Editorial
Hats off to the members of the public who apprehended a bag thief in Los Cristianos this week – News On The Rock page 4. How nice to hear about people standing up to criminals. However, was it a wise move? Possibly yes in Tenerife, however I can imagine the outcome being a little different elsewhere in the world. Police had to come and rescue the thief after he received a battering from witnesses and the bag was recovered.
Tenerife Weekly - 20th September 2013 - 26th September 2013 So, a survey by supermarket Morrisons has “revealed” that most of us are seriously unadventurous when it comes to creating meals, see page 27. Ok, hands up, I am guilty, but I cook the food that I like, ok so some of it is positively unexciting, but I like it. Like many of you, I don’t have the time to start faffing around and creating, unlike Marc Craig, who puts us all to shame with his creations. But at least I know that I am not alone, there’s thousands like me! EXCITED. Downton Abby is back, pages 28-29. This Sunday will see me

onay and Rebecca are a couple in limbo. They are currently suffering the kind of nightmare most of us don’t even want to dream of, and the resolution depends on a number of faceless officials in Madrid and Moscow. But maybe peoplepressure can help.
Jonay and Rebecca are married and live in Callao Salvaje. This Canarian couple have one over-riding wish – to be parents. They have suffered many disappointments, some extremely personal, and after years of setbacks decided to adopt. They looked at all the possibilities and opted for an international adoption. The process is a long and frustratingly slow one. “To get the first piece of paper from the regional government took six months”, Jonay explained. They were questioned and assessed as a couple, outsiders decided whether they would be fit parents or not, their home was visited, and fact Rebecca said their inspectors
probably ended up “knowing more about us than we know ourselves”. But they put up with all the probes and questions knowing that it was for a good reason. And finally,
last May, after two years of officialdom and waiting, they were told their future child had been potentially identified. They set off to meet their son-to-be. Travelling from Tenerife to Madrid, Madrid to Moscow and then flying up to Siberia took its toll, but at the end of the journey was the promise of a week in the company of a young boy, two and a half years old, who took to them almost immediately and them to him. Jonay explained that this is the time when you decide if this is the child for you “and we were ready to sign on the first day”. Leaving him behind to return to Tenerife was extremely difficult. “I cried at every airport, each time thinking I was leaving him further behind, until my husband asked me to stop as people would think he was hitting me” jokes Rebecca, but the emotion is tangible through the smiles. They returned, with difficulty, to their daily lives waiting for the call that would give them a date for the final court appearance in Russia when they could then bring their son, their Daniel home. It was approaching, and Jo-

curled up on the sofa glued to my television. Anything else can just go to hell; I love this series not only that, filming has started for the new series of Mr Selfridge. It is what I call real television, not the usual reality rubbish we are plagued with. Mind you, I have a guilty secret… Am I the only one who watches the auditions for X Factor and prefers them to the Live Selection shows?
See you all next week.

the car people
competition Last week’s The Car People Competition was the last one for the time being. Thank you from all our winners to The Car People for helping make this such a success. The correct answer to the question; What make was the car driven by Vin Diesel in his role as Dominic Toretto in Fast & Furious 6? The answer is a Dodge Charger. Congratulations go to Kevin Hall who was the lucky
nay was buying their tickets to fly over at the end of September when the bombshell dropped. “In fact I phoned the agency to check some detail and they told me to wait and not buy our tickets.” There was a problem. Spain, it would appear, failed to renew the adoption agreement with Russia at the end of August and all adoption processes between the two countries have been stopped. They were going nowhere for now. Devastation, heartbreak, despair. But this couple don’t take problems lying down, and within days the pair had gone online and discovered
winner. We look forward to seeing him with his family at the Sunday Carvery at Vivo, where they will also be treated to a round of mini golf each.
there were about 500 couples throughout Spain in a similar situation. They don’t think the hiccup has anything to do with current bigger political gamesmanship. “Other countries did renew their agreements and adoptions are going ahead”, says Jonay, agreeing that it seems like Spain simply took its eye off the foreign adoption ball, with disastrous consequences for 500 families and children. So they joined the campaign and began a whirlwind round of interviews with local media as well as urging people to sign an on-line petition http://www.change.org/es/
peticiones/urge-la-firma-delconvenio-de-adopcion-entreespaña-y-rusia, as they hope that will bring extra pressure to bear when the two countries sit down to renegotiate the treaty on October 4th. They and the other couples don’t want special treatment; they just want to bring their children home. If you see the petition online, please do sign it and join the voices asking for help to make this happen. Daniel’s room is decorated; the toys are sitting there waiting to be played with. All that’s missing is their young owner. Help Jonay and Rebecca bring their son home.
Miss World Tenerife 2013 On Saturday September 14th, Photo: © GERARD ZENOU Virginia Victoria Álvarez Millón, aged just 18, from Guía de Isora, was chosen as Miss World Tenerife 2013 at a gala evening in her home town.

news On THe rOCK
The Guardia Civil has broken up a heroin smuggling ring based in the Canaries, the Netherlands and Conakry-Guinea. Arrests have been made of 29 individuals for organized crime activities. The arrested come from Spain (11), Guinea (16), and one each from Cameroon and Sierra Leona. Distribution networks have been uncovered in both Tenerife and La Palma. The police operation, named “Caballo Negro’ (Black Horse) and run in collaboration with Belgian police, started in October 2012 when La Palma Guardia Civil detected a notable increase in illegal heroin traffic to the island. Now, the smugglers are under arrest, the networks broken up, and police have seized some 1.610 grams of heroin, 1,800 of hash, informatic and communication material, more than 1.5m Euros in cash, and financial products and property. The whole operation has been organized by the European Police Cooperation Office, EUROPOL. Between May and august adeje initiated 49 denuncias against “aggressive touting” on the municipality’s streets in accordance with the new bylaw. The Ayuntamiento says that enforcement of the regulations has been increasingly and progressively successful, as local companies realized the council was serious in its determination to control the practice for “the peaceful enjoyment of Adeje’s tourists”. Some dozen or so officials have been patrolling the promenades and beach areas, and will continue to do so. Police say that although minor pickpocketing and street vending continues, as is inevitable to some degree in such an area, the summer has been “quite quiet”: they say that they will continue to monitor the areas to minimise the nuisance, particularly to avoid drinks sellers and masseurs in Adeje’s beaches, so as to ensure the area maintains its 5* image. Three teenagers between 14 and 16 have been arrested after a spate of robberies in Callao Salvaje. Adeje Guardia Civil say that the trio, a Spaniard, an Italian and a French youth, took advantage of people being off their guard to commit ten or so burglaries in several complexes including Callao Garden, Tropical Park and Sueño Azul. The youngsters rang doorbells and checked out the type of person who answered, asking for someone at random to explain why they’d called, and waited until their victims had gone out: those who had left their property vulnerable in any way were burgled. The thieves themselves were not careful enough, however, because they were eventually identified by security cameras. a street thief had to be rescued by Arona Policía Local after almost being lynched by angry passers-by in central Los Cristianos around 10am Sunday morning. The 20 year old had just made off with a handbag snatched off a woman’s shoulder when he was set upon by the public, and was in the middle of receiving quite a beating when police turned up. The handbag had been recovered and returned to the woman by that point, and the bruised and battered thief’s day got worse as police carted him off to the cells at the southern Comisaría to await an appearance at the Courts. Twelve people were slightly injured when a tourist bus carrying 50 passengers came off the road. The accident happened around 5am on Tuesday, on the approach road that leads to Reina Sofia airport in the south of Tenerife. The injured were treated at the scene by emergency services and transferred to the Special Care Center at El Mojon and the Hospiten private hospital.

tenerife’s new president, Carlos alonso
unday 15th September was the final day for President Ricardo Melchior’s mandate at the head of the Tenerife Cabildo. Sr Melchior stood down on Monday after 14 years as president in favour of his hand-picked successor. Sr Melchior’s time in office has been productive for Tenerife, not least in terms of his janetanscombe.com avuncular image and multilingualism – he speaks English and German fluently. Recently he has hit the headlines for his support of the Tenerife train project, and his call for fellow CC member Paulino Rivero similarly to step aside as President of the Canarian Government. His successor, Carlos Alonso, is a younger switched-on family man, whose main interest is communication technology. In this, he’s seen as “next generation” to Ricardo Melchior, whose main focus for much of his presidency was renewable energy. Both men are generous with the press, and regularly make themselves available for questions or interviews. Unlike Melchior, however, Alonso is unlikely to be at the helm in Tenerife for over a decade: he is on record as saying he won’t end his career in the Canaries, and that he’ll be moving on, perhaps to the mainland or even the EU in a few years. Good luck to both men, one for an enjoyable retirement, and the other for a further successful step in what seems likely to be something of a stellar career over the next thirty years.

From Beyond the Grave By Marc Craig
T
his article was written with the full cooperation and approval of Jordan’s mother, Karen Walchester. Special thanks to Janet Anscombe for allowing me to use her articles as reference and for passing my enquiries on to Karen. On 12th September 2010 the body of a young man was found at around 8am on Las Americas beach, it was determined fairly quickly that the deceased was around 30 years of age and British. Initial reports claimed he may have died as a result
of a fight, this assumption quickly changed to suspicions of “foul play”. Within a week the body was identified as Jordan Walchester, 24, from Stoke-on-Trent, Jordan was on holiday with 2 friends and had visited a hospital after feeling unwell but had released himself upon hearing an overnight stay would cost 2,000 Euros. The group were due to leave the island within 24 hours after they had decided to cut short their “disastrous holiday” by a week. Jordan had left their apartment for food and to check his bank balance and didn’t return. His body was found by
a passer-by who alerted the authorities. What followed for the grieving family was a yearlong battle with the authorities to be allowed access to documents concerning his death, including the police report and post mortem results the family had only been told that Jordan’s death had been ruled as death by drowning, however due to the presence of a wound to the back of his head, the family feared he may have been attacked as indeed the police originally suspected. This, the family believed was more than likely as in addition to the wound, his phone, a gold ring and a few hundred euros were never recovered. After an online campaign (Justice for Jord, with over 1,500 people joining up), and multiple letters to the British Ambassador to Spain in Madrid, they were finally sent copies
Changes To REF Concern Local Business
newsinthesun.com There are rumours in business circles that the talks between the Government of the Canary Islands and Madrid on the reform of the special Canarian Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF) are not going at all well. The President of the Government, Paulino Rivero , said recently that there were some points, especially related to procurement bonuses related to residents, the central executive did not accept .
In fact, there are indications that the proposals from Madrid are enough to bring tears to the eyes of the local politicos. The president of the Provincial Confederation of Employers
of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (CEOE- Tenerife), José Carlos Francisco, says the progress of the REF negotiations is a major concern to their members. The entrepreneurs are asking the Canarian Government for more transparency about the negotiations, as they are worried about possible changes to the tax regime, which they say is “fundamental “ to social cohesion and economic development of the Islands. As a first step , the CEOE and their counterparts from the province of La Palma, the CCE are seeking a meeting with the Minister of Economy, Finance and Security, Javier González Ortiz, to “make him understand that government and business must work together on this matter”.
of the documentation, which were translated and handed to a British coroner who arranged an inquest. The documents stated that Jordan did not drown, nor was he attacked, he died after sustaining a head injury due to falling on rocks. It would take another 2 months (February 2012) before the family received the toxicology report which was both drug and alcohol free, leaving them still mystified as to what actually happened a suggestion that he “banged his head on the rocks due to tiredness” seemed too vague and quite unlikely. It wasn’t until May this year that a British Coroners Court dismissed the Spanish police report and deemed the cause of death as “unascertained”. There was not enough evidence to clarify whether he was attacked, drowned or had just fallen. Jordan’s family had to resign themselves to the possibility that they would never know what truly happened that night in September 2010.
Out of the Blue So it was an unexpected visit to a medium that finally gave Karen, Jordan’s mother, some of the closure she had been hoping for, for so long. A young medium from Hull named Lucy, was visiting friends of Karen’s, a group of paranormal investigators called “Stoke on Trent Ghost Hunters” and the visiting medium said she needed to speak with her, as Jordan had been coming through with a message for them. When Karen and her husband met with the medium, they were very quickly convinced that this was the real thing, she said that Jordan was with his uncle Gary and an older man whose nickname was Gangang this
was Karen’s husband’s granddad. But it was the mention of a humble bar snack that really convinced them, Jordan had told Lucy he loved Twiglets, in Karen’s letter she told me; “what she said just blew me away. Jord loved twiglets, he ate mountains of them!” At this point Lucy began talking of what the message was that Jordan needed to give to them, he told Lucy that his death wasn’t natural and that he had been murdered, that it was over very quickly and that they shouldn’t take it any further as they had suffered enough. He also said that the man responsible couldn’t be brought to justice, as shortly after he committed this awful crime he was hit by a car and was killed himself. He also felt some sympathy for his killer, “but that was the type of young man he was, he wasn’t a fighter he was a gentleman, kind and considerate”, she said. Karen went on to say: “I had thought this all along and tried and tried to get to the bottom of what happened to my child, all the family didn’t want to believe it and kept saying he must have been ill.” Karen is convinced that the authorities knew this was the case and believes it was played down so as not to harm tourism. Karen also stressed to me that the medium didn’t take any money for this and that she often works with police on missing persons cases and that she is still trying to obtain more information such as the man’s name and what exactly happened So, whatever you believe about mediums, spirit messages and voices from beyond the grave at least this medium’s words gave a woman who has lost her child, a degree of comfort and closure. Thank you again Karen for allowing me to share this story.

Almost 5 years have passed since the princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn from Thailand visited Tenerife to inaugurate Siam Park, the innovative water kingdom which quickly evolved into the best free time activity in the South of Tenerife. This is proved by the numerous visitor comments from different countries, who write their opinions every day on various social networking sites as well as more than 80.000 fans who comment on the Siam Park page on Facebook. Exciting slides and magical attractions, together with mysterious areas surrounded by rich vegetation and the biggest artificial wave in the
world.

n the year 2011, the Canary Islands Government initiated the special plan to eradicate illegal holiday rentals in the Canary Islands. This plan is known as PLAN DE ACTUACION ESPECIAL DE INSPECCION DE CONTROL DE ESTABLECIMIENTOS TURISTICOS Y DIAGNOSTICO DE ALOJAMIENTOS SIN AUTORIZACION.
In accordance with the Government, the inspection department of the Tourist Board has initiated more than 7,000 inspections resulting in 959 fines. The Government also alleges that it has collected information regarding 1,452 units which might be illegal and could be exposed to potential fines. Finally as per information published in the media, the Government had issued fines for more than 2.3 million euros in 2011 alone. In years 2012 and 2013 the said plan has continued being implemented, more fines have been issued. A great many of these fines are currently being enforced by the tax department of the Canary Islands Government (Consejería de Hacienda), while some owners have already paid their fines. The current position is now as follows: • There are owners who received the letters with the proposed fines and have not paid the fines nor presented any appeals; they could be now exposed to losing their properties in public auction. • There are also a significant numbers of owners who have been fined but who never received the letters from the Government, therefore the fines have been published in the Canary Islands Official Gazette (BOC); the fines could now be enforced against their properties without their knowledge. • In 2011 TFL lawyers (José Escobedo & Santiago Saenz) were contacted by many owners in different tourist areas in the Canaries. Those owners have been fined in the amount of 18.000 Euros for illegal holiday rentals. This is when we started a legal battle to contest these fines. As part of TFL lawyers’ strategy
Tenerife Weekly - 20th September 2013 - 26th September 2013
Alotca Announcement
to defend clients rights, we created the association known as ALOTCA (Asociación de Afectados por la ley de Ordenación del Turismo de Canarias). We registered the association with the Government and convened 2 presentations to discuss the legal consequences of the said plan. We also invited Government representatives to explain the same to affected owners. More than 60 owners trusted their defence (appeals and class action) to ALOTCA lawyers and following an extremely complicated legal procedure which finalized with a resolution from “Presidencia del Gobierno de Canarias (reducing the fine to 13.800 Euros), these reduced fines ended up in a class action being dealt by the 4 Administrative Courts at Santa Cruz. At the 1st hearing, the judge asked the parties involved in this class action to come to an out of court solution. The Judge appointed TFL lawyers to lead these negotiations. This initiative was initially accepted by the Canary Islands Government and subsequently, (after consulting with the top representatives of the Government) rejected and therefore TFL lawyers requested in writing to re-start all legal procedures against these fines. Now our class action is starting with the 1st trials taking place in September. On 12 September 2013 TFL lawyers received a final resolution from Presidencia del Gobierno de Canarias signed by the top legal department of the Canary island Government which clearly states that all the inspections carried out on the internet are illegal and consequently null and void. The resolution is supported by a legal report issued by the Consejo Consultivo de Canarias, the main legal advisory department of the Canary Islands Government. The above resolution creates a precedent and has extremely important consequences for the following owners: 1. Owners who have been fined and are already included in our class action (as the Government has now admitted that the inspections carried out mainly on the
internet are illegal): the judges who are dealing with the Court cases will see that the legal arguments in our appeals have now been accepted by the Government. 2. Owners who have been fined but have presented no appeals: we are still on time to nullify these fines and even get their money back should the fine have already been paid. 3. Owners who have been fined but never received the letter from the Government and whose fines
have therefore been published in the Canary Islands Official Gazette (BOC). For all the above owners, it is important to note that they are now on time to nullify the fines by following the special procedure and class action designed by ALOTCA lawyers, provided that they have been fined by illegal inspection carried out on the internet by the Tourist Board Inspectors. Owners who have not presented a defence on time might be affected by embargoes placed against their
Children’s Sports Initiative
The sports department for the Arona Town Hall has developed a wide range of activities for sports initiation for boys and girls, for the 2013-14 academic year, pursuing the following objectives: • To encourage the participation of children in sports activities. • To promote sport as an instrument of education and transmission of values to children. • To promote the personal and physical development of children. • To contribute through sport to create healthy lifestyle habits and healthy use of leisure time
7
within the child population. • To adapt sports to psychic and physical characteristics of these ages. Registration: Parents may register in the following ways: By telephoning the Arona Town Council, by calling the 010 or 922761600 from 8.am to 8pm hours, Monday to Friday and from 9am 2pm on Saturday. In person, by contacting the office of information for the complex sports Jesus Dominguez “grillo” de Los Cristianos, Avenida Chayofita, 12, Los Cristianos. All the sports activities will start in the first week of October, depending on its first day of activity. Sports aerobics, athletics, bas-
ketball, table tennis, football, skating and line hockey and volleyball the price is 60 Euros for the school year 2013-2014, which includes directed activity with sports equipment with monitor, accident insurance, complementary activities in friendly or official competitions, transport for follow-up activities and closing parties. For these activities there is the option to split the payment in two instalments, 50% at the start of the activity and the other 50% in the first half of February. The basic physical education activity and pre-sport price is 30 Euros for all the school year 20122013, except fight Canaria which is free. These activities include: with
sporting equipment, activity monitor, accident insurance and closing party. Participants ages: Sports aerobics, athletics, basketball, table tennis, football, skating and Hockey line and volleyball are provided for the following ages: 9 to 11 years (from 4th to 6th grade) and if remaining squares, beginning October 10 is wide squares up to 3º of primary. For Base physical education ages are: from 4 to 6 years (4 and 5 children and 1 primary school). Pre-sport activities for ages are: aged 6 to 8 (from 1 ° to 3 ° of primary). Phone: 010 (922 761 600 if calling from outside Arona)
properties and these could be sold in public auction if the illegal fines are not paid on time or nullified by means of this special procedure. Conclusion: It is not necessary to take this matter to European Courts as some legal sources are suggesting in a local newspaper, the solution to this problem is here in the Canary Islands, you just need to instruct lawyers to action the right legal procedure to nullify these fines.

Luxury Marina They’d Like To For Garachico Take The Shirt
The Canarian ports authority has awarded the contract to construct and operate a multifunctional leisure and commercial centre in the new marina at Garachico to a local company, Panorama GIGA SL.

Off Your Back
Several activists from the Tenerife group, Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH), stripped down to their underwear in a Santa Cruz branch of the Santander bank on Monday to protest against evictions.
The project has a budget of 3.4 million euros and is expected to generate annual fees of 60,000 euros and 52 jobs. The design is on three levels and takes into account bioclimatic criteria in order to minimize energy consumption and keep down the demand for air conditioning.
The new centre will house a laundry, supermarket, four restaurants, a local produce shop and will have space available for a bank. Outside space includes a plaza for public use, paddle courts and 103 parking spaces. The contract will cede the concession for a period of 30 years, once it is ratified by early next year. However
it may be some while before the luxury marina at Garrachico becomes a reality. The managing director of the ports authority, Juan Jose Martinezs, explained they are still seeking investment for other parts of the project and have yet to put the construction of the drydock and petrol station out to tender.
Tenerife Paedophile – Victims Asked To Come Forward
National Police have asked for potential victims of a paedophile operating in Tenerife to come forward, they believe his offences may go back to the early 1990’s.
The man, identified only by the initials JMGH, was arrested last July in El Fraile, Arona, for an alleged crime of possessing and distributing child pornography. He has had regular contact with minors for many years, working as a martial arts teacher and school bus driver in the south of Tenerife. The National Police said in a statement they have found clear evidence
that five children aged between 2 and 9 years have been victims of sexual abuse. According to investigators, the detainee did not threaten, but slowly won the confidence of victims over a period of time, promising rewards in exchange for sexual favours. He focused on children from problem families. The National Police have requested the assistance of the public to provide any information that may lead to the identification of possible further victims. The Tech Crime Group can be contacted on 922 849 572 or email sctenerife.bppjdet@police.es

Moreover, according to the latest data from the department of statistics, the average expenditure by a Russian tourist exceeds 168 euros a day, well above the British or Germans and of course, the national market.

update news on Schengen Visa roaming in europe
aS Tenerife is such a multi-cultural Island, this week we discuss about the Schengen Visa which makes it easier for non-EU member to travel around whilst holidaying in EU Countries.
By Sylvia from Crystal Clear Solutions
The Schengen Visa has made travelling between its 25 member countries (22 European Union states and 3 non-EU members) much easier and less bureaucratic. Travelling on a Schengen Visa means that the visa holder can travel to any (or all) member countries using one single visa, thus avoiding the hassle and expense of obtaining individual visas for each country. This is particularly beneficial for persons who wish to visit several European countries on the same trip. The Schengen Visa is a “visitor visa”. It is issued to citizens of countries who are required to obtain a visa before entering Europe. The purpose of the visit must be leisure, tourism, or business. Upon the issuance of the visa, the visa holder is allowed to enter all member countries and travel freely throughout the Schengen area. It is strongly recommended to plan your journey within the timeframe of the Schengen Visa as extensions can be very difficult to obtain, thus forcing you to leave to stay in compliance with the Schengen rules and regulations. A Schengen Visa allows the holder to travel freely within the Schengen countries for a maximum stay of up to 90 days in a 6 month period. The following 25 countries are Schengen Visa members: Austria, Belgium, Czech, Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Neth-

All Schengen countries are in Europe. However, it should not be confused with the EU (European Union). Schengen and European Union are two different agreements between European countries. A total of 25 countries, including all European Union countries (except Ireland and United Kingdom) and three non-EU members (Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland) have signed the Schengen agreement. However, only 15 countries have implemented the common border control and visa provisions. Important: The Schengen Visa holders are not allowed to live permanently or work in Europe. Schengen Visa holders only have the right to travel as a temporary visitor to the member countries.

Roaming fees for making mobile phone calls, sending texts or downloading data while abroad must end by 2015, Parliament said in a vote last Thursday, in its reaction to the legislative telecoms package presented by the Commission last Wednesday. More and more people own a smartphone or a tablet which they often have to switch off when they travel abroad to avoid high roaming fees. Europe pioneered the global mobile industry in the early 1990’s, but today our industry can barely sell to a continent lacking in 4G and consumers miss out on the latest technological and device improvements,” said Jens Rohde (ALDE, DK), author of the resolution, adding: “We want to put an end to this fragmented market which is not fit for global competition.” Roaming free in the EU by 2015 - Large price differences between using your mobile phone at home and abroad, caused by “unbalanced profit margins on roaming” are one of the main reasons why a single telecoms market currently does not exist, MEPs say. In many cases, roaming accounts for about 10% of EU operators’ revenues, which means that industry and consumers pay double the price for roaming calls that operators have to pay in the wholesale market. The gap between
roaming and national tariffs should therefore be closed by 2015, MEPs say. Digital jobs and internet access - To make full use of the potential of the digital economy – currently growing at seven times the rate of the rest of the economy – MEPs propose a series of other measures to reduce barriers and improve access to internet. Education and access to finance could help fill the expected 700 000 to 1 million high-quality ICT job vacancies (Commission estimates, and make it easier for people who want to start their own businesses, MEPs say. The EU should also invest in fast internet broadband so that, in 2020, all EU households are connected with broadband connections delivering at least 100 megabits/second, MEPs say MEPs also call on the Commission and member states to open up more radio spectrums, which are now free since TV has gone digital, for mobile internet. Next steps - The European Council will discuss the digital agenda on its meeting on 24 and 25 October. The European Commission put forward a legislative package in the telecoms area last Wednesday Parliament and national governments will now examine this proposal.

expats urged to tell friends and families to research thoroughly Before purchasing a place in Spain
new foreign office video offers top tips to help prospective buyers
B
RITISh expats who know someone planning to buy a place in the sun should tell their friends or family members back in UK to make sure they get free and helpful advice from the British Embassy staff who will be at a Place in the Sun Live at the national Exhibition Centre in Birmingham from 27th to 29th September. Potential property buyers in Spain can also get lots of consumer-friendly information from a new Foreign Office video to be found on YouTube, on gov.uk and other websites that are packed with advice on how to do your homework before taking the plunge. Spain continues to be amongst the most popular choices for Britons buying homes overseas, despite the economic crisis and well-publicised property scandals. According to the Spanish College of Registrars*, over the past three years Britons have bought more than 12,000 properties in Spain, representing nearly one in five of all properties bought by foreigners. Most have bought properties
without experiencing any issues. But this is little comfort to the minority caught up in serious property problems who suffer the emotional distress and personal and financial effects. British Ambassador to Spain, Giles Paxman, explains what the British Embassy has been doing: “Although we cannot take action on individual cases, we continue to engage with the Spanish authorities at all levels to encourage them to address property issues affecting British nationals.
“We have seen the devastating effect property problems can have and we want to help prospective buyers avoid the potential pitfalls. They can visit the Spain-specific property advice pages on gov.uk, watch the FCO’s new video on YouTube and talk to our staff at the ‘A Place in the Sun’ exhibition. “All three offer helpful tips that will help future buyers purchase safely so that they can enjoy all the wonderful things that living in Spain can offer.” Mr Paxman concludes: “One thing

REGaRDLESS of whether Spain explores or drills for oil off the eastern Canaries, Morocco is going ahead with exploitation of the parallel oil fields in any case. The scale of the whole thing is shown in the graphic above, taken from the website of Scottish firm Cairn Energy, who will be carrying out the drilling. Given that the Moroccan oil fields border the Canarian ones, if a disaster happens, it won’t much matter whether Spain was actually responsible or not.
It will lend huge impetus to the development lobby in this country given that there seems no reason now not to exploit the Canarian fields and take the money. Chief executive of Cairn Energy, Simon Thompson, said that the Moroccan exploration will be taking place at a depth of between 500 and 2,000 metres, and will be in the areas of the oil field known as Foum Draa and Juby Maritime.

The 5th John Lowe Classic Charity Golf Day took place at Amarilla Golf Course, on Saturday 14th September in support of Amate, breast cancer care in Tenerife.
29 teams of 4 took part in the event playing a Texas Scramble format with many of the teams decked out in pink in support of the charity. Taylors Bar had put up 1,000 Euros for a hole-in-one with 500 Euros going to any player to achieve the once in a lifetime feat and 500 Euros going to Amate. Support from local business was immense. Blacktower Financial Management sponsored the event and every tee was individually sponsored with many offering up refreshments to the players.
On the 1st tee Coast FM started proceedings off with a glass of bubbly for the lead team featuring darts legends John Lowe and Bob Anderson with Tony Hoylake and Amarilla Club Captain Simon Shovlar. During the game rumours started going around that a player had achieved the impossible and holed his tee shot on the Par 3 12th hole and it was soon confirmed that Troy Short from the Island Connections team had indeed scored an ace on the picturesque hole overlooking the San Miguel Marina. Upon completion of the round players and guests enjoyed a BBQ while the cards were marked in preparation for the prize giving. Fenix Golf sponsored the Ladies and Gents Longest Drive on the 13th tee which was won by Sally Anderson and Tony Banks. The Paul James Trophy for Nearest the Pin on the 5th was won by Tony Banks. Nearest the Pin on the 12th hole was Troy Smart with his Hole in One! Troy won a box of 12 balls

Mainland Divorcing Couple Ordered News In To Split Home 50/50 Brief Spanish house prices fell 0.8% in the second quarter from a quarter earlier, official data has shown the smallest drop since the fourth quarter of 2010 and a sign the five-year property bust may be turning a corner. National housing prices have risen only once on a quarterly basis since the third quarter of 2007 after the sudden end of a decade-long property boom spun Spain’s economy into a deep recession from which it is only just starting to emerge. On an annual basis, housing prices fell 12%, the lowest drop since the end of 2011, the Statistics Institute said. Industry estimates suggest there are around a million unsold new homes in Spain, many of which are in the hands of banks struggling to raise capital levels. Lawmakers have passed amendments to beef up Spain’s first freedom of information law, intended to attack corruption and restore plummeting public trust in politics and government. A series of scandals has highlighted a lack of accountability in political parties and even the watchdogs charged with keeping them clean. Spain is the only European Union nation without a law which guarantees citizens a right to information on how public funds are spent. The bill is expected to pass both houses of parliament within the next few weeks. The original draft left out key institutions, including political parties, the royal family, lobbies, unions and employers’ associations, which were included in the amendments. Under the new law, all levels of government will have to provide clearer public records on which companies have government contracts. Opinion polls show political parties are the least trusted of any public institutions in Spain. The royal family’s image has also suffered as the king’s son-in-law is charged with embezzling six million euros in public funds. Spanish authorities have seized over 800 kilos of cocaine from a yacht in the Atlantic, smashing a ring that smuggled drugs from Latin America to Europe, the interior ministry said. Police arrested 16 people and seized the yacht as well as a catamaran, several vehicles, a gun and cash in the probe, the ministry said in a statement. Spanish authorities intercepted the yacht on September 2nd in international waters north of Portugal’s Azores islands and arrested its four crew members — two Estonians, a Serbian and a Spaniard — after finding more than 800 kilos of cocaine on board. Police arrested another 12 people in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia suspected of involvement in trafficking of the narcotics. Twenty bulls went missing from stables in Spain the night before a festival in which the town hunts one of the animals, authorities said. The animals went missing from their stables Saturday night, ahead of the Toro de la Vega festival in the town of Tordesillas, The Local.es reported. As part of the festival, hundreds of people take on one of the bulls with spears. If the animal makes it past the fighting zone limits and is standing, the bull is pardoned. Organizers of the fighting tradition said animal rights protesters may have freed the bulls as thousands of people in Madrid protested the festival before they went missing.
The economic crisis in Spain has had a further unintentional consequence of forcing couples who cannot afford divorces to remain together. A judge in Seville has ordered a divorcing couple to split their 2,700-square-foot apartment right down the middle.
The property belongs to the husband’s parents, but the judge ordered the man to bisect it to create two independent abodes, citing economic considerations and the well-being of the couple’s two daughters, ages 6 and 7, according to the written ruling released by the court this month. Josep Maria Torres, a family law expert at Roca & Junyent, a leading law firm in Barcelona, said that the ruling was highly unusual. “It is an extraordinary decision that could encourage other judges to seek similarly extreme solutions,” he said. “Spain’s economic crisis has changed everything.” The potential for awkward encounters between the couple in the stairwell presented “the lesser of two evils in view of the economic situation presented by both parties,” the judge wrote, referring to the couple’s complaint that the crisis had decimated their earnings. The couple were not available for comment. In her ruling, the judge reasoned that since the husband’s parents had not taken any action against their daughter-
in-law, it was evident that they did not want to evict her and her two daughters from the apartment. She said that the husband had his offices downstairs from the apartment and that the proximity would benefit his daughters. The ruling requires the husband to pay for the division, but doesn’t specify whether he must erect walls or can simply put tape across the floor, a pennypinching solution that some splitting couples have tried. However this family does not seem to be troubled with money worries, when the judge ordered the family to cut down on expenses, she noted that horse-riding and sailing lessons for the girls were unnecessary extravagances. The ruling noted that until now the
husband had insisted that his wife stay at home, but the financial crisis could now compel her to find a job. The ruling did not specify whether she should get rid of the maid.
Intelligent Guitar
A Spanish company has invented an intelligent guitar that can teach beginners to play and help skilled musicians practice, improvise, and even mix.
The company, Smart Spanish Guitar has christened the instrument the F Home Studio: a traditional guitar equipped with an electronic device, a palm screen, and intelligent software with genres ranging from pop to jazz to flamenco. ‘’Musicians can now experiment, record on multiple tracks, and mix in Wav format onto a computer through a USB connection’’, co-creator Paco Ortega told reporters of his revolutionary brainchild, which he created along with famous singer-guitarists and company partners, Alejandro Sanz and Jesus Bola.
The instrument took three years to invent, is hand-made by Spanish luthiers, and will market at an estimated 4,500 euros. ‘’It has an entire home studio in-
corporated, with multiple tracks and recording and reproduction functions. It’s something special’’, US guitarist Chuck Loeb commented after trying the F Home Studio. ‘’We wanted to develop a system that would put avant-garde technology at the service of the guitar, without losing its natural sound’’ said Ortega of his brainchild, which comes equipped with a ‘’live’’ mode for concerts. The prototype was presented in 2011 and the intelligent guitar hits the world market this year. This marvellous instrument, which has already been test-run by artists of the calibre of Pat Metheney and Paco de Lucia, can be seen on http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=XFgs4hlBcEs.

Baby Killed on Conveyor Belt a FIVE-MonTh-oLD baby died on Wednesday night after a horrific accident on a baggage collection conveyor belt at a Spanish airport.
The boy’s family had just arrived at the Alicante-Elche Airport for their holidays in nearby Denia on Spain’s Costa Blanca when tragedy struck. Some reports suggest that the family was British, others that they were American and touring Europe. After leaving the plane from London Gatwick - shortly before midnight, they entered the terminal and arrived at the baggage collection area. Exact details of what happened next have not yet been revealed, but
sources at the airport say that the baby ‘suffered an accident on the belt.’ Paramedics rushed to save the child’s life, but it was too late. It is believed the accident happened on the special baggage belt area - which is reserved for the collection of larger suitcases, pushchairs and musical instruments. His parents, who are also believed to have another older child, are currently staying at the hotel where they were due to be holidaying. Red Cross volunteers are on hand for ‘psychological’ help. A Guardia Civil spokesman said it was investigating the incident, but said it was currently being listed as ‘an accident.’
Spanish town makes nYt front Cover R ESIDEnTS in the small town of alameda in southern Spain woke up to find themselves on the front page of The new york Times alongside US President Barack obama. The town of around 5,500 residents made the front cover of the prestigious US daily because of its innovative “lottery for jobs” scheme.
Almost every month for the last four years, Alameda has raffled off a number of municipal jobs to out-of-work locals. It’s a scheme designed to help a town particularly hard hit by the crisis, where unemployment is almost 50%. “All the men who were working in construction lost their jobs and now many of them aren’t entitled to government benefits,” town mayor about Juan Lorenzo Pinera told the BBC in 2010. In 2012, Alameda’s lottery provided work for 35 people in jobs ranging from being the lifeguard at the local pool to bricklaying to cleaning council buildings. The NYT interviewed some of those lucky winners including bus driver Antonio Conde who had just been given one month’s construction work .Before the draw, he was so convinced he wouldn’t

win he chose not to attend: “I’ve never had any luck at that kind of thing before, so I didn’t bother,” he told the US paper. “But winning was really uplifting. It raises your spirits. It’s a good feeling to have work.” The mayor says he isn’t interested in being a celebrity: “Sharing the front page of the NYT with Obama isn’t one
of the goals of this town hall,” Pineda told local Malaga daily Diario Sur. But plenty of people in Alameda have been asking where they can get their hands on a paper copy of the story about their town. “We have only seen it on the internet, but now we don’t know where to buy a copy!” Pineda told Diario Sur.

Parents of 10,371 children aged six and seven, and 10,372 children aged 13 and 14 were asked if their children had asthma and how severe it was. Parents were also asked how often they gave their children Paracetamol in the last year and how often when they were infants. Those in the younger age group who were given the medicine at least once a month were reportedly more than five times more times likely to have asthma while those given it just once a year were 70% more at risk. But although the research suggested an association between Paracetamol use and asthma symptoms, parents were advised not to automatically assume the drug causes asthma. One health expert said parents should not be overly concerned by the research as there is still no conclusive evidence the

drug is to blame. Paracetamol is the main ingredient of several brands of children’s liquid medicine sold in the UK, including Calpol, Medised, Disprol and Junior Parapaed. Parents are advised to give children Paracetamol in liquid form until the age of 12 when they can begin taking tablets. One doctor said children with asthma could simply become ill more frequently and are thus given Paracetamol more often by their parents. A spokesperson from the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the UK drugs watchdog, said it was carefully reviewing the data and would consider whether to take any action.

he is now standing trial on charges of manslaughter and abandoning his ship.
Twenty months later the ship has finally been raised from the Mediterranean after a successful £500m salvage operation A series of giant pulleys hauled the cruise ship back to an upright position during a19-
hour operation, exposing a section of the white ship’s exterior stained by rust and algae after months under water. By 4am on Tuesday, the 950-foot-long, 114,000ton vessel had been pulled through 65 degrees to stand on a bed of over 1,000 concrete sacks and six huge underwater platforms.
Italy’s civil protection Chief Franco Gabrielli speaking at a press conference on Giglio, where he was applauded and cheered by residents, said: “The rotation has finished its course, we are at zero degrees, the ship is resting on the platforms.” Franco Porcellacchia, an engineer working on the salvage for ship owner Costa
Cruises, said: “It could not have gone better than this. It was a perfect operation.” 4,200 passengers and crew scrambled into lifeboats or plunged into the sea after the ship ran aground and came to rest impaled on its side on two underwater outcrops of granite. The operation started
on Monday morning, 6,000 tons of pressure was required to pull the ship free from the rock, which had penetrated 18ft into the hull. As it rose out of the water in the early hours of Tuesday, two large indentations could be seen on the side of the ship where it had been pinioned on the rocks. The ship was then slowly turned until 11 massive metal boxes welded to the exposed side of the ship, some the height of 11-storey buildings, splashed into the water. By midnight, salvage workers were able to switch off the pulleys and open valves in the boxes to allow water in at 1,000 cubic feet a minute, adding the necessary ballast to bring the ship down onto the platforms. When the ship is deemed stable, metal boxes will also be added to the formerly submerged side of the ship. Then, water will be pumped out of the boxes, floating the vessel so it can be towed next spring to a port, probably on the Italian mainland, for breaking up. Mr Porcellacchia said: “We have already looked at the side of the ship to see where the boxes will go and we will quantify the work to do. The starboard side looks pretty bad, as we expected.” Fears that a polluted slick of paint, residual fuel, small quantities of heavy metal and rotting food would emerge from the ship, proved unfounded, officials said on Tuesday. Sergio Girotto, the project manager for Italian salvage firm Micoperi, which has managed the salvage with US firm Titan Salvage, said: “Now we will see what support and adjustments the ship needs.

www.tenerife-weekly.com A 41-year-old British man has been arrested on Spain’s Costa del Sol on suspicion of assisting police killer Dale Cregan. Marvin Herbert was held on a European Arrest Warrant at a gym in Puerto Banus, near Marbella, by Spanish police.
He is now awaiting extradition proceedings from Madrid to the UK. Herbert, 41, who was born in Liverpool, is wanted on suspicion of conspiracy to assist Cregan in the murders of father and son David and Mark Short. Cregan, 30, killed Mark Short in a Manchester pub on May 25 last year, but failed to kill his father, who was in the toilet. On August 10, 2012, Cregan, with fellow killer Anthony Wilkinson, shot David Short outside his house in Clayton. After killing the father and son, Cregan went on the run. He was hunted by the police for 39 days before killing two unarmed officers on September 18 last year. The oneeyed killer lured them to a house in Hattersley, Greater Manchester, with a hoax call. Within an hour he had gunned them down, and then threw a grenade at the dying offic-

Brit Arrested In Spain For Aiding Police Killer
Most Dangerous Cyber Celebrity
Lily Collins has been named as the riskiest celebrity to look up online. The actress, whose films include The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and Mirror, Mirror, replaced Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who previously held the title awarded by security company McAfee.
Online searches for her name along with the words “free app download” or “nude pictures” result in more links to “risky” websites than any other celebrity, according to the firm. Collins, the daughter of Phil Col-
lins, tops a string of figures whose names are most likely to link to a website that has tested positive for threats such as spyware and viruses. Second on the list is singer Avril Lavigne who is followed by actress Sandra Bullock. American actor Jon Hamm, who starred in Bridesmaids, was the only male celebrity in the top 10, according to the study. McAfee’s Raj Samani said: “We have got used to accessing the latest gossip and pictures of our favourite celebrities on demand. But we need to remember that cyber-criminals take advantage of the latest cultural trends, new movies and hit TV shows to target unsuspecting consumers seeking more information. “These criminals want to lure us to unsafe sites that can severely infect computers and devices and even steal personal data.” The top 10 “dangerous” celebrities this year are: 1. Lily Collins 2. Avril Lavigne 3. Sandra Bullock 4. Kathy Griffin 5. Zoe Saldana 6. Katy Perry 7. Britney Spears 8. Jon Hamm 9. Rita Ora 10. Adriana Lima

ers. Greater Manchester Police paid tribute to WPCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, on the first anniversary of their deaths on Wednesday. Two other men have also been charged with helping Cregan. Samuel Willbye, 28, from Hannet Road, Manchester, and Jack Willbye, 57, from Chapel Street, Herne Bay, are accused of conspiring to assist an offender. Both were remanded in custody to appear at Manchester Crown Court on September 25. Cregan was jailed for life at Preston Crown Court in June, and sentenced to a whole of life prison term. Earlier this month, he was moved to maximum-security Ashworth Hospital - where Moors Murderer Ian Brady is serving his sentence - from Strangeways jail in Manchester because of his behaviour. While in HMP Manchester, he was segregated from other prisoners for fear of reprisals. Reports suggest there is an underworld bounty of £20,000 on his remaining eye. In protest, Cregan is said to have started refusing food. He was put in the hospital wing at the jail before his transfer to Ashworth.
HillsboroughSecond Police Force Investigated
West Midlands Police are being investigated for possible criminal conduct after a police watchdog said there were “differences” in statements taken by football fans at the Hillsborough disaster. Investigations revealed that information given by some eyewitnesses were not the same as statements they made later to West Midlands Police force.
Senior IPCC investigators say there is evidence to suggest that “amendments or changes” were made to some witness statements. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) says it now wants to hear from thousands of fans who were at the stadium as part of its investigation into the aftermath of the disaster. The disaster, which killed 96 Liverpool fans in 1989, is now at the centre of the biggest inquiry into police wrongdoing in the UK. Chris Mahaffey, a senior investigator for the IPCC, said: “This is a criminal investigation and we are now investigating what processes were put in place to gather original evidence. We must assess whether there was any criminal conduct. Our analysis of the
large number of questionnaires is when you make comparisons against other documents which appear to come from the same person - there are differences.” The huge new IPCC investigation has already uncovered a mass of statements given by police officers on the day that were doctored by South Yorkshire Police. Deborah Glass, deputy chair of the IPCC, said the damning report by the Hillsborough Independent Panel had already raised “serious questions” over the work done by the West Midlands Police force. Calling on witnesses to come forward, she said: “It may be difficult for you to believe that after 24 years you can make a difference. But we need your help. And your help will make a difference.”

Benefit fraud: no excuses for Stealing from the taxpayer a BEnEFIT fraudster who claimed his wife was really his sister, and another who said she needed the cash for satellite TV, are among the latest examples of strange excuses that Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) benefit fraud investigators have heard over the last year. Other odd stories told to DWP officers include a claimant who, using a fake ID, said her skin colour had changed after a road accident; a man who blamed his evil twin; and a woman who claimed she wasn’t in a relationship but just had a three-night stand resulting in three children over five years. These unlikely stories are revealed as the Government announces a new campaign to target benefit fraudsters - encouraging claimants to come clean about any changes to their circumstances and urging the public to report suspicions about possible fraudsters to the National Benefit Fraud Hotline. The campaign, starting this autumn, will remind claimants to report all changes in their circumstances at the time that they happen and before DWP investigators turn their attention to their claim. Examples of changes in circumstances include moving or buying property abroad, moving in with a partner or starting work. Members of the public living in Spain
can report suspected fraud anonymously via the Benefit Fraud Hotline on 900 554 440 or online at: www.dwp.gov.uk/ benefit-thieves-spain. Phone lines are open Monday to Friday 8am-4pm and all calls are free and confidential. Minister for Welfare Reform David Freud said: “Hardworking taxpayers lost an outrageous £1.2 billion in benefit fraud last year. “Our investigators are stepping up and taking advantage of the latest technology so fraudsters can be identified, traced and caught. “The minority of claimants attempting to siphon off benefit cash need to know our teams are cracking down on them. Bare-faced lies are frankly transparent in the face of the evidence.” Richard West, DWP Head of Fraud Investigations, said: “We are used to fraudsters telling tall tales to hide their crimes. “When faced with the evidence, most people hold their hands up and admit what they’ve done. But some people refuse to admit they have been caught
stealing. Some people will keep on trying to lie as a way out – even to the point of ridiculousness. They usually just end up digging them themselves deeper into a hole.” This summer DWP investigators were asked for the strangest excuses they have heard from benefit fraudsters. Here are some of the best: • A claimant in West Lothian tried to explain her reason for falsely claiming: “I needed the money to pay for TV in each of the five bedrooms, as the kids have ADHT, and I have to keep them in.” She failed to mention the children no longer lived with her. • A Glasgow claimant tried
t o explain excessive income: “ A n y
wages under £200 are mine but any over £200 must belong to someone else.” • A Bilston claimant questioned about a ‘living together’ fraud: “I don’t know why you’re interviewing me, I’m bisexual!” • In Liverpool a claimant insisted that she didn’t have a relationship with a man who stayed most nights of the week. When it was pointed out that they had 3 children together in a 5-year period, she said: “We’re all entitled to a one night stand aren’t we?” She was again reminded that there were three children. Her answer: “Well, a three-night stand then”. • A claimant from Worcester tried to say: “It’s not my partner, it’s my sister.” When the investigator held up their wedding certificate, he replied: “That was a drunken mistake.” • A man interviewed in Folkestone regarding a failure to declare his nightwatchman job said: “I only claim benefits during the day; what I do at night is my own business”. • Another claimant from Folkestone was interviewed regarding failing to declare her partner: “He doesn’t live here, he just comes every morning to collect his sandwiches and kiss me good morning before going to work”. • A woman when asked why her husband’s belongings were in a wardrobe in her Highgate bedroom, after
failing to mention a partner in her benefit claim, said: “It’s a spare wardrobe. I never look in a spare wardrobe”. She pleaded guilty in court and was given a community work order for 12 months. • A Gloucester jobseeker filled in his application form and said he didn’t have a partner living with him: His excuse: “It’s her property so she doesn’t live with me, I live with her.” • In an identity fraud trial, the alleged fraudster from London claimed she was a white female depicted in photos even though her skin colour was black and suggesting her face had changed shape following a car crash. • Said a claimant from Glasgow: “You have me confused with my evil twin brother. He lives in Pakistan and visits the UK regularly.” The man had two Pakistani passports, one in his own name and the other in the identity of his ‘twin’. Both passports listed all his own children. The excuse? “My brother has children born on the same dates with the same names.” • “I didn’t tell you about my private pension because it’s private.” • A North East DLA claimant asked why she claimed she was incapable of cleaning her own house when she was working as a full-time bus cleaner: “By the time I come in from work, I’m that knackered.” • And finally: “It’s Christmas so I should be able to keep the extra money.”

anti-Smoking allen to receive Campaigner dies golden globe Honour
TERRy hall, the woman who featured in a graphic US antismoking campaign has died from cancer at the age of 53. She was described as “a public health hero” who helped as many as 100,000 americans to give up smoking by taking part in the Tips From Former Smokers campaign.
Ms Hall suffered oral and throat cancer caused by her cigarette smoking that began in high school, health officials said. By summer, the cancer had spread to her brain and she died in hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The former smoker, whose voice box was removed years ago, took a leading role in the campaign that showed how smoking-related cancer ravages the body. Her first advert showed her putting false teeth in, and then placing a wig on her scalp before covering a hole in her throat with a scarf. It was the campaign’s most popular spot by far, receiving more than 2.8 million views on YouTube. In another advert, she advised smokers to make a video of themselves reading a children’s book or singing a lullaby: “I wish I had,” her voice growled as she spoke using her artificial voice box. “The only voice my grandson’s ever heard is this one.” Dr Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which carried out the campaign this year and in 2012, said: “She was a public health hero. “She may well have saved more lives than most doctors do.”

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard, star of True Blood, will head the US team, while English actor Dominic West, star of hit series The Wire, will race alongside the Commonwealth team. Harry, who took part in the Walking With The Wounded trek to the North Pole in 2011 for five days, is patron of the Antarctica expedition. He missed out on an attempt to conquer Mount Everest with the group last year because of his military commitments, and he withdrew early from the successful North Pole expedition to attend his brother’s wedding. Maj Philp, from Knightwick in Worcestershire, said Harry was a “good extra pair of hands” dur-
ing the training exercise. The 35-year-old Royal Artillery officer said having the prince with the team was “great”. “He’s experienced at this, having spent some time at the North Pole also,” she said. “He knows what he’s doing. He’s got his military training, and it’s very, very easy, so he’s a good extra pair of hands.” Asked if Harry mucks in with the team, she said: “Oh God, absolutely. We wouldn’t let it be any other way and he wouldn’t want it to be any other way. It’s great having Harry along, and hopefully he appreciates it too. It’s a chance not just for him to experience all the practical stuff that we’ve just done as well, but for us to get together as a team and start to get to know each other better.”

www.tenerife-weekly.com Police chiefs have given their backing to privately-run drunk tanks where drunken revellers are kept overnight and made to pay for their stay. Chief Constable Adrian Lee, the national policing lead on alcohol harm, said drunken individuals should be held in “welfare centres” run by a commercial company.
Mr Lee, head of Northamptonshire Police, said: “The cost of policing for arresting and taking positive action for people who are drunk and disorderly and bringing them into custody cells is significant and not necessarily the best place for people who are drunk to be. We would ar-

rest them, they would go to a welfare centre and when they were sober the police would return to deal with the criminality of their behaviour and there might well be a bill to pay. “I think the impact of that would be a deterrent effect on people who choose to go out and get so drunk that they’re incapable of looking after themselves.” He said the number of extra officers his own force used to police town centres on Friday and Saturday nights had increased from five to as many as 18 in the last 10 years because of binge drinking. At the launch of a weeklong campaign aimed at highlighting alcohol harm, Mr Lee also criticised the Government for failing to implement minimum pricing for a unit of
Drunk Tanks Get Police Backing
alcohol in England and Wales. Sir Peter Fahy, vice president of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), said binge-drinking was putting a massive strain on police and health services: “Cheap drink and later opening hours only adds to the problem,” he said. The drunk tank idea came as it emerged that bouncers in pubs and clubs across the UK are to be trained to protect people who are too drunk to look after themselves. The Home Office has instructed the Security Industry Authority to teach all 100,000 licensed door-staff how to prevent “vulnerable” people from coming to harm. Bouncers, who must be trained by the SIA to work in licensed premises, will be given a checklist of actions. These include reuniting people with friends, helping them get a taxi home and, as a last resort, calling the police. Acting Superintendent Bruce Storey, from Northumbria Police, said the new training for bouncers had helped reduce crime in Newcastle since being introduced earlier in the year: “If people have had too much to drink, quite clearly their inhibitions go, their ability to be aware of their surroundings tends to be diminished and the consequences of that are obvious.”
The Drunk Tank Around The World US
The phrase drunk tank originates in the US, where various facilities operate in towns and cities across the country. In Santa Barbara, California, the city council pays a private company to run the Santa Barbara Sobriety Center, where police take drunks as an alternative to jail. Officers can take intoxicated individuals there if they determine that they have not committed any other offence and will not put up resistance. Those lucky enough to end up there are likely to get a warm blanket and counselling from staff before leaving hours later without a stain on their character. But in neighbouring Isla Vista, anyone suspected of public intoxication is immediately arrested and locked up at Santa Barbara County Jail until they sober up. Inmates are generally sent to the tank - designed to be easily hosed down - because they are too drunk to complete the booking process.
Australia
The New South Wales Government has been trialling “sobering up centres” in Sydney, with drunks at risk of being locked up in two locations in the city. A mandatory police-run facility in the city’s Central Business District has sparse cells measuring approximately 8ft x 8ft, while another non-mandatory centre in Coogee is run by a non-government agency. The police-run approach sees people judged to be drunk and disorderly locked up and ordered to pay a
charge for their time in the cells. The non-government centre requires drinkers to agree to their stay, with no charge or fine attached. But the plan has met with opposition from politicians and campaigners who said it was a dangerous, retrograde step. Similar centres already operate in Victoria, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.
Melissa Reid and Michaella McCollum, who have been charged with drug trafficking in Peru could return to the UK to serve their sentences if they plead guilty, prosecutors have confirmed.
qualify for a lighter sentence, which could be served in their home country: “The British citizens agree to the position of the Public Ministry, if they continue with their strategy
they can go to trial. “However, they are able to qualify for an early termination, which means they probably could get a sentence of six to eight years maxi-
Poland
Poland opened the first of its drunk tanks - called Izba Wytrzezwien - to clear unseemly intoxicated people from the streets in 1982. The system survived the fall of communism - and became a hazard for stag do revellers as Western tourism increased. Civil rights organisations have complained that locking people up for 24 hours - sometimes strapped to a bed before charging an £80 release fee, is a gross violation of human rights. The practice of stripping inmates and hosing them down with cold water in an effort to sober them up was banned in 1996 after a visit from European antitorture authorities. But the greatest threat to the Polish drunk tank is government cuts. Austerity measures have seen the number of centres fall from 64 in 1994 to just 34 as councils struggle for funds, with hospitals forced to absorb the problem in many cases. The main hospital in the central town of Kielce saw an increase in drunk admissions from a dozen per month when it had a drunk tank to 160 after the facility shut down.
Peru Pair Could Serve Prison Term In UK
The women, both aged 20, were stopped with cocaine worth £1.5m hidden in food packets in their luggage while trying to board a flight to Spain in August. Reid, from Glasgow, and McCollum, from Dungannon, Co Tyrone, both claim they were forced to carry the 11kg (24lb) of drugs by an armed gang which threatened them and their family members. Peruvian counter narcotics prosecutor Luis Mendoza has suggested the pair could plead guilty and

mum. It’s very possible that they may complete their sentence in the United Kingdom. There is an agreement in our country that those convicted can choose an early ter-
mination procedure, assuming their guilt and paying civil damages and agreeing to the judgement, meaning there is no kind of appeal.” Reid’s family have said she is prepared to plead guilty to drug smuggling charges to “play the game” and avoid a longer sentence. Her father, Billy Reid, told ITV that she is negotiating a plea in the hope she will be sentenced to less than seven years in jail, which would allow her to be transferred to the UK to serve her time. Her mother, Debbie Reid, said she speaks to her daughter every second day over the phone for 10 minutes: “We still believe she was coerced into it, but obviously now we realise she needs to plead guilty, just to get her home basically,” she said. Mr Reid said the plan is to work with the Foreign Office and other agencies to fast-track his daughter’s return to the UK. Reid and McCollum are being held in the notorious Virgen de Fatima prison in the Peruvian capital Lima. They have reportedly told the Peruvian authorities they were working in Ibiza and did not meet before they were both kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to travel to Majorca.

BRITISh actors have recreated Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper for a photograph for the national Portrait Gallery. The photograph is inspired by Leonardo’s original 15th-century work which shows the moment Jesus tells his disciples that one of them will betray him.
KEn norton, who famously defeated Muhammad ali in 1973, has died at the age of 70. The former heavyweight champion had been in poor health for the last few years after suffering a series of strokes, according to a friend. his son announced he had died on Wednesday at a care facility.
Gene Kilroy, who was Ali’s former business manager, said he was sure Norton was “in heaven now with all the great fighters”. Norton broke Ali’s jaw during their first fight, beating him by a split decision in 1973 in a non-title bout in San Diego. Six months later they fought again, with Ali narrowly winning on another split decision. They met for a third time on September 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium and Ali narrowly won again to keep his heavyweight title. Norton fought 50 times during his career, winning 42 matches and losing seven. He held the WBC Heavy-

Among the names who posed for the photograph is Robert Powell, who played the title role in the TV miniseries Jesus of Nazareth. Julie Walters, Sir Michael Gambon and Steven Berkoff are also included. Photographer Alistair Morrison said: “My first two choices were Robert Powell who had to be Jesus … and Julie Walters, who was asked to play Mary Magdalene. Their enthusiasm and influence helped to bring together this outstanding group of actors.” Prints of the photograph, called Actors’ Last Supper, will be sold at the central London gallery’s new prints sales section.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Budget airline Ryanair has been voted as having the worst customer service out of Britain’s 100 leading brands. A league table compiled by consumer champion Which? saw energy giant Npower and phone provider Talk Talk jointly take second-last place.
All were given a customer satisfaction rating and judged out of five stars in three categories – knowledge, staff attitude and dealing with issues. Ryanair was rated lowest, at 54%, and given two stars in each category. Npower and Talk Talk’s customer satisfaction levels were 5% higher than Ryanair, and apart from Npower’s three-star rating for knowledgeable staff, all other categories were rated two-star. Cosmetics firm Lush came top with five stars for all three categories, and a customer rating of 88%, just ahead of shopping chain Lakeland. John Lewis, First Direct, RAC, Waitrose and Amazon followed. The best supermarket was Waitrose, beating Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer and Asda. Richard Dilks, Which? policy adviser, said: ‘Outstanding service can leave you feeling positive, valued and likely to want to repeat the experience. Terrible customer service can leave you feeling stressed, frustrated, angry and, in many cases, never wanting that experience again.’ Many brands that fail to impress

are guilty of the top-ten customer service irritations compiled by Which?, including automated telephone systems, staff trying to sell you products you do not want, being passed around and annoying ‘hold’ music. Long queues, rude staff, standard responses to problems and staff lacking knowledge of their products or services were also featured. Eight out of ten of the 3,331 people polled said friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff and a quick resolution of problems are influential when deciding which companies to use, with 86% claiming they would leave a brand that treated them poorly. Four in ten would be happy to pay more for a brand that delivered better customer service. The no frills airline brushed off the Which? rating. A spokesman said: ‘In August, we had less than one complaint per 1,000 passengers and 99% of them were answered within seven days. ‘Our customer service statistics speak for themselves.’
Record Breaking Grand Theft Auto V
Take-Two Interactive, distributor of Grand Theft Auto V, has reported that the game grossed a record-breaking £496m ($800m) in just 24 hours, almost three times the £170m ($274m) budget used to create and promote the game from Edinburgh-based developer Rockstar North.
It beats the record for single-day game sales, which was set last November by Call
27
Of Duty: Black Ops II, which made £310m ($500m). The company’s chief executive, Strauss Zelnick, said: “Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industries new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence.” The game has not yet been launched in some major markets, including Japan and Brazil. Mr Zelnick added: “Beginning at midnight on Monday, consumers around the world gathered in anticipation to be among the first to experience the evolution of this remarkable series. “In North America alone, more than 8,300 stores opened their doors at midnight to welcome fans.” The game has received widespread critical acclaim. Games website IGN called it a “masterpiece”, and one of the greatest video games ever made, and Edge magazine called it a “remarkable achievement” that sent a message to the rest of the industry - “Beat that”.
A report into eating habits by supermarket Morrison has revealed that many of us are stuck in a ‘repeat meal rut’
Never mind the numerous cookery programmes on TV, the research shows that half of us eat the same meal at least twice a week; we eat an average of just five dishes on rotation and are scared to experiment. The Italian dish spaghetti Bolognese is the most popular meal, followed by a roast dinner, and sausage and mash. A staggering 55% of us are stuck in the past; eating the same meals we did ten years ago. One in three Brits (31%) spend just 20 minutes or less a day preparing their meals. Half (49%) describe their cooking skills as ‘average’ or ‘below average’, and 18% say this is the reason they stick to what they know. Almost half (46%) blame their limited cooking on a lack

of time, the study of 1,000 people found. One in four is ‘unlikely’ to cook a new dish, preferring to stick to traditional British meals like roasts, bangers and mash and shepherd’s pie. This is because we find them easier to prepare (50%), and know they taste good (44%). However, a third of diners (29%) say they do try a new recipe once every three months in a bid to broaden their eating habits.

What is prepared in kitchen scenes must match ex-
T
hE sumptuous meals the Crawley family dine on in style at Downton abbey, are all thanks to food economist Lisa heathcote, she uses period books such as Mrs Beeton’s Book of household Management as inspiration for the menus.
A house like Downton would also have had its own cook book with recipes passed down through generations of cooks. Mrs Patmore and her staff in the kitchen produce a lot of classic French cuisine for the family, says Heathcote, though the ingredients would have been home-grown, meat from their own farm and vegetables from the walled garden.
Food is presented just as it would have been in the period, so poultry arrives at the table with its feet still attached, while a simple pudding of fruit, biscuits and cream looks like an edible masterpiece. ‘They had a finickety way of presenting things to show off their culinary skills – and it’s fun,’ says Heathcote, ‘like painting with food.’ She also prepares the dishes we see on screen but, as delicious as they look, you might not want to eat some of her creations, given the tweaks to ensure they last through long hours of filming. A cake might have a polystyrene base; what looks like whipped cream is likely to be a sturdier pudding mix, while some dishes are so heavily glazed they are ‘solid as a rock!’ Vast quantities of food are required to refresh plates for repeated takes.

A Feast For The Eyes actly with what appears on the table upstairs, though the scenes may be filmed weeks apart, because the kitchen scenes are filmed at Ealing studios and the dining scenes at Highclere. ‘On screen we see a dish in the kitchens, and then seconds later above stairs. But we don’t film it until three or four weeks later, so I’ve got to recreate the same dishes, and make sure they look exactly the same,’ says Heathcote. The food itself has to be served in manageable portions. Joints of meat
are avoided in case several takes of the scene are needed. ‘Once you start carving, you create problems,’ says food economist Lisa Heathcote. ‘You have to think about how many times you’re going to be slicing them up.´ As for the dining room scenes, some actors, she says, like to tuck in, ‘but they have to remember that once they start eating they’ve got to keep doing it on each take.’ So she always puts ‘something inoffensive like watercress or cucumber on the plate so they can push it around a bit’ and look
as though they’re eating. Meanwhile, below stairs, the staff eat simply. ‘They tend to get a lot of bread and cheese, and stew and porridge,’ says Heathcote. The cast admit to nibbling on the dishes that pass through the kitchen on their way to the Earl’s table. ‘But you always regret it!’ says Sophie McShera, who plays Daisy: ‘You start to wonder, “How many people have touched that?”’ When it comes to dining etiquette, historical adviser Alastair Bruce is most particular about table manners. The
effect has been lasting on Michelle Dockery, who plays Mary. She says, ‘We’re always reminded of how we must present ourselves, how we should move and how we must eat at the dinner table – and it definitely influences you in your daily life. When Laura Carmichael (Edith) and I were out for dinner one night I remember someone commenting that we were sitting with our hands off the table, as we had been taught to do on Downton.’ Downton’s dinner parties would make the most practised host fret. ‘If you are doing a dinner party scene,’ Jim Carter, who plays Mr Carson, explains, ‘you have to reset the levels of the glasses, the food on the plates, the candles, in every shot for continuity. It’s relentless.’ In the new series, there’s a controversial new addition to the Downton kitchen – an electric mixer. One from
the right vintage was sourced from America on eBay, sent to prop makers who restored it, it was rewired by an electrician – to make it safe and to make it work. Mrs Patmore hates it. It’s her young and ‘modern’ assistant Daisy who insists the kitchen needs one. ‘Mrs Patmore loathes the mixer, which scares her, but Daisy doesn’t,’ says Sophie McShera, who plays Daisy. ‘She makes soufflés with it, She’s happily embracing the modern technology.’ What the older woman fears is not just the machine but that aids like it will reduce the need for staff. ‘The introduction of electronic devices scares her because she doesn’t know where it will end,’ says Lesley Nicol, who plays Mrs Patmore. ‘Time will later confirm her fears.’

united airlines free tickets Blunder
United airlines has confirmed it will honour tickets it accidentally gave away for free.
The decision is good news for people who snapped up the tickets after United accidentally listed airfares at $0. Several customers got tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of a security fee. Airlines have posted so-called “mistake fares” before and generally decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not to honour the ticket. United has not revealed how many free tickets it accidentally gave away, or how much the mistake cost. The $0 fares were available on the airline’s website for a few hours last Thursday. United eventually stopped taking bookings on the site until the problem was fixed.

frog photobombs naSa Launch
a FRoG was caught mid-flight by a camera taking pictures of the launch of nasa’s LaDEE spacecraft. The camera on a sound trigger captured the flying amphibian silhouetted against the smoke and flames of the spacecraft taking off from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
“The photo team confirms the frog is real and was captured in a single frame by one of the remote cameras used to photograph the launch,” Nasa said on its Instagram page. The unlucky creature, possibly living in local wildlife refuge which consists mainly of salt marsh and woodlands, strayed into a “high-volume water deluge pool” thinking it was a giant pond. The pool prevents fires and cuts noise as a rocket takes off. Nasa said that the fate of the frog after its giant leap was “uncertain” The rocket launch pad is within the 3,000 acres of Wallops Island, much of which is the wildlife refuge. “Nasa’s launch facilities, roads, and facilities take up a small percentage of the area,” the space agency
said. “The rest of the area remains undeveloped and provides excellent habitat for wildlife. During launches, short term disturbance occurs in the immediate vicinity of the launch pads, but the disturbance is short-
lived allowing space launches and a wildlife habitat to coexist.” The unmanned LADEE mission, or Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, will measure the thin lunar atmosphere from orbit.

Trekkers R2 Annoyed!!
Trekkers the name given to the most loyal of Star Trek fans are fuming at the discovery of yet another trespass of rival franchise, Star Wars, beloved Astromech Droid R2D2, in the latest instalment of ‘Trek!!!
Eagle eyed geeks had spotted C3P0’s stumpy little pal in the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, directed by J.J Abrams a full 4 years before he was given the reins to the biggest space saga of all time,(for those of you who been living in space, he’s directing the new instalment of Star Wars). R2 had been craftily snuck into a space battle scene by cheeky spe-
cial effects people and now in the sequel, Star Trek-Into Darkness the little fella´s back, in a scene where he’s sucked into space along with space debris, 17 minutes in. I’ve seen both clips and he’s clearly there when it is slowed down, magnified, frozen and pointed to by the cursor god knows who originally spotted it you need to get out more and, you know, meet girls!! The latest Star Trek movies aren’t the first movies, TV series and even posters in which hidden things have been placed in the hope a keen eyed fan will spot it: 1: R2 also pops up in “Close Encounters” as part of the rear of the mothership he and his golden BFF, C3P0, also pop up in “Raiders of the
Spin off City! Lost Ark” as hieroglyphics on a tomb wall. 2: When the “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull” was in production every effort was made to keep the plot details secret, but in this poster on display over a year before the movie was released, if you look closely between the skull eye socket, an alien figure can be seen! 3: Pixar are experts at inserting characters from their other movies often ones that are not yet made like Nemo popping up 2 years early in “Monsters Inc.” Mr Incredible shows up in “Finding Nemo” and Dug the dog from “Up” chases Remy the rat in “Ratatouille”! 4: “Apocalypto”, Mel Gibson’s Mayan epic has a scene (only in the theatrical cut, it was removed on the DVD) in which the camera pans over a mass grave with literally hundreds of bodies, one frame reveals someone lying atop the corpses dressed as Waldo! 5: Anyone who’s ever seen “ET, The Extraterrestrial” will remember the little girl dressed as Yoda for Halloween. Apparently George Lucas promised Steven Spielberg that he would return the favour by including ET in Star Wars episode 1. Sure enough, years later in a scene at the Galactic Senate you can clearly see 3 ET’s (known in the SW universe as Grebleips-try reading it backwards). 6: I can find no proof at all of this but according to a lot of Star Wars reference books (and I’ve read a lot) in the forests of Endor scene in “Return of the Jedi” a matte painter has painted Winnie the Pooh into one of the trees!!

All good things must come to an end unless it’s the world of popular TV and Film ´cos then all good things get their own spinoff!!
With the critically acclaimed AMC series “Breaking Bad” drawing to a close, the cable channel has announced that fans of Walter White and the world created around him, will be getting a chance to see one of the show’s most popular supporting characters, criminal lawyer Saul Goodman in his own prequel/ spin-off. “Better Call Saul” will focus on the characters early career before he became Walter White’s lawyer. This announcement comes only a couple of weeks after it was announced that “Supernatural “, the story of monster/demon hunters Sam and Dean Winchester, now into its 9th season, will receive a spinoff focusing on a different group of hunters based in Chicago. “The Vampire Diaries” already has a sister show in the can, “The Originals” set to air this October, focusing on ancient vamp Klaus and his family, and Warner Bros obviously weren’t going to let the cash cow that was “Harry Potter” dry up-the studio and J.K. Rowling have announced they are making a series of movies centred around the Hogwarts textbook “Fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find Them”. Starting 70 years before Harry’s story, it will centre on the adventures of the book’s writer, Newt Scamander and will be based in New York. Of course, the spin-off is nothing new, many of us will remember watching “Happy Days” after school, but did you know that it was a spin-off from a series called “Love, American Style” and spawned a huge SEVEN of its own (Mork & Mindy, Laverne & Shirley, Joanie loves Chachi, Out of the Blue, Blansky’s Beauties and two animated series). “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” a TV series adapted from a movie of the same name had a successful spin-off based around the Vampire with a soul “Angel”. “Frasier” was a character in “Cheers” but there was a 2nd series “The Tortellis” based around Carla’s ex-husband (no, I’ve no idea either!). Few will remember that “The Simpsons” started life as a weekly
sketch on “The Tracey Ullman Show” which lasted 4 seasons Homer & Co. are on their 24th season making it the longest running TV show in American History, not bad for 3 minute animated sketch!! But for every “Frasier” there is a “Joey” (“Friends”) for every “Simpsons” a “Lone Gunmen” (“X-Files”), you can’t just hang on the coat tails of your parent show, fresh writing and interesting characters are essential unless you want to be the spin-off that tea-time forgot!

eurovision fix Claims investigated
oVER the years, British complaints that the Eurovision Song Contest is fixed have always been dismissed as sour grapes. however, it seems that our concerns may have been justified. organisers are investigating claims that several countries bought votes from others at this year’s final.

Second-placed Azerbaijan, which has been awarded the maximum 12 points by Malta for four years running, has been accused of attempting to bribe jury members as well as paying Lithuanian students to vote multiple times. Macedonia has been accused of trying to set up a vote-swapping scheme with other countries to ensure a high place in the competition. The claims have been made by an anonymous official involved in this year’s competition, which was held in Malmo, Sweden. The insider was contacted by several delegations keen to arrange voterigging schemes; they told Swedish newspaper Skanska Dagbladet. The executive, from an unknown delegation, claimed the Azerbaijani contingent offered ‘enough money to
live for a year’ in return for high points. The source added: ‘I know of at least three other countries that are doing this kind of agreement backstage, even if they have not contacted me personally.’ In May the Azerbaijani delegation was accused of handing out mobile phone SIM cards to Lithuanian students and paying them to vote. Lithuanian news website 15min published a secretly recorded film which allegedly shows them being offered 20 Euros each by Russian-speaking men to support Azerbaijan in this year’s final. The country, which hosted last year’s Eurovision and won in 2011, regularly receives maximum points from countries including Lithuania, Malta, Bulgaria and Israel. The Azerbaijani entry this year, which finished second
to Denmark, was Hold Me sung by Farid Mammadov. In June this year’s UK entrant Bonnie Tyler claimed she overheard Russians asking why they didn’t get votes they had bought. The singer, who came 19th out of 26, said: ‘The next day the Russians were complaining to Azerbaijan – “Why didn’t you give us the ten points we paid for?” ’ Another source said: ‘I am not surprised by the claims. On the night, Bonnie got the biggest reaction in the arena, and all over Malmo she was mobbed. It was almost impossible for her to get such a bad score.’ Eurovision Song Contest event supervisor Sietse Bakker said the corruption claims were being investigated by the European Broadcasting Union.

SharpLeS in SeSSion By John Sharples
trial By press monster Hit
ThE trials of the rich and famous have begun. Just last week Michael Le Vell of Coronation Street walked free from court having been found not guilty. Bill Roach will be in court in January and it looks like Dave Lee Travis and Rolf harris will appear soon too.
I was delighted that Michael was found to be not guilty but have become concerned by the opinions of some people about the result of the case. A small number of people have spouted that “there is no smoke without fire”. Well, all I can say is that the legal system has to be respected and remember one thing! It is the responsibility of the prosecution to prove that a crime has been committed and not the defence’s responsibility to prove a person’s innocence. Any one of us could end up in court accused of all manner of crimes that we hadn’t committed. Just imagine what a nightmare it would be to live through two years of hell, waiting for a trial, not knowing whether you can ful-
ly trust the system to work for you. Being someone in the public eye, Michael could have lost his job and he would have had great difficulty finding any work at all. I believe that the time has come to make sure that the accused people are protected as much as the accusers. They are able to keep their names and faces out of the press and media. Until a person is found guilty, their faces and names should be kept secret. We have all seen people’s lives ruined by that old
adage “muck sticks”! Michael Barrymore was found innocent of any crimes and the press ruined his career for him and lost us one of our funniest entertainers. Peter Adamson was found innocent years ago (Len Fairclough in Coronation Street). He lost his job and went down the pan very quickly. The same has happened to many others. I hope that Michael Le Vell is able to pick himself off and get back to work and put the whole charade behind him.
french fries Back on the menu
REMEMBER when the american people fell out with France. They renamed their chips freedom fries. The word on the street is that they are once again being called French fries since France has shown support for President obama in the Syria crisis. I don’t know why they don’t just call them chips and be done with it!
By the way! French Fries are probably Belgian. It is thought that the name French fries was used because the language being spoken in the region of Belgium that invented them was French. Just think, they could have been called Flem fries which doesn’t really sound very appetizing. There are others who believe that they were invented in Spain. Wherever they were invented or whatever the Americans call them, I will stick with good old fashioned “Chips” ……. Oh and a pot of mushy peas please!
I LoVED the Jurassic Park movies. Their blockbuster effects and great stories made millions of pounds around the world and millions want to see more. The powers that be, including Mr Spielberg
are rebooting the movie franchise and setting the story in a modern day working theme park. Something is bound to go wrong and there will be bedlam on the screen once again. The movie was originally planned for 2014 but it looks like it will raise its ugly head in 2015 now. I for one can’t wait!
old Bags!
EVERy time I go shopping and I see that a carrier bag costs 5 cents for environmental reasons I get annoyed. It costs 5 cents so that the shop can make more money.
They don’t donate all the money to green causes at all. If only I could remember to put some old bags in the car. Then when I arrive at the supermarket, if only I could remember to take the flipping things into the shop, I have more carrier bags than Sainsbury’s at home. Maybe I should stand outside Mercadona supermarket giving out my old carrier bags as a good deed for the day!
Crazy World Continued! a CoMPany in the United States has come up with a £250 glueon mask for women which they say acts as an alternative to plastic surgery or having to spend time getting made up.
The mask is called a “Uniface” and its inventor Zhuoying Li who is a graduate at the New School for Design in New York says that the mask offers a “lifetime’s worth of confidence” “Uniface is a dream
fulfilling face that satisfies today’s beauty standards,” according to the company’s website. It has giant anime eyes, long lashes
and a high nose bridge. The chin and cheeks are narrow and cartoon like. The makers say that it is “an all in one product for a lifetime’s worth of confidence.” They say “Simply spray on our cell-blending glue, and put on the mask. Your beautiful life will start from here! I can think of a few women who might benefit from this ground breaking technology! What a load of old clack. I might get Lorna the editor one, what do our readers think?”

1,300-Year-old tomb discovered
aRChaEoLoGISTS have unearthed the 1,300-year-old tomb, near the airport in xianyang in China’s north eastern Shaanxi province, of one of ancient China’s most powerful women.
However, the tomb of Shangguan Wan’er, was empty of a coffin or any relics. The tomb was around 36 metres long and 10 metres deep with skylights, a corridor and several vaults. A carved epitaph inside the tomb described in detail Shangguan’s fam-
ily background and achievements. Archaeologists believe the rest of the chamber’s contents were lost during co-ordinated, intentional “tomb destroying”, according to state broadcaster CCTV. Shangguan, who lived between 664 and 710, was a close aide of

She is celebrated in Chinese literature and poetry and is commonly referred to as a prime minister, such was her standing within the Tang dynasty. Yu Gengzhe, a professor of history and humanities at Shaanxi Normal University, said: “Shangguan Wan’er’s life had two key characteristics: “One is that she was highly talented, her poetry and writings were widely respected. The other is that she was powerful. She was a confidential secretary of Wu Zetian and
because of this, whatever the empress did had great influence upon her. After Zetian, there were a large number of women who yearned for power. Shangguan Wan’er was one of them.” The rapid urbanisation of China in recent decades has revealed countless new artefacts and tombs. Previous discoveries have included a fossilised mammoth’s skull, paved surfaces dating back 200,000 years and the vast Liuzhuang ruins in Henan province, where hundreds of tombs have been excavated.

Y
ou probably think that you know what a fig is and that it is a juicy fruit of the fig tree and that is correct but there are fig species that are not called figs! Some are called banyan trees and one is the Indian rubber plant.
You see there is a very large genus of plants known to botanists as Ficus with at least 850 species in it and Ficus really means fig. The common fig we all know and that is grown all over the island is Ficus carica. This is the species that has been cultivated to produce the fruit we can buy. There are many more shrubs, vines and trees that are called figs and most of them have edible fruits though these may be very small or not really suitable for eating. However, some fig species we know by names that do not indicate that they are in the Ficus genus. The India rubber tree, which is often grown as an indoor plant in many parts of the world, is F. elastica. It

When Is A Fig Not A Fig? Fruit of the Australian banyan
Australian Banyan
grows very well outside here on Tenerife and can make a very large tree. The Australian banyan (F. macrophylla) grows on the island too and there are magnificent specimens in
Icod de los Vinos in the main square and in Puerto de la Cruz in the botanic gardens. This tree is also called the Moreton Bay fig which reveals what family it really belongs to. The Australian banyan is a good
Ficus elastica
Aerial roots on Ficus elastica
example of a “strangler fig” and this means a type of fig that starts life as an epiphyte growing in the branches of a tree or in a crack in its trunk. It soon gets bigger and bigger and eventually covers and can kill the host. It does this by throwing down aerial roots and these thicken and form new trunks. I know of a palm tree in Puerto where this is happening. The seed of an Australian banyan has germinated in a crevice where the old leaves were high on the trunk of a palm and is already putting its roots down towards the ground and shooting its branches upward. It is right alongside a road so it will be cut back or even destroyed but if it was left to develop naturally eventually the palm would get smothered by all the branches, trunks and roots of the strangler fig that had made it its victim. There are many more species of fig grown on Tenerife that are ornamental trees. One that is commonly seen is the fiddle-leaved fig (F. lyrata). It has very big violin-shaped evergreen leaves. These leaves go brown and fall off when dead and often lie on the ground under these trees. The sycamore fig (F. sycomorus) forms a very large tree with smooth grey bark. It has evergreen leaves too and smallish fruit that are eaten in Africa. It can reach 20 metres in height so is only grown in parks and squares. As a matter of interest it is the sycamore tree mentioned in
Uses for the Common Fig
Figs are grown for their fruit and also as an ornamental plant for parks and gardens. The common fig can be grown in the UK.
Figs can be eaten fresh or dried. The dried fruits are often sold packaged and, like dates, are popular foods to be eaten at Christmas in Britain. Figs are used to make the fruity filling for the biscuits known as fig rolls. Syrup of figs is taken as a laxative. Figs are very healthy fruit to eat. They have antioxidants, many minerals and are a good source of dietary fibre.
Ficus lyrata
the Bible. The Indian laurel (F. nitida) also has grey bark and can become a large tree. It has small evergreen leaves and is often planted in squares. Sadly it often gets covered in an infestation of mealy bugs that cover the leaves with whitish sticky powder.. The weeping fig (F. benjamina) is another species of fig tree that is often planted in Tenerife and also grown as an indoor plant when planted in large pots. A variegated form exists which is very popular. The clown fig (F.aspera) also has variegated leaves that are mottled with dark and light green and whitish-cream. This makes it another shrub that is often grown as a houseplant because of its very attractive looks. The Chinese banyan is known to botanists as Ficus microcarpa. Like the other banyans it can grow very big and should not be planted near buildings. Fig species are unusual in not having ordinary flowers with petals but instead have their tiny florets enclosed inside a receptacle known as a syconium that after fertilization becomes the fruit. Pollination of figs is done by tiny fig wasps that lay their eggs inside and what is really incredible is that each type has its own species of wasp. If these insects are not present then the fruit cannot develop normally. Ficus species also all have a whitish or yellowish sap that bleeds if they are cut. In the Indian rubber tree it is collected and turned into the material we can use. This is not done anywhere near as often though as it was in the past because the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the species usually grown now for commercial rubber production. What a fascinating family of trees the figs and banyans are!

Also known as the Bard of Ely, the Green Bard has a Green Beard, as can be seen in the photo. He is an expert on nature and loves to write about wildlife and conservation. He has a very wide knowledge of edible plants, foraging and herbs.
He was quoted as a “Weed expert” in The Ecologist. The Green Bard, though originally from Cardiff in Wales, is currently based in Tenerife where he has successfully reared many Monarch butterflies on plants grown on his apartment balcony. In May, 2012, at the English Library in Puerto de la Cruz he gave a talk on the Flora and Fauna of Tenerife to a full house and has been invited back to be a guest speaker again.

aquarius 20 January to 18 February
A chat with a friend could give you a fresh perspective on how to deal with any career or job challenges. Be open to changing your point of view. This may be necessary in order to take advantage of current progressive influences. On another note, don’t let fear or insecurity make you lash out, especially if someone is trying to help you. A Full Moon in your shopping zone midweek might encourage you to want to spend in order to feel good. Enjoy it, but go easy!
Pisces 19 February to 20 March
Life happens when you take a walk on the wild side. Something inside may be urging you on and encouraging you to let go of patterns that have kept you down. You are so much bigger in reality, and in your heart you know it. You might have to lose something in order to gain something, and that could be security, which may be an illusion anyway. Enjoy this week’s Full Moon in your sign. It could coincide with the fulfillment of a desire, goal, or dream.
aries 21 March to 19 April
Managing resources could be a theme this week. You might want to change tactics if you have debts or other financial issues. Cooperating with key people may be essential to your success. Career matters could make a leap in progress, especially if you make a key decision. Just when you need to be at your shrewdest and most practical a Pisces Full Moon, which is great for parties and celebrations, could give you that spaced-out feeling while bringing a secret to light.
Taurus 20 April to 20 May
Relationships could be intense and also need careful handling. You could be dealing with someone who wants to play their cards close to the chest, so you will need to read between the lines. You could be working with aspects of the law, too. If so, be sure to read the fine print on any documents. The Full Moon could bring things to a head, but try not to overreact even if you’re tempted to. You could be delighted by some upbeat news on the work front, however!
Gemini 21 May to 21 June
You may be very businesslike and eager to get what you want, but someone else may be equally determined. Don’t tiptoe around this week - you could lose out. You might have to work on a strategy that pulls no punches. However, the Full Moon on September 19 could dash your resolve by highlighting your emotions when you really need to be strong. Keep your focus on your goal and try not to let it waver. The Sun’s move into Libra might bring romantic opportunities, too.
Cancer 22 June to 22 July
Even though Saturn in your romance zone and Pluto in your relationship zone make a friendly angle this week, you may still wonder what’s hit you. Intense emotions, which could contain traces of anger or resentment, might make it hard to show your caring and loving side. Perhaps something needs to change. However, any changes you do make might have to be quite radical. The Pisces Full Moon could bring a positive and powerful insight if you can be still long enough to catch it.
Leo 23 July to 22 August
You might be ready for action, but you might need a stronger approach to getting things done if you want to make headway this week. Issues linked with home and lifestyle affairs could be in need of some sort of transformation. This might even equate to structural changes to your place so that you can move ahead with new plans. Despite this being a no-nonsense week, it does have a spiritual quality to it. It could make you aware that whatever is happening has a reason and a purpose.
Virgo 23 August to 22 September
You might need to go back to the drawing board concerning a possibly flawed creative project. This could be a week of intense discussions and ongoing conversations around the issue of what should be done next. What you eventually decide may be nothing like your original plan. A romance could also start to unravel, but it might be saved by the Pisces Full Moon, as it encourages expression of those deeper feelings. Surrender to the magic and it may all be OK.
Libra 23 September to 23 October
You may want to cut back on expenses and consider ways to recycle more things. There’s a rather intense energy focused on your personal financial zone that’s encouraging you to make the most of what you have while learning how to be more resourceful. In fact, you may be applying these ideas to your home and family life. Although the Sun entering your sign this week brings an energy boost, consider taking a more relaxed schedule on September 19 to coincide with the Full Moon.
Scorpio 24 October to 21 November
You could find this to be a rather intense week, but then you might also enjoy the challenges that come with it. You could be moving through a period of change, and the current influences seem to be bringing this to a head. Over the coming days don’t be surprised if you feel so squeezed in a certain situation that the decision to do something about it morphs into practical action. Romantic options are showing up for you, too, although you might be busy with other things.
Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December
If you find yourself quietly seething over some incident, it could be because you failed to stand up for yourself or compromised too much and now regret it. Perhaps what the current setup is trying to tell you is that it’s time to be clear about who you are and what you want. Get ready for a Full Moon in your home zone, which might make this a great week for a party or get-together, so long as you’re prepared for it to be fun and noisy.
Capricorn 22 December to 19 January
Pluto turns direct in your sign this week, so you may feel like you’re heading for a mini rebirth over the coming weeks and months. Plus, other powerful influences could be encouraging you to take stock of your needs, especially in connection with your social circle. Whether you make a decision to distance yourself from certain people or it happens naturally, see it as a sign that the transformation has already begun. It’s onward and upward from here as new friends could come with exciting benefits.

Big Yin’s Cancer Surgery
BILLy Connolly, 70, has undergone surgery for prostate cancer, a spokeswoman for the star has confirmed. he is also being treated for the “initial symptoms” of Parkinson’s disease it has been revealed.
The actor and comic, who first made his name on the Scottish folk music circuit, will continue to work in TV and on stage. His spokeswoman said: “Billy Connolly recently underwent minor surgery in America after being diagnosed with the very early stages of prostate cancer. The operation was a total success, and Billy is fully recovered. “In addition, Billy has been assessed as having the initial symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, for which he is receiving the appropriate treatment. Billy has been assured by experts that the findings will in no way inhibit or affect his ability to work, and he will start filming a TV series in the near future, as well as undertaking an extensive theatrical tour of New Zealand in the New Year.” The Glasgow-born star, affectionately known as the Big Yin, began his working life in the Clyde shipyards before moving into entertainment with folk singing and comedy performances. A string of appearances on Michael Parkinson’s chat show made him a household name and helped launch a career that saw him perform sell-out stand-up shows around the world, present a series of documentaries and become an in-demand character actor. He is married to New Zealand-born actress, comedienne and psychologist Pamela Stephenson, whose biography of her husband, simply called Billy, was a huge bestseller. He is one of around 127,000 Britons with Parkinson’s disease, which is caused by a loss of brain cells that produce a chemical messenger called dopamine. Symptoms differ from case to case but often include a tremor or fine shake while the person is at rest, rigidity of muscles, slowness of movement and unsteady balance. Other possible symptoms can include memory loss. Earlier this year, Connolly admitted he had started to forget his lines during
performances. He said at the time: “This is ******* terrifying. I feel like I’m going out of my mind.” Actor Bob Hoskins announced his retirement last year after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Michael J Fox was diagnosed with the disease more than 20 years ago and continues to act. There is no cure for Parkinson’s and
scientists have been unable to work out why people get the condition. Symptoms can be controlled using a combination of drugs, therapies and occasionally surgery, but often more care and support may be needed as they progress. Connolly was made a CBE in the 2003 Queen’s Birthday Honours and awarded the freedom his home city in 2010.

Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate – which do you prefer? I got a request a while back by some regular customers at Vivo who visit our Carvery every Sunday and asked for “something really Chocolatey” as a special dessert the following week. I settled for melt in the middle chocolate puddings, and after incorporating them as a special; it was such a success that we are now serving them each Sunday. One week you might get a Dark chocolate one – the following week it maybe a white chocolate one you never know! This inspired me to look at some other chocolate ideas…. Here are a great couple of things for you to try… There is a cheat with the croissants, but I will let you into that one a little later!
Chocolate Fever!
Chocolate Croissants Ingredients:
Yeast mix: 20g plain flour 1 package of instant yeast 80ml of warm milk Croissant base: 300g plain flour 40g icing sugar 1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs 80g soft butter
Filling: 12 teaspoons of Nutella Glaze: 1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon milk
Method: It is very easy to make and it will only take you 30 minutes. Firstly, prepare the yeast, mix the yeast, flour, milk, cover and let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the dough. In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt and sugar. Add butter, egg and mix until you obtain a firm, smooth
dough. Knead for a dozen minutes then add the yeast and continue to knead for 5 minutes. Put the dough in a clean bowl, cover and let it rise until it doubles its volume. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 5 mm so to obtain a circle. Using a cutting wheel, cut 12 triangles and put a teaspoon
of nutella on the base of each triangle. Start to roll the dough base until the end. Then transfer them to a plate covered with baking paper. Allow them time to double their volume again. Whilst the dough is rising, mix the egg yolk with the tablespoon of milk and brush the surface of your croissant with the egg-milk mixture. Cook them in a preheated oven at 180°C degrees for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
Chocolate Bowls
Ssshhhhhhhh….. Here’s the cheat! – Lidl are selling the most wonderful croissant dough in a can! It is fantastic stuff, open the tin, and the dough pops out,,, all you have to do is cut the scored lines and fill it with the chocolate spread, roll them up and bake the croissants a little cooler in the oven than the recommended time on the tin! Available in the fridge section at all Lidl supermarkets across the island.
Method:
Blow up the balloons (you want them small and round, like little bowls). Melt the chocolate in a plastic heat proof bowl set on top of a pan of hot water. Chocolate, Chocolate & Chocolate - Dark, Milk Whilst it melts, get a sheet of baking paper and lay it on a flat surface; now place a small amount of or White – whatever you prefer! Balloons! chocolate on the paper and spread it into little disks to form a sort of base to stop your bowls from tipping over. Next, carefully dip each balloon (about 1/2 to 3/4 of balloon) into the melted chocolate and set on top of the chocolate disks on parchment paper. When you have made the batch pop them into the fridge for 30 minutes to cool properly. Remove them and carefully snip the top of the balloon with scissors to deflate the balloon. Remove all evidence of the balloon and fill with freshly whipped cream and strawberries or whatever you prefer!

It’s funny to think that the Aston Martin DB5 was not actually intended to be called anything of the sort. This extensive evolution of the DB4 was actually supposed to be called the Series 6, until a last minute change of heart.
It’s difficult to envisage telling the DB5’s story without mentioning the James Bond films, Goldfinger and Thunderball, not least the newer films in which it has made a cameo but as its maker proclaimed the DB5 ‘the most famous car in the world’ after the films, it’s a matter of fact that they have a bearing on values and classic appeal. The DB5’s styling was much smoother than the DB4’s - clearly evolutuionary, but also a step forward, with more faired-in headlamps, and a smoother rear end. And for many, the DB5 ended up being the ultimate incarnation of this family of Aston Martins. The engine was upgraded to 4.0-litres, too, and offered 282bhp as standard, with314bhp for the Vantage. Disc
Aston Martin DB5 (1963 - 1966)
brakes were fitted all-round, and all but the very earliest cars had five gears – less entertaining were the autos. As before, it was possible to buy the DB5 in a number of body variations. As well as the rare Radford DB5 shooting brake estates, it was also possible to buy an open-topped DB5 - although Aston Martin still had yet to apply the Volante name to these cars. Additional bracing added structural rigidity and compensated for the lack of a roof, although the complex superleggera structure meant the DB5 could cope well with some of its original strength removed. Production of the coupe (which Aston Martin called a saloon) ended in 1965 but 37 convertibles were built afterwards. Aston Martin would subsequently use the Volante name to describe all its soft-tops. The Superleggera construction is as the DB5 saloon’s and the styling was carried over to the DB6 Volante.
New Fiat 500L MPW
The latest member of the Fiat 500L range has now arrived.
This newcomer combines the Fiat 500 charm and agility with the comfort and contents of a C-segment car but with the space and versatility of a people carrier. It is available in either a five seat or an optional 5+2 seat configuration. As a people carrier it is the most compact 5+2-seater in its segment, measuring just 4,352mm in length, 1784mm in width and 1,667mm in height, while still offering the same kind of
load-carrying versatility of the five-seat version when its rearmost seats are folded flat and stored neatly under the boot the floor. The new Fiat 500L MPW will be offered in two trim levels: Pop Star and Lounge. The Pop Star version includes air conditioning, cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels, a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Uconnect, six airbags, a full suite of stability and traction control safety systems as well as rear parking sensors. The Lounge version has all the specification of the Pop Star but
adds rear electric windows, front fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, rain sensors, front seats with seat back tables and storage nets, an electro-chromatic rear view mirror, rear privacy glass, floor mats and an electric glass sunroof. The new
Fiat 500L MPW offers equipment worthy of a car in a much higher segment. Four engine options are available the 95hp 1.4-litre petrol (5-seat only) the 105hp 0.9 TwinAir petrol the 85hp 1.3 MultiJet (also available with the Dualogic automatic transmission) and
the 105hp 1.6-litre MultiJet. There are nine different exterior colours to choose from plus a variety of contrasting roof and mirror colour combinations. To complete the look there is also a range of alloy wheels in different sizes to choose from. Fiat recently launched the
Mercedes Benz new Mile Tracker App
Mercedes Benz has launched a brand new App ‘the mile tracker app’ which has been created to support everyday business travel. It can
calculate fuel costs, summarise journey details and even locate a vehicle once it is parked. The app is free and available for iP-
Fiat 500L in March and the 500L Trekking in June, this latest release from Fiat really can be considered a family car it is extremely spacious and can obviously get plenty in the boot. It will not only appeal to families but also to the younger generation due as it still portrays a fun style.
hone and Android users, the key elements include the ‘GPS-based Mileage Tracker’, the ‘Journey Log’ and the ‘Locate My Car’ function. It will also include a ‘Fuel Station Finder’ when released to Mercedes Benz customers later in the year. Nick Andrews, Head of Fleet for Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars, said “we developed the new MercedesBenz Mile Tracker to be the first app to combine GPS-based mileage tracker with a journey and expenses log and parking locator. The new app shows our continued commitment to providing efficient fleet solutions to company car drivers and everyone involved in running a successful fleet operation.” A great time waster for car drivers is arriving in unfamiliar territory parking and then finding the way back to where they parked. Again this fantastic app comes to the rescue. The ‘Locate my Car’ feature simply saves the location on the app’s map, writing a description of the location, and setting a ticket time reminder which uses the smart phone’s functionality. When returning to the vehicle, users simply press the ‘route’ button to be shown the quickest way back to the car. This could be an app that we all would like especially in those supermarket car parks when you leave the store and just can’t make out where you left the car.

Filmed at BBC Television Centre’s Studio One, the same studio in which Strictly Come Dancing is filmed, the programme will be a glorious romp through Sir Bruce’s career, celebrating some of his famous performances and some moments that not many people know about. As Sir Bruce recounts his childhood inspirations, career highlights - such as singing with Nat King Cole - and treats the audience to an impromptu tap dance and piano solo, Sir Bruce reveals his passion for the genre to which he has contributed so much of his life.

The Fried Chicken Shop Editor Recommends Channel 4 - 21:00 - 22:00
The series delving into the world of fried chicken, the staff who serve it and the huge variety of customers who buy it continues.
All walks of life cross in the Fried Chicken Shop as people tell their life stories, friendships are formed and love and laughter spill out into the early hours. Rayon is an absent father out for lunch with his best mate’s children, while, on the other side of the counter, Chicken Shop manager Zahid has left his family behind in Pakistan to fulfil his dreams and provide for his family’s future: similar issues in different lives with different perspectives come
together in the same place. Love is captured and played out in The Chicken Shop, from three girls on the pull flirting with boys over cheesy chips to a new couple snogging and declaring undying love over a tub of mayonnaise. Race and opportunity are explored over a takeaway in Brixton. Hopeful rapper Paul from the first episode returns, showing off his French rhyming skills. And Rayon defends the honour of Captain Jack Sparrow when trouble kicks off. The ever-present cameras capture every moment of life over one hot month in The Fried Chicken Shop.

The Three Day Nanny Editor Recommends Channel 4 - 20:00 - 21:00
Professional nanny Kathryn Mewes helps restore peace and calm to households in distress using her unique three day plan for families. In this episode, it’s triple trouble as Kathryn is in Horley in Surrey to meet the Woods family, where the lives of parents Sam and Jason are blighted by the daily barrage of tantrums and bad behaviour of their four-
year-old triplets Abbey, Chloe and Emma. With the couple in danger of splitting up over how to discipline - dad believes in smacking, while mum firmly disagrees - the family are at breaking point. Nanny Mewes moves into the family home to implement her three day action plan. When Kathryn’s focus quickly shifts from the girls onto Sam and Jason, will her suspicions that the parents are the root of the family’s problems prove true?

Tenerife Weekly - 20th September 2013 - 26th September 2013
a LIonS and England rugby player has apologised to Prime Minister David Cameron after making a “bunny ears” gesture behind his head during a photocall.
Manu Tuilagi, 22, played the prank while standing next to the Prime Minister as the British and Irish Lions team posed for pictures in Downing Street. The players had been invited to Number 10 after their series victory over Australia this summer, which they won 2-1. As they gathered on the steps outside, with a large toy lion on the floor in front of them, Tuilagi reached out to hold his fingers behind Mr Cameron’s head. After the event, the Leicester Tigers player took to his Twitter page to express his remorse. He wrote: “Apologies for
messing around on Lions photo. No offence intended. Great Day at Downing Street. Thanks to Prime Minister for hosting us.” It is not the first time that Tuilagi, who was born in Samoa, has been at the centre of controversy. He was fined £3,000 by the Rugby Football Union for jumping from a ferry during England’s World Cup campaign in New Zealand in 2011. He was cautioned by police on that occasion and disciplined by then England coach Martin Johnson. After the Downing Street prank, teammates also reacted through Twitter. Ben Youngs, a fellow Lions, England and Leicester player, wrote: “The man @Manutuilagi just couldn’t stop himself.” Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns tweeted: “Great bottle from Manu Tuilagi! Haha. #chief.”

Bunny ears apology
grandpa Wins armstrong Hands Back medal tour of Spain
DISGRaCED cyclist Lance armstrong has handed back the bronze medal he won at the Sydney olympics in 2000 to the US olympic Committee. The International olympic Committee stripped armstrong of the time-trial medal in January after he confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs during his career.
ChRIS horner, nicknamed ‘Grandpa’ by his peers, made more than one landmark when he won the Tour of Spain on Sunday at the age of 41.
American Horner is the first rider from the United States to win cycling’s third Grand Tour. Andy Hampsten won the Giro d’Italia in 1988 and Greg LeMond took the Tour de France in 1985. At almost 42, it makes Horner the oldest Grand Tour winner by a large margin. The father-of-three, who lives in Bend, Oregon, outstrips the Vuelta’s oldest previous winner, Tony Rominger of Switzerland in 1994, by nine years, and he is almost six years older than the Tour de France’s most senior winner, Fermin Lambot of France in 1922. “How long will I continue racing? I have no idea. At least two or three years would be good,” the RadioShack rider told the press before the start of Sunday’s final stage: “If my legs are still turning the same way, I will continue. “But I hope people appreciate everything I’ve done, it’s so complicated to get to this level. This is the hardest victory of my career so far,” added Horner, a professional of 19 years, who said he did not yet have a contract for 2014. The problem is my age. If I was 20, it would be very different, 50 different teams would be offering me a job.”
In 2005, aged 33, he took part in his first three-week stage race, the Tour de France, finishing 33rd, and then raced for two years as a team worker with Belgian squad Lotto. Horner’s breakthrough in Grand Tour racing came when he finished ninth in the Tour de France in 2010, the same year that he took his first major stage race, the Tour of the Basque Country. In 2011, after winning the biggest race in the United States, the Tour of California, a bad crash put him out of the Tour de France, although the following year at RadioShack Leopard, his current team, he finished 13th. 2013 started badly for him, a knee injury wiped out almost the first half of the
season. However, a victory in the toughest mountain stage of the Tour of Utah in August and second place overall showed that the American had rising form for his one Grand Tour of the season, the Tour of Spain. Famous for his love of hamburgers,, chocolate and his upbeat temperament, Horner’s nickname in the peloton of the Tour of Spain is ‘el abuelo’ - ‘Grandpa’ “I’ve always been underrated or not quite given the leadership when I think I should have had it for different reasons,” Horner said earlier this week. “Maybe (because of) my age or maybe I’m not brass enough, but there’s always something in my career that made people think I’m not as good as I am.”
He tweeted: “The 2000 bronze is back in possession of @ usolympics and will be in Switzerland asap.” Armstrong had denied doping for years until his confession after a detailed report released last year by the US Anti-Doping Agency. He has also been stripped of the seven Tour de France titles he won from 1999-2005.

2 Bits Held In Tennis Player Aussie Match Suspended Fix Scandal
Two British footballers have been arrested and charged in Australia on suspicion of being involved in a multimilliondollar match-fixing ring. Joe Woolley, 23, and Reiss Noel, 24, were taken into custody in Melbourne by detectives investigating “Australia’s biggest ever scandal”.
The pair had been playing for AFC Hornchurch, according to the club’s website both left in July to head to Australia to play for Southern Stars in the state of Victoria’s Premier League. Amongst the six men charged are Southern Stars’ goalkeeper and coach. Police allege the men were involved in match-rigging which netted more than AU$2m (£1.2m) of betting winnings by manipulating scores of the bottom-placed club. Detectives say their investigation began in August and had been prompted by information received by the game’s national body, the Football Federation of Australia. One of those charged was Malaysian national Gerry Gsubramaniam, 45, who is accused of acting as a middle-man and instructing players in the Southern Stars team to either win or lose. He faces 10 charges, including five counts of engaging in conduct that corrupts or could cor-

Croatian tennis player Marin Cilic has been suspended from playing for nine months for breaking doping laws. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) says the suspension will be backdated to May 1 so he will be able to return to the tennis circuit on January 31, 2014.
rupt the outcome of a betting event, and five charges of facilitating conduct that corrupts or could corrupt the outcome of a betting event. Acting Senior Detective Sergeant Scott Poynder told a court hearing Gsubramaniam had received payment for giving Southern Stars players information on how the games were to unfold. “He is the contact point,” Mr Poynder said. “He receives phone calls. He is given advice on how the Southern Stars players are to perform.” Mr Poynder said at least five games had been identified as being “highly suspicious”. “Video showed some of the players were doing some unusually poor play,” he said. “For that work (Gsubramaniam) received payment. Some of the bets are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Joe Woolley faces eight charges including four counts of engag-
ing in conduct that could corrupt the outcome of a betting event, and four charges of facilitating conduct that could corrupt the outcome of a betting event. Reiss Noel faces the same charges. Both were released on bail to appear again in court on September 20. Three other men, including the team’s 36-year-old coach, were bailed to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court to face the same set of charges as Noel and Woolley. More charges are expected in coming days. Four other men arrested on Sunday morning were released pending further enquiries. The Stars have played 21 games this season, losing 16 and drawing four. Their only win was a 1-0 victory over top side Northcote City on August 18. The Stars had lost their previous four matches, conceding a total of 13 goals and not scoring any.
Record Breaking – Loudest Cheer Recorded
American football fans set a new world record for the loudest cheer at a sports stadium. The achievement - endorsed by Guinness World Records - came during Sunday night’s NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
Volume 12, a Seahawks fan group, announced on its Facebook page it had set the mark late in the first quarter. They said the decibel reading taken during a sack of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick was 131.9 decibels. They then went one better in the third quarter in
Cilic tested positive in Munich for nikethamide, a stimulant that affects the user’s respiratory cycle. The ITF says an independent tribunal found Cilic “ingested the nikethamide inadvertently as a result of taking Coramine glucose tablets, and did not intend to enhance his performance in doing so”. The 24-year-old has not played since withdrawing from his second-round match at Wimbledon in June. He was ranked as high as number nine in the world in early 2010 after reaching the semi-finals at that year’s Australian Open. Cilic is currently ranked 24 in the world.
Madine Facing Jail For Assaults
Championship footballer Gary Madine is facing jail after punching two men in separate nightclub attacks.
The Sheffield Wednesday striker shook his head after he was found guilty of causing Sheffield United fan Reece Hall grievous bodily harm at Leeds Crown Court. The 23-year-old was earlier convicted of causing Wednesday fan Daniel Beresford actual bodily harm after a week-long trial. Madine, who has a previous conviction for knocking out a man in a Carlisle pub, punched Mr Beresford in the Paris Bar in Sheffield city centre in February last year, breaking his nose. Four weeks later, he punched bricklayer Mr Hall in the face at the Viper Room club in Sheffield, breaking his cheekbone. The jury cleared Madine – nick-named by some Wednesday fans as Goal Machine - of the more serious charge of causing Mr Beresford grievous bodily harm. He was also found not guilty of causing Mr Hall grievous bodily harm with intent. Madine was on bail for the first offence when he attacked Mr Hall on March 11, 2012. Prosecutors told the jury of seven men and five women that Madine turned into “an arrogant, violent thug” when drunk. The court heard how he stared at Mr Beresford in the Paris Bar
and when the keen Owls fan asked why, he walked over and punched him on the nose. Mr Beresford was knocked to the floor, banged his head and was unconscious for between two and five minutes after the assault. Mr Hall was attacked after Madine started a conversation with him in the Viper Room toilets and asked: “Wednesday or United?” Madine, who is 6ft 3in tall and weighs 14st, was granted bail but Judge Rodney Jameson QC told him: “You must understand that an immediate custodial sentence is very likely.” He said he agreed with all the jury’s verdicts, adding: “I think you’ve got it absolutely spot on.” He adjourned the case for sentencing so reports can be prepared. No date for sentencing was fixed. Madine has not played for Wednesday this season due to the court case.
Seattle when they reached 136.6 decibels. The sound was as loud as a military jet aircraft taking off from an aircraft carrier. The group’s Twitter feed read: “Congratulations Seahawks 12th man! You are officially the loudest fans in the world!” The Hearing, Speech and Deafness
Centre worked with Volume 12 to distribute thousands of free earplugs to fans at the game. The previous record for “loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium” was 131.76 decibels, set in 2011 in Turkey at the Ali Sami Yen Sport Complex Turk Telekom Arena during a football match between Galatasaray SC and Fenerbahce.

Cd tenerife Look pablo Suspended after miles away red end to Blue Victory from Winning CD MaRIno should have spent this week celebrating another great win, this time 0-1 over CD Tenerife B at their Geneto training complex, but they grabbed the headlines for the wrong reasons after Pablo Barroso got a red card for taking on some fans for abusing his family behind the goal.
IT was supposed to be a golden opportunity to get back on track, away at Zaragoza, a club struggling on the pitch and beset by financial problems off it. CD Tenerife looked by far the worse team and could have no complaints about sinking 3-0 with player’s heads down and creative ideas hard to come by.
There were a few flickers early on, Loro found Aridane’s head from a corner but a home defender deflected the ball away, and then Loro tried to curl a shot in but went wide of the goal. Zaragoza came out of their shell and Bruno had to make a well timed tackle to stop a goal charge, and a free header also gave cause for concern. Sergio Aragoneses made a good two handed save after Zaragoza easily opened up the Tenerife defence. Even Lady Luck seems to have deserted Tenerife, home keeper Leo Franco knew nothing about the Suso shot that bounced off his shoulder and clear of the goal. Raul Llorente set up Aday Benitez for a header that didn’t trouble the goalie and Suso was always on a loser with his penalty appeal late in the first half. Once again Tenerife had kept a clean sheet in the first half, last season that would have been the springboard for better things but at Zaragoza it was followed by a nosedive. Carlos Ruiz crudely flattened a Zaragoza player with his knees in his chest and from the free kick Victor’s shot dipped over the jumping defensive wall and settled in the back of the net. A double change saw Quique Rivero and Rico come off the bench to replace Suso and Loro, it had no time to make an impact before a Zaragoza shot bobbled into the Tenerife goal off the outstretched boot of Ruiz. It was not a good day for central defender Carlos Ruiz, he was caught flat footed as Victor slipped in for the third goal, Tenerife were a shapeless mess and looked ripe for a good stuffing. Sergio was Mr Dependable holding back the tide, Victor was cursing him for denying his hat trick with a tip over and then late in the game taking the ball off his feet in front of goal. Ayoze was brought on and had Tenerife’s best chance with a late header but the keeper took it cleanly and brought a grim afternoon to an end. Could things get worse? They
Inigo Ros certainly could, Aday Benitez was found to have an injury that will sideline him for up to four weeks and accusations emerged that Tenerife players hadn’t been paid their promotion bonuses for last season. They were promised 4,000 each and a watch, so far they only have the second half of the deal – at least they wont be late for training. Coach Alvaro Cervera knows the vultures will soon be hovering but he has two consecutive home games to boost Tenerife up the table starting with Lugo this Saturday at 5pm and Inigo Ros should be fit for a full time return to the midfield.
aridane
The final whistle saw the ugly scenes unfold and on Monday morning the incriminating photos were all over the media, not just in Tenerife but also on mainland television and in Marca the national sports newspaper. CD Marino acted quickly and suspended Pablo for his “severe reaction” while an internal investigation takes place. The referee will no doubt make his own report and the 23-year-old right back from Vilaflor can expect the league to take tough action. It was a shame that it overshadowed another big stride in CD Marino’s revival, its three wins and a draw so far and they Pablo are second to Mensajero only on goal difference. They made a lightning start forcing Franco to put the ball in his own goal as he tried to recover from a fine piece of individual skill from Balduino from outside the area after 6 minutes. Marino’s defence has been a revelation this season and they held off Tenerife particularly in the second half when goalie Alberto denied Alejandro from a corner. This Saturday there’s another tough test when Atletico Granadilla make the short journey to Playa de Las Americas. Marino full back Roberto Carlos will be relishing the chance to play against his former club. Kick off is at 8pm and entry is 8 euros and free for kids.

www.tenerife-weekly.com It’s difficult to say who had the most fun at the World Waterski Racing Championships in Puerto Colon. Of course the Australians were delighted to make it a wipe out by adding the F2 Men (Ben Gulley) and F2 Women (Sarah Teelow) titles to scoop up all six categories. The great spirit and harmony between riders and nations in the pits area didn’t detract from the fiercely competitive racing, and the sheer pleasure and numbers of the thousands of spectators who flocked to this free spectacle confirmed that Tenerife has taken waterski racing to its heart.

Swept Up In The Waves Of Glory
Leanne Campbell - Australia
The final Saturday started with the womens racing, Trudi Stout already had her Open title tucked away but was back in action with the same determination, and she was a whole lap faster this time. Much of the attention was on the battle for the F2 title, Sarah Teelow was the favourite but had tough opposition especially from Leanne Campbell a surprise Australian wildcard

Ben Gulley - F2 Winner
who skillfully weaved her way into contention. Leanne was in the British boat Stand And Deliver, it was agreed before the tournament that boats could leap team boundaries to give every skier the best possible chance. Sarah held her nerve and was soon celebrating but made time to talk to The Tenerife Weekly. “That was amazing, my first title since moving up from junior level in 2008, I’ve been racing since I was 13 but started out on skis at just 3-years-old as it was in the family. When I go home to Australia, its back to University where I’m studying to be a physio.” What next on the racing scene? “I guess the next move is up to the Open category, that’s a big jump, the engines are unlimited in power but my Dad already has a F1 boat so that will help.” As we spoke Sarah was unpeeling the ankle strapping that all water skiers wear, it’s obviously for a good reason: “I broke my ankle last year which was a bit of a setback and a month ago I broke a rib, again it affected my training but I feel fine now even after these four days of intense competition.” The juniors were next up, Jack Harrison and Rachel Stapleton had secured their crowns a few days before but another great tussle ensued as skiers battled for places. The final event was the mens racing, Wayne Mawer, already champion, underlined his legendary status by holding off a gutsy challenge from the USA’s Todd Haig in a real thriller, Darren Kirkland of GB boosted his reputation with a storming 4th place. The F2 still had to be decided, leader Ben Gulley had the added pressure of sealing the Australian grand slam, Andy Anderson and Cameron King of the USA were expected to be his main rivals but it was a fellow Aussie Jake Tegart who put the pressure on after storming through the chasing pack. Ben clinched the win and the master Wayne Mawer was the
first to congratulate him. It was a great day to round off the championship, even the forecast storm did the decent thing and side stepped Tenerife. Finally free
of the random drug testing and the sweltering body suits, the beer and champagne was able to flow, cheers to all those involved in putting on such a show.
Sikma Is An Instant Hit For CB Canarias
Another court, another season but the same winning style for CB Canarias as they started their pre basketball season campaign with a trophy. The Tacoronte Tournament was a good chance to look at new signings and the fans must have liked what they saw as they crushed Palma AE 96-63.
Nico Richotti led the scoring with 17 points and Fotios Lampropoulos added 15 but the man of the match was new American capture Luke Sikma, his 9 points was just part of an all round game that promises much for the new ACB season. Tonight (Friday 20th) CB Canarias play Frankfurt in an international friendly at the amended time of 8.30pm at the Las Torres Sports Centre.

utch cyclist, Sebastiaan Bowier, has pedalled his way into the record books, hitting more than 83mph as he sped through the nevada desert, he clocked 133.78kmh (83.13mph) on his recordbreaking run at Battle Mountain.
The 23-year-old beat the previous bicycle speed record set by Canadian Sam Whittingham at the same location in 2009 by just 0.6kmh (0.37mph). He clocked his top speed on a 200-metre stretch of road after an 8km run-up. Wouter Lion, manager of Mr Bowier’s Human Power Team, said: “When you break the record after three evenings of bad weather and at the last possible chance, it feels incredible.” The horizontal bike used by Mr Bowier was designed by students at the Delft University of Technology and VU University Amsterdam, and was tested in a wind tunnel before being taken to the track. Known as the VeloX3, it has a carbon fibre frame which is shaped to reduce the air resistance encountered by normal road bikes. The wheels and the frame are enclosed in a streamlined chassis, which is covered with the same type of coating used on Formula One cars.
