Hit show makes waves Continued from front.

And it’s nice, for once, that a TV show is giving some positive publicity for the Island, rather than hatchet-job TV shows such as OAPs Behaving Badly.

The cast of TOWIE, as the show is fondly called, seem to have spent all their free time posting pictures on Twitter and social media about the delights of their stay.

The constructed reality show returns to UK TV screens on 22nd February, and the 14th series opener will feature the girls’ trip to Tenerife.

Lauren Pope, Danielle Armstrong, Billie Faiers, Fearne McCann, Lydia Bright, Bobby Norris, Gemma Collins and Chloe Sims are among the stars who have travelled over and have been followed by the UK paparazzi.

Every day this week, papers such as the Daily Mail have run lengthy pieces on the exploits of the TOWIE cast in Tenerife.

Their arrival at Reina Sofia airport on Monday saw pictures of Bobby Norris in an unusual Mickey Mouse onesie, making all the entertainment pages by sunset.

The following day, he was snapped around his hotel pool in La Caleta wearing nothing more than a small, red willy warmer! It’s not a picture we would publish in a family newspaper, but it did remind us of the lead singer from Cameo!

Like the previous day, the picture was all over the newspapers and internet. The girls were not to be outdone. Pool and bikini pictures flooded the internet and Twitter, again showcasing the Tenerife February sunshine. Chloe Sims shone in a stunning pink bikini, while Jessica Wright’s blue bikini created the same level of media interest.

They were in a number of Tenerife night spots on Tuesday night and they bumped into Dane Bowers, who is DJing at Magic and on Oasis Fm currently, and they partied into the very early hours.

The following afternoon Jessica Wright

Tweeted her 1.38 million followers: “Well last night was epic.”

It was also an interesting night at Biancos as the cast dined while Dane Bowers performed. They all enjoyed the evening and Tweeted their approval.

And it wasn’t just the food which got the girls smiling.

Gemma Collins in particular, enjoyed the standard of service. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that she stole a kiss off the waiter Tini.

Jessica Wright then sent the picture on Instagram with the caption “Go on Gem!” This led to a host of stories about Gem and the “mystery man”!

Aside from the speculation over a new show romance, the newspapers have been filled with stories of rows between the girls. One claimed that Fearne McCann had been having a series of rows with Danielle Armstrong, and that Bille Faiers was acting as a peacekeeper.

All stories were, of course, being written from behind a desk in London. But these gossip items bring interest to the show and, thanks to the week-long filming, great exposure for Tenerife.

Plenty of Tenerife residents will be on screen when the programme is aired. They were hired as extras during party scenes. The pay of between 100-200 euros, plus a free bar apparently attracted lots of interest. And those lucky enough to be chosen told Canarian Weekly that the stars were “Brilliant. They were funny, open and happy to talk. And happy to pose for pictures.”

Traditionally, the first episode of a new TOWIE series features filming overseas. Previous years have been set in Marbella, Dubai and Las Vegas.

The show began in 2010 and the Tenerife episode will be the 147th.

Despite gaining criticism for the way it portrays Essex people, the show has been a phenomenal success. It has been the launch pad to stardom for Amy Childs, Joey Essex and Mark Wright, who has recently been in Tenerife film-

Drum-beater Rajoy!

SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy unashamedly beat the drum for his PP Party in Parliament this week.

He told MPs that his Government’s main achievement had been to “overcome a very serious economic crisis - probably the worst Spain has seen in decades”.

And in addition to having avoided bankruptcy and a bail-out, he said, his Government has increased the competitiveness of the Spanish economy and is now enjoying economic growth and job creation.

Rajoy added: “What we need to do now is persevere, maintain the economic policies we have undertaken during the whole of this time, so we can face the future with much more optimism than we could have done three years ago.”

The PM recalled that

at the start of his legislature, the economy was in recession, 3½ million jobs had been shed and 70 billion euros had been lost in public revenue.

The risk premium stood at “unbearable levels”, there were many outstanding payments owed to, and Spain was suffering from “all the imbalances imaginable” - public and foreign trade deficits, inflation, external debt, the financial system, etc.

Rajoy said that over the course of his threeyear tenure, the government has “turned the situation around and the results are now within sight, although there still remains a lot to do”.

In 2014, the Spanish economy grew by 1.4% and the number of people in work increased by more than 400,000. And in 2015, he added: “We will be the major European Union economy to enjoy the most growth, and to generate the most jobs.”

He also welcomed the latest figures announced on consumption, vehicle and property sales, tourism and credit, “which will benefit all Spaniards”.

Rajoy stressed that the current situation is “considerably better than when we came to government in 2011, and these achievements need consolidating”.

He told MPs: “It is necessary to continue with the fiscal consolidation, and with the structural reforms, in order to grow more, create more jobs and for this to reach the Spanish people as a whole.”

Rajoy reiterated that the Welfare State has been maintained in Spain, pensions have not been frozen, the

unemployed have been attended to, “as have those in the worst economic situation”, and efforts have been made to maintain healthcare and education.

“Generating a period of sustainable and stable growth through correcting imbalances is, indeed, tantamount to defending the Welfare State,” he said.

But Rajoy was adamant that he was in favour of implementing “specific reforms” to the Spanish Constitution, but he does not feel this is the right time because those who want this “are not entirely clear about exactly what they want”.

He added: “I believe the best thing at this time is to leave things well alone, to concentrate on what is essential and have one thing very clear - it is not a good idea to reform the Constitution in pursuit of a political problem raised by some specific political forces.

“Such a reform calls

for calm, a settled situation and an absence of pressure from anyone.”

That was his response to José Montilla, a member of the Upper House for the Entesa Catalana de Progrés (Catalan Pact for Progress) political party, who asked him about a potential reform of the Constitution during the remaining term of this legislature.

Rajoy agreed with Montilla that reforms can be proposed to do away with the discrimination of women in the line of succession to the Spanish throne, or to mention the autonomous regions in the text.

But he said he considers that these are not issues which justify an urgent reform. He believes the priorities for the remaining term of this legislature concern overcoming the crisis, creating jobs, maintaining the Welfare State and avoiding the bankruptcy of certain public institutions.

Canaries’ poverty figures fall THERE are signs that the economic crisis is starting to ease in the Canary Islands.

According to a new report released this week, more than 50,000 Canarians have escaped poverty since 2009.

That is the main conclusion from a State Of Poverty In Spain report, published in Madrid as part of a wider European look at poverty on the continent.

An Arope indicator, which factors in household income along with total consumption and employment between 2009 and 2013, has revealed that on the archipelago, the number of people “in poverty” or “at risk of social exclusion” in both adult and children has fallen in the last few years.

Some 35.5% of the Canary Islands population - over 750,000 people -

are in this situation, but that figure is down 3% since 2009.

This means that 52,000 people have come out of poverty and the figure is improving every month. And the figures get better when you consider that the population of the Islands has increased by 1%.

One of the report’s authors, sociologist Juan Carlos Llano, said: “The data collected from the records published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) reveal a slow but steady decline in the Arope rate “This shows quite clearly that shortly before the start of the crisis in 2008, when the level of poverty was 27.3%, times were tough. But they are getting better, as the current 24.5% national figure shows.”

Officially, using the Arope system, more than 12.8 million people are at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Spain.

In the Canary Islands, the most affected group is young people be-

tween 16 and 30 years of age, with 33% at risk of poverty and exclusion, followed by children, with 31.9%.

In total, the child poverty rate for children under 16 years is 26.7%.

The Arope indicator also analyses the relative poverty rate, and

20.4% of the population of Spain are in “general” poverty while 6.1% live in “severe” poverty.

The report also shows that three million people, have day-to-day feeding problems. So much so that they have to delay payments such as rent or mortgage

to live. This is worrying rise of 800,000 when compared with 2009.

Many of these couldn’t afford to heat their homes in winter. And in 2013, 11.7% of people in poverty were unemployed.

The report also shows an interesting North-

South divide in Spain.

Navarra, Basque Country and Aragon regions have far lower poverty rates of around 20%, while the Canary Islands, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalusia range between 35% and 39%.

The report highlights the case of Ceuta, the territory in North Africa, where almost half the population (47%) live in poverty.

Nereida Castro, President of Unicef Canary Islands, was appalled, saying: “Childhood has been the most vulnerable section of our society to suffer in the economic crisis. Therefore, we demand the Government do more to abolish child poverty.”

Olga Nazco, from Red Cross, added “We see every day how this causes suffering. We see every day an increase in the number of people who have basic needs.

“Children are the most vulnerable when crisis occurs. I hope that the downward trend continues in 2015.”

Princess in the dock IT’S just not enough being Spanish royalty even if your Dad was once the king and your brother is now on the throne.

Princess Cristina, and her husband, former Olympic handball player Inaki Urdangarin, are facing trial in one of Spain’s longest-running corruption scandals.

The 49-year-old princess is charged with two counts of being an accessory to a tax fraud, in relation to her husband’s business affairs.

Urdangarin and his former business partner are accused of siphoning off 6m euros in public funds meant for sports events. He has been charged with embezzlement, tax fraud and influence peddling.

The money was, allegedly, placed in the non-profit Noos Institute, which Urdangarin chaired from 2004 to 2006, and of which Cristina was a board member, for it to organise

sports events. Back in November 2013, a Mallorcan court ordered the seizure of properties owned by Urdangarin to help cover a 6.1m-euro bond for his and an associate’s liability in the case.

The court authorised the sale of the couple’s mansion, which has panoramic views of Barcelona, sprawling gardens and a salt-water pool, for 6.95m, euros below the 8m-euro-plus the property is said to have cost them.

Cristina and her husband bought the home in the exclusive Pedralves area of Barcelona in 2004. It has 10 bathrooms and a lift, leading to questions about how they paid for it. The couple put it up for sale in 2013 for 9.8m euros, before it was seized by the court.

Since 2013, Cristina and her family have been living in Geneva, where she works for Catalan finance group Caixabank.

The couple’s lawyers say they are innocent of any wrong-doing.

Adeje goes digital

ADEJE Council has given the green light for a digitalised billing system for companies.

Epifanio Díaz Hernandez, the Tax and Finance Councillor, said: “We have adopted this initiative to assist local suppliers, avoiding an unnecessary trip to our offices.”

The move is in line with the 2013 law to encourage electronic billing, and an accounting register for bills in the public sector.

This, said the Councillor, should “speed up the process of payments and guarantee the registration of bills still outstanding”.

Poland love the Canaries CANARY Islands’ President Paulino Rivero this week spent three days in Warsaw, where he met representatives of major tour operators and travel agencies.

Poland is seen as an untapped market, and its economy is growing, which leads to more holiday bookings in Spain. And Rivero is keen for the Canary Islands to raise its profile as a tourist destination.

“Poland is destined to become a leading market for us,” he said.

“One-third of Poles who visit Spain choose our archipelago as a holiday resort.”

Even better, tour operators in Poland have highlighted the increasing interest in their country for Canarian trips.

Between 2010 and

2014, Rivero said the number of Polish tourists visiting the Canaries doubled from to 200,000.

And most had visited Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.

Rivero was keen to point out that the Canaries received 12% more Polish visitors last year, compared with 2013. Yet in 2006, just 20,000 tourists holidayed in the archipelago.

Rivero was joined in Warsaw by Ricardo Fernandez de la Puente, regional Deputy Minister of Tourism.

They met with tour operators like TUI Poland, Rainbow Tours and Neckermann Polska and also spent a day with the Spanish Tourist Office in Warsaw.

Rivero said: “There has been a large improvement in the flights between the Canaries and Poland in recent months.

“Until the summer of 2014, charter flights only

were available. But from the winter of 2014-2015, Ryanair and Norwegian Air have entered this market by establishing regular routes with Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. This is a step in the right direction.”

With low-cost airlines entering the market, scheduled air capacity for this season is 54% higher than the previous winter. This represents 36,000 additional seats, while there are

similar forecasts for the summer season. Encouragingly, 46% of the flights this year will be scheduled.

Rivero outlined plans to strengthen the Canary Islands as a Polish destination, including a campaign from 1st March, which will run until the end of the month.

Adverts for the islands will be broadcast on major Polish television, digital media and media outlets with the slogan

which broadly translates to: “Recharge your life.”

Rivero said: “We are the best destination for 365 days a year, and we’re competitive because we have a climate that permits all-yearround holidays. And, of course we also have the infrastructure and services of the highest order.”

Agustín Martínez, Ambassador of Spain in Poland, said: “One-third of tourists to Spain go

to the Canary Islands.

And they will continue to grow as a preferred destination for Poles because of the high level and professionalism of the Canarian tourist sector.”

Of the Polish tourists visiting the Canary Islands, 90% have package holidays, with more than half going all-inclusive.

In addition, 55% stay at four-star hotels and just 10% sleep in apartments.

Vueling twice as busy CABILDO President Carlos Alonso has announced that the Vueling airline is to double its number of routes to the Island.

The company will this summer increase from five to 10 routes between Tenerife and airports on the Iberian peninsula, and open a new one with the Orly airport in Paris.

Vueling operates from Tenerife North airport to those in Coruña, Bilbao, Malaga, Seville and Barcelona.

The number of aircraft based in the North airport will also increase.

The five new routes with Spanish airports start from 4th April and will provide a twiceweekly service to Valen-

cia, and, from 2nd August, two flights a week to Alicante.

The Santiago de Compostela route begins on 7th August, while the route between Tenerife North and Santander operates from 10th August.

This will be a weekly service - the same as the Tenerife North to Zaragoza route, which starts on 13th August.

Weekly flights between Tenerife North and Orly begin on 9th August and all operations are planned to continue af-

ter the summer.

Alonso said: “These extra routes show not only how much Tenerife is valued as a holiday destination, but also show how the economic recovery will help the national tourism to Tenerife.”

Friday the 13th No Fear of Spooky Day IT’S Friday the 13th, which is considered unlucky in the Western world. And if you have a fear of today, then you suffer from tr i sk a de k a p h o bia.

But what are you actually afraid of? Nobody really knows why some people fear Friday the 13th. In Spain, it’s actually Tuesday the 13th which is feared, and this one is a little easier to trace. It dates back to the fall of Constantinople (not Istanbul.

Ask your granparents) in 1207 on Tuesday the 13th.

Still it’s the cheapest day to fly!

What is unlucky is flying with Heather Cho. I hate flight delays. Most of them seem so easily avoided, yet we have all been on that horror flight.

This women however, took horror delays to a new level. I’m sure you remember her story from last year. This

week a court in South Korea sentenced Cho to a year in prison.

Her flight crime? She went erm, nuts after her requested Macadamia nuts were served in a packet and not a bowl!

She was the Executive Vice-President of Korean Air until she was forced to resign after the incident in December on a flight from New York to Seoul.

Cho, taking the “don’t you know who I am” to a new level, had ordered the plane to return to its gate so the Chief Steward could be removed for not giving her nuts in a bowl.

The 40-year-old has been convicted of obstructing aviation safety after making an unauthorised demand for the plane to return to the gate.

One of the judges said that the incident would never have occurred if Cho had shown consideration for other human beings and had not treated them as slaves.

Imagine being told that your flight was delayed because of a bowl of nuts!

Dear Editor, With regards to the letters about electric scooters along the frontal area, these were made to allow invalid persons to transport themselves out and about.

If not, they would be sitting in a hotel or, like my wife and I, they would have to suffer the climate of UK and not be able to come to Tenerife.

For last few years we have been able to hire a double scooter, which has enabled to get about.

But during our last visit, we have noticed that more of these have been offered for hire to all and sundry, and not as a means to transport for incapacitated people.

This is becoming a problem and, obviously, the local council or those responsible for the area will, at some time, have to make a decision on their use.

So may I suggest that their use be limited to the infirm, and a blue badge (or a relevant doctor’s note) be produced at the time of hire and photo-copied as proof that it is hired to the right person.

If the person is then stopped, he/she will be covered. And if the “driver” does not warrant its use, he/she will be liable to a substantial fine.

Also. the age of youngsters and the speed of the electric, two-wheel scooters, should be looked into before there is a bad accident. And do put the pedal bikes back on the roads, as they are intended.

I am a regular winter visitor to Tenerife, and will continue to be - as long there are invalid (double) scooters.

D Brunton, Mirfield, West Yorkshire

Dear Editor, I WOULD like to thank Claudia and Marie, who manage La Pepa food market at La Pasarella, Los Cristianos, for their co-operation and personal help towards my successful market there last Friday.

My friends and I raised 1,485 euros, which we made up to 1,500 euros towards the maintenance of the “Cancer Bus” I purchased recently.. It was our best market ever!

I have been overwhelmed by the help and support from British people in the South of Tenerife in my campaign to buy - and now to maintain - the lovely 18-seater bus to transport cancer patients to Candelaria Hospital for their vital treatment.

And on their behalf, I say thank-you to everyone involved.

Carol Chappell

Dear Editor, I am a retired expat living at San Eugenio Alto. I am regular visitor to bars in the Puerto Colon area, where there is music on a regular basis.

What I can’t understand is that the bars we frequent have all the proper paperwork for music, yet the local police seem hell-bent on closing them down. despite the Island relying on tourism.

We can walk around the port area, and the Kaluna Beach Club can have thumping music, but nothing is done.

It seems there’s one law for one and not the other the way the police are performing, and, because of the , this will soon be a skeleton Island.

I suspect there are a lot of people of the same opinion, and I believe a lot of the problem is the jealousy of other bar owners.

Name and address supplied

Dear Editor With regard to the community problems experienced by D Wyn Jones in last week’s Canarian Weekly, a “registered, established” community appoints a President.

He or she is the authorised legal representative of the community and the Administrator acts on instructions from the President, The “Horizontal Law of Communities” is quite explicit in these matters. At the next community meeting, D. Wyn Jones, together with the support of other owners, should table a question (or ensure it is on the agenda) regarding legal action to recover the outstanding community fees.

A lawyer’s letter is the next stage, followed by a “denuncia”. Ultimately, the court has the power to seize property and assets to pay off outstanding community fees, including all legal costs.

This course of action can only be started by the President, formally at a community meeting, by a vote and supported by a majority of owners and then recorded properly by the Administrator in the community minutes.

In view of the history and length of time, this must put a considerable strain on the owners’ financial ability to cover the maintenance costs of the community, so the President must act quickly and decisively.

Rodney Hart, Ex Community President.

Queen Adtemexi - f ADTEMEXI Cruz Hernandez is the new Carnival Queen after triumphing in the Santa Cruz beauty pageant on Wednesday night.

The 27-year-old, who beat 14 other hopefuls, said: “Unbelievable! I am so very happy. I cannot believe it!”

She wore an ensemble called “The Aurea Fantasy” which was designed by Jorge Gonza-

lez, and was representing Fuentealta and the Santa Cruz Cultural Association.

Santa Cruz Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez presented Adtemexi with her trophy after an exhilarating competition. Traditionally, the event can take a few hours. But this year’s director, Juan Carlos Arma, made the show fast-paced, and he was rewarded with a snappy pageant which was well received.

The theme was “2060”,

Smoker-drivers won’t be able to carry kids IN a move which is bound to upset British drivers smoking in cars carrying children will be banned in England from 1st October.

The new law is being introduced because 342 MPs voted in favour of it, with just 74 against.

Those caught lighting up could face a £50 fine, although the ban will not affect people driving other adults around.

Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Government’s Chief Medical Officer, said: “The passing of regulations to make smoking in cars carrying under-18s illegal is a significant victory for protecting children’s health from second-hand smoke.

“Just a single cigarette

in a car exposes children to high levels of air pollutants and can-

cer-causing chemicals like arsenic, formaldehyde and tar.” The con-

cern for smoker-drivers over here is that what becomes law in

England will almost certainly be adopted by European countries in time.

This was demonstrated when smoking was outlawed in British bars, restaurants and other public places in July 2007 and Spain including Tenerife - followed suit some time later, Incredibly - to nonsmokers at least - more than 400,000 children are exposed to secondhand smoke in their family car every week in England, according to the British Lung Foundation.

Chief executive Dr Penny Woods said: “We urge the Government to show the same commitment to introduce standardised packaging for all tobacco products, to protect the 200,000 children taking up smoking every

year in England.”

But Simon Clark, head of the group Forest, which campaigns for the right to smoke, called the law “excessive” and said the Government should not be interfering in people’s “private space”.

He added: “The overwhelming majority of smokers know it’s inconsiderate to smoke in a car with children present and they don’t do it.

“They don’t need the state micro-managing their lives. This is gesture politics and a worrying development.”

“For the first time the Government is dictating whether people can smoke in their own private space.”

The ban comes as a consultation has been taking place on proposals to ban under-18s from buying electronic cigarettes.

King takes a pay cut KING Felipe VI has responded to pressure and taken a pay cut for 2015. He has agreed to have his salary reduced by 20% and will collect 234,204 euros before tax. That is 58,000 euros less than his father collected in his last full term.

However, the King will still earn more this year than he did in 2014. Last year Felipe, as the Prince of Asturias, received 146,375.50 euros before taxation.

It is understood the monarch was keen to show that, as leader, he understands how the crisis is affecting his country and he was happy to take the pay reduction.

The former king, Juan Carlos, will be paid 187,356 euros gross this year, which 36% less than last year’s

292,752 euros gross.

Meanwhile, Queen Letizia this year receives 128,808 euros gross, almost 26% more than in 2014, when she got 102,464 euros gross, But again, that was when she had the junior role as Princess of Asturias.

Finally, the king decided that his mother, Queen Sofia, receives 105,396 euros gross, 20% below her 131,739 euros gross last year.

These wages come out of the state budget allocated each year specifically to the King for “the maintenance of his Family and Household” and “is freely distributed” to the monarch under Article 65 of the Constitution This is the first time the budget is being distributed by King Felipe and neither the Infanta Elena and Infanta Cristina receive any salary as they are no longer part of the Royal Family.

This year, 7.77 million euros has been al-

located to budget the Royal Family in 2015 - the same figure as in 2014.

A spokesman said: “King Felipe has decided his salary this year following two criteria. First, looking at the pay of the highest authorities of the State and, secondly, by looking at the salaries for heads of neighbouring states.”

King Felipe’s pay is comparable to the heads of German or Italian and some European monarchies.

However, his salary remains very inferior to other European kings and queens. For example, Queen Elizabeth II earned £35 million in 2013.

The rest of the budget distribution for the Royal Household sees little change. There will be some modernisation done to the Palace but nothing out of the ordinary.

In fact, last year, the Royal House came in 12,500.02 euros under budget.

A BRITISH expat has been accused of beating a suspected paedophile to death after catching him filming his young daughter on an iPad.

Estate agent Victor Kainth was enjoying a family meal with his partner, Gemma Hawkins, in the Spanish millionaire’s playground of Sotogrande when he noticed the German filming the girl.

The 40-year-old father repeatedly asked the man, Sandro Rottman, to stop. But he continued so Kainth, said to be a boxer, grabbed the iPad. When Mr Kainth discovered pictures of his daughter on the tablet, he threw it on the floor and allegedly punched Rottman in the head before leaving the restaurant.

The 43-year-old graphic designer, who had been arrested a few days previously for possessing child pornography, was taken to hospital but died from his injuries.

Police confirmed that

Expat accused of killing a German

the blow had caused Rottman’s death, but one witness said Mr Kainth also kicked him.

When officers arrived at the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning, they found Rottman with “very serious” injuries.

The couple were dining at the Spinnaker restaurant with their

three children. A police spokesman said: “The incident happened because of a video the victim had been recording of the British man’s daughter.

The father snatched the tablet he was using and, when he discovered there were images of his daughter on it, he threw it to the ground

and assaulted him.’ Mr Kainth was identified by witnesses, and police arrested him at his nearby home. He appeared before a magistrate on Monday and was remanded in custody, accused of homicide.

The Spinnaker owner, who asked not to be named, said: “It all happened very quickly. The

German man appeared to be taking pictures of everyone - not just the British man’s daughter – and it all seemed very innocent to me.

“The British man seemed to get very upset all of a sudden and punched the other man before anyone could stop him.

“He’d already paid for his dinner and left immediately.”

The manager of another Sotogrande restaurant said: “The German had a bad reputation locally and was banned from various bars. “He owed money in various places and was quite an odd fellow. As I understand it, he was in there with his iPad and taking pictures of people in the bar.

“Mr Kainth was looking through the photos on the tablet and saw photos of his children.

Then he went further back and saw pornographic pictures of

other children and just went crazy. He punched him to the ground and started kicking him.”

Police confirmed that the victim had been arrested a few days earlier for possession of child pornography.

The Briton, said to be short and stocky, was understood to work out every day in a gym, with one friend describing him as “hard as nails”.

The family moved to Sotogrande a year ago, although they have been visiting the resort for years.

The couple are well known in the resort for their matching “his and her’s” black-and-white Range Rovers and their lavish spending.

Mr Rottman had lived in Sotogrande for a decade, and friends say he had a design company in Gibral Sotogrande is one of Spain’s most upmarket resorts and the exclusive Andalucian estate is a favourite of Tony Blair, Sarah Ferguson and her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are ready to provide consular assistance if requested.”

Prisoners win the right to vote... but they still can’t!

PRISONERS in Britain had their rights breached when they were not allowed to vote in elections, according to European judges.

The case was brought by inmates imprisoned during various elections between 2009 and 2011.

And, for the fourth time, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK’s blanket ban on giving convicted prisoners the vote.

The Court has actual-

ly called for a change in the law, but to no avail so far.

The previous Labour government and current coalition have failed to legislate, although various proposals have been debated in an attempt to end the long-running row with the Strasbourg court.

This latest effort concerned 1,015 prisoners - a collection of longstanding prisonervoting cases - and the Court ruled that there had been a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights - right to a

free election.

Clive Coleman, BBC legal affairs correspondent, said the ruling was “not a surprise” and added that there had been a succession of similar judgements over the last decade.

There is now a “standoff ”, and he believes nothing will happen until after the next election.

The European Court of Human Rights oversees the human rights law, to which the UK has agreed.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “The Government has always been clear that

it believes prisoner voting is an issue that should, ultimately, be decided in the UK. However, we welcome the court’s decision to refuse convicted prisoners costs or damages.”

Sean Humber, from law company Leigh Day and representing 554 of the prisoners, welcomed the court’s ruling and said they would be seeking a review of the decision not to award compensation.

“Unfortunately, we seem to be in the sad position where the Government is tak-

ing an almost perverse pleasure in ignoring successive court judgements,” he said.

“It is content to continue violating the human rights of thousands of its citizens.

But it should be worrying to all of us that the Government appears to have so little regard for its international human rights obligations or, indeed, the rule of law.”

The European Court first ruled in 2005 that the UK’s blanket ban on prisoners voting must be amended.

The case was brought by convicted killer

John Hirst, who has since been released after serving 25 years in jail.

After the latest court ruling, he said: “It is a real shame that compensation has not been awarded. While I can get some satisfaction from the ruling, the government keeps ignoring what the ECHR is saying.

“You don’t lose your status in civil society just because you’re in prison. You are still a member of the public, you are still a member of society. The vote has nothing to do with the actual punishment.”

Steady Eddie has Everything!

EDDIE Tremayne’s superb portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, gained him the Best Actor prize at Sunday’s Bafta Film Awards.

Redmayne, a certainty to win an Oscar for his interpretation, said: “It is one of the best nights of my life. I have poured his heart into my role of Professor Hawking.”

The film was also named Outstanding British Film and won a third award for its adapted screenplay.

Coming-of-age drama Boyhood, shot over 12 years with the same cast, was named Best Film, with Richard Linklater picking up best director prize.

Patricia Arquette also won the Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film.

Julianne Moore won the Leading Actress prize for her performance as a linguistics professor with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

As she collected the award, she thanked “everybody in the Alzheimer’s community who were so generous with their time and telling me their experiences”.

Wes Anderson’s quirky comedy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, dominated precedings with five awards - costume design, production design, make-up and original music; with Anderson winning his first Bafta for original screenplay.

Jazz-drumming drama Whiplash also took three awards - for ed-

iting, sound and supporting actor for JK Simmons, who thanked director Damien Chazelle for “the gift of this character”.

Despite its nine nominations,The Imitation Game, a World War Two drama with Benedict Cumberbatch as codebreaker Alan Turing, won nothing

Redmayne, favourite to win Best Actor award, arrived on stage to roars of approval from the star-packed audience.

He said of the Hawking family: “I want to thank them for their trust, their generosity and their kindness.

“And for reminding me of the great strength

that comes from having the will to live a full and passionate life.”

Producer Eric Fellner gave “heartfelt thanks” to Professor Hawking and Jane Wilde Hawking, of whose book the film was based: “I hope you all feel we’ve done you proud.”

Prof Hawking had earlier appeared on stage

to present the award for special visual effects, alongside leading actress nominee Felicity Jones, which went to Christopher Nolan ‘s sci-fi epic Interstellar.

Jones joked that she was with the “only person on the planet more intelligent than Stephen Fry”. Prof Hawking,to huge applause, responded: “Yes, and better looking.”

The Baftas deliver any major surprises, but they do set up an exciting battle for the Oscars in two weeks.

Will Boyhood repeat its British success and go on to take best picture in Hollywood?

For the past six years, the Best Film winner chosen by British Academy voters has gone on to win an Oscar. Last year it was 12 Years a Slave, and before that The Artist, The King’s Speech, The Hurt Locker and Slumdog Millionaire.

But the Baftas are international awards with a local twist and only some 20% of the US Academy is made up of Brits.

Birdman has won just a single Bafta for cinematography, but last weekend it took the top prize at the Director Guild Awards in the US, And that has proved a reliable indicator of Oscar success.

Sam hits the jackpot SAM SMITH, the most unlikeliest of singers, turned the form book upside down by winning four Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

The British soul singer picked up his prestigious prizes for record and song of the year, best new artist and best pop vocal artist.

He was the only solo artist to sell more than a million albums in both the UK and US in 2014.

And Sam confirmed his place as one of pop’s biggest stars, just nine months after the release of his debut album, In the Lonely Hour.

His ballad Stay With Me won both song of the year and record of the year - the former recognising the songwriter, and the latter acknowledging both performer and producer.

Proud Sam, accepting the record of the year trophy, said: “I want to thank the man who this

record is about, who I fell in love with last year.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.”

He also performed his

hit song on stage with Mary J Blige, but he lost out on the best album award to long-serving indie troubadour Beck, who was honoured for his 12th studio record-

ing of Morning Phase, which also won best rock album.

“We made this record at my house for the most part, so I would like to thank my kids for

letting me keep them awake a little bit longer,” said Beck.

Pharrell Williams, Beyonce and Rosanne Cash, daughter of country legend Johnny, each won three awards.

Other British winners included Clean Bandit with Jess Glynne and Aphex Twin.

Sir Paul McCartney who joined Kanye West and Rihanna on stage, said earlier: “Before I made this record, I was doing everything to try to get my music heard. I tried to lose weight and I was making awful music. It was when I started to be myself that the music flowed.”

Pharrell’s Girl won best urban contemporary album, while Happy won best music video and best pop solo performance. Pharrell Williams performed that hit on the night with pianist Lang Lang and composer Hans Zimmer.

Drunk In Love, Beyonce’s collaboration with her husband, JayZ, was named best R&B

performance and best R&B song. Beyonce also won best surround sound album.

The other triple winner, Rosanne Cash, picked up the best American roots performance and song awards for A Feather’s Not A Bird and best Americana album.

Among the British artists, Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne won best dance recording, while Aphex Twin won best dance/electronic album for Syro - his first album in 13 years.

Ed Sheeran, who had three nominations but went home emptyhanded, joined ELO’s Jeff Lynne on stage to perform.

Madonna was joined by half-naked male dancers wearing glittering masks and horns to perform Living For Love, from her new Rebel Heart album.

There were also duets between Jessie J and Sir Tom Jones; Hozier and Annie Lennox, plus Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett.

Smart attempt to manage diabetes S O - C A LL E D “smart” insulins, which are undergoing tests, could revolutionise the way diabetes is managed.

Instead of repeated blood tests and injections throughout the day to keep blood sugar in check, a single dose of smart insulin would keep circulating in the body and turn on

when needed. Animal studies show the technology appears to work - at least in mice. Now, scientists plan to move to human trials soon, according to the PNAS journal.

But experts warn that it will take years of testing before treatments could become a reality for patients.

People with Type 1 diabetes, who either do not make or cannot use their own natural insulin, rely on insulin

injections to stay well.

Without these, their blood sugar would get dangerously high.

But injecting insulin can also make blood sugar levels dip too low, and people with Type 1 diabetes must check their blood glucose levels regularly to ensure they are in the right zone.

Diabetes experts have been searching for ways to make blood sugar control easier and more convenient

for patients, which is where “smart” insulins come in.

There are a few different types in development, but all are designed to activate automatically when blood sugar gets too high, and switch off when it returns to normal.

Danny Chou, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been testing a smart insulin that he and his colleagues developed in their lab.

It is a chemicallymodified version of regular, long-acting insulin. It has an extra set of molecules stuck on the end that binds it to proteins which circulate in the bloodstream.

While it is attached to these, the smart insulin is in its switchedoff mode. When blood sugar rises, the smart insulin switches on.

Glucose locks on to the smart insulin and tells it to get to work.

Wow! The picture’s worth a good look THE incredibly-expensive painting of two Tahitian girls, by French artist Paul Gauguin, has been sold for more than 200m euros.

It really is mindbogging because that makes it the most expensive work of art ever sold.

Nafea Faa Ipoipo - or When Will You Marry? was painted in 1892 and had been owned by a Swiss collector. Unconfirmed reports suggest it was sold to a museum in Qatar.

The small, oil-rich state paid the previous highest price for a painting - a work by Paul Cezanne - which sold for a reported £158m.

The Gauguin artwork was owned by Basel collector Rudolf Staechelin. It had been on loan to the Kunstmuseum Basel for decades. But Mr Staechelin decided to sell the painting after a disagreement with the museum.

Qatar officials have not yet confirmed the purchase, but Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al-Thani, a former minister of culture who died last year, lavished more than a billion dollars of the country’s money on artworks.

Dr Chou said: “My goal is to make life easier and safer for diabetics, and this is an important advance in insulin therapy.”

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has been funding work into smart insulins, and Karen Addington, chief executive of JDRF in the UK, said: “For many people living with Type 1 diabetes, achieving good blood glucose control is a daily battle.

“Taking too much insulin can drive someone’s glucose levels too low, leading to a ‘hypo’, while taking too little means glucose levels rise too high, which can have a serious cumulative health impact in the long term.

“A smart insulin would eliminate hypos, which are what many with Type 1 diabetes hate most. It would enable people with Type 1 diabetes to achieve near-perfect glucose control, all from a single injection per day or even per week. And that’s really exciting.”

Dr Richard Elliott of Diabetes UK, said: “Years of further research and clinical trials will be needed to find out if a similar drug could be used safely and effectively by people with diabetes.”

There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. In Type 1, which accounts for about 10% of diabetics, the body’s immune system destroys the cells that make insulin Type 2 diabetes is when the body either cannot make enough insulin, or the body’s cells do not react to it Insulin treatment is always needed for Type 1 diabetes, but if you have Type 2, you may be able to control your symptoms by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and monitoring your blood sugar.

The great chocolate divide BRITISH chocolate aficionados in America will soon have trouble finding the “proper” Cadbury chocolate - the real thing!

Hershay, which manufacturers it, and many other British confectioneries in the US, says it creates “brand confusion” with its products.

Dympna Madeley, manager of the British Gift Shoppe in Santa Monica, California, said: “I wouldn’t give it to my worst enemy. American Cadbury chocolate is definitely not the same quality.

“It’s not the same taste as English Cadbury chocolate. It’s not the same quality, same consistency, and it doesn’t have the same shelf life.

It’s an inferior product.”

Ms Madeley has urged her customers to join a boycott of Hershey and to sign online petitions persuading the company to reconsider.

The taste of Cadbury’s chocolate varies around

the world. In the UK, the first ingredient in a classic Dairy Milk bar is milk. In the US, where Hershey has the licence to make and sell all Cadbury products, sugar is the first ingredient.

But Ms Madeley says her customers wouldn’t buy the US kind, even if she stocked it.

Thousands of Cadbury lovers in small shops across the States, and on social media, have been urging Hershey to allow them legal access to their favourite British treats.

Some have even called for a Boston Tea Partytype protest with plots to throw “inferior” chocolates into the nearest river or sea.

Soon, though, the US recipe may be their only choice.

Hershey sued LBB Imports, which used to be known as “Let’s Buy British Imports”, for trademark infringement, arguing that Toffee Crisp’s orange packaging is too similar to Reese’s peanut butter cups, and that Yorkie bars are too confusing to people looking for

York Peppermint Patties. Hershey has the US rights to sell York, Cadbury, Kit Kat and Rolo trademarks, as well as Maltesers, which are everyone’s favourite.

The lawsuit was settled after LBB Imports agreed to stop importing the disputed products.

The LBB President, Nathan Dulley, esti-

mates that British chocolate, worth some £30m, is sold in the States each year.

Mr Dulley agrees that Hershey’s case has merit, but he feels the Pennsylvania-based company should allow the small amount of imports for the expatriate market.

“We did attempt to make an agreement because these decisions

affect small businesses across the country,” he said. “Both businesses should be able to coexist.”

Hershey executives say they want to protect their intellectual property and that they’d asked LBB repeatedly to stop importing the disputed chocolates.

More than 30,000 people have signed the online petitions in protest,

and chocolate-lovers are milking the spat online to condemn what they feel are chemicalladen, inferior Hershey products.

Ms Madeley says it will really hurt business, especially during Christmas and Easter.

“There will be no real Cadbury chocolates in the Easter baskets,” she said. “Children will be crying in the streets.”

By Laura Mann SAVERS over 55 from April will be able to access their UK pensions with complete freedom, instead of being forced, to convert their savings into an annual income.

Despite the Government, they will be able to take out as much as they like, as often as required.

Historically, savers with non-final salary pensions -with pots of money invested in the stock market, for instance - have bought annuities.

This turned a pension into a regular income which lasted a lifetime.

A small number of wealthier savers were able to avoid annuities and use “income drawdown”, where the

13th February - 19th February 2015

reforms for UK pensions money remained invested and an income was taken.

However, a cap on withdrawals applied for all but the wealthiest, who had £20,000 annual incomes from other pensions.

From this April, savers have three main choices: withdrawal of all their pension money immediately; leave it invested and take income when required; or buy an annuity.

Withdrawals will be liable for income tax, although those who have already bought annuities are excluded from the freedoms.

Since last year’s March Budget, the British Government has been in consultation over how the new pension system should work.

Its conclusions, published on 29th Septem-

ber, contained several key clarifications.

1. Final-salary pension schemes Ministers contem-

plated a ban on savers transferring final-salary pensions to other schemes that would pay out the entirety as cash lump-sums.

The Treasury feared that a rush of transfers would have a detrimental impact on some schemes, which might have put at risk the businesses and members who stayed behind.

However, in its update, the Government confirmed transfers out of private-sector, final-salary schemes will still be permitted after 2015.

Anyone transferring more than £30,000 will need to take independent financial advice.

There will be a consultation on allowing savers to withdraw money directly, removing the need for a transfer.

But the vast majority of public-sector workers will be blocked from transferring their generous pensions.

2. Death tax rate Currently, money inside a pension which has been accessed can be passed on to beneficiaries, less tax of 55%, when a pensioner dies. This applies to the drawdown policies held by around 400,000 people.

With millions expected to use drawdown in

future, this tax rate is deemed too high. If it remained, it would encourage people to pull money out of pensions, even if this option were inappropriate.

So in the autumn, the Government will announce a reduction to the 55% rate, expected to be down to 45% and enabling families to pass on more of their wealth.

3. Rising personal pension age An increase in the age at which savers can access their personal pensions has been mooted in the Budget.

This will rise from 55 to 57 in 2028, and then stay 10 years below the official state pension age, it was confirmed on Monday.

Those born after 5th March 1971 will be unable to access pension money until they’re 57. Those under 40 will probably have to wait until they are 58.

Younger workers may not be eligible for a state pension until they’re70, and will have to wait until they reach 60 to access private pensions.

4. New annuities New rules will permit the creation of “super annuities”, which are much more flexible than the current deals.

Pensioners could be

allowed to withdraw lump-sums from annuities, or take a larger income in the early years of retirement.

And pension firms will be able to provide more generous death benefits. Currently, many single-person annuities include a 10-year “guarantee period” which ensures that, should the policy-holder die early, an income is paid to a spouse for the remainder of the period.

In future, annuities could be designed with lifelong guarantees.

Pension providers may also have the freedom to hand back smaller annuities - perhaps worth less than £30,000 - as lump-sums, rather than continuing to make regular payments to beneficiaries.

5. Guidance Last March, Mr Osborne promised free, impartial help for savers mulling over how to use the new freedoms. But it was unclear which organisations would give this guidance, and many feared the pensions’ industry might hijack the process, surreptitiously pushing products on customers who thought they were getting free help.

The Government has decided that every saver will be entitled to obtain guidance, at no cost, from either the Pensions Advisory Service or the Money Advice Service.

These two organisations are linked to the Government and do not sell products. The help will be basic, running through customers’ options.

For tailored advice, savers will still need to pay for an independent, financial adviser. This will still be the case for those of us who have retired, or are about to retire overseas.

Italy Unpacked BBC2, 21:00

Andrew GrahamDixon and Giorgio Locatelli explore the culture and cuisine of Italy, travelling from the tip of the heel up Italy’s dramatic east coast. Their journey starts in the instep of Italy and the region of Basilicata. Its most famous town is the spectacular Matera, also known as Sassi (or ‘stones’) after its caves inhabited since Palaeolithic times, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. There, Giorgio cooks a peasant recipe of mutton pignata in a restored cave.

Next is the south eastern tip of the Italian peninsula, and Puglia - a generous, rich land with year-long sunny weather surrounded by azure sea. Staying off the tourist track they visit the baroque gem that is the town of Lecce, before moving on to the trulli of Alberobello and a unique Greek vase in the little town of Ruvo. They discover southern Italy is no stereotypical sleepy backwater, but a place where the younger generation are going back to their roots and rediscovering traditions.

Planet’s Got Talent ITV1, 19.30 Planet’s Got Talent is back with Warwick Davis at the helm to guide us through the world’s biggest talent show phenomenon.

An action-packed episode in which Ant and Dec are replaced by two Chinese robots, a stateside granny busts some rhymes, a human Ken doll in Russia leaves us utterly baffled, and we receive a terrifying lesson in self-defence, Nigerian style.

Also watch out for a Dawn French cameo, as she fears impregnation from an obscene Australian dancer.

Simon Rattle: The Making of a Maestro BBC2, 21:05

In the first television biography of the celebrated conductor Sir Simon Rattle for 15 years, this documentary provides unique insights into the working life of one of the world’s most acclaimed musicians. To mark his 60th birthday, we follow Rattle through a demanding year of rehearsals and performances with five different orchestras, from the South Bank to Taiwan, as he talks candidly about his life and beliefs. Through the lens of archive footage we explore a remarkable journey spanning four decades, from his early days with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at the tender age of 22 to his current post as chief conductor and artistic director of the Berlin Philharmonic.

There are contributions from artists and friends who have worked closely with him including violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, composer Thomas Adès, singers Roderick Williams.

Super Cute Animals BBC1, 18.00

There are all sorts of incredible species of animal in the word, but there are a few that we think are special our animal favourites. We love them for the way they look; their big eyes or furry faces, but we also fall for the sounds they make and the way they move - who doesn’t love a waddling penguin?

Gordon Buchanan has dedicated his life to filming wildlife. He wants to understand why we have such a strong emotional response to these particular species; why have more than 200 million people viewed a baby panda sneezing, or why has a squeaking frog got over 11 million internet hits?

By travelling to meet these super cute animals for the BBC’s Natural History Unit, Gordon will reveal why every feature we love so much is a secret survival strategy. The Giant Panda’s beautiful markings set it apart, but it’s that big round oversized head that makes it so unusual.

Although we find the teddy bear look incredibly appealing, for the panda, the size of its head tells the story of millions of years of evolution and survival.

And the panda’s big round head isn’t the only loveable feature with a secret biology. Gordon meets the Fennec fox, the smallest fox with the biggest ears which are actually crucial to the Fennec’s survival out in the Sahara.

He travels to Kenya to meet young elephants learning how to perfect their trunk skills and discovers the surprising secret behind a penguin’s comic waddle. He hangs out with Eli, a five year old chimpanzee whose giggle can tell us new information about our own evolution, and discovers just why snoring can help a tiny hummingbird conserve enough energy to make it through the night.

Because for the animals, every feature we love so much, be it a furry head, a wonderful waddle, or a sweet little snore, is fundamental to their survival.

In the first episode of the new series, boss Roger drops a bombshell on his staff by announcing the replacement of his long-standing manager, with an auction house novice. And as goods come flooding through the door for the week’s sale, the valuers take in two particularly eye-catching items: a pair of opulent four-poster designer dog beds that are ideal for Chelsea’s pampered pooches and cost over £1000 each.

Call The Midwife BBC1, 20.00

Sister Julienne questions the nature of absolute faith when she meets a Christian Scientist couple who refuse medicine for their newborn baby.

Things become more complex when the parents are accused of harming their child and Dr Turner’s involvement in the case forces him to face his own demons.

Barbara uses her initiative to try and communicate with a pregnant Sylheti woman who cannot speak English. It soon becomes clear to the midwives that using the woman’s young son to translate comes with a whole new set of problems.

Elsewhere, Sister Mary Cynthia (pictured) returns and Fred meets a woman who catches his eye.

Mr Selfridge ITV1, 21.00

Harry and Nancy bring the injured Kitty to hospital, whilst Frank rushes to be by her side. Shaken by the evening’s events, Harry abandons his theatre plans and takes Nancy to dinner instead. Harry queries why she’s not married and Nancy confidently replies that she’s yet to find the right person. Harry toasts to friendship but it’s clear that he’s falling under her spell. It’s after dark and Colleano’s is buzzing. A seductive Violette makes her move on Victor, making it clear that she’s only after some uncomplicated fun. As things get hot under the collar, George interrupts and Victor: if he plays with fire he might get burnt… Recuperating at home, Kitty struggles to relay the detail of her attack to Inspector Johnson, and Frank’s horror is evident when he realises that the attackers must have been the ex-servicemen who were drinking with him immediately prior to the attack.

In a terrible dilemma, Frank can’t bring himself to say anything. In a limp attempt to quell any future comeback against himself, he warns Kitty that she needs to be careful seeking justice; the issues surrounding ex-servicemen is political hot potato in the press at the moment. But Kitty insists that her assailants are going to pay for what they’ve done. A lonely and tortured Henri arrives outside Harry’s house to apologise for destroying window display. Henri admits that he doesn’t trust himself anymore and even Agnes is scared of him. Harry realises the extent of Henri’s survivors’guilt and post-traumatic stress disorder, imploring him to confide in Agnes. Routinely investigating Kitty’s attack, the police pay Victor a visit and he defends his innocence. However, he is left on the back-foot when Elsa reveals that they might be culpable: she served some ex-servicemen drink out of hours…with Frank. Victor pays a house call to Frank and Kitty, where Frank is forced to admit his very accidental complicity in his own wife’s attack. Kitty is appalled. Later, Kitty successfully identifies her attackers. They are arrested and put behind bars, but Kitty still struggles to forgive Frank.

Vic And Bob’s House Of Fools

13th February - 19th February 2015

M onday

BBC2, 22.00

Vic and Bob’s critically acclaimed comedy returns for a second series, bursting at the scenes with slapstick fun and jokes once again.

Set in Bob’s home, the show once again stars larger than life lothario Beef (Matt Berry) alongside Vic’s brother Bosh (Dan Skinner) and Bob’s sulky son Eric (Daniel Simonsen) while their eccentric neighbour, Julie (Morgana Robinson) starts the new series by opening a bistro.

In tonight’s opener, Bob feels it is high time his 23- year-old son learns about the ‘birds and the biscuits’ and with Vic and Beef’s help arranges a blind date for Erik at Julie’s Bistro.

With their band’s debut gig also due to take place at Julie’s that night, Vic and Bob are having musical differences. Will Beef’s cunning plan save the day?

Despite Erik’s problems in selecting an appropriate outfit for his big night out, his date with Rachel (played by new regular cast member Ellie White) goes surprisingly well. Has Erik finally met his match?

More Tales from Northumberland with Robson Green ITV1, 20.00 In this first episode, Robson Green discovers some of Northumberland’s best-kept secrets. He heads out into the North Sea in search of white-beaked dolphins, visits the home of Victorian inventor Lord Armstrong, and joins the secret skinny-dippers of Druridge Bay for a very cold naked swim at sunrise. Robson’s journey into hidden Northumberland starts by the sea. He says: “With more than a 100 miles of coastline, Northumberland’s destiny has always been shaped and defined by the sea.”

Robson heads to one of the deepest parts of the North Sea in search of white-beaked dolphins, hoping to learn more about these fascinating but elusive sea mammals.

Ben Burville, a local GP with a big passion for marine biology, takes Robson out in search of the dolphins.

Having reached their target area, it’s a long wait to catch a glimpse of the dolphins. When they finally make an appearance, Robson is thrilled, saying : “Ten to fifteen dolphins have just surrounded the boat and are now putting on one of the best displays you’ll ever see. Wow, what a sight. They’re strong, powerful swimmers and love swimming in the waves at the bow of the boat. Nobody knows exactly why they do it, but it’s probably just because it’s fun!”

Next, Robson visits Cragside, once the pioneering home of Victorian inventor Lord Armstrong and the first house in the world to be powered by hydroelectricity.

UKIP: The First 100 Days Channel 4, 21:00

This groundbreaking and provocative one-off fictional d o c u m e n t a r y, from the producers of Cyberbully and Blackout, is set in a fabricated future where Ukip have won a shock victory in the 2015 general election, and Nigel Farage is Prime Minister of Britain. The film follows the path of a newly elected MP, Deepa Kaur, Ukip’s only female Asian MP, as she tries to navigate frontline politics during her first 100 days in office.

Deepa settles into the role and works to fulfil Ukip’s promises to create a new Britain, remove Britain from Europe and introduce a new crackdown on illegal immigration. Deepa is drawn closer and closer to the centre of power, but her ambition for high office puts her on a collision course with some of her most deeply held convictions.

Inside The Commons BBC2, 21.00

In the third episode we see how the traditional threeparty system appears to be falling apart at the seams.

Backbench MPs are becoming increasingly rebellious as they confront the dark arts of the Whips - the shadowy figures who seek to impose party discipline.

We follow Lib-Dem MP Jenny Willott as she seeks to balance new parenthood with politics. And we also follow the clockmakers whose job it is to ensure that all the Commons’ two thousand clocks - from Big Ben downwards - tell exactly the same time. We also see UKIP enter Parliament for the first time.

Presented by award winning reporter Michael Cockerell, this four-part documentary series produced by multi-Bafta winning Atlantic Productions is filmed with unprecedented access to the House of Commons.

It provides a rare glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of Westminster. Revealing the heart of our democracy like never before, Inside the Commons asks if Parliament is fit for purpose in the 21st century.

Wolf Hall - Crows BBC2, 21.00

The Act of Supremacy has declared Henry Supreme Head of the Church in England. But the Holy Roman Emperor and his ambassador Eustache Chapuys have refused to recognise either his new title or his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

Cromwell visits Katherine. She is growing frail and tired and she longs to see her daughter Mary. Cromwell pities Katherine and tries to persuade the King to allow Chapuys to visit her, but Henry refuses – until the Emperor acknowledges Anne as his lawful wife, Henry will not make any allowances on diplomacy.

With Anne pregnant again and away from court, Henry begins to take notice of Jane Seymour. The Seymours enlist Cromwell’s help in their dealings with the King.

Anne is aware that Cromwell is conspiring with the Seymours and reminds him that she made Cromwell who he is today. When Katherine dies, Anne celebrates - Katherine had always been blamed for Anne’s failure to produce a male heir and Anne is now certain her pregnancy will deliver a boy.

The King takes part in a jousting tournament and is nearly killed. Cromwell becomes acutely aware that he owes his position solely to Henry and that without the King’s support his enemies would destroy him. Mercifully Henry makes a full recovery but, in the shock at the news of his fall, Anne miscarries.

Henry fears that he will never have a son with Anne, convinced that she is cursed and that he was tricked into marriage by her.

He wants a new wife and, as ever, Cromwell is tasked with delivering this.

Exposure: Charities Behaving Badly ITV1, 22.40

“You don’t know who Anwar alAwlaki is? He’s a scholar, and basically he was imprisoned, and after he came out of prison he started to incite hatred and telling the Western Muslims to bomb. He incited bombings, basically. Bruv, he was a brilliant guy though.” - charity worker Shafiq This new documentary in the Exposure current affairs strand goes undercover to reveal race hatred, religious bigotry, and extreme right wing activism in registered charities.

Produced by Hardcash, who made the acclaimed Banaz: An Honour Killing and Britain’s Secret Slaves for ITV, this programme examines whether some charities are promoting extremism - and finds shocking evidence of racism and admiration for terrorism.

In an undercover investigation lasting almost a year, three reporters filmed in three different registered charities.

Reinventing The Royals BBC2, 21.00

The programme begins in 1997 with the tragic death of Princess Diana. This terrible event turned public opinion initially against the Royal family but then came to focus decisively on the press.

The press, blamed for their part in Diana’s death and the years of highly intrusive behaviour that preceded it, had to act quickly. An emergency meeting of newspaper editors was called and the rules of royal reporting were changed for ever.

Prince Charles’s public image was at an all-time low, portrayed in sections of the media as an unloving husband and a bad father.

To help rebuild his image Prince Charles had already hired a new type of royal press advisor – a spin doctor - Mark Bolland. The contrast with the traditional royal approach to the press - “never complain never explain” – could not have been more pronounced. With press contacts at every level Bolland was a man who was ready to engage with the media.

Although Bolland’s work was effective outside the palace, his methods were not popular amongst other royals and courtiers. When he left in 2002 it brought to an end a period of spin never to be repeated and the relationship between the media and the monarchy was back on more

ITV2, 22.30 The series will be hosted by Stephen Mulhern, who will be bringing his mischievously cheeky humour to proceedings. Joined by team captains Emma Willis and award-winning comedian Joel Dommett, Reality Bites will jump head first into the amazing world of reality TV. Each week our team captains are joined by a host of celebrities, TV stars and surprise guests as Stephen puts the teams through their paces – the teams will have to tackle rounds such as: The Real World, where teams watch clips from foreign reality shows and have to work out what on earth the show is all about; Where The Hell Am I?, where a member of each team is blindfolded and challenged to identify a well-known reality show and reality star by using touch alone; Big Fact Hunt, where the teams have to guess whether a series of facts Stephen has uncovered about a different star each week are true or false. These will be confirmed by the star themselves… live in the studio.

It’s the show that embraces the outrageous world of reality TV like no other with shocking clips, hilarious games and more cameos from reality stars, past and present, than you can shake a remote control at.

Also, on the 16th, there is the Matar la Culebra’ritual,which must be seen to be believed. The annual Kill The Snake event is a reenactment of a tradition celebrated during the early years of the carnival. It was imported to the islands by Cuban immigrants in the late 19th century. And the custom, lost in the first half of the 20th century, has been resurrected. The ritual celebrates the last stronghold of a tradition of AfroCuban origin. It showcases music, dance and stage performances. And, of course, the odd snake.

Paul’s ‘magic’ show THE power of hypnosis … what a curious thing.

It’s the ability to remove one’s inhibitions, addictions and fear, using nothing more than soothing words and our own wondrous minds.

When I was growing up, the word “hypnotist” conjured images of swirling circles, tall hats and flames, confusing it more. Perhaps, with the trade of a magician.

Now, though, older and wiser (well, slightly), I know better. But when I see these skilled technicians of the mind at work. there is still part of me that can only put what I’m seeing down to magic!

Hypnosis 10 years ago, for the majority of us, would have been considered a show - entertainment on the cruise ships and the telly.

Now, though, it is emerging that it can also help people who suffer from addiction

or phobias to rid themselves of their burdens.

Paul Hazell is relatively new to the Island, but he has been causing quite a stir over the past year with his hilarious show. He is a qualified hypnotist and, after only months over here, he was nominated for Best Variety Act at the Tenerife Entertainment Awards.

He has gone on since then to become one of the most sought-after acts in Tenerife. Paul has a show like no other I´ve seen. Tailored to any audience, it is clean, family fun.

His volunteers on

stage are completely entranced and it is fascinating to watch, proving Paul deserves his reputation as one of the best in the business.

But he goes beyond the call of duty where his abilities are concerned. Fear of flying is among the most common of phobias, and sufferers rely mainly on drugs or, quite simply, not flying to avoid discomfort. A young man from England, though, Scott Winson has taken another approach.

In the past, Scott was a frequent flyer.

But one day, just before take-off on his way home from Tenerife, he was struck with overwhelming terror and, from then on, was unable to fly … until now.

Under hypnosis and guided by Paul´s words of wisdom, Scott has been able to relinquish all feelings of fear when it comes to taking to the skies.

Not only is he now able to go on holiday with ease but has more recently embarked on a journey to become a fully licensed pilot.

So it seems, that for

“Kanye Pest” KANYE West is hailed as one of the most talented hiphop stars in the industry. Words like “genius” and “masterful” are used in reviews of his albums and production skills.

Personally, it is praise I don´t understand, yet totally respect because hip-hop - though I love it - is not my area of expertise.

Kanye became extremely unpopular after interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009

VMA´s, arguing that Beyoncè should have won.

The fans were so unhappy with Kanye that he spent the next year in what seemed like exile in Japan and then Rome, before finally returning to America.

So this year at the Grammys, for some bizarre, totally idiotic reason, he got up on stage to protest at the announcement that Beck had won best album.

He said afterwards: “Beck needs to respect artistry,” then went on to insult the fans by saying: “This is what happens when you

keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft.”

This guy blurs the line between genius and moron so effortlessly and it is he who is “not respecting the craft”.

To attack an accomplished and humble artist like Beck just makes him look cheap and petty, with quotes like “it´s disrespectful to inspiration” and “my whole world collapsed after a moment of sincerity, or alcohol, or whatever it was”.

Grow up Kanye. Focus on your own music and less on others, and make 2015 a year of redemption.

this young man, Paul Hazell has quite literally given him his wings.

Removal of fear and phobia through disciplining our minds is remarkable enough, but clinical hypnotherapists nowadays are becoming more and more popular all over the world in aiding others with pain relief.

Surely, the most infamous of pains is during the birth of a child?

A time where women experience paralysing cramps which, it is said, no man will ever be able to understand.

Imagine, then, if you had a life-long fear of needles and gas and air. Louise Walker from Hull, paid Paul a visit before the birth of her

child and asked for him to be involved.

Although it is extremely unusual for a hypnotherapist to treat a mother during labour, Paul agreed.

Six hours into labour and some time after first meeting, Louise called upon his services. The birthing pool at the hospital had done little to relieve her of any pain, and the midwife could offer no comfort. Then, equipped with just a calming voice and positive temperament, Paul walked in and hypnotised Louise. Her pain vanished.

Four hours later, Louise gave birth to her first child without the help of any painrelieving drugs. “I am

the biggest sceptic,” she said. “I thought I would need every pain relief going, and was amazed when I needed none at all.”

Paul, who trained as a hpnotherapist to help manage his own pain after an industrial accident 14 years ago, said he was “delighted to have been of service”, adding: “I said I would help her, and I didn’t want to let her down.”

Paul was telling me this incredible story after finishing a show the other evening. He is an intriguing character with a rare talent. But you don´t have to want to be a pilot or to be in labour to experience a little bit of the magic this man has to offer,

Not so hard to swallow!

By Val Sainsbury MANY a woman has watched in disbelief as her partner gulps down his dinner in minutes.

Now, curiously, Korean researchers believe they have discovered why men and women actually chew differently.

Men take larger, more powerful bites, meaning they finish eating more quickly, while women chew each individual mouthful more times and take longer to finish eating. The researchers recruited 24 male and 24 female undergraduates from the Semyung University in South Korea, where they are based.

To analyse each indi-

By Sue McDonald CURTAINS are a large part of any decorating scheme because they set the style of your homo, and also form a large block of colour or pattern in the room.

In the UK, the primary role of curtains is to keep the cold out and

vidual’s chewing pattern, they hooked electrodes up to their jaws and fed them 152g of boiled white rice,.

They documented the size of people’s bites, total chewing time per mouthful of food, total number of chews and how long it took the person to eat the entire meal. And they

discovered a large variation between men and women.

Though women were found to have the same chewing pace as men, they chewed each mouthful more times, slowing down the total time it took them to eat their meal.

The study, published in the Physiology and

Behaviour journal, flies in the face of an earlier study, That was conducted by researchers at Nippon Dental University’s Department of Partial and Complete Denture, in Tokyo, who maintained there was no difference in how the sexes chewed gum.

Cary Cooper, Profes-

sor of Organisational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University, said there was not only a difference in how the sexes chew, but also between different types of people.

People with “Type A” personalities - typically fast-moving, impatient and ambitious people tend to eat quickly.

Conversely, “Type B” characters, who are generally more laid-back, and approach things at a slower pace, will relish their meals. Professor Cooper’s observation comes after actress and model Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that during her twenties, she followed a macrobiotic diet, during which chewed her food at least 50 times per swallow.

This was thought to aid digestion, and means the stomach sends signals to the brain indicating that it is satisfied, making a

person feel fuller sooner, and eat fewer calories overall.

On average, we are said to chew 800 to 1,400 times a day.

But Dr Nick Read, chief medical adviser for charity group IBS Network, said a change in our diet means we don’t need to chew as often as in the past.

“The Victorians thought you needed to chew food 14 times, but we generally wait until it feels right and then swallow,” he said. “It’s intuitive.”

But because our diet has become softer, thanks to processed food, we now don’t need to chew for so long.

However, raw fruit, vegetables, and meat demand more chewing.

Dr Read added: “If you don’t, then lumps of food will pass through your digestive system and not be completely absorbed.”

Suncurtains an open open-and-shut case!

the heat in. And with the price of heating back there, it’s definitely a worthwhile investment.

That’s why a lot of curtains in the UK are lined, and swags and tails are draped to provide insulation around the frame.

Here in Tenerife, our usually-fabulous weather means we have the opposite problem! We want the windows to look nice, but we need to keep the heat out!

Suncurtains have been around for years because of the sunshine

and heat. However, they have now been developed so they bear no relation to the plastic, silver-coloured ones of years ago, which were ugly.

We used to combine them with a second curtain or voile to disguise them. Suncurtains now come in material form, with a blackout layer in the middle, and in a huge range of vibrant, exciting colours.

They look so good that they can be used on their own to keep costs down, or combined with another curtain or voile to create a luxurious effect.

Apart from the obvi-

ous use of dressing the window, and keeping the sun and heat out, suncurtains also have the added advantage of preventing furniture and floors from fading. And they are ideal for people who leave their properties locked up for weeks or even months.

And if you close them before you go out, you won´t come back to a room like a sauna!

The bedroom is one area where suncurtain is a real asset. If you are on holiday and want a lie-in or a siesta, suncurtain will ensure your bedroom stays cool and dark at any time of day.

This is also a real bonus when trying to get small children to bed when it´s still light outside, or encouraging the little darlings to stay in bed later in the morning.

To work efficiently, of course, the curtains need to fit the window properly. Window dressings need a sense of proportion and look better when fitted midway between the top of the frame and the ceiling.

And a good overlap is needed to ensure light doesn’t enter around the sides of the curtain.

Ready-made curtains are available, naturally, but made-to-measure curtains are not as expensive as you might think.

You can choose a combination of colours and styles to suit your personal taste, the style of the room, and to provide a practical solution to light and heat control.

All of the above is available from Deco Nuevo; just give us a call on 922 789 729.

So much more to enjoy in Tenerife

By Vanessa Vee WELCOME to my new fortnightly page where I will give you an insight to some of the wonderful places you can travel to, directly from Tenerife.

It is quite awkward for us, living on an island, or as some put it, “A rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean”.

However, life is too short not to discover this wonderful world in which we live, or, as someone once said: “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

We are fortunate to have two fantastic airports here in Tenerife, and we are also supported by two interisland ferry companies, all of which offer a resident’s discount to those holding the correct paperwork if travelling within Spanish territory, and even closer to home - don´t forget the fabulous bus service.

We also have a huge influx of cruise liners into Santa Cruz port, but, unfortunately for us residents, it is not as simple as embarking and disembarking as we would wish.

And currently, even though the majority of international cruise companies do dock here, there is only a handful from which we can embark or disembark here in Tenerife.

So for this first edition, we’re looking at travelling right here. Don’t try to kid me that you have been everywhere on this Island because there is so much to discover here. I just wish I had the time to stay away from work and home so I could explore.

The beauty of Tenerife is that if you need a quick escape, a trip to the North, namely Puerto de la Cruz, seems like a mini-break to another country.

It’s a real trip back in time with the original Tenerife holiday resorts´ historic tales, grand hotels and, usu-

Your HAIR CHAMELEONS

By Carl from Robot

THERE comes a time in everyone’s life - be you twenty-something or sixty- something - when you reach a moment in your “lifestyle” that you just have to move on.

ally, an alternative climate, Puerto de la Cruz can deliver a combination of true Canarian culture and charm. You can live the lifestyle, coupled with all the facilities of a holiday resort.

Puerto is a complete contrast to the purpose-built resorts of the South and West of Tenerife.

Cobbles, traditional restaurants and cafes are popular trademarks of this former fishing village, where life still revolves around the picturesque harbour, as well as the fantastic lido.

As I’ve already said, Puerto features a completely different climate and is often, to the shock of those who have only ever visited the South, described as GREEN! With many local attractions, some ticketed, and some free, there is always something going on, but to sit by the lido and watch the world pass you by is an absolute treat.

With many hotels, now a little tired and usually reflected in the price, still tend to provide the quality, high-standard service. really old school!

One gentleman who sticks out in my mind used to be the receptionist in the Martianez. How I loved

that hotel and have so many great memories of our short breaks in Puerto, whether it be with friends, Christmas, birthdays or romantic.

I loved this hotel. It was stuck in a Sixties’ time warp, but the service was impeccable.

So it was a joy to bump into him working at the H10 Bahia Principe just a few years ago. But alas, no more Martianez, so I won´t dwell on it.

Instead, let’s have a look at what is on offer now. From one-key dwellings to five-star luxury spas, there is something to suit all budgets.

From room-only, self-catering and right through to all-inclusive - they are all there!

But it would be a shame to visit to this wonderful town on an all-inclusive deal when there are so many restaurants - hidden gems - just waiting to be discovered.

Tenerife Sunshine Travel has three-star, one-night breaks based on two people sharing in central Puerto de la Cruz from just 12.50 euros per person.

I can hear you asking already: “What is he going on about?” Okay, question No.1: Do you still wear the same clothes as you did five years ago?

Question No.2: Do you still put on the same make-up you did a few years ago?

Question No.3: Do you still cut and colour your hair as you did many years ago?

Chances are, the answer is a big NO …or is it? Are you still stuck with the same mental approach as your image?

If the answer is Yes, you’re going down the road of being stuck in what we call a timewarp. What suited your figure, age or appearance five years ago would now look dated on you. Yeah? Well the same goes for your hair.

Just because a certain shade of brown looked amazing in your 40s doesn’t mean it will hold the same fantastic look in your 50s.

So why, I hear you ask, shouldn’t it be so? For a start, our skin naturally lightens as we age.

Our once-toned skin becomes paler, so darker colours rarely look good.

As those white hairs creep in, keeping a brighter colour or darker shade can be difficult to maintain. If your skin

is getting lighter, so too are your eyebrows. Do they match your hair shade or are they causing a clash?

There’s nothing worse than seeing a totally fake tone on someone who quite obviously isn’t meant to be that shade.

Our natural hair colours aren’t meant to be deviated from. So if you’re, born a redhead, say, then colouring it black will not blend with your skin or the rest of your features.

What I’m trying to get at is that asking your stylist for honest advice is the best way to really get to know what shade you should be.

Very rarely do I colour hair far from its natural tone because this can look completely false and kind of obvious.

And if you’re going to stray too far away from your tone, your roots will come through in a matter of weeks.

So the next time you are shopping for a new dress - something bang on-trend and up-to-theminute in the fashion stakes, take a good look at your hair and ask yourself the big question: “If my hair were a new dress, would I buy it, or would I look twice, thinking I wore that the last time it was in fashion”?

Hair fashion and clothing fashion are the same. Don’t go round thinking, “Oh, this old thing” because really, you could be talking about your hair.

Just changing a few minor details about your look can take years off - and stop you getting stuck in a hair warp.

Is it just me who is being targeted?

By Monica Dyson AM I the only one being targeted by annoying phone calls? Probably, apart from all you lucky people in the Canary Islands!

But please be aware of what is happening back home! One day we had nine calls, which ranged from PPI advice, surveys, insurance for our satellite television system, or about a fault on my computer.

We also get frequent ones asking what we are going to do about the accident we had, and if anyone in our household has arthritis! I certainly didn’t tell them about my new hips! I’d never have got them off the line!

When I re-visited the Telephone Preference Service website, I was told that my telephone number was still on the protected list. But they were at pains to point out that there has been a rise in the number of such calls to people registered on this service because many companies are simply ignoring the law.

Why can’t they do anything about it? I know I can buy a phone or a gadget which can filter phone calls so that you receive the calls from numbers on your chosen list only, but why should I have to?

I cannot believe that, in this day and age, something cannot be done. Just as I am indignant that it seems difficult for the authorities to track down the perpetrators of the distressing tweets so much in the news at the moment.

The nuisance phone calls seemed to come from call centres

abroad at one time.

Now they can be from almost anywhere - and mostly from this country.

I once felt quite sorry for the nice young men who rang me from Mumbai and called me “Ma’am”. I remember one calling me to tell me that I had a computer virus. He asked me how I was and I asked him how he was.

We had quite a pleasant conversation about the weather in Mumbai, and about the time I visited India. By the end of the call, I felt as though I had made a new best friend, even though he rang off forgetting what it was that he’d called for in the first place.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time and it was Christmas - goodwill

to all men and all that.

But as time went on my feelings of bon homie wore off somewhat!

I’m never rude to callers. I accept that they are doing a job which, possibly, no one else wants to do. And I’ve had some quite pleasant door-to-door conversations with people who are often thought of as being a nuisance, like Jehovah Witnesses. But the phone calls were getting a bit much, and, in the runup to Christmas, when times can be hard and people desperate to make a bob or two, they increased daily.

Someone I know simply says, when called: ‘I can’t talk just now, there’s blood everywhere!’ He swears that the calls have diminished - and he hasn’t had a visit from the police, either.

Another friend tells them he’s a builder and asks if they’d like any work doing. Funnily enough, they never do!

The most worrying calls are those from criminals who try to obtain your bank details.

It seems that 60% of us received suspicious cold-calls over the past 12 months from people attempting to blag personal information from us while they are on the phone.

They claim to be representatives of a bank or financial institution and are after your pin number and password.

NEVER give out that information to a stranger however plausible they might sound. That seems to be the most common scam around, with the ones purporting to be from a PPI claim company in second place.

However, there are people, many of them, who are falling for these scams. They cost people over £23.9 million last year alone.

You see, many of the people targeted are pensioners, and we are from an age where we trusted people.

We trusted our bank manager with the details of our bank accounts, just like we trusted our family doctor and our local vicar.

These days, unfortu-

nately, without meaning to be cynical, it is best to be cautious about everyone. The case of Dr Harold Shipman, the serial killer, certainly served to put seeds of doubt into the minds of many trusting patients, while the clergy have blotted their copybooks a time or two.

Ask the parishioners of a church in nearby Barnsley, in South Yorkshire, whose local vicar is on a charge of stealing over £20,000 from church funds to finance what appears to have been a lavish lifestyle.

I have had many calls from professionalsounding people who tell me that I have a virus on my computer.

Unfortunately, this isn’t able to be removed without a payment made on-line, via my bank details.

People having problems with their computer may well fall for this one, but please don’t. There is always someone who can give you the name of a bone-fida computer engineer.

And remember, it’s your phone and you can put it down!

Fun, and no washing-up

SAN Miguel Lions Club is staging a Charity Fun Chino on Sunday, 8th March, at China Town, Trebol, in Costa del Silencio.

Tickets, which cost 12.50 euros, include a banquet meal, washed down with a glass of wine, as well as a quiz, a fun housey-housey (if there’s time) plus live entertainment.

Ralph, Social Secretary (and main Secretary), says: “Come and have fun, with no cooking or washing-up!”

Accion del Sol news

Air-lift our dogs to Germany

ONE of the main jobs carried out

by Marion is to find new homes for the many dogs at the refuge. And it’s a tough ask for her, what with the recession.

Most people like the smaller dogs, which leaves lots of larger breeds needing new homes.

Marion, who runs the

refuge, is always looking for people who travel to Germany with Condor, Air Berlin or Tui Fly, and who would like to help the dogs.

It costs them nothing, except a little bit of time at the airport while Accion del Sol staff check the dogs in. The reservation is always made and paid by the charity.

You will be met by Aktiontier staff in Germany - our sponsors - who will transport the dogs to their new home.. If

you are travelling to Germany and would like to help, please call the refuge on 922 778 630.

We have a busy educational schedule to try to teach as many children as possible about animal welfare. Our hope is that animal cruelty will decline over the coming years. We have large numbers of children visiting the refuge, and we are always in need of paper, coloured card, felttip pens, crayons and craft items. If you would

like to help by donating any of these items, it would be very much appreciated.

“Compi” as he has been named is a ten month old jack Russell cross who is one of our new arrivals and is looking for a new home along with his 200

friends at the refuge so do please come and visit us if you are looking to adopt a dog.

Please call 922778630 for more information or if you would like to help out in anyway or maybe you have some spare time and would like to walk some of the many

dogs at the refuge, that would be very much appreciated by our four legged friends. The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the Parque Eolica where the windmills are and it is open to the public Monday, Tuesday ,Thursday , Friday 14.00-17.00pm and Saturdays 13.00-16.00 . The refuge is closed Wednesdays, Sundays and on Public holiday

Live Arico News

Our Blackie’s a beauty!

WE have just given Blackie a new haircut in the hope that someone will give him a home.

He’s just 18 months old and looks so smart.

Poor Blackie was left tied up on a roof terrace with another dog, who, thankfully, we rehomed. He is a mediumsized spaniel-cross and a lovely dog. For more information call Sue on 629 388 102.

Adopt, don´t buy! Every dog bred or bought takes away the chance of happiness from a dog like Blackie.

The dry month Paul Ward and Michaela Bridges completed Dry January to raise funds for Live Arico. Not

a drop of the hard stuff touched their lips, and they raised 250 euros for us.

Whale and Dolphin trip We have chartered the Mustcat catamaran on Sunday, 21st February, and we’ll be having a private party sailing from Las Galletas, but at 1pm and not the previously stated 2.30pm.

If you are bothered by the thought of whales and dolphins being kept in captivity and performing tricks for food, come out with us and see them in their natural environment.

Tickets cost 20 euros, including drinks, for the three-hour excursion,

which is less than half the normal price.

A donation from the proceeds will be made to Sea Shepherd, to recognise the outstanding work they do to preserve our oceans and marine life.

Fun doggie weekend As you know, our dog

show is now a weekend event, starting on Saturday, 7th March, with a basic obedience course from 3pm, along with an “Ask the Vet” session.

This will be followed at noon the next day by our Fun Dog Show, in collaboration with San Miguel Town Hall.

Both events will be held next to the Cultural Centre at Llano del Camello. It’s just two euros to enter your pooch, so come and have an enjoyable afternoon with us.

As our last dog show was so successful, we have added a fancy dress category, which should be fun.

For more info on both events, call Sue on 629 388 102.

We will be moving into our new shop at Golf Park, on Golf del Sur, (on the loop road just before the lottery kiosk) on Monday, 23rd February, from 1pm, so please come to our opening party. We need anything

that can help us fit the shop out - shop furniture, hanging rails and also, an unwanted iron, ironing board and masses of coat hangers.

On top of this, donations of good quality second-hand clothes, books, dvds, etc.

We still have shops in Los Cristianos, CalleRevron near Churchills Bar, and San Eugenio opposite Hotel La Nina by Amandas bar at lasCarabelas complex.

Both shops open from 10am-4pm Monday to Friday, and until 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. Come and have a browse, bag a bargain and help the animals.

Legal Matters

By Mariano Zunino Siri

A READER has asked me why there are different laws within the Spanish territory, such as National Laws and Autonomous Community Laws, (without taking into account European Law) and how can we distinguish each one.

To outline this in a column is a challenge, but I will try to explain this by summarising the Spanish legal system.

The system applied

by Spanish law is the one called “continental system”.

Simplifying it, is a system based in the law considered as a group of codes (laws and regulations). In Spain this system is

13th February - 19th February 2015

Autonomous communities very complex as there are many autonomous communities (Comunidades Autónomas, like the Canary Islands) with their own legislation coexisting with the National law. The supreme Law is the Constitution (created in 1978), which regulates the functions of public bodies (government, authorities), the fundamental rights of the Spanish citizens and the organization and competencies of the different Autonomous Communities.

All laws in Spain must be declared compatible with the Constitution (all laws in breach with the Constitution are null). The Constitutional Court is the judicial authority that controls this matter. Do not be confused with the Supreme Court which is the Highest Court in Spain but different of the Constitutional

Court. The Constitution is the supreme Law. Below the Constitution there are other regulations such us: International Treaties; Law in strict sense (Organic Law, Ordinary Law), Regulatory Laws (Decrees) and rules

coming from the Executive Power (i.e.: Ministerial Order).

In addition, Autonomous Communities have the power to regulate areas of their competence and can create laws valid within its territory (i.e.: laws

created by the Canarian Parliament). Finally, the local authorities (Town Halls) have regulatory activity.

The Constitution also regulates the competence of the Autonomous Communities in relation to their capac-

ity to create internal Laws (Autonomous Community Law) through their own Parliaments. The Statute of Autonomy is the supreme Law of every Autonomous Community.

Take into account that the Statute of Autonomy cannot be in breach with the Constitution.

A special consideration must be done in relation to the European Laws. All laws coming from EU institutions are directly applicable in Spain because of the Treaty of European Union and part of the internal Law in Spain.

Although this matter is a bit difficult to understand (I have simplified it), it explains why there are rules that come from the National Authorities (Parliament) and others that are valid within the Canary territory. In future columns I will be back to this matter.

Last Issue's Answers: Riddles: Rowing Across the River

Call the requested width of the river r.

The first time that Patrick and Eric meet, the total distance that they have traveled together equals the width of the river, or r. The second time that Patrick and Eric meet, the total distance that they have traveled together equals twice the width of the river plus the width of the river, so 3 × r. Because Patrick and Eric row with a constant speed, it also holds that the distance that Patrick traveled in total at the second meeting, equals 3 times the distance that Patrick traveled in total at the first meeting.

The distance that Patrick traveled in total at the first meeting is 180. The distance that Patrick traveled in total at the second meeting is r + 100. When we combine the above, we get the following equation: 3 × 180 = r + 100.

When we solve this equation we find that r = 440.

The shortest path between two points in a plane is a straight line. Since the spider moves via the sides of the room only, we can “unfold” the room to make it a plane.

The shortest path between the spider and the fly is the straight line AC. Since AB has a length of 1.5+3+1.5 = 6 meters and BC has a length of 0.25+7.5+0.25 = 8 meters, AC has a length of 10 meters.

Every natural number is member of one of the following six series: 0, 6, 12, 18, ...

1, 7, 13, 19, ...

2, 8, 14, 20, ...

3, 9, 15, 21, ...

4, 10, 16, 22, ...

5, 11, 17, 23, ...

If for a number in one of these series holds that it can be made using the numbers 6, 9, and 20, then this also holds for all subsequent numbers in the series (by adding a multiple of 6).

To find out what the largest number is that cannot be made using the numbers 6, 9, and 20, we therefore only need to know, for every series, what the smallest number is that can be made in that way.

In the series 0, 6, 12, 18, ... the smallest number that can be made is 0, so there is no number that cannot be made.

In the series 1, 7, 13, 19, ... the smallest number that can be made is 49 (20+20+9), so 43 is the largest number that cannot be made.

In the series 2, 8, 14, 20, ... the smallest number that can be made is 20, so 14 is the largest number that cannot be made.

In the series 3, 9, 15, 21, ... the smallest number that can be made is 9, so 3 is the largest number that cannot be made.

In the series 4, 10, 16, 22, ... the smallest number that can be made is 40 (20+20), so 34 is the largest number that cannot be made.

In the series 5, 11, 17, 23, ... the smallest number that can be made is 29 (20+9), so 23 is the largest number that cannot be made.

Brain Training:

Therefore, 43 is the largest number that cannot be made using the numbers 6, 9, and 20.

It never rains...

By Roscoe

CD Tenerife 0 Girona 1 TENERIFE fans are going through another one of those spells. That familiar feeling of dread, doom and the sense that God is having a laugh at their expense.

Last weekend’s defeat under new manager Raul Agne was disappointing. Girona are going well and they defended like a side in second place. But on another day, Tenerife would have claimed a morale-boosting draw.

French defender Florian Lejuene’s ninthminute goal, his first in senior football since 2011, ultimately settled the contest. Yet Tenerife did all right, and a better ref than Daniel Ocon would have given them a penalty.

So it’s no win since Christmas Day, and three straight defeats to plunge us deep into relegation trouble.

And the hits just keep on coming. Firstly, defender Igor Arnaez could be out for the season after a freak trainingground accident. He collided with Maxi Lopez and has suffered cuts to his kidney and spleen.

He has had one operation and needs another.

It’s a nasty one, and a problem that takes some getting over, as any jump jockey will tell you.

Then on Tuesday, Ricardo turned his knee and is out for 6-8 weeks.

What is it with Tenerife players and knee injuries this season?

It’s a big blow as Tenerife have some huge matches coming up.

On the plus side, they are looking to replace Arnaez and they still have one spot left in the squad.

So they could, in theory, get two new players in - and there are plenty of free agent players at the moment.

Agne said “It happens when everything is go-

ing against you. But we remain positive. Last weekend we were a little too open defensively, and that was my fault.

That will not happen against Mirandes.”

Along with Ricardo, there is no Suso this weekend. He is serving a one-match ban.

His place could go to Quique Rivero. He sat out the Girona match but has been playing right-midfield in training this week.

Quique was always around the team under Alvaro Cervera and is a natural holding midfield player. Maybe Agne feels that Tenerife need more defensive cover out wide?

Key striker Diego Ifran is promising improvement. “I thought at times we did well against Girona,” he said. “You have to understand that we are being asked to play a different system, so that takes time.

“It’s not going to just happen overnight. But the squad has good strength and we are ready to get points against Mirandes.”

The hosts will welcome

back former Tenerife goalie Razak Brimah, who has been starring in the African Cup of Nations for Ghana.

Heartbreakingly, they lost the final on penalty kicks against Ivory Coast on Sunday. Razak actually missed the vital penalty, but he was rock-solid in the tournament in Equitorial Guinea.

Mirandes haven’t won a match since he left and he should start. In the reverse fixture, he got a warm welcome in Santa Cruz and those with long memories will remember why.

A few years ago, he agreed to have his contract cancelled so Tenerife could sign four senior players. He didn’t have to do that and he said at the time that it was his love for the club and the Island which prompted him.

His son was born here and I’ve a feeling he will be back with us one day.

Elsewhere this week, former boss Jose Luis Oltra finally left Recreativo. It’s been an impossible job for him. The club is essentially bust and the players haven’t

been paid for months.

In some ways, it’s a shame he didn’t leave a few weeks ago, as he might have been back in Santa Cruz...

Finally, some of the results last week showed quite what a crazy division this is. NumanPosition

cia were in the bottom four a couple of weeks ago, but are now in the top 10 after spanking Sabadell 3-0. Valladoild and an improving Real Zaragoza both hit four, while Las Palmas, as I predicted a few weeks ago, are starting to Points

Lock-in at The Pub! THERE was not so much a lockin but more a lock-out for Bar 180 B as The Pub called last orders on them with a thumping 8-0 whitewash.

Target Army’s timing may have been a bit off as they were held to a draw by Vikings Ensecan, although they can point to the Vikings’ good performance, which included 180s from Alan and Rob. Target Army are now level with Phoenix Bar, which makes the next few weeks’ fixtures very interesting, with The Pub facing Target Army, followed by Bar 180 A, and Phoenix Bar facing, well, no one!

With the Shamrocks and Trap Door not playing until next week, Playboys opened a 12-point gap at the summit of Division 1 by winning the trebles leg to secure a win over Gaffers A. Emerald Lounge

That’s two in a row now for Grizzly and his merry men. In fact, they have dropped just three points in their last four matches, moving themselves up to second spot in the Premier League with a four-point cushion.

With Grizzly firing in a maximum, and Daniel 100% on his doubles, they seem to have hit top form with perfect timing.

also won the last rubber to beat Picassos, and Clouseaus’ draw with naughty Nautas included a first maxi-

mum for Andy.

Elsewhere, Summerlands maintained their mid-table respectability by putting six

past Sundowners. The Palms must be thinking that Christmas has come around quickly because they were top

of the Division 2 for just a week!

Waterfall Warriors regained the lead by beating Barracuda Hunters 6-2, setting things up nicely for the next round of fixtures, with the top four all playing each other.

Palms will entertain the Chippers, while Palms Sports Bar travel to the Waterfall.

With three matches left, it really is crunch time. Chippers will be relishing that next fixture, especially after they showed good form to claim six points at Spear Chuckers, and the local Los Abrigos derby saw Phoenix Flights take the bragging rights with a fine 6-2 success over The Rebels.

Nick’s still booming away ANOTHER weekend passes and the results are now starting to shape the top and bottom of the Premier League.

But in the Oasis Fm Fantasy League, it is still anybody’s to win.

There seems to be a lot of shuffling around of teams as certain players seem to be hitting form at the right time.

And the point-scoring is starting to get higher.

With just 14 games to go, there is still time for plenty of movement at the top, if team selection is right.

The point-scoring across the fixtures was evenly spread, demonstrated by Crystal Palace providing two players, while the other nine all came from different clubs - Southampton, Everton, Liv-

erpool, West Brom, Hull, Man Utd, Swansea, Spurs and Burnley.

In the Oasis Fm League, there is no change at the top, Nick Abbott is still there with his Boomtown Rabz. It wasn’t his best scoring week, but his rivals were the same. He has extended his lead to 16 points, but they can soon be turned around. The team of the week was Boardy’s Ballers, managed by

Darren Boardman, who scored 70 points, assisted by three players - Eden Hazard, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane - getting into double figures, Roscoe was unable to continue his heroic point-scoring in a quest to avoid the wooden spoon in the Oasis Fm Towers battle. But he did extend his gap over John Zammit to 13 points. It is still tight, though, be-

tween Adi Benson and Chris Elkington. They are well clear of their

rivals with Adi holding a seven-point lead over Chris.

Plucky Exiles run out of puff WE had a break from league action this week as we played the second round of the Tenerife Pool Tables Cup and the first round of the Plate competition.

There were no real shocks in the cup competition as the results reflected the league positions. Gaffers A are going for a league-andcup double and were favourites going into their match against Exiles B. But they didn’t have it all their own way.

Blair and his teammates have been in decent form recently and pushed the home team all the way until running out of steam, enabling Gaffers to take their place in the next round.

On paper, Treehouse A versus Inn The Pink A looked like an evenly-matched game, but the visitors quickly got into their stride and started picking off frames off with ease.

The Treehouse team’s head dropped and they never recovered, but at least they managed one frame which at least stopped a whitewash.

The same could be also said for the clash between Waterfall Rebels and Dreamers A, which started in similar fashion. Dreamers raced into a 4-0 lead, but the Rebels composed themselves and didn’t panic.

They knew the next frame was important and once they had that under their belt, they promptly won the next seven and the contest was over. Dreamers were left to rue missing some easy blacks.

Both Phoenix teams were in action, both had away fixtures, and the outcome was the same. The Phoenix got

past Palms A, but the home side more than helped Harry’s boys.

They missed some simple chances to take key , while Phoenix took their opportunities.

Potting the black is the name of the game, and the 8-4 scoreline was repeated as Phoenix Potters travelled to Terrace Bar A, who they had beaten just a couple of weeks ago in the league.

This time, though, their opponents were in good form and raced into a 3-1 lead. But this was reversed in the next set of frames to leave a 4-4 scoreline.

The Potters struck back, wining the next two to at least guarantee a play-off. But Eric wasn’t settling for that and grabbed the winning frame. Adi and Sparky, from Terrace

Bar, will rue missed blacks in the final two frames as they could have won the match!

The final two games saw a First Division versus Second Division match and an allSecond Division game.

James Place, who are looking for promotion, pitted their wits against Palms B, giving them an opportunity to see how they would fare in Division One, Unfortunately, it didn’t go their way and Palms

enjoyed a straightforward win.

Sporting Jester B took on Waterfall Jokers in what was a close game, which could have gone either way.

But the visitors did enough.

In the Plate first round, a top division scalp was taken. Hammers C, bottom of the First Division, played Sporting Jester A, who lead the Second Division, so in terms of placing they were close. When it came to the pool, though, they were miles apart, with Sporting Jester battering the top team.

Terrace B enjoyed their trip to the Crown, where they eased into round two with some classy pool, The home team are just finding their way after joining the league recently and struggled to get into this game. But they came up against tricky opponents.

Tenerife Pool Tables, who have been adding new players to their ranks, enjoyed a good league victory last week. But they couldn’t repeat it this week against Gaffers B. They seldom got going and the outcome never looked in doubt.

Gaffers have some good players and it showed with the final result. There was also disappointment for Picasso’s, who couldn’t find a way past Inn The Pink B.

Despite some close games the visitors were in fine form and it wasn’t long before they had the game wrapped up and their place in the draw for round two.

Last weekend, there was the annual duel with the Scotand boys and as usual, it was a thrilling encounter.

The opening contest at Palms Bar saw some quality pool and the traditionally fast Scotland start.

They won the first six matches, but Team Tenerife didn’t panic.

The squad this year is deep. and when Picasso’s Steve won match 7, the Tenerife lads started to go through the gears - 6-1 swiftly became 7-6 and when the matches went from best of three to 10 single-frames contests, Tenerife’s players pulled out all the stops.

Home roar after home roar signalled the hosts’ advantage, and at the end of the night Tenerife had a healthy 16-12 lead to take into Sunday’s decider.

The Terrace Bar in Amarilla Golf hosted and bossman Andy played a blinder with the hospitality. The Tenerife team were missing a plethora of top players, but the call-ups were no mugs. They were confident of reaching the 28-point victory mark.

Scotland, led by Tony Reynolds, again start-

ed well, but they were struggling to claw back those four vital points.

At one stage, they reduced the gap to 19-17, only for Tenerife’s tail to again wag.

At the halfway point, Tenerife were 23-21 up with the single frame games to go. The pressure was on the Scotland lads as Tenerife took the early points and, at 27-21, the match appeared over.

However, the Scots were not quite done.

They pinched match 49 and then 50 to make it 27-23. Tenerife needed one win, one sunken black and one hero.

But the balls started to roll the visitors’ way and 27-24 became 2725. And when captain Tony made it 27-26, it was game on.

The atmosphere was white hot and, after an unlucky in-off for Tenerife, Scotland claimed game 54 remarkably to force a three-frame play-off.

John for Scotland and then Neil for Tenerife brought the match, fittingly down to the last frame.

Young Craig, from Peacocks, faced Celtic legend Joe Miller, who scored the winning goal in the 1989 Scottish Cup Final against Rangers.

But we will remember him as the man who broke Tenerife hearts by coolly slotting home the final black and giving the trophy back to Scotland.

Premier League preview

By Adi Benson WE have another break in Premier League action as the FA Cup 5th Round takes place.

And for those teams who have already lost out, it offers a chance to maybe get away to warmer climes for extra training.

It it certainly gives them an opportunity to refresh their supposedly tired bodies West Brom v West Ham West Brom are involved in a relegation battle, and this could be a game they could do without - or it can be a good distraction. If they can get a result, it will be excellent for confidence to take into their next league game. Tony Pulis hasn’t worked much of his magic so far, and one or two players owe big performances, but will he use fringe players or go strong?

West Ham have had a good, steady season and have probably performed better than many thought they would. Results haven’t gone their way recently in the league and they have slipped back. But they will be having a look at the teams left in this competition and thinking they could actually win it.

Prediction: Away win Blackburn v Stoke Blackburn will fancy their chances as their current form is good and in Jordan Rhodes, they have one of the best strikers in the Championship.

There is still a lot of turmoil surrounding the club and their finances, but this hasn’t affected them on the pitch and they have moved up to within striking distance of the play-off places.

Stoke are also in a good vein of form – well, until they bumped into an inspired Man City on Wednesday.

Mark Hughes’ men are completely safe this season and will not make the top eight, so they will have their eyes on a real cup run. This could be a tasty, old-

New giant-killing for Bradford?

fashioned encounter.

Prediction: Home win Derby v Reading Steve McLaren has done a great job at Derby, and, even though he has been linked to bigger jobs, it is clear to see that he wants to gain promotion with the Rams. And so far, they are on course. A good cup run will only enhance their season, and you can guarantee they will be up for this fixture. Their opponents will hold no fear for them, and they will relish pitting their wits against a Premiership team next round.

Reading have improved under Steve Clarke, and their 2-1 win at Wolves last week caught the eye. And they were good value for that victory as well.

Derby have had a dream run in the cup so far and they have goals all over the team. That should be the difference.

Prediction: Home win C Palace v Liverpool Palace’s league position is a little more stable, but that can soon change and they could still get dragged into a relegation fight, so I am not sure how Alan Pardew will approach this game, team-wise. They are at home, though, and their opponents seem to struggle here, I’m not even mentioning last season, so with that in mind, I expect them to attack from the off and

try to get an early goal.

If they do, one may just be enough.

Much has been made about Liverpool’s resurgence of late, but they haven’t really been tested because they have beaten the teams they are expected to beat. There is also pressure on them to get Steven Gerrard to a final in his last season for the club, but for me, too much is being made of that! And of course we all remember what happened at Selhurst Park last season.

Prediction: Away win Aston Villa v Leicester Villa sacked Paul Lambert this week, so the fans will expect a reaction from the players.

I expected

them to be beaten by Bournemouth in the last round, but they played one of their best games of the season to ease into this round. As the home team, they are the favourites going into this game, and in many ways the cup is a nice distraction from their League woes.

Leicester are in real trouble. The manager grabbing players by the throat and then the “has he or hasn’t he” been sacked stories.

They need find a win, any win, to get their season going again.

Prediction: Home win Bradford v Sunderland Bradford will struggle to top their last cup game after coming from 2-0 down to beat Chel-

sea at Stamford Bridge.

But this time they are at home against one of the Premier League strugglers. They will be looking at putting on a performance and, if they can match their work ethic from the Chelsea game, don’t bet on them not pulling off another giant-killing.

Sunderland know they have their work cut out, but over the last couple of seasons they have been a good cup side.

They will be wary of the opposition, though, as it took them a replay to get past Fulham in the fourth round, so they will not take their task too lightly and again, they will be looking for new signing Jermaine Defoe to get the goals to put them in the next round.

Prediction: Home win Arsenal v Middlesbrough With their current form, Arsenal have to be favourites to lift the cup, but they face tough opposition who know how to beat a Premiership team. Arsene Wenger does have a tendency to tinker with his cup sides and may be tempted to name what may be seen as a weaker squad, especially as it seems that a Champions League spot is always more important to him.

Middlesbrough famously beat Man City in

round four and it would have been the result of the round had Bradford not beaten Chelsea. They are also in the promotion hunt in the Championship and look a good, solid, footballing side. Going to the Emirates will not affect them, and they will arrive with the belief that they can win.

Prediction: Home win Preston v Man Utd Preston will have been up for this game ever since the draw was made, and with United not firing on all cylinders, this gives them a great opportunity to claim a famous scalp.

They will have analysed the two games United played against Cambridge, and if they can keep it tight and make sure they take the chances they get, there is a real possibility that they can progress further in the competition.

United have been disappointing this season, even given their current league position. They have an expensivelyassembled squad who have not yet gelled, and it doesn’t look like happening any time soon.

They lack pace in midfield and players such as Rooney and Di Maria are under-performing, making this a potential banana skin for them.

Prediction: Draw
