Candelaria is simply too hot for comfort!

Annual pilgrimage is postponed as another heatwave threatens Tenerife THE annual pilgrimage to Candelaria, one of the high points in the Tenerife calendar, has been postponed because of the abnormal heat!

Tomorrow (Saturday), more than 250,000 people from all over the islands and mainland were expected to converge on the tiny, picturesque village, on Tenerife’s east coast, to pay homage to the Virgin of Candelaria, patron saint of the archipelago.

But with our fifth heatwave of the year anticipated this weekend, the Cabildo has decided to err on the side of caution, rather than risk worshippers being harmed by the blazing sun.

Having already experienced high temperatures last month, when the mercury rose 1.5 degrees above the average for the time of year - the highest for six years, safety-first was the order of the day.

Temperatures are rising already and a Yellow Alert has been issued in anticipation of a scorching weekend.

Hopefully, some of the thousands making the pilgrimage on foot, as usual, will have been alerted to the postponement by mobile phone and will have passed the message on to fellow hikers.

It is a devastating blow to everyone involved, not least to organisers, and you wonder whether they will even

be able to reschedule such a huge event.

Bear in mind that sections of the TF-28 highway would have been closed for a period to allow the pilgrims to continue their journey, with extra buses laid on to pick up travellers from the South at stops along the TF-1.

The meteorological office AEMET is expecting temperatures of 35 degrees today (Friday) and Saturday so the parade, set to pass through the districts of Tacoronte, La Laguna, El Rosario and Candelaria is a no-go right now.

Ana Lupe Mora, Minister for Environment, Land and Water Sustainability, said at yesterday’s press conference: “Given the weather forecast we anticipate, we want to prevent the pilgrims suffering from the effects of the heatwave.”

But she is not sure when the pilgrimage will be on again. “It all points to the high temperatures ending on Sunday, but we must wait for the next weather fore-

casts to be certain,” she said.

“If the heat continues, the pilgrimage will still be postponed.”

The Cabildo, when calling an immediate halt to the fiesta, also had in mind the devastating fires recently.

That is why it has imposed a ban on weekend fire-related activities, such as barbecues and picnics in the mountains, to prevent further blazes.

Mora believes the Tenerife mountains are “ticking bombs”, and she has also forbidden the burning of agricultural waste or forestry, and firework displays in areas close to vegetation.

The festivities are considered to be one of the most important events in the entire Canary Islands every year, celebrating the appearance of the patron saint.

In Aboriginal times, the Virgin was worshipped by the Guanches, who are “represented” at the Plaza of the Basilica, where her image first appeared, according to tradition.

First forces family heads to Tenerife under the give us time scheme CLUB LA COSTA World Resorts & Hotels will play host to the first military family to enjoy a holiday in the sun under the Give Us Time initiative launched by former defence secretary Dr Liam Fox. Captain Anthony Harris, 31, his wife Elizabeth, and two children, Felix (5) and Emily (3), will today fly to Tenerife to enjoy a week long family holiday at Club La Costa World’s Sunningdale Village holiday resort.

The Give Us Time project was launched in June under the charity Afghan Heroes, set up by mothers as a legacy to the sons and daughters who have lost their lives during the Afghan conflict. It aims to provide holidays for armed service families to recover from the trauma of combat and to adjust in a neutral and quality environment.

Captain Harris, from Great Missenden, Bucks, was injured after his Jackal armoured vehicle was destroyed by an IED (improvised explosive

device), which resulted in him later losing the lower part of his left leg. He serves in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and has shown huge determination to not only overcome serious injury but to dedicate himself to raising funds for service charities, supporting families whose lives have been changed by combat.

He said: “This is a great initiative to allow families time and space to enjoy each others company again after what can be harrowing times and truly life changing situations.

My tour of Afghanistan was

10 August - 16 August 2012

my sixth in seven years and during each one of the periods away my family worried about what was going to happen, and when I was injured it was a huge shock.

“The military, my regiment and many service charities all played a big part in getting me to the point where I am now. It is a great privilege to be chosen as the first family to take part in one of these holidays, given so generously by individuals and companies like Club La Costa World. After the tumultuous last three years it will be a welcome break to

bond as a family again away from the recovery process.”

Dr Fox called on holiday home operators, second home owners and timeshare companies and owners to donate weeks which could be used by service personnel and their families for recuperation after a tour of duty, by families who have lost a loved one and by those who have suffered mental or physical injury in combat.

A database has been set up to register donated weeks and Club La Costa World was one of the first companies to

sign up. Since the launch of the initiative nearly ten years worth of holiday time has already been pledged.

CLC World Managing Director Martyn Aldridge said: “We warmly applaud this initiative and are delighted to play our part in making available holiday accommodation when we can. Our service personnel do a difficult job and it is important to show our appreciation for the work they do, and to support the families of those who have lost loved ones or who are

coping with long term injury.

A relaxing holiday can be an important tool in the recuperation process, and we very much hope that Captain Harris and his family enjoy their time in Tenerife.”

Denise Harris, founder of Afghan Heroes, whose son Lee lost his life in Afghanistan, said: “This fantastic response and generosity means that we can now help a huge number of families who will be able to spend quality time together to readjust and relax in a stress free environment.

The holiday that Captain Harris and his family will enjoy thanks to CLC World will be just the first as we start to roll out a programme that will benefit so many service families whose lives have been affected and in some cases completely changed.

The launch of Give Us Time and the fantastic reaction from the public and a number of companies means we can help many families and make a real difference to helping them readjust together.”

Doctors say no HUNDREDS of doctors in Spain pledged this week that they will ignore a new, unpopular law that requires them to deny treatment to illegal immigrants from September 1st, as part of the government’s deficitreduction measures.

Under the controversial measure foreigners living in the country without residency permits will be denied treatment at public hospitals and health centres unless they are under 18, pregnant, or in case of an accident or other medical emergency.

Anger over the measure increased this week after the government said it was working on a system that would allow illegal migrants who pay an annual fee to continue to receive care from the public health system.

“My loyalty to patients does not allow me to ignore my ethical and professional duty and abandon them,” said a manifesto signed by 870 doctors and posted online.

By signing the manifesto the doctors also registered as “conscientious objectors” against the law in a database launched in July by the Society of Family and Community Medicine, which represents 19,500 doctors.

The new law “puts us in a situation where we have to stop treating people who

were out patients, and that violates our deontological code,” the association said.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s conservative government wants to cut Spain’s public deficit to less than three percent of gross domestic product in 2014 from 8.9 per cent last year, the third-largest deficit in the eurozone that year.

It argues that restricting free health care to illegal immigrants and steps to curb “health tourism” by Europeans will save around one billion euros per year.

The health ministry said it was working to create a system whereby nonEuropeans in Spain could pay a fee to use the country’s public health system.

The ministry did not say how much they would have

to pay, but daily newspaper El Pais reported that those under 65 would have to pay 710 euros per year.

Older people could be asked to pay up to 1,865 euros per year, it added.

“This affects the most vulnerable people, those who don’t have any residency papers,” said Vladimir Paspuel, who heads Ruminahui, a Spanish-Ecuadoran association that offers social and legal assistance to immigrants.

Asked about the controversy over the new law, the Popular Party’s spokesman in congress, Rafael Hernando, said: “What illegal immigrants should do is enter Spain legally.”

Spain “can no longer be a paradise for illegal immigration”, he added.

‘Fast and Furious’ in Tenerife VIN DIESEL and his crew will be filming much of the latest in the saga, ‘Fast and Furious 6’, here in Tenerife and everything is ready as the production gets underway.

Vin returns to the big screen in the action-packed film, billed as the most ‘explosive’ yet, in the company of Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Michelle Rodriguez. Rumours abound that Rihanna might just have a part to play, too.

Justin Lin will direct the film, and action is said to be based in Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz and some coastal locations and a trip will also be made over to Lanzarote.

So why choose Tenerife?

Universal Studios are up front and say they are keen to take advantage of the Archipelago’s tax incentives with “The Fast and the Furious 6”. Universal is enjoying the 38 per cent tax credit for production dollars spent in the Canary Islands, with insiders estimating the deal could save the studio around $20 million.

The film has already started shooting here in Tenerife.

But Spain’s economic issues are casting a shadow on

the tax credit, which other major studios have also taken advantage of, like Warner Bros. who used the Canary Island credit last year in Tenerife for “Wrath of the Titans.”

For the Canary Islands, however, the biggest problem is that its incentive program has not been tried and tested until recently.

However, “Fast and Furious 6” was originally slated to shoot in Marseilles but relocated to the Canaries for the bigger

tax rebate. When currency rates are favourable, it can be another enormous boon to foreign productions.

“The cost of shooting is very reasonable and becoming more reasonable,” said Moreno’s Juan Gordon, who used the Canary Islands’ 38 per cent breaks, urban settings and desert landscapes to re-create Iraq on “Invasor.”

A film must qualify as Spanish to take advantage of the incentives. That could mean partnering with a local production company or using mostly Spanish cast or crew. Universal’s credit could require the production to shoot for at least two weeks on the Canary Islands, create a special tax structure and include local talent or professionals. Other qualifiers include partnering with a local production company.

Bomberos heroes raising funds to replace damaged equipment TENERIFE’S Bomberos (Fire Brigade), who played such a heroic part in overcoming the fierce forests fires recently, are fund-raising to replace equipment lost and damaged during their marathon battle.

With this in mind - apart from recent a door-to-door collection - they are staging a show at Roy’s Pizza and Indian Tandoori Restaurant, in San Eugenio Alto, this Saturday (11th Aug), from 3pm onwards.

The main source of cash will be realised from a grand raffle, with numerous donated prizes, and many more are needed, if you can help.

Carlos, from the Bomberos,

will be available on the day with one of the fire appliances.

Kris Richards, one of the organisers, will be contacting many entertainers over the next week. Venues and comperes are invited to contact him with offers of help, particularly by staging fund-raising events over the following weeks.

There will be an Adeje Bomberos Land Cruiser and driver available to call

at venues to collect funds raised.

The Bomberos have already received several generous cash donations, so a dedicated bank account will be opened, (details to follow) to collect donations from those who cannot get to any of the events but want to contribute.

For all enquiries, offers of entertainment, fundraising, or raffle prizes, please contact Kris on 626 900 360.

Spanish technology operating on Mars THE Astrobiology Centre, (CAB), part of Spain’s Aerospace Institute, (CSIC-INTA), has provided the weather monitoring station on Rover, the Mars Science Laboratory, which has just landed on the red planet.

Scientists at CAB worked long and hard to develop the extremely sophisticated equipment and are proud that it was used on the rover and is already gathering data from the planet’s surface.

The Rover Environmental Monitoring Station will measure and provide daily and seasonal reports on atmospheric pressure, humidity, ultraviolet radiation on the Martian surface, wind speed and direction, air temperature, and ground temperature around the rover.

Two small booms on the rover mast will record the horizontal and vertical components of wind speed to characterise air flow near the Martian surface from breezes, dust devils, and dust storms. A sensor inside the

rover’s electronic box will be exposed to the atmosphere through a small opening and will measure changes in pressure caused by different meteorological events such as dust devils, atmospheric tides, and cold and warm

fronts. A small filter will shield the sensor against dust contamination.

A suite of infrared sensors on one of the booms (Boom 1) will measure the intensity of infrared radiation emitted by the ground, which will provide an estimate of ground temperature. These data will provide the basis for computing ground temperature. A sensor on the other boom (Boom 2) will track atmospheric humidity.

Both booms will carry sensors for measuring air temperature.

An array of detectors on the rover deck that are sensitive to specific frequencies of sunlight will measure ultraviolet radiation at the Martian surface and correlate it with changes in the other environmental variables.

Operational plans call for taking measurements with the Spanish made equipment for at least five minutes every hour of the full-Martian-year mission, some 98-weeks.

Government threatens a consumer protection group THERE is a row going on at the moment between the Government and FACUA, the Consumers Association.

The Health and Consumers Ministry, run by Ana Mato, has demanded FACUA stop their campaign against the Government’s spending cuts, saying that if they

don’t do so within five days, they will be excluded from the registry of user’s associations.

If they don’t stop their campaigns, the Government warns that FACUA could be made illegal. They call on FACUA to remove such campaigns from its webpage.

‘These associations cannot dedicate themselves to different activities apart from the defence of the

interests of consumers and users’, said Pastor.

In response, FACUA spokesman, Rubén Sánchez, commented, “There is no legal argument for the Government to stop us defending the consumer”.

They have said that if they are removed from the registry of users associations, they will appeal to the courts.

‘We won’t give in to

blackmail, or stop calling on citizens to demonstrate’.

FACUA say that what the Government is putting forward is an authentic attack on democracy.

The board of FACUA will hold an extraordinary meeting on August 13th, and they will start making contact with social and political organisations and other consumer organisations, including at the international level.

El Medano enjoys a great July THE COASTAL area of Granadilla de Abona, in particular El Medano, had an excellent month of July, according to hotel occupancy figures, especially, says Tourism Councillor Nuria Hernandez Delgado, during the weekends when there were so many different activities and events on the coast.

Mayor Jaime González Cejas, added that the hotel occupancy numbers came in at 90 per cent, referring to the three hotels in the area, the Hotel Medano, Playa Sur and Arenas del Mar, as well as

the apartments and hostels, in particular the Hostal Carel, Apartments Tina and Durazno, and the recent addition of Casa Grande Surf Hostel, aimed especially at lovers of water sports.

Meanwhile, Nuria Delgado, notes that the program of activities organised by the Granadilla Town Council, “Have contributed to making our coast more attractive and has brought in more visitors, not only local but from all over the Island, as well as national and international travellers.

“We have hosted the World

10 August - 16 August 2012

Windsurfing Championships, the Fotograficafest Granadilla, the Macaco concert, Sansofe, Tourism and Sport Fair, sporting events and varied cultural activities throughout the summer season”.

Delgado added that advance estimates on occupancy for

the month of August are also, “very positive, proving that Granadilla de Abona has everything people are looking for when on vacation. We have the best natural beaches on the island and a wide range of water sports to practice throughout the year”.

A word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

The Spanish are among the medals at last, but Team GB are still streets ahead IN between Britain’s Great Gold Rush at the London Olympics, Spain have picked up just nine medals to far.

Their tally comes from two golds, six silvers and a bronze, with their Taekwondo team netting a gold and silver yesterday (Thursday).

Joel González wiped the floor with his two previous rivals, and won the gold comfortably against South Korea’s Daehon Lee in the final.

In the ladies’ section, Brigitte Yagüe took the silver medal after being overwhelmed by Chinese rival Jingyu in her final.

Canoeist David Cal became the toast of Spain on Wednesday when his silver medal in the C1 1,000m singles event earned him the honour of becoming Spain’s leading Olympian with five medals.

He won gold in the 2004 Athens Games in the CI 1000m and 500m sprints, and gave a repeat performance four years later.

Spain’s first gold came courtesy of Marina Alabau, who dominated the women’s windsurfing event and came up trumps on Tuesday.

Alabau, who took the lead and stayed there during previous rounds, had to finish Tuesday among the first seven out of 10 participants to take the gold, which she did with ease and, fittingly, crossed the finishing line first.

Javier Gomez secured a silver medal on Tuesday with a magnificent performance in the men’s triathlon, splitting the fabulous Brownlee brothers Alistair and Jonny, who were favourites to complete a one-two double for Great Britain.

Spain’s synchronised swimmers took silver, and there was a bronze in the

slalom event.

Last night after we had gone to press, Spain’s women, already guaranteed a silver medal, were competing for gold against the US in the final of the water polo event.

Meanwhile, Britain’s most successful Olympic team for more than a century, and more guaranteed in the boxing at least, will take part in an open-top bus parade through London on 10th September.

It comes a day after the closing ceremony for the Paralympics, and the parade will start at Mansion House and travel to the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace via a route not yet decided.

It is the perfect reward for all those thousands who could not get tickets for any event to cheer on their favourites, including six-time gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy, golden girl Victoria Pendleton, 10,000m champion Mo Farah, cycling hero Bradley Wiggins, a fourgold winner, Ben Ainsley, the greatest sailor of all, Britain’s pin-up, Jessica Ennis, and all the other heroes who contributed to Team GB’s astonishing display.

“It will be a parade of both Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and we’re working with the Mayor’s office, Transport for London, the park authorities and various boroughs,” said the British Olympic Association.

Sunday’s Closing Ceremony is turning into a major concert - a Symphony of British Music - with more than 4,000 performers taking part, including George Michael.

As we go to print, Nicola Adams has just won Britain’s first-ever gold medal for boxing. She beat Chinese world champion Ren Cancan in the flyweight final. Bringing the Team GB total to 24 gold medals and 51 medals in total.

Bankruptcy hits the construction industry A RECORD 2,272 Spanish individuals and firms have declared bankruptcy in the second quarter, up 28.6 per cent from the same period in 2011, the National Statistics Institute, INE, says.

Failing businesses accounted for all of the increase, as personal bankruptcies fell by 12 per cent.

Spain had 6,755

bankruptcies in 2011, the highest annual total since the INE began keeping records, and an increase of 13.3 per cent over the previous year.

Nearly 31 per cent of all the firms that declared bankruptcy in the second quarter were in construction, which continues to shrink as Spain struggles with a double-dip recession and the bursting of a decadelong housing bubble.

Small and medium-sized companies, defined as those with annual turnover of less than two million euros, represented 70 per cent of the business bankruptcies in

the April-June period.

Spain’s ICC consumer confidence index dipped in July to its lowest level since the monthly survey was launched, the official Centre for Sociological Research said last week.

The ICC, which is based on a scale of 0 to 200, came in last month at 37.6 points, down 13 points from June and 36 points from July 2011. Any reading below 100 points is considered negative.

More than 60 per cent of those surveyed said their families’ finances had deteriorated over the previous six months, and

48.4 per cent expect things to get worse in the next six months.

Two-thirds said they struggle to make it to the end of the month without running out of money.

Almost 89 per cent of respondents characterised Spain’s present economic situation as bad and 71.5 per cent foresee a further decline.

A majority said they expect both inflation and interest rates to rise in 2013.

Spain’s jobless rate stands at 24.6 per cent overall and more than 53 per cent are people under 25.

Keep El Medano beach clean GRANADILLA Town Council is again calling on the public to keep the area’s beaches clean, particularly in El Medano - especially during the busy summer season.

Del Duque flies the flag PLAYA del Duque’s beach in Costa Adeje has regained its Blue Flag, according to Adeje’Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga. The beach was awarded the coveted European prize again after introducing additional security measures, including more patrolling lifeguards.

The beach is used by an average of 2,000 sunbathers every day, both tourists and locals.

Cabildo’s new green service TENERIFE Cabildo and the Chamber of Commerce have introduced a new service for businesses until the end of the year which will provide advice on environmental concerns and questions. The ‘Línea de Consulta Ambiental Empresarial’ is designed for any Tenerife company or worker, providing them with information on how to apply environmentally-friendly solutions. Call the experts on 922 100 418 during morning office hours.

Tourism workers on the up OVER 7,000 new employment contracts in the tourism sector were signed in Tenerife in July, up 11.5% from the same period last year.

Pole demands payment of 400yr-old debt AS IF Spain didn’t have enough debt woes, now a Polish legislator is calling in a 235 million zloty debt dating back to the 16th century.

At issue is a 430,000 gold ducat loan taken by King Philip II of Spain (1527-98) from Poland’s Italian-born

Queen Bona Sforza (14941557) to finance the war between Spain and France for control of the Kingdom of Naples, most of which has never been paid off.

Marek Poznanski, a 28-yearold member of parliament with the renegade left Palikot Movement, has launched a

request for repayment, which Poland’s foreign ministry is currently examining.

“I’m well aware my request might seem odd, but I’d like it to make politicians really think about the consequences of lending money to other countries,” Mr Poznanski said on his

Facebook page about his unusual initiative. According to him, during the period in question one gold ducat weighed 3.5 grams. Using current gold prices, the value of the debt would amount to 57.4 million euros, not including 400 years’ worth of interest!

Canary’s Javier Bardem say cuts threaten the arts THE ARTS in Spain, including the big film sector that gave the world Pedro Almodovar, are in peril from a sharp rise in sales tax that will drive away audiences, top cultural figures say.

“They are generally killing the cultural activity in this country,” said one of the country’s best-known actors, the Canary’s own Oscarwinning Javier Bardem.

“It’s a country that produces great culture and is very well recognised outside our frontiers,” said the Gran Canaria born Bardem. “But what they are doing is to

really minimise the cultural industry in this country.”

Spanish schools and hospitals have been suffering for months from budget tightening measures aimed at lowering the public deficit, which have drawn hundreds of thousands of protestors onto the streets.

The government insists its austere reforms will strengthen the economy in the long run, but economists warn measures such as the rise in sales tax from September 1st will hit consumption and depress the economy further.

Spaniards have already been curbing their spending on cultural pursuits and the industry warns the tax rise will be the final blow.

Artists say the subsidy cuts

threaten the intangible longterm benefits of culture in a country still marked by its 1936-1939 Civil War. The reform, one of the latest in tens of billions of euros in savings announced by the conservative government, raises sales tax on cultural shows from its current preferential rate of eight per cent to a full 21 per cent.

If the whole burden of this tax rise is passed on to the consumer, it could add more than a euro to the price of a seven-euro cinema ticket and several euros to a more expensive theatre ticket.

The rise affects all cultural spectacles but most of all stage and screen, which currently enjoy a lower rate.

Tax on tickets for professional

football matches will rise from 18 to 21 per cent.

Meanwhile the recession in Spain is driving artists abroad, like thousands of other Spanish workers.

“I live here, this is my country, but since a while ago I’ve been working more outside Spain than inside,” said Bardem, known for Hollywood roles including the hitman in the 2007 picture “No Country For Old Men”, the romantic painter in Woody Allen’s 2008 “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and the villain in the upcoming James Bond film “Skyfall”.

“Me, thank God, I have that opportunity, and because of that I keep on working,” he said. “But if I based all my work in Spain at this moment I would be unemployed.”

Business figures fall THE number of companies operating in Spain fell for a fourth straight year in 2011 to a five-year low, according to data released yesterday, highlighting

the impact of the global crisis that has tipped the country into recession and made one in four jobless.

The National Statistics Institute (INE) said the

10 August - 16 August 2012

number of companies active in the euro zone’s fourth largest economy fell by 1.6 percent last year to 3.199 million, marking the fourth consecutive year of

contraction. The sectors in which most companies stopped operating in 2011 were construction (-13.2 per cent), specialist construction (-10.2 per cent) and architecture, engineering, drafting and technical analysis (-7.3 per cent), the INE said in a release.

Since the peak of 3.422 million companies registered at the end of 2008, nearly a quarter of a million businesses have shut down, the data showed.

At the end of 2011 5.4 million people were out of work and the unemployment rate was 22.9 percent, up from 4.1 million and a jobless rate of 20.3 percent. So far in 2012, that rate has hit a record high of 24.6 percent, leaving 5.7 million jobless, according to figures from the INE.

The Government is considering bail out SPAIN’S conservative prime minister said this weekend that his government was considering making a request to the European Central Bank for bailout assistance.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told reporters in Madrid he might consider such a request in the future after receiving more details from the ECB on what conditions the bankers would place on such assistance.

“Then, depending on the circumstances, we will make one decision or another,” Rajoy said. “When somebody asks for something, they must know what they’re asking for.”

While Rajoy did not commit

to seeking help from the ECB amid Spain’s ongoing financial crisis, his statements marked a shift in attitude in Madrid about enlisting the ECB’s aid, the Wall Street Journal said. The newspaper said Spanish officials only recently began conceding in private that an ECB bailout would be necessary.

The ECB last week said it was ready to resume the purchase of government bonds to ease the European Union debt market; however individual governments such as Spain would have to make a formal request and commit to a package of strict conditions.

THREE suspected members of AlQaeda arrested in Spain were planning to launch an attack from the air on a shopping centre in Gibraltar during the Olympics, according to recent reports.

Police found a video in the home of one of the suspects, Turkish national Cengiz Yalcin, in the Spanish city of La Linea de Concepcion across the border with Gibraltar, which shows him piloting a large

remote-controlled plane, El Pais reported, citing antiterrorism sources.

“At a certain moment the plane descended and it dropped a package from the air. On the ground, Yalcin celebrated his achievement,” it said. Police believe the suspects were preparing to use a remote-controlled plane to drop explosives on the shopping centre during the 2012 Olympics which, Spanish public television TVE and other media said.

No one at Spain’s interior ministry was immediately available to comment on the reports.

Keep siestas down to a 30 minutes if you know what’s good for you SPAIN is renowned for its siestas, but too much of a good thing can wreck your sleep at night.

Experts maintain that a good siesta should last just 30 minutes at the most, and always on the settee. Overdo it, though, and the chances are that you will pay the price at night.

A mental health working group studying the siesta, established by the Mental Health and Dream Section of the Spanish Society of First Aid Doctors (SEMERGEN), was responsible for the research in between siestas, of course!

Spokesman Enric Zamorano says siestas have many beneficial points, including contributing to cardiac recovery, and improving your learning skills..

He believes it is part of the body’s natural cycle.

After lunch, the body has a sensation of tiredness, which means a small siesta, or a stimulating drink, can lead to a continuation of activities in the afternoon.

The siesta is a type of recuperating sleep, and here are Dr Zamorano’s feelings

about a perfect afternoon nap: *It should last no more than 30 minutes *Any longer and it will distort its beneficial effects *A sofa or a comfortable armchair is recommended instead of a bed *Siestas are not advised for people with insomnia *A siesta improves both physical and mental health Dr. Zamorano stresses the importance of taking a siesta by saying: “It is worse not sleeping than not eating.”

It’s not just in Spain that the siesta is now a custom. Space agency NASA is the latest scientific organisation to see the benefits, which, officials say, is better than any other medical solution.

And their researchers say that 26 minutes is the ideal duration to get your head down.

The data from America’s National Transport Safety Board (NTSB)) has shown an improvement in the effectiveness of air traffic controllers after a siesta.

It shows a 34% improvement in the performance of the workers, and 54% of them are more alert.

Dangers to sea life from oil prospecting?

Environmental NGO Oceana has denounced the oil prospecting plans in the Canary Islands, claiming they could have a significant impact on coldwater coral reefs, deep sponge fields, hydrothermal vents, black coral, angel sharks, cetaceans, tortoises, and almost 100 protected species.

In a report sent to the European Commission this

Page 8

week, OCEANA lists a total of 25 protected areas, 12 kinds of threatened habitats and 82 endangered species at risk.

The area where the prospecting is planned by Repsol, shelters gas-based habitats that are protected by the Habitats Directive. These are the home of coral and sponge communities that will be physically destroyed when oil prospecting activities start.

“Accidents involving the spillage of hydrocarbons into the marine environment will be inevitable, and pollution will affect hundreds of local species and habitats,” said Ricardo Aguilar, Director of Research at Oceana Europe. “Even though the islands most affected

would be Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the dominant currents in the area would eventually carry the pollution to Gran Canaria.”

Not only will local biodiversity be damaged, according to the NGO, but two main archipelago activities, tourism and fishing, might also be equally affected. The Canary Islands Channel is home to species such as sardine, anchovy, tuna, hake, and bonito, and Oceana has documented a high biodiversity in the area, with about 350 communities and habitats.

The Canary Islands were declared a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) by

the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for their biological wealth and economic importance. This establishes even stricter criteria to prevent all kinds of waste and pollution, criteria which have not been applied to Repsol when granting exploration permits, say the organisation.

The oil company has failed to inform the Spanish government about the presence of protected habitats in the area where it intends to carry out its activities, even though it was aware of their existence, alleges the NGO. “Repsol consistently omits or conceals data. The Spanish Government and

the European Commission should not allow this attitude, but should rather sanction it by revoking the permits,” said Ricardo Aguilar. “A very dangerous message is being sent: that the law doesn’t apply to everyone in the same way, and that some companies are exempted from complying with the directives and international agreements for marine conservation.”

However, according to Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism and Chairman of the Canary Islands PP party, José Manuel Soria, the controversial surveys undertaken by Repsol, some 60 kilometres from the

Canary Islands, could detect that “there is oil, gas or both, which would be the salvation of the Canary Islands”, with its current high unemployment and weak economy.

Soria stressed the benefits for the Archipelago’s economy and said that at 60 kilometres off the coast, the project would be “fully compatible” with tourism on the islands.

The Canary Islands Government and the Fuerteventura and Lanzarote Cabildos are fighting against the drilling, but Soria said finding oil would be, “an extraordinary opportunity, primarily to provide work for the young.”

Línea Directa highlights the new French laws about drink-driving ALL French drivers driving on roads in France must now carry a breathalyser kit in their cars.

The measure, announced by the previous government, should have taken effect four months ago, but the rush to buy the kits led to supplies being sold out which, in turn, has led to a moratorium on the introduction of the devices.

According to the French authorities, the regulation, the first of its kind to be introduced in the European Union, will also affect foreign drivers who drive in France.

But they will not be required to have the device installed in their vehicles until November.

In addition, breathalysers will also be obligatory in all discotheques and bars which have a licence to open at night.

THE Cabildo of Tenerife, through the Department of Environment, Land and Water Sustainability, are aware of the enormity

that new technologies bring to the media, and it wants to use these tools to open a window to the participation

of citizens Tenerife in the management and improvement of the environment of the island, from the simple,

everyday issues to more global and more fundamental in that society wishes to provide, review or consult.

To do this, they have created a Facebook page “Voluntary Participation and Environmental Tenerife” which, from today.

This project is operated through the Office of Volunteer Participation and Environmental Area, whose management is entrusted to the public company IDECO. The Office, established in 2004, has concentrated its action in past years on volunteering and corporate social responsibility and is now expanding its field of action to promote information, social debate and public participation in environmental issues.

With this initiative, the Department of Environment aims to go one step further in their project work promoting their transparency and accessibility to citizens.

Meteors, by the shower!

By implementing this law, the French government hopes to save 500 lives a year, because of the presence of alcohol being detected in almost one-third of all fatal accidents occurring in France.

In addition to this regulation, the French authorities have approved a packet of measures aimed at reducing the accident rate on roads. These include: *An increase on the road network in the number of fixed speed cameras to 2,500, which will not be signposted. *The introduction of newgeneration mobile speed cameras, which allow a travelling police car to measure speed. *All motorists must carry a high-visibility vest and a warning triangle.

Forest fires

LAST weekend two wild fires were raging on two Canary Islands; burning out of control for 48 hours affecting the islands of La Gomera and La Palma.

Weather conditions improved, together with the action of air support they have now managed to extinguish the fires, there are and still will be hotspots however.

In La Gomera nine percent

of the area affected is the Garajonay National Park which has caused problems with mobile phone services, as 40 percent of the networks of major mobile phone companies have been badly affected.

The recent fires further increase the need for at least one seaplane to be based within the archipelago; the Canarian Government have requested a minimum of one aircraft be based within the islands for instances such as these.

5-Year depression Down the tubes YESTERDAY marked the fifth anniversary of the day the global financial crisis officially started and the public appear to be more disillusioned with the banking sector than ever before.

As the Parliamentary Inquiry on Banking Standards prepares to get underway, a new Which? survey has found almost three-quarters (71%) of people don’t think UK banks have learnt their lesson from the financial crisis – up from 61% in September 2011.

Consumers also have low expectations that the Inquiry will lead to change, with only a quarter of people (26%) confident that it will lead to positive improvements in UK banks.

Since the start of the financial crisis consumers have been bearing the brunt of the recession with the Which? latest wellbeing survey showing that nearly half are worried about mortgage rates (45%) and the level of their household debt (42%).

At the same time, consumers have been hit by a series of bank scandals, which have further exposed the broken culture and mismanagement in UK banking. These include the mis-selling of Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), which is now on course to be the biggest financial scandal of all time, Libor interest rate rigging, and IT system failures at Natwest and Nationwide.

Which? is calling for the Banking Inquiry to produce tough new proposals to force banks to work better for consumers by tackling the lack of competition and culture in banking.

Other findings from Which? are: •84% of people think that the banks have not done enough to change the

10 August - 16 August 2012

banking industry to ensure another credit crunch does not happen again – an increase from 76% in September 2011.

•71% think the banking culture hasn’t got any better since the start of the credit crunch.

•50% of people think that the government’s handling of the banking industry has also got worse.

•80% think there is a deeper problem with the culture in banks than just a few individuals making bad decisions.

Which? chief executive Peter Vicary-Smith said: “Five years on from the beginning of the financial crisis, public confidence in the banking industry is at an all time low, with a series of scandals exposing mis-

management and corruption at the very heart of the banking system that have cost UK consumers dear.

“The Parliamentary Banking Inquiry must produce proposals for fundamental change to the culture and practices of the banks and put the best interests of consumers back at the centre of reforms.

Nothing should be off the table if the Government is to rebuild consumer confidence in this essential service.”

Which? wants the Inquiry to focus on the needs of consumers, and to make recommendations for handing power back to bank customers and transforming the culture and level of competition in the banking sector to achieve this.

LONDON Underground cleaners have mounted picket lines after walking out on strike in a dispute over an Olympic bonus payment, which is set to last 48 hours.

LU and employers Initial said services were not being affected by the stoppage.

An Initial spokesman said: “Service is not being impacted with the vast majority of our colleagues continuing to do an excellent job and working as normal.

“Initial Facilities is proud to support its colleagues on the London Underground contract by paying the London Living Wage. More recently, we have also organised free Underground travel for colleagues during their shift throughout the Games period and launched a new recognition programme.

“Our colleagues had pay increases consistent with the London Living Wage in September 2010 - 3% - and September 2011 - 5%. Our next annual pay review discussions are due later in the year and we have no plans to change this process which applies to all colleagues and is consistent with previous years.”

RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: “With the eyes of

the world on the London Olympics the many millions enjoying the events around the globe must not forget the London transport cleaners on minimum pay rates doing some of the dirtiest jobs in often appalling conditions with no Olympics recognition and reward whatsoever.

“It is these same staff who have played a key role in keeping services clean and safe who are now forced again by their employers to take action for a living wage and recognition of their Olympics efforts.”

Phil Hufton, asset performance director for London Underground, said: “This industrial dispute is between Initial and its staff.

We have reviewed our staffing plans and have already put contingencies in place.

We anticipate no impact on London Underground services as a result of this industrial action.”

Initial said workers who voted in favour of action represented around 10% of a team of over 1,500 people working on the London Underground contract in a range of roles, including cleaning, vegetation clearing, tree surgery, fencing, administration and supervision.

Waugh murder: 40-year-old re-arrested IN the murder case of Carole Waugh, Police investigating her disappearance have re-arrested Rakesh Bhayani on suspicion of murder.

Unemployed Bhayani, aged 40-years, is being interviewed in a south London police station.

In addition he faces three charges of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation worth around

£280,000, linked to use of Ms Waugh’s identity. Back on the 24th July, Bhayani, from Wembley had appeared via video link at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody to appear again at Southwark Crown Court on September 25th. Police found Ms Waugh’s badly-decomposed body in a car at a lock-up garage in New Malden on August 2nd.

It is thought she died from a single stab wound.

The 50-year-old oil executive, who was originally from Durham, was reported

missing on May 7th and had not been seen by her family since April.

Another man, Nicholas Kutner, 47, is being held in custody on fraud charges after being arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnap on August 1st.

He is accused of pretending to be Chris Waugh, Ms Waugh’s brother, in an attempt to sell her London home.

He also faces two charges relating to renting her property at Tressard Court and a fourth of

Mars is ‘home from home’ THE Mars robot rover that landed earlier this week resembles Earth, according to Nasa.

Scientists say the planet’s looming mountains and hanging haze are like the Mojave Desert in California.

“The first impression that you get is how Earth-like this seems looking at that landscape,” John Grotzinger, chief scientist of the California Institute of Technology said.

He added: “It kind of makes you feel at home.

“We’re looking at a place that feels really comfortable.”

On Wednesday night the

‘Curiosity’ rover poked its head out for the first time since landing in the Gale Crater.

It then peered around and returned a black-and-white self-portrait and panorama that is still being processed.

It provided the best view so far of its destination since touching down on Sunday night after nailing an intricate choreography. Since landing, Curiosity has sent a stream of pictures taken by tiny cameras under the chassis and a camera at the end of its robotic arm, which remained stowed.

It also sent back a lowquality video showing the

10 August - 16 August 2012

last two minutes and 30 seconds of its descent. The rover’s ultimate destination is a mountain towering from the centre of the crater floor. Preliminary estimates indicate Curiosity landed four miles away from the base of Mount Sharp, thought to contain intriguing signs of past water - a starting point to learning whether microbial life could exist.

Before the one-tonne, nuclear-powered Curiosity can start roving, it has to undergo several weeks of tedious but essential health checks.

unlawfully withdrawing funds from Ms Waugh’s bank account.

Ms Waugh had lived and worked in Libya for a number of years, but returned to London in 2008 and would regularly visit relatives in Durham and Cumbria.

Her former boss, Stuart

Anderson, told journalists she had fled Libya after being threatened by someone in Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s regime, but a Metropolitan Police spokesman said the enquiries were focused in London.

Detectives said she met men through a variety of

internet sites, including dating websites, and they were investigating the possibility that she might have been an escort.

So far, a total of 10 people have been arrested in connection with the inquiry into Miss Waugh’s disappearance.

Second man jailed for honeymoon murder A SOUTH AFRICAN hitman told a Cape Town court on Wednesday that Shrien Dewani hired him to kill his honeymoon bride. In a signed statement, Mziwamadoda Qwabe admitted murdering Anni Dewani. He said he was hired by taxi driver Zola Tongo to carry out the job and told to make it look like “a random criminal act”.

He said the British businessman, from Bristol, demanded that the Cape Town car-jacking murder be “unconnected” to him in any way, in return for a £1,335 fee.

Qwabe, 27, turned prosecution witness as

part of a reduced-sentence deal and was “rewarded” with a jail term cut from life to 25 years.

He was the second suspect to admit taking part in murdering Anni during the couple’s honeymoon in Cape Town two years ago.

The beautiful 28-yearold Swede was driven away and shot after their taxi was carjacked on the outskirts of Cape Town on their way back from dinner.

Her husband, now 32, was left behind unhurt and is now trying to fight extradition from Britain to South Africa to stand

trial for the murder. Tongo has already been jailed for 18 years after turning state witness. A third man, Xolile Mngeni, who has a malignant brain tumour, was scheduled to attend a pre-court conference this week.

Mr Dewani’s lawyers say he will need up to a year to recover from stress and depression before being fit for extradition.

Anni’s uncle, Ashok Hindocha, said: “We are just happy. Two of the accused have pleaded guilty. Now we want to know what really happened to Anni -and why they killed her.”

Tia Sharp still missing THE Tia Sharp missing girl case has taken a different turn today as Police are liaising with officers who investigated the fake kidnap of Shannon Matthews as the search of bins outside Tia’s grandmother’s house continues.

Officers say they are talking to other forces who have dealt with missing schoolgirls, including West Yorkshire Police, who investigated Shannon’s disappearance.

The nine-year-old was the subject of a fake kidnap plot by her mother Karen Matthews, 36, and another man in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Tia, aged 12 years, has not been seen since last Friday when she left her

grandmother Christine Sharp’s home in south London.

Police put a hold on rubbish collections in the area on Monday, but were now checking through hundreds of bins as the investigation entered a new search phase.

Two dozen officers are carrying out “minute searches” of the rubbish before it is loaded on to refuse trucks by workers from Croydon Council, Brunt added. The search is likely to take two days.

Police have also cordoned

off a landfill site where rubbish collected from the 2,000 houses on the estate is taken.

Several Facebook page appeals have been set up to find the missing girl.

On Wednesday police interviewed her grandmother’s boyfriend, Stuart Hazell, as a key witness.

It is thought he was the last person to see the schoolgirl.

The 37-year-old was not arrested, and returned two hours later to his partner’s home in New Addington, Croydon.

Dozens of officers have joined the hunt for the missing girl, and have searched woodland at the bottom of the estate, some 400 yards from the terraced house.

Neil Basu, Metropolitan Police area commander has confirmed that the investigation was still a missing persons inquiry with no suspects, adding: “I am looking to find Tia safe and well.”

“The family want Tia home, they miss her dreadfully,” Mr Basu said.

Tia seemingly vanished without a trace after telling relatives she was going to the Whitgift shopping centre in Croydon.

Police revealed yesterday that a member of the public had reported seeing the schoolgirl leaving Mrs Sharp’s home at midday on Friday.

The witness told detectives Tia was alone when she left the house, but it was unclear where she was going.

An earlier trawl through hours of CCTV footage found no trace of Tia, who has never gone missing before.

Ryanair to send free alerts for flight delays RYANAIR has announced that passengers who experience Ryanair flight delays, of over 90 minutes, will now receive free text message updates to advise them of the likely duration of the delay and their new departure time.

The service, developed in partnership with Sentient (www.sentient. ie), is a new addition to Ryanair’s existing email/ text and website passenger communications and will be particularly useful during periods of severe disruption such as bad weather, ATC strikes or widespread airspace closures (e.g. volcanic ash).

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair delivers Europe’s No 1

customer service and our new text alerts system will ensure we stay No 1.

Now passengers who have provided us with complete mobile numbers will receive realtime information if they experience a rare flight delay of over 90 mins.

The latest SITA study found an estimated 95% of airline passengers carry a mobile phone when they travel and our new system will ensure passengers are

kept fully informed during periods of mass disruption, such as bad weather, air traffic control strikes or airspace closures.”

Sentient’s Derek Corcoran said: “Sentient worked closely with Ryanair to design a pan global messaging application to ensure timely and accurate information for passengers, delivering real-time flight information via multilingual SMS.”

Toddlers fail to learn, grey-parrot fashion!

CHILDREN do as well as African Grey parrots only from about the age of three, according to scientists.

In fact, the parrots are actually smarter than the average two-year-old, and researchers believe that in the animal kingdom, only great apes can match their ability to understand noise-related, causal connections.

Researchers tested six African greys, housed in a parrot rescue centre in Vienna, Austria.

During a series of experiments, the birds were asked to choose between two closed boxes, one of which held a piece of walnut and rattled when shaken. The other, an empty container, could be shaken without making a noise.

The parrots demonstrated that they knew how to detect hidden food rattling in a shaken box.

More impressively, they also worked out in a flash that if a

box were shaken and made no noise, the food was in the other container.

Choices were made by a parrot walking over to a box and turning it over with its beak.

In similar tests, most animals - and even small children were confused about the way

10 August - 16 August 2012

shaking and noise relate to the presence or absence of a hidden reward.

The scientists, led by Dr Christian Schloegl, from the University of Vienna, wrote in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences: “Human children solve this task from an age

of three to four years, and the birds’ success rate was comparable to those of the three-year-olds.”

The parrots could not even be tricked when they heard recorded sounds of a box rattling. If a box were not shaken at the same time, it was ignored.

Underground Russian kids had never seen the light of day A REMARKABLE story has emerged from Russia concerning children up to the age of 17 being born underground and never having seen daylight.

The 20 youngsters - from 18 months upwards - formed part of a 70-strong sect, who had been living in a bunker in Kazan, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, in west-central Russia. One 17-year-old girl was reported to be pregnant, and the authorities have now charged the adults with child abuse. The group, who practise the Islamist cult, had existed for nearly a decade without natural light or heating in their expansive, man-made, subterranean dwelling.

The cave-like property was discovered underneath a brick building on the outskirts of Kazan. Only a few of the group were allowed to leave their home to work as traders at a local market, according to the Russian

media. Deputy prosecutor Irina Petrova said the rooms were like “cells”,lacking sunlight and ventilation. She added: “According to the agency for control of public facilities, there are eight levels of rooms, where not only children but adults live as well.” The group have been identified as the Fayzarahmanist sect, named after their 83-year-old organiser Fayzrahman Satarov.

He is a self-styled prophet who deemed his decrepit house above the cave to be an “independent Islamic state”.

He has been charged with negligence.

Doctor Tatyana Moroz, head of a local children’s hospital, said the youngsters were all in a “satisfactory” condition.

“All the children had been fed, but they were dirty,” she added. “Upon their arrival here they were washed and had a full medical check-up. They will be cared for at an orphanage after being discharged from hospital.”

The Entrepreneur Revolution DURING the Industrial Revolution 150 years ago, there were two types of people: those who could afford a factory, and those who couldn’t.

The cost of starting a business and employing people meant that if you didn’t have masses of funds, you ultimately became a worker and was paid just enough to survive.

Today the cost of owning your own factory is less than a couple of grand, yet we have some of the highest unemployment rates in history!

We’re at a time in which we are seeing massive shifts in trends: job security doesn’t exist any more; and big companies can’t compete with smaller ones as the birth of Social Media has

Page 16

given power to the little person.

And tools like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have given entrepreneurs the opportunity to “interact” with their audience.

I’ve seen many cases of people creating Youtube videos to market a product and, within days, have had more than one million views, have been offered investment by venture capitalists and have created an international brand.

A great example of this is Dollar Shave club. Watch this link because it’s guaranteed to make you smile: http:// bit.ly/P78Atd This week I was speaking with my good friend Daniel Priestley, founder of Triumphant Events, and author of How to Become a Key Person of Influence.

As owner of a Serviced Office business centre, Capecan Business Centres, and being a specialist in inward investment and new-start companies, all too often I see small and new businesses making horrific mistakes when it comes to

running a business.

Poor sales are the main reason why businesses don’t survive, says Daniel.

It’s simple - people have to remember that to build a valuable brand, they need to follow the following points: 1) Pitch 2) Profile 3) Product 4) Publish 5) Partnership Pitch: Creating that perfect pitch, which tells the world what you are up to and why you are special, will enable you to be recommended more easily. You will find that a strong pitch will start to attract positive attention, clients and opportunities.

Profile: We live in a world where “marketing budgets” need to become “remarkable budgets”. When you see an advert which makes you aware of your needs or desires, most people then go

straight to the internet and search, via Google, for the most remarkable product or service to buy.

Product: You obviously have your core product or service, but in every business it’s the SECOND product that will make you the most money. Every business needs a product for its prospects.

If clients can’t afford your core product, then create one they can afford until they become big enough to buy your core product.

You’ll find that core product and second product will increase your revenue beyond what you believe is possible.

Publish: The best business card you can every give to someone is your book! All the experts have a book, so what are you an expert in? And what value can you put in a book that will help

other people? If you want to become an “Authority” in your specialised area you first need to become an “Author”.

Partnerships: Follow the first four steps and you’ll be turning away more partnerships than you’re taking on. You will be able to cherry-pick the best opportunities, and spend time with interesting, exciting other “KPIs”.

Capecan Business Centre will be holding workshops and coaching sessions with Daniel and the KPI programme experts.

If you’re a small business owner, or you have a business idea and want to start a company but are unsure of the procedure, contact chris@capecan. com and we’ll give you information about our book and DVD, and show you how to enrol on the course.

and was the best friend anybody could have.

He left the Lions with his own example: “Be the best you can be to help people in need every day”.

A spokesperson said: “We are grateful for the time we have known him, and may he rest in peace.”

Kids’ stuff - for Oasis Fm and the Pearly Grey team GOOD golf, good grub, a riotous raffle and a grand charity bonanza - all the ingredients needed for a fabulous day out - and all for a worthy cause.

Oasis Fm’s annual Open Tournament, at Amarilla Golf, in association with Pearly Grey Ocean Club, provided some muchneeded funds for the Callao Salvaje holiday resort’s important charity project.

The event was organised, as usual, by Tenerife’s top English-speaking radio station and, with Pearly Grey on board, which ensured a huge turn-out for the Texas Scramble four-man team event.

And on the receiving end of a staggering 7,800 euros was the Ingane Yami Charity in South Africa, which is close to the hearts of Pearly Grey owner James Beckley and his staff.

The winning Spanish

team of Benito, Marcos, Fabrizio and Santiago outshone their 25 rival sides with a superb net score of 55.6 points.

But all 104 players were winners as the company’s charity cash “barometer” went right through the 50,000-euro ceiling, thanks to their efforts.

The barbecue was a magnificent feast and the raffle was a question of taking the Mick - and the Paddy! There were dozens of prizes, thanks to the generosity of those who fell to Pearly Grey’s charm.

When an early prize, for a weekend for two at a local spa came up, the winner was asked: “I suppose you’ll be taking the wife?”

“No said the gentleman.

“I think I’ll take Paddy!”

Huge cheers all round, and poor old Paddy became everyone’s partner as the prizes tumbled thick and fast. It really was hilarious, and the Irishman laughed as loud as everyone.

Pearly Grey enlisted a mountain of sponsors to make the event go with a swing, and everything came together to ensure a splendid day out, and an even more splendid outcome.

Mariana Reggiani, the company’s Administrator Co-ordinator, sent a message out this week to Oasis Fm and everyone else involved in the event, including their own team of willing workers, and all

the sponsors (too many to be mentioned), saying: “On behalf of Ingane Yami, we would like to thank you for all the work and collaboration done for the 2012 Golf tournament. We have raised 7,800 euros, which are being sent to South Africa.

“We have received very good feedback from golfers and collaborating companies.

“Once again, thank you very much for a wonderful day!”

The Ingane Yami Children’s Village, just outside Durban, was established in response to the orphan crises in KZN, South Africa.

Ingane Yami, which

means “My Child” in the local Zulu dialect, is a non-profit-making organisation, currently in the process of building a children’s village that will provide long-term care for orphaned and abandoned children - especially those whose parents have died from Aids.

Pearly Grey’s involvement came as a result of James Beckley, himself a South African, witnessing the plight of these poor children on a trip back to his native country.

He was so moved by what he saw that he was determined to do as much as he possibly could to help build houses in the village, via his Tenerife business, to

house youngsters, along with a foster mum in each one.

Since 2009, Pearly Grey staff members have taken part in all kinds of fund-raising activities, including a Teide walk, climbing Kilimanjaro, and ocean swim and golf tournaments, this being the third one.

After outlining the charity’s deeds, and stressing that every cent collected went direct to the charity in South Africa, James told golfers and friends at the presentation ceremony: “These poor children simply cannot help themselves, so it is up to us to do as much as we can to ease their plight.”

Community Shield Sunday, 12 August, ITV1, 13.00 Matt Smith is joined by Lee Dixon and Gareth Southgate for live coverage of the Community Shield between Chelsea and Manchester City at Villa Park.

The traditional curtain-raiser to the new season features two sides that signed off last season in the most dramatic fashion. Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City were crowned English champions for the first time in 44 years when they scored twice in stoppage time against QPR to clinch the Premier League title while Chelsea became European champions when they beat Bayern Munich on a penalty shoot-out in the Germans’ own stadium.

That triumph secured Roberto di Matteo the Chelsea manager’s job on a permanent basis and his task now is to close the gap on Manchester City in the Premier League. Today’s match should provide the first clues as to whether he can succeed. The £32million signing of Eden Hazard should also help - Chelsea pipped City to the signature of the 21-year-old Belgian playmaker who will be keen to make an impressive start to life in England.

Commentary from Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend.

Elvis Everywhere THE year is 1972 and Elton John releases Rocket Man, in which one line states: “Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids.”

For parents everywhere, here are some facts about Mars: the thin atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide; night-time temperatures can drop as low as -191°F - and the nearest Morrisons is, at best, 54.6 million kilometres away.

Not the kind of place to raise your kids? That’s easy to work out. I mean, it ain’t rocket science or E=MC Hammer, is it?

Les is more LES MOORE first got interested in musical royalty at the age of eight while watching all of the 31 Elvis movies.

His further interest in entertainment stemmed from watching his parents, both singers, perform their acts in Clubland. And when big sister bought Les an Elvis suit for his 30th birthday, a tribute was born. In 2005, Les and Mrs Moore decamped to Majorca, where he made a big name for himself in the subsequent six years. Since moving here less than 12 months ago, he has already begun to repeat that success.

For instance, a few days ago something sounded wrong with my car, so I took it along to Tailpipe, a British-owned garage I’ve patronised for years, because it’s hard to explain car problems in pigeon Spanish.

“What’s the problem?” asked Slick.

“It’s hard to explain.”

“No worries. Leave it with me; I’ll call you in an hour.”

Perfect! The very next day, as I relaxed in front of the TV, the phone rang.

“I’ve found the fault,” said Slick, “it’s your Heisenberg compensator.”

“I’ve heard of that.

Something to do with transport, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, sort of. Anyway, it needs changing. It’ll be 300 euros and the car will be ready tomorrow, or sometime next week.”

“Make it so,” I ordered, channel-surfing for a decent programme. “Ah, now you’re talking, Star Trek - in English!”

W C C H O IC E Tonight ITV1, 20.00

Episode One – The Hunger Shame In the first of a special three-part series looking at our relationship with food. Julie Etchingham examines the impact of rising prices on alreadytight family budgets.

With four million people across the UK living in food poverty, Julie visits a food bank where free groceries are given to people in need, and she meets a mother of two young children who is struggling to put enough food on the table even though her husband is in work.

This programme reports on just how much food bills have gone up in the past five years particularly among what could be considered to be the basic items. The humble potato has risen in price by 95 per cent in the last five years. Eggs are up by 49 per cent, bread by 24 per cent, cheese by 35 per cent, and butter a staggering 58 per cent.

James Walton, chief economist at retail analysts IGD, tells the programme: “Over the last five years or so, the cost of living as measured by the Government’s favoured mechanism CPI has gone up by about 18 per cent.

Unfortunately the average wage has only gone up by about ten per cent, so you have got an eight percent shortfall.”

The programme says that according to a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, more than four million people in the UK are in food poverty – many have admitted to skipping meals altogether and going hungry.

From musicians, writers and artists to dangerous thinkers, political radicals and above all ordinary people, this is the story of London's immigrants, its bohemians and how together they changed the city forever.

Reaching back to the dawn of film in London at the start of the 20th century, the story unfolds through film archive. Using the voices of Londoners past and present and the flow of popular music across the century, the film creates a stream of urban consciousness, which comes to a finish as London prepares to welcome the world to the 2012 Olympics.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Channel 4, 18:55 Brad Pitt stars in his third movie under the direction of David Fincher; an adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's poignant romantic short story. In 1918, a boy is born who, despite his tiny size, more resembles an ancient, decrepit old man than a baby. When the child's mother dies shortly after the birth, the father, Thomas Button, abandons the infant to a nursing home.

The child grows up named Benjamin Button and, as he develops, it becomes clear that he has an extremely unusual genetic condition, which causes his appearance to become younger as the years pass, while his body grows at a normal rate. As a wizenedlooking Benjamin is about to enter his teens he first meets Daisy, who, after various twists of fate, is destined to become the love of his life. But, as he turns ever younger, while she ages at a normal pace, their romance inevitably faces some challenging problems.

Also starring Tilda Swinton and Julia Ormond, and featuring some impressive make-up and CGI effects.

In a three month partnership, PG tips branding will be visible on the mug used by Deal or No Deal’s main contestant via innovative technology that will embed the PG tips logo onto the mug.

This is the fifth in a string of high profile placement deals for both Channel 4 and for Endemol in 2012.

Tana Walker, PG tips Brand Executive at Unilever UK says:“ we are excited to be partnering with such a well-loved British show. The partnership with Deal or No Deal is a great way to communicate with our loyal customers and drive growth into the Tea category through encouraging late afternoon tea moments, when you can relax with a nice cuppa and some light-hearted TV entertainment after a busy day.”

Vicky Kell, Business Manager, Partnerships, Channel 4 said: “We’re delighted to announce this unique partnership between ourselves, Unilever, Endemol and MirriAd. It’s a groundbreaking combination of innovative technology, used on a scale never seen before on British TV, with one of Channel 4’s flagship shows. As usual, we’ll be investing in research to prove the effectiveness of the Placement, and look forward to adding this to our growing bank of PP examples.”

In the final episode, he heads to sun-soaked Provence, where he stages perhaps the most ambitious feast of the series. The local food and cuisine were a revelation to Raymond as a young boy, and remain a huge influence on his cooking today.

For inspiration, the girls visit a fashion museum, but the cultural differences between Travellers and Non-Travellers become all too apparent, and an event leaves the girls shocked and angry. As the girls' literacy and numeracy lessons draw to a close, Thelma discovers the incredible transformation in her trainees; how much the course has affected their lives and the dramatic progress in their education.

Thirteen Steps Down ITV1, 21.00 Thirteen Steps Down stars Geraldine James, Luke Treadaway, Elarica Gllacher, Anna CalderMarshall and Gemma Jones.

Mix Cellini (Luke Treadaway) is a young man with a disturbed past. Brought up by his mother, Mix was almost killed by his drunken step-father when, aged 6, he was accused of attempting to kill his little sister with a ketchup bottle.

Now aged 29, Mix rents the top floor of St. Blaise House, a dilapidated Notting Hill residence where Gwendolen Chaucer (Geraldine James) a lonely spinster now in her mid70s, has lived all her life, rarely venturing outdoors and looked after by the nearest thing to friends she has ever had - Olive and Queenie (Gemma Jones and Anna CalderMarshall) also both in their 70’s.

Attractive and with women easy prey to his charms, Mix has two compelling obsessions… the infamous serial killer of the 1940s and 50s, Reginald Christie of nearby 10 Rillington Place; and supermodel Nerissa Nash (Elarica Gallacher). The former… Mix studies at every opportunity, devouring information from books, magazines and the internet. The latter… he adores, idolises - and stalks!

Mix manages to tread a dangerous line between reality and fantasy but when part-time girlfriend, Danila Kovic criticises Nerissa, he becomes enraged, unleashing a long pentup violence from within.

With better luck and different circumstances Mix’s life may well have taken a more positive turn. Instead one heinous act compounds upon another and reality blends with fantasy, until Mix’s obsessions collide and his world implodes.

A story of loneliness… obsession… and superstition.

The Riots: In Their Own Words - Part 1 BBC 2, 21.10 Last summer, England suffered the worst riots in a generation, when five people lost their lives and thousands of businesses were attacked and looted. This series gives dramatic, first-hand accounts from those who were on the frontline – the rioters and the police.

Their testimony adds up to a unique insight into what happened and why.

Both episodes of The Riots: In Their Own Words were originally scheduled to be shown in July. Their broadcast was prevented by a Court Order made by a Judge presiding over a trial in Birmingham. Although neither film contained any reference to the incident at the centre of the trial, the BBC was unable to persuade the Judge to lift the order. The ruling stopped them being screened until a verdict was reached. That has now happened so the programmes can be shown.

Part one hears from the rioters themselves of how they brought chaos to our cities; looting our high streets and attacking the police. They also give their own explanations of why they caused such destruction last summer.

The film features the real words of rioters portrayed by actors. Much of what they say is shocking, but adds up to a unique insight into why our streets saw such violence The characters range from those who still feel proud of their arson and violence to those filled with regret after taking part in opportunist looting.

Nearly 300 people who took part in the riots gave interviews to the Reading Riots project, which aimed to find out what happened in the riots from those who took part. The stories portrayed in the first film come from these interviews. With powerful words and unseen archive, this is a new and compelling account of what happened and why.

W C C H O IC E Celebrity MasterChef BBC2, 18:30

Celebrity MasterChef returns, welcoming 16 familiar hopefuls to battle for the title of Celebrity MasterChef Champion. Episode one sees the first batch of celebrities undertake two tough culinary challenges in a bid to prove themselves to judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. The contestants are DJ and broadcaster Jamie Theakston, Neighbours actress Anne Charleston, singer Javine Hylton, and former Olympic swimmer Steve Parry. The first challenge for the four hopefuls is a mystery box test.

Contents include rice, black cabbage, beetroot, apple and the key ingredient: a whole gurnard. With nerves running high and just 50 minutes to cook their dish, the celebrities must think on their feet to impress the judges. But there's no time for complacency, as the contestants face their second challenge - a daunting skills test in which they are tasked with making pasta and pesto in ten minutes.

With the pressure on, the celebrities display some less-than-orthodox techniques.

The Colditz Story Channel 4, 13:20 Guy Hamilton's Second World War drama stars John Mills as Pat Reid, Eric Portman as Colonel Richmond, Lionel Jeffries as Harry Tyler and Christopher Rhodes as 'Mac' McGill: just some of the British prisoners of war gathered together in the supposedly escape-proof German prison camp Colditz. Naturally, they immediately begin to plan their escape.

His alter ego is a transvestite called Tracie Tremarco, who is gay, lonely and looking for love. But trawling Manchester’s bars dressed up to the nines has not produced a lasting or truly fulfilling relationship.

Then as fate would have it Tracie falls head over heels in love in unexpected circumstances, following an altercation with some blokes out on a stag night. One of the stag revellers, Tony (Stephen Graham) a satellite and aerial engineer, comes to Tracie’s aid and offers her a lift home.

Tony and Tracie are smitten and hesitatingly their love affair begins. But Tony has a secret too - he’s married to a local beautician, Karen (Rachel Leskovac), and he cares deeply for his wife. Before long Tracie becomes entangled in a triangular love affair that leads inexorably to a terrible crime of passion and the dock.

Simon Gaskall/Tracie Tremarco is played by Sean Bean, Tony is played by Stephen Graham and Karen is played by Rachel Leskovac.

W C C H O IC E Who Do You Think You Are? BBC1, 21:00

The celebrity genealogy series returns for its tenth series, delving into the ancestry of some of the UK's best-known faces. This episode features actress Samantha Womack, best known for playing Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders.

Sam's parents separated when she was young, and she grew up with only a fractured sense of her family history. Sam starts her journey by looking into the military career of her great grandfather, Alexander Cunningham Ryan, to discover whether the rumour that he was gassed during the First World War is true. However, the story quickly takes an astonishing turn as Sam discovers a puzzling discrepancy in Alexander's military record.

Restoration Home BBC2, 20:00 Caroline Quentin presents a series following the renovation of historic houses. In Tudor times the majority of houses were timber-framed, but only a few survive. Abbey Lane in Warwickshire is a forgotten gem. Believed to date from the early 16th century, this house is not formally protected as a listed building and when it was put on the market it was clear it needed a lot of work. Professional couple Sally and Stuart, who had been searching for their ideal family home, saw past the decay and bought it. The puzzle surrounding Abbey Lane is that its timber frame is unusually elm and not oak while other architectural features indicate that it was more than a family house. One thing is for certain, the condition of the timber skeleton is shockingly frail and half of the rear frame needs rebuilding. Costs slip and work stops. Will Sally and Stuart manage to turn Abbey Lane into their dream home?

Fifty shades of grey…

GREY is the new brown - as far as interior decorating is concerned!

For many years, people looking for a classy, understated colour scheme could opt for browns and creams, and then, as everyone knows by now, bringing in a pop of colour through cushions, pictures and decorative items.

This, of course, has the added advantage of being able to change this look at relatively low cost. Additionally, you are less likely to get tired of this type of set-up because it is based on neutrals.

However, as furniture has moved away from the classic woods and bamboos and towards more minimal lines,

generally in whites, blacks or even colours, so the neutrals need to be adjusted as well.

For this reason, we have had a sudden rush on grey sofas, with curtains and bedspreads in silver greys, or pastels and silver combined.

Grey has sometimes been considered a bit of a dull colour, and the word grey is often used to describe someone who is a bit understated and well, not very exciting (sorry, John Major).

But this is so not the case.

Grey has so many shades (more than 50 actually) that range from a dark charcoal, which is nearly black, through the whole spectrum, to silvers and crystal greys - basically whites with a grey tinge.

And this idea is being

used throughout the whole house; even synthetic rattan furniture, so popular for our terraces here (because of its resistance to water and intense sunlight) comes in graphite colour.

In curtains as well, there is a myriad of options, from sheer voiles with a silver sheen to sun-curtains, and tones of grey, combined with patterns in bright jewel colours, through to the softest pastels.

So if you are considering updating your property or, indeed, furnishing a room from scratch, make sure you consider grey - it can be far from boring.

Wait a minute, Gilly is just telling me there is a book of the same name. Let’s have a look …ooh I say! See you in two weeks.

Amazon’s amazing Kindle best-seller THE printed word is now rated second as far as online retailer Amazon.co.uk is concerned.

It now sells more Kindle books than those in print, according to figures just released by the internet company.

It began selling downloadable books in the UK two years ago, and is now moving 114 Kindle titles for every 100 print books.

The figures include both hardback and paperback, but do not include the Kindle titles which are available free.

Jorrit Van der Meulen, VicePresident of Kindle EU, says: “Customers in the UK are now choosing Kindle books more often than print books, even as our print business continues to grow.

“We hit this milestone in the United States less than four years after introducing Kindle, so to reach this landmark after just two years in the UK is remarkable. It shows how quickly UK readers are

their work with the millions of Kindle readers worldwide.”

The most popular author in the Kindle store so far this year is Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James, who has sold more than two million of the digital version in four months.

Rentals Feature

www.canarianweekly.com

By John Hatrick THE year was 2012.

Owners of tourist apartments on “Utopia Island” were closely monitoring the legal situation regarding the rental of their properties to tourists following years of systematic persecution by the tourist authorities.

Fear and uncertainty was rife. Everyone agreed that something had to be done about the “unfair” and “monopolistic” laws restricting how properties may be rented to tourists, but nobody appeared to have any real answers.

Meetings were held, plans were drawn up and action groups were formed.

Group leaders pushed their individual agendas, mostly borne out of ego or financial interest.

The common theme among all groups was to pressure the authorities into reviewing or changing the law, or to challenge the law through the courts.

However, the general consensus among the more influential members of the tourist industry and the community was that such action, in the short term, would be a complete waste of time.

The reality was that the supposedly-democratic government of Utopia Island had been fully aware of the overwhelming public majority who had been opposed to the rental laws for over a decade.

They were fully aware that a large percentage of owners already refused to use the “designated” sole agent and simply rented their properties out privately, or through an independent agent.

Tourist rental laws: is it fact or fiction?

They were fully aware that the majority of those owners didn’t declare a single Utopian-Dollar in income tax on those rentals for fear of coming up on the radar of the tourist inspectors.

Aware of the level of black-market rentals, the government of Utopia was forced to introduce a tax based upon a notional income of 2% return on each non-resident or second property in Utopia, regardless of whether the owner actually rented it out or not.

The government was aware that many properties were sitting empty for weeks at a time as owners adopted a low-key marketing strategy so as not to come up on the

radar.

They were aware that as a result, fewer tourists were visiting Utopia Island and were choosing other destinations.

They were aware that estate agents couldn’t sell properties in the tourist areas because potential buyers were being scared off by stories of owners receiving crippling fines from the authorities.

The government was aware of the huge loss to the taxman of the 6.5% transfer tax and government land registry fees on each of those potential property transactions.

They were also aware that dozens of livelihoods,

indirectly affected, included cleaners, handymen, builders, bar, restaurant and shop owners, taxi-drivers, supermarkets, estate agents, tourist attractions and parks.

Citizens of Utopia speculated as to why such an unfair, unworkable, undemocratic, and anticompetitive law had been forced upon them in the first place.

However, the reason no longer mattered.

After having largely turned a blind eye to “illegal” lettings for over a decade, the government had now begun to “rattle the sabre” by orchestrating an increase in the number of inspectors and their activities. Their

short-sighted approach was purely intended to raise revenue from issuing fines.

They clearly did not give a thought about how their actions would affect Utopia Island as a whole.

Despite making noises about possible amendments to the law, the government of Utopia Island clearly had no intentions of repealing or altering the law to the extent that owners could rent their own properties, independently of outside interference.

So what was it going to take to make them sit up and pay attention?

If the law could not be changed in the short term because the government was making the rules and holding all the cards, then property owners decided that the logical option was to force the government on to a different playing field.

The fundamental principle behind the law was that owners had to use a sole, designated rental agent.

Most owners calling for a change in the law simply wished to remove the requirement to use a sole agent and have freedom to choose how, where and for how much they rented their properties.

Rather than continue with futile protests, some property owners began to question why action was not simply taken to remove all the sole agents.

After some research, they discovered that this could be achieved with remarkable

ease. It was established that property owners - on any given complex – were, at their next AGM, entitled to demand a review and revote to decide whether the existing sole agent had the requisite majority approval of the owners to retain his or her licence.

With a modicum of education, support and rallying around, property owners began to educate and encourage other owners on their complexes to vote against the incumbent sole agent at the AGM and, thereby, ensure an outcome whereby no agent could demonstrate a majority.

The word spread and the movement soon gained momentum on the island.

By 2014, Utopia Island had legally removed all sole rental agents from office.

To the astonishment of the intransigent government and tourist inspectors, each tourist complex had rendered the existing law completely obsolete and unworkable.

However, the citizens of Utopia Island knew that removing the sole agents would only be the beginning of the path to change.

From that point onwards, it would be essential that they continued to work together and hold their nerve. *Read the final instalment of this intriguing tale next week John Hatrick of Tenerife Solicitors can be contacted on 922 717845 or by email at info@tenerifesolicitors.com

Beware the pitfalls of renting HOME-OWNERS renting their properties to holiday-makers are being warned that they could face huge fines unless they comply with Spanish law.

The British Embassy is aware of a number of cases where owners have been fined up to 30,000 euros for letting properties without the correct permits.

The Embassy published advice on Monday for homeowners who rent

out their properties, or are considering doing so, which can be found on the UKinSpain website.

Short-term lets Regulations for letting tourist apartments (apartamentos turísticos) and holiday homes (viviendas vacacionales) vary by region.

If you are planning to make a financial return by renting out your existing property, or buying one to let, you should seek independent legal advice, and check the local licensing laws with your local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento).

This is particularly important in Catalonia, the

10 August - 16 August 2012

Balearic Islands and Canary Islands, where the rental of holiday properties on a short-term basis is strictly regulated.

The authorities in these areas are cracking down on home-owners who rent out their properties to tourists (particularly through online adverts) without complying with Spanish law.

If you own or are planning to buy an apartment which is part of a Comunidad de Propietarios (Committees of property owners who are responsible for the management of communal areas of apartment buildings/

complexes), you should also check whether there are any rules that prohibit or restrict short-term letting.

Long-term lets: Owners who rent out properties on a long-term basis are generally not required to apply for a special licence. However, it is worth seeking professional advice to make sure that you are complying with Spanish legislation, and that you are using the correct rental contract.

There are different types of contracts, depending on how long the property is being let for, such as arriendos

de vivienda (a minimum of five years), and arriendos de temporada (for one year or less, generally). You can get copies of these contracts from tobacconists (estancos).

Taxes: Property owners should also be aware that whether or not they are resident in Spain, they will need to declare rental income to the Spanish tax authorities.

Home-owners may wish to seek advice from a professional tax adviser (asesor/gestor).

Managing a property rental: You may want to consider

hiring a Spanish letting agent to assist with finding tenants, drawing up rental contracts and managing the property on your behalf.

Cancer drugs may benefit from Dye-ing to be blonde! grapefruit juice CARL PATTISON

from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions

DRINKING grapefruit juice can give cancer drugs a dramatic boost, enabling patients, possibly, to lower their dose of medication while still getting the same benefits.

GET it right and it looks so good. Get it wrong and you could end up looking cheap and tacky … being blonde, that is.

It’s not just a case of putting on some bleach and hoping for the best because turning natural hair light requires skill, and an eye for colour and tone.

Looking at the skin’s natural depth and lightness – it’s all about blending the two together and ending up with an eye-pleasing result.

There’s no point trying to make this shade look natural if you are a very dark brown because it simply won’t work!

Check out my two photos.

The first is of Cameron Dias, and notice how the colour has multi-tones and works well with her natural skin tone.

It’s not too light, and when the re-growth comes through, she is not going to have screaming roots two weeks after her salon visit.

She has a mix of honey, gold and platinum strands running through her entire hair.

Okay, it is obvious that it’s not natural, but it works for her as it’s not too light, yet you can call her a BLONDE. Next to her, Kate Moss seems to have broken all the rules and gone far too light for her skin and hair tone.

One block colour on this type of hair rarely works because she is far too dark for this platinum tone, and it just gives a dry look to her fine hair.

She needs to tone things

Page 40

down a touch by mixing in some of her own natural colour - maybe some warmer tones, too, as she is naturally quite warm in her genuine shade.

There’s nothing worse than seeing hair that has been over-coloured. If you really want to be blonde, then there is a way to do it, but just don’t do overkill. Less is more, as I say about most things.

If you are thinking of going blonde, or changing the tone, try to think of the impact it will have, not only on

your hair but on your overall look as well. And if the wrong shade is used, it can add years to you and drain the colour from your face - and even your wardrobe may have to change!

All these factors need to be discussed with your stylist BEFORE anything touches your head, right down to maintenance and upkeep – and even the cost.

We use colour swatches in our salon to place against your face, so that you can see the effect of the shade you’re asking for.

On many occasions, clients ask for a colour and we show them the effect they are seeking. Quite often, it’s not what they had in mind.

This is why we are here: to listen, advise and guide you to the results you want.

So remember, being blonde shouldn’t be a chore. Get it wrong, though, and it could be a nightmare.

Grapefruit juice is known to inhibit enzymes in the intestine that break down certain drugs.

A small study, carried out by the University of Chicago’s Medical Centre, involved some 150 patients with incurable cancer drinking a daily 8oz glass of the juice, along with the anti-cancer drug sirolimus.

The findings, published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, showed that the

combination was as effective as three times the drug dose on its own.

This, experts said, could avoid side-effects associated with high doses, while also cutting costs.

Dr Ezra Cohen, from the University, said: “Grapefruit juice can significantly increase blood levels of many drugs, but this has long been considered an overdose hazard.

“Instead, we wanted to see if grapefruit juice could be used in a controlled fashion to increase the availability and efficacy of sirolimus.”

Liz Woolf, of Cancer Research UK, said: “These early results are interesting.

It showed the drug didn’t seem to cause unpleasant side-effects when taken with the juice, so it can be tested further.”

Although some participants had a response, tumours did not disappear after using the drug, which is mostly used to treat conditions unrelated to cancer.

However, about 30% of patients saw their condition stabilise for a time. And in one patient, who was taking grapefruit juice along with sirolimus, the tumour shrank - a response that lasted more than three years.

The researchers noted that Sirolimus (Rapamune) was not approved as a cancer drug. Its primary use is to prevent rejection after kidney transplants, and it is also used as a treatment for psoriasis.

But Professor Cohen said: “This has a wider application beyond sirolimus. This is a proof of principle that grapefruit juice could be used in this way.”

Good health’s such a massive pain for the younger breed WE are all gearing up for a summer of health and fitness, but a new survey puts a damper on these plans for some people.

London-based market research company Mintel reveals that for many youngsters, this may be more of a dream than reality as 34% of those aged 16-24 suffer from back pain.

They should be at the prime of their lives, but today, as many as one-third of all this age group are suffering. And

while the number is almost equal to the national average of 41%, incidence of back pain among young people is only slightly behind those aged 65 and over (38%).

Back pain peaks in the 55-64 age bracket, - one in two Brits are afflicted in this way - while the number is slightly higher among women (45%) than men (38%).

Michelle Strutton, Mintel’s Head of Household and OTC Healthcare, said: “The figure for Britain’s youngsters is pretty alarming. Too much time sitting weakens muscle tone, and this can lead to the problem.

Many young Brits lead a sedentary lifestyle, spending hours at a time slumped in front of TV and computer screens, and lack of sport may well be contributing to poor posture as well.”

She added: “Back pain is becoming one of society’s main issues, and it accounts for a high proportion of reasons for taking sick leave.

“Pain-relief medications could offer links to advice websites which offer suggestions about posture, exercises or therapies, showing consumers that they want to take a role in pain prevention as well as relief.”

But it seems that bad backs are not the only health problems among young Brits because headaches are also a major source of pain.

While as many as 61% of those aged 16-24 get headaches, this drops by half in the 65-and-over group.

The younger age group are also most likely to catch a cold or flu (74%) compared with an average of 69% of Brits overall.

Sore throats come out at 66%, against an average of 54% and, finally, a cough (60%) opposed to an average of 53%.

And it is not just Britain’s young who are suffering; it seems that the nation’s women are suffering more than their fair share of pain.

Clue to upstanding citizens! moving from sitting to standing, and then standing on one leg.

Researchers, whose findings are published online in the British Medical Journal, found less than 10% of older people engaged in strength training.

They compared their programme with a structured exercise plan performed three times a week using ankle weights and gentle, mock exercises.

Compared to people in this programme, LiFE participants showed improvements in static and dynamic balance, and a significant reduction in the rate of falls.

Professor Lindy Clemson, a specialist in the problems of ageing, said: “LiFE is a tailored programme of embedded balance and strength activities.

“Falling in older age has debilitating and isolating consequences. It is imperative to develop effective strategies for prevention.”

The most common of

IT stands to reason as far as I’m concerned but, nevertheless, a survey carried out among the elderly in Australia shows that the fitter they are, the less likely they are to fall over!

The study found that of the 300-plus over-70s taking part in a course to improve balance and strength, 31% suffered fewer accidents.

Falls are estimated to cost England’s National Health Service up to £4.6million a day, with up to one in three over-65s stumbling at least one a year. These tumbles are a major cause of injury and death among the oldies, accounting for more than half of hospital admissions for accidental injury.

The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise programme, developed by Sydney University, provides daily training routines such as walking and stepping over objects, as well as

LIFTING weights can significantly reduce the risk of men developing diabetes by up to 34%.

And adding aerobic exercise to regular weight-training, such as brisk walking or running, can lead to even greater benefits, according to new research.

Scientists analysed data on 32,000 Americans taking part in the Health Professionals’ Follow-Up Study, which looked at lifestyle effects on health.

Information on how much time the men spent working out in gyms, and taking aerobic exercise, was collected from questionnaires.

During the study period, from 1990 to 2008, some 2,278 participants developed Type 2 diabetes. The findings showed that even modest amounts of weight-training could reduce diabetes risk.

Participants were categorised according to whether they did between 1-59 minutes, 60-149 minutes, or at least 150 minutes of weight-training a week.

Pumping iron reduced the risk of diabetes by 12%, 25% and 34% respectively,

these injuries sustained among the elderly in England is a hip fracture, which affects 60,000 a year. And, tragically, around 14,000 die annually as a result of falling over.

Michelle Mitchell, of Age UK, said: “We encourage older people to integrate exercises into everyday routine.”

How to stay upright *Strengthen legs: Use own body weight, a resistance band or ankle weights to build up limbs *Sit to stand: Sit on a chair, place your feet slightly behind your knees and slowly stand up. Then slowly sit back down. *Stand on one leg: Transferring weight from one leg to the other will challenge your balance *Heel/toe raises: Hold on to a chair for support and repeat 10 times *Regular tests: Have your sight tested and, if you’ve had a fall, ask your GP for a risk assessment. Go to www. ageuk.org.uk or call Age UK Advice on 0800 169 6565

Pumping iron could be male solution to ward off diabetes compared with no training.

The most active men, who did more than 150 minutes of aerobics as well as at least 150 minutes of weight-training weekly, cut their risk by 59%.

Lead scientist Anders Grontved, from the University of Southern Denmark, who is seconded to America’s Harvard University, said: “Previous studies reported that aerobic exercise was of major importance for Type 2 diabetes prevention.

“But many people have

10 August - 16 August 2012

difficulty engaging in, or adhering to, aerobic exercise.

These new results suggest that weight-training, to a large extent, can serve as an alternative to aerobic exercise for Type 2 diabetes prevention.”

Type 2 diabetes, which is closely linked to obesity and lifestyle, occurs when the body stops responding to the blood sugar regulating hormone insulin.

An estimated 346 million people worldwide have the disease.

The number of diabetesrelated deaths is expected to double between 2005 and 2030, according to the World Health Organisation.

More than two million people are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in the UK. About a million more are thought to have the disease

without knowing it. These new findings are published in the latest online issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

Leeds Bradford Airport expands into Summer 2013 THOMSON and First Choice have announced that in Summer 2013 they will be doubling capacity at Leeds Bradford Airport through the introduction of four brand new routes to Menorca, Ibiza, Rhodes, Tenerife and the addition of another weekly flight for existing Mallorca and Turkey routes.

This follows the launch earlier this year of exclusive routes from Leeds Bradford to Sharm El Sheikh and Tunisia.

The move to introduce these routes is part of the UK’s largest tour operator’s strategy to ensure customers across the UK can fly from their local airport and stay at the best hotels in some of the most exciting destinations.

Not only will customers from Yorkshire be able to fly to far flung destinations, but they will also have the opportunity to choose varying durations - not just the standard seven and 14 night stays. The changes also mean that Thomson and First Choice will be the

only tour operator flying customers to Sharm El Sheikh and Tunisia from Leeds/Bradford in Summer 2013; and Thomson Cruises will be operating the largest flight/cruise programme out of the airport to Majorca, Corfu and Turkey.

Paul Cooper, Airport Negotiations Manager for Thomson and First Choice, said of the move: “Doubling capacity at Leeds Bradford Airport demonstrates our continued commitment to the Yorkshire region and following the success of our expanded programme announced earlier in the year at the airport, we know that the demand is there.

“Modernising our operations across the UK is a key part of our overall strategy and this move is definitely a step in the right direction towards creating an enhanced holiday experience for our customers.”

Tony Hallwood, Marketing Director of Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “LBA is delighted to see the widening of holiday choice for both Thomson and First Choice in summer 2013 from West Yorkshire. With a total of 10 exciting destinations now on offer from the UK’s largest tour operator, holidaymakers can now fly conveniently from their local airport.”

Walking App A NEW walking App has been launched in the UK by the AA. Through your smart phone it enables you to quickly select walks from the pins on the map and check the suitability for you and your family with a summary showing distance, estimated time, difficulty and typical landscape. Make the most of your walk with detailed descriptions, step by step directions and what to look out for on the way.

Page 44

The App is free, however you can choose to purchase the optional Ordnance Survey map and GPS route for your chosen walk turning your iPhone into outdoor GPS simply following the route on-screen. For extra convenience the Ordnance Survey maps are downloaded to your phone so you can even use them ‘offline’ if you lose phone signal.

considerable increase in the Russian and Eastern European markets, as well as the French in 2011.”

However Dolado expressed his concern for this month in terms of occupancy levels and estimates numbers will fall with respect to last year as a result of the recuperation of certain North African destinations.

Last month, the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas unveiled its brand new multi-billion dollar Terminal 3 which replaced the tired looking Terminal 2. The state-of-the-art international terminal took five years to build at a cost of $2.4 billion.

The building is nearly two million square feet, and will offer the latest technology at check-in, creature comforts for passengers including a spa and several dining options, and almost 300 slot machines.

BMW’s super-smooth hybrid out to attract overseas market

UNTIL recently, “hybrid” was a relatively alien word to most people and not just motorists.

Today, though, hybrid power has become as well known to drivers as petrol and diesel-engined cars.

But as they have become more popular, the concept of what a hybrid is and what it does has been stretched somewhat.

Today’s hybrids are not necessarily the most fuelefficient model in any particular range, yet they have become a genuine, alternative means of power as more and more

manufacturers introduce them.

Curiously, considering the popularity of their mainstream machines, BMW are one of the latest car manufacturers to introduce hybrids to their range with this new 3-Series Activehybrid.

It’s a surprising move because BMW’s turbo-diesel engines in the 320d and 330d are class-leading - and some of the best and most efficient diesel cars on the road.

But there’s a reason behind their petrol-electric hybrid, which cannot hope to match those diesels for economy.

Other global markets such as the US and China, where diesels do not have the same popularity as in Europe, buyers still want improved

fuel economy. BMW’s turbodiesel engines in the 320d and 330d are class-leading, and boast some of the best and most efficient diesel cars on the road This Activehybrid version of the 3-Series saloon follows on from a similar version of the 5-Series, and it is identical, mechanically, to its larger brother.

It features petrol, turbocharged 3.0-litre engine which, with a 40kw electric motor, produces a substantial 340bhp, linked to an eightspeed automatic gearbox.

The 3-Series will race from 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds, and on to a 155mph top speed, while returning average fuel economy of 47.9mpg.

To put those figures in perspective, the flagship

335i model is only marginally slower - 60mph at 5.5secs - yet can manage only a 35.8mpg average and has 186g/km emissions.

The 320d is slower but can offers 61.4mpg, though the 330d will give the Activehybrid more of a run for its money.

But BMW’s hybrid technology is clever. Not only can you drive it solely on battery power for 2.4 miles at up to 37mph, but the electric motor can also be used to provide a boost function.

Additionally, that helps put the 3-Series into coasting mode, which does away with any engine braking and helps you travel further when cruising at faster speeds.

Even cleverer is BMW’s

energy-management system, which uses the sat-nav to read the road ahead for potential places to regenerate the batteries - for instance, a downhill section.

On the road, you can switch the 3-Series between Eco-Pro modes for the best possible fuel economy, or Sport modes where, as the name suggests, it uses petrol and electric power for maximum performance.

That performance is impressive and this really is a rapid car, not just from a standing start but particularly mid-range, such as when overtaking.

Although the Sport mode is noticeably faster to react to any input from your right foot, the Eco-Pro mode impresses most. Unlike many

hybrids, for instance, it is surprisingly easy to keep the car in electric mode when pulling away from a junction, or at low speed.

Press the pedal a little harder and the engine cuts in so quietly that you hardly notice it. That seamless switch is not unusual among most hybrid-powered cars.

What sets the 3-Series apart, though, is its high levels of refinement, which are superb.

And this, ultimately, is what will attract buyers to the 3-Series Activehybrid.

True, with a starting price of £40,225 (50,836 euros), it is not cheap compared with the likes of the 335.

This is an excellent, groundbreaking hybrid machine deserves wide recognition and it may just get it!

Mini in the fast lane with their Olympic Rocketman MINI’S Team GB-inspired Rocketman concept has proved to be of gold-medal standard with visitors to London’s Olympic Park.

This special, patriotic, mini MINI is a 3+1 seater with a host of unique touches, including a red, white and blue colour scheme and a glass roof with illuminated braces, which create the

10 August - 16 August 2012

look of a Union Jack. The body is made from carbonfibre reinforced plastic and features exposed carbon parts at the front and the doors. Inside, the Union Jackstyle, part-leather seats leave you in no doubt as to what team MINI are supporting.

Even more striking is the trim on the lower dashboard and doors, which features the names of all the cities which have hosted the Olympics, and the centre console, which is claimed

to resemble a basketball court. Will the Rocketman reach production? Making a cost-effective platform is the key. At present, there are no cars in the BMW portfolio which could feasibly share a platform with the mini MINI, making it too expensive to develop.

But it hasn’t been ruled out completely. A spokesman for the car-maker said: “As long as we are doing concepts like this, there is always a glimmer of hope.”

THE Oasis Fm Pool League is underway for another season, with a new format.

Matches are singles only and best-of-12 frames, and this system led to some thrilling opening-night contests, and some battered male egos.

Division One new boys Peacocks A went in search of

Girl Power rules, for openers an early scalp as they hosted former champions Palms A. They started well, racing to a 4-0 lead.

One of the changes for this year allows the captains a bit

of tactical leeway. Line-ups are revealed every four frames only, and Palms A used this to their advantage.

They roared back into

contention and fancied their chances of a win at 5-5, but the hosts held firm to take the 11th frame - and the final frame was a cautious affair.

There was a good-size crowd watching the action as this writer sunk the final black to earn the draw for Palms A.

Les, man of the match, defeated James, only for Neil to beat Geoff in the battle of the captains to secure a draw.

Just around the corner, there was another thriller as La Cana hosted Hammers C. It was nip and tuck all night, until captain Wiggins beat Carl to give the Hammers the spoils.

Medina makes his mark QUIQUE MEDINA, CD Tenerife’s director of football, has got to be one of the busiest men in football at the moment.

Hardly a day goes past without some sort of transfer shenanigans. As we reported last week, he is working overtime to overhaul the squad in time for the big kickoff against CD Marino in a fortnight.

The budget is watertight and he is, literally, robbing Pedro to pay Pablo. As we know, Omar has joined Valladolid, and I’m genuinely pleased that the local lad will be in La Liga next season.

He was always a fine prospect, and it’s easy to forget that he was an Under-21 international just a few years ago.

The winger leaves on a free, which will seem strange to us Brits. He should have commanded a fee, yet he has in a way. Under their terms of his contract, he was entitled to a large pay-off, which he has written off.

And if newspaper reports are to believed, then Tenerife will save 600,000 euros in wages over the next two years.

His departure, coupled with Brimah Razak’s contract termination, gives Medina funds for two more senior players. The likeable keeper has agreed to leave in a remarkable gesture.

He has nothing lined up, yet such is his love for the club, the fans and the Island that he has put himself second.

“I consider myself a Chicharrero,” he said. “My child is still very young and I didn’t want to leave. My family love it here, but I understand the situation.

“I firmly believe that we will go up this season, and I am really sad to be going. But there is nothing more I can do. I hope to find a side soon, and my agent is working hard.

But at the moment, there is nothing.”

He will be replaced by B team keeper Roberto Gutierrez. It’s a gamble as first-choice keeper Sergio Aragoneses does like a red card!

But it’s a chance for Roberto to make his mark, and he is delighted: “I have received this great opportunity, and I want to thank all who have contributed to my being in this great team,” he said, “It is the dream I have always had, and I will try to do my best when the opportunity presents itself.”

The big signings so far sees the return of former CDT players Suso Santana and Cristobal Martin after a few years away.

Suso’s capture is quite a coup. He has spent the last few seasons starring for Hearts in the Scottish Premier League. He has scored against the Auld Firm sides and has a Scottish Cup-winners medal.

He has always been keen to return, but the fact that he is willing to drop down to this standard shows the level of the coup.

Suso has grown up, is now a father and should be the talisman and focal point of the side, especially since the retirement of Pablo Sicilia.

But will he get the captain’s armband?

Cristo Martin is back after a great season at CD Marino.

To be honest, he wasn’t even close to being good enough for Tenerife when he left. But again, he is older, wiser and comfortable in his footballing skin.

He was the inspiration behind Marino’s promotion and is a good signing. He should take the step-up in his stride.

10 August - 16 August 2012

Martin will be joined in midfield by Luismi Loro, who has signed permanently. Loro did okay on loan from Elche, and he has taken a big pay drop to stay.

By his own admission, he was not fully fit last year, which explains his form tailing off.

He played 19 games and is class at this standard.

“I’m delighted to be here for another year,” he said. “I have faith that we can achieve our aim of promotion.”

Young whiz-kid Josmar Zambrano is back in favour and back in the squad. It’s make-or-break for him this year, but fans will be delighted that he is going to get his chance.

David Medina is another player who has been inked in for another shot at promotion.

He has also taken a wage cut and has signed for another two years.

He started last season as captain, got injured and lost his place, but regained it later in the year. His experience will be vital in central defence.

He will be joined in the heart of defence by Tarantino, who has agreed a one-year deal.

Not always the most reliable of players, he is still the man for the shirt.

In attack, Tenerife are still a player or two short. They are strongly linked with Borja Perez, who has left Alcorcon.

Make no mistake - he would be the best striker in the league, but he is a wanted man.

Half-a-dozen clubs are

chasing him, but CDT are in the mix. He spoke favourably when asked about a possible Santa Cruz move and, with

Omar gone, the money is there. Quique Medina has promised at least two more players in the next week - and

after this week’s friendly with Las Palmas, it’s plain to see how much reinforcements are needed.

Sure it was just a friendly, and yes, Las Palmas are a league above, but they LOOKED a different class.

The goal-less draw looks good and there are positives.

Oh, and I have seen worse bets than 9/1 on Las Palmas going up. They look solid.

Finally, I’m sure most fans will want to say a big thank-you to former player Jose Antonio Culebras. The well-liked centre back has terminated his contract at Numancia and retired.

In a tearful press conference, he explained that he wanted to be there for his soon-to-be born twins.

He was a massive factor in Tenerife’s promotion to La Liga a few years back and always did his best. We still miss him.

Horoscopes of the week Leo

Edinburgh

(July 24th - August 23rd) Friends may not be the allies they seem as you seek a change which, you thought, would meet their approval and backing. Now, though, you have discovered they do not agree with it. How can you talk them round? Just let them know that it is your dream and not theirs which you are following.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) This is likely to be one week you won’t forget in a hurry as you start to find out that your hopes are far closer to reality than you had thought. Gambles in business also pay off in your favour if you stick to old contacts because your instincts will serve you well.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) This is set to be a happy time for matters of affection and, despite the problems which may arise in material affairs, you may feel quite romantic and ready to make up with someone you have fallen out with.

But don’t be sure about new people until you have given them a week to really show you what they’re all about SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Monetary matters have not been well starred as the oppositions have affected your efforts and have wasted both your time and your energy. That is not the case this week, though, because with the backing of the planets, you can make up for all that lost time and really get to work on getting out of the red and back in the black.

S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) This is one of those weeks which will seem quite dull from the outset, but will turn out to be one of the most enjoyable you’ve had in months. Just don’t tell too many

Page 48

people your secret as it will come back on you. Finishing projects you started will help you to get back on track with a professional person you have not been seeing eye to eye with these past two months.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Personal plans and wishes may continue to meet with opposition. Family affairs are likely to be difficult. Use tact with superiors.

It can make all the difference for them to see you as ambitious rather than arrogant.

Just remember not to tell more lies on top of the ones you have already told.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Weekend activities which include relatives or close friends should be really pleasant. Home or family matters may contain problems, but they are all solvable if you let the fights which don’t concern you play out between those involved. Aspects suggest you can’t possibly know all of the details.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) There was a time when you thought you could live with things the way they were, but that is no longer the case.

Will close ones be shocked by what you say and do? Yes they will, especially with the way you have been towing the line of late. New friends prove to have lucrative contacts for you in your career.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Your home, family and base of operations are likely

Quiz

to engage your attention and require more time than usual during the week. It is advisable to get your more important plans completed before Wednesday, when people are likely to be more congenial and co-operative.

Don’t bad-mouth an ex or he/she will do the same to you.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Any changes which are necessary in your family will have a better opportunity to be sealed shortly. However, you should not expect too much success in carrying out your own desires over the week as you may run into opposition. So be prepared to do your own work on the road to success – at least for now.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Be willing to compromise with the opposition and allow matters to take their course without you becoming impatient or resentful.

Everything will work out in good time, so try to show patience. It’s your key to getting those you want and need on board in your future. Dress well on Sunday, when first impressions will count for everything.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Your vitality has been a little lower, and worry can be the cause of difficulty. It may take more effort to get your work done, so make sure you accept if others are willing to help you out. The stubborn streak in you can be your worst enemy at times, but nights out to new places puts the spring back in your step.
