People: Meeting Costa-Gavras who has spent a life in film

H

ave you got the XX factor, the one which a new book claims is driving an elite band of working women to spend more time in the office rather than scurrying home to check the maths homework? Woe is you. A new book by academic Alison Wolf looks at the implications of a sizeable group of women with more in common with men than they have with each other.

If you like your job and put a lot into it you will have no problem recognising the type. This isn’t just the preserve of Sheryl Sandbergian superearners. I know women running voluntary organisations or trying to set up small businesses who would admit that their primary focus is the workplace rather than the hearth.

Suddenly this behaviour is being treated as a problem rather than a credit to women’s education and attainment. A fifth of women, Wolf says, have the XX factor, though the figure must be a lot higher in some areas.

Once you have been established in this stereotype, watch out. Even benign sorts will be receptive to the idea that the family must be making a terrific sacrifice because mummy is more familiar with her project schedule than the homework rota.

Don’t demean women who put work before home

Whatson: New Expo highlights the advantages of living in Paphos

Women who want more out of work than just the pay cheque aren’t guilty of some troubling inversion of normality says ANNE MCELVOY in the Yemen, the female spin doctor played by Kristin Scott Thomas snaps orders at politicians from her mobile phone, while her children gaze needily after her as they are bundled off to private school. Unhappiness generated by career success is casually portrayed as the natural result of her ambition. The sort that comes from frustrated women sitting around at home or in less satisfying jobs is less often projected on screen, or at least not with the alluring Scott Thomas in a starring role.

True, the Alpha quest doesn’t lead reliably to happiness. The new biography of Margaret Thatcher reveals Denis contemplated a split when both of them were working too hard for the good of the marriage: a scenario we don’t have to be as driven as she was to recognise.

It’s easy, however, to accentuate the negative - and the degree of female solidarity which Wolf claims is being lost is questionable. For one thing, professional women have to take a lot more account of their domestic helpers than those progressive Edwardians with a ready supply of staff. These relationships can’t be wholly equal but they’re a lot less divided by snobbery than they were.

Culturally, too, we should be wary of the wider tendency to make rather good developments - more high ranking female graduates and a (slightly) more porous corporate culture at the top - sound like subjects fit for Jeremiads. The underlying suggestion is that career women are becoming narcissistic, a charge rarely applied to the bloke in the office next door.

Most hard-working mothers know all too well there are things they neglect and which mothers who spend more time at home do far better. But I’m sticking it out against the revisionists on this one. Women who want more out of work than just the pay cheque aren’t guilty of some troubling inversion of normality.

They’re just making up for lost time and for opportunities their grandmothers didn’t have or couldn’t take.

Analyse them all you like - then back them.

I’d choose to go Dutch on a mission to Mars

By Nick Curtis So, would you go? Dutch company M Mars One announced last week that iit has received thousands of applicattions for a one-way trip to colonise the R Red Planet. Those who make the grade w won’t be able to come back, of course, b because they will be captured immediately on landing and forced to work iin the sex mines of Glamazona, the g green-skinned, lissom Queen of Mars, w who wears a Teflon bikini. Only joking: tthe seven or eight-month spacefl ight, a and prolonged exposure to Mars’ weak g gravitational field, will apparently result in alterations to bone and muscle density that make it impossible to rea adjust to life on Earth.

Thus the Europeans have effortllessly trumped the Americans in the space-machismo stakes. Those applyiing for the US millionaire space touriist Dennis Tito’s planned return trip

to Mars in 2018 must now feel deeply inadequate, mere dilettante daytrippers compared with the hardcore pioneers bidding for a one-way ticket.

They’ll probably have to wear special high-pressure space suits, the Yanks, or stay in the Mars Rover, eating Twinkies with their seatbelts on, while the Dutch are building canals and coffee shops on the Hesperia Planum with their bare hands, wearing just orange Crocs, shorts and singlets and shouting: “Changes to bone density - bring it on, hey!!”

The most contentious argument ever among my friends was over a hypothetical trip to Mars. It went like this. You have a chance to go to Mars but the ship only has enough fuel to make the outbound trip. Life has been discovered on the planet but the boffins don’t know whether it is microbes, monsters with teeth like ploughshares,

the aforementioned Glamazona or her himbo equivalent. So would you go?

Will said he would and his girlfriend Sarah said she wouldn’t, which prompted a blazing row (they split up some time later). John said he would, if he could take a machine gun and a flamethrower. Mads said he would, as long as he didn’t have to go with John.

Being one of nature’s cowards, I said I wouldn’t. But now I’m not so sure.

True, Mars has no water and hardly any atmosphere (at least until the Dutch build their coffee shops) and the constant strafing of the solar wind strips the skin off you like paint. But it also has no high-interest payday loans or punitive equity-release plans to rob the elderly of their homes. It doesn’t have endless roadworks or bloody quinoa. I’m throwing in my lot with the euphonious Bas Lansdorp, co-founder of Mars One. What about you?

Her name was Dolly L

By Richard Dickenson

ast summer I went to a Heavy Horses Show in Devon. How it brought back memories.

Soon after my twelfth birthday my granddad took me up the hillside from our village.

Only up there was the ground flat enough to plough. And there in the following weeks I fi rst learned how. There were no tractors. It was five years later that I fi rst ploughed with a tractor or, come to that, even drove a tractor.

All that lay well into the future on that chilly morning when I first stood behind Dolly, the huge Shirehorse. Dolly stood 16 hands. She was dark bay with darker tail and mane and white ‘stockings.’ A white blaze ran from her eyes down to her upper lip. Around each pastern [ankle] hung a mop of shaggy, white hair over her hooves. She was 12 years old - a month older than me. I weighed in at 70 pounds she almost three quarters of a ton.

I could already harness a riding horse but getting Dolly into her working gear was something else. Her ploughing collar was 30 pounds of leather, iron and brass. She knew how to drop her head so I could just lift the collar over her poll to behind her ears. Then she’d raise her head for the collar to slip down her crest to around her chest and withers. It was not necessary to use a bit; she obeyed voice signals perfectly. But rules were rules. Dolly hated even her drinking bit and no man was strong enough to make her open her mouth. However, for the going price of half a raw onion she would oblige albeit with a withering look of disdain that could freeze a heat-wave.

She absolutely would not wear blinkers.

Her thick, leather backband was as long as I was tall and from it hung the cruppers - sidestraps that carried the plough-pulling chains [traces].

The reins had to be threaded through each in turn. Then the plough itself was attached and

lifted into its high position clear of the ground for walking to the field.

If I had to list the things I would recommend a man to do in his lifetime the list would be long. I’d recommend the plant-

If I had to list the things I would recommend a man to do in his lifetime the list would be long.

I’d recommend poetry, Shakespeare, Bach, Mozart, the Bible and the

schools across the island are to grow organic vegetable gardens to get students involved in the process of nurturing crops and to teach them to be more environmentally friendly.

Premier Shukuroglou Cyprus Ltd, a company that offers products and services in the fields of crop protection, animal health, public health and industrial chemicals, will donate the compost and instructions on how the organic plants should be grown. Solomou Nurseries Ltd, a garden centre and landscaping service, will donate the plants.

Two vegetable gardens have already been created in the elementary and secondary schools in Yeri. Lettuce, onions, parsley and other vegetables were planted about two months ago. Other vegetable gardens will be planted in schools that want to take part in the programme.

per cent decreases in tuition fees will be put in place at private and state-run universities for the 2013-2014 academic year, Minister of Education Kyriacos Kenevezos announced this week.

Kenevezos said the decision was made after the ministry’s plea to the rectors and boards of private universities in light of the crisis to reduce their tuition fees for the next academic year.

“The reduction in fees is happening despite the fact that universities have not increased their tuition fees since 2010 and there had been talk there could have been an increase,” he said.

Kenevezos added the Ministry will attempt to play its part in helping out during the crisis. Asked whether there would also be a reduction in college fees, he said any announcement would be made after the Ministry comes to an agreement with the relative establishments.

ing some 20 yards behind, all squawking and scavenging for the wriggling morsels that signal breakfast. It’s all too wonderful to describe.

Dolly was a marvellous ploughhorse and won several prizes dressed with her mane platted with ribbons. She could also do other jobs. She could harrow, rake, drill-seed and roll at sowing time. Then in late summer she pulled the combine harvester that cut the wheat and baled it into sheaves. Later she hauled the big wain while we pitchforked the dry sheaves onto it then clambered up and rode on top for the harvest home runs. Dolly loved fresh bread and we saw that as well deserved for she had seen the whole job through - from plough to loaf.

Of no interest to anyone but me - all the others who knew her having probably moved on Dolly lived to be 32. Not a bad age for a Shire. I don’t suppose she remembered me but I have remembered her every day of my life.

Corruption grows

Haircut lawsuits

per cent of those polled said last year that corruption was a major problem, up from 70 per cent in 2010, a survey by Transparency International Cyprus (TIC) said this week. TIC polled 953 people across Cyprus between September and December 2012, and across gender, age, employment and the unemployed.

Some 85 per cent thought there was corruption in national institutions last year, up from 60 per cent in 2010. People also grew more fatalistic and from about 50 per cent who thought corruption was inevitable and would always be present in 2010, 73 per cent thought so last year.

And more and more people blamed politicians (93 per cent), the police (93 per cent), and local authorities and officials at both regional and local level (93 per cent), saying last year that they thought these sub-groups exchanged bribes and abused their position for personal gain.

applications fi led against last month’s Eurogroup decision to resolve Laiki Bank and force losses on uninsured depositors at the Bank of Cyprus began at the Supreme Court this week.

The applications were fi led by depositors who can expect to lose the entirety of their deposits over €100,000 at Laiki and between 40 to 60 per cent (potentially higher) of uninsured deposits at the Bank of Cyprus (BOC).

The eurozone finance ministers’ decision on March 25 provides for the restructuring of Cyprus’ two main banks, through the resolution of Laiki Bank and the recapitalisation of the Bank of Cyprus, resulting in a massive write off (haircut) of Cypriot and foreign bank deposits.

It transpired during the hearing the effort by lawyers to group cases together failed, meaning the Court will hear each of the 53 applications separately.

Koran. And I’d tell that ploughing is a peak experience, on a par with baking bread or roasting fresh-shot venison.

One ploughs alone so it’s just you, the horse and the field. You line up the plough a few yards in front of where you’ll start. The command is given to ‘walk on’, the horse takes the strain and it, you and plough move together. Reaching the intended spot you lift the plough handle and the spear drops into the soil. It’s the ploughman’s job to encourage the horse, steer it and make sure the plough is biting deep enough but not too deep for the horse to pull. For me it was made much easier because Dolly could easily plough a straight furrow without steering. As the plough cuts, the earth is sliced, pushed in a long unbroken, richsmelling turf along the curved blade and turned to lie almost upside down. The ploughman does not walk behind the horse.

The horse walks to the side of the new furrow, the ploughman in it. Within minutes the crows, rooks and seagulls are swirl-

At 80 filmmaker CostaGavras still fizzles with a surprising energy that drives his ongoing projects. THEO PANAYIDES meets a man who remains creative and robust

The energy of the Peloponnese C

osta-Gavras is 80 but he’s been giving interviews all day, holding court at the Holiday Inn a day after being named Honorary Professor at the University of Cyprus. That’s nothing, however: Costa-Gavras is 80 but he’s still directing fi lms, an arduous profession that requires long hours, constant problem-solving and meticulous organisation. “Ah but, you know, the organisation, pffft,” he notes with a nonchalant wave of the hand (as if to say ‘the organisation takes care of itself’) – a gesture very typical of France, his adopted country for the past six decades. Later, however, when I marvel at his unquenchable energy, the Greek side comes out: “You know, I’m from the Peloponnese,” he replies patriotically. “And you know – how do we say – the climate of Arcadia, the water of Arcadia, it gives an energy!”

He was born Constantinos Gavras, but changed it to ‘CostaGavras’ when he got into movies.

Why didn’t he stay with his full name? “Because there are many ‘Constantinos Gavras’es,” he shrugs.

“Besides, ‘Constantinos’ was the

name of that wretched king!”. The second part makes sense – his father was loudly anti-royalist, and was jailed as a result – but the fi rst part is surely ingenuous: there weren’t any other ‘Constantinos Gavras’es in Paris, where he lived from the age of 18 (and still lives now). It seems much more likely that he wanted to stand out: ‘Costa-Gavras’ sounds dashing, artistic, stylish. Style has always been important in his fi lms,

style and energy. He’s best-known for political movies like Z (1969) and Missing (1982), for which he won an Oscar – but calling them ‘political’ makes them sound like homework, when in fact they’re breathless, sophisticated thrillers.

His latest fi lm is Capital, where (to quote the synopsis) “the head of a European investment bank desperately clings to power when an American hedge fund company tries to buy them out”. So the Americans are the villains? “Some Americans,” he points out carefully. He’s had trouble in the past, especially with Missing (a tale of CIA involvement in the Chilean coup of 1973) which prompted a furious protest from the State Department – though charges of being ‘anti-American’ didn’t stop him having a Hollywood career, directing the likes of Jessica Lange and Dustin Hoffman in fi lms like Music Box (1989) and Mad City (1997), and he ended up being vindicated anyway: an editorial in the New York Times – hardly a hotbed of Commies – concluded that, based on the facts, Costa-Gavras was right and the State Department was being economical with the truth. “Looking

back on all the fi lms I made,” he muses when I ask which of his fi lms he’s most proud of, “there isn’t a single one where I feel I was wrong”.

That sounds arrogant on paper, but he doesn’t come across that way at all. His face is hawkish, his movements elegant, his gaze languid and unruffled. He has silver hair and bags under his eyes, but the face is expressive – and positively glows with pleasure when I express my admiration for his debut, an almost forgotten French whodunit called The Sleeping Car Murders (1965). He talks very fast, and tends to stop very suddenly. He loves discussion, the backand-forth of snappy dialogue; none of the answers he gives are long or verbose (it’s no surprise to learn that he curtailed the usual speech when accepting his award at the University, replacing it with a Q&A with the audience). He likes to speak in short, pithy aphorisms, thus for instance when he says that religion is “the answer to a massive problem that we human beings have”. Pause. “And I’d rather stay with the problem”.

I watched (or re-watched) a couple of his fi lms as preparation – and in fact the work reflects the man,

fizzing and crackling with short bursts of energy. Costa-Gavras has a reputation as a raging lefty, but it’s fairer to say that he loves the tension of competing ideologies without necessarily committing to an ideology himself (Z was attacked from both Left and Right, though for different reasons). Near the end of our interview, he quotes Milan Kundera to the effect that wisdom comes from asking questions, stupidity from providing answers (the full quote goes as follows: “The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything”) – and it’s clear that he thrives on asking questions more than giving answers. He’s a gadfly, not a preacher. ‘How come you never went into politics?’ I ask at one point, prompting yet another pithy aphorism: “Because a politician offers an ideology, offers a truth. Whereas I don’t think there’s only one truth”.

H

is father was an ideologue (though not a politician), an active and vocal leftwinger – he belonged to EAM, the Communist-backed wartime Resistance – at a time when that took courage in Greece. Not only was he jailed, as already mentioned, but he lost his job and his family were blacklisted; Costa-Gavras couldn’t go to university (you needed a Certificate of Good Conduct, automatically unavailable to a boy from a leftwing background) while his mum cleaned houses to support the family. “I didn’t ‘go’ to France, I escaped to France!” he says. “Greece had nothing to offer me. The future was closed. I belonged to a social class that didn’t have a lot of rights”.

What class was that?

“The poor,” he says simply.

France was good to him, though he didn’t even speak the language when he arrived in Paris (“It was an adventure,” he recalls with relish); he studied law at the Sorbonne, then fi lm at the French national fi lm school. It makes sense that he paid his dues in the industry by working for a decade as an Assistant Director – because that, above all, is a job that rewards energy.

It’s a bit more creative in France, notes Costa-Gavras, not just “an organiser” like in Hollywood, but the AD still has to marshal extras, humour actors, all the exhausting donkey-work that keeps a fi lm set humming. Easy to imagine how his indefatigable style and open, effervescent style personality made him good at it – and also allowed him to cultivate friendships, above all with husband-and-wife mov-

‘The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything.

The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything’ ie stars Yves Montand and Simone Signoret. He spent happy weekends at their home in the country – and they, in turn, agreed to star in The Sleeping Car Murders, sending the young director on his way.

Montand returned for Z four years later, the fi lm that really ‘made’ Costa-Gavras, a big hit that earned him an Oscar nomination – though also a tale of a political assassination in 60s Greece, not exactly a surefi re commercial subject. It took years to set up, he admits, and I sense for the first time that there has to be a steely, stubborn side to this elegant gentleman. Then again, Z wasn’t just a random project but a way of giving something back to Greece (the title is pronounced ‘Zee’, from the Greek word meaning ‘He lives’), and perhaps to his victimised father. ‘How Greek do you feel, after all these years?’ I ask, noting that he opts to do the interview in Greek rather than English (my French is a long way from adequate).

“I feel very Greek,” he replies.

Admittedly he’s a French citizen, “I feel very attached to France because France gave me everything – but a part of me is always Greek”. He smiles ruefully: “And the Greek part wakes up every time Greece has problems, and I feel like they’re my problems!”

Like now, for instance? He gives another wry Gallic shrug. “It’s a bad moment,” he admits. “A very bad moment. Unfortunately Europe wasn’t built on a political or cultural foundation, but an economic foundation. And that’s why we’re in this situation, because there isn’t – how to say it? – a political ideology that binds it together”. Look at Hungary, for instance: “Hungary today has a government that’s entirely fascistic.

But they’re in Europe – which is unacceptable. Why are they in Europe?

Because it’s a market. What we did was, we opened up the streets [and said] ‘Come and buy. Buy and sell’!”

It’s the longest answer he’s given me, and the fi rst real mention of ‘political ideology’ – yet I also note the answer he gives a little later, when I ask if he reckons the European project will collapse under the weight of these contradictions, and he shakes his head. No, he says, the EU will

survive – for a very simple reason: “Because, when I was a young man, Europe was about 35 per cent of the world’s population. Do you know how much it is today? Less than 15 per cent”. Sticking together is the only way to avoid irrelevance. We have to be practical.

Costa-Gavras is essentially a practical person, a robust Arcadian in the world of movies. He’s restless, pragmatic, a doer; it’s hard to imagine him either whining or foaming at the mouth. “You know, I always tried not to have too many beliefs,” he smiles when I ask how his personal beliefs have changed over the years.

Christianity was the first to go, closely followed by Communism (or at least Stalinism). “I have some beliefs,” he concedes. “Not what Christians say, that we have to love others as we love ourselves – that’s impossible, I only love a few people – [but] the rest I respect, I respect their dignity. I believe in that deeply. I believe in people being free. I believe in democracy, true democracy, not the kind we have today”. He pauses.

“That’s about it.”

And of course there’s the work – always the work, even at 80, always preparing projects or writing scripts.

His wife Michele is also his producer; his children, Roman and Julie, are both fi lmmakers. What advice did he give them? “Not to become fi lmmakers!” he replies instantly. “To be lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects…

But they decided on this”. The fact that he’s President of the Cinematheque Francaise implies both how French he’s become (the French are picky about who they elect to head their cultural institutions) and how important movies are in his life. “I watch fi lms, I read, I go to the cinema,” he replies when I ask what he does for fun. “I’m not very sociable.

I go to the theatre a lot, to see actors and know what’s going on, but I avoid galas and premieres”. Restaurants?

He lives in Paris, after all – how can we not talk restaurants? But he mentions a Cypriot restaurant (the famous Mavrommatis), which is more the mark of a good conversationalist than a true foodie.

Almost time to go. He’s due at a formal dinner in an hour – and of course he’s been giving interviews all day. Doesn’t his energy flag? Hasn’t he grown a bit cynical, after so many fi lms and so many years? “Cynicism is a lack of love and interest in other people,” he chides. “It’s being shut inside yourself, and viewing everything through your own concerns and ambitions and so on. No, no – I think one must remain open to other people, and try to be interested in other people”.

Things change, says CostaGavras; one has to keep hoping. History isn’t a matter of cycles, “that’s rubbish, History never repeats itself.

History is different every time. People are different, ideas are different.

In my day they used to say that Communism will never change. There are so many truths which are no longer truths”.

And do things improve?

“The tendency is to get better.

We take two steps forward and oneand-a-half steps back”. He shakes his patrician, hawk-like head: “You know, freedom doesn’t always end up the way we hoped. But freedom is still better than no freedom”. At 80, Costa-Gavras is still up for a fight.

Establish an evening routine: Maria Hadjimarkou Photo: Christos Theodorides

The good sleep I

magine there is something that can counteract stress, make you thinner (and taller!), lengthen your life span and improve both your physical and mental health. Something that will improve every area of your life, from focus at work to the familial home, will benefit any age from newborn baby to aged aunt and is available to every single one of us – for free? It sounds too good to be true, but this miracle cure is an ability you were born with, a therapy you practise on a daily basis, a remedy you take for granted... sleep.

Most of us take sleep for granted; it’s idiomatically ingrained in our language: losing sleep over whomever you’re sleeping with? It’s not worth missing out on your beauty sleep, let sleeping dogs lie and you’ll sleep like a log. We tell our children to sleep tight, but we don’t seem to sleep a wink; we cry ourselves to sleep when our pets are put to sleep; in business we have sleeping partners and tell ourselves not to wake the sleeping giants. But how often do you honestly consider the importance of the process which will consume a third of your life?

Dr Maria Hadjimarkou is a specialist when it comes to sleep; as Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Nicosia, what we do in the small hours is her particular area of expertise, and chatting to her about the topic is – do pardon the pun - an eye-opening experience! Initially, a student of Pre-School Education, Maria became fascinated by psychology, completing her BA and PhD in the subject at Queens College of the City University of New York. Incredibly knowledgeable, she has a gift for communicating ideas and inspiring her listeners seldom evident in those whose profession involves the sciences.

“Sleep affects all of us, but it’s so often overlooked,” she says. “And yet we, as humans, are getting far less sleep than we used to, with our busy lives and our constant ‘to do’ lists stealing our sleep time. Sleep is created by the brain for the brain,” she continues, “and the system falls apart if we don’t sleep enough.

When you sleep you cycle back and forth through four stages of NonREM and REM sleep roughly every 90 minutes: dozing off is followed by Non-REM sleep, in which neuronal activity decreases to its greatest extent and the brain can restore

Given the advantages it offers, the benefits of sleep are all too often overlooked says ALIX NORMAN and rejuvenate itself. This slow, Non-REM sleep is followed by REM sleep – characterised by intense activity in the brain and atonia in the muscles of the body.” Interestingly enough, we’re capable of dreaming in both Non-REM and REM sleep, though we’re most likely to remember our REM dreams which occur just before waking.

Although individuals differ, normal sleep lasts between seven and eight hours – and sleeping too much can be just as detrimental as sleeping too little. Some studies have shown that sleeping more or less than your personal optimal level can increase the likelihood of mortality, and studies on rodents have proven that sleep deprivation can ultimately cause death. In humans, apparently, the same thing causes huge changes to the functioning of the immune system as our endocrine levels spiral out of control: the level of leptin (which stops us from overeating) falling, and ghrelin (responsible for increasing appetite) rising, leaving us with the desire to stuff our faces without cease. “There is an association between reduction in sleep and the increase in obesity in modern society,” notes Maria. And as we cut back on our catnaps, the brain’s ability to restore itself is diminished, leading to a loss of attention, and difficulties in our ability to learn and remember information.

“If you’re a student cramming for an exam, you often sacrifice sleep for study. But by doing so, you’re actually having the opposite effect from what you intended; there are a great many studies which support the premise that sleep aids memory consolidation and performance.”

But what if you don’t have the time for a full night’s sleep? Maria advocates forty winks: “Some companies allow employees a quiet space to indulge in a quick power nap; they’re investing in the health and wellbeing of their workers, which leads to an increase in productivity and a decrease in the like-

lihood of developing mental health problems, such as depression. Ten to 15 minutes can be a great benefit to people who are stressed, be they overworked employees or busy mothers.” This is the voice of experience: with a 21-month-old son, Maria knows just how hectic life can get.

“For mums, sleep deprivation often begins in the fi rst trimester, worsening by the third trimester with the surge of hormones and the big belly. Then there’s breastfeeding, where you’re getting up two or three times a night – it can be exhausting!” With a lack of investigation into infant sleep habits, Maria has become a bravely pioneering parent: “I did a lot of research myself to deal with the sleep habits of my son,” she admits with a smile. “Very often, kids don’t get enough sleep, staying up late and then being unable to calm down and go to bed.” With up to 70 per cent of an infant’s snooze time being REM sleep (compared to roughly 25 per cent in adults), this is when brain development occurs, while in Non-REM sleep the growth hormone is secreted to a maximum degree – proving there’s a great deal of truth in

the ancient Greek saying ‘sleep helps children grow’!

So what advice does Maria have for those of us with hectic lives and fractious offspring? “With children, as with adults, establishing an evening ritual helps the transition from wakefulness to slumber: a warm bath and a bedtime story for youngsters, light reading or gentle music for grownups. A lot of people don’t realise the importance of a bedtime routine, or of good sleep hygiene habits,” she concludes. Not, in fact, related to the state of your sheets, sleep hygiene is all about creating a refuge in your bedroom – soft lighting, pleasing colours and no distractions. “You shouldn’t have too many things in the bedroom,” she suggests. “It can be difficult, but computers, television and gym equipment have no place in a sanctuary.”

With sleep being one of the most basic human needs, and a cure for so many ills, it s worth heeding this it’s doctor’s expert counsel; maybe it’s time to relocate your treadmill and leave your laptop at the office. “After all,” Maria concludes, “your bedroom is for two things only: sleep and sex!”

the sexiest in the world), the resort on Brazil’s south coast provides romance and seclusion. Children under 18 are not permitted. No wonder it’s the weekend destination for wealthy paulistanos (inhabitants of São Paulo, 650km away but just an hour by plane).

Local flavour: oysters served at Ponta dos Ganchos band, there’s still plenty to do, including gourmet dining, a hilltop spa with cabañas overlooking the ocean, a cinema, nature trails along the headland and scuba diving.

Brazil is Latin America’s big success story - it will be hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016 – but Ponta Dos Ganchos is still something of an insider secret.

Located just north of the island of Santa Catarina, this award-winning Relais & Châteaux resort is tucked away on a privately owned peninsula surrounded by the Emerald Coast and lush rainforest.

My trip came in the middle of a city tour covering both São Paolo and Rio de Janeiro. With all the feverish, frantic brilliance on offer, it was a chance to really unwind. The atmosphere is so laid-back here you can go barefoot or sparkle in your jewellery.

Frankly it’s not easy to leave your

superb South American wines are served. At lunch there’s an informal seafood grill - locally caught fish such as grilled mussels, scallops and prawns. Then you can sunbathe with coffee on the oversize sofas along the shore.

The à la carte menu changes daily. One night I feasted on a tasting menu of acaraje souffle with tomato tartar and spicy biquinho pepper cream; followed by grilled shrimp and mashed sweet manioc with yemanja sauce, and sea bass with bean pirao. For dessert came a refreshing fruit soup with zabaglione and pistachio ice cream. Guests can have supper served on the beach or dine solo on their little stone island (reached by walking a long wooden catwalk bridge).

Gentle exertions are boat trips along the coastline, to go oyster fi shing or watch dolphins. Then there was that lost afternoon tasting dif-

Located just north of the island of Santa Catarina, this award-winning Relais & Châteaux resort is tucked away on a privately owned peninsula surrounded by the Emerald Coast and lush rainforest bungalow, which is bigger than the average flat. Decorated in rusticchic style, my open-plan, loft style bedroom had a huge bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a sauna with ocean views and a bathroom with spa massage and Jacuzzi. There’s wi-fi, flat-screen televisions and a fi replace, plus an expresso machine and private wine cellar. Outside, the bungalow has a private deck with an infi nity pool.

Breakfast is served in the games room, close to the fitness centre and indoor swimming pool. A dainty nine course feast that is more like English afternoon tea is offered with teeny sandwiches or blinis, omelettes, fruit, organic shots, even an indulgent fruit clafoutis with whipped cream. All before 11am. As a lovely touch, your name is spelled out in the froth of the cappuccino.

The main restaurant, Cantinho de Velez, which overlooks the beach, is like a set from South Pacific. The menu combines traditional Brazilian recipes with international haute cuisine. It’s delicious but healthy (I imagine honeymooners don’t want to retire stuffed). The resort grows its own organic fruit and veg and

ferent flavoured cachaca (Brazilian rum). The Christian Dior spa - the only one in South America - consists of three small pavilions each with a garden at the edge of the peninsula.

You can enjoy a relaxing full-body massage as the sun sets over the bay, listening to waves crash.

Entertainment here helps keep you on site. One magical night, I watched a torch-lit folk art performance by Boi de Mamão, as figures in traditional animal costumes acted out the story of the death and resurrection of the ox. Florianópolis, an hour’s drive away, is well worth a visit, with its mix of colonial and super-rich beach houses.

Cross over the famous old suspension bridge, no longer open to traffic, to the city centre and you’ll fi nd ornate churches and fantastic local markets.

Brazilians are a bit obsessed by weddings (hence the existence of a honeymoon island). In the central town square, Praça XV de Novembro, there’s a 100-year-old marriage tree. Walk clockwise and legend has it you’ll be engaged in minutes.

Proceed backwards, however, if you want a divorce…

A man arranges pieces on a giant chess board at Hyde Park in central Sydney

Stop, Look, Live: an ode to Sydney's public spaces

By Pauline Askin Bartenders tossing bottles in the air, a man who talks to eels and the etiquette of park chess are all part of an Australian exhibition telling the story of some of Sydney's most beloved public spaces.

Inspired by a book about drawing the city, curator Nerida Campbell and her team at the Museum of Sydney fanned out across the streets, choosing five public spaces and talking to people about how they enjoy them.

"It opened my eyes to how much Sydneysiders valued their public space," she said of the Public Sydney: Stop, Look, Live exhibit.

"Talking to people about buildings and how they love the carvings and the sandstone. These are not architects, just people who walk past."

Ultimately the curators chose places representing five aspects of Sydney life: the Museum of Sydney as a cultural

site, Hyde Park as a green site, Central Station as a transport hub, Town Hall as a political building and Bennelong Point, with its view of the Sydney Opera House and harbour foreshore, as an iconic tourist site.

Setting up the exhibit, which includes photographs, drawings, objects and video, brought a number of unexpected discoveries and surprises.

One of them was Max, a middle-aged man who talks with eels at a pond at Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour, Campbell said.

"I assumed people go to the Botanic Gardens to relax and spend time with their families, but Max told me he goes there to interact with the eels. He has a thing about eels, he understands them," she said.

"He feeds the eels, they come up out of the water and you can pat the eels - apparently, I haven't tried. (But) when I mentioned this to people thinking it was quite

unusual, they said, 'yes, I do that'."

The exhibit also looks at how the use of public places has changed, such as how bicycle couriers have taken to hanging out on the steps of the General Post Office at one main thoroughfare in central Sydney, the way the postmen - known affectionately as "posties" - did for so many years.

And in a nod to the modern world, the exhibit encourages viewers to "look around you twice" during the course of their day and contribute their discoveries to a blogging site.

Another discovery was the elaborate social rules that govern who can use the chess boards in Hyde Park, or the "flair bartenders" - those who make a performance out of mixing drinks - who practice on the grass at the same park.

"They love it there because there's no ceiling to smash bottles and the grass is soft," Campbell said.

Holiday funding by parents revealed in survey

By Peter Woodman It is not just younger offspring that are relying on the ‘bank of mum and dad’ to fi nance their holidays, according to a survey.

Adults in the UK aged 35-44 are just as likely to get their parents to pay for their trips as those aged 25-34, the poll by Aviva showed.

Based on responses from 2,000 adults, the survey revealed that as many as 35 per cent like to go away in groups with friends and family.

Of these big-group tourists, 20 per cent end up being treated to their trip, with those from East Anglia and south east England the most likely to go away with others just so they can get a "freebie".

The main reason given for taking breaks

as part of large parties was spending quality time together, followed by the chance to engage in exciting activities. Around 15 per cent said group trips helped spread the childcare responsibilities.

The favourite trip for these group travellers is a beach holiday, followed by a cultural city break. Hotels are the most popular form of accommodation.

The survey also showed that those holidaying with the same group of friends and family have been doing so for an average of almost seven years.

Aviva business development director Simon Warsop said: "It seems the days of rushing off to escape home life are behind us with friends and family now an integral part of our holiday plans."

Wine for Easter Easter is time for a big feast, which means some robust wines to accompany it

W

hat is a holiday feast without good value wine? The foods eaten over Greek Orthodox Easter – lamb, wild greens, fresh cheese - make perfect fare for a spring feast. Easter in Greece is the biggest holiday of the year – even bigger than Christmas – and the food must match up to the occasion.

Celebrity chef recipes may be bad for your health The dabs of butter and splashes of cream in recipes of celebrity chefs may be impressive on the plate, but not necessarily so good for your health.

Research published in the Food and Public Health journal by University of Coventry scientists said this week that recipes of celebrity chefs were "exacerbating" health problems such as obesity in Britain by encouraging people to eat fatty dishes.

TV shows and top-selling books by chefs such as Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Delia Smith as well as TV cooking competitions MasterChef and the Great British Bake Off have legions of eager fans testing out recipes.

But researchers at Coventry's

health professions department found that 87 per cent of the 904 recipes from the 26 cooks they tested fell substantially short of the British government's healthy eating recommendations.

"If people regularly use the recipes found in these cookbooks, it could be that celebrity chefs are exacerbating public health nutrition issues in the UK," study author and Coventry senior lecturer Ricardo Costa said.

The study comes just months after a survey, published in the British Medical Journal, found that recipes by TV chefs, including Oliver and Lawson, were less healthy than ready meals.

The researchers refused to say which chefs' recipes they tested,

but said they had sampled randomly from best-selling books and websites in such a way as to ensure a balanced representation of different types of meals.

"This study is not about naming and shaming celebrity chefs.

However, given the level of trust the public tends to place in the nutritional integrity of these cooks' recipes it's important to highlight where they're falling short of healthy eating benchmarks," Costa said.

After an analysis of each of the recipes, the academics discovered that only 13 per cent used ingredients that presented an overall nutritional composition that would be considered healthy in accordance with benchmarks set by

Britain's Food Standards Agency.

The results also indicated that all celebrity chefs whose ingredients were analysed promoted recipes that contained undesirable levels of certain nutrients - particularly saturated fatty acids, sugars and salt - which are linked to obesity and risk factors associated with diabetes and heart disease.

Celebrity chef Annabel Karmel, whose cookbooks for children and families are found in kitchens throughout Britain, told Sky News that some recipes in celebrity books were bound to be indulgent, but people were smart enough to make healthy choices.

"I think people are intelligent enough to choose their own recipes."

2009 Stroumbeli Str Syrah, Pafos Abv12 Abv12.5% Crimson red in colour, the Cr nose has aromas of dusty, ripe mixed berries and violets mingled with scents of gr grilled meats.

e were at a social function in the centre of the capital when I was asked if we had reviewed La Spaghetteria which was open and close by. I must have passed it a thousand times and not seen it. Any number of friends and relatives, particularly those with an Italian leaning, have dined there and mentioned the home made pasta in all its forms.

The establishment has been there for years and obviously serving the customers to a reasonable

shrimp and mixed green salad, one among the eight on offer, it is a curious mix of shell-on and shell-less; the dressing is pink with a strong hint of the South Seas. To help the evening along I chose a reasonably priced bottle of Chianti, and the companion had a Pellegrino. Now the choice of pasta is no problem: penne for her, tagliatelli for me; it’s the sauce that slows you down. The range is astonishing - we have the Alfredo: butter, parmesan, onions and fresh cream – and Spring Time: asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, cher-

The range is astonishing - we have the Alfredo: butter, parmesan, onions and fresh cream – and Spring Time: asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, pesto, parmesan and fresh cream standard, or so one would expect.

It was a little after 7:30pm on a Tuesday night when we arrived and were shown to a little table in the window. The place is empty but the atmosphere is warm, friendly and welcoming. We are approached by Renna, the maitresse, who informed us that all the pasta is made on the premises and we merely had to make our selection and the sauces would follow. The menu is beyond extensive and requires serious attention; there are over 90 dishes and one has to decide after selecting what form the pasta will take - spaghetti, penne, tagliatelli etc - whether it will be accompanied by a red or white sauce. There are wood-oven baked pizzas, sandwiches, salads of all hues, sea food, steaks, burgers, even a take-away lahmadjou.

From the starters we selected the

ry tomatoes, pesto, parmesan and fresh cream. There is a Spinach Garden entry, a Cheesy Chicken Fillet, a most interesting Martini Bianco, which involves shrimps and chives, as well as a novel Stroganoff sauce, and many more. The red list ranges from Napolitana to Salmon, stopping on way at Sandorini, Milan and Bologna.

The companion selects the spinach dish and I fancy the pork fi llets marinated in mustard; the former will contain spinach, almonds, mushrooms, cream cheese, garlic and the inevitable fresh cream. Renna places a bowl of ground cheese on the table, which looks very much like halloumi and even tastes like it.

As parmesan is mentioned several times on the menu one thought it might make an appearance.

The main dishes arrive; goodly

portions, hot plates and smiling service. The companion, of Piedmontese stock, grimaces - a very bad sign - the penne is two points above al dente and bathing in whatever a blend of spinach juice and cream forms; the spinach has been placed on the pasta without being properly drained, and the mushrooms are boiled. As for mine, the meat is beyond description; it is pork, but where it has been before it arrived on my plate is anyone’s guess, certainly not under a grill. The meat tears on knife contact and instead of the sharp taste of mustard I get salt. The tagliatelli is glutinous.

Both dishes are abandoned. Enter the proprietor, the grave Maurice, he is distraught, he wishes to show me the packaging for the cheese, which certainly has an Italian address.

One can feel the owner’s distress, it is a very quiet night, and obviously the kitchen is having an off-night: it happens in the very best of restaurants.

Nevertheless we order a sweet: tiramisu or chocolate mousse; one of each. Mousse is great. Maurice never charged for the main courses. May he and Renna have better nights.

Reincarnated Turning 40 in 2011 seemed to turn Snoop Dogg’s head somewhat.

After a trip to Jamaica, the most mellifluous rapper of all rechristened himself Snoop Lion, claimed to be a Rastafarian, started wearing string vests and embraced reggae on this 12th album. A guest list packed with rap chums (Drake, Akon, Busta Rhymes) and children’s favourite Miley Cyrus hardly helps dispel suggestions that Reincarnation is a belated April fool. It’s not: it’s a proper and properly glorious reggae album and his strongest musically in years. Cleverly, it evokes the angry righteousness of Jamaica’s great Seventies conquistadors, Culture and The Mighty Diamonds, as readily as the electro-dancehall throb of Wayne Smith.

THE CROODS DIRECTED BY Kirk De Micco & Chris Sanders WITH THE VOICES OF Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds US 2013 98 mins

14 FILM FILM REVIEW by Preston Wilder Despite its title, The Croods is funny - and could even work as a metaphor for postdebacle Cyprus

From Stone Age to our age W

hat do we teach our children? All cartoons are to some extent tools for passing on the messages that we think kids should know – but what are those messages? ‘Don’t talk to strangers’, for instance. Pinocchio talked to strangers, and look what happened to him. ‘It’s OK to be different’: Dumbo had big ears, and that’s perfectly fine. Both those examples are 70 years old, but the second message is bigger than ever in our age of diversity (‘Don’t talk to strangers’ seems to have fallen by the wayside, maybe because kids are cooped up at home these days anyway). But we’ve also seen a new message in the past few years, driven perhaps by recessions and new technologies, fi rst in the Ice Age franchise and now in The Croods: The world is changing. The old rules are no longer valid. Adapt or die.

The Croods is a clever, slightly formulaic cartoon from the folks behind How to Train Your Dragon.

There’s a Homer Simpson-ish dad (voiced by Nicolas Cage) whose bossiness barely disguises his uselessness. There’s a ‘spunky’ teenagegirl heroine (Emma Stone) straining at the patriarchal leash, though she does become more generic once her warrior-woman credentials have been established (‘Girls are just as good as boys, and probably better’ is another of those messages we want kids to know). There’s a family – feral toddler, pudgy younger brother, crotchety grandma – and family val-

ues galore. There are visual marvels, especially once the dank Stone Age setting turns into a world of dandelions, tendrils and eye-popping colours. There are hungry monsters, funny jokes and slapstick set-pieces.

The fi lm can be viewed simply as a Hollywood cartoon. Does it work?

It does. Will kids love it? They will.

Is it scary? Not really, though some of the details are macabre (like our heroine Eep recalling the demise of her various caveman neighbours) and the hungry critters have big teeth. Is it funny? Surprisingly, yes – and, despite the title, crude humour isn’t allowed to take over (there isn’t a single fart joke). The slapstick is over-extended, and there’s probably too many of those moments where the music swells inspirationally – but The Croods, even in itself, wipes the floor with all four Ice Ages.

That’s not all, however – because the fi lm also speaks to us in post-debacle Cyprus in a way that goes beyond its cartoon ambitions. Maybe it’s pretentious to view it as a kind of unintended metaphor – but fi lms don’t exist in a vacuum, and any adult sitting in the K-Cineplex with his/her kids can’t fail to recognise our own situation in the story of the Croods, a Stone Age clan who live in a cave, nice and snug and protected from outside dangers, at least till their world literally collapses in an epoch-defi ning earthquake and they have to start anew. It’s not just their circumstances that change; they also have to change their mentality,

Americans who lose their jobs simply move to another part of America and start over (it’s the legacy of being a nation of immigrants)

specifically Papa Crood’s conservative insistence that “new” equals dangerous.

Enter Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an inventive young orphan who has everything the Croods lack: creativity, modernity, civilisation, above all “ideas”. Guy wears shoes and eats from a plate; he wears a belt, albeit a living belt (called Belt) who punctuates his warnings about the End of the World with a cheerful “dun dun duuuuunnnn!”. He also introduces the clan to concepts like jokes and leftovers, not to mention pets (“It’s an animal you don’t eat,” he explains; “We call those ‘children’,” replies Grandma). This may be the most unexpectedly touching aspect of The Croods, the notion of discovering the world for the first time – and the way the family blossom once they allow themselves to try something new. The feral baby speaks her fi rst words. The boy finds a dog, and even Grandma starts to reminisce: “I was in love once. He was a hunter, I was a gatherer…”

The fi lm is very American. Not in

the dismissive way people sometimes use those words, but in the specific sense that America, more than any other culture, stresses creativity and adaptability in the face of crisis.

Americans who lose their jobs simply move to another part of America and start over (it’s the legacy of being a nation of immigrants). Watching The Croods from our own vantage-point – not as wide-eyed children absorbing messages, but as adult chaperones trying to make sense of a world that’s been struck by a fiscal earthquake in the past month – it’s easy to get caught up in the story Guy tells the Croods (except Papa, who skulks in the background grumpily). It’s the story of a bold young tiger who wanders away from the stultifying safety of the cave, goes to the very edge of a forbidden cliff – then, having dared to take a risk and think outside the box, fl ies off into the sun. ‘Where did she fly to?’ ask the Crood kids, entranced. Tomorrow, replies Guy. She flew off to Tomorrow, a place of a thousand suns – “a place where things are better”. Let’s hope so.

filmsummaries Broken City Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg), a New York cop, is accused of having murdered a suspect in cold blood. Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe) considers Billy a hero but police chief Carl Fairbanks (Jeffrey Wright) isn’t so sure. Billy is exonerated, but forced to resign from the force.

Seven years later, Billy is working as a private detective when Mayor Hostetler calls him to a meeting. He needs someone to track his wife Cathleen (Catherine Zeta-Jones), whom he suspects of infidelity. Currently in the middle of a tight mayoral race with challenger Jack Valliant (Barry Pepper), Hostetler can’t afford for this story reaching the papers, so he offers the princely sum of $50,000 if Billy can get him what he wants. Unfortunately, things are not as they seem. Directed by Allen Hughes.

We broke this city geeky glasses and bizarrely unfl attering haircut, he plays Hostetler for low comedy, less a monster than a smug, power-corrupted blowhard.

“In my eyes, you’re a hero,” he tells Billy Taggart (that’s Wahlberg) in the prologue – and Crowe actually points at his eyes, then at Billy, as if channelling De Niro’s ‘I’m watching you’ gesture from Meet the Parents. Seven years later, hiring our hero to spy on his wife, he suddenly gets on a rant about faithless wives, and women in general. “You know, women call men ‘dogs’…” Significant pause. “You ever seen a bitch

Broken City is an enjoyable B-movie with lots of snappy backand-forth

M

ark Wahlberg is just doing his job. “I’m the guy doing his job,” he snarled in The Departed when someone challenged him to say who he was. “You must be the other guy”. Like Bruce Willis, Wahlberg has parlayed working-class gruffness into a movie-star persona – though he’s got more intensity than Willis, and a bit less humour. He’ll get beaten to a pulp in Broken City, come home looking like a piece of bloody meat, then either banter gruffl y with his girl (“I thought you liked bloody meat”) or just brush her off when she tries to tend to his wounds. “I got into a bit of a thing,” he’ll say, with the uninflected certitude of someone who knows it’s just part of the job.

Mark’s job in this case is a private eye – a profession that went out with Philip Marlowe (or at least J.J. Gittes), then again Broken City is enjoyably old-fashioned. This is totally a B-movie, and can only be enjoyed as such – but it’s a B-movie with lots of snappy back-and-forth, and even when it’s being verbose it’s quite amusing. Mark and his young female assistant (Alona Tal, an Israeli actress I’ll be looking out for in future) have long convoluted exchanges where the scriptwriter’s joy in thinking up these unlikely lines is almost audible, and when the candidates for Mayor of New York have a televised debate we stay on the debate for a good couple of minutes,

wallowing in the verbal thrust and parry.

Then there’s Russell Crowe as one of those candidates – actually the incumbent, crooked Mayor Hostetler, up against the gloriously-named Jack Valiant (Barry Pepper) who’s determined to expose the Mayor’s iniquities. Crowe isn’t quite where we expected 10 years ago, when he was giving one Oscarworthy performance after another, but he’s turned into a fabulous ham – and here, decked out in perma-tan,

Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with Nikki, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both their lives. Directed by David O. Russell. (Drama with comedy elements, 122 mins.)

Our rating:

This is not a very self-aware film.

It’s not a very smart film either, as you’ll see when super-incriminating documents turn up in the trash in a cardboard box in heat, Billy?”

This is good stuff, belligerent machismo with its own in-built irony – and of course Billy takes the job, following Mrs. Hostetler (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who’s fi rst seen promoting gay marriage (“I will love who I damn well choose!”) at a human rights fundraiser. It gets complicated, because she’s actually having it off with the gloriously-named Jack Valiant’s campaign manager – then again the man in question turns out to be gay, echoing Billy’s comment on the actors his actress girlfriend is hanging out with: those

guys “take that metrosexual shit a bit too far”. Sexual panic is a constant undercurrent, most obviously when Billy attends the premiere of his girlfriend’s “indie fi lm” and glares furiously at the fi lm’s explicit sex scenes; the sex isn’t real – but the shock is still enough to get him drinking again, after being on the wagon for seven years.

You expect Broken City to do something with that sub-plot (Billy belatedly realises he’s been a macho jerk and becomes a better, more sensitive man), but in fact there’s nothing: Billy swigs double whiskeys for the rest of the movie, and the girlfriend simply disappears.

This is not a very self-aware fi lm. It’s not a very smart fi lm either, as you’ll see when super-incriminating documents turn up in the trash in a cardboard box (never mind shredding the documents, the villains didn’t even seal the box!). Yet I secretly enjoyed its daft, breathless twists and corridors-of-power feeling, all the compromised cops and venal politicians trying to checkmate each other while talking high-mindedly of a “broken city”. Billy tries to keep up, though admits at one point that he’d rather be home watching the Knicks. “What are you, stupid or Catholic?” snaps CZJ, and he’s probably both. A grainy old video comes back to haunt him, blackmail is followed by counter-blackmail, Italian opera is mentioned (then used to cover up the sounds of torture), and those double Jamesons keep on flowing. And Mark Wahlberg? He’s just doing his job.

Oz the Great and Powerful Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a travelling circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he’s hit the jackpot: fame and fortune are his for the taking.

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 powerful Oz. Also starring Zach Braff. Directed by Sam Raimi. In 3D.

A new event hopes to appeal as a networking forum and interesting afternoon out with the kids. ALIX NORMAN takes a closer look

I

had intended to start with the adage about crisis and opportunity. But having recently learnt – from a Sinologist no less – that we in the West have been misinterpreting the Oriental writing on the wall for years, I shall instead leap straight to the opportunity – after all, we’ve had more than enough crisis to last es! It’s It s certainly several lifetimes! e living in intertrue that we’re esting times and while some e wayside, others may fall by the are snatching at the reins of life. a Beau who, Witness Nicola ent events, in light of recent portunities is creating opportunities for businesses around the island with the Living in Paphos Expo. orld faLike the world mous Olympia Expo, al faor – a personal vourite – The Ideal Home Show, Nicola is bringing e the large scale hese waexhibition to these ters. Opening on May n Paphos 1, the Living in eld in the Expo is to be held nue, and La Fontaine venue, ndreds of will enable hundreds companies to advertise their services..

ing time. With the exhibition open every Wednesday, custom will no doubt be brisk; companies all over Cyprus are signing up for a stall, and at €25 for the May 1 event (and €20 thereafter) it’s a marketing platform that’s affordable to all, be it restaurateur, accountant or crafter.

“All people have to do to take a stand is visit the site, pay online to reser reserve their space, and turn up at 1pm on the day to set up,” u says Nicola. Providi Providing companies with a sim simple and effective way wa to promote their business, the Exp Expo has also te teamed up with tthe Cyprus Business Network to provide monthly s seminars on im improving perform formance. On the secon second Wednesday of each eac month, experts will lecture on a varie variety of subjects, from ta tax planning to network networking to company ef efficiency. And if that’s not enough to pique your interest, Eventbri Eventbrite are also offering a unique ‘speed networki networking’ event: “In Cyprus it it’s often hard for the sm small business owner to ac access the right people; unl unless you’re related to som someone high up it can be c challenging to promote w what you do,” Nicola e explains. “So we’ve crea created an event

Living in Paphos in which every business owner has 90 seconds to pitch their services: you exchange cards, outline your purpose and move on.”

Brilliant but what if you’re just looking for a fun day out with the kids? The Expo has it covered: “There are endless attractions,” says Nicola. “Compered by renowned entertainer Ricky Gordon and hosted by Britain’s Got Talent’s Pippa Langhorne, in conjunction with our mascot, Gerry the Giraffe, the Expo will include pony rides, bouncy castles, donkeys, face painting, balloon modelling and much more.” And just in case the youthful excitements get a bit too overwhelming, Bright Stars Nursery will be on hand with its free crèche service.

“Parents can leave their kids to

arts and crafts, games and the Disney movie corner, and pop off to have a coffee with friends, or a look round the stalls,” says Nicola. And with everything from cosmetic lines to jewellery, tour agents to charities, adults will defi nitely want to take a leisurely look at the stalls. There’s even the island’s fi rst FLABéLOS machine on show – and if you’re as intrigued by the name as I am, you’ll just have to pop along and check out its wondrous claims!

But the Expo doesn’t end there: at 7pm the dinner and floor show begins. The four course meal will be accompanied by a variety of fabulous acts: there’s Pat the Pirate, a Top Hat Magic mind-reading show, and any number of tribute acts. “We’re rotating between

Gareth Emery back on track with gig in Nicosia British trance star Gareth Emery will be gracing the decks of Pavilion Hall this Tuesday with support from Deep Impact, Solo and a closing set by Haris C. After delivering some standout sets at Guaba last summer, Emery is back in Cyprus to do what he does best: pack the house and leave the crowd screaming for an encore. As a DJ, he defies the notion of sticking with one genre and instead plays multiple styles of music in each of his sets, blending trance, house, electro and techno.

Voted no.7 DJ in the world by the famous DJ Mag Poll in 2010, Emery is the UK’s highest ranked DJ and one of the youngest DJs ever to crack the top ten. Three years ago, he released his debut artist album on his own label, Garuda, to stunning reactions from fans and critics alike.

He’s spent record-breaking stints at the top of Beatport’s Trance sales chart and he’s also celebrated 100 episodes and four years of his award-winning podcast, collaborated with Above & Beyond for the crossover international radio hit ‘On A Good Day (Metropolis)’ - whilst also finding time to play 130 shows, selling out clubs and rocking festivals in

Enjoy the view for a reasonable cost Segafredo, Larnaca In the heart of the bustling Phinikoudes promenade are countless options for tourists and locals to sit down and relax over a coffee or a bite to eat. As the weather gets better and the days get longer, outdoor seating as well as a beach view are a must. For a place that offers all this and more, Segafredo is a must-visit café for the approaching season.

Situated beside the Sun Hall Hotel near the start of the Phinikoudes, Segafredo is a café that offers superb quality Italian coffee and top class food at extremely reasonable prices to suit the current climate. The food on offer is worth a try; convenient options like sandwiches and wraps are made to perfection while more elaborate dishes are made to serve everybody’s needs.

In terms of seating, with hot weather approaching there is likely to be a rush to take the outside places.

That is unless you prefer more comfortable interior and broader space; the spaces inside are preferred by those who would like to have a more private chat, an out-ofoffice work meeting or even for students to do some studying or finish off some projects.

One of the most alluring aspects of Segafredo is the friendliness and efficiency of the staff who are always attentive and willing to lend their advice if you are stuck on what to order.

It is strongly advised, if you are going down for a coffee on weekends during the day, to arrive before 12 noon in order to find somewhere comfortable to sit. Weekdays also attract a healthy crowd throughout the day but seating is usually available.

FILM The Rialto Theatre in Limassol is playing its part in helping those affected by the current economic climate.

Within the framework of its social corporate responsibility and also aiming at facilitating access to significant cultural events, the Rialto has introduced reduced ticket prices for vulnerable social groups, such as the

Looking for a way out unemployed.

Upon presenting an ID card along with the relevant confirmation of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the interested party is able to obtain – free of charge – the Theatre’s Supporter’s Card valid for six months, in order to be then entitled to the reduced prices for all the performances taking place at the Theatre.

At the same time, the theatre continues to offer its own performances, and those being also hosted, at very low entrance ticket costs. On May 8, Rialto Theatre in co-operation with the Limassol Co-operative Savings Bank, is organising a screening of The Angels’ Share, aiming to enhance the Social Market of Limassol Municipality. The community market is playing an increasingly important role in the town as more and more crisis-stricken families fall under the poverty line. It collects donated dried and canned food, household items and clothes and prepares them into packages to be given to families in need.

Once again Cypriot artist Toula Liasi pays tribute to the enclaved Greeks from the village of Ayia Triada in her latest exhibition.

Going on display from tomorrow until May 11 at the Melina Merkouri Hall, the exhibition entitled Rusted Evidence aims to bring to light the difficult life the enclaved people of Ayia Triada lead. While Liasi lives and works in The Hague, her inspirations derive from the occupied village, where her parents remain.

The fact that she lives in a free country like the Netherlands helps her to make her contrasts more noticeable and more unbearable. The remote Karpas peninsular has been under Turkish occupation since Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974. Since then the number of Greeks living in Ayia Triada has dwindled to around 100, mainly elderly people who, despite daily pressure from the Turkish occupation regime and Turkish settlers dumped on Linopetra Corner Car boot sale on Saturdays, 8am-2pm.

A

pril and summer are upon us, a time for shorter sleeves, onshow ankles and spring palettes. Don’t let that stop you wearing the latest shades altogether. Simply update your makeup bag with the colour to be seen in this season: peach.

“It’s a big trend this spring and a great way to freshen up your look and add a pop of colour to the face,” explains Benefit’s head make-up artist, Lisa Potter-Dixon. “Plus, peach is just that bit cooler than last season’s pink.”

Indeed, peach was seen all over the spring/summer 13 catwalks.

New Andy Warhol exhibit features artist as subject More than 30 years ago in the south of France, the camera switched its focus to the celebrity-obsessed artist Andy Warhol, who became the reluctant subject of a photo study that was then relegated to a storage cabinet fi led under ‘W’.

Sometime last year, a friend of photographer Steve Wood happened upon the trove of 35mm slides and persuaded Wood that the “lost” images deserved their Warhol-allotted 15 minutes of fame.

The resulting exhibition, Lost Then Found, opens on May 3 for 10 days in New York, and features unusual shots such as Warhol posing with a giant sunflower and backpack, or shown winking, with eyes closed and in close-up head shots.

April 28, 2013 • SUNDAY MAIL

“These photographs reveal a different Warhol than most of us have ever witnessed,” said Christopher Bollen, editor of Interview magazine, which Warhol founded in 1969 and which is supporting the exhibition.

“It’s a testament to the photographer and an opportunity to re-assess his bearing as one of the most influential artists of the last century,” Bollen said.

The origins of the 1981 Deauville shoot were just as unlikely as its rediscovery.

Warhol and Wood, a British Daily Express newspaper veteran of both war front lines and fashion shows, met through a mutual acquaintance - New York restaurateur Elaine Kaufman, proprietress of the celebrity haunt Elaine’s.

Both photographer and

subject overcame initial reluctance, with Wood finding the light that had inspired the Impressionist painters a century earlier perfect for the private, wan Warhol, organisers of the exhibit said.

The Pittsburgh-based Andy Warhol Foundation, which oversees the late artist’s canon, is also a partner on the exhibition.

Warhol, who died in 1987 at age 58, was known for pop art paintings of iconic items such as a Campbell’s soup can and eye-catching portraits of celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe, Mick Jagger and Elvis Presley. He also dabbled in music and film making and his studio, the Factory, was home base for a generation of New York celebrities and hipsters.

22 FASHION Skirt and shirt from House of Holland

It’s a spring clash-up Models backstage at Marni’s ss catwalk show

Forget matchy matchy and start mix and mis-matching.

When it comes to pairing your prints this season anything really does go, says KAREN DACRE

T

he summer of 2012 belonged to the jazzy trouser but as the balmy months of 2013 approach, this year our thoughts turn to the full-body, no-holds-barred jazzy ensemble. One look at the prints at work on this page should be ample evidence of this trend’s existence.

Not convinced of its charms? You will be - I mean, look at how quickly you came around to the idea of printed trousers. After sniggering or - if you’re anything like my boyfriend, a man who gets all his best comedy material through watching me pull random items of clothing out of the wardrobe - yelping with glee at the sight of a pair of silk pyjama pants, last summer saw even the most fraidy cat fashion folk get on board with the technicoloured trouser trend.

As a result, the printed trouser found its status elevated from butt of jokes to stand-out item of the season. They even made an appearance in the UK Parliament - full credit to Stella Creasy MP for that.

This summer, then, the success of full-on print seems inevitable. In fact, it is the next logical step - a sort of grade five for print wearers.

But don’t think this means you can

just fl ing on a shirt that boasts a matching motif to your favourite printed pants before heading for the door. This season’s print trends are more hardcore than that. Instead you must seek out an opposing yet equally vivacious print to that of your favourite printed trousers - and then you must wear them both at once.

The rules, my friends, are that there are none. Seek out your favourite printed pieces and go crazy The rules, my friends, are that there are none. Seek out your favourite printed pieces and go crazy. And not just with trousers and blouses but with skirts, sweaters and jackets.

On the catwalk, Italian print baroness Consuelo Castiglioni teamed geometric and oversized check prints with breezy floral and block print accessories in her latest collection for Marni. Then Henry Holland - a renowned lover of print mash-ups - teamed neon tie-dye skirts with Oxford-style paint splashed shirts and polka-dot print jeans with flo-

ral sequin sweaters ahead of his last ast and spring/summer House of Holland show. int To become a master of print ith clashing, I suggest starting with h a a solid foundation - namely with kirt pair of trousers or a printed skirt s. J compatible with a host of prints.

Crew are experts when it comes to ere printed cigarette trousers - try there fi rst if you’re happy to splash a bit of cash on a pair, otherwise look to ffer ASOS and Zara, both of which offer ses a strong selection of printed blouses and blazers this spring. ose Another good tip is to choose de. an item in a block or neutral shade. asA classic navy blazer in soft masear culine shape will remove the fear factor from a detailed trouser and sic blouse combination, while a classic white T-shirt will take the edge off ing a mismatching suit for spellbinding ell, effect. Who’s laughing now? Well, e. aside from my boyfriend of course.

Print power: Tshirt and metallic trousers from J Crew. Far right: ladybird blouse and trousers from Jaeger

Shoppers to try on items virtually A “magic mirror” is set to revolutionise online shopping by allowing consumers to try on clothes virtually using a personal avatar, developers have said.

Engineers have created a prototype which enables users to form computer-generated representations of themselves to gain an impression of how items would look when worn.

Shoppers could then browse websites with the model to fi nd garments that fit correctly or complement their skin tone.

Developers believe the technology could benefit both customers and retailers by reducing the number of returns on clothes bought online.

The prototype works with a camera which enables the avatar to mimic a shopper’s movements when standing in front of a computer screen.

This allows the consumer to examine an item from all sides and decide if it fits correctly.

Developers hope the concept - dubbed the Magic Mirror - will eradicate problems associated with sizing which can differ significantly from one brand to another.

The prototype avatars - from technology firm Intel - are created by inputting a series of measurements and would allow users to adjust hair colour and skin tone.

Engineers envisage shoppers taking their models from shop to shop as they browse the internet.

An Intel spokesman said: “This is likely to save money for both consumers and retailers.

“It should mean fewer products are shipped to customers and then returned.

“Retailers will be able to manage their inventory better while it could save on trips to the post office when items don’t fit.”

Developers were unable to give any idea when the avatar would be brought out.

Plantoftheweek

Although 20 million people practise yoga many drop out each year reports NATASHA BAKER

BY ALEXANDER MCCOWAN

Poisonous plant used by ancient herders to ward off evil spells Name: Felonswort (Solanum dulcamara) Otherwise known as: Woody Nightshade Habitat: A poisonous, climbing perennial sub-shrub member of the Solanaceae, with fleshy, dark green stems containing spear-shaped leaves with classical violet-coloured flowers containing a yellow anther arranged in long, stalked terminals growing from the axils that mature into the characteristic bright scarlet ovoid fruits. Felonswort is found in moist woodland and waste areas in Europe. The plant is not as poisonous as its close relative Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna), but the berries can prove fatal if consumed by children.

What does it do: It was an early treatment for whitlows, known in medieval times as felons. Gerard writes ‘…the berries, applied to the joints of the fingers that are troubled by felons hath been found by divers country folk who are most troubled by the affliction, to be very successful for curing the same’. Theophrastus notes that ‘the juice of the berries

New app finds upcoming yoga classes wherever you are

F

rom hatha to vinyasa and everything in between, a new app helps yoga lovers fi nd upcoming classes nearby.

Om Finder, an iPhone app, detects a user’s location and shows yoga classes happening at studios around them, including time and directions.

“The vision was to get more people on planet earth doing yoga,” said Nancy Richardson, vice president of digital and brand strategy at Vancouver-based yoga apparel company Lululemon.

Classes can be found at nearly 7,000 studios in 63 countries worldwide and can be fi ltered by time and type, including hatha, power flow, vinyasa and hot yoga.

“It offers lots of different options to try different classes, types of yoga, and experience different teachers,” Richardson said.

Yogis can also keep up with the schedules of their favourite instructors. The app has over 30,000 instructor profi les, which include a schedule of their upcoming classes.

According to Rachel Acheson, vice president of brand and community at Lululemon, the turnover for yoga is high. Although there are approximately 20 million people practising yoga, about 20 per cent drop out every year.

“The new people to yoga every

year is substantial,” said Acheson.

“Finding your teacher is one of the biggest things that drives commitment to the practice.”

Users can invite friends to join in on class by sending a text, tweet, email or Facebook message through the app, and keep track of the classes they’re headed to.

It is the first digital experience that the company has developed in-house, and is part of Lululemon’s push towards creating hyperlocal experiences for consumers The app launched last Thursday and by Saturday had been downloaded over 18,000 times. It secured the top spot in the Health and Fitness category on Apple’s App Store in Canada, and the third spot in the category in the US. It is the fi rst digital experience that the company has developed in-house, and is part of Lululemon’s push towards creating hyper-local experiences for consumers.

“That connection with our guests

and studio partners is happening on a local level,” Richardson said. “Our digital strategy is people-fi rst. Our goal is to build authentic relationships with communities.”

Although users can add a class to their schedule, which syncs with the calendar app, it is not yet possible to book or pay for a class within the app.

“We’re waiting to see what guests want, and we’re not confident they’re going to want to book,” Richardson responded, adding that the company is actively monitoring feedback.

The company will continue to monitor demand for other platforms, but the company’s customers are predominantly iPhone users, according to Richardson.

A similar app called Mindbody Yoga is available for iPhone, created

by Mindbody, the company that supplies the data about classes, studios and instructors used in Om Finder.

It allows users to book and pay for classes if the studio supports that capability. It does not, however, provide the social features found in Om Finder, or information about instore classes.

Another app called GoRecess, available on the web, allows users in the United States to fi nd and book fitness classes in their cities, including yoga, strength-training, dance martial arts and boot camp classes.

is good for those that have fallen from high places, and have thereby been bruised, for it will dissolve the congealed blood and heal the hurt places’. Linnaeus, who was at first skeptical regarding the plant’s efficacy, eventually spoke of it in the highest terms as a cure for rheumatism. Elizabethan physicians used it to treat scrofula and skin tumours.

In the dark ages herders would hang wreaths of Felonswort around the necks of their animals to ward off evil spells and diseases.

The plant contains saponin glycosides such as Dulcamarin and the alkaloid Solanine; this renders it stimulant, antifungal, anti-rheumatic, expectorant, diuretic and alterative.

It is currently employed by herbalists and homeopaths to treat bronchitis, whooping cough, psoriasis, chronic eczema, gout, warts and topical tumours.

Recent research indicates that the constituents of Felonswort can be used to make compound steroids.

PAPERBACKS

By William Leith Sila’s Fortune

By Fabrice Humbert

A swanky restaurant in the middle of Paris. The guests: an American couple with their son, a Russian couple and two young French guys. The American man is stuffing his face. The boy wanders away from the table. The waiter retrieves him and takes him back.

The American stands up. He is full of fury. He smashes the waiter in the face, breaking his nose. The waiter disappears. Everything goes back to normal. Or, rather, not normal.

Humbert tells us about the lives of all these people. How the waiter, an African, stowed away on a cargo ship. How the Russian became an oligarch. The American guy’s youthful injury. Great storytelling.

Heft

By Liz Moore

Arthur Opp is fat.

More than that - he’s morbidly obese.

He weighs 550lb and lives alone in a Brooklyn townhouse. He can’t even get up the stairs. Ever since his academic career ended, after he fell in love with one of his students, he’s locked himself away, eating gross quantities of comfort food.

He’s pretty much killing himself, you think. Then he gets a call from the woman he fell in love with all that time ago. The author, Liz Moore, takes us into Arthur’s world brilliantly - she exposes his shame and self-hatred, his struggle to walk, the clutter and filth he lives in. And now he wants to get going again. But he’s too fat to clean his house.

Merckx

By William Fotheringham

Before Bradley Wiggins there was Lance Armstrong. Before Armstrong there was Eddy Merckx - possibly the greatest ever competitive cyclist. Competitive being the key word. Merckx, a Belgian, raced in a new way - he relentlessly attacked the opposition and knew exactly what to do to tire the other cyclists. He was a true obsessive. His wife, Claudine, worried about his silences.

Was he grumpy? In fact, he was thinking about the last race, and the next race. He was at his peak in the late Sixties and early Seventies. His body began to lose its power when he was about 30. There was a famous doping scandal. He might have been set up.

Young, gifted and multicultural Last week’s party at the British Council’s offices in London for Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists 4 was so mobbed that many would-be celebrants, despite being invited, however distinguished, weren’t even allowed in. Now, a selection of these writers, all under 40 and nearly all previously very little known, are on an ambitious tour of launches around the UK. Then they’re off to market in the States… they could almost be rock stars, rather than writers whose books have so far mostly sold precious few copies.

This once-in-a-decade nomination of 20 promising novelists still trades on the success of its first incarnation, back in 1983, under the editorship of the savvy cultural entrepreneur Bill Buford, who created Granta as a literary force from the remnants of a defunct Cambridge student journal.

That first list still looks remarkably authoritative in retrospect, containing such names as Martin Amis, William Boyd, Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Pat Barker, Ian Mc-Ewan and Graham Swift - and only a few who have failed to emerge as promised (Buchi Emecheta, Ursula Bentley).

But it does need to be remembered that putting it together was no great sorcery, for most of these writers had by this time already published substantially and made their names - Amis had produced his fi rst four novels, McEwan two novels and two collections of short stories, for example.

Lots of the list was self-selecting.

Much the same could be said of the 1993 and 2003 versions. This year’s list is different. The only re-

As Granta announces its Best of Young British Novelists 4, DAVID SEXTON reports on a set of writers who have moved on from post-colonialism and are focusing instead on migrant workers ally well-known name it contains is that of Zadie Smith, who was also listed 10 years ago. For the first time, there are more women than men - and there is an unprecedented variety of backgrounds too. “There are three writers with African backgrounds; one who was born in China and began only recently to write in English; another brought up on her parents’ sugar-cane farm in New South Wales; one from Pakistan, another from Bangladesh, a third a second-generation Indian from Derbyshire,” notes current Granta editor John Freeman in his introduction to the 395-page new issue of the magazine presenting new work by each of these writers.

The anthology that has resulted is highly readable and it gives a striking insight into a new generation of novelists. But, almost entirely, this is fiction that is novel in its subject matter more than in its form. The topic that leaps out is no longer post-colonialism in its by now familiar forms but quite specifically the harsh experience of the migrant worker.

In Anwar Gets Everything, Tahmima Anam gives a vivid first-person account of the dreadful and dangerous working conditions of Bengali labourers building skyscrapers in Dubai.

In Europa, one of the best pieces here, David Szalay (Jewish, Hungarian, born in Canada) describes two Hungarian men bringing a 19year-old girl on an easyJet fl ight to London to work as a callgirl in West End hotels; the minder falls for his charge.

In Interim Zone, Xiaolu Guo portrays the life of a refugee, learning French and reading Vasily Grossman’s Life and Fate in a camp in Lausanne, while he comes to terms with exile from vals, SunChina. In Arrivals, es a grimjeev Sahota gives icture of ly convincing picture nts from illegal immigrants d, again India in Sheffield, al buildworking as casual ing labourers, living in mazed by poverty and amazed the snow.

Other storiess take us into unfamil-iar societies.

In Driver by Taiye Selasi, a chauffeur in Accra struggles to understand the Westernised family of hiss y boss; in Filsan by d, Nadifa Mohamed, an a Somali woman working as a military secretary in

Hargeisa finds herself accidentally involved in a shooting.

There’s a funny, light-hearted story by Naomi Alderman about the Prophet Elijah suddenly coming, in his fiery chariot, to stay with an ordinary Jewish family in Hendon, causing upset - and in Tomorrow, Joanna Kavenna has written a sour story about failing to get on to the property ladder and ending up in a council bedsit on Victoria Park.

Ned Beauman writes about a young, gay Chinese drug-dealer having an affair with an American management consultant; Kamila Shamsie tackles Indian troops in the trenches of WWI. Zadie Smith’s contribution is a highly polished story about the awkward friendship between a little white boy and a black girl in Greenwich g in the 60s. Ross Raisin Village t anthology with a rounds off the Ballardian scene of eco-apocalypse in an unnamed town destroyed by a flood, straight dr after a drought.

All of this fiction is enteran much of it reports taining and unfamilia territory but little on unfamiliar offers any formal innovation.

Criticisi Criticising his own work, JM Coetzee said: “Nowh where do you get a fe feeling of a writer d deforming his med dium in order to say w what has never been said before, which is to me the mark of great writing.”

That tough verdict is much truer of this sampling of younger no novelists than it is of his work.

Everything’s come up Rosie for genetics worker

By David Sexton Graeme Simsion is a 56-year-old Australian IT consultant who began writing The Rosie Project as an assignment on a screenwriting course. He turned it into a novel in just a month and sold it to a local publisher who sent out copies in advance of the Frankfurt Book Fair last year, where publishers from around the world snapped it up.

The Rosie Project has a simple pitch.

Its hero and narrator, Don Tillman, is a 39-year-old Aussie geneticist, tall, intelligent and fit but pretty far along the

Asperger’s spectrum, obsessed with routines, without any sense of what other people are feeling and only the most rudimentary grasp of his own emotions.

Don has never had a girlfriend, which he perceives as a problem. So he launches The Wife Project. To fi nd the right woman he devises an extensive questionnaire leading ideaal to the perfect partner, or a manageable shortlist of candidates.

So Don thinks. The Wife Project doesn’t prosper, you won’t be surprised to hear. But Don does meet twentysomething Rosie. She’s lovely, if he only could see it.

So here’s a classic romcom plot: the right one’s right there but our hero is blind to it.

Rosie is trying to identify her biological father, whom she has never known. As a geneticist, Don is in the perfect position to help. The Rosie Project is a swift, amusing read, Don’s mixture of absolute directness and emotional incomprehension providing lots of laughs.

So there we have it. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time crossed with a standard romcom plot. It’s odd that nobody thought of raising this hybrid before.

25 Clark Gable and Ava Gardner in Mogambo

Horoscope

BY SALLY BROMPTON

ARIES Like everyone you have responsibilities and like everyone you sometimes wonder what it would be like to leave them behind. That thought will pass through your mind this week March 21 - April 20 but if you’re wise you won’t take it seriously. The way to lessen responsibilities is to fulfil them.

Small Wars, Far Away Places: The Genesis of the Modern World, 1945-65

TAURUS

By Michael Burleigh

Don’t expect relationships to run smoothly this week – whatever you do and whatever you say, someone is sure to take offence. With that in mind, don’t bother about being nice to people who may not deserve it – give as good as you get. However, because both the Sun in your sign and April 21 - May 21 feisty Mars are opposing Saturn, planet of limitation, this is a great time for getting negative feelings off your chest.

GEMINI You will be under no illusions about what needs to be done this week. Hopefully, you will also realise there are no shortcuts, that whatever you are working on demands your May 22 - June 21 full and undivided attention and your very best efforts. The rewards could be considerable.

Collapsing empires and the Cold War The date is Christmas 1952; the place Government House in Nairobi, Kenya. The British governor is throwing a party. The guests include the Hollywood stars Clark Gable, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, who are in Africa to fi lm the movie Mogambo, and to round off a glittering evening Gardner’s husband Frank Sinatra sings White Christmas. A casual observer might be forgiven for thinking that all is well in Kenya, the land of pink gins on the verandah as the African sun goes down. And yet, out in the highlands, Mau Mau fighters and British colonial troops are fighting a savage little war.

A few weeks earlier, after the Mau Mau had killed a white couple on their farm, angry white settlers had besieged Government House.

Glimpsing the visiting Sultan of Zanzibar on the balcony, one woman screamed: “There, there, they’ve given the house over to the fuck-

The birth of the new world order makes for fascinating reading says DOMINIC SANDBROOK ing niggers, the bloody bastards!”

In Britain the 1950s and 1960s are often thought of as lazy, laid-back, peaceful decades. But as Michael Burleigh’s terrific new book points out, this was the age of the retreat from empire and the onset of the Cold War. Across much of the globe, the Second World War had broken the back of the old colonial empires.

What followed, though, was a brutal and bloody contest for control.

In Malaya, British conscripts kept scorecards of communist casualties, with a hundred kills logged as a “century”. In Algeria young women bombers brought carnage to European-owned restaurants and cafés. In the Congo, Belgian officers looked on calmly as the Left-

wing nationalist Patrice Lumumba was tortured, shot and dissolved in acid. And in Kenyan concentration camps, writes Burleigh, inmates were “dehumanised and randomly brutalised (or just murdered) by men over whom the colony’s authorities exercised no control whatsoever”.

As Burleigh sees it, this was a pivotal moment in recent world history. It broke the illusion of European superiority, brought dozens of new nations into existence and confirmed the transfer of power from London and Paris to Washington DC, the “World Capital on the Potomac”.

Perhaps above all, Burleigh’s caustic narrative is a reminder of the false allure of political utopianism and the perils of imperial hu-

bris. In newly independent Algeria, for example, the promise of freedom soon curdled into repression, with “dogmatism and violence” becoming the norm.

And in Washington, where US politicians watched the collapse of European empires with a combination of anxiety and excitement, few lessons were learned.

The book ends on a grim note, with the Americans throwing men and money into Vietnam. “Goddamn it, George, you and Fulbright and all you history teachers,” President Lyndon Johnson told Senator George McGovern when McGovern warned him not to get involved. “I haven’t got time to fuck around with history. I’ve got boys on the line. I can’t be worried about history when there are boys out there who might die before morning.” Alas for Johnson and all those American boys, history had a sting in the tail.

Kuwaiti wins Arabic book prize for tale of foreign workers Kuwaiti author Saud Alsanousi has won the 2013 International Prize for Arabic Fiction for his portrayal of the lives of foreign workers in Gulf countries in The Bamboo Stalk.

The 31-year-old Alsanousi became the youngest winner in the $50,000-prize’s six-year history for the story seen through the eyes of Issa, the son of a Kuwaiti father and a Filipina mother.

“All the judges agreed on the superior quality of this novel, both artistically and also in terms of its

April 28, 2013 • SUNDAY MAIL

social and humanitarian content,” the panel’s chair Egyptian writer Galal Amin said.

On returning to his father’s homeland as an adult, Issa fi nds himself in a difficult position.

Rather than the mythical country his mother has described to him, he discovers he is caught between the natural, biological ties he shares with his father’s family and the prejudices of a traditional society, which views a child of Kuwaiti-Filipina heritage as socially

unacceptable.

Alsanousi beat five other fi nalists for the prize. Each fi nalist, including the winner, will receive $10,000.

The other fi nalists were Iraqi Sinan Antoon for Hail Mary, Tunisian Houcine El Oued for His Excellency the Minister, Lebanese author Jana Elhassan for Me, She and the Other Women, Saudi Mohammed Hasan Alwan for The Beaver and Egyptian Ibrahim Issa for Our Master.

CANCER You may find it intensely annoying that just as you finish something you’ve been working on for weeks a colleague decides it should be done a different way. You could say something pointed but it won’t do much good. Instead, bite June 22 - July 22 your tongue and start all over again.

LEO You can take great strides in your work and career this week.

Not only is the Sun, your ruler, focussing on your social and professional reputation but it makes an excellent aspect to Pluto, planet of power, so employers and other Very July 23 - Aug 23 Important People will be on your side.

VIRGO

Aug 24 - Sep 23

Whatever is going wrong in your life may seem important but only because you are focussing on it to the exclusion of all else. Life is full of ups and downs: you can’t expect everything to run smoothly. However, the down phase will end quicker if you look as if you expect it to.

LIBRA

Sept 24 -Oct 23

The pressure will be on this week but nothing you cannot handle so don’t worry that you won’t be up to the job. On the contrary, you will make such a success of what you are doing that you’ll be showered with praise, even by those who have openly doubted your abilities.

SCORPIO There seem to be a lot of changes going on around you at the moment and, to say the least, some are a bit worrying.

But the planets indicate that no matter how great the upOct 24 - Nov 22 heavals, you have nothing to fear and much to look forward to. It’s time to let go of the past.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 23 - Dec 21

Don’t get bogged down in details just because no one else is willing to do the chores. You’ve done more than your share and if a project fails it will be because others didn’t pull their weight. Spend some time alone this week: your energy levels will need restoring.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 - Jan 20

Romantically and creatively the sky is the limit. Pluto in your sign will give you supreme self-confidence, to the extent that you truly believe that anything is possible. At other times that kind of attitude might lead to disaster but now it will lead only to success, and plenty of it.

AQUARIUS

Jan 21 - Feb 19

Something pretty dramatic will happen this week - either to you directly or to others in a way that affects you as well.

There’ll be good news and bad news but the really good news is that if you keep your wits about you even the bad news can be turned in your favour.

PISCES Your beliefs and opinions will come under fire this week and you’ll have to fight quite hard to protect them – assuming, of course, that they’re worth protecting. If you’re still Feb 20 - March 20 promoting ideas that went out of fashion some years ago it might be time to bring yourself up to date.

28 Big band: Barrie (centre, back)

A MINUTE WITH...

Barrie Rowe Founder of the big band sound Echoes of Swing who will be on the island in May for a series of concerts Where do you live?

I have a place in Cyprus and, like many other people, really love my time there. The place I call home is on an island in the middle of the Thames, outside London

Best childhood memory?

Sea Fishing

Most frequented restaurant and absolute favourite dish?

Italian at Meicos. The Thames Valley is full of the new breed of ‘gastropubs’ owned by so-called celebrities; I’m not a great fan of those.

What food would you really turn your nose up to?

Their ages range from 25 to 70 and, for me, they must have both that essential musical quality and also, the equally important ability to ‘fit’ with the group of 15 other musicians and two singers.

I think I’d really turn my nose up at Mongolian.

What did you have for breakfast?

As I write this on my way back to UK, I’ve just refused an in-fl ight ‘breakfast box’, only one degree better than a leather airline omelette. When you read this, my Sunday breakfast will be my favourite eggs and bacon

Would you class yourself as a day or night nig person? What’s your ideal day/night?

Day perso person. My idea of the perfect night/day out is a Big Band Event… there is SO S much music to choose from. For our tour of Cyprus in May, we’ve chosen cho works from The Great American Songbook, which lists the best, most important and influential American popular songs of the 20th century, p principally from Broadway and musical musi theatre, together with Hollywo Hollywood musical fi lms from the 1920s to 1960.

What is always in your fridge?

Ham and cheese

Some like it hot: Marilyn Monroe in the classic film

Best bo book ever read: Flashm Flashman!

What I liked most about it was the sheer adventure.

Ther were in fact 12 Flashman There nove novels as written by George MacD MacDonald Fraser (1925–2008).

Fra Fraser gave Flashman a life lifespan from 1822 to 1915, a pe period full of swashbuckling e events and international ex-

N I W Answer: ........................... .................

COMPETITION

............................................................ ..........................................................

Favourite film of all?

Some like it hot, an American romantic comedy released in 1959. It was directed by the famous Billy Wilder and had a fantastic cast headed by the legendary Marilyn Monroe with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and George Raft. A real old classic!

Favourite holiday destination?

Goa, India’s smallest state, on the West coast. It’s famous for world heritage architecture, places of worship – it was formerly a Portuguese colony – and fabulous beaches. What I most like is you can still fi nd isolated, unspoilt places to enjoy.

I have it now… my hideaway island retreat on the Thames. I don’t envisage moving!

If you could pick anyone at all (alive or dead) to go out for the evening with, who would it be?

Jack Sheldon (born 1931), an American West Coast jazz trumpeter. He developed a warm, dark sound used to excellent effect on fi lm soundtracks such as his solo on The Shadow of your Smile from the 1965 fi lm The Sandpiper. He’s the complete musician and orator.

Big Band players! Recently I’ve been listening to recordings submitted by professional musicians who’ve applied to be in this year’s Cyprus tour.

By Preston Wilder

Lawrence of Arabia (Mega, 21.50) It’s Good Friday, and a very good Friday for fans of director David Lean, studies of eccentric masculinity and intelligent epics in general. Lean’s two Oscars came for The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia - and they’re both showing on Mega today, with the caveats that (a) they’re bound to be broken up with ads and trailers, and (b) they’re bound to start late, assuming they don’t get replaced with something else at the last moment. Caveats aside, we can’t ignore Lawrence - a great film but an oddly perverse one, a lavish epic with an enigmatic hero, a sharply intelligent biography that nonetheless makes no claim to understand its hero. He’s T.E. Lawrence, a Briton

fighting with the Arabs during WW1 - and he’s played

by Peter O’Toole at his most charismatic, Lean adding his own stamp to the proceedings with famous details like the rider appearing, mirage-like, out of the desert. A classic, albeit best experienced without the ads and trailers. Winner of seven Oscars in 1962.

Chicken With Plums (Novacinema1, 22.00) It’s a mystery why this film is so chirpy when the story it tells is so sad. Mathieu Amalric is a famous musician, Maria de Medeiros (in a very thankless role) the nagging wife who loves him but has never been loved in return. She breaks his beloved violin during an argu-

Chicken with Plums

ment, so he decides to lie down and wait for death to take him; this takes about a week, during which we get flashbacks to his (mostly frustrating) life and lots of cartoonish, magical-realist tricks, from a broad slapstick glimpse of white-trash America to an animated riff on ‘Appointment in Samarra’. Some of it is imaginative, even funny - yet the underlying plot is so grim that the tricks feel like evasion techniques trying to sweeten the pill, and the guaranteed-tearjerker climax (featuring a girl called Irane who was always our hero’s great love, her memory haunting his exile) ends up feeling like just another trick. Tonally shaky and a bit misjudged; still among the more acclaimed European films of its year. In French. Made in 2011.

By Preston Wilder

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (LTV, 21.00) I don’t. It’s a well-known fact that beer dehydrates you, which is clearly going to be a problem when you’re dealing with temperatures of 2000 Celsius or whatever they have in Hell. Yeah I know, I’m probably being over-literal - though that still doesn’t explain LTV’s men-behaving-badly festival (is it in anticipation of The Hangover 3 next month?), following last week’s The Penthouse with this little-known sex comedy. A guy is getting married, so his two friends take him to a strip club for his bachelor party - and not just a strip club but “the Superbowl of carnal pleasures” according to Tucker Max (Matt Czuchry), the wildest

and most irresponsible of the three friends. Mr. Max is apparently a real person who “chronicles his drinking and sexual encounters in the form of short stories on his website TuckerMax.com” according to Wikipedia, all of which sounds pretty tacky - and he also wrote the script here, moving from sexy-time to a poignant final act as Tucker tries to reconcile with his friends.

Best watched with beer, or not at all. Made in 2009.

The Women on the 6th Floor

supercilious middle-aged stuffiness better than any other Frenchman (and that’s saying something) and he also stars in this pleasant semi-comedy, as an uptight stockbroker in 60s Paris. He and his wife live a safe, regimented existence, but all that changes when he happens to get involved with the women on the 6th floor - a passel of Spanish maids who work in the luxury flats Fabrice owns, melting the repressed man’s cold heart (“You never worry about anyone, suddenly you care about Spanish maids?” asks his puzzled wife) and opening his eyes to a new, vibrant culture. Sounds a bit simplistic, but Luchini has a rare knack of balancing comic fussiness and real emotion; I’ll watch anything with this actor. Made in 2010.

Being Flynn (Novacinema1, 22.00) “I’m an artist,” says Jonathan Flynn - con-man, absent dad and self-proclaimed Great Writer - in this worthy drama, then again Flynn is played by Robert De Niro and you have to wonder if De Niro (for all his occasional greatness) really is an artist. Would an artist give the kind of bland, soulless performances he’s been churning out for paycheques in the past decade? This is part of his current comeback, seeking out meatier roles (he won an Oscar nomination - his first in 20 years - for Silver Linings Playbook), and I haven’t seen it but it sounds fairly solid, with Paul Dano as the estranged son with whom Flynn is unexpectedly reunited. The son is working at a homeless shelter, and

Being Flynn

Flynn is homeless; the son is also a writer - and Flynn still considers himself a great writer, pointing out that “Writers are particularly prone to madness”. The two men try to work through their relationship, allowing De Niro to rant, snarl, make speeches, get violent and do more Acting than he’s done in years. Is he an artist? I have my doubts - but, if only for the sake of Travis Bickle, I can’t write him off altogether. Made in 2012.

Broadcast News (Capital, 22.50) “What do you think the Devil’s going to look like if he’s around?” says Albert Brooks, prompting Holly Hunter to roll her eyes disbelievingly - but Albert won’t be dissuaded: “He will be attractive! He’ll be nice and help-

ful. He’ll get a job where he influences a great Godfearing nation. He’ll never do an evil thing - he’ll just, bit by little bit, lower our standards where they are important.” Albert pauses, then adds ruefully: “And he’ll get all the great women”. Albert knows whereof he speaks, because he’s seen the Devil in the person of bland, handsome news anchor William Hurt - a man who’s shallow (unlike Albert himself) but telegenic, and gets a great woman in sparky, neurotic Ms. Hunter. All three leads were Oscar-nominated, and this razor-sharp rom-com is either dated in the Age of the Internet or incredibly prescient, depending on whether you view Twitter and Co. as a blessing or a sign of the Apocalypse. Good stuff; made in 1987.

By Preston Wilder

21 Jump Street (Novacinema1, 22.00) “One of the highest laughs-per-minute ratios since The Naked Gun,” wrote the Philadelphia Enquirer - one of many bafflingly good reviews for this patchy comedy, based (very loosely) on an 80s TV show. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are a pair of cops sent back to high school, their mission being to pose as students and infiltrate a drug ring. Much was made of the ‘bromance’ aspect - our heroes’ borderline-homoerotic relationship - but it’s too coy to be very funny, and the film’s big idea (that high school has changed, “environmental awareness” and tolerance being what the post-Glee generation find cool now) is stated rather

than shown. As so often with Hollywood comedy, structure is almost non-existent, leaving only a handful of mild jokes: Channing mangling Miranda rights (“You have the right to remain an attorney”), the “Aroma of Christ Church” and Ice Cube talking of Korean Jesus (“Stop f***in’ with Korean Jesus! He busy! With Korean shit!”), and so on. You think this is as funny as Naked Gun? I’ll see you in the intensive-care ward of Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle. Made in 2012.

Dead Calm (LTV3, 22.00) Nicole Kidman is bereaved, gloomy and noticeably Botoxed in Rabbit Hole (LTV, 21.00) tonight - but fans may prefer to wait an hour and watch a younger,

Dead Calm

fresher Nic in this starkly powerful Aussie thriller. Nicole and husband Sam Neill have just lost their child (yup, she’s bereaved in this one too) and go on a yacht trip to try and recover. They spot a stricken boat, from which a scared young man (Billy Zane) rows towards them, climbs on board and tells a gruesome tale of being the only survivor of a terrible attack of food poisoning. But is he telling the truth - or is there a more sinister reason why the people on the other boat are all dead? A small triumph for all concerned, from director Phillip Noyce - who went to Hollywood on the strength of this film - to 21-year-old Kidman, long before Tom Cruise, her Oscar and that rather unfortunate Botox-ing. Dead clever. Dead good. Made in 1989.

By Preston Wilder

Welcome to the South (Novacinema1, 22.00) Cyprus may look small to an outsider, but people from Limassol make jokes about the uptight people from Nicosia, and everyone agrees you should probably show your passport when entering Paphos.

Every country has its regional stereotypes - which is why Welcome to the Sticks (Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis) became such a hit in France and why it got re-made in Italy as Welcome to the South (Benvenuti al Sud), the only difference being that the French make jokes about the far north of France (home of the so-called Ch’tis) whereas in Italy anything south of Naples is terra incognita. Actually there’s a bigger difference:

the north-south divide is political in Italy, and our hero (Claudio Bisio) is more than just upset when he’s transferred to the village of Castellabate - but of course the natives turn out to be friendly, even if they do eat a gross mix of pig’s blood and chocolate for breakfast.

Fun for Italians, who’ll spot many a regional stereotype; as for why it’s being shown in prime-time to a Cyprus audience ... well, it just confirms my suspicion that Novacinema is run by Paphians. Made in 2010.

Ben Hur (Sigma, 23.00) ‘Loved Ben, hated her,’ quipped the wags when this came out - though the Academy was in no mood for jokes, showering it with 11 Oscars including Best

Ben-Hur

Picture. ‘What kind of time slot is that?’ yelps the Outraged Viewer, more pertinently - though there’s no need to panic, OV, because tonight it’s just the first half, the second half showing tomorrow at the more reasonable time of 21.20. If you’re only watching that one ... well, you’ll miss Jewish prince Ben Hur (Charlton Heston) coming back to Judea and reuniting with Roman friend Messala (Stephen Boyd) - the hints of homoeroticism are apparently deliberate - but you’ll see the chariot race, the leper colony and Jesus getting crucified (spoiler!), so it’s all good. Three and a half hours of madly dated Hollywood epic, but the big-budget visuals and mellifluous Miklos Rozsa score would be enough to recommend it. Made in 1959.

Mars Attacks! (LTV3, 20.00) Mars attacks! Oh noes! “Don’t run, we are your friends,” claim the little green men - then gleefully zap an allstar cast including Jack Nicholson (in a double role, as the US President and a sleazy hustler) and Pierce Brosnan, doing wonderful things with a pipe as a very 1950s scientist. The MVP is director Tim Burton, now making blockbusters like Alice in Wonderland - and this glorious sci-fi comedy wasn’t a hit but it still ranks among his most personal films, showing off his empathy with losers and misfits: everyone who’s smug or pompous (or indeed successful) gets it in the neck in this wild variation on War of the Worlds, everyone who’s klutzy or dreamy becomes a hero. The plot is

simple enough - Mars attacks! - the details deliberately cheesy (the Martians’ zappers look like toy guns) as you might expect from a film based on a series of kids’ trading cards - and meanwhile the Martians are singing backup for Tom Jones and carving their faces on Mt. Rushmore, not to mention the sinuous rhythms of the ‘Trojan whore’, one of the oddest scenes in 90s Hollywood. Great fun, and a perfect riposte to the gung-ho likes of Independence Day. Made in 1996.

Jesus of Nazareth (CyBC1, 22.00) Are there people who watch this every year? Have they now watched it two dozen times, meaning they can point out the mistakes (‘Look - the second Roman

Jesus of Nazareth

on the right is wearing a watch!’) and know all the dialogue by heart? Someday, I assume, there’s going to be a sea-change, and Easter week will no longer be packed with wall-to-wall Biblical fare (either that or some enterprising pay-TV platform will launch an Atheist Channel) - which is when we’ll look back fondly on Jesus of Nazareth, and appreciate its skilful storytelling not to mention that starry cast with a dozen Oscars between them. Robert Powell is poor tortured Jesus, put through his paces in the script by Anthony Burgess (of Clockwork Orange fame); “I am not ashamed to say that, as a man in my mid-30s, I cry like a baby every time I watch this epic,” says a fan at the Internet Movie Database. Part 1 of 4. Made in 1977.

A Man for All Seasons (Plus TV, 18.35) It’s May Day, a day devoted to the working man (and woman) - so let’s celebrate with a double bill of films about royalty! Admittedly, King Henry VIII comes off badly in this famous piece - a play (by Robert Bolt) about Sir Thomas More, the Chancellor of England, a man of principle who refuses to endorse the king’s plan to divorce his first wife and marry Anne Boleyn, and pays dearly for his integrity. The play became an Oscar-winning film in the 60s - and Charlton Heston, a Serious Actor trapped by his reputation for muscular roles in bloated epics, re-made it for TV in this late-80s version, both directing and starring as More.

The dialogue is straight from the play, the dramatic structure impeccable, the cast includes names like Vanessa Redgrave and John Gielgud. The only reason why some might dismiss it is Heston himself, a squarejawed hunk of beef - and infamous gun nut - who may seem too monolithic for such a complex role; and of course you’ve got the rabid Reds who refuse to weep for aristocrats’ problems on May Day. A fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work, and so on. Made in 1988.

The King’s Speech (LTV, 21.00) Colin Firth is our hero, tormented by a terrible stammer - which is problematic because Colin is a Royal (Prince Bertie, later to become King George VI) and

a stammer is embarrassing when you have to make public speeches and put on a good show for the subjects. He visits unorthodox speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) - and the result is more or less a foregone conclusion, but it hits all kinds of hot 21st-century buttons along the way: our insistence that adult problems have their roots in childhood traumas, our obsession with everyone being equal (Logue insists on calling the Prince by his first name), our modern love of therapy culture, and of course the fervent, post-Diana interest in the Royal Family.

The ending tugs at the tear-ducts (with a massive assist from Beethoven) - but has the King learned to be himself, or just a better actor? Discuss! Made in 2011.
