Fast and Furious! IT’S fast, it’s furious… and it’s happening here in Tenerife from next week. Universal will begin filming Fast and Furious 6 (Fast 6) here until the end of October and the groundwork has already been laid. The sixth film in the hugelypopular Fast and Furious series was to have been shot partly in Marseille, but it relocated to Tenerife to take advantage of the preferential tax rates, which will save an estimated 20 million US dollars on production costs. Tenerife has special dispensation and has a ZEC business zone, which means that the Island has the lowest legal corporation tax rate in Europe at only 4%, which is a great incentive for businesses. The action-packed Fast 6 is written by American Chris Morgan, directed by Justin Lin. Neal H Moritz, Clayton Townsend and the star, Vin Diesel, are the producers. The cast again includes Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, a professional criminal, street-
racer and fugitive, together with Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, a former FBI agent turned criminal. He is in a relationship with Mia Toretto played by Jordana Brewster. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), as Luke Hobbs, a Diplomatic Security Service agent. Michelle Rodriguez, as Leticia Ortiz. Dominic's former girlfriend. Filming began on 30th July at the renowned Shepperton Studios, Surrey, which is part of the Pinewood Studios group. The cast and crew are currently on location in Glasgow, before travelling to Tenerife. Stunt and car-chase scenes began filming there on 29th August. Fast 6 will be slightly different from the preceding films, with the theme moving away from the notorious street-racing towards a heist film with car chases. The reason for the change is that the racing aspect had put a “ceiling” on the number of people willing to see the films and, by turning it into a series where car-driving ability is just one aspect of the film, Universal hopes it will increase audience numbers.
The cars are the stars as all-action film-makers are coming to Tenerife The off-screen action began on Tuesday when 97 vehicles were unloaded at Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The vehicles including luxury trailers, tanks, Nissan GT-Rs, Dodge Viper’s, a Dodge Charger and modified Chevrolet Camaros were transported by Grua trucks to a secret location in the south of Tenerife. The vehicles, including an array of super cars were shipped in on the Suar Vigo from the Netherlands. On his Twitter account, Director Justin Lin said yesterday “Been staring at a bunch of new cars, for the film and I have one question – where do teens have sex nowadays? Long live the #benchseat! The Tenerife shoot’s location is a highly-guarded secret. Mystery surrounds the specific date and location of filming, plus exactly how long the Fast 6 entourage will be here, but it’s
thought more than 400 people will be involved, with locations across the island. Universal Pictures says it will try to capture “the best moments of the film in the incredible landscapes of Tenerife.” Rumours abound,. Many say the reason that the TF1 is currently being resurfaced is because it’s to be used for filming. Others say that the majority of the action will be shot on the insular ring road connecting the north and south
of the island which is still under construction - an ideal location. The Tenerife Film Commission would not be drawn on the matter of locations. Indeed, the high performance athletics centre in Tincer, in the north of the island is thought to be a favourite. The film is scheduled for release on the 24th May 2013. Hundreds of would-be extras queued outside the Iberostar Mencey hotel, Santa Cruz, in Wednesday’s scorching sun, all hoping for a spot in the film. Selection for dark-skinned people of all ages began at 3pm and carried on until 7.30pm. In recent years, the varied landscape of Tenerife has become a highly coveted
value for large American film productions, such as the films Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans . Tenerife Cabildo Minister for Tourism, Carlos Alonso said that “the benefits to the Island with a production like this are not just promotional. Appearing in the film will be some of the most striking Tenerife environments, but also economically, thanks to revenue from accommodation, transfers and meals etc which will amount to several million euros.“ All photos reprinted with kind permission of

Rajoy – Merkel: have a meeting at La Moncloa Government of Spain and called for more Europe not only in economic affairs but also in political and social affairs. Hans-Peter Keitel, President of the German Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie, stressed the importance of a common response to the economic crisis and expressed his confidence in that Greece will remain in the European Union. After the one o’clock meeting Merkel said ‘I have full confidence in the President of the Spanish Government’ and that she is ‘impressed by the intensity of Rajoy’s reforms. It was the first meeting after the 90 minute meeting onboard a boat in Chicago
The Spanish-German Business Conference began at Moncloa Palace first thing on Thursday morning. The Minister for Economic Affairs and Competition, Luis de Guindos, defended Spain as a sustainable economy because it has the potential for growth in the medium and long term, and because its public finances are being turned around. This event preceded a meeting between the President of the Government of Spain, Mariano Rajoy, and the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, at one o’clock on yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. The core focus of the conference is to analyse the context surrounding the Spanish and European economy, its strengths, weaknesses and the reforms currently being put in place. It will also be used to analyse the contribution being made by Spain to resolving the current single currency crisis, improve Spain’s image as a platform for German and other overseas investment in general, and analyse the importance of R&D+i and training in processes intended to improve the socio-economic fabric and business competitiveness. At the opening ceremony of the conference, which was attended by more than one hundred business Spanish families and businesses are braced for the impact of a hike in the value-added tax rate at a time when the country has already slipped back into recession for the second time in three years. As of September 1st, the standard rate moved from 18 to 21 per cent and the reduced rate from eight to 10 per cent. The super-reduced rate for essential goods such as milk, bread, eggs, vegetables, fruit and medicines remains at four per cent. However, some products and services have been moved from the reduced category to the standard one, meaning a 13-percentagepoint hike in the tax rate is applied. This will hit, for example, hairdressing salons, florists and funeral services, making even the cost of
last May, and Rajoy gave an undertaking to the German chancellor that he will continue with the ‘effort’ of the reforms. Rajoy told Merkel that when there is new development he would tell her and she said, ‘I have full confidence in the President of the Spanish Government’. During the press conference, and in the presence of Rajoy, Angela Merkel said that she had respected ‘the independence of the ECB’, but she affirmed that the priority was to ‘restore confidence in the Euro as a whole, and to have the confidence that countries are going to meet their undertakings’.
Cocaine seized at sea leaders, the Spanish Minister for Economic Affairs and Competition, Luis de Guindos, underlined how important it is for Spain to have a partner such as Germany. The minister summarised the main reforms approved by the Government and spoke briefly about those the Government will be promoting in the near future, including a market unity act, changes to supervisory bodies, the deregulation of professional services and the promotion
of alternative sources of financing for SMEs. Luis de Guindos mentioned the period of difficulty being experienced by the Spanish economy, explained the root causes of the crisis and defended the fact that, despite these difficulties, the Spanish economy is sustainable because it has the potential to grow in the medium and long term and because its public accounts are being “turned around”. He recalled that, in economic terms, Spain is doing now what Germany
did ten years ago when it adopted measures to improve the labour market and competitiveness, and to resolve its financial problems at the time. The opening ceremony of the Business Conference also included speeches from leading representatives of both German and Spanish business organisations. Joan Rosell, from the Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations (Spanish acronym: CEOE), expressed support for the measures being implemented by the
THE National Police working with the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency together with the Guardia Civil and Spanish Navy have intercepted two yachts in Spanish waters. The two yachts were found to be carrying more than 500 kilos of cocaine. Two teams of police Special Operations Group personnel boarded the boats, one of which was evidently the “mother ship,” where the drug was found, and the other was a support vessel, to ferry the cocaine to the coast. The Government Delegation in the Canaries
said that both boats were boarded simultaneously and as a result of the assault, police managed to break up the maritime infrastructure of a Bulgarian drug trafficking operation. It is thought that there was another vessel which was to have taken the cocaine to the Spanish coast. It’s the second large operation against drug traffickers on the high seas in less than 2 weeks. A few days ago 100 bales of hashish, weighing more than 3,000 kilos, was intercepted on a merchant vessel 50 miles from Cádiz.
Tax hikes hit home
dying more expensive. A number of chain stores have said they plan to absorb the increase rather than pass it on to their customers at a time when consumer spending has already been badly hit by the economic crisis, with a quarter of the working population out of a job. Some small retailers have also indicated they won’t be putting up their prices, but will have to make adjustments elsewhere in order to do so. Supermarket chain Mercadona, Spain’s largest retail distributor by sales, has denied it has already put
07 September - 13 September 2012
up prices to compensate for the VAT hike, which it says it will absorb. Global fashion retailers Inditex, H&M and Mango have also decided to maintain current prices. Furniture giant IKEA will maintain the prices of about 65 per cent of its products. Department store chain El Corte Inglés has yet to reveal how it plans to play the tax hike. Consumer protection organizations claim the decision of retailers to maintain prices is a marketing ploy and that the VAT hike will eventually be passed on to customers. The CEACCU consumer organization
estimates the VAT hike will add 600 euros a year to the cost of maintaining a household, while the Consumers and Users Organization (OCU) calculates that a family with four members will have to spend 470 euros more a year. Households will also be hit by a double whammy as the VAT hike hit before the new school year starts. The OCU estimates the VAT increase will add 640 euros to the cost of each child per year in the shape of higher prices for transportation and school dinners. The tax hike for the hostelry sector was raised from eight to 10 percent, although a
number of bar and restaurant owners already suffering from weak demand because of the crisis will not pass on the increase. “There are restaurant owners who have been suffering from the crisis for years, and it will be difficult for them not to transfer the increase to their customers,” says Emilio Gallego, the secretary general of the Spanish Hostelry Federation. “However, others will be able to adjust what they offer and absorb the hike.” The hotel trade is also gearing itself for the impact of the hike. “We are in the grip of a collective psychosis because there doesn’t seem
to be any bottom to the thing,” says Antonio Catalán, the chairman of AC Hotels by Marriott. “We are in the most complicated moment to introduce a hike, which is always the easy solution for the politicians, but a disaster.” Tourism, a key sector for the Spanish economy, is quaking at the possible fallout from the hike. Travel agencies will have to absorb the increase for package holidays that have already been booked. “You can’t penalise the main industry in the country,” the chairman of the Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies, Rafael Gallego, complains.

A RYANAIR flight that departed from Leeds-Bradford Airport in early September was required to request permission to land in front of other waiting planes at Lanzarote’s Arrecife airport because it was low on fuel, a spokesman for the public airport authority AENA announced. The incident comes shortly after a government probe was launched into the lowcost airline for possible breaches of fuel-load safety requirements.
It is believed that the air control staff requested that all aircraft with scheduled landings around 4pm circle Lanzarote because, due to poor weather conditions, a rescheduling of landings was required. At which point the captain of the Ryanair plane requested priority from the tower, stating his craft was “very light on fuel.” The request was authorised and the aircraft jumped to the front of the four airplanes waiting. The others, according to Las
Palmas based newspaper La Provincia, were a Thomson flight from London Gatwick, a Condor from Frankfurt and another Ryanair that departed Bologna. The controversial airline, previously criticised for obliging its pilots to take on the minimum amount of fuel possible to save money, has been in the news in recent weeks after three of its aircraft were required to perform emergency landings in Valencia on July 26th due to an alleged
shortage of fuel, with an investigation by the Spanish Public Works Ministry currently pending. The Irish company has however released a statement saying that the Lanzarote landing request was due to the dangerous weather conditions, rather than a lack of fuel, and sources have told Spanish news agency Efe that this was not treated as an emergency landing request, rather just a solicitation for priority.
Bank bail out sees further delays IT WAS back at the end of July when the Economy Ministry announced that “in a question of days, or at the most weeks,” 30 billion euros of emergency funds would be transferred to Spain from Brussels. The money was to form the first part of the European bailout of Spain’s banks, with a total of 100 billion euros due to be used to recapitalise the country’s stricken lenders. The majority of the money was destined for Bankia, which has requested 19 billion euros of assistance. But the announced dates have come and gone, and the check has not arrived. Sources from the European Union have explained that
the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission were unwilling to release the funds because they would rather not touch the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the special purpose vehicle set up to deal with the sovereign debt crisis. What’s more, they believe that more detail is needed first about the needs of Spain’s banks. The Spanish government sent Brussels the plans for the four lenders that had been nationalized: Bankia, CatalunyaCaixa, Novagalicia Banco and Banco de Valencia. But Brussels has decided that it would rather wait for the analysis of the entire sector that is currently being carried out by the consultancy firm Oliver Wyman, which will be released at the end of September. The EU has also questioned the amount that has been requested by Spain, because
it believes that the creation of a so-called “bad bank” will alter the situation of the Spanish lenders, given that it will take on a large part of their problematic toxic real-estate assets. The EU is likely to wait until the end of November to clear up the details of exactly how much the banks need. At the end of July, Bankia, which urgently needs an injection of capital, presented its results, with losses of 4.448 billion euros up until June. This hole in its balance sheet has left the bank with less than the minimum capital requirements. Given the situation, the government has opted for a Plan B, and has gone to the Orderly Bank Restructuring Fund (FROB), which is run by the Bank of Spain and the Economy Ministry. The FROB has announced that it will inject 4.5 billion into BFA-
Bankia so that it recovers its solvency levels. This money is considered a “bridging recapitalisation,” an advance of the money that Bankia will get from Brussels. Once the EU has transferred the rescue funds, the FROB will get back what it is putting into the lender. Until now the FROB has had assets of 4.139 billion euros, but sources with knowledge of the matter say that it has sufficient resources to loan a greater amount without financial problems. According to the Economy Ministry, there have been no serious disagreements with Brussels, as was clear from a statement released by the Eurogroup. The group, which is made up of the finance ministers of the euro zone, said that it was in favour of the FROB’s plan to make the immediate injection of capital into BFA-Bankia ahead of the EU assistance.

Stingray births at Loro Parque
LORO PARQUE is once again celebrating some new arrivals, following the birth of five baby stingrays, (Dasyatis Americana,) in the park’s aquarium facilities. This is a major milestone for the breeding programme of this species, as breeding success indicates that these
animals enjoy belonging to the family of sharks in the aquarium facilities, with more than 1,200,000 litres of sea water coming directly from the Atlantic Ocean. With these five youngsters, Loro Parque now has a group of 16 stingrays, including seven males and nine females, all living in the exhibition dedicated to the Caribbean ecosystem, the place these animals inhabit. Rays have a flat, diamond shaped body and usually stay
07 September - 13 September 2012
several hours buried in sandy sea beds. Their gestation period is five months. They also stand out for having a poison dart in their tails to ward off predators, but “Are docile if treated well and fed by hand, especially at somewhere like Loro Parque, where they can develop a very good feeling with caregivers,“ says Aquarium Curator, Xoán Domínguez. Among their favourite foods are molluscs in large quantities, such as mussels,
clams, razor clams, as well as blue fish, squid and prawns, a rich and varied menu that ensures the healthy and gradual growth of these young ones. In Europe there are about 60 stingrays in zoos, of which only three have managed to reproduce this species in captivity. It is estimated that around 70 million sharks are killed each year due to human activities such as over-fishing and contamination.
A word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
Sign of the times FOLLOWING the story in the Spanish press about the “Shanty town” which has sprung up in the Island’s capital, many of you have asked how you can help, by making donations of food and clothing, etc. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as that; you have to consider the cultural differences and, ultimately, even though individuals may (are) living in extreme poverty across the Island, they still have their pride and need to be treated with dignity. The harsh reality is that poverty, hard luck, whatever you want to call it, doesn’t distinguish young/old, male/ female, Canarian/British. People in poverty don’t all live in shanty towns, or on the streets; many are neighbours and colleagues, who have a roof over their head for now. This week, Canarian Weekly spoke with Tenerife Sur Lions Club President Norman Goodall MBE, who said: “Our Lions Club is dealing every week with distressed families in different problem areas, mostly caused by lack of financial means. “We supply clothing every day for the people living on the street, and our shops distribute a multitude of items for people sent to us by social services as being in need. “We believe the big national charities like Caritas are not receiving funding to make a noticeable difference at grass-roots level.” Caritas is a well-known charity; actually, the word itself is Latin for charity. Caritas is a religious charity which provides help and support for poor and needy people through what it calls its charitable and social action in the different parishes, throughout the
Canary Islands and Tenerife. Its work is carried out through the pastoral charitysocial: volunteers and professionals (social workers, psychologists, teachers, educators. Norman added: “In the past, when we have distributed food parcels, we have liaised with the local parish priests because they always know who has the greatest need in their community.” Research shows that eight out of 10 homeless are male, with unemployment and family breakdown being the two major contributing factors. There are shelters and drop-in centres, and many different charities including Caritas trying to help. But, in these current times, perhaps it needs all of us to pull together. So here are just a few ideas: *Clean out your wardrobe and pass on unwanted items to charities like the Lions, who will then pass the clothes on to wherever is appropriate. And do include those which still have labels on that you’ve never worn! *Make an extra meal for a neighbour - how much food do you throw away each week *Offer someone who can’t afford a car a lift - a simple act that will make their day run smoother. *If you’re a business, do you have unused stock you could donate to charity? Everyone can help, no matter how small the contribution; whether it’s time, money or goods, it can all make a difference. Until next week…

PM says no more tax hikes SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insists there will be no further tax hikes in the state budget for 2013.

But Rajoy has not ruled out further cutbacks in next year’s budget. “I hope I won’t have to take such difficult decisions,” he said.

Public Health's system changes ON September 1st, 910,342 foreigners lost their public system health card in a move that the government hopes will save around 1.5 billion euros a year. The Health Ministry explained that the measure is aimed as a “deterrent” that will prevent a “pull effect” on non-residents seeking free
health assistance from Spain. Each regional government must now figure out how to charge foreigners for medical assistance, or whether it takes on those costs itself, especially when it comes to the nearly 150,000 illegal immigrants living in Spain. The Popular Party administration figures that around 500,000 card carriers are not registered as living in Spain and might have been “health tourists” at

Tenerife’s new cruise season THE port of Santa Cruz will begin the 2012-2013 cruise season this month with eleven ships and 29,500 visitors, of which 22,390 are cruise passengers and 7,130 are crew members. Cruise traffic plays an important role in Tenerife’s passenger traffic position, which, according to the latest statistics released by the State Ports in June, is the second busiest national port, after Barcelona, in terms of the number of cruise ships. Tenerife received 251 liners this year, up to the month of June, some 21 more than the same period in 2011. Santa
YERAY Jesus Dorta and Abigail Delgado Martín Hernández, have won the Canarian Underwater Photography Championship, CAFOSUB 2012, which took place at the beginning of September in the coastal village of Las Galletas. The competition included a total of 16 teams, made
up of 32 participants, and among them were some of the world’s best underwater photographers, like Canarian David Barrios, who is the reigning world champion in this discipline. The images that captured the beauty and biodiversity of the seabed in the municipality of Arona were evaluated
by a jury of professionals, highlighted by the presence of Pierre Yves Cousteau. Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, said “This championship is a step forward in the knowledge of the true values of our marine environment, something absolutely necessary to value and preserve it.”
The Mayor also noted, “Currently, diving is a big part of what’s on offer to tourists here in Arona, and our intention is to position the municipality well in this area, not only because it is a tourist attraction that generates economic growth but also it allows us to work in the field of sustainability.”

With DEGUSTA.ME, Adeje wants to disseminate and promote local products, in this case cheese and honey produced in the town, also offering residents and tourists,
food-related activities, from tasting, participation, training and more, and bring about the consolidation of the Municipality as a culinary tourism destination.
Cruz de Tenerife seems to be continuing the upward trend in September, too, the beginning of the new season, with an increase of 2,134 cruise passengers when compared with the same month last year. The “Costa Deliziosa” opens the season, bringing on board 3,350 visitors, 2,400 of them cruisers. The ship will return here on Saturday, September 29th sharing a berth with the “AIDAsol”, who started its season a week earlier and will dock in Tenerife every Saturday to begin its weekly route in this part of the Atlantic. Also coming soon will be: the “Grand Mistral,” “Oriana”, “Silver Explorer” and “Oceana,” all frequent visitors to Tenerife.
Spain’s tennis star Nadal is ruled out of Davis Cup Rafa Nadal will be off the courts for two more months and that means he will miss the semi finals of the Davis Cup. Spain’s top player and world number four seed has still not recovered from his knee injury, and he has already missed the Olympics and the US Open.
He is suffering from the partial rupture of the patellar tendon at its insertion on the distal pole of the patella, plus from Hoffa’s syndrome or fat pad irritation. After the latest tests the knee is said to making favourable progress, but a conservative course has been decided, which rules out surgery. Rafa says he’s in no hurry to compete. ‘I’ve got many years ahead of me’, he said.

Local News FOREIGNERS living in Spain without residence rights, or who do not pay Social Security, are to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) if they are refused State medical treatment. In a move estimated to save the Health Service 1,500 million euros annually, the Ministry of Health cancelled the health cards of 910,000 patients across Spain from 1st September.. Those no longer paying Social Security and not entitled to dole money, or who are without current visas, all fell foul of the new law. Nearly one million patients have discovered they now

Healthcare ‘outcasts’ will fight the new law need to pay for medical treatment, including 150,000 non-EU immigrants without residence permits. It is because their visas have expired or that they are they have lost their jobs, which meant their permits have not been renewed. In the past, non-EU
immigrants were able to claim free healthcare for any condition - not just emergencies - provided they were recorded on the census of their town. Now, though, the Network for the Right to have Rights, set up by affected foreigners, intends to ensure patients
are closely monitored to check they are not refused treatment, or forced to pay for it. Various organisations which form part of the network, including the State Federation of Immigrants’ and Refugees’ Associations (FERINE), and the charity Médicos del Mundo (Doctors
of the World), warn that they will take every case of nonattendance to the ECHR. Those who will still receive State healthcare treatment are foreigners paying Social Security; those on an officially-recognised State pension or benefits; those pregnant, currently in labour or lactating; those suffering emergency illnesses or accidents; those with chronic conditions
or infectious diseases, and those under 18. In eight of the 17 Spanish federal regions, doctors across the board have refused to adhere to the “no treatment” rule for foreigners. In the other nine regions, thousands more doctors have lodged conscientious objections and are determined to continue offering assistance to the non-Spanish.
Canaries see another fall in jobless figures, as Spain’s still rising DESPITE a record number of unemployed throughout Spain, the jobless total in the Canaries fell in August for the third month in a row. The Ministry of Employment and Social Security recorded a drop of 1,119 people (0.39%) against the July figures in the Canary Islands, And the overall fall over the three-month period was 4,462 on the official list of unemployed. Meanwhile, the jobless total in Spain was up last month by 38,179, following four previous months of a decline in numbers. It reduced the number out of work to 4,625,634 and was the smallest increase in August unemployment figures since 2006. The jobless tally was worst in Murcia and the Basque Country, followed by Cataluña, Valencia, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalucía. But experts have been proved right for starting a controversy over the spending on unemployment benefits in this year’s Government Budget. They said the figures put forward by Labour Minister Fátima Báñez and Finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro simply didn’t add up. Now, despite protests at the time, this month’s latest data from the Labour Ministry shows the experts were correct. In the first seven months of this year, the outlay for jobless claims rose 5.4% to 18.455 billion euros, but Báñez and Montoro had predicted a fall of 5%. The figures were published at the same time as those for jobless claims in August, which showed an increase for the first time in five months to 4.625 million across the country, although the Canary Islands recorded a slight fall. So, with the economy deep in recession,
Page 8
jobs being destroyed and the number of workers affiliated with the Social Security system falling to the lowest level since the crisis broke, the government’s public accounts have become even more complicated. And this at a time when the central government’s deficit in the first seven months of the year has already exceeded its target for the whole year of 4.5% of Gross Domestic Product. The Government’s misguided forecasts for spending on pensions and unemployment in part explains the blow-out in the deficit, and the rationale behind the Popular Party PPrun Government’s decision to increase VAT and cut the benefit entitlements of those out of a job. Unemployment benefit spending in July alone rose by just over 8% from last year to 2.593 billion euros, while the number of new claims was up 34.4% from a year earlier. This suggests it will be difficult for the Government to correct the deficit later in the year. Also, the 10% cut in unemployment benefits from 60% of the base for Social Security contributions, approved in a decree in July, will not take effect this year. Further bad news on the financial front also emerged when Tomás Burgos, Social Security Minister, warned that the Government might have to draw on the reserve fund of 67 billion euros to meet future state pension payments. Burgos said: “After five years of intense crisis, the system has not needed to draw on the reserve fund, and our intention is to use available mechanisms to manage the state’s commitments. And the reserve fund is one of those mechanisms!”

Vertical climbers hit the heights in in a feat of feet
Changes to Granadilla Citizen’s Advice service THE Citizens Advice Service (SAC) in Granadilla de Abona has a new image and is expanding its
Page 10
schedule, said Councillor for Personnel and Citizen Services, María Soledad Diaz Melian.
Sermugran SL, which is responsible for the provision of this service, reports that the staff making up the SAC, a total of 19, have a new uniform look that offers, “A modern aesthetic, simple and
consistent with the provisions that develop daily”. Melian Diaz says this aims to give uniformity when dealing with the public who use this service in any of its offices, which are located in Granadilla, right on the Mena González plaza at the Town Hall; in San Isidro, at the Cultural Centre plaza, and in El Medano, in the Plaza de la Ermita. Public service hours have also increased, so, apart from the regular schedule from 8.30 to 14.30 in the three offices, Granadilla will open Thursday afternoons, San Isidro on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and El Medano on Mondays, from 16.30 to 19.30. One of the main reasons for the changes, the councillor says, “Is to bring the public administration closer to the people it serves and that is why we work every day to improve the service, to receive and respond appropriately to all residents and neighbours in need”. SAC provides information on all the activities organised from the different municipal areas, including payments, grants and subsidies, entry and exit applications and documents, tax information, self-assessments, collection of taxes, direct debits, modifications in tax rolls, water and sewer fittings, changes in the population census and certificates of registration, travel and living, among other things. The phone number is 010, if calling from the town, and 922 759 900 if outside of Granadilla de Abona.

Motorists are being driven away from their own shopping centres THE cost of parking cars in UK town centres has gone through the roof in the last year, with drivers forking nearly £8bn a year. Rising costs, including a 12% increase last year, has led to shoppers deserting their favourite shops and going out-of-town stores instead. A survey by car insurance company Confused.com reveals that the most expensive parking is in Knightsbridge, central London, where you can be charged up to £36 for three hours. The survey, spanning 2,000
people, found 69% avoided shopping areas with high parking prices deliberately, although 65% said they would return to the high street if parking was more affordable. A gripe from 21% of drivers is that current parking services do not offer enough space. Some 60% said they always spent between six and 20 minutes searching for a
parking space, while 30% felt unsafe in car parks. Nearly a quarter (24%) have been involved in carpark arguments, with 11% of the altercations leading to physical violence. Confused.com car insurance head Gareth Kloet said: In today’s difficult financial climate, people have had to find ways to save every penny possible. “Over-priced parking
charges are a problem which every motorist in the country has to deal with.” A Local Government Association spokesman said: “Many town and city centre car parks are operated by private companies or noncouncil organisations, which set their own tariffs. “No council puts up parking charges lightly, and councils should rightly consult beforehand with residents and businesses, which may be affected.” He added: “Many councils, particularly in rural areas, actually have to subsidise parking services because the cost of running car parks is not covered by charges or fines.”

Miracle of the little girl who survived family killing spree A LITTLE girl was discovered alive, miraculously, under the body of her mother as a British family were shot dead in the French Alps on Wednesday. The four-year-old was found almost eight hours after the massacre, when investigators went into the BMW for a closer inspection, The family, from Claygate, Surrey, had been staying in a caravan on a campsite popular with UK tourists called Saint Jorioz, near the village of Chevaline. A passer-by discovered the dead cyclist and a wounded eight-year-old girl, who was still alive near the scene, and alerted authorities at around 4pm. The youngster, believed to be an older sister, survived, despite being hit by at least three bullets as the gunman opened fire on her father, who has been named as Saad Al-Hilli, plus his mother and wife. A passing cyclist, believed to have witnessed the shootings, was also killed in the frenzy of bullets. The injured girl was in a critical
condition in a Grenoble hospital yesterday. Public prosecutor Eric Maillaud said: “As soon as the first forensics began, we were able to open the vehicle. “It was then that we discovered the little girl whom nobody had seen, because she hadn’t moved. She was completely in shock and completely frozen.” He added:“It was a dramatic crime scene, like we see on TV. We are employing all necessary means to investigate.” The slaughter took place in a car park in a forested area near Lake Annecy, a popular tourist spot in the HauteSavoie region, in eastern France. Several bullet casings were recovered at the scene, described by police as characteristic of an “assassination”. Residents of Chevaline reportedly saw a white car leaving the area “at a brisk speed”, and 60 police officers have been drafted in to try to solve the mystery. The Mayor of Chevaline, Didier Bwerthollet, said locals were shocked, and added: “We have never seen such horror on our doorsteps before.”

Greeks must work six days a week, says EU EUROZONE creditors are demanding that the Greece government introduce a sixday working week as part of the terms for the country’s second bailout. In a leaked letter, the officials policing the country’s compliance with the austerity package imposed, in return for the bailout, insist on radical labour market reforms - from minimum wages to overtime limits to flexible working hours – which will probably worsen the stand-off between the government and organised labour in Greece. After a long delay caused by months of political paralysis in Greece, inspectors returned to Athens this week to scrutinise Greek observance of its bailout terms. They are expected to deliver a verdict next month which will determine whether Greece is, ultimately, allowed to remain in the single currency. The letter, sent last week
to the Greek finance and labour ministries, orders the government to extend the working week into the weekend. The instructions read: *Increase flexibility of work schedules *Increase the number of maximum work days to six days per week for all sectors *Increase flexibility of work schedules *Set the minimum daily rest to 11 hours *Delink the working hours of employees from the opening hours of the establishment *Eliminate restrictions on minimum/
maximum time between morning and afternoon shifts *Allow the consecutive two-week leave to be taken any time during the year in seasonal sectors The letter also reveals the detail of eurozone intrusion into a national system and culture of work, widely seen outside Greece as dysfunctional. There should be a permanent “single-rate statutory minimum wage”, seen as an incentive for getting people back to work in a country where unemployment has soared to around 30%.
“Unemployment is too high, and policies are needed to prevent it from becoming structural,” the letter says. It also calls for nonwage labour costs to be lowered, employers’ welfare contributions to be cut, and deregulation of the labour market. Although statements on Greece in Berlin, Paris and Brussels have been more upbeat over the past fortnight, there is strong speculation in Berlin and Brussels that Greece may have to exit the euro, but not until after the US elections in November.

It’s a new-look Kylie, with strings attached
Skyscanner style AS Fashion Week hits the world’s style capitals this month, a poll by Skyscanner, Europe’s leading travel search site has revealed that Brits fail to dress to impress, ranking as only the 4th most stylish nation in Europe.
AUSTRALIAN pop princess Kylie Minogue has revitalised her biggest hits, which span her 25-year recording career, with new orchestral arrangements. She has included new versions of Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Better The Devil You Know, The Locomotion and I Should Be So Lucky for her new The Abbey Road Sessions album, set for release on 29th October.
Page 14
Kylie also has a new version of Where The Wild Roses Grow, with Nick Cave returning to the studio to re-record his vocal on the 1995 single. The Aussie duo seemed an odd pairing then. Cleancut Kyle was best known for her pop hits while Cave, a former heroin addict, had spent years working on dark, moody offerings. British-based fans can hear the new versions of her hits when she performs in London’s Hyde Park with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Proms In The Park concert tomorrow (Saturday).
stylish behind Italy and France. At the bottom of the style spectrum, The Russians and Dutch are clearly struggling to shake off the age-old stereotypes of bear fur hats and clogs, as they got the fashion thumbs down from the rest of Europe. In the battle of the Brits, three-quarters voted the English the most stylish, followed by the Scots, while just 1% separated the Welsh (3rd) and Northern Irish
(4th) from being named and shamed as the least stylish. Skyscanner’s Victoria Bailie commented: “Departure lounges in London, Paris and Milan are going to be packed with more sartorial elegance than usual throughout September, as the latest ‘It’ bags replace summer holiday suitcases on the baggage carousels. However, despite being home to some of the world’s most iconic fashion designers, Britain still has some way to go to convince
visitors from the rest of Europe that it really is the true capital of fashion.” Top five most stylish nations 1st Italy 2nd Spain 3rd France 4th Britain 5th Denmark Top five least stylish nations 1st Russia 2nd Netherlands 3rd Turkey 4th Germany 5th Sweden
The European survey of more than 12,000 people saw Brits lose out to the Italians, Spanish and French in the fashion stakes. Italy, the home of iconic fashion houses such as Gucci and Armani, perhaps unsurprisingly tops the poll but, despite the world renown of the London and Paris Fashion Weeks, it is the Spanish who are nipping at the Italians’ designer heels for the mantle of Europe’s most stylish.

www.canarianweekly.com THE Rolling Stones, Britain’s iconic rock group who have recently celebrated 50 years in the business, are issuing a Greatest Hits album - and a new film. The global release of GRRR! is set for 12th November and will be available in five formats, including a threeCD 50 track version with 50 tracks, and a four-CD superdeluxe version featuring 80 tracks. The collection recounts the never-ending story of the Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band in the World, from their initial entry into the British charts - a version of Chuck Berry’s Come On, in June 1963 - to dozens of favourites, which have stood the test of time. They include The Last Time, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Get Off Of My Cloud, Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women and Start Me Up, which was featured in an Omega TV advert during the London Olympics. It spans the Stones entire history, right up to the present day, with the inclusion of Gloom And Doom and One Last Shot, two new studio recordings completed by the group in Paris last month.
Stones are rolling out a greatest-hits album to celebrate 50 years On top of this mammoth release, the Stones will star in the film Crossfire Hurricane, which documents the key periods of their career and
07 September - 13 September 2012
their incredible, worldwide adventures. It chronicles their journey, from Bluesobsessed teenagers in the early Sixties to rock royalty,
from the Marquee Club to Hyde Park, from Altamont to Exile, and from club gigs to stadium extravaganzas. As befits the first rock band
to reach the 50-year milestone, with their global stature now greater than ever, the film combines extensive historical footage, much of
it widely unseen, with contemporary commentaries by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and former Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. Period interviews, extensive live-performance material and news archive enables the production to offer a noholds-barred approach. It has taken over a year to make and produce, with the full co-operation of The Rolling Stones, and it will be released in November. The film will also be premiered on HBO in the US, and broadcast on BBC Two in late 2012. With neverbefore-seen footage and fresh insights from the band themselves, the film will delight, shock and amaze long-time devotees, as well as a new generation of fans. Director Brett Morgen said: “Crossfire Hurricane invites the audience to experience, first-hand, the Stones’ nearmythical journey, from outsiders to rock’n’roll royalty. “This is not an academic history lesson. It allows the viewer to experience the Stones’ journey from a unique vantage point.” Bass guitarist Bill Wyman, who left the group in 1993, summed up the early years, saying: “When we got together, something magical happened, and no one could ever copy that.”

Author Lee writes his own way out of personal crisis LEE BULLEN, a Tenerife-based writer, releases his debut novel on Monday, when it will be available to order from Amazon’s websites. BESET: A Desperate Search for Happiness in Times of Crisis is a humorous, bittersweet account of one man and his state of mind during Tenerife’s economic woes. “I was in personal crisis, struggling on an Island in economic crisis, which was not an enviable position,” says Lee, who started the novel in February following a turbulent life-altering period. “The only thing displaying any kind of momentum was the economic recession and its devastating influence on mine and other’s lives. I had to sit down and do something with the weight I was living through. “We only hear about how hard the financial institutions have it, but I felt the time was right for an individual story set during this perpetual crisis.” Despite the heavy themes of financial austerity, autism and drug dependence, Lee worked hard to install a witty style to make the book as light and enjoyable as
possible. The novelist and screenwriter who shares a writing retreat with his two children and an army of cacti, added: “I’ve always written comedy but, tonally, this was very different, so I added a sharp narrative and humorous inner-dialogue to break things up. “Ultimately, it’s very aspirational: ¬think The Pursuit of Happiness meets Eat, Pray, Love and you won’t be far off.” The story, based in El Médano, follows Lee on his personal journey to rediscover a love for life, but he finds his every goal is hampered by the brutal effects of the Great Recession and continual universal wallops. He tries to come to terms with his autistic son’s worsening condition, while finding himself knee-deep in divorce, unemployment and financial disaster. However, despite the multitude of omnipotent foes, Lee discovers that he may, in fact, be his own worst enemy... He is currently working on a related short-story, which he also hopes to release soon.

Mighty conker trees under threat throughout Europe THE horse chestnut tree is under threat throughout much of Europe - because of a moth which produces leaf-eating larvae, and a bacterium that makes trunks bleed and die. “It is almost like a lethal cocktail,” said Dr. Darren Evans, a lecturer in conservation biology at the University of Hull. “If it is under attack by moths, it is probably going to be more susceptible to this bleeding canker - which will kill it!” Sadly, there appears to be no immediate cure in sight for these magnificent “conker” trees. Dr Evans confirmed: “The leaf miner moth has spread throughout most of northern Europe and we still don’t really know whether there is any effective way of controlling it. The same goes for the bacteria.”
Page 16
Without any clear reason, the moth became rampant and journeyed through much of Europe about a decade ago. In Britain, it first surfaced in Wimbledon in 2002 and soon made its way across England and Wales. It has also flourished throughout the continent. The moth lays eggs in leaves and the larvae start devouring them, causing foliage to turn colour as soon as July. The rusting robs the tree of vital sunlight for key months and, weakened, some fall prey to other diseases such as fungi. The moth was soon joined by a bacterium that came from the Himalayas. It causes chestnut bark to bleed an oozing, sticky liquid, sapping the tree and in many cases, killing it. “The worst-case scenario is that we lose most of our horse chestnut trees to this bleeding canker,” said Dr Evans.. In Britain, which has up to
two million chestnut trees, a 2007 survey showed that up to half could be infected with the disease. And the alarm has also been raised in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The first chestnut trees came from the Balkans and were introduced in Western Europe about 500 years ago. The magnificent tree is a hallmark of cities rather than forests and, especially during the Victorian era, it became a favourite for stately lanes, parks and squares. The chestnuts in Paris are also part of the attraction at Pere Lachaise - the city’s largest cemetery. But last year, visitors were able to walk ankle-deep through rusty leaves in the middle of July. “It’s a problem all over Paris,” said cemetery conservator Martine Lecuyer, although she said heavy rainfall made this year a little better. In Amsterdam, officials
are scrambling to try to save chestnuts within the famed canal belt. But for the historic tree in which the legendary Anne Frank hid out from the Nazis, help came too late. The 150-year-old specimen, affected by the moth and fungi, weakened progressively and crashed to the ground two years ago. If the worst predictions do prevail, many Britons will mourn chestnut trees as the passing of part of their youth. That’s because the game of conkers, in which children take turns trying to smash “chestnuts” dangling on a piece of string, was once a popular pastime in school playgrounds. And it may well be extinct before too long. “Many local authorities are no longer planting horse chestnut trees because they fear for their future,” said Dr Evans. “What is the point in planting something that is going to be susceptible to attack?”

Exciting outlook for companies AS most people are just blowing off the holiday cobwebs, I thought we’d keep it nice and simple this week! It is true that the financial crisis has caused businesses to unite and create communities - and for those invited to the private presentations for our next exciting project, the final quarter of the year looks as though it could be exciting. Financial experts in London have reported that, as of October 2011, the “official recovery” period from the recession has begun. However, businesses which have stood still and not innovated, or identified the trend changes in the market place, seem to be suffering most. The Island has flourished, with record tourism figures in
2011 and a whole new stream of flight-paths opening this year. And exciting new projects being launched by Capecan Group indicate that there could be many innovative changes for the business community to enjoy. On Wednesday I was invited to speak with Milagros Luis Brito, Vice-President of the Canarian Government’s ZEC department, to discuss the inward investment strategy between Capecan Group and the Government. We will implement it through our international partners in 2013, and attracting more companies brings with it investment and career opportunities for residents and our youth. Those of you on holiday may be unaware that the Canaries is Europe’s leading corporation tax zone, with profits taxed at just 4%. And, unlike other “tax

havens”, we are proud to say we are NOT ONE! That’s because dividends can be repatriated to other European countries, free from double taxation - if the bi-lateral agreement has been signed with Spain, which applies to nearly all European countries.
However, aside for our international activities, the Capecan Group are still dedicated to assisting small businesses and entrepreneurs here in the Canary Islands. On 20th September, the Capecan Business Centre and BP Tenerife-sponsored
The Business Lounge will be held at Bianco’s Lounge, in the Pasarela Centre, Los Cristianos. The Business Lounge has grown from strength to strength since its formation last year, providing people from all types of businesses an opportunity to enjoy a social drink together in a relaxed atmosphere, with like-minded people. There is a strict nomarketing policy, which ensures that you can relax and enjoy chatting with new contacts.

Live Arico’s new start
IN the light of recent events over the last few weeks, in many areas concerned with animal welfare here in Tenerife, Live Arico have decided to regroup, re-brand and re-energise towards a brighter future for ALL animals here on our island. With this in mind, we would like to inform all of our supporters of our intentions over the coming months with a view to not only improve any situation but to assist wherever we can with all the organisations here. We would like to issue the following statement: We, the committee and members of Live Arico, Pet Animal Welfare Supporters (PAWS) pledge that we will: 1. Continue to support the dogs which now reside in Refugio Fasnia by helping to supply adequate food, medical treatment and other supplies needed for their well being 2. Continue to provide assistance in finding homes for the above mentioned dogs and any other animals brought to our attention, through adoption, fostering and sponsorship programmes 3. To continue to repay the debts of Live Arico, incurred through the amazing support of Hospivet Sur and La Granja 4. To support other animal welfare associations based in Tenerife, by way of fundraising, providing supplies and assisting in awareness where needed 5. To help in providing an education programme for future welfare of animals here, to include a neutering scheme, contacts of all relevant organisations, training schemes and more 6. To keep all members, supporters, other organisations and authorities informed of our progress by
Page 20
way of a monthly newsletter, published on our page, informing of events, how to help, assistance we require and any other relevant information To achieve these goals, we have involved some of our long-standing members, who are assisting on a daily basis with their time, vast knowledge in many aspects required and attending all meetings. By having a committed team, we feel we can achieve our goals and more. Good news month Eleven dogs were sent to new homes in Germany last month, another two to the UK, and with the four about to fly to the UK, which makes 17 fewer dogs in a refuge. Live Arico collection boxes Does your business have one? If so, does it need emptying? Or maybe things have changed and you no longer want one? Or you may not have one, but want one? The options are endless. In any case, please call Siobhan or Linda on the numbers below and they will make the necessary arrangements. Please do not let anyone collect a box without the correct identification form Live Arico. Several boxes have been stolen lately, so please, be aware. Our best-bargain shops We have some fantastic bargains in our three shops. We are in Los Cristianos, Churchill Square, opposite the play park by the harbour, and open from 10am to 4pm daily, including Sundays. Our San Eugenio shop, opposite Hotel La Niña, by Amandas Bar, opens Monday to Saturday, from 10am-4pm. And our original shop in Costa del Silencio opens Monday to Saturday, 11am5pm. Important phone numbers Adoption Hotline: 682 517 045. Heidi speaks Spanish, English and German General Enquiries: Linda Smethurst - 617 374 816; Siobhan Fergusen 630 857 626
Chaperones wanted for our German-bound dogs ACCION del Sol are anxious to contact people travelling to Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart or Munich who would be willing to take a dog with them.
so that he can put his horrific past behind him and learn to trust humans again. Please call 922 778 630 if you would like to adopt a dog, or want to learn more about the refuge, or if you
can help out in any way, like dog-walking, for example. It’s a sure way of getting those tails wagging like mad! By the way, towels and blankets are always needed for the animals, if you have
any to spare. The refuge is situated at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF-1, beside the ITER windmills, and is open to the public Monday-Friday from 3-6pm.
All it will cost them is a little bit of their time, and it will give the dogs a chance of a new life via Accion’s sponsors, Aktiontier, a huge animal charity in Germany. Sometimes, it is easier to rehome larger dogs or those with special needs there rather than Tenerife. Accion del Sol will be completely responsible for the dog, while Aktiontier staff will do all the necessary paperwork and meet you at both airports. Naturally, the animal will be collected upon your arrival at the chosen airport. Please email acciondelsol@gmail. com or call 922 778 630 for more information if you are travelling to any of these destinations and would like to help. The Golden Labrador pictured is Kiara, who has now been adopted and is living happily in Germany with her new owner and new playmate, Simba. Banto, who endured wicked treatment from its owner before being rescued and taken to Accion, is well on the road to recovery, thanks to the veterinary treatment and daily care from staff and volunteers at the refuge. Let’s hope he finds a special home

Miranda knows she is not exactly cool, but being young, free and single has its advantages, like jetting off to Thailand on holiday for a few days.

She thoroughly enjoys the hotel, and even makes new friends with helpful porter Jason and conference organiser Colin. As her stay goes on, she becomes a new woman.

Gabby Logan introduces live coverage of the Diamond League final from Brussels, the finale to the 14-leg series which began in Doha before moving on to venues such as Rome, New York and Paris. With double points on offer in this meeting in Belgium, the stars of the London Olympics will be out in force, eager to cap a successful summer with victory in the Diamond Race for their event. All eyes will be on Jamaican sprint duo Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake. In 2011 Blake produced a blistering performance in Brussels, recording the second fastest 200m time in history. The 21-year-old had to settle for Olympic silver in the 100m and 200m in London, finishing behind Bolt, his friend and training partner, in both races. Analysis is provided by Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis, with commentary from Steve Cram and Paul Dickenson.

BBC 2, 9.45-10.15pm
Government embarrassment, ministerial cock-up, Coalition rows, backroom deals, policy U-turns, spin-doctoring, political backstabbing, wild media speculation, and more time spent with one’s family - it can only be the eagerly anticipated return of Armando Iannucci’s award-winning political comedy series. Roger Allam returns as Peter Mannion MP, the new Secretary of State for The Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship (DoSAC), supported by his team of special advisors, commanded by Number 10’s Director of Communications Stewart Pearson (Vincent Franklin) and thwarted by his new Coalition partner, DOSAC’s Junior Minister Fergus Williams MP (Geoffrey Streatfeild). Also back are Nicola Murray MP and foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, in roles reprised by Bafta award winners Rebecca Front and Peter Capaldi. Both are now consigned to Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, but still desperately hoping for a return to power. The ensemble cast is completed by Chris Addison, Joanna Scanlan, James Smith, Olivia Poulet, Will Smith, Ben Willbond, and Rebecca Gethings.

China On Four Wheels BBC 2, 20.00 Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt embark on two epic car journeys through China, navigating congested cities and winding mountain roads to explore whether the country’s economic growth, exemplified by its booming car industry, can be sustained. If so, what impact would that have on the world and on the day-to-day lives of the Chinese people? In the first of the two-part series, the pair set off from Beijing and take two very different routes towards Shanghai - journeys which will take three weeks to complete. Anita takes the high road, through the rich industrialised cities of eastern China. She meets with young self-made billionaires at Beijing’s Super Car club, before visiting Great Wall Motors, China’s largest SUV manufacturer, whose revenue, like that of many Chinese manufacturers, has soared in the past few years. She also visits a solar-powered hotel, which aims to set a green model for the future, and joins young wealthy families as they embark on one of the increasingly popular self-drive holiday tours. Meanwhile, Justin’s route heads inland to a more rural China. He visits villages where migrant workers have left behind their homes and families in the countryside for lowpaid work in the cities, before heading north for the new city of Kangbashi, nicknamed the ‘ghost city’ because of the lack of residents. Is this a symbol that the Chinese property bubble is about to burst? His journey takes him to the cave house where Mao plotted the Communist Revolution - now a major tourist attraction. But just up the road he discovers that for the several million people who still live in caves, not a lot has changed since the Revolution. For these people, the donkey is often a more common means of transport than a car.

Series presented by Evan Davis, in which budding entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch their business ideas to five multimillionaires willing to invest their own cash to kick-start the business. A former professional boxer spars with the Dragons, charming them with his no-nonsense pitching style, and isn't afraid to get down and give them twenty. A twenty-sevenyear-old from County Down faces some tough questions over his valuation at ten times the revenue he is forecasting, not a thing that traditionally endears an entrepreneur to an investor. And it's all too much for one emotional entrepreneur who struggles to hold back the tears when pitching her new hairstyling concept. Plus, a Warrington-based chip shop owner showers the Den in confetti, three friends from North London perfect the art of miming in their pitch, and the multimillionaire investors find themselves singing about vegetables.

The Scapegoat ITV1, 21.00
A period adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel The Scapegoat. The autumn of 1952. George VI has died, and England waits to welcome its new monarch. Meanwhile, worlds away, John Standing teaches Greek in a shabby prep school. Or at least he did until yesterday. With his department unceremoniously done away with, John decides to visit the continent in search of culture, adventure...anything to get him away from the crushing monotony of his life. It is said that everybody has a doppelgänger, somewhere in the world. Held up changing trains, John goes to a bar. It is there that he spots Johnny Spence and feels a bolt of electricity. Johnny is his mirror image - the likeness is uncanny. They drink into the night, discussing their problems, transfixed by their similarity. John is in search of human connection, Johnny craves an escape from his responsibilities – he is an aristocratic landowner, reluctantly heading home after a disastrous business venture. The two men spend the night in the same hotel. But when John awakes the next morning, Johnny is nowhere to be seen – and a driver wants to take John “home”. Some deep impulse responds to the crack of opportunity, and John literally steps into his double’s shoes. Arriving at the crumbling stately home, John discovers a house swarming with people. Johnny is in possession of a beautiful young wife and an eerily precocious daughter, a brother and sister seething with resentment and a mistress who happens to be his sister- in-law. Finally, John meets Lady Spence – Johnny’s opium addicted mother, who broods over the house from her upstairs bedroom. So pure is the resemblance Johnny’s family are instantly taken in by his substitute. John negotiates the initial hurdles clumsily, but without giving himself away. Thereafter, he begins to understand the various crises facing the family. Johnny’s fecklessness has allowed them to slip into financial ruin. The glass foundry attached to the house has suffered decades of mismanagement. Most perniciously, his casual cruelty has suffocated everyone around him. John goes about setting things right. As he restores order, he finds himself becoming intoxicated by the meaning and purpose that he has done without for so long. Johnny’s overflowing life includes a number of beautiful women – and soon John is falling into bed with mistress Bela and falling in love with his wife Frances. With every day that goes by, John is wound tighter into the other man’s life.

Leaving ITV1, 21.00 Written and created by Tony Marchant, Helen McCrory and Callum Turner star in this gripping three part character-driven story about the complexities of love, family and growing up. Aaron Simmons (Callum Turner) is 25. He lives with his parents, can’t find a job, and - to cap it all - his ex-girlfriend Phoebe (Charity Wakefield) is about to marry his brother, Tom (Bart Edwards). Life’s not panning out the way he’d hoped. Julie Ranmore (Helen McCrory) is 44, married to Michael (Sean Gallagher) and a mum of two. The passion has long since lapsed in her marriage, but her work in hotel events gives her brief moments of joy in the romance of others. Julie stands quietly at the back of weddings, silently mouthing the vows she knows by heart, enjoying the vicarious thrill of seeing other people happy. When Julie first meets Aaron on the night of his brother’s wedding, he is drunk, miserable, a mess. Professional and with a degree of sympathy, Julie gets the night porter to take him to his room. Julie heads home to the everyday chaos of her family, unaware that this moment was the unlikely start to an unlikely relationship. The next morning, with a stinking hangover and the accompanying fug of self-pity, Aaron cuts a pathetic figure. It takes Julie, back on shift, to deliver some home truths – he needs a reality check. With those words ringing in Aaron’s ears, the wedding hardens his resolve to find work, leave behind his childhood bedroom, and turn things around. When a job comes up at the hotel, his mate Jonah (Gregg Chillin) cajoles him into applying. He gets it. Now Aaron and Julie are working together every day. Although Aaron’s tasks are menial, he soon develops an easy rapport with his colleagues and begins to enjoy himself. Despite this, Julie keeps him slightly at arm’s length - perhaps suspicious that for Aaron this is just a passing job, a gap year of sorts, before he moves onto ‘bigger and better’ things. For her, this is real – this is her life. But Aaron genuinely starts to take pride in his work, and recognise the reasons Julie finds her job so rewarding. A bond begins to form and, one night, an intimate moment becomes a kiss - taking them both by surprise. What follows will have profound implications for both Aaron and Julie as they each come to terms with finding love in the unlikeliest of places.
Old, Drunk and Disorderly? Panorama investigates alcoholism among the elderly. They may not be being thrown out of nightclubs or fighting in the streets but a surprising number of older people are drinking too much. In 2011 there were more admissions to hospital of pensioners for alcohol-related injuries and illnesses than 16-24 year olds. Those aged 65 and over are statistically more likely to drink every day, drink at home and drink alone than any other age group. Former government 'Voice for Older People', Joan Bakewell, goes on the trail of the estimated 1.4 million people aged 65 and over who are currently exceeding recommended drinking limits.

Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Cookery Course 1/20 Hillsborough ITV1, 22.35 On the eve of the publication of a report into thousands of unpublished public papers into the Hillsborough disaster, ITV presents a landmark documentary containing previously unheard accounts of the events of that tragic day. A total of 96 Liverpool fans died as a result of crushing at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 during an FA Cup match with Nottingham Forest. Even as they lay dying, the police officer in charge on the day blamed the fans themselves for the tragedy. Despite an official enquiry into the Hillsborough disaster clearly identifying a series of police errors as the chief cause, many of the survivors and bereaved families feel they still fall under a cloud of suspicion while those responsible have never been fully held to account. Now, with the imminent publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report into unpublished public papers about the disaster, we hear first-hand recollections from relatives, survivors, members of the emergency services and others involved in the game to piece together the tragic events of that day and the 23-year search for truth which has followed.

W C CHOICE Trouble on the Estate BBC1, 21:00
Drugs, anti-social behaviour, family break-ups and joblessness are all part of life on Britain's poorest housing estates. Panorama spent months filming on one estate in Blackburn with families, kids and police, as well as going undercover with drug dealers, in an effort to learn what it is like to live and grow up there. Those featured include eight-yearold Oshi, who is desperate to see his dad after a twoyear absence; Jordan, who at only 15 is threatening to leave his family home because of the trouble; and 20-year-old Jessie, whose behaviour frightens other residents and keeps landing him in prison. Richard Bilton asks: is this really a picture of 'broken Britain', a place at the edge of where the state can make a difference?
The Great British Bake Off BBC2, 20:00 The bakers turn their attention to pies. For their first task they must master a perfect Wellington. When they've recovered it's straight into a fiendishly difficult technical challenge - hand raised pies. None of the bakers have used a pastry dolly before and it proves the downfall of many. With several bakers in the danger zone everything rests on the showstopper challenge - American Pies. But who will be this week's star spangled baker and who will be leaving the bake off?

After choosing the coffin she asks to see the Chapel of Rest and breaks down in tears as the reality of what she faces hits home. Later she finds comfort at her father’s graveside where her ashes will one day be scattered. A growing number of people in Britain are choosing a funeral without religion. Bikers from all over the country come together for a funeral with its own unique set of rituals. A high speed send off in a motorcycle hearse, known as the ‘last blast’.

Restoration Home BBC2, 20:00 One Year On Big House and Calverton. Calverton Manor in Buckinghamshire dates back to Tudor times and was once home to a powerful businessman. When David and Jeanette saw the Grade II* listed building, it was a rundown farmhouse. With a restoration budget of one million pounds, they relished uncovering the historic and architectural secrets of the house. Now a proper home, does it fulfil the couple's every dream? And what of new evidence revealing the house's links to the code-breaking Bletchley Park? Big House in Pembrokeshire was a carcass. But its architectural and historical roots showed the wealth and power of an empire built on coal. Local man Alun dreamed of owning Big House since he was a small boy, and he finally bought it.
Grand Designs Channel 4, 21:00 A brand new series kicks off with a Grand Design on an epic scale. This is the story of one man's heroic attempt to fulfill his childhood dream and bring back from the ruins an incredible castle set in one of the most beautiful landscapes of southern Ireland. Larger-than-life actor Sean Simons fell in love with the ruins of Cloontykilla Castle when he played there as a boy. Years later he bought it, with the idea of turning it into a spectacular, theatrical mock 16th century home, complete with grand baronial hall, luxury bedrooms, sweeping staircases, water spouting gargoyles, Jacuzzis in the battlements and a huge recording studio in the basement.

W C CHOICE Hilary Devey's Women at the Top BBC2, 21:00
Multimillionaire entrepreneur Hilary Devey wants to find out why so few women make it to the top in business. Her search takes her to Norway, said to be the best place in the world to be a woman, to find out if quotas will help more women get to the top. Back at home, she finds out how the Government plans to shake up parental leave, encouraging men to take up to nine months leave after the birth of a child. She also investigates how some of Britain's biggest companies, including Ford and BT, are helping working mothers who want to climb the career ladder. Convinced that a more equal gender balance means better business performance, Hilary sets out to transform the prospects for women inside her own business, starting with the warehouse team, which is 98% male.
The Audience Channel 4, 21:00 In this brand new threepart factual series, a person with a life-changing decision to make is followed around by 50 strangers for a week. Each programme focuses on someone with a genuine dilemma, from 'should I move abroad?' to 'should I kick out my troublesome teen?' or 'should we get married or separate?'. Unsure what to do, they turn to The Audience for help. A group of 50 ordinary men and women, of different ages, bac grounds and experience, follow the person or a couple for week wherever they go.

SUE MCDONALD Common Sense Furnishings Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com
The name of the game is Refurb! MORE and more, we are being asked to do partial refurbs, spending a small amount of money to achieve a noticeable improvement. One of our clients has just bought several apartments in Club La Mar in Puerto Santiago. The apartments have been recently refurbished, and are equipped for aparthotel use. However, they did have that slightly bland, uniform appearance which many hotels have, so what we decided to do was just make them a bit more original and homely. By moving a few shelves around, putting in nice abstract pictures with a hint of colour and luxury, a few mirrors to add light and depth to some areas, and some new terrace furniture, the apartments have become more individual and attractive. Since the rentals will be done via a website, the photos will immediately differentiate these apartments from the many available for rental. And the spend was very little, considering the improvement achieved. In other cases, it may be that we are reupholstering sofas or chairs, and sometimes the seat cushions only, if these are the parts that are most worn.
Page 38
Together with a couple of toning cushions, a few hundred euros can save you the cost of a new sofa, while giving your property a new lease of life. Equally, another client needed a new bed base because the previous one, with wooden slats, was broken. We normally install solid bases since they are much stronger, but in this case the client was also short of storage space. Therefore, we installed a bed which can be lifted up (with the mattress and bedclothes in place, of course), to reveal ample storage underneath. We recommended that the new bed base chosen should be either wood, or covered in faux leather so that it doesn’t mark when the floor is being mopped. And also, that it should have rounded corners since the bedroom was relatively small - and so that toes didn’t get bumped! These are all details you may
not think of at the time, but we are able to offer advice which can save you time and money! Obviously the new furniture business is largely dependant on property sales and newbuilds, but I have to say that our refurbishment side is doing well, particularly for the reupholstery and respraying, together with small projects such as curtains, cushions and throws. In these cases, it is often easier if we go out to the clients so that we can see which items we can work with and which need to be replaced. But, of course, people are also welcome to come along to our showroom in Parque Margarita (next to Rimini and Bar Margarita), where we are based every morning. So even if your intended refurb is only minor. give us a ring on (0034) 922 7897 29, to have a chat without obligation. All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo.
Home viewing SEPTEMBER brings with it a whole host of programming for the Autumn season, as our routine gets back to normal after the summer break. Channel 4 on Wednesday brings us Grand Designs at 9pm. A brand-new series of 12 programmes kicks off with a Grand Design on an epic scale. This is the story of one man’s heroic attempt to fulfill his childhood dream and bring back from the ruins an incredible castle set in one of the most beautiful landscapes of southern Ireland. Sean Simon fell in love with the ruins of Cloontykilla Castle when he played there as a boy. Years later he bought it, with the idea of turning it into a spectacular, theatrical mock 16th century home. But would it prove to be a magnificent personal masterpiece, or a garish sub-Disneyesque disaster? After borrowing an eyewatering 1.2 million
Euros, Sean launches into his project just as Ireland plunges into recession... On Thursday at 8pm, Kirstie and Phil return for a run of five new episodes of Location, Location, Location. This time they are in Hertfordshire, prime commuter territory where property doesn’t come cheap, trying to find two homes for
two young couples. Newlyengaged accountants Liz and Neil are looking for a home where they can start a family close to the market town of Tring. Twenty miles east, in St Albans, Phil is helping married couple David and Claire, who have moved five times in five years and are desperate to get off the rental merry-go-round.
New food labelling ALDI, well known British supermarket, has decided to introduce colour coding on the front of pack labeling. Richard Lloyd, Which? executive director, said: “This is a win for Aldi shoppers and a win for Which? as we have long been campaigning for traffic-light labelling on food. With last week’s news that Tesco is also including traffic light labelling, people will be able to use the same system in most supermarkets. We now want to see a commitment from Morrisons, Lidl and Iceland, the only supermarkets not using traffic lights, along with the main food manufacturers.”

CARL PATTISON
from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions
What price is beauty? WHAT I’m about to tell you is going to be a personal choice for you, the salon customer, after you have read this. You decide the facts and make your own mind up about the story...I decided to make investigations - as I always do when writing my column - so I am able to state TRUE facts and not old wives’ tales, I wanted to look into a product called Brazilian Blowout because I had seen it advertised in various places, and I looked into it to find exactly what my clients were talking about when asking me about it. I have been in my profession for 32 years and I’ve seen fads come and go. But I was quite alarmed at seeing how this product worked, and the effects it had on clients and the stylists using it. It claims to straighten and smooth hair for up to four months, rather like a reverse perm. The company was started in Brazil to cope with the high humidity there and also the clients they have with frizzy, curly hair. It was found that the main chemical used in this product is Formaldehyde, a toxic chemical used to straighten wool and harden nail polish, among other uses. Its use is uncertain as it is contained in many household ingredients, including cleaning products and clothes’ softeners. It is often unknown to us as are many ingredients unless we read all the small print on every product - and it is even used to embalm the dead in mortuaries!
Page 40
So, as you can imagine, I dug deeper to find out more, and discovered in many backissues of this year’s Daily Mail, that the newspaper was also concerned. During the process, the hair is coated in the product and left on for 30 minutes. The chemical is NOT removed and your hair is blow-dried and ironed. And this is where the problem begins. The hair-irons used are very hot and emit steam thus releasing vapours into the salon air in the salon. These are known carcinogenic vapours. Carcinogen is an agent directly involved in causing cancer, and people in salons, including the stylists and others having their hair done, are breathing them in! This is then left on your hair and scalp for three days! It is said to cause headaches, eye irritations, allergic reactions, chest pains, asthma, insomnia and depression. The company has been sued in America and Canada for failing to supply information to clients and stylists as to the possible risks. The famous Nicky Clarke salons in the UK have banned all use of this brand of product after being informed of its dangers. There are permitted uses of formaldehyde (a colourless gas) but in amounts no greater than 0.2%. Yet salons have been caught “boosting” the strength to over 50% by adding their own formaldehyde and saying the new, controlled version is not strong enough. If used too often as clients become “addicted “ to their
smoothed hair, the chemicals can destroy the hair follicle and prevent it growing. This results in bald patches - and the hair will never return. All this sounds rather dramatic, especially when you consider that I’m talking only about a hair product. Yes, we do use strong chemicals in the salon but their formulas are years old and are not on this sort of level. I had to think long and hard about whether or not to write this week’s column. It’s not that I’m trying to create a scare story, but I sincerely believe that you, the public, need to know the lengths to which some companies will go to give you the look you want. But at what price? Yes, I have seen the results of this product and No, I don’t like what I have seen: burnt, frazzled hair that is anything but smooth; broken ends that need to be cut off, and hair so badly dried-out that it’s going to take years to repair. I am sure by now that you all get where I’m coming from. I’m not here to decide for you - it’s like, “Do you drink, smoke or take drugs”? It’s your choice. I’m a caring hairdresser and I would NEVER use a chemical I knew could damage the health of my clients and my staff, too. Yes, I’ve read all the comments on the net about how some think it’s a miracle product and that it works for them. That’s fine, if it’s what you as a paying client wants. But not in my salon! Consider what I have written, and now make your own decision as a customer and someone, maybe,who cares about what she is using on her head.
Too salty? Despite increased awareness about the risks of too much sodium in consumers’ diets and pledges from governments around the world to reduce salt levels in food, products with low/no/reduced sodium claims have seen some decline over the past years according to new findings from Mintel. Globally, launches of foods with low/no/reduced sodium claims declined 5% over the 2010/2011 period, appearing on just 2% of total food launches in 2011. Chris Brockman, Global Food and Drink Analyst at Mintel, said: “A large percentage of the global food industry remains wary of the commercial impacts of reducing salt in their products. This anxiety is well-founded, with many products positioned as low sodium forced off the shelves prematurely in recent years due to poor sales. Manufacturers struggled to find workable salt substitutes, forcing many to rapidly pull them from the market. Efforts are being made to offer consumers alternatives to sodium. However, existing salt replacements have not caught the imagination of consumers. Consumers are concerned about salt intake, but are not willing to compromise on taste.” In Europe, 3% of all new food products introduced in 2011 in the UK carried a low/no reduced sodium claim, a higher percentage
than other key European markets with the exception of Netherlands, where 9% of all new products had the same claim. For France the figure stood at 2% in 2011; for Spain 1.4%. Italy and Germany were significantly lower, at just 1% each. “The Netherlands was higher mainly because of the food industry’s Ik Kies Bewust (“I choose consciously”) campaign featuring on-pack logos to indicate new or reformulated products that are low in sugar, sodium and saturated fat.” Chris explains. Over in Asia Pacific, New Zealand took the lead, with 3% of all new food products in 2011 labelled as low/no reduced sodium followed by Australia with 2%. Other market activity in the region included Thailand with 1.2%, South Korea (0.8%) and Singapore (0.8%). In Japan, 0.7% of new product launches carried the claims, in Taiwan 0.7%, in China 0.5% and in Vietnam 0.4%. And when it comes to consumer attitudes, according to Mintel’s research some 54% of US consumers say they limit their use of packaged snacks and other packaged foods because they think they have too much salt or sodium, and 53% are concerned about the amount of salt or sodium in their diets. However, it seems consumers will not give up salt easily. In general, 49% of British consumers agree that “taste is more important to me than calories in food,” while in the US, 60% of restaurant diners typically order what they want instead of what is healthy. Moreover, when it comes to products flavored with a non-sodium or salt alternative, almost
half (46%) of consumers in the US think that they don’t taste as good as their traditional counterparts. Similarly in the UK, only a relatively small proportion (22%) of consumers have purchased low salt products, and just 4% of consumers have cut back on table sauces because of health concerns. “Brands will need to dispel widely held perception about low sodium or salt alternatives to be successful. Fortunately, this is possible. Many food brands are already introducing stepby-step salt reduction programs that gradually reduce the salt content of their products - a strategy often called “stealth health”, as the incremental removal of sodium can be carried out over a period of time to help the consumer to become accustomed to the changed flavour profile, without the need to flag that up prominently on-pack and thus deter consumers who may perceive “less taste”. Other brands are also steering clear of the health issue by experimenting with different flavour profiles, such as strong spices and vinegars, to enhance taste while eliminating sodium.” Chris concludes. Globally in 2011, Snacks (16%) and Sauces & Seasonings (14%) have emerged as the most active categories in low/ no/reduced sodium claims. While, in response to concerns from parents towards their young children, the Baby Food category accounted for 12% of new products carrying the claim globally. While Breakfast Cereals and Bakery accounted for 10% and 11% respectively, with 8% in Dairy.

Deep-freeze method could trim the cost of IVF babies FROZEN embryos are more likely to produce successful, complication-free IVF pregnancies than those which are fresh. Using stored embryos cuts the risk of bleeding in pregnancy, premature birth, and giving birth to an underweight baby by almost a third, according to a new study. And the risk of a baby dying at around the time of birth is also reduced by about one-fifth. If the findings by University of Aberdeen researchers are confirmed, it could have major implications for the public funding of In-Vitro Fertilisation treatment. The NHS currently regards embryo-freezing as an extra service patients are expected to pay for themselves. If freezing becomes a routine part of IVF treatment, there may be pressure to change this rule. Scientists made the discovery after analysing data from 11 international studies involving more than 37,000 IVF pregnancies. In some cases, newlyconceived, fresh embryos were used. In others, embryos that
had been frozen and stored for two to three months were implanted. Standard practice is to choose the best embryos for fresh transfer, and only freeze those of good enough quality which are spare. But the new results suggest it might be wise to freeze all embryos. Dr Abha Maheshwari, senior lecturer at the University of Aberdeen and Consultant in Reproductive Medicine with NHS Grampian, said:“We found pregnancies arising from the transfer of frozen, thawed embryos seemed to have better outcomes for mums and babies, when compared with those after fresh embryo transfer. “If pregnancy rates are equal and outcome in pregnancies are better, our results question whether one should consider freezing all embryos and transfer them at a later date, rather than transferring fresh embryos. “This represents a major paradigm change in assisted reproduction, and one which could satisfy the twin demands of optimising safety and success.”
A cure on way for loss of hearing from loud music LOUD music played on earphones causes deafness by having a similar effect on nerves as multiple sclerosis (MS). That’s the outcome of research conducted by scientists, which shows that noise levels above 110 decibels strip insulation from nerve fibres carrying signals from the ear to the brain. Loss of the protective coating, called myelin, disrupts electrical nerve signals. The same process, this time because of an attack from the immune system, damages nerves in the brain and results in MS. Loud noises are known to lead to hearing problems, such as temporary deafness or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). But this is the first time scientists have been able to identify the underlying damage to nerve cells. The findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Lead researcher Dr Martine Hamann, from the University of Leicester, said: “The research
allows us to understand the pathway from exposure, to loud noises, to hearing loss. “Dissecting the cellular mechanisms underlying this condition is likely to bring a significant healthcare benefit to a wide population. “The work will help prevention as well as progression into finding appropriate cures for hearing loss.” The scientists found that myelin lost as a result of noise exposure regrows in time, which means that hearing can recover. “We now understand why hearing loss can be reversible in certain cases,” added Dr Hamann. “We showed that the sheath around the auditory nerve is lost in about half of the cells we looked at. “It’s a bit like stripping the electrical cable linking an amplifier to the loudspeaker. The effect is reversible and, after three months, hearing has recovered and so has the sheath around the auditory nerve.”

Beware that extra protein HIGH levels of extra protein in gym supplements could often do more harm than good - and may even cause sideeffects. That’s the view of the British Dietetic Association (BDA), which says it could lead to nausea, as well as damage to the kidneys and liver. Manufacturers say consumers are well protected, with only 11 reported reactions in 11 years, but the BDA is calling for clearer warnings about what contents are in the powders and tablets. Jane Griffin, once a British Olympic dietician, and a BDA spokesperson, says: “People who have these high-protein diets are now running into problems with their kidneys because of the amount of protein they must get rid of.” The body needs protein for muscle growth, and many gym-goers use it to try to get bigger quickly. But although gym supplements come under food law and have to be labelled properly, what supplements they contain can vary. They are different from
medicines which, legally, have to ensure contents are more specific. Euromonitor, which researches the market size of products, estimates that the sports supplement industry grew 15% last year. It believes one in five people who go to the gym more than twice a week uses supplements that can come in the form of powders and bars. The Department of Health advises adults to avoid consuming more than twice the recommended daily intake of protein (55.5g for men and 45g for women). Most adults will take this in during their normal daily meals. There have been warnings before, most recently from the Food Standards Agency, which advises people not to take gym supplements
containing DMAA, which is a stimulant (geranium extract) found in pre-workout supplements. The BDA argues there is now evidence to show excess levels of additional protein, taken over a long time, can cause health problems. It believes people can get enough protein naturally from items such as poultry, eggs and meat. I’m a firm believer in a lowcarb diet and stick fairly
rigidly to the Atkins regime, although it is, very often, sorely misunderstood. And I can vouch for the effects of taking additional protein, in powder form, because it created a serious health scare for me over a year ago. As I take part in several sports, I stupidly thought that it would boost my energy levels. But, within a couple of days, I realised I had made a big mistake, as my lips and tongue were cracked and sore. Worse still, I was passing blood in my urine, and, as nearly one-third of people displaying this symptom have bladder cancer, I was really alarmed. I had to go through extensive hospital tests before I was given the allclear. Needless to say, I never used this product again, and have had no more problems.

Cooking for Gluten intolerance CATERING for individuals with food allergies is now getting more common. One common allergy is intolerance to gluten called Coeliac disease. Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye triggers a reaction, this means that eating gluten damages the lining of the small intestine. Other parts of the body may also be affected. Some people with coeliac disease are also sensitive to oats. Baked goods pose a particular problem: it’s gluten that gives bread its elasticity and cakes their spring. Therefore, gluten-free breads will not display the same characteristic as ‘normal’ bread. Gluten-free flours are a little more difficult to work with than regular flours, but it’s just a matter of getting used to cooking with them. Icing sugar in the UK is gluten-free, though in other countries it could contain
modified starch as a bulking agent - typically cornstarch is used, but theoretically wheat starch could be. Gluten-free flours: these include flours made from rice, soy, chestnut, buckwheat, corn, potato, and chickpea (gram flour). Without gluten, these flours can produce a crumblier product with a less cohesive texture, but recipes tailored to use them often account for this. Xantham gum: a powder that greatly aids gluten-free baking. Xanthan gum, to some extent, replaces the elastic qualities that glutenfree flours lack. Adding a little to gluten-free flours makes the bread less crumbly and gluten-free pastry easier to roll and handle. It’s available
in specialist health food stores and in some supermarkets. Gluten-free baking powder: if you’ve gone to the trouble of buying gluten-free flour to make a cake, then don’t forget to buy gluten-free baking powder - standard baking powder contains gluten. Gluten-free baking powder is now widely available in the baking sections of supermarkets (NB: bicarbonate of soda is naturally gluten-free). Pasta and noodles: glutenfree pastas are becoming quite common now, and are marketed as such, however gluten-free noodles are not always obviously labelled. Rice noodles are gluten-free as are the varieties of soba noodles made entirely from buckwheat. Grains: couscous, bulgur wheat and semolina are not gluten-free. Try using quinoa in the place of couscous or bulgur wheat for salads and side dishes. If semolina is called for, you can often substitute it with an equivalent grade (e.g. coarse
or fine) polenta or ground rice. Gluten-free apple and almond cake Gorgeous cake which also freezes well. Ingredients 3 sharp eating apples, peeled, cored and chopped 1 lemon, juice only 300g/10½g golden caster sugar 8 free-range eggs 325g/11½oz ground almonds ½ tsp almond essence 50g/2oz flaked almonds icing sugar, for sprinkling Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180C/375F/Gas 4. Lightly grease and line the base of a 25cm/10in springform tin with a little oil. Place the apples into a pan with half the lemon juice and two tablespoons of the caster sugar. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook on a low heat for about 7-9 minutes or until the apples are soft enough to roughly mash with a fork. Do not over-mash, though. You still want a little bite and texture. Leave to cool. Put the cooled purée, eggs,
ground almonds, almond essence, remaining caster sugar and approximately one tablespoon of the remaining lemon juice into a food processor and blend together. Pour into the prepared cake tin and sprinkle with the flaked almonds. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes, and if the cake is getting too brown cover the top with parchment paper or foil.
Receipe: Gluten-free Venetian carrot cake Ingredients For the carrot cake 3 tbsp pine nuts 2 medium carrots (approx. 200-250g/7-9oz) 75g/3oz golden sultanas 60ml/2¼fl oz rum 150g/5oz caster sugar 125ml/4½fl oz regular olive oil, plus extra for greasing 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 free-range eggs 250g/9oz ground almonds ½ tsp ground nutmeg, or to taste ½ lemon, finely grated zest and juice For the mascarpone cream (optional) 250g/9oz mascarpone 2 tsp icing sugar 2 tbsp rum Preparation method For the carrot cake, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ Gas 4. Line the base of a 23cm/9in round springform cake tin with re-usable nonstick silicone liner or baking parchment and grease the sides with olive oil. Toast the pine nuts by browning in a dry frying pan; the oven alone is not enough to scorch out the paleness. Set aside. Grate the carrots in a processor (for ease) or with a coarse grater, then sit them on a double layer of kitchen paper and wrap them, to soak
Page 42
up excess liquid. Set aside. Put the golden sultanas in a small saucepan with the rum, bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 3 minutes. Whisk the sugar and oil until creamily and airily mixed. Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs and, when well whisked, fold in the ground almonds, nutmeg, grated carrots, golden sultanas (with any rum that clings to them) and, finally, the lemon zest and juice. Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake tin and smooth the surface with a
rubber spatula. The batter will be very shallow in the tin. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the cake and put it into the oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out sticky but more or less clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake sit in its tin on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unspring and leave it on the rack to cool. For the mascarpone cream, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and rum. Source www.bbc.co.uk/food

A third runway for Heathrow may just get off the ground A THIRD runway for Heathrow Airport could be in sight now, following the dismissal of Transport Secretary Justine Greening in Tuesday’s Cabinet reshuffle by UK Prime Minister David Cameron. The south London MP was considered a potential danger against the third runway being reintroduced to the political agenda because she had campaigned against it. She is replaced as Transport Secretary by former chief whip Patrick McLoughlin, former junior transport secretary. The West Derbyshire MP has voted in the past for the Government to reconsider plans for a third Heathrow runway, despite his constituency being nowhere near the intended flight path. The controversial runway
had been ruled out by the three main political parties, but the lack of air capacity in the south-east has forced it back into the spotlight. Luke Pollard, head of public affairs at travel association ABTA, said: “It is all change for ministers with travel and tourism portfolios. “It is too early to read too much into a change of personnel at the top, but it is essential the Government urgently addresses key issues in aviation - particularly airport capacity and taxation.” Colin Stanbridge, London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Chief Executive, said: “We hope this is the turning point in Government that leads to some decisive action on the need for more aviation capacity. “Mr McLoughlin needs to make sure that the proposed Independent Commission on capacity considers all the short and long-term options, including the third runway at Heathrow Airport, as quickly as possible.”
Australia changes its duty-free rules IF you’re travelling to Australia in the coming months you should expect delays on arrival at the country’s airports following a change in duty-free allowances. The Australian Airports Association and Tourism Transport Forum warned of delays as customs officials search passengers’ bags for cigarettes. When entering Australia you are no longer permitted to bring 250 dutyfree cigarettes into the country and are only allowed 50. The change, announced in the federal budget in May, came into force on the 1st September. The head of the Australian industry’s Tourism Transport Forum warned of “confusion and mayhem” in arrival halls as a result. Forum chief executive John Lee said customs officials expect to seize about 400,000 cartons of cigarettes from travellers between now and
Page 44
Christmas just at Sydney airport. Australian Airports Association chief executive Caroline Wilkie said most passengers would be unaware of the change. She warned: “People will arrive with no knowledge of this new restriction.” Wilkie said arriving passengers were already experiencing delays on arrival at several international airports following a reduction in customs staff last year. The industry bodies had previously asked the government to delay the restriction until March. Airports have warned inbound passengers can expect long delays in customs halls around the country as officials attempt to enforce a new cigarette limit of two packs per adult, down from the current limit of 250 cigarettes or 250 grams of tobacco products. The new allowances come into force just weeks after new laws passed requiring cigarettes to be sold in olive green packs without trademarks and with graphic health warnings.
easyJet introduce allocated seating on all flights now
AS part of its aim of making travel easy and affordable, easyJet is to roll out allocated seating across its network from November 2012. The airline has been trialling allocated seating since April and over this period more than 800,000 passengers have flown on 6,000 trial flights. Research among these passengers shows that more than 70% think allocated seating is better than easyJet’s current system, due to the improved boarding experience, while over 60% said that they are more likely to use easyJet in the future as a result. easyJet trialled allocated seating because passenger research showed that the current boarding process can be a source of stress for some passengers and in some cases puts people off flying with easyJet altogether. The key tests of the trial were to improve passenger satisfaction without
impacting easyJet’s ability to deliver industry leading punctuality or adding cost – all of which were achieved on trial flights. Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive of easyJet, commented: “This is an example of easyJet trying to do all it can to make travel easy and affordable for our passengers. Our customers asked us to trial allocated seating and we are really pleased with the positive passenger feedback during the trial. As importantly, we have shown that we can do so while delivering strong on time performance – the most important driver of passenger satisfaction. “Allocated seating gives all our passengers a better boarding experience and offers the choice of selecting a seat to those who want to. On trial flights the majority of passengers were simply allocated seats when they checked in. Some passengers chose particular seats, with best-selling seats usually those near the front, for those who wish to get off the aircraft quickly at their destinations, and exit row seats with their extra legroom. “We are confident this move will make our current passengers happier when
flying with easyJet and will attract new passengers to fly with us in future.” On allocated seating flights passengers who do not wish to pay to select their seat will be allocated a seat free of charge. Passengers travelling on the same booking will be seated together wherever possible by easyJet’s reservation system which uses the most advanced seating algorithm in world aviation. Some interesting facts emerged from the trial flights: On shorter journeys seat 6A was the best seller while on longer flights it was 1A On shorter journeys seat 16B was the least popular while it was 19B on longer flights Passengers preferred seats on the left hand side of the plane with seats A, B and C out selling D, E and F All passengers will be allocated a seat for free on easyJet’s flights but will be have the choice of selecting their seat for a fee when they book flights or add them later to guarantee where they’ll be sitting. There are three bands of pricing, dependent on the seat selected: £12 for extra leg room (front row and exit rows)£8 for up front seats (row 2-5 on A319 or
2-6 on A320)£3 for any other seat easyJet trialled allocated seating during the summer season, the airline’s busiest time, to stress test the new systems and procedures. The airline will roll it out during the winter season when fewer people travel to ensure a smooth transition from one system to another. The trial flights showed that allocated seating can be delivered at the same time as maintaining strong levels of on time performance and without adding cost. easyJet plus! annual cardholders and Flexi Fare customers will be able to select a seat free of charge as well as continuing to enjoy the benefits of Speedy Boarding’s dedicated check-in desk and Speedy Boarding - allowing them to board the aircraft first. Passengers purchasing Upfront or Extra Legroom seats will be given access to the Speedy Boarding dedicated check-in desk and will be first to board. Passengers who are booked for travel and want to find out if their flight will be an allocated seating flight during the roll out phase can log on to http://easyjet. u5e.com/allocated-seating/ en.html

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel
Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com
Lexus hybrid powers on THEIR posh European rivals always favour the traditional diesel engines for their big SUVs, but Lexus are happy to go their own way. That is why the ambitious Japanese brand have pioneered hi-tech hybrid power, from the moment the RX made its debut in 2006. With its low CO2/high MPG petrol/electric powertrain and luxurious cabin, it left its regular diesel-engined rivals in the large SUV market way behind. However, the chasing pack has caught up, with many now getting close to matching the hybrid’s headline CO2 figures
and impressive claimed fuel returns. So in an effort to stay ahead, Lexus has put the RX under the knife, delivering revised looks, a tweaked cabin and a sprinkling of mechanical modifications. Prices start at £44,495, and the Lexus machine should continue its winning ways. There’s a new grille and headlamp layout at the front, which takes its cues from the CT 200h hatch and new GS saloon. And the rear reveals the new tail-light design. Otherwise, the RX looks just like its predecessor. And it is clear that an equally subtle approach has been taken inside. The major updates include a multifunction steering wheel and an improved, computer
mouse-style controller for the Remote Touch infotainment and sat-nav system. The rest of the cabin has been carried over largely unaltered, which means you get top-notch build and highquality materials, albeit a slightly dated design. Still, the kit count includes soft leather trim, heated and keyless entry, which are all standard, and space isn’t in short supply, either. Occupants in the back get enough room to stretch out, while the driver benefits from a wide range of seat and steering-wheel adjustment, plus a commanding view of the road. It’s only when it comes to carrying luggage that the Lexus falters, with just
a 446-litre boot. But on the plus side, a powered tailgate takes the strain out of loading when your hands are full of shopping. On the move, the Lexus’ refinement impresses most. Up to 25mph, the hybrid powerplant can run in nearsilent electric mode, and even when the 3.5-litre V6 cuts in, it is more subdued than the diesels of the M-Class Mercedes and the VW Touareg. The cabin is also wellinsulated from road and wind noise. The RX 450h is remarkably quick, as well. It needs just 7.9 seconds to complete the 0-60mph sprint, which is just 0.6sec slower than the muscular VW. Yet away from the track, this
performance is disguised by the standard CVT gearbox, which doesn’t feel as responsive as the traditional, automatic transmissions used by its rivals. Turn into a corner and the Lexus feels composed. The steering is direct, there’s decent grip and body movement is kept well in check. This is partly down to the Lexus lateral damper unit, which aims to improve stability and sharpen responses. Select Sport mode - there are also EV, Eco and Snow settings - and you get keener throttle response and weightier steering. Unlike its rivals, however, the Lexus doesn’t have a permanent four-wheel-drive
set-up. Instead, the rear axle is powered by a separate electric motor, which kicks in when extra acceleration or traction are needed. As a result, the essentially front-wheel-drive RX 450h suffers from torque steer when accelerating hard on bumpy roads. Slow down a little and you’ll discover the car rides well, while the light controls and decent visibility make it easy to drive. Ever-increasing fuel prices and spiralling tax bills mean that, alongside the M-Class and Touareg, this trio of greenthemed SUVs is guaranteed to find plenty of fans. And the Lexus still makes the most sense in terms of the bottom line!
Aston’s ‘Holy Grail’ for sale at £20m
WHAT a cracker - and what a price! This Aston Martin, regarded as one of the finest cars ever built, has been put up for sale for £20million. That’s a staggering four
times as much as any other British car, and only a Bugatti Type 57C and Ferrari 250 GTO have fetched more. It really will take someone - a collector, no doubt with endless depths to his
07 September - 13 September 2012
pocket to splash out on this formidable DBR1-2. It was the company’s most successful racing car, thrashing Ferraris and Jaguars in the 1950s, but oddly, they built only four of them. The 1957 model has a
three-litre engine, giving out 250bhp, and it hit 160mph as it became the only Aston to win Le Mans in 1959. John Collins, who is handling the sale at Talacrest in Ascot, Berks, said: “This is
the holy grail of motoring. “It is one of the most successful, most recognisable and most valuable Astons in history. And it is one of the top five cars in the world.” He added: “Models of this
calibre are rarely available on the open market. And it is road-registered, so you can just jump in and drive it to the local shops.” Now that would cause a stir in the Tesco car park!

It was to be one of those nights for Fritzel because he lost twice again. Jambo and Wez found their groove to level the match at 3-3 only, for Ash and Neil to win again. The game was up for the Hammers when Ash beat Jambo for a second time, and you could hear the roar in La Gomera when Neil beat Fritzel to secure a famous win. Phoenix Potters have taken to life in the top flight like a duck to water, and they are up to third. Inspired by Gra-
ham, who remains unbeaten, they were too strong for The Peacocks. They helped themselves to a second straight 9-3 win. On a night of shocks, Tenerife Hammers C secured their third win in style against struggling Phoenix Knights. Harry’s lads have had a poor start, yet they were still in the match at 4-5. But the visitors held their nerve and Bobby Baker beat Dave T to seal the win. Toscales A pulled off the upset of the night as handed Dreamers their first defeat. In a combative match, Toscales took advantage of some complacency by Dreamers to dominate from start to finish. Teflon enjoyed his match of the season as he won all

three rubbers. Palms A are starting to get their groove back. They were always in control against a dogged Terrace Bar B. Palms had a little more in hand than the 7-5 scoreline suggests. The Terrace Bar A lads were cock-a-hoop with their 8-4 win at La Cana. Spark and James hit hat-tricks, but what really made them smile was the three defeats for Mouthy Mal, who still owes money on his bet!

It was a real baptism of fire for Rangers as they ran into league leaders Next Door, who dispatched them 11-1. The only way is up lads! Jardin Canario gave a much better account of themselves, going down late on 7-5 against Tenerife Pool Tables. Hat-tip of the week goes to James Place, who stunned Treehouse A in a La Caleta thriller.

Aridane’s a Rayo sunshine CD Tenerife 2 Rayo Vallecano B 0 Getafe B 1 CD Marino 0 WELL, that was easy. Last week’s win over CD Marino was a stroll in the park, yet in near-100f temperatures and an unforgiving midday sun, Tenerife made one hell of a statement. Rayo B are no world-beaters, and they will do well to finish in the top eight. But boy, were they dispatched! Tenerife executed the game-plan to perfection. The passing was crisp and tidy and Rayo were chasing shadows all day. They didn’t know how to stop Chechu, pick up Aridane or contain Luismi. The trio combined for Tenerife’s first goal after 16 minutes. Rayo suicidally played a high line and, when Tenerife stole the ball in the middle of the park, the warning lights went off. Luismi found Chechi, who waited for Gabri to step up. As he did, he slide the ball past him and Aridane was away. Now, he is more giraffe than leopard. To say he is not the quickest would be an understatement, but he didn’t need to be. Ismael raced off his goal line and Alcañiz was tracking back. Aridane’s first touch was spot-on and he slid the ball gracefully under Ismael, who had thrown himself at the ball. It was a sweet finish. And his third goal in two games. Aridane took an age to settle when he joined in January and has had to win over the fans. He is no Nino, but at the moment he is worth his weight in gold. And he had a big hand in the second goal four minutes later. Rayo’s defence were messing about with the ball on the edge of their own area. The ball reached Cuerva, who blindly passed it to Ismael. Only he picked out the wrong shirt! Aridane spotted Luismi, drew the keeper and, with a back-heel (yep, I know!)
played in the midfielder. Luismi, unlike Llorente the previous week, couldn’t miss. It was his first goal since February and would cap another man-of-the-match display. The double-bubble salvo knocked the stuffing out of the visitors and for the rest of the match, with the exception of one Mesa effort which brought out a fine save from Aragoneses, it was like a training-ground kick-about. Substitute Abel hit a post late on, but it was a stroll in the sun for CDT. Two clean sheets, six points and a sense of confidence. Surely it cannot last!

lost their third match in seven days as they went down 1-0 at Getafe B. It was a dodgy penalty, converted by Yacine: 1-0 down after just five minutes and it was déjà vu after the Tenerife match. But their players deserve a pat on the back. The heads didn’t drop and, while they never looked like getting a draw, they stayed firm at the back. They will be sharper for this Sunday’s must-win game at home to Coruxo. These are the sort of matches they have to win if they are to stay up. After the president revealed the club had sold only five, yes five, season tickets, they will need all the help they can get. The match, at their stadium in the centre of Las Americas, kicks off at 12, so go along if you can. Meanwhile, CDT will be on the mainland for an afternoon kick-off at Ourense. As you can see from the table, they have made a solid start
after promotion last season. They had an eye-catching, opening-day win over
Atletico B, and backed it up with a decent point at Guijuelo.
Position
They will be no pushovers, and this will be the first real test for Tenerife.

Horoscopes of the week Virgo
(August 24th - September 23rd) A worry that you have been having about your love life should at last be settled. You spent so long dancing around the subject you wanted answers to that you left your close ones absolutely baffled. Concentration is essential in morning business matters before Tuesday, so make sure you stay centred. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) A loved one has much support that he or she can offer you with your work, but only you can know if what you are doing is really making you happy. Don’t be afraid of change, Libra, because your sign is one that handles it better than most. Confidence is the key, as events on Tuesday and Thursday are soon to prove to you. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) You must try to take extra care with your appearance because you are going to be cast into the limelight - and someone of importance is watching. Beware of making promises to someone who would not do the same for you. This weekend could see you making up a rift with someone you’ve missed S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) There is a great deal of jealousy around, and you must not take any negative comments you hear to heart. Relatives appear to be more prominent than usual, and you may have to prepare yourself for visitors. Be nice to Leos because they hold the key to the improved finances for which you have been wishing. C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You are going to find yourself inundated with offers of romance, but not many of them are as compatible as you’d like. Don’t
Page 48
waste your time and energy on those with whom you cannot envisage a future, so stop playing games and let the person you care for know how you feel in return AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) There seems to be an argument going on in the family and it may even be linked to someone born under the sign of Libra.Try to lighten the air by calming the problems they tell you about. There is much you can do to mend this petty squabble quickly should you so desire. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) A partnership which has been going through some strain is showing signs of getting back on track. You wouldn’t be with someone you didn’t love and it is time to get on with living life instead of discussing it. Come on Pisces, bring back that fighting spirit we all know and love. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) This is a very interesting time for you, personally, as you will be discovering a more sensuous side to your personality. In fact, you will have little room to think of work matters as love dictates your every thought and action, especially after Monday. Don’t belittle what Cancerians say because there is more sense in their words than you could possibly imagine. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) An offer to get involved in a joint venture requires
more thought than you may first think. It could take up a lot more of your time and energy. But socially, there is much on offer to stimulate and entertain you, so take advantage before someone else does. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Love and romance is giving you quite a bit of stress right now as you wait to see what a certain person’s next words or actions are going to be. The sooner you get on with your own routine, the sooner you will see some action from that person, so stop hanging around and start living your life again. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Over the next few weeks, you must make sure you complete all tasks in as professional a manner as possible. Don’t be manipulated by a very talkative, single friend, into doing something you know you won’t enjoy. You never were a sign who was suited to being on your own, no matter how well you pretend to cope LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Right now, there are many answers you are seeking - and now it’s time for them to be revealed to you. This is also a lucky period to take any examinations or tests - even competitions! Don’t forget to fulfil the tasks promised to a loved one this weekend, because it could mean all the difference between a romantic atmosphere and a difficult one
