We’re Rocking in May Springsteen leads a superstar charge to the Canaries BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, one of the great rock stars of all time, will be appearing in Gran Canaria on 15th May.

The American’s concert at the Gran Canaria Stadium, in Las Palmas, will herald the greatest single rock event ever staged in the Canary Islands. And that will be followed by another huge rock concert here in Santa Cruz, spread over three days later the same month and, hopefully, featuring US megagroup Red Hot Chili Peppers. Confirmation of Springsteen (known as The Boss) and his E Street Band headlining the Gran Canaria show was rubber-stamped at a press conference during the international tourism fair, FITUR, in Madrid yesterday (Thursday). Details were announced by José Miguel Bravo de Laguna, President of Gran Canaria Cabildo. He appeared alongside Leopoldo Mansito, who runs the promoting company LM Producciones, and Paul Barber, Tourism Councillor for Las Palmas. The date is part of Springsteen’s visit to Spain, which embraces his official European Tour. It takes in Seville on 13th May, Barcelona (17th and 18th), San Sebastian on 2nd June and Madrid on the 17th. His 2012 tour also takes in Germany, Portugal, France, Italy, UK, Czech Rep, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Austria and Ireland. The promoters, obviously keen to fill the 43,000-seater Gran Canaria Stadium, have capped ticket prices at 60 and 70 euros, and die-hard Springsteen fans can pay more to gain entrance to selected areas. But LM Producciones stress that the prices are “significantly lower” than any other concerts on the tour. Prices for the Barcelona and Madrid concerts are already selling for up to 270 euros each.

The company’s previous efforts to lure Springsteen to the Canaries on his 2009 tour were unsuccessful, and LM Producciones have been pulling out all the stops for several months to land The Boss. Their success will be seen as a fabulous feather in their cap because Springsteen is acknowledged as the greatest rock singer-songwriter icon of all - a true working-class hero. He has been at the top for some 40 years, outlasting every single solo star, and, at the age of 62, is still the biggest draw of all. Tickets for Gran Canaria, and every other venue around Europe, will almost certainly be snapped up in a flash. Springsteen’s roots will always remain in his native New Jersey. His most successful studio albums, Born in the USA and Born to Run, highlight the struggles and courage of daily American life. Coincidentally, he is releasing a new album, Wrecking Ball, in March. He has already sold more than 65 million albums in the United States, more than 120 million worldwide, and his worldwide popularity knows no bounds. As for our own rock extravaganza, Santa Cruz’s first Rock Coast Festival from 24-26th May, this also promises a host of superstars, with five million euros being sunk into the event to ensure it is a mighty success. Those in the frame, along with the Red Hot Chilis, are Lenny Kravitz, Iggy Pop, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Offspring, Marilyn Manson and Linkin Park. A delighted José Manuel Bermúdez, the Mayor of Santa Cruz, said: “We can confirm that it will be the most important musical festival ever held in the Canary Islands. Between them, the artists appearing have sold over 270 million records.”

New tigers add that touch News in Brief of royalty to Loro Parque MMR jabs for younger tots

NEW health recommendations in the Canary Islands has led to the age for MMR vaccinations (measles, rubella and mumps) being reduced from 15 to 12 months. That’s because of a recent increase in outbreaks in Spain.

New beach almost ready CALLAO SALVAJE’S new 2.3 million-euro beach, Playa de Ajabo, should be completed by March. The finishing touhes are now in sight, with progress being made on pathways and lighting.

Granadilla scholarships granted ACADEMIC scholarships have been granted to 764 families in the municipality of Granadilla, thanks to an investment of more than 142.000 euros. Councillor Sara Cano says: “This is just another way to prove our commitment to education and training of our youth and, therefore, creating a better future for them and the Island itself.”

Even dearer to fill up now FUEL prices rose to record highs in Tenerife at the beginning of the year, with diesel up by 8% against the corresponding 2011 period and petrol prices have risen by 5% rise in the first two weeks. The reason is said to be the devaluation of the euro against the US dollar, which is the currency used in international oil-trade markets.

Adeje animals’ splashing time AS well as breeding two baby Rockhopper penguins at Loro Parque in time for the new year, officials now have a pair of white Royal Bengal Tigers from China.

They are male and female, just 18 months old, and have come from the Guangzhou Panya Xiangjiang Safari Park. Needless to say, they are now enjoying the splendour of their new home in Spain’s best-known animal park, surrounded by vegetation, a waterfall and an exclusive lake for their summer dips. The female, Yanjya, and the male, Linmao, are from a sub-species of tiger which are plentiful, and normally live in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma and China, in the southern region of Tibet.

These beautiful animals are in the process of getting to know their new surroundings, demonstrating their curiosity by discovering every nook and cranny, taking long siestas beneath the greenery and arousing the interest of all the visitors. Bengal tigers are characterised - like all tigers - as being solitary animals, who don’t generally live in big clusters, although females travel with their babies in small groups of three or four. These tigers usually live in a great variety of habitats, including tropical and sub-tropical forests. They feed on wild pigs and deer, which make up the bulk of their diet. They also feed on crustaceans, frogs, crabs, small invertebrates and fish such as trout and perch.

ADEJE celebrates its Patron Saint of Farmers, San Sebastian, today (Friday) which is also a bank holiday in the municipality. The festivities included folklore music last night, followed by today’s procession to San Sebastian chapel on the Costa Adeje where the farmers’ goats, sheep and horses are allowed to swim and play in the sea as a sign of appreciation and affection.

Jeweller to exhibit in Paris Jeweller Marta Moore, part of the Tenerife Moda firm, has been invited to present her collection in the prestigious Eclat de Mode fair in Paris this month thus expanding into the international world and receiving recognition with her timeless pieces of handmade semiprecious stones and textiles.

Travel Group Globalia Travel Group Globalia has chosen Tenerife as its leading destination in the Canaries. An agreement has been signed for familiarisation and educational trips for travel agents, also more emphasis on promotional activities aimed at the mainland market and France and Italy.

Spanish life expectancy falls Latest statistics show that life expectancy in Spain has fallen by a small amount that breaks an upward trend which has lasted nearly half a century. For Spanish males the life expectancy is now 78.87 years. For women the age is 84.82 according to the National Statistics Institute. That makes the average for the country 81.87, down 0.8 compared to 2010.

Dia de San Sebastian Today, Friday Adeje prepares to celebrate its Patron Saint of Farmers. The Holy Eucharist will be celebrated, sung by the parish choir, in honour of San Sebastian and on completion the Saint will be taken in procession to La Enramada, La Caleta. In this religious act, many officials will preside for the parish priest’s blessing of the cattle. It was at La Enramada where the first appearance of the Virgin of the Incarnation was witnessed, the devoted patron saint of the people of Adeje, and also where the first chapel in the south of Tenerife was built.

Book now for Galletas classic RUNNERS of all grades can apply now to compete in the 16th annual Las Galletas half-marathon (www.mediomaratonlasgalletas.com) on 1st April. Entrants are limited to 800 places, with various categories and age groups for men and women.

Movie honours

AMIDST the doom, gloom and destruction of this week’s news stories I read about Uggie, which for me is the funniest feel good story of the week. A star of the hit silent movie The Artist is up for a glittering new prize - the Golden Collar Award. Uggie - who became a hit at the recent Golden Globe Awards - has been nominated in the first annual Dog News Daily prize that honours canines in movies. He was joined by The Artist co-star Penelope Ann Miller, who announced the nominees for best dog in a theatrical film. Uggie earned two nods - one for his role in The Artist and another for his part in Water For Elephants. Other dog nominees included Cosmo from Beginners, Denver from 50/50 and Hummer from Young Adult. Miller said she was happy her four-legged colleague was getting some recognition. “I think there is one scene where I throw a newspaper at the dog and I felt horrible because I do love dogs, but he was a good little actor that dog. I think he deserves all the accolades that he’s getting.” The Golden Collar Awards will be handed out on February 13. Uggie (born 2002) is a Jack Russell Terrier actor. He was adopted and saved from being sent to a dog pound by animal trainer Omar Von Muller. He started his career with a touring dog talent show, and in commercials before moving into movies.

A campaign “Consider Uggie” was launched in December 2011 on Facebook by S.T. VanAirsdale, an editor at Movieline, for Uggie to receive a real or an honorary Oscar nomination. He won the Palm Dog Award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The story has be across the British press this week, telling the story of how animal trainer Von Muller was only going to foster the dog while he found it a new home, but decided that Uggie should stay. He said of the dog, “He was a crazy, very energetic puppy, and who knows what would have happened to him if he gone to the dog pound. But he was very smart and very willing to work. One of the most important things is that he was not afraid of things. That is what makes or breaks a dog in the movies, whether they are afraid of lights, and noises and being on sets. He gets rewards, like sausages, to encourage him to perform, but that is only a part of it. He works hard.” When not working, Uggie lives in North Hollywood with Von Muller, his wife, and his sixyear old daughter. There are seven other dogs in the household, who all work in the film industry. Uggie is now approaching retirement and will now take on less intense jobs. Apparently even dogs have stunt doubles, Uggie had two named Dash and Dude, who were coloured to look more like Uggie, but he did most of his own stunts and the doubles were barely required.

Youths spark fire in new 3.5m-euro park TEENAGERS have been blamed for a blaze at the 3.5millon-euro Garañaña Park in Costa del Silencio, which has yet to be opened officially. Residents have complained about a gang who have broken into the park and perch on top of the climbing wall, smoking and drinking most evenings. And on Wednesday evening at around 6.15, a huge plume of black smoke rose from the park, and some youngsters were seen fleeing. By chance, 32-year-old Shirley Woollett and her partner, Richard Sweeney, who live at nearby Chayofita, were passing by on their way to a meeting of their camera club, Tenerife Toggers. Shirley said: “We took pictures automatically when someone pointed out the smoke. Some of us were talking only the night before about the kids who hang around there. “It has been a favourite hang-out of youths since the security guards stopped patrolling there, and it is such a shame. It isn’t even open yet because there has been some problem over the barranco there.” In fact, the magnificent park cannot be open to the public until that barranco

(ravine) running across it has been channelled out. The work was put out to tender for 536,500 euros back in October, and it must be finished before facilities on the 64,000sq.m site can be utilised fully. These facilities include a

jogging track, playground, bike, skateboard and skating area, tree-lined square and outdoor amphitheatre with seating for 200 spectators, together with bike trails, public toilets and, of course, the wrecked climbing wall. Garañaña Park formed part

of a 10-million-euro project to provide “quality space” for the people of Silencio, Las Galletas and El Fraile. What local residents will want to know now is whether the park will again be patrolled - and just when it will be open to the public.

Until next week

Santos puts Tenerife Tourism above his Adeje Council duty

MIGUEL Angel Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Tenerife Tourism, has left the political party PSOE to maintain a position of “independence”. Tenerife Tourism (Turismo de Tenerife) is a private and public-funded industry and Santos, who was also Adeje’s Councillor for Tourism, wrote to the PSOE secretary general there saying

he had made his decision after a “long and thoughtful process of reflection”. He believed his membership of a political party could possibly affect any of his decisions, even though he was only ever working towards the good of tourism here. Santos added that it was a “strictly personal” move and did not detract from his “great

Knife attack in local bar Last Monday evening the emergency services were called at 10.37 to an incident in Adeje. A British man attacked three British residents with two knives at the Next Door Bar, Malibu Park Apartments, Calle Italia, San Eugenio Alto. A man and two woman (thought to be a bar owner from Puerto Colon and two members of staff) received knife injuries following a disagreement in the bar. According to witnesses the

attacker, Briton (M.L) is said to be in his late fifties or early sixties, residing in Tenerife during the winter period to enjoy his fishing hobby. Police say they were all sat in the bar when a big argument ensued. The attacker went back to his room and then returned with a machete and a large knife with which he attacked the three. One of the women, 47, was cut on the neck (ear), while the other, 43, received arm wounds, the man, 47, had facial cuts. An eyewitness said that

he had been in the bar and that (ML) had appeared fine, talking with the individuals and then an argument began. The witness told Canarian Weekly: “Following the argument he left the bar, I went outside for a cigarette the next minute there’s loads of shouting, tables and glasses flying and the man’s stood there with a knife in each hand.” The attacker was detained by National Police following the incident. None of the three is said to be seriously wounded, and police are investigating.

Footballers held over an alleged sex attack As we go to print, Police have arrested six footballers following an investigation into an alleged sex attack. The unnamed men have been held on suspicion of the alleged sexual assault of a woman in Brighton last July, Sussex Police said.

Five of the men - aged 18, 19, two aged 20 and one aged 24 - are from Brighton. The sixth, aged 20, is from Dorset. The alleged attack was reported to police at the time but the suspects were only identified on January 13. Five of the men are believed to be from Brighton and Hove Albion Four men were held in Brighton at 4.20am on Thursday morning and a fifth was arrested in the city at about 7.20am. The sixth man was held in Dorset at 10.30am.

Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said: “Five of them, it is believed, are from Brighton and Hove Albion. It is believed the sixth, arrested in Dorset, plays for Bournemouth.” A Sussex Police spokesman said: “All have been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and taken to different custody centres in Sussex where they will be questioned in relation to an alleged sexual assault on a woman in July last year. A statement from Brighton and Hove Albion said: “Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club can confirm that five men associated with the club are assisting police into the investigation of an alleged offence in July last year. “The club will make no further comment at this stage.” A spokesman for AFC Bournemouth also confirmed that one of their players had been arrested.

Art exhibition in Rapa Nui, Polynesia: Extreme Survival

Chio’s luck runs out After UD Chio’s lucky away win last week against Ecaide in San Isidro, the fans and players were looking forward to the first home

game of the season. Over 100 supporters turned up for Friday’s clash with San Isidro B, and although the hardworking Chio team had

several shots at goal, San Isidro won 2-0. Chio play again tonight (Friday), against Hermano Pedro at the Mayato ground, kick-off 9pm.

Spud donation The Municipality of Granadilla de Abona, through its Department of Social Services, led by Ana Esther Flores Ventura, distributed 6,000 kilos of potatoes among the poorest families of the area thanks to a donation from the Agricultural Cooperative Benijos in La Orotava.

The president of that company, Octavio Donis Perez said, “given the dire economic situation being experienced by many families on the island and taking into account the production surplus we had in the last harvest, we’ve decided to deliver a total of 40,000 kilos to different bodies, social organizations, ONGs, shelters and municipalities on the island.” Ana Esther Flores Ventura greatly appreciated the gesture that will allow Granadilla to help needy residents on low incomes.

The Mata Ki Te Rangi Foundation and Piramides de Guimar Ethnographic Park inaugurated the exhibition “Rapa Nui. Polynesia: Extreme Survival.” The host of the presentation, Mr. Olsen was accompanied by the President of the Cabildo of Tenerife, the depu-

ty Mayor of Easter Island, the Mayor of Güímar and the Consul of Chile in Tenerife. Haoa Sonia, an archaeologist from Easter Island, was commissioned to show the guests the content of the exhibition, which is supported by the Chilean National Commission for UNESCO. The exhibition highlights how the Polynesian society

ensures their survival in an extremely impoverished environment. Rapa Nui is the most isolated island on the planet and its geographical location plus physical characteristics, prove challenging for its inhabitants. The exhibition serves as a warning of the effects of the destructive action towards the environment by human beings.

Costa Concordia catastrophe Two French nationals have been confirmed among the dead as divers and salvage teams face a race against time to recover bodies and siphon fuel from the stricken Costa Concordia.

Two bodies pulled from the wreckage earlier this week have been identified as missing passengers Jeanne Gannard and Pierre Gregoire. Their identification comes as the head of the firefighters’ diving team, Modesto Dilda, said: “There is a 12- to 24-hour window to complete operations.” His warning came amid forecasts of worsening weather, which threatened to shift the ship off the rocks and send it to the bottom of the sea. But the chief firefighters spokesman, Luca Cari, quickly responded by saying there is no deadline set for completing the search, adding that the situation is “still evolving”. Plans to remove oil from the capsized Costa Concordia have been delayed after the ship shifted precariously on a rocky ledge off the Tuscan island of Giglio. Hopes of finding anyone alive have evaporated and salvage experts are keen to begin pumping 2,300 tonnes of fuel from the vessel’s tanks. Weather conditions had been favourable since the disaster struck -

Page 8

leaving at least 11 dead and 26 missing - but the search was suspended all day on Wednesday when the ship slipped by around 5ft (1.5 metres). The search has resumed but with forecasters predicting the sea will get rougher over coming days, those carrying out the search and salvage teams are under mounting pressure. Environment Minister Corrado Clini told parliament there was a risk the ship could slip down 164ft to 295ft (50 to 90 metres) from the reef it is resting on, sparking major pollution fears. He said ship operator Costa Cruises had been instructed to ensure steps are “rapidly completed” to limit the damage if the ship’s fuel tanks rupture, including putting in place some 3,280ft (1,000 metres) of pollution barriers. Mr Clini added that fuel extraction would take at least two weeks - but could not begin until the search for survivors and bodies had been completed. It comes as authorities named one of the ship’s musicians as being among the dead. Hungarian Sandor Feher, 38, was found inside the ship on Wednesday. The violinist was reportedly seen on the deck helping crying children put on their lifejackets when he decided to return to his cabin to pack his violin.

It follows the ship’s captain Francesco Schettino - who has been put under house arrest - appearing before an Italian judge on Tuesday. He has been accused of causing the accident by coming too close to the shore so he could “make a salute” and also of abandoning ship before the evacuation was complete. According to a leaked transcript being quoted in Italian media, Schettino has admitted to investigators he made a mistake that caused the ship to hit the reef. “I was navigating by sight because I knew the depths well and I had done this manoeuvre three

or four times,” he reportedly said. “But this time I ordered the turn too late and I ended up in water that was too shallow. I don’t know why it happened.” A family from El Medano were three lucky survivors of the accident last weekend. They told Spanish press, “People were totally disoriented and panic flooded through them, we had spent the day on Friday on a visit to Rome and in the evening returned to the ship tired. We showered and stayed in the cabin to rest.” They felt a thud at about 21.30,

through the PA system they were told that there was an electrical fault. They were told to evacuate one hour after the initial collision, the ship was listing badly by this point. The lucky Tenerife family with their young daughter managed to escape by lifeboat Ironically the Costa Concordia was no stranger to Tenerife and visited Santa Cruz on a regular basis, initially on the 3rd December 2010 as the port authorities records show. And passengers regularly embarked for the Italian liners Island Escape cruise at the Santa Cruz port.

Stunned laptop thief is snapped up - in a flash!

Recovered: David Duffy (left) and Mike Birtwhistle with one of the laptops Picture: Daily Mail

A THIEF who made off with a Leicestershire student’s laptop last week got

the shock of his life shortly afterwards.

Police phoned to let him know they were on to him. And not only did they have

his telephone number, but also a picture of him actually using the laptop! Little did the thief know that the youngster had

protected his machine with Prey, an amazing application that helps track and find lost or stolen computers and phones. The free Prey software can be downloaded directly on to a device, enabling owners to trace the whereabouts of the item if it is stolen. It also provides a screenshot of a computer’s running desktop and takes a picture from computers with built-in webcams. The software allows users to trigger a range of actions, such as sound an alarm, send a message to appear on screen, or even lock the device from being used. The Prey software requires an internet connection to work, and will attempt to log-on to the nearest WiFi access point available. It can be downloaded free from www. preyproject.com There was a classic case of

“Gotcha!” late last year here in South Tenerife when a computer expert in the North of England hacked into a laptop stolen here and then used its in-built camera to catch the thief. David Duffy, a 39-year-old IT wizard from Standish, Wigan, turned detective after his business partner’s holiday home here was ransacked. Two expensive Apple MacBooks, each worth £1,000, were stolen from company director Mike Birtwhistle who asked his business colleague back home to help. David soon discovered that one of the computers was online, and, using similar software to Prey, was able to take over the controls of the laptop in Tenerife. He then accessed its inbuilt camera, which allowed him to see “through” the computer’s screen and take the snap. To complete an amazing

story, local police in Playa de Las Americas recognised the man and launched an investigation. He was arrested and both laptops were recovered, to the delight of the owner. David, a co-director with 47-year-old Mike at online company Stores Direct, said: “It is a victory for technology over crime. “I would be very cautious these days if I were a crook stealing laptops. The technology available is unbelievable.” David added: “We thought the laptops would be long gone with no chance of ever seeing them again, but suddenly Mike’s laptop came online. I realised that it was connected to the internet. “Using some remote control software that we use for trouble-shooting, I launched up the built-in webcam, which allowed me to see into the room. The guy appeared to be using another computer and his face was side on.”

Kodak file for bankruptcy protection

The iconic photography brand Kodak has applied for bankruptcy protection in New York.

Eastman Kodak, the company’s full title, has struggled to adapt to the rise of digital cameras, which obliterated much of its traditional business. The 130-year-old firm had been trying to sell the 1,100 digital imaging patents it licenses for use in mobile and other devices, as well as printers. Kodak applied to a New York court for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which shields it from creditors while the company restructures. It said that it had obtained a £615m loan from Citigroup which will allow it to continue trading. The loan and bankruptcy protection could give the company time to find buyers for the patents - key to its remaining

Page 10

value - and reshape the business. Chairman and chief executive Antonio Perez said in a statement: “The board of directors and the entire senior management team unanimously believe that this is a necessary step and the right thing to do for the future of Kodak. “Now we must complete the transformation by further addressing our cost structure and effectively monetising non-core intellectual-property assets. “We look forward to working with our stakeholders to emerge a lean, world-class, digital imaging and materials science company.” The statement said that the company expects to continue to pay employee wages and benefits. Its international operations are not affected by the application. Mr Perez said the company had moved away from its traditional film operations, “closing 13

manufacturing plants and 130 processing labs, and reducing our workforce by 47,000 since 2003”. Kodak has already reorganised its business to focus on printers, but this has failed to restore profitability. The move caps a prolonged plunge for one of America’s best-known companies, which has seen its value sink to £100m from more than £20bn 15 years ago. It was responsible for inventing the hand-held camera and also helped bring the world the first pictures taken on the moon. In 1975, Kodak invented the first digital camera, but the company delayed developing mass production of it, and were soon overtaken by rivals like Canon, Casio and Nikon. A decade ago the firm employed 70,000 people but in recent years the payroll has shrunk to below 19,000.

Renewable energy expensive?

Plans to expand renewable energy sources will cost families £400 a year by 2020, a leading think tank has warned.

Policy Exchange has accused Energy Secretary Chris Huhne of “misleading” the public by suggesting bills may go down as a result of the Government’s drive for green energy. The think tank has called on ministers to be “more transparent” and believes the Government’s green targets should be “renegotiated”. A spokesman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said £400 was “not a credible figure and appears to be based on flawed analysis”. The cost of renewable or “green” energy is a controversial topic, with both sides disputing the figures. Environmental policy needs to be debated responsibly on the basis of all the facts, and the public have a right to know the costs they will bear. Wednesday’s report came as a row brewed over whether the Government should be forced to reveal estimates for the potential costs of targets to cut carbon emissions. Dominic Raab, the Conservative MP, has highlighted a Freedom of Information request blocked by the DECC. The original request - made in February 2010 by the Director of the Taxpayers Alliance Matthew Sinclair - asked for “analysis of the potential cost of strengthened climate change commitments at Copenhagen”. The DECC responded a month later to say that it did hold the relevant information, which included seven different items ranging from a paper pre-

pared for the then Prime Minister in 2009 and notes from DECC economists. However, it declined to provide it as “disclosure would adversely affect international relations”. In November 2011, the Information Commissioner refused an appeal. Chris Huhne’s department has not agreed to the FOI request Mr Raab is now calling on the Energy Secretary to release the information. He told Sky News: “It is pretty outrageous that Labour leader Ed Miliband buried the economic impact assessment the government did on UK emission reductions offered in an effort to reach a global deal. “Environmental policy needs to be debated responsibly on the basis of all the facts, and the public have a right to know the costs they will bear. “There is every reason to believe that Chris Huhne will now release the economic assessment, given his strong stance on transparency and reducing the scope of exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act.” There is particular pressure on the Liberal Democrats because they have repeatedly called to reduce the number of exemptions. In Janary 2011, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: “The Freedom of Information Act was a good start, but it was only a start. “Exceptions remain far too common and the available information is far too often placed behind tedious bureaucratic hurdles.” In 2009, as the Lib Dem Home Affairs spokesperson, Mr Huhne campaigned to “strengthen freedom of information by giving greater powers to the information commissioner and reducing exemptions”.

Shark attack A surfer has been seriously injured after being attacked by a shark off a beach in Australia.

An ambulance service spokeswoman said the 44-year-old man suffered deep wounds to his leg as he surfed off Redhead Beach, near Newcastle, north of Sydney. “He was bitten on the upper thigh and has got a large laceration on his leg,” the spokeswoman said. “He’s currently in a serious condition and will be transported to John Hunter Hospital.” The surfer reportedly described the animal as a bull shark - a species known for its aggression and tendency to attack humans. It is the second attack in as many weeks in waters off Sydney. On January 4 another surfer was bitten on the arm by a shark off North Avoca beach. And in December a man narrowly escaped serious injury when a shark rammed his board and bit a huge chunk off it near the village

Unemployment rises UK unemployment rose by 118,000 in the three months between September and November taking the total jobless count to 2.685 million.

The figures confirm analyst expectations of a rise from last month’s figure of 2.6 million, taking the jobless rate from 8.3% to 8.4%. But benefit claims saw a smaller than expected rise of 1,200 in December to 1.6 million. Although this was the highest level since January 2010, it suggested that the labour market deterioration may be easing. Employment Minister Chris Grayling echoed the thought saying that although the level of unemployment was “clearly much too high” the figures were more complicated than the headline numbers suggest. He told Sky News the increase in those seeking Jobseekers’ Allowance, albeit small, was partly due to the Government moving some people from other benefits onto the dole so the actual figure may actually have decreased. Also employment in the private sector had increased in the three-month period, as more people took on part-time jobs. “So at the moment, just in

that one quarter at least, the private sector is creating jobs faster than the public sector is losing them,” he said. Meanwhile, a staggering 988,000 working days were lost in November due to industrial action, reflecting the effect of the public sector strike on November 30 on the official statistics. Wage growth remained muted, with average earnings up 1.9% compared to a year ago. Smaller firms are expected to shed staff in the first three months of the year according to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). The group also said the Government should be “bolder” in its changes to employment law, including exempting micro firms from proposals on pay audits. A survey of over 1,600 FSB members showed that around one in 13 planned to lay off workers in the coming months. The beginning of 2012 is beginning to look bleak, with confidence incredibly low and businesses looking to shed staff. However, things do not need to be so negative. If the Government makes the right choices and puts action into words we can turn this around. John Walker, Federation of Small Businesses chairman

FSB chairman John Walker said: “The beginning of 2012 is beginning to look bleak, with confidence incredibly low and businesses looking to shed staff. “However, things do not need to be so negative. If the Government makes the right choices and puts action into words we can turn this around. “Tinkering and increasing existing employment laws will only serve to worsen this situation, but by putting simple measures in place, such as excluding micro firms from the right to request flexible working for all, will help free businesses from the shackle of red tape so they can grow, innovate and take on new staff.” Meanwhile, the TUC has warned that the prospects of finding a job are likely to get “much worse” in the face of fresh cuts in public spending this year. It forecasts more than 700,000 jobs will be axed by the end of 2017 and say it will be even harder for the unemployed to get back into the labour market. And up to 20 job seekers are chasing every vacancy in parts of the country, five times the national average, according to a study by the think tank IPPR North.

GMT may make a tiny leap International timekeepers are due to vote on whether to abandon their practice of regularly adding a leap second to the world’s official clocks.

of Angourie, further up the east coast. Fatal attacks are rare in Australia with just 27 people killed in the past 22 years. South Africa is one of the world’s deadliest places for shark attacks.

Swimmer Lungisani Msungubana, 25, from the Transkei region, was killed while bathing at Second Beach in the rural Eastern Cape on Sunday. It is thought a bull, or Zambezi, shark was also responsible for his death.

The extra moment has been added to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) every one and a half years since 1972, to compensate for the gradual slowing in the Earth’s rotation. It keeps ‘real’ time, determined by the sun’s position in the sky, synchronised with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is governed by far more accurate atomic clocks. But the Switzerland-based International Telecommunications Union will decide whether UTC should in future ditch the leap second and instead be synced directly with 400 atomic clocks dotted around the world. The change has been mooted because modern technology needs a more precise measure of time than the ‘fake’ seconds currently added to the world’s clocks. Professor Patrick Gill, of the National Physical

Laboratory, told Sky News: “The atomic clock is a million times more reliable than earth rotation time. It’s clear you get very stable timescales from using atoms. “The main area you need precise timekeeping is for navigation, power distribution and timestamping of financial transactions. GPS uses atomic clocks to tell you where you are.” Manually adding an extra second is also a technical challenge which leaves room for potential mistakes to be made. But if leap seconds are abandoned, the sun would no longer be directly above the Greenwich meridian at what the world understands to be noon. Most people would not notice, but over a period of 600 years the offset would be 30 minutes - and countries would eventually have to change their time zones to compensate. The UK wants to retain the leap second - partly for political reasons. If the seconds were removed, the law would need to be changed to refer to UTC and not GMT. For some, that would be a blow to Britain’s prestige.

Royal Ascot tells guests: Dress to impress Fascinator headgear made popular by the Duchess of Cambridge - Kate Middleton at the time - is to be banned from the Royal Enclosure at Ascot this year. The race meeting, one of the highlights of the racing calendar and a social event of the year, is going back to its roots after having relaxed its dress code over the past few years. The decision comes amid criticism of sartorial standards which have been more loosely enforced in recent years. Thousands of visitors who flock to the less formal grandstand enclosure during the week-long meet in June will also be obliged to adhere to strict new guidelines, including longer hems and wider hats. Ascot spokesman Nick Smith said: “It is probably fair to say that the dress code hasn’t necessarily been enforced quite as

rigorously as we might have liked. “It is stretching a point to say standards have collapsed but there is no doubt that our customers would like to get back to a situation where it is universally acknowledged that this is a formal occasion and not an occasion where you might dress as you would at a nightclub.” For the Royal Enclosure - from where the Royal family watch the races - the new dress code states: “Hats should be worn; a headpiece which has a base of four inches (10cm) or more in diameter is acceptable as an alternative to a hat.” Ladies will also be expected to wear skirts or dresses of “modest length” which fall just above the knee or longer. This clarifies previous guidance which stated miniskirts were “considered unsuitable”. For gentlemen, a waistcoat and tie must be worn with either black or grey morning dress; cravats will

not be allowed. The feet must be clad in black shoes. In the grandstand, which is open to the public and subject to less

stringent rules, a hat or fascinator will be compulsory for women. This marks a significant change to previous years, when female race-

goers were simply advised that “many ladies wear hats”. Strapless or sheer-strap tops and dresses will be banned.

Human head found in Spain takes a Poor step Hollywood A severed human head has been found on a hiking trail leading up to the Hollywood sign above Los Angeles. Police are in the process of trying to discover the identity of the man. According to one report, the head belongs to an Armenian American in his 40s who had salt and pepper hair. It was found by two female dog walkers on the hillside below the sign. They had seen their dogs

playing with an object, which on closer inspection turned out to be the “relatively fresh” severed head. Detectives guarded the Canyon Drive crime scene overnight and are looking for other body parts. The hillsides around the Hollywood sign are crisscrossed with trails used by hikers, riders, and tourists seeking to reach the tinsel town symbol. The sign is visible from miles away on the northern rim of the sprawling city.

backwards RATINGS agency Standard and Poor has reduced the ranking for nine countries in Europe, with Spain’s rating down to A from AA-.

It is near the site of the grisly ‘Black Dahlia’ murder of 1947, when the horribly

mutilated body of aspiring 22-year-old actress Elizabeth Short was found.

Pro 40 Match fix A former Essex county cricketer has admitted a corruption charge linked to a NatWest Pro 40 match. Mervyn Westfield, 23, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to accepting or obtaining a corrupt payment to bowl in a way that would allow runs to be scored. The charge concerned the bowling of the first over in a one-day, 40-over match between Durham and Essex in September 2009. Westfield agreed to bowl the first over so that 12 runs could be scored, although in the event only 10 went on the board, the court heard.

Page 16

A separate charge of assisting another person to cheat at gambling was ordered to be left on file. Judge Anthony Morris said that the name of the other party involved in the deal would be known to cricket fans, but it was not revealed in court. Adjourning sentencing until February 10, Judge Morris told Westfield: “I hold out no promises to you as to the eventual outcome of this case. “It’s open to the court in this case to pass an immediate custodial sentence.” Westfield currently remains on bail.

An S&P statement said that Spain had a “strong capacity to meet the financial commitments, although it is susceptible to the adverse economic conditions”. And the agency considers the anti-crisis measures taken in Spain as “insufficient”, with the reduction coming from the “impact of the political, financial and monetary problems inside the Eurozone, where Spain is very integrated”. But new Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s reaction was to pledge spending cuts and a banking-system clean-up, as well as a “clear, firm and forceful” commitment to the euro’s future. Biggest shock from S&P was its downgrading of France, from AAA to AA, with Francois Baroin, the country’s Finance Minis-

ter, saying the reduction was “disappointing,” yet expected, and that markets were “muted”. Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia have been taken down one step, while those countries remaining the same are Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg and Holland. The European Central Bank has described the ratings reductions as “a devastating blow”, but French Prime Minister François Fillon said he expected to lose the AAA rating. France is now reported to be now studying new cutbacks, which President Nicolas Sarkozy had previously rejected. And the lower rating puts Sarkozy’s re-election chances in doubt. The tetchy subject will be discussed at the EU leaders’ summit on 30th January, when all the countries, barring the U.K. will attend, approve and sign the budgetary pact, which will then be sent to the parliaments for approval and ratification

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com Dear Editor, We have just spent a few weeks in Costa Del Silencio. We had a good time and met some very pleasant and friendly people. We also spent time in welcoming bars and restaurants and to cap it off, the weather was excellent. We found only two drawbacks to our stay. Firstly, the mindless, self-centred and inconsiderable individuals who ride their cycles on the pavement in the belief that they have right of way over pedestrians, who receive a mouthful of foul language and a chance of being run into if they don’t get out of the way. Secondly, the ignorant morons who allow and, in some cases, encourage, their dogs to foul the footpaths, parks and any other spare land, rather than pick it up and put it into a bin. The smell in some places is awful. I suppose the authorities have no intentions of stopping this fouling of areas, so I think it might be time to change the name of the place to “Dog Turd Town”. Yours Mr G ------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Editor, Bar Coronel The funeral took place on the 30th December of Teresa from bar Coronel, Los Cristianos. Teresa was well known amongst the English community and those who spend their holidays here. She will be sadly missed. God bless Teresa and rest in peace. A Los Cristianos Resident

The first meeting will be free to children aged five years upwards. To reserve your child’s place, or for more information, please call 922 778 630 or 678 905 511. The club will be held on the last Saturday of every month, and there will be a small charge of five euros per child, which will go towards the upkeep of the dogs at the refuge. Parents are welcome to stay and join in if they wish.

January continues to be a busy month for Accion staff and already, at least 10 flights for dogs to be rehomed in Germany are confirmed. Please remember if you really want to help the dogs’ plight on our Island, then please sterilise; castrate and adopt a pet from a refuge. And don’t forget to call 112 if you find a stray or abandoned

San Isidro, near primary school. Open Monday-Friday, 8.30-3, Saturdays 9-11am.

If your pet already has been vaccinated, or chipped, we still charge 70 euros and, obviously, a larger sum is paid off our account. This is in line with other refuges, who charge an adoption fee. Hospivet also offers flea and worm treatments from 11 euros for a month’s cover of Advocate, and will discuss neutering and spaying options with you.

A handful of mysterious objects were found on the island years ago, including a rare Roman stone phallus and a beautiful bronze stag, suggesting that it may have been some sort of religious centre. Of course, the Team have to dig for answers, but the weather's throwing everything it has at them. To make their task that bit tougher, the Team discover they also need to dig at a second site a quarter of a mile away.

Team leader Francis Pryor thinks it looks like what they're investigating is a classic Iron Age fort, with curved banks and ditches on one side and a sheer cliff on the other. If he's right, it should give Phil Harding and his team of diggers at least enough work to keep them busy for three days. And if he's wrong, there's no hiding place on this beautiful but bleak coast!

9:00 - 10:50 PM - Channel 4 Danny Boyle's part Film4-funded, multi Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated, fact-based drama stars James Franco as a mountain climber who gets himself into a desperate predicament. When adrenaline junkie Aaron Ralston (Franco) sets off to conquer a canyon in the stunning landscape of a Utah national park, he has no idea quite how bad a day he's in for. His trip starts out well

20 January - 26 January 2012

enough, bumping into Kristi (Kate Mara) and Megan (Amber Tamblyn), a couple of foxy female hikers, but it starts its inexorable decline when he heads off to tackle Blue John Canyon - solo, with no means of communication on him and without telling anyone his plans. So, when he quickly and irreversibly gets his arm stuck under a rock, he's utterly on his own. All he's carrying is a miniscule supply of food and water

and - crucially - a small multitool. During the 127 hours he's pinned to the canyon wall, Ralston weighs his options, mentally replays the key points of his life and loves, drifts into delirium, and, finally, summons the sheer grit and force of will needed to commit the act that could give him a slim chance of survival. And the squeamish may need to look away and plug their ears when he does so!

10:00 - 11:05 pm - Channel 4 Across the UK a culture of weekend binge drinking is in full swing. In the battle to deal with over a million drink-related casualties a year, mobile medical units, known as 'Booze Buses', are parking up in towns across the country in a bid to ease the pressure on overstretched A&E departments. Filmed over a summer in one of Britain's hardest drinking towns - Colchester, Essex this documentary, the first in a three-part series, tells

Page 28

the story of one SOS Bus, its volunteer paramedics, and the patients they treat. Every weekend, Colchester sees thousands of revellers out and about in its town centre. Waiting to take in the inebriated is the resident SOS Bus which is funded by local clubs and pubs. Run by teams of paramedics and volunteers whose day jobs range from a car mechanic to an advertising account manager, the team give up their free time to patch up the wounded. From accidental falls and

trips to the victims and instigators of alcohol and drugfuelled fights, the team have seen it all and have to be prepared for whatever enters their bus. The varied characters they treat on film include a bloodied young man on a bachelor party after being bottled in a bar, an off duty soldier who is treated for a nasty bite on his nose, and a group of cave girls out on a hen night. There are tears, tantrums and a few red faces - all in a night's work for the SOS team.

Inflation falls UK inflation dropped sharply in December, with the biggest one-month fall in the consumer prices index (CPI) since April 2009. CPI fell to 4.2%, from 4.8% in November, according to the Office for National Statistics. This was in line with expectations. It is now at the lowest level since June last year, with CPI reaching a three-year peak of 5.2% in September. Inflation also fell in the eurozone - from 3% in November to 2.7% in December. Michael Saunders, chief European economist at Citigroup, told Sky News he expects UK consumer inflation to continue to drop, reaching 2% by the end of the year. In Britain, the retail prices index (RPI), which includes hous-

ing costs, also dropped, from 5.2% to 4.8%. The fall was slightly less than the 4.7% forecasted. The falls were prompted by heavy retail discounting, particularly on clothing, and a supermarket price war in the run-up to Christmas. Many of the promotions began earlier than usual. Falling gas and petrol also contributed to the drop, announced on Tuesday. The fall in the rate of inflation is likely to reinforce arguments in favour of holding interest rates at historic lows of 0.5%, with some predicting they will be held there until 2016. Earlier this month, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) said shop price inflation fell to 1.7% in December - down from 2% in November - its

www.canarianweekly.com

lowest level for 16 months. The rate of inflation for nonfood items was at a two year low of 0.3%, and significantly down on 0.8% in the previous month. This was driven by price cuts on electrical items, clothes and footwear, with many items cheaper than they were a year ago. However, the BRC said food prices rose 4.2%, which was slightly higher than November’s 4% increase, despite the high level of supermarket discounts. A supermarket price war broke out after Tesco announced a £500m price-cutting campaign, Asda guaranteed to be 10% cheaper than its rivals and Sainsbury’s launched its own brand price matching scheme.

Mirrors are the new big Get ready for the social interiors trend for 2012 summer of the century As 2011 becomes just a reflection, we look forward to what 2012 will bring – particularly in terms of home trends.

One key interior design trend for 2012 is the creative use of mirrors and surrounds by dramatically increasing the amount of light. One increasingly popular technique is to introduce high gloss, shiny materials, such as decorative mirrors and mirrored furniture – taking reflection to a new level!

With 2012 being jampacked with fantastic events - the Queen’s Jubilee, the London Olympics and Paralympics and the Euro Football Championships for starters - the year will be a busy one for get-togethers. Research from GFK showed that during the 2010 World Cup summer period, 1 in 4 UK households bought a bever-

Gardening week Almond Trail is blossoming out! The RHS is pulling out all the stops to ensure the first ever National Gardening Week in the UK, 16–22 April 2012, is action packed to get the nation growing.

The charity hopes its plans will help trigger ideas and grow momentum to engage more schools, communities, gardeners, organisations and the garden trade to support the week. Visit www.rhs.org. uk/nationalgardeningweek or www.facebook.com/nationalgardeningweek to get involved and share ideas. On Saturday and Sunday, 14-15 April, the weekend before National Gardening Week, local groups across Britain in RHS Britain in Bloom, supported by Anglian Home Improvements, are inviting everyone to volunteer to help transform their community and celebrate the 2012 launch of the nationwide campaign. Sue Biggs, RHS Director General, says, “It is fantastic that this inaugural gardening week combines with the Britain in Bloom launch and the year of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee to get the nation growing and looking beautiful in such a special year.”

On Wednesday 18 April, the RHS is coordinating Horticulture; A Career To Be Proud Of Day, headed up by Alan Titchmarsh, to communicate how every aspect of horticulture and gardening is a career to be proud of. Talks and workshops by inspirational people who work across the gardening world will take place at the RHS London headquarters and at all four RHS Gardens in Surrey, North Yorkshire, Essex and Devon. Compost day is the theme of Thursday 19 April, when the RHS will provide extensive advice and top tips to encourage and help the nation to get composting. The charity is also asking local authorities throughout Britain to support Compost Day. As the weekend is getting near, Friday 20 April is all about getting kids gardening. The RHS will launch a new Campaign for School Gardening initiative at its first major gardening show of the year, RHS Show Cardiff (20-22 April). Over the weekend of 21-22 April there will be fun and interactive activities for gardeners of all ages and levels of experience at the four RHS Gardens with opportunities to get growing with RHS gardeners and committee members.

WALKERS on this year’s Almond Blossom Trail will have a choice of two routes to follow next Saturday (28th January).

It is the most colourfullyscented tradition of all, and takes place in the Santiago del Teide region. And such is the event’s popularity that people are asked to register to ensure their place on the nature walk – and pay a four-euro fee. Just phone the Ayuntamiento’s Culture Department

from Monday on 922 863 127 (ext 234) 8am-3pm, or visit Santiago del Teide’s Cultural Department. Hundreds of almond trees grow in this natural landscape, and they blossom during January and February, which is a unique, natural phenomenon in winter. The first route, regarded as “high difficulty”, will start from the Valley Manor Hotel (Hotel Señorío del Valle) and should take about 4½ hours. The lesser, three-hour trail (medium-to-low difficulty),

begins at the Calvary of the Barrens in the Top Valley. Both walks start at 8.30am and will pass through the Chinyero Forest Reserve and go on to Arguayo. In addition to the walk the Council, under the slogan Santiago del Teide ... Different by Nature, is planning a series of cultural events over the coming weeks associated with the Almond Trail, involving holidays, traditional products, food linked to the almond nut and exhibitions.

This week`s garden jobs On Monday 16th April the charity’s advisory service will open its doors and provide a Gardening SOS service. For one day, anyone in the UK can gain from a major RHS membership benefit by asking experts for help with thorny gardening problems and get gardens blooming. The following day is themed Gardens of the Nation, when the RHS will ask everyone in the UK to send their best pictures of their garden for the charity’s award-winning Lindley Library archives to provide a historical record of gardens today.

20 January - 26 January 2012

“There are more exciting plans in the pipeline, which we’ll be announcing in the lead up to the week,” continues Sue Biggs, “In the meantime I hope that people get in touch to share how they want to celebrate the week or get involved with our activities. “We’ve had a fantastic response so far from hundreds of people, communities, schools, councils and businesses. We want thousands and thousands of people to get onboard and start planning now to get the best out of National Gardening Week to get the nation growing.”

Dear Christine

carl pattison

Your resident Agony Aunt

from Robot, answers your hair questions

It shouldn’t be hair-raising! I OFTEN get told, and hear about it as well, that hairdressing is expensive. I hear phrases like “Yeh, I want my hair to look like this, but I don’t want to keep paying out for it”. But having your hair done isn’t like visiting the dentist. It should be a treat because it’s all about what is important to you. Do you want to look good and keep up to your image? If your hair is coloured, then looking after that root regrowth shouldn’t be a strain on your budget. Yes, I know we are still in a crisis, but if having your hair done is important to you, it shouldn’t break the bank. On average, we cut our hair every six weeks, which is around 80 cents a day to look fabulous (based on an average-priced haircut and blow dry). Now, value for moneywise, I think that works out quite well. And if finding that leaves you short, then do what many people do and put a little money away every week to budget for this. I sound as though I’m telling you folk how to spend your money, but I’m not. It’s just that I listen to my clients and a little money-saving suggestion seems to work. Having a big bill to contend with seems to frighten people off from having their hair done, but try to look at the cost of your hairdressing appointment BEFORE you reach the cash desk to pay. Many salons here ADD ON. In other words, you ask for a price and it seems reasonable. Then they add on your special shampoo, treatment conditioner, mousse, and even charge for your coffee.

Page 40

All these should be included in the price, because who wants a nasty shock when they arrive to pay? Ask questions about the total cost as you book your appointment, too. This gives you a guide as what to expect to pay after your treatment has finished. If looking after your hair is one of your priorities, then think about what you are getting for your money. Does your cut look good for the full six weeks, or does it start to look shabby after only three? It’s all about value for money because you get what you pay for. You may find that looking around for a cheap fix, or a

one-off offer, actually costs you more in the long run. So look around at what service you are receiving for your money and think: “Do I actually like what I’m paying for?” Or are you just treating your hair like it’s a chore that has to be done? We feel inside what we project outside most of the time, so looking good on the outside has a positive effect on the inside as well. Spend your money wisely and if you are really stuck for cash, ask your stylist if there is another way to cut or colour your hair to make it last that bit longer. If they really want to look after you, I’m sure they are going to help.

Dear Christine, My partner has decided that we’re moving to mainland Spain so he can work in the family restaurant. He expects us to get married and start a family there, but I adore my life in Tenerife! I have a job I worked hard to get and some really good friends. I love my partner and we’ve been happy together for three years, but I realise now that he never really listens to my point of view. He never proposed, but just took it for granted that I’d want to marry him. I do want to get married to him one day, but I’m not sure I’m ready yet, and I feel I’m too young to start a family. Please help, JM

Is it wise to marry a man who doesn’t listen to you, who puts the needs of others before yours and who expects to make all the decisions in your lives? Your answer to those questions may be all that’s needed for you to make the choice that’s right for you. If you are still unsure, why not try a trial period of, say, six months in mainland Spain, holding off on the marriage plans? However, that would mean losing the job you worked so hard to secure, with little chance of getting it back if you returned to Tenerife. The decision of where you go from here has to be yours. It

does seem to me, though, reading between the lines, that you know your best move would be to end the relationship. If so, start to focus on what you’ll do when you’re on your own. Maybe you’ll need a new home, for example. You obviously have some good friends who’ll be there as support while you rebuild your life. I wish you good luck and a happy, fulfilling future with a man who respects your individuality and values your opinion. Never underestimate how vital those things are! Christine Dear Christine My mother put me in care when I was four years old and seldom visited me over the years. I’m now 32, I need to borrow £5,000 and was thinking of my mother as a last resort. She has lived in the same house all her life, so I know where she is. I’ve met a lovely girl who lives in England, so I’m going back there to train as a driving instructor and rebuild my life. Surely I deserve something from my mother after all these years? Lee

I’m sorry that you were put in care at such a young age. It sounds like you’ve always resented your mother for that, and it’s entirely understandable. I don’t know why she acted as she did.

Maybe she thought you’d be better off without her, or she couldn’t cope financially, or was suffering from depression or illhealth of some other kind. It may simply have been that she was selfish and didn’t want to be bothered with a young child, but this motive is very rare. So where does that leave you? It’s possible that your mother is in dire straits financially herself. What if she has enough money, though, but doesn’t want to help? Wouldn’t you feel more rejected than ever? Money can’t make up for the time you spent without her. Besides, you’ve survived, you’ve hopefully built reliable, supportive relationships and you have the confidence to start your life again, as you obviously did in the past when you moved out to Tenerife. Maybe it’s time you let go of that old hurt, congratulated yourself on your strength and abilities and looked elsewhere for the money you need. Good luck.

Brits spending more to keep their perfect bodies in shape BRITONS are likely to spend even more this year on leisure activities at private health and fitness clubs. Last year, the market for these private clubs market was worth £2.7 billion, up 17% between 2006 and 2011, with a 2% increase between 2010 and 2011. Mintel’s latest research, tackling Brits about leisure spending in the past 12 months, found people using the centres were least likely to trim their keep-fit spending on them during the past year. Just three in10 consumers admit that they have cut back on health clubs over the past 12 months, 56% have not changed their spending habits, while 14% say they have spent more. As a result, the private health and fitness club sector s has the lowest net spending decline of all leisure activities, amounting to 16% only in the past year. Michael Oliver, Senior Leisure Analyst at Mintel, said: “Spending on using a private

health and fitness club and a public leisure centre both feature highly among the areas least likely to have been cut back, reflecting the perception that they are seen as offering excellent value on a monthly basis, particularly if used frequently. “Although they are seen, traditionally, as an easy suggestion for saving money, the reality is that consumers have actually increased their spending at the gym.” He added: “There is even a suggestion that some members have used their gym membership as a way of saving money, because they also help keep people from doing other activities, such as going to the pub or eating out. “That can easily cost the same amount in a single night as a month’s gym membership. Health clubs can also be used socially, to catch up with friends either while working out or in the café-bar afterwards.” Similarly, in terms of spending intentions on private health and fitness clubs, mem-

bers are the least likely to cut back in the next 12 months (22%), and are the most likely to say they will spend more (11%). This is closely followed by users of public leisure centres, with just 23% planning to cut back their spending, while one in 10 will spend more. Michael Oliver said: “The fact that keep-fit consumers are not planning on cutting back means that gym memberships are no longer considered a frivolous luxury. “They are actually seen by many as an essential part of their daily lifestyles - part of keeping healthy and fit in the same way that watching what they eat and drink is. “The public leisure centres and swimming pools sector has probably benefited in similar ways to health clubs, with users spanning a broader range of socio-economic groups. “But the rate of growth has probably not been as high because family consumers have been particularly hit hard by the economic downturn.”

Val Sainsbury Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com

Bacon’s shock cancer risk EATING two rashers of bacon or just one sausage a day can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer - and that risk goes up if a person eats more.

That’s the equivalent of 50g of processed meat daily, and scientists in Sweden are adamant it raises the risk by 19%, compared with those who do not eat processed meat at all. For people consuming double this amount of processed meat, the increased risk jumps to 38%, and is 57% for those eating 150g a day. However, the experts cautioned that the overall risk of pancreatic cancer was relatively low. In the UK, for instance, the lifetime risk of developing the disease is one in 77 for men and one in 79 for women. Nevertheless, the disease is deadly. It is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage and kills 80% of people in under a year. Only 5% of patients are still alive five years after diagnosis. The latest study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, comes from the respected Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. There, researchers examined data from 11 studies, including 6,643 cases of pancreatic cancer. They found inconclusive evidence on the risks of eating red meat overall, compared to eating no red meat. They also found a 29% increase in pancreatic cancer risk for men eating 120g per day of red meat, but no increased risk among women. This may be because men in the study tended to eat more red meat than women.

Professor Susanna Larsson, who led the study, said links to other cancers were controversial. “It is known that eating meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer, but it’s not so much known about other cancers. “Pancreatic cancer has poor survival rates. So, as well as diagnosing it early, it’s important to understand what can increase the risk of this disease.” Prof Larsson added: “Findings from this meta-analysis indicate that processed meat consumption is positively associated with pancreatic cancer risk. But further, prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.” Alex Ford, chief executive of Pancreatic Cancer UK, said: “We are keen to see more research like this. It helps improve our understanding about which aspects of diet and lifestyle may have a bearing on the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. “These findings, if confirmed by further studies, could help inform people on which lifestyle factors could play a role in limiting their chances of developing the disease.” It is another blow to the meat industry, which has already had to accept an established link between red meat and bowel cancer. Jessica Harris, health information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: “The study authors say one reason could be that some of the chemicals used to preserve processed meat are turned in our bodies into some really harmful chemicals, which can affect our DNA and increase the chance of cancer.” The World Cancer Research Fund is advising consumers

to limit their intake of cooked red meat to 500g a week and to avoid processed meat altogether. Dr Rachel Thompson, from the Fund, said: “There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of pancreatic cancer, and this study may be an early indication of another factor behind the disease. “But regardless of this latest research, we have already established a strong link between eating red and processed meat , and your chances of developing bowel cancer, which is why WCRF recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g cooked weight a week and avoid processed meat altogether.” Bristol pig-breeder Mark Hook believes moderation and quality meat is the key, saying: “Eat in moderation, but source quality meat. If people buy locally, they know where it is from and what it has been fed, but a knee-jerk reaction to this is simply scaremongering.” However, it is believed that smoking is a greater risk to contracting the disease. Sara Hiom, director of information at Cancer Research UK, said: “We know that smoking significantly ramps up the risk of pancreatic cancer. “Stopping smoking is the best way to reduce your chances of developing many types of cancer and other diseases as well.” Symptoms of pancreatic cancer include an unexplained weight loss, weakness, nausea and loss of appetite, itching of skin, fever, diabetes, and an abdominal pain described as a dull, gnawing ache spreading to the back.”

You’re too fat to be scanned

... so pop along to the zoo!

NATIONAL Health Service hospitals are asking zoos and vets to scan patients who are too fat to fit into hospital scanners.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) says its CT scanners, customised for horses, could be used to accommodate patients weighing 30 stone or more, but they would need a special licence to scan humans. Doctor Rizal Dharma’s, a registrar for geriatrics at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, West London, said he was told to refer obese patients to London Zoo when he was training. Curiously, referring patients to zoos is commonplace in America, where obesity has reached epidemic levels.

Doctor Dharamshi wrote on his blog: “Imagine the humiliation for the patient. ‘I’m sorry sir but you are too fat to have a CT scan, so we are going to have to send you to the zoo, where they are used to dealing with larger specimens’.” However a spokesperson from the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, which oversees St Mary’s Hospital, said: “We have never

referred or been asked to refer a patient to London Zoo, or the Royal Veterinary College, for scanning.” London Zoo also denied scanning obese patients, but a Royal Veterinary College spokeswoman confirmed they had been approached. She said “We have been approached on several occasions, but have always said we are licensed only to perform scans on animals.”

Brush each corner of the wrapper with the cornflour paste, then bring the two opposite corners on the sides together and, keeping your finger on those edges, bring the bottom corner towards the middle and then roll the pastry up tightly towards the top corner. Tuck the top edge in and seal it with a little of the beaten egg yolk. Repeat with the remaining spring roll wrappers and filling. 5.

Ryanair boost budget airline

Budget airline Ryanair has announced it is boosting its workforce by 1,000 and adding another 35 planes to its fleet this year.

The new posts will be a mixture of cabin crew, pilots, engineers and sales roles and based across Europe, primarily in the UK, Denmark, Poland, Spain and Cyprus. The move will swell the no-frills airline’s 8,000-strong staff by almost 10% and increase its fleet from 270 to 305 aircraft, a rise of 13%. Ryanair said recruitment will focus on workers from the UK and Ireland, Slovakia, Poland, Portugal, Hungary, Spain and Italy. But none of the positions will be located in Ireland, the airline’s home, where the economic outlook remains gloomy. The Dublin-based company said this was because of high airport charges and travel taxes. Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: “While Ryanair has grown rapidly to become the No.1 airline in Spain, Italy, the UK and many other EU countries, we continue to reduce flights, traffic and job numbers here in Ireland, where the DAA monopoly airports are totally uncompetitive. He added: “Ryanair believes that Ireland can return to strong traffic, tourism and jobs growth. “But only when the new government delivers on its promise to scrap the tourist tax, reduce the DAA’s high airport charges to com-

petitive levels, to put Ireland back in the market as a low cost tourist destination, and end the failed policy of protecting the high cost, traffic declining DAA airport monopoly.”

Ryanair has said it expects its total traffic to grow from 76 million passengers in 2011 to 80 million in 2012. Last year, it carried more international scheduled passengers than any

other airline, according to the International Air Transport Association. In November, Ryanair reported a 20% increase in half-year net profits, despite higher oil prices.

The Irish carrier said it expected to make a profit of 440m euros (£366m) for its 2011 financial year, up from a previous forecast of 400m euros (£332m).

‘Good deed’ by striking We’re the Jet-set, not you,

Iberia pilots grounds says angry airline director our tourism delegates AIR pilots’ union SEPLA planned its latest series of one-day strikes to avoid disrupting this week’s trade fair in Madrid. But it backfired spectacularly on Tuesday. A plane scheduled to carry the Mayors and Tourist Councillors of Santiago del Teide, Arona, Granadilla de Abona and San Miguel to Madrid for Wednesday’s opening ceremony failed to get off the ground. A “technical fault” led to a lengthy delay, so the Tenerife party were put up in the Hotel Medano in the hope of catching a 2am flight. Meanwhile, Iberia pilots are backing SEPLA’s three additional one-day strikes, this coming Wednesday, Friday and the following Monday (25th, 27th and 30th Jan). The action comes after four previous

walk-outs in protest at Iberia’s plan to start Iberia Express, a new low-cost carrier. The SEPLA union said it has picked the dates with care, so that they would not affect the trade fair which ends on Sunday. To add to the airline’s woes, cabin crew and ground staff are also mounting an ongoing series of Monday and Friday strikes from 3rd February. A meeting on Tuesday confirmed the stoppages, with 11 out of 13 union members on the company’s works committee voting in favour of the move. It could affect 21,000 workers involved in handling, cargo, maintenance, trade and operational activities. Iberia chief Rafael Sánchez Lozano warned that the situation “could become unmanageable”.

EasyJet ‘discrimination’ costs 70,000 euros A FRENCH court has found budget airline easyJet guilty of discriminating against three disabled passengers in 2008 and 2009. EasyJet was fined 70,000 euros (£58,000) for refusing to allow the three unaccompanied wheelchair-users on to a plane at Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris because of concerns over security, maintained the company. The airline denied discrimination, but a lawyer for the passengers involved said it was a “landmark ruling”.

AIRLINE operator Jet2.com has threatened legal action against new company JetXtra.com because, it says, customers will be misled and confused.

Jet2.com believes the name could lead travellers to believe that JetXtra.com is associated with its own business. The new airline, which plans flights from Humberside airport to Malaga and Palma from June, has received a solicitor’s letter from Jet2.com asking it to surrender all rights to the JetXtra name.

The company was given until yesterday (Thursday), to act, but JetXtra.com director Daniel Reilly, said: “This would be a big setback, and would mean a complete rebranding. “The only similarity between our companies is the word ‘jet’. Our logos and websites are completely different. And Jet2.com operates from Leeds Bradford airport, serving and targeting a different market.” He added: “We give the general public a lot more credit and do not believe they would confuse our two companies.” A spokesperson for Jet2.com and

Jet2holidays.com said: “We fully support free and fair competition in the airline and travel industry. “However, our concern is that recently-announced JetXtra.com is a company name very similar to our long-established names. “A significant number of consumers would be misled or confused into believing that JetXtra.com is associated with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.com, and the products and services we offer to consumers across the North of England, including the Humber and Lincolnshire.”

Stylish Zetec S is focused on being sporty stand-in FORD are offering UK buyers the sportiest Focus model yet to tide them over until the ST arrives later this year. The Focus Zetec S is available with four engine options, including the range-topping 177-horsepower, 1.6-litre 180PS EcoBoost petrol, which features fuel-saving ECOnetic technologies. It boasts a six-speed gearbox and a top speed of 138mph, which is enough for a 0-62 mph sprint in 7.9secs. True, it’s a far cry from the 246 horsepower which will be available in the ST, but buyers looking for a little style without any of the “go” may find something to smile about in the Zetec S. That’s because it has a full sports suspension, with stiffer springs and dampers for slightly improved handling. A full aero kit is part of the package, complete with front and rear spoilers, new side-skirts, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lamps and sport pedals. It will be priced from £18,745 (22,295 euros) on the road, which is equivalent to a Focus Titanium. Anthony Ireson, Ford Britain marketing director, said: “Zetec S models have always been popular with UK customers, and we are delighted to welcome our new Focus Zetec S to the range. “With sporty, exterior body-styling and impressive performance

SEAT take first steps into Chinese market SPANISH car-makers SEAT have just exported their first models to China - 250 Leons - and there’s more on the way. The company expect to sell around 3,500 cars in China this year alone and, subsequently, concentrate their efforts on other emerging markets, such as Russia. Ramón Paredes, Vice-President of the company’s Government and Institutional Relations, said their export business would enable them to increase production by 3% this year. He was speaking at Barcelona Port as the Leons, built at SEAT’s Martorell plant, some 30km away, were loaded on to a cargo ship bound for China. And other models, including the best-selling Ibiza, will follow in future exports. It is their first venture in an Asian country, but Paredes added: “Mexico, Latin America and Russia are working well for us, and we hope to see SEAT penetrate more international markets looking for

20 January - 26 January 2012

cars with design, sportiness and Latin spirit.” This new export opens up the first regular route for shipping vehicles to China from Barcelona, with cars being off-loaded in Guanzhoy or Tianjin, and SEAT plan

to send about 400 vehicles a month there. Paredes said the move into China was in line with policies introduced by their multi-national parent, Volkswagen, who are currently building their sixth plant in the Asian country.

and economy, this latest addition is set to be another showroom hit.” Options include the technology-laden Driver Assistance Pack which has received several awards, cruise control with Active Speed Limiter and a Zetec S interior pack. This features Inferno Red partial leather, heated front seats, power driver seat and power rear windows, which sounds really grand considering it is only supposed to be a stop-gap model Inside, changes include a raised centre console between the driver and passenger seats, alloy covers on the pedals and Ford’s ‘Power’ engine start button. The seats themselves are more heavily contoured to hold you tightly, while the leather on the steering wheel adds to the sporting feel.

Otherwise, it’s all just standard Focus, which means the dashboard is well constructed, if rather busy, and backlit in blue. The space on offer is as good as ever, although if you want the additional carrying capacity of an estate, you’ll need to wait until February for a Zetec S wagon. This Focus genuinely feels like a quality machine. All the controls act with wellengineered precision, and the car feels solidly engineered throughout. These are characteristics that make a car satisfying to own every day, even though they can’t be measured against the stopwatch. On the other hand, the new diesel Zetec S feels quick rather than outrageously rapid on the road, with the engine’s low-rev torque giving effortless progress.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable HAVING spent the festive period at the summit of Division 1, Bar 180 A were pushed back down into second after Xtreme Sports bar won two matches in a week to reclaim top spot. However, my scouts tell me that they struggled somewhat because of the Xmas pud after-effects! For their part, Bar 180 A beat The Pub 6-2, while Phoenix Bar had the same winning margin over Target Army. A winning Cozy Wanderers team were given a tough test at Tavern, and Barracudarts Boys took the trebles to earn all the points at Target Titans. La Central had to call on their veterans’ experience to claim the last leg and a victory over Bar 180 B, while Ensecan had an easier time as they hammered Yelas 7-1. Elsewhere, Gaffers put in a stirling effort to finish allsquare with Toscales Tornados.

Surprise scoreline of the night in Division 2 was La Caña Lancers’ 6-2 win over high-flying Cafe Rood B, which seriously dents any promotion hopes the Rood team may have had. Sundowners remain on track for the title after a comfortable win over the Playgirls, and Scuffy Macs look to have third spot in the bag after beating Summerland Hopefuls. The young guns of Ourplace Naturals (not you, Fluff!) continue to impress and, with Nathan hitting his first 180 of the season, they thumped Trap Door 7-1. Palms Sports Bar put in a fine shift, taking the trebles and all the points at Tenerife Sun, and Barracudarts repeated that during a 5-3 win against Bad Girls/Boys. Finally, Sunshine Bar just scraped a win at home to the Flames, while Valle Vikings and Marilyns had to settle for a draw.

Tenerife derby dismay Vecindario 1 CD Tenerife 1 OUCH! This hurt. It will certainly be chalked down as two points lost in the quest for promotion.

A near full-house saw a drab game burst into life late in the day. Both teams had their chances to grab the win and it looked as though it would be the visitors, five minutes from time. Kitoko was bundled over in the box and a cool Perona slotted home to cue mass celebrations from the large travelling contingent. But life is never easy for CD Tenerife fans and, with literally the last touch of the match, Vecindario stole a point. There seemed little danger from the corner-kick, but Sergio Aragoneses dropped a howler and Futre grabbed the gift goal. D’oh. Nobody is going to give Sergio any grief because he has been magnificent for Tenerife, but even so. When your luck is not in … There were plus points. It was another away point, Pablo Sicilia returned to action and the fans really got behind the side. However, the sides above Tenerife won. Real Oviedo hit five and look champions-elect, while Rayo B continue to narrow the gap. As with most sides during the transfer window, there is a lot of paper speculation. Argentine centre-back Ezequiel Luna has moved on, joining LDU Quito in Ecuador. It’s hard to believe what happened with the likeable grafter. He played a big part in our promotion year, played regularly during the La Liga season two years ago and was happy to stay

when Tenerife went down again. He took a pay cut, was made club captain and was then forced to move to Real Murcia. However, they failed to sell two players, so couldn’t afford Luna’s wages. Meanwhile, Tenerife had budgeted for his departure and didn’t want him back when the deal fell through. So, stuck in limbo, he has returned to South America and we wish him and his young family well. Tenerife’s star player, Omar, is also on the move. His loan at Almeria has been terminated after he failed to start a single league match. The Spanish Under-21 international is now set to move to Huesca until the end of the season. He will link up with former Tenerife left-back Rafa Clavero and keeper Bernardo. A few fringe players could move on in the next few days. Abel is still interesting Vecindario, while striker Germain could go out on loan. Strangely, there is a strong word that young defender Ayoze could also be on his way. He has done okay and has seen a fair bit of match time. But with Sicilia back and Medina and Tarantino the more experienced options, he could benefit from a move. The last player set for a switch is Nico. The exciting youngster started the season with a bang but has struggled to even make the bench recently. As with Josmar, who has also been sent out on loan, coach Antonio Calderon seems to favour a different sort of player. Tricky, skilful players are not for him. Nico said on Wednesday that he was feeling a little left

out. “I came to Tenerife to join a massive club and it has been a real experience,” he stressed. “Of course I want to play, and it is frustrating. I do not know what will happen. I want to stay and do well for the club.” Second Division Guadalajara are keen to take him on loan. He would be a loss and is the sort of player who can change a match. Tenerife are not blessed with too many of those type of players and I honestly hope he stays. One player who looks set to join is Luis Loro, or Luismi as he is known. The veteran winger has been around the block and Tenerife would be his 10th club. He has been at high-flying Elche this season but he has spent most of the time on the bench or in the stand. There is no shame in that as Elche are charging towards La Liga, powered by the goals of former Tenerife player Angel. Luismi had a fine season at Castellon at this standard last season and knows what is required, but it is unlikely he will be signed in time for this weekend’s match. Sporting B visit the Heliodoro this Sunday for a noon kick-off. They sit comfortably in mid-table and they should provide another stern test. They are smart at home and keep it tight at the back. Their keeper, Raul, is one of the best in the league and they are more than capable of leaving with something. Away draws at Rayo B and Albacete have been backed up by a fine win at Getafe B. But with only leaders Real Madrid Castilla at home, Tenerife must get another home win to stay in touch.

THE top four sides in Division One all won last Tuesday, and the title should be contested between them. Champions Palms Bar showed their resilience as they fought back from the brink of defeat to win at home against Atlantis Sharks. The Adeje lads played some fine pool to take an early 3-1 lead and, with the doubles shared, they were firm favourites to get the job done. But Palms roared back. JT despatched Alan and Roscoe levelled the contest as he beat Darren. Both Graham and Paul Dwyer had their chances to win the ninth frame and only Paul knows how he missed an easy looking black. Graham took the late Christmas present to give Palms the lead for the first time, and the deciding rubber was just as tight. But Adi sunk the final black to seal a miserable night for Paul G and give Palms a vital win. They are still in the title shake-up, a few points adrift but with games in hand. Summerland Superstars lead the way. They managed miraculously to find enough players to thump Dreamers, while Hoops thrashed rock-bottom Toscales Old Boys 9-1. Third-placed Tenerife Hammers A were made to work hard by Bar Tasca before they came through 6-4. Bar 180 C continued their fine recent run as they won 7-3 at normal homers Phoenix Knights. Legends played a ringer in John, but they were always too strong for an outof-sorts Terrace Bar A. Gaffers A battled back from 3-1 down to beat Summerland Allstars, while Nauta A looked all over Bar

180 A before grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. They have now lost seven on the spin. Hat-tip goes to Target Bar. Rob’s lads upset the applecart as they demolished Trap Door 8-2. Last week, I ventured that Barracuda Bandits might be starting to wobble, and their lead at the top of Division Two is now just four points. They looked on course for another win at home against Target Rangers before a stunning fightback. George and Claire won the final rubbers to steal a draw and cap a fine night for the Target Bar. For once, Phoenix Potters took advantage of the Bandits’ slip as they edged out Exiles A 6-4. It was as close as the scoreline suggests, and the defeat puts Exiles six points behind second-placed Phoenix after a costly loss. Bar La Cana lead the charge following a win over Lupain, and keep a close eye on Inn The Pink. Last year they finished like a train but just missed out on promotion, and this year they are at it again. The narrow 6-4 beating of Connors was their fourth in a row. Summerland Elite are still in contention after an 8-2er over Mountain Rangers, while Atlantis Crew handed Fat Nick’s TPT team a 7-3 defeat. In a tight round of matches, Nauta B and Terrace B drew, as did Market Taverners and Tenerife Hammers C. Toscales A-Team stayed unbeaten in 2012 as they accounted for Barracuda Hunters 8-2. There are a few changes to Division Three after Lucky Leprachaun withdrew and all their results ex-

punged. This has allowed C&A Titans to open up a five-point lead after they beat Exiles B 7-3. Dos Hermanos are still in the mix, and the Los Cristianos crew won 7-3 at Dragon’s Denn. The division’s top player, Ian, lost both matches as his Next Door side crashed 7-3 at James Place. And Legendary Jokers will be delighted with their 8-2er at Jardin Canario. Bull Ring Tarven and Daves Lounge shared the spoils 5-5. This Tuesday, the big boys enter the Toddys Gold Label Cup. The second-round draw has thrown up some potential giant-killers. Tenerife Hammers C will fancy their chances at home to Bar 180 C, but the visitors do play well in Torviscas. Gaffers B will give it their all at home to Trap Door, while Connors could upset Toscales Old Boys. And can Phoenix Potters beat Summerland Elite to give the league leaders another early cup exit?

Horoscopes of the week AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Your dreams finally stand a chance of becoming a reality. Your confidence is given a boost by the things people say to you, and the actions that a close one makes on your behalf. News of a birth or pregnancy may shock or surprise you, but will end up being a happy addition to your circle.

ARIES (March 21st -April 20th) Love and romance are on the cards for you single people out there, and you start to realise that you can afford to aim high and ask for what you want. A lack of confidence last month really took its toll on your personal life, but you’ve learned a lot from what you experienced, which is also why you’ll appreciate what is in store for your future. TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) Forced changes turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Don’t tell friends and family too much about what you’re planning yet, or they could put you off with their views and opinions. You and I know you’re on the right track, and only time will prove to those watching that you are. Events on Thursday are your first step towards showing people what you’re made of. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) This is a really good time to make peace with close ones you haven’t been seeing eye to eye with. So come on, be the first one to show that you’re the bigger person. It’s sure to earn you respect and praise if you do. Tests and exams should also go well at this time. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) There’s a certain amount of tension in your life, which is making it hard for you to concentrate fully. It’s also clear that you’re feeling a

Page 48

little weary and this would be a good time to consider which responsibilities you can offload, to enable you to recharge those batteries. A trip abroad may be in the offing fairly shortly. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Try not to get involved in the gossip and tittle-tattle which is circulating at the moment. You would be far better keeping yourself to yourself for now, or you could end up being the scapegoat. New flirtations make for a more interesting week than normal, but just make sure that you’re not jumping in at the deep end. VIRGO (August 24th -September 23rd) There don’t seem to be enough hours in the day lately for you, and you must feel as though you’ve had the weight of the world on your shoulders. Fear not because, from now on, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) A more artistic influence should see you willing to try your hand at new things. Life and love all start to become more interesting for you, in fact, and there is a new admirer on the horizon. But check how free he or she is before you embark on what could turn out to be somewhat of a wild goose chase. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) You are starting to believe the worst in

everyone, and you need to be careful that you don’t accuse close ones of doing things of which they may not be guilty. Beware of new people in your life right now because they could lead you astray. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) This is a really testing time as far as relationships in your life, at home and at work, is concerned. If you find yourself arguing with loved ones, then make sure your confrontations are of a constructive nature or you could be driving wedges between you. But your fiery helps you to excel at work after the weekend. CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You’re far easier to influence than usual, and you need to be careful about who you socialise with as you don’t want to be led astray. Be prepared to have to pay out more on the home, or for transport, but don’t cut corners. Get things done properly or it will come back on you and end up costing you double. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Your instincts are sharp and you should find it easy to tell a good offer from bad. Paperwork and legal links can all help make your life more financially rewarding, but you have to stick to whole truths rather than half-truths or you could end up tarnishing your reputation. Don’t believe any of the gossip that may be floating around.
