The former Emmerdale actress, 29, sported the pink and white halter neck costume during a dip in the sea, while on a recent trip to Tenerife. The Waterloo Road star looked stunning as she splashed around playfully in the surf. But she didn’t seem so tickled pink when she first entered the water and realised how cold it was! It wasn’t just the ex-Emmerdale

star’s colourful swimwear that drew admiring glances as she enjoyed a sunshine break with pals. Her gorgeous figure also showed why Roxy, 29, was voted the world’s 41st most beautiful woman by readers of The Sun.

Spain’s Jobless Level Falls For Second Month

The number of people looking for work in Spain fell for the second month in a row in May to 4.71 million. The Labour Ministry said the number of people filing for unemployment benefits fell by 30,113 or 0.63%, compared with the previous month. In March, the number of jobseekers hit a record high of 4.75 million. The unemployment rate in Spain is the highest in the Eurozone at 24.3%, according

to European Union figures released last week. On an annual basis, the number of people looking for work in May rose by 524,463, or 12.5%. “We find ourselves in a second phase of recession, which, even if it is not as brutal and deep as the first, has had a negative impact on employment,” said Engracia Hidalgo, the Spanish junior labour minister. The Spanish government is implementing a number of labour market reforms to try

to reduce unemployment, including cutting back on severance pay and restricting inflation-linked salary increases. These have proved very unpopular with unions and workers. However, it has been forced to approve billions of euros of spending cuts and tax increases in an effort to reduce its debt levels, which have a negative impact on employment within the economy.

PP To Embrace Socialists’ Rehabilitation Plan

The Partido Popular (PP) government seems set to embrace the ETA convict rehabilitation plan initiated by the previous Socialist administration, despite its heavy criticism of the scheme while in opposition. The Interior Ministry has stressed things will be “different” from now on, although it remains unclear what those differences are. For instance, the PP will keep organising meetings between survivors of ETA attacks and the terrorists jailed for them. These face-to-face meetings were started by the Socialists, and criticised by several victims’ associations. Sources at the Interior Ministry claimed that from now on victims would play a bigger role in these voluntary meetings, which would no longer be organised by the Basque regional government, but by the ministry. “It will be our program, but similar to the previous one,” said a ministry source. The biggest victims’ association criticised the

Association Told To Return Grant For Unfinished Exhumations

Mariano Rajoy is demanding a historical memory association give back a 58,200-euro subsidy awarded to it by the previous Socialist administration for not having completed the exhumation for which the money was requested within the planned timeframe. The government is also asking for the return of 4,000 euros in outstanding interest payments. The association of relatives of prisoners who died in Valdenoceda, a small town of 61 inhabitants in Burgos province, managed to recover the remains of 112 of 156 inmates left to die of cold and hunger in a local jail by the Franco regime between 1938 and 1943. The remaining 39 bodies were unable to be recovered in time because they lay beneath some cemetery niches constructed later on and the association had to convince the owners of the niches, family by family, to allow them to move the tombs. The prisoners had originally been buried outside the cemetery, but their graves ended up below the new niches when the graveyard was enlarged. “We asked the Prime Minister’s

Borrowing Costs Edge Up There was strong demand for Spanish bonds at an auction on Thursday (7th), which was seen as a key test of the country’s ability to raise funds, but it had to pay a higher interest rate. The rate on the 10-year bonds was 6.044%, up from the 5.743% paid when bonds were last sold in April. Spain sold 2.1bn euros ($2.6bn; £1.7bn) in medium and long-term bonds. It comes as European authorities are said to be working on a way to help Spain’s troubled banking sector. UK Chancellor George Osborne said: “I know they are working very hard on an imminent solution. I am optimistic that people are working hard on a solution, and a solution, I think, is coming,” he said. orrowing costs had not been as high as feared, due to these efforts in Brussels to try to find a way to help Spain, analysts suggested. Spain remains the focus of international concerns. In another development, the head of China’s sovereign wealth fund, which invests China’s huge reserves around the world, said it was scaling back European investments due to the risk of a Eurozone break-up. Amid the rumours and speculation, the key question persists: How is the Spanish government going to raise the money to bail out Spain’s troubled savings banks? The news from this latest Spanish government debt auction is both good and bad. Good because demand was high; evidence that the Spanish treasury can raise money on the markets if it needs to. But bad because the borrowing rates went up since the last auction and sit at levels which many financial experts believe are not sustainable in the longer term. But 2bn euros is a fraction of the amount reportedly needed by the Spanish Government to deal with the debt held by Spanish banks. A conservative estimate for that figure would be 40bn euros. But some think it could be much higher and that’s why many believe some form of international assistance is needed to shore-up Spain’s banks. In the Spanish bond auction, there was demand for 3.3 times as many 10-year bonds as were available on Thursday. The Treasury sold 638m euros of 2-year bonds at a yield of 4.335% and 825m euros of four-year bonds at 5.353%, in addition to the 611m euros of benchmark 10year bonds. The yield on Spanish 10-year bonds from previous auctions, known as the secondary market, fell below 6.1%

B ministry’s announcement of two new faceto-face meetings in June, following 11 others that have taken place since May 2011. Ángeles Pedraza, president of the Terrorism Victims’ Association, expressed disappointment at finding out about it in the media. “The minister personally told us a few weeks ago that we would be informed about measures of this type, yet once more, we found out in the press.”

Office for an extension but it said no because the deadline to ask for one had also passed,” explained José María González, president of the association and a grandson of one of the exhumed prisoners. “Now we only lack the consent of one family.” The government’s demand for the money will come at

González’s personal expense. “I have asked for 200 euros from each of the 20 families to whom we have already handed over the identified remains, but to stop the interest from accumulating, I will have to put in money from my own pocket. And for me that is an economic disaster. We cannot avoid the feeling of defeat, of feeling that the exhumation of the 39 who remain down there is never going to be possible.” With the help of forensic scientists and archaeologists from the Aranzadi Society of Sciences, plus two grants of just under 120,000 euros from the former Zapatero government, the association recovered the remains of 112 prisoners from the unmarked graves. It has now given back 21 of those to their families, identified by their DNA. “Valdenoceda was an extermination prison to where they sent prisoners from other jails to die,” said Isaac Arenal, one of the few survivors of the penitentiary, upon handing over the remains of some of his fellow inmates to their families in March 2012. “They didn’t execute them, they let them die,” said Jimmy Jiménez, of the Aranzadi Society of Sciences, during the exhumation.

in trading on Thursday, having recently risen above 6.7%. “Although the yield on the 10-year is just a tad below secondary market levels, these are prohibitive rates which underscore the dramatic deterioration in Spain’s perceived creditworthiness,” said Nicholas Spiro of Spiro Sovereign Strategy. “If it wasn’t for its banks’ continued support at auctions, Spain would be unable to sell its debt.” France also held a bond auction on Thursday, but its cost of borrowing fell. It raised 7.8bn euros in an auction of longterm bonds. For the 10-year bonds it paid an interest rate of 2.46%, down from 2.96% at its last auction a month ago. Spain is keen to avoid a full international bailout, which would be politically damaging and come with strict economic conditions. It favours a bailout targeted directly at its banks, rather than at central government. On Monday, the International Monetary Fund will be releasing a report into Spain’s banks, which will say they need an extra 40bn to 80bn euros of capital, according to Spanish newspaper reports. That is on top of the 80bn the country has already said it needs to raise this year. There are also reports due from two consulting firms into the balance sheets of Spain’s banks. The Spanish government is waiting for the reports before it decides how to recapitalise its banks. Ahead of her meeting with David Cameron, Chancellor Merkel talked about the need for Europe to have more power. “We need not just a currency union; we also need a so-called fiscal union, more common budget policies,” she said. “We need above all a political union. That means that we must, step by step as things go forward, give up powers to Europe.” r Cameron said no one leader could be “singled out” for responsibility and added that a “whole series of measures”, both shortand longer-term, were needed. “We’ve always said there’s some urgent action to stabilise markets which is about building firewalls, recapitalising banks. There’s also important on-going action to make sure we have plans, credible plans to deal with debt and deficit, but also there is the need for structural reform to get growth back in Europe and we support those structural reform plans,” he said, as he prepared to meet his German counterpart.

Government Loses Appeals Over Oil Prospecting

The Canarian Government has lost two judgements from the Canarian High Court in as many days. On Monday (4th), the Court rejected an appeal to annul the authorisation given to Repsol to carry out soundings off the eastern islands, and the following day it again found against the authorities in their appeal to stop the works proceeding.

The High Court not only refused to paralyse the works, but added that the national interest was more important than that of the region. Its judgement ruled that there was no risk to the islands in carrying out the soundings and, moreover, that it could represent a source of wealth for Spain in general.

El Hierro Experiences More Tremors

There has been new seismic activity on the island of El Hierro, specifically in the area of Frontera. During Monday morning (4th) there were 5 registered ear thquakes, although only one of them was felt by the islands population. In a period of 25 minutes, from 07.18 to 07.43, there were four earthquakes of between 1.6 and 2 degrees on the Richter scale, while

Sting’s Tenerife Concert Cancelled The Sting concert, due to take place on the 30th June in Tenerife, will not take place, according to the company organising the event, Maldito Rodríguez. The transport costs for the concert were originally quoted as 30,000 Euros but had risen to 185,000 Euros; over 5 times the budget. Over 13 counter offers were made by the organisers, but the costs cannot be lowered and therefore the concert has been definitively suspended. The concert was due to take place in the football stadium Heliodoro Rodríguez López in Santa Cruz. Despite rumours of low ticket sales, the organisers claim the cancellation

of the concert is not due to this, but the ‘last minute’ and ‘out of contract’ demands of Stings intermediary in mainland Spain, specifically with reference the transport of trailers, including a kitchen and offices.

Children in Vehicle Safety Campaign the fifth occurred at 12.45PM with its epicentre in the sea, near the Valle del Golfo area, with a magnitude of 2.9 degrees which was felt by the islands population in the

area of Frontera. All of the earthquakes occurred at a depth of between 17 and 20 miles, according to the National Geographic Institute‘s website.

The prosecutor of Road Safety, Bartolomé Vargas, announced on Wednesday (6th) that the Juvenile Prosecutor may suspend the guardianship of, or put into protective custody, any child if the parents are convicted at least three times for not carrying or using an adequate child protection system in their car.

Waste Management to G e n e ra te J o b s The Tenerife Cabildo and local councils agree that the management of waste in the Islands offers new business opportunities, and therefore employment. This was the message on Wednesday (6th), highlighted at the opening of the conference that was held at the Environmental Complex of Tenerife (Arico) on the importance of municipal care in the proper management of electrical and electronic equipment waste. The Deputy Minister of Environment for the Canary Islands, Guacimara Medina, stressed the need to understand the business of waste management is an area of new possibilities and referred to Tenerife as “a benchmark for the rest of the archipelago.” Medina insisted that the Canaries have to keep working on the environment and green jobs. The Cabildo’s Minister for Sustainability and Energy Waste, Miguel DíazLlanos, said the Special Territorial Plan Waste Management Tenerife (PTEOR) has achieved the dream of creating employment. “We have seen more innovation, more benefits for the environment and, in Tenerife, the circumstances are ideal for

carrying it out with the latest technology,” said Diaz-Llanos. The executive director of the Environmental Protection and Natural Urbano Agency (APMUN), Emiliano Coello, stressed the importance of involving all levels of government because “it is a commitment of present and future” and “our challenge is to be more efficient in waste management.” Meanwhile, the city councillor of Buenavista and representative of the FECAM, Vanessa Martín Évora, explained that, in the case of the municipality, the integrated management system has been a major advance, with higher incomes and savings.” We have to make an effort to build awareness for all administrations and citizens,” she said.

In a press conference, in which he explained the findings of a scientific study into the circumstances of deaths in traffic accident if children up to 14 years old, Vargas noted that he had “given instructions” to the traffic authorities to submit a report to the prosecutor, should the offender be issued a third denucia. In addition to this initiative, the Road Safety tax has also been raised,

to launch a protocol to investigate the causes of traffic accidents resulting in death. The protocol will include, explained Vargas, an autopsy of the deceased minor with data on weight and height to determine whether or not the seat belts were adequate. Should the results of the protocol determine that the child’s life could have been saved with proper protective element, or simply to have

used it at all, drivers can be charged with the crime of reckless homicide. According to the report, 46-percent of children under 14 years, who died between 2008 and 2010, did not use any element of retention, and of the percentage that it did, only 18-percent, wore it correctly. “51-percent of children who died would have survived if they had been correctly protected,” Vargas stressed.

An Exuberance Of Ambrosial Grace And Wisdom Jyoti Prakash Udhwani, Correspondant for the local Indian Community

His holiness Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji Maharaj or simply known as Pujya Swamiji is the president and Spiritual Head of The Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh: famed to be one of India’s largest and most renowned spiritual Institutions. The Parmarth has gained the accolade across the globe as one place where one shall definitely come into encounter with grace, beauty, serenity and true divine bliss. This ashram is also responsible for providing education, training, health care and etc. to those who are in need. ujya Swamiji is also the Founder and Chairman of the India Heritage Research Foundation, a nonprofitable charity organisation dedicated to the practice of humanitarian and cultural projects. The IHRF was founded in 1987, and hoists the objective of preserving the timeless wisdom and ageless grandeur of Indian Culture. He is also the founder and the Spiritual Head of the first Hindu Jain Temple in America. This beautiful 3-domed modern masterpiece and work of art is located on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and has paved the way and served as a bridge to connect Hindus and Jains across America. Pujya Swamiji has to his credit as being the founder and motivation behind many other temples now present all across the globe; like in the countries of the USA, Canada and Europe and Australia. The central core of Pujya Swamiji’s teachings are based on unity, harmony and belief in the ceaseless glory of God. His main mission is to bring each and every individual closer to God, regardless of which religion we belong to - whether one be a Hindu, a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim. Pujya Swamiji left his home at the tender age of 8 years, under the guidance and tutelage of his spiritual Master, so as to live a life of service to humanity and devotion to the creator. Today he is renowned as not only a spiritual leader, but as a visionary and divine guide, most especially to the youth. Pujya Swamiji has carried out his life accompanied by the motto “Giving is Living.” He is always the initiator and mentor of lots of divine projects carrying the aim of making this world a better place to live. Apart from this, he has also stressed on the eradication of our individual egos; he says that we should “Bend the I and make it a Bridge”. He believes that we should learn to let go, most specifically of our ego, because this becomes a hindrance in the

path of getting to know our true selves, and in merging with our creator. He fondly states that we should take this “I” and turn it sideways, making it horizontal, then it becomes a bridge and serves as a link to our families, communities, and the rest of the Nation. This actually means that we should humble ourselves and learn to sacrifice. It also means that we should realise that everything emancipates from God’s grace. No matter what happens we should always consider God as the light of our lives, regardless if we are in the spotlight or just among the background, it will not make any difference. We should always live with the truth that we are just pawns in the hands of God, and everything will happen according to his will. He further stresses, that “Expectation is the Mother of Frustration and Acceptance is the Mother of Peace and Joy.” Therefore if we live a life free of expectations our journey of life will definitely be smooth sailing and peaceful. We should always accept with open hands whatever comes our way; success, failures, gains and even loses. We should always maintain the diligence in our work and duties, and do what is expected of us incessantly, and the absence of expectations will bring about a level of emotional stability, this will make us realise that our ultimate goal is not the success we attain out of our endeavour, but the internal satisfaction. Swamiji emphasises that the best way to gain satisfaction in life is through silence, because when we are under the feelings of anxiety, anger, tension, or frustration, we tend to utter unpleasant words, which we regret later. We let these words fuel the reaction in our hearts. I remember very well one of the most beautiful anecdotes Swamiji shared with us in one of his visits here to Tenerife: some two years back, on the idea of keeping a “no reaction” and following the mantra, based on the experience of a wise four-year-old girl. In one of his visits to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, Guruji was requested to attend a house-warming party at the residence of one of his devotees. They had kept a Puja, or prayer, in their large beautiful home before they could move in, and a small gathering followed. On Guruji’s arrival he was escorted to the new living room; replete with wall to wall plush white carpeting. He was made to sit on a couch which was at the far end of the living room, while the host approached from the kitchen at the opposite end. He was

carrying a glass of orange juice for Swamiji on a tray. As he approached, his younger daughter, barely four years old ran up to him and excitedly asked, “Can I take the juice for Swamiji? Please Daddy? The father was quite pleased and at the same time proud of himself, as he saw the reflection of his own self in his daughter. “Sure, honey” he told his daughter as he gently handed her the tray. “But be careful not to spill it”. The young child walked in all enthusiasm, taking tiny careful steps, eyeing the silver glass filled with orange juice. When she was just two or three feet away from Swamiji, she looked up, she looked at his eyes and she was startled, for whatever reason, be it surprise, excitement or perhaps she got astonished by Guruji’’s beard. Whatever the reason, the result was the same, the glass toppled and fell. A huge orange stain spread quickly through the white carpet. The father, who was constantly eyeing his daughter form a distance shouted, “Priya!” His voice was filled with fury and anger. Little priya was scared, she couldn’t move, she just kept staring at the stain on the white carpet, her father was really upset and he screamed again. Still she was quiet and composed and she lifted up her eyes and looked at Swamiji, Finally, with her cool and steady voice, she looked back at her father and said, “Daddy, it happens”. What a mantra, indeed, yes, it happens. She did not intend for it to happen, she did not purposely dropped the glass of juice, she just did what was expected of her in her best possible way, and with the utmost of precaution, she could; yet it still happened. “It happens”, according to Swamiji, is one of the best no-reaction mantras he can give to us. Inevitably, despite our best efforts and most sincere precautions, things will happen in life. But although events may happen, mistakes may happen; we should not let our reaction happen. e should not drain out ourselves. Just remember, “It happens.” Swamiji is a perfect example of a humble teacher; he has had various acquaintances, and participated in various important engagements, and also has been the leader in numerous international, inter-faith conferences and parliaments, including the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago in 1993, the Parliament of World Religions in Capetown, South Africa in 1999, and the millennium World Peace Summit of Religions and Spiritual Leaders at the United Nations in New York in 2000. Also The World Economic Forum in New York in 2002,

the World Council of Religious Leaders at the United Nations in Bangkok in 2002, the World Conference of Religions for Peace in Kyoto, Japan in 2006, and the World Youth Peace Summit at the United Nations in New York in 2006. He is also a leader of frequent pilgrimages for peace across the world. The list goes on. Swamiji, has also been a favourite among the youth - the rapport and relationship he has established with them is really remarkable and an achievement in itself, for he firmly believes that “It is they who will lead this world into a bright, peaceful future.” And he also says that they should always be assisted and guided on their journey through life. Swamiji is not only an ocean of compassion and beauty, but is also a great epitome of a man of action and not mere words. The various projects carried out by the IHRF under his initiative are just few examples of Swamiji’s sincere dedication and perseverance in making this world indeed a better place to live. The IHRF has a vast picture; it is dedicated to youth education, spirituality, culture, inter-faith harmony, health care and ecology. It also patrons medical care programs, schools, orphanages, training centres, large-scale spiritual and cultural events, plantation of trees and clean-up programs. Further on, it also constitutes conferences geared toward inter-faith harmony, summer camps and international youth awareness programs. To cite some of them, for example is the Y.E.S or Youth Education Services - providing education in villages that endure under the darkness of poverty and illiteracy. The children and women in the YES program are given not only an education, but also hope. Tribal education, Tsunami relief and “Clean, Green and Serene” program - which is to create an awareness of environmental solemnity accompanied by the intention of reconditioning the natural balance of Mother Nature. This has always been the principle that IHRF has abided for: IHRF is dedicated to bringing food to the hungry, medicine to the sick, and peace to the troubled. IHRF does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, caste, gender or nationality. All of its services are open to all and free to all. Apart from all these endeavours on his shoulders, Swamiji has always remained cool, calm and composed; though he has received lots of awards, like Mahatma Gandhi Humanitarian Award, given by the Mayor of New Jersey, USA for outstanding charitable and interfaith work. Hindu of the year, 1991 by the International magazine Hinduism Today. Prominent Personality Award, 1999, by Lion’s Club. Best Citizens of India Award, 1999. He has also travelled a lot, worldwide - America, Europe, Asia and has also visited our island several times. Pujya Swamiji remains unpretentious by this great list of accomplishments and continues to remain pious; owning nothing, draped in saffron robes, and living a life of true renunciation. Thousands travel from America, Europe and Australia to taste the nectar of his genuine love, or just simply to sit in his presence - as for them his “darshan” is a lifetime elixir that gives long lasting happiness and contentment to the soul.

Hello readers. This week we visited “The Tree House Bar and Grill” in Chayofa, where they have gone for the traditional English country pub / carvery feel. With a well decked-out interior, including carvery hotplate area and traditional wood fuelled spit roast, where they do suckling pigs on special occasions, and a small raised stage for live entertainment. Then outside they have a nice, large beer garden with a little play area dedicated for the kids to enjoy, whilst you can relax in the sun. The menu consists of a mixture of traditional English favourites (starting at 7.95 Euros), basket meals (starting at 5.50 Euros) and a few dishes from around the world; including, Indian, Thai, American and Mexican. They also hold a curry and quiz night every Thursday, and also do a Sunday carvery. In my opinion, when first looking at the menu, I thought it was a little pricy, with steaks being priced up at 14.95 Euros (fillet) a 11.95 Euros (rump) to name just a couple. I opted to start with the deep fried camembert, served with cranberry sauce, and a garnish salad. My other half went for the classic prawn cocktail, both were very tasty and well presented, but again a little over priced in my opinion; both priced at 5.50 Euros each. For main course my other half went for rump steak, served with mushrooms and onions, tomatoes chips and salad, with the option of pepper, mushroom, garlic or mustard sauce. I opted for the stuffed belly pork, which consisted of boned and rolled belly of pork, with sage and onion, and apple stuffing, served with fresh vegetables, and either chips or a jacket potato. Whilst the belly pork was to die for,

May Saw Record Breaking Temperatures

The heat wave that hit the southern central Canary Islands, between 13th and 16th May, brought temperatures that reached the highest peak of the last 20 years; reaching 40.9°C in the southwest of Gran Canaria, claimed the Climatological Advancement of Meteorology Agency (AEMET). Generally, the thermal anomalies in average temperatures have been positive; ranging between 1.7°C in Santa Cruz and 3.2°C at Fuerteventura ’s airport of. Also, the minimum temperature was recorded as “very high” in many parts of the archipelago.

Since 1948 only four episodes like this have been recorded; the last in 2003. All of these occasions had a similar magnitude, evaluated in terms of spatial extent and temporal persistence of temperatures reached. The scenario has been characterised by relatively high pressures over the islands, which have prevented several storm systems from reaching the shore. This situation continued for most of the

with the combination of the rolled pork with nice crunchy crackling, heaps of meat, with the after taste of the apple sweetened sage stuffing coming through beautifully, unfortunately the vegetables were a little under cooked for my liking. My wife’s steak was cooked to her liking (well-done) but was a little dried out; even with the beautiful creamy pepper sauce they had with it. The salad was very basic and was mainly bulked out with lettuce with little of anything else, but the portions were ample enough to satisfy our appetite to the point of not even looking at the dessert menu. There is also the fact that even though the staff were very friendly and polite, the service was a little slow for the food to come out; as it took just under an hour, for starters and mains to be served, and that was just for the two of us. It wasn’t busy at all. But that still doesn’t take anything away from how filling the food was and how delightfully the Tree House is laid out.

month. Rainfall was scarce, focusing on a single episode that took place between the 19th and 21st, caused by the accumulation of moisture provided by the wind from the north, and affected all the islands except Lanzarote and Fuerteventura; where virtually no rainfall was recorded. There was also a minor episode, more isolated, affecting only the island of La Palma during 25th and 26th.

Spain’s Manufacturing Woes Deepen

The rate of contraction in Spain’s manufacturing sector was worse than that of Greece in May, according to a business survey. Markit’s Eurozone manufacturing purchasing managers’ index for the whole Eurozone dropped to 45.1 from 45.9 in April. Any figure below 50 suggests a contraction in the sector. Spain’s figure of 42.0 was the worst in the bloc, dropping below Greece’s level of 43.1. It was Spain’s fastest rate of decline in its manufacturing sector since May 2009. “Things went from bad to worse in the Spanish manufacturing sector during May,” said Andrew Harker, the report’s author. “The on-going lack of demand in the sector is mainly reflective of domestic problems, but the weakness in the rest of the

Eurozone was also reported to have weighed on demand in May.” Markit said this suggested the downturn in so-called peripheral countries was spreading into stronger nations such as France and Germany. Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said the figures were a cause for concern: “All four of the largest Eurozone nations are now reporting worryingly sharp downturns in their manufacturing sectors. Eurozone manufacturers reported a

deepening downturn in May, indicating that the damage to the real economy caused by the region’s financial and political crises continues to spread across the region.” Firms have also been cutting jobs. The survey showed staffing levels fell for the fourth month in a row. The European Central Bank will meet next week to talk about the level of interest rates. It is also expected to cut its growth forecasts for this year and next.

ECB’s Paramo Says Spain Has Room on Bank Recapitalization

European Central Bank Executive Board member Jose Manuel GonzalezParamo said Spain has room for manoeuvre in recapitalizing its banks through its Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring. “The government has frontloaded the issuance program this year so there is some room in case of need for public funds through the FROB,” Gonzalez-Paramo, said in an interview in Frankfurt at the end of May. “There is now progress on the external evaluation of the banking-sector needs and these will be known in one month’s time.” Spain, which this month nationalized Bankia group, the country’s third-largest bank, is trying to shore up lenders and help cash-strapped regions as its own 10-year bond yields approach the 7 percent level that prompted bailouts in Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has tasked consulting firms to carry out a valuation of banks’ books. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said this week that the region’s permanent rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, should be allowed

to shore up distressed lenders directly, bypassing national governments. The pound weakened against the dollar, touching its lowest level in more than four months, amid speculation the fallout from Europe’s debt crisis is spreading and will harm the U.K.’s economic outlook.

The down movement in the pound is to do with risk- aversion tied to the euro region. People are buying the US dollar and Japanese yen because of the turmoil in Europe and the pound is getting dragged down. Sterling was 0.5 percent weaker at $1.5408 at 5:07 p.m. London time, after falling to $1.5361, the

least since Jan 18. The U.K. currency weakened 0.4 percent to 80.24 pence per euro. It has gained 1.6 percent this month against the Euro, even as it reaching 79.51 pence on May 16, the strongest since November 2008. Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Monti and central bank chief Ignazio

Visco today pressed Germany to back more aggressive efforts to contain the region’s debt crisis, setting up a north- south rivalry over how to stabilize the euroarea economy. Concern that policy makers will struggle to shield the U.K. economy from the fallout from Europe’s debt crisis weighed on the pound, trimming a year-todate gain of more than 4 percent versus the euro. Britain slid into its first doubledip recession since the 1970s in the first quarter amid the euro area’s turmoil and Prime Minister David Cameron’s commitment to the biggest fiscal squeeze since World War II.

Te n e r i f e B l u e F l a g Price of Canary B e a c h e s F o r 2 0 1 2 Holiday Rentals Falls

The European Environmental Education Foundation has given 45 blue flags to Canarian beaches in 2012, 16 of which are in Tenerife. These are El Médano, La Jaquita and La Tejita in Granadilla de Abona; Las Vistas, Los Cristianos and El Camisón in Arona; Troya I-II, El Duque and Fañabé in Adeje; Playa La Arena in Santiago del Teide; El Arenisco in La Laguna; El Socorro in Los Realejos; San Telmo and Complejo Playa Jardín in Puerto de la Cruz; La Arena (Mesa del Mar) in Tacoronte; and Playa San Juan in Guía de Isora. Apart from an increase of 9 flags for Tenerife compared with 2011 this makes the 25th consecutive year that Playa La Arena has won the coveted flag.

Hashish Seized In La Laguna Policia National are investigating the arrival of an inflatable boat with a large quantity of hashish, which landed off the coast of Punta del Hidalgo in La Laguna, at dawn on Tuesday (5th). Agents were unable to intercept the drug traffickers in the hours after the landing, as had happened on the previous occasion. According to one source, an off-duty local police agent saw the landing and ran along the track that runs along the hermitage of San Juanito, where he found the suspected remains of drugs on the coast. The agent immediately called 112 and the National Police and Sea Rescue Helicopter were dispatched, to determine if anyone had drowned when the craft beached. An almost new Yamaha engine was found at the landing site. In addition, two Scientific Police Brigade professionals from La Laguna collected various pieces of clothing that could have been used by those

who transported the drug from the northwest coast of Africa. The clothing consisted of a sweater, socks and boots, among other things. The searchers also found the remains of a bonfire, which was allegedly lit by people who waited on land to guide the boat in and move the bales of

hashish to a secure deposit. The Judicial Police are looking for clues and evidence to help locate the criminals. However, because the group members escaped at the critical moment of landing, their capture and arrest will be difficult.

Forest Fire Could be Arson

The Gran Canarian Cabildo suspects that a forest fire, which broke out Wednesday (6th) in a pine forest near the town of San Mateo, could have been set deliberately. The flames were brought under control and fully extinguished by Friday afternoon. The Fire Investigation Branch of the Ministry of Forest Environment is investigating if the fire was intentional because it originated in a difficult to access area and the area is wholly within the pine forest, the sources pointed out.

The average holiday rental price in the Canary Islands has fallen by 38.85-percent, while in Spain as a whole, it has fallen only 17-percent, according to the latest analysis from homeaway. es, the Spanish website specialising in renting holiday apartments via the Internet. “After experiencing an average increase of 4.5-percent between 2010 and 2011, we noticed this year that the owners have opted to cut prices to provide the traveller an offer consistent with the current market momentum, and increasingly becoming more competitive with hotels,” says the website’s sales manager, Laura RiveraCásares. According to statistics from the site, the destination where prices have fallen the most is Costa Cálida (Murcia), where this year you can rent a

house for an average of 24 euros per person per day: 40.56-percent less than in 2011. In the Canary Islands the price has dropped nearly 38.85-percent. It follows the Costa del Sol, with a fall of 31.51-percent and the Costa Tropical, where rent costs are 23.22-percent less in 2012. At the other end of the scale, on the Costa Blanca, the price per person per day is at an average of 47 euros, up 18-percent from last year. On the Costa de la Luz, prices have increased an average of 13.32-percent, and in Valencia have risen 4.57-percent. The Balearic Islands, meanwhile, continue to be the more expensive this year, as far as rents are concerned; with an average price of 54 euros per person per day, although this represents a fall of 21.64-percent compared to the data a year ago.

Fire Prevention Efforts Are Hiring Hundreds of Unemployed La Palma’s Minister of Environment, Carlos González

Mata, has assured people that the economic crisis will not affect the monitoring of the forest fire season, which will begin on 15th June, and runs until mid-October. He clarified that “the defence of our forests, and population centres is a priority.” The counsellor said that more than 1.1 million euros had been earmarked to spend with Tragsa, the environmental company which will be hiring over a hundred new coworkers from late June. Mata González said that last year, “everything was as it is today. Nothing has suffered by the economic crisis.”

Fog Causes Delays at TFN

Fog that descended on Tenerife North Airport has led to delays of 45 minutes on average on six flights; three arrivals and three departures, according to sources at Aena Europa Press.

Two flights have also been cancelled to Gran Canaria and El Hierro, and three more from Gran Canaria had to be diverted to Reina Sofia (Tenerife South).

Translation Services Cut At Police Stations

The National Police Station in Playa de las Américas, the main police station in south Tenerife, introduced a new Foreign Tourist Service (Servicio de Atención al Turista Extranjero: SATE) at the beginning of June. The service was available between 9am and 2pm for psychological help and translation services to travellers who might be the victims of crime during their stay in Tenerife. This service is now being axed immediately due to cuts, the Dirección General de la Policía has announced in instructions to all

regional police chiefs. The Interior Ministry had originally intended to withdraw all interpretation services in comisarias, but this was found to be in breach of criminal justice legislation which recognises the right of those detained to assistance in their own language. What has finally been decided, however, is the withdrawal of translation services in the “presentation of denuncias and other procedures”. The change of heart is clearly shown by the two emails sent out, the second of which says the cuts are due to budgetary restrictions.

The Island Councils to Mark Centenary

Canary/insular Director of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Cristobal de la Rosa, attended a meeting on Wednesday (6th) to organise a committee for the commemoration of the centenary of the creation of the Islands’ Councils. The meeting, held after a second one conducted in Tenerife on 18th April, was chaired by the head of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, José Miguel Bravo de Laguna, and was attended by representatives of all councils, except La Gomera and El Hierro.

Cristóbal de la Rosa stated that “the centennial is a great opportunity to strengthen and promote the role that the councils will be called to play in the future; assuming full scope of authority, whose remit is the island territory.” The purpose of the meeting was to plan a program of events, activities and actions to promote cooperation and coordination between the islands, to celebrate the centenary of the Island Councils. The modern councils were created by the Councils Act of 1912 and were established after 1913.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife An Insightful Guide - Part Three

Welcome back to part three of our trip around Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz. Etymology The area where Santa Cruz currently lies belonged to the Menceyato Guanche area of Anaga, which was the most easterly of the island. The city that is now Santa Cruz has had a few names throughout its history: Añazo (Guanche name), Puerto de Santiago Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (current), which means: “holy cross in the island Tenerife,” in memory of the foundation of the city, when a Christian cross was planted in the place that is now the centre of town. Naval History Due to the strategic location of Tenerife on the route between the Mediterranean and the Americas, it was attacked a number of times by the English and the Dutch. In particular, Santa Cruz Bay was the scene of two notable naval engagements involving two of the most famous British admirals. In 1656, Admiral Robert Blake totally destroyed a Spanish silver fleet of 16 ships for the loss of none of his own, despite being under fire from shore batteries and attacking and withdrawing on the tide. 50 years later, the British, under John Genings were defeated when they attacked the island on November 6, 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1797 Admiral Horatio Nelson met with bloody defeat in an attempt to storm the harbour. It was at this battle that Nelson lost his right arm having been hit before he had stepped off the ship’s boat. It was on Santiago’s day and that is the reason for having Santiago’s sword cutting the lion’s head as a symbol of the British defeat. Tourist sites Auditorio de Tenerife (Auditorium of Tenerife): Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the Auditorium of Tenerife was constructed in 2003. The building has an organic and famous structure in the shape of ‘sails’ with white blue rollers. The auditorium has a big room for concerts, a room for opera and other smaller rooms. It is an emblem of the city and is one of the most photographed buildings. This building is in the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife close to the sea. It was inaugurated on September 26, 2003 with the presence of Felipe de Borbón, Prince of Asturias, and was also visited by former U.S. President, Bill Clinton.

For this reason, the Museum of Nature and Man is a world reference in regard to preservation of mummies. Commercial Areas Santa Cruz is popular for its wide commercial offerings, including zona Centro (Central area) - Pedestrianised Calle Castillo, San José del Pilar, Viera y Clavijo Zona Rambla (Rambla area) Calle Ramón y Cajal, and the big shopping centres and department stores in Avenida de 3 Mayo. The most upmarket and high street shopping is located along Calle del Pilar and nearby Parque Bulevar Shopping Centre, where many designer shops can be found. International and local brands of shops

Plaza de España (Spain Square): is the largest square in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Canary Islands. The square is located in the centre of town, just meters north of the Auditorio de Tenerife. It is the heart of the city, with a great artificial lake created by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron.

Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (Tenerife Space of Arts - TEA): Building also designed by Herzog & de Meuron and directed by the Canary architect Virgilio Gutierrez Herreros. The building houses the contemporary museum Óscar Domínguez Institute, the Alejandro Cioranescu Island Library and the Centre for Photography. In addition, the property has a hall, a restaurant, a shop, a public plaza and offices.

Parque García Sanabria: is a public urban park in the heart of Santa Cruz. It was inaugurated in 1926. It is a large garden area, combined with fountains and architectural groups. It is the largest urban park in the Canary Islands, with an area of 67.230m². Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos de Tenerife (Tenerife International Centre for Trade Fairs and Congresses): The complex was designed by architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. It is configured as a multipurpose building that can host major fairs, exhibitions and conferences that take place on the island. The Great Hall, located on the top floor, covers a total of 12,000 square meters, making it the largest covered space in the Canary Islands. Playa de Las Teresitas: is a beach in the village of San Andrés municipality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is one of the most important beaches of Tenerife and the Canary Islands.

Not only the wide range of shops makes the city attractive, but the lower prices found in many items, such as tobacco, alcohol, electronic devices, beauty products, sunglasses or even food or coffee. They are much lower than in most cities of Western Europe, including Spain, due to the very special and much lighter taxation on goods enjoyed in the Canary Islands.

Ru s s i a a n d C h i n a to Strengthen Trade Ties

The presidents of Russia and China laid out ambitious plans on Tuesday (5th) to tie their countries into a closer strategic and economic partnership, as both Beijing and Moscow seek to use each other to balance their relationship with the US. The two presidents set a goal of more than doubling bilateral trade from $83.5bn last year to $200bn in 2020, Hu Jintao, China’s president, said after talks with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. The ambitious target was announced together with a slew of investment and trading deals. It was held up by the two leaders as a sign of new heights for the relationship between two powers to be reckoned with on issues ranging from global trade to the international response to Syria. Mr Hu said that through closer co-operation China and Russia would “set the global political and economic order in a more fair and rational direction”. Chinese state media feted Mr Putin, a fairly frequent visitor to Beijing who had last been in town in October 2011, praising close and growing bilateral co-operation and consultation of the two nations on the world stage. People’s Daily, the ruling Communist party’s mouthpiece, even ran a long piece by Mr Putin himself in which he talked up ties with China. “Without the

participation of Russia and China, without considering Russia and China’s interests, no international matter or issue can be discussed and implemented,” he wrote. Moscow and Beijing have angered western countries with their refusal to back an international intervention in the brewing civil war in Syria. But Russian and Chinese analysts say the two countries are still far away from a close alliance. “The reason the Chinese media are hyping the visit like this is that a significant portion of the Chinese leadership, including the military . . . hope to build Russia into an ally to help push back against the US,” said Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center. “But for Mr Putin the focus is mainly on strengthening the economic relationship.” And, he cautioned, historical suspicions lingered. “There remains a lack of trust between the two sides, and none of the two wants a true alliance.”

Business Briefs

Family debt level has fallen back to what it was in September 2007. It is now at 3.5% and totals 855.84 billion euro. The Risk Premium has fallen back slightly in Spain at 530 points. It’s an important week with the Spanish treasury holding another debt bond auction after 15 days without facing the market. Portugal meanwhile has passed the exam from the ‘troika’ and will now receive another 4 billion from the EU. It is the next section of the aid approved by the EU for Portugal a year ago which now totals 78 billion euro. Portugal has placed a harsh austerity plan in action to contain costs, but has not managed to reactivate the economy which will fall by more than 3% of GDP this year. The Spanish Government’s fiscal amnesty is to be extended to include cash. To legalise cash in Spain it will be enough to say that you had it since before 2011 and then pay it into an account. The definitive text has been published in the Official State Bulletin. As in the rest of the amnesty it has to be presented before November 30 2012, and the money will also be subjected to 10% tax. The Government hopes the regularisation program will allow them to collect 2.5 billion euro. The President of Mercadona, Juan Roig, has said that Spain will be intervened in unless ‘we make a great effort’. He said that Spaniards have to make a change and realise that ‘we are living above our productivity level’. He told National Radio that ‘We have all overspent, including the unions, the businessmen, the banks, the politicians, the whole country’, and he said that ‘everyone’ has to, in a global way, work more. El Mundo has printed ten tips for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, from four experts; Financial Analyst, Juan Ignacio Crespo, Analysis Director from Bankinter, Ramón Forcada, IG Markets strategist Daniel Pingarrón, and the CEO of Profim, Victor Alvargonzález. Their suggestions are to remove Bankia from the Stock Market, establish the post of assessor for financial communication, more transparency but in an ordered way, ban on short trading, give the speculators a warning, get the ECM to mortgage investments as the Federal Reserve did at its time in the United States, taking the toxic real estate assets off the balances of the European banks, inject more liquidity to the banking sector, and have a rethink on the State model, noting that the markets are not convinced by the current budgets. They also suggest the Government should sell some of its best quality shares to ease the Risk Premium, and finally to make a clean start on Spain’s talks with the European Union, noting that Spain is the fourth economy in the Euro and without her the Euro would no longer be viable and 60% of German exports to Eurozone countries would be affected. The Partido Popular has called for an investigation into all the Caja Savings Banks, but also noted that ‘now was not the time’. The party says we have to be responsible and find out who is responsible, but PP General Secretary, María Dolores de Cospedal, said that now is the time ‘to help and work together’.

Qantas Profit to Slide 90%

Qantas said it expects its profits to fall by as much as 90% amid growing losses at its international operations and its “highest ever fuel bill”. It has forecast a profit before tax of between A$50m ($48.6m; £31.6m) and A$100m for the year ending 30 June. That’s down from a profit before tax of A$552m during the same period a year earlier. The firm’s shares dropped as much as 18% on the Australian Securities Exchange after the profit warning. “The forecast result reflects the recent deterioration in global aviation operating conditions driven by the European economic crisis, the Group’s highest ever jet fuel bill, and substantial capacity increases in the domestic market that have reduced yields,” Qantas said in a statement. The airline said that fuel costs for the period are expected to rise to A$4.4bn, an increase of approximately A$700m from the same period a year earlier. One of the biggest areas of concern for Qantas over the past few years has been its international operations. The division has been hurt by slowing demand in its key markets as well as higher costs of operation.

The firm said that losses at the division are expected to more than double to A$450m in the financial year ending 30 June. To make matters worse, the division was also hurt by strikes last year, which resulted in Qantas grounding its entire fleet in an unprecedented move and resulted in millions of dollars in losses. “They are in a lot of trouble with their international operations,” Siva Govindasamy of Flightglobal told the BBC. “The problem is that the competition has increased, which has put pressure on ticket prices, while the costs of operation including fuel have risen. It is a big struggle for their international business.” Qantas has already announced plans to split its international and domestic operations into separate entities in a bid to streamline its operations. It has also taken a slew of measures to try and stem

the losses and cut costs at its international division. The firm has withdrawn its services from lossmaking international routes, while increasing its capacity on the profitable ones. It has also announced plans to cut jobs as part of the restructuring exercise. “We continue to practice disciplined financial management,” chief executive Alan Joyce said in a statement. “We remain focused on returning Qantas International to profitability in 2014.” However, some analysts said that even though the firm had been taking steps to reduce its costs, it will have to overcome various external challenges, including a volatile global economic environment to meet the profitability targets. “At this point, I think that still looks optimistic but not impossible,” said Greg Fraser of Fat Prophets in Sydney.

Banks to Be Helped Directly From the ESM France and the European Union are insisting that European banks be ‘rescued’ directly. The French Economy Minister, Pierre Mosovici, has commented that ‘The direct recovery of the banks via the European Stability Mechanism, FEEF; is fundamental’, and made his comments on his first visit to the European Institutions and after meeting with the European Commissioner for Monetary and Economic Affairs, Olli Rehn. He said they were both in favour of the direct recapitalisation of the banks via the FEEF, saying it was a ‘fundamental question’ and that they hoped it would be debated in the European Council on June 28th and 29th. It is a policy which

Germany is set dead against, but the markets have responded by moving higher. Germany has once again rejected the idea of Eurobonds and has said that it is up to Spain whether or not to ask for a rescue. It follows several days of rumours that Germany was putting pressure on Spain, but reports now indicate the subject will not even be discussed at the next meeting between Merkel and José Manuel Durao Barroso. ‘It is not the adequate answer to the crisis,’ is the statement out of Berlin. Two thirds of Germans also reject the idea of Eurobonds. Germany has asked Spain, however, to give details on her needs for funds to recapitalise the banks.

Spanish Unemployment Figures Drop Castellón Resort “Rejected”

Unemployment fell in Spain by 30,113 but the fall is half that seen in May last year, according to the data from the Ministry for Employment. The number of under 25’s out of work was also down over the month, by 2.89% to 626,397. It is the second consecutive month to see a reduction as more people are taken on in the hostelry

sector and as domestic help. Social Security recorded an increase of 77,431 in these areas. Minister for Employment and Social Security, Fátima Báñez, considered the fall in unemployment and the increase in the numbers affiliated to the Spanish Social Security as good news, but she said the Government cannot be satisfied because there are still 5.6 million unemployed.

Shoplif ters Flee Police and Leave Their Baby Behind A couple caught stealing in a book shop fled the scene leaving their pram behind with their baby in it. When they returned to reclaim their child, they were immediately arrested. Police say they were in the shop in Badalona (Barcelona) and were seen slipping various items into their bags and clothing. Seeing they had been rumbled, the man and

woman turned and ran – leaving their baby in the book shop. The shopkeeper called the Mossos d’Esquadra – Cataluña’s answer to the Guardia Civil – who took the baby in. Later in the day, the couple returned to the shop to enquire where the infant was. The police were waiting for them and promptly put them in handcuffs.

Jittery Foreigners Take Their Money and Run

The extent of the lack of confidence of foreign investors in Spain was evidenced by a massive outflow of funds invested in bonds, stocks and bank deposits in March, figures released by the Bank of Spain showed. Net withdrawals in March came to 66.2 billion euros, almost double the amount in December of last year, which marked the previous record. The central bank began compiling financial investment flow figures in 1990. Spain’s risk premium hit a euro-era high of 540 basis points after a massive selloff of

government bonds. At the same time, according to figures from the European Central Bank, bank deposits by companies and individuals in Spanish banks declined 31.441 billion euros in April from the previous month to 1.624 trillion. That was the second biggest monthly fall after January 2010. Over the course of the past 12 months, deposits have declined by 103.735 billion euros. The fall in deposits was caused by non-residents withdrawing their funds. Deposits by Spanish residents actually increased by eight billion euros to 1.16 trillion.

As EuroVegas Casino Site

A day after Castellón announced that it wanted to be considered as a bidder for Sheldon Adelson’s EuroVegas, the Las Vegas Sands Corporation said that it would not consider the Valencia province’s offer to host the multi-millioneuro mega casino project at the Marina d’Or resort complex. Company sources said that “only Barcelona and Madrid are being considered” by Aldeson to build his mammoth casino, hotel and convention cantre project, but “thanked” Castellón for its interest, Europa Press reported. “At this moment, negotiations are nearly at their final stage,” the sources said, adding that both Barcelona and Madrid still have a “50-50 chance” of hosting EuroVegas. Castellón made a splurge on Monday (4th) when it announced that it was throwing its hat into the ring at this stage of the game. Lluís Recoder, the Catalan commissioner for territory and sustainability, said that he thought Castellón was “a latecomer.” Officials at Marina d’Or had said they only made a formal proposal to bid for

the project, and were waiting to hear from the chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation so they can set up a meeting. Landing EuroVegas would be a huge stroke of luck for Castellón, which has been grappling with two of the biggest regional construction flops of the past decade. Thousands of homes built during the real estate boom sit empty at the seaside Marina d’Or resort, in Oropesa del Mar, while Castellón is also dealing with a white elephant regional airport, which has

still not seen a single plane given that it is unable to obtain the necessary flight permits. What’s more, the State Agency for Air Security has found that its main runway is too narrow for airplanes to turn around, and will have to be widened to meet regulations. The subject of intense criticism by the Valencian Audit Office, the airport cost 200 million euros to build with an additional 30 million euros spent on advertising. It was the pet project of Castellón’s former provincial administrator, Carlos Fabra.

T wo A r r e st s A f te r Child’s B o d y F o u n d

The body of a three-year-old boy, Johan David, reported missing last week in Valencia, was found by police on Monday at a rubbish dump after a five-day search in the Dos Aguas area of the city. The child had been left in the care of two friends of his mother, Johammy Castro, who had been living and working in Paris for five months.

Last Tuesday Castro received a call from her two friends, Pura M. and Vanessa R., all of whom are Bolivian, saying that Johan had been “hit and taken away” by a policeman while they were out walking. The same day Castro returned to Valencia and with her friends distributed posters around their neighbourhood to draw public attention to the missing child. On Saturday, however, Pura M. and Vanessa R. testified before a judge that Johan had died in a domestic accident and that they had disposed of the body in a rubbish container. Both women have been remanded in custody on murder charges.

Neighbours of the suspects spoke of their shock at the news, saying that the two women looked after the child “as if he were their own.” Johan’s paternal grandmother, who flew from Bolivia to Spain when she learned of the tragedy, called for the accused to be given “the maximum” sentence possible if found guilty. Her son, Johan’s father, is unable to return to Spain because his residency permit has expired. “He is in a bad way and very upset for his irreparable loss and the way in which the boy died,” said Marina Guzmán on the steps of the Valencia regional High Court.

Nun’s Appeal Rejected S p a n i s h R e s i d e n t s O n Over Stolen Baby Case More Than 300 Databases

A nun in her 80s, who is the first person to be formally tried over the ‘stolen babies’ scandal, has had her appeal rejected by the prosecution service. María Gómez Valbuena, known as Sor María, is said to have been behind a number of cases of babies who were stolen from their natural mothers – who had been told they were stillborn – and sold to couples who supported Franco. In the main, the babies were stolen between the 1940s and 1990s, meaning thousands of people, ranging from pensioners to teenagers, are now finding out their parents are not their biological mothers and fathers. The case of Sor María came to light after a woman in her late 50s, María Luisa Torres, traced her daughter, Pilar, 30, having always suspected she was alive, despite being told by nuns

Every person in Spain is recorded on at least 300 databases worldwide, 50 of which are active, claim IT experts. Data protection law in Spain dictates that if a person so requests, their details can be removed from any commercial records, although it is nearly impossible to ascertain exactly where data is held. “The problem nowadays is that we do not know who is watching us – once, it was the State; now it is companies,” reveals Gemma Galdón, head of security policy at the Cataluña Open University (UOC). Social networks, loyalty

at the maternity hospital in Madrid that she had been born dead. Pilar’s mother said she was sure she had felt the baby moving during and after labour. She was later told by the nun that her baby had

been taken from her as a punishment because María Luisa was ‘an adulterer’, given that the child’s father was not her husband. Sor María, who is 87 this year, exercised her right not to testify in court.

cards, utility companies, CCTV cameras in the street and even college course applications all involve personal data being collected and sold to companies which use them for marketing purposes. “Today’s issue is how to delete your information from the internet – knowledge is money and power, and in five years’ time this will be even more the case,” warns Galdón, who says legislation needs to be passed to ensure total protection of members of the public. She recommends that when receiving a ‘cold call’ aimed at selling products or services, the

recipient asks where the caller obtained his or her data in order to ask for it to be removed. “There have been cases where certain countries – particularly the USA – have denied access through their borders to people whose data shows that the police have been to their homes at any time,” Galdón adds. “The danger of this widespread online information about everyone is that data is only used to create a profile, and is not necessarily the reality of that person. It is simply a caricature of them, and this can create far-reaching consequences.”

Spain Says No EU Bail-Out Before Bank Audits

Alicante Man Acquitted Of Abuse Kills Partner

A man handed himself in to the central Police Station in Alicante on Monday (4th) after admitting the murder of his 28 year old partner. The 35 year old Rumanian, identified as Manuel Lucian Cosman, said that he had stabbed her six or seven times leaving the kitchen knife stuck in her chest. Neighbours in Calle Catedrático Daniel Jiménez, in the Cisneros region of Alicante, reported hearing the woman screaming just before lunchtime but it was said that as this was a fairly regular occurrence, so they thought little of it. Following Cosman’s statement to the police a SAMU ambulance was dispatched to the house, but the medical team could do nothing to revive the woman. The couple’s two children, who were both in school at the time of the murder, were later taken into care by the authorities. According to neighbours, the couple were separated, although disputes between the two were frequent, so much so that on 7th May, the murdered woman reported Cosman’s abuse and threats to police. He

The victim’s sister had to be restrained by police was arrested and on the following day a court issued a restraining order preventing him from approaching within 500 meters of the woman or their children. He had been due to appear in court on 22nd May, charged with domestic violence, but that charge was dropped on 21st May when the woman, Iona Toflea, refused to testify. The prosecutor had no alternative but issue an acquittal. The Minister for Social Services and Equality, Ana Mato, condemned the murder stating that the death brought the total to 19 women who had been murdered by their partners or former partners so far this year, of which 18 had not complained of any earlier mistreatment.

Spain’s Catholic Church In Property Tax Row

Spain’s Socialist party is calling for the Catholic Church to pay property tax on any buildings not used for worship. It comes after it emerged the church is avoiding paying the so called IBI tax on its buildings due to a royal decree from the 1970s.

“If all citizens are making an effort, why not the church?” asked Óscar López, secretary of PSOE. However Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has opposed the scheme saying it is ‘irresponsible’ to change the law. He added the church plays ‘a very important social function’.

Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has cautioned that the results on an audit or the banking sector were needed before the country makes any request for a bail-out of its lenders. Mr De Guindos said in Brussels: “I have absolutely not discussed any intervention in Spain’s banks today.” Markets in Europe rose strongly on Wednesday on talk that German and Spanish governments are nearing a compromise on how to provide the Spanish banking sector with funds via the Eurozone’s EFSF rescue fund if needed. Spain’s Ibex jumped 2.9pc and shares in Germany, France, Italy and Britain rose between 1.4pc and 2pc. Under existing agreements, the EFSF can’t be used to directly recapitalise banks. It was created in 2010 to provide financial assistance to countries unable to access capital markets. Ireland, Portugal and Greece have all received EFSF loans.

A German opposition leader said a decision to use the EU bail-out fund to help Spanish banks should be taken within days, although there is clarity about what form should this take and what it will cost Spain. The EU Commission has hinted that allowing the European Stability Mechanism – the permanent bail-out fund which comes into force in July – to directly support banks is a “serious possibility”. Mr De Guindos said the results of an IMF report into the banking sector was due on 11gth June, and then there would be further reports from independent auditors. “After that, in no more than 10, 15 days we will have the report from the independent auditors ... which we are certain will be very similar to that of the International Monetary Fund,” he said. “From there the Spanish government will take the decisions it has to take in terms of recapitalising the institutions.”

Al Qaeda Hit By Death Of ‘Theological Pitbull’

Al Qaeda’s so-called “theological pitbull” has been killed in a drone strike in Pakistan, according to US officials - eliminating its second most senior member. Abu Yahya al Libi had been accused of being a pointman for militants in places like Yemen and Iraq. He was considered a coherent presenter of al Qaeda’s ideology, and second only to Ayman al Zawahiri, who took over from Osama bin Laden. US officials said al Libi was killed in the drone strike within Pakistan’s restive North Waziristan region. There have been reports of his death in the past which have been untrue, but the CIA says it has intelligence to show al Libi is now dead. The White House has called al Libi’s death a “major blow” to the terror group. Spokesman Jay Carney said: “We have confirmation of his death. There is now no clear successor to take on the breadth of his responsibilities. I can’t get into details about how his death was brought about, but I can tell you he served as al Qaeda’s general

manager.” Documents found in the Pakistani hideout of bin Laden, who was killed in May last year, appear to show just how well connected al Libi was in bin Laden’s inner circle. His style was seen in contrast to Zawahiri who has been described as divisive and uncharismatic. Al Libi was a Libyan-born chemistry graduate who travelled to Afghanistan in the late 1980s and then joined the Libyan Fighting Group with the aim of ousting Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. He studied Islam in Mauritania, but was arrested in Pakistan in 2002. After being transferred to the high-security Bagram airbase in Afghanistan he somehow managed to escape - going on to secure

his rising position and authority within al Qaeda. If true his death will be a big loss for al Qaeda, but analysts say there are always others prepared to step-up, including American convert Adam Gadahn who has already been prominent in al Qaeda’s propaganda operations. America is heralding a key victory against al Qaeda, but the use of unmanned drones on sovereign Pakistani territory is causing a massive strain in USPakistani relations. The strikes have escalated in the last two weeks, prompting Pakistan to summon the US charge d’affaires to its foreign ministry to convey what it described as “serious concerns”.

Linkedin Passwords ‘Leaked By Hackers’

Social networking website, LinkedIn, is investigating claims that over six million of its users’ passwords have been leaked onto the internet. Hackers posted a file containing encrypted passwords onto a Russian web forum. They have invited the hacking community to help with decryption. LinkedIn, which has over 150 million users, has not released a formal statement, but tweeted: “Our team is currently looking into reports.” Later, it added: “Our team continues to investigate, but at this time we are still unable to confirm that any security breach has taken place.” Security researcher Graham Cluley told the BBC he believed the breach was genuine. “We’ve confirmed there are LinkedIn passwords in the data. We did this by searching through the data for (hashed) passwords that we at Sophos use only on LinkedIn. We found those passwords in the data. We also saw that hundreds of the passwords contain the word ‘Linkedin’. Our advice is to change your LinkedIn password. And if you use the same password on other accounts, change it there too.” The news comes as LinkedIn was forced to update its mobile app after a privacy flaw

Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly

was uncovered by security researchers. Skycure Security said the mobile app was sending unencrypted calendar entries to LinkedIn servers without users’ knowledge. The information included meeting notes, which often contain information such as dialling numbers and passcodes for conference calls. In response LinkedIn said it would “no longer send data from the meeting notes section of your calendar”. The company stressed that the calendar function was an opt-in feature. However, the researchers who uncovered the flaw said the transmission of the data to LinkedIn’s servers was done without a “clear indication from the app to the user.” In a statement posted on the company’s blog, LinkedIn’s mobile product head Joff Redfern said a new “learn more” link would be added to the app so users have a clearer picture about how their information is being used and transmitted.

Sheryl Crow Reveals Brain Tumour Diagnosis Sheryl Crow has revealed she has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, but has reassured fans that it is benign. The singer-songwriter insisted on a brain scan after repeatedly forgetting the lyrics to her own songs. She told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she was diagnosed with a tumour last year but decided to keep the news a secret. “I haven’t really talked about it,” she told the newspaper. “In November, I found out I have a brain tumour. But it’s benign, so I don’t have to worry about it. But it gives me a fit.” A representative for the singer, whose hits include All I Wanna Do and Soak Up The Sun, was not immediately available for comment. Crow said she had a history of memory loss dating back to the 1990s when she forgot the lyrics to A Change Would Do You Good while singing in a show in Las Vegas. “I worried about my memory so much that I went and got an MRI (magnetic resonance

imaging). And I found out I have a brain tumour,” she said. “And I was like, ‘See! I knew there was something wrong.’” She made headlines in May when she forgot words to Soak Up The Sun at a show in St Petersburg, Florida. On stage at the time, she joked: “I’m 50. What can I say?” Crow, who has two children, was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in 2006, which was successfully treated that year.

Israel Rejects Controversial Settler Law

Israel’s parliament has rejected controversial legislation that would have legalised unauthorised Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The bill, opposed by the country’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was defeated by 69 to 22 votes at the Knesset, with 29 abstentions. The vote paves the way for the removal of five buildings in the hilltop settlement of Givat Ulpana, which Israel’s High Court ruled were built on privately owned Palestinian land. But, in an effort to appease the powerful settler movement, Mr Netanyahu has pledged to move the structures to a former Israeli military base in the West Bank and construct an additional 300 homes in the nearby settlement of Beit El. The move will anger the international community which views the expansion

of settlements as an obstacle to progress in the peace process. The Palestinians have refused to restart negotiations with Israel unless a total freeze on settlement activity is declared. Hundreds of settlers and their right wing supporters joined protests outside the Knesset, attempting to block the roads as the vote began. “A Jew does not evict a Jew,” some of the protesters chanted. There were minor scuffles with police. Mr Netanyahu opposed the bill because he said it challenged the rule of law in Israel, threatening the government’s ability to control the process of construction and approval of Jewish settlements. He said the rejection of the legislation would strengthen the settler movement not weaken it. Israel’s prime minister, facing a potential rebellion

by some of the far right members of his coalition, threatened to dismiss any ministers who voted in favour of the bill. The buildings in Givat Ulpana are due to be removed on 1st July, but further legal challenges could delay the process. Israel considers a number of small “hilltop outposts” to be illegal because they were built without government permission. The UN deems all of the West Bank settlements - home to hundreds of thousands of Israelis - to be a violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention forbids the transfer of civilians onto occupied land. Israel claims a historical right to build in the West Bank - territory it terms Judea and Samaria - because of the Jewish connection to the biblical land.

Body Parts Case: Remains Sent To Schools

The case of a Canadian porn actor suspected of cutting up and eating his ex-lover has taken a new twist after packages containing a foot and hand arrived at two schools.

Police said they could not immediately confirm if the body parts in question were the missing extremities of Chinese student Jun Lin. One of Jun Lin’s hands and one of his feet were discovered last week when they were mailed to Canada’s top political parties. The suspect, Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was caught on Monday (4th) in Berlin, after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. He has told German authorities he will not fight extradition to Canada. Vancouver deputy police chief Warren Lemcke said a package containing a human hand was opened by staff at False Creek Elementary School in Vancouver on Tuesday. Another package containing what appeared to be a human foot was found by staff at St George’s private school for boys in the same city later in the day. The British Columbia Coroner’s Service and Vancouver police’s major crime investigators have

been called in. “There is no indication any student or staff has been targeted at any school,” Mr Lemcke said. “This must have been a very traumatic incident for all involved in the schools.” Video footage of what authorities believe to be the killing seems to show the suspect eating the body, said police in Montreal, where the death occurred. It is alleged that Magnotta filmed the slaying in his Montreal studio apartment and posted it online. A copy of what police believe is the video of the killing shows a man with an ice pick stabbing another naked, bound male. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it. Shortly after the killing, authorities say, Magnotta flew from Montreal to Paris. He was arrested while reading about himself at an internet cafe in Berlin. He appeared before a German judge on Tuesday (5th) and was held, pending extradition, police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said.

Top Chinese Dissident Found Dead in Hospital

A leading Chinese dissident, imprisoned after the 1989 Tiananmen pro-democracy protests, has been found dead under strange circumstances, his relatives and rights groups said. Officials said Li Wangyang, who was freed from jail a year ago, hanged himself in hospital, where he was being treated for heart disease and diabetes. But Mr Li’s brother-in-law questioned the death, saying Mr Li had showed “no signs of suicide” in a recent meeting. Mr Li spent more than 22 years in jail. Zhao Baozhu said he saw the body of his brother-in-law in a hospital in the central Chinese city of Shaoyang. Mr Li was found in his room with a white strip of cloth around his neck connected to a window bar above, Mr Zhao said. He said the authorities had then taken away Mr Li’s body without approval from the family. “The last evening we were together, Li Wangyang did not show any signs of suicide; it is strange,” Mr Zhao told AFP news agency. “Li Wangyang is a man with a strong mind and strong spirit,” he added. He told the news agency he did not want to comment further as he was afraid his phone was being monitored. The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in China said Mr Li died “unusually”. “We cannot rule out that security guards monitoring him tortured him to death and faked a suicide,” the centre said in a statement. Mr Li, a labour rights activist, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the 1989 Tiananmen protests, the centre said. He was released in 2001 but later sentenced to another 10 years for “inciting subversion”.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Condition ‘Considerably Improved’

Buckingham Palace has said Prince Philip’s condition in hospital has ‘improved considerably’ after the 90-year-old was forced to miss the conclusion of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations with a bladder infection. “Despite his improved condition, the Duke of Edinburgh will remain in King Edward VII hospital in London for the next few days as a precaution,” the Palace added. “The treatment of his infection continues with antibiotics,” a spokesman said. “He is likely to remain in hospital over the next few days. He is in good spirits.” The Duke was too ill to attend Monday’s (4th) starstudded concert on the Mall and also missed the finale to four days of events. In Prince Philip’s place, the Queen travelled to St Paul’s Cathedral with Lady Farnham, one of her

ladies-in-waiting, and sat next to Prince Charles during the national service of thanksgiving. In the subsequent carriage procession the Queen travelled with her eldest son and the Duchess of Cornwall, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry joined her on the balcony of Buckingham

Widower Breaks Down At Mauritius Murder Trial

The widower of Michaela McAreavey has broken down at her murder trial in Mauritius as he described the moment he found his new bride strangled in their hotel room. John McAreavey said police handcuffed him and left him in a room for five hours after the 27-year-old’s murder. Giving evidence as a prosecution witness in the country’s Supreme Court in Port Louis, Mr McAreavey said one officer said to him: ‘What are you crying about? You’re young, you’ll get another wife.’ The accountant, from County Down, Northern Ireland, said his life ‘ended’ when his ‘wonderful, wonderful’ wife died on their honeymoon. ‘She had so many special qualities that it would be impossible for me to fully explain how a good a person she was,’ he said of his wife. Two hotel workers are accused of killing the teacher, from Country Tyrone, when she found

them stealing items from their hotel room. ‘Michaela was cold,’ Mr McAreavey told the court. ‘And her lips were blue and I kept on just saying “Michaela, Michaela, wake up, come on, come on”. Then I could see this mark on her neck. I didn’t know what was going on. I was grabbing her and trying to press on her chest and trying to attempt CPR. I don’t even know CPR. I was just holding her in my arms, telling her to come on, just to wake up.’ Mrs McAreavey, the daughter of Tyrone Gaelic football boss Mickey Harte, was found strangled in Luxury Legends hotel last January, two weeks after their wedding in Northern Ireland. Hotel workers Sandip Moneea, 42, and Avinash Treebhoowoon, 31, deny murder.

Palace for the flypast and rifle salute. Earl and Countess of Wessex said the Duke of Edinburgh was ‘getting better’ and ‘in good spirits’ after visiting him in hospital. During Monday’s concert the Prince of Wales addressed the crowd about his father’s health. “The only sad thing about this

evening is that my father cannot be here with us because unfortunately he’s been taken unwell,” the prince said. “Ladies and gentlemen, if we shout loud enough he might just hear us in hospital.” The crowd subsequently stamped their feet and chanted: ‘Philip, Philip’.

The number of cases of Legionnaires’ disease has risen to 21 with a further 19 cases suspected, Scottish health secretary Nicola Sturgeon has said. One man has already died as a result of the outbreak, but Ms Sturgeon told a news conference the risk to the general public was very low. Of those being treated for the disease, 12 are in intensive care. Dr Duncan McCormick, chair of NHS Lothian’s incident management team, earlier told the BBC he expected more people to be struck down before the weekend. ‘The incubation period of Legionnaires’ disease is between two and 14 days, but the average is five or six days, so we’re expecting to have more cases over the next few days,’ he revealed. ‘But if our evidence and reaction have been correct, we hope to have removed the source through our shock treatment of these cooling towers. We’d hope that by the weekend - five or six days after the treatment, we’ll start to see a decline in cases.’

The fatality was a man in his 50s who had underlying health conditions. Out of 15 other cases 13 men and two women, aged between 33 and 74, were being treated in intensive care. One man has recovered and has been allowed home. The majority of the confirmed cases are linked to areas south-west of Edinburgh. Dr Duncan McCormick, consultant in public health medicine at NHS Lothian, said: ‘I would like to reassure the public that household water supplies are safe and that Legionnaires’ disease cannot be contracted by drinking water.’ Health experts have now taken samples from four industrial water cooling towers – a common source of the bug that causes the disease. Bacteriology expert Professor Hugh Pennington said infected water can be emitted in fine droplets before being breathed in by people living nearby. Symptoms include headaches, muscle pain, fever, a persistent cough and sometimes vomiting and diarrhoea.

We may all live 2,000 miles away from Great Britain, but that didn’t stop us from wanting to celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. There wasn’t a celebration in Tenerife that could have topped the Decades Diamond Jubilee Street party on Tuesday, 5th.

Many of you will have already seen Bitter & Twisted in their brilliant Decades Spectacular and Hollywood shows, but they pulled out all the stops for Her Majesty. While the guests were served Pimms and cucumber sandwiches on the front terrace, Bitter and Twisted arrived resplendent as cleaning ladies and proceeded to sweep and mop the floors, much to the amusement of the guests. They then wheeled out a trolley and served canapés and caused general chaos all around them. The seven-course Queen-sized buffet included everything we know and love about British cuisine, all served with a twist. Starting with an English breakfast flan stuffed with bacon, sausage, tomatoes and black pudding, this was swiftly followed by fish stew. Good old favourite, bangers and mash, with Lincolnshire sausages, caramelised onions, creamed potatoes and red wine gravy was next and then Cheddar cheese and Farmhouse Pickled onion

hedgehogs made an appearance. How retro can you get?? Whitby Cod in a light beer batter with Crinkly Chips were served in Union Jack cones and handed out, and it made everything look slightly Blackpool tinged!!!!!

A magnificent Jubilee Cake, made by Sugar Slice Ann was cut, wedding style, by Bitter & Twisted and served to the guests with yet another dessert of Scottish Shortbread Fingers, mini Banofi Pies and a chilled miniature Baileys which finally finished this sumptuous spread. Absolutely no-one could have left this event hungry. This huge feast came with as much wine, beer and soft drinks you could consume and the guests did their very, very best to make a very big hole in the cellars at Vivo! Whilst this banquet was being served the crowds were entertained, firstly by resident singer Marc Craig, original member of

the famous Wildboyz. He sang a medley of songs through the decades to get the party started. We then had a ridiculous game of “Pin The Tail On The Corgi”, much the same as the donkey version, but more appropriate!!!!

Bitter & Twisted took to the stage and performed their outrageous show and brought the house down. If you have seen them in action, you will get the general idea,

if you haven’t, then make it a priority; these two are not to be missed. Throughout the day people sang and danced, to old, old favourites, and waved their flags with huge enthusiasm; it really was a blast from the past and, although it wasn’t on a street, the venue managed to capture the feel of a real good old English street party. The London celebrations were shown on giant televisions and screens throughout the venue, so people could see The Queen and the Royal Family during the parade and balcony appearance, and so felt they were part of those celebrations as well. Bitter & Twisted got the crowd standing and singing the National Anthem as well as songs appropriate to

The Ritmanis Escuela De Baile brought around 25 littlies to perform; and they were wonderful, their choreography and costumes were superb and every guest at the venue stopped everything to watch them, a real pleasure to see and even a few tears were shed at the sheer cuteness factor!! Whilst everyone was eating, drinking and generally making merry, no-one ever forgot that the culmination of this brilliant day was going to be a raffle. And not just any old raffle. This was, to go along with the theme of the day, magnificent. The first prize was a 7 day island and Morocco cruise, donated by Thomson cruises. Second prize was a diamond Pendant worth over 500 Euros donated by Fly Fotography.

EURO 2012 in Poland & Ukraine

Starts Friday 8th June

Keep a track of all the match results using our Euro 2012 pull out on pages 20 & 37

UEFA has released details of the UEFA EURO 2012 opening ceremony at the National Stadium in Warsaw on 8 June. The performance will start 20 minutes before kick-off of the tournament’s opening match between Poland and Greece. It will offer a fitting curtain-raiser to three weeks of a celebration of national team football in Poland and Ukraine. The concept for the UEFA EURO 2012 opening ceremony has been developed by Marco Balich, Olympic Producer and president of events and ceremonies company Filmmaster Events. Balich created the opening and closing ceremonies of the Turin Olympics in 2006 and is also known in Ukraine, having produced the opening ceremony of the Donbass Arena in Donetsk in 2009. The 12-minute show will combine heritage and innovation, to bring sport and culture together and mark the start of a historical event, the first UEFA European Football Championship to be staged in central and eastern Europe. It will also promote the participating nations together with key EURO values: unity, rivalry and passion. Renowned Hungarian classical pianist Adam Gyorgy, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday with a sold out concert at New York City’s Carnegie Hall, will perform a Chopin Étude in a minor (Op.25 Nr.11) as part of the ceremony, to bring the pure classical tradition of Chopin into a sport environment. Gyorgy is no stranger to football, being a major fan himself, and playing as part of his daily routine. He was previously involved with the Hungarian national futsal set-up. The opening ceremony will include mass choreographies involving more than 800 volunteer performers, coming from as many as 63 countries around the world. More than 150 million live viewers are expected to watch the opening match and its ceremony.

What’s a Numberblock you ask? A Numberblock is group of numbers formed in a block. The numbers in each row add up to the totals to the right. The numbers in each column add up to the totals along the bottom. The diagonal lines also add up the totals to the right. Some of the numbers are missing. You fill in the missing numbers.

Britain In A Day

BBC 2 - 9:00 - 10:30 pm On Saturday 12 November 2011 an eclectic range of British people turned the camera on themselves, capturing the entertaining and mundane, the exciting and unusual, the poignant and the everyday. The result covers everything from breakfast with the family to an unexpected marriage proposal and life in a detention centre. Britain In A Day tells the fascinating story of the British public in their own words.

Directed by BAFTA-winner Morgan Matthews (The Fallen, Scenes From A Teenage Killing), the 90-minute film offers an extraordinarily candid look at 21st century life across the UK, masterfully crafted from over 750 hours of footage, including 11,526 clips submitted to YouTube. Matthews’ unique documentary offers remarkable insight into the lives, loves, fears and hopes of people living in Britain today. Produced by Liza Marshall

for Ridley Scott’s production company, Scott Free London and executive produced by Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald, this captivating self-portrait of Britain forms part of the BBC’s Cultural Olympiad. After Britain In A Day premieres on BBC Two an immersive online archive will be launched to showcase the full-length submissions the film is comprised of. The archive will be available at bbc. co.uk/britaininaday.

Murdoch, Cameron & The £8 Billion Deal

Channel 4 - 8:00 - 8:30 pm As David Cameron prepares to take the stand at the Leveson Inquiry, Peter Oborne investigates just how close the Prime Minister got to the Murdoch empire. Did the Tories agree to help the mogul secure a business deal worth £8bn? As the scandal surrounding hacking inches ever nearer to the centre of power, Oborne speaks to those close to Cameron, reveals new insight into his relationship with Murdoch’s inner circle and explains the magnitude of the political crisis now confronting the country.

Silk BBC 1 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm Martha is representing Jackson Henderson in a death row case at the Supreme Court. Briefs don’t come with higher stakes than this. But Billy is worried; he knows the emotional strain a case like this will have on her, plus Micky is still pursuing her for Jody Farr. With the clock ticking until Jackson’s execution in Jamaica, Martha faces one of the toughest legal arguments of her career. The day of Fatima Ali’s trial looms, and Clive increasingly feels that he’s not the right barrister for her. At the risk of losing George, Clive

persuades Martha to take the brief instead, conveniently leaving him free for the trial of his career, prosecuting Jody Farr. Martha knows unless Fatima speaks up for herself, the truth will never come out. Just as she thinks the case is lost, Martha is offered a deal with the Devil in return for Fatima’s freedom… Maxine Peake is Martha; Rupert Penry-Jones is Clive; Neil Stuke is Billy; Phil Davis is Micky Joy; Frances Barber is Caroline Warwick ‘CW’; Indira Varma is George Duggan; Shaun Evans is Daniel Lomas; Shanaya Rafaat is Fatima; and Natasha Williams is Florence Henderson.

Jimmy And The Giant Supermarket

Channel 4 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm Jimmy Doherty tries to transform Tesco’s own brand chicken Kiev (they sell two million of them a week). He wants to create a free range version and finds the solution in the form of ‘spent’ egg-laying hens. Once these hens have come to the end of their egg-laying lives, their meat is normally exported to Africa. Jimmy successfully creates a prototype for his affordable free range Kievs.

But will Tesco Head of Product Quality, Richard Stride, and Tesco’s Customer Taste Panel like it? Jimmy also turns his attention back to British rose veal, to help stop the needless slaughter of tens of thousands of male dairy calves after birth. And he gears up for the launch day of his affordable free range products, to see if the public will buy them or not.

Viscount and Viscountess Brookeborough have

lived in Colebrooke Park, a neo-classical mansion in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, for over 30 years. Having rescued the property, built in 1820, from near ruin, Alan and Janet have devoted their lives to maintaining the house, raising the funds they need by hosting

exclusive shooting parties. But their work isn’t sustainable. Simon believes the answer lies in the conversion of the house and grounds into a health and wellbeing business that includes a spa in the former stable. But Alan and Janet are reluctant to open their home to strangers.

The Men Who Made Us Fat BBC 2 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm Around the world, obesity levels are rising. More people are now overweight than undernourished; two thirds of British adults are overweight and one in four of us is classified as obese. In the first of this three-part series, Jacques Peretti traces those responsible for revolutionising our eating habits, to find out how decisions made in America 40 years ago influence the way we eat now. Peretti travels to America to investigate the story of High Fructose Corn Syrup. The sweetener was

championed in the US in the 1970s by Richard Nixon’s Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz to make use of the excess corn grown by farmers. Cheaper and sweeter than sugar, it soon found its way into almost all processed foods and soft drinks. HFCS is not only sweeter than sugar, it also interferes with Leptin, the hormone that controls appetite, so once you start eating or drinking it, you don’t know when to stop. British nutritionist John Yudkin was one of the first to raise the dangers of sugar but his findings were discredited in America at the time.

Tenerife Weekly - 8th June - 14th June 2012 COMMUNITY MATTERS

Community matters

Written by Ken Cumming Pastor of Callao Salvaje Community Church

Do You Love God’s Word? ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.’ Matthew 24:35 One of the first books to come off the printing press when it was invented was the Bible. And it’s still the world’s best-selling book. An anonymous author has written: ‘It contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the fate of sinners, and the happiness of believers. It is a light to direct you, food to nourish you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveller’s road map, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s weapon, and the player’s game plan.

It’s a mine of incredible wealth, and a river of genuine joy. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Christ is its grand subject, your good its design, and the glory of God its end. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be spiritually healthy. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. Let it fill your memory, rule your heart, and guide your steps. It is given to you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered for ever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest

Spiritual Landmarks

‘This I call to mind and therefore I have hope.’ Lamentations 3:21 You need to establish some spiritual landmarks in your life to remind you of the times when God intervened on your behalf. Someone said, ‘We’re not slow learners, just quick forgetters.’ How soon we forget, or claim credit for things we had little to do with. When God parted the Jordan River for His people to cross over, He knew something they didn’t-that on the other side they would face some big challenges, including the City of Jericho. That’s when they would need ‘reminders.’ So He told them to collect twelve stones from the Jordan and build a monument,

so they and their children would recall His past faithfulness to them. Samuel did the same after Israel defeated the Philistines. He took a stone and named it Ebenezer, meaning, ‘...Thus far the Lord has helped

labour, and judge those who trifle with its sacred contents.’ The Bible is ‘The word of our God which shall stand forever...’ (1Peter 1:25). Most of us respect the Bible; the trouble is we don’t read it daily and put it into practice. After hearing a discussion on various translations of the Bible, one man said: ‘I prefer my mother’s translation, because she translated it into everyday life.’ Are you doing that?

us’ (1Samuel 7:12 NKJV). Before you give in to discouragement, doubt or defeat, stop and recall what God has done for you ‘thus far.’ Like the day you met Jesus, or the times He guided you, or the doors He opened that you thought were permanently shut, or the scrapes He brought you through. Keep a record of these events and refer to it often. It will help you to remember His goodness when you tend to forget it. It will give you a sense of gratitude for yesterday’s blessings, and confidence to face whatever tomorrow brings. ‘This I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness’ (Lamentations 3:21-23 NIV).

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

More of your questions answered

After a great response from all the people that wrote to us on your hair and beauty questions, we are pleased to be able to answer some more of your queries in this week’s column. Hi Jade & staff, I really enjoy your columns and was hoping that you could help me with a little problem I have with my hair. Although I condition it regularly with good conditioners, it is always very dry and broken. I do admit that I dye my hair with shop dyes, but I am very careful not to get the dye on the ends. What is the difference in the shop bought products and what hair stylists use?

Hello to all of you at the Perfect Gift Salon, I have been having tips for a long time and am now trying to grow my nails. I do understand that they will take a while before they become strong again, but do you have any advice to help them grow stronger.

Regards Mrs. Woolhouse

Alison Watson

Hi Alison, this is very common problem and although you think you’re not getting the dye on the ends, you are! When we hair stylists apply the dye we put it only on the root that needs it. Also the difference between doing it yourself and in a salon is that you get a more even coverage. The stylist will ensure that all the dye is rinsed out, and normally they offer a trim after a dye. Home dyes are cheap and cheerful, but will cost you more in the long run when you make a mistake. From Rachal. Hi Jade, don’t know if you remember me, but I had some Hollywood lash extensions done by you 3 weeks ago and you told me they last up to 3 months, I have lost a few and they seem to be twisting a little now. Have I done something wrong?

Angie

Hi Angie, yes I do remember you, and don’t worry, it is normal to have lost a few lashes and for them to twist a bit, the reason they are twisting a little is because your natural lashes are growing.

The Hollywood’s are further away from the eye, so they will twist and turn. Don’t be tempted to put mascara on, it will just clog them up. Although they last up to 3 months, you will need to pop back in to have the infill’s done, which is normally around every 3-4 weeks so that I can tidy the lashes and replace the few that are missing, they will look like new again, but please don’t leave it too long because if you lose too many you will need a full set done. Jade x

Hi Jade, I read your column religiously. I’m 22. From what I can tell by your writing, you’re in your early 40s. My question is short and sweet: what would you tell your 20-something self if you could talk to her now?

Hello Mrs. Woolhouse. There are actually quite a few things that you can do to strengthen your nails; get yourself a good nail strengthener, using it regularly. Also you will need a cuticle conditioner, which you should massage around the cuticle twice a day, and this promotes healthy nail growth for the undamaged nail that is growing through. Even though you want your nails to grow quickly, you should file a very small amount of your nail away each day, it will help them to grow stronger and quicker, the same reason why we should have our hair trimmed regularly. Lastly avoid using nail varnish, it suffocates the nails making it harder for them to breath. I hope this helps and good luck. Jade x Advice seeker! Hi advice seeker! I love your question, but where do I start? Hmmm ok, I would have packed up smoking a long time ago, it really ages the skin, making it dryer, wrinkled and even causes sagging of the neck. I would have kept up on my fitness regimes; the longer you go without a good workout, the harder it is to get back into, resulting in feeling a lot more sluggish than we did in our teens. I would have used an anti aging cream earlier in life rather than thinking I have years before it was necessary, and would probably have used a higher factor sun block over the past 10 years that I have lived here; and that would be all over, not just the face. Thanks again for the great question, Jade x

How to beat Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance circulating in the blood which is needed in moderation, but too much can lead to blocked arteries so try the following advice for help on lowering your cholesterol naturally. Cut down on saturated and trans fats This means cutting down on processed foods such as cakes, biscuits, pies, pastries, margarines, butter, cheese, meat products which raise cholesterol. Eat healthy fats Try poly-unsaturated fats from olive oil, olives, small handfuls of raw nuts and seeds. Occasional avocados, walnuts, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds are also good for your heart. Add oily fish Eat oily fish three times weekly (salmon, mackerel, sardines, fresh tuna, trout, herring/ kippers) to help lower blood triglyceride levels. This also helps prevent the blood from clotting, and helps to regulate the heart rhythm. Consume a high-fibre diet Foods high in ‘soluble fibre’ such as porridge, beans, pulses, lentils, nuts, fruits and vegetables, can help lower cholesterol. Try wheat-free grains such as rye, buckwheat, rice and oat cakes and wheat-free bread or crackers from your supermarket.

Increase fruit and vegetable intake Aim for at least five servings a day (a combination of fruit and vegetables, but mostly veg). A portion is equal to one apple or pear, two apricots or plums, three heaped tablespoons of vegetables, a dessert bowl of salad, or a glass of fruit juice (150ml). Fresh, frozen, tinned, dried and juiced fruit and vegetables all count towards your daily portions, but juice counts as a maximum of one portion a day. Cut down on alcohol No more than 14 units of alcohol a week (hopefully less). Substitute beer or wine with low sugar spirits like gin and vodka. Address your lifestyle If you are carrying excess weight then now’s the time to reduce it by following the advice above and exercising regularly. And smoking is a no no. Supplements • Garlic: 400-600mg of dried concentrate a day (tablets should be enteric-coated and each tablet should provide 400mcg allicin potential) • Vitamin E, 250mg twice daily •Vitamin C, 500mg twice daily • Psyllium husk powder, 1tbsp of powder dissolved in water or juice twice a day (drink at least eight glasses of water a day).

The Gaia Apothecary Qualified Medical Herbalist by Meg Glaister HERBS FOR CHILDREN CHICKEN POX AND MEASLES

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection which starts with a headache, tiredness and fever. The glands around the neck may be swollen and there may be some spots on the body, face, scalp or mouth. The worst thing a child can do is to scratch the spots, as this will leave scarring. Two baths a day containing a few drops of lavender essential oil and oats tied in a cloth and placed in the bath water will help cool the skin and relax the child. The cloth containing the oats can also be placed on the affected skin. Also an infusion of calendula can be applied to the skin and left to dry. Internally an infusion of 20gr Echinacea, 20gr burdock (bardana) and 20gr chamomile

(manzanilla) added to 600ml hot water and left to infuse for 15 minutes. Strain and give frequent sips throughout the day, up to a total of 150ml. This will help the child to fight the infection, bring down the fever and result in a comfortable sleep, which are all essential to recovery. Take for 10 days or until all signs of the infection have gone. Measles is also a very contagious infection. It starts with a runny nose and dry cough, followed by a slight fever, and is often accompanied by conjunctivitis. The child may have white spots in the mouth and the fever increases as the rash comes out, usually on the third or fourth day. The spots usually start behind the ears, on the face and the neck and then spread to the rest of the

Top Spring Foods For Weight Loss

juice or baked wrapped in parma ham.” With less than four calories per average spear, asparagus (which is also low in cholesterol and has zero fat) as part of a balanced diet will help weight loss. It’ll also make your urine smell, but we’re sure you can live with that.

Spring is here and all of a sudden the supermarket shelves and market stalls are alive with fresh, colourful produce. By happy chance, most of the foods that are at their best at this time of year are low in fat, high in vitamins and minerals and will therefore help you to shift pounds and arrive at summer looking your finest. Here we run through a list of the best spring foods for zapping your fat reserves. Watercress Delightfully zingy and peppery, watercress is also high in goodness and low in fat. Dietitian Cara Lewis says: “Like all dark green leafy vegetables, watercress is a rich source of a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that should feature in any healthy diet. It’s a particularly good source of carotene, a precursor to vitamin A which is also needed for healthy eyes, skin, bones and a strong immune system. Try watercress soup or adding to salads or sandwiches with fresh herbs.” Sugar snap peas Sweet and crunchy, chowing your way through a handful of sugar snap peas is a good way to satisfy hunger pangs and keep your calorie intake in check. Lewis says: “Another vegetable which is high in vitamins and minerals, sugar snaps are particularly rich in the B vitamin biotin. Eat them raw or steamed as a snack or a side dish, they’re great in stir fries with peppers, sesame seeds and a protein like meat or fish.” Asparagus Lewis says: “Asparagus is tasty steamed and drizzled with lemon

Rabbit Get childhood memories of Watership Down out of your head. Rabbit is often unfairly overlooked in favour of more mainstream meats, and it’s time to put an end to this prejudice. As well as being lip-smackingly flavoursome, rabbit is low in fat compared to other types of meat. Lewis says: “Rabbit is lean with a similar fat content to white meat. The fat content of cooked rabbit meat is approximately 3g per 100g, compared to 5-7g for chicken and 10g for lamb. Lean meat like this is also a great source of protein, which will help you stay fuller for longer, iron and B vitamins.” Spinach In addition to its long list of health benefits, including large doses of vitamins K, C, A, manganese, folate, iron and calcium, spinach is also rich in fibre, which is crucial for weight management. Lewis says: “Spinach and other leafy veggies like kale, cabbage and spring greens are not only low in calories, they are all excellent sources of fibre which keeps us feeling full, so we’re therefore less likely to overeat on other calorie-dense snacks.” Rhubarb We most commonly eat it in crumbles and other sugar-laced desserts to reduce the tartness of this vegetable (yes, it is a vegetable), but rhubarb, which is at its best

body. At this point the fever subsides. You need to support the body to throw off the infection and a sure way of doing this is with garlic capsules and infusions of Echinacea 20gr lime flowers (tila), 20gr and chamomile (manzanilla) add 600 ml hot water and leave to soak for 15 minutes; strain and drink 60 ml 3 or 4 times a day. If the child has at this time of year, also works brilliantly in savoury dishes (it’s great with lamb and duck, for example), where you can make the most of its fat-busting benefits. A good source of fibre, vitamin C and calcium, rhubarb also contains catechins, an antioxidant which, according to the University of Maryland Medical Centre, is thought to boost your body’s fat-burning abilities by speeding up your metabolism. Lamb Lamb may seem to be an odd choice, considering its fat content, but, like most meats, it has leaner cuts that are less destructive to your waistline. Plus, it’s an excellent source of B vitamins to give you energy, and iron.

Lamb is also high in protein, which we need for lean muscle growth and to help us feel fuller for longer. Lamb is, of course, available all year round but spring is when it’s at its best. Have it with fresh mint sauce and vegetables or try slow-cooking lamb shanks and serving with wholegrain rice and asparagus. Strawberries Just coming into season now, the berry season means it’s time to fill up on luscious fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, among others. Low in calories, strawberries contain 140% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin C (per one cup serving), as well as high levels of manganese and, most importantly of all, dietary fibre.

conjunctivitis you can bathe the eyes with an infusion of chamomile or calendula. Honey can be added to all of the above infusions. When there are any infections, I find that an oil burner with a few drops of lavender and/or eucalyptus oil in the water helps to purify the air and help the patient sleep. Head lice are very common in Tenerife, due to the hot weather. A very effective remedy for head lice is to use Tea Tree Oil. Put a few drops in water and rinse the hair. Leave on for as long as possible then comb through with a small toothed comb. Using 1 drop of tea tree oil every time you rinse the hair will keep head lice at bay. 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 649 529 703 or email gaiaapothecary@hotmail.com. Apricots Want to satisfy your sweet tooth without loading your system with sugar (thus putting an end to your plans to get rid of your belly for summer)? Try apricots, which, as their orangey/yellow hue suggests, are full of carotenoids, the phytonutrients that provide us with powerful antioxidant protection. Relaxing in the sun with a bowl of fresh, ripe apricots is the perfect way to say hello to the warmer months and goodbye to fat-laden foods. Romaine lettuce One of the most nutrient-rich varieties of lettuce, romaine is loaded with vitamin C and chromium, which helps to regulate our blood sugar levels, making it the perfect base for all the other gloriously healthy spring produce you are going to consume this year.

WILDE’S WORLD

Strange and quirky news stories from around the globe. I always try to get the stories and the facts right, but let’s face it, good research is the key to accurate journalism. It’s crucial to ensure that everything you publish is both true and compelling. That’s why newspapers show their commitment to accuracy by making

Last weekend saw the whole of the UK celebrating and joining in together with a neighbourly feel-good factor throughout the land, except for one overzealous traffic warden. T e n parking tickets w e r e s t u c k on a car parked in a hospital disabled bay, despite showing a blue disabled badge and a note saying the owner was in the operating theatre having emergency transplant surgery. The woman who has not been named parked her Mini in the disabled bay at the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, as she went for a kidney swap. But after an emergency she was forced to stay in hospital and was unable to drive her car away. The ten parking tickets - each with a £30 fine - were plastered across her windscreen; between 16th May till last weekend. Parking company officials were forced to back down after they were condemned by other patients over the coldhearted move.

Can’t Come In, You Look Too Good

A teenager was left heartbroken after she was stopped from going into a Disney theme park dressed as Tinkerbell. April Spielman had spent hours getting ready as the character to try and make her boyfriend’s first visit to Disney World memorable. While she dressed as the fairy Tinkerbell her boyfriend wore a Peter Pan costume. Spielman,15, was only allowed inside after she covered up her costume with a T-shirt. Officials told her they did not want visitors to be confused with a Tinkerbell character that poses for photos and signs autographs.

And finally

The 2,000 runners at the “Challenge for Peace”, who race through Rio de Janeiro, often run in costume. Paulo Henrique dos Santos had a simple idea for his: douse himself in green paint and race as the Incredible Hulk. So the 35-year-old dos Santos, a swimming pool cleaner by day and a funk singer by night, bought himself two buckets of body paint for $9 each. At least, that’s what he thought. After running Sunday’s race, dos Santos hopped in the shower and found, to his surprise, that the paint wouldn’t come off. It turned out that what he really bought was an industrial

the token gesture of employing an ever-dwindling number of sub-editors. But you’d expect the BBC to check the facts of any story though, wouldn’t you? Don’t bet on it. When discussing the worsening conflict in Syria, reporter Sophie Raworth should have been sat in front of a graphic of the UN logo, The rejection left Spielman in tears. She told WKMG news that she had been up since 4am to prepare her costume. “I didn’t want to take off the costume. But it ruined my dreams because I just want to be Tinkerbell.’ Spielman said she had worn the costume as she wanted to make her boyfriend’s first visit to Disney World, in Orlando, special and prepared for months so they could be the character’s from the film Peter Pan. ‘My makeup took two hours, my hair took another hour, and then I had to spray my body in glitter and paint my nails,’ she said. ‘They were talking about how it ruins little girls’ dreams. But it ruined my dream because I just wanted to be Tinkerbell.’

paint commonly used for painting ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines. “I wanted the same paint I used last year, when I also dressed as the Hulk for the race. But they didn’t have the brand and the salesman offered me this other one. I didn’t see the problem.” To remove the paint, dos Santos bathed himself 25 times, using progressively more aggressive cleaning agents: soap, shampoo, detergent and alcohol. His girlfriend and his neighbours helped scrub him with sponges and a toilet brush. More quirky news stories 12 till 3 every Saturday only on Coast FM.

but instead she was backed by the flag of the United Nations Space Command – from the video game Halo. Apparently Sky News have been quick to capitalise and are in talks with Sonic the Hedgehog to replace Eamonn Holmes on the morning shift. Well, he can’t be any worse, can he?..

Cheese rolling is back

It’s been two years since the annual Gloucester cheese rolling competition was banned on health and safety grounds. But yesterday hundreds took to Cooper’s Hill, at Brockworth for a rogue event. Hardcore thrill-seekers staged their own unofficial event after the world-famous Cheese Rolling was officially cancelled in 2010.Competitors took part in four races down the 1:2 gradient slope - three men’s’ races and a women’s - with the final men’s’ race held with a ‘’Jubilee cheese’’. Several hundred spectators watched as the athletes pursued the Double Gloucester cheese down 200 metres of slippery, wet grass, brambles and nettles. They slipped, somersaulted and tumbled their way to the bottom of the hill in spectacular fashion and the first person to grab the cheese won. Craig Fairley, 26, from Brockworth, won the Jubilee race while local champion cheese roller Chris Anderson, 24, won the two other adult male races. Lucy Townsend came out on top in the women’s race. Mr Fairley said he was not intending to take part this year and had been helping to catch people as they reached the bottom of the hill. ‘’I was at the bottom tackling and just thought why not have a go?’’ he said. ‘’I’ve won three cheeses. In 2006 I won one, 2008 I won one and now 2012 - and this is the Jubilee one. I don’t even like cheese.’’ The unusual event has been celebrated for centuries and is thought to have its roots in a heathen festival to celebrate the return of spring. But in 2009 more than 15,000 people turned up as spectators, causing safety concerns. The event was cancelled in 2010 and in 2011 it was halted after plans to charge £20 were met with protests.

Reflections Pt2 (written by my head, revised by my heart!) What an article this was going to be this week: full of fire, gusto, opinions and solutions debating the standards provided to the tourist sector by the entertainment industry. All about wage comparisons between the UK and the Canary Islands over the past 10 years, about respect; both mutual and self. Also criticism, both self and constructive. On my hot list; stage wear, timing, suitability, professionalism and more, but then this happened……… I remembered when I first came to the island, an extended invitation by a close friend to spend some time here in the very early stages of my divorce. he things I saw! Full bars, glittering handmade stage wear, punchy tight harmonies from well-rehearsed soloists and vocal groups alike. Razor sharp wit delivered with precision night after night. Free thinking, free speaking banter and a put down for every heckle imaginable. Every evening’s cabaret show better than the next. Charged with enthusiasm and immaculately polished. I was going to speak of the standards then and now, do we still provide everything the customer of 2002 demanded? Do we still demand the same of ourselves in 2012? My career here in Tenerife began a little over 3 hours after landing. A cover gig came in for my friend. Answering the phone, he said, “I can’t, I’m booked, but I know a man who can!” So that was it! That night I was to become a compere, I had only one question. What is a compere?

I since learned: he is the man who is funny, but not as funny as his comedians, sings, but not as well as his cabaret. He is the man who learns as many second best songs as he can, leaving the best for his acts or karaoke singers. He is the man that paves the way so his star shows shine a little brighter than he does, yet he remains entertaining, funny and gives the people exactly what they want! Oh, that’s all then! I did three nights on the bounce with my handful of songs and a repertoire full of bitter anecdotes about the soon to be ex-wife. I was fast, funny and sharp. Armed with a recently ex relationship, I was full of comebacks just waiting to be unleashed. My forth night of work here was at the bar St Eugens, I had no idea of the significance of this bar, or the person’s shoes I was filling that night. I didn’t need to know, I had 3 nights under my belt, and I was a compere! I arrived early, with my 2 CD’s, my 4 songs and got ready to ‘hit’ the stage. I had forty minutes to fill before the first cabaret, a noted entertainer on the island then. After that, two fifteen minute spots of continuity. The expression “fail to prepare, prepare to fail” couldn’t have come crashing down harder……….. I sang my songs, I told my jokes, I put in my CD’s and the CD player went off!! ‘No music! Not to panic’, only ten minutes before the cabaret, the place was full. Then a piece of paper arrived on the stage, ‘The cabaret has had to CANCEL’. I had one hour and five minutes to fill with no more songs, no karaoke and no music, just me, a microphone, and whatever came out of my mouth. I couldn’t tell you what I said, what I did,

By Dave Michaels who I dragged onto the stage or how I filled the time…. But I did…… I just did the best I could, and as it turned out, successfully! I left the stage physically shaking but ‘knowing’ this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! Since that day I have learned a lot more songs, enough to knock out a soul tune, but I’m no soul singer, enough to gruffle my way through a rock song, but I’m no rocker. I have washed my wigs, ironed my stage wear and polished my shoes. Written my jokes and delivered them with timing. Sometimes combining seven or eight songs as a ‘middle of the evening’ ‘performance piece’ dressed as Elvis, a rock hero, or alike. So when I was asked to once again cover St Eugens for a month, I thought, (almost a decade on) I now have the experience to deal with most things (except humility, it would seem). Would you believe over the course of a week, my songs erased from the computer, the karaoke ceased to function, two cabarets away on holiday and I lost my voice though a chest infection. All week I have battled on, fighting these obstacles, looking for the former arrogance of youth that made me believe I could fill these mighty shoes again. And all week, I seem to have, been weighed, been measured, and been found wanting. Again, and again! It was only after looking at the 500th disappointed face, asking ‘why Mike wasn’t there’ then turning away without even giving me a go….. And after peeling off my final layer of thick skin that I realised I am all

I can be. Somebody thought that was enough. Somebody had faith in what I can do. I am nobody else, I am just Dave Michaels, and all I can do is be the best me that I can be! No one can do me better. I am here to entertain! I love to entertain! So tomorrow I shall polish my shoes, press my trousers, get back on the horse, and be ME for all I’m worth! As for critique: Sparkling lights of the past always shine brightest and memories, brighter still; they are there to guide us forward. So maybe we don’t all have handmade costumes, maybe not every harmony is spot on and sometimes we mess up the occasional dance steps. (N.B although the people who do earn the most money, re-invest the most back into their shows, both in time, costumes, re-invention and rehearsal……food for thought eh!). My advice: get out there and entertain! You do it because you love it! teve the electrician, back in Blighty, might get to gig on a Friday and Saturday with his fellow part time band mates, for 3 times the money we earn (and the rest…..) In a club 100 miles from home, But we get to do it EVERY NIGHT!!! So do what you love! What I finally remembered, after wallowing in self-pity, self-doubt, and huge self-confidence issues this week was simply this! I’m Just me, but I am the best damn me there is, and I will never forget it again!! Special thanks to Kerry this week for an ear to bend and a smile to share x

I left my violent husband 4 years ago and I’ve been happy ever since. I’ve even met a new man through my dance class. Since we started seeing each other, my daughter has refused to talk to him and is really upset with me. She saw the trauma that I went through with her dad so I have no idea why she can’t be happy for me to be happy for once. Ann-Marie

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

First of all, well done for making the break Ann-Marie many people never escape from domestic violence. As far as your daughter goes, I think she’s bound to protective of her mum regardless of the past. You need sit her down and explain that you do need companionship. Its all very well for her to try to disrupt the relationship but she’s not the one who is lonely is she? Having said that, using some diplomacy and tact, accepting a new man into her life and yours clearly isn’t something she’s going to do overnight. Planning days out and activities that help you all get to know each other better would be a good first step in breaking the ice and showing your daughter that your man is one of the good guys. Ultimately, time and patience will pay off as opposed to fuelling the fire with confrontations and arguments. Take it easy and keep your wits about you and eventually, I’m sure things will settle down.

had lots of operations to correct this and he is also severely asthmatic. I think he might now be being bullied at school. I’m so worried about him and wish that I could have given him a better start to life. I feel so guilty that he is not happy. Paula

Letting your guilt consume you is only going to make matters worse for both you and your son Paula. I know the lad hasn’t had the best start in life but I think you underestimate the power a mothers love and support has. You didn’t cause any of these problems and your son knows that. Why waste time agonising over

something you just can’t change? Do everything the doctors tell you to do and encourage your boy to socialise and make friends. You’ll be amazed at the difference a positive attitude makes, honestly. As far the bullying goes, it’s completely unacceptable and you must talk to the school and let them know your concerns. Bullying these days is seen, quite rightly, as a huge issue. Above all, try to stop worrying because right now, that’s becoming a far bigger problem than anything else. Good luck with this.

‘Job woes’

I’m a masseuse and four weeks ago a client complained that I had been unprofessional at work. I’m so upset by this and my boss has suspended me until she investigates it. I’m living close to the breadline already and can’t afford not to work. Lynsey

Aside from telling your side of the story and trusting your boss to see that you did no wrong, I don’t think you can do much about this Lynsey. It’s a two-way street, isn’t it? You deserve a fair hearing and the client deserves to have their complaint investigated. I know your short of cash and can’t afford to lose your job but you simply hurry this along. I assume that you’re being paid whilst on suspension? If that’s not the case then it’s definitely time to seek legal advice to see where you stand. Your first port of call in the UK should be your local Citizens Advice Bureau where you’ll find masses of information and advice on employment law.

Hopefully, waiting this one out will prove to be the best option as the truth usually wins the day. Try not worry too much, whatever happens, it won’t be the end of the world.

Tenerife Weekly - 8th June - 14th June 2012 PSYCHE / HOROSCOPES / LOCAL INFO

Mind, Body AndwithSpirit Liana Mẽ Aly Ah

• International Intuitive • Life Enhancement Coach • Spiritual Mentor

The more I speak to people the more I am aware that they are fearful.

Fearful of not having enough money, fearful of relationship problems. Fear raises lack of trust issues; trust in your own ability to feel and believe what you feel is real, and right for you. Yes, you may be seriously challenged financially or personally, but it’s all just an illusion. If you are having your buttons pushed then it’s about YOU. It’s about what is eating you inside. You may not be aware of what it is, or you may, but if you have feelings of anger, or jealousy, or greed, which control you sometimes, then at the base of all these emotions is FEAR. Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real! The universe puts in front of us, situations and people, to help us grow at a Soul level. So, if you are constantly finding yourself angry, then the anger is in you to be released. In a conversation with a young couple at a bar a few weekends back this young man told me “she always makes me angry”. That statement is shifting the blame, what he really means is that she is pushing his buttons in a timely reminder to DEAL WITH IT. Now more than ever, people are being pushed to the limit with recurring emotions, so they can let go and finally be free of the demons in their heads. It’s a time to find the peace and love that you are, and if you can’t find it in yourself, how can you find it with another? So its time to look at yourself and go inside and say to

yourself: why am I so angry, jealous etc? And find your fear. Fear is not real, it’s just a collection of thoughts, of memories or imagined futures that you choose to believe in, so in reality what is there to let go of? Bringing yourself into the Now moment, and staying there is the best way to deal with fear, after you have let go of the energetic imprint of it in your many energetic layers. Every time a fearful thought comes into your head it’s usually about what has happened to you, or what you think might happen, so why waste time about what you can’t change? You can’t change the past and you can only create the future, and by filling it with fear based thoughts you are going to create the very thing you don’t want. There is a way to find the fear held in your body and process it once and for all. If you work at this you will find that the buttons you get pushed are less, and also less intense, and little by little you realise you have no buttons. Great, you have done the work. You have let go of fear from your system and now you are ready to enjoy life with peace and love in your heart. You will find that you do not judge people so often and that feelings of jealousy and greed and fear are just not in your remit. I work on many energetic levels with people in a confidential way and can work with you, to release fear from your energy bodies.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19 The week gets off to a dramatic start with a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius and your travel and adventure zone. The pace of events could accelerate, forcing you to make a few decisions. Maybe travel is in the cards, or a chance to study a subject you adore. Wait until things have settled down before you go ahead. Taurus Apr 20 - May 20 Your finances seem to be very busy this week. You may have been reviewing your skills and market value, and perhaps working on a budget, too. Creating lines of communication with customers, your bank, business associates, and anyone else you’re financially involved with could be important. Gemini May 21 - June 20 You can’t get away from meeting, mixing, and connecting with others. This is something you love to do and you’re good at. Things heat up even more in the relationship stakes with a Lunar Eclipse in your partnership zone this week. Emotions may be running high. Cancer June 21 - July 22 A Lunar Eclipse in your lifestyle zone could coincide with events at work that shake up your daily routine or perhaps health issues that could have a similar effect. Whatever occurs may have been going on beneath the surface for some time, but you might have missed the signals. If you feel more tired or symptoms occur, get checked out.

Leo July 23 - Aug 22 Get ready for a shakeup as a Lunar Eclipse takes place in your romance and creativity zone. Your social life is currently very lively, and the chances are good that you may fall in love. But you need to be extra careful about jumping into any relationship at this time. Wait a week or so before you get too involved. Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22 Get ready for a shakeup on the home front combined with plenty of emotion. The Lunar Eclipse could bring a family issue out into the open. If you need to make a decision, it might be better to wait until the dust has settled and then talk things over with other family members. Career issues could also be at the crux of this. Libra Sept 23 - Oct 22 The way you say it can make a difference this week, especially as you have a Lunar Eclipse in your communication zone. Expect a message, or even inspired thought or idea that could be enlightening as well as quite emotional. You could get into a conversation that brings up a lot intense feelings. Don’t do anything on the spur of the moment if you can help it. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 Money could be a hot topic when a Lunar Eclipse early in the week brings up a lot of emotion around this subject. You may need to hold a discussion with your partner or bank manager about the state of your finances. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad. They could be fine but still need some attention.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 Hold onto your hat this week as you enter the Eclipse zone. A Lunar Eclipse in your sign suggests that events may push you to take action sooner rather than later on certain issues. If you feel emotional, then try not to rush into making important decisions. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 You may find yourself in the position of helping others who need your advice. The Lunar Eclipse early this week takes place in your spiritual zone, encouraging you to share your life philosophy with those who may need it. Your dreams may be particularly powerful, so keep an eye on them. Aquarius Jan 19 - Feb 18 A Lunar Eclipse could have a powerful effect on your social life. Don’t be surprised if feelings come spilling out into the open. Friends may come and go, and this may not necessarily be related to anything that you do or don’t do. It could all be a question of timing. Later in the week Mercury moves into Cancer and highlights your lifestyle zone. Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 Career issues could come into focus as events cause you to rethink your current path and goals. A Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius could bring news that you’re getting a promotion or perhaps that a contract needs renewing or has ended. Whatever the issue, this is your chance to celebrate all that you’ve achieved and be willing to be open to new ideas and prospects.

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.

Would you know what to do if your pet got injured?

This week has been an interesting one, for many reasons, but it really got topped off on Friday when I was at a friend’s house and the events of what followed lead me on to writing this week’s article. All was well and her dogs were all playing about quite happily when something happened and one of them slipped. As she did so, her front leg splayed, a whimper escaping her as it did. With that, the little dog flopped down lifelessly and urinated herself. I acted quickly and calmly with the appropriate methods and this is what I want to pass on, so that should your own pet require first aid, you will be in a position to deal with the situation while you await professional help. Immediately after the dog collapsed I began massaging her heart by putting my thumb on one side of the rib cage and my fingers

on the other, between the front legs. As I massaged I instructed my friend to talk to the patient as her eyes began to open, once again. I blew air around her face to keep her conscious and cool and as soon as she had regained enough strength I carried her outside to the garden and placed her on the ground. We continued to talk to her and in a very short amount of time she had got back onto her feet and was doing laps of the garden. A Vet trip was obviously necessary to ensure that all was well, and thankfully it was. The cause of what happened? As the dog slipped her front leg pulled hard to one side thus dislodging and indeed stopping her heart. The massaging re-started it with milliseconds in-between and the end result was one very confused, but alive and kicking, young dog. It really got me thinking, though. Every day our own dogs play, get

up to mischief, and generally act like dogs and the simplest of things can lead to the scariest of situations. Obviously the main thing to remember in any crisis is to remain calm. Count to ten if needs be – the time spent doing that will pale into insignificance compared to the damage that could be caused by panicking. If your pet stops breathing, use your hand to close their mouth and breath steady, timed puffs down their nostrils. If their heart has also stopped then massage it rhythmically and firmly as well. Talk to them. Regardless of what has happened, be it an RTA, a

Acción del Sol’s weekly news

There are 180 gorgeous dogs; of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds - all sat patiently waiting for someone to come along and choose them. A lot of the older, bigger dogs get passed by on a daily basis, whilst the cute little puppies are lucky enough to find new homes very quickly. Every dog is castrated, micro chipped, deflead, wormed, treated for heart worm, complete with their own passport and socialised ready to face its new life. Please do come and visit the refuge if you are looking to adopt a dog. Please remember, now the summer is on its way; never leave your dog in a parked car. The temperatures can reach over 150F (66C). Heat stroke or death can result. It is a common error to believe that leaving a window partly open will eliminate problems with heat. The common signs of heat stroke are: rapid panting, twitching muscles, hot skin, dazed look. If any of these occur you should seek veterinary assistance immediately. But you should first cool the dog by using cold water, either with towels soaked in cool (not cold) water, using a hose, or even a cool bath. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Ice packs or cool towels can be applied to

the dog’s chest, neck and head areas (only). You can give them sips of cool water or a few licks on ice cubes. A trip to the vet could save your dog’s life. Avoid walking or leaving your dog on hot surfaces such as pavements, asphalt or sand. These tend to reflect heat, and also may burn the paws. It is better to walk your dog in the morning or evenings to avoid the hottest parts of the day. 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

playing injury or poisoning, hearing a familiar voice allows them to have some association with something recognisable and focus in on it. If the incident has resulted in potentially fatal or serious injuries do not move them. If they are in the road, try to keep them safe from further injury until a vet can get to you with the necessary equipment. As I said, one of the main things is staying calm. It can be almost impossible to do this when it is your much loved best friend in need of help, but I cannot re-iterate enough; if just being there for them is all you are able to do then do it in such a way that you do not bring extra panic to the animal. Stroke them, talk to them and show them that you are by their side. This, in itself, is invaluable. I must add to this, however, that this doesn’t mean you should wrap them in cotton wool. The likelihood of anything happening is slim and what happened to my friend’s dog was such a rare occurrence that it could almost make record books!

Paws for Thought: A water turtle is in need of a new home after her companion sadly passed away. She is a few years old and measures approximately 9 – 10 inches long. Due to needing company her future residence will have at least one other water turtle present, so someone who currently has or is planning on getting other turtles would be her ideal owner. Please call on 628 859 973.

it down to the copy centre and give yourself a few to play with, sketch on, etc. If you are unsure of property lines or underground services this is a good step whether you are going to do the formal drawing or not. Now that initial walk-through comes into play. Those drainage problems, sight lines, recreation areas and the like, right down to where are we hiding the rubbish bins; all these things should be our next thoughts in the process (start with the drainage; it will be your first step in the actual work and should be a primary concern, then environmental issues, then people issues, and finally aesthetic concerns). All these factors will logically lead

back, a medium sized plant in the middle, and room for one or two perennials in the fore then you will be able to keep an interesting flow rather than a flat tableau of plant material (besides it gets rid of more lawn). The horizontal plane addressed, we now turn to the vertical. Plants on hillsides are generally not happy; they receive less water and sun due to their precarious location. Retaining walls help create more level ground and can also help address some of those drainage issues (Mediterranean plants like lavenders or thymes prefer a lot more drainage and are happier in a raised bed). Screening can be addressed by hardscape, but I generally like to use plants for that job; fences or walls can act in the same manner as a plane’s wing and actually increase wind speed behind the wall, while plants filter and slow the wind. Hardscape addresses lots of issues, but never forget that the plants are the stars of the garden. kindly submitted by Tim Fells

age, not bricks and lumber to forge into a static structure. I turn yet again to the Japanese model, where the designer usually did a quick 3D charcoal sketch of his vision for the space, which he modified to the clients wishes and used as a baseline to refer to, while the actual garden itself was crafted bit by bit, adjusting the different elements to fit as the landscape progressed. It allows for more latitude in the process as unforeseen challenges or changes in concept arise without having to redesign the whole plan; most importantly to my mind is the reduction in time and cost in the less formal design. Any lack of precision (not a high priority in the garden) is offset by

us into our next step, hardscape. Details of your landscape design plan Figuring out the traffic flow will automatically place drives and paths, which in turn will help delineate areas for beds and borders. I am often thwarted by the ugly habit builders have (it’s that blueprint mentality) of putting squared corners and parallel lines in paths and drives; often these leave 2’ wide borders that are tragically hard to do any sort of meaningful design for (not wide enough for a shrub, maybe one decent perennial or two small ones). Gertrude Jekyll, that Queen of the English Cottage Garden, opined that less than an 8’ border was virtually useless; I think we can find some smaller plants to make that 4’ space work but Gerty, as usual, is mostly correct. Make those beds as deep as possible; I like curves rather than straight lines so the depth varies, but you get the idea. If there is space for a large perennial or shrub in the

the handcrafting of the landscape to fit the space; a more artisan approach is something I find more appropriate to the garden anyway. Should you remain married to the idea of a blueprint for your garden; a quick trip to the town hall (ayuntamiento) will furnish you with a copy of your site plan, complete with notations on property lines, sewer, water, compass heading and other key features. You can draw out your plans right on this copy or take

1. George Lucas 2. Calculus 3. Tom Cruise 4. Northern Territory 5. Zanzibar 6. Big words

Planning a garden to fit your lifestyle While it seemed like a really great idea at the time to design your own re-creation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in hindsight it’s a little more time consuming than you’d envisioned… Don’t fall prey to this all too common mistake. We often start with grand plans of all the time we will be spending in our new garden without realistically assessing how much time we are ABLE to spend there; by the time the kids have gotten to ballet/football/ karate, the dog has gotten to the groomer, and you have completed cooking/laundry/vacuuming/ surfing the web, how much time is truly left? Suddenly that formal rose garden is less of a joy and more of a chore. By realistically looking at your lifestyle you will be able to determine how much time in a week you can spend gardening. If you are retired you have more time to devote and more elaborate plantings and features are possible. But if you are anything like me you will find that “low maintenance” is a key part of the design criteria. Suddenly that mini-orchard or pond and stream don’t make as much sense as it did a minute a go. Being brutally realistic here will pay off in pleasure vs. pain later… Laying out the groundwork for our landscape Drawing: Do we need a formal plan for exact measurement? Will a sketch do? Existing challenges: Are there issues the plan needs to address? (Light, drainage, soil conditions, etc. Hardscape: Are we adding walls? Patios? Walkways? Drainage? Fences? Plantings: What are we trying to achieve? Are there specific plants we want to use? What plants will relate best to the existing structures and hardscape? How much maintenance are we willing to give the garden? Is the plant hardy? Will it tolerate our soil?

(diseases, insects, moisture, wind, pets, kids…) Is it the right size plant? The right shape? Garden Design Plans We have become married to the idea of an elaborate drawing as part of the design process. The idea of landscape as a part of architecture has extended the idea of the blueprint into the garden space, despite the fact that these are living breathing organisms that will morph with

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

Any Old Port In A Storm

A friend of mine gave me a wonderful gift. It was a bottle of Grahams 1994 vintage port. I had put it on one side for the Jubilee Celebrations. This port usually sells in the UK for around 70 quid a bottle. I looked on the internet for details of the port and I found that it is the best vintage in the last 25 years. As it is a vintage port, it has to be stood upright for about five hours before decanting to ensure that the sediments have had time to settle on the bottom of the bottle. I removed the foil top off the bottle very carefully and inserted the corkscrew and

gently started to take the cork out of the bottle. It broke! I tried to get the other half of the cork out and it had rotted. In the end I gave up and shoved the rest of the cork into the bottle in desperate frustration. I ended up using a muslin filter and pouring it into a measuring jug before decanting it. Sometimes, I think “posh” is wasted on me. I have to say though, that this was the most wonderful glass of port that I have ever tasted. I toasted the Queen, drank it and went to bed feeling frustrated, but all warm inside.

The Jubilee is all over now and the next party will probably be when she has become the longest serving Monarch, which will happen in September 2015. The thing about the British is that they love a big party almost as much as the like a good moan. Any excuse to roll out the sandwiches and beer for a few hours. I have heard mad mutterings about the waste of money and about how it should have been spent on helping the economy. These people obviously have absolutely no idea about how an economy works. The mere fact that millions of people have been buying decorations, fancy dress costumes, special food, renting tents and

tables, buying drink and running special events over the last week will probably have given a bigger boost to our economy than anything that the government could have come up with. I bet these AntiJubilee people weren’t whinging and whining when they were given an extra bank holiday. Oh No! I can just see them refusing to take an extra day off.

Watch Out - You’re On Candid Camera

Doctor Doctor

Until The Next Royal Party

The scheme that was tried out in La Laguna is now hitting the streets of Santa Cruz too. There are now cameras on many of the traffic lights throughout the city. If you go through a red light, you will be caught. Remember that amber is really stop. So instead of trying to beat the lights, it might be a good idea to slow down and be patient. (Cursing is, of course, obligatory).

GET A GRIP AND STOP BLOODY MOANING!

I woke up one day this week with my left eye completely closed and sore. I am not one for going to the doctor and would rather let things heal naturally. By 3 o clock I still had one eye and I was about to start getting ready for the evening’s show at Vivo. I went to the local doctor and was seen very quickly. He took a look at my eye and exclaimed “Madre Mia”. Oh the confidence that they instil in us is incomparable. After an injection and a couple of prescriptions, the eye opened an hour later and I set off for work. Good job I work at Treasure Island, at least I can wear an eye patch without anyone batting an eyelid!!!

Where’s Me Keys?

I went to the garage for fuel. I unlocked the petrol cap and put it with my keys on the side. After filling the tank with petrol, I put the nozzle back in its place and turned to pick up my keys. They weren’t there. They had gone and so had my petrol cap. I looked in astonishment at the spot where they had been. I then started to doubt myself; maybe I had put them in the car? No! Then it dawned on me that the surface that I had put them on was a flat flap bin for rubbish. When I turned round, the flap had opened and my keys had dropped inside. It took me about quarter of an hour to realise.

Welcome to Karoline’s Kitchen Since starting this column many people have asked me if I changed my name to Karoline with a K just to match the word Kitchen. Well the answer is NO. My parents christened me Karoline with a ‘K’ and I absolutely love it. I have had the burden for the whole of my life: having to correct people when they write my name down as they automatically spell it with a ‘C’.

So this got me thinking about this week’s recipes and I have chosen some great dishes, all with a girl’s name in the title. And for some reason they all appear to be pudding recipes, just like the famous song: what are little girls made of - “sugar and spice and all things nice!”

Enjoy these lovely tasty treats.

Lemon Charlotte Russe

18 sponge fingers 1 packet gelatine ½ cup lemon juice 4 eggs, separated ¼ tsp. salt 1 lemon peel grated 1 cup whipping cream, whipped 1 cup caster sugar Line the bottom and sides of a loosebottomed baking tin with sponge fingers. Soften gelatine in lemon juice. With electric mixer, beat egg yolks well with 1/2 cup of sugar, and salt. Gradually beat in gelatine mixture. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to thicken, about 10

For the topping

75g/3oz butter 100g caster sugar 100g self-raising flour 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 tbsp boiling water Preheat the oven to 180C/350/Gas 4. Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Add the apples to a saucepan with the lemon

Something Fishy Going On Here!!!

Often, when I am asked for recipes, it is usually for meat or chicken; as so many people are afraid of fish. I Love fish; it is so diverse and, kept simple, can make a pleasant healthy change to your diet, My starter is one we use on our Wednesday special, and the main course is an old classic, followed by a dish Suzanne, our waitress says “It’s to die for “ (Thanks Sue). I hope you enjoy them. If you have any trouble with any dished please e-mail me through www.casatrestenerife.com And I also welcome any feedback. Happy cooking

Nikon D3200 Review

The Nikon D3200 is an entry-level DSLR with a friendly guide mode - ideal for fledgling shutterbugs that don’t know their aperture from their ISO. Following on from its predecessor, the Nikon D3100, though not replacing it, the brand new Nikon D3200 has upped the ante for entry-level DSLRs, thanks to its showstopping 24-megapixel sensor. Going up against the likes of the Sony Alpha A65 and the Canon EOS 600D, the Nikon D3200 has got its work cut out when it comes to earning a place in our Best Digital SLRs list. The D3200’s lightweight chassis, which hasn’t changed much in design terms since the previous model, weighs in at just 505g (with battery and memory card) which means that it never becomes cumbersome, even after carting it around all day. At 125 x 96 x 76.5 mm, the chassis isn’t too chunky, but still remains reassuringly sturdy, and while Nikon makes no claims about waterproofing, the D3200 proved to be reasonably resilient to the elements tested it in the pouring rain. The D3200 is available in conventional black or a shiny red finish, should you be so inclined. One of the key selling points on the new snapper is the guide mode. Enhanced since its inclusion on the D3100, this nifty feature is easily accessible via the top-mounted dial and holds your hand through the basics. Teaching you how to set up a variety of shots, it even includes examples of how the pictures should look. For example, one of the tutorials shows

you how to get the best picture of a sunset by tweaking the white balance to capture the red tones. Follow the suggestions, alter the settings and the picture will change to reflect how the finished article will look. There may be a few kinks to iron out (such as the overeager pop-up flash), but it’s a damn good starting point for newbies. Controls Controls haven’t changed too much since the previous model, so you’ll get the familiar top-mounted dial which is easy to use, but sturdy enough that it won’t get knocked onto a different setting while at rest in your bag. There are a couple of additions including the Live View button that lets you switch easily between the viewfinder and the LCD, making things a little more familiar for those stepping up from a compact. What’s more, there’s now a dedicated video button so that you won’t have to waste time wading through seemingly endless menus for fast movie capture. Screen The 3-inch (7.5cm) LCD sports an improved 921k-dot resolution which offers sharp images and a decent viewing angle. It might have been a nice touch to include an adjustable screen for shooting at awkward angles, but it’s certainly not a deal-breaker. Also, the colour reproduction on the screen wasn’t the best, so it’s not always possible to get an entirely realistic idea of how your final image will look, in terms of tones. Battery The D3200 comes with an EN-EL14 rechargeable Li-ion battery which will give

you up to 540 shots, says Nikon. Picture quality The powerful 24-megapixel sensor is great news for beginners as the top-notch picture quality means there’s plenty of scope for cropping with minimal loss of detail, so even if you’re framing has gone awry you should still be able to get good results. There are also plenty of options for in-camera editing, such as straightening up wonky horizons, which is ideal for those learning the ropes. The 11-point auto focus hasn’t changed since previous models, although you can choose the AF point yourself (or just sit back and the let the camera do the work). As you’d expect from the 24-megapixel sensor, not to mention the Expeed 3 processor that can be found on the brand’s flagship models such as the Nikon D4, picture quality is superb, particularly for a starter-level snapper, while image noise is really only noticeable when the ISO setting

is whacked up to full. Video For wannabe movie makers, the D3200 offers a strong video performance, capturing 1080p footage at up to 30fps. What’s more, there’s an external microphone input so you won’t be plagued by pesky motor sounds picked up by the on-board mic - a small touch but something that’s not available as standard on all rival models. Verdict The Nikon D3200 is a little on the pricey side, almost edging it into the mid-range, but great if you’re a DLSR beginner looking for a friendly camera that offers stunning picture quality. It’s very slightly let down by the quality of the LCD screen, but there’s little else to complain about here. This is one of the best beginner DSLRs around with stunning picture quality and a friendly guide mode.

Retro Corner: ‘Diablo’ ‘Death Rally’ Reaches 10m App Store Downloads

Blizzard Entertainment released one of the most anticipated PC titles in recent memory last week with the launch of Diablo 3. The Warcraft studio’s dark fantasy series single-handedly popularised the dungeon crawler subgenre, so we’re taking a trip back to 1996, where it all began. The original Diablo touched down on PCs in December of that year, introducing players to the world of Sanctuary. Most RPGs released around that time were stat-heavy affairs, where number-crunching was the order of the day, but Blizzard’s opus took a different approach. Diablo offered a stripped down role-playing experience, where the emphasis was on relatively simple combat and looting. It was a formula that caught on quickly, striking a chord with fantasy fans looking for a more palatable alternative to complex talent trees and turn-based fighting. The game was set in a world that combined the work of JRR Tolkien and Dante Alighieri, with the object being to hack your way through 16 dungeons before storming the bowels of hell and taking out the Lord of Terror himself, Diablo. Gameplay was inspired by the age-old Angband, taking place from a top-down perspective and using a simple and intuitive

control scheme. Character movement and attacks were carried out through mouse clicks, while spells and abilities could be mapped to keyboard shortcuts. A glance over at Diablo 3 shows how little has changed in a decade and a half. Blizzard enlisted the help of Sierra Entertainment to expand the game in 1997 with the release of the Hellfire add-on, which introduced the new character classes of Monk and Bard (though the latter was a hidden extra). New dungeons, items and spells were also thrown into the mix. Diablo was ported to the Sony PlayStation the following year, published by Electronic Arts. The console edition was unable to support online play, but added two-player co-op as an attempt at a compromise. EA’s port also attracted a level of infamy among players for demanding 10 out of the 15 slots on a standard memory card. Diablo’s award-winning combination of addictive combat, looting and hoarding remains a winner today, and has been imitated a great deal since. The game’s sequels have never strayed far from its blueprint and have garnered much the same level of acclaim. The years have been kind to this one, and we certainly recommend picking it up as a companion piece to the excellent Diablo 3.

Death Rally has seen more than 10 million downloads since it was released on the App Store. Developer, Remedy Entertainment, also announced that the iOS remake has hosted more than 100 million play sessions since it was ported to the platform in March, GI.biz reports. “We’re thrilled at Death Rally’s numbers. 10 million downloads and 100 million play sessions is a great milestone,” said Remedy CEO Matias Myllyrinne. Senior vice president Aki ‘AJ’ Järvilehto added: “We can only smile when we think

about all of the cars destroyed and bullets fired.” Death Rally, originally released for PC in 1996, sees players take part in deadly races for money and complete perilous missions. It was distributed as freeware in 2009. Death Rally is also available to purchase for Android devices.

Homer Simpson Most Downloaded Satnav Voice

Homer Simpson has entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the most downloaded character voice for GPS personal navigation devices in history. The original Homer Simpson GPS voice was launched in June 2009, developed by Locutio Voice Technologies in partnership with The Gracie Films Worldwide Brand Division and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products (FCP). The voice, provided by Dan Castellaneta, was later released on GPS systems from market leader TomTom, including an iPhone mobile app in April 2011. To date, the Homer Simpson voice has outsold the nearest voice download competitor by three-to-one on Personal Navigation Device (PND) based GPS systems. It is also now in the

Guinness Book of World Records as the most popular satnav voice, after being downloaded for TomTom systems 128,500 times in the US - which accounts for 40% of the satnav market - since 2009. After the success of Homer Simpson satnavs, FCP has brought more Simpsons character voices to TomTom navigation systems, including Mr. Burns and Marge Simpson. FCP managing director Carl Lumbard said: “We’re embarking on an ambitious and exciting voice expansion programme for mobile phone and PND based GPS. “The Simpsons continues to break new ground and open up new fronts in the consumer technology space and these pioneering products reflect the brand’s ongoing relevance today.”

2012 Smart fortwo - Review

Interior / Exterior On the street or in traffic, the 2012 Smart Fortwo appears to be almost as wide as it is long, and appears slabsided. It’s taller than other minicars or subcompacts, and it looks its shortest from the side, when its non-existent nose is most obvious. A silver or black slash outlines the structure of the car, starting at the windscreen post, running along and roof rail and down the thick rear pillar to the doorsill. The contrast outlines the opening of the long doors, and draws attention to the tiny car-both the positive and the negative kinds. There are two models of 2012 Smart Fortwo: a two-door fixed-roof coupe, and a Cabriolet with a pair of removable roof panels that give the wind-in-the-hair experience while retaining the structural integrity of the base vehicle. The Cabriolet uses removable roof bars that stow neatly in a compartment in the boot, making them the modern-day equivalent of 1970s T-tops. Smart has discontinued its most aggressive Brabus model, but a number of its appearance features-including larger 15-inch alloy wheelscan be ordered as options. Several of them are bundled together in the Style Package, which includes six-spoke alloy wheels, body panels in a choice of metallic colours, and fog lamps. Inside, the dashboard was restyled last year, bringing the Fortwo from the late 1990s into the current decade with some matte metallic finishes, an updated steering wheel design, and new shapes for the dash and door trims. You’ll still not mistake the Fortwo for a luxury car by any stretch of the imagination. Performance The 2012 Smart Fortwo offers just one powertrain, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine developing 70 horsepower that transmits its power through a five-speed automated manual transmission. At city speeds (40 mph or below), the little Smart is easy to toss around town-not to mention park in the tiniest imaginable spaces. Around town, the engine feels peppy and the shifts keep the engine in its power zone. The tight steering ratio lets you hustle the Fortwo around corners and from lane to lane as fast as any other motor vehicle on four wheels. The transmission may be the least pleasant one of in any production car, however. It shifts abruptly, and without an experienced foot modulating the acceleration, the car slams back and forth on its short wheelbase as power is suddenly cut and then restored. And acceleration times revert to the performance of economic cars from the 1980s. The 0-to60-mph sprint takes an agonising 13 seconds, for instance. At speed, however, the Smart’s advantages in cities work against it in motorway travel. The short length, quick steering, and minimal wheelbase create a busy, choppy, twitchy

ride, and there’s not a lot of power left for emergency manoeuvres. The Smart Fortwo is also susceptible to crosswinds, as well as ruts in the road and potholes and bumps. If you’re at the wheel doing 120 Km/h and get sandwiched between two trucks, you’d better bring a brave heart and great confidence in the Smart’s crash-test results. Overall, you have to prioritise the Fortwo’s tiny dimensions over its ride comfort, slowness, and decent, but unexceptional petrol mileage ratings. If you want a balance among all of those factors, the 2012 Smart may not be worth the sacrifices you have to make. Quality Despite last year’s dashboard update, the 2012 Smart Fortwo feels basic and plasticky inside-more like a small pickup truck than an urban cruiser. The accommodations for two people are lavish, with ample headroom for even those occupants well over 6 feet tall, and good legroom too. Drivers with broad shoulders may find themselves touching their passenger, however, due to the narrow cabin. Both driver and passenger sit in upright position, on rather short seats, and the steering wheel is more horizontal than in other vehicles. That gives the Smart an odd buslike driving position, though it’s the world’s shortest bus. Cargo space behind the seats is very small, holding perhaps only three upright shopping bags. And to be able to fold down the passenger seat for more cargo space, you’ll have to specify a folding passenger seat as an option. At motorway speeds, conversation is all but drowned out by road noise and engine howl, and the low-output sound system doesn’t do much to overcome the roar. Add the Smart’s busy, pitchy ride, its susceptibility to sidewinds, and you’re looking at a car that embodies the opposite of refinement. Safety It may be tiny, but the 2012 Smart Fortwo has

eight airbags fitted as standard equipment, despite having only two seating positions. It also includes the usual suite of electronic safety systems, including anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. The result is that despite its diminutive proportions, the Smart Fortwo does OK in safety ratings. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the Smart its top “Good” rating for frontal offset, side impact, and roof strength test results, though the rear crash protection is down one notch to “Acceptable.” While the maker touts occupant protection equivalent to that of larger vehicles, provided by the “Tridion” safety-cell construction, the IIHS tested that theory by setting up a frontal-offset crash between the larger, heavier Mercedes-Benz E-Class and a Smart Fortwo. The occupants of the smaller car didn’t fare particularly well in that situation.

actually provides these capabilities. Aside from last year’s interior restyle-including a lockable glovebox-standard equipment on the Smart Fortwo has remained largely the same for several years. The base trim level on the coupe is known as Pure, with the higher-end package called Passion. (Cabriolets only come in Passion trim.) The Pure level is so basic; it doesn’t even include a sound system. It does include keyless entry, a display showing the outside temperature, and a rear-window defroster. But we expect most buyers to pay for Passion, which adds better-looking alloy wheels, power windows, automatic climate control, and a panoramic roof. It also includes an AM/FM/CD sound system, though at speed you still won’t be able to hear much. The premium sound system kicks that up to four speakers, plus a subwoofer; it’s an option on Passion coupes, standard on the Cabriolet. Other options run the gamut, from cruise control and electric power steering-in our view, utterly superfluous-to air conditioning, heated seats, and fog lamps. There’s also a rain and darkness sensor to operate lights and wipers automatically. But power-operated locks and mirrors aren’t offered at all. Special editions always move a few more units, and Smart has its share, most of them offering equipment from the discontinued Brabus performance edition. They always come with special paint colours, and typically bundle a navigation system, higherperformance audio, and alloy wheels, among other features. Fuel Economy / MPG The 2012 Smart Fortwo ought to get 60 or 70 miles per hour, if you listen to bystanders. Its small size and tiny 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine would indicate that it gets better fuel economy than any other car. Right?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) hasn’t rated the Fortwo using its new, more stringent testing procedures. So the car is unrated for overall, frontal crash, or side crash tests. The agency does give the car a mediocre three out of five stars for rollover protection. Under the old rating system, the Fortwo achieved top five-star ratings for side impact but earned only three and four stars for frontal impact. On the positive side of the safety ledger, outward visibility is quite good. And, of course, parking the Smart car is ease personified. How vulnerable the driver and passenger feel at speed is a more personal question. Features It’s got style, which creates its own appeal, but the hip urban persona of the Smart isn’t matched by the level of equipment and features it offers. It’s more like an earlyNineties economy car, with a mediocre audio system and unimpressive appointments. At least the owner’s smartphone can now help fill some of the gap. Last year, Smart integrated Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, navigation, and Internet radio into the carthough it requires a special cradle, installed at the dealer, to hold the smartphone that

Not so much. The EPA rates both coupe and cabriolet models of the Smart Fortwo at 34 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, giving a combined rating of 36 mph. That’s lower than most Toyota and Honda hybrids, though they’re admittedly pricier. But it’s also little better than a number of compact and subcompact models with four doors, four or five seats, and a far more pleasant driving and travel experience-which are relatively close to the price of a Fortwo. Worse yet, the Smart’s little engine requires premium fuel. A few additional eco-features may tint the tiny Smart slightly greener: Its moulded plastic body panels have the colour baked in, meaning the cars don’t need to be painted. Several interior components are made of synthetic materials that can be entirely recycled. Smart offered an all-electric Fortwo Electric Drive model in 2011, but it’s unclear if the battery model-which had a low electric range and minimal performance-will be continued for 2012. THE BOTTOM LINE: The 2012 Smart Fortwo will draw more attention than some of the most striking luxury and supercars, most of it around its tiny 9-foot length.

Fine Start For Brits C o o k

Lizzie Simmonds and Andrew Willis both won gold as British swimmers enjoyed a successful first day of the Mare Nostrum meet in Canet-enRoussillon. Swimmers from the British Gas ITC teams, based in Loughborough and Bath, combined for seven medals in total, with Fran Halsall claiming two of them. Loughborough’s Simmonds came out on top in the 100 metres backstroke in a time of one minute 00.71 seconds. Willis then triumphed in the 200m breaststroke, the Bath swimmer touching first in 2min 12.66secs. Halsall had earlier recorded the first British medal of the day in the 50m freestyle, finishing second behind Sweden’s Therese Alshammer in 24.92secs, before taking a bronze in the 100m butterfly. Bath’s Chris Walker-Hebborn edged out

Mulls Legal Options

Loughborough’s Liam Tancock for the final place on the podium in the men’s 100m backstroke, finishing just over a second behind race winner Camille Lacourt of France. The remaining British medals went to Loughborough duo Caitlin McClatchey and Jo Jackson in the women’s 200m freestyle and 800m freestyle respectively.

Bankier Dares T o D r e a m

Badminton star Imogen Bankier admits to dreaming of stepping onto the podium to collect an Olympic medal in London this summer. Bankier will represent Great Britain together with Chris Adcock in the mixed doubles at the Games, after qualifying ahead of Olympic silver medallist Nathan Robertson and Jenny Wallwork. And the 24-year-old Scot, who won a silver medal at the World Championships at Wembley last August, believes she has a real chance of realising her dream this year - if the pair can find some consistency. “That’s what keeps you going every day,” she said. “That’s what I think about when I am training. I have been dreaming about it and I just hope we can put in the types of performances we know we will need to do to get into those medal positions. If you have a world silver medal - and we have since beaten the world champions twice - I would definitely say we are medal contenders. But we are ranked 10 in the world so that shows we haven’t been consistent this year. So I wouldn’t say it was

Aaron Cook’s management company say they will consider ‘all legal options’ in his battle to be selected for the Olympic team. British Taekwondo again refused to select the world number one on Wednesday, insisting Lutalo Muhammad should represent Team GB in the 80kg class. The British Olympic Association must ratify the selection and will meet again on Thursday to consider their next move. And Cook’s backers, Professional Sports Group, said the 21-year-old wrote to BOA chairman Lord Moynihan on Tuesday to complain about the selection process and his treatment in it. PSG chief executive Jamie Cunningham also said they were then given less than 24 hours’ notice to prepare for Wednesday’s meeting. They have not ruled out legal action and Cunningham claims it will be a “national disgrace” if the reigning European champion does not represent his country at London 2012. “Aaron is disappointed but not surprised by the recommendation by STUK’s (Sport Taekwondo UK) Selection Committee,” he said in a statement. “All the concerns that he expressed in a letter to Lord Moynihan were completely justified. It has been clearly demonstrated that the processes adopted by

STUK in the two other selection meetings held before yesterday were flawed. Nothing changed yesterday, particularly given that the same selectors were involved and took little consideration of objective facts and STUK’s own selection criteria events. We have appealed directly to the BOA not to ratify this flawed decision again. In the meantime, we are considering Aaron’s position including all his legal options. Aaron would like to thank the public and media for their support. This is an embarrassment not only for the sport of taekwondo internationally, but also for Great Britain’s international reputation in hosting the London 2012 Games. If the British world number one and reigning European champion does not compete it will be a national disgrace which the world’s media will highlight. We remain committed to overturning this flawed recommendation.”

McIlroy Happy To Be Playing

expected, but I would say we have a really good chance of a medal.” Bankier will be helped by her badminton hero Robertson, despite causing his retirement by ousting him from the Olympic team. Robertson, 35, is widely regarded as Britain’s greatest badminton player, and Bankier is hoping to tap into his knowledge and experience ahead of and during the games. “I genuinely think Nathan Robertson was one of the best players of all time,” she said. “I’m not ashamed to say he is my favourite player ever. His achievements have been absolutely outstanding. He has won everything beside Olympic gold. He’s won world championship gold and Olympic silver, he is just an outstanding player. It is

a shame that the way the Olympics work, only one pair can qualify. It would have been a fantastic end to his career. But we are competing against them and I am happy to say that we beat them twice at the end of his career. I just hope that now we can learn a lot from him. He has such a fantastic insight and knowledge of the game and I look forward to working with him a little bit and hoping to get some of his advice, I think it will be invaluable. He said he is really keen to help us which is absolutely fantastic. We have so much to learn and he has experience. He knows exactly what it is like at an Olympics and if he is willing to help then I just want to get all the help I can.”

“Let Referees Tackle Racists”

Uefa president Michel Platini said referees were empowered to halt matches temporarily, or abandon them, if racist abuse was directed at players from the crowd. Italy forward Mario Balotelli has vowed to leave the field if he is targeted, but Platini warned him, and every other player, not to do anything rash. He said: ‘We will certainly support the referee if he decided to stop the game. But it’s not a player, Mr Balotelli, who’s in charge of refereeing. The referee has been given advice and can stop the game if there are problems.’ Piara Power, executive director of Football Against Racism in Europe, who was also at the Uefa briefing, said: ‘There is no question we are more worried about racism at this tournament than at any other and it is good to know Mr

Platini understands what is going on.’ Racist behaviour by fans in Poland and Ukraine was shown in a BBC Panorama programme, but Platini said: ‘I don’t think there’s any more racism in Poland and Ukraine than in France or even England.’

An out-of-form Rory McIlroy hopes the decision to play at the St Jude Classic pays off before he begins the defence of his US Open title. The Northern Irishman doesn’t normally play competitively the week before a major, but has made an exception this time around due to his recent poor run. McIlroy has missed the cut at his last three events, including shooting a seven-over-par 79 in his second round at the Memorial in Ohio last Friday. “Getting here and playing the course this morning, and seeing how excited people are just to have us here, I’m really happy to be here,” he said after competing in the proam competition. “I’m happy to get another competitive tournament in before next week. It’ll be nice to turn around my form here this week and give myself a chance to win.” The 23-year-old admits that success in Memphis could lead to a permanent change in his schedule, adding: “If this week I play well

and go into the US Open feeling really good about my game and I play well there, it’s something that I might do in the future. But the main thing this week is to just get some more competitive golf in ... the last three tournaments I’ve played I’ve only played for two days and just haven’t really felt like I’ve gotten into the tournaments.” At least McIlroy made the most of his failure to qualify for the weekend at the Memorial - it allowed him to go to San Francisco and play some rounds at the Olympic Club - the venue for next week’s US Open. “I went out and played a little at Olympic on Saturday evening, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,” he said. “It was good to play a few rounds there and get a feel for the golf course. I did a lot of good work with my coach, Michael Bannon, right there in San Francisco. Even though it wasn’t the way I wanted to spend the weekend, I still felt I got a lot out of it.”

Haye-Chisora ‘Will Go Ahead’ Organisers of the controversial bout between David Haye and Dereck Chisora say the event will definitely go ahead on 14th July despite recent doubts over its viability. The grudge match was thrown into further doubt on Monday when the European Boxing Union confirmed they would expel the Luxembourg Boxing Federation, which is sanctioning the fight, if it went ahead. The bout has been backed by the LBF, as neither Haye nor Chisora, who were involved in a press conference brawl in Munich in February, hold a British licence. But despite the threat from the EBU, the LBF has voted in favour

of backing the bout by eight votes to four at a special general meeting in Luxembourg. “The vote of the 12 members was eight votes in favour and four votes against,” a statement released by Frank Warren Promotions read. -“Therefore the LBF is backing the show along with the World Boxing

Organisation (WBO) and the World Boxing Association (WBA), who’s International and Intercontinental titles will be contested, and the promotion will definitely go ahead.” Warren, who manages Chisora, insists the fight is legal and has said he intends to issue legal proceedings against the British Boxing Board of Control.

Rooney - England Can Win It C a r r

Wayne Rooney believes England are capable of winning Euro 2012 and is aware he is not guaranteed an instant return to Roy Hodgson’s starting line-up. England head into the European Championship with arguably the lowest level of expectation for many years, despite losing only twice in 17 games since the 2010 World Cup debacle. The appointment of Roy Hodgson as coach to replace Fabio Capello just weeks before the start of the tournament, combined with a lengthy injury list, has prompted hopes of success to be downplayed in many quarters. However, Rooney feels the 23-man squad at Hodgson’s disposal is capable of advancing deep into the competition and is expecting ‘big things’ in Poland and Ukraine. “We are trying and no-one should even think we are just turning up,” said Rooney. “Sometimes when you lose, you have to hold your hands up. When you look at our

Signs B u m p e r Toon Deal

squad, I don’t see why we can’t win it. There have been a lot of changes but I will expect big things. If other people don’t, that is down to them. But we are good enough to get in semifinals and finals. That is the aim.” Rooney will miss the opening two group games against France and Sweden through suspension and he understands he will not walk straight back into the team for the final fixture against co-hosts Ukraine. The Manchester United striker added: “It is the price I have to pay for making that mistake. It happened and I

Sunday 3rd June saw the preliminary rounds played of the Wild Bull Coast FM Darts Handicap Competition. For many, the most challenging competition of the whole season where teams get a handicap score following their position in the league ranking. The competition is mixed, 1st and 2nd division playing together in 1 big competition in which the lowest team (last team of the 2nd Div.) has a 501 points start and the highest (leading team of 1st Div.) has a 756 points start. Meigas (756) vs Chipeque (636) Mike’ brought out the big guns in the handicap cup and he tells us Tom had the easy draw. Then, with on form Mitch playing Paul 2-0 Miegas ,so the tests were soon on .Big Ian and Karl had to see the match

have to accept it. I will just prepare myself as if I was playing and hopefully come back into a winning team.” The 26-year-old also praised the early impact of Hodgson, saying: “When you have a change of manager, regardless who it is, you always think they might be looking to bring fresh players in. He said straight away he would take me, which was nice to hear. Already you can see he is very organised, which is something we have lacked during my time with England. It is great to have an Englishman in charge.”

Graham, and very pleased that he has committed his long-term future to the club. He has been instrumental in helping us to bring some truly exceptional players to Newcastle United and he has deservedly built one of the best reputations in the business.” Carr joined Newcastle in February 2010, during Chris Hughton’s stint as manager, and has himself become one of the club’s shrewdest acquisitions. He is now poised to work for the club he has supported all his life after signing a deal which will keep him at St James’ Park until the age of 75. Llambias said: “Graham works tirelessly to identify talented young players from across the world and has done a magnificent job over the last two years. He has the complete faith and support of the owner, the board and the manager, and it is excellent news that the club will continue to benefit from his expertise for many years to come.”

Our Place A (696) vs Nifty Nauta (501) Graeme put it simple - Our Place A 7 Nauta 0 say no more. They came they saw. But a good day had by all. Whilst Nifty Nauts said Julie tried, but couldn’t stop the boys coming through to show their class in the end. Chipeque Nomads (636) vs Belgian Beer Bar (606) Raf and his boys got beaten 4- 0 in the singles and saw the victory floating away. Chipeque Nomads were far too good for us.

Especially with John Boy throwing a lucky 180 and Richard finishing on 112. We continued the match playing friendly matches. We got better and better, but of course it was too late, the damage had already been done. Now it was our turn to celebrate “our loss” extensively (it doesn’t have to be always the Hunnies) at the bar at the après-darts-party, claimed Raf. Los Halcones (651) Vs Malabar (546) Los Halcones took the match with consistent darts and float into the next round With the handicap preliminaries under way, and leaving some teams with a free week, Target decided on some big match practice and chose a (friendly) between the A + B teams. Graham, in his lucky shirt, took great delight in announcing another victory for the A team after some tactical rule bending (emphasis on another he added) It’s back to a full league programme this Sunday people. Have Fun, enjoy and good Luck.

out without going into the doubles. Big Ian managed to take a leg, but the 120 point start was too much against young Adam, who took the match . Kd never looked like beating Brooksy and as he fell further behind the unknown happened... he took his cap off.. and still lost. Game on 2-2 bring on Mike and Dale to put the match to bed with Tom and Mitch in the doubles. Game to Meigas and a great day had by all ... and congratulations to Naomi and Enrique, the owner of Meigas, on the birth of their son. Beesnees Hunnies (531) vs La Central (621) La Central’s Andy told us La Central beat Hunnies 6-1. All the Hunnies were handicapped (see picture) and only Jackies hand made it a very good day in the Beesnees.

1st Division Rank

Newcastle have confirmed that influential chief scout Graham Carr has signed a bumper deal which will keep him at the club for a further eight years. The 67-year-old identified much of the talent in Alan Pardew’s team that finished fifth in the Premier League, defying expectations of a season of struggle on Tyneside. Northumberland-born Carr, who previously managed in the lower divisions and has worked as a scout at Tottenham and Manchester City, has been hugely responsible in helping the Magpies recruit the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Cheik Tiote and Sylvain Marveaux for modest fees in the last couple of years. And owner Mike Ashley has been delighted with his work in bringing in major talent to fit the club’s limited budget. Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias said: “We are delighted to have agreed an eight-year deal with

Tenerife Weekly - 8th June - 14th June 2012 SPORT

Hi Everyone. Firstly may I welcome my new sponsors of The Sports Scene, The Red Lion Bar & Bistro of Callao Salvaje. I have known Ronnie and Shona for about 10 years now. When they first came to my neck of the woods, when I had my restaurant in the village, they opened a bar called “The Rat Pack” and with their warm and friendly Scottish welcome, they made the bar an instant hit for great food. They moved on to the bigger things; taking on the Central Station Pub in Las Américas, before returning to Callao Salvaje to open the Red Lion. With a new and exciting menu in place you can watch all the Major Sporting Events on their open terrace or in the air conditioned bar, so Ronnie, Shona and all the staff welcome you to come and give it a try. Many thanks and I wish you both every success. Now, when I sit down to write this column I must admit that I write it with a lot going on in my mind. So, as I have been told in no uncertain terms by certain names, that being Martin, Matt, Bill and Ronnie that I did the report on the ladies Cup Final and yes I did tell you who scored the goals and penalties to defeat Chelsea, but I never mentioned who won. Sorry guys, so I will correct that straight away, it was Birmingham City. HAPPY NOW!! After not watching last week’s friendly I left the studio of Atlantis FM and hot-footed it back to Callao to watch the 2nd half. From the first half report on the Sky live commentary it already sounded a little bit of a muchness of last week: boring and nil-nil, so I took my nice cold pint of shandy and looked at the score 1- nil. Who scored that, I asked. Ashley Young, came the reply, with a great chip. Once again it turned out that I had missed the best part of the game as I found the second half with nothing to actually get your hearts a racing, too many times England gave the ball away, but when Belgium’s Dries Mertens needlessly and nastily shoved Gary Cahill into goalkeeper Joe Hart, he not only caused Chelsea’s defender a double fracture of the jaw, he also gave new manager Roy Hodgson a serious headache. With Cahill a serious doubt from the moment the incident occurred, his absence was confirmed on Sunday afternoon. It was clear much of the attention would centre on whether Hodgson would turn to Manchester United defender, Ferdinand, as his replacement. Ferdinand was the most high-profile exclusion from Hodgson’s 23man squad for Poland and Ukraine and the

questions surrounding his absence will no doubt be revisited in the build-up to England’s first game against France, in Donetsk on 11 June. Hodgson was at great pains to point out the omission had been for “footballing reasons” and not because of any diplomatic difficulties surrounding the court case involving fellow defender John Terry, who will stand trial after Euro 2012 for alleged racist abuse of Ferdinand’s brother, Anton: a charge he denies. But once it emerged that Liverpool’s young defender, Martin Kelly, was the preferred choice to replace

Cahill, Rio Ferdinand made his feelings clear, tweeting: “What reasons?????!!!” Hardly a coded message, it is a clear indicator that Ferdinand still questions the rationale behind Hodgson leaving him out of the summer showpiece. The case against, meanwhile, may actually have been articulated most clearly by his own manager at Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson said before England’s Euro 2012 squad selection: “You play something like a game every four days. Rio Ferdinand couldn’t do that.” If Hodgson is minded to elaborate on the “footballing reasons” behind his decision to leave Ferdinand out of his plans, he may well use Ferguson’s fears about his fitness. This decision looked increasingly rash on Sunday afternoon and for all the injustice Ferdinand clearly feels he has suffered, he has at no point suggested he feels hurt enough to withdraw his international services, although it remains to be seen how long that remains the case. It also means the list of potential tasks to be performed by Manchester United youngster, Phil Jones,

now includes cover at right-back, central defence and central midfield. Hodgson will hope he does not go lame between now and the time the action starts. Manchester City’s Joleon Lescott, who had an outstanding season at Etihad Stadium, is now favourite to partner Terry, although there is a logistical difficulty, in that both prefer the left side of the central positions. There is another alternative partnership embedded in England’s squad, however, one that is tried and tested and one that may yet come to the rescue in the coming weeks. Lescott and Everton’s Phil Jagielka formed a formidable partnership at club level when they played together at Goodison Park and they have looked comfortable together for England. It is something Hodgson will be very aware of. Belgium’s Mertens has a lot to answer for after his awful barge on Cahill. He has not only caused an opponent to fracture his jaw in two places - he has potentially disturbed the peace of England’s preparations for Euro 2012. What did make me smile was Joey Barton rearing his media head again. A spokesman for Queens Park Rangers has announced that Joey Barton will not be pressing charges following an altercation outside a Liverpool nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning. Police were called to an incident in the city centre at 5.30am. Arrests were made at the scene, while Barton made his way home voluntarily. No further action will be taken, with QPR confirming that Barton is keen to put the fracas behind him. AGAIN. Barton offered his take on the incident on Tuesday afternoon, taking to twitter to deny reports that he had been injured. He wrote: “I got sucker punched in the back of the head. Not injured as reported, just a small bruise on rear of head/ear. I’ve had worse. Life goes on! Thanks for the concern. Have a good day people. Will he ever learn? Did you back the Derby winner? My tip for the race was Bonfire, who came 6th, but I did pick a 2nd and a winner before the big

race and I also picked WAS to win the Oaks and he did, also trained by Aiden O’Brien. But the winner odds on favourite, Camelot, won in style for Trainer and Jockey. Trainer Aidan O’Brien won his fourth English Classic out of four this season, and had the unparalleled thrill of seeing his 19-year-old son Joseph on board.

It was the first time in 233 running’s of the famous race that a father/son, trainer/jockey combination had triumphed. Whatever his education, he is well schooled in how to look after racehorses and now has his eyes set on a clean sweep of the five Classics, by aiming Camelot at the St Leger in Doncaster where victory would seal the Triple Crown. No horse has won the Guineas, Derby, Leger treble since Nijinsky in 1970. He was trained at the same Ballydoyle yard in County Tipperary, by the legendary Vincent O’Brien, who was no relation but had the same winning mentality. So to close this week’s Column, a mention for poor Wayne and Coleen Rooney. Wayne Rooney’s much-publicised venture into ownership continued to pay few dividends as Pippy finished last again at Carlisle. Pippy was the first horse to run of a trio the Manchester United and England striker and his wife Coleen have in training with Tom Dascombe, when too inexperienced to do himself justice in the Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes at Chester. Looking unsuited by the course, Pippy was eased home by Tom Eaves in a race claimed by 18-1 shot Lady Ibrox. The couple’s other two-year-old to be seen, Tomway, has only beaten three horses home in two starts. Let’s hope he has more luck at the Euro’s. Come on England.

Till next Time.
