editorial

i write this whilst waiting to take over from Mr. Andy Briggs, the other performer down at Vivo’s phenomenally successful afternoon sessions of live entertainment. Only one week in and it’s taken off amazingly well, with residents and tourists alike coming back day after day, one thing though, it’s HOT!! Black biker boots and thick jeans were quickly replaced with deck shoes and three quarter length shorts! i’m now the proud owner of my first “worker’s tan” i.e. just face and lower arms! As well as adding afternoon en-

tertainment to the ever growing Vivo repertoire, we’ve made some changes to the Decades show schedule, Saturday Gala night has been replaced by a Wednesday night Mid-week Spectacular, with more details to follow and Karen Forge from Palm Mar, please contact me if you see this about your March Saturday booking!! i’d like to apologise to Mr. Derek Arnold, last week we covered an interesting story about a lovely guy named George, who had played with the Beatles 50 years ago – which, as it turns out was a gig booked by Derek,

his name was at the top of the programme and i didn’t spot it! Sorry again – and i’ll use one of the articles you sent to me soon! Most of our regular writers have had a well earned week off from their “proper” jobs, so they are refreshed and on form this week so enjoy what they have to say, next week i will be settled into my brand new “Casa in the Clouds” which i’ll tell you all about next week, in the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous weather!

Demonstration Against terror in Venezuela The Venezuelan people cried briskly “Free Venezuela” coNtiNueD From PAge 1

photos by Gerard Zenou

eneZUela is not alone. this was demonstrated by its citizens around the world on February 22nd, the date on which the venezuelan people shouted briskly “Freedom”. they were “invaded” by a deep sense of unity with the heart in the pearl of the Caribbean, more than 1,200 people, arrived from many municipalities on the island of tenerife, and expressed their rejection to the brutality that the illegitimate government of nicolás maduro is undergoing in venezuela. the most creative and compelling slogans were heard in the square in los Cristianos for the venezuelan people and to the world. “resistance venezuela”, “no i please have a dictatorship like Cuba”, “this government will fall”, “freedom to our students,” sounded in unison for a free country.

The organizers of the concentration, A World Without gag, and in Tenerife, the Canary Venezolana Union (UCVE), achieved the goal with the participation of all present. UCVE president, Agustin Rodriguez, appreciated the initiative, keeping the message of the ongoing struggle. “The proof is evident already, look at all the people who have gathered here, Tenerife has been there to support that struggle and our students and autocracy in Venezuela. A dictatorship already removed his

mask. From the outside, the view is often different, in this case, information in Venezuela is severed by the power of the ruling party.The diffusion of pictures, videos, interviews, what happens on the street every minute travels through social networks, a great ally in this struggle. “Those of us on the outside have a great responsibility to denounce what the government is silent. Our people are dying, there are many shortages, and today we are saying in a world without gag SOS Venezuela, “said Rodriguez. It is a fact that “we will not let the Maduro government fool the international community.” The UCVE along with people involved in Venezuela, have formed an association based in Brussels, Veneeuropa of Venezuelans in Europe through the European Parliament move many actions. “We have a proclamation of the secretary of foreign European Parliament and on the 27th of February in Strasbourg in full will just discuss the reality of what is happening in Venezuela.” After 12 days of protests in Venezuela, people wonder where international agencies are and where they stand. “They started the international agencies to discuss Venezuela, like the American Congress, and we want to position the Spanish State “since at least” in the U.S. are paying attention to what is happening. “ Much remains to be done, “loser gets tired” is the phrase of hope. Still, “there is much uncertainty of what will happen depends on the people.” The situ-

ation is complicated not only by the miseries of the people, such as food shortages, insecurity, or poor quality of public services, and economic instability of the country’s coffers, but within government paddling in duel for power. “We know it is difficult because there is a struggle between Maduro and Cabello.” Tear gas, buckshot, tanks, military aircraft, real bullets travel through Venezuelan territory in search of victims. It is the National Guard, the army and guerrilla or paramilitary groups such as the Tupamaros who are sowing violence in the streets. Venezuelans have searched many ways to defend or attack by salar their own lives, or make calls ‘guarimbas’, a form of protest struggle from a specific point, not far from home. But where is the armed forces of Venezuela. “We have a big problem in the Venezuelan army polarized because the government,” says Agustin Rodriguez. The soldiers were not going to get anywhere now general government service, he says, “but I trust that part of the army I will patriotism and defend us.” The president of the UCVE is clear that “we do not want a coup, we want the resignation of Maduro and to hold elections within the reasonable time dictated by the constitution.” Our voices Venezuelans had the opportunity on Saturday to express their feelings. Protesters paid honor to the fallen, they prayed for them and for peace, called for the release of Leopoldo López, and shouted freedom to Venezuela, because everyone wants to

see the beautiful land that once was. The chance that this report should have a more personal nature, not only from the point of view of how it is reported, but from own experience as a native of Venezuela. This fight does not end until the goals that lead us back to democracy. The voices will be heard for the world to wake up, the presence of people in the streets of Venezuela and encouragement of Venezuelans get uproot a violent and illegitimate regime. The legacy of Hugo Chavez, who was the division of the people, has expired. Now there is binding, win, strength and courage.

Reader´s Letter Outrageous On the patch there is a live sex show, a brothel and a shop openly selling marijuana and we get closed down cos the ceiling is 5 cm to low. Gotta love Arona town council. Terry and Sue (via Facebook)

a 36-year-old man was killed after being knocked down on the TF5. The accident happened shortly after 8pm near San Benito. Emergency services were called to the scene, but they were unable to do anything other than confirm the poor man’s death at the scene. The incident caused huge tailbacks on the northern motorway. The Guardia Civil and the national police are investigating. there is a dinner on 8 March for the Abinque award of this prize to Brigitte Gypen. It is being held in the Adeje CDTCA, the Costa Adeje Tourism Development Centre (see map below), and all are welcome – men included! Clio O’Flynn says that dress code is fairly loose, so it’s a relaxed social occasion centred around a very important message. If you would like to go to the presentation dinner, call Adeje Igualdad on 922.756.244 where tickets, costing 15 euros, are on sale. Playa san Juan, Fishermen are no longer able to sell their catch at the quayside after the Canarian Government ordered a suspension of activities. It appears the initial point of sale facilities do not meet health requirements, after checks made by the Ministry of Agriculture , Livestock, Fisheries and Health of the Canary Islands Government determined the facilities were not fit for the purpose. Currently in the south of the island there are only two initial points of sale, one located in Tajao (Arico ) and Los Abrigos( Granadilla) which opened several months ago.

a 2.1 earthquake was recorded just before 9am yesterday morning in Tenerife. The tremor was registered in to the southeast of Realejo Alto, at a depth still to be confirmed. This follows a minor one of 1.1 at a depth of 10km just after midnight on 25 February to the west of Fasnia, near to today’s larger quake. Just a reminder that next week is Semana Grande – the “big week” of the Santa Cruz carnaval. Many businesses will be operating partial hours, and banks may be closing earlier than usual. Quite a few municipalities have 4th March – Carnival Tuesday – as one of their two public fiesta days : Arona, San Miguel, and Granadilla do, for example, though Adeje does not.

the first verdict in the Canaries that will see politicians and local government employees go to prison for planning corruption has been given in Santa Cruz over the so-called Caso Mamotreto, the monstrous and controversial building that was constructed in 2008 – completely illegally and corruptly, it has now been judged – and which came to be called a mamotreto, a “white elephant”. Of the seven defendants, six have been sentenced to prison (between two and three years), demolition of the illegal buliding at their own personal expense, and a ban on holding office. Activist party Sí Se Puede, indeed, congratulated the two social collectives for starting the whole process of denuncias against the “mamotreto” and the municipal planning crimes behind its construction. More importantly given the pressure that must subsequently have been brought to bear, the party congratulated them for not capitulating in the fight. The two organizations which led the campaign are the Asociación Tinerfeña de Amigos de la Naturaleza (ATAN) and the Asociación de Amigos de la Playa de Las Teresitas, Anaga y su Litoral. Si Se Puede called yesterday’s judgment “exemplary”. According to the judge, in the era when Miguel Zerolo (Coalición Canaria) was mayor, “irregularities were normal”. This might therefore not be the last such judgment that comes out of further similar investigations in Santa Cruz, and elsewhere of course …

The carnival, now an official Fiesta de Interés Turístico Internacional, moves out onto the capital’s streets with the Cabalgata Anunciadora tomorrow, starting what will no doubt again be a loud and sleepless few nights for the capital! The main pa-

he santa Cruz carnaval now has its queen. amanda Perdomo, with her fantasy Poderosa amazona (mighty amazon), designed by Daniel Pagés. runner up was rocío Benítez Pérez, wearing mi gran noche, and in third place came Yolanda mendoza in la esencia de santa Cruz, also designed by Daniel. the gala for the election of the carnival queen took place in the recinto Ferial with music, murgas, dance, and colour, all tuned to the overall theme for this year’s carnival, Cartoons.

rade, the Coso Apoteosis, will be on Tuesday, 4 March, and again, thousands are likely to be there to share in what is recognized as the world’s second largest carnival after Rio de Janeiro. The bizarre ceremony of the Entierro de la Sardina (burial of the sardine) which heralds Lent will take place the next day, Wednesday 5th.

All ABout tAPAS

ne oF the Great things about living in tenerife is no matter where you are on the island, you’re never far away from a tapas bar. We’ve all had tapas, of one form or another, but how much do you really know about this most traditional type of spanish style cuisine?

Tapas (Spanish pronunciation: [tapas]) are a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks, in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squids). The word “tapas” is derived from the Spanish verb tapar, “to cover”. Though the primary meaning of tapa is cover or lid, it has in Spain also become a term for this style of food. In select bars in Spain, tapas have evolved into an entire, and sometimes sophisticated, cuisine. In Spain, patrons of tapas can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal. In some Central American countries, such snacks are known as bocas. In Mexico, similar dishes are called “botanas.” The serving of tapas is designed to encourage conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them. Also, in some countries it is customary for diners to stand and move about while eating tapas. The original tapas were the slices of bread or meat which sherry drinkers in Andalusian taverns used to cover their glasses between sips. This was a practical measure meant to prevent fruit flies from hovering over the sweet sherry. The meat used to cover the sherry was normally ham or chorizo, which are both very salty and activate thirst. Because of this, bartenders and restaurant owners began creating a variety of snacks to serve with sherry, thus increasing their alcohol sales.The tapas eventually became as important as the sherry. The origin of this is uncertain but there are several theories: Some believe the name originated sometime around the 16th century when tavern owners from Castile-La Mancha found out that the strong taste and smell of mature cheese could help disguise that of bad wine, thus “covering” it, and started offering free cheese when serving cheap wine. Others believe the tapas tradition began when king Alfonso X of Castile recovered from an illness by drinking wine with small dishes between meals. After regaining his

By marc Craig health, the king ordered that taverns would not be allowed to serve wine to customers unless it was accompanied by a small snack or “tapa”. Another popular explanation says that King Alfonso XIII stopped by a famous tavern in Cádiz (Andalusian city) where he ordered a cup of wine. The waiter covered the glass with a slice of cured ham before offering it to the king, to protect the wine from the beach sand, as Cádiz is a windy place. The king, after drinking the wine and eating the tapa, ordered another wine “with the cover”. A final possibility surrounds Felipe III, who passed a law in an effort to curb rowdy drunken behavior, particularly among soldiers and sailors. The law stated that when one purchased a drink, the bartender was to place over the mouth of the mug or goblet a cover or lid containing some small quantity of food as part of the purchase of the beverage. The hope being that the food would slow the effects of the alcohol, and fill the stomach to prevent over imbibing. Tapas have evolved through Spanish history by incorporating ingredients and influences from many different cultures and countries. Most of the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by the Romans, who introduced the olive and irrigation methods. The invasion of the North African Moors in the 8th century brought almonds, citrus fruits and fragrant spices. The influence of their 700-year presence remains today, especially in Andalusia. The discovery of the New World brought the introduction of tomatoes, sweet and chili peppers, maize (corn) and potatoes. These were readily accepted and easily grown in Spain’s microclimates. In Spain, dinner is usually served between 9 and 11 p.m. leaving significant time between work and dinner. Therefore, Spaniards often go “bar hopping” (Spanish: Ir de tapas) and eat tapas in the time between finishing work and having dinner. It is very common for a bar to have eight to 12 different kinds of tapas in warming trays with glass partitions covering the food. They are of-

ten very strongly flavored with garlic, chilies or paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, saffron and sometimes in plentiful amounts of olive oil. Often, one or more of the choices is seafood (mariscos), often including anchovies, sardines or mackerel in olive oil, squid or others in a tomato-based sauce, sometimes with the addition of red or green peppers or other seasonings and one or more types of olives, such as Manzanillo or Arbequina olives. In Madrid and in parts of Andalucia, when one goes to a bar and orders a drink, often a tapa will be served with it for free. As a drink, it is usual to ask for a caña (small beer), a chato (glass of wine) or a mosto (grape juice). In several cities, entire zones are dedicated to tapas bars, each one serving its own unique dish. In León, one can find the Barrio Húmedo, in Logroño Calle Laurel and in Burgos Calle de la Sombrerería and Calle de San Lorenzo. In northern Spain, they are also called pinchos (pintxos in Basque) in Asturias, in Navarre, in La Rioja (Spain), the Basque Country, Cantabria and in some provinces, such as Salamanca, because many of them have a pincho or toothpick through them. The toothpick is used to keep whatever the snack is made of from falling off the slice of bread and to keep track of the number of tapas the customer has eaten. Differently priced tapas have different shapes or have toothpicks of different sizes. The price of a single tapa ranges from one to two euros. Another name for them is banderillas (diminutive of bandera “flag”), in part because some of them resemble the colorful spears used in bullfighting. Tapas can be “upgraded” to bigger portions, equivalent to half a dish (media ración) or a whole one (ración). The portions are usually shared by diners, and a meal made up of raciones resembles a Chinese dim sum, Korean banchan or Middle Eastern mezze. The first thing to do is check whether you can order tapas at the tables. In some places they only serve tapas at the bar and you have to order raciones (large plates) at tables or out on the terrace. Once seated, don’t order everything at once. Many tapas are already prepared and you could end up with 5-6 dishes arriving at once. Also, you may see something “walk by” that looks good, so best to start with just one or two tapas each and take it from there. Prices vary; expect to pay 2-3 euro for a typical tapa, though these days – and especially in “gastrobars” – they can go as high as 5-6 euros.

Your chance to meet A Bestselling Author!

Joe Cawley – book signing More Ketchup and Final Dollop in Los Cristianos 8th March by janetanscombe.com

enerife-based Joe Cawley will be signing copies of his books, more Ketchup than salsa and the Final Dollop, at redhound Bookshop in los Cristianos from 5pm onwards on saturday, 8 march. Joe’s first book became a UK bestseller when it was released on Kindle in 2011, beating Karl Pilk-

ington’s idiot abroad tales and even Bill Bryson’s numerous tomes to the number one spot in the travel section on amazon. the book has since been downloaded over 60,000 times.

“The Final Dollop is a darker book than More Ketchup,” says Joe, “but still with plenty of laughs, characters and scenarios that anybody who’s lived in, or knows Tenerife will easily recognise.” Both books follow Joe and Joy, along with Joe’s

brother and his wife, as they borrow a fortune to swap a life of fish filleting on a cold Lancashire market to buy a bar/restaurant in La Caleta. Expecting a life full of sun, sand and sangria, they very soon find out that although the skies might be more blue, the grass is anything but greener on the other side thanks to the language barrier, bureaucratic bungling and complete inability to master the art of pandering to a bizarre array of holidaymakers and expats. If you’ve ever pondered

what life would be like if you lived in Tenerife, just fancy a good beach read, or you already live here and want to read a humorous account of island life (you might even recognise yourself in the book!), now’s the chance to pick up a signed paperback, chat and have a drink with the author. Make a date in your diary now – Saturday 8 March at Redhound Bookshop on Calle Juan XXIII (the top pedestrian street off Los Cristianos church square, harbour end.

cABilDo eNcourAgeS uSe oF the council combines classic Jazz With images BuS AND trAm For cArNiVAl of Nature The Museum of nature and Man host # naturaJazz, a new activity to take place on Thursday night, from March 20th

he museum of the Cabildo poses a cultural offering that combines the visual beauty of nature with the elegant sounds of classic jazz in a unique event that will take place on thursday evenings in the courtyard of palm trees museum of nature and man, from 20th march. the purpose of this activity, # naturaJazz, is to establish a link between tenerife museums and nature photographers (both professional and amateur). each day involved two authors, coinciding with two musical passages. each projected between 200 and 400 images. In the words of the minister responsible for Parks, Amaya Conde, “ it is a project that aims to provide a meeting place and a showcase of the work of those who love nature photography beyond the usual display channels “. Tenerife Museums are encouraged to collaborate on this project with individual contributions in order to create a collective work with local images but that transcend the boundaries of insularity. Museum of the Cabildo want to pay tribute to this photographic mode that is linked to the museums of Natural History “as we are aware, the importance of image to capture the beauty of the natural world around us, especially in these islands with

much biodiversity, taking into account the importance of this activity for the study and dissemination of certain scientific disciplines such as wildlife, flora, archeology and paleontology, among others.” Note that the contributions of photographers, travelers, scientists, writers, hunters and adventurers have been instrumental in the development and dissemination of science. As an incentive, the Cabildo Museum acquired an amount of 150 euros an image of each selected for use in the various scientific and educational activities of the Museum project. Entries must be submitted to the Museum before March 10th. Similarly, the theme will be the nature of the Canaries, although other Macaronesian archipelagos work will be accepted. Artists should send a batch of 20 to 40 images in order to have enough material. Images will be in JPEG format, if possible quality between 6 and 8, depending on the settings of Photoshop, and the following resolution: at least 1024 px wide with height to 766 px and maximum of 1920 px width up to 1080 high. In addition, it is essential that a text of 10 to 15 lines in which the general content of the image is explained, to be used not only to introduce the photographs during the event, but to advertise in the media. Tenerife Museums will select the 20 photographers who eventually become part of the project.

he teneriFe Cabildo is encouraging the public to use buses and trams for the santa Cruz carnival period to ease traffic use in the capital. titsa and metropolitano de tenerife will have carnival services between 28 February and 9 march, both providing not just increased fre-

by janetanscombe.com quency, but additional security and parking discounts at the intercambiador. La “campaña carnaval” was presented yesterday by the Cabildo’s director de Movilidad, Manuel Ortega, and Titsa chief, Jacobo Kalitovics. As Sr Ortega said, “we are trying to adapt to the needs of carnival-goers and to offer an alternative means of comfortable and safe travel for everyone who wants to enjoy Santa Cruz’ carnaval programme.

Information on the services, times, routes, etc., can be found on the companies’ websites: www.titsa.com and www. tranviatenerife.com, as well as on their social networks via Facebook and twitter. Both also offer a mobile app – a pioneering initiative unique to Metropolitano de Tenerife – which allows for an electronic version of the bono card. Titsa for its part is offering a prize draw for free Titsa travel throughout the year, see the facebook page.

it’S A PerSoNAl thiNg – loS criStiANoS by Red Queen’s Musings n triPaDviser’s tenerife forum there are two distinct camps those who vociferously proclaim that the north of the island, namely Puerto de la Cruz is a traditional resort and the only one to be seriously considered for anyone not looking for nightclubs or looking to experience Canarian culture. then there are those who say that the south, particularly the area from los Cristianos to Costa adeje has everything that anyone could possibly need.

Now whether it is because I have been contributing to TA for such a long time, or perhaps it is because I can´t reply to anyone in just a couple of words but have to expand, I find that most days I receive a message asking if I can recommend which is the best resort /hotel / apartment for someone’s annual holiday. I rarely do this, because as the title of this blog says it is a very personal thing and we all have different opinions about what will and won’t suit our needs. I try to make unbiased

comments about each of the resorts but naturally I do like some more than others. I have in the past written about Los Cristianos and thought some may find it useful if I did an overview (or at least the way I see it) of each of the major resorts. Well it would be a way of filling 4 articles! So starting today I will cover Los Cristianos, then over time move on to Las Americas, Costa Adeje and finally Puerto de la Cruz. Who knows I could even get around to the west of the island and the Golf. Los Cristianos is one of the major tourist centres in the south of Tenerife. It is located in the municipality of Arona which is where I live, so it would be fair to say I am a wee bit biased, as it is my closest town and has everything I personally look for. Like the other towns in the area, the average temperature throughout the year is about 25°C and there are many sunny days, another reason why I like it here. In contrast to other southern resorts it is not purpose built. Its origins lie in a humble fishing village and whilst some say an attraction of Puerto de la Cruz is its traditional architecture, Los Cristianos has its own

traditional architecture. This may not be in the form of merchants’ houses with balconies but then how many fishermen lived in those. Along the beach and through the old part of town you can see its roots and it still retains a small fishing activity, which is reflected in the fresh fish market at the port. Away from the seafront there is a real Canarian community living and working in the town and there are many small cafes and bars where the locals congregate. The hotels and apartment complexes here are cheaper than in the nearby Playa de Las Americas and are focused on family holidays with a wide range of activities and entertainment for kids and adults rather than the teens and twenties. There are only a couple of high-rise buildings (a pet hate of mine) the rest nestle along the coast and cling to the hillside. The ocean and the beaches are very clean and safe and it is sometimes difficult to tell where one beach begins and another ends. Starting by Montaña Guaza there is a pebble beach where you often see locals fishing. This isn´t ideal for sunbathing but just 5 minutes along

Well Done Bernie!!

ast FriDaY, well known local fundraiser Bernie Bucket held a charity night to raise money for Cancer research UK, a cause that has been close to her heart since 2009 when Bernie herself was first diagnosed.

Bernie popped down to see me on Monday to tell me all about it. She told me that it was an absolutely amazing night down at Karting Las Americas, it was a total sell-out and Jamie Drew was a fantastic host, Bernie had

nothing but praise for all the performers, but wanted me to mention Sebastian, who dropped his minidisc on the way in, but being the consummate professional, performed acapella, clapping and tapping his feet to provide the beat, and her ever supportive hubby Keith, a guitarist who has performed with Elvis Presley’s guitarist and Dire Straits drummer, who also performed. Bernie raised 4135.70 euros on the night,with every cent going to Cancer Research UK, which makes an absolutely stunning 130,000 euros since Bernie began fund-rais-

ing back in 2009!! Bernie asked me to thank everyone who took part and also all the companies who donated prizes, with a special mention to “Tenerife Pearl and Libra Shoes, Las Americas please. Tenerife Pearl give me an expensive piece of jewellery every year to auction and Libra Shoes expensive handbags, this year they gave me two bags....totalling 500 euros.” Bernie is still receiving treatment and is “not out of the woods yet” but I’m sure you’ll agree, she is an inspiration, well done Bernie and good luck xx

the promenade is the town beach Playa de Los Cristianos. Golden sand, sheltered by the harbour and boasting a number of facilities including water sports, beach volley ball and showers. This beach is very popular with bathers all year round, mainly for its calm waters. Located in the next bay beyond the harbour is the man-made Playa de Las Vistas. It is one of the most popular beaches on the island with its rows of sun beds and sunshades and the iconic water fountain. It used to have world class facilities for the disabled and some of the best life-guards on the island, until the local council messed up, but that is a totally different story and would take a long time to explain. The one thing Los Cristianos has in common with other resorts is that it offers a wide variety of fun as well as cultural activities. If you like theme parks there are two – Parque Las Aguilas commonly called The Jungle Park where you can enjoy a variety of exotic animals and the birds of prey show (being a cheapskate I watch these birds twice a day from

my balcony as I live so close!) and still find them majestic and very exciting. I am not a fan of keeping animals in cages but I do like the Monkey Park where you can interact with the ‘inmates’ inside open enclosures. This gets better each year as the more people that visit the more they can afford to update the facilities. And for those seeking culture there is a superb Auditorio Infanta Leonor in the centre of town where for a few euros you can see top class shows such as the Russian ballet, soul or gospel concerts and classical music from international artists. There are also plenty of free concerts that can be found taking place in the plazas each month. You can walk along the almost totally flat promenade for miles. View the nearby island of La Gomera or make a trip there as the ferries depart daily from the harbour and if you enjoy the sea, take a boat ride offering whale watching, or water sports, such as scuba diving or windsurfing. If you are looking for

tradition in a holiday resort then every week you will find displays of Canarian music and dancing by the old harbour this is called Canary Folk Fest and due to end in March, but like most years it no sooner ends than it restarts for a new season. Los Cristianos isn´t known for its night life, there are plenty of restaurants and bars some with entertainment but very few clubs pumping out music until the early hours. If this is what you are looking for then you need to visit Las Americas but to get down with the locals you need to go to the the most iconic disco “Casablanca”, in San Telmo. For over twenty years it has attracted locals, tourists and international celebrities to the south of the island, but in order to fit in you will need to practice your Merengue and Salsa to Latino music rather than your best John Travolta moves to electro, new house or old skool mixes. So that is my run down on my favourite resort. Next time I will look at Las Americas, is it really as bad as it is painted?

The units will have an output of 132kW in the first phase of the scheme and the municipalities of Garachico, Buenavista and Icod de los Vinos are already planning to install converters off their coasts. LWP recently signed a similar agreement with Lanzarote Island Council to install a 500kW pilot plant at La Santa to the north of the island. which when connected to the Club La Santa sports hotel will supply 50% of its power needs.

Tenerife Island Council President Carlos Alonso told reporters: “We are strongly backing the development of sustainable energy and signing the collaboration agreement is a clear indication of our support. “Wave conditions in Tenerife, particularly in the north of the island, are the most suitable for generating this type of energy.

Accion Del Sol News With Carnival season upon us once again now is the time to remember our pet animals. As much as we all enjoy the hustle, bustle, endless parties, and somewhat exuberant behaviour all rounded off with never ending fireworks, for our four legged friends it’s not such good news. Dogs have very sensitive ears and are much more aware and disturbed by all the unusual activities associated with Carnival time, Not to mention the scary and bizarre costumes and

face masks. Maybe we all enjoy dressing up for carnival but for our pets costumes can be uncomfortable, unfamiliar and even cause the dog to overheat. In addition they are at risk from injury from broken glass and tin cans in the streets as well as the risk of the dogs fleeing in terror from sudden loud bangs. So the best place for your pets is safely in the comfort of their own home in a quiet area well away from the festivities.

Live Aricco News Help for Candy Candy was rescued from Adeje kennels just before Christmas by our friend Regina Queder who runs MADAT - Manos Amigos de los Ani-

males Tenerife. Candy has a congenital heart defect called Ductus Arterioso Persistiente. To you and me that means that when she was born one of the arteries which allows blood to flow from one side of the heart to the other did not close off properly. If Candy does not have an operation then her life could be very hard. She may not survive much longer, and during this time she will become short of breath due to the lack of oxygenated blood flow, which will

put extra strain on her heart and body. The operation is open heart surgery, and there will be a need for intensive recuperation and care too. Our vet Cesar Bertoldi will perform the operation and she will then return to Sharon Edens, her foster Mum, for recuperation. She needs scans and x-rays before the operation too, and as you can imagine all this will cost a significant amount of money! MADAT do not have the funds to cover this, so a fundraiser is being held with the aim of raising the money to save Candy. WHEN? Sunday the 9th March from 2pm WHERE ? Eurobar, Coral Mar Square, Costa de Silencio. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Attend, enjoy, participate, buy a raffle ticket or 2, ENTERTAIN (acts please call Sharon on 671 783117 if you can spare 15 minutes of your time) DONATE raffle prizes, tombola prizes, cash, bbq items – again call Sharon for more information. See you there - lets save a life, NEVER GIVE UP !!

Please, if you have QUALITY unwanted clothes, cds, dvds, shoes, household items or childrens clothing, call Siobhan now on 630 857626. And do come and see us, we have shops in Los Cristianos, Calle Revron near Churchills Bar, and San Eugenio opposite Hotel La Nina by Amandas bar at las Carabelas complex. Both shops open from 10 – 4 Monday to Friday, and until 2pm Saturday. Kel even opens the Los Cristianos shop on Sundays.... Come and have a browse, bag a bargain and help the animals.

James spent just under 7 years in the British army based in several regiments within the Royal Artillery as a signaller in a fire support team for different Infantry Battalions. I He also did a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2009. James told me: “After returning from Afghanistan I concentrated on my other job as an army physical training instructor, training up to 300 soldiers and making sure they were up to high fitness levels. When leaving the army I decided I wanted to continue passing on this different style of fitness training to other people, so I completed my level 3 personal trainer qualification and opened up a military style fitness class, I adapted the training to a more civilian class but kept

the military style within it. Outdoor fitness is growing in the UK so I decided to bring it to the Canary Islands in Southern Tenerife. All abilities and ages are welcome from beginners to athletes!! While training with us you’ll push yourself to your maximum due to the motivated style that I have, the classes can be fun and also very challenging, at times you’ll be working in pair’s, teams or even groups. Most sessions are carried out without any equipment on different types of terrain. The occasional lesson could involve tyre’s (be aware ha ha)! Every 6-8 weeks I will carry out a basic military fitness test out to check your progression. We guarantee to push you harder than you would on your own. So come along and give a lesson a go.” Call James on 665195742, or email jamesbanham123@hotmail.com for locations and more info.

greY AreA For 50 ShADeS moVie

by newsinthesun.com

Fter all the excitement the filming of the 50 shades of Grey movie is coming to an end, and not one scene has featured the island of tenerife. There was speculation that a honeymoon scene was to be shot during the last week of February at the Tejita beach in Granadilla, after the local Council confirmed in early February they had received a call from a man, who identified himself as Steven Taylor from the Focus Features production company, inquiring about the procedure to be followed to shoot on location there. However, Granadilla heard nothing more, and more importantly neither did the Tenerife Film Commission who are responsible for

processing the necessary permits to film which are obtained from the Department of Coasts as the shoreline area is in the public domain. The Department of Coasts confirm there is no record of any permit application for a shoot on Tenerife beaches in February or in the near future . So, change of mind on the part of the production company or prank? To unravel the mystery, the first thing you need to ask is how the news broke. The El Pais newspaper ran the story on December 22nd, just a week after a fake movie trailer for the film swept YouTube, reporting the arrival of the production team in Madrid to find an actress to play one of “Mr Grey’s” lovers and the location of the Canary Islands

for honeymoon scenes. On December 26th the Europa Press news agency took up the story with the headline “50 Shades of Grey to be shot in Spain? “ A few days later, on December 29th, 2013 Europa Press, citing as a source a statement from the producer of the film, named Tenerife specifically. From there the information went viral through internet and traditional media sources, but here’s the thing; December 29th is the Day of the Innocents, for Spain, like the UK’s April 1st, a day to make jokes and particularly media pranks; so was it all a publicity stunt? The information came to Europa Press, as confirmed by the agency itself,via an e -mail press release from a communications com-

pany said to represent the producers of the film, Universal Pictures and Focus Features. The latest statement released by the agency on February 4th insists that the producers had requested permits from Granadilla. So was it an elaborate hoax or more likely perhaps the producer realized that filming for just four days in the archipelago offered no advantage, since to be eligible for tax incentives shooting needs to be of at least two weeks duration in the interior or exterior of island territory? Filming of the movie in Vancouver is almost at an end and there is no news of any “add ons” in Spain, let alone Tenerife, so it looks like local fans will just have to wait to see the action on the big screen like everyone else.

he Fit Canarias, the Canarian tourism innovation Factory, hosted aDeJe-smart islanDFit Canarias-CDtCa (8) the smart island ii forum on thursday in the hQ in adeje’s Centre for tourism Development.

The Cabildo president Carlos Alonso, Adeje mayor José Miguel Rdoríguez Fraga and the public negotiations, health and transport director for Atos, Mercedes Payá, opened the event which focussed on ‘intelligent tourism’ innovations. The mayor said it was important to remember that “an intelligent destination had to be an emotional destination and the local population have to be aware that tourism is a benefit”. The Atos repesentative told the conference that her company is “the number one in Spain and second in Europe in the promotion of technological projects and view tourism as a strategic sector of huge importance. For his part, Carlos Alonso spoke of a quality destination with the ability to meet the real and modern

demands of today’s tourists and with this in mind underlined the need for good connections such as a working Wifi system in tourism zones via the WiMAX ( (Worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access) platform. Alonso said “a productive debate on the tourism model that we want in the Canary islands must be centred around a product that is linked to the quality and spending in a destination and not to the number of stars above the hotel doors.” The Cabildo president said the forum had, as its aim, the advancement of Tenerife as an “intelligent tourist destination”, that is to say an innovative destination with an advanced technological infrastructure, and one which can guarantee territorial sustainable development, accessible to all. Furthermore an intelligent destination works to constantly increase the quality of the offer. These three key strategic lines, technology, sustainability and accessibility formed the focus for the Smart island ii forum with many business people attending to discover how they too can benefit from the emerging intelligent destination.

Manuel Muñoz, director of transport and tourism with Atos headed up the first intervention titled “Development of an intelligent destination London 2012/Sochi 2014”. Atos was the company responsible for the technological input in both Olympic cities. Following this Juan Arturo Carreter, director general of iER España, spoke on an Atos car-sharing project in Paris. That was followed by a talk from Víctor Alvarado, channel manager with Motorola, who presented various prototypes for use in the hotel sector. Íñigo García, marketing director with Amadeus, an company the provides technological solutions to the travel industry also presented his experiences of building intelligent destinations, and the day ended with a round table on the main topic chaired by the director of the department of tourism in the University of La Laguna, Eduardo Parra. FiT Canarias operates under the auspicies of the Adeje Council, the Tenerife Cabildo via Turismo de Tenerife and the Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Tenerife, the Chamber of Commerce and Ashotel.

teNeriFe Sur lioNS 29th chArter Night gAlA DiNNer

n the 22nD of February tenerife sur lions Club celebrated it’s 29th Charter Year in formal style at the Paradise Park hotel , Cristianos. With dinner suits and elegant dresses the order of the evening some sixty plus members and guests gathered on the terrace of the hotel’s strelitzia restaurant for pre-dining drinks and canapes. Prior to the meal service, Lions’ President Norman Goodall MBE

welcomed everyone saying that although evening did have a certain formality it was predominantly a celebration of the club’s Charter Anniversary it was also a birthday and so there would be more of a party atmosphere throughout the evening with some great entertainment lined up for later. He continued by asking that everyone take time to look at the table brochure’s center page entitled “A year in the life of Lions Tenerife Sur” depicting some of the Club’s 2013 projects. He paid tribute to the work of the staff of the club’s charity

shops in Costa del Silencio and Los Christianos and praised the public for their continuing tremendous level of support with donated items. He laid great emphasis to the fact that without both Tenerife Sur Lions Club would be unable to fulfill the increasing number of requests from both local governments and social services to help families in real distress, not just with food but with clothing and other houshold essentials. Concluding, Norman thanked all the members,wives, partners, and helpers who have come and given their support with a particular thanks to Ken and Beryl Sadler

who had organised the whole evenning adding it was his hope that everyone would have a wonderful evening and take away many happy memories. With the formalties over the guests enjoyed the fine dinning service of the five course menu accompianed by excellent wines and finishing with coffee and liqueurs. The whole dinning experience being further enhanced by the exceptional and attentive service of the hotel waiters. Complimenting the evening and bring that all important air of celebration there was music, dancing and entertainment.

Introducing the entertainment in his own unique style as the evening’s compere, Ken Sadler welcomed fellow Lion George Pena and his wife Claudia who had travelled from their home in Majorca especially for evening. Claudia got the evening’s party atmoshere started with a medley of popular songs.She was followed by husband George whose zany slant to his superb operatic voice had everyone in bouts of hysterical laughter. With the sounds of the seventies from “That 70’s Band” filling the dance floor the birthday celebration continued late into the night.

Upgrades at the Costa Adeje Market the chANgeS hAVe BeeN WelcomeD BY the trADerS

he Costa adeje market/mercado del atlantico, opposite the el Duque Commercial Centre has upgraded its installations, benefitting traders and the public alike.

Recently the mayor of Adeje José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga called into the market to see the

changes for himself, accompanied by the borough’s tourism councillor Rafael Dolado García. The upgrades have already been welcomed and praised by the commercial traders according to partners in the markets, Álvaro Luis Rodríguez y Jimmy Gómez, who met with the Adeje representatives during their visit. Mayor Rodríguez Fraga said, “we

are visiting a market that is very modern, one that has adapted to the needs and demands of today. The company responsible for the market have recognised that in the overall move to renovate the tourist destination every business in the sector has to been involved in the change. Congratulations are in order for the work carried out which, without doubt, will

also bring positive results for the traders.” The company behind the market, Mercadillo del Atlántico S.L., invested over half a million euro in the upgrade. Work included a completely new tarmac for the area and 200 new marquees of 2x2 metres each. These marquees were ordered specially for the market from Germany and

are of the highest quality. The perimeter of the market was also regulated to increase security and improve the management of the zone. This market is open on Thursdays and Saturdays, from 9am to 2pm. Up to 4,000 visit the market daily, and it enjoyed by both tourists and residents.

IMPROVEMENTS IN EL PUERTITO Work includes the improvement of the pavements and a possible relocation of the dry dock

n reCent weeks councillors epifanio Díaz hernández and andrés Pérez ramos, along with a town planner, met with residents of el Puertito de adeje to let them know about the plan to improve this part of the adeje coastline. the councillors explained that “we are talking about changes to an emblematic part of our borough taking its characteristics and

particular features into account”. The representatives of the Council added that “any changes will, of course, respect all of the existing regulations. What we are hoping to do with this work is offer the people who live in the area an improvement in all the communal areas, areas which form an integral part of the zone”. Among the works listed for El Puertito are: installation of hand railings along the pedestrian path; bringing the pathways that link to the houses into line with normal standards, and improvement of communal areas. Also

in the plan is an overall facelift for the zone, with the planting of vegetation appropriate for the coastal setting. They are also studying the possibility of limiting vehicle access into the area, but that is still very much in the planning stage according to the councillors. Another matter raised during the meeting with residents was the possibility of changing the location of the slipway to a more protected part of El Puertito, taking advantage of existing natural conditions to more easily launch boats and at the same time increasing the part of the beach available to bathers.

MAINLAND NEWS IN BRIEF three persons were arrested in Velez-Malaga, Spain, for drug related crimes. Two of them, a Dominican man, 40, and his 23-year-old girlfriend, were arrested for alleged cocaine trafficking, whereas the third one was arrested for buying the drug. According to Europa Press, Spain’s National Police started an investigation after knowing a man could be trafficking cocaine in VelezMalaga and nearby regions. After a short investigation, the man was arrested last Monday while he was selling 35.7 grams of the drug to a man in Torrenueva (Granada), who was also arrested. a drug smuggler who was convicted of bringing heroin into the UK last year has been arrested while on the run in Spain, the National Crime Agency said. David Mather, 52, from Salford, Greater Manchester, was held by armed police as he drove through La Linea, close to the border with Gibraltar. Mather was convicted in his absence in January 2013 at Sheffield Crown Court and sentenced to 18 years. He will be extradited back to the UK to serve his sentence. The NCA’s joint operation with Spanish National Police came as part of Operation Captura Unlucky 13, a campaign to track down convicted criminals living abroad. Hank Cole, head of international operations for the NCA, said: “Mather was using false identity documents to try and evade capture but we were able to track him down.” A freight company owned by Mather was involved in the logistics and movement of a lorry that was stopped at Humber Sea Terminal in May 2010 with 32 wrapped packages of heroin found in the bumper. It is believed the vehicle had been used on a number of occasions to import similar amounts of drugs into the UK. Mather’s arrest means 58 out of 76 wanted individuals targeted since Operation Captura was launched have been caught, said NCA. hundreds of sub-saharan migrants armed with sticks and stones stormed the six-metre high double barbed wire border fence on Monday in a bid to enter Spain’s northwest African enclave of Melilla from Morocco, with about 100 of them making it across, Spanish and Moroccan officials said. Moroccan forces arrested 96 of the migrants, 14 of whom were hospitalized in the nearby city of Nador, according to a Moroccan Interior Ministry statement. It said 13 security force members were injured by the stone-throwing migrants. Spain said 500 migrants were involved in the assault while Morocco put the figure at 300. Melilla is surrounded by Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea. Migrants hoping to get to Europe camp on the Moroccan side, and several thousand try each year to enter the city and Spain’s other coastal enclave of Ceuta. On Feb. 6th, at least 15 migrants drowned in Moroccan waters while trying to enter Ceuta by sea after several hundred tried to storm the enclave’s border by land. There are an estimated 25,000 sub-Saharan Africans living illegally in Morocco, most hoping to make their way to Europe. spain welcomed in January some 3.1 million foreign visitors, 12.3 percent more than in the same month of 2013, the Industry, Energy and Tourism Ministry said last Friday. The amount sets an all-time record for the first month of the year, topping the previous best established in January 2008 with 2.9 million visitors.These numbers come after last year closed with a record 60.66 million international tourist arrivals in Spain. Britain was the principal source with 552,526 tourists, 18.1 percent of the total and 9.2 percent more than in January last year, while France accounted for 493,432 visitors, up 19.5 percent from the same month in 2013. Among the various tourist destinations, the Canary Islands received more than 1 million visitors, or 13.7 percent more than last year, followed by Catalonia with 736,255, up 13.6 percent.

the tW Political showcase with Brian harrison

hen the spanish Constitution was ratified in 1978, it included several clauses within article 20 which were loosely aimed at protecting free speech, and defending the public’s rights to freely access independent media.

36 years on, many broadcasters find it hard to believe that article 20 of the Constitution was ever passed. it has been claimed many times, by many independent organizations, that the state influences the major media groups to a point where the public are denied access to the truth. in this week’s “P Files”, we’ll look at

how and why the media are influenced by public administrations in Spain. The major media groups is Spain generally own a selection of newspapers, magazines, website based services, terrestrial radio stations and TV stations. In each of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities, commercial radio stations and TV stations are allocated through public tenders. These public tenders are based on frequencies in any particular geographical area, and companies are invited to apply for one or more channel. The time it should take from the start of a public media tender until its completion is stipulated by national law as 12 months, though it can be extended if there are an excessive amount of applicants. All fine up to now, just as any democratic country would operate. But here’s the first bombshell; the selection panel which evaluate sand decides whose applications get passed and whose get rejected, is formed by between five and seven members of the autonomous government. In other words, the state and its politicians decide who we can or cannot access on TV and Radio. This matter is complicated by the fact that the tender processes invariably drag on, in many cases up to seven years. During that seven year period, from the day Joe Blogs Media submits his TV or Radio license applica-

tion, is he going to allow the editors within his media group to criticize the government who is considering his fate? Up to date, many of these public tender’s results have been investigated by anti-corruption forces and subsequently overturned by regional or national courts. The results of these “reversed” public tenders is millions of public funds lost in compensating applicants, and chaos on the FM and TDT channels, where in some parts of Spain, every commercial channel, including the nationals, is technically unlicensed. It has been claimed that keeping these channels unlicensed, at the mercy of a government who could apply closure notices and huge sanctions at any given time, is a further ploy to keep those media channels in check. A final point to consider this week is that many regional and national media groups heavily rely upon state advertising campaigns. In some regions during the last two decades, funds from public administrations have made up over 40% of media revenue. Would any media group risk the loss of such an important revenue source for publishing unfavorable articles about their paymasters? Next week, how the situation is affecting what we see, hear and read in the Canary Islands.

Uth lorenZo, who came in fourth in Britain’s 2008 “the X-Factor,” has been chosen to represent spain at the 2014 eurovision song Contest. Lorenzo was chosen

from among five finalized by a jury made up of established musicians who have had long-running pop careers, which included Monica Naranjo, Merche and David Bustamante. The jury’s selection coincided with televised viewers’ votes, though

cientists in spain have been given the go ahead to search for the body of Cervantes using specialist georadar equipment, which finds and measures underground cavities.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of Spain’s most famous novel ‘Don Quixote,’ died a poor man despite the huge success of the work and was believed buried in a convent in Madrid, although the exact whereabouts of his grave has been unknown until now, it was believed he was buried in Las Trinitarias convent in the Las Letras district of Madrid. Miguel de Cervantes is Spain’s most famous author but he had a complicated life, spending time in

initially the judges were leaning toward selecting La Brequette. Lorenzo will sing “Dancing in the Rain” in English at the contest, which is scheduled to be held in May in Denmark.

Spain Searches For The Body of Cervantes the military and acting as a government official in Seville. He spent time in the jail in Seville on at least two occasions and was struggling constantly to earn enough money to keep his family. The first part of his famous novel Don Quixote (pronounced don kee-ho-tay) was not published until he reached the age of 57. It was a instant success and he went on to publish the second part in 1615. The two parts were joined into one volume in 1617 and the novel has been translated into more than 60 languages since then. Cervantes died in Madrid on April 23, 1616 (the same day as William Shakespeare) at the age of 69. He had been wounded at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 with a gunshot wound to the chest. He also had damage to the bones

of his left hand. These injuries would help to identify any remains found. He had one daughter, so if any descendants can be found, a DNA sample could also help to identify the body. Evidence has existed since 1870 that there are undiscovered burial sites at the convent, including that of an adult man. A source says: “Under the main altar of the convent’s old church, where Mass was celebrated, it is known that there are three people buried there -- a woman, a young child and an adult man.” The heritage department of the Madrid region is in charge of the operation to find the great man’s body, the exhumation and scientific investigation of the remains and the reburial. Around 12,000 euros have been allocated to the project.

cAt cAFe celeBrAteS iNterNAtioNAl cAt DAY

Pain’s First cat cafe, the Gatoteca, has organized the FestimiaU! festival to celebrate international Cat Day. the festival offers a series of educational, informative and fun activities for cat lovers. the Gatoteca also serves as the headquarters of the society for the rescue and adoption of Cats, or aBriGa, which organized the festival in partnership with sanicat, a leading producer of pet products. One of the festival’s goals is to do away with the traditional image of cats as mysterious, unfriendly and aloof ani-

mals, showing the friendly, loyal and loving side of felines. Ariana Frances, one of the festival’s organizers said: “In reality, their character depends on how they were handled during their first months of life. If they received love and training, they will have impeccable social conduct and be friendly. A cat needs two kinds of care, physical and emotional, and understanding on the part of its owner about its nature, which is more wild than that of the dog, once this is accepted, the animal will be very much appreciated. It is the preferred pet of Spaniards after the dog.” FESTIMIAU! offers talks to spread knowledge about the cat world, craft goods for cats that contain catnip and workshops to teach children how to handle the animals.

International Cat Day was officially created in 2009, thanks to the efforts of cat lovers on social-networking sites, especially Facebook and Twitter, who wanted to educate people about how to correctly care for felines and promote the animals’ rights in light of abuse and abandonment. The date marks the death on Feb. 20, 2009, of Socks, the most famous cat to live in the White House, who moved into the presidential residence with Bill Clinton’s family in 1993. Socks went to live with the former president’s secretary, Betty Currie, when the Clintons left the White House. Currie had Socks euthanized in 2009, when he was 19 or 20, because he was suffering from kidney problems, a thyroid condition and cancer of the mouth and jaw.

ast WeDnesDaY, four people were arrested following an investigation which resulted in French authorities seizing a large cocaine haul. French police seized 1.4 tons of cocaine which was found in car tires on board a freight ship, which departed from Valparaíso, Chile and arrived at the port in the French city of Le Havre. The price of the seized cocaine is estimated at EUR 270 million. The two Spanish citizens were arrested in France. The two Bulgarians, who are believed to be the organisers of the trafficking, were arrested close to the Bulgarian coastal city of Varna on Thursday. Secretary General of the Bulgarian Interior Ministry, Svetlozar Lazarov, said: “A drug trafficking channel has been busted and large amount of drugs has been seized. The police received operational information about plotted and realised cocaine trafficking from South America to the countries in West Bulgaria. The scheme was realised under the cover of the cars taking part in the Dakar Rally. I immediately ordered an operational investigation. There was a consultation with the European partners. The operation was realised under constant exchange of infor-

mation, which led to the results achieved. A ship, which departed from Chile and was heading to France, has been transporting drugs hidden in cars. It was ascertained that the matter in point concerns a truck, which was transporting spare tires for the participants in the rally. The tires were sprayed with a special substance, in order to pass the x-ray check. There were 100 kilos of cocaine hidden in every tire. There was 1.4 tons of pure cocaine from Bolivia, aimed for the European market. The sum amounts to EUR 273 million. Work on the case continues in France and other European countries. The case concerns a cross-border group trafficking cocaine. The group was comprised of citizens from different countries, including Bulgaria. Bulgarian citizens had a leading role in a drug trafficking ring, which was busted. The arrests continue at the moment. There are more people to be detained. Thanks to the good work of the Bulgarian police, a drug trafficking channel from South America to West Europe has been neutralised. The drug haul was seized on the territory of France last night. The Bulgarians have a leading role in this drug trafficking ring. The investigation will ascertain how many drug deliveries have been realised so far. I thank

the secretary general of the Bulgarian Interior Ministry, as well as the Interior Ministry, because this huge seizure was realised in the frames of an investigation carried out by the French and the Bulgarian police.” French Ambassador to Bulgaria, Xavier Lapeyre de Cabanes, said speaking at a press conference at which it was announced that French

authorities have busted a large-scale cocaine haul, 1.4 tons, in cooperation with the Bulgarian authorities. “The investigation is connected with international drug trafficking from South America to Europe. This proves that there is perfect cooperation between the French and the Bulgarian police.”

iX PeoPle have died and another five members of the family suffered injuries in a fire at a small rural hotel. located in the town of tordomar, 134 miles (215 kilometers) north of madrid, in the north of spain Interior Ministry spokesman for the region of Castilla y Leon, Ramiro Ruiz Medrano, says three adults and three minors died from suspected smoke inhalation. Three other grown-ups and two children were taken to a hospital with minor burns and respiratory complaints. The fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday as the family slept and could have originated by poor combustion fireplace. It is assumed that

some wooden furniture and plastics that were close, burned, causing toxic smoke Ruiz Medrano said the five persons who survived the fire, a 5 year old girl, a 7 month old and three adults between 34 and 37 years. The five have been treated for smoke inhalation and burns and were taken to the Hospital de Burgos and were recovering well. The dead are a woman of 59 years, her two daughters and three children, aged 4-6 years. The mayor of the town has declared three days of official mourning, Gijón council, whose flags will fly from today until Tuesday at half mast, expressed their “sympathy” and “solidarity” with the families of those killed in the “fatal accident”.

CDonalD’s in spain, are testing a new, later breakfast menu to appeal to spain’s late dining culture. Despite being one of the most successful franchises in the world, McDonald’s has been temporarily stumped by the famous late dining culture in Spain. Like every Egg McMuffinseeker who has ever run into a McDonald’s unit just in time to see the menu boards flip over to lunch, a lot of people in Spain think the chain’s breakfast hours are too short. McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson got our hopes up last year when he said an all-day breakfast was a possibility for the future, but people in Spain are getting an extended breakfast period right now.

Breakfast is one of the most profitable dayparts for McDonald’s in the US, UK, Italy, and much of Europe. But Spain’s famously delayed dining hours meant few people were taking advantage of the chain’s breakfast menus. Spaniards typically eat dinner around 10pm and, consequently, tend to forgo breakfast for a late morning snack of churros con chocolate (fried dough sticks and hot chocolate dipping sauce), and chorizo (a Spanish sausage), so McDonald’s has had trouble tempting Spanish customers into its restaurants in the mornings. Spain’s unusual eating hours have been a topic of debate recently, with some wondering if the country should move its schedule more into line with the rest

of Europe. For now, though, McDonald’s will adopt the local customs and serve a more Spanish breakfast menu until 1 pm — an hour later than in other European countries. The menu has also gotten an upgrade. Spanish McDonald’s will serve things like toast with tomato and a wider range of coffees, in addition to the Egg McMuffins.

WomAN coNVicteD oF iNcitiNg terror oVer tWitter

n the First verdict of its kind involving twitter posts in spain, alba González Camacho, 21, who describes herself as a “very normal girl,” has been convicted by spain’s national court of inciting terrorism using a social media network, after she posted messages calling for a far-left terrorist organization to return to arms and kill politicians,

The case has touched on issues of where precisely the cultural, political and legal red lines lie in a country that not long ago lived under both the grip of Fascist dictatorship and the threat of leftist terrorism. Several recent cases involving social media have raised issues of the limits of speech on the Internet. In January, two people received prison sentences in Britain for posting threatening messages against a feminist campaigner.

The same month, a federal judge in the United States sentenced a man to 16 months in prison for threatening on Twitter to kill President Obama. Ms. González Camacho, a student in southern Spain, says she is unaffiliated with any political organization. But she had invoked a group known as the Grapo, which killed more than 80 people, mostly in the late 1970s and 1980s, when Spain was returning to democracy after the lengthy Franco dictatorship. Although the Grapo never officially disbanded, security officials here consider it to have long lost its operative capability. One of the messages called for the murder of the conservative prime minister, Mariano Rajoy. “I promise to tattoo myself with the face of the person who shoots Rajoy in the neck,” she wrote. Another singled out Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, the justice minister, comparing him to a Nazi.

Eduardo Serra, a former Spanish defense minister, said : “Terrorism is terrorism, and it just can’t be glorified.” With no past criminal record, Ms. González Camacho was sentenced to one year in prison but will avoid jail time under a plea bargain. Ms. González Camacho said by email: “The truth is that I’m a very normal girl, who has never landed herself in any kind of problem, but if I tell you everything that I’m fed up with, I would never stop. I never imagined something like that could happen to me because you find a lot of nonsense on the Internet, including worse than mine,” she wrote about her conviction. “But it seems that here that the prosecution is only for those from one side — the Fascists can say whatever they want, and nothing will ever happen to them.” Her lawyer, Miguel Angel Gómez García, suggested that Ms. González Camacho “had been

made a scapegoat. .” The case comes as the conservative Rajoy government is eyeing other restrictions on public protests, including the political use of the Internet, having agreed in November to a controversial draft bill that would make it a criminal offense to use the Internet to organize any violent protest action. The case against Ms. González Camacho has generated some sympathy here on social networks and helped swell the number of her followers on Twitter to more than 14,000. Though the prosecution noted that she had used photos relating to the Grapo as the background picture on her Twitter account, she has also switched at times to other pictures, including that of Che Guevara. Most recently, her account showed the wartime photograph of Soviet soldiers hoisting their flag in Berlin after defeating Nazi Germany.

Dr. Seuss born

n marCh 2nd in 1904, in springfield, massachusetts, Usa, theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. seuss, the author and illustrator of such beloved children’s books as “the Cat in the hat” and “Green eggs and ham,” was born. Geisel used his middle name (which was also his mother’s maiden name) as his pen name, and wrote 48 books-including some for adults-

-that have sold well over 200 million copies and been translated into multiple languages. Dr. seuss books are known for their whimsical rhymes and quirky characters, which have names like the lorax and the sneetches and live in places like hooterville.

Geisel graduated from Dartmouth College, where he was editor of the school’s humour magazine, and studied at Oxford University. There

he met Helen Palmer, his first wife and the person who encouraged him to become a professional illustrator. Back in America, Geisel worked as a cartoonist for a variety of magazines and in advertising. The first children’s book that Geisel wrote and illustrated, “And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street,” was rejected by over two dozen publishers before making it into print in 1937. Geisel’s first bestseller, “The Cat in the Hat,” which was recreated for the big screen starring Mike Myers as the crazy feline, was published in 1957. The story of a mischievous cat in

a tall striped hat came about after his publisher asked him to produce a book using 220 new-reader vocabulary words that could serve as an entertaining alternative to the school reading primers children found boring. Other Dr. Seuss classics include “Yertle the Turtle,” “If I Ran the Circus,” “Fox in Socks” and “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” Some Dr. Seuss books tackled serious themes. “The Butter Battle Book” (1984) was about the arms buildup and nuclear war threat during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. “Lorax” (1971) dealt with the

environment. Many Dr. Seuss books have been adapted for television and film, including “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” starring Jim Carrey and “Horton Hears a Who!” In 1990, Geisel published a book for adults titled “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” that became a hugely popular graduation gift for high school and college students. Geisel, who lived and worked in an old observatory in La Jolla, California, known as “The Tower,” died September 24, 1991, at age 87.

FACEBOOK BUYS WHATSAPP FOR $19BN

aCeBooK has agreed to buy the mobile messaging company Whatsapp the fast-growing messaging service in the world for $19bn (£11.4bn), the social network has announced. the purchase marks the largest single acquisition in Facebook’s 10-year history. Whatsapp is a real-time mobile messaging service with more than 450 million monthly users. the app has more than one million new registered users each day.

In a statement the company said that it would pay $4bn (£2.4bn) in cash and $15bn (£9bn) in Facebook shares as part of the deal. The app’s founders and employees will get $3bn (£1.8bn) of the shares as restricted stock that will vest over four years after the deal closes. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “ WhatsApp will continue to operate independently and retain its brand” despite the acquisition. “WhatsApp is on a path to connect one billion people. The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable, I’ve known (WhatsApp CEO) Jan (Koum) for a long time and I’m excited to partner with him and his team to make the world more open and connected.” He added that the service “doesn’t get

as much attention in the US as it deserves because its community started off growing in Europe, India and Latin America. “But WhatsApp is a very important and valuable worldwide communication network. In fact, WhatsApp is the only widely used app we’ve ever seen that has more engagement and a higher percent of people using it daily than Facebook itself.” Whatsapp was founded by Jan Koum a Ukrainian immigrant who dropped out of college, and a Stanford alumnus, Brian Acton. The acquisition will also see Mr Koum - a former Yahoo! engineer - join Facebook’s board of directors. Mr Koum said: “WhatsApp’s extremely high user engagement and rapid growth are driven by the simple, powerful and instantaneous messaging capabilities we provide, we’re excited and honoured to partner with Mark and Facebook as we continue to bring our product to more people around the world.” Facebook is known to make bold moves to thwart competitors - it famously bought Instagram for $1bn after a weekend of negotiations.

eCorD nUmBers of puffins have been washed up on Bay of Biscay as thousands are feared to have been killed in the recent storms that have hammered the UK for the last month. Bodies of dead puffins have been found washed up on the bays of France and spain, provoking worries that the storms have thinned their numbers The British Trust for Ornithology said it’s received a record number of reports of puffins, wearing uniquely-numbered metal rings showing they are from the UK, being washed up dead on the coasts of France and Spain. It’s feared they have been wiped out in their thousands while hunting far out to sea in the stormlashed Bay of Biscay for their favourite food, sand eels. BTO spokesman Paul Stancliffe said: ‘Sadly, the sight of a puffin, beak full of sand eels, might be

a little harder to come by this summer as they struggle to survive the recent storms that have rocked the Bay of Biscay.’ In a normal winter, the BTO would expect two or three ringed puffins to be found in the Bay, which covers western France and northern Spain, but during the last few weeks, more than 35 have been reported and countless more are feared to have been drowned and lost forever far out at sea. The previous highest number of ringed birds found was back in 1979 when 17 dead puffins were reported. British puffins head out into the Atlantic for the winter months, riding out the worst that the weather can throw at them. As the winter progresses, they make their way back into the Bay of Biscay before heading home to their breeding colonies and the burrows and tunnels in the ground on clifftops that they used the previous summer. The BTO says that puffins found in this winter’s so-called ‘wreck’, have come from colonies

in west Wales, northern Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. Mark Grantham, ringing officer at the BTO, said: ‘Up until the last couple of weeks it seemed that our puffins might have survived the worst of the winter. However, from the reports of ringed birds that are being washed up on the Biscay beaches it would seem that the recent storms were just too much for many of the puffins. It is still early days and the number of ringed birds found is likely to rise further, but we must remember that if over 35 ringed birds have been found, many un-ringed birds must have been affected too.’ Bird ringing in the UK is organised by the BTO and is carried out by licensed volunteers, who ring over a million birds of a wide variety of different species every year. It is the information received from these rings, when found and reported to the BTO, that enables scientists at the Trust to chart events such as this.

traY ChihUahUas are travelling in packs and terrorising a Us town

An overpopulation of chihuahuas is causing havoc in an Arizona town, so much so that residents called the animal control centre 6,000 times last year.

Maricopa County Animal Care and Control has said it received the thousands ofcalls from concerned Maryvale residents last year, reporting out-of-control chihuahuas being a nuisance on their streets. Locals say that the children are being chased on their way to school, while dog mess is being left all over the pavements.

Maryvale resident Ray Rios said: ‘They are out here chasing kids or going yard to yard… anywhere in groups of eight to 12 just running around.’ However, because it is so busy, Melissa Gable from the animal control centre said it needs help to restrain them:

‘If at all possible, if you see a stray, if you can safely contain him in your yard and then call us – that makes a big difference, because what’s happening is people are calling saying, “hey I see a stray” by the time we get there, it’s long gone.’

Salma Hayek’s Brother Kills Passenger In Crash

PPle Co-FoUnDer steve Jobs may be appearing on a commemorative U.s. postage stamp next year.

alma hayek’s younger brother has killed a 43-year-old passenger after crashing his $165,000 sports car on sunset Boulevard in la.

Sami Hayek lost control of the vehicle, crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head on with a pickup truck. A 43-year-old unidentified male Mexican passenger riding with Hayek died at the scene, Hayek was hospitalized for several broken ribs and facial lacerations. The name of the passenger has not been re-

Jobs’ name appeared on a list of approved postage-stamp subjects that also includes pop icon Michael Jackson, singer James Brown, rocker Jimi Hendrix, talk-show host Johnny Carson, hoops star Wilt Chamberlain, actor Charlton Heston and gay-rights leader Harvey Milk. The document from the U.S. Postal Service’s Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, carries “approved subjects” and notes design work on most of the

subjects is underway.However, the list dated January 7th is still subject to revision, a USPS spokesman said. Pop-culture figures are popular with stamp collectors, which is a likely reason the cash-strapped postal service has peopled its latest list with them, last November, it released 20 postage stamps honouring fictional wizard character Harry Potter. USPS spokesman Roy Betts said: “The postal service is looking to bring more timely, relevant, contemporary subjects to stamps ... pop-culture subjects appealing to younger audiences.

It creates excitement. Steve Jobs made major contributions and is worthy of this recognition.” If Jobs ends up on a stamp he would be the first figure in the U.S. computer industry to be so honoured.

leased as authorities were still trying to notify his next of kin. The fatal car crash occurred in Los Angeles, last Sunday. Sami Hayek, 40, was driving a 2006 Ford GT sports car eastbound on Sunset Boulevard around 4:50pm when he lost control of the vehicle, crossed into the westbound lanes and hit a 2011 Toyota Tacoma pickup. Authorities still don’t know what caused Hayek to cross over the yellow line. The investigation is on-going. Hayek currently runs his own design studio in Los Angeles, and has designed furniture for the likes of Brad Pitt. He is married to jewelry-designer Daniela Villegas and the two live in a home in the Hollywood Hills.

In the shocking footage, the brown haired woman can be seen having an argument with another driver near to Kingsbury roundabout, London. She then climbs on top of his vehicle - a BMW - while the pair continue to argue. He then approaches the car, opens the door and climbs inside, the BMW driver then speeds off - with the woman clinging on for dear life, while the woman’s female friend in an Audi pulls up alongside the car in a desperate bid to stop the man. Eventually, the woman - dressed all in black - gets off the car after the driver comes to a halt near to the roundabout in north-west London. She then walks to her friend’s vehicle and climbs into the passenger seat. It is unknown whether the woman was hurt during the heated incident. The footage was captured by driver Riz Husain: ‘So I’m driving up to Kingsbury roundabout when I see a girl get out of the passenger side of the Audi A3 and climb on the roof of the BMW. She’s not coming down until the guy stops. Her friend in the Audi (another girl) pulls across the BMW. The guy in the BMW incensed the first girl has climbed onto his roof tries to get her off by driving away. She eventually comes down to the bonnet, before eventually getting off and joining her friend in the Audi. Both cars nearly caused an accident as they sped away.’ Try a calming camomile tea next time!

PrototYPe smartphone that creates 3-D maps to help the visually impaired navigate unfamiliar indoor sites unassisted, has been unveiled by U.s. tech giant Google. Google’s advanced technology and Projects unit developed the phone with help from researchers at various institutions Sensors in the phone make more than 250,000 3-D measurements per second to update its position in real time and present its location as a 3-D map. Two hundred prototype smartphones with “customized hardware and software” have been offered to developers interested in creating apps for it.

The company said: “The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion. We’re ready to put early prototypes into the hands of developers that can imagine the possibilities and help bring those ideas into reality.” Google is not alone in attempting to turn technological advances to practical use in everyday life in an attempt to attract more customers. Tech analyst Bryan Ma, of U.S. market research firm IDC said: “The focus is not just on the hardware or the device, but on what the gadget can actually do, It is all about taking it to the next level of usage -- be it augmented reality, help with basic healthcare or even just creating better maps.”

Spotlight on Rodeo

s I write this, although I find it hard to believe myself, I’ve been regularly eating at El Rodeo for almost 15 years!

In that decade and a half, I’ve shared this meaty challenge with friends, family, parents, girlfriends, my future wife, in-laws, bosses, just about everybody I know! I could stop there as that’s recommendation enough, but perhaps I should give you a bit more information to go on! El Rodeo is a Brazilian style Rodizio restaurant also known as a Churrascaria. It’s a traditional steak restaurant that are as numerous as McDonalds over there- I speak from experience as I was lucky enough to visit Brazil years ago. Basically you pay a fixed price (reasonable and consistent, the price including drinks, desserts, cocktails, etc always seems to fall between 20-25 euros), once you are seated, passadores (meat waiters in traditional dress) take

your drink orders then tell you to help yourself from the enormous and varied salad/side dish island at the centre of the room. Be warned, there is so much to choose from and it’s so good it’s easy to forget you need room on your plate for the meat. Hot dishes like onion rings, chips, garlic mushrooms, corn on the cob and much more are available too. Once you’ve overdone it at the salad bar and sat back down, the passadores begin their almost endless circuit of the dining tables armed with skewers, trays and trolleys of delicious, barbecued meats, brought out from the huge indoor grill room that is glass fronted so you can observe your food being cooked. The choice of meat is amazing, chicken sausage, steak, lamb, turkey, gammon, ham, beef ribs, pork ribs, quail, black pudding, ham some served with different sauces or cheeses like Roquefort or Parmesan, the meats is always fresh and delicious and keeps coming until you pick up the card at your place

setting which is green one side (for yes I want meat) and red the other (for please stop bringing meat before I explode) and indicate that you’re done! If you survive the meaty challenge with room to spare, you can ask for the dessert trolley, which overflow with sugary delights all served with a huge dollop of whipped cream. You can also get into the Brazilian spirit by ordering a caipirinha, a potently delicious cocktail made at your table with crushed ice, fresh lime, sugar, fruit and cachaca, a Brazilian spirit made from sugar cane. Almost everyone dining at Rodeo seem to have been taken there or recommended by a regular, I’ve never seen it advertised and many people have probably passed by it without even realizing (it’s just past Gran Sur, past the McDonald’s end toward Adeje and it’s on the next corner looking onto the TF1). It’s a great night and I’m sure if you give it a go - you too will start taking everyone you know...just don’t plan anything too strenuous afterwards!

PrimarY school-age youngster from Calderdale, West Yorkshire, was given medical attention after he downed nando’s sauce, cream, mayo and vodka while friends filmed him guzzling the nauseating cocktail, after he was dared to take part in the internet drinking game craze, neknominate. The boy was violently sick and needed to be seen by a doctor after drinking the vile concoction. Council chiefs have told Twitter and Facebook they should publish prominent warnings of the dangers of the social media trend, which has already claimed three lives in the UK. Headmasters across the country are also reading out warnings in assembly and displaying them on noticeboards in an effort to discourage children from taking part. A witness said: ‘The boy’s mother was in tears that her son would try such a thing. He was fine in

the end, apart from feeling sick as a dog. Social media sites are full of this craze. There is such a loss of innocence these days and it is horrifying that kids in junior schools are urging each other to copy lethal games.’ Even the rugby player ‘behind internet NekNominate drinking craze’ says it has gone too far after three deaths have been linked to the game Michelle Foster, CEO of The Basement Recovery Project, an organisation that helps adults affected by drug and alcohol addiction, said: ‘It has gone on in my son’s school, so I’ve been involved in what’s going on there, the problem is that teachers themselves are doing it. How are you supposed to be telling kids it’s wrong if they can see you doing it on Facebook?’ The dangerous game which involves people filming themselves downing alcohol, nominating someone to continue the game, and posting the video on social media sites, has been blamed for the deaths of Bradley Eames, 20, Stephen Brooks, 27, and Isaac Richardson, 20.

eASY Jet come luggAge go

aY anD aUDreY are one of those couples that we refer to as swallows. they come from the rossendale valley in beautiful lancashire. as the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, they religiously pack their bags and head for the north of tenerife. they are a larger than life pair who contribute fun and colour to everything they do. This year, however, their trip has been ruined. Not because of the odd winter weather that we have suffered but because one of their bags went missing and it never arrived in Tenerife. As Audrey said, these things happen but the couple feel that “Easy Jet” has treat them badly and that the company has added to their misery rather that making life easier. They are very disappointed and it took them six weeks before they felt like going out and trying to enjoy themselves. Poor Ray even had to wear his wife’s knickers for the first couple of days. Audrey decided to wear the trousers and try to deal with easy jet which she says wasn’t easy at all. The first thing they had to

rYANAir

FeW `months ago i read about michael leary and his plan to make ryanair more passenger friendly. i have to tell you that i didn’t believe a word of it for one moment. i was wrong. Our extra little bag was allowed onboard with us. Our seat was allocated and there was no free for all this time. The announcements were nowhere near as intrusive as they used to be and the plane was clean.

do was fill in a claim form at the airport. They were told that they would get compensation for the first few days. Two months later they have had nothing. They were also told that a case isn’t considered lost until twenty one days have passed. Audrey and Ray are snappy dressers and good clothes cost a lot of money. They put in a claim for the case and its contents at 1100 pounds. The company offered them 400. They also said that it would take four to five weeks to go into their bank account. Ray and Audrey were looking forward to having a wonderful time. This winter was going to be a special one. Apart from Christmas and the New Year, There was a special birthday and a special anniversary to celebrate too. They feel very bitter and that it has been made very difficult to make their claim. They feel that the company

hasn’t been very helpful at all. I find it hard to understand how a bag can go missing in the first place. If the people handling the baggage did their jobs properly, it wouldn’t happen. Meanwhile two pensioners have had to muddle through their winter break with worry and hassle. What a disgrace. If a company can’t look after its customers properly then maybe they don’t deserve their custom in the first place. I suspect that this is a widespread problem and I also suspect that people are being shunned in this way all over the world. Thankfully, Audrey is no shrinking violet and all I can say is God help whoever is responsible for their problem when she gets back home. I suspect that someone will be getting a thick ear and that they will get a lot more compensation when she has finished with them.

We were an hour late on arrival but announcements were made and it wasn’t the fault of Ryanair but the result of other flights being delayed. People say that the food is expensive on board but I had a lovely chicken soup followed by a very meaty lasagne. It was tasty and the total cost was only 8 euros. Not expensive at all. I was happy with the flight and their service and I have no complaints at all. Well done Ryanair!

receSSioN AND mADriD

Pain is sUPPoseD to be in a deep and horrendous recession. i am in madrid as i write this week’s column and i can tell you that i bought a bottle of wine and came back to the hotel room because the streets and the bars and cafes were packed with people. even a frozen yoghurt shop had a queue coming out of the door at 10 o clock at night.

I couldn’t see any sign of a recession and I managed to get some shopping done before the shops closed. Tomorrow I will be going to one of the biggest street markets in the world and I suspect that it is going to be like bedlam down there. The rastro market starts quite early and I will love it! You really can’t help wondering where the recession is though. People seem to be falling over themselves to spend money! In two hours I bought three pairs of shoes, two shirts and a sweater, Roll on Tomorrow!

DNA Discovered

n FeBrUarY 28th, 1953, Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Frances h.C. Crick announced to the world that they have determined the double-helix structure of Dna, the molecule containing human genes.

DNA--short for deoxyribonucleic acid-was discovered in 1869, its crucial role in determining genetic inheritance wasn’t demonstrated until 1943. At the beginning of 1953, California chemist Linus Pauling, one of many scientists working on figuring out the structure of DNA In the

early 1950s,suggested an incorrect model prompting Watson and Crick to try and beat Pauling at his own game. On the morning of February 28, they determined that the structure of DNA was a double-helix polymer, or a spiral of two DNA strands, each containing a long chain of monomer nucleotides, wound around each other. According to their findings, DNA replicated itself by separating into individual strands, each of which became the template for a new double helix. In his best-selling book, The Double Helix (1968), Watson later claimed that Crick announced the discovery by walking into the nearby Eagle Pub and blurting out that “we had found the secret of life.” The truth wasn’t that far off,

Question 1: Name the Japanese art of miniature plant cultivation. Question 2: Which culinary delicacy is scientifically Ascomycetes? Question 3: Where did Napoleon go after the Battle of Waterloo? Question 4: How many red balls are on the table at the start of a snooker game?

Question 5: Name the Roman Emperor who was ruling when the invasion of Britain began in 43AD.

Question 6: What were all Britons able to enjoy for the first time on 29 May 1871?

Question 7: Which continental car company first adopted its distinctive diamond-shaped badge in 1924?

Question 8: What is the most southerly national capital city in the world at 41 degrees south?

Question 9: What word has been incorporated into over one thousand languages without changing?

Question 10: What climing orchid with fleshy leaves and fragrant greenish-white flowers is used as a flavouring?

Question 11: George V made the first royal Christmas broadcast in what

year?

as Watson and Crick had solved a fundamental mystery of science--how it was possible for genetic instructions to be held inside organisms and passed from generation to generation. The formal announcement of Watson and Crick’s discovery was on April 25, 1953, following its publication in that month’s issue of Nature magazine. The article revolutionized the study of biology and medicine. Among the developments that followed directly from it were pre-natal screening for disease genes; genetically engineered foods; the ability to identify human remains; the rational design of treatments for diseases such as AIDS; and the accurate testing of physical evidence in order to convict or exonerate criminals.

Crick and Watson later had a falling-out over Watson’s book, which Crick felt misrepresented their collaboration and betrayed their friendship. A larger controversy arose over the use Watson and Crick made of research done by another DNA researcher, Rosalind Franklin, whose colleague Maurice Wilkins showed her X-ray photographic work to Watson just before he and Crick made their famous discovery. When Crick and Watson won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they shared it with Wilkins. Franklin, who died in 1958 of ovarian cancer and was thus ineligible for the award, never learned of the role her photos played in the historic scientific breakthrough.

HoMe AnD gArDening By Linda Barratt

hile PraCtiCal in protecting interiors and providing privacy, curtains can also dictate the style of a room.

There are quite a few curtain headings to consider too when dressing your windows. Wow have things changed since I first married and we just used the old curtain wire threaded through the top to hang them. It’s possible to make your own curtains from practically any material, plus the use from a vast choice of heading tapes. Heading tapes are a way of customising and styling, the overall width of your fabric is reduced creating a range of pleats and folds by pulling up and gathering cords within the tape. Here are a few examples and a rough guide to fabric widths needed according to the type of curtain heading for your home made curtains, some of my examples use shop bought heading tapes. Pencil Pleated Heading Tape. Usually a stiffened tape in several depths from 2.5 to 6 inches, but there is available a lightweight version for use on sheer fabrics and both types of tape can have 1.2.or 3 rows of pockets for hoops. This is so that if using a pole to hang use the top row then the curtain will hang below the pole. Multiply the track or pole width by 2 to 2.5 when estimating curtain fabric

it’s curtains For You!

width. Box Pleated Heading Tape. This type of tape drapes into deep folds down the full length of your curtains. The pleats butt onto each other with no interval between them. Multiply the track or pole width by 3 when estimating for fabric width. Goblet Pleated Heading Tape Pleats fall from each goblet formed by pulling up the cords, usually 2 sets for medium to heavyweight fabrics. The goblets that then form at the top of your curtain can be stuffed with cotton wool or tissue paper to keep their shape. Multiply the track or pole width by 2 to 2.5. Cased Heading A simple hem is sewn across the top of your curtain and left open at the ends. A curtain rod or one of the good old fashioned curtain wires is slotted through this header hem and then fits onto sockets or hooks at the side of the window. Multiply the rod or wire length by at least 2. Multiply further for a more gathered effect. Tab Top This is a modern and less formal approach to window dressing. A

heading is created with loops of matching or contrasting fabric stitched onto the top edge and is suitable for all weights of fabric, but is only suitable for use with poles. Eyelet Headings The easiest way when making your own is to se eyelet tape. This is a header tape but differing from the other tapes that use cords in that it has holes in either plastic or metal upon which to hang your curtains from a pole. The tape is sewn onto the top back of your curtain and then a hole cut to correspond with the backing hole about 1” smaller. Then place the separate eyelet ring over the hole and press firmly to secure. Multiply the rod by at least 2....more for fuller curtains. How To Calculate Yardage Of Fabric To Purchase First of all take into consideration the length of your curtainsjust below window height, floor to ceiling or your own choice. To this length add on approximately 4” allowance for your hem plus any measured allowance for your header tape, tab tops, rings etc. Then measure the width of your pole or track and use the guided multiple widths. You may well find

Bird Of Paradise

heY’re BeGinninG to bloom. everywhere i go at the moment i can see their pretty heads of striking colours, poking their way into life. how magnificent they are.

Got a spare spot in your garden or a large pot to fill? Then this is the one with its year round large green spiked leaves and wonderful bloomage. It was once thought to be a large tropical herb related to the banana family but now has its own family name of Strelitziacea. I’m still pondering over the herb fact myself as the bird of paradise plant has no scent and being very English do associate aroma with herbs; but my oh my just how spectacular is its flower , a visionary bird it certainly is . Here’s how to grow your own from seed:1. Remove a dried seedpod from the bird of paradise, split it open and remove the black

pea-sized seeds. Put the seeds into a bowl of tepid water and soak for 24 hours. 2. Drain the seeds and remove any stringy orange tufts attached to them, and then nick each seed with a sharp knife or nail file. 3. Using a planting tray plant the seeds approximately 1”deep into moist potting soil several inches apart. Keep in a warm location but out of direct sun. Keeping the soil moist at all times it will take around 8 weeks for the seeds to germinate 4. You can then transplant you seedlings into individual 6” pots once they have formed 2 or 3 leaves. Still keeping the soil moist in a warm place and out of direct sun let them grow to roughly 6” - 8” They will then be ready for their permanent location in your garden or large pot. Planting holes will need to be the depth of the root ball but twice the width. Each clump can form up to 3 to 5 feet so be sure to give them plenty of space or that you use a large

pot or container. You need to remember to keep the soil moist until they are established, after which they can withstand very little watering preferring to remain fairly dry. You could of course cheat and buy an established plant, or if you have a friend with a already well established clump see if they might be willing to dig up and divide the clump for you to share. Should you choose to do this then the roots simply need to be planted into the soil at the same level that they already are but remembering to keep the soil moist until the plant has re-established. This will take roughly 90 days. As with all plants always remember too much or too little water can kill....keep it moist. A Bird Of Paradise does take roughly 4 years to bloom, but for me with its lush evergreen filling the spot its worth the wait for that splendid bloom to appear in all its glory. It is spectacular.

that the fabric of choice will need to be joined (panelled) by simple hemming to acquire this. DO NOT forget this when calculating your final yardage of purchased fabric. Also if your chosen fabric has a print or pattern then measure the design repeat distance and add to your calculated length to allow for pattern matching your pair of curtains

To Make Up Your Curtains Cut purchased fabric into your usable guided lengths. If you need to panel (join) extra widths then do so first, with a simple hem join and taking care to match in any design. Secondly hem both sides of your curtain to neaten (approx 1”). Then you can proceed to applying your tapes or headers for hanging your curtains as guided. Finally you can finish off with your measured hem at your curtain drop allowance, but i highly recommend that you firstly hang your curtains and pin at required length before removing from pole or track to sew.. My advice to the novice is start off with a small window area for practice and work your way up to bigger and grander window dressing with your home sewn curtains. Have Fun.

aquarius 20 January to 18 February

if you’re an inventive type, your thinking could be inspired, and you could feel blessed by the creative muse. Even though Mercury continues to rewind in your sign, this could highlight alternative viewpoints while sparking some brilliant ideas. Yet someone may not get the true uniqueness of one of your suggestions. it might take some persuading before this person is willing to listen. Where finances are concerned, read the fine print before shelling out your hard-earned cash for a big-ticket item.

Pisces 19 February to 20 March

As the Sun glides into your sign this week, you may get an energy and confidence boost that encourages you to express any ideas you’ve been hatching. Artistic and creative qualities could be very much in evidence, especially later in the week when a vivid dream could be worth your attention. it might highlight clues to resolving a problem or bring you inspiration that you can use in a practical way. Along with this, romantic opportunities may beckon.

aries 21 March to 19 April

You could be quite sensitive to other people’s moods and vibes this week, particularly as the Sun moves into Pisces, so try not to take offense where none is intended. You might also be inclined to sacrifice time and energy to help someone if it’s appropriate. On another note, someone may be holding out rather stubbornly for their point of view. if you want to make headway, put yourself in his or her shoes. it might enable you to consider a compromise.

taurus 20 April to 20 May

Some chores may be screaming for attention this week - before you kick back and relax with a special someone. Fortunately, your social life begins to brighten once the Sun glides into Pisces. However, you might need to take someone’s words with a grain of salt. The forces of confusion could be causing mixed messages and misunderstandings. There’s also a chance someone will go to some lengths to mislead you. However, a date night with your sweetheart could be especially delightful.

Gemini 21 May to 21 June

Get ready to shine as the Sun enters your zone of career and goals. Use this opportunity to showcase your skills, especially if it could lead to a better job or an exciting offer. However, don’t forget that Mercury is still in its retrograde phase, so take it easy when signing important documents. Facing a tricky situation? A change of perspective might help you navigate through any difficulties and make good because of it. it’s likely you’ll find the silver lining to that dark cloud after all.

Cancer 22 June to 22 July

Why not go ahead with that decorating project you’ve been contemplating? The continued presence of Mars in your domestic and family sector could be making you aware of those areas of your home that need a little improvement. if you feel like trying some DiY projects, it might be time to get started. However, you may also embrace the option of travel or even study once the Sun enters Pisces. The opportunity to expand your knowledge - particularly self-knowledge - could be quite enticing.

Leo 23 July to 22 August

it may help to know your limitations this week. Try not to take on more than you can handle. Part of this comes down to Mercury’s retrograde, which can cause holdups just when things seem to be going really well. But it could also be due to taking on too much and refusing to delegate. With Jupiter, your leisure and pleasure planet, in your spiritual sector, the cosmos may be hinting that you should take a back seat for a while, or at least ask those important folks in your life for some help.

virgo 23 August to 22 September

Although red tape could slow down certain matters, the week can still end on a note of achievement. However, this and the fact that Mercury continues to move backward could cause you to grit your teeth. There’s also a chance that delays could work in your favor. You may become more sensitive to other people’s feelings once Pisces glides into your relationship sector. Regarding a key person in your life, this could be quite a revelation, especially if he or she has always been something of a mystery!

libra 23 September to 23 October

As the Sun eases out of your romance sector it leaves Mercury in reverse. You may find that the past has more influence than the present on your love life this week. it’s possible that an old flame will come back into your life. Yet an edgy link suggests this may be the last person you want to see. You might need to let him or her know how you feel in order to avoid future awkwardness and embarrassment. Later, a focus on your wellness zone highlights the benefits of relaxed exercise.

scorpio 24 October to 21 november

Someone’s ability to bypass emotion may not sit well with your love of intensity and passion. Yet an edgy link suggests that you could develop a rapport that strengthens over time if you can compromise. Romantic opportunities filled with dreams and fantasies could be yours this week. if you feel your heart melting, it might be hard to resist that moment of surrender. However, check that this person doesn’t have a hidden agenda. if all is clear, you may be in luck!

sagittarius 22 november to 21 December

if you concentrate, you can come up with some excellent moneymaking ideas. As Venus forges ahead in your personal financial sector, the coast is clear for you to cash in on any brilliant plans you have in the pipeline. As usual, rebellious Uranus in your creative sector might be urging you to take a risk. if this is the case, carefully consider the pros and cons. While it’s great to move outside your comfort zone, you don’t want to jeopardize your security.

Capricorn 22 December to 19 January

Work gains could be likely, especially if you make your views known at a networking event or group meeting. The effort to mingle with key people may help you fulfill an important goal sooner rather than later. Where finances are concerned, deceptive trends suggest you will need to handle certain transactions with care, especially if shopping online. However, there may be bargains to be had if you know where to look. Later, a romantic date could be sensational.

WORLD’S LARGEST OYSTER

PaCiFiC oYster found off the coast of Denmark last october has been confirmed by Guiness World records as the world’s largest. the Pacific oyster was first introduced to european waters in the 1970s. at 14 inches long, about the length of a size 11 shoe, the giant mollusk’s superlative status was confirmed this week. The giant also has five smaller oysters attached to it and weighs in at over 3 1/2 pounds. Christine Ditlefsen, the Danish biologist who found the oyster, said: “The oyster is still alive and is on display in our exhibition here at the Wadden Sea Centre, we feed it plankton algae and it eats well, so we hope that we can keep it alive for many years.” Ditlefsen said the mollusk is probably between 15 and 20 years old, but an accurate age determination can’t be made until the oyster dies. Oysters can live to be more than 30 years old, she explained. While the words “world’s largest” have been

granted to a number of seafood dinners -- like a 1,000-plus-pound shrimp cocktail or a fourton bowl of mussels -- the newly crowned oyster is the first living shellfish to hold a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Fter BeinG inspired by a recent episode of Gordon ramsay’s Kitchen nightmares, i wanted to share this with you -“the great British Gravy Campaign” it’s about ditching the gravy

granules and making your own gravy… it’s not hard – is very cheap and you can be proud to say that it’s your very own homemade gravy. no more oooohhhh Bisto! – to be honest i am not a fan of gravy gran-

ules/powder etc.. and what’s more if you have somebody who has a gluten free diet – this is the recipe for you!

I have personally joined the gravy campaign at www.realgravy.co.ukand urge everyone to do so as they email you fantastic recipe ideas.

ingredients:

1/2 bottle of red wine (about 350ml) (I use white wine for poultry) 1 litre beef or chicken stock (depending on your roast)

methoD:

Gather your juices from the roast and place on a medium heat and add the thyme, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Cook for four to five minutes, then pour in the wine and bring to a simmer. Squash the tomatoes to help

thicken the sauce. Pour in the stock and bubble for about 10 minutes until reduced by half. Pass the gravy through a sieve, pressing the vegetables to extract their flavour. Bring back to the boil and reduce.

Gold-plated Harley, Only £535,000

ccording to the company, Danish motorcycle manufacturer Lauge Jensen, the special edition Harley-Davidson is the world’s most expensive motorcycle.

The customised gold-plated motorcycle worth 650,000 euros is on show at the Hamburg Motorcycle Days expo center A model does her best to look comfortable and alluring at the same time while straddling a gold-plated Harley-Davidson worth £535,000. Lauge Jensen recently launched its operations in Denmark and builds custom motorcycles that sell at a starting price of £53,996.

For Sale - Batman’s Lotus Reveal Tron Inspired “Light Cycle” ‘Tumbler’

s t r e e t- l e g a l replica of the Batmobile – not the crappy 60’s TV Batmobile, but the ultra cool Tumbler used in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. It’s a replica custombuilt monster with a massive V8 and costs more than a pair of Lamborghinis. It costs $1 million, which is around £600k and is therefore more expensive than a pair of Lamborghini Aventa-

dors. It has a GM-sourced LS1 V8 engine (a 5.7-litre V8, no less). It has monster 44inch tyres. It has a custom frame and chassis, an auto box, custom windows, five cameras and is one of just five replicas built, hence the price. It comes in one colour - black, and is the perfect accompaniment to any multimillionaire’s private Bat Cave. Its makers claim: “We have built this insane vehicle to be street legal. However, please understand that this is not a daily driver!” I NEED THIS!

ritish car firm Lotus have revealed plans to build their very first motorcycle based on the sci-fi design from the movie TRON. Only 100 bikes will be made - and Lotus has refused to reveal how much they will cost, but they have worked with the designer of the famous Tron light cycle from the hit film.

The C-01 is the first Lotus motorcycle - although the car firm will let someone else produce it, they will be available in a range of special Lotus colour schemes, and customers lucky enough to buy them can even design their own Lotus has released some specs: 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine 1,195cc 200 HP 6-gear jaw-type shift transmission

Ride height: 90 mm Height of seat: 710 mm Fuel tank capacity: 10.5l Dry weight: 181 kg The firm said: ‘Following two years of careful planning and intense development, Kodewa is delighted to announce that the prototype of the world’s first motorcycle to bear the legendary Lotus marque is now road registered and ready for action. The C-01 combines ample power via a V-twin engine with a distinctive body designed by Daniel Simon integrating carbon fibre, titanium and aerospace quality steel.’ The C-01 was designed by Daniel Simon, a former designer for Bugatti Automobiles who worked with Disney to design the Tron Light cycle in the hit film. He also designed the ‘Bubbleship’ used by Tom Cruise in the recent Universal sci-fi hit ‘Oblivion’. He said: ‘The design process of the C-01 was

a labour of love, there were many challenges, ensuring that the bike not only touches your visual senses with its timeless blend of classic appeal and modern execution, but that is safe and ergonomically sound was critical to me. We have worked hard to create a motorcycle with very distinctive features such as a clean main body, an extremely low side profile, a bold stance, a unique air intake, logical partline solutions and clean graphics.’ The original idea to create the C-01 came from Kodewa’s Dr Colin Kolles. Speaking about the project he said: ‘We set out to create a bike that isn’t just great to ride but also represents a piece of art in motion. Over the years I have seen my fair share of style over substance, what this bike brings to the market is a unique combination of both: state of the art technology with a truly jaw-dropping aesthetic.’ The bike combines carbon fibre, titanium and aerospace quality steel.

n episode two of the new series, wedding plans are hatched in the birthing pool, a couple face their fears in theatre and a naval officer is all at sea with the arrival of his first baby. First time mum Lucy (22) admits she’s afraid of everything from roller coasters to sewing needles, so the thought of giving birth is completely terrifying. She says she’s just little and wonders how on earth the baby is going come out. Doting boyfriend Sam (23) has his proposal to Lucy all planned out and the rings are en route from eBay. But despite all the distractions, panic soon sets in.

Amy (31) and her naval engineer husband Paul (31) arrive at Southmead Hospital for an induction. But after a quick examination, it becomes clear that Paul is far more squeamish than he expected. ‘If I could get away with pacing the corridor outside while the womenfolk give birth’ he says, ‘then I would.’ Amy is quite clear that is not going to happen and Paul will be by her side. Meanwhile, Dianne (33) is understandably concerned about giving birth as the last time she was in labour there were serious complications. This time Dianne and husband John (32) have opted for an elective Caesarian, but nerves begin to get the better of them.

mArADoNA to PlAY ProFeSSioNAllY AgAiN

ieGo maraDona , who is widely considered to be the best player ever is ‘set to resume playing career’ at 53 years of age. The footballing legend is said to be in talks with minnows Deportivo Riestra, who play in the fifth tier of Argentinean football, over a deal to join them until the end of

the season. The 1986 World Cup winner, known simply as ‘God’ in his homeland, has struggled with his weight in recent years but is said to be in good enough shape to start a match on March 23. He was put in touch with Riestra by one of his advisers who owns shares in the club, and he is now tipped to make his

debut next month. A Riestra club source has confirmed that the paperwork has been lodged with the authorities, and when quizzed about the news, Maradona told local newspaper Ole this week that he was ‘keen to play.’ A source at Riestra said: ‘Within a few weeks Maradona will be

playing for Riestra. We want him to debut on March 23. The paperwork is already being sorted.’ Victor More, a midfielder for the club, says he will ‘definitely’ give up his number 10 shirt to Maradona when he signs, so the left-footed genius can reclaim his favoured number.

Wayne rooney Signs Five-Year manchester united contract

ooneY has siGneD a five-year contract worth £78 million at manchester United, the club have confirmed. sir alex Ferguson said last summer rooney had requested to leave the club, which the forward privately denied. however, he was understood to be keen on joining José mourinho’s second coming at Chelsea, three seasons on from handing a transfer request in october 2010. twenty-eight-year-old rooney, who has revelled under David moyes’ management this season, was the subject of two rejected bids from Chelsea last summer as uncertain-

ty surrounded his future. however, with his previous contract due to expire at the end of the 201415 season, United have extended rooney’s old trafford stay nearly 10 years on from when Ferguson signed him. Rooney said:

“I am made up to be staying at United. In August I will have been at the club for 10 years and during that time I have played with some fantastic players and won everything that I hoped I would when I first signed. I now have the chance as one of the club’s senior players to help the younger players coming through and to be a part of another great United team. The fans have always been a huge part of this club and the support they have given me since my debut against

Fenerbahce has been amazing. I am very grateful to all United fans around the world for their continued support. I am really excited to be a part of the club’s future and want to thank David Moyes and Ed Woodward for their belief and support in me. I am convinced that this is the start of another successful chapter in Manchester United’s history.” United manager David Moyes said: “Wayne has been the best player in England since I put him into the Everton first team in 2003. Since becoming United manager in July last year, I have enjoyed working with him and seeing just how he has developed his incredible talent. With his ability, his experience and his desire to succeed, he is a vital part of my plans for the future and I’m absolutely thrilled he has accepted the challenge. I said last July that Wayne has an outstanding chance to be a true legend of this

club’s long and rich history. He is just 42 goals away from overtaking Sir Bobby as our record goalscorer and becoming the first United player to hit 250 goals for the club. These opportunities only come to special players and I’m confident Wayne will set a new record that will take decades to reach. These are really exciting times for everyone connected with the club.” Rooney seemed destined to leave United had Ferguson not retired last year. Moulded as a No.10 playmaker at Everton, Ferguson rarely used Rooney in that position on a consistent basis, as he initially preferred to build a team around Cristiano Ronaldo. When Ronaldo left in 2009, Rooney was converted into a striker and enjoyed his best season in 2009-10, but has struggled to replicate the performances he delivered that campaign and many United supporters are sceptical about the club’s decision to gift him a pay rise.

‘Loser keeps Bieber’

What a motivator! USA and Canada’s ice hockey stars have been warned ‘Loser keeps Bieber’, a booby prize no-one wants!

ncentives don’t come much bigger or better than this the USA’s men’s ice hockey side took on Canada in the Winter Olympics semi-final in Sochi this week and there is more than just a place in Sunday’s final at stake – the loser also has to claim ownership of irritating teen

pop hamster, Justin Bieber, according to a Chicago billboard. The 19-year-old, who was born in Canada but is also associated with the US, has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent years, resulting in his ‘brat’ tag. He is now being used to spur on two of the world’s top ice hockey

sides, starring on the billboard alongside Chicago Blackhawks players Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who represent the US and Canada respectively.

The giant advertising platform, owned by freight broker Command Transportation, is plugging the crunch match with the slogan ‘Loser keeps Bieber’.

Sochi Russian Win Scandal 4000 Euro Fine For Villarreal In Tear Gas Incident

early two million have signed a petition calling for an investigation into a 17-year-old Russian skater’s surprise win in front of home judges.

Adelina Sotnikova beat favourite and reigning Olympic champion South Korean Yuna Kim to the figure skating gold medal. Sotnikova finished with a total score of 224.59, beating Kim’s score of 219.11 by 5.48 points after the free skate program, becoming the first female Russian skater to win in the category. But many are questioning the win and argued Kim skated a winning program, as a result, a Change.org petition, demanding an investigation into the judging decision has been signed almost 1.8 million times. The reaction was immediate and vocal, with more than 700,000 people signing the petition within six hours. Critics are claiming the judging panel is made up mostly of Eastern Bloc states and the scoring is anonymous, one judge has previously been caught trying to fix an event at the 1998 Winter Olympics and another is married to the head of the Russian Figure Skating Federation. Another Russian skater, Yulia Lipnitskaya, fell multiple times but beat American Ashley

Wagner, who did not fall. Wagner said at a news conference Thursday: ‘I feel gypped, people don’t want to watch a sport where you see people fall down and somehow score above someone who goes clean.’ The current scoring system rates the technical elements of a skater’s routine, then the execution and presentation using a cumulative system. The most problematic impact of the system is that judges are now allowed to give their scores anonymously. Judges’ tendencies to inflate scores for athletes from their own countries and trade votes with other judges has increased 20 per cent since the rules were changed in 2004. Kim herself remained above all the fuss being made over the alleged robbery of her second Olympic gold medal, Kim said: ‘The scores are given by the judges, so I am not in the right position to comment on it. There’s nothing that will change with my words. The biggest thing was I felt relieved because it was over.’ Sotnikova seemed oblivious to the questions raised over her win, saying: ‘I won. It’s my gold medal. I can’t believe it. Two years ago, all of my competitions were very bad. I didn’t know if I had what it takes to be successful. Now I know that I do.’

fter a fan threw a tear gas canister onto the pitch during last weekend’s match against Celta Vigo, Spain’s Anti-Violence Commission has recommended that Villarreal be fined 4000 euros. In a statement released on Thursday, the Commission recommended the fine of 4000 euros, but adamantly

praised Villarreal and their security staff for “their great professionalism” in escorting the more than 13,000 fans out of the stadium within “10 minutes and without incident.” The match was temporarily suspended as players were forced to cover their mouths and faces. The Commission went on to praise Villarreal for their actions since the incident occurred, stating that their “collaboration, from the start of the incident, was impeccable,

following the orders of the head of security of the police force in order to evacuate the stadium,” stated that Villarreal and others should continue to take security measures to ensure these incidents don’t occur in the future. “Football clubs they should make use of all measures to control the access of spectators into their stadiums to avoid events like those witnessed at Villarreal happening again at a sporting spectacle.”

tHe sPorts sCene By Colin Kirby

the A team go Storming in For cD tenerife

rresistiBle and unstoppable, it all clicked together as CD tenerife turned on their most complete performance of the season to bring back a 1-3 victory from lugo. Quick brains as well

as quick feet were the order of the day highlighted by an injury time cracker that stemmed from a wonderful bottom corner free kick save by roberto. the game was already won but a clearance upfield was picked up by ayoze Perez, he had the vision and the pace and charged at the home side, rounded a defender and slipped the ball into the net. Captain for the day, Aridane, started the party after six minutes squeezing in between two mark-

ers to head in from a Moyano cross. Lugo were smarting from a six goal drubbing the previous week and desperate for a goal, it wasn’t going to come at Roberto’s expense, the young Tenerife keeper was down quickly to deny an early chance. Edgar has shown plenty of quality on the left since his January arrival, when he gets his shooting eye in he will be a great asset. Loro was back for a rare appearance and his in swinger from the left gave Ayoze a half chance that the keeper blocked. Lugo had their best spell at the half hour mark, Revella laid the ball off to Alvaro who made room to force the ball through the defence to make it 1-1. There was no doubting Tenerife’s spirit, Ayoze crashed into goalie Mallo chasing a free ball and he had to limp off. The second half was just underway when Roberto made

run, or Walk, For the hills in guia De isora t

here’s a taste of spring in the tenerife air and those beautiful rural hills

are calling. Guia de isora kicks off the trail running season with the Carrera de montana on saturday 15 march. There are several choices, walkers will

set off on a 10 km stroll at 9.30 am, then at 10 am it’s the turn of the runners with a 15 km or 25 km run over some rugged testing terrain. If you accept this mission you have to sign up by 13 March at www.carrerasvidatrail.com

another commanding stop from Manu, the replacement home goalie was a lightweight in comparison. Loro spotted Ayoze and gave him the ball, the forward’s run left the sub goalie stranded outside his box and for added cheek Ayoze played the ball through his legs straight into the goal. Tenerife thought they had added another after a show of strength from Aridane forced the ball through for

Carlos Ruiz to nod in the net but he was just offside. Aitor Sanz is really growing into his midfield role but needs to kick the yellow card habit, as he is a vital cog in the team, his latest yellow was the 14th this season. It was pretty comfortable as the game wore on, the referee twanged the nerves a bit by adding five minutes on, it could have been stressful as Pitta swung his free kick around the de-

fensive wall but Roberto and Ayoze ensured the points with that wonder goal. This Saturday there’s a tricky game at Castilla, the Real Madrid B team have finally woken up and pulled themselves out of the relegation zone. Tenerife will be missing Moyano with suspension, that should allow a return for transfer window arrival Ayoze Diaz after 11 years away from the club.

Time For Iberostar Tenerife To Dig Deep

ad form and injuries are testing Iberostar Tenerife to the limit, not the best time to play the top side in the ACB League. Barcelona have punished Tenerife in recent meetings and the trend continued with a 56-78 scoreline.

The game was slipping away from the start with quarter scores of 15-20, 10-18, 10-18, and 21-22. Nico Richotti and Saul Blanco shared top billing with 10 points and Jesus Chagoyen stepped up his game for 8 points but they

even coach Alejandro Martinez’s criticisms of the referee couldn’t account for the shortfall. New Greek pivot Lazaros Papadopolous only made his debut the previous week but missed this game with injuries in both legs and may be out for up to two more weeks. The club are carefully scanning his test results – there is a get out clause if his fitness proves to be an ongoing problem. On the court there’s no let up with a daunting trip to Real Madrid this Sunday for a noon tip off.

ddicted to winning, CD Marino made it four straight victories as they saw off Vecindario by a single goal to move within two points of leaders Granadilla in their section of Spain’s Tercera Division. Strong team work and determination are the foundations of this seasons success and in a frustrating game they ground down the visitors and got their reward with a Balduino goal in the 83 rd minute. Vecindario looked shell shocked after a troubled financial week but are now assured of seeing out the season, they found little sympathy from Marino who dominated the first half. Balduino was enjoying

his return to the starting line up with top scorer Murci unexpectedly dropped to the bench, after 11 minutes the big striker couldn’t quite keep his looping shot down and it cleared the bar. Aaron Darias at right back lost the ball a few times to give Vecindario some encouragement, Ruben had his moment but a soft shot didn’t trouble Alberto in the home goal. Captain Airam is always a solid support up front and with Yosimar lively down the right there were plenty of half chances. Ione was worth pressuring in the Vecindario goal, he took two grabs to stop a run of the mill shot but did better getting a hand to a Balduino effort as Airam waited to pick up the crumbs. Marino went in at half time wondering how they never got a touch to a low cross from Darias that skimmed

across the goalmouth. A speculative long range shot from the Gran Canaria side was never going to cause any concern at the start of the second half while at the other end Josito hit a difficult strike on the turn that wasn’t far over the bar. Murci was called into action for Yosimar and Pulido added an extra attacking body for defender Mendy but somehow Vecindario clung on. Airam gave the defence the jitters, they were lucky that a random deflection didn’t breach their net. Richard Jimenez put a free kick wide, Airam blasted over but amid anxious looks at the clock Pablo blasted the ball at the defence and the rebound came to Balduino who gratefully grabbed the goal. This weekend it’s Lanzarote away and a chance of claiming the top spot.
