President For A Day! Continued from page 1

And to be provided to neighborhoods or small towns like mine - a playground. To be created, a mailbox for the children of the island, where young voices can be heard and ideas and problems come to the attention of the important people who run our town. (We are children, but many of us have lived and are living with the plight of financial problems in our households, our parents struggle daily, although we do not always realize). We need activities we can enjoy with our grandparents, school groups that can make

visits or create workshops at their residences. Maybe we can brighten their day, and help understand that one day, we will also be grandparents. I wanted to thank you all for this opportunity to be President for a day, it will be something I will never forget and surely I will help you understand that “politicians” are above all: parents, normal people like me ... And I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the parties and to all the people of Tenerife, and that no child is left without a

gift and that no adult lose the illusion. I want a 2014 full of joy for my island, work for our parents, health and solidarity smiles for all. Learn to share.” The proposal was approved unanimously by all political groups within the Cabildo of Tenerife. Spokesmen for Cristina Valido (Canary CoalitionPNC-CCN), José Luis Delgado (PSOE) and Antonio Alarcó (PP) political groups congratulated Kathia for her proposal and encouraged her to continue in this spirit and to tomorrow realize her dreams. Throughout the day, Kathia Valentín González kept to an intense agenda that, in addition to visiting the Cabildo, she visited the facilitiesMetropolitano de Tenerife where she was

demonstrated the operation of the streetcar, the Museum of Nature and Man, TEA Tenerife Space for the Arts, the Tenerife Auditorium Adán Martín and Children’s Park Tenerife 2013. Our Regional President for a day is scheduled to attend the party of the Friends of Vitolo which takes place in the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez Stadium.

NEWS ON neW Beginnings for THE ROCK tenerife famiLy CHurCH

A man’s body was found just before midnight Monday on Playa de las Vistas. Emergency services say he was a 56-year-old Italian who was discovered floating in the sea by passers-by who pulled him from the water and called 112. Paramedics saw on arrival that they could do nothing for the poor man, and were able only to confirm his death at the scene. National Police have now taken over the investigation. The Cabildo has begun work to improve the surface in various sections of the TF-1 motorway South. These works will be held until January 2nd, at night, from 22.00 to 6.00 hours. The Minister of Roads and insular landscape, José Luis Delgado explained that these works are possible thanks to the rigorous work that has been done in the area and has allowed the redistribution of economic savings achieved through the optimization of available resources. Therefore, “we have the maintenance carried out before the year ends, we can solve some problems we had on the roads and implement improvements for the benefit of our citizens,” said the counselor. The Tenerife Cabildo has closed the TF-24 road to the Teide National Park by Esperanza for reconstruction work on the wall and the stability of the road. The insular corporation has contracted an emergency action with an investment of 154,000 euros to repair the road that was damaged by the storm of rain, wind and snow that hit the island recently. The storm caused several landslides on the road, so it remains closed to ensure safety. The Minister of Roads and insular landscape, José Luis Delgado explains that this was the purpose of the road closure. It is therefore not possible to drive from kilometer 24 (at the junction with the TF523 road Parrots, Arafo) to kilometer 43 (crossing the Portillo, the intersection of the TF-21 TF- 24). The main actions are performed at kilometer 37. Delgado reported that, during the execution of the work, will be enabled as soon as possible, with intermittent traffic lane in order to allow circulation directly from the metropolitan area. But remember to stay open access by La Orotava Teide and by Vilaflor and Chio, in the South. The Corporation asks island citizens not to attempt to access the area due to the risks to their safety. The Cabildo of Tenerife and the Canary Islands Government will have nine offices in the Island to assist victims of domestic violence during 2014. The paid service will begin on 1 January 2014 and is performed under the collaboration agreement signed between the council and the Equality Authority Canario Canary Islands Government for the development of a comprehensive social system of the prevention and protection of victims of gender violence of the island of Tenerife, which was signed in April this year. The budget for carrying out these actions to ensure the care of victims amounted to 3.2 million euros, of which 1.3 is supplied by the Corporation island and 1.9 by the regional administration. Offices are located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La Laguna, Santa Ursula, La Orotava, Los Silos Candelaria, Adeje and Granadilla. During the first quarter of the year will start another resource in Icod de los Vinos. The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Carlos Alonso, and the Vice President and the Minister of Social Action, Cristina Valido, this year celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the commissioning of SINPROMI, in a ceremony which was also attended by the CEO, Carmen Rosa García. Carlos Alonso claimed the role of SINPROMI past two decades in its aim to “normalize the lives of people with disabilities. It is a project that began 20 years ago, but today it still applies, which has grown and has adapted to the changing circumstances of the environment to facilitate access to work for people with disabilities.” Carlos Alonso stressed “the involvement of businesses on the island, who have understood that throughout this period it is important to employ people with disabilities.” He also said that the council will increase the resources allocated to SINPROMI in 2014 and, together with the Canary Islands Government, through the Canary Employment Service, 65 people SINPROMI be incorporated in the next year on Saturday, December 28, in La Laguna the Day on Active Ageing and Cooperation was held, attended by guests and speakers, Manuel Rebollo, project developer and educational and socio association Seniors Values University of La Laguna; Chema Mendez, vice president of the Platform of NGOs Canarias; Miguel Diaz, an expert on volunteer associations City Aguere, and Cristina Valido, vice president of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife and responsible for Action Social. The Conference was opened by the Secretary insular Tenerife Canary Coalition, Fernando Clavijo and the president of the XXI Century Foundation, Hilario Rodríguez.

fairy taLes from spain

o, SAnTA has been and gone, we’ve seen in the new Year and the Three Kings are almost here with their camels laden with gifts for every Spanish child. A tradition that Britain has at this time of year that Spain doesn’t is of course the good old traditional Panto. Most Pantomimes are of course based on traditional fairy tales, Snow White, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and all the many other classics we loved as children. Although Spain doesn’t do Pantomime, they have many, many fairy tales of their own, which I thought I might share with you this week.

The Bird of Truth

This traditional Spanish fable tells the story of an elderly fisherman who finds two beautiful babies floating on the river in a crystal cradle. He decides to raise the boy and girl as his own but his real sons were very cruel to them. To escape the brothers taunts they would go down to the river to feed the birds and over time, were able to understand their language. One day they heard the birds talking about the baby twins who were taken from the Queen by a wicked courtier at birth, and thrown into the river in a crystal cradle, telling the Queen they were dead, which drove her so insane she was locked up in a tower. The birds then told them only the Bird of Truth could convince the King of this deception, and that it was kept prisoner by a Giant in the Castle of Come and Never Go. Only a Witch could direct them to the Castle and The Bird of Truth was surrounded by Birds of Ill Faith, only an Owl could tell the difference. After many

trials

the

children tricked the Witch, found the Castle, rescued the Bird and on hearing the truth, the King chopped off the heads of the evil courtiers and the twins were united with their royal parents.

The Knights of The Fish

A poor hungry cobbler once caught a beautiful fish, which spoke, telling him to cook it, feed two pieces to his wife and to bury two in the garden. He did and his wife gave birth to twins and a tree grew in the garden bearing two beautiful shields. When the boys became men they travelled and parted ways, one defeated a Dragon and married a Princess, but when he noticed a black marble Castle in the distance he was warned that no one who went there ever returned. Not able to resist he went and met the ugly evil Witch who lived there, who, seeing how handsome he was demanded he marry her. He refused so she killed him by dropping him through a trapdoor. His brother, hearing about it confronted the Witch and stabbed her, dying she begged him to fetch a magic plant from the grounds that could restore her life. On the way he found the bodies of his brother and all her other victims, whom he restored with the same magic, and also a cave full of the maidens killed by the dragon, whom he also restored. The witch was so annoyed that she died, and the castle fell down.

The Vain little Mouse

La Ratita Presumida in an old Spanish folk tale of which there are many variant. In some versions of the tale the she-mouse is seduced by a cat, who sweetly meows when asked what he will do at night. In this version the she-mouse marries the cat and she is usually eaten by the cat at the wedding night, though not always. Other variants have a part in which the hemouse falls into a broth and dies, and even a part, in which all the friends of the she-mouse harm themselves somehow describing their actions in a song, because they feel sorry for her. The main character of the story can also have different representations such as a little ant or even a little cockroach. The structure of this tale makes it suitable for personalization and adaptation, it is also useful in order to teach the little kids about the animals and their different sounds, or to make them participate doing the sounds. Well, I hope you enjoyed this little taste of fairy tales, Spanish style, there are many, many more, but we will have to leave t h e m for another night.... Now, lights out, and pleasant dreams.

teide guide

he Cabildo of Tenerife has issued the guide to the Ascent of Teide, a document in five languages which provides comprehensive information to tourists and residents who would like to access the Teide national Park, the most visited in Europe and third in the World and named a World Heritage Site by unesco in 2007. The guide was presented by the President of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, the island mobility manager, Manuel ortega, the director of Teide Cableway, Ignacio Sabate and the president for a day, Kathia gonzález.

who has had the collaboration of artists like William Pozuelo, Joaquín Ponce or Daniel Lopez. The guide is available in Spanish, English, German, French and Russian and has a price of 17.95 euros The Ascent of Teide guide is meant as a fundamental tool to fully enjoy the visit to the Teide National Park. It is divided into ten chapters, most notably those relating to the Teide volcano, the cable cars, the flora, the trails and Altavista Refuge. It also incorporates factsheets, travelogue and an additional georeferenced maps The book devotes a large space to the paths of Teide-Pico Viejo, Fortaleza, Telesforo Bravo and White Mountain-with photographs, contour maps each difficulty level, length, slope, landscape description and interpretation. It also incorporates a section dedicated to the nocturnal landscape of the park and the astronomical quality of the sky. The guide is designed to be useful both for those visiting the Teide by car to walk the trails, whether they are regular walkers, or if they come for the first time to Tenerife. It is, in short, an eminently practical work to enjoy a visit to the Teide National Park.

Cabildo has said that the Children’s Fair has seen 7,834 people pass through its doors in just the first week, a rise of 30.5% over last year’s visitors. Clearly, the ice rink has made all the difference this year, and it, together with the roller coaster and the “house of fear” are the biggest attractions among visitors. The fair will be open until 7 January.

el Hierro Wakes for the Holidays by janetanscombe.com

Earthquake update same day I received an email from Bob in El Hierro who said that they were “having another house shaking session, two felt in Valverde around 16.30 hours”.

T HAD been fairly quiet of late, indeed over the last few weeks it’s been very quiet indeed, but it awoke to give a Christmas message. A new cluster of tremors were registered before Christmas on 22nd December, which experts said looked like a preliminary to something stronger. The activity started in the Mar del golfo with 11 tremors at a depth between 14 and 16 km, and then started to move under the island. The highest tremor recorded was over 3 on the Richter scale: Volcanologists said that the magma was still trying to find a way out. The

There were 121 earthquakes over 1.5 on the Richter scale on 23rd December, all of them at a depth of around 14km. Volcanologists said that a new episode of magma eruption had now started, confirmed by deformation data supplied by Involcan: upward deformation was at least 2cm. The tremors had headed to, and were clustering below, the El Pinar area. On the 27th, a widelyfelt earthquake was recorded by IGN – not only in El Hierro, but also in the north of Tenerife and La Palma. This tremor was widely felt by the public.

EnERIFE may be well-known around the world for its beaches, shopping and night life, however, before the tourists, and continuing into present day, the locals and the faithful pilgrims have found respite and rejuvenation in the churches and convents of Tenerife. For hundreds of years, Tenerife has built a rich religious history and tradition that can now be enjoyed by all who visit this beautiful island. Convento Santa Catalina, San Cristobal de La Laguna Located in La Laguna is the convent Santa Catalina. This convent is well-known for the

resting site of the body of the Sister María de Jesús de León Delgado, a venerated nun. Guarded by the convent of Dominican nuns, the body is only available for viewing on the anniversary of her death on February 15 and the following Sunday. On these days thousands of faithful come to pay their respects to “The Siervita”, lining up for hours in a queues extending around the blocks. Also known as the Convent of St. Catherine of Siena, the site contains notable artwork including a sculpture of Santa Rosa de Lima, sculpted by Rodríguez de la Oliva, a well-known 18th century sculptor. Founded in 1611, the convent has at times housed hundreds of nuns. The building sits directly in the center of the city of San Cristobal de La Laguna and is easily accessed.

Garachico was the busiest port in Tenerife during the 16th and 17th centuries thanks to its deep natural harbour. However, the town was ravaged by volcanic eruption in 1706 and has never regained its stature, though it has made a steady comeback to become a quaint seaside town. Located 61 km (38 miles) from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Garachico is home to the former Convento de San Francisco which is now a local museum with interesting architecture and many interesting photos of old-time Garachico. For only 1 Euro, visitors can get out of the heat and tour the tree-shaded convent and marvel at the spectacularly carved wood ceilings, balconies and detailed gargoyles. Much of the wood-working is done in the mudéjar style that blends Muslim and Christian

architecture. The wooden balconies surround the inside of the structure which is typical of authentic Canarian architecture. Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Pena Francia, Puerto de la Cruz On the north coast of Tenerife, 37 km (23 miles) from Santa Cruz you will find Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Pena Francia. Sitting directly in the center of Puerto de la Cruz’s old town, the Peña de Francia houses an ornate Baroque style alter and houses many pieces of artwork as well as fine examples of Spanish gold and silver dating back hundreds of years. Finished in 1697 and replacing a simple chapel originally occupying the site, the Peña de Francia has been modified, restored and added to over hundreds of years to achieve its present state and high-level of artistic significance.

EVENTS ON THE ROCK At The Museum of Nature and Man, Canarian cuisine

enhances tourist visits from cruise ships visiting the port of Santa Cruz. Visitors who choose the option of touring the Museum, especially attracted by the large collection of Guanche mummies are able to complement the visit with a tasting of typical Canarian products. It is a wide selection of cheeses and wines Islands served in the cozy courtyard in tne Museum, the culmination of an experience combines culture and cuisine. The objective of this initiative is to promote culture and tourism through gastronomy, which help share the essence of the island through its cultural heritage. In addition, tourists have the opportunity to visit the Museum shop and pick up a souvenir of the island, either a unique piece of pottery or jewelry, and an occasional original or copy of any publication issued by Tenerife Museums, among others articles. The Museum of Nature and Man has received during the month of December about a thousand of tourists from different nationalities, of which over a hundred have been enjoying the activity that combines culture and cuisine. It is expected that this number is exceeded, since the Port of Santa Cruz expects twenty cruises to visit before the end of the year.

HE MAYoR of Adeje José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, along with the councillor for finance, Epifanio Díaz Hernández, and the local group spokesperson Andrés Pérez Ramos, presented the council’s budget estimates for 2014 on Friday, December 27th.

According to the mayor “these estimates deal with three interrelated elements. Firstly we are concentrating on the creation of employment which is the area that grew most in 2013, with a 14 % increase. Secondly we are looking at tourism, which for us is a strategic sector and

the economic motor of our borough. This area has a growth rate of 6.8 %. And thirdly we are working to make the economy more dynamic. These estimates take these three elements into consideration.” The philosophy behind the council’s estimates for 2014 are based on the “presumption of costs and investments based on previous years and which have allowed us enter into a period of economic stability, reduce the debt and meet all the required ratios of the Municipal Finance Fund” explained mayor Rodriguez Fraga . In this regard the estimates, taking all the costs into consideration, only has a rise in the IPC of 1.43%. This indicates a cost of something in the region of 79 million Euros,

T Electricity to rise between 1.5% and a maximum of 3%

with a possible surplus of 4 million Euros. In the section on spending, the council is predicting a total of around 84 million Euros, 2.59% less than in 2013, which the local government used to ensure that there were no increased in local direct or indirect taxes in the year ahead, nor in rates. This reduction in financial pressure on residents and businesses, along with the municipal funding, has the objective of making Adeje “more competitive and ensuring a dynamic economy for Adeje”, continued the mayor. At the same time he recognised the willingness of Adeje citizens to pay their rates and taxes and said that it was thanks to that level of civic responsibility that the council had

here was a huge fanfare a week or so ago about huge electricity price rises in the new year, with the press creating outrage by saying that hikes of 11% were going to be imposed on impoverished consumers. It is true that the power companies were planning this rise, but it was n eve r g o -

to capacity to be flexible and invest. The councillor for finance said that the Adeje council was meeting the requirements of the Municipal Finance Fund for the second consecutive year which assumed a net of 4 million Euros, of which 50% is destined for investment and social emergencies. The capacity to invest is where the councillors have also see a 300 % growth which is generating employment and re-energising the economy. . The finance councillor explained that they had prepared an estimates programme that was “flexible, reflecting the changing reality that we are living in, and a programme that has the capacity to react to any growth situations that may arise”

ing to be accepted by the government. And, indeed, the arrangement has been declared null and void, and a rise of between 1.5% and a maximum of 3% has instead been confirmed. The increase will be approved in today’s cabinet meeting, when the freezing of 2014´s minimum wage will also be passed.

Hotel explosion - an accident

BRITISH holidaymaker and her young daughter were among 5 people who were injured at a hotel pool bar when a container used to keep buffet food warm exploded. The explosion happened at the Bahia Princ-

ipe Hotel in the resort of Playa Paraiso in Adeje, shortly after 4pm last Friday. The woman suffered severe burns to her face and scalp after being caught in the blast and her eight year old daughter suffered less seri-

ous burns to her neck and ear. A spokesman for the Bahia Principe said it was unclear what exactly had caused the explosion which occurred in the poolside bar area:

“This was an accident and we still are not sure what went wrong - we are awaiting the investigation of the judicial police.The explo-

sion took place in a metal buffet container by the pool which uses a flammable gel to keep food warm. The swimming pool is now open again and the hotel is back to normal, we would like to wish those who were injured a speedy recovery.” A man, understood to be the father of the child, received medical attention. Two other women, a Belgian and a Spaniard were also treated in hospital for minor abrasions. A spokesman from the Foreign and commonwealth Office said: “We can confirm an incident in Tenerife involving two British Nationals,we are offering consular assistance and liasing with local authorities.” A spokesman for the Canary Islands government confirmed: “Five people were injured, including three British members of the same family. The British casualties included an eight-year-old girl who suffered non-serious burns to her neck and one of her ears, her mother who suffered severe burns to her face and scalp and her father who suffered minor abrasions.The mother was taken to a hospital in the capital Santa Cruz called Nuestra Senora de La Candelaria University Hospital because of the severity of her burns while the father and daughter were treated at the Hospiten Sur on the south of the island.” The hospital confirmed that the woman, who has not been named, was in a serious but stable condition.

There can be a few showers never usually lasting long but you are usually guaranteed sun for at least part of the day. With Christmas over we are now into Scandi season when a large number of holiday makers come from the Scandinavian countries. January Highlights

Christmas lingers until the 6th January when Los Reyes Magos (the Three Kings) deliver gifts to well behaved Spanish children. On the night of the 5th January, every town is visited by the Reyes Magos, arriv-

ing by camel or helicopter. In the south Los Cristianos, the main town of Adeje and Los Gigantes are good places to follow the kings and their parade. In the north, Santa Cruz puts on a great show when the Kings usually set up their thrones at CD Tenerife’s Heliodoro Stadium. Christmas in the Streets lasts until 6th January – Lights and carols invade our streets, together with the smell of nougat and toasted almonds and in every corner of the island strolling artists provide plenty of activities for the whole family whether at charity events and craft markets. Visit a Belen – Different associations, businesses and individuals throughout the island show their Christmas feeling with these Nativity masterpieces.

MAINLAND 11 miLLion tourists Visit NEWS IN tHe BaLeariC isLands BRIEF Images of legendary actors like Charlie Chaplin, Clint Eastwood and Bruce Lee, plus scenes from movies like “The Birds,” “The Shining,” “Terminator 2,” “Dirty Harry,” “Taxi Driver,” “Pulp Fiction” and “Batman,” have been hand-painted in Spain on barrels of vintage wines as part of the Laovejabala project. The Bodegas Contador winery, in the town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, is the first setting for this project, for which San Cristobal and Martin travel daily to the municipality of Samaniego in the Rioja wine country where they handpaint the barrels.San Cristobal, who has set a final sales price of between 1,000 and 1,200 euros ($1,520 and $1660) on his artworks, said: “Painting on a curved surface rather than on a flat one brings its own difficulties, but also gives value-added to the product, in this case a barrel, whose attractive shape lends itself to this technique,” The exhibition installed at the Bodegas Contador winery now has 10 barrels illustrated with movie themes, including a scene from the film “Pale Rider,” starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, of whom the head of the winery, Benjamin Romeo, is a big fan. Spain looks set to follow Italy in agreeing to prevent samesex couples from adopting Russian children; the U.K. and Israel could be next, reports say. Spain will sign an accord with Russia to ban same-sex couples from adopting Russian children, according to reports. The move allows straight Spanish couples access to children who otherwise would have been off limits, thanks to Russia’s discriminatory adoption policy that prevents same-sex couples from adopting Russian children. The accord will be signed in January. The agreement would open up the possibility for Spanish heterosexual couples to adopt Russian children once again as long as Spain makes a commitment to keep Russian children from being adopted by same-sex couples. Last August the Russian Supreme Court ... ordered a hold on any proceedings with countries that allow gay marriage until there was a bilateral accord guaranteeing the children would not be raised by homosexuals including in the case of orphans. Since then 500 Spanish families have been affected and, as a result, negotiations between Madrid and Moscow had intensified. So far Italy is the only other country to have signed such a unilateral deal with Russia, but a Voice of Russia report says the United Kingdom and Israel are considering similar moves. The battle of ‘Enfarinats’ may be the biggest food fight ever recorded, and it involved the deadly mixture of eggs, flour and firecrackers, between the townspeople of Ibi, Spain, to celebrate the Els Enfarinats festival. Citizens battled it out with bags of flour and trays of eggs and came out looking barely recognisable. The tradition involves a group of married men, called Els Enfarinats, taking control of the town for the day and imposing a ridiculous set of rules including a host of hefty fines. Opponents, the La Oposicio group, try to stop them - and this food fight was the result of the conflict this year. At the end of the day the money collected from the fines is donated to charitable causes in the village. The festival has been celebrated since 1981 after the town of Ibi recovered the tradition, but the origins remain unknown. Spanish national newspaper La Gaceta has scrapped its print edition, a spokeswoman said on Monday, as it fights to survive a financing crisis in the recession-damaged country’s media, the strongly conservative newspaper, which was founded in 1989 employs about 60 people. “The newspaper will continue, but online -- that is what we will focus on,” a spokeswoman told AFP. She was unable to say what the impact would be on jobs. La Gaceta launched as an economic paper in 1989 before converting to general news, part of the Intereconomia media group that also runs a television channel and a radio station. It is a high-profile casualty of a finance crisis that has shut down hundreds of Spanish media organisations over the past five years, during which Spain has gone through two recessions. In November, authorities in Valencia shut down the indebted regional broadcaster RTVV, which employed 1,700 people. The Federation of Journalists’ Associations of Spain estimates the job losses at 10,500 since 2009.

oRE than 11 million foreign tourists visited the Balearic Islands between January and november this year. That it 7.2 per cent more than the same period last year, according to the Tourist Movements at the Frontier survey released by

the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism. Cataluña was the most popular destination with 14.8 million tourists, 7.4 per cent more, followed by the Balearic Islands. The leading destination in November was the Canary Islands, with 1.07 million tourists, 17.9 per cent more than in the same month last year.

In the whole of Spain, there were 3.3 million foreign tourists in November, 9.3 per cent more than in the same month last year. Most of the foreign tourists this year were from the UK, amounting to 13.7 million, which is 4.6 per cent more than last year, although the highest rise was in the number of Scandinavian tourists, which rose 17.4 per cent to 4.49 million in total.

Oldest Human DNA Reveals Genetic Secrets

CIEnTISTS have reconstructed a near complete mitochondrial genome of an ancient human relative, whose remains were found in Sima de los Huesos (“pit of bones”) in northern Spain. It is the oldest DnA to be recovered from an early humanlike species The mysteries of our genetic make-up unravel a little more everyday with the advances in science and technology. The recent DNA

discovery in Northern Spain add to its complex history, with “genetic secrets, via bone fragments from a femur.” Svante Paabo, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and senior author of the study, said: “It’s quite clear that this is not a direct ancestor of people today. Instead, this representative of an early human-like species, called Homo heidelbergensis, could be an ancestor of both Neanderthals and another group called the Denisovans. The genetic

relationship to Denisovans, discovered through this DNA research, is surprising because the Homo heidelbergensis remains found in the cave have many Neanderthal-like features. The only remnants of Denisovans come from Siberia -- a long way from Spain.” “It’s sort of an open question really what this means, and I think further research into the nuclear genome of these hominins will address that,” Paabo added. Chris Stringer, researcher at the Natural History Museum in London, who was not involved in the study,

added: “Paabo and colleagues used a new method for sequencing ancient, degraded genetic material to put together the 400,000-yearold specimen’s mitochondrial genome. It is the oldest DNA ever found outside permafrost conditions. The retrieval of such ancient human DNA is a major technical achievement, and promises further recovery of such material from other fossils in this time range, both in the Sima and elsewhere, where we would not previously have expected it, or looked for it,”

immigrants rescued off motril

Whale Weigh station

oRTY-onE sub-Saharan immigrants consisting of 36 men, six women and a four-yearold girl that were travelling in a dinghy, have been rescued off the coast of Motril.

The immigrants were rescued after the Maritime Safety Service and the Guardia Civil received a call from Morocco informing them of a dinghy that left the city of Al Hoceima in the early hours of the morning. A ferry covering the Melilla-Malaga route eventually spotted the vessel 55 miles off the coast of Motril, although the rescue was difficult due to rough weather and waves of up to two metres high, sources said. They were in good health, although some of them had minor hypothermia and two of the women were taken to the Motril Regional Hospital for a medical check-up as they were pregnant, sources at the Cruz Roja Red Cross said.

ASSERSBY were left scratching their heads last week in Valencia when they saw what looked like a beached sperm whale, lying in the car park of the railway station. The oceanografic, the marine park at Valencia’s City of Arts and

Sciences, said the realisticlooking 48-foot, 9-inch long sperm whale that baffled passersby last Monday at the city’s north Station railway hub, was a scale model used for a rescue drill Friday at the las Arenas beach was a model used for rescue drills.

The marine park said the mock whale, which remained on display at North Station until December 29th, was brought to the beach for a drill, due to Oceanografic staff being called upon 36 times during the past year to rescue washed up or trapped sea creatures. The incidents included four dolphins, a shark and a red tuna.

mum throws Baby Wind Biggest power out of Window generator in 2013

SPAnISH woman who gave birth in secret on Christmas Eve, cut the umbilical chord herself and threw the newborn out of the kitchen window, police said last Friday. The 35-year-old woman, who lived with her parents in eastern Madrid, was detained on suspicion of attempting to kill the baby, police said.

A police spokesman said: “The baby boy is now in hospital in a serious condition. The woman wrapped the baby in a pair of jeans and threw it out of the kitchen window into an interior patio,” police said in a statement. The mother had kept her pregnancy a se-

cret from her parents, she cut the umbilical chord herself after giving birth in the early hours of the morning and then threw the child out of the kitchen window, about 2.2 metres (seven feet) above an interior patio, shortly afterwards she suffered heavy bleeding and asked her parents to take her to hospital. Police said: “Later, at about 8.30 am, the grandmother of the newborn went into the kitchen and, looking out of the window, saw a baby in the patio.

CCoRDIng to provisional figures from grid operator Red Eléctrica de España (REE), for the first time ever, wind provided more power to the Spanish electricity system than any other generation technology, a massive 21.1% of Spain’s power will have come from wind this year. The national wind association, Asociación Empresarial Eólica (AEE) is checking data

before it confirms Spain to be the first country to pass that annual milestone, but based on a mix of real figures and estimates for the final of the year, REE calculates wind will have produced 21.1% the 246.17TWh of electricity consumed in Spain by end-2013, pipping nuclear’s 21.0% at the post. Coal is the next biggest power provider (14.6%) followed by large hydro (14.4%). Combined, REE reckons all

renewables generation will have covered 42.4% of demand this year. In 2011, wind power provided 17.1% of electricity generation in the country, and 18.1% in 2012. This year’s figure is a 12% increase on 2012’s figure. AEE estimates wind to have saved over 2.7 billion euro in fuel imports in 2013 and claims wind has slashed wholesale electricity prices, which marked 7.69 euro/MWh on the day of highest wind penetration (February 2), down from 93.11 euro/MWh on the day of least wind penetration (December 8).

faKe designer goods ring smasHed

Over the past two years counterfeit items were distributed at a profit of 5.5 million Euros, the counterfeit items were made in illegal factories in Portugal and then shipped to distributors in north-western Spain. Officers in northern Portugal have closed 10 factories where the fake goods were made. According to the Spanish interior ministry, part of the money was held at two mosques in the cities of Ourense and Xinzo de Limia. A total of 99 people have been arrested, including the imam of the mosque of Xinzo de Limia. Officials said the

mosque received nearly 100,000 Euros. The imam at the mosque in the nearby city of Ourense was also detained. Police suspect him of helping to launder the money. The interior ministry said in a statement: “The network, of Moroccan origin, had ‘regional delegates’ across Spain who distributed over the past two years 235 tonnes of fake garments and footwear. Part of this black money was hidden along with bank cards and other financial documents belonging to the organisation in the mosques of Ourense and Xinzo de Limia.”

HIS may come as no surprise to the many female tourists who are swept off their feet by their waiter, Jose, but Spanish men have been voted the world’s best lovers, according to an international poll. The term “lie back and think of England” maybe being taken too literally by some, as England came secondlast last – after german men – for being ‘too lazy’ in bed.

The top five went – Spain, Brazil, Italy, France and Ireland. Spanish men were considered ‘natural and self-confident’ between the sheets, while Germans came last for being ‘too smelly.’ The other UK nations did a little better than the English, the Welsh at 7th worst were ‘too selfish’, while 8th worst were the Scots who are ‘too loud.’ The Greeks are ‘too warm,’ Turkish men are ‘too sweaty,’ while Russian men were found to be the 10th worst, because they are ‘too hairy.’

PAIn’S national police, acting along with an unidentified uS security agency have arrested six Romanians and two Moroccans, eight members of a global banking hacking network responsible for stealing more than uS$60 million from cash machines worldwide.

unreliable statistics (and n politicians), of 2013.

oW that 2013 is over we can reflect on how, as with just about every year, uK voters were subjected to their fair share of lies and the blurring of lines in order to make the mess made by the government seem not quite as bad, or worse depending on which side the politician in question was lying for. It was the year that 800,000 people were lifted out of fuel poverty – by a change in the definition. Here are the worst fudged stats of the year

Ed Miliband told us: “Only crisis-hit Spain has higher numbers of young unemployed people than the UK.” The truth is that’s meaningless, the UK has a lot more of everything than most European countries, because it has a lot more people than most European countries. What matters if you’re making a comparison with other countries is not how many under-25s are unemployed, but what percentage of them. In that regard, the UK is 10th best out of 27. Grant Shapps said: “Nearly a million people have come off incapacity benefit … before going for the test. They’ve taken themselves off.” Wrong! The number, referred to the 873,000 new applicants for the Employment Support Allowance

(which replaced incapacity benefit) who ended their claims between October 2008 and May 2012 (ie people who never had any disability benefits to come off anyway). Iain Duncan Smith reliably informed us: “Already we’ve seen 8,000 people who would have been affected by the [benefits] cap move into jobs. This clearly demonstrates that the cap is having the desired impact.” We’ve seen no such thing. What Duncan Smith was referring to, in a press release in April, was the number of potentially affected people who had got jobs through job centres since they were told about the cap. This doesn’t mean that being told about the cap was the reason for it, however. People find jobs in job centres all the time. George Osborne ranted: “The Crown Prosecution Service prints one million pieces of paper every day. In the age of the internet and emails that surely isn’t necessary.” As far as we know this number is accurate. It was mentioned as one of the proposals that Osborne favoured for saving money from the justice system. Radio 4’s magnificent statistics programme More or Less made an estimate. The CPS deals with around 1.5m cases each year, so it is printing roughly 250 pages per case. More Or Less reckons that must cost around £7m (£2m for the paper, £5m for the ink). This takes us to a total paperwork spend of £5 per case, not all which could actually be cut, of course.

40 stone CELEB NET Woman DEATHS OF 2013 dies as oBesity epidemiC inCreases S

InCE the dawn o f the internet way b a c k in 1995 online celebrity death hoaxes have been a mainstay, and last year was no exception.

singer were sent into a panic.

Here’s who we sadly lost in 2013... But not really. Megan Fox went first, not very imaginatively when she was forced to join Twitter after “RIP Megan Fox” began trending. This is brilliant, after a hashtag misreading ‘Now Thatcher’s dead’ came out as ‘Now that Cher’s dead’; fans of the plastic faced

irefighters in north Yorkshire were forced to use heavy lifting gear, including heavy duty straps commonly used by haulage companies, to move Britain’s fattest woman, who died weighing 40 stone, after paramedics were unable to lift her body from her family home.

Paramedics found they could not move her body from the house and called North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service to assist with specialist equipment to take the housebound mother-of-one to a mortuary. However, she then had to be moved to another site with extra-large fridge doors and heavy lifting equipment. A fire service spokesman said her size made the operation difficult: ‘We assisted the ambulance and the undertaker to move a deceased patient using strops and manpower.’ Rita Atkinson, 65, of Hellifield, North Yorkshire, died earlier this month at the bungalow she shared with her husband Roy, 64. In February it was reported that Britain’s fattest woman was Brenda Flanagan-Davies, 43, who weighs 40 stone and is so big that she has not left her house in four years. Once as heavy as 45 stone, the Gateshead resident was named the heaviest women in the UK following the death of 45-stone Sharon Mevsimler in 2010. However, it is thought Mrs Atkinson may have weighed more. For the first time in history, obesity is killing more people than malnutrition and statistics have revealed the shocking extent of the country’s fast-spreading obesity epidemic. Around 15 million Britons are obese and it is estimated that this will cost the UK a staggering £27 billion by 2016.

Rihanna puncher Chris Brown died in August of a seizure according to the net. A death hoax favourite form of demise this one, Chloe Grace Moretz was rumoured to have died in a tragic snowboarding accident. The young actress went on a Twitter rant – slamming the individuals who had started the hoax. She mainly seemed to be cross that it wasn’t even snowing in Switzerland at the time (although it probably was snowing in the Alps, Chloe…). “The Fly” actor Jeff Goldblum has probably been death hoaxed more than anyone, although no one really knows why, in 2013 it was mainly heart attacks and falling off cliffs. Comedian Adam Sandler is another that’s always getting topped, the poor guy

was killed - you guessed it, snowboarding. Is snowboarding the most dangerous pastime ever? For celebrity who keep fake dying it is, Eddie Murphy dies snowboarding most years, including last year. Lil Wayne, who is actually an epileptic, died every time he had a seizure. Jackie Chan was killed so many times he assured his concerned manager: ‘No, no… don’t worry, before I die I’ll call you.’ Sickest Twitter hoax death of the year has to go to the idiot starting rumours that Bindi, the 15-yearold daughter of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin had died. Stay classy, Twitter.

MISTLETOE May Fight Cancer I

T MIgHT be a little late for this Christmas but the festive bush may be an effective ally when fighting against certain types of cancer. Several studies on the plant conducted in Europe, and mainly in germany, have shown its effectiveness against this disease. Carried out between 1993 and 2000, tests showed how mistletoe extract administered in conjunction with chemotherapy, relieved the adverse symptoms of in 800 patients with colorectal cancer, and studies at the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the National Cancer Institute in the US seemed to show similar positive results. Two research groups in the US are currently investigating the benefits of mistletoe extract in cancer treatment after receiving the government’s approval.

artist Creates most Lifelike sculptures ever

onDon-BASED sculptor Ron Mueck has created hyper-realistic models of humans that could be the most life-like ever created.

Mueck, who used to be a model maker and puppeteer for childrens’ television and films,has been creating fine art sculptures since 1996 and specialises in realistic sculp-

tures. His latest, “Spooning Couple,” may look like a couple lying on a mattress, but in fact they are hyper-realistic sculptures of humans, displayed on a stone slab for an exhibition. Their skin stretches and folds gently, hair protrudes from their pores and light reflects off the tangible sheens of sweat across their body as

they spoon in bed. Mr Mueck only turned to fine art for his living in his 30s - he was previously a model maker and puppeteer for childrens’ television and films - he worked as gentle giant Ludo, on the 1986 film Labyrinth. He begins a piece by sculpting in clay, he then makes a plaster mould around the form and then replaces the

clay with a mixture of fibreglass, silicone and resin. Some of his figures are alarmingly large, while others are pintsized - although they are equally realistic regardless of their dimensions. In 1997, in the exhibition Sensation at the Royal Academy Mueck displayed an unsettling half-sized version of his own father laid out naked, the only piece of work in

which he used his own hair. Another one of his most shocking creations is a giant newborn baby, covered in blood with the umbilical cord still attached. In a rare interview he said: ‘I don’t think of them as mannequins. On one hand, I try to create a believable presence; and, on the other hand, they have to work as objects. They aren’t living

persons, although it’s nice to stand in front of them and be unsure whether they are or not. But ultimately, they’re fiberglass objects that you can pick up and carry. If they succeed as fun things to have in the room, I’m happy. At the same time, I wouldn’t be satisfied if they didn’t have some kind of presence that made you think they’re more than just objects.’

piranhas attack Christmas Bathers

lesh-eating piranhas attacked a group of Christmas Day swimmers in Argentina, injuring 60 people. According to local news reports, the mass attack happened as dozens of people took to the waters at the Paraná River in the city of Rosario, Argentina. The deadly razor toothed fish attacked more than 20 children and roughly 40 adults, biting on their hands and feet as

they took to the water to cool down from the scorching summer heat. The fish are believed to have been

the

area due to fish remains discarded by fishermen. Coastguards helped people from the water and paramedics attended to those with deep cuts on the beach. A seven-year-old child had to have part of their finger amputated, a doctor on the scene, Gustavo Centurion, described the attack as ‘very aggressive,’ being the most severe of its kind since 40 people were injured in 2008. L o c a l government spokesman Ricardo Biasatti described the attack as a rarity.

tHe euro is 15!

n January 4th, 1999, for the first time since Charlemagne’s reign in the ninth century, Europe was united with a common currency when the “euro” debuted as a financial unit in corporate and investment markets. Eleven European union (Eu) nations (Austria, Belgium, Finland,

France, g e r m a ny,

Ireland, Italy, luxembourg, the netherlands, Portugal and Spain), representing some 290 million people,

launched the currency in the hopes of increasing European integration and economic g r o w t h . Closing at a robust 1.17 u.S. dollars on its

first day, the euro promised to give the dollar a run for its money in the new global economy. Euro cash,

benefits of a common currency that would make it easier to do business and travel throughout Europe, there were concerns that the changeover process would be costly and c h a o t i c ,

a c t u a l notes and coins decorated with architectural images, symbols of European unity and memberstate motifs, went into circulation on January 1, 2002 (so it’s also kind of 12), replacing the Austrian schilling, Belgian franc, Finnish markka, French franc, german mark, Italian lira, Irish punt, luxembourg franc, netherlands guilder, Portugal escudo and Spanish peseta. A number of territories and nonEu nations including Monaco and Vatican City also adopted the

euro. T h e e u r o w a s established by the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European union, which spelled out specific economic requirements, including high degree of price stability and low inflation, which countries must meet before they can begin using the new money. The euro consists of 8 coins and 7 paper bills. Great Britain, Sweden and Demark opted not to use the euro, believing that despite the practical

encourage counterfeiting, lead to inflation and cause individual nations to lose control over their economic policies. Greece, after initially being excluded for failing to meet all the required conditions, adopted the euro in January 2001, becoming the 12th member of the so-called eurozone. In 2004, 10 more countries joined the EU - Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Can We Return To A Non Sexy Doctor?

long time ago in an England far far away, families would finish their Findus crispy pancakes and the amazing new invention; chips that you could cook in the oven! On a Saturday evening they would settle down to watch a weird old bloke in a time travelling blue police box, take on an endless stream of unconvincing rubber monsters on wobbly cardboard sets… and the nation loved it! Then for whatever reason we stopped watching and it was cancelled. For years and years only the hardcore Whovians kept the Timelord’s memory alive with fan fiction and con-

ventions and the odd campaign to bring him back. It happened for a brief moment in the 90’s with the Paul McGann movie and then,in 2005, Russell T Davies finally got his wish and the Doctor was bigger than he’d ever been.

But things had changed, not only were the monsters much more realistic and the sets decidedly non -wobbly, the Doctor had become sexy, Paul McGann SNOGGED his companion! Christopher Eccleston wore a leather jacket, every one of David Tennant’s companions “would have” (you know what), and Matt Smith was the youngest, sexiest (in a weird sort of way) Doctor yet, who dated a model in real life and who even the TARDIS fancied! From the original crusty old grandpa to a pinup teenage girls talk about in the playground, the ever evolving Doctor has adapted to the 21st century so very well. But it’s all just changed again. Christmas Day saw the Doctor regenerate from Matt Smith into Peter Capaldi, a fine actor but at 55 years of age, he must seem as old as the Timelord he’s portraying, to some of the younger fans. Of course the older incarnations of classic Who were extremely popular with the younger fans, but those were more innocent times and the Doctor seemed virtually sexless compared to the pin-up Doctors of New Who, will going back to that kind of traditional, older, trickier and fiercer Doctor, lose any of its female fans? Still it will be fun to watch no matter how it works out, especially watching Clara adjust to a completely different Doctor,and as showrunner Steven Moffat puts it: “Just as Clara’s learning to have a proper old crush on him, suddenly he’s Malcolm Tucker!”

Batman Vs Superman News

atest news from the Man of Steel sequel is that it’s definitely NOT the long awaited Justice League movie, even though Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman have already been cast and Nightwing AND possibly Martian Manhunter look likely to appear, but it’s not the Justice League movie. Honest.

Ever since the announcement that “Batfleck” would be facing off against Henry Cavill’s son of Krypton, questions on the net were rife as to whom else from the DC

canon we could expect. Recently Warner Bros announced the casting of Israeli model Gal Gadot as Diana Prince, aka Amazonian Goddess Wonder Woman, making 3 major players from the JLA. But it doesn’t end there, it seems new Conan and Game of Thrones Heman, Jason Momoa has also signed up for the sequel, leading to much online speculation that he could be cast as JLA member number 4, Martian Manhunter. Of course this is pure speculation, he could just as easily be a fit for Superman killer, the Kryptonian genetically engineered Doomsday. Regardless of which part he eventually will be confirmed for, with both

Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Brit Mark Strong mentioned as potential Lex Luthors - one thing is clear, Warner Bros are not afraid to make this sequel a huge ensemble piece, much like the Marvel cash cow Avengers. Of course, Marvel’s meticulously planned Phase 1, with it’s solo outings for Iron Man, Cap America, Thor and Hulk laying the foundations and formally introducing the main 4, but with a brand new Batman, Wonder Woman and possibly Martian Manhunter and Nightwing all debuting in the same film, the question is, can all these big names get the attention they deserve? Summer 2015 will have the answer.

T THE time of year when champagne is at its most popular, England’s tiny sparkling wine industry is set for a lift as established brands step up export plans and newcomers join the party. English sparkling wine remains a drop in the ocean compared to its continental cousins, but producers aren’t cheap, selling at an average of 25 pounds ($40.89) a bottle even as many cost-conscious Britons turn from champagne to cheaper cava from Spain and prosecco from Italy. Julian Kirk, head of sales for West Sussex winemaker Nyetimber, one o f the longest-established names in English sparkling wine and owner of 10 percent of the country’s vineyards says: “We see our selves a s a luxury brand and we have to be

Spain, France and Italy together control 87 percent of the market, though Spain recently pulled ahead of France because of the popularity of cava as a low-cost enjoyable sparkling wine.

SHarPLeS in SeSSiOn By John Sharples

nothing “Compere’s” I

to you

he compere or, if it’s a female, Commere’s function in a bar or a hotel is a varied and extremely important one. They are the glue that holds the whole evening together and it is vital that the person running the show is capable of reading an audience like a

book and entertaining them with chat, song and comedy. A good compere wants everything to be spot-on for the audience. He is the eyes and ears of a venue. Not only do the members of the audience share their views about the entertainment with him, he can see when a spotlight bulb needs replacing. He knows when there are sound problems and how to correct them.

He knows which acts are the best for his venue, which in turn, Fills the Tills! However, a bad compere can ruin a good venue. So many of the Vocalists I know tell me that some comperes turn the volume down when the act comes on, or remove some of the (reverb) echo from the microphone. Why? Well, it’s down to ego really. Can’t these poor insecure souls see that if their venue is rocking and people are enjoying themselves, that they get the overall credit at the end of the night. W h o is your f a vourite

compere on the island. Let me know via our facebook page or via the editor!

superstitions in entertainment

t never ceases to amaze me how superstitious entertainers are. It is rife in us thespians. There are so many things that can go wrong with a show that these superstitions have built up and become a comfort zone. It is a way of pacifying the nerves and making sure that everything is well with the world.

Many of entertainment’s superstitions have origins that are lost in the mists of time. My Grandfather was a seasoned actor, treading the boards of many theatres in productions across the UK. He, like many other actors, believed in the superstitions of the theatre world and tried to abide by them. When he won his career changing part in Coronation Street, these traditions were not lost, in fact he became more superstitious than ever. He had the three wise monkeys in his dressing room and also, a furry lion. He called it S’lion and when any-

one asked what it was, he’d say, S’lion. They were comfort zones and important to him in his own small way. So, let’s take a look at some of the superstitions that live on, even to this day in many of us entertainers!. BREAK A LEG: You should never say Good Luck to an entertainer, you should say … “Break a leg!” History is rife with warnings against wishing your friends good luck. Saying good luck was seen as tempting fate, it was thought to be better to outwit the demons by wishing each other bad luck. Also, bowing was at one time, referred to as taking a knee. An artiste would bend down to one knee, breaking the line of the leg (break a leg), wishing that the performer will do so well so that he needs to take a bow. WHISTLING BACKSTAGE: It is bad luck to whistle backstage. In the old Theatre days, ex-sailors were hired to raise and lower the scenery. They used a system of whistling cues to each other, so someone whistling backstage could cause a heavy piece of scenery to come crashing down on an unsuspecting actor’s head. Clapping backstage is also considered bad luck for the same reasons. BLACK CATS: A black cat is considered bad luck by most people, but not by entertainers. In fact, it is the reverse. They think it brings good luck. In the old days of theatre, some actors would even bring a black cat backstage! As entertainers, we have two Saints on our side. They are St. Genesius and St. Vitus. St. Genesius is said to have been a comedian who converted to Christianity. Whilst performing on stage he had a revelation and refused to continue to make fun of Christianity. He was tortured, torn with hooks, beheaded, and burned on stage. His feast day is August 25. St Vitus exorcised an Emperor’s son of evil spirits that caused him to twitch uncontrollably. Despite the fact that he cured his son, the emperor was furious that Vitus was a Christian and accused him of sorcery, putting him into a vat of boiling water. Legend has it that he emerged unharmed, and an angel helped him escape from Rome. He is the patron saint of comedians and dancers and His feast day is June 15.

Baracking Bad

ou can criticise America’s foreign policy and the general state of the united States government, but whatever you do, don’t tell President Barack obama what happens to Walter White in the final series of Breaking Bad, as he’s working his way through it, and regularly warns his people not to spoil it for him! He’s also a fan of Netflix Political thriller House of Cards, recently during a meeting he was heard to say:

“I’m just wondering if Netflix CEO Reed Hastings brought advance copies of House of Cards, I wish things were that ruthlessly efficient. It’s like Kevin Spacey, man this guy’s getting a lot of stuff done!” The President has recently admitted to TV Guide that he’s a fan of several other shows: “I am a big fan of Homeland and Boardwalk Empire, and I think The Wire is one of the greatest shows of all time — and I confess I am an avid watcher of Sports Center. Michelle and the girls and I love watching Modern Family.” In fact, Obama is such a big fan of the twisty turny Emmy award winning show Homeland, the stars sent him a signed DVD,

Question one: In Hinduism, what is the law whereby consequences of actions in this life are carried over into the next?

Question Two: Which great English sailor was buried at sea off Panama in a lead coffin?

Question Three: What was the first English newspaper to reach a daily sale of one million copies? Question Four: What was opened to the public for the first time in 1993 to help with rebuilding costs at Windor Castle? Question Five: In Japanese culture, what is hari-kiri? Question Six: England’s Peak District is composed of what rock? Question Seven: What comes next: Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O? Question Eight: Which planet in our own solar system orbits closest to

the Sun?

Question nine: What unit is used to measure resistance? Question Ten: Which red high-performance cars bear the famous “Prancing Horse” badge? Question Eleven: Which type of camel has two humps?

and star Damien Lewis, who plays double agent Nicholas Brody, thought his message might get him into trouble with the real US government: “Claire Danes had written something really lovely and sweet saying, ‘I was a fan of yours long before you were a fan of ours, I thought I’d think of something great and funny...and wrote: ‘From one Muslim to another’ in an indelible Sharpie. And I couldn’t take it back.” Of course, the 41-year-old actor then went into a mini-panic, wondering whether the president might take offense. “I was then writing emails for the whole of the next week going, ‘I do hope he understands irony.”

because dragon trees are not proper trees but are gigantic plants that grow in the form of a tree. Normal methods of establishing the age by rings inside the trunk do not apply. The age of a dragon tree can only be estimated unless you know what year it was planted. It doesn’t really matter how old the Drago Milenario is though because it is a magnificent specimen with a mighty trunk and a huge head of smaller branches that fan outwards and remind us of the mythical100-headed dragon that Hercules killed. Standing under a dragon tree it is very easy to fall into worlds of fantasy and wonder. These trees look prehistoric in many ways and the weird way they have aerial roots hanging down adds to their mysterious appearDragon Tree Berries ance. Dragon trees, or dragos, as they are known in Spanish, also exude a resinous sap if cut and this dries into a dark red resin known as dragon’s blood. It is said to have magical and healing properties. Icod’s most famous dragon tree stands in the Parque del Drago and excursion buses take groups of visitors to the island to see it. It is well worth going to Dragon Tree Grown view and the park it stands in has many interesting features too, From Seed including a collection of endemic trees, shrubs and wild flowThe Drago Milenario, you see, ers and caves with replicas of is said to be 1,000-years-old and Guanche life (the Guanches lived the oldest and biggest dragon on Tenerife before the Spanish tree anywhere in the world.

So well-known is the “Drago Milenario” that it is recognised as an official plant symbol of the island, has its own park and attracts thousands of tourists each year who come to marvel at it.

that way. It has a huge head that fans out in characteristic mushroom-shape that old dragon trees acquire with age. This old tree can be seen free of charge, unlike the Drago Milenario, which has an admission fee if you want to get up closer to it in the park. It is also very interesting because it has a beehive inside its trunk and you can watch the insects coming and going through a crack in the bark. There are many more notable dragon trees around Tenerife and every town and city has one or more very big one of its own. These trees all have their own character which has been fashioned by time and the weather. There is a particularly spectacular one quite near the main road going into Los Realejos (Bajo) on the San Vicente and Tigaiga side of the town. You can see it easily from the bus route. There are other large dragon trees in Los Realejos and some great specimens in La Orotava. This latter town once had a dragon tree that was much older and bigger than the Drago Milenario but it was destroyed by a storm long ago. I like to look out for dragon trees as I travel around Tenerife. There is a very impressive one in the village of San Juan del Reparo, a rural hamlet just before El Tanque. It has the usual large

head of branches that fan out above the gnarled trunk below. I can’t say I know of any very big dragon trees in the south of the island though. I am not sure why because they do grow there. Perhaps it is all the rains we get in the north that helps them grow into massive specimens? Although they take a very long time to grow into large trees, dragon trees can be germinated easily from seed. They take about a month before they sprout a tiny green shoot but it is well worth waiting for. You can find the orange ber-

ries on trees that have flowered and often there are plenty that have fallen off and are on the ground beneath their parent. Each berry has a hard seed inside it underneath the thin layer of edible flesh. Shops sell the seeds for over one euro for a couple of seeds and plenty of places sell the baby trees too but I think there is something far more satisfying about collecting your own seeds and growing your own little dragos. And it is a lot cheaper too!

Some interesting facts about Dragon Trees

ragon trees are in the Asparagaceae plant family, though some sources have placed the plant in the Agavaceae. Dragon trees only grow wild in the Canary Islands, Cape Verde

and Madeira. The dragon tree is a protected species under Annexe II of the Flora Order. Dragon tree sap has been used to make varnishes and lacquers. Dragon’s blood resin is said to be remedy for gum disease and

good for treating ulcers. Dragon trees do not branch until after they have flowered for the first time. Ancient herbalists placed the dragon tree under the dominion of Mars, the Red Planet and god of war.

Also known as the Bard of Ely, the Green Bard has a Green Beard, as can be seen in the photo. He is an expert on nature and loves to write about wildlife and conservation. He has a very wide knowledge of edible plants, foraging and herbs.

He was quoted as a “Weed expert” in The Ecologist. The Green Bard, though originally from Cardiff in Wales, is currently based in Tenerife where he has successfully reared many Monarch butterflies on plants grown on his apartment balcony. In May, 2012, at the English Library in Puerto de la Cruz he gave a talk on the Flora and Fauna of Tenerife to a full house and has been invited back to be a guest speaker again.

Aquarius 20 January to 18 February

Body Found In New Zealand

A restless feeling might make it hard to focus on festive chores and tasks. Make a to-do list and check things off as you go along. December 25 could bring a message or visit out of the blue that is a little shocking and surprising. How you handle this can either make or break this festive event. A relaxed approach would be your best bet on this occasion. It’s party time later in the week, though a desire to rest and relax shouldn’t be ignored.

Pisces 19 February to 20 March

There are plenty of opportunities for fun, enjoyment, and kisses under the mistletoe. This could be a great week as long as you organize your finances so that you can relax without worrying. If you don’t, there’s a chance you could embarrass yourself if your credit card is declined or you don’t have enough cash on hand. Attending to these little details can help make the days ahead very enjoyable. Opportunities for romance or a budding liaison seem to be very much on the agenda. Take full advantage of them!

Aries 21 March to 19 April

You might need to expect the unexpected - an edgy blend of influences could make for an interesting few days ahead. There’s a chance you could lose your focus on Christmas Eve. A temptation to drop everything and get into party mode may draw you away from necessary tasks and chores. Relationships could be strained on Christmas Day even though you’re trying your hardest to keep the peace. If you can take a flexible approach, the rest of the week could be crazy but fun.

Taurus 20 April to 20 May

Perhaps you have folks visiting from faraway places who are coming to share this festive time with you. Along with the chance to enjoy being together once again, there could be a few revelations - perhaps something you hadn’t anticipated! Even though you may be busy, you’ll also need to be adaptable in order to cope with any surprises. You may be eager to plan a vacation with a friend or loved one in order to enjoy a much-deserved opportunity to relax.

gemini 21 May to 21 June

There could be an intense focus showing up for you this week as a lineup of planets occurs in the more sensitive part of your chart. Although this is an opportunity to enjoy yourself and hang out with friends and family, there could be important things to discuss, including a need to make a decision. A social event could bring a surprise that you certainly didn’t expect, which might make the days ahead even more deliciously fun. The end of the week brings an electric meeting that has sizzle power.

Cancer 22 June to 22 July

Jupiter may lift your spirits and encourage you to connect with friends and family for a fun and festive time. You may be in the party spirit on December 24, but try to get ahead of necessary tasks before you dash off into the night. Christmas Day may have you in a spin, especially if an unexpected work issue crops up just as you’re sitting down to dinner. There could be a few disruptive moments later in the week, yet a new door may open as a result.

Leo 23 July to 22 August

You might need to prepare a spare room or set extra places at the table, as you might have an unexpected visitor or two. Despite this, there are opportunities for fun, although you may need to be careful if you’re attending an office or work party. A kiss under the mistletoe could turn out to be a mistake later unless you stay ahead of the game. Later in the week a spontaneous decision could lead to an opportunity for a delightful experience.

Virgo 23 August to 22 September

The week ahead seems to positively glow with possibilities for a lively social life. You’ll have opportunities to mingle with friends, family, or business associates and enjoy every moment. However, you might also want to check that your finances are in order so you can avoid any embarrassing surprises when you need your credit card or extra cash. If you budget for unexpected expenses, you can enjoy the days ahead without worry. Remember that having fun doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

libra 23 September to 23 October

As the Sun and Mercury zip into your home zone it looks like you could be doing a lot of entertaining over the week ahead. You may be busy, but that doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself. Remember to delegate if it gets to be too much. Christmas Day may bring a disruption of some kind or other, so be prepared. A flexible approach and willingness to adapt on the spur of the moment would help. Folks you haven’t seen in some time could show up unexpectedly.

Scorpio 24 October to 21 November

A powerful link this week could mean you’re more accident prone than usual. Take extra care when driving or working with machinery. This influence operates on December 24 and December 25, so refuse to rush no matter how hassled you feel. Maintaining a peaceful mindset will help you successfully navigate through these days. You also have many opportunities to connect with friends and family members, especially those you haven’t seen for some time. A reunion may be in the cards - with some exciting information thrown into the mix.

Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

The week ahead has a strong party element, especially as your social life appears to be vital and very exciting. With the wine flowing and kisses under the mistletoe, you’ll certainly enjoy yourself. There’s also the chance of a romantic attraction out of the blue, which could be very tempting. A spontaneous decision could take you on a roller-coaster ride full of fun and delight. Chances are good that it may not last long, but you’ll enjoy it while it does.

Capricorn 22 December to 19 January

This Christmas week can be filled with warmth and happiness, although you’ll need to remain flexible and adaptable to deal with any disruptions around December 24 and December 25. Expect the unexpected. At the same time, it could be these surprising occurrences that make your day that little bit different. Mercury joins the Sun in your sign, so you’ll be eager to help with any organizing. Later, a decision to attend a party may coincide with a delicious meeting.

olICE and Rescue crews in new Zealand searching for hiker Andrew Wyatt who went missing two weeks ago have found a body at the foot of a 100m cliff in new Zealand. Mr Wyatt, from Cornwall, arrived in new Zealand in november and was walking the 3,000-kilometre (1,900-mile) Te Araroa Trail, which runs along the entire length of the country, when he went missing. They said the body had not been formally identified as that of Andrew Wyatt but it was discovered at the foot of a 100-metre (330ft) precipice that was on the 41-yearold’s intended route. Nelson Search and Rescue (NSAR) said the section between where Mr Wyatt was last seen and where he was heading was “one of the more remote and difficult parts” of the trail. NSAR coordinator Sherp Tucker said: “It’s rugged, it’s remote and the weather can change so much. It’s a frequent place for the rescue helicopter to go to beacon activations for people who are hurt.” He was last seen on December 15 in the Nelson Lakes National Park embarking on what was supposed to be a one-day hike to pick up supplies Bad weather conditions had prevented searchers from reaching the remote area until last Friday, when an air force helicopter dropped in four specialised alpine rescue crews who made the grim find. Mountain rescuers are

“confident” the body they have recovered is him. Search co-ordinator Constable Dave Cogger said Mr Wyatt, from Penryn, Cornwall, had an “unsurvivable” fall from Lake Constance Bluff. a New Zealand police spokesman said: “Police say they are confident the body recovered from Nelson Lakes National Park on Friday afternoon is that of missing British man Andrew Ian Wyatt,” Police are now trying to arrange a formal identification of the body. Mr. Wyatt’s family in Britain has been advised. Police would like to acknowledge the efforts of search and rescue volunteers from Nelson, Gold-

en Bay and Marlborough who worked alongside police officers during the operation.” Mr. Wyatt’s family was coming to terms with the loss of their son, who had not been in contact with them since December 12. His father, Donald told New Zealand newspaper The Press that he and his wife Lorna had been informed by the police that they had found his body. “We’ve lost him, it’s just a bloody shame.” The couple also lost another son, Duncan, days before Christmas three years ago. A coroner later recorded a conclusion that he had taken his own life.

mOtOring neWS By Lingy

he festive season is always a tricky time for motorists, hopefully Tenerife Weekly readers know better than to drink drive, but you still want to avoid the pain of a spot check, and then there’s the hazard of having to avoid the erratic driving of last minute Christmas shoppers fighting over parking spaces, suddenly pulling in without warning or just generally driving like a Christmas idiot. So, in recognition of every festive fool that’s broken the law while driving, here are some of the wackiest driving offences ever! An American lady managed to plough into the back of a pickup truck whilst attempting to shave her bikini line while driving. Tim Brady became Britain’s fastest convicted speeder when he was caught driving at 172mph in a Porsche. Brady was recorded driving more than 100mph over the speed limit in the Porsche 911 Turbo, which he had taken without permission from the hire car firm for which he worked. In January, a woman was given a driving ban after being caught more than twice the legal alcohol limit while riding a 2.4mph mobility scooter that she had stolen from Asda. It would have taken her more than four hours to complete the ten-mile journey home.

Omed Aziz was pulled over after taking his car for a 1km spin, despite being blind. He had managed to negotiate two traffic islands before being pulled over. Police officers only realised that Aziz was blind after he stepped out of the car and took off his sunglasses. In 2005, a car passenger was charged with drink-driving in Austria after the driver jumped into the back seat. Police charged the passenger even though he said he had to grab the wheel to stop the car going over a cliff. The original driver was also charged with drink-driving following the incident in Dornbirn. Californian police were baffled when a car thief stole a fire engine while drunk, and then rang for help when it got stuck in mud.The thief called for a tow truck on the vehicle’s radio but the fire service called police, who rushed to the scene and arrested him. A Norwegian man faced a heavy fine and a driving ban after police caught him having sex with his girlfriend while speeding on the motorway. A Los Angeles officer was surprised to find a truly bad Santa after pulling over a suspected drunk driver. Not only

was the man behind the wheel wearing a Santa hat and a purple G-string, he’d decided to spice up his outfit with a wig, red lace camisol and even black leg warmers. He eventually left custody after paying a $5,000 bail charge.

flashy force

ubai, a place best known for its splendour, everything in this desert paradise screams expensive, high end, luxurious. So it should come as no surprise that its police force has a few expensive little toys of its own and its latest addition to its squad of patrol super cars is the £170,000, 207mph McLaren MP4-12C that joins a fleet including a Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley and Ferrari. The latest add-on, built in Woking, has a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre engine that generates three times the power of the British panda car, it can accelerate from 0mph to 62mph in 3.1 seconds. Designed by Frank Stephenson, creator of the Mini Hatch and award-winning Fer-

raris, it is the first McLaren built since the F1 was discontinued in 1998. In November, it won ‘Car of the Year’ and ‘Best Supercar’ at the Middle East Motor Awards. The custom-made vehicle, painted in Dubai’s flagship green and white colours, carries a ‘2020’ number plate to celebrate the nation’s successful World Expo 2020 bid, Deaths on the road are a common occurrence in the UAE, with one person killed in a traffic incident every 26 hours. Most of these deaths are caused by speeding, driving without a seatbelt and driving while using mobile phones. Dubai police officer Mariam Ahmad patrols the streets in a Ferrari FF: ‘It is the first time I have driven a sports car. When they chose me I couldn’t believe it. Driving it is just amazing. ‘It’s funny because we hear people begging us to arrest them for any reason so they can have a tour in the Ferrari. I miss the car when I’m off duty. My Land Cruiser does not compare.’

New Secrets Of The Terracotta Warriors

Channel 4 - 20:00 - 21:00

HE DISCoVERY of China’s Terracotta Army in 1974 captured the imagination of the world. But that first dig only revealed a fraction of this enormous and extraordinary treasure. Since then, scientists have resumed work on the site, and their research has turned up a series of new discoveries about the warriors and the people who made them over two millennia ago. With exclusive access to pioneering research

conducted by UCL and the Terracotta Army Museum, this documentary reveals those new secrets. The film reveals the true extent of the site and number of warriors and that the weapons carried by the warriors were full military grade. New insights into how the figures were made, including revolutionary 3D computer modelling of the warriors’ heads, challenges the traditional explanation and changes our understanding of how sophisticated technology and society were in ancient China. Secret History showcases the best historical journalism.

The Bletchley Circle Editor Recommends ITV - 21:00 - 22:30

lIVIER award nominated actress Hattie Morahan joins Anna Maxwell Martin, Rachael Stirling, Sophie Rundle and Julie graham for four new episodes of the code-breaking thriller The Bletchley Circle, which returns to ITV at the beginning of 2014. The series, based on the lives of four extraordinary and brilliant women who worked at top-secret HQ Bletchley Park during World War II, features two self-contained stories each played out across 2 x 60 minute episodes written by series creator Guy Burt.

Set a year on from the first series in 1953, the ladies are reunited for their second case in the first two-part story when former Bletchley Park colleague, Alice Merren (Hattie Morahan) is accused of murder. Jean (Julie Graham) methodically sets to work examining the evidence and is intent on helping Alice after a distinguished scientist is discovered shot through the heart in the study of his home with Alice, gun in hand, standing over him. The evidence is stacked against her, but Jean’s instincts tell her differently and she goes to visit Alice in Holloway Prison. Alice is quietly resigned to the fact she will hang. But why has she offered no defence and why does she refuse to talk?

The Hidden World Of Britain´s Immigrants BBC 2 - 21:30 - 22:30

IllEgAl migrants, believed to number over 600,000, more than the population of Manchester, are at the sharp end of the debate about immigration in Britain - yet are frequently hidden from public view. In this powerful film, Fergal Keane, who has reported for BBC News from all over the world, finds out what life is really like for a group of illegal immigrants struggling to survive on British streets. He asks what drew them here, follows their battles to beat the system and shows how ineffective the authorities can be in dealing with them.

In Ilford in east London, he meets Shanki from India’s Punjab, who came on a tourist visa eight years ago but overstayed to work illegally. Keane uncovers the stark truth of his life now, addicted to drugs, living rough and at the centre of a criminal gang. Even though he has been imprisoned several times he hasn’t been deported because he destroyed his passport and the Border Agency can’t prove where he comes from. Keane investigates the cost to local businesses targeted by this gang and hears how previous generations of Sikh migrants are worried that illegals from India are harming their position as an established community in Ilford.

Horriﬁc Broken Shin injury caught on Camera

RAZIlIAn Martial artist Anderson Silva, who is regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time, has broken his shin in one of the most gruesome sports injuries ever to be filmed. He was competing at the ultimate Fighting Championship in las Vegas, when horrified spectators watched Silva’s

left shin bend grotesquely while he landed a kick on American Chris Weidman’s left leg one minute 16 seconds into the round. A UFC orthopaedic surgeon said Silva had broken his tibia and fibula in the lower part of his left leg. He underwent emergency surgery, but recovery could take up to six months, however, it seems likely his professional career may be over, the UFC said in a statement.

fC Barcelona player receives City tribute

urrounded by family, friends and supporters, FC Barcelona player Pedro Rodríguez ledesma, said he was “very happy” and grateful for the tribute received from the city of granadilla de Abona during which he received the gold medal for sporting merit. “It’s a membership to this proud island and I look forward to leading my country well for many years,” said the player in the hall of the Consistory, where he was joined by Mayor Jaime gonzález Cejas, the municipal corporation, his parents, his wife and son, plus audience. The Blaugrana Granadillero player thanked the council, said he felt privileged and excited on a day called “special” for being in the town where he played for

years before starting to play for FC Barcelona. After receiving the gold medal and signing the book of honors and distinctions, Pedro went to the balcony of the town hall and waved to people who were waiting outside in the square Mena González. Mayor Jaime González Cejas, congratulated the athlete and his entire family, in addition to highlighting this just and fitting tribute by the City to emphasize the perseverance of the Tenerife athlete in overcoming difficulties in playing football. Pedro began his football career in a village team. “Pedro Rodriguez is an irreplaceable example of effort and struggle, perseverance and know how,” said the local mayor, who also joked and asked the Tenerife born player “less passes to Messi and more goals for him.” Pedro Rodríguez has been commended throughout his career for his fair play and nobility in his

behavior, both on and off the field, as well as respect for his opponents. As a child he was passionate about soccer practice, and humble beginnings imposed the need to overcome the economic c o n straints to develop his early football career at Club San Raqui Isidro, Granadilla de Abona.

Schumacher In A Coma

ormula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher is in a coma in hospital after undergoing emergency brain surgery following a skiing accindent in which he suffered a head injury.

The German, 44, who has won seven world championships and secured 91 race victories during a 19-year career in Formula 1, retired from F1 for a second time in 2012. Schumacher was skiing in Meribel, France when he banged his head on a rock. Although he was wearing a helmet, he was taken by helicopter to hospital in Moutiers before being moved to Grenoble. BBC Radio 5 live F1 correspondent James Allen initially said: “The injury is serious, but not life threatening.” Schumacher’s spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said in a statement: “We ask for understanding that we cannot give out continuous information about his health. “He was wearing a helmet and was not alone. No one else was involved in the fall.”

The German is receiving the attention of Professor Gerard Saillant, a close ally and friend of Schumacher and his former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt. Saillant is an expert in brain and spine injury. He oversaw Schumacher’s medical care when the German broke his leg in the 1999 British GP. After the surgery it was revealed at a press conference that brain surgeons battled throughout the night to save the life of the 44-year-old following the horrific fall on Sunday. He is still ‘fighting for his life’ and remains in a coma, said his anaesthetist Jean-Francois Payen, who added: ‘We are working hour by hour’. Speaking at a press conference at the Grenoble Hospital, in eastern France, Mr Payen added: ‘We judge him to be in a very serious situation. We cannot tell what the outcome will be yet. ‘We are working hour-by-hour but it’s too early to say what is going to happen and to have a prognosis. We think his helmet did help, without a helmet he wouldn’t be here now.’ On Sunday night, the Dauphine Libere newspaper in Grenoble reported that the German’s life was in danger. Its report read: ‘The state of health of the veteran driver has worsened and his condition is considered lifethreatening, according to our information.’

Final Thriller Oozing With Goals A tough one to call, Real Madrid had won all their games but Espanyol had got better as the tournament unfolded, it turned into a treat for Canal Plus viewers all over Spain and especially the 7,500 fans that packed into the stadium. Espanyol came out all guns blazing, nicolas forced a save and Arnau hit the bar. Marcos was prompt-

ing Real’s best moves down the right and Pedro, the youngest player in the tournament showed plenty of his skills. Reda made the breakthrough, tall and bustling, like an old style English forward, he was everywhere sniffing for a half chance, after 13 minutes he pounced with a great header. Just before the end of the first 20 minutes he made another opening and Alejandro drilled the ball in the net. Espanyol looked comfort-

able but after the break the coach used the roll on roll off sub rule to rest Reda and Alejandro and it let Madrid back in. Real put the pressure on and Diego revived their chances with a well taken volley. Espanyol brought their two strongest players back and took control again, Kilian was through on goal but replacement Real goalie Alejandro raced out to deprive him with a strong challenge. The tiny Nicholas was making his mark on the game and added a third goal, but Madrid

showed great character to hit back switching to the other end for Diego to score for Madrid to set up a tense last few minutes. Espanyol weren’t going to let this go and as their celebrations at the final whistle showed their delight. Real Madrid played a full part in a memorable game and as Espanyol brought the trophy down from the presentation box the Real players formed a guard of honour for them – a gesture that summed up the spirit of this tournament. Don’t let the cynics get to you – football has plenty to look forward to, Arona was privileged to get a glimpse of 156 future stars, they were all a credit to their sport.

one eye on the iberostar tenerife Window for Cd tenerife shooting High for 2014 Y W ith the team not back in action until 4 January off field matters are on everyone’s minds at CD Tenerife. The January transfer window is now open and President Miguel Concepcion has said that a few new players can be brought in, as long as some dead wood is cleaned out.

The big concern for fans is the future of rising star Ayoze Perez, he is worth millions to the club and boosted his worth in last Monday nights charity game in Real Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium. A star player from each Segunda division team played for the UNICEF charity Champions For Life and raised 550,000 euros for the Philippines appeal. Ayoze had 30 minutes for the East team and scored a good goal as they beat the West 8-6. CD Tenerife need to build on a winning 2013, the B team are in second place in their Tercera division group and in fine form with a 6-1 win last week. Many of the clubs best young prospects will aspire to be the next Ayoze, young forward Nano is the latest to be invited to train with the seniors. Against that hope is the uncertainty over the clubs finances, President Concepcion has deferred the annual accounts for some fine tuning and former player Pier Cherubino is massing support in the wings to take over as the next President. One thing is for sure, it’s never dull at the Heliodoro.

ou can never predict who will be the star turn for Iberostar Tenerife basketball team, their players seem to take it in turns to grab the spotlight. At laboral Kutxa last Friday Ricardo uriz was the man of the match with 26 points just shading out Saul Blanco on 24. Tenerife dominated every quarter thanks to Blagota Sekulic with

16 and a welcome return to form for luke Sikma with 13 points.

Whether it was free shots or rebounds, Tenerife outscored the Vitoria side with quarter scores of 19-25, 1620, 24-25, and 24-25 again. In front of a bumper festive crowd of 10,089 the La Laguna yellows were untouchable. Moving on to Monday they were back home and up against Ucam Murcia, another big win 82-69 but some very erratic swings in play. The first and last quar-

ters were fairly comfortable 24-19 and 24-18 scores but they lost the second 11-25 and roared back to take the third 23-7. This time Blagota Sekulic stole the honours with a whopping 27 points, Levi Rost weighed in with 16, and Saul Blanco added 13. The Pabellon Santiago Martin stadium was rocking again with a 4,107 crowd. That puts Iberostar Tenerife in 7th place, the ideal platform to push on for a top four finish to continue their constant improvement.

Chelsea Win Friends And Experience I t wasn’t just about the winning, the Chelsea squad didn’t get through their opening group that contained the two finalists, but they thoroughly enjoyed their time in Tenerife and took back great memories and some valuable football lessons. Head coach Ian Howell knows it will

benefit them as players and people. “ It was great to test ourselves against players of such a high caliber and with different styles of play. We normally play more 11 a side games so the format was a challenge for us and because the school years are different in England, our teams are always a few months behind on development compared to the European teams. Our players had a great time and it’s all about learning and adapt-

The organization was top class, all the teams that went out of the groups were able to use the smaller stadium next door for games against each other, that was really appreciated as we packed in loads of playing.” Tour leader Ben Knight echoed those positive views. “ It’s been an amazing experience from flying in via Madrid on Friday to settling into the players hotel a few minutes from the ground and of course the football itself. The facilities here are some of the best around, we have made lots of good friends and been invited to another tournament in Real Sociedad. On the final day we took the lads down to the beach for some sun, sea, and a bit of beach football, they really enjoyed that. We would love to come back next year.”
