180m-euro make-over for Adeje coastal area

A MAJOR investment is coming to the west coast of Tenerife, which will rejuvenate El Puertito and create 1,000 jobs.

This huge boost to the Adeje region was confirmed this week by Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and Urban Development Councillor José María Álvarez Acosta.

They unveiled a new development plan for El Puertito, which will fully respect the natural value and environment of the area, protect the residential zone and the underwater reserve, while also bringing 21st century tourism to this part of the borough and create employment.

At the launch, the Mayor revealed his ambition for this project, saying: “More than 50 % of the land in El Puertito is public land, and only 31% may be used for building.

“Above all, we want to ensure that the natural bounty of the area is protected, and its value respected and improved.

“But as well, and alongside that, we are aware that people have been living in El Puertito for many years, and one of the non-negotiable conditions with the devel-

opers of this new project has been that the small hamlet is protected.

“Another condition that we insisted upon was the strengthening of the marine reserve (Aula Marina), an environmental marine project we have been developing since 2011.”

There will be a modern focus on the area’s tourism. The development will be based on new trends, giving priority to the quality of the infrastructures and services, with emphasis on open spaces for a variety of activities.

Construction design and materials will be chosen to match and integrate into the location.

Also, the project envisag-

es extending the beach area, creating “green” areas, a wooden pathway, lakes, pools, and the development of gardens, as well as a road design which will be as unobtrusive as possible.

Project developer Filip Hoste said Adeje Council had re-allocated land plots to create a more harmonious sector to match current tourism, including open areas to develop sporting and other activities.

Public land will be extended by 10%, with a 5% reduction in building land. The initial investment is estimated at 25m euros,with employment for 250 people over the next 2-3 years.

In the long term, say

the developers, they will create an additional 750 jobs, with an overall investment of 180m euros over five years.

During this time the plan is to build leisure, commercial and beach zones, as well as a number of 5-star hotels and apart-hotels. 750 and 758 beds respectively El Puertito has been screaming out for this redevelopment for some time. It is one of the least-serviced areas in the borough and has a poor infrastructure because of its location.

There are often electricity problems, which this new plan will cure. There will be new, high-tension pylons, while new water sanitation installations will help solve another major problem.

The Mayor also promised an improved telecommunication network, and there will be new access routes to the zone around the coast.

And he has guaranteed more parking spaces.

The developers have also designed a 5km path and a 4km bicycle lane circling the zone.

Another condition demanded by the Mayor to help the initiative has been, since its inception, protection for the 30-orso residents living in El Puertito.

The developer has promised to integrate

their houses into the design and, “where possible, follow the lines of the house designs in the port, which is part of the natural value and charm of the area”.

Mayor Rodríguez Fraga and a representative council group, as well as technical experts from the borough, met El Puertito residents to tell them first-hand, full details of the proposed plan. And to guarantee that their homes and houses would not be affected.

There are also some ambitious plans for the marina. The Aula Marina/Marine Reserve is a project licensed by the national Ministry of the Environment, and developed jointly by Adeje Council and the nongovernmental organisation, Océano Sostenible, which protects and values the marine life in the zone. Land-based infrastructures will be installed on the Marine Reserve, which will enable courses in environmental education, geared towards schools and such, to be held.

The Marine Reserve, a protection and investigation programme focused on the sea bed here, was created by the Council in 2011.

During this time, and always in tandem with the Centro La Tahonilla

and the Tenerife Cabildo Adeje Council has carried out a number of animal rescue-and-recovery programmes, of, for instance, turtles injured by boats, or poor fishing practices.

The programme has also seen the eradication of the sea urchin, which had devastated the sea bed and left it barren, and the return of many species of fish previously indigenous to this zone.

This latter project was carried out with the help of the Loro Parque Foundation.

All in all, these plans are a massive boost to the whole island. There is a fine line between Tenerife keeping its heritage and traditional beauty, and moving into the modern world.

Lots of regions are being redeveloped or improved and the west of the Island is leading the way. There is a strong argument that some of these improvements are soulless and take away the character of our Island.

But there is also a demand for quality, and any move away from cheap, tasteless accommodation and areas has to be applauded.

The Adeje borough has led the way in moving Tenerife forward for the last decade, and its latest, exciting development shows the way.

Stephen storms

THE Starmus Festival has been an out-of-thisworld, mega-hit this week with lots of memorable talks, legends and images.

And few will forget the 45 minutes Stephen Hawking spent in the Magma Centre on Tuesday. For the near 700-strong crowd it was a genuine “I was there” experience.

The physicist entered like a rock star with loud music, a light shower and images of his career smashed all over the large screen.

Hundreds stretched, stood and craned their necks for a glimpse of the 72-year-old as he was brought into the auditorium.

Surrounded by security guards and his carers, he was wheeled gingerly to the mic. You could hear a pin drop as the sound engineer took his time to ensure everything was perfectly set up.

After two long minutes, Hawking said: “Can you hear me?”

And the room erupted in applause.

During his speech, which took some following, he did his best to keep the subject matter easily-understandable as he explained how the “laws” of the “big bang theory” have been tweaked recently.

Hawking said humans are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early Universe, and although very weak and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, in a

way “we are the masters of power”.

He said the next technological revolution will be playing three-dimensional holographic images on television. “The history of the Universe is a three-dimensional object that evolves over time,” he added, explaining that the history of the Universe can be represented as a hologram at the edge of the disc, which is itself a three-dimensional surface of the present

moment. He also mentioned the steady-state theory and explained various investigations into the cosmic microwave background, and the classic theory of general relativity.

Hawking again said: “It makes no sense to ask what happened before the onset of the Universe, or the big bang which expanded by a factor of a million, trillion, trillion in a tiny fraction of a second.”

He shared the results

of new information which advanced studies on the cosmic microwave background, and said the new findings were more accurate, and render 95% of all theories “useless and rubbish”.

Hawking ended by wishing luck to the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) in their research.

Garik Israelian, Starmus organiser and founder, must have been delighted with the

speech and the boost his presence has given the event. But Hawking wasn’t the only show in town, and plenty of other speakers made their mark.

It’s easy to forget that Brian May is a professor and not just the guitarist in Queen. He always seems a little embarrassed to be among this company, but his work shone through on Tuesday.

His slot showcased his work in the 3D field and, with the help of glasses, the large audience was engrossed by “3D in Space”.

Some of the images were, excuse the pun, out of this world. May’s work really brought to life planets, stars, comets and the wonders of space. The images helped you get an understanding and perspective of how vast space and objects can be.

One Mars crater, which was brought to life, showed a huge Grand Canyon-style gorge which was five times deeper than the size of Mount Everest.

Another stunning shot showed a comet and its

tail in such detail that it seemed to be on the end of your nose.

Stunning shots from the Apollo missions dazzled, while the pictures showed how a third dimension helps discover new galaxies and solar systems. Brian May should be proud of his work.

Also on Tuesday, John Mather, a Nobel Prizewinner in Physics, almost stole the show. His perfect speech focused on mapping the Universe, and he said that “we” are moving the process forward.

He explained why there is no centre of the Universe, not even an address, and also said it is unlikely that there is intelligent life beyond Earth.

“Intelligence is very

recent,” said Mather as he showed in depth how everything was formed from second one and how gravity created solar systems and galaxies.

Mather fully explained the work on the James Webb Telescope. This launches in a couple of years and its work will surpass that of the Hubble Telescope.

This project is a collaboration of NASA, European Space Agency and the Canadian agency. Over 1,000 scientists have been working for years towards a 2018 launch.

Mather went into detail on how this will happen and described the process of assembling the telescope in space via remote control. Once the telescope

is in space and fully focused, it will change our understanding on many issues.

He also talked about the time the planet will warm up, when fossil fuels will run out and the possibility of robotic life. It was riveting!

Also at Starmus, Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke dazzled and confused during his talk. He said that his life experience is the “scientific proof” that God exists and that he met him during the attempted suicide of his wife in 1975, a couple of years after he had walked on the Moon.

In a lecture entitled The Dark Side of the Moon, he said that when he boarded Apollo 16, he “was not a Christian” but made a “spir-

itual journey” and saw the “power of God”.

He said he began to read the Bible and that “there is freedom of belief, and I have often seen God since I was 42.

My life has been a miracle”.

It is not known what world famous Atheist Richard Dawkins, who gave an interesting speech on Monday, made of it all.

Duke went into detail

about his Moon journey and said how lucky he had been to walk on the lunar surface.

He pointed out that when they landed, they were six hours late and the landing was nearly aborted. “Landing on the moon was complicated” he said. “It’s like nothing on Earth,” which got a laugh.

“Sleep was impossible and we had to take pills.

But it was nice to walk

on the Moon. It’s covered with fine dust like flour and is very bright.”

He pointed out that one of the happiest moments of the trip was the splashdown in the Pacific. “We were sat there, waiting, thinking ‘if the parachute does not open…’”

Starmus continues today (Friday), with a gala concert at Magma, starring Rick Wakeman and Brian May.

Scottish Yes vote strengthens convictions of the Catalans!

THE Spanish Government has welcomed Scotland’s “No” vote on independence, but Catalans set on breaking away from Spain have pushed ahead defiantly for their own ballot on selfrule.

Nationalists in the north-eastern Catalonia region watched the result from Scotland keenly, knowing a “Yes” result there would have fired up their own campaign to hold a vote - a move fiercely opposed by Spain’s central government.

“We are very happy that Scotland is staying with us,” said Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, hailing the result as positive for “the integration of the European Union”.

But in Catalonia, supporters of independence were undaunted. The region’s president, Artur Mas, said his bid to hold a vote on independence from Spain had been “strengthened” by

Scotland’s referendum regardless of the result - and despite Madrid’s fierce resistance.

“The process in Catalonia continues and is moving ahead,” Mas told a news conference in Barcelona last Friday.

“The Catalan process is strengthened because we have seen how an EU country can agree to allow a vote In fact, Catalonia’s regional parliament passed a new electoral law last Friday, authorising its leaders to hold a nonbinding “consultation” on independence for 9th November. The law collected 106 positive votes with 28 against.

Naturally, the move is opposed by Spain’s central government, which is determined to challenge the Catalan law in the nation’s Constitutional Court.

Rajoy has argued that the central government only has the power to call a referendum on sovereignty.

But, proud of their distinct Catalan language and culture, many of Catalonia’s 7.5 million inhabitants feel short-changed

by Madrid, which re-

distributes their taxes.

Supporters of independence for Catalonia were inspired by the Scottish referendum, but complained that whereas the British Government approved those polls, Madrid was denying Catalans a similar vote.

British PM David Cameron, despite opposing independence, has promised more powers over tax, spending and welfare to Scotland’s devolved government.

In the wake of the referendum result, he extended that offer to the rest of the UK, stance drawing envy among pro-independence Catalans.

“Scotland has voted and will achieve more autonomy, whereas we are not even being allowed to vote,” said Joan Rabasseda, the Mayor of Arenys de Munt, a staunchly pro-independence town north of Barcelona.

“I would have liked the “Yes” vote to win in Scotland in order to open up a debate at a European level. We will have to hope that debate opens up at least in Catalonia.”

Scotland’s resounding “No” vote was one

less headache for Rajoy as he resists the Mas campaign, while working to consolidate Spain’s recovery from recession.

Rajoy said in a recorded video message last Friday: “Scots have chosen between segregation and integration, between isolation and openness, between stability and uncertainty.”

Pedro Sanchez, leader of Spain’s main opposition Socialist Party, welcomed the Scottish result and reiterated his party’s call for a “reform of the constitution” to

respond to regional demands.

Many of Catalonia’s 7.5 million inhabitants, proud of their distinct Catalan language and culture, feel shortchanged by the national government in Madrid, which redistributes their taxes.

Catalonia formally adopted the status of a “nation” in 2006, but Spain’s Constitutional Court later over-ruled that claim.

At the height of Spain’s economic crisis in 2012, Rajoy rejected a demand from Mas

to give Catalonia more power to tax and spend.

“Madrid should understand that if the only way is to block the Catalan consultation using the legal frameworks, this is something that is not going to work,” said Mas in English.

“The only way to resolve this Catalan democratic challenge is to sit down at the table to talk about the referendum, to agree the terms of the referendum, to listen to each other and to make possible that Catalan people vote.”

Anti-abortion crowd point finger at the Government ANTI-ABORTION protesters turned out on their thousands in Madrid on Sunday, accusing the Spanish Government of betrayal.

What drew them to the streets was reports that the country’s lawmakers were reneging on a pledge to make abortion illegal except in certain cases.

Demonstrators of all ages bellowed, “Yes to life, no to abortion”, as they marched through the centre of Spain’s capital. And others yelled, “If they kill, don’t vote for them”.

Iciar Gereca said: “I

voted for them and they betrayed me,” as she marched with the crowds, who carried

balloons and banners emblazoned with the slogan, Right to Life.

The 41-year-old add-

ed: “Why are they holding back now? To win votes? It doesn’t make sense.”

Spain’s ruling conservative Popular Party proposed legislation in December which would make abortion illegal, except in cases of rape, or when the pregnancy threatens the health of the mother. But nine months on the law, which would be one of the toughest in Europe, has not yet been approved by parliament after facing stiff opposition in Spain as well as from abroad.

Respected Spanish daily El Mundo recently reported that the plan was unlikely ever to make it legislation because of divisions inside the Government.

And rumours that its author, Justice Minister Alberto Gallardon,

was set to resign have also been rife in Spanish media.

“It’s a complicated law, socially sensitive,” said Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria last Friday. “The Government wants to work to achieve the broadest possible consensus.”

Teenager Maria Arevalo, who attended Sunday’s march with two friends, said the Government has backtracked on its pledge because of fears it would be punished in municipal and regional elections next year.

“The municipal elections are not far away and the Government is afraid of losing popularity,” said the 17-year-old.

Mary’s 100 not out!

TENERIFE resident Mary Mansell celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday (Thursday) - and she’s still going strong

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Bad news still going down a a bomb in UK SO we are bombing Syria now?

I say we, but I mean the Americans, of course.

It’s the latest in the never-ending battle of the War on Terrorism.

It’s an all-encompassing phrase which allows the powers that be to do whatever they want. So why are “we” bombing Syria now when surely the time for action was 18 months ago, when civilians were being attacked by their own government?

I guess the answer lies in the public’s apparent “fear” over the I.S mob and their beheading of Westerners. “Must be seen to be doing something.” It’s populist politics.

If the media stopped mentioning the kidnappings and the beheadings, they would go away. It’s like ignoring a petulant child. By covering the kidnappings and the aftermath, they make them newsworthy events which simply

fans the flames for the terrorists. Do you think these events are news in Japan, Hungary or Mexico?

It’s the same “media question” with the missing Alice Gross. How many 14-year-old children go missing every day in the UK? Of course our heart goes out to her parents, and it’s clearly not the police’s finest hour. But does it demand national non-stop attention?

And also this week, the Ebola story is still in the news in the UK. Even though nobody in Britain has it.

So why all the stern faces and the rent-aquotes clogging up the rolling news services, telling everyone of impending doom?

Thank God we live in safe old Tenerife, where the biggest danger we have is whether we will slip and break a hip on some dog droppings left on the pavement.

With all the pointless fear being spread around the UK, I’m surprised anyone ever opens his/her front door!

Mary, born on 25th September 1914 in Birmingham, has three daughters, Jacquie, Marjorie and Christine.

She’s a colourful character, always “very good for her age”, who moved to Tenerife in 1994 at the sprightly age of 80.

She has received the traditional letter from The Queen for reaching a century, and Mary lives with with her daughter, Jacquie, and son-in-law Doug, at Paloma Beach Apartments.

Sadly, though, she is now bed-bound after breaking a leg last year,

but she has a fantastic team of carers, led by Dot. Canarian Weekly would like to wish Mary a very happy 100th birthday.

Challenge to make Adeje Gluten-free RAFAEL Dolado García, Adeje Health Councillor, and Dolores Prieto Martín, President of the Tenerife Provincial Celiac Association (ACET), have teamed up to help reduce a serious health issue.

They have signed a collaborative covenant to promote a series of activities designed to meet the needs of the borough’s celiacs - people suffering from a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food.

Those with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten - a protein in wheat, rye, and barley ans found mainly in foods. But it may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms.

When they eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying villi, the tiny, finger-like protrusions lining the small intestine.

Villi normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. But without healthy villi, people become malnourished, no matter how much food they eat.

Dolado García has underlined the importance of the agreement and believes it will see Adeje become part of the provincial “Glutenfree Santa Cruz de Tenerife” network.

He added: “This covenant opens the door to orientation, training and conscious awareness about those who suffer from gluten intolerance.

“We are a tourist destination that welcomes two million tourists a year, and a considerable section of that group will have some form of intolerance.

“So we can begin to adapt our gastronomy without a reduction in

taste or quality, to meet the needs of this sector, promoting health tourism and a healthy local lifestyle.

“It is something we consider relevant and important, particularly given that, since 2008, we have been a part of

the Spanish network of Healthy Cities, promoted by the World Health Organisation.”

Among the campaign’s objectives is to educate the public and professionals in the hostel sector about food intolerance and gluten-free diets and food preparation.

Included will be the Adeje Sin Gluten (Gluten-Free Adeje) project in bars, restaurants and businesses in the borough.

Municipal spaces will also be given over to the campaign to increase the message spread, such as education centres, and other zones where the public gather.

Representatives of ACET will run a workshop/conference in parallel, detailing the advances made in the diagnosis and treatment of the celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

Experts agreed, in principle, that “the many manifestations of this illness are not just

digestive, but also deal with a multi-system auto-immune disorder”.

Bearing that in mind that of the 7% of the European population affected by the celiac illness, just 1% are classified as celiacs, 6% are gluten intolerant, and 21% suffer from some form of indirect sensibility.

The ACET also reminds people that there are over 13,000 food items apt for people diagnosed as celiac.

There is also a food guide which is valid for infants and adolescents affected by the condition.

During the conference, talks will also be given about the need to train school canteen attendants and monitors about the celiac condition, as well as emphasising the importance of transmitting this information throughout the hotel sector and other relevant tourism bodies.

New tenner makes its debut A NEW 10-euro note, released on Tuesday, features a portrait of Europa - inspired by Greek mythology - in the hologram and watermark.

As in the first series of banknotes, the authenticity of the new note will be verified easily by touch and sight, through the method of three tests “feel, look and tilt,” according to the European Central Bank (ECB).

The notes will also feature a number printed in dark green, which changes to deep blue

when the banknote is tilted. And because of the new protective coating on the five and 10-euro notes in the Europa series, they are more resistant to wear.

Also, its security features have been enhanced, making them “even more resistant to counterfeiting”, says

the ECB. The original 10-euro notes will run alongside the new-style tenners, but they will eventually be phased out.

A group of tongue-incheek European artists have presented their vision for the currency, rethinking the way we view money.

German artist and musician Michael Erbach’s collage of old bills aims to stay away from the “same, neutral, postureless, valueless and deenergised bill.”

It certainly looks a lot more colourful than the official version, but traders won’t be taken in!

Farmers given a helping hand ADEJE Council has given local farmers a lift by repairing 15km of agricultural pathways throughout the

borough, including those in Taucho, La Concepción, Tijoco Alto and La Quinta.

The work was imple-

mented following local requests for aid in this important sector of the town, Councillor José Ma-

ría Álvarez Acosta said: “We are talking about the upgrading of a number of accesses and pathways in the upper reaches of the borough.

“The work in these zones will help access to farms which work primarily in the cultivation sector - fruits, vegetables, etc.”

He added: “We have also carried out work to contribute to the improvement of production in the local agricultural sector, with better access for trac-

tors, which will help at harvest time for instance.”

The work was financed by the Council,

to the tune of 10,000 euros, and was completed i over a fourmonth period n three phases.

Hungry Tigers hunt for more national glory ADEJE cheerleaders Tenerife Tigers have been training intensively for a national competition in Madrid that means so much to them.

And they will be hoping to collect another big haul of accolades tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday following their success in last year’s 2ª España Cheer and Dance international event, when they brought home 12 trophies in various categories.

Amanda Lambert, head coach and Vamos a Bailar dance school owner, said: “We are really excited about returning to Madrid, defending our existing titles and looking to take home some new ones as well.

“The girls have been working so hard that I hope we can win some trophies. But in all honesty, simply taking part is an honour and a great learning experience for the whole team.”

Tenerife Tigers are firm favourites in Adeje, always featuring in the borough’s parades and fiestas. They have represented Adeje and Tenerife at various national and international

competitions. And this year, their biggest contingent to date, with girls from five years to 18, are competing in up to 15 categories.

The 2º España Cheer and Dance event takes place in Madrid’s Casa de Campo trade centre as part of the International Arnold (Schwarzenegger) Classic Europe, and with the International Cheer Union organisation.

As well as encouraging the girls to compete and have fun, the event strives to expand these kind of sports in Spain.

Winning teams may also have the chance to compete at America’s Disney World, in Orlando, in the official World Championships.

“Tenerife Tigers are a great reflection of the cultural co-existence we value highly in Adeje,” said Sports Councillor Adolfo Alonso Ferrera, “Amanda and her coaching staff have worked hard to make the team very much a part of the huge array of sport we offer in Adeje.

“We wish them all the

best in Madrid, where we know they will make us proud. They take with them the best wishes of the Council and the public, who are always delighted to see the girls perform in the town.”

Tenerife Tigers were formed four years ago as part of the Let’s Dance/ Vamos a Bailar school in Callao Salvaje, and they now train in the Tijoco La Hoya Sports Pavilion as well.

Today, there are up to 60 girls in the various squads: minis, youths, junior and seniors.

The Tigers very much reflect the multi-cultural society in Adeje, with parents from all over the world, including Spain Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Italy, Russia and beyond.

“It’s a big international family,” says Amanda.

“The girls really look out for each other and encourage each other, from the youngest up.

“Taking on this trip to Madrid is not easy, so luckily we can count on the support of many parents of the girls who will travel with us.”

Golfer Chen is queen over here THE Spanish Ladies Open was a big success last weekend and large crowds enjoyed the golf at Costa Adeje.

England’s Trish Johnson shot a stunning first -round 65 to be the early leader, only to fall away over the weekend.

Charly Hull was always among the frontrunners before finishing fourth, while South African Connie Chen fired a superb final round of three-underpar 69 to earn her first Ladies European Tour victory.

The 21-year-old from Pretoria ended on 12-under and two strokes clear of home favourite Carlota Ciganda after four rounds, with Beth Allen of the US a stroke further behind in third place.

“I’m so happy,” said Chen. “I was so nervous teeing off, but being able to keep going and make that eagle on the back nine gave me a good feeling for the day.”

Her previous best finish in four years on tour was a tie for seventh in this year’s Sberbank Golf Masters, in the Czech Republic.

Having arrived at the venue a week early to practise on the greens, her preparation was meticulous and she and her father Hong, who acts as her caddie, decided to take a more relaxed approach.

“It’s nice that we

worked really well this week together,” said Chen. “It was a little different from our usual disagreements on the course. We just discussed that there are some things that work, with him being my father and us being so close, and some things that we need to get a little bit of distance in the

relationship and chill out. “With him being so close to me, he wants me to do so well, so he was able to let go of that and let me play my own game this week.”

The South African becomes the 12th firsttime winner of a Ladies European Tour event this season.

AN Ancient Greek tomb discovered A TEAM of Greek archaeologists have uncovered what officials believe is the largest burial site ever to be discovered in the country.

And, so excited are the already-exciteable Greeks that their drastic economic crisis has taken a back seat for the first time in years.

The discovery of the enormous tomb in northern Greece, dating to the time of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, has them asking: “Who is buried within?”

The mound is in ancient Amphipolis, a major city of the Macedonian kingdom, 100km (62 miles) east of Greece’s second city, Thessaloniki.

The structure dates back to the late 4th Century BC, and the wall surrounding it is 500m (1,600ft) in circumference, dwarfing the burial site of Alexander’s father, Philip II, in Vergina, west of Thessaloniki.

Greek Culture Minister Konstantinos Tasoulas told the BBC: “We are watching in awe, and with deep emotion, the excavation in Amphipolis.

“This is a burial monument of unique dimensions and impressive, artistic mastery. The most beautiful secrets

are hidden right underneath our feet.”

The western caryatid’s face is almost intact, whereas the eastern caryatid’s face is missing, while inside the tomb, archaeologists discovered two magnificent caryatids.

Each of the sculpted, female figures has one arm outstretched, presumably to discourage intruders from entering the tomb’s main chamber.

The caryatids were made of marble from the island of Thasos and new photos released on Sunday revealed their 2.27m (7ft) height.

The dig site is protected 24 hours a day by two police officers, whose job is to keep away the scores of journalists and tourists arriving there by a winding dirt road from the nearby village of Mesolakkia.

But from a distance,

it is clear that major work is taking place, although the excavation team have said nothing about the identity of the tomb’s occupant.

But this has not prevented the media, archaeologists and laypersons alike from becoming embroiled in an often-heated guessing game.

Archaeologists agree that the magnificence of the tomb means it was built for a prominent person - perhaps a member of Alexander’s immediate family: his mother, Olympias? His wife, Roxana? Maybe some noble Macedonian?

Others say it could be a cenotaph, but only the excavation team can give definitive answers, and progress has been slow since the workers discovered a third chamber, which is in danger of collapse.

A sketch of the tomb shows the two sphinxes at the front and the two caryatids guarding behind Experts have not reached a verdict, but for the few hundred inhabitants of modernday Amfipoli and Mesolakkia - the two villages closest to the burial site - there is no doubt.

Interred inside the marble-walled tomb, unearthed near their homes, is none other than Alexander the Great.

“Only Alexander merits such a monument,” says 61-year-old farmer Antonis Papadopoulos, as he enjoys his morning coffee with fellow villagers in a taverna opposite the Amfipoli archaeological museum.

“The magnitude and opulence of this tomb is unique. Common sense says he is the one buried inside.”

But that does not ring true with archaeologists and the Greek Ministry of Culture, who warn against such speculation, especially since Alexander the Great is known to have been buried in Egypt.

“We are naturally eager to learn the identity of the tomb’s resident, but this will be revealed in due course by the excavators,” says Tasoulas.

The discovery, made after two years of digging, was announced during a visit to the site last month by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who described it as “very important”.

Since then, Amfipoli and Mesolakkia have been teeming with people, who have disturbed the slow rhythms and tranquillity of life there..

Villagers at the cafe in Mesolakkia say they have been approached with offers to help sell their land,” says Athanasios Zournatzis, head of Mesolakkia’s community.

“Journalists and visitors suddenly started pouring in from all over Greece and abroad. We used to walk by the site every day, working the fields. We knew something was there, but we did not expect the magnitude of this discovery.”

The discovery has led to a wave of Greek pride and patriotism, and has definitely helped the na-

tion put its economic predicament to one side - temporarily at least.

Amfipoli resident Giorgos Bikos believes the news “has thrown Greeks a lifeline”.

Leading daily Kathimerini suggested people were, naturally, looking for good news amid a “constant barrage of doom and gloom”.

Culture Minister Tasoulas says it is a reminder that Greece is the “cradle of an unsurpassed civilisation and a country that deserves, with this unique, cultural capital and its present-day accomplishments, to claim its return to progress and prosperity”.

The residents of Amfipoli and Mesolakkia are hoping this feelgood factor will last long enough to make their villages tourist attractions and give them a much-needed economic boost. And Mr Zournatzis says the villagers are “hoping they have won the lottery”.

Most of those villagers who say they have been approached with offers to sell their land, could certainly use the money.

But they are holding off until archaeologists make an official announcement.

“Before the discovery, land here was worth close to nothing - but now, no one is selling,” says Mesolakkia resident Menia Kyriakou.

Student killed by white tiger A WHITE tiger at Delhi Zoo attacked and killed an Indian student, who jumped into his enclosure, say officials and witnesses.

But an eye-witness said the youngster was leaning over the barricade which was “very low” and may have fallen inside the enclosure.

The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination and police have begun an investigation into the incident.

“We are all in a complete state of shock,” said Amitabh Agnihotri, director of the National Zoological Park which manages the Delhi zoo.

“The tiger grabbed the youth and killed him,” he said. “I am not clear whether the youth jumped into the cage or he slipped accidentally.”

Another witness.

Himanshu, told CNNIBN news channel: “Around 1.30pm, we were in the reptiles’ area when we heard loud screams.

“I ran to the tiger enclosure, where we saw

that a white tiger had caught the student by his neck and he was writhing in pain. Some

children threw small sticks and stones at the tiger. He suffered for the next 10-15 minutes but

nobody helped him.”

Himanshu said the police “came very quickly” but could not save him.

Zoo manager Riaz Khan said the young man “leapt over the railing into the tiger enclosure”. Initial reports described him as a schoolboy.

Television pictures showed the frightened student crouching against a wall while the tiger stood near him.

White tigers are a rare variant of the customary orange Bengal subspecies, their colour coming from a recessive gene.

The distinctive animals, considered an endangered species, are from south and east Asia, particularly India.

Today, they are found exclusively in captivity programmes, where the limited numbers are inter-bred to maintain the distinctive fur colour.

A number of white tigers found in zoos have health issues, such as eyesight problems and some deformities.

The last-known, freeranging white tiger was shot in 1958, and before then, sporadic sightings of them in the wild were made in India.

Carnaval poster

controversy

SANTA Cruz Carnaval is always one of the highlights of the year in Tenerife, and each time it gets bigger and better.

And, of course, the organisers are under pressure to make the latest one the best yet.

During the year there are various events which act as a countdown - and the historic unveiling of the official poster is eagerly anticipated.

Over the years, there have been some memorable efforts - and next year’s will certainly be remembered. But perhaps for all the wrong reasons.

The artist behind this year’s poster has been having a rough time. Alexander Tosco (which translates to Rough!) is based on the head-dress of a queen.

But everyone else, it appears, sees a weather map. But it’s abstract - and all abstract art is controversial!

Tosco said: “I know I cannot please everyone.

I had 5-6 proposals and I’m happy with what we have.”

Fernando Ballesteros, Councillor for Fiestas, is backing Tosco all the

way, while Santa Cruz Mayor José Manuel Bermudez said: “The poster always generates controversy and, to some extent, that is good as people talk about the carnaval.”

Andy aced by Twitter rivals ANDY MURRAY, Britain’s first Wimbledon champion for more than 70 years, has no regrets about his support for Scottish independence.

But the proud Scot, who won the title in 2013, was disappointed with the abuse he received on Twitter after his tweet.

Just hours before the polls opened last Thursday, he wrote: “Huge day for Scotland today! no campaign negativity last few days totally swayed my view on it. excited to see the outcome. lets do this!”

Britain’s finest modern-day tennis star, who now lives in a multi-million-pound home in Oxshott, Surrey, said the UK would be stronger as a result of the referendum, and that he looked forward to competing for Great Britain for the rest of his career.

Murray also said everyone should be allowed

an opinion, and said in a BBC interview in China: “It was a very emotional day for Scottish people, and the whole country and the whole of the UK - it was a big day.”

Of his tweet, he said: “The way it was worded, the way I sent it, is not

really in my character. I don’t normally do stuff like that.

“So, yeah, I was a bit disappointed by that.

It’s time to move on. I can’t go back on that and I’ll concentrate on my tennis for the next few months.”

Murray was later subjected to online abuse, described as “vile” by the police. Some users sent him hate messages, one referring to the 1966 Dunblane massacre.

Murray was a pupil at Dunblane Primary school when gunman

Thomas Hamilton shot dead 16 children and their teacher.

In the BBC interview, Murray was asked what he had actually meant in his tweet. “I don’t want to go into too much detail about it,” he replied.

“It’s been obviously a

hard few days for me.

From my side, I just want to move on from it and hope everyone can.”

He added: “I think it was amazing how many people turned out to vote. I personally wasn’t able to vote. I trust the Scottish people made the right decision.”

Asked if he thought it would affect his mother Judy’s chances in the BBC’s Strictly Coming Dancing programme, Murray said: “I don’t think her chances were very high beforehand.

I’ve never really seen her dance before. But I hope she has a good time. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

“She’s told me she’s been having fun with all the training stuff. Hopefully, she can do well. I don’t think they’ll have it on the TV over here in China, so I won’t be able to watch.”

Meanwhile, Scottish comedian Billy Connolly said there would be “hell to pay” if Prime Minister David Cameron did not honour his pledge of extra powers for Scotland

Pope condemns violence of ‘perverted’ extremists POPE Francis made his feelings known about the sheer terror exercised by religious extremists around the world during his visit to Albania.

He told tens of thousands of Albanians at an open-air Mass cel-

ebrated by the Pontiff in the capital, Tirana, that the extremists were “perverting” religion to justify violence He praised the “peaceful coexistence” of religions in the country, where a Muslim majority live alongside Catholics and Orthodox Christians.

Security was tight for the visit amid rumours of a jihadist plot against him.

During a meeting with top Albanian government officials, Pope Francis hailed as a “precious gift” the mutual respect between Muslims and Christians in the country.

Pope Francis said he had wanted to visit the Balkan nation because it had “suffered very, very much”.

He added: “This is especially the case in these

times, where an authentic religious spirit is being perverted by extremist groups, and where religious differences are being distorted.

“Let no one consider themselves to be the ‘armour’ of God while planning and carrying out acts of violence and oppression!”

This was seen as an apparent reference to Islamic State militants, who have seized large swathes of Syria and Iraq, persecuting different religious groups there.

In a speech to the leaders of Albania’s religious communities, Pope Francis continued the theme, saying: “No one must use the name of God to commit violence.

“To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege.

To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.”

Security was stepped up for the visit, amid reports that extremists

might pose a threat.

But the Vatican played down fears of a plot against the Pope.

It was his first trip to a European country outside Italy since he took office in 2013.

Albania’s former Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha, banned religion in the country, which was virtually isolated from the rest of the world.

A number of Catholic

priests were executed, and some 2,000 churches and many mosques were either destroyed or turned into cinemas or dance-halls during Hoxha’s rule, which spanned more than 40 years until his 1985 death.

Some 60% of Albanians are Muslim, while Roman Catholics account for about 10%. The country also has an Orthodox Christian population of just below 10%.

Kiwis want to change their too-British’ flag SOME Kiwis believe New Zealand’s flag is too British and lacks distinctiveness, posing a new concern for the Union Jack’s future there.

The United Kingdom had no sooner beaten off the threat of the Scots abandoning the Union when New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, fresh from securing his third term an office, unveiled plans to redesign his nation’s flag radically.

He feels it is too similar to the Australian version, and it would mean the removal of the Union Jack from the top-left corner - to remind the world of its independence from the UK. Following his victory, he said on New Zealand TV: “I’d like that issue dealt with in 2015. New Zea-

Beeb ‘sorry’ for showing Savile

landers either need to decide Yes or No.” Key first proposed the referendum in March, and the possible flagchange has divided opinion. Some voters are eager to ditch the flag because they perceive it as an unwanted remnant of New Zealand’s colonial past. But the Returned and Services Association, which represents military veterans, says a change would dishonour

the memory of those who fought for their country.

A potential flag alternative would feature a silver fern, the national plant, on a black background, which would be comparable to the maple leaf adorned on the Canadian flag.

Critics insist that using this emblem, already favoured by major sporting teams, would make the flag resemble a banner seen atop pirate ships.

Key’s centre-right National Party secured 48% of the vote in Saturday’s election, giving it a clear majority in parliament.

Despite Key’s push for a flag that eliminates the Union Jack, the PM insists he wants to preserve and strengthen ties with the monarchy.

After all, The Queen remains the sovereign of New Zealand, which is still a member of the Commonwealth.

THE BBC has been forced to issue an apology for showing a 1971 edition of Top of the Pops, in which disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile featured briefly.

The footage, shown on 13th September on BBC Two, appeared to show Savile wagging a finger at a female audience member. “Unfortunately, this brief appearance was missed,” said the BBC after complaints from seven viewers.

“It was removed from iPlayer as soon as we were made aware and replaced with a re-edited version.”

The footage of Savile, who died in 2011, was seen around 11.15pm in

an edition of Top of the Pops 2.

It is now known that the Jim’ll Fix It host was a serial sex offender, abusing countless young people over six decades.

The BBC said in a statement that it had “reviewed references to Jimmy Savile across archive footage, including a number which were brought to our attention.

“Where the material is likely to cause offence to his victims it is removed. Although all programmes are reviewed before broadcast, unfortunately this brief appearance was missed.

“We apologise for any distress caused.”

Money Matters

By Mariano Zunino Siri

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

Horizontal Division - duties of owners

UNDER Spanish Law, apartments are regulated in the Civil Code and the Horizontal Division Act (immovables).

This Act, or Horizontal Property Act 49/1960 (modified many times, among them Act 51/2003 and Act 26/2001) is applicable to those units of a building with private ownership which share common areas with other units, such as community complexes.

“For the purposes of this Act, ‘unit’ means any part of a building that can be subject to independent use by reason of separate, independent entrances from either the public thoroughfare or a common element. And they must be built to include - but not be limited to - apartments and business or other premises.”.

The Act also includes an updated regulation of recorded minutes of meetings, duties of the

community’s governing bodies (particularly those of the administrator, whose position may be filled by any unit owner or by natural persons with adequate professional qualification), convening of meetings, exercise of voting rights, renunciation of the office of president and other daily matters encountered in community living, and which

were not sufficiently regulated.

Every unit has a percentage (quota) on the whole building. Individual unit owners can dispose of their estates freely, provided constituent elements are not separated, and it does not affect the obligations arising out of this.

Duties of owners Among other duties,

every owner must maintain his/her own unit and keep private installations in good repair, so that no harm is caused to the community or other unit owners.

Owners must also must consent to any repairs in their unit necessary for the service of the building, and make it easy for the work to be carried out, in accordance with the provisions

of the Horizontal Division Law. In particular, they must contribute, according to the assessment quota (percentage) stated in the Horizontal Division Deed, to the overall expenses for the appropriate building maintenance, plus services, charges and any responsibilities that cannot be allocated individually. Any person

acquiring a unit in Horizontal Property ownership, even when the title is entered in the Land Registry, is liable for the payment of any outstanding sums owed to the community by the previous owners.

This means paying fees up to the limit assessed when the transfer of ownership took place, and the three preceding calendar years.

Eurozone ‘facing deflation’ EUROZONE business growth eased through again for a second consecutive month, but it dropped to its slowest pace since December.

The latest Markit Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), had it falling to 52.3 from August’s 52.5.

But a reading above 50 at least indicates growth.

Modest growth in Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, provided a little cheer, but the eurozone was brought down by stagnation elsewhere, particularly in France, where PMI fell to 49.1.

Manufacturing across the eurozone fared worse than the service sector, with the PMI

reading falling to 50.5, which was the lowest measure since July 2013.

“The survey paints a picture of ongoing malaise in the eurozone economy,” said Chris Williamson, Markit’s chief economist.

“With growth of out-

put and demand slowing, employment again failed to show any meaningful increase.

Such torpor meant prices continued to fall as firms fought for customers, which will inevitably heighten concerns that the region is facing deflation.”

He added that the European Central Bank (ECB), faced with the task of warding off deflation, would be “disappointed” by the PMI numbers.

On Monday, ECB president Mario Draghi said the bank was ready to use “additional un-

conventional instruments” to help boost the flagging eurozone economy, “should it become necessary to further address risks of a too-prolonged period of low inflation”.

The Ukraine crisis and its knock-on effects could affect eurozone growth, says Markit.

Yet earlier this month, the European Central Bank introduced new measures to stimulate the area’s flagging economy.

In addition to launching an asset-purchase programme, through which it will buy debt products from banks, the ECB cut its benchmark interest rate to 0.05%.

Business growth in France slumped to a three-year low, with both the manufacturing and service sectors suffering.

“Anaemic demand

continues to hold back the private sector,” said Jack Kennedy, a senior economist at Markit, “with further price-cutting insufficient to prevent new orders falling”.

In Germany, service sector growth rebounded to a two-month high, but manufacturing growth recorded its slowest growth for 15 months.

Markit economists also raised concerns about the Ukraine crisis and related Russian sanctions, which, they warned, could have further adverse effects on business in Europe.

“The danger is that the ECB’s efforts to stimulate the economy will prove ineffective in the face of such headwinds, which are exacerbating already-weak demand,” said Mr Williamson.

The X Factor ITV1, 21.00

Tonight’s episode kicks off a special triple bill of Boot Camp this weekend on The X Factor, as the remaining contestants fight for a coveted place at Judges’ Houses.

The competition reaches a new level as the dramatic ‘six chair challenge returns’, promising some amazing performances alongside some agonising decisions for the judges, as they must each decide on the final six acts they will take through to their Judge’s House.

The stakes are high as each act performs individually and their judge then has to decide, there and then in front of the audience, if they want the act to take one of six seats on stage – each one representing a place at their Judge’s House.

However, even if they win a seat, the contestants face an anxious wait as no one is safe until the last person in each category has sung, with each judge able to change their mind at any point swapping an act already through with someone else who comes on and out-performs them.

Who will have what it takes to keep hold of their seat and be one step closer to a coveted place in the live shows?

John Sergeant visits some of the region’s best-loved and most atrisk buildings to find out how they can be saved. He goes to the Bawdsey Radar Station in Suffolk to see how it has fared ten years after it just missed out on winning a spot on the BBC’s Restoration programme, to see if the local community has managed to secure its future. In Great Yarmouth in Norfolk he uncovers the story of the Winter Gardens and the ingenious solution put forward to save it. Finally, he travels to Stevens Mill in Burwell Cambridgeshire, where traditional skills and enthusiasm have helped secure a future for an iconic landmark, and in Clophill, Bedfordshire, he learns how eco-tourism has given a new life to a ruined church.

End of Watch Channel 4, 21:15

David Ayer’s gritty police drama stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña as LA cops who are used to dealing with minor street misdemeanours but are inadvertently dragged in over their heads and become targets for a powerful drugs cartel.

Ayer ramps up the visual style by shooting the film using handcams; it looks and feels like a police documentary, and fans of The Shield will immediately feel at home with its fast-paced cuts and bumpy chase scenes.

World War II in Colour Channel 5, 19:35

Documentary telling the full story of World War II with the aid of rare and unseen archive footage, recently released official documents and modern techniques of colouring and satellite mapping. After the retreat from Dunkirk, Churchill rallied Britain in its darkest hour. Hitler was only just across the channel, but he reckoned without our supreme strategist, the might of the navy and the manoeuvrability of the air force. Crucially, Britain now had radar and the Enigma code had been broken. After the Battle of Britain, Churchill commenced the fight back.

When deadly predators attack humans, both sides lose out. As more people are killed or maimed, more animals are killed in retaliation. Mark Evans wants to help find ways to break this circle of violence. He tries out ingenious solutions to the most hostile wildlife conflicts on Earth. Mark travels to the shores of Canada’s Hudson Bay where polar bears are causing havoc in isolated communities.

He arrives in the town of Churchill hours after an attack has left two people with serious injuries and a bear dead. Mark joins the Polar Bear Alert Team as they transport a captured bear by helicopter to a release site outside of town. And in the Inuit town of Arviat, Mark works with wildlife officers to test an aerial drone early warning system, a military grade ultra-loud speaker to deter bears and a controversial experiment to place meat out on the tundra to divert bears away from town.

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

Now it’s an uplifting Yes to the Scottish housing trend SCOTLAND’S housing sector should experience a substantial lift following the country’s decision to remain part of the UK.

The property market there slowed to a crawl in the lead-up to last Thursday’s referendum as potential buyers put their plans on hold, according to the National Association of Estate Agents.

Brokers claimed some buyers were deflected from making offers north of the border, mainly because the potential of mortgages remaining in sterling in the result of a “Yes” win, would have left them at the mercy of future currency fluctuations.

Some brokers said buyers were even making offers conditional on a “No” vote, while there were also warnings that mortgage deals would have become harder to obtain had Scotland become independent.

However, the NAEA warns that the sudden release of pent-up activity back into the market from buyers, who had been holding out, could disrupt near-term prices.

Figures released by the Office for National Sta-

tistics earlier this week showed Scotland house prices had lifted to an all-time high, hitting £198,000 in July - 7.6% higher than 12 months ago.

The increase meant Scotland joined England in having typical

property values above their pre-financial crisis peaks.

Mark Hayward, NAEA Managing Director, said: “We can now expect to see some positive movement in the Scottish housing market. It’s good news for

Scottish estate agents and their customers, who can look forward to a less-frenetic market.

“Although the outcome does not necessarily guarantee clarity for the market, the mist of ambiguity will clear

much earlier than had the outcome to Scottish independence been Yes.” He added: “There is likely to be a substantial increase in market activity in the coming months, with an increase seen in the volume of sales and investments.

“This could disrupt house prices in the short-term, although not significantly. The existing concerns around increases in interest rates, and a significant hike in stamp duty, will have a bigger impact over the next 12 months.”

Last week’s monthly report from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors revealed a number of estate agents and surveyors said the referendum was having a knock-on effect to the Scottish market.

Ian Morton, of estate agents Bradburne & Co in St Andrews, said: “The lead-up to the independence referendum slowed the property market significantly as uncertainty reduced confidence.”

Thomas Baird, of Select Surveyors Ltd, based in Glasgow and Edinburgh, said: “Instructions for home reports were slower in August, perhaps because of the impending referendum, and there ap-

it will fuel fears among some multi-national companies.

Those looking to set up home in London could be deterred by the rising costs of relocation and properties, driven by the strong pound.

Falling residential rates and a weakening currency in Hong Kong steadied property prices. But London real-estate costs grew by 10.6% in the first six months of 2014, accord-

ing to new research by property group Savills.

This makes London the most expensive world city in which to accommodate staff, at £73,800 per employee annually.

The index measures the total costs per employee of renting, living and working in 12 world cities. It takes into account office costs, taxes and fluctuating exchange rates.

Despite London’s ascent, from 5th to 1st

place since 2008, it is still shy of the accommodation-costs record, set by Hong Kong in 2011 at £78,100 a year New York and Paris are among the four leading cities, where the combined costs of renting residential and office space top £60,955 per employee per year.

Savills’ director Yolande Barnes says: “London is not substantially ahead of its nearest rival, Paris.

Therefore, this is a

symptom of success rather than a problem for London’s competitiveness.

“The lower level of price growth this year means that currency fluctuations have produced some of the biggest changes in our rankings.

“For multi-nationals looking at their local costs, this is likely to exercise them more than property markets over the next year.”

She added that for in-

pears to be a lack of new stock coming on to the market.”

A report from Zoopla earlier in the week suggested property prices could have fallen by £31,000 north of the border in the event of a Yes vote.

The property website said a vote for independence would have ushered in a period of uncertainty over Scotland’s future currency and tax rates, which migjt have reduced market confidence and made it harder to get a mortgage.

Ran Morgan, head of international estate agents Knight Frank’s Scotland operation, said: “The certainty provided by a No vote will allow the property market to return to more normal trading conditions.

“We expect we will be very busy in the coming months as vendors and buyers, many who put off making a decision to buy or sell a property because of the referendum, return to the market. This will lead to an increase in transactions at all levels.

“We believe the outlook for the prime property market in Scotland is positive. Our forecast is that prime values will rise 3% by the end of this year and by a further 3-6% in 2015.”

London relocation costs so tough for companies LONDON is now the world’s most expensive city for companies to locate employees, as prices soar through the roof in the capital.

It has even overtake previous leader, Hong Kong, which had topped the rankings for five years. But the surge brings about its own problems because

vestors into London, the increase in rental yields showed the sustainability of house prices.

However, the average house price in London has now hit £500,000, stretching the city’s affordability for workers.

On Monday, the sale of 18 super-prime apartments by British Land broke the record for the most expensive flats ever sold in Mayfair, at an average of £11.6m each - £210m collectively.

24 Hours in Police Custody Channel 4, 21:00

This first episode of this brand new landmark documentary series from the makers of 24 Hours in A&E opens with the dawn arrest of a man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

Bedfordshire Police allowed more than 80 cameras to follow the work of their officers in unprecedented detail from the cells at Luton Police Station to the operational heart of major crime investigation and the police interrogation rooms. This extraordinary film documents the work of the lead detectives as they investigate and interview the suspect about his involvement in a plot to shoot a man. While driving to work, the victim was hit from behind by another vehicle.

When he stepped out to inspect the damage he was shot in his leg by a close range sawn-off shotgun, sustaining lifethreatening injuries.

The police believe the case arises from a potential love triangle that has spiralled out of control.

Detectives have 24 hours to gather enough evidence to charge or release him.

My £999 Wedding BBC1, 22:35

The average British couple now spend around £18,000 getting married, and there has never been a more dizzying array of choices to be made in pursuit of the perfect day. But for many, a lavish wedding is not an option. Some enterprising hotels and venues have come up with a solution - offering all-in wedding packages for a thousand pounds - or less. Mark and Emily have both been married before with kids. With an ill baby and Mark struggling to start a business, every penny is at a premium. Sonia and Jackie want the perfect romantic wedding. Although Sonia works long shifts as a bus driver, money is tight, and Jackie’s poor health casts a long shadow over their big day. Lee and Fiona split up as teenagers and are marrying more than twenty years later. The film follows the stories of these three couples getting married on budgets that are a fraction of the national average, and meets the wedding planners working hard to make their days as perfect as possible for the money.

W C choice £100k House: Tricks of the Trade BBC2, 20:00

Kieran Long and Piers Taylor come to the aid of homeowners as they take on ambitious building projects. Mikyla lived as a single mum of two in her Victorian terrace house but now that her fiancé has moved in they are bursting at the seams. It is up to Kieran and Piers to inspire them and help decide how and where to spend their budget. The ideal solution is an extension - but with only £11K to spend, will they be able to make every penny count and create something extraordinary? Charity worker Rita has managed to scrape together £3K but that is all she has for an entire new kitchen.

Full of design ambitions, Rita wants something amazing but she cannot see a way to achieve her dream kitchen on her small budget.

Piers’s biggest challenge turns out to be steering Rita away from the obvious temptation of the high street and towards an ambitious bespoke design. Will she be able to take a design leap of faith in a radical new direction?

Scott & Bailey ITV1, 20.00 At a Police Initiative launch, Gill introduces her new sergeant to Det Sup Will Pemberton, an ambitious man on his way to ACPO rank. But it soon becomes clear that Rachel didn’t need the introduction - she and Will have been enjoying a passionate and discreet relationship for the last few months. And whilst Will would like to shout it from the rooftops, Rachel would prefer to keep it secret, concerned that rumors might fly about her motives. When Gill lets slip that Janet was first choice for the sergeant’s job, Rachel’s old defensiveness rears its ugly head.

Having been blown away by Eleanor Goodhead and the happy home life she has created with Ade, Janet is inspired to keep going with the dating game. But a speed dating evening proves unfulfilling when she realizes she’s unable to take off her police goggles, interviewing every man as if they’re a suspect. Unaware that Gill has spilt the beans, Janet is baffled as to why Rachel is suddenly pulling rank.

The story of the week involves the murder of a woman in a hotel room in Manchester. With only a necklace and the name ‘Lola’ to go on, Syndicate 9 tries to piece together the woman’s last known movements. When a witness comes forward to report a sexual encounter that left her feeling uneasy, it seems that a hook-up site could hold the answers.

The Great British Bake Off BBC1, 20:00

Baking challenge presented by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, with judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

It is semi-final time and the tension is palpable as the bakers begin Patisserie Week.

The semi-finalists are challenged to make signature baklava - two different types of any flavour they like, but with the crisp flaky layers of perfectly pulled filo pastry. Next up is the penultimate technical challenge of the series, which sees the bakers make layers of a different kind. The German schichttorte is a cake cooked in stages under the grill to create 20 layers of different-coloured sponge. It is based upon the German baumkuchen which is baked on a rotisserie and is one of the trickiest German cakes.

The showstopper challenge raises the bar even higher.

The final four bakers must bake nonstop to create two elegant entremets.

They are asked to show as many skills and techniques as they can possibly pack in - this is their last chance to fight for their place in the final.

Peaky Blinders BBC2, 21.00 Birmingham crime boss Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy, Inception) heads into perilous territory in the second series of Steven Knight’s acclaimed gangster epic.

As the 1920s begin to roar, business is booming for the Peaky Blinders gang. Shelby starts to expand his legal and illegal operations. He has his sights set firmly on wider horizons, and the race tracks of the South are calling out for new management.

Shelby’s meteoric rise brings him into contact with both the upper echelons of society and astonishing new adversaries from London’s criminal enterprises. All will test him to the core, though in very different ways.

Meanwhile, Shelby’s home turf of Birmingham is beset by new challenges as members of his family react to the upturn in their fortunes, and an enemy from his past returns to the city with plans for a revenge of biblical proportions.

Featuring a spectacular cast that includes Helen McCrory (Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince), Noah Taylor (Game Of Thrones) and Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises), Peaky Blinders, series 2 is an enthralling tale of ambition, corruption, violence, desire, and above all an extraordinary family living through extraordinary times.

Blenheim Palace: Great War House Your Home In Their Hands BBC1, 20.00

Celia Sawyer oversees proceedings as two more homeowners hand over their keys to four ambitious amateur designers for a five-day home makeover.

Tonight, the Marshalls lack any design flair and most recently decorated their bedroom in the style of a Premier Inn hotel. While the Baileys have lived in the same home for nearly 30 years but it has never been completely finished.

Fireworks fly in this episode as the outlandish style of one designer pushes the idea of ‘bringing the outside in’ to a whole new level.

Elsewhere, the amateur designers create a vintage inspired living room and a ‘hotel bling’ bedroom, and it’s left to Celia to show the homeowners their brand-new rooms.

ITV1, 21:00 Blenheim Palace is one of the grandest of all Britain’s great houses. Intended originally for John Churchill first Duke of Marlborough as a tribute from a grateful nation for his victories during the War of the Spanish Succession, it was completed between 1705 and 1722 and designed by Sir John Vanbrugh. For centuries it was a miniature kingdom, but the First World War ripped apart the lives of everyone at Blenheim, the family and those that relied upon them for employment. In this documentary, Julian Fellowes, the author and creator of Downton Abbey, tells the stories of the real men and women of the estate whose lives were changed forever by the Great War. Below stairs he discovers tales of heroism and tragedy, and above stairs the accounts of those who seized their chance to change the course of history. Finally he examines how the First World War was the making of Blenheim’s most famous son, Winston Churchill, born here in 1874.

Jungle Atlantis BBC2, 20:00

Buried in the Cambodian jungle lie the lost remains of the great medieval city of Angkor, once the capital of one of the world’s greatest civilisations. Today, only the great stone temples like Angkor Wat survive. But Angkor was once a teeming metropolis, full of life - the biggest city on Earth.

Now, a team of archaeologists are using a revolutionary technology called LiDAR to reveal the true scale and splendour of this abandoned megacity.

Deep in the jungle, they have discovered a sophisticated network of roads and canals - the forgotten world of Angkor’s greatest ever king, Jayavarman VII, a leader still revered in Cambodia centuries later. This new laser technology has completely transformed archaeology in Angkor. By unlocking the secrets of how this vast city flourished, the team are shedding new light on the dramatic events leading to its fall. Their groundbreaking new work explains why the world’s greatest medieval metropolis was abandoned to the jungle.

Entertainment

By Jamie Droo TRIBUTE artistes have always played a huge role in the grand scale of things here in Tenerife.

This small Island has always been saturated with venues which put on shows and entertainment. Consequently, there has always been plenty of work for the talented entertainer.

Audiences love to see a tribute artist, either because they are simply curious or they’re lifelong fans of the particular singer being celebrated.

Tribute artistes always have more crowdpulling power, but the pressure weighs heavier and the likelihood of criticism runs high.

For instance; although Shania Twain has had a ton of hits, she seems to be a singer who doesn’t win when it comes to this category of entertainer.

What is it that makes a singer worthy of a tribute? The answer has many dynamics.

But in the main, it comes down to the personality and passion of the person performing at the time.

There are four nominees in the category of Best Tribute at this year’s TEAs, and all of them salute credible artistes.

Firstly, The Rock DJ Show has been entertaining the masses here in Tenerife for almost three years. Brad has succeeded in becoming a popular act, mixing the songs of Robbie Williams with audience participation.

His is a truly energetic act ,and the pace is kept up all the way through his show. Brad is also a keen fund-raiser and regularly gets involved in activities which require a high level of fitness.

Last October, he completed the Barcelona triathlon to raise much-needed funds for the Aaron Tyler Bannister Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy fund.

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

Tribute to our own copycats

You will normally find Brad riding the waves on his surfboard when he’s not fund-raising, or on stage as Robbie Williams.

Having already questioned what it is that makes an act worthy of a tribute, I find it quite ironic that two artistes in this category are originally from the same boy band and who now have independent solo careers.

Tony Kay has been nominated this year for his Gary Barlow Show.

I have seen it many times and I am so impressed with the accuracy of the voice, even down to the “absolutely fantastic” links between songs.

Tony is a natural on stage and seems to possess the X factor when it comes to engaging the audience. His opening song, Greatest Day, really sets in stone the talent Tony has for impersonating the voice of Gary Barlow.

His tracks are all custom-made, his attire always impeccable and

quality is always there in abundance. All the artistes in this category regularly support local charity events, but Tony always seems to go the extra mile on stage and, more or less, does his full show when the only expectation was for a few songs.

The guy just loves being on stage.

Next up in this category is the glamorous Jacqui Peters, whose tribute to Dame Shirley has returned to these shores after a brief sabbatical and taking the DSB show on the road.

This took Jacqui to the US with her show, and she worked alongside some fabulous people and musicians.

The pull of Tenerife was too much, though and, like many before her, it wasn’t long before the move back became a reality.

Once Jacqui started to let people know she was coming back, her diary began to fill up with regular gigs before she had even started

packing. This should tell you how popular she was before leaving.

To hit the ground running on a circuit like

this is testament to a good act. Last year, Jacqui opened the James Bond-themed show at the castle, and

this year she is up for the Best Tribute gong.

Keith George and his tribute to Boy George is back in this category again for 2014.

This artiste ticks all the boxes for a holiday entertainer and tribute act. Every detail has been polished. The voice is, almost flawlessly, the same as Boy George’s. The stage clothing is individually styled by Keith, yet in keeping with what Boy George would wear.

In fact, the whole package displays both vocal talent along with his personality and ability to entertain.

Last year this category was the live vote and Keith gave an outstanding performance.

Keith also works as himself, singing songs of all genres. He is based here in Tenerife but travels regularly around the world and to and from the UK while treading the international boards.

Like many others, this is a tough category and too tough to make a call on a winner. But good luck to one and all.

TEAs Nominees party

‘This was more than a wee bit of a la-di-da affair’

Curtain-raiser for TEAs

THE Tenerife Entertainment Awards ceremony always pushes the boundaries and this year, organisers unveiled something a little different.

It is common with most awards to have a nominees’ event - and this year, the TEAs had one as well.

The amazing Magic Live Lounge hosted and, for once, we thought it would be a nice change to let a participant explain the afternoon.

Andy Briggs is one half of Soundwave, who have been nominated for Best Newcomer. And, as you read on, you can tell he really enjoyed the day!

“The aim of any entertainer is, of course, to entertain, to create joy, laughter, intrigue and, at times, perhaps even tears,” he said.

“It is praise and thanks enough that people enjoy what we do. Applause, a simple handshake at the end of the night and a thank-you - these things alone would be more than enough.

“But when these people take time out of their private diary to nominate you for awards, it is a humbling experience.

The awards of which I speak are the Tenerife Entertainment Awards.

“They are the calendar event of the year for anyone who works the stage on the Island … musicians, singers, magicians, hypnotists, and comedians, all coming together to celebrate and acknowledge each other’s achievements. It is truly a privilege to be part of them.

“Sunday, 21st Sept saw The Nominees’ Gala for the TEAs take place.

Held at the prestigious Magic Lounge Club

(sponsors of these fantastic awards), it was a who´s-who of the circuit get-together.

Big names like Helena Campbell (a defending champion), Shane

Haigh-Sousa (Mister Sister), Michael Leavy Jnr, Stephen Tyler, Billy Blanco, Lisa Bridge and many more, coming together to enjoy an afternoon of live music and

congratulations (with, no doubt, a hidden hint of competitiveness).

“It was a fantastic opportunity for the performers to see one another’s shows, which, because of conflicting gigs, is a rare possibility.

“Now, you won´t often find me in anything other than flip-flops before 21 hours. However, this was more than a wee bit of a la-di-da affair and people were dressed to the nines, which is only appropriate when celebrating such an occasion.

“The fabulous hosts (Magic Lounge Club) put on a great afternoon and for me, personally, it was extremely nice to put some faces to the names I hear so often.

“The level of talent at these awards is exceptional, and I encourage any music fans to book your tickets and table now for the actual award ceremony by contacting Oasis Fm. “Best Female and Best Group categories will be contested on the day, which for those involved will be nerve-racking and, no doubt, hard work with them all being so supremely talented.

“However, for the rest of

us, it means two hours or more of the crème de la crème of entertainment here in Tenerife, performing live on the day.”

Andy, now in full swing, added: “Before I leave you with my parting words, I must point out how refreshing it was to perform and then drink and enjoy myself in such a well-run establishment as Magic Lounge Club. “I would suggest if you like live music in a venue that offers ‘Glam’ alongside quality, get down there any night of the week!

“Good luck to all who are nominated for awards this year. Thank you, of course, to Oasis Fm for hosting such a glorious afternoon live on air - and well done to Roscoe for staying sober!

I did not manage to do the same!

“The voting closes on Sunday (5th Oct), so if you want to support your favourite acts, visit www.teaawards.com and fill in the online voting form, or text the name and category of the acts to 0034 639 101 311.

“The Tenerife Entertainments Awards ... it´s the entertainment event of the year. See you there!”

Health & Beauty

By Val Sainsbury ROASTED peanuts are more likely to trigger an allergic reaction than raw peanuts, according to an Oxford University study.

Scientists say chemical changes caused by dry roasting processes may prime the body’s immune system - sparking future allergic reactions.

But mice were the subject of their research published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology - and they admit that much more work is needed before humans should opt for the raw variety.

The mice were exposed to peanut proteins

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

Raw peanuts could be safer for you...

through the skin or the stomach. And those given the dry-roasted samples had a much stronger immune response - the body’s way of fighting things that appear foreign to it - than mice given the raw versions.

In humans, immune responses vary. Some can be mild, causing rashes for example, but others can be extremely dangerous, leading to swelling of the mouth and breathing difficulties.

Scientists say it is likely to be the high temperatures used to roast nuts that are responsible for the chemical changes which, in turn, prompt the allergic reactions.

Prof Quentin Sattentau, who led the research, said: “This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a potential trigger for peanut allergy has been directly shown.”

And researchers believe

the findings may explain the lower allergy rates in East Asian populations, where boiled, raw or fried nuts are a more common part of the diet

than roasted ones.

But they warn that much more work is needed before doctors make any specific dietary recommendations.

Prof Sattentau added “We know that children in families with other allergies are more likely to develop peanut allergy.

“However, our research

is at an early stage and we think that it would be premature to avoid roasted peanuts and their products until further work has been carried out to confirm this result.”

Scientists are now exploring methods to get rid of the particular chemical changes that may be responsible for kick-starting the immune system.

According to NHS Choices, nut allergies, including peanuts, are relatively common in both school-aged children and adults.

Peanuts are one of the most common causes of fatal allergic reactions to food, and those people with peanut allergies are advised to avoid them.

Many carry auto-injector pens to reduce the severity of any reactions that do occur.

What a huge bonus this would be for all women THE menopause could be eliminated within 20 years - and the process of ageing could be halted or even reversed!

Pioneering stem-cell scientist Aubrey de Grey believes that rapid progress in stem-cell and regenerative therapies mean that current age limits on when women can conceive and give birth were likely to vanish.

He said there was no reason why anti-ageing treatments should not extend to the female re-

productive life-span because the ovaries were “just another organ”.

Dr de Grey, estimating the timescale for when the menopause may be eliminated, told The Times: “We can definitely think in terms of 20 years from now.

“We could rejuvenate the ovary by stimulating or replenishing stem cells. We could create a whole new ovary through tissue engineering like an artificial heart - there are all manner of possibilities.”

The theoretician in the field of gerontology, is co-founder of the Sens Research Foundation,

which funds research aimed at developing treatments on reversing ageing.

While regarded by some as a maverick, his research has attracted significant financial backing, including some from Facebook investor Peter Thiel.

Fertility experts agreed that significant progress had been made towards overcoming some forms of female infertility which were, previously, completely untreatable.

Evelyn Telfer, a reproductive biologist at the University of Edinburgh, told The Times that treatments were

on the horizon for early menopause.

She said: “The dogma has been that a woman has a fixed number of eggs, that they’re formed before birth and there’s no more once they run out.”

But work by Professor Telfer’s group also suggests that primordial follicles - immature female egg cells - taken from the ovaries so young girls undergoing cancer treatments can be successfully matured in culture outside of their body, raising the prospect of their fertility being preserved.

There is emerging evi-

dence that the ovary retains an untapped reservoir of immature follicles beyond the menopause which could, potentially, be exploited in the future to extend the limits of female fertility.

There is even some evidence that the ovaries contain even more primitive egg stemcells, raising the possibility of a limitless supply of eggs. But this finding remains controversial and contested within the field.

Prof Telfer added: “It depends what you mean by eliminate the menopause. It would be naive of anyone to think that

you might get these cells, just put them in an ovary and expect them to grow.”

He cautioned: “There’s a long way to go and you hesitate to say things that could create false hope.”

Dr de Grey has previously claimed that there is no reason why humans should not live to be 1,000 years old.

Ahead of his talk at the ReWork technology summit in London this week, Dr de Grey conceded that there was scepticism about his ideas. But he remains confident that science will overcome ageing eventually.

Hair & Fashion

26th September 2014 -2nd October 2014

Hair... it is your jewel

Holdalls carry it off in style when men go for bags!

By Ruth Benson

By Carl from Robot

I SELDOM write about male fashion, but one upand-coming trend for men is actually one to which most of us women can relate - and that is bags!

DO you put on the same clothes every day? Do you always wear the same shoes night and day? Is your make-up routine always the same look?

Us women can have as many bags as possible, to match shoes, outfits ... or just because it’s a bag. But “man bags” are a whole different concept.

Firstly, men tend to have just one type of bag. But for this winter, there is a selection of bags from which they can choose.

For starters, there’s the bum bag, and most of us envisage tourists using them, or we go back to the early Nineties, when everyone had one.

American Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, spotted wearing a bum bag, said happily: “I’m not afraid of the fanny pack” - the American name for a bum bag ,in case you happened to be confused.

Kanye West was also seen to be embracing the ‘fanny pack’, although his was a Louis Vuitton. And the best way to wear it is not on the bum, as the name implies, but on the hips, as demonstrated by Matthew and Kanye.

Secondly, we have the backpack. Now this is a more common choice for men - and not just for camping or a sports bag. Backpacks originated for hunting trips.

They were made from animal hides and sewn together with intestines!

But in this day and age you have a lot more choice.

Backpacks should never be worn over both shoulders unless you are wearing lederhosen and are planning a spot of yodelling in the mountains.

The next choice of bag is the briefcase, normally associated with men in suits. In films, they tend to contain lots of money to do deals with.

But in reality, they usually carry office workers’ paperwork and sandwiches.

Our penultimate bag is the satchel. And when I think of one, I see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. The satchel first became popular in Roman times and they have developed over the years to be a strong bag, worn across the body just in case you have to make a daring escape, or rescue a damsel in distress.

Lastly we have the holdall, which to many may be seen as a carryon bag for the plane, or most commonly for carrying sports gear. This seems to be the musthave for the autumn/ winter.

Men’s bags tend to be

black or brown … nothing too imaginative, but the holdall allows you to experiment. And Pharrell Williams, for one, is not sticking to dull colours - he has been seen with a purple crocodile version.

If this still hasn’t convinced you to purchase a bag, market research firm NPD Group has seen a 3% sales’ increase of men’s bags from 2012 to 2013. Okay, that may not seem a lot, but, in monetary terms it accounted for a $957 million (£584m) industry.

So whatever your choice of bag, make sure you get the right one to suit you.

No longer will you have to stuff your keys, wallet and phone in your pockets!

43 CW

No? But you wear the same hair every day so why shouldn’t it look its best?

A woman in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt can look glamorous as long as what tops her look off is a well-cut and/or coloured hairstyle.

Your hair is a jewel you wear 24 hours a day.

And you can’t take it off if you decide it doesn’t look good. It has to be well cut and coloured to make a statement, not only about you but about who you are.

Your stylist should be so honest as to be a lit-

tle blunt with you. There are no gold stars for dishonesty in my book.

You should be able to trust your stylist with any question about your hair, knowing you will receive an honest answer.

I can’t recall a single time in the salon that I’ve sent out a client knowing I gave her the answer she wanted rather than the truth.

Your hair is your fashion statement, and I’ve seen people so many times who are down about their look because they haven’t received the right sort of advice.

Hair isn’t something I like to see neglected, and 45 minutes in the salon can take you from drab to fab. And it’s not rocket science.

I was always told during my training years that it’s not about the hair that is removed, but what’s left behind that matters.

Your colours should complement your style

and not overkill it. Colour placement is vital to the whole concept of your style.

Don’t get carried away with a bold new colour if you haven’t got the right cut to go with it.

There are just three rules to having goodlooking hair: a professional cut, the right colour and condition.

Without these three, you have no base to your hairstyle. When I hear that some people simply don’t have the time, or can’t be bothered with their hair, it makes me sad.

Shaking a dryer over a good cut takes minutes, and you’ll look stunning all day. So why do some ignore what is crowning their heads?

We don’t have a magic wand in the salon, and sometimes we can’t perform miracles. But trusting your stylist and letting him/her create your ultimate “look” can turn more heads than any outfit, or new piece of jewellery.

I love turning around someone’s hair - seeing them unhappy about what has been done previously and giving them a totally new image.

It’s all about seeing the client as she could be and not as she is. That’s how you should feel about your hair - that you don’t have to put up with plain or ordinary.

You, too, can be fabulous and have hair that turns heads. I’ve yet to see a head of hair that’s not transformable.

Just let your stylists be honest with you, and give them a chance to turn your hair into a little gem.

A Senior View & Community News

By Monica Dyson DO you remember some of the wonderful sayings that were around when we were growing up?

It would be good if they’d been passed down through the generations, but I’m not sure that they have been.

One of my favourite comedians, Peter Kay, seems to base much of his material on the things his mum said when he was a child.

And I must admit that, when I start to think, many of the “funnies” I remember came either from my mother or her friends and neighbours.

Some of the sayings were as priceless as they were illogical. “That’ll put hairs on your chest!” That seemed to refer to something like bread and dripping, which, reputedly, also “lined your chest” against the rigours of cold weather.

But did we really want hairs on our chest?

Many of the expressions gave medical advice. If you sat on a cold wall you’d get piles; go out with your hair wet, you’d catch cold.

Walking about with no socks on invited chilblains, and a hot drink warmed the cockles of your heart. Did you know your heart had cockles?

If we didn’t wash our ears, potatoes would grow in them, eating crusts on our bread would give us curly hair - I’m still waiting for that. And always wear clean knickers in case you get knocked down by a bus!

In fact, on meeting any of my mother’s friends who had been ill, they were quite likely to say:

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

She’s int pudding club... and her mother’s having kittens!

“I’ve been under’t doctor!” That in itself was interesting!

For some reason, you rarely ever got a straight answer to a perfectly serious question. I believe adults in those days were very much of the childrenshould-be - seen-andnot-heard generation.

Asking where my father was could invoke: “He’s gone to see a man about a dog,” which could be heartbreaking for any child desperate to have a pet!

If we asked mother how old she was, she’d say: “As old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth!”

Ask a silly question!

A friend of mine if asking her mother what was for tea would get the reply: “A run round the table and a kick at the cellar door!”

My mother had a next-door neighbour who kept us entertained for hours with her sayings in wonderful Yorkshire regional dialect.

To her children: “Does tha want a crack, cos tha’l get one in a minute?”

“Gee up roaring or I’ll give thi summat to roar about!”

“If you don’t behave, I’ll give you what Mary got!” No one ever knew who Mary was!

“Don’t come running to me after tha breaks tha leg on that thing!”

I once heard her say to my mother: “She’s int pudding club and her mother’s having kittens!” That certainly confused me!

And about a neighbour: “I thought he were as thick as two short planks, but he’s not as green as he’s cabbage looking!”

“Is she on this earth or Fullers?”

“Can you smell summat, or is it me?”

“I’ll go to our house,” or “I’ll go to foot of our

stairs” when expressing disbelief in something!

“She’s as wide as the railway arches, that one!”

“If he fell off a tailor’s building he’d fall into a new suit!”

I once heard her say, again about a neighbour: “Eh! She were chuffing rhubarb. I’ve been less bored at t’ dentist!”

Some expressions can be traced back in history. It seems that during World War I, guns were supported on two short planks of wood to stop them sinking.

And to this day, members of the British Roy-

al Artillery are called “planks”, which dates back to a time when it was thought that gunners did not have a very high intelligence level!

The expression “It’s all my eye and Betty Martin”, used to express disbelief in something, appears to date back to 18th Century nautical slang.

One of the most common expressions of our parents generation was ‘To have a bone in your leg”, when you were asked to do something.

The expression appears in The Awakening of Helena Richie,

by Margaret Deland in 1906, when Dr Laven-

der says: “David, I’ve got a bone in my leg, so can you run and get me a clean handkerchief?” The expression can still be heard, even today.

People’s names frequently appeared in our parents sayings. “That’s a bit Harry Tate” when things went wrong, the said Harry being a music-hall star who always made a mess of things.

“It’s looking a bit black over Bill’s mother’s!”

Old adages still feature in our vocabulary.

Don’t cast a cloud till May is out.

Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight.

Feed a cold and starve a fever.

If your ears burn, someone must be talking about you. People still say that. It dates back to the soothsayers of Ancient Rome and also to the ancient belief that if your right ear burns, you are being praised. But if it’s the left one, someone has evil intent against you!

It does seem a shame doesn’t it, that old expressions have, for the most part, died out with our parents’ generation.

But really, most of them were as illogical as they were funny.

Accion del Sol news

Go walkies and raise funds PLEASE take part in our next fund-raising event next Sunday (5th October), from 10am at the Granadillabased Accion refuge.

We would love you to walk one of our homeless dogs from the sanctuary down to the sea - or you are welcome to bring your own pet.

Then, after a cold drink, enjoy a gentle stroll back to the refuge, followed by a buffet lunch and music to entertain you.

The cost is just 10 eu-

ros per person, including a T-shirt, and we need your registration prior to the event. So please email teneriffa@ aktiontier.org - or call 922 778 630 for more details.

Help always wanted Please call the same number if you would like to help the refuge

out in any way. Towels and blankets are needed for the dogs if you have any to spare. And dog-walkers are always welcome.

We are situated on the Granadilla Industrial Estate, Exit 51 on the TF1, right next to ITER, the ecological park where the wind-

mills are.

Accion opening hours The refuge is open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 2pm-5pm, and on Saturdays from 1qpm-4pm.

We are closed on Wednesdays, Sundays and on Public holidays.

Family Church is jewel of the South TENERIFE Family Church has a heart for the South of the Island and works tirelessly for the community.

Whether it be helping people who are hungry homeless or suffering addictions, or those just in need of an ear to listen to them, the message from members is simple: “We are here.”

They support the ‘SHE’ ministry, which helps women suffering abuse, depression and loneliness. When these unfortunate people feel despair, church members are just a phone call away, to help with every situation.

They visit the sick in hospital, most of who are tourists, offering them a chat to help with their unexpected experience.

The Church also sup-

ports The Living Room, a drop-in centre for workers in the Veronicas area of Las Americas. Many young people who come to Tenerife to work find it a different place than they thought, with many temptations.

The team offer them an alternative, with chat, games, chill-out time, internet time and soft drinks. And it’s open from 4-7pm, four afternoons a week. The same team also go out on the streets three nights a week to talk with young workers, and tell them about the centre.

There is also a dedicated team who visit the homeless camps every week and offer food, friendship, encouragement and help to those who in need. But all this work needs funding, and Pippa, the group’s resi-

dent, professional beautician, is giving her time to help. She will be at the Tenerife Family Church on Monday (29th) and Tuesday (30th), from 9.30am, to offer manicures and massages for a minimum five-euro donation to the church .

But please be generous, if possible.

Please let Kate know on 606 572 469 when you would like to have your treatment, and you will be booked in.

Church members are doing a 10km sponsored walk on Saturday, 11th October, along the area known as Geranium Walk, starting at 9am.

It is from La Caleta to Los Cristianos along the beach-front, taking in La Caleta, Del Duque, Puerto Colon, San Eugenio, Las Americas and, finally, Los Cristianos.

Food

26th September 2014 - 2nd October 2014

Silencio’s hidden Greek treasure THIS week we are featuring something completely different - a taste of the Mediterranean cuisine of the Greek isles.

Taverna Lycos is a hidden gem situated on the main road of Costa del Silencio (details later), and it is well worth a

visit. We arrive and are seated amid the traditional décor of what you would expect from a Greek tavern.

We ask what they would recommend for us to drink and they suggest we try the Greek wine, one of the few places which supply it on the Island.

We went for the Red Imiglicos and were surprised by the refreshing taste. I would say it’s definitely sweeter and fruitier than a normal red, but perfect for our warm climate, and it paired well with the food that followed.

To begin with, we shared the Meze, which were the mixed starters.

This comprised Tzatziki, (a type of cucumber yoghurt, fresh and delicious), marinated feta cheese and kalamatra olives, grilled cheese, grilled squid and muscles, as well as Dolmadakia, which are a speciality of rice wrapped in vine leaves and served with a lemon sauce.

The multi-dish Meze

also comes with a variety of dips and sauces, as well as fresh, warm bread on the side.

As with all Greek food, the wonderful thing about meze - rather like its Spànish cousin tapas - is the freshness of its ingredients, which include an abundance of herbs and olive oil, and the variety of flavours, from earthy and meaty to zesty and sweet.

For mains, we went for the Lamb Laros and the Paros Greek salad, which we also shared - a good decision as the portions were rather generous, to say the least.

But before we were allowed to start our second course, we just had to have a small shot of Ouzo, the local liqueur, to “settle our stomachs” for the rest of the food.

The lamb was tender and infused deliciously with garlic and rosemary, served with mixed, roasted herb vegetables and potatoes.

The salad was colourful and full of flavour - a mix

of Feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, with a mint-and-herb dressing.

The two dishes together made a perfect combination, and we really didn’t have space for full desserts. But they did persuade us try small samples of the Greek yoghurt with honey (the healthy option) and the Halva, a light pastry with nuts and honey (the notso-healthy option).

We had a quick chat with the owners, Jutta and Wolf Darteld, to see where their inspiration for this beauty came from, and it turns out they are originally from Germany, which explains why it was all done to perfection.

But they worked many years in Greek kitchens and have a real passion for these southern Mediterranean flavours.

All the base products used are imported from a specialist wholesaler.

And if you would like to see the rest of the amazing menu, we urge you to take a look at their website. www.Taverna-lycos. com Taverna Lycos is open 6-10.30pm every evening except Wednesday, and they are also open for Sunday lunch in the winter from midday.

The taverna can be found in the Chaparral apartments next to the shopping centre of the same name on the righthand side of the main Silencio road, coming from the Las Galletas turn-off.

It is also an excellent venue for private parties and special occasions. For more details, or to reserve a table, contact 626 360, 167

Duster’s polished job!

By Jav IT almost defies logic that a carmaker can offer a respectable-looking 4x4 for under 10 grand - and keep churning them out, to satisfy new buyers.

But that’s exactly what Dacia, now the EU’s fastest-growing car manufacturer, have done. Well, to be strictly accurate, what The Renault Group have achieved since spotting the company’s potential in 1999 and buying the firm.

Dacia were founded in 1966 and, thanks to shared technology and production methods, Renault have helped Dacia become a global icon in their own right, selling just under 350,000 vehicles worldwide in 2011 and over 1.8 million since 2004.

It is an astonishing success story, and Dacia have production facilities across the globe, including Romania and Morocco. And UK versions of the highlypopular, classy-looking Duster are built at a

Renault-Nissan Alliance factory in India.

The big question with a budget car-maker is always: “Are their cars reliable? The answer in this case is a simple “Yes”, because their cars use only useful and proven technology from the Renault-Nissan Alliance.

And that is surely why they finished second, just behind Audi, in the 2010 JD Power Customer Satisfaction Sur-

vey in Germany. A year later, the company were voted “Europe’s Most Reliable Car Brand” in a survey of 29,000 carowners across five European companies.

And that is why Dacia/ Renault have no hesitation in updating their famous Duster 4x4, with prices starting from £9,495 for the entry-level compact SUV, rising to £15,495 for the flagship Laureate model.

What’s new is the

chrome front grille, made up of two layers of four intakes, as well as “Duster” branded roof bars for all trim levels – finished in chrome for Laureate spec.

Round the back, there’s a Duster-badged black tailgate bar, while top-spec variants also get 16-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured door handles and dark, metal wing mirrors.

There are five new metallic colours for Ambi-

ance and Laureate as well - Mercury, Khaki, pearl Black, Slate Grey and Cinnamon - offering customers an alternative to the standard-fit, solid Glacier White.

Inside, every Duster gets new upholstery and seats, including Hassium cloth for Access trim and Osmium cloth for Ambiance, while Laureate gets Rhodium cloth with Duster lettering.

As well as the three trim levels passing over,

Dacia are again offering a choice of two engines, and both two- and fourwheel drive layouts.

The entry-level Access model gets a 105bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine only, but Ambiance and Laureate versions are powered by a 1.5-litre dCi diesel, rated at 107bhp when paired to frontwheel drive Dusters and 109bhp for the 4x4s.

Highlights for Access spec (£9,495-£11,495) include remote-locking, electric front windows, ESC and traction control, plus body-coloured bumpers and a tyre pressure monitor.

Opt for Ambiance (£11,995-£13,995) and you get 16-inch Matterhorn steel wheels, satinchrome door handles, a radio/CD player with USB and Bluetooth, plus front fog lights and a 60/40 folding rear seat.

Topping things off is Laureate (£13,495£15,495), which gets the new Tyrol alloys and chromed roof-bars, alongside manual aircon, electric mirrors and windows all round, cruise-control with a speed limiter, and a leather-trim steering wheel.

Take a good look if you spot a stationary one and marvel at the workmanship.– the proud owner won’t mind, that’s for sure!

The importance of quality car oil

By Emma at Motorworld

OIL serves as the primary form of lubrication found in internal combustion engines, such as those in cars.

Lubrication is needed to stop metal parts from grinding on each other while the motor is running; the oil creates a film around the metal parts, which allows them to move together without over-excessive contact.

Without lubrication, the wear and

tear of metal on metal will cause engine parts to break and, ultimately, destroy the motor.

Engine oil also helps keep motors from overheating by transferring heat away from the motor while also filtering by-products away from the engine.

Coating metal parts with oil also keeps them from being exposed to oxygen, inhibiting oxidation at elevated operating temperatures, preventing rust or corrosion.

Motor oils are graded on a viscosity rating of 0-50. For example, 5W30 motor oil has a winter viscosity of 5 and a hot viscosity of 30.

Viscosity changes with temperature. Most new cars will include manufacturer’s recommen-

dations for which grade of oil to use.

If you are unsure, consult your mechanic, who should be changing your oil and filter at regular intervals - and who will, generally, use a good quality oil rather than some of those available at supermarket outlets, or garages offering oil changes at very low prices.

This oil is often - but not always - of an inferior quality and can end up costing you more money in the long term.

Oil must be capable of separating the moving parts in your engine at the operating temperature. On the basis that an oil’s viscosity is related to its load-carrying ability, you could be fooled into thinking that thicker oils are better at lubricating. But

you would be wrong.

The fact is that the wrong application of a high-viscosity oil can be just as damaging as using a low-viscosity one.

The use of an oil that’s too thin can cause metal-to-metal contact, poor sealing and increased oil consumption.

Alternatively, an oil that’s too thick can cause increased friction, reduced energy efficiency, higher operating temperatures, and poor starts in cold temperatures - not that this applies here in the South of Tenerife too often!

Modern oils have a lower viscosity. This means they’re thinner, helping the engine turn over more easily, and ensuring that the oil can circulate quickly around

the engine soon after start-up.

Thinner oil helps fuel consumption, too.

Oil-operating temperatures range from a cold start in winter to normal driving conditions in summer. To meet this need, engine oils have “multi-grade” additives known as viscosity improvers, which are used to give them one viscosity when cold and another when hot.

Apart from just the viscosity-rating, oils are also graded because of the nature of the oil. There are recycled, conventional, semi-synthetic and fully-synthetic oils. The difference is not just in the price but also in the quality of the oil and in its brand.

However, it is important to ensure you use the correct one be-

cause, in petrol engines, the top piston ring can expose the motor oil to temperatures of 160° C. And in diesel engines, the oil temperatures are nearly doubled.

As with most things, cheapest is not always the best, and if you wish to get the most out of your engine, then using a quality oil is important. There are varying grades, such as 5W40, 5W30, 10W40 and 15W40 to name but a few. And most garages will offer a choice when your car is serviced.

As you can see, this can be a minefield for a novice, or those who know little about cars other than how to drive them!

Tenerife’s Derby D-Day

By Roscoe Real Valladolid 2 CD Tenerife 1 SUNDAY’S win for Valladolid saw them move into second place, while Tenerife slipped into the relegation zone.

It was hard to argue that the hosts didn’t deserve the win based on their first-half performance, but Tenerife were excellent after the break.

With a bit of luck, they could have flown home with a point, and there is a feeling that everything is going against them at the moment.

Uli Davila’s last-gasp goal was no real consolation, but on paper it was no disaster. In the first five matches, Tenerife have now played the second, fourth and fifth sides, while the leaders are in Santa Cruz on Sunday morning.

They say you can forget the league table in a derby game, and the old adage is true. Back in December,Tenerife were floating around the dropzone, while Las Palmas were flying high in the play-offs.

Position

But the Tenerife lads hadn’t read the script and they destroyed their Canarian rivals 3-0. In truth, it could have been six or seven!

Alvaro Cervera’s side went into the match unbeaten in seven and, of course, they come into this match with just one win since Easter. However, Tenerife are pretty much the same side as then.

Only a fool would second-guess Cervera and his starting line-up, but an injury to Jacobo will see Roberto back in goal on Sunday morning.

Carlos Ruiz and Javi Moyano will be in defence and, maybe, Raul Camara. Tenerife could

even have the same starting midfield with Suso, Cristo, Aitor Sanz and, if he’s fit, Ricardo.

Aridane will certainly be in attack.

The same cannot be said for Las Palmas, who have shaken off their play-off nightmare in some style. They are unbeaten this season and have won their last four.

They spanked bigspending Alcorcon 4-1 last weekend, and their new signings have hit the ground running. Even their kids are doing the biz.

Last season, clown keeper Barbosa was sent off after 20 minutes and young cat Raul was giv-

en the toughest of Derby debuts. He did okay. And when Barbosa moved on in the summer, he was given a chance. He has literally grabbed it with both hands.

And their old heads are keeping it all together. Momo, Garica and Lopez are all over 32, while Valeron is now 50!

Okay, he’s 39 and still a decent player.

There is some good news for CDT as their star striker, Sergio Araujo, is a major doubt. The 22-year-old is on loan from Boca Juniors and he already helped himself has to seven goals.

He was disappointing

when on loan with Barca B last year and they decided not to buy him.

But Las Palmas took a punt and he has been a revelation. However, he jarred a knee in training on Wednesday and, unless it’s mind games, he is out. Hector Figueroa, the likely replacement, has been found wanting at this level since stepping up from the B team.

Tenerife are expecting 19,000 fans to be inside the Heliodoro, and that would be the biggest gate for years. Offically, Las Palmas have taken and sold 2,000 tickets.

But many more are expected to be inside.

For Vitolo, it’s the first derby match in over 10 years. He last played in the March 2004 derby when Tenerife won 2-0.

“I have waited a very long time for this,” he said.

“It is difficult to talk about who is favourite in these types of games, because surely the environment will be very intense.

“We are in need of points more than Las Palmas, and football is very dependent on moods. The most important thing is that we are a good group of players and we all know what is at stake. We have a good team and that will bring good results.”

He added: “We all know what it means to play a derby, and my only thought is to end Sunday with seven points on the board. We all have the same shield on the chest and we will play as good and as hard as we can.”

Stats mean nothing in football, and games are not played by history books. But Tenerife have had the upper hand in Santa Cruz matches recently. You have to go back to Christmas 2001 for the last time Las Palmas won here.

And in those six games, Tenerife have never looked like losing!

Gaffers left bamboozled!

GAFFERS A, now 15 points adrift of Emerald Shamrocks, were early hopefuls of claiming the Division 1 title.

But, they can’t afford any more results like their 5-3 defeat against those beach boys at Bamboo.

The visitors won the match via the trebles leg, despite Gary hitting a maximum for the hosts. That leaves the Shamrocks firmly in pole position after they battered Sundowners 8-0.

Alex hit a 180 and Jamie checked out on 101 during the Playboys’ emphatic 7-1 win over Picasso’s A, while Clouseaus made it three victories on the trot with a 5-3er over Emerald Lounge.

The other match in this section saw Naughty Nautas squeeze past Pas O Nadas, courtesy of the last rubber.

What a turn around at the Division 2 summit.

Chipeque Chippers seemed to have lost the plot somewhere because, in what could prove to be a significant result, they suffered a second successive defeat, losing 6-2 at home

against championship hopefuls Waterfall Warriors.

The Warriors now sit level on points with The Palms, who could

do no more than beat the Playgirls to nothing.

All to play for I reckon! Palms Sport Bar also recorded a whitewash as they took The Bar to the cleaners, while The Rebels’ 6-2 success over the Spear Chuckers included a first maximum for a delighted Anna. Good spear-chucking, girl!

There was no doubting the big match of Week 15 in the Premier League. It came at Bar 180 as the A string entertained Target Army.

A cracking match went all the way to the trebles leg, which the Army boys

held to tie the game at 4-4.

London hit his second 180 for the Phoenix at The Pub, but that was the only highlight for the visitors as they crashed to a 6-2 defeat.

Vikings Ensecan, tough cookies at home, proved it again by hammering Bar 180 B 7-1.

Meanwhile, the Inkspots keep plugging away and keep smiling, though getting little reward for their efforts.

So guess who had the biggest smiles after claiming their second win of the season? Well, it certainly wasn’t Bar 180 D!

Oasis Fm Fantasy League

Euro cup games so harmful!

WELCOME to the joys of the European cup competitions, which are now up and running.

Several people have spoken this week about players being rested after appearing midweek in Europe - and what an effect it has had on their teams in the Oasis Fm Fantasy League.

It certainly makes the task of picking a team

even more difficult when you can’t secondguess a club manager’s team selection. But it also makes the league a lot more interesting.

There were some unusual results this week, which, in turn, have made the point-scoring Team of the Week most interesting.

Chelsea, who have been going great guns, didn’t get a player in the final 11 after their draw with Man City.

But Leicester were re-

warded for their heroics with two players in the team, as were Arsenal and Sunderland.

The rest of the team featured players from Everton, West Brom, Man Utd, Liverpool and Stoke. Stephen Snook’s Kingsmead Crunchers have climbed back into top spot after a dip in form last week. But it is really close, pointswise. And with such a long way to go, you feel that they will struggle to maintain their cur-

rent exploits. It wasn’t a high-scoring points week by any means because the Team of the Week, with just 66 points, were Anthony Cracknell’s Fc Twenty. He made a shrewd choice, with Angel Di Maria as his captain.

At Oasis Fm Towers, John Zammit relinquished the 26-point lead he held over second-placed Chris Elkington, who moved into a two-point lead.

Roscoe remains in

third spot, while Adi Benson managed to climb a few more places and snatch a few points

back. But he is still 22 points adrift.

Somebody needs a good run this week!

A night of surprises

FRANKIE VALLI once sang Oh, What A Night, and I could think of nothing more appropriate to describe Tuesday’s games in the Direct Telecom Pool League.

It really was a week that had everything: twists, turns, shocks … and a Spoon Squad win.

In Division One, Gaffers A retained top spot, but their lead was cut to just a point. They travelled to Golf led Sur to tackle Waterfall Rebels, who had taken only one point from their previous three games.

But Sheepy and the boys upped their game and produced their best pool of the season. It was a tight game throughout and the teams couldn’t be separated, the match finally being drawn.

That gave Tenerife Hammers A a chance to close the gap on their rivals, but they came up against an equally-resilient Peacocks team.

They traded early frames, and the game was poised at 4-4. With captain Wes in the UK, Hammers couldn’t find that extra gear. Peacocks dug deep and took two frames to en-

sure at least a point, and it all came down to the last frame.

Step forward an unlikely hero in Wagsy, who found the strength to beat Carl and give the Hammers a massive point. Phoenix Potters, still second in the league, are quietly going about their business as they recorded their fourth win in five games.

They welcomed Dreamers A to Los Abrigos, and it was another tight game. But the Potters are a difficult side to beat and had enough in the tank for the victory. Dreamers are starting the season slowly again, just like last time.

Palms A served notice of their intent as they moved up to fourth spot with a professional performance against Hammers C. Both teams play from the same bar, but the Palms were not in a charitable mood, They turned the screw from frame one and didn’t let up, eventually winning 11-1.

Terrace Bar A also enjoyed a trip to the Palms Bar, where they took on Palms B. You have to go back to East-

They are a team low on confidence, yet they got themselves into a great position, leading 5-3 going into the last four frames.

At this point, a collapse is normal for them, but they held their nerve and took the two frames needed for the win, and

a welcome three points.

Terrace Bar B were also in winning mood, racing into a 4-0 lead over Treehouse A. This this soon became 6-2 and, when Greer beat John, it was all over and the win was assured.

Inn the Pink A continued their decent start with a really good win over Exiles A. At 2-2 it was a close call, but the team from the Patch grabbed the next four games. Exiles recovered somewhat to 6-4 with the early frames in the last section. But Jamie and then John took the last two for the Pink team.

Exiles B fared better than their stablemates.

They hosted Atmosphere 13, who are finding life tough at the top table. It was a routine night for Exiles, who had the game sewn up nice and quickly.

In Division Two, Sporting Jester A are enjoying life at the top - now unbeaten in five games.

Tuesday’s opponents were Treehouse B, but they couldn’t halt the juggernaut, and Jesters will take some stopping this season.

comfortably in second position after visiting fellow Los Cristianos team Dreamers B. The home team couldn’t make that advantage work for them, and Inkspots won 10-2 to improve their frame-difference immensely.

Bluebell A have climbed up the table and claimed third spot. They visited bottom team Toscales Beer Chuckers and came close to a whitewash. But the Beer Chuckers retained a little pride by taking one frame.

In contrast, Toscales Wildcards have had a decent start, and they headed to La Caleta to test themselves against James Place, who are strong in this division.

playing solid pool. it looked as though it would be a stalemate.

But the home team just had enough and took the points.

Waterfall Jokers have been steady so far, winning three games from four. The Golf del Sur team took on Hoppy’s Bar and enjoyed another excellent away-day with a solid win.

In the night’s final game, Tenerife Pool Tables went in search of their first points of the season. But they were not obtained from home side Gaffers B. They never even worked up a sweat against opponents who didn’t put up much of a fight. And that left Gaffers with a 9-3 triumph for their first success of the season.

Premier League preview What on earth is going on?

By Adi Benson CAN anybody shed light on what is going on in the Barclay’s Premier League because every week, the results are getting stranger and stranger?

One thing is for sure: it is proof that this is one of the strongest leagues in the world. Those who spend the money and assemble the biggest and best squads rise to the top by the end of the season (well, some do).

But the so-called smaller clubs are certainly giving a good account of themselves and making life difficult for those big boys.

It was another win for me last week, so I’m asking: Who can Beat Benson? This week I take on Emma Benson (no relation), from La Caleta.

Liverpool v Everton It seems teams have worked out how to play Liverpool after last season. Famed for their fast starts, they have just not “happened” so far.

In fact, teams are doing well against them, and their defence is still not up to the task.

However, form and previous results go out of the window in a derby match. But Liverpool, quite simply, need a win!

Everton are another team stuttering this season - and losing to Crystal Palace will have dinted their confidence. But they will be pumped up for this game as ever, especially with bragging rights at stake. Both managers will not need much of a team talk!

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win Sunderland v Swansea Sunderland, who already look as though they will be involved in a relegation fight, just haven’t got it together yet. They missed out on one or two transfer targets, notably a striker, and they are struggling to score goals.

It is important to get results against teams around you, but they

drew a blank against a poor Burnley side and things are not looking good!

The Swans had been flying (pardon the pun), but they have had their wings clipped (yes, another one) in recent games, albeit against decent opposition. They need to get back to winning ways and will feel confident this game gives them a chance to do just that.

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Draw Southampton v QPR There were plenty of people jumping on the Southampton relegation bandstand after they supposedly sold their best players in the summer. But they are sitting pretty in second spot, despite a lack of superstars. Koeman has them playing good football and they could be a surprise package for a place in Europe.

But their opponents looked a relegationthreatened side Man Utd, although they looked confident hosting Stoke until, again, silly defensive mistakes cost them. In the end, they were lucky to go home with a point.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win Man Utd v West Ham So Van Gaal, the saviour, has made a worse start than David Moyes did after spending con-

siderably more money on players.. Everybody could see United needed defenders, but no one of any real class arrived, and against Leicester they looked nervous.

West Ham started quickly and physically against Liverpool - and it worked with two goals in seven minutes. If they come here with the same game plan, United could be in real trouble The Hammers will be full of confidence and will not fear their hosts, so this is a difficult test for Van Gaal’s team.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Away win Hull v Man City Hull will be disappointed to let a two-goal lead slip against Newcastle last weekend, so they will be anxious to get back on the pitch and make amends swiftly.

It might be a big ask, though, against the champions.

However a glance at the league table shows they are above Liverpool and United - a position I am sure they could hardly have expected, so they can take confidence from that.

City managed a point against title rivals Chelsea but wanted more, so they need a strong performance to show they are still challengers to retain their crown, Anything less than three points will be viewed as

a disaster.

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Away win Crystal Palace v Leicester Palace had an excellent win against a strong Everton side, which will have given the club a huge confidence boost ahead of this fixture.

They looked tight at the back and capable of scoring goals, but they need to be careful they don’t get carried away.

Many thought Leicester had made a mistake by paying a large sum for a Championship striker untested in the Premier League. But Ulloa now has five goals from five games and looks a bargain.

But if Palace are confident, then Leicester are flying after coming from behind against Man United, scoring four in a row to win 5-3 after trailing 3-1. The players and fans will now believe they can beat anyone, so let’s hope they don’t slip up here!

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Draw Chelsea v Aston Villa Whether they admit it or not, I am sure Chelsea would have been happy with a point before their game against City. But they’re still unbeaten and three points clear, which stands them in good stead. And they’ll be happy to be back at Stamford Bridge, which

they have turned into a fortress, Diego Costa wasn’t on the score sheet, but he will want to rectify that.

Villa started the season well, but they now have a run of games against strong teams.

And losing at home against Arsenal by conceding three goals in as many minutes was not the kind of buildup they needed for this clash. They must keep it tight, but Chelsea are such a strong, attacking team that it will be a tough test for them Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Draw Arsenal v Spurs Another tasty derby game sees Arsenal taking on their North London neighbours. The Gunners had an easyish game against Villa and will feel fresh going into this fixture. Sanchez should come back into the side, and they will be buoyant that Welbeck has opened his account. I expect Arsenal to attack quickly and score early on to settle the nerves.

Spurs haven’t been convincing and looked poor against West Brom.

They are failing in front of goal and are weak at the back.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Away West Brom v Burnley The Baggies just about dragged themselves out

of the relegation zone after their win at Spurs on Sunday, but there is still much to be done. Confidence is everything in football and, with their first win of the season secured, they will look to kick on and win this one as well.

Burnley have three draws from three games, but their lack of goals must be worrying the fans. Last season in the Championship, they had one of the best strike forces.

But because of injury and form, they haven’t played together yet in the Premier League Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Home win Stoke v Newcastle Stoke threw away two points against QPR after leading twice in a game they dominated.

Mark Hughes has tried to add guile to his team and is trying to get them playing more attractively. But it has yet to pay dividends.

Newcastle pinched a point from the jaws of defeat against Hull. The fans want manager Alan Pardew out, but despite their protests during the match, they still got behind their team. Newcastle need to follow up that performance with a win, especially as they are still bottom of the league.

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Away win
