Beach gets the Blues! Fanabe is heavily criticised by the Canaries’ inspector

THIS year’s withdrawal of a prestigious Blue Flag awarded to the Playa Fanabe beach has led to scathing criticism of the Adeje municipality. It is one of five Tenerife’s beaches to have lost the status in recent weeks, and Eladio Díaz, the Blue Flag inspector in the Canaries, singled out Adeje in particular. Fanabe, which comes under the Adeje administration, flew the flag in 2009 and last year, and Diaz said: “It’s a shame they do not look after their beaches, considering the local economy is based around it.” He added that there were safety issues at the Adeje beach, and that the important lifeguard post had to be much improved in order to reach the qualifying standard for the international award again. Of the 10 Blue Flags awarded in Tenerife in June, only five remain. And, warns García, there will be more inspections over the next few weeks. Another Southern resort which had its Blue Flag status removed this year is the Leocadio Machado beach in El Médano, although the inspector offered no reason for this reversal. The loss of the award at beaches in El Socorro (Los Realejos) and Playa Jardín (Puerto de la Cruz), followed by the latest withdrawal at Tacaronte, means there are no Blue Flag beaches in the North Tenerife. Playa Jardin officials will have been kicking themselves as they lost their status because the lifeguard was not in position when the beach was inspected. The Blue Flag award programme, which started in France, was elevated to international status in 1987 and has since turned global, featuring in 41 countries. It is instigated annually by the Foundation for Environmental

Education (FEE) - a non-government, non-profit organisation to beaches offering high standards of facilities and services to residents and tourists alike, plus cleanliness of both coastal waters and surrounding areas. And local prestige is not the only thing at stake because diligent holiday-makers, travelling to a country (or island) for the first time, invariably check out their destinations. This seal of approval by the FEE to beaches also means so much to their respective Town Halls. That’s because Tenerife, always mindful of the tourist industry, regards holiday-makers as even more essential to the economy in these austere times. It also means a lot to the tourists, who know they can sunbathe and swim to their hearts’ content, safe in the knowledge that their beaches and the surrounding areas have again been awarded the ultimate accolade. They know the water is of excellent quality, as are the toilet facilities, and that the general area is in tip-top condition. The Troya beach in Playa de Las Americas, also in the Adeje municipality and a regular Blue Flagger, is flying high again this summer. In fact, Troya can be seen as a role model in the South because it has received the Blue Flag award every year barring 2008 since 1997. That speaks volumes for the care and attention shown by everyone involved in keeping the beach in pristine condition. Rafael Dolado, Adeje’s recently-appointed Tourism Councillor, who attended the Troya flag-hoisting ceremony last month, said: It is a great pleasure to provide our residents and tourists with a quality beach such as Troya. “So far this summer, it is attracting a high concentration of visitors, who opt for our natural and recreational facilities.” But how will Adeje’s tourist chief react to the stinging criticism of Playa Fanabe, dished out by the Canaries’ Blue Flag inspector?

Ryanair co-pilot faints on a flight to Canaries THE Spanish aviation authorities are investigating after a Ryanair co-pilot fell ill and fainted on a flight from Italy to the Canary Islands, forcing the pilot to divert to another airport. The incident occurred on July 6th, as the 737 jet was en route from Pisa to Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria, with 125 passengers and crew onboard. The authority responsible for investigating aircraft incidents and accidents in Spanish skies - (CIAIAC) – has released a preliminary report detailing the events that unfolded in the cockpit on Flight FR-7676. According to the report, the first officer complained of feeling ill about half an hour

into the flight and the captain picked up his duties by taking charge of communications. The report adds: “A few minutes later, the co-pilot’s condition worsened and the captain requested the cabin service supervisor to enter the flight

deck to take care of him. “The first officer then lost consciousness so the captain declared a medical emergency and diverted to Gerona Airport. “During the descent into Gerona, the first officer regained consciousness but ‘re-

mained incapacitated’.” The plane landed without incident at Gerona airport, where an ambulance was waiting to take the co-pilot to hospital. It is not yet clear what caused the co-pilot to lose consciousness.

Three tragedies in just a week THREE tragic deaths have been recorded in the past week or so in Tenerife, and mystery surrounds the last one. It happened on Tuesday morning when a 23-year-old Frenchman was found dead near the pool at a hotel in Avenida de Venezuela, Las Americas, after falling from a fourth-floor balcony. Foul play is not suspected and an autopsy is being carried out, although it is almost certain that his head injuries were caused as a result of the fall. Two days earlier, a 53-year-old man, enjoying a day out with his family, drowned on Sunday afternoon in Playa San Juan, Guia de Isora. A group of bathers noticed the body floating in the water, apparently lifeless. Some of them lifted the man on to dry land and he appeared to be breathing. However, attempts to resuscitate him failed and nothing

could be done to save his life. Onlookers, unaware of what was happening, called local emergency number 112. The Emergency Services (SUC) sent a medically-equipped helicopter to the scene, and staff continued with resuscitation, to no avail. Local police, who took charge of the investigation, also collaborated with the helicopter crew, who landed on a small pier near the beach. Among those who saw the incident was Guia de Isora’s Human Resources Minister Carmen Alicia Gonzalez, who said: “Everything happened so fast. “Someone saw the body floating, nearly dead, and pulled it from the water. But soon after, it was confirmed that he had died.” By coincidence, a group of doctors and nurses were on the beach and helped in the recovery, but they could not save him. It was the second reported drowning on the Island within a few days because a man died on Los Patos beach in La Orotava the previous Wednesday.

AI: not artificial intelligence ... According to recent tourism figures visitors who opted for all-inclusive on the island was limited to just 18 percent over all in 2010. Interestingly, more than half of the nearly five million tourists who spent their holiday in Tenerife in 2010 did so in halfboard (27.4 percent) or self catering (25.6 percent) , while all inclusive was the third preference, limited to 18 per cent. The rest of the travellers opted for the bed and breakfast, full board or flight only option. The data means that only one in five of the visitors to Tenerife choose all inclusive, contrary to local views.

All inclusive is favoured apparently Italians, Belgians and Danes as opposed to Norwegians, Russians and Irish. Figures also illustrate that the all inclusive is widely used by travellers who arrive on the island for the first time, but not by the repeaters, and the regime is widespread amongst young tourists. Now, according to data from the survey it is estimated that the number of hotels that offer the all-inclusive (and others) on the island is 94, about 35% of the total. Editors comment: Canarian Weekly would like to suggest that the Tourist Research Department that carry out the survey come and visit the resorts in the south of

Tenerife, as at present, there appear not enough colours in the rainbow for all of the wrist bands that we see here on a daily basis.

Canary Islands Government recalled early President of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, has announced that the Government will reconvene on August 25th. This is earlier than anticipated, typically in Spain and the Canary Islands, August, the hottest month is always the month of holidays. Rivero has stated on his blog that, the start of the political season "can not wait until September," August is proving to be a tough month. The President has discreetly

been holding informal meetings, and following developments in the EU closely. He feels that the Canaries needs to start working now, one of the things they will be looking at is to "review and update the Government's agenda" because we will have to "redouble our efforts." "For right now we have to work all together in defending the position of the islands, since no one is aware that a few months ahead will be very demanding and difficult at this stage, possibly the most difficult because of

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

the crisis in the EU at all levels," said Paulino Rivero. There is obviously tension in Spain due to the economic crisis and the looming Spanish election in November. "Whatever the outcome of the general elections, it should open a period in which the timing is imposed to opportunism, a stage to recover the culture of consensus like in the seventies. Only the ability to achieve these great covenants allow Spain to face the transition into economic reality," comneted Rivero.

Illegals are rounded up by coastguards NEARLY 100 would-be migrants attempted to enter Spain this week by sailing into various ports on three, jerry-built rafts. The fleet, comprising 57 Moroccan and Algerian men and two teenagers, was intercepted by coastguards at about 10pm on Wednesday, some 36 miles off the Cabo de Gata coast (Almería). They were finally apprehended two miles out to sea off the shores of Carboneras, while another nine, including two babes in arms, all of

sub-Saharan African origin, were caught off the coast of Melilla. That incident happened off the north Moroccan coast, just after midnight, and only a day after 22 others had been detained attempting to enter the city by the same method. Melilla’s temporary shelter for illegals holds 750 people, although it was built to contain just 480. Five Moroccan men on an inflatable dinghy and 12 North African males on a light craft were also intercepted a few miles out to sea off Cádiz and Lanzarote respectively.

A Word from Save lives - cut your speed! our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Peddling the good life! SOMETIMES, just sometimes, it is difficult to fathom out what’s going on the world, and why there are so many surveys which seem to contain a mass of contradictions.

Take this week’s news by “academics”, which suggests that every hour spent in front of the telly watching programmes, DVDs and videos can cut your life expectancy down by 22 minutes. And the research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine also suggests TV-viewing for six hours a day can knock five years off your life. It’s as bad for your health, say these experts, as smoking and obesity because of the dangers of inactivity and the opportunities for eating rubbish food. Worrying, eh? But other research in the highly-respectable medical journal The Lancet shows that daily exercise of just 15 minutes can increase your lifespan by up to three years. These “experts” conducted their survey in Taiwan, but it involved an impressive 400,000 adults, who took part in a medical screening programme over a 12-year period.

The academics’ study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from being glued to the screen and their research involved more than 11,000 people over 25. Their conclusion in the British Journal of Sports Medicine was that “TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life that is comparable to other major chronic disease risk factors, such as physical inactivity and this finding is, apparently, also comparable to risk factors such as smoking (other research shows that one cigarette cuts 11 minutes off a lifespan, which, if you do the maths, is equivalent to 30 minutes in front of the box. Surprise, surprise, Sally Davies, England’s Chief Medical Officer, said the study confirmed existing knowledge that a “sedentary lifestyle” carried additional health risks. Boston’s Harvard School of Public Health weighed in by saying it was “biologically plausible” that prolonged TV viewing resulted in disease and premature death. Yet another study suggested that sedentary behaviour was linked to obesity, high levels of bad blood fats and other heart-disease risk factors. Sally Davies added: “Physical activity offers huge benefits and we hope these studies will help more people realise there are many ways to get exercise.” So here’s the perfect answer for keeping your life-span potential at least on an even keel: get yourself an exercise bike, set it up in front of the telly and pedal away to your heart’s (and health’s) content. You’ll be safe in the knowledge that you are following all the advice on offer for a long life. Unless, of course, you fall off the bike and crack your head open!

Happy peddling, until next week…

WATCH your speed! That’s the message from Spain’s Guardia Civil officers, who will be enforcing their latest summer campaign against speeding on the roads on Sunday.

They began monitoring 2,000 stretches of road across the country on Tuesday with 295 mobile speeddetectors, and the traffic police expect to run the rule over at least 100,000 cars per day. Spain’s ministry of traffic, the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), says 427 people died in 389 car accidents last year, with speeding one of the main causes. And in the first six months of the year, 140 people were killed on Spain’s roads. Pere Navarro (pictured), DGT’s Director-General, believes a 5% reduction in the average speed could reduce fatal accidents by 20%. And all motorists here in Tenerife are also asked to bear that in mind, especially when they get that urge to put their foot down and ignore speed limits.

Spanish property is still favourite According to Internationl payments company - HiFX - new figures have revealed that a large percentage of Brits still favour making a money transfer and purchasing property in Spain. Data from the College of Registrars shows people from the UK were the biggest buyers of second homes in the country than any other nation. Last year, 4,350 properties were snapped up by British investors, while the French bought 1,627, making Britons responsible for one in every four purchases by foreigners. However, despite UK buyers leading the field, 2010 saw a rise in demand from northern Europeans. Mark Stucklin, managing director of home information web site Spanish Property Insight, welcomed the diversification of investors.

He commented: "The holiday-home market used to be far too dependent upon British buyers, which was a risk that many promoters and the banks' lending to them failed to understand. With the process of international diversification sales should slowly start to increase." Swedish demand increased by 102 per cent, while Norwegian interest in Spain rose by 58 per cent. In the hope of retaining and gaining more British investors, the Spanish government has introduced more information in English so that buyers are accurately informed on legal issues. House builder Taylor Wimpey de Espana noted that so far this year, it has received an overall customer satisfaction rate of 86 per cent. James Dearsley, European sales director for Atlas International, recently commented that now is the perfect time to invest in an overseas property.

Candelaria pilgrimage THE Association of Civil Protection Volunteers of Santa Cruz de Tenerife set up a field hospital to cater for those taken ill during the Candelaria pilgrimage earlier this week. It was located in the area of La Cuesta de Las Tablas in the municipality of Candelaria. Most of the injuries were minor, focused on strains, sprains and abrasions. The health care was coordinated by a doctor and a nurse, with the support of an ambulance crew together with an entire group of volunteers. Another service that the volunteers carried out was to locate and rescue a party of four people who were lost on the slopes of Igueste de Candelaria. For two consecutive days about 60 volunteers worked to ensure the security and integrity of thousands of pilgrims, mainly in the motorway section of the TF-28 near Caletillas. The volunteers were supported by Local Police and Guardia Civil. However, he also joined efforts supported road safety Candelaria Local Police and Guardia Civil. Finally the volunteers assisted in helping the thousands of people gathered in the vicinity of the Basilica of Candelaria, incidents here were minor and many were fainting related due to the extreme hit.

Driver escapes fine - by an ear DRIVING a vehicle while listening to music with a headphone in one ear has been deemed perfectly legal by a Madrid judge. The judge, sitting in the Contentious-Administrative Court quashed the 150euro fine imposed on José Miguel Ayllón Camacho by the Tráfico Guardia Civil in February 2010. He was driving along the A-6 Madrid to A Coruña road when the Guardia pulled him over and said it was a “falta grave” (gross negligence or serious mis-

take) listening to music with a headphone connected to the radio. However the judge felt that the driver had not contravened the relative article of traffic legislation, which says the use of headphones or other objects which “diminish the required permanent attention needed for driving”, is a serious infraction. The judge considered wearing just one headphone wasn’t necessarily a distraction and, according to the legislation, the radio itself could be regarded as a distraction,

even though they are installed in cars as standard. He said reasonable interpretation of the law meant that both headphones needed to be worn for the offence to be valid. The State Attorney, who was in court, called on the judge to leave the fine in place. But the judge appreciated that the driver had asked the Guardia to note on the fine that only one headphone had been used. Happily for the driver, the judge’s decision cannot be appealed against as the fine involved is less than 18,000 euros.

Tenerife tourists getting younger Tourists who visited Tenerife in the first half of the year are younger than those who came in 2010, as evidenced by data from the Inbound Tourism Survey, Tenerife Tourism research. The average age of tourists for the first half of this year was 46 years compared with 48 years the previous year. However, there is a marked increase in the segment under 26 years (+27.6%). The increase in the younger market also correlates with the increase in family tourism in the island, accounting for 18.6 percent of all tourists. Hence there has been an

increase in the presence of children under the age of 15 that make up the tour group, reaching 16.1 percent and an increase of 20.6 percent over the same period last year. Visitors to Tenerife during the first half of the year have also become more active. With 53.2 percent do some activity during their stay in Tenerife. The preferred activities are visits to theme parks, whale watching, health-related activities and to museums, exhibitions or attending concerts. Island excursions have also increased, with 55 percent of visitors walking on the island. Among the highlights are favourite excursions such as Mount Teide, Santa Cruz, Puerto de la Cruz and charming places such as Garachico and

La Laguna. El Barranco de Masca, Teno / Buenavista and Anaga / Taganana are other places that tourists prefer. 33.4 percent of visitors used a rental car for these trips, a figure that increases by 1.5 percent over the same period last year. Organised excursions have also increased which are demanded by 17.8 percent of the visitors.

So what’s keeping us firmly on the ground? SPAIN continues to have the most flight delays in Europe, and the latest figures from Eurocontrol show that 36% of the hold-ups, through a lack of capacity, are at Spanish airports. Barcelona’s El Prat was the worst for last month’s delays, with Madrid Barajas in fifth place. Yet improvements at both airports over the past year has led to a drop in delayed flights - Madrid by 10% and Barcelona 38% against last year’s figures.

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

Delays in the Canaries are 50% higher than a year ago, because of increased traffic and bad weather. More than half the flight delays are blamed on the airlines themselves, but those caused by air traffic control are generally down to the system’s lack of capacity to hold the volume of planes en-route. Spanish Airport Authority AENA say changes to the air traffic controllers’ rotas in June led to the recent improvement, although some controllers rejected them at the time.

News in Brief Jobless scheme ends AT least 10,000 jobless people in the Canaries are without financial support following the end of the Spanish Government’s emergency scheme “Plan Prepara”. But the scheme may be relaunched at a meeting of

the Council of Ministers today (Friday). It was introduced six months ago to help those who had run out of contributory benefits, giving them another half-year of monthly 400-euro payments. It also allowed them to take part in free training programmes.

Canarian gambling fever! PEOPLE in the Canary Islands gambled away 883 million euros last year, excluding lotteries. a quarter of that figure was spent in bingo halls and a further 135 million in casinos. Although gambling figures are down 13% on 2010, Tenerife alone accounts for nearly half the overall amount.

The all-inclusive offers MORE than 50% of tourists visiting Tenerife come on a half-board basis, according to Europa Press figures this week. Last year, only one in five opted

for an all-inclusive option, but 78% of them had no intention of repeating the experience. Yet 35% of hotels on the Island now offer all-inclusive options.

Price of fuel still falling PETROL prices here dropped last month, saving around two euros on a full tank. The average cost of a litre fell to 0.965 euros, and the forecast is that the demand for fuel will continue to decrease in the coming months, bringing further reductions.

Holiday cruises down THE Canary Islands are second to Barcelona regarding cruise passenger numbers, according to the Spanish Ports Authority, yet the num-

ber of ships visiting Spain has dropped. These figures are “blamed” on the new super liners, which cater for bumper passenger lists.

Will 34 degrees be enough? CANARIES’ weathermen believe temperatures will hit 40C on some islands over the weekend. But Tenerife, already sweltering, won’t be that hot, although the mercury could rise to 34C in some places.

Arico safe and sound EXPLOSIVE specialists who deactivated a land mine discovered on the Arico coast on Monday have assured local

authorities that the area is now safe. But they may continue to cordon off nearby zones for investigation.

Schools feel the pinch MORE than 400 primary teaching posts are set to be cut in the coming school year, which affects a quarter of Tenerife schools. It means they will have to increase class sizes, with a possible Uturn on the practice of merging pupils from two different years in a single class.

Worten open in Tenerife WORTEN the multinational chain store famous for its electric appliances and electronics have opened their doors in Las Chafiras (opposite McDonalds)

As an opening offer they were offering customers the opportunity to buy an item for €50 with a €5 note with their campaign “El cambio que vale más” (change with more value). The offer was for anything in the shop for the first 100 customers that passed through their new doors in Avenida Claudio Delgado Diaz nº 13, not far from the petrol station. Worten came to Spain back in 2009 with the aim of opening nine shops and now employ 1,374 workers on the mainland and 81 in the Ca-

nary Islands, with a total of 34 shops. Worten are the leaders in the distribution of electrical goods, electronics and their entertainment section in the Portuguese market having started there in 1996.

Their success has been based on having the lowest prices in the market, with an excellent after sales service which is second to none. Here in the south of Tenerife they have devoted around 1.500 m2 to give

customers ample space to do their shopping. Worten is part of the Grupo Sonae, a major business in Portugal with sectors in Tourism, telecommunications, industry and finance.

Never too old to meet the Pope!

Hearts of Tejina The Hearts of Tejina procession will enter the church square of Tejina on Sunday 28th August at noon and then will make an offering to the Virgen de la Encarnación it has been announced. The annual festive tradition of Tejina, takes place in the metropolitan area of Tenerife. In the town of Tejina, in the district of La Laguna, one of the most original festivals takes place each year. It is known as the "Corazones de

Tejina" (the hearts of Tejina) in honour of Saint Bartholomew. Its strange name comes from the custom of making three large, two-metre high hearts from beech tree sticks and decorating them with flowers and fruit. In the town there is a healthy rivalry between the residents of the "Calle de Arriba" (Upper Street), the Calle de Abajo (Lower Street) and El Pico (the Peak) these three neighbourhoods of the town compete to see who can make the most beautiful heart. Aside from the hearts, there are many other unique, traditional events, such as the burning of the "haragán," a

type of rag doll, which brings the fiesta to an end. Sunday 28th August will be the main day of the Feast of St. Bartholomew with the entry of the ‘Hearts’ to the front of the church and later offering to the patron saint around 12 noon. At 21.30 hours there will be the XXV Festival of the Hearts in the Church Square. On Monday 29th August, at 19.00 the fruit from the decorations are thrown into the crowd that cram the whole square. Finally, on Tuesday 30th August, at noon, further celebrations in the square take place. Definitely a fiesta not to be missed.

SOR TERESITA, a Spanish nun who will be 104 next month, leaves her convent today (Friday) for only the second time in 84 years - to meet the Pope in Madrid. Incredibly, her last trip to the outside world came during the Spanish Civil War in the Twenties, and Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the capital city to take part in the World Youth Day celebrations has drawn her out again! By coincidence, Sister Teresita entered the Convento de Beunafuente del Sistal in Guadalajara on 16th April 1927, which was the day the Pope was born. To the delight of officials

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

in Madrid, Pope Benedict included the city in his travel plans for this year, and landed at noon yesterday (Thursday), to be greeted by thousands of youngsters, who lined the streets to greet him in his Popemobile. Last night saw a scheduled welcoming ceremony in the Independence Plaza, and the Pope will today meet young religious sisters at the monastery of El Escorial. He will then address more than 1,000 college professors to discuss the role they play in educating the youth. And, tonight, he will conduct the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross), featuring all the 14 stations, brought in from various parts of Spain. Tomorrow morning (Saturday), the pontiff will hold a

special Mass in Madrid Cathedral for young men who are considering becoming priests. In the afternoon, he will visit a centre for the sick, which is run by the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God. The main event takes place at Cuatro Vientos Aerodrome in the evening, when there will be a Eucharistic adoration and a vigil with the young people, to celebrate World Youth Day. Finally, on Sunday, the Pope will hold a final Mass with thousands of bishops and priests, and he will also announce the venue for next year’s World Youth Day. The Papal visit ends with him meeting volunteers and thanking them for all their hard work, before his final farewell at Madrid airport en route to Rome.

2011 Cho Oyu Expedition Felix Molowny from here in Tenerife aims to climb the sixth highest mountain in the world. The Tenerife athlete starts on September 1st, the Cho Oyu Expedition 2011.

His expedition was announced at a press conference in the presence of Minister of Sports, Jesus Perez. Perez stated that "it is a major challenge, even though he has done several mountain climbs to five or six thousand meters, Cho Oyu is one of the world's highest peaks. We're talking about a sport that requires much preparation, both physically and mentally, and we all hope that he can achieve this goal and take the name of Tenerife to the top." Meanwhile, Molowny explained that "the journey begins on September 1st and the forecast is to reach the summit on September 30th or October 1st, although it depends on the weather. The expedition is made up of three other climbers from the mainland and we are all looking forward to this challenge. In my case, it is my first eight-thousand climb and I think it is a good opportunity to complete this dream," A fireman by profession he has experience in such activities and has climbed Kilimanjaro (5,985 meters) in Tanzania- Kenya, Mount Aconcagua (6,962 meters) in Chile, and Mustagh Ata (7,500 meters) in China. Cho Oyu, is 8,201 meters and located in Nepal. For this expedition, Molowny is supported by the Tenerife Cabildo, the Tenerife Fire Consortium, the City of Adeje and businesses Intersport, U.S. Customs Juan

de la Rosa, EducaRG, Monaco-La Laguna and H10 Hotels. Cho Oyu The Himalaya mountain range is situated in Asia, and extends into the countries of Bhutan, China, Nepal, Tibet, India and Pakistan in an arc from west to east and 2,600 kilometers from north to south 350 km. Its name comes from Sanskrit means valley of snow. It is the highest mountain range on earth, with fourteen peaks over 8,000 meters high, one being Everest with 8,848 meters, the highest mountain on earth. Cho Oyu (or Cho Oyo or Mt Zhuoaoyou) is 8,201m, the sixth highest mountain in the world. Cho Oyu is located in the Himalayas, 20 km west of Mount Everest and Lhotse

and close to Makalu and Shishapangma, on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan. A few miles west of Cho Oyu is Nangpa La (5716 m.). He leaves for Madrid on September 1 and day 2 to Doha, where they fly to Kathmandu. After preparations in Kathmandu, the expedition will depart by land, to Tibet. The first night sleeping in Zangmu (2,300 m.) at the border, the next two in Nyalam (3750) and in Tibet, and the other two in Tingri (4342 m). They will gradually acclimatise by the time they have reached the base camp (4,700 m.). The first days are usually hard and must

be given utmost importance not to press too hard their bodies and be patient. The expedition will spend 4 nights at this altitude trying to make small climbs to reach the Advanced Base Camp (5,400 m.). The landscape at this stage is rocky and bare. From (6,400 m) they start climbing with crampons and will have to surmount snow and ice, whilst trying to get further up plus setting up camps and eating. Once they have achieved their goal the descent to base camp begins which is as hazardous as the ascent, many accidents happen at this stage of a climb. But hopefully Molowny will be successful.

Las Galletas Fiesta This weekend sees the Las Galletas Fiesta in the municipality of Arona. The events planned celebrate the festivities in honor of St. Cassian. The festival programme was developed by a local committee in conjunction with local authorities. Friday 9th at 17:00 there is a soccer tournament, then the celebration of the Eucharist at 19:00, later a concert "A Song for Arona" from 20:00 hours and then finally the crowds

NY gig`s mobile-only tickets A concert in New York claims to have scored a first by providing every single ticket for the event as a text message to music fans' mobile phones.

Instead of having their paper tickets checked at the venue, concert-goers simply produced their phones which were then scanned at the door of the Billboard Summer Blowout Party. ShowClix, the company behind the service, said the new MMS ticketing system is the first of its kind to be used in the US and is hoping it will revolutionise the way ticketing works. Founder Joshua Dziabiak said: "It's the ability to have your event tickets delivered to your mobile device without having to print anything out. It's a lot easier for patrons to remember their tickets." Whether it's Twitter or YouTube on your phone, that's what the exciting thing about this whole movement is, we are so close to the fans. It's just really rewarding that way... this definitely is the future.

Woman dead and man hurt after wasp attack A woman has died and a man has been injured after they were attacked by a swarm of wasps.

Mobile ticketing has been available for concerts since 2008, but it is thought this is the first time the tickets have been only available as text messages. ShowClix believes the system will prove attractive to brands looking to be more eco-friendly. The Billboard Summer Blowout party featured dance duo LMFAO and rapper/producer Swizz Beatz. LMFAO's Redfoo said he is "all for" the new ticketing technology. "My cell phone is my favourite device that I have, so the fact that people are using this MMS

technology to let people know where the concert is the day before is fun," he explained. The Party Rock Anthem singer went on: "Whether it's Twitter or YouTube on your phone, that's what the exciting thing about this whole movement is, we are so close to the fans. "It's just really rewarding that way... this definitely is the future." As more venues seek to provide alternatives to traditional printed tickets, critics have warned that tickets sold only via mobile phones could exclude those who do not own one. But the editor-in-chief of

concert industry publication Pollstar, said most people have mobiles and they are "just an extension of their hand". Gary Bongiovanni added that the system also allows the seller to have more information about fans. "There's a lot potential uses for the technology once you've identified who the people are who are in the audience," he said. "A few years ago artists would play to a full arena and not have a clue who any of those people were, and today [they have] much more information."

The woman, who was in her 70s and named locally as Janette Duncan, suffered a heart attack following the incident and was taken to hospital, where she later lost her life. The unnamed man, who was also treated at the same hospital, suffered minor wasp stings in Galleywood, near Chelmsford, Essex. The attack happened as the pair went for a drink in the Galleywood Social Club around lunchtime on Sunday. It is understood a passer-by accidentally disturbed the hedge that the wasps nest was in. Local residents said the pensioner's family were distraught and in shock. They have been asked to be left alone while they come to terms with their loss. One woman said: "I didn't see the attack itself but I heard it was a large swarm.

"At first they seemed OK but then we suddenly realised she was getting worse and a neighbour called the ambulance. "It's come as a bolt from the blue and we all feel for the family." An ambulance spokeswoman said: "It appears that the cardiac arrest was caused by the attack. "We took her to Broomfield Hospital by land ambulance with air ambulance medics escorting. "The man, whose age is not available, was also taken to Broomfield Hospital by land ambulance, suffering minor wasp stings." A spokesman for Essex Police said: "We can confirm that at 1.15pm on Sunday we received a report that a man and woman had been stung by wasps and the woman had collapsed. "She was taken to hospital but sadly died. The matter is now in the hands of the Essex Coroner and it is expected that an inquest will be held into the woman's death."

Fans greet Inbetweeners stars on the red carpet

www.canarianweekly.com

The stars of Bafta award-winning sitcom The Inbetweeners have been greeted by hundreds of fans at the premiere of their new film. Some people had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of the actors in London's Leicester Square, where the popular show made its big screen debut. The big screen adaptation of the hit TV show, set in south London, sees the four pals head off to Crete for their first lads' holiday after finishing their A-Levels at the fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive. Simon Bird, who plays geeky Will Mckenzie, told Sky News they had been worried about making the big screen adaptation. Kevin And Perry, Mr Bean and Ali G are among the comedy brands that have made the leap from TV to film, only to be panned by the critics. Bird said: "Usually it doesn't work and we were aware of that and very nervous about it. But we wouldn't have done unless we were convinced we were going to do it right." The friends say that, like their characters, they have their ups and downs. "We have our little tiffs here and there. It's mainly between Joe (Thomas) and James. They are the married couple. Me and Blake - we're pretty solid," Bird said. The first series of The Inbetweeners aired on E4 in May 2008 and then transferred to Channel 4 the following year.

Lucky trucker left hanging in car park crash The third and final series hit screens last year and there are plans for a US remake. James Buckley, who plays Jay Cartwright in the show, also criticised those who took part in last week's riots. "It's a small minority of people ruining it for everyone else," he said. "I don't think these people represent British youth. These are just kids who are up to no good." Co-star Blake Harrison, who plays Neil Sutherland, said: "I grew up on a coun-

cil estate in Peckham where there's a lot of trouble. "But me and my younger brother grew up similarly to a lot of the people who took part in some of these riots and we would never dream of taking part in something like that. "I do believe it's not necessarily down to any particular cause. The whole Duggan situation has been completely left behind and it was a lot of opportunism unfortunately and it was people out to get free stuff."

A lorry driver had a lucky escape after the truck he was driving crashed through the walls of a New York car park.

The truck was left dangling in the air several storeys above street level. The driver, Robert Legall, lost control of the 16-ton

vehicle in the Queens district of the city. Emergency workers tried to pull it back into the car park while firefighters attempted to free the trapped and injured driver. He was eventually pulled to safety by the driver of a cherry picker who broke the side window of the lorry to allow him to be freed.

18 hour cable car rescue

Emergency helicopters have rescued 20 people who were trapped in a cable car in southern Germany for over 18 hours. The passengers were stuck overnight after a paraglider tandem flight crashed into its cable on Friday and strong winds hindered the rescue. The 19 tourists and one cable car operator were hang-

ing 100m (330ft) above the ground on the Tegelberg mountain. A mountain rescue specialist was lowered into the gondola to provide food and clothing to the trapped people who ranged in age from four to 75. He then stayed with them while they waited for more help. The first to be airlifted from the gondola were two men, then four children and then everyone else. The entire rescue operation took about two hours, and

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

more than 200 emergency personnel were on site, Bavaria's mountain rescue service said. The 1,880m (6,170ft) Tegelberg is within sight of one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions, Neuschwanstein Castle, which is often viewed as the inspiration for one of Walt Disney's fairy tale castles. The two paragliders, a 54-year-old pilot and a 35-yearold passenger, were also rescued by helicopter and suffered only minor injuries. Police have opened an investigation.

NZ sees its heaviest snowfall in decades Parts of New Zealand are seeing their first snowfall in 80 years as a "once in a lifetime" polar blast spreads across the country. The capital city of Wellington ground to a halt as services across the country were disrupted by the heavy snow. Mail deliveries were cancelled along with many flights in the region. Main roads have also been closed. People took to the streets to play and take photos of the winter wonderland as for many it was the first

time they had seen snow in the area. Wellington, which rarely gets snow, is witnessing its highest levels since the 70s. Further north, Auckland is experiencing its first snowfall for 80 years.

Forecasters have described the massive change in weather as a "once in many decades event". The cold snap is predicted to last several days but for now most people seem to be enjoying their time in the snow.

Funerals for the riot hit and run victims

Funerals will be held later for the three men killed in a hit and run while they patrolled their streets to prevent looting by rioters.

Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir died on August 10 after being struck by a vehicle in the Winson Green area of Birmingham.

Page 14

The men had taken to the streets to protect shops in their area after riots and looting, the previous evening. West Midlands police arrested more than 500 people after violence and attacks on shops in the city. Four men have now been charged over their murders. Adam King, 23, Joshua Donald, 26, and a 17-year old man who cannot be named for legal reasons have been remanded in custody.

A 30-year-old man, who has not been named, has also been remanded in custody after being charged with their murders last night. Haroon's father, Tariq, appealed for calm in the wake of their deaths and appealed for rioters to stay at home: "Today we stand here to plead with all the youth to remain calm (and) for our communities to stand united. This is not a race issue. "Blacks, Asians, whites - we all live in the same community. Why do we have to kill each other? "I lost my son. Step forward if you want to lose your sons. Otherwise, calm down and go home." Mr Jahan has been praised for his bravery and role in keeping the area calm following the riots. The victims' families also addressed a remembrance event at a peace rally in the city, organised as a response to the rioting and the deaths. On a visit to Birmingham following the riots David Cameron described their deaths as a "truly dreadful incident."

Paralympic champion injured in hit-and-run A gold medal-winning Paralympian is in a critical condition after being injured in a hit-andrun incident. Cyclist Simon Richardson was riding his bike near Bridgend when it is thought he was struck by a van. The 44-year-old was taken by air ambulance to hospital, where his wife said he was in a "critical but stable condition". A 59-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and police are appealing for witnesses.

Inspector Tony McAlinden said: "He was apparently struck by a small white van travelling in the same direction. "The van did not stop and continued east along the A48 in the general direction of Cowbridge. "Police would like to speak to any person who witnessed the collision, or may have been travelling between Cowbridge and Bridgend on the A48 and saw a white small van leaving the area." Richardson won two gold and a silver medal at the Beijing games in 2008 and

was awarded the MBE in 2009. He used his bike to help recover from severe injuries he sustained in a cycling accident in 2001. Ten years ago Richardson was struck by a vehicle travelling at 60mph, which shattered his leg and broke his back in two places, causing him to lose all feeling in his left-hand side. The Paralympic champion used a specially adapted bike powered by his right leg to help his rehabilitation and then to compete.

RBS restricts 1 million customers' ATM access The consumer watchdog has asked Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to reconsider barring almost a million of its customers from rivals' cash machines.

The move affects the partnationalised bank's basic account holders who pay no fees, are already unable to hold a chequebook or have an overdraft. It is understood many take out such accounts as they can not secure better services because of financial problems in the past. RBS blames its decision on the inability to recover the costs involved when basic account customers withdraw money from its rivals' ATMs. A spokesman for RBS said: "We are fully committed to offering a free basic account for people who may otherwise struggle to access banking services. "Our basic account holders

will still enjoy free access to one of the largest ATM networks - over 8,000 - in the UK, through RBS, Natwest, Tesco. "They also can make withdrawals at any Post Office counter." This is a kick in the teeth for many of RBS's most vulnerable customers. But the move, which follows a similar one by rival Lloyds, has prompted concern on the ease of access to funds. Marie Burton, financial inclusion expert at Consumer Focus, said: "This is a kick in the teeth for many of RBS's most

vulnerable customers. "We would call on RBS to reconsider this, which will exclude its basic bank account holders from using the majority of the UK's free cash machine network." She argued that such a decision harmed wider efforts to lure the one million people in the UK without a bank account, into the financial system. "People living in rural areas deserted by bank branch closures may not have the option of other ATMs nearby," Ms Burton said.

The Bill's Reg is all set for Hollywood success Few British actors leave a long-running soap and go on to crack America but it looks as if a former star of The Bill is set to do just that after winning an award. Jeff Stewart played Reg Hollis in the ITV police series for 24 years until his character was axed in 2008. Last month he picked up the best actor award at the Manhattan Film Festival for low budget movie Under Jakob's Ladder which also won best film. Now firmly in Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sights, Stewart has been signed up for five other movie projects. Stewart, 55, plays the lead role in the independent film about a German living in 40s Soviet Russia. His character is arrested and thrown into prison by Stalin's secret police after reciting the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer at a funeral. The true story is directed by the

grandsons of Jakob Steel, Roberto and Mann Munoz. Speaking about winning the award Stewart told The Sun: "When they said, 'the best actor goes to Jeff Stewart', a cold shiver went from the tips of my toes to the top of my head and to the end of my fingers. "I heard the announcement but it was like, 'did he really say that?' "It felt unreal and the others at the table were hugging me... It's been a hell of a journey." Three years ago when Stewart was told his character in The Bill was being killed off, he went into his dressing room and cut his wrists. The news followed a spate of personal problems and came as a complete shock to the actor. But as he began to black out he changed his mind and called for help. Speaking about the incident, he said: "I didn't see a counsellor, it was evident I was OK and I never worried how it would affect my career.

I thought you can either stagnante or blossom." Stewart has certainly blossomed and after leaving the soap decided to undergo a reinvention and distance himself from the clean-shav-

en, squeaky-voiced character. "I didn't cut my hair for three years," he told The Sun. "It was a thought-out deliberate choice. I thought, 'I have to look as different as possible'."

Under Jakob's Ladder is now expected to be picked up by a big film studio after its win at the awards. The Bill was axed in March 2010 with its final episode airing last August.

Wife pays tribute to her husband killed by shark The wife of a British man killed in a horrific shark attack during their honeymoon has paid tribute to her "special husband" and thanked him for "nine years of joy". Gemma Redmond said the loss of her 30-year-old husband Ian had "left a gaping hole in our hearts that will never be filled". Mrs Redmond, 27, was sitting on the beach watching her husband snorkelling just metres away when he was attacked at Anse Lazio beach, on the island of Praslin, Seychelles. The newlyweds, from Lancashire, had married less than two weeks earlier. Witnesses described how first aid was given to him after he was brought to the beach. He had lost one arm and had serious wounds to his legs and chest. Jeanne Vargiolu, 56, the owner of Le Chevalier res-

Page 16

taurant on the beach, said she saw Mrs Redmond saying she "still had hope" for her husband while he lay on the beach with horrific injuries. But police said he had "no chance of surviving" because of the nature of his injuries. Ms Vargiolu said: "I heard an ambulance was coming to the beach and I went around and saw somebody on the floor. "I asked a policeman and he said it was a shark attack." A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are providing consular assistance to the next of kin." In a statement issued through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Mrs Redmond paid tribute to her husband: "I loved him so much and he was a very special husband, a thoughtful son and a devoted brother." She continued: "He worked tirelessly to give us both a wonderful married life and home and I want to thank him for nine years of joy. "We were having so much fun and we were so excited about our future together. He

was always calm and collected, strong and brave, witty and intelligent, handsome and caring, a remarkable individual who will be deeply and sorely missed. "Myself, our families and our friends are devastated and shocked by what has happened." Family members are due to arrive in the Seychelles to be with Mrs Redmond before her husband's body is flown home. The location is regularly voted as one of the best beaches in the world and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently had their honeymoon on the same island chain. But this is the second fatal shark attack this month after a 36-year-old French tourist was killed on August 2. A Seychelles government minister chaired an emergency meeting on Tuesday night to discuss the freak attacks and later released a statement announcing a swimming ban. "With immediate effect, the Seychelles Maritime Safety Administration has issued a

temporary ban on swimming or entering the water in certain bays of the island of Praslin and islands off the coast of Praslin," it said. They are the first fatal attacks around the small Indian Ocean nation for almost 50 years, prompting speculation the deaths were the result of a single shark. Australian research scientist Dr Jonathan Werry told Sky News that environmental conditions can affect shark behaviour. "They have specific drivers, generally physical or biological drivers, that coincide with their movement into a coastal area," he said. "And in many cases when you look at an attack there are other features that have correlated and led to that attack." An employee at the fourstar La Reserve hotel confirmed that Mr Redmond and his wife were staying at the resort and had been due to fly home on Sunday. Authorities launched a hunt for the shark and are caution-

ing beachgoers to only go ankle-deep in water. Director for tourism Alain St Ange told Sky News they are seeking help from South Africa to help find the animal. He added: "As a country we are dependent on tourism, we have never had such an

accident and it's a country we consider very safe in this troubled world." Officials have also reinforced a ban on the dumping of waste from yachts and other boats into coastal waters to prevent sharks being lured to beach areas.

AFTER spending the last two weeks feeding the most beautiful, long-haired Dachshund, I would like to ask anyone considering buying a pet to think not twice but three times before doing so! I really thought my heart would break when I saw this poor animal wandering around Palm Mar, obviously dumped by an uncaring owner who either could not, or would not, pay for the care this dog obviously needed. This lovely-natured, black-and-tan dog wandered mournfully in 30-degree temperatures looking for care and attention. Three times over the two-week period, I called the local police and three rescue homes, but to no avail. I appreciate these people are overwhelmed with abandoned pets, which is yet another reason to think carefully about what it actu-

Page 18

Funky, were brought in from Granadilla, as was the other dog, Doly, who is aged nine and resembles Dr Spock. There are so many dogs of all sorts - small, medium large, young and old, as well as puppies - all waiting and hoping for loving homes. Please visit Accion del Sol if you are looking to adopt a dog. Every one of them is fully injected, passported, micro-chipped, steri-

ally costs to keep an animal for 10-15 years. Animals are similar to us in that they, too, become old and infirm. Eventually, through a friend, I found two wonderful ladies who came to the village and, together, we managed to entice the sick and frightened animal from the dirty undergrowth where it was sheltering. Once the dog was out, we were able to make a closer examination of the massive cancer growth on its underside, which was covered in flies and was weeping. I have never been so saddened. The pretty creature was then wrapped carefully in a blanket and placed in the back of the car of one of my” heroes”. The following morning it was taken to a vet, where it was examined and was found to be less than six years old. The vet also confirmed that the animal was beyond saving as the cancer had spread and

lised or castrated, deflead and wormed. That will give you and your family peace of mind that your new pet is completely up to date legally, and in perfect condition. The refuge is open MondayFriday, from 3-6pm, and is situated at junction 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER, the ecological wind farm at Granadilla’s Industrial Estate.

was now untreatable. The dog is now at peace but, again, I implore anyone to really consider the commitment once you have an animal. I would also like to praise the wonderful ladies who were there for me and the Dachshund, so thank-you Marisa, Temka, Tina and Sheena. Sharon, Palm Mar Sharon adopted the correct procedure for stray dogs by contacting both authorities, but anyone in your Arona area should continue to phone 010 , and will eventually be put through to the Town Hall during the week. On weekends, the call goes through to the police, but the dog-catcher doesn’t work on Sundays. The advice from Accion del Sol dog refuge, which has an agreement with Arona Town Hall, is to take a stray to a vet at the weekend if it appears to be in trouble. If it is micro-chipped, the vet can check on its ownership. If it’s not, the vet can operate if necessary. The owner probably abandoned this poor animal because it was in such a state - and vets’ bills aren’t cheap!

Shy K9 dog who longs to be at Auto-matic choice! AUTO was about four months old when he arrived at K9, just over two years ago, after being found by the TF1 junction at Las Chafiras with a collar and lead attached. It seemed as though he was simply lost but, sadly, no one came looking for him, so he has grown up in the kennels. But whatever happened to him in those first four months with his couldn’t-care-less owner has had an impact. He is extremely shy with new people, especially with men, and he also has a problem with new dogs and is always the first to strike out. During his time at K9, he has been paired with various kennel-mates - and seen them all

go to new homes. Roberta has been his kennel-mate for more than a year now and is also looking for a home. Auto loves to go walking and is very good off the lead, while Roberta loves to run about. But Auto plays for only a little while, and is then content to stay nearby. He is a special dog and will need an extremely loving and caring home, with lots of understanding, so can you help? Yes, he will need lots of patience, but he will grow to love you in time and reward you by being a good companion. It would be best for him to be in a one-dog family although, with time and effort, he will pair with a female. We are hoping that Auto’s story will touch the heart of someone willing to give him a chance. If you can help, please contact K9 on 667 638 468, or email info@k9tenerife.com.

Jellyfish warning for bathers in Los Cristianos JELLYFISH are causing havoc to sun-bathers swimming at Playa de las Vistas, in Los Cristianos.

They are only small, but some two dozen people have received treatment over the past couple of days for stings, which cause a certain amount of discomfort. The yellow flag is flying over the beach,

which does not prevent people from swimming, but there’s a white warning flag underneath with a jellyfish pictured, which does signify a danger warning. This particular jellyfish, known as aguaviva, is said to be harmless, certainly to humans, although the sting leaves a red mark.

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

The influx of jellyfish is said to be down to the warm wind, which is already dropping, along with the fierce temperature, so the risk should soon fade. Bathers are advised not to swim too far out, or dip their heads under water, and if you are stung, the lifeguard station has a cream antidote.

Every Sunday afternoon, at The Beach Bar, Costa del Silencio, there is a bbq and open mike session, which is proving to be a huge success. Profits from the bbq, along with football card proceeds, come to Live Arico. We thank Jenny and all at the Beach Bar for this regular fund-raising event. On Tuesday, 30th August, we will be at the Oasis Pool Bar, Fairway Village, Amarilla Golf, for a hot buffet supper and entertainment. Tickets are limited, and at 8.95 euros are extremely good value. Call Suzy q to reserve yours, or call into the restaurant. On Friday, 9th September, we will be back at Restaurant Maria, Golf del Sur, for an end -of-summer bbq and salad buffet for just 12 euros per person. Entertainment from Nick Page, Tanya Tevaro, Colin Stevens and more. Get your tickets from the restaurant or from Suzy on 629 388 102. Remember, last time we sold out early and had to refuse late-comers. We will be at the Comodoro Hotel in Los Cristianos on Friday, 30th September. Details to follow next week, but it’s looking like Paul Shane from Hi de Hi will be joining us. And on 19th October, we’ll be at the Glass Spider, Apolo Centre Los Cristianos. In late October, there will be three huge fund-raising events in a week, incorporating the Gillian Banks Theatre School. We’ll also be at the Premier Bar, Amarilla Golf, on 8th November.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Soap Stars Special Saturday 20th 9.15pm and Sunday 21st August, 9pm Chris Tarrant hosts a live double dose of the popular game show this weekend. The episodes have a special soap theme, with stars from Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks stepping up to try to win big money for their chosen charities. Plus there is a chance for one lucky viewer at home to bag some cash, as the money won by the stars will

Page 24

be divided 50-50 between the charities and the chosen viewer. There is also a special prize up for grabs - a trip to the Emmerdale set and a stay at a luxury hotel and spa in rural Yorkshire. Saturday's show sees Emmerdale's onscreen mother and-son duo Lucy Pargeter and Danny Miller take their places in the hot seat. Next up are Coronation Street stars William Roache and Michelle Collins. On

Sunday, real-life couple Kym Marsh (aka Corrie barmaid Michelle Connor) and her fiance Jamie Lomas (Hollyoaks bad boy Warren Fox) join forces - but who will prove to be the brains of the duo? Also stepping up to try their luck are Emmerdale double-act Mark Charnock and Dominic Brunt, and Hollyoaks stars Gemma Merna and Jennifer Metcalfe. Will the celebrities manage to reach the million?

11:50pm �� The Football League Show

All Star Family Fortunes Saturday 20th August - 7pm ITV Vernon Kay presents a brand new series of the celebrity game show in which two stars and their families compete to win big money for their chosen charities. Each week, two teams of five

go up against each other as they try to work out how the public have answered a series of questions. With questions

ranging from the peculiar to the hilarious, the celebrities and their relatives must come up with the most popular responses if they are to bag the cash for their good causes. In each round, the team that is fastest on the buzzer gains control of the board and tries to comes up with all the answers. If they reply incorrectly three times, all of their hard work can be undone because their opponents have the chance to steal the board –

and their money. This new series kicks off with a Coronation Street special. Actor Simon Gregson – aka pub landlord Steve McDonald – takes on Sam Aston, who plays market stall entrepreneur Chesney Brown. Simon, Sam and their families are battling it out for up to £30,000 for the charities of their choice, but can they manage to secondguess the public and claim the prize?

Sunday 21st August - 9.00-10.25pm BBC TWO Ed Stoppard and Ian Hart lead an all-star cast in this drama about The Man Who Crossed Hitler.

Bringing a little-known story to life, Ian Hart (Five Daughters) and Ed Stoppard (Upstairs, Downstairs) lead an all-star cast in this revealing one-off drama that tells the true story of a Jewish lawyer who challenged Hitler

– and paid with his life. In the summer of 1931, with Germany on the brink of economic collapse and the city of Berlin turning into a paramilitary war zone, the audacious young prosecutor Hans Litten (Stoppard) chooses to subpoena a star witness to a trial of Nazi thugs. In spite of the risk to his own safety, and against the advice of those who love him, Litten forces rising po-

litical star Adolf Hitler (Hart) to make a rare appearance in the witness stand of Berlin's central criminal court. Litten aimed to expose the true character of Hitler and his politics to the German public and, in a humiliating and hostile cross-examination, Hitler was forced to account for his political beliefs, his apparent contempt for the law and his desire to destroy German democracy.

NOW that the “England Riots” seemed to have calmed down and more and more arrests are being made, it’s time to look at all this with an honest pair of eyes.

We can go through all the politics of this and ask questions like, “Why did it take three days of violence before the Prime Minister decided to cut short his holiday”? Or, “Why did it take the same three days for Ed Milliband to speak out and then show his pathetic concern in the streets, knowing full well it was an ideal situation for Labour to get brownie points”? Those questions will never be answered honestly because, as far as I’m concerned, all politicians are nothing but liars! So what do we do? It’s all very easy. This week, two idiots were sentenced to four years for inciting violence via Facebook. At the peak of the riots, these two went on the social media site and asked for people to meet them in Cheshire to start trouble. Thankfully, nobody took them up on the offer and they were reported to the police.

Page 28

They were dealt with brilliantly, in my opinion, and should have been given more time. Just last week, we all watched in shock as teenagers who were never brave enough to show their face looted everything in sight. People were murdered and everyone was shouting for the full force of the law. When we find out that the two who went on Facebook got four years, what happens? Cries of, “It’s too harsh” are being voiced all over the place. And the loudest voices over the sentence always have to be those of the loons from Human Rights. These people sicken every right-thinking person. They do deal with real issues, granted, but all crooks, and others who took part in the violence and looting, are criminals, Yet they are being treated with respect and, all too often, are receiving a get-outof-jail card because of their so called Human Rights. It makes me sick to the stomach when I see them get off scot-free, or receive a reduced sentence, all because a judge is too scared of the loophole that is used. It does not matter what the crime is - murder, rape, etc. - the Human Rights brigade can think of a way around everything!

If you were walking down the street and a stranger sneezed anywhere near you, did you know that you could sue that person for violating your human rights? It’s being done in Chicago as we speak: an on-going case for over two years now which has cost over five million dollars, all because someone sneezed. And the law of Human Rights means he could win the case! This needs to be stopped now, along with a 4.30pm curfew for anyone under the age of 18 without a job, who should not be allowed out until 9am the next day. Anyone covering his/her face for whatever reason should be stopped and questioned by the police. No more using religion as an excuse. Any under-18 youth wearing a new pair of trainers and holding a smart phone should have them confiscated straight away. And anyone who uses the Human Rights card should be banged up for an extra couple of years. Harsh? Not in the slightest. We live in the real world, and it’s time to get real with stupid people and stupid laws!

Harry's Arctic Heroes

(Ep 1/2)

Tuesday 23 August - 9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE Harry's Arctic Heroes charts the extraordinary attempt by four severely injured Afghan veterans to complete the first unsupported trek by wounded soldiers to the North Pole. Prince Harry joins them for the first leg of their journey. Filmed over a year, their intense training culminates in the expedition, for which the Arctic provides a stunning backdrop to their longer journeys towards physical and psy-

chological recovery. The soldiers – Captain Martin Hewitt (29), Captain Guy Disney (28), Sergeant Steve Young (28) and Private Jaco Van Gass (26) – undertake gruelling training in the UK and Norway. When Prince Harry joins them in Svalbard he comments: "What these boys are doing is truly fantastic, to learn more about them, to hear their stories is very, very special. You don't get to meet people like this very often." The soldiers are determined to succeed, as Capt Guy Disney explains: "I'm missing an ankle and calf and for me it's not holding me back and it won't hold me back."

According to Private Jaco Van Gass, who lost an arm, the trek to the North Pole is to inspire others: "We're doing this for other injured servicemen and women, to show them that something like this is possible." And Prince Harry adds: "Myself and my brother, and a huge majority of the British public, support these guys in everything they do and always will do, hopefully. After doing a very small stint in Afghanistan I like to think that I've got a rough idea of what goes on out there and how they feel." The series is narrated by John Hurt.

Canarian Weekly Choice As the award-winning spy drama Spooks enters its tenth series, producers Kudos Film & Television reveal that after a decade on screen, the show will bow out at the end of its next run on BBC One this autumn. Hailed as a benchmark for British drama, and consistently averaging an audience of over six million, Spooks has

been a firm favourite with BBC One viewers since 2002. The ground-breaking series has remained topical and timely, often staying one step ahead of the news agenda and exploring some of the major security stories of the day. It has been famous for killing off its much-loved characters in their prime, and now the series itself is going to be killed off at the top of its game. Jane Featherstone, Chief Executive, Kudos Film & Television, and the show's executive producer, said: "We have always wanted to end Spooks on a high, but never knew when that time

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

would be. Harry Pearce, played by the wonderful Peter Firth, has always been at the heart of the show and this series focuses on Harry's past, bringing his tumultuous relationship with Ruth to a head. As we near completion of this year's show, I'm sorry to say but it feels this series is a fitting end to a much-loved show. It's very tempting to keep going, and we have had ongoing conversations with our partners at the BBC about it, but the heart of the show has become those two characters and I feel they own it. We've followed the arc of their personal story and I think they've brought us to a natural end, which you will all see

played out later this year. "It's hard to believe that as Spooks enters its tenth series, the world prepares to face the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 atrocities. It feels like now is the time for Spooks to bow out and make way for new spy dramas which reflect the changing world around us. I must add my huge thanks to the truly exceptional writers, actors, producers and crew who have made the show what it has been for the past ten years, and above all my thanks go to all the fans who have supported us over the years. I really hope they love this final surprisepacked outing."

The new series of Doctor Who Coming soon

"The wait is almost over. The second part of the thrilling new series of Doctor Who begins on 27 August 2011. The rules have changed, and the game is deadlier than ever. Out in the universe, where the earthly rules of time and space do not apply, Amy and Rory know only too well that their baby daughter needs them. For Melody Pond is destined to become River Song, mysterious archaeologist and convicted murderer – the woman who killed the best man she ever knew... "The Doctor leads Amy and Rory across centuries and galaxies in a desperate search for baby Melody, but a terrible and inescapable date looms large. At 5.02pm on 22nd April 2011, the Doctor will die. These are his last days, and the quest for Melody his final mission. "The search will result in a crash landing in Thirties Berlin and will bring them face to face with the greatest war criminal of all time. And

Hitler. Old friendships will be tested to their limits as the Doctor suffers the ultimate betrayal and learns a harsh lesson in the cruellest warfare of all. "A distress call from a terrified little boy will break through all barriers of time and space and lead the Doctor to visit the scariest place in the Universe. George's bedroom. George is terrorised by every fear you can possibly imagine. Fears that live in his bedroom cupboard. His parents are desperate – George needs a doctor. But allaying George's fears won't be easy. Because the monsters in George's cupboard are real. "An unscheduled visit to a quarantine facility for victims of an alien plague – a plague that will kill the Doctor in a day – leaves Amy trapped. Alone, Rory must find Amy and bring her back

to the TARDIS before the faceless doctors kill her with kindness. But Rory is about to encounter a very different side to his wife. "In an impossible hotel, the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves checkedin but unable to check out. Walls move, corridors twist, rooms vanish and death lies in wait for every visitor. But the Doctor's time has yet to come. He has one last stop to make on his final journey. His old friend, Craig Owens, desperately needs his help – a new and unfamiliar presence is wreaking havoc in Colchester. And then come the Cybermen. But time catches up with us all and the Doctor can delay no more. "By the shores of Lake Silencio, in Utah, all of time and space hang in the balance. And a NASA astronaut is waiting..."

The ‘feeling’ of colour

I HAVE written about colour before, but, because it is obviously one of the most important aspects of interior design, it is worth another mention! Colour is said to have an immediate and instinctive effect on us physically. And before you think this is another arty statement which has no meaning, there has been a huge amount of research that proves the case. Equally, this research is used in your everyday life more than you might realise, as you can see from the examples below. The colour wheel (all the primary colours and variations thereof) is split into warm and cool colours. The warm side is the reds, oranges and yellows. These colours give the effect of creating more adrenaline, raising your blood pressure and increasing your temperature. The greens and blues are the cool colours, slowing the heartbeat, relaxing the muscles and lowering the temperature. The stronger the tone of the colour, the more intense the effect. Add black or white, and create shades and tints, and you can see that there is an infinite number of possible colours. As far as interior design is concerned, warm colours advance (make a room look smaller, or a wall nearer), and cool colours and pale tones recede to make spaces look bigger. In all cases, the amount of colour used will alter the effect. For example a whole wall, or just a splash of colour will have completely different effects. The meaning and effect of individual colours is as follows: Warm Colours

Page 38

Red: This powerful colour of fire, blood, danger and romance is stimulating and encourages impulsive behaviour. It’s popular for dining rooms because it promotes hunger, and it is also used extensively in Las Vegas casinos because it has been proved to encourage people to gamble more. Because red items draw your attention, it is used in warning signs and, in an interior design sense, it is best used in small amounts as an accent colour rather than in large areas. Yellow: A cheerful happy colour, reminiscent of the sun. Often used in areas for children such as playschools to encourage optimism and energy. Also, it is often used in its toneddown version of cream to provide a great neutral tone. Orange: An intense, warm colour associated with the sun, with earth and fire, it has properties as an anti-depressant and is ideal for social areas such as hallways and meeting rooms. Cool Colours Blue: Associated primarily with water, ice and sky, this colour is calming and restful, as well as refreshing. It inspires trust and confidence and, for this reason, many bankers and lawyers wear blue shirts! Inside your house, it is ideal for the bedrooms, lounges and bathrooms. Green: The pervasive colour of nature, peace, reliability and steadiness. For this rea-

son, green is often the choice of hospitals and, of course, the famous green room on TV where guests wait for their appearance. Violet: Purple is a rich colour, much favoured by royalty (and teenage girls) because it is a rich tone, tending away from the cool blues towards the warmer reds. Violet and lilac are toned-down versions of this and are, therefore, very versatile in the decoration situation. Here in Tenerife, our perspective of colour is very different from the UK. For a start, you might hesitate to use blue to any extent in a cold climate, but here it can be used in all its vibrant tones to emulate the sea, the sky and even swimming pools. Oranges and reds are frequently used in the UK to warm up certain areas. But in Tenerife, add hints of brown, and you get the tones of terracotta, which is very prevalent here in buildings, plant-pots, etc. Colour is such a huge subject that this article can only touch upon it and its variations and uses. In a future column, I will look at the use of white, black and neutrals in the home. I will discuss how these can be your best friends in creating a harmonious environment which is economical to change and adapt, while still incorporating your favourite colours from the list above.

Sky’s the limit for Eve’s wondrous Eiffel Flower IT’S not quite the beanstalk Jack may have sought out to climb, but this monster sunflower is heading onwards and upwards at an astonishing rate. It was sown by Eve Fielding in the back garden of her Margate home in Kent, and she expected maybe a regular 12ft plant. But the tiny seed she planted has grown into a 23ft specimen. It has been labelled the Eiffel Flower and is heading rapidly for the Guinness World Records book, featuring a plant sown in Germany which grew to 26ft 4ins two years ago. The 48-year-old grandmother, who is still rubbing

her eyes in wonderment, said: “It’s enormous, and I really can’t believe it has grown this tall. ”I planted a few seeds with my granddaughter so we could have a race to grow the biggest flower. This was one of the leftover ones, so I thought I might as well sow it and see what happened. “I watered it every day, but I didn’t put anything special in the soil or anything daft. But it just carried on growing and it’s by far the biggest sunflower I’ve ever had.” She added: “My neighbours and visitors have all been quite surprised and shocked at the size - they think it’s a beast. “I’ve heard of people talking to their plants to make them grow. I’ve never done

that, but I have started telling it how well it is doing since it got really big.” *By coincidence, 27-year-old Igor Vovkovinskiy, originally from the Ukraine, stands 7ft 8.33ins tall and has been recognised officially by Guinness World Records as the tallest man in the United States.

Over-50s may be forced to sell up, simply to survive IT’S the biggest worry for older folk approaching retirement age, but millions believe they may have to sell their homes to counter the rising cost of living. Faced with the rapid escalation of domestic bills, petrol and, shockingly, food, 20% of those people questioned in a Saga survey said they might have to downsize just to keep

their heads above water. Many of them also say they are paying out more and more to help their hard-up children and grandchildren, who are finding life a struggle. Dr Ros Altmann, director-general of Saga, which specialises in providing services for the over-50s, is a familiar TV figure these days, discussing how older folk can get by in these austere times. “People are being forced to do things that

they would have never considered doing before,” she said. “And the over-50s are feeling the pinch. “They are sacrificing their own happiness and comfort in order to help their own children and grandchildren.” The help they offer the kids ranges from paying university fees to contributing towards a family holiday, even if it means not having one themselves. The Saga report, conducted every three months, was also alarmed about the pressure on a particular group of people they have focused on purposely this time. They are the over-50s, who are fast becoming the ‘lost generation’ because cannot find work but need the money simply to scratch out a living. The report, one of the biggest polls commissioned since the credit crunch, canvassed 11,650 people over the age of 50 about their financial situation and lifestyle. And apart from their worries about paying domestic energy bills, which seem to be rising all the time, and putting bread on the table, nearly 70% said they were cutting back on “non-essential spending”, such as dining out, cinema trips and buying clothes. In the same vein, a campaign group have pleaded that savers hit by the worst interest rates in history should be given a tax break. The tax on the interest they receive should be scrapped temporarily, according to a letter sent by Save our Savers to the Chancellor. Co-founder Jason Riddle called it a “scandal” that savers were still being taxed, even though interest rates had plummeted to an all-time low.

New scorching Chilli A new British bredchilli pepper could be a contender for the title of hottest chilli in the world, after initial testing put it at over 700,000 on the Scoville scale measuring levels of capsaicin, the chemical which makes chillies 'hot'. The new chilli called 'Bengle Naga' is the result of years of careful selection from an Indian strain of the Bhut Jolokia chilli by Joy Michaud of Dorset-based chilli specialists Sea Spring Seeds. It produces abundant crops of lime-green, wrinkled fruits maturing to deep red. Its first Scoville testing last year produced a rating of 732,000 SHU and trials are now under way to test the chilli's score when grown in varying conditions. The Scoville scale is a measurement of the spicy heat (or piquance) of a chili pep-

per. The number of Scoville heat units (SHU) indicates the amount of capsaicin present. Capsaicin is a chemical compound that stimulates chemoreceptor nerve endings in the skin, especially the mucous membranes. The scale is named after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville. His method, devised in 1912, is known as the Scoville Organoleptic Test. The modern commonplace method for quantitative analysis uses high-performance liquid chromatography, making it possible to directly measure capsaicinoid content. Joy Michaud of Dorsetbased chilli specialists Sea Spring Seeds said, 'We've got to keep testing it for a few more years yet, but it's definitely one of the superhots,' said Joy. Joy is the breeder of 'Dorset Naga', a previous holder of the world record, which also scored 700,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in early tests, later going on to hit over 1 million SHU. The cur-

rent record holder is the Trinidad Scorpion type 'Butch T', bred in Australia, which has

been rated at over 1.4 million SHU. More information www. seaspringseeds.co.uk

Autumn/Spring bulbs Any summer to-do list for gardeners will have on it to get and order your Autumn and Spring bulbs. Living here in Tenerife it’s very difficult to know where to get them from.

Mid-summer gardening... Your garden or patio, or containers should be at their best now. The weather is very hot here in Tenerife, as if you needed telling! So it’s best to do your garden jobs early in the morning and when the sun has gone down at night.

There’s plenty to do, to keep you fit and active. If you have a rock garden this will look better tidied up and cut back. Continue to prune shrubs back if they become unruly, and if you like you can take cuttings now and into the next few weeks. If you have been growing fruit and veggies then continue harvesting, please don’t forget to water. The beauty of here is that you can continue sowing to extend the growing season.

Flower power – things to do

There is a Garden Centre in the UK from which you can order on-line and they then airmail the bulbs to you. They have warned me that the postage is high, but, it boils down to how badly you want them.

• Prune shrubs that have finished flowering • If you have hedges trim them back so as to tidy them • Dead head flowers, bedding plants • Now is the time to plant Autumn flowering bulbs, such as ‘Madonna Lilies’ • If you cut back early flowering border plants it will encourage them to flourish again • All these tasks apply to container plants as well • Check plants for signs of disease • Order spring bulbs from mail order catalogues

Further information is available from... www.broadleighbulbs.co.uk

Next week, fruit and vegetables.

carl pattison from Robot, answers your hair questions

Leave it au naturale… IF you’re blessed or distressed that you’ve got curls, then read on. Many of you ladies don’t seem to get on with your natural waves and try as hard as you can to get rid of them. From blowing them out to ironing them out, even relaxing them with harsh chemicals - anything to get rid of them. But actually, it’s time you loved your curls. I’m not saying you mustn’t ever use the irons, or blow-dry them out. But with some guidance, I’m sure that anyone with curly hair can learn to control it. First of all, nearly all curls need moisture, which starts with your shampoo. This must include “moisturising” and/or “nourishing” on the label. I’m not a great believer in “curl” shampoo products, because as long as you are replacing the lost moisture, then you are doing your hair good. Next, it’s conditioning. The best way is to use a “light” con-

ditioner to avoid “weighing” down the curls. This should be applied with your fingers, or a wide-toothed comb, every time you wash it. Once a week, apply a deep, penetrating masque and leave on your hair while you shower. This will repair those locks and keep your curls bouncy. Last, but by no means least, your styling products. You will need a good serum and a firmhold mousse to keep those curls in place. Apply the serum to soakingwet hair and then later, when the hair is slightly drier, apply an orange-sized amount of mousse. Remember, you must apply all these products with your hands only. And NEVER use any type of comb on curls because this separates the curl form and can look frizzy and dry. The best way to style is to let the hair dry naturally, which is easy to do here in Tenerife. Scrunch up the hair as it dries, or, if you’re in a rush, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer on a very slow setting. If you are not careful, drying this type of hair results only in a

tangle and/or frizzy, dry-looking curls. When trying to get rid of tangles, never use combs or plastic brushes as this will stretch and snap the hair shaft. Use your fingers to release the tangles, and then a paddle brush to separate the hair gently. Your hair should be cut regularly, say every 6-8 weeks, to keep at bay those inevitable split ends, while colours should be gentle and not too light. Curls tend to look healthier when darker, but this is not to say you can’t be curly and blonde. Just go easy on the lighter tones. So, summing up, treat your curls with respect, give thanks that you have more styling options than those with straight hair … and just enjoy having them!

Put your hair on diet of buns! FASHION forecast for autumn winter this year is BUNS! I’m not talking sticky ones but ballerina-esque type buns. But they must be more dishevelled and loose. They look great in the day for work, and can be dressed up for night time with hair accessories. If you haven’t got enough hair, check out the “ready-made” artificial hair ones. Just scrape back your own hair and clip in a bun. It’s soooo easy, and looks soooo sophisticated. Try it!

Caffeine may be answer to those sun-tan horrors FORGET the X-Factor in sun cream because a new screen based on caffeine could help give you a better tan, with safely in mind. American scientists say that sun cream made from coffee, chocolate or tea may offer protection against the most common form of skin cancer, while producing a bronzed glow. And it may also keep wrinkles at bay. The boffins, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, have shown that caffeine triggers the death of UV-damaged cells, while leaving healthy ones unharmed. To test their findings that caffeine provides protec-

tion by interfering with a skin protein called ATR, they genetically-engineered mice so that they made much less ATR than usual. The animals, together with normal mice, were then put under UV lamps, and those low in ATR took longer to develop skin cancers. After 19 weeks, the latter had 70% fewer tumours, and the cancers they did develop were far less likely to have penetrated the skin, allowing them to use the bloodstream to spread through the body. The researchers say that cells need ATR to repair damage and, if there isn’t enough of it, they selfdestruct and thus, nip any cancer in the bud. Their findings explain previous studies which credited

drinking caffeinated - but not decaffeinated - tea and coffee with warding off nonmelanoma skin cancer. But they warn that people shouldn’t start consuming vast amounts of tea or coffee just to allow them to lie out in the sun. Yet they are all for creating caffeinebased sun cream. Professor Dot Bennett, of St George’s, University of London, said: “Caffeine lotion might promote tanning a little, since this family of molecules stimulates pigment cells to make more pigment.” However, she stressed that it is still unclear what effect, if any, such a sunscreen would have against the moredeadly, malignant melanoma form of skin cancer.

Mosquitoes According to a recent article from the BBC World Service, mosquitoes can rapidly develop resistance to bed nets treated with insecticide, a study from Senegal says. In recent years the nets have become a leading method of preventing malaria, especially in Africa. In the Lancet Infectious Diseases, the researchers also suggest the nets reduced the immunity of older children and adults to malaria infection. But other experts say the study was too small to draw conclusions about the longterm effectiveness of nets. In the war against malaria, the cheapest and most effective weapon to date has been the long-lasting insecticide-treated bed net. Over the last few years the nets have been widely distributed in Africa and elsewhere - the World Health Organization says that when properly deployed they can cut malaria rates by half. In Senegal, around six million nets have been distributed over the last five years. In this study researchers looked at one small village in the country and tracked the incidence of malaria both before and after the introduction of nets in 2008. Within three weeks of their introduction the scientists found that the number of malaria attacks started to fall - incidence of the disease was found to be 13 times lower than before the nets were used.

The researchers also collected specimens of Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito species responsible for transmitting malaria to humans in Africa. Between 2007 and 2010 the proportion of the insects with a genetic resistance to one type of pesticide rose from 8% to 48%. By 2010 the proportion of mosquitoes resistant to Deltamethrin, the chemical recommended by the World Health Organization for bed nets, was 37%. In the last four months of the study the researchers found that the incidence of malaria attacks returned to high levels. Among older children and adults the rate was even higher than before the introduction of the nets. The researchers argue that the initial effectiveness of the bed nets reduced the amount of immunity that people acquire through exposure to mosquito bites. Combined with a resurgence in resistant insects, there was a rapid rebound in infection rates. The scientists were led by Dr Jean-Francois Trape from the Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement in Dakar. The authors are worried that their study has implications beyond Senegal. "These findings are a great concern since they support the idea that insecticide resistance might not permit a substantial decrease in malaria morbidity in many parts of Africa," they write. But other experts in this field say that it is impossible to draw wider conclusions.

In a commentary, Dr Joseph Keating from Tulane University, New Orleans, US, acknowledges the concerns the study raises. "If indeed this is a real trend we are seeing in this part of Senegal then it has very important implications for future malaria prevention and control strategies." But he says there are a number of important provisos. "I would certainly advise extending the study a couple of more years which would be helpful in determining if this is a true trend or is it something specific to that particular area. "We need to be very careful when generalising these data to the larger continent of Africa as a whole; there is plenty of variation between communities and within communities." Dr Keating acknowledges there is a debate within the scientific community on the issue of acquired immunity, the level of resistance to the disease that people get through being bitten. "There is a huge discussion around acquired immunity. And how long does it take for an individual to lose this immunity once they are no longer exposed to parasite? "So if you give someone a net he would be less exposed to parasites and it is possible that their immunity would shift to become less - but I think over all the benefits of nets certainly outweigh this potential loss of acquired immunity."

Music can help lift the lives of cancer victims MUSIC therapy for cancer sounds like the ultimate in New Age piffle and not to be taken too seriously.

But a respected US medical journal now claims that listening to music can indeed help relieve the suffering caused by cancer and the accompanying treatments. The study, published by the Cochrane Collaboration, looked at 30 clinical trials of music therapy - both those led by trained music therapists and ones where patients listened to recorded music on their own. Both methods were found to reduce anxiety and pain, and to improve mood and quality of life for cancer patients, although it had no impact on depression. Music may also improve heart rate, breathing and blood pres-

sure in cancer patients, says the review. But the effects were slight, and the potential bias in the trials was high, so don’t presume that the Beatles or The Rolling Stones are a panacea. There also weren’t enough trials, or enough patients - 2,000 took part in all - to tell whether having a trained music therapist was better than just listening to music. But aside from that, the report suggests that listening to music is a simple way for cancer patients and their families to help manage a stressful, often frightening, experience. “So many diagnoses of cancer, as well as the treatment, come with so much psychological stress,” says Joke Bradt, an associate professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia, who led the study. Prof Bradt, a music therapist herself, specialising in pain man-

agement, added: “Just experiencing the real beauty of music can give people a sense of hope.” Cancer is far from the only disease for which music has been used as medication. As another US magazine has reported, a Vietnam veteran uses the soothing sounds of the guitar to help heal the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. And hospitals, including the Mayo Clinic, have employed harpists to help patients heal. Cancer patients, though, don’t have to fear being trapped in the chemo unit listening to Sibelius. “A lot of people have the misconception that classical music needs to be used to soothe people,” says Bradt. “It is so not true!” The Cochrane Library publishes systematic reviews of existing research in order to guide health policy.

Leave popcore alone and plump for healthier snacks to stay slim A LEADING film chief has called for cinema chains to swap popcorn for healthier snacks like fruit salad and yoghurt. A tub of buttered popcorn can have up to 1,100 calories in it and Michael Lynton, head of Sony Pictures, told cinema owners they should be offering healthier snacks to help fight obesity. “I don’t mean close the window for popcorn, soda and sweets,” he said. “Audiences love them and should always be able to buy them at your theatres.” The average cinema bucket of buttered popcorn has 76g of fat and 1,100 calories, which is the equivalent of scoffing six McDonald’s cheeseburgers. According to Mr Lynton, healthier food selections suggested by cinema-

goers included fruit salads, vegetables with dip, yoghurt, granola bars, baked chips and unbuttered, airpopped popcorn. However, he admits that old habits might die hard, saying with a smile: “I don’t think giant tubs of spinach or broccoli is a good idea. And nobody wants to eat cauliflower while watching Spider-Man, or drink a 40oz cup of prune juice.” Last month Tim Smith, chief executive of the Food Standards Agency, called for filmgoers to be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and fizzy drinks and for them to be available in smaller portions. Deirdre Flynn, spokesman for the Popcorn Board, a non-profit organisation in the US, says: “Popcorn and movies have gone hand in hand since the early 1900s, and the No1 movie snack is popcorn.”

Give those hot dogs a miss if you want lessen diabetes risk TWO slices of bacon, a hot dog or a serving of deli meat daily has been found to significantly boost the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes. Eating 50 grams of processed red meat every day increased a person’s diabetes risk by 51%, while eating 100g of unprocessed red meat each day - about the size of a deck of playing cards - boosted the risk by 19%.

However, those risks went down if the red meat was substituted with nuts, white meat, low-fat dairy or whole grain proteins. Type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease involving high levels of blood sugar, is often caused by obesity, lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits. This major research, conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, represents the largest study of its kind and appears in the American Jour-

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

nal of Clinical Nutrition. “Clearly, the results from this study have huge public health implications, given the rising Type 2 diabetes epidemic and increasing consumption of red meats worldwide,” said senior author Frank Hu. “The good news is that such risk factors can be offset by swapping red meat for a healthier protein.” More than 204,000 nurses and health professionals in America were tracked for be-

tween 14 and 28 years. Researchers also updated a meta-analysis that included their data with other studies covering more than 442,000 participants. Alarmingly, diabetes affects nearly 350 million adults worldwide, and more than 11% of adults aged over 20, totalling 25.6 million people, in the United States have the disease, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

How shopping barometer gives supermarket takings such a lift HOW is it that supermarkets always seem to have just the right amount of burgers and salad items available during barbecue weather, and hot soups when it’s chilly, even in summer? Incredibly, stores such as Tesco rely on sensitive forecasting techniques, which can predict in astonishing detail how our purchases will be affected by even minor changes in temperature. And Tesco freely admit that apart from satisfying their customers, it saves them millions every year. Here’s how it works. When the thermometer rises from 68f to 75f (20c to 24c), say, then sales of hamburgers will increase by 42% according to the brains behind Tesco’s research. A sudden 10-degree rise on a summer weekend means customers want 300% more

barbecue meat and 50% more coleslaw, while the demand for green veg will fall by a quarter. Then, the cold weather sees soaring sales of cauliflower soup, long-life milk, sausages and root vegetables. Tesco, which tops the supermarket best-sellers each year, has introduced a system based on 15 years of research into shopping habits to make sure the right items are always on the shelves. It’s a daily ritual, with weather reports for 15 regions being taken and orders from local depots going up or down automatically during the day. The shopping forecasters know that as soon as the weather turns bitter, then hot chocolate and bird feed fly off the shelves. Whereas the first hot weekend sees strawberry sales shoot up. A Tesco spokesman said: “Even a few degrees change

in temperature can result in a significant shift in what people buy. “It’s vital that we ensure we have exactly the right amount of product on the shelf every day of the year. It also means that we don’t order too much, which keeps food waste down.” Ian Michaelwaite, whose forecasts are shared around 30 small chains of shops, said: “There is a 4.5% weather impact on sales of food, and 6% for clothing, which can make a difference to profit and loss.” He added: “Weather has the biggest impact on sales after the general state of the economy, and hot weather is not always good. “Shops want that in summer so they can stock up on barbeque food and summer dress, and then, about six weeks from now, they would like the weather to turn noticeably colder.”

Young’s fishing for Jamie Oliver Young's, the seafood specialist, is teaming up with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to launch his first range of branded frozen seafood. Jamie Oliver is to launch his first frozen seafood range with Young's The range marks Oliver's first major food tie-up after severing ties from his high-profile association with Sainsbury's. Oliver ended his relationship with Sainsbury's last month. The range will be made up of 12 seafood products, which have been sourced from sustainable alternatives to haddock and cod, including pollock. The range will hit supermarket shelves in September. It is thought to have gained listings in Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda, among others.

Page 42

The tie-up between the celebrity chef and Young's comes as consumers show an increased demand to buy sustainably sourced fish and seafood – a move that brands are looking to tap into. Marks & Spencer launched a Forever Fish campaign, supporting its sustainable fishing policy and Sainsbury's rolled out the "switch to fish" campaign, which offered shoppers free sustainable fish, in a move backed by Oliver.

When it comes to the crunch, cornflakes are out of favour BRITONS no longer enjoy their traditional breakfast of cereals, such as cornflakes or puffed wheat. They have turned instead to the current craze of wrapped cereal bars, which are becoming symbolic of today’s can’tstop-must-go brigade According to the Mintel market-research figures, 25% of people prefer a cereal bar for their breakfast instead of a bowl of cereal. It has affected sales so much that 80% of the biggest-selling brands have shown a drop in sales compared with 2010. The worst-hit cereal, which was always a firm favourite with children and adults alike, was Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, whose sales dropped by 15% per cent, according to market-research analysts SymphonyIRI.

Steve Donohue, general manager of buying for the Woolworths Liquor Group, said it was a "no-brainer" to sell the wine. "This is a world-wide phenomena and a first in the marketplace," he said. AC/DC, one of the highest-grossing bands of all time, are not the only rock band to launch a wine collection. KISS, Motorhead and Whitesnake have also started their own labels.

London`s bid for Aussie brewers has gone flat SABMiller's multibillion pound bid to buy Australian beer company Foster's has gone hostile. The London-based company had made an offer of just over £6bn, which Foster's rejected in June. Australia's largest brewer said the offer of A$4.90 (£3.14) per share was too low and refused to take discussions further. Foster's shares last traded at A$4.96 (£3.18) each. SABMiller, the world's second biggest brewer, has now taken its original bid direct to shareholders. Trevor Stirling, an analyst at Sanford C Bernstein, said he thinks SABMiller is now "calling Foster's management bluff". He said: "It really heaps the pressure on Foster's. "Until recently Foster's management was not engaging with

SABMiller's bid, but global markets are now 10-15% lower than when the original bid was made." Mr Stirling explained that as there appears to be no alternative bidder, Foster's risks shares dropping lower if SABMiller loses interest. He said: "If I were a Foster's shareholder, I would be putting pressure on management to engage with SABMiller, to open up the books and show why they believe the business is worth more than SABMiller's offer." If the company's bid is successful, it will be SABMiller's biggest acquisition, giving the brewer half of Australia's beer market, including the top-selling Victoria Bitter (VB). The acquisition would add to a catalogue including Peroni, Castle lager, Grolsh and Miller Lite.

Showboat Thomson Cruises have confirmed that the flagship of the fleet, Thomson Dream, is the proud host of Sky1 HD’s brand new talent entertainment programme – ‘Showboaters’.

Filmed around the Caribbean earlier this year, the programme sees ten amateur entertainers battle it out to prove they have what it takes to join the prestigious Thomson Dream headline Show Team. The contestants, who range from a 56 year old hairdresser to a 21 year old Geordie steel worker, went through a tough audition process in order to be part of the selected final ten.

They were then flown out to the Caribbean to join the ship for up to four weeks, while they performed their hearts out each week in front of the critical eyes of the passengers and a select panel of judges. After facing the weekly passenger vote, and pleading their case in front of the judges, two contestants were eliminated and flown home the very next day, until just four contestants remained for the grand final. As well as being challenged to learn a new show each week, the wannabes also had to integrate themselves into ship life. They had to learn the highs, lows and rules of becoming the ‘faces’ of Thomson Dream, constantly under the watchful eye of passengers and

the Cruise Director (and potential future boss), Stephen Guy. Giving an interesting and otherwise unseen perspective into what it takes to be a cruise ship entertainer, plus the added bonus of a stunning Caribbean location, Showboaters is sure to leave viewers wanting to run away to sea. Showboaters will be on Sky1HD from mid-September. The winner of the show can be seen as part of the Show Team on Thomson Dream this coming winter season. For more information and behind the scenes Showboaters gossip direct from the professional Show Team and the Judges, follow them on Twitter @ DreamShowboater or join their Facebook page Thomson Dream – Showboaters.

Thomson won’t leave Police out of pocket Following the recent cancellation of Police leave Thomson and First Choice allowed police officers to rebook their holidays without incurring any extra charges. Police Officers across the country were advised that all leave has been cancelled in order to deal with disturbances in England’s cities. Some obviously had holidays booked - if they’d booked their holidays with either Thomson or First Choice they were able to change their holiday dates free of charge.“We know

how important holidays are and that nobody needs a holiday more than members of the Police Force right now,” says Nick Longman, Director of Distribution for Thomson and First

Choice. “We want to ensure that all members of the Police will still be able to take their well earned break with us, at a time convenient to them.”

Two-week beach breaks 'exposing office cheats' Fraud investigators say employers could save millions in fraud costs if they force all staff to take a two-week summer holiday. The advice comes from a specialist fraud detection team at accountants Ernst & Young, who found that their workload peaked in the August holiday period. They say that when dishonest workers are made to take a break from the office, they

Page 44

are unable to hide their paper trail - and suspicious activity rises to the surface. "The profile of a typical fraudster is a long serving, trusted employee, who works long hours and is reluctant to take their annual leave, said Jonathan Middup, partner at Ernst & Young's Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services practice. "Without doubt, one of the most simple and cost-effective anti-fraud measures is to ensure employees take at least two consecutive weeks holiday."

Annual Cost Of Fraud Revealed Loss estimates by sector:

Public - £21bn Private - £12bn Individuals - £4bn Charity - £1.3bn Source: National Fraud Authority

Mr Middup said his team noticed a "clear increase" in the number of office cheats busted when they are forced to take a fortnight's break. "Frauds, such as accounts manipulation that are covered up in the course of the year are often spotted when colleagues take over and notice something is not quite right," he said. According to Ernst & Young, this August could be one of the busiest ever for workplace deception cases as the economic situation puts pressure on staff.

"Our findings show that many employees are finding work stresses unusually intense," said Mr Middup. His team advises companies to encourage workers to take full holidays, properly investigate issues which may at first appear to be trivial and demonstrate a zero tolerance approach to fraud. Earlier this year, the National Fraud Authority estimated fraud was costing the UK over £38bn a year, with the public sector bearing the brunt of the losses.

Bentley join the 4x4 race

BENTLEY, makers of exclusive, upmarket machines, are planning to launch a luxury 4x4 to rival the Range Rover - but not until 2014! It will be a huge, controversial step from a manufacturer with no SUV history, and whose output has always been split between ultra-luxurious limos and ultra-fast coupés. But Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer has confirmed that the company will definitely put a crossover SUV into showrooms. The £150,000 machine will be based on the same platform as the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne, which spells BIG, and should become Bentley’s best selling model by far when it eventually comes on the market. Durheimer, head of research and development at Porsche when the Cayenne 4x4 was launched, told carmagazine.co.uk: “I believe our version of the Cayenne could become our biggestselling vehicle; with an SUV Porsche doubled in size. “If Bentley were able to sell an SUV with the same level of craftsmanship as a Con-

tinental or Mulsanne, we could have an interesting success on our hands.” Despite having to be big to maintain the luxuriousness that Bentley buyers demand, it is believed that the Bentley SUV will be more coupé-like in shape, and probably a four-seater. It will cost more than a Porsche Cayenne, so that it won’t devalue the Bentley brand too much. But it will still be the cheapest Bentley by far and could, potentially, triple sales. The new car could also become Bentley’s first-ever diesel, and is likely to utilise the 6.0-litre V12 TDI unit, found in the £100,000 Audi Q7. This engine is capable of pushing the 2.6-tonne Audi SUV to 62mph in an amazing 5.5 seconds. Work on the vital new model is taking place at Crewe, where design chief Dirk van Braeckel and engineering boss Uli Eichhorn are masterminding the project with Durheimer. “I have great faith in the SUV market and it’s here to stay,” says Durheimer, who counts the launch of the Cayenne during his tenure at Weissach as “one of my proudest achievements”. The SUV will have hallmark

Bentley styling and a luxury wood-and-leather interior, which will place it above the Range Rover in terms of perceived quality. Coincidentally, the market launch is likely to overlap with that of Aston Martin’s promised Lagonda 4x4. Durheimer reckons that 1000Nm (738lb ft) is the required torque figure for the stately and luxu-

rious SUV, a figure that would ensure effortless performance in the mould of Bentley’s saloons and coupes. A W12 petrol would also be offered for markets where diesels aren’t so popular. The final go-ahead for Bentley’s SUV is still awaited from the VW Board, although the company are confident the project will

get the green light The big concern, of course, is the risk to Bentley’s blue-chip image. The company’s customer base has changed dramatically in recent year, and the majority of new Bentley owners may actually welcome such a move. “The average age of Continental GT buyers is below 50,” says a Bentley US

source. “Many don’t have any preconceptions of what a Bentley should be, except that it must make a bold visual statement.” While a 4x4 will definitely be at odds with Bentley’s traditional image, the controversial Cayenne, for example, has become a successful and profitable part of the Porsche range. And if Porsche can do it …

Banger brigade are at full throttle ONE of the biggest used-car companies in the UK are reporting a huge rise in people seeking old bangers. Auto Trader say the demand for cars worth £1,000 and below is outstripping supply, blaming the financial pressure for the trend. With petrol prices expected to continue soaring - at a time when thousands are driving up and down the UK on summer holidays - more and more are willing to plod about in old motors to keep costs down. Auto Trader's website is receiving 30,000 daily searches for cars under a grand, yet only 4,000 cars within that budget are for sale. There

Vauxhall Astra are 5,000 searches per day for a cheap Vauxhall Corsa, with only 10% available. It means that the value of some old cars - the sort that would have been sent to a breaker’s yard under the scrap-

page scheme - is actually rising. The Corsa tops the list of indemand cheapies, followed closely by the Ford Fiesta and Focus, and the Renault Clio. Buyers of rock-bottom motors should be wary, though,

because reliability issues can wipe out savings made by buying dirt cheap. As always, getting a car with as full a history as possible is imperative, and insist on a test-drive before buying.

And unless you’re an expert under the bonnet, it’s especially advisable to take someone along who knows a thing or two when viewing. Better still, pay a reputable mechanic to give it the once-over.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable AFTER a reasonable start to the season, the X-Men slipped to their fifth straight defeat last Friday during a home match with The Pub. Our old friend Harry hit his first 180 (he says it’s his last) and the visitors went on to take all eight games. Gaffers found a bit of form from somewhere and ended Yelas Bar’s fine spell with a whitewash, while Tavern took a valuable point as they entertained Valle Vikings. Captain Geoff checked out on 119 for the visitors. Fifth played sixth at Barracuda and in a close encounter, Toscales lost the trebles leg and the match 5-3. Mitch and London hit maximums for Nauta A to help their side to a win at Target Titans, and Cozy Wanderers remain third after a 6-2 victory at La Central. Elsewhere, a great night was had by struggling Bar 180

B as they faced up to Phoenix Bar. Young Beck and young Greta both won their singles, deservedly, but Del Boy was having none of it and put in a fine performance to take the points in a 6-2 success. The Knights’ promotion charge continued at full throttle and they comfortably dispatched the Bad Boys/Girls 8-0. Sundowners stay top after a 7-1 win over Trap Door, while Sunshine Bar had to win the trebles to take all the points from Palms Sports Bar. Naughty Nautas are having a good time this campaign, proving their point with a 120 finish by Bill and a 7-1 hammering of Marilyns, while La Caña Lancers faced local rivals Phoenix Flames and doused the visitors’ fire 5-3. Mid-table teams Valle Vikings 2 and Summerland Hopefuls thrashed out a 4-4 draw, and Tenerife Sun went up one place to fifth after a solid 6-2 success against Barracuda Hunters.

New season, new hope THIS Sunday, CD Tenerife begin the long journey back to respectability. For the first time in 24 years, they start a season in the third tier of Spanish football.

Segunda B Group 1 is part League 1 and part Conference by English standards. It’s a strange mix of fallen giants, provincial sides and young upstarts. There are 80 teams in four groups all chasing just four promotion places, and the league winners are guaranteed nothing in what is a weird play-off scenario. That is something for CD Tenerife to worry about next June. The first battle is to get into those top four places. It all starts in Santa Cruz at 5pm as Vecindario, from Gran Canaria, visit for an instant derby date. The last time they were in the Heliodoro, they walked away with a 3-0 win after the worst Tenerife performance I have ever seen. A lot has happened since then and, after Tenerife’s promotion followed by double-bubble relegation, it looks like another roller-coaster ride this season. There are no easy groups at this level, and Tenerife have

been thrown in with some of the bigger teams. Albacete, relegated along with CDT, are in Group 1, along with Rayo Oviedo. This proud side are very similar to Sheffield Wednesday, and they are slowly climbing back after horrific financial problems saw them nearly go bust. They fell as low as Division Four, but Stan Collymore’s former team will be in the promotion mix this season. As will Real Madrid’s B team Castilla. They just missed out on the play-offs last season, but they have a raft of hungry young kids to call on. Star player is 18-year-old Alvaro Morata, who bagged 14 goals last year and should do even better this time. CD Lugo won this division last year before crashing in the play-offs, and they are to be feared, along with Legañes, who always seem to finish in the top five. Last year they were boosted by 25 goals from Mikel Arruabarrena. Yes, that is the same donkey who couldn't hit a cow’s backside with a banjo when he played for Tenerife a few years ago. So, along with Albacete, Tenerife have nothing to fear. They are by far the biggest fish in this pond. New manager Antonio Calderon is under pressure to

hit the group running, and he had the team playing well last weekend. They lost 1-0 at home against Las Palmas, but there was lots to like about the brand-new team. Only captain Luna remained in the outfield line-up, and plenty of the new boys looked smart. There is, of course, a world of difference between a

free season kick-about and the hurly-burly of league action. Tenerife, still a striker short, should start with Kiko and Perona up front against Vecindario. In midfield, Ferran was man of the match against Las Palmas and should start wide right, while Victor may just have done enough to edge out Nico, despite the

latter’s impressive cameo. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard that Kitoko had resigned. He was all set to join Standard Liege, but the deal kicked at the last minute. The Congo youngster jumped at the chance to return here and he will be a star this year. He should partner Marcos Rodriguez in the centre.

The defence picks itself. Skipper Luna will be partnered by Tarantino at the heart, with Venezuelan Meji left-back and Cristobal on the right. Sergio Aragoneses will have the gloves and, with the bookies offering Tenerife at 2-5, we should start with a win! The match is live on Oasis Fm from 4.45pm this Sunday.

Phoenix leave Toscales in a flap THERE has been a general feeling that this might be the tightest-ever League season, and the early matches are certainly showing that to be true.

After just two rounds, there are only four sides with 100% records in Division One. Phoenix Knights lead the way after Harry’s Boys fine win at home to Toscales, while defending champs Palms A were given a good test at Dreamers before coming through 6-4. Legends are also perfect after winning the battle of the promoted sides 7-3 against Tasca, while Terrace Bar A somehow managed to beat Atlantis Sharks 6-4, despite the lads spending the whole afternoon at a wake. Bar 180 A caused a shock by holding Summerland Su-

perstars to a draw, and there were wins for Tenerife Hammers A, Bar 180 C, Hoops and Trap Door, who succeeded at Summerland Allstars to gain their first victory of the season. If it’s tight in Division One, it’s airtight in Division Two. There were four more drawn matches, and only two sides have six points out of six. Barracuda Bandits and Lupain set the pace and Bandits will be delighted with their 9-1 win over relegated Market Taverners. Lupain were full value for their win against Connors in Los Cristianos. Bizarrely, these two sides meet on Tuesday! Exiles A started their campaign with a narrow win over Nauta B, and Inn The Pink got back on track with a nervy victory against Palms B. All the other matches were drawn, and there is little to suggest that there will be

19 August 2011 - 25 August 2011

much change over the next few weeks. The three pre-season favourites are all perfect through two matches in Division Three. The Treehouse were always in control of Wandabar B, as were Exiles B, who won 7-3 at Next Door. They join Gaffers B at the top. Dos Hermanos started their life in the league with a 7-3 win at Lucky Leprachan, The Office and James Place settled for a draw, as did C&A Titans at Legendary Jokers. Finally, we have to bring some more sad news on another player who has passed away. Terrace Bar B’s Brian “Dangerous” Webb (pictured) was a great man, if maybe not the world's best pool player! Always happy to be playing and enjoying the occasion, he will be remembered fondly by all who knew and played him.
