I heard that you will have to have a minimum amount of lessons spread over a longer time or something.Does that mean intensive courses will no longer be allowed?

Women and Children are supposed to be protected by the Governments of the world. The Governments should not be legalizing Prostitution. The World Governments should be working to eliminate prostitution.

*Perilous Times and Decaying Morality
Europe's brothel - in a corner of Spain*
Madam's is just one of a series of macro-brothels making prostitution a
growth industry
Giles Tremlett in Capmany
Saturday June 24, 2006
The Guardian

The small stone chapel that local people once used for baptisms, first
communions and weddings is now a storeroom and the sign that read Hotel
Mercéi has been replaced by a glowing piece of neon announcing that this
is now a busy brothel called Madam's.

Selling sex is, as this thriving, 50-room "macro-brothel" shows, a far
more lucrative business than catering for the family celebrations of a
scattered population of farmers and wine-growers in this north-eastern
corner of Spain.

Located on a main road just inside the Spanish border with France,
Madam's has a large sign reading Entrée.The yellow number-plates on the
Peugeots and Renaults in the car park are also mainly French. "Most of
the clients are from over the border," says Patricio, the muscle-bound,
tattooed manager of what is now one of the biggest businesses in the
small municipality of Capmany. "Things are a lot stricter over there."

Inside, several dozen scantily clad women in thongs and micro-skirts sit
at the neon-lit chrome bar. Others totter around on glittery platform
shoes or in thigh-length boots. Despite the ample display of flesh, they
are having trouble competing for the attention of a handful of early
evening punters with the World Cup football showing on a giant screen.
Occasionally, one walks off, a client in tow, to the lifts that take
them up to the four floors of bedrooms above.

Exploitation

Madam's is just one of more than a dozen macro-brothels to be found on
the outskirts of the small inland villages of a region known as the Alt
Empordà. "They are turning us into Europe's brothel," complains Ferran
Jarabo, the priest for four small village parishes. "We shouldn't
tolerate this sort of exploitation. Women are being reduced to mere
objects."

Dallas, Desiree and Baby Doll are a few of the names that shout out from
huge neon signs. On back roads, bikini-wearing prostitutes from Romania,
Nigeria or Colombia watch the cars going past, pimps discreetly in the
distance.

The brothels here, just a few miles from the tourist beaches of the
Costa Brava, are part of a nationwide growth industry that Spanish
politicians - immersed in a debate over whether to fully legalise and
regulate prostitution - are finally waking up to.

Although no proposals have yet emerged, Roman Catholic Spain already
rivals liberal Holland and Germany in its laissez-faire attitude.

Brothel-owners themselves claim that prostitution, and its spin-offs,
are now an €18bn (£12.4bn) business sector - equivalent to half of
Spain's education budget. The country's confusing prostitution laws mean
that running a brothel is neither fully legal, nor fully illegal. At the
moment, it is illegal only to live directly off prostituting other
people. That allows many brothel owners, like those who run Madam's, to
argue that they are hoteliers who only rent out rooms towomen who work
for themselves.

"I only make money on the rooms. The girls are free. We don't force them
to work a timetable, or fine them if they don't turn up - which is what
happens in other places," says Patricio. A doctor and a psychologist
are, he says, also on the payroll.

Regulation

Madam's has a licence from the regional government of Catalonia "to
gather people to practise prostitution". The government has decided the
only way to control prostitution is by regulating it.

Police say the number of prostitutes in Spain has doubled since 1999,
with one civil guard report from 2004 counting 20,000 in a region
containing a third of the country's population.

In reality, say campaigners, only a minority of brothels obey both the
spirit and letter of the law. Many are run by mafia outfits using women
trafficked from around the world or who are forced to pay off massive,
interest-bearing "debts" to those who brought them here. Apart from a
group of six priests who have lobbied for the brothels to close down,
local people have been quiet. One of the visitors to Madam's on the day
the Guardian called was Jesús Figa, the mayor of Capmany. "The town hall
is not allowed to ban a business for ethical or social reasons," said Mr
Figa, who was there to see Patricio. "That is up to the government of
Catalonia"

Claudia, 25, arrived from her home in the Transylvania region of Romania
two years ago. She escaped from the pimp who brought her to Spain but
continues to sell her body at Madam's.

"He has threatened to kill me and has even come here to the club," she
says. Three black-uniformed security guards, kitted with combat boots,
batons and walkie-talkies, man the doors.

She sends money home to her mother and the five-year-old son she has not
seen for two years. "It means they have three or four times as much
money as they would normally earn," she says.

Madam's even operates as a Western Union branch - and has posters in
Russian advertising its services - so the prostitutes can wire money home.

Just over a mile up the road, police this week raided a notorious club
called Lady's Dallas. A total of 143 prostitutes were working there,
including 38 illegal immigrants and one under-age Romanian girl. The
prostitutes came from 15 developing world and eastern European
countries. None was Spanish.

Spain's National Statistics Institute reported in 2003 that more than
27% of Spanish men under 49 had had sex with a prostitute during their
lives, and one in 15 over the previous year - "noticeably higher than
those in other surveys in Europe".

Arguments presented to a parliamentary committee investigating
prostitution vary from calls for abolition and the prosecution of male
customers to German or Dutch-style legalisation. All sides agree on one
thing. Whatever happens, Spanish men are going to keep paying for sex.
"What needs to be done is to educate men so they relate to women as
equals and respect them in all walks of life," argues Irene Boada, a
columnist in El País newspaper.

The Model # is WJSR2070B2WW. It was off balance and started making a horrible noise and wouldn't agitate or spin. It does fill up and pump the water back out. My son looked at it and pushed on something underneath and it agitated, but still wouldn't spin. He says he thought some "shaft" was bent. He is not an appliance repair person, though. Online sites are suggesting some coupler thing could be the problem. I am praying it is not the clutch or transmission. This washer is only 4 years old. We are on fixed income and can't afford costly repair or new washer. If we knew what it was, son could probably fix it. HELP!!
