Thomas Chippendale was a London cabinet maker, chair and furniture designer in Gothic, Rococo and Neoclassical styles. His book, The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director, was published in 1754 and became a bible for woodworkers and interior designers. Chippendale himself was commissioned by aristocratic clients to design entire furnishing for their stately homes.

An ornate chest of drawers, the serpentine-shaped Harrison Commode dating from 1779, sold for £3.8 million at Sotheby’s in 2010, three times its high estimate. Even back in 1988 a Chippendale carved mahogany chair was sold at auction for more than $1 million.

But the iconic Chippendale furniture legacy has now been overtaken by the “Chippendales”, a touring male dance troupe best known for exotic striptease. Members sport a distinctive bow tie, and white shirt cuffs worn on a bare torso. Since 1979 they have performed for mainly female audiences, and because of the high standard of choreography and

Whatson: Kids on stage to entertain other kids

Perhaps leaders of the male striptease group would have been better off doing so says CHARLES SAATCHI staging, the Chippendales eventually legitimised male stripping as popular entertainment, providing the fantasy of a naughty night with the hunky clean-cut boy next door.

The Chippendale team are seen performing by two million worldwide each year, in cities in Central and South America, and more than 30 European capitals. According to the official Chippendale website, they each rehearse for four hours per day, and apparently maintain a healthy lifestyle and get a lot of sleep.

The Chippendales are forbidden from accepting tips from the clientele but other male strippers leave the stage with wads of notes stuffed into

their thongs. Often, the female audience go wild at the sight of gyrating muscles slick with baby oil, and less fastidious groups try to raise the ante by wearing fireman, policeman, even gorilla costumes, or bizarrely employ bananas and whipped cream as props.

Over the years, there have been many legal barriers for the Chippendales to overcome, though these are usually confl icts with “copycat” companies. More seriously, its founding partners have both become infamous murderers. Paul Snider killed his estranged wife, Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten, and then himself.

Partner Somen Banerjee was charged with organising a hit-man to murder a business associate.

Thoughtfully, he wanted to shield his wife from a wrongful death lawsuit and a $2 million fine, so he hanged himself in his cell before his trial was completed, also avoiding a probable life sentence.

Perhaps they would have both been better off making decorative furniture.

The perils facing the social network generation

By Rosamund Urwin I am often grateful that I never did anything of note as a teenager. The play I toyed with writing about adolescent excess - despite the strongest substance I had sampled being Vicks VapoRub - not only remained unpublished, I never made it past page two. By 17, my only achievements were some GCSEs and an A* in eyeliner application.

Any public humiliations were destined to be adult humiliations.

With the downfall this week of Britain’s first (and perhaps last) youth crime commissioner, 17-year-old Paris Brown, for racist and homophobic comments she made online, I was thankful for something else too: that I was part of the last generation to grow up in a Twitter and Facebook-free world.

Even those who don’t emerge from adolescent obscurity to be exposed for making racist remarks on the front

page of a national newspaper may have more minor teenage transgressions re-emerge in adulthood. Digital footprints have indelibly marked exits from crime scenes people don’t even remember being at.

Because of the internet, juvenile follies that would previously have left no mark have morphed into albatrosses hanging around the necks of the under-18s. We all must have said something as a teen that we’re lucky wasn’t on record. This week too, Unicef warned that Britain’s government was failing teenagers, with among the highest proportion in Europe not in education, training or work.

Brown has also fuelled the stereotype of teenagers as boozed-up, foulmouthed Vicky Pollards, when in reality they have become less rebellious in recent years, drinking less and taking fewer drugs.

And there’s a wider worry: that now only those with an unblemished record in their teenage years can prosper in politics. The UK risks being left with virtuous but bland robots, or a country run by those who as teens did a remarkably good impression of middle age - a legion of William Hagues.

Brown has said she wants other young people to learn from her mistakes, which is sensible when employers increasingly look at candidates’ online presence. I hope too that teachers and parents will instil in children that they are what they tweet. But I also think we will have to become more forgiving, to offer second chances in more plentiful supply.

Either that, or someone should invent technology to expunge from the internet anything written in juvenile ignorance when someone turns 18.

They’d make a fortune.

David Cameron on his recent trip to Amritsar

Say sorry, there’s a good boy S

By Richard Dickenson

o, Mr Netanyahu apologised to Turkey.

Just a few weeks ago Mr Cameron, in Amritsar, expressed his regret for the unforgivable 1919 massacre there under command of Colonel [T/Brigadier] ‘Reggie’ Dyer CB, forebear, coincidentally, of the architect who built my villa in Paphos. That debacle happened when crowds of mainly Sikh citizens seeking the same kind of freedom enjoyed in UK rallied to hear some banned speakers. Thereupon the narrow exitways were pinpointed and in a ten-minute bloodbath almost two thousand rounds of small arms fi re was poured into the helpless crowd. Similar to the Nazi-SS massacre of recaptured POWs after the ‘Wooden Horse’ mass escape, trapped miscreants deliberately mown down.

Some regarded it as ‘teaching the wogs a lesson’ or ‘saving

the empire.’ Rudyard Kipling was one such. Others saw it as a brutal slaying of perhaps a thousand aspiring colonials and the wounding of about three times as many. No-one is sure of the numbers, they were wogs, what did numbers matter?

Anyway, have you too noticed this spate of apologising that’s going on all around? Never a day passes without someone apologising to someone or being expected to apologise or being criticised for not apologising, like crooked bankers, embezzling MPs, and so on. Blair apologised for the slave trade and for the Irish potato famine, though not for starting the Iraq war, I recall.

I wait with bated breath to hear that the Duke of York has apologised for the behaviour of an erstwhile Duke of York for murdering the Princes in the Tower, if he did.

What price the Argies, via their Pope perhaps, apologising

for invading the Falklands, or the Brits for cold-bloodedly sinking the Belgrano? What about France apologising for selling them Exocet missiles? Maybe Germany will apologise to millions killed in wars they started?

After all, the Pope apologised to the Jews, mind you, I never before heard the Jews apologise for anything. Perhaps the next thing will be their apology to the Palestinians. Every day there are bleats and threats in the press about how badly the Jews are treating them. Yet seldom is heard a word about hundreds of missiles flying out of Gaza some days. You never hear anyone whine that just about every Arab on record agrees Middle East bloodshed will end only when the last Jew has been slaughtered.

You never hear anyone criticise the alleged words of the prophets that destruction of the various tribes of we infidel is a major aim of so-called Islam, a word

derived from the Arabic salema, meaning peace, purity, submission and obedience; the word translates, roughly, as ‘the way of peace’ though this may not be immediately apparent.

I reckon that if the Amritsar protests were threatening to happen today in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt or Syria we would be siding with the ‘rebels’ and, far from shooting at them, British troops would be sent in to assist their ‘political objectives.’

One public apology I took notice of was when HM Government apologised to Alan Turing in 2009, years after he had died at his own hand, and almost 60 years after he was prosecuted for gross indecency after admitting a sexual relationship with a man.

Shades of Oscar Wilde must have smiled when Gordon Brown said that Turing - a genius mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist, who played as big a part in winning WW2

as any individual man - suffered ‘appalling’ treatment including chemical castration. Not a pretty thing to see, I promise you, and still done today.

Turing was punished for offences against the then current law. But the point in apologising was to appease, some said throw a sop to, the growing number of voting members of the homosexual community. This then, is the reason behind all this apologising. It’s either flagrant vote trawling, self-protective or part of an export drive. Tories know it’s the economy that will cost them the next election not Same Sex Marriages.

Furthermore, I remind readers of the reply attributed to the Earl of Arran in the Sixties, when asked to explain why the House of Lords had legalised homosexuality but refused to impose a ban on badger-baiting: ‘Not many badgers in the House of Lords, old chap.’

CY staff protest

Gold could be sold

Names released

people were arrested last weekend as hooliganism reared its ugly head on Saturday, before, during and after the Omonia – APOEL match in Nicosia and the Anorthosis – AEK match in Larnaca.

Before the Omonia – APOEL game trouble started while APOEL fans were making their way into the GSP Stadium, with one fan and three police officers being injured.

Police arrested one man to help their investigation into the incident.

After the match three more were arrested. One had a sharp object in his possession and the other two caused damage to a police vehicle with a flare. after further trouble two more arrests were made.

Ten minutes after the Anorthosis AEK match finished, some Anorthosis fans left the stadium, put hoods on and headed towards the stand where the AEK fans were, police said.Nine fans were later arrested.

Cyprus Airways employees protested outside the Presidential Palace on Wednesday at the same time that the cabinet was meeting to discuss the national carrier’s future.

The employees asked for the government’s support to prevent the airline from closing and for them to take an immediate political decision.

Employee representatives entered the Presidential Palace and met with head of the President’s office, Panayiotis Antoniou, and also spoke with Communications and Works Minister Tasos Mitsopoulos before he entered the cabinet meeting.

“I have been working for Cyprus Airways for 21 years and it not only helped me feed my family but it is a large part of who I am,” one protester said. “We are not only losing our jobs but a large part of Cypriot history,” she added.

million euro could be raised as the island has agreed to sell excess gold to help finance its part of its bailout, according to an assessment of the island’s financing needs prepared by the European Commission, revealed on Wednesday.

The draft assessment, referring to the gold sale, obtained by Reuters, also said that Cyprus would raise €10.6 billion from the winding down of Laiki Bank and the losses imposed on junior bondholders and the deposit-for-equity swap for uninsured deposits in the Bank of Cyprus.

Nicosia would get a further €600 million over three years from raising the corporate income tax rate and the capital gains tax rate.

The Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) said however that selling the island’s gold had not been on the table.

names of individuals and companies were handed to lawmakers on Tuesday by the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) featuring those who withdrew money from Cyprus up to 15 days before a controversial Eurogroup decision to force losses on depositors as a condition for a €10 billion bailout.

However, the chairman of the House Ethics Committee, which was due to look into a list detailing transfers of more than €100,000 from the two major banks - Bank of Cyprus (BoC) and Laiki - said the list fell short of what he had requested.

“It was with great disappointment and anger that, when we opened the envelope, we realised it contained data for only 15 days even though we had asked for a year,” MP Demetris Syllouris told reporters. “This kind of behaviour is unacceptable.”

An affinity with numbers Bringing fun into maths has become a life’s work for one Limassol teacher. It is, after all, all around us she tells THEO PANAYIDES

E

xhibit A: maths and marriage. An Oxford professor, James D Murray, has constructed mathematical models to predict whether a couple will divorce or not. A team from the University of Washington have gone even further, putting married couples in a room and observing them like guinea pigs. They studied the couples’ body

A sense of fun: Katerina Kaouri language while they argued about everyday matters, from money to mothers-in-law. They wired up the couples to record their pulse and heart-rate. They employed ideas like phase space, null clines and influence functions, which no-one but mathematicians even understands.

On stage: Katerina at the Tedx event

Armed with these data points (and the couples’ subsequent history), they created a model which claims to recognise unhappy marriages long before they actually go south.

There’s even a book you can buy on Amazon, The Mathematics of Marriage.

Cut to Katerina Kaouri, taking the stage in a bright red top at the recent TEDx event in Nicosia.

Her manner is brisk and humorous. “Good morning,” she tells the audience. “As you have heard, I’m a mathematician. So I would like to ask you: who among you likes mathematics?” The response is mixed, to put it kindly – and that’s her point, that millions of people suffer from “mathematics phobia”. A 17-minute talk on how maths is actually quite fun isn’t necessarily a crowdpleaser, especially in the midst of sexier subjects like a restaurateur’s colourful past (Roddy Damalis, owner of Ta Piatakia) or the rigours of being a journalist (the Mail’s own Stefanos Evripidou) – but Katerina pulls it off, especially when she talks about love. “What if Romeo behaved like a typical man?” she ponders, and the audience responds with warm laughter. By the end, her talk is among the best-received of the whole event.

The reference to Romeo is part of a mathematical model she cooks up to deconstruct the ultimate love sto-

ry, a series of differential equations illustrating the inevitable result when Romeo – like a typical male – responds to Juliet’s attention with growing indifference. Later in her talk, Katerina also presents a model (in the form of a multi-tiered equation) to measure men’s chances of getting a date with a beautiful girl.

Mathematically speaking, this is basic stuff – but the underlying point is very dear to her. “You can translate everything into maths,” she tells me a few days later, sitting in Bono Bar & Restaurant near the beach road in Limassol with a dish of tempura prawns that remains largely untouched. “My life after my fi rst degree was to look into various problems from various disciplines, and see how maths can translate them”.

Exhibit B: maths and cancer.

Cancer modelling – one of the areas she worked in after her PhD – investigates “how you use magnets to heat up some little magnets inside a tumour”. Cells are loaded with magnetic nano-particles, then accumulated in the cancerous tumour; you then switch on a magnet outside the body and “convert magnetic energy into thermal energy”, essentially burning the tumour. Katerina didn’t think this up herself, obviously (she was part of a research team at the University of Nottingham), but it’s typical of the range of applications she’s studied. Her PhD in Applied

Perfect shapes: the Mona Lisa

Mathematics from Oxford University – following a Mathematics degree from Cambridge and an MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing – dealt with how to manage the sound from supersonic aeroplanes; a recent variation, the devastating sonic boom from the meteorite that landed in Russia last February, made its way into her TEDx talk.

H

er current job, after returning to Cyprus in 2010, may be a bit of a comedown, teaching maths to university students with no special interest in maths. Her charges tend to be youngsters doing compulsory maths courses as part of a nonmaths degree (Hotel Management types roped into taking Statistics, that kind of thing) and it’s often a struggle to motivate them. “People are really afraid,” she reports. “I had a girl crying in a test”. Mathematics phobia is real, and it baffles her: “What makes mathematics so frightening for people? Is it bad teachers?

Is it the parents? Is it our boring books, the way we teach it?”

She herself loves teaching, and takes it seriously – a seriousness reflected in her demeanour, which sometimes obscures the real woman.

Katerina is a warm, lively person who loves dancing and good food, but her default expression tends to be quite stern; it’s almost a surprise when she smiles and the face turns rascally, even naughty. She can come across as remote when she doesn’t know others well, she admits, maybe because she spent her formative years (she’s now in her 30s) being… well, the kind of teenage girl who goes on to study Maths at Cambridge.

“I like meeting people,” she confi rms. “Actually I’m introverted – people laugh when I say that – but I really like connecting with people, and hearing stories. [Yet] I was very, very timid as a child. Up to 18 I was like this nerdy kid, not having many friends”. Family background may have something to do with it.

Katerina’s the eldest of four, and the eldest child often tends to be serious and responsible. Both her parents were schoolteachers, which also tends to foster a studious character; her dad – “a strict father,” she recalls – taught Religious Studies (though he has a fi rst degree as an agriculturist), her mother taught

French. Mathematics always came naturally to her, though maths lessons at school mostly consisted of solving endless equations – a thrill for a numbers junkie like herself, but probably not for her classmates. “It’s very few people,” she admits with dry understatement, “who like to solve an abstract equation”.

Exhibit C: the golden ratio. If you take a stick and ask someone to split it in two, chances are they’ll choose a point about two-thirds of the way down (a ‘golden’ ratio of 1.618:1, if you want to be mathematical about it); “For some reason, the human eye sees that as the most pleasant section to cut this thing”. If you then create a shape where the ratio between the sides is the golden ratio, that shape is a ‘golden shape’. It can be a triangle, a pentagon, a decagon, anything – but here’s where it starts to get interesting, because a golden decagon also appears in the crosssection of a strand of human DNA. What’s more, plastic surgeons have synthesised golden shapes to create a ‘perfect’ face, which turns out to be a close match for movie-star faces

It’s yet another case of her basic thesis that maths is everywhere – but also a reminder that she herself has a strong artistic side He really is good looking: Brad Pitt

(Brad Pitt, Jessica Alba) commonly considered beautiful. The proportions of the Parthenon display the golden ratio. So do the proportions of supermodels and Playboy bunnies. So do the proportions of the human hand and forearm. So does some of our greatest art: “The Mona Lisa is all golden shapes”.

Katerina spoke about the golden ratio at TEDx, and previously also at Famelab (the annual science competition, where she made the list of Cyprus fi nalists in 2011). It’s yet another case of her basic thesis that maths is everywhere – but also a reminder that she herself has a strong artistic side. Like many of her ilk, she’s very musical (music and maths tend to go together), having studied piano up to Grade 8 and become adept at Latin dancing (“I used to dance in the UK, and go to parties and stuff. In Cyprus I’m not so involved in the scene anymore”) – but she also painted

well as a child, and her greatest love is fi lmmaking which of course tends to synthesise all the other arts. She spent an exhilarating month at the New York Film Academy, and even thought of chucking it all in to make movies – but good sense prevailed, and she went back to numbers and equations. “OK, I will do mathematics,” she recalls telling herself, “and I’ll try to create within that sphere”.

Does she still create? Well, she tries. It’s not just the teaching; she also does research, and remains very interested in unorthodox applications like “mathematical sociology” – “how you model interactions that make a phenomenon emerge” (like a riot, or a ‘viral’ YouTube video).

Maths is increasingly creative, and proactive. It can predict behaviour, and increasingly does so; the algorithms are taking over. I mention the analyst who caused a stir last year by correctly predicting the election outcome in all 50 US states just by crunching numbers, outperforming pundits with years of political experience. Isn’t it dangerous to have that kind of knowledge? Or how about the ‘perfect face’ she mentioned – the plastic surgeon’s application of the golden ratio? If beauty can be created mathematically, won’t everyone want a variation on the perfect face? Wouldn’t we end up with a ‘perfect’ society where everyone looks the same?

“I don’t know,” replies Katerina.

“I think it’s a tool. It’s a very powerful tool”. She’s worked for three years as a strategy consultant in Athens, answering questions for corporate clients – but no-one knows the answer to how far mathematics can go, let alone when it stops being ethical. The one obvious fact is that maths is everywhere, not just in the classroom; it defi nes and colours everything we do – yet too many people continue to fear it, or don’t understand it, or even ignore it. The notion of popular science still carries a stigma (except perhaps in the States). Scientists are too often condescending, students uninterested. Teachers too often fail to make the subject interesting, falling back on simple equation-solving.

It’s strange, I point out: religion is so much more outlandish than maths – so much harder to explain in real-life terms – yet everyone seems to understand ‘God’ and ‘miracles’. Why can’t they also understand phase space and differential equations?

Exhibit D: Katerina Kaouri in her red top, winding up her speech at TEDx Nicosia. “There are 6,900 languages in the world, but only one language of mathematics. It unites people across countries and cultures. It can explain almost everything, from the sound of aeroplanes to how we make decisions to how we love, all the way to what we fi nd beautiful”. Her hands chop the air emphatically, her face settles into a frown – not a sign of annoyance but a sign of passion, the passion of a woman who’s always had a powerful affi nity with numbers, and only wants to share it with the world.

“So I would like to urge you,” she appeals to her audience. “Rethink maths! Look at it with a fresh look. Forgive your bad teachers and forget the bad books. And to the fellow teachers out there: work on re-branding mathematics. Make it relevant, make it personal. Make it fun. Thank you”. The defence rests.

Trainers with attitude: Hogan Loves Katie Grand

Who pimped my trainers?

Cara, Jourdan and co can’t stop wearing them and top brands are lining up to add them to their collections. EMMA MCCARTHY hails the transformation of the humble running shoe

C

oco Chanel once said “fashion has two purposes: comfort and love”. While I’m sure she wasn’t thinking about trainers when she said so, it is these reasons the humble running shoe has made the transition from fitness to fashion. While a recent swathe of pimped-out trainers spotted on celebrities have been making headlines - see Beyoncé’s new ostrich, stingray and anaconda skin pair - it is, in fact, the fashion pack who have given the humble trainer its real style kudos this spring.

It all started - as a lot of things in fashion do - with Phoebe Philo.

When the British designer stepped onto the Céline catwalk all those seasons ago in a pair of vintage Nike Air Max 1s, the front row took notice for two reasons: one, because it was Phoebe Philo, and two, because at the end of four weeks of shows their heel-clad soles were screaming for some spongy cushioning.

After Philo’s endorsement, it was only a matter of time before trainers were spurred up the dizzying heights of fashion. But this season, it seems to have reached a crescendo - proven at recent fashion weeks.

From the gaggle of off-duty models including Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn, who seem to own no other type of footwear, to the fashion editors making a laid-back style statement on the front row, trainers of every shape, style and description - but preferably as loud as possible - were as ubiquitous as a Céline Trapeze bag or Smythson notebook.

The increasingly fashionable connections in the sportswear arena have a lot to do with this; the likes of Stella McCartney for Adidas and Liberty for Nike. And thanks to

the help of models of the moment Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger and Edie Campbell, it has been at the forefront of the fashion radar.

The movement isn’t going unnoticed on the high street. After the peak in interest, Kurt Geiger made the decision to ditch the heels and dedicate its recent window displays with an expanding selection of trainers throughout London Fashion Week. “The very fact that we launched the new Kurt Geiger spring-summer collection with trainers speaks hugely about the shift towards shoes we can wear to run around in,” says creative director Rebecca Farrar-Hockley.

“The appetite for trainers keeps growing and evolving season on season,” agrees Selfridges women’s shoe buying manager Helen Attwood. “Despite repeat reorders and a huge increase in our buying it’s still hard for us to keep up. From high street and sports labels to high fashion, it really is the most fun and democratic shoe trend we’ve seen in ages.”

But while the major brands are clamouring to get in on the trainer action, the fashion pack seems to be in collective agreement when it comes to Nike. Since Philo’s initial choice of Air Max 1s, her followers aka, everyone in the industry - have retained a longstanding loyalty to the classic style. In fact, such is the clout of Nike among fashion insiders that the brand has dispatched personal trainers to each major fashion capital during show season to make sure those trainers are put to good use.

Of course, the very reason trainers have found their way into the hearts of the fashion industry is the fact that a cherished pair of Air Max

After the peak in interest, Kurt Geiger made the decision to ditch the heels and dedicate its recent window displays with an expanding selection of trainers

a y 1s are just as relevant now as they were 25 years ago.

The Trainer edit Hogan Loves Katie Grand Andrea Della Valle is one smartt cookie. By enlisting the help of fash-ion royalty, LOVE Magazine’s Katie Grand, the president of little-known Italian trainer brand Hogan transformed the label’s style credentials practically overnight. But Grand and her gang of model mates are not done yet - the second collection for A/W13 is scheduled to hit stores in July.

With more zebra print - and even more models - than ever before, the range is unlikely to fall off the fashion pack’s radar any time soon. And thankfully, they look just as good with denim as they do with micro jersey shorts (Hogan.com).

Air Max 1 This year, Nike’s Air Max 1 celebrates its 25th anniversary and it’s little surprise that the festivities kicked off with a birthday party entitled #airwebreathe. So the Air Max is to trainer nuts what sequins are to Strictly Come Dancing. Having seen many reincarnations in

its quarter decade lifetime, including the snakeskin pair, above, in celebration of Chinese New Year, the ever-stylish trainers are the most likely to be spotted on the feet of front rowers - currently, teamed with leather trousers and a Crombie (Nike.com).

Blazer For the teenage continent, Nike Blazers picked up where Converse left off. The high top of choice nods back to an era of nostalgic cool namely, a basketball court in the Seventies where the trainer fi rst made its mark. Simple, sleek and with seemingly infi nite colour combinations, the Blazer has a place in every trainer lover’s collection.

There’s one rule: the brighter the better (Nike.com).

Isabel Marant wedge g sneaker As the proud owner own of one of the shoe world’s lon longest waiting lists, Isabel Marant’s wedge w sneakers kickstarted the co concealed heel trainer trend. Worn by the Primrose Hill set with yoga leggings leg and by Miranda Kerr with skin ski tight denim and bouncy baby on h hip, the wedge is a trend that keeps on running Beyoncé’s custom-d custom-designed Perfectly Made Kicks have seen to ((matchesfashthat ion.c ion.com).

Just my cup of tea After a torturous journey ALIX NORMAN visits Cyprus’ only herbal tea factory

Natural Life herbal teas are available at most supermarkets Lavender

I

t’s a long drive and I get lost twice. The elements are out in force today: the spring sun burning down and mad winds racing across fields. Olive trees shake and shiver, and ahead the foothills shimmer in the haze.

Once you’re well outside the city, nature reasserts itself, and it seems fitting that I’m on my way to the premises of a company known for the medicinal benefits of its natural teas. Medicine and the Greeks go hand-in-hand, and the fertile soil of Cyprus has always proved excellent for the growing of natural remedies: ancient medical practice commonly employed olive oil, resins and bitter herbs grown locally, while the famed Apollodoros of Kition advocated rose wreaths for headaches.

With such an abundance of natural herbs available to us on the island, it was only a matter of time before someone started producing and promoting their benefits on a larger scale. And it is this that the company Natural Life has set out to do, with its range of herbal teas.

On my eventual arrival I’m greeted with a cup of lavender tea, perfect for calming the nerves and putting any fraught writer into a more collected frame of mind. Soothed and comforted, I ask where the tea was produced. “Right here in Cyprus,” says sales manager George Erotokritou. “We have an agreement with farmers around the island who produce exclusively for Natural Life,” he continues, explaining that the company was created on the amalgamation of two similar businesses who both sold pulses and legumes. “The teas came later, when we realised there was a market for them. We were already selling loose herbs grown here on the island, and decided to package them as teabags.”

Wanting to offer a wide variety of teas, the company imports a number of herbs and spices that can’t be grown in Cypriot soil, such as senna and hibiscus from Egypt, elderflower from Bulgaria and cinnamon and cloves from India and Sri Lanka. But the vast majority are locally grown, and even exported to other countries. We may think the island is famous only for its halloumi exports, but Natural Life is already selling to Greece, Britain and Dubai, and by the end of the year will be marketing as far abroad as America and Australia. “People are familiar with our teas now,” says

Everything possible is being done to ensure none of the aroma or flavour is lost en route to the supermarket and the teas arrive on the shelf fresh, tasty and full of healing benefits marketing manager Yiannis Kountouris. “We’re the only company in Cyprus producing herbal teas, and the consumers recognise they’re something special.”

Indeed, Natural Life was the fi rst of the island’s companies in its sector to attain HACCP and ISO certification, co-operating only with qualified suppliers and ensuring both production methods and safety – for workers and consumers alike - are of the highest standard.

I’m shown the room where the loose tea is packaged, fi rst into bags, then sealed envelopes, and fi nally boxes wrapped in cellophane. Everything possible is being done to ensure none of the aroma or fl avour is lost en route to the supermarket and the teas arrive on the shelf fresh, tasty and full of healing benefits.

Even the warehouse adheres to European standards, and as we pass through, my two guides reveal the modifications: “The windows are all shuttered to protect the herbs from direct sunlight,” George points out, “the roof is insulated, and we’ve installed a ventilation system. Even the lights have special plastic covers.” I wonder why this should be so important, until he asks if I’ve ever read reports about broken glass found in food: “That’s what happens when a light bulb breaks and there’s nothing to stop the shards from falling into the products.” I begin to realise there’s a lot more to food

Basil fields

production than I ever knew; even the factory workers are dressed in protective clothing, headgear and gloves.

But even though I’m impressed by such a professional operation, it’s the smell of the warehouse that really has me entranced. As we walk down the aisles between sacks of herbs, I catch a whiff of wild rose, a trace of cloves, a hint of anise. It’s an olfactory journey, and I stop dead when one of the piles conjures up a sudden image. “This is spearmint,” says Yiannis, opening the bag and offering me a handful. “Rub it between your palms, and then smell it.” I do as he suggests, and the aroma is released into the air, transporting me to a summer evening of beach-side mojitos. The next aisle is marigold, golden flowers cascading from an open sack and then, as we turn the corner, I can smell Christmas in the warmth of cinnamon.

“And this is nettle,” says George, holding out a handful of dried leaves.

It may not have the ability to enrapture the nose, but apparently it’s packed with benefits: “Nettle has an incredibly high iron content, much more so than spinach. A friend of mine had a son with anaemia, and nothing the doctor recommended seemed to help. Then he persuaded the boy to start drinking nettle tea.

Three months later, when they returned to the hospital, the doctor couldn’t believe the difference.”

The two men are obviously proud of their work, and rightly so. Not only are they working for a company which is actively promoting the island’s bounty, the products they sell are natural remedies. “It’s more like a family than a business,” says Yiannis, and George agrees: “We want everyone here to feel it’s a second home, and that their work is important. Otherwise, as a company, we couldn’t succeed.”

As I depart, the pair hand me boxes of tea, explaining how each can help. There’s Calendula to improve circulation, Basil for mental clarity and Hibiscus for menstrual cramps. There’s even some Jasmine, known not only as a cure for sore throats, but also as an aphrodisiac!

I’m given something to alleviate what seems like every known ailment, or boost every process in the body. And I make a special note of the Chamomile, when Yiannis suggests it might be especially helpful with hysteria and stress. Next time I know I’m likely to get lost on the way to an interview, I’ll know what to take on the journey!

MOSCOW MOMENT LOUISE JURY tours the city’s architectural landmarks, museums and famous theatres

Soviet sight: the Kremlin. Left: a Faberge egg from the armoury

E

legant silver birch trees have been part of the scenery in almost every production of plays by Anton Chekhov I have ever seen. So row upon row of them shining in the roadside darkness seemed convincing fi rst proof I had landed in Russia. Moscow, on the other hand, was not the modern city of my imagination. Austere Sovietera concrete apartment blocks are still to be found. But what proved an unexpected delight was the abundance of onion-domed Orthodox churches, elegant villas and neoclassical theatres and museums.

The friendly hotel concierge said it was the worst mid-March weather the city had ever suffered, with 30cm of snow in 24 hours. But in more clement conditions, a visitor could spend hours strolling the streets seeking out notable architecture such as the honeycomb effect house of Constructivist architect Konstantin Melnikov in the Arbatskaya district.

And while battling with the Cyrillic alphabet makes a visit more exhausting than many city breaks,

mastering a few basics - that H means N and P means R is useful for fi nding a restaurant - has its own satisfactions.

point for any visit. Lenin’s Mausoleum is currently closed for repairs.

Instead, explore the former staterun shopping mall GUM opposite, whose airy glass-roofed arcades now host luxury brands that must have the former Soviet leader turning in his grave, then get utterly lost in the highly decorated, icon-packed maze of chapels that is St Basil’s Cathedral.

The lavish excess makes the 1917 revolution quite understandable.

Another insight into Russian life can be found at the Tretyakov Gallery.

While the main building of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts offers great Old Masters and its sister site topclass Impressionists, what the Tretyakov shows is Russian life. Whizz through the early galleries of largely less than thrilling dukes and counts of centuries past to fi nd scenes of native agricultural workers, carol singers and bustling urban Moscow.

Other gems are totally free. The Gorky House museum charges 100 roubles only if you want to take pho-

Touring the Metro system is one of the cheapest must-dos of any trip, not just to survey Russian dress - full-length furs for the cold - but for the design and decoration means “beautiful”. I quickly got used to spotting it on the signs, even if more complicated journeys required a waving of a map and surprisingly effective exchange of gestures.

But touring the Metro system is one of the cheapest must-dos of any trip, not just to survey Russian dress - full-length furs for the cold - but for the design and decoration. Unique and beautiful, Mayakovskaya has ceiling mosaics depicting Soviet scenes of aircraft and athletes - and is also a short walk from the Patriarch’s Pond, famous in the opening scenes of Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita (required reading for this trip). Kropotkinskaya has a light, simple design and at Ploshchad Revolutsii there are lifesized bronze statues of heroic working class figures at every platform entrance.

More pricey but essential viewing is the fortress of the Kremlin, seat of power for centuries and the heart of Moscow. The basic ticket, purchased at the small cabins at the foot of the walls, gives you access to the inner squares and the chance to stroll past buildings still used by government and tour the imposing churches and cathedrals.

But it is worth buying the extra ticket to the Armoury, a treasury of jewel-encrusted crowns and bibles, Fabergé eggs, ornate religious vestments and gowns worn by empresses and tsars and the most preposterous over-the-top carriage ever created in the febrile imagination of a Disney animator.

tographs - but do cough up. The socialist writer Maxim Gorky apparently disliked the Art Nouveau home the state assigned him but most visitors will admire the impressive curved staircase, decorated ceilings and stained glass. Even the door handles are worth a picture.

And it seems modesty itself compared with the grandeur of my hotel.

The Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya was one of the ‘Seven Sisters’, the fi rst high-rise buildings in Moscow, founded in 1947 on the 800th anniversary of the Russian capital, opened in 1954 and immediately hailed as a landmark hotel. I had no time for the spa or swimming pool in the former basement nuclear shelter.

But even for those staying elsewhere, lunch in the lobby bar would be worth the price for the chance to view the gilded ceiling, ornamental gates modelled on a pair in the Kremlin and lion sculptures seized

by Russian wartime forces from Germany and all restored in recent years. Try a local favourite, herring, blow the budget on black caviar or grab a mozzarella and tomato salad with Parma ham on toast for 700 roubles (about €20).

The Bolshoi Ballet is one of Moscow’s most famous exports but can be caught on home turf. Tickets go on sale three months in advance and are quickly snapped up. If you fail to get a seat, you can still see inside the refurbished gilded auditorium on a tour, some in English - and catch them dancing at the Royal Opera House from July.

Hotel companies find a short cut through India's red tape Starwood Hotels & Resorts got a 104-room hotel up and running in India in less than 12 months, bypassing years of red tape by rebranding an existing property instead of building a new one.

Capitalising on distress in the Indian hospitality sector, international operators such as Starwood and France's Accor SA are teaming up with investors to acquire hotels from debt-laden domestic owners and reopen them under their own corporate banners.

Such conversions can help global players expand more quickly in a country where hotel construction has slowed since the downturn in 2008 as developers shun capital-intensive projects often delayed by bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles.

"This is the first time we are seeing a reasonable num-

ber of assets on the market at the same time," said Gaurav Bhushan, chief development and investment officer for Asia Pacific at Accor. "There have been hotel assets for sale in the past but they have been more sporadic," he said.

Slowing economic growth, an increase in the supply of hotel rooms and growing competition from foreign operators is hurting local chains such as Hotel Leelaventure Ltd, Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd and Kamat Hotels Ltd, which are selling assets to ease debt.

International operators hope to succeed where local players have stumbled because they have deeper pockets and economies of scale that allow them to wait longer for an economic recovery. India's growth likely slowed to a decade low in the fiscal year that ended in March.

Early this month, Starwood, in partnership with Samhi, a Delhi-based hotel investment firm backed by US real estate investor Sam Zell, launched its fi rst conversion property in India - a 104room hotel in the western city of Ahmedabad under its Four Points by Sheraton brand.

Starwood and Accor are leading the hunt for conversion opportunities in a country where the hospitality sector is expected to grow to $36 billion by 2018 from $17 billion in 2008, according to research firm Technopak Advisors.

"You haven't seen these conversions in India before because there wasn't enough existing supply. The more mature a market becomes and the greater the supply added to it, you will see more opportunities for a brand change," said Accor's Bhushan.

Virgin America best US airline, United worst: study Virgin America did the best job of flying customers last year while United Airlines was the worst, though passengers experienced overall better performance, a study showed.

The performance of the 14 leading carriers in 2012 was about the same as the best year ever in 2011, according to the 23rd annual national Airline Quality Rating (AQR), which ranks airlines based on US Department of Transportation figures.

The industry improved in two of four areas: on-time performance and baggage handling. Involuntary denied boardings and customer complaint rates were

higher, the study said.

"Every time there are more planes in the sky and more people flying, airline performance suffers," said Dean Headley, associate professor of marketing at the W Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University.

Virgin America had the best baggage handling rate, 0.87 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers, and American Eagle had the worst, at 5.80 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers.

Hawaiian Airlines, owned by Hawaiian Holdings Inc, was best at sticking to schedules, while Skywest Inc's ExpressJet and AMR Corp's American Airlines

were the worst, the study showed.

Of Hawaiian's fl ights, 93.4 per cent were on time.

The two worst performers were 76.9 per cent on time.

Customer complaints per 100,000 passengers increased from 1.19 in 2011 to 1.43 in 2012, according to the study, a joint project funded as part of faculty research activities at Wichita State and Purdue universities.

Only three of the 14 airlines improved their customer complaint rates for 2012. United Airlines, owned by United Continental Holdings Inc, had the highest complaint rate, and Southwest Airlines Co had the lowest.

10 FOOD & DRINK WINES with George Kassianos

Commandaria with friends

“D

rinking this wine is like waking up in paradise” - a very modern i nt e r p r e t a t i o n of Commandaria from a fellow sommelier who happens to be a world champion. “Layer after layer of flavour, close to sweet perfection,” he continued. So heard the Famagusta Association of Friends of Wine when I was asked to be a guest speaker at a packed room in Paralimni.

More than 70 wine lovers had a chance to find out not only the history of Commandaria, but also the way it is produced and the best food matches. The wine has a rich history, said to date back to the time of the ancient Greeks. A dried grape wine from Cyprus was first known to be described in 800BC by the Greek poet Hesiod and was known as the Cypriot Manna. Legend has it that in the 13th century Philip Augustus of France held the first ever wine tasting competition. The event, branded The Battle of the Wines (La Bataille des Vins) was recorded in a notable French poem written by Henry d’ Andelin 1224. The competition which included wines from all over Europe and France was won by a wine from Cyprus widely believed to be Commandaria. Not forgetting another legend that has it that an Ottoman sultan invaded the island just to acquire Commandaria.

Commandaria is made exclusively from two types of indigenous Cyprus grapes, Xynisteri and Mavro. Only grapes from vineyards that have been planted for at least four years are allowed - watering is prohibited. The grapes are left to overripen on the vine and when sugar content reaches acceptable levels they are harvested.

More specifically, Xynisteri is picked when at around 12 baume and Mavro at 15-16 baume. The grapes are laid out in the sun to further increase the sugar density through evaporation.

When the baume reaches 19-23 the juice is extracted through crushing and pressing.

Alasia LOEL Abv 15%

What Cyprus’ oldest wine has to offer Fermentation has to take place within the confines of the 14 designated villages that lie in the Commandaria region and the levels of alcohol achieved is up to 15%. Commandaria by law is aged for at least two years in oak barrels.

Those present were shocked to find out that Commandaria is served cold and it has also a selection of varied food partners. In general, Commandaria is known for its longstanding contribution to the world of wine as both an aperitif and a dessert wine option. Many cheeses, nuts, cream-based desserts, chocolate desserts and fruit tortes have found a magnificent pairing partner in a fortified wine such as Commandaria.

Fruit cake and chocolate ice cream with Commandaria are classed as matches made in heaven. Don’t forget the blue cheese too.

There were three non-fortified Commandaria and four fortified.

Non–fortified

Commandaria Anesperi, Coop Orinis Pitsilias, Abv 11% The fruit is Xinisteri white grape sourced from the villages of Kalo Chorio, Louvara and Ayios Pavlos.

Amber colour with strong brown hues. Complex bouquet, which when stirred in the glass reveals aromas of dried fruit, nuts, coffee and cocoa. Very good structure, rich greasy taste, balances with strong ageing aroma and long-lasting aromatic aftertaste. €17 Bottle Size 50cl (Distributed by Oinotria) 2004 Kyperounda Winery Commandaria, Abv 13% Its taste reminds of vanilla and fresh-ground coffee, a honeyed bouquet layered with dry apricot and figs and golden raisins while the balance between the taste of honey and the

impressive acidity creates a remarkable long lasting finish. It can be laid down for 15-20 years and it should be served very chilled. It makes a luscious aperitif or can be served as a dessert wine accompanying perfectly fruit compotes, fruit tarts, chocolate deserts, and coffee. €13 Bottle size 50cl

2008 Commandaria Tsiakkas, Protected Designation of Origin, Av 13% This honey coloured dessert wine captures the essence of summer in a bottle. From the moment the bottled is opened intense fruit aromas of orange blossoms, sweet, ripe peaches, pineapple compote and dry apricots, figs, honey and touch of roast nut and cocoa touch the nose. These bright and fruit forward aromas are extended to the palate through luscious flavours of sweet fruit, preserves and honey. €25 Fortified

KEO Saint John, Abv 14% With its eye-catching Grand Marnier style bottle, a palate preening wine with saffron glints to its amber hue. A glorious nose shows spice, kid glove, walnuts and hazelnuts, savoury dates and maple syrup, which follow through on a brighter, plumper fruited mid-palate than is typical of Saint John. The finish is long and beautifully articulated by a fine nutty spine with a lovely balance. €12

Recession-era cooking with Jamie

By Anthony Barnes TV chef Jamie Oliver is turning his attention to helping families cope with the fi nancial squeeze.

His next project is a book and TV show later this year, designed to make meals which cost less and waste little.

Campaigner and restaurant owner Oliver has had huge sales successes with his most recent books, regularly topping bestseller lists.

In the UK, he has been at number one in the lucrative Christmas book chart for the past three years with Jamie's 30 Minute Meals, Jamie's Great Britain and Jamie's 15 Minute Meals.

His next book, Save With Jamie: Shop Smart, Cook Clever, Waste Less, is described by publisher Michael Joseph as "a bible for all those who want to affordably cook tasty, nutritious, inspiring meals".

Jamie says: "This year I've got the message loud and clear that as everyone comes under bigger and bigger fi nancial pressure, they want help to cook tasty, nutritious food on a budget. So this book was born completely out of public demand.

"Our biggest luxury is knowledge, whether times are hard or not. So get kitchen-smart and smash the recession."

An excellent amber colour with the desired green tint on the rim. It has a lifted, nutty aroma with obvious alcohol lift but not out of balance. More fruit on the nose, dry apricot, cacao, raisins and rancio as a tasting term is a bit hard to pin down. With exposure to air and maturing in small barrels a certain degree of maderisation or caramelised honey occurs. The palate is rich, partly from the retained sugar and partly from the concentration of flavours with evaporation. While this wine has had no yeast component there is a discernable nuttiness. The alcohol gives a clean lingering finish. €10

2002 Saint Barnabas, SODAP, Abv 15% Brownish gold in colour, as a great Commandaria should be, and made from Xinisteri grape. It has a fine aroma on the nose, where you can find predominant rich fruit, chocolate and coffee aromas, followed by fresh mint. The fruit follows in the mouth. A sweet wine with finesse, a subtle round taste that leaves an impression of earthiness in the centre of the mouth, and a luscious chocolate, heavier on the coffee, with a note of freshness flowing, that carries the taste through. €17

1984 Keo Saint John Abv 15% An outstanding, aged Commandaria from KEO, a blend of Xinisteri and Mavro. Pale, amber brown colour, light caramel with brown hues, this Commandaria has luscious and persistent aromas with notes of spices, marmalade, fresh hay and citrus and charred wood, a touch of aged balsamic vinegar and toasted coffee beans. This wine is suave; it has absorbed its sweetness and is velvety, soft and elegant on the palate. Ethereal, it belies its high sugar content with fresh fruit flavours and incisive acid structure. The wine is complex, savoury and earthy with subtle chary, nutty oak balanced by fresh citrus fruit, citrus peel and straw, with a touch of nettle on the finish. €70

British favourite: Jamie Oliver

The book is designed to help people make better choices by buying items more economically, as well as getting the most out of ingredients and saving time.

Tom Weldon, Jamie's longtime publisher and CEO of Penguin UK, said: "We are always thrilled to announce a new cookbook from Jamie but we are particularly excited about Save With Jamie. It seems like just the right time for such a book from one of the nation's most trusted chefs."

The book is due out on August 29 and will tie in with a series for Channel 4.

Considered to be both a vegetable and a herb, garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of years, since ancient Greek and Roman mes.

Using a sharp knife, cut the pineapple in half lengthwise right through the crown of the leaves. Halve again lengthways, so you have 4 quarters with the crown still attached.

Heat a griddle pan to a medium heat. Brush a little of the glaze on the flesh of each pineapple quarter and cook 2 quarters at a time for 3 minutes on each side until soft and slightly charred.

Using a large serrated knife, make a cut at the base between the pineapple shell and the flesh. Carefully continue along the full width of the shell.

Then leaving the flesh in its shell, cut into bite-size chunks. Drizzle with the remaining glaze and scatter with the remaining lime zest and the mint leaves to serve.

A restaurant worthy of its reputation Almond Tree, Paphos

Y

ou know how it is. You sit down, the waiter hands over the menu, you read and think, ‘Okay, nice’ but deep down what you really desire even from a short menu are dishes that proffer some genuine level of stimuli for one’s often recalcitrant taste buds. Believe me (please) reading the Almond Tree menu is akin to browsing through a culinary equivalent of the Kama Sutra - here you are introduced to flavour combinations which are both unusual, even adventurous, yet all are deliciously tempting and do promise hidden pleasures far beyond the bog standard we are often served.

Chef and owner Andreas Michaelides has worked hard to create this unique outpost of civilised dining where good food doesn’t take itself too seriously, where lurking just

below its outwardly proper demeanour there lurks more than touch of tightly laced corsets with an instinct for all the baser things we need from food - the man obviously has deep lascivious feelings for his ingredients. It’s also food that is not exactly simple, instead it’s all about thoughtful complexity. This is a young man who cooks with real enthusiasm and an intensity that comes from oceans of experience and technique that allows him to freely create such distinctive and original plates of food.

You enter into a welcoming reception area, where diners enjoy an aperitif before moving into a classic, comfortable dining area and it’s here I have to raise my sole complaint, the stark wall lighting above some of the tables is not at all in keeping with the mood of the menu. I don’t want a lights out experience exactly, but surely some dimmers or up-lighters would create more ambience than the ‘current’ level used.

Three friends and I decide to move to shadier climes and await the starters. A platter of bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella tomatoes, garlic and basil starts the tasting session followed swiftly by a soft, perfectly cooked pile of skewered chicken satay partnered with a sweet chilli remoulade; key west crab cakes have long held their popularity since the restaurant open many moons ago and one taste and you know why.

VITAL STATISTICS SPECIALTY International WHERE 5 Konstantias Street, Kato Paphos PRICE Starters at around 4-6 euro, mains from under 15 and up to 21 euro

Then, it was a large and delicious mix of salad and excellent home made samosas which racked up the old taste buds. For mains we opted to share and, this was when friendship sort of died on the vine with one so called friend feveroushly protecting his portion of panko crusted cod fi llet with a mango salsa, so all I can say is he seemed to enjoy every sliver. The rest of us shared grilled chicken breast stuffed with rocket, prosciutto, and a five spiced duck breast, with a deliciously Moorish burnt honey sauce.

Diners can also opt for a sharing seafood or meze platter both excellent value for money at fewer than 18 euro a head. Not forgetting the best afters, in the form of Chef’s delicious and properly executed New York style baked cheesecake or his equally famous key lime pie. Both have to be major contenders in the pudding nirvana stakes. Our liquid honour guard came in the form of a couple of bottles of Kyperounda winery’s excellent Petritis made from the indigenous Cypriot Xynisteri grape - here it’s a wine list that solidly supports some of our home grown quality boutique wineries.

Finally when folk say they think a meal like this would be expensive then I won’t trouble you with my usual speech about the difference between being cheap and offering value, those who understand the difference are already stalwarts of this particular gem of a restaurant. The best comment however came from a fellow diner who after clearing his plate of Red Thai coconut chicken curry turned to his girlfriend and said ‘I wanted to just keep eating it’. In my book you can ask nothing more of a well made dish.

games Army of Two: Devil’s Cartel Last summer, one man revolutionised the current WWE landscape. In a legendary moment at the end of Monday Night Raw, WWE Superstar CM Punk - as the voice of the voiceless - changed everything the world knew about WWE. Through his words and actions, a new leader emerged to set a higher standard, convey a new brand of attitude and ultimately ignite a revolution among the WWE Universe. His mantra? Best in the world.

It’s not the first time WWE has seen such rebellion. Nearly 15 years ago, the legendary ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin also revolutionised the WWE realm, sparking a new generation of supporters through his relentless, antihero behaviour in one of WWE’s most celebrated time periods: the Attitude Era. Why did it happen? In his words, ‘Cause Stone Cold said so’.

Today, a new crusade is on the horizon, and it doesn’t start with an iconic WWE Superstar on

discs

television, online or at a live event.

The WWE game franchise returns to provide the most authentic, seamless and passionate experience to date - all while turning up the attitude. WWE ‘13 will transform WWE gameplay through the introduction of WWE Live, completely changing the way players embrace the videogame’s audio and presentation elements.

Predator Technology returns to further implement critical gameplay improvements while

fan favourites in WWE Universe Mode and the franchise’s renowned Creation Suite are poised to offer the utmost in player freedom. Furthermore, WWE ‘13 will introduce a groundbreaking, single-player campaign based on the highly influential Attitude Era. Complete with a robust roster - the largest to date in the franchise along with a host of additional features, WWE ‘13 is ready to live a revolution all its own.

Wakin on a Pretty Daze Philadelphia guitarist Kurt Vile crossed over from lo-fi beginnings to cult stardom with his last album, Smoke Ring for My Halo, in 2011. On the follow-up, his fifth, he has the confidence to spread out and get comfortable.

This one has the same number of tracks as its 47-minute predecessor, 11, but is almost two hours long. It’s strange to say that it isn’t really noticeable. His stoned, drifting style suits the pretty meanderings of the 13-minute Was All Talk and the echoing acoustic picking of Too Hard. There is more focus here and there but mostly this is slow-motion musical quicksand in which it’s worth drowning.

Shaking the Habitual Better known for wearing birdbeak masks than their disjointed music, endearingly silly Stockholm siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer have taken seven years to make their fourth album. With muffled production further muddying already murky waters, attention-seeking schoolboy lyrics (“A handful of elf pee/That’s my soul/spray it all over/Fill the bowl”) and a lack of interest in melody, Shaking the Habitual’s 13 tracks ramble for nearly 100 minutes and are not for the faint-hearted. Full of Fire takes some intriguing twists and turns and the 19-minute Old Dreams Waiting to Be Realized hisses and belches its way to the end.

Ultimately, Shaking the Habitual is an album which, for all its cluttered clatter, lacks heart as well as focus.

English Electric Like many other outfits from the Eighties, Orchestral Meanderings in the Dark have decided to grace us with another record. English Electric, for those of a tender age, was a company that made fridges and other kitchen stuff in the good old days for a population that had a sense of its place in the world, which has since changed. This is a record along the same, somewhat anachronistic, lines. An old song called Enola Gay was used at the Olympics ceremony last year but there is nothing here to match it.

Lead singer Andy McCluskey gives his all on attempted crowd-pleasers such as Helen of Troy and Dresden, while jokey techno nonsense like Please Remain Seated and Atomic Ranch might raise a smile from those with a withered sense of humour. It’s the old OMD formula: big choruses, electronic drums, no sweat. Pass.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK

14 FILM

DIRECTED BY David O. Russell STARRING Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro US 2012 122mins

FILM REVIEW by Tracy Philips

Rom com with a silver lining A

nyone who has ever lived with someone with a mental illness will probably recognise the humour in this fi lm. In fact, I would think most people would fi nd it pretty funny; it is even laughout-loud hilarious at times (more so at the beginning than the end, it has to be said). There is nothing intrinsically amusing about two central characters recovering from a mental breakdown, but often the situations that arise out of misunderstandings and odd perceptions that those characters have, and the things they say, can be very funny. Listing competing medications over dinner for one. Given the high percentage of the population that will suffer from some sort of mental ill health during their lives (as high as one in four statistics tell us), it is a subject well worth tackling. It just doesn’t really happen in this movie. It is an interesting twist on the traditional romcom idea but that is all: an unusually offbeat romantic comedy, but a more enjoyable one than most.

Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) plays an ex-teacher, Pat Solitano Jnr, who has just returned home to his parents after eight months in a psychiatric ward following the breakdown of his marriage. The reason his marriage broke down was that his wife, also a teacher, was having an affair with a colleague at school.

Pat’s reaction on fi nding them having sex in their shower at home is not unreasonable but possibly excessively violent. This leads to a diagnosis

Although don’t expect Silver Linings Playbook to deliver much about mental health

of bipolar disorder and a restraining order from his wife. Still on medication and attempting to fi nd the silver lining in all this, Pat looks for ways to retrieve his marriage and his life.

This ranges from reading every set text his wife is planning to teach to trying to bypass the restraining order to get a letter to her through a mutual friend.

Having read Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, Pat feels the need to apologise to his parents on behalf of the author for the ending at four in the morning. This is after throwing the text through the window. It is all very funny, as is the teenage neighbour who persists in turning up with a tape recorder to do an interview on mental illness for his “school project”. The fact that everyone in the Solitano household has some sort of mental ill health makes it all the more amusing. Pat Senior (Robert de Niro), has a gambling problem and OCD while his mother, Dolores (Jacki Weaver), constantly bakes to relieve the stress. Pat Senior just wants to bond with his son over his football team, the Philadelphia Eagles. This means sitting on the sofa together and willing his team to win.

Still on medication and attempting to find the silver lining in all this, Pat looks for ways to retrieve his marriage and his life

There is little other option, given that Pat Senior has been banned from attending the matches and usually has a load of money riding on it. Pat Junior has other ideas. He has made a new friend in Tiffany, whose social skills, or lack of, rival his own.

Tiffany is played beautifully by Jennifer Lawrence. And I did enjoy her performance in the excellent Winter’s Bone. Tiffany is a young widow suffering from depression who has recently lost her job. Why? Because she had sex with everybody in the office. She says, with a completely straight face, it was because, “I was very depressed after Tommy died.” Tiffany and Pat are made for each other, it seems. Well it’s obvious to the audience, if not to the couple

themselves. Pat is just interested in using Tiffany to get a letter to his exwife and in return, Tiffany persuades Pat to enter a local dance competition with her. It is something that she has always wanted to do but Tommy would never agree.

As the dance competition gets closer, it becomes obvious that Tiffany has her eye on more than winning the competition, even though Pat is still hoping to win over his ex-wife. Then there is a crucial last game of the season for the Eagles and Pat Senior ends up mixing his bets on the outcome of the dance competition and the football season.

It’s edge of the seat stuff. Well, not really. This is where it all becomes pretty predictable rom-com stuff.

However, the dance moves are great and there is a genuine chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence that is a pleasure to watch. But if you are expecting anything more serious on the issue of mental health in David O Russell’s adaptation of Matthew Quick’s novel, think again. Although it did win a BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay!

ZERO DARK THIRTY DIRECTED BY Kathryn Bigelow STARRING Jessica Chastain, Mark Strong, Joel Edgerton US 2012 157mins

Zero faults for CIA agent Maya I

n the past Kathryn Bigelow has made a point of stating that she is a fi lmmaker, rather than a female fi lmmaker. She didn’t mention the fact that she was the fi rst woman to get a Best Director Oscar when she received her Academy Award for Hurt Locker. Of course she has a point, on one level it can look a tad patronising to point out a woman’s gender when she does well.

We would never do that if a man won a Best Director Award. Why would we?

They always win. Or they always did until she won. No such luck with Zero Dark Thirty though. But you have to wonder how this fi lm is different, better even, than it might have been because it was directed by a woman.

The fi lm received just one shared award for sound editing and Bigelow wasn’t even nominated for Best Director. Why? Because the fi lm has turned out to be rather controversial in the US, with many critics claiming it glorifies torture and is simply a vehicle for CIA propaganda. Even the Senate has been asking questions about what information the CIA passed to Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal. If there was a sharing of information, it was used to produce a truly engaging fi lm in which one strong female lead makes many of her male colleagues look like a bunch of incompetents who don’t understand the enemy they are dealing with. It has been a box office success, and personally I think it is great. It takes you on a riveting journey through the detail of this massive manhunt to the gripping fi nal scenes with the Navy Seal team getting their man. And it is all mediated through the eyes of one remarkable woman.

Jessica Chastain is excellent as the central character, CIA agent Maya,

Zero Dark Thirty is a gripping tale despite some of its geographical errors

who is obsessed with fi nding Osama Bin Laden, or UBL, as she insists on calling him. Apart from the fact that Maya doesn’t seem to have any sense of humour, I can’t really fault her.

Anyone prepared to dedicate that much time to hunting down an enemy like Bin Laden, putting themselves in some pretty disturbing and dangerous situations probably has a few social issues anyway. She is not quite Carrie in the excellent TV series Homeland but not far off. Unlike Carrie, she doesn’t seem to have a sex life. In fact, she doesn’t have the slightest interest in men at all, it seems. Or that side of her character is just not relevant, which is an unusual departure for Hollywood.

She is a woman on a mission, not least to be taken seriously by the men she works with. What a surprise, nobody listens until she starts talking like a man, as in “I’m the motherfucker who discovered the place.” That gets the attention of CIA Director Leon Panetta (we assume although he is not named), played by James Gandolfi ni (Tony Soprano).

The fi lm starts with 9/11 and covers the next ten years in two and a half hours. This necessarily means that some of the facts are compromised.

However, the fi lm does claim at the start to be “based on fi rst hand accounts of actual events.” Bigelow has talked about composite characters.

This means Maya may not be based on

world populated by giants. When the beanstalk grows, Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson), the heir to the realm of King Brahmwell (Ian McShane), is in the wrong place at the wrong time. She is caught in the vines and carried into the sky. Jack, along with Isabelle’s protectors Elmont (Ewan McGregor) and Crawe (Eddie Marsan) and her would-be groom Roderick (Stanley Tucci), head off in pursuit. Unfortunately, Roderick has an agenda that doesn’t involve rescuing Isabelle. In 3D. Directed by Bryan Singer. (Fantasy adventure, 114 mins.)

Nonetheless, he’s all they’ve got – and, as their new king, he’s expected to save them from evil. He is after all, the great and

any one real individual. Some people have speculated that she is based on a real female CIA agent called Jen. But it is disappointing to fi nd out that the journalist and author Peter Bergen, an authority on Bin Laden, says that the one CIA officer who spent eight years searching for Bin Laden and tracked him to the compound where he was killed was actually a man. So was it a deliberate choice to make it a female lead? And what does she add? A fascinating female character who never shows emotion even when others play on her femininity to try to undermine her. But you have to wonder if an organisation like the CIA would act on the say so of one woman against the better judgement of the men who did not believe they had Bin Laden. But then Hollywood does love an individual struggling against the odds, even when she is a woman.

As for the actual details about what led to the eventual tracking down and killing of Bin Laden, the audience cannot really know all the facts and how accurately they are being presented. One thing we do know is that Hollywood is consistently sloppy when it comes to details about the rest of the world. This is an accusation Maya levels at some of her colleagues, their lack of understanding of the culture of the enemy. It is also an accusation that quite a few people in Pakistan have levelled at the fi lm on Facebook and Twitter.

might think that American fi lmmakers are a bit geographically and culturally challenged. Anyone who has seen the episode of Homeland in which the CIA has a safe house in “Nicosia by the sea” might think the same. Personally, I can’t get that worked up about a few geographical errors, although I can see why some might fi nd it patronising.

The point is, does it make good viewing? I have no qualms about saying that it does. The fi nal scenes involving the Navy Seal mission in the compound in Abbottabad are tense and riveting. And beautifully shot.

For anyone who has ever played the game Black Ops on PS3, it’s like that but better. As for the accusations levelled at the fi lm that it is simply CIA propaganda that glorifies their former “enhanced interrogation” techniques, it absolutely does not. If that is what it is attempting to do, it fails miserably.

The fi lm is not even morally ambiguous about torture; it is neutral, allowing the viewer to form his or her own opinion. It does not even suggest that torture gave the CIA useful information. In fact, it is clear that it didn’t. It simply depicts those techniques, and it is uncomfortable viewing. Equally uncomfortable are the voices from the Twin Towers at the start of the fi lm, as are the scenes at the London bombings. As for being a mouthpiece for the CIA, I wonder why the organisation would want to look that pompous and incompetent. Maya sums it up when she responds to a question about how sure she is that she has found Bin Laden. She says, “100% he’s there. OK, 95 ’cause I know certainty freaks you guys out.”

Stars in the making

T

alent. According to Simon Cowell, you’ve either got it or you haven’t. From The X Factor to Britain’s Got Talent, the public has been gleefully tuning into the spate of talent shows that have graced our airwaves in recent years.

Who could forget Paul Potts, the shy mobile phone salesman from Wales who brought Britain to its knees with his rendition of Nessun Dorma, or church chorister Susan Boyle, who rocked the world with her hauntingly beautiful version of I Dreamed A Dream?

Where the world leads, Cyprus follows, and the schools on the island have been quick to jump on the bandwagon, with almost every educational establishment now hosting a competition for its students to showcase their abilities. From hammering out Chopsticks on the piano to drumming in the garage, kids everywhere are pursuing their dreams. But what if your child really does have a unique talent?

What if he or she really can go the distance – how then, when we live on such a small island, do you get them noticed on a world-wide stage? The answer lies in The Limassol Theatre Arts School, whose Open Talent Show is being judged this year by a panel of professionals – from West End Musical Theatre and the UK music industry.

The driving force behind the competition is Lucy-Jane Georghiou, Course Director at The Limassol Theatre Arts School. Herself a talented performer, she’s performed with the Cambridge Footlights, and has a whole host of theatrical

Exhibition

Could your child be the next big thing?

If you think so, sign them up for an upcoming Talent Show says ALIX NORMAN credits to her name. “The world of performance is so competitive now – much more so than when I was younger. There are so many good people out there – and you have to be of an amazing standard to make it,” she says. “We’re lucky at the school to have such professional teachers, all dedicated to bringing out the best in the students.”

The Talent Show is a great jumping off point for kids to be recognised, whether they attend the School or not. “When it comes to the Talent Show, there’s absolutely no differentiation between the kids who attend the school and those who don’t,” says Lucy-Ann. “It’s very important that all the entrants have equal standing; the judges won’t even know their names, just their number and age to ensure anonymity. It’s a totally fair competition.”

This year, the judging panel consists of three renowned performers from the world stage: Richard Roe, Jo Davies and Laura Meaton. All three are experts in their fields: Richard – who has choreographed a number of West End productions - is taking a break from working on the Olivier

Awards to fly out to the island to judge the show, and also present a musical theatre workshop the following day. Jo is a renowned musician and accompanist who travels the world working with stars such as Kanye West, Muse and Andrea Bocelli, and Laura is a talented young actress who has already performed in and choreographed many shows at the Royal Holloway University of London.

In previous years, the Talent Show has boasted every sort of act from pop songs to rhythmic gymnastics, to comedy routines: “The bar is set very high,” says Lucy-Ann. “Although the judges will not be looking for professional acts, the kids do need to have a fi nished and polished piece.

And anyone who needs help will be given lots of positive feedback at the technical rehearsal beforehand.” Previous contestants have gone on to record albums, secure scholarships and have been offered places at renowned Theatre Schools in London, and the prizes this year are similarly coveted: the main sponsor, Soundscape Studios, is offering all winners the chance to record their own fully-produced cover song and video, while the child who judges believe personifies musical theatre will be offered a full scholarship to attend the 2013 summer school at Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden.

With limited places available, acts need to declare their entry

by April 16 to try their chances at being the next big thing. Sure, everyone deserves their moment of fame, but some talents are destined for a lifetime of recognition. If you think you’ve got a star in the making, sign them up and let them shine!

Turn up the volume in Nicosia Techno may still rule the house in Berlin, but for all those dancing fiends out there who enjoy burning the midnight oil and hanging out with hyper-energetic types a little closer to home, there are a few colourful clubs in the capital who like to mix it up with go-go dancing and electronic music.

On a good week, the city’s dance club scene presents a festive, fun atmosphere of memorable merrymaking and innocent debauchery and this Saturday is no exception as Buena Vista Club prepares to host Turn up the Volume. Locals and out-of-town visitors ought to head down there this weekend for a chance to shake your groove.

The night will get underway with George Town & Andy on the decks warming the crowd up with really great high energy tracks varying from deep tech and house. The main set will be played by Michael-M spinning the latest Dutch progressive electro and house sounds and last but not least Nikolas Menicou rounds off the evening with a closing set of trance.

And let’s not forget, Beuna Vista’s distinction from other club nights strikes a chord with a go-go dance show. Go-Go dancing is about being sexy and conveying a good time to

Saripolou Square in Limassol’s old town centre is a vibrant space where charming bar restaurants abound; it is a sort of ‘social’ melting pot, busy day and night, frequented by students, hipsters, young families with children, and even the elderly. The ambience, however, is decidedly ‘young’. The latest addition to this busy square is Just Kitchenbar, a place that shares all the defining characteristics of its location.

In this sense, there’s nothing exceptional or surprising about Just Kitchenbar, which is not necessarily a bad thing as the bar boasts all that it needs to. Trendy space: check; located in a stone-walled ‘old’ building, the bar features unprocessed wooden furniture and modern deco that contribute to an industrial look with a twist. Nice cocktails: check. Mediterranean fusion dishes: check. Slightly over priced food: check (as practically anywhere else in Limassol, a salad will cost you more than €10).

Starters, however, are reasonably priced at €4-6 each, so it might be a good choice to order a starter to share with your drink.

Just Kitchenbar also features a good variety of sitting options: you can sit at a table, or at the higher/island bar type of tables, at the bar, or at the tables outside. The latter choice will give you a view of life on this busy square, but less of the venue’s own atmosphere. As for the menu, it also offers a good selection of drinks, coffees and teas, as well as food mains and starters. This sense of variety also applies to the music played at Just Kitchenbar. Various DJs work the decks on different days of the week.

THEATRE

Theatre for kids by kids Cyprus offers a relatively impressive array of theatrical experiences, but did you know that also includes plenty of stage shows created with children and their parents in mind?

It’s a great week for kids’ theatre and here are a couple of the children’s theatre companies to consider if you’d like to take the whole family out for an afternoon of kid-friendly stage entertainment.

First up is Little Box Theatre, the children’s branch of the theatre company Theatro Transcendental. Founded over a year ago, the theatre company will present its first multimedia production on Friday at the Melina Merkouri Hall; written, directed, filmed and acted by a group of five to 12 year olds.

The company’s first full-length show is entitled The Lost Island and centres on nine strangers stranded on island following a plane crash. Unbeknownst to them they’re actually part of new reality TV show and the whole thing is a set-up to entertain audiences.

The show will be presented just the once and is in Greek, but an English group is currently being put together, so get in touch if you’d like to sign up your kids (any age from four to 18 is welcome).

The second company worth mentioning is the Moscow children’s musical theatre of drama A-AI, who will present the musical The Monkey and the Sea King. Based on African fairytales, myths and legends, the production will suit the very little ones, ages three to nine years.

The story unfolds in the good old days when In the Land of Peter Pan The Puppet Group of Satiriko Theatre presents work by James Barry. Until April 28.

Water: no living thing exists without it. Water is essential to life as we know it and as it cycles from the air to the land to the sea and back again, water shapes our planet and nearly every aspect of our lives.

Its beauty inspires art and this week at the Gallery Kypriaki Gonia in Larnaca visitors can bask in the watery master-

Get out to Gallery Kypriaki Gonia and drink it all in works by Ero Farmaka. Entitled Water Stories, this collection of stories of the sea and the ocean, stories of rain and rivers, stories of liquids and tears; an invitation to a wet world bright, dark, turbulent, motionless, real and metaphysical.

Naturally, Farmaka’s paintings are executed in watercolours.

There are two main themes: landscapes and space. Both are addressed with an abstract interpretation that occasionally evokes a raw, nostalgic flavour with a touch of mysticism thrown in to boot. Nature is analysed in colour, light, shadows and shapes move between abstraction and symbolism.

It’s time to lighten up - but will you be burnt, baby, natural or even lavender this season? EMMA MCCARTHY on the fairest spring shades

The four new blondes 1. Lavender blonde Lady Gaga was right - this season, we’ll be loving that lavender blonde. “Ombre has been a massive trend but while last season’s tones were very soft, this season’s will be much stronger - particularly with hints of lavender and violet,” agrees Andrew John, colour director of Percy & Reed’s salon.

“Lavender tones look really strong all over short or bobbed hair, while those with longer lengths should focus on the mid-lengths and ends.”

They aren’t the only ones championing lavender locks either. “Playful, washed-out paintbox shades have grown up this season,” adds Jane Stacey, international technical director for Toni & Guy, who cites rich amethyst as a key shade, while international colour specialist Goldwell has also launched a new shade - Beautified Lilac. This is applied using the new “Transition” colour-dipping method to create a “melting” effect between the lavender hue and the blonde base.

2. Baby blonde Platinum hair is no longer about achieving an ice queenworthy blonde - in fact, it has been defrosted completely as spring/ summer 13 instead calls for the pale blonde seen on the head of a bouncing new-born babe. “Baby blonde is the perfect shade for

spring - light, delicate and naturally luminous,” says Bruno Elorriroz, advanced creative director at Aveda.

“With an almost-white, youthful angelic effect, the new platinum is all about appearing softer and natural, while retaining an iridescent glow. It’s all about getting the tonal balance right - we’re not going for harsh ice queen here,

With an almost-white, youthful angelic effect, the new platinum is all about appearing softer and natural, while retaining an iridescent glow more ethereal princess.”

3. Burnt blonde If anyone knows a thing or two about hair dye, it’s Bleach London.

But the salon that fi rst brought us the dip-dye is taking its inspiration not from My Little Pony but from the Seventies this season.

“The warm, rusty gold blondes of the likes of Marianne Faithfull and Stevie Nicks have replaced the ashy silver tones we’ve been obsessed with recently,” says the

salon’s founder Alex Brownsell, who counts Cara Delevingne as a modern-day devotee of the look.

“As well as looking effortless and sexy, burnt blondes are also really easy to maintain as you don’t have to have regular salon trips to top up the colour. As we see more of the trend for Seventies fashion emerging, we’ll certainly be seeing a lot more of this hair shade too.”

4. New natural blonde Think you know a natural blonde when you see one? Well, after you’ve been introduced to the latest highlights you may not be able to tell so easily. The latest technique soon to be launched by L’Oréal is Nature Ombré, which promises to infuse hair with a subtle partial ombré effect using its fi rst no-ammonia blonde solution for a super-natural result.

Over at Daniel Galvin, the salon has furthered last year’s popular Finger Painting highlights with the introduction of Freehand.

As well as being applied by hand - rather than combs, brushes and foils – truly natural highlights are guaranteed thanks to a new Whitewash colour formula, which gently lifts and lightens the natural pigment of the hair with a low developer for a softer fi nish. It means you’ll be left with locks which look sunkissed, rather than bleached.

Begin your valiant search at River Island. The store’s recently launched collaboration with Rihanna includes crop tops, slashed-tothe-thigh transparent dresses and high-shine Lycra knickers - and is a faultless example of the brand’s dedication to exposing our lumps and bumps this summer.

Vogue signs up to new 10-point code protecting models at work

By Louise Jury The glossy fashion bible British Vogue has become the fi rst publication to sign up to a new code of conduct on working conditions for models.

The influential title has taken the lead in agreeing to abide by a 10-point code drawn up by the models committee of Equity, the union that is better known for its campaigning for actors.

The deal means that models hired by British Vogue will work for no more than 10 hours a day, have suitable food provided and will do no nude or seminude shoots unless approved in advance. The code also includes breaks, transport, suitable temperatures for the clothes being modelled and prompt payment.

It lays down that no model should be asked to do anything “dangerous, degrading, unpro-

fessional or demeaning”. It also means no models under the age of 16 can be used in photo shoots representing adult models.

Model Dunja Knezevic, the chair of Equity’s models committee, said she hoped that other magazines, retailers and designers would now also sign up and “prevent treatment of the kind which would be wholly unacceptable in any other profession”.

The code was drawn up

Fitness after 65 is no one-size-fits-all endeavour If they can wiggle their toes they can exercise reports DORENE INTERNICOLA

A

merica’s ageing population is posing special challenges, fitness experts say, because it is difficult to design effective workout routines for people with such a wide range of abilities.

For one 70-year-old, the goal may be to run a marathon, for another it’s getting out of a chair.

“If you are teaching 10-year-olds, it’s perfectly reasonable to do an activity that everybody would participate in,” said Dr Wojtek ChodzkoZajko, an expert on ageing with the American College of Sports Medicine.

“But 20 80-year-olds could be as different as chalk and cheese.”

Some baby boomers could be athletic, he explained, while others would be unable to get out of bed.

There are now more Americans age 65 and older than at any other time in US history, according to Census Bureau figures. Some 40 million people age 65 and over lived in the United States in 2010, accounting for 13 per cent of the total population.

The older population grew from 3 million in 1900 to 40 million in 2010.

Older adults should be doing aerobic activity to help maintain body weight, strengthening exercises to develop and maintain muscle mass and some type of flexibility training, according to Dr James Graves, Dean of the College of Health at the University of Utah.

Physical activity can reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis, he said, as well as improve the quality of life by maintaining functional capacity, such as the ability to climb stairs, open doors and carry groceries.

Mary Ann Wilson is the creator and host of Sit and Be Fit, a senior fitness programme that has aired on US public television since 1987 “A very healthy 70-year-old can safely participate in high-intensity activity while a frail 60-year-old needs to lower the intensity,” said Graves. “My recommendation is to work with a personal trainer or group leader who has knowledge and qualifications to work with the elderly.”

Mary Ann Wilson is the creator and host of Sit and Be Fit, a senior fitness programme that has aired on US public television since 1987.

The majority of her viewers are women over 65. For that population, she said, the goal of exercise is health and well-being, not physical prowess.

“Gravity has been working on them for 70 years,” said Wilson, a reg-

istered nurse who specialised in geriatrics. “Gravity is not our friend after many years of pulling our heads, shoulders and upper torsos forward and down.”

The 30-minute class includes warm-up, circulation and strength segments, a finger segment (for stiffness), standing for balance, and fi nal relaxation.

Posture, breathing, balance, cognitive functioning and reaction time are among the most important-and neglected-components of elder fitness, she said.

“Focusing on gait is really important because as we age our gait changes,” said Wilson.

Karen Peterson, author of Move with Balance: Healthy Aging Activities for Brain and Body, stresses a mind-body approach in workouts with seniors.

“In our society it seems people don’t really like to do things unless they’re good at it already,” said Peterson, a kinesiologist based in Maui.

“But what the brain likes is to be challenged.”

Her exercises include tossing a bean bag to improve reaction time, walking a figure-eight pattern for balance, as well as eye stretches, jaw relaxers, childhood games and cognitive challenges to keep body and mind alert.

“We take balance exercises and add conversation or math problems,” she said. “The concept is to always progress, always get more challenging.”

To tackle the isolation and diversity of the older population, Peterson initiated a mentoring programme in which the fitter seniors work with the frailer.

“Some partners will become friends,” she said. “They’ll get really turned on.”

Experts agree that it’s never too late to do something. “Exercise is effective even in the most frail individual,” Wilson said. “If they can wiggle their toes, they can exercise.”

Hab Habitat: A self-supporting, climbing member of the Apocynaceae family, growing to about 10m in tropical rain forest ynac areas of central Africa. It is covered in grey/green, speararea shaped leaves and produces clusters of highly aromatic, azashap lea-type flowers, which go on to form hairy, fawn-coloured lea-t seed pods. All parts of the plant are very poisonous.

Wha does it do: When an early English explorer in the 17th What century sailing off the coast of West Africa tried to make cent llandfall d to take on water and fruit he was assailed by a local tribe that fired on his ship with what were described as puny arrows; it was only when these missiles reached their targets that they were made fully aware of the potential. It was not necessary for the arrows to effect deep penetration, merely to scratch the victim, to achieve their purpose. The barbs

were coated in a resin made from the seed of kombe, which contains strophanin, an extremely powerful glucoside. In addition, the plant contains the alkaloids ouabain and ineine: all capable of causing death in any animal whose blood stream is pierced by the arrow tip. The resulting death was described as ‘living rigor mortis’ by the crew.

The Victorian missionary David Livingstone and his botanist Kirk were the first to bring the plant back to Europe for scientific analysis, where it was found to have greater cardiac healing potential than digitalis, as it does not have the same harmful effects on the liver and kidneys as the latter, and was known to 19th century physicians as ‘milk for the ageing heart’.

Kombe fell from popularity between the wars but has recently been restored to prominence mostly by the activity of German practitioners who prefer its action in the case of geriatric heart patients.

Veterinarians use an extract from the plant to anaesthetise the eyes of dogs before surgery, but it has no effect on the eyes of humans.

Disaster area: local Sri Lankans search the wreckage of the 2004 tsunami

Anne Frank step sister highlights post-Holocaust traumas

By Belinda Goldsmith

Survivor’s overwhelming tale of family swept away

By Claire Harman “I thought nothing of it at first,” Sonali Deraniyagala writes in Wave: A Memoir of Life after the Tsunami of the view from her hotel window on Boxing Day, 2004.

“The ocean looked a little closer than usual. That was all.” Deraniyagala and her husband, both Cambridgetrained economists, their two small sons and her parents were packing up to leave the nature reserve in Sri Lanka where they had spent Christmas. Her husband was on the loo, her elder son was reading The Hobbit.

What happened next was so peculiar and devastating that it seems to come from the pages of mythology rather than a young urbanite’s holiday. The sea came up the beach so fast that Deraniyagala and her husband didn’t even say

anything to each other but grabbed the children and fled, not even knocking next door to alert her parents.

Minutes later they were in a Jeep, being driven away by someone from the hotel.

Then, as quickly, they were submerged by the tsunami, and Deraniyagala was sent spinning away alone, the sole survivor from her family. Eight years later she is able to tell this appalling story with a skill that matches its strangeness.

Deraniyagala was thrown instantly into a life that seemed to belong to someone else; she found no “coming to terms” with such a trauma but constant pain. Through the months of rage, self harm and alcoholism that followed the tsunami, she found it impossible to deal with the disaster. “Was I

PAPERBACKS

their mother?” she writes, poleaxed by a long-delayed return to the family’s London home. “They would be aghast to see the mess I am now. This is not who I was with them.”

The author doesn’t need to solicit the reader’s sympathy with this story - most will find it overwhelmingly moving and dreadful. Deraniyagala’s style is spare and wryly realistic as she goes back through vignettes of her marriage and the lives of her five and seven-year-old sons, a collection of snapshots of ordinary life: cricket practice and sweet wrappers and belching competitions.

There is no idealisation or portentousness: Deraniyagali understands that the best way to memorialise is to be honest, even about one’s false memories and hindsight. As if that

wasn’t enough, Deranayagali’s book also gives fascinating evidence of how people remember and narrate extreme experiences.

The timescale of her account of the tsunami is inexplicable: some moments drag out, others pass unnoticed. When you don’t know what’s happening, there isn’t a “story”, and she doesn’t impose one. The chasm is as strange as the random remains: searching in the ruins of the hotel, all that she can recognise of the room where disaster struck is the bolthole in the floor that locked the window - her last instruction to her son.

“Loss of life” has rarely seemed such a potent phrase. Memoir seems like a debased coin these days but this wrenching and deeply philosophical book restores the gold standard.

As the step-sister of World War II diarist Anne Frank, Eva Schloss was in great demand when she went public with her story of surviving Auschwitz but now she hopes a new memoir will highlight another issue - surviving life after the Holocaust.

Schloss, 83, said it was increasingly important that ageing Holocaust survivors pass on their stories while they still can so younger generations understand the suffering Jewish people faced and the consequences of prejudice.

With her memoir, After Auschwitz: A Story of Heartbreak and Survival by the stepsister of Anne Frank Schloss said she hoped to convey the message that the horrors continued for a lifetime.

“People have no idea how traumatic it was to cope with such loss, with living in a different country,” Schloss said.

“After the war Europe was in chaos and no one wanted to know what had happened to you. People felt guilty. You had to stay quiet and suppress your fears which came out in nightmares. You just had to try to live with it.”

Schloss was arrested in Amsterdam in May, 1944, on her 15th birthday during the German occupation and, with her mother, was forced to listen to her brother and father being tortured in the next room while in detention.

A similar fate befell Eva’s playmate and neighbour Anne Frank who died

in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

Frank survived two years in hiding in Amsterdam where she wrote her diary that highlights real lives during the Holocaust.

The two families had been friends and several years after the war Schloss’ mother married Anne Frank’s father, Otto, whose relentless optimism she cites as a key reason for her ability to cope with the post-war years.

Schloss remained silent for nearly 40 years about her ordeals and it was not until she was invited to an exhibition about Anne Frank in London 1986 and asked about her own life that she started to talk.

She never looked back.

With her third book, Schloss said she wanted to focus on the lifetime of suffering faced by survivors after the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators.

She said she was one of the lucky ones because she had managed to build a new life in London where she lives with her husband of 60 years, Zvi, with whom she has three daughters.

“All us survivors are quite elderly and in a few years we won’t be around so we need to tell our stories,” she said.

“Racial tolerance is improving with more mixed marriages but religious tolerance seems to be getting worse with more fanatics now. It is my duty to try to explain and to promote more acceptance and tolerance in the new generations.”

Lost at Sea

Every Contact Leaves a Trace

The New Few

By Jon Ronson

By Elanor Dymont

By Ferdinand Mount

Jon Ronson is an extremely funny writer and a brilliant journalist. If you read this collection of his stories you’ll see that he’s funny precisely because he is such a sharp reporter. He knows exactly where to look for stories that resonate - and writes them with perfect pitch. The North Pole, the boxes of stuff in Stanley Kubrick’s house, the underbelly of the credit economy, the artist who painted 50 self-portraits, each under the influence of a different drug. Ronson is both ruthless and empathetic - a perfect combination. He’s great on detail, too. He spots the tiniest things but always keeps the big picture in view.

This murder mystery, which gripped me with unusual force, starts on a summer evening at an Oxford college.

Several years after graduating, Alex and Rachel have returned for a visit. He’s a lawyer. She’s an academic.

They knew each other slightly when they were at the college, then they met again, years later, and had a very swift romance. Now they’re back.

You’ll spend the whole novel wondering exactly why they have come to visit their old college. By the end of the evening, Rachel is dead - beaten to death with a rock. Horrible. Alex tries to find out why. Or is he the killer?

This novel sucks you in beautifully, and will not let you go.

Ferdinand Mount, who wrote Cold Cream, an exquisite memoir, and Mind the Gap, about the British class system, has turned his mind to the problem of inequality. Why are a tiny number of people very, very rich? Why are so many so poor? In Mind the Gap, Mount made a brilliant point about how the Industrial Revolution had moulded Britain’s unique social mix. Here he’s good on what’s happened more recently. He explains how capitalism has subtly changed over the years. He’s very good on the relationship between shareholders and fund managers and unpicks financial products.

The Few, it turns out, are very clever – and virtually unopposed.

25 On the move: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in London

Horoscope

BY SALLY BROMPTON

ARIES The past few weeks have been hectic but now the time has come to take back control of your life. You may have been able to ignore certain financial responsibilities in March 21 - April 20 the past but not any more. There are bills that have to be paid even if that means dipping into your reserves. Cosmic forces are focussing on what you earn and what you spend but really all you have to do is live within your means.

TAURUS In a few days time your solar year will begin and with Venus and Mars also moving into Taurus relationships are bound to be high on the agenda. If you’re not happy with your April 21 - May 21 situation this is the moment to do something about it. Just be sure you know what you want.

Americanah

By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Becoming an outsider wherever you go

C

himamanda Ngozi Adichie’s fi rst two novels, Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun, were both firmly set in Nigeria, where Adichie was born. The first followed the dysfunctional family life of a teenage girl, Kambili; the second revolved around several characters before and during the Biafran war of the 1960s. A volume of stories, The Thing Around Your Neck, followed, with many tales set in America.

Americanah spends time near the opening and close of the book in Nigeria, has an interlude in Britain, and resides, for its longest spell, in America, where Adichie has lived for much of the past decade. The pendulum-like structure provides its subject and its theme, largely about what moving between countries and cultures does to identity.

Politics plays a part in the story, as it is in all Adichie’s writing. But the major dramas here are internal. Ifemelu and Obinze, the two main characters, both, by the end of the novel, part of “the Lagos youngish and wealthyish”, fall in love in Nigeria as teenagers in the Nineties. Ifemelu wins a scholarship to study in America, with Obinze vowing to join her. Denied a visa, Obinze goes to Britain instead.

Ifemelu stays in America for than a decade, slowly - agonisingly – building a

Fresh depictions of Obama-era America and affluent Lagos life says JEROME BOYD MAUNSELL new life. She works as a babysitter, has American boyfriends, and starts an anonymous blog about race, written from the perspective of “a Non-American Black”.

Adichie offers an unsparing portrait of being an incomer to America and Britain, tracing the emotional desolation Ifemelu and Obinze feel shedding their roots, and the economic traps they face, as they are initially forced to adopt new identities (and take on new names) to work. Ifemelu struggles to accommodate herself to misguided pity towards Africans. If some Americans see her in stereotypical terms, many of them are also seen stereotypically, drawn with a problematic flatness. In her blog, however, Ifemelu is wittily alive to nuanced shades of difference.

Ifemelu’s blog entries appear in the novel and must have been fun to write.

They also become wearying, as Americanah threatens to become a tract on

race. The distanced perspective of the blog is due to Ifemelu’s “outsider” status in America, allowing her to see and to say certain things. Yet when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, she has become an outsider there: an “Americanah”, looking “with American eyes”, as one friend teases.

Two different writers within Adichie seem to be struggling with each other in Americanah: one preoccupied by inflammatory themes about society; the other concerned with characters and emotions. They don’t gel, as they could. One of the nicest touches is how Adichie tackles this very tension, showing Ifemelu’s growing disillusionment with her blog’s stridency. In Nigeria, race falls away as an issue for Ifemelu; in Britain, for Obinze, class, money and the threat of deportation dominate.

While Adichie is not overly concerned with literary style, and sometimes writes merely robustly despite some careful, moody passages, she constructs situations with intricacy and subtlety. There is a particular freshness to the depictions of Obamaera America and affluent Lagos life, which neatly sidestep cliché. Yet the largest part of Americanah’s considerable power lies in its clear-sighted portrayal of its two main characters, who always, for all their incongruities, feel real.

Authorised Thatcher biography to be unveiled

By Robert Dex The first volume of Margaret Thatcher’s authorised biography will be published after her funeral this week.

The book, which was written by former Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore and is called Not For Turning, was commissioned in 1997 on the understanding it would not be published during her lifetime.

Its author was allowed full access to Lady Thatcher’s private papers and also interviewed her extensively while researching the work.

Lady Thatcher, who did not read the manuscript which ends in November 1982, also supported requests for interviews with her family and people who worked with her and Moore was allowed to see government papers held back from public view under the 30-year rule.

Stuart Proffitt, from publishers Allen Lane, said: “Charles Moore’s biography of Margaret Thatcher immediately supersedes all earlier books written about her. Having worked closely with Lady Thatcher on both

April 14, 2013 • SUNDAY MAIL

volumes of her autobiography, and read all the other main books about her, I was astonished at how much Moore says which has never been public before. At the moment when she becomes a historical figure, this book also makes her into a three dimensional one for the fi rst time. It gives unparalleled insight into her early life and formation, especially through her extensive correspondence with her sister, which Moore is the fi rst author to draw on. It recreates brilliantly the atmosphere of British

politics as she was making her way, and takes her up to what was arguably the zenith of her power, victory in the Falklands. Moore is clearly an admirer of his subject, but he does not shy away from criticising her or identifying weaknesses and mistakes where he feels it is justified. It is, by any standards, an exceptionally impressive book and to be publishing it at this moment is a rare privilege.”

Moore is currently writing the second and final volume called Herself Alone.

GEMINI Mercury, your ruler, moves to focus on your dreams and desires encouraging you to make a number of important decisions about your future. Don’t rush: you have plenty of May 22 - June 21 time to consider all the pros and cons. The longer you take, the wiser your judgement will be.

CANCER This is an important time for you. So many of your dreams are now on the brink of success or failure that even a minor decision could make all the difference. Don’t rush into anything but be ready to act decisively when you see the June 22 - July 22 opening you have been waiting for.

LEO The Sun, your ruler, crosses the midheaven angle of your chart later this week, an auspicious omen by anyone’s standards. You may have to fight for something you want but that shouldn’t worry you in the least. Just remember July 23 - Aug 23 you don’t have to beat everyone into submission!

VIRGO

Aug 24 - Sep 23

No matter how mundane the things you have to do early in the week, try to make time to sit quietly and think about the wider implications of your life. You were born to make a difference, to add your little bit to the sum of human knowledge. Are you doing all you could?

LIBRA

Sept 24 -Oct 23

There are things no one knows about you, not even those who share your most intimate secrets. You may be tempted to tell all this week, to get matters off your chest but, in a word, don’t. The urge will pass but the repercussions of what you say could drag on for months.

SCORPIO At times you’re too independent for your own good: you certainly have no intention of compromising your freedom or beliefs. But with the Sun about to begin its annual transit Oct 24 - Nov 22 of Taurus there are certain things you cannot possibly do alone. Don’t be too proud to ask for help.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23 - Dec 21

Don’t sacrifice yourself too willingly this week: let partners and colleagues make all the running. Some people genuinely need your help but others are just trying to take advantage of you. You’re under no obligation to ease others’ burdens by adding to your own.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 - Jan 20

As from this week you will begin to see just how fortunate you really are and just how much can be achieved if you don’t believe the world is against you. The Sun in Taurus is a hugely positive influence. Use it any way you want to but for goodness’ sake use it.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21 - Feb 19

So what if you made a mistake? You’ll make plenty more before the week is through, and so will everyone else. What matters is not the mistake but that you learned from it. Your current problem is one you have confronted before. But this time you’ll know how to deal with it.

PISCES Don’t let a failure in communication get you down. A loved one may overreact to what you say but since when have you been perfect? The reason they’re so emotional is because Feb 20 - March 20 they think the world of you. Perhaps it’s time to make your own feelings a little more clear.

Fasten your seat-belts, AXE Apollo ready to fly you away AXE is giving the opportunity to one lucky contestant to win a trip to space! AXE Apollo wants to show everyone they are hiding a hero inside by announcing the biggest competition ever realised by a brand. Mission ‘AXE Apollo Space Academy’ could send one lucky winner on a very real adventure to space.

Among the winners there could even be a Cypriot!

Take part in a unique test and compete in order to win a place at AASA’s Global Spacecamp.

Through an interactive game, contestants will be asked to take part in a three-stage test, which will determine the one lucky winner who will travel to AASA’s camp in Orlando, Florida. There they will battle it out to see who can win a trip to space!

The preliminary stages that contestants will have to compete in will be nerve-racking and will require speed and imagination.

The road to AASA’s Global Spacecamp might be difficult but the prize will more than compensate the winners who will leave as normal

people but will return as real heroes!

The first stage takes place until May 31. Candidates need to register their participation on the AXE Apollo Space Academy website (https:// www2.axeapollo.com/el_GR/) and get their friends to vote for them. The 50 candidates with the most votes will qualify for the next stage.

The second stage will take place between May 31 and July 15. The 50 chosen winners will then do battle through AXE Apollo’s facebook page as they take part in a digital and social competition. Through the page they will show why they deserve to be in the top five. The public and a designated AXE committee will then decide who will be the lucky five who will qualify for the third stage of the competition.

The third stage will take place between July 16 and the end of the calendar year. AXE Apollo Space Academy will train the five lucky winners and will decide which contestant to send to space. The candidate with the most votes will graduate in first place at AASA’s Global Spacecamp and will go on to compete for a seat for a journey to space!

By Preston Wilder

The Prey (LTV, 21.00) It’s all getting a bit French! A French gangster movie on Pick of the Day last night - and another French thriller tonight, its trailer (in French) asking “Who is the hunter? Who will be the prey?” which is all quite exciting. Albert Dupontel is the hunter (or possibly the prey), doing time for bank robbery but breaking out when his ex-cellmate - now a free man - turns out to be a serial killer with designs on Albert’s family; also at stake is the loot from the bank, which Albert managed to hide before being arrested - and fans of classic Hollywood may discern a touch of The Night of the Hunter but this is something else again, “a testosterone-packed thriller full of breathtaking stunts,

The Prey

convoluted plot lines, interesting characters and unexpected shock moments,” to quote a breathless fan at the Internet Movie Database. And you thought the French just made films where people smoked Gauloises and talked endlessly. Made in 2011.

In Darkness (Novacinema1, 22.00) Phew, that was close: fans of traditional European art cinema may be wondering what’s happened to their favourite continent, with all these gangsters and serial killers - but this is the kind of European film we know and love (or just know), a sober-minded drama for the middlebrow audience. It’s a Holocaust movie, the ultimate ‘serious’ genre (inevitably, it was nomi-

nated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar), telling the Schindler’s List-ish tale of Leopold Socha, a sewage inspector in the Polish city of Lvov who helped a group of Jews by hiding them in the sewers. As in Schindler, the point is a rather unworthy man becoming a hero despite himself; as in Diary of Anne Frank, the Jews bicker endlessly but remain (of course) sympathetic - and you also have a horrible setting (the sewers) for those close-ups of rats and so on. Wellmade, engrossing and probably unnecessary, with a gratuitous interlude in a concentration camp so we can all shake our heads at those eeeevil Nazis (they’d shoot a man for not wearing his cap!). Old-school Euro-cinema still lives. Mostly in Polish; made in 2011.

By Preston Wilder

The Whistleblower (LTV3, 20.00) “You’re not safe. Accidents do happen,” our heroine is warned. “You’d do better to shut your mouth,” someone tells her - but she won’t shut her mouth, that’s the problem: she’s uncovered a sex-trafficking scandal, and she’s doing her best to expose it. “I’m just doing my job,” is the way she sees it - and ‘she’ is based on a real person, a Nebraska cop called Kathryn Bolkovac who worked as a UN peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia and was shocked by what she found there, not just corruption but also a prostitution network catering to UN officers and diplomats. Rachel Weisz plays her, flanked by two other British heavyweights (Vanessa Redgrave and Benedict Cumberbatch) plus an Italian

heavyweight (Monica Bellucci) - a fine cast for a littleknown movie, its obscurity possibly explained by the fact that it sounds a bit too virtuous. Do-gooders are admirable, but seldom entertaining. Made in 2011.

Wanderlust (Novacinema1, 22.00) George (Paul Rudd) and wife Linda (Jennifer Aniston) go on the road, having lost their jobs and trendy Manhattan lifestyle. They stop at a motel, where a lady shows our weary heroes to their room. “If you’re George ... then where’s John, Paul and Ringo?” quips this lady - then waits, smiling meaningfully, as if expecting a response to her ludicrous witticism. That kind of detail is the best part of Wanderlust, a patchy

Wanderlust

comedy where the main plot peters out but there’s always something fun on the fringes, minor characters turning out to be zany, bizarre and/or unreasonably annoying. Paul and Linda end up in Elysium, a hippy commune they find along the way, signposted by a nudist (“I’m a nudist,” he explains unnecessarily; “Oh yes, we noticed your penis earlier,” replies George politely). Some of the jokes are witty, like the hippies showing approval by rubbing their fingers (it’s “less aggressive than clapping”); some are over-the-top, like the infamous ‘mirror scene’ (you’ll know it when you see it); the result is amusing, with the two stars in good form - and a minor character usually comes to the rescue when things go flat. Made in 2012.

By Preston Wilder

Steel Magnolias (Capital, 21.00) Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Julia Roberts and Olympia Dukakis are magnolias - gracious, beautiful Southern flowers - but beware, for they’re made of steel beneath the feminine trappings. “Looks like two pigs fightin’ under a blanket,” quips sharptongued Olympia when a rival makes the mistake of dancing, a reminder that the tag-line described this smash-hit chick-flick as “The funniest movie ever to make you cry”; the crying comes later, with irrepressible Julia (Oscar-nominated) who gets married, has a child despite being diabetic and ... well, you’ll find out.

The ladies sit around in Dolly’s beauty parlour, feudin’ and bickerin’ and gossipin’; “I don’t see movies ’cause

they’re trash, and they got nothin’ but naked people in ‘em!” says grumpy Shirley at one point - and an audience of middle-aged women who feel similarly about (most) movies took this one to their hearts, making it a huge hit. Manipulative, but not trash - and no naked people, sorry Julia fans. Made in 1989.

That’s My Boy (Novacinema1, 22.00) I have a confession: I don’t hate Adam Sandler films.

I mean yes, they’re obviously mindless and aimed at your inner cretin - but they usually manage a couple of mind-bending gags (even Jack and Jill had the whole Al Pacino sub-plot) that make them unexpected, if

That’s My Boy

not exactly good. That said, I haven’t seen this one, pairing Sandler with Andy Samberg from ‘Lonely Island’ (their comedy songs have over 40 million hits on YouTube); Adam is an irresponsible dad, Andy the son he fathered at age 13 (a schoolboy crush on a teacher that “went a little too far”) and raised as a single parent. Andy’s now a rich hedge-fund manager, Adam needs cash in a hurry - so he suddenly shows up just as his estranged son is about to get married, and of course the two ultimately bond and so on and so forth. Sounds pretty lame, then again all Adam Sandler films sound pretty lame - because they are pretty lame; still, I can’t bring myself to hate them. Also with 80s rapper Vanilla Ice (as himself). Made in 2012.

Your Face Sounds Familiar (Antenna, 21.00) I recall a time, not too long ago, when Greek was king and speaking English marked you out as a traitor or worse - but things have changed, and local audiences are now expected to recite the English title of this new (Greek) variety show and indeed to get the joke, such as it is. The joke is that various Greek celebs dress up as other, mostly non-Greek celebs - Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Freddie Mercury, Lady Gaga - and attempt to sing in the style of the people they’re imitating; familiar-looking faces with songs attached, hence ‘your face sounds familiar’. The show sounds familiar too, the usual talent-show malarkey only with Joe

and Jane Bloggs replaced by has-beens looking for a quick career boost - but Antenna proudly reports that it’s “broken TV viewing records in China, Holland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Chile, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia and Vietnam”, so it’s obviously what people want. Imagine what it’ll do in countries where they actually understand the title.

Magic Mike (Novacinema1, 22.00) Ladies! Has your weekend been dull or frustrating?

Don’t despair: get your girlfriends together and check out the toned male flesh (plus some female flesh) in this tale of male strippers, starring hunk du jour Channing Tatum! That’s how Magic Mike was marketed, as

Magic Mike

a film for a girls’ night out - which is fair enough but there’s also something more in this excellent drama, an undertow of melancholy and the wry realisation that there’s something sad about a 40-year-old male stripper. ‘Magic’ Mike (that’s Tatum) isn’t quite there yet - but he’s not getting any younger, and his fantasy life as a “cock-rocking king” on the stage of the Xquisite strip-joint is rapidly giving way to the problems of his offstage life. The best scene is a wild party with a hurricane raging outside (the film is set in Florida), the lashing rain and gale-force winds ignored by the revellers - just as the strippers themselves are in denial, strutting their ageing stuff as long as the women keep cheering (and paying). Recommended. Made in 2012.

By Preston Wilder

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (Novacinema4, 21.00) “If you thought breaking up was hard ... try breaking up with a superhero!” This must happen a lot, because superheroes are notoriously volatile - but Luke Wilson doesn’t know that Uma Thurman is a superheroine named G-Girl when he meets her alter ego on the subway and strikes up a relationship. Alas, Uma turns obsessively jealous, needy and controlling (“the trifecta,” notes Luke’s best friend sagely) so our hero decides to break up - and of course she takes revenge as a Woman Scorned is wont to do, throwing maneating sharks through his bedroom window and that kind of thing. A comedy that was criticised for

perpetuating stereotypes of women as insecure and oestrogen-addled - but it’s actually quite good fun, a cheesy men’s-magazine joke about Women in Control (help!). Uma’s a threat even before she becomes an ex-girlfriend, in the way she takes charge of everything and tells Luke he’s using his tongue all wrong; immature men will laugh, women will laugh at men for being immature. Everybody wins. Made in 2006.

A Gang Story (Novacinema1, 22.00) Not the most memorable title, but I guess ‘The People From Lyon’ didn’t sound like a winner either. That’s the original French title - Les Lyonnais - those people

A Gang Story

from Lyon being gangsters, specifically Serge and Momon (Tcheky Karyo and Gerard Lanvin) who’ve been friends since they were kids. Both men are now middle-aged, and Momon has retired from ‘the business’ - but he’s forced back into action when Serge is arrested and a ruthless cop tries to make him snitch on his old friend. “There’s one code at play here: a hood’s gotta do what a hood’s gotta do,” sighed Henry Barnes in The Guardian, dismissing the film as dull and flashback-heavy - and it’s certainly erratic, with far too much plot to fit into 100 minutes, but writer-director Olivier Marchal used to be a French cop himself and has a feel for this kind of pungent underworld milieu.

Shame about the title, though. Made in 2011.

There Will Be Blood (Novacinema2, 19.15) There will be gasps. There will be oohs and aahs. There will be Oscars (and in fact there were, Daniel DayLewis winning Best Actor as ‘Daniel Plainview’). There will be puzzlement, especially towards the end when DDL yells “I drink your milkshake!” and Paul Dano - as a preacher named Eli Sunday - doesn’t seem to have aged at all after many years. There may also be complaints that this famous film doesn’t have much to say, and that’s probably true - but it’s still irresistible, a character study of a strange, tormented man, spiced with outlandish set-pieces and a hypnotic score. Plainview is an “oilman” in the early 20th century, churn-

ing out black gold from the rocky innards of the Western landscape; he claims to be accompanied by his “wonderful son H.W.” but in fact the boy is an orphan, adopted by Plainview after H.W.’s dad was killed in a drilling accident - and the lie eats away at this plainspoken man, finally destroying his relationship to oil; oil gives him a son, and oil takes him away. There will be layers. There will be excellence. Made in 2007.

Mercy (LTV3, 20.00) If you’re a novelist, beware women whose names start with ‘M’ and end with ‘y’. Misery made life a misery for snowbound author James Caan (actually the psycho’s name in Misery was ‘Annie’, but work with me here) -

Mercy

and a woman named Mercy does the same to Scott Caan (son of James) in this tart romantic drama, which Caan also wrote. He’s a successful author who writes about Love but “Love as I see it”, meaning one-night stands with no intention of settling down - at least till he meets Mercy (Wendy Glenn), a woman (and literary critic) who resists his easy blandishments and hooks him like no other. The film’s problem may be that Mercy is an impossible character to play - a woman so smart and beautiful she instantly turns this shallow hack into a true romantic - but the script is apparently quite strong on the foibles of male vanity. Caan writes from experience, with doting dad James also on hand to offer good advice: “Love is a myth!”. Made in 2009.

The Hangover, Part II (LTV, 21.00) It’s Stu, Phil and Alan (Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis), the hapless trio from the first Hangover, once again on a wedding-related jaunt where things go terribly wrong - and Part 2 faithfully reprises all the ‘money’ moments in Part 1, albeit changing the details slightly. Part 1 had a tiger in the room, now it’s a capuchin monkey; Stu was missing a tooth in Part 1, now his face is tattooed; Mike Tyson appeared in Part 1 - and appears again in the sequel, belting out ‘One Night in Bangkok’ which is where the film is set. Still a lively comedy, with some undisputed highlights, but the slavish repetition is a bit depressing - and the Galifinakis character has been much-

weakened, turned into a standard-issue manchild instead of the singular weirdo he was in the original.

It gets worse: The Hangover, Part III has already been filmed, and comes out next month. Made in 2011.

Deadly Hope (Novacinema1, 22.00) Be thankful for small mercies: this might’ve been a made-for-TV thriller about a female assassin named Hope, and thankfully it isn’t - but it is a made-for-TV thriller, our heroine (not named Hope) being Alana de la Garza, a successful obstetrician whose life unravels when her business partner and fellow doctor is murdered. Turns out he was stabbed through the

heart with a needle, the surgical precision of the strike making our heroine briefly a suspect - but Alana has more to worry about when she meets another man and he too is murdered in the same way. Don’t you hate when that happens? Alana was apparently the killer’s intended victim, which sounds a bit strange since he (or she) is killing these people with a small hypodermic needle - can’t (s)he see who it is before stabbing them? - but veterans of made-for-TV thrillers know not to question these things too closely. The real question is why Nova are showing such trashy obscurities in a prime movie slot - and yes, I know they often appear on Plus or Capital, but we don’t pay a subscription fee for Plus or Capital. Made in 2012.
