killer at 40,000 feet – Neeson has cornered the market recently in action and vengeance movies and the box office results have shown that he can certainly carry a thriller and draw in the audiences. This one is no exception. It may have had some iffy reviews but it has stormed to the top of the US box office. Ex-cop Marks is an alcoholic, a broken man who has lost a daughter and is a very nervous flyer who needs a large drink to control his anxiety in the

Solomon Northup lives in New York in the years before the Civil War. One day, he is abducted and sold into slavery.
During his twelve years as a slave, he must endure horrific hardships, particularly at the hands of a brutal slaveowner by the name of Edwin Epps.
While his life is filled with misery, he retains
his strength and dignity and is grateful for the small kindnesses that he receives from people of good will.
He continues to hold out hope for a day when he may be liberated from his cruel state, and his big chance comes when he happens to meet with an abolitionist named Bass.
Solomon's faith and endurance may just bring him back to freedom.

air and a calming cigarette in the toilet – hmm, so not the best qualified for the job … especially when it all starts to go wrong.
So, who is sending the mysterious texts? Cathy (Moore) who is sitting in the seat next to Marks and endlessly chats about nothing at all? The helpful flight attendant (Dockery, Downton’s Lady Mary)? Or maybe the Muslim doctor down the aisle? Or maybe it’s Marks himself? It starts to look a bit
awkward when Marks’ superiors on the ground claim the off-shore account is in his name, so someone is setting him up. The great thing about airplane dramas is that there is no escape – just claustrophobia. So this may not be another Air Force One but it’s designed to keep the nerve ends shredded as the tense drama unfolds. Just don’t pick at too many holes in the plot.

Director: Wong Kar-Wai Starring: Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Zhang Ziyi Martial arts master Ip Man enjoyed a peaceful childhood that included training in Wing Chun from the revered teacher Chan Wah-shun. His extensive knowledge of martial arts brought him discipline, but he did not need to use it for actual self-defense. He settled into a happy marriage with Cheung Wing-sing, but then he is plucked out of his pleasant life when he is
selected as the martial arts champion representing the South.
He goes up against champion Gong Yutian and finds himself in an intense exchange of ideas that is more taxing than physical fighting.
Several other challenging experiences are also instrumental in preparing him for the role for which he is most
famous – training the renowned martial artist and movie star Bruce Lee.

This is not the time to assume anything but to double check the facts as misunderstandings can occur. Your powers of observation are super high and this can only help to sift out the clear from the unclear. By paying attention nothing will come as a surprise and you won’t miss vital clues. It is time to slow down, listen more and not act on impulse. Weigh up each piece of news as you hear it and slowly come to a conclusion or decision that rests easy with you. You have an opportunity to change a pattern of behaviour linked to resources or finances. This behaviour may have caused you problems in the past and now there is a chance to walk a different path more in line with your current needs. If this minor adjustment is sustained, it will create a domino effect of positive change. This is a lovely week for romance and love so make the space to spend with a loved one. Remain open and adaptable this week as communications and negotiations on all fronts are bound to improve. Things can reverse themselves in a blink, even in some cases where you thought all was lost. Things can turn around quickly and shift into unexpected directions leaving you with more confidence to tackle a sticky situation. Stay focused and continue to put your mind and heart into whatever you are doing but at the same time try to refrain from judging the outcome. Many options are starting to be revealed to you and you will find that at the moment you are flowing nicely with the creative current. Your will is powerful – so direct your intentions purely and passionately and a prosperous opening will come forth. Your home and personal life means a lot right now and there could be relocation or even decorative changes to your place of residence. Keep on top of your health needs and make sure you eat well. One minute you could feel as if you are riding high on the wings of an eagle and the next minute you could feel pulled down and lacking in energy. The key is not to allow this energy to weigh you down in the first place; it only gets to you when you don’t acknowledge its presence. Instead of pushing against something that won’t move, walk around it or climb up it and go over the top. Lighten up and laugh more Leo – it is in your creative nature to improvise and find alternative ways around things. You like to know well in advance what to expect so you can plan well, or get ready early for any performance so that you can be as perfect as possible and make all the necessary adjustments. There has been an undercurrent of unpredictability that has made you feel a little off balance and unable to tie down plans. However, things are on the move and you will be able to start actualising those plans once more. Shift into a higher gear of movement Virgo – you have a green light.

These juicy tomatoes improve in flavour if cooked the day before you serve them. You can easily make them veggie too.
Stuffed tomatoes with lamb mince, dill & rice Ingredients:
(Serves 4)
• 4 beef tomatoes • pinch sugar • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle • 1 Spanish onion, finely chopped • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 200g minced lamb • 1 tsp ground cinnamon • 2 tbsp tomato purée • 50g long grain rice
• • • •
100ml chicken stock 4 tbsp chopped dill 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 tbsp chopped mint
Directions 1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slice the tops off the tomatoes and reserve. Scoop out most of the pulp with a teaspoon, being careful not to break the skin. Finely chop the pulp, and keep any juices. Sprinkle the insides of the tomatoes with a little sugar to take away the acidity, then place them on a baking tray. 2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and garlic, then gently cook for about 10 mins until soft but not coloured. Add the lamb, cinnamon and tomato purée, turn up the
heat, then fry until the meat is browned. Add the tomato pulp and juice, the rice and the stock. Season generously. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Set aside to cool a little, then stir in the herbs. 3. Stuff the tomatoes up to the brim, top tomatoes with their lids, drizzle with 2 tbsp more olive oil, sprinkle 3 tbsp water into the tray, then bake for 35 mins. Serve with salad and crusty bread, hot or cold.

You could experience an enlightened perspective where there was something weighing heavy on you, perhaps there has been a connection that has tested your patience and tolerance to the limit? Communicating with authority where you stand and the way things will be from now on will put you ahead of the game. As you do this the stress will literally wash away and you will feel light enough to raise the roof with song.
Excellent financial news is on the way and things are heating up to start happening quickly. Keep your mind open to possibilities of change as your hopes could be re-awoken and you are once more able to dream with the idea that it could come true. There could be a desire to travel or explore new horizons. Your magnetism is strong right now and you are likely to attract a lot of attention. If single this is a great time to meet someone new. The restrictions that have been holding you back will disappear and not only that but opportunities that you have missed in the past will now have a way of coming back around again. The real you is coming out and shining for everyone to see, no longer are you content to hide behind a mask. Base your upcoming actions on reason and take your time when making a choice and you can’t go wrong. Unexpected directions or paths could come along. It is important not to judge the outcomes by what you are experiencing today and it is for this reason that you can’t be detracted from your path. Do not allow anyone to come between what you know is the right thing for you to do; this is not the time to hold back any longer but to launch yourself and unload. You have the ability right now to improve your earning prospects as you stand on the edge of a major period of transformation in your life. You have a prophetic visionary quality about you these days and now the fog has begun to clear whatever feedback of truth you have been seeking will come to you. Sensing what others are thinking and feeling will allow you to prepare yourself in certain situations. There could be a blip at the weekend when things just won’t seem to happen as expected, but just roll with it, the outcome is not cast in stone just yet.

Ask Calvin and Sue: Hair & Beauty
News - Breakthroughs - Treatments - Trends
Dear Sue,
I keep getting blackheads and greasy patches just a bit lower than my eyes. The rest of my face is fine, have you any ideas what I can do? Hayley, Calahonda Dear Hayley,
There can be several causes for this frequent problem. Avoid using face cream on the eye sockets as it can often be too rich for this area. Also if you wear glasses or sunglasses remember to clean the frames regularly as grease
and oil can build up and cause problems in these areas. Dear Calvin,
As the better weather is approaching and it will be not long before my kids want to be in the pool, I am dreading another summer of green looking hair. What can I do to prevent this? Debbie, Fuengirola Dear Debbie,
chlorine and minerals, which are both found in the swimming pool. Apply a conditioner and leave in before swimming as this will create a barrier to protect the hair.
Using tomato ketchup on the hair is a good way to neutralise the green. Apply, leave a few minutes and rinse well. Alternatively rinse the hair through with soda water. Dear Sue,
What should I do as I will miss not being able to wear my favourite earrings? Beth Mijas Dear Beth,
This happens quite often to girls with pierced ears. Firstly you should see a doctor to get some stitches in to close the gap. You will have to wait until it has healed completely before you have it re-pierced.
Dear Calvin,
Another year and my usual trips to Spain are arranged, but each time I leave the UK with my freshly coloured blonde hair within a week my hair yellows. Any solutions? Lynne, Mijas Dear Lynne,
A lot of clients suffer with a yellowing of their hair when out in the sun. Whether coloured or naturally grey, when you have your colour next try introducing beige tones into your hair as these tones
seem to have more resistance to yellowing than others.
Alternatively, try using a violet shampoo, such as Paul Mitchell’s platinum blonde shampoo, which neutralises yellowing as is also great for natural grey hair. If you have any questions for Calvin or Sue, you can contact them on email – Calvin, calton1@hotmail .co.uk and Sue’s email 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).

The experts say the problem is not the pizza, it's pizza abuse: "It is a highly calorific food, made with refined flours and fat that aren't good for health." Healthy pizzas can be made at home, but pizzas made in factories are high in carbohydrates

made at home, without all the preservatives and industrialised ingredients high in fat and salt, the pizza can be a good source of nutrients as long as it is not eaten at night.
The latest research on body biorythm and circadian rhythm suggests that eating food high in carbs and saturated fat at night leads to an increase in body fat. Also, a heavy meal for dinner (such as pizza) could be the cause of a sluggish digestion and sleep problems.
Therefore, pizza at lunchtime, and pizza at night are not the same. The research advice is make it yourself, use ingredients low in fat and don't eat it night.
1st Lady promotes food label overhaul
First Lady Michelle Obama has unveiled plans for the most sweeping overhaul of nutrition labels on US food packages in more than two decades. Calorie counts will appear in larger, bolder type, and consumers will know for the first time whether foods have added sugars. Under her plan, labels will also feature more realistic descriptions of a serving – for example, a 20oz (0.5kg) container of soda will count as one serving, rather than 2.5 servings, as it is currently. The serving size listed on ice cream cartons,
currently half a cup, will increase to one cup. The changes would reflect advances in health experts' understanding of sugars and fats.
The amount of total fat, saturated fat and trans fat in a product would still be listed on the updated labelling. But it would no longer have to list calories from fat since the type of fat consumed is now viewed as more important than the amount. The food label revisions will also include mandatory potassium and vitamin D amounts.

Cate continues her award season domination The Oscars with all its glitz and glamour was staged last weekend and the UK triumphed again
… but American Hustle falls at final Oscar hurdle
The British film Gravity entered earth’s atmosphere and enjoyed a soft landing, scooping a clutch of seven awards at this year’s Oscars ceremony and cementing a great evening for British movie-making. The biggie – best picture – proved elusive for Gravity, but the winner 12 Years a Slave meant that the British contingent in Hollywood continued to have a lot to shout about. However British director Steve McQueen missed out on best director to Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron.
Cate Blanchett continued her successful gallop through this year’s awards season and picked up best actress for Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine. The Dallas Buyers Club scooped best actor for Matthew McConaughey, as well as best supporting actor for Jared Leto, in his first film role for five years. A roar of approval greeted the award of best supporting actress to Lupila Nyong’o, for her role in 12 Years a Slave – her first ever performance in front of the camera. It came down to a three-
way fight for Oscar honours, with space thriller Gravity scoring seven, and 12 years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club winning three each. American Hustle was expected to take them to the wire but was shut out, along with Philomena, Nebraska and Captain Phillips– all walked away empty handed. And Leonardo DiCaprio, nominated four times now, was also disappointed. During the Oscar ceremony host for the evening Ellen DeGeneres set a new worldwide
record. She posed with a bunch of A-listers including Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey for a ‘selfie’ and tweeted it during the show. She was able to report an hour later that it had been re-tweeted more than a million times, setting a re-tweet record. Photographs taken from behind the action revealed a diminutive Liza Minnelli at the back of the group desperately trying to get in on the action but being far too short to be included into the shot!
Dressing for the Oscars - frights of fancy, the goodies and the mistakes Sandra Bullock in Gravity
Awards ceremonies are always good for frock spotting but this year it seems they either looked gorgeous or totally frightful. For once Lady Gaga looked utterly elegant while others we haven’t shown you here clearly hadn’t looked in a mirror before they ventured out for the night. Cumberbatch (right) obviously got bored but it was the best photobomb of the night!
Don’t you just hate it when someone turns up in virtually the same dress? Especially when it must have cost you a fortune. Still Gaga (left) wins hands down on this one.
And what about the chaps? Cool as a (cu)Cumberbatch or Murray mangled?

Passive smoking remains a danger to our health. Antismoking legislation is not worth a puff! Would all the lawmakers, legislators and politicians sitting smugly with their complacent arms folded assuming they have created a health Nirvana with the anti-smoking legislation please take note they have failed miserably. The only safe place to escape passive smoking is in an aeroplane (which is usually full of viruses and infections) or in one’s own home ( non-smoking of course). Last night I was invited to a local bistro in my Costa del Sol Village to watch the big blue match. Thoroughly enjoyed my two hours of entertainment, then returned home to find my hair skin and everything I was wearing including socks and underwear smelled like an ashtray. My sinuses were blocked and my mouth tasted of stale cigarettes. Due to my ongoing health issues which are aggravated by passive smoke, I knew I was in for a rough night. It is now 4am and I have not slept so decided to write this article in the hope that the powers that be take a hard look at how far away from reality the anti-smoking legislation actually is. Smoking is like a bad smell, if you only move it a few metres it is still a bad smell.

Comment By Ken Campbell
e North Star As with most public establishments they have moved smokers outside but in the case of eateries, especially in warmer areas like the Costa, the outside especially in the winter is usually a canvas lean-to sheltered area connected to the main room by a usually open doorway, consequently all the smoke is blown inside by outside wind or drawn by extractors into the nonsmoking main areas. Shops, bars, offices shopping malls etc., etc., where smoking takes place around or just outside the entrance doorways suffer from the same problem. I noticed that my hospital in the UK has now banned smoking outside in the covered entrance as it has finally dawned on the management that the doors open hundreds of times per day and the smoke blows in.
Not thought through The legislation, lawmaking and enforcement has not been properly thought through and has only scratched the surface. The high percentage failure

of the ineffective legislation created to provide clean air public areas is not acceptable. The general public and their children and especially employees who are spending long hours and many days in their workplaces are still being subjected to this killer curse. The simple answer has to be legislation to have active and specifically effective smoke or air quality monitoring detection installed in no smoking areas similar to the aeroplanes which can fire an alarm and then register these instances through the phone or internet system to a monitoring computer system which, depending on the readings, could allow possibly three strikes then generate an investigation or fine. (Nice little earner !) Should the alarm sound, customers forewarned of passive smoke entering the clean area, would be entitled to choose to take their kids and leave immediately (costing the establishment loss of revenue). In Spain and Portugal I am aware there already exists the complaints book system and customers should use be using this effectively regarding neglect of health issues within premises they frequent. In ignorance I also smoked for many years, but 40 years ago realised the stupidity of this habit and thankfully stopped. For many years following I was subjected to, and not fully aware of, the dangers of passive smoking. Today we are so well informed that we should be much wiser. Creating politically motivated, useless and ineffective legislation, is not the answer. The passive smoking death sentence is still all around us. Please Editors use your powers and get this sorted once and for all. Thank you for your attention.

You will have heard people talking about navigating by the stars, here’s how to do it yourself and impress the neighbours. efore the days of Satnavs, maps and even a compass to help find their way people used the stars to show them directions. They knew that the Sun rises in the east, is due south at midday and sets again in the evening in the west. So by knowing these facts it was fairly easy to travel in a particular direction. But by knowing a little more about the stars you can pinpoint your position on the Earth with a fair degree of accuracy.
A
s the Earth turns on its axis during the day (and night) then all the stars appear to move across the sky from east to west and circle in an anticlockwise direction around one star, The North Star, Pole Star or to give it its proper name Polaris. By pure coincidence Polaris just happens to be located almost directly above the North Pole axis of the Earth. So as the Earth spins then this star appears to remain stationary while all the other stars revolve around it.
T
herefore the Pole Star is always due North, so by identifying this star you know that you are facing due North. But the Pole Star can also tell you where you are standing with regard to your latitude, that is how far North or South you are. If you were standing at the North Pole then the North Star would be directly over head at 900. On the other hand, if you were stood at the equator then Polaris would just be visible on the horizon at 00.
B
y using a sextant and accurately measuring the height of the Pole Star above the horizon you can find your position. Southern Spain for instance is about 360 North so the angle from the horizon up to the Pole Star is about 360. Whenever I go back to Liverpool the Pole Star is much higher in the sky at around 530. Sailors of old would take a reading of the position of Polaris and could tell what their latitude was.
C
alculating your longitude or position east or west was much more difficult and it would take a watchmaker called John Harrison in 1772 to solve the problem. To calculate longitude you need to know what time it is at a given point, in this case Greenwich observatory just outside London England. Then if you can determine your local noon time when the Sun is at its highest in the sky and due south, you can then calculate how far east or west you had travelled. One hour ahead or behind Greenwich noon equals 150 east or west longitude.
W
henever I ask people ‘which is the brightest star in the sky?’ they almost always answer ‘the North Star’. Unfortunately this isn’t true and in fact the North Star is really quite inconspicuous – it only just makes it onto the list of 50 brightest stars coming in at number 46. It actually marks the point of the tail of ‘The Little Bear’, Ursa Minor or as the Americans call it ‘The Little Dipper’. It is not even a single star but instead is made up of a group of 5 individual stars that are too close together to be separated with the naked eye. The main star of the group, the one we refer to as The North Star is a huge star about five times bigger than our Sun. It is around 430 light years away so quite a distance from us.
T
here is a very simple method to finding the North Star, one that every astronomer learns first. Locate the very prominent constellation of ‘The Plough’ (Big Dipper). I’ve mentioned before, you can’t mistake The Plough. It looks like a huge saucepan with three stars forming the curved handle and another four stars forming a slightly crooked rectangle which is the bowl of the saucepan. Now follow the two end stars of the bowl conveniently named ‘The Pointers’ and they point directly to the North Star. If you imagine the North Star as being the centre of a huge celestial clock then The Plough acts as the hands of the clock faithfully circling the North Star.
G
o outside tonight and find the North Star and you’ll never be lost again!

Williams looking strong Sepang II Test: Rossi tops times with Pedrosa After three tests and 12 days of on-track action, Williams head to the Australian Grand Prix almost certainly as one of the front runners following a consistently quick and reliable showing throughout testing. Benefiting from its favourable Mercedes powerplant, though the consensus in the paddock suggests the factory Mercedes team has the upper hand overall, it was still the Williams of Felipe Massa that ended the second Bahrain test with the fastest lap time overall.
Valtteri Bottas is confident Williams is as prepared as it can be for the 2014 Formula 1 season starter in Australia as he maintained the FW36's strong performance on the final day of testing.Taking over the car from Massa, Bottas was equally fast, setting the fourth fastest time overall (second on the day) and completing more laps than any other driver over the last four days.
Lewis Hamilton led the way on the final day of testing
Lewis Hamilton ensured Mercedes ended pre-season testing with the fastest time on the final day in Bahrain.With Felipe Massa having topped the timesheets on Saturday, his Williams team-mate Valtteri Bottas was quickest for the majority of Sunday's running until a late run from Hamilton on supersoft tyres saw him set a time of 1:33.278. That lap was still 0.020s shy of Massa's best this week, and came after Mercedes lost almost the whole morning session to a gearbox issue. Bottas had to settle for second in the
standings but managed to complete 108 laps as Williams showed impressive reliability. Bottas eventually stopped with a high-mileage engine failure during the final hour of running, causing the first red flag for a Williams all winter. Fernando Alonso was third quickest in the Ferrari but was a second off Hamilton's pace and limited to 73 laps on the final day. Nico Hulkenberg and Jean-Eric Vergne both completed 74 laps as the latter got some more strong mileage in for Renault.

Valentino Rossi shared the top spot for Yamaha on the final day of the Sepang II MotoGP test as the Italian star set the joint fastest time of the week on the YZR-M1.Rossi and Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa both recorded times of 1m 59.999s as the test reached a conclusion in Malaysia – the only riders to post a sub two-minute lap. Bridgestone's new tyres have been causing problems in particular for Rossi's team-mate Jorge Lorenzo, who has complained about the lack of edged grip. Lorenzo finished seventh on the times on Friday, 0.620s behind the leading pair and afterwards Rossi said the Spaniard's style was making it more difficult to achieve a fast lap time on the new rubber.

The long-rumoured move was announced to the Sepang media by new Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall'Igna at the end of the second pre-season test, which coincides with the deadline for submitting Factory or Open class entries. “The most important reason is the freedom that we have with the Open solution. It is what Ducati

need to develop the bike in 2014,” began Dall'Igna.
“We did quite well in these two tests. I'm really happy with the results today. It was quite good, but not enough.
“We have to develop the bike and the freedom we have with the Open solution is, I think, one of the key points to see Ducati on the podium in the future.”
Dovizioso finished this week's Sepang test in a close third place, just 0.068s from joint leaders Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa whilst using the Factory software. New signing Crutchlow was eighth on the timesheets (+0.791s), also setting his best lap with the Factory software.

McIlroy loses out in play-off Rory McIlroy surrendered a two-shot lead and then lost in a play-off at the Honda Classic in Florida while world number one Tiger Woods withdrew injured.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy, who carded a fourover-par 74, missed a 12-foot eagle putt at the last to win outright. American Russell Henley won a playoff, which also featured compatriot Ryan Palmer and Scotland's Russell Knox, with a birdie at the first extra hole. Woods was forced to withdraw on the 13th hole because of back pain. The American hit a five-under-
par 65 on Saturday to move into contention but was five over in his final round when he quit.
His withdrawal comes six weeks before the Masters at Augusta – the first major of 2014 – which takes place from 10th-13th April. "It's my lower back with spasms," said Woods, 38. "It started while I was warming up."
McIlroy admitted he was fortunate to have reached the play-off after dropping six shots in 11 holes from the seventh, including a double-bogey six on the parfour 16th where he hit his
ball out of a bunker and into water. He followed that with another bogey on the 17th, which left him needing a birdie on the last to get into the playoff at eight under.
The 24-year-old gave himself a chance of victory though with a stunning second shot on the par-five hole that finished 12 feet from the hole but he was unable to hole the eagle putt that would

have won him the title.
"I didn't play well enough to deserve to win," McIlroy told the PGA tour website, adding, "It's going to be hard to get over because I had a great chance to win my first tournament of the season and I didn't.”

Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips Playing AQ
AQ always seems like a good hand when you look down at it, however, if you ask some of the world’s top pros they will tell you that AQ has cost them more money than any other hand. It may be a top 20 starting hand but always be prepared to dump it.
I started writing this article to try and hammer out some good ideas and guidelines on how to play the hand. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to explain in print. To me it becomes clear that to play A-Q profitably, it's a purely situational hand, you have to play it differently, or not at all, depending on the table you're on and the players you're with. If you're up against nine players who will only play top-five hands, A-Q is a losing hand. If you're up against players who will play any two cards, the numbers will back up A-Q to make you money. No matter how you play it, you need to be making information
plays, you need some way to get a solid read on what you're up against. It's better to lose two bets preflop, or on the flop, than to lose eight bets across five streets.
Early Position
In my first year of poker I quickly noticed A-Q as being a trouble hand for me, and began to experiment with different ways of playing it. One of the ways I experimented was to limp-reraise A-Q from early position. If your No. 1 goal is to gain information about the other hands, this can be a great way to do it at a lowmedium limit No-Limit table. With the amount of strength shown by a limp reraise, you can be sure the other player has a hand that dominates you if they call or come back over the top. In these scenarios you lose three bets, compared to losing one where you miss or a stack when you hit a setup flop. One thing to remember with this play, and any information play, is the motives you had for
making the play in the first place. If the person does call you after making the limp reraise, you have to sign right off and be willing to dump the hand no matter what the flop (other than flopping broadway). Even flopping top two in this scenario will put you at risk of losing your stack against two of the top-five hands, winning nearly nothing against KK and winning small to a stack against A-K. Remember, with the strength you showed preflop, A-K will be less likely to pay you out on an A-Q2 board. Chances of you having AA or QQ are very real, making it a hard call for them to make. Making this move is only a good idea against ABC players. ABC players will react to this move exactly in line with the strength of the hand they're holding.

Vincent Tan facing investigation
Vincent Tan, the Cardiff City owner, has been forced to rescind the offer of a £3.7million bonus to his players if they avoid relegation from the Premier League. The Welsh side are facing the prospect of returning to the Championship next season, sitting secondbottom in the league table having lost three of their last four matches. Tan made the offer of a large bonus – to be shared among all the players if they stay in the top flight – on Saturday night at the team's hotel before playing Spurs the following day.
Malaga in Trouble Malaga 1 - 1 Valladolid
It was a must win game for Malaga at La Rosaleda on Saturday with Malaga looking to put 6 points difference between themselves and Valladolid.
Malaga started well with Amrabat causing the Valladolid defence problems. Iakovenko had a shot saved on 12 minutes and from the resulting corner taken by Duda, Santa Cruz unmarked at the far post headed home to make it 1 -0 to the home side. Malaga were in control but a lapse in defending let Guerra in for a free header, but fortune favoured the home side when his effort went wide. On 24 minutes Amrabat had another chance for Malaga and then he set up Santa Cruz
whose effort was snuffed out by the Valladolid defence. On the half hour Valladolid drew level. A good cross from the right found Manucho who passed to Larsson, and the midfielder fired home from inside the box to give Caballero no chance. Duda and Angeleri had long shots from outside the box but were way off target as Malaga made it to half time. Malaga opened the second half well controlling the ball but always looking for that killer pass which had been missing most of the season. Two early efforts almost restored their lead. Antunes, who was looking dangerous crossed the ball but it was just too high for Santa Cruz. Then Antunes put over another cross which Santa Cruz

headed just wide of the post as Malaga looked for a second goal. Antunes then had an attempt of his own, the defender’s shot was off-target but not by much. In the last minute a counter attack from Valladolid nearly ended in a winner for the visitors. Oscar found Guerra inside the box only for Caballero to make a great vital save. The game ended with "Schuster Veta Ya" Schuster Out ... echoing around La Rosaleda.
Malaga travel to Osasuna next Monday night and the next home game see league leaders Real Madrid with Ronaldo and Gareth Bale travel to La Rosaleda on March 15th at 8pm. Report by Scott Forbes

Fred, owner of the Betfred empire, believes it would take £2bn to shift the Americans, who took the reins in 2005 and saddled the club with the debt of the borrowings they made to buy it.“It breaks my heart,” he exclusively told the Manchester Evening News. “They’re sat in Florida while 70,000 who love the club are paying for their debt and dividends and are not seeing a good team.

Carl Froch v George Groves: rematch Wembley Stadium will stage the rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves on 31st May, with the fight likely to set a British postWar attendance record. Froch retained his WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles with a contentious ninthround stoppage of Groves at Manchester Arena last November. Froch-Groves II will be the first boxing bout at Wembley Stadium since it re-opened in 2007. Wembley holds 90,000, although a crowd of 60-70,000 is more realistic.

Broad and Bopara see England to tight win England won a tense second one-day international against West Indies by three wickets to level the series at 1-1 with one match remaining. Ravi Bopara and captain Stuart Broad saw England to victory with a partnership of 58 after a collapse had threatened their pursuit of 160. England had made a confident start to their chase, after their spinners had bowled tightly to help dismiss the hosts for 159. And Stuart Broad struck the winning runs with more than five overs to spare as England recorded only their second win in an international match since the start of the disastrous Ashes series.
