Here comes the sun! Liverpool to spread Tenerife gospel with rare Beatle pictures
WHERE do all the best Beatles go for a holiday? Why Tenerife, of course! Well, three of them did, at least, way back in 1963, just as they were launching the Mersey Invasion, featuring Billy J Kramer, Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Merseybeats, plus a host of other groups.
And just as they popularised their home town Liverpool with their dazzling brand of pop music for many years, so Liverpool is about to spread the Tenerife gospel in the shape of a rare photograph exhibition featuring the Fab Four in their early days. The collection, which includes snapshots of George, Paul and Ringo during their stay in Tenerife - John Lennon

and manager Brian Epstein decided on mainland Spain will be on view in Liverpool from next Wednesday (25th August) until the end of next January. The exhibition of Astrid Kircherr’s work will be displayed in the University of Liverpool’s Victoria Gallery & Museum, for all to see. The collection features more than 70 pictures, previ-
ously unseen, taken by the German photographer, who met the band in 1960 while they were playing in Hamburg nightclubs. Astrid was engaged to Stuart Sutcliffe, the Beatles original bass player who died from a brain haemorrhage in 1962. She was the first person to take studio shots of the group. Her work also includes 1964 images of the Fab Four taken in Liverpool during the making of the film, A Hard Day’s Night, and shots of the city as it appeared in the Sixties. She said: “I am delighted to come back to Liverpool to show my photographs at the
Victoria Gallery and Museum, having enjoyed seeing Stuart’s work in the same venue in 2009.” Matthew Clough, museum director, said: “The primary focus of this exhibition is to demonstrate Astrid’s work as a significant 20th Century photographer. “Astrid is known for her photographs of the Beatles in Hamburg, but her images of Liverpool in the early 60s provide a unique snapshot of a particular moment in its history.” The three Beatles spent nearly a fortnight chilling out in La Montañeta, near Los Realejos, Puerto de la Cruz,
and their stay has been in documented in a recent book by local historian Nicolás G Lemus. They had just recorded their first album, Please, Please me, which had gone straight to No1, and were obviously on their way to international fame and a huge fortune. Beatlemania was taking off rapidly, and the following year they became the first British band to conquer America. The Fab Four actually returned to Spain in 1965 as global superstars, when they played in front of packed venues in Madrid and Barcelona,

Ship ahoy Spain sets aside In two months Cunard‘s new liner, Queen Elizabeth will be unveiled, but the art deco-inspired ship is quickly taking shape. A total of 2,092 passengers are booked on her maiden voyage, all the structural work is now done and it’s possible to see what she will look like when she is completed. Her first trip is around Spain and out to the Canary Islands. The 90,400-ton cruise ship is the latest offering from
the historic Cunard cruise company and her launch has been anticipated among loyal Cunard cruisers since the luxurious Queen Victoria set sail three years ago. Such is the anticipation surrounding Queen Elizabeth’s launch, the 13-night maiden voyage in October sold out within just half an hour of becoming available. Emerging from Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard in Italy in October, her first world trip will start from Southampton on January 5, 2011 - a 103night sailing which includes 38 stops in 23 countries.

Public Works, José Blanco, the Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, Elena Salgado, said that “the stability of markets and some small domestic adjustment on initial forecasts allow in 2011an additional margin for the figures of at least 500 million euros.“ The Vice President pointed out that this figure is included in the spending limit approved by Parliament, which exceeds 122,000 million euros, and will not affect the goal of cutting the deficit to 6%, as the
Distribution audited and certified by
compromise reached with the European Union. As he explained, indicating the first budget figures were sent to ministries were made in a time of increased volatility in financial markets. In the words of the Minister, now has established stability, particularly after the publication of stress tests. The Minister of Public Works has indicated that up to 50 works will benefit next year with additional funds. They recalled that, as in Parliament, the adjustment in relation to public investment is severe and must
seek greater efficiency. In this regard, attention was to be addressed “a reflection on how to finance investment.” However, he noted that the decline in revenue driven by the decline in housing activity was detected in 2008, so that “last year in the budget we made the tax changes which we believe were necessary to meet our objectives deficit. “ From this perspective, we’re assured that “the tax structure we have now is sufficient, so that reforms are envisaged in this regard.”

Spanish Traffic Devil edition Authority starts to target their foreign drivers A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR
Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
The Canarian Weekly this week reaches edition 666. As soon as you mention this to people they say – “The Devil”. The number – 666 – is often referred to as the number of the Beast, which is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible, relating to the figure of “The Beast”. The number 666 is in most manuscripts of the New Testament, and in modern translations and critical editions of the Greek text. Although Irenaeus (2nd century AD) affirmed the number to be 666 and reported several scribal errors of the number, there is still doubt by some theologians about the original reading, as some recently-discovered 3rd century early manuscripts of Revelation read 616. This topic is a source of contention for many church groups and theologians. Most scholars contend that the number 666 is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero,

according to Wikipedia. In the U.S. Route 491 (US 491) is a north–south U.S. Highway serving the Four Corners region of the United States. One of the newest designations in the U.S. Highway system, it was created in 2003 as a renumbering of U.S. Route 666. With the 666 designation, this road was nicknamed Devil’s Highway because of the common Christian belief that 666 is the Number of the Beast. This satanic connotation, combined with a high fatality rate along the New Mexico portion, convinced some people the highway was cursed. The problem was compounded with chronic sign theft. These factors led to two efforts to renumber the highway, first by officials in Arizona, later in New Mexico. Since the renumbering, as a result of safety improvement projects, fatality rates have decreased. Did you know? 666 is the magic sum, or sum of the magic constants of a six by six magic square, any row or column of which adds up to 111. It’s also the sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel. 666 was the original name of the Macintosh SevenDust computer virus that was discovered in 1998.
SPEED TRAPS in Spain are being adapted to read foreign number plates. The DGT Spanish traffic authority has announced a new system to fine foreign drivers who exceed the speed limit. Previously many drivers in foreign number-plated cars escaped punishment. The new system has been
installed on four speed traps where there is a high number of foreign drivers – the AP-7 in Castellón, the A7 in Murcia, the A-31 in Alicante and the A-52 in Zamora. It’s understood that special adaptors on these speed traps are designed to catch foreign motorists, that some have been operational since the start of the summer, and the rest will be so this week.
When the speed trap detects a foreign number plate breaking the speed limit a photograph is taken and then related to the DGT centre in León where such fines are processed. At the same time local Trafico agents in the area receive an automated message with details of the infraction so that they can personally inform the driver of the vehicle.
According to the Deputy Director of the DGT, Federico Fernández, it has been shown that between 30% and 40% of the speeding drivers in the summer have foreign number plates. The news comes amid a debate in the media in Spain as to whether traffic fines are effective in saving lives, or a just another way for the Government to raise funds.

ICELAND is continuing to defy the European Union and Norway over its controversial mackerel quota with two of its main fishing companies announcing maximum effort.
A fishy tale hire since then, fishing off the shores of Africa. The Captain of Kristina EA is Arngrímur Brynjólfsson and his crew counts 35. The ship is equipped with powerful and highly technical processing and freezing machinery and the catch will all be processed on board. Meanwhile, HB Grandi’s pelagic fleet is back in the hunt for mackerel and herring after a short break. All three vessels stopped fishing recently to fit in with the Vopnafjördur factory’s break in production and
are back at sea now to have raw material for production to resume next week. So far this season HB Grandi’s pelagic vessels have landed 7300 tonnes of Atlanto-Scandian herring, with 23,000 tonnes remaining of their quota. The company says that catches of mackerel have been heavier, with 11,150 tonnes landed so far, leaving 4,400 tonnes of the quota to be caught. Up to last weekend the total catch by Icelandic vessels was 75,000 metric tons, 58 per cent of its self declared quota
of 130,000 tons. The Faroe Islands have also given themselves a quota of 85,000 tons, much to the anger of the EU. Yesterday the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation urged the Faroese to give up the quota. The Icelandic Fishing Vessel Owners Association has said that its country has “every right to fish for mackerel within the Icelandic jurisdiction” just as Norway and the EU have the right to fish for mackerel in their respective jurisdictions.

San Cristóbal Castle, Santa Cruz 1st Aug 2010 - 30th Sep 2010 Monday to Sunday Time: 11:00 - 19:00 The Castillo San Cristóbal visitor’s centre has reopened its doors to the public in the Plaza de España, Santa Cruz. It was closed following the heavy rains that devastated the island on February 1st. The ‘Castillo de San Cristóbal’ Visitor’s Centre features an exhibition of Tenerife’s old defence system. It offers information from its construction in 1575 to its demolition in 1928. Since the 25th of July 2009, the ‘Castillo de San Cristóbal’ Visitor’s Centre has had an added attraction to delight both local and foreign visitors: the legendary ‘El Tigre’ cannon. Although it cannot be demonstrated historically, popular belief says that the famous British admiral Horacio Nelson was injured and lost his arm thanks to this ‘El Tigre’ cannon. Compañía Nacional de Danza Tickets are on sale during August for performances by the Compañía Nacional de Danza 2, which takes place in the Symphonic Hall in Tenerife’s Auditorium on the 6th and 7th of November. Tickets can be purchased by calling 902 317 327 (between 10:00 and 19:00 Mondays to Fridays), in the Auditorium’s ticket office (between 10:00 and 15:00 Mondays to Fridays and 10:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays), in CajaCanarias multiservice terminals, or online at www.auditoriodetenerife.com. The history of the Compañía Nacional de Danza is firmly linked to Spain’s most recent past. The main objective of the company is to train and prepare dancers for professional dancing and serve as a link between, dance schools and professional dance companies such as the Compañia Nacional de Danza. Its repertoire is principally made up of works by Nacho Duato, although works by young choreographers have gradually been incorporated, allowing dancers to keep up to date with new trends and incorporate them into their performances. The aim of this project is to inspire young dancers, to arouse interest in contemporary dance amongst young audiences and add to the range of cultural activities on offer in Spain.

IT WAS quite a wakeup call for about 135 passengers on an overnight train headed to Milan, Italy. They woke up in Switzerland instead. The traveller’s had boarded the Salvador Dali train in Barcelona, headed for Italy’s fashion capital. But some time in the middle of the night, signallers in Lyon, France, sent the train more than 150 miles
off course to Zurich, the Telegraph newspaper reports. Apparently the mishap occurred when several cars of the train were split and French workers were unsure which cars were going where. The train company – run jointly by Spanish train operator Renfe and French SNCF – figured out the mistake as the train neared Geneva, Switzerland and redirected the coach to Zurich, where passengers awoke to the skyscrapers of Switzerland’s
financial city – not exactly the view they were expecting. They transferred to another train and actually got to Milan
four hours behind schedule. Still, the embarrassed train operator offered everyone a full refund.

The raffle has been organised by the firms’ Flight Seat Sales department, and local residents are especially encouraged to come into the Thomson flights office in CC El Duque (opposite the Torviscas market) in the Centro Comercial to buy the raffle tickets, which cost just one euro each. There are several tempting prizes to be won, including:

One-week stay for two (half-board) at the four-star Hotel Los Gigantes One-week for two at the three-star Hotel Paraiso Floral Three nights half-board for two at the four-star Hotel Sol, Puerto de la Cruz Weekend for two half-board at four-star Hotel El Tope Weekend for two half-board at either Hotel Arona Gran, Vulcano or Vitacora The tickets will be on sale until Friday, 10th September, when the grand draw will be made, and all winners will be contacted by telephone. Further details can also be obtained from the Thomson office. The unusual raffle is all in aid of two worthy causes, so don’t be shy, give it a try!
The goal of this initiative is to raise awareness of and reward those actions being carried out by different social organisations on the island to preserve and/or improve the landscape of Tenerife, and through the positive example set by these actions to highlight the importance of protecting our landscape and encouraging its care and appreciation. Three different categories, designed to award different initiatives and groups, have been named: Category 1: ‘Improved integration of business premises into the landscape’, aimed at small and medium businesses (less than 250 employees) in Tenerife whose premises are visible from any of the roads in the island’s transport network and which have been improved in order to enhance their integration into the natural environment and landscape.
Category 2: ‘Good public landscaping practice’, aimed at non-profit organisations (residents’ associations, cultural groups, ecological groups, etc.) on the island of Tenerife which have carried out renovation, integration or awareness-raising projects that have resulted in an improvement to the landscape of Tenerife.
Category 3: ‘Using short films to raise awareness among the young population about the protection of the island’s landscape’, open to short films of between 1 and 15 minutes in duration and made by people between the ages of 18 and 30, the subject matter of which should be the promotion of the appreciation of Tenerife’s
landscapes, the contribution of ideas for the improvement of the landscape, and the respect and involvement of the young people of the island in its conservation. Although the most important thing for those participating in this contest will be the social and institutional recognition that it affords, along with the public recognition of their efforts and the additional publicity for the prizewinners’ activities, a financial reward for the firstand second-place prizewinners in each category has also been arranged. This edition has been organised in collaboration with the European Network of Local and Regional Authorities for the Implementation of the European Landscape Convention (RECEP-ENELC), of which this organisation is a member. The deadline for presenting entries is the 17th of September and the conditions and their appendixes can be consulted in Official Provincial Bulletin (BOP) no. 160, of the 12th of August 2010. For more information, call 922 843 472 or 922 239 719.

Mum dumps child for bar booze-up A BRITISH woman, who abandoned her 11-year-old daughter on a Salou beach for two hours to go boozing, was given a sixmonth prison sentence in Tarragona on Tuesday. But as she has no previous record, and because the term was less than two years,
under Spanish law, she was given a suspended sentence. The alarm was raised by the parents of another child, who was playing with the girl. They took the child back to her hotel, and staff there decided to call the police. The mother was later found drunk by police in a nearby bar. The girl was taken to the police station and Child Protection services then took her to a specialist centre.

Facebook puts places on the map for users FACEBOOK has unveiled a new feature that lets members share their whereabouts with friends while on the move. Facebook Places is the social networking site’s first step into location-based services for people who own smartphones equipped with satellite position tracking capabilities. Members can “check-in” at restaurants, bars, or other social venues and let their friends at the social network instantly know where they are and with whom.
Wildlife experts have said reports of a colony of giant rats need to be investigated after a huge rodent was shot dead on a West Yorkshire housing estate. The culled super rat measured 30in (2.5ft) - making it as big as a bulldog - and twice the size of a normal rat. Experts believe it could be a descendent of the coypu species, a large South American rodent not seen in Britain for two decades. Brandon Goddard, 31, who shot the rat, said voluminous vermin have been invading homes on the Ravenscliffe estate in Bradford.
The launch includes an application for iPhone handsets, and members with smartphones featuring web browser software supporting geolocation and HTML5 can use it at the mobile website touch.facebook.com. The feature is initially only available in the US and while the company will eventually roll it out worldwide to its 500 million users, a spokesman for Facebook UK said its release here was some months away. “If you are not in the US you can still see if friends are using it here but you will not be able to check-in,” Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said at the launch event at the firm’s headquarters in California.
Facebook says privacy is a key feature of Places and users could control who they share location information with. The site has previously been criticised for failing to safeguard the information members post on their profiles. The commercial potential with Places is with users being able to declare wherever they are whenever they want, opening themselves up to offers, suggestions or advertisements about nearby businesses. Facebook said it had no immediate plans to pursue this, but the advertising market driven by small businesses such as restaurants and stores is estimated in the tens
of billions of dollars a year in the United States alone and has attracted online companies like Google and Yelp. The feature has been introduced as improved GPS technology in handheld phones has seen location-based social networking services like Gowalla and Foursquare become increasingly popular Their members let friends see where they are and automatically update Facebook profiles with the information. “This validates that we are onto something,” Foursquare vice-president of partnerships Holger Luedorf said at the Places launch. “We definitely want to help people connect their online and offline worlds.”

as fast as I could. Who knows how many there will be if they’ve been breeding?” Brandon, a manager at a cleaning firm, said: “The first went right past, but we got the second one. Then three more got away. “I’ve seen thousands of rats during the course of my work and go shooting a couple of times a week. But I’ve never seen any as big as this. “The one I shot was absolutely terrifying. I was shaking. Goodness knows where the others went. I’m glad I don’t live there.” People living on the Ravenscliffe estate said large rats often invade their homes and council officials have been called out to eradicate the problem.
He saw four others of the same size as he fired on the group with an air rifle.
Mr Goddard told The Sun: “They were more like Ratzillas than rats. “I got out of there

Raging bull
Desperately seeking…
THREE PEOPLE, including a 10-year-old boy, remained in hospital yesterday (Thursday) with injuries suffered when a bull charged into a crowd of terrified spectators at a bullring in Spain.
ASTURIAS, the Canary Islands and Murcia, the communities most in demand of foreign professionals.
Spanish television showed dramatic images of screaming spectators, including children, frantically trying to avoid the rampaging animal after it leapt several metres over a security barrier and then clambered over a fence and into the crowded stands Wednesday evening. The animal stumbled around the stands before falling down several steps, crushing more people, at the bullring in the town of Tafalla, in the northern Navarra region. Several employees of the bullring finally managed to get a rope around the bull after about 15 minutes, and it was killed and removed by a crane. The Navarra regional government said 32 people were treated at hospitals and clinics. Most suffered minor injuries such as bruising and were released, but three remained hospitalised Thursday. A 10-year-old boy was in serious but stable condition with “abdominal trauma” after the bull fell on him, it said in a statement. A 23-year-old woman was being treated for a crushed vertebrae, and a 47-year-old man for wounds suffered when he was gored in the lower back. Both were in stable condition. In addition to the 32, “several more” suffered shock or minor scratches and bruises, the statement said. The incident did not take place during a traditional bull-
Doctors, engineers and technicians in various sectors are the employment sectors that need to be filled mostly in Asturias, the Canary Islands and Murcia, these are offered to non-EU foreign professionals who want to come to Spain. According to the latest list of open occupations, published by the Public Employment Service each quarter, doctors from different specialisms, continue to
lead these vacancies in the absence of doctors in Asturias, Baleares, Canarias, Castilla y León, Cataluña , Murcia, Ceuta and Melilla. Murcia has been in great demand for doctors for several years, and in this case jobs advertised are for these professionals in general medicine, rehabilitation, orthopedics, anesthesiology, cardiovascular surgery, pediatrics, digestive, psychiatry and occupational medicine. Jobs are for electrical technicians, plant managers, doctors, engineers, technicians and pharmacists, among other professionals are available.
A two Year anniversary fight but during a contest of “recortadores”, in which participants try to dodge the bull while staying as close to it as possible. The bull, named Quesero, had already twice tried to jump the barrier during the event, breaking one of its horns, and was about to be removed from the arena when it launched itself into the crowd. “I was terrified. I ran out of the stadium, crying,” one young woman told the television of the neighbouring Basque region. Another young woman said, “people started to fall over each other... Then I couldn’t find my friends, what happened was awful.” “I have never felt so afraid. I’m still shaking,” one of those injured told the ABC newspaper.
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
“The bull had already made a few attempts, but I was relatively calm. And suddenly, I saw that the animal had jumped and, after staying stuck on the fence for a few seconds, it came over. Then there was chaos... There was stomping, pushing, shrieks, blows.“ The Navarra government said most of the spectators were young people who were able to react in time to avoid the bull, or the number of casualties could have been far higher. Such incidents are very unusual at bullfights. Although the animals occasionally manage to leap the security barrier they very rarely get into the stands. Wednesday’s incident came amid intense debate in Spain over the centuries-old tradition of bullfighting.
The northeastern region of Catalonia last month became the first part of mainland Spain to ban the practice, which animal activists condemn as a form of torture and others see as part of the country’s cultural heritage. In a recent opinion poll, 60 percent of Spaniards said they do not approve of the spectacle, which ends with the death of the bull from a well-placed sword. Navarra, where Tafalla is located, is famous for the traditional “running of the bulls” in the regional capital of Pamplona. Dozens of people are injured each year when the runners try to outrace bulls which charge through the old town’s narrow streets to a bullring where a bullfight is staged.

Spain joins South businesses anti-Google in need of change campaigns GOOGLE’S “Street View” mapping feature, in the news this week after a little girl was filmed pretending to be dead at the side of a Worcester road, is being investigated in Spain. It is the latest country to tangle with the Internet search giant over concerns that it violates people’s privacy while taking shots of streets. Madrid Judge Raquel Fernandino has issued a subpoena for a 4th October appearance by a Google representative. Google Spain spokeswoman Marisa Toro said the company would cooperate fully. A complaint about Google was filed in June by APEDANICA, a private Internet watchdog and technology consultancy.
The judge is inquiring into whether Google committed a “computer crime”, says APEDANICA lawyer Valentin Playa. The Spanish probe is the latest since Google acknowledged that the technology used by its “Street View” cars had inadvertently recorded fragments of people’s online activities, broadcast over public Wi-Fi networks for the past four years. The Californian company said it collected such data from public Wi-Fi networks in more than 30 countries. But it is adamant that it never uses the data and hasn’t broken any laws.
“It’s time to show our true commitment to society” that’s the message from the business associations of Adeje and Arona.
The presidents of the business associations of Adeje and Arona have recently come together to address various issues related to the business of both municipalities. This meeting reaffirmed their determination to continue working together for the businesses of Adeje and Arona, but also intends to plan actions in which they
seek the cooperation and participation of other business associations in the south. Both presidents are deeply concerned about the general economic situation and say “it seems that tourism is recovering slowly, we must not lower our guard, as we wait years where international competition is fierce, and it therefore require to change the way we work and plan. “ In this sense, they say, it’s fundamental to search for areas of collaboration between all sectors, to facilitate the achievement of decisive actions that
affect an effective way to eradicate the main problems in the area. They believe that at this time it would be useful to convene a business summit in the whole region, to sit, around a desk, with all the business groups in the area, so they have already begun a round of contacts for planning. The meeting also discussed, among other things, the possible introduction of shopping malls in the south and the negative impact this will have on local businesses, the possible joint development of Exposaldo “Opportunity
Fair”, or joint planning of marketing trade campaigns. They believe also that it is time for employers to step forward and say “it’s time to show our true commitment to society and to the land that has given us almost everything we have. With an unemployment rate close to thirty percent, it is not permissible to continue with a passive attitude as at present. We must fulfill our corporate social responsibility “in this sense and ask the entire industry to change to face the future with more assurance.
Charity challenge has a musical touch about it LIVE ARICO have cation company who dialled up a communi- plan to spread the word - and raise money for the popular animal refuge. Peace Communication SL, who launch in Tenerife later this year, plan to join forces with Live Arico and other select charities, donating up to 50% of its profits to these charities With this in mind, a team from the company have entered this year’s 12-day Lanka Challenge, to raise funds for their selected charities (Live Arico in Tenerife, Cancer Research UK, and SOS Children in Sri Lanka). The Challenge, which starts next Saturday (28th August) consists of a race around Sri Lanka in a tuk-tuk (the motorised rickshaws common
in the Far East) coupled with challenges which take in adventurous, cultural and ecological activities, all involving the local community. Peace Communication are looking for team sponsors and any donations, big or small. All monies raised in Tenerife will be split equally between Live Arico and SOS Children in Sri Lanka (an orphanage project which the team will be visiting while they are in Sri Lanka). Donations can be made direct to Live Arico by calling Debbie on 637 918 158 or Suzi on 629 338 102, or by visiting community4peace.co.uk and clicking on the donation button. You will be able to follow the team’s progress through the towns and jungles of Sri Lanka on the company’s blog site
www.communication4peace.c o.uk/lankablog which will be updated with daily videos and blogs. The Peace team - Frank and Jake Livingstone, plus Kevin Dorland - have decided that driving a tuk-tuk through a total wilderness may not be entertaining enough. So they are converting theirs into a mobile disco and plan to entertain the other teams and local communities along the way. The team are being followed by Kevin Lee and Sheila Cockwell, who will film as much of the challenge as possible for the blog.

The big Kiss-off! Double blow for trippers as travel companies go under THOUSANDS of British holiday-makers were scrambling to salvage their trips following the collapse of two travel companies in the past week. Hundreds were stranded in Spain when Birmingham firm Sun4u folded last Thursday. But there was good news for many more, who were able to get away after London-based Kiss Flights went out of business on Tuesday. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said around 1,500 Kiss Flights customers were taking flights to the Mediterranean, mainly from Gatwick and Manchester - but only until 6pm on Tuesday, when the entire operation shut down. It left around 60,000 people with forward bookings trying to arrange alternative flights through other travel agents, including those on two flights to Tenerife from East Midlands airport today
(Friday). The CAA reassured the tens of thousands of British holiday-makers already abroad on trips arranged by Kiss Flights that they would be able to continue their holidays. Kiss Flights, which operated flights to Greece, Egypt, Turkey and the Canary Islands, folded after its owner, Flight Options, ceased trading. The company’s operations were financially protected by the CAA-run Atol (Air Travel Operators Licensing) scheme, but whether all 70,000 passengers booked to travel in September will be covered remains to be seen. “People who missed flights this week can either seek compensation or go to travel agents to see if they can get an alternative flight,” said a CAA spokesman. The same information was passed on to Sun4u passengers, who should be able to get home with help from ABTA. But one woman was left
bewildered when, after booking with Sun4You, and missing out, she then made new flight arrangements with Kiss Flights. “You couldn’t make it up,” she said dejectedly. A message was posted on the website of Kiss owner Flight Options, saying the group had ceased trading as of 5pm on 17th August, and that the CAA had been informed. But the website appears to have crashed with the demand. It is understood that Kiss Flights picked up a large number of bookings following the collapse of another travel company, Goldtrail Holidays, on 17th July. Reports indicate that Sun4u and Kiss Flights had fallen victim of the Icelandic ash-cloud problems earlier this year. Leading travel companies such as Thomson and First Choice were able to absorb the millions of pounds lost during the catastrophe, which grounded aircraft all over Europe in April.

World News THE SUGGESTION that young people could change their names in adulthood to shrug off their online trail is not a practical solution, UK recruiters have said. Google boss Eric Schmidt sparked controversy when he said he expected today’s children would seek a new identity when the time came to disown the rebellious activities of their teen years, as documented on social networks. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the chief executive of the technology giant said: “I don’t believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time.” He added that one day youngsters would be entitled to change their names - and said it was an issue society must consider as firms such his own collect ever more information about their users. Because of the data Google collects, “we know roughly who you are, roughly what you care about, roughly who your friends are”, he said However, recruitment firms point out that any
www.canarianweekly.com
Name change can’t erase online past attempt to wipe out an online trail would likely raise more doubts than it covered up. “In theory, changing your name could work,” said Phill Lane, head of planning at PennaBarkers. “But it would also open you up to a huge gap in your career history, in much the same way as leaving a gap on your CV would - and that’s something that will always be investigated further at interview. “The question for candidates would be: ‘What kind of information are you hiding?’ “If it’s simply pictures of you drunk on a night out, that’s information that recruiters would not typically factor into a hiring decision - they certainly shouldn’t be. “If, however, you are trying to cover up behaviour that would reasonably jeopardise your chances of getting the job, that will likely
come out in the interview process, so there’s going to be little benefit as a candidate in doing that.” Once you are at employment age you do have to start to actively manage your online persona and take control of what you want people outside your social set to see. Dr Gill Whiteman of graduate recruiter TargetJobs added it was not just young people who might wish to withdraw information posted online. “We are all guilty of being naive about how and where our personal information is being stored, or the rules and regulations of data usage and data protection in different countries and how these change over time,” she said. Dr Whiteman added that anyone in employment ought to actively manage their online persona, and regularly Google themselves to check what an outsider could discover through a web search. The recruiters said in many cases, having a full and active online presence could actually help a young person in their future career. “It would be reasonable, for example, for an advertising agency to respond favourably to a candidate that had manipulated their digital footprint to adver-
tise themselves - it shows a grasp of the communications channels and marketing techniques,” said Mr Lane. “But it’s questionable as to whether the same tactics would help you land a job in, for example, a law firm where such an ostentatious online presence might actually be seen as a threat to client confidentiality and a lack of discre-
tion.” Based on Mr Schmidt’s comments, such awareness of the impact of a social media profile is not likely to be a fleeting consideration. The Google head described social networking site Facebook as a “company of consequence” and predicted one or two other major players would come on the scene in the near future.
Girl could lose eye A LITTLE girl could lose her eye because of an infection contracted from dog mess left in a playground. Toddler Amiee Langdon, who will be two years old next week, put her hand in faeces when she fell over in a park. Before her mother Suzanne could react, the little girl wiped her left eye with the same hand. Ms Langdon, a 29-year-old nurse from Fallowfield, Manchester, rushed to clean the eye and rinsed it with warm water once they returned home. Amiee's condition is the consequence of some thought-
Page 12
less dog owner. But it was too late to stop Amiee contracting an infection called toxocariasis, which is caused by parasitic worms in dog mess. The toddler's eye subsequently swelled up, becoming purple and inflamed. Amiee was admitted to hospital where she was immediately put on antibiotics. But, if they do not work, she will need surgery to remove the eye so the infection does not spread to her brain, which - in extreme cases - could lead to death. I hope this makes irresponsible dog owners understand the very real consequences of failing to pick up after their dogs. Amiee was playing in a gated children's area of Platt Fields
Park, Fallowfield, when she fell over. Ms Langdon said: "Amiee's condition is the consequence of some thoughtless dog owner. "It's awful. There is a sign saying 'No dogs' near the entrance to the play area, but it seems people are ignoring it. Councils must get tough." Paul Andrews, of neighbourhood services at Manchester City Council, said: "I hope this extremely upsetting incident makes irresponsible dog owners understand the very real consequences of failing to pick up after their dogs. "We are thinking about this little girl and her family and we hope she makes a speedy recovery."

Final American combat troops leave Iraq at last THE LAST US combat troops in Iraq have left the country seven years after the American-led invasion. Soldiers from the 4th Stryker Brigade crossed the turbulent country’s border with Kuwait earlier. There are now 56,000 US soldiers in Iraq, down from about 140,000 when US President Barack Obama took office in January 2009. His administration is on target to reduce troop levels to 50,000 by August 31, ending the combat mission and leaving those who remain to train Iraqi armed forces and police units. Meeting the deadline will mean Mr Obama is also on schedule to keep his promise to pull out all US service mem-
bers from the country by January 1, 2012. There are still dark forces in Iraq trying to pull the country apart. The President is facing a

war-weary American public, as his fellow Democrats aim to hold on to their control of the US Congress in elections in November. Former Republican presi-
dent George Bush launched the American-led invasion in 2003 that ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. But the war became unpopular among Americans as US deaths mounted. As of Wednesday, America’s Defence Department said there had been 4,419 US military deaths since the invasion. Mr Obama wants all US service members out of Iraq by 2012. While violence has dipped sharply since the height of sectarian warfare, from 2006 to 2007, Iraq is still extremely fragile. Its leaders have not resolved a number of politically explosive issues that could easily trigger renewed fighting. The war in Iraq has gone on longer than the US Civil War, World War I and World War II.
Fresh bid to identify unknown rail bodies TWO POLICE groups have teamed up to try to identify 20 people whose bodies were found near the rail and Tube network over the past 35 years. The National Policing Improvement Agency and British Transport Police commissioned an artist to compile sketches of 20 people - 18 males and two females whose remains were found but who were never identified. There were no suspicious circumstances surrounding any of the deaths. “All these fatalities were fully investigated at the time and all clues followed up to try to establish an identity, but without success,” said BTP’s Detective Chief Superintendent Miles Flood. “We are now taking another look to see if there is any more we can do, in some cases to see if advances in forensic techniques can help, and to appeal to the public to see if anyone recognises them. “Most of these cases are from the greater London area, where people can often be quite isolated and transient, but one is from Coventry and another - a quite recent death - in
Cornwall. “Some of these people may have had an itinerant lifestyle, but it is likely that there are still relatives or friends who may recognise them and thought they had simply moved away.” The drawings have been made by Leeds-based police facial imaging specialist Sharon McDonagh. She is one of only a handful of accredited police artists on the NPIA’s specialist database. She said: “What I try to do is to recreate what the person would have looked like alive, to breathe life back into them if you like. “The source material is a mortuary photograph, but the drawing is not just a reproduction. Rather these are interpretations that highlight certain characteristics, which people who knew the person will hopefully instantly recognise. “Although I only have a picture of a face to work from, I use all the information about that person. If you know they are of slim build for instance that will affect the way you draw their face; if you know something about their background, you can get a feel for the person.”

Mobile saves stranded Brits on Mont Blanc TWO BRITONS stranded on Europe’s highest mountain have been rescued, after they rose the alarm via SMS to a friend 1,000 miles away. The climbers, who have not been named, were forced to spend the night at 11,000ft in sub-zero temperatures on Mont Blanc. A storm had stopped them returning to their base. Rescue officials said they raised the alarm by sending a text message from the mountain’s Italian side to a friend in London, who then alerted authorities. Bad weather hampered an early search and prevented a rescue helicopter from taking off.

Wyclef Jean vows to fight for Presidency WYCLEF JEAN says he will continue to fight to stand in Haiti’s presidential election despite receiving death threats. Speaking from a hideout in his hometown of Lassere, the hip-hop star said he had moved to a place where he felt “secure” and “comfortable” after receiving phone calls threatening to kill him unless he left Haiti. “We know that the situation that we have embarked on, you know, death threats comes with the territory,” he said. Haiti’s provisional electoral council had been due to finalise the list of candidates on Tuesday but has postponed it until Friday. I think my candidacy is a wild card for the entire Haiti, every candidate, senator, deputy. I even think it’s a wild card for the international community in general. Jean said he and his legal team had made sure all the requirements had been met.
“Every piece of paper that the electoral council have asked for, we have delivered everything. “So this delay of announcing the candidacy is not on our part because we have given everything possible.” But there are questions over whether the former Fugees star is eligible to stand for the
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
presidency. Haiti’s electoral law requires candidates to have lived in the country for five consecutive years. Jean left his homeland aged nine to go to the US where he launched and developed his international music career. But he believes his appointment as a roving ambassador

THE BODIES of a young boy and a man have been found inside a house in Poole, Dorset. Police have cordoned off the home, in Queen's Road. Detectives say no one is being sought in connection with the incident, but the cause of the deaths is yet to be determined. Post mortem examinations are to be carried out on the two bodies, which were found on Wednesday
evening. Local reports said the dead boy was about five years old. Neighbour Amanda Dobson, 33, said the man had seemed friendly. "I used to see him locally and I knew him to say hello to," she said. "I didn't sleep last night after this happened. It's not nice, especially when you have children yourself." A neighbour, who declined to be named, told the Daily Echo: "I spoke to the next door neighbours when the police arrived and they said the man killed the son and himself."

World News THOUSANDS of teens who have received record-breaking ALevel results have been warned their grades may not be enough to guarantee them a university place. One in 12 of all exams was awarded the new A* top grade while more than one in four entries (27%) were awarded an A grade - up from 26.7% last year. Overall, the pass rate rose for the 28th year in a row, with 97.6% of entries getting a grade E or higher. But despite their successes, students have been warned that getting into their first choice university - or finding a course at all will be harder than ever. More than 660,000 students have applied for a university place this year. Ucas, the organisation responsible for managing applications to higher education courses, said acceptances across the UK were up by 2.3%. It said this year, a record 379,411 applicants were accepted into university or college - compared to 371,016 on results day last year. But experts predict

between 170,000 and 200,000 students will be
left without a course due to university budget cuts and
increasing competition for places. Many top universities have said they are already full. Carl Gilleard, chief executive of the Association of Graduate Recruiters, said the clearing process would be “more stressful than ever” and students should consider taking a year out. Last year, more 47,000
students found a university place through clearing. Ucas advice lines are now open - but with fewer places available, the organisation will have its work cut out to accommodate everyone. “My advice for school leavers that feel university is the right route for them, but miss out on a place this
year, is to consider getting some broader experience,” Mr Gilleard said. “Either in the workplace or by volunteering - which will help strengthen their application to university next time around.” Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union, said the Government had “betrayed” students who had achieved high grades but were unable to secure a university place. “It would be economically disastrous to squander the potential of highly talented and hard-working young people,” he said. “Economic recovery depends on investment in high-level education and skills training. If this fails to happen, the hard work of students will have been betrayed.” Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said a higher pass rate did not mean A-levels had been dumbed down. “There is no evidence that this has happened,” she said. “Denigrating the achievement of students seems to be a national sport and does nothing to reflect the immense achievement of young people and their teachers.”
Night vodka sales to be banned in Moscow NIGHT SALES of vodka and other types of strong alcohol are to be banned in Moscow in a bid to tackle the capital’s growing alcohol problem. A new minimum price for spirits is also to be introduced to stop the sale of cut-price black market booze. Mayor Yuri Luzhkov is stopping shops selling drink containing more than 15% alcohol between 10pm and 10am. It will mean Muscovites cannot buy spirits but it will not affect sales of beer and wine. Sceptics are not sure how the ban, to come into effect on September 1, will be implemented. A previous ban had prevent-

ed the sale of spirits between 11pm and 8am in Moscow. But it contained a loophole allowing shops to sell alcohol 24 hours a day in agreement with the local authorities. Earlier this summer Russia implemented a zero tolerance ban on drink-driving after President Dmitry Medvedev said Russians could still not be trusted with drink.
Alcohol abuse kills 500,000 Russians annually and impacts on male life expectancy, which is lower than in impoverished countries such as Bangladesh or Honduras. “People are not able to look after their health. This needs to be learned,” Medvedev said in a television interview in 2009.

Instead the spirit will be preserved for its historic significance and examined by experts as the original recipe no longer exists. The crate was recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton earlier this year after being found in 2006. It contained 11 bottles of Mackinlay’s Scotch whisky dating from 1896 to 1907, wrapped in paper and straw to protect them from the harsh conditions of Shackleton’s 1907 Nimrod expedition. Even though the crate was frozen solid, the whisky inside could be heard sloshing around in the bottles as Antarctica’s -30C temperature was not enough to freeze it. The whisky has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch on New

Smuggling eggs A ZIMBABWEAN man who tried to smuggle rare eggs worth £70,000 out of the country has been jailed for 30 months. Jeffrey Lendrum, 48, from Towcester, Northamptonshire, was caught with 14 peregrine falcon eggs placed in socks taped to his torso. He has a history of egg trafficking in his home country along with Canada, where he was filmed abseiling from a helicopter to steal rare eggs from the top of a tree. Lendrum, who also holds an Irish passport, was found guilty of taking 14 eggs from a nest in South Wales and attempting to export the rare bounty without a permit. He was arrested by officers as he sat in the Emirates departure lounge at Birmingham International Airport on May 3. Officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit found the eggs tied in
to socks and bandaged to his abdomen. He told the officials he was taking them abroad as a practical joke on his father, adding they were good for back pain. Bred in captivity, the eggs can be bought for around £1,500 each but gain a far higher value once hatched. Lendrum, who has homes in both Zimbabwe and South Africa, pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court on Wednesday. Eleven of the 14 eggs have been successfully incubated and eight chicks have already been reintegrated to nesting sites around the UK. The remaining chicks are currently in a wild release programme.

Bride breaks back The Apolo Centre on honeymoon after balcony fall Car park NOW OPEN
A BRIDE has broken her back in three places after falling from a hotel balcony while on honeymoon in Corfu. Carrie-Anne Freeland broke her spine in three places after losing her footing and plunging 20ft after a romantic meal with new husband Michael Dudbridge. Disaster struck just days after the couple were married and embarked on a dream honeymoon, a surprise gift from wedding guests. Now friends and family have launched a campaign to bring Carrie-Anne home after being told they will have to fork out £16,000 for a specially equipped air ambulance. An appeal has also been placed on the Millwall FC website, as the couple are fans. Mr Dudbridge, 29, from Lewisham, south London, said he and his bride were stranded on the Greek island with no
money after making the trip without any travel insurance. They wrongly believed they were covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), known as the E111. But while the card guarantees Carrie-Anne will “receive the same level of medical health care as a local resident” it does not cover any travel costs. Mr Dudbridge, a builder, said the accident happened after his wife, a primary school secretary, went out to get some fresh air after the meal. “We had literally just got married and only had another day of our honeymoon before coming home,” he said from her bedside. “We went out for dinner and when we got back CarrieAnne was feeling a bit dizzy as it’s just so hot out here. “I was lying on the bed and my wife went out onto the balcony to get some air. “The next thing I heard was a big thud and I dashed out
LOS CRISTIANOS
and saw my wife lying on the ground. “I ran down and she was trying to get up but I just said ‘don’t you dare until we get you some help’. I just lay next to her.” Mr Dudbridge added: “I’ve been sitting in the hospital, sleeping in a chair and we’re desperate to get her home. “Carrie-Anne is mainly sleeping but she has spoken to me and she’s scared to death. She’s desperate to get home to have an operation and see her family.” Doctors in Corfu will conduct further tests this week to establish how serious the injuries are. It is understood at least one of the fractures is “serious”, though it is expected that Carrie-Anne will not be left paralysed. The government warns the EHIC is “not a substitute for private travel insurance” and states that “it will not cover the costs of being brought back to the UK”.
Window traps burglar A SUSPECTED burglar had to be rescued by firefighters after getting stuck for six hours with his legs hanging out of a window. The unidentified man had been attempting to enter a house in Bow, east London. The homeowner discovered him dangling through
his window and called police. The would-be housebreaker had reportedly become stuck between 2am and 3am on Tuesday. Amused spectators watched as the man was freed at around 8.30am. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "It appears the resident had come down and found the man. He was stuck half-in, half-

out. "The man was eventually freed by London Fire Brigade who apparently removed the window frame. "The man, aged 36, was unhurt and has been arrested on suspicion of burglary." The burglar apparently emerged unscathed, wearing only tracksuit bottoms, and was taken off to a local police station.

DAVID PENNY Tales From Travels Of Years Gone By Email: David.Penny@canarianweekly.com
All things bright and beautiful... In forthcoming editions of the Canarian Weekly, DAVID PENNY will be looking at the Anglo Canarian community, its history and influences on Canarian society, and its economy. In this first report, he covers the pastoral needs of our Victorian forbearer: THE HISTORY of Protestant worship in the Canaries goes back as long as Anglican merchants and their families have been living in the Islands, with Church of England Sunday Morning Prayer services being held in private houses or business premises. The Anglican presence first became formalised in Tenerife with the opening of the English Cemetery - La Cherche, in Puerto Oratava (later to become Puerto de la Cruz). Following special trading agreements with Holland in the 17th century (the Netherlands, at this time, falling under the realm of the Spanish Crown) the Dutch had been granted freedom of religious expression within the islands. This privilege was not extended to cover mainland Spain and this factor, along with the growth of the northern European trading community, led to the need for a non-Roman Catholic cemetery. Any non-Catholics, up to this point, were buried outside the city walls in non-consecrated ground. Land was ceded to trustees for a site in Puerto Oratava and this cemetery, which is open to all faiths, is still administered by All Saints Church in Puerto de la Cruz. There is also a disused British Cemetery in Santa Cruz which is to be found next to the now-abandoned, cementerio de San Rafael y San Roque, located on Calle Jose Murphy. The land was purchased in
Page 20

1837 by British residents of the city and used for protestant burials until 1954. The cemetery should be maintained by the Ayuntamiento (town hall) of the city, and it is lamentable that this is not the case. The beginnings of the church of All Saints can be traced back to 1887, when a committee met under the chairmanship of His Grace Dr. Ingham, the Bishop of Sierra Leone. Steps were taken to erect a church, and a suite of rooms were hired, known as “The English Church Kennedy Rooms,” to serve during the interim period of construction. They also decided to open a Chaplaincy Fund for subscriptions and agreed to pay the chaplain one pound ten shillings a week, (£1.50), with any surplus funds being given to charity. In 1890, a grant of about three acres of land, (approx 12,000 m2) situated in Taoro Park, was made by the Grand British Hotel, which was then the largest hotel in Spain, and sufficient funds had been collected for work to com-
mence. Much of the donation came from a Mrs Mary Boreham, who helped enormously with fund-raising and who actually paid wholly for the construction of the Parsonage. The church held its first service on 14th June 1891, but a smallpox outbreak prevented the formal opening. This was celebrated on 1st November of that year, All Saint’s Day, with the actual consecration subsequently taking place on 15th January of 1893. The two world wars took their toll on the British community, but the church was treated with respect and consideration, as were the other British institutions of the day. And although the number of British families on the island, during World War II dwindled to just nine, they managed to maintain the church and other societies, with the help and patronage of our Canarian hosts and friends. Santa Cruz also boasted its very own Anglican place of worship in the form of St Georges, (now San Jorge). This “typical English” church
was completed on land bought for the sum of £135 in 1897. It can be found on the corner of Calle Viera Clavijo and La Plaza de 25 de Julio, known locally as Plaza de los Patos, (Square of the Ducks). Prior to this, Prayer Meetings were held in the house of Mr Hugo Hamilton, an illustrious family in the
Anglo Canarian community in this city. But because of falling congregation numbers over the years, the building was handed over, in recent times, to the Roman Catholic authorities and is in regular use to this day. The story in Las Palmas is a similar one with the British Cemetery, dating back to 1835, sited on land donated by the Corporation of Las Palmas. The Cemetery received other donations and the land was prepared. On 14th December of that year, the first burial took place - and it has been used ever since as the final resting place for sailors, soldiers, clergy, missionaries, doctors (many of whom had stopped off on their way back from Africa for convalescence) and those connected with the port, city and international trade. The city also has its own Anglican Church, The Holy Trinity, which is on Calle Rafael Ramiriz in the Cuidad Jardin
(Garden City) area of Las Palmas. This church was also initiated following the visit of Bishop Ingham to the island on 16th November 1887. The site was purchased and the foundation stone laid in 1891. The following year the Christmas service attracted a full congregation in the newly-completed church. With the decline of the Empire, the Anglican churches on the islands no longer fall under the bishopric of Freetown (Sierra Leone) but are administered as part of the “Chaplaincy in Europe”, which forms part of the Church of England. An annual report is submitted to the Archdeaconry of Gibraltar Synod. All of the above sites are well worth a visit, if only to appreciate the architectural beauty and the Victorian craftsmanship - and also to experience a little bit of history left behind by our ex-pat predecessors.

Return of the X Factor THE search begins to find the new star of this year’s X Factor and there will be some new faces on the judging panel. The seventh series of the ITV show will be presented by Dermot O’Leary, as usual, with Konnie Huq taking over from Holly Willoughby as presenter of Xtra Factor, over on ITV2. With Dannii Minogue absent on maternity leave during the
first few auditions, special guest judges Katy Perry, Pixie Lott, Gerri Halliwell and Nicole Scherzinger will be seen alongside regulars Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole. Rumours suggest that 2008 X Factor winner Alexandra Burke will also be a stand-in judge for Dannii. Singer Dannii, whose baby, Ethan, was born on 5th July in Mebourne, will return for the judges’ House stage, and for the live finals.
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
The Aussie really has been a busy bee because she has also been a judge on this year’s
Australia’s Got Talent, alongside her reality TV show Style Queen. Cheryl Cole was also missing from the initial stages of the X Factor this year after a serious bout of malaria, caught while on holiday in Tanzania. But the feisty singer is fully fit again and raring to go, especially with some back-up from other female judges. “It’s lovely for me that there are other women on the panel,” said Cheryl. “I couldn’t be sitting
between those miserable soand-so’s Simon and Louis on my own! I love having other
women with us.” Each of the four categories Boys, Girls, Groups and Overs (28-plus this year), will again be mentored by one of the judges throughout the competition. So, could we unearth another superstar, like Leona Lewis, JLS or Alexandra Burke? Or will it be another lost Leon Jackson? Tune in to ITV tomorrow night (Saturday) from 7 to 9.30 to start the search.

Now, that’s what I call seriously heavy metal! Poor P Diddy’s take a tumble P DIDDY, who earned 30 million dollars in the last 12 months between June 2009 and June 2010, has been knocked off the Forbes’ richest list of rappers by Jay-Z.
with P Diddy falling to second place, Kanye West was at third, followed by Acon, Lil Wayne, Eminen, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland.
In the same period, Jay-Z racked up 35 million dollars through album sales, downloads, tours, merchandise and his multi-collaborations. His record label, Roc Nation, has bumped up his earnings, no doubt, but he still has a long way to go to top his wife’s earnings. Beyonce has reputedly clocked up 87 million dollar bills in the past 12 months. Jay-Z, who holds the record for the most No1 albums on the US Billboard chart, climbed two places on the Forbes Richest Rappers list,
THIS WEEK sees the release of Iron Maiden’s 15th studio album, The Final Frontier, which has been leading the race to the No1 spot with impressive first-day sales. Some 22,000 copies were snapped up by the Heavy Metal band’s legion of followers within hours of its UK release. This latest and, some say, last album, would be the band’s first to debut at No1 since 1988’s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Iron Maiden are a strictly British Heavy Metal outfit, and have been since their beginnings in the late Seventies. Chief vocalist Bruce Dickinson has given them their distinctive wail and
war-cries since joining in 1981. Each album has progressed in technology through their 30 years, but the grit and growl of guitarists Dave Murray and Adrian Smith’s riffs has characterised Maiden’s unique style on every album, including this one. It’s not unusual to get four or five-star reviews for a rock band from a rock magazine like Classic Rock or Kerrang!, but Maiden have achieved this again. International reviewers also sing high praises for a band who, let’s face it, are no longer the cub scouts of the business. At 52 and 53 years of age, they have proven with The Final Frontier that like a good wine, rockers mature with age. With only ten songs on this latest release, it is the longest album to be released from the London band. The running
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
time of 76 minutes leaves plenty of room for melodic intervals, heavy guitar-laden, two-minute assaults on the senses, and plenty of drum solos. A European and North American tour began in Dallas in June to support the CD, and will end next year in Australia. The first song on the album, Satellite 15 … The Final Frontier, had led to rumours that it could be the final album from Maiden. But a in a recent interview, the band stated that it would not necessarily be the closing chapter on one of Britain’s most prolific Heavy Metal exports. The band have courted controversy over the years. Rumours of Satanic overtones, especially for the 1982 album The Number of the Beast, led to bonfires across the US Christian communities
as the album was publicly burned. Chile even went as far as banning The Mighty Maiden from performing in the country, amid fears that the teenage population would convert to the Dark Side. In actual fact, the band conform to no religious viewpoint, and believe the stories told in their songs to be tales of total fantasy. The Final Frontier may well beat Eminem’s album Recovery to this week’s UK No1 album spot. The tour will almost certainly be a sell-out, and The Iron’s riffs will be learned by a new generation of teenage bedroom guitarists and drummers. We will also see the back catalogue re-entering the charts as new fans find Iron Maiden just as fascinating and evocative as the past three generations did.
Nothing cold about this red-hot band COLDPLAY look to increase their lead as one of the richest British bands of the new Millennium as they sign a new record deal. Universal have signed a new mega-deal with the Viva la Vida hit-makers, said to be worth multi-millions. The band will leave BMG after ten years to strike out on the new deal. A new album is on its way for 2011, and the band said recently that the new album has Killer Tunes all over it, and may follow their cleansweep of all four previous
albums getting the UK No1 spot. But LP5 is being kept under wraps until the New Year, when pre-releases will be sent to radio stations around the globe to generate media interest. Their 2009 Viva la Vida album was a global success, rising to the top spot in 11 countries, which almost topped 2005’s X&Y. But with slightly fewer sales, it was still the biggest selling album in the world for 2008/2009. Coldplay have shifted 50 million albums worldwide during their 10-year career, and look to extend their popularity into a new decade under the wings of Universal records.

JOE ‘IN MY OPINION’ FERGUSON Weekly Update Email: joe.ferguson@canarianweekly.com
Holding back the years I HAVE no idea what is going on with me. Lately, I have been looking back on years gone by. Not that I’m feeling nostalgic, like we all can sometimes. Not that I’m listening to music that takes us back to a place where we can clearly remember what we were doing and who we were doing it with. No nothing like that at all, although right now I am wishing it was, actually. I blame Pierce Brosnan, the former James Bond. He is all over the TV at the moment, advertising the L’Oreal range of men’s skincare products. It must work as he is 57, which is 12 years older than me. He looks great in the commercial, and I wouldn’t like it to me! I got a friend from England to post me over this product because, with postage and packing, it was much cheaper than buying it over here. So, for three weeks, I have been doing exactly what it says in the instructions. Every day I have been looking in the mirror, which I have always hated doing. But even psychologically, I should be able to convince myself that it is working. But no, I see no difference. Where once there were cute dimples, there are just lines of aging. I had quite an action hero’s jawline. Now, with the stretching of the skin, it looks like an ill-fitting mask from Mission Impossible. For a few years, I was able to carry off the designer stubble look with ease. Twenty-four hours after a shave, I need to do it all over again now as I my beard is so white that I look like Father Christmas. I don’t feel sorry for myself. I just don’t know what has happened in the last few years. I am happier than I have ever been in my life, so I need to know what has gone wrong? So, to solve this puzzle, I have been thinking back to a few highlights in my life which make me smile. Going to the seaside would always
Page 36
be the family day out. Not a lot of money in the Ferguson household back in the day. So all six of us in the family would make our way to the train stop (it was not a station where I was brought up) to head off to that magical place called Bangor, County Down. I remember the jealous looks from my pals as we answered their questions as to where we were going. I felt like one of the Royal family as we boarded the train, knowing it was only a matter of time before the smell of seaweed, fish and chips and candyfloss filled my nostrils. Smells like that always take me back to places and events that I had forgotten about. This week, I have had a stinking cold and have been relying on throat lozenges. As soon as I opened the wrapper, the memories of the one thing I always hated as kid came flooding back. “Syrup of Figs”. No matter it was in our house this product, clearly made by the Devil, was brought out. As a matter of fact, in the medicine cupboard there were only two products to be found and nothing else: Milk of Magnesia and the Syrup. If one didn’t work you had to take the other. Taken as a combination
you knew you were pretty much close to death. The stench of the syrup was well known toy my neighbours. I am sure many people came round and said that they noticed I had a sneeze while talking to their kids … just to see me hide in the corner as my mum made a rush for the medicine box. In my teens I was trying, as many 13-year-olds do, to be cool. I watched the James Dean, Marlon Brando and Elvis movies. They always seemed to have a bottle of Coca Cola in their hand. To this day I love the stuff. The small, classic bottles in the late 70s were always easy to come by as the plastic onelitres were years away from being invented. When I had a Coke bottle in my hand I was transported to California, ready to hop on my motorcycle to have a great adventure. I was a one-off
then and looked a bit of weirdo. But then Pepsi decided to bring out their classic “Lip smacking Pepsi Cola” commercial with a Fonz lookalike, and everybody was then wearing leather jackets over a white T-shirt, even in the blazing heat! So I grew out of it all because I was pretty happy that I did it out of real and original Americano, through watching the classic movies of that era. Not because a guy in a sports jacket and bad flares copied the Happy Days TV show. Then, obviously, the movie Grease came out, and all you could see were loads of blokes trying to be John Travolta, and the ladies wanting to be Olivia! I see old friends to this day who still call me “Drainpipe”. When everybody was wearing flared jeans, I had to get the drainpipe look. I was wearing these things long before the punk years. So in your face, Sex Pistols. As my friends started to get into classic Rock ‘n’ Roll because of the 50s nostalgia, I reverted to flares because of the disco music coming out of New York, and then Saturday Night Fever. That lasted about two months because the style
hated me, it seemed, but the music was and still is just the best. I mentioned Coca Cola, and little did I know that in my late teens, early 20s, I would be working for that company. It lasted five years of what I consider to have been the best job in my life. I was a helper in a lorry delivering. Sun, rain and snow, my driver, Charlie Key, and I would head out to take this beautiful drink to pubs and shops all over Northern Ireland. I did a lot of growing up then. as it was a horrible time because of the “troubles”, and I had to wise up very quickly. But I am a protestant and was delivering into catholic areas. Places where it was known to be extremely dangerous. So why was I always happy to be in these places? Because it simply did not matter where you came from, or what you did. Forget what you seem to think of Belfast. It was the time that I noticed all was not what it seemed to be. I was shown that the majority did not want what was going on in my home country. I smile when, as a little protestant, I think back to the cups of tea I was drinking with my new catholic friends.
Oh, the many jobs I had after 1988, the many morons I worked for, including the boss of a certain chemists I would still love to meet up with to give him a piece of my mind because he fired me That is one chip on my shoulder I need to get rid of. Then came the day I will never forget, when it all fell into place. It was 1990, on the day of the Radio One Road Show. I was always pretending to be a Dj with the record-player, reading out requests for my family in the house. They would laugh, but I was actually being so serious about it. But this particular day, when I sat in awe of Mike Read and Philip Schofield, was like the awakening I needed. I wanted to have all this. They were being screamed at by girls, and I liked that. The excitement of all the trucks and the equipment looked so cool. And I have never looked back. I worked alongside Phil twice and shared a cabin aboard a yacht in Cannes with Mike Read. I told them how they influenced me to be on radio, and they could not believe that this bigmouth bloke from Belfast looked on them as an influence. And from then on, as they say, the rest is history. I would be here all week writing about the smiles in my nearly 20-year-career on radio. Oh my God … 20 years! I guess I just have to accept the fact that time really is going by so quickly. So yes, it has a lot to do with the ageing process. No matter how many times James Bond sells me a lotion to slow the hands of time, it will creep up on me soon enough. Those lines on my face that were once cute dimples? I don’t mind at all now. I know that those lines mean many, many years of happiness and laughter. So all I can hope for is that they get deeper as time comes along. Maybe I look old, and I can accept that. But I will never feel it. All thanks to my memories. Joe

Apple iPad mini is a Christmas stocking-filler APPLE is believed to be planning to release a mini iPad that could be on shop shelves in time for Christmas. Details of a seven-inch version of the iPad have been reported in a Chinese newspaper that correctly predicted the specifications of the iPad months before anyone else. The Economic Daily News claims Taiwanese companies have won several contracts to make components smaller than those used on the current 9.7-inch iPads. “Chimei Innolux will supply seven-inch LCD screens, which use the same IPS (inplane switching) technology found in the original iPad, which improves viewing angles and colour on LCD screens,” the newspaper reported. “Touchscreen technology for the screens will come from Cando Corporation.” Apple intend to launch the smaller iPad this December
in time for the Christmas shopping season, according to Economic Daily News sources. Geek.com blogger Christian Zibreg said, if the so-called iPad mini becomes the iPad nano of tablets, Apple might have a huge hit on their hands. The rumoured new version is predicted to be 200g lighter than the standard iPad. That model sold three million units in the 80 days following its release in April this year.
Retail sales soaring to boost the high street
THE HIGH STREET avoided a World Cup hangover in July as retail sales volumes jumped 1.1%, figures have showed. The performance was nearly three times faster than expected and represented the highest month-on-month rise since February, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. A strong rise in volumes for a broad mix of retailers, including sports equipment and jewellery shops, offset a
flat month for department stores and lower household goods sales, the ONS said. Analysts had forecast a rise of 0.4% on July. On the year, sales were up 1.3% against a forecast of 0.6%. Shoppers are likely to have been tempted by price cutting after inflation figures showed the biggest slide in clothing and footwear prices for eight years between June and July. But sales volumes from
VAT is set to be hiked to 20% in January as part of the Government’s deficit-busting package. Looming public sector belttightening and fears over unemployment are also likely to dent consumer confidence. David Tinsley, UK economist for National Australia Bank, said: “This retail sales data does suggest that the economy still has some momentum behind it, it’s optimistic for the public finances as well.”
Honeymoon over for wedding retailer ALMOST 50 staff have lost their jobs and five shops closed after a leading wedding supplies business fell into administration. An urgent search for a buyer for Manchester-based retailer Confetti has begun, with Monday August 23 set as the early closing date for offers. Administrator RSM Tenon said it moved quickly to close all the group’s stores in Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham, Reading and London - and retained just under half its staff in an
Page 38
food stores were down 1% month on month, as the impact of the World Cup faded while prices also rose. Household goods stores saw volumes fall 0.7% month on month, as the pre-tournament boom in flat-screen televisions faded slightly. Overall sales volumes were up 1.3% on a year earlier, although concerns remain over the prospects for the high street as the Chancellor George Osborne’s austerity measures loom.
attempt to save its web business. Confetti, founded in 1999, provided a range of wedding and party supplies through its shops, mail order division and website. The Manchester-based company had a turnover of £5.7m and nearly eight million hits online every a month, earning it the Best Wedding Website prize in the BT Online Excellence Awards. Manchester-based company was founded in 1999 and grew turnover to £5.7m Kenny Craig, director with RSM Tenon in Glasgow, said: “Confetti is a very high-pro-
file, market-leading online brand and enjoys a large customer base. “The business has great potential for further development and the administration presents an outstanding opportunity for a retail business or entrepreneur to acquire an immediate presence in the wedding and celebrations market. “We would urge interested parties to make contact in the next day or two to ensure they have a chance to bid for the business.” Forty-six jobs are being retained to support the online business and provide administrative services.

The charms of palms Like the others, it loves the warm climate, but even in England the Dracena can withstand mild winters in sheltered gardens, where frosts aren’t too harsh. It is also commonly grown as an indoor plant, in the UK or over here, and it will quickly bring the inside of your home to life. Water once a week at the most, and, make sure it doesn’t become waterlogged for long periods of time. Phoenix Canariensis Here’s another great Tenerife favourite, as the name suggests, and it’s probably the one you see most of all on your travels throughout the Island. The Phoenix is a natural for your patio and it is really easy to look after. In fact, it’s best left to its own devices because it requires so little maintenance apart from a drop of water from time to time. Again, it can flourish in England if protected against the frost, but it really is at home in sunny Tenerife. To start with it will have a stout stem, but it will eventually grow its familiar long-scaled trunk. A word of warning, though. The leaves carry the sharpest of pointed ends, like needles, and can be very painful if you come into contact with them. Be extremely careful when pruning the leaves as they
PATIOS here in Tenerife do not have to be awash with colour all the time, even though hanging baskets and planters brighten up the place and put a smile on your face. But for those of you who are out working most days, or simply don’t fancy keeping an eye on your plants all the time, palm trees are an ideal solution. And there’s nowhere better than to seek out a good selection of palms than right here on the Island. Garden centres always have good stocks in, unsurprisingly. So, should you spot an unusual tree amidst all the regular Washington and Phoenix lining our roads, a quick search around the centre will almost certainly reveal what you are looking for. Palm trees and shrubs require little attention, and there’s no need to worry about the hot conditions because, like us, that’s what they’re here for! Of course, they love a good soaking now and then, but it is surprising how long they can maintain their richness and good looks without water, so there’s no need to worry if you do go away for a week or so. Also, they are happy to sit in a decent-size tub or pot for years, which cuts out the problem of what to do with shrubs or trees when they start creeping up and up. They have a much slower growing rate than if they were in the ground because they get root-bound eventually, and will keep you company for years. One of my pals ahead a real eye-opener a few years ago when he found a poor Washington plant abandoned by a basura in an old blue bucket. It was only about a foot tall, with just one leaf striving against the odds to make an appearance. It looked so pitiful that he took it home and planted it in right in the middle of his little front garden. Miraculously, with regular
watering, it flourished and after a year it was a healthy three feet high. It continued to grow into a magnificent tree and before the fourth year was out, it had virtually taken over the garden, standing some 10ft tall with a trunk you could barely put your arms around. In the end, it was too overpowering, and my pal’s community gardeners were happy to take it off his hands and replant it on the complex. So keep your plants/trees in pots if you do not want to be overwhelmed by them in years to come. Here are some of the palms you will encounter at garden centres, and remember, small is not only cheaper but best, because you can watch the tree or shrub develop right on your patio. Trachycarpus fortunei This attractive, fan-type plant with glossy leaves is perfect for creating an exotic look on your patio. Its tolerance to drought, together with its tough leaves and trunk make it the perfect choice for coastal areas. It’s really easy to look after,
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
as well. Simply put it straight on the patio in its pot and leave to its own devices. It really is a toughie and requires virtually no maintenance. Give it a good dose of water for starters, and a sprinkle now and then, and it will reward you with its glorious structural foliage all year long. Washingtonia Palm The Washington is one of the Island’s most common palms and you’ll see them everywhere. They are drought-resistant, needing watering only now and then, and look magnificent if well tended. As they grow bigger, the
grow bigger because they “strike” when you’re not looking. Best bet is to call in a tree surgeon. He’s used to all the jabs, and knows how to avoid contact most of the time. Chamaerops Humilis This another attractive, fantype plant with glossy leaves, which can only add to the sunny disposition of your patio. Again, it’s another tough cookie and needs little attention, apart from a splash of water every week or so. That’s the beauty of these palms, as you will find out if you get the bug for growing them. Pistacia Lentiscus Here’s an evergreen shrub with a difference - it produces clusters of tiny, brightred flowers all year round. It needs watering more than the palms, so keep an eye on it, and will make a pretty addition to your patio, breaking up that all-green look. Yucca Jewel The crowning Jewel! Yuccas grow just about anywhere, and this variety is no different. It has extremely attractive leaves, again to add a hint of colour among the palms. And, like them, it doesn’t require much loving. It thrives in coastal regions, which will suit most of us around the south, and is extremely tolerant to drought, which is just as well in these parts!
Washington, aptly named “Robusta”, forms a really attractive shape and can be pruned when necessary. But don’t try this unless you know what you are doing. Get the advice and assistance from a registered tree surgeon. They don’t charge much, and the knowledge they can impart on plant maintenance makes it so worthwhile. Dracena Indivisa The Dracena, a really pretty palm-type shrub, is perfect for creating an exotic look and lives happily on a patio. Give it a good dose of water for starters and it will reward you with its glorious foliage all year long.

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions
DANNI BYRNE Keeping you fit Email: danni.byrne@canarianweekly.com
Email: carl.pattison@canarianweekly.com
it comes Shaping the When to the crunch… ‘New You’ OVER THE next month I’ve decided to answer some of the common questions I get asked, as a personal trainer, on a regular basis.
IF it’s a new look you’re after, there are many factors to consider, so let’s start at the beginning. First of all, why do you want a change? Are you bored? Is it your age? Or perhaps you’ve got a special date coming up, such a wedding etc? Whatever the reason, you’ve decided on a change, so now you ask yourself: “Okay, where do I start?” Right, you need some ammunition, so get together photos of what you’ve had before, of what you liked and didn’t like. Look for styles in magazines and the internet anything to show to your stylist what you do and don’t want. Don’t think that us stylists are bothered by you telling us, because any professional will welcome the help and assistance. The best way to approach your stylist is to book a consultation prior to the appointment. This can take minutes or longer, depending on how sure/unsure you are of what is to be carried out. During this consultation, show your stylist your ideas and then let him/her take over. Listen to the advice given - and even if it’s contrary to what you want listen to, why they are telling you
Page 40
this? They may be telling you that you can’t go for a short blonde bob when you have thick, curly, dark hair. Yes, it may be what you want, but the stylist wants it to suit you totally, and not look ridiculous when you come to leave. If, during your consultation, you feel that the stylist isn’t listening or interested, then that’s your opportunity to think twice about booking an appointment. Never be bullied into making a date if you lack confidence in the stylist’s words or advice. Okay, so if you’ve decided to go ahead with your chosen style and/or colour, then during this appointment, just carry on asking questions about the procedure. There’s no point questioning something later when the work is finished. Be inquisitive and ask why the stylist is
doing this, and what’s this going to do to my hair, etc. I’m often too honest and give too many explanations regarding my work, but rather this than an upset client. Also, ask about maintenance and upkeep of your style, and when you should return for a cut and colour, etc, and how long you can expect to get out of a cut and colourIf you’re the less-is-more type, then a cut and colour that needs doing every four weeks isn’t for you, is it? There are some looks to inspire and these don’t suit everyone, but they can be adapted to most face shapes. Remember, we as hairdressers aren’t magicians. We can work only with what we are given but, with your help and our expertise, you’re sure to find a “New You”.
Some are quite basic, while others are more complex and can cover a huge area. If you are in any doubt about your health and starting up an exercise plan, please consult your doctor for a check-up. It will put your mind at ease and motivate you to get started. They are quite simple and should be done on a yearly basis. So let’s get some common areas covered. Q: Why are my crunches hurting my neck so much? Am I doing them wrong? A: Yes and no. Doing abdominal exercises can strain the neck simply because the average head weighs 8-12 lbs (3.55.5k). When your neck muscles are weak, you will really feel that strain. A way to improve this is to perfect your form. First of all, don’t pull on your head. Place your fingertips behind your ears, not on your neck. You want to support the weight of your head without pulling on your neck and creating strain. Try picking a spot on the ceiling to stare at in order to keep your chin off your chest. Make sure when doing the crunch that you are pulling your stomach muscles down towards the spine and that
you breathe out on the way up. Also, remember that as you continue to work out, the muscles in your neck will get stronger and you will be better able to tolerate the discomfort. Q: I really like how my quads and hams have started tightening up, but my inner thighs have a long way to go. Any suggestions for exercises that will help this area? A: Sadly, this is where your body chooses to deposit its fat. Genetically speaking, your body is predisposed to carry weight there, so that will be the last place it’s going to come off. The best thing you can do is watch what you eat and keep training. This will help you lose weight in general and, eventually, those problem areas will have to give! That said, if strengthening the muscles in this area is the goal, I prefer old-school, Jane Fonda leg-lifts. They target the muscle you want to hit without creating bulk. Put a soft-ball or cushion between your legs and pulse your
upper legs together. Try doing it when the adverts are on. I know this isn’t exactly the answer you’re looking for, but it’s the truth, and if you stay the course, your inner thighs WILL tighten up. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Q: I’m trying to learn to listen to my body and eat only when I am hungry, and sometimes I just don’t really want anything to eat. Is it okay to skip meals, or to eat fewer than the recommended calories? A: You should NOT skip meals because this causes so many adverse effects. Not only does it slow your metabolism but it can also lead to overeating, because when you do eat, you’re overly hungry. As for cutting your calories below your recommended allowance, remember this golden rule: never allow your daily calorie allowance to fall below 1,200 if you are a woman, and 1,500 if you are a man. Falling below these daily allowances can do real damage to your metabolism and result in excessive loss of lean muscle tissue. When you reduce your calories dramatically on a consistent basis, it can slow your metabolism or trigger a plateau. Consistent exercise, plus the occasional high-calorie day, will help ward off a plateau. Danni’s tip: go easy on yourself! When you try to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight, it’s easy to burn out. But when you start with one small, realistic change and put your energy into making it a habit, the chances are a lot better that it will stick. You can do it!

How sunshine can help you protect against Parkinson’s RESEARCHERS in Finland believe that high levels of the sunshine-enhancing vitamin D may decrease your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease later in life.. Their study of 3,000 people, published in Archives of Neurology, found people with the lowest levels of the vitamin had a threefold higher risk. It’s a fantastic advert for living in Tenerife, perhaps, because experts believe vitamin D, made mostly in the body when the skin is
exposed to sunlight, could be helping to protect the nerve cells gradually lost by people with the disease. Parkinson’s disease affects several parts of the brain, leading to symptoms like tremor and slow movements. The researchers, from Finland’s National Institute for Health and Welfare, measured vitamin D levels from the study group between 1978 and 1980, using blood samples. They then tracked these people over 30 years to see whether they actually developed Parkinson’s disease. They found that people with the lowest levels of vitamin D were three times more
likely to develop Parkinson’s than the group with the highest levels. But the charity Parkinson’s UK said further research was required. Apart from sunlight, some vitamin D comes from foods such as oily fish, milk or cereals. But, as people age, their skin becomes less able to produce the vitamin. Doctors have known for years that vitamin D helps calcium uptake and bone formation. But current research now shows that it also plays a role in regulating the immune system, as well as in the development of the nervous system. In an editorial in US journal Archives of Neurology, Marian
Evatt, assistant professor of neurology at Emory University School of Medicine, says that health authorities should consider raising the target vitamin D level. “At this point, 30 nanograms per millilitre of blood or more appears optimal for bone health in humans,” he writes. “However, researchers don’t yet know what level is optimal
for brain health, or at what point vitamin D becomes toxic for humans, and this topic deserves close examination.” Dr Kieran Breen, director of research at Parkinson’s UK, said: “The study provides further clues about the potential environmental factors that may influence or protect against the progression of Parkinson’s.
“A balanced, healthy diet should provide the recommended levels of vitamin D. But further research is required to find out whether taking a dietary supplement, or increased exposure to sunlight, may have an effect on Parkinson’s, and at what stage these would be most beneficial.”
Why we get so browned off when it comes to a great tan YOU can lie out in the sun all day and every day in search of an allover tan. But you can forget that goldenbrown glow. Scientists (from Scotland, admittedly) believe it is mission impossible. They say a consistent tan is impossible because some areas of the body are much more resistant to tanning than others, so getting rid of those white bits may never happen. The University of Edinburgh researchers say the results of a study they have undertaken explain why holidaymakers find it so hard to achieve an even tan. The findings reveal that the buttock is much more resistant to sun than other areas. But, when it does get some
colour and goes red, it still tans less well than other parts. The study, published in the Experimental journal Dermatology, also found that people with no freckles tanned far more easily. Scientists, funded by the Medical Research Council, ran the study to determine why different types of skin cancer were found in different parts of the body, especially as they were all caused by sunshine. The team wanted to identify whether this was linked to variations in the way different areas go brown. So they analysed the skin of 100 volunteers, exposed to six doses of UVB radiation on two areas: back and buttock. After seven days, skin was tested to find what colour remained after redness died
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
down. This colour, seen as a suntan, comes from melanin, which stops skin from absorbing too much UVB. Study leader Jonathan Rees, Professor of Dermatology at the university, said: “One puzzle is why tumour numbers differ so much, depending on the site. “Our work shows that we are made up of different units of skin, which respond differently to sun and may afford different degrees of protection.” Dr Jodie Moffat, of Cancer Research UK, said: “Tanning is a sign that skin has already been damaged.” And he was hardly quoting rocket science when he added: “For people with fair skin, freckles or moles, tanning is difficult without burning. They should take extra care against sunburn.”

Carlos Restaurant APART from being iconic entertainers, there can’t be much that links the late Harry Secombe and Boy George. It appears, however, that both were rather partial to the culinary creations of Portuguese chef Joao Martins. Having spent many years as chef proprietor of a popular Devon eatery, Joao and his wife, Mandy, made the decision to relocate to Tenerife in 2006. Nearly five years on and the couple’s restaurant, Carlos, continues to thrive, with residents and tourists alike flocking to experience some of the best international cuisine to be found in the South. I have had the pleasure of
Page 42
eating at Carlos on a number of occasions. However, having heard through the grapevine that the restaurant’s spacious outside terrace had recently undergone a major refurbishment, I thought it only polite to pay another visit. Carlos is ideally-located under Club Atlantis, a stone’s throw from the popular Puerto Colón beach. Walking on to the terrace, I was amazed at the transformation. A stunning Bedouinstyle canopy in soft terracotta tones covers the entire area. And four huge ceiling lights, whose handsomely-styled, cutout metalwork recalls the beautiful hand-wrought lamps of a Moroccan marketplace, cast a warm glow over the diners. Flowering shrubs and plants, and the tinkling of a fountain,
further help create the impression of an oasis of tranquillity. Carlos is very much a family business. Mandy Martins heads the friendly and efficient team of waiting staff, and even teenage son Luke has now been drafted in to help behind the scenes. Nibbling on some delicious Prawn and Beetroot Crostini, and sipping a glass of chilled rosé wine, we perused the menu. Given that Joao was born and raised in Madeira, his signature dishes, as you would expect, include some traditional Portuguese fare. The menu also features an inventive medley of Italian, French and Far Eastern influences, from Tagliatelle with Salmon and Prawns through to Thai Green Curry. A good selection of meats, including steaks and New Zealand lamb, should satisfy the carnivores, while fresh fish is a particular speciality of the house. Vegetarians are certainly not overlooked, with a selection of starters including Breaded Brie, served with Fruits of the Forest Dip, and mains such as Mushroom and Vegetables in Brandy and Cream Sauce, served with Rice. Daily specials complete this unparalleled offering. Accompanying this fare is a good wine list, catering for all tastes and budgets. Prices start from 12 euros for the house selection, rising to 60 euros for a bottle of Moët et Chandon Champagne. I can also recommend Mandy’s home-made Sangria, but with one caveat: it packs quite a punch! Back to our dinner, and although Melon with Spanish Cured Ham Drizzled with Olive Oil sounded tempting, I decided to opt for one of Carlos’ more unusual starters,
Stuffed Peaches filled with Chicken. Topped off with melted cheese these melt-inthe-mouth creations certainly didn’t disappoint. My partner, meanwhile, in a nod to Joao’s culinary roots, went for the Prawns Piri Piri. This is apparently one of the restaurant’s most popular starters, and it’s not hard to see why. The combination of tender prawns in a sauce of tomatoes, cream, mushrooms, onions and chilli that was spicy without being overpowering, was delicious. For my main course, I took Mandy’s advice and chose the Espedata de Madeira, a traditional dish of succulent beef kebab, hanging on a skewer dripping with garlic butter. The other half, meanwhile, plumped for Fish Portuguese, tender white fillets, topped with tomatoes, garlic, white wine, cream, prawns and mushrooms. He was amazed at how moist the fish was - so much so that he sought out Joao to commend him personally! Our host revealed that the
secret was in the preparation, with all the fish on the menu grilled in lemon and butter rather than on the plancha. All main courses, unless otherwise stated, are served with chef’s potatoes and a selection of vegetables, and we finished our meal pleasantly sated. Full as we were, it would have been churlish to refuse dessert. While my partner went for some light-as-a-
feather, home-made cheesecake, I decided to show some admirable restraint by ordering the fruit kebab! By now the restaurant was full, both on the terrace and in the beautifully-designed interior, complete with its high end but comfortable furnishings, subtle decorations and soft lighting. There were a number of families enjoying both the food and the surroundings. Children are well catered for at Carlos, with a range of special menus starting from just five euros. In addition, many of the main dishes can be served in small portions. Not surprisingly, Carlos is busy 12 months of the year, with Christmas Day lunch and a New Year’s Gala Dinner particularly lively affairs, so reservations are always advisable. As we left this charming establishment, we couldn’t help but feel that Devon’s loss has been very much Tenerife’s gain! Located on Av Colón, CC Club Atlantis, San Eugenio, Puerto Colón, Carlos opens from Monday to Saturday, 6pm until late. For reservations call 922 712 257 or 634 703 133.

them on Sunday, so proceed with caution, if at all.
Leo July 24-August 23 An offer to attend a social event should turn out to be most beneficial to your career as you are put before an array of interesting and influential people. Have faith in a loved one to act in your best interests concerning a minor financial matter. Wear blue for luck in a work confrontation. But don’t worry - you can afford to be smiling. Virgo Aug-24-Sept23 Try not to let a new face intimidate you with his or her different approach to a problem you have been facing. Confidence is everything if you are to ever prove to yourself that you can succeed, both socially and professionally. Aries and Leos offer an instant attraction. You’ll be able to sort out those financial issues shortly. Libra Sept 24-Oct 23 You will have to give a loved one the space he or she needs if you are to ever obtain that harmony you are seeking. We all have our funny ways and our faults, Libra, and it would be as wrong for you to restrict them as it would for them to confine you. Your main problem is that you can’t get that ex off your mind. Scorpio Oct 24-Nov 2 You’re likely to find yourself shying away from group arrangements, and planning private time to sort out what you’re going to do about the personal quandary that has evolved. It may be in your best interests to talk to the person concerned, who’s sure to be able to provide you with any answers you’re looking for. Sagittarius Nov 23Dec 21 It’s the abode that is going to be demanding both your attention and your cash, and many Sagittarians will be preparing for excit-
ing visitors. Romance is forecast for the weekend and you must prepare yourself to hear declarations of love from someone who has been acting rather distant recently. All in all, this could turn out to be a very dramatic week for you. Capricorn Dec 22Jan 20 You must sort out what you can afford to spend, as a party spirit the planets are casting will see you spending anything you have. Don’t take out money from the bank which you know is not spare because otherwise, you will take the enjoyment out of what should be an enjoyable week. Believe it or not, it well worth putting in some “overtime” this week, at home or at work. Aquarius Jan 21-Feb 19 The need to find out how good you are in your career may see you doing something others will deem reckless. Make sure that what you are doing is really in your best interests and not just to irritate a loved one, who is watching your every move. This game-playing can do you no good, so start playing seriously right now. Pisces Feb 20-Mar 2 Plans will be laid that will make way for a better and, indeed, more secure future. Don’t be afraid to listen to the advice of a younger face, who may have more experience than you realise. Late-night invitations have trouble written all over
20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010
Aries Mar 21-April 20 There comes a time in everybody’s life when he or she has to be selfish in order to be able to give. This is your time to do what’s right for you, and to forget what everybody else wants. The decisions you make now will pave the way for a better future for you and your close ones, so don’t hold back. Your hidden dreams are beckoning.

DIESEL-ENGINED Minis have, traditionally, always been rather noisy and lacking that special response of petrol power. Fear not, Mini lovers, because salvation is at hand in the shape of the Convertible Cooper D, which unloads the old Peugeot-Citroën derv burner for a new 1.6-litre turbo-diesel, sourced from parent company BMW. It’s baffling to think why Mini didn’t just do this in the first place, but they have now and the difference is outstanding. The diesel Convertible has the more powerful 112hp Cooper D engine option only, although a lesser 90hp One D is also available in the Hatch and Clubman. The arrival of these new diesels completes an updated range that started earlier this year with upgraded petrol engines. The new BMW-sourced engine still sounds diesel,
Mini’s diesel dream
obviously, and especially if you have the roof down around town. Get it up to motorway speeds, though, and you’ll drown the slight diesel rasp) right out with wind noise. Either way, you simply won’t care the moment you put your foot down! Compared with previous
diesel Minis, this new engine is a revelation. Throttle response, aided by the variable geometry turbocharger, is much snappier - even before you resort to hitting the Sport button. The lighter Cooper D hatch can hit 62mph in 9.7 seconds against the Convertible’s 10.3secs. But with more peak
torque than the turbo-petrol Cooper S, either version has plenty of poke on the move. Without doubt, the Mini is the most fun motor to drive in the premium small-car sector. Yes, the Citroën DS3 runs it close, and there are some non-premium hot hatches that may be better overall. But if you’re looking for fun
and glamour, this Convertible has them both. Helped by its all-aluminium construction, which keeps the weight down, it feels much flightier, and even the ride quality has improved. There’s still no cure for the cramped rear legroom, but alongside the exterior update - including new bumpers and upgraded lights, plus revised grilles and side vents, depending on the model - Mini has also mildly modified the interior. Extra black-finish trimmings are neat, there are new toggle switches for the climate control, and the radio controls have been relocated to within the central speedo. More interesting is the new Mini Connected in-car infotainment system. This is inspired by BMW,s ConnectedDrive, but includes features that even big brother BMW doesn’t get yet,
focused on iPhone integration. Another result for the new diesel engine: the regular Mini hatchback is down to just 99g/km CO2 and up to a remarkable 74.3mpg. Standard Auto Start Stop and other “Minimalist” technology helps here. That’s for both One D and Cooper D versions as well. The Clubman and the Convertible can’t quite match this achievement, returning 103g/km and 105g/km, respectively. But that is still equal to 70.6mpg for the drop-top, which is a genuinely impressive result and reaffirms, Mini’s position as the leading premium eco contender. The Convertible costs £17,925 (21,909 euros), which represents good value for money and should be available from September, or October at the latest.
Civic Type-R driven off the road
HONDA have been forced to end UK sales of their Civic Type-R hot hatch because of new Euro emissions laws set to be imposed. Production of the European market 2.0-litre performance icon will end in October because the 2.0-litre engine cannot meet Euro 5 exhaust regulations. But it is not quite the end of the Civic Type-R, though, because countries such as Australia and South Africa have lower emissions stan-
dards. That means production at the UK Swindon plant will continue for those countries. Honda will help mark the end of the famous Type-R at a special Silverstone festival this Sunday (22nd), which will be attended by BTCC drivers Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden. It will give all Type-R drivers the chance to do a lap of honour around the British grand prix Formula One circuit. More than 12,000 of the current-shape Type-R have been sold in the UK since 2007, and a few more will be added to that number before sales end in December.

IT IS all change at the top of Division 2 after Friday’s Brazil-type display by Dale and his Nauta Nutters team. They took a deep breath, filled out their chestnuts and made fellow-promotion chasers Yelas Bar look like a shell of their former selves as they cashewed in with a fine seven points! And I’m not taking the pistachio! Great darts from Bill and Tim mean that the Nutters have set their stall out for the rest of the season. Long-time leaders Barracudarts boys slip down to second, although they earned five valuable points at Rood B. Gaffers remain in third place after a 6-2 win at Marilyns, Neil hitting a 180 for the visitors. Bar 180 B were 2-0 up against local rivals The

Tavern, but then the wheels came off and they crashed 62 - their second straight loss. The Naturals move up one place after a useful 5-3 success at the Hunters, and Tenerife Sun did like-wise as they beat La Cana Lancers by the same score. Knights B made it three wins on the trot as they overcame the Flames 6-2, and Woodys B enjoyed a great game at Nauta B and had Joel taking out 108 with a bull finish. Alas, it was not enough as the home side scraped a 5-3 victory. In Division 1, Tenerife Suns have now burst into the top three after a run of excellent results, and they had Tam and Sergio hitting maximums during a 6-2 win over Heroes. Exiles’ 6-2 win over Ensecan keeps them top, but the big losers were the inactive

Phoenix bar, who slipped from second to fifth. Moving up to second, Nauta A are quietly going about their business with great success. With young Tom and the not-so-young Mike in fine form, they won all five singles to run out 7-1 winners over Woodys A. Going one better, Bar 180 A totally overran Target B with an 8-0 whitewash, losing just three legs in the process. Toscales Allsorts offered up a fine plate of beef madras to their visitors the Silver Surfers. Sadly, their darts were not quite as hot during a match in

which the Surfers came back from 3-0 down to lead 4-3, but ended all-square. A very local derby between Strikers Bar and the X-men also produced the same scoreline, and Target A said “well done” to Sundowners as they endured one of those nights, although their 5-3 win does keep them sixth. Rood A, in 12th position, have been really struggling in recent weeks. But having failed to win for seven straight matches, they finally put things right a little as they beat bottom side Ourplace Flukers 6-2. Geoff Huxtable
Pairs are shooting for Final showdown MORE THAN 200 people visit Las Vistas beach twice a week to take part in the early morning sport sessions run by the Arona Council for those individuals ‘of a certain age.’ Arranged by the sports department of the council and led by Francisco Toledo Hernandez the sessions part

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRI Understanding the Law Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com
What can I do if I receive a tax fine? I HAVE been asked the above question by a number of clients and it really does need sorting out. Nowadays, there are many fines going around for different reasons, and we need to know what our rights are. I include a small general guide which does not replace a legal advice. Remember that every case is different, and its circumstances make the case unique. I always recommend that you ask for professional advice. If the Inland Revenue Office (Hacienda) has fined you for any irregularity (according to Hacienda’s view) the first thing to do is to discover reason of the purported penalty and its circumstances. After analysing this there are two options: 1) Accept the penalty and pay 2) Object to the penalty because you do not agree with this fine If you consider that you are liable and your behaviour was not correct, the best solution is to accept the fine and pay. There would be a benefit of 25% rebate on the fine. There is a possibility of payments in instalments if the Inland Revenue Office accepts it. On the other hand, you can query the fine. If you consider that the Inland Revenue Office is not right, or that the penalty is unfair, you can present an “appeal”. There are normally two kinds of appeals, and you can choose one of them: A) “Recurso de Reposición” (revision of decision by the same authority), and B) “Reclamación Economico Administrativa” (revision of decision by a higher authority). A) RECURSO: The “Recurso de Reposición” is presented before the same body that fined you in order to reconsider the decision. Normally, this “recurso” does not have a
Page 48
happy outcome because the same person who fined you would not want to change his mind easily. However, there are many cases in which the body reconsidered and accepted the “recurso”. It can be presented within one month from notification of penalty. B) RECLAMACIÓN: The “Reclamación Económico Administrativa” is presented before “Tribunal Economico Administrativo” who is a higher authority. This “reclamación” can be presented alter the decision taken in “recurso de reposición”. In any case, you can go direct to “reclamación” without previous “reposición”. You are not allowed to present both appeals at the same time. It can be presented within one month from notification of penalty. In either case, the penalty (“SANCIÓN”) is not paid or guaranteed until the appeals
(“recurso” or “reclamacion”) are finalised. There would be no delay interests. Sometimes, these kind of appeals are use to delay the payment of sanctions. Note that this article refers to penalties (“SANCIONES”) and not to the tax debt (“DEUDA TRIBUTARIA”). The “deuda tributaria” can be appealed (like penalties). In the meantime, however, the sum must be paid or guaranteed. If you do not pay or guarantee the sum, the Authority can attach (“embargo”) your assets. In other words, to appeal the deuda tributaria, you have to pay or guarantee and appeal. If you later succeed in your recurso or reclamación, the Authority will refund the money, or the guarantee is cancelled. If you do not succeed with “Reclamación Economico Administrativa” the next step is to present a “Recurso Contencioso-Administrativo”
before the Administrative Court. The “Tribunal Económico-Administrativo” is a government body of the Ministry of Economy. The Administrative Court belongs to Judicial Power and it is independent. Mariano Zunino Siri is a lawyer registered in Tenerife Bar Association since 1991. Office in Los Cristianos at Edificio Valdes Center Torre “A”, oficina 1, piso 2º. Phone: 922 79 44 12. Letters to Mariano Where I can get a copy of the Canarian Swimming Pool Regulations in English? I am having a problem with the community on my complex, I have a ground-floor apartment, level with the swimming pool deck, and my balcony rail is 1.4 metres high. The community want to erect a 1.5m glass wall 500mm away from my balcony rail, which would completely enclose my apartment.
You can find information about swimming pool regulations in the Canary Government web: http://www2.gobiernodecanarias.org (although I do not believe there is an English version of it). In any case, I understand that your case, more than being connected to the swimming pool issue, concerns the works to be carried out by the Community. In other words, you have to determine whether the works to be done are necessary (or compulsory) to the Community. And even if they are necessary, the works should not affect the private property (or should at least minimise the effect). I include a partial translation of some articles of Horizontal Division Law (articles 10 and 11) that could be helpful: The Community will be enforced to carry out necessary works for the property
and its services proper maintenance and conservation, so that it should fulfil all due structural, habitability and safety condition. Proprietors who are unjustifiably opposed or delayed in the execution of the orders, which have been enacted by competent authority, will be individually responsible for the sanctions, which could be imposed by administrative action. In case of disagreement on the nature of the works to be carried out, the Proprietors Board will decide what is reasonable and appropriate. Interested parties will also be able to request an arbitrary or technical judgement in the terms settled down by Law. None of the proprietors will be able to demand new facilities, services or improvements that are not required for the proper community maintenance, habitability and safety, according to its nature and features.
