Rajoy back, but he’s on his own!

Continued from Front The 61-year-old, who leads the Popular Party (PP), won a second term in office after leading a caretaker-government for 10 months in the wake of two inconclusive elections.

He was finally swornin on Monday during a four-minute ceremony at Madrid’s La Zarzuela Palace, in the presence of Spain’s King Felipe VI. Rajoy presented his new government yesterday (Thursday), following fierce opposition from Pablo Iglesias, head of anti-austerity party Podemos.

The vociferous Iglesias sees himself as the genuine opposition chief in the new Congress, despite being the thirdmost-voted force only at the last two, fruitless elections.

He told Rajoy last week during a debate: “Democracy is not about a symbolic sharing out of positions by two parties that are really one and the same.

“We are not the same, and we hope to be the government of this country … and we hope you will accept that.”

Iglesias, who warned Rajoy repeatedly to be careful, added: “You have more Spaniards against you than in favour.

“Even though you are going to be Prime Minister, thanks to Mr Rivera (Ciudadanos) and the PSOE, Spain wants a government without corruption and

a better government.”

Whether Iglasias obtains the power he craves remains to be seen. But those elections - in December 2015 and this June at least succeeded in breaking the two-party system, introducing a fragmentation in the lower house never before experienced.

Thousands of protesters gathered outside Congress to voice their objections to Rajoy and his new government. But inside, there were no surprises this time as all went to plan.

As expected, PP nominee Rajoy won 170 votes, from his own party and those from reform group Ciudadanos, and from the regional Canaries Coalition.

But, as widely publicised throughout in the build-up, his victory was made possible only through the abstention of 68 Socialist (PSOE) members, following their own party’s instructions.

Even so, 15 Socialist MPs entered a conscience vote against Rajoy, demonstrating the PSOE fracture from deep within. And, in all, 111 MPs voted against Rajoy in the 350-seat chamber.

It means that his minority government will have to reach voteby-vote agreements in a hostile chamber.

And, immediately after the vote, that fact was acknowledged by the

new PM. “I think there is still a lot of work ahead of us,” said Rajoy. “We will try to seek agreement and understanding with everyone.”

He then issued a warning to other members in Congress, who have pledged to fight his tenure every step of the way.

“I think we are a great nation and a great country,” he stressed.

“And I hope this will not simply be an investiture session, but that we will be able to do what other European countries with no majorities do: try to govern and work together.”

His words were directed, mainly, at Podemos and the United Left, whose representatives warned ahead of the vote that they could not be counted on to cooperate during the coming term.

Podemos MP Carolina Bescansa, referring to the PP, PSOE and Ciudadanos, declared: “Today, a new bloc has been created.”

Meanwhile, the PSOE issued a statement saying: “From this very moment, the PSOE pledges to head an opposition that will revert four years and 300 days of

partisan and harmful policies.”

But even as Spain’s law-makers were casting their votes, the crowd congregated outside were protesting at what they viewed as a breach of democracy.

The Surround Congress demonstration attracted around 6,000 followers, according to the National Police.

And protesters, who ended the rally at around 8pm, claimed that the PSOE’s passive support for its traditional rival, the PP, was a betrayal of voters’ wishes. Or, in the words of protest organisers: “A mafia coup.”

The demo, shepherded by 1,000 police officers and organised by a group called Coordinadora 25S, was sponsored by radical left-wing parties, who have promised to “bring the fight into the public squares”.

Protesters waved placards showing Rajoy with a smoking gun in his hand. And former Socialist leader Felipe González, Spain’s longest-serving prime minister, who supported abstention publicly as a last resort to end the impasse, was also depicted as a gunslinger in the posters.

Deathly flight of a cocaine-smuggler A MAN smuggling cocaine on a flight from Valencia to Tenerife died recently after two of the 99 capsules he’d swallowed burst in his stomach on the plane.

Further investigations revealed that two of his Venezuelan travelling companions, also carrying the drugs in their stomachs, were arrested.

The pilot was forced to make an emergency

landing at Málaga airport when the passenger fell ill. But by the time he reached the local hospital, he was dead.

The broken cocaine capsules were then discovered in his digestive tract, where they had caused the internal bleeding which

led to his death. A further 97 were found intact.

At this point, investigating officers looked for the two Venezuelan men, aged 28 and 29, who had accompanied him to hospital in the ambulance.

But they had disappeared shortly after his

arrival, only to be found in a Torremolinos hostel soon afterwards.

They had also swallowed cocaine capsules and were taken to a health centre until the drugs left their bodies naturally.

A further 62 capsules were confiscated in this way, and another 105 were found in the hostel where they had been hiding.

With the 21 found in a rubbish bin at Torrevieja train station, it brought the total haul up to 285 capsules, containing 41kg of cocaine.

Brexit setback for UK’s Government PA R L I A M E N T has been ordered by the High Court to vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the European Union.

It means that the British Government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty beginning formal discussions with the EU - on their own.

Prime Minister Theresa May says the referendum, and existing ministerial powers, mean MPs do not need to vote. But campaigners called this unconstitutional.

Needless to say, the government is expected to appeal.

Ministers were given the go-ahead for a further hearing at the Supreme Court, which is expected to take place before the end of the year.

Mrs May has said she will activate Article 50, formally notifying

the EU of the UK’s intention to leave, by the end of next March.

This follows the UK’s shock decision to back Brexit in June’s referendum by a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%.

The EU’s other 27 members have said

negotiations about the terms of the UK’s exit - set to last two years - cannot begin until Article 50 has been invoked.

Norman Smith, BBC assistant political editor, believes that if the court’s decision is not overturned, there

could be “months and months” of parliamentary hurdles ahead.

But he did add that most MPs would probably vote for Article 50, because a majority of voters in the referendum plumped for Brexit.

English and Scots ‘No’ to Poppy ban ENGLAND and Scotland players will defy a poppy ban when they clash at Wembley on Remembrance Sunday, despite a FIFA regulation banning them from doing so.

Their respective Football Associations have made it quite clear that they will not bow to world football’s governing body.

In a statement released on Wednesday night, the English FA stressed that the governing body intends to pay “an appropriate tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice”.

It added: “The poppy is an important symbol of remembrance and we do not believe it represents a political, religious or commercial message; nor does it relate to any one historical event.

“In keeping with the position agreed with FIFA back in 2011, and in what we believe is in accordance with Law 4, para 4, the FA intend to pay appropriate tribute

to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice by having the England team wear black armbands, bearing poppies, in our fixture on Armistice Day.” Prior to the statement, FA chairman Greg Clarke outlined his belief that England’s players should wear poppies, and confirmed to ITV that, regardless of the ongoing talks with FIFA over wearing the tribute, there would ill also be a visible presence of poppies inside the stadium.

“My personal opinion, and actually the same opinion I hold as the chair of the FA, is that of course we should wear poppies,” Mr Clarke told ITV. “We’re commemorating millions of people who gave their lives in wars over the last 100 years, and they deserve that. And the people who lost relatives deserve that. And that’s our plan.

“We’re balancing respect for the fallen and their families, with respect for the governing body. But there will be poppies at Wembley.”

Spain says hello to 60m tourists already in 2016 OUR loyal tourists keep flooding to mainland Spain and the Canaries, despite “Brexit” scaremongering, and the decreasing Euro rate against the Pound.

Spain has welcomed more than 60.3 million foreign tourists in the first nine months of the year - a 10.1% increase over the same 2015 period.

And the Canaries have also fared well, with a total of 9.6m tourists throughout the first three quarters of the year. These current figures have been supplied by the Survey of Tourist Movements at the Border (Frontur),

released this week by the National Statistics Institute (INE).

Nearly eight million international tourists visited the country last month - 10.2%

more than in the same month last year.

From January to September, Britain the main source market of tourists coming to Spain - recorded a 13%

rise, with more than 14.4m visitors (23.9%) of the total tourist number.

That was followed

by France, with 9.3m international tourists,

up 9%, and Germany, whose 8.9m visitors equalled a 4.3% growth.

The Nordic countries, the fourth outbound market to Spain, delivered 12.1% more

tourists, adding up to 3.86m visitors.

Meanwhile, those from Italy increased by 4.8% up to September (3.2m) and Portugal increased 13.6% to 1,570,000.

Notably, visitors from the Netherlands increased by 9.7% (2.7m) and there was a 6.9% increase in the numbers coming from the US (1.5m). Russian tourist numbers also increased 1.2% to 842,646 visitors.

In September, the UK remained the main tourism source in Spain, with more than two million visitors, representing 25.4% of the total.

The UK market is also positioning itself as the first source market in the Canary Islands (43.9%) and Valencia (36.3%).

Red-light trap for careless motorists SANTA Cruz Council has commissioned a “RedPhoto” trap for wayward drivers at traffic lights in the Miramar area of Ofra in Santa Cruz.

Zaida Gonzalez, Santa Cruz First Deputy Mayor, and Councillor for Citizen Security, Traffic and Mobility, said: “The device will detect and penalise drivers who do not respect their obligation to stop when the traffic light is on red.

“The goal is to ensure that drivers respect traffic lights, especially in an area frequented by pedestrians because the surroundings, plus the neighbours there, are teaching, sports and social centres.”

From now on, if drivers continue to snub the traffic lights when they turn red, they face a 200 euro fine, and four

points deducted from their licence.

Gonzalez also spoke of the dangers of skipping a red light, “especially for pedestrians, who have preference at these crossings because it could cause serious accidents”.

The councillor said the “red photo” had been installed at that point in the capital following the

request of neighbours, and the road safety data about the area.

She added: “It is very worrying that, during the 3½-month testing period, some 5,152 violations were detected there.

“This figure means that the average daily violations at the traffic light during this trial amounted to 50 cases.”

But that will surely change - and extremely quickly because of the penalties imposed on offenders.

The “red-photo” warning will remain installed on the main road of Rosario, at the height of Miramar and downstream, as it has been verified as the most dangerous point.

Specific signs to warn drivers of the control system have been placed along the route,and no wonder.

According to 2015 data held by the local police in Santa Cruz, there were 221 accidents in the municipality for drivers’ lack of respect concerning traffic signals.

The Council’s installation of these devices follows good results in other Spanish cities.

And images, videos and photographs, which capture drivers offending, will be formalised as sanctions and validated by the local police.

Hot chestnuts are on the go ORGANISED gangs are stealing chestnuts in Arafo in the northeast of Tenerife. The tasty treats, now in season, are brimming over in baskets on supermarket shelves all over the Island.

It seems that some people prefer to do their shopping out of hours, because police patrols have stopped several gangs near Arafo, and confiscated 40 kilos of the little brown nuts.

Chestnuts are on sale at 35 points around Tenerife, and they will also be featured in some special tapas promotions.

You’ll find old-

fashioned braziers cooking chestnuts in the streets of Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz, and sold by the bag.

And the end of the month, Valle San Lorenzo hosts a special chestnut night, with stalls in the streets and diverse tapas dishes in bars and restaurants, featuring the versatile nut.

Look out for cheese with chestnut purée, chestnut croquettes, or chestnut lasagne.

Big respect to the police for guarding our chestnuts... well, they don’t just grow on trees, do they?

FRANCISCO Sanchez, Director of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC), has recalled the dazzling moment he saw the light!

Fifty years ago, Sanchez - also the first professor of Astrophysics in Spain - saw a light from El Teide which, he first believed, was his research equipment breaking down. In fact, to his astonishment, it was a Borealis Aurora.

The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electricallycharged particles, released from the sun, which enter the earth’s atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen.

The lights are usually seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

It was the night of 16th September, 1966, and Sanchez was at the Meteorological Observatory in Izaña, observing the zodiacal light, produced in the medium interplanetary by the scattering of sunlight in the micrometeorites.

4th November - 10th November 2016

Borealis Aurora here in Tenerife

Sanchez said that, at the time, the zodiacal light was the only way to detect what was in the medium interplanetary, and he knew that space probes were just starting to be sent.

To study the zodiacal light, it was necessary to perform a

“decontamination” of the rest of lights. And when Sanchez and his assistant did just that, they saw a very strong light emission to the north.

It led to the astrophysicist believing the equipment had been damaged. In fact,

he discovered they were Borealis Auroras, after finding that it was not a chemical reaction of solar energy in the atmosphere during the day.

Instead, they were produced by solar particles, colliding with molecules of oxygen

and nitrogen from the atmosphere.

Both emit the “same” light. But while the luminescence is like a cloak that covers everything, the Borealis Aurora is “mobile”, said Sanchez.

Sightings of Borealis Auroras are really rare,

and astronomer Manuel Vazquez documents that, since 1770, at least 11 have been seen.

But Sanchez says, assuredly, that the zodiacal light can be displayed “pretty good” by the latitudes of the dawn and dusk in the Canaries.

Window on the universe

By Colin Kirby

THE sun had turned bloodred with little black flares shooting out, But, thankfully, I was looking at it through one of two adapted solar telescopes with protective light filters.

As I pulled away from it, the Teide Observatory spread out around me as a series of tall, white sentinels stood out against the clear blue sky.

Tenerife has 280300 clear days a year, and early star-gazers became aware of this and flocked to the Island.

Today, they would be staggered to see the mammoth, hightech, internationallyconsulted telescopes

adorning the Teide Observatory site at Izana.

The Volcano Teide company has made it possible for us mere amateurs to see the pioneering work which

has made the Canary Islands a scientific hotspot for the world’s leading astrophysicists.

Along with the La Palma observatory, there are 30 cutting-edge telescopes, updating

our knowledge on a daily basis.

For the visitor, it’s a wonderful place to visit.

Two English-speaking guides gave us an insight into the work that goes on there.

The free bus - they run from Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas - made its leisurely climb, up through Mount Teide’s National Park, the ancient lava flows, craggy cones, and volcanic plains creating the perfect mood to appreciate Tenerife’s unique place in the universe.

There were four parts to the 90-minute tour: firstly, the cluster of solar telescopes featuring the VTT and the Gregor, the biggest in Europe and second only to one bigger in America.

Next, a small dome welcomed us to learn about the nuts-andbolts of the electromagnetic viewing range, and the on-going quest for answers to the mysteries of the universe.

We then sampled those scaled-down solar telescopes, and even

saw the focused heat boil a pot of coffee.

Finally we went inside the IAC 80, a large photo-telescope which would make your old box-brownie curl up with shame.

To the workers at the observatory it’s just the office. But to us visitors, it was an alien landscape of surprises and wonder.

It’s all open to the world; equipmenttesting comes in, and information is shared outwardly. The Quixote CMB, near the end of the tour, works closely with the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge. *English-language tours take place on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The free bus from Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje operates on Wednesdays only. *Bring warm clothes and a snack. *Bookings at www. volcanoteide.com

Ignacio’s ‘brutal’ 24-hour triumph

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

No Ducking the issue AS we go to print, Spain has finally made Mariano Rajoy our new Prime Minister after 10 months of uncertainty.

And we are days away from finding out who will be the new leader of the free world, Hillary Clinton or Donald Duck. Sorry, Trump!

The latest polls show that Clinton’s lead has tightened to just three percentage points nationwide among likely voters, a lead which was nine points as recently as two weeks ago.

It is evidence of the degree to which Trump has shrunk a Clinton advantage that once seemed all but insurmountable.

The fact that Trump has made up six points in two weeks is made all the more impressive, given the way his campaign spent much of October fending off allegations of sexual assault against a GOP nominee.

And, of course, his damage control after the publication of a 2005 recording on which he can be heard describing sexuallypredatory behaviour in vulgar terms.

But the tide has turned in recent days for Clinton, who has again been battered by her long-running email scandal, which resurfaced last week when FBI director James Comey announced that the bureau was examining

potentially new evidence, related to the investigation.

It has put the former Secretary of State’s White House bid on its heels, at, perhaps, the worst possible time.

A third of respondents to the new poll, by the New York Times and CBS News, said Comey’s revelation about the examination of further evidence regarding Clinton’s email scandal, made them less likely to vote for her, while 40% said the same of Trump’s history of derogatory behaviour towards women.

The 52% of Trump supporters reached by the poll said they were enthusiastic about voting, while just 47% of Clinton followers said the same.

Clinton is up 14 points among women voters, while white women, a demographic that traditionally favours Republican candidates, are split evenly between the two.

Men who responded to the poll favoured Trump by 11 points.

Whatever Wednesday morning’s outcome, the world will soon see a massive change; maybe the Special Relationship between two women, from the UK and the US, for the first time ever … or a Trump in the White House!

THE second annual 24-hour, non-stop Atalaya Trail race ended on Sunday with victory for Madrid runner Ignacio Garcia del Castillo, who completed 15 laps of the trail in 24 hours, clocking up a staggering 120km.

García del Castillo, who now lives in Tacoronte, Santa Cruz, beat Felipe Neri Rodriguez and Ivan Alberto Diaz, who finished second and third respectively.

The winner has spent four years running trails, but this was his first experience of the 24-hour Atalaya event, and he really felt it!

“I found it brutal, to be honest,” he admitted.

“The climb to Atalaya is very hard, but it is the type of test I like doing.”

The first female home was Maria Altagracia Ramos, who completed 11 laps, covering over 88km. “It’s a spectacular test but, above all, a personal challenge,” she said.

“I only felt tired at the end of the trail, but that is down to great support

from my whole team, and the organisation.”

Second place went to Maria Victoria Hernandez, and third was Lucila Hernandez.

The male team relay was won by Men Sports Club Slope, who ran 22 laps, while in the female

section, first place went to the Jiribillas team, made up of Laura Perez Ramallo, Saray García Guardias, Gladys Garcia Mesa and Tania Galvan Guanche, who completed 16 laps.

As for the teams, first place was bagged by

Club Deportivo Desnivel, comprising Miguel Angel González Pérez, José Manuel González Leon, Jaime Ruiz and Francisco Javier Hernández Toledo, from the Icod and Los Realejos municipalities.

They finished third last year and kept their pledge to improve that feat in sparkling fashion.

The event was organised by Lechutraiel y Guajara Aventura, with the help and support of La Laguna Council.

The mind-blowing trail run began on Saturday at noon in the Plaza de Tejina, and ended on Sunday at 11am an hour earlier than planned because the clocks went back!

Police crack illegal TV streaming scam

THE National Police have arrested the person responsible for a wellknown website, offering unauthorised streaming of sporting events for free.

The website boss was held on suspicion of infringing intellectual property rights,as were five “partners”, when searches were carried out in various locations that housed servers, in Madrid, Barcelona, Cadiz, Girona, and Malaga,.

Fifteen bank accounts have also been blocked.

The investigation began last year after the National Police received a complaint by a digital TV distributor, which revealed the systematic

violation of intellectual property rights, through the unauthorised public broadcast of the company’s audio-visual content. The complaint was aimed primarily at a website offering a guide to broadcasting sporting events in chronological order, providing each of them with an index of links to access free streams. For this reason, the on-going search is also directed against those responsible for creating links to the protected content.

After an arduous, painstaking search, which involved analysing the bank accounts of all those inves-tigated, it proved that one, sole

director of the website, registered in Arteixo (A Coruña), had received over 11m euros in his accounts.

Similarly, it was possible for police to identify five of the main collaborators investigated, who had, allegedly, published links on the website, which allowed playback of copy-written content.

Once identified and located, all were arrested on suspicion of crimes against intellectual property.

The police also carried out searches at their homes, in which various electronic devices held records showing their involvement of the criminal activity.

Market makes way for Marathon SANTA Cruz Council has suspended the weekly Market this Sunday, because it coincides with city’s third annual International Marathon.

Dámaso Arteaga, Public Services Councillor, said: “It is down to strict security reasons, because the race route runs through several streets around the Market’s current location.”

He pointed out that both activities began in the early hours of the morning, making the setting-up of the Market “completely incompatible” on Sunday.

Arteaga added: “Traders are not going to miss out, though, because they will be compensated with an extra date in the coming weeks leading up to Christmas.”

Never mind the ashes, we prefer cremations JUST 16% of funeral services in Spain involved cremation 10 years ago, but that figure more than doubled last year to around 152,000, which is equal to one-third of all deaths in the country.

Panasef, the national association of funeral services which supplies the data, predicts the number will continue to rise. And it believes six out of every 10 funerals in Spain will be cremations in 2026.

That figure is already 70% in the bigger cities, while some 800m euros has been spent on cremation furnaces in the last decade.

“Young people don’t like visiting cemeteries,” said Panasef spokes person Reyes Aguilar, explaining the change in tradition.

Cost is not at stake, either because people are paying an average of 3,600 euros for both funerals and cremations.

But there is a potential problem with cremation: what should be done with ashes? Actually, there is a service run

by Barcelona company Gala Azul, which offers to scatter the ashes.

For Catholic families, however, the situation is more difficult, given the Church’s recent decision to ban the scattering of ashes, and forbidding them to be kept at home.

Spain has no national law regulating funeral services, which Panasef would like to see change as soon as possible, and every municipality has its own rules.

This situation has led to most cemeteries making provision for urns, or the scattering of ashes.

Some graveyards go a step further. Barcelona’s Roques Blanques cemetery is sited within a natural reserve, and administrators are currently creating a kilometre-long mountain trail, on which people will be able to stage green burials of bio-degradable funeral urns.

The site already has 2,000 environmentallyfriendly graves for ashes, and it will be the first in Spain to have an area

of this size dedicated to the burial of ashes.

Other cemeteries are offering such spaces for free.

Zaragoza’s Torrero cemetery has a garden where people can scatter ashes at no cost, while another section of the cemetery is given over to the burial of bio-degradable urns, but for a fee. Elsewhere in Spain, local authorities have had to impose strict rules to stop ashes being scattered.

One of these places is the pilgrimage site of Rocío, in southern Spain’s Huelva province, where pilgrims developed the practice of scattering ashes in the village.

Anyone now wishing to place urns in the municipality’s cemetery must apply for permission, or face a fine of up to 15,000 euros.

A statue dedicated to legendary bullfighter Curro Romero, which stands outside Seville’s Maestranza bullring, is another popular location for the scattering of ashes.

‘Youthful’ Ana reaches Irishman is held over record 115th birthday organised crime links ANA Vela Rubio, born in Cordoba and Spain’s oldest woman, celebrated her 115th birthday last Sunday at La Verneda people’s home, just outside Barcelona.

She is described by staff at her nursing home as not looking her age - she has a daughter of 89 who lives close by - and is just a year younger than Italian Emma Mornao, Europe’s oldest person.

Ana, born on 30th October 1901, moved to Barcelona in the Forties to become a dressmaker, and she has regarded the city as her home ever since.

Remarkably, perhaps, she moved into the home just six years ago, and, says David González, director of the La Verneda home: “She doesn’t look 115.

“We have residents a lot younger who look older than Ana.

“Although she’s very special to us, we just treat her as one of the group. She’s always been a super-friendly, super-affectionate and very optimistic person … perhaps that’s the secret to her long life.

“And she’s very physically strong, which has helped her get through the deaths of three of her four children, and of her brothers and sisters, the last of whom died this year.”

Vela broke the Spanish age record when she reached 114 years and 221 days, surpassing the record of Maria Antonia Castro, an Andalucian who died 20 years ago.

The Mediterranean diet and, traditionally, slower pace of life, is said to help Spain have one of the highest life expectancies in the world.

No prizes for guessing which particular diet Ana has followed ovewr the years!

A DUBLINER has been arrested in Spain by the Guardia Civil, as part of an investigation into organised crime In Ireland.

The man, who is in his thirties and from Tallaght, was captured in Marbella. He has been questioned about serious crime, including the circumstances surrounding the murder of Gary Hutch, who was shot dead near his flat in Miraflores, Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol, in September 2015.

Hutch was the first

victim of an ongoing feud between the Hutch and Kinahan groups, which has so far cost nine lives.

The man being held is known to the gardaí - Ireland's police force - as a senior figure in the Kinahan cartel, and is said to have connections to MGM Marbella, run by gang boss Daniel Kinahan.

The murder of Hutch, nephew of notorious Irish crime-lord Gerry ‘the Monk’ Hutch, sparked a bitter gang war between the

MORE than 200 “hostile” African migrants barged their way through a border fence between Morocco and Spanish enclave Ceuta on Tuesday.

African migrants in border charge

A Spanish government spokesperson in Ceuta said: “The migrants demonstrated a hostile and violent attitude.

“Many, who were armed with sticks, attacked police officers when they tried to

prevent them from entering.”

Three officers and 32 migrants were later treated in hospital for minor injuries.

And, while Spanish authorities set out to ascertain their legal status, most of the intruders were delivered to a shortstay immigrant centre.

But police are still

Hutch and Kinahan gangs. A Guardia Civil spokesperson confirmed that an operation into the Kinahans was ongoing, but he could not comment further.

The latest arrest comes days after the arrest of key Kinahan figure Fat Freddie Thompson, who was held in Ireland over the murder of David Douglas in July.

Top Kinahan lieutenant Graham ‘The Wig’ Whelan has also been picked up by Irish police - for driving without a licence!

on the look-out for a few others, who made it across the barbedwire fence and disappeared in the surrounding hills.

Ceuta along with Melilla, are the European Union’s only land borders with Africa, and they are favoured entry points for African migrants heading for Europe.

circumstances, each of which could be the potential solution to increasing the size of the pension pot you have: • You’re close to paying off your mortgage so may soon have further scope to consider an increase in pension contributions.

• Your children are leaving home, easing some of your monthly financial commit-

ments.

• You have old pension plans that you may wish to take advice on, as to whether or not they may be better served within a new plan.

• You’ve received some inheritance that you could consider the merits of investing into your current pension pot.

Do you know you get tax relief on payments you

make to a pension pot? For a basic-rate taxpayer, this means it would only cost £80 to get £100 paid into your pot.

The pension changes have had a positive impact on people’s feelings towards retirement and do give them more choices to help achieve the retirement they want.

How you take advantage

of the changes is up to you.

But speaking to us can help you find out more about the changes or if your current circumstances mean you might be able to build up your pension pot.

Phew, what a scorcher!

A PATIENT in a Tokyo hospital, who passed wind during an operation and ignited the laser a surgeon was using, has been left with serious burns.

The woman, in her thirties, was having surgery at the Tokyo Medical University Hospital, which involved a laser being applied to her cervix and lower part of her uterus.

But as the surgeon carried out the procedure, she passed wind, which caused the gas to ignite. It sparked a fire which set her hospital gown and legs ablaze and burned her legs extensively.

Happily, she is believed to have survived the ordeal.

The incident,which happened in April, came to light

following an internal investigation by the hospital.

A report released last week found that there were no flammable materials in the operating room at the time. It also said that all equipment used during the procedure was also functioning normally.

The hospital report concluded: “When the patient’s intestinal gas leaked into the space of the operating room, it ignited with the irridation of the laser and the burning spread, eventually reaching the surgical drape and causing the fire.”

The Tokyo Medical University Hospital, in the heart of the Japanese capital, is an acute care facility which claims to be pioneers in medical treatment.

It is the only facility in Japan to carry out surgery using robots.

Bin treated like rubbish ANGRY householders are paying a fortune for a private contractor to collect their rubbish, because local council bin collections have been cut to just once every three weeks.

An enterprising businessman in Greater Manchester, charging £25 a month per home for his service, says he is emptying 200 bins a day!

And families say they have no option but to sign up for a collection they should already be getting in return for the council tax they pay.

They are not the only ones to suffer because, in other areas of the country, cash-strapped councils are imposing the first monthly collections, which heightens fears that the cuts will spark a flytipping crisis.

Josh Morris, who runs the bin-collection

service in Greater Manchester, started in his home town of Bury.

But such is the demand, he admitted, that he has now expanded into nearby Rochdale and Oldham.

“I started with a van last year,” he said. “Now I have three trucks collecting 200 bins a day.”

The businessman, who is licensed to handle environmental waste, charges £25 to pick up bins three times a month - or £12.85 for a twice-monthly collection - and deliver them to a privately-run sorting plant. He donates 10% of profits to charity.

Bury mother-of-two Corrie Warburton, 33, said: “I do not like it because I have to pay my council tax as well.

“It’s just not fair, but there is nothing I can do about it. It is ridiculous just having a collection every three weeks.”

Paramedic Wayne LeeOliver, 31, who lives in Bury with his 30-year-

old wife Suzanne, said: “With four young girls, we generate a lot of waste, including usednappies. It would be a health hazard to leave that sitting there for three weeks.

“I pay for three collections - the weeks the council do not come - on top of the £1,019 a year I pay in council tax.

It is a bit of a struggle but we have no option.”

Councils say reducing bin collections means households recycle more waste as the UK attempts to achieve a European Union 50% target of rubbish to be recycled. But it can hardly be a coincidence that local authorities are also saving millions of pounds at a time of Whitehall biting cuts.

The traditional weekly bin collections have, in the main, disappeared over the past 10 years.

The first monthly service has been introduced in Falkirk, Stirlingshire, and Conwy, North Wales, although food

waste in both towns is still collected weekly.

People have also been accused of not following recycling rules and dumping items in communal bins.

In Conwy, for example, bags crammed with waste have been found in overflowing, industrial-sized containers outside a block of flats.

The stinking heap had not been collected since the scheme began, almost four weeks earlier. And Anna Jones, 34-year-old motherof-two, said she has already seen a “footlong rat”.

She added: “The smell is so bad that I have to close all my windows. I’m dreading next summer because it will be even more horrendous.”

A Conwy Council spokesman said: “By collecting refuse less frequently, households are encouraged to make full use of weekly recycling, and food-waste collections.”

Russians back down RUSSIA last week withdrew a request for its flotilla of warships to be restocked and refuelled in Spain’s north African enclave of Ceuta.

Grave-digger’s ghoulish shock A CEMETERY worker, who became trapped in a grave when it collapsed around him, was rescued by firefighters on Hallowe’en!

The grave-digger was buried up to his knees after the walls of the grave he was preparing fell in.

The incident occurred at Kintore Cemetery in Aberdeenshire, and the local Emergency services were alerted

at 1.55pm on Monday.

A fire engine from Inverurie was sent to the scene and the firemen helped free the trapped worker, who stepped out of the grave, uninjured about an hour later. He was then looked after paramedics.

Inverurie watch manager Mr Graeme Duncan said: “The ground appeared to be very sandy, and that’s likely to have caused the sides to cave in, initially, before the the fire service was called for assistance.”

The decision followed criticism of Madrid by NATO allies for assisting warships, they believe, could be used to target civilians in Syria.

The Russian embassy in Madrid gave no reason for its change of heart, but said the fleet bypassed the port, across the Straits of Gibraltar from mainland Spain, which Moscow has used frequently in the past.

The Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a statement: “The Russian Embassy has informed us that it is withdrawing the request for permission for stop-overs for these ships. And these stopovers have, therefore, been cancelled.”

It is understood that the Ministry formally asked the Russians if

the ships were likely to be used in future Russian attacks on the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo. And if so, said it was advisable that Russia withdraw the request to use Ceuta.

Led by the country’s sole aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, the Russian flotilla had been set to dock imminently at Ceuta, which borders Morocco, whose officials also lay claim to the territory.

Spain had come under intense international pressure to withdraw the refuelling offer, from countries including Britain and the US. But the Russian Defence Ministry said the Russian fleet never intended to dock at Ceuta in the first place.

The reported plan

had, however, drawn criticism from NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, many senior European parliamentarians and Conservative MPs in Britain.

Prior to the Russian announcement, the UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, said Britain “would be extremely concerned if a NATO member should consider assisting a Russian carrier group that might end up bombing Syria”.

He added, as NATO defence ministers all gathered in Brussels: “On the contrary, NATO should be standing together.”

The Spanish were accused of hypocrisy for, potentially, letting the warships refuel, after

signing statements last week accusing the Russians of war crimes in Syria - and Tweeting support for the “liberation of Syria” during a conference in Paris the previous day.

Since 2011, at least 60 Russian warships have docked there, including numerous stop-overs following the imposition of EU sanctions on Russia for its invasion and annexation of Crimea in March 2014.

At least 25 Russian navy vessels have been resupplied at various Spanish ports since then.

The practice has been criticised in the past, but the scale of the Russian-backed bombardment of the eastern Aleppo brought a new level of outrage last week.

The Russian fleet, representing the core of its Murmansk-based northern fleet, includes four warships and the tanker Sergei Osipov, a tanker that helped rescue the battlecruiser when it broke down in 2012 in the Bay of Biscay.

Facebook, the elixir of life…

FACEBOOK followers now have the best excuse possible to spend their waking hours on the addictive social networking site.

A study of 12 million Facebook users suggests that it is associated with living longer - and it really doesn’t matter a jot how many “likes” people get.

But this is only when it serves to maintain and enhance their realworld social ties, say researchers.

Facebook has, always faced criticism for removing posts which were said to violate its community standards.

But in many cases, the posts have been allowed back on the site following a backlash.

Just last week, Facebook apologised for removing a video on breast-cancer awareness, posted in Sweden, because it deemed the images “offensive”.

And it has also confirmed that, in future,

it will now consider whether posts are in the “public interest” before removing them.

The research - an association study that cannot identify causation - was led by University of California San Diego researchers William Hobbs and James Fowler, collaborating with colleagues at Facebook and Yale.

It is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

First author William Hobbs, who worked on the study as a UC San Diego doctoral student, and is now a post-doctoral fellow at North-eastern University, said: “Interacting online seems to be healthy, when the online activity is moderate and complements interactions offline.

“It is only on the extreme end - spending a lot of time online with little evidence of being connected to people

otherwise - that we see a negative association.”

The research confirms what scientists have known for a long time about the offline world: people who have stronger social networks live longer.

But it documents for the first time that what happens online might also make a difference.

“Happily, for almost all Facebook users, what we found is balanced use and a lower risk of mortality,” said James Fowler, Professor of Political Science in the UC San Diego Division

of Social Sciences.

The researchers matched California Facebook users with vital records from the California Department of Public Health.

After being matched automatically on name and birth date, the data was de-identified and aggregated.

They compared the activity of those still living to those who had died over a period of six months, adding: “The benefit is only when it serves to maintain and enhance your realworld social ties.”

In a given year, the

average Facebook user is about 12% less likely to die than someone who does not use the site.

The researchers noted this was their crudest measure, and it may be down to social or economic differences between the user and non-user groups All of those studied were born between 1945 and 1989, and all the comparisons were made between people of similar age and gender.

The same researchers found those who are on Facebook live longer than those who are not.

And Facebook users who accepted the most friendships also lived the longest.

Those with highest levels of offline social integration - measured by posting more photos, which suggests face-toface social activity - had the greatest longevity.

People with average or large social networks, in the top 50 to 30 per

cent, lived longer than those in the lowest 10 - a finding consistent with classic studies of offline relationships and longevity.

“The association between longevity and social networks, identified by Lisa Berkman in 1979, has been replicated hundreds of times since,” said Professor Fowler. “In fact, a recent meta-analysis suggests the connection may be very strong.

“Social relationships seem to be as predictive of lifespan as smoking, and more predictive than obesity and physical inactivity.

“We’re adding to that conversation by showing that online relationships are associated with longevity, too.”

The researchers hope that subsequent research leads to a better understanding of what kinds of online social experiences are protective of health.

Sex life? It’s rubbish!

PEOPLE asked to fill out recycling surveys are usually questioned about whether they know the right colour bag for different types of rubbish, and, perhaps, the times and days of collection.

But residents of Suffolk were stunned to find themselves also being quizzed by the local council about their sexual orientation.

Householders received a survey about the opening hours and layout of local recycling centres. It also asked them to state their age, race, religion … and whether they were LGBT or straight”!

Many of them have since taken to social media to question the relevance of their sexual preferences to the council’s recycling policies.

Suffolk County Council also tackled the respondents on whether they had disabilities, or if they were HIV positive.

True, the survey also stated that the personal questions were ‘optional’, but many locals objected to being asked them at all.

A resident, writing under the name Ian C, asked online: “What

MOTORISTS could not believe their eyes when saw a reckless pensioner belting along the motorway hard shoulder on his mobility scooter … at a modest 8mph!

Police were flooded with calls when awestruck drivers spotted the man dawdling along the M621, in West Yorkshire, at the height of the weekend rush-hour.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “An officer was dispatched to the does it matter how many transgender individuals recycle their rubbish?”

Another local, who gave her name as Alison M, added: “I can understand why Suffolk County Council need to know whether disabled people use their sites. But as for sexual orientation, it is no-one’s business.”

The Council said in a statement: “SCC understands that you may feel these questions are intrusive and highly personal. The information you submit is voluntary, but it does make a difference.”

The recycling survey is not the first communication to provoke accusations

that this County Council is prying into people’s personal habits and backgrounds.

Similar questions were included in a survey about the Ipswich Orwell River Crossing, and another which was outlining plans for a new Sudbury bus station.

A Council spokesman said the answers were needed “to find out about the diversity of those who contributed”.

That section of the survey, he stressed, was “entirely optional”, and that answers to the rest of the questions would be considered, even if respondents declined to provide personal details.

The spokesman said: “It is important

to know what people with disabilities or illnesses think about our services, and it is important that we try to encourage diversity. We need to know that not everyone is the same.”

Many residents are unconvinced, however, some saying that the Council’s intrusiveness may actually be hampering their ability to gather correct information.

One resident wrote: “I object to being asked my ethnicity and sexual preferences on a survey where this shouldn’t be an issue.

“So every time I see one, I fill it in with incorrect details (which makes it even more meaningless).”

Chancellor warns of cyber crime at home PHILLIP Hammond, Britain’s Tory Chancellor claimed that ordinary households were just as vulnerable to hi-tech as major companies when he unveiled a strategy to fight cyber crime on Tuesday.

He highlighted “how the threat of attacks invade our privacy”, and warned that hackers could target families easily, through internetconnected TVs.

Motorway madness

Hammond outlined the domestic threats as he launched the Gov-

ernment’s latest National Cyber Security Strategy.

“Britain is already an acknowledged global leader in cyber security, thanks to our investment of over £860m in the last Parliament,” he said.

“But we must now keep up with the scale and pace of the threats we face.

“Our new strategy, underpinned by £1.9bn of support over five years, and excellent partnerships with industry and academia, will allow us to take even greater steps to defend ourselves in cyberspace,

and to strike back when we are attacked.”

While risks to air-traffic control and power grids are already understood, he also spoke of “how the threat of attacks invade our privacy”.

A new Cyber Security Research Institute - a virtual collection of UK universities - will seek to improve the security of smart phones, tablets and laptops. And that could make passwords redundant.

The Chancellor explained how our increasingly-vulnerable society was to cyber attacks, “because of the expanding range

scene and ‘helped and advised’ the man. The incident happened at about 5.46pm, and no one was injured.”

The maximum speed limit for mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs is 8mph on British roads, according to the traffic laws.

All mobility aids are banned from motorways and cycle lanes specifically. Users are also encouraged to avoid dual carriageways with speed limits in excess of 50mph. But this chap appeared completely at ease, despite the looks of bewilderment he drew from drivers -and the “help and advice” he received officially.

Operatic farewell!

THE Sunday-afternoon matinee performance of Gioachino Rossini’s Guillaume Tell at the New York Metropolitan Opera was cancelled after an audience member sprinkled what police believe to be cremated ashes into the orchestra pit.

John Miller, deputy commissioner for intelligence and counter-terrorism, told reporters: “An individual from out of town indicated that he was here to sprinkle ashes of a friend, his mentor in opera, during the performance.”

The Met Opera said

on its Facebook page that the performance was abruptly cancelled during the second intermission because of a “disturbance”, in which an unidentified substance was sprinkled into the orchestra pit.

The post also stated that the evening performance of opera L’Italiana in Algeri was also cancelled while authorities investigated the incident.

The theatre was also evacuated while police dispatched a special unit to probe the unlikely cause of the stoppage.

of connected devices, which are creating more opportunities for exploitation”.

The growing use of web-connected devices, he said, “means everyone from the living room to the boardroom is exposed to malicious hackers”.

Cabinet Office Minister Ben Gummer said: “No longer the stuff of spy thrillers and action movies, cyber attacks are a reality and they are happening now.

“Our adversaries are varied: organised

criminal groups, ‘hactivists’, untrained teenagers and foreign states. And the first duty of the Government is to keep the nation safe.

“Any modern state cannot remain secure and prosperous without securing itself in cyberspace. That is why we are taking the decisive action needed to protect our country, our economy and our citizens.”

He added: “We can be proud that the UK leads the world in cyber security.”

4th November - 10th November 2016 FISHERMEN on a Galician desert island are complaining bitterly about wild boar - yes, wild boar - scoffing their shellfish produce, just as they please.

“They swim like Michael Phelps and their numbers are growing,” said a bewildered José Luis Villanueva, a member of the Fisherman’s Guild and President of the Shellfish Farms, which farm the cockles and clams that have made the Carril island famous in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra.

“They come out at night and move in families,” he added.

“There’s one with eight members and another with around 14. And they have a strategy: the strongest keeps a lookout while the others eat.

If you want to get close to them at low tide, you have to go against the wind because they have an extraordinary sense of smell.”

Villanueva said his night-watchmen team, employed to protect the shellfish from poachers, both human and otherwise, spotted the wild boar four years ago.

He realised they had colonised Cortegada Island, which is separated from the

Wild boar ruin the fishing on remote island!

mainland by a sandy channel, favoured by gourmet-quality bivalves.

These wild boar, all competent swimmers, have adapted their nutritional habits to their new environment, rooting out what they fancy - almost aware that they are untouchable.

In fact, the 54 hectares of flat terrain that make up Cortegada Island happen to be national parkland, owned the National Park of the Atlantic Isles of Galicia.

And, as such, it offers the wild boar protection.

The clam producers, who have got used to them, still view them as a menace. In 2013, after a mycological association drew attention to the havoc the boar had wrought on the island’s mushrooms - its 600 varieties making this a fungi treasure trove - the shellfish farmers revealed that they were also depleting their “crops”.

In an attempt to scare the boar off, some of the farmers put down plastic nets in the channel, and used glass bottles to make an

off-putting din. Some time later, however, it was discovered that it wasn’t so much the shellfish the boar were after, but the sea worms used by the fishermen as bait.

But according to Villanueva, as they seek out the worms to eat with seaweed and mussels, they destroy everything in their path, making an almighty din in the process.

“It’s a riot,” says Villanueva. “They turn the rocks over with their snouts; they roll and splash around; they break shells and generally create merry hell.”

They also pull down the walls separating the banks on which the shellfish are cultivated - and other walls, which have been around since the beginning of the last century.

So why have these

sea-bound pigs chosen to make their home on Cortegada? The island was abandoned by its inhabitants to make way for an imposing summer palace for Alfonso XIII in 1910.

Perhaps they know they are safe there because, although the island was evacuated, the summer residence was never built.

In 1978, the current king’s grandfather, Don Juan de Borbón, sold the archipelago for 60 million pesetas (360,000 euros). And in 2007, the regional government paid an estate agent 1.8m euros to get it back into the public domain.

The shellfish farmers have asked Galicia’s regional government and the National Park authorities, repeatedly, to remove the wild boar.

In June 2014, the Environmental Protection Service caught a man for shooting one of the boar. Afterwards, a rumour spread that the park authorities were responsible for bringing the first pair of wild boar to the vicinity: the porcine equivalent to Adam and Eve, who then went forth and multiplied.

However, park director José Antonio Fernández

19 CW

Bouzas and his fauna expert, Vicente Piorno, deny this vehemently.

According to the director, the first boar swam to the island alone because they are good swimmers and can cover dozens of kilometres in a night.

Information gathered by hidden cameras also revealed that there is only one female living on the island, along with four adolescents and four piglets.

And, like the rest of the flora and fauna in the park, they are considered untouchable.

“Some people might not want them there, but they came there naturally and they are woodland animals, native to Galicia, said Piorno.”

Fernández added that the wild boar were themselves territorial, which helped keep numbers down. “As far as the mushrooms are concerned, we have got the most specialised of experts in Galicia on to it,” he said.

“And they dismiss the idea that the boar are destroying the fungus.

They point out that their rummaging helps the spores to spread.

They are part of the pyramid.”

Quake wrecks town, but people stay safe DOZENS of historic buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged by the 6.6 magnitude earthquake, which hit central Italy on Sunday morning.

Around a dozen people were reported to be injured, but, miraculously, there have been no reports of deaths following the devastation.

The quake’s epicentre was about 40 miles south-west of Perugia and close to the town of Norcia, which was already reeling from a series of large quakes.

Many of the town’s residents had been evacuated after quakes the previous Wednesday, which, at least, enabled them to avoid the worst of Sunday’s damage.

But Norcia’s holy Basilica of Saint Benedict was toppled, and extensive damage was inflicted on surrounding towns in the Umbria region.

Live television images showed people fleeing for safety with the aid of firefighters, and others

being pulled from rubble.

Mayor Marco Rinaldi from neighbouring Ussita, said: “It’s a disaster!

A disaster! I was sleeping in my car and I saw hell.”

Like the mayor, many other people slept in their cars after being made homeless by the horrendous upheaval.

The quake was so powerful that aftershocks were felt in Rome, and also across the border in Croatia and Slovenia.

And major destruction was

reported in other small towns near Norcia.

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi vowed that Italy would rebuild all the devastated towns and villages across central Italy, saying the area represented the “soul of our country”.

It was the most powerful earthquake to hit Italy since 1980, striking a blow to the regions of Marche and Umbria just days after they were hit by two other earthquakes.

It also frightened and

displaced thousands of already-jittery residents, who have seen the ancient structures and walls in their towns crumble into heaps on the streets.

“We will rebuild everything - the houses, the churches, the shops.” said Renzi.

“We are dealing with marvellous territories … territories of beauty.”

Just two months earlier, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake killed about 300 people and devastated the nearby town of Amatrice.

Happy pensioners are back together AN elderly couple, who have spent nearly every day together since they met in 1946, were terrified to learn that they would not be allowed to remain together because of their health.

But, thanks to a U-turn by the social services, under pressure from relatives, South Shields couple Ray and Jessie Lorrison can now stay in the same residential home.

Their relatives took up the case with South Tyneside Council, after being told, initially, they would have to be parted.

Ray, 95, who has Alzheimer’s Disease, has been staying at Westoe Grange Care Home while 88-year-old wife Jessie was being treated in hospital following a fall.

Their family told

council officials it was “disgusting” that the couple would not be allowed to be together once Jessie was well enough to leave hospital.

At first, social services said she would have to return to the marital home and receive daily visits from carers.

But the elderly couple’s grandson, Lee Bates, 41, started an online petition, urging the council to reconsider its decision. And within days, more than 20,000 people had signed it!

The petition said: “My grandfather sits and waits for her every day - confused, anxious and lonely without the woman who has been by his side for 70 years.

“My grandmother misses her husband terribly and still wants to do what she can to care for him - even if it’s

just sitting by his side holding his hand. This treatment is inhumane and cruel.”

Around the same time, the council backtracked and announced that the couple would be allowed to live in the same care home after all.

Mr Bates said: “I’m extremely happy and relieved about the council’s decision, as are the rest of my family.

“My grandmother cried this morning when she found out what had happened.”

The couple, who have spent nearly every day together, met through Ray’s older sister, Myra.

Jessie, originally from North Shields, moved across the River Tyne and they had more than 60 happy years living together in Marsden, South Shields.

Their only time spent

apart was when Ray went to sea with the Merchant Navy as a cook.

Ray and Jessie, a shop manager, met in 1946, married in 1950 and went on to have three children: Gary, 64, Cheryl, 60, and 49-yearold Debra.

The couple now have eight grand children, three great-grand children - and one greatgreat-grand child on the way!

A South Tyneside Council spokesperson said: “The assessment process has now been completed, and the lady will be placed in the same residential home as her husband.

“Although she is no longer able to live independently, we are pleased that, at least, the couple will be able to stay together.”

Adele’s Angelo anguish

ADELE, Britain’s most successful female pop star for many years, has spoken of her battle with postnatal depression, following the birth of her son, Angelo.

The singer told Vanity Fair magazine that, at the time, she felt as though she had made “the worst decision” of her life.

The 28-year old added that she “loves her son more than anything” but admits she really did struggle to adjust to motherhood, saying: “I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate.”

Angelo is now four and Adele’s only child, with partner Simon Konecki, who advised her to talk to other mothers about her concerns.

Adele refused at first, but said the depression “lifted” once she confided in a friend who had a child, and realised she wasn’t alone.

She said that keeping an afternoon a week to herself improved the situation. “A friend of mine said, ‘Really?

Don’t you feel bad?’ I said, ‘I do, but not as bad as I’d feel if I didn’t do it.’ It makes you a better mum if you give yourself a better time.”

The interview took place as Adele’s 10-month tour to mark

her album, called simply 25, comes to an end. And she admitted to still feeling uncomfortable when spending time away from Angelo.

“I’m enjoying touring, but at times I feel guilty because I’m doing this massive tour,” she said.

“And even though my son is with me all the time, on certain nights I can’t put him to bed.”

But she added: “I never feel guilty when I’m not working. You’re constantly trying to make up for stuff when you’re a mum. I don’t mind, because of the love I feel for him.”

Adele also opened up about how her stage fright is so bad that she may never tour again.

“I’d still like to make records, but I’d be fine if I never heard the applause again,” she said. “I’m on tour simply to see everyone who has been so supportive.”

Looking ahead to new material Adele feels she “will never write songs as good as the ones that are on 21”. She also said: “I was completely off my face while writing the second album.”

She says the success of tracks like Someone Like You were largely down to drinking two bottles of wine a night and chain-smoking on a regular basis.

“A drunk tongue is an honest one,” she said.

“I’m not as indulgent as I was then, and I don’t have time to fall apart like I did then.”

Having been made to sleep in the car by Mrs Khan after forgetting their wedding anniversary, Mr Khan is on a mission to make amends. But his boast to Dave (Matthew Cottle) that he knows local boy Moeen Ali backfires when Amjad suggests he could get the famous England all-rounder to make a celebrity appearance at the fundraiser that Mrs Khan and Shazia are helping organise.

Unreported World Channel 4, 19:30

Reporter Benjamin Zand and director Jessica Kelly go underwater in Malaysian Borneo to investigate an impending environmental disaster. The reefs off this coast are home to 600 types of coral and hundreds of species of reef fish; it’s been voted the best place in the world to dive.

But not for long, perhaps.

The team take spectacular pictures of fishermen tossing explosives into these waters to increase their catch, and the destruction this causes to the coral reefs below.

They also investigate another trend: fishermen spraying sodium cyanide on the reefs to stun fish that can then be sold to ‘live fish’ restaurants. As fishing disputes in the region force commercial fishermen into shallower waters, many more local fishermen are turning to destructive fishing methods.

And although the authorities are clamping down, it’s almost impossible to police.

Strictly Come Dancing BBC1, 18.55

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present Strictly Come Dancing live from the Strictly ballroom as the remaining nine couples compete to lift the highly coveted Glitter Ball trophy. Each dancing duo will take to the floor in a bid to impress the judges in the studio and the audience at home.

Whilst the awesome foursome of Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood critique each pair, Claudia will be getting reactions from the celebrities and their professional dance partners hot off the dancefloor, before the voting lines open at the end of the show and the Strictly viewers get their chance to cast their votes to save their favourite couple.

Remote islands offer sanctuary for some of the Planet’s strangest and rarest creatures.

The rare pygmy three-toed sloth enjoys a peaceful existence on an idyllic Caribbean island, while nesting albatross thrive in predator-free isolation.

But island life always comes at a cost. On the Galapagos Islands, young marine iguana must escape an onslaught of deadly racer snakes the moment they hatch from the sand.

On the Sub-Antarctic island of Zavodovski life gets more extreme still; every day 1.5 million penguins risk being battered against the rocks by fierce waves as they try to get on and off the island.

W C ch o i c e Operation Gold Rush with Dan Snow BBC2, 21.00

A journey filled with genuine danger and thrilling beauty. Leading a one month expedition he’s joined by polar explorer Felicity Aston and remote environment medic Dr Kevin Fong. Their goal - to strike gold in Canada’s frozen wilderness.

So far the team have travelled just thirty of the nearly six hundred mile journey to the gold fields.

Having made their way across the Alaskan Coastal Mountains they now face a very different challenge: the treacherous Canadian Lakes and rivers.

In tonight’s episode Dan and the team begin a marathon boat trip.

They’ll be travelling in a specially built replica wooden boat based on original designs from the gold rush. It’s basic, heavy and difficult to control but somehow they’re going to have to navigate it across hundreds of miles of water.

The People Remember BBC1, 09.15

Sophie Raworth and former Royal Marine JJ Chalmers, who was badly injured in Afghanistan, honour the courage of people who put their lives at risk during times of conflict. Presented from the Imperial War Museum in London, the series reflects on the sacrifices made both on the front line and on the home front.

Sophie Raworth and JJ Chalmers are joined by special guest Murray Walker, the former motor racing commentator. Murray, now 93 years old, commanded a Sherman tank during the latter stages of the Second World War and has vivid memories of his time as a soldier.

We also hear JJ’s personal story – he was badly injured by an IED in Afghanistan which killed three of his colleagues. JJ has faced a long road back to recovery but now he’s celebrating the birth of his first child – a baby girl who he has named after one of his fallen comrades.

We feature the work of the Battle Back Centre in the Midlands, where members of the armed forces come for help with their recoveries from both mental and physical injuries.

And there’s also a performance from Chris de Burgh singing a song called ‘The Soldier’.

The shocking death of ten year-old Damilola Taylor in 2000 saw an innocent schoolboy lose his life on the streets of London.

In front of the world’s media, his parents embarked on a gruelling path to find justice - but behind closed doors, how could their love survive such private grief?

On returning to Sunderland, Mary Ann discovers James has had a change of heart about their relationship and says he cannot marry again so soon after his first wife died, as it will unsettle his children. Furious, Mary Ann sets out to get rid of the apparent impediments. Two of the Robinson children suddenly fall sick, as does Mary Ann’s own daughter Isabella. Mary Ann is careful to give her a tiny bit of poison to avoid suspicion. But Isabella drinks a big cup of poisoned tea when her mother isn’t looking, and she dies in Mary Ann’s arms. A distraught Mary Ann collects Isabella’s life insurance but finally gets her wish and marries James Robinson.

The marriage quickly runs into difficulties when James discovers Mary Ann has been stealing money and sending his son William to the pawn brokers.

Fearing she’ll be thrown out, Mary Ann runs away with her young baby, back to her step father George but later returns to the Robinson house, only to find James has gone to live with his sister.

MasterChef: The Professionals BBC2, 20:00

Marcus Wareing, Monica Galetti and Gregg Wallace team up to search for the country’s next culinary superstar. In this opening heat, six professional chefs from all over the country arrive at the MasterChef kitchen and put their reputations on the line to stake their claim to the coveted title.

Marcus tasks the first three chefs with cooking a steak diane, while Monica challenges the remaining three chefs to make a pistachio, frangipane and raspberry tart coupled with a white chocolate creme anglaise. Finally, the six chefs cook their own signature dish for Monica, Marcus and Gregg.

In an hour and thirty minutes, it is their opportunity to showcase their creativity, palate and style. It is also their final chance to show off their culinary talent before three of them are sent home. Three become quarter-finalists, moving another step closer to being crowned MasterChef: The Professionals Champion 2016.

Black Is The New Black BBC2, 22.00

A selection of exceptional figures drawn from the world of politics, business, culture, religion and science face the camera and share their experiences of being black and British. Beautifully shot by artist and director Simon Frederick, the line-up of influential individuals reveal their heartfelt stories and unfiltered opinions to paint a unique portrait of modern Britain’s past, present and future.

Conceptually unique, Black Is The New Black relies solely on the words spoken by the line-up of distinguished individuals. With no archive or voiceover, their voices resonate with emotion across a wide range of subjects.

In this first episode, the focus is on arriving and growing up in Britain.

This distinguished cast, which includes Naomi Campbell, Sir Trevor McDonald, Thandie Newton, musicians Jazzie B of Soul II Soul and Dizzee Rascal and footballer Les Ferdinand, all tell of how they or their parents came to the UK with an attitude of respect, almost awe of their new home - regarded as the mother country - Great Britain.

What they encountered was a whole raft of new experiences: heavy overcoats, smoking chimneys and outright racism, including appalling violence. The programme is a tribute to the dedication of immigrant parents who, with a mixture of pushiness, high expectations, love and firm discipline, helped their children to work hard at school and eventually overcome the challenges of being black in Britain - decades before multiculturalism.

By giving a voice to a group of people who collectively illuminate the highs and lows of this small island’s turbulent history, this series is an open and honest conversation about British identity in the 21st Century.

Black And British: A Forgotten History BBC2, 21.00

Historian David Olusoga explores the enduring relationship between Britain and people whose origins lie in Africa. From the African trumpeter in the Tudor Courts to Queen Victoria’s African God daughter, it’s a history that has almost been forgotten.

In this series, David puts the record straight, while at the same time erecting 20 plaques across Britain, Africa and the Caribbean, commemorating significant people and events.

The story begins in the Cumbrian village of Burgh-by-Sands near the western end of Hadrian’s Wall. During the 3rd century AD, a unit of North African Roman soldiers was garrisoned in a fort here, making this the first known African community in Britain. Alongside the local community, David marks the village’s unique place in black British history with the first of the series’ plaques.

Emerging evidence shows that the African Romans raised families here too. In Eastbourne, David comes face to face with ‘Beachy Head Woman’.

The remains of an ancient, mysterious skeleton, nicknamed Beachy Head Woman, are put under forensic and isotopic analysis in order to reconstruct her identity. This analysis reveals that she was of African descent yet raised in East Sussex. David also examines how diverse the Roman town of York could have been.

David considers why there’s no visible trace of these populations today. He finds the answer in an encounter with Cedric Barber, an ostensibly white man whose great, great, great grandfather was a black Georgian. Through intermarriage, Cedric’s black heritage has all but vanished. David looks at evidence that suggests many white Britons may have hidden black ancestry.

Please adopt me! When kitty won’t stop the clawing CAT scratching your sofa?

Here’s why. Coming home to a tattered sofa is a cat owner’s worst nightmare, one that many are familiar with.

THIS lovely young rottweiler will soon be looking for a special home, where he will have space to run. He needs a new responsible owner, who will abide by Tenerife legislations and obtain the correct, dangerous-dog licence.

We are happy to assist you with this. Please do come and visit us if you may be interested in this dog, or any of the two hundred others who are seeking their forever homes.

Assistance required Please contact us if you can assist in any way on 922 778630. We always need tinned dog-food for our older animals, plus blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys, collars and leads. You can call into the Accion refuge on Monday, Tuesday,

Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2-5pm, and Saturdays between 1-4pm.

Find us here Accion del Sol is situated directly under the Ecological Park (exit 52) on the northbound TF-1. Head for the giant windmills, and you’ll find us in the buildings on the righthand side. E-mail the refuge at teneriffa@ aktiontier.org or, for further details, visit our Facebook page: action tier Accion del SOL

Scratching is natural feline behaviour, and punishment won’t work.

It’s crucial to understand that you can’t keep your cats from scratching. They enjoy it, and don’t understand punishment.

In fact, punishing your cat is more likely to make it scratch more, rather than stop it altogether.

Understanding why your cat scratches will help you to redirect its energy, in a way that’s acceptable for everyone.

Your cat is doing it for one of several reasons. It is a territorial instinct.

It allows your cat to mark its territory, and to keep its claws sharp.

Exercising keeps your cat in shape, and allows it to stretch - and work the muscles of the front legs.

When your cat is anxious, happy, excited or frustrated, scratching is one way to release these emotions. Give it a new place to scratch.

It’s a vital part of feline life, so you’ll need to invest in a scratching post.

But, just any post won’t do! The Sisal variety have a rough texture, which makes it easy to dig in and work the muscles, and it’s the perfect strength, and grain, to shred.

The post must allow your cat to extend the upper body. If it’s too small, it won’t create a good back-and-neck stretch, so your kitty will be forced to seek out a taller option (ie your sofa!).

Even more important than size, is weight. If it topples or shakes, your

cat won’t use it. Initially, put the post where your cat normally goes to scratch, and encourage its use by putting the food near it, and spraying, or rubbing, it with catnip. Reward your cat with a favourite treat, when it gets used!

Engaging kitty with string/feather toys, around the post, is also a great tactic. Given time, it will begin to think of it as “its space”.

Covering the former scratch-zone with aluminium foil - or double-sided tape - is a great deterrent, as these textures won’t feel good under the claws. A final idea is to blow a whistle, whenever you catch kitty scratching the protected area.

Found A very-frightened, young, female, blackand-white cat was found on 28th October in San Blas, Golf del Sur, at the side of the road.

She’s extremely soft and loves people, so must have belonged to someone. She’s been to the vet and has no injury, but, annoyingly, has no collar - or microchip.

Please get your cat microchipped, and fitted with a safety collar. We will shortly be looking to find her

a home. Would you like to meet her - with no obligation?

She will be m i c r o c h i p p e d , vaccinated and spayed.

Call, or Whatsapp, Maria on 646629129 (9-6pm), seven days a week, or message us on our website www.catswelfare -tenerife.com/ contacts.

Full details - and pictures - of all cats currently available can be found on our website w w w. c a t s - w e l f a r e tenerife/pets.

Charity table Our next Koala Sur charity table will be on 12th November (107pm) in Adeje and Las Chafiras, selling lots of beautiful, hand-made gifts. Pop along, have a browse, and support a good cause.

Food Review: Bombay Babu

From Callao to Torviscas, … and to my casa, as well

ALTHOUGH this is not the first time we’ve eaten at a Bombay Babu restaurant, it’s the first time we have dined at the newly-refurbished Callao Salvaje restaurant, the company’s second eaterie.

I thought it would be a good idea to visit their two other restaurants, to see if there were any differences between the quality of food - and the waiting staff.

So, we begin in Callao…

Bombay Babu, in Callao Salvaje, is on the main road heading down toward the beach area.

It has been refurbished to a high standard, and is spacious, with seating inside and out.

All their establishments are modern, comfortable and stylish, unlike the traditional, authentic Indian restaurants with their decor of vibrant colours, and layers of textures to set the mood.

Here, you will find mood lighting and an open kitchen. The decor allows the simplistic beauty of the food to shine through, although this isn’t the only thing bringing customers to Bombay Babu.

The restaurant buzzed with energy, and was comfortably full with seemingly-satisfied patrons.

After being greeted and seated, we studied the menu and began the evening with the usual papadums and pickle tray. Our starters followed - the Bombay Babu Especial, which we also enjoyed in the Torviscas restaurant.

This dish, which is made for sharing, consists of Onion Bhaji, Chicken Barra Kabab, Chicken Tikka, Pudina Tikka, Vegetable Pakora, Sheikh Kebab and Chicken Pakora.

The quality of the food was good, and was presented with passion.

We couldn’t fault any of the starters confirmed by the clean plate which went back - and, for me, there were a few stand-out items.

The truly-remarkable Pudina Tikka was a mouth-watering starter, which had a delectable mint flavour from the paste coating the Paneer Tikkas. The Vegetable Pakora was a deliciously-spiced combination of assorted vegetables - deep-fried

in chickpea batter - to golden perfection.

For the main course, I decided to go with the Rogan Josh Bombay Babu special, a mixture of chicken, Lamb Tikka and prawns. My partner ordered the bitter-sweet Chicken Pathia, with mango and coconut.

The Pathia is a popular curry, traditionally served at special social functions, such as births and marriages, among the Parsi population in India.

This is a sweet, sour and spicy curry - a result of normal Gujarati curry spices with mango and coconut. The spicy heat comes from fresh, green, hot-chilli peppers, and dried, red-chilli peppers.

The dish was cooked to perfection, as were all the dishes. The bright colours of the ingredients peeped through the curry sauce, which were a feast for the eyes, as well as the stomach! The flavour of the mango balanced the spiciness of the tender chicken.

I found this dish a bit too spicy for my liking, unlike the Rogan Josh, but I know a lot of people who would

willingly pay top-dollar for such a dish. The servings were big and reasonably priced.

To accompany the main dishes we had some old favourites: Pilau rice (an Indian, threecoloured, Basmati rice, flavoured with onions, cinnamon, cloves and herbs), cheese naan and Tandoori Roti - a thin Indian bread, cooked in the tandoor oven.

And now to Torviscas…

This restaurant, which has also been refurbished, sits along one of the main walkways down to the beach, just before the fashionable Kaluna Beach Club.

It really doesn’t matter from which direction you approach the restaurant, as you will see the Bombay Babu sign. The restaurant, modern and stylish, was full of happy diners.

We had papadums again, with a pickle tray, followed by the Bombay Babu Especial starter, and I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Barra Kabab.

For a proper comparison, we ordered the Rogan Josh Bombay Babu special, and the

Chicken Pathia.

Rogan Josh, a staple of Kashmiri cuisine, is one of the main dishes of the Kashmiri, multicourse meal. The type we ordered comprised chicken, lamb tikka and prawns, cooked with a gravy based on browned onions or shallots, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices.

Both dishes were what we expected, and tasted the same as in Callao.

And, finally … La Tajita This restaurant is located at La Tajita street market. It has been open for less than a year - and you can tell. When you walk into the restaurant, you know that everything has been planned from scratch: the layout, the decor, the ample parking right next to the restaurant - and the perfect, panoramic views from the glass wall.

However, as I have dined here several times, I thought I would see if there were any differences when ordering a takeaway to be delivered.

Although we had the same starter this time, we ordered a different main meal - a Jay Puri.

The phone call was received with the same eagerness as when you are in the actual restaurants, and our order was taken quickly and efficiently.

We were given a time for the delivery, and it arrived five minutes early, courtesy of a welldressed, polite and happy member of staff.

The quantity and quality of the food were the same as always. With the starter demolished, we unwrapped the main course: Jay Puri, Pilau rice and cheese naan, which were all still hot.

I had ordered a mild version of the Jay Puri, which I’d never had before. It was a semidense curry, made with fresh mushrooms and onions, and a touch of coconut, ginger and coriander. It was beautiful, and I will certainly have this again.

Having eaten at all their restaurants, I can honestly say that each one would not be out of place in a chic area of any modern city.

Gordon Slayney Slim’s reasons to be cheerful

by Val Sainsbury BLUECOAT extraordinaire Gordon Slayney was attempting to recreate a scene from the film Dirty Dancing.

It should have been a riproaring success at the Hoseasons holiday camp in D e v o n , where he worked in 1990.

T h e 24-year-old positioned himself on the dancefloor, legs apart, ready to catch his colleague as she ran towards him for the big lift.

Unfortunately, the only only thing ripping about this passionate performance was the crotch of his trousers!

All his hopes of emulating the legendary Patrick Swayze were dashed, cruelly, in an instant.

Whether or not it resulted in maximum exposure, I didn’t like to ask, as we chatted earlier this week!

Born in Nottingham, avid Forest football fan Gordon, 50, is on air with Oasis Fm from noon ‘til 3pm, on Saturdays and Sundays.

He tried his hand at several careers before settling here in Tenerife, six years ago.

“My first job was packing women’s knickers in a lingerie factory,” he recalled with a grin. “I was a lorry driver for a while, and

then became a national sales manager.

“I played the drums in a group. I sang, and ran quiz nights. I was a mobile DJ, as well as having a resident spot in Nottingham. I also worked on hospital radio in the city. “ But in 2010 I was made redundant - twice!

I used to holiday a lot in Tenerife, so, that year, I decided to give it a go out here. I watched the artistes and comperes, and thought I’d try the latter.

“It was lot of hard work, but I took advice from people. That’s what I would recommend to anyone who wants to walk the boards. I began by doing charity work performing at gigs and getting myself seen.”

Gordon had his broadcasting break, in Tenerife, with another radio station, copresenting a sports show.

Eventually, he was given his own slot.

“Station manager Phil West helped me enormously,” he said, “and I’d really like to thank him for teaching me so much.”

In August 2014, he applied to Oasis Fm - the year he was nominated for Best Compere at the Tenerife Entertainment Awards, known as the TEAs. “Being nominated was one of the proudest events of my life, and on

a par with my kids being born,” he enthused. “I didn’t care about not winning. A nomination is a nomination!

“I’m very proud of my two children, Josh, 24, and Charlotte, 21. They are the apple of my eye.

Josh is a drummer, and works as a waiter at a top hotel in Gloucester.

Charlotte is reading Geology at Cardiff University.”

He added: “This time last year I was on my uppers, and hardly had any work. This year, it has gone through the roof.”

Each week, he performs one night in Costa del Silencio, three nights in Los Cristianos, and two afternoons in San Eugenio.

“Since I was 18, I’ve always had a microphone in my hand,” he said.

“Dad used to sing in clubs, and I used to get dragged round all over the place!”

Gordon is known as The Real Slim Slayney, after The Real Slim Shady, a hit by American rapper, Eminem.

“I don’t mind,” he said.

“I’m a big lad, obviously.

Food is my subject.

Everybody knows me for that.”

He blames his portly silhouette on the beer, and bemoans the fact that he can’t find a decent kebab, here on the island “I eat rubbish,” he admitted, “but I do like Sunday dinners. I’m not big on vegetables - just a

typical, single bloke.”

When he was a lorry driver, he always listened to Terry Wogan. “He had a unique style,” said Gordon. “I learned a lot from him: be your own person, and pretend you’re talking to just one listener.”

He added: “I’m never lost for words. I was taught that one second of dead air on radio is like an hour. But, if you speak for more than a minute, you’re overdoing it!”

“When I first came here, I never imagined I’d be doing all that I am now.

I’m over the moon with it all.

“In a way, it’s a reward for all my efforts. Of all the many hats I wear over here, the studio is my solace - me with my headphones on, talking to my ‘listener’. I love the radio. It fits in well with my other work - singing and compering.”

This year, he hosted Oasis Fm’s “Tenerife Loves Karaoke” final at Showtime, as well as the heats, which took place in several bars.

“I entered the competition in 2012,” he remembered, “and I would never have believed that I’d have ended up hosting the proceedings, just four years later!

“I’ve always lived by two mottos: it’s not always dark at six in the morning, and you only get one chance to make a first impression.”

Special event, for a special lady GORDON is thrilled to have been asked to host - and organise - the acts performing at “Our Place”, Costa del Silencio, on Sunday (6th Nov) to raise funds for breast-cancer charity AECC. This will be the third year he has taken on this mantle.

The annual event is in memory of a very special person, Jenny Porter, who passed away, tragically, in 2009, after suffering with the disease.

Oasis Fm will be broadcasting live from the bar (3-6pm), and Gordon said: “I’m very proud to be hosting this event again.

“I arrange the acts, and they never let me down. Over the years, it has just got bigger and bigger.”

He added: “People come along from Silencio and the surrounding areas, and all you can see is a massive sea of pink.”

A SMOOTH OPERATOR

By Carl from Robot

By Miruna Voicu

Want to know my secrets for getting salon-smooth hair at home? Tired of styling your hair and not getting the results you want? Then read on … it all starts before you even wash your hair. Firstly, remove all tangles, even with shorter styles.

Then, wash and condition, using quality products that don’t promise, on the bottle, to smooth your hair.

This is pure invention.

Instead, use products that will moisturise and protect, that’s all you need.

After washing, apply your favourite hair

oil (mine’s Argan) to the soaking-wet hair.

Squeeze-dry with a towel, never rub!

Brush, not comb, the hair through, to remove tangles and to distribute the oil.

If you are blow-drying, then start on a fast speed, on medium heat, without a nozzle. When the hair is 80% dry, use a ceramic brush, not one made from plastic or wood.

Your hair doesn’t take shape around a brush until it’s 80% dry, so doing this when wet

will serve no purpose.

Continue to blow-dry your hair on maximum heat and at full speed, always working in a downward motion. This will act to smooth the cuticles.

Once dry, apply a few more drops of oil, and, if you have followed my guide, your hair should be smoother than ever.

It’s not rocket science, but repeating this process will ensure that you have smoother, glossier hair than ever before.

RED-CARPET VELVET

By Carl Pattison

It’s not as it used to be, and it isn’t as you remember.

VELVET is one of this season’s hottest fabrics, and it’s creeping into the stores, ready for the party season.

If you have worn it before, then it may bring back memories of mature schoolteachers and your grandma’s jacket! Banish all those thoughts, and check out the new velvet, be it smooth - or crushed.

Mixed in with rich, lace fabrics or the new metallics, velvet will give you a look, and feel, of pure opulence.

Drape yourself in it from head to toe, and include those matching shoes.

Or add a velvet item to a different fabric - it will blend, gladly, with leather, netting or silks.

Make sure you go for the

hottest velvet shades of blues, greens - and even violets - and stay away from old-school burgundies and plums.

This fabric needs to be noticed, so opt for eye-catching colours that don’t blend into the background.

If you’re going for the full look, then clash in a pair of velvet shoes of a different colour, to maximise the effect.

Even if you’re of a heavier frame, velvet drapes well, so it can hide those areas you don’t really want to show. Snap up this look, quickly, as it’s not going to be on the shelves for long. With Christmas around the corner, it will be one of this year’s hottest party looks.

sleep. You can use side lamps to create zones of intimate light within larger rooms. There are many technological improvements which provide a better lighting effect - and save money at the same time.

Standard bulbs heat up a wire filament causing the bulb to light, but 90% of the energy used to illuminate a regular bulb is spent on heat, rather than light.

Halogen bulbs have a lifespan which is, approximately, three times longer than the standard bulb, because they concentrate the heat created with halogen gas, so need less energy.

LEDs (light-emitting diodes) conduct electricity in one direction only, rather than scattering it, which means that they produce a spectrum of colours, easily and

brightly, while using very little electricity to do so - and don’t give off much heat.

LEDs can last up to 25 times longer than a normal bulb. The problem, of course, is that they are more expensive, but they will save money on your energy bills, and are environmentallyfriendly.

Why not consider replacing your bulbs, or even going for some new, and more-modern, fittings? LED bulbs do not need to be the traditional shape, although they are currently produced this way, to work with existing fittings.

This opens up a myriad of possibilities of different shapes and styles of lighting, with different colour ranges and intensities.

By Val Sainsbury CYSTITIS can blight many women’s lives, and, unless immediate treatment is sought, they can suffer endless and repeated episodes of this agonising condition.

Once a women has suffered a urinary tract infection (UTI), she is likely to go through the same experience, time and again, and medical science has been unable to understand why this should be the case.

Now, though, research has discovered that a certain type of E. coli bacteria, which causes cystitis, can “reprogramme” the lining of the bladder.

These changes to the

4th November - 10th November 2016

Water pain this is bladder’s cells means the bacteria can return - and strike more easily!

The study authors believe that the new understanding of why the infections strike repeatedly could lead to the development of a vaccine, to protect people who suffer from the condition so often.

Some 60% of women will have one bladder infection in their lifetime, and 25% of these will have a further infection, by the same bacteria, in the following six months.

The research team at America’s Washington University, in St Louis, said the reason for the repeat infections was poorly understood. “The disease is a significant health, financial and quality-of-life burden worldwide,” they added.

In a study of mice, they found that there were two outcomes when mice were infected with the bacteria: either they resisted the infection

after the first 14 days, or they suffered persistent bladder infections.

The key issue was whether the infection was treated with antibiotics. If it were not treated within 14 days, the scientists found that this allowed time for the E. coli to “remodel” the lining of the bladder.

This allowed the bacteria to multiply more easily on the bladder wall.

The treated mice were highly resistant and could challenge infection, while the ones treated later were sensitised, and

became predisposed to developing severe, recurrent cystitis.

And the bladders of the affected mice were altered irreversibly.

But the authors said that the changes to the bladder wall meant that a vaccination could be developed to prevent repeat infections.

Initial tests on monkeys showed that those animals suffering repeated bladder infections could be treated with a vaccine.

This would strengthen the altered cells, in the bladder lining, which had been hijacked by the bacteria.

The study could reveal vulnerabilities in the way the disease develops, which might lead to new drug treatments.

Louise de Winter, chief executive of The Urology Foundation, a charity dedicated to combating UTIs, said: “UTIs are the bane of people’s lives. Most women will have at least one UTI during their lifetime, and many will have repeated attacks.

“They are painful and debilitating, and can have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of life.

“Any research that shows the potential to solve this problem that affects so many of us, in this instance potentially via a vaccine, is to be welcomed.”

She added: “We need to wait and see what this research fully delivers, but we welcome research in this area.”

Professor Christopher Fry, chair in Applied

Physiology and Head of School of Physiology and Pharmacology at University of Bristol, said on behalf of The Urology Foundation: “The message with UTIs is that they are very difficult to treat.

We know that they recur and are extremely uncomfortable.

“The difficulty of treatment is a feature of UTIs with conventional antibiotics, and this, and their tendency to recur, has been understood for quite a while now.

“What is novel about this research is that it has identified a way in which UTIs can recur and become resistant to conventional, antibiotic treatment.”

The Professor added: “This gives a clue as to why they are so difficult to treat and recur so readily, leaving a residual effect that is not going to be tackled by conventional antibiotics.”

Feel secure, with seat-belts

By Emma at Motorworld

WE are all aware that wearing a seat-belt is obligatory, but, sadly, many people still do not use them. Yet they are designed to enable the driver, passengers and animals - as well as large objects such as cases and boxes - to travel safely in a vehicle.

Their obligatory use was introduced in Spain in 1975, but many countries have their own laws regarding them, which have been introduced at different times.

There is a clear difference between when it was obligatory to wear a seat-belt, and when it was obligatory for the manufacturers to

fit them. But, in general, most countries made it compulsory for front seat-belts to be fitted - and worn. Rear seatbelts were introduced many years later.

Children must always be safely and securely

seated in a vehicle, not only wearing a seat-belt correctly, but in the appropriate car seat - or booster seat - as well.

This is dependent on size, age or height. Full details can be found on the DGT site.

Animals may be carried, but, in accordance with the law, they must be placed in the rear of the vehicle, and secured.

They must be restrained with an appropriate dogharness, most of which

are linked into the seat-belt fixture with a strap.

The animal, then safe and secure, cannot interfere with the driver’s line of vision, or cause a distraction by jumping around, etc.

If you have a large dog, and a suitable vehicle such as a Peugeot Partner, Citroen Berlingo or similar - a dog-guard can be fitted, allowing the dog to travel safely in the vehicle’s “boot” area.

The correct way to wear a seat-belt is also important because, worn incorrectly, it will not provide the appropriate assistance in the event of an accident or sudden stop.

You must wear the seat-belt over your shoulder, passing down the upper torso of your body and engaged firmly and securely!

Do not put it under your arm because this may injure you in an accident, and might not restrain you correctly. If, like many women, especially, you find this position uncomfortable, you may purchase - from a

car accessory shops, or online - padded seatbelt covers.

They fit over the belts and are usually secured with Velcro. This creates a buffer-effect, making them more comfortable to wear.

Seat-belts can also be used to secure large loads or boxes you may be carrying in the rear of the vehicle, which don’t fit into your boot.

There are, of course, fines and sanctions for not wearing a seat-belt, not wearing it correctly, and for transporting animals without the proper restraints.

Check the seatbelts, periodically, for evidence of fraying etc, as well as the fixings, to ensure your continued safety when travelling.

If you have any doubts that the belt is not working properly - or is severely worn - get in touch with your garage.

Ask them to check, and, if necessary, supply and fit a new one.

Second-hand belts are not recommended because your safety - and that of your passengers - should be a priority.

4th November - 10th November 2016

Roosters well-cooked WE had a break in action from the Direct Telecom Pool League this week as we enjoyed the first round of the PJ Electrical & Building Services Cup competition.

The draw didn’t throw up many giant-killing opportunities, apart from one which saw Division Two’s James Hammer C take on Terrace Roosters, from Division One. The away side were struggling to put together a side, with several players missing, But take nothing away from Hammers, who were on fire.

Ken and James got them off to a great start with wins against Scudz and Warren, and they never looked back. They took another four in a row and knew they were guaranteed at least a draw.

The next two frames went the way of the visitors, as Scudz and Warren made amends for their earlier displays. But when Scudz returned to the table for the ninth frame, he

again faced Ken, and the Hammers C player triumphed for the second time as his side marched into the next round.

Dreamers A, who tasted Plate success last season, were hoping to add the Cup to their trophy cabinet this season as they played Gaffers B. And, on current league positions, the Los Cristianos team were surely favourites.

It was a tight affair, though, with both teams playing excellent pool, refusing to give an inch, and it was allsquare after the regulation 12 frames.

The match hinged on a decider, and Graham stepped forward from Gaffers B after winning all three of his earlier frames. And, with confidence coursing through his veins, he held his nerve to pot the black, and Gaffers B had it in the bag.

There was a shock result in an all-Division Two clash as title-favourites Picasso’s A faced off against league newcomers Palms Rebels. The home side were off-form early on, but, credit to Andy, Mark and Mick as they gave the Rebels a 3-1

Wayne took the next frame to cut the deficit, but Andy and Mick both won again, and, after eight frames, the visitors held a twoframe lead again.

Picasso’s needed to rally, but Dave and

Mark played two superb frames to put Rebels through to the second round.

Exiles B against Yates Bar promised to be an interesting clash as both teams are going well in Division Two and they didn’t disappoint.

Across the first four frames there was nothing to choose between them. But in the second session, Terry, Dan and Biggie gave Yates a two-frame lead. How would Exiles B respond?

Well, Jeff fluffed his lines and was beaten

by Dan, and it looked as though it could be all over for the home side. But Tomas, Jason and Callum were not finished, and three fine frames levelled the scores to clinch a decider.

It was Jeff against Dan again, but, unfortunately for the home side, the outcome was the same as before,

with Dan winning and Yates Bar going through by a slender margin.

Palms A’s fine season continued, but they were pushed all the way by Rewind Rewired. It was a thrilling contest, which saw some high-quality pool, and a fair bit of high-quality snooker!

All the frames were close, and defence was very much the theme of the night. The first eight frames were all won by the player who didn’t break!

That can happen on table one at Palms, but the sequence was finally broken by Bookie Mark in frame 9, to give Palms the lead for the first time. Then, the games were won by the breaker! The 6-6 scoreline was a fair reflection, but the decider was a one-way affair.

Chris had not been at his best for Palms, but with his mother, sisters and nieces watching on, he fancied the challenge. And he delivered in style with some sweet pool to blow away Victor and book Palms a second-round place.

Terrace Bantams’ last league game, against Bluebell A in Los Cristianos, was lost, so they were looking for revenge as the teams faced off in the cup down on Amarilla Golf.

The signs looked ominous for the home side when Paul lost the first frame, but that was to be the only blip on the night.

The visitors will rue their missed chances - on more than one occasion, they rattled blacks, leaving them in the pockets.

But Bantams were in fine form, and, after losing that first frame, they went on to win the next seven to take the match.

Hoppys probably had one of the tough-

est tasks of the draw: a home game against Tenerife Hammers A. But a potential giantkilling was on.

The home side gave a good account of themselves. but it was always going to be a difficult fight for them. Hammers A have seasons of experience, winning the trophy on more than one occasion, so they know what they are doing.

They controlled the match from the first frame, and, despite a couple of setbacks, they took the win.

Phoenix Potters fancied their chances at home against Exiles A, who tend not to travel well. It was a close affair, and difficult to see which team would emerge victorious. Exiles A got their noses in front, and, as the last frame rolled around, the Potters needed a win to take it to a deciding frame.

They thought the chances were there for the draw when Ben, from the visitors, snookered himself on the black. But what followed was sheer magic as Ben played a fantastic shot to take the win.

On paper, Treehouse A against Gaffers A looked like being the match of the night as these heavyweights clashed in Chayofa.

Every time the away side got themselves in front, Treehouse A hit back. Over the first eight frames there was nothing in it, so the clash was nicely poised going into the final session.

The visitors struck first blood, then added to their tally with the next frame to be 6-4 ahead. Treehouse A needed a couple of big frames, but it wasn’t to be as Gaffers A took the next frame. Giving them the seven they needed for victory.

Hatter's Hallowe'en hit!

WITH all due respect, I have only ever met one Luton Town FC supporter, and that's Andy, who plies his trade for Division 1 leaders, Pas O Nadas A. Hence his nickname “The Hatter”.

Not quite as mad as a hatter, though, as he showed during his team's emphatic 7-1 win over PSB, in which he struck his second and third - maximums this season.

The result gave us a new leader - for the umpteenth time this term! Spear Chuckers' trebles-leg success ensured victory at The Pub, and moved them above Scruffys and into second spot, while Phoenix had POD notching his second 180, as they whitewashed Sandys.

It’s honours even

Tacuense 1 Egatesa 1 AS historic meetings go, the first Primera League clash featuring these two Granadilla ladies’ clubs wasn’t a classic. But with a 1-1 finish, both teams emerged with reputations intact.

The game was played at Taco, near Santa Cruz, and, fittingly, the ground was bursting at the seams.

After an even first half, Tania smashed in a long-range free-kick which Noelia Ramos, Granadilla’s Under-17 Spain keeper, couldn’t stop. But the lead was short-lived as Sara Tui hit back with a header 12 minutes later.

Egatesa return to home action in El Medano tomorrow (Saturday) against Real Betis, kick-off 5pm.

Nathan fired in his fourth 180 for Exiles, but his team had little else to shout about, after shipping six points to Gaffers.

A 7-1 thrashing of Bar 180 means that The Tavern have now amassed over a hundred Division 2 points, after 19 matches played. An impressive haul so far, and one which makes them strong favourites to lift the title.

Picassos look like they are keen to join the promotion party, and remain within striking distance with a 6-2 win over Legends, with two games in hand.

Andy hit his maiden maximum for Emerald Lounge, but the San Blas outfit had to hold the last rubber to beat the Playgirls. Waterfall continued their strong form, with a 6-2 win over Clouseaus, to push themselves up into fourth place.

Water-ski racers are a mighty eye-opener THEY are used to a mixture of water craft in Playa San Juan, but the roar of the powerful speedboat engines at the weekend attracted big crowds to the Tenerife International Open Water Ski Racing Championships at Playa San Juan.

Over two days, the five categories brought fierce rivalry and mutual respect, in equal measure, as competitors negotiated the large oval circuit, marked out beyond the promenade ,with La Gomera crystal-clear in the distance.

With riders, drivers, and observers flitting constantly from one competing country to another, there was plenty of helpful “loaning” of personnel and machines in the busy, quayside pit area.

The Junior category

was won by Britain’s Hannah Bird, from Spaniard Adrian Fuentes Rodriguez.

It’s a good time for GB because the national team have just qualified for next year’s World Championships in Seattle.

The next challenge for most of the GB squad is the slightly-lessglamorous Kings Lynn

river races. The Ladies F1 title went to Austrian Sabine Ortlieb, with her

sister, Kathrin, not far behind in second place.

The Ladies F2 title

was just as tough to call, Spain’s Angela Montanes Verdaguer clinching it. Like all the Spanish group taking part, Angela is from Tenerife, which is a hotbed of racing talent.

The UK’s Nadia Jay Mersey finished second.

The big International Open title showed the diversity of nations competing. Steven Van Gaeveren, of Belgium, lifted the trophy, with Britain’s Sam Clapson battling through for the runner-up spot.

That left the Veterans’ prize to be earned, and Bas Hagenbeek, of Holland, added another nation to the role of honour. Laurent Pradal flew the French flag in second place.

Overall, it was a wellattended addition to the busy Tenerife sporting calendar, and thoroughly enjoyed.

COMETH the hour, cometh the men. The clocks were about to go back an hour, the Heliodoro heat suggested that summer had sneaked back in, and, at last, Tenerife found some hot form.

They kept their nerve to dispose of fallen giants Rayo Vallecano at home. When a coach is under pressure, he looks to the players. And in the week leading up to the match, several had spoken of their confidence in boss Pep Marti.

They also demonstrated their feelings in practical form when they embraced the subtle changes he made to the game plan.

Amath, in the starting line-up, showed a willingness to break free from his normal leftwing role and take centre stage.

Strike partner Choco Lozano, who looked more lively from the start, powered in a 15thminute header from a left-flank cross by Camille.

It came after Tenerife survived an opening salvo from Rayo, the former Primera side who are most people’s tip for a quick return.

Manucho was a handful up front, his early header just clearing the home bar.

4th November - 10th November 2016

Choco and Amath timing is just right CD Tenerife 3 Rayo Vallecano 2 Tenerife’s midfield showed more attacking intent. Aitor threaded a ball through to Amath down the centre of the pitch, and he drew out a defender and the keeper before planting the ball in the net.

We were pinching ourselves: 2-0 up after just 22 minutes, and richly deserving the advantage. But teams like Rayo, who don’t just lie down, looked a class outfit and pushed for a comeback. Dani Hernandez had to tip away a mean shot by Cristaldo, but the next attack was only half-cleared, leaving Beltran to strike a longrange scorcher into the home net.

Holding on until the break was vital for Tenerife, and they held firm.

Nacho hit an agonisingly-slow shot just wide, yet the home remained comfortable. But they suffered a major blow when Lozano pulled up with an injury, thought at the time to be a leg strain, and had to be carried off.

It was later discovered that it was worse than feared, and a torn fibrillar muscle mean he will

miss up to eight matches.

Tenerife, opening the second half with bright intentions, switched Amath and Suso on the margins of the pitch. Amath tried his luck from the right and forced the keeper to smother the ball, with Jouini, who replaced Lozano, lurking nearby.

Aaron wasn’t making much impact, so Marti gave a rare run-out to Alex Garcia, who revelled in his opportunity, showing his pace and eye for a good pass.

But it was Aitor’s quick thinking which turned defence into attack to feed Amath for the third home goal.

The young loanee forward, from Atletico Madrid, showed clinical finishing to stretch the lead to 3-1.

There was a little slip back to old ways soon after the goal as poor marking gave Mojica room down the left to set up Manucho for a bullet header.

And at 3-2, it could have been a nervy finish had Tenerife back-pedalled. But they kept taking the game to Rayo,

and only poor finishing prevented a wider margin of success.

Alex Garcia did the hard work for Jouini with a delicate cross, and the big forward should have buried the ball. But even so, the

keeper was lucky to force it wide for a corner.

Late on, Galan fouled Amath as he sought his hat-trick, but his resulting free-kick flashed wide. Five minutes of injury-time frustrated the 7,416 crowd, but the

final whistle brought huge relief to them, and the players.

An uphill push for Top Guia honours

A SEA-FACING café table proved the perfect front-grid seat for spectators at the weekend’s Subida (hill climb) Guia de Isora, as cars swept through Playa San Juan on their Saturday-morning test runs.

The serious action, bursting up the TF-483, was scheduled over two Saturday afternoons and one on Sunday morning.

And the time-trial combined points for the Canary Islands

championships, as well as the Spanish mountain event. It was all very tight, with splitseconds separating places.

Winner in the barquetas class was La Laguna based Jonathan Mo-

rales, who clocked 3mins 6.431secs in his Silver Car 52.

Just a whisker behind was Javier Afonso (Daute Realejos) 3mins 8.593secs.

In the Turismo car class, Enrique ‘the

missile’ Cruz, in the Disa Porsche 91, left rivals in his wake with a record-busting 3mins 17.639secs.

Fernando Capdevila was a strong second in the Ford Focus WRC, clocking 3mins 21.814secs.

Marino go goal-crazy You can’t expect much mercy in a local derby, and Las Zocas were demolished by a Marino team who were goal-hungry, right up to the final whistle on their home pitch.

Their squad, who are evolving fast, eliminated the wobble that has seen them pegged back from a commanding position in recent games.

With 15 minutes to go and 3-0 ahead, the only Las Zocas goal was answered quickly, twice, to seal the points.

The home team changed tactics to bombard Las Zocas with long, deep balls to the wings, which unsettled the visitors’ defence.

The versatile Kevin Castro played the central striker’s role, with Amed having his best game in a blue shirt out on the left, and Fran Alonso patrolling the right.

It was a typically bruising local clash derby, but FIFA-level referee Marta Huerta de Aza let just enough go to ensure the fire wasn’t smothered.

Amed saw an early cross drift out of play. and a poor clearance from Las Zocas back-up goalie David was nearly punished.

Cristian made some early progress against the Marino defence, but a wild shot was well wide of the target.

Kevin Castro, who always torments the opposition, looked to have sneaked in for an opening goal, only to have the ball blocked

CD Marino 5 Las Zocas 1

by David. Home keeper Marko Cicovic didn’t get his first touch until 20 minutes had passed,

Ibra testing him low down. Amed tucked a delicate pass to Castro, but keeper David was

again quick to respond.

Las Zocas had their best spell, with Ibra and Ivan combining well to create chances which didn’t have the best of finishes.

Mendy had to make a late clearance off the line as Ibra and Esau opened up the home defence on the left - but again, the finish wasn’t quite good enough.

With half-time looming, Marino put the pressure on, the ball pinging around the reds’ box until Amed drilled it into the net for a vital lead.

Marino must have enjoyed their half-time cuppa because they returned with goals on their minds.

Castro, so difficult to mark, squeezed behind the away defence and set up Amed to double the lead.

He came close to wrapping up a hat-trick a few minutes later, picking his way through

Euro glory lights domestic success

AWAY games hold no fears for Iberostar Tenerife basketball team, who have returned home from Bilbao with a 91-81 victory to keep them in second place in Spain’s top league, behind Real Madrid.

It was another chance for the squad to show that they all can chip in with big scores when needed.

Leading the way was Fran Vazquez with 16 points, closely followed by IrishAmerica pivot Will Hanley (14) and Davin White (13) and 11 assists, equalling the club-record.

The Tuesday European League clash

meant an epic 15-hour trip to Lithuania to play Utenos Juventus … and surely the squad would suffer.

But the players rose above it all and claimed a 93-71 victory.

The key action came in the third quarter with a 24-7 advantage, and all the players, led by Carl English (18 points), scored solidly Victory made it three

out of three in Europe, which leaves Tenerife well on the way to qualifying for the next stage.

This Sunday, it’s back to Liga Endesa action at home against Estudiantes at 12.30pm, and, on Wednesday, there’s more European League action, entertaining French team Strasbourg at 7.30 pm in La Laguna.

the defence. But he couldn’t get a telling shot in.

If Las Zocas thought it might get easier, they were wrong. Fau Valiente made way for Adan, an old-school centre-forward, who added more power and strength to the home attack.

On the hour, a crossball into the box was just too high for the leaping Amed, but Mendy, poised behind him, headed the ball straight and true past the keeper.

But Las Zocas showed some fight, Esau got a decent shot in at the other end, but the alert Coly headed the danger away.

Amed went off to generous applause from the home crowd, as Josemi joined the action during one of the visitors best spells.

Sub Bene Aro burst through to fire the ball past the diving Cicovic to reduce the arrears, which could have signalled a comeback.

Yet Marino responded with more of the attacking game which had already served them well. Adan pounced on a loose ball as the Las Zocas defence froze and beat the keeper for the fourth goal … and normal service was resumed!

Esau, pick of the visitors’ forwards, forced Cicovic to turn aside a shot for a corner, but it was a brief respite because Marino were still hungry.

And, just before the final whistle, Adan exploited a one-on-one with a defender and rounded off a fine, allround display from the home side.

Islanders making worldwide mark PLAYING for your local team is a proud achievement, but many Tenerife-born sporting stars have to look abroad for fame and fortune - or simply to earn a living.

Here are two favourite sons who are doing rather well on the international stage.

Dani Mederos, from Santa Cruz, is a goalkeeper with a big task ahead: he plays in Norway’s Cup Final on 20th November for Second Division giant-killers Kongsvinger against former Champions League regulars Rosenbourg in Oslo.

The 26-year-old played for CD Tenerife B and San Isidro, before moving to Norway in 2013 and spending three seasons with Nybergsund.

In March this year, Mederos joined Kongsvinger and has been a key part of the run to their first cup final. With youth on his side and goalkeepers playing top-flight football regularly, long beyond outfield players, a big performance from

him could attract leading scouts.

Sergio Rodriguez also has reliable hands.

At 30, the La Lagunaborn basketball guard is getting a second bite at the big time after signing for Philadelphia 76ers, in the NBA. After starting out with Estudiantes, and getting noticed in highprofile trial games, Sergio was signed by Phoenix Suns in 2006 and was, immediately, traded off to Portland Trail Blazers, where he excelled for four seasons.

Spells with Sacremento Kings and New York Knicks, with decreasing game time at each club, led to his 2010 transfer to the allconquering Real Madrid team in Spain’s Liga Endesa.

And all the while, he was enjoying international success with Spain’s national side.

Sergio, Now back in the NBA, can enjoy a few more high-profile seasons. And, maybe, he might just slip on a home-town vest for Iberostar Tenerife in a few years.
