If it's good enough for Sir Winston Churchill …

IT was opulent enough for Sir Winston Churchill, Greek shipping magnate Onassis, legendary actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Sofía Loren, and even superstar Van Morrison.

These were just a handful of the countless celebrities and dignitaries, who were attracted to the Grand Hotel Mencey in Santa Cruz in years gone by. Now, the owners of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Mencey plan to rekindle those memorable times by re-opening its doors in Santa Cruz on 11th November after a 25-million-euro renovation. It closed just two years ago, a tired, weary old building in need of a facelift desperately. But far from simply modernising the iconic, 60-year-old landmark, the owners have restored

this palatial hotel to its former glory. Their ambition is to provide luxury accommodation for tourists, on a par with anything mainland Spain has to offer. And they are succeeding at every level. More than 500 tradesmen have been involved in the operation, and on Tuesday, owners Iberostar Hotels & Resorts invited the media to share their delight by demonstrating the sheer quality of the refurbishment. During the meeting, Aurelio Vazquez, General Manager of Iberostar, said: “With the reopening of the Iberostar Grand Hotel Mencey, Tenerife will have a large, luxury hotel that will attract a highlevel of tourism. “We expect to receive business travellers who were already our clients before the reform, and also people visiting Santa Cruz as tourists.

“The city has great attractions and firstclass facilities, such as the Auditorium and the Museum of Contemporary Art, which make it worthy of consideration as a holiday destination.” Abject luxury has always been the aim of Iberostar for the old building, combining quality standards and services of the 21st Century with the historic tradition of the Hotel Mencey. Daniel Cañibano, Director of Iberostar Grand Hotel Mencey, told journalists: “This reform has been designed to achieve the perfect combination of innovation and tradition. “We want to keep the historical essence and the spirit of Mencey, while offering the best possible product, perfectly adapted to new times, and a quality service which will allow us to position ourselves at the forefront of the hotels in Spain.”

It will be the only five-star hotel in the Tenerife capital and is situated in a residential complex with its own unique, colonial-style surroundings. After a complete renovation, the hotel will be seen to have retained the heritage which made the Mencey unique in Santa Cruz over the years, with its steady stream of famous personalities from the world of culture, entertainment, politics and sport. Without altering its traditional ways, the hotel will become more dynamic with new technologies coexisting with old traditions to meet the customers’ demands. “Historically, Mencey Hotel has been one of the major players in the social life of Santa Cruz,” adds Daniel Cañibano. “After this complete renovation, the hotel will strengthen its leading role as a meeting point for visitors from around

the world, and for the inhabitants of the city.” Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, keen to compile the hotel’s history, has launched a project called El Legado del Mencey, which aims to bring together a collection of hotel images, historical photographs, celebrities, postcards, documents, stories, anecdotes and curiosities to form a heritage book for everyone to enjoy. Oscar Gonzalez, the company’s Europe Marketing Director, said: “Several historians and researchers have been compiling the history of this legendary hotel, from its construction until the present day. “And anyone can help us to shape and remember the history of this landmark building with all kinds of information.” If you feel you can add to the project, you can contribute information via www. legadodelmencey.es

try’s first direct, scheduled flight to the Italian city. The no-frills firm revealed the new plans as it marked its inaugural flight to Athens. The new routes, which bring the total number of Easyjet routes from Scotland to 45, will be served by the arrival of a fifth aircraft at Edinburgh Airport. Jim O'Sullivan, Edinburgh Airport’s

A Word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Social networks ruin social interaction ON television this week, a celebrity commented, “What goes on tour, goes on Facebook” instead of the old adage, “What goes on tour, stays on tour”. The comment came following the Mike Tindall incident. That’s just one of the examples where people literally live their lives on a social networking site; documenting their every movement from the moment they arise to the second they drop off to sleep. In between time, they are narrating their page with banal comments of how long they’ve had to queue for the bus, or the fact that they’re making a cup of tea. Social network sites are also the new stage for drama, divorces, breakups, feuds and arguments all played out for the ‘group’ audience. Don’t get me wrong because this new media is a great tool and opens up a whole raft of possibilities for people, whether it’s social, economic etc. There is one aspect of this current trend that I find so sad, however, because the new genre of technology has killed the good old art of conversation. Families no longer converse; they either talk via electronic devices or don’t talk to one another but use their mobile devices as a form of escapism. Imagine the scene in a cafe in Tenerife: Mum on Facebook via her mobile, Dad on Facebook via laptop, two kids connected through their personal ‘i’ devices. This family were actually talking to one another electronically. even though they were sat within metres of one another. To me, it just beggars belief. The other day I caught a snippet of Jeremy Kyle - long story short, this guy was an alleged cheat and was taking a lie detector test. One thing his partner had discovered was his imaginary Facebook profiles! Kyle responded along the lines of, “Does this guy not work; when does he find the time? And that’s my final point. I personally have embraced social networking technology, but where do people find the time? Even Facebook has now emailed me to my hotmail account, asking where I have been.

Co-incidentally, this week, social networking giant Facebook is predicted to double revenue this year to £2.72bn. The California-based company has seen a dramatic increase in the number of companies turning to its site for advertising. Figures released by leading market research firm eMarketer suggest that companies were more than twice as likely to use Facebook than Twitter. Advertising revenue is expected to leap from an estimated £1.19bn last year to £2.42bn this year. Even though Facebook has spent several years wooing marketers, many of them still believe the ads aren't effective at driving clicks and other actions. Revenue from Facebook Credits - a way to buy computer games on the site with virtual currency - has more than tripled, from £89.3m to £300m, according to eMarketer. "Facebook's revenue streams will continue to diversify," said eMarketer principal analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "Advertising will be a decreasing proportion of total revenue, while other sources such as Facebook Credits will grow," she added. Despite the massive increase in predicted revenue, Ms Williamson warned that Facebook still needed to prove to advertisers that its products deliver results. "Even though Facebook has spent several years wooing marketers, many of them still believe the ads aren't effective at driving clicks and other actions," said Ms Williamson. "Facebook must either work to improve its clickthrough rate or show advertisers that advertising on the site is effective, even without a click or other action." As a privately-held company Facebook, which has more than 750 million members, does not officially disclose figures on its financial performance. However, the eMarketer figures are considered by many in the technology industry to be an accurate reflection of the company's fortunes. Mark Zuckerberg's company is expected to go public next year.

2011 tourist figures are looking so good The Canaries received in the last year 19.6 percent more foreign tourists making the Autonomous Region the fastest growing destination of all followed by the Balearic Islands, with a 10.5 percent increase year on year. The survey data from the Frontier Tourist Movement (Frontur), compiled by the Institute for Tourism Studies of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce show that so far this year the Canaries have received 6,639,105 foreign visitors, a figure that is 16.6 percent of the national total, amounting to 39,914,525. During the month of August 821,378 international tourists came to the Islands, up 16.1 percent over the same month of 2010. The annual percentage increase is the second largest after the Comunidad de Madrid (42.6) because of the latter's visit by Pope Benedict XVI. FRONTUR started producing data in 1995, it shows how all the target regions recorded tourist arrivals. The Ministry of Industry, which compiles the survey, said that the August data

"strengthens the positive outlook" for 2011, which could become "the fourth best year ever for tourism in Spain", after the recovery started in the second

half of 2010. By means of entry, visitors arrived by air in August rose 12.7% to 5.5 million, compared with 1.7 million tourists who came by road, 2.6% more.

It’s Appsolutely brilliant! MOBILE phones these days seem to do everything, the actual calland-receive process really do seem to play second-fiddle to all the new gizmos and gadgets available.

From a torch to a home cinema, phones just keep spiralling upwards as new technology becomes available. The latest craze is of course, the iphone and its millions of Applications, which are available from the App Store. As most of you will know, Applications have now been abbreviated to App … and cleverly so, incorporating a pun into just three letters. Apple and their Applications seem endless, with an app for just about anything, so easily downloaded and installed. Within minutes, your phone can be microwaving your food, watering the garden and even running your bath! Well, perhaps not, but with the new app from Business Pages Tenerife, it can certainly be calling all of your favourite telephone numbers. Bptenerife is now the only English business directory on the Island, and is a household name when searching for the products and services of businesses over here. They have been sourcing the Island’s numbers for the last five years with the easy-to-use website, and in-depth paper directory - and this year is no different. The website is still finding our numbers, and the new paper directory is now available from outlets around the island. But if you are an Iphone user, you can now sit back, download the free Bptenerife App from the Apple store, and find all of your numbers, whenever

you need them, directly from your mobile phone. The application allows all businesses, products and services to be found and called directly from your handset. So, no more searching for pens, or trawling through Google, because Iphone users now have everything in a modern, easy-to-use App from BpTenerife.

If you haven’t got an Iphone, just relax. The android app is now in development, and will be available to everyone in December. For more information, contact Business Pages Tenerife on 902 881 061, or visit the website at www.bptenerife. com And, of course, if you are one of the many Iphone users, visit the app store and search for Bptenerife.

Tenerife blowing hot and steamy! TENERIFE’S red-hot summer seems likely to continue for a while at least, but the atmosphere is different on mainland Spain, where there’s a rainy outlook with falling temperatures.

Autumn is definitely getting ready to settle in, with areas of low pressure across the peninsula meet cold air coming in. The predictions for Tenerife are varied, at least for today (Friday). The BBC forecasts “thundery, showery weather”

but sunshine over the weekend, interspersed with white cloud on Sunday. Conversely, Weather Online suggests sunshine all the way in the South, which will please holiday-makers, while accuweather.com marks tomorrow down as “Clear to partly cloudy” with a sunny weekend. Wunderground.com has yet another opinion, predicting some cloud for the next four days, while holiday-weather. com has Tenerife being hit by torrential rain early on today, followed by moderate-tolight showers throughout.

But come Saturday morning and it is sunshine galore throughout the weekend and Monday. According to the Spanish Met Office (AEMET), the long-range forecast is also contradictory. It says that autumn, which officially starts at 11.5am today and lasts through to December, is likely to bring “lower temperatures and higher precipitation than normal in the Canary Islands”. But it also states that Spain will not experience weather “very different from the norm” during the next few months.

Wheezing schoolkids head for the hospital CHILDREN with asthma children in Spain tend to suffer more after their return to school after the summer holidays.

In fact, the number confined to hospital rise by 25% at this time of year, because of air-conditioning and the return to PE classes. It is the worst time of the year for the asthmatic kids, with 54% having to take time off school with persistent coughs, wheezing and breathing difficulties. These are the main

symptoms of asthma, which is a chronic disease affecting some 10% of Spanish children aged 6-14. The number of cases becomes especially acute about two weeks after the new term has begun, producing what doctors refer to as the “autumn asthma epidemic”. The sudden flare up of asthma is also blamed on the fact that sufferers are less likely to take their normal medication)during the summer as symptoms seem to fade away. Yet only 13% of asthma sufferers between 12-18 return to school with their symptoms under control.

Wild dogs attack in Los Cristianos It has taken months, but the authorities now seem to be taking notice of a pack of wild dogs that have been roaming the streets of Los Cristianos.

The dogs, "four large dogs with a German Shepherd cross," according to local police, attacked a local resident last Sunday. The incident took place on the large roundabout at the entrance to Los Cristianos. The head of local police, confirmed that it is not an isolated incident and is satisfied that these dogs "have bitten before." They are thought to be located on the Guaza Mountain, and come down to Los Cristianos at dusk to forage for food. At least three other incidents have been reported to the police.

23 September - 29 September 2011

The head of the local police has sent a report to the Public Safety department of the City Council requesting central government intervention - Seprona, a Guardia Civil unit responsible for capturing these dangerous dogs "before there is a greater misfortune." Environment Councillor, Antonio Sosa, has urged residents to call 010 if they see the pack of dogs.

Over the moon!

WHEN sisters Adel and Karina Wilson arrived in Teide National Park to continue an environmental project last week, they had no idea of the space-age adventure awaiting them.

The last thing they expected to see was the robot Bridget Rover, ready to go through “her” paces in pursuit of new exploration on the Moon, Mars and Mercury. Not only did the girls view Bridget - featured on the front page of last week’s Canarian Weekly - but they were actually given the chance to operate the Britishbuilt machine. “It was just like a PlayStation control,” said an elated Adel. “We couldn’t believe what was happening, but we just happened to be in the right place at the right time.” Karina added: “We both found Bridget easy to control, and the people in charge were very kind to us. But the robot moved slowly.” Adel, 14, and her 10-year-old sister Karina are no strangers to Tenerife, having lived here some years ago with mum and dad Janet and Roger, and they simply love the thought of helping the environment. The Edinburgh girls were here at the start of the year to tackle a Gold Award scheme for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), which they achieved. Now they are setting their sights on the John Muir Award for exploring, which is part of an environmental scheme focusing on wild places. The National Park fits the bill perfectly for the youngsters, and also for the robot because scientists involved in the research acknowledged the similarities between the floor of Teide and the surface of Mars.

THE Spanish Government has finally agreed to back the motion to begin emergency work on the shores of San Andrés. It clears the way for additional funding to prevent further flood disasters in the area.

Cure for the black market? OVER 3.300 people have been identified as working illegally across the Islands and the Government believe that if national insurance contributions dropped in Spain, people would not be so intent on fuelling the employment black market.

Testing station for osteoporosis ENGLISH charity TEIDE (Tenerife Excursions for Infirm and Disadvantaged Children Exchange) is holding a series of osteoporosis screenings from Wednesday to Friday 28-30th Sept) using the latest technology. The testing is taking place at Equipo Hire, La Camella, opposite Biblioteca restaurant, for just 20 euros. The same test would cost up to 300 euros in the UK.

Space-age robot sends two sisters up in orbit

But the sisters must have found it hard to concentrate on the task ahead of them after meeting one of the most famous of all robots. The knowledge gleaned by Bridget will be transferred to a newer version, which will eventually be sent into outer space and on to the planets. Nevertheless, the girls set aside their brush with fame and dirtied their

gloved hands while performing a huge clean-up task involving cigarette ends 304 to be precise. “We collected them in one hour around Roque Cinchado, but the smell was horrible,” wrote the girls in their daily diary. “We understand that people smoke because it is their choice., but we feel strongly that as Teide is a national Park, and cigarette ends are not biodegradeable, they will interfere with the conservation of Teide. “We wore protective gloves, but the smell was horrible and we didn’t enjoy our clean-up. But we are happy to have helped the conservation of Teide in a small way.” However, the sisters did enjoy other tasks there, and they have even designed a poster for the National Park, which they hope to promote with travel agents throughout the UK. But their abiding memory of Teide will almost certainly be the meeting with Bridget. “We both used the controls and it was a big WOW,” they wrote. To top off their once-in-a-lifetime experience, Adele and Karina have been invited to robot-maker Astrium’s space centre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, for a tour of the company works.

European mobility week TITSA and Metropolitano de Tenerife are taking part once again in the European Mobility Week.

The project which draws to a close this weekend included exhibitions, technical seminars and a bicycle day, amongst others. The Cabildo, through Titsa and Metropolitano de Tenerife, has organized an extensive programme of activities for the celebration of European Mobility Week, which aims to influence citizens and institutions on the importance to choose alternative methods of travel in cities such as public transport or cycling. This initiative began in France in 1998 and since then it has spread throughout Europe and Tenerife with broad support and in recent years, the idea has led to a development of actions not only during this special week, but throughout the whole year in order to draw attention to the negative impact that cars can have on our society. It also proposes the search for new alternatives to urban mobility. This year 37 countries have

registered 1,911 initiatives, divided between cities, public or private bodies and institutions of transportation, of which 628 are Spanish initiatives. This shows the great interest in this event within Spanish society and the effort in Spain is being made to address the problems associated with traffic and the movement of people. This year the Cabildo, through the Department of Transportation, participates in the European Mobility Week, in order to inform people of some of the many measures for mobility and public transport that have launched in recent years. These measures are presented as a permanent measure among which are: - The creation of new parking spaces for bicycles in the town of La Laguna. - Improved infrastructure: new pedestrian bridges, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings on roads, pedestrian crossings, etc.., In the TF-5, TF-1, TF-2 and TF-4. - Restructuring of the urban lines of San Cristobal de La Laguna, from four lines (16, 27, 28 and 29) with a complex path to six direct lines (from

Adeje Food Fair

- 'Degusta.me'

Wife stabbed to death A 36-YEAR-OLD woman was stabbed to death last Sunday at her home in Las Rosas, on the road to Las Galletas. Clementina Morales was said to have been knifed several times by her husband, 54, who was arrested and taken to hospital with what appeared to be serious, self-inflicted wounds.

Complete confidence in the future of the country José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero expresses his "complete confidence in the future of this country."

On Wednesday, 21st September, the President of the Government attended the last government control session of this legislature in the Lower House of Parliament. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero defended his opinion that the Government of Spain has acted on its responsibility to guarantee fiscal consolidation, implement structural reforms and maintain social cohesion. In response to a question from the Member of the Lower House for the Partido Popular (PP) [the Popular Party], Mariano Rajoy, the President of the Government, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, insisted that, faced with the most serious crisis in the Eurozone for 80 years, the Spanish Government has needed to take "a very tough stance against a very tough economic crisis" during this legislature, the worst consequence of which has been "the very high rate of unemployment" for which he feels responsible and regarding which

Page 10

he is not indifferent. Nevertheless, he added that the Government "has acted on its responsibility to guarantee fiscal consolidation (meaning we will avoid even worse consequences), implement structural reforms (that have been highly necessary for a long time and that will have positive effects on the economy) and maintain social cohesion as far as possible" and that this Government has achieved the "highest levels of social protection ever", he said. All this, he continued, has been done while "contributing in a responsible fashion" within the scope of the Eurozone to help the single currency "survive and move on". The President of the Govern-

ment concluded his speech by expressing his "complete confidence in the future of this country". Constitutional reform in response to the question from the Member of the Lower House for Nafarroa Bai, Uxue Barkos, the President of the Government said that the reform of the Constitution is "faultless" and was implemented following a "serious and extraordinary" situation of economic crisis. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero explained that the recently approved constitutional reform establishes "stability as a trend that will be consolidated in the large majority of Eurozone countries so that we may continue to maintain a strong cur-

rency and financial stability into the future". In response to the question from the Member of the Lower House for EAJ-PNV, Josu Iñaki Erkoreka, on a possible risk to the future of the Autonomous Region State, the President of the Government said there has always been talk of the risks associated with the future of the Autonomous Region State ever since approval of the Constitution establishing a decentralised structure for the State. Nevertheless, it has played an important and positive role in this period. Along the same lines, the President of the Government stressed that, through the process of acknowledging a European Union with greater powers and greater economic competency, "what we now have is an inevitable call for cooperation that does not mean the restriction of either regional or central powers but simply means strengthening the principle of cooperation, loyalty and coordination". Concluding, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero expressed gratitude for the collaboration and responsibility from his parliamentary group during this legislature.

Couple trapped in jungle phone home to get help A British couple who became trapped in the Amazon jungle have been rescued by Brazilian authorities after making a desperate call to relatives in the UK.

Lesley Norris and Bruce Scott, both in their 60s, ran into difficulties when a bridge they were crossing collapsed, sending their motor home plunging into a ravine. Unhurt, they were able to clamber out of the gorge. They then managed to get a mobile phone signal and rang a member of their family in Eastbourne, East Sussex. Their relative immediately called Dover Coastguard, who forwarded their details on to Falmouth Coastguard, which acts as the international liaison station for the UK. After staff at Falmouth Coastguard relayed the message to the relevant authorities in Brazil, a helicopter was scrambled. The pair was quickly rescued after the accident on Tuesday, which happened 124 miles (200km) from Manaus, capital of the jungle state of Amazonas.

Battle of the British

period dramas hots up A Brazilian navy spokeswoman said the couple from London had been travelling around South America for about four years. She said it was unclear if the mobile home would be recovered or if the pair planned to continue with their tour. The British consulate in Rio de Janeiro confirmed the couple had been rescued and said they both appeared to be "in good shape". The pair had been travelling in a four-wheel drive truck meant for rough ter-

rain that they had converted to include a sleeping cabin. The last blog entry on their website, posted a week ago, described their journey to Manaus and the "unseasonably hot" Amazonian weather. Back in Britain, Fred Caygill, at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said: "It's not the first time we've assisted people across the world. "This is a bit unusual for us as it's not of a maritime nature, but there are no boundaries in search and rescue."

Pope on first state visit to homeland

AS the stars of First World War drama Downton Abbey celebrate their success at this year's Emmy Awards, the BBC has released details of its own period drama. Five-part drama Parade's End is set in the "Edwardian era to the end of the First World War", the BBC announced less than 24 hours after ITV1's Downton Abbey won four awards. The two series sound very alike but the BBC insists it commissioned the adaptation of Ford Madox Ford's quartet of novels before Downton Abbey was even broadcast. Damien Timmer, an executive producer for Mammoth Screen which is making Pa-

rade's End for the BBC and HBO, said: "I can honestly say that we started off doing this great big story about Edwardian England going into the First World War before any of us had ever heard about Downton Abbey." The controller of the BBC, Ben Stephenson, said the project shows the corporation is committed to making original British drama. He added: "Just because things are set in a similar period doesn't mean that they are the same." Like Downton, the new drama will be a costume piece, set during the war and featuring class battles. The cast includes Rebecca Hall, Benedict Cumberbatch and veteran comedy actress Miranda Richardson.

Vast gas find may bring boom time to Blackpool

Pope Benedict XVI has started his first state visit to his German homeland amid fears of mass protests.

The Bavaria-born pontiff was met on a red carpet at Berlin's Tegel airport by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff. The 84-year-old's four-day visit starts with talks with top politicians and an address to a 70,000 capacity crowd at Berlin's Olympic stadium. En route from Italy, the Pope told reporters he had no problem with protests as long as they stayed "civil". "It's normal in a free society marked by strong secularism," he said. "I respect those who speak out." He will also visit Erfurt in the former East Germany and the predominantly Catholic Freiburg in the southwest of the country. The trip proved popular with some - include German tabloid Bild which draped a picture of the pontiff over one side of its landmark Axel Springer building. But demonstrators have vowed to protest, rallying near

the Bundestag as he makes a speech to the country's ruling elite. Dozens of left-wing politicians have also vowed to boycott the speech - the pontiff's first ever to a parliament. "It will do the Pope good to come to Berlin and sense what reality is in the year 2011," said the co-leader of the opposition Greens, Claudia Roth, amid accusations the address will undermine the separation of Church and state. The 2005 election of Joseph Ratzinger, who was born in the Bavarian village of Marktl am Inn, as the first German Pope for around 500 years was met with joy in Germany. However his papacy has been marred by revelations last year

of widespread molestation by German priests over the last few decades, which helped drive more than 181,000 from the Church - 57,000 more than in 2009. The Vatican has indicated it is likely the pontiff will meet with sexual abuse victims, as he did on trips to Ireland and Malta. Catholic leaders hope to avert the disruption seen last month in Spain during World Youth Day celebrations, when thousands marched against the Pope, sparking a police crackdown, or during a 1996 trip when John Paul II in his popemobile encountered paint bombs and a female streaker.

Up to 800 wells could be drilled around Blackpool after a company exploring for controversial shale gas found vast underground deposits.

Cuadrilla Resources says its surveys have discovered 200trn cubic feet of gas in Lancashire - equivalent to 56 years' worth of imports. Not all of this will be recovered, the company concedes, but chief executive Mark Miller said it was "pleasantly surprised" by the findings. The mammoth task of extracting the gas could create up to 5,600 jobs, including 1,700 in the region, he said. Cuadrilla also estimates that local authorities could benefit from ÂŁ120m in business rates. Shale gas is contained within a layer of rock formed

from deposits of mud, silt, clay and organic matter. It is extracted by drilling down into the ground and then using a process called "fracking", in which highpressure liquid is used to split the rock and release the gas. The process has attracted strong criticism from environmental groups, who argue that there is a risk the chemicals used in fracking will find their way into groundwater. Local residents are also waiting to hear whether minor earthquake tremors that hit Blackpool in June are related to Cuadrilla's activities. "Drilling for shale gas raises serious safety concerns and risks polluting water supplies and it could take vital funding away from the clean energy solutions we know are safe and will work," said Friends

of the Earth's senior climate campaigner Tony Bosworth. "Our future power needs should come from the wind, sun and waves and using our energy more carefully - this will slash emissions and boost the economy by creating new businesses and jobs." The Co-operative meanwhile warned the Government not to be "seduced" by the newly-discovered Lancashire gas field. It reiterated its call for a moratorium on shale gas extraction until the environmental impacts were fully understood. Cuadrilla will now finish its exploratory phase then begin getting approval to build drilling wells. Some 400 could be built over the next nine years and up to 800 over 16 years if gas extraction is successful.

Poisoned school meal kills children in Peru Three schoolchildren in Peru have died after eating food donated as part of a nutrition programme that had been contaminated with rat poison. A total of 89 children and five adults were poisoned after the food was distributed at a

school in Redondo, a village 310 miles (498km) from the capital, Lima. The three dead children are all believed to have been under 10 years old. Authorities fear the death toll could rise. The food had been donated by the National Food Assistance Programme, which

23 September - 29 September 2011

helps schools in the poorest parts of the country. Officials said it was contaminated when rice and canned anchovies were put into a container containing rat poison. Police captain Aurelio Huaman said prosecutors have opened an investigation into the tragedy. A similar case occurred in 1999 at a Peruvian town near Cuzco, when 24 children died after food was contaminated with pesticide.

Killer executed after last-ditch appeal fails Murderer Troy Davis has been put to death in Georgia after a lastditch appeal at the US Supreme Court failed.

Davis was convicted of the 1989 killing of police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia. His case became a focus for campaigners because seven of nine trial witnesses have recanted their testimony. Davis was lethally injected at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson. His last moments were described by local radio journalist John Lewis, who witnessed the event. Mr Lewis said: "He was strapped to the gurney when we walked in and, when the warden asked if he had to make a statement, he lifted his head up and looked directly at the front row, right where the MacPhail family and friends were sitting. "He said that he did not have a gun. He said that he was not the one who took their son, father, brother and he said he was innocent." The journalist added that the MacPhail family "hugged somebody" after the death

and "seemed to smile about it". "For the MacPhail family at least, they seemed to get some satisfaction from what happened," he added. Gathering crowds hopes were dashed after confusion over a possible reprieve. Davis' death was delayed by some hours, after the US Supreme Court considered a last-ditch appeal. Crowds outside the prison in Jackson, Georgia, cheered shortly after the scheduled 7pm time for his lethal injection to begin upon rumours that the Supreme Court had stayed the execution. But joy turned to confusion as it emerged there had been no such reprieve and Davis' lawyer said the State of Georgia was simply delaying the execution until the final decision had been announced. Around three hours later, it emerged the Supreme Court had refused a stay of execution in the case, giving the go-ahead for the lethal injection to take place. Mr MacPhail's family said Davis is guilty and agreed with his execution. His widow Joan MacPhailHarris said before the execution: "We have put up with

this stuff for 22 years, and it is time for justice today." However, thousands of people came to his defence. Desmond Tutu and Helen Prejean, who wrote Dead Man Walking - a book about a Death Row inmate - were among those to issue statements on his behalf. Thorbjorn Jagland, the secretary general of the Council of Europe, asked on Tuesday for US authorities to find a way to spare his life. Supporters claimed the integrity of witness statements was questionable. He warned there were serious doubts about "the integrity of conviction". Raphael Warnock, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, called the pending execution a "civil rights violation and a human rights violation". The case has been through a series of appeals and in August 2009 the US Supreme Court took the rare step of ordering a new hearing. But in June 2010, a fresh appeal was dismissed with Judge William Moore finding only one of the witness recantations was wholly credible.

Baby Squirrels rescued after nest disaster Curled up together in a blanket, these squirrels catch up on some sleep after a traumatic start to life.

The five-week-olds were tossed from their nest in Northumberland when the aftermath of Hurricane Katia struck Britain. Winds reached up to around 70mph in the north of England last week as the remnants of the weather system moved over the UK. In what were believed to be the worst storms for 15 years, trees were downed, waves engulfed roads and masonry collapsed.

The squirrels were found by a passer-by and taken to a vets' surgery, who passed them on to the Sanctuary Wildlife Care centre in Morpeth. Their mother has still not been found so workers are feeding the tiny animals goats' milk by hand every three hours. The Sanctuary is a family-run, not-for-profit organisation which cares for unwanted and injured animals across the north of England. It was founded in 1993 by Kim Olson and her husband Allan Pettersson, who had studied wildlife management and worked in Tanzania.

The centre now treats hundreds of injured or abandoned wildlife each year, with the aim of returning them to the wild. The red squirrel is native to Britain but numbers have dwindled as the American grey squirrel continues to dominate. There are only around 140,000 red squirrels left in the UK, compared to over 2.5 million greys. Red squirrels often build their nests - called dreys - in the forks of tree trunks. They are weaned off their mother's milk after eight to 12 weeks when they have developed a complete set of teeth.

Brit designers shine at London Fashion Week This year's London Fashion Week has been branded a big success with one of the strongest front rows to date both in terms of the media and buyers.

There was also the strongest attendance of American department stores to date -supporting a poll that names London as the world's new fashion capital. Fashion photographer Mario Testino told Sky News that London is more influential than ever when it comes to fashion. "The truth is that all the ideas come out of here," he said. "Before they used to be picked up by every other designer from around the world, diluted and communicated to other parts of the world and other people were making the money.

"I think Burberry, in a way, bringing their shows back to England has been very important because they have managed to bring the attention back here - that England isn't only a hub of ideas but it is also a business and there is an industry working and people are making it happen." The runways have seen a global standard of models showcasing collections, with designers including Burberry

Prorsum, Christopher Kane, Erdem, Jonathan Saunders, Mario Schwab and Mary Katrantzou. US-based media analytics company Global Language Monitor recently ranked London as the Global Fashion Capital, overtaking New York. It said the Alexander McQueen wedding dress that Kate Middleton wore at her royal wedding moved London from third to top position.

Driver 'unscathed' after

level crossing smash A driver in Buenos Aires has miraculously survived after driving across a railway track - and being hit by an oncoming train.

Video footage from the front of the train shows the car driving onto the tracks, despite the level crossing gates being down. The high-speed train crashes into the vehicle, but the driver reportedly walked away unscathed. Authorities said the driver was arrested

after the incident, which occurred in the early hours of Monday morning. The accident comes less than a week after another smash in Buenos Aires involving a city bus and two passenger trains that killed 11 and injured around 200. In that accident, the bus driver also went around gates at a different level crossing on the same line. The two accidents have brought the effectiveness of railway gates into question in the Argentinean capital.

X Factor USA slated as it airs for the first time TV critics in the US have blasted Simon Cowell's decision to axe Cheryl Cole as a judge from X Factor USA after the first episode was aired. Many American journalists who watched the show's opening programme agreed that Cheryl was a better judge than 33-year-old Nicole Scherzinger who replaced her. The 28-year-old singer is shown in the

beginning of the first installment before it was decided she wasn't right for the job. "Ms Cole showed glimmers of being interesting," said The New York Times. "In two seasons as a judge on The Sing-Off on NBC, Ms Scherzinger was a pretty face but, judicially speaking, not much more than a seat warmer." The Chicago Tribune complained: "Scherzinger doesn't come off as an obvious improvement."

Markets plunge amid the doubts over Fed stimulus World stock markets are plunging - with the FTSE 100 losing more than 5% after economic growth data and the US Federal Reserve's latest stimulus disappointed. The Fed's new policy, named Operation Twist, will involve America's central bank selling short-term treasuries (US government bonds) and buying more longer-term debt to the tune of $400bn (£256bn). In a statement, the Federal Reserve said: "This programme should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative." The move is designed to get the economy growing by pushing down interest rates on everything from mortgages to business loans - in turn giving consumers and businesses more money to spend. But it falls short of its previous stimulus attempts, so-

called quantitative easing, when the Federal Reserve actually pumped extra money into the economy by buying more assets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.5% of value on the news on Wednesday night and European markets gave a similar verdict today. Downgrades for three US banks and fears for growth in China and Germany added to the sell-offs while A European Central Bank study also suggested fiscal imbalances in the eurozone risked undermining its stability and sustainability. Miners have seen the bulk of the pain on the FTSE 100, on expectations that demand for minerals will sink with growing evidence today that the French and German economies are flatlining. The sense of doom and gloom on the markets all feeds into these fears of a new global recession, despite the latest prediction from the IMF that it can be avoided. The International Monetary

Fund (IMF) warned earlier this week that the world's largest economy is in danger of slipping into a new recession based on current volatility in global equity markets. The fund forecasts growth of just 1.5% for America this year. The Federal Reserve seemed to acknowledge the IMF's assessment in its statement adding: "There are significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global financial markets." Whether the move by the Federal Reserve and its chairman Ben Bernanke will work remains to be seen. Citigroup's chief UK economist Michael Saunders said: "This move by itself won't be enough to radically change the US outlook, I think it's fairly modest in scale. "I think they may well in the end have to do further quantitative easing." The Fed Committee also decided to keep the rate of interest unchanged at between 0.25% and 'virtually zero'.

A million flee as typhoon threatens chaos in Japan At least six people are dead or missing and more than a million evacuated from cities in Japan as a typhoon strikes the country.

The category 2 tropical storm, known as Roke, is expected to head toward the north eastern region which was battered by the tsunami in March. The southern coastline near Tanabe and Nagoya has already experienced winds of over 100mph (160kph) and heavy rain. Rescuers in boats have been trying to help people whose homes have been hit by floods and landslides. In the capital, Tokyo, high winds and rain have knocked out the power to 200,000 homes while local authorities battle to strengthen river banks. The Japanese government has asked people to follow evacuation orders. Chief cabinet secretary Osamu Fujimura warned: "We need to be extra vigilant against a potential disaster caused by heavy rains, strong winds and rough seas along a wide area from western to northern Japan." The typhoon has affected much of Japan's industrial heartland and companies including car manufacturer Toyota have closed down their factories. Also buffeted by the storm is the Fukushima nuclear power plant - which is at the centre of an

Page 16

ongoing radiation crisis since the earthquake and tsunami devastated the coastline on March 11. The plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co, has said there was no immediate problems reported at the damaged reactors from the storm.

It is hoped inmates will pass on details of crimes committed inside jail and anything they know about offences outside. Pilot schemes in Yorkshire and Scotland have generated many useful calls, says Crimestoppers. The project has been set up by the charity and the National Offender Management Service, which oversees the prison and probation services. The authorities hope that information will help them tackle the internal trafficking of drugs and mobile phones. All 86,000 prisoners in England and Wales have been issued his or her PIN to punch in after dialling the national Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111. At the moment most prisoners' calls are recorded. The exceptions are calls to lawyers and the Samaritans charity.

Crimestoppers founder Lord Ashcroft said: "From day one, Crimestoppers' success has been due to the anonymity that has been guaranteed to those supplying information about crime. "Because of the knowledge that the prison population is likely to have about crime, the launch of this PIN service offers the same guarantee of anonymity to prisoners as it does to members of the public." Prisons Minister Crispin Blunt said: "It's important that prisoners who do not wish to speak to the police or a prison officer are able to give anonymous information to Crimestoppers - last year alone over 8,000 people were arrested and charged thanks to information received by the charity."

'Unauthorized' Wikileaks book published

The "unauthorised" autobiography of Julian Assange has gone on sale without the Wikileaks founder's consent, the book's publishers have said. The book details the story behind the website which caused a diplomatic storm after releasing leaked confidential material relating to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as well as private diplomatic cables set by US ambassadors and officials around the world. Assange signed a contract believed to be in the region of £1m in December 2010 to produce a "part memoir, part manifesto" to be published some time this year. However, Canongate said that after reading through the book's "first draft", Assange "became increasingly troubled by the thought of publishing an autobiography", declaring that "all memoir is prostitution". In June, Assange told the company he wanted to cancel his contract. "By the time Julian wanted to cancel the deal he had already used the advance money to settle his legal bills," the publisher said in a statement. "So the contract still stands. We have decided to honour it - and to publish. "Once the advance has been earned out, we will continue

to honour the contract and pay Julian royalties." Assange was said to be fearful that the book could fuel US attempts to charge him over the high-profile leaks. Despite this, a link to purchase the book was posted on the official Wikileaks Twitter account, raising doubts the "unauthorized" release could be a publicity stunt. However, former Wikileaks staff member James Ball told Sky News he believes Assange's anger is genuine. "I don’t think it's a stunt. Of course, if it ends up showing him in a good light, he'll pretend he planned it this way." Mr Ball believes Assange became frustrated with the autobiography project after it became clear much of its earnings were likely to go towards his legal team. "He's thrown his toys out of the cot," Mr Ball said. "I think he was upset that he could not sell the film rights like others did." Mr Assange's struggle to raise funds for his organisation has intensified since key funding sources were cut off after pressure on firms such as Visa and PayPal from the US government. An auction of Wikileaks memorabilia has been set up on eBay. Among the lots, a computer used, according to its description, to prepare the release of the US diplomatic cables.

It has currently attracted a single bid of £6,000. Wikileaks say the computer is "exclusive auction item" and the winning bidder will get "the full set of Wikileaks Cables, the Wikileaks computer and its passwords". Assange is currently residing in Ellingham Hall mansion in Norfolk on bail as he awaits possible extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims involving two women. In the book, he writes: "I did not rape those women and can not imagine anything that happened between us that would make them think so, except malice after the fact, a joint plan to entrap me, or a terrible misunderstanding that was stoked up between them. "I may be a chauvinist pig or some sort but I am no rapist, and only a distorted version of sexual politics could attempt to turn me into one. "They both had sex with me willingly and were happy to hang out with me afterwards." He claims he was warned by a source at a Western intelligence agency that the US government would attempt to "illegally" discredit him by, he predicted, planting drugs or child pornography. The Australian also goes into detail about his youth, describing the "addictive" thrill of hacking into the likes of Nasa and the Pentagon as a young adult.

The key to economic recovery? By Christopher Pennington, Capecan Business Centre

AT a recent dinner, the conversation changed from the usual, “How’s the family and how was your summer holidays”? to focusing on the current recession (actually a depression, but more about that later).

The recession is a topic everyone has an opinion about, and everyone has a solution, if only those idiot bankers and politicians would listen … right? I spoke with a friend of mine, Mike Southon, who’s a Financial Times columnist and successful serial entrepreneur himself. Mike had recently written an article for the FT stating that the road to recovery was through raising private equitythe process of a business receiving funds through investment into its business. It would seem that there has never been a better time in recent years for successful businesses to raise private equity. There are obviously many investors and venture capital firms (groups of investors that give you money in return for a percentage of your business) out there earning nothing from having their money stuck in the banks. This is only likely to produce them in the region of 3% interest, which is hardly an attractive deal for a per-

son with a savings account, let alone an investor. With banks offering so little, and real estate not yet having its lowest price, it would appear that private equity is much more likely to see a positive return by investing in an entrepreneur with a track record of business successes. And if the business owner can also throw into the mix some sort of guarantee, your investor is likely to be a happy one. Investment into your business could best be used to purchase another company, maybe a competitor, where you can then streamline the operations. Or it could be used to develop your brand intelligently, using the capital to help you to win a larger portion of the market. This is likely to entice your competitors to adjust in an already-difficult market. It is also worth noting that it is easier to be pro-active as opposed to reactive as the former gives you momentum.

Why should you consider this and why now? After contact with an associate of mine who is arguable one of the most successful equity traders of the last 15 years, (he was responsible for the largest equity cash trade in

23 September - 29 September 2011

European history - that of O2 by Telefonica), he enlightened me about the three types of recession. The first is a V type, which is usually a 45-degree downturn until it hits rock-bottom, followed by a 45-degree upturn of growth. The second is an L type, which is a straight down crash. This is the one where, if you live in the City, you will see people throwing themselves off the tops of buildings. Then there is the worst of all. We call it a recession, but it’s actually a depression. This is the W type, where a market loses at least 50% of its value, which we have seen in real estate and investments. It then bounces back, as the market did in early 2009. Then what you will see is a flat-line, with little movement until the second crash happens. This hasn’t happened to date but is still to come, as the W shape recession follows the trend of 1974/5 and1933/5. After this second crash, you can then expect to see a growth phase of about 20 years, allowing for the occasional dip, which is why investors should buy companies with good track records before the second crash. History has shown that if you get it right and secure private equity, you are most likely to emerge as the brand leader, while

your competitors either go to the wall or struggle on. If you don’t have private equity in your company now, or think it would be too challenging to find, then another viable option is to start looking at cutting your overheads. If the second crash was to hit, which 90% of experts are predicting in 2012, then it is likely to be fast and hard-hitting. with companies fighting to keep their current client base and desperately trying to cut costs in order to make themselves profitable. The advantage to our fully-fur-

nished, serviced office business centre is exactly this. You can pay just one bill, plus receive more and better services than you are currently receiving and for less than you are currently paying! This will, in turn, lower your current costs and release that extra valuable cash each month to start getting ahead of your competition now and claiming more of the market. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail! Register your interest for our new Business Centre, soon to open in Los Cristianos, and see how we can add value to your business.

Lights, Accion, cameras! GOT our shades on and we’re ready to roll! Valerie Dales has send a super picture of her grandson, Charlie, and her dog, Jack, driving like crazy, man, to beat the deadline for the Pets Portrait competition.

Tenerife’s lesding design and print company First Impressions, on the San Miguel road in Las Chafiras, have kindly offered to print all the entries for the Pets Portrait Competition at Accion del Sol on 2nd October. In addition, some excellent prizes have been donated by Siam Park and Loro Parque, and there’s a fabulous weekend on offer at Hotel Botanico, in Puerto De La Cruz. The photos will all be displayed on the day in the form of an exhibition at the refuge, as well as a fun dog agility competition, with lots more fun, games and stalls for all the family to enjoy.

Five-star boost Hip Lions are so for the refuge cool man, cool! WHAT a great start to the week for Accion del Sol’s dog refuge, with five dogs being adopted and off to start their new lives.

This gorgeous little pup pictured also has new a owner, but Mr Schneider will have to wait three more weeks before he can take him home as he’s too young to leave his mum. But it is becoming harder and harder to find people to adopt the dogs because so many animals are coming in to the refuge. So please think carefully before allowing your dog to get pregnant. Dog refuges in general are full of unwanted animals over here, and sterilisation and castra-

tion is the answer - the real way forward - to help ease this crisis on the Island. Every single dog at the Aktiontier-sponsored, Granadilla-based Accion del Sol is castrated or sterilised, ensuring no unwanted litters, which would only add to the existing problems. Puppies have been coming into the refuge in droves. Please visit the Accion del Sol sanctuary and see for yourselves what beautiful, healthy dogs they have, all looking for loving homes. If you would like to adopt one, call in at the centre, which is open from Monday-Friday between 3-6pm, or call 922 778 630 for more information.

THE appearance of a Jimmy Savile lookalike inspired members of San Miguel Lions Club and their guests to follow suit, dressed in 60s and 70s gear last Saturday,

The retro event, held at the Dragons Denn, Alondras Park, Costa del Silencio, ensured a riot of colour and imagination, with the appearance of iconic Dj Savile, aka Dave Tracey, leading the way. It turned out to be a brilliant, time-warp, theme night, with everyone entering into the spirit of things. Prizes for the best-dressed male and female, won by Bobby and Val respectively, were presented by Karen and Mike (pictured), who were also kitted out appropriately. Lions Social Secretary Ralph Solomon said: “It was a great night, and special thanks go to our Lions team and to Liz, from the Dragons Denn, who hosted the evening and served us with topnotch nosh.”

Moon walkers wanted by K9 ANIMAL refuge K9 is planning a Full Moon Walk to Chinyero Arena Negras on Wednesday, 12th October. But unfortunately, NO dogs will be allowed - even on a lead. The walk starts at 9.30pm and should be completed by midnight. Walk leader is the experienced Christine Rudge, and those interested should meet at 8.45pm at the Chio Garage (TF38), at the far side of Chio if coming from Guia de Isora.

Page 18

Participants are advised to wear sturdy trainers or boots, fleece or warm jackets and hats, and should carry drinks and a torch. A minimum 10-euro sponsorship is required from each walker, and all proceeds are for K9 and Friends of the Animals Further information and sponsor forms are available from Mikey at mikebtenerife@yahoo.co.uk or from the K9 kennels or the K9 stall at Alcala Market.

Unstoppable, that's barn-storming Ron! RON BARNES proved far too hot for the rest of the Fun Golfers at Los Palos in the September challenge, when they contested the individual competition and the Harry Davis Memorial Trophy. Ron picked up both titles after a super round and, as ever, it was a great day’s golf, enjoyed by all. Ann Pickersgill finished second, with Russell Nolan behind her. Julia Fleming took the prize for Ladies’ Nearest the Pin, while the Gents’ honour went to Javier Sabaris. The next Fun Golfers’ competition will be staged on 9th October, and anyone wishing to play should call Clive on 922 797 640. Incidentally, the Scally Waggs Golf Society’s new tee-off time is 9am on Sundays. Call Frank Moss on 661 187 334 if you are interested in a round.

President’s Night Wednesday Club’s for Santiago Lions change of scene THE re-arranged President’s Night for Santiago Del Teide Lions Club will be held on 15th October at El Marques, Puerto Santiago. Ken Ward takes over as President from Steve Gilbert at the full, sit-down buffet, to be followed by cabaret and dancing until late. The evening starts at 7pm for a 7.30pm sit-down, and

compere for the night will be Fred Dudman, with cabaret featuring Gavin Nicholas and Stu McCoy. It promises to be a great night, with tickets at 30 euros each, and there will be a Happy Hour at the bar between 7-8pm. Tickets are available from MDI in Alcala and El Marques. For further information, contact Richard on 678 432 683.

THE venue for the Wednesday Club has now changed from the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos, to another meeting place close by. For further information, phone Edna on 629 487 090 to meet old and new friends in welcoming surroundings. The club, which meets on the last Wednesday of the

month, has been running for nearly two years. It was started to give some social support to older members in the community and has flourished. It gives them an opportunity to meet other people - as couples or singles - for a social get-together of likeminded people who don’t want to visit or meet in bars.

Banking on Gillian’s girls to raise the roof THE Gillian Banks Theatre School, from Rotherham, are bringing 15 professional and semi-professional performers to Tenerife for a week in October, to perform three fund-raising shows for Live Arico’s animal rescue centre.

The Theatre School supports many charities throughout the year both in the UK and across the world - Nepal being one place. Back in May Tenerife’s Nick Page

flew to the UK to perform in a show with the Theatre School, a registered charity with Nick as its Patron. It raised an impressive £11,000 for local charities and now, in exchange for Nick’s chosen charity (Live Arico), the Theatre School are returning the gesture by performing in the final week of October to help the cash-strapped refuge. Singing and dancing showgirls will perform together on the three nights. Tickets will be limited, so to reserve yours now through Suzy Q on 682 517 045.

23 September - 29 September 2011

The Theatre School have performed with Nick Page and Tanya Tevaro on many occasions, and they promise to make your evening one to remember. Show dates: *Monday, 24th Oct - The Palms, Golf del Sur. Tickets 10 euros, to include dinner. *Thursday 27th - The Harbour Club, Los Gigantes. Tickets 15 euros, to include a five-star buffet. *Friday, 28th - The Theatre Bar, San Eugenio. Raffle tickets costing five euros to be purchased on entry.

Live Arico update: Half-year figures Our three charity shops made a net profit of 22,080.39 from January to June inclusive. We thank Claudia, Trish and Siobhan for managing the shops, and all their hard-working volunteers. The coins in our collection boxes totalled a further 4,137.21 euro, and the benefit nights (and afternoons) brought in 5,445 euros, thanks to all the acts who give us their time. We are lucky to be able to call on the very best of talent when we need to, and, as was proved at Restaurant Maria, we sure can put on the best of events. Donations made added up to 4,982 euros, which gave us a total income of 36,644.60 euros. In reality, our running costs are around 10,000 euros a month and again the shortfall has been met by our vets, Hospivet Sur, in Las Chafiras, and our feed supplier. We strive constantly to reduce our debts with both entities. Our “10-cent-a-day membership scheme has had a good start, and we hope it will continue to give us this extra, much-needed income. Go to www.livearico.org and click on the button on the homepage for all the details. Or you can set up through your bank. Our details are 2065 0222 18 1400011706, Caja Canarias. You will receive the latest newsletter immediately. Our thanks to … All involved in the fund-raiser on 9th September at Restaurant Maria, Golf del Sur, where we raised an outstanding 1,000 euros. Solange and her staff worked hard to feed almost 100 people and keep the drinks flowing. The entertainment was provided by Sebastian, Phil Gibson, Alfie B, Tanya Tevaro, Nick Page, and Charlie Karlsen, making his final appearance before starting his studies at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London. Charlie started his singing career at our benefits four years ago and we wish him well. All in all, one of the best nights ever, with a fantastic atmosphere in this stunning venue. We will make this a regular event there, so check this column for news. Live Arico Roadshow Next Friday, 30th September, we will be at Ocean View, Comodoro Hotel, in Los Cristianos, for a pie-and-pea supper.

Sunday 25th September BBC1 12:10pm - What Seb needs to take the title The defending World Champ, who has eight wins to his name this year and has finished just one of 13 grands prix off the podium, has already bagged 284 points.

The German has a commanding lead in the standings as he is 112 points ahead of Fernando Alonso and 117 in front of Jenson Button and Mark Webber with Lewis Hamilton a further nine off the pace. His advantage means he can wrap up the title at the very next race in

Singapore - and with five races to spare. What he needs is: •He has to finish on the podium to stand a chance of winning the title. •If he finishes fourth or lower, something he’s only done once this year, the title race will continue into the Japanese GP. •If Vettel wins the grand prix, he needs Alonso to finish fourth or lower, with Button and Webber third or lower. • If he is second, Alonso has to finish eighth or lower, with Button and

23 September - 29 September 2011

Webber fifth or lower and Hamilton must not win. •If Vettel comes home in third place, Alonso has to finish ninth or lower, Button and Webber seventh or lower and Hamilton must not finish in the top two. As for Vettel’s thoughts when it was pointed out that he can bag his second successive title in Singapore, the Red Bull driver said: “Wow. I don’t know. It has been an incredible year so far to be honest. “We have progressed so much as a team and have become so much

stronger in the last two years and again from last year to this year made such an incredible step. I think we have put ourselves in a very good position. “But I love racing. We enjoy racing as a team altogether every weekend, unpacking the car, you can see the passion and it is great. You can feel the challenge. “We want to make sure that we have a very good weekend and we squeeze everything out of ourselves. Of course, it is very nice to win but if we have a good Sunday and we fin-

ish third or fifth still you feel that we are very good in optimising the result so I don’t know really. “I think we just do Singapore as we did all the other races this year. Go there and take it step-by-step and see what we can do. I love the circuit. It is very interesting. “I remember I had a nice race there with Fernando, obviously to his advantage, as he finished first but it was great. I think we had a tough race there. It is a long circuit so I am looking forward to it and we will see what happens then.”

JACK WHITEHALL - My Funniest Year

An Idiot Abroad was an immediate success when it launched last year. It was first-class funny and, more momentously, saw the birth of an unlikely star in Mr Pilkington. Happier at home eating a bag of Monster Munch than oohing and aahing over this splendid sight or

that, the podcast sensation mined televisual gold when Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant sent him on a trip to the Seven Wonders of the World. Expect more quotable quotes as he digs out his passport for An Idiot Abroad 2, in which he works his way through the ‘Bucket List’: the

things you’re supposed to do before you kick said bucket. Flung from Alaska to Australia, Pilkington is up for a rush of new experiences, whether it’s taking a dip with dolphins or hitting Route 66. Of course, Gervais and Merchant have arranged a few surprises along the way...

11:05pm Channel 4

Jack chooses 2005 because for him it was a momentous year - the year he turned 17, left school, and lost his virginity in Antony Worrall

Thompson’s gastro pub. There was also Live 8, the hunting ban, the introduction of 24 hour drinking and the launch of YouTube. My Funniest Year is a comic journey rich in belly laughs from beginning to end as Jack gives his unique take on the events that shaped the

year and his own life. Jack also takes a pop at noteworthy TV shows of the year, including the launch of Come Dine with Me, and delves into the public reaction to the celebrity weddings of Prince Charles and Camilla, Peter Andre and Jordan, and Ken and Deirdre in Coronation Street.

In each episode of There’s No Taste like Home Gino meets three home cooks who each boast a treasured recipe that has been passed down through their family for generations.

Cinema Verite tells the story of the Loud family who, in 1973, became a television sensation of a new kind as their lives were chronicled for a ground-breaking documentary.

JO BRAND’S BIG SPLASH 9:00 - 10:00pm - DAVE Jo Brand, trailblazing stand-up comedian for so long, dives into a new project for Dave – she dons a very gentlemanly pair of flippers and water wings to explore us Brits’ relationship with water. And we’re not talking about bottle of the old mineral either. No, Jo wades her way through the wet worlds of

wild swimming, mud racing and daring dives that make up the weirder, quirkier world of how we enjoy water in all its glorious forms. Mixing travelogue and standup, Jo takes on watery challenges in her custom-made swimsuit, which includes the essential pocket for her ciggies, lipstick and donor card. This week Jo asks furry Jedi, Bill Bailey, to help her determine whether the

trendy new craze of wild swimming really is any better than swimming in her local pool. She also has a go on the Olympic white water canoe slalom course where – as per – she devises her own, far lazier event for this state-of-the-art Olympic facility. As she throws herself into every river and lake, this is a side of Jo Brand we’ve never seen before.

SHIRLEY 9:00 - 10:10pm - BBC2

Leading BBC Two’s Mixed Race season, Ruth Negga (Misfits, Criminal Justice, Five Daughters) leads an all-star cast in Shirley, an intimate and revealing drama that looks at the life of Dame Shirley Bassey – one of the world’s most enduring and successful divas and a national treasure. The film charts Bassey’s early career, from her humble roots in Wales in the Thirties to the start of her rise to international stardom in the Sixties. But this is no ordinary rags-to-riches story. Born in Tiger Bay in Cardiff,

Page 34

Shirley was one of eight children from a poor mixedrace family. An audition with struggling London agent Mike Sullivan puts Shirley firmly on the path to success, as he grooms her into a solo performer fit to take on the world. But Shirley is hiding a secret – she’s an unmarried teenage mother. Persuaded to give her daughter, Sharon, to her elder sister to look after, Shirley works day and night to perfect her routine and complete the transformation from the povertystricken girl from Tiger Bay to the star she so desperately wants to become.

With a hit song soon under her belt, and a controversial marriage to her first husband Kenneth Hume, a smalltime assistant film director from South London, Shirley couldn’t be happier. But beneath the wealth, diamonds and furs, her life swings between triumph and tragedy as she catches her husband with another man. The supporting cast includes Lesley Sharp as Eliza Bassey, Shirley’s tenacious mother; Charlie Creed-Miles as Mike Sullivan, her domineering manager; and Henry LloydHughes as Kenneth Hume, her personal manager and husband.

Throwaway bags have been removed from check-outs at the company’s new Express outlet in Somersham, Cambridgeshire, following a campaign by residents. The village actually became free of plastic bagsthree years ago after retailers signed up to a Parish Council initiative there. But locals feared the blanket ban would be broken when Tesco announced plans to open the Express store in a former pub on the high street. And, initially, the company refused to stop providing the bags. It agreed to do so after pressure from many of Somersham’s 4,000 residents, and they may well have set the scene for other towns and villages to press the UK’s biggest supermarket giant to extend the scheme. Penny Bryant, clerk of Somersham Parish Council, said the village’s ban on bags had been threatened by the opening of the new Tesco. “The ban is something for us to be proud of,” she said. “When we first heard that Tesco was opening the store, a lot of people were worried about that aspect. “If plastic bags had been offered by Tesco, it would have ruined our initiative, and other retailers may have felt forced to follow suit.”

The company has confirmed that the outlet is the first it operates to stop offering free plastic bags to customers, who can instead buy a 10p Tesco ‘Bag For Life’. Supermarkets are coming under intense pressure to tackle the cost, waste and blight of billions of throwaway plastic bags, which add up to more than 10 billion a year. The Welsh Assembly have already acted, imposing a 5p charge for them in all stores at the end of this month. Money raised from the scheme will go to charities, including those involved in litter and beach clean-ups. Both Scotland and Northern Ireland are considering adopting the same scheme, while London Mayor Boris Johnson is supportive, and the Westminster Government is under pressure to follow suit. A Tesco spokesman said: ‘This is a council scheme to which all retailers in Somersham have signed up. Our store opened just a few weeks ago, and we will initially offer our ‘Bags for Life’ to shoppers. “This is an interesting opportunity to see how customers respond, and we will listen to their feedback to understand if it is something they want us to continue.” Somersham’s Tesco has been giving away 3,000 free hessian bags, and is also selling the £1 reusable Somersham cloth bag offered by local retailers. Retired library assistant Jay Woods said: “Tesco is setting a good example because plastic

bags pollute the world, killing birds and other creatures. “So many bags are now available to buy and reuse that you don’t need plastic ones. The Tesco scheme is a great idea, and I believe the company will stick to its guns and abide by the rule.” She added: “This sets a good example to other supermarkets because if Tesco can do it, anyone can.” Jessica Merchant, 34, who runs Wild Frost florists in Somersham, said the local ban had plenty of public support and added: “I think it is good that Tesco has listened to the community.•” Demand for action by supermarkets has intensified following revelations that, despite industry promises to make cuts, one group of leading retailers handed out 333 million more bags last year. Tesco did try to tackle the problems caused by its plastic bags by making them biodegradable. However, it has decided to stop this policy following research, which suggested they could be worse for the environment than the bags they replaced. The plastic carriers cannot be recycled and break down into tiny particles, which could pose a poison threat to wildlife. Here in Tenerife and on the mainland, the Mercadona supermarket chain has stopped dishing out free plastic carrier bags and now sell its own reusable brand for 60 cents each. But plastic carriers are still available for those who forget, at five and 10 cents.

After wading through a long list and plenty of debate they have made their final selection. As always the list is a mixture of new authors and some slightly more established names, with a plethora of different genres selected. Richard and Judy will be focusing on a different book every fortnight and will start this series with Megan Abbott's The End of Everything. The other books that make up the reads are; The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Aimee Bender; The Black

House, Peter May; Left Neglected, Lisa Genova; Dark Matter, Michelle Paver; Jamrach’s Menagerie, Carol Birch; Everything and Nothing, Araminta Hall and Next of Kin, David Hosp. For more details on

This Aster is always in the pink THE perennial Aster Coombe Fishacre, better known as the Michaelmas Daisy, has few equals, especially in early autumn when it comes into its own.

It flourishes then, with a multitude of tiny blooms. In fact, this variety of aster has a long flowering

period, from mid-summer to mid-autumn and is best-suited to smaller gardens with its daisy-like pink blooms and yellow-brown centres. This lovely aster produces masses and masses of flowers, which can even last right through until the first frosts.

There’s no need to get in a flap over Elephant’s Ears! THERE are many varieties of Bergenia and the Purpurascens, or Elephant’s Ears as it is better known, is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch. Apart from the beautiful foliage and flowers, this perennial is more compact and has a longer season than most others of this family. And it is so easy to grow, with minimum fuss. The glossy foliage develops rich, purple tints in winter, if grown in full sun, while producing pinkish-purple flowers in the spring. As with the aster, it fits in well with smaller plots, and is the perfect plant for novices in the garden. It grows well in virtually any position and, like all bergenias, is ideal for the front of a border to soften the edge, flowering from March to May. The Bergenia Purpurascens is

Silver Knight brightens up the scenery CALLUNA VULGARIS is one of the true heathers, and not for nothing is it regarded as the Silver Knight because few heathers create a better effect than this shrubby, evergreen plant. It is also also known as Ling or ‘Scotch’ heather and is among the hardiest and most varied of all the varieties of this heathland plant. When mature, it produces a stunning, whispy-silver cloud of dense, quite upright, groundcovering growth which flourishes in acid soil. Sizes range from small tufts and mounds to shrubs around three feet tall. Flowers can be single or double, and a few hang on to

their flowers through the winter and look as though they are still in bloom. There are many interesting foliage colours, with some turning spectacular shades of orange and red during the cold weather. Those varieties which have coloured new growth in the spring are valuable for their extremelyshowy foliage from January to June, and they usually go on to bloom for several months more. Callunas grow and flower best in full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. Some experts recommend pruning those with spring coloured tips in the autumn, which enables you get to enjoy the new growth without pruning it off. Good drainage is very important.

Bushy and low-growing varieties are best for colder, snowy areas, where they are more protected by snow cover.

too easy to take the native plants for granted. So why not grow your own tiny tropical oasis? Just because you have a small space it’s no disadvantage, just don’t plant bamboo otherwise you’ll be taken over. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with a large plant, you just don’t want it to be invasive. Why not try?

Japonica ‘Crotonifolia’

A versatile slow-growing evergreen shrub for almost anywhere in the garden. 'Crotonifolia' will grow in both full sun and shade - although its gold-blotched and finelyspeckled leaves colour best in partial shade. It thrives in most soils, including dry ground near hedges and trees.

Bird of Paradise

Synonymous with the Canary Islands, the Bird of Paradise flower is also known as a Crane flower, they are one of the most beautiful exotic flowers. The flower is native of South Africa, very easy to grow here in Tenerife, ideal for pots and used as cut flowers.

Dear Christine

carl pattison

Your resident Agony Aunt

from Robot, answers your hair questions

It’s easy-peasy! WHAT do you mean, you can’t do your own hair? Rubbish. Anyone with the right cut can create her own individual look at home. All it takes is two simple tools - a hairdryer and a large, flat brush, and both styles pictured here require minimum styling and have maximum impact. Look, take it from me because I’m not going to give out false information, am I? Both these cuts are what we call in the trade “Precision Cuts” . It means that they are cut with an accuracy that will allow the hair to simply fall into place. They follow the natural fall and movement of the hair, allowing it to flow but also allowing it to fall back into the created shape. This is a true “Precision Cut”, so forget your cans of spray - your hours of torturing your locks. If you want simple elegance, then opt for something similar. With these sorts of cuts, you can’t expect the stylist to “force” the hair into these sorts of shapes. They have to look at the way your hair grows and follow the natural movement. Even curly hair can be cut this way and, if done correctly, the given shape will “appear”, even after washing, which allows you to wash and go. I’m not saying these methods suit every hair type - far from it – and you need to consult your stylist to see if you have the right type of hair to do this on. Even fine hair can look good with a good, solid shape cut into it. Okay, it’s still going to look fine, but it will “appear” thicker because of the heavier shaping. So, once you have your cut, what are you going to do at home after washing it? Well, start by applying a smoothing serum,

or blow-dry cream, depending on your hair type. Dry hair off roughly, using fingers, and push it in the desired direction, following the shape of the cut. Don’t start to use a brush until 80% dry, then take small sections, lifting the hair up and away from the head at 90-degree angles, creating lift and movement. At the same time, you are literally “turning” the hair under with your large, flat brush, smoothing each section and creating the shape that has been cut into your hair. This shouldn’t take more than, say, five minutes on short hair and 10 on longer any more and you’re defeating the object of a “Precision”. The cut should do all the work and, once finished, apply a little serum. And that’s it! Don’t overdo products because the hair should have movement and literally “swing” back into shape. Consult your stylist if you’re ready for something with a little more of an edge and get ready for easy-peasy hair.

Dear Christine, I’m a single mum of 27 and in the process of being dumped by a lovely guy of 20, who I’ve been seeing for a year. He insists he still loves me, but says he feels too young to live a life with kids in it. He wants us to stay friends and go out for a drink in a couple of months. Do you think he’ll come back to me? Gemma Dear Gemma, It’s difficult when a relationship ends. You can’t help wishing that things were different somehow, and that you wouldn’t then lose the future you’d hoped for. But this is a lad of only 20, most of whose mates are still playing the field. Yes, you could meet him for the odd drink, but that doesn’t mean he’s suddenly going to get all responsible. He says he feels too young yet to live family life - in other words, he’s happy to have a relationship with a 27 year-old, but not the responsibility that comes with it. Maybe he will change, but I get the feeling that he wants to date more girls and, of course, that’s likely to lead him well away from you. So you haven’t really lost the future you’d hoped for - a nice guy who will be a good, loving husband and a caring, involved dad. All that’s happened is you’ve found that your future is about a different man. Let yourself grieve, but don’t grieve for what you didn’t have. Then move forward confidently, enjoying your children, your friends and the rest of your life. Don’t settle for just anyone who pays you attention. Look forward to dating some men who want what you want, who are fine about parenting, who take you as you are, which is a mum as well as a woman. I wish you happiness and the best of luck. Christine Dear Christine, I’m 72 and have a man friend who’s 10 years older. He says he loves me and wants us to marry, but he’s got arthritis and is slightly disabled.

Page 40

He buys me flowers and chocolates and takes me out and about. Do you think he’s genuine, or does he just want a carer? I do love him, but can’t help worrying about this. Vera Dear Vera, I can appreciate your uncertainty but obviously, I can’t second-guess his intentions. What I can do is give you some pointers to help you make the best decision for yourself. Here goes: do you and he put the same amount of time and effort into the relationship, so that you’re equal partners, with both of you valuing the other person’s feelings and wishes? Do you genuinely feel good when you’re with him? Do you miss him when you’re not together? Does he listen to you and take you seriously? Do you and he share enough tastes, interests and attitudes (towards money, sex, fidelity, male and female roles, household tasks and possessions, etc) to make the idea of being with him forever attractive? Does he need more help than you’re able or willing to give? Do you talk about how you’ll manage his disability? I suggest that you observe both his actions and your own reactions over the next couple of months and then make your decision. Don’t let him pressure you into doing something you later regret! Good luck. Christine

Dear Christine, I’m in love with a married man I first met when I was doing a temporary job in Tenerife, three years ago. We split up when I went back to Ireland, but I’m living here now and bumped into him again a few months ago. Since then, we’ve been getting together behind his wife’s back. I do feel guilty, but they say you can’t help who you fall in love with. I enjoy our few stolen hours every week, but I so badly want him for keeps. He says if he’d known I was coming back, he probably wouldn’t

have got married. What should I do? F.L Dear FL, What a pickle you’re in! This guy is quite happy to commit adultery, even though he vowed to be faithful to his wife, so what makes you think he’d be any different if he married you? Look at his declaration of how he feels about you. It wasn’t, “I’ve always loved you and wish I’d never let you go.” No. He just manages: “I probably wouldn’t have got married if I’d known you were coming back.” It doesn’t say much for deep, lasting love on his part, does it? Also, he’s not actually doing anything concrete to end his marriage and get together with you. Doesn’t all this set off alarm-bells in your mind? Your belief that you can’t help who you fall in love with is a load of tosh, I’m afraid. Love isn’t an external force that compels you to act in a certain way. It seems to me that you shared some exciting moments with this guy, then kept thinking about him until you had built up a whole fantasy of how perfect things would be if only … This dream is not reality! And it’s certainly not love. I hope you have more self-respect than to keep on seeing this guy. You must know at heart that it’s three people’s lives you’re playing with, and that if you did try to have him for keeps, you’d be forever looking over your shoulder. What you do now is up to you. Christine

Skin through the ages… and how to keep it fresh FROM the onset of puberty, right through to our twilight years, us women have a lot to endure. We are faced with a vast array of physical aches and emotional ups and downs. From menstrual cramps and pregnancy pains to menopausal problems, life can be quite a rough ride for the average woman. Along with all of these marvellous stages of the female development comes the effects on our bodies and skin, and we must learn to look after ourselves both inside and out to make us feel and look as good as possible.

Teens to Twenties The first time we ladies become aware of our skin is when we enter our teens and puberty has set in. The classic-case scenario is when a special occasion arises (first date/ disco etc.) and so does a huge spot in the middle of the forehead or chin. Puberty plays a major role in the erratic behaviour of the skin, with the increase in hormone activity also causing the increase of oily secretions of the skin. This leads to congestion, and blocked pores and can, in turn, even lead to acne. At this time, skin has an optimum supply of collagen and elastin, which makes it firm and smooth but, as mentioned, hormones often cause havoc with the complexion. Choosing the correct skin care products is a difficult scenario because there are so many products on the market, some which now are solely for teenagers. Many teens will turn to heavilyadvertised products to deal with their problems, only to find that their skin will flare up in a completely different way. The skin can very often become sensitive, and is usually a result of harsh products. Teenagers are often tempted to use harsh products that strip the skin of not just

the excess oil, but all the surface oil, which is essential for the protection of the skin against pollution and moisture loss. Eventually, in removing this layer, the skin will produce more oil and so the vicious circle begins. Teenagers should realise that it is very important at this stage to obtain professional help and advice, so they then begin protecting their skin. How the skin is treated earlier on is important, and the earlier we start looking after it, and feeding it with the correct nutrients, the better it will serve us as we get older. Often, advice regarding the rebalancing of hormones is just as important as skin care. A visit to a reputable gynaecologist is a must for an assessment, to ensure there are no serious internal problems which can adversely affect the balance of hormones. Polycystic Ovaries (PCOs) is a complaint suffered by thousands of women - usually in silence whereby the symptoms can lead to weight gain/loss, acne and excessive facial and body hair. Clients in this age-group should wash their face mornings and evenings with a gentle face-wash based on plant or fruit extracts, like Aloe Vera, followed by an astringent toner to help close pores, and a light, protective moisturiser to control oil secretions and protect against dirt and pollution. Once a week, the client should use a gentle facial scrub, followed by a purifying mask containing camphor or burdock. Another important issue in this age-group (as with all age-groups) is prevention; some 80% of sun damage is done before the age of 18 and appears only in our late 20s or early 30s, where we will then start to see the first signs of ageing skin ¬- lines around the eyes, pigmentation marks, etc. Thirties to Fifties When a woman reaches her 30s, the skin is becoming dehydrated

23 September - 29 September 2011

and showing signs of ageing, the turn-over of new skin cells has slowed down and skin has become dull and sallow, through poor circulation. As mentioned before, the eyecontour area is affected first, and this is often through dehydration. Clients are usually advised to use specific products to tackle this area. Gels and serums containing horse chestnut and ginseng, as well as collagen, are great to help plump up and fill in fine lines and wrinkles. The skin on the neck is also prone to showing early signs of ageing as it produces much less oil than the skin on the rest of the face. Some women suffer from particularly dry skin on the neck and again, can use a cream specifically for this area and this problem. As skin enters its 30s and 40s, ladies need to step up and increase their skincare routine - not only richer moisturisers, including day and night creams, but also anti-ageing eye cream and a neck cream. So, as skin gets older and becomes drier, clients need to exfoliate more regularly and use nourishing/firming masks. At least twice a week is ideal, and the use of products containing vitamins A and C is great to stimulate collagen production. Keeping the skin vitalised and glowing may take more effort, but it is worth it in the long-run. Fifty-plus Signs of ageing are becoming more obvious as skin reaches and passes 50. Elastin has broken down, leading to loss of facial contours (sagging jowls and, sometimes, pigmentation problems brought on by menopause). The body and its life processes are generally becoming slower, meaning circulation has slowed down. It means that fewer nutrients and less oxygen are delivered from the blood stream. Any promotion of the circulation is

well received and will always create improvement. Sadly, the face becomes more rounded and loses its shape, deep lines and wrinkles are etched on the skin, the eyes can droop and eyelids become non-existent. Skin is dehydrated and sometimes even dry where the oil production had decreased. It becomes more sensitive to touch, and broken capillaries on the cheeks are visible. Sometimes these damages can be also the result of over-treating the skin aggressively in the past, and proves irreversible. All the above problems sound quite desperate, but there are ways to combat the situation and a vigorous homecare routine can be adopted, using gentle products based on plant extracts. Lavender helps soothe the skin, collagen will help plump it and fruit acids will help smooth uneven texture. Jojoba oils lubricate the skin to give suppleness. Ladies of 50-plus should follow a cleansing routine using rich, creamy cleansers and non-alcohol-based toners, which at all times are aiming to nourish and hydrate the skin. Exfoliation also becomes important for these ladies because it encourages the improvement of circulation and helps skincare products to penetrate the skin. Thus, the skin can be exfoliated gently three times a week, and this can be followed with a serum and nourishing masks. There are many factors to take into consideration, and therapist can design a regime to best suit the client’s needs. Whatever age, education on how to care for skin is essential, If this education process starts when we are in our teens, and the benefits of an effective skincare regime become apparent, there is no reason why vibrant skin with a hydrated texture can carry on throughout all of our development.

Industry cursed by tummy bugs TUMMY BUGS, the everyday curse of many, have increased by nearly half in the last 29 years, at a huge cost to industry. New research indicates that some 17 million Britons - about 25% of the entire population - after stricken every year, which adds up to more than 11 million working days lost annually in the UK, according to the Food Standards Agency. The biggest causes of tummy trouble are the highly infectious vomiting bug (novirus) and campylobacter, which is associated with under-cooked chicken. Professor Sarah O’Brien, who led the research, said: “This study reinforces just how many people’s lives are affected by the bugs.”

Big Mac chewed up by the fat-cat Costas McDONALD’S, once the thirdmost popular food shop on the High Street, has been relegated by the skinny latte phenomena.

Costa Coffee has overtaken the Big Mac suppliers as the UK’s thirdlargest food and drink chain. Whitbread, which owns Costa, has opened 145 new premises in the past six months. That gives them a total of 1,295 UK Costa coffee shops, compared with McDonald’s 1,200 outlets. Costa now plans to target the two main brands - the 1,500-strong sandwich shop Subway and pasty specialist Greggs, which is at the top of the fast-food chain with 1,526 branches. “Most people won’t walk more than 100 yards to get to a coffee shop,” said Whitbread boss Andy Harrison. “And there are many parts of the UK where people don’t have access to coffee. That’s why we think we can grow in Britain, perhaps by another 50% Meanwhile, Costa is chasing after relative newcomers to coffee in India and China, where it recently opened its 100th store. Mr Harrison said Chinese and Indian customers were increasingly turning to coffee as a fashionable, Western-style alternative to the more traditional cup of tea.

The cupboard was bare How much food do you think you throw away each week? A few items, a carrier bag full, a bin bag full? Unless your lifestyle allows you to shop on a daily basis we are all guilty of wastefulness as opposed to thrift.

The British Government wish to abolish sell by and use by dates and instead introduce one single date. It is estimated that we the general public, in the UK alone discard more than 12 billion pounds worth of food. The introduction of one date on packaging would it is thought stop food being wasted. Simplifying the dates would lead to less wastage. Historically the sell by date was created way back in the 1950’s as a way of guaranteeing freshness. The EU introduced best before and use by dates in the 1990’s. Retailers can be fined for selling food past its use by date but not its best before date. The new date has received a mixed response from the industry. Perhaps it needs an education programme for shoppers to explain the labelling the process. In this menagerie of dates it is the ‘use by’ that is the important one. It’s strange really to think that a number of years ago not everyone had a fridge, but the old fashioned larder where perishable goods were stored and a milkman delivered dairy products on a daily basis, how times have changed.

Stop the holiday money rip-offs A consumer watchdog says that UK travellers are being ripped off when they pay for their holiday money.

Consumers Focus has made a "super-complaint" to the Office of Fair Trading, claiming that complex charges and misleading information mean people are paying too much to exchange currency. A "super-complaint" is one made by a watchdog organisation on behalf of consumers, which is fast-tracked by the OFT. The consumers' group wants to investigate three main areas where it says travellers are being short-changed. Firstly, it says charges for using credit or debit cards abroad are complex and confusing, making it difficult for people to establish the full costs and to shop around. Transactions at foreign ATMs can incur a charge of up to £4.50. Secondly, banks and credit card companies charge cash withdrawal fees to buy travel money with a card in the UK. The customer's fee is much higher than the cost to the provider. And thirdly, the group is complaining about the language of foreign currency exchange. Phrases such as "0% commission" and "competitive exchange rates" are misleading because the exchange rates already include price markups and so don't come at zero

cost, Consumer Focus says. Mike O'Connor, chief executive of Consumer Focus, told Sky News: "Almost half of us travel abroad every year and we face a confusing array of often hidden charges every time we buy currency. "Converting £500 into euros can cost from under £10 to over £30 depending on where you switch your money. Cost of obtaining 500 Euros HSBC £ 31.76 (+1.5% with credit card) Barclays £ 29.84 (+2.5% with credit card) Lloyds TSB £ 28.35 (+2.95% with credit card) Royal Bank Scotland £ 27.12 (+1.5% with credit card) Co-op £ 21.51 Post Office £ 17.65 Halifax £ 17.39 (+1.5% with credit card) Thomas Cook £ 16.77 (+1.5% with credit card) Change Group £ 12.43 ICE £ 12.17 "This is a huge difference for essentially providing the same service and typically banks offer the worst deals. "Individuals buy holiday money infrequently and so may not shop around much or may just stick with the same supplier. "A cocktail of confusing charges and poor transparency means collectively we are losing out in a big way. "We are calling on the OFT to investigate and work with the industry to send these dubious and complex charges packing."

TripAdvisor trips up In certain echelons it’s held up as the bible of holiday goers. But just a week after being investigated by Advertising Standards Authority due to the content of their site, TripAdvisor have removed the phrase “reviews you can trust” from their website. Many businesses complained over fraudulent reviews, at times you would search out a hot restaurant or bar in a foreign destination only to find it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Sunday Times reportedly uncovered a whole industry of fake reviews, with those pounding the keys being paid as little as three pounds per entry.

BA hopes new ads will repair strike damage Months after ending a bitter industrial dispute with its staff, British Airways has launched its biggest advertising campaign for a decade, with a special focus on customer service.

The campaign centres on the airline's employees - after two years of conflict with its cabin crew, which included 22 days of strikes. The TV, print and online advertising push highlights the skills of staff members, including how cabin crew are trained to deliver babies. The company says it is placing new emphasis on its motto, 'To Fly. To Serve.' and is investing £5bn in products and services. The money will be spent on new planes, a revamped first-class section, better catering and improvements at London Gatwick Airport. BA's chief executive Keith Williams said the message "encapsulates our expertise for flying and our commitment to customer service".

The company said it had begun an internal programme to engage with staff. The 90-second TV advert

will be first shown on the company's Facebook page, and on Channel 4 this evening. The dispute with cabin crew, which began in Feb-

ruary 2009 over cost-cutting at the airline, ended in May of this year. The walkouts cost BA an estimated £150m.

Futuristic flops still gave today’s designers a boost IT is a well-known and obvious fact that to stay ahead of the pack, car manufacturers are obliged to push the boundaries constantly.

They need to carve new segments in the market, introduce progressive technologies and design edgy lines. And here are some of the models that set out to do just that but, ultimately, failed. Some of the cars were simply too much too soon, and despite their avant garde design or technological marvels, they performed disastrously on the sales floor. Others completely missed the point of what the public wanted in a car, while others still were the victims of poor business decisions. Each of the models featured here, however, have one thing in common: they made a significant contribution to the face of motoring. And many of the technologies we enjoy in today’s cars are a result of these trailblazers’ efforts, even if they themselves crashed and burned in their attempts to change the status quo. Long before Audi first introduced four-wheel drive to a production car, Jensen had succeeded in doing that with the Interceptor FF. Despite its technically futuristic underpinnings, the 'Ferguson Formula' Interceptor failed commercially and, sadly, Jensen went into receivership in 1976. Sleekly-styled, sporty and

just 34 inches tall, the Probe 16 had all the makings of a science fiction supercar. It was this radical styling that motivated Stanley Kubrick to feature the car in A Clockwork Orange as the Durango 95. In real life the car was decidedly impractical, with no doors and access exclusively through the sunroof. Only four were ever made. Regardless of where you stand in the debate on whether GM did or didn’t kill the electric car, in many ways the EV1 paved the way for successful modern electric vehicles that followed in its tracks. The EV1, cutting-edge in more than just its powertrain, sported ABS brakes, traction control, airbags and cruise control. While the current Insight is doing a much better job at securing its place in the market, the 1999 model proved too advanced for a public who could buy fuel on the cheap, and who struggled to come to terms with the car’s futuristic design. After Honda did much of the trail-blazing, Toyota successfully swooped in with the Prius. The styling of the 1967 NSU was so ahead of its time that it wouldn’t have looked out of place next to models that followed 15 years later. It was also a technical tour de force with its twin-rotor Wankel engine, fully independent suspension and clutchless manual gearbox. An acquisition by Audi spelled the end of the revolution-

ary Ro80. Paving the way for minivans some 20 years before the VW Transporter, the Scarab was a truly ingenious 1932 design with its aerodynamic body and reconfigurable interior. In the 14 years that followed its launch, a number of different versions were built, though it was never produced in any meaningful quantity. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, with science fiction all the rage in the 1950s, it wasn’t completely unexpected that Alfa built a “flying saucer” car ¬- the Disco Volante. However, the Italian company

didn’t anticipate that their model, meant to set new standards in aerodynamics, would actually also behave like a UFO by generating too much lift when you really pushed on. Only four cars were ever built. Finally, Morgan, known for their traditional values and styling, attempted to rush the company into the future with the sleek Plus Four Plus. The most unconventional feature of this model was its fibreglass body, but it was much too soon for the public and the company pulled the plug after just 26 units.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable NAUTA A are still proud owners of the only 100% record in the league, having continued their fantastic run with a 7-1 win at Phoenix Bar.

Yet the scoreline could have been closer with some better finishing from the home side. Bar 180 A are still hot on their heels after matching the leaders’ result at X-Men, while Cozy Wanderers look steady in third place after seeing off Toscales Tornados, who had Miguel hitting his first 180. Target Army’s Grant hit his second maximum in a closefought 5-3 victory at La Central, and Valle Viking’s 1 captain Geoff got his third 180 as his team prevailed at Target Titans. Gaffers earned a valuable point at home to Cafe Rood A, while Barracudarts and The Pub also finished evenstevens. Toscales Ensecan ended a nine-match run without a win by disposing of Tavern 6-2, and Yela’s Bar got a comfortable three points at bottom side Bar 180 B.

There were three tied matches in Division 2. The Playgirls had to win the trebles leg to finish all-square with Summerland, although Hopefuls’ Alan tried his hardest during the match and hit his second 180. Knights and Ourplace Naturals, second and third respectively, lined up to do battle at Scruffy Macs, and a titanic contest finished in a draw after the Naturals took the trebles leg. Cafe Rood B and Palms Sport bar also shared the points, thanks to the home team’s last-leg success. Bad Girls/Boys locked horns in a local derby at La Caña Lancers. After a night of fun and tension in equal measures it was the Bad ones who came through 5-3. Lucky Leprechauns’ 6-2 win at Valle Vikings 2 was only their second of the year, while Sunshine Bar beat Tenerife Sun by the same margin. Elsewhere, Sundowners and Naughty Nautas both had 7-1 victories, and Marilyns left it until the last game to secure a 5-3 result against Trap Door.

Rosquete is debut hero CD Tenerife 1 Coruxo 0

LAST week, I wrote a small piece on local lad Rueben Rosquete - and the Midas touch worked! The Icod youngster marked a solid home debut with the only goal of the game in front of over 10,000 fans. It was real Roy of the Rovers stuff. Or Raul of Real, if you like. He touched in a Tarantino header from a corner-kick 10 minutes into the second half to settle a match Tenerife had totally dominated. His partnership with fellow Tenerifian Kiko is starting to impress. The combination of little and large, or slow and quick, caused the Coruxo defence all the trouble in the world. They tried everything: five at the back, three at the back, man-marking, double team. But nothing worked. Even the good old-fashioned off-the-ball kicking failed. How Tenerife scored only one is a matter for the sporting gods. Kiko wasted three gilt-edged chances. One was a simple volley from eight yards, which ended up outside the stadium. Another, from six yards, was begging to be headed in, rather than chested back to the goalie - and the hardest late on should have sealed the contest. As it was, Tenerife finished the match hanging on against a side who had created nothing. And I mean nothing. It was bizarre. The fans’ nervousness was carried on to the pitch and led to the home players sitting back on a one-goal lead against a side with just 10 men and no striker! I have never seen anything like it. At the end of the match, the usual strains of “Ten-er-iff-ay..” were missing. Maybe the stadium Dj was too embarrassed. It masked what was, in truth, a fine effort. Apart from the attack, Nico worked well alongside the growing Marcos in midfield. The defence looked solid, and there were plenty of options on the bench. Tenerife are joint top, are still undefeated and have a good run of fixtures over the next few weeks. The feel-good factor is returning and, judging by the amazing crowd, the good times are on the way. Canarian Weekly ratings Sergio Aragoneses 6, Cristobal 7, Tarantino 7, David Medina 6, Meji 6, Bravo 6 (Zazo 76min 6), Marcos 8, Nico 7 (Josmar

Zambrano 61min 5), Ferran 6, Rubén Rosquete 7 (Perona 61min 6), Kiko Ratón 7.

Luna is surprised by this, but after being told that the club cannot afford him, he is persuaded to go to Murcia. However talks between player and club are strained. The offer on the table is lower than his current deal, and he said he wasn’t “feeling the love”, as the Yanks would say. After a few days, the deal kicks and Luna turns Murcia down. And then the fun began. Tenerife's board had made it clear that they didn’t want him back (money) and he would not be given a place in the squad. In essence they were forcing him out. But the transfer window had closed and unless they released him by paying up his contract (money again!), he couldn't play anywhere else. The coach was ordered not to pick him, and he was even banned from the training ground. And for what? The crime of wanting to stay at a club and on an island he loved! This has continued for a few weeks, but it seems a thaw is imminent. Luna trained with the rest of the players last week but is, of course, a little short of match practice.

Unhappy Luna still in limbo

OFF the field, it has been another busy week. Argentine centre-back Ezequiel Luna continues to dominate the sports pages. I saw him after the Coruxo match and he looks as frustrated as any player I have ever seen. It’s a strange situation he finds himself in. At the end of last season he was, along with goalie Aragoneses and midfielder Omar, asked if he wanted to stay at the club, but on massively-reduced wages. Luna said Yes as he is settled with his wife and young family on the Island. He is subsequently named as club captain and wears the armband throughout the pre-season games. Despite being part of two relegation sides, the fans like him and all seems rosy in the garden. But on the eve of the new season, Tenerife decide to make one last slash of the wage bill. Omar is sent out on loan, while Tenerife accept a late bid from newly-promoted Real Murcia.

He is happy to play and, as he is under contract, is being paid. It is, of course, a crazy situation. This is a footballer who was good enough to play in La Liga two seasons ago and was the captain only a few weeks back. Luna is diplomatic on the subject: “It has been tough,” he said. “Like any human, I have my good days and my bad days. I have no problem with the coach, Antonio Calderon. I respect him and we get along just great. “What has happened has happened, but all I want to do is play. I understand that you do not change a team who are doing well, and I will have to wait for my chance. It’s great that the team are winning again.” When asked this week about what has happened to him, he told the Island’s press: “I’m trying not to think about it. I have to live in the present. It’s a long season and I know I will get my chance to play here. “But the most important thing is the team, and we are doing great. Four wins and a draw show that the coach is doing the right things.”

Chio break seven-year hitch!

THE small village of Chio, near Guia de Isora, has not had a football team for seven years.

This season, though, backed by Soy del Tete (the CD Tenerife fan shop) in Fanabe Plaza, plus massive support from local Chio businesses and residents a new club has emerged in the

23 September - 29 September 2011

shape of UD Chio, who have much to celebrate after securing their first league win of the season. They won 4-3 last Friday against Eicade, fellow-newcomers to the second regional division, and goals from Moises, Jose Luis, Franci and Gustavo gave the 100-plus crowd in the stand plenty to cheer about. Chio’s

home games will be played on alternate Fridays (KO 9pm) in the Mayato grounds, and the 460 bus from Las Americas will take you to the village. The team’s next challenge is away at San Isidro tomorrow (Saturday), kick-off 7pm. Each week Canarian Weekly will be letting you know how UD Chio get on.

Dreamers caught in a Trap ANOTHER close round of matches has left us with new leaders at the top of Division One. Despite being thrashed at home by Palms Bar on opening night, Trap Door have leapfrogged the champions at the summit.

They needed help from newboy Swampy, who replaced the holidaying Mickey, and clinched the vital rubber against Dreamers. This 6-4 win, combined with draws for Palms and Terrace, sent them top. Palms maintained their unbeaten record with a battling draw at Tasca. Bungalow again lost all his matches, and Palms needed to dig deep to salvage a point after being 5-2 down. Terrace A were also in trouble at home to Bar 180 A. They were 3-0 down and then 5-3 down after Adi completed a hat-trick of defeats on the night as he was sunk by Martin. But the birthday boy (happy 40th!) had a smile on his face as his team notched the last two legs for a draw. Hoops are up to fourth after spanking Atlantis Sharks 9-1 in Adeje. The Sharks are normally rock-solid at home, and Hoops put down a serious marker with the thrashing. Phoenix Knights kick-started their season when they took the Legends’ unbeaten record 7-3, despite Harry losing both his singles. Talking of players losing both matches, Penguin made it five without a win as he failed to help his Summerland Superstars, who lost again. Gaffers A made their home advantage count and the faded former champs are now a sorry 10th. Summerland Allstars were 3-0 up against Bar 180 C, but they had to settle for a point, while Tenerife Hammers A picked up the winning thread by winning 8-2 at Nauta A. Toscales Old Boys won the last two rubbers to pinch a point at home to Target Bar, but remain bottom. Barracdua Bandits made

the long trip to Los Abrigos a winning one as they got the better of Bar La Caña. But the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story. They were quickly 2-0 up but La Caña roared back. They took three of the next four frames to level, before the leaders found their finishing boots. Phoenix Potters were also winning in Los Abrigos last Tuesday. They dug deep to sneak past Nauta B 6-4 after being 5-1 up at one stage. Summerland Elite captain Mark described their draw with Exiles A as “a thrilling contest that ebbed and flowed all the way. It was by far, our toughest match of the season.” Both remain unbeaten and nicely placed. Connors Bar’s 6-4 win at home to Wandabar A means they have won back-to-back matches for the first time in their history, and there were also close wins for Tenerife Hammers C and Market Taverners. Inn The Pink had to settle for a draw at Target Rangers, thanks mainly to a back-inform Claire, who won all three of her matches, including the last game to earn the Rangers a point. There was more girl power when Helen and Sarah both won matches as Barracuda Hunters and Atlantis Crew drew. A plethora of cancellations has given Division Three a lopsided look, but that will not bother Gaffers B, who lead the way. Their sixth win of the season came at fellow frontrunners The Treehouse. Dave’s win saw Gaffers “leaf” The Treehouse with all three points! Exiles B are in chase. They edged past Dragon's Denn 6-4 in a Silencio derby, while Legendary Jokers won their first match, at Sunshine Bar. Lucky Leprechaun drew their third match, this time at home to James Place, while Dos Hermanos had their chances to beat Bull Ring Tavern. But captain Bob lost both his matches to gift the Tavern a point.

Horoscopes of the week Virgo

(August 24th - September 23rd) Unexpected developments in your professional, personal and emotional life boost your status, but don’t think you’ve become infallible. You haven’t, so keep your attitude and ego in check. Don’t allow slick talkers to separate you from your hard-earned cash.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) It will take a lot of effort on your part to keep family relations stable this week, especially if talks about the long-term go from calm to catastrophic. Try to sidestep power struggles because they drain your energy and lead you nowhere. But remember not to over-compensate when things do get back on track. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Rely on your intuition and gut instinct to lead you in the right direction this week. Your psychic antenna is working overtime, so make sure you tune into it. Complications in your personal and professional life can be overcome with straight talking, but let things settle a bit more before making your move. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) The moon in your sign at the start of the week should have stabilised affairs of the heart, but getting children back on your wavelength will take more work. A difference of opinion over money matters churns up emotional disruptions, so try to be more organised over your financial affairs. CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Being co-operative and communicating openly with others is the best way to make progress. You’ll still manage to stay true to your principles, so stop wor-

Page 48

rying that imminent changes will be vast because won’t be. Assume nothing however, and ask plenty of questions when your boss returns from her long, long weekend away. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Mixing money with friends is never a good idea, as you well know, so if things go wrong in the next few days, you’ve only got yourself to blame. Impulsive, daring actions over the weekend thrust you into exciting, liberating experiences and all else will pale into insignificance. Just go for it! LIBRA (September 24thOctober 23rd) Ongoing nit-picking makes it hard to settle your differences with anyone, and your emotional sensitivity over all this squabbling is getting you down. Try to handle these struggles with equanimity to defuse the moods of others. But do keep your opinions to yourself and it will calm down. SCORPIO (October 24thNovember 22nd) Impaired financial judgement could cause money problems if you’re not careful, so tread carefully and double-check all information. Think things through carefully before breaking radically with the past or you may regret it further down the road. Keep expectations realistic. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) Emotional conflicts over money matters

have to be defused as soon as possible, especially if there are travel arrangements involved. Negative news at work leaves you feeling uncertain or confused about your professional direction. But don’t panic as it’s just a temporary situation. CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) If you feel distractions are causing you to run on the spot and get nowhere, it could lead to indecisiveness and lack of confidence in your abilities, So, if it’s at all possible, take a break and start again. Separate fantasy from reality and you’re halfway there. AQUARIUS (January 21stFebruary 19th) Struggles with matters in the home and at work bring unexpected stress, so if you’re ever to find a solution, you’ll need to separate yourself from the problem and think outside the box. Ignore the opinions of others if you can, and focus on the job at hand. PISCES (February 20thMarch 20th) Make decisions and commitments early, when everyone is still in a positive frame of mind, because your colleagues’ enthusiasm will wane as the week progresses. You feel the urge to spend on items which improve your daily routine, and not on luxuries, so go for it. Be practical for a change.
