SUMMER SUN The height of the summer season is nearly upon us. Do you know how to stay safe and cool while you enjoy the sun? Check out these tips on skin care and more!... What Can You Do About It? Remember to limit sun exposure as much as possible, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen.

To a certain degree, everyone is at some risk whilst enjoying the summer sun.

Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapplied at least every two hours. Use waterresistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. The sunscreen “factor” is important, but so too is it’s ability to protect from UVA and UVB, so where possible, check these protection levels provided.

But, those of us with light skin colour, freckles, light hair or eye colour, a family history of skin cancer or a history of sunburn when young, have to be particularly aware. This is especially true for those of us here in the Canary Islands, where exposure to the sun is probably far greater than our bodies are used to.

Remember, sunscreen is formulated to protect the skin against the sun's ultraviolet light (UV), not to help tan the skin.

And, it’s not just nature we have to watch out for, as even rays from artificial sources of light such as tanning booths, can also increase the risk of skin cancer.

lifestyle

Many people are blissfully unaware that some medications can increase sensitivity to the sun. Some examples are certain antibiotics, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones and even anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. Also, cosmetics that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) may also increase sun sensitivity and the possibility of sunburn, particularly those that contain glycolic acid and lactic acid. It is important to protect your skin from the sun while using AHA products and for up to a week after discontinuing their use. Sunscreens alone may not always protect you, so it's always smart to wear wide-brimmed hats and seek shade under a beach umbrella or a tree. And don't forget your sunglasses.These protect the sensitive skin around the eyes and may reduce the long-term risk of developing cataracts. People who wear UV-absorbing contact lenses still should wear UV-absorbing sunglasses since contact lenses don't completely cover the eye. In the short term, if you do get a sunburn, don't put ice or oils on to it. Use a cold compress, and if you don't have that, a pack of frozen vegetables will work just as well. For severe cases, always seek medical attention. In the longer term, be on the lookout for moles that change colour or size, moles that bleed or have an irregular, spreading edge. All these are potential signs of skin cancer.

The sun affects the skin directly, but through long hot periods, or during continuous exercise in a hot climate, the body can be severely affected too. This is where heat illness can become a factor, and in basic terms is the body's cooling system shutting down. The body temperature goes up, which inhibits the ability to sweat. Mild symptoms of heat exhaustion include thirst, fatigue, and cramps in the legs or abdomen. Left untreated, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke. Serious heat-related symptoms include dizziness, headaches, nausea, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, decreased alertness, and a temperature as high as 105ยบF. At the height of summer many people die each year from heat exposure. The risk of heat illness goes up during exercise and sports, as it does with certain health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. Alcohol also increases the risk. So do medications that slow sweat production such as antihistamines and diuretics used to treat water retention, high blood pressure, and some liver and kidney conditions. People aged 65 and older and young children are especially vulnerable to heat illness. Never leave a young child in a car, even for a few minutes with the window open a little, as the temperature inside a car can climb much higher than temperatures outside during a sunny day. What You Can Do? Air conditioning is the obvious protective factor against heat illness, whether at home or in the car. Reduce strenuous activities or do them during early mornings and evenings when it's cooler. If you have to be outside for long stretches of time, carry a water bottle, drink fluids regularly, and don't push your limits. People who play sports should wear light, loosefitting clothes and drink water or sports drinks before, during, and after activity. If you do see someone experiencing heat illness, lie the person down in a cool place and elevate the legs. Use water, wet towels, and fanning to help cool the person until emergency help arrives.

healthy living How the Sun Effects the Skin Sunlight can have a profound effect on the skin causing premature skin ageing, skin cancer, and many other skin changes. Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin ageing. Other skin changes that were commonly believed to be due to the ageing process, such as easy bruising for example, can actually be the result of prolonged exposure to UV radiation. What is UV Radiation? The sun gives off ultraviolet radiation that we divide into categories based on the wavelength. UVC - 100 to 290 nm UVB - 290 to 320 nm UVA - 320 to 400 nm UVC Radiation UVC radiation is almost completely absorbed by the ozone layer and does not affect the skin. UVC radiation can be found in artificial sources such as mercury arc lamps and germicidal lamps. UVB Radiation UVB affects the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, and is the primary agent responsible for sunburns. It is the most intense in the early afternoon when the sunlight is at itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brightest. It is also more intense in the summer months accounting for 70% of a person's yearly UVB dose. UVB does not penetrate glass. UVA Radiation UVA was once thought to have a minor effect on skin damage, but now studies are showing that UVA is a major contributor to skin damage. UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and the intensity of UVA radiation is more constant than UVB without the variations during the day and throughout the year. UVA is also not filtered by glass.

Damaging Effects of UVA and UVB Both UVA and UVB radiation can cause skin damage including wrinkles, lowered immunity against infection, ageing skin disorders, and cancer. Some of the possible mechanisms for UV skin damage are collagen breakdown, the formation of free radicals, interfering with DNA repair, and inhibiting the immune system. Collagen Breakdown In the dermis, UV radiation causes collagen to break down at a higher rate than with just chronologic ageing. Sunlight damages collagen fibers and causes the accumulation of abnormal elastin. When this suninduced elastin accumulates, enzymes called metalloproteinases are produced in large quantities. Normally, these remodel sun-injured skin by manufacturing and reforming collagen. However, this process does not always work well and some of the metalloproteinases actually break down collagen. This results in the formation of disorganized collagen fibres known as solar scars. When the skin repeats this imperfect rebuilding process over and over wrinkles develop. Free Radicals UV radiation is one of the major creators of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that have only one electron instead of two. Because electrons are found in pairs, the molecule must scavenge other molecules for another electron. When the second molecule looses its electron to the first mole6

cule, it must then find another electron repeating the process. This process can damage cell function and alter genetic material. Free radical damage causes wrinkles by activating the metalloproteinases that break down collagen. They cause cancer by changing the genetic material, RNA and DNA, of the cell. DNA Repair UV radiation can affect enzymes that help repair damaged DNA. Immune System Effects The body has a defense system to attack developing cancer cells. These immune system factors include white blood cells called T lymphocytes and specialized skin cells in the dermis called Langerhans cells. When the skin is exposed to sunlight, certain chemicals are released that suppress these immune factors. Cell Death The last line of defense of the immune system is a process called apoptosis. Apoptosis is a process of cell-suicide that kills severely damaged cells so they cannot become cancerous. This cell-suicide is seen when you peel after a sunburn. There are certain factors, including UV exposure, that prevent this cell death allowing cells to continue to divide and possibly become cancerous.

Texture Changes Caused by the Sun UV exposure causes thickening and thinning of the skin. Thick skin is found in coarse wrinkles especially on the back of the neck that do not disappear when the skin is stretched. A condition called solar elastosis is seen as thickened, coarse wrinkling and yellow discoloration of the skin. A common effect of seborrheic keratoses, which are UV exposure is thinning of the skin causing fine warty looking lesions that appear to be "stuck on" the skin.

Most bruising that occurs on sun-damaged skin occurs on the backs of the hands and forearms and not on the inside of the upper arm or forearm. The sun also causes the appearance of telangiectasias, tiny blood vessels, in the skin especially on the face.

A freckle is caused when the melanin-producing cell, or melanocyte, is damaged causing it to get bigger.

food Try a touch of Juice Therapy this summer

High in concentrated nutrients, fruit and vegetable juices are ideal for keeping your immunity high and fighting off colds, flu, and other infections. It is claimed that juice therapy can also lower blood pressure, remedy skin disorders, and relieve digestive problems, though the evidence for these benefits is less than conclusive. Juice therapy can also aid in "detoxification" regimens. The How!

blender. It is recommended to drink the juice as soon as it's made, since raw, unpreserved juice is highly perishable. Any contact with light, heat, or air starts an oxidation process that will eventually break down many of the nutrients. Nevertheless, you can store juice for up to two days if you keep it as cold as possible, just above the point of freezing. Juice Supplements When combined with other dietary regimes, “juice therapy” can be used to augment exercise and sport, or simply improve overall health. However, remember that juicing a fruit or vegetable removes its fibre, and therefore juices cannot be used as a substitute for

Extracting the juice from fruits and vegetables yields a liquid that's rich in sugars, starches, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, but low in mass. In other words you produce a concentrate that contains almost all the nutrients of the plant without the fibrous cell walls that originally contained them. These juices can be used in two ways: as a supplement to a normal diet, or as a substitute for solid food (a "juice diet"). Most “treatments” are short term, for your own benefit and well-being, but if you are undertaking a more serious regimen or dietry change you should always consult your doctor first. There are a variety of juice combinations possible, and since juices are mostly water, they can be mixed in ways you'd rarely attempt with solid foods. Even combining fruits and vegetables is common, although it's unwise to mix acidic juices, such as lemon or orange, with other types as the acids can curdle some liquids. Almost all fruits and most vegetables can be juiced. The fastest and easiest way to extract juice is from any commercial juice maker or type of kitchen 8

whole fruits or vegetables, but only as a low-fat supplement to a balanced diet. Juice Diets Dieticians advocate short term juice-only fasts to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. Juices can also provide at least some nutrients if you are unable to keep solid food down or have some sort of illness. They are especially good for convalescents because they are easier to consume and digest than solids, yet still provide the much needed nutrition. Juice fasts typically should last for no longer than 2 to 3 days, and are often recommended for general health improvement, generally twice a year.

What Treatment Hopes to Accomplish? Juice serves as a valuable nutritional supplement in the treatment of all manner of debilitating illnesses. However, it's important to remember that it's not a magic cure-all. It won't do any more for you than a similar supply of vitamins and minerals from any other source. It lacks the fibre, fat, and protein needed to maintain energy and preserve optimum health.

While juice can boost overall health and resistance, it can't cure any serious chronic disease. Likewise, juice therapy may help the body overcome an infection, but it won't kill any germs by itself.

Many residents in the Archipelago have wondered what Qfm is all about. We`ll start of by letting you know what it isn`t. Qfm isn`t about rigged single charts, or rigged car sticker cash giveaways. It`s not about insulting listener´s intelligence with the irrelevant egotistic woffle of gibbering DJ`s unable to pronounce the name of the municipality they are living in. We`ll never allow it to become the irratating background noise of continuous hard sell with occasional industry-hyped music. Qfm was created for those blessed with the ability to define between taste and hype. It`s a multilingual platform for musical excellence & the myriad of cultural gems which Tenerife has on offer to the world. It`s cool electro-jazz, raw blues, living bass solo`s, theraputic sunset mixes, hypnotic African vibes, Summer soul ........ Advertising space is very limited because the listener comes before the accountant`s bottom line. Fortunately, we are not alone with this philosophy. "Rock Antenna" and "Sunshine Live" both exist to play music which they believe in. "RNE 3" makes us feel as though John Peel`s been resurected in Spain, whilst "Rumba FM" stick to their true roots. Then there´s the other side of the coin; talk radio. Over the last 4 decades, radio has not only become an integral part of our lives for musical entertainment, but also for essential information. There are some excellent state run and independant information based radio stations in the Canaries, RNE 1, ECCA, etc.. obviously these don`t serve nonspanish speakers. Perhaps one day .........

Tenerife has become an incredibly popular golfing destination for tourists over the past few years, with numerous golf courses as listed on this page. There have been twelve professional tournaments held on the island since 1989, with seven from the Mens European circuit and five from the Ladies European Tour. Continuing our regular look at some of the variety of venues the island has to offer, we turn our attention to a long established favourite of residents and regular visitors alike. The Los Palos Golf Centre is a beautifully crafted nine hole course situated in the South of Tenerife, in the district of Arona. Just a few minutes from the TF1 motorway at Guaza, it is easily accessible from Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. As a par 27, it is a short course, but don’t be put off by this as there are many challenges in its 914 metres. It is certainly not a pitch and putt as it requires accurate approach play, and five of its holes are heavily influenced by water hazards. Designed by José María Olazábal´s company, it was opened back in December 1994. Situated

Plants and Flowers Fair in Santa Cruz Over seven hundred people visited the stand dedicated to Protected Natural Areas between April 29 and May 7. The Fair is part of the “Tenerife nuestro hogar” (Tenerife our home) project which Wladimiro Rodriguez Brito of the Cabildo’s Environment and Scenery department organised.

Visitors to the stand could learn about the Protected Natural Spaces in Tenerife, the indigenous flora, as well as activities that take place at the Tahonilla nursery. Cabildo personnel handed out pines for planting and held recycling demonstrations. Additionally, primary and secondary school teachers were given maps and leaflets with information about these Protected Natural Areas which they could distribute in their respective schools.

Wladimiro Rodríguez stressed that “these initiatives are very positive. They enable the population to get to know our environment. Tenerife has a series of natural spaces that are protected due to their special characteristics. This is one of the things the Cabildo wants to inform people about. Visitors to the stand were also able to learn how waste should be recycled, another very important theme we are working on.”

FC Barcelona player Henrik Larsson awarded honorary MBE for his services to football Henrik Larsson was presented recently with an honorary MBE by HM Ambassador Sir Stephen Wright on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen during a reception at FC Barcelona stadium Camp Nou. President of FC Barcelona Mr Joan Laporta, British Consul in Barcelona, David Smith, and relatives and friends of the player attended the presentation. Sir Stephen said: "Henrik Larsson was nominated for this honour by Celtic fans. He continues to be held in high regard as a role model for the young and represents a refreshing view of football and the influence that senior players can have beyond the confines of their club. Whilst he has applied himself competitively to football he rarely questions officials, showing a high level of sportsmanship and a regard for his fellow professionals on and off the pitch. He has set a fine example for anyone that wants to pursue a career in football and continues to show that being a gentleman is not a barrier to becoming a professional footballer. " The Order of the British Empire was founded in 1917 as a means of recognising outstanding service by civilians during World War I. It is the honour most commonly conferred upon members of the public and public servants for services to the British Crown, either in a personal or official capacity.

The “Tenerife nuestro hogar” campaign is designed to give food for thought on how to conserve the islands’ environment for the benefit of future generations, and to stimulate the public’s awareness and participation in environmental issues.

Protecting Tenerife’s green mantle The fire that ravaged 35 hectares of pine trees in north Tenerife lately has prompted the authorities to consider restrictive measures aimed at safeguarding the island’s mountain forests this summer. Access to a number of key forest tracks and protected areas will be severely limited if not completely banned. The announcement was made on the occasion of a news conference held to coincide with European Parks Day. But the authorities were keen to promote a message not just of restrictions. There was a positive note to raise awareness among the general public about official policies and projects related to the island’s natural environment. “Our efforts are not only directed at recuperating eroded and otherwise damaged territory, “ said a spokesman for the Cabildo’s environment department, “but also at protecting and defending the existence of local people living in specific areas such as the rural parklands of Anaga and Teno. After all, it’s not just plants and trees that live in these places, but people too.” Local inhabitants have seen their living standards improve dramatically in recent years, while at the same time they have managed to maintain their customs and way of life, he said. The aim is to try to stop local people abandoning the land by encouraging a diversification of the rural economy, fostering local crafts and traditions and, through the development of rural tourism initiatives, encourage more people to visit and get to know these beautiful and often remote areas of the island – and spend their money there.

Cayuco record as 758 immigrants arrive in 24 hours Another day, another massive arrival, another record. May 29 marked a watershed in the ongoing humanitarian crisis affecting the archipelago – and more specifically Tenerife – with the disembarkation of 758 immigrants over the course of a single day.

EAST

And, as the authorities take stock of the situation and, fearful of adverse public reaction, try to minimize it, they find themselves confronted by a new problem: as fast as they try to act in one area, a new immigration front opens up in another. First the boats came from Morocco, then Mauritania and latterly Senegal. But information gleaned from the latest arrivals appear to indicate that the always hazardous voyages are becoming even more so, with cayucos sailing in from Gambia and the Ivory Coast for the first time. The occupants of the Ivorian boat, which made landfall in Los Cristianos, claimed they had set out nine days previously, two days short of the heroic voyage of some Gambians who arrived in La Gomera the same day. In total eleven rickety vessels sailed into the archipelago yesterday, and for the first time the port of Las Palmas was the scene of a mass disembarkation when 85 immigrants stepped ashore after their boat was spotted and thrown a line a mile from the coast. Meanwhile in Fuerteventura four boats put in. And the drama was even greater when it emerged that among the passengers were nine women and five babes in arms. Even the archipelago’s smallest, most remote and most easterly island was not untouched by the avalanche of human misery. At the close of day a boat carrying 60 people was towed into the port of La Restinga in El Hierro.

home style

the ideal apartment . . .

The Ideal Apartment? Is there such a thing? And if there is as far as you’re concerned then what exactly are you looking for? You may be looking for a first home or for somewhere with more room than where you are now. You may want an investment to furnish and rent either long term or for the holiday trade. Whatever it’s use is to be, chances are the benefits to you and the attributes you are looking for will be the same. What do you want in an apartment? High ceiling, tiled or wood floors, plenty of storage space? It's important to figure this out before you look. Most of the time, we won't be able to get everything we want, so make a list of your preferred requirements, and if you can manage these into some sort of order of priority to your needs, you will find yourself making decisions more quickly while you look. Don’t forget to consider the peripherals too, such as do you need a parking space or garage and does it need to be close to all amenities, if you have no transport for example. Taking time to consider what you need and want will help you more confidently choose the best apartment. 1. How many rooms do you want? Do you need an extra room for: a den, an office or even a studio.

king-size bed, extra-long settee, large rug or even your exercise equipment - as well as accessibility to get it in there!)

2. How much cupboard and storage space do you need? Remember an apartment, by its very nature has little or no space outside (lobby or garden) therefore all your belongings will need to be housed within the confines of your four walls.

5. What amenities would you like? These tend to increase the price and/or rent, so prioritize the essentials and hope for as many as you can attain at an affordable price.

3. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? 4. What size of apartment do you want? How many square feet do you want? How big a kitchen and does it need to be independent? Are the rooms big enough for large furniture? (Don´t forget that

6. Do you want specific features? If there is a specific feature that will make you happy and ease the troubles in your life, it might be worth the effort to look for in your new apartment. This could be any number of personal things, but here are some features you might consider : - marble floors - large windows and bright light (maybe for houseplants) - high ceilings - beautiful views (either out to sea or mountains) - proximity to places you enjoy visiting: whether this is the beach, shopping centres, cafes or restaurants - proximity to a good road network 6. Do you need a large terrace? This is something you must consider in every apartment, particularly if there are limited community areas and facilities. You wikk need to consider the additional storage space this can provide, clothes drying area, as well as for recreational purposes.

Essential Items for Your First Apartment

have a soft appeal. Plus, the fabric of curtains is a better barrier against sound and the cold outside.

Getting your first apartment can be an exhilarating experience. That empty space is full of promise and offers plenty of prospects for shopping. Let your imagination wander a little. It is easy either to get carried away and blow your money on non-essential (but gratifying) items; or to worry at the thought of spending your hard-earned income on expensive furniture.

3. Shower Curtain and Shower Rings Not all apartments come with a shower curtain, and I would be suspicious of how clean one is, if it does. Shower curtains come in all different texture, colors, and can be opaque or transparent. With this inexpensive purchase, you can really add style and personality to your apartment bathroom.

The following is a brief but basic list of essential purchases for turning your first apartment into a comfortable, functional home. It would probably be wise to purchase at least the first five items before you move in.

4. Curtains or Blinds If you have bare windows in your first apartment, purchase curtains or blinds as soon as you can--for the sake of privacy. Blinds are more functional, but curtains

1. Mattress / Bed This first purchase is obvious, especially if you want to avoid spending a night or two on a cold hard floor in a sleeping bag. Those first days, weeks, or months in your first apartment, your bed can be the place where you eat, read, and watch TV.

5. Chest of Drawers or Hanging Closet Organizers There are many ways to store your clothing. As long as you have one, you're all right. A chest of drawers is great, if you have the space. A cheaper alternative to a dresser is stackable plastic drawers. You can also buy hanging shelves with hooks that sit on your closet rod.

2. Rubbish Bins DonÂ´t forget one each for the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom, or at the very least have plenty of bin liners.

6. Dishware, Cups, and Utensils It's much cheaper to eat at home than at a restaurant. Even if you have to live off take-aways until you get your kitchen appliances, you will still need some bowls, cups, plates, forks, spoons, and knives, whether disposable or permanent. 7. Fan A fan is a multipurpose gadget, which makes it worth purchasing. In the summer, it will keep you cool and also they are perfect for blocking out background noises, loud neighbours, or just general sounds from outside your open window. 8. Table and / or Desk As a starter for your first apartment, your table will function as the place where you eat, do all your work, put your computer, etc. If you don't have enough money for a table then even cardboard boxeswill do to get you started.

9. Chair Yes, you can always eat in bed, but it's nice to have a chair to go along with your table or desk. 10. Lamp A great lamp can really make a room cozy and is essential should the bulb in your overhead light blow out in the night. 11. Bookshelf If you have a lot of books invest in a bookshelf- or a semblance of one--to protect them or at least keep them off the floor. If you are short on money then get a few milk crates and stack them on top of one another, or bricks and boards of wood for an earthier feel. Stack the wooden boards up with two bricks underneath the ends of each one.

12. Sofa / Settee This is such a necessity that it's disconcerting to live in your first apartment without one. They're especially essential for when you have guests over.
