Bourne film transforms Santa Cruz into Athens Contiuned from Front The film crew arrived last week and principal filming began in Monday in El Fraile with some second-unit shots. These are, essentially, background pictures with a few extras.

This allowed designers to begin the task of transforming Santa Cruz into Athens for the main action. Billboards, cafes, mailboxes and street names were all transformed into a Greek design.

And in one scene filmed on Tuesday, there were “anti-austerity” banners being waved by some of the extras.

The fifth film in the Bourne franchise is unnamed but rumoured to be called the Bourne Betrayal. Lead actors Matt Damon and Julia

Styles have been in Santa Cruz for over a week and are staying, along with the director Paul Greengrass and all the senior crew, in the hotel Mencey. But

be warned: security is watertight.

A pre-shooting party in the hotel’s gardens was held over the weekend, and Matt Damon is said to be a regular in the Mencey’s gym.

He has also been spotted pounding the streets in the early hours. And the hard work seems to be paying off, judging by the first picture from the set!

Julia Styles has been exploring the city during her down time.

One cafe tweeted a picture of Ms Styles, said to have become something of a regular visitor, and she has impressed the locals with her flawless Spanish.

Filming has been tak-

ing place all over Santa Cruz, but base camp has been set up in Plaza de Espana. This has caused some major travel headaches, but the local police appear to have done a good job of diverting the traffic.

They have been issuing almost hourly updates.

Their spokesperson, Zaida Gonzalez, said: “Turning Santa Cruz into a movie set for a blockbuster film of this calibre is a challenge.

“But with the right information, and the

co-operation of the everyday co-existence between the municipality and the major promotion, it will ensure that Santa Cruz will be more than ready for this shoot.”

A new bus timetable and route map is also in operation as everyone in the capital embraces the filming.

The areas around Plaza de España today (Friday) Monday will see the area closed again overnight from 6pm until 7am. This

means changes to bus routes 910, 914, 909, 920, 921, 945, 946, 947, and access by the tunnel to the bus station.

On 14th, 15th, 16th, 21st and 22nd September, there will be some route and timetable changes from 3pm to 015, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 126, 127, 131, 138, 139, 231, 233, 711, 933, 939, 940, 941 and 944.

Over 1,000 people have been hired as extras and nearly 300,000 euros a day is being pumped into the economy.

There will be six night shoots over the next two weeks, before filming moves to the North airport on 26th September, and then wraps up after three days of shooting in Taco between 28th-30th.

The film’s producer, Frank Marshall, tweeted to his 27,400 followers. First day of principal photography complete and happy to report, BOURNE is back! #Bourne2016 Matt Damon returns to the starring role as Jason Bourne, with Julia Stiles back as trusty sidekick Nicky Parsons.

At the beginning of the week, Black Swan star Vincent Cassel is joined the cast as a villainous assassin. His character is said to be tracking Bourne, so there has to be a good chance that the former Ocean’s Twelve actor will pitch up in Tenerife.

Tommy Lee Jones also stars as Bourne’s CIA superior officer, and one newspaper reporter said he could also be filming in Santa Cruz.

The plot is a closelyguarded secret, but Damon has hinted that it will have elements of CIA whistle-blower Edward Snowden and the current Greek crisis. This would explain why Santa Cruz is being turned into Athens.

The Canary Islands is proving to be the goto place for filming recently because the climate and low taxation appeals to producers.

Rajoy and Cameron on same wavelength

SPANISH leader Mariano Rajoy backed David Cameron all the way at a joint press briefing, describing bilateral relations as “magnificent” and calling for the UK to remain in the European Union.

He also pointed out that he had to continue with his reform programme to enable the economic recovery to filter down to “all Spaniards”.

At the briefing, offered by the two PMs following their second meeting at Moncloa Palace, Rajoy said that asylum and immigration were among the main issues of their meeting.

Leader’s reform pledge is such a tonic for Clavijo Mariano Rajoy has promised Canarian Executive chief Fernando Clavijo he will accelerate the Archipelago’s reform of the Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF).

The Spanish Prime Minister got together with Clavijo in the Palacio de la Moncloa for nearly 90 minutes in a meeting the Canarian President described as “encouraging”.

Clavijo was satisfied with their discussions on various issues, such as that of the REF reform, modifying regional funding and how the Canaries will be affected by the general state budget next year.

Regarding the REF as proof of Rajoy’s commitment, Clavijo said the Prime Minister assured him he will attend the meeting with Economic Bureau of Government chief, Ivaro Nadal.

“It’s great news that he is taking such a keen interest,” said Clavijo. And the Coalición Canaria leader, hoping the document will have been be signed off before the General Election, stressed that the “objective” would be on the 30th of this

month. In terms of funding, Rajoy admitted that the Islands suffer an imbalance in the model distribution, agreed between the regions in 2009, according to Clavijo, who added: “He expressed the desire and the need for a correction, but it will have to be done by the next government.”

The third section of the meeting was devoted to the general state budget, and the need for funds to improve the Archipelago.

“Rajoy said he will do everything in his power to improve that position,” said Clavijo. “He has not finalised the amendments or specific items - but in the coming days, the realisation will come.

“This commitment of Rajoy to take into account the specifics of the Canary Islands - a land he knows well - will allow the regional government to be moderately optimistic and satisfied with the meeting.”

Clavijo also confirmed that the regional government would work with “loyalty” alongside the central executive to host the extent that determines the refugees who are entering Europe. “Canarias are not going to turn their backs,” he said.

He also underlined that more than 10% of those working in Spain were foreigners without including those with dual nationality - and that the vast majority of them were integrated and contributed to the country’s progress.

“Hence, we are well aware of this issue,” he said.

The Spanish PM added: “Spain has also suffered in this area, such as those we are seeing at this time across the European Union, from “tragic situations and events”, with images “that are bound to affect any human being and that force us to take decisions and do

so as effectively as possible”.

And he believes this is the most important challenge facing Europe in the coming years.

Of the asylum situation, he said: “Europe cannot renounce any of the methods of granting asylum to those people who are entitled to this under international law, since this forms part of our make-up as Europeans, and it is a moral duty.”

Spain’s position “will be constructive and positive, and all those who ask for asylum and are entitled to this, will be attended to,” he outlined. “And we will work with other Euro-

pean Union countries to resolve this problem.”.

The goal, he said, was for immigration to be voluntary and legal and “never out of desperation”.

The two leaders also tackled the economic situation in their respective countries, and in the European Union.

Of the Spanish economy, Rajoy said that just three years ago, jobs were being shed at a rate of 9% per annum, whereas now they are being created at a rate of 8%.

He also mentioned certain positive figures announced recently, such as the increase in tax revenues, re-

tail trade sales and inbound tourist numbers.

Rajoy advocated his Government’s need to persevere with his reform policies so that 500,000 jobs can be created each year. “If we achieve this objective, it will greatly improve the level of well-being and wealth in our country,” he said.

He also discussed Cameron’s proposals to reform the EU, and his proposed referendum on Britain remaining in the EU. Rajoy claimed it would be “a step backwards and something unthinkable” for the UK not to form part of the EU.

Copper gang busted GUARDIA Civil officers have pulled the plug on a major copper-thieving operation in South Tenerife, arresting four Arona residents and another five people.

The thefts began in early summer, when police became aware that a group of people in Cabo Blanco were stealing copper wire in various municipalities, including Arona, Adeje and San Miguel de Abona. They were aided by

one member, who rented a van and lent it out to others to carry off the crimes.

They removed several hundred metres of quality copper cable and the shape was then altered to alleviate suspicion by police and the owners.

It was treated and distributed among the rest of the group, in batches of 50kg, which were sold to various scrap-metal dealers in Granadilla town to avoid suspicion.

The transfer and distribution of the copper was also carried out by girlfriends and partners of the gang.

Once the cable was sold, they repeated the process in another area until they were located by police patrols. But the rented vehicle was given back and a different van was let out by another member.

The group were charged with 12 counts of robbery with force

in those municipalities, and a further seven thefts in El Medano.

Police seized two vehicles and recovered stolen copper weighing around 600kg. They estimate that the damage caused by the thefts during July and August could cost as much 16,851 euros to put right.

They also believe the copper sold could have earned the gang up to 54,776 euros.

Now Jet2 put boot in AN low-cost airline has called for a national database of rowdy passengers to stop them travelling with all registered flight companies.

And little wonder because a Jet2.com holiday flight to Tenerife from Glasgow was forced to divert to Faro, on Portugal’s Algarve, after several thuggish passengers threatened the cabin crew.

The plane, scheduled to touch down in Tenerife last Friday evening, had to make an emergency landing in Faro as the men’s behaviour worsened.

Eventually,

the 14-strong group were marched off the jet by Portuguese police.

A Jet2.com spokeswoman said: “The Glasgow-to-Tenerife flight diverted so the airline could offload disruptive passengers.

“Their behaviour towards the cabin crew got so aggressive and verbally abusive that the captain made an immediate decision to divert for the safety of both his team and the other customers.

“The group were escorted off the aircraft by police and the flight continued on to Tenerife.”

She added: “Jet2.com has issued all 14 passengers with lifetime bans and is working closely with the authorities, who are investigating the incident.”

The flight was, apparently, delayed in Faro for about three hours, and disgruntled passengers did not get to Tenerife South airport until after 10pm.

Jet2.com, which has a zero tolerance policy towards drunk and rowdy passengers, has brought in tough measures under their Onboard Together programme to warn pas-

Buoyant PM is in harmony with Cameron and Merkel

SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was joined by British counterpart David Cameron in Madrid last Friday to address the growing Syrian refugee crisis - and the Catalan independence bid.

At a joint press conference at La Moncloa, the PM’s residence, Mr Cameron issue a warning to Catalan nationalists over the 27th September regional elections, which secessionists are casting as a plebiscite on independence.

If the latter win the ballot and declare unilateral independence as they are threatening - it would form part of the EU and be forced to the back of the queue of countries awaiting admission, said the British PM. If part of a state secedes, it is no longer part of the EU and has to take its place at the back of the queue behind other countries applying to become members.

Cameron, referring to the secessionist crisis he himself faced last year when Scotland held a referendum on independence, said: “Just like the UK, Spain is a great country with a long and proud history, and if I had a message, it would be the same as the one in the

UK - that we are better off together. If one part of a state secedes, it’s no longer part of the European Union and has to take its place at the back of the queue behind those other countries applying to become members of the European Union,” For Rajoy, who has long opposed the independence bid and has stated that Catalonia will never be independent, these words represented the second show of support from a European leader, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on Catalonia to respect European agreements on territorial sovereignty.

Merkel said at a joint press conference with Rajoy in Berlin: “I had underscored the need to guarantee the sovereignty and integrity of each state - it is important that national law be respected. And on that issue there is no difference between Rajoy and me.”

Meanwhile, the Spanish leader addressed the growing refugee crisis in Europe by pledging to “help everyone with the right to asylum.”

Rajoy, of the centreright Popular Party (PP), added: “We are dealing with the most important challenge facing Europe

in the coming years.”

The PM, who had initially said that Spain could not accept more than 2,739 refugees but has since pledged to raise that number, also asked European officials to make a difference between refugees and “illegal immigration for economic reasons”.

His Government has argued that Spain’s resources are already stretched to the limit because of the influx of undocumented migrants from the north of Africa.

As for just how many refugees Spain is now willing to take in, Rajoy said it was necessary to wait until the 14th September (Monday) meeting of EU interior ministers.

Cameron held Spain up as a role model of how to handle a migratory crisis because of its experience with illegal immigration.

He mentioned the way Spain “financed the coastguard system in the countries of origin, funding programmes in those countries”, with reference to the 2007 mass arrival of migrantfilled boats to the Canary Islands.

“That’s an experience we need to learn from, and that the European Union must take into account,” he said.

sengers of the effects of alcohol at high altitude.

Staff are asked to intervene quickly with disruptive passengers and have the power to divert the aircraft to the nearest airport.

The Onboard Together programme is a series of measures taken by the company to educate its passengers about the dangers of getting drunk on a plane, including a life ban by Jet2.

On one hand, it’s a good idea because some passengers need etiquette lessons every once in a while. On the other hand, Jet2 is making sure its battle lines are clearly drawn. And anyone who wants to make trouble

on one of Jet2’s planes is asking for trouble.

Phil Ward, Jet2.com Managing Director, said: “We will not tolerate disruptive and abusive people who threaten our crew and unnerve other passengers.

“We launched Onboard Together to put a stop to such offensive behaviour. People who are looking forward to their holiday shouldn’t have to put up with it. We have empowered our staff to take whatever action they deem appropriate to stamp it out, including diverting flights if necessary.”

A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said:

“We have been notified about this incident by Jet2.Com. We were not aware of any problems on this flight prior to departure.”

In July, Jet2 issued life bans to two men, Paul Strain and Kevin Brady, following “extreme anti-social behaviour” on a flight from Glasgow to Dalaman in Turkey. They also banned Brady’s girlfriend, Claire Marshall, for six months and refused to let any of them on the return flight to Scotland.

All three, allegedly, became abusive towards cabin crew after they were refused drinks from the bar. Jet 2 claimed that despite being warned, the two men continued to use obscene language.

The airline also banned 21-year-old Jamie Ferguson following anti-social behaviour on a Glasgow-Ibiza flight the same month.

And the company successfully claimed £2,700 from him for losses they suffered as a result.

Rally disaster claims girl, 12 THE number of fatalities in Saturday’s rally crash in La Coruña increased to seven with the death of a 12-year-old girl, who suffered severe head injuries.

The shocking incident took place when one of the competing car rivers in the north-west Spain event lost control of his vehicle and ran into a group of around 20 spectators. Two more people, one of whom is a minor, remain in a critical condition in hospital, while five more have other injuries. Another 10, who suffered minor injuries, were discharged from hospital on Sunday.

Meanwhile, autopsies have already been car-

ried out on the six onlookers who died at the scene. One was a girl, and another three, women, two of whom were pregnant. The partner of one of them was also killed.

The rally had not been held for 14 years in La Coruña because, said one team member on Sunday: “People group together on that straight because there is a spectacular bend there, which the cars come sliding around.”

It is not known how the car, a Peugeot 206 XS, lost control on that stretch of the course.

The vehicle moved toward the ditch on the right of the track when, in theory, it should have moved to the left. It spun around, ploughing into the crowd as it went.

The Guardia Civil sent

a specialised accident team to investigate why the tragedy happened. The driver of the car, Sergio Taveayo, was said to have been “devastated”, according to race winner Iván Ares.

Residents of nearby villages Carral and Cambre, where the victims lived, have also been deeply affected.

“The Galician Rally Federation does not depend on the Spanish one,” said former rally driver Luis Moya. “And as such, it doesn’t follow the criteria of the FIA (International Automobile Federation).

I don’t know how they have acted.”

He added: “The security chief has the power to change parts of the race if there is any danger. He would warn the race director and that part of the course would be removed.”

German woman’s ‘easy’ way to board A GERMAN woman, without a passport or boarding pass, was arrested after somehow getting on an easyJet plane heading for Tenerife from Gatwick.

Sussex Police were called to the airport just after 7am last Friday when it was reported that the 51-year-old intruder had been discovered, before passengers had been given the go-ahead to board.

Gatwick authorities failed to offer any explanation for the worrying security breach, which delayed the flight by more than an hour.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: “The plane was re-screened for security purposes and all the passengers were allowed to board

eventually to continue with their journey.”

The woman was arrested on suspicion of entering a restricted area - an offence under airport legislation - without permission, and remains in custody.

Passengers were instructed to go through security screening in the North Terminal again before being allowed to board.

According to easyJet’s website, the flight to Tenerife left at 8.45am, which was 75 minutes behind schedule after “additional security checks” were carried out.

Gatwick Airport merely confirmed the startling incident.

If you are an EU national, you do not need to show your passport or national ID card when travelling from one border-free Schengen EU country to another.

The Schengen Area

is the zone comprising 26 European countries which have abolished passport and any other type of border control at their common borders, also referred to as internal borders.

However, the UK is not included in this group, which means anyone travelling from Britain to mainland Europe must have his or her passport.

An easyJet spokesman said: “The individual was subjected to a full security search and screening processes, and there was no risk to passenger security.

“As a precautionary measure, all passengers on flight EZY8703 ere rechecked through security. We are investigating this matter with all relevant parties.

“EasyJet has apologised to all passengers for the inconvenience.”

Star-studded Spain

TAKE a bow, Spain! it recorded the fastestgrowing economy among the eurozone’s “big four” countries last month, and it is galloping ahead to record its secondbest expansion period in more eight years.

Figures from PMI, the continent’s dominant services sector, demonstrated that Spanish companies recorded their 11th straight month of rising employment and new orders.

The country’s PMI reading came in at 59.6 in August, capping off another strong month for the eurozone, where activity rose to 54.3 in August from 53.9 in July.

With any reading over 50 indicating growth, expansion was also driven by strong performances in Germany and Italy. A

And, said Andrew Harker, senior economist at Markit. the services sector was the “leading light” of the Spanish economy.

Spain’s domestic recovery really has been proceeding at speed, just three years after the country’s banks were bailed-out by international creditors.

Spaniards are now preparing to go to the December polls to decide whether to stick to the austerity mantra of Mariano Rajoy’s ruling party.

Rising employment will be welcome news to the Government because jobless rates remain stubbornly high at 22%, which is the eurozone’s second-highest after Greece.

“Spain is the star performer among the larg-

est eurozone countries, with the PMI signalling another 1% GDP growth spurt in the third quarter,” said Chris Williamson, Markit’s Chief Economist. But France is still lagging behind the bloc’s largest countries, with new data showing its economy staggering back into stagnation.

August’s PMI reading came in at just 50.6, down from 52 in July, with employment, new business, and prices remaining under-par.

Mr Williamson added: “Policy-makers have little scope for complacency as slower growth in the emerging markets and recent financialmarket volatility, as well as a stronger euro, have the potential to hit the economy’s performance in coming months.”

Glittering line-up for new Starmus Festival

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Roundabout way to park THERE are a few things our Spanish cousins struggle with. They can never say or spell the name John, a minute can be any length of time and they have no idea, not a Scooby, on how to use a roundabout.

The problem with the latter is the way they are taught. The instructors tell the rookies to use the outside lane always because the inside lane is, and I quote an instructor who once told me, “just for the emergency vehicles.”

I know!

Also, they cannot park. Well, that’s not strictly true as, technically, stopping the car and putting on a brake

is parking. No, they have no respect for the parking laws. Double Parking is a national pastime.

And as for junctions?

They’re just parking spaces that haven’t been decriminalised yet.

Every day, I see headshaking examples of the disregard motorists have for the laws. Look at the picture here. It’s genuinely ridiculous!

Two cars parked and blocking both parts of a junction when there are clearly parking spaces to be had.

Since we cannot change the attitude, at least we can have a laugh. So please take a picture of the worst parking you see, send it to me and I will print the best.

Don’t get mad, get clicking!

PHYSICIST Stephen Hawking will present the third Starmus Festival, to be held in Tenerife next year. And the world-famous British scientist will be here to launch the event officially later this month.

The festival, in which science, music and art combines, will be unveiled by the professor, who arrives in Tenerife on 20th September. The presentation of the new

Starmus, along with its founder and director, Garik Isarelian, takes place a day later.

The 2016 Starmus Festival runs from 27th June to 2nd July and at the presentation, the organisation will announce the presence of 12 Nobel Prize winners there, under the slogan “Beyond the Horizon - Tribute to Stephen Hawking”.

It has also been confirmed that evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and Astronomy Professor Steven Balbus, head of astrophysics at the University of Oxford, will also be in attendance.

Prof Balbus was recognised in 2013 with the Shaw Prize in Astronomy, considered the most honourable award in this discipline, for his contribution to science.

Also at next year’s Festival will be Brian E. Cox, Professor of Physics of the University of Manchester.

Nobel laureates whose presence has been confirmed are Eric Betzig and Harold Kroto (Chemistry 1996 and 2014, respectively); biologists Carol Greider and Elizabeth Blackburn (Medicine shared in 2009) plus Robert Wilson and David Gross (Physics in 1978 and

2004 respectively). Other Nobel Prize winners are Adam Riess and Brian Schmidt (shared Physics in 2011), and married couple Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser (both Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine in 2014).

Astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson, Kip Thorne, Martin Rees, Jill Tarter, Robert Williams and physicist Neil Turok, as well as astronauts Michael LopezAlegria, Garrett Reisman, Chris Hadfield and Rusty Schweickart, plus cosmonaut Sergey Volkov, will also participate in the third Starmus Festival.

Home prices are looking upward THE price of housing rose 3.6% in the Canary Islands from April to the end of June, compared with the same period last year.

That puts it just 0.4% under the 4% national average, according to the Housing Price Index (HPI).

In relation to the year’s first quarter, the Canaries was the sixth community in which index rose the most, with Madrid leading the way.

By type of housing, the

price of existing homes rose 5% in the second quarter in the annual rate, the fourth-largest rise again after Balearic Islands, (7.4%), Madrid (5.9%) and Cataluña (5.5%).

Compared with the previous quarter, the price of second-hand apartments soared 5.5% in Cantabria, surpassed only by Cataluña (5.8%) and Madrid (5.7%).

Meanwhile, new Canaries housing prices rose 5.7% in annual terms - the fourth-largest increase after Madrid (8.4%), Balearic Islands (7.8%) and Andalusia (6.2%).

On the mainland, the cost of private housing rose 4% in the second quarter against the corresponding 2014 period, increasing by 2½ points on this year’s first quarter to 5%.

It means that this is the fifth consecutive quarter in which housing prices have recorded positive annual rates, following six years of annual declines.

By housing types, the price of new homes rose 4.9% compared with the second quarter of 2014, expanding by nearly one point in the yearly increase of the previous quarter.

It is the largest annual increase experienced by the price of new housing from the second quarter of 2008, when it rose 5.3%.

Meanwhile, the price of existing homes rose 3.8% in the second quarter against the same 2014 period, representing 2.7 points more than in the first quarter.

Quarter on quarter (second quarter over the first quarter of 2015), the price of private housing rose 4.2% after falling 0.6% in the first quarter. This is the highest rate for two years.

Extra deaths - but fewer traffic woes SUMMER deaths on Spanish roads have increased for first time since 2006, yet the number of traffic victims has dropped drastically since late Eighties.

The total death toll from road accidents this summer was 225 five more than last year, according to Spain’s DGT traffic authority figures.

The number bucks a downward trend that

began in 2006, when 542 people lost their lives on the road.

In 1989, 1,378 people died in crashes,even though there were significantly fewer vehicles on the roads at the time Overall, though, road deaths have dropped drastically in Spain since the Eighties.

New highways in recent decades has contributed to this fall, and most of the deaths continue to happen secondary roads, with one lane per traffic direction.

Asked about the reason for the slight rise in

fatalities this summer, DGT Director General María Seguí Gómez said there were also more road journeys.

Some 81 million longdistance trips were made in July and August this year, a 3.4% rise on the same period in 2014.

Around 27% of deaths occurred on road stretches already identified by the DGT as being particularly dangerous.

Ageing vehicles may have played a role as well, said Seguí. In 2014, motor vehicles involved

in fatal crashes were 10.2 years old on average, while this year the average was 11.7.

Seguí also stressed that, “unbelievable as it may sound” in this day and age, 30 of the victims who died in cars or vans were not wearing seat belts.

In the case of motorcycles and scooters, four of them were not even wearing a safety helmet. And two of the five cyclists who died this summer were also riding without head protection.

Driving under the influ-

ence was another cause of traffic deaths, said the DGT chief. During a seven-day campaign in August, 478 drivers tested positive for drugs, representing 34.8% of all tests.

In an interesting experiment, Seguí has offered Spanish footballers a chance to work on their driving style to set a good example for other people.

Ms Seguí made the offer after being asked about Antonio Amaya, a Rayo Vallecano player who was arrested after being caught at speeds

of 234km/h on a stretch of the Madrid road M-301, where the limit is 100km/h.

“We need to keep being rigorous in our law enforcement, both in administrative and penal terms,” she said.

“We must treat everyone alike, regardless of whether they are a soccer player from this or that team.”

Seguí offered the Rayo Vallecano chief “a chance for his players to come get a little bit of training and road-safety education, which is always welcome.”

Muslim women targeted for London hate crimes The wettest August yet

LAST month was the wettest August in the Canary Islands for 99 years, since records began in the Izana Atmospheric Observatory.

And it was chilly well, for here anyway!

The average daily temperature was three degrees Celsius below the norm.

The month was deemed “very interesting” from a meteorological view by Spanish Met office AEMET. The anomaly in the maximum temperatures made it the third coldest August for nearly 100 years. We have to go back to 1956 to find lower average temperatures for that month.

However, AEMET says was actually extraordinary because

of the rainfall pattern.

The accumulated total was 87.3 litres/sq.m, which was the wettest August ever - easily surpassing the previous record of 56.6 litres/ sq.m in 2005.

The AEMET also notes that August is usually a very dry month: in 70% of cases, precipitation is zero, and the average amount for the period 1981-2010 is just 5 litres/sq.m.

All the rain last month was accumulated in the 10th-17th week, with most of the rainfall concentrated between 13-14th. The first day saw 49.4 litres/ sq.m measured, so the maximum daily precipitation record, previously recorded in 2005, was equalled in just 24 hours.

LONDON’s hate crimes against Muslims have risen by 70% in the past year, according to Met Police statistics. And it is claimed that women are the main targets.

Figures for the 12 months up to July showed 816 Islamophobic crimes, compared with 478 for the previous 12-month period.

And Tell MAMA, an organisation which monitors such attacks, told Inside Out London that women wearing face veils were victims of more “aggressive incidents”.

The Met Police define Islamophobic crime as any offence intended to affect those known or perceived to be Muslim. Reported incidents ranged from cyber-bullying and assaults to extreme violence.

One of the highest increases was recorded in Merton, south-west London, with a 263% increase – from eight incidents in the year to July 2014 up to 29 in the subsequent period.

Westminster was named as having the highest number of in-

cidents during 2014-15 with 54 Islamophobic crimes, according to Scotland Yard’s figures.

Fiyaz Mughal, director of the Tell MAMA organisation, said: “We realised that, at street level, Muslim women who were visible and wore the Hijab or the headscarf, were suffering more targeted abuse.

“We also realised quite early on that women who wear Niqab, the face veil, suffered more aggressive incidents there was something about the face veil that, in a way, brought out the worst in the

perpetrator.” The Tell MAMA charity said female victims often avoided contacting the police because they feared it could make matters worse.

The Met Police does not have a breakdown of the gender of victims of Islamophobic crime but said they believed the overall increase in attacks were down to “improved methods of recording crime”.

Cdr Mak Chishty, said: “There are a number of reasons why Muslim women are targeted more than men. Their physical attire obviously says they are Muslim,

they are normally by themselves or with children, and the cowardice shown by perpetrators is that it is easier to attack a women with children than it is a man.”

Joni Clark, a Muslim convert and motherof-two, is moving her family from Penge, in south-East London, to Whitechapel in East London, after suffering several Islamophobic incidents.

“I receive abuse every single day,” she said.

“The attacks affect my children deeply and I fear for their safety, so I feel I have no choice but to move.”

Gay cops’ uniform wedding TWO gay policemen getting married in Spain were determined to make it a standout occasion ... so they dressed in full uniform!

Photos of the couple, known as Chema and Jonathan in the Spanish media, have gone viral online in what is understood to be a world first.

Chema told Spanish radio station Canal Sur that his wedding day was “not something that should be hidden, just because you belong to a particular institution”.

He added: “If it helps someone who is being bullied in school for his sexual orientation to see it as something normal, then that’s great.”

The couple were spliced last weekend in Jerez de la Frontera, a Cadiz province in Andalucia. They planned to travel across the US, from Seattle to San Diego, for their honeymoon.

Spain, which paved the way for gay rights, this year celebrated the 10th anniversary of its own legalisation of equal marriage.

Just like Stonehenge, but it’s even grander BURIED remains of an extraordinary neolithic monument have been unearthed, just a mile from Stonehenge. And it could be unique.

Scientists who discovered this larger version of Stonehenge, close to the site of the famous Wiltshire stone monument, believe it was built about 4,500 years ago.

The Durrington Walls “superhenge” is larger than Stonehenge and may include as many as 90 large stones. They lined an arena probably used for religious ceremonies or solstice rituals.

Scientists, using ground-penetrating radar on Salisbury Plain, found the stones lying on their sides, buried under three feet of earth.

Some of them are nearly 15ft long and were originally placed along the south-eastern edge of the circular enclosure. which measured nearly one mile wide. That makes it the country’s largest earthwork of its kind.

The stones may not always have been part of the henge, having possibly been toppled over before being incorporated into it. But experts say it would not have been an act of vandalism but an attempt to save whatever was thought to be important about the stone.

Professor Vince Gaffney, from the University of Bradford, said the “truly remarkable” find was the most important to emerge so far from the Hidden Landscapes project, which is mapping previously unknown archaeological features buried in the Wiltshire countryside.

Prof Gaffney, one of those leading the project, added: “We’re looking at one of the largest stone monuments in Europe, and it has been under our noses for something like 4,000 years.

“We don’t think there’s anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. This is completely new and the scale is extraordinary.”

Such monuments, he felt, were designed to “impress and impose” and “to give the idea of authority to the living and the dead”.

Dr Nick Snashall, National Trust archaeologist for the Avebury and Stonehenge World Heritage Site, said: “These latest results have produced tantalising evidence of what lies beneath the ancient earthworks at Durrington Walls.

“The presence of what appear to be stones, surrounding the site of one of the largest Neolithic settlements in Europe, adds a whole new chapter to the Stonehenge story.”

Our health services are at rock-bottom FROM bad to worse. That’s the diagnosis from the Federation of Associations for the Defence of Public Health (FADSP) regarding health services in the Archipelago.

Its latest report, released this week, placed the Canary Islands as the Spain’s worst region. Between 2009 and 2014, the Archipelago remained in the penultimate ranking position, above Valencia, but now we’re at the bottom of the health league.

The FADSP has been carrying out studies on the health situation in communities for more than a decade.

Its initial objective was to evaluate the differences in regional health systems after completion of health transfers to all regions in 2001.

And to gauge how these transfers had increased inequality in healthcare access.

The crisis, however, transformed the purpose of this study, which now measures the inequality caused by spending cuts.

Since 2009, public health services have lost between 15 and 21 billion

euros in Spain, reveals the Federation. These cuts have occurred in all autonomy, but its intensity has varied greatly from one to another.

Today, the Basque Country and Navarre have the best health care, although in the past year there has been a “widespread deterioration”.

Marciano Sánchez, FADSP spokesman, this week discussed the poor performance in Madrid and said of the Canarias:

“To provide the same care to the citizens of the Canary Islands is more expensive than in Madrid or the Basque Country, which are small communities with better communication.”

The FADSP study considers parameters such as waiting lists, per capital spending, the number of beds and professionals, the number of operating rooms, caesareans, pharmaceutical expenditure and people assessment.

Small school such a big target for many parents FOR some it was their first time, and for others the official end of the summer.

But everyone was nervous: some had no desire to leave their mothers, and most because they were eager to swap holiday adventures with their classmates.

More than 163,000 students returned to school in the Canaries this week, including 223 pupils in Central and Primary Education (CEIP) at Isabel La Catolica, a small school in the capital which, thanks to its philosophy based on participation, has become a reference.

Many parents - firsttimers and the advantaged - each year try to get a spot there for their children.

Some 35 years ago, the school was about to close its doors and become a community centre.

Since then, various management

teams at the forefront have struggled to build an identity that distinguishes the school.

Teachers who come are aware the involvement is essential. And proof of them succeeding is that each year, some 20 three-yearolds, from more than 110 applications by parents, are offered places.

Some pre-registrations are for the first course of children, but others come with the hope that one child from another course has been transferred to another facility and leave his/her spot.

School director Samuel Diaz is convinced that the factor distinguishing the Isabel La Catolica over other schools is the relationship with families.

They conduct numerous workshops and activities and, also, always have a flexible schedule. They have nocturnal nativity scenes and sports activities that go on throughout the morning and afternoon, and they allow parents to sign up to school visits.

The goal is always the same: that the school community is formed

not only by students and teachers, but by families as well because they are considered of equal importance.

For that reason, the school holds early reception services and permanence, despite the cuts.

Before the crisis, this was free for all families who required it. Now, though, it represents an additional cost for parents. Grants from the PTA cannot defray these costs, but they help.

In these times of crisis, it is difficult for some families to cope with more costs. Many parents recognise that their children’s entry there makes education more expensive because much of material can not be reused.

“Three books represent 82 euros,” says Luz Mercedes Dorta, President of non-profitmaking parents’ organisation AMPA. “For another two they will use photocopies.”

In more advanced courses, says another mother, online books can be cheaper.

But it still leaves a hefty summer bill for many parents.

It’s just another day for a record-breaking Monarch

IT was typical of Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday, when she became the UK’s longestserving monarch, that she expected it to be “business as usual”.

And it was, to an extent, even though millions of Brits were celebrating her incredible 63 years and 216 days on the throne, overtaking her great-greatgrandmother Queen Victoria.

In fact, the hard-working Monarch made a short speech acknowl-

edging the milestone when she opened a new railway in Scotland.

But even the Royal Family described as a day like any other.

Buckingham Palace officials say Queen Victoria’s reign spanned 23,226 days, 16 hours and 23 minutes, and it was thought that

Queen Elizabeth II surpassed that at around 5.30pm. But even top statisticians could not pinpoint it precisely because the exact moment of the death of her father, King George VI, is not known.

The Queen arrived in Tweedbank station from Edinburgh after spending some hours on a steam train on the newly-opened £294m Borders Railway.

She then spoke to hundreds of people,

UK oil jobs disappear as prices keep sliding

SOME 65,000 UK jobs have been lost following the collapse of oil prices, according to an industry study. And there’s worse to come for the North Sea.

The research, revealed in an annual economic report by trade association Oil & Gas UK, calculated that 6,000 front-line roles had gone, along with 30,000 in the direct industry supply chain.

The rest were jobs that benefited from the sector, meaning there had been a 15% drop in the entire employment

spectrum associated with the oil industry since 2013.

Oil & Gas UK said it was clear that further jobs were at risk, with oil costs having lost more than 50% of their value since last year, leaving Brent Crude at a current price of around $49 (£31.95) per barrel.

Deirdre Michie, the company’s chief executive, said: “This great industry of ours is facing very challenging times.

“Last year, more was spent than was earned from production - a situation which has been exacerbated by the continued fall in commodity prices.

“This is not sustainable, and investors are hard-pressed to commit investment here because of cash constraints.”

She added: “Exploration for new resources has fallen to its lowest level since the Seventies and, with so few new projects gaining approval, capital investment is expected to drop, from £14.8bn in 2014, by £2.4bn in each of the next three years.

Difficult decisions have had to be made across the industry.”

One potential response is rival companies agreeing to pool their North Sea assets to help keep costs down and ensure the

fields’ viability.

The Times reported that senior figures from majors, including BP and Shell, would meet Government officials on the fringes of the Offshore Europe conference in Aberdeen on Wednesday for “crisis talks” and that such an arrangement was on the agenda.

The dramatic oil-price fall has been blamed on a glut in supply following a boom in the production of US shale oil and a lack of demand - mainly blamed on the economic slowdown affecting emerging markets, especially China.

Oil companies have responded by cutting jobs and investment worldwide.

including many schoolchildren, who had turned out to see her unveil a plaque.

Among those who accompanied her on the journey from the Scottish capital were the Duke of Edinburgh and Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland.

The Queen said: “Prince Philip and I are very grateful for the warmth of your welcome on this occasion.

“Many have kindly noted another significance attaching to today, although it is not one to which I have ever aspired. Inevitably, a longer life can pass by many milestones. My own is no exception.

“But I thank you all, and the many others at home and overseas, for your touching messages of great kindness.”

Earlier, Prime Minister David Cameron said: “Over the last 63 years, Her Majesty has been a rock of stability in a world of constant change.”

And Ms Sturgeon, speaking ahead of The Queen at Tweedbank Station, paid her own tribute to the Monarch, telling her: “We are privileged, Ma’am, that you have chosen to mark today’s milestone here. All of us are delighted to be able to share some of this special day with you. “”or those watching from around the world, let me say, on their be-

half, Ma’am, a simple but heartfelt thank you.”

The Queen went on to meet railway workers there as Philip trailed behind, taking a quick peek at the steam locomotive they travelled on.

There were no largescale events planned nationally to mark this historic day, and members of her family did not intend to celebrate the moment officially.

It is understood that it was partly out of respect for Queen Victoria, and also because large celebrations are being planned for Her Majesty’s 90th birthday next year.

To mark the occasion, Buckingham Palace arranged for The Queen’s latest portrait to be taken by renowned photographer Mary McCartney, eldest child of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, and his first wife, the late Linda McCartney.

Mary, who described Her Majesty as a “beacon for womankind”, captured her at work to mark the famous day.

And while Her Majesty was up in Scotland, delighting her audience, a quarter-peal was rung at 11.30am for a full 50 minutes at Westminster Abbey.

Ministers then paid homage to Her Royal Highness in the Commons, followed by a Royal River Salute at noon.

Lorries face ban without gear to safeguard riders LONDON is the first British city to ban lorries lacking the necessary equipment to protect cyclists and pedestrians.

All lorries over 3.5 tons driven through the capital must now be fitted with guards at the side to help prevent cyclists being dragged under wheels in the event of an accident.

They must also have a special type of mirror to help the driver spot bicycle riders and those on foot.

Drivers who do not have the equipment fitted will be fined up to £1,000. And drivers or hauliers who offend several times risk losing their operating licence.

No fewer than eight cyclists have been killed in road accidents this year, seven of which involved Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs).

London Mayor Boris Johnson, introducing the new approach on Tuesday, said he had instigated the change after meeting the relatives of those killed on the roads.

“I have, on several occasions, met the families of victims, had to try to comfort them, had to try to explain what we’re doing,” he added.

“It’s very, very affecting.

“We are conscious that in encouraging cycling, we have to make it safer, and we think that over the past five years, the safer lorry zone would have obviated about 12 deaths or serious injuries. And today’s scheme will undoubtedly save lives.”

Mr Johnson also wants all lorries to be retrofitted with bigger side windows to cut blind spots for drivers.

But he also acknowledged that cyclists had their part to play, saying: “Cyclists need to

behave responsibly, and they need to alert drivers to their presence.

“Lorry drivers have been responsible for some of the most serious accidents, but very often, I’m afraid to say, it wasn’t necessarily entirely their fault.”

The new lorry rules will operate 24 hours a day and cover every road in the capital, except motorways.

Representatives for the haulage industry said the sum being spent on launching the scheme could be better spent on enforcing previous guidelines.

Natalie Chapman, head of policy for London at the Freight Transport Association (FTA), said: “We believe that this kind of blunt regulatory tool is not the best way to improve cyclist safety.

“We still think that the money and effort invested in this scheme would have been better spent

on increased enforcement against the small proportion of lorries that don’t comply with existing regulations.

There are better ways to achieve safer roads for all users.”

One cycling campaign group called for lorries

to be given “direct vision cabs” with lower seating positions to give drivers a “view of pedestrians and cyclists”.

Pet cockatiels in clover T H I R T Y-T W O cockatiels, owned by a Manhattan millionairess, have been left an astonishing $100,000 (£66,000) in a trust fund by the American.

Leslie Ann Mandel’s will states that her beloved pets should “continue to live in the aviary” at her $4m New York home in East Hampton, according to the New York Post.

The will also insists the birds’ aviary must be cleaned every Monday and Thursday, and that they should be fed, carrots water and

popcorn. In the legal papers, she even listed each of the birds: Wheetie, Port, Blackie, Zippy, Tara, Zara, Shasha, Pigeon, Victory, Alie, Zack 12, Dart, Cubby, Max, Baby, Ruthie, Pumpkin, Tattoo, Susie, Tracy, Margie, Sammy, Angel, Inky, Sara, Tundra, Tanteleah, Eva, Cody, Nicki, Avis and Dragon.

Ms Mandel, who was married to sci-fi author Arthur Herzog, named her stepson, Matthew Herzog, as trustee of the fund, which will also care for a cat named Kiki and a rescue dog named Frosty.

The direct-mail entrepreneur, died in June at the age of 69 after amassing a $5.3m fortune.

Business / Legal Matters

By Laura Mann

of Blacktower Financial Management (International) Limited.

IF, unlike many of our clients, you did not transfer your Teacher´s, NHS, or any other unfunded Public Sector Pension away from the UK, before 5th April this year, you will have been informed that all transfers away from these types of pensions have now ceased.

Let´s be very clear about the Government’s reasons for closing this loophole.

Consider the possibility that all members who have provision in these types of pension pots wish to transfer out.

And there are several reasons why somebody would see the benefit in this, including flexibility in accessing your fund, passing on your pot to your beneficiaries, etc.

Bear in mind, for example, that a 10-year pot will amount to around £80,000, so you can imagine the scale of monies HMRC envisage leaving the confines of the UK - a scary thought!

Now we begin to understand the reason for removing the ability

11th September - 17th September 2015

It’s not too late! to choose what YOU want to do with YOUR pension if you are no longer bound by the UK rules!

Interestingly, however, the transfer ban does not apply if a transfer is made to a non-occupational scheme, which is in the European Economic Area. Therefore, it may be possible still to put YOUR pension where it will be most effective for YOU. A note on the Teachers’ scheme website says: “Teachers’ Pensions are writing to members whose application to discharge their benefits to such a scheme was received

by Teachers’ Pensions on or after 6th April 2015.

“The letter will include new discharge forms and will ask members to complete and return the discharge paperwork if they still wish to proceed with the transfer.”

The note adds that if members still want to proceed with a transfer, they must do so before the Treasury takes action to close the loophole.

A Treasury spokeswoman confirms that it is working on rule changes to extend the transfer ban. But as yet, we do not know when these changes will take place. It says: “We are clear that the transfer restrictions from unfunded public service pension schemes should apply

to transfers to Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes, including those based in the European Economic Area.”

In July, HMRC cut thousands of schemes from its ROPS’ (Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme) list of overseas plans, following rule changes that disqualify schemes with early access mechanisms.

There are, however, still many ROPS plans available.

Alternatively, if you´re unsure about transferring your plan out of the UK, and this is perfectly understandable, there are other alternative UK-based SIPP schemes which, in many cases, can prove beneficial.

If you are an expat, and have a non-funded Public Sector Pension in the UK and are not sure about the best route for you, ask an expert free, no obligation, no consultation fee. And if your pension would be better left where it is, you´ll be the first to know about it.

Please note: HMRC are attempting to close this loophole so the above information may not be applicable to all transfers.

New law for Spanish wills, but are you fully covered?

By John Hatrick

THE European Union has introduced a new Regulation 650/2012, which came into force on 17th August and applies to the Wills and succession of any individual who dies after that date.

This new law was introduced to harmonise the administration of Wills of European citizens.

Its primary purpose is to avoid a situation in which different, and potentially-conflicting, laws are applied to an individual’s Will(s) in different European countries,where he or she might hold assets.

When a foreigner made a Will in Spain, prior to the new legislation, the authorities would not actually apply Spanish law upon death.

Instead, they would adopt the law of the individual’s relevant country of nationality (England, Scotland, Ireland, etc), as required

by Article 9 of the Spanish Civil Code. So what has now changed? In a nutshell, individuals are now required to expressly state in all their Wills that they wish for their law of nationality to apply.

If they fail to do so, then any Wills they leave in any European Union country must be administered under the law of the country in which the individual was habitually resident at the date of death.

For example, if an individual is English and leaves separate Wills governing his assets in England and in Spain, and if those Wills do not specify which country’s laws are to apply, then the question will be where the individual was habitually resident at the date of death.

Should that be in England, then English law must be applied. However, if the individual was resident in Spain, then Spanish law must apply.

For people who spend considerable time in Spain, or who envisage spending more time there in the future, this could have serious

implications for their Will(s).

If Spanish law ends up being applied, this can have a rather unexpected outcome, namely that the assets of the deceased must be divided between certain family members in fixed shares.

Such rules of division also over-ride anything to the contrary written in the Will. In most cases, it is impossible to circumvent those rules.

For certainty and peace of mind, foreigners resident in Spain, or who spend considerable time there, are strongly advised to review or update their Wills now.

That will ensure that their assets are be left in accordance with their wishes, and not in accordance with fixed government rules.

Iran gas to EU via Spain?

IRAN is hoping to sell its gas to the European Union by shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Spain, according to the country’s Iran’s oil minister.

Bijan Zanganeh said at Monday’s news conference in Tehran alongside Jose Manuel Sori, Spain’s Energy Minister: “Talks between Iran and Spain on this topic

will continue.”

Iran is unable to freeze its gas into LNG for tanker exports beyond the reach of pipelines.

Several projects stalled because of Western sanctions,which forced foreign companies to withdraw from Iran.

But experts believe it will take around two years for that to happen, even if partners are found.

Soria, part of a Spanish delegation to Tehran, said his country could “act as a channel

for Iran’s gas exports to Europe”.

But he did not elaborate, and the Ministry in Madrid declined to confirm the comment.

There are several problems with importing Iranian LNG into Spain, including a major one: underdeveloped pipeline links with other European countries which, effectively, make Spain a gas island and hardly a gateway to Europe.

Work to expand pipe connections between France and Spain have

been hamstrung for years, and complicated by mountainous terrain, although there have been recent signs of progress.

Sanctions on Iran may be lifted in 2016 under the terms of a nuclear deal struck in July, but it will take years for Iran to start exporting LNG. Analyst Moses Rahnama, at London’s Energy Aspects consultancy, said: “Firstly, Iran has to bring in new firms, and from there it’s going to

take about two years before they can start exporting.”

And other analysts say Iran has already lost out to Gulf rival Qatar on lucrative LNG exports in Asia, where customers pay the highest prices. That means that Tehran has to look to Europe.

The EU hopes to import gas from Iran, which has some of the world’s largest reserves, to reduce its dependence on Russia.

But even after sanc-

tions are lifted, the lack of export infrastructure will delay plans.

The most feasible route for Iranian gas to Europe would be via Turkey - already a customer - although the existing Tabriz-Ankara pipeline would not be big enough for major exports.

Iran has long lobbied to build a designated pipeline to connect its huge South Pars gas field - the so-called Persian Pipeline - with European customers.

It Was Alright in the 1980s Channel 4, 21:00

Narrated by Matt Lucas, this new series looking at different decades in TV continues with the 1980s. With jaw-dropping clips and a range of bemused, amused and just plain horrified reactions, this series revisits the television of the past. The 80s was a time of revolution on the small screen: from breakfast TV to breaking boundaries, a brand new channel shaking it up, to the anxieties of being a girl or a boy in a scary world of big changes, bid ideas and even bigger hair. The 80s was the decade in which men could co-habit with sea lions without raising eyebrows; when children’s TV became a parade of lingerie displays; aggressive poets bombarded us with right-on performance art; and gay men and women came out on TV to shock their friends.

Time Crashers Channel 4, 20:00

Sir Tony Robinson presents the six-part immersive history series that sees 10 famous faces leave the 21st century behind and crash-land into different moments in British history. In the fourth episode, it’s 1796 and the celebrities are Georgian farm workers.

The men must ensure the farm and animals are scrubbed and spotless ready for a visit from the Viscount owner.

Countdown To Life: The Extraordinary Making c h oice Of You BBC2, 21.00

Episode one, The First 8 Weeks, tells the story of the first eight weeks – when a single cell, no bigger than a speck of dust, transforms into the most sophisticated organism on the planet. A human foetus. A series of make-or-break moments show us how every single part of our bodies was built. This is when everything about who you are hangs in the balance - when the layout of our organs is determined, when our heart makes its first beat, and when the length of our lives could be decided. Told through a series of surprising, moving and inspirational human stories, we discover how the journey to becoming a human being is a rollercoaster ride where anything can and does happen.

The clock starts with the moment of conception - but days after, our story can take the most unexpected turn. Holly, Jessica, Ellie and Georgie are the 1 in 64 million: identical quads whose lives changed forever when they were a clump of a few hundred cells. For reasons no-one can really explain the connections binding their cells were mysteriously broken and four clumps of cells started to behave independently from the rest. Then, against the odds, they each went on to form four entirely separate young lives.

As early as the very first week of life, our destiny is already being shaped in the most profound way possible. In a remote region of Gambia, an extraordinary 70-year-long study has been looking into the seasonal effects of life expectancy - and it’s thrown up some shocking results.

But this is only the beginning of this unbelievable time in our lives: around day 15, cells start to change, turning from one cell type into the 350 different cells of the human body. It’s a vital moment, but if it goes wrong, the consequences can be profound.

Barely half way through our eight weeks and it’s the next major milestone. This is when our growth genes have to switch on. Most of our characteristics are determined equally by the genes we inherit from our mum and dad, but our growth genes behave differently depending on which parent they come from. Our mother’s genes are designed to keep us small, while our father’s genes want to make the biggest baby they can. Most of time, this results in the perfect-sized baby, but sometimes one parent’s genes can take over. It’s in weeks four and five that the intricate design and layout of the body starts to take shape. But once again, it’s dependent on a series of critical moments that have to happen perfectly. The position of all our internal organs are dependent on just a few tiny hair-like motors called Cilia - and the direction they spin. But if they don’t spin in the right direction the implications can be huge. This is a time of the most rapid change and development; each moment along the way is one more piece of the jigsaw bringing us closer to becoming human. But the transformation to human foetus isn’t complete until the eighth week, when our hands and feet begin to emerge. It starts around 38 days, when cells within two flattened paddles at the end of each limb start to die away. A vital protein called sonic hedgehog sets the position for the fingers to grow - but too much of this protein expressed in the wrong place can lead to an extra finger growing. In Brazil we meet the Da Silva family. Of the 22 members of the family, 14 have six fingers on each hand. But far from worrying about their unusual appearance, they are embracing it. And family members without an extra finger actually feel left out.

By the eighth week, all the critical structures that make up our uniquely human form are in place. However we made it through our first eight weeks, we all did it in our own unique way. But we are all shaped by this most extraordinary time in our lives - a time that continues to affect us all from our first breath to our very last.

W C c h oice All Change At Longleat BBC1, 21.00 A revealing new series that goes behind the scenes at one of Britain’s most extraordinary aristocratic estates. Lord Bath has handed control of the £190 million estate to his eldest son Ceawlin. But challenges lie ahead, as he and his newly-titled wife Emma take on a staff of hundreds, two villages and a safari park, along with the enormous Elizabethan family mansion.

In this episode, the handover gets off to a difficult start. In the village on the estate, there’s unrest after rent rises on the estate. Meanwhile Emma settles into her new life as Lady Weymouth. She now has the run of the 130-room historic house - but she must get used to sharing her home with a daily stream of visitors.

Over in the safari park, the animal keepers watch the family from afar, and wonder how Ceawlin will compare to his father. Lord Bath is a flamboyant, controversial figure. Although now in retirement, he continues to enjoy a famously open marriage. Various ‘wifelets’ still visit when his wife is away.

Jimmy Doherty, Kate Quilton and Matt Tebbutt continue their mission to uncover the surprising truth about the food we eat. Tonight, Jimmy travels to Spain to meet an entrepreneur who is gambling vast sums of money on the seemingly impossible - farming critically endangered blue fin tuna. With just one of these giant fish selling for a record £1million in January, the rewards could be sky high.

Could this critically endangered fish be making a comeback? Kate investigates why the ice cream in your freezer can sometimes go a bit gritty way ahead of the Best Before date - and discovers the incredible lengths some ice cream makers go to in keeping their products as smooth as a fresh jar of skippy.

Meanwhile, Matt asks what the difference is between the supermarkets’ premium and budget ranges of frozen peas, and discovers that failing to get peas from field to freezer in time can cost farmers a fortune.

The Gamechangers BBC2, 21.00

This 90-minute factual drama goes behind the scenes of the hit video game Grand Theft Auto, arguably the greatest British coding success since Bletchley Park.

In Autumn 2013, the game’s latest iteration – GTA: V – earned $1bn in just three days, becoming the fastestselling entertainment product in history. But this drama goes back to 2002, to tell the story of a three-year period of intense controversy in the history of this iconic game’s development. It happened when two passionate men on either side of a high-stakes cultural divide clashed. This conflict, between the creative genius behind the game and a self-styled crusader for American morality, escalated into a fight for the hearts, minds and freedoms of an entire gaming generation.

The fastest-selling entertainment product in history comes not from Silicon Valley, but is driven by a bunch of British game designers. Friends since their school days, they are led by the game’s mastermind-designer, Sam Houser. By 2002, Sam and his creative team have constructed for their fans a vast virtual world, teeming with a high-octane mix of criminal characters, lethal weapons and outrageous storylines. Here you can even shape and sculpt your avatar, crafting their character and appearance to your personal preference. Within this fantasy landscape, some players choose to take part in a series of dangerous missions, while others become immersed in a sprawling criminal underworld, killing cops, hijacking cars and running over pedestrians. And it’s this that increasingly drives opposition to GTA. Because the game’s violent gameplay leads to fierce opposition: from parents worried about its impact on children; from politicians, fearful of its influence; and, above all, from campaigners fighting to prevent the game being played by minors.

At the vanguard of this crusade is the formidable Christian lawyer Jack Thompson, a man determined to do whatever he can to stop the relentless rise of the game and its influence on children. The Gamechangers tells the story of how British game designers pushed boundaries into uncharted territory, of how those fighting GTA became consumed by a battle which overwhelmed their lives, and how the subsequent fallout threatened to bring down leading players on both sides.

Parking Wars ITV1, 20.00

Campaigners including an expolitical reporter, a bed-and-breakfast owner and a 97-year-old ballet teacher air their views on the issue of where drivers can park in modern-day Britain, where CCTV cameras and armies of enforcers ensure spaces are kept clear of illegally parked motors.

Cameras follow enforcers from authorities in Hampshire, Herefordshire and Yorkshire carrying out their jobs - dishing out tickets and fining motorists on high streets and in car parks.

They deal with more 21,000 parking disputes a year from everyday motorists fighting to have their fines withdrawn. With exclusive access to courts around the country, the series sees drama unfold as drivers come face to face with lawyers who decide whether to let them off or not.

Parking Wars also features footage captured by members of the public on their mobile phones as the civil enforcement officers patrol the streets and receive an increasing amount of abuse.

The Sound of ITV: The Nation’s Favourite c h oice Theme Tunes ITV1, 20.00

As ITV turns 60, this one-hour special celebrates six decades of the greatest musical compositions that have featured in the channel’s best-loved television series.

From Morse and Tales Of The Unexpected to The Avengers and Thunderbirds, these ITV favourites have provided viewers with some of the most memorable TV soundtracks of the last 60 years.

The Sound of ITV reveals the stories behind 20 of these iconic pieces of music, and pays tribute to the writers and performers who brought them to the small screen.

The programme includes interviews from stars such as Chris Tarrant (Who Wants To Be A Millionaire), Dennis Waterman (Minder, The Sweeney) and William Roache (Coronation Street), as well as the musical maestros responsible for television theme tune classics, including Christopher Gunning (Poirot), Simon Park (Van Der Valk) and Tony Hatch (Emmerdale).

Brighton police station.

From the station commander to detectives, beat officers to front desk staff – three hundred and fifty officers battle to keep the peace in one of Britain’s most vibrant cities.

At a city centre shopping arcade, Ami deals with a toddler found wandering alone in the street. Across the city, Sergeant Steve French leads a team of detectives on a brothel raid where he suspects several Romanian girls may have been trafficked.

Frontline Fighting: The Brits Battling Isis Channel 4, 22:00

This extraordinary film, shot entirely by three former soldiers, follows British men who have volunteered to fight Islamic State militants in Syria - providing unprecedented insight into the dangerous and brutal reality of ‘amateur’ fighting on the IS frontline. The British volunteers: Jac - a 22-year-old former IT worker from Bournemouth, Harry - a 28-year-old former currency trader from Battersea and Jim - a 40-year-old former soldier and peace activist from Stoke-onTrent are members of a band of volunteers known as the ‘Lions of Rojava’ who are supporting Kurdish forces in Syria. They spent several months earlier this year fighting in the north eastern part of Syria building up to a major operation, captured in this film, to clear IS out as far the Abdul Aziz mountain range.

Leo (Harry Hepple) and Judy (Rebecca Root) go to see an exhibition at the art gallery. They were expecting watercolours but end up viewing some provocative and surprising photographs instead which prompt Leo to quiz Judy about what exactly was involved when she transitioned.

And, more importantly, whether she is still able to have sex! Later, they go bowling and have a great time until two lads start querying Judy’s gender and generally trying to cause trouble. Judy tells Leo to ignore them - but the lads test her patience to the limit. Meanwhile, Peggy (Janine Duvitski) and Jackie (Lizzie Roper) pop in to visit Pam at the hair salon and decide to make a day of it.

It’s the spice of life

By Jamie Droo A WEEK has passed since nominees for the respective categories in the Tenerife Entertainment Awards were announced. And it is always a time of mixed emotion within the entertainment community.

Some take it in their stride, some take it all very seriously - and a few let it pass without a second thought!

The majority get fully involved, whether they are nominees themselves or just throwing their support behind their fellow entertainers.

There seems to be a shift in the promotion trends this year, and while a lot of nominees go about publicising the TEAs in their own way on social networks, a lot of people have decided to promote their chosen favourite.

It’s good to see this process evolve each year and now, there seems to be a more subtle approach to the way acts are seeking votes. It seems a lot less “me, me, me,” and more a “TEA, TEA, TEA,” the latter being the real essence of the whole event.

It puts the spotlight on our vibrant, varied entertainment scene, and underlines the way social networks connect it, promoting tourism here and the nightly free entertainment available, in 99% of cases.

It’s said that variety is the spice of life, and this year’s Best Variety category has plenty of spice.

Former multi-award winner Mr Sister, hugely popular in Tenerife with a huge following, is again in the running.

Many will say it’s the act to beat in this category, but that may not be the case. As I have already mentioned, the trend in promotion has shifted and quite a few people may be surprised at the results that this trend produces.

Also in the frame is

Roxy Risqué. Tony, who performs as Roxy, has been around the Island as a touring act as well as a resident act and also a bar owner.

The sweet transvestite, as Ms Risqué has become known, has built up a big reputation as a character performer over time, and has a big fan base of returning tourists, which actively seeks out venues where Roxy will be.

Another experienced entertainer in this field is Dave Michaels. He has again been nominated for best variety act. Dave has a wealth of experience here in Tenerife, and has worked in big productions like the pirate show at Castillio San Miguel - an excursion choice.

He has worked as a resident compere in many of the island’s cabaret bars and has also performed as a touring artiste. Dave has taken his experience from all of his various roles and put together several shows which demonstrate his ability to deliver variety.

Finally, Billy Porter makes up the quartet of nominees in this cat-

egory. This stand-up comedian, with his own unique style, never fails to fill the venues and always keeps the masses laughing from start to finish.

He is always on stage for almost 90 minutes and just seems to have a magic formula, creating great memories for everyone.

There are lots of good acts on the Island, but I believe this category is really strong and, certainly, contains the most experience.

Variety is so hard to deliver on stage and requires pace and quick thinking. The ability to adlib is always a bonus, too, and all the nominees can do this very well.

Another extremely tight category is Best Tribute.

The Blues Brothers show has been treading the Island’s boards for years, and has never struggled to fill the diary. In fact, it rarely has free slots to fill.

Paul and Mark, who perform as Jake and Elwood, could almost be a comedy duo. Each can deliver comedy as well as any comedian,

and they work so well together on stage. They have the duo thing down to a fine art.

As a solo artiste, you have just yourself to consider on stage, but a duo will hold an audience’s attention only if they work naturally together. These boys do a lot of adlib, yet each one seems to know what the other is thinking - and their timing is impeccable.

Keith George, an exceptional tribute act, works as Boy George.

His costume is as colourful as his personality on stage. Keith has the voice, and not only is he a good singer in his own right but he can turn on the tones to sound very much like Boy George himself.

It is always important to be able to connect with the audience in between songs, and Keith has the ability to engage his audience well in song and conversation.

Gary Barlow and Take That are still extremely popular, and Tony Kay has taken that popularity and created his own style from his tribute to the original Boy band.

Tony is, first and foremost, a performer and holds the qualities I have already mentioned. Tony, like Keith, really does sound like the artiste he is tributing and, from the onset of his show, it is apparent that the audience are immediately impressed with his ability to sound like Take That’s main man, Gary Barlow.

Finally, Luke Carey and Pip Brown are in the running with their Jersey Boys Show. I’ve

yet to see the full show, but I have no doubt it will be equally as good as the parts I have caught.

The Jersey Boys’ film documents the rise of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and most people who know this music will be aware of Valli’s incredible vocal ability. Falsetto is a vocal range many simply do not possess. But Pip and Luke have locked in to this and both have the skills to pull it off and wow the crowds.

This category is a tough one. The nominees are all very popular and have massive followings. I have my favourite, of whom I will remain silent, but I wish everyone all the best for the awards.

However, I truly believe that both categories mentioned this week are two of the toughest ones to call.

I can’t wait for the main ceremony, and to feel the anticipation as we find out who wins this year’s awards.

Restaurante Lupita, Parque de La Reina

quality food for just a few euros DO you enjoy eating out where the food is excellent and the prices unbelievable? Then you really must visit Restaurante Lupita, in Parque de La Reina, if you haven’t already sampled their extensive menu.

And if you have, then you will surely be heading that way again for another tasty treat.

If you fancy lunch, the three-course set menu starts from as little as 3,95 euros. Yes, 3,95! And it caters for just about everyone. You start with delicious soup, served up from a tureen, followed by eight maincourse choices, and topped off with coffee or ice-cream.

Menu 2 is 4,95 euros, with a starter choice

of soup or garlic bread, and then a selection of 13 main-courses, followed by coffee or icecream.

And if you really want to go mad on price, Menu 3 is a huge 5,95 euros, which includes

steak and pizza. It also has the two starter choices, polished off with a coffee - or the tastiest ice-cream.

These menus are for lunch-time only, but they are still available during the evening for a

whopping one euro extra!

We arrived at around 1.30pm and, already, the restaurant was full!

You can choose to sit out in the covered terrace, or there are tables inside. After browsing

the place mat, complete with the three menus, we went overboard and confined our selection to the most expensive 5.95-euro menu.

We chose one soup because you can share as a tureen is brought to the table and is almost a meal in itself. Oh, and there’s a piece of garlic bread each.

Soup of the day was mushroom, which really was lovely, and the gar-

lic bread was just as good!

For the main course we chose the BBQ Ribs which, honestly, was big enough for two people! This meal also included mixed veg, potatoes, chips galore or Canarian potatoes, and we went for the chips.

Apart from the value menus, there is also a main one, in which the super selection of meals reflects the dearer prices.

Lupita is on the street parallel to the main road through Parque de La Reina.

Restaurante Lupita is open from 1pm every day except Mondays, when it is closed. Call the restaurant on 922 739 250 for more details.

A-Z of healthy living, Part 1

By Nico Gil

of Activate Sports Club IN the first of a two-part series, I’ve put together my very own A to Z of Healthy Living.

A - Alcohol: A little is fine, even beneficial. A glass of wine or beer every now and then will do you no harm at all. But moderation is crucial with alcohol.

Bear in mind that alcohol is largely made up of sugar, and even a small glass of wine is around 150 calories, with no real nutritional benefit. Recommended guidelines are 21 units a week for men and 14 for women, with at least two alcohol-free days.

B - Breathing: We all know breathing is kind of essential if we want to stay alive, yet most of us never do it correctly.

Breaths that are too quick or too shallow both have a negative impact on the body, as insufficient levels of much-needed oxygen circulate round our bodies. Set aside a few minutes every day for some deep breathing,

inhaling and exhaling through the nose, and notice how much calmer you feel.

C - Caffeine: Found in chocolate, tea, Coke and, of course, coffee, has been demonised somewhat unfairly, especially in recent years. There is actually a series of benefits to caffeine consumption, including a lower risk of developing neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and type 2 diabetes.

We all have a different sensitivity to caffeine.

This is genetic: some people can sleep after an espresso, while others still feel the effects of their morning coffee in the late afternoon.

For healthy adults, 300400mg of caffeine can be consumed daily (five espressos).

However, as caffeine is a known stimulant, it increases heart rate as well as blood pressure.

Anyone with heart arrhythmias, murmurs or high blood pressure should limit or eliminate his/her caffeine intake.

D - Diet: There can’t be anyone out there who isn’t fully aware that we are what we eat. Some may choose to ignore it as they chomp on their fast-food, but the evidence is out there.

No matter how much sport we do, what we put on our plates and in our mouths determines how healthy we are, ultimately.

A balanced diet of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, with daily servings of fruit and vegetables, are the tools our body uses to function properly.

E - Exercise: It keeps our weight under control, makes us happier, reduces the chances of developing disease, increases energy levels, helps us sleep better and even improves our sex life. The list of reasons to engage in physical activity is endless. Aim for 30 minutes a day if possible.

F - Friends: We all enjoy spending time talking and laughing with friends. But there are actual medically-proven benefits to doing this as well! Surrounding ourselves with friends has a positive impact on our stress levels, can combat depression and increases our overall happiness.

Be sure to make a date with friends in your diary - it’s every bit as important as exercise and nutrition when it comes to creating a balanced life.

G- Goals: We all function better when we have

something concrete for which to aim. Set yourself some realistic goals and write them down, and do tell your family and friends about them.

Goals kept as a secret are much easier to ignore, so enlist the support of those around you to help you achieve them.

But please don’t fall into the trap of setting unrealistic targets because this will only discourage you from keeping going. You’re not going to lose 10kg and get an athlete’s body in a week. Be kind to yourself.

H - Happiness: This is the building block for a healthy life. If you’re not happy, nothing else will fall into place. No killer body or perfect diet can make up for a feeling of being content with who you are and what you have. Ask yourself the right questions – are you happy in your job? In your relationship? With your body?

If not, take control and decide which steps you can take towards becoming happier.

Nothing is more important than this.

I - Interval Training: Most people are aware of the benefits of interval training, in which you alternate

between bursts of high- and low-intensity exercise. These include increased fitness levels, quicker fat burning, less boredom during activity (so you’re more likely to stick to it) and, most importantly for some, you can reduce the time spent on exercise as you burn the same or even more calories in less time.

J - Juice: Freshlyprepared fruit and vegetable juices are packed with nutrients.

The concentrated blend of colour and flavour provides vitamins and minerals which are easier to absorb in their liquid state. Vegetable juices in particular have almost miraculous effects on a range of health problems, including eczema and arthritis.

Aim for as wide a variety as possible in your juices, including fruits, vegetables, herbs such as ginger and leafy greens. You can even add seeds.

K - Knees: Of all the joints that are prone to injuries, knees are what really suffer - almost everyone experiences knee pain at some point or another.

Causes can be the wrong trainers, incorrect running technique, not warming up properly,

overusing the muscles surrounding the joint or simply wear and tear as we get older. Either way, it’s important to try and protect our knees as much as possible.

L - Labels: Read them.

You’d be amazed at what some food items have hidden inside them.

And it’s only when we read the labels that we begin to understand the importance of avoiding processed package foods and consuming fresh ingredients wherever possible.

When you start to see sugar as the first ingredient, or a long list of chemical names you can’t even pronounce, never mind knowing what they are, put it back on the shelf.

M - Music: The power of music never fails to amaze me. How it can make us laugh, cry, want to sleep or run a marathon, depending on what we’re listening to. Choosing music that inspires and encourages you when exercising makes all the difference to how you enjoy the activity.

If you know music lifts your spirits, start listening to your favourite songs when you’re cooking, cleaning or going for a walk. It puts you in a better mood instantly.

BEJEWELLED!

By Carl Pattison

AS the summer season draws to a close, our eyes wander towards what we might be wearing during the coming months of Autumn/Winter.

Does our wardrobe need a facelift, or can we get away with a simple revamp?

One way to update an outfit, or an entire closet of clothes, is with jewellery … yes, good old-fashioned bling.

There’s nothing to set off an outfit more than carefully-chosen jewellery, which can make

a favourite old dress come alive again. So what’s hot this season and how do you wear it?

Well, it’s always best to start by looking at your clothes. What do you

wear regularly, or what are the items you pull out on special occasions?

This will determine your colour scheme, and what will tie in best with bags, shoes, etc.

There’s no point splashing the cash on costume jewellery, only to find you have to buy a dress and shoes to go with it.

Stick to key pieces that will mix and match, and don’t be afraid to layer on the jewels.

As Coco Chanel famously said: “Put on all the jewels you want to wear and take one piece off.”

This is how you know you’ve not overdone it.

It’s better to have one statement piece on and, say, an extra something, than to go overboard and ruin your look.

Even if your accessories aren’t real, they can appear to be if chosen carefully. Try not to go for anything too gold-looking because it never looks real. Gold is a harder metal to fake - and yellow jewels can seem tasteless.

Opt instead for silver or bronze as these always make an outfit classy, so choose well and they will never date.

And there’s no need to go on a shopping spree.

Fashion jewellery nowadays can be picked up inexpensively, yet still looks a million dollars.

Bring on the bling!

Butterflies

50 shades of hair colour!

that flutter by

By Vanessa Vee JUST lately, I have developed a slight obsession with the North of this beautiful island … I just can´t keep away!

One reason, I believe, is its accessibility with the new stretch of highway.

From my Adeje house, I can make it to Santiago del Teide in literally 20 minutes. I adore the drive, the roads, the scenery and the tranquillity of the typical Canarian lifestyle as we meander through the villages.

I´m always looking for quirky and interesting ideas for my column on my travels. I have a doll museum, eco caves, plus many more lined up. I even discovered a Guanche Park in the North but, alas, this has ceased trading.

I have noticed the Butterfly Zoo up in Icod de los Vinos for many years, mainly because it has a big sign stating “Now closed”.

But on a visit a couple of weeks ago, it was a pleasant surprise to see this has changed to “Now Open”. I doublechecked on the internet,

which still states “permanently closed”. However, we were in the area, so we parked up and had a wander.

My five-year-old daughter was so so excited!

One of the first words she learned to say was “Mariposa” and, typically, little girls adore butterflies.

The Mariposario del Drago is located virtually next door to the infamous Dragon Tree.

Legends say that when dragons die they become dragon trees. And it is obvious why this living fossil is one of Canary Islands’ symbols.

The Canaries is home to a number of impressive dragon trees and today, the largest and most famous dragon tree, which has a 20-metre diameter base and is 17m high, stands majestically in Icod de Los Vinos.

It weighs approximately 150 tonnes not including the roots, and there has been much debate over the age of the tree.

Some say it may be over 5,000 years old,but recent estimates suggest that the tree is no more than 800-1,000 years old.

In 1985, the tree was fully cleaned up and a ventilator placed inside the trunk to facilitate air circulation and prevent

a fungus build-up. And in 1993, the local Town Hall made a deviation in a road which passed just a few metres by the dragon tree. Now, fortunately, this iconic tree is no longer in obvious danger.

The dragon tree is one of Tenerife´s popular tourist attractions, along with the Church of San Marcos, and now that the Butterfly Zoo has reopened, it adds up to a worthwhile trip.

On entry to the zoo, you can enjoy watching more than 800 butterflies - from their tropical habitats all over the world - flying around freely. You will see how they emerge from their pupae and you will learn all about their fascinating metamorphosis.

We spent about an hour wandering through the tropical garden, with these beautiful, colourful creatures flying everywhere.

Exotic species from all parts of the world are on show, and the beauty is that they fly in total freedom - not a cage in sight. There is also the educational side of their lifestyle and habitat.

It is unguided, so you can take it all in at your own pace. You are also able to observe their in-depth breeding programme. We were taken through each phase of its biological cycle, from egg, to caterpillar to butterfly.

News to me was that an average butterfly lives for around 5-6 days only.

Entry prices and opening hours are all on the website www.mariposario.com. Residents discount is available, too.

Contact the Butterfly Zoo on 922 815 167.

WHETHER you colour your hair because you don’t like your natural colour, or you want to hide those greys, hair colouring has never been so popular.

And the trend keeps on going.

Gone are the days of rinsing through a boring brown to cover your hair’s natural tone, or bleaching it to an undesirable shade.

Colouring hair is an art form. Placement of colour and the enhancing of a haircut is a specialist job, and the knowledge we stylists gain over the years ensures that your colour will work for you and your hair.

To me, a good haircut isn’t finished without some sort of colour. It’s like a stylish dress with bad shoes - just not finished off.

If your stylists are at all interested in your hair, and if a colour is needed, I’m sure they will advise you so.

We are edging on more of a natural look to hair colouring in the salon … nothing too garish or in your face.

Okay, if the style sometimes needs a more dramatic look, we can go to town. But we also go with fashion and, with the Seventies’ vibe

coming through in hair and in fashion, less is more.

So if you’re choosing a new image with your hair, and you want to ensure the look is complete, don’t forget to add your colour to the appointment.

Making sure you choose the right colour can make or break a haircut. It can enhance or ruin a good cut. Many a time, I see colours which are the total “look” of the hairstyle, like the colour is “the” thing without having a good cut to back it up.

Ensuring the two work together is the secret of getting your hair right if you really want to stand out in a crowd.

While working with your hair, the stylist will choose a colour, not just to cover up what you don’t like to see, but one that will really take your cut from fab to fabulous.

Services on October 4th and 11th will also be 10am.

CATS Welfare is a small association (charity) with no government funding, which does its best to care for wild and stray cats here in the South.

It is not usually possible to re-home wild cats, so our members trap, neuter and return as many as possible to their natural habitat.

All the traps used are humane, and the animals are taken to the vet to be neutered and then returned to the same area when they have recovered.

The vet takes the tip of their left ear off - you may have seen plenty like this - so we know which cats have been sterilised and don’t catch them again.

The charity is run by sisters Sharon and Wendi who are, naturally, passionate about cats and their welfare.

“It is heart-breaking to see all the abandoned cats and kittens here in Tenerife,” says Sharon. “We had been helping various animal charity associations over the years here, but we decided we start our own cat charity because we wanted to do so much more.

“We have been having cats neutered and spayed in Tenerife for the past few years and funding it ourselves.

But we could never afford to become an association because all our spare money was spent on cats.

Tenerife Solicitors generously offered to sponsor us and do all the legal work, and they have been absolutely brilliant. We’ve lost count of how many times they have gone to Santa Cruz for meetings, and to get official documents signed and stamped.”

Sharon added: “Quite often we find tame cats, which are most likely abandoned pets.

We also take them to

the vets for neutering and spaying, then try to re-home them.

“But this is becoming more and more difficult because of the lack of offers, or prospective new homes.

“Neutering and spaying them keeps the population down, which means less suffering and a better quality of life for the cats already here.

“Since we have neutered colonies of the animals, they have become more accepted by people, especially hotel, restaurant and business owners, of which some have been known to poison them in the past.

“Cats keep the numbers of mice and rats down and, as long as they are neutered and not breeding, most businesses are happy to let them stay.

“We also aim to help encourage people to have their pets neutered and spayed, and we work hard to achieve this wherever we can.”

Their success has spread, and now they have a well-stocked Cats Welfare charity shop, with plenty of free parking, on San Blas, Golf del Sur, just before the church.

The clothes are all of excellent quality, from size 6 right up to a size 28, and everything in between.

There are lots of choices for men as well, and a good selection of children’s clothes.

The shop also features shoes, books, DVDS, jewellery, ornaments and so much more.

The shop is open seven days a week from 10am-6pm, except Saturday, when we open between 11am4pm.

If you are having a clear-out and would like to donate goodquality items, please drop them into the shop, or contact admin@cats-welfaretenerife.com and collection will be arranged.

11th September - 17th September 2015

Dreamers still in dreamland THERE are a few teams this season with title expectations and we have a new leader in the Direct Telecom Pool League’s Division One.

It was derby night in Los Cristianos on Tuesday as Dreamers A made the 25-metre trip to Bluebell A - and that’s not even the league’s closest derby!

The visitors, who have made a strong start this season,were at it again as Steve, Mark T and Gav gave them an early lead. It was soon 5-1 to Dreamers, until Archi and Mucker hit back for Bluebell to keep them in the contest.

However, the home side needed at least three frames from the final session for a point, which proved beyond them. Dreamers secured the two frames needed for the win, which put them top of the league.

Treehouse A are right there with them, though, as they overcame a tricky hurdle in Rewind Bar. There was nothing to separate the sides over the first eight frames and, with the match finely poised, it could have gone either way.

Jay struck first for the home team, before Danny hit back to level again. Scott then won his frame and it was

advantage Treehouse.

It came down to Mark against Wilf, but the Treehouse captain was on fire and took his third frame of the night - and the three points.

Rewind’s Danny also had three wins again and, as captain John said: “He must feel like Messi playing for Wolves.”

Amarilla Golf’s two teams have had mixed fortunes this season, with Terrace Bantams flying high and Terrace Roosters with clipped wings. But it has been a bad week for both teams.

Bantams made a sluggish start at Palms Elite and, before you could blink, they were 7-1 down and it was game over. They fought back but it was too little to late, even though final score was a more respectable 7-5.

Palms had Lady Luck riding with them in more than one frame, but there were no complaints from the Bantams, who enjoyed a slice of luck the week before!

Terrace Roosters, looking for their first points of the season, faced a tough task against Tenerife Hammers A, it was made even tougher when the visitors flew out of the blocks into a 4-0 lead.

From then on it was déjà vu, as it became 8-0 and then 12-0.

The Roosters looked shell-shocked, but at least they face an easy

home game next week against Gaffers A! It’s not easy to get a whitewash in this league, so full credit for the Hammers, and it will do their framewin column a power of good.

Palms A, who had made a poor start to the season, were hoping to rectify that with an away win against new boys Gaffers B. The hosts enjoying a bright start, were soon 2-0 up. But Palms had all six players available for the first time this campaign, and team spirit brought out the best in them.

They reeled off the next five frames to stun Gaffers B. Chris, Darren and Roscoe won all their frames to ease the former champions to a 8-4 success.

The Phoenix were another team to start the season slowly, failing to win their opening four games. Exiles A were Tuesday’s opponents and the Phoenix finally showed what they are capable of, taking early frames to settle the nerves and get into their stride.

Exiles are a good side, but they had nothing in reply and the Phoenix were soon celebrating their first win.

In the final Division One game, Tenerife Hammers C played host to Phoenix Potters in the Werthers Original trophy match (on average, the two oldest teams in the league).

The visitors took first blood, Dave beating Ken, but Heineken, Ken H and Tony pulled frames out of the bag to give Hammers an early lead. The next session was tight, the teams sharing four frames.

Ken then lost to Paul (Top Gun) and the Potters sensed a way back in.

Heineken got one for the Hammers to make it 6-4 and Dave narrowed the gap to 6-5.

It came down to Tony against Garry and, unfortunately for Tony, he went in-off the black to make it all-square at 6-6 and the points shared. But we needed a trophy winner, so it was Heineken against Dave and the home player kept up his winning streak, leaving Hammers C the worthy Werthers Trophy winners.

There was also a new leader in Division Two. Bluebell, taking inspiration from their A team, have started the season well and this week they were in Valle San Lorenzo facing Crown A. The home team were tipped for a good season, but they haven’t really got going yet - and it was another night for them to forget.

Bluebell play good pool and they know how to frustrate their opponents. They won early games and, once in front, they were never going to be caught, wrapping up the win to take top spot.

Dreamers B had showed some early-season form with a couple of wins but have struggled in recent weeks.

They hosted Picasso’s A, who had their tails up after last week’s win, and it’s amazing what a little confidence can do for you. They played their shots with confidence and were soon rolling in blacks and taking frames. Try as they might, Dreamers B just couldn’t just a foot-hold and Picasso’s

went on to take their second win in a row.

Splash Bar got their season started last week with a win, and this week looked forward to a clash with Crown B. The visitors have some good players with knowledge of these leagues, and they proved a tough nut to crack.

Both teams took frames, but neither could gain any advantage and it was no surprise that the

game ended in a draw.

The night’s final fixture saw Sabores against Hoppys, with both teams seeking their first win of the season.

But the home team are finding their first season tough and it was another bad night for them.

The games were close, but they just can’t find that winning touch, I’m sure it will come, but Hoppys took full advantage to take their first win.

Playboy plants pearler!

FOLLOWING Arny’s big checkout in Division 2 last week, and with Emerald Lounge’s Darren holding on to his 149 since the start of the season, it was about time Division 1 saw a new big finish.

Hey presto, Ourplace Playboys’ Andy smashed in a stunning 167 during his side’s home defeat by Gaffers, who had Matt firing in his first 180. Only a 170 will beat Andy’s cracker so come on, what are you waiting for?

Phoenix Bar narrowed the gap on leaders Boothen Army by beating Palms Pool Bar in a match that will be remembered for my epic battle with Jackie. We had to wake the scorer up!

Good job Johnny and Dave Mac hit maximums!

A revitalised Pas O Nadas A notched

their third draw in a row, with Beck slotting home a 112 and Andy checking in on 128. They tested loftier opposition again in the shape of Boothen Titans.

Waterfall Warriors held the trebles leg to tie with Exiles, while there were last-rubber wins for Hoppys Bar, at Emerald Lounge, and for home team Palms Sports Bar against Bar 180 B. Phoenix Flights face Spear Chuckers in a Division 2 showdown this week, and both look to be on form after enjoyed wins last Friday.

Flights put seven past local rivals Pas O Nadas B, and Chuckers had a 5-3 victory at Gaffers Jucee Girls.

Third-place Picassos cruised to a 6-2 success over Bar Leones, while fourthplace Summerlands were taken apart 7-1

Down in the dumps!

Huesca 1 CD Tenerife 1

By Roscoe TENERIFE’S poor start to the season continued this week as they were dumped back to the bottom of the league, and crashed out of the Cup.

The Copa del Rey has become something of a joke over the last decade, with no first-round win and Tenerife being drawn away in the last seven years.

That takes some doing, and with the locals loving an anti-Canarian bias story, they think its

a conspiracy. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, though, as La Palma’s Mensajero hosted Cadiz in the cup on Wednesday.

On Saturday, Tenerife travelled to Huesca with young centre-half Jorge again frustrated on the bench as he awaits his first start of the season.

Under-pressure German was given another chance and he had a better match, even if Tenerife were already behind inside a minute, thanks to a Luis Fernandez effort. The team looked stunned, but rode out the early storm.

Lozano arrived from Hondruas as something of a dark horse, and his record is a little

up and down. The lad clearly has some talent, and he went another stride towards becoming a new hero with a

Leganes 2 CD Tenerife 0

fine equaliser midway through the first half.

He picked the ball up on the edge of the Huesca area, dropped a

shoulder and smacked the ball into the bottom left-hand corner.

It was a fine effort and he made it look so easy.

The sign of class.

Both sides traded chances with neither doing enough to deserve all three points.

But it’s Tenerife’s first point of the season - and an away one!

Silver linings, and all that.

A few days later and it was off to Leganes for a cup-tie Tenerife didn’t seem too interested in winning. Roberto was given a rare chance in goal and he made a few fine saves in a first half dominated by Leganes.

It wasn’t much better after the turnaround. The experiment of playing three centre

backs didn’t work as the hosts finally got their reward 18 minutes from time. Omar Ramos joined the “they-always-scoreagainst-you” club with the opener, and Szymanowski made it safe in time added on.

Manager Raul Agne said: “despite the defeat, I feel we are making real progress.”

Let’s hope he is right because defeat at home against Real Oviedo this weekend would be a disaster. A tricky trip to Real Zaragoza follows, with fast-starting Osasuna in Santa Cruz the week after.

Make no mistake, this is a must-win match, which could see a sacking should it go the way of the pear.

11th September - 17th September 2015

Who’s brave enough against high

I HAVE to admit that football is my thing. But when an event is being held on home soil (yes, I know we are in Tenerife but you know what I mean!), you have to get excited and get behind the national team.

So it is with a certain amount of excitement that we can look forward to next Friday (18th Sept) at 8pm, when England get the Rugby Union World Cup under way with a game against Fiji at Twickenham, culminating in the final on Saturday, 31st October when I hope to see England again lifting the William Webb Ellis Cup. Who could forget 2003 and THAT Jonny Wilkinson drop-goal when we defeated Australia! Here, then, is a look at the 20 teams taking part.

England

Stuart Lancaster has ditched bad boys Dylan Hartley and Manu Tuilagi but, in truth, he has more than enough strength in depth to cope without them. Hooker Tom Youngs will be a key player and George Ford is looking like a legend in the making.

The pack is England’s strength - and when they get it right up front, they have the talent to win this World Cup. The Six Nations saw a giant leap forward and there was lots to like about the win over Ireland last weekend.

Pool A brings together three of the top-sixranked teams, but England are worthy favourites to win this group.

Home advantage is massive and when they win the

South Africa

The Springboks are a strange lot. They have lost against Wales and Ireland this year, but have also powered to a famous win over New Zealand, which was the All Blacks first defeat in almost two years.

This pool will hold no problems for them, so they should face the runners-up in Pool A, which will be a tougher test. South Africa have the backs to go deep into the tournament, and they have always been a confidence team. In many ways, they are in the perfect group because they should rack up the tries.

Samoa

They are the pick of the Pacific Island sides and pose a threat to any team. Three of their

pool, they will get a much easier passage to the final.

Wales

The Welsh have lost a host of key players, and they are not exactly peaking. There is a massive reliance

POOL A games coming thick and fast. Wales get a little home advantage as they are playing a couple of games in Cardiff, notably though, not against England or Australia, and their record against the Aussies is poor, winning just once in the last 15 games.

That said, they can be soft up front and could be cherry ripe for England.

Ahead of this World Cup, they relaxed their selection rules and foreign-based players have been welcomed back into the squad.

Their form has not been great, and they will not want to finish runner-up in the group because this could lead to a clash against South Africa in the last eight ... they have lost to them four times in the last five meetings.

Australia

Fiji

(The Group of Death) on Captain Sam Warburton with the

The Wallabies have slowly been regaining their hard edge in defence and, potentially, have the most exciting backs, with Israel Folau lethal on the counter-attack.

squad play club rugby at Northampton and are among the most dangerous attacking players in the Premiership, so they will prove tough opponents for Scotland.

The Samoans do not play together often enough to be considered a real force and they sometimes lack discipline, which can kill you in this tournament.

Scotland

When the Scots appointed Vern Cotter, the former New Zealand head coach, it was hoped that their fortunes would turn around. But they were poor in the Six Nations … failing to record a win, despite being well placed in some matches. They have

POOL B a couple of players to watch in Mark Bennett and Finn Russell, but the whole squad need to up their game if they are to qualify.

The match against Samoa will be key: win

that and they could face England. A juicy carrot.

Japan

Surprisingly, Japan got themselves into the top-10 World Rankings

They have been improving steadily over the last 18 months.

They are the best in the world at Sevens Rugby and they have been working hard to edge some physicality

back in 2014, climbing above Argentina. But since then they have slipped back to 13th.

They are hosting the 2019 Rugby World Cup and will want to leave a good impression at this tournament.

They perform consistently well against lower opponents, but their lack of power finds

and guile to the forwards.

They are getting there, managing a win against Italy in June. That showed they can mix it with the Europeans and, in Nemani Nadolo, they have a huge goalkicking wing.

It’s a real shame they are in such a tough group. But they will cause some problems, and England will need to be wary in that first match.

Uruguay

The last time the South Americans reached a World Cup was in 2003, for only their second appearance.

The highlight was a 2412 win over Georgia, which was also their second win. The semiprofessionals will be cannon-fodder.

Here for the beer!

them out against the better teams.

Japan have a fine coach in Eddie Jones, who will make sure they get the basics right. But they will not progress any further than the group stages.

USA

If you go back a few years, the USA looked to be a genuine upand-coming side.

But they have not kicked on. At the Pacific Nations Cup in 2014, they drew with Uruguay and were beaten by Japan.

They have couple of UK-based players in their squad, Saracens’ wing Chris Wyles and Northampton lock Samu Manoa. But their main ambition for this tournament is not to end up bottom of the group.

enough to bet high-flying Kiwis?

New Zealand

Who is brave enough to bet against the defending champions and clear favourites lifting the trophy again?

They ooze quality in every department - a worldclass team and worldclass replacements, waiting in the wings to replace players who are all-time greats.

They play with pace and power and, since winning the biggest trophy of all, they have played 42 Tests and lost just two. However, they have been in this situation before and found a way to lose.

They are vulnerable in the early stages of the knockout round and, with a soft group, they could be under-cooked

POOL C when the tournament heats up.

Argentina

The Pumas managed a third-place finish back in 2007, but that was

a long time ago. They play a very defensive, bruising game, but rugby has moved on in the last eight years.

The plus point for them is the group they are in, with the exception

of New Zealand; they should be more than capable of beating the other teams, and they will still a danger to anyone if in the mood.

Tonga

They have a very old squad but are always good entertainment value at tournaments, last time out beating eventual finalists France.

But they are so inconsistent, and it would not come as a surprise if they beat Argentina and then lose to Georgia to miss out on qualification to the next stage. There is nothing to dislike about them, though.

Georgia

Although they are not a top side, nobody in the group will be looking forward to playing them. That’s because they are a big, strong, ugly side who will hit

France

The French used to be such an enthralling, enchanting side to watch - full of flair and unpredictability: unstoppable one match, totally useless the next. Now they are just unstoppable for maybe 10-20 minutes per match, and then just poor.

They should advance from this pool fairly easy, but the Irish will fancy their chances of coming out on top as performances from the French in the last 12 months have been well below par.

BUT ... they are always dangerous in the knockout stages, as New Zealand will tell you.

Ireland

The Irish are now up to third in World Rugby’s rankings, and they have won back-to-back Six Nation’s titles.

Their tournament will depend on the form and fitness of Jonathan Sexton and how he integrates with the new young backs they have coming through.

Up front, Paul O’Connell continues to defy age, and

POOL D qualification from the pool will be straightforward.

They have a perfect start, with the easiest

matches first, so they will ease into the tournament and should be as fresh as a daisy in the last eight.

Italy

Sergio Parisse has long been the Italians’ main man. but he can no longer carry the team on his own. They did beat Scotland in the Six Nations, but have slipped back to 15th in the world rankings.

When they are in a match they can keep it tight and, with their kicking game, they know how to get out of trouble. That said, when they start to struggle, they often surrender.

Romania

By qualifying for this tournament, the Romanians have maintained their impressive 100% attendance record.

They are renowned for their traditional forward power but, recently, this has been lacking from their play.

and bloody even the best teams.

They are ranked 14th in the world, one place above Italy, which gives you an indication of where they are at the moment. But if they can find some flair and add a bit of know-how, they could really develop over the next few years.

Namibia

The Namibians always play with a smile on their faces; they have played 15 World Cup matches and lost them all by an aggregate score of 974-144. They showed a glimmer of hope against Fiji last time out. But, alas, it was a false dawn and four defeats beckon.

The game against the All Blacks could be a record-breaker as they could set a new mark for the biggest win, currently held by Australia when they beat the Namibians 142-0 in 2003.

Georgia have now replaced them as Eastern Europe’s dominant team, but they are here to play four games only. I’m afraid there will be no passage to the next stage for them.

Canada

Like their American neighbours, the Canadians were once an up- and-coming team. But last year they lost every game played.

Full-back James Pritchard is their record pointsscorer in World Cups, but his domestic career never really took off and he hasn’t reached the heights expected of him.

If they have a match in which the whole team play well, they might give somebody a fright, but they are certainly not going to be challenging for the top two spots.
