Tenerife Weekly - 26th April - 2nd May 2013

Editorial

Well, the sun is shining properly again and we have a brilliant weekend lined up for everyone. Firstly there is a charity golf tournament on Saturday 27th in conjunction with Pearly Grey and Dorada - Ingane Yami, a very special children’s charity that helps build houses and works with communities in South Africa. For golfing fans this is a must see event, full details are on pages 28-29. Secondly, we have the Help For

Heroes Fund Raiser at Vivo Decades in las Americas, also on Saturday 27th. The cream of Tenerife’s entertainment will be there, as well as Mickey & Minnie Mouse, a balloon sculptor, a giant paddling pool, bouncy castle, and we will also be offering an English favourites menu. Last year we helped to raise 2,500 Euros for our military men and women, this year we would love to double it. The raffle has some spectacular prizes, all donated from some of the biggest names on the Island. It is sure to be a superb day

out, the complete line –up is available on page, 24, I really hope to see you all there. This week’s issue has a couple of articles with a twist. Marc Craig went Ghost hunting, with some spectacular results, on page 5, and Steve Andrews has discovered what you can find on a cactus farm, page 11. Both couldn’t be further away from what people expect here in Tenerife. Who says it is all about, sun, sand and bar hopping?? See you all next week.

Continued from page 1

Immigration regulations for European citizens in general and specifically Brits in Tenerife can be somewhat confusing. As proprietor of the One Stop Problem Shop I deal with Tenerife officialdom on a daily basis, this information is current, although as is the case with all legislation, can be open to interpretation by the functionary concerned on the day!

“But we didn’t have to do that” will be the cry of the bane of my life; Manin-the-pub. Man-in-the-pub is not necessarily malicious, he often really wants to help, but at best gives out-of-date information or at worst down right misinformation, because after all, “It’s not like that in the UK is it? And don’t EU regulations state this, that, and the other?” No – I’m afraid it’s not like that in the UK, and in the real world, the one in which we have to deal with officialdom here in Tenerife, the local functionaries are the ones who ultimately allow or deny your application.

So I will begin with some words of caution to some British ex-pats already here in Tenerife; Don’t listen to what Man-in-the-pub says, there is no right or wrong of these situations, no one size solution fits all cases. Your requirements, obligations and ultimate application for a residence certificate here may be very different to your neighbour’s depending on INDIVIDUAL circumstances and more importantly the regulations in force at the time you are applying or renewing. If you already have a residence certificate, do not let your existing document lapse - if you do you may be classed as a new applicant and will not only have been in breach of immigration regulations but will have to jump through quite a few hoops to obtain another residence certificate. For those in the South of the island these matters are dealt with at the Comisaría (Main National Police Station). This is just off junction 28 of the TF1 and you should always consult officials on the specifics of YOUR case before taking action. If you still have a plastic residence card with your picture and finger print

on, or worse still an old burgundy red folded document, I am very much afraid your ship has sailed, you will be treated as a new applicant. For those with A4-sized green paper certificates the date of issue is IN WORDS at the bottom of the document, just above the signature (use Google translate if you don’t know your Spanish numbers), your certificate will need to be renewed five years from that date, CONTRARY to what applicants were told at the time of issue, as regulations have now been amended. For those in possession of the most recent style, wallet-sized green lightweight card-board residence certificate, the issue date is in numbers and words, again just above the signature. If your green paper document has indeed expired you may need to check with the Comisaría as to whether they consider you as a new applicant or not. This will very much depend on whether the green paper was issued as a result of an initial application, as a renewal of the old style plastic photo card, by how much time your certificate has expired and, in truth, the officer you deal with on the day. There has been much discussion in social media over “residente permanente” -Permanent Resident status, in my personal opinion if you have made your life here and are staying in Tenerife, stop looking for reasons not to renew your residence certificate, just do it and possibly save yourself untold grief in the future. All applicants who are renewing a European citizen in-date residence certificate will need to provide an original up to date empadronamiento document from your town hall prov-

ing where you currently live in Tenerife, together with a photograph, your passport and photocopy, an EX18 application form and a modelo 790 with paid paying in slip for the fee, currently 10,40 Euros. You will surrender your current green coloured certificate and will be issued a credit card sized certificate, also green, printed on lightweight card. Currently we are being advised this also will be valid for 5 years. So what about new applicants or those who have let their residency status lapse? If you are a new applicant (or are considered as one because of expiration of entitlement) as well as the standard requirements detailed above, you either have to be: • Currently working legally in Spain, or be self employed and so have a Spanish income. Or you have to prove your income is sufficient to support you and your family. This is done either: • By having a lump sum in a Spanish bank or regular income over a period of time from a Spanish source paid into a Spanish bank. • A letter authenticating your pension entitlement, (or other source of income), which has to be apostilled and legally translated if it originates outside of Spain. An amount over the minimum wage in Spain or a lump sum of 5,100 euros per person or more has been acceptable to date. But again this is not set in stone and may be amended in conjunction with other income sources or number of persons in the family; as the legislation states each case is judged on its merits.

You also have to show health care entitlement for you and your family, with either: • Health care funded by Spain if you are employed or self employed and are paying contributions here. • Health care funded by Spain if you are the legally registered dependant of an employed or self employed person as above. • Health care funded by Spain because you retired from working here and used to pay contributions here before retirement. • Health care funded by the UK because prior to current regulation changes you already processed an E121 or S1 document with the Spanish health authorities. • A current EHIC card, in date, issued by the UK together with an S1 document, if you are entitled to one, which will be subsequently processed by the Spanish Social security to enable you to have state health care in Spain funded by the UK • Or alternatively proof of an in date private health care insurance for you and your family. You may not like the requirements but they sound straight forward enough don’t they? Well here are some of the pitfalls you might come across during your application process. Q: I am already employed or self employed here and have health care but I don’t know how to prove it to the Extranjeria. A: You need to register at the Social Security to enable you to receive SMS notifications to your Spanish mobile, you do this at the INSS in Los Cristianos, you do not need an ap-

pointment, but you do need your passport and you need to know your NIE number or Spanish Social Security number. Once you are registered in the SMS system you can go to the Spanish Social Security website at www.seg-social.es, and arrange to download at any time an “Informe de Situación actual del trabajador” – an up to date report on your actual health care entitlement in Spain. Q: I am a Pensioner or unemployed but I do have health entitlement in Spain, I have a Spanish health card, why won’t the Extranjeria accept that as proof? A: If you are a Pensioner (without entitlement to a UK EHIC card) you will have to make an appointment at the CAISS Granadilla office and get an updated stamped report of your current situation from there. You can make an appointment to obtain this via the Social security website; there is normally a week to ten day delay so allow time for this if necessary. If you are legally registered as unemployed you should ask at your INEM office for proof of your situation, your case will be individually assessed. Q: Why won’t the Extranjeria accept my UK issued pension letter or P60 certificate? A: Because all documentation issued from outside Spain has to be Apostilled and legally translated into Spanish. Apostilles are dealt with by the UK - for more information see this website: https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised You may need to apply for a specifically authenticated letter from your bank in the UK or pension provider rather than a general bank statement. Check with the FCO what they will and won’t authenticate. There are any number of sworn translators who can officially translate your documents once they are apostilled, look in Paginas Amarillas or contact the British Consulate for information on your nearest one. Q: Why won’t the Extranjeria accept my new DKV private health card as proof of Private health care? A: The card may not have an expiry date on it and so would need to be accompanied by a copy of your latest contract or a letter proving current entitlement (in Spanish) Q: I have a Spanish company why won’t the Extranjeria accept this as proof? A: It is possible to be a shareholder or outright owner of a Spanish company but not to be paying Spanish social security contributions. If you are non-working director for example you may need to make arrangements for private health care cover. Q: I have thousands in the bank here; I showed them a statement why won’t the Extranjeria accept this as proof that I can support myself? A: Original passbooks (together with a photocopy) are acceptable, but a statement for a current or other type of account is only acceptable if your bank issues an official stamped letter detailing your holdings with them. The banks are used to this request and will do this for you within a couple of days; they may charge you for the privilege. Q: I’m new here and I want to be self employed but I can’t sort it out because they won’t let me have a residencia? A: The process is like a row of dominoes; first you get a nonresidents white NIE paper, you only need your passport and copy, application form and fee paid to do this. Once you have your white A4 NIE paper which lasts 90 days, you register to start your self employment and then return to the Extranjeria with a tax office Modelo 36 and a Social Security actual situation document as described above. Q: I’m new here and I’ve been offered a real job but I can’t get a residencia so I can’t work, what can I do? A: Again you need to do things in the right order, get your nonresidents NIE A4 white paper which will last 90 days, and a job offer in writing in Spanish, go and get a Spanish Social Security number, go back to your new employer and let them have copies of both numbers. Once you have your contract and your employment has started you can go back to the Extranjeria to get your residence certificate. The above Q & A are based on actual cases and reasons for applications being denied this year, but the list is not exhaustive, make sure you find out what applies to you and what doesn’t.

moVE over Paris, milan, and London, the place to be last weekend was Los Cristianos as the catwalk purred for two nights with fashion for the people. arona Esta de moda has established itself as the glittering shop window for affordable, eye catching styles on sale at local outlets. this year the stage was bigger with a pulsating video wall and vibrant music to entertain the large crowd on the sweltering evenings.

All the models were amateurs but they showed a flair for their big moment, some looked a little shy but there was always an encouraging word or helping hand from their friends and supporters in the audience. At least they weren’t isolated in the spotlight, each section of clothing started with dancers who formed a backdrop as the bright young things took it in turns to stroll out among the seated admirers for some close up views of what will be turning heads on the promenades of Tenerife this summer. If it was warm and sticky for the onlookers, spare a thought for the quick change stars who did a great job of looking cool in the face of a humid calima hanging in the air. It wasn’t just the ladies who did a twirl, the chaps did their bit and the childrens models added an extra layer

of cuteness and innocence. Some of the older musical numbers were a bit more raunchy, there was something for all age groups to enjoy and long after the music had faded local traders were hoping that an increase in clothes sales would be music to their ears.

Table Dancing Proof (for me at least), that ghosts exist.

By Marc Craig

I’m not a sceptic, in the words of The Xfile’s Fox Mulder, “I want to believe”. I’ve always been fascinated by all aspects of the unexplained. A scifi fan from an early age I often dreamed of encountering an extra-terrestrial- one of my favourite childhood daydreams was that George Lucas wrote Star Wars after he was somehow transported to that galaxy far, far away!!

Unfortunately I’ve yet to meet a little green man, but after last Wednesday I’m now convinced that I was in the presence of more than one spirit, spirits that were fully aware of us, understood us and responded to us in several ways.

A night in a ghost town

Church The investigation had been planned weeks ago, after I had written a piece about hauntings in Tenerife I was contacted by Keith and Angie Freeland, a psychic medium (Angie) and a paranormal investigator and after a meeting over coffee we arranged to visit the abandoned leper colony by Abades, one of the locations I’d written about and a place the Freeland’s had investigated many times before. By the time the day arrived I’d accumulated several ghost hunters of my own which I was told was good as the more people there, the more perspectives we would have on any paranormal activity

we experienced, so myself, my wife Becky, mother inlaw Linda and neighbours Sue Cass and Jackie Clark, met the Freelands and their curious friend, Tish, at the car park by the beach in Abades at 8pm and, as the sun set, we all made our way up the steep dirt track to the church at the top of the hill that dominates the colony. By the time we entered the church it was pretty much dark so we all turned our flashlights on to explore. As we stood in the main room, Angie asked us all to say how we were feeling and to “not delete anything” in other words mention anything no matter how insignificant you think it might be. People began to describe how they felt almost immediately, slight headaches, nervousness, and Becky didn’t want to stay in the main room and felt “pin pricks” starting with her legs then across the rest of her body. Initially I was disappointed as I felt absolutely nothing. That soon changed however as soon as we moved into a smaller side room, I instantly felt a shortness of breath like I’d just ran up a flight of stairs and it took me several minutes to breathe normally. Jackie and I tried the dowsing rods, a copper tube into which fits a brass L shaped rod, by resting an index finger underneath the right angle you “dampen” the movement so they don’t swing around wildly-both of us seemed to get activity with the rods seemingly moving by themselves, often at the instruction of Angie who was speaking out to any spirits that may have been there.

All the while Keith busied himself with taking EMF readings (nothing) temperature readings (no change) and photographing the proceedings and it was in one of those photos we could clearly see an orb (above the rather disturbing graffiti “meurte todo vosotros”-death to all of you), that appeared on only one of a series of photos of that wall.

moved to the spot outside the bathroom door-this spot Becky had refused to stand in when we first arrived. Within 30 seconds of swapping, I too pitched forward as if a very strong gust of wind had hit me from behind-my back by this time ached as if I had resisting a slight but persistent pressure against my knees! Making our way back to the front of the building Keith placed his wedding ring and bracelet on the floor, marking

a spirit named Eduardo who she’d encountered before was responsible, he was 5060 married with 3 kids and was involved in the building of the colony until he died of an illness-he also responded to Angie’s knocks on the table top by very faintly rapping underneath-at first I was sure the “knocks” were just the creaking of the metal frame, however as she tried to get him to respond over and over again, I’m convinced that at least some were genuine

Eduardo’s room Next we moved to a dormitory just past the church to the left where they’d experienced activity before-this proved to be everyone’s favourite part of the night, we made our way to the back room of the rectangular building, a smallish bedroom sized space with a bathroom in the corner, we joined hands and formed a circle whilst Angie attempted to encourage the spirits that she said she sensed in the vicinity to make themselves known by pushing one of us, lighting up the EMF, tugging someone’s hair or by “making Marc’s knees buckle”!! After 10 minutes of nothing Jackie suddenly pitched forward into the middle of the circle! This happened again a few minutes later, so when Jackie said she no longer wanted to stand there, I agreed to swap places and

their position with black tape to check before we left (they didn’t move). In the entrance to the building we then set up a perfectly normal folding table (we checked it) upon which Angie placed a planchette and the 6 non-professionals placed a finger on it. Almost immediately it began moving swiftly and surely across the surface of the table, even sliding onto the rim of the table top and even upside down and underneath!! I have to admit I kept a close eye on Tish as she was the only person touching the planchette that I didn’t know but I can honestly say without any doubt she wasn’t moving it! We ditched the planchette and with fingertips on the table top, watched in amazement as the table span, jumped, hopped on one leg and “walked” across the room!! Angie told us that

copied rhythms that I can’t explain. It’s interesting to note that Keith noticed a definite drop in temperature at that specific point by as much as 3-4 degrees that he can’t explain scientifically. Children and the speed freak As we edged toward midnight we decided to try one more location -a large build-

ing, possibly a dining hall with archways that Linda felt drawn to checking out. The light mood that Eduardo had put us in soon left us as no one felt very comfortable at all, I felt a sadness, Becky felt close to tears and the majority of us felt unnerved. Angie was interested to hear that Tish felt the presence of children, as she had recently discovered that there were rumoured to be children buried somewhere in the area. We saw more strange graffiti such as “mama leprosa” or mother leprosy and “I was an actress” in Spanish-although Angie assured me ghosts don’t graffiti!! Lastly, we moved back through the very large building to the room by the arches where Angie and I experienced the most impressive table dancing of the evening. Observed by the rest of the group, we could barely keep one finger on the surface as the table leaped and pirouetted across the room-manipulated by, according to what Angie felt- a tall handsome young man of 28-30 who loved speed and died in a car accident. Finally as we prepared to leave, Becky was helping collect all the equipment and picked up the EMF meter and, for the first and only time that night, it leapt to life crackling and lighting up like a Christmas tree causing the girls to scream!! I can’t explain most of what happened that night, I know I didn’t try to make anything move or fake anything and I’m absolutely sure nobody else did, but regardless, it was a night I’ll never forget and I’d like to thank Keith and Angie for allowing us to spend a night in their fascinating world!!

St Georges Flag Day Competition

Ian Campbell

Robert Leadbetter Amarilla Golf Members Club By Sir Old Golfer This was the 14th year the competition has been held at Amarilla Golf Course by the club members.

Players were asked to wear red and white and the golf club terrace was decked out in red and white balloons and bunting. Each player took a small flag and wrote his name on it. He then went around the course until he used up all his shots. Par 71 for the course plus his handicap. eg 71+12 h/c would give 83 shots. When the players shots are used

up he placed his flag in the ground. The player that placed his flag farthest around the course was declared the winner. This year flags first started appearing from the 15th green onwards. 3 players had a shot left after playing 18 holes and had to play their remaining shot up the first fairway. Balls were drawn for the order of play and Rob Leadbeater went first followed by Mick Samson and Tony Bolsover. Rob hit a long straight drive down the fairway which the other two

were unable to better on this occasion so, as last year’s winner, Rob retained “the flag”. The Flag is an English St Georges across which are the signatures of all the previous winners and kept in the trophy cabinet. During this year’s event Club Member Ian Campbell recorded his first ever hole-in-one, on the 18th hole, and everyone enjoyed a drink courtesy of the Club. Club Captain Simon Shovlar then made the presentation and a toast was made to St George before Members enjoyed a splendid buffet from Karoline Shovlar.

Pilgrimage of San Marcos, Tegueste

http://queeniesdailysnippets.wordpress.com

The Pilgrimage of San Marcos is held each year in Tegueste on the Sunday closest to April 25 and marks the start of “the season”. This year it will be on Sunday 28th April.

The festivities start by choosing the “Romera Mayor”, a sort of carnival queen and there are a multitude of events including Canary wrestling, fireworks and a concert in the Plaza that lead up to the actual day of the pilgrimage. On this day, the massive influx of people seems to confirm it is one of the most popular celebrations on the Island; the side effect is monumental traffic queues that form from early morning. An hour before the true shin-dig begins, which is the bit us heathens really want to see, there is mass and the image of San Marcos Evan-

gelista is placed in front of the square to bless the pilgrims, livestock and carters. This year 26 wagons and floats decorated with the natural produce of the countryside will participate, accompanied by the tantalizing aroma of grilled meat, wrinkled potatoes and boiled eggs. The main feature of this romería is the generosity of the wagons that throw food to the crowds that line the route. So with 26 mobile sources of give-away food and booze, I thought it would be a particularly good feast or should that be fiesta! Some bystanders deftly use hats and baskets

to increase their chances of catching the flying food. Along with the procession there is the historic Dance of Flowers a folk event whose existence can be traced back to the 16th century. The dance is done by dancers, all impeccably dressed in white with plumed hats that have

different coloured ribbons hanging down the back. It is testament to the idiosyncrasies and cultural heritage of the Tegueste people. The dancers carry a pole with a crown of flowers on the top and they dance around it to the beat of drums and castanets.

Boats accompany the procession and are part of the culture, I don´t know why but they have been there for years and years. These sail smoothly along pulled by oxen. After the procession, the feast continues throughout the afternoon with the blessing of the livestock and offerings to the saint, consisting of an assortment of farm produce. This isn´t however, a fiesta just for the lovers of tradition – the pilgrimage of San Marcos attracts thousands of young people, most dressed in traditional costumes, that party in their own way, capturing events on their mobile phones and transmitting in real time to social networks around the world. They share everything not just music, food and joy. The final act of the fiesta is a bonfire: a rag doll made from straw and old clothes represents a public figure, which is burned to the shouts and cheers of the public. The bonfire is a ritual way of returning to everyday life. So hours after they arrived, crowds of people with full stomachs and glasses of local wine in hand start to migrate homewards. There are parties like this in many countries, but none with such good cheer and such good food.

Los Cristianos Squares Up To The Sea

By Colin Kirby Shielding Los Cristianos beach like a comforting embrace the harbour wall has stood firm against the seasonal tides, and wakes produced by the daily ferry journeys between islands. Now the time has come to bolster the defences and give a bright new face to the flaking paint work.

Over the last few months giant concrete cubes have been formed in moulds on a building site just beside the ring road to Playa de Las Americas and with the help of towering cranes at each end of the operation they are now being transferred and dropped into place along the outside of the harbour wall. The process is costing a fraction under one million euros and is financed by the port authority. That’s the safety

angle taken care of, and then comes the decorative and educational part of the revamp. The original mural of whales and dolphins was painted ten years ago by volunteers from the Atlantic Whale Foundation to highlight the threat to these magnificent animals. One third of the world’s species of whales and dolphins either live or pass through Canarian waters. The huge task of stripping down the old covering and doing a new template before filling it in has been taken on by 100 students from the Art Faculty of La Laguna University in the north of Tenerife. In total there are 2,000 square meters to paint and once finished it will be one of the biggest in Europe. It will be a fitting reminder of Tenerife’s unique place in the Atlantic eco system and also make a bright and uplifting spectacle on the beach and town side of the wall.

Dog Owners Warning Lions Support Schools Tenerife Sur Lions Club are pleased to help the I.E.S. School in Los Cristianos with support and sponsorship for the Athletics team who are due to compete on the mainland in the National Inter Schools Sports Tournament due to take place next week.

Many of our readers will know, and have enjoyed reports by Janet Anscombe. It is with incredible sadness that Janet and her husband, Jeremy, reported the loss their “baby” Rosie this week. She is the latest victim of poisoning. She died very shortly after ingesting the poison, even though the antidote, Atropina, was administered very quickly. Heartbreakingly her brother, owned by a neighbour, was also poisoned and died. They died together after enjoying a runabout together in the fields close to their homes.

This all took place in a mountain village a kilometre above Playa San Juan in Guía de Isora, away from tourist areas and a haven for dogs and residents who prefer the quiet life. Janet and Jeremy were taken on by Rosie, a podenco cross, in June 2012, she was just six weeks old and they fell in love with her: “This is a breed (or a cross breed anyway) that people say is unhomeable. We’ve found ours to be a stubborn, pig-headed, opinionated, disobedient little madam … and loyal, loving, gentle, calm, affectionate, and incredibly intelligent! She was so loved, and we tried and I hope succeeded in giving her the best life a dog could wish for. She was almost human at home, but lived a full free and happy dog’s life in the mountains which her breed is at home in.” Poison is often put down in an effort to kill off vermin, or by people who don’t like animals; tragically, it is often the case that well-loved family pets can eat the poison with horrifying effects. As a pet owner it is wise to make sure you have some of the antidote at home. It comes in a pack of ten for 2 Euros, and you syringe it into the scruff of the neck. Vets say that it will counter almost every poison likely to be put down in Tenerife, but of course it needs to be ad-

ministered very quickly. In Rosie’s and her brother’s case it was too late even though it was very quickly given ... confirming it must have been a massive dose of poison. It could, theoretically, though unlikely, have been a different poison than that which can be dealt with by this antidote. It can be bought over the counter, although some chemists may insist on a prescription. In some they will simply sell the antidote with an explanation of why you want it. Rosie was a beautiful dog and will be incredibly missed by her family; you can see her life with Janet and Jeremy on her diary page www.janetanscombe.com/rosies-diary. All of us at Tenerife Weekly send our deepest sympathy.

2011 Starmus Festival CD Released

tangerine dream has announced the release of Starmus’’ Sonic Universe with guest guitarist Brian may. one of the most diverse and musical collaborations is finally available on double Cd: the result of a very special set at the Starmus Festival here in sunny tenerife, the album immortalizes an unlikely yet heavenly match, as tangerine dream join forces on stage with the legendary musician.

May has earned himself a place in rock history with one of the most iconic bands of all times: Queen. Tangerine Dream are well known for their highly acclaimed Hollywood film scores. However, the fusion of such different talents is not the only thing making ‘Starmus ‘ Sonic Universe’ unique. The Starmus Festival was held in June 2011 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Juri Ga-

garin’s first spaceflight; it was attended by spacemen Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Alexei Leonow and Jim Lovell amongst others. The first track of the album, ‘Supernova’, features the real sound of acoustic pressure waves from stars, captured by astrophysicist Prof. Garik Israelian, also founder of the event. ‘We did send it to Brian some time prior to the concert, so he had the chance to get an overall feel for this very progressive score’ ‘ comments Edgar Froese ‘ ‘He’s not only an exceptional guitarist, but also a very openminded artist to work with’. The second track on Starmus is May’s solo hit Last Horizon: ‘We knew that one already’ ‘ says Edgar ‘ ‘so it was easy for Brian to join on guitar’. Brian May is back again at the end of the set for Sally’s Garden, a traditional Irish air arranged by Tangerine Dream, and a very special version of We Will Rock You with a coda ‘largely improvised by us all on the spot’ ‘ according to May.

Down On The Tenerife Cactus Farm

By Steve Andrews aka The Bard Of Ely

Tenerife is a wonderful place for cacti and succulents and you will see these exotic plants all over the island. Prickly Pears (Opuntia species) are a feature of the landscape here in so many places.

Because of the subtropical climate cacti and succulents are perfect plants for our gardens, unlike in the UK where most would need to be kept indoors or in greenhouses. But let me introduce you to Søren Juhl Friis-Jespersen, an enterprising Tenerife resident who has taken this idea much further indeed, because he is running a cactus farm just outside Garachico in the north-west of the island. I went along to meet him and was amazed to see the vast number and variety of cacti and succulents he has growing on the several fields that make up his farm. It was like looking at a sea of cacti or a forest of the taller types! Søren has thousands of barrel cacti, such as the Golden Barrel or Mother-in-law’s Seat Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii). This is a cactus that got its humorous name because you definitely wouldn’t want to sit down on it! There are little ones in pots,

really big ones and groups of assorted sizes, as well as row after row of all sorts of smaller cacti. I would be here all day if I was going to name them all! He has fields full of the succulent Euphorbia species that looks like a cactus and is known as the Candelabra Tree (Euphorbia ingens). They are all planted in rows, staggered across the ground or already potted up ready for sale. He tells me this is one of his best-sellers, as are other types of Euphorbia. Plants in this large family are also known as spurges and a characteristic they all share is a white and toxic sap inside their stems and leaves. Break one and it oozes out. One of the species he grows on his farm is the Milk-Striped Spurge (E. lactea) which gets its name because of the whitish milky marbling in the middle of its stems and branches. It grows into a small tree and is often planted in shrub borders. There are some wonderful specimens in

Los Cristianos near the bus station. Søren also has the variety of this plant known to specialists as E. lactea compacta. Not surprisingly he grows Aloe Vera in large numbers too. This is a succulent that forms large rosettes of grey-green spiky leaves and carries its yellow tubular flowers high above on flowering spikes. The gel and sap from this plant is used for its healing properties to treat skin conditions and also is an ingredient in cosmetic products, soaps, shampoos and creams. Søren has a special interest and liking for the Houseleeks or Veroles as they are called in Spanish. He has the variety known as Black Rose (Aeonium arboreum var artopurpureum ‘Schwarzkopf’) with its really dark purple-black rosettes of

succulent leaves. But it not just cacti and succulents you will find on this really interesting farm because there are also Dragon Trees (Dracaena draco) and the weird plant known as Elephant’s Foot or Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata), which stores water in the swollen base of its trunk. It is actually in the Asparagus family (Asparagaceae) though you wouldn’t think so to look at it. It can reach nearly 5 metres in height and its trunk is crowned with a tuft of long leathery leaves. I couldn’t get over the vast number of cacti and ornamental plants I saw growing on the farm and was amazed at the prices Søren was giving me when I asked. He says he has the “cheapest prices on the island” and I can well believe it. Just a few Euros would get you a potted cactus that would cost at least double that amount in a shop or from a garden centre. Back in Britain many of the cacti and succulents he has for sale would cost an extortionate price to buy! Of course it would be possible to buy stock from Søren and then sell on again at markets or elsewhere, and if you just wanted to give your garden or terrace that tropical touch with an array of cacti this would be the place to get your plants from. The farm is open to the public by arrangement only so you would need to phone Søren for details of how to get there and to sort out a date when you could meet him. He speaks fluent English or Spanish and his telephone number is 636 231 705 and he is happy to sell individual plants or to take large bulk orders. I know where to go if I want any cacti now. I have never seen so many of these spiny plants in my life!

SomE dogs are easy to adopt, the puppies, the cute ones. It’s not so easy as a dog gets older of course, and some are forgotten in refuges for many years – some cannot be homed with children, not because they are aggressive, but because they are simply suited to more tranquil surroundings and homes with not so many people in them. We have two dogs that fit this category; can you offer them a forever home?

Golfo is a 4 year old spaniel mix male. He is like a big cuddly bear and craves attention, but he needs to be with a single person or couple who have time and patience. He is currently being fostered by Alice and Mark at Poochies Pet Hotel, and Alice says, “He has so much love to give but seems so confused as to how to take it or give it. He growls when he wants loving, and this can be off putting. He doesn’t like being told what to do but I believe he could be trained, he won’t let you take him by the collar but will be led on a lead quite happily. He is not particularly sociable with other dogs, as in he doesn’t want to play much, but he is ok in their company and doesn’t fight”

golfo We thank Alice for her honest assessment of Golfo. Popov has been with us many years and is one of our dogs in the Agua Dulce Dog Hotel. He is a Labrador of 8 years old, brought here from Argentina at great expense only to be abandoned. He barks loudly to say hello, which could be off putting to some children, but is otherwise a lovely dog who really deserves some love for the rest of his years. If you can help by taking one of these lovely boys, even on a “see how it goes” basis, please call Sue on 629 388 102 to arrange a meeting. They have been with us for too long, please give them a second chance.

COME AND SUPPORT OUR JOINT BENEFIT THIS SUNDAY

At Our Place, Costa del Silencio form 4pm, we team up

Popov once again with our friends at K9 and Cats Welfare to bring you a fantastic afternoon’s entertainment. Aidy Evans will be introducing you to Storm Duo, Vicky Denton, Steve Delsey, Suzy Q, Alfie B and the world class Nick Page, with more to be confirmed. Add to that one of Mikeys famous quizzes and it is looking to be a good one. See you there.

Mainland New Energy Certificates News In Required For All Properties Brief American authorities have finally handed over a 16th century tapestry that turned up in Texas last year, more than three decades after it was stolen from a church in northern Spain. The woven, saint-filled altarpiece, thought to be produced in the early 1500s, was taken from a national cathedral in Roda de Isábena, in the Spanish province of Huesca, in December 1979. It resurfaced a few years ago, passing through the hands of European gallery owners and art dealers and until it was bought at an auction by a business in Houston for $369,000 in 2010. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized the tapestry from that business back in November under the National Stolen Property Act. The investigation was part of an ICE operation dubbed “Hidden Relic,” which is aims to find and return stolen art, artefacts and other cultural property. Emilio Morenatti, an Associated Press photographer has won a prestigious Spanish journalism award for his photograph of a store worker terrified by a violent street protest; the image illustrates the effects of the country’s financial crisis. The snapper has covered war zones for almost a decade, from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Middle East, has been awarded the 2013 Ortega y Gasset award by Spain’s leading newspaper El Pais. An anarchist group in Spain has been sending bombs to prominent Roman Catholics, hiding the explosives inside packages containing vibrators. At least two such mini-bombs have been sent by a group that calls itself the Anticlerical Pro Sex Toys Group. One device exploded at a postal sorting office, slightly injuring the woman who was handling the package. The group apologised for the mistake. The group targeted the Roman Catholic archbishop of Pamplona, Francisco Pérez, and the head teacher of a private school belonging to the ultra-conservative Legionnaires of Christ movement in Madrid. Police believe the same group is behind a bomb packed inside a pressure cooker that was left near the public prosecutor’s office in Madrid, but failed to explode. New figures released by Spain’s national statistics institute, the INE show that there are nearly three and a half million empty homes in Spain, 10.8% more than a decade ago. The total number of empty homes in Spain is 3,443,365, 13.7% of more than 25 million homes are empty. The highest percentage is in Andalucia, which registers 18.5%. Valencia has 14.7% and Catalonia registers 13%. One in five of the empty properties was built within the last 10 years. In November 2011, INE’s building census showed that 25,208,623 homes were empty. Spanish finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro has said that he believes 2013 will be the last year of recession in Spain, as there are signs that market confidence in the Mediterranean economy is returning. Montoro speculated that inflation would likely be closer to 1% than 2% this year. While Spain may technically leave recession, a full recovery seems less likely. Any growth at all would be surprising as Spain remains weighed down by high debts and the Eurozone as a whole is expected to contract further this year. Spain sacked its consul in Boston for failing to carry out his duties following the bombing in the US city’s marathon that killed three people and wounded more than 170, a foreign ministry official said. Consul Pablo Sanchez-Teran “has been informed that he was dismissed for breach of his consular obligations”.

The CEE – Certificado de Eficiencia Energética – has come into effect in Mainland Spain. From the 1st of June 2013, no property transfer, either by sale or lease, will be registered by a Notary without a CEE. This result comes from an EU regulation that has actually been in effect from 2002 and equivalent CEE’s have been required for many years in other countries. New property in Spain has had to have the CEE since 2008 and the new regulation now brings that requirement to resale properties. The property owner is obliged to get the certificate by instructing a suitably qualified property professional. They inspect the property; note the many relevant points of location, construction and condition; enter the information into a highly complex computer formula; and the bar chart ‘banding’ of the property will be produced. This is then submitted to the appropriate Comunidad’s office (eg Junta de Andalucia or Murcia or Valencia) for ratifying and then the CEE is issued to the owner. The new system will cost, and take time, so home owners are advised that it would be wise to start work promptly. If you wait until, for example, the buyer gives his deposit, and then there is a risk that the issue of the CEE could delay the sale. The professional can be encouraged to work more quickly, but once the report is submitted to the Junta’s office then it will take time. Everybody is new to the system and will have to learn how it works. Over the last few months, professionals such as Architects, Technical Architects and Building Engineers have been sent on courses on how to generate the certificate and hopefully the government officials have been similarly training in the scrutiny and issuance of the final CEEs. There appear to be different levels of work that can be carried out to provide a certificate, with cursory ones resulting in poorer levels of banding, but with the more studious giving the possibility of raising the banding. Inevitably the better the band the higher will be the price of the property, as buyers will see that there will be energy savings over a poorer band property. There is also talk of the system leading to ‘encouragement’ for owners

to improve the energy rating of their property by, for example, reductions in the level of IBI having to be paid: poorer banding indicates higher energy costs and potentially higher taxes. It is up to the individual professional and their client to agree the fee; the Government has indicated that the professionals should charge only 90€ euro and the Junta official will charge nothing. Having taken one of the courses and knowing the amount of work involved in producing the band correctly, that might just be the fee that could be charged per owner if a professional is surveying a large block

of identical apartments at the one time. It would certainly be sensible for presidents and administrators to instruct a professional to carry out the work on the whole of their community and thus save the costs to the individual owner. The certificate lasts for 10 years so even if owners are not selling or renting now, it will be prudent while as there is bound to be an obligation in the future for all properties to have a Certificado de Eficiencia Energética. However, if you are the owner of an individual villa, it will cost considerably more for a proper survey to increase the possibility of getting a better

CEE banding. It details the window glass thickness, the efficiency of the water heater, the orientation of the walls and roof, etc. It could easily take 4 to 5 hours for a large property and then all that information has to be entered into the formula and the result submitted to the officials. Inevitably there will be some queries from them that will involve more work and then the CEE will be issued. This also means more work for estate agents who will not be allowed to market a property after 1st June without the certificate being displayed, if not there will be fines for agents and property owners.

Earthquake In Navarra

The Spanish National Geographical Institute has confirmed that a 4.2-magnitude earthquake hit Navarra in the north of Spain last Saturday evening but did not cause serious damages.

The quake, which hit at 5:18 p.m. local time, is the strongest of many tremors to have hit the region this year, and was followed by four aftershocks. The epicenter was near the town of Uterga, although tremor was felt in

all of the towns of the region and also in the Navarran capital of Pamplona. Navarra has recorded a series of low level seismic activities over recent months. Between February 14 and April 14, the National Geographical Institute registered 119 tremors measuring 1.5 degrees on the Richter Scale or above. Nine people were killed in a stronger quake on May 11, 2011, when a 5.1-magnitude quake hit the city of Lorca. Another 400 people were injured.

Classic Wines of Spain

IF you don’t know anything about wine, but would love to try something a bit different, then check out the following highly recommended Vinos. you can even pretend to be a wine buff!

Adega Cachin Peza Do Rei Blanco 2011 (Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain) Possibly one of the most intricate and fascinating white wines around. Harvested from a set of vineyards arranged on steep terraces above a river valley floor, it’s as if the vines know they must perform well. A blend of the “rockstar” grapes from North West Spain, Albariño and Godello, proves a winning combination of all the styles: bright, focused tropical notes that lead to plump flavours of citrus, apple, and spiced mineral which carry a length and breadth of great complexity. Chive and salt details add extra intrigue and layers. Possibly a bit pricey for some though as only 300 cases have been made, only 3,600 bottles—for the whole world to sample. Vinicola Corellana Viña Zoral Rosado 2011 (Navarra, Spain) 100% Garnacha, which is a delightfully zesty and spicy grape, so this is

not the usual rose. Fresh, lively, and still somehow delicate, this shows great traditional notes of watermelon and berry riding on a clean mineral frame. There’s nice zip from acidity and the light spice typical for Garnacha. If there isn’t any sunshine, a sip of this will make you at least feel like there is! Adega Cachin Peza do Rei Menciá 2009 (Ribeira Sacro, Galicia, Spain) It is said that wines produced in the rugged yet fertile valleys of the Ribeira Sacro were sent directly to be consumed by the Caesars and Emperors of Rome. Distinct and of high quality, Mencia is grown only in a few areas in Spain, and his its own distinct qualities. As a result, this wine may fall outside the regular conventional descriptions: it seems to show all kinds of different styles, with a wealth of dark fruit, smoke, meat, spice, and very noticeable mineral notes. There’s a great touch of cardamom on this finish, with a great return of the fruit and wood, to make for a very exotic yet elegant experience. Bodegas Martinez Corta Cepas Antiguas Rioja 2011 (Rioja, Spain) Tempranillo is again the star here with this older vine project made

with traditional methods and style. You will be hard pressed to find something this well done for the price. Deliciously earthy, rough, and downright sexy, this shows dark, almost blueberry like fruit with leather, spice, and solid structure with tannins, mineral, and only a slight touch of dusty espresso on the fin-

ish. This could be a secret weapon wine: your guests will think you spent a lot, but your budget will be intact. Alconte Ribera del Duero 2007 (Ribera Del Duero, Spain) Alconte may be a newer winery (founded in 2001 by a publisher), but the wines are made from a com-

bination of vines that range from new (8 years) to very old (100 plus years). The results are complex and very traditional somehow. Big, ripe flavours of cherry, blackberry, and sweet wood mix effortlessly with cola, spice, generous mineral and a touch of smoke. Salud!

The Crisis Leads To The Spain Searching Fall Of The Pura Raza For Films To Sell Española Breed

The Southern Spanish region of Andalusia, famed for flamenco and Moorish castles, is also home to the legendary breed of horses, “Pura Raza Espanola” — Pure Spanish Breed — that carried conquistadors into battle, featured in Hollywood epics and more recently became trophy acquisitions for Spaniards during the economic boom.

The number of big films going into production in Spain is dropping, so top Spanish movie companies are going abroad for sizable, sell-able movies to co-produce and sell. For foreign companies, this opens up a realm of opportunities - Spanish production co-finance and sales agents’ minimum guarantees.

However, they are now the latest to fall victim to the Spanish economic collapse. The Pura Raza Espanola breed has always been popular in Spain but their popularity increased after the start of the country’s biggest ever economic boom in the late 1990s. They had already won fame as war horses and were often gifts exchanged between European nobility, and have been featured in Hollywood films such as “Gladiator” and “Braveheart.” The spike in demand over the last decade triggered a breeding frenzy in which the number of horses in Spain rose by the hundreds of thousands, nearly half of them purebreds like Pura Raza Espanola. Spain’s newly minted affluent classes couldn’t get enough of them. When the bubble finally burst, the first demand for the horses dried up. Now, as the financial crisis deepens with no end in sight, horse owners are finding it increasingly difficult to pay for the upkeep of these animals. Owners who can’t find anybody to take the animals off their hands, face sending them to the slaughterhouse. Up until last year, Spanish law dictated that rejected horses had to be sent to the slaughterhouse, that is now no longer the case, but most are still turned into meat because there’s

little alternative. Owners who simply abandon horses face steep fines. 70,000 horses were sent to slaughter in Spain by owners and breeders in 2012, more than double the 30,000 recorded killed by the country’s Agriculture Ministry in 2008 A buyer who sells horses to the slaughterhouses pays about 150 euros per animal, and sends a truck to pick them up. The horses then remain in a corral until the local slaughterhouse gets through its waiting list of horses registered for butchery. The Agriculture Ministry horse census counted 660,889 horses in Spain this year, down from a high of 748,622 in 2011 — but the number is still much higher than the 435,598 counted in 2007 just before Spain’s economic boom imploded. Veterinarians and horse experts warn that the high number of horses being killed in Spain could continue for many years. Government officials have taken notice but there doesn’t seem to be any solution to prevent the slaughters. It all boils down to simple economics: Horses have working lives of 10 to 12 years, and many of those alive now were born just a few years ago for a market that has disappeared. Many breeders have gone out of business and those that remain are breeding fewer

horses, said Leopoldo Fernandez, president of the Spain-based Union of Breeders of Spanish Horses association: “The inventory is being diminished and breeders are being diminished,” said Fernandez, who runs a large Pura Raza Espanola breeding operation in Segovia, about an hour from Madrid. “You have the breeder who throws in the towel, and the breeder diminishing the amount he is breeding. Horses are either being sold at a very low price or going to the butcher. We don’t know how many people are digging holes in the ground and putting their horses there.” Fernandez said he’s seen evidence of some Spanish breeders underfeeding their horses amid their struggle to make ends meet. And animal rights activists say the crisis has sparked an increase in the number of abandoned horses despite the threat of fines. But the slaughterhouse is still the more common fate. Most Spanish horse owners complied with a government mandate requiring microchips that include ownership details to be surgically implanted into horses. That means owners who abandon their horses can be tracked down and assessed penalties ranging from hundreds to thousands of euros and adding to their own financial crisis.

This outreach will allow more foreign companies to tap into a major advantage; selling to one of the world’s fastest-growing big movie markets, Latin America: “Ten years ago, Latin America was dead and Western Europe very strong. Now it’s pretty well the other way round,” said Geraldine Gonard, at Imagina Intl. Sales. Recently there have been a flurry of recent Spanish outreach deals. Barcelona-based Film Factory recently announced it had taken international rights to “Relatos salvajes,” a six-part omnibus headed by one of Argentina’s most talked-about crossover talents, Daniel Szifron (“The Pretender,” “On Probation”), about people driven to flashpoint by their own ambition or the world’s inequalities; said to draw inspiration from 1989 film “New York Stories” and Steven Spielberg’s “Amazing Stories.” In further announcements, Latido unveiled further features that

includes “Black Diamonds,” Spaniard Miguel Alcantud’s tale of an African soccer star wannabe; “Thesis From a Homicide,” from Argentina’s Hernan Goldfrid; “Puppy Love,” Belgian Delphine Lehericey’s coming-of-age tale; and “Jungle,” a tale of a bickering couple on a cannibal island that grossed a smash $16.0 million in Russia since its Jan. 17 bow. Spain’s TV advertising market shrank a huge 19% to 1.8 billion euros in 2012, according to Infoadex: “Spanish broadcasters’ money is driving the industry. But networks are thinking twice before greenlighting new projects, while sales agents need a full slate for Cannes. Argentina produces 140 films a year,” said Film Factory’s Vicente Canales. The number of sellable independent films is declining. “A film either sells well or almost not at all. There’s no midway point,” Canales added. “Spain’s film industry is producing fewer films, many aren’t that big. Having bridged to Latin America, we want to extend that bridge to Europe,” said Latido’s Silvia Iturbe. And Spanish audience tastes are evolving. “We want to take on foreign movies, especially ones that will appeal to our portfolio of clients in Latin America,” said Geraldine Gonard, at Imagina. “We are very well established in terms of Latin America and Latino markets. That’s why production companies are coming to us.”

Do your research before you buy property in Spain, Foreign Office advises Consular staff on hand to guide potential buyers at ‘A Place In The Sun’ show in London

Access to healthcare, obtaining independent property advice and learning the language are all things to consider carefully before deciding to move abroad, Foreign Office staff advised wouldbe buyers at the annual ‘A Place in the Sun’ overseas homes show in London last week.

Consular staff from Spain were on hand to provide more than 1,000 Britons with impartial advice on things to think about before moving abroad. British Consul Paul Rodwell said: “We offered clear advice that helps people to think more carefully about planning their move. We made them aware of potential pitfalls when buying property overseas, as well as thinking about other important issues such as access to healthcare and how they’re going to integrate into local life by learning the Spanish language.” Potential buyers are encouraged

to visit the wealth of information on living abroad within the UK Government’s new www.gov.uk website, as well as to look at the property advice on Spain at www.gov.uk/howto-buy-property-in-spain. New official figures show that last year some 4,148 Spanish homes were purchased by British nationals, an increase of 3.5% compared with 2011, though still far from the peak of more than 17,000 British buyers in 2007. Mr Rodwell, Consul for the Alicante region, and Bernadette Gallagher, property expert for southern Europe, attended the London property show as part of a continuing drive by the Foreign Office to ensure that Britons who are thinking about moving abroad have all the information they need before making final decisions. Six out of ten people who spoke to Foreign Office staff were thinking of Spain as their place in the sun, showing that the country continues to be the most popular destination for Britons thinking about moving overseas.

Spain approves new Spanish Police Arrest Kidnappers Evictions Law

Spain’s Parliament has approved a new mortgage law in the hope it will calm the national outcry over the dramatic increase in recent evictions, but anti-eviction lobbyists say it is insufficient.

The new law offers home owners having difficulties more opportunities to keep their home, but opponents’ have demanded an insolvency law to allow defaulters to simply hand back the keys to their homes. The bill was approved on the strength of the governing Popular Party’s absolute majority with opposition parties all voting against. The Popular Party bowing to pressure to bring in the new law after the Stop Evictions group presented more than 1 million signatures calling for change. Repossessions due to nonpayment of mortgages have increased since the economic crisis began in 2008. Property registrars state that around 30,000 residence owners were evicted in 2012. Spaniards are angry that most people will still have to pay off their debt even after

Spanish police were involved in an operation which resulted in the arrest of a gang responsible for the kidnapping of 21 businessmen in France and Luxembourg to raise over three million euros in ransom. Eight suspects, including the ring’s suspected leader who had escaped from a prison in Avignon in south eastern France in October 2012, were detained in Spain. A further eight were arrested in France.

they have been evicted. At least five people have committed suicide in Spain because they had either been evicted or were about to be forced out of their repossessed homes. 150 people staged a protest outside Parliament last week, but police kept them well away from the building. Stop Evictions platform spokeswoman Ada Colau said

they felt totally deceived by the new law and that the almost daily protests would continue. The European Court of Justice last month ruled that Spain’s harsh property repossession laws violated EU laws on consumer protection. It was not immediately clear if the new law was in full compliance with EU legislation.

The group used a highclass prostitute to lure six businessmen to a Paris hotel from Morocco in November 2012 with the promise of a profitable deal involving information technology products. They were then held captive in the hotel until they handed over around one million euros in cash to the gang. The suspected leader of the group, who is of Algerian origin, posed as the head of security of an Arab prince and organised a meeting with 15 jewellers and watchmakers at a Luxembourg store,

claiming his boss wanted to make a huge purchase. Members of the gang then held the businessmen at ransom at gunpoint and made off with 1.3 million euros in jewellery and watches and one million euros in cash. “To prevent the businessmen from escaping, the kidnappers used fake bomb vests which they said were loaded with explosives which would go off if they left the premises,” the Spanish police statement said. After the two kidnappings, the ringleader moved to

Malaga on Spain’s southern Costa del Sol. He was arrested after police stopped him during a routine road check and saw that he was wearing one of the high-end watches stolen in Luxembourg. Police seized 127,000 euros in cash as well as five luxury watches, six guns, three swords, three motorcycles, two cars and two bulletproof vests in various home searches carried out as part of the investigation carried out by police in Spain, France and Luxembourg.

Spanish Football Spanish Minimum Marriage age Raised Clubs back Tax Row

thE Spanish government has raised the minimum age for marriage in Spain from 14 to 16 in an effort to combat child abuse and exploitation. minister for Social services ana mato said the government also proposes to revise the age of sexual consent which currently stands at just 13, amongst the lowest in the world.

SPanISh football clubs owe the government 670 million euros in taxes, according to Spain’s Sports Council. miguel Cardenal, Council president said the amount of back taxes clubs owed was down from 750 million euros in 2012.

Cardenal told a Spanish radio station that the reduction was “a positive piece of data,’’ while insisting that the league must find a more profitable way to distribute its television revenues to ensure the survival of many clubs in financial difficulties. Cardenal said that he is pushing for a new law that would force clubs to sell the TV rights for games collectively, instead of individually as they do now. In 2011, Real Madrid and Barcelona each took in a reported 140 million euros, with the next biggest earner, Atletico Madrid, getting less than 50 million euros. “It’s very important because (TV money) is a principal source of financing for

clubs,’’ Cardenal said: “It is natural to think that the difference between what the biggest clubs receive and those that receive the least become smaller. There are teams in very difficult situations, and we are doing all we can to help them move into this new era in the best possible way.’’ UEFA has barred Malaga

from European competition for one season for not paying player wages and taxes on time as part of its effort to force clubs to clean up their finances. High debts have forced several Spanish clubs to seek bankruptcy protection in recent years. Deportivo La Coruna became the latest topflight club to do so in January of this year.

Under the previous law, in certain circumstances a child was allowed to enter into marriage with a court’s permission from the age of 14 The reforms are part of major government plans to combat the abuse of minors, and will be funded with a budget estimated at 5.2 billion Euros over the next four years. Critics of the legislation argues that this could result in children being forced into the union and open the way for exploitation, but children’s organisations have wel-

comed the reforms as a means to prevent child abuse and fight paedophilia more effectively. Mato told a news conference: “Although the age to enter into marriage in our country is 18 years, the law does allow in certain circumstances for marriage at 14. We are going to raise that age to 16,” adding added that the government will now work with political parties and children’s organisations to increase the age of consent in line with European Union nations.

Scottish Golfer Spain Grants US Marine Drowns Deployment

Golf loving Thomas Ross, 73, drowned after he slipped into the water on Sunday morning while playing the fifth hole at the Dunas de Donana course in Almonte, southern Spain. It is believed he was trying to retrieve a golf ball. The pensioner could not swim and, although he was rescued from the water alive, emergency services were unable to save him.

Mr Ross was staying at the four-star Carabela Beach and Golf Hotel as part of a group of six tourists. A worker at the hotel said staff and guests were shocked by the news, adding: “It is upsetting because

this sort of thing doesn’t usually happen here.” Local authorities took Mr Ross’s body to Huelva for a post-mortem examination. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: “We are aware of the death of a British national in the Huelva area of

Andalusia and have offered consular assistance to the family.” Boasting an 18-hole course with a driving range, putting green and tennis school, Dunas de Donana is billed as the “first ecological golf course in Europe”.

Spain’s Unemployment Hits 6 Million

Spain’s unemployment rate soared to 27.2% in the first quarter of the year, worse than economists had predicted. The official figures revealed that the number of those without jobs passed the six million mark for the first time, with 237,400 people added to the dire unemployment statistics over the period taking the total to 6.2 million.

Economists had predicted the unemployment rate would grow from 26% in the final quarter of 2012 to 26.5%. The figures were released by Spain’s National Statistics Institute against a backdrop of recession, which is expected to continue throughout 2013. The Spanish economy, the Eurozone’s fourth biggest, contracted by 1.4% last year, the second worst yearly slump since 1970 The Bank of Spain has predicted a 0.5% fall in GDP during the first three months of 2013 while the

International Monetary Fund’s recent World Economic Outlook report expects a contraction of 1.6% over the 12 months. Spain’s problems stem from the collapse of its once-booming real estate sector in 2008, which resulted in a facility of up to 100 billion euros (£85bn) in rescue funds being made available by its Eurozone partners. The government has introduced a series of financial and labour reforms and launched a battery of spending cuts and tax increases which have managed to reduce a swollen deficit but been blamed for choking economic growth. Despite these measures, Spain had the highest budget deficit among the 17 European Union countries that use the euro in 2012. A key fear behind Spain’s soaring unemployment crisis is that it is damaging the country’s prospects by consigning a generation of young people to financial hardship. The official statistics agency for the European Union, Eurostat, said earlier this month that youth unemployment in Spain

yolk, giant egg bamboo Towels no Makes a Fortune

an egg laid by the long extinct elephant bird has sold for more than double its estimate, fetching £66,675 at auction at Christie’s. the rare, partly-fossilised egg is 30cm high and 21cm in diameter, over 100 times the size of a chicken egg.

thEy are brand new to tenerife; in fact, they are brand new to anywhere! you may not have heard of Bamboo towels before, but they are here and they are fabulous.

Pure cotton can often feel a bit rough to the touch; not only will you find that the towels are exceptionally soft and absorbent, but you will also find that they are durable for everyday use.

ing mildew smell you get from other towels from time to time, and bathe in serenity. Bamboo fabric is created from the bamboo pulp and is 100% biodegradable. It is also anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic; bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and resists mould, mildew, fungi and dust mites.

The elephant bird looked like a heavily-built ostrich and grew to well over three metres (11ft) in height. The creature, possibly the largest bird ever, is believed to have been hunted to extinc-

tion between the 14th and 17th centuries in Madagascar. Although egg fragments can be found on the island, intact specimens are extremely rare.

The egg, which had been valued at £20-£30,000 before the sale, was one of the most celebrated lots at Christie’s Travel, Science and Natural History sale in London.

Primark Shame

he building that collapsed in Bangladesh killing at least 175 people, was ordered to be evacuated a day before it collapsed but clothing factories there continued working and ignored police instructions. The order was made after deep cracks became visible, and the managers of a bank that also had

an office in the building, evacuated their workers and suspended their operations.

However, the garment factories continued working, ignoring the instructions of officers, said police spokesman Mostafizur Rahman. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association had asked all the factories to suspend work starting on Wednesday morning, just hours before the building fell. “After we got the crack reports, we

asked them to suspend work until further examination, but they did not pay heed,” said Atiqul Islam, the group’s president. Survivors say

they were made to carry on working in the eight-storey block despite apparent concerns about its safety. It has emerged that a Primark supplier was based at the premises. The building, in Savar on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka, housed at least four factories producing clothes for leading Western retailers. The high street giant confirmed that one of its suppliers occupied the second floor of the building. Bosses at the retailer say they were “shocked and saddened” by the collapse. In a statement released on the company’s website, a Primark spokesman said: “The Company is shocked and deeply saddened by this appalling incident at Savar, near Dhaka, and expresses its condolences to all of those involved. Primark has been engaged for several years with NGOs and other retailers to review the Bangladeshi industry’s approach to factory standards. Prima-

China Boosts Iconic UK Brands

As Britain manages to avoid a triple-dip recession, a growing number of iconic ‘Made in Britain’ brands are focussing their attention on China.

Torsten Muller-Otvos, chief executive of Rolls-Royce, said the Chinese market is vital: “The Chinese are in love with Rolls-Royce,” he said as he showed off the company’s latest model, the Wraith, to the Asian market at the Shanghai Motor Show this week. “It is definitely good for Britain because 90% of our cars produced in Britain are exported and 10% roughly stay in the home market. That is basically very good for business and for the economy in Britain.” Rolls-Royce is now owned by Ger-

many’s BMW but the brand itself is still an iconic British brand. The company produced 3,575 vehicles in 2012 from its factory in Chichester, West Sussex. Although it won’t reveal how many of those went to China, along with the Middle East, China is a vital market. “When you look at the longterm forecast for so-called ultrahigh-net-worth individuals, this is forecast to grow 3-5% year by year,” Mr Muller-Otvos said. These ultra-high-net-worth individuals are people like Chen Anzhi, a businessman from Shanghai. He owns three Rolls-Royces: “British to me means very high quality of workmanship; attention to detail. I appreciate that,” Mr Chen said at the wheel of his bright green convertible Roller. “Look at my suit!”

he said, taking both hands off the steering wheel of his vastly expensive car. “I think I am wearing Dunhill today. Dunhill’s also British I think? I bought three of these Rolls-Royces. Presently I have two: a white one, this green one and I had a burgundy one but I gave it away.” Mr Chen represents one of a growing number of people in China with an eye-watering amount of money and a love affair for luxury and all things British: “I love British cars, British furniture, I love to go to London,” he said. “I enjoy the very luxury lifestyle, yes. Chinese and British - good friends!” Shanghai’s flagship stores, include more British names, including Burberry. “Fourteen years ago you rarely see BMW and Mercedes,” Mr Chen said. “Now you see Rolls-Royce and

rk will push for this review to also include building integrity. Meanwhile Primark’s ethical trade team is at this moment working to collect information, assess which communities the workers come from, and to provide support where possible.” Army Brigadier General Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder said late on Thursday that many people were still trapped in the building. The disaster came less than five months after a factory fire killed 112 people and underscored the unsafe conditions faced by Bangladesh’s garment workers. Workers said they had hesitated to enter the building on Wednesday morning because it had developed such large cracks a day earlier that it even drew the attention of local news channels. Just hours later, the building collapsed. Tens of thousands of people have gathered at the site, weeping and search-

you think ‘wow’! What happened here to the economy? It’s booming.” Jaguar Land Rover, another ‘Made in Britain’ brand, is increasingly popular in China. The Chinese market is now the company’s largest globally, allowing it to invest in new jobs in the UK and set up a new joint-venture project in China. At this week’s Auto Show in Shanghai, the new Jaguar F-Type and the new Range Rover Sport were both

ing for family members. Searchers worked through the night to get through the jumbled mess of concrete with drills or their bare hands, passing water and flashlights to those pinned inside the building. “I gave them whistles, water, torchlights. I heard them cry. We can’t leave them behind this way,” said fire official Abul Khayer. Abdur Rahim, who worked on the fifth floor, said a factory manager gave assurances that the cracks in the building were no cause for concern, so employees went inside: “After about an hour or so, the building collapsed suddenly,” Mr Rahim said. The next thing he remembers is regaining consciousness outside. On a visit to the site, Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir told reporters the building had violated construction codes and that “the culprits would be punished.”

unveiled to the Asian market. Range Rovers, often in garish colours with added body-kits, are a regular sight on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai. So, how much did it cost Mr Chen? “I knew that question was coming,” he laughs! “It’s close to $1.8m dollars. The price is crazy, I know, but after you drive this car, the enjoyment and pleasure, you just forget about the price.”

Focus, Frame and Fire

leaping Shark Steals Catch

Exeter to Lands End thE commander of the International Space Station (ISS), Commander Chris hadfield, has been sharing tips and showing how he and his team managed to take so many amazing pictures of Earth. In a four-minute video called Snapshots From Space, the astronaut points out the ISS is in orbit 400km (250 miles) above the blue planet.

That being the case he says a camera with a powerful lens is absolutely essential. The other key thing, he says, is to “focus, frame and fire!” With the ISS travelling so quickly - 8km or 5m per second - he tells viewers: “You cannot afford to waste a single moment.” Cmdr Hadfield, who arrived at the station on December 21st, last year, says one of the

most striking spectacles on Earth is the Sahara Desert: “Huge, barren, colourful rock ... no vegetation covering it up. You can see all the textures and varying shades of the world. The Sahara is beautiful,” he says. “We’re coming up on it now” he adds, and proceeds to take a series of breath-taking snaps. Cmdr Hadfield points out it is “lunchtime” on the Sahara and “the sun is shining right down, which means it is strong on the surface and it’s good to get the detail”. Something he looks for he says is “edges and borders and changes”, which the Sahara has in abundance. The beauty of taking photos from space, he concludes, is that “if something is not here this time, tomorrow it might be ... or maybe next week or maybe a month from now. “There’s not a race to get a picture ... you can be patient.”

a FIShErman got the fright of his life when a 9ft-long shark leapt out of the water right next to his kayak and stole his catch, and he had it all caught on camera.

Isaac Brumaghim was reeling in his mackerel tuna when the shark jumped up behind him and tried to steal the fish before going back under water. In the video, the panicked man was then seen trying to haul the tuna on board that he wanted for a competition. But it broke off his line and then disappeared. Mr Brumaghim, 37, put his fishing rod away, picked up

his paddle, shouted “Oh my God”, and starting paddling. He checked his hand for injuries before cheering, shivering and laughing in excitement. Recalling the experience off the Waianae Coast, Hawaii, he said of the shark: “He exploded under my kayak, his dorsal hit my kayak. It was just like a rush.” Many thoughts ran through his head: fear, excitement and disappointment at losing a big catch. “The shark scared me,” he said. “But I really needed that fish for my job.” His next thought was: “I hope I got that on camera.” He often goes fishing with a camera mounted to his kay-

ak. At home, he watched the footage and posted it online, not expecting it to generate the attention he is attracting at the moment. However, many people are said to be sceptical, accusing him of doctoring the footage. The father of three is still in shock. “I just have to laugh about it,” he said, hoping the experience at least brings some attention to the growing sport of kayak fishing and Aquahunters, the company he runs. He also said the experience was a humble reminder of the creatures he shares the ocean with: “You get the chills when it happens,” he said, “but it never scares me from going in.”

www.tenerife-weekly.com According to a report by UK Peace Index , the UK has seen a “substantial and sustained” fall in violent crime over the last decade, and violent crime in Britain is falling more rapidly than anywhere else in Western Europe.

The murder rate has halved since 2003, from 1.99 per 100,000 people to one per 100,000 with violent crime rate falling from 1,255 to 933 per 100,000 people, according to the research. Broadland, in Norfolk, was reported to be the most peaceful area at local authority level, followed by Three Rivers in Hertfordshire, South Cambridgeshire, East Dorset and Maldon in Essex. On the other hand, inner London boroughs were the least peaceful – ln the lead was Lewisham, followed by Lambeth, Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets. The most peaceful region in the UK was South East England and the least peaceful Greater London followed by Scotland and Northern Ireland. The least peaceful major urban centre in the UK was Glasgow, followed by London and then Belfast. The research covers the 10-year period from 2003 to 2012, and showed the rate of murders and manslaughter in Britain was recorded at its lowest level since 1978,

almost all categories of crime, including burglary and fraud, have dropped - except drug offences. The findings come from the Institute for Economics and Peace

(IEP), which defines peace as the absence of violence or fear of violence. Their report says: “Both crime and murder have fallen significantly: “The fall over the last decade has

crime rate is significantly higher than the European Union average.” The study acredited the falling crime rate to changes in policing, improved technology, as well as an ageing population, reduced alcohol consumption and the introduction of the minimum wage. The IEP also claims that violent crime costs the UK economy more than £124bn each year - £4,700 for every household. Murder alone costs the economy around £131m a year, which does not include lost productivity. The cost of theft and burglary adds up to around £7bn.

Soft Drinks Link To Raised Diabetes Risk

350 pensioners joined forces to record a charity single and video as part of a campaign to target loneliness. Residents of Anchor care homes and retirement housing properties contributed to the song ‘See Yourself’, inspired by comments from older people across England, Scotland and Wales.

All profits from sales will be donated to Contact the Elderly, a national charity that aims to combat loneliness and social isolation among the elderly. Pensioner David Speedy, 70, who plays the trumpet and his wife Denise, 69, both took part. They live at a sheltered housing scheme in Harpenden, near Luton. Grandmother-offour Denise said: “I first started singing at the age of 10 in school and then joined a church

choir. Music is everything to me. You can turn off and become a different person. Music just takes over. We feel very proud that we have contributed to a record which will hopefully raise lots of money for a worthwhile charity. We’re aiming to get into the top 40.” The track, in aid of national charity Contact the Elderly, is now available to pre-order as a CD on Amazon.co.uk and as a download on iTunes. It is released officially on June 3.

A study has found that drinking just one can of a sugary soft drink every day raises the relative risk of diabetes by around a fifth. Every extra can consumed increases the chances of having the disease by 22%, compared with drinking one can a month or less, researchers say.

The increase in risk only fell slightly after adjusting the findings to take account of body mass index (BMI). This suggests it was not simply being overweight that

led to the trend, said the researchers. Sugar-sweetened drinks appeared to have an effect on the body unrelated to obesity. The results of the study conducted in the UK and eight other European countries mirrors previous findings from mostly American research. A total of 350,000 people were questioned about their diet, including their consumption of sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened “light” soft drinks and juices. All were participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) study looking at links between diet and

cancer. Incidence of Type2 diabetes was compared with consumption of 12 fluid ounce servings of sweetened drinks, equivalent to a normal-sized can of Coca-Cola. The scientists, led by Dr Dora Romaguera, from Imperial College London, wrote in the journal Diabetologia: “This study corroborates the association between increased incidence of Type-2 diabetes and high consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks in European adults. Given the increase in sweet beverage consumption in Europe, clear messages on its deleterious effect on health should be given to the population.”

We wanted to make sure that you heard it from the four of us that we have decided to bring our time as a band to an end. It has been the most incredible journey over the last six years and we have achieved more things than we could have ever dreamed possible. Thanks to all of you guys, your support, your dedication and your love, you have changed our lives forever and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you.

gwyneth Paltrow named Most beautiful 2013 gWynEth Paltrow has topped People magazine’s annual list and been named as the world’s most beautiful woman of 2013. the 40-year-old Iron man star pushed ray actress Kerry Washington into second place and Les miserables’ amanda Seyfried into third.

Paltrow is married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin. They have two children, Apple, eight, and Moses,

seven. She said: “Around the house, I’m in jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t

high. We’re finishing with an arena tour - our third arena tour - and that is a massive achievement. The last five or so years have been nothing short of incredible. It has been an incredible journey.” Williams said: “I remember that moment in my bedroom when JLS was just an idea and I was determined to make this dream a reality. They say all good things come to an end and for us it just felt like it was

the right time to move forward and pursue different ventures.” JLS have sold more than 10 million records over the past five years, had five number one singles and won two Brit awards in 2010, as well as five MOBO awards. One Direction member Louis Tomlinson said on Twitter that he was sorry to hear about the end of his fellow boy band: “Sad to hear about JLS. Wish them all the best of luck really wear make-up. That’s what they’re used to.” And she said of her 36-year-old husband: “He’ll make a joke about it. If I’ve gotten fully dressed up, he’ll be like ‘Oh, wow! You’re Gwyneth Paltrow!’ because he’s used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair.” The US star credits her workout routine for keeping her looking young and feeling strong. Paltrow uses the Tracy Anderson Method, along with fellow fans which include Madonna, Nicole Richie, Courteney Cox, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. She explained: “When I first started, I thought ‘I’ll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!’, but now it’s like brushing my teeth, I just do it.” Paltrow also says she hopes to instil a good body image in her children, especially her daughter, who is becoming interested in things like make-up: “Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she’ll feel.” Paltrow can next be seen on the big screen when Iron Man 3 goes on general release across the UK today (Friday). She plays Pepper Potts, the girlfriend of Robert Downey Jr’s character Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.

in what they go on to do,” he said. Singer Marcus Collins said: “Can’t believe it! I’m devastated.” And fan @JoeyCottle said: “JLS split??! They are lovely lads, what a shame.” Despite going their separate ways, JLS - which stands for Jack the Lad Swing - have pledged to continue with their work related to a charitable foundation they established.

26 Cosmetic Procedure Controls Tenerife Weekly - 26th April - 2nd May 2013

goVErnmEnt health advisers have warned that injectable anti-wrinkle treatments are a “crisis waiting to happen”. a review of cosmetic procedures, ordered by the department of health, found that widely-used dermal fillers are as loosely regulated as toothbrushes and ballpoint pens, yet they have potentially serious side effects.

The report says the injections should in future be available only on prescription and used solely by qualified practitioners. In the US, where there are much tighter regulations, just 14 products are on the market. But in Europe there are 190 different types of filler on sale. The NHS medical director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, who led the independent review, said: “The most striking thing is that anybody, anywhere, anytime can give a filler to anybody else and that is bizarre. Dermal fillers - which are things you inject into people and put beneath their skin, and they stay there for a period of time - should be treated the same way as other types of implants.” The review of the cosmetic surgery industry was ordered after the PIP scandal, in which up to 40,000 British women were given breast implants that were filled with nonmedical grade silicone. Sir Bruce said the debacle had led to a “cacopho-

ny” of concern about the industry. His final report to ministers calls for a ban on financial inducements and time-limited deals that could influence vulnerable consumers. Patients need to be better informed by surgeons about the risks and potential benefits of a treatment, and there should be an insurance scheme to pay compensation when treatments go wrong, the report says. The report also criticised TV shows such as The Only Way is Essex (Towie) for trivialising cosmetic procedures, and companies that offer procedures as prizes or on a two- for-one basis. Health minister Dr Dan Poulter said there was currently a “significant risk of people falling into the

hands of cowboy firms or individuals whose only aim is to make a quick profit”. The UK’s largest chain of cosmetic surgery clinics, Transform, supports reform of the industry. But chief operating officer Pat Dunion said tighter rules for clinics will not prevent another PIP scare: “The whole PIP scandal was caused by a fraudulent manufacturer and a failure of the regulatory body to check the quality of the implants,” she said. “We urge the Government to address that now. There is a need for the regulatory bodies to come into hospitals and take sample implants and check the quality of them.” The Department of Health are due to announce a series of controls on the industry later this summer.

Costly Cigarette

a SmoKEr fined £75 for dropping a cigarette butt in the street had his fine increased to £560 after the case was transferred to court. gethin richards, 30, was stopped by an anti-litter patrol officer who saw him throw the cigarette as he used a cashpoint in in Pontyclun, rhondda Cynon taf, in Wales.

At the time, he was issued with a £75 fixed penalty ticket, but he failed to pay. His case was then referred to Pontypridd Magistrates’ Court where he was prosecuted under the Environmental Protection Act. Richards failed to attend so he was convicted in his absence and ordered to pay £400, plus £120

costs with an additional £40 victim surcharge. “Littering of any kind is illegal and is a common problem throughout the area of Rhondda Cynon Taf,” said Nigel Wheeler, from Rhondda County Council. “We all have a right to live in a clean, green environment and the council is committed to ensuring that those who jeopardise this with thoughtless acts will face the consequences. As well as creating unsightly environmental conditions, the clean-up costs leave a financial burden on the local authority and the taxpayer.” The council has collected £43,950 since April 2012 from 586 fixed penalty notices including dog fouling, fly-tipping and littering. Its dedicated litter patrol team are out in force on foot, bikes and in cars looking for offenders.

Tenerife Weekly - 26th April - 2nd May 2013

Kate – A Working Mum T he Duchess of Cambridge’s workload is set to double just months before she is due to give birth to her first child. Kate is taking on a further three patronages, taking her total to seven. The Duchess is already Patron of Action on Addiction and the National Portrait Gallery and is Royal Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and The Art Room. A statement from St James’s Palace said: “The Duchess will, over the coming months, undertake both private and public visits across the UK to these organisations.” Kate, who is now more than six months pregnant, has chosen Place2Be, SportsAid and the Natural History Museum to add to the four patronages she already has. A Palace aide said that her inspiration for choosing Place2Be came from an increased understanding of the need to intervene early with children who experience problems. “Through her other patronages like Action on Addiction, The Duchess of Cambridge realises early intervention is key for vulnerable children,” explained

the aide. Her experiences as an ambassador for the London 2012 games and her love of sport inspired her second choice, SportsAid, which helps Olympians and Paralympians by offering funding that helps young athletes focus on competitions. She is also giving her backing to the Natural History Museum. “The Duchess of Cambridge visited the museum a number of times as a child. She’s an avid supporter,” the statement from St James’s Palace added. “One of the key things she’s interested in, along with Princes

William and Harry, is protecting the natural world for future generations.” As her new patronages prepare to experience a new level of exposure which comes with Kate, they ready themselves too for other benefits. Benita Refson, chief executive of Place2Be, said: “What I hope this will do is help people understand and recognise how vital it is to support any charity or any work that’s going on with mental health. Along with that we hope will also come the support we need to sustain the services and reach more children across

Petrol Price Cuts

Four major supermarkets have cut the price of petrol and diesel. Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons all announced that they have reduced petrol and diesel by up to 2p a litre. The cut is in response to lower wholesale fuel prices.

Asda said that its customers would pay no more than 131.7p a litre for petrol and 135.7p a litre for diesel. Andy Peake, Asda’s petrol trading director said: “We’re pleased to be reducing the price of fuel yet again for all our customers. Our national price cap benefits everyone across the country, meaning that noone filling up at Asda will be forced to pay a premium for their fuel because of where they live.”

Peter Cattell, Tesco petrol category director, said: “Tesco is dropping the price of petrol and diesel by up to 2p per litre. As Britain’s biggest fuel retailer with 497 forecourts, more motorists make savings at Tesco petrol filling stations than any other fuel retailer.” Richard Crampton, Sainsbury’s head of fuel, said: “We are always looking at ways to help our customers save money and we know that fuel is a big part of

household budgets. Which is why we are pleased to announce we will cut petrol and diesel prices by up to 2p per litre across our 280 forecourts.” Morrisons petrol director Mark Todd added: “Wholesale prices are continuing to fall and that’s great news for customers because we’re able to keep passing these savings on to them. As always, we’ll continue to offer some of the lowest prices on the market.”

the country.” Compared to the Queen, who has more than 600 patronages, and the Duke of Edinburgh, who has 700, Kate’s seven may seem few in number. But she is adding to the list which shows her determination to return to work soon after her baby is born. Kate is not the only member of the royal family to announce new patronages. Princess Beatrice, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of seven, has become patron of the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre in Surrey: “I have benefited hugely

Daughter Will Be Queen

A new law means that Kate and William’s daughter will be Queen. The Queen will have to give her Royal Assent to the Bill which ends the historic principle that men take precedence over women, in line to the throne.

The Bill has received its third reading in the House of Lords, The Succession to the Crown Bill will be sent to Her Majesty “in the coming days or weeks”, a Cabinet Office spokesman said. The Bill also ends the ban on anyone in the line of succession marrying a Roman Catholic. It also cancels the provision requiring any descendant of George II to seek the Sovereign’s permission to marry. Instead, only the first six people in line to the Throne will be required to do so. The new rules ending archaic Primogeniture applies to any baby born in the line of succession, since the Bill was announced in Australia, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in October 2011. It means regardless of whether the Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to a boy or a girl, her first child will be the Monarch after Prince William. The other Realms of the Commonwealth where The Queen is head of state are taking parallel steps to make the changes to the laws of succession in their countries. Once every Realm has the necessary measures in place the changes will be implemented simultaneously across the Commonwealth. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who introduced the Bill in the House of Commons, said: “This is a truly historic moment. I am proud that the British Parliament has taken this step to end centuries of religious and gender discrimination. Once the other Realms of the Commonwealth have taken the necessary steps, we will move to commence the new law together.”

from the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre and I am looking forward to supporting them in giving a chance to others to benefit from their experience and teaching. I would not have been able to achieve my academic results

without the support I received from the centre.” The princess passed eight GCSE’s, three A-levels and graduated with a 2:1 in History and the History of Ideas from Goldsmiths College, London.

Stillborn Remains Found in Laundry Basket

A Minnesota hospital says the remains of two stillborn babies may have been sent to a laundry service. Regions Hospital of St Paul said it believes the second set of remains were in the same basket of linens that held the remains of another stillborn baby. The linen had been sent to a laundry in Red Wing.

On Wednesday of last week, the hospital discovered a stillborn at 22 weeks gestational age had been found by laundry service workers. The hospital then announced on Friday that the remains of a stillborn at 19 weeks gestational age were also in the same basket of linen. Chief nursing officer Chris Boese said: “As we investigated, our records indicated that there should have been another set of remains in the same location. We have now ruled out that those remains went to the funeral home or to another location.” Ms Boese added: “A tragic human error was made and we believe both sets of remains were mistaken as empty linens and placed in the laundry at the same time by a hospital worker.” Hospital CEO Brock Nelson said there were no words to describe how “deeply saddened we are and how sorry we are for this terrible mistake. Words are not adequate. We have

reached the families to apologise and offer any support that we can,” Mr Nelson added in a statement. The hospital said it is investigating and has taken steps to ensure this does not happen again. Regions Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the Twin Cities, handles about 2,500 births every year, and about 20 to 25 of the infants are stillborn, Ms Boese said. Families of those infants are given the choice of making their own arrangements or allowing the hospital to work with community groups that take care of the burial or cremation.

Woodstock Star Dies

rIChIE havens, star of the historic 1969 Woodstock festival, has died at the age of 72 after a heart attack at his home in Jersey City, new Jersey.

The US musician emerged from the New York folk scene in the 1960s and went on to sing for the Dalai Lama and President Bill Clinton, “Beyond his music, those

who have met Havens will remember his gentle and compassionate nature, his light humour and his powerful presence,” his family said in a statement. The eldest of nine children, Havens began his singing career in local groups before moving to Greenwich Village in the late 1950s where he performed as a poet and an artist, immersing himself in the folk music scene. Known for his acoustic gui-

tar-playing and soulful covers of songs by The Beatles, Bob Dylan and The Who, Havens used his music to champion the causes of personal freedom and brotherhood. The musician’s improvised version of gospel song Motherless Child evolved into Freedom at Woodstock and became the anthem of the 60s hippie generation. He opened the festival and played for three hours, wowed the crowd and proved a breakthrough, with the inclusion of the song on the Woodstock concert film broadening his audience appeal. A different version of Freedom was included on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s award-winning 2012 slavery era movie Django Unchained. Havens sang at President Clinton’s 1993 inauguration, performed several times for the Dalai Lama, he also gave a show-stopping performance of Just Like A Woman at the all-star Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert in 1992. Other hits included versions of Beatles classics Here Comes The Sun and Strawberry Fields Forever, and The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again. The singer branched out into acting in the 1970s, appearing in The Who’s rock opera Tommy and taking the lead role in the Othelloinspired 1974 movie Catch My Soul.

Dawn French Marries again

daWn French has married for the second time. She wed her partner mark Bignell in a hotel wedding in Fowey, near St austell, with celebrity guests including comedy partner Jennifer Saunders, tV presenter Sue Perkins, actress Kathy Burke and screenwriter richard Curtis.

The nuptials are said to have taken place in Fowey Hall, which is described on its website as “one of the most impressive family hotels in Cornwall” and “sophisticated yet uncomplicated, luxurious yet laid back, grand yet comfy”. Cornish born and bred, French owns a home in Fowey. French has reportedly been seeing Mr Bignell, the CEO of a drug rehabilitation charity, for about a year-and-a-half. She was

previously married to fellow comedian Lenny Henry, but they divorced in 2010. Henry and French met on the alternative comedy circuit of the early 1980s. They married in London in October 1984 and have an adopted daughter, Billie. Speaking on Radio 4’s Desert Islands Discs last year, she talked about the end of her marriage to Henry, saying: “Those last few months were pretty much like the first few months, we were

good friends. It was a tribute to the way we’d been married the way we accomplished it.” Although French is best known for her comedy partnership with Saunders, she has been a hit with TV audiences around the world as Reverend Boadicea Geraldine Kennedy in The Vicar Of Dibley. Last month she announced she would be joining former Spice Girl Melanie Brown on the judging panel of Australia’s Got Talent.

lOki COUlD be neXT CROW

tom hiddleston, British thespian and avengers star might be swapping his horned helmet for goth togs and eye liner as he is in early talks to play murdered rock musician turned undead vigilante, Eric draven in the remake or” reimagining” of “the Crow”.

The Crow first came to the big screen back in 1994, based on James ‘O’ Barr comic book of the same name, he wrote the story to help him deal with the death of his girlfriend. It starred the late Brandon Lee, son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Brandon was tragically killed in an accident on set during his onscreen murder, when an inexperienced and rushed filmcrew used live rounds instead of industry dummy rounds, removing the gunpowder but leaving the live primer, when fired this caused the bullet to tear through his abdomen and lodge in his spine causing massive blood loss.

“new girl” named as bomb suspect!

KooKy actress and star of the US comedy series new girl got the shock of her life when she was named as a suspect in the Boston marathon bombing.

Lee’s uncompleted scenes had to be shot with a body double, onto which the actors face was “grafted” using computer generation-one of the earliest instances of this technique. Although Relativity Media, the studio involved have not yet confirmed casting, Hiddleston has sent them a make-up test that he did himself and is now scheduled for a studio make up test, as it will be very important to the dedicated fans that he looks

the part. The original Crow movie was a critical and commercial success and spawned 3 sequels, each featuring new characters (and actors) that were resurrected as a new Crow to seek vengeance. They rapidly declined in quality and a TV series starring Mark Damascus in the same role played by Brandon Lee (Eric Draven) was cancelled after only one season. Production is scheduled to begin this autumn.

So who did the child pictures from last week belong to? the answers from left to right are; rihanna, yes that is me! - Before anyone assumes I think a lot of myself- I didn’t say “famous” or “celebrity” just singer/artist!.... I wonder if I managed to throw many people with that one! Lady gaga, Eminem

Savages

The mistake occurred during a news broadcast on a local Fox affiliate station Fox 4 Dallas- Fort Worth when newscaster Peter Ogburn read his close caption (autocue) which read; “Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel” Of course the actress had nothing to do with the disgusting attack- it should have read Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev the real suspect who has since been arrested. Both the news anchor and Zooey had something to say about the boob, with Ogburn tweeting “oh come on Fox!!” with a pic of his Screen and Deschanel tweeting; @ZooeyDeschanel Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL! “@joelmchale: Oh my RT @peterogburn: pic.twitter.

hate that thong!! Sorry, should have read thing!

Miraculously the young man was unharmed and was rescued by fireman who used a pulley system to free him.

Footage of the rescue can be seen on YouTube. ‘This bell is very old and should have been treated with respect,’ said a temple spokesman. The youth however was unapologetic and unaware of what a lucky escape he really had; ‘It’s a bell, it’s supposed to be rung,’ ‘They should have made sure it was safe.’.......Bell end!

ItaLIan police seized 20 tons of marijuana with an estimated street value of £250m after boarding a ship in the mediterranean. the haul, thought to be the biggest ever of its kind at sea, was intercepted by two Italian customs vessels after it sailed close to the island of Pantelleria.

Officials said they had been informed that the freighter, called Adam, was carrying the marijuana after receiving intelligence from the Maritime Analysis Operations Centre (MAOC) in Lisbon, which deals with drugs shipments within the European Union. The operation began with officers in Morocco watching as the ship was loaded with more than 800 packets of the drug weighing 26kg, which were wrapped in sacks and on the top deck under tarpaulin covers. The ship was tracked by radar for several days but no action could be taken until the Adam entered Italian waters, just off

the coast of Pantelleria, an island off the coast of Sicily. Footage taken from a coastguard plane and released by Italian customs officials shows a ship drawing alongside the Adam as it eventually comes to a halt and officers then going on board and carrying out a search that led to the drugs being found. Lt Col Cristino Alemanno said: ‘’To my knowledge this is the biggest haul of its kind ever seized in the Mediterranean. To describe it as a small mountain of hashish would not be inaccurate. We had intelligence that the drugs were onboard the ship but we were unable to intervene until it entered Italian waters, which eventually it did by half a mile close to the island of Pantelleria and that’s when we went alongside and boarded the Adam. The ship had been followed for some time but we needed a certain amount of luck as until it entered Italian waters there was nothing we could do.” Lt Col Alemanno added that the freighter belonged to an Egyptian shipping line and was registered in the Co-

moros Islands but requests there for assistance in stopping it went unanswered: “The request to the authorities there was made several times but there was no reply and so when it entered Italian waters that was when we acted.” The ship was bound for Tobruk in Libya and it was later escorted to the port of Trapani in Sicily, where a full search was also scheduled to take place, including below the waterline and in the inside decks. Officials believe the drugs were destined for the European market and the crew of six Syrians are being held in custody on suspicion of international drugs trafficking. Members of the MAOC include Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, Holland and Italy. Set up in April 2006, it has been involved in several drug seizes at sea in operations that covers thousands of square miles of ocean, from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa to Norway. More than 50 tons of cocaine and 40 tons of marijuana have been seized since the unit started work.

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

Crisis In Spain!

The Spanish crisis has been a long one and it is still hitting people hard. During my stay in Madrid, you could be forgiven for thinking that the country was going through a boom time. The markets were jammed with people buying food and the street cafes and bars were rammed with people buying drinks and eating out. The price of a pint of lager in one bar that I visited was 6 euros. It didn’t seem to stop people from knocking them back with great relish.

The shops were bustling with people falling over each other to buy clothes and souvenirs and anything you could imagine, so where is the crisis. Is it all in the imagination? The plain and simple answer is NO! It is very real and it makes itself evident in various ways. On every street corner, at every entrance to the tube and on the steps of every church, there are people begging for money. There are buskers everywhere. At one point a man got onto the train and put a photograph of himself and his family onto every seat with a note saying that he had been reduced to begging people in order to feed his young family. My heart went out to him,

but by the time this man got to me, I had become numb to the beggars. It was a painful experience and I hope that things improve soon. It seemed ridiculous to me that a man could be begging for money for food outside a bar that charges 7 euros for a normal glass of wine. The famous plaza Mayor was completely surrounded each night with cardboard box housing that the poor people would erect to sleep in. Although the city centre was bustling and people were spending, some of the places to visit were obviously suffering. Madrid Zoo, which is a wonderful example of a modern happy zoo, full of amazing animals and rare

species was practically empty. I arrived when the animals were being fed and we saw all of them in good form. The lack of people was quite worrying. There can’t have been any more than 200 people there. The Zoo is enormous and we hardly saw a soul. We couldn’t find anywhere to eat in the Zoo. All of the shops were closed. The only one that was open was at the entrance. A beef burger cost 13 euros! I paid the price because the money all goes back into looking after the animals but I couldn’t help thinking that there would be a few more people eating in the cafe if it was a little more sensibly priced. My visit to Warner World was a sad experience too. We asked so many people where it was and how to get there.

Back To Work And Birthday

No-one seemed to know. It was almost as though it was a national secret. We finally got there via underground and then a bus. The place was dead. It was my biggest disappointment. Three roller coasters, three water rides and again most cafes and bars were closed. There were a few other attractions, but nothing to write home about. The big movie stunt show was cancelled that day and I aimlessly wandered around wondering what I had paid 39 euros for. The lack of people in these places has to be a di-

rect result of the economic crisis. Many parts of Madrid are covered in graffiti. This is particularly evident at night when all the shop shutters are down. The place looked like something out of a futuristic movie where society has lost its way. I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday. I was determined to. I had plenty of money with me and for that week, I did whatever I wanted to. I just hope that this fantastic city manages to drag itself up again soon.

A Right Royal Palace

Now the holidays are over, it was a real pleasure to get back on stage at VIVO and perform. Next month, Bitter and Twisted will be ten years old and we are busy putting together a special night to celebrate our Birthday.

It will be a special Gala night with some new numbers and some things that we have never performed at Vivo before. It seems that there is always something else to do. I love it. We love performing new numbers and having the chance to put together special themed nights. I hope you can join us for our special night on Saturday May 18th. Keep an eye on the Tenerife Weekly for full details.

I went to Madrid with the intention of visiting the Royal Palace. What an opulent and beautiful place it is.

The entrance fee was nominal and we were able to visit the throne room and the main banquet hall. There were chandeliers of crystal that were bigger than my kitchen and it was a breath-taking sight to behold. I couldn’t help thinking though, that being a King or Queen must be a very lonely job. It wouldn’t do for me, they can have it!

haRRy TakeS On The SOUTh POle

Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly PrInCE harry will take part in a race to the South Pole with a team of wounded British servicemen and women. the 28-year-old will race teams from the United States and the Commonwealth in the 208-mile (335km) Walking With the Wounded South Pole allied Challenge in november and december this year.

Speaking at a conference in London where the teams were announced, Prince Harry said: “It just remains for me to say to Soldier On Canada, Soldiers To Summits from the US and Soldier On Australia - welcome to the party. As a member of the British team, I will have a brew ready for you when you join us at the Pole.” Harry is the event’s patron and took part in the charity’s trek to the North Pole in 2011, confirmed he will be competing as part of Team Glenfiddich. He missed out on a bid to conquer Mount Everest with the group last year due to military commitments and he withdrew early from the successful North Pole expedition to attend his brother’s wedding.

Question one: Which sea is between Korea and Shanghai? Question two: For what was Christian Dior famous for? Question three: Which English County is called the Garden of England? Question Four: In which county is Dartmoor? Question Five: In the television series, what was the name of the Lone

Ranger’s horse?

Question Six: According to the traditional song, what did my true love give to me on the 7th day of Christmas?

Question Seven: What is the name of the channel between the North and South islands of New Zealand?

Question Eight: Who was the fourth wife of Henry the Eighth? Question nine: What is the capital of Belgium? Question ten: Of which pop group was Roger Daltry the lead singer? Question Eleven: In which country are the Wicklow Mountains? Question twelve: How many acres in a square mile?

Of the South Pole race he said: “The format may be different. The scale is certainly different. But the aim remains the same - to enable our wounded to do what they and all other servicemen and women do better than anyone else I know - meet a challenge head-on and overcome it and inspire others to do the same. Ladies and gentlemen, these men and women have given their all in the cause of freedom, in our cause. That they should once again step into the breach - this time facing down the extreme physical and mental challenges of trekking to the South Pole - just underlines their remarkable qualities.” Captain Wales, as he is known in the Army, will race in Team Glenfiddich with Sergeant Duncan Slater, 34, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan in 2009; Major Kate Philp, 34, who lost her left leg after a bomb blast in 2008; Captain Guy Disney, 31, who lost his right leg in a rocket attack in 2009; and Captain Ibrar Ali, who lost his right arm in a roadside bomb in 2007. Vivo are supporting our military ladies and gentlemen on Saturday 27th April with a Help For Heroes fund raiser. Check out page 24 for more details.

gardening and Nature By Steve Andrews - aka Green Bard

Herb Gardening in Tenerife Fresh herbs are usually the best for cooking with and adding to our meals and here on Tenerife the warm climate really brings out the flavour and aroma in the ones we grow ourselves. Most of the plants that are grown in herb gardens in the UK and elsewhere in the world will do fine here and many will even do better.

many varieties of this popular herb and the leaves are used to add flavour to a wide variety of cooked dishes as well as being an important ingredient of stuffing. Tenerife even has its own wild form of the plant. Canary Islands Sage (S. canariensis) can be found forming large clumps where it grows on waste-ground and in dry and rocky areas. It is an important herb in traditional herbal medicine of the Canary Islands and is used for its antiseptic properties and as a mouthwash. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a commonly grown herb that is used both in cooking and for its medicinal properties, It is added to many dishes, including soups and casseroles, and in herbal medicine it is used to treat eczema, psoriasis and ringworm, as well as for mouth infections. There are many other varieties and species of Thyme, and here in the Canary Islands where all types of the herb are known as “Tomillo,” there are a number of species in the genus Micromeria that grow wild and

Rosemary

Culinary And Medicinal Uses Of Cilantro

In the kitchen: Coriander or Cilantro leaves are good in salads and as a garnish. Leaves and seeds can be added to curries, pickle and chutneys, as well as ingredients in Middle Eastern, Indian and South

Fennel Flowers terest though, it is a member of the vast family known as the Apiaceae, to which the Coriander also belongs.

Coriander in a pot on a balcony

If you don’t have a proper garden but only a balcony or terrace it is still possible to grow herbs in pots and other containers. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) or Cilantro as many call it today is perfect for this. I find the seeds will germinate if simply scattered on wet compost and soon produce plenty of the aromatic and spicy foliage which is so good as an ingredient of curries and many other dishes. You really can’t beat fresh home-grown Coriander for flavour! The herbs of that old hit song Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, are all easily grown here too and the subtropical climate really helps to bring out the best flavours and aromas from these popular garden herbs. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) will form an evergreen and fragrant

bush and can be grown from cuttings. It provides a classic flavouring for many meat dishes and an infusion of Rosemary leaves makes a good hair rinse. The dried herb can be added to pot-pourri. You can often see Rosemary growing in gardens around the island. Sage (Salvia officinalis), like Rosemary can be propagated by cuttings and forms a small bush. There are

Sage

Canary Islands Lavender are also called this. Strictly speaking these Micromeria species, such as M. varia should be known as Canarian Savoury and not as Thyme, though they are very similar being small shrubs with tiny aromatic leaves. Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is probably too well known to need much of a description. This popular culinary herb that is used as a garnish and in cooked dishes is rich in Vitamin A and C. As a matter of in-

American cuisine. The seeds are used as flavourings for sweet dishes, bread and cakes. In herbal medicine: The leaves and seeds of Coriander are good for the digestion and stimulate the appetite. In Indian traditional medicine decoctions made from the seeds were thought to be a Smallpox preventive. The essential oil of the herb is antibacterial and antifungal and is used by the pharmaceutical industry. Coriander is believed to lower cholesterol levels.

which we use in curries and to make tea from. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) grows well in the Tenerife garden and is often available from garden centres. This herb is well known for its attractive purple flowers and wonderful scent. There is a Canary Islands Lavender too which is the species L. canariensis and it can be found growing wild in many parts of Tenerife in the semi-desert areas along the coast and on volcanic hillsides. It is a very pretty plant again but is sadly lacking in perfume though it has its place in traditional herbal medicine. Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is another very popular herb that we use in our cooking and that grows very well on Tenerife. It is easy to grow in pots and is often sold by garden centres and florists. Or you can buy the seeds in packets. The Internet is an excellent source of seeds for most garden herbs too. One more herb that is often grown in gardens here on Tenerife but not back in Britain is the succulent Aloe Vera. It is too cold and wet for it in the UK but the warm climate here is just right for it.

The flowers of most species in this family are carried in umbels. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is also in this family and grows wild on Tenerife in many places in the north of the island. It is very popular as a herbal tea and known as “Hinojo” in Spanish. This herb has delicate feathery foliage that smells of Aniseed and tall stems that carry umbels of yellowish flowers which in turn become the brown seeds

Aloe Vera

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

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

Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

LaWyErS representing a British grandmother on death row in Bali have lodged an appeal against her sentence. Lindsay Sandiford, 56, was sentenced to death by firing squad by a court in Bali in January for taking £1.6m of cocaine on to the island last year. her execution has been scheduled for may 7.

Last Monday Sandiford lost an appeal asking the UK Government’s to fund her legal challenge against her death sentence. The Court of Appeal in London heard she needs about £8,000 to fight on and so far only £2,000 has been raised. But the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) refused to fund her case as a matter of Government policy. The FCO reiterated the UK’s opposition to the death penalty and said it had repeatedly made representations to the Indonesian government about the case. On Tuesday her lawyer, Fadillah Agus, lodged a last-ditch appeal to the country’s top court. “I lodged an official notification to appeal to the Supreme Court through the district court in (Bali’s capital) Denpasar.” If she makes the deadline and the Supreme Court also rejects her appeal, she can then seek a judicial review of the decision from the same court. After that, only the president can grant her a reprieve. Sandiford lost her first appeal to the Bali High Court on April 8 after a closed hearing by three judges who decided the original court’s sentence had been “accurate and correct”. Balinese police said Sandiford was at the centre of a drugs-importing ring involving three other Britons.

But the grandmother, originally from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, says she was forced to transport the drugs to protect her children she claims their safety was at stake. She received the death sentence despite prosecutors asking only for a 15-year jail term, after she was accused of damaging the image of Bali. Sandiford told those who have donated money towards her appeal that she has been humbled by the experience as she deals with “the ultimate emotional rollercoaster ride”. In a message sent to supporters, she said: “I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and caring. I’ve always been an independent person and I hate not to be able to pay my way. So for me this is a very humbling experience having to rely on the kindness of strangers and (I’m) very deeply touched. I am trying to help myself. As you are probably aware the Government won’t assist despite pontificating that they are opposed to the death penalty. I knit and have just finished a piece that I’m hoping to auction to assist paying for my local lawyer and his assistants. They are really good people along with the enormous debt I owe to Reprieve for their support and simple caring. I know I have been difficult to deal with as the situation I am in leads to the ultimate emotional rollercoaster ride. They have been brilliant.” She also thanked UK charity Prisoners Abroad for “quietly” supporting her with funds for drinking water and food: ”I will never be able to express the joy they gave to me,” she said. Sandiford claims that she is appealing “first and foremost” so she can meet her granddaughter, who was born in December.

Capricorn 22 december to 19 January

You may be short of cash on Monday. Take steps to generate some extra income. Offer to walk a neighbor’s dog. One door may close so that another one can open on Thursday. Pat yourself on the back on Friday. You made the right choice regarding a certain situation. Life could throw an obstacle in your path when the Sun opposes your ruler Saturn on Sunday. Never fear - you’ll overcome any challenge that you encounter this weekend.

Flaming Saddles!

as you may well know, some of the staff at the Vivo group has just had their holidays. I took a short break to the Big apple and I came across this fantastic bar called “Flaming Saddles”. It was a fantastic country and Western Saloon style bar right in the centre of new york! this place was the best ever and I strongly encourage anybody that travels over there to visit this place. Whilst there, I got chatting to Jackie the owner, and I got to sample their award winning Frito Pie! I’ve never been to the US before never mind to the Wild, Wild West, so here was a cuisine that was going to be different! It is something I want to share with you. I have adapted it so you can make it with your favourite tortilla Chips; in the U.S. they use Fritos. there are so many things that you can do with a good Chilli but this is really cool. It is basically a Chilli Pie, layered in the style of a lasagne, between Frito corn chips (tortilla chips to us)!

To start here is a basic Chilli recipe for you: 500g minced beef 1 onion, chopped 1 can chopped tomatoes 1 can tomato Frito or ½ can tomato puree 1 can kidney beans 1 1/2 cups water 1 pinch chilli powder 1 pinch garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a large saucepan over medium heat, fry the beef and onion until meat is browned and onion is tender. Add the chopped tomatoes, Frito or tomato puree, beans and water. Season with the chilli powder, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. (Add more or less chilli as you require!)

the Frito Pie: Ingredients:

Pre-made Chilli German Mustard Good sized bag of Tortilla chips (the flavour of your choice) Jalapeno Peppers, sliced (optional) Sour cream Fried egg Grated cheddar cheese

Method: Individual portions! Fill a deep plate, bowl or a pie bowl with Tortilla Chips and evenly cover the bottom of it. Drizzle with Mustard. Next ladle the chilli over the chips completely covering and then top with the grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Add the sliced Jalapenos if you want and then top it with a fried egg, season with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper if you wish. – Simply delicious!

Motoring News

By Lingy

Jaguar XF Sportbrake New upgrades for the Ford Mondeo During the summer of 2012, cycling became a sport the majority tuned into. One man was dominating the biggest cycling event in the world, the Tour de France. That man was Bradley Wiggins who later became the first Brit to win the yellow jersey.

Apart from the famous sideburns, one thing that we saw a lot of was the Team Sky support vehicles. Logo’d up in the black and blue colours of the major sponsor, the estate cars were seen following the peloton as they covered over 2,000 miles across France. The Jaguar XF Sportbrake was the car used by the team and based on the XF saloon it was eagerly anticipated when it was unveiled in March 2012. The Crystal Blue Metallic coloured Sportbrake beemed like a flare in the Heritage Museum event area at Gaydon, just a stone’s throw from the Jaguar and Land Rover headquarters.

The defining front grille with the cat badge dominated the mean-looking front of the car along with the LED daytime running lights. Now I wouldn’t say it’s the most stunning car on the market, but it is after all an estate. Estates aren’t about looks, all about practicality and this has it in abundance. On opening the car door, you are greeted by the Jaguar emblazoned door sill and sitting in you feel like you’re in a private jet. The centre console comes up quite high almost encasing you in the cabin. When you first got in you stare down at a very dark console, the silver plated gear change dial was flush with the rest of it and it makes you wonder how it would work. But once you press the start button, the vent will automatically spin open, the dial pushes itself up and it feels like a cinematic experience. The estate car has suddenly taken on another identity and it feels like you are sitting in the luxury saloon. The charcoal coloured leather

seats with a cream insert mixed with the carbon veneer make it smart and the cream stitching on the leather on the doors make it well thought out and all about the detail. The Jaguar embossed steering wheel stares at you, while the blue-green dials are simple yet ooze premium. The 7-inch touchscreen also makes using bluetooth, iPod and navigation much easier to use. The powered opening and closing tailgate reveales the boot space, with seats down is 1,675 litres so perfect for loading and that’s why buyers flocked to this car. They wanted a luxurious Jaguar, but also top of the list was the space to go with it.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake Engine and driving

The 2.2-litre i4 Turbocharged Diesel produces 163 hp and with a top speed of 124 mph isn’t sluggish. It is a fairly quiet engine, a plus point and has 8 speed automatic transmission, standard on all models. With Jaguar only producing diesel models, there is a 200hp version of this 2.2-litre and also a 3.0-litre V6 with 240hp and 271hp. The RWD can be thrown into corners without it batting an eyelid and has you believing you’re driving something that isn’t an estate. JaguarDrive Control™ with Sport Mode and Winter Mode adds to the driving experience dependent on the roads you’re driving and the self-levelling rear air suspension keeps the ride smooth regardless of whether you have ten bags of concrete in the boot.

Airless Tyre To Launch In 2014

Ford has announced upgraded versions of its Mondeo executive car range this follows on the success of the Ford Mondeo Zetec Business Edition. The new versions are the Mondeo Graphite and the Mondeo Titanium X Business Edition these new editions are competitively priced and have high equipment levels. Both models are equipped with the 2.0-litre Duratorq diesel engine that offers CO2 emissions from 119g/ km, increasing combined fuel economy to over 61mpg. The latest Mondeo is the first Ford to feature headlamps with LED high-beam, low-beam and signal lighting these are quicker to illuminate, more durable and more energy-efficient than traditional filament bulb headlamps, the all-new Mondeo’s LED headlamps turn with the steering and adapt beam projection to vehicle speed providing a greater depth of illumination at high speeds and a wider field of vision at slower speeds. The new Mondeo Graphite also has LED rear tail lights plus other head turning exterior features such as 17in 5x2 spoke alloy wheels, body

An airless tyre will be launched in the USA next year by all-terrain vehicle specialist Polaris, the Mail Online has reported. The benefit, of course, is that this tyre cannot puncture.

What a boost for the military, rescue services, and thrill seekers who take vehicles over extremely rough terrain. The tyre’s solid rubber tread surrounds a honeycomb-shaped plastic that – in turn – encloses a steel core. The latter connects the wheel to the vehicle. The honeycomb-web bends to absorb obstacles such as rocks, logs and curbs. What a contrast to the traditional set-up whereby the tyre compresses significantly and the wheel maintains most of its shape. This revolutionary product has been tested over hundreds of hours – and five-thousand miles – and proven to be tougher than its traditional counterparts.

colour bumpers, door handles and door mirrors and a chrome upper grille surround. The interior is equally impressive with CD/MP3 audio system, Bluetooth® hands-free and voice control, air conditioning, ‘Quickclear’ heated front windscreen, electrically-operated front and rear windows with global opening/closing, power rear door and window child locks and a leather-trimmed steering wheel The new Titanium X Business Edition also offers advanced levels of technology and luxury, the interior boasts full Windsor leather seats, 7in touchscreen navigation, DAB radio and USB connectivity, Bluetooth® hands-free and voice control, air conditioning with dual zone electronic temperature control, Ford Power Start, aluminium interior trim and front door scuff plates, electrically-operated heated and folding door mirrors with

It therefore still operates when thirty percent of its honeycombweb is damaged. This is another striking contrast to today’s rubber. The airless tyre started life with Resilient Technologies which was engaged by the Department of Defence. However, the company has been bought by all-terrain specialist Polaris who will now market the tyre. I suspect its rivals will soon launch similar products.

The Future Of Tyres

The Polaris tyre is for the off-road market but surely the concept could be expanded to road cars. Imagine that. No punctures – ever. This could make life safer as thousands of accidents have been caused by air leaks and inappropriate tyre pressures. Furthermore nobody would have to carry spare wheels, jacks, pumps, and gas repair kits. Future generations will laugh when they learn that old-style

puddle light, automatic headlights and rain sensing windscreen wipers, auto-dimming rear mirror, ambient lighting and front footwell illuminations plus leather steering wheel and hand brake covers. Ford Mondeo 2.0 litre Duratorq diesel engine Ford have refined the calibration of the Mondeo’s 2.0-litre Duratorq diesel engine and optimised aerodynamics to achieve 119g/ km targeted CO2 emissions from the five-door version and120g/km from the estate. These lower CO2 levels qualify for annual road tax (VED) of £30 which is down from £105 which is a great saving. Barb Samardzich, Ford Europe Product Development vice president said “our engineers worked hard to deliver a leading combination of power and low CO2 emissions that offers customers great real-world fuel efficiency and Mondeo’s famous driving quality.”

tyres – those delicate things that travelled at high speed over rough and sharp surfaces – were filled with oxygen and nitrogen. But there might be a downside. Breakdown specialists such as the Automobile Association replace thousands of flat tyres every year. it is one of the most common problems motorists face along with dead batteries, misplaced keys, and a lack of fuel. However, fewer motorists would require their spare wheel and that could lead to mechanics twiddling their thumbs. Redundancies might follow. Furthermore, new tyre sales could fall as a higher percentage would be replaced when worn rather than damaged. Those who fix holed tyres might struggle too. But this has always been the case. As the world evolves skills become redundant and new ones replace them. How many people can shoe horses these days? So, bring on the airless tyre - it could save lives.

Season Of The Witch Channel 4 - 21:00 - 22:45 a middle ages fantasy actionadventure starring nicolas Cage, ron Perlman and Claire Foy.

Sickened by the carnage of their Crusade, knights Behman (Cage) and Felson (Perlman) have deserted and returned to Europe, where they are shocked to find the Black Death ravaging the land. In the town of Marburg they meet Cardinal D’Ambroise (Christopher Lee), who claims to know both the cause - a girl who’s suspected of witchcraft (Foy) - and the solution to the pestilence: a ceremony at a far distant monastery.

But there remains the tricky question of getting the girl there without her unleashing supernatural malevolence upon them (if witch she indeed be). Still, as deserters, they have little choice but to accept their mission and so off they set, on a journey that will prove much darker and more terrifying than they could possibly guess. The movie definitely falls within the ‘guilty pleasure’ category - but if you’re up for a bit of 14th-century silliness, with a few demonic scares thrown in for good measure, then you’re in for a treat.

alonso’s hopes For home Win

FErrarI’S Fernando alonso is looking forward to better luck in his home Spanish grand Prix next month after hopes of victory in Bahrain last Sunday were wrecked by a faulty rear wing.

The double world champion had arrived at the Sakhir circuit after winning in China and was running in second place when the DRS system on the car’s wing jammed open, forcing an unscheduled pitstop. He then had to race for 50 laps without the benefit of the system to help with overtaking, finishing eighth: “We definitely didn’t have much luck today and that’s a real shame, at the end of what had been such a positive weekend,” he said after the race. “After the opening laps, when I thought the rear tyres had gone off, the pit wall informed me that the DRS was stuck. It wasn’t fixed properly at the first stop and

so I had to come in for another one. From then on, the clear instruction from the pit wall not to use it affected my race. I tried to recover but it was really difficult finding places to overtake without DRS.” Alonso, a three-times winner in Bahrain, said his car was otherwise good and certainly the best he had driven since he joined Ferrari in 2010: “Having a good race involves a lot of factors, including a bit of luck. Let’s hope it balances out very soon, maybe even starting in Barcelona, my home race.” Ferrari hailed the Spaniard, now fourth in the championship and 30 points off Red Bull’s leader Sebastian Vettel after four races - for putting in astonishing lap times despite the problem: “It’s a real shame because even with a damaged car, his race pace was among the best and it should have been enough to see us finish second or even fight for the win,” said technical director Pat Fry.

Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa finished 15th after having his front wing damaged in a first-lap collision and then suffering punctures.

Zaha Starstruck

WILFrIEd Zaha admits he will be starstruck when he becomes a regular member of manchester United’s squad.

Caxirola – brazil’s answer To The vuvuzela

BraZIL’S answer to the vuvuzela has been unveiled. the yellow and green percussion instrument is called a caxirola, and produces a rattling sound when shaken.

They are made from recycled plastic, and will be given to fans attending the Confederations Cup in June, seen as the country’s dress

The 20-year-old winger was signed by the Premier League champions in January before being loaned back to Selhurst Park for the remainder of the season. But Zaha will be with United from the summer when he will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Robin van Persie, Ryan Giggs and fellow England international Wayne Rooney. And the young winger admits it will be slightly overwhelming, as he said in The

Sun: “I am just anxious and excited. I cannot wait. It will be something different. “When I walk into that dressing room at United, I do not know what I will feel. I will keep my head down as I am there to play football. “But I have to admit I will be a bit starstruck. Van Persie and Giggs will be in there, wow. Rooney will be in there, amazing. How can I not be looking forward to this? “I have to be patient. I do not expect to walk in and play

week in, week out. Once I get the chance I will take it.” Zaha has also revealed he is an Arsenal fan and he was surprised when United made a move for him instead. He said: “It was always Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal in terms of where I could be going. “I have always supported Arsenal. I did not expect United to come in but they did. Arsenal are a good team but United are one of the best in the world.

rehearsal for the 2014 World Cup. In 2010, matches at the World Cup in South Africa were drowned out by the droning noise of vuvuzelas. They were later banned in European competition by European football’s governing body UEFA, which said the horns detracted from the emotion of the game. Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown worked with Fifa and

Brazil’s ministry of sports to create the caxirola. The country’s president Dilma Rousseff said: “That image of the green and yellow caxirola and the fact that we are talking about a ‘green’ plastic in a country that leads in sustainability in the world. “And at the same time it is an object that has the ability to do two things, to combine the image with sound and take us to our goals.”

Falcao backed for Chelsea move German media claim striker will follow Mourinho to Stamford Bridge

Chelsea have been backed in to odds-on to sign Radamel Falcao with Sky Bet, amid speculation that the Colombia striker and Jose Mourinho have both agreed moves to Stamford Bridge.

Various German media reports have suggested that the Blues have already moved to acquire the Atletico Madrid striker on the request of Mourinho. The talk has been supported by Sky Bet reporting a run of bets on Falcao heading to West London, prompting the odds on a move tumbling from 6/1 to 1/5. The 27-year-old has scored 25 goals for Atletico this season to propel them to third in La Liga, just three points adrift of rivals Real Madrid, but has a release clause of just over £50million in his contract. Meanwhile, a proposed return for the ‘Special One’ has been mooted

for some time, with Mourinho having repeatedly revealed his desire to return to the Premier League. A return to Chelsea has been odds-on for over a month but further backing on Wednesday night, when Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League hopes were significantly dented with a 4-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, saw the price for a second stint at the Bridge cut to 2/7. Sky Bet’s Chris Spicer said: “It is difficult to decipher whether the backing is really from those in the know or just people buying into the reports, but the amount of stakes we have seen has certainly warranted a significant shift in odds. “Manchester United were previously backed in to favourites to sign Falcao following speculation in the Spanish media that a deal had been agreed, so it certainly would not be unprecedented for foreign media speculation followed by subsequent backing to prove misleading.”

Danny Cipriani Hit By Bus

Giroud Feels Ban ‘Very Harsh’

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud believes it is ‘very harsh’ that he must serve a three-match suspension following his red card in the victory over Fulham.

Rugby player Danny Cipriani is in hospital after being hit by a double-decker bus during a night out in Leeds. His club, Sale Sharks has confirmed that he suffered concussion and was Xrayed overnight.

It is reported that Cipriani was on a pub crawl with his team-mates on the night of the incident and that the bus had its windscreen shattered. The First Group, which runs buses in Leeds, confirmed that one of its vehicles was involved. “A pedestrian suddenly ran into the road and

collided with a First Bus travelling at a safe speed,” said a company spokesperson “The police have investigated this incident and have reported that First and its driver are not at fault. We understand the pedestrian is an England rugby international, and we wish him a speedy recovery.” The 25-year-old former England fly-half and boyfriend of model and TV presenter Kelly Brook is nearing the end of his first season with the Aviva Premiership club. He joined the club in a bid to revive his career after a controversial stint playing for the Melbourne Rebels. The player landed in hot water in 2011 for taking a

bottle of vodka from the bar of a local nightspot without paying for it and was later stood down for a month for breaching team curfews and failing to turn up to training. His current club, Sharks, was involved in a fight against relegation for much of this season but are now safe in English rugby’s top flight. Cipriani has also previously played for Wasps and has a points tally for England of 49 from seven caps. However, he has not played for his country since 2009 after falling out of favour with recent England managers Martin Johnson and Stuart Lancaster.

The French forward was issued with his marching orders in the 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage on Saturday for a last-minute tackle on Stanislav Manolev. Arsenal’s appeal against the mandatory ban was rejected by the Football Association and Giroud must now sit out three of the Gunners’ final four games as they battle to secure a

top-four finish. And the £13million summer signing from Montpellier was left flabbergasted by the decision to uphold the original verdict. Giroud said: “I was very surprised at the verdict as my action was unintentional. “It does not hurt me but the rules in England are really very harsh. Very harsh indeed.”

Time Runs Out For CD Marino

dorta & noah

Iker & Balduino

aFtEr weeks of valiantly holding back the inevitable, Cd marino were relegated back to the tercera division after a 0-2 home loss to promotion chasing Leganes. defensive lapses that have dogged them all season came back to haunt them after they out played their visitors in the first half.

With nothing to lose Marino came out flying, Balduino rounded the Leganes defence in the first minute and squared the ball to Sandro, he thought he had squeezed it over the line but keeper Falcon did just enough to stop it from crossing the line. Balduino was back soon after with a solo effort but was thwarted by Falconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet. Chema and Sandro did their best to unlock the visitors down the wings but were up against some heavy tackling.

Balduino With the mid day temperature at the 35 degree mark it was a testing match for stamina, too often Marino players were slow to support Iker and Balduino up front and Leganes were playing well within themselves. The pitch was certainly well watered, twice Falcon slipped over when taking goal kicks but at the other end Alberto could have pulled up a deck chair. Batres had the best chance for Leganes, the tall forward tried to impose himself on goal and could only head the ball wide. Aicart had a blast at the target but his wayward shot was more of a danger to the Green Clinic than the goal netting. Marino had only a couple of minutes to the welcome shade and water of half time but Leganes broke and the home defence was caught napping. Alberto failed to cover the shot and suddenly they were 0-1 down. Alberto Noah came off the bench to score away last week so it was worth trying again; he

did manage to get the ball in the goal but was offside. Martinez flashed a free kick wide as Leganes closed in on the win that would guarantee them a promotion play off spot. A few minutes later he went one better when the defence parted and he launched a curling shot that deceived Alberto in goal to make it 0-2. The defiance that has offered a slim lifeline to Marino since January seeped away as heads dropped, Noah was alert to win the ball in the goal mouth and pass to Iker but his shot rose over the bar. Centre back Ayoze, one of several loan players from CD Tenerife joined the attack and caused a few problems but Leganes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the mood to crumble. Raul Barcos made a wild tackle towards the end and got a straight red card, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another area that has dogged

Marino all season. There was still time for a late push and a couple of corners, Falcon got booked for delaying those by bouncing the ball off the pitch like a wannabe basketball player. The final divided the teams into two distinct moods, the sounds of celebration waft-

ed out from the Leganes dressing room as Marino President Pepe Barrios consoled his players with a hug and a handshake. There are still four games to go, the players have to pick themselves up if they are to haul themselves off last spot to salvage a bit of pride.

Chema on the charge

A Touch Of Class For CD Tenerife Title Hopes

Tenerife trailed to a soft first half goal but a four minute blitz blew away the home side.

Loro A scorcher, a corker, a stoater, whatever you call it Alberto’s match winner in CD Tenerife’s 1-2 win at Real Oviedo was sheer brilliance. It was billed as the game of the season, Real Oviedo are bankrolled by one of the worlds richest men and were seen as the only serious threat to Tenerife’s title aspirations. The match may not have been a classic and

Coach Alvaro Cervera took a huge gamble dropping Suso and Tarantino due to injury niggles, Loro came back to support the attack despite looking out of sorts lately and January signing Baltasar Rigo was an even bigger surprise in the centre of defence. The coach was spot on, both replacements proved their worth. Oviedo put early pressure on the visitors; Sergio Aragoneses had to be on top of his game to repel a stream of corners. The normally formidable keeper wasn’t quite so sharp late in the first half when he failed to hold Dioni’s shot, that lead put a big dent in Tenerife’s plans for the

easier promotion play off route. The second half was proving fruitless before the young guns made their mark on the game. After 74 minutes Ayoze laid on a pass to Loro and he ghosted past the defence and tucked the ball in the net for his 11th strike of the season. Then came possibly the pivotal moment of the season, the ball broke loose just behind the half way line, Alberto spotted the home goalie

well out off his line and blasted a magical long ball 50 metres over his head and into the net. Oviedo were destroyed, reduced to mere mortals they never got back in the game and Ayoze could have added another goal in the final minute. Now the group one title is within Tenerife’s grasp, a win this Sunday at home to 5th placed Fuenlabrada combined with helpful results from their

rivals would cement the preferred play off spot. An aggregate win in home and away ties with one of the other three group winners would see Tenerife return to the Segunda division. There are three more regular season games after Sunday so the blanquiazul will have to wait to see who they draw but the play off fixtures should take place on Sundays 26 May and 2 June.

hooter. The win was built on a 30-20 first quarter advantage when they responded well to the temporary loss of Jakim Donaldson with 10 stitches in a cut above his left eye after a clash with a Bilbao defenceman.

Argentinian Nico Richotti blazed the way with 22 points, Blagota Sekulic wasn’t far behind with 20 and Uriz and Saul Blanco chipped in with 11 points each. This Sunday its Manresa away for a 6 pm tip off.

Free Scoring CB Canarias Have Lofty Ambitions

Surpassing themselves with every game CB Canarias can see the championship play offs on the horizon but know it will be a tough thing to achieve. The yellows think they have plenty left in the tank and eclipsing Bilbao 104 to 101 at home was another reward for their ambitious squad. The only weakness in their first season back in the ACB has been a tendency to fall away in the later stages of matches, losing the third quarter 17-27 to tie the game could have signaled a collapse but they dug deep and clinched it by the final

Three Men Out To Make A Big Splash

How far can you swim in the sea before scrabbling back to the beach? For Jose Juan Casañas, Jose Carlos Sanchez, and Jonay Garcia the answer is at least 40 kms. That´s the distance they will be swimming on Saturday 4 May as they cross from La Gomera to Tenerife.

Starting out from Playa de la Cueva in San Sebastian early morning they aim to reach the beach at Playa de la Arena between 5 and 6 pm. That is the shortest distance between the two islands but it will still be a stern test for both mind and body. All three are past the first flush of youth but keen, regular swimmers with plenty of experience of the open sea. It´s men against nature as there are no short cuts and no hanging on to the back of a ferry, just raw muscle power and determination. There will be a big reception for them as they come ashore so if you are in the area give them some encouragement.
