Operation nightmare! Hospitals closed in the afternoons to keep costs down
TENERIFE and the other Canary Islands, already braced for a proposed one-day strike by National Health Service workers on Thursday, now face a new crisis. A recent decision by the Canarian Ministry of Health to restrict some hospital procedures to mornings only - including operations - has been extended indefinitely. This was confirmed jointly on Wednesday by Bridget Mendoza, Canary Islands Health Minister, and Chief Executive Juana Maria Reyes. Basically, it means that because of the ongoing row about budget cuts and no extra pay for overtime between the NHS and health workers, every hospital in the Canary Islands will be unused in the afternoons. Both health chiefs agreed at Wednesday’s press conference to announce next year’s budget, that “a restriction on special consultations, diagnostic tests and surgical waiting list, will be maintained, although Mendoza stressed: “It will not affect oncology or life-threatening tests.”
Nevertheless, it virtually means: “Don’t break and arm or leg in the afternoon or you’ll have a painful time awaiting treatment!” Angry health workers, determined to make a stand against what they see amounts to a reduction in wages and the proposed 1,300 redundancies in 2012, say they will not relent. They view the increase in working hours, from 35 to 37½ hours with no extra pay, as an effective 8% wage cut. But Reyes fanned the flames even further by confirming the Canarian Government’s intention to see that many activities now performed during overtime will be carried out within normal working hours next year. Reyes added: “This half-hour more per day that they are being asked to work (which is actually 20 minutes) will be allocated to sites that may need strengthening in certain services to reduce the waiting lists. “But always, our ultimate goal is to ensure basic services and compliance with deadlines established by law.” As announced by Mendoza, the 2012 budget will amount to 2,471,171,061 euros, which translates into a 2.70%
increase over last year, adding up to 65 million euros more. “These new figures mean our services will benefit the entire population, and will also insure our pharmaceutical services," she said. “In addition, technological advances continue to implement and promote ICTs, as well as the multiple programmes’ promotion of healthy lifestyles, and the prevention diseases, or screening programmes such as breast cancer.” Mendoza insisted repeatedly: “The new budget will guarantee the sustainability of existing jobs in the Canary Islands Health Service and salary reductions will not be implemented.” However, it is understood that almost 50% of the Health Ministry’s budget will go to staff, which will undoubtedly inflame the public health workers even more. Representatives of the CCOO, UGT, and SATSE CESM unions were already fuming over the proposed new budget two weeks ago. They also accused the regional government of “lies” and “provocations”, which, they said, was the last straw for their workers. Even more damning, José Alonso
Tapia, Secretary General of the Federation of Social Services (CCOO), said the measures taken by the regional government ministers had left them in a complete state of “helplessness”. He added: “We all understand that we are in a crisis situation, but these are not cuts, but a true nonsense. Human resources are the backbone of service.” Another possible health problem in Tenerife has emerged following last week’s edict by the Government that doctors must now prescribe cheaper drugs for their patients to save the NHS some 2,000 million euros a year. Instead of brand names, they must now state the name of the “active” drug and not the brand name on patients’ prescriptions. But one woman contacted Canarian Weekly yesterday to complain that her “new” blood pressure tablets made her extremely ill. The 59-year-old, who has been taking regular NHS pills to combat the problem for 10 years, said she felt as though she had severe flu symptoms after being given the new tablets. “I went back to the doctor at Las Chafiras and explained how ill I felt,” she
said. “He said there was no problem and wrote out my usual prescription. “But when I returned to the pharmacia, I was told that they couldn’t supply them unless I paid the difference in price. “The new ones were just 50 cents, whereas the old ones, which used to cost me three euros on prescription, now cost six. Fortunately, I can afford them and I feel better already. But what about all the other people - Spanish and British alike? They may be experiencing the same problems as I have had and can’t pay for them? It’s not the actual drug that affected me but the compound they mix it in with to form the tablet. The ones I took were rubbish and made me feel terrible. I’m okay now with my old prescription, but I feel I should warn people about the dangers of these cheap drugs. “I did some research and discovered they are made in India, whereas my usual ones are made by ICI. “It’s something the Government might like to look into before going on about all the money they will save by going cheap.”

News around the Islands Island memo to mainland Spain TENERIFE Cabildo and the Post Office (Correos) are launching a scheme to attract more Spanish here from the mainland by sending traditional letters and postcards promoting the Island as a holiday destination. Contact details will be gained via social networks, with the collaboration of hoteliers, to entice clients to rebook.
Adeje’s weekly culture club TODAY, and each subsequent Friday in November, Adeje Council is supporting local culture with the annual Dance and Theatre Festival at the Cultural Centre.
Golden-oldies show the way EX-PRO footballers from the UK and further afield are organising another three-day Soccer Experience Tenerife Masters tournament from today (Friday) at Adeje’s Las Torres Sports Complex.
Classical treat for concert-goers TENERIFE Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Victor Pablo Pérez, will perform a special concert at the sparkling Auditorium Infanta Leonor in Los Cristianos on Thursday (17th Nov).
The show, organised by the Municipal Board of Culture of Arona, produced by Xenox Productions and sponsored by Tenerife Cabildo, begins at
8.30pm and features pieces from Miaskovsky and Tchaikovsky. The promoters are planning four concerts for the Symphony Orchestra next year in various cultural areas around the Island. These venues will include the Infanta Leonor Auditorium, which is considered one of the most suitable because of its excellent acoustics, seating and superb surround-
ings. That decision speaks volumes for the building, which opened in March, because it will surely become established as the main concert hall in the South of Tenerife. So Thursday offers a unique opportunity to enjoy music by one of the best symphony orchestras in Spain, under the direction of one of the great national directors, Victor Pablo Perez, and
in perfect surroundings. The concert will be divided into two parts: the first featuring Russian composer Miaskovsky’s Symphony No. 6 in E flat minor, opus 23. In the second half, the orchestra will play Tchaikovsky’s suites Nos 1 and 2 from the The Nutcracker Suite ballet. Tickets, costing 18 euros, are on sale in the auditorium, the cafeteria and at the box office.

French here in numbers
Waves of optimism for tourist industry TENERIFE has already welcomed around 1.5 million British tourists to the Island this year, which is close to matching the soaring 2005 numbers. The uplifting figures represent a 12% increase in people from the UK, with cruise passengers and those taking advantage of all-inclusive hotels contributing most. Visiting numbers to the Island made depressing reading for about three years before April 2010, but new figures have lifted the tourist sector hugely. British guests have made up 31% of 2011 visitors, and Tenerife accounts for 45% of all UK arrivals to
the Canary Islands. Tourism Minister Carlos Alonso, who is visiting the World Travel Market at the ExCel Centre in London’s Docklands, was delighted to announce that Tenerife was close to matching those 2005 numbers. He also revealed that the average age of visitors was slowly falling - down to 49 now - mainly because of the growing number of younger couples. Bookings for Tenerife are mostly online, with 67% of flights booked on the web and 44% attributed to accommodation. And online research plays big part, with 82% of tourists making full use of the facility. It will certainly not please the general hotel industry,

The ultimate party animal In preparation for the party season, our conversations, thoughts, TV ads etc turn to drinks, canapes, attire and must have gifts, but apparently there is one accessory that you just can’t do with out this year – a reindeer. According to British newspaper reports, it seems that the flying Reindeer have joined the A-list rankings. Google searches for ‘Reindeer’ rank higher that the most popular Santa Claus. One UK company have even set up their own Reindeer farm – Real Reindeer. The Reindeer prove popular for winter weddings as well as festive events. Peter Fitzgerald, Google UK, commented in the Daily Mail, “Over the last two years searches for Reindeer have overtaken searches for Father Christmas by 5 percent” In relation to Christmas Santa Claus's sleigh is pulled by flying reindeer. The flying Reindeer originated in the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", here however they are called Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, and Blixem. Later Dunder was later to Donder, often referred to as Donner (in German, "thunder"), and Blixem was later changed to Bliksem, then Blitzen (German for "lightning"). Rudolph, perhaps the best known Reindeer was not part of the original herd; he was added by Robert L. May in 1939 as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". Latest research from Mintel reveals that consumers are set to increase their spending over the coming months boosting Christmas spend for 2011 after very weak demand in the last three months.
16% of consumers are planning to buy electrical equipment over the next three months, up from 12% in August. 29% are planning to buy new clothes, up from 21% last month. Against that there is a small increase in the numbers planning to save - but consumers always like to claim they are about to be more virtuous. But while things are looking better than first envisaged for Christmas 2011, the weather can play a major part in sales performance. This forecast is on the assumption that we don’t have another harsh December. Last December Britain experienced very bad weather. Retail sales growth was limited to just 2.0% (and volumes fell by 0.4%). The bad weather cost at least 1% point of growth and possibly 1.5%. And it seems that the trend towards Christmas shopping online is set to continue. Online is an increasingly important part of Christmas retail sales. With the majority of online sales through the websites of the major high street or catalogue retailers, the move online is, therefore, not a bad thing for the market leaders, in fact it is likely to strengthen their position in the marketplace. It’s hard to be optimistic about 2012. The negative factors in 2011 will continue – rising unemployment and squeezed incomes. Volume sales will be weak and there is a real possibility of a retail recession – something we have, so far, not experienced since the downturn started in Spring 2008, according to Mintel. Until next week…

The Cabildo of Tenerife, through the Society for the Promotion of the disabled (SINPROMI SL), and the area of Adeje will be boosting accessible tourism in the south of the island through a collaboration agreement to promote universal accessibility from the beach of Fañabe and its urban environment. This agreement is part of the development project - (Tamac).
Minster of Social Action, Cristina Valido, explained that "through this agreement and Adeje, SINPROMI will value the accessibility of the existing beach and its environment. Thereafter, appropriate improvements will be made, if necessary, to obtain certification in universal accessibility as set out in the UNE 170001" The agreement states that SINPROMI provide technical advice through specialised personnel in the south along
with new technologies, both for development and diagnosis to improve support and services to the diverse users needing them. SINPROMI through the Tamac project has recently achieved universal accessibility certification for the Playa de Las Vistas beach (Arona) and Metropolitano de Tenerife. With this distinction, the Tenerife tram has become the first passenger transport system in Spain which has achieved universal accessibility.
New sports centre in Playa Paraiso THE municipality of Adeje and the department of building and construction, led by Gonzalo Delgado Diaz, opened the new sports complex and skate park in Playa Paraiso last Wednesday.
These facilities, said the councillor "are the answer to a promise made by the Mayor and the local government to its residents who demanded a space adapted to sport appropriate for youth, adults and seniors." He continued, “the area is just about ready for the public.” The opening ceremony was attended by many local councillors including, Amada Trujillo Bencomo, who thanked the residents of Playa Paraiso and invited them to "enjoy and care for the facility." Also present were representatives from the Municipal School of Football, specifically the young category, who displayed their skills in the new sports facilities, which have cost 178,500 Euros. Meanwhile, Diaz Delgado recalled that the sports centre has been the result of demand by residents to the Mayor of Adeje approximately five months ago, "today we not only inaugurate the sports centre but also a skate park, two infrastructures that have led to
the projects success through the efforts of all and now we need to maintain, care for and properly use it for it to prevail in time." The councillor said "we are waiting for a small item of bureaucracy to be finalised, but we believe in a time not exceeding three months, we will be open." The sports facilities are built on a plot of 3,182 square meters. The
Sports Centre and Skate Park have been designed to allow pedestrian accessibility, is well equipped and installed is high performance, energy efficient lighting. The sports ground has been made to be multi functional for various uses such as soccer, handball, basketball, volleyball, tennis and roller hockey, identified by different coloured lines on the surface of the areas for each sport.

10,000 free tram tickets THIS week, at the Guimerá theatre tram stop, the Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Employment Efrain Medina from the Cabildo of Tenerife presented a new phase of the ‘Revitalisation Plan’ by distributing 10,000 free tram tickets.
In the words of the councillor "it is an act designed to build customer loyalty, which consists of vouchers just for
having a card for this shopping centre." "These vouchers, will be distributed by four people acting as ambassadors for the tram," he added. The Plan is an initiative launched earlier this year by the Cabildo of Tenerife and the Canary Islands Government, in collaboration with Metropolitano de Tenerife, which more than 800 businesses from Santa Cruz and La Laguna have joined. Among its priorities are the revitalisation of trade in Tenerife; one of the steps
taken towards this has been the distribution of 40,000 cards that are used to get discounts and deals in stores along the stretch of tram lines linking Santa Cruz de Tenerife to La Laguna. Efrain Medina stated that "it is the largest shopping area of the Canary Islands, because it starts in the capital of Tenerife and ends in La Trinidad (La Laguna)." "Like a huge escalator linking to 800 stores found in the vicinity of the tram route," said the councillor.
Disappearing pensioner found, but mystery remains unsolved AN Essex pensioner, who vanished from his holiday home in Los Cristianos, turned up on La Gomera two days later.
Bob Kent, aged 79, was dressed in T-shirt and shorts and had no money or ID with him when he disappeared in a flash after his wife, Anne, took her eyes off him for a moment on Sunday. The couple had only just arrived at their apartment in the Port Royale complex when Bob, said to be suffering from Alzheimer’s and in need of regular medication, took off.
Incredibly, he was found in Valle Gran Rey on Tuesday after somehow hitching a ride on the Benchi Express catamaran, which sails between Los Cristianos and La Gomera. It ended a two-day nightmare for his wife, who reported his disappearance to the police, then mustered help for a search of the area, to no avail. Miraculously, a man fitting his description was seen on Tuesday in Valle Gran Rey, rather disorientated but safe and sound. He spent the night under observation in hospital and
G-20 summit
The President of the Government, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, expressed his satisfaction at the agreement reached by the Member States of the G-20 Summit in Cannes to implement an action plan for growth and employment. The G-20, to be led by Mexico in the coming year, will set up a special unit dedicated to fostering jobs for young people.
The President of the Government underlined at the end of the Summit that Spain "has defended the need to support economic growth as a fundamental base for recovery and financial stability and, above all, for the major social objective of creating jobs". In that respect, the President of the Government expressed his satis-

La Gomera’s Guardia Civil have no idea how he managed to board the Benchi Express ferry - his only means of getting to La Gomera – especially with no cash. If it’s that easy, however, it just makes you wonder how many others in South Tenerife, who were reported to have disappeared “mysteriously”, have actually made their way to La Gomera, or any of the other Canary Islands, in recent years.
faction at the action plan for growth and employment reached by the leaders of the G-20. This global plan is the responsibility of all countries, indicated José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, both developed countries and emerging countries, according to their fiscal margin and the balance of their current account. In this respect, he explained, those countries with a surplus have "expressly" committed to drive internal demand to support recovery. For their part, the Eurozone countries, continued the President of the Government, have committed to applying "with the utmost speed" the commitments reached at the European Summit on 26 October to tackle the sovereign debt crisis. The President of the Government highlighted that, for the first time, the G-20 is to set up a study unit dedicated to the employment of young people, the contributions form which will be led by Mexico and which will culminate at the Summit in 2012.

El Hierro mystery goes on THE island of El Hierro and its bemused residents are still in a state of flux following further days of oceanic unrest off La Restinga.
The undersea eruption, which sent volcanic debris shooting 20 metres into the air, appeared to have been capped on Wednesday after reports that the mass had moved to within 70m of the surface. Scientists based in the southernmost village reported yesterday (Thursday) that the erupting, bubbling vent had probably closed completely, and that all surface activity had stopped. The Rámon Margalef Oceanographic ship, which had been circling the area, was able to get close to the centre of the action yesterday to take gas and water samples. But El Hierro officials have still closed beaches near the eruption for fear of “toxic gases” and there are just six people reported to be living in La Restinga at the moment. The scientists say the closure of erupting vents is a normal phase in this kind of activity, but it does not mean the volcano activity has ceased. If the volcano continues in the same pattern, the seismic activity may be getting stronger again as the magma trying to find its way to
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields

the surface has been blocked. The water temperature at La Restinga, the island’s main fishing port, has been already strongly affected by the eruption. It has been measured at 35.3 degrees instead of the usual 24 degrees in the vicinity of the volcano, reflecting a major heat flow, and the poisoned water has killed almost all marine life near the port.
The Canary Island President, says his government’s support for the evacuated and affected islanders will arrive in a few days. But that will hardly be of much comfort to them in these bewildering times on the smallest island in the Canaries, which has experienced no fewer than 11,342 tremors - known as an earthquake swarm - in the past few months.
Drugs ring dismantled The Guardia Civil implemented Operation Anthracite, developed in Bilbao, Madrid, Fuerteventura, Tenerife and La Palma, and as a result arrested 18 people (14 Colombians, three Spanish and one from Venezuela - fifteen men and three women), members of a network dedicated to drug trafficking, using "mules "between Bilbao and the island of La Palma.
The operation began in the middle of this year, after detecting an organisation dedicated to drug trafficking on the island of La Palma. The organisation, located mainly in Bilbao, took the drug from Colombia and moved on scheduled flights to Madrid, using " mules " (people who use their bodies to transport drugs.) Once the drug was in Spain, it was moved Bilbao for adulteration and subsequent delivery to the Canary Islands by air or vehicles fitted with double bottoms. When the drug arrived in La Palma it was distributed by other group members, under the supervision of a Colombian organisation that was established on the island and was in charge of its distribution, being itself one of the

main leaders of the organization. In the course of the operation six mules, have been arrested two of them in a Colombian airport as they prepared to fly to Spain. A mule was also arrested in Lanzarote airport, carrying 1,250 grams of cocaine in 108 capsules, inside their body. During house searches eight people have been arrested, 11 kilos of cocaine seized, plus 6 kilos of hashish and 1.5 kilos of other substances, cutting tools and products for the adulteration of drugs, three vehicles, 6,000 euros and other documentation related to the illegal activity of the organisation.

THIS is the most moving war poem of all, entitled In Flanders Field, which was composed in 1915 by a Canadian medical officer, Colonel John McCrae. It was to capture the imagination of the British people in the dark days of trench warfare on the Western Front, when so many young soldiers failed to return. Only one other living thing survived the horrors of warfare there, and that was the wild red poppy, which flowered every year. It became a popular symbol for all those who died in battle, and the tradition has remained to this day. And that is why the Royal British Legion call on huge numbers of volunteers, armed with collecting tins, to distribute poppies in the early part of November the world over - including Tenerife - in preparation for Remembrance Day, which is today (Friday). It commemorates the signing of the treaty, at 11am on 11th November, 1918, to end hostilities between the Allied Forces and Germany. But Remembrance Sunday (the nearest Sunday to the actual day every year) is when the main services are held. It is known simply as Poppy Day, and here on the Island, there are several events going on. The British Legion’s special Service of Remembrance always takes place outdoors at Westhaven Bay, Costa del Silencio. It starts at 10.30am, takes pride of place here in the South of Ten-
erife and is always exceptionally well attended. And those paying their respects to the fallen from all the wars are always advised to bring water with them, and some form of shelter from the sun, as it is usually a lengthy affair. The British Legion poppies have been circulated here for 13 years, and there has always been a fine response from the public. Last year, the Legion collected 9,683.90 euros in Tenerife South, and Poppy Appeal Organiser Kelly hopes that figure will be surpassed. All monies collected goes to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, which helps towards the group’s welfare work, not only in the UK but all over the world, including Tenerife. The Legion, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, prides itself on all the help it has given to needy ex-service personnel and their dependents throughout those years. Kelly says: “Wars from all over the world have seen so many, of so many ages, injured, and this is where we come in. Please give generously and wear your poppy with pride.” Other Acts of Remembrance services on Sunday include: Anglican Chaplaincy San Eugenio, Las Americas (10.15am) Swedish Church, Los Cristianos (10.30) San Blas, Golf del Sur (6pm) Espiritu Santo, Los Gigantes (6) South Christian Fellowship Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos (10.50) Coral Mar Square, Silencio (10.50)

Wingate poster girls a real picture of pride for Lions TENERIFE Sur Lions Club welcomed Wingate School’s participation again in the prestigious Lions International Poster Competition. Their students were representing the South of Tenerife in a competition which encouraged youngsters to think about peace, and express their feelings creatively, sharing their own unique visions with the world. The posters were evaluated on three criteria at each level of judging: Originality, Artistic Merit and Expression of the theme Children know Peace. Tenerife Sur Lions Club has, for many years, fostered a vibrant youth involvement in the community, especially with holidays for under-privileged and handicapped children. Club President Phil Glock and Edna Goodall, who organised the scheme, formed part of the judging team, along with Wingate art teacher Shelby Healey. Individual winners received their awards during assemblies on the last week of school before half-term holidays. The winner and the two merit awards were of a very high standard, and needed much deliberation from the judges for the 25 entries.
The winning poster has now been sent to Madrid to be judged again on a national level, and whoever wins will then represent Spain. The international Grand Prize winner and family receive a holiday during the awards ceremony on Lions Day at the United Nations in New York. The first prize is $2,500 with a further 23 prizes of $500. First prize went to Elise
Sawyer, with the Merit Awards going to Alison Colles and Meganne McCafferty. Special thanks go to Wingate School and all those children who gave their time and effort to make this event so memorable. Pictured are the three Wingate winners, Ellie with her poster, plus Wingate art teacher Shelby Healey and Lions President Phil Glock.

Red Arrows death: pilot killed on base is named The Red Arrows pilot who was killed after being ejected from his aircraft while on the ground has been named as Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham. As a result of the accident on Tuesday, the Ministry of Defence has suspended all non-essential training flights of RAF planes with Mark 10 ejection seats as a precaution. Flt Lt Cunningham, 35, had been selected to join the team in October 2010 and was a senior member who flew at the front of the formation during air shows. He was born in South Africa, but moved to the UK in 1986, aged nine. He was a promising footballer, but it was his dream to become a fast-jet pilot. He went to school in Coventry and graduated from Nottingham Trent University before joining the RAF in

2000, flying the Tornado GR4 during several tours of Iraq. His father, Jim, mother Monika, and sister, Nicolette, said he was a "much loved son and brother who will be dearly missed". They said in a statement: "Since his childhood Sean had dreamed of flying fast jets in the RAF; through his hard work and dedication he achieved that dream, and the pinnacle of his career was flying in the Red Arrows." Colleagues said Flt Lt Cunningham was affectionately known as 'Enid', and he had a key position mentoring and training new pilots. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said the pilot was "regarded as among the most talented aviators in the world". An independent investigation has been launched into Flt Lt Cunningham's death. It will look at why the ejection seat in the Hawk T1 aircraft was activated.
Floral tributes and a photograph of Flt Lt Cunningham have been left at RAF Scampton, the Red Arrow's base in Lincolnshire where the incident happened on Tuesday morning. One message described him as a "red angel'. Only last week, a memorial service was held at nearby Lincoln Cathedral for Flt Lt Jon Egging, a Red Arrows pilot killed in a crash at a Dorset air show in August. The results of an inquiry into that accident have not yet been published. The Red Arrows pilots performed a "fly past" in memory of Flt Lt Egging at the cathedral, and were back in action from September.

News of his post comes a day after a coalition government was formed following three days of intense powersharing talks between the two main political parties. The move was announced by Mr Papandreou who is stepping down as leader to make way for the new administration. Mr Papademos, 64, will take on the role over parliament speaker Filippos Petsalnikos, 60, who was initially tipped as the likely candidate to lead the interim government. Speaking soon after the announcement, Mr Papademos admitted he had a tough job ahead of him and that the country was at a "crucial crossroads". "The Greek economy is facing huge problems despite the efforts undertaken," he said. "The choices we will make will be decisive for the Greek people. The path will not be easy but I am convinced the problems will be resolved faster and at a smaller cost if there is unity, understanding and prudence." In an address to the nation on Thursday, outgoing leader Mr Papandreou wished the new government well. If the Euro collapses it doesn't mean we return to fighting each other, but it does suggest...that the future will be closer to the European Economic Community model. He said: "I am proud that, despite the difficulties, we avoided bankruptcy and ensured the country stayed on its feet. "I would like to wish every success to the new prime minister and of course the new government. I will stand by them and I will support them with all my strength."
He added Greece will now implement the £110bn (130bn euro) rescue package on offer from Europe and do its utmost to stay in the euro. Approval of the deal will allow the release of an £6.88bn (8bn euro) loan installment, without which the country will go bankrupt before Christmas. Mr Papandreou's statement came after intense negotiations between his socialist PASOK party and the opposition conservatives, led by Antonis Samaras. The latest crisis in Greece was triggered by Mr Papandreou's surprise announcement last week that he would hold a nationwide referendum on the rescue package. It prompted an angry backlash from European leaders who had hammered out the agreement barely a week before. Mr Papandreou also faced a revolt from his socialist party colleagues. He later withdrew the referendum plan after Mr Samaras indicated he would support the debt deal. The squabbling in Athens came as another threat emerged to the euro with the borrowing costs of Italy, one of Europe's largest economies, hitting historic highs. It happened despite Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi pledging to resign after MPs passed economic reforms demanded by the EU to keep the Italian economy afloat. Both Italy and Greece are under intense pressure to reassure financial markets they are tackling their massive debts, which are threatening to sink the 17-country eurozone. US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the two countries were belatedly moving forward with recovery plans. "I think they're making progress," Mr Geithner said. "It's not as fast as the world needs, but they're making progress. "We're doing everything that we can to encourage them to move more quickly and where we can help them, we're going to help them."

Fifa does U-turn over England`s poppy ban
Fifa has climbed down over its decision to ban the England football team from wearing remembrance poppies and will now allow players to display them.
Pressure from the Duke of Cambridge and Prime Minister David Cameron helped persuade football's international governing body to reverse its ruling. Prince William penned a strongly-worded note privately to Fifa expressing his dismay at the move. Mr Cameron also wrote to the organisation, assuring it that there were "no political connotations whatsoever" associated with the poppies. Less than an hour after the letters were made public, Fifa announced it would allow England's players to wear a poppy on their black armbands during Saturday's friendly match with Spain. A spokesman for St James' Palace said William, who is president of the Football Association, was "happy" with the decision. A Downing Street spokesman said Mr Cameron welcomed Fifa's decision, saying: "It's a sensible way forward." In a statement, the FA also welcomed the decision and thanked Fifa. The FA can confirm that Fifa has today agreed that the England team will now be permitted to wear a poppy on the black armbands the players will wear during Saturday's match with Spain. While continuing to adhere to the laws of the game, wearing the poppy on the armband
does ensure the poppy will be visible throughout the game. The FA welcomes Fifa's decision and thanks them for agreeing to this. A Royal British Legion spokesman said: "The Royal British Legion is delighted that England players will be able to wear their poppy with pride. "As we said earlier, there are other ways of honouring the poppy than wearing it on your shirt - the armband will do nicely. Now everyone can concentrate on enjoying the game." Sky News sources said: "Although Prince William wrote in his capacity as president of the FA, he was personally very annoyed. "That comes off the back of him being a serving member of the Armed Forces and having lost friends who've served in the Armed Forces." Mr Cameron had earlier described the ban as "outrageous" and called for the sport's ruling body to reverse the "absurd" decision that barred the team from having the symbol embroidered on their shirts at Wembley on Saturday. Officials originally turned down the special request, made by the
FA, claiming it would "open the door to similar initiatives" across the world. Fifa bosses were reported to be worried about setting a precedent that would mean, in future years, if England were playing Germany at the same time of year, the poppies might cause offence. But German football officials said an England team wearing the remembrance emblem would not upset them. "I cannot imagine we would have any objection to the idea of England's players having poppies on their shirts. It just wouldn't be a problem," German Football Federation general secretary Wolfgang Niersbach said. This is the first year the England team has made the request to have the poppy included with their kit. The Royal British Legion explained the idea had come about from the players themselves. "The idea really took off last year," a spokeswoman from the charity told Sky News Online. The charity, which is marking its 90th year this year, said such public gestures create exposure for its cause.
Asteroid misses earth An asteroid the length of four football pitches has skimmed past the Earth - the largest to come so close in more than 30 years.
Travelling at eight miles per second between the Earth and the Moon, it was at one point just 201,700 miles from our planet. The 400-metre-wide asteroid, called 2005 YU55, was closer to us than the Moon as it whizzed by - but Nasa scientists had already ruled out any chance of impact. Astronomers around the world aimed their telescopes to catch a glimpse and for them it would have appeared as a white dot. But it was not visible to the naked eye when it passed Earth at its closest point at 11.28pm UK time on Tuesday. Nasa captured pictures which it will use to get a better understanding of the space rock. Experts believe 2005 YU55 will orbit Venus in about 18 years before returning towards Earth in 2041. Scientists say the next time such a large asteroid will pass our planet will be in 2028.

Comet sold for a pittance Kesa, Europe's thirdbiggest electrical goods retailer, has agreed to sell its lossmaking electrical chain Comet for just ÂŁ2.
The buyer is a group of companies under the name Hailey Holdings Ltd, advised by retail turnaround firm, OpCapita LLP. Comet, which has 248 stores and 10,000 employees in the UK, has been up for sale since the summer. Kesa said it will invest ÂŁ50m in Hailey, the shareholder of the purchaser, and take on the firm's pension scheme. Comet saw a 18.6% fall in
like-for-like sales in the first half of 2011, mainly due to a big drop in the sales of TVs and large appliances. Kesa said that group revenue fell 7.6% over the same period, and that Comet is expected to make a loss of ÂŁ22.3m in the six months to October 31. Comet managing director Bob Darke said: "We are encouraged by today's announcement and, with shareholder approval, absolutely committed to a smooth handover. "For our customers and our people, it is business as usual and we are 100% focused on delivering a successful peak trading period
and great business performance into 2012 and beyond." The retail giant had already announced plans to shut one of Comet's three warehouses, axe 12 of its 14 regional service centres and close nine underperforming stores as part of a cost-cutting drive. But a spokesman for OpCapita said there are no plans to make any further store closures beyond those already announced by Kesa. Earlier this week, the US electrical retailer Best Buy announced it is pulling out of the UK and closing its 11 retail outlets her, putting 1,100 jobs at risk.
Turkey quake
At least ten people have been killed in an earthquake in Turkey less than three weeks after a large tremor killed more than 600 in the same area.
The quake, in the eastern province of Van, has reportedly brought down 25 buildings that were damaged in last month's incident, including a six-storey hotel, another hotel and an office building. Some 100 people are said to be trapped under rubble, among them aid workers and journalists still in the area after the previous quake. Rescue workers have pulled more than 20 survivors from three of the buildings that collapsed. The tremor struck at around 9.23pm local time (7.23pm GMT) on Wednesday at a depth of around three miles (4.8km). The epicentre was in the Edremit district, some nine
miles (15km) from Van province. Panicked people could be seen running through the streets as rescue workers searched through the rubble for anyone trapped. Rescuers were also being sent from the capital Ankara, and five planes were due to fly to the region carrying search and rescue teams. Around 1,400 aftershocks have been felt throughout the region since the 7.2 earthquake hit the province on October 23. At least 2,000 buildings
were destroyed in that quake, and 3,700 were left unfit for habitation. Many residents had been living in tents, too afraid to return to their homes. Experts said a moderate quake of 5.6 magnitude would not cause any human or material loss under normal circumstances. But the extent of the current quake could grow because of the fact that the buildings which were damaged in the previous quake were not entirely emptied.

Call of Duty game to break records
Police Inspector has been sacked after drugs boast A senior Scotland Yard officer has been sacked over claims he boasted of taking drugs on a dating website.
The 46-year-old chief inspector was also said to have trawled the internet looking for women who wanted sex with a man in a uniform. The Independent Police Complaints Commission said the central London-based officer was fired after a two day misconduct hearing. "The breaches relate to
Page 14
claims made to members of the public on an interactive dating website that he was a serving police officer and that he had committed criminal offences including drugtaking and a sexual offence," the IPCC said. "He was also found to have used his position as a uniformed police officer to have advertised himself online in an attempt to meet sexual partners while in uniform," the statement continued.
An earlier investigation by Kent Police had found that there was insufficient evidence to pursue any criminal allegations. IPCC Commissioner, Mike Franklin, said: "Police officers, by virtue of the powers vested in them, hold positions of authority and trust in our communities. "Those who discredit their role cannot expect to continue to serve the public, and, as in this case, they should be dismissed."
HUNDREDS of enthusiasts lined London's Oxford Street for the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the latest instalment of the military video game series which hit stores this week.
Video games are more popular than ever and slowly but surely the industry has become the pre-eminent form of entertainment, outstripping Hollywood movie releases. Rhi Morgan, multi-media journalist for T3 Magazine, said: "You've got more and more games now and so many different consoles, more and more people are getting into gaming. "For ÂŁ40 you wouldn't get a night out in London but you can play on the games for days. People are looking at the video games as a real form of entertainment. "The graphics are so much better and there's multiplayer too. People are really getting into their games and investing a lot of time in them." Modern Warfare 2 broke records two years
ago, becoming the highest-earning entertainment launch ever. Last year's release, titled Black Ops, sold more than 20 million copies - raking in more than ÂŁ600m in six weeks, compared to the best-selling music album of 2010, which made around ÂŁ137m. It also made more than Pixar's Toy Story 3 - the number one box office hit in the same year. Andrew Kennedy had been queuing since Sunday for Modern Warfare 3. He said: "I really think it's an addiction. People don't understand because they're not gamers but I really think that. It's a great game and it keeps you hooked for a long time. Fellow gamer Jamie Chalk said "People socialise on games. It's not just something you do to pass the time. People meet up on games. It replaces a phone call." The game has been awarded an 18 certificate due to its graphic violence and realworld settings. A spokesman for the retailer Game said the title had attracted 15% more pre-orders than the previous record holder.

More jobs for Midlands JAGUAR Land Rover is to create 1,000 new jobs at its Solihull factory in the West Midlands, the company has announced.
The recruitment campaign comes just months after the car giant confirmed plans to build a new engine production plant near Wolverhampton, bringing up to 750 jobs to the Midlands. The company has already hired an additional 3,000 workers this year and is considering a new production facility in India. JLR human resources director Des Thurlby said they are expecting to
receive "many thousands of applications" for the new posts. "This is great news for Solihull," he said. "We shall be increasing the plant workforce by more than 25%." "We have a loyal and committed workforce at Solihull. These jobs are well-paid with great benefits. We provide high-quality training and development for all our employees." The jobs up for grabs are mostly for production operators and skilled trades people. Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "This is a positive story of growth for the plant that was once under threat of closure.
"It is now expanding and has ambitious product plans." In 2008, Jaguar Land Rover was a company warning of a "national emergency" with sales plummeting at the height of the financial crisis and more than 17,000 staff fearing for their jobs. Indian-based Tata Motors soon after bought out JLR from Ford - and in two years has transformed its fortunes. The company is thriving, thanks to demand for its products within emerging markets such as Russia, India and China. It reported pre-tax profits of ÂŁ1.1bn in its last year, up from just ÂŁ14.6m in the previous 12 months.
UK Border Control at breaking point A whistleblower who works at Heathrow Airport has told Sky News the border control system is at breaking point.
The immigration officer said it is "frightening" how many people slip through the net and exposed a culture of deceit where employees are bussed in when politicians visit to give the impression of more staff. He told Sky News he feels security has been "compromised" because of pressure over queues. The whistleblower, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "We've operated a light touch over the summer for the past couple of years. "It was never meant as an intelligence-led way of improving security. It's all about the queues." Home Secretary Theresa May is fighting for her political reputation after it emerged that checks on people entering the UK were secretly relaxed over the summer. She has blamed the former head of the UK border force Brodie Clark for acting without ministerial approval. Mrs May approved relaxing certain
checks on passengers within the EU but accused Mr Clark of going much further. The Government's pilot aims to deploy resources more effectively by using intelligence-led risk assessments. But the Terminal 3 worker strongly disputes any suggestion that the looser checks he has witnessed are a better use of resources. He said: "It's just a way of trying to get people through passport control quickly. It only saves 30 seconds per person but that adds up to a lot. "We would only use light-touch checks when there were big queues - from around 2.30pm onwards over the summer months. "For instance, if there was a big flight arriving from Pakistan. "It makes us very angry because that's the very time when we should be taking time and asking questions. "But the truth is there's not enough staff. We can't cope with the number of people. "There's only five or six of us and we have the worst of the queues at Terminal 3."
11 November - 17 November 2011
The whistleblower does not believe Mrs May was aware of what happened or that she ordered the relaxing of the controls. He said: "I think Theresa May has been misled by Brodie Clark. He never implemented what she thought. But he may not have been aware of what was happening on the frontline either." But he also has concerns over aspects of the pilot ordered by Mrs May, in particular the flexibility over relaxing checks on children. He said: "Operating a light touch with children is serious. It's very dangerous. "If there's a family with four children in tow coming off a long-haul flight, one of those children could have easily been slipped in with that family." In a statement, a UKBA spokesman said these issues would be looked into. "Keeping our borders secure is this government's priority. Any allegations that checks were loosened without the knowledge of ministers
Google has used a pedalpowered tricycle to start photographing the vast Amazon rainforest as part of its global Street View facility. As a result internet users around the world will only be clicks away from travelling through rivers and remote inhabited areas of Brazil. The project used a white tricycle equipped with panoramic 3D cameras and a boat to take snapshots of a small stretch of the world's biggest tropical forest. Although the pictures will only show a small slice of the gigantic forest, members of the Sustainable Amazon Foundation (FAS) which helped Google carry out the project, hope it will help spread environmental awareness. Google spokesman Emmanuel Evita said the local communities were receptive towards their photo team. "Entering these communities we spent a lot of time talking to the people in the communities and making sure that these communities understood what we were doing and agreed with what we were doing. "I think that in those areas a lot of them feel that even in Brazil, even in
will be subject to an independent investigation to be carried out by the Independent Chief Inspector John Vine," he added. A spokesman for Heathrow said: "The responsibility for border control rests solely with UKBA. "Long queues at immigration give travellers a poor impression of the UK and cause frustration. "Ministers must ensure UKBA has the resources to keep both our borders secure and waiting times to a minimum."
the nearer cities, there is not a lot of knowledge about the fact that they exist there and that they live there. "So they are seeing a lot of the attention that they are receiving as an opportunity to show that they have a local culture and they have many things they can share with potential visitors and tourists." Google left their image-capturing gear behind and have trained some local residents to take photos themselves. He said Google understood that the best people to show their forest were the people who lived there. The head of FAS in Brazil, Virgilio Vianna, said the foundation decided to support the project because they believe more knowledge of the forest will help save it. "This is the purpose of this project, this partnership with Google, to allow people to get to know a little more about the forest, the rivers, the communities without leaving their home. "And who knows, upon this first look at the Amazon they might become interested in getting involved in some way, maybe by visiting or joining projects and other positive initiatives."
Labour have also reacted to the story, with a source saying the party has warned for some time about the pace and scale of cuts to border staff and the implications for security. "The news over the last few days and these reports from right across the country are now confirming that," they said. "The Home Secretary needs to get a grip and put security first like and competent Home Secretary would," the source added.

If a dog is not kept in a kennel or is not wearing a seat belt during a car journey, damages can be very serious - to the dog, or the driver or both. So please remember: *Place a cover on the back seat to protect it from drooling, vomiting or any other messes that could occur. *Place your dog in the travel kennel. *Use either a dog car-seat or a dog seat-belt. Install the seat or the belt in the back seat of the car, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. *If your dog is in a kennel, thread the seat-belt through the handle of the
kennel and latch it to the other side of the belt. *If using a seat, put a harness on your dog and secure it to the car-seat with the straps in the seat. *If you use a seat-belt, place a harness on your dog and attach the belt to the harness. *No matter what method is used to

Email: capecan@canarianweekly.com IN recent months I have promoted the ZEC initiative through this column, delivering accurate, up-to-date information about this powerful, attractive and credible incentive. My articles have been met with some confused, mis-informed or contradictory responses. For this reason, I decided to interview Sabita Jagtani, a Senior Officer from the ZEC, Canarian Government to ensure that business owners, new-start businesses, and international companies, all looking to invest in the Canaries, don’t have to endure misinformation, which often results in missed opportunities and losses of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of euros. Can you start by explaining what the ZEC is, and why it was created? ZEC is a low-tax scheme, created within the framework of the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF), which was created for the purpose of promoting the economic and social development of the islands, and diversifying their productive structure. This fiscal instrument was authorised by the European Commission in January 2000. I understand that not every type of business is likely to be accepted into the ZEC, so can you give our readers an idea of the main types of business which do fit your vision for the ZEC? Actually, the activities allowed for those entities wishing to carry out industrial,
Page 20
trading or service activities in the Canarian territory is quite ample, and it is indexed in a list. Maybe it is easier to list those activities which are not allowed under this scheme, such as financial services (banking), hotel industry, building and real estate trade, retail trade, sanitary and medical care, agriculture and recruitment. What I suggest is that if people are willing to start a business within the Canary Islands and want to create a ZEC entity, they can ask the Consortium, through Capecan Consultants, if they wish. What are the main qualifying criteria to which an entity has to comply with to be accepted as a ZEC company? The requirements to fulfil in order to comply as a ZEC entity are those listed under article 31 of law 19/1994, of 6th July, amending the economic and fiscal regime of the Canary Islands. *The entity must be newly-created and have its registered office within the geographical area of the ZEC. *At least one of the administrators must be resident in the Canary Islands. *A minimum investment of 100,000 euros must be made in the case of Tenerife or Gran Canaria, or 50,000 euros in the case of Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Gomera, El Hierro or La Palma, in fixed assets related to the business activity within the first two years following registration.
*A minimum of five or three jobs must be created, depending on whether the location is one of the capital islands or an outlying island, in the first six months following registration, and this average must be maintained during the time the entity remains within the ZEC. *The corporate purpose must consist of an undertaking, within the area of the ZEC, one of the authorised activities. Do the staff employed have to be Spanish citizens? Also, can part-time workers and commission-only sales staff count toward this requirement? The staff employed can hold any citizenship, as long as they are working for the company within the Canary Islands. The staff head-count is taken as an average, and so the entity can create five full-time posts or 10 part-time posts, or 10 full-time posts for six months only, provided the average annual staff head-count amounts to the minimum job post (five or three). What benefits can a ZEC company expect to enjoy? * Reduced corporate income tax at a rate of 4%, instead of the general tax rate of 30% in force for Spain * Exemption in the Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty * Exemption on the Canary Islands General Indirect Tax (IGIC) corresponding to VAT
for importing of goods and for operations within ZEC entities * Exemptions on withholding tax according to the Double Taxation Agreement, European Union Parent Subsidiary Directive and Non-Resident Income Tax I speak with many international business owners who, initially, think the incentive is too good to be true. What would your advice be to these directors in order to re-assure them that they are looking at a truly great opportunity? First of all, this tax-rebate instrument is managed by the ZEC Consortium, which is a body set up jointly by the National Government of Spain and the Government of the Canary Islands, attached to the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Finance. The ZEC Consortium is responsible for monitoring and advising ZEC Companies, and it has also been given the duty of promoting and providing the necessary counselling for the proper functioning of the ZEC, as well as maintaining the Official ZEC Register. We have to mention, too, that ZEC was authorised by the European Commission in January 2000, and so it is a juridical safe zone. Actually the exemptions of this instrument will not work on a tax haven territory. Moreover, to date there are more than 800 authorised ZEC entities, and almost half of them are carrying out activities and supplying goods and services
all over the world. As an example we can name Atos Consulting, Islas Airways and EWaste Canarias. What would your advice be to any local business owners seriously considering the ZEC but who can not get the correct information from their current sources? They can enter our web www.zec.org Or ask us directly by e-mail at sjagtani@ zec.org By phone at 0034 922 298 010, By fax at 0034 922 278 063. Or at our office: Avenida Marítima nº 3, 5ª planta Edificio MAPFRE 38003 S/C de Tenerife. For anyone interested in learning more about the ZEC and other fantastic incentives exclusive to the Canary Islands, there will be a Government-supported event on 2nd December. “Project December” will be an annual incentive, giving people with great business ideas, and young companies established within the last 18 months, the opportunity to be selected for a scholarship, courtesy of the Capecan Group. The Capecan Group will also provide a place to work from, business services and support, marketing and connections, along with business coaching by an accredited business coach.

I'M A CELEBRITY...GET ME OUT OF HERE! ITV1, Sunday 13th November 9:00pm I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is back which can mean only one thing… the time has come for a brand new cast of celebrities to head down under and battle it out in TV’s toughest challenge.
Leaving their plush pads and luxuries far behind, our celebrity campers will spend up to 3 weeks taking on the harsh surroundings of the Australian jungle, with a whole host of brand new nasty surprises created just for them.
11 November - 17 November 2011
This year, the I’m a Celebrity team have pulled out all the stops to ensure this is the most talked about series yet. Last year’s highlights included Gillian McKeith’s antics during her Bushtucker Trails, Nigel Havers
walking out of camp and Stacey Solomon being crowned Queen of the Jungle... but who will be begging for our votes this year? Whoever does end up in the terrifying and legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off
from the outside world and praying the public doesn’t send them straight into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial. It’s a brand new cast with a brand new set of challenges.

CHRISTMAS and the New Year looms, which is good news for insomniacs - only three more sleeps! The battle of the soaps will follow the annual festive trend. That’s when everybody’s in party mode, they’ll try to throw a black shroud over the whole proceedings with the usual character cull and a large helping of doom and gloom. Eastenders takes the lead, with Pat Butcher (Pam St Clement) shuffling off the mortal coil on New Year’s Eve, I don’t want to say too much, heart attack … oops! All those years carrying the weight of those earrings finally takes its toll, and the Butcher ticker gives up. On the bright side she’ll get to see Frank again. The other soaps are keeping things a little closer to the chest, but you can be sure they’ll be polishing the mortuary slabs in anticipation. Next year will see Coronation Street … The Musical embark on a nationwide tour, in arenas around the country from spring. Who thought that one up? Can’t imagine it myself - whatever next, Spooks … The Pantomime?, The bad guy could be played by Johnny Robinson, which would lend a whole new meaning to “He’s behind you”. Also coming in the new year, the BBC are to show yet ANOTHER X Factor-style singing contest called The Voice, Guess whose tipped to be a judge? Mark Owen from Take That. Original! I hope he has more personality than Gary. Word is that Take That’s lead singer was set to make a TV interview this week, so they just put a can of paint there instead and watched it dry. If you’re reading this on holiday, the Christmas Machine will be in full flow when you get back. Even though it’s only early November, every shop you walk into will be playing Slade and Shakin’ Stevens (George Michael was caught doing that). The Christmas compilation albums will be out, with
Page 22
the same 20 songs as the year before - notice, there aren’t any new ones! Everyone will be clambering around Toys R Us for that chosen toy. For my five-year-old son, I’m hoping Buzz Lightyear comes back in. I bought two by mistake in 2009 and I know this time he won’t swallow what I bought him last year - an empty box. I told him it was an Action Man Deserter. Food shopping? I’m not bothering this year because I’ve got a Farepack Hamper coming. I have a tried-and-trusted method of gift shopping. Christmas Eve, I call in the local Looky Man and the Chinese girl and get the lot. Under the tree will be sunglasses, gold chains, an umbrella hat and a Bolex watch. For the kids, a squeaky rat, a yoyo and a spinning light ball that sings in Japanese. Job Done, although last year the Missus complained that she looked like a rapper. Who wasn’t angry at Sunday night’s vote-off on the X Factor? At last, well done to Louis for telling Frankie he couldn’t sing and would never be a rock star, because he knows what he’s talking about! He’s right, because Frankie can’t sing and, on top of that OFCOM, the TV regulator, is currently investigating complaints about him shouting out the ‘F’ word when he got through last week. And the fact that the programme filmed him drinking in nightclubs and, thus, setting a bad example. I wrote that last week - catch up! All the lads are saying, “Go on Frankie son”, but you wouldn’t be if it were your daughter he was chatting up. It would be: “Come here, you scruffy…” Actually, X Factor chiefs through Simon Cowell - did come to their senses on Tuesday and dumped him for boasting that he’d taken cocaine. But if Gary really thinks he’s up to scratch, he should invite him out with Take That following the de-
parture of Robbie again? He could be the next big thing, like Betamax video and Eastenders, the Musical. Janet Devlin, what’s the story there? She looks as if she’s ready to kick off at any moment, after forgetting the words on Saturday. Normally, that would have meant the end, but it looks like the public felt sorry for her, which is nonsense. If you were running a race and failed to qualify, you wouldn’t get voted through because you looked sad at not being good enough. That’s essentially what’s wrong with the programme. You can be the best singer/dancer, but on your way off stage you could say something the public doesn’t like and bang - bottom two! Thank God for JLS rescuing Sunday’s programme. Good news on the music front, though, Cher Lloyd, a previous losing contestant, has released a new album. She was gutted at being voted out on the last series when the winner got a recording contract, um - and a new album. You may remember her: public and judges didn’t seem to like her, bit of an attitude, little personality. She should do well. What’s been happening locally? Half-term holidays came like the Grim Audience Reaper and decimated the normal 10 people who sit in front of me some nights. And the dulcet tones of “How much is a pint of lager”? drifted across the dusty bar top, littered with tangleweed like in an old western. It’s funny, though, when you read on Facebook how busy some bars have been, then see other posts from acts who have been there on the same night, at the same time, telling a different story. Makes you wonder if someone’s selling “magic audience sunglasses” to comperes, so be advised: if you walk past a half-empty bar and there’s a bloke onstage looking like Roy Orbison, he’s probably seeing three of you!

9:00 - 11:30 PM - Channel 4 Kristen Stewart stars in Catherine Hardwicke's adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series of romantic fantasy novels about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire. When her mother remarries, Bella Swan (Stewart) relocates to the state of Washington to live with her father Charlie (Billy Burke). There, in the small, perpetu-
ally wintry town of Forks, she starts her new life, though she has no inkling of quite how different it's going to be. At her new school she quickly establishes herself as both a bit of a klutz and a hunk magnet. However, she's not interested in most of the guys - apart from the moodily handsome, ashen complexioned Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).
And when he saves her from various threatening situations, their mutual attraction is sealed. There's just one tiny problem: he's a vampire. But although Edward and his undead family are 'vegetarians' who don't feed on humans, his breed find it very difficult to control their overwhelming desire for human blood when their emotions switch from love to lust...

GARROWS LAW
9:00 - 10:00 PM - BBC 1 William Garrow attempts to change British law forever in the opening episode of Garrow’s Law, written and co-created by Tony Marchant and based on a true story. Garrow returns to the Bailey risking his reputation to defend James Hadfield, who is on trial for High Treason for attempting to assassinate King George III. Garrow agrees to meet Had-
field at Newgate, but finds his defence perplexing. Hadfield is convinced that God has spoken to him. He insists that he did not want to kill the King, but rather wanted himself to be killed by an outraged patriotic crowd. Is he a madman or an assassin? Eighteenth century law does not permit a man to be mad sometimes. Convinced of Hadfield's insanity, Garrow risks a defence
which seeks to change the law. But in a country where the King himself seems completely lunatic sometimes, is it a defence which threatens the Establishment, or is it an assault on George III himself? Now living in an ‘irregular’ relationship with Lady Sarah Hill, Garrow finds himself ostracised and impoverished. He must deal with the competing demands of domestic happiness and professional integrity.

The series explores contemporary issues, as characters reach a turning point in their lives and then move on. New mum Caroline is struggling to cope on her own with a baby while her husband Tom serves in Afghanistan. It's Tom's first tour, the baby's had colic and Caroline is
struggling to fit in to life on the barracks. Fellow army wife Maggie tries to help Caroline, and when rats are discovered in Caroline's house, Maggie puts her in touch with rat catcher Sam. During his visits to sort the rat problem, he sees how hard things are for Caroline and unwittingly starts to take the place of Tom in the household – at the dinner table, with the baby, doing odd jobs about the house. Maggie becomes suspicious

of the change in Caroline and gossip starts to spread. Caroline's protests of innocence are scoffed at, but she goes to tell Sam they can't be friends any more – to find that he's been beaten up as a warning. Caroline's heart goes out to him and they end up in bed. They're interrupted by a phone call to say someone in the battalion has died. Caroline's stricken with guilt and waits in torment for news.

PAN AM - 9:00 - 10:30 PM - BBC 2 It’s 1963 and the Jet Age is dawning as Pan American Worldwide Airlines unveils its Boeing 707 Clipper Majestic, captained by the cocky and charismatic Dean Lowery. However, when Dean’s choice for lead stewardess, Bridget Pierce, mysteriously disappears on the heels of his marriage proposal, a frantic search for a replacement produces Maggie Ryan, a rebellious bohemian who is continually running afoul of the airline’s rigid dress code. Joining Dean and Maggie are Kate Cameron, an adventuresome 24 year old; her younger sister Laura who has become a celebrity after her picture landed on the cover of Life when
she ran out on her wedding and joined Pan Am; and the young French beauty Colette Valois. On the eve of the Majestic’s inaugural flight, a US intelligence operative who recruited her in Rome several months ago, asks Kate to replace the passport of a Russian passenger with one that’s expired. As the flight is getting underway, Colette is surprised when John Stanton, a passenger with whom she’s having an affair, boards with his wife and young son in tow. With his co-pilot Ted Vanderway and their navigator Sanjeev, Dean takes the Majestic into the skies towards London. And as Kate looks for an opportunity to switch Sabel’s passport, she must also keep
the amorous cockpit crew, and especially Ted, away from her naïve and inexperienced younger sister. Upon landing, John’s wife Evelyn makes it clear that she knows about Colette’s affair with her husband and warns her to steer clear. And as Dean is puzzled to find that Bridget’s London apartment has been mysteriously vacated, Kate learns that Sabel is actually Roger Anderson, a British MI6 agent who posed as the Russian passenger in order to test her in advance of a real assignment. Finally, as Kate learns that it was Bridget who was responsible for recruiting her, she prepares for a future of working alongside her younger sister while taking on a series of covert courier assignments from the CIA.

9:00 - 10:00pm - Channel 4 The sad but true story of Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon, nieces to the Queen Mother and first cousins to the Queen. Two girls who were born with learning difficulties and, as a result, spent most of their lives in an institution, hidden away from the public gaze at a time when attitudes towards the learning disabled were very different to now. Two of four daughters of John Bowes-Lyon (the Queen Mother's older brother), Nerissa and Katherine were born
Page 34
in 1919 and 1926; Katherine is only three months younger than her cousin Elizabeth, the girl who would one day be crowned Queen. From the ages of 15 and 22, respectively, they were sent to live at the Royal Earlswood Hospital, an institution for the learning disabled in Surrey, which was built in 1855 as an 'Asylum for Idiots'. While their two other sisters enjoyed lives of privilege and inclusion in the social world of the aristocracy and the royal family, Katherine and
Nerissa were all but forgotten. The two sisters seemed to be aware of their royal connections; when royal events were shown on television, they would curtsy to the screen. In 1963, Burke's Peerage, the guidebook to aristocratic lineage, recorded the sisters as having died in 1940 and 1961. Nerissa actually died in 1986, and Katherine was moved into a home in the community when the Royal Earlswood was closed down in 1997.

What day is it? IS it just me, or does it seem that time is passing so quickly at the moment! This year has gone in a flash, and some days I have to ask myself what day it is!
Roscoe doesn’t help in the mornings by giving us his Oasis Fm countdown to Christmas, which is greeted with glee by the kids, and dismay by the parents. That apart, this year seems to be all over the place in many ways. Even the weather has been a bit odd, and we all know that the world financial crisis is wreaking havoc with all our lives. But aside from that, 2011 also seems to be strange from a business point of view. This time of year for me is, traditionally, when we do a lot of work for the winter visitors or swallows. Many of them have owned their apartments for years,
and we are able to reupholster sofas and respray furniture at a fraction of the cost of buying new. We also update curtains and throws and give a whole new look to a property for very little money. Well, we’ve seen quite a few of these types of people this month, particularly in Royal Palm and Port Royale. But we have also had some people who have bought pre-owned apartments, and we have done several of our economic furniture packs for rental properties. Because these packs start at 2,500 euros for the whole property to be equipped and ready to let out, they are popular at all times of year. Does this mean that the property market is picking up? I have no idea, but I hope so for all of us involved in that type of work, or related businesses.
One of our strongest sellers also at this time of year, are our sofa beds. Perhaps it’s because people suddenly think about all the visitors they are likely to have over the Christmas period, and where they will be sleeping! Sofa beds have improved a lot over the years and bear no relation to those horrible pine things with foam mattresses. Nowadays, we even offer sofas with latex and visco-elastic mattresses and they are as comfortable as beds. The size of the sofa beds can also be adapted, and for minor changes there is no extra cost. Since they take about two weeks to make, we are still well in time for those Christmas visitors! So, we have had a real variety of clients so far this month - and long may it continue. Even if it means that I don’t even know what day it is!
One million children aged 7-12 are on Facebook 'every day' While social networking sites have, for many, become an integral part of our daily lives - it appears that it is not only adults using them to keep up with the latest trends.
Indeed, in a new report looking at British children in 2011, Mintel finds that half of all children aged 7-12 visit social networking websites - and nearly half (49% or an estimated 0.97 million) of those who do, go on Facebook ‘every day’. Furthermore, an extra 46% of children who are social-networkers use it ‘some days'- leaving just 5% who claim to ‘never’ use it. Everyday usage on Facebook is most common with girls aged 10-12 (54%), whilst boys are more likely to be less frequent users as less than half (47%) visit the site with the same frequency. The next most popular social networks are Twitter and Club Penguin, however the frequency of visits is much lower with only 9% of children who use social networks visiting every day. And it seems peer pressure is a key motivating force for using a particular social network; nearly two thirds (63%) of 7-12-year-olds using social networks, belong to a network because their friends do, with older children (67%) and in particular girls aged 10-12 (71%) the most likely to follow the crowd. Even though most of the social networking activities are done on the computer (54%), a significant minority of children (11%) are using their mobile phones to do most of their social networking, with boys aged 7-9 being the most likely to do so (15%) and girls aged 10-12 following closely (13%). Ina Mitskavets, Senior Lifestyles Analyst at Mintel, said: “Being the digital natives, today’s children are well versed in all aspects of technology and the internet, with almost a million of children aged 7-12 use Facebook on a daily basis, highlighting just how popular the site has become amongst children. Perhaps, joining Facebook is viewed as a rite of passage into secondary school and an absolute must-have for entering the social scene and maintaining social circles. Friends’ acceptance is an important factor driving social network adoption, but peer influence is also essential in new product discovery, especially for games, electronic gadgets, music and films.”
The report also highlights changing trends in children's pocket money - and how they spend it. Today, the average weekly amount of pocket money stands at £6.47 and the top five things children aged 7-12 buy with their pocket money are as follows: Boys: 1. Food (£12.8 million monthly), 2. Games / Video Games (£12.3 million monthly), 3. Put aside for savings (£10.7 million monthly), 4. Magazines and Comics (£6.5 million monthly), 5. Going Out (£3.7 million monthly). Meanwhile for girls the top five are: 1. Food (£11.4 million), 2. Put aside for savings (£9.7 million), 3. Magazines and Comics (£7.3 million monthly), 4. Appearance (£6.5 million monthly), 5. Games (£3.9 million monthly). Although less significant, expenditure on mobile phones and going out is driven by the older girls (aged 10-12), who are spending nearly three and four times more respectively on these categories, relative to their younger counterparts aged 7-9. Indeed, girls’ desire for communicating is apparent; 59% of children placing their mobile phone as their most prized possession are girls compared to 41% who are boys. Likewise, key adopters of mobile phones are the older children aged 10-12; over three quarters (78%) of those who agree that their mobile phone is their most prized possession are between 10 and 12 years compared to just over a fifth (22%) of 7-9 year-olds. Today, nearly a quarter (24%) of children aged 7-12 use a smartphone to access the internet - particularly significant when you consider just 41% of British
adults who use their smartphone to go online. The majority of children display a fairly relaxed attitude towards their mobile phones with little importance or urgency shown when receiving a text message at dinner table when asked by Mintel. However, behavioural changes occur amongst the different age groups; receiving a text becomes much more important to 10-12 year-olds. Nearly a fifth (17%) state that they would immediately check a text message compared to nearly six in ten (58%) 7-9-year-olds who would continue eating dinner. With nearly a third (31%) of 10-12-year-olds accessing the internet on their smartphones and nearly four in ten (37%) in this age group who can’t live without their mobile phone on the weekends, the growing importance of the mobile channel cannot be overstated. And it appears ‘Kidfluencing’ is gaining in popularity for today’s children. Indeed, pester power does work for the majority of children; over six in ten (61%) display a certain degree of influence in getting their parents to buy them the things that they want. Younger boys report more difficulties in persuading their parents to cave into their demands (over four in ten (43%) say it’s hard or very hard to convince their parents to buy them things they want), compared with girls of the same age (over a third (36%) say the same), while the situation is reversed for the older age group, with girls aged 10-12 finding it harder to persuade their parents versus boys of the same age (42% and 35% respectively).

Symbolic poppies are such a colourful sight POPPIES are worn throughout the world each year during November, and especially on the 11th (today, Friday). They commemorate the cessation of war between the Allies and Germany in 1918 - and various ceremonies are held on the nearest Sunday, known as Remembrance Sunday. There is nothing prettier than a field of poppies, and they have become one of the most popular flowers in the gardening world. And no wonder because they are so striking. There are annuals and perennials in a wide range of bright, attractive colours, yet they were once known as the “common cornfield weed”. But this beautiful flower is no weed. Poppies were originally found in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, China, India, and other regions of Asia. Indeed, in many areas, it is a common wild flower. Poppy plants grow from between 1-2ft and these
long-lasting flowers include just about all the colours of the rainbow. They actually look fabulous in flowerbeds, and positively dazzle in window boxes, or in containers on your patio or balcony. Poppy seeds are also a favourite with some birds. Poppy seeds and oil are common in the kitchen as well, most notably used in recipes for breads and cakes. Oh yes, poppies are also a narcotic, and are used to make Codeine, Morphine, and Opium. But they are obviously seen at their best when displayed as beautiful flowers. They are grown from seed and can be sown directly into the garden or started indoors. And here in Tenerife they will flourish anywhere because of the ideal weather conditions, especially in the shade and certainly during the cooler weather we will be experiencing in the next few months. The plants grow in most soils, but they prefer it well-drained and slightly dry.
In average soils, mix in compost prior to sowing. They grow quickly, and will bloom rapidly as well. And they are so easy to sow - simply empty the seeds into your hand and scatter liberally. Then, for best results, add a generalpurpose fertiliser once a month and water during extended dry periods only, which means often over here. Deadhead flowers to promote new blooms, unless you plan on harvesting the seeds, by allowing the flower to die and dry. Snip off seed pods and lay them out on a flat surface to completely dry. Separate the seeds from the seed pod, and store for later use. What’s so good about sowing poppies is that they can take the cold or the warmth in equal doses, but they grow fast and furious once they’ve take root, so you’ll need to control the spread. However the numbers, there is nothing more glorious than a field, flower bed or even a container laden with poppies.
Garden of Remembrance now open in the Rhondda RHONDDA Heritage Park, in the valleys near Pontypridd, this week opened a Garden of Remembrance for those who have died in armed conflict since World War I.
It is sure to become a major tourist attraction, and visitors will be able to leave their own personal tributes at the South Wales garden. The Heritage Park is also hosting a war painting exhibition, featuring The Abandoned Soldier statue, which is a huge sculpture. This is already raising awareness of the problems encountered by troops returning from combat zones. It was modelled on the face of an injured soldier and has already been on display at Cardiff Castle, Staffordshire and Exeter Castle. Lt Col Gareth Pennell, president of The Royal British Legion in Pontypridd, said it was important to remember
all of those who had died in every conflict. “There’s only one year, 1968, in which the British Army has not lost anybody in conflict, so it’s continuous,” he added. “We need to continue remembering because, obviously, war isn’t something that was just the past - it’s still happening now. “When you look at the number of British soldiers who have died in Afghanistan (nearly 400), it’s very important to remember it. “The generation coming back from Afghanistan have another 50 years of life or more in front of them, so they will continue the remembrance, and so will the generations that follow.” A service was held at the Heritage Park on Monday to mark the opening of this special Garden, where there is also an exhibition of semiabstract paintings by the artist Patricia Mears.

Laura Harrison, 31, toured the exhibition with her husband Matthew, who served in Iraq in the Territorial Army in 2003. ”We need to continue re-
membering because, obviously, war isn't something that was in the past,” she said. “It’s still happening now, and we need to carry on remembering for the people who died this year, as well as 90 years ago.” Proceeds from the exhibition will go to the Help for Heroes charity and the Royal British Legion

carl pattison from Robot, answers your hair questions
Be a shade braver! WE are now in our so called Tenerife winter, which means less sunshine, less heat and less time in the pool.
The new winter clothes are coming out and Christmas is on its way, so it’s time to vibe up your hair with a new colour as the party season is just around the corner. No, I’m not trying to get everyone to go shocking red or fluorescent orange. I’m just talking about taking a new look at this season’s colours and see if you can spice up your old colour. It’s not just about what shade, either, but about colour placement. In other words, where exactly to put that extra tone or colour because it all has to tie in with the cut, complementing it and setting off the style. A new colour must take into account your skin tone, too. If you’re pale in the face, avoid reddish tones as this will make you look even pastier. Instead, try for cooler tones - and even coppers look good as well. If you are tanned, or have a darker skin tone, then violets and reds will work great for you. But avoid the orange spectrum as this will make your skin look dowdy and sallow. There’s nothing more likely to complement this season’s smoother ‘bowl’ and ‘bob’ cuts than a two-tone colour. That means two complementary colours used to show off a particular section of a haircut. For example, the underlying area of a fringe looks great when given a
Page 40
darker tone than the rest of the hair colour. It brings out the eyes and adds a new dimension to the cut. One solid block colour with a section “sliced” out and given a vibrant tone looks so effective, and yet it’s so simple to do. Don’t forget that if you’re not brave enough to try these new colours, we can “add” them with the help of a few hair extensions. These will blend with your own hair, and they will give you the colour you want without the commitment of a permanent colour. Great for the party season! When choosing a colour with your stylist, do check that it is not only going to
suit you but your clothes as well. After all, there’s no point adding a dash of red to your sleek bob if you are always wearing beige and neutrals. It has to match you and your personality .Yes, sometimes “clashing” looks good, but it depends on the person, her personal style and, of course, her total image, too. One final word: don’t go running to your stylist screaming for something you’ve just seen on Jesse Jay! Book your consultation first, then your appointment AFTER you’ve taken into consideration all the pros and cons. Have fun and experiment, but NOT at home!
Keep taking the pills, regardless! PEOPLE are risking their health by coming off long-term medicines to give their body a “detox”.
A poll of 1,000 people found that one in five felt it was okay to stop medicines for a longterm condition such as diabetes or asthma occasionally to cleanse his or her body. Almost one in three people surveyed thought it was fine to take over-the-counter medicines which had recommended specifically for someone else by a pharmacist The poll, for the National Pharmacy Association (NPA), also found people believed it was safe to give adult medication to children as long as the dosage was reduced. A quarter believed incorrectly that aspirin was just a weaker version of Ibuprofen. Half of people questioned wrongly believed the flu vaccine could cause flu, 10% said they never checked that their medicines were still in date. Yet it is a well-known fact that drugs can become increasingly less effective once they pass their expiry date. The findings were released to coincide with the start of Ask Your Pharmacist Week, and Leyla Hannbeck, NPA head of information, said: “There is a lot of misunderstanding about how medicines work in your body. “It’s important to get the right treatment and the right advice - which you can get from your local pharmacy, often without an appointment.
“We are especially concerned that people with long-term conditions may feel it is right to ‘detox’ from time to time by taking a break from their prescribed medicines. “But for someone with, say, asthma, diabetes or depression, the result can be catastrophic.”
Gays get go-ahead to be donors GAY men will be able to become blood donors now following an official lifting of the Government restriction. A lifetime ban on blood being given by men who’d had sex with another man was instigated in the UK in the 1980s as a response to the spread of Aids and HIV. But, following a review by the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (Sabto), men who have not had homosexual sex within a year will be able to donate if they meet certain other criteria. The move will be implemented in England, Scotland and Wales, but men who have had sex with another man in the past 12 months, and have used a condom, will still not be eligible, says the Department of Health. Officials said this was to reduce the risk of infections being missed by testing and then being passed on to a patient. Sabto’s advisory panel, comprising leading experts and patient groups, carried out its review based on the latest available evidence and found it could no longer support the permanent exclusion of men who have had sex with men. They considered the risk of infection being transmitted in blood, attitudes of potential donors in complying with the selection criteria and improvements in testing of donated blood.
Dr Lorna Williamson, NHS Blood and Transplant’s medical and research director, said: “Our priority as a blood service is to provide a safe and sufficient supply of blood for patients. “This change gives us an opportunity to broaden our donor acceptance on the basis of the latest scientific evidence. “The Sabto review concluded that the safety of the blood supply would not be affected by the change, and we would like to reassure patients receiving transfusions that the blood supply is as safe as it reasonably can be
- and amongst the safest in the world. “There has been no documented transmission of a blood-borne virus in the UK since 2005, with no HIV transmission since 2002.” The change has been welcomed by the sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust. Chief Executive Sir Nick Partridge said: “We welcome this change, which is based on strong new evidence that all the experts are agreed on. “These regulations will ensure the safety of blood supply for all of us while also being fair and equal in their application.”

Cervical cancer spread sparking new concerns CERVICAL cancer rates have risen sharply among women in their 20s, according to new figures.
The numbers of those affected across England rose by 43% between 1992-94 and 2006-08. Women in England are invited for cervical screening every three years from the age of 25,
while those in the rest of the UK are screened from the age of 20. The screening age in England was raised from 20 to 25 in 2003, but the Department of Health says lowering the age again could cause too many false “positive” results, leading to unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment for women.

Cancer Research UK experts, who, analysed the data, said changing the screening age was not responsible for driving up the cancer rates. The figures showed that the rates among women in their 20s have continued to rise, despite an overall drop of about a third. In 1992-1994, some six women aged 20-29 in every 100,000 (about 215 per year) were diagnosed with cervical cancer. This increased to around
eight per 100,000 between 2006 and 2008 (around 283 cases per year). Individual figures for 2007/08 suggest the problem could be getting worse, with nine women in every 100,000 developing cervical cancer in that year. In comparison, rates among women in the 50-79 age bracket have dropped significantly over the same period. Robert Music, director of Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, said: “The results of this research are a big concern as
we know that cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease, thanks to cervical screening. “But reminding younger women that they can take proactive steps to reduce their risk of cervical cancer by attending screening continues to be a real challenge. “Around 34% of women aged 25-29 didn't attend screening last year, while in Wales and Scotland, where they start screening at 20, almost half of those aged
20-24 did not take up their invitation.” He added: “It is essential we make every effort to find ways to educate and persuade younger women to attend screening when invited - and remind them that, quite simply, it could save their lives.” Television reality star Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age of 27, prompting some campaigners to call for the age to be lowered back to 20.

Wave of optimism!
Tourist industry is beginning to cruise along in style again TENERIFE has already welcomed around 1.5 million British tourists to the Island this year, which is close to matching the soaring 2005 numbers.
This was made clear by delighted Tenerife Tourism Minister Carlos Alonso during this week`s World Travel Market, staged at London’s ExCel Centre in Docklands, which finishes today (Friday). Tenerife has featured prolifically at this annual event, which is the leading exhibition for the travel industry and attracts representatives from all over the world. Alonso headed the Island’s delegation, which included Adeje Tourism Councillor Rafael Dolado and his Arona counterpart, Francisco José Niño, together with Arona Mayor Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron. Miguel Angel Santos, Director of Tenerife Tourism, and representatives from all the other tourist areas on the Island, together with companies associated with the Cabildo, were also among the party. The huge show offers a unique opportunity each year for the entire global tourism industry to meet, network, negotiate and conduct business. It also gives participants an opportunity to learn the latest trends, embracing efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. It is also considered by Tenerife Tourism to be the most important international tourist fair of all, simply because of the number of British tourists visiting the area.
Alonso’s uplifting figures, relayed to the WTM during an early briefing, represent a 12% increase in people from the UK, with cruise passengers and those taking advantage of allinclusive hotels contributing most. Visiting numbers to the Island made depressing reading for about three years before April 2010, but new figures have lifted the tourist sector hugely. British guests have made up 31% of 2011 visitors, and Tenerife accounts for 45% of all UK arrivals to the Canary Islands. Alonso also revealed that the average age of visitors was slowly falling - down to 49 now - mainly because of the growing number of younger couples. Bookings for Tenerife are mostly online, with 67% of flights secured on the web and 44% attributed to accommodation. And online research plays big part, with 82% of tourists making full use of the facility. It will certainly not please the general hotel industry, but the allinclusive sector is the real growth area, with figures up 27.8% on 2010. Cruise ships are also essential to the rise in tourism, with 312,000 passenger visits so far this year. The Tenerife delegation in London have been meeting agents and representatives from major airlines, with the intention of promoting still further this important growth market. Rafael Dolado said the improvement of summer tourism in the
South was 8.6% above the average, with the largest increase achieved by the hotel industry, especially in the four-star hotels in Costa Adeje (9.4% up), which have great commercial strength. He added that the rise in tourists booking non-hotel establishments - apartments, villas etc - amounted to 7.4%, which was also very positive. Dolado also said the total number of overnight stays over the same period last year had. gone up by 10%, while the seasonal average occupancy was around 80%. Finally, Dolado revealed that Adeje
Tourism growth forecasts continue to follow the same pattern of the first nine months of this year, which is around 20%. He said that Tenerife also had a keen social media policy, carefully monitoring everything on the web to keep an eye on trends, and respond wherever suitable to comments. Arona Tourism chief Francisco José Niño highlighted the importance of their attendance at the event, saying: “From our point of view, Tenerife is a unique place in the international tourism sector,
and this show represents a huge opportunity to make Arona known as a tourist destination.” Both Niño and his Arona companion, Mayor Gonzalez Reveron, were in agreement that “the promotional and tourist regeneration of public spaces are key to maintaining the competitiveness of Arona on the tourist market”. The Mayor added: “Tourism is our main industry and surely, the industry that allows us to recover from the economic crisis faster, and in better shape, than other communities.”
Just imagine, 50 O’Learys in only one airport! RYANAIR has officially opened its Manchester base with the help of 50 Michael O’Learys!
They were actually the Fit Teens/ Fit Kids dance group, featuring youngsters from just seven years of age, from Dublin, Kildare, Louth, Meath and West Meath, led by founder Jacinta Cassidy. The group surprised passengers and airport workers by breaking into a five-minute dance routine at the airport’s check-in desks, with all 50 kids wearing Michael O’Leary masks. That didn’t go down too well with some staff from rival airlines, and Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara, delighted with the company’s new 45th base, said: “We opened in great style, and the kids proved that while Ireland’s got talent, it also has a great sense of humour.
“The Michael O’Leary masks will have struck fear into other airlines, who will be running scared of the low fares on Ryanair’s 26 Manchester routes.” Ryanair will initially base two aircraft (growing to four by next summer) operating 17 routes, including those to Tenerife, Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante, Murcia, Ibiza, Malaga, Valencia and Palma (growing to 26 next summer). They will deliver up to two million passengers yearly and will create 2,000 jobs as Ryanair invests over £176 million at Manchester Airport. O’Leary said: “This will allow Manchester consumers and visitors to beat the recession and escape easyjet’s/ Jet2’s high fares by switching to Ryanair’s lowest fares and our no-fuel surcharge guarantee.”

Peugeot supermini really will set the pulses racing TAKE a look at this little beauty! The Peugeot 208 supermini looks set to make an even bigger impact than the French car-maker’s top-selling 207.
Despite Peugeot’s rich history in the small-car market, this is the company’s most radical reinvention of the supermini ever. It is smaller, lighter, cleaner and more stylish than the 207, bringing improvements in every possible way. Since the SR1 concept debuted at last year’s Geneva Show, Peugeot have set about pursuing a new design direction, improving quality and reintroducing that old sporty driving experience back into its products. And the clean-sheet approach to the 208 is the overall product. Although the three and five-door are based on the same mechanics, they have been designed from the outset as separate entities. In profile, the scallop taken from the side of the three-door begins at the tail-lights and curves down along the side of the car. But the five-door uses a less-dramatic feature line that runs along the sill and turns upwards behind the front wheel. Other differences include bars in the threedoor’s grille, while the five-door gets mesh, and a continuation of the chrome window trim into the C-pillar, which is a nod to the 205. Both cars get the floating grille treatment already seen on the 508, as well as foglamps set flush into the front bumper and boomerang rear lights, complete with claw-like graphics. Inside, it will also owe at least some of its design
Page 44
to that of the iPad. With functions to upload and store maps, music and more, the device could be offered as standard on all but entry-level models. The 208, smaller and lighter than the car it replaces, will almost certainly compete with the likes of the Ford Fiesta and upcoming Renault Clio. It goes on sale in the UK next summer and is expected to cost upwards of £10,000, depending on specification. Leading the charge will be the sporty three-door version pictured, which debuts alongside the fivedoor companion. Both models will offer a wide range of petrol and diesel engines - including an innovative three-cylinder turbo-charged petrol unit promising almost 70mpg. However, Peugeot`s star of the show is set to be a new 211bhp evolution of the 1.6-litre THP turbocharged engine, available in the RCZ. This machine, described as a spiritual successor to the famed 205 GTi, will be one of the fastest, most powerful, small Peugeots ever built when it goes on sale in 2013. Drivers can expect racestyle bucket seats, and a thick-rimmed steering wheel. The car will also get a large rear wing, and special trim on the sills and wheel arches to make it look a little meaner than the standard model. But despite this focus on performance, it will also sport the latest fuelsaving technologies, with stop-and-start and direct injection, plus variable valve timing and a potent turbo-charger. The power on offer will be just one part of the Peugeot jigsaw to make this car THE hot hatch everyone will want!
Saab back on the road! SAAB have been rescued from the brink by Chinese investors, and here’s an image of their new 9-3 car hoping to keep the Swedish firm’s fortune intact.
The image appeared on a Swedish website which claimed to have a copy of Saab’s business presentation to the European Investment Bank in January this year. In it were details of the future product line-up, which included the 9-4X SUV, the Golf-rivalling 9-1 and this image of the next-generation 9-3. The newcomer’s appearance seems to have been inspired by the PhoeniX concept, which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. It also borrows ideas from the larger 9-5, and that means boldly-defined wheel arches, turbine alloy-wheels and a coupe-like roofline. The biggest changes are at the rear, which gets a more curvaceous design with stylish, narrow tail-lights. The new 9-3 is expected to launch towards the end of next year and will come with a variety of petrol and diesel engines under the bonnet. And at least one - a 1.6-litre turbo petrol - will be sourced from BMW.

Horoscopes of the week SCORPIO
Weekly Quiz 30-Second Brain Training General Knowledge 01. What is derived from poppies?
(October 24th-November 22nd) The week ahead is virtually begging you to apply for promotion at work. What you want can be yours if you keep your charm to the fore. Family may not approve of everything you do, but you are now at a time when they will have no choice but to accept your choices, because they know you won’t change your mind. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) A family feud should be brought to a happy conclusion over the weekend. However, as you deal with the emotional torrent you’re experiencing from both sides, you feel confused and flustered. Try looking at the bigger picture. And it will soon become obvious what and who should become your priority TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) There’s an intense feel to your life right now, but just make sure you are not imagining the worst scenario. In fact, all you have to do is give a clear message of what you expect from those around you and, hopefully, they will respond accordingly so that life can again be sweet for everyone. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) You have been through a lot recently, but happily, the clouds are now and you finally have a chance to put the stress behind you. Better times are calling, but you are required to accept an immediate invite which you would normally shy away from. Come on, life is calling, so get on with it! CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) A new love interest is trying to attract your attention. Take notice of what’s being said to you. With
the Sun giving you the confidence, you need to pursue romantic paths – and you definitely won’t need help from friends. Sometimes, it can pay to make decisions and take actions on your own, and it is time for you to tap into your true potential and possibilities. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Most of your week seems taken up looking for someone you want to speak to. Look in places you’d go and not where he/she normally choose. Aspects indicate this person also has something to say to you. Family prove trying at times, but stand your ground if you know you need to say No to that favour they’re asking. VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) A secret you’d rather have kept hidden could be revealed soon, but don’t stress because it could be doing you a favour in the long run. However, you’re in a mischievous mood and just what you will do to satisfy it remains to be seen. Be careful of gossiping about an ex. You may want to remember the saying about people in glass houses. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Something you thought you wanted no longer seems to hold that great appeal now that it can be yours. Revelations which come your way on Tuesday tell you where and with whom your future lies. They will certainly tell you your destiny is linked with travel.
11 November - 17 November 2011
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st) Arguments turn to passion for many Sagittarians as you finally admit how you really feel. Use caution when talking about your plans for the future. There is a certain degree of privacy, which will need to be kept if you are to see things happen with the speed you desire. CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th) You’ll be doing all you can in the coming days to find out just what close ones are willing to commit to. Don’t ask for what you don’t want just to test them, or it will come back on you. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Travel is well starred and can help you make an all-important crossover in your career. Once you’ve make your mind up about something, it’s very hard for anyone to change it. This time, though, it’s worth you listening to the apology a loved one wants to make to you. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Listening and keeping your thoughts to yourself can reveal how a close one really feels about you. Try not to cut corners with your work. You may not realise it, but important faces are watching you, and you could end up undoing all of the good work you have put into your career.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable IT would be remiss of me to write this week’s column without mentioning our sadlydeparted friend, Marilyn Faulkner. This brave lady recently lost her long and painful battle with an illness that most of us are too familiar with. I am sure she will be very sadly missed by all of us, particularly her close friends at La Central. On behalf of the Oasis Fm Darts League, we offer our deepest sympathy to Mel and Marilyn’s granddaughter, Keira, and all the family. Shock result of the night came in Division 2, where lowly La Caña Lancers beat high-flying Scruffy Macs, 5-3. Congratulations to new captain Pete, who led his team to only their third win this season. Up at the top, Sundowners hammered Naughty Nautas and Sunshine Bar slipped to defeat at Valle Vikings 2.
Palms Sports Bar got the better of close rivals Trap Door, while Bad Girls/Boys came through what must have been a very emotional evening by claiming a point at Summerland. In Division 1, The Pub’s 5-3 success at Yela’s moved them above Target Army, who managed to take just two games from leaders Xtreme Sports Bar. Ensecan took the trebles and had a fine victory at Barracudarts Boys, while the San Blas derby saw Bar 180 A beat stablemates Bar 180 B. Target Titans lifted themselves off the bottom, thanks to a draw with Tavern, and La Central had to wait until the last game for a home win over X-Men. Phoenix Bar’s Del Boy checked out on 115 during a solid 6-2 result at Gaffers, while Cozy Wanderers continue to impress in third spot as they dispatched Valle Vikings 7-1.

Awful match! Brilliant result! CD Tenerife 1 Leganes 0 FOR the second weekend running, CD Tenerife were involved in a match that was more interesting on teletext. Perona’s well-taken goal on the stroke of half-time decided what was, comfortably, the worst match I have ever seen at the Heliodoro. I consider Tenerife’s defeat at the hand of Vecindario a few years back as the worst display, but this was not far away. “There are lies, damn lies, and statistics” is an often-quoted Mark Twain saying. Wise man. Well, even Huck Finn would see that Tenerife have problems. On paper, all is well. Tenerife sit in third place, just three points off the top. They have the best defence in the league and have made their best-ever start to a season at home. Happy days. But even Fonzie and the gang got cancelled. On Sunday, Tenerife played the whole match without a recognised striker. Yes, German came on for the last 15 minutes. But he is a donkey and not a footballer. Tenerife created one chance, and even though they took it, that is not good enough at home. The near-10,000 fans deserve better. Leganes took the game to Tenerife and on another day they would have left with all the points. That’s not to say they played like Brazil. Tonino is a player whom Tenerife are screaming out for,
but Leganes are what they are: an okay Third Division side. Tenerife are so much more. Again, on paper! It must seem strange to an outsider that there is real pressure on the boss, Antonio Calderon. He has lost only two matches, both away, and he has the side riding high. But don’t be fooled. This team seem to be going backwards, even though the options are increasing. Calderon is unlucky to be without his main strikers, and that the cupboard is bare is not his fault. But he is not blameless. He knew, coming into this match, that there would be no Kiko and Rosquette. There must have been a plan B or C. Also, his abuse of Josmar is baffling. The team should be build around the Venezuelan youngster. Calderon needs to say: “Right, let’s get him on the ball all the time. How do we protect him? What are the sacrifices?” This kid is going to be a star, yet he cannot even get close to bench. Calderon is vocal enough on the sidelines, and I'm sure he is a bawler in the dressing room. But is his message getting across and sinking in? His first-choice defence has become the fourth. Don’t get me wrong Tenerife are okay at the back. In midfield, he is unsure who should be in the engine room. Is it Kitoko and Marcos, or Kitoko and Zazu, or does Nico come in? And it’s only a matter of time before Chechu is drafted more centrally.
Position
Points
In brief, it’s a mess. Every week there is a different side, a different experiment. I’m certain Calderon doesn't know his best side. Is it only me who thinks you should play a left-back at leftback? Recently, he has given centre-back Tarantino the job and, even though you gain defensively, you lose the attacking that Jonay Meji gives you. It’s the same at right-back. Cristobal is solid but is never a threat going forward. Subsequently, Tenerife are predictable and easy to set up against. My Spanish journo cousins are grumbling, and this week the club’s sporting director, Pedro Cordero, gave an unscheduled press conference to try to restore order. Question: How do you feel the first dozen games have gone? PC: Generally, I feel they have gone well. The results are important and they have been good. But Segunda B is a tough division.

Q: How do you feel the team are playing? PC: Up and down. Sunday at the Heliodoro was our worst, but we still managed to win. Q: What is the goal for the season? PC: Promotion. We have 24 points out of 36 and that is great. But it’s not easy. Lugo and Castilla have good young players who don’t have the same pressures we do. Q: But isn’t the goal to win the league? PC: To be in the top four is the goal. Of course we want to be champions. But it’s a long season. Get into the top four, and then be ready for the final sprint is what I want. Q: Do you understand the fans’ frustration at not being top in this lower league? PC: No. There are also two very good teams in this league in Lugo and Castilla. Q: Your thoughts on the Antonio Calderon? PC: I’m happy with the coach. I appreciate we have 24 points, and that we also have to improve. It was hardly Don King-esq, but it did show he is behind the current setup. He also confirmed that signing another striker was his No1 priority. This Sunday, Tenerife travel to face mid-table Toledo.

Superstars have their - cake and eat it, too! DIVISION ONE of the Oasis Fm Pool League was blown wide open on Tuesday as the top two sides lost and the defending champions dropped points.
Contender for Match of the Year took place in Los Cristianos as Summerland Superstars battled back from 4-2 down to 6-4. In a watertight contest, there was little to choose between them and league leaders Tenerife Hammers A. Alex stunned Ashley to take the opener, but then Penguin made Wez pay for an error to steal an equaliser. James got the better of Mark to make it 2-1, only for Grandad to grind a leveller from Jambo. The doubles matches were nervy, edgy contests and both went the Hammers’ way. At 4-2, Jambo headed to the bar with a large smile. “Still all to play for, even at 4-2?” I ventured. “Nah,” said Jambo. “I'm on next. Piece of cake. We’ll win.” Well, he was made to eat his words as the Hammers started to erm, crumble! Mark showed true grit to beat him, and it was squeakybum time for the leaders when Ashley beat Fritzel. Grandad then edged a thriller with Wez to give the hosts the lead. The final frame was a classic and Alex had his chances before Penguin held his nerve to take the match. Meanwhile, just around the corner, second-place Hoops were getting a battering at the hands of Phoenix Potters. Hoops took the opening rubber before the Potters clicked into gear to win the next nine frames. Palms A missed the chance to go top as they had to settle for a draw at Summerland Allstars. But they will look on it as a point gained after being 5-3 down. Gaffers A are now in the top five following a close win over Bar 180 C, and hat-tip to Trap Door, who inflicted the first
whitewash of the season over the luckless Nauta A lads. Terrace A returned to winning ways, while Dreamers and Legends drew, as did Tasca and Toscales Old Boys. Division Two is now Barracuda Bandits’ to lose after they beat high-flying Summerland Elite 8-2 to go seven points clear. They are unbeaten in 14 matches and travel to Atlantis Crew this week. Phoenix Potters stay second, despite another defeat. Connors were the latest to take them for three points. But Bar La Cana are now up to third and going nicely. They put Nauta B to the sword 7-3, while Exiles A spanked Toscales A-Team 8-2 to stay fifth. Inn The Pink, Tenerife Hammers C and Terrace Bar B all won, as did Tenerife Pool Tables for the first time this year. Fat Nick’s lads are in the winning column after beating Barracuda Hunters 6-4. Gaffers B were too strong for Dos Hermanos, and their 8-2 win keeps them top of Division Three. The Treehouse are on their tail following a win over James Place, and don’t write off C&A Titans. They are bang in contention, and the Golf del Sur mob are just three points back after beating Sunshine Bar. Legendary Jokers and Lucky Leprechaun also tasted victory, as did Wandabar B, whose 7-3er over Bull Ring Tarven was their second straight success. Here’s the draw for the preliminary round of the Toddys Gold Label Cup, which was made this week...

Chio let-down for their English fans UD CHIO failed to win at home for the first time this season, going down 2-0 against AD Teide after a hardfought struggle.
The match was more difficult than anticipated because the
team coach had family problems and couldn’t be there. In addition, his deputy was involved in the Guia Car Rally. Nuhacet Placeres Rodriguez took over and watched his side reach half-time without conceding a goal. But AD Teide
scored twice in the second half to deflate the home side. It was a shame for UD Chio because they had attracted some English locals among the crowd and, obviously, hope this setback will not deter them from coming again.
