Lluis Recoder toldreporters the regionalgovernment had nointention of opening aninvestigation into thecompany's financialcollapse, saying that wasfor a judge to decide.

However, he said theregional government wastrying to relocate as manyof the airline's 2,000workers as possible withother companies in thesame sector. Anotherestimated 2,000 workers inrelated sectors have alsolost their jobs.

Spain's fourth-largestairline's abrupt decision tostop operations last Fridayleft thousands ofpassengers scrambling tofind alternative flightarrangements – and

having to pay out of theirown pockets into thebargain. A spokesman forthe airline said on Fridaythat it did not know exactlyhow many air passengerswere affected but wasconfident the IATA wouldpay for the tickets.

Public Works MinisterAna Pastor has warnedcompany executives thatthey face fines of up to €9million for violating the

nation's aviation rules bysuddenly shutting down.Pastor was only informedof the decision two hours

before Spanair groundedmore than 200 flights.

“It’s going to get even harder.”Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is fully expecting Spain to have difficulties reducing its budget deficit. P3

After all the hoo-hah, doyou think the boss ofRoyal Bank of Scotlandshould have kept hisbonus or not? It wouldseem that opinions aredivided down themiddle.

On the one hand, thepublic has put in billionsto stop the bank goingdown completely andthey should be paidback first. On the otherhand, it was the previousboss of the bank thatgot it into such a terriblestate so why shouldStephen Hester who haspretty much done whathe was supposed to dobe penalised – especiallyas it was part of hisoriginal deal when hetook on what must bean incredibly difficultand stressful job? It tookhim three days to decidenot to take the bonus,under enormouspolitical pressure, butdecline it he did in theend.

The problem is, if Britaintakes on people to do acertain job at a certainprice then says, prettymuch: “Ah, yes, well weknow we said that then,but now, well, we thinkwe shouldn’t actuallygive you that after all,”what is going to happenis that the people whocan turn the businesses,and therefore thecountry round are goingto say a probably-not-very-polite “up yours”and go to the States,Canada, Australia, newZealand, in fact,anywhere that will valuethem more than Britain.Personally, I am in twominds still aboutwhether he should havetaken the money or notbut, if offered a job withthose conditions, about99% of people wouldhave kept it like a shot!

Spanair collapse won't be investigatedSources at the CGT union saidSpanair employees werewarned of their fate by emailand some workers wereprevented from entering theairline's facilities after theannouncement was madeFriday afternoon.

Some 22,770 passengerswere left stranded overweekend and as many aspossible were put onalternative flights operatedby Vueling, Air Europa,Lufthansa and Iberia. Spanair

had built up a debt of over€300 million, includingvarious loans from theregional government, itsmain shareholder, which isalso facing a financial crunch.The collapse came after QatarAirways withdrew fromtakeover talks, ending anyhopes of further financing.The airline was once ownedby Scandinavia's SAS Airlines,which still has an 11% stake inthe firm. It was bought out bythe former regionalgovernment in 2008.

Workers now fear there is notenough money in the coffersto cover what they are owed.When they met chairmanFerran Soriano on Mondayand asked if that was the case,he replied: “I can't say for sure."However, under bankruptcyproceedings, receiversnormally give priority tounpaid wages amongcreditors, but the process cantake months and even years.The airlines most likely tobenefit from Spanair's demiseare Ryanair and Vueling.

Continued from FRONT PAGE

Interior Minister JorgeFernández Díaz has askedthe political parties to dealwith the end of the Basqueterrorist group ETA with“intelligence, prudence,unity and discretion”, addingthat the governmentintended to “keep its guard

up” in case it became activeagain. During his firstappearance beforeparliament, he set out hispriorities and objectives,especially his roadmap fordealing with ETA which, inhis opinion, still has a“latent” structure and is

“acting clandestinely”despite its announcementlast October of a “definitivecessation of violence”. Asregards demands from ETAsympathisers in the BasqueCountry that the ETAprisoners should all berelocated to prisons in the

Basque Country, instead ofall round Spain, the ministersaid the “only roadmap isthat of applying the law” andthe prisoners' cases wouldbe dealt with individuallyand not en masse.Fernandez Diaz said only 30ETA prisoners had called on

the group to disband andthat the rest (over 700) stillfollowed orders from thegroup. In view of recentarrests of ETA members inFrance and Spain, theminister said the securityforces did not intend tolower their guard.

Prime Minister MarianoRajoy and British PrimeMinister David Cameronwill have their first officialone-on-one meeting “at theend of February” inLondon, sources close toCameron said at themeeting of the EuropeanCommission on Monday.Rajoy had expected to havean informal meeting withCameron on Monday, aftertalking to him by phone lastFriday.

However, the sourcessaid such a meeting was noton Cameron's agenda.Rajoy is expected to pushfor firm talks between Spainand the UK on the questionof Gibraltar's sovereignty,without the participation ofthe Gib government.

Rajoy told EuropeanCommission President JoséManuel Barroso: “We'regoing to present a newmacroeconomicframework – the currentone says that we'll haveGDP growth of 2.3 percentthis year but it is evidentthat it won't end up like

this." Later, Rajoy wasoverheard complaining toFinnish Prime Minister JykiKatainen near an openmicrophone with televisioncameras rolling that "thelabour reform is going toearn me a general strike".He also told Dutch PrimeMinister Mark Rutte: "It is

always hard, but now it isgoing to get even harder."He said that what it boileddown to was that “theSocialists have left us a verycomplicated inheritance,with a deficit of more thaneight percent”, concludingthat “the forecast for growththis year is very bad”.

But the economic crisishas brought the so-called‘winstoneros’ (after thepopular Winston brand)out of the woodwork again,to the extent that theGuardia Civil andtobacconists estimate thatthe illegal sale of cigarettesis at the same level as in1992 – one of the worstyears for tobaccosmuggling. Since lastJanuary the Guardia Civiland Customs Police haveseized more than 740,000cartons of cigarettes inoperations in Santa Cruzde Tenerife, Seville,Madrid, Barcelona and

Galicia and arrested morethan 30 people for taxevasion. Meanwhile,tobacconists sold 3,015million packets ofcigarettes last year, downfrom 4,514 million in 2008.“We're both selling thesame cigarettes,” onetobacconist said. “It's justthat the smugglers aren'tpaying the taxes.”

The law is aimed at crackingdown on websites thatillegally share digitalcontent. Called the SindeLaw after the former cultureminister, it will create a newgovernment commission todeal with appeals by

Spanish copyright-holderswho feel a site is illegallydistributing their contentwithout their permission.Complainants mustidentify the owners of thesite infringing theircopyright and present the

content and links. Theowners of the websites willhave three days to presenttheir defence to thecommission.

If the commission ordersthe removal of the content,

internet service providers(ISPs) will have 24 hours toblock the service or removethe content. The websiteowners will not be able toappeal. If they fail to removecontent voluntarily, a courtwill intervene to close down

the website or block theservice, requiring ISPs toreveal the identity of theinfringers. A governmentspokesman said the entireprocess should take nomore than 10 days. Unlikethe SOPA Act (Stop Online

Piracy Act) currentlymaking its way through theUS Congress, which targetsinfringing websites andusers, the Sinde Lawfocuses only on those whoare making money fromcopyrighted content online.

The nine-member jury inthe case against formerPartido Popular regionalpremier of Valencia,Francisco Camps, and hisco-defendant, former PPsecretary general inValencia, Ricardo Costa,returned a not guilty verdictby five-to-four last weekafter a three-daydeliberation. They were

accused of receiving giftsfrom the Gürtel network ofbusinessmen who arecurrently facing charges ofbribing PP officials inValencia, Castilla-LaMancha and Madrid inreturn for public contractsworth millions of euros.Francisco Correa, the jailedalleged ringleader of Gürtel,gave evidence in the trial

against Camps and Costa.The Gürtel case erupted in2009 when High CourtJudge Baltasar Garzón blewthe lid on the network.Garzón was tried last weekin the Supreme Court fortapping telephoneconversations betweenjailed Gürtel suspects andtheir lawyers. The court hasyet to reach a verdict.

Justice minister AlbertoRuiz-Gallardón revealed aseries of proposed legalreforms during his firstappearance in parliamentlast week, which were notentirely unexpected. Theyincluded a modification ofthe abortion law passed bythe previous Socialistgovernment to eliminate acontroversial clauseallowing minors aged 16 to18 to seek abortionswithout their parents'consent.

The minister also wantsto raise the charges forcourt appeals. Otherproposed reforms includewhat the minister called“reviewable life sentences”in response to a growingdemand for life sentences

to really mean that ratherthan a maximum of 20years, a change in thesystem used to electmembers of the GeneralCouncil of the Judiciary(CGPJ), reforms to theMinors' Law and theintroduction of a system ofrevisable detention thatequates to a form ofwhole-life sentence. Amodification of the same-sex marriage law was not

on the minister's list,leaving open the questionof whether or not PrimeMinister Mariano Rajoy,who is opposed to single-sex unions, plans to revokethe law entirely.

Gallardón said he wouldseek consensus on thereforms, but with itsabsolute majority, the PPwill be able to push themthrough.

cleared of terror charges.The judge said that Davud"had planned the attacktogether with al-Qaeda".The convictions were thefirst under Norway's anti-terrorism legislation.

The three men, arrested

in July 2010, had denied thecharges, although Davudhad admitted he wasplanning to attack Chineseinterests in Norway becauseof the treatment of ethnicUighurs. Prosecutors saidthat Davud had learnedabout explosives at an al-

Qaeda camp in Pakistanand, together with Bujak,had planned to use themagainst the Danishnewspaper. It was alsoclaimed they had intendedto kill Kurt Westergaard,who drew some of thecartoons.

UK Prime Minister DavidCameron said hisgovernment would act ifthe treaty threatened UKinterests, saying he still has"legal concerns" about theuse of EU institutions inenforcing the fiscal treaty.

French President NicolasSarkozy said the Czechshad given "constitutionalreasons" for their refusal.The Czech Republic is notyet in the euro but, like theother new EU member

states, it is committed tojoining.

The treaty's goal is amuch closer co-ordinationof budget policy across theEU to prevent excessivedebts accumulating.Germany – the eurozone'sbiggest lender and mostpowerful economy – is verykeen to get a binding treatyadopted to enforce budgetrules. The treaty willempower the EuropeanCourt of Justice to monitor

compliance and imposefines on rule-breakers.

The treaty also spells outthe enhanced role of theEuropean Commission inscrutinising nationalbudgets. European Unionleaders also discussed waysto stimulate economicgrowth despite thestringent austerity budgetsin many countries – andfocused on how to reduceunemployment across theeurozone. The European

Commission said €82billion of EU money isavailable for countries tospend on projects to boostjobs and growth.

Bashar al-Assad to handpower to a deputy. TheWhite House said Mr Assadhad lost control of Syria,adding "he will go". Francehas said 10 of the 15countries on the SecurityCouncil now support theArab League text. Aminimum of nine councilmembers must lend theirbacking in order for a

resolution to be put to avote, but Russia – as one ofthe five permanent councilmembers – can veto anyproposed resolution.

Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke has unveiled plans for a newinitiative to stop criminals from claiming from the Criminal InjuriesCompensation scheme for injuries and psychological damages aspart of refocusing the tax-payer funded scheme.

Under the present rules,criminals who are servingprison sentences havebeen claiming huge sums –with more than 20,000claimants with criminalrecords receiving £75million over the last tenyears. Almost £300 millionwas paid out during theyear spanning 2010/2011.

Inmates, includingSoham murderer IanHuntley, have claimedcompensation after beinginjured by others. The killerof schoolgirls Holly Wellsand Jessica Chapman(pictured right)made the£100,000 claim, saying thePrison Service failed in itsduty of care towards him,after he had his throatslashed by another inmatein March 2010. He needed21 stitches in the seven-inch wound and blamedprison staff for notprotecting him sufficientlyagainst such attacks. Hisassailant, prisoner DamienFowkes, was said to have a

pathological hatred of childkillers and had also killedanother inmate bystrangling him.

The Ministry of Justicproposals should alsoreduce the long backlog ofcompensation claims sinceif they are adopted onlythose who are “blamelessof crime” would be eligiblefor a payout – criminalswould no longer be eligible– meaning that victims ofcrime would get theircompensation sooner.

The government alsowants to make thecriminals pay for theircrimes through the “victimsurcharge” scheme. Thatmeans that those whocommit the crimes will bere-imbursing the victimsupport services for thepay-outs. Money will bededucted from whatever“wages” they receive whileworking in prison with theaim of raising an extra £50million from offenders

instead of from taxpayers.

The new scheme wouldsee the victim surchargeraised from just £15 to £120for every offender. At themoment, the levy onlyapplies to those given finesin court.

Mr Clarke is alsoplanning to increasespeeding fixed penaltyfines from £60 to £100, withthe £5,000 cap on fineswhich can be levied bymagistrates' courtsremoved.

mayor said the three-lanestation would be able tohandle some 45,000vehicles a year. As therewere only 30,000 vehiclesin circulation inBenalmadena andTorremolinos, he said thiswould absorb some of theITV demand along the

Memo fromMadridMartin DelfínWrites for the English language version of

The LocalVoice

Muriel Pilkington

Isuspect that High Court Judge BaltasarGarzon’s “brilliant career” is finallygrinding to a halt. He’s currently in the

dock for the third time, facing charges ofbribery for allegedly accepting money fromthe Banco Santander to organise somelectures in the US while he was on asabbatical year at New York University.Allegedly he shelved a tax fraud case againstSantander CEO Emilio Botín in return. If hisaccusers make this one stick, he faces a jailterm. In the first case, he admitted havingordered the tapping of telephoneconversations of suspects jailed for theirpart in the so-called Gürtel corruption caseto prevent them from salting away their lootabroad. In the second case he is accused offlouting the 1977 Amnesty Law by orderingan investigation into crimes committedduring the Franco dictatorship. Althoughthere were rumours that this case could bedropped because, as things stand, it doesn’tstand a snow flake’s chance in hell ofproceeding, the High Court has just ruledthat it can go ahead. Whatever verdicts areeventually passed down, it looks as if he’llnever practise law in Spain again. However,I’m sure they’ll welcome him in Argentinawhere the descendants of Republicans whofound refuge there after the Civil War haveasked him to take up their case against theFranco regime. No doubt he’ll be givenArgentinian nationality in record time sothat he can get on with trying Franco “inabsentia”.

Those who love Garzon see him as abrilliant crusading lawyer, anadjective that was stuck on him when

he tried to have former Chilean dictatorAugusto Pinochet extradited from the UK toface genocide charges in Spain. A lot ofpeople applauded his bold stand, includingmyself. But his detractors say that theheadlines he earned worldwide gave him ataste for “spectacular” cases andunfortunately he set a trend for a smallclique of Spanish judges. They were reinedin by the High Court a couple of years backafter they tried to open cases against top USmilitary men and a couple of politicians fortheir role in setting up the prison camp atGuantanamo Bay in Cuba and to bringgenocide charges against a couple of Israeligenerals for attacks on the Palestinians.

What many people forget isGarzon’s close association withthe Socialist Party. He was actually

elected to Parliament on the Socialist ticketin 1993 but resigned, he says, because hefelt Felip Gonzalez's government was nottaking corruption seriously enough. His

detractors say he fell out with Gonzalezbecause he wasn't given the Justiceministry. So far all of his targets – apart fromFranco – have been members of the PartidoPopular and political observers have longwondered if Garzon would pursue acorruption case involving Socialists – andthere are plenty of them out there – with thesame zeal he showed in the Gürtel case.

A lowering of tone

I’m not referring to tone as in “class” butas in decibels. I couldn’t help but noticethe difference between the Socialists and

the PP on Sunday, when Socialist Partyleader hopeful Carme Chacon hectored arally of her supporters, literally shoutingthat Rajoy should be here at home, solvingthe country’s problems instead of inGermany licking Merkel’s feet or kowtowingto the EU in Brussels. Actually, Carme, hewas there trying to restore the faith in Spainthat your beloved ex-leader lost.

Meanwhile the PP’s secretarygeneral, Maria Dolores deCospedal was telling another

meeting that the government’s economicmeasures were being well-received abroad,especially in France and Germany and bythe European Commission. She said it wasobvious that Spain now has a “seriousgovernment and a serious way of doingthings”. She also said: “It’s absolutelyincredible that the Socialists dare give uslessons, criticising the government whenthey are responsible for the situation thecountry is now in.” Without raising hervoice above a normal speaking tone, sheadded that both aspiring Socialistcontenders – Rubalcaba and Chacon – areseeking success by “criticising the PPgovernment, boycotting the government ofSpain and not offering any alternative tohelp solve the disaster they left behind”.

The problems with juriesEnd of the line

Francisco Camps says he left theValencia regional premier’s officewith the same amount of money in

his bank account he had when he firstarrived in 2003. The now-absolvedPartido Popular (PP) member gave hisfirst interview on Monday night after hisacquittal last week in the so-called “suit-gate” case. He appeared onIntereconomia’s PP-leaning political talkshow El gato al agua (The cat in thewater) where he defended hisadministration, including the €17.6billion debt Valencia owed at the end of2010. Camps says that many politicianswho come to office leave with massivebank accounts – that wasn’t his case. Hechallenged anyone, includingprosecutors, to look at his own personalwealth to see if he received one euromore than he was entitled to when heresigned last July following hisindictment on charges that he receivedsome €14,000 worth of dress suits from agroup of corrupt businessmen popularlyknown as the Gürtel network.

Ajury acquitted Camps and theformer PP secretary general inValencia, Ricardo Costa, last

Wednesday after they deliberated formore than two days over the allegationsthat both men received fine gifts from theGürtel group as improper bribes, whichby law do not correspond with theirpublic office duties. It was an almostevenly split decision – a five-to-fourverdict in favour of Camps and Costa.Despite the jury’s decision, the evidencewas there. There were receipts frommen’s suit shops that had been altered;communications among those in theGürtel network that demonstratedCamps and Costa were getting gifts fromthe suspects involved in the massivepublic corruption case; testimony fromtailor José Tomás affirming that Campsnever paid for his own suits; and tapedtelephone conversations between Costaand Gürtel’s alleged point man inValencia, Álvaro Pérez, discussing giftsand other favours. What the five peopleon that jury saw that the rest of thecountry didn’t see will remain secret fornow. Jurors in Spain are not allowed togive interviews or even be publiclyidentified. What we do know was thatthere were certain members on thatpanel who seemed disinterested in thecase and, for the most part, paid littleattention to the testimony and evidencepresented by prosecutors. According toEl País reporters who sat in that

courtroom, at least two men – both onthe front row – took more notes duringthe defence’s arguments rather than theprosecution’s presentation.

It appears now there will be an appealby prosecutors, who will demand abench trial. The problem with holding

a jury trial in Camps’ own home region isthe lack of impartiality. There are manypeople who choose not to convict one oftheir own for the sake of dignity: theyprefer not to taint the good name of theirregion or jurisdiction by condemningone of their own. The Partido Popular hasalways had sweeping victories in Valenciafor the past 16 years; there should havebeen a change of venue in the trial. Therewas no way – both the defence andprosecution could have argued – thatCamps and Costa would have gotten afair trial just based on the publicity in thecase.

Jury trials in many countries are fairand are made available to defendantsbecause they are the most

unprejudiced way to determine aperson’s innocence or guilt. But it is truethat in many nations, such as Spain, thepublic is pretty politicised and there canbe difficulties in finding impartial peopleto sit on a jury. Under common law,candidates called to serve are putthrough the “voir dire” process whereprosecutors and the defence attorneyscan single out and even object to certainpeople because of their political beliefs,prior knowledge about the case, and eventheir religious backgrounds. There is nodoubt that the voir dire process in Spainisn’t one of the strongest points in thenation’s judicial system.

After the acquittals, newspapercolumnists began screaming forwhat they called “a professional

trial” (in other words, a bench trial)rather than a jury trial. The suit-gate caseisn’t over for Camps and Costa nor arethere legal problems. There is nowsurmounting evidence that the Gürtelnetwork provided the PP in Valencia withtons of money in illegal contributionsover the years before the allegedconspiracy was broken in 2009.Prosecutors no doubt will get a secondchance at putting both men back in dock.Double jeopardy, you might ask?Perhaps not. In an archaic legal structuresuch as Spain’s judicial system, anythingis possible.

Letter From A Broad down underLast week I focused on the Huon Highway and parts of Hobart itself. This week, there’s alittle more about Hobart and then a fascinating area called Port Arthur.

Still in Tasmania(previously called VanDiemen’s Land), the lastbits I wanted to tell youabout Hobart will start witha place called Battery Point,some photos are above onthe left.This area is prettymuch as it has been foryears with quaint tea shops,little craft shops, artistsstudios and houses kept tothe true Victorian style ofthis small area of Hobartwith the preserved cottageslining streets to wanderalong and admire. There area couple of particularly nicetea, coffee and cake shops,one of which makeseverything on the premisesso the pies, tarts and cakesare not all a uniform sizeand shape wrapped incellophane but resemblewhat you would have foundon a lovely old fashionedcake plate at yourgrandmother’s in timesgone by. Well worth waitinglunch for! There are alsosome rather nicerestaurants up there fordinner in the evenings.

Hunter Street heritagebuildings (where we stayed)marks the original positionof the Old Wharf whenTasmania was firstsettled.The whole town isoverlooked by MountWellington where you cantake a trip to the top at

12771 metres, and admirethe views over the city andbeyond from its WorldHeritage Area. Here you canwalk and cycle for hours (it’seasy to hire bikes – they alsohave electric bikes for hire ifyou’re not quite thatenergetic – and motorbikesas well as cars).Another place that’s well

worth a visit is the BotanicalGardens with all the localflora, oriental gardens, ABCGardening Australia’sveggie patch – not quiteyour local allotment! – andtheir amazing subantarctichouse.

Last week, I promised totell you about Port Arthur.

The Pydairrerme peoplewere the traditional ownersof the land that is now PortArthur and Middens andother cultural sites stillremain from manythousands of years ago.

The Port Arthur penalstation was established in1830 as a timber camp andthe labour was extremelyhard using the convicts forlogging and preparation oftimber for governmentprojects. But in 1833 a newradical design of penalreform was introduced byEnglish prison reformerJeremy Bentham and hisideas were used at the “New

Pentonville Penitentiary” inEngland.This new idea wasadopted at Port Arthur andit was the original prison onTasmania where re-offending prisoners weresent to for one last chance.Obviously, with Tasmaniabeing an island – eventhough it is quite huge –once there it was a bitdifficult to abscond. If theyfancied trying to escape therip tides are such that it wasmade virtually impossible.There were some whomanaged it, but very fewremained at large evenwhen they did escape.

So, Port Arthur was setup as a rehabilitation centreof sorts. The idea was thatthe prisoners should bemade to be productive insociety and it was describedas “a machine for grindingrogues into honest men”. Tothat end, when a prisoner(not forgetting they hadalready been transportedfrom the UK away fromeverything they knew) hadserved their time in say,Melbourne, Sydney orAdelaide, and then beencaught re-offending theywere sentenced by the thenmagistrates and judges tobe sent off to Tasmania.

In the early days of thepenal settlement, convictswere housed in rough

timber huts. They weretaught to be blacksmiths,shoemakers, shipbuilders,and the more adept at thethree “R’s” becameaccountants, architects andteachers themselves. If theprisoners were unruly, theywere further punished bybeing locked in a cell, insolitary confinement withno contact with the outsideworld and no lightwhatsoever – what todaywe call sensory deprivation.Many men were broken bythis and, when released,ended up in the asylumnext door.

Young boys were kept ona separate island calledPoint Puer Boys’ Prison (forthose of you who learntLatin at school, you’ll knowthat Puer means “boy”)from the adults so that theydidn’t pick up any worsehabits while beingincarcerated. This part ofthe prison operatedfrom1834 to 1949 and wasthe first purpose-builtreformatory for boys in theBritish Empire. Most of theboys were aged between 14and 17 but some were asyoung as nine years old. Itwas renowned for itsregime of stern disciplineand hard punishment but italso taught the boys to readand write and taught thema trade so that when they

were eventually releasedthey could make a living forthemselves and not returnto a life of crime. There aremany stories of the boysfrom this small islandsetting up businesses upontheir release. Theirdescendents are to this dayin the area – pillars ofsociety and highly regardedbusinessmen in the tradesstarted by their criminalancestors.

Another island just offthe main shore is the Isle OfThe Dead where between1837 and 1877 around 1100people were buried. TheIsle Of The Dead is the finalresting place of not only theconvicts but also those wholived and worked at thesettlement. The mostcommon cause of deathsamong the convicts wereindustrial accidents andrespiratory diseases.

By 1840, the colonyhoused more than 2000convicts, soldiers and civilstaff and, with the end ofconvict transportation in1853 it became aninstitution for ageing andphysically or mentally illconvicts to call their homeuntil it finally closed in1877. Since then, many ofits buildings have beendestroyed in bush fires butthe area has now become a

place of peace and quiet,with beautiful gardens andsomewhere to reflect on therights or wrongs of previouspenal systems and theirtreatment of their charges.

Port Arthur was a harshplace to be sent to but, forsome, it turned their livesaround so that they becameuseful members of society.And in most cases theywere far better off here thanin Wandsworth or otherBritish prisons at the time.

On Sunday 28th April1996 a tragic chapter wasadded to Port Arthur’shistory when a gunmantook the lives of 35 peopleand wounded 19 others onthe historic site includingmembers of the site’s staff.A memorial garden hasbeen built – including theshell of the Broad ArrowCafé where 20 people werekilled during the massacre–created as a place ofremembrance, with allthose involved (except thegunaman) named, and aplace of reflection on howfragile life can be.

Next week I’ll tell youabout Zoodoo, my favouriteplace and how to get to,from and around theisland, plus a place to stay.

BREEDThe next step is to considerwhat type of breed will suityou. Think about yourlifestyle, size of home,facilities for exercise andtime available. Does yourtenancy or leaseholdagreement allow pets ? Askabout different breeds atyour local vet or dogtraining club. Ask otherowners of the breed thatyou are considering, fortheir advice and opinions.Meet dogs of all ages andboth sexes of your chosenbreed. This will give you anidea of what to expect.Research the breed byreading books and gain asmuch information as

possible. When you havemade your choice of breed,contact the breed clubsecretary through the localSpanish Kennel Club (Tel2290237 Manuel). Insist onseeing the mother and, ifpossible the father with thepuppies. You should haveeasy access to the puppiesand be able to handle them.Request a writtenagreement that thepurchase is subject to asatisfactory examination byyour veterinary surgeonwithin 48 hours ofpurchase. If you are unsureabout buying the rightpuppy, make enquires withthe local vet to see if he iswilling to attend the

viewing to check the puppyfor visible health problems– this could save moneyand upset in the long-term.As quoted by the RSPCAand National CanineDefence League " Neverbuy a dog from a pet shopor any retail outlet . Nevertake one from streetmarkets, or from any placewhere you cannot see themother." Visit your localAnimal Rescue Society foradvice and to discuss theoptions of adopting arescue dog or puppy. AllAnimal Rescue Shelters areobligated to furnish youwith a signed VeterinaryHealth Certificate.Like humans, dogs need

company, so do not leavehim alone all day. Dogs thatbecome lonely and boredare more likely to bark andbecome destructive. If youreally care for your dog youwill train him properly andlearn that play is one of themost essential ingredientsin a good owner.

You can still make a differenceThere has long beenconfusion about whetheryou can still vote in UKelections even though youare no longer living there.Many of us still havehouses that are rented out,and a majority of us stillhave bank accounts in theUK too. What happensthere, even though we areno longer residents, canaffect us in some cases to alarge extent. Britishnationals are thereforequite right in believing thatthey should be allowed tohave their say in what theUK government does and,contrary to common belief,

just because you’ve movedto Spain it doesn’t meanthat you can’t vote.British citizens living

overseas are entitled to beregistered to vote in UKparliamentary elections forup to 15 years in theconstituency they wereregistered in before leavingthe UK. They are notentitled to vote in UK localelections or elections to thedevolved assemblies.You can find details of

the background to theprovisions relating tooverseas voters in theRepresentation of thePeople Act 1985 which was

subsequently amended bythe Representation of thePeople Act 1989 and thePolitical Parties, Electionsand Referendums Act 2000.Information is also givenabout the procedure forregistering to vote as anoverseas elector and themeans of voting, either bypost or by proxy.There are different

arrangements for thearmed forces and these arecovered in LibraryStandard NoteSN/PC/4276, Armed forcesvoting. All theseinformation sheets can befound on line.

Every week we at The Newshear of people beingrobbed or conned in someway or another.

There has been aninternet site set up as aneighbourhood watch typeof idea that has someextremely useful hints tokeep you safe that we shallbe publishing over the nextfew weeks but, for now,here are just a few ways tokeep yourselves safer andat less risk.

Out and about

1. Keep your belongingsin sight.2. Keep hold of your

handbag and protect yourwallet on public transportand in crowded areas suchas street markets,performances, etc.

3. Take care of yourcamera phone and videocamera in recreationalareas.4. Only take your

essentials when you go tothe beach or go to theswimming pool.5. If you are using a

vehicle, lock all valuablesaway and keep them out ofsight.6. As far as possible,

avoid isolated or badly litplaces.7. Beware of suspicious

offers of ‘help’ (‘help’relating to problems withyour car, stains on yourclothes etc). Thieves knowhow to use clever tricks inorder to rob you.8. Do not take part in

gambling or buy ‘bargains’in the street. It will nearlyalways be a confi dencetrick or a swindle.

At your hotel or privateaccomodation

1. Do not leave keys,money, or other valuableslying around to be seen.Make use of a safe.2. In communal areas

such as reception,restaurants, swimmingpools) take care of your

luggage and personalbelongings such ashandbags, cameras etc.

Taking pets into the UK

On Monday the 23rd ofJanuary the Lux Mundi,Torre del Mar, ́ Half OrangeGroup´ (Widows,Widowers and Singles)visited the white village ofTorrox. They were blessed

with a glorious sunny dayand were met by a memberof the Tourist Office whogave them a guided tour ofthe village.

The history of the villagedates back to the 12thcentury, settled by theArabs. The narrow streetswind through the villagewhere can still be seen theoriginal buildings andarchitecture. The Arabssurrendered the village tothe Christians in 1487 andthere are 16 ceramicplaques, situated throughthe village depicting thehistory and events thattook place. Annually thereis a prize given for the mostbeautiful street decoratedwith flowers and on theSunday before Christmasthe ´Migas´ Festival isheld, the dish ofbreadcrumbs, flour, oliveoil, mutton and chorizo,being consumed by many,along with the local wine.

The friends had lunch inthe picturesque squareoverlooked by the churchof “La Encarnacion”, builton the foundations of theold mosque. Then time forhome to look forward totheir next event or trip.

Don’t bury your head!We have all been there, done that but where does it get you? It makes you even

more stressed out and you’ll end up being ill with the worry.When you don’t know the systems in a country, even if you do know how to speak thelanguage, living here can be not just worrying but downright frightening. So, what dowe do? We bury our heads under the duvet and worry ourselves sick about how muchit’s going to cost to sort out whatever problem we may have. Often, these things areeasy and inexpensive to sort out. Don’t go to someone who’s going to charge you a

fortune for something that can so easily be fixed - The News Help Desk may well beable to sort it out for you at a far lesser cost so, starting from the week beginningFebruary 20thThe News will be offering a service where you can come for advice on

how to deal with any problems you may have in connection with living in Spain. The News Help Desk will run on three days each week (one of which will be

Saturday) between the hours of 10.30am and 12.30pm and any queries we can’t dealwith there and then, we will make enquiries about using an excellent team of experts

that we have come to respect over several years of knowing them.Our main translator, Duncan Burrell will already be known to many of you and,between us we have over 45 years of experience living and working in Spain plus

sorting out our own problems and therefore knowing the systems.

If you can’t wait until February 20th, call us here at The News in the first instanceon 952 454 491 - and let us help you to be able to see a light at the end of the

tunnel at last!

INSIDE THIS WEEK


Your outlook on the World nOut & About 17the ewsn

The original village ofBenalmadena,perched on the

hillside some 280 metresabove the Mediterrean seasparkling below it, datesback to Moorish times withtypical whitewashed housesand narrow cobbled streets.In true Andalusian style itboasts a popular andimpressive bullring regularlyfrequented by locals andvisitors looking for a flavourof “the real Spain” (if you

consider it acceptable,personally I don't). Butthese days the village,already home to people ofmany nationalities, offerssome very different delights.

Our first home inSpain was in “thepueblo”, a small

retreat used for extendedholidays, purchased in 2000.The longer-term residentswere complaining thenabout the amount of

construction that hadchanged its character, andnot for the better – thoughthere was still campo belowand above to walk throughin the springtime admiringthe flowers. Gradually thishas been eroded so that nowit is hard to see where Arroyode la Miel ends and thevillage begins and the hillsall around are covered inseried terraces oftownhouses, villas andapartments.

Happily the so-called“developers” couldnot spoilt the heart

of the village whose narrowstreets remain vituallyunchanged. The main roadleading though it is still one-way and controlled by atraffic light, allowing driverstantalising glimpses ofattractive little paved streetsand balconies adorned withflowers. It is well worthfinding a spot to leave thecar and explore on foot –there is a car park on the leftas you come up from Arroyoand another smaller one(next to the lift) going downthe hill to the coast. Walkdown the Calle Real past theplashing fountain, pass thelittle park and continue untilyou come out in the Plaza deEspana – a small squaresurrounded by tapas barsand restaurants whoseterraces spill out under theorange trees, a great place tosit and “people watch”.Here, in the centre of thecircular flowerbed in themiddle of the square is “LaNina”, the statue of the littlegirl which is the emblem ofBenalmadena. And very fewvisitors will leave withouthaving their picture takenwith her!

From the square walkdown Calle SantoDomingo de Guzman

– immaculate little housesline the route and you passhotel La Fonda (lookthrough the huge woodendoor at its charming internalAndalucian patio). Thehotel houses a cateringschool where on certaindays of the week you can eata lunch to remember – justmake sure you are hungryand don't be in a hurry toleave! At the end is theChurch of Santo Domingowhich sits on the edge of arocky outcrop almost likethe prow of a ship. From theterrace which runs all roundthe church there arestunning views of the sea,the coast, and themountains behind, andplenty of seating to take theweight off weary feet. Belowthe terrace are delightfulgardens leading down to thestreet below.

The older part of thevillage has managedto keep its charm

despite the once seeminglyendless march of concretefrom all sides. But the yearshave also brought some newand somewhat differentattractions.

First there is thearcheologicalmuseum on the main

road which houses afascinating and importantcollection of pre-Columbianrelics including thosedonated by the well-knownanthropologist and artistFelipe Orlando-GarciaMurciano. It has thereputation of being one ofthe best collections frombefore the time ofChristopher Columbus inEurope.

Dedicated to thediscovery of Americaand Cristobal Colon

is the curious Castillo deColomares just down the hillfrom the centre of thevillage, looking likesomething that has escapedfrom Disney World. With itsmixture of architecturalstyles and the smallestchurch in the world(dedicated to St Elizabeth ofHungary) it was builtbetween 1987 and 1994 bylocal bricklayers from Mijasafter the ideas of theimaginative – andpresumably rather rich –DrEsteban Martin.

Then looking up to thevillage from the coastyou can easily pick out

the huge golden copula ofthe Benalmadena Stupa –the largest Buddhistmonument in the western

world sited just outside thevillage. The dazzling whitestupa is 33 metres high andfilled with sacred objectswhich are forever sealed intotreasure chambers. A 100square metre meditationroom inside is lined withmurals painted by artistsfrom Nepal to represent thelife story of the BuddhaSakyamui. Visitors arewelcome every day exceptMondays when it is closed.

And the most recentattraction is the“Mariposario” or

butterfly farm – the largestclimate controlled spacededicated to butterflies inEurope (for a small puebloBenalmadena certainlyhouses a lot of superlatives).Visitors could be forgiven forthinking they were inThailand rather than Spainjudging by the architecturenot to mention the exoticsurroundings. Thousandsof gorgeous and delicatewings and equally colourfulorchids are containedwithin the 2,000 squaremetre park, a far cry fromthe brashness and bustle ofthe costa below.

You can find lots ofinformation aboutBenalmadena pueblo

on the internet, in Englishand Spanish. Trywww.benalmadena.comand www.benalmadena-arroyo.com (there are somewonderful old photographson the latter site too).Whatever the weather youcan find something ofinterest in this still charmingand fascinating village.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR CROSSWORD SUDOKU CULTURE & LEISURE FOOD & DRINKHOROSCOPES

MagazineMOVIE SPOTLIGHT By Amy Thomas

Two big hitters are up forOscar best actress glory thisyear – and both are inmovies which have split thecritics.

Meryl Streep gives ascarily good account ofMargaret Thatcher, and hotmoney is on her taking theBest Actress award, butopinion has been split overGlenn Close's performanceas a man in Albert Nobbs.Close, a five-time Oscarnominee, first played Nobbson stage off-Broadway 30

years ago and has long beentrying to bring the story tothe big screen. Not onlydoes she star, but also has ascreenplay credit. For somethe movie has proved to bea thought-provoking andemotional tale of animpoverished woman in19th century Ireland whochooses to assume theidentity of a man as the onlyway of living her life.

The charade threatens tocollapse 30 years later whenNobbs falls in love with a

woman. The scene is ashabby-genteel hotel inDublin, run by a self-important owner,played byPauline Collins, andpeopled with somecolourful characters,including alcoholic doctorBrendan Gleeson.

The very proper andconscientious butler AlbertNobbs keeps himself tohimself and during the filmwe discover why thecharacter felt she had tomasquerade as a man in

order to survive life. It'sundoubtedly well acted,and Janet McTeer has beennominated for a bestsupporting actress gong forplaying another cross-dressing woman.

Some movie scribes havesaid it's a mix of UpstairsDownstairs with TheBirdcage, but without anygood songs. Close's make-up looks good and the role isa challenge – probably onefor Glenn Close fansthough.

The SilentMajority?

Liam Neeson's "The Grey"topped the weekend boxoffice with $20 million,according to studioestimates on Sunday,continuing the actor'ssuccess as an action star.

The Alaskan survivalistthriller opened aboveexpectations with aperformance on par withprevious Neeson thrillers"Taken" and "Unknown."Those films, both January-February releases, openedwith $24.7 million and $21.9million, respectively.

But the R-rated "TheGrey," which has receivedgood reviews, drove homethe strong appeal ofNeeson, action star. It's anunlikely turn for the 59-year-old Neeson, previouslybetter known for his

dramatic performances,like those in "Schindler'sList" and "Kinsey."

"Liam is a true moviestar, period," said TomOrtenberg, CEO of OpenRoad Films. "My guess isthat Liam Neeson in actionthrillers would work justabout any time of year."

It's the second releasefor the newly formeddistributor, created bytheatre chains AMC andRegal.

MOVIE NEWSKate Beckinsale just gets hotterand hotter

MOVIE NEWS

Kate Beckinsale is back asthe vinyl-clad vamp Selenein the newly released"Underworld Awakening."Beckinsale sat out the thirdfilm in the series, 2009's"Rise of the Lycans,"because it was a prequelthat took place beforeSelene was born. But shesuited up again for thefourth instalment, whichfinds her caught in a newwar between vampires andhumans.

Selene – death-dealerturned girlfriend of Michael

Corvin, the onlylycan/vampire hybrid ever– is on the run and about toget out of the city with herlover when a bunch ofJudge Dredd-style anti-monster cops show up andblow their plans all to hell.Selene wakes up in a freezerbox in a lab and promptlybusts out, killing the usualdozen guards along theway, only to discover thatit’s now a decade later, boththe lycan and vampireclans are all but wiped outand Michael is long gone.

Albert Nobbs Over the past few weeksthe movie on every-

body’s award list is “TheArtist”, it seems to be awinner with critics acrossthe globe – so, now it’s myturn.

In this day and age, who intheir right mind would

decide to make a silentmovie? The answer is, theFrench. I’ve always thoughtthat an actor is only asgood as the script, forexample Robert Deniro, tryto have a conversationwith him without a scriptand what have you got –nothing. This is one of thereasons why Hollywoodcould never pull off amovie like “The Artist”,because Hollywood actorsin general can’t act withouta script.

Let’s get started. I like thismovie, it’s different.

Jean Dujardin had thatperiod look, hisperformance was brilliantand Uggie the dog was anabsolute scene stealer.There was a short scenethat I found slightly Lynchinspired (it’s the nightmarebit – you’ll know it whenyou see it). The story isGeorge Valentin (Dujardin)and his dog are the bestsilent actors in the businessand Pepper Miller wants tobe an actress. Pepper getson set as an extra andmeets George, he gives hera trademark and they gotheir separate ways.However, talking picturesare now all the fashion and

George refuses to partake,while Pepper is making aname for herself as a risingstar.

More happens, butyou’ll have to watch it

to find out. Now, here aremy problems with “TheArtist”. Pepper Miller – Idon’t like her, I don’t likeher at all. First off she lookstoo modern, secondly Ididn’t much care for hergung-ho character. Whenyou look back at real silentmovies, actresses had asoft look, an innocence likePickford’s or vampish likeTheda Bara, Bejo( Pepper)lacked both and lookedwrong for the period.Which brings us to herattitude, with big armgestures and shaking legmovements that seemedrather odd, like she wastrying too hard to be aflapper. She was like a catin a hamster cage, youknow that there should besomething furry in there,just not that big.

The verdict then is thus,“The Artist” is a novelty

movie and perhaps in timeit may become a cultclassic, but I doubt it. It’spopular because silentmovies are a thing of thepast, and people will go tosee because it’s different –however, it fails with youngaudiences because youngpeople don’t want towatch silent movies, theywant cheesy dialogue andspecial effects. “The Artist”has kind of shot itself in thefoot, the novelty of thismovie is what will bringthe crowds in, but it is thesame thing that will turnthem away.

Some people will lovethis movie, I liked it, but

it’s not made it into my top100, some people won’tlike it at all. Let’s make thiseasy, if you like “Avatar”you’ll hate “The Artist” , butif you hate “Avatar” there ishope for you yet.

Lets face it life has been hectic so it isn’t much surprise that you need some time to‘just be’ and do nothing. Of course the only way you will be able to truly relax is torealise that the world is not going to end just because you take a couple of daysout. There is a focus on finances at the beginning of the week and you will belooking out for bargains. After you have taken some well needed rest socialactivities start to heat up for the weekend.

Your life is on the move again with the focus this week on commitments, contractsand new patterns that allow you to break away from the past. You may be dreamingbig now and there is no reason if you are impeccable in following through why youshould not be able to capitalise on this luck. So get busy Taurus, the old ways justwon’t work anymore, so this will push you to get even more creative in your efforts.Take advantage of unexpected opportunities as they appear.

You could feel an air of detachment in a certain arduous process but if you are insomething for the long haul then you have to remain open and humble enoughto learn. You may have to admit you could be wrong in some instance and riseabove any anger or negativity out there. If something inspires you, hit the groundrunning and do not stop, anything you do will have amplified effects. You have thepower in you to lead the way and set the right example by others.

Your feelings and senses are so tuned in that you could teach many of the othersigns about living from the heart. You will be making mental sense of an emotionalprocess this week when you realise that some matters are beyond your ability tocontrol. Roll with whatever happens and be ready to adapt to any kind of situation.This is a creative and inspirational time when new ideas and inventions come tothe fore, believe in yourself - you could make a fortune

Your relationship with someone special starts to lighten up, they appear tosoften and become more receptive to your love and your presence. All thatholds meaning and value will be up for review and the things that once rockedyour world may not carry the same buzz any longer. There could be someconflicts between the home life and your career that need to be worked outand this could make you feel vulnerable until this is resolved.

As I said previously you are being given time, perhaps more than you would like,but this time will prove to be a great friend. You are highly motivated now toknock out whatever has been causing you stress and strain and you are ready toface it head on like a warrior in mid fight, you are ready for combat On the otherhand there is a part of you that is softening towards someone to whom previouslyyou were defensive.

Others are checking you out, the spotlight is shining brightly upon you, the key iswhat others consider work you consider to be art and are therefore enjoying yourdaily life. You have been carried forward so fast you have been able to forget howlong you were struggling and suffering. Someone has been stopped in their tracksbecause of you and they want what you have got to give. Timing is everything andthis is your time.

There comes a point when dreams have to be turned into reality, this is ‘use it orlose it’ time so get knuckled down to business. You have to remain focused andkeep on the positive side of things. The skills you have acquired over the last fewyears will allow you to rise to the challenges put before you. You could be lookingback to the past and realising how incredible the old days were, use this asinspiration to ground your dreams now.

You have played the game, batted the ball and hit it as far and as hard as you could,now all you have to do for now is be patient, wait, watch and see where it lands andhow the game is going to finish. This is your moment to surrender to larger forcesout there and let go, there is no more that you can do, the waiting game issomething you are not good at doing, so try to distract yourself by indulging in somesocial moments.

Although you have been highly productive lately, this week sees you slowing downand backing off. You may have been so intently moving in one direction that theuniverse is requiring you to slow down your pace so that important details are notoverlooked. Two steps forward, one step back can save a boatload of time in theend. Replays of the past may occur but it is in your interest not to even try anddefend yourself, just walk away.

There is a lingering memory of the hard road in the rear view mirror but an evenstronger influence replaces it now, it is one of the bright potential that lies ahead. Itis a new world and a new game and you are beginning to imagine yourself literallycrossing a threshold of visible change. You have a chance to circle back and get itright, your turn of celebration will come but for now, do not rub it in the nose of others– you turn for pure joy is coming soon.

An unwanted weight is leaving you, no matter what happens you are able to risehigher than any of the struggles and difficulties that have occurred and find a senseof peace within. There are chaos and changes afoot and all of this will bring youback to the point that unless your needs are taken care of you are unable to helpothers. So the lesson this week is ‘self first’ keep your body strong by nourishing itand being in the company of those that simply love you for being who you are.

LESSON

SPANISH

POCO A POCOBy Valerie Mitchell

Valerie runs the Centro Idiomas Language School in Coin.Her books, “The First Twelve Shortcuts to Spanish” , “The Second Twelve Shortcuts to Spanish” (€5 each) and“The Verb Book” (€7) are available from The News office in Coin, Woody’s Cards and Books in Los Boliches,David’s Books in Los Boliches or by email from [email protected] . Valerie's books can now be boughtfrom her website - www.cslspain.com or call 952 450 747.

Quite a few years ago my first article on learning Spanish featured the verb Poderexplaining how one uses puedo - I can/I am able plus any other verb.

Puedo ver la montaña - I can see the mountain.No puedo hacer el trabajo - I can't do the work.¿Puedo vender el coche? - Can I sell the car?

We've come a long way since then but Poder remains an extremely useful little verb.

Let's begin with a proverb : Querer es poder which literally means To want to is to be able to or aswe would say in English Where there's a will there's a way.

Then there's the expression for when you've had enough of somethingNo puedo màs - I can't take any more. It can be applied to situatons,the weather and even food and drink.

¿Se puede? means May I? and is used in places where you are asking permissionfor example to enter a place or in a café asking if a seat is free.

No puede ser means That cannot be or It's impossible and will be usedwhen you are finding it hard to believe what you are seeing or being told.No me digas, no puede ser - You're kidding, it's not possible.

El poder is the power and poderoso means powerful. We hear people(usually older people) speaking of Dios todopoderoso All powerful (Almighty) God.

The times are a-changing so we will end with another proverb which says it allPoderoso caballero es Don Dinero. Literally Mr. Money is a powerfulgentleman.Or as we would put it - Money makes the world go around.

Ya está - That's it Hasta el próximo - Until next time.

Everything is possible

The 2012 Screen Actors GuildAwards had few surprises onSunday night, both in awardrecipients and red carpetappearances. ‘The Help’ tookhome several honoursincluding the prize for bestperformance by a cast in amotion picture, andindividual honours for starsViola Davis and OctaviaSpencer. The win gives “TheHelp” a nice boost headinginto the Academy Awardsnext month, where it will facethe Golden Globe-winningfilms“The Artist” and “The

Descendants.”

Viola Davis also had asartorial victory. The actresswore a white silk chiffongown by Marchesa with golddetailing, the AssociatedPress reports. Sarah AnneHughes, writer forCelebritology ranked thelook at the top of the bestdressed of the evening:

“Do I need to tell you whythis is No. 1? Davis truly ruledthe night, on and off thecarpet. (She won an acting

honor for her role in “TheHelp.”) The hair, the colour,the perfect accessories — Ilove everything about thislook.”

Mary Tyler Moore receivedthe lifetime achievementaward. Dick Van Dyke, whoco-starred in “The Dick VanDyke Show” with Moore inthe 1960s, presented the 75-year-old actress with theaward. In her speech, Mooreexplained how she addedher middle name Tyler todistinguish herself from the

other six Mary Mooresalready in the Guild. “I was Mary Tyler Moore. Ispoke it out loud. Mary TylerMoore. It sounded right so Iwrote it down on the form,and it looked right,” she said.“It was right. SAG was happy,my father was happy, andtonight, after having theprivilege of working in thisbusiness among the mostcreative and talented peopleimaginable, I too am happy,after all.”

Steve Carell received one of

the only obvious snubs ofthe night, losing to AlecBaldwin, who took best actorfor “30 Rock” for the sixth yearin a row, Hughes notes:

It’s Bittar darling!Fashionistas Patsy andEdina are starring in theNew York designer’s wintercampaign to promote hisexclusive jewellery.

Alexis Bittar, who wonthe CFDA (Council ofFashion Designers ofAmerica) AccessoryDesigner of the Year in 2010is best known for hiscollection of modernistLucite jewellery.

His designs, which arehandmade by artisans inBrooklyn have featured onthe front cover of many ofthe high profile fashionmagazines and his clientsinclude US First LadyMichelle Obama.

French designer Lacroixbecame a household nameafter the Ab Fab duo keptendorsing him in thetelevision series (“It’s

Lacroix, darling!”) and nodoubt Bittar is hoping theywill work the same magicfor him.

And just to keep theworld of television andfashion even closer, StellaMcCartney has agreed toappear in the new series ofAb Fab – rumour has it that

Edina and Patsy will bevisiting the Stella store.Time for some more Bollydarlings!

Rather than sit hunchedover the screen as if it werea laptop, the tablet shouldbe raised to a higher level –ideally on a table – with asmart cover propping it atan angle.

Researchers fromHarvard School of PublicHealth, Microsoft andBrigham and Women’sHospital took 15experienced tablet users

and asked them tocomplete a set of tasks,such as Internet browsing,game playing, moviewatching and emailing,with both the Apple iPad 2and Motorola Xoom.

Both have cases that canbe adjusted to tilt thecomputer – the AppleSmart Cover and theMotorola Portfolio Case.Four ways of using the

screens were tested: placedon the lap, using the lapcase at its lowest setting,on a table with the case atits lowest setting and on atable with the case at itshighest angle. Theresearchers found that thehead and neck were ingeneral flexed more thanfor traditional desktop ornotebook computing – andonly when the deviceswere used on the table,

with the cases set at theirsteepest angle, did users’posture approach“neutral”.

The downside, however,is that use of steeper anglesmay affect the arms andwrists. The researchers saidfurther studies to examinethe effects of tabletconfiguration on arm andwrist postures are neededto clarify the best posture.

Over the years, researchershave found that weight gainand moderate to severeacne go hand in hand,particularly among youngwomen. It is not entirelyclear why, but excesshormones most likely playa role. In the most recentstudy – involving around3,600 teenagers –researchers looked closelyat their weight and its

relation to their skin,factoring in severalvariables that could alsoplay a role, including age,puberty and diet. High-sugar junk foods are notonly linked to weight gainbut are also known toworsen acne. Afteradjusting for these andother factors that couldaffect acne risk, theresearchers found that

overweight or obeseteenagers – particularlyyoung women – were muchmore likely to develop acnethan normal-weightadolescents. Another studyof roughly 3,300schoolchildren, publishedin 2006 in The EuropeanJournal of Dermatology,reached similar results.Researchers have proposedseveral explanations for the

link. One is that an excess ofandrogens caused byobesity provokes acne. As towhy girls are more greatlyaffected than boys, it ispossible that having badskin and being overweightcause them greaterpsychological strain, whichin turn prompts the releaseof stress hormones thatonly worsen the problem,the researchers said.

Excessweightraises riskof acne

Blood pressure'should be measuredin both arms'Measuring blood pressurein both arms should beroutine because thedifference between left andright arm could indicateunderlying healthproblems, according to astudy review for TheLancet.

Although existingguidelines state that bloodpressure should bemeasured in both arms, it isnot often done. The armwith the higher pressurecan vary betweenindividuals, but it is thedifference between armsthat counts, the researchersfrom the Peninsula Collegeof Medicine and Dentistryat the University of Exeterconcluded, after reviewing28 previous study paperslooking at this area. Mostpeople in the study had an

elevated blood pressurerisk and about one-thirdhad a normal level of risk.The researchers found thata large difference couldmean an increased risk ofperipheral vascular disease(PVD), which is thenarrowing and hardeningof the arteries that supplyblood to the legs and feet.There are often nosymptoms.

Early detection of PVD isimportant because thesepatients could then benefitfrom stopping smoking,lowering their bloodpressure or being offeredstatin therapy. Aspokesman for the BloodPressure Association saidthe study reinforced themessage already in theguidelines from healthwatchdog NICE.

Our Sun is a star. Itis not ‘burning’,

it’s not ‘on fire’, butinstead it is like agiant nuclear reactor.Inside its corehydrogen atoms arebeing fused togetherto make heliumatoms at the rate ofabout four milliontonnes per second.When each atom ofhelium is produced itgives off masses ofphoton energy thatmust slowly make its way through manylayers toward the surface. So slowly infact that after the photons have beenreleased at the centre of the Sun it cantake between 10,000 and 170,000 yearsfor them to reach the surface.

Once the photon eventually makes itsway onto the surface of the Sun it

finally escapes as visible light and heat,the light from the Sun takes about eightminutes to travel through space to reachthe Earth. The surface of the Sun is notsolid like the surface of the Earth; it is aswirling mass of unimaginable energyconstantly changing writhing andtwisting about. It also creates a giganticmass of charged magnetic areas.

These heavily charged magnetic areasappear as dark spots on the Sun and

are known as sunspots. Sunspots arehuge in size, much bigger than the Earthand although they appear as dark areas,they are only dark in relation to thesurrounding light from the Sun. If youcould isolate a sunspot from the Sun itwould still be shining extremely brightly.If the Sun is either very low down on thehorizon or obscured by thin cloud thensunspots can even be seen with thenaked eye and so their existence hasbeen known about for thousands of yearsbefore the invention of the telescope.

Sunspots always appear in pairs andwhen they appear huge loops of

material known as solar prominencestream from one of them out into spaceand then loop back into the other. Butsometimes the prominence is so big thatit snaps like a huge rubber band andinstead of looping back it throws thematerial out into the solar system at aspeed of a million miles an hour. Thismagnetic ‘wind’ then travels throughspace until it strikes the Earth 93 hourslater where it is attracted by our North

and South magnetic poles and producesthe Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

The Northern Lights can normally beseen only in the far north (and south)

regions of the Earth as bands or curtainsof multi-coloured lights dancing acrossthe sky. But recently the Sun has beenproducing far more intense sunspotsthat have caused the Northern Lights tobe seen much further south acrossnorthern England. Last week areas as farsouth as Birmingham have beenreporting seeing the Northern Lights.

It’s not unusual for sunspot activity tofall and rise. Sunspots generally have an11 year cycle when no sunspots are seenon the sun as it was a few years ago to thepeak that we are experiencing now wherethere are masses of huge sunspotslittering the surface. Although all thissolar activity will go unnoticed by mostpeople, it will cause you no harm at all; itcan be lethal for electrical systems andsatellites out in space. In the past it hasbeen known to knock out electricaltransmission pylons and other sensitiveelectrical systems. Precautions have to betaken to protect satellites in space toprevent them from overloading with allthis magnetic flux.

It is possible for you to see thesesunspots using a telescope orbinoculars. CAUTION: NEVER LOOKDIRECTLY AT THE SUN USING ATELESCOPE OR BINOCULARS! To lookat the sun safely use the projectionmethod. Point your telescope orbinoculars at the sun then hold a piece ofwhite card about 12” (30cm) behind thelens allowing the image of the sun to beprojected onto the card. Focus the imageonto the card and you will clearly see thedark sunspots scattered across thesurface.

Your outlook on the World nOpinion & Comment 27the ewsn

Without wishing to beboring, I wanted to add myagreement with people thathave written in over the lastcouple of weeks saying howmuch they have enjoyed therecent stories about youreditor’s travels.I am in my seventies and latelast year got on a plane forthe first time to visit my sonand his family in America. It

was a little daunting to saythe least to think of going thatfast, thousands of feet up inthe air but, with the help of acouple of tots of whisky andan extremely nice and helpfulstewardess, the experiencewasn’t as bad as I thought itwould be. I know your editorsaid in her comment lastweek that you are never tooold to explore and I’m living

proof of that. I had awonderful time and theworld is now my oyster.Keep up with the good workand I was pleased to see thatyou intend to carry on withthe “travelogues” fromaround the world. Whoknows where I shall end upnext!

Just lately our Sun seems to be going through aperiod of intense activity regarding Sunspots.

I had thought that maybe myfavourite paper had been hitby the recession as I couldn’tfind The News anywhere onWednesday but, Thursday,there it was and, what a relief!

The number of people I hadmet who were asking where it

was and all hoped to find itsomewhere was incredible soI thought I should write andtell you how much we missedit.

There are a group of us thatsit in our local café and do thepuzzles together and,

although the other papershave some, The News puzzlesand its content in general isfar superior so I’m glad it wasjust a technical hitch and Ilook forward to seeing it nextWednesday – keep up thegood work!

Penny Rotherham ManilvaI have been watching thevarious TV and Film awardceremonies that have beengoing on of late and wasamazed that the Americanshad that awful Ricky Gervaisback.Last year the man was rudebeyond belief and crass tothe nth degree. This year hewas not much betteralthough he made out thathe was going to behave

himself by reading out a listof things he had beenbanned from saying. In interviews he said hecouldn’t care less whatanyone thought of him andhe intended to say what heliked.Do we really need this sort ofperson on our screens? Ithink not and would turn thewhole programme off if Iwasn’t interested in seeing

who had won the awards so,can I send a plea via yournewspaper to theprogrammers to please giveus someone with a bit ofclass, politeness and whoactually gives a damn aboutthe industry.Mr Gervais, funny you arenot and I would suggest youget a job doing somethingelse!

John Clarke TorremolinosHope I’m not too late!I have just heard that theweather is going to turnpositively arctic this weekendhere on the Costa with it beingeven colder inland.The reason for my note is thatI wanted to remind everyonethat, with a spell as cold as it isforecast to be, plants are goingto fare very badly indeed if youdon’t cover them.I remember a cold snap a fewyears ago when I lost a lot ofexpensive little gems so,search out your attic, storerooms and garages for oldsheets that you’ve put asidefor when you’re doing somepainting and cover your plantswith them. You should be ableto save quite a few.Editor says: Thanks John forthe tip and better late thannever!

The Tru 140S is a three-door coupe that’ssomewhat reminiscent ofthe Hyundai Veloster andalso aims to be “anattractive-yet-affordablesports car”. Appearing inmatte-white with chromewheels and crossflag Chevyemblems, it’s conceived as

a sort of ‘mini exotic’ indesign. The front-wheel-drive 140S is based on theChevrolet Cruze platform.It includes direct injectionand engine start-stop,along with a 1.4-liter TurboEcotec four-cylinder

engine, for a fuel-economyrating of about 40 mpg.

Just as with thecompanion Code 130RConcept, the 140S is alsointended as a budget-priced entry, starting in thelow $20,000s range.

The Mugello circuit in Italy was awarded the title ‘Best Grand Prix 2011′, themost important award in the world of motorsports for organisers of MotoGPraces. The Ferrari race track was the best track worldwide amongst the circuitshosting World Championship races.

Fighting for 4th placein Group B in theAndalucian League this wasa “must-win” game for bothteams.

The first half was playedwith speed and strengthfrom both sides and whilstAxarquia had the lion�s shareof possession, they could notconvert their superiority intopoints and both teams wentinto the half time break, levelat 0-0.

The second halfcontinued in the same vein,with the superb defence ofMalaga holding out againstthe increasing pressure from

Axarquia. Into the last 15minutes, Axarquia scored atry in the corner throughsome great back play but thetry was disallowed and,instead, a penalty was givenfor an earlier infringementby Malaga – why the refereedid not play advantage is stilla mystery. Axarquia captain,Daniel Ward, converted thepenalty to give Axarquia a 3-0 lead.

Axarquia continued todominate and ran down theclock. With full-time up,Axarquia thought they hadsecured the victory but thereferee played anastonishing six minutes ofovertime for no obviousreason and, credit to Malaga,they kept playing and scoreda try with the last play of thegame to win 3-5. Malagatake away the 4 points forthe win and Axarquia earnthe bonus point for beingdefeated by less than 7points.This was a great game of

rugby, played by two greatteams with great spirit andskill, both of whom deservecredit and congratulationsfor putting on a display ofrugby rarely seen at thislevel. One seasonedsupporter reckoned it wasthe best technical display ofrugby that he has seenplayed at any level at the

Rock steady Robertlifts Abu Dhabi titleEngland’s Robert Rock wonhis head-to-head duel withTiger Woods to lift the AbuDhabi Championship titleon Sunday after the formerworld number one saved hisworst golf of the week for thefinal round.The two players started

the day in a tie for the leadand it was the little-knownRock who held his nerve onthe final day to collect asecond European Tourvictory with a closing 70 for275, 13 under.Woods had shown over

the first three days that the14-times major championwas back to his best but hisgame unravelled on Sundayas he faded to a 72 for 277,atthe demanding Abu DhabiGolf Club.World number three Rory

McIlroy (69) finished secondon 276 while Woods had tosettle for a share of third spot

with former U.S. Openchampion GraemeMcDowell (68), who had ahole-in-one at the 12th, andDane Thomas Bjorn (68).The bearded Rock, who

started the week 117th in therankings, was almostovercome with emotion afterlanding the Falcon Trophyand the first prize of 347,024euros (£289,590.75 ).Woods, seeking a 96th

tournament victory, wore histrademark final-day red shirtand was the clear favourite towin at the start of the round.However, the pinpointaccuracy he showed with hisirons and woods earlier inthe event suddenly gave wayto a succession of errors as hereached only one green inregulation in the openingeight holes.The 36-year-old

American was digging deepinto the memory banks,

producing a scramblingeffort on and around thegreens just to stay incontention for his firstvictory in a full-field event formore than two years."I had a chance to win the

tournament and I didn't doit," said Woods. "I was just atouch off today."Some of my shots went a

bit further than I thoughtthey would. A couple of mythree-woods went about 320yards and a couple of myeight-irons went about 180.”

The last word thoughwent to Rock ,"I really can'tbelieve I did that today," saidthe 34-year-old Englishmanafter another hot day in thedesert. "It is such an amazingfeeling."I was just happy to be

playing alongside Tiger, thatwas a special honour initself.”
