The Time Capsule in Coatbridge was officially opened by North

Lanarkshire Provost Tom Curley on Friday 14 January. It follows the completion of the first phase of £6 million refurbishment works.The new centre has proved to be a hit with the public, boasting over 40,000 visits since it opened in December. This represents an increase of 130% on the same period last year.Provost Curley said: “The Time Capsule looks fantastic and it’s great credit to everyone who worked hard to make it happen. It has a proud past and can look forward to an exciting future thanks to the improvements that have been made.“I’d like to congratulate everyone involved for making it such a success and look forward to seeing the centre continue to develop and the plans for the ice-rink coming to fruition.”To allow the extensive refurbishment work to take place, the centre was closed for just under a year. It now boasts a unique new attraction: Europe’s only indoor Tornado Tantrum slide. The thrilling 30 second slide, which was imported from Canada, can be enjoyed by up to four people at once.And Splashdown Island, the interactive play area is also proving a hit. It features Scotland’s largest tipping bucket, which takes seven minutes to fill before unleashing up to two tons of water on swimmers below.Councillor Jim Logue Chairs the Time Capsule Trust, he said: “Scotland’s waterpark is a national

attraction. It brings people here from all over the UK. “We’ve set an ambitions target one million visitors this year, so naturally we’re delighted that so many people have visited in the opening weeks. Local people have been enjoying the new facilities too, and we’ve noticed many people with young families using it during the day.“It’s important to remember that this is just phase one of the improvements. We’ll soon be starting work on the refurbishment of the ice rink and have plans to include a health suite.”Phil McEwan, the managing director of Ogilvie Construction – the main contractor on site – said: “The project, which was completed just before Christmas, made major enhancements to the leisure facilities on offer – and also upgraded the plant and structures behind the scenes. Here at Ogilvie, we drew on our considerable experience in the leisure sector to deliver the enhancements on time and on budget and were delighted to be a part of this prestigious project.“We wish North Lanarkshire Council, the Trust operating the centre, and the staff and customers at The Time Capsule every success for the future.”

Crime BeatRecent Police incidents in our area What is a financial statement?

We use the term financial statement to mean one of the general-purpose, external financial statements such as the income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows,Sole Trader or Limited Company?At some stage during your business career the question that most of us have to deal with is whether or not to form a limited company.Often, the desire to incorporate (become a limited company) comes from factors that are less to do with busi-ness legislation and more to do with our perception of what a business should be.For example, ‘businesses feel safer dealing with limited companies, ‘things are more organized in limited com-panies’, ‘employees don’t like working for non-limited companies’ and of course ‘I will have no debts with limited liability’ etc.The truth is that some businesses can be more profitable, easily administered & less bureaucratic, and encumbered by less legislation by remaining a sole trader instead of becoming a limited company

Central Scotland MSP and Minister for Housing &

Communities, Alex Neil, has expressed his delight with the Bill he piloted through the Scottish Parliament being granted Royal Assent and becoming an Act of Parliament.The new law will ditch the right to buy (RTB) for new council house and housing association tenants and will come into force from 1st March 2011.It is expected that up to 18,000 homes would be kept in the social rent ed sector over the next 10 years, rather than being sold to tenants.A new Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) will be created, and the introduction of a charter for social housing, aims to improve value for tenants and taxpayers by assessing landlords'

performance.Around one in four Scottish households, about 600,000 homes, are in the social rented sector.Mr Neil said:"The Housing Act will make a huge difference to the rental sector in North Lanarkshire. It means that social housing is protected for future generations, providing homes for the people and jobs in the economy."It will give the Council and Housing Associations the confidence to invest in new housing without fearing they will have to sell those houses at a discounted price."We are already seeing the first Councils houses being built in North Lanarkshire for a generation, which is great news for people who are desperately waiting for a house or to be rehoused."

NEIL DELIGHT AS RIGHT TO BUY REFORMS BECOME LAW

Neil attacks UK Government over poverty predictionsAlex Neil MSP has

slammed the current and previous UK Governments over their records on poverty, after new figures showed child and working age poverty is set to rise by hundreds of thousands in coming years.In 1999 Labour promised to eradicate child poverty by 2020, and half it by 2010 but since then it has risen. The coalition cuts are now set to have a severe impact on child and working age poverty, with the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Joseph Rowntree Foundation predicting a rise in child poverty across the UK of

200,000 by 2014.By 2013/14, under new Government reforms on welfare and poverty there will be:

poverty of about 200,000;

working-age people without children, of about 300,000;

poverty of about 100,000; and

among working-age people without children of about 200,000.Alex Neil MSP said: “The cuts being dealt out by the Tory-Liberal coalition will

have a huge impact on poverty levels here in Scotland. We are going to see thousands more children and adults in poverty thanks to the cuts that were planned by Labour.“Labour’s record on poverty was truly miserable, but now the Lib Dems and Tories are going exacerbate the problem. We need to see urgent action from the UK Government on poverty to stop this predicted rise. The Scottish Government is doing what it can on poverty but has no power of economic policy so cannot deliver the changes required at Westminster level.”


The Neo Natal department at Wishaw General Hospital was

£500 better off after some local residents grouped together to raise money for them.Local resident Alison Fallon of Tip Top Mobile Cleaning Services spearheaded the campaign to raise funds for the Neonatal in remembrance of her great nephew Daniel Mark Henney, who was born a twin sadly died at 8 weeks old after being born 14 weeks premature.

Neonatal nursing provide much needed care for newborn infants in-cluding specialised care for premature or ill newborns.Alison, along with the members of Thorniewood League of Darts, family and friends set about raising money for the department shortly after the darts team was formed. She told The HUB; “The darts team were looking to raise some funds to help support them when it was decided that they should

raise some money for charity at the same time.” To raise the money, Alison underwent a sponsored hair cut at Zeus based on Old Edinburgh Road, which raised over £340 with the balance coming in the form of raffles and donations.Alison said; “I would like to thank literally everyone who has helped, sponsored or made a donation and all of the clubs and organisations in the area were really supportive.”

YOUNG PEOPLE SHOWCASE DRAMA DVD

North Lanarkshire’s young people are set to be stars of the silver

screen as their drama DVD enjoys its first showing today (Wednesday 12 January 2011). Titled “The Good, The Bad and The Children”, the DVD is made by young people for young people and highlights the priorities of North Lanarkshire’s Children’s Services Partnership in their work to improve the lives of children and young people in North Lanarkshire. The young people decided that the best way to highlight the priorities was to produce short dramas about each one contained in the Children’s Summary Plan as a way of getting other young people involved in discussions about the issues. The DVD features a series of short dramas about young people who need extra help; young people affected by drugs and alcohol; young people who break the law; young people in care and keeping young people safe. The young people involved developed the storylines, acted the parts, filmed

the dramas and wrote a rap as a way of engaging other young people in discussion about the issues featured. Each young person was presented with a certificate in recognition of their achievement. An invited audience comprising secondary school pupils from Coatbridge and members from North Lanarkshire Partnership will watch the screening. And work is underway to incorporate the DVD in lesson plans at schools to help raise awareness of the Children’s Plan and encourage the engagement of young people. Speaking on behalf of North Lanarkshire Partnership, Councillor Barry McCulloch thanked all of the young people involved in producing the DVD. He said, “A tremendous amount of hard work and dedication was shown by all of the young people involved in making this fantastic DVD. Not only that, but the talent they display is second to none and it’s great to see them use these talents to highlight some of the issues that many young people struggle with.

“I’d also like to thank FPS (frames per second) Media for helping the young people produce the film and also to the Showcase Cinema for allowing us to screen their DVD at no cost.” Mary Castles, Executive Director of Housing and Social Work added, “Our Children’s Services Plan is key to meeting the needs of children, young people and their families. While most children and young people’s needs are met by their families or carers our plan focuses on services that target the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and require an integrated approach from more than one agency. “We’re consulting with young people at today’s event and helping them to explore these important issues and I’m sure the screening of he DVD will do just that. And just as importantly, we’re hoping to encourage them to become involved in letting North Lanarkshire Partnership know the issues that are important to the young people here in North Lanarkshire.”

A new 7-a-side football league for secondary school pupils

attending Assisted Special Needs schools (ASN) in central Scotland has been created. The fixtures aim to encourage greater participation from youngsters with additional support needs.The inaugural matches took place at the new £32m Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility at the end of 2010 and featured players from Portland, Glencryan, Firpark, Drumpark and Carrongrange in Falkirk ASN schools.The league has been set up as part of a partnership project involving North Lanarkshire Council and Scottish Football Association.Former Scottish International star and North Lanarkshire football development officer Andy Smith has worked hard to set up the league and

he said: “We have been working in partnership with the SFA during the last couple of years to provide weekly coaching sessions within our ASN schools.“The pupils and coaches have really enjoyed the sessions and we have some very talented footballers within these schools.“We are hoping to expand the league in the future and include more local authority teams as football provides a great way of encouraging the pupils to enjoy exercise and become part of a team game.”Each school has a squad of 10 players with dedicated coaches supporting their training ahead of league games. The SFA has provided funding to support the coaching sessions in the schoolsThe next set of matches takes place

on the 4 February at Ravenscraig and this will be followed up further games in March and April before the top two teams go forward to represent the Central region at the National finals in June.Councillor Jim Logue, Convener of Learning and Leisure Services added: “We are proud to be supporting the ASN central league and the Ravenscraig facility provides the perfect sporting venue for this type of competition. “As a council, we are committed to encouraging all our pupils to get more involved in sport and have healthier lifestyles. “Through education and the stimulus of sport, young people can build self esteem and develop their sporting talents and the ASN league provides a perfect opportunity for this.”

To assist her with her goal of increasing her fitness, we thought we would publish some rather helpful tips to help in her quest. In the current hustle and bustle environment that we live in, many of us do find it very difficult to start exercising. Even if you look at the changing times, the level of activity that we do has fallen considerably to that of our ancestors. For example,

we all pretty much own cars and rely on them heavily to get around and the computer generation has had an impact too – we all spend a lot of time in front of them at work. When we get home, after we have seen to the kids, ate dinner and dealt with any other household chores, we think nothing of spending the rest evening sitting or even lying down in front of the TV. According to the BBC, many people’s views on sport and exercise were formed during school PE lessons – endless laps of a muddy field, or standing around shivering in T-shirt and shorts, hoping the ball didn’t come near you. Most of us have seen film of people running a marathon who look ready to keel over. Not surprising then that many people regard exercise as something miserable that has to be very, very hard to do you any good. It doesn’t. Here are some tips to incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

At Work:Try taking the stairs instead of the lift (walk up and not down!)At lunch go for a walk – just a simple 5 minute walk will make a differenceIf you can, leave the car at home and walk or cycle to workIf you take the train or bus, try getting on 1 stop early and walking from there.

If you have Children:Join in with the kids in what they are doingTake them to the park and enjoy it

togetherIf they go swimming or play sports, why not join them.

At HomeWalk to the local shopIf you can afford to, get some

exercise equipment like a treadmill or exercise bike – use them whilst watching tv. Use your stairs to help you exercise. Now that we have you doing some exercise, to what degree is best for you? Strenuous, moderate or mild?

The intensity at which you workout can be described as strenuous, moderate or mild. What constitutes a strenuous, moderate or mild exercise workload for you will depend on your current fitness. If you’re an Olympic 10,000m runner, jogging one mile in nine minutes would count as mild activity. For most people, though, it would be strenuous, if not impossible. Experts recommend that for purposes of general health, mild to moderate levels of physical activity are all that’s required. For many of us, this means brisk or purposeful walking, or the equivalent level of effort in another activity. It’s a pace at which you feel you’re making good progress while still being able to hold a conversation.

As a rule of thumb, exercise of moderate intensity will make you a little warm or sweaty, and slightly out of breath, but no more than that.

Recommended activity levelsAccording to the government, only 37 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women take enough exercise to get any benefit from it. To avoid obesity, heart disease and other life-limiting conditions, the chief medical officer (the government’s top doctor) recommends the following:

of 30 minutes moderate-intensity physical activity, five days a week.

hour could be made up of three ten-minute bursts of activity spread through the day, if you prefer.

activity’ (in other words, walking to the shops or taking the dog out) or structured exercise or sport, or a combination of these. But it does need to be of at least moderate intensity.

from obesity, or who need to manage

their weight because of a medical condition, need 45-60 minutes of exercise at least five times a week.

Older peopleOlder people need to keep active so these recommendations also apply to older adults, assuming they’re healthy and mobile enough to manage them. In fact, older people should take particular care to retain their mobility through daily activity. Specific activities to improve strength, coordination and balance are particularly beneficial for older people.

this is more important the longer and harder your planned exercise is, but it’s a good habit to get into if you want to prevent injuries, such as pulled muscles.

The bottom line is that any physical activity, no matter how little, is better

than none.

YOUR YEAR TO LOOK GOOD AND FEEL GREAT

Welcome to 2011 – the start of the year. We all have, no doubt made some new year’s resolutions – what are they? Lose weight? Get a new job? Stop smoking? Give up Yum Yums?

Well here at The HUB, our Creative Director decided that hers was to get fit.

Rather than following an extreme detox plan that limits just about every food except fruit and veg while at the

same time getting you to down a nasty ‘detox’ drink every day, this plan is safer and more sensible and shouldn’t leave you short on nutrients if you follow it for just one week.

DetoxWEEK


To assist her with her goal of increasing her fitness, we thought we would publish some rather helpful tips to help in her quest. In the current hustle and bustle environment that we live in, many of us do find it very difficult to start exercising. Even if you look at the changing times, the level of activity that we do has fallen considerably to that of our ancestors. For example,

we all pretty much own cars and rely on them heavily to get around and the computer generation has had an impact too – we all spend a lot of time in front of them at work. When we get home, after we have seen to the kids, ate dinner and dealt with any other household chores, we think nothing of spending the rest evening sitting or even lying down in front of the TV. According to the BBC, many people’s views on sport and exercise were formed during school PE lessons – endless laps of a muddy field, or standing around shivering in T-shirt and shorts, hoping the ball didn’t come near you. Most of us have seen film of people running a marathon who look ready to keel over. Not surprising then that many people regard exercise as something miserable that has to be very, very hard to do you any good. It doesn’t. Here are some tips to incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

At Work:Try taking the stairs instead of the lift (walk up and not down!)At lunch go for a walk – just a simple 5 minute walk will make a differenceIf you can, leave the car at home and walk or cycle to workIf you take the train or bus, try getting on 1 stop early and walking from there.

If you have Children:Join in with the kids in what they are doingTake them to the park and enjoy it

togetherIf they go swimming or play sports, why not join them.

At HomeWalk to the local shopIf you can afford to, get some

exercise equipment like a treadmill or exercise bike – use them whilst watching tv. Use your stairs to help you exercise. Now that we have you doing some exercise, to what degree is best for you? Strenuous, moderate or mild?

The intensity at which you workout can be described as strenuous, moderate or mild. What constitutes a strenuous, moderate or mild exercise workload for you will depend on your current fitness. If you’re an Olympic 10,000m runner, jogging one mile in nine minutes would count as mild activity. For most people, though, it would be strenuous, if not impossible. Experts recommend that for purposes of general health, mild to moderate levels of physical activity are all that’s required. For many of us, this means brisk or purposeful walking, or the equivalent level of effort in another activity. It’s a pace at which you feel you’re making good progress while still being able to hold a conversation.

As a rule of thumb, exercise of moderate intensity will make you a little warm or sweaty, and slightly out of breath, but no more than that.

Recommended activity levelsAccording to the government, only 37 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women take enough exercise to get any benefit from it. To avoid obesity, heart disease and other life-limiting conditions, the chief medical officer (the government’s top doctor) recommends the following:

of 30 minutes moderate-intensity physical activity, five days a week.

hour could be made up of three ten-minute bursts of activity spread through the day, if you prefer.

activity’ (in other words, walking to the shops or taking the dog out) or structured exercise or sport, or a combination of these. But it does need to be of at least moderate intensity.

from obesity, or who need to manage

their weight because of a medical condition, need 45-60 minutes of exercise at least five times a week.

Older peopleOlder people need to keep active so these recommendations also apply to older adults, assuming they’re healthy and mobile enough to manage them. In fact, older people should take particular care to retain their mobility through daily activity. Specific activities to improve strength, coordination and balance are particularly beneficial for older people.

this is more important the longer and harder your planned exercise is, but it’s a good habit to get into if you want to prevent injuries, such as pulled muscles.

The bottom line is that any physical activity, no matter how little, is better

than none.

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse 2010.

On 21st of December 2010 we all bore witness to one of natures wonders, a complete Lunar Eclipse.

Such an eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun’s rays from striking the moon. We are fortunate to know the science behind these events, however our ancient ancestors created myths about Lunar Eclipse’s.

As far back as 2134BC, the earliest records of the eclipse written by the Chinese tell us that they believed a dragon was engulfing the moon during an eclipse. The ingestion of the moon was extremely gory, with blood spluttering all over. They would beat mirrors and drums as well as shoot arrows in the sky to make the beast regurgitate and return the moon to its place in

the Sky.Although a lot more common than Solar eclipses, it is

the first time since 1638 (372 years) that the eclipse has occurred on the Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year). The next Lunar eclipse can be seen on 15th June 2011 at 9pm provided we have clear skies.

Being one of the Wishaw Hub’s photographers, I was

given the task of getting up early at 5am and driving through snow and iced covered roads up to Blackhill to document this for our readers.

The temperature was around -10 degrees celcius but the views over Lanarkshire were stunning, with snow on the ground and a clear sky. This made bearing the cold worth it. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Getting an abortion has put me off sex!I’m 17 and I fell pregnant from my 20 year old boyfriend. I decided to have an abortion last month, and have been cut up about it since then. I’m always depressed and feeling low. My boyfriend doesn’t seem to care and keeps hassling me for sex. I’m scared in case I fall pregnant again. I feel he has no consideration for how I feel. I just can’t stop crying about it, he acts as if I just got rid of a zit or something, and its no big deal. But I can’t forget that it was my baby I got rid of.I have always used the pill, and despite that I fell pregnant, so I don’t trust that anymore. Im worried if I keep on like this he might just get fed up with me and leave. I just want him to understand how I feel and just give me some time alone so I can deal with this on my terms. Why is it he cant see that?AnswerSome men just find it hard to understand how women feel with pregnancies. As far as they are concerned what you can’t see you can’t grow feelings for. So they believe that all this is just drama. However that is no excuse for how he has been treating you, it’s frankly very selfish of him.What you need to remember is that whatever happens, don’t give in just because you are scared of losing him. If he can’t see how this is affecting you then a guy like that doesn’t deserve you.Forcing yourself to do something you don’t want, won’t help you emotionally. Instead it’ll make you feel worse than what you’re feeling already. It will then result with you getting more depressed, and chances are he will move on anyway. Don’t give in to his pressure. You need to talk to him, tell him how this abortion has made you feel, and

that you need time to recover. And at the same time talk to you GP or your local nurse at the surgery how best to use the contraceptive pill. Just don’t forget, don’t stick with this boyfriend unless he starts showing you more consideration. Good luck.

Husband left me for a school girl!My family has been torn apart ever since my husband fell for a girl less than half his age. I’m 38 and my husband is 40, we have 3 wonderful children the oldest daughter being 14. We run a small corner shop. It was by chance that I found out that one of our saturday staff had been sending texts to my husband. When I confronted him about this he told me it was innocent, he was just helping her with some college work. I didn’t believe him as these texts were getting sent even after midnight. I was right, the very next day my husband left me and moved back into his parents house.I found out from my mother-in-law that he took this girl to their house. Her father phoned me looking for my husband, luckily he wasn’t in. He told me that he was a policeman and would charge my husband as she was underage. I don’t know what to do. I’m just so worried. What can I do?AnswerWell firstly, with regards to your husband being charged, if this girl is over the age of 16, then they are having consensual sex, so very unlikely he could be charged for that.With the big age gap you might find this relationship slowly fizzles out. Looks as though he just may be suffering from a mid-life crisis. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t be putting up with this. I would tell him how this is affecting your daughter.Whether he comes to his senses or not, the question is will you be able to forgive him? I think you should talk

to someone, who can help give you some advice. Good luck.

In love with two girls at once!Can one person be in love with two people at once? I have been with my girlfriend for a year now, and I’m very happy,.Last week we had a work experience girl start at work for a week. She’s 16. I didn’t look twice at her at first. She wanted to be my friend on Facebook so I added her. I also added her on MSN. She then also asked for my mobile number. I didn’t see any harm in it until she told me that she fancied me. I was shocked at first but I was also extremely flattered. I saw her Facebook pictures and she looks totally different out of her work clothes. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. She asked me to cheat on my girlfriend with her and after work one day we went to a park where we hugged and kissed. It was amazing but I thought it was a one-off as I didn’t think I’d be seeing her again. Now my boss has offered her a Saturday job. This girl is starting to get upset because I told her I can’t be with her all the time. I don’t want to hurt my girlfriend. She would be devastated. My dad cheated on my mum in the past and everyone

has always said how much I’m like him. Now it seems that I am just as bad as he is. I really don’t know what to do. AnswerClearly You’ve been flattered by this girl’s attention but the fact that you went ahead and acted on that attraction raises serious questions about the strength of your feelings for your girlfriend. This may just be lust - we all feel drawn to other people sometimes.What you need to ask yourself is, is she really worth ruining what you have with your girlfriend? Ask your self this, how important is your girlfriend to you.Young relationships do tend to run their course.Your dad cheated on your mum, do you think subconsciously you could be recreating what you are familiar with? You need to think very carefully about what you are doing. Everyone enjoys a bit of fun, but could this become a habit…Is a moments happiness worth a lifetime of misery????

Whether or not you like the idea, environmentally friendly motoring

is coming. The rising costs of running a car these days is making your average motorist take a long hard think. When car manufacturers, such as Toyota, offer a hybrid, you would assume they know what they are doing? The Prius has been with us for many years now, and whilst it is not to everyone’s style, it has by all accounts been successful. In keeping things fresh, Toyota has given their hybrid Prius a revamp. To differentiate from ‘run of the mill’ versions, the 10th anniversary special edition has brand new side skirts and front and rear bumper extensions while at the same time maintaining its eco rating. It also gets dark-finish alloys, bodykit and embossed black leather upholstery add to the impressive streamlined body to create an attention-grabbing car. It’s also sporting a new safety pack with a pre-crash safety system and the title of best selling Japanese car of 2010 as well as a Which? Best Buy Award. Performance Ok, buyers of a hybrid will probably not have ‘performance’ as top of their wish list but the Prius’ beltless 1798cc engine makes for a smooth drive with fourteen percent fewer emissions than the previous Prius model and 8.5 percent better fuel consumption. This engine helps combat rising fuel costs while the electric engine eradicates the use of fuel altogether when travelling under thirty-one miles an hour. It also leads to no engine noise or emissions and because the engine

is beltless it needs far less maintenance. It can hit 62mph from a standstill in just over 10 seconds.Handling/ Ride/ Drive The Prius offers enough room for five adults and the headroom has increased by 12mm. Improved suspension also leads to a more comfortable ride. The wide door frames allow easy access into both front and back seats. The Prius also gained five stars in the EuroNCAP crash test. The safely pack is a real comfort to families with crash precautions. If the driver fails to respond to a warning buzzer, the system activates seatbelt pretensioners and begins an emergency stop to decrease impact force. Running Costs) With the Prius the initial purchase cost is not cheap, anything upwards from £20,000 depending on your chosen model but when you consider the cheaper running costs, it will balance itself out later. The Prius is also Road Tax exempt as its emissions are so low and special mention has to be given to the huge reduction in the running costs achievable due to a conservative use of fuel. The battery has also been improved meaning it is less likely to need replaced. The Prius’s Continuously Variable Transmission improves fuel economy and means it can travel an impressive 72.4 miles to a gallon.Toys The Prius now comes with LED low

beam headlights with washers and dusk detection. These LEDs conserve energy and last longer. The front side windows are water repellant for improved viability. The Touch Tracer Display brings essential information, such as auto settings, to the driver’s fingertips with its clever steering wheel control panel and sensor. It also allows the driver to continue safely as the screen is under the windscreen and in the line of sight. The Prius is certainly not for everyone but as fuel costs look set to rise further it may be worthwhile to give the Hybrid Prius another look.

Speaking your mind may make you feel better about situations but with Mercury, in Capricorn and the angle of your solar chart governing your career and reputation, your views will get an airing and so it’s important you make sure you’re understood. However impatient you are over the dilemma you face, it may still be unwise to force issues since your objectives could change.

You have been in an awkward position, it looks like you’ve had to try to be decisive, while situations themselves have remained unsettled. Frustrating as this state of affairs has been this weeks events may make you thankful that you did not commit earlier. Proposals and unexpected opportunities, not only influence your priorities but urge you to consider casting your eye further a field.

It would be easy to convince others, as well as yourself, that worrying issues related to ventures that involve them can just be ignored. While there is ample justification for ignoring difficulties,it is no surprise that your instincts are to hesitate. The key to dealing with situations is to stand your ground. Others have reason to force issues but, with so much in transition, their threats are hollow.

With a full Moon in Cancer, your Sun sign this week, you must clearly sense the way forward. Unfortunately others don’t always see things quite as you do and events may not be cooperating either. But don’t be disheartened, the advantage goes to those who persist, even in the face of resistance. However vigorously others express their views; you must keep your nerve.

Others’ attitudes may be either impossible or inspired but things may be difficult to judge since all is not what it seems. Eliminate and deal with certain practical issues or obligations. However uninteresting, these should be given first priority. It seems that you have been ignoring matters of your own health and unless these are dealt with, they could interfere at just the wrong time.

Virgos are rarely distracted from the achievement of their objectives but right now you could easily forget whatever it is you were supposed to be doing. If this means increasing amount of time spent in reflection and in assessing your aims then it will not be time wasted. But promises that offer fulfilment - either of a personal or romantic nature could sweep you away.

With Venus, your planetary ruler, in freedom loving Sagittarius, as Mars enters Aquarius, your pleasure zone, you may get a perverse pleasure from being either a tease or a tart, or falling on your sword in your desire to cater to the needs of loved ones. However, with a full Moon in Cancer, your eagerness to please may be misconstrued as genuine affection, unless of course it is genuine affection, in which case it may be time to have a clear the air talk.

While you may feel pulled in a number of different directions now, with a full Moon in Cancer this week, you may have to do some serious thinking about an important domestic, family or property matter. While this is unlikely to be the last word on the matter, you need to be aware that your situation right now isn’t as strong as it was but not so bad for you to get despondent.

You may feel compelled to get out and about to spread the word. It is not just because you have something important and meaningful to say, but simply that it’ll buy you some time, some breathing space and maybe even a little something to eat. Important decisions of a financial nature are required especially if you need the support of others in some way.

This week requires a variety of discipline that is uncharacteristic of Capricorns since your first impulse is usually to take action. This is effective most of the time but the full Moon in Cancer suggests a review of your finances is in order. Meanwhile the presence of Mercury in Capricorn suggests you should have a review of the past with moments of reflection before you talk turkey.

With the Sun joining Mars in Aquariusyou’ll be in your element with a growing sense of what you must do. As you redefine your identity and your values, even the nature of the situations seems to change on a daily basis. Understanding the indecisive nature of the times eases the pressure, but several decisions involving others must be made.

You should soon begin to feel more clear-minded and a stronger sense of purpose in your own inimitable way, and even that some situations seem more congenial. This week you may feel that strength but the changes swirling around you mean that everything is unsettled. Some of what arises willbe welcome, other elements are as puzzling as they are intriguing.

CHRISTMAS TVAs Coronation Street recovered from the biggest disaster in the history of ITV (apart from the time they gave Ross Kemp a golden handcuffs deal), Eastenders had characters stabbing themselves and threatening to jump off buildings. Which is what I felt like doing when I saw the amount of human misery transmitted on Christmas day.Depressing Christmas TV is now as inevitable as an X Factor winner getting the coveted Christmas Number 1 spot (which, incidentally, may not have happened if more of you had backed my campaign to get Ten Benson's "Black Snow" to the spot). Is it too much to ask our terrestrial TV stations not to show death, misery and chaos on the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ? Mind you, somebody I know got Jethro's comedy DVD for Christmas. So watching Christmas TV actually cheered him up.

CHEAPER CAR INSURANCEBeing a woman guarantees cheaper car insurance. Indeed, some companies such as Sheila's Wheels deal exclusively in car insurance for women.What exactly is the position if a man has an operation to become a woman, legally registers as a woman, and even changes his name to Gretchen? Would he be able to get cheaper car insurance?

If anyone in the insurance industry could advise me, please do so. Every time I phone up an insurance company and ask these questions, they hang up the phone on me.

DRUNKEN EMAILSFor years, I have argued the case for fitting phones and computers with breathalysers so as people can't send

drunken emails / phone calls and later regret it. Well, the good people at Google have come up with a program that requires the user to solve several mathematical puzzles if they try to log into their emails. That way if they're too drunk to solve the puzzle, the computer will deem them too drunk to send an email.I think this program is a wonderful idea. It would mean jakies could never ever send emails.

AND FINALLY... AN EXCLUSIVEI've already written a bit about the doom and gloom of Eastenders, and the mentality of the people who find the characters "believable", but the antics of one such fan merit a special mention.For those of you who watch Eastenders, you'll have seen Ronnie Mitchell giving birth to a new baby boy whilst her other half Jack Branning was out of the country. As soon as the baby was born, Ronnie's sister Roxy Mitchell held up a mobile phone with Jack's name and number clearly displayed on the screen, and allowed him to speak to her via hands free about their new boy.What followed next in this particular plotline was very dark (even by Eastender's standards)- so dark in fact that I don't wish to discuss it in a family column like Q's Views. It should never have been shown before the watershed in my humble opinion. But one female took greater exception to it than me, and took an even more drastic course of action. After a few drinks she waited for the re-run of Eastenders, re-watched the scene where Roxy held up the phone with Jack's number displayed on it, and then rang it up.By sheer chance the name of the guy on the other end of the phone happened to be Jack too, so what happened next was comedy gold:- "Is that Jack?"- "Yes it is"- "Put that cow on the phone right now, what she did was bang out of order"- "Excuse me?"- "You heard me. Put her on the phone or I'll call the police. I have film footage of what she did, and I'll give it to them unless she comes clean to Alfie and Cat"I don't want to name the woman concerned as I suspect the police will eventually get involved. If you want to know what Ronnie Mitchell did, watch the re-run of Eastenders (unless you're under 16 and don't have your parents’ permission).

Welcome back to the Golf Hub and happy new year to all

its readers, hopefully the snow has lifted where you are and we can now look forward to some golf over the next few weeks and prepare for the forthcoming season.Since the last edition i have returned from Bahrain to take up my new post of Head Professional

at Carnwath Golf Club, I am based here now on a permanent basis and will be on hand for all your golfing requirements.Carnwath is situated approximately 10 miles from Wishaw and was founded in 1907 on a piece of land called Gallow Hill, situated to the west of the village of Carnwath. The 9 hole course was laid out by Mr W,

Auchterlonie of St Andrew's and opened by Lady Lockhart, the wife of Sir Simon M Lockhart, Honorary President of the club and laird of the estates, on 29th June 1907. The course was extended to 18 holes in May 1922 and by 1936 was visited by more than 3000 golfers annually. With the acquisition of a further 20 acres

south of the course, it's layout was again redesigned by G M Clark, club champion, and the new layout opened in July 1963.At 5953 yards from the medal tees it is not the longest of courses, but with the undulations, slick greens and the long par 3’s it proves to be no pushover but a really enjoyable and pleasant round of golf.

This long awaited Cup match between Shotts and Bellshill

was finally given the go ahead at the weekend and ended in disappointment for the home side.Shotts pushed forward from the kick off and it took an excellent tackle by Bellshill defender Stevie Bennett to stop McStay as he drove forward. The visiting Bellshill replied immediately when Crozier sent Selkirk clear but home Keeper Brown comfortably saved the Striker’s effort.Bellshill Striker Sean McKenna was cautioned for a wild lunge at home

Keeper Brown - with the home side players and support demanding a red card be shown. The tie was starting to become a real cup match with end to end action with both sides pushing forward without troubling either Keeper. Boyack, Woods and Finnigan failed to hit the target as Shotts created half decent chances and at the other end Flynn, Doland and McKenna went close for the Visitors.With the last action of the first half Calder kept the score sheet blank with a crucial stop from a 10 yard Hanlon drive. With the wind behind

them Shotts pushed forward in search of an opener but the Bellshill defence stood firm.Bellshill were not content to sit and defend and Crozier and Flynn were getting the ball down and driving forward. Shotts were conceding fouls in the dangerous areas as they struggled to keep Bellshill at bay and this tactic cost them dearly in the 67th minute when Boyack brought down smith. Brendan Crozier fired the resultant free kick across the six yard area and Sean McKenna got across his marker to head the ball beyond

Brown to open the scoring. Two minutes later Hanlon sent Duffy clear only for the Striker to see his effort brilliantly saved by ‘Hill Keeper Calder.Shotts appeals for a penalty were ignored by the Referee when Hanlon went down in the box following a tackle by Malloy. The referee correctly booked Hanlon for diving and could have sent him off for another dive five minutes later. With the time running out Calder again denied Duffy with a fine stop to ensure ‘Hill held out for a well deserved victory.
