Bankia To Be Broken Up

The new chairman of Bankia, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, will propose the partial nationalisation of its parent company Banco Financiero y de Ahorro (BFA), which is floundering under the weight of its exposure to the ailing real estate sector, financial sector sources said this week. The plans have caused some concern in the Canary Islands; where many locals and ex-pats have savings and mortgages. The operation will be carried out by converting a loan of 4.464 billion euros granted to BFA by the state´s Orderly bank Restructuring Fund (FROB) into shares, which will give the government control both of BFA and its commercial banking arm Bankia, the country’s fourth-biggest lender with over 10 million customers and assets

of over 340 billion euros. BFA is currently fully controlled by Caja Madrid, Bancaja and the other five savings banks, or cajas; which merged to form it. BFA is Bankia’s largest shareholder with a 45.3-percent stake and currently acts as its so-called “bad bank” in that it holds the real estate assets of the group. The Bank

of Spain and the government believe BFA might need between seven and 10 billion euros to clean up its balance sheet. Bankia currently has capital of 3.5 billion euros. Goirigolzarri was named chairman of Bankia by its board on Wednesday after former Economy Minister Rodrigo Rato had resigned on Monday when it became apparent that the government was poised to intervene. Goirigolzarri, a former CEO of BBVA bank, was expected to be also as the new top official by Bankia’s board. His proposal for the state to take a controlling stake in BFA requires the approval of its directors as well as that of the FROB, which operates under the auspices of the Bank of Spain. It will then require the go-ahead from the European Commission.

Vidal Sassoon dies at his la home

Celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon, who revolutionised women’s cuts in the 1960s with his sharp geometric styles, has died at his home in Los Angeles, aged 84. Police were called to Sassoon’s mansion on Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, at about 10.30am on Wednesday where they found the stylist dead. A police spokesman said they determined he died of natural causes and there would be no further investigation. Sassoon was reported last year to have been suffering from leukaemia.

of complacency and ineptitude to me. There’s a palpable buzz running through our offices at the moment. Excitement is growing for the upcoming Jubilee party. It’s going to be a cracker! Check out our centre pages for more details. Have you noticed the change in the weather? Finally, the summer has arrived. To the visitors to our island, who may be thinking that Tenerife is sunny all year round; I ask you to turn to your left and ask the ex-pat sat beside you what the weather was like two week ago. Brrrr. It was sad to hear the news about the death of Niki Baker (page 6.) She was a well-known and well-respected member of the community. Always friendly, and a voice so powerful it could stun the hardiest of men. She was a talent that will certainly be missed. Rest in peace, Niki. Colin Taylor

Where is Wee Keeley?

Hello readers, I can now empathise with my brother, back in the UK: when the banking bubble burst over there, leaving Northern Rock Bank teetering on the edge of oblivion, my brother was having panic attacks; having ISAs, savings and mortgage with them. Now Spain’s fourth-largest bank, Bankia, are looking decidedly wobbly too. Guess where my cash is… It’s not all doom and gloom though, as the restructuring of the bank seems to be happening before the point of no return. Phew. Personally, I have no idea how banking works, but surely there are mechanisms in place to find these problems before they become dangerous – to stop the rot, so to speak. The whole thing smells

Another week and Matt had the office phone ringing away for the competition. This week we asked Alex to dip his hand into the pot to pick our winner. Congratulations this week go to Rayner Ardeman for the issue 30 competition for finding Wee Keeley on page 34. Mark at Vivo Decades has booked her and a guest in to see the Decades Dinner Show this Sunday. Wee Keeley has been on the move around the paper and found a new page that he wanted to hide on. If you can spot him then call our office on

Happy searching.

Sam Worthington as Perseus Liam Neeson as Zeus Ralph Finnes as Hades

SYNOPSIS:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades

and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned..

Crime Rate in the Canaries Is Le ss T han Nati onal Ave rag e

The Government delegate in the Canary Islands, María del Carmen Hernández Bento, has stated that the crime rate of the Canary Islands is nearly two points below the national average. In a statement, she said that the Canaries have a crime rate of 46.5 crimes or offenses per thousand inhabitants, compared to 48.4 per thousand for the national average. Hernández Bento made the assessment from data released by the Home Office, indicating that the Canaries had reported, from January to March, 26,689 crimes or offenses. According to these data, in those three months, violent crime increased in the archipelago by 2.4 per cent (increased from 797 to 816), robberies in the home grew by 41.5 per cent (from 725 to 1,026) and intentional homicide and murder surged 50 per cent (4 to 6). In contrast, motor vehicle theft fell by 26.0 per cent (down from 793 to 587) and drug trafficking offenses decreased by 20.8 per cent (from 236 to 187).

Criminal damage offenses fell 0.5 per cent (from 2320 to 2309), and thefts decreased 0.1 per cent, falling from 9,550 to 9,249. The Delegation has stressed that

the increase in burglary matches the national trend and considered as “very significant” the reduction in vehicle theft, drug trafficking criminal damage and theft.

The state’s intervention will give Goirigolzarri a free hand in naming a different board for BFA, whose current make-up includes politicians and labour union representatives. The option of converting the FROB loan into capital will avoid the government having to pump more of taxpayers’ money into the bank to clean it up. The Prime Minister is due to announce further reforms to the banking system as a whole. Speaking at news conference after a summit meeting in Porto, Rajoy said: “The decisions we will take on Friday and before will move in the right direction. We know what has to be done and we’re going to do it.” The measures are expected to include requiring banks to make

further provisions for potential losses from real estate assets. There is also the possibility that the government will announce the creation of a real estate company into which those assets would be folded, allowing the banks to clean up their balance sheets. The government’s decision to backtrack on its avowal not to inject further public funds into the banks came in response to a growing lack of confidence by investors of the Spanish banking system, which has been forced to borrow record amounts from the European Central bank. Spain’s country risk premium hit its high for the year at over 450 basis points on Wednesday, while bank shares plunged, led by Bankia.

Energy Efficiency Saves, Creates G o v e r n m e n t a n d New Jobs and Reduces Pollution P P C l a s h O v e r

Francisco Javier Sigüenza, general secretary of the Association of Comprehensive Maintenance and Energy Services, gave a conference in Tenerife this week on energy saving and efficiency; in which he said energy efficiency saves, creates jobs and reduces emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The conference was organised by the Board of the University of La Laguna, who say that Spain does not meet the legal obligations on energy efficiency, as regulated by the European Union. Spain was among the pioneering countries in Europe to take steps to ensure that energy efficiency was to be key to economic growth, and therefore approved the 2000S plan; by which the state administration and the autonomous communities came to an agreement to construct 2,000 energy efficient buildings. The plan is in place, but with the change of government, work has lost momentum and is now awaiting word from the Executive. In the private sector, according to Francisco Javier Sigüenza, one must keep in mind that companies are bogged down in legal wranglings with

Ta x I n c r e a s e s

the local councils. The secretary general of explained that the private sector is “very important”; with some companies being tasked with building the infrastructure for the electricity demand in what is called “cold/heat networks.” Barcelona is an example, with a network of cold networks (the largest in Europe,) with more than five miles of pipes running through the city, which flows the central air conditioning for both hotels and office centres. It is estimated that the sharing of this resource by

multiple businesses gives a saving of about 45 per cent in energy. Francisco Javier Sigüenza explained that the investment to put energy efficiency installations in is borne out by the companies that use it, so the public do not need to make any investment. Energy efficiency systems are varied and range from the use of renewable energy with solar panels, wind turbines or photovoltaic; to changes in the system where repairs and maintenance can be carried out without having to shutdown networks.

The regional government and the main parliamentary opposition group, Partido Popular (PP) have clashed again on account of tax increases and cuts in salaries in the Regional Administration agreed by the Executive. The Minister of Economy, Security, Finance and regional government, Jávier González Ortiz, was asked to appear in the House to explain the impact of the draft of the State Budget. The PP said that “this government cannot be left alone because they mount an orgy on tax. Instead of privatising more revenue from regional television they are eliminating the Policia

Canaria and allowing oil exploration.” Ortiz retorted with the same ironic tone of his questioner “I will tell you that the State will comply with the objective of stability if we find oil. You will not find that we have to adjust the deficit for this year, “he added.

The art of storytelling has been a habitude being practiced from generations to generations, but as always there are always some stories that leave a mark in our lives and create a special place in our hearts and consciousness that we consider them to be ingenious, not just because of its figurative way of being presented to us, but simply because of the backlash it brings about in our being and day to day lives. he Hindu epic Ramayana is a great exemplification of such an allegory. Indeed one of the best stories ever narrated of all times. The epic Ramayana was written by a Hindu sage, named Valmiki, and is one of the great epics of Indian literature aside from the Mahabharata. It presents to us the different conflicts and relevance of relationships by portraying and displaying ideal characters like: father and son, siblings, husband and wife, the king and his subordinates, etc. etc. Literally, Ramayana means “the journey of Ram”, Lord Ram being the protagonist of the story is the avatar of the Hindu God, Vishnu, who is known to be the preserver of humanity. This epic narrates the story of how Lord Ram, whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon king of Lanka, Ravana, fights his enemy with the help of Hanuman to get his wife back. This is just a nut shell of the story though, as this epic also exhibits philosophical and devotional elements in presenting to us how commendably this noble character handles conflicts of kinship, and personal relationships. It also exposes how Lord Ram lives his whole life by abiding to the principles of Dharma (duty) and Satya (truth), even if it meant sacrificing his kinship to keep to his father’s promise. Lord Ram was the eldest of four sons and was to become the successor of his Father in attaining the Kinship of the kingdom of Ayodhya. His stepmother however wanted to see her son- Bharata, Ram’s younger brother to become the king. Recollecting that the king had once promised to grant her any two wishes she desired, she demanded that Ram be banished and sent for exile, and Bharata be crowned. The king had to keep his word to his wife and ordered Ram’s banishment. Lord Ram accepted the order of his father unquestioningly. “I gladly obey my father’s command”, he said to his stepmother “why, I would go even if you ordered it”. When his wife Sita heard her Lord was to be sent away for exile she

The Ramayana - The Narrative Of Contention In Relationships Jyoti Prakash Udhwani, Correspondant for the local Indian Community

begged to accompany him to his retreat in the forest. She reminded Ram that she is actually his shadow; therefore she has to follow him wherever he goes and told him that it is her dharma as his wife to be at his side always. “Let me walk ahead of you so that I may smoothen the path of your feet,” she pleaded. Ram agreed, and thus Ram, Sita and his younger brother, Lakshman, all went to the forest for a fourteen-year exile. When his other brother, Bharata, learned what his mother had done out of selfish love for her son, he sought Ram in the forest. “The eldest must rule”, he reminded him. “Please come back and claim your rightful place as the king of Ayodhya”. Lord

Ram refused to go against his father’s wish, so Bharata took his brother’s sandals and said, “I shall place these sandals on the throne, as symbols of your authority. I shall rule only as regent in your place, and each day I shall put my offerings at the feet of my lord. When the fourteen years of exile will be over, I shall joyously return the kingdom to you.” Ram was very impressed with his brother’s selflessness. As Bharata left, Ram said to himself, “I should have known that you would renounce gladly what most men work lifetimes to learn to give up”. ater in the story, Ravana the evil king Lanka, (now present day Sri Lanka) abducted Ram’s wife, Sita. Ram then gathered the aid of a multitude of army, headed by the monkey God, Hanuman, a great devotee of Ram. Together they built a causeway to Lanka, released Sita and brought her safely back to Ayodhya. In spite of all this Sita was asked by Lord Ram to prove her purity before she was taken back. She actually had to go through an ordeal of fire, to prove her purity: a clear example that Lord Ram never compromised with his principle of Dharma, at every stage in his life, no matter the relationship. This is a synopsis of the whole account, if

one actually goes through this epic, page by page in detail, we would be presented with all the reputable qualities of its protagonist; on how he employs these virtues in overcoming any situation. No matter what the situation, the principle of dharma always comes first. SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON DHARMA harma is a word that defies exact translation, in English or any other language, but can be said to mean, as Swami Chinmayananda says, “the values of life that sustain us”. In the progress of Indian philosophical thought, the word dharma has acquired such a comprehensive and complex significance another definition can also be “the law of being”. The essential characteristic of a thing, without which it cannot remain as that thing, is its dharma. For example the sweetness of sugar, the heat of the fire, and the luminosity of the sun. Dharma is ethics and religion combined. In general, it stands for all those ideals, purposes,

influences, institutions, and ways of conduct that shape the character and evolution of a person; both as an individual and as a fragment of a society.

Dharma is also the law of right living, the practice of which fulfils two objectives: happiness in life and liberation from all bondage. An excerpt from the Mahabharata states that “Nobody has ever violated the principles of dharma without ultimately causing disaster.” Therefore, unethical action may carry a man to heights of power and prosperity for a time, but these gains are all temporary and eventually lead to his downfall. If we go deeper beyond the contexts, a further understanding of the relevance of this epic will explain to us that worldly transactions involve both knowledge and action. We perceive and experience objects through our senses and then we react to the experienced objects. Knowledge is perception and reaction is the response to perception. Our actions, reactions and dealings are determined by our philosophy and value of life. This concept also brings about the importance and the need of going back through the pages of our historical references as a basis for our daily lives, as stated by an authority in religion. Hindu literature is so vast and comprehensive that there is no branch of knowledge left uninvestigated. re these old age literary materials still feasible in the 21st century, one may ask? The nature and cause of the world and the reality behind it has not changed over the years. Man is almost the same now as he was then; in terms of likes and dislikes, anger, ambitions, frustrations, love, struggle and so on. These stories narrate to us the unchanging aspect of man and his struggle. Therefore they are as relevant today as they were then, in fact more so. Today we find that our problems have multiplied; stress and tension have increased, whereas our freedom and peace of mind has decreased. Hence, this is the time for us to go back and browse through these old pages of significant historical references prepared for us by our literary connoisseurs, so as to speculate and develop an understanding to improve our present state.

I had the pleasure of meeting Niki as soon as I moved on the island, she came along wanting to sing in my bar - Star Lights, I gave her a go and wow, it was Tenerife’s answer to Shirley Bassey. Ever the professional Niki, with her glitzy attire and wonderful jewellery and high heel shoes to match, she just looked the part. When she used to sing, the moves she used to make portrayed her favourite singer Dame Shirley Bassey. Niki had been in the industry for over 60 years and that is some honour. She belted out all the hits, using her box of many Mini discs (a compares nightmare) swapping through over 20 mini discs from song to song,) but Niki wanted it done her way, and it was always done so right. A couple of years later when she used to play in the bar with Jose on Sax, it was again a wonderful experience. You had to be in the bar way before she started to

get a good seat. She used to go round the village telling all her friends, and they turned up shouting requests and then get up to have a dance, truly wonderful evenings you can’t forget. Niki always used to mention the past and the many people she had sung and played with; and she had done it all. She was still in her 70’s and going strong.

Only a couple of weeks ago she filled a local bar in the square Exiles Bar and they had an amazing night. I’m only sorry I never got to see that performance. There are so many memories I could share of Niki and I for one will really miss her as I know Silencio will be missing a very good person. She used to come past the office in the morning looking for

her newspapers; she used to love what was going on within Tenerife. Niki had a faithful companion in her pet poodle, Pepe. They were always seen together. One of my last experience and times I spent with Niki was taking her to Music Hall Tavern , a music comedy drag show. With 12 of her friends, she absolutely adored it, and was singing a long all night Am not sure whose dress had more sequins; if it was Titti Trollop or Niki’s. She loved meeting the cast and comparing jewellery and Glitz. She was looking forward to a return trip. Niki, in my eyes and I am sure many others, you are a true star, and hopefully have found peace and I know that the angels will now be happy as they have found a new singer tonight to join them. We’ll miss you, Niki. Sleep well and keep singing. Gareth

Based on our fantastic week at Easter, when 22 children joined in our activities, we are planning to make the time as fun filled as possible - purposeful play! I am conscious that many parents want their kids to keep studying, but I like to sneak up on the children so they don’t realise they are working! As I like the children to feel they have input into their activities, they may help to decide the topics they want to study, but that will depend on the age and capabilities of the group involved. If you look at our photos on the website and Facebook page, you will see the sort of thing we have done in the past; such as making a puppet show and creating a town.

The topics I have in mind to kick start us are ‘Under the Sea’ and ‘Pirates’, but the choice is endless! The Diamond Jubilee and Olympics in the UK are also events that would make for interesting activities. At 11.00 we will be stopping for snack time, and around 1.00 will be time for packed lunches, all of which the parents provide. We have a fridge available at the centre to store food safely. Children can be dropped off & collected at any time between 9 - 4, and the charges are as follows: 2.50 Euros per hour 15 Euros per day 70 Euros Euros per week (to be paid in advance on Monday morning) Hope to see you and your children in July and August!

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 useful information

This week we shall be looking at that strange beast, the trust. In my next article we will then look at the uses that these trusts can be put to. For the UK domiciled person, a UK and offshore trust are treated in different ways for income tax and capital gains tax purposes, and it is essential that professional advice is taken prior to embarking on the setting up of a trust. In many ways, a UK and Offshore Trust are similar in structure; it is the taxation and confidentiality issues which differentiates them. In fact, for non-UK domiciliaries, the UK can be used as a base for an Offshore Trust. What is a Trust? In basic terms a trust is a legal arrangement whereby property is transferred by one person (the Settlor) to one or more persons (the Trustees) to be held by them on agreed terms for the benefit of persons or entities (the Beneficiaries). The arrangement is normally contained in a legal document called the Trust Deed, although in its simplest form it can be verbal.

The Settlor

The Settlor may be one or more persons, and may be an individual or a corporate entity. He may be a Trustee of the Trust and may also be one of the Beneficiaries, although this may have adverse tax consequences in the case of UK trusts.

The Trustees

The Trustees may be either individuals or a corporate entity. Corporate entities whose primary object is the management of trusts and who comply with certain conditions may be known as Trust Corporations. Generally speaking, there will need to be a minimum of two trustees or a Trust Corporation.

The Beneficiaries

These are the persons or other entities - corporate or most commonly charities who will receive benefits from the Trust. They may be entitled to regular payments of income from the Trust assets, use of the trust assets during their lifetime (e.g. occupation of a house) or entitled to receive some or all of the Trust assets at some future date (e.g. when they reach the age of twenty five years). Beneficiaries may be described by name, “David White”, or by reference to a class, “all my grandchildren”. Depending upon the jurisdiction under which the Trust is set up, the Beneficiaries may have certain rights against the Trustees, to compel or restrain them from performing certain acts. The Trust Deed itself may also give the Beneficiaries certain rights. There is a further class of Beneficiaries called “Discretionary Beneficiaries”. These Beneficiaries are found, not surprisingly, in Discretionary Trusts, or hybrid Trusts. They have no fixed right to receipt of any benefit under the Trust and it is up to the Trustees to exercise their discretion as to when and to what extent they are to receive any benefit from the Trust. In this connection it is common to find that the Settlor will provide the Trustees with a Letter of Wishes giving guidance as to how they should exercise their discretion. A further protection is afforded to the Settlor that the Trustees will comply with

Trusts

his wishes by giving him the power to remove the Trustees should he so desire, or alternatively, appointing a Protector to oversee some of the Trustee’s powers and duties

The Protector

A Protector is often appointed, particularly in the case of Offshore Trusts and Discretionary Trusts, to ensure that control is exercised over the way in which the Trustees use their powers and discretions. The Protector will also be appointed in the Trust Deed where his powers will be set out. Provision will typically be made in the Trust Deed for certain acts of the Trustee to require the prior approval of the Protector, such as when distributions are to be made to beneficiaries, investment of trust monies are to be carried out, and when further beneficiaries are to be added to the Trust. Under UK law, there are basically three main types of trust; all other trusts are hybrids of these. These trusts are as follows: The Interest in Possession Trust Under this type of Trust, there is a beneficiary who is entitled to receive the income earned by the Trust assets, or if there are assets of a type not generating income, e.g. a house, to the use of that asset. The Beneficiary is not entitled to outright ownership of the assets, but to the enjoyment during his or her life, or for such shorter period as may be stipulated in the Trust Deed. Such a Beneficiary is commonly known as a Life Tenant or Tenant for Life. Upon the death of the Life Tenant or upon an earlier event specified in the Trust Deed, the Trust Deed will specify what is to happen to the Trust Fund. There may be a succeeding Life Tenant, the Trust may then turn into a Discretionary Trust, or the Trust Funds may be distributed to named Beneficiaries. This type of Trust is commonly used as a measure against potential Creditors or to guarantee a Dependant’s security of tenure of a property. It is classed as a Potentially Exempt Transfer for UK Inheritance

Tax Planning purposes. This means that the making of such a Trust will have no Inheritance Tax consequences for the Settlor if he is not a Beneficiary under the Trust, provided that he survives for seven years. The Discretionary Trust This type of Trust is the most commonly used for Offshore Trusts as it enables the greatest flexibility coupled with a great

degree of confidentiality if required. The Trust has no Beneficiaries who have an outright entitlement to receive the Trust Assets or the income from them. Instead, the Trustees may choose to benefit from a group of Beneficiaries mentioned in the Trust Deed. As mentioned above it is common for a Letter of Wishes to be given to the Trustees by the Settlor at the time the Trust is created. Under a Discretionary Trust, the Trustees may if they so wish, accumulate the income of the Trust rather than pay out to Beneficiaries, provided that the Law Against Perpetuities is not breached. This allows Trustees in the case of a UK trust to accumulate income for not more than 21 years and the Trust must come to an end in not more than 80 years from the date of creation. These time limits may well not apply to other jurisdictions or the time limits may be longer. The Discretionary Trust is the basis for a wide variety of defensive tax planning instruments. The discretionary nature of the Trustees’ powers increases its protective nature. The making of a Discretionary Trust gives rise to an immediate Inheritance Tax charge at half the death rates for persons domiciled in the UK. It is important that the UK domiciled Settlor is excluded from benefiting under the Trust to avoid any adverse Inheritance Tax implications.

Immigrant Boat Washes Up On Lanzarote Beach

At approximately 02.45 on Wednesday morning a small boat arrived on Pocillos beach, in the municipality of Tias, Lanzarote. Eight illegal immigrants were found on board, said sources from the Meritorious Europa Press. The authorities received a notice informing them that a boat had beached with an unknown number of people. The alarm was raised which triggered a search that led to the arrest of the eight people. Although it is not known how many of the people were men or women, it was

reported that at least four of the arrivals were children. Meanwhile, the Guardia Civil continues searching

On Wednesday, environmental firm, Urbaser, and the Works and Services department of Candelaria cleaned some 4,500 kilograms of algae from their beaches. The origin of the algae is unknown at present. The Council advised that the beaches

at Los Guaches, El Charquito, El Alcalde, El Muelle, Punta Larga and Las Caletillas were affected. At the moment the area is under constant cleaning to eradicate the problem, with the algae being processed at the PIRS facility, near Tajao.

Immigrant Associations May Agree With Autonomous Primary Care Illegal immigrants can receive health care in primary care units, through agreements are still to be signed in regions with associations that cater to this group; as provided for under the regulations of the decree to reform health care. The Minister of Health, Ana Mato, insisted that health care “is guaranteed for all” and that the objective of the measures adopted by the Government is to prevent abuses and excesses and “put some order” into the health system. After ensuring that the Health Act remains in force “one hundred per cent”, which guarantees free health care, Mato stated that “transportation to the doctor’s surgery or hospital will continue” , although the decree stipulates that non-emergency medical transportation will be on a “co-pay” basis. To clarify the matter the Minister hypothesised that

if, for example, you needed to travel to the hospital for dialysis, you would not be charged under the copay system; as the entire cost of the journey will be paid for by the particular department in the medical facility. The health minister has indicated that 90% of older people will pay a maximum

of 8 euros a month for drugs. As for the possibility that the morning-after pill is to be sold by prescription, the minister said that this issue is not ideal and explained that she has commissioned a new report on the effects of the health of women, after the three previous reports were not conclusive.

Arrecife Fines Councillor for Unauthorised Absence

A governance group from Arrecife’s City Council has imposed a fine against a town councillor from Lanzarote’s Independent Party (PNL), Pedro de Armas. In January he took a journey through America and the Caribbean and has been absent for more than four months without justification. The City Council said that they are not willing to tolerate “frivolous attitudes” towards taxpayers’ money; as Mr Armas not only left his post without official notification, but has not submitted his receipts for his expenses. He has yet to return from his sabbatical. The decision will be announced next week at a meeting of the board of city government, headed by Mayor Manuel Fajardo Feo, which is expected to set a financial penalty against the mayor that, according to municipal sources, could be around 900 euros.

NIEs and Registros on Hold

Due to new regulations announced on 25th March 2012, EU nationals who wish to remain in Spain for more than 3 months must comply with certain conditions before a Certificado de Registro will be issued. A problem has arisen in the Extranjería part of the Comisaría in Playa de las Américas. Until the rules are clarified, along with the necessary procedures the police must follow, the issuing of

Certificados de Registro is on hold. The issuing of NIEs is also halted. Anyone now considering applying for a Registro should not do so, and anyone needing a NIE will need

to go to the tax office to acquire a transitional one, which will be ratified by the police in due course when they start processing them again.

Calls To Maintain Health Mootoo Management S e r v i c e H e l i c o p t e r s Children Casting Call

The Canarian Parliament has unanimously asked the regional government to maintain the services of two helicopters serving as advanced life support, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. One helicopter is based at Tenerife South airport and the other in Gran Canaria. Although the coalition CC-PNC- NCC ensured that there are no plans to reduce services, the deputy of the PP, Mercedes Roldós, proponent of the initiative, said it is understandable that for economic reasons the government will want to cut this service, though it is vital and essential for severely ill patients. Set against the need to maintain this service, with five million euros for the Common Representative and the use of helicopters by the Prime Minister, Paulino Rivero, “to attend pilgrimages”, Roldós argued that hospitals in the outer islands need to transfer patients to referral hospitals, and special topography causes the evacuation of critically ill patients by helicopter. DC Congresswoman, Maria del Mar

Mootoo Model Management has made a casting call for children for a German catalogue shoot in Tenerife in the first week of June. The agency is specifically looking for boys and girls with the following heights: 96-106cm / 126-136cm / 138-148cm. No previous modelling experience is necessary. If you would like to take part in this casting, please send an email to booker@mootoo.eu and include a RECENT photo, name, height, age and telephone number. The client will be making a pre-selection. Parents: please double check heights before sending emails.

Gastronomic Arico

Julius, said no one questions the need to retain the services of the two helicopters, but criticised the demagoguery of the PP to generate alarm when it is already clear that they will continue operating the two helicopters. Introduced as an amendment, rejected by the PP, the Spanish government will pay towards the costs of the inter-island transfer of patients.

The City of Villa de Arico and Turismo de Tenerife, through product Savour Club Tenerife, have launched the third edition of the Gastronomic Arico, whose flagship product is honey. Until the 30th of May you will find gourmet recipes made with honey in the 17 restaurants and bars participating in the scheme. The Cabildo’s Minister of Tourism, Carlos Alonso, explained that “we do not compromise on these samples, by our traditional cuisine and local produce; here honey is as a major tourist attraction that

brings value and authenticity to our island.” Besides the culinary recipes in restaurants and bars, honey production workshops and activities designed especially for children will also be in full swing. The aim of the activity is to teach people about the municipality and to explain the importance of honey in the aboriginal history of the area. Hence, the appearance of a bee hive on the municipality’s coat of arms. The phone number information for participation in the honey route and other activities is 922 768 177 (Local Development Agency, City of Villa de Arico).

The Municipality of

San Cristóbal de La Laguna An Insightful Guide - Part Three

By Carlos Hernández This importance ends in 1818-1819 with the creation of the Nivariense Dioceses that establishes its headquarters in the city. Since its beginnings it has had a school, enlarged with different academic grades and with studies supplied by the convents until, in 1927, the University of San Fernando de La Laguna was founded. Culture Amongst the local celebrations, the most notable is the Pilgrimage of San Benito, on the first Sunday of July, where people from all of Tenerife come. The other great civilian and religious celebration is the Festivity of Christ, on the 14th of September, with a spectacular exhibition of fireworks. Also Our Lady of la Esperanza on January 18th and the Patron Festivities on August 17th. These are Festivities of great tradition and of special devotion are the Corpus Festivity and Holy Week. The hearts of Tejina, at the end of August, is a great popular Festivity, where each neighbourhood brings out its Heart, which is decorated by covering it in bread, cakes and fruits. It is carried on the shoulders of the men, followed by a lively parade. The manufacture of traditional costumes is characteristic of this municipality as well as the reproduction of aborigine ceramic pieces. The variety of crafts activities are endless, most outstanding are the lace work, embroidery, metal works, musical instruments, cane cages and wood work. Flora & Fauna There is abundant tabaibal-cardonal and spaces of green mountain are conserved, with ample extensions of fayal-brezal and laurisilva. Natural Protected Spaces

In 1723 the General Captaincy of the Island’s armed forces was transferred here. Many temples joined the first parishes,

A Quick Recap of Part 2

Our main focus last week was the battle of Aguere, where the Spanish finally conquered the indigenous people of Tenerife, the Guanches. The king of the Guanches, mencey Bencomo, died during the assault, leaving the demoralised islanders to capitulate to the conquistadors demands. History Its name originated from a small lake that used to exist where the population settlement is today. In 1496 the city is founded with the settlement of soldiers and civilians in the area surrounding the Church of La Concepción where, for the first time, the Festivity of the Corpus was celebrated. Since 1497 its Chapter House was active, following its own orders. In 1500 the construction of other buildings in this area was prohibited. After the island’s conquest and up until the 17th century, it became its first capital and centre of politic and economic power, although the 1706 eruption, that destroyed the harbour of Garachico, caused a slight decline that contrasted with the growing splendour of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The title of City was granted in 1510 and in 1534 was converted by royal pragmatics in the Very Noble, Illustrate, Loyal and Faithful City of San Cristóbal de La Laguna. From the middle of the 16th century, the urban city area was defined and gradually established. Due to its historical and artistic value, it was declared Humanity’s Patrimony in 1999.

especially religious convents: Augustans, Dominicans, Jesuits, Blemits and feminine orders founded their convents in La Laguna.

Re p s o l C o u n t s C o s t H S B C P r o f i t s F a l l Of YPF Nationalisation O n D e b t Rev a l u a t i o n Spanish oil company Repsol has released results showing the costs of the nationalisation of its majority stake in YPF by Argentina. Including YPF, Repsol’s first quarter net profit was 792m euros ($1.026bn; £637m), up 3.5% from a year earlier. Excluding YPF, its net profit was only 643m euros, although that was up 12.4% from comparable figures last year. Rising oil prices and growth in its liquefied natural gas business boosted profits. Argentina provisionally seized Repsol’s majority stake in YPF in April, before

overwhelmingly passing legislation to do so in May. Repsol said its lawyers were studying the legality of Argentina’s 51% expropriation of YPF from the group. “Our legal council is working on a definition of

the legal path to follow and has already started some actions,” said Miguel Martínez, Repsol’s chief financial officer. The Spanish government and the European Union have also protested against the seizure.

Business Briefs

The EU is to hold an informal summit on 23rd May to discuss economic growth. It comes after the election of Hollande in France and the format will be a dinner between the 27 leaders. Hollande is looking for a reform of the fiscal pact, but Merkel has said that is ‘nonnegotiable’. Meanwhile the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, has commented, ‘The debate between austerity and growth is false’. The summit was announced by the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, who added ‘We have to increase investment’. Cataluña has demanded that Mario Rajoy give it details on the justification of the utility of public works in the region. Cataluña is angry at the plans from Madrid to bring some responsibilities back to a national level, thus taking them away from the regional governments. They insist if any Catalan responsibilities are invaded, they will take the matter to the Constitutional Court. The number of insolvencies in Spain increased by 21.5% in the first quarter of this year compared to last year. 31.3% of the companies to go to the wall are from the construction and real estate sectors. Over the quarter companies and individuals presented 2,224 applications for bankruptcy, according to the INE National Statistics Institute. Families spend an average of 29.2% of their budget in the purchase of a flat. It’s two points higher than a year ago, and when you remove the tax benefits it goes up to 36.2%. The data comes from the Bank of Spain. 76% of Spanish workers accept their work with ‘resignation’ or ‘indifference’. Nearly 60% think the boss takes out his bad humour on them, and a third of those questioned said they saw themselves on the dole sometime next year. The data comes from the first National Survey on ‘The Emotional State of Spanish Companies’ put together by the Koerentia organisation. The questions were asked between January 2010 and March 2012 to more than 3,000 workers in some 171 national companies. It shows that the greater part of the workforce no longer believes in what it is doing. The Spanish Royal Household says that it has no evidence of being the victim of extortion. It gave the statement after the alleged threats from Diego Torres to release documents which he claims implicate the King and the Infanta Cristina in the Nóos case. The Palace also said it was its intention to revise who it communicated with the press and citizens on royal activities. As the case and allegations continue against her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, the Infanta Cristina remains, with her public acts cancelled. Zamora has become the first town in Spain to charge the Church for rubbish collection. The Town Hall explained that all those who use the rubbish service must pay the charge. The Town Hall has also brought the Municipal Padrón up to date and this means that some buildings owned by the Bishopric will no longer be exempt from IBI tax. The Town Hall says the buildings generate income and are therefore not exempt from tax. Used car prices in Spain fell another 2.7% in April, taking the average price of a second hand car to 12,550 euros. A fall in sales and the economic stagnation is resulting in a downward tendency in price. The fall in Spain is slightly greater than the European average. Gas Natural Fenosa has announced profits of 407 million euros for the first quarter. The EBITDA of the energy company rose to 1.3 billion in the first quarter, up 0.3%.

HSBC has announced a fall in profits after the company revalued the amount of debt on its books. Pre-tax profit for the first three months of the year was $4.3bn (£2.7bn), down 12% on the $4.9bn the bank made a year earlier. However, revenue and underlying profits increased sharply and the bank said it had made a “good start to the year”. Last month, the bank announced it was cutting 2,200 jobs in the UK as part of its global cost-cutting plans. The move, which had been expected, is part of 30,000 job cuts the bank is making worldwide by 2013 as it looks to save $3.5bn worth of annual costs. Europe’s biggest bank said underlying profit in the first quarter increased by 25% to $6.8bn, driven by increased revenues in investment and commercial banking. Revenue at its retail banking and wealth management divisions in emerging markets also grew, it added.

However, the bank was hit by a $2.6bn revaluation of its debt. “We continued to make good progress in implementing our strategy, with 11 transactions to dispose or close businesses announced since the start of 2012, and we continued to position the business for growth with increased

revenues in Hong Kong, Latin America and the rest of Asia Pacific,” said group chief executive Stuart Gulliver. “Markets remain volatile with high levels of debt and regulatory and political uncertainty in developed economies, contrasting with the outlook in fastergrowing markets.”

easyJet Narrows Half-Year Losses

Low-cost airline easyJet has reported smaller half-year losses thanks to tighter cost controls and fewer disruptions. The company lost £112m in the six months to the end of March, compared with a loss of £153m a year earlier. Revenue grew by 16% to £1.47bn. The airline said it achieved this despite an increase in fuel costs of £87m, due to higher oil prices. Passenger numbers also grew to 25.2 million, up more than 5% on a year ago. “The economic environment remains uncertain and the aviation

industry faces headwinds such as the recent increase in air passenger duty,” said the airline’s chief executive, Carolyn McCall. “However, easyJet’s strategy of low fares and our focus on making it easy for our customers, aligned with tight cost management and strictly managed allocation of capital, ensure that easyJet is well positioned

to deliver good results for shareholders.” easyJet has been in dispute with its founder, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, over the airline’s expansions plans. Sir Stelios and his family own 38% of shares in easyJet, but last year he said he was planning to set up a new airline called Fastjet.

Portugal Scraps Four Public Holidays In Austerity Drive Portugal has taken austerity measures to a new level with the decision to scrap four of its 14 public holidays. Two religious festivals and two other public holidays will be suspended for five years from 2013. The decision over which Catholic festivals to cut was negotiated with the Vatican. Portugal has already cut public sector wages and raised taxes to reduce its budget deficit and deal with its economic crisis. The country agreed a 78bn euro bailout

deal with the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund last year and recently passed the latest review of its spending cuts. It is hoped the suspension of the public holidays will improve competitiveness and boost economic activity. The four days affected are All Saints Day on 1st November; Corpus Christi, which falls 60 days after Easter; 5t October, which commemorates the formation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910; and 1st December, which marks Portuguese independence from Spanish rule in 1640.

A five-year-old Australian girl who has already earned well over £100,000 from her paintings has been described as the “world’s youngest professional artist”. Aelita Andre has been painting since she was just two and her work has been exhibited in Australia and America. Her cheapest paintings are now selling for more than £3,000 pounds each, the money from which is being put in a trust fund. Her mother, Russian-born Nikka Kalashnikova, says she quickly realised her daughter’s technique set her apart from other playschool painters. “Her composition, her use of colour, her concentration span. Sometimes even as a little kid she was painting for about one hour, one-and-a-half hours, she would walk off, then come back again, it is just her concentration. Usually kids paint for two or three minutes and they have had enough, they run off, but not Aelita.” Walking into Aelita’s home the chaos and colour of her work hits you straight away. Almost the whole of the downstairs of the suburban Melbourne house is taken up with the little girl’s studio. Paint pots, brushes, spray cans, glitter and craft materials are everywhere.

‘World’s Youngest Artist’ Earning Thousands

Aelita’s huge canvases are covered in bright swirls and splashes of paint and often have items stuck on them - twigs, children’s toys and feathers. What little space is left is taken up with

Anger As Police Shoot Alzheimer’s Sufferer Farmer With Stun Gun

Police have shot an Alzheimer’s sufferer with a Taser during a struggle because he refused to go into care. The 59-year-old farmer was shot with the stun gun after struggling with three officers who were trying to help section him under the Mental Health Act, according to Humberside Police. He ripped the barbed darts out and had to be restrained further until more officers arrived at the scene in Epworth, North Lincolnshire. Two officers suffered minor injuries in the incident on 6th March, in which police were responding to a call for help from a doctor. The use of a Taser on someone with dementia is “very alarming” and must have been “particularly distressing”, the Alzheimer’s Society said. Sarah Moody, locality manager for the Alzheimer’s Society, said: “The Alzheimer’s Society is very alarmed at the use of a Taser gun on a vulnerable person with early onset dementia, which must have been a particularly distressing experience

for the gentleman concerned. “People with dementia can sometimes exhibit extreme agitation which can be difficult to understand and cope with for those who encounter it. This unfortunate incident illustrates a lack of understanding in society of dementia and the best way to support and help people who are affected by this devastating condition.” Chief Superintendent David Hilditch, of Humberside Police, described the incident as “very sad”. He said: “Our police officers and PCSOs have a variety of difficult situations to deal with on a day-to-day basis and are trained to tackle a variety of different situations. It’s very sad that this gentleman had to be restrained through the use of a Taser but the officers were faced with a significant level of violence. It is to their credit that they successfully restrained the 59-year-old man without injury to himself and took him to a place of safety to be treated.”

Mexico Debate Chiefs Sorry Over Skimpy Dress

Mexico’s electoral authority has apologised because of a revealing outfit worn by an assistant during a televised presidential debate. Julia Orayen was part of the production team working on the debate that was focusing on the economy and the drug-related violence ravaging the country. But it was her low-cut revealing dress that hit the headlines. At the start of Sunday night’s debate, Ms Orayen

walked in front of the camera to hand out cards to the four candidates, and created an immediate stir on social media sites. The appearance lasted only a few seconds but quickly began trending on Twitter, generating thousands of mentions. While many Mexicans

enjoyed her appearance, others condemned the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) for the incident, saying it had undermined the seriousness of the debate. The IFE later issued a statement apologising to the people of Mexico and the candidates for the “production error associated with the dress of an assistant”. Ms Orayen posed nude for the Mexican edition of Playboy in 2008, a spokesman for the magazine said.

completed works, stacked along the walls by her parents, ready to be shipped to New York for her next major exhibition in June. The website of the gallery in New York states: “These paintings are both

contemplative and powerful, providing a window into the emancipated creative subconscious mind of a child.” Critics say her parents must be influencing her art but Nikka Kalashnikova strongly denies that. “She is her own person, and if she’s was not enjoying it... have a look how much she produces. She absolutely loves it. Talk to any parents - if you are able to push your child into doing anything, well good luck.” Aelita’s father recently filmed his daughter painting a canvas from beginning to end in a bid to prove she is not influenced by any adult. Melbourne art critic Robert Nelson says the paintings have some merit and the people buying them could be collectors speculating on her future potential. “They have a value beyond aesthetic purity and it is really the project this family has set up for itself. I guess you could imagine someone wanting to be part of that, wanting to support that with money,” he said. Whether clever hype or raw talent, there is no doubting that Aelita Andre is making more money at just five years old than many professional artists do in a life time. Worth thinking about next time you see an expensive art work and say “my kid could have painted that”.

Clinton Cards On The Brink Of Administration Embattled UK retailer Clinton Cards has been forced into administration, putting thousands of jobs at risk. The company, which operates 628 Clintons and 139 Birthdays stores, requested that its shares be suspended on the London Stock Exchange after its largest supplier said it would put it into administration. The move comes after its banks - Barclays and taxpayer-backed Royal Bank of Scotland - sold the company’s £35m of loans to its biggest supplier, American Greetings. Clintons is the UK’s biggest card retailer, employing more than 8,000 staff. It is understood that administrators would continue to run the stores as normal while seeking a buyer for the business, but a large number of stores could be closed. The fall into administration would be another blow to the UK High Street after recent high-profile casualties, including video games retailer Game Group, fashion chain

Peacocks and outdoor specialist Blacks Leisure. Clintons has suffered dire trading in recent months as it comes up against stiff competition from supermarkets and online retailers such as Moonpig, which sell personalised cards. It recorded a pretax loss of £3.7m in the 26 weeks to the end of January, compared with a profit of £11.7m in the previous year, and warned that the second half of the year would be below expectations. Its shares have lost more than 80% of their value since the start of 2010. Today it revealed more poor trading for the 14

weeks since January 29, with same-store sales down 3.5%. The chain was founded in 1968 when Don Lewin opened the first store in Epping in Essex. It had 77 outlets when it floated on the stock market in 1988. The number was swelled by numerous acquisitions including Hallmark Cards and the Birthdays Group, which had 170 stores, in 2004. The latest survey from the British Retail Consortium shows the biggest fall in high street sales for more than a year last month.

Would-Be Underwear Bomber Was ‘Double Agent’

The man chosen by al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen to blow up a US-bound airliner was a double agent who infiltrated the group and volunteered to carry out the suicide attack, US and Yemeni officials say. The agent, who was apparently working with the knowledge of both Saudi intelligence and the CIA, escaped Yemen with the sophisticated bomb and delivered it to foreign intelligence authorities, according to reports. He is now said to be safe in an unidentified country where he is being debriefed. A senior US official told the New York Times that a bomb for the attack was sewn into “custom fit” underwear that would have been difficult to detect even in a careful patdown at an airport. The FBI is analysing the explosive. “Initial exploitation indicates that the device is very similar to IEDs that have been used previously by al Qaeda in the Masked gunmen on a motorbike have shot the boss of a nuclear company in the leg as he left his home in northern Italy, police have said. Roberto Adinolfi, chief executive of Ansaldo Nucleare - majority owned by Italian defence conglomerate Finmeccanica - was shot in the port city of Genoa. Two men on a black Yamaha motorbike wearing helmets fired three shots, fracturing Mr Adinolfi’s right knee. Mr Adinolfi, 59, underwent surgery and was in good condition, Italian media reported. Genoa chief prosecutor Michele Di Lecce told reporters he could not rule out that the shooting was an act of “domestic terrorism”. “But we are also considering other possibilities. No-one has claimed responsibility,” he said. The incident is reminiscent of politically-motivated violence that raged in the country in the 1970s and 1980s. Shooting people in

Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in attempted terrorist attacks, including against aircraft and for targeted assassinations,” it said in a statement. “The device never presented a threat to public safety, and the US Government is working closely with international partners to address associated concerns with the device.” Officials said it appeared to be an upgrade of the bomb that failed to detonate on board an airplane over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009; a plot which also originated in Yemen. This new bomb contained no metal and used a chemical lead azide - that was to be a detonator in the plot to attack cargo planes which nearly succeeded in 2010, officials said. The New York Times said it had been designed by “the group’s top explosives experts” to be undetectable by airport screening measures, particularly metal detectors. A Department of Homeland Security official said that

because the device was similar to the one in the failed 2009 attempt, security steps taken since “would have been able to prevent this device from bringing down an airplane”. Experts suggested airport body scanners, which use light doses of radiation to scan through a passenger’s clothes, may have been able to detect an “anomaly” such as the device, which could then be further examined in a handson, pat down search. However, the scanners have not been deployed in all airports across the US and are in very limited use elsewhere. AQAP’s master bomb-maker has previously been identified as Ibrahim Hassan al Asiri, a Saudi fugitive. “I’m convinced that Asiri is behind this. He is an evil genius when it comes to bomb-making,” House of Representatives homeland security committee chairman Peter King said on Fox News.

Gunmen Shoot Boss Of Italian Nuclear Firm

the legs was a trademark practice of the Red Brigades, a left-wing guerrilla group that carried out a campaign of murder and kidnapping aimed at destabilising Italy and known as “the years of lead”.

One investigative source told news agency Reuters that one of the first attacks by the Red Brigades in the 1970s had targeted managers of the same company. “It could turn out to be a symbolic gesture,” he said.

Weeks of Wet Weather During Britain’s Coldest May In Over 300 Years

Britain’s coldest May in more than 300 years will deliver 50mph gales, 5cm (2in) of rain and flooding. Central England temperatures so far this month average 8.6C, 1.6C below normal. The last time May was colder was in 1698, at 8.5C over the whole month. And the Met Office has warned that weeks of wet weather ahead could wash out the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations. The Environment Agency issued two flood warnings and 14 alerts, warning of high tides swamping coastlines across South Wales. Severe weather warnings have been issued in the south-west. Gales hitting 50mph will buffet vehicles, rip branches from trees and threaten property damage. Deluges are being caused by 20C

south-westerly winds colliding with nearfreezing polar air. Significant temperature differences will spark downpours across the collision zone. Met Office forecaster Dan Williams said: ‘With ground already saturated, localised flooding is possible. After a drier weekend, next week is unsettled. ‘The 22nd May to 5th June outlook, including the diamond jubilee, has no strong signal for a period of warm, dry weather. We expect sunshine and showers during this period. Even though there’s a hint of warmer, drier weather, it is just a hint – and not much better than a 50-50 chance.’ Travel association Abta has reported a rush of overseas jubilee weekend inquiries from Britons fearing another bank holiday washout.

Politicians from all sides were quick to condemn Mr Adinolfi’s shooting, some of them blaming a growing “climate of hatred” in the recession-hit country. “We hope investigators can find as quickly as possible those

responsible for an act that takes us back to a very sad chapter of Italian history,” said politician Lorenzo Cesa of the centrist UDC party. Mr Adinolfi has been CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare since 2007. Finmeccanica chief executive Giuseppe Orsi said, if terrorism was confirmed, the attack “represents a signal of alarm not to be underestimated” in terms of the difficulties brought on by the financial crisis. He also decried any attempt to use the financial crisis “for ideological ends”. Austerity measures by the government of Prime Minister Mario Monti to control Italy’s huge public debt have caused mounting resentment. Protests, however, have generally been peaceful and there have been no real signs of organised political violence. A string of suicides, notably among businessmen suffering financial problems, has underlined the human cost of the crisis.

Last Chance For Syria Peace Plan UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan has told the Security Council that his peace plan could be the “last chance to avoid civil war” in Syria. He told a closed session that the plan was “not an openended commitment” and highlighted continuing violations. The Syrian army is now using fewer heavy arms, he said, but human rights violations appear to be intensifying. His comments come after the Red Cross appealed for an extra $27m (£17m) to fund its Syria operation this year. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the only international aid agency working inside Syria, says hundreds of thousands of people remain in need of humanitarian assistance. Mr Annan told the Security Council he was particularly concerned that torture,

mass arrests and other human rights violations were “intensifying”. He also told the council that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad bore “primary responsibility” for ending the military campaign. After the briefing, he told a news conference that the ceasefire-monitoring mission was “the only remaining chance” to stabilise Syria. Some Syrians voted in parliamentary elections on last week, but opposition groups boycotted the polls. There is a profound concern that the country could otherwise descend into civil war, and the implications of that are quite frightening. We cannot allow that to happen,” he said. The peace plan brokered by Mr Annan was agreed a month ago and includes the deployment of 300 UN monitors, but it has failed to

end the violence in Syria. America’s UN envoy Susan Rice said Washington was committed to increasing the pressure on Mr Assad to step down. “So far, it’s plain that the Syria regime has not fully implemented any of the six points of JSE Kofi Annan’s plan,” she wrote on her Twitter feed. In the latest incident activists said two civilians died in Idlib province. While some parts of Syria have seen intermittent periods of calm, in many other areas there has been no let-up in the violence, the ICRC says. ICRC President Jakob Kellenberger said he had doubts as to whether Mr Annan’s ceasefire plan could succeed. “For [it to succeed], the deployment of the UN observers really [has to be] a rapid deployment. So far, very few are there,” he said.

Nama houses in 80% price drop

Houses being sold by the National Asset Management Agency with protection for buyers against a 20 per cent drop in value have already fallen by up to 80 per cent from the peak of the market. Nama launched the pilot scheme for its negativeequity protection, 10 months after the plan was first announced, for 115 houses on 12 estates in Dublin, Meath and Cork aimed at first-time buyers and homeowners. Designed to protect buyers from negative equity and to kick-start sales in a moribund market, the scheme may eventually be offered on 750 of Nama’s 10,000 completed residential properties. One property for sale under the pilot, a four-bedroom house on an estate at Killeen

Castle in Co Meath built by Dundrum shopping centre developer Joe O’Reilly, is being sold for 360,000 Euros. Four-bedroom houses on the estate were originally priced at 1.9 million Euros in 2008, a decline of 81 per cent in four years. Under the scheme, Nama will defer 20 per cent of the price of the property for five years. If the house falls further in value over that time,

Nama will bear that loss. If the price remains the same or rises, the 20 per cent will be paid to Nama by one of three banks that agreed to lend mortgages in the scheme – Bank of Ireland, AIB subsidiary EBS and Permanent TSB. “It’s a good offer for buyers who want to remove any uncertainty from their purchase about price drops,” said Nama chairman Frank Daly.

‘Jobbridge’ Extension Announced

The Government’s national internship scheme is to be expanded by 1,000 places. Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton will hold a press conference today to announce that the number of available places on jobbridge.ie will increase from 5,000 to 6,000 places. The scheme, which went live last July, has not been without controversy and there have been regular complaints of companies using the scheme for cheap temporary labour. The department has said it ironed out those problems, which were most apparent in the first few months of the scheme. Ms Burton has said eligibility for the scheme will be extended to allow applications from those who receive one parent family payments or disability allowance. “The scheme has made significant progress to date. In just 10 months since the scheme was launched 6,840 internships have started. The initial target provided for a maximum of 5,000 places at any point in time. At 4th May, 2012, 4,670 participants were on JobBridge placements and 1,876 posts were being advertised on the scheme’s website.” Martin Murphy, managing director of HP Ireland and chairman of the steering group, said that there had been strong take-up of the scheme from private sector employers with two-thirds of interns placed with private companies. One-fifth of placements are in public sector bodies with the community and voluntary sector accounting for the remaining participants.

Fr Kevin Reynolds has said he accepts Minister for Communications, Pat Rabbitte’s, decision not to seek resignations from the RTÉ board over the Prime Time Investigates programme that libelled him. Fr Reynolds, speaking from his home in Ahascragh, Co Galway, expressed agreement with the response of his solicitor, Robert Dore, to the outcome of Mr Rabbitte’s two-hour meeting with the board. Earlier, Mr Dore said he respected Mr Rabbitte’s judgment and in particular his decision not to seek changes on the board. “Pat Rabbitte is no eejit. If, in the light of reflection and the examination of the reports on the programme, he formed the view that there should be no changes, so be it.” Mr Rabbitte said after the meeting that he didn’t expect any changes on the board as a result of the controversy. No resignations had been sought or offered, he said. At the meeting, the Minister instructed RTÉ to produce a

“I have received very positive feedback on JobBridge from business people across the spectrum and the National Internship Scheme is now hardwired into the range of opportunities open to those who want to get back into the workplace,” he said. “Smaller companies of less than 50 employees have accounted for over half of all placements. JobBridge is delivering real value to all involved. For interns, it offers a real chance to equip themselves with new skills, often getting them into the workplace with the opportunity to secure long-term employment.” The age cohort which most benefited was the 20-35 group. Preliminary data has shown that some 797 interns, on the immediate completion of their internship, have gone into employment with either their host company or another company.

report within a week setting out the reforms it plans to introduce following the publication last week of a report that was heavily critical of the Mission to Prey programme broadcast last year. The broadcaster will also have to deliver quarterly progress reports on its implementation of the reforms recommended in the report commission by the Broadcasting Authority. However, speaking to journalists after the meeting, Mr Rabbitte declined to say outright whether he had full confidence in the board. Later a Government spokesman also declined

to say whether Ministers had full confidence. “The Minister has said what he’s going to say about it, and I’m not going to qualify that in any way,” he said. Mr Rabbitte moved to clarify his stance, saying he had made clear that he was satisfied that the board appreciated the gravity of the authority’s report and was determined to implement its recommendations in full in order to regain public confidence. “The board has my full support in this endeavour.” The Minister also signalled he may change the law to allow members of the public

who are unhappy about their treatment in radio and television programmes more time to complain. Under current rules, a 30-day limit applies, but Mr Rabbitte said he was concerned whether this was adequate. The chairman of the RTÉ Authority, Tom Savage, announced a further internal review by the editorial and creative output committee of decision-making processes within the organisation. Mr Savage also promised RTÉ would implement all recommendations in the Carragher report within an agreed timeline.

First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness have revealed the new legal appointee has been drafted in to improve Stormont’s sluggish legislative output.

In a joint reply the ministers confirmed: “The post of First Legislative Counsel is a key position and was advertised at the existing salary range £98,059 – £205,000. “An appointment has now been made and salary is confirmed at the minimum of the scale, that is £98,059,” the Londonderry Sentinel reported.

Farmer Fined £187,000 Belfast City Marathon 2012 O ve r D e a t h o f Wo r ke r

One of Northern Ireland’s largest pig farmers has been fined £187,000 in the region’s first successful prosecution for corporate manslaughter. Robert Wilson, 45, was working at a meal mixing plant on the farm in Co Armagh when he was killed after a metal bin fell off a forklift truck and crushed him. The bin had not been attached to the forklift properly. Belfast Recorder Judge Tom Burgess said: “Yet again the court is faced with an incident where common sense would have shown that a simple, reasonable and effective solution would have been available to prevent this tragedy.” JMW Farms Ltd owns the farm at Tynan, Co Armagh, and was fined a record £187,500 plus £13,000 costs at Belfast’s Laganside courthouse for corporate manslaughter, a gross breach of a duty of care. On November 15th 2010, father-of-two Mr Wilson was washing the inside of the

large metal bin, which was on the forks in a raised position. He was standing on another piece of equipment, a bale compactor, but when the bin was being moved away he jumped on to the side of the bin, it toppled and he fell to the ground, with the container landing on top of him. One of the directors of the firm, Mark Wright, was driving the forklift. He and his brother and fellow-director Jim Wright were close friends of the victim. The forklift, a replacement for the normal machine which was undergoing servicing, had forks which did not correspond with the position of sleeves on the 200-kilo (440lb) bin designed to prevent it from falling. The judge, sitting in Belfast Crown Court, said this had been the situation for some time. Judge Burgess said: “It was clearly foreseeable that the failure to address this hazard would lead to serious injury and indeed that the consequences could well be fatal.”

Voice Of Ireland Reject Makes Britain’s Got Talent Semi Finals

Ryan O’Shaughnessy, a former contestant on The Voice of Ireland, has made it through to the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent, after getting released from his contract in Ireland. O’Shaughnessy wowed Simon Cowell and the other talent show judges with his song No Name, a self-penned love song. The judges were blown away by the performance and he was immediately tipped to win the entire competition. However the Dublin native soon became embroiled in controversy as it was revealed he had already been a contestant on The Voice of Ireland, but was eliminated after the first week of the live shows. His dream for success on BGT was shattered on Saturday when he was told by Cowell he would not be going through to this week’s live semi-finals, as he was already contracted to Universal and the Irish show. Viewers saw Cowell telling the 19-year-old student: “You are on another show which you’re signed up to.” O’Shaughnessy explained to the BGT boss: “I wasn’t allowed to express my own music on the other show.” Now the former Voice of Ireland contestant has managed to get himself out of contractual obligations. It is has since been revealed the song that wowed the BGT judges was written about his friend Katie Lucia Keegan. Cowell reacted to his performance by saying: “Have you played her that song? So that’s the first time she’s ever gonna hear it? Wow. “Well, if that doesn’t work, nothing will. Are you sure you don’t want to give me the

For more than three decades amateur athletes have raised tens of thousands of pounds in the Belfast Marathon. This year was no exception. In driving rain, runners of all ages and backgrounds pounded the 26.2 miles to reach the finish line in the south of the city. For some runners, their reasons were too personal to recount. Ballycastle teenager, Daniel McKinley (19), was running in aid of a well-known meningitis charity — following the death of his friend Fergal McCaughan last year. He swallowed back tears to say his team hoped to raise £500. It was Anna Francis’ first marathon. The Regent House pupil will travel to Milawi in July with local charity, Urban Saints. They hope to raise enough in advance for the materials to build a new roof for Costacupoza — a 60-something grand-mother of five from Malawi who has been diagnosed as HIV positive. “I could not feel my feet at the start but it got better as the race went on,” the 17-year-old from Newtownards said. “The best thing is the atmosphere here. So many people came out to cheer us on.” Orla Devlin (22) and

Mark McDowell (21) — both medical students at Queen’s University — had already raised £1,000 for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust in Belfast, along with the charity’s other committee members. “We know a lot of people affected by leukaemia,” Orla said “It was a great day. It was good to see people out on the streets, helping us along. It was totally worth the effort.” Stewart Barbour was stooped over at the finish line as he caught his breath. The 60-year-old from Lisburn had completed the route — with a backpack strapped to his back and climbing ropes buckled around his waist — in just under five hours. His cause was not a noble

one, he admitted. “Basically I’m trying to find my lost youth. I’m running to see if I can still do it,” he said with a laugh. “I was climber all my life. I climbed over 27,000 feet on the world’s sixth highest mountain in the Himalayas. But my wife will not let me do it any more — it’s too dangerous — so I run instead. I’ll be here again next year,” he added. And countless others who pounded the streets this time around will be joined by many more this time next year as we get ready to do it all again. And while only the select few get to cross the line first for charities across the country all those who take part are the real winners.

And I love your voice.” Alesha Dixon commented: “Ryan, that was really sweet and sincere. I really enjoyed it. And I felt it. It was really lovely. Well done.” And David Walliams added his praise: “I can’t believe she won’t go out with you. That’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, sung incredibly well. That was absolutely astonishing. Well done.” However romance is not on the cards for the pair, as Keegan is believed to be seeing someone else. Keegan was aware that O’Shaughnessy had gone for an audition for the ITV talent show, however was unaware of the song he was singing, or the fact it was about her. O’Shaughnessy who also appeared in Fair City had always said he would prefer success on BGT than the Voice of Ireland: “I entered BGT last year but soon afterwards my mum entered me in The Voice. I didn’t know she was going to do it, but we thought, ‘what harm can it do’. We had no idea I’d get so far. I’ve always wanted to be on BGT so it would be a real blow if I had to leave. It’s the better stage.”

An inquest into the death of a man who fell from a hospital window in Belfast will start in October. It will take three weeks and 38 witnesses are expected to attend or make statements, a preliminary hearing in the city was told. An independent psychiatric report is being finalised after Christopher Boyle, 44, plunged from the Mater Hospital just before Christmas in 2008. He suffered severe brain and lung injuries.

Medical negligence proceedings are to be taken by his family against Belfast Health Trust, lawyer for his family Fiona Sterritt has confirmed. Statements have been sought from patients who occupied the same ward as Mr Boyle, who lived at a flat on the Cliftonville Road, Belfast. A CD from the Health and Safety Executive has been obtained. Summonses will be issued to witnesses ahead of the 9th October start date of the inquest, coroner Suzanne Anderson said.

Enda Kenny Says Fiscal Treaty Referendum “More Important Than a General Election”

Speaking at the Business for Ireland’s launch of its Yes vote campaign, Enda Kenny said there were three reasons to vote in favour of the treaty on 31st May. He said it would continue investor confidence in Ireland, would ensure access to the ESM, and would enshrine “good housekeeping” budgetary rules in legislation. Earlier, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation said borrowing costs for Ireland in the open market

would rise if the fiscal treaty was rejected. Richard Bruton said people were mistaken if they believed a No vote would mean no more austerity and a rejection would mean tougher budgets would lie ahead. He said it was vital that Ireland has access to ESM funds. Speaking in the Dáil, Mr Kenny accused Sinn Fein of leading the electorate into “the darkness of confusion” in its stance of the treaty.

He told Gerry Adams that he was the leader of the No campaign, but said he did not think his heart was in it because he saw the impact of the lack of investment in other countries. Mr Adams described the Taoiseach as the “poster boy for austerity”. He accused Mr Kenny of handing fiscal sovereignty over to “European central authority” despite having said he wanted to be the Taoiseach to retrieve sovereignty.

President Of Judiciary Accused Costa Del Sol ‘Cowboy’ Bank Robber Arrested Of Using Public Money

A member of the General Council for Judicial Power, the body which oversees the judiciary in Spain, José Manuel Gómez Benítez, has accused the President of the body, Carlos Dívar, of the misuse of public money. Dívar is also the President of the Supreme Court, and Gómez Benítez has presented a denuncia before the State Attorney General. He says that the Supreme Court President charged the costs of private trips to public money. Dívar is in the habit of taking long weekends away, many of them four days, to luxury hotels in Puerto Banús, where he patronises luxury restaurants. The denuncia itemises six trips to Marbella in 2010 and 2011. Gómez Benítez notes that Dívar has no home in Málaga province, owning a property in Madrid, and says his trips to Marbella, in club class on the AVE high speed train at public expense have nothing to do with the positions he holds. Gómez Benítez said ‘This is conduct you’d expect to see in a banana republic’. Spanish newspaper, El País, phoned Carlos Dívar to ask him about the claim, and were told ‘I have all the receipts and I can present them’. He claimed to know nothing about the denuncia, and neither had he heard

A 32 year old Italian, named only as V.S.A., has been arrested in Las Lagunas, Mijas in a joint National Police and Guardia Civil operation, accused of carrying out several bank robberies on the Costa del Sol. He always wore a cowboy hat and sunglasses and became known as the cowboy hat thief. A police statement said a search of the detained

man’s home found clothes alleged used in the robberies. He’s believed to have carried out a robbery from a savings bank in La Cala de Mijas in February 2011 where he escaped with 33,000 euros with another person. He is also thought to have robbed a bank branch in the Calahonda de Mijas urbanisation last August where once again two people entered the bank, and a third waited in

the car outside. Pistols are used to intimidate the workers in the banks, and the same day as the Calahonda robbery he assaulted a bank in the Paseo de los Tilos in Málaga City, although here the booty was just 90 euros. The arrested man will appear in the Instruction Court 3 in Fuengirola and the operation remains open as the police try to identify and locate the other members of the group.

Basque Premier Rules Out Early Elections

Basque premier Patxi López has ruled out calling early elections or asking regional lawmakers for a vote of confidence any time before the summer after the Popular Party (PP) on Monday (7th May) announced that it will pull out of their three-year governing partnership.

Spanish teachers are to hold a state strike for the first time in ten years on 22nd May. The strike has been called by the most representative unions in the sector in protest at a 25%-30% cut in the education budget. They say that ‘brutal cuts will lead

to historical damage’. The unions consider that infant education is being prejudiced in particular, along with the first cycle of ESO, Formación Profesional and the Rural Schools. They also are demanding a public university for all, and reject the announced increases in

Antonio Basagoiti, leader of the Basque PP, said that it was inevitable that the partnership would break after López had announced that he may challenge Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s budget cuts - especially in health and education - before the Constitutional Court because they could violate the regional autonomy statutes. “He is proposing things that the PP cannot accept,” Basagoiti said in a radio interview. “It is not normal [for the Basque government]to put forward initiatives that injure those who support the budget cuts, “ he added. In Catalonia, Rajoy’s plans were facing similar threats from the ruling Catalan CiU nationalist bloc. CiU members say they are prepared to appeal to the European Union to argue that the prime

The government of Artur Mas is expected to approve a set of resolutions that could also include challenges before the court. In Bilbao, López is expected to respond to Basagoiti’s announcement. But in a short statement issued on Monday the Basque Socialist government said that there are no plans to call early elections at this point. Sources add that López is prepared to launch a full attack against Rajoy’s proposed cuts. The break in the Socialist-PP pact comes before the Basque PP will hold its convention this weekend in Bilbao.

Sister María Implicated In New Stolen Baby Case

The name of sister maría gómez valbuena, so far the only person to be implicated in on-going investigations into the disappearance of children from the former santa cristina maternity clinic, has appeared in a new case of suspected baby-snatching. A judge on monday (7th) took testimony from a couple who filed a complaint with the attorney general’s office over the disappearance of their child, who was born in madrid’s la paz hospital in 1980. An initial dna test on a girl who now lives in murcia gave the couple a 99-percent chance of having found their daughter. The signature of sister maría is on the documentation for the child’s 1981 adoption, and is also to be found on several related invoices sent to the adoptive parents. The nun was called to testify last month over accusations she stole babies to sell into adoption while at santa cristina. “I haven’t seen her or spoken to her,” luis sánchez said of his possible child outside court. “We don’t

want to do so until a judge tells us she is our daughter. We don’t want to get our hopes up only for it to come to nothing.” The investigating judge in the case also took a statement from a former neighbour of the couple, who worked at la paz at the time the child went missing.

“Nobody at the hospital told us that the baby had died. It was her, our neighbour, who ran to us and told us that she had disappeared,” said sánchez. During testimony, the neighbour said she couldn’t recall telling the couple about their baby because it was a long time ago.

Spanish Royals Are Not Officially Celebrating Their Gold Wedding A statement from the Zarzuela Palace has said King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía will not be officially celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary which is on 14th May. It has surprised Spanish royal watchers that there will be no official celebration for the gold wedding as the couple held one for the silver wedding anniversary. A place spokesman was unable to say whether the couple would be holding a private celebration to mark the date. The Palace has released a CD with 25 official images of the King, Queen and Royal Family.

Bolivia May Not “Give Anything At All” To Madrid For REE Stake Bolivia may give Spain “low compensation” or “maybe nothing at all” for last week’s takeover of Red Eléctrica de España, Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera said on Monday (7th.) “All nationalisations are always accompanied by low or tiny compensation, and, of course in our case, this will happen,” García Linera said at a news conference in La Paz before meeting with REE president José Folgado. “Or perhaps the valuation will say that we don’t have to pay anything at all.” On 1st May, President Evo Morales announced that the government would expropriate the shares the Spanish utility holds in Bolivia’s local power utility Transportadora de Electricidad (TDE).

“They told us she had died and i always thought that she had died,” added sánchez, who began to suspect otherwise when he saw the media coverage of other families taking their cases to the prosecutor’s office. Some 1,500 families across spain have reported a stolen child.

Several families in madrid have claimed their newborns were stolen by sister maría during the 1980s. Sánchez’s wife, petra gallardo, believed that her daughter may still be alive, given that neither she nor her husband ever saw her body. Hospital staff told them

that it had been taken to a university to be examined, but the university in question has confirmed in writing that this never happened. Furthermore, the couple were told that they had had a boy, not a girl.Ts with the emergency services.

Military Considers Axing Navy’s Only Aircraft Carrier

The budget axe appears to be swinging high within the military. To save money, officials are studying whether to dock the navy’s only aircraft carrier, the Príncipe de Asturias, as well as two of its six F-80 frigates. Technically, these vessels will be on “restrictive standby” waiting to see whether they can be redeployed in the future, where it is possible to do so. But experts believe this is the first step toward their eventual and permanent withdrawal from service. There are three reasons why it is expected that the Príncipe de Asturias and the two frigates, if they are docked for monetary reasons now, will perhaps never be redeployed. First, a boost to the military’s budget is not expected in the short or medium term. Secondly, vessels deteriorate very rapidly if they are not used. And finally, such battleships would need a lot expensive up-keep because of their age.

The Príncipe de Asturias was put into service in 1988. In six years, it will be three decades old -- the usual maximum period for an active warship. However, military sources say the decision to retire the aircraft carrier will be made “at

the highest political level” due to the symbolic name of the vessel. The heir to the Spanish throne, Prince Felipe, is the bearer of the title Prince of Asturias. The two frigates were put in service in 1984 and 1993.

F1 - Spanish Grand Prix BBC1 - 12:10 - 3:15 pm

Jake Humphrey introduces live coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix as the 2012 Formula 1 season arrives in Europe. The days of long-haul flights, jet lag and sweltering temperatures are over (for now) as Formula 1 begins its summer tour around Europe at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. Today’s Spanish Grand Prix starts a run of eight European races (punctuated

by a trip across the Atlantic to Canada in early June) that will have a huge say in the winner of the 2012 drivers’ championship. The Circuit de Catalunya is a track with which all F1 drivers and teams are overly familiar. This season it was venue of two of the preseason test sessions and, in the days before testing bans, used to be a second-home to many of the teams as they regularly sent their drivers

and test teams to pound around the 4.655km circuit. The key to success in Barcelona is a well-balanced car that can cope with the various medium-speed corners that make up the circuit. A good qualifying result used to be considered essential, as it is traditionally not a great place for overtaking. In fact, the driver on pole has won this race for nine of the last ten seasons.

The chapter opens with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) on the cusp of her 18th birthday and blissfully

happy with her undead beau Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). But, while celebrating her birthday with Edward’s family of ‘vegetarian’ vampires, a frightening incident convinces Edward that he’s simply too dangerous to be around his sweetheart. He decides to leave the town of Forks in order to

ensure her safety - leaving her behind, angry and depressed. Bella finds some relief from her emotional numbness through recklessly riding motorbikes and succumbing to the attentions of her friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). But he is also a supernatural being, and not one with a natural affinity to vampires...

56 Up -

ITV 1 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm

56 Up, the latest instalment of ITV’s landmark documentary series returns to visit the people whose lives have been followed since they were seven and sees more of the original lineup taking part than ever before. The original 7 Up was broadcast in 1964 as a oneoff World in Action Special featuring children who were selected from different backgrounds and social spheres to talk about their

hopes and dreams for the future. As members of the generation who would be running the country by the year 2000, what did they think they would become? Inspired by World in Action founder editor Tim Hewat’s passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying: “Give me the child until he is seven and I will show you the man,” and the rigid class system of 1960s Britain, 7 Up set out to discover whether or not the children’s lives were

pre-determined by their background. The result was groundbreaking television and the follow-up films have won an array of awards. Director Michael Apted, who has since moved to Hollywood to direct films including Gorky Park, The Coal Miner’s Daughter, The World Is Not Enough, The Chronicles of Narnia and Gorillas in the Mist, has returned every seven years to chart the children’s progress through life.

regional heats for the opportunity to create a world-beating four course menu for a prestigious event at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Hosted by British Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, the glittering guest list of British sporting greats includes Roger Black, Baroness GreyThompson, Tessa Sanderson, Sharron Davies and Lee Pearson.

It’s week six and the turn of the London and South East chefs are trying to impress with their Olympic inspired menus. Graham Garrett (The West House, Kent), Marcus McGuiness (Hibiscus, London) and Phil Howard (The Square, London) are battling it out throughout the week, with Great British Menu veteran Jason Atherton returning to decide who goes through to the judges on Friday.

against the King of Hammers, there are also computer challenges, probably for the younger generation who know far more about that sort of thing than we do! For real littlies, there is a beach where they can make sand castles; Mum can keep an eye on them too, from her sun lounger and good book whilst topping up her tan. This is a good area for teenage girls as they can text and tan all at the same time!! All this as well as a huge paddling pool, to cool off in. Dads and teenage boys have also been well provided for. Live sport is shown throughout the venue on 20

Generally it is practically impossible to please every single member of your family in one go. Dad wants to watch the sport with a pint or two, the kids want to be either on the beach or running about after each other, and mum’s, well they would give their eye teeth for 5 minutes with a good book on a sun lounger. Sound familiar??? Vivo Treasure Island in Las Americas really does have it all, in one location. Based right next door to Starco, this outdoor venue caters for everyone, of all ages. Recently extensively refurbished both on the outside terraces and in the show bar restaurant plus snacks will be available all day, it

now offers everything you could need for a great family day out. Firstly, for the kids; there is a fantastic Kids Playground, your offspring can jump around to their hearts content in the trampoline enclosure, on one or two, or both of the bouncy castles, ride on the carousel or even try their hand on the Rodeo Bull. The latest acquisition to the park is, believe it or not, a Big Red London Bus, quite nice for us grownups to reminisce over too that one! Even better news is that an all-day kid’s playground pass is only 5.00 Euros. There is a amusement arcade where you can win all sorts of cuddly toys and “really useful” gadgets or test your strength

large screen T.V’s, and there are pool tables on the front terrace. The bar, always an attraction is stocked with beers and lagers from Peroni to Boddingtons, wines, Spirits – local as well as brand names – and an extremely tempting Cocktail Menu all at competitive prices. The Mini Golf courses are great for the whole family, there are two 18 hole courses, both are Pirate themed and surrounded with lush tropical landscapes and caves, the second of these courses is classed as more challenging with a few more obstacles, but possibly the slightly off peak Tiger Woods could manage to improve his swing here! There are special deals if you want to do both courses. Golf passes are 7.00 Euros for adults and 5.00 Euros for kids or you can have both courses for 12.00 Euros adults and 8.00 Euros for kids. These are open tickets so don’t have to be used on the day of purchase. Possibly most important to the teenage plus generation, Vivo has WIFI, so no need to miss out on what is happening on Facebook while they are being tortured into spending time with the family.

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 advertorial

management, says “We are all very excited about this latest project for Vivo. Although there are various venues available for special events here in Tenerife, some of them have extremely high costs involved so it limits what you can have. Here at Vivo we offer different packages, so there is always something for everyone, no matter what your budget is, and just because your budget is limited, it doesn’t mean that there is any less attention to detail.” “We have some fabulous Birthday and Wedding packages available that cover everything you could possibly need, as well as some great ideas for birthday parties and you can have your event either inside our show bar or outside on the terrace. We can offer personalised cakes, cocktails and Champagne bottles, flowers and decorations and menus and for children’s parties we can arrange for one of their favourite cartoon characters to visit your party.” “We already have a good reputation for good food and service within the show and we want to extend this to special occasions either for a private party or a corporate event”. For more information please contact Lorna Eade on 627 686 830 or email events@vivotreasureisland.com In the evenings the venue shows everything you could possibly want from T.V., from all sport, to Britain’s Got Talent or The Voice. There is also live entertainment from Marc Craig – formerly of The Wild Boyz, from 9.30pm every night, perfect backing to a cold beer or Sangria with friends or family. It is also in the evenings that another aspect of Vivo gets going. Decades Show bar and restaurant is the exclusive home of the hugely popular Bitter and Twisted Dinner Cabaret Show. On Mondays and Thursdays they play hostess to the Decades Spectacular, a 3 course dinner with drinks included, and a journey through the musical eras from the 50’s right up to the 90’s. On Saturdays and Sundays the Hollywood Show is presented, along the same lines as the Spectacular but featuring films through the ages. Both also feature the extremely talented Decades Dancers and provide a hilarious night of entertainment, again for all the family. With tickets from just 25 Euros for adults and 18.00 Euros for children including your meal and drinks it is extremely good value for money. There are also special one-off nights featuring Bitter & Twisted, next up on May 18th there will be the second of their hugely successful Titanic Experience and they have more plans in the pipeline for Specials over the coming months. And now the venue is launching an Events service, especially for the Special Occasions that you want to celebrate, be it a Birthday Party, Wedding, Vow Renewal, Anniversary or even a Baby Naming party as well as Corporate Events. Planning your special event is no easy task. But now with a great venue with either inside or outside options, your personal coordinator can blend your ideas with style and creativity to design a beautiful, memorable event that is unique to your personality and style. The new team at Vivo will go far beyond your typical event consultant when designing and coordinating your special events, attending to the particulars and events that occur during your celebration, all everyone involved will have to do is get dressed, arrive, and have a wonderful time, leaving you to just relax and enjoy the special moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. They can arrange a personalised cake, personalised bottle of champagne, decorations, flowers and even an entertainer to visit your event. Lorna Eade, who has taken on the role of event

To launch the Vivo Special Events programme they are hosting a Diamond Jubilee Street Party on Tuesday June 5th, starting at 12:00pm midday. There will be a spectacular menu available including some of your old favourites, as well as your drinks. A fabulous cake to celebrate the day has already been commissioned. Coast FM will be broadcasting live throughout the day, Bitter and Twisted, as you have never seen them before, will be there, as well as entertainment from Marc Craig and dancers from the Ritmania Academy of Dance. Tickets are 30.00 Euros including A Diamond Service Queen Size Buffet, featuring many of your favourite dishes from Blighty, a fabulous celebration cake plus drinks and of course, live coverage of the day’s events as they unfold, in London. There will also be a raffle where the two top prizes are a cruise and a diamond.

Dirty Britain ITV 1 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm “Across Britain millions of us are all making things dirty. Every journey we make, every meal we eat, everywhere we go, we leave a mess. Keeping the country clean is an epic task.” Narrator Zoe Wanamaker

In this two-part series, the dirty secrets about the way modern Brits live are revealed by the filthy work of the men and women who clean up after us. In episode one, we follow

sewer workers Mick and Shaun as they attempt to unblock the main sewer in Manchester city centre’s fast food district by hand, caused by a huge build-up of fat. Meanwhile event cleaner Marcia attempts to keep Cheltenham Racecourse spotless in the face of 30,000 visitors enjoying a day out and elsewhere armies of litter pickers try to protect our countryside. We visit the landfill sites battling to contain the

nation’s junk as every day British households throw out a gigantic 82,000 tonnes of rubbish, with the average home throwing away £400 worth of uneaten groceries each year. A team of specialist cleaners in Berkshire are faced with the mammoth task of clearing a house filled with 20 years worth of rubbish and admit it’s the worst case they have seen, as they work their way through the astonishing heaps of litter.

Lewis - Episode One: The Soul Of Genius ITV 1 - 8:00 - 10:00 pm Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox reprise their roles as Inspector Robbie Lewis and his partner DS James Hathaway investigating very modern murders amidst the exquisite architecture of the ancient University of Oxford in the sixth series of one of ITV1’s best loved dramas, Lewis.

When botanist Liv Nash (Nadine Lewington) accidentally digs up the body of recently buried English Professor, Murray Hawes, Lewis and Hathaway are set upon a seemingly impossible quest. Murray was a man possessed - fixated upon “solving” the riddle of Lewis Carroll’s “The Hunting of the Snark”. But could his obsession have

been dangerous enough to get him killed? Lewis and Hathaway discover that Murray had a longstanding rivalry with his brother, the Reverend Dr Conor Hawes (Alex Jennings) - a lecturer in Theology and Moral Philosophy - a rivalry built upon Conor’s jealousy of his brother’s genius, which has driven him to attempt to thwart Murray at every turn.

The Great Euro Crash With Robert Peston

BBC 2 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm How exactly did Europe get itself into such financial difficulty? Talking to historians, economists and politicians Robert Peston explores the history of the Euro - from Churchill’s vision of a United States of Europe to the bail-outs of Greece, Portugal and Ireland. Was it wrong to believe that 17 different cultures and economies could be competitive with each other

inside a single currency? And is the Euro to blame for the widening gap between rich and poor countries within the Eurozone? According to the former chancellor Nigel Lawson, it’s a tale of political “arrogance and irresponsibility” and we are now seeing its consequences. As governments are forced to cut public expenditure, the impact in indebted countries is particularly severe.

Speaking to European workers, the film exposes the high cost being paid as they face cuts of at least 30 percent on living standards. Peston also speaks with Benoit Coeure of the European Central Bank, who reveals how close Europe came to a complete banking meltdown in December 2011. The ECB was forced to put a trillion Euros into the banking system to keep the European economy afloat.

The Exclusives ITV 2 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm This brand news series for ITV2 sees six wannabe celebrity journalists taken from their everyday lives and put through their paces on a raft of magazines in a bid to win a job of a lifetime working on one of them. There are rows, rookie errors and rollickings as the six contestants hit the red carpets, premieres and parties in search of celebrity gossip and scoops. The first episode sees them going to head to head with seasoned paps at the BRITs after-parties, trailing the streets asking hunks to be photographed and

trying to get on with each other as they style and direct a photo-shoot. Before starting the process the six contestants are chosen after a challenging audition stage. The programme sees potential contestants step before a panel of magazine bosses to prove why they should be given a place on the show and that they each have what it takes to become a writer. As one man rhymes, another uses words written on boards and another refers to himself in the third person, the bosses narrow their choices down.

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

And so the UK mid-term elections are now over. No surprises either. Boris Johnson held on to his mayoral post in London, The Tories suffered big losses, along with the LibDems, which was only to be expected in midterm. What I find amazing is that the coalition looks like it will serve a full term. In actual fact, they now have to serve a full term if they are to stand any chance of winning

at the next general election. If their actions and ideas drag Britain out of the doldrums, they will be hailed as heroes and Labour won’t stand a chance next time. If things haven’t vastly improved in the next 18 months, they are finished, well and truly. Time will tell. I love politics, but we need a strong, honest, driving force of a leader. I don’t see this in the coalition and I certainly don’t see it in Ed Milliband.

Fill Her Up

I took friends to Puerto Santiago, near Los Gigantes, after they had been to see our show at Vivo-Decades. I was low on fuel, but there are a number of garages on the way, so there was no panic. EVERY SINGLE GARAGE was closed at 11.20pm, apart from the one at Alcalá on the other side of the road, which I was unable to turn into legally. I began to sweat as my fuel light had now been on for some time. Once I had dropped them at their hotel, I started back towards Alcalá for my fuel. By the time I got there it was closed. Just yards from an open garage, I ran out of fuel and the car spluttered to a halt.

A Peaceful And Happy World For many years women have claimed that the world would be a happier and more peaceful place if they were running it. I joke with my mother that there would just be a lot of countries ignoring each other. Recently, after seeing the antics of the crackpot woman running Argentina, I wonder just how peaceful a world it would be!

What sort of a place is this? The frustration that welled up inside me was too much to bare. How can it be that a holiday destination such as this, with thousands and thousands of rental cars on the roads at any given time isn’t properly manned when it comes to petrol supplies? Don’t get caught out like me. It won’t be happening to me again!

Police Checks Recently, it seems that everyone is complaining that the government wants our money and they have stepped up road checks in order to get more money from fines.

That’s Entertainment

It isn’t always easy for the British to find out what is going on in Tenerife. There are some superb shows and musicals that have visited the island over the years, and I have been to a number of them. This week I will be going to see “Sleeping Beauty on Ice” at the Tenerife Auditorium. Last year I saw the ice version of “Swan Lake” by the Moscow Allstars and it was a superb and uplifting performance. I can’t wait to see the latest show. The beauty of many of the things that we have seen is that language is irrelevant and the audiences have been very mixed indeed. Also, despite the current state of things, the 45 euro price tag hasn’t stopped the auditorium from having packed houses on every occasion.

But surely, if you are not speeding, carry spare light bulbs, don’t wear flip flops when driving, don’t drink and wear your seat belt etc., you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. I drive home late at night and invariably get breathalysed. The police have always been extremely friendly and polite. They are only doing a job like anyone else. If you don’t want the fine, don’t do the crime!

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 COMMUNITY MATTERS

Community matters

Written by Ken Cumming Pastor of Callao Salvaje Community Church

Mighty Men and Women of God ‘All these men of war...were of one mind to make David king.’ 1 Chronicles 12:38

David’s ‘mighty men’ established his rule in Israel. Likewise, you are called to submit to the Lordship of Christ and demonstrate to the world what it’s like to live according to the rules-and benefits-of His kingdom. Jesus would not have taught you to pray, ‘Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth...,’ if it’s a prayer God wouldn’t answer (Matthew 6:10). And He answers it through people like you. So, are you interested in becoming a mighty man or woman of God? Then let’s look at King David’s army. First: They were balanced! ‘They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left...’ (1Chronicles 12:2). When you go to extremes and get out of balance, you hurt God’s kingdom rather than help it. For example, If you’re joyful at church but cantankerous at home, you’re out of balance. If you can talk to Christians but you’ve nothing to say to non-Christians, you’re out of balance. Spiritually speaking, you’re supposed to be ambidextrous! Here’s a second quality found in David’s ‘mighty men’: They understood the situation and had wisdom to deal with it. ‘The sons of Issachar...had understanding

of the times, to know what Israel ought to do...’ You are not called to avoid the world, or denounce it, but to engage it and say, ‘Here’s God’s solution to your problem.’ Jesus promised: ‘I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict’ (Luke 21:15). When you walk with the Lord you won’t just see what’s happening around you, He will tell you what to do about it. Furthermore, when you are going the wrong way He will redirect you onto the right path... ‘They tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them’ (Acts16:7). That night God gave Paul a vision directing him to go to Macedonia and preach. God even gave Paul a warning that the ship he was on was heading into a storm that would result in great loss. Unfortunately, nobody would listen to him (Acts 27:9-11). God not only told Joseph how to prepare for seven years of recession, but how to prosper and come out of it stronger. A lot of us have discovered that if we simply follow the advice of people and don’t consult God, it can cost us dearly. Stop compartmentalising your Christianity, or confining it to Sunday mornings at church. The Bible says, ‘...The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding’ (Proverbs 2:6). Here’s another quality that set David’s ‘mighty men’ apart from others: They understood the importance of connection, unity, and strong relationships. ‘All these

men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a loyal heart, to make David king over all Israel.’ Did you know that when Roman soldiers went into battle, their shields, which protected them from chin to toe, were linked to one another forming a wall of defence? What a picture! The Bible instructs us to pray for one another, defend one another, strengthen one another, sharpen one another, bear one another’s burdens, and yes, lovingly confront one another when it’s called for. When you have a stubborn habit you can’t conquer on your own, you need someone to support you and keep you accountable. You only mature spiritually as you connect with spiritually mature people. Paul addresses those who couldn’t work with anybody and always wanted to go off and do their own thing: ‘There should be no schism in the body, but...the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually’ (1Corinthians 12:2527). Disconnected from other believers you are like a body part without the benefit of a brain, a blood supply, a source of nutrition, a system that eliminates toxins, etc. Literally, you are incapable of getting anywhere or accomplishing anything worthwhile. So the word for you today is, ‘Keep rank!’

Your Hair & Beauty Advice Column by Jade & staff at The Perfect Gift Salon

This is for all you men that don’t feel comfortable visiting a salon. It always surprises me when men tell me that it’s not manly or that they feel silly visiting a salon to get a little pampering. Why is that, guys? You need a little TLC as much as we women.

Don’t be shy Guys!

timidly asked if it would be ok to book for: an aromatherapy massage

I told him of course, but why was he a little inhibited when asking. The gentleman then told me it was because he didn’t know me and also that he wasn’t sure if the massages were only available for women! Guys, you work as hard, if not harder than most of us women; don’t be afraid to visit a salon for a massage, it will ease your built up stress (even if you think you don’t have any,) it will leave you completely relaxed for the following week, and as long as the therapist knows what they are doing, it will remove tension from your neck, shoulders and back. Men and their hair Pedicures for men Just this week I had a gentleman pop into my salon for a pedicure. His feet had suffered a lot of pressure with his work on a demolition site, and not only were they in need of tidying up; he really appreciated the foot massage that goes with it. Maybe most men who have never had a pedicure do not realize the benefits they really have. I used to treat a lot of footballers’ feet back in the U.K. and each of them would tell me that it felt like they were walking on air afterwards. A good pedicure not only leaves your feet soft and able to have out in public, but also relaxes the entire body through the pressure points that are connected to various parts, and is a great way to distress. Often men who have a good pedicure will visit regularly as they appreciate how beneficial they actually are. This brings me to the next thing. The gentleman whose feet I had worked on then

Have you ever treated yourself to a professional facial? You really don’t need to be a woman to have great skin, and honestly there’s nothing wrong with having a great complexion. Perhaps you have a mucky job; on site or working in a smoky atmosphere and your skin needs a thorough cleaning. If you feel uncomfortable about having a facial treatment in a salon, check first that you are in a private room so that no one knows what you are having done. The benefits of

Nicole Richie Announces Plans For Macy’s Collection

She loves to design clothes and accessories, and Nicole Richie has a very special collection for Macy’s set to hit stores and websites this autumn.

The capsule collection is called Nicole Richie for Impulse, and Macy’s CMO Martine Reardon told press that the potential for the lineup is impressive.

Some of you men might think it’s better to have another man cut your hair, and that you don’t want to be seen walking into a salon, but why not give one a try, you might find that you prefer the experience. Most salons are more likely to give you extra attention, spend a little more time on your hair, and ask you exactly what it is you want, and how you would normally style it. There is a huge difference in a barber and a stylist and that’s in the much larger training the stylists have gone through to be qualified in all aspects of hair types. We have many men come along with their wives or partners while they are having a haircut and 6 out of 10 times they will ask the stylist if they have time to cut their hair as well. So give a salon a try, after all our icons only ever use stylists! Fresh faces

“Nicole is pretty savvy when it comes to the fashion business and understanding consumers. She’s a real fashion influencer. She’s got a very definitive look, very free style and bohemian chic, and our collection will definitely pay homage to her style. But we are being very careful to provide what the Macy’s customer wants. She really likes clothes with versatility. She likes to dress it up and dress it down.” Nicole added, “With each collection I do, it all starts with music. Music is the driving force behind my inspiration. The Macy’s collection represents the many different layers of a modern woman. Women are wearing so many different hats these days. We are evolving. Not just working, but creating. This collection has a strong mix of masculine and feminine: printed chiffon mixed with faux leathers. I focused on the details, from the zipper pulls to the buttons.”

a deep cleansing facial is that your skin will be free of unsightly blackheads and spots, your skin will feel fresh and it helps with the aging process (after all, you guys want to stay young as well) and you will find it is a very relaxing experience. Tidy eyebrows

Do you ever look in the mirror and think, wow, my eyebrows are a mess, or worse still, do you then get a razor to them? Well you are not alone and I have quite a few men that visit my salon every 4 to 6 weeks for either plucking or threading. They are aware that the more they had shaved their brows over the years, the thicker, coarser and longer they had grown. If you are one of those men, it´s time you thought about your brows being removed correctly. An eye brow shape will tame the hairs, as each time you have them removed properly, the weaker the hair will grow and quite often the hair follicle will die; so that hairs no longer grow through. Yes it is a little uncomfortable the first few times you have a brow shape but the procedure won’t bother you after time. If we women can do it, I’m sure you can! And if you still not sure about visiting a salon, don’t worry; we won’t tell anyone, if you don’t!! For beauty and hair advice, email us at: the.perfect.gift@hotmail.com

The Gaia Apothecary Qualified Medical Herbalist by Meg Glaister Growing Your Own Herbs

If you enjoy a cup of herbal tea or make infusions for minor illnesses, there’s nothing nicer than using herbs that you have grown yourself. You know that they are organic and you receive pleasure from their aromas and pretty flowers. So this week I thought I’d give a bit of advice on growing your own. You don’t need to have a huge garden; a terrace, balcony or even a window box will do. If you’ve never grown herbs before and are a complete novice with plants, don’t be put off. Start with one or two plants to get used to then add more herbs as you become more accustomed to gardening. Rosemary is an easy plant for beginners, especially in this climate. A tea made from the leaves will help improve the memory, stimulate the liver, relieve headaches and

when applied externally it will relieve muscle and joint pain. Thyme can also be grown in pots as well as in the garden and is a very pretty plant. A tea made from thyme will ease gastrointestinal problems and is good for the common cold, bronchial ailments, laryngitis, menstrual cramps and even intestinal worms. It has antiseptic and antifungal properties and is also used to treat athlete’s foot. A strong infusion used as a hair rinse is useful against lice. Another one of my favourite herbs is lemon balm. It makes a very refreshing tea and will relieve colds, flu and fevers. Its

10 Crosby Derek Lam

What would Hanne Gaby Odiele do if she were Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone? Derek Lam envisioned his favourite model cavorting around her apartment as if it were a snow day for his latest 10 Crosby lookbook. Fittingly, the new collection is full of cosy Shetland peplum sweaters, long T-shirt dresses in an amplified buffalo plaid print, and vintage-looking fox fur pieces ideal for quickly tossing over a dress before darting out the door to catch a cab. (There’s also a faux fur patch-worked sweater that looks so authentic even pelt purists will be jazzed about it.) Lam is a smart businessman, particularly when it comes to his more reasonably priced line, and he’s paid attention to what his savvy customer is and isn’t buying. For one, she’s still crazy about silk pyjama sets, which were updated this time around in a playful yet sophisticated kittens print. He also carried over the tomcat motif to fluid palazzo pants with polka dots that turned out to be balls of yarn when viewed up close. Cute. Another recurring crowd pleaser is the tuxedo-stripe trouser with a seventies flare leg. Lam might’ve had Home Alone in mind, but his customers will want to show off these casual-cool clothes in public.

calming influence will help with nervous stomach, headaches and insomnia. It is a gentle herb that children usually also like. Externally the fresh leaf rubbed on an insect bite and wound will help to stop the stinging. Mint is a very easy plant to grow, but be careful if you plant it in your garden as it is very invasive. A refreshing cup of mint tea will reduce indigestion, stomach cramps, menstrual cramps, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and colic in children. Everyone should have an Aloe Vera plant close to the kitchen. It is excellent for burns and sunburn. Break off a piece of leaf (this doesn’t hurt or damage the

plant) and spread the gel onto the burn for immediate relief. Chamomile tea makes a calming refreshing drink and the plant is also very pretty and easy to grow. Sage is another one of my favourite plants. The bright purplish blue flowers attract lots of bees and bring a splash of colour to any garden or terrace. A tea made from the leaves will help to relieve night sweats during the menopause. It also makes a good gargle for sore throat and then swallowed at his has antiseptic properties as well. If you have any health topics you wish me to discuss on this page or would like a free 15 minute discussion to see if Herbal Medicine can help your condition please feel free to contact Meg Glaister DBTh MIRCH (The Gaia Apothecary) on 649529703 or email gaiaapothecary@hotmail.com

With Ray-Ban celebrating its 75th anniversary and the sun almost peeping its head above the clouds, isn’t it high time you invested in a new pair of sunnies? If you don’t know where to start or are unsure about a particular style then help is at hand. We’ve asked Chris Bird from Marcolin Eyewear for his advice on sunglasses to suit your face shape. It’s a balancing act You may be lusting after a pair of VB Granny Cat black or Dior Croisette2 but before parting with your hardearned cash, take a tip from Chris Bird at Marcolin Eyewear: “Generally speaking, the styles that suit the most act to balance out the natural features. So start with a shape that contrasts with your face shape - round frames for square faces, square frames for round faces and so on...” Round face Chris Bird recommends that people with a round face, like Eva Mendes, should opt for square frames. Chris recommends looking, “for something that elongates the face and slims the cheeks to sharpen the natural shape. Square and rectangular shapes are the best option and by choosing something slightly

wider than your face you’ll add definition.” Square face If you, like Paris Hilton and Agyness Deyn, have a square jawline then a pair of RayBan Clubmasters could be for you. This is because, as Bird suggests, “rounded shapes and curved lines work perfectly in softening the features.” You’re also one of the lucky ones who can pull off a pair of Aviators with ease. Chris continues: “The classic aviator is the ideal shape and the bigger the better as square faces will generally suit oversized frames.” Heart-shaped face For ladies with heart-shaped faces (wider across the forehead than the chin), such as Reese Witherspoon or Halle Berry, should look for cat-eye or butterfly shapes, advises Bird, as these will widen the face and draw attention upwards. Oval face Not only is Scarlet Johansson drop-dead gorgeous but she’s also one of the lucky ones with an oval face because when it comes to buying sunnies almost anything suits women with this face shape. Bird advises, “This face shape will suit most styles and shapes so just experiment and find something that suits your style.”

Sunglasses To Suit Your Face Shape

2012 Costume Institute Gala: A Complete Look!

Drawing one of the most impressive guest lists of any event in recent memory, the Costume Institute Gala in New York City was the place to be on Monday night (7th May). With the glitzy soiree being held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, A-List couples such as Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake mingled with the likes of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady during the course of the festivities. This year’s MET Gala saw actress Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair with fellow co-chairs including designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Meanwhile, the theme of the 2011 Costume Institute Gala was “Schiaparelli and

Prada: Impossible Conversations” - which explored “the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras.” Others partaking in the MET celebration were lovely actresses like Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristen Stewart, Scarlett Johansson and Emma Stone, along with music superstars such as Rihanna, Kanye West, Beyonce Knowlesand Lana Del Rey. Adding their beauty to the guest list, the Metropolitan Museum of Art also welcomed top models Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Candice Swanepoel, Brooklyn Decker and Kate Upton, with countless fellow esteemed attendees helping to launch the new Schiaparelli and Prada exhibit.

WILDE’S WORLD

Delving into the more quirky news stories from the week i have come across a US businessman who has legally changed his name to Tyrannosaurus Rex. Tyler Gold, 23, says he did it because the dinosaur name is “cooler” than his own name. The Nebraska businessman walked into a court room as Tyler Gold and left as Tyrannosaurus Rex. His full new legal

Schoolgirl Entrepreneur Cures Hiccups A 13-year-old US schoolgirl has set up her own company after coming up with what she claims is a cure for hiccups.

Mallory Kievman, f r o m Manchester, Connecticut, says she got the idea after trying to tame a stubborn bout of hiccups two years ago. She tried every remedy she could think of, including drinking saltwater, sipping water out of an upside-down cup, eating spoonful’s of sugar, and slurping pickle juice. Miss Kievman eventually combined her three favourite cures - lollipops, apple cider vinegar and sugar - into a single cure which she says does the trick. “I’m still tweaking the taste,” she says. “It triggers a set of nerves in your throat and mouth that are responsible for the hiccup reflex arc. It basically over-stimulates those nerves and cancels out the message to hiccup.” Miss Kievman is now the CEO and founder of her own company, Hiccupops, which is preparing to launch the lollipop commercially. She has applied for a patent and says she has already lined up financial backers and a team of business consultants. Over the past 12 months, I have had the pleasure and the privilege of working (as cabaret artist and compere) in some of the finest cabaret show bars on our little island. Not just the cleanest, but with the most courteous, professional staff and some of the finest other cabaret artists that our little island provides. But the service provided from all the aforementioned has been far from “little island”. For the next four weeks I will be attempting to fill the shoes of the Legend that is Mike Carlton at the infamous St Eugens’ and these previous two weeks I have been covering for one of the islands ‘Best Compere’ Nominees, Craig Shaw, at the Pheasant Plucker)….. My reasons for name dropping will become evident. LL of the staff at both these venues are utterly professional; always a welcoming smile, fast reliable service, and don’t even ask me how table staff remember 300 peoples ‘usual’. It is completely beyond me….. So it pains me when I see a lack of gratuity!! When I say gratuity, I don’t mean ‘10% tip please’, I don’t even mean “get yourself a drink”. I mean simple manners. The same goes for the hard working cabaret shows. Some things in life cost, other things are free! A round of applause is free, a smile is free. Not talking through an artist’s performance is free!!!! Saying thank you is free, saying please is free!!! I once witnessed a very rude man refuse to pay for his beer in a bar because he was ‘All Inclusive’….. In his hotel, but it wasn’t just his beer, lodgings and food that he clearly believed were covered,

name will now be Tyrannosaurus Rex Joseph Gold. He said that “as an entrepreneur, name recognition is important and the new name is more recognisable”. Judge Alan Gless asked Gold at the hearing whether he wanted a new name so he could hide from creditors or law enforcement. Mr Gold said no such factors affected his decision.

An Austrian motorist had to call police to report his car had been hijacked - by a goat. Gunther Hauser had been forced to brake as he drove through the countryside in Radkersburg, Austria, when he came face to face with the escaped beast on a remote road. But as Mr Hauser, 45, tried to chase the goat away it doubled back, jumped into the car and refused to budge as it began eating his seats. Finally, he trudged off to a local farm only to be chased off as a suspected burglar. When he called the police, they rounded

Silly Billy

up local farmhands to remove the ram raider and take him back to his nearby enclosure. “I had to take a picture of the goat because my insurance company would never have believed me,” he said later.

And finally

An Austrian artist has created a pedalpowered version of a Ferrari supercar. With its sleek design, blood red paintwork and bespoke features, the Fahrradi Farfall FFX looks the part. But Hannes Langeder’s creation is effectively a bicycle surrounded by a lightweight frame. Made from a combination of plastic and light-weight steel, it weighs just 100kg and is steered using pedals which control 11 different gears. Based on the Italian sports car manufacturer’s £1million track-only Ferrari FXX, it took a year to create. The vehicle’s name was inspired from the Italian for butterfly after it was described

by one expert as moving ‘silently and with the weightless elegance of a butterfly’. The eco-friendly car is currently on display at an automotive exhibition in Austria where it is considered road-safe. I want one.... for more crazy stories tune into Wilde at the weekend Saturdays 12 till 3 only on Coast FM.

Let’s Put the GREAT Back Into Gratuitous obviously, manners were extra too!!! On the whole, most people on holiday here ‘get’ the idea that in a cabaret bar, you listen to cabaret, in a non-show bar, you can talk as loud as you wish, but it really annoys me when that small percentage are not only disrespectful to the entertainers and staff providing a service, but also to the other guests that have gone specifically to a venue that suits their needs. his evening I witnessed my biggest pet hate, People standing on the street, watching a full show, drinking their bottle of water bought from a shop!!!. I totally understand that some people take longer than others before deciding whether to enter a bar and watch a show, but how incredibly rude to let the paying customers pay for their free show!!! How would they feel if a group of people assembled on their lawn to watch a football match, through there lounge window, simple because the group decided not to pay for satellite TV???? On my list of ‘other things I do’ I produce music, posters, artwork etc., someone I know,

now working in the UK, took time and effort to publicly thank me on a social network site for the work I had done for her. She didn’t need to. She didn’t have to, and yet she took the time and effort to make a point of doing so. It is this type of gratuity that doesn’t go un-noticed and is remembered. Have you ever received a ‘Thank you’ card for watering some ones plants whilst they were away? It is the type of thing I would encourage all of us to make an effort to do. As a nation, British people will already do this mandatorily in certain circumstances. We have all had a meal which we weren’t particularly enjoying in a restaurant, yet when the waiter asked, 99% of us say “lovely thank you”. Try extending the same courtesy to shop keepers, or even a wave to someone who stops there car to let you cross the road. Now I know the majority of us do these things, and because we are the majority, it is the minority that cause articles like this. It is not like I am asking, as David Cameron has this week, to withdraw aid to foreign nations. I’m just saying make peoples day a

Cyclists Get Themselves Heard Cyclists who battle to get themselves noticed on the roads can now buy a horn that is louder than Concorde.

The Hornster bicycle emits 178 decibels; a level of sound so powerful that if used in anger it could deafen any motorist who veered too close. It was developed by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) to highlight the dangers that cyclists face on city roads. The triple air horn fitted to the bicycle is an Airchime KH3A from an American locomotive, which has been adapted to run off a scuba diving cylinder. It is so powerful that at a distance of 100ft it is far louder than a standard truck horn and more than noisy enough for a cyclist to make themselves heard above the din of the urban jungle. The Hornster, on sale for £4,995, is the brainchild of Yannick Read, whose previous work includes a bicycle equipped with a flamethrower and the world’s smallest caravan. He said: “The same quietness that makes bicycles such a civilised way of getting around makes them vulnerable to inattentive motorists - the Hornster is a wake-up call for drivers who don’t pay attention to bikes.”

little brighter as you would want your own to be. We are fortunate to live on an island with few clouds; don’t make one to carry around over your head. Actively search out a little ray of sunshine; you never know where it might take you. John Sharples, a fellow columnist with the Tenerife Weekly, recent shared an album of photos from the ‘unseen’ parts of Tenerife; I would encourage him to put said photographs involved to print. It brightened my day, it was free, and was memorable enough to be mentioned here. There is more beauty on this island than some realise, be part of it. Taking all of the above into account, and by the time we go to print, I will only have two or three days left at the Pheasant Plucker, (other than my weekly Sunday show). o before handing the reins back over to Craig Shaw, I would like to publically acknowledge the help, support, guidance and general fun I have had with, and from all the staff there. Kelly, Tracey, Jodie, Ellie, The owner of The Pheasant Plucker and gentleman Tony Thomas, and his manager of the team (sorry I changed the theme of my column this week from your suggestion) Ben. Appreciation, much like general gratuity is free, so, if one of them reads this, and smiles, it was a pleasure to tell you so!! And to all people who work hard to make peoples’ holidays memorable and special, may your customers always smile, your hard working cabaret be appreciated and your sometimes thankless tasks be appreciated. If you ever feel that you are being taken for granted…. YOU ARE NOT!!

My respect and admiration! Dave Michaels

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 CALDERS CONFESSIONS

Being Left Alone

I have spent my life growing up in the same town as both my son and daughter and they’ve been a real support to me since my husband died 8 years ago. My son moved away 2 years ago and my daughter has just announced that she’s going to be moving soon too because of her husband’s job. I don’t want to stop them enjoying their lives, but I’m so worried about being left alone. What shall I do? Helen, 68

Calders Confessions Calder spent twelve years working as PA and Co-presenter with Jeremy Kyle on various radio stations and has now joined the team at Coast FM where he answers listeners´dilemmas each Sunday night on the airwaves. We are also very grateful to have him here, answering your questions and queries as part of the Tenerife Weekly team. If you have an issue you can`t overcome or just need general help and confidential advice, why not email Calder: calder@coastfmtenerife.com

You would be surprised at just how many letters I get from people in exactly the same situation Helen. The first thing that springs to mind for me is that you need to get out there and meet people rather than sitting at home on your own feeling lonely. You’re spot on in terms of letting your children live their lives but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll never hear from them again does it? Modern communications make staying in touch easier than ever and I’m sure that both your son and your daughter would be

Disabled and down

I was starved of oxygen at birth which left me unable to walk and affected my speech. My family have always tried to make sure I still lead as normal a life as possible, so I went to a school for people with special needs and last year I got a secretarial qualification. The problem is I’ve been applying for jobs for nearly a year now and I always get as far as the interview and then get knocked back. Even though I’m in a wheelchair, I still take care of my appearance, get my hair done and love wearing fashionable clothes but I feel

happy to hear from you on a regular basis. Sure, you could carry on thinking your future is going to be dark and lonely. Wouldn’t it be better though, to see this as an opportunity for you to make new friends and enjoy life for what it is? Nothings going to change unless you get out of the house and start making an effort. Take a look in your local paper or even on the internet for details of outings, coffee mornings and even holidays for single people, like yourself. Once you start filling in time in this way, you’ll wonder how you ever had enough time for your children in the first place!

like people can’t see past that. It’s really starting to get me down. Ellie

I would hope that in this age of equal opportunities that you’re not the victim of discrimination. It’s impossible for me to tell, I’m afraid. Keep a firm grip on that sense of pride you have though, because I know countless able bodied people who are seriously lacking in that department. Your local job agency may well be able to help you to find the perfect. Above all, don’t give in Ellie, the perfect job for you could be just around the corner.

sister. For the past three years my dad has been going out with an alcoholic and they’ve had a child together. Every time she drinks she causes trouble and is horrible to us all. My dad won’t get rid of her but I can’t stand to stay and watch her behaviour. How can I convince him that she’s no good for him? Grace, 18

Living with an alcoholic can be a complete nightmare and, personally, I think its quite unfair of your dad to impose this on his kids. Understandably, you’re feeling very bitter towards this woman but at the end of the day, its not your place to decide who your dad lives with. Whilst I take on board what you’ve said about the way this woman behaves, I do also detect a hint of jealousy and before you start jumping up and down, I`ll say it’s a fairly understandable emotion in this case. In order to make a difference, you have to act as a family and you all have to agree on what action to take. Right now, your dad probably thinks that a lot of this is down to you being jealous so you’ve got to, somehow, overcome that. Separate the issues in your mind and focus on the things you may be able to affect such as the alcoholism. In terms of outside help, there are plenty of organisations who can help. Take a look at www.al-anonuk.org.uk for information and practical advice on living with an alcoholic. What you need to remember is that your dad obviously loves this woman and wants to be with her. Constantly trying to split them up will only cause your relationship with your dad to deteriorate. At the end of the day, if things don’t improve, you have a choice don’t you? Either stay with your dad or look for somewhere else to live.

Finding The Right Partner

Last week I wrote about being single and the misery it holds for some people. Many people are happy being on their own, but there are many more all looking for their Soulmate or perfect partner. Someone once told me that being the kind of person you want to meet is paramount to your success in finding the right partner. This makes sense as like attracts like. Energetically we all vibrate our joy and our sorrow and everything in between. As we vibrate our feelings and moods by wavelengths and frequencies, others are able to connect with us. It’s like we are all magnets drawing to us what we are putting out there at any given moment. So if we are feeling low or victimised, we will attract to us a partner who feels the same, or someone who will victimise you. So often, we read about battered wives going from one abusive relationship to another, and it is sad, but it is held in their frequency. Until that energetic imprint is healed, and let go of, they will continue to attract abusive relationships into their lives. Similarly, if someone is feeling great, motivated and happy in their life, they will attract someone of a similar nature. So being the person you want to meet is very important. How do you start with this? Well get pen and paper out, and start writing your wish list. Write all the things you want from your partner and perfect relationship. Be honest about what you want and write it all down. Then write another list about your own attributes and see if the lists match up. If not you have some work to do on yourself. You can take this a step further, and create a vision board of your relationship. Cut out words and pictures which match what you want, and have it somewhere you can see it daily. The power of thought and the visual picture will make you act in a way that will bring the perfect partner to

you. They may be just around the corner and you may meet in the most ordinary of ways. A friend of mine, who was single and wanted to manifest her perfect relationship, created a vision board inside her wardrobe. It had pictures of loving couples on, and couples going on holiday, and words about what she wanted, and she even referred to it as her wardrobe man. Every day she saw those images and 6 months later she met him in extraordinary circumstances, and they have been together ever since.

So deciding what you want in a relationship is one of the first steps, then take a check and say to yourself, am I someone who I would like to meet? What is great about me? If you feel you have been lonely or feeling down, then work on making your life happier. Do simple things daily which make you happy and bring you joy. There are lots of things here in Tenerife to light you up, for free: beautiful scenery, stunning sunsets. A walk along the beach is enough to place me in a tranquil place of joy. Doing things which make you happy puts you on a high vibration, and then you are being a great magnet to attract someone equally happy into your life. Looking after yourself, and putting yourself first is the way forward. Doing things which please you and, some may say, that is being selfish, but if you put yourself first and honour your right to be happy, you will attract someone very special into your life.

Weekly Horoscopes

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19 You may feel more grounded and focused as Mercury moves into practical Taurus. This phase has been ongoing and very helpful for you. With your thoughts in alignment, you may find it easier to get things done. Financially, you may still be making good progress and this, too, is helping to stave off anxiety. Taurus Apr 20 - May 20 Life continues to be upbeat and positive. You love to feel you’re nurturing and building through implementing positive ideas, and this seems to be happening. Overall, it appears you’re making great progress, and that includes your love life. Your thoughts become more defined and practical once Mercury moves into your sign. Gemini May 21 - June 20 You may feel more vulnerable and perhaps less confident about your decisions and choices. This is due to having the Sun in your Twelfth House. Mercury joins it on Tuesday, which means that, overall, you’re more connected to your instincts and sixth sense. Cancer June 21 - July 22 Friends have been a source of great support, and this lucky phase continues over the coming days. Networking and connecting with new people could be the way to close a lucrative deal, especially over the weekend. Your associations with others seem to bring you fabulous good luck, so try not keep to yourself. Get out and about.

Leo July 23 - Aug 22 Mercury moves into Taurus and brings even more reasons why this could be another successful week for you. Your thinking will be reasoned and practical. You excel at taking the kinds of actions that bring fruitful results. You may need to be more careful as Mercury aspects Neptune on Thursday. Otherwise, things look pretty hot. Keep it up! Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 This is the kind of week you enjoy because it brings many opportunities to achieve results and make progress, too. There’s nothing pie in the sky about the energies you encounter. A positive focus on your Ninth House suggests you’re keen to learn new skills, perhaps a new language, or spread your net that much wider. Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 The spotlight is on personal and intimate issues. If you’ve been under stress and are suffering from tension, one of the best ways to overcome it is to have a deep tissue massage or get your partner to do this for you. Your romantic life looks pretty hot, too. There’s also a positive focus on joint financial matters. You may get good news that your partner will be earning more. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 You’re having a ball as Mercury glides into your relationship zone. Your love life rocks, and so does your social life. Everyone seems to want to have you come to get-togethers and parties. This is great for romance, business, and general fun.

Useful Numbers

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 Work, health, and lifestyle issues seem to be doing well as Jupiter brings luck and perfect timing just when you need it. If you have to make a decision about your job, a wellness matter, or a lifestyle change, you can rely on your intuition to help you out. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Love, fun, pleasure, creativity, and romance are all in the cards. You get good at telling people what you want and communicating your desires in earthy, sensuous language. The combination of energies around you this week is fortunate in more ways than one. Aquarius Jan 19 - Feb 18 Your home zone has been graced with the presence of Jupiter for some time, so there have been opportunities to expand your family, extend your property, or to set up a home business. The latter could take off in a big way if you work to get it off the ground. As Mercury moves in on Tuesday, you may want to sort out contracts for getting work done.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 You get to dazzle big time with some wonderfully warm and welcoming energies going on in your Third House of communication. As Mercury moves into this zone on Tuesday, you have extra powers at your disposal to persuade, negotiate, sell your goods and services, and generally get your message out there.

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 PETS’ PAGE

Welcome to Tenerife Weekly’s Pets’ Page

Pets’ Corner

My name is Steph and some of you may have heard me on Coast FM each Thursday when I try to find good homes for fantastic pets. Each week this page will be filled with both useful and entertaining information to keep you up to date with the world of pets here in the Canaries.

The year is heating up!

Well it looks as though the good weather is finally upon us. As we have been used to somewhat dreary climes over recent weeks this sudden increase in temperatures should not be taken lightly where our pets are concerned. It might sound obvious but they will be drinking a lot more, especially the older, livelier and those in ill health. Make sure that at all times there is a supply of clean, fresh water available – it doesn’t

Its been another very busy week at Acción Del Sol with the emphasis on there educational programme, Monday seen 80 children from Luther King school in San Miguel and Thursday and Friday a total of 180 children from Colegio Perez de Valero in Los Cristianos visited the refuge to raise awareness to the plight of abandoned dogs here in Tenerife.

Acción Del Sol firmly believes that educating children on animal welfare will improve the conditions for the animals and the minds of the children as to the way they treat there pets. Acción Del Sol is a 5 star refuge but the day to day running is definitely a full time job for the manager Marion Gonzalez who’s normal day starts at 7am with a walk around the refuge to check all is well with the dogs, followed by a daily brief with the morning staff for any extra tasks for the working day. Marion is a very hands on person who receives incoming dogs and assists the vet and staff to examine and wash the new arrivals, she also spends time socialising the dogs so they can be kept safely together in pairs or small groups without any trouble.

Again, it might seem obvious but your lunchtime perambulation may not be suitable for your four-legged friend at this time of year and an early morning and/or late afternoon or evening stroll may be better. I know that the sudden heat hit my own pets hard and one of my dogs suffered

Acción del Sol’s weekly news also takes up immense time with endless trips to the various town halls that Acción Del Sol colaborates with.

Most weeks the refuge receives large groups of children where time is spent educating the children, all of which is prepared by Marion. The list is endless as to her tasks but Marion is totally committed to her role at the refuge. Those of you that have visited the refuge will understand the huge task of running the refuge. Anybody that would like to be involved maybe dog walking or grooming the dogs please do contact the refuge on 922 778 630. If you would like more information on the German registered charity Aktiontier then please do visit there website http://www. aktiontier.org/ . This will give you an insight to the good work they do all over Europe with many different species of animals. Please call 922 778 630 for more information or if you would like to help out in anyway, towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs if you have any to spare. They would be very much appreciated by our four legged friends. The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the Parque Eolica where the windmills are and it is open to the public Monday - Friday 3-6pm.

Paws for The Little Thought: Dogs’ Home LOST

A turtle has gone missing from her roof terrace in Golf del Sur. She may have been picked up by a cat or bird of prey and then dropped somewhere. She measures around 9 inches long. Please keep an eye out for her and if you find her please email vetpetcare@ hotmail.com or call 628 859 973. She will be dehydrated as she is an aquatic turtle and will be unable to eat unless in water. She is greatly missed.

The appearance of summer brings a tougher job to the kind workers at The Little Dogs’ Home in Atogo. Now, almost at their limit, they continue to strive to change things on this island and remove strays from the street to give them a chance at a new life. All the dogs they have are small to medium in size and vary in age, although they are mostly under 4 years. If you think you can help please call 672 917 193.

grasses are slow to emerge in the spring. Don’t be alarmed and think they’ve died off during the cooler months. Many warm season ornamental grasses don’t get going until after the spring bulbs have faded. Since warm season ornamental grasses are late to emerge, they also flower later in the summer than their cool season cousins. Many will remain in bloom well into the autumn. Warm season grasses also handle heat, humidity and drought well. Many popular ornamental grasses are warm season: Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), Dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis), Fountain Grass (Pennisetum), Indian Grass (Sorghastrum nutans), Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis), Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), Switch Grass (Panicum) Growth Habits of Ornamental Grasses Some ornamental grasses will stand tall and other have a fountain effect. These qualities will play a hand in how you use them in your garden design, but the main growth habits you should be concerned with when choosing an ornamental grass are whether it is a clump former or a runner. Clump Forming Ornamental Grasses Clump forming ornamental grasses are favoured by gardeners because they are less aggressive. Clumping grasses will expand and get larger over time, but they tend to stay in a neat mound, rather than spreading throughout the garden. Although some clump formers will also self-seed, they rarely become invasive. Examples of Clump Forming Grasses: Fescue (Festuca), Miscanthus, Fountain Grass (Pennisetum), Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis), Switch Grass (Panicum)

Examples of Runners: Blue Lyme Grass (Elymus arenarius), Ribbon Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and many varieties of Calamagrostis and Carex. Ornamental grasses should be clearly labelled as to whether they are clumpers or runners and when they bloom. After that, it’s a matter of choosing an ornamental grass that’s compatible with your growing conditions and gardening style.

Cool Season Ornamental Grasses Cool season grasses start growing early in spring, usually as soon as the temperature starts to climb. Some are even evergreen and require minimal grooming and cutting back in the spring. Very often cool season grasses have their most vibrant colour while they are actively growing in the spring. Cool season grasses flower shortly after summer arrives. Once they flower, foliage growth slows down. Although they can remain attractive for the rest of the summer, the colour gradually fades. Cool season grasses are especially good for gardens with short growing season. In hot, dry conditions cool season ornamental grasses will go dormant. Cool season ornamental grasses tend to need more frequent division than warm season grasses. If left unmaintained, they will die out in the centre. Still, some of the most attractive ornamental grasses are cool season: Autumn Moor Grass (Sesleria), Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca), Blue Oat Grass (Helictotrichon sempervirens), Feather Read Grass (Calamagrostis), Tufted Hair Grass (Deschampsia cespitosa) Warm Season Ornamental Grasses Warm season ornamental

Runners Unlike the tidy growth habit of clump forming grasses, ornamental grasses that increase by rhizomes will spread, or run, throughout a garden bed and can quickly take over. Their growth habit is a lot like turf grass. While you want turf grass to spread and become a lawn, this type of growth habit is not suited to a garden border. On the other hand, ornamental grasses with a running habit can make good ground covers, if you want to fill in a large area or stabilise a slope. Grasses like Liriope, or “lilyturf” (Liriope spicata) and Mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus) are often used as ground covers. Just give them lots of room and don’t turn your back on them. Growing rhizome spreading grasses in containers is a good option if you want to include one in garden, without fear of it becoming invasive.

There are good reasons that ornamental grasses have become popular in gardens so quickly. Ornamental grasses add texture, form, motion and sound to a garden; not to mention the array of colours. They will look good all season long with minimal care. But deciding which one or two to include in your garden is a tough decision. There are so many attractive ornamental grasses to choose from. Not all ornamental grasses are hardy in every zone, so checking that a grass will grow in your area will help you narrow down the field. For example, a grass that grows perfectly well in Vilaflor may burn and wilt in Los Gigantes. Another good place to begin making your ornamental grass selection is to first decide what purpose you want it to serve. Is it going to be a specimen plant? The vast majority of ornamental grasses will make great specimen plants. The decision then comes down to what grass has the foliage or form that will complement the rest of your garden. You may want a variegated leaf or a chartreuse or blue tint. Do you live at a high altitude, and if so, is winter interest a priority? Many gardeners like to leave their grasses standing throughout the winter. Grasses with stiffer leaves, like Switch Grass and Indian Grass, last longer than grasses with softer leaves, like Miscanthus. Are you looking for height? Some ornamental grasses spill over like fountains and some, like Indian Grass, stand straight and tall. Obviously if you want an ornamental grass to give height to a garden, you are not going to select a dwarf variety or a low growing grass like Blue Fescue. Aside from personal preferences and design needs, there are 2 major features to take into consideration: cool season versus warm season and growth habit (clumping vs. running).

Add the egg yolk and sugar mixture to the saucepan and heat gently for another 5 to 8 minutes. Again, do not boil as it will turn lumpy. Pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins. Arrange the ramekins in a baking tin, and then fill the tin with cold water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Once finished baking, remove ramekins from baking tin and allow to cool to room temperature. Place cooled ramekins into the fridge and leave to chill for 3 hours or more. When ready to serve, preheat grill. Top each ramekin with caster sugar, spreading evenly over the top of each.

Tenerife Weekly - 11th May - 17th May 2012 TECHNOPHILE

A jury has ruled that Google infringed on Oracle’s copyrights in building a new version of the Java platform for its Android mobile operating system, but it was unable to reach a decision on whether this infringement was acceptable under the law. With this paradoxical partial decision, the jury has left the case very much in the air, and Google has already moved for a mistrial. On Monday (7th May), as the GoogleOracle case entered its fourth week, a jury ruled that Oracle has proven that Google infringed the overall structure, sequence, and organisation of copyrighted works of 37 APIs used by the Java platform. In building Android, Google created a new version of the Java platform known as the Dalvik virtual machine, and this mimicked the Java APIs, or application programming interfaces, which are essentially a way for a Java application to talk to the platform. But the jury was unable to reach a decision on whether Google’s Java clone constituted “fair use.” A fair use decision would let Google off the hook. After receiving the verdict, Judge William Alsup told the jury it would not have to answer the fair-use question, and Google immediately asked that the judge declare a mistrial, arguing that precedent says you can’t decide on infringement without deciding on fair use. “We appreciate the jury’s efforts, and know that fair use and infringement are two sides of the same coin,” reads a canned statement from Google. “The

core issue is whether the APIs here are copyrightable, and that’s for the court to decide. We expect to prevail on this issue and Oracle’s other claims.” But in its statement to the press, Oracle treated the decision like a victory. “Oracle, the nine million Java developers, and the entire Java community thank the jury for their verdict in this phase of the case,” the statement read. “The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that Google knew it needed a license and that its unauthorised fork of Java in Android shattered Java’s central write once run anywhere principle.

Alternative Uses For Your Old iPad

And with Apple dropping the price of their second iPad and the online marketplaces overflowing with people trying to get rid of their iPad 1/2, you might not always get the price you had in mind. So before you sell your old iPad online; consider this list of alternative ways to use your old gadget. 1. Kitchen iPad One of the many places where you’ll find an iPad is in the kitchen. It might be because it’s one of those places where a television might be out of reach and a laptop could just get in the way of things. But we all like to listen to music, watch

the news or following recipes while we’re in the kitchen. An embedded, dedicated iPad somewhere in the kitchen could be a great solution for that. One Alan Daly mounted his iPad in a kitchen cabinet as shown in the picture. If cutting up your kitchen cabinet is a step too far there is always the option of using cookbook stands to hold your iPad in the kitchen. 2. Car iPad Another great way to give your old iPad a new life is by mounting it in your car. We’ve covered car gadgets before, but with an iPad embedded in your car you can have all your satnav and media needs in one device. And with Apple’s HDMI accessory you could even switch the view to screens in the headrests. Just like with the kitchen cabinet, if you’d rather stay away

GlideTV Navigator HTPC Remote Control

Like the Boxee Box remote control showed us, a remote for a media centre (or HTPC) only needs a few basic buttons. Unfortunately the Boxee remote is not sold separately but the GlideTV Navigator might be a good alternative. It’s a small remote control that fits in your hand, connects

compatibility to run across all computing platforms.” The jury also said that Google infringed a particular part of Oracle’s Java code: the “rangeCheck” method in the files “TimSort.java” and “ComparableTimSort. Java.” But it decided that Google did not infringe on Oracle’s Java documentation, two other portions of Oracle’s code (the source code in seven “Impl.java” files and the one “ACL” file), or the Englishlanguage comments in a third portion of code (“CodeSourceTest.java” and “CollectionCertStoreParameters Test. java”). Oracle sued Google in August of 2010 after purchasing Java maker Sun

through a wireless USB dongle and lets you control all the basic functions of a media centre. GlideTV themselves call it a ‘couch mouse’ and that could actually be a pretty accurate description. It has a track pad in the middle and some (media centre oriented) buttons around it. Prices are around $149 (129 Euros)

Microsystems, claiming that Google infringed on its Java-related patents and copyrights in building Android. Oracle accused Google of infringing maliciously and without regard for Sun’s licensing agreements and the intellectual property that Oracle now owns. The case has been closely watched because of Oracle’s claim that Google violated copyright on 37 of its application’s programming interfaces. APIs define standard ways for two pieces of software to talk to each other, and open-source developers generally consider it fair game to write programs that can connect via other people’s APIs. Linux, for example, contains code written to the POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) APIs. Because Android has been a runaway hit for Google, the case could send waves through the tech world. Google allows anyone to download and work with Android’s code for free, and it’s been used in everything from smartphones to microwaves to cars. At this point, it’s not possible to know how hardware makers and coders will be affected by the verdict until damages are assessed. Before the jury reached its verdict, Alsup noted: “That’s a problem I haven’t had in past cases.” Right now, Oracle is seeking roughly $1.1 billion, but may argue for licensing rights as well. The Android operating system is most widely known for its use on mobile devices. Amazon’s Kindle Fire, Samsung’s Galaxy and HTC’s Flyer use Android, among many others, to power their tablets.

from saws and glue there are many iPad car docks available for very reasonable prices. 3. Home automation remote Even though this application requires a bit more investment, the iPad can be a great starting point for some automation around your home. There are apps available to control your media, heating and lights - all from your iPad. And with dozens of (affordable) iPad frames, mounting the control on your wall gives you a very luxurious touchscreen to turn your living room in ‘relax mode’ with the appropriate lighting, heating and music with just one tap. 4. Cutting board If all else fails, and you find yourself in need of the most extravagant and ridiculous alternative use for your old iPad, this cutting board solution will surely catch some attention when you’re cooking for friends!

3mm Thin HDTV With 1,000,000:1 Contrast A contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 is pretty extreme. But that’s not the only amazing thing about the Sony OLED television. It’s only 3 mm thin. Sony uses a brand new technology it developed called Organic LED. The technology was presented back in January but will hit retail this December in Japan. According to Engadet it has something to do with competition between Sony and Samsung because Samsung publicly doubted if Sony would be able to produce the new technology before the end of the

year. Sony starts selling an 11 inch model but we should expect to see this technology more often in the future.

MOTORING

Vauxhall Ampera Car of the Year 2012 - Electric driving without compromise Looking for a stylish way to save on fuel and cut emissions while still enjoying performance driving? The new Vauxhall Ampera brings clean, eco-motoring to the road. Free of the usual restrictions of batteries, it offers lively electric performance and a range of up to 360 miles. Why not join us in an electrifying future? Redefining electric drive The heart of the Vauxhall Ampera is its E-REV propulsion system – the world’s first plug-in, electrically driven, extended-range system in a production vehicle – which gives the new car up to 360 miles of range.

Money towards an Ampera The UK Government is offering motorists up to £5,000 off the price of qualifying ultra-low emissions vehicles – including the Ampera. Now it’s even easier to start cutting costs and fuel consumption. Precise and powerful Of course, the Ampera also delivers premium class road-holding and handling. And if you’re worried about keeping up with the traffic, don’t: with 150PS and 370 Nm of torque, the Ampera accelerates from 0-60 mph in under nine seconds. Everyday usability You can use your Vauxhall Ampera exactly

as you do your current car. It’s easy to charge, seats up to four and has plenty of luggage space. You can also pre-heat or cool it while charging, ready for when you set off. The Vauxhall Ampera was conceived, designed and developed with practicality in mind. So to drive an Ampera, you don’t have to change your driving habits, needs or preferences. Change your car, not your life The Vauxhall Ampera has five doors, seats four in comfort, has plenty of useful luggage space, and – thanks to its on-board generator – will never leave you stranded. It’s a change for the better. Charge and go The Ampera comes with everything you need for charging at home, at the office or out and about. The state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery

can be recharged from a 240 V / 10A power supply in about six hours. The portable charge cord pack is equipped with LED indicators that illuminate green or flashing red to identify the charge cord status. Just plug the standard charging cord and vehicle plug into any standard wall socket and store it in the boot when you’re done. Forget range anxiety With the Vauxhall Ampera you can go 25 to 50 miles on battery power alone. When the battery’s energy runs out, a petrolfuelled 1.4 ECOTEC engine-generator with 86PS extends that range by a further 310 miles on a full tank of fuel by sustaining battery capacity for the vehicle’s electric drive system until you can plug in and recharged the car, or refuel it. This distinguishes the Ampera from electric-only vehicles which can’t be operated when recharging is not immediately available – such as during a power interruption or on a long-distance trip. Climate comfort right from the start You can switch on the electronic climate control (ECC) system remotely to heat or cool the car while it’s connected to the mains, or to turn on the heated seats. The remote control key has an extended range so you can start preheating the cabin from your breakfast table, if the car’s not parked too far away. One pedal driving While driving the Vauxhall Ampera with the shifter in L position, lifting the foot off the accelerator automatically activates generator braking. In situations such as downhill or city driving, the stopping power is efficient enough to provide all the braking power you need. At the same time the recaptured energy charges the battery. So it’s a win/win situation for both comfort and efficiency.

Excellent & Easy Garden Storage Bench – Part 1

When I sat down to design this bench, I forced myself to make it as simple as I possibly could while keeping it attractive and comfortable. It had to have an angled back, because I hate straight-backed discomfort. It had to have a little shelf on the back, because I need a place to put my beer. The builtin ice bucket for white wine, on the other hand, was deemed superfluous. This is an extremely easy woodworking project. There are no joints. The whole thing is held together with decking screws. It is unsophisticated, plain, and quick to build. It’s easier than an Ikea wardrobe - a child can build this thing. Yet, behold the charm! If this garden bench was a woman, she would be a farmer’s daughter named Daisy. Her proportions are attractive, her seat is deep, and the angle of her back is ease incarnate. I’ve built a 120-cm wide two-seater bench and a 149-cm wide three-seater. Measurements for both are included. Step 1: Gather Your Hardware

Tools Circular saw Wood blade for circular saw (doesn’t have to be too fine, but it’s ok if it is) Hand saw for wood Drill (I use two drills! One for drilling holes and one for turning screws) 4 mm drill bit Philips screwdriver Ruler Pencil Paint brushes Hardware 5.5 cm x 5 mm deck screws 4 cm x 4 mm screws (for the seat) 3 hinges Wood

The thickness of the wood and the width of the slats were dictated to me by the wood I could get easily at my local ferretería (hardware store.) If you feel a bit mathy,

you should be able to take a look at the plan and figure out how to alter the recipe to use wood that is easy to get where you are. I used the simplest cheap pine. The length of the two-seater bench has a lot to do with the size of my garden. You could easily make this a bit longer or shorter. The three-seater length was chosen because it was what I could get safely out of a 3-meter-long board and the wood I used happens to come in threemeter long sizes. I had all the cuts done for me at the hardware store, except the diagonal cut of the back legs. I’ve listed the wood like so <quantity: Length x Width x Height>. All measures are in centimetres. The depth of the finished bench is 65 centimetres total. For the two-seater bench Cut from smooth wood 5: 120x10x1.8 (seat back + front and back slats) 4: 60x10x1.8 (side slats) 5: 120x14x1.8 (seat back shelf + front and back slats + seat) 2: 60x14x1.8 (side slats) 2: 120x17x1.8 (seat and seat back) 1: 108.4x20x1.8 (back seat hinge board) Cut from cheaper, rougher wood 2: 42x5.8x5.8 (front legs) 2: 90x20x4 (back legs--these need a diagonal cut, explained later) 2: 20x4.8x2.4 (inside support) 1: 116.4x5.x5.6 (inside support) 3: 34x4.8x2.4 (seat cleats) For the three-seater bench Cut from smooth wood 5: 149x10x1.8 (seat back + front and back slats) 4: 60x10x1.8 (side slats) 5: 149x14x1.8 (seat back shelf + front and back slats + seat) 2: 60x14x1.8 (side slats) 2: 149x17x1.8 (seat and seat back) 1: 136.4x20x1.8 (back seat hinge board) Cut from cheaper, rougher wood 2: 42x5.8x5.8 (front legs) 2: 90x20x4 (back legs--these need a diagonal cut, explained later) 2: 20x4.8x2.4 (inside support) 1: 145x5.6x5.6 (inside support) 5: 34x4.8x2.4 (seat cleats) Finishing This is up to you. It has to stand up to the weather, but you know what you like. I used a grey two-in-one primer + varnish. Step 2: Cut The Angle In The Back Legs

All of the cuts are perfectly straightforward except for the diagonal of the back legs.

1. Lay the leg down so the 20-cm wide side is parallel to the ground. 2. Measure 42 cm up from the base of the leg. 3. Measure 12 cm from the opposite edge of the leg across the top edge. Make a mark. 4. Using a ruler, draw a line from the top mark to the mark at 42 cm from the leg base. 5. Measure 42 cm from the base on the other side edge, draw a line across. You won’t use this line for the cut, but you need it later. 6. Using the circular saw, cut along the diagonal line. Do that twice. Step 3: Put The Sides Together and mark The Slat Placements First, you are going to mark the placement of the slats with a pencil. That way, your bench will not look like it was slapped together by a monkey. Be sure that when you mark the back legs, you lay them down so that the two straight back edges are facing each other.

Take one of the front legs. Measure from the top down on each edge 14 cm, 2cm, 10 cm. 2cm, 10cm. Draw lines across. Use these marks to transfer the measurements to the other legs. Draw lines across all. On the back

legs, the measurements are done from the 42-cm-high line, but if you are transferring the measurement from the front leg, you should line up the bottoms. Step 4: Put The Sides Together: Mark The Screw Placements Look at each side slat and pick the prettiest side to keep facing out. You will mark the screw placements on that side. You might think that I am acting a little OCD with all this measuring, but your bench will be a lot hotter if your screws are all placed regularly. If you think that this is a waste of time, you can skip the marking and go straight to the drilling. See if I care.

I do the marking with a template. Grab a cereal box out of your recycling bin and take a piece with a proper right angle on it. I’ll show a picture of the template, but here are written instructions, too.

On the top edge, write “top” on the front side and “bottom” on the other side. On the left edge, write “side” on both sides. With the front side facing you, measure three centimetres from the left edge and draw a line parallel to the left edge. Measure three centimetres from the top edge and draw a line parallel to the top edge. Where those two lines intersect, poke out a hole with some pointy scissors or whatever sharp object is handy. Write the number “10” next to that hole on the front and on the back of the cardboard. Now measure 4.5 cm from the top edge and draw a line parallel to the top edge. Where that line intersects with the vertical line, punch another hole. Write the number “14” next to that hole on the front and on the back of the cardboard. Now you can just line the top and side edge up in the corners of each board and make a dot with your pencil where your screws will go. The “10” hole is to be used for the 10cm wide slats. The “14” hole is for the 14-cm wide slats. You turn the paper upside down to mark the opposite side. Now you have 6 slats and 4 legs all ready to go. The front slats have a slightly different screw placement.

Join me next week for the second part of our project.

Goal Spree Fires CD Tenerife into the Promotion Play Offs

The confidence is back, the goals are flowing, and CD Tenerife are in the Segunda B promotion play offs. A second straight 3-0 win, this time at Marino Luanco in Asturias on Sunday means that Tenerife can slug it out with qualifiers from the other three groups for a return to the second tier of Spanish football. Receiving February’s chunk of their outstanding wages put a spring in the players’ boots and 22 minutes into the game Aridane capped his recent improved form with a well directed header from Chechu’s teasing cross right wing cross. The lead was deserved, Tenerife had created several clear chances after a two-fisted save by Sergio Aragoneses

cleared a second minute corner. Kike should have tested the home keeper with a harder shot just before the break, and luck, plus Sergios angle narrowing, prevented Jony leveling just before the whistle; as his shot shaved the post. Mid-table Marino had nothing to play for; Jony was their only real threat, he headed over at the start of the second half. Then Tenerife tightened their grip with Chechu outwitting two defenders before stroking the ball through to Perona, he coolly scored and celebrated with his usual handstand. Zazo was making the most of his return to the CDT midfield and cursed the home keeper for denying him a goal. The ball broke to the

The Wild Bull Coast FM darts League brought a surge of great responses from across the south Tenerife bars yet again on Sunday.

Mclaren Will Run New Nose in Spain Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed that McLaren are likely to run a higher nose on the MP4-27 at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. McLaren and Marussia were the only two teams to opt for a slopped nose on their 2012 designs, with the rest of the grid adopting a ‘boxer’s-nose’ design to keep the front end high. However, during the final few hours of last week’s Mugello test, Oliver Turvey took to the track with a newly-designed front wing on the McLaren, which featured a far higher tip. Speaking on Wednesday (9th May), Whitmarsh confirmed during a Vodafone phone-in session that the team were likely to use the new design at the Circuit de Catalunya this weekend. “There’s a reasonable chance we will see it,” Whitmarsh said. “We got a lot of feedback from Mugello, so we have the data to set it up and can find the performance on track.

other end, but Sergio was alert as ever with a one handed low save. Twenty minutes left and time to finish Marino off. Perona picked up the ball, pulled the defense wide and struck the ball past the struggling goalie to notch his 16th goal of the season. Aridane nearly matched him with a second strike, but the keeper clung on gratefully. It’s party time this Sunday in Santa Cruz at 5 pm as the regular season ends. Visitors, Alcalá, are trying to stave off relegation and CD Tenerife want to cement their second position for a favorable place in Monday’s play off draw. Expect a 10,000 plus crowd.

Classically of course you are looking for lower drag and higher down force, but be aware that nowadays incremental improvements are generally modest. “ “In the case of the nose and front wing the attachment pylons are quite different and there are other subtle differences. You are managing the airflow that is enjoyed by the rest of the car. Nowadays, in quite a critical part of the car you are looking to find very small improvements. There are a lot of restrictions around the back end of the car, so you generate more improvement by managing the flow that arrives there than by developing the rear itself.”

Alison Williamson was selected for her sixth Olympic Games as Team GB’s archery team was unveiled at Lord’s. Williamson narrowly missed out on an automatic spot at the final selection shoot at Lilleshall in April but has been handed the final discretionary place, with Alan Wills earning the discretionary spot in the men’s team. “I’m so thrilled and proud to have made it to my sixth Olympics,” said Alison. Williamson’s selection, confirmed by head coach Lloyd Brown and performance director Sara Symington, makes her only the third Briton after fencer Bill Hoskyns and javelin thrower Tessa Sanderson to win a place at six Olympic Games.

Thanks for your great hospitality and lovely food.

The host nation will have the maximum of three archers in both the men’s and women’s competitions and compete in both team events. Amy Oliver, making her Olympic debut, and Naomi Folkard, appearing at the Games for a third time, join 40-year-old Williamson in the women’s team after taking the top two places in the selection process.

See you soon. Ruth Beesnees has the final say this week, as we are half way through the season now. A big thank you to Raf and the committee and Coast FM, and to all the teams we have played, it’s great fun.

THE SPORTS SCENE WITH PETER QUILTY

SPONSORED BY THE BUZZIN OF CALLAO SALVAJE FOR ALL THE BEST IN SPORT Hi Everyone. After a cracking weekend of football it looks like it’s going to go right down to the wire, but I don’t think QPR will give up without a fight. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes Queens Park Rangers can help his side win the Premier League title, despite Manchester City holding the advantage with one game remaining. efending champions United beat Swansea 2-0 on Sunday to move level on points with Roberto Mancini’s side, which had earlier beaten Newcastle by the same scoreline. City now face Mark Hughes’ QPR on the final day of the season and, if they can match or better United’s result against Sunderland, they will win the English title for the first time in 44 years. QPR are fighting relegation and need a point to be certain of retaining their Premier League status. Djibril Cisse stepped off the bench to earn Queens Park Rangers a crucial victory against Stoke in their battle to stay in the Barclays Premier League. This was one of my predications as Sparky´s men need to stay in top flight football. And when you think that four weeks ago Ferguson’s side were eight points clear of Mancini’s team. It would be a bit of a disaster to lose it on goal difference when Utd had their chances on Sunday. Elsewhere in the Premiership, Aston Villa earned the point they needed to all-but ensure Barclays Premier League football for next season as they held Spurs at Villa Park. I put Spurs to win this one. West Bromwich Albion hit back with two goals in the closing stages to leave Bolton Wanderers in real trouble at the foot of the table. After Bolton had gone 2 up I thought my predication was right, but not to be. Fulham ended their home campaign with a typically assured performance as they saw off the challenge of Sunderland at Craven Cottage. I got this one right. I put Everton starting line after someone put them in the to win this, but already relegated Wolves bin. So you might say lucky for them. That ended their home campaign with a hard- means Mr Q wins this week. fought point in the sunshine at Molineux.

attackers tried to pressurise the match officials into awarding a goal. Assistant referee Andy Garratt was correct to stand firm in the face of disrespectful pressure, mainly from Luis Suarez. However, the accuracy of the decision is no longer the issue; the loss of trust in the officials is. There have been too many high profile goal line errors this season. The result is a lack of trust in the ability of human arbiters to judge them accurately. Goal line technology cannot now be introduced quickly enough for all involved — “it’s a question of credibility not accuracy,” Carroll said. “I thought it was over the line and it hit the other side of the bar,” Cech said. “If the ball was behind the line I couldn’t have kept it out. I’m 100 per cent sure it was not in.” The law says - a goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar. After talking to some die hard West Ham supporters on Saturday after their win over Cardiff as I write this column (Monday) have it all to do today. Jack Collison’s brace at the Cardiff City Stadium seems to have put the Hammers in control of the play-off tie. Did you know that this fixture is a repeat of the opening day of the season, when Kenny Miller scored the only goal in injury time for Cardiff and West Ham´s manager Sam Allardyce has experience of losing in a similar scenario before? His Blackpool team won 2-0 at Bradford in their Division Three (now League One) play-off away leg in 199596, but lost the home tie 3-0. The Hammers, who missed out on automatic promotion on the final day of the regular season are now looking for an immediate return to the Premier League, they have won their last three, and are unbeaten in seven (W5, D2). Their home form has proved their undoing this season, being held to eight draws in the 23 games.

But they ended the regulation season at Upton Park with one draw and two wins; scoring 11 goals in the process. This is only West Ham’s third crack at the play-offs, and the first time in which they have a lead going into the second leg of the semi-final. The club finishing immediately outside the top two has been the most successful in the play-offs in the last 20 years; gaining promotion seven times: the most recent being Swansea, last season. The Bluebirds, who finished the regular season three places and 11 points below West Ham, suffered their first defeat in 11 games with Thursday’s first leg reverse. Manager Malky Mackay, who was promoted to the Premier League as a player through this route with Watford in 2006, dreams of guiding Cardiff back to the top-flight for the first time in 50 years. Cardiff have had nine successive seasons of second level league football. o, just before I have to send this off to the Editor at 6pm on Monday, West Ham are beating Cardiff 2 nil at half time and Ronnie the Rocket O´Sulivan is looking good for the Snookers World Championship Final going into the break 15frames to 10 against Ali Carter and has said that he would like to retire from Snooker. The rampant Rocket admits he is considering retirement having lost his appetite for the game which tempts and torments the sport’s most gifted star. O’Sullivan said: “I could live without snooker. There’s a lot of pressure in being a sportsman. I’ve weighed up my options and the pros and cons and now would be as good a time as any to call it a day. I don’t want to be here in 10 years time deluding myself. I’d still like to be involved in snooker somehow, but maybe this will be my last time here. I’m lucky to be in the final and I’ve had a great career. I’d love to go out on a high.” And a nice bank balance to Ronnie. Till next time, have a great read.
