The King of Shame! Juan Carlos caught out elephant-hunting as Spain struggles to shoot down recession KING Juan Carlos has heaped more shame on Spain’s royal family after hunting elephants in Africa while his country struggles to cope with the economic crisis. Yet his Botswana expedition would have passed by unnoticed had the 74-yearold monarch not fractured his hip in three places after tripping on a step. The King, who is honorary president of the World Wildlife Fund’s Spanish branch, was rushed back to Madrid for urgent hipreplacement surgery, which was carried out on Saturday. He was hunting in the Kalahari Desert, but tripped on stairs in the chalet where he was staying, said a spokesman at San Jose Hospital, where he had the operation. The accident came just days after the King’s 13-year-old grandson, Felipe Juan Froilan, shot himself in the foot with a shotgun after target practice with his father at the family estate, north of Madrid. And it follows a corruption scandal surrounding the King’s son-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarín, who is accused of diverting some six million euros in public funds for his own benefit through his “non-profit” institute. The King’s latest escapade brought back memories of a 2006 hunting trip, which saw Juan Carlos pictured with a dead elephant and two buffalo. And in the same year,
Palace officials were forced to deny reports that during a Russian hunting trip, the King had killed a tame, three-year-old bear, which had been rendered drunk with vodka. Guns have played an unenviable role in the King’s life, stretching back to 1956 when, at the age of 18, he shot dead his 14-year-old brother, Alfonso, in a tragic accident. The Botswana safari and subsequent outcry came several weeks after the King’s public expression of concern over Spain’s everfading economy, which has close to 23% unemployment and a record 4.75 million unemployed.
Juan Carlos called on all Spaniards to tighten their belts to weather the economic crisis, and he told a group of students in Barcelona last month: “One of the consequences of the crisis
is that youth unemployment, gives me sleepless nights.” Unsurprisingly, the Spanish press have had a field day over this latest escapade, said to have cost around 20,000 euros for his one kill,
Juan Carlos so sorry RATHER than have a public apology issued by the Royal Household for his behaviour, as suggested, King Juan Carlos decided he should say sorry himself.
As he left his San Jose Hospital room on Wednesday after being discharged, the King stopped in front of a TV camera and said: “I’m very sorry. I made a mistake and it will not happen again.” The monarch thanked the doctors for taking care of him and added: “I am feeling very well and I am keen to get back to work.”
with travel expenses on top, The El Mundo newspaper slating the King, saying: “It was an irresponsible outing, taken at the worst possible moment.” The Conservative paper also ran a cartoon with two scenes: the King’s crown on the ground and the word “Bang!” above it, and then the animal thudding to the ground and smashing the crown to bits. El Pais columnist Antoni Gutierrez-Rubi described the trip as “totally inadequate, improper and unjustified. But the key question is,‘What if he had not fallen’? “We would not have known because the royal family does not report the King’s private
activities.” And though Africa’s authorities allow sanctioned elephant-hunting, in order to cull herd numbers, the King received mixed reactions from Government ministers. Cayo Lara Moya, federal coordinator of the United Left political coalition, said: “Juan Carlos is showing a lack of ethics and respect for many people in this country, who are suffering a lot.” Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who visited the injured monarch, said he was recovering well, and added: “I saw him being very upbeat. He will recover very soon and resume his usual duties.” Patxi López, President of the Basque regional Government, said:“The King, like everybody else, has the right to have a private life. “But it’s true that at this specific moment (referring to the economic crisis), there are some things the Spanish people don’t understand - and this is one of those things.” Angelica Diaz, a 70-year-old grandmother out pushing a baby-stroller in Madrid this week, probably spoke for the majority of his subjects when she said: “What the king did is awful. “Because of the lack of solidarity with people here who are going hungry, what he did is wrong. He has to show more humanity.” The King has now had eight operations since the 1980s, three of them following accidents while engaged in “sporting” activities. But the surgeons will not be able to heal this blunder. His grandson has shot himself in the foot - and so has King Juan Carlos!

Quad bike accident A 42 year old British female holidaymaker, P.S.S, suffered serious injuries last
Saturday following a quad bike accident in the Altavista area of Arona.
She was taking part in Quad Adventure’s guided excursion with several other people on quads, on a four hour Teide excursion. Whilst going around a bend in Calle Real, she left the road and fell into an area
of cactus. An ambulance took her to the emergency department of the Playa de las Americas Hospital. It is thought that her injuries are quite severe and she is said to have suffered a broken back.
The quad park in La Camella, Arona, ‘Quad Park S.L’ would like to point out that it was not one of their excursions, their quad bike activity is ‘off road’ on 50 acres of their own land, with four quads per guide
and the activity takes place under controlled conditions with full safety equipment provided. Confusion has arisen due to the similarities in name and the location of where the accident took place.
TITSA to increase prices AMONG the measures to be applied to achieve the five -million-euro cost savings in addition to reducing employment, Vice President of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, has announced an increase in the cost of bus tickets.
The public company, Intercity Transport Tenerife ( Titsa) will increase tariffs and make changes to social benefits, which affect mainly to the elderly and people with physical disabilities. No indication as to price increases has yet been given. As for the changes that those with special needs will experience it is thought that the fares for those users will have to be ‘aligned.’
Alonso said that they want TITSA to remain as it is, and not to be privatised, it therefore has to increase income, tickets for many sectors of the population are currently subsdised. In addition they are looking at labour costs, TITSA has 1,600 workers. The Minister justified the measures by arguing the need to “limit the cost of service” given that there have been 10 mil-
lion fewer users of public transport by bus over the past five years. Therefore, he argued that “sacrifices were necessary in the current circumstances and we would not need to lay off any workers,” he added. “It’s about keeping the public service with public funding of it” and that in the case of the council, that is between a 30 and 35 million contribution.
Loro Parque unveils new parrot show
LORO Parque, one of the finest zoos and environmental centres in the world, continues to expand its range of leisure activities and has exclusively premiered its new parrot show, with a completely renovated one. The grand opening took
20 April - 26 April 2012
place 40 years after the original pioneering presentation. Marcos Brito Mayor of Puerto de la Cruz, accompanied the president of Loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling and the coaching staff and carers for this great event. In addition, more than 400 people attended the show and en-
joyed the majestic and colourful birds triumphing in flight. Nearly forty years after it opened its doors for the first time, Loro Parque goes back to its origins, parrots, and shows. The Loro Show will become, no doubt, a reminder
about the need to preserve forests, while young and old discover the intelligence and beauty of colourful parrots of various species who serve as ambassadors of nature. Multimedia effects, dreamy architecture and unparalleled artistic presentation
are essential components in this new show that inspires, using more than 30 parrots from the most amazing parts of the world, with their wonderful skills in flight. Each year more than 13 million hectares of forest are destroyed, the main habitat of parrots in the tropical section
of the planet and this, added to the overcrowding has led to the extinction of numerous species, among which are several parrots plus other animals. Loro Parque Foundation has invested more than 12 million dollars in the conservation of parrots across the 5 continents.

A word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
Pitbull concert switch to Adeje Bigger venue needed to showcase American rapper’s June concert SUCH is the demand for tickets to see American superstar Pitbull here in June that organisers have switched his concert to a larger venue.
This week This week’s column is a mis-mash of bits. Firstly the question everyone was asking me was ‘Whose yacht is that in the Los Cristianos harbour?’
The gleaming yacht, the size approximately of six London buses, was called ‘Vive La Vie’ and according to Tenerife Magazine “was built to order for a family by Lurssen at their Bremen (Germany) shipyard in 2008 and is registered to the Cayman Islands - hence the flag which looks a little like a British ensign.” As to who was actually on the yacht, I leave that to your imagination, but it wasn’t me, I don’t like water! Secondly, staying on the topic of the seas, this week the port of Santa Cruz will have received over 30,000 visitors. Ten cruise ships with 22,250 passengers and 8,450 crew will arrive at the capital’s port by the end of the weekend. Norwegian Jade docked with 2,200 cruisers and 1,000 crew. Tuesday saw the arrival of the Independence the Seas, coming from Las Palmas with 5,000 visitors on board. The Splendour of the Seas followed on Wednesday 18th, arriving from the Caribbean with 1,800 cruisers and 850 crew. It then left for the port of Funchal in Madeira. Today (Friday)
three ships dock – Costa Mediterránea, Braemar and Thomson Destiny. Two great ships arrive tomorrow, Saturday, the Empress and Ventura with 1,400 and 3,200 cruisers respectively plus crew of 700 and 1,100. Arcadia and the Navigator of the seas conclude the week with over 5,000 passengers between them of mainly British and North American origin. And finally, if you thought there were fewer people here on the island you would be correct. According to data published by the National Statistics Institute for population changes from 1st January 2011 to the same date in 2012 the Canaries as a whole lost 11,720 inhabitants, the third-biggest drop nationally, behind Galicia (16,509) and Castilla León (15,050). On 1st January this year, the total population was 2,115,049 people in the Canaries; last year there 2,126,769 residents. Of the total, 309,674 people are of foreign nationality, live here in the Canary Islands. Inerestingly, the total number of residents in Spain on 1 January this year was 47,212,990 inhabitants, 22,497 more people than a year earlier. Bear in mind, these figures are correct only if everyone is registered on the pardon! Until next week…
The versatile rapper will now appear at the 20,000-capacity Golf Costa Adeje on 23rd June, instead of the football pitch annex next to Arona Municipality’s Olympic Stadium. It is where Elton John and Rod Stewart have both pulled in huge crowds in recent years, and Pitbull’s appearance, following a show on Gran Canaria the previous night, guarantees a similar following. Both gigs form part of his Planet Pit 2012 World Tour and already, thousands of tickets have been snapped up. And Pitbull’s immense worldwide popularity ensured that his gigs in Madrid and Barcelona were sold out in hours.
THE Mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, last Saturday received the 18 candidates, at Siam Park, who will be taking part in the first edition of the Miss Sur contest.
Want Me, or Calle Ocho as it was called in Spain, sold over three million copies. It was his first UK top 10 hit and went to No2 in America. His Latino hip hop style proved popular, and follow-up singles Hotel Room Service, Shut It Down and Hey Baby also made the top end of the charts. This was the springboard to an amazing 2011 as his followup album Planet Pit took him to a different level. Lead single Give Me Everything shot straight to No1 in the UK and America, along with 30 other countries. International Love, a duet with Chris Brown, was also a multi-million seller, along with Rain Over Me, which featured Latino mega star and Jenifer Lopez’s exhubby Marc Anthony. Pitbull has also appeared or produced top 10 hits for Alexandra Burke (Bad Boys), Enrique Iglesias (I Like It), Usher
(DJ Got Us Fallin In Love) and J-Lo’s multi-million seller On The Floor. Despite his ferocioussounding name, 31-yearold Pitbull (born Armando Christian Pérez to Cuban parents in Miami), has a superb voice, and not just for rapping. He is quite capable of singing tender ballads, as he demonstrates, and he is a genuine all-rounder, both on and off the stage. As well as singing, he is a songwriter and record producer in his own right. Another major plus for the American is that he speaks and sings Spanish fluently, which obviously appeals to the natives of Spain and the islands. And he even hosts his own Spanishspeaking p ro g ra m m e on a cable channel.

Adeje Town Hall, coorganisers with promoters Airbag Events and My Events, are confident of attracting 15.000 spectators, and Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga said: “We are committed to quality entertainment to complement the cultural and tourist sectors of our town.” Promoter Bernard Habis said that the early ticket sales indicated that they would have find a new venue. “This is the most important concert on the island in 2012,” he said. “And we were encouraged to switch the concert to a larger area to make it more comfortable for the public to enjoy this musical sensation.” Pitbull burst on to the international music scene in 2008 when he collaborated with Lil Jon on the hit records The Anthem and Krazy.

Spain’s bonds were snapped up THE press both here and in the UK have rumoured that Spain may need a bail out, so that is why there was a huge sigh of relief last week at Spain’s bond auction.
The 10-year bonds were sold at a yield of 5.743%, slightly up from 5.403% when the bonds were last sold in February. But the rate for two-year bonds dropped to 3.463% from 3.495% in October. Spain sold all the 2.54bn euros ($3.33bn; £2.08bn) of bonds it was offering, to raise funds and on a positive
note the demand was higher than the previous February sale, almost double in fact. A financial analyst commented, “In general they were a very reasonable set of results which will help allay the fears that the market for Spanish bonds no longer exists.” There had been worries about this week’s bond auctions after the interest
rates on existing 10-year bonds rose above 6% on Monday. Borrowing costs above 6% are considered by many analysts to be unaffordable in the long run. Analysts said that Spain had passed the hurdle of this auction, but that the challenges for the economy remain.

‘Fraud abroad’ benefit cheats given warning: We’re out to get you! IAIN Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, has issued a warning to people who commit benefit fraud abroad. The UK Government Minister, on a recent visit to the DWP’s Pension, Benefits & Healthcare team in Madrid, urged British people living abroad not to break the strict rules on what benefits they can and cannot claim. He also told law-abiding Brits to use the dedicated Spanish fraud hotline to report benefit thieves. People who pretend to live in the UK to claim benefits, but are actually living overseas, cost taxpayers an estimated £43 million last year. And more allegations of people living in Spain while still receiving UK benefits are received than for any other foreign country. That makes Spain the leading country for abroad fraud. Smith said: “We are determined to clamp down on benefit fraud abroad. The £43 million claimed fraudulently last year should be going to the people who need it most, and not lining the pockets of criminals sunning themselves overseas. “The vast majority of British people overseas are lawabiding, but fraudulently
claiming benefits while living abroad is a crime - and we are committed to putting a stop to it.” Since its launch in 2008, more than 750 calls to the Spanish hotline have resulted in criminal investigations by fraud investigators in the UK. Over 100 people have been sanctioned or prosecuted, 134 cases are currently being investigated and £3.1 million in benefit over-payments have been identified and will be reclaimed. The small Pension, Benefit & Healthcare team based in Spain provide support to the estimated one million Britons living there. They work with the Spanish Authorities on behalf of the DWP and Department of Health to prevent and detect benefit fraud, ensure correct access to the Spanish health-care system, and combat misuse of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Abroad fraud involves a range of scams, such as people on means-tested benefits going abroad but failing to declare their absence, undeclared property abroad, and individuals working while claiming sickness benefits. In Spain, claims for Income Support or Pension Credit are the most frequently investigated for fraud. If you suspect someone
of benefit fraud in Spain, you can call Benefit Fraud Hotline in Spain on: 900 554 440, or you can report a thief online via: www.dwp.gov.uk/ benefit-thieves. Different benefits have different rules with regards to UK citizens claiming them abroad: *Disability Living Allowance (mobility), Pension Credit, Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance (income based), Employment and Support Allowance (income based) are all “non-exportable”, and cannot be claimed abroad. *Jobseekers Allowance (Contribution based) can be paid in the EU and Switzerland for three months, providing the claimant registers as a jobseeker. *Employment and Support Allowance (contribution based) can be paid in EEA and Switzerland, provided the claimant has paid enough in NI contributions to qualify *Winter Fuel Payment can be paid in the EU and Switzerland provided a claimant was entitled to it before he/she left the UK. It cannot be claimed for the first time from abroad *Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance (care), Carers Allowance, State Pension and Child Benefit can be paid abroad, provided the claimant has met the UK entitlement conditions.
Telefónica to lose its Los Abrigos antenna? THE municipality of Granadilla de Abona is urging the company Telefonica Moviles SA Spain to remove the antenna that is located in Avenida Aguadulce, in the heart of Los Abrigos. A complaint has been made as it’s alleged there is no authority for the antenna. Last January a fine was imposed of 78,132 euros as an offence against planning. Granadilla Council has reported that such activity does not fall within the permitted use of this area. Meanwhile, Telefónica Móviles has appealed against
20 April - 26 April 2012
the removal order to the court of administrative litigation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the resolution is pending. Mayor, Jaime González Cejas, wants to convey a reassuring message to the residents of this fishing village, in that it has reacted “correctly” in its actions towards the company for not having the necessary
permits in addition to asking for the withdrawal of the antenna which was illegally installed. The City Council has requested a specialist firm to monitor the antenna and ensure the phone company does not operate the antenna within the duration of court proceedings.

Father of King’s grandson right at odds with story of the boy's shotgun incident THE former husband of Princess Elena of Spain has given conflicting accounts of how their son shot himself in the foot last week. Jaime de Marichalar gave the Guardia Civil a statement on Saturday about the accident concerning Felipe Juan Froilán, who was staying with his father at the family home in Garrejo, in the province of Soria. But although Marichalar told officers at first that the accident happened as his son practised shooting, he said in his official statement that the gun went off accidentally as they cleaned the weapons in readiness for storing them away.
The weapon, a 36-calibre shotgun, registered to Marichalar, was confiscated by police as evidence, as is usual in such events. Police are awaiting the court’s decision regarding a possible prosecution, but it is felt that the case will probably be treated as an unfortunate accident. Yet Marichalar could still face administrative charges, and a fine for his “grave error” in contravening the weapons’ regulations. The minimum age for a licence is 14, but Felipe is only 13, so his father is legally responsible for him using a gun without one. The youngster, grandson of King Juan Carlos, was released from the hospital in Madrid after seven days and is recuperating at home.

Classrooms are growing bigger NUMBERS of children in Spanish classrooms will increase by 20%, if Education Minister José Ignacio Wert gets his way today (Friday) in Congress. The Minister presented a draft bill of his proposal to the autonomous communities on Tuesday, and also his plan to fix teaching hours at 25 for infant and primary teachers, and 20 for secondary-school teachers. His draft education bill would also mean that teachers’ sick leave totalling fewer than 10 working days would have to be covered by the schools themselves. Intermediate and higherlevel vocational training, with more than 2,000 hours, will not be introduced until the 2014-2015 academic year. And schools’ obligation to offer at least two of the three types of “bachiller” (sixth-form studies’ course) would be temporarily suspended. Wert stressed that the changes did not constitute
an education reform plan, but were designed to improve efficiency and create the right conditions for future reform. At the moment, Spanish law decrees that a maximum of 25 pupils are allowed in any primary school classroom, and 30 in secondary schools. The draft amendments say these numbers will increase to a maximum of 30 pupils per class in primary and 36 in secondary. There have been no rules from central government concerning the number of classroom hours teachers are obliged to do until now, with each region setting its own agenda. But regional educational ministries were in favour of Tuesday’s proposals by a “healthy majority”, the majority having already raised the minimum number of teaching hours to those suggested. A week ago, the Spanish Government announced that there would be cuts amounting to three billion euros from the education budget, and 7bn from healthcare.

The area of El Fraile has a new neighbourhood association, ASVEFRA, whose board, headed by Jose Luis Darias, was officially announced this week, attended by the Councillor for Citizen Participation of Arona, Eva Luz Cabrera, who conveyed her best wishes to this new group. Cabrera said that “whenever a neighbourhood group is born it is a satisfaction for everyone,
because that means that many people, voluntarily, want to work for the interests of their neighbourhood.” In addition, the mayor said: “The creation of this new partnership allows us to work towards the model of true democracy, which should focus on the direct participation of citizens in the public sphere.” Meanwhile, the president of the new neighbourhood association, José Luis Dar-
ias revealed his “illusion when addressing this initiative,” and encouraged everyone to form part of this group, because “the more we are, the stronger we stand.” Darias referred to the numerous infrastructures that El Fraile has, and to the 77 nationalities that are living side by side in the neighbourhood, “becoming an example of coexistence and respect for multiculturalism.”
Spain are facing an Argentine trade war THE possibility of a trade war between Spain and Argentina looms large following the forced nationalisation of Repsol subsidiary YPF. The controlling stake in Argentine oil company, YPF, owned by Spain’s Repsol, was seized by the Argentine government on Monday. José Manuel Soria, Spain’s Industry Minister, said: “Unspecified action
Page 10
on diplomacy, trade, industry and energy is being considered by the government.” Ratings agency Moody’s also cut YP’s debt rating from Ba3 to B3, saying further downgrades were possible, and trading in YPF shares were suspended for a second day in New York on Tuesday. Argentina has taken 51% of YPF, wiping out Repsol’s 57.4% majority stake, and the seized shares will be divided up between central government and provincial
governors. The company has also lost a number of leases, including some of the biggest oil fields in the country. Repsol Executive Chairman Antonio Brufau said Argentina’s move “will not go unpunished” and that the company would seek $10.5bn in compensation. An accusation by Argentina authorities that YPF has not investing enough to increase output from its oil fields, and so lessen the need for imports, was rejected.

killed Iberia strike pilots Paraglider in Taucho horror having to pay price IBERIA’S striking pilots, the only group who have failed to come to an agreement with the Spanish airline, have had their wages slashed by 20%. And the company, who also expect them to work longer hours, say the decision is part of a series of measures to reduce costs and increase productivity by 25%. Their cockpit staff have held a series of strikes concerning a new collective bargaining deal, despite talks that have stretched over 2½ years. This particular cost-cutting exercise should save around 62 million euros. Iberia say the pilots’ union Sepla’s one-day strikes, held since December, have cost them three million euros a day. The pilots are protesting at what they consider to be poor conditions for workers at Iberia Express, the airline’s
20 April - 26 April 2012
new low-cost carrier. The airline justified the measure in a message, which will affect pilots only. They have highlighted the necessity to be “more competitive” and to confront “with greater guarantees of success the difficult situation we face, caused by low demand, high fuel prices and strong competition”.
Financial Director José María Fariza, said: “These measures, with which the airline is seeking to become profitable, are in line with the reality of other airlines in our area of business.” But despite the anticipated longer hours for pilots, the airline will fix the maximum limit of flight hours to 900 per year.
The collective agreement in place now allows for 820 or 850 hours, depending on the fleet, although Iberia say the average actually worked amounts to around 650 annually. The absence of Sepla at Tuesday’s meeting, said Iberia, “demonstrated the lack of will of the union to negotiate”.
A MAN aged 40 has died after a paragliding accident in the Taucho area within the municipality of Adeje.

Fire fighters had to break through a fence to reach the victim, they began CPR, which was then advanced by medical staff under a doctor’s co-ordination from the 112 operations centre. Despite all efforts of the emergency services, in difficult conditions, the man was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries.

Is May day right? FOLLOWING the arrest of Abu Qatada on Tuesday the Home Secretary, Mrs May, has been called into question over deadlines. Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, tabled an emergency question forcing Mrs May to make a statement. Mrs May told MPs the appeal had been lodged by Qatada’s lawyers after the deadline had passed at midnight on Monday. She categorically dismissed the idea that the Home Office had miscalculated the date. “The Government is clear that Abu Qatada has no right to refer the case to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), since the three-month deadline to do so lapsed at midnight on Monday,” she said. Ultimately we will have to wait to hear from the European Court, whose decision is expected soon. Following Abu Qatada’s arrest on Tuesday his
20 April - 26 April 2012
lawyers have lodged an appeal with Europe’s human rights judges, effectively
putting moves to return him to stand trial in his native Jordan on hold.
If Mrs May has got the deadline wrong it would be a massive embarrassment for her and could again set back the authorities’ long-running battle to put Qatada on a plane out of the country. Mrs May, who earlier described the appeal by Qatada’s lawyers as a “delaying” tactic, acknowledged that the court could find that the deadline was midnight on Tuesday - as Qatada’s lawyers argued - an hour after the appeal was lodged. “It is a judgment that is going to be made by the panel of the Grand Chamber. They are the only final arbiters of what the deadline was,” she said. He Qatada is currently detained after a judge ruled his imminent deportation meant the risk he could try to flee while on bail had increased. His lawyers have said they will challenge all moves to deport him and Mrs May has warned MPs that it may still be “many months” before Qatada can be lawfully expelled from the UK.

World Health leaders alarmed at increasing numbers of dementia THE heavy social and financial burdens associated with dementia cases are set to soar in the coming decades. That’s because life expectancy and medical care are improving greatly in poorer countries. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says 35.6 million people were living with dementia in 2010, and that the figure is set to double to 65.7 million by 2030. And in 2050, predicts WHO, the United Nations health agency based in Geneva, dementia cases will triple to 115.4 million. “The numbers are already large and are increasing rather rapidly,” said Dr Shekhar Saxena, head of WHO’s mental health division. Most dementia patients are cared for by relatives, who shoulder much of the estimated annual cost of £380 billion. And the financial burden is expected to rise even faster than the number of cases, In its first substantial report on the issue, WHO’s Director-
General, Margaret Chan, wrote: “The catastrophic cost drives millions of households below the poverty line.” Dementia, a brain illness that affects memory, behaviour and the ability to perform even common tasks, affects mostly older people. About 70% of cases are believed to be caused by Alzheimer’s. In the last few decades, dementia has become a major public health issue in rich countries. But with populations in poor and middle-income countries projected to grow and age rapidly over the coming decades, WHO has appealed for greater public awareness and better support programmes everywhere. So far, only eight countries - including Britain, France and Japan - have national programmes to address dementia, according to WHO. Several others, such as the United States, have plans at the state level. While the report does not make specific recommendations to policymakers, it urges them to address the challenges of dementia as soon as possible.
University Don is not charged with murder of his professor friend AN Oxford University don, arrested on suspicion of murdering a professor friend, will not be prosecuted. Devinderjit Sivia, 49, from Southmoor, Oxfordshire, became a suspect in January after police discovered the body of 50-year-old Professor Steven Rawlings there. The two academics had been friends for 30 years and had published a book together. Dr Sivia was scheduled to answer bail on Wednesday following a police probe into the death. But the Crown Prosecution Service decided that there
Page 14
was “insufficient evidence to put before a court”. Prof Rawlings’ widow, Linda said after his death: “I do not believe Steve’s death is murder, and I do not believe that Devinder should be tarnished in this way.” Tributes were paid to the St Peter’s College academic in the wake of his death, and Prof Andrew Hamilton, Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, said the entire university community had been “profoundly saddened and shocked by his tragic and untimely death”. Dr Sivia, of St John’s College, has taught “maths for natural science” to chemistry and physics undergraduates for years.
India joins the ‘Nuclear Club’
IN A move which will hardly sooth International tensions, India has successfully fired a long-range missile. The intercontinental ballistic missile, which is able to carry a nuclear warhead, was fired in the early hours of yesterday (Thursday). Indian officials say the project was a complete success: “The test was flawless” said a delighted spokesperson. The Agni-V missile was launched from a site off India’s east coast and took less than half-an-hour to hit its target, believed to be near Indonesia in the Indian Ocean. This type of missile has a range of more than 3,000 miles, which means in theory that a rocket attack could be launched on Beijing, Tehran and even Moscow if the missile site was Delhi. India joins an elite nuclear club and now sits at the international power head table. Britain, America, China, Russia and France all have the capability, while it has long been thought that Israel secretly has the knowhow and hardware. While India has relatively few enemies, this week’s development will cause a few sleepless nights in Pakistan, and China will certainly be interested in
the outcome. It’s a sharp deterrent to the No1 Asian superpower. A spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, Liu Weimin, said his country was not threatened or concerned: “China and India are large developing nations,” he stressed. “We are not competitors but partners. We believe that both sides should cherish the hard-won good state of affairs at present, and work hard to uphold friendly strategic co-operation to promote joint development and make positive contributions towards maintaining peace and stability in the region.” The Indian test, and now nuclear capability, comes as no surprise, bearing in mind India’s long-held ambition. The country is prosperous, the economy booming and for many, India’s government is a friendly one. India tested her first nuclear bomb in 1974 in a move that angered the United States so much that they implemented sanctions for nearly 25 years. But times and regimes change. America has softened so much that in 2008 they green-lighted India’s nuclear programme. The long-held mantra with nuclear weapons is: “It’s not the gun, but who fires the bullet.” Of course, it is accepted that the American President or British Prime Minister is not a
deranged crackpot intent on world destruction; the same is not true of countries such as North Korea. Their failed rocket launch last week set off alarm bells all over the world, and especially in south and eastern Asia. North Korea insisted its rocket launch was part of its civilian space programme and they were testing with the long-term aim of trying to put an observation satellite into the Earth’s orbit. Nobody believes them. America and other countries agree it was a technology test. The real reason was to see how they would get on with the firing of a long-range missile fitted with a nuclear
warhead. In much the same way as India. Thankfully, the launch failed and the rocket broke apart just after take-off. This will set the North Koreans back, but imagine if the rocket went astray and landed in another country? Swift worldwide condemnation saw America cancel its controversial plan to send food aid, and the United Nation’s Security Council imposed harsh new sanctions. While India will now be satisfied that they are where they want to be with their defences, North Korea returns to the drawing board. Frighteningly, in more ways than one!
Windy City wagons walloped FOR foodies, street food from street vendors is one of the latest trends whether it is burger or gastro. But in one American city the trend is not going down well with restaurants. The foodie vibe is often transferred by social media sites, advising clients of where the food wagon is going to be, it’s proved so popular to the detriment of restaurants that Chicago police are monitoring food trucks on social media. In Chicago food trucks are not allowed to set up close to restaurants by law, so police are asking the trucks
to pack up and are issuing citations if they don’t. Due to the challenging nature of finding a spot the trucks often set up in different street locations daily, and then post their location on Twitter and Facebook so customers can find them. Police have picked up on this social media trend, and are busting food trucks that park within 200 feet of restaurants. The food wagons would now like the city to acknowledge the popularity of food trucks and to consider changing the law.

A Men At Work Pay Tag star found dead ICONIC Australian flautist Greg Ham has died at his home in Melbourne.
The 58 year old was found in his home by a friend who had been worried about his welfare. It’s understood that Ham had been in poor health. The 58-year-old will always be remembered for playing the famous flute riff from the 1983 worldwide smash, Down Under. “Because of the early stages of our investigation, we’re not prepared to go into the exact details of what has occurred,’ Detective Senior Sergeant Shane O’Connell told reporters. “There are a number of issues we are trying to resolve as to how the male died” Ham joined Men At Work in 1979 replacing Greg Sneddon and he played flute, harmonica, saxophone and keyboards. The band achieved international fame in 1981 with the song ‘Who Can
20 April - 26 April 2012
It Be Now’ which sowed the seeds for a major international record deal with Columbia records. This major label backing gave them the ammunition for ‘Down Under’ which would break all Australian music records. In 1983 Men At Work became the first Australian band to simultaneously have the number one single and album in America and ‘Down Under’ would make number one in over thirty countries including the UK. The song
was also used in the closing ceremony for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. But the classic song and the famous riff which Ham played has been steeped in controversy in recent years. The band has been locked in a major copyright dispute over the ‘Down Under’ flute riff and in 2010 Australia’s Federal Court ruled the band partly copied the 1930’s children’s song ‘Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree.’ Men At Works record
company lost an appeal against the ruling as did the songwriters Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. They were ordered to pay 5% of the song’s royalties since 2002 and all the songs future royalties to the ‘Kookaburra’ song’s current copyright owners. At the time Ham was said to have been devastated and was quoted as saying: “It will be the way the song is remembered and I hate that. I’m terribly disappointed that that’s the way I’m going to be remembered - for copying something.” Men At Work frontman Colin Hay issued a statement and spoke of his grief: “We played in a band and conquered the world together. I love him very much. He’s a beautiful man. The saxophone solo on ‘Who Can It Be Now’ was the rehearsal take. We kept it, that was the one.” Twitter was awash with tributes one person tweeted: “RIP Greg Ham. True Aussie. His music inspired a country,”
YOU’VE seen the advert on television with Barclay’s showing that you can ‘ping’ money to your nearest and dearest. Now our smartphones are turning into ‘mobile wallets.’ Both Barclaycard and Ebay have now announced new ways of making payments.
The latest invention from Barclaycard Visa is to introduce a mini stick-on credit card that can be attached to the back of your mobile phone then held against a reader, like a barcode, allowing for ‘contactless payments’ ‘PayTag’ as it is called smaller than a regular payment card. You can currently use ‘Pay tag’ to make payments of £15 and under, rising to £20 in June, by being held over a payment terminal, without the need to sign or enter a PIN.
Barclaycard said it plans to roll out the scheme later this year, saying that it will reach “millions” of customers. Other major retailers which offer, or are introducing, contactless payments include Waitrose, McDonald’s, Boots, WH Smith and Tesco. Barclaycard dismissed concerns about the security of contactless bank cards and that details could be stolen, insisting it is “safe and secure”. On the other hand eBay has said it will, “define the future of money” by using its PayPal service to replace credit cards and cash by making smartphones into “mobile wallets”. The next step in payments was announced as chief executive, John Donahoe, revealed a 32% growth in PayPal revenue for the first quarter of 2012. Mr Donahoe commented: “PayPal mobile payment volumes continue to be on fire, we see enormous opportunity for PayPal online, on mobile devices and increasingly, in the offline environment as well.”

Hundreds escape from plane blaze as Gatwick is forced to close down A VIRGIN jet carrying more than 300 people was forced to return to Gatwick on Monday after a terrifying mid-air blaze on board. It forced the busy West Sussex airport to shut down for seven hours, delaying scores of flights and causing chaos for thousands of passengers. The 299 passengers and 13-strong crew were evacuated via the eight escape slides, and 15 were taken to hospital with injuries. Cabin crew used fire extinguishers to tackle the blaze on the packed jet as the plane filled with smoke, and firefighters with powerful jets were able to douse the flames as the Airbus A330 stood on the runway. Some passengers accused the cabin crew of panicking
as the aircraft landed and the emergency chutes were deployed. The plane was 20 minutes into its trip to Orlando - one of the 600 flights scheduled throughout the day. Gatwick later reopened using a standby runway, but with a reduced service. A Virgin Atlantic spokesman said: “Due to a technical problem on board, the captain decided as a precautionary measure to evacuate the aircraft. We looked after our passengers at Gatwick and assisted with their immediate requirements.” One passenger, Liam Moore, said: “It all happened so quickly. Everything seemed fine, until the pilot came on the tannoy just a few minutes into the flight and said we’d have to do an emergency landing. Everyone was really shaken up.” He added: Police cars were flying up the runway, and there were four fire engines,
paramedics and even a helicopter overhead.” Another passenger, Tom Aldridge, accused an air stewardess of panicking when the plane touched down, saying: “She was screaming like a banshee - ‘Get off, get off’, and was literally pushing people down the chute.” Mark Bell, from Bracknell, told the BBC: “I knew something was wrong when we took off. The plane was really wobbly and the cabin crew made things worse because they really panicked.” An airport worker said: “I felt sorry for the people on board, but at least they landed safely. I’m not sure many of them will want to get straight back on a plane, though.” The closure was the second to hit Gatwick in three days. Last Friday, all outbound flights were briefly suspended after a hot-air balloon drifted into the flight path.
Smoking results are proving even more deadly than ever
RATES of lung cancer are continuing to rise in British women, with more than 18,000 cases diagnosed in 2009, according to new figures from Cancer Research UK. Incidence of the disease has reached 39.3 for every 100,000 women in the UK. This compares with a rate of 22.2 per 100,000 in 1975, when there were fewer than 8,000 cases. Lung-cancer cases mirror those smoking rates of around two to three decades earlier, since more than 80% of lung cancers are caused by tobacco. Smoking was most prevalent among British women during the 1960s,
Page 16
when some 45% of women smoked. This has since fallen by more than half. The new figures also show that the total number of UK lung-cancer deaths stands at almost 35,000 per year. A total of 19,410 men and 15,449 women died from the disease in 2010. Jean King, director of tobacco control at Cancer Research UK, said: “These latest figures highlight the deadly impact of tobacco. “And the continuing rise of lung cancer in women reflects the high number of female smokers several decades ago, when attitudes were different. “Tobacco advertising hasn’t appeared on UK television since 1965, but that didn’t stop the marketing of cigarettes. “New, more sophisticated
marketing techniques have lured many hundreds of thousands into starting an addiction that will kill half of all long-term smokers.” She added: “It is vital that the UK closes one of the last remaining loopholes that portrays smoking as something glamorous and normal, rather than the lethal product it truly is. “Ending the packet racket and putting all cigarettes in plain packs with large health warnings is crucial. “No one wants to see children take up smoking, and while plain packs won’t stop everyone from smoking, it will give millions of children one less reason to start.” The packaging debate is currently raging in Britain, and many believe it will not have the slightest influence on youngsters.

Appeal to new Tess owners
H A Z E L EAMES, Kennel Manager at K9’s animal rescue centre, has sent out an urgent appeal for an English couple who collected a puppy (pictured) last Friday in the hope of adopting her.
Sheila’s a top wag now! NO wonder Sheila’s tail is up because she has been t ra n s fe r re d from Accion del Sol to a lovely new home in Germany, where she has settled in quickly and is really happy.
The centre’s staff work hard to rehome their many dogs, either here or in Germany, but it is getting harder and harder to find loving homes for them as the recession bites deeper. If you are travelling to Germany and would like to escort a dog there, please call 922 778 630 for further details. Accion staff will provide all the necessary paperwork, and all the flight costs will obviously be met by the refuge. All that is needed is a little bit of your time at the airport here, and then Aktiontier, which sponsors the Granadilla refuge, will collect the animal in Germany. Bam Bam, also pictured, is one of the sanctuary’s longest-serving dogs looking for an adoption. He is a gentle giant and needs a home with lots of land, or a large garden. Many people pass him by, but he’s a super dog, with loads of love to give, so please visit the refuge and say hello to him if you feel you may be interested in adopting Bam

THE RESIDENT'S
CHOICE! Athletics: London Marathon
W C CHOICE
Sunday 22 April, BBC 1, 8.30am Sue Barker presents live coverage of the 32nd London Marathon as the world’s elite athletes tread the now familiar path around the streets of England’s capital city, alongside numerous club racers and thousands of fun runners looking to raise money for charitable causes. As well as glory in the English springtime, each winner will be looking to lay down an impressive marker for the Olympic marathon which will finish on the Mall. The men’s race has the two fastest marathon runners of all time in Patrick Makau and Wilson Kipsang, as well as the defending champion Emmanuel Mutai who won in a new course record last year. The women’s race boasts world champion Edna Kiplagat, defending champion Mary Keitany and Florence Kiplagat, the Kenyan who beat Paula Radcliffe to win in Berlin last Autumn. Dave Weir, as well as defending his title, is looking to equal Dame Tanni Grey Thompson’s record of six London Marathon victories, while there also promises to be a fierce domestic battle for the final places on the British Olympic team.

He is also working in the vegetable plot giving his tips on what to sow and plant out now. Carol Klein discovers our native lungwort, the pulmonaria, growing prolifically in the woodlands and verges of the New Forest, and meets a woman who has been growing them in her Hampshire garden for over 15 years. Joe Swift travels to an allotment site in West Yorkshire to meet a vegetable grower who, using the power of manure, is already harvesting an astonishingly early bounty of salad crops. And we meet a gardener whose Essex garden is full of summer colour, all down to his passion for lilies.

Jake Humphrey introduces the best action from qualifying in Sakhir, as Formula One returns to Bahrain following last year’s decision to cancel the race due to the prodemocracy protests. This the eighth staging of a Formula One race in Bahrain – a 3.36 mile circuit famed for its long straights, which are widened at the end to encourage overtaking. Opened in 2004, the 15-turn track was designed with spectators in mind as the sweeping grandstands enable fans to get a bird’s eye view of the action. Two years ago, in the opening race of the new season, it was the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel who was quickest. The German outwitted his rivals by selecting soft tyres, a move swiftly followed by the majority of the other drivers, but none could challenge his ultimately pole position-sitting time of 1:54.101. The Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso were second and third quickest respectively.

W C CHOICE TV 73: The Defining Shows BBC2, 20:00
1973 was the year when television realised its potential. Elvis Presley's Aloha from Hawaii became the first show with a global audience of one billion and the arrival of large screen colour TV sets confirmed that as a domestic fixture, the television had come of age. In this film, Mark Lawson looks back at five of the most popular programmes of the year - That's Life!, The Burke Specials, The Generation Game, The Onedin Line and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? - to consider what their success tells us about life in Britain at this time. With contributions from the former controller of BBC One Bill Cotton, Likely Lads writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, drama producer Verity Lambert and television critic Chris Dunkley.
The Italian Job Channel 4, 18:20 Classic comedy crime caper. Newly released from jail, Charlie Croker discovers that he has 'inherited' a brilliant plan for a bullion robbery in Italy. Aided and abetted by an imprisoned mastermind, the scheme calls for him to engineer the biggest traffic jam in history in order to steal the gold. All he has to do is overcome a few obstacles - such as a lack of money, not having a gang, and the wrath of the local Mafia.

Indian Ocean With Simon Reeve BBC 2, 8pm In his greatest adventure yet Simon Reeve travels the Indian Ocean, uncovering stories from some of the world’s most remote, dangerous and beautiful locations. He starts his journey on the rugged tip of South Africa, joining conservationists struggling to save the little-known and highly endangered African Penguin. Further up the coast he meets the South African authorities using high speed boats to hunt down poachers targeting a sea creature called Abalone, a delicacy for which Chinese gourmets will pay big money. This illegal trade is dominated by drug-dealing gangsters, whom Simon encounters in a poverty-stricken township in Cape Town. But it is the Indian Ocean’s greatest predator that dominates this leg of the journey. In his first ocean dive, Simon swims with huge and fearsome-looking ragged tooth sharks. Following a ride on a container ship travelling to the glorious coast of Mozambique, he accompanies local fisherman as they land a huge bull shark in their tiny boat, which is later butchered on the beach for its fins. It is part of a global tragedy that is seeing millions of sharks killed each year. Finally, Simon makes an emotional journey to the tropical island of Zanzibar, steeped in the long history of the slave trade.

The incredible story of a forgotten polar explorer will be told in a one-hour special programme - Frank Wild: Antarctica’s Forgotten Hero. Yorkshireman Frank Wild was awarded the polar medal five times, making him the most decorated polar explorer of his age and second in command to Ernest Shackleton on the ill-fated Endurance expedition – their attempt to cross Antarctica via the South Pole. In this extraordinary documentary, presenter and polar explorer Paul Rose joins a remarkable new expedition to bury Wild’s ashes next to his beloved leader Sir Ernest Shackleton, on the remote island of South Georgia in Antarctica. Wild’s ashes were only rediscovered in 2011, more than 70 years after his funeral, in an underground chamber in a Johannesburg cemetary. Frank was a key player in five expeditions to the Antarctic with Captain Robert Scott, Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton, but while they became household names, Frank’s exploits were forgotten. His later life was blighted by bad luck, thousands of miles away from the ice in the heat of South Africa. Frank was with Shackleton when they came within 97 miles of the South Pole in 1909. He was his second in command during the epic struggle of the Endurance expedition - when for more than a year - 28 men battled for their lives after their ship became stuck in the ice. Frank played a key role in keeping the crew alive after they were marooned on a desolate island for more than four months, surviving on a diet of raw penguin, seals and seaweed. Paul Rose says: “At these key moments of polar history Frank was in the thick of it. During these intense periods of hardship he showed incredible courage and resourcefulness. He was a true great who stood shoulder to shoulder with Shackleton -they made the perfect team. With Shackleton’s great leadership skills and Frank’s cool head and experience they were able to handle almost anything that the Antarctic could throw at them.” Frank’s polar career came to an end in 1922 and he tried to make his fortune in South Africa but ended up working in a bar in a dusty backwater. He died in 1939 and plans were made to send his ashes to South Georgia to bury him next to Shackleton, but with the start of the Second World War the plans were shelved and Frank’s ashes were lost. Angie Wild, the author of The Quest for Frank Wild, spent seven years investigating Frank’s story and eventually found his ashes in South Africa. Angie says: “When I started researching Frank Wild what started as an interest became an obsession. I was driven by a belief he needed me to tell his story. Little did I know it would uncover one of the great polar mysteries of recent times and add a new page to the history books of polar exploration.” Paul Rose adds: “I think it’s time to re-assess Frank Wild’s place in the list of polar greats and in my view, he deserves to be up there with Nansen, Scott and Shackleton as one of the absolute finest polar explorers of all time” Angie says: “Alongside his comrade Sir Ernest Shackleton - their graves facing South towards the Great Ice Barrier - Frank Wild is no more unsung and forgotten. The great polar explorer will be remembered up there with the greats and I am proud I played a part in that.”

It's the sixth leg of the Hairy Bikers' adventure and they have made it as far as southern Europe, Italy to be precise. Starting in Venice, the Bikers have to abandon their bikes in favour of a more elegant form of transport, the gondola, but that doesn't stop them cooking. By the side of a canal they bake a classic focaccia with rosemary. But it's not long before they are back on the road, making a dash for Turin to help celebrate Italy's 150th Birthday. In between, they cook a stromboli (American style rolled-up pizza) and visit a hazelnut farm to learn the secrets of a certain hazelnut and chocolate spread. But it's off the beaten track that they enjoy the 'real Italy'; a pasta pie on the back streets of Ferrara, catching up with Si's sister who lives in Tuscany, visiting old friends at their weekend retreat for a Tuscan feast and the chance to relive The Italian Job on the rooftop track of the old Fiat factory.

Ewan McGregor: Cold Chain Mission BBC2, 21:00 In this two-part documentary, Ewan McGregor is on a mission to the ends of the earth to immunise some of the hardest-to-reach children in the world. Against the odds, health workers deliver vaccines to the world's most remote children. But their fragile nature means the vaccines must be kept constantly cold as they are passed along the supply chain, from freezer to freezer. The routes these vaccines travel are known as cold chains. In this series Ewan is following two of these cold chains supported by Unicef. In the first episode, Ewan chooses a route that takes him through India. In a country with a booming population, often on the move, the cold chain is a race against time to stop polio before it can enter the country and spread.

Divine Women BBC 2, 9pm Award-winning historian Bettany Hughes sets out on an epic journey across continents and back in time to trace the hidden and often controversial history of women in religion. In the final episode Hughes discovers how the period known as the Dark Ages was in fact a golden age for a few remarkable women, as education and the written word became vital tools for them. First she looks at Theodora, the prostitute who became an empress and allied herself with Mary the Mother of God to rule over a great Christian empire. She also looks at the legacy of the wives of the prophet Mohammad: Khadija, the first convert to Islam and Aisha, whose words are still read by over two billion men and women today. Wu Zetien - a courtesan who harnessed the power of a philosophy, Buddhism, to become the only women to rule China as Emperor. And St. Hilda, a great educator and wise woman who presided over the crucial conference, the Synod of Whitby, which decided when Christians in Britain celebrate Easter. Bettany Hughes concludes that these extraordinary women across the globe used their courage, charisma and sheer brainpower to put the female of the species back at the heart of religion. Their incredible achievements still shape our lives today.

W C CHOICE The Apprentice BBC1, 21:00
It is week six, and Lord Sugar sends the candidates to Scotland, where they must make gourmet food and sell it on the streets of Edinburgh. The teams decide on Italian meatballs and Scottish stew, but before heading north there is a spot of market research at one of London's fancy street food fairs. It is clear from what is served up that there is more to this business than dishing up a burger and chips. In Edinburgh, two top-notch chefs help cook up the teams' recipes, but when it comes to mass producing the portions the stew is beefed up with pricey produce and the meatballs are made on the cheap. The teams have one day to sell from mobile units; one team tempts tourists with the sound of bagpipes and they cash in on the lunch-time rush. The others pitch up outside a football match, but soon find that fans will not fork out for what's on offer. Back in the boardroom Lord Sugar chews over the results, and one candidate gets their just desserts.

Louis visits the city in order to spend time in state-of-the-art care home Beatitudes and with home-based carers, whose love is tested by a condition that steadily erodes the personality and character of their partners. At Beatitudes Louis meets Gary, a 69-year-old patient who thinks he is serving in the military and that it is his job to check the state of everyone’s teeth. Louis submits to a dental check-up, is introduced to two of Gary’s new resident girlfriends and spends time with Gary’s wife of 20 years, Carla – a woman whom Gary robustly denies ever having married. In a suburban Phoenix bungalow Louis agrees to become carer-for-a-day to Nancy, a formerNew York model with a personality to match. He finds a woman who can no longer remember her way through a complete sentence, but also a husband who finds much to love in the glimpses of personality that still sparkle through the dementia.

2012 BBC Proms – looking ahead International orchestras, animated artists and an iconic Barenboim Beethoven cycle for BBC Proms 2012. It may seem a little early but the 2012 BBC Proms has been officially launched , revealing details of the broad-ranging programme of events planned for its 118th season. Opening at the Royal Albert Hall on 13th July 2012 the festival promises two months of the world’s greatest artists, composers, orchestras and ensembles across 92 concerts, including four Last Night celebrations around the UK. With the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, this summer promises to be unlike any other, and as such the Proms is delighted to be part of the London 2012 Festival. Throughout the season there is music to reflect these major events, and on the opening night of the Proms four British conductors take to the Royal Albert Hall stage to ‘pass the baton’: Martyn Brabbins, Sir Mark Elder, Edward Gardner and Sir Roger Norrington. Daniel Barenboim and his celebrated West-Eastern Divan Orchestra make Proms history by performing all nine Beethoven symphonies - the first time the entire cycle has featured at the Proms in over 60 years - whilst also becoming the Proms’ first ever non-BBC orchestra-inresidence. English National Opera and the Royal Opera House both perform complete operas in the same season for the first time; the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra becomes the first Brazilian orchestra to appear at the festival and in an exciting collaboration with Aardman Animations, the much-loved Wallace & Gromit characters are transported to the Royal Albert Hall stage for the world premiere of Wallace’s new work, a BBC commission!

W C CHOICE Two Greedy Italians: Still Hungry BBC2, 20:00
Liguria and la bella figura. Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return for more culinary investigations into Italian culture. The boys explore how Italy's social history has created a culture of admiration for superficial accoutrements in the showbiz port of Portofino. When the grandeur of the Hotel Splendido leaves them feeling empty, they embark on a journey to the mountain tops and back to try and re-discover the heart and soul of real Italian bella figura through food and the people who produce it.
The Plot to Bring Down Britain's Planes Channel 4, 21:00 The Plot to Bring Down Britain's Planes examines in minute detail an invidious home-grown terrorist plot to blow up airplanes flying out of Heathrow Airport, and reconstructs in candid, gripping detail the inside story of the UK's largest and most dangerous surveillance operation. Over the past few years, British airport security has been rigorously tightened and increasingly stringent restrictions have been imposed on what we can carry onto airliners. Anyone who travels by plane is well aware of the ban on drinks bottles in hand luggage; but few people know exactly why. The reason dates back to 2006 when a group of young British men from Walthamstow, East London planned to blow up multiple airliners, departing from Heathrow, simultaneously in mid-flight, with explosives disguised as soft drinks. If successful, it would have potentially killed over 2000 people and crippled the world aviation industry.

SUE MCDONALD Common Sense Furnishings Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com
A picture speaks 1,000 words... I WAS chatting to a friend who works for a management company, and she recounted the difficulties of renting out properties these days. She said that with so much available to rent nowadays, she really had to look at ways to market her properties so that they would be chosen above others on the internet. We had just revamped an apartment for her, and she told me that future bookings had increased over 50% in just a couple of months, and it was all down to a small revamp and changing the photos on the web page. As they say, you have only once chance to make a first impression! And when it comes to someone scrolling through several apartments, often in the same complex, what is it that makes them select one over another? Funnily enough, it could be simply a carefully-placed cushion or a well co-ordinated lounge with a glimpse of that sea view. Nowadays, more than ever, people are having to work to a budget, and revamping a property to look better need not cost a fortune. There is a tendency to think that a revamp has to be the whole thing, including kitchen and bathroom, and will run into five figures, but that isn’t necessarily the case. We have several of these type of projects on the go, and we have many ideas to keep costs down.
Page 38
For example, if a sofa is in good, structural condition and comfortable, we can reupholster it. Equally, if the furniture itself is of good quality, we can respray it, or perhaps do a bit of both - perhaps a new TV table, and respraying the coffee and corner table to match. Even the original pine furniture from years ago can look great when it is lacquered in white or cream. Add a few cushions and decorative items and your property can take on a whole new personality for a few hundred euros. The bedroom is particularly easy to dress because there is usually little furniture in there! Use a plain bedspread and a few bright cushions and it will make the smallest room look great. At the moment, we are working on a project in Royal Palm, which is the one I mentioned at the beginning of this article.The original furniture was pine, but strong and in good condition. We reupholstered the orange sofas in a more discreet and
tasteful beige abstract material, and resprayed the table and TV table. We hung some new light voiles and kept the original curtains. The pictures were a bit dated so we replaced them with some modern abstracts, picking out an accent colour which was repeated in the cushions, and the change was really remarkable. In the bedroom, we kept the beds since they were in good condition, but provided a new headboard, upholstered in leatherette. The bedside tables were resprayed in cream. The fabric first chosen by the client was rather expensive, so we put in a plain bedspread with just a runner in that material to keep costs down. We then used a cheaper material for the cushions and the curtains, but we kept the voiles and rails as they were fine and did not need changing. In this instance, the kitchen and bathroom were in reasonable condition, so the revamp consisted of our work only and putting it all together. The bill in total came to less than 2,000 euros and, as the management company pointed out, this will be quickly recouped from the increased bookings, thanks to the new photos on the website. If you are interested in a total or partial revamp, give us a call at Deco Nuevo, and we will come to the property and give you some ideas and costs. Estimates are free and without obligation.
Renove returns IF you cast your minds back, the government introduced an appliance and car renewal scheme, basically meaning that if you traded your old appliance/car in (subject to conditions) you received a discount; well it’s available again.
The Renewal Plan 2011 began last month and will continue until the 31 st July, or until the tranche of money provided for the discounts runs out. The number of household appliances has increased notably canaries in recent years have resulted in increased energy consumption in the domestic sector. The energy consumption of these devices can be significantly reduced by encouraging the use of household energyefficient equipment and in particular items tagged with Class A or better. These more energy efficient items are priced higher than the average market price, which varies by type of appliance. Energy consumption over its lifetime will be lower and therefore less energy bills for the consumer to pay. Thus, in the cases studied, the energy savings obtained allows the buyer to recover in part the
premium paid over the life of equipment. Terms and conditions •Be resident in the Canary Islands. •Purchase an appliance of the type specified as eligible in the Renewal Plan 2011 (Order of December 23, 2011 ) to replace the same type but of lower energy category. Appliances eligible •Refrigerator, freezer and fridge-freezer energy class
A + +: 125 euros •Refrigerator, freezer and fridge-freezer energy class A +: 105 euros •Washing energy class A, washing performance and energy consumption to less than or equal to 0.17 kWh / kg: 105 euros •Energy rating A Washing termoeficiente and washing performance A: 105 euros •Dishwasher energy class A, washing performance and energy consumption to less than or equal to 0.98 kWh / cycle: 105 euros •Termoeficiente Dishwasher Energy Class A and A Cleaning performance: 105 euros •Induction hobs Total: 105 euros •Dishwasher energy class A, washing performance and energy consumption to more than 0.98 kWh / cycle: 85 euros •Oven Energy Class A: 85 euros •Gas hobs: 50 euros The level of discount must not exceed 25 % of the cost of the item. The Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDEA) makes publicly available DATABASE EFFICIENT APPLIANCES classified by type, make, energy class, etc. The majority of electrical shops are advertising the fact that they are offering this promotion.

DAVID HUDGELL
Getting to the root of your gardening problems! Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com
Be proud to work in horticulture IN the, UK National Gardening week has highlighted the fact that the gardening industry needs 11,000 new entrants over the next ten years, existing companies are already struggling to find skilled professionals such as tree surgeons and groundsmen.
Couple this with young people thinking horticulture is for dropouts, it’s unskilled and unfulfilling. These are the findings of a new survey commissioned by the Royal Horticultural Society. Almost 70% of 18-year-olds questioned believe horticultural careers should only be considered by people who have “failed academically”. Nearly 50% of under-25s thinks horticulture is an “unskilled career”. The RHS is so concerned about this image problem and the looming skills gap threatening horticulture’s workforce, that it hosted a conference thi sweek. School careers advisors, students and colleges will sit alongside MPs and renowned gardeners including Alan Titchmarsh to decide what should be done to promote the diversity of
horticultural careers. RHS Director General Sue Biggs called for a plan of action and list of recommendations to change perceptions and engage more young people. She believes the Government needs to better recognise and promote horticultural careers and qualifications. It doesn’t help that the Government doesn’t seem to support UK horticulture. “It is quite staggering that whilst youth unemployment is at an all-time high, the horticultural industry has more skilled vacancies than it can fill in the UK despite the recession,’ Sue Biggs says. “The current education policy is not helping raise awareness of horticultural careers to young people. Today there is a lack of specialist technical skills, especially at higher levels, yet horticulture is not included within the school curriculum, and university degree courses with horticulture
are decreasing. On top of this our survey showed that horticultural career opportunities were not highlighted to 70% of people when leaving education. “A poor perception of the sector has resulted in minimal formal education and training schemes. Thousands of young people are missing out on incredible career opportunities – from gardening and garden design, the science of climate change and researching new pests and diseases to looking after the turf at Wimbledon or teaching children. “We must promote career progression,” Sue says, “and commit to delivering a framework of horticultural teaching and training through current initiatives, including the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, horticultural colleges and qualifications, and new schemes, working with partners across horticulture.”
The UK’s horticultural industry is worth £9 billion and employs nearly 200,000 people. The sector is still buoyant even through the recent economic downturn. There is now concern that not enough young people are getting the skills to fill the minimum requirement of 11,000 jobs that the sector needs over the next eight years. Alan Titchmarsh, who will tell the conference that we must work harder at promoting why gardening matters, says, “There are now over 1 million under-25s out of work, so why is the Government not doing more to help funnel skilled young people into a sector where there are opportunities? “Through studying horticulture you could end up organising some of the most creative, artistic events in the world or as a scientist working on drought solutions for horticulture,” Alan says, “but students aren’t seeing the link between their science, art or design courses and jobs on offer in horticulture. We need to act now to change perceptions and ensure our children grow up with a greater respect for and love of the tremendous natural riches that surround them in a country that can boast the best gardens and the finest gardening tradition in the world.”

CARL PATTISON
DEAR CHRISTINE
from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions
Just cut it out! AAAARRGGHHHH! Yup, I’m having a wobbler again, and this week’s trauma is our worse nightmare: cutting your own hair! There’s nothing worse than seeing one of our cuts destroyed in seconds because some of you think that what we do as stylists is a doddle. Cutting hair is, and always will be, an art, and we train for years to do what we do well most of the time. The simplest way of explaining it is to describe cutting as a series of removing hair in sequence. We connect every section of hair together to produce a well-balanced cut that follows a ‘map’ around your head. While we are cutting away, we are planning the next move to make sure that the following piece of hair is going to join the last piece. So when we discover that you have removed a slice or two at home, or you've cut your own fringe, we can tell you that it will take more than one haircut to put it right. On top of all this, our scissors are razor-sharp to create precision cuts. They are NOT like the kitchen scissors or, worse still, the ones you cut your toenails with! If you had toothache, I don’t believe you’d try to remove the offending tooth, would you? Or if
Page 40
you were ill, would you try prescribing yourself medicine? Quite rightly, you would consult an expert to make you feel better. Most salons offer free fringe cuts, as we do. It’s to stop you doing it at home, and it makes your cut last just that bit longer. We do this for nothing to avoid seeing you come in with pieces missing from your hair. If you can’t afford to have your hair cut, then wait a while because I am sure it will look better than if you have attacked it. And if you
have had your hair cut and a piece isn’t going right, then return to the salon and explain to them what you’re not happy with. I’m sure they would rather put things right than see you with a chunk missing. Finally, if you’re thinking of chopping at your hair yourself, then consider this: it has just taken me three haircuts to put right a fringe trim at home. It could have been done in seconds, free of charge, in the salon - and with less trauma!
Your resident Agony Aunt Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com Dear Christine, Two weeks ago I met a guy in a club and we spent the night at my apartment. Because I’m not working, he offered to open a bank account so he could deposit money for me, and he phoned the next night to give me the account details. I was going to deposit my savings the next day, but something felt wrong. I haven’t heard from this guy again, and I can’t decide whether he was trying to help or trying to steal from me. Should I have trusted him? Leanne It’s pretty certain that this guy’s intention was to steal from you, and now he has the access details of your bank account. As you may have been the victim of identity theft or some other financial scam, go straight to your bank to find out. Close that account and make sure you change all your PINs and passwords, and take advice from the bank staff. If it is identity fraud, you’ll also need to go to the police station to report it. If you’re looking for a boyfriend, it’s important to spend a lot of time face to face in an equal, respectful and caring relationship before you can assume anything about the other person. Talk is cheap. Don’t go by what he says, go by what he does. You also need to work out whether you’re both available in practical and emotional terms, what you both want from the relationship and if he behaves in ways that show
you and he match up. If you didn’t use a condom, Leanne, I hope you’ll also visit your doctor immediately for a sexual health check and pregnancy test. This guy didn’t con you because you’re you; he conned you because that’s what he does, so he’s good at it. Please take action to protect yourself soon - and never, ever share financial information with anyone you’re not already living with, and who hasn’t let you fully into every aspect of his life. Dear Christine, My husband and I separated shortly after we moved to Tenerife two years ago, but we still sleep together quite a lot. He says he loves me and even cries to me, saying he finds life difficult alone. Then yesterday I saw him with his arm around a girl. When I confronted him, he told me to get a life and said he loved the girl. When I told her we still slept together she was really upset and said they had been a couple for 18 months. I feel so gutted and hurt. Tracy I’m sorry you’ve been hurt all over again. To be blunt, though, why shouldn’t he fall in love with someone else and sleep with her? He’s separated from you, which means he has no commitment to your relationship. I can’t help wondering why you’ve been sleeping with him since you split up. Your decision to separate wasn’t an accident. It was
the two of you saying: “Our relationship can’t work, so we’re now free to look for other partners.” It’s easy to see why he’s been sleeping with you: he likes sex with you, no-strings sex, with someone who’s available to him. Sure, he likes you and fancies you, but that’s not enough to build a good relationship on. He may have offered you love, but it’s not the kind that feels good to you, and you obviously know that. Sleeping with someone is not the way to hold them to you, or keep them with you. And now he’s moved on, as he has every right to. You have that right, too. A couple of good things have come out of your “chat” with him and the girl. You’ve had it proved beyond doubt that he doesn’t share your views on sex, love and fidelity, neither to you nor to anyone else, so you can be glad that you’re now free to look for someone who does. Also, you know for certain now that sleeping with him doesn’t help you to move on. So how about realising that your worth doesn’t depend on him but on your own selfconfidence? How about giving yourself a few days to grieve, and then treat yourself kindly as though you’re recovering from flu? Seek comfort from your friends and interests until you feel better. Remember that there are loads of guys out there who’d like a caring, loving partner like you. Just take it slowly and let the guy earn your trust.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com
Prostate cancer cure proves successful in university trial A NEW, painless treatment for early prostate cancer has proved effective in a small trial involving 41 volunteers. All but four responded positively to the revolutionary treatment, conducted by the University College London Hospital (UCLH). Doctors there are the first to embrace the experimental treatment known as HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound). And another big
plus for them was that the after-effects were minimal. Just a year after the start of HIFU treatment (some men had it more than once), none of the 41 men had incontinence, only one in 10 experienced poor erections, and the majority (95%) were free of cancer, according to results published in Lancet Oncology. The “gun” used targets the tiny areas of cancer only a few millimetres in size. This type of technique is known as focal therapy. At the moment, patients
are treated with radiotherapy which targets a larger area, or surgery to remove the prostate completely. Unfortunately, both methods carry a great risk of damaging surrounding, healthy tissue and can lead to side-effects already mentioned. Dr Hashim Ahmed, of(UCLH, said: “Our results are very encouraging. We’re optimistic that men diagnosed with prostate cancer may soon be able to undergo a day-case surgical procedure. “And this can be safely
repeated once or twice, to treat their condition with few side-effects. That could mean a significant improvement in their quality of life.” He added: “Focal therapy of individual prostate cancer lesions, whether multi-focal or uni-focal, leads to a low rate of genitourinary (urinary and genital) side-effects.” One man taking part in the trial told ITV News: “I went in at 7am and was out shopping in the afternoon. There was no pain and I’ve had no sideeffects. I feel fantastic.” The research programme is
being led by UCLH’s Professor Mark Emberton, who said: “Focal therapy offers harm reduction. It is a strategy that attempts to redress the balance of harms and benefits by offering men an alternative to standard care.” Professor Gillies McKenna, director of the Medical Research Council and Cancer
Research UK Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology and Biology, said: “If these promising results can be confirmed in a randomised, controlled trial, focal therapy could soon become a reasonable treatment choice for prostate cancer, alongside other proven effective therapies.”
Battle of the bulge! IT’S either bad news or good news for fatties, depending on whether they have the willpower or even desire to shed some unwanted weight.

The finger is being pointed at them firmly by surgeons, psychiatrists, paediatricians and GPs, who have launched a campaign to battle rising levels of obesity in the UK. They believe that the current strategies are not working, which is why the Academy of Royal Medical Colleges (AoMRC), which represents
every doctor in the country, is beginning a three-month inquiry. Members will be gathering evidence to look for research and strategies that work in preventing or reducing obesity. The inquiry will look at action that can be taken by individuals, including diet, exercise and parenting, as well as the impact of advertising, food labelling and sponsorship. It will also examine clinical interventions, financial measures such as taxation, together with minimum pricing and education. The campaign will be chaired by Professor Terence Stephenson, Vice-Chairman of the AoMRC and President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. “Our starting point is the collective desire to ensure the healthcare profession is doing all it can to detect, treat, manage and, ultimately, prevent obesity,” he stressed. “It is unprecedented that the medical royal colleges and faculties have come together on such a high-profile, public health issue. “But we’ve done so because we recognise the huge crisis waiting to happen, and we believe that current strategies to reduce obesity are
failing to have a significant impact.” The professor added: “Speaking with one voice, we have a more of a chance of preventing generation after generation falling victim to obesity-related illnesses and death.” Statistics show that onequarter of UK women and just over one-fifth of men are now classed as obese, giving Britain the highest rate of obesity in Europe. In addition, one in three children is overweight or obese by the age of nine, which is an even more worrying statistic.

Food News CELEBRITY chef Heston Blumenthal has collaborated with royal chef Mark Flanagan to create a classic British food hamper, perfect for Diamond Jubilee picnickers. They will produce a menu of tasty treats for 12,000 guests who will dine in Buckingham Palace’s garden this summer. Blumenthal is famous for his odd combinations with the development of signature dishes like bacon and egg ice cream. But he has reined in some of his extravagant ideas to develop a hamper of seasonal British produce that includes chilled British country garden soup, tea smoked Scottish Salmon, Diamond Jubilee Chicken and Sandringham strawberry crumble crunch for pudding.

Diamond picnic fit for a Queen Blumenthal and Royal Chef Mark Flanagan launched the hamper at Buckingham Palace, he commented: “The dishes were chosen for several reasons. There’s a practical side, they had to be served to 10 to 15,000 people, so they had to be cold. We also wanted dishes that are tied into the last 60 years - iconic British dishes so that includes coronation chicken. “The garden soup is chilled plum tomato soup, there’s a cucumber in there and it’s finished off with garden
mint oil, that’s a British twist, and finished off with a touch of vinegar. And what the vinegar does it makes it really mouth watery, whenever we talk about your mouth watering, you need to generate saliva. The strawberry dessert has fresh strawberries and freeze dried strawberries and they’re from Sandringham (the Queen’s estate).” The famous dish of Coronation Chicken created to celebrate the Queen’s coronation in 1953 - has been updated and features an aromatic blend of spices he spent two months developing for a past television programme about curry. There is also a vegetarian option - Mushroom Parfait - and the side dishes include seasonal crudites of celery, carrots and red peppers, lemon and caraway Madeira cake, and chocolate indulgence cake. The cheeseboard selection features Duchy Originals from Waitrose organic West Country farmhouse cheddar and Red Leicester Crunch, served with chutney and oaten biscuits, washed down with Moet and Chandon champagne and Cobra beer.
Waitrose’s chefs worked with Blumenthal and the royal chef in developing the menu for the hamper. Next month the up-market food retailer will issue a recipe for one of the picnic dishes, so shoppers can make it at home and share in the Diamond Jubilee
celebrations. Waitrose has also created picnic dishes suitable for those with gluten and dairy allergies. Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal has launched the menu for the Diamond Jubilee picnic at Buckingham Palace. Alongside royal chef Mark Flanagan, the Fat Duck owner has put his spin on a one-off picnic for 10,000 members of the public in the Palace’s gardens on June 4. “It’s been a real pleasure to work with the Palace to create something quite special for the Diamond Jubilee Picnic,”
Blumenthal told Sky News at Buckingham Palace. “We worked hard to create some amazing flavours, making some modern twists on old favourites like Coronation Chicken.” Sky’s Paul Harrison samples the food on offer Coronation Chicken – or Diamond Jubilee Chicken as it is called - is bound with a creamy mayonnaise infused with Indian spices including coriander and garnished with peppery nigella seeds. Picnic goers will also be treated to fragrant Lapsang Soushong tea-smoked salmon, creme fraiche, lemon and fresh chives. The Sandringham strawberry Crumble Crunch includes strawberries grown on the Norfolk Estate. Vegetarian and glutenfree picnics have also been created and if it rains, each lunch comes with a special Diamond Jubilee poncho. “Normally we cater for a few hundred at a time in the Palace kitchens, so this has been a challenge,” explained Flanagan. To help with the sheer number of picnics and volume of produce, the Palace and Heston Blumenthal have enlisted the help of high street supermarket Waitrose. The Picnic Hamper will be unveiled on the day itself.

Gastronomic Tenerife International Golf Challenge is a winner
Spanish most sensible over danger of sun OUR attitudes to the sunshine are changing. A sun-kissed complexion is seen as healthy and attractive, but a large number of sun-conscious consumers are concerned about the damaging effects of the sun on their skin. According to the latest research from Mintel Beauty & Personal Care, Spanish consumers are among the most sensible about suncare in Europe. Half (50%) of us use sunscreen to avoid the risk of burning or developing cancer. 19% use sunscreen to avoid tanning altogether, which is more than twice the average of the UK (8%), France (7%), Italy (6%), and Germany (4%). In those European countries almost half (49%) of consumers use sunscreen when spending a whole day out in the sun and around a quarter (29%) use it to prevent premature skin ageing. Nica Lewis, Global Skincare analyst at Mintel, said: “Greater media coverage and health education programmes are helping to improve consumer awareness regarding the dangers of too much sun.
THIS WEEK Tenerife has been playing host to scores of European tour operators and golf journalists participating in the Gastronomic Tenerife International Golf Challenge 2012. Seeking to promote the island as a golf destination, organized by Turismo de
Tenerife the successful event concludes on (Saturday). Tenerife Minister for Tourism, Carlos Alonso, explained that “this time we wanted to promote a tournament to be held in addition to the Tenerife Ladies Open, to foster not only playing golf, for which we will showcase our magnificent golf courses, but to enjoy the complementary offer to the golfer, the island’s varied cuisine.” Participants are taking part
in tournaments at Amarilla Golf, Abama Golf and Golf Las Americas and will enjoy traditional Canarian delicacies such as wine, fruit, cheese and potatoes. In 2011 green fees on the island, totalled 293,884 euros an increase of 14.3 percent compared to 2010. The best results were obtained during the first two quarters, with increases of 18.2 percent and 19.1 percent respectively. Thus, in the first quarter 113,097
green fees, 50,726 in the second, 40,290 in the third and 89,771 in the fourth quarter. According to data analyzed by the research department of Tenerife Tourism Corporation, the Island golfer is an average age of 48.1 years, 3.3 years higher than the average visitor. Their average household income is 30.7 percent higher than the average traveler who visits Tenerife.
Visitors to Tenerife fall slightly THE total number of visitors staying in March was 438.028, a decrease of 3.1 percent among foreign tourists and 5.8 among nationals. However, it wasn’t all bad
Page 44
news, there were increases of 7.5 percent from the German market and 2.1 percent increase in the British tourists, but they did not compensate for cuts in other markets such as Nordic, Italian, French and Dutch. In March, the occupancy rate was 65.1 percent, 3.7 percent
lower, the average stay fell 0.38 points to 7.67 days and the overnight stays fell by 8.1 per cent. In the first quarter there were 1.239.926 tourists staying in Tenerife, an overall decrease of 1.4 percent. These figures must be viewed remembering that in 2011 a
greater influx of customers to Tenerife was seen due to the problems encountered in such countries as Egypt. Tenerife Tourism Minister, Carlos Alonso has warned that the future of tourism may be complicated by increasing air rates and the abolition of subsidies to airlines.
As awareness grows of overexposure to the sun’s UV rays, more consumers across Europe are taking extra care by using sun protection products when they are out in the sun, and not just when they are on their holidays.” Meanwhile, the UK continues to dominate launch activity for new selftanning products. Between 2009 and 2011 the country saw a 30% increase in the number of self-tan launches. Anti-oxidant claims in sun protection are another growing trend, 30% of new suncare products launched last year (2011) promoted antioxidant benefits, a 36% increase in only one year (2010/2011). This reflects brands’ strategy to meet consumers’ desire for fighting premature ageing. In France alone there was a 43% jump in the number of new face creams that include SPF between 2010 and 2011. “This reflects further sun savvy as consumers incorporate sun protection into their every day skincare routine,” Nica concluded. In Spain, sales of suncare products are forecast to grow 4.1% this year (2012), ahead of France, Germany and Italy. With high usage rates, high penetration and both women and men switching to higher SPFs, the 144 million euros (2011) Spanish market is highly competitive.
Ryanair has new summer schedule DERRY in Northern Ireland and Asturias in northern Spain become new destinations for Ryanair’s summer schedule this year from Tenerife South. Derry is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth largest within Ireland as a whole. Ryanair will begin the Derry flights on 5th July 2012. City of Derry airport is the main regional airport for County Donegal, County Londonderry and west County Tyrone as well as Derry City itself. Interestingly next year, Derry will become the first city to be designated UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in July 2010.
Asturias is a Spanish autonomous community, the same as Tenerife. It sits at the top of the mainland, bordered by Cantabria to the east, by Castile and León to the south, by Galicia to the west, and by the Bay of Biscay to the north. Asturias is served by Asturias International Airport (OVD), 40 kilometres from Oviedo, near the northwest coast and the industrial town of Avilés. Ryanair will begin flying from Asturias to Tenerife this summer on 27th June. Flights will operate the route on a Wednesday, departing the Principality at 12.55pm.

Peugeot’s slimline tonic PEUGEOT have sold more than 15 million 2-series cars since the launch of the 205 in 1983, but it’s not so easy for them these days. Both sales and profits are under attack from the South Koreans and even premium brands such as Audi, as well as more traditional rivals. Business has been so tight at PSA Peugeot-Citroën that the Peugeot family recently sold a tranche of discounted voting stock to General Motors in a collaborative move, concentrated more on reducing costs than selling cars. So there’s a good deal resting on their latest offering, the handsome 208, which will probably be toasted by “real” people rather than anonymous fleet managers. That’s because more than 60% of all sales are retail, and 75% have the much-preferred petrol engines and five doors. Marketing dictates a sprawling selection of 10 engines - five petrol and five diesel - and the range will start at £9,995 when it goes
on sale in the UK at the end of June. But the most popular model will almost certainly be the £12,700, 1.4 petrol in Active trim, which is where the interior touch-screen becomes standard. Sit inside and you will be surprised and amazed; the
latter because of the level of quality and design integrity, and also the space as the 208 is smaller outside than a 207, but bigger inside. There’s ample space in the front, while the boot is also bigger and rear passengers get more leg room. The surprise comes from
the tiny steering wheel which, when adjusted as you want, obscures the instrument cluster. This is part of Peugeot’s “regeneration” in ergonomics, but it won’t be everyone’s cup of team, as Vincent Rambaud, director-general of Automobiles Peugeot,
acknowledges. “It’s okay to have 20% of people who don’t like this car as long as the other 80% love it,” he says. The 1.2 packs a surprisingly big punch, partly because of the massive weight-loss foisted on the 208, which is 242lb lighter than the 207. The weight reduction has
New Panda’s TwinAirs and graces! THE Panda is Fiat’s bread and butter, and the company’s winning formula is threefold: small, charming and able. It is what they do best, and this latest city has all these facets all in spades. The four-cylinder 1.2-litre petrol version has already demonstrated that, and so does the new 900cc two-cylinder TwinAir model. It scores on style as much as any new Panda. From the outside, the tall, boxy design works well, and the car is longer, wider and slightly taller than before. The curved edges to the square headlamps are echoed by everything inside: from the door handles to the gauges.
20 April - 26 April 2012
This is a quirky and charming little ’un, and and the quality shines out: the doors close with a nice thud, the
seats are coated in thick cloth and the surfaces feel durable and well put together. And the well-equipped cabin,
with its Blue&Me set-up and excellent touch-screen satnav speaks volumes. Beyond the funky design,
you wouldn’t expect an engine with just two pistons and 85bhp to move the Panda so well. But it does, with enough poke for those cheeky, city lane changes and keeping you out of trouble. Strong brakes and quick responses make the Panda fun to zip around in. It doesn’t pitch about too much, even over speed humps, and has good body control in corners. Some drivers may find the ride too firm as it picks up every bump in the road. But the chassis and steering are super-communicative, even in a straight line. The Panda has a winning blend of quality and efficiency, and with 67.3mpg and 99g/km emissions, it’s ideal in the urban centres for which it has clearly been designed.
a positive effect on every aspect of the ride and handling. This includes a new-found chassis balance, which results in comfortable cornering. Also, the excellent suspension compliance means you won’t be rattled by road ripples or potholes. And eventually, I suppose, you’d become accustomed to the weird driving position, but it just feel a little odd. Electrically-assisted steering is also a vast improvement. It’s accurate and fast and, with all-round discs on most models, braking feels strong and linear. In creating the bestlooking car in its class, Peugeot have included high-quality interiors, a terrific range of engines and what appear to be keen prices. The 208 is 30% cheaper to build and 30% cheaper to engineer, so the cost accountants will be pretty pleased as well. Prices are from £9,995 to about £17,000 and the range is scheduled to hit UK showrooms on 28th June. All in all, it looks another winner from Peugeot, especially the three-door models, thanks to those weight savings.

Gaffers A, who were never behind on the night. Neil’s mob started quickly and kept up the challenge, even when they were constantly pegged back. Cagey, tight play was the order of the night and it was no surprise to see it go to a oneframe shoot-out. Jambo represented Hammers A, but Neil looked in control as he potted the early balls. He seemed always to be just a pot from winning, but Jambo hung in and eventually ground out a famous win. It should be an excellent final. As will the Toddys Gold Label plate final. Trap Door, who have been a revelation since the Christmas decorations came down, were too strong for Bar Tasca. Jamie, Mickey and Marcus gave them a 3-0 advantage at Dreamers Bar, and they were never going to throw that away. John gave Tasca hope when he made it 3-1, but Trap Door just slipped up a gear. Dave won the seventh frame to seal the win, while
Heineken Steve took the last rubber to complete the 8-2 scoreline. Summerland Superstars will be Trap Door’s opponents after beating C&A Titans at The Treehouse. But the Third Division side gave them a real match, and they will be thinking of what could have been. Superstars blew Titans away early and were 4-0 up. A whitewash was on the cards, only for Titans to find some form and confidence. They took both doubles matches and when David beat Pete, it was game-on at 4-3. But this just refocused the Superstars. Grandad beat Mark and the final place was booked when Penguin accounted for Andy G. Leon took the scalp of Ashley in the dead rubber to make it a more-than-respectable 6-4. In the one match played in Division One, Hoops went odds-on favourites to lift the title after beating defending champions Palms A 7-3.

Lugo show their class CD Tenerife 1 CD Lugo 1 THIS was Quique Medina’s second match in charge of CD Tenerife, the first being half-a-dozen seasons before Sunday. On that occasion, Tenerife played well in Santa Cruz and came away with a spirited draw with Sporting Gijon. On Sunday, for 2-2 read 1-1 and for Gijon it’s Lugo, but the rest was remarkable similar. The players were roundly booed by the crowd during the warm-up and as they left at half-time, but on the whole the atmosphere was much better. The axing of the fans’backed manager Andres Tebar was always going to bring a reaction and, while most of the fans seemed disappointed, at least the players seemed together. Medina didn’t surprise with his team selection, apart from giving youngster Sandro a debut from the bench. This was a decent match and a sharp reminder of what the rest of the season
- and nothing has changed over the last eight months. Tenerife were bright in the first half without really troubling Diego Rivas. They forced a mountain of corners but never carved out a decent chance. Victor Bravo, who had a much better match, was putting the ball in the right place but Lugo were wise to the danger. Garrido, Belforti and the excellent Pita snuffed out the aerial threat. Kike and Ferran were struggling to get any real joy from the wings, and Lugo were content to sit back and
will be like. There was much to admire about visiting Lugo, who for me are the best side to visit the Heliodoro this season. They were cruelly denied promotion last year and, in any normal campaign, they would be top of this league again. They were smashed 5-1 by runaway leaders Real Madrid Castilla last weekend, and sides with lesser strength would have been stuffed in Santa Cruz. But Lugo are cut from a different cloth. Even before a ball was kicked, this league was being dubbed the group of death

soak up the pressure. Late on, Tenerife created a super chance. A Lugo corner was quickly cleared and Victor Bravo stole the ball. Ferran had timed his run and was away, one-on-one with the keeper as he collected Bravo’s pass. His first touch was heavy and this gave Rivas a chance to narrow the angle. Ferran tried to squeeze it underneath his body, but Rivas was wise and made the save. The crowd were furious, but not as furious as Perona. He had bust a gut to support Ferran and a square pass would surely have given him a tap in. Half-time brought some boos, but Tenerife had done all right. Early in the second half, Medina brought on Sandros and he was a handful for pony-tailed right-back Aitor. He has a yard of pace and twice he left Aitor for dead. The change altered the marking as Aitor tucked in, hoping the extra yard would give him half a chance against the rampaging winger. And maybe it was this that led to Tenerife taking the lead on the hour. Kike Lopez was given time to cross to the edge of the six-yard box, where he was looking for Perona. Sandros was lurking at the back post and perhaps this twin threat made Belforti panic? Something put the centreback off his game as he had a rush of blood to the head. Belforti had been rock-solid all game, and would be after,
but stupidly, he knocked it into the net. The Tenerife players looked almost embarrassed as they celebrated. Not that the fans cared! Lugo’s response was impressive. Instantly, they upped the tempo, using the width and the obvious pace advantage. Tenerife were driven back, and 10 minutes from time the equaliser arrived.
Once again, Lugo’s aerial domination was the key as an in-swinging corner was headed on by Belforti. Aragoneses did well to parry the ball but, with the Tenerife defence AWOL, Pita tapped it into an empty net. Lugo had chances to steal the win in added time, and a vicious 30-yard shot from Garcia was brilliantly saved by Aragoneses. But that would have been tough on Tenerife. There were mixed results elsewhere, with Albacete winning. But Oviedo’s loss to Montaneros certainly helps. Tenerife travel to sixth-place Atletico Madrid B this Sunday in another tricky trip. A draw would be acceptable. CD Tenerife: Aragoneses 7, Cristobal 6, Tarantino 5, Pablo Sicilia 5, Llorente 6, Marcos 7, Víctor Bravo 7, Ferrán Tacón 6 (Sandro 6), Kike López 7, Luismi Loro 6, Perona 6.

Chio happy to stay intact WHILE Manchester United are set to collect a record 20th League title, the management team at little UD Chio are delighted just to have made it through the season. At their level, two clubs have given up this season through lack of funds, so it is quite an achievement for Chio, who reformed last summer. Their last home game takes place next Sunday (29th April) at 6pm against group champions and local rivals Guia De Isora, who have been promoted. They are going back up to Primera Regional next season, so this is one derby
which will not be played in the near future. But the Chio players and their loyal fans are all looking forward to the match - and an opportunity to greet the champions. Chio game tonight (Friday) is away at El Roque, in the hills above San Miguel, on the only other dirt pitch left in the south. Kick-off is at 9pm.

Horoscopes of the week Aries
(March 21st-April 20th) This is an especially good time for moving house, or for making alterations to your present home. Finances could be a bit tight, but if you use your imagination and ingenuity you may be surprised at the results you can achieve. Long-distance travel may seem out of your reach, but is actually very much likelihood, so don’t despair
TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Your social life looks interesting and you may travel further afield for your entertainment. A close relationship may be threatened by a third person, so it may be best to show your feelings. Pay special attention to your appearance, as you will be coming into contact with someone you are sure to want to impress. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) A visit to an important place is forced upon you, but it is sure to turn out to be more lucky than you had realised was possible. See what happens when you look upon life from a positive angle and get back into the forward-thinking role which your sign was designed for. Games played in love this weekend come back on you, so beware. CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) More short trips than usual are indicated. Some sort of family gathering is indicated and some important discussions will be had, with successful decisions being made. Be nice to the younger people in your life and they will open up and tell you what has really been going on in their lives recently. But know one thing for sure: life is on the up and up for you. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) An older person may be trying to interfere in your affairs, but try to be tolerant. Your need for independence has been forcing you to say things you now regret, but you don’t have to shout to be heard, and to inform others
Page 48
of what you will or will not do. You seem to think others can force you but you are wrong. They can’t. VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) Change is in the air in connection with your work, which may take some time to get used to, but should be to your advantage in the long run. Someone close to you wants you to make a change to your personal life. You don’t want this, but try explaining your reasons so that the person is at last able to see things from your point of view. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) Some romantic unsettlement is indicated, and emotions may run high for a couple of days. Try to take more interest in the affairs and activities of a close one and you should be able to do much to improve your relationship. You keep thinking back to the past and clearly regret something you’ve done. Get over it. It’s taught you a good lesson. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) A newcomer in your surroundings could play a significant part in your future affairs. Don’t be too critical of a youngster or you could undermine his or her self-confidence. Going back to places from your past makes you feel nostalgic, but it can also help you work through your feelings and emotions in a constructive way. SAGIT TARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) Don’t make any hasty decisions

over a business matter, but seek expert advice first. This could be the beginning of a much more contented phase in your love life as you finally start to say how you feel, and take down some of those many barriers you have put up since the beginning of the year.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) A new way to do your job may not seem as easy as you had hoped it would be, but try to stick to it as it’s the key to you making more money and confirming your place in the higher echelon. Fun flirtations may well get taken to the next level if your stars can push you hard enough this weekend.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) A special week is forecast where you start to weigh up all that has or has not happened in your life so far this year. You come into contact with someone who has some interesting ideas, and it could change your views on certain people you once used to be close to until recent events gave you reason to be concerned. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) There is never an easy way to tell someone something which is going to upset the person, but you can do it in a manner which does not drag it out, or allow it to come from a third party. That is why it must come over the weekend because your relationship may well depend on it.
What better way to train your brain. Starting at the left with the number provided, work across each of these lines applying the mathematical instructions to your running total. Don´t reach for the calculator - that´s cheating! Write your final answer in the last box of the line. Aim to complete each round in about 30 seconds. Good Luck!
