Ryanair call truce BUDGET airline Ryanair will not be banned from flying to Tenerife or mainland Spain following a partial truce between Irish and Spanish aviation authorities.

The two bodies have not seen eye to eye recently following a number of diversions of Ryanair flights to alternative airports in Spain.

There was talk of Spain imposing a three-year ban on Ryanair, which was dismissed by the airline’s chairman Michael O’Leary, who insisted they could not possibly enforce it as it was out of their jurisdiction The pact between them comes after yet another incident of the Irish company’s planes being switched from its intended destination.

They have agreed, jointly, to investigate Sunday’s diversion to Madrid of a Ryanair flight from Paris to Tenerife after a “a small technical problem”.

It could have been a meltdown point following much Spanish criticism of recent incidents in their airspace involving Europe’s largest low-cost airline.

Instead, a meeting was set up between the countries’ airsafety authorities in Dublin on Tuesday.

It was underlined then that that there is now “good cooperation” between the IAA and its Spanish counterpart, the EASA (State Agency for Air Security). Spanish authorities were already investigating emergency landings by three Ryanair planes in Valencia on 26th July after they had dropped near to their minimum required fuel.

Ryanair retaliated by accusing

Irish airline still at loggerheads with Spanish aviation chiefs

Spain’s aviation authorities of falsifying information on incidents involving its planes - a charge swiftly rejected by Spanish officials..

The Irish airline, which last year carried over 30 million passengers in Spain, is the country’s largest passenger carrier.

And the Irish Government confirmed at the meeting that Ryanair does comply with the security norms, as the Michael O’Leary, has insisted all along.

The reassurance was given to Spanish Transport Secretary MICHAEL O’LEARY has certainly won a major battle against the Spanish following his release yesterday (Thursday) of a joint Irish/Spanish Government statement.

It fully exonerated Ryanair over the three July emergency procedures in Valencia, and it also put the airline “on a par with safest EU airlines”.

The official Irish Aviation Authority report confirms that Ryanair: 1. Carried fuel in excess of

Carmen Librero. Also present were Ángel Luis Arias, Spain’s General Director of Civil Aviation, and Tom O’Mahony, the Irish Secretary-General for Transport.

The Irish Government

insisted that the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) rigorously monitored the operations of Ryanair, and that the airline met all the safety norms.

The meeting came after outspoken Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary posted two open letters on his web page to outline his case.

And just to enforce his views, O’Leary, who generally has the last word, launched a scathing attack on EASA in one of the letters, addressed to Ana Pastor, the Spanish Minister of Development.

In it, he called for the suspension of its director, Isabel Maestre, for “provoking” Sunday’s delayed flight to Tenerife, as well as having “falsified records to wrongly accuse Ryanair of violating Spanish laws and regulations”.

He wants her sidelined until the investigation against Ryanair into recent incidents “has been resolved”.

But Spain hit back immediately and, according to Spain’s Ombudsman Office, “Fines totalling 2.3 million euros imposed on Ryanair since

2007 have failed to modify the actions of the airline”.

Librero also retaliated by the Irish authorities to increase and strengthen the strict supervision of Ryanair in Spain.

So despite the handshakes and vows of peace between the warring factions, it looks as though the battle will continue for the time being.

The only hope is that Spain do not find a way to ground Ryanair and its irrepressible chairman, Michael O’Leary, who is not accustomed to taking No for an answer!

O’Leary’s aircraft are exonerated flight-plan fuel requirements 2. Diverted to Valencia with more than final diversion fuel 3.

Correctly declared emergency procedure in accordance with EU Ops regulations The IAA investigation, in which two Spanish AESA officials participated, confirms that Ryanair’s three crews correctly “declared an Emergency in accordance with EU Ops”.

A company statement

said: “Ryanair welcomes this report, which conclusively disproves the recent false claims in the Spanish media that Ryanair’s aircraft carried less than minimum fuel and/or were in breach of EU regulations.

“Ryanair also welcomed this week’s joint statement of the Irish and Spanish Transport Ministries which confirmed that “Ryanair’s safety standards are on a

par with the safest airlines in Europe”.

“Ryanair now calls on the Spanish Ministry (Fomento) to take up Ryanair’s invitation to send a team of inspectors to Dublin to examine Ryanair’s operations which will confirm, as the IAA did yesterday, that “Ryanair’s safety standards are on a par with the safest airlines in Europe.”

O’Leary said in Madrid

yesterday: “We welcome this official report into the Valencia procedures on the 26th July.

We hope that the Fomento will now accept Ryanair’s invitation to inspect our operations in Dublin in order to put an end to the false claims and misinformation in the Spanish media in recent weeks about Ryanair’s outstanding 28-year safety record.”

'It's great to be back' Tenerife Open de España Femenino THE Tenerife Cabildo Vice President Carlos Alonso officially introduced the Tenerife Ladies Open, a tournament that is integrated within the Professional Ladies European Tour, at the Hotel Iberostar Anthelia this week.

The tournament that commenced yesterday (Thursday) is being held at Golf Las Americas, and ends on Sunday.

Carlos Alonso said, “We have the best golf courses, the best weather and the best players.”

Also attending the presentation was the president of the Federación Canaria de Golf, Salvador Garcia, Promoter Maria Mendez, director of Golf Las Americas, Joan Piferrer, and CEO of Sports & Business, Iñigo Aramburu.

The Canary Islands Government and Tourism Tenerife are the main sponsors of the event.

Tenerife Open de Espana Femenino at Golf Las Americas brings together the best golfers on the European Tour, led by England’s Melissa Reid, defending the title she won in 2011, Canarian Weekly met with the players on Tuesday evening at the Hotel Iberostar Anthelia and the consensus of opinion was, “It’s great to be back in Tenerife”.

Less than a week ago they were experiencing inhospitable conditions at the Royal Liverpool course Hoylake.

Rebecca Hudson, the 2008 Tenerife Ladies Open champion told Canarian Weekly, “I love coming to Tenerife: beautiful weather, beautiful golf courses; it’s great to be back”.

“Sunday and last week, we

expect British weather, but that was pretty brutal and just to get on the plane and come out here and leave the water proofs at home, it’s only good.

“You know you’re going out and you don’t have to fight the conditions. You can just play golf and hopefully this week we’ll see some fantastic scores and the golf course is looking good.”

The 2009 Tenerife Ladies Open winner Felicity Johnson echoed those sentiments when she said: “It’s great to get some sunshine on the back and be back in Tenerife.

“Obviously Tenerife is always going to be a special place for me, getting my first win here.

“We can’t quite treat it like a holiday; maybe the odd day here and there. It’s great to be here. Last week wasn’t ideal but they are two ends of the spectrum, last week and this. I think we are all feeling the effects of the sun so we’ll keep drinking water

21 September - 27 September 2012

and keeping hydrated but we’re not going to complain about that.

“This time of year is perfect.

What is it, 24 degrees the whole of the year? That’s the tourist line, but it is perfect and I love it here. We’ve not had anything this hot for a little while so it takes a bit of acclimatising but after a few days you’re ready to go.”

On the Golf Las Americas course, Johnson said: “It suits my game pretty well.

Obviously I’ve got a decent record in Tenerife. It’s more kind of target golf, which I enjoy, as opposed to more links style, so I enjoy it.”

Melissa Reid, celebrated her 25th birthday on Wednesday in Tenerife. She’s the defending champion having won the Open de España Femenino at La Quinta Country Club on the Costa del Sol 12 months ago.

The Solheim Cup player will be amongst the favourites even though she has never previously played on the Golf Las Américas course.

“I’ve not been playing great this year but I’m hoping for a great result this week,” said Reid.

Spanish rookie Carlota Ciganda needs a top 18 finish at the Tenerife Open de España Femenino this week to surpass Julieta Granada of Paraguay as the new leader of the Ladies European Tour’s ISPS Handa Order of Merit.

Granada moved into pole position with a seventh place finish at the Ricoh Women’s British Open, but is not playing in Spain, opening the door for Ciganda, who moved up to second with a tie for 17th last week at Royal Liverpool.

The 22-year-old from Pamplona will be amongst the favourites at Golf Las Américas, where last year she finished equal second behind Becky Brewerton in a nonofficial LET match play event.

“I’m happy to be back here because I like Spain. My family is here, I like the weather and I like the course. The people are great here so I feel good

about the week and just try to have fun,” said Ciganda, who has her coach Rogelio Escheverria on site.

When asked about her goals regarding the order of merit, she said: “I would like to be at the top at the end of the year but I don’t think too much. I like to think week by week and day by day in each tournament and I’m trying my best this week.”

No Spanish player has ever won the Open de España Femenino in its 30year history since the first tournament in 1982 and Ciganda will be looking to break that trend.

There are 17 Spanish players hoping to become the first home winner and Ciganda will be joined by fellow professional golfers Tania Elosegui, Laura Cabanillas, Emma Cabrera, Sara Beautell, Ana Larrañeta, Marina Arruti, Carmen Alonso, Maria Beautell, Mireia Prat, Mariana Macias, Adriana Zwanck, Virginia Espejo, Patricia Lobato as well as three

amateurs: Patricia Sanz, Lucia Cortezo and Lara Hernandez.

The 72-hole tournament, 6403 yards / 5855 metres par-72 course is host to the 126-woman field including former winners Laura Davies, Nikki Garrett and Becky Brewerton, who won the Tenerife Open Match play last year on the course.

LET, Director of Tournament Operations Andy Lott told Canarian Weekly, “After two rounds on Thursday and Friday there will be a 36hole cut to the leading 60 professionals and those tied, they will continue to play over the weekend.”

Not surprisingly, the Women’s Open in Spain has been growing its importance and is considered as a tournament of reference within the Ladies European Tour. The support of the Government and Tenerife Tourism is part of the work these agencies undertake in promoting tourism, conscious of the lure of golf among domestic and foreign tourists as another incentive when choosing the Islands and Tenerife in particular as a favourite destination.

This advocacy has been joined by Iberostar, which has a strong commitment to golf.

Special mention also goes out for the support of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, the Federación Canaria de Golf, the Ladies European Tour and the Golf Las Americas tournament, organised by Sports & Business, as well as the list of collaborators who made this new edition of the Women’s Open possible, including Lacoste, Kyocera, Hospiten and the Arona City Hall, Air Europa, Bahlsen, Callaway, Fonteide, Coca-Cola and Ping.

The Spanish Open marks the fact that the European season is coming to an end, there are however five tournaments remaining, including Dubai.

Entry is free for spectators at Golf Las Americas if you would like to go and watch.

Holiday-maker concerns THE cost of withdrawing cash abroad, tourist trips and the cost of hotel wifi are the three biggest holiday ripoffs according to a survey of more than 600 travellers conducted by Skyscanner.

Last week, international hotel group Accor announced it will make in-room internet and WiFi free of charge for guests.

The Skyscanner survey finds

that this will be a welcome change, with travellers naming it the third biggest holiday ‘rip off’, taking 13% of the vote.

With some hotels charging more than £20 for internet access, hotel WiFi costs are a real bugbear for travellers.

Ahead of WiFi charges, almost one in five travellers said the cost of withdrawing cash abroad was the number one ‘rip off’, and with many banks charging commission of up to 3% of the withdrawal amount, this leaves many holidaymakers feeling short changed.

Organised tours and

excursions took second place, with 17% of those polled claiming these were often “overhyped, over-rated and overpriced”.

However, it’s not all bad news for Brits abroad with 99% of holidaymakers happy with the cost of a pint, saying alcohol in-resort often comes at a fair price.

Victoria Bailie, at Skyscanner, said: “Extra charges and hidden costs can catch out even the savviest jetsetter.

Many Brits are still feeling the pinch and unplanned and unexpected charges abroad can quickly amount.

While many hotels still

charge for WiFi, we would hope that they will soon follow Accor’s lead and offer this as a free service in the very near future.”

Top ten holiday rip-offs: 1. Cost of withdrawing cash abroad 19% 2. Organised tours and excursions 17% 3. Hotel WiFi 13% 4. Taxi fares 9% 5. Credit card charges 8% 6. Paying for a sunbed 8% 7. Duty free ‘bargains’ 4% 8. Late check-out fees at hotels 4% 9. Buying bottled water 3% 10. Tipping in bars and restaurants 3%

Great grapes – 2012 harvest provider surprising success

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

THE 2012 grape harvest is underway and is said to be one of the best in recent years, despite the drought that has affected almost all Canarian wine producers.

After two years with leading growers experiencing bad weather and pests, the harvest this season is characterised by its quantity and quality. Although there is still about a month to go to finish picking, experts predict that in most irrigated farms, 7,000 kilos of grapes per hectare will be harvested, which could make this year’s production remarkable.

The Regulatory Council of Tacoronte-Acentejo expected nearly a million and a half kilos and, so far, the agency has recorded some 250,000.

According to José Manuel González, a member of the board’s committee, these numbers only represent 30

A word from our editor

Just put your money where your mouth is

per cent of the grape harvest that occurs in the northern region, composed of the Municipalities of Tacoronte, El Sauzal, La Matanza, La Victoria and Santa Ursula and estimated that in this territory the total could be six million kilos.

The technical director of the Council of the Origin Abona Designation, Manuel

Rodriguez, estimated that in his region they will collect 1.3 million kilos. He explained that the vine does not need much water, so irrigated farms, which have higher yields, have not suffered from drought. As the harvest is resistant to temperatures as high as 36 degrees, the results have been good. However, the heat wave in May caused

the grapes to stop growing for a time and so they are not their usual size.

Because the grapes are smaller than usual, he said, “The quality is higher, because the flavour is concentrated.

The problem is that growers have lost kilos”.

Nevertheless, it seems that 2012 vintage wines will prove a great success.

Teide charity walk

OASIS Fm sports presenter Adi Benson is taking part in a charity walk this Sunday, which will take him from the cable car station at Teide to the Terrace Bar, Amarilla Golf.

The route, which is downhill all the way is approximately a distance of 33 miles and expected finish time is between 4pm and 5pm. Adi and his walking buddy Dan will begin their quest at 7am.

The sponsored walk is in aid of Tenerife Bomberos; the fire stations badly need equipment replacing that which was lost in the recent island fires.

On Sunday at the Terrace Bar there is a grand fundraising event from 3pm, to welcome them back, with ten acts confirmed, everything from the Acoustic Knights, Guitar Heroes, Vocal Impressionists to a snake & fire show. Plus a great raffle, BBQ and plenty going on for the kids. Donations can be made at the bar on Sunday or via the website www. tenerifebomberos.com.

THIS is my favourite story this week; I’m aware that it’s slightly biased as it relates to my home city but it’s such a cool idea – almost like real life monopoly.

The city of Bristol in the UK is launching its own currency.

If the world has passed you by for the last five years the current situation is that the world’s financial system is in turmoil.

So, Bristol has decided to print their own money; the Bristol pound will be in notes and can be traded electronically. The local council has agreed and it is backed by a credit union.

Bristol is not the first area in Britain to take this step, but, it is a first by stating that you can pay local business taxes with the currency.

Ciaran Mundy, the director of the Bristol Pound, explained the concept behind the currency.

“Big companies just hoover up money from a local area,” he told me.

“Money goes into their financial system and typically out into London and into the offshore sector.”

The difference with the Bristol pound is they are just that - Bristol pounds must stay in the city. Spend a tenner in a Bristol bakery, and they must use it to pay their suppliers or staff.

In turn, those companies will have to use the money within the local economy.

“We’ll be driving more business to independent traders, and ensuring the diversity of our city, which is one of the things people love about Bristol,” Mr

Mundy said. Already more than 100 firms are signed up from family bakeries to the theatre to Thatcher’s Cider.

They will print notes in £1, £5, £10 and £20 denominations. A Bristol pound will be worth exactly £1 sterling.

People will open an account with the Bristol Credit Union, which is administering the scheme, and for every pound sterling they deposit, they will be credited one Bristol pound.

Since the money is held by the credit union, which has FSA backing, it will have the same protection as any other deposit account.

The standard government scheme guarantees up to £85,000 per person.

Bristolians are being challenged to help design the new notes.

The organisers have already created a logo, and produced security features to counter forgery.

There is a silver hologram design, a gold foil strip with serial numbers embedded, and other features which are impossible to reproduce.

Local people can submit their ideas on the Bristol Pound’s website.

The competition will run until the end of February, and the notes will be launched in May. The organisers hope that £1m worth of the currency will be spent this year, having a tangible positive impact on the city’s high street.

“The Bristol Pound is not going to solve the world’s economic problems,” Mr Mundy said, “But it’s something that local people can do to support their city together.”

The not-for-profit project is run by the Bristol Pound Community Interest Company and Bristol Credit Union.

NEWS IN BRIEF New courses for the Unemployed in Arona Arona City Council, through its Department of Economic Development,is launching new courses for the unemployed.

These include a food handler course, with 445 places and, with 50 places, an occupational risk prevention in construction course, (basic level). The price for enrolment in these courses varies according to the circumstances of each individual. To enrol just apply to the Citizen Service Offices (SAC) in Las Galletas or Los Cristianos. The registration period is now open. The courses will be held at the Los Cristianos Cultural Centre from next October to December in morning and afternoon sessions.

Claims process extended The Canarian Government has announced that it has extended the claims period to two months, starting September 18, for assistance resulting from damage from the recent fires. Aid will be available for repairs to homes, according to the announcement in the Boletín Oficial de Canarias (BOC). The claims period originally began on August 21st for one month. Claims must be accompanied by an estimate from a qualified person and it has been the delay in preparing such reports that has prompted to Government to extend the claim period.

Arona rubbish collection Residents in Arona have now been affected by the lack of weekend rubbish removal. The situation has provoked anger particularly among the communities of Valle San Lorenzo, La Camella, Cabo Blanco and Buzanada.

According to local neighbourhood representatives, many of the containers were filled on Saturday and Sunday, created not only a bad smell but also a negative image. Apparently, there has been no announcement from Arona Council to explain the situation.

The Museum of Nature and Man is TripAdvisor tip The Museum of Nature and Man, El Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre, part of the Cabildo’s Museums and Centres Agency, has been recognised and recommended on the travel portal TripAdvisor, the largest website in the world.

The recommendation is due to the good reviews that travellers and visitors have given to the Museum, which places it as the top attraction among the 22 that relate to the city of Santa Cruz.Travellers have written comments such as, “a beautiful tour of the volcanic nature of the islands and the living history of the Guanches”, or “a landmark in the city to know the past of the island.” These and other good reviews have earned the recognition from the prestigious travel site. The TripAdvisor page has more than 50 million people visiting each month for advice and recommendations on hotels, restaurants and attractions.

Costa del Silencio’s superb Garañaña park ready soon The channelling works on the Guargacho barranco, in the section that runs through the Garañaña park from north to south in Costa del Silencio, have just been completed, with a budget of a little over 300,000 euros. A number of local officials, including Arona Mayor Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, visited the area to observe in situ the state in which these works have left the park. According to the Mayor, "This was the last major detail to be completed before this extraordinary park, which covers some 60,000 square metres, can be commissioned for use". Gonzalez Reveron added, “What’s left now are a couple of final touches, and some are already being processed, such as Unelco providing lighting for the park at night, and also the installation of the climbing wall, after the first one was burned. We have already made the necessary arrangements for the purchase of a new wall, recently approved with a budget of 90,000 euros”.

Tenerife joins nation-wide anti-austerity protests TENS of thousands of people have marched in Spain to demand a referendum on austerity measures enacted

by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s administration.

Here in the Canaries, thousands joined the midSeptember protest in both Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, including many union members, public sector workers and unemployed.

Over in the mainland, eight marches drawing thousands of people from different parts

of the country converged on Madrid’s downtown Plaza de Colon, joined by teachers, health and social workers and other public-sector employees.

These latest anti-austerity marches, organised by the Social Summit, which comprises 150 grassroots organisations and Spain’s biggest labour unions, were held under the banner “Let’s Go! They want to ruin the country. We have to stop it!”

In speeches at the close of the march, the heads of Spain’s UGT and CCOO labour federations, Candido Mendez and Ignacio Fernandez Toxo, urged Rajoy to pay heed to the citizens’ rejection of his budget cuts and said he

holds the key to avoiding another general strike.

Shortly after taking office last December, the conservative premier overhauled Spain’s labour law to make it easier for firms to hire and fire workers, a measure that triggered a 24hour general strike in late March.

His government has also opted for a series of austerity measures, including increasing the valueadded tax and reducing unemployment benefits, to bring Spain’s budget deficit into line with European Union mandates.

Those moves have been widely unpopular in this country, where the

unemployment rate stands at nearly 25 per cent and more than 50 per cent among young people.

The Social Summit’s declaration demands that the Spanish government hold a plebiscite on a sovereign bailout, which the unions say the government is negotiating with the European Union.

The euro zone already has approved a 100 billion-euro rescue of Spain’s troubled banks.

Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos, for his part, said the Rajoy government is aware it is asking society to make sacrifices but they are “unavoidable” in putting the country on a path to recovery.

Earth moves in El Hierro again!

VOLCANIC activity on El Hierro has resumed far below the Earth’s surface in a similar but slightly stronger manner to last July, according to the director of the Canary islands National Geographic Institute, (IGN,) Maria Jose Blanco.

Blanco said that a peak of seismic activity is under way, a continuation of the volcanic process, (a shifting of magma many kilometres under ground,) that began in July 2011. Although the main activity ended at the time

with an undersea eruption, apparently that did not mean that the overall activity

had come to a definitive conclusion. The IGN chief could not specify how long this new round of activity would last, although she did say that seismic peaks like the current one would, in all likelihood, continue to occur.

Therefore, she said, the IGN is studying the idea of convening the scientific committee of the Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk in the Canaries after this reactivation in the depths of the El Hierro volcano, where over the past three days more than 330 minor seismic

movements have been registered.

Officials with the regional government of the Canaries said that experts had verified “an acceleration of released seismic energy accompanied by deformations” in underground structures.

For the present, the largest movement registered so far was measured at 3.2 on the Richter scale, which was felt on Saturday for some 13 hours and 15 minutes by the residents of the municipality of El Pinar, according to IGN data.

New reforms will spell aid request SPAIN told euro zone finance ministers that it will set clear deadlines for structural reforms by the end of the month, in a move that European diplomats said would pave the way for an aid request before long, to help it tackle its debt pile.

Madrid’s borrowing costs have fallen sharply since the European Central Bank said it was ready to buy Spanish bonds, but big borrowing needs before the end of the year and a deepening recession mean most analysts and policymakers believe it is only a matter of time before the country will require help.

“We will adopt a new set of reforms to boost growth ... It will be in line with the recommendations of the European Commission,” Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told reporters after meeting his peers in Cyprus.

Euro zone policymakers have said that to get aid, Spain would need to adhere to strict conditions, which usually entail detailed reforms and concrete deadlines, rather than vague plans.

Madrid’s move is therefore seen by EU diplomats as a precursor to a request that pre-empts any euro zone calls for further reforms in an attempt to limit a political backlash at home, although de Guindos insisted the package was unrelated to any bailout terms.

“This is a blueprint for a fiscal and structural programme, this is a blueprint for a way forward,” said one senior EU diplomat on condition of

anonymity.“Yes, we’re moving towards a bailout but now a decision has to be taken by Rajoy. And right now, it’s hard to know his intentions,” the diplomat added. The new reform programme will be made public along with the 2013 budget on September 28th, the day Madrid will also publish the results of a final stress test of the country’s banking sector.

A second official said the measures, if credible, would give a clear indication that Spain was willing to seek aid.

“They are discussing it with the European Commission,

which gave rather positive feedback. If the measures are credible, the way is clear,” the source said.

Both EU officials said the most likely form of help Spain could seek was a precautionary credit line from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) rescue fund. Such a credit line would allow the ESM to buy Spanish bonds at auctions, leaving the European Central Bank free to intervene on the secondary market. The euro zone could barely afford a full bailout of the sort given to Greece, Portugal and Ireland.

“No one wants Spain to ask for a full bailout, that wasn’t even discussed,” French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said. Euro zone officials have speculated Spain could apply in time for the next meeting of euro zone finance ministers on October 8th.

Madrid has so far resisted austerity conditions that go beyond the EU policy recommendations it is already implementing, while north European creditors led

by Germany are adamant that any aid would come on tougher terms.

YOUR EMAILS Dear Editor, I sent you an email back in June this year, which you very kindly printed. Mariano Cavero, of Direct Telecom, read it in your paper and, via you, contacted me.

My problem was that for five years, I had been trying unsuccessfully to get a land-line from Movistar to enable me to have ADSL. I had just a radio phone.

Mariano said he would not promise to solve my problem but he said he would do his best, which I appreciated.

Just a few months have now passed and thanks to his and Direct Telecom’s tireless quest, I now have a landline and ADSL. Had it not been for you publishing my email, none of this would have happened. THANK YOU. Direct Telecom, Mariano and all its staff have worked their little socks off to get me connected where other companies just took Movistar’s NO as the end.

They made endless calls on my behalf, keeping me informed all the time, and they succeeded.

Now, with a package from Direct Telecom, I have internet connection, free local calls, some free calls to the UK and, to top it all, free, yes free, British television.

I only recently got ADSL, and the assistance from DT’s technical chaps was excellent. They were very patient with me “a silver surfer”. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for any of the staff.

Las Galletas gets new posters THE Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, a branch of the Canary Island Government’s Department of Employment, Industry and Commerce, is subsidising the creation and placement of

21 September - 27 September 2012

new signs in Las Galletas.

The informative poster design, which shows the actual Commercial Open Zone, has an information display panel, and is installed in different parts of Las Galletas.

With this action the municipality of Arona wants to take the initiative and create open shopping areas in the town, offering businesses in the area new trade opportunities and encourage shoppers to visit.

Great work, and I would recommend Direct Telecom to anyone. Now, they will deal with everything relating to my home communications, which means no more dealings with Movistar. What a relief!

So, a story with a happy ending, albeit five years down the line. Thanks to all concerned.

A happy “silver surfer”

Siam Park celebrates

Minister defends his changes to the Penal Code STATE Government Minister for Justice, Alberto RuizGallardón, recently spoke in defence of his first reform of the Penal Code.

The changes, he said, are designed to bring the code into the 21st century, and that means toughing up on many crimes that cause social unrest.

Spain’s Penal Code is one of the most severe in Europe with sentences of up to 40 years.

With the changes, the sentence of reversible life imprisonment is extended to aggravated cases. It’s similar to life imprisonment with the difference that if the inmate can show that he or she could be returned into society, then he or she could be released at a later date.

Another new measure is being called ‘Security Custody’. This is not a penalty, but it could lead to an inmate having to remain in jail

for up to 10 years past the end of his sentence. It will be used where particular danger is considered to be present. It would be revoked when an inmate is no longer considered a risk to society at large. Candidates for this would be murderers, kidnappers, sex offenders, violent criminals and drug traffickers.

The document also includes probation, approved by the previous Socialist Government in 2010, for terrorist and sexual crimes.

Now it has been extended to other offences, such as property crimes, robbery and violent crimes resulting in injury.

There has been some criticism of the RuizGallardón legislation, with the spokesman from the Judges for Democracy Association, Joaquim Bosch and María Moretó from the Union of Progressive Prosecutors saying the legislation is, ‘Populist, punishes the unfortunate and social protest’. They suggest that it may be unconstitutional.

FOUR years and more than two million visitors have passed since Siam Park, considered the King of Europe’s water parks, in Europe, was opened in the south of Tenerife.

Opened by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand, Siam Park has consolidated its leadership and continues to focus on Tenerife as a destination, offering new attractions, such as the recently-opened, spectacular Kinnaree and Sawasdee rides.

The excellent facilities, technological innovation and quality throughout its range, have been the key elements for its international positioning as one of the best water parks in the world.

Throughout its fourth year, Siam Park has established itself as the best choice for leisure in the south of Tenerife, as shown by the many visitors of all nationalities and the numerous personalities, such as famous sports figures, TV stars and artists who have enjoyed all its attractions in a lush tropical setting full of the mysticism of the ancient kingdom of Siam.

Agreement reached on dependent care funding for 3,000

THE President of the Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior, and Canary Islands President, Paulino Rivero, have just signed a cooperation agreement between the two governments for 2012 funding for more than 3,000 places for dependent individuals.

The total budget is 35 million euros, of which about 25 million will be paid by the regional government, and the remainder by the Cabildo.

The document states that 3,115 places will be funded

in day centres, night and residential care facilities.

The president of the Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior said that the negotiations have been long, so it has had to advance funding, and now feels “significant relief,” thanks to the agreement with the Government.

Similarly, the Minister of Social Affairs, Housing, Culture and Sports of the Canary Islands, Ines Rojas, said that this agreement in Tenerife guarantees attention to elderly and disabled dependents.

Special consideration for renewable energy THE Tenerife Cabildo claims that there should be differential treatment for the generation of renewable energy in the Canary Islands, an issue it has been pushing for the past year without receiving any response from the Ministry of Energy in Madrid.

The Vice-President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, has also criticised the failings of Energy Minister, José Manuel Soria, who has proposed a higher tax for wind and photovoltaic production.

This situation has been aggravated after the recent approval by the Council of Ministers in Madrid of the draft bill that includes a new rate of six per cent on generating electricity, regardless of the situation here in the Archipelago.

The decision has also highlighted the confrontation between the Finance Minister, Cristóbal Montoro and Energy Minister Soria, with his even more restrictive proposal aimed at limiting the number of hours for the use of renewable energies or the imposition of a variable levy.

Page 10

“It is somewhat ironic that a Minister from the Canaries, who supposedly knows the value of clean energy here in the Islands, is not sensitive to the interests of this region,” said Alonso.

“All this despite the fact that it is over a year since the Islands proposed a Regulatory Framework for Differential energy production. This has not been taken into account when drafting this bill, which has also not included the singularities of the Canary Islands, the need for maintaining the raw energy generated from renewable sources. Our proposal was to change the current regulation that limits the potential of the Archipelago, regulations written for a continental system where renewables are more expensive than traditional.

He added: “A year has passed and we’re still waiting for the commitment of Soria to our Islands. At that time he announced that his department would consider special treatment for the Canaries, in terms of raw energy being an area not linked to the continental energy system.

Again, the change is evident in Soria’s speech when he recently visited the Islands.

“Renewables are the only resources available

to the Archipelago and are vital in reducing external dependence, providing an added value to the Islands’ economy. Thus, a specific regulatory framework of the Canarian electricity system would result in a mix of electricity generation more efficient and at a lower cost compared to the national power grid.

"It is important to note the unique Canarian system, without implying the elimination of inter-regional solidarity in the national electricity system.”

In the peninsula’s systems, the average cost of power generation is 6.366 euros / kWh, while premiums paid by energy generated from wind and solar sources exceed that amount. However, in the Canaries, the average cost of wind power generation is less.

In the Canary Islands, maintaining the raw energy generated from renewable sources, far from increasing the tariff deficit, contributes to reduction, by introducing lower cost systems.

However, Minister Soria has claimed publicly that it is not cheaper to produce renewable energy in the Canaries, because of the costs attached to alternative systems if the climatic conditions necessary for this type of production of clean energy do not occur.

Murder suspect lived over here!

THE man suspected of killing two policewomen in Greater Manchester on Tuesday once lived in Tenerife for six months.

Dale Cregan, who stayed in Callao Salvaje around 2004, worked as a driver here. He was detained when he walked into Hyde police station three miles away, a short time after the tragic incident in Hattersley.

Fiona Bone, 32, and 23-yearold Nicola Hughes were responding to a routine callout in the Manchester suburb when they were caught in a trap.

The cold-blooded murders are the first time two British female officers have been killed on duty.

The young officers had been sent to investigate what appeared to be a burglary when Cregan is said to have attacked them with a gun and a grenade.

The younger officer died at the scene, while WPC Hughes died later in hospital. It left the city and, indeed, the entire country, in a state of shock.

The Prime Minister paid his respects in Parliament the same day, branding the

murders as a “despicable act of pure evil”.

The Queen paid her own tribute in a letter to the police force, while Manchester United players wore black armbands for their Champions League match at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old roofer, blind in one eye, had been arrested three months ago over the fatal pub shooting of Mark Short but released on bail.

When police suspected he was also involved in the shooting of Mark’s father, David, they issued “wanted” posters of Cregan throughout the area five weeks ago.

21 September - 27 September 2012

Greater Manchester Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said hours after Tuesday’s horrific killings: “It seems as though he has deliberately done this in an act of cold-blooded murder.

His motive is impossible to fathom.”

Police also arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on Wednesday, and a woman was also helping them with their inquiries.

They were both in the house from which the suspect is alleged to have emerged to commit the atrocities.

It was revealed on Wednesday that WPC Bone

had, apparently, tried to taser the suspect before he shot her in the head, and then turned his weapon on her colleague.

A witness, too frightened to be named, said the policewoman, who had been planning her imminent wedding, had the stun-gun in her hand as she lay slumped on the ground.

Both women had been shot

with what appeared to be a Uzi sub-machine gun, and were then blasted by the grenade.

The outrage prompted renewed calls for the routine arming of police. But Sir Peter insisted that his force believed “passionately” that they should remain unarmed, despite the tragedy he said may have been one of the “darkest days” in the history

of the police service. Ian Hanson, chairman of the Greater Manchester Police Federation, said: “What we’ve got are two young girls who went out this morning - and they’ve got an absolute right to come home to their loved ones.”

He added: “This is coldblooded murder - the slaughter of the innocents.”

Wealthy Americans BILL Gates, the technology tycoon has just been listed by Forbes magazine as America’s wealthiest individual with a fortune of $66bn (£41bn), up $7bn from last year.

There was no change in the order of the top five richest from a year earlier.

The total wealth of the US super-rich grew 13% to $1.7tn, with the top 400 worth an average $400m more in 2012.

To put it into perspective the top 400’s wealth equals one eighth of the US economy, and their personal wealth grew much faster than the general economy.

According to the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America, the average net

worth of a person on the list was $4.2bn.

The majority of those on Forbes’ list became richer in 2012. Two hundred and fortyone members of the group saw their wealth increase, while just 66 saw it shrink.

The biggest drop was seen by Facebook founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, who fell from 14th to 36th place in the wake of a disappointing stock market listing of his company.

He lost nearly half his fortune, which is now worth an estimated $9.4bn.

Here is the Forbes list: Bill Gates, co-founder and chairman of Microsoft, $66bn Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive of

Berkshire Hathaway, $46bn Larry Ellison, co-founder and chief executive of Oracle, $41bn Charles Koch, chairman and chief executive of Koch Industries, $31bn David Koch, co-owner and executive vice-president of Koch Industries, $31bn Christy Walton & family, heiress to Walmart fortune, $27.9bn Jim Walton, heir to Walmart fortune and chairman of Arvest Bank, $26.8bn Alice Walton, heiress to Walmart fortune, $26.3bn S Robson Walton, heir to Walmart fortune, $26.1 billion Michael Bloomberg, founder and principal owner of Bloomberg LP, $25bn.

The Hobbit such a habit with fans EU says no to the ‘naked’ scanners THE controversial “naked” security scanners are to be ditched by Manchester airport bosses.

According to critics the machines at Manchester Airport invaded passenger privacy, providing graphic X-ray style images.

The trial of their use comes to an end next month and they will be replaced by five next generation “privacy friendly” scanners thanks to EU rules.

The new scanners include a feature which automatically processes images of passengers using a system that eliminates the need for a security officer to view the ghost-like X-ray body outlines that sparked the controversy.

The new machines instead scan passengers using radio frequency-based millimetre wave technology rather than the low dose X-rays used by the current body scanners. A computer then analyses the scans and alerts airport staff where to look for hidden objects using a stick figure diagram.

Airport bosses said the current trial of the current machines will end in six weeks as legislation from Brussels now excludes the

technology. “We’re baffled by this situation because health experts say they are safe plus the overwhelming majority of our passengers and security staff prefer body scanners to frisking and it’s frustrating that Brussels has allowed this successful trial to end”, said Andrew Harrison, chief operating officer at MAG, Manchester Airport’s parent company.

“Our security surveys and those run by the Department for Transport show passengers regularly rate their experience at Manchester as one of the best security processes in the UK if not Europe.

“There’s no doubt that body scanners play a big part in these results. That’s why we are once again investing in new next generation scanner technology where the human examination of images is automated.”

Five new security scanners in total will start to be installed across all three terminals and transfer lounges at Manchester Airport from October 1 in a trial expected to last three months. In the meantime, an additional 55 full-time security staff have been employed.

A TRAILER for the first film in the Hobbit trilogy has been released in time for Tolkien Week, to the delight of fans worldwide.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson, will hit cinemas in December.

The trailer made its debut on broadcast and online media, and is being shown in cinemas globally.

A week-long Tolkien celebration this year coincides with the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit, a novel by JRR Tolkien .

Tolkien fans the world over celebrate annually by having parties and feasts emulating the Hobbit celebrations, as described in the books.

Tomorrow (Saturday), fans will celebrate Hobbit Day, which marks the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, the Hobbits who are the unlikely heroes of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings.

The Facebook page for the film has been offering

ideas for followers, including instructions on How To Throw a Hobbit Party, and an app for them to share and collect recipes inspired by Middle Earth.

Jackson, an Oscar-winning film-maker, announced in July that The Hobbit would be a trilogy, saying: “We know the strength of our cast and of the characters they have brought to life. We know, creatively, how compelling

and engaging the story can be.

“Lastly, and most importantly, we know how much of the tale of Bilbo Baggins, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer and the Battle of Dol Guldur would remain untold if we did not fully realise this complex and wonderful adventure.”

In the film, Sir Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf, the

character he played in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, with Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins.

Other stars include Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis, as Gollum.

The first film will be released on December 14, with the second film a year later and the third episode in the summer of 2014.

a survival suit and drifted safely to shore.

Meanwhile Ryan, who was able to grab a 4ft x 4ft fish bin and jump inside, sang songs before being spotted.

Mr Harris said he sang Rudolf, the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Row, Row, Row Your Boat to keep himself going.

“I never thought I was going to die, but I was worried about Mac,” said the grateful youngster.

IT doesn’t go on sale until today (Friday), but Apple’s latest iPhone is guaranteed to be a best-seller.

The company says it has already received two million worldwide orders for the new iPhone 5 in just 24 hours.

The phone, which is thinner and lighter than previous models and can use the newly-announced 4G network, will cost from 661 euros (£529). The 32GB model sells for 748 euros (£599) and the 64GB version costing another 125 euros (£100).

The phone, which will be available at 34 Apple stores, weighs just 112g, has a 4in screen - ½in bigger than

previous models - and a more powerful A6 chip.

Its voice-control software Siri, first employed in the iPhone 4S, has been updated and users can ask it to recommend films and restaurants, and update their Facebook accounts verbally.

The struggle to dominate the mobile and tablet market has become increasingly heated recently, with Apple’s

competitors taking it on with a series of new products.

Nokia and Microsoft recently joined forces to launch two new phones, which will run on the Windows operating system.

Online retailer Amazon has also unveiled new models of its Kindle Fire tablets, which were previously not for sale in the UK. These are touted as rivals to the best-selling iPad.

An MoD spokesman said: “Mother and baby are both in a stable condition and are receiving the best possible care.

“It is not military policy to allow servicewomen to deploy on operations if they are pregnant. In this instance, the MoD was unaware of her pregnancy.

The Camp Bastion hospital is one of the best-equipped in the world, with portable X-ray machines, an operating theatre, CAT scanner and an

intensive care unit capable of treating up to 20 seriously-ill patients.

A military source said: ‘This has left us gobsmacked.

You prepare yourself for dealing with warwounded at Bastion, but not a mother giving birth to a baby. It is the talk of the camp.”

Nearly 200 troops have discovered they were pregnant at war since 2003 - forcing commanders to send them straight back to Britain. But this is the first time a UK soldier has given birth in Afghanistan.

A BRITISH servicewoman, who has given birth while serving in Afghanistan, says she was unaware of being pregnant!

The Fijian woman, said to be a gunner with the Royal Artillery, had a son at Camp Bastion Field Hospital, Helmand Province, on Tuesday.

Was Jesus really a married man?

BELIEVE it or not, a centuries-old papyrus fragment suggests that some early Christians might have believed Jesus was married.

The fragment, written in Coptic - a language used by Egyptian Christians - says in part: “Jesus said to them, ‘My wife’ …”

Professor Karen King, of Harvard Divinity School, announced the findings of the 1½in x3in, honeycoloured fragment on Tuesday in Rome at the International Association for Coptic Studies.

But the professor wrote in a draft of her analysis of the fragment: “This does not, however, provide evidence that the historical Jesus was married.”

She also told reporters: “This new piece of papyrus evidence does not prove that Jesus was married; nor does it prove he was not married. The earliest reliable historical tradition is completely silent on that.

“So we’re in the same

Page 14

position as we were before it was found. We don’t know if he was married or not.”

The owner of the fragment, a private collector, brought the fragment to Harvard to be examined last December.

Prof King then brought it to the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, where director Roger Bagnall, an expert on papyrus, determined it was authentic, Other ancient writings about the life of Jesus have suggested he may have been married to Mary Magdalene, a close disciple.

Author Dan Brown also used the idea of Jesus being married as a jumpingoff point for his bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code.

Darrell Bock, a senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, aid: “There’s no indication we have that Jesus was married.

One could say the text is silent on his marital status because there was nothing to say.”

Loner who left £123 was worth millions AUTHORITIES in Nevada’s Carson City received the shock of their lives when they searched the home of a man who died alone in apparent poverty.

Walter Samaszko Jr left just $200 (£123) in his bank account, but the search uncovered a fortune, including gold bars and coins, valued at $7m (£4.3m).

Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover told the Los Angeles Times: “You never anticipate running into anything like this.

“It was a run-of-the-mill home that still had orange shag carpet. This guy was everybody’s next-door neighbour.”

The 69-year-old was described as a loner who kept himself to himself. He had been dead for at least a month when officials were alerted after worried neighbours discovered his body.

The pensioner, who’d had heart trouble, had lived in the house since the 1960s,

sharing it with his mother until her death in 1992.

Mr Glover, who said the gold was found by workers clearing the property, added: “He was a hoarder. There was everything inside that home you could think of. ”The workers found a “crawl” space from the garage, which led to everything else. He was apparently buying gold from a local coin dealer. We found it in sealed boxes marked

‘books’. “We also found gold wrapped in tin foil stored in ammunition boxes. There was just more and more. We even found a family silver set with rolls of $20s and Mexican fivepeso coins.”

The gold coins had been minted as early as the 1840s in countries which also included England, Austria and South Africa.

Based on its weight, Mr Glover said the haul was

worth around $7m, but the figure could be higher because some of the coins appeared to be collector’s items.

Mr Samaszko’s entire fortune will go to his nearest relative, a first cousin who lives in San Rafael, California.

She was tracked down by investigators using a list of people who had attended his mother’s funeral 20 years earlier.

The Take That leader and Lord Lloyd Webber will play grand pianos as they perform Sing, the chart-topping single they composed for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The track was recorded with artists from around the world in many locations, including the Military Wives choir.

Facebook whip-round comes to rescue of a daredevil high-flier DARE-DEVIL Dan Hunt, who disappeared after speedflying in Switzerland, was found alive after four days - thanks to his friends.

He began his flight in the Alps on Saturday with two friends, but never arrived at their agreed meeting place after the extreme-sport adventure. The 33-year-old, who runs an organic food shop in London, took off at more than 11,000ft high from the Jungfraujoch, in the Lauterbrunnen mountain area - a favourite region with extreme-sport fans.

But despite a successful launch, he failed to land, so search-and-rescue teams were dispatched to the area, to no avail. When his insurance money ran out, things looked desperate for Dan, but that’s when his friends and family stepped in with their own rescue mission.

Their Facebook appeal raised more than £16,000, which was spent hiring six helicopters, expert mountain guides and search dogs, who scoured the glacier and surrounding area.

Finally, at around mid-day on Tuesday, Dan was located,

sitting in a cave 40ft wide and 150ft deep at the bottom of the gorge, with just a broken ankle and no other apparent injuries.

Rescue workers were able to pull him to safety with a harness, and he was whisked off to hospital.

Close friend Lisa Carnie, a speed-flyer herself who helped the rescue effort, told Sky News online: “It is an amazing relief that we pulled it off. We always thought we would find him and that he had the skills to see him through until then.”

Dan later issued a message, saying: “I am so grateful, touched, and humbled by all the help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Best friend Pedro Pimentel said: “I was trying to be positive but also fearing the worst. I have been a climber for 20 years and, in these situations, you have to keep going.”

Speed-flying, a type of paragliding, is reckoned to be the ultimate mountain high.

It involves using a fabric wing like a parachute to get down the mountain side at speeds of up to 75mph.

Manchester leading the way with a torrent of downloads MANCHESTER is Britain’s leading download piracy city for music - streets ahead of Norttingham and Southampton.

Researchers into the illegal activity discovered that a total of 43 million albums and singles were downloaded illegally in the first six months of the year.

The first-ever Digital Music Index revealed that 78% of the BitTorrent downloads - a technique to source simultaneously from multiple locations - were albums and the remainder singles.

The survey, carried out by Musicmetric, covered the entire BitTorrent sphere and claimed to offer the most accurate picture yet of the digital music cyberspace.

Analysis showed that Manchester’s per capita downloading hit 395,516, followed by Nottingham (246,655) and Southampton (246,201). They were followed in the top 10 illegal areas by Liverpool, Sheffield, Leicester, Stoke-on-Trent, Glasgow, Cardiff and Leeds. But for sheer download volumes, London led the way with a total of 7,421,228. The research also revealed that the most popular pirated albums in the first half of 2012 were Ed Sheeran’s + (Plus), Rizzle Kicks’ Stereo Typical and Rihanna’s Talk That Talk.

Musicmetric chief executive Gregory Mead said:“For the first time, we have evidence that blocking Pirate Bay (another illegal download source) had little effect on the pirate downloading.

“It is also clear, however, that availability of streaming services like Spotify does reduce illegal activity as people have greater access to music they want.

“The challenge for copyright holders is to find ways to monetise music files torrented online.”

Widespread piracy still remains the largest factor undermining the digital music business, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

A spokesman for this organisation, which represents the recording industry worldwide, said: “The vast scale of the problem is widely recognised, as is the recent evolution of new forms and channels.

“Globally, it is estimated that one in four internet users accesses unauthorised services on a monthly basis.”

He added: “Even in a digital marketplace, replete with attractive legal services, illegal ‘free’ continues to be an irresistible magnet for consumers.”

Sir Ranulph goes back to the ice age for his latest venture - right across the South Pole EXPLORER Sir Ranulph Fiennes is to lead the first expedition to cross Antarctica during winter.

It has been described as “the last remaining great polar challenge” and has already been labelled the Coldest Journey. And no wonder, because Sir Ranulph and his fellow explorers will have to contend with extreme temperatures of -9oC at times.

The incredible venture, backed by various sponsors and spanning more than 2,000 miles, will set off from London on 6th December aboard the expedition’s icestrengthened research ship.

Then, from 21st March 2013, the six-man team will begin a six-month journey from Nova to the Ross Sea. Organisers believe it will contribute to our understanding of the impact of global warming on the polar ice-caps.

At 68 years of age, Sir

Ranulph is regarded by the Guinness Book Of World Records as “the world’s greatest living explorer”.

But even this may not be the end of his incredible lust for adventure. “I’ll get this out of the way first and then consider what to do next,” he told the BBC’s Breakfast programme on Monday.

He also told Sky News: “When we were the first to go around earth on its polar axis, North Pole and South Pole were pretty rare to get to at all. Now, as you know, everybody’s grandmother goes there at weekends.

“To get to do the expeditions that have never been done - the big geographical challenges - are very difficult

indeed, which is why they have never been done.”

Sir Ranulph was the first person to visit both the North and South Poles by land and the first to cross Antarctica completely on foot.

In May 2009, at 65, he became the oldest Briton to climb Mount Everest, and this latest challenge will see him and his companions travelling on skis and supported by two modified tractors, towing living quarters, supplies, equipment and fuel.

The team will take it in turn, in pairs, to travel ahead on skis while pulling a crevassedetection system, designed to prevent them plunging into the perilous, snowcovered holes - especially

since most of the travelling will be carried out in the dark.

Students at thousands of schools are expected to benefit through an educational website which will run alongside the expedition.

“Throughout the period, people in the UK and the Commonwealth will be able to speak directly to us because we have an iridium system for the first time,” said Sir Ranulph.

He added: “This will be my greatest challenge to date.

We will stretch the limits of human endurance. Britain and the Commonwealth has a strong heritage of exploration, from Captain Cook 300 years ago to the present day.

“It is a unique opportunity to carry out a number of scientific tasks in the extreme polar environment, which will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the true effects of global warming on the Antarctic continent.”

Tenerife Island Rentals TENERIFE Island Rentals concentrate on finding, letting and managing property here on the island; their focus has always been what is termed as long-term rental for periods of three, six and 11 months.

They have a vast property portfolio-anything from a starter studio apartment to luxurious villas and penthouses, plus everything in between.

Ten Photographers, ten views, 100 images TEN-DIEZ is a movement created by ten photographers based in Tenerife, Canary Islands.

They have united with the intention of displaying a particular view of how they perceive their artistic environment, beyond the exotic geography that surrounds us and with photography as a medium of expression, using different languages and photographic processes.

Their motivation is to have a closer and more extensive interaction with the public, involving

themselves actively in the process required to create an image, demonstrating it to the audience and collect direct feedback from them, contact between creators and spectators.

With this in view they are holding an exhibition at Magma, Centro de Arte & Congress, located in Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife South, magmatenerife.es will be hosting this event from the 21st to the 29th September, 2012.

Doors will open at 17:00hrs on Friday 21st and the Inauguration (opening) will be at 20:00hrs on the

same day, with live music commencing at 21:00hrs.

As from Sunday 23rd until Friday 28th Magma doors will be open to the public between 10:00hrs to 20:00hrs. The cafeteria will be open between these days and times, as well as the Art exhibition and projections of short-films throughout.

Magma is an avantgarde, state of the art and an architectural concept that evokes the earth’s essence and most certainly contributes and offers to any event that “unique” concept.

All of the architectural set has been inspired by the volcano

and lava. Magma gives to that mixture in its structures and volumes. Magma is a building that seduces because of its external appearance and it is due to this fact that it has been designed to be extremely functional.

Magma offers outstanding flexibility with its 6,000 sqm indoor and 4,500 sqm outdoor spaces divided into 19 fully adaptable rooms. It also allows the celebrating of all types of events from 20 to 2,500 persons and the gala receptions alone holds up to 2,000 guests.

But she soon discovers that her uncle cannot afford to employ her as most of his customers have been seduced away by the, England’s first department store, right across the street.

In order to survive Denise is forced to take a job at The Paradise and soon falls in love with its intoxicating surroundings; as well as its dashing and reckless owner, John Moray.

W C CHOICE Total Wipeout BBC1, 18:30

Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram present the game show in which contestants travel to Argentina to take on the purpose-built obstacle course. In this episode, contestants including brothers and rivals Elljay and Mark, flamboyant Howie and Tina Turner lookalike Ann-Marie bravely tackle the Sucker Punch with added paint power, the bouncy Big Red Balls and the disastrous Double Cross. Four rounds of torment and terror, mud and mayhem are worth it for one lucky contestant though, as he or she is crowned the Total Wipeout champion and collects a cheque for 10,000 pounds.

Predator Channel 4, 22:50 John McTiernan's cult scifi actioner stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Major Dutch Schaefer, leader of an elite commando unit sent into the jungles of South America to rescue government officials who have been kidnapped by terrorists. But, as the group make their way into the jungle, they realise they have been misled on the mission as they discover the mutilated bodies of the terrorists.

When they endeavour to return home, somebody, or something, pursues them. As his group starts being wiped out one by one, Dutch recognises he is up against a warrior not of this world - an enemy that's not only equipped with superior weapons and strength, but also invisibility.

In the end, the battle comes down to mano a mano as the two face off, as the invisible Predator finally reveals his true self.

18:00 .... Great Barrier Reef Monty Halls explores Australia's Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders of the world and the largest living structure on our planet. As a whole, it covers an area larger than Britain but, amazingly, only seven percent of it is coral reef. The rest is a variety of interconnected habitats including the world's oldest jungle, hundreds of islands, mangrove swamps, mysterious deep water gardens, vast sand flats and meadows of sea grass.

A giant deep-water lagoon connects all of these, and many of the creatures that live in it are almost impossibly weird - from giant hammerhead sharks to the bizarre 'pearl fish' that lives its life up a sea cucumber's bottom.

The connections between all these environments mean that, not only do they depend on each other, but without them the coral reef itself would not survive.

The film is adapted from a computer game but rises above a simple shoot-'em-up level thanks to Agent 47's complicated personality and enigmatic nature. Director: Xavier Gens Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko, Robert Knepper, Ulrich Thomsen, Henry Ian Cusick

Entertainment in Tenerife Email: john.ashford@canarianweekly.com

06:00 ...........................Breakfast 09:15 ................. Rip Off Britain

Join the Q PONTEFRACT-born Sue Havenhand’s musical career began as one half of the duo Heartbeat.

In 1990, she teamed up with Bob Morley, (aka Robbie Dominic), in the duo Slam.

The busy rock-based act performed songs from the likes of Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and Cher. Close friend Mike Carlton had come over to Tenerife several years earlier, and suggested they make the move as well. So, in May 1998, they did.

When Bob returned to the UK, Sue used her childhood nickname, Suzy Q, and another Tenerife show was born. Bob returned here later to launch his own show and radio slot as Robbie Dominic; the couple remain great friends.

Sue has been nominated for Best Female singer in the Tenerife Entertainment Awards for four consecutive years. She is married to Tony Bailey, from the duo Kracka, and they have a son, Alfie, who was born in March 2000.

On top of singing, she fits in a couple of fund-raisers each month, spending hours on paperwork and behind-thescenes work. The family have no plans to move.

“I’ve become Canarian without realising it,” she says.

“So many years away from the UK makes me wonder if it would be too hard to readjust.

“Besides, Alfie is settled in school and work is good, so it seems silly to think about leaving these shores.”

Catch Sue here: Mondays: 8pm - Harbour Club, Los Gigantes Wednesdays: 7.30pm Restaurant Maria, Golf del Sur Thursdays: 8pm - Harbour

Club, Los Gigantes Fridays: 8pm Top Square, San Blas, Golf del Sur Saturdays: 8pm - Top Square, San Blas, Golf del Sur Oh, what a circus!

BEFORE emigrating here, Johnny Circus (not his real surname) worked as a builder by day and disc jockey at night.

At weekends, in his guise as Charlie Chaplin and alongside soap-star celebrities, he opened superstores up and down the UK. In 2004 we welcomed Mr and Mrs Circus to Tenerife.

Johnny believes in giving value for money while performing. Beforehand, he spends an hour meeting and greeting the audience with table magic. His main show then lasts a further hour, involving the audience with circus magic and comedy.

The show is in its eighth year and, hopefully, will be around for many more to come. Join the circus here: Mondays: 9.45pm - Luabay, Torviscas; 10.45 - Hesperia Troya, Las Americas Tuesdays: Alternately, 9.30 - Luabay, Puerto de la Cruz; 9.30pm - Bouganvilla Playa, San Eugenio Wednesdays: 9pm - Bahia Princess, Fañabe; 10.30pm Hotel La Siesta, Las Americas Thursdays: Alternately, 10pm - Costa Sur, Fañabe; 10.30pm Royal Sunset, Fañabe Fridays: Alternately, 9.30pm - Guanahani, Puerto Colon; 9.30pm - Roca Nivaria, Playa Paraiso Saturdays: 9.30pm - Gran

Panorama investigates the computer supply companies whose directors have grown rich signing up hundreds of schools across the country to deals that have taken them to the brink of bankruptcy.

Parents are usually unaware that their school can be carrying debts of up to 1.9 million pounds for overpriced or sub-standard equipment. Reporter Paul Kenyon reveals the mis-selling that has ended the careers of head teachers who say they were duped by dishonest salesmen, forced some schools to make staffing cuts, and raises questions about the government's roll out of greater financial autonomy to schools.

As darkness covers Midsomer Stanton during a total eclipse of the sun, amateur astronomer Jeremy Harper is killed by a blow to the head with a meteorite. Barnaby and Jones soon discover intrigue, sexual tension and academic rivalry are rife among the star-seeking community.

A man is struck dead by a blow to the head as darkness covers Midsomer Stanton during a total eclipse of the sun. Jeremy Harper was a leading light in the village - an amateur astronomer who was passionate about preserving Moonstone Ridge, a Bronze Age heritage site which houses a 1930s observatory. Barnaby and Jones discover that plumber and extraterrestrial obsessive Peter Groves saw Jeremy argue with Lawrence Janson, director of the University observatory, before the eclipse. Local mystic Mags Dormer believes Moonstone Ridge is cursed – the sister of Jeremy’s widow Catrina was found dead there years ago.

Jeremy was working on a secret project with an unlikely group of villagers – academic prodigy and PhD student Gagan Dutta, Peter and Mags’ unemployed husband George.

Meanwhile, Gagan’s tutor Dr Adrian Sharp reveals the murder weapon was a meteorite.

Lawrence plans to close the old astrodome and build a new site on Moonstone Ridge. An angry Jeremy had threatened to campaign against his plans, which could jeopardise the Observatory’s funding by solar energy company Panelsun International.

Cherry Healey is on a quest to find out how prejudiced we are in today's politically-correct world. Are we as open-minded as we like to think we are or are intolerance and bigotry still rife in the UK? She meets a female firefighter, a black ballet dancer, a wheelchair user and a victim of discrimination in the workplace to get a snapshot of modern Britain. Cherry spends time with those challenging stereotypes to find out how our preconceptions - and hers have changed.

Dermot Murnaghan hosts the show where every day a new team of challengers take on probably the greatest quiz team in Britain - The Eggheads - made up of some of the country's top quiz champions, including the newest Egghead, winner of Are You An Egghead?, Mastermind and Millionaire winner, Pat Gibson; the previous winner of Are You An Egghead? Barry Simmons; Millionaire winner Judith Keppel; Mastermind winner Chris Hughes; four times world quiz champion Kevin Ashman; Weakest Link winner CJ de Mooi and 15-1 winner Daphne Fowler. Can today's challengers triumph over the general knowledge Goliaths and walk off with the cash prize or will it roll over to the next show?

The Boy Who Can't Forget Channel 4, 21:00 Can you remember what you were doing on 15 March 2003? Or what the weather was like on 30 May 2007?

Twenty-year-old British student Aurelien can. He is one of just a handful of people in the world who are baffling scientists with their ability to recall an incredible amount of their lives. Some claim they can remember every day as if it were yesterday. Now Aurelien is the first Briton to go public with this extraordinary talent.

Is it an elaborate trick or some sort of obsessive compulsive behaviour, or perhaps the result of physical differences in their brains? Aurelien is put to the test by eight-time world memory champion Dominic O'Brien, and examined by memory expert Professor Giuliana Mazzoni. This remarkable documentary explores the recently discovered phenomenon known as superior autobiographical memory.

The Martin Lewis Money Show ITV1, 19.30

Fighting for the consumer and cutting bills without cutting back - The Martin Lewis Money Show is designed to help viewers get the best deals for their dough.

Speaking to those who want to save money - from workers on the car production line at Ford to the crew of a Royal Navy ship - Martin Lewis delivers a weekly masterclass with practical, money saving tips.

Each week key issues like reclaiming mis-sold payment protection insurance, cutting fuel bills and getting the best deal on family holidays are at the core of the programme.

Reporter Saira Khan will be using Martin’s advice to see if she can save money too – finding cheap MOTs for her car, haggling in the high street and discovering that credit cards aren’t all bad as long as you pay them off - in full.

1) DO YOU THINK A SHOW LIKE THIS IS NEEDED IN THESE AUSTERE TIMES? In austere times, in boom times, in middling times – it’s always a good time to save money. This isn’t just about making ends meet, it’s about ensuring everyone maximises what income they have to lead the best life possible. The extra cash may go to a five-star holiday for some, while for others it’ll reduce hideous debts that stop you sleeping at night.

2) WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THIS SHOW? WHAT’S IN IT? The clue is in the title - I’m the Money Saving Expert – it’s what I do. Nothing will be in the show unless people can actually act on the back of it and save themselves money. I’m not into issues, I’m into practical action that puts cash into people’s pockets - from finding cheap train fares to reclaiming mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), to claiming uniform tax rebates, to cutting energy bills.

In fact, the challenge isn’t showing people how to save, that’s easy. It’s getting them to follow it up. This isn’t about cutting back. It’s about people using their money better.

Most importantly, it’s not a voyeuristic show about case studies. We’ll be running masterclasses and we want the viewer to be a part of this - talking directly to them to help people make those crucial decisions.

Will this be a match made in heaven or just another dating disaster?

The new series will kick-start with an audition in which a hundred men from all over the country ‘pitch’ themselves to the three women. Each of the women will have to select six men who they would like to ‘date’ but the pressure is on as they will have only a few minutes to decide if they would like to get to know them further but will the men feel the same way?

Each week, viewers will follow our singletons as together they embark on a series of dating scenarios with their potential suitors. The series will follow their preparations, nerves and trepidation as they get to know more about the men they have chosen.

Three single girls are all on the search for their soulmate, 23 year old air hostess Amy, 29 year old single mum Sarah and 25 year old career girl Laura are brought together to whittle down 100 guys to their favourite man.

This week we see the first 50 men cross the threshold of the mansion house the girls will be living in, they must pick 6 they want to see again, which guys will come in and take the girls fancy and who will be shown the door?

With their fate placed firmly in their hands, each episode will culminate with an elimination as their ‘dates’ are whittled down until they have just one decision to make…. will our three single ladies finally meet their Mr Right or will they be left out in the cold?

Emma Willis said, “‘I am beyond thrilled to be a part of Girlfri3nds. I love to watch a good romance blossom, so to be asked to be a part of that process is genuinely exciting.”

BBC TWO JK Rowling - Writing For Grown-Ups: A Culture Show Special Harry Potter is one of the most successful publishing phenomena of our time, selling 450 million copies. Its success transformed its author, JK Rowling, from impoverished single mother to one of the nation’s richest women and our most successful living author.

Since The Deathly Hallows was published in 2007, Rowling’s fans have been desperate to know what she was going to do next. The answer is The Casual Vacancy, a novel for adults with some very grown-up themes.

The novel is set in the idyllic fictional English town of Pagford. Parish councillor Barry Fairbrother dies and the community is left reeling. As tensions gather around the ensuing local election, cracks in the picture-perfect town start to emerge…

One of the most hotly anticipated books of the year, The Casual Vacancy is published on 27 September 2012 and details are shrouded in secrecy. Expectation and pressure are enormous. In this Culture Show Special, broadcast the night before the novel is published, JK Rowling will finally reveal the exact nature of the novel, with exclusive readings and in-depth discussion about its ideas, characters and inspiration.

Interviewer James Runcie will meet the notoriously private writer in her hometown of Edinburgh to find out about the pressure and pitfalls of following up the 20th Century’s biggest literary phenomenon. Rowling will reveal how she finally moved on from Potter and the challenges of making the leap writing fiction for adults.

Runcie believes The Casual Vacancy is an intensely personal and passionate work, reveals unseen facets of the writer and will shock many of her fans. The world has changed since 2007, and Rowling has taken on some huge themes.

Now, in a UK television first, two live Channel 4 programmes will follow volunteers as they take MDMA, the pure form of ecstasy, as part of a ground-breaking scientific study. Presented by Jon Snow and Dr Christian Jessen, the programmes will include footage of the scientific study alongside a debate exploring issues around the controlled drug.

W C CHOICE Homefront ITV1, 21.00 Claire Skinner (Outnumbered, Doctor Who), Clare Higgins (Parade’s Ends, The Syndicate, The Golden Compass), Nicola Stephenson (The Chase, Clocking Off, Brookside) and Antonia Thomas (Misfits, The Deep) will portray the remarkable wives and one mother of soldiers serving in war torn Afghanistan in ITV Studios new six part drama series Homefront.

International and award-winning director Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, No Ordinary Family, The Street) and former Coronation Street producer Kim Crowther bring to life this compelling and emotional drama.

Episode one: Tasha Raveley’s (Antonia Thomas) world comes crashing down when her husband, Matt, is killed in action in Afghanistan. His parents, Paula (Clare Higgins) and Howard (George Costigan) are with her to hear the tragic and ever dreaded news.

Mother-in-law Paula, a veteran army wife goes into autopilot vowing to give her son a military send off to remember but Tasha struggles to accept her newfound status. Too young to be a widow, a single mum and alone; the only thing worth living for is beloved son Alfie.

Officer’s wife-to-be Claire (Claire Skinner) is new to this world and all its formalities. Her fiancé, Major Pete Bartham’s (Greg Wise) senior rank immediately propels her to the top of the army wives chain of command, which brings with it a degree of responsibility. Claire does the right thing by offering her condolences, and a lasagne, to grief stricken Tasha and is ever present at Pete’s side at the funeral. Matt’s mother, Paula is moved by Pete’s eulogy; She thanks him for his kind words but Tom (Chris Reilly) is less than impressed. Paula scolds him but Howard tells her to give the kid a break, he’s just buried his baby brother.

Back home Pete admits that Matt wasn’t a great soldier but he simply told the family what they wanted to hear. Before Pete returns to Afghanistan, he and Claire set a date for the wedding and the countdown begins.

Ultra confident Louise (Nicola Stephenson) keeps the home-fires burning thanks to weekly Skype sex sessions beamed live to a tent in Afghanistan. Louise could have her pick of any man in Leysham but she has everything she wants in Joe (Warren Brown). Her marriage is rock solid, isn’t it? An anonymous grainy picture message of her husband semi-naked with another woman in Camp Bastion suggests otherwise…As the news of Matt’s death sinks in Paula starts to ask questions about how and why he died and believes that the answers lie much closer to home. She opens a letter from Matt addressed to Tasha. In the letter, Matt pours his heart out about a row he and Tasha had. Paula sees that Matt’s mind wasn’t on the job. In her grief she lashes out and blames shell-shocked Tasha. As far as Paula’s concerned Tasha as good as killed her son.

W C CHOICE Wartime Farm BBC2, 20:00

Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn turn the clock back to run Manor Farm in Hampshire exactly as it would have been during World War 2.

The team discovers that farmers during the War could lose everything if they didn't meet government standards for productivity. Over 2000 farmers deemed 'not good enough' were thrown off their farms during the war.

Ruth, Peter and Alex face a WW2-style government inspection, meeting an expert who tells them to grow and to get their milking operation up and running. In the process they confront the wave of mechanisation that government regulation brought to wartime farming, whilst Peter also launches a rabbit-breeding concernusing the latest advice from the Ministry of Information. The team also discovers the chilling story of a dramatic shootout between an evicted farmer and the authorities, before receiving their final grade.

The Choir BBC2, 21:00 Royal Mail Bristol. In his mission to get some of the country's busiest workplaces singing, Gareth Malone heads west to the Royal Mail in Bristol. He wants to create the second of four choirs that will compete in the contest to find his best workplace choir. As he searches for hidden talent amongst the managers and posties from across the region, the initial reaction from staff is quite mixed. But as the choir begin to bond through rehearsals, Gareth discovers an enormous sense of pride in the workforce and the song he chooses for the choir to sing hits the right note.

Can you ‘see’ potential?

SOMETIMES, when you go to view a property, it can be difficult to imagine how it could look if you changed things a bit, or to imagine the potential of a property or room.

In this particular case, the original furniture was bought with the property and, as it was part of a well-known hotel complex, it was fairly basic and certainly well-used.

The buyer decided not to keep any of it - and when we replaced it all, the apartment had a completely different feel and look to it.

The client wanted something that looked tasteful and rich, so we used practical materials, which combined well with golds and bronzes for that touch of opulence.

In addition, as you can see from the photos, we used a mirror in the same gold tones to open up the whole room, making it appear wider than before and flooding the room with the available light.

Of course, if the budget had not been available, we could have worked with some of the original items and achieved an improvement with the existing furniture, but it wouldn’t have been as dramatic!

This week, I am also enclosing our QR (quick response) code (that´s the barcode thingy you can see at the bottom of this article), which shows our location, and an interactive map.

To be honest, I’ve been

Page 38

Downloads prosper, thanks to the high Sales of digibooks THE e-book market has been given a tremendous lift because Brits are adopting digibooks with great relish.

seeing these little dotty pictures in lots of places, and didn’t know what they were.

Nik Martyn, from nik@ theqrcentre.com here in Tenerife soon explained them to me. If you have a smartphone (and almost all new phones now will be smart ones, apparently), you can scan the barcode, just as they do at supermarket check-outs.

In my case, this will link your phone to my clever little map, and you will immediately have all the contact details for Deco

Nuevo on your phone. But it could just as easily link to a website, a video or a facebook page.

In fact, Nik is just preparing my brochure, and then I will be putting that barcode on my business cards, adverts etc, and even in the shop window. That way, people can scan it, and then read it at their leisure.

Now I believe that’s really clever, and I will definitely be incorporating QR codes in my future marketing.

You’ve got to keep up with the times, you know!

Publishers Association figures revealed that download sales showed a 188% increase between January and June from the same period last year, with children’s books and nonfiction titles being favourites with tablet-users.

Digital sales of general

consumer titles overall rose from £30m to £84m during that period.

And even a drop of 0.4% in sales of “physical” books merely indicated that hard copies were not suffering from digital downloads.

Erotic best-seller Fifty Shades Of Grey has boosted download sales, and it is the first Kindle download to outstrip a hard-copy sale.

Richard Mollet, head of the publishers’ trade body, said: “The huge increase in digital sales shows how rapidly readers and publishers are

embracing e-book reading,” He added: “Whether books are enjoyed physically or electronically, publishers will continue to invest in exciting authors and titles.

“They can do this because of the stability provided by the UK’s robust and flexible copyright framework.

“This is why the PA is at the forefront of calls to Government to ensure that copyright is not eroded, and that creators’ rights are protected and supported online.”

Rising cost of essentials reducing living standards OVER the past 55 years, real household income has almost doubled and living standards have been transformed, but the rising cost of essentials is squeezing consumers’ budgets.

New research, to mark the 55th anniversary of Which?, reveals consumer spending trends over the last six decades and looks ahead to what the future holds for hard pressed consumers.

In the 1960s the average UK household’s weekly income, before tax, was just £18 or £323 in today’s money. By 2010 however, the average household was earning £700 a week. Living standards have similarly increased dramatically. In 1970, fewer than one in three houses had central heating, just a third of people had a telephone and 65% of people had a washing machine. By 2010, standards had changed with central heating in 96% of households, 87% of people owning a phone and almost all (96%) had a washing machine.

However these improvements in living standards are accompanied by rising food, energy, housing and transport costs. They found: · In 2005, 8.7% of our budgets were spent on food but rising prices mean this has already risen to 9.6% in 2012 and is expected to rise to 10.3% by 2030; · Recent increases in utility bills mean the percentage we spend on fuel bills is expected to rise from 4.3% in 2012, to 6.2% in 2030; · Our homes are also costing us more – back in 1965 housing costs made up 14% of our total expenditure; nowadays they account for 24% of our budgets and could grow to more than 28% by 2030 because of rising rent costs and recovering house prices.

The amount we have to spend on anything but essentials has also dropped to its lowest in over twenty years and, as consumers, we owe a total of £1.5 trillion, which puts debt at the highest level since the 1980s.

As housing costs hit a record high, food has also been increasing in price faster than inflation, which in turn is changing our shopping habits.

A recent Which? survey found 91% of people are buying cheaper groceries compared to 74% a year ago, while 77% are shopping at discount supermarkets compared to 59% a year ago.

Interestingly our changing perception of what is essential means 43% of people would cut back on food if they had to, but fewer would give up broadband or mobile phones.

The current economic climate is affecting people’s saving and spending patterns too. The percentage of our income we saved fell to a record low of 3% by the end of the most recent economic boom in 2008, and while it has recovered to around 7%, the latest Which? Quarterly Consumer Report revealed 41% of people are planning to cut back on savings and investments in the next few months.

Pansy time HERE’S a good idea to keep the kids away from the telly, mobile phone or computer for a while, and it’s really good fun for the whole family.

This entails growing items from seed or small plants. My suggestion is to construct a prickly cactus garden, which will certainly focus their minds.

For some reason, children always seem to be attracted to cacti, and the great variety of shapes and sizes makes them fun to collect and grow.

Planting them together is also and makes an excellent display, and the good news is that they will still look great even if they get neglected.

The exercise will give you an opportunity to talk about how cacti have been able to adapt to the hot, dry environment of the deserts where they come from.

You can also discuss all the different types that exist.

You’d be surprised at the cacti varieties that are displayed in films, for instance, and how children respond when they spot them on telly.

It will it take about one hour to plant up, following a pleasant trip to the garden centre, and with the fabulous weather over here, you will find plenty of cacti examples there.

To get this garden growing and growing, you will need the following: · Plastic washing-up bowl or large plant pot, not too deep · Crocks (broken plant pot) · Shingle and coarse sand or grit · Compost · Cacti and succulents · A few pebbles from the beach Step-by-step guide 1. Ask the kids to place some crocks in the base of the pot or bowl. They need to cover them with a layer of shingle or coarse sand to give the

21 September - 27 September 2012

plants the good drainage they need.

2. Next, they should mix some coarse sand into their compost, and then fill the pot almost to the top with it.

3. Tell them to sort the plants into those with prickles and thorns, and those without.

Take the non-prickly ones out of their pots and plant them in the bowl. They should ensure there is enough soil around the roots, because plants like to feel safe and well firmed into their new home, and not loose and floppy!

4. Now for the prickly subject of the prickly ones! For obvious reasons, you should warn them to be careful when extracting the plants from their own little pots.

The children should pick them up by wrapping a folded sheet of newspaper around each one, so that they do not get the prickles in their fingers. Ask them to plant them in the main pot and firm them in carefully.

5. When they are all planted, the children should place

pebbles in the spaces between the plants, then use the sand and shingle to cover any soil they can still see.

6. They can water the pot gently, using a watering can with a sprinkler end on it.

7. They should then place their new garden on a windowsill and wait for it to start growing!

8. The garden will need to be watered only when the soil is dry because these plants come from places where water is extremely rare!

9. Drainage is all-important for these plants. Mix up two parts of compost with one part coarse sand or grit.

10. Take care with the thorns and prickles because some are extremely sharp! Others are dangerous because they enter the skin like a splinter, but cannot be seen, which makes removal difficult.

The nice bonus about cactus plants is that although they are generally grown for their beautiful foliage, some will flower and present the most fascinating display of colour.

THE Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) with the help of some Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) members is planning a massive ‘pansy and viola plant-in’ on Tuesday, 2 October at the charity’s flagship garden, RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey.

Around 60 RHS staff, HTA members and volunteers will be planting more than 5,000 pansies and violas for a colourful display in containers, hanging baskets and in a large open area.

Gardeners visiting the display are sure to be inspired by the colour and planting possibilities.

“As gardeners know pansies and violas are superb at providing winter colour in gardens,” says Colin Crosbie, Curator at RHS Garden Wisley. “Planting them at

this time means that there will be colour in the garden from now until spring when the plants, having settled in should be spectacular.

We hope that gardeners will come along and see for themselves. But if they can’t make the 2nd October then hopefully they will visit Wisley some other time and see the fantastic colour this border will give over the winter months.”

This pansy and viola planting is one of the ways the RHS and HTA are working together to show gardeners that autumn planting can have many benefits.

“Violas and pansies are great plants to dispel any winter blues,” says Charmay Ball, Chair of the HTA Seasonal Plants Group.

“We are really pleased to be working with the RHS on this project as part of our ‘Plan it, Plant it this Autumn’ campaign. We hope that this display will get gardeners thinking about using these versatile plants even more.”

CARL PATTISON

from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions

Back to life…

AS the summer draws to a close, maybe it’s time you thought about putting something back into your hair - colour-wise, that is.

Many of my clients seem to be coming to the salon with faded colours and dried-out hair, because of the extremely hot spell we’ve had here recently.

First of all, if you’re going to put back colour into blonde hair, then what’s needed, perhaps, is just a colour refresh while you are having your roots touched up.

You may even need a slightly darker shade to bring your hair back to life.

Whatever you or your stylist decide on will add tone and shine back to those dried-up locks.

If it is a darker colour then, depending on the severity of the damage, you can opt for a full colour to give those ends some much-needed colour back.

Don’t think that applying colour over colour will cause even more damage. Normally, the colour used on the ends is a much more diluted version of the main colour.

This will add shine, and smooth the hair back to its former glory by closing down the cuticles of the hair-shaft, which have been damaged by the summer exposure.

When hair has been totally bleached-out by the sun, then maybe it’s time you toned it down with some low-lights.

These are finely-weaved into your hair to return some

Page 40

of its natural colour, or as a complementary colour to “break up” the mass of blonde. They will also prevent it from looking overloaded with blonde.

This will also help with your root regrowth as it stops the colour showing too much.

Adding multi-tonal lowlights also makes the colour look more natural, because no one’s hair is naturally one shade.

Also, try to invest in some decent products to replace what you have unknowingly removed, such as a decent shampoo and conditioner and, of course, a deep-conditioning masque.

This should be applied two to three times a week on blonde hair, and once a week on darker hair, depending on the damage.

Remember, you cannot overdo a treatment. Your hair will soak up what it needs. But

if things are that bad, I recommend a keratin treatment, which will really improve the condition and strengthen the hair, inside and out.

It goes without saying that if things really are that bad, you need to visit your stylist for a good cut. Taking away those dead ends will make the rest seem more healthy and stop any more breakage.

Last, but not least, prevention is better than cure - and what better than my favourite of all products at the moment - Argan Oil treatment?

When applied to wet hair, this seals and protects the hair from everything: heat, sun, colour-fade, iron damage - the lot!

My clients can’t get enough of it, and it comes with a matching shampoo-conditioner and masque.

It’s absolutely ideal for looking after your hair following a salon visit.

Memory pill could unlock the door for Alzheimer’s victims A NEW “memory pill”, which could be a boon to dementia sufferers, has been launched in the UK. Cobalz Limited, a British company which developed the pill Betrinac, promises it will “help maintain brain performance and memory as you get older”.

Doctor Andrew McCaddon, a Welsh GP who founded Cobalz and is a leading light in vitamin B12 research, actually invented the pill.

Dementia is a serious health and social care issue, which costs the UK approximately £23 billion per year and causes considerable stress to patients and their families.

To combat this growing problem, the “proven” pill Betrinac is said to fight memory decline with a unique formula of B vitamins and antioxidants.

Cobalz has operated successfully in America for eight years, where it licensed its formula to develop the prescription product, CerefolinNAC, launched in 2005.

Betrinac is a patented, highstrength combination of vitamins B12, B6, folic acid and the powerful antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC).

Its ingredients, based on extensive research into Alzheimer’s by experts, including Swedish and American professors, have been successfully used to treat people with memory problems in the US. The pill, now available in the UK, Spain and the rest of Europe, is also said to be ideal for the over-50s, who may fear the onset of dementia.

Our bodies are subject to “oxidative stress” as we age, and the brain has little defence

against this. An enzyme which breaks down an amino acid called homocysteine is especially vulnerable to oxidative stress.

In the over-50s,homocysteine can rise to a harmful level and B vitamins become depleted.

Despite widespread ignorance of this process, reports over the years have suggested that people with dementia have a high level of homocysteine and that B vitamins can aid its reduction.

In 2010, a clinically-controlled trial by Oxford researcher Professor David Smith gave 200 participants high-dose B vitamins or a placebo, and then measured their brain shrinkage with two scans.

It was found that the participants who previously had the highest homocysteine levels, and took the B vitamins over two years, saw their brain shrinkage-rate reduced by up to 50%.

Doctor McCaddon has been involved in the homocysteine story for over 20 years.

As a trainee GP, he investigated a family of 12, half of whom had developed earlyonset dementia.

He found that those with the disease had very low levels of vitamin B12 and folic acid. Later, he discovered that elderly patients with Alzheimer’s had much higher levels of homocysteine when

compared with healthy patients.

Also,he discovered,the higher their level of homocysteine, the worse the patients’ mental performance.

Patients with more “cognitive impairment” also had lower levels of an antioxidant called glutathione, which is involved in DNA repair and making proteins.

Glutathione is made from homocysteine and, if homocysteine isn’t being used in its proper way, glutathione production will go down.

Just to complete the circle, glutathione is vital for making a major chemical messenger in the brain called acetylcholine, which Alzheimer’s patients have in scant supply.

That is why Betrinac contains NAC, which increases the amount of glutathione.

NAC is found in a range of foods including peppers and asparagus, and is already used to treat Paracetamol poisoning and to break up the mucus in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients.

Dr McCaddon says: “The World Health Organisation warns us that the number of people suffering from dementia worldwide is expected to double to 65.7 million by 2030.

“A new person is diagnosed with dementia every four seconds, and this complaint affects one in 14 people aged over 65 and one in six over the age of 80. Alzheimer’s is the most common form and makes up 70% of cases.”

He adds: “Thanks to Betrinac, it is possible to combat high homocysteine levels caused by the vicious cycle in the brain linked with the onset of dementia, by increasing levels of B vitamins and NAC.” For every sale of Betrinac® through http://www.betrinac. com,Cobalz pays a contribution to Canine Partners http:// www.caninepartners.co.uk - a charity which provides specially-trained dogs for the disabled and focuses on their welfare.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com

IVF? Uncharted territory is put under public discussion now A PUBLIC consultation has been launched in Britain to ask whether controversial “three-parent” fertility treatments should be available to families hoping to avoid passing on incurable diseases.

The potential treatments, at the research stage in laboratories in Britain and the US, would involve implanting genetically-modified embryos into women for the first time.

The techniques have become known as Three-parent in Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) because the offspring would have genes from a mother, a father and from a female donor.

They are designed to help families with mitochondrial diseases – incurable, inherited conditions passed down the maternal line, which affect around one in 6,500 children worldwide.

“This is unchartered territory,” said Lisa Jardine, chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), which is running the consultation until December.

“If this is allowed, it has consequences in perpetuity.”

She added that the

Government had asked the HFEA, Britain’s independent regulator for IVF treatment and embryo research, to “take the public temperature on this important and emotive issue”.

The new, potential treatments involve intervening in the fertilisation process to remove faulty mitochondrial DNA, which can lead to a range of inherited conditions.

These include fatal heart problems, liver failure, brain disorders, blindness and muscular weakness.

The techniques would effectively replace mitochondria, which act as tiny energy-generating batteries inside cells, so a baby does not inherit faults from its mother.

Britain is in the vanguard of research in this area, so ethical concerns and scientific advances there are closely watched around the world particularly in the US, where scientists are also working on DNA swap techniques.

Jardine wants to hear from people from all walks of life, all backgrounds and all levels of expertise. The consultation on the HFEA website at www. hfea.gov.uk is open to anyone.

Union’s action to restore the good name of nurses A CAMPAIGN launched by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) aims to show the reality of nursing, and to explore the reasons behind failures in care.

The UK-wide promotion

by Britain’s leading nurses’ union features ads on buses, and a website to show what a nurse’s working day is like.

It follows a series of devastating accounts of lapses in poor nursing care and the solution is to boost numbers of support staff.

The campaign features a film - first shown at the RCN’s Congress earlier this year - which depicts nurses administering drips, clearing up vomit and being shouted at by patients.

Dr Peter Carter, head of the RCN, said: “What we are doing is showing the reality of nursing, and how it takes both professionalism and compassion to be a nurse.

“It’s time to celebrate the outstanding work nurses do on a daily basis, often in extremely difficult situations.

“We have all read the critical coverage of the nursing profession, and we would

never shy away from the cases of poor care when they exist.”

He added: “When poor care does exist, there are often systematic reasons behind it. The campaign will also explore what these factors are, and how they can be tackled.

“We want to paint an honest, realistic picture of modernday nursing.”

Seven areas of work will be considered as part of the campaign, including attitudes and behaviour of nurses, and how to improve staffing levels on hospital wards.

The RCN also wants to explore how the burden of paperwork and administration could be reduced for nurses.

The union said it would also continue to push for

the mandatory training and statutory regulation of support workers, such as healthcare assistants.

And it has commissioned Lord Willis of Knaresborough to continue his work into looking at how nursing education could be improved.

The Patients Association said its helpline is busier than ever, logging complaints about nursing standards.

Vice-chairman Dr Mike Smith said: “Poor nursing care makes up the bulk of the concern we have to our helpline.

“The specifics are: not being fed, not being watered, not getting adequate pain relief,

not getting sheets changed regularly when something drastic has occurred and, last but not least, not being treated with dignity.”

Dr Smith said he accepted hospitals were under increasing strain, particularly in treating elderly patients with complex and multiple illnesses.

He also stressed that higher levels of support staff, or healthcare assistants, were needed.

Sir Keith Pearson coauthored a report into how to improve care of the elderly, which said cost and staffing levels were no excuse for poor standards.

He told the BBC: “Compassionate values are just as important as technical skills when nurses are recruited.

“Nursing was always seen as a vocation, but we seem to have moved into a phase where the balance has shifted far more towards the academic capabilities - and not enough about an ability to demonstrate they’re the kind of people who deliver dignified care.”

It’s a world’s first for Swedish women DOCTORS in Sweden have hailed the first mother-to-daughter uterus transplants ever, which took place at the weekend.

It means that the Swedish women could actually be able to give birth using the wombs in which they were carried.

No fewer than 10 surgeons took part in the operations, at University of Gothenburg.

The names of the patients have not been revealed.

But the doctors have issued a word of warning, saying they will not consider the operations successful unless the women achieve pregnancy.

Michael Olausson, one of the Swedish surgeons, told Associated Press: “We are not going to call it a complete success until this results in children. That’s the best proof!”

The university said the women, in their 30s, were tired after the surgery but were recovering well.

They started in-vitro fertilisation before the surgery, and their frozen embryos will be thawed and transferred if the women are considered to be healthy enough after being monitored for a year.

One woman had her uterus removed because she had cervical cancer, while the other was born without a uterus.

21 September - 27 September 2012

Mats Brannstrom, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the university, is leading a research team of 20 scientists, doctors and specialists, who have been working on the project since 1999.

“The donating mothers are up and walking and will be discharged from the hospital within a few days,” said the professor.

Last year, 56-year-old Eva Ottoson, who lives in Nottinghamshire, said she hoped to become the first woman to have her womb transplanted into her daughter, Sara, 25, who lives in Sweden and was born without reproductive organs.

But whether they were

involved in the weekend’s procedures has not been revealed.

Greggs serve up pasties for British troops in Germany BRITAIN’S biggest bakery chain, has been selected to supply a military base in Germany with frozen food, such as Cornish pasties and sausage rolls.

Greggs, which boasts more UK stores than McDonald’s,

sells sandwiches, savouries, bread, cakes and pastries to more than six million customers a week.

The company has now signed a three-month deal with the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (Naafi) - the Armed Forces caterer - to supply the British military base in Gutersloh.

The contract was triggered after troops were asked what

food they missed most from home - and Greggs came out tops.

Specially-trained Naafi personnel will make the baked goods, which will be displayed in a Greggsbranded counter.

The chain, with more UK stores than McDonald’s, sells sandwiches, savouries, bread, cakes and pastries to more than six million

customers a week. The baker has also launched and, subsequently, expanded, a range of frozen products available in Iceland supermarkets, and it is trialling franchise stores in motorway service stations.

Chief Executive Ken McMeikan, a former Tesco and Sainsbury executive and

Royal Navy veteran, said the trial could spread globally.

“We are really pleased to be making our savouries accessible to our troops in Germany and, depending on the success of the trial, more widely available for our armed forces personnel around the world,” he added.

Naafi’s Mike Chapman said:

“We are delighted to be able to bring customers the taste of home they have been asking for.”

The organisation currently serves Britain’s military in Afghanistan, Ascension, Brunei, Germany, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and Northern Ireland, as well as on-board Royal Navy ships.

Playa de La Arena THE Avenida Maritima in Playa de La Arena will be hosting a new edition, on Saturday September 22nd from 8pm until midnight, of “Santiago del Teide and Tenerife wines, Sheer Flavour,” with the participation of 11 establishments devoted to the promotion of local and Tenerife wines.

The event is organised jointly by the Local Development Agency and

Page 42

the Department of Tourism in collaboration with the Association of Entrepreneurs and Businessmen of Santiago del Teide (ASEMTEIDE), the Tenerife Cabildo, Tenerife Wine programme and the town’s taxi driver’s association.

This activity will allow visitors to taste the finest Tenerife wines, accompanied by delicious tapas. Several stands will be erected along the promenade, with

a the variety of tapas to be prepared by the bars, restaurants and local cafes at two euros each, while a glass of wine will cost one euro.

The participating eateries are: Tasca Donde Tato, Asador El Estero, Restaurante Pancho, Restaurante Neptuno, Pizza Taxi, Restaurante El Patio, Tas-K, La Taberna de Montse, Tasca Juanito, Bar-Rte Rincón Palmero and Restaurante El Refugio (Hotel Stil, Los Gigantes).

Tourist figures are a tonic, say happy travel agencies on mainland WITH an astonishing display of optimism, considering the economic climate, Spanish travel agencies have predicted that 2012 will see an overall 5% increase in tourism.

The latest figures are the tourism sector’s own statistics, showing an estimated 4-6% increase in visitors to the country and turnover this year.

The data has been published by the National Union of Travel Agencies (UNAV), whose president, José Luis Prieto, also said that around 4,000 travel agencies had been forced to close since the recession began in 2008.

“There was a tremendous saturation in the market and it was not logical for us to

SKYSCANNER’S highly rated travel search app, which allows users to find the cheapest flights on the go, has received 10 million downloads.

The free app was first launched on the iPhone earlier this year in February 2011 and is available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone and, most recently, BlackBerry.

Skyscanner’s free app is available in over 30 languages and is downloaded every five seconds across devices as travellers increasingly look for inspiration and plan their trip on the move. Almost a third of the 30 million monthly visits to the Skyscanner site come via mobile, while in some markets in Asia more

have twice as many travel agencies as Germany,” said Prieto.“Spain wasn’t a country for 8,000 agencies.”

He added: “The sector has been cleaned up and is now adapting supply to demand, but he conceded that the recession “most affected” holiday tourism.

The UNAV president understood that “many people had travelled within Spain rather than overseas this year”, and that there had been a notable increase in the number of people taking advantage of last-minute offers.

Prieto also pointed out that purchases via on-line travel agencies had increased by 10% this year, and that 95% of business travel in Spain was now booked in this way.

But he did say that the number of people booking holidays via travel agencies “had increased by four or five times over the past 20 years”.

Russia’s travel and tourism industry positively booming

RUSSIA’S travel and tourism sector is blossoming - so much so that it has overtaken the automobile manufacturing industry as a major profit-maker.

Also, the $106 billion (£65.44bn) industry directly

supports almost as many jobs as the financial sector four million - and generates more employment than the chemical industry.

The startling facts have emerged from a study by Oxford Economics for the World Travel & Tourism Council.

Travel and tourism’s contribution to GDP is

growing faster than most other sectors in Russia, and it will average an increase of 4% a year over the next decade, which is a faster growth rate than the total economy.

David Scowsill, WTTC President and Chief Executive, speaking at the Moscow International Travel Forum, described the numbers as being “extremely significant”.

App success than 50% of visits are via mobile devices.

The most popular destination search for mobile users is the ‘Everywhere’ option which allows users to browse all destinations in order of price, providing inspiration on places to visit in a given week, month or

year. Skyscanner has also updated its hugely popular Android app. The new version of the app offers the same powerful features and flexibility of the Android app and now allows users to add flight searches onto a widget, which can be added to the phone’s desktop to

monitor price changes or get inspiration for destinations for a specific month or date.

Gareth Williams, CEO and Co-founder of Skyscanner says: “One of our main goals is to let people plan their travel when they want, where they want and how they want.

We have reached 10 million downloads of our mobile app far sooner than we had anticipated and have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback our app has received. We want to provide people with the most powerful and flexible travel search app that’s also very

user-friendly, and looking to the future there are some really exciting developments on the horizon that we’re exploring with voice recognition tools.”

Bonamy Grimes, Cofounder and Director of Mobile at Skyscanner said: “Our mobile development team deserves so much credit for having produced a full range of the most highly rated apps in travel search.

It’s nice to take a moment to consider how far we’ve come in little over a year and the 10 million downloads number is a great milestone for everyone at Skyscanner.”

He said: “As a driver of economic recovery and growth in a very turbulent time, the industry stands apart for the sheer scale of its ability to create jobs and growth in every part of the globe - and especially in Russia - as shown by this study.”

Tui AG chairman Michael Frenzel added: “This research demonstrates the vast economic and social relevance of the travel and tourism industry in Russia, and also its potential.

“It is vital that the government puts the industry alongside Russia’s traditional industrial base when considering long-term policies to create jobs, growth and economic prosperity.”

Russia will next year host the T20 tourism ministers’ meeting ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and football’s 2018 World Cup. Mr Scowsill added: “It’s a great time for Russia to take notice of the travel and tourism industry as a generator of jobs and growth.

“And it should also make sure that sufficient investment and support is in place to ensure the success of these important events, as well as the ongoing growth of Russia’s travel and tourism.”

MINI will set the pace with their super Cooper models THE new Cooper Paceman, based on the Countryman, will be the seventh model in MINI’S ever-expanding lineup when it reaches the showrooms next March.

It will be unveiled officially at the Paris Motor Show, from 29th Sept to 14th October, but there will be just four engine variants available.

The car comes as standard with a manual six-speed gearbox, but you can opt for an automatic transmission.

Three variants are available with the all-wheel drive system MINI ALL4.

So, on offer are the petrolpowered Cooper and Cooper S, while the Cooper D and Cooper SD diesels will also be available.

For buyers who want the reassuring grip that comes with four-wheel drive, MINI’s ALL4 system is available on the Cooper D, SD and Cooper S Paceman models.

And for those seeking the ultimate in MINI performance and desirability, a John Cooper Works Paceman version is being developed right now.

Each model makes the Paceman one 10th of a second quicker from 0-62mph, than the

Countryman. That means 7.5secs for the front-wheel drive Paceman Cooper S. Fuel economy is identical to the Countryman, ranging from the lowest figure of 42.1mpg in the ALL4 Cooper S to 64.2mpg for the front-wheel drive Cooper D. It loses a set of doors, gains a few additional details to help differentiate it and, to the joy of many MINI owners, the electricwindow controls have

moved from the centre console to the arm-rests.

Most striking of the changes are the rear lights, which, for the first time on a MINI, are mounted horizontally.

The roof is also lower, and now sweeps downwards, giving the Paceman a profile similar to the Range Rover Evoque.

There’s even a large Paceman badge across the boot lid, which is also

a first for the brand. The interior has a few subtle changes over the Countryman as well.

The standard seating arrangement is 2+2 (an option in the Countryman), Sports seats come as standard for the driver and passenger, while the.

Centre Rail lets you slide accessories such as drinks holders from front to rear.

But the big deal is at the back, where a full-

sized tailgate replaces the traditional, tiny Mini boot-lid under a fixed rear window.

It means that if you fold the individual, loungestyle rear seats flat, you can actually get a month’s shopping or a flat-pack from Ikea in there.

And that, says BMW, Germany’s luxury carmaker who own the British company, is enough to qualify the Paceman as a

Sports Activity Coupé - a baby SUV if you like.

That really does make it special because it’s the first two-door Mini to be available with all-wheel drive.

However, the Paceman is more than just a Countryman with a couple of doors missing and a more stylish design, because it’s good fun to drive.

The sharper handling is down to stiffer chassis settings, retuned power steering and a reduction in ride height of 10mm.

However, the softer, higher set-up of the Countryman is available at no extra cost for buyers who value ride-comfort over handling.

On the issue of security, it has a rigid body structure, optimised to withstand impacts, plus extensive standard safety equipment such as dual front airbags, side curtain airbags on both sides, automatic seatbelts, three-point anchor on all seats, belt tensioners and voltage-limiter seatbelts in the front seats.

The MINI Cooper Paceman starts at £18,970, which is £940 more than the Cooper Countryman, and tops out at £24,290 for the Cooper SD ALL4 model.

It looks fabulous and, make no mistake, MINI mania will have followers queuing up for this model next spring.

At last, BMW can conquer the key-cloners SOME of you will have seen the frightening security issue highlighted by the recent BBC Watchdog programme.

It showed just how easily it was for thieves to break into any new models and make off with the car in just a couple of minutes, despite the so-called high security surrounding

them. Now, however, new software upgrade should eradicate this problem. BMW have finally reacted to the ongoing problem with hitech key cloning kit.

Thieves have been using the freely-available gadgets to code their own keys to BMWs and drive away cars worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

It has left thousands of BMWs, built between 2007

21 September - 27 September 2012

and September last year, vulnerable to these cloning villains.

To be fair, BMW have been working for months on a software upgrade to cars which will solve the problem, and it’s now available to owners of affected X5 and X6 models. The free upgrade will be available for other cars in less than two months.

Leading car magazine

Auto Express reported on consultant Eric Gallina, who had his BMW 335i stolen from outside his London house.

“What was most confusing was that both sets of keys were still in the house and there was no sign of broken glass,” said Mr Gallina.

“When the police arrived, they told me that nine other BMWs with keyless entry had been stolen in the Notting Hill area within the past

month and a half.” Thatcham, the motor insurance repair research centre, told Auto Express that the problem wasn’t unique to BMW and could affect other cars.

However, it laid part of the blame at EU competition regulations, which demand that the car company’s hi-tech kit is made available to independent operators as well as franchised dealers.

Thatcham vehicle security chief, Mike Briggs said: “Part of the problem is the access to these devices. All garages should be licenced, and repair work logged on a database.”

Until the fix is available to all models, BMW’s website is offering some handy advice to owners which includes: “Wherever possible, park your car out of sight, in a locked garage or under the cover of CCTV cameras.”

Knights throw away win over leaders IT was another watertight round of matches in Division One with three games being won by the minimum score, and another match finishing level.

Gaffers A went into round seven as league leaders, but sometimes that can be a curse. Every side want to beat you and Phoenix Knights are still trying to work out how they didn’t win last Tuesday.

They roared back to form against Gaffers and led 5-1

at the halfway stage. The visitors clawed their way back into the match and at 5-3 it was game-on.

This swiftly became 6-4, and Harry had a golden opportunity to win the match.

Somehow, he grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory, lost the frame and Gaffers took the last rubber for a

hard-fought draw. Incredibly, it’s the seventh consecutive time the two sides have now drawn in the Oasis Fm Pool League.

Gaffers A’s draw gave Tenerife Hammers A the chance to go back on top of the table. Even though Terrace Bar A kept them honest, they were always in control and

By Geoff Huxtable SOME great darts, a great turn-out, great hospitality and great support.

That was how things were when Nauta Bar kindly hosted the Oasis Fm Darts League Finals Night last Friday.

The cream of the league from across the three divisions, including the lovely ladies, came together to do battle in 11 finals.

Our darters, ably supported by team-mates, family and friends, treated us to some tantalisingly-close matches, played in the best possible

spirit. First up on the big stage came Betty (Rood), who took on and beat Rhi (Playgirls) in the Ladies Singles final. Yet another winner’s trophy for Betty!

Jamie and Arnie, from Bar 180, emerged victorious against La Caña in the Division 2 Doubles, which then encouraged Arnie to go on to win his second final in the Division 2 Trebles, and Jamie to do likewise in the Singles.

Tenerife’s perfect start CD Tenerife 2 Caudal 0 CD Marino de Luanco 2 CD Marino 1 TENERIFE made history last Sunday, their victory over Caudal making it four wins out of four.

It’s a club record start to the season for CDT. And they did it without getting out of first gear.

In fact, the only surprise was it took Tenerife over an hour to open the scoring against toothless opposition.

In a quiet first half, Tenerife bossed the match but were more cautious than respectful of the visitors.

Caudal started the half brightly with a 4-4-2 formation, but this changed to a five-man midfield and then at times a six, as they tried to stem the tide.

Not that Tenerife were in any great rush. Traditionally the fans, like at Molineux, get on the players backs if they are not ahead after 25 minutes. But there has been none of that this season.

The fans and the players know they are superior, and if it takes them a while to break down the away team, then so be it. Meanwhile, keep the back door locked and be patient.

Manager Alvaro Cervera has installed confidence in the team, and he is proving himself to be quite the tactician as well.

On the hour mark Tenerife were toying with Caudal, but they were not finding the knockout blow. Cervera had a plan. He takes off centre-back Bruno (who has done nothing wrong) and brings on a winger.

Suso’s introduction was instantaneous. The extra body caused Caudal all sorts of problems. This allowed Cristo Martin a bit of space - and he used it to perfection.

He beat two players and, on the edge of the box, the goal opened up for him. He struck the ball left-footed, and then

one of two things happened.

Either he miscued the shot and the wayward effort found an unmarked Chechu on the edge of the six-yard area. OR he deftly swerved a pinpoint cross which was inch-perfect for an unmarked Chechu to sweep home. Take your pick.

Either way, the goal crushed Caudal. They didn’t have the talent or the legs to find a way back. Cervera sensed this and went for the throat, taking off another centre-back!

Some fine creativity from Suso set up Aridane to score again and kill the match, only for Suso to then make the headlines for the wrong reasons.

He was booked two minutes after coming on for a clumsy challenge and 10 minutes from the end, with the contest over, he did the same thing.

Tenerife fans are the most one-eyed I have ever seen.

So when they don’t complain about a sending-off, you know the ref has got it right.

Even the home players lined up for a free-kick rather than remonstrate with the whistleblower.

Suso was the only person who didn’t see why he was on his way to the bath. The

21 September - 27 September 2012

annoying thing is that he has previous on this. You may recall that he was yellowcarded seconds after coming on against CD Marino, and he now has five bookings.

He had this petulant streak as a youngster and I really thought he had grown out of it after his years away in the SPL. He is an excellent player at this level, but again he is showing signs of being a liability. Let’s hope this is the wake-up call and the boot in the bum he needs.

Canarian Weekly ratings CD Tenerife: Aragoneses 6, Javi Moyano 7, Bruno 6 (Suso 59min 5), Tarantino 7 (David Medina 68min 7), Raul Llorente 7, Inigo Ros 7, Yeray 7, Chechu 8, Luismi 7 (Abel 81min), Cristo Martin 6; Aridane 7.

Caudal: Segura 8, Gonzalo 7, Pantiga 6, Nacho 6, Alonso 5, Prosi 7, Nacho López 6, Nacho A 6, Richard 6 (Invernon 78min), Javi Sanchez 6 (Damian 78min); Navarro 5 (Nacho Mendez 67min 5).

Meanwhile, CD Marino suffered another defeat on the mainland as they went down 2-1 against Luanco.

Diego gave the hosts an early lead and Adrian Cruz made it two just before the break.

But Marino showed some character, and it was game-on when Raul got one back after 51 minutes.

Try as they may, they couldn’t find the equaliser and the task was impossible once Peraza was sent off 15 minutes from time.

matches, notching six goals.

Murphy’s Law states that when you have your back-up winger suspended, the first choice gets injured.

So after Chechu hobbled out of training on Thursday, Tenerife will be hoping for a miraculous 48-hour recovery.

This Sunday, they host Sporting B (KO 11am), while CD Tenerife have their first real test. They travel to face Leganes, who will be thereabouts at the end of the season.

Leganes have been impressive in their first two home

Horoscopes of the week Virgo

ISLANDS

(August 24th - September 23rd) You will be able to impress many people who you have long wanted to get to know better in the business world. But don’t be too quick to judge a new person in your career. Jealousy will only stop you from becoming a part of what could be a very exciting time professionally. Events that take place now show you who was at the bottom of that gossip you’ve been hearing.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) You must try to differentiate between what is a physical and a mental attraction. You need so much more than just a good-looking face; you need someone who can understand and compliment your very deep and emotional nature as well. Watch out for Cancerians trying to use your cash as their own at the end of the week.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) The Sun gives you a lot of power, but that doesn’t mean you can afford to be lazy. This is a good week for travel and meetings, and you must use this light the stars are shining upon you to impress the person who holds the key to your career.

Virgos spell mischief in love and work, especially after Tuesday, so beware.

S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) Changes are in the making which can help you make the most of your life and the recent setbacks you have encountered.

In fact, you should be able to turn around a recent problem to your advantage as it has helped you to get to know someone you previously had no connection with.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Drama is almost certainly coming into your life so don’t be surprised if you find yourself reading into the most innocent of situations. Don’t rely on friends to help you out of any dilemmas. Solo efforts

Page 48

are the key to your success throughout the coming fortnight. This is actually one month where you can finally make up with that younger person you fell out with.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) You should be able to lay your hands on some extra cash, and you may want to think about arranging something to let a loved one know how much you care about him/her. Your busy schedule has left you with little time for the emotional satisfaction your sign has craved these past few weeks, but all of that is about to change after Tuesday.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Please don’t bite if people offer you any arguments. You will see if you step back that they are nothing more than petty disagreements, and you are only going to cast yourself in an immature light to the very impressionable new people who have recently entered your life. Younger Pisces can look forward to new responsibilities.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) The accent over the coming week is on romance, which is going to be leaving very little to the imagination!

The stars line up to cause confusion, too, so let your actions speak louder than words and don’t say anything to friends unless it is of a constructive nature.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) You must sit down and work out how much you are

Quiz

spending each month. Yours is a very intelligent sign, but you are certainly not using you brain at this time. There is no need for debt to occur, so sort it out immediately before things spiral out of control unnecessarily.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Some work you overlooked last month may put you in a difficult position, but it will reveal to you who your real supporters are at work. Information is going to be coming your way that can give you the inside scoop on a deal of some sort, which can help improve your day-today routine.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Work matters you may have thought would never come to an end are finally forecast to be tied up, leaving you with the time you need to sort out emotions. We all need a little extra attention at times from admirers, so go on, indulge them. You’ll be surprised at what they’re willing to give back in return LEO (July 24th Aug 23rd A situation which started off as a bit of fun is now starting to get out of hand, and it is important that you sort things out immediately.

There are more people involved than you may think, and it is vital that you find out what is really being said and done. The coming fortnight could well see proposals and engagements in the stars for many Leos.
