Money-exchange shops are targeted by masked bandit

Hero shopkeeper shot as he sees off gunman A BRAVE, 58-year-old British businessman, who faced up to an armed robber in his shop, was shot in the arm in Playa de Las Americas on Tuesday.

The frightening incident happened at the money-exchange shop Premier UK Excursions, in Paseo de Las Tosqueras, at the back of the hotel Vulcano. Proprietor Dennis showed enormous courage by standing up to the raider and, ultimately, sending him packing empty-handed. He was taken to the Green Hospital in Las Americas for treatment to a bullet wound in his arm and released shortly afterwards. This incident is, unfortunately, the latest in a series of similar events within the south of Tenerife. Police believe the same person has been responsible each time. He has always been armed, but this is the first occasion he has resorted to firing the hand gun. In the past, he has simply used the weapon to threaten his victims. Recounting the latest incident, Dennis said he had just opened the shop, and was setting up when he saw the assailant approaching. “I saw the guy about to enter the shop,” he said. “I closed the desk, stood up and thought, ‘he’s going to rob me’.” Dennis who by his own admission is not tiny, confronted the robber, who was shouting and took a gun out of a bag. Remarkably, the shopkeeper kept his nerve. He had a closed bottle of bleach on his desk, which he threw at him, but the gunman shot him when Dennis raised his arm. Despite the shock of being wounded, he then threw a leaflet holder at him to put him off further, and the gun fell to the floor, going off again. But Dennis persisted and threw something else at him. With that, the would-be robber picked up his gun

and fled, turning right out of the shop towards Parque Santiago3/5. It is thought he entered the Safari Centre. Dennis, a Brummie who has lived in Tenerife for 12 years and has two offices, said: “Nothing like this has happened to me before, but I’m not shocked. It’s just one of those things.” His attacker, said to be in his 30s, is about 1.75 metres tall. He was wearing a hat, dark glasses and a dust mask. He apparently took a taxi from near the scene and the driver, believed to carry a camera in his vehicle as a warning to fare dodgers, is said to have taken snapshots of his passenger. Soraida Perez, a 31-year-old who works at a bazaar in the shopping centre where Premier is based, said she heard shouts from the shop. “I thought it strange and went to look at what was happening,” she said. “I heard shots when I was in the doorway and saw the bleach bottle flying through the air. I then saw the person fleeing.” The witness, still shocked by the incident, said she did not think twice but chased after the attacker to try to catch him up. Meanwhile, other shopkeepers threw chairs and other objects at the assailant to try to prevent him escaping. At one point, he fell and then someone noticed he was carrying a gun. “At that point, I realised the danger I was in and ran away,” admitted Soraida. Police are well aware that this is at least the third such incident of this kind, this year in the general area. In March, the Travel Shop in Los Cristianos was held up by a gunman and robbed. Then, on 13th July, the gunman struck at the Oasis Money Exchange in the Pasarella commercial centre, also in Los Cristianos. The attacker hit a British female staff member over the head and helped himself to about 1,400 euros before making his escape. The man has been identified by witnesses, but up until now remains on the loose.

Arona welcome for new ONCE director The Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, met this week with the new director of ONCE in Los Cristianos, Maria Candelaria Darias Armas, who is responsible for the whole south region of Tenerife and the island of La Gomera.

ONCE provides services to blind and the visually impaired, focused predominantly on two areas: - support services for personal autonomy: psychosocial support (personal acceptance of visual impairment), comprehensive rehabilitation (visual performance optimization orientation and mobility), communication and access to information (braille and technological devices) and facilitators of personal autonomy (personal care and housework) - support services for social integration, educational care, employment support, promoting cultural, recreational, artistic and sports, and basic social welfare support. Reveron highlighted at the meeting Arona’s commitment in relation to accessibility, something for which the municipality received the prestigious Queen Sofia Accessibility Prize for the work achieved since starting the Comprehensive Accessibility Plan driven by the local government since 2003, with the goal of “building an ‘Arona for All’, ensuring equal opportunities for citizens not only on issues related to the elimination of architectural barriers, but also as regards access to information and new technologies. The Mayor recalled the work done by the local administration in public buildings, transportation, streets and awareness efforts, which have reverted to a stronger commitment from the private sector, especially tourism enterprises, which have adapted their facilities. The Mayor said, “Arona has become a major world tourist destination for people with reduced mobility.” Reveron Gon-

Initially, only physical material will be sold, such as books, music, videos and electronic goods. Over the past year, Amazon has been buying up literature from Spanish bookshops to offer them on its web. That has sorted out the physical problems, but reaching a deal on e-books is proving more difficult for the cut-price company. That is why the Spanish version at www. amazon.es will not have e-books for its Kindle reader - for now, at least. The company is already popular in Spain, where the MRW vans can be seen delivering Amazon packages every day,

Eat, drink, dance and be merry THIS Sunday and Monday (11-12th) sees the second summer festival in the area behind the Las Chafiras agricultural centre, with sports demonstrations, gastronomy, catwalk displays from locals and cultural music, from 9am to 8pm.

Tenerife fashion’s Madrid lift-off BY LU, one of the 40 companies belonging to the Tenerife Fashion Group, has been invited to show its new Honey and Lemon collection at Madrid Fashion Week before returning to Tenerife to prepare its autumn/winter line.

New parrots for Loro Parque LORO PARQUE has added new attractions to its surroundings in the shape of a jungle environment for bright and colourful parrots of endangered species, designed to resemble an authentic tropical rain forest. In addition, a new enclosure has been built for chimpanzees, plus a home for 10 African tortoises

Enlist for Adeje gastronomic fair PARTICIPANTS for Adeje’s second annual promotion of gastronomy should register for the Fair now. Individuals, companies and institutions are all welcome to join in the event, which takes place on 19-24th September at the CDTCA.

Arafo market is in danger ARAFO’S new street market, set up to inject life into the small town, may be in danger of closing following the opposition of local traders.They are objecting to the prime pitch it occupies in front of the Town Hall and the fact that its traders do not have the necessary licences.

Kids will flock to Medano party zalez also noted that “following the effort to remove architectural barriers, we have raised the challenge of working for Accessibility for people with sensory disabilities, something we are moving forward gradually.” Meanwhile, Maria Candelaria Darias showed the willingness of the ONCE

working together with the local council, there are ways to achieve higher levels of accessibility, and cited the implementation of sports activities for disabled people, stressing “the quality of sports facilities in Arona is good, with adapted pools, and even a running track where paralympic athletes train regularly.”

Amazon is getting ready to carve through the Spanish retail sector NEWS that online retailer Amazon is opening in Spain next Thursday (15th Sept) has been welcomed by those who already use its services in the UK and Europe.

News around the Island

and not just for expats. Many Spaniards have been using Amazon to bring lowerpriced electronics to Spain with the minimum of fuss and good guarantees. Items such as cameras are generally cheaper on Amazon than from major Spanish retailers, and it is reckoned that one million Spaniards are already visiting Amazon websites every month. Amazon’s introduction to Spain could have serious implications for the Spanish online and offline markets as well because of its reliability. Buying on-line in the US or the UK is now a regular occurrence and is considered safe, thanks to Amazon. But in Spain, many people do not regard it as the normal way to shop. Come the Amazon revolution, however, and it will surely become the norm in Spain - and in Tenerife, of course!

GUATATIBOA 2011, the children’s party organised by Granadilla Town Hall, takes place tomorrow (Saturday) in the square at El Médano, with games, workshops, music, theatre, a bouncy castle and sports exhibitions.

Ashotel scheme hits the mark ASHOTEL is celebrating the success of an experiment to employ more people in its hotels with a view to improving customer service results, claimed to be a weak point on the Island. The initiative has proved itself in the figures, and Ashotel sees this as an investment in the future and encourages other hotel chains and companies to do the same.

Spud-growers under threat THE traditional sector of potato growers in Tenerife appears to be under threat. Local farmers cannot compete with low prices of imported produce, and their livelihoods could be in danger. But campaigns are set to boost sales and encourage people to help avoid the situation worsening.

Lions get ready to boogie DIG out those Sixties and Seventies outfits and get ready to boogie on down next Saturday (17th September).

Thames tummy

This week your heat just has to go out to David Walliams, who has fallen behind schedule in his charity river swim after coming down with "Thames tummy".

The comedy star is swimming the Thames to raise more than £200,000 for Sport Relief. But, just three days into his challenge he is suffering problems, with a high temperature, vomiting and diarrhoea. He said "I always knew there was a risk that taking in the water could cause problems, but now it's happened it's still hit me really hard. "I was sweating in the night and have been to the toilet. When I heard the total raised had jumped to more than £200,000 it gave me a real boost, as do the thousands of people who have been turning out and cheering. There were so many last night I thought Take That were in a boat behind me. This is already much harder than I thought it would be - but this Thames tummy I've got is making the task seem incredibly difficult and London seems a long way away." The 40-year-old Little Britain star is aiming to swim 140 miles over eight days from Gloucestershire to London.

The BT Sport Relief Challenge: Walliams vs The Thames is being filmed for a documentary to be broadcast in the build-up to the Sport Relief weekend next March. Walliams previously swam the English Channel in 2006, raising £1m in aid of Sport Relief. The celebrity, who was supported by his wife, model Lara Stone, and mother Kathleen as he set off, is asking for people to sponsor him at www.sportrelief.com/walliams. He also wants members of the public to cheer him on from the riverside. A GPS tracker of his progress in available online, while the Twitter feed #Thamesswim shows his planned schedule. BT Sport relief is one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. All the money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world's poorest countries. Sport Relief 2012 is on its way from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March! With over a million people expected to join in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile, there’s no better way to take part in the UK’s biggest year of sport and help to change lives too.

Big Clean Sea campaign bringing home such an important message THE Cabildo’s fifth annual Clean Sea Campaign, which aims to keep the coastline free of rubbish, began on Sunday and is well underway now. Prime targets are Puertito de Guimar, Martiánez Playa, in Puerto de la Cruz, and Candelaria, where the locals and tourists will be educated in the ways of beach maintenance. The campaign also aims to raise awareness among tourists and locals of the importance of protecting and conserving marine life on the beaches and surrounding areas by keeping them free from rubbish and in good condition. A clean area is of such importance to the wildlife and the diversity of marine life and vegetation as well. A discarded cigarette butt, for instance, is not biodegradable and contains harmful, toxic substances which can affect the areas for many years. Regenerated beaches, says Cabildo experts, not only attract fresh tourists

but makes it possible for the release of turtles from the Wildlife Recovery Centre in La Laguna, which tends to around 2,500 animals and birds a year. The Cabildo also points out that unattractive, unclean beaches, together with the deterioration on the landscape are a deterrent to tourists, which adds to the importance of its Clean Sea Campaign each year.

The last four years have seen a total of 22 clean-up actions in various municipalities across the Island, in which more than 2.000 people have been involved in collecting 10 tons of waste. This rubbish included plastic bottles, cigarette butts, cans, plastic bags, and plastic debris, as well as glass bottles and batteries, gas bottles, car parts and even an iron bed!

Volunteering courses The Cabildo of Tenerife, through the training programme Tenerife Solidario, has organised new, free courses, for people interested in volunteering, from September. Training activities are related to emotional intelligence, inter-cultural communication, laughter and voluntary health, development of social projects and promotion of associations and key motivation of the volunteers. It has also provided a special programme to train volunteers in the care of people with autism and promoting voluntary cooperation in sport. Courses are free and have limited places and are made through the Island Centre for Voluntary Organisations. Enrollment is centralised in the Office of Volunteers of the Cabildo of Tenerife (922882325). Representative Cristina Valido, indicates that “the objective is to train as many people as possible during this year. So far it has helped more than 400 persons, and the intention is to reach, if possible, a thousand people. Tenerife Solidario programme proposes free basic training for those who are new to the world of volunteering, as well

as specialised courses for those volunteers who are already provide help. In addition, they also offer management courses, aimed primarily at managers and leaders of voluntary organisations. During the first

seven months of this year, the faculty-offered jointly teaching knowledge and skills to train the volunteers. The courses have focused on different subjects such as marketing strategies applied to an association, ther-

apeutic recreation, social skills, public relations and social networks, recycling and waste, among others. In addition, special attention has been paid to the volunteer training in gender violence and care for drug addicts.

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 cashstrapped 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.

Those old pesetas are still worth cashing in

SPANISH notes and coins worth a fortune can still be found down the backs of sofas and other tuckedaway places throughout the Canaries and the mainland. In fact, it is reckoned that a staggering total of 1.713 billion euros in the old pesetas

currency is still secreted away which, in these financial times of crisis, is nothing short of mind-blowing. At the end of July, the Bank of Spain says there were still 901 million euros in notes, and 812 million euros in coins. It means that only pesatas worth 16 million euros had been exchanged since July 2010.

Surprisingly, you can still exchange the old currency for euros, but the Bank warns that only coins and notes which were legal currency at the introduction of the euro will be accepted. It means the notes issued after 1997, and those dating from 1939 and the Civil War, must be examined to determine their value.

Whale found dead THE body of a dead whale of between 6 and 10 meters long, appeared last Tuesday drifting off the coast of Los Silos, near Garachico. A boat from San Juan was called to move the whale’s body, but due to its size, suffered difficulties. The whale was unfortunately in an advanced state of decomposition. Local divers helped in the rescue, in adverse weather conditions, with the sea being so rough. The salvage operation was finally completed at 10pm. The body of the dead animal was then taken to Arico.

Tourist sector’s looking so healthy in the South, and in the North as well TENERIFE Cabildo’s latest tourist numbers in the South were up by 9% in July - and contributed to a 17% rise in the number of people employed in the hospitality sector. There was a boost for the North as well, with tourist figures shooting up by 13%. It meant that 4,805 new contracts were secured on the Island in July, with a total of 491.735 visitors arriving. Provisional data from the tourism statistics depicts growth in all sectors. Carlos Alonso, Cabildo vice-president and Minister of Tourism, said: “The positive actions in the tourist areas, notably the recovery in the North is satisfying. “We are especially optimistic about the future of Puerto de la Cruz and its potential as a tourist destination.” In terms of source markets, the British in July recorded a healthy increase of 20.5%, adding to total of 164.167 tourists, while Germany’s figure improved by 4.8%, which was equal to 41.903 visitors. There were equally positive performance by the French market (up 31.8%), Italian (13.4%) and Russia (32.6%). Other

plus figures came from the Netherlands (5.4%), Belgian (10.4%) and Ireland (24.4%). Only the Nordic market, with a decline of 4.1% in July, showed a negative response.

Number’s up for King Juan and PM PERSONAL telephone numbers for Spanish King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero were among 250,000plus secret cables from US embassies published by Wikileaks. One cable, dated 30th May 2008 and published by The Guardian, reveals Zapatero’s personal mobile number, and telephone numbers for the Office of the President and the Crisis Cabinet. The document also specifies that “Zapatero does not speak English” and reveals the “24-hour” telephone number for the King’s personal office. Julian Assange, who founded Wikileaks, blamed The Guardian for publishing the cables without prior editing, and without protecting sources. In his first public appearance since the publication of these countless documents, the activist accused the newspaper, with which he had once worked closely, of “negligence” by publishing the encryption code used to send the documents, resulting in their widespread internet publication.

Ryanair’s fallen foul of Spanish Air Safety rule THE Spanish Air Safety Agency has insisted that Ryanair must compensate an adult passenger and a four-year-old girl for refusing to allow the child to board an internal flight.

The man had bought two return tickets for the Valencia-Palma (Mallorca) route in March, but the airline’s Valencia ground staff refused to allow the child on the flight with just her ‘Libro de Familia’ as identification. She did not have a DNI identity document, and Ryanair staff argued that their internal regulations state that children under 16 who travel with an adult must have an ID document with photograph to travel within countries of the European Economic Area. The Air Safety Agency considered Ryanair’s deci-

sion ‘unjustified’to refuse to allow the child on board, and the airline has been ordered to pay 250 euros compensation to both passengers. The company must also refund the cost of their tickets and cover any other costs they may have incurred on travel or accommodation after their failure to board the flight. Europa Press notes that, under EU regulations, each member state must decide through its National Aviation Security Plan on the basic rules for security for air travel within its territory, which must be followed by all airlines operating at its airports. Spain’s regulations specify that Spanish passengers under the age of 14 are exempt from carrying identification but are the responsibility of the adult with whom they are travelling.

However, Ryanair said after the decision that it would not accept the ‘Libro de Familia’ for children without an ID document as it carried no photographic ID. The airline reminded all Spanish passengers on Tuesday that they must present a type of identification acceptable to Ryanair, as agreed during the process of purchasing of tickets before payment is made. Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said that the terms and conditions accepted by passengers when making reservations, “clearly indicate that an identity document with photograph, a passport or a national identity document is required, and that one of these documents is required of all passengers, including children”.

Telefonica’s digital London base TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant Telefonica is planning to strengthen its digital business, and blend the Spanish operation into its European division.

Company chairman César Alierta says Telefonica will open a new London headquarters for the digital expansion, with suboffices in Madrid, Sao Paulo, Silicon Valley and other strategic Asian sites. Six years ago, Spanish income for the group was still 51.9% of the total, but since then the company has expanded its operations in Latin America, and pur-

9 September - 15 September 2011

chased the British company O2. Last year, Latin America and Europe (excluding Spain) represented 68% of the company’s income. Telefonica is also aware that it will have to lower prices to compete with the smartphone application Whatsapp, which allows instant messages to be sent between mobiles at no additional cost than their monthly internet access. In its 2010 report, the National Communications Commission complained of the “resistance” by telephone companies to reduce the cost of SMS messages.

Activists probe ‘cruel’ zoos

Local News

Illiteracy is spelled out throughout the world! THERE are over 840,000 illiterate people in Spain, more than two-thirds of whom are women who simply cannot read or write.

True, there was a 3% overall drop from last year, but that probably helps to demonstrate why there is an annual International Literacy Day, which was celebrated yesterday (Thursday) by numerous charitable organisations around the world. Many of the 571,600 illiterate women in Spain are over 70, and the improvement in reading and writing over the past year has been particularly significant among the younger generations. Yet the Spanish statistics

COMPLAINTS about animals’ living conditions in Spanish zoos have led to the publication of an investigation by international animal rights organisation Igualdad Animal (IA). These are the first formal complaints from the activists to the authorities, although they denounced the treatment of minks on a mink farm unofficially last year. The zoos under investigation are those in Madrid, Barce-

lona, Castellar (Jaén), Córdoba, Guillena (Sevilla), the Zoobotánico in Jerez and the Bioparc and Río Safari Park in the Valencian Community. Those with the worst results were at Madrid, Guillena and Castellar. According to IA spokespersons Sharon Núñez and Javier Moreno, self-harming and violence between animals in the same enclosure are just two aspects of animal behaviour. And these, they say “are the result of the stress of being confined in enclosures which

are too small or unsuitable for their needs”. Inappropriate visitor behaviour has also been reported, with all kinds of objects being thrown into enclosures, or glass walls being banged to frighten the animals. Keepers have also been reported for mistreating animals, especially during attempts to make them “perform”. The IA activists have produced considerable video evidence of cruelty, including recordings made with a hidden camera that demon-

strate the agony and subsequent death of a lioness, when a keeper at the Guillena Zoo refused to pay for a veterinary visit. And the IA insist that zoos have no educational function since “animals in zoos display the same behaviour as any animal in captivity and, therefore, distort a child’s view of the animal, rather than bringing it closer to them”. The activists’ aim is to have all zoos closed down, and the investigation will add clout to their reasoning.

are still a world apart from those in other countries around the globe, where over 50% of adults are unable to read or write. These include the inhabitants of Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Haiti, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Sierra Leone. UNESCO, which launched the annual illiteracy day in 1966, estimates that there are 793 million illiterate people in the world, most of whom are women (506 million) and girls. These shocking figures highlight the importance of literacy for individuals and societies, and yesterday was an occasion for serious deliberation and action, especially since it is estimated that one in five adults is still illiterate.

Chemist relocation The chemist which was in CC Plaza del Duque has now moved over the road, opposite the Ideal Jewellers under the Hotel Anthelia on street level. They have also extended their opening hours to Monday through to Sunday from 10am to 10pm offering 8 languages. The new premises are bigger so it means room for more products and parking is very easy.

Marine reserve project Granadilla City Council has reformulated the marine reserve project in Los Abrigos.

The conditions set by the Ministry of Environment for the first proposal were submitted by the previous local government. They proposed to sink a ship to create an artificial reef, which was rejected by Madrid, according to the Councillor for the Environment, Jacob Donate. The new document highlights the interest of the Oceanographic Institute of the Canaries to make, within the reservation, a deposit of octopus and cuttlefish, given the quality of the waters. The strip of sea that is protected is located in Los

Abrigos, and will be 500 meters long and 200 wide, on a ridge of basaltic lava. According to the Mayor, they have been warned that "the location was not described on the map, there has been pre-feasibility studies, and memory was scarce, so we have been asked to clarify what needs to be protected in this area, how they define this and what benefits it brings to the municipality." The new municipal government wants to link this initiative (promoted in the past term by the then Mayor of the Environment, Antonio Cabrera) to a larger project which seeks to identify areas of interest for diving in Granadilla, to protect and

9 September - 15 September 2011

promote this sport as a source of income. The proposed marine reserve would be just one of the most ideal places for diving, ten are considered appropriate in the coastal area of Granadilla (eight in Los Abrigos, one in El Medano and another in Montaña Pelada). Los Abrigos, according to Donate, does not have a company dedicated to diving, after closing the existing one due to "lack of support" so the council will facilitate proposals to revitalise this activity, thriving in El Medano and Las Galletas . The marine reserve was a claim by Ben-Magec Ecologists in Action and is supported by the cooperative of fishermen.

Teachers protesting already THE five main teachers’ trade unions this week announced industrial action and a series of official protests against cuts being made in education in some Spanish regions.

Various sources within the trade unions say a manifesto will be circulated in support of teachers in Madrid and Galicia, where strikes have already been called, and in Castilla-La Mancha and Navarra, where protests are being organised. There are no plans yet, however, to call a national strike, although it has not been ruled out should the situation deteriorate during the academic

year, which is just beginning. The trade unions have been collecting signatures and are organising a simultaneous nationwide protest day in defence of the state education

system, with demonstrations outside the regional ministries of education. The increased teaching hours staff have been forced to accept in these autono-

mous communities will, according to the unions, seriously compromise the amount of time they can spend with their forms. That’s because they also have to contend with departmental meetings, parents’ meetings, preparing classes, correcting exams and homework - and even furthering their own education and training in some cases. They will still work the regulation 37.5 hours a week, but each teacher will spend more hours in the classroom, which means that around 3,000 staff will be axed in Madrid and 3,400 in Castilla-La Mancha.

Designer Galliano found guilty of racism in Paris British fashion designer John Galliano has been found guilty by a Paris court over racist and anti-Semitic rants at people in a cocktail bar. He faced charges of "casting public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity" after two incidents in the French capital. Galliano was given suspended fines of 4,000 euros (£3,480) on one count and 2,000 euros (£1,740) on the second charge. He was also ordered to pay 1 euro (£0.87) in symbolic damages to each of the plaintiffs in the case. Outside court after the verdict was announced, the lawyer for the designer said: "There will not be any fine to be paid and it is a fair and wise decision by the tribunal. "Mr Galliano wants to apolo-

gise and he continues his treatment to be cured. Galliano faced a maximum fine of £19,800 and, if pursued by prosecutors for a custodial sentence, a jail term of up to six months. In the first incident, in October last year, the famous fashionista was found to have verbally abused 47-year-old English language teacher Fatiha Oummedour. He subjected her to a series of expletive-laced racist and anti-Jewish remarks in the trendy Cafe La Perle cocktail bar near his home. In the same bar, in February this year, he unleashed a similar tirade against museum curator Geraldine Bloch, 35, and companion, 41-year-old Philippe Virgitti. Galliano was found to have repeatedly called Ms Bloch "dirty whore" and also "dirty Jewish face", as she sipped cocktails on the bar's outside terrace.

WE DO WHAT OTHERS CAN’T!

Page 10

Ms Bloch said the incident lasted for 45 minutes. Four days later, as Galliano reported to police for questioning, an internet video emerged of a third alleged incident. Once again, in the Cafe La Perle bar near Galliano's home, he was filmed on a mobile phone apparently slurring the words: "I love Hitler." The film also showed him telling two Italian women their mothers and forefathers should have been gassed. Neither of the women pressed charges and Galliano was not on trial for those remarks. But the video was shown to jurors by the prosecution as evidence of the designer's drunken behaviour. Galliano denied being antiSemitic or racist, but claimed to have no recollection of the events because of his "triple addiction" to alcohol, Valium and sleeping pills. He said the addictions were brought about by the creative stresses of his job. The designer told the

court in June: "I would crash after every creative high, and the alcohol would help me to escape. "My body was becoming used to the pills, so my intake increased to an amount that I actually can't remember how many I was taking." Things got so bad that he "couldn't go to work unless I had taken some Valium", he said. Galliano apologised for the "sadness" his behaviour caused and has since sought treatment for his addictions. Outside court, Galliano's lawyer added that the designer intended to now rebuild his career. "He is looking forward to a future with understanding and forgiveness," he said. Widely-credited with revitalising the Christian Dior brand as its creative director since 1996, the fashion house sacked Galliano last March citing its zero-tolerance policy on racism. He was also fired from his own eponymous label John Galliano, which is majorityowned by Dior.

Beach fun again after the chaos IT was business - and fun - as usual at El Medano beach just two days after it had been swamped by tons of seaweed. The chaos, which drove sunbathers from beaches all along the south and southeast resorts, followed abnormally high tides which caused chaos everywhere. The beach footpath between Las Galletas and El Fraile was also deemed impassable as the tides swept shingle and sand over the retaining wall there. And several beaches all the way up to Candelaria and beyond felt the full force of

the sea as the waves crashed down relentlessly. But the local maintenance crews, responsible for looking after the beaches in their respective municipalities, performed magnificently to restore them to normal in next to no time. Plans are already afoot in some areas to strengthen sea walls and even the foundations of some buildings affected by the unusual conditions. They were caused by the coincidental astronomical positions of the earth, new moon and the sun which, apparently, occur every 13 years or so.

Two survivors of plane crash in fight for life A doctor has said the condition of the two survivors of the Russian air crash that almost wiped out an entire international ice hockey team is "very grave".

The Yak-42 plane carrying the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl squad crashed shortly after take-off on Wednesday. A total of 27 players died, as well as the team's two coaches, seven club officials and seven flight crew. Russian player Alexander Galimov survived the crash along with a flight crew member. However, the 26-year-old winger suffered burns to 90% of his body and remains in a critical condition in hospital. The other survivor, flight attendant Alexander Sizov, is also fighting for his life in intensive care. Chief doctor of Yaroslavl's Solovyov Hospital Dr Alexander Degyatryov, who is part of the medical team treating the pair said: "The state of health of both of them is very grave. But there is still some hope."

Airport body scanners spare blushes

World News

Pancake restaurant shooting in the USA

Airport security checks are set for a shake-up thanks to full-body scanners that prevent guards from seeing naked images of passengers. Previous systems tested in UK airports produced pictures that revealed more bodily detail than some would have been comfortable with. The latest scanner, which is being tested at Heathrow, uses radio waves to create a cartoon-like outline, with large yellow boxes highlighting any suspicious items. It is thought the changes could bring about the end of metal detectors and patdown searches in airports. And, for the first time, the scanner allows security staff to show the images to passengers who are asked to go through them. BAA, which owns six UK airports, introduced full-body scanners after the failed bomb attack by Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit in 2009.

9 September - 15 September 2011

Four people have been killed and at least nine seriously wounded after a shooting at a restaurant in Carson City, Nevada. A gunman opened fire shortly before 9am at a branch of the popular chain International House of Pancakes (IHop), before taking his own life. Officers who arrived at the scene found at least five people injured in the car park, Carson City Sheriff’s spokesman Commander Jack Freer said. More victims were then found inside the restaurant.

Two of those killed and three of those wounded were Nevada National Guard members in uniform, authorities said. “The suspect was found down with a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Mr Freer added. The wounded customers were been taken to a nearby hospital. Gary Gamba, who works opposite the restaurant, said: “We just heard basically a string of gunshots, probably five to seven, back to back to back to back. “Then there was probably 30-second delay, then an automatic weapon fired, probably 20 to 30 shots.”

Court filming ban to be overturned

Filming in courts will be allowed to improve public understanding of the legal system, Justice Secretary Ken Clarke has announced. It will be the first time that cameras will be allowed in courts other than the Supreme Court. But filming will only be allowed for the judge’s summary remarks. The ban on filming victims, witnesses, offenders and jurors inside court will remain. Mr Clarke said broadcasters will be allowed to screen footage of judgements in England and Wales for the first time, as part of “unprecedented plans to improve transparency”. Plans have also been announced to publish information about the performance of courts to enable members of the public to see how their courts are working. The breakthrough comes after the Head of Sky News, who has spearheaded a campaign to televise court cases, wrote an open letter to Mr Clarke. John Ryley told him the public would have better understood controversial sentences

Page 12

passed on rioters, had judges’ remarks been televised. Broadcasters have been pressing for cameras to be allowed into courts for years. At present cameras - including video cameras - are banned from courts in England and Wales by section 41 of the Criminal Justice Act 1925. The one exception is the Supreme Court where, for the past two years, cameras have been allowed to film proceedings. Mr Clarke told Sky News he would first look at televising parts of the Court of Appeal and then go on to crown courts. He said: “There’s no good reason for not allowing people to see the judge, hear the sentence in the judge’s own words, with his own explanation... “We are going to proceed cautiously and I think the obvious place to start is the Court of Appeal but I am looking at going on to crown courts as well.” He went on: “What we need is public information, public confidence and above all transparency in the way the

system works... “What we don’t want is theatre. We don’t want to alter the behaviour or conduct of the trial. We want to encourage people to have confidence in it.” I find it quite difficult to think of any arguments against doing it. Sadiq Khan MP, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, said: “I welcome the announcement that certain aspects of court proceedings will be televised. “Allowing the broadcast of judges’ sentencing remarks could make the sentencing process more transparent and understandable. “However it will be extremely important to ensure that careful controls are in place to protect jurors, victims and witnesses. “We do not support the televising of anything that might make jurors, victims and witnesses vulnerable to intimidation.” In January 2010, Mr Ryley announced a campaign to get TV cameras into other courts, which he said would include legal challenges to the current ban on cameras in court.

McDonalds add calorie info to all their menus McDonald’s will this week introduce calorie information to their menus throughout all its 1,200 UK restaurants. People will be able to see how many calories are in their burger, salad, Happy Meal or milkshake. The restaurant group joins several other food chains which are signed up to the calorie labelling pledge, including KFC, Pizza Hut, Pret a Manger and JD Wetherspoon. A Department of Health spokesman said: “Research shows that calorie labelling makes people more aware of the energy content of their foods and does influence choices. This move supports the principles we believe are important: giving our custom-

ers clear information to help them make decisions that are right for them and provide a choice on our menu. Jill McDonald, chief executive and president of McDonald’s UK “So with McDonald’s serving three million meals every day in 1,200 restaurants, this will have a huge effect on the high street and will help people to make healthier choices when they are eating out.” Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: “One in six meals are now eaten outside the home and for those meals we often have no idea how many calories we are eating.” He said the policy would help people “spot those hidden calories in their favourite foods and keep an eye on their waistlines.”

The controversial gay blood ban to be lifted

Hostile border between rivals seen from space

Gay men will soon be able to donate blood after the Government moved to lift donor restrictions across the UK. A lifetime ban was put in place in the UK in the 1980s as a response to the spread of Aids and HIV. But the Department of Health has said men who have not had homosexual sex within a year will now be able to donate as of November 7. The move comes after recommendations were made to change the restrictions following a review by the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (sabto) earlier this year. The committee considered the risk of infection being transmitted in blood, attitudes of potential donors in complying with selection criteria and scientific improvements in the testing of donated blood. Their advice was accepted by the health ministers in England, Scotland and Wales. The National Aids Trust has welcomed the changes. The organisation tweeted: "NAT welcomes the lifting of the lifetime blood ban for gay men and the new evidence-based approach." Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said the new policy was a "big improvement on the existing discriminatory rules". But he added it fell short of lifting the ban on gay men who always used condoms.

"Most gay and bisexual men do not have HIV and will never have HIV. If they always have safe sex with a condom, have only one partner and test HIV negative, their blood is safe to donate, " he said. "They can and should be allowed to help save lives by becoming donors." Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) national director Keith Thompson said: "We are pleased that this new donor selection criteria has been made possible by the most up to date scientific advances in screening and testing." While Public Health Minister Anne Milton said: "Blood donations are a lifeline,

9 September - 15 September 2011

and many of us would not have loved ones with us today if it was not for the selfless act of others. "Appropriate checks based on robust science must be in place to maintain this safety record and the committee's recommendation reflects this. "It is important that people comply with all donor selection criteria, which are in place to protect the health of both donors and transfusion recipients." Stringent blood donor testing has meant there has been no documented transmission of a blood-born virus in the UK since 2005, with no HIV transmission since 2002.

An image of the earth taken from the international Space Station has picked up the border between hostile neighbours India and Pakistan. The border fence, which is floodlit along its length for surveillance and security purposes, can clearly be seen from space. The nuclear rivals have fought three wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947. The 2008 terror attacks

Mumbai which left 166 people dead severely strained already brittle relations between India and Pakistan. India blamed the Pakistanbased terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) for the attack. The LeT is one of several militant groups fighting for the divided region of Kashmir to become part of Pakistan. Some groups want independence for the region, which has been racked by a deadly insurgency since 1989.

Childcare in the UK is the Lab chimps laugh and ‘most expensive in world’ hug after being freed The emotional moment a group of chimpanzees saw daylight for the first time after being kept in a laboratory for their whole lives has been caught on film. The video shows the animals edging out of the door hesitantly at first and looking curiously up at the sky. But they then appear to celebrate their new found freedom by hugging each other and laughing. The 38 chimps were taken from their mothers shortly after they were born and kept in a research facility in Austria. They were used for tests based on diseases such as HIV and hepatitis and kept in isolation. They were rescued in 1997 after the pharmaceutical company

behind the research was sold and taken to a farm where keepers have since tried to reintroduce them to the outside world.

It is only now that experts felt the time was right and the chimps were ready to experience fresh air.

Yahoo boss Carol Bartz sacked over the phone Britain’s poorest families are turning down jobs or considering leaving work because they can’t afford childcare, according to a new survey.

4,000 parents responded to research by charities Save the Children and Daycare Trust. The study found that parents in the UK spend almost a third of their income on childcare, more than anywhere else in the world. 41% of families said the cost of childcare is on a par with mortgage or rent payments, of those families in severe poverty nearly half have cut back on food to afford childcare, and nearly 58% said they were or would be no better off working once childcare is paid for. The charities said cuts to working tax credit have hit families struggling in severe poverty, and estimate that it’s added an average £500 a year on the childcare bill of low income families. A quarter of parents, regardless of income, said they’re in debt due to the cost of childcare. “The Government is undermining its own ‘make work pay’ policy by not funding the costs of childcare for the poorest families”, says Sally

Page 16

Copley, head of poverty at Save the Children. “Childcare in the UK is amongst the most expensive in the world and families on low incomes simply don’t earn enough to cover the costs and are being priced out of work as a result. “The recent cut to the working tax credit has only made this worse with many parents realising they are no better off working and they and their children remain trapped in poverty”. “Being able to work and be financially independent is in the interests of both families and our wider society”, adds Anand Shukla, acting chief executive of Daycare Trust, “yet as our survey shows, parents are being forced out of work as a direct result of how expensive childcare is. “If you want welfare reform to ensure that work does pay for low income families, then you need high-quality childcare provision that is affordable for parents”. Kristina Oberhuber, 39, from North London, was hoping to return to work after having her second child. She’s self employed in marketing, but was shocked to find that childcare in Haringey would cost her around £1,600 a month. In her na-

tive Sweden, where it’s heavily subsidised, it would be just £200. “It makes me very angry, says the 39 year old, “when I grew up in Sweden I never saw anyone having problems, no women, no mothers having problems going back to work, it was just expected that you would do that, it was easy to do it. “When I came here and had kids here I’ve realised there’s a totally different scenario here and I hope that I will be able to find work and be able to pay for childcare, but I don’t know what the future holds right now”. The charities said they are calling on the Government to increase the amount they plan to spend on childcare support under the new Universal Credit in a bid to prevent low income families from being priced out of work and into poverty. The Government says under Universal Credit, which aims to simplify the welfare system, they will invest at least the same amount of money into childcare as in the current system. A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said: “We are working closely with the Treasury and other interested groups to ensure we get this right.”

Carol Bartz has been sacked as the chief executive of Yahoo in a phone call after failing to lift the company out of stagnation. It is thought outspoken Ms Bartz, who had been in the position since 2009, was fired from the internet company on Tuesday. In a two-line email sent to employees, the 62-year-old said: "I am very sad to tell you that I've just been fired over the phone by Yahoo's chairman of the board. "It has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you only the best going forward." After the announcement,

shares in Yahoo jumped 6% in after-hours trading to $13.72 (£8.60), from a close of $12.91 (£8.09) on the Nasdaq. The stock was trading around $12 (£7.52) in January 2009, when Ms Bartz joined Yahoo, hoping to engineer a turnaround for a company then slowly losing market share. In January 2000, near the end of the dot com bubble, the stock traded at more than $125 (£78.32) a share. Yahoo remains one of the most popular destinations on the web, but the company is facing increasing competition from the social networking website Facebook and continuing

pressure from Google. Ms Bartz, who still had over a year left on her contract, received some credit inside the company for overhauling the organisational structure and challenging practices she thought were slowing things down. The company generated a profit of more than $1bn (£625m) last year. The decision to fire her was unanimously agreed by Yahoo's eight independent directors late last week, according to a person close to the company. Chief financial officer Tim Morse will step in as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent leader.

Power of Social Media By Christopher Pennington, Capecan Business Centre WHAT’S all the fuss? Social Media is a fad … a flashin-the-pan phase that will soon die out. Believe that and it’s your business that will be dying out, and quicker than you think because Social Media is the fastest-growing marketing market as it costs very little, or is free. Let’s say you have just opened up a new hair salon. You’ve put in time developing your brand. You’ve spent money placing ads in local papers and publications. You even got a local writer to feature you in her weekly column. You open up shop expecting droves of shaggy-haired folk to come charging through your door. Problem is, when you open, things didn’t go exactly as planned. A few people show up - but not as many as you’d hoped. Since you’re a small business owner, you can’t really go back to your investors or the bank to get more money for marketing. You have to wait until you are able to generate enough income to spend more. This is a terrible trap to fall into. One week into opening, you’re stuck. Not exactly the posi-

tion you hoped you’d be in, Sound familiar? Read on. Let’s rewind the tape. You’re opening up a brand-new hair salon with a unique brand and idea. Only this time, you start by investing your time into targeted social media. You: *Get a Facebook Page, Twitter Profile, YouTube account, and a Linked In and blogger accounts. *Spend the month before you open growing your community. You engage with potential customers on Twitter and Facebook by running localised searches for people in your area. *Post videos and pictures to your YouTube account of you getting the salon ready for opening day, ask the community for design ideas for your salon. The best idea will be implemented and the winner will receive free haircuts for life! Do you think you might just get a few people to follow you? You notice that as you spend more time on these networks, more people are talking to you and you’re expanding your reach. One month before the grand opening, you start running a contest. Your Internet audience is

9 September - 15 September 2011

guaranteed to love feeling a part of your business. You mention that your opening night will be on, whatever date, and all are welcome to attend. There will be free champagne and nibbles, you ask attendees to come with a wacky hairdo, and you and your staff will judge who has the wackiest hairdo. The winner and his/her partner are in for a weekend for two in a local spa and hotel, courtesy of you. The hotel manager is guaranteed to attend as you are promoting his business in your marketing leading up to the event. You team up with a local, trendy wine bar and make sure your after-party happens there, further expanding your local contact base. After the opening day, your Social Media marketing efforts continue to pay off as people talk about your salon to their friends, upload photos of the night, thank you for going to the effort and inviting them, and your brand starts to grow through word of mouth. You’ve even started a Haircut of the Month club, where the top vote gets a free do for the next

month, you’ll find people come in for some amazing styles and post them to your Social Media page. Your reservations book is filling up, and all because you spent a few hours with some Social Media tools. This is where advertising in the newspaper and on radio will really pay off for you if you do specific marketing, offer a discount coupon for people that visit your website or Social Media page and download the discount coupon. Get the local Dj to come down for a makeover and have the radio and newspaper run an article on your business in the next edition.

This is much better than just “advertising” as you are now building up a rapport in your local community and receiving endorsements all the way along. Branding through Social Media is an area you do not want to miss out on. The best thing about Social Media is you don’t have to be a new business; you can do a Social Media launch for your business, be creative, make it fun, and watch your following grow And if you are too busy to do it yourself, let Capecan Business Centre conduct your marketing plan. We roll all of our services into one, creating great value, and exceptional service for you.

Dogs enjoy lots of action on Accion’s Sunday walk ACCION Del Sol supporters staged an excellent fund-raising walk with their dogs, and some from the refuge, on Sunday. It took place between Los Cristianos and the Bahia Del Duque hotel in Adeje and attracted a 30-plus crowd, who enjoyed a gentle stroll with lots of stops for water and chats to people about the rescue centre and its inmates. It was great fun for all, and their four-legged friends, and Marion, who runs the Granadilla-based sanctuary, says a big

thank-you to all participants and their donations. The 12 rescue dogs involved in the early-evening walk all had a fantastic time, and thanks also go to Mike and Manuella Hammer, from Tee Candy, for designing and donating the T-shirts. The refuge is almost full. so please come along to Accion del Sol if you are looking to adopt a dog. There are so many pooches being taken in by the refuge from the local authorities.

THE Sounds of the Sixties and Seventies afternoon to raise money for K9 next Saturday (17th Sept) has been switched to the Heritage Bar in Los Cristianos. It follows the sudden closure of the original venue, but the event starts at 3pm and goes on just the same, with Aidy Evans compering and Live Arico’s Suzie Q singing Motown hits from the Seventies. The Heritage Bar is at the San Marino apartments behind the bus station and, in addition to the music, there will be various stalls. These will feature books, jewellery and K9 merchandising, and there will be a giant raffle with a host of prizes, and a general knowledge quiz.

THIS week’s picture for the Pets Portrait Competition is of Molly and Mia, which is absolutely gorgeous.

Doc Martin Monday 12th September, ITV 9pm A brand new series - the drama about a London GP who moves to a sleepy Cornish village.

Martin Clunes returns in the title role, and he is joined by regulars Caroline Catz, Ian McNeice and Joe Absolom alongside guest stars Joanna Scanlan and Robert Daws. In the first episode, Martin finds himself struggling to come to terms with fatherhood. Before he knew that estranged partner Louisa (Catz) was pregnant, he had planned to resume his high-flying career as a consultant in London – and he has already given up his surgery to newly qualified GP Dr Di Dibbs (Scanlan). But now his new son has arrived, and with him dramatic changes for both Martin and Louisa. Meanwhile, Dr Dibbs is excited at the prospect of moving into her first surgery, but Martin begins to have doubts about her competency after she misdiagnoses a patient and hands out prescriptions for inappropriate medication. She even misdiagnoses her own illness – which almost proves fatal. Dr Dibbs comes to realise that she is not up to the job, and Martin agrees to take over at the surgery until a replacement GP can be found. As Martin tries to deal with all the upheaval, he is unprepared for a devastating blow when sad news arrives of Aunt Joan’s death.

Canarian Weekly Choice

Little England ITV 8pm ITV1 presents a documentary series which follows some of the thousands of Brits who have upped sticks and moved to France. A recent official study estimated that around 140,000 Britons have made the move across the channel, and one of the most popular locations for these expats is the Dordogne region in the south west of the country – in fact, the area is so popular that it has been nicknamed ‘Dordogneshire’. Although

many of these people moved to experience a different way of life, some still miss aspects of British culture – although they may be glad to have left the climate behind. The series looks at some of the small communities of Brits who are enjoying their new lives in France – and who are bringing Britain with them. They have set up cricket teams, opened tea shops and even begun running a fish and chip van

in this very French rural location. The programme follows some wonderful characters and hears some fascinating stories. In the first episode, the show meets Dave and Helen Mansfield from Sheffield who operate the fish and chip van, named The Dordogne Chippy, and expats Nick Deane and Monica Walker who organise weddings at the stunning Chateau Pitray on the banks of the Dordogne River.

BBC ONE 9.00-10.00pm The Queen has three official residences: the best known, Buckingham Palace; the oldest, Windsor Castle; and the most romantic, Palace of Holyroodhouse. Among the few working royal palaces in the world today, they serve as both family homes and as the setting for the business of Monarchy. Each has its own distinctive story – long histories that reflect good and bad times, triumph and tragedy and, of course, the lives of some of our most memorable kings and

Page 28

queens. But they all share certain features – incredible collections of treasures that reflect both the tastes of their occupants and the artistic development of the nation, and architecture that has evolved across the centuries to meet the needs of different ages, reflecting the story of Britain and its people like no other buildings. The first episode in the series looks at Buckingham Palace. It may be just about the most famous building in the

world, but its story is much less familiar. Fiona Bruce reveals how England’s most spectacular palace emerged from a swampy backwater in just 300 years. The journey of discovery takes her from the sewers of London to the magnificent State Rooms; from a home for camels and elephants to the artistic brilliance of c18th-century Venice; and from a prince’s Chinese fantasy to the secret of how the Palace’s glittering chandeliers are cleaned today.

Canarian Weekly Choice Mayday Mayday Tuesday 13th September - ITV 7.30pm Brand new documentary series following the men and women of the RNLI. These volunteers operate lifeboats all round Britain’s coastline, ready to come to the aid of those in trouble on the water. The programme features incidents from all over the UK, using footage from the crews’ state-ofthe-art helmet and boat cameras. This unique view of the lifeboat crews on active duty forms the basis of

the stories and lets viewers experience for themselves what the RNLI volunteers see as they attend emergency callouts at all times of day. While on holiday at Torbay, Keith Wilkinson from Yorkshire slips on some rocks and wakes up in the sea with a serious head wound, so the RNLI crew must rush him to safety and stabilise him before he is taken away by air ambulance. Two miles out to sea, David and Anne Brumitt

realise that their motor cruiser is rapidly filling with water. When the Plymouth lifeboat crew arrive, they have less than five minutes to save the stricken vessel. In Dunbar, Scotland, Susie Donnelly and her three young daughters go for a seaside picnic, but a family day out turns to disaster when they realise that the spot they have picked has become cut off by the highest tide of the year.

71 Degrees North - ITV 9pm Brand new series of the extreme adventure competition in which a group of hardy celebrities embark upon an incredible journey through an icy wilderness.

Loose Woman Lisa Maxwell, actor Sean Maguire, Olympic gold medal-winning skeleton racer Amy Williams, presenters Angellica Bell and Rav Wilding, TV gardener Charlie Dimmock, actress Brooke Kinsella and celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke. Who has got what it takes to battle the elements and make it to the end of the competition? In the first episode, the contestants arrive in Norway and split into two teams before taking on their

first challenge: a dog sled race to their camp. After a blizzard, one team stay snug in a ready-built camp while the others struggle without. In the following days, the stars compete in an avalanche training drill and face the daunting task of swimming in the freezing waters of a Norwegian fjord – in just their normal swimwear. After the swim, the celebrities vote for someone to leave the expedition – who will be eliminated first?

Missing Millions - ITV 9pm Paul Heiney and Melanie Sykes present a brand new four-part series in which they try to reunite people with their forgotten fortunes. £15 billion is lying unclaimed in Britain’s bank vaults, and Paul, Melanie, genealogist Nick Barratt and the team are out to help people get their share. From pensions and life insurance to shares, dividends and money put aside for a rainy day, there is a huge amount of capital

waiting to be claimed. In the first episode, Melanie goes to Morecambe to find the rightful owner of a £13,000 savings plan which has been sitting unclaimed for 20 years. The plan was set up by Irene L Schofield, but records show that there were two women with that name living in the same town and born in the same year. Luckily, Mel is able to identify the right Irene and track down her heirs. She also surprises

single mum Amy, who is shocked to find out that her grandfather set up a savings policy when she was born which she knew nothing about. Meanwhile, Paul delves back in time to find out why John and Rose King set up a life assurance ‘penny policy’ in 1947. He tells their granddaughter Shirley what John went through as a lineman in the Royal Signal Corp during World War II - and what Rose faced on the home front.

The Body Farm Tara Fitzgerald and Keith Allen star in The Body Farm – BBC One’s new original forensic crime drama series. Dr Eve Lockhart is one of Britain’s leading forensic pathologists and runs a state-of-the-art forensic research facility called The Body Farm with her business partner, Mike Phillips. Theirs is the only facility in the country using real human body donors to examine the complex and fascinating journey the body goes through as it decays and returns to the earth. When Eve gets a call from DI Craig Hale asking for her help to investigate an unusual crime scene, she sees an opportunity to bring much-needed funding to

The Body Farm, but her decision to work with the police on real crime scenes will take her team out of their comfort zone. The team includes Rosa Gilbert and Oscar “Oggy” Traynor, who are both gifted young scientists but their previous experience is strictly academic. They quickly discover that dealing with real people who are suffering in the aftermath of crimes is a lot messier than they expected. Eve and the team encounter a crime scene in a derelict tower block which is both disgusting and fascinating. Human remains are splattered all over the walls of a small flat. They soon find

9 September - 15 September 2011

evidence that local teenagers have been using the tower for wild parties. The team begin to suspect that the human remains are connected to the attempted suicide of a young girl weeks before. Using all the cutting-edge techniques they have been developing on The Farm, Eve and the team discover the cause of the blast which destroyed the bodies of two young men, and uncover the victims’ secrets. Tara Fitzgerald plays Dr Eve Lockhart; Keith Allen plays DI Hale; Mark Bazeley plays Mike; Wunmi Mosaku plays Rosa; and Finlay Robertson plays Oggy.

The Bomb Squad For the first time ever, the Ministry of Defence has allowed a documentary team access to The British Counter IED Task Force – the men and women whose job it is to find and defuse Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan. The Bomb Squad, intimate and observational in style, is full of revelations – what an IED looks like, what it’s like to risk your life as a highly trained operator or as a young searcher, and what it’s like to be the family left behind wondering if their loved ones will come home. Bomb Disposal Operator Adam is halfway through his six-month tour

10.35pm

of Afghanistan. Over the past weeks Adam and his team have cleared 17 IEDs from a compound and the route outside it, so that it can be used as an army base. Captured on helmet camera, viewers see what Adam sees as he is standing over the bomb which could kill him if he makes one wrong move. It’s estimated more than 1,000 IEDs are dug into the ground in Afghanistan every month. These crude, homemade bombs, hidden underfoot or beside routes, killed or wounded almost 8,500 coalition troops in 2010. They are the No. 1 killer of British troops in Afghanistan.

7:00 ��The One Show

Spinosaurus – thought to have been one of the biggest killers to ever walk the Earth From the deadliest killers to the biggest and strangest beasts, Planet Dinosaur brings to life a new and terrifying world of dinosaurs. More types of dinosaurs have been discovered in the last two decades than the 200 years before. This series uses the latest CGI and cutting-edge research to reveal the deadly secrets of these new giants. For the first time on British television, the very latest dinosaur discoveries have been brought together and brought to life in this ground-breaking series.

Featuring a cast of new dinosaurs that will feed the nation’s nightmares, the next generation of children aren’t going to be talking about Tyrannosaurus rex – they are about to meet far bigger, badder, more vicious characters that roamed the Earth 95 million years ago. The series starts in North Africa, where two of the world’s biggest predators once battled for supremacy. At 13m and 7 tonnes, Carcharodontosaurus was a huge beast, a gigantic lizardlike carnivore with shark-like teeth more than 6 inches long. It was an efficient hunter that would slash at its prey until it bled to death. But the discovery of an upper

jaw in Morocco revealed an even bigger carnivorous killer – Spinosaurus. Four metres longer than Tyrannosaurus rex, Spinosaurus is thought to have been one of the biggest killers to ever walk the Earth. But unlike the meateating Carcharodontosaurus, Spinosaurus mainly ate fish, living and hunting almost exclusively in the water. Like all predators that share an environment, the two may once have had to compete for food. Planet Dinosaur takes a look at what one such deadly battle may have looked like and finds out which giant beast would have been most likely to survive a fight to the death.

For new pupils Phoenix and Harley Taylor, the day begins in tragedy when they discover the death of their nan.

Billy Connolly’s Route 66 Thursday 15th September - ITV 9pm Brand new four-part documentary series in which Billy Connolly travels the world’s most iconic highway, Route 66, to a soundtrack of some of the best American music of the 20th century. Riding his Harley-Davidson trike and with his banjo close at hand, the Big Yin will be following a lifelong dream as he makes the 2,488-mile journey from Chicago to Santa Monica.

Along the way, he will meet disciples of Route 66, from seasoned ‘roadies’ to firsttimers living the dream. Anything can happen to him on the way - from swapping his Harley saddle for a horse saddle in Texas to riding out with the CHiPs (the California Highway Patrol). He begins his journey in Chicago, where he heads to the top of America’s tallest building, discovers one of

Al Capone’s most notorious speakeasies and attends a gospel service in the suburb where rock and roll was born. Leaving the city behind, Billy visits the home of Abraham Lincoln, meets Illinois’s champion pie-maker and encounters a 20foot tall roadside giant. Finally, he heads into Amish country, where he takes the reins for a horse-drawn buggy ride.

The series kicks off with a two-part story entitled Playing With Fire, which sees DCI Alan Banks (Tompkinson) take on a murder case which is linked to an art forgery scam. Also starring Andrea Lowe as DS Annie Cabbot alongside

Page 34

Lorraine Burroughs, Jack Deam, Colin Tierney and Tamzin Merchant. In the opening episode, Banks is called in to investigate when the inhabitant of a canal boat is murdered in a fire. Evidence soon points to the victim being involved in a lucrative art forgery racket, but when a second body is discovered, the police are confused as to the motive for the crime – and to which person was the real intended target.

Banks becomes convinced that a relative of one of the victims is withholding vital information, but his determination to prove their involvement leads him into conflict with DS Annie Cabbot, who thinks that Banks has let the case affect him personally. Meanwhile, Cabbot has embarked on an affair with Mark Keane (John Light), the art expert advising on the investigation. Is she crossing a line?

Screen grab suggests ‘Frog’s Tongue’ room iPhone 5 launch date divider wins award

The long-awaited date for the release of the iPhone 5 is rumoured to be October 21.

A screen shot of a memo for Best Buy, an American retailer involved in the iPhone 5 launch, indicates the mid-October date as the one to watch, with fans taking this as the best indication of when the phone will be available to punters. The image was shown on ThisIsMyNext.com, which says the date was scheduled for a mysterious “Apple fixture”. The site says it would tie in nicely with other rumours suggesting a mid-October launch is on the cards. Apple is very well known for its secrecy policy and there has been no confirmation from the California-based giant whose boss and cofounder Steve Jobbs recently resigned.

A retractable room divider inspired by a frog’s tongue has scooped a top design award.

Online phone sites who keep an expert eye out for release dates are convinced an October launch is likely. FoneHome said one document from a well-known chain of shops read: “iPhone 5 product introduction expected, pre-sales begin for expected October week 1 launch.” That, the Vodafone-sponsored company said, meant

the report is likely to have more credibility than one from an anonymous tipster. Another point, it says, is that Apple itself has reportedly been training its staff up on iOS5 and iCloud, the software that will come out on the iPhone 5. Usually, Apple only starts training its staff up on new software a few weeks prior to launch.

School meal prices soar

New research from Which?* finds that the price of school meals is rising in two thirds of schools across the country this coming term.

Along with low rates of takeup, Which? is concerned that this could start to undo the progress made in recent years towards improving children’s access to healthier meals that help them do better at school. While a majority of parents will see the cost of school meals rise below the rate of inflation this September, others will have to pay up to 17 per cent more than this time last year. School meal prices have risen on average by around 2.5 per cent on last year, but some local authorities have increased prices by far more. For primary school meals, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council has increased prices by 17 per cent (£1.70 - £2) and Lewisham Borough Council by 14 per cent (£1.40-£1.60). The local authority with the biggest increase was Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council 25 per cent - although its prices still remain the lowest in the country at £1.25. School meals managed by Poole Borough Council are the most expensive in the country - £2.50 on average in September 2011.

Page 38

It’s estimated that 55 per cent of students need to take school meals to keep costs down. However, the Which? research reveals that just 45 per cent of students in England currently take school meals. In some areas, including Wokingham District Council and West Sussex County Council, it is as low as 25 per cent. The Which? research found that parents would rather give their children packed lunches as they believe them to be cheaper than school meals . This is compounded by the fact that the School Dinner Grant, which was set up to subsidise school meals, is no longer ring-fenced, meaning that since April 2011 local authorities can use the fund to top up other areas of need. Which? believes these findings are an early warning sign that schools and local authorities

need to do more to increase take-up to avoid bigger price hikes for families in the future, or potentially a loss of the current high quality meals. Richard Lloyd, Executive Director of Which?, says: “At a time when many people tell Which? their number one concern is rising food prices, it will come as an unwelcome surprise to hard-pressed families to see that some local authorities are increasing their prices by as much as 17 per cent - well above inflation. “School meals in most areas are still a relatively low cost and low hassle way to provide a decent lunch for your children. But if schools cannot find ways to protect the extra funding that has gone to school meals and increase the number of children taking them up, there’s a real risk of even more price hikes or a drop in standards, undoing the

Michael Korn, a student at the Royal College of Art, has won the UK James Dyson Award, which he hopes will increase global sales of his creation. Mr Korn’s design, the KwickScreen, lets healthcare professionals give privacy to patients with a lightweight, portable screen. Since its launch eight months ago it has been sold to more than 25 NHS trusts as well as hospitals in Italy, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. One of the judges, Sebastian Conran, said: “This is such a simple idea, using a well-proven mechanical

principle in a unique and innovative way.” Mr Korn said: “Winning the UK James Dyson Award will propel us towards our goal of increasing exports. “The money will go directly towards the first pay packet for our new graduate engineer recruit who is

working hard on research and development to develop the next iteration of KwickScreen.” Mr Korn will receive a £1,000 cash prize towards further development of his invention, which will now compete for the international prize.

Lights go out in EU for bulbs

The manufacture and importing of 60 watt light bulbs became illegal within the EU from the 1st September. Businesses will still be able to sell what they have in stock but once that is gone they will have to sell the new-style energy saving bulbs. These are halogen and compact fluorescent lamp - CLF - bulbs which, some critics say, do not give off enough light. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which is overseeing the change, disagrees. “This changeover has been coming for some years,” a Defra spokeswoman told Sky News Online. “So there has been a lot of time to work on the replacements. “While there might have been concerns in the past, the technology has moved on and the designers have talked to a lot of people about this potential problem. Gunther Oettinger, EU Energy Commissioner

“We’re confident the new bulbs will be as effective as the ones being phased out.” The RNIB charity, which represents blind and partially sighted people, says it expects people will need help finding the right bulb. But it, too, agrees that technology has moved on since fears were first voiced. “No-one’s that keen on change, of course,” an RNIB spokeswoman told Sky News Online, “but you should be able to get the right light. It’s just a case of knowing what to ask in the shop.” The charity gives advice on its website and points to the Energy Saving Trust should people require further information. The old light bulbs are being withdrawn because they are not considered energy efficient enough for the modern day. “Edison’s light bulb, which has produced light for more than 100 years, is simply no longer the state of the art, when it comes to lighting - they

just consume too much energy for the light they produce,” EU Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger said recently. He insists the environmental benefits within the EU if everyone changes all their light bulbs will be the equivalent of taking seven million cars off the road.

Celebrity gardener dispute AFER more than three decades, well-known TV gardener Carol Klein has been forced to close her plant nursery - Glebe Cottage Plants following a dispute with neighbours. Lancashire born Klein set up Glebe Cottage Plants when her children were small, making her television debut on Gardeners World, way back in 1989. Now it looks like her life is set to change again as she ups sticks from ‘Pixie Lane’ in Devon. Klein, with a group of helpers, took the nursery to pieces, moving soil, sleepers and plants by the wheelbarrow back to her own cottage garden after new neighbours refused to renew the lease on the plot of land where the nursery was situated. The National Gardens Scheme’s planned open days have been cancelled until 2012, although Klein hopes to

bounce back, as she has done previously in her career following setbacks. Klein wrote in relation to the nursery closure: “Our nursery is sadly closed. For many years, we have run a working nursery adjacent to the garden on land rented from our next-door neighbours. “Our new neighbours, Len & Zara Tanner, have given us notice to quit in retaliation for my writing about their felling and disfiguring many trees. “It is with great regret that the nursery and garden are now closed. We also had to cancel our planned opening on Wednesday for the National Garden Scheme. Beyond that we just don’t know - but we will keep you updated on future plans. “It has been a great pleasure to see so many visitors and friends returning to the garden over the years, and you can catch up with the garden from time to time on Gardeners World.” Her neighbour responded,

saying: “That's not true. I’ve got all her rubbish in my backyard. From my door to the compost is about 20 to 25 yards, and the heap’s also above our courtyard because we're on the side of a hill. “She's also got a potting shed and if it were that bit we saw, it wouldn’t be so bad. Up by her own house, there’s nothing.” So, it appears that it was the smell of the compost that was getting up his nose; so much for country living. Klein told the UK Press when announcing her hopes of showing the restoration of the garden on a new BBC TV programme: “I am going to take something which, on the face of it, is quite negative and turn it positive. “I will use it as an opportunity to grow lots of specialist plants. It will give me a lot of freedom.” Klein has a great following on BBC TV’s Gardeners’ World and, in between times, has won six gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Beautiful Bougainvillea Bougainvillea is native to South America and due to the perfect growing conditions here in the Canaries, grows in abundance. Strangely enough, however, I don’t have one in my garden. Bougainvilleas are thorny, woody vines that grow from pot size to anything like covering mass expanses of fence – you need to keep them in check. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season.

Dear Christine

carl pattison

Your resident Agony Aunt

from Robot, answers your hair questions

Route to hair heaven WHY do I do it? Why do I give away my styling secrets to you mere mortals?

Because I care about your hair and for me it’s a passion and not a job. I don’t get up in the morning and think: “Oh my God, I’ve got to go to work!” No, I do this because I love it. So here’s my run-down of what I expect you to be doing to achieve salon-perfect hair at home. It’s not rocket science but the basics you will need to keep your hair looking and feeling fabulous. 1. It’s all in the ingredients. I rarely come across anyone here with greasy hair. It’s mostly dry, damaged or brittle because of the elements, like sun, sea, wind, etc. So you must look out for products like shampoos and conditioners that say “moisturising”, “repairing” or neutrifying”. All these will help combat your dry tresses and keep them looking smooth and glossy. 2. Choose a good styling range which doesn’t contain too much alcohol as this will dry your hair out and cause a brittle effect. Serums are great on wet and dry hair to replenish lost oils that appear naturally in your hair but can be lost because of the extremities here in Tenerife. Don’t overdo hair lacquer as this is like frying your hair in the sun, especially if you are using an aerosol type. Choose a pump-action container instead. Heat protection is a must, so don’t leave the house without it. And finally, waxes. Never use a greasy wax if going in the sun because this acts like cooking oil and literally bakes the hair, so be warned. 3. Moisturise moisturise! I can’t say this enough. Every time you wash your hair, replace lost nutrients by applying a conditioner. And once a week, you should also be applying a “masque”. Don’t tell me you haven’t enough time because it takes one minute to apply. Leave on in the sun if it’s your day off, or overnight if you are not out partying.

Page 40

4. Never ever use hair irons more than twice a week because I’ve seen more damage with these than any colour process, Use quick movements and don’t hold still on any section. Use a heat-defence oil such as Moroccan Oil to guard against burning your hair. Always leave your hair 10% damp when you iron as it will give you a smoother, longer-lasting effect. 5. Last, but no means least, colouring. Until the day arrives when we have colours that cause zero damage to our hair, we must take extra care when applying colours. Never overlap a colour lightening process, such as going over an area that’s already been bleached. Take care not to go head-first into a new colour without discussing with your stylist the ease at which the colour can and cannot be removed in the future. Summing up, treat your hair with the respect it deserves and you will reap the rewards, just as you will if you respect your body. If ever you have a hair question or problem, ALWAYS consult your stylist, who should be there to help, even if you don’t have an appointment.

Dear Christine, I went through my husband’s emails and found that he’s been having an affair with a girl who used to come into our bar. When I tackled him about it, he cried and said it’s me he loves. He wants me to forgive him and says he’ll finish with her and never see her again. We were always so happy. We run a business together and we’ve always said we were the love of each other’s life. I want to believe that he’ll finish with this girl, but I don’t know whether I can trust him now. I feel devastated and just wish things could go back how they were before. Please help. Mrs J Dear Mrs J, I’m sorry to hear that your husband’s been unfaithful. Things will never be the same again for the pair of you, I’m afraid. Either you’ll end up splitting up, or you’ll continue the relationship, but in a different way. This different way could either be an improvement on how things were, or rather the opposite. Before you make any decisions, you need to understand why your husband did this. Some people cheat because they don’t respect their partner and care little for the relationship, but it doesn’t sound like this is the case with you. Most other affairs come about because there’s a problem within the relationship that’s being addressed outside of it, rather than between the two of you. Often, the problem is simply that one of the couple is bored and doesn’t feel that his/her needs are being met. Affairs aren’t usually about sex, but more often about friendship, understanding or attention – things an individual would normally look for within the relationship. Please don’t think I’m saying it’s your fault he’s had an affair; it’s certainly not. I’m saying there’s likely a problem between you - to his mind at least - and he’s chosen to remedy it by finding excitement elsewhere instead of talking to you and try-

ing to resolve the matter. You need to have a real heart-to-heart with your husband, preferably in the presence of a relationship counsellor there are several in Tenerife. Keep talking until the needs and desires of you both are out in the open, and then make your decision about the future. If you choose to give the marriage a second chance, you’ll need to discuss what you can both do differently to improve things. Of course, if he’s not willing to see a counsellor or to discuss things fully with you, he’s really not worth bothering about any longer. Christine

Dear Christine, When I first met my boyfriend, I thought he was wonderful - good-looking, intelligent and great fun to be with. I broke up with him, though, because he became nasty, insulting and then even violent. My mother always thought he was terrific and, despite what I’ve told her about him, she wants to pass on his contact details to her best friend’s daughter. We have a tight circle of family and friends, and I don’t want this guy anywhere near us, but I can’t seem to get the message across to my mum. Do you know how I can tell her, once and for all, please? I’m 22 and still living with my parents. Sarah Dear Sarah, Wow, I’m gobsmacked! What part of ‘this guy is a user and abuser’ does your mother not understand? He is clearly bad news and you certainly do have a responsibility - a responsibility you are trying hard to carry out - not to let him be introduced to other women. Explain to your mother once more the reasons why you dumped him, then tell her the subject is closed forever. If she continues to bully you, do what we should always do with bullies: walk away! This may entail moving out and cutting yourself off from her until she can

promise not to bring up the subject again. I know this seems rather harsh, but maybe it’s the only way your mother will get the message.

Christine Dear Christine, My partner left me a week ago and I have just found out that she’d been cheating on me. I want it to be known that all the people who knew it was going on will be named and shamed. I’m not a dog who’ll lie down and allow himself to be kicked. Chris Dear Chris, I’m sorry you’ve had the experience of your partner two-timing you, but she must have had her reasons. What I find chilling is the vengeful aspect of your letter. It makes me wonder whether your partner was afraid to say she had a problem with you. So what do you think will happen when you “name and shame” people? Perhaps you think they’ll feel guilty, or that others will condemn them. It’s far more likely that others will think: “Wow, if he’s that spiteful, I’m not surprised she was looking for comfort elsewhere!’ Do you really want to make yourself look like the bad guy in all this? A better approach would be to accept that you and she don’t suit each other so you’re both better off looking for someone who wants what you want. If you act with calm dignity and don’t make a display of how vulnerable you feel, you’re more likely to get sympathy and support. I hope you’ll value yourself enough to behave in an adult fashion. Christine Christine Craggs-Hinton is the author of 19 self-help books, including ‘Natural Treatments for Arthritis’, ‘How to Lower your Blood Pressure’, and ‘Coping with Gout’. Her books are available from all good UK bookshops as well as ‘The Paper Shop’, Apolo Centre and ‘Bookswop’, Edificio Cristianos 1, both of which are in Los Cristianos.

Get that peeling feeling! EXFOLIATION of the skin in any shape or form is an important part of the beauty routine because everybody in some way can experience the benefits. Even ladies with dry/dehydrated skin will find it beneficial to exfoliate at least once a week. Exfoliation is simply assisting the body in its own natural process of desquamation (skin-peeling). Basically, we are removing the dead skin cells which are crowding the surface of the skin and increasing the skin’s desquamation. It improves the quality of the skin and at the same time prevents moisturisers and nourishing products, such as facial treatment masks, getting into the deeper layers. When the dead skin cells are sloughed away, this stimulates the production of new skin cells, increases cellular turnover and lets moisturising ingredients penetrate more easily, also making the skin generally more receptive to any further treatment. At the same time, activity in the upper layer of the skin is increased and thus making the skin seem more alive as it is more active. There are many different types of skin-peeling, some of which are working deeper into the skin and others which can be carried out by everyone at least once a week. Abrasive peeling

This is used by applying product to the skin, like cleansing cream. A special machine is then used to massage the product into the skin. It usually has a variety of attachments, such as foam pads, pumice stone and soft-tapered bristle brushes, which can be used to treat different areas of the skin. The brush method is also effective when used manually. A rotating action is used in both cases, and care should always be taken in case there are any signs of sensitivity.

Abrasive peeling masks There are a few types of abrasive peeling masks with different names, such as biological peels. These are always undertaken in the controlled situation of a beauty salon or health spa. A full consultation will always be carefully noted before the treatment, which will include the type of skin to be treated, the history of the skin and its reactions to products and previous treatments. These are ideal for anybody with an oil complaint or postacne skin. They are not recommended for the mature client, who may have dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin. With Biological Peeling, the skin must be cleansed and toned, and then a softening solution is applied to the skin. Heat treatment like steam should not be applied as this will make the skin too soft. The entire facial area is covered with a type of facial

9 September - 15 September 2011

mask (always avoiding the eye area) which is left for 15-20 minutes and is then removed. AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) Doctors Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu are the pioneers of AHA research and development which began in the Sixties and came into being in 1983, with the launch of the first Glycolic acid. There are many AHAs, mostly derived from foods such as lactic acid, from sour milk, citric acid from lemons, pyruvic acid from grapes and glycolic acid from sugar cane. Almost all research has been carried out with glycolic acid as it is the AHA with the smallest molecule size and is, therefore, more successful in cell penetration. All AHAs work in the same way by “ungluing” the cells of the epidermis, making the process of natural desquamation and rehydration easier. It corrects the skin’s pH balance and has also shown to stimulate the production of collagen in the dermis. Glycolic acid and lactic acid seem to give the best results, but it really depends on the formulation. The three most important factors with AHAs are the percentage of the acid, the pH of the cream and the buffers used (which are the type of cream containing the AHAs). These AHAs can help with acned, photoaged (ruined by the sun) and hyperpigmented skin (brown patches sometimes caused by hormonal imbalances). With acnefied skin, the

AHAs act as exfoliators, helping to suppress the development of new spots by preventing the follicles from being blocked. They also help to “unroof” pustules and loosen the cells over a pustule, therefore making extraction easier. Photoaged skin is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight which affects the skin’s natural structure. It will eventually cause deep wrinkles, yellow colouring, large pores, blotchiness, coarse texture, loss of collagen, elasticity and dryness. There are a few types of AHA treatments available on the professional beauty market; those of which are specific glycolic acids that address specific skin care needs, like enhance tired/ageing skin or post-acne skin. There are other AHA treatments which have been used with other cosmetic skincare treatments and seem to offer the most effective treatment. The latter are used in strengths of 40%-plus, but should be administered by professionally-qualified people only. The products available on the commercial market may contain 1% strength in their creams. Chemical peeling Also known as progressive peeling, this product must be chosen very carefully as irritation may occur. As with all types of professionally-applied peeling treatments, a full consultation will be required. As with the other peels men-

tioned, chemical peels are recommended for anybody experiencing oiliness, postacne skin, discoloured patches and sallow, thickened skin conditions. These are not ideal for mature, dry, dehydrated or mature skin. An active lotion is applied to the skin, which is combined with more active powders. It is applied as a mask, left for 5-15 minutes (care taken around the eye area). If any form of tingling or irritation is experienced, the mask is removed immediately and always with tepid water. Exfoliation These are more basic products and are ideal for home use. The use of a good exfoliation product can visibly improve the skin’s texture, making it seem polished and softened. The effects are extremely encouraging when used as part of a home-care routine, but the process should not be overdone, especially if the individual suffers from any form of skin sensitivity. Exfoliation can be under-

taken using usual cleansing products and massaging with a damp, soft sponge. A more natural approach could be the use of finely-ground wholemeal, which can be gently massaged into the skin. Any type of exfoliation keeps the surface of the skin clear and helps pep up the circulation, giving a healthier appearance. There are many products sold on the market as ”facial scrubs” or “exfoliatiors”, and the best ones are the types which contain small, man-made spheres, which glide gently over the skin, or enzyme peels which, when applied, have the texture of glue and when massaged, it resembles a facial oil.

Conclusion... Peeling is now becoming much more apparent in the cosmetic industry, and many people are already using exfoliators as part of their skincare regimes. But they must never be over-used or used if there is any sign of infection on the skin’s surface.

Simon hits the heights with Family cook-off special Games menu for BA with real food! SIMON HULSTONE, head chef at the Michelin-starred Elephant in Torquay, Devon, is flying high after being selected to create the London 2012 Olympic menu for British Airways. The 36-year-old former National Chef of the Year, beat hundreds of rivals to become BA’s Great Briton in the Food category. He will create a British menu, inspired by the London 2012 Games, under the mentorship of Heston Blumenthal and the financial support of the airline. Hulstone’s menu, to be unveiled next March, will be served to millions of BA customers from March to September. In addition, he will create the menu for a high profile pre-London 2012 ball. To win this prestigious contract, Simon entered a three-course menu and a video, inspired by the Olympic Games. He then competed in a cook-off against 16 other chefs, with the judging panel including Blumenthal, BA food expert Adrian Jaski and sponsorship manager Luisa Fernandez. A delighted Simon said: “This is a great opportunity. But my menu will have to be tweaked a fair amount because food on the ground is not the same as food in the air - and I’m really excited to be able to work with Heston.”

Page 42

CHANNEL 5 has announced a brand new commission, Real Food Family Cook Off, funded by Tesco. He added: “My aim is to make a crowdpleasing menu that will demonstrate the best of Britain and proudly showcase our culinary heritage. “As a nod to Heston and his love of old recipes I’m looking at classic British dishes with a modern twist, delivered to the airline’s high standards.” Blumenthal added: “Simon proved to have the most technical ability, as well as a thoughtful and well-balanced menu that ties into the Olympic Games and its spirit.

“He really impressed us with consideration for the feasibility of serving it on board aircrafts, too. I’m really looking forward to working with him.” Second in the BA contest was Andrew Wong, chef at Bumbles Restaurant in London, who will receive a pair of tickets to the London 2012 Olympic Games. The BA Great Britons Programme was launched in May to discover the best of British talent in Food, Art and Film, to work on career-defining projects in the run-up to next year’s London Games.

The search is on to find the best family of home cooks in the country. The series will also be shown on the Good Food channel in the same week. Hosting the series will be two Celebrity Masterchef winners; former England Rugby World Cup winner Matt Dawson and actress and presenter Lisa Faulkner. The family cooks will face a series judge, Ainsley Harriott, and a varying weekly celebrity guest. In each episode, two teams made up of three family members go head to head. There are two “cook-offs” in each programme and teams have just 30 minutes to prepare and plate up their chosen recipes from scratch. The judges score each cook off out of 10 with the scores based primarily on taste, then on presentation and creativity. The family who scores the most points across the two cook offs wins the round and advances to the next stage of the competition. The series comprises four heats, two semi finals and a grand final and the cook offs are being filmed at family favourite locations around the UK including London Zoo, Portsmouth, Greenwich

Park and Kensington Gardens. The series was ordered by the channel’s Commissioning Editor for Entertainment, Daytime and Soaps Greg Barnett, who says; “The Real Food Family Cook Off is all about bringing families together through cooking. It’s a great format and as well as providing fantastic entertainment through the fabulous talent and teams we’ve attached to the series, there are inspirational and accessible recipes everyone can try at home.” Breige Donaghy, Tesco head of Real Food said; “This is an exciting opportunity for Tesco to work with a new and unique style of cooking show. The Real Food Family Cook Off supports Tesco’s Real Food campaign to inspire and encourage customers to enjoy creating new dishes and share recipes. Food is at the heart of our business and our partnership with this new cooking series champions great food for families. Today, more people create meals depending on their mood or the occasion. Busy lifestyles have transformed the way we cook and eat and mealtimes may be less forma, but food is more connected than ever to how we feel. www.tesco.com/ realfood has a wealth of everyday recipes that are simple and delicious to create and will always hit the spot”

EasyJet new route from Gatwick to Fuerteventura

Travelodge offers free Wi-Fi to its customers TRAVELODGE has just announced that it is to give free Wi-Fi access to its customers, making it the first budget hotel chain in the UK to do so. This offer comes out on the heels of it's last announcement which was that it has exchanged on 22 new hotels (2,198 rooms) across the UK at a combined investment value of £165 million. On many travel forums the issue of having to pay for WiFi when staying in accommodation was a bone of contention for many. So the introduction of free Wi-Fi in 140 Travelodge Bar Cafés hotels will be most welcomed, we would assume. According to Travelodge the initiative is beginning on Saturday 12th September.

"We are always looking at ways to help our customers get even more value for their money whilst staying in one our Travelodge hotels," said Travelodge Chief Executive Guy Parsons. "Our customer research has highlighted that in today's modern world travellers want internet connectivity whilst on the move, so that they can work and cyber-socialise around the clock, and with the popularity of smart phones reaching an all time high, mobile internet access is becoming more of a necessity in every day life. "Therefore we have decided to make all of our Bar Cafes a free Wi-Fi hub; enabling our customers to enjoy the benefit of free internet whilst staying with us." This year Travelodge will also

open five hotels in London and six just before the start of the Olympic Games in 2012. These openings will strengthen Travelodge’s position as the Capital’s biggest hotelier. Guy Parsons, commented: “The strength of Travelodge’s growth model has clearly been demonstrated, with the first six months of 2011 being the strongest in the Company’s history. We are not just exchanging contracts but most importantly finance is being secured upfront, to enable our developers to start on-site immediately. Everybody knows how difficult it is to obtain bank funding at the moment, so to have financed so many new schemes must be one of the biggest success stories of the UK property industry”.

EasyJet, the UK's largest airline, is launching a new route to Fuerteventura from its biggest base, London Gatwick. The inaugural flight will depart on 28th March 2012 and will fly twice weekly from Gatwick to Fuerteventura. Seats are on sale with fares starting from £35.99 (one way including taxes). Fuerteventura is best known for its miles of white sandy beaches and secluded coves. It basks in over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year

The airline industry is different, at 30,000ft there’s not a lot to rely on except the professionals in their field, you’re literally in their hands. ATAR (Air Transport Rating Agency) is a rating agency based in Geneva (Switzerland) dealing with aviation risk assessment and advanced data analyses in the aviation sector. It has just launched the top ten airlines for 2011, the data used was from 2009. The role of honour in alphabetical order is:-

‘Manage My Booking’

Ryanair has announced its latest passenger service innovation which allows passengers to amend their bookings even after they have checked in online. The service, which is available from Ryanair’s telephone reservation centres is 15 euors (per passenger, per flight), it will allow passengers to once again access ‘Manage My Booking’ where they can amend names or change their flight dates. The new service will be particularly useful for frequent flyers and business passengers who may need to amend travel plans after they have already used Ryanair’s online check-in service. This service is available up to 5pm on the evening prior to scheduled departure, subject to call centre opening hours. Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair is pleased to introduce a new passenger flight ‘uncheck’ service which allows passengers to access and amend their bookings after they have checked in online. This service, is particularly useful for those who wish to amend their flight itinerary and is available via Ryanair call centres up to 5pm on the evening prior to scheduled travel.”

its appeal to sun worshippers, the island is one of Europe's best locations for surfing and diving and is another fantastic addition to the 92 destinations we already fly to from London Gatwick." easyJet now offers passengers the choice of 93 destinations from London Gatwick. Fuerteventura is the ninth new route to be introduced by easyJet from London Gatwick in 2011, other destinations include: Amman, Catania, Seville, Izmir, Bologna, Verona, Zagreb and Aberdeen.

ATRA selects robust data sources and carefully and uses advanced methodological approach to generate meaningful information.

The safest in Europe according to the data is Air France-KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa. In the USA, the agency rated AMR Corporation (American Airlines and American Eagle), Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Airways and Southwest Airlines as the safest. In Asia it’s Japan Airlines, which was also the only airline outside Europe and the USA to make the top 10 list. ATRA looks at a whole lot of

data, not just incidents to come up with the list. ATRA’s list is a contrast to the SkyTrax awards for the best carriers in the world, calculated on different criteria, this was dominated by Asia and Middle East airlines. Qatar Airways being the best overall, Asiana - best cabin crew, Nippon Airways - best ground service and both Air New Zealand and Qantas were the seventh and eighth respectively in customer service.

Monarch adds extra seats for half-term The summer holidays may have just ended but airlines thought are with the next big school holiday. Monarch is increasing the number of seats and flights available across 20 routes in its flying programme, during the period of 21 October – 2 November 2011. The extra seats will be added to the airline’s most popular destinations - The Canaries, Spain, Cyprus and Portugal allowing customers to extend the summer holiday feeling and take a well deserved break in the Autumn. Kevin George, Managing Director of Monarch Airlines said “We have been delighted by the soaring demand for these seats on our flights and are pleased to respond by offering our customers exactly what they’re asking for – more seats, value for money and an award winning level of ‘build your own class’ service where passengers can customise their flight packages, to their individual requirements. The October half term period is a perfect time for a late sunshine getaway to one of these short and mid-haul destinations.”

This Ford Evos will stick!

THE sensational-looking Ford Evos will never go on sale, but it’s still very important as a showcase vehicle for the company.

This concept car, which debuts at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month (13-25th), is designed as a way for Ford’s designers and engineers to showcase the firm’s future styling and technology trends. It employs the same plug-in hybrid drivetrain that will be found under the hood of the Ford C-Max Energi, to be introduced next year. The powertrain functions primarily as an electric car, with a lithiumion battery sending power to an electric motor. A petrol engine and generator can provide additional power, supposedly enough for up to 500 miles of travel on a single battery charge and tank of fuel. Ford insist the new global design language previewed by the Evos will appear on a production vehicle launching next year. It is essentially an evolution of current styling trends, rather than a dramatic revolutionary change. The headline of the Evos concept is the car’s trapezoidal grille. It is positioned high on the front fascia and will become the •”face of Ford”, appearing on all the brand’s future car designs. The trapezoidal opening has been previewed on several other Ford cars, including the forthcoming Focus ST

and Focus Electric. Extremely narrow lights and mirrors are meant to convey the idea that modern Fords are taut, precise vehicles. The Evos is a four-door fastback design about the same length as the 2012 Ford Focus hatchback, but six inches wider. Four elaborate gull-wing doors rise to admit occupants to each of the four seats, but these unusual openings are unlikely to appear on any production Ford, With the doors closed, the Evos’ taut lines and supple curves are more evident. A slender piece of glass in the roof connects the front and rear windshields. The body slopes dramatically behind the C-pillar, and tapers into what Ford calls a teardrop shape, sweeping in across the rear fenders. A single trapezoidal exhaust tip pokes out at the rear, beneath which sits an angular chrome diffuser. The new design DNA will imbue Ford cars with a sense of quality and performance, while at the same time making them appear light and efficient. Yet this concept looks mean and aggressive, with its gaping grille and tapered rear almost resembling a scaled-down Aston Martin. At the same time, it's clear that this is a compact, aerodynamic vehicle. The interior is defined by four bucket seats and lots of trapezoidal shapes. Thanks to the gull-wing door design,

there are no B-pillars bisecting the cabin. Taking driver engagement to a new level, the drivetrain and chassis will be adaptive both to the driver and road conditions. The Evos concept would “learn” how different people like to drive and tailor vehicle settings to suit. It would also evaluate the weather forecast for the chosen route and cater accordingly.

While the technologies planned for the Evos concept might not show up in production models for several years, they show the direction Ford are planning. Everything will become more personalised to the driver, and linked more closely with the outside world via the Internet. It sounds too good to be true, yet Ford are convinced it will happen a lot sooner than later.

Lotus put Caterham in Seventh heaven! CATERHAM CARS will now be able to expand their sports-car line up beyond their current one-only Caterham Seven model following the company’s sale to Formula One outfit Team Lotus. Air Asia airline owner, Malaysian Tony Fernandes now also owns both Team Lotus F1 and Caterham - and plans to take the latter to new, worldwide markets, give Formula One exposure to the brand and allow F1 technology to play a

9 September - 15 September 2011

part in product development. The model, designed originally designed by the great Colin Chapman and built by his Lotus car company as the Lotus Seven, was axed by Chapman in the early Seventies, never to be replaced. It was then that Graham Nearn, Lotus Seven fan and founder, persuaded Chapman to allow him to take over the manufacture and sale of the Seven. After much discussion, Chapman agreed, and so the Caterham Seven was born and is still in production. The existing

management, led by Ansar Ali, will be kept on. This is good news because, under Ali’s control, Caterham’s sales and profits have reached record levels, paving the way for future models. The Seven, however, protected by the takeover agreement, will remain in production until legislation says differently, so the iconic little sports car has several years to go yet. So, when watching the next F1 Grand Prix on TV, look for the Caterham name on the rider of the Lotus F1 race cars.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable THE latest round of League matches produced seven close matches, two whitewashes and zero home wins in Division 1. The Pub had another cracking night at La Central, where they went 3-0 down before a remarkable comeback saw them take the match 5-3. A special mention goes to Scott, who won his first-ever singles game, and Andy, who hit his third maximum for the home side. Nauta A won 8-0 at Bar 180 B without losing a leg, while Bar 180 A took all the points from Toscales Ensecan. Star men for the visitors were Wayne, who hit his third 180, and also had 123 and 100 check-outs, Scouse Mick with a 15-darter and 116 finish and Richard, with a 17-darter. Barracuda’s Mark hit his first 180 and Tam his second during a 5-3 win for Cozy Wanderers, while Target Army’s Graham hit his third maximum during a 5-3 victory over the X-Men. Valle Vikings had to win the trebles leg to earn the three points at Gaffers, and Tavern did likewise to achieve a draw at home to Cafe Rood A. The other two matches also went down to the wire. Target

Titans left it until the last leg to finish all-square with Yelas Bar, while Toscales Tornados looked out of it at 4-2 down, only to fight back for a well-deserved draw at Phoenix Bar. Del Boy and Phil Telfer hit 180s along the way. All last Friday’s Division 2 matches resulted in home wins. The Bad Girls/Boys had a fun night at Sundowners, even though they saw Tom striking his first 180 as they crashed to a 6-2 defeat. Apart from a draw earlier in the year, the Knights have an identical record to Sundowners, and they remain in second place after a solid 5-3 success over Barracuda Hunters. Cafe Rood’s fourth consecutive win, 6-2 at home to Summerland Hopefuls, keeps them in fifth spot, with a realistic promotion chance as they near the halfway stage. Tenerife Sun travelled next door to Ourplace Naturals (Jamie 180) and had to make the long journey home emptyhanded, while Sunshine Bar stay in fourth place after getting the better of Lucky Leprechaun wih a 6-2 success. Naughty Nautas made it four wins on the belt with a 5-3 victory over Ourplace Playgirls, and Marilyns’ 7-1 beating of Phoenix Flames keeps them at eighth.

ROSCOE Sport Talk

CDT fail to conquer Conquense NEARLY 10,000 people turned up at a drizzly Heliodoro on Sunday lunchtime to see CD Tenerife robbed of victory over a dogged Conquense. The Tenerife fans have long been applauded for their faith, and the gate was simply magnificent. They were noisy, supportive and got the players performing for the shirt. At the end, though, it was a disappointing draw, but Tenerife finished the weekend top of the table, and with a spring in their step. This is the new beginning. A new dawn, if you will. The dank conditions which greeted the players at kickoff soon gave way to fierce sunshine, with the temperature gauge groaning at 96f. It was a hot one. As usual, the visitors started brightly, with Tenerife looking understandably nervous after the midweek cup defeat. Ruano was especially dangerous on the right flank, but for all their pressure, Aragoneses was untroubled in the home net. Gradually, Tenerife started to get decent possession and they carved out some halfchances, one of them leading to Marcos missing a sitter. The bald midfielder doesn’t score many and he will not get many better chances to notch. Victor’s cross was flicked on by Kiko at the near post and, with Marcos unmarked, it looked a certain goal. But the ball bounced at an awkward height. He didn’t know whether to chest it down, head it or volley it. In the end he bundled the ball goalwards, but Caballero was live to the chance and smothered it. Soon afterwards, Tenerife lost Perona with an injury and, surprisingly, he was replaced by German. It was a strange choice by coach Antonio Calderon. He is similar to Kiko, and playing like-for-like tall strikers is never gonna work. So it proved as Tenerife resorted to long balls and hopeful crosses. The side were screaming for some creativity. Meanwhile, exciting youngster Nico was on the bench counting his teeth. Half-time brought another

brief shower, before the sun arrived and the players were ready for the second half. It would be a thrilling 45 minutes. The half-time team talk brought out a new side to Tenerife. They looked a yard quicker and sharper, and they needed just four minutes to open the scoring. A corner was halfcleared by the Conquense defence, but the ball back to the near post caught them napping. Kiko, who had worked his socks off, was first to react. The Tenerife captain got in front of his man, chested the ball under control and hooked it back over his shoulder, past Caballero, against the underside of the bar and into the net. It was a fine finish, and his reaction spoke volumes. The local lad had his first goal back in a home shirt - and boy, did he celebrate! A few minutes later, he had a good effort saved to double the lead, and it seemed as though Tenerife would go on and dominate the match. But Conquense had other ideas. Their captain, Cristian, had been lively throughout and he fashioned a chance down the left which led to a cross which Mauri should have buried. But from 12 yards out and unmarked, and he headed wide. Seconds later he was

9 September - 15 September 2011

replaced, and he is probably still kicking the cat. It was the catalyst for the equaliser. A poor back-pass from Marcos left Cristobal in trouble, and his challenge on Viniesa gave them a free-kick on the edge of the area. Ruano’s free-kick was palmed on to the post by Aragoneses, and while the Tenerife players continued their afternoon nap, the unmarked Javi Selvas tapped into the open net. It was poor defending, but a worthy equaliser. The game opened up and, as both sides went search of the winner, Kitoko faded in the middle of the park, and this finally led to the introduction of Nico. He is a fine player, and why he was only given the last 10 minutes is a mystery. Twice in his first minute he jinked past players, and it was Juanfran’s foul on the youngster which gave Tenerife their best chance. A couple of players were over the ball but, from the edge of the area, Cristobal pulled rank. His sweet effort flew over the wall and Caballero was beaten. But the ball smacked the post flush and was scrambled clear. It was a great effort. Both sides would then curse the referee. Firstly, Conquense had a breakaway

and Tarantino felled Viniesa on the edge of the area. Where I was sitting it looked a cast-iron penalty and a red card. But instead, it became a free-kick on the edge. No card and a big let-off. In the same way that Scotland felt robbed when the Dutch ref denied them a penalty late on at Hampden, so Tenerife had the same treatment. Nico was clearly fouled by Moreno three minutes from time and again, Snr Sanchez let play continue. There was still time for one last Nico effort, but it would have been cruel on Conquense. Canarian Weekly ratings: CD TENERIFE: Aragoneses 7, Cristóbal 7, Medina 6, Tarantino 6, Jonay 7, Ferran 6, Marcos 8, Kitoko 6 (Nico 80min 8), Víctor Bravo 6, Kiko Raton 7, Perona 5 (German 25min 4). CONQUENSE: Caballero 7, Juanfran 7, Moreno 7, Javi Selvas 6, Morillas 6, Dani Rodríguez 6, Cubillo 6 (Dani Martí 87min); Ruano 7, Mauri 6 (Viniesa 61min 5), Dailos 5 (Jorgito 61min 5 ), Cristian 7.

World champion saves Palms Bar LEAGUE and Cup champions Palms Bar’s unbeaten start to the season was under threat on Tuesday night. They pitched up at Atlantis Sharks without three players, one of whom, Bungalow, was eagerly awaiting the birth of his second child, and 8lb 5oz Ryan duly arrived safe and sound! So former WBO superfeatherweight world boxing champion Nicky Cook signed up and he helped his side out by bagging two points from his three matches. It was a close contest but Palms looked set for all three points when they led 5-3. But Paul G played superbly to beat Johnny, and then Paul Dwyer held his nerve to defeat Michael and earn a fair point. This gave the chasing pack a chance to narrow the gap at the top, and Terrace Bar A continued their fine start as they ended Legends Bar’s unbeaten run 6-4. Hoops and Trap Door continue to rally after slow starts, and there really must be something in the Los Cristianos water! Hoops are now third after a fine 7-3 win at Toscales, while the Welsh lads at Trap Door blocked out Wales’ defeat by England as they edged out Target Bar 6-4. Tenerife Hammers A returned to form with an excellent 7-3 win at a sunkissed Bar Tasca, Bar 180 A secured their first win of the season at Nauta A and Gaffers are also off the mark

following an 8-2 smashing of Summerland Allstars. Bar 180 C and Phoenix Knights drew in San Blas. As in all divisions this week, the leaders stayed unbeaten, but not perfect. In the second tier, Barracuda Bandits will call it a point gained in a topsy-turvy draw at Target Rangers. They didn’t concede any ground as the sides around them also drew in another tight night of matches. Phoenix Potters and Exiles finished level in a fine contest in Los Abrigos, while Wandarbar’s excellent season continued as they held Summerland Elite. Inn The Pink are starting to fire. They thrashed Connors Bar 8-2, and Atlantis Crew enjoyed their best-ever win, 9-1 at Tenerife Pool Tables, the side formerly known as Palms B. Nauta B just got past Terrace B, while there were also wins for Market Taverners and Toscales A-Team. There is a fine battle going on at the top of Division Three. The Treehouse’s unbeaten record has gone as they were, erm, felled by C&A Titans 7-3. Gaffers B lead the way on frames won after spanking James Place 9-1. Exiles B went second after a home draw with Bull Ring Tavern and there was also a draw in Los Cristianos as Legendary Jokers got a point in the derby match at Dos Hermanos. The Office chalked up their second win of the season, this time 7-3 over Dragons Denn.

This Sunday, Tenerife have an early kick off at Albacete. It’s not only a clash between the two relegated sides but also the top two in this league. The omens are good. Tenerife have won on their last two visits there, and in coach Calderon they have a man who knows the opposition like the back of his hand.

Horoscopes of the week Virgo

(August 24th - September 23rd) Life has changed and so have you, haven’t you? Your chart indicates that there is much work ahead of you and you must try to use this “calm before the storm” to gather both your thoughts and your energy. An offer of love coming by Thursday should turn out to be just what the doctor ordered.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Those promises made to you last month have now become clear, and what’s on offer is as long-term as you want it to be. The sun brings out your seductive streak, as will be proved during the next few days, and there will be helping hands from old friends - workwise, that is!

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Joint business ventures should prove successful, but beware of believing too much that old faces say. They could well be making promises that are way out of their league. Accept that last-minute invitation to go out as it’s sure to be just what the doctor ordered.

TAURUS (April 21st- May 21st) You need to make a more conscious effort to spend quality time with your nearest and dearest. They are beginning to think you do not care for them, and it is only by making some sacrifices to your arrangements that you will give them the confirmation they are in need of so badly.

LIBRA (September 24th -October 23rd) You may want to let that friend down sooner rather than later because you appear to be gaining an unreliable reputation. Just remember that it really isn’t necessary to spend any money, so don’t let so-called friends try to part you and your cash. It will pay you to focus on the professional and not the personal this week.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Why not say what you want? At least then you will stand a chance of actually getting it. Honestly, it really is far easier than you could imagine to get support and help from your close ones. They are waiting for you to ask, so make the effort. Librans link to flirtatious times, and there’s more they can offer to your life. CANCER (June 22nd- July 23rd) You have many hands who are willing to help you, so speak up. This whispering isn’t doing anyone any good - most of all you - and close ones are beginning to look at you with more caution than usual. Your love life could do with a good sorting out, but that’s for you and your heart to discuss and no one else.

Page 48

SCORPIO (October 24thNovember 22nd) You must not be jealous of the attention that a loved one is giving to a new face in his/her life. Let’s face it, you are hard work at the best of times, but what you give back in return makes you the No1 choice for the majority of the zodiac. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st) The rest of the zodiac turn to you to sort out their problems, but whether you have the right advice is hard to answer. If you keep your mind on what is being asked of

you, then you will be able to give an intelligent and helpful answer. Honesty in response to questions asked of you is imperative. CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You’re still battling with a work problem you’d hoped would be sorted out last week. The simplest things are not always the most straight-forward, though, and you may have to spend much of your day running around trying to put together the pieces of what seems to be a very complicated jigsaw puzzle. Some e-mails promise clarity. AQUARIUS (January 21stFebruary 19th) You must try to make up your own mind about the people who have recently entered your life. It is all very well saying that you trust in friends’ judgements, but would you actually want to live the life they have got? On the bright side, you will be able to find the shortcuts in business and financial affairs. PISCES (February 20th -March 20th) You have the gift of new-found confidence, and only by taking gambles will you find out if you can get what you have long admired from afar. Work may prove more tedious than usual as you find yourself having to fulfil the duties of others. But it will be worth the sacrifice.
