We’re right on track!

Tenerife passes the first base for acceptance into multi-billon-euro Trans-Euro Network TENERIFE’S bid to be accepted into the Trans-European Transport Network (Ten-T) has received a huge boost.

The European Parliament agreed last Friday to consider amendments tabled by Canarian political parties, supported by the #TFseMueve social networking movement, to include the Island’s port and airport infrastructures as part of the 550-billion-euro scheme.

Inclusion in the Ten-T will guarantee Tenerife a share of that funding, which will be made available until 2020 and will be used to upgrade transport-related infrastructure.

However, being left out of the Network, many believe, could leave the Island high and dry, and facing a mammoth cost-of-living rise.

A petition, signed by more

than 31,000 people seeking inclusion to save the Island’s future, was handed in to the EU on the 28th September deadline.

And the TFseMueve group said it would continue collecting signatures, aiming for 100,000 by June 2013, when it is expected that the European Parliament will finally release the document showing which regions will be integrated in the future TEN-T. Campaign organisers stress: “The fight does not end here. In fact, it will have to intensify in order to achieve the ultimate support for this cause from Brussels.”

With the introduction of amendments to the Transport Committee of the EU, a review now begins before voting on the amendments on 27th November. This process will conclude with final approval from the European Parliament in the second quarter of 2013.

Tenerife’s PP and PSOE parties made a pact,

announcing that they had formed a common front to present the 35-amendment package to the European Parliament’s report on the TEN-T. It contained the resolution to include network airports terminals in Malaga, Gran Canaria, Alicante, Tenerife and Santiago de Compostela, given their importance to the tourism sector.

As reported previously by Canarian Weekly, a number of Spanish MEPs supported the amendment, following a trip to Brussels early in September by Carlos Alonso, Tenerife Cabildo’s Minister of Economy, Competition and Tourism, to confirm the MEPs’ support.

TFseMueve is a growing movement here in Tenerife, fully supported by this newspaper since it launched its petition back in August.

It has shown how, by using social networking, public awareness has been raised

significantly regarding the crucial decision about whether Tenerife will be part of the vital Ten-T. Carlos Alonso said: “We are working to tell everyone of the need for Tenerife to be included in the TransEuropean Transport Network.

“It is a vital decision for the Island. We’re talking about creating jobs and avoiding an increase in the cost of living.

“The Port of Santa Cruz and the airports in the North and South must be within the TEN-T. They are our principal tools for growth - a fact that is even more relevant in view of the global crisis.

“Otherwise, we are doomed to an increase in the price of the products we consume every day, the price of airline tickets, and, ultimately, life.

Losing connectivity means a drop in tourism, with the consequent damage to our economy.

“That is why it is so important to support the #

TFseMueve platform because we need to get our claim to Brussels to give us the treatment we deserve.”

He added, fittingly: “Tenerife is staking its future on this.”

Transport infrastructure is fundamental for the smooth operation of the internal market, for the mobility of people and goods and for the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the European Union.

In order to establish a single, multi-modal network that integrates land, sea and air transport networks throughout the EU, the European policy-makers decided to establish the trans-European transport network, allowing goods and people to circulate quickly and easily between Member States and, thus, assuring international connections.

Establishing an efficient TEN-T has constituted a key element in the relaunched Lisbon Strategy

for competitiveness and employment in Europe.

If Europe is to fulfil its economic and social potential, it is essential to build the missing links.

The cost of EU infrastructure development to match the demand for transport has been estimated at over 1.5 trillion euros for 2010-2030.

The completion of the TEN-T network requires about 550 billion until 2020. That is reason why, with so much at stake, Tenerife is taking a stand to ensure the EU sits up and listens to the claims from such a strategically-placed island which, literally, can provide a link between three continents: Europe, Africa and the Americas.

The fight for wholesale progress on the Island is not yet over!

A taxing time for us all as Budget cuts deeply AFTER MUCH speculation in the media, the Spanish government presented a draft budget for 2013 with a package of tax increases and spending cuts that it said would guarantee the country could meet deficit-cutting targets agreed to with the rest of the euro zone.

As promised, here is an in-depth look at what it all means.

Because Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s Popular Party controls Parliament, the budget is expected to be adopted within the next few weeks. But with current austerity measures already prompting street demonstrations amid high unemployment and a recession, there is little likelihood that the new budget will do anything to calm a restive public.

The 2013 budget plan is meant to help carry out a sweeping longterm austerity package outlined by Rajoy in July, which is aimed at reducing the central government’s

budget deficit by 65 billion euros over two and a half years.

The plan involves an average cut of almost 9 per cent in the spending of each government ministry next year. The salaries of civil servants will be frozen for a third consecutive year.

In a specific gesture toward older people and one made to maintain one of the PM’s pledges, the 2013 budget includes a 1.0 per cent increase in pension payments.

Several economists, however, have suggested that Madrid would eventually need to cut pension payments to stick to its budgetary targets. Car owners of vehicles which are twelve years old can get a 2,000 euro grant for the purchase of another vehicle.

In the case of commercial vehicles any over 10 years old will be accepted.

The plan started on October 1st and will continue to March 31st, 2013. The new car cannot cost more than 25,000 euros before IVA/VAT. The budget also contains 43 new laws which will allow it to carry out its programme of reforms. It will centre on competition, unity in the market, and control of the deficit. This is the plan designed to comply with the Brussels recommendations.

05 October - 11 October 2012

Also as expected, the new measures would include removing a tax break for home purchases. In a surprise move, the budget proposal calls for raising the tax on lottery winnings to 20 per cent for winnings over 2,500, though it is not a move that would affect many people in a significant way. In total, the government said the tax measures would increase revenue by 4.4 billion euros next year. Cristóbal Montoro, the budget minister, said the new budget would “prolong our effort to clean up public finances.” He added, “We are making an effort that is shared among many citizens and this is the way, even if it is not short, to get out of this crisis and erase the doubts over Spain”.

Mr. Montoro said the 2013 budget guaranteed that Spain would meet a pledge to the rest of the euro zone to cut its deficit to 4.5 per cent of gross domestic product next year, from a target of 6.3 per cent this year.

Trying to keep that pledge to Europe amid a deepening recession, however, has already led Mr. Rajoy to backtrack on some campaign promises, including an increase in the value-added tax to

21 per cent from 18 per cent that went into effect on September 1st. That move helped spur the street protests against the government in recent weeks.

Keeping to the fiscal discipline demanded by other euro zone leaders could prove crucial to the Rajoy government, if it eventually wants to tap the new bond-buying program the European Central Bank announced this month. That program is meant to help reduce the borrowing costs of beleaguered euro zone members like Spain: if the governments choose to ask for the help.

While that would help ease Spain’s debt financing problems, Rajoy is concerned that the aid would be accompanied by demands for more austerity measures.

Luis de Guindos, the economy minister, said that the government was still analysing the programme and noted that Spain had managed so far to continue to finance itself on the debt markets.

But Spain faces debt refinancing needs of 38.6 billion euros next year, according to the draft budget. That is almost 10 billion euros more than what was budgeted for 2012, underscoring the extent to which Madrid has struggled to contain its borrowing costs.

PM Rajoy has ordered regional governments to cut their deficits to 1.5 per cent of GDP this year and 0.7 per cent next year. But Spain’s 17 regions are not only struggling to cut their budget deficits but are also crippled by mountains of debt.

Also on the cards is the creation of a supervisory agency to help ensure budgetary compliance by public administrations, as well as a further drive to streamline regional and local bodies in order to avoid expensive duplications.

“We have made important efforts to improve central administration, but we need to extend those to regions and municipalities,” Guindos said.

Whatever Rajoy’s latest measures, “political tension

between central government and the regions could also increase the likelihood of additional fiscal slippage because the chances that the government will use its powers to impose fiscal discipline are slimmer,” analysts at Barclays warned in a report issued before the budget presentation.

Montoro suggested that such doubts were unfounded and insisted that tax revenues were in line with what the government anticipated.

Rajoy’s government expects Spain’s economy to contract 1.5 per cent this year and 0.5 per cent next year. But Montoro forecast that exports would pick up and unemployment would peak, so that 2013 should be “the last year of recession for our country.”

Finally, a round up of some of the major cuts.

The money available for the dependency help program destined for the regional communities will see a 200 million reduction in the budget and fall to 1.087 billion euros. The Development Ministry will reduce investment in infrastructures by 22%. The cabinet is also to announce new taxes, such as new green taxes.

Continuing Education, Culture and Sports funding down17.2%, Agriculture, Food and Environment down 25%, and Finance and Public Administration down 9.5%. Defence cuts at 6%, Justice 4.2% and Interior 6%.

The only departments that are increased are Economics and Competitiveness 4% and Presidential 0.6%.

EU response: A major step EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn has said that his office will give a formal reply to the Spanish budget plans in November.

But he praised the reforms laid out by Prime Minister Rajoy and de Guindos and said he was confident the pair would take the necessary steps to restore health to Europe’s fourth-largest economy.

Immediately after the release of the budget on September 27th, Olli Rehn made the following statement: “The comprehensive reform plan announced today by the Spanish authorities is a major step to broaden and deepen structural reforms, building on important achievements made already. The reform plan includes concrete, ambitious and well-focused measures and establishes clear deadlines in many areas. “This new structural reform plan responds to the country specific recommendations issued to

Spain under the European semester and goes even beyond them in some areas.

"The reforms are clearly targeted at some of the most pressing policy challenges.

“Further enhancing the flexibility of product and labour markets will indeed be critical to boost growth and employment and to support fiscal consolidation.

“I particularly welcome the ambitious plans to establish an independent Fiscal Council, to further liberalise professional services, and to effectively reduce the fragmentation of the internal market in Spain.

"Labour market measures complement past reforms of collective bargaining and employment protection.

The planned reform of the vocational education system is particularly pertinent.

“Spain is facing important challenges to correct very sizable macroeconomic imbalances which require a comprehensive policy response. The measures announced today are a further important step towards addressing these challenges”.

New projects from Tenerife Tourism TENERIFE Tourism is drafting four new projects to improve the tourist areas of the island, requiring an investment of more than 7.8 million euros.

The plan was agreed during the course of the last meeting of the Regeneration Convention held recently under the chairmanship of the Cabildo Minister of

Tourism, Carlos Alonso.

The Minister explained that this time, “We have opted to prioritise the areas situated along the coast and those located at the convergence of several tourist towns, as in the case of Santiago del Teide and Guía de Isora”.

He also noted that, for these actions to improve the tourist space to be successful, “It is essential to have collaboration and coordination between administrations, something we put in place more than

five years ago and it has been very successful.”

New projects are approved, specifically, for work on the boulevard Chayofe, near the Los Cristianos Cultural Centre, with a budget of around 2.2 million. The second project is for the improvement of the waterfront between the plaza and Puerto Colón, in the municipality of Adeje, costing in excess of 4.1 million euros.

In Puerto de la Cruz the coastal pathway located between the Mirador Agatha Christie and the Mirador de la

Paz will be worked on to the tune of 400,000 euros.

Finally, during the meeting they approved the drafting of a project for the avenida Marítima de Puerto Santiago, between the calle La Alpispa and Punta Negra, which will go a long way to improving the entrance into Playa de la Arena. The budget for this project amounts to 1.1 million.

The Island Council has opted to prioritise the tourist areas in the Open Commercial Zones programme.

Help for landlords and property investors...

SPAIN is opening its doors to property investors in an effort to revive its struggling economy, which could spell good news for ex-pats based here.

Europe’s fourth largest economy has a huge mountain of government and bank debt that has led to tough austerity measures and thousands of job losses. House prices have plummeted by up to 40 per cent as mortgage financing dries up within Spain’s struggling banks.

So, the Spanish government has decided to make it more attractive for landlords to buy properties in the country and then rent them out. Rental laws are considered outdated and heavily skewed towards tenants.

New legislation is in the pipeline which gives more power to landlords. This includes giving tenants just 10 days to pay their arrears before being evicted. Property owners will also be able to regain possession of their home after two months’

notice. A further proposed change will cut the tenant’s right to live in the home down to three years with an extra one year’s agreed extension, from the current five years plus a three-year extension.

Another boost for foreign landlords will be tax relief on the rental income, ranging from 60 per cent to 100 per cent. But this is based on the proviso the home is rented to working people under 30 years of age.

The new rules will also replace the existing inflation-

linked rent increases with agreements between the landlord and the tenant instead. The improvement in Spain’s buy-to-let market and plunging house prices could present a good opportunity for Britons living in Spain to buy for investment in areas they are familiar with.

Data released by Spain’s Ministry of Development show foreigners bought 12 per cent more properties in the second quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2011.

Where’s April?

A word from our editor

The desperate police search for five-year-old April

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

POLICE were yesterday (Thursday) searching the home of suspect Mark Bridger following the disappearance of five-year-old April Jones on Monday evening.

They were also digging up paving stones in the garden of his three-bedroom house, in the hamlet of Ceinws in mid-Wales.

And, as we went to press last night, police were conducting a systematic search of the nearby Dyfi river, involving dog handlers. An underwater search was also carried out along the river’s banks.

Activity at Mr Bridger’s white farmhouse intensified as officers were given until 5pm today (Friday) to question the 46-year-old.

The searches came as police used a news conference to appeal for information about the 46-year-old suspect’s movements and use of social media around the time April vanished, while playing with friends at about 7pm.

Meanwhile, April’s 16-yearold sister, Jasmine, made a passionate appeal for her safe return, saying: “I just want our beautiful princess home now.

“It’s been too long, and knowing someone knows something but won’t say it makes me feel even worse.”

Go on, have a laff!

TENERIFE Comedy Club has come around quickly this month; taking place next Friday (12th Oct) and Sunday (14th) at Showtime Las Americas. And MC Will Marsh returns after taking time out for the Edinburgh Festival!

April’s family, from Machynlleth, also launched a pink-ribbon campaign to support the hunt, after revealing that the little girl was suffering from cerebral palsy.

Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan told a press conference in Aberystwyth: “The investigation continues and our focus remains

Local produce THE Canarian Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water, Juan Ramon Hernandez, announced today that the regional government is engaged in developing a “Canarian diet” based on local products, for hospitals, schools, hotels, airlines and shipping companies.

In an appearance in the Canarian Parliament, Hernandez stressed the need to encourage the consumption of products from the Canary Islands, in an effort to boost the local economy.

He said that in order to

promote the consumption of local produce, full involvement of the regional governments and the economic and social sectors is required. He added that in the next month adverts will appear in the media to present and promote Canarian produce.

The ads will show the work done by the employees of the primary sector in the Canary Islands, while encouraging their consumption by the general population.

He has also announced the implementation of a pilot program for organic meals in school canteens in the archipelago.

The promotion of organic farming, self-employment, education, food quality and recovery of seasonal products are some of the objectives of this programme.

on finding April. We have interviewed Mark Bridger again and we will continue to piece together his movements during the relevant times - and look to overlay his account with what we’ve gleaned from witnesses, sightings and the other inquiries we are conducting.”

Det Supt Bevan said a “vast” amount of forensic analysis was being carried out, forming a “crucial part” of the inquiry.

But he added that this alone would not find the little girl. “Again I make an appeal to the public to help us find April,” said the officer.

“And in particular, we are looking to trace the movements of Mark Bridger between 6.30pm on Monday and 3.30pm on Tuesday - and any sightings of him between these times.

“If anyone has had contact with him during this period, we urge you to come forward.

And by contact, I mean faceto-face contact, telephone contact, texting, social media - any contact whatsoever.”

The police have now searched 20 sites for the missing girl, and they are also appealing for information about the suspect’s blue Land Rover Discovery.

April’s Godmother, Mair Raftree, spoke of the youngster’s health problems and said she would be in desperate need of her regular medication. “Without it, she will be in pain,” she said.

“She has been in hospital a few times for her condition and, with the cerebral palsy, her legs just give way. I am so scared for her and I desperately want her home.”

Some 100 mountain rescue volunteers, 100 policetrained search officers, 20 dog-handlers, two RNLI boats, a team of kayakers and the force’s marine unit have all been taking part in the operation.

Music to the masses THE Tenerife Symphony Orchestra (OST) is launching the second edition of the Chamber Music Tenerife series, an initiative that consists of nine concerts in St. Ursula, Arona, Candelaria, Adeje, Santa Cruz, Tegueste, Los Silos, El Rosario and El Sauzal.

The members of the Sym-

phony Orchestra of Tenerife will be divided into several groups to interpret the programmes provided in this new concert series. On Friday, October 5th from 20:30 pm in the Convent of San Francisco, in Adeje, a group will perform "Divertimento" by Mozart, "Nocturne" by Borodin, and "Serenade for String Orchestra" by Dvorak.

From a personal point of view, I can’t wait to see fellow Bristolian James Dowdeswell, a stand-up comedian with a passion for wine which, perhaps, stems from the fact that his dad is a publican, who owns a gorgeous, local country pub.

James has travelled the globe telling his imaginative stories, from Slovakia to Singapore. With a number of TV credits to his name, including playing “The Count” in Ricky Gervais’ Extras, through the Bristol connection (Bristolian Stephen Merchant co-wrote the series with Gervais). His latest solo show, “Urban Wurzel”, was a hit at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival.

“His material is top drawer” Chortle (UK comedy guide) He is currently taking time out from filming his own comedy show about wine, called “James Dowdeswell Black Belt In Wine” to join us in Tenerife.

Six-foot Canadian Pat Burtscher brings his dark sense of humour to the Island, and his new “Patopotamoose” show went down a storm at Edinburgh.

Now, if you think he looks familiar, that’s because you’ve been watching too many adverts on TV. Pat has appeared in an advert for

drinks company Diageo and Cravendale Milk.

“His dark, cool brand of comedy should get him booked steadily and soon, if he’s got plenty more where that came from.” Chortle Headliner Benny Boot completes the line-up for the evening of hilarity. Aussie Boot has been wowing audiences in the UK for eight years with his speciality: observational comedy.

His show,“Set-Up, Punchline, Pause for Laughter”, debuted last year, and he delivers his jokes in a unique style on a variety of strange topics.

His engaging persona and material keeps the laughter rolling through the entire show and is guaranteed to render any audience undone.

“He may come from Down Under but we should be loathe to let them have him back” The Guardian If you’ve never been to the Tenerife Comedy Club, it’s definitely worth a visit, and at just 10 euros for residents and 15 euros for non-residents, it’s a brilliant night out.

It’s interesting - comedy which was once, many moons ago, classified as fringe entertainment is now becoming more and more mainstream, so much so that yesterday (Thursday), the 3rd Annual International Comedy Conference took place in London.

The aim of the conference was to improve opportunities for the exchange of comedy between the UK, the rest of Europe and beyond.

Everyone was involved, from professionals in the international comedy industry to agents, festivals, managers, media, promoters, services and venues, focusing on the European live circuit.

Enjoy! Until next week…

NEWS IN BRIEF Free airport parking is cancelled THE first half-hour free parking allowance at Canarian airports has been dropped by AENA, the Spanish Airports Authority, so every minute you park now will be clocked up. The new regulation was introduced on Monday and while political parties are already protesting, it actually costs just one euro for the initial 30 minutes, according to a Canarian Weekly reporter.

Flu jabs are held up A DELAY in the development of flu vaccines in an Italian factory has put the brake on the vaccination campaign against influenza in several regions, including the Canary Islands. It means the flu jab will not be available until 22nd October, when supplies are expected to reach local health centres.

Jose Diaz-Flores, Canarian Government Director General of Public Health, said it would not put the public at risk, since the flu season here usually arrives in November.

Gas and electricity cheaper THE “Tariff of last Resort” (TUR) rates on gas and electricity have gone down by 2.29% until January.

Gas cylinders are reduced by 4.6% and will cost a maximum16.1 euros.

The fall, says the Government, is because of the 7.6% reduction in the cost of the raw materials, (propane and butane). Since its introduction in July 2009, the TUR, has never fallen when raw energy costs went down.

In the previous review, for the period between July and September, the TUR on electricity rose 3.95% on average, while natural gas prices rose 2.26% and butane cost 16.45 euros - some 5.92% higher.

Welcome to Santa Cruise!

OCTOBER is shaping up well in Santa Cruz as 30 cruise liners are bringing 103,300 visitors to the capital - 78,700 trippers and 24,600 crew - kicking off the port’s busy season.

Compared with last October, it’s an increase of 12 ships and 16,900 passengers, which means that some days, up to five cruisers will arrive and dock in the same 24-hour period.

Have your say in Arona CARMELO GARCIA, Arona’s Town Planning Councillor, has announced that municipality residents can view the draft text of the new ordinance regulating the occupation of public spaces on the Arona website, so that they can present suggestions and contributions to the final text.

Garcia said of the document: “It is so important that we want to achieve the broadest possible consensus on the finalisation of the new municipal regulations.”

The public can submit suggestions from now until Wednesday (10th Oct) at www.arona.org

Banking audit is finally complete THE long-awaited audit on Spain’s banking sector has just been released and shows that Spain would need less capital for its banks than initially estimated, clearing the way for the cleanup of the ailing sector at a time of uncertainty about the country’s finances.

The 53.75 billion euro figure offered just after the draft budget came in takes into account tax deductions linked to losses and is below the 62 billion euro estimate Spain gave in June. It will form the basis for the calculation of how much Spain will need to draw from a 100 billion bailout obtained from the European Union.

Concerns over Spain’s ability to deal with its banks, a growing budget gap and deep economic recession have sent borrowing costs steadily higher in recent months, fuelling speculation that the government would need another bailout to help meet its own financing needs.

The Spanish government hopes the results will help

rebuild confidence in the country’s banks.

A new state-owned “bad bank” will reduce final capital needs, while some banks will be able to plug holes without recourse to state aid.

At a news conference, Deputy Finance Minister Fernando Jiménez Latorre estimated his country might need just around 40 billion euros of the EU credit line.

After a brief respite earlier this month, due to the European Central Bank’s promise to buy bonds from governments that submit to an economic-reform program, Spanish markets came under pressure again amid evidence of a mounting domestic backlash to the overhauls of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

The government unveiled a package of spending cuts and tax increases in the budget, in an effort to stabilise the economy.

The stress tests, done by U.S. consultancy Oliver Wyman under the supervision of a steering committee that included representatives of the ECB and the European Commission, aim to provide a definite estimate of Spanish bank capital needs four years after the collapse of a local housing boom that sunk the economy and saddled banks with billions of euros

of bad debt. The external assessment was required under the terms of the EU aid package after the failure of Spanish authorities to come to grips with the size of their banking problem in four previous cleanup efforts.

In a sign of deepening concerns over Spain’s solvency, Moody’s Investors Service has said it could downgrade Spain’s credit rating, already just one notch above junk status.

Mr. Rajoy has said he is considering a bailout request.

His government is exploring the possibility with its EU partners of using funds left over from the 00 billion credit line for banks to buy Spanish government debt, according to people close to the situation.

The ECB, the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission all welcomed the completion of the Spanish stress tests.

“This is a major step in implementing the financialassistance program and toward strengthening the viability of confidence in the Spanish banking sector,” the commission said in a statement.

The next step is for the banks with capital shortfalls to submit recapitalisation plans that will be evaluated by the Spanish central bank

and the commission. In its statement, the commission said the first round of bank recapitalisations is expected to take place in November.

The stress tests analysed the ability of the country’s 14 largest banks to absorb losses in an extreme scenario of a 6.5 per cent decline in gross domestic product through the year 2014. They concluded that seven banks would have capital shortfall in such a situation.

The four banks that were nationalised over the past year had the biggest capital shortfalls. Bankia SA alone needs 24.7 billion, well above the 19 billion estimated in April, the Bank of Spain said in a statement. Novagalicia Banco, Catalunya Bank and Banco de Valencia need a total of 21.46 billion.

Among the listed banks, Banco Popular Español was found to need 3.2 billion, though the bank said it could cover the shortfall by itself. Two other, smaller banks need a total of 4.32 billion, the central bank said.

Spain’s three largest banks— Banco Santander SA, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA and CaixaBank SA—won’t need to raise new funds.

Four smaller lenders, Banco Sabadell SA, Bankinter SA, Kutxabank and Unicaja also are off the hook.

International Tourism Day

Mobile phones feel the heat THE Canary Islands’ Government spent 778,626.76 euros on mobile-phone charges in the first eight months of the year. This heavy expense includes mobile-to-mobile calls, mobile-to-land calls, text messages that, for example, are from schools to send reminders to parents, or health centres and hospitals about appointments.

Scrappage Scheme returns THE Spanish Government is reintroducing the car Scrappage Scheme to help boost the motor industry.

Drivers with vehicles over 12 years old, throughout Spain and the Canaries, will be given a 2,000-euro tradein allowance on a new car. In the case of commercial vehicles they need be only 10 years old to qualify for the scheme, which began on Monday and continues until the end of March next year. One proviso is that the new motor must cost no more than 25,000 euros before IVA/ VAT.

This conference also seeks to provide people with MS and their families some leisure and therapeutic activity that serves as respite care. And to end a perfect day, a picnic!

AMBAR is a young, nonprofit association, founded for the purpose of designing and developing actions and activities that values the donkey, a creature that has remarkable importance and unquestionable value in our society.

AMBAR develops leisure activities and therapeutic work with their donkeys, (asinoterapia) for people with a physical, psychological or social disadvantage.

Activities include visits to schools, hiking and rescue projects, especially for the Majorero Burro, which is endangered.

IT'S International Volunteer Day today (Friday) and the Telefónica Foundation is taking part in one of more than 500 social and environmental activities that are happening simultaneously around the world.

And this year they will be working with donkeys.

AMBAR, the Multidisciplinary Association for Donkeys, used in promoting recreation and therapies, was selected to create, together with ATEM, the Tenerife Association of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis, a playful, therapeutic day to benefit 20 people affected by multiple sclerosis here in Tenerife.

The activity consists of two parts. On the one hand, people with MS will participate in a session of Asinoterapia, consisting of an obstacle course ride with the donkeys. Asinoterapia is presented as a treatment that not only works on psychomotor coordination and rehabilitation, but also works on the emotional plane, showing how the animal needs to be treated with care and affection and depends on their human guides, playing out the role of dependent and caregiver,

MORE than 15,000 people looking for work queued to apply for just 150 vacancies at the factory of agricultural machinery company John Deere on the outskirts of Madrid.

As data showed unemployment across Spain has risen by 11pc over the past year , the applicants had no idea what positions they were applying for or what wages to expect, just that there was the possibility of a regular job.

“The truth is I have no idea what the job is, beyond that it is at a factory,” one 23-yearold applicant was reported as saying. Employment agency

Adecco in the Getafe district of Madrid, which advertised the job, said it had seen more than 15,000 jobseekers in the week before the application closing date. Overwhelmed by the huge response, the agency said it will hold a draw of those who applied to narrow the list to 1,500 before considering suitable applicants for the positions. The Spanish government released figures on Tuesday that showed half a million people lost their jobs in the year ending September.

Spain’s official unemployment rate reached 24.6 per cent in June, the highest in the industrialised world.

Canary Island’s own Javier Bardem villain in ‘Skyfall’

BORN in the Canary Islands in 1969, Javier Bardem makes an extraordinary villain in “Skyfall,” producer Barbara Broccoli said at an event launching the film’s international presentation tour of the new adventure of the most famous secret agent in the history of movies, James Bond,.

Bardem is the first from his country to be nominated for an Academy Award, as well as the first to win an acting Oscar (Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men), rather than in the Foreign Language film category.

At the packed press conference, Broccoli, co-producer of “Skyfall,” said that Bardem, who plays Raoul Silva, is a magnificent actor and it was great they could convince him to take the part, because people are going to love his work, which she called exceptional.

Linea Directa say three out of four accidents resulting in injury or death are caused by driver errors WHENEVER we find ourselves in a difficult or dangerous situation while we are driving, we have only a fraction of a second to take a decision and carry it out correctly.

Consequently, when drivers take the wrong decision, the number of accidents resulting in death or injury is tripled, Figures show that 73% of accidents are caused by drivers making bad decisions, compared with 27% in which they acted correctly.

This is the main conclusion of the study “Decision-making when driving”, in which 174,000 accidents resulting in injury or death have been analysed.

This means that in the last four years, nearly 130,000 accidents resulting in injury or death could have been avoided if the drivers involved had been able to assess the dangers on the road correctly.

The most common errors are down to drivers being distracted, joining roads incorrectly, turning badly, illegally overtaking and not maintaining a safe distance between the vehicle in front.

As for types of road, Línea Directa’s report confirms that conventional roads are the most dangerous,

because 76% of accidents take place on them. On dual carriageways and motorways, the most common types of accident caused by driver error are rear-end collisions and vehicle crashes, mainly through sudden braking and the switching of lanes.

Driver Profile Men aged between 18 and 24, who have held a driving licence for less than two years, and the over-65s, are those most likely to be involved in accidents through driver error.

The former because they have a lower perception of risk and the latter because they have lost certain skills.

On the other hand, women aged between 35 and 64, who have held a driving licence for 15 years or more, are those who take the best decisions.

Military Wives march on to a Classic Brits triumph THE Military Wives Choir, put together

by Gareth Malone, collected the Single of the Year title at the Classic Brit awards.

Wherever You Are topped the charts at Christmas and finished ahead of Nessun Dorma and other classic tracks, by public vote.

Delighted choirmaster Malone described the award, presented at London’s Royal Albert Hall this week, as “the

candle on the icing of a very large cake”.

The Wives then celebrated by performing the Diamond Jubilee anthem Sing, accompanied on grand pianos by the song’s composers, Take That star Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Popular violinist Andre Rieu won his second Album of the Year award for And The Waltz Goes On at the ceremony, to be broadcast on ITV1 on Sunday. Sir Anthony Hopkins, the Oscar-winning actor,

enjoyed a share of the award after his composition - the album’s title track - featured on the album.

Rieu dedicated the prize to him, describing Sir Anthony as “the greatest actor we have now on this planet”.

For his part, Sir Anthony said the waltz was written in 1964 and was adamant the Classic Brit success was all down to

Rieu. “I’m just here by happy accident.” He said.

American composer John Williams was honoured with a lifetime achievement award which recognised his work on dozens of scores for such films as Jaws, Star Wars and Superman.

The 80-year-old also took a Best Composer prize in recognition of his scores for

Steven Spielberg’s films War Horse and The Adventures of Tintin.

Benjamin Grosvenor, a 20-year-old pianist, became the youngest-ever male to feature on the Classic Brits roll of honour, taking the Critics’ Choice prize for his album Chopin, Liszt and Ravel.

Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti won the award for

Top Female artist, and the best Male Artist accolade went to Russian Vasily Petrenko, who conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Other winners included classical guitarist Milos Karadaglic, who was Breakthrough Artist of the Year, and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, Best International artist.

Italians’ pedal-power now the driving force THE Italians have taken to their saddles, with bicycle sales outstripping those of cars in 2011 for the first time in years.

Some 1.75 million bicycles were sold last year, which was about 2,000 more than the number of new cars registered, according to the La Repubblica.

The newspaper attributed the change to a slump in car sales during the economic

crisis and the rising price of petrol, as well as bikes becoming fashionable again.

Although bike-riding has a strong tradition in Italy, the big-city centres are dominated mainly by cars and scooters.

But ahead of a cycling conference being held in Italy this weekend, President Giorgio Napolitano has appealed to his countrymen to “catch up” with other European countries by making their roads more bike-friendly.

www.canarianweekly.com TESCO, Britain’s largest retailer and the world’s thirdlargest supermarket group, has recorded its first fall in profit in 18 years.

The group is battling to halt the decline in its market share, but pre-tax profit dropped over 11% to £1.66bn in the six months to 25th August.

It was another wake-up call because the company invested millions following a shock January profit warning.

There had been tentative signs that the investment was paying off, as sales in the UK, excluding fuel and VAT in the second quarter rose 0.1% ,after 18 months of decline.

It beat expectations

Tesco profits slump, but there’s still some £1.66bn in the kitty! and marked a significant improvement on the supermarket’s first-quarter decline of 1.5%.

But like-for-like sales in Asia and Europe fell into the red as shopping-hour restrictions hit trade in South Korea, while the eurozone crisis impacted its performance in Europe.

There was further bad news from Tesco’s US chain, Fresh & Easy, where losses dropped by just £1m to £72m, despite investor calls

05 October - 11 October 2012

for the supermarket chain to withdraw from the country.

But Tesco, still the leader of the pack, continues to makes over 60% of its trading profit in Britain.

In April, chief executive Philip Clarke unveiled a plan to invest £1bn to stem a steady decline in market share to Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, as well as discounters Aldi and Lidl.

The money was used to

recruit around 8,000 more permanent staff, renovate stores and revamp food ranges, such as the Everyday Value collection. Tesco has also boosted its online offerings, rolling out its Click & Collect service of buying online for pick-up in store.

An optimistic Mr Clarke said: “I am encouraged by our customers’ initial responses to the changes we have made, but there is much more to be done.”

The group’s drop in profits came as Sainsbury’s released a trading update, showing its like-for-like sales in the second quarter, excluding fuel but including VAT, would rise 1.9%.

Demand for its Taste The Difference range helped boost the figures, with the chain’s non-food items also selling well.

Britain’s third-largest supermarket is continuing with its expansion plans by opening five supermarkets and 28 convenience stores over the quarter.

Two nursery school helpers are bailed over toddler's death THE death of a three-year-old girl in a playground has led to the arrest of two nursery-school workers.

Lydia Bishop died after becoming tangled in playground equipment on her first day at York College Day Nursery last month.

North Yorkshire Police said her death was not treated as suspicious at the time, but they have since arrested and bailed two people.

A brief police statement read: “Staff members were interviewed as part of the ongoing enquiries into the circumstances surrounding Lydia’s death.

The investigation is still in its early stages.”

An inquest into Lydia’s death on 17th September was opened and adjourned after hearing that a rope on an outdoor slide became caught round her neck, and that a nursery worker found her “unresponsive”.

The nursery is closed and, according to a statement on the college website, is not expected to re-open for at least another month.

“Everyone at York College remains shocked and profoundly saddened by the tragic death of Lydia Bishop, and Lydia’s family are constantly in our thoughts,” says the statement.

York College principal Alison Birkinshaw said after Lydia’s death: “We are doing all we can to assist the authorities with their inquiries, and we will also do our utmost to support everybody involved.”

An Ofsted inspection carried out at the nursery in September 2009 said the overall quality of provision at York College was good, and described the outdoor facilities as “superb”.

Sir Richard Branson proved right as Government falls right off the rails SIR Richard Branson has scored a huge success over the Government after losing his West Coast Main Line railway contract.

The furious entrepreneur, whose Virgin Trains company had run the line

Page 14

successfully for nearly 15 years, complained bitterly when the contract was awarded to rivals FirstGroup in a bidding process.

He described the decision as “insane”, and vowed to seek a judicial review. But barely 24 hours before a High Court hearing, the Virgin boss was told by the Government’s

Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, that the FirstChoice contract was being scrapped.

Mr McLoughlin admitted the about-turn was down to “deeply regrettable and completely unacceptable mistakes” in his own department.

Virgin Trains had been outbid by FirstGroup, but

Mr McLoughlin said there had been mistakes in the way inflation and passenger numbers were factored in, which then affected how much money bidders were asked to put up as a guarantee.

This major embarrassment for the Government will cost the taxpayer around £40 million in reimbursing for

four companies for the cost of their bids.

It has also led to the suspension of three officials from the Department for Transport (DfT) and the launch of two independent reviews into the competition.

The flaws relate to how the level of risk in the different bids was evaluated before a final decision on which company to adopt was made.

Sir Richard told Sky News the process had been an “absolute fiasco” and said his company had always been confident it had right on its side.

“Everybody at Virgin Trains is delighted,” he said. “The last thing we wanted to do was go to court It has been four months of nonstop process for everybody at Virgin Trains, but we are glad that right prevailed in the end.”

The businessman would not apportion blame, but he said Virgin would probably bid again - as long as it was confident the rules were fair.

The West Coast route serves 31 million passengers travelling between London, the West Midlands, the north-west of England, North Wales and the central belt of Scotland.

Mr McLoughlin emphasised that the companies had done nothing wrong during the process, saying: “The “fault lies wholly and squarely with the Department of Transport.”

Virgin founder Sir Richard, writing on his blog, welcomed the move and said he was hopeful ministers would “now accept that Virgin Trains should carry on running the West Coast Main Line”.

The mistakes in Whitehall were revealed only because officials were gathering evidence for the court case,

suggesting they may not have been uncovered for some time had there been no challenge.

Philip Rutnam, DfT Permanent Secretary, said: “The errors exposed by our investigation are deeply concerning. They show a lack of good process and a lack of proper quality assurance.

I am determined to identify exactly what went wrong and why, and to put these things right.”

When FirstGroup was granted the franchise, then Transport Secretary Justine Greening had described the bidding process as “robust” and “fair”.

It is understood that Mr McLoughlin, who replaced Ms Greening in the recent Cabinet reshuffle, found out about the problems on Monday.

FirstGroup had been scheduled to take over the running of the Londonto-Scotland line on 9th December, for at least 13 years at the end of the current franchise.

Mr McLoughlin added: “West Coast passengers can rest assured that while we seek urgently to resolve the future arrangements, the trains that run now will continue to run, with the same drivers, the same staff and timetables as planned.

“The tickets people have booked will continue to be valid, and passengers will be able to make their journeys as planned.”

FirstGroup, whose shares were down 18% at one point on Wednesday, said it had no idea there had been anything wrong with the process until it was contacted by the Government.

A spokesman said: “We are extremely disappointed to learn this news and await the outcome of the DfT’s inquiries.”

www.canarianweekly.com THE British Film Industry (BFI) will spend nearly £500m on the UK industry over the next five years.

The sum, to be used to boost film production outside London, was revealed in a new five-year plan issued by the British Film Institute (BFI). And money will also be spent on education and boosting audience choice.

Greg Dyke, BFI chairman, revealed that a “pioneering partnership with Bristolbased studio Aardman would build the animation talent of tomorrow”.

Aardman, established in 1972, created characters including Morph, best known for the Oscarwinning series of Wallace and Gromit films.

The BFI’s plan, called Film Forever, will introduce measures to help boost the film industry growth with a particular emphasis outside London.

It follows an 18-month consultation with 1,000 people, including industry bodies, education providers and members of the public.

Money will also be spent on giving audiences outside London a more diverse choice of film, by putting

chief executive, said: “We are investing where we think we can most make a difference

- where we see potential for creative excellence and where we can be the

supportive catalyst for change, innovation, business growth and jobs.”

The largest part of the investment - £44.2m annually - will be made in “education, learning and audiences” between 2012 and 2017.

This will include a new partnership with Samsung for a TV application which aims to give audiences access to exclusive BFI content, including behind-the-scenes reports from the London Film Festival.

It is also working on the development of a BFI player which, Ms Nevill hopes, will be available by the end of 2013.

Part of the money spent on education will go towards a youth film academy, supported by Pinewood Studios and Bafta, who will make their facilities available to successful applicants.

With additional funding from the Department for Education, young people aged 16-19 who display a particular talent, will

benefit from events and master-classes with industry professionals.

The BFI took over funding responsibilities after the UK Film Council was abolished last year.

It receives a large proportion of its income from the Lottery fund, which will increase from £44.7m this year to £60.1m by 2017.

The organisation aims to invest £32.3m in initiatives to support British film across development, production and skills.

The Film Fund, which puts money into production and development, will increase from £26m to £34m by 2017.

The BFI’s third priority is to digitise 10,000 films over the next five years to “bring our film heritage to new audiences”.

It has committed £10m a year until 2017 to the BFI 10K project, which will give audiences digital access to British and international film titles alike.

Arena presents the greatest Beatles story never told, a blockbuster double bill: a documentary full of fabulous Beatles archive material never shown before anywhere in the world. And the first screening for over 30 years of a lost and forgotten treasure, the only film conceived and directed by The Beatles themselves - Magical Mystery Tour.

Part One - Magical Mystery Tour Revisited Songs you’ll never forget, the film you’ve never seen, and a story that’s never been heard.

In 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles made a film – a dreamlike story of a coach daytrip, a magical mystery tour. It was seen by a third of the nation, at 8.35pm on BBC One on Boxing Day - an expectant public, hoping for some light entertainment for a family audience.

Magical Mystery Tour was greeted with outrage and derision by middle England and the establishment media.“How dare they?”, they cried – “They’re not film directors, who do they think they are?” they howled. Where were the four lovable moptops of Help! and A Hard Day’s Night?

What propelled The Beatles to make this surreal, startling and – at the time – utterly misunderstood film? Contributors include Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Peter Fonda, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, Paul Merton and Neil Innes.

Directed by Francis Hanly; produced by Jonathan Clyde; the executive producers are Anthony Wall and Jeff Jones

Formula 1: Japanese GP Qualifying Highlights BBC1, 13.00 Jake Humphrey is joined by David Coulthard for the qualifying session in Japan.

The famous 18-turn, figure-of-eight circuit first hosted the Japanese Grand Prix in 1987. It is famed for its Crossover Bridge, Spoon Curve and popular giant funfair, held each year in the surrounding grounds. Twelve months ago it was Sebastian Vettel who left it late to capture pole position from Jenson Button by just nine thousandths of a second. Lewis Hamilton had taken provisional top spot but was forced to abort his second run after losing track position, which allowed Vettel and Button to leap-frog him on the grid. It was a fifth straight pole for the German.

BBC1, 14.05 Jake Humphrey presents highlights of the Japanese Grand Prix from Suzuka, where the Formula 1 title has been decided 11 times in the last 23 races. Last year, Jenson Button may have taken the chequered flag but it was pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel who was left with the widest grin as he became the youngest double world champion in the sport’s history.

Vettel, then aged 24 years and 98 days, finished third to secure the necessary points required for him to become only the ninth driver to win back-to-back crowns. The German found himself under investigation after he cut off Button’s attempt to pass him off the line but the stewards took no further action, much to the Briton’s frustrations. Fernando Alonso completed the podium with a second-placed finish, with Lewis Hamilton having to settle for fifth following a puncture and a clash with Ferrari’s Felipe Massa. The day, however, belonged to Button but the title to Vettel.

David Coulthard is on hand to offer his expert analysis of the race.

The Classic BRIT Awards 2012 ITV1, 22:20 Hosted by Myleene Klass for the fifth consecutive year, The Classic BRIT Awards 2012 will be a celebration of musical achievement across classical, crossover, theatre and film from the past 18 months. The gala night will see nine award presentations alongside eight unique performances specially created for the event.

Myleene Klass said, “I am thrilled to have been asked to present the Classic BRIT Awards for the fifth year. It is the highlight of my music calendar and the excitement that surrounds each award presentation and every unique performance is palpable. From Alison Balsom’s trumpet fanfare to Gary Barlow reuniting with the Military Wives for a performance of ‘Sing’, this will be a night to remember.”

British trumpeter Alison Balsom will make her fourth Classic BRIT Awards performance this year providing a fanfare to accompany the arrival of HRH The Duchess of Cornwall and mark the start of the Classic BRIT Awards 2012 with MasterCard. This will be the start of a spectacular night for Alison Balsom who is nominated for the third time for the Female Artist award, winning twice previously in 2009 and 2011. She won her first award in 2006 for Young British Classical Performer.

The London Chamber Orchestra, whose patron is HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, will be providing the accompanying music for the night. Conducted by James Morgan, the Orchestra, in addition to the evening’s music accompaniment, will present a unique and spectacular montage for Lifetime Achievement recipient John Williams. The performance will be in tribute to the Hollywood legend’s towering body of film score epics including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Superman, ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Through a series of stunning collaborations, the Classic BRIT Awards 2012 will feature more artists than ever before, with the full line up confirmed to include: Alison Balsom, Amore, André Rieu, Andrea Bocelli, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Gareth Malone, Gary Barlow, London Chamber Orchestra, Military Wives Choir, Milos Karadagli , Nicola Benedetti, The cast of Phantom Of The Opera and Russell Watson.

The eight awards handed out on the night will be: Classic FM Album of the Year in association with MasterCard, Male Artist, Female Artist, MasterCard’s Breakthrough Artist the Year Award, Composer, Classic BRITs Single of the Year in association with iTunes, Critics’ Award, International Artist of the Year in association with Raymond Weil – Andrea Bocelli, Lifetime Achievement – John Williams The Classic BRIT Awards plays a major role in supporting and nurturing talent in both the core and crossover classical world. The event was established in 2000 to honour and recognise all forms of classical music from contemporary to crossover, opera to soundtracks, traditional to theatre and has continued to evolve as classical music has once again become a major seller in the music world.

Will the pair's futuristic demonstration be enough to secure the cash they desperately need, or will the investors spot a fatal flaw? A beauty lover from Birmingham pitches possibly the smallest product ever seen in the Den, and a Lancastrian father of three has some explaining to do when his business building wooden huts comes under close scrutiny from the five multimillionaires. Other ideas seeking investment in Den include a multi-directional paint brush, a solution to the troublesome problem of 'pillow slippage' and a taxi driver's security invention, which is put through the Theo Paphitis break test.

Carlos Saldanha and Mike Thurmeier's third helping of the family-friendly prehistoric animated adventure sees Manny the mammoth, Diego the sabre-toothed tiger and Sid the sloth journey far from the frigid world they call home. When Sid discovers a nest of apparently abandoned eggs in an icy cavern, he jumps at the chance to claim them and raise the nestlings as his own. He's not even put off when they turn out to be Tyrannosaurs, though his companions aren't so keen. But when the rightful mother returns to claim her brood, she takes Sid with her back down the tunnel. Diego and Manny mount a rescue and, as they progress deeper underground, discover an alien world that's not only hot but also ruled by dinosaurs.

Luckily a mad weasel called Buck pops up just in time to save their skins.

Director: Carlos Saldanha, Mike Thurmeier Starring: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Simon Pegg, Chris Wedge.

Hell to Eternity Channel 5, 14:45 Anti-war drama based on the life of World War II hero Guy Gabaldon.

At 19 he formed his own band, Total Eclipse, which had 14 members, including a brass section and percussion!

They entered a Truman’s talent contest, held at London’s Talk of the Town and came second. However, such a large band was unwieldy and Nick decided to go for something smaller.

Drum machines had just come on to the market so … from 14 members to two, with keyboard player-cumfriend Kevin Stone. The duo were called Afrika and a single was released called I Want You Tonight.

Although it never broke the charts, it generated a lot of local and London recognition and they began playing at cool London clubs such as Upstairs at Ronnie Scott’s, The Wag Club, The Hippodrome and others.

Come 1995 and Nick favoured a change of scene, which led him all the way to sunny Tenerife, initially for a holiday. Like so many other great entertainers, he decided to stay. We’re pleased he did - a good guy with a great voice!

W C CHOICE Panorama BBC1, 20:30

Return of the Supergrass.

The recent shootings of two Manchester policewomen have highlighted Britain's problem with gangland crime. Now a previously-discredited weapon is being used to try to fight such serious and organised crime - the supergrass, criminals prepared to turn on their own and give evidence in court.

Panorama investigates the remarkable deals that these often violent gangsters are being offered to become the next generation of supergrasses. The agreements have led to gunmen getting off life sentences. A teenage gang member has also escaped prosecution, despite helping to cover up fatal shootings. And Panorama reveals cases where the credibility of the supergrass is already in question.

Nigellissima BBC2, 20:30 Nigella Lawson shares the secrets of delicious Italian inspired food. She treats her friends to an Italian inspired supper of pork loin stuffed with Parma ham and oregano, served alongside her speedy mock mash and lazy person's vignarola - a recipe based on the traditional Roman spring stew of broad beans, peas and artichokes.

For her pasta dish Nigella's cooking spelt spaghetti an earthy choice to match a fresh, no-cook olive and anchovy sauce. Nigella's weekend indulgence is sambuca kisses - delicate, doughnut-like treats so light that one would never be enough.

Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford continue their experiment to send 70-something pensioners back into full-time work in the city of Preston to reflect the government's planned rise in the state pension age. In the second week of the experiement the pensioners who managed to prove themselves to their bosses during week one have been kept on in their jobs. Now they face competition from genuine young job seekers aged between 18 and 25 who are brought in to work alongside them. The generation clash brings up more than just a contrast in physical strength.

Timekeeping, dress codes, staying power and people skills all go to emphasise the divide and in some cases what one generation can share with the other.

Conspiracy Road Trip. Comedian Andrew Maxwell takes five British creationists to the west coast of America to try to convince them that evolution is true and that their ideas are misguided.

Stuck on a bus across 2,000 miles of dustbowl roads with these religious fundamentalists, Maxwell tackles some mindboggling ideas. Could the Earth be only 6,000 years old and did humans and dinosaurs live side by side? It's a bumpy ride as he's confronted with some very un-Christian behaviour along the way, but by the end could he possibly win over any of the Bible-bashers with hard scientific fact?

W C CHOICE

Coming soon - Mr Stink Hugh Bonneville to star as Mr Stink with David Walliams in BBC One adaptation of Walliams’ best-selling children’s novel.

Award-winning actor Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Twenty Twelve) is to play the title role of Mr Stink in BBC One’s forthcoming adaptation of David Walliams’ popular children’s novel.

Adapted by Walliams with Simon Nye, the 60-minute family comedy,produced by BBC In-house, tells the story of lonely 12-year-old Chloe, who befriends local tramp Mr Stink and invites him to hide out in her family’s garden shed. As Chloe struggles to make sure noone sniffs out Mr Stink, she also has to cope with an over-bearing mum who is more interested in her own political ambitions than her daughter, her put-upon dad who has a secret of his own, her ‘perfect’ younger sister Annabelle and the nasty girls who make her life miserable at school.

But in this heart-warming and comic tale, Chloe soon discovers she is not the only one harbouring a secret and there is certainly more to Mr Stink than meets the eye… or nose.

Also joining the cast is comic actor Harish Patel (Run Fat Boy Run, Coronation Street) who plays one of Chloe’s few friends, middleaged newsagent Raj. David himself will also make an appearance as the Prime Minister.

Further cast details will be announced in due course. Filming will begin in October on location in London and in the studio. Mr Stink is due for transmission on BBC One later this year.

Grand Designs Channel 4, 21.00 Lysette and Nigel Offley want to build a dramatic new cutting-edge home by the RiverThames, smack bang in the middle of a community dominated by expensive traditional houses. It’s a battle not only against their indignant neighbours, but also the river itself. Their house will take inspiration from the river, with waves and curves, and a huge glass porthole of a roof-light. But they can’t find a contractor willing to tackle the difficulties of building over water; their architect unexpectedly leaves; and the costs come in much higher than anticipated.

Can they still achieve their vision of a building that will change the architectural language of the river forever?

Corfu: A Tale of Two Islands ITV1, 22:35 Corfu is buzzing! Five hundred thousand Brits fly there each summer and around 10,000 of us have even chosen to live there. It is the No.1 Greek holiday island for British holidaymakers, and we easily out-number every other nationality holidaying on the island.

In fact, each summer more Brits set foot on Corfu than Greeks.

‘Corfu: A Tale Of Two Islands’ follows expats and holidaymakers from all walks of life; rich and poor, young and old, English and Greek, in a country that relies on tourism to survive, but is in the throes of economic meltdown. Corfu is a microcosm of Britain on a Mediterranean island. The programme tells the story of an island caught on the cusp of two cultures, whilst trying to cope with economic uncertainty.

In his latest secret mission Phil escapes the rat race and heads for the country. Earth mother Oriole's five-bed detached home is nestled in the sleepy Shropshire hills. The picture postcard location should have secured her a sale months ago, but the hippy twist on the property has hidden the 17th century origins of this former coach house.

Meanwhile in Worcestershire, Annette's failed to find a buyer for what should be a cosy cottage, but is more like a half-way house.

Stargate SG-1 Sky 1, 12:00 An elite hand-picked team of soldiers and scientists travel through a portal to discover strange and alien worlds beyond. The SGC is contacted by a rambling individual who claims full knowledge of a host of government conspiracies, from the Kennedy cover-up to CIA-sanctioned microwave harassment of Libertarian candidates. He sounds like a crackpot, someone hardly worthy of their attention, that is until he mentions the Stargate.

Hammond wants to play it safe.

They need to check this guy out. O'Neill meets with the mystery caller, a nebbish fellow named Martin Lloyd who insists he is an alien and in possession of a space ship (who's location slips his mind at the moment).

The most fearful battle of my life!

It is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Canarian Weekly this week had the pleasure of meeting Julie Towler, who shared with us her story of a disease for which 50,000 new cases are diagnosed in the UK alone each year.

I HAD often thought of having a boob job, but not quite like this! Saturday, 11th December, was just like any other day.

I had to go to my gynaecologist to pick up my smear-test results from a recent revision. I had been putting it off as I couldn’t really be bothered to go down there and wait around.

I normally go every year for a Well-Woman checkup, so I wasn’t particularly concerned. However, as I lay on the couch whilst the doctor was examining my breasts by ultrasound, I saw his expression change. In that instant, my whole life changed.

For what seemed like minutes, but was probably only seconds, I asked if anything was wrong. “Yes,” he said, “I think you have Cancer!

I could not believe it. I was dumbstruck.

Everyone’s worst fear. “Will I die?” I asked.

“I can’t tell you that,” he said.

“We need to do further tests.”

He suddenly became very businesslike and I felt as though I was going to faint.

He told me to make an appointment for a mammogram, which I did immediately at the local hospital for first thing Monday morning.

I called my husband, who was at work, and just blurted out: “I’ve got Cancer!”

It was terrible. I did not know what to do.

I’d had a small lump in my right breast for several years, which I had been led to believe was nothing.

However, the doctor had now found a second lump, which I was unable to detect myself.

My whole weekend was spent in total oblivion. On the Sunday, I had to go to the Estrellas Christmas Concert.

I felt terrible thinking that this could possibly be the last time I would see my son, Luke, perform in a Christmas concert.

I had no idea what he was going to sing, but suddenly he came on stage and started singing Unchained Melody.

It was so emotional that I thought my heart would burst. I felt so desperate and worried. That song will always be special to me.

On Monday morning, I

‘Nearly 12,000 people die from breast cancer in the UK each year’ went for the mammogram as planned. I was petrified, sitting there waiting to be called. Eventually I went in and had it done. I asked if I could have the results straight away as I had been told it was cancer.

The nurse told me to wait and eventually came back and said: “All clear, no changes since the last mammogram. Go home and celebrate!”

I was ecstatic and we did just that - home and celebration!

My parents were on holiday with us at the time, so we were all so relieved.

On Tuesday, I thought I would just phone my gynaecologist to tell him the good news. However, he said he was not happy and that I was to come straight up with the results as soon as possible.

Thank God, I did ring him back as I was almost tempted not to bother after being told everything was okay.

He probably would not have rung me.

In a mad panic we drove to the North, where he examined me again and confirmed my worst fears. “I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am,” he said. “You have Breast Cancer.”

He said I needed to go immediately to the Bellvue

Hospital to have a needle put in for a biopsy. I was beside myself with fear. We drove to the hospital and we both burst into tears. There was no appointment available until the following day.

That morning I had the biopsy performed, which was not very pleasant. The doctor was lovely and very kind. She said that I would have to accept that the next 18 months of my life would be life-changing as she, too, could see without even doing the biopsy that I had cancer.

I then had to wait a week for the results. It was terrible.

I didn’t know what to do with myself. I could think of nothing else. On 23rd December, she called me to tell me to go back to the gynaecologist as the results were not good and that I had cancer.

The gynaecologist was not really very sympathetic. I kept asking if I was going to die and he would not give me a straight answer. All I wanted was for him to say everything would be okay. Instead, he sent me directly to another specialist in Santa Cruz.

This particular specialist examined me again and confirmed everything I had already been told. He was very matter-of-fact and told

me I would need to have a mastectomy and, probably, chemotherapy.

Once again, I thought I was going to pass out. I burst into tears. He calmed me down and said that there was no alternative as there were two cancers, and to remove them would leave me very disfigured.

The only way was to remove the whole breast. He told me he would remove the breast and fit an expansor, which would be used to stretch the skin in order to perform reconstruction later on.

I was stunned. I had never

imagined that I would get Breast Cancer. I didn’t smoke, didn’t drink much, breast-fed my baby, was not overweight, ate healthily and there was no history of it in my family.

I can’t tell you how devastating it felt. The next bit was all a blur as he wrote out notes for me to go and have a series of tests carried out. I had to have bone scans, chest X-rays, abdominal scans, blood tests, resonance scans and more.

I never actually thought I would remember what he had said or, for that matter, read his writing to understand what I had to do.

At this stage I just wanted to get rid of my breast. I hated the thought that I had a cancer growing inside of me. Every time I had a scan or a test, I was petrified that they were going to tell me that the cancer had spread.

My next appointment was for 29th December, when I was to have my lymph nodes removed under my arm to see if it had spread.

Christmas was awful. I remember sitting in my bedroom listening to all the neighbours celebrating Xmas Eve and laughing and joking, whilst my world was collapsing.

I wanted to shout out, “Hey, stop enjoying yourselves” I cried harder than I have ever cried in my life that night, knowing that this could, in fact, be my last Christmas.

I could not even get out of bed on Christmas morning as I felt so depressed.

It wasn’t fair because my son was only 13 and I didn’t

think he should have to see me suffer. Why me? But he seemed to take it fairly well and just kept saying, “Mum you will be okay. Don’t worry."

But I could do nothing but worry. The whole of Christmas passed in a blur.

I went for the removal of my lymph glands on 29th December. Not a pleasant experience.

A few days later the doctor rang me and said: “I have good news, the lymph glands are clear.”

I was so happy, as I had been preparing for the worst. He then said he would operate on 14th January.

On 6th January I had a phone call to say my son had been in an accident on a trampoline! I rushed down to where he was to find him strapped up in an ambulance. I was shaking from head to toe.

At this time not sure what had happened. However, he had broken his arm very badly and needed an operation. I stayed in the hospital with him for a few days, during which time, because I was not very mobile, my arm swelled up like an orange.

I then had to see the emergency doctor to have my arm drained. I could not believe my bad luck. My son had broken his right arm and I was going to be losing the use of my right arm for some time after my mastectomy.

Things could not really get any worse.

My husband would now have to deal with the two of us with our right arms out of action!

Here come the Swallows!

AS many of you who live here will know, the Swallows are now starting to arrive. These are the people who are lucky enough to be able to live in the UK in the summer, and then avoid their British winter by coming out to Tenerife.

Although this year, their summer has been so miserable that if they blinked, they missed it!

Of course, with our lovely climate, you can see the attraction for them. From our point of view, it has been a hot, and, for me at least, it seems a particularly humid summer.

My daughter, for example, is desperate for it to rain, but she’ll also be the first one to complain that it’s cold when she is sitting there in her Ugg boots!

For our furniture business, the arrival of the Swallows mean a shift in the kind of business we do. Most of them already have their houses

Page 38

established here, and have had them for many years.

So a lot of our work in the next few months will comprise minor refurbs of their properties; perhaps some new curtains, some re-upholstery and a few additional bits of furniture, such as mattresses, etc.

This week, for example, a couple came to see me from Royal Palm. They had a lovely leather-effect suite, but over the last few years, the seats had become split and worn in the areas they used most.

They were reluctant to buy a new suite because it was so comfortable and fitted perfectly into their property.

We discussed various options and, because the sofa was in good condition structurally, we considered re-upholstering the whole suite.

But in the end, because the

wear and tear was limited to such a small area, namely the seat cushions where they sat habitually, and the pouffe they used to put their feet on, we decided to deal with just these areas.

In the event, we reupholstered the seat cushions for both sofas in a material that toned with the existing leather and with the curtain colour, and the whole pouffe to make a contrast.

This meant that the clients spent a few hundred euros instead of more than 1,000 to replace it, and they were very happy with the outcome.

Fortunately for me, they have decided to use the money they saved to buy some new curtains for another room!

One of the services Deco Nuevo are delighted to offer, is that we will visit your property and advise on design ideas, and work that can be done to achieve your ideas without exceeding the budget. There is no cost for this service, and no obligation.

Please remember that we have moved to Parque Margarita, next to Bar Margarita, Rimini, and the old Travel Shop!

Apple iPad is just around the corner APPLE’S hotly-anticipated iPad mini could be on sale by November, judging by the rumours surrounding the company’s latest device.

The launch event is said to be taking place on 17th October 17, with the tablet being available a fortnight later.

But Apple officials always play their cards (and tablets) close to their chest and never reveal details of their product launches until it suits them.

Yet the rumours surrounding the iPhone 5 turned out to be largely correct, and they may also

prove likewise for the new tablet.

According to Forbes, the date of the launch, and the device’s actual existence, was confirmed by a “major Apple investor” who said he had received details from multiple sources. And invitations to the launch are thought to be going out on Wednesday (10th Oct).

The expected smaller, cheaper version of the iPad is often referred to as the iPad mini or iPad air, and is usually described as having a 7.85in screen.

Apple is said to be going head to head with the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD, while Japanese fan site Macatakara suggests the new device will be given a housing made

of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic.

It said the project was being supervised by Kevin Kenney, Apple’s senior composites engineer, who used to build carbon-fibre bicycles for US firm Kestrel.

British tech site Trusted Reviews said some sources were quoting a price of around £200, which is half the price of the entry-level iPad. Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD, which has a 7in screen, retails for £159 and has dual Wi-Fi. A second version with a larger screen is not yet available in the UK. The iPad mini, in contrast, is predicted to offer 3G as well.

Google’s Android tablet, the Nexus 7, again has a 7in screen and also sells for £159.

Recycled coat on sale in M&S LAST month M&S was named as responsible retailer of the year at the world retail awards.

This week, the high street chain have announced it’s about to sell its first garment made from second-hand clothing donated by customers as part of its Shwop scheme, launched back in April.

Marks and Spencer claims that the limited-edition ladies’ coat will be the first item on the high street to be made from old or unwanted pieces of clothing donated by its own shoppers; the “Shwop Coat” is made from wool and will sell for £89 in selected stores and online from October 10th.

M&S has asked its customers to leave an old item of clothing each time they purchase something new, with the aim of collecting the equivalent number of pieces as they sell.

The donated clothing goes to Oxfam, with any items unsuitable for resale shipped to Italy, reduced to fibre form, cleaned and made into new fabric before being sold on to M&S suppliers.

Mark Sumner, a spokesman for M&S’s Plan A sustainability project, said:“The Shwop Coat marks a huge step forwards for creating a sustainable future for fashion.

“It’s also great for our customers who can not only

see what shwopping their old and unwanted clothes can lead to, but also get their hands on a stylish coat that looks great but costs less.”

In relation to the accolade, awarded for the companies that are ‘outstanding corporate citizens’ and ‘deliver world class standards of best practice in corporate responsibility’, comes soon after M&S was named Company of the Year at Business in the Community’s Awards for Excellence.

M&S CEO Marc Bolland collected the award and said: “It is our mission to engage millions of people in the journey to a world of more sustainable consumption through customer initiatives like Shwopping. Eco-friendly,

multi-channel shops like our new Cheshire Oaks store are the future. Plan A is how we do business at M&S - it involves our customers, our employees, our suppliers and our supplier’s suppliers. We are fully committed to it” The judges recognised the scale of achievement of Plan A, M&S’ 180 commitment eco and ethical programme, in making the company’s operations carbon neutral, sending zero waste to landfill and its commitment to develop more sustainable products, help its customers live more sustainable lives and engage with its employees.

Marks & Spencer jointly won the award alongside its South African partner Woolworths.

Getting to the root of your gardening problems!

Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com

Shades of Autumn

Dear David My friend gave me a small selection of tomato plants which I planted a number of weeks ago in my flowerbed.

I’ve been regularly watering them along with my petunias and geraniums which are flowering but even though my tomatoes are flowering, I have tiny baby green tomatoes the leaves are turning yellow.

I want to keep then organic, do you have any suggestions?

Steve, Adeje Dear Steve, I presume that you are unsure of the tomato variety as you do not mention it, that is immaterial really as due to the Tenerife climate tomatoes are very easy to grow.

Yellowing leaves can be due to a number of reasons:- over watering or nine times out of ten soil quality.

There are a huge range of varieties available to the gardener, and home grown, fresh picked tomatoes cannot be beaten on flavour. But tomato leaves have a tendency to develop blotches, mottles, and discolorations, giving rise to much anxiety. Generally, problems sort themselves out, and a good crop develops, however dreadful the leaves look in early summer. The gardener worries that these symptoms are indicative of a major virus attack, or lack of food - but in most cases the causes are environmental.

Tomatoes are herbicide sensitive. Even if you have never used a weedkiller, spray form other gardens, or pavement spraying, can drift surprisingly far, even into greenhouses.

Distorted, twisted leaves and stems are classic signs of herbicide damage. Fruits will also be distorted.

Tomatoes hate over-feeding, yet they are also greedy plants.

What a challenge! Don’t be tempted to feed young seedlings that are looking sad.

To provide adequate nutrients for the season, grow in well-fed soil. If your plot is sandy and free-draining, you’ll need to add plenty of organic material - garden compost or wellrotted manure - to improve the growing conditions.

Interveinal yellowing, together with dryish brown patches on the leaves, is often a sign of lack of adequate nutrients. Try a feed such as seaweed extract.

Wait until the first truss has set before feeding and always keep to the recommended

RHS London Shades of Autumn Show will be packed with autumnplanting inspiration to extend the gardening season.

dose. Over feeding is more frequently a cause of problems than underfeeding. Too much potash too soon, (potash is the ash from burnt wood) for example invariably locks-up nutrients such as magnesium.

Magnesium can be found in Epsom salts.

There is an old wives tale that well diluted urine is a brilliant feed for yellowing tomato foliage but I am yet to be convinced.

Tomatoes get viruses and diseases. If you’ve been growing tomatoes, or plants in the same family (peppers, aubergines), on the same site or in the same greenhouse soil year after year, soil can become infected. Symptoms on leaves and stems vary considerably but include mottling, rolling, distortion, and discoloration.

Always use a four-year rotation pattern. If necessary, put plastic down to cover greenhouse soil, and grow tomatoes in pots or bags for a few years. Soil-borne diseases can last a long time, so prevention is the better option.

Old leaves near the base of a well grown tomato plant will tend to turn yellow and brown.

Don’t panic. As long as the rest of the plant looks fine, and fruits are growing well, there is no need to worry. There are plenty of other leaves to feed the plant and these old ones can be removed.

Oscillating temperatures and excess static starch result in inward-curling leaves.

Typically, June mornings are cold, with temperatures quickly soaring at midday - these widely fluctuating temperatures can cause leaves to curl inwards.

Long days and short nights can leave plants struggling to process the sugars made during the day.

THIS WEEK’S GARDEN JOBS · Lift dahlia tubers or protect those left in the ground with a thick mulch of straw or bark Sow sweet peas now for bigger, earlier blooms next year · Collect seeds and berries from shrubs and flowering plants that you want to propagate · Empty and clean out delicate glazed or ceramic pots not being used · Remove suckers growing around the base of trees · Prepare areas to plant new roses · Buy primroses and primulas for seasonal colour · Lift and divide congested clumps of perennials · Move shrubs that have outgrown their position or are in the wrong place

· Pile bark mulch over the crowns of hardy fuchsias to provide protection · Lift and store carrots · Pot up chives and other herbs to bring under cover for winter use · Sow green manure crops over bare areas of soil · Sow broad beans for early pickings next May or June · Prune out fruited blackberry canes and tie in new shoots to replace them · Cover productive areas of herbs and salads with cloches for protection · Sow hardy peas under cloches · Wrap grease bands around the trunks of fruit trees to protect them from winter moths

The National Trust opened the new £18.5million Giant’s Causeway Visitor Centre less than three months ago. In this short period the World Heritage Site has already welcomed 250,000 visitors from 130 countries, including over 90,000 from Northern Ireland.

Go wild... in pots MANY wildflowers are what they call annuals and can be planted now, especially after this little sprinkling of rain.

As you’ll see when you drive around or whilst taking a bus trip a whole array of foliage and flowers adorn the roadsides here in Tenerife.

Now, you don’t have to have a garden to grow flowers, a terrace or window

sill will do a single pot. At the moment the garden centres have a good range of mixed seeds available; literally a packet of wild flower seed that has already been mixed for you.

The benefit of wild flowers is that they will attract other insects into the garden that will in turn help pollinate other flowers and vegetables.

If you want the finish product straight away and don’t want to sow seeds then try buying plug plants, but over here I’ve not seen any wildflower plugs – unless you know differently.

CARL PATTISON

from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions

Mmmm… chocolate!

IF grey is the new black, then chocolate hair colour is the new blonde!

Autumn is here, and taking a look at this season’s musthave clothing inspired me to write this week’s column.

Brown and black are this season’s “in” colours, so hair fashion follows suit and the darker tones creep to the forefront, with chocolatebrown being my most requested colour.

Okay, it doesn’t suit you ladies with lighter skin tones, but anyone with tanned to olive skin will love this colour.

It gives off such a shine when applied correctly, replacing any dry ends with a whole new lease of life.

But don’t go for too red a tone, though, because this could look “last season” and can drain your skin.

Your tone should look warm in artificial light and slightly fiery in the sunlight.

It really brings out the eyes of those with green, brown or hazel tones, and great if you want to add colour to your natural brown without going overboard.

If you have gone too far with the bleach this summer, then it’s ideal for a new look without causing more damage to your hair because we use the weakest of all peroxides to achieve this colour.

This ensures that whatever the condition of your hair, the end result will be smooth, glossy and silky-looking hair.

If you are going for this type of colouring, then you need to think about your make-up, too, as this will need to match.

Page 40

There’s no point going for the pastel shades, and you may need to darken things down with your eye and lip colour to blend with your new chocolate look.

Ask your stylist to show you the various shades available

in these colours - although to me, the mid-to-dark browns look the best.

But don’t opt for too light a shade as this can look a little “gingery” as it fades.

Last but not least, don’t forget that your new colour will need lots of protection from the sun over here.

Always apply a recommended sun-screen to you hair and, as always, your favourite Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner to replenish and protect as well.

Be warned, though, that this colour isn’t easily removed if, say, you want to be blonde in six months. It’s not going to happen, so please consult your stylist before you jump in.

After saying that, though, nearly all my clients who have tried this colour have soon become “chocoholics”!

Annual blood test may do away with the mammograms WOMEN could be spared the inconvenience of mammograms in the future and, instead, have a simple blood test annually to check for early signs of breast cancer.

British researchers are developing a blood test to scan for tell-tale warning signs in their DNA, which could be even more accurate than X-rays at spotting the disease early.

They are now starting a trial at London’s Charing Cross Hospital. They hope to take blood from 500 women who have been asked back after shadows were spotted on their mammograms.

The researchers will then compare the DNA in the blood of women who go on to be diagnosed with breast cancer with those found to be free of the disease, to see what DNA markers are consistent.

They have already found some DNA markers which indicate when breast cancer

is present.

Should this first human trial be successful, they will start a new one looking at whether the blood test could be used as a breastcancer screening tool for all middle-aged and older women.

Dr Jacqui Shaw, principal investigator from Leicester University, said: “This exciting research means we could one day have a blood test that detects the very early signs of cancer, meaning women could have an annual blood test rather than breast screening.”

And she suggested that if everything works out well, the blood test could be available in five years.

“This approach has the potential to impact significantly on screening in quite a short time,” added Dr Shaw.

The study, collaboration between Leicester University and Imperial College London, is being funded by Cancer Research UK. Imperial’s Professor Charles Coombes said: “When a woman has breast

cancer, we can tell by the DNA in their blood. But what we’re trying to find out is how early the signs of breast cancer show up in a blood test.”

Early indications are that the test could pick up cancer earlier than identifying lumps by X-ray, and Prof Coombes added: “By looking at blood samples of women who have breast cancer diagnosed through screening, we can see if the cancer is already showing in their blood.”

The blood test, he said, could also help doctors tailor breast-cancer treatments for individual patients.

“It would provide the clinician with some idea of what genetic abnormalities are occurring in the cancer, and that would help the clinician treat the patient more specifically and with less toxicity.”

Breast cancer kills about 12,000 women a year in Britain, while there are some 40,000 new cases annually.

The researchers are also looking at applying the technique to lung and bowel cancer.

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

Modified cow may halt milk allergies in babies SCIENTISTS in New Zealand have engineered a genetically-modified cow which produces milk less likely to cause allergic reactions.

As many as 3% of babies are allergic to cows’ milk in their

THE United Nations has warned that the world needs to do more to prepare for the impact of a rapidly-ageing population, particularly in developing countries.

Within 10 years the number of people aged over 60 will pass one billion - it’s growing faster than any other age group - says a report by the UN Population Fund.

That demographic shift will present huge challenges to welfare, pension and healthcare systems, and the UN agency also said more had to be done to tackle “abuse, neglect and violence against older persons”.

The report, Ageing in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine people around the world is older than 60.

This elderly population is expected to swell by 200 million in the next decade, surpassing one billion,

first year, but this modified animal’s milk does not contain beta-lactoglobulin - a whey protein to which affects some people. The study has been described as a “milestone” by one scientist,

but some campaign groups say it raises ethical concerns.

There are important differences between a woman’s breast milk and cows’ milk, such as betalactoglobulin, which is found

in milk from cows but not people. The researchers, at AgResearch and the University Waikato, said: “It is not surprising that is constitutes a major milk allergen.”

We’re living longer and, globally, old folk should really enjoy themselves and reach two billion by 2050. It is a consequence of success: improved nutrition, sanitation, healthcare, education and economic well-being are contributing factors, says the report.

But the UN and HelpAge International, a charity which also contributed to the report, agree that the ageing population is being widely mismanaged.

The agencies wrote in a joint statement: “In many developing countries with large populations of young people, the challenge is that governments have not put policies and practices in place to support their current older populations, or made enough preparations for 2050.”

The report warns that the skills and experience

of older people are being wasted, with many underemployed and vulnerable to discrimination.

HelpAge said more countries needed to introduce pension schemes to ensure economic independence and reduce poverty in old age. It was not enough, said the agency, to simply pass legislation. The new schemes needed to be funded properly.

The UN report cited India as an example, saying it needed to take urgent steps in this area.

Almost two-thirds of India’s population are under 30. But it also has 100 million elderly people, and that figure that is expected to increase threefold by 2050.

Traditionally, people in India live in large, extended

families, and elderly people have always been looked after well. . But the trend now is to have smaller families, and many of the country’s elderly are finding themselves cast out, says the BBC’s Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi.

By contrast, the UN report cited the case of Bolivia as an example of good practice in the developing world.

All Bolivians over the age of 60 get a pension which is the equivalent of about £19 a month.

Bolivia suffers from frequent flooding and landslides, and older people there have been organised into “Brigadas Blancas” (White-Haired Brigades).

They help with preparations for emergencies, and accessing humanitarian aid.

The instructions for making the beta-lactoglobulin protein are contained in genes in the cow’s DNA. But the scientists added extra genetic material to disrupt the manufacturing process, using a technique called RNA interference.

The resulting calf was born without a tail, however, but the researchers say that is “unlikely” to be because of the genetic modification. It has not yet become pregnant and produced milk normally, so the scientists used hormones to jump-start milk production.

In the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers wrote: “All milk samples from the transgenic calf were devoid of any detectable betalactoglobulin.”

They concluded that the technique was an “efficient tool” for modifying livestock.

The University of Nottingham’s Professor Keith Campbell, a member of the team who cloned Dolly the sheep, said the researchers would need to show that the effect lasted throughout the lifetime of each cow, and that it was passed on through several generations. Prof Campbell added: “It’s very interesting, and it’s another way of showing that the technology

can be pushed forward with potentially-useful outcomes.

“There are zero risks in my opinion because, if it were poisonous, the animal would be dead.”

Bruce Whitelaw, a professor of animal biotechnology at the University of Edinburgh, said: “This is notable since it represents one of the few RNA interference success stories in mammals.

“RNA interference has a long history of successful application in diverse species, from plants to worm, this is the first spectacular report for livestock.

“Time will tell how widely applicable RNA interference will be in GM livestock, but this is certainly a milestone study in this field.”

But Pete Riley, from the group GM Freeze, said: “Before this goes any further, they need to establish what caused the calf’s defect as there is a possible link to the GM approach.”

He said the depth of understanding about the role of genes and how they interact was too weak, and that more basic research was still needed.

“We can learn a lot by looking at less-complicated organisms than cattle,” he added.

UK treatment of ovarian cancer has deadly finale!

THE tragedy of women in the UK with ovarian cancer is that they are dying needlessly - because they can’t get the best treatment available!

It is the fifth-most-common cancer found in British women and affects more than 6,500 a year.

Cancer Survival Group researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, funded by the Department of Health, compared the survival rates of 20,000 patients in Australia,

Canada, Denmark, Norway and the UK - and the latter was rated worst of all.

Yet results show that the percentage of women with advanced disease is similar to those in other countries.

But their survival rate is much lower. More than 66% of women with this cancer survive more than a year now in England and Wales, compared with fewer than half in the mid-70s. But they still lag behind other countries.

Experts had thought late diagnosis could explain that poor showing. But the findings, in the journal Gynaecologic Oncology, suggest problems accessing

05 October - 11 October 2012

successful treatment are to blame.

Lead author Dr Bernard Rachet said: “Our research shows that more effort should be made to ensure that women with ovarian cancer here in the UK have the same access to the best treatments.”

One-year survival was 69% in the UK compared with 72% in Denmark and 74-75% in the other three countries.

Sara Hiom, of Cancer Research UK (CRUK), said: “This disturbing research advances our knowledge about what needs to be done to tackle lower ovarian cancer survival in the UK.”

Surprise, surprise, I’m just tongue-Thaid with delight!

I HAVE to start by saying that I wasn’t looking forward to this review because in the past, I have had Thai food elsewhere and wasn’t that impressed.

But true professional that I am, Thursday night arrived and off we went.Thai Botanico is situated upstairs in the left corner of the Safari Centre, just down from Biancos and Imperial Tai-Pan. And, like all the restaurants in this area, it just screams class, from the furniture to the authentic statues, the foliage to the cutlery, every detail has been thought out to give an authentic dining experience.

I arrived slightly late and joined my partner, who was already enjoying a fruity glass of house red and scanning the menu.

I have tried Thai food on two other occasions only, and really didn’t have a clue what to order. But I needn’t have worried because, just these occasions, Thai Botanico have a secret weapon in the

Page 42

guise of the lovely Lydia, our waitress.

She explained every dish, with the knowledge of a chef, and made everything sound delicious. So with her advice ringing in our ears, we ordered our dishes.

Our starters arrive: Thai Oriental special mixed hors d’oeuvres - a mixture of many of the separate items available from the entrées menu and a window into the world of Thai food.

From the succulent fish cakes and prawn paper rolls, to the fabulously tender chicken satay skewers and Thai spring rolls, this was an excellent choice and, with an accompaniment of wonderfully-flavoured dips, managed to hit every taste bud on the way down.

Now not a fishy person, as I stated in the past, so you would have been proud of me. Lydia recommended the mussels for my partner, who decided to go for a half-portion because they sounded so good.

Actually, they were even better than that as I went for it. Yes, a full portion, and

believe me that’s up there with inventing the wheel as far as discoveries go. And the sauce they came in was mind-blowing. I could quite happily drink a mug of this stuff - superb!

So, with my new love of mussels carving a large smile on my face, we head to the main courses, and this is where I write, word for word, how Lydia explained one of them to us. I guarantee your mouth will be watering, so here goes.

“Ban Tam Chicken in a green curry with honey and black pepper; a whole chicken slowly roasted in the oven with green curry, lemon grass and many Thai special spices, then chopped and cooked slowly on the grill while being rubbed with a mixture of honey and cracked black peppe r(slaver, slaver).”This was exactly as it sounded incredible!

The other main course didn’t disappoint, either, Lamb masaman curry, slowly roasted Lamb so tender I couldn’t keep it on my fork, with aubergines and potatoes and a sauce that I can taste as

I’m writing this. I have never tasted anything like this before, as every mouthful opened up a plethora of flavours, each one separate but belonging with the next, I guess I have definitely been, pardon the pun, Un-Thaid.

I finished as always with dessert and again with a Thai feel I plumped for mango cheesecake with coconut icecream and a raspberry coulis.

It rounded off perfectly one

of the best meals I have ever had.

If you’ve never tried Thai, or have had a half-hearted meal elsewhere, you must not let it put you off. Give Thai Botanico a try and you will not be disappointed.

Incidentally, as this is a family restaurant and as their motto says, “It doesn’t have to be spice to be nice”, and that all the dishes can be adjusted to your liking, I asked for my

curry to be slightly more spicy than normal.

But it could easily have been the other way and, if say, you don’t care for fresh coriander, it’s not a problem. Because every dish is freshly prepared, they will leave that out for you. In conclusion, we had an incredible evening, so big thanks to all, especially Lydia and Leanne, our North-West waiting tag team. We will be back very soon.

Here comes the Thomson Cruise!

The Australian Great Barrier Reef shrinking CONCERNS are mounting that Australia’s most remarkable Great Barrier Reef which is blessed with the breathtaking beauty of being the world’s largest coral reef has shrunk by over half in the past three decades.

Marine scientists say that starfish are partly to blame coupled with numerous tropical cyclones; the fear is that the coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs, 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kms over an area of approximately 344,400 sqkms located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, north-east Australia, could halve again in the next ten years.

Since 1985 there have been 34 tropical cyclones thought to have caused nearly fifty percent of the damage, the other damage attributed to the coral-feeding crown-ofthorns starfish.

Author Hugh Sweatman said the findings, drawn from the world’s biggest ever reef monitoring project Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, involving 2,258 surveys over 27 years, showed that coral could recover from such trauma.

“This loss of over half of initial cover is of great concern, signifying habitat

loss for the tens of thousands of species associated with tropical coral reefs,” the study said.

“But recovery takes between 10 and 20 years.

At present, the intervals between the disturbances are generally too short for full recovery and that’s causing the long-term losses,” Mr Sweatman said following the study which was published on Monday.

John Gunn, head of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences, said researchers could focus their shortterm efforts on the large, poisonous and spiny starfish, which feasts on coral polyps and can devastate reef cover.

“We can’t stop the storms but perhaps we can stop the starfish, if we can, then the reef will have more opportunity to adapt to the challenges of rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification.” said Mr. Gunn.

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world; the reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage site back in 1981.

Unesco has warned it is considering listing the reef as a heritage site in danger earlier this year due to the unprecedented gas and coal mining boom in northern Australia and increasing coastal development.

TODAY (Friday) sees the welcome return of the Thomson cruise season in the Canaries.

First to our shores will be the Thomson Dream, which is their biggest ship yet. In fact, it’s 30% more spacious than most other ships in its class.

Not only does it give you more room, it’s more stylish, too.

Take the cabins, for example.

As well as being the biggest in the fleet, they come with interior-designed good looks - think neutral colours accented by bold feature walls.

In the shared spaces, meanwhile, it’s got all the hallmarks of a classic Thomson ship. That means large bars made for mingling, and cosy corners perfect for a nightcap. Plus, there are four restaurants offering everything from 24-hour buffets to tasty à la carte dishes.

As for extras, you’ll find two swimming pools, including one which has a retractable roof. Last but not least is the theatre. Spread over two storeys, with a mix of chairs, booths and seats for two, it’s like a little slice of the West End at sea. You will also find a casino, beauty salon and fitness centre.

The Thomson dream will be sailing the Colourful Coasts itinerary until 16th November.

Thomson Majesty, the latest addition to the Thomson Cruises fleet will then be welcomed to our shores for the first time.

Thomson Majesty is every bit as impressive as the company’s other ships. Cabins are modern and well-dressed, and every outside cabin comes with a picture window.

Thomson Majesty also plays host to five restaurants and the full range of bars and entertainment venues think stylish piano bars and lounges that bring you the best in entertainment.

Another of the ship’s

stand-out features is its spa.

With two saunas and seven themed treatment rooms including a couples’ massage room - it’s the ultimate relaxation zone.

See the Atlantic’s most eye-catching coastlines on this fantastic, seven-night cruise, taking in the following amazing locations: Day 1: Friday, Santa Cruz (TENERIFE) - Embark Day 2: Saturday, Las Palmas (GRAN CANARIA) Day 3: Sunday, Santa Cruz de la Palma (LA PALMA) Day 4: Monday, Funchal (MADEIRA) Day 5: Tuesday, At sea Day 6: Wednesday, Agadir (MOROCCO) Day 7: Thursday, Arrecife (LANZAROTE) Day 8: Friday, Santa Cruz (TENERIFE) - Disembark This amazing cruise can be booked direct with the Thomson Tenerife Flights office at C/C El Duque in Costa Adeje (opposite the Thursday and Saturday market). Liza, Katie and Mark are there to

answer any question and assist in booking your cruise.

When booking direct with the office here in Tenerife, you will also receive free return transfer from the South airport to the port in Santa Cruz.

Also, to celebrate the start of the Thomson Cruise season here in the Canaries, the office has a FREE cruise for two adults on the Thomson Majesty, departing Tenerife in January.

For every flight seat purchased until 1st November, you will be automatically entered into the draw.

The draw will take place on Friday, 2nd November and the Canarian Weekly will be there.

The lucky winner will be contacted by telephone that the same day.

So don’t miss out. Contact the Thomson Flights office for all your Thomson flights and cruise bookings on 922 761 202, email Tenerife.flights@ tui-uk.co.uk or follow them on Facebook for flight and cruise availability.

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel

Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com

F-Type sends Jaguar soaring JAGUAR took the wraps off their exciting new F-Type Roadster the night before the Paris Motor Show opened on Saturday.

It was a world debut for the long-awaited model, and it was hailed as a welcome return to the company’s strongest tradition: the twoseater convertible sports car.

Although the C-X16 concept car that previewed the F-Type was a coupe, not a roadster, the production car’s styling has remained faithful.

Recognisable from the concept are the double blades in the front bumper, the power bulge in the bonnet and the vertical bixenon headlights with LED running lights.

The front-end is familiar from the rest of the Jaguar range and Ian Callum, Jaguar’s Chief Designer, said: “The grille is evolved from the XJ and XF. The first iteration of the F-Type had an oval one, but I wanted continuity in the range.”

At the rear, there’s a striking pair of narrow tail-lights - a clear nod towards the E-Type - and a pop-up spoiler that deploys automatically.

“The rear spoiler pops up at 60mph with the Jaguar name on it,” said Callum. “We needed the Jaguar name to be more prominent to promote the brand in China and the US.” The interior is more driverfocused than any previous Jaguar and, said Callum: “It had to be cockpitlike because we wanted something that enveloped the driver.”

To achieve that aim, a grab-handle protrudes from the centre-console on the passenger side, while the gearstick and toggle switch for Dynamic mode take inspiration from a fighter jet.

The bank of switches below the air-con dials is another aeronautical reference, and another distinctive feature is the air-vent, which rises up from the top of the dashboard - but only when required!

The roof is a traditional fabric construction, which

can raise or lower itself in only 12 seconds and at speeds up to 30mph.

It’s much lighter than a folding metal hard-top and is one of several weightsaving measures on the F-Type. Not least is the allaluminium chassis, said to be 10% more rigid than that of the XKR-S. In its lightest form, the F-Type weighs 1,597kg, which is 198kg less than the XKR-S convertible.

Three models will be available from launch, each with a different engine. The F-Type and F-Type S are both powered by a new 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine, producing 335bhp and 375bhp respectively.

The range-topping F-Type V8 S crams a 488bhp 5.0-litre super-charged V8 under the bonnet.

All models are fitted with stop-start and an eight-speed automatic gearbox, while the V6-powered S model gets a launch-control function.

That allows it to cover 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 171mph, while returning 31mpg and emitting 213g/km of CO2.

The entry-level F-Type takes 5.3 seconds to go from 0-62mph, tops out at 161mph and returns 31.4mpg and 209g/km.

Way out in front is the F-Type V8 S, doing 0-62mph in just 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 186mph. For all this, however, it will still return a respectable 25.5mpg and emit 259g/km of CO2.

An active exhaust, optional on the base F-Type and standard on the two S models, opens a set of valves above 3,000rpm so you can hear the V6 or V8 engine on full song.

Select the Dynamic mode, which sharpens throttle response, increases steering weight, speeds up the gearbox, firms up the suspension and widens the ESP’s electronic safety net and the exhaust valves stay open all the time.

The Jaguar F-Type goes on sale next spring, and prices will start at £58,500 for the base model, rising to £67,500 for the F-Type S and a whopping £79,950 for the F-Type V8 S.

05 October - 11 October 2012

THE Suzuki S-Cross, also unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, is not replacing the company’s SX4 but will be a stand-alone model.

Senior Suzuki executives say the production model, which should hit showrooms towards the end of next year, will sit above the SX4 in the Suzuki model range - as a Nissan Qashqai rival.

As you can see, it’s a whole lot sportier than the SX4. In profile, the S-Cross almost echoes the Range Rover Evoque, with a gentlysloping roofline meeting a rising waistline.

The sleek LED tail and fog lights, revealed in preshow teaser images, are accompanied by LED strips on the front end, hawkeye headlights and razor-thin LED-accented wing mirrors.

The S-Cross also features a dark-chrome mesh front grille, front skid-plate, flared wing-arches and brash, 20inch chrome wheels. Both two and four-wheel-drive versions will be available.

There’s also a possibility of a hot Sport model. Senior engineer Yasushi Sasaki says: “We want to see the demand first, but the platform can be

It's thumbs up for new S-Cross model adapted to that.” While the SX4 is based on the old Swift, the S-Cross is built on an entirely new platform. And it will spearhead a Suzuki crossover product offensive.

Kenichi Ayukawa, Suzuki executive general manager of global marketing, says the company plan to launch one new crossover model for four consecutive years, from 2013.

One of those models will

be an SX4 replacement, but there will be at least one other brand-new car, developed from the same platform as the S-Cross, as well as a city-car crossover.

Ayukawa added: “We believe the trend for crossover vehicles will continue for a while, because the passenger car market is very quiet. People want crossovers, not just in Europe, but in Asia and

around the world.” And there is a particular focus on crossovers in the UK. Suzuki general manager of dealer development, Dale Wyatt, said: “Crossovers and SUVs allow us to access families - it’s our fastestgrowing area.

“We think that if we can have a family-car crossover with a competitive family-car price point, it will be a nice sweet spot for us.”

Match Report

By Geoff Huxtable FOR the first time ever, this season’s fixture list for the Premier League includes two Allstar team events.

The first of these, the singles, took place at the Phoenix Bar on Friday.

Captained by Mr Elkington and Mr Huxtable, 16 of the Division’s elite players were split at random into two eight-man teams to do battle for their respective

captains.

Players and spectators were treated to some cracking matches, most of which went down to the deciding fifth leg.

At the halfway point, which saw copious amounts of maximums and high checkouts, the Secretary’s team were comfortably ahead at 7-1.

The second round of matches were just as close, but despite a serious amount of encouragement

for his lads, our Chairman’s team crashed to a 12-4 defeat.

So, it’s 1-0 to Team Huxtable, but Team Elkington have a chance to level the score at the doubles event, which will take place at Bar 180 later in the season.

To add an extra twist, if the scores are levelled, the team captains will throw a one-leg shoot-out on presentation night! (Now, where did I

put my darts?) After last week’s slip-up, Ourplace Naturals earned a fine win at promotion rivals Target Titans, while Bar 180 B enjoyed their third win, at home to Barracuda Bytes. Palms A whitewashed Marilyns and Scruffy Macs’ John hit another maximum in a drawn match with Sundowners.

routine win at Inn The Pink A, while Tenerife Hammers A were made to work for their win over The Peacocks. They rallied from 4-2 down to win 7-5. Palms A returned to winning ways against a Toscales team who had won four on the spin. They were good value for the 8-4 success, as were Dreamers (9-3) over Bar La Cana.

The game of the night saw Terrace A edge out Phoenix Knights. The visitors were boosted by Marky P’s return, but all the Terrace lads (well, Adi aside) chipped in as they nicked the points.

The top of Division Two sees a four-team spilt at the top, although The Square may have something to say about that

after they secured six points this week. Next Door are still 100%, the Full Monty being their latest victims, but James Place are on their coat-tails after their the 8-4 success at The Bluebell. Treehouse A spanked Picasso’s, but there was no such joy for Treehouse B, who went down at home to Tenerife Pool Tables, thanks in part to skipper Stu. Not only did he lose the deciding rubber but he lost it, comfortably, to seven, yes seven-year-old Harley! Well done kid.

Gaffers B claimed all three points at still-winless Jardin Canario, while the Silencio derby and bragging rights went to Exiles A, who beat the B team 10-2.

Elsewhere, the Playboys thumped Summerlands 7-1.

Bar 180 C continue to lead Division 2, courtesy of a 5-3 win over Bar Plaza Rebels.

Tenerife stutter - Marino improve CD Tenerife 1 Zamora 1 Real Oviedo 0 CD Marino 0 BOTH Tenerife sides drew on Sunday and while the stats will say they both got the same reward, nothing could be further from the truth.

Marino’s point could be season-changing.

Oviedo are a genuine big fish in this league. The Las Americas lads had been 12-1 underdogs, yet they returned from the mainland with a point, a clean sheet and a big smile.

Maybe sides will now show them some respect. All the problems off the field melted away as they chased, hurried and frustrated the life out of Real. They rode their luck, and had a chance or two themselves.

Yes, they are rock-bottom, but the players should be buzzing on Sunday when they host Fuenlabrada. Three points for Marino would make the world a much brighter place for them and their supporters.

Tenerife’s point, however, was disappointing. The last two matches have set off a warning light. Just like last season, they are dominating, creating and not scoring.

There is competition for places and maybe the side need a reboot! Aridane notched again and his place is safe.

Chechu had his worst match of the season (to be fair he wasn't fully fit) while there are now big problems in midfield.

Yeray was sent off after being substituted (two-game ban) for giving the ref some verbals and this could lead to a shake-up.

Ros is a decent midfield general or water-carrier, but he gives nothing to the attack. Medina, Abel, Nico and Josmar are all options, while the big question remains: “What has happened to Victor Bravo?”

He turned down some decent clubs overseas to re-sign in the summer and, after a late preparation, he is fully fit and ready for war. A few weeks ago, he came off the

bench and scored the winner against Ourense.

But since then … nothing. Not even a place on the bench. It seems that coach Alvaro Cervera doesn’t fancy him. He can be lazy and has had as many good games as bad for Tenerife. But at this level, he should be starting.

The same can be said for the enigma who is Josmar.

The Venezulan wonderkid must be wondering why he returned in the summer. “He will play a lot,” said director of football Quique Medina.

He hasn’t played a minute!

Ditto Nico. When a side are doing well, that is fine. But at the moment, they are not, and the kids should be given their head.

Despite the poor few weeks, Tenerife are still top of the table and this Sunday they face a unique test. A few years ago, they were trading blows with Real Madrid, while last season they beat and finished second to the stiffs, Real Madrid Castilla. This weekend, the recent slump hits home as they

05 October - 11 October 2012

face the youth team, Real Madrid C. As you'd expect at Real, the kids are all right and some future stars will be on display.

They have started well to life at this level, and it’s really all about toughening them up.

I love the way the reserves get proper league experience rather than their own Mickey Mouse matches.

I know traditionalists would frown, but it really should be allowed in England. Imagine how much better the kids would be. Why can’t Leyton Orient or Barnet be Spurs reserves?

I’ve seen first-hand the way it brings players on. Only 18 months ago, in the pouring rain, Barca B took apart a Tenerife side with swagger and grace. Oriol Romeu (now at Chelsea), Nolito, Montoya, Soriano, Tello, dos Santos and all were a joy to watch. Real’s B team, Castilla, are the same and this C team are the lifeblood.

This standard, like in England, is full of ugly sides and it’s a great grounding for

them. In many ways, playing Tenerife will help them as the

pressure is off. Dani Ramirez is their star man at the moment,

Horoscopes of the week Libra

(September 24th - October 23rd) Romance must not be rushed, because this is not the time to make or break a commitment to which you have not given a lot of thought. Slow this impulsive mood down by taking a new group of friends up on a social offer that is sure to blow away the cobwebs. A good time should actually turn out to be just what the doctor ordered, especially with events forecast for the weekend.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Your dramatic nature is making you feel that a problem is bigger than it really is. If you are not careful, you will make a loved one think your words are serious - but you know it is just a temporary case of dramatics which has gotten out of hand S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) You are not having the easiest of times as you battle to understand the reasoning of those close to you. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to invest money in entertainment; the best choices will not cost you a penny, as you should soon find out. Virgos prove pushy in business, but go slow because, the chances are they have a willing formula to share with you.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) A personal goal t you have long been hoping to attain is at last within your reach, but you may have to reorganise your working week in order to give it your utmost attention. Look out for an old friend who is coming back on the social scene and seems determined to speak to you. Take it slow if you want to ensure you don’t get cold feet.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) An unexpected invitation should prove most enjoyable as you get to spend time with someone you have always admired and cared for. Don’t let a younger person push you into letting

Page 48

them do something you know is not really in their best interests. Stand your ground and you’re sure to gain their respect.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You have so many dreams, and you are allowing the opinions of others to cloud what were really very personal ambitions. A new venture is going to be offered to you that could just lead to a successful increase in finances. Don’t let family know how much you do or do not have, though, because they’re niftier than you think at getting their way with you.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) A worry at work is ruining what should be a very happy time. You have allowed things to spiral out of control, but things aren’t as bad as you think they are. Sort out your emotions and try to understand why close ones’ reactions were quite so dramatic to begin with. Ideas you have now should be acted upon.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Pisceans are going to great lengths to be involved in your life and to let you know just how very appreciated you really are. An old problem in the workplace pops up again, making it hard for you to know who you should trust. Answers come with the clarity Jupiter offers, and that includes personally as well as professionally.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Children are of special significance and should be

responsible for some sort of a celebration or get-together which is forecast. Look out for a compatible new person entering your life and, possibly, even your heart from Sunday.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful new chapter of your life.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) A lazy mood may see you in the bad books of friends who had quite a few plans for you over the coming week. You are going to have to find some energy anyway for this week and the surprise visitors that are forecast so you may as well start now and shake off this uncharacteristically staid mood. A new career path is about to make your life a whole lot more interesting.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) You are going to have to do some very careful sums and planning if you are to do all that is on offer for you socially this coming week.

Friends are going to need you to give up some of your private time to help them with some sort of a move or change they are making to their lives.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) The planets are lining up to make you a sucker for a sob story, and even more so for a pretty face. If people you know want to take advantage of you, it is going to be pretty easy for them, so keep out the way of anyone you do not trust.

Don’t be played for a fool.
