Tenerife Weekly - 24th January 2014 - 30th January 2014

Well, greetings once again! Another week has passed us by and although it was still a little chilly at times, we avoided the rain, mostly, well where I was! Saying that it’s scheduled for tonight so if it’s raining now, sorry about that! It’s been quite an eventful week for our island, la fiesta de San Sebastian came around again, we’ve got some stunning photos of that, also Tenerife and the Canary islands was

represented at FITUR, the international tourism fair in Madrid, with a view to promoting the island as a modern tourist resort to suit every holidaymaker and continue and improve the record breaking high tourist numbers we achieved last year! As well as fairs and fiestas we have our usual mix of news from various charities, Accion del Sol, Live Arico and this week, a well deserved nod of recognition to BancoTeide foodbank, who don’t seem to get the recognition they deserve. So to features, I’d like to congratulate Linda Barratt her first Home and Gar-

den column was really well received and a welcome once again to Brian Harrison who used to write a lighthearted political column for the old Tenerife Weekly, before we came along and made it nice and shiny! I’m also pleased to announce that we are now featured daily on both Spectrum 105.3 FM and Qfm 94.3 which means, if any potential advertisers are reading, we can now offer a full newspaper and radio ad package! Anyway, plug over, enjoy the read and the week!!

¡VIVA SAN SEBASTIÁN! A deje was buzzing with over 20,000 pilgrims on Monday as the small town of La Caleta hosted one of the borough’s most popular feastdays, San Sebastián.

Residents from the borough’s multicultural hub mixed with tourists – though the confused group of German ramblers looking at the bus timetable just outside the Church in the San Sebastián plaza were in for a long wait – and many people also brought their pets down for the traditional blessing after midday mass. San Sebastián is one of Adeje’s patron saints and each year his feast day is celebrated through mass, song, and the hugely popular riding of horses down to the at La Enramada beach for a bathe as the statue of the saint is also carried down to the water’s edge. San Sebastián is one of the oldest fiestas in Tenerife and certainly one of the most original, and this year didn’t disappoint the thousands who were there to capture the special moments. Adeje’s councillor for culture, Nayra Medina Bethencourt, said she was delighted with the participation of people from all over the island and beyond, adding that there were noticeably more pets and horse riders than last year. “The feast of San Sebastián has been celebrated here since the 18th century and has always been a celebration of harmonious co-existence. Every year more and more people come to seek

the blessing and protection of our Saint. This is, without doubt, one of the most enjoyed fiestas in South Tenerife, and we are always looking ahead to make sure that future generations continue to celebrate the tradition”. After the trip to the sea, the statue returned to the plaza and the blessing of animals took place, with dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, birds and goats among the recipients. This year the council also organised a tapas/pinchos competition among the restaurants providing food and drink during the festival, with the public voting. There was a draw, with stalls from Fañabé and Taucho both delighting the public’s taste buds. Other participants in the weekend event included many small local traditional singing groups, and the stand for the Adeje Clean and Healthy campaign was also a draw, with information leaflets on the ongoing campaign available to the public in English, Spanish, German and French as well as presentation dog collars and reusable shopping bags, Mention also has to be made of the excellent work done by all the local security forces. The police kept the streets clear with good humour and friendliness, and the work of the local Civil Protection unit on the beach was perfectly firm but sympathetic to the many members of the public who were jostling for best position as the horses made their way to the water. All in all another great day for people and animals, and I’m already looking forward to next year.

NEWS ON THE ROCK The City Council, has reported that the completion of the work of the South Hospital has met deadlines, will create about 250 jobs and will be completed between October and November this year. “We have developed an intense, discreet work,” says the head of the IASS, “which culminated in the funding agreement approved in July and has continued with the modification of the project to adapt the interior of Sociosanitario to the needs of a hospital unit “. Finally, Miguel Ángel Pérez was emphatic in saying that we can be proud of the momentum we have given to a much needed infrastructure. But we will not be satisfied until the citizens of South Tenerife can make an appointment. The president of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, this week presented the book ‘History Altavista Refuge’, by the writer Rafael Cedrés. With great accuracy and in great detail he describes the evolution of this infrastructure. During the ceremony, which was also attended by the president, Ricardo Melchior, Ignacio Sabate, and the author himself, Rafael Cedrés, Carlos Alonso, said that “it is a work that embodies the history of the Refuge, how it became a base for scientists working here and also to those who came from different parts of the world.” Ricardo Melchior said that “history Altavista Refuge is an extraordinary work, as it is a reflection of the importance of this infrastructure for all mankind.” The Canary Coalition spokesman in the city of Icod, Francisco González, criticizes, six months after the release of the municipal budget, sporting bodies of the municipality have not yet been able to collect subsidies. González will present a motion to the full in this regard, demanding explanations for this situation. As Gonzalez recalls, “as yet sports organizations have not received subsidies that allow them to partially pay the monitors that ultimately support life of the municipal sports activity with your work, dedication, effort and money.” A situation that makes no sense “and for which we demand answers” so “ask the mayor to detail all the steps taken to give to the sports entities subsidies and that accounts for why nearly seven months later still have not been settled “. Turismo was jubilant that 2013 would pass into the record books for the number of visitors in a complete year – the current record was 10,210,000 in 2011. And, indeed, the Canaries did break the record, with 10.63 million visitors throughout last year, up 421,599 from 2011�s record. The good news was released by the Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Turismo. The biggest markets continue to be Germany, the UK and the Scandinavian countries, but Russia and Italy are increasingly strong. A 21-year-old woman has suffered serious head injuries after falling off a horse at a romería in Chio, in Guía de Isora. The accident happened in the plaza, with the horse appearing to cause further injury to the woman after she was on the floor. Emergency services, together with a doctor and nurse from the local health centre, assisted at the scene and once the woman was stabilized, she was transferred to Hospiten Sur, where she remains in serious condition. The Spanish Meteorological Agency ( Aemet ) issued a yellow alert for yesterday, Thursday, warning of strong winds and high seas across the archipelago. Notices extend until Friday and in Tenerife, the level is raised to amber from 00.00 to 24:00. Widespread areas will be affected at both sea level, the midlands and mountains, with gusts of 60 – 80km / h. And given the wind direction, most affected will be the extreme southeast and northwest of the islands. The Canary islands have only 2.9 spaces in nursing homes per 100 people aged 65 or over. Funding cuts have meant closing 1,192 beds in just one month, December, when a care place disappeared every forty minutes. Making this worse is statistically, a dependent person in the Canary Islands is three times less likely to be cared for by a family member, than a person from anywhere else in Spain.

taKe me doWn to tHe paraSite CitY!

S ANyONE else having problems with mosquitoes at the moment? The ones that have been making meals of us lately are monsters, huge fat bellied things the size of houseflies that stubbornly refuse to drop dead, even when sprayed. Curious as to why they are bigger than normal, I consulted the Oracle that is Google –and soon got side-tracked reading about some of the other incredible Parasites we share the planet with, evil, hideous and completely diabolical in the way they go about their cunning plan for complete host domination. Sly, without mercy, they a r e the Bond villains of the natural world, and just like those movie bad guys they use some nefarious ways to achieve their cruel desires. No method is quite as as- tonishing as mind control, check out these manipulative monsters.

“Build Me a Web!” When it’s time to procreate This Costa Rican parasitic wasp, finds a spider, paralyzes it and then lays an egg on its abdo- men. After hatching, the larva wasp will feed on its host. After a couple weeks the larva injects a chemical into the spider, which causes the spider to build a super durable web like none it’s ever built before. The parasite then kills the spider with poison, sucks it dry and builds a cocoon that hangs from the middle of the new web. “Do That Cat!” The single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii lives in infected rats, but it needs to be inside a cat’s digestive system in order to reproduce. Rats inherently know the smell of cat urine spells danger. But if a rat is infected it loses its instinctual fear of cat pee. Worse, it makes the rat think it’s sexually attracted to the odor, increasing the chances of its host getting eaten by a cat, so that it can happily complete its lifecycle in its new feline friend.

“Climb That Grass, but Only at Night!” The adult Lancet liver fluke lives in the liver of a cow where it mates and lays eggs, which are excreted in the host’s feces. A snail eats the poo, the eggs hatch in the snail. As a defense the snail walls the parasites up in cysts and coughs up the balls of slime...doing exactly what the parasites wanted it to do. An ant comes along and gobbles up slime balls. The flukes then spread to the insect’s head. When night approaches, the flukes take control. They make the ant climb up a blade of grass and hold tight, waiting to be eaten by a grazing animal. If the ant is still alive at dawn, the flukes release their control and the ant goes about its day like normal (if the ant baked in the sun, the parasite would die, too). At night the flukes take over again and the cycle repeats until the ant becomes cattle food and it starts all over again! “Look like a Berry” When the nematode Myrmeconema neotropicum gets into ants, it does something rather unique: It makes the ant look like a berry. South American ants are black, but they live up in the tropical forest canopy, where there are a lot of red berries. The nematode change the ant’s gaster, (its bum, basically), to look exactly like a red berry. Infected ants are sluggish and walk around with their bums in the air, and are eaten by birds in wants to infect. “Jump to your Death!” As adults, parasitic hairworms live in water and form writhing masses to breed. Grasshoppers and crickets ingest the worms’ larvae when they drink. Once grown, they release powerful mind-controlling chemicals. The evil hairworms force the insect to jump into the nearest body of water, where it drowns. Yes, the hairworms actually cause their hosts to commit suicide. The parasites then escape their deceased host and the cycle begins anew. “Protect Me!” (A Parasite that Induces Love in its Host)

A Brazilian parasitic wasp often infects caterpillars. The eggs hatch and develop inside of the caterpillar. When the larvae emerge from the caterpillar they pupate nearby.The larvae somehow induces a kind of Stockholm syndrome in their former host. The caterpillar host stops feeding, but remains close to its parasites,

Toxoplasma

even covering them with silk. If a predator comes by, it defends the pupating wasps with violent head-swings. “Pulse” The green-banded broodsac, a parasitic flatworm, spends most of its life in the body of a bird which poops out the eggs which a snail eats. In its larval stage, the parasite travels to the digestive system of the snail, where they rapidly reproduce and form long tubes of swollen “broodsacs.” That spread out into the snail’s eyestalks, pulsing green and yellow, causing the snail’s eyestalks to resemble caterpillars. Snails prefer the dark, so they cause the snail to seek out light. Once in the light, the broodsacs twitch, becoming irresistible to birds. “Zombify!” A fungus in Thailand takes over ant brains, compelling them to mindlessly do the fungi’s bidding. Carpenter ants prefer to build nests in the canopy of trees and only come to the forest floor to forage. When fungus infects an ant, the insect becomes compelled to climb down to one of the lower leaves and clamps down with its mandibles until it dies. The fungus consumes the ant’s tissues — all except for the muscles controlling the mandibles — and grows inside of it. The fungal spores fall to the ground to infect more ants. Ants infected by this particular fungus are often called “zombie ants.” “Turn Up the Heat!” The bird tapeworm adult reproduces inside of the intestines of fish-eating water birds. The tapeworm’s eggs get delivered to water in a nice package of bird feces. Once in water, the eggs hatch into their larval stage and get eaten by small crustaceans called copepods. Sticklebacks then eat the copepods. Once inside, it makes the fish seek out warmer waters, which it needs to grow rapidly. The tapeworm can actually get so big that it outweighs its host. It then causes the fish to become bolder and more solitary, thus, easy prey for a fish-eating bird. “Back Off!” Most parasites, manipulate their hosts in ways that make them get eaten; this allows the parasite to complete its life cycle. H. bacteriophora, on the other hand, tells hungry predators to back off. When the nematode infects an insect larva, it gradually changes the color of its host’s body from white to red. This vivid color is a warning color to predators.

CoSta adeJe “SeLLing” touriSm fuLL of eXperienCeS at fitur Local politicians are meeting with airlines with a view to improving connections with the Peninsula

DEJE mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and the councillor for Tourism, Rafael Dolado Díaz, are travelling to the Feria Internacional de Turismo (FITUR) taking place in Madrid this week where they will outline the varieity of expieriences possible during a vacation in Adeje.

Active tourism is one of the areas of tourism that is of huge interest to those visiting Costa Adeje, a zone seen as a ‘complete’ destination with a variety of different dimensions to offer all-comers. The mayor says “the profile of the tourist has changed in recent years. You can no longer pigeon hole as we perhaps did in the past, and group them as either sun and beach visitors, or mountain walkers, becuase the same individual visitor will nowadays want to experience many different facets of the destination, from the sea to the mountain tops. The two are not incompatible, and this is the message we want to get across, that in Costa Adeje there is a range of activities that are interesting and of excellent quality, where you can dive to see the turtles or glide with the birds”. As well as this particular line of work, Adeje’s representatives have, along with Turismos de Tenerife, a busy schedule of meetings with the main tour operators, travel agencies and airlines to secure the place of the destination as leader among potential visitors. “We have lined up a number of different meetings with decision-makers in airline

companies to see whether we can improve connectivity with the South of Tenerife and the Peninsula (rest of Spain), as in 2013 national tourist figures dropped, partly as a result of the crisis, and partly because of difficulties finding flights” pointed out the mayor. Earth, wind and sea experiences Within the Costa Adeje tourism offer being brought to Fitur the sea plays a big part, with 17 beaches, many of them offering aquatic sports such as snorkling, kayaking, jet skiing, scuba diving or deep sea fishing. The bottom of the sea provides another source of experiences for tourists, with an amazing landscape under the water, of natural beauty and over 500 sea species. Visitors to Costa Adeje can have a ‘fly-over’ experience, a form of diving which allows novices visit the bottom of the sea hand in hand with professional divers, ‘flying’ over the sea bed and visiting the local species inhabiting this particular part of Costa Adeje. Costa Adeje’s land also offers a huge variety of activities for the tourist in search of something different to do, with bicycle circuits, horse riding, or other rural walks through parts of the borough with different levels of difficulty or signposted rambles, the four most popular of which Adeje council have spent time reconditioning and upgrading. For those interested in sport while on holiday Costa Adeje also boasts the top level training centre, Tenerife Top Training which is frequently used by top class athletes from all over the world. Another of the experiences Costa Adeje

offers that will be promoted during Fitur is the aerial options for tourists. Parapenting is one of the most requested activities by visitors to Adeje, given that the zone has the best climatic conditions for the sport in Europe, where you can jump almost 365 days a year. Tourists who might feel less like high risk sports but still looking for an aerial view of this part of Tenerife can also take a helicopter tour, perhaps a more family-friendly option! Luxury Experiences Luxury will feature again in meetings with tour operators with the 4 and 5 star hotel selection the biggest in Europe, combined with such attractions as Siam Park or Aqualand. Shopping in the top brand commercial centres such as the Plaza del Duque as well as the nightlife complete the offer.

go foodbanks in tenerife mango!

ESPITE the fact that Spain is a mango grower, only Malaga, Granada and our own Canary Islands produce the fruit commercially, and only the Tommy Atkins, Irwin, Osteen, Keitt and Kent varieties can grow in the Spanish climate.

Spain’s domestic production i s insufficient to cover all demand and the country is also unable to produce all year round, which means Spain needs to import mangoes from other countries, a great opportunity for Ecuador. Sources from Pro Ecuador explain:

“Spanish consumers prefer Spanish mangoes, but if they cannot find them, they prefer those of Brazilian and Peruvian origin, which are the most popular,” Spain’s main mango suppliers in 2012 were Brazil, Peru, Portugal, Dominican Republic and Mexico. Ecuador was 12th in the ranking. The

Unite d States is the main destination for Ecuador’s mangoes with 82% of the total, followed by Canada, the Netherlands, Colombia, Mexico and Belgium. All this talk of mangoes makes me want a smoothie!

by janetanscombe.com

’vE BEEN asked several times about food banks, and can now post that there is an official foodbank organisation in Tenerife, the Banco de Alimentos de Tenerife, familiarly known as Bancoteide. This organisation is a non-profit association founded in 2006, with the specific aim of receiving food from the

Fondo Español de Garantía Agraria ( FEGA ), from private businesses like supermarkets, and from the public. Public donations usually result from the association running specific campaigns but can be made at any time. The food is stored and then distributed to the neediest residents of Tenerife via charita-

ble institutions and official social assistance outlets which have the closest contact with those in need.

Products are collected in the Mercatenerife warehouse in the Polígono El Mayorazgo near Santa Cruz where they are weighed and put through a quality control procedure. They can, however, be donated in local supermarkets which collaborate in “Operaciones Kilo”, or through one

of the affiliated associations So, we can donate food direct to the warehouse, through participating supermarkets (just ask if they are part of “operaciones kilo”), or via any of the affiliated associations on that extensive list. I hope this information helps us all to help those who are in need, and to be assured that our assistance is going to official organisations which will guarantee that it gets through to where it is most needed.

teleférico best teide Spain produCeS 20% energY photo competition of from turBineS

HE TELEFÉRICO’S photo competition now has a winner, this wonderful photo taken by Eduardo García .

The Teleférico del Teide competition to find the best photo of El Teide was open to anyone, amateur or professional, who has an unedited original photo, and all they had to do was enter their details

by janetanscombe.com and upload the photo on the #LoveTeide tag on Teleférico’s Facebook page All ten finalists, will enjoy the award of an Atardecer y Estrellas en el Teide con el Teleférico (Dusk and Stars on Teide with the Teleférico) for a couple – worth 110 euro per person – and a Teide ascent guidebook. In addition, as overall winner, Eduardo himself will receive an annual bono for the Teleférico del Teide.

HIS IS Spain’s largest wind turbine Arinaga, a five megawatt, 505-foot tall, at the end of a dike on Gran Canaria, and thanks to her and others like her, Spain has become the first country in the world to draw a plurality of its power from wind energy for an entire year. Wind provided enough energy to power about 15.5 million households-20.9 percent of the country’s energy last year and was up over 13 percent from the year before This could signify that Spain, with the rest of the world following its lead, is heading for a future based on renewables. By contrast, the U.S. produced only 9 percent of its energy with renewable

sources last year, and wind accounted for only 15 percent of that. The renewable push also brought down Spain’s greenhouse gas emissions by 23 percent, according to another industry report from Red Electric Espana (REE). Spain also has one of the largest solar industries in the world, with solar power accounting for almost 2,000 megawatts in 2012. That’s more than many countries but still just a fraction of the energy produced by wind in Spain. In 2013, solar power accounted for 3.1 percent of Spain’s energy, according to the AEE report. Still it’s not all good news. At the moment, Spain heavily subsidizes its renewable energy sector, which costs billions of dollars in a country still in the depths of a financial crisis.

10 Rain Doesn’t Put Dampers On Cattle Fair Tenerife Weekly - 24th January 2014 - 30th January 2014

he rain couldn’t put a stop to the traditional neighborhood Cattle Fair in San Juan, Tacoronte

The district was the meeting point for the island winners in one of the oldest cattle fairs of all those held in the Canary

Islands. An event where more than 500 heads of cattle were expected, but due to bad weather this number was lower. But residents gathered despite the rain there, with their pets receiving a blessing by the priest. The event was held in conjunction with the Farmer’s Market during two weekends.

The Fair also had podenco displays, horse racing and XXVI Edition of the village cattle drag contest. It was a great day, both a festive and religious one, full of ceremony such as the processional walk and subsequent blessing of cattle.

The 17-year-old Russian national who disappeared last weekend has been rescued. A passing leisure boat, the Flipper Uno, appears to have spotted him making signals in the barranco Seco area near the Los Gigantes cliffs. A GES helicopter rescued him because access by foot was very difficult. He was flown to the Adeje heliport, and from there transferred to Hospiten Sur where he is said to be fine, and suffering only from minor injuries. 1-12 received a warning from the boat communicating that they were watching a person

asking for help from an inaccessible area nearby la galería del acantilado de los Gigantes, and could be the young walker missing in Masca. The 1-1-2 immediately activated Emergency and Rescue Group helicopter (GES) of the Government of the Canary Islands which during the morning had participated in the search composed of Tenerife, Local Police, Civil Guard , Guardians and land search unit GES. The aircraft moved to the area and after locating the man and moved him to the volunteer fire rescue heliport in Adeje. There, an ambulance crew assessed the individual who had mild injuries and subsequently evacuated to South Hospitén.

thrown away Like trash

hree Podenco puppies saved, two dead, after being dumped in Los Cristianos basura

AST WEEK the award of individual parcels that are part of the Urban Ecological Garden City Community took place.

This project, in operation since 2012, has, among others, the objectives of improving agroecological production in Tacoronte, recovery of urban areas by improving their appearance, contribution to family self-sufficiency and promoting composting and reducing agricultural and domestic waste. Requirements for accessing the use of a plot located are, you must be a resident of the municipality for more than one year, be physically able to perform agricultural

work, have the current municipal tax payments, be over 16 years of age and may not be a beneficiary of same people who live with someone else who has applied for, or has allotted a plot. The urban garden Watchtower account after this award is at 100% occupancy and the V Centenario is almost fully occupied. With this project the City of Tacoronte through the Department of Agriculture aims to promote citizen participation and eco-development of the municipality in addition to the objectives listed above. This new initiative has generated several neighboring municipalities to request guidance for implementation.

I’ve posted before about Podencos, how they are the most sensitive and intelligent dogs, stubborn, opinionated, but kindly and gentle … all qualities displayed in spades by our own Rosie before she was killed, another victim of the indiscriminate use of poison in these islands by individuals and councils alike. Now, another horrifying story about Podencos is in the news. Policía Local officers in Los Cristianos yesterday saved three Podenco puppies which had been thrown into the basura. Sadly, it was not just three who were chucked away like so much rubbish: two other puppies were not so fortunate, and died, suffocated in the paint-tub-type container in which they were sealed before being disposed of. The three survivors are now in a rescue centre. None of the pups were chipped so unless someone identifies the owner, which is very unlikely, he or she will get away with it … and perhaps even live to do the same again. Arona police say that they can issue fines of up to �600 for dumping animals, but when they are so unlikely to be caught, people who are capable of doing this are hardly going to worry about it. Arona says that it made 47 denuncias for these type of offences in 2013 alone. Per-

haps that’s not enough, and perhaps the council – and others too – might take one lead in animal welfare by educational campaigns, and itself finding some method of pest control that does not involve poisoning pets, strays, and even, as we saw the other day, pigeons. I know I’ve been mixing poisoning and abandonment here, but it is all part of the same mindset – one that should not be allowed to pass without comment, or without protest. For the moment, three Podencos will live, and hopefully will have a happy home, avoiding the fate suffered by far too many of this wonderful breed.

How it works: What we will need is to teach our participants a short, basic routine, Then on the 22nd February we will need to get two adjudicators (they must be people of standing with in the community such as a doctor, teacher or mayor) to supervise and witness us whilst we repeat the routine for 6 minutes.

Circolandia

a big-top spectacular for all the family

by janetanscombe.com An artistic journey full of music, rhythm and humour, that will transport the whole family into a magic world. That’s Circolandia, a, interactive spectacular show especially – but not only (!) – for children, and which will be performed for one night only in the Infanta Leonor auditorium in Los Cristianos on Friday 7 February at 8pm. Apart from clowns, attractions include the balloon man, magic, soap bubbles, and tightrope walker Sergio Rueda, finalist in Spanish TV’s Tu Si Que Vales, equivalent I’d say to the UK’s BGT. The big big-top finale will involve everyone on stage … and the public as well! A family show not to be missed, particularly since tickets cost just 5 euro. For more information call 010 (922 761 600 if outside the municipality of Arona).

HE ROW over blue zone parking meters in Los Gigantes is gaining new momentum with a petition raised by the representative of a local business association, Pedro Sacramento, after the recent installation of the base plates for the machines.

Sacremento and his group criticise the installation of parking meters, believing they will adversely affect business in the area. The Regulatory Ordinance approving parking spaces in Santiago del Teide was published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in July 2012, but the current petition hopes to bring pressure to bear to stop the now imminent installation of the parking metres in the two main streets of the tourist resort, Calle Flor de Pascua and Calle José González Forte. According to Pedro Sacramento, the group only found out that the next phase of the blue zone was being implemented when they saw municipal workers installing the base plates of the machines. “This particular parking scheme was invented by the local council, after consultation with a small number of ill-informed businessmen from Los Gigantes, in reality, over 60 per cent of local people are totally against this” Sacramento continued: “We blame the Ayuntamiento for a lack of transparency. They chose to meet with only certain entrepreneurs and not the bulk of traders here when they made this decision. “We believe this will only

Los gigantes; parking meters

that refund Your money by newsinthesun.com benefit the few and is a ploy to swell the city coffers from fines imposed for non-compliance.” Meanwhile, Emilio Navarro, local councillor responsible new technologies countered by saying: “This was a topic agreed upon with all business people in Los Gigantes. “In any case the present meters are part of a pilot project, which can be modified to provide better service to local inhabitants and tourists if needed.” Navarro went on: “The main aim of the Council is to revitalize trade in the area. The use of the blue zone meters will not be for tax collection, the motorist does not actually pay for using the service. “The motorist puts a coin in the machine which issues a ticket to be placed in a visible part of their vehicle, the coin will be immediately returned. However parking is for a fixed length of time and once expired they must move the vehicle and cannot return within a given time period “The local police will be responsible for checking the validity of tickets and issuing fines, but I must stress, they main aim is not to collect fine revenue, but to have spaces available at regular intervals,” concluded Navarro.

Parking restrictions will be in force from 9:00 hours to 13:30 and from 16:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday and Saturday 9:00 to 13:30 with no restrictions on Sundays or Public holidays. Fines for non compliance range between 100 and 500 euros. 2 Responses to Los Gigantes; Parking Meters That Refund Your Money Bob Kerr January 21, 2014 at 7:08 pm Personally, I think it is an excellent idea as the majority of the available parking spaces are taken up by shopkeepers, their employees and hotel staff from early morning not to mention residents who park in the few spaces left instead of putting their cars in their garages. As one who has been so frustrated by the lack of spaces on many, many occasions I can assure you that without some sort of parking system how do local businesses expect to have any customers. I have

left the village on many occasions without spending any money as I could not find anywhere to park. Common sense tells you that if you want more visitors to the village you need to provide them with parking spaces! Samantha January 22, 2014 at 4:59 pm I have to say that this system has worked brilliantly on the mainland in the small town of San Pedro de Alcantara. Previously it was almost impossible to park there, but now with the meters in place, there are always spaces. I have discovered numerous businesses and shops that I had never visited before, due to the problematic parking. All the businesses that I have spoken to have an increased volume of customers and are very happy with the meters – however business owners in the metered streets do have an ‘abono’ or discounted rates – which I think is fair.

THE SILENT KILLERS

tHe CirCuS BringS neW Life to CitY A

NyONE who has seen my postings on various forums knows I am not a lover of the usual Tenerife type market. I like the Farmers markets for fruit and veg, the Mercado Nuestra Señora de Africa “La Recova” in Santa Cruz because it feels authentic and not just there selling tourist tat and knock offs, and last year I discovered by chance a new market. Well it was new to me but has been running for around a year however so far only open one weekend a month, which they were hoping to rectify for 2014. I don´t know if they have managed to do this yet or whether the powers that be

are still debating!

It goes under the theme of circus “El Rastrillo Le Pettite Cirque” and was started as an attempt to revive a forgotten and depressed area in the centre of the city. Initially it got going with about ten stalls and now there are over 40 which are spread between the streets of El Clavel and Pedro Alcantara, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. While the main clientele originally were residents, as word spread and because it is very close to the traditional shopping area of Calle Castillo tourists and cruise passengers are also becoming regular visitors. There is a poster in Calle Castillo to help those who don’t know the area find the market. Lovers of markets cannot help but admire each of the stalls where they can find a variety of antiques, art, clothing, jewellery, books and vintage clothes (even designer) but for me the

real treasures are the handmade products including exquisite soaps which so far I have only been able to find on the internet. What’s more the prices are low so great if you want to take something home on a spur of the moment whim. I like this kind of market; I like to wander through areas that are old. La Clave and the surrounding streets have become an appealing and newly expanding area of downtown Santa Cruz, a mix of entertainment, shops, bars and restaurants that seem to be growing and succeeding after being abandoned for decades. The neighbourhood is the perfect place to spend a day enjoying a new shopping and leisure experience then end up eating at one of its restaurants. Gradually new life and culture is returning to these narrow streets of the city.

Just before Christmas an open air carol service filled the air with songs, carols and music and the new service was announced to be held in the Event Room.

On the 19th January the first service was held and many people filled the room. A powerful testimony was given by an expoliceman, ex paratrooper with his story of miraculous healings he had witnessed. Pastor Bill gave an uplifting message to residents and holidaymakers. The service will be held at 6.30pm in that room from now on.

The dozen tourists who took part in the first edition were so thrilled with the experience, it was considered the most demanding and the best of those held up until then (they had previously been in Nicaragua and Morocco), and the organization requested the repetition of the same “as possible” this year. “We are very pleased that Tenerife is a place that offers options also for these reviews and that the island can we contribute not only to take a few vacation days practicing outdoor activities,

but their own personal development through the various tests and experiences living here and put them in some cases, to the limit of their abilities,” says the president of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso. Participants in the 2014 edition suffer blindness, deafness, paraplegia and other physical disabilities. They will be a total of 10, who will join many other members of the expedition doctors, physiotherapists, NGO members and volunteers from U-Turn. The expedition will come to Tenerife on January 31st, the day that will begin their tour of the island from the beach

Porís de Abona. From there, walking or assisted in specially adapted wheelchairs, they will go through some of the most beautiful places of the island such as Vilaflor, El Teide, Los Gigantes or Garachico. Other activities will include kayaking, whale watching and they will sleep in tents for several days until Feb. 7th, the last day of adventure. Tenerife Tourism supports the trip, assisted by the Department of Environment of the Cabildo, the municipalities of Arico, Guía de Isora and Vilaflor, Teide National Park, Civil Protection and HOSPITEN.

Tenerife Weekly - 24th January 2014 - 30th January 2014

MAINLAND NEWS IN BRIEF A Spanish judge has remanded in custody eight suspects accused of supporting prisoners from the armed Basque separatist group ETA. Police arrested them in raids in northern Spain, the latest blow against ETA, western Europe’s last major armed secessionist group. ETA is blamed for the deaths of 829 people in a four-decade campaign of shootings and bombings for an independent Basque homeland in northern Spain and southwestern France. During their court appearance on Monday the eight refused to answer questions from the judge. One of Britain’s most wanted fugitives has been jailed in Spain for six years and six months. Andrew Moran, 31, of Salford, was sentenced in Madrid after he pleaded guilty to drugs, firearms and road traffic offences while he was on the run. He had been on Crimestoppers’ most wanted list of criminals who were at large in the country. Moran flew out of Manchester Airport on a false passport after he escaped custody in March 2009. A joint operation was launched by Titan (the North West Crime Regional Unit), the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Spanish national police to locate him. In November 2012, Moran evaded arrest from the Spanish authorities as they set up an armed security cordon around his then flat. He smashed his 4x4 vehicle through the police block and then sped off along the wrong way of the motorway. He was finally detained in a raid at a luxury villa in Alicante in May last year. Two handguns, 60 rounds of ammunition and a machete under his bed were recovered from the property. Tens of thousands of protesters in Spain’s Basque Country defied Madrid last Saturday by holding a mass demonstration marked by tensions over the ETA prisoners. Crowds filled the streets in the northern city of Bilbao in a march for “human rights, understanding and peace”. A judge had banned another demonstration planned to seek concessions for the prisoners, who are dispersed in jails across Spain and France to stop them coordinating. Their families demand they be moved to jails closer to home. Pope Francis’ newly chosen Spanish cardinal, 84-year-old Fernando Sebastian Aguilar, has described homosexuality as a “defect” that can be corrected with treatment, sparking condemnation from gay rights groups. The Spanish archbishop, who, because of his age, will not hold a vote in the conclave that elects pontiffs, said the pope shows respect to all people but is not changing the teaching of the Church. Gay and lesbian rights group Colegas called on the archbishop to retract his comment. “We hope that Fernando Sebastian will correct his words and we note that homosexuality is not a curable disease, but homophobia is,” it said in a statement. One of Spain’s most exclusive hotels has been left devastated by a chimney fire. El Lodge, located in the Sierra Nevada ski resort in the south of the country, has been left entirely gutted by the Wednesday morning blaze. Skiers could only stop and stare as flames engulfed the luxury 500-euro a night hotel from 9:45 a.m. Firefighters from the nearby town of Granada have spent several hours trying to tame the fire. One of the largest gas-powered ships in the world is set to operate in waters between Portsmouth and Spain. Brittany Ferries said the new £225m French-built “cruise-ferry” will be the cleanest and most environmentally-friendly ship in British waters. Its older ferries use heavy fuel oil and the company expects to be hit hard by new European regulations to limit sulphur emissions, which come into force in 2015. Compressed natural gas emits 25% less carbon dioxide (CO2) than marine fuel oil and burns with no smoke. As well as emitting less CO2, compressed natural gas is also free of sulphur and is very low in nitrogen oxide emissions. Brittany Ferries said the vessel will carry 2,500 passengers and will enter service in spring 2017. One of the world’s main counterfeiters of 50-euro bills was arrested in Toledo, where he produced 2,500 bogus bills per day. The counterfeit bills have been rated among the 10 best, in terms of their quality, in Europe, said investigators, who estimate that he produced a total of some 2 million euros ($2.7 million) in fake bills. His bills had crossed the Spanish border and made their way into France, Portugal, Greece, Germany and Romania. The arrested man had built a special homemade stove in his home to dry the 50-euro and $100 bills he put out. Printers, laminators, metallic plates, negatives, inks, presses and thermoprinting machines were among the tools confiscated by police in the home, as well as large quantities of both counterfeit and legitimate currency.

T’S BEEN a while since I’ve had the pleasure of writing the TW political column. OK, it’s been a few years, a change of ownership, and two changes of editors. But now things have settled down at the TW, we’re off again with political news TW style. First and foremost, I’d like to state that this column will not express any political bias. I have many colleagues in many political parties, also a fair share of enemies spread evenly across the right, left and nationalist traits. It’s all nicely balanced, just as politics within Spanish media should be. This week, we begin the countdown of the top 10 of the most famous corrupt, jailed or accused politicians in Spain, past and present. With over 2,000 politicians currently under investigation for fraud, money laundering, misuse of public funds, extortion and many other offences, we apologies to anyone we have missed out, and we’ll try our best to include you at some point in the future. So, let the lawsuits begin, here’s our Hot Five Corrupt Candidates for this week. Nº 10 - Pedro Ángel Hernández Mateo (PP), ex-Mayor of Torrevieja. Convicted

of fraud, falsification of documents and perjury relating to a refuse disposal contract where 9.6 million went astray. He’s about to serve 3 years in prison and is banned from public office for 9 years. Nº 9 - Gregorio Jesús Gil (GIL) (12 March 1933 – 14 May 2004). The famous ex- president of Real Madrid, exmayor of Marbella, famed for his outrageous playboy style parties, fights with reporters, his stint in prison and 28 years banned from public office related to numerous “cash for building permit” charges. Nº 8 – The fairer sex can’t escape this list. There can be absolutely no sexual favorism in this column, so our number eight is the aesthetically pleasing Sonia Castedo (PP), ex Mayoress of Alicante, accused of indirectly receiving cash for contracts, divulging privileged information to contractors, and a few other offences. OK, not the most seri-

Spain Developing Smart Fabric T HE SPANISH Institute of Textile Technology (AITEX) and the Technological Institute of Optics, Color and Imaging (AIDO) has launched a new project to develop textiles that employ fibre optic technology and functional impression known as smart and interactive textiles.

The project is being carried out with support from the Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and through a grant funded by the European Union via its European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The institutes are trying to develop fibre optic sensors that would detect alterations characterized by the radiation produced in the fibre it-

ous offences, the truth is that we just wanted to include her photo to counteract the others. Nº 7 - Jaume Matas i Palou (PP). President of the Balearic Islands from 1996 to 1999 and from 2003 to 2007. In March 2012 he was sentenced to six years imprisonment for bribery, misappropriation of funds, misappropriation, perjury, forgery, influence peddling, money laundering, tax fraud and electoral offenses. An impressive list by any standards. Nº 6 - José Blanco López (PSOE).Ex Minister of Public Works and Transport, Senator. Accused and currently being investigated of influence peddling and accepting bribes. Two days after being charged, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Carlos III from the then new Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy. Next week, the countdown continues (legal action permitting). Who do you think will reach our Nº1 ranking for corruption, money laundering, perjury, theft or fraud? Find out in The “P” Files in next week’s edition of TW.

self to the application of external stimuli such as changes in temperature, pressure, strain, electric or magnetic fields. By using these sensors in different tissues, a series of smart and interactive textiles could be developed that offer endless possibilities, AIDO states. According to AIDO, these interactive textiles could have various applications such as to

measure ground movements in large tracts of land, or architectural elements, for example by creating geotextile fabrics built with these sensors the user would be able to collect data. Clothing made from smart and interactive textiles could provide information regarding the user’s body temperature, heart rate, number of steps and more, AIDO states.

mad monK’S Hand BuiLt CatHedraL

DEvOTED monk has singlehandedly built a grand cathedral, one brick at a time, a project which so far has taken 50 years.

without construction permits, blueprints, or money, just faith, he has no architecture or construction background. He recently explained: “The principal source of enlightenment has been, before anything, Christ’s evangelism.” The towering Nuestra Señora del Pilar spreads 91,500 square feet. Martinez builds from a vision in his head, taking inspiration from St. Peter’s Basilica to the U.S. White House. He rises before 4 a.m. to gather discarded materials like bricks and tiles from nearby fac-

On an avenue in the Spanish town of Mejorada del Campo, a suburb 13 miles east of Madrid the eccentric former monk has completely alone, and by hand using a mix of donated and recycled materials, constructed his life’s work. Now 88 years old, Justo Gallego Martinez, known as Don Justo, began the project in 1963

tories and junkyards. At 6 a.m., he brings them to the site to begin his 10-hour workday. So far, after 51 years of work, the cathedral has a library, cloisters, priests’ homes, a baptistry, a crypt, and a towering 200-foot central dome, which took 20 years to build, along with two-dozen smaller towers. He uses old car wheels to shape arches, highway paving blocks to make the plaza, and empty oil drums stacked inside columns. Martinez calls the practice “natural architecture.” But so much still needs to be done, thousands of windows await decoration, spiral staircases lead to no-

where, and the floors and giant dome are still uncovered. Martinez relies mainly on donations to pay for the construction, but he does the labor virtually single-handedly. The ageing “mad monk” or “el loco de la iglesia, plans to work until he no longer can, and then he will bequeath the Nuestra Señora del Pilar to the town’s Catholic bishop in the hopes it will be used as a functioning church.. Martinez once said in an interview: “If I lived my life again, I’d build this church again, only bigger. Twice the size, because, for me, this is an act of faith.”

19 Luxury floating Ban use of Hunting dogs noW steel resort

www.tenerife-weekly.com

FLOATING luxury holiday resort that will soon be travelling along the coast of Lebanon, is using 1,200 tonnes of steel plates produced in Spain The self propelled floating resort 74 meters long, 47 meters wide and 36.7 meters high will include a five star hotel with 62 rooms and suites, 70 rooms with a view of the seabed, a roof top restaurant that can seat

Tenerife Weekly - 24th January 2014 - 30th January 2014

300 people and a main deck with a capacity to seat 1,200 people as well as many other leisure facilities. Beirut International Marine Industry & Commerce are using the steel which is highly resistant to salt water corrosion to build the underwater structure that will keep the resort above water. Once delivered to Beirut International, the plates were transformed into tubes and cones to support the floating island.

AMPAIGNERS from several animal rights groups have urged Spain to ban the use of dogs in hunting, which they said leads to the abandonment of roughly 50,000 greyhounds each year when they become too slow to hunt with. Greyhounds, known as “galgos”, are used in Spain for hunting, in the same way Canarian Podencos are used here, but when the end of the November-February hunting season comes around their owners often decide they have no further

need for them, many are just abandoned and often starve to death or die in car accidents. Horribly in some cases hunters dispose of their greyhounds by hanging them from trees or throwing them down wells, or they torture poorly performing dogs by breaking their legs or burning them, and sadly again this is mirrored by the treatment of some Podencos here and on the rest of the Canary islands. Beatriz Marlasca, the president of BaasGalgo, an association dedicated to the rescue of abandoned greyhounds, told a news conference. “For them they are not pets, they are

tools just like a wrench is to a plumber, they have no affection for the greyhounds. We either stop this from above or else it will never end. We must eliminate the root of the problem starting by banning hunting with dogs,” Marlasca’s group alone finds homes for around 200 abandoned greyhounds a year in Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Silvia Barquero, the vice president of Pacma, a small animal rights party said: “A ban on hunting with dogs, as already exists in other European nations, would be a measure that would avoid much suffering to all these animals.”

Is 12 A Plus Size?

PANISH clothing giant Mango is facing harsh criticism after launching a plus-size clothing line for women from sizes 12 to 24. The violeta line - which is accompanied by the tag ‘it suits me and I like it’ - is a 400-piece collection available online and in stores now. A Twitter storm has been started by shoppers in Spain and the UK that feel angry at the implication that anything over a size 10 is considered ‘large’. A spokesman for Mango said:

‘In view of the controversy surrounding the launch of Violeta by MANGO, the company would like to reiterate that Violeta by MANGO is a new brand within the group which was created to cover an existing demand in the market by offering a fashion collection in sizes that extend up to 24. What differentiates said brand is the attention to technical details, pattern to pattern and size to size, and the selection of garment materials and fabrics, which have been produced to be more comfortable, feminine and modern. The key characteristic of this line is the personalisation of the collection to a new target market, the re-

sult of painstaking work and effort on the silhouette and pattern of each size.’ The Government and fashion editors have praised the collection, but on social networks, Mango has been accused by of stigmatising women larger than a size 10, and even encouraging eating disorders, along with calls for the line’s withdrawal. One lawyer, Arantxa Calvera, has launched an online petition that already has 57,000 signatures, she says: ‘To consider a size 12 as a plus size is to have a distorted picture of the reality.’ Jenny Willott, Minister for Women and Equalities states:

‘Diversity makes good business sense research shows that plus-size women are frustrated by the poor choice of fashion available to them and embarrassed by retail environments that separate them from other women. I welcome moves by the retail industry to reflect and celebrate the great diversity we have in the UK. I would like to see more retailers doing the same.’ Marie Claire’s editor-in-chief Trish Halpin said: ‘There’s the demand to address the style needs for women of all shapes and sizes. It’s great that Mango are engaging with a larger-sized audience’.

Spain fLu outBreaK

PAIN has reported an influenza outbreak where officials said 239 people have been hospitalized, many with H1N1, the strain known as bird flu. Of those hospitalized, nearly seven in 10 cases lead to pneumonia and many require intensive care to recover. Eleven people have died since the start of flu season in

October in the country, fatalities thus far have been limited to the elderly, children or people with chronic medical conditions, worst affected w a s Aragon, where 26 people contracted H1N1 resulting in one death. Health officials have urged at-risk populations like seniors, the young and people who work with either to get a flu vaccination.

Spanish Store plans global domination T

HE Barcelona-based company Desigual, is accelerating its expansion into Europe and other emerging markets. Founded in Ibiza in 1984 by Swiss designer Thomas Meyer – still the company’s sole shareholder – Desigual says its mission is to put at least one item into every wardrobe in the world.

The Spanish fashion label has a reputation for bright garments and bold marketing, such as offering free clothes to shoppers who arrive in their underwear to special sale parties. It now hopes to take the brand into new areas like perfume and shoes. After expanding outside Europe three years ago, it is now targeting sales of 1 billion euros ($1.4 billion) this

year – from about 820 million in 2013 and 440 million four years ago – and plans to add 100 stores a year for the next three years. Managing director Manel Jadraque plans to move Desigual into cosmetics, homeware, sports and shoes in the last two years as well as its drive to open stores in travel locations like airports, train stations and hotels saying: “In the next three years we plan to grow about 20-25 percent a year. The big idea is to double the company every four years. The market for fashion will double in the next 10 years. It is an upgrade for the brand to be in more channels,for a brand, the most important factor is to have presence in the market.” added that he saw room for competition between 20 companies like Zaraowner Inditex , which has grown fast to become the world’s biggest clothing

retailer with more than 6,000 outlets. “We want to focus on fewer countries but on penetrating more,” he said. “Asia is tough. They have different tastes from Europe but South America is doing well.” Desigual, which currently sources about 80 percent of its goods from China and India, plans to increase production in Europe as it seeks to improve quality, he added. He was also very optimistic about the economic recovery in Spain, where Desigual expects to hire 200 of the 1,000 new staff it wants add to its team of 4,000 employees this year: “The Christmas period was the best of the last four years, this crisis transformed the mindset of people in Spain. Companies and managers are focusing on exports … emerging markets, innovation. A lot of things are happening.”

tHe feaSt of Saint antHonY

BOUT 100 km (62 miles) northwest of Madrid, In the village of San Bartolome de los Pinares, Linked to tradition dating back hundreds of years, people jump their horses through bonfires on the narrow cobblestone streets to purify the animals with

the smoke. The cobbled streets were filled with smoke and the clatter of horse hooves last Thursday night as residents marked the eve of the feast day of Saint Anthony, patron saint of animals On January 16th in a tradition dating back 500 years, dozens of horsemen known as Las

Luminarias ride as close as they dare to bonfires that line the street. Some even force their steeds through the centre of the flames. According to ancient tradition, the fiesta is meant to cleanse the horses of disease and bring good luck for the coming year. Animal right groups have condemned the practice, saying the animals suffer, but local resident Borja Ramirez, disagrees:

“Once they get used to it, once they are taught and get used to it, they are very brave.” Pet owners also celebrate San Anton by taking their beloved animals to a church to be blessed during a special mass in Madrid on the feast day of St Anthony, Priests use holy water to bless all creatures great and small, mostly pet dogs, but also birds, mice, turtles, etc.

“Sleeping” Sun Could Begin a mini ice age

ESEARCHERS who expected 2013 to be a year of the ‘solar maximum’ say solar activity is at a fraction of what they expect, at its lowest for 100 years, and that a mini ice age could on the way. Scientists say conditions are ‘very similar’ to a time in 1645 when a mini ice age hit and warn that the Sun has ‘gone to sleep’ and say it could cause temperatures to plunge The conditions are eerily similar to those before the Maunder Minimum (also known

as the prolonged sunspot minimum), a time in 1645 when a mini ice age hit and continuing to about 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare. It caused London’s River Thames to freeze over, and ‘frost fairs’ became popular. Researchers believe the solar lull could cause major changes, and say there is a 20% chance it could lead to ‘major changes’ in temperatures. Despite Nasa forecasting major solar storms sunspot numbers are well below their values from 2011, and strong solar flares have been infrequent, and last year Nasa warned ‘something unexpected’ is happening

on the Sun’ Solar activity swings back and forth like a simple pendulum in a regular rhythm that repeats every 11 years, known as THE SOLAR CYCLE. At one end of the cycle, there is a quiet time with few sunspots and flares, at the other end, solar max brings high sunspot numbers and frequent solar storms. However, astronomers have been counting sunspots for centuries, and they have seen that the solar cycle is not perfectly regular. Richard Harrison of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire says: ‘Whatever measure you use, solar peaks are coming down, I’ve been a solar physicist

for 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this.’ Human activity may be a factor according to Lucie Green of UCL: ‘We have 400 years of observations, and it is in a very similar to phase as it was in the runup to the Maunder Minimum. The world we live in today is very different, human activity may counteract this - it is difficult to say what the consequences are.’ Mike Lockwood of the University of Reading says : ‘We estimate within 40 years there a 1020% probability we will be back in Maunder Minimum territory,’ he said.

Spain Again

PAIN is back in the top 3 in a world ranking of top tourism destinations in 2013 behind France and the United States, after losing the podium to China in 2010.

Tourism Minister Isabel Borrego said : Spain is a ‘world power in tourism and good results were obtained thanks to our tourism sector and efforts made by our companies, which are competitive and able to internationalize and boost the Spanish brand abroad’, Although official data on December is not available yet, the number of tourists who travelled to Spain until November were almost 57.6 million foreigners, already exceeding the 55.4 million tourists who visited China throughout 2013. An estimated 64 million foreign tourists visited Spain last year, according to operators and the sector’s union Exceltur. Official sources have yet to confirm the estimate.

Official data will be published by the ministry on January 27. Tourism revenues and expenditure hit a record high last November with an 8% increase - for a total of 55,896 million euros - compared to the same period last year. Within this optimistic scenario also for the coming year, Fitur, a major expo in the sector, is scheduled to take place this week, although this edition of the fair will also suffer limitations due to the crisis: the expo will be held across an area of 54,000 square metres, 2,000 less than last year and with fewer stands, although the number of operators and tourism firms participating have grown 3%, according to data provided by organizers. An estimated 9,000 companies from 165 countries are expected to participate and 200,000 visitors are awaited with an economic impact on Madrid estimated at around 180 million euros compared to the 10 million allocated for the event.

Gordon later moved to Malaga in Spain where he met his wife Nuria who has family

‘Spaceship’ Spotted on the moon

HE LATEST alien conspiracy to set the internet alight was sparked off by a series of controversial images from Google maps showing a mysterious object on the moon’s surface. Have aliens taken over the moon? Or have we set up a Lunar base that the public aren’t supposed to know about?

The images appear to show a triangular wedge-shaped ‘craft’ with a row of seven light dots along the edge. While it could just be a secret human moonbase, many UFO sites have likened the object to an alien spaceship. The two-sided object was discovered by paranormal researcher WowForReel who posted a video of the finding online, saying: ‘It’s unique and unusual in the area.

Shadow or Ship?

After going there on Google Moon and staring at this thing for quite a long time I can say yes, it is really there, not faked and I have no clue what it is. I found nothing else like it in any of the other craters. Not much to be said other than… it’s there.’ According to Techandgadgetnews: ‘The gigantic shape actually looks like the leading edge of an immense, triangular space ship, similar to, so far, super secret Stealth aircraft technology, but is much larger than any airplane ever built on Earth. To date, no other feature has ever been discovered which matches this shape on the moon, or any other planet observed by satellite or exploratory rover.’ Of course it might just be an optical illusion caused by shadows in a crater, either that or Transformers: Dark Of The Moon was a documentary.

contacts in the olive oil sector. The couple decided to launch their own high-end brand of olive oil in the UK and turned to old friend Andy Barker, who by day co-runs Results Network PR with wife Andrea Thurlbeck in Sunderland. Gordon said: “We have been given an exclusive opportunity to sell a truly unique oil in the UK. Our oils are the first in the country to have undergone a unique ultra-filtration process which ensures all the flavour and health benefits are kept in while the sediments are removed. As soon as we were given this fantastic opportunity, I contacted Andy who has PR experience in the food industry and a wealth of contacts to get things moving. To begin with we are selling product direct to the public through our website www. isabelina.co.uk and through a

network of upmarket delicatessens. When I visited the production plant in Spain, I was blown away by the technology used to create this ‘champagne’ of oils. It is a true mix of thousands of years of olive growing tradition in the Jaen province with the very latest in food technology. All the olives in Isabelina products come from local cooperatives and we can trace every batch down to the ex-

act grove it was grown and harvested. It’s great to team up with an old band-mate in business. One this is for sure – the oil is a thousand times better than our songs were!”

riots in Burgos

ASS protests and unrest in the small provincial city of Burgos in northern Spain, started when construction work began, aimed at converting the main street in working class Gamonal, into an upmarket boulevard. The project, costing 8.5 million euros will eliminate car lanes, reduce free-parking spaces and result in the construction of underground parking, costing 19,800 euros per each parking space for a 40-year lease.

A petition which gathered thousands of signatures was

ignored by the mayor who refused to meet with organisers. When, on January 10, a protest was held, with attempts to prevent machine operators moving in, accompanied by chants of “Gamonal does not want a boulevard!”, the police fired on them with rubber bullets and arrested 17 demonstrators, including one minor, and left two injured. More protests, barricades and police violence took place in the following days. The mayor called in 200 anti-riot police and the Special Operations Group (Grupo Especial de Operaciones, GEO), whose main function is to “counter and respond to terrorism”. On January 15, over 5,000 people demonstrated in Burgos calling for the release of all those arrested and an end to the Boulevard Project. Simultaneously in 48 other

Spanish cities and towns, smaller protests were held, organized through the social networks like Facebook and Twitter, including Madrid, Ciudad Real, Logroño, Oviedo, Seville, Valladolid and Gijón. In Madrid around 1,000 people gathered in central Puerta del Sol square chanting, “We are all Gamonal!” and “Freedom for prisoners in jail for fighting!” In Burgos, a city of 180,000 inhabitants, 32,000 are unemployed. The levels of unemployment have forced thousands of youth to migrate to the larger cities such as Madrid. The Boulevard project is another example of the close link between the construction companies and the ruling parties, which has been revealed in countless corruption cases in the last decade.

poSH SpiCe Sell v S i Won’t perform WitH tHe SpiCe girLS eVer again.

ICTORIA Beckham, fashion icon, designer, wife of Goldenballs... and very much an ex-Spice Girl.

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair Spain magazine, the 39-year-old singer turned fashion designer admits that the British all-girl band is nothing but the past to her. She reunited with her Spice Girl bandmates during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, but now Victoria Beckham declares that was her last performance ever as the group’s Posh Spice. Mrs Beckham explained: “I won’t ever do it again. Doing the Olympics was an incredible honor. I was so proud to do it; proud to be British. That was a perfect time to say, ‘That’s great. Thank you to everybody, but no more.’ Sometimes you’ve gotto know when it’s time to leave the party.” “ The Spice Girls were successful because we celebrated women. That’s why I do what I do today,” she added. So, no more Posh Spice then...at least she won’t be singing anymore!

Nigel Hadley, 61, from Pembroke Dock has to repay almost £26,000 of benefits he falsely claimed in the UK after becoming ill. He moved to Marbella in 2000, buying a fisherman’s cottage two years later, but failed to declare that he had it. The court heard how Hadley had left the UK to set up a catering firm in Spain focusing on the market for film schools. He admitted three counts of benefit fraud at a plea hearing and has been warned he faces jail if he fails to comply within six months. Jim Davis, defending, told the court: “He does find himself in a very difficult place as a result of his actions and, of course, he only has himself to blame for that. But in April 2010 he suffered a serious stroke and was unable to work and essentially stayed on in Spain until his money ran out,” However, Hoa Dieu, prosecuting, said Hadley came back to Britain in January

In all three cases he failed to inform the authorities that he had a property in Spain, despite being asked verbally and on claim forms. It was only when when the work and pension agency sent him an “habitual residency” claim form which specifically asked whether he had any other property that the truth came

out. The combined overpayment Hadley had received amounted to £25,960. Judge Keith Thomas, sentenced Hadley to nine months in prison, suspended for 18 months. He ordered him to pay back the full £25,960 claimed in benefits through the sale of his only asset, the Spanish property. All the repayments must be completed within six months or he will face a jail term.

Hayley’s husband, Dean Clements, said: “My wife is a new mother and her friend also has children. They thought it would be a nice gesture for people to gather and set off balloons as part of a send-off for Mikaeel, it started on Facebook and now there’s 600 attending from the Kirkcaldy side and 500 heading to Cramond already.” It has been reported that social workers face investigation over Mikaeel’s death after it emerged they were in regular contact with his family before he died.

She claimed she put him to bed the night before and was shocked to discover he had disappeared overnight with his coat, shoes and gloves. The child’s disappearance sparked a frenzied search in which hundreds of volunteers took part Hundreds of police officers and neighbours searched desperately for the child for two days before his body was found in woods a few yards behind his aunt Pandeep Kular’s bungalow in Kirkcaldy, Fife – 25 miles from his Edinburgh home. Hundreds of mourners gathered in Edinburgh last weekend to pay tribute to the three-year-old after his body was recovered by police.

ORE than five million people have viewed a video of an animated “devil baby” since it was uploaded to youTube. The terrifying tot has been unleashed upon unsuspecting members of the public, attracted by the sound of crying coming from its pram in New york City as part of a promotion for a new film.

The remote-controlled monster was programmed by special effects experts as a publicity stunt for the found footage horror movie Devil’s Due. Already no stranger to

controversy, the film’s eye-catching original poster art was banned in the states and on the official Devil’s Due website a tab at the top of the page that says ‘Convert.’ That, upon clicking it, you are encouraged to change your religious views on your Facebook page to Satanism, the website promising an ‘exclusive offering’ if you follow the Devil’s orders and show your allegiance to him. The evil baby can be seen driving its pram around the streets of New York, apparently being sick over the pavement, and rudely gesturing at police officers. Devil’s Due was released on Friday, January 17th.

‘neknominate’ not So eXtinCt Could Kill You SHarK turnS up!

T HAS BECOME an internet sensation, A Facebook group called ‘valleys neck and nominate’ has attracted almost 1,000 likes, the group posts videos of themselves downing huge amounts of alcohol – including strong lager, vodka and bottles of Jagermeister – before ‘nominating’ someone else to try to outdo them, and experts have warned that people are risking their lives by performing.

Clips include stunts such as ‘Pommy lad destroys a straight bottle in record timing’ a man is seen apparently biting the head off a dead chicken before eating it and people drinking urine and downing a pint of Sambuca., but doctors have warned, something that seems pretty obvious, that the levels of booze being downed could be fatal. One member is seen downing a can of premium Kestrel lager and almost a pint of vodka containing three raw eggs and a cigarette he has just stubbed out on his tongue, he then snorts a spoonful of body building supplement creatine because he wants to get ‘psyched up’ before drinking the disgusting cocktail. Dr Phil White, secretary of the North Wales Local Medical Committee says: ‘This level of drinking is toxic. It won’t just get you drunk but could kill you.’ Janet Roberts, from drug and alcohol helpline Dan 24/7 says: ‘It’s a dangerous game of Russian roulette. Someone could choke on their own vomit,’

A The groups members are mostly young men. And James Varty, acting chief executive of drugs and alcohol charity Kaleidoscope, warned people not to copy the clips. ‘It’s a very concerning game – if it grows in popularity we may well see tragedies,’ he said.

anniVerSarY of a tragedY

N 1976, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) unveiled the world’s first reusable manned spacecraft, the Enterprise. Five years later, Columbia travelled into space on a 54-hour mission. Launched by two solid-rocket boosters and an external tank, only the aircraft-like shuttle entered into orbit around Earth. When

the mission was completed, the shuttle fired engines to reduce speed and, after descending through the atmosphere, landed like a glider. The Space Shuttle program was a resounding success.

Ten years later, at 11:38 a.m. on January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with Christa McAuliffe on her way to becoming the

first ordinary U.S. civilian to travel into space. McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, had won a competition to join the seven-member crew of the Challenger. After months of shuttle training and repeated delays because of weather and technical problems, Finally, Challenger’s launch countdown began and the shuttle lifted off. A mere Seventy-three seconds later, hundreds on the ground, including Christa’s family and many

millions more watching the event on live TV, stared in disbelief as the shuttle exploded in a forking plume of smoke and fire. There were no survivors. The Challenger disaster was the first major shuttle accident. President Ronald Reagan appointed a special commission that included former astronaut Neil Armstrong and former test pilot Chuck Yeager to determine what went wrong with Challenger and to develop future corrective measures. The investigation

determined that the explosion was caused by the failure of an “O-ring” seal in one of the two solid-fuel rockets, which began a chain of events that resulted in the massive explosion. NASA did not send astronauts into space for more than two years as it redesigned a number of features of the space shuttle. In September 1988, space shuttle flights resumed carrying out numerous important missions, such as the repair and maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope

and the construction of the International Space Station. On February 1, 2003, space-shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon re-entry of the Earth’s atmosphere. All aboard were killed. Despite fears that the problems that downed Columbia had not been satisfactorily addressed, space-shuttle flights resumed on July 26, 2005, when Discovery was again put into orbit. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis’ final flight on July 21, 2011.

‘Ant-Man’ Cast Is Depp Strange? Gets Fans Itching M To See Movie arvel Studios have made some truly inspired casting choices over the past few years, Robert Downey Jnr quite simply is Tony Stark, well known supporting actor Mark Ruffalo finally nailed the hard to translate to the big screen Bruce Banner AKA The Hulk, and Samuel Jackson has made everyone forget that Nick Fury wasn’t originally black. With Paul Rudd getting his antenna

arvel’s phase 2 is starting to gain some serious momentum, Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 have been incredibly well received and next up are Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the highly anticipated Guardians Of The Galaxy, but Marvel certainly aren’t resting on their laurels. The first of their phase 3 projects is already well underway and the casting choices are already generating a lot of excitement Marvel has announced that Michael Douglas has joined the production, which is eyeing an April start. Douglas will play Dr. Hank Pym, the man who in-

vents the technology that makes AntMan’s transformation possible and who, in the comics, was the original Ant-Man, but the movie version will see comedic actor Paul Rudd assuming the role of the diminutive Superhero with the ability to shrink to insect size. With Rudd cast and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) directing the film, you can bet there’ll be action and plenty of laughs too. Latest casting rumours say that Michael Pena has been approached for the role of a “tough Latino” who has to be ready for a lot of physical play. The studio looked at actors ranging from Javier Bardem to Clifton Collins Jr. The film is slated to hit theatres July 31, 2015.

ready for Ant-man, another piece of casting genius has surfaced on the net. Yet to be confirmed whispers abound that Johnny Depp has been approached to play Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, the magic using Doctor Strange. Despite rumours, his reps say talks aren’t underway, also the film would have to fit in with Depp’s schedule for a fifth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ sequel, but the eccentric sorcerer would certainly fit nicely into the list of the quirky characters like Willy Wonka, Sweeny Todd, Tonto, Captain Jack Sparrow and The Mad Hatter that he is so famous for.

Even more exciting is the way the character fits in with the cinematic universe Marvel is building, with Strange having paired up with Thor and the Avengers, along with Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four to battle enemies in the comicbooks. It’s feasible that Doctor Strange would eventually be featured in an “Avengers” sequel. Do it Johnny or at least ring RDJ and ask him what he thinks, after all, he was barely hireable before Iron Man.

ANOTHER group of swimmers trying to escape the blistering heat in Rosario, Argentina have been attacked by Piranhas, in the same Argentine river where a similar attack by the carnivorous fish occurred last month.

Seventy people were bitten by the shoal of meat-eating fish in late December as they attempted to cool off from the unusually high summer temperatures.

The vicious creatures, known as palometas, have been attacking bathers throughout the week and at least 10 people have been injured. Attacks in the Amazon basin have been on the increase in recent years. In 2011, a drunk 18-year-old man was attacked and killed in Rosario del Yata, Bolivia. In 2012, a five-year-old Brazilian girl was attacked and killed by a shoal of piranhas, while recurring attacks in Piaui in 2011 resulted in 100 people being injured. Splashing tends to make piranhas more likely

to attack, explaining why children are often injured during mass attacks of these creatures. Palometas are: ‘a type of piranha, big, voracious and with sharp teeth that can really bite.’ They have been known to target humans in Rosario before, with 40 swimmers hurt during a mass-attack in 2008, a combination of hot weather and lower numbers of species such as caiman, which prey on the fish, could be causing the attacks but fatalities are rare.

Beiber arrested

t was only a matter of time, according to Miami Beach police, Justin Bieber has been arrested for driving under the influence and drag racing. The 19-year-old, who failed a sobriety test, is understood to still be in custody. The “Baby” singer was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini when he was stopped early on Thursday morning. Mr Hernandez Miami Dade-Police spokesman Sergeant Bobby Hernandez said that officers saw two cars racing at 4.09am, two vehicles apparently had been used to block off an area on Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street for the drag race. He said the second car was a red Ferrari, and that driver was also arrested. Both

cars were towed. Bieber was taken to the Miami Beach police station to be breathalysed and processed. Bieber’s arrest comes just a week after his California home was raided by police over claims he pelted his neighbour’s house with eggs, causing thousands of dollars of damage, authorities arrested one member of Bieber’s entourage, rapper Lil Za, on suspicion of drug possession.

there won’t be a lot of new stuff on it. It’s a compilation of new recordings of his old stuff and some cover versions of other people’s songs. George Michael is capable

weather. The last time that the sun was as inactive as it is at the moment was the big freeze when the Thames and various lakes froze over for over two months. There were ice fairs and people seemed to have had a jolly good time. I am sure that history has painted a more romantic picture of what happened at that time. People didn’t live in the lovely houses that they do today and I would suspect that many hundreds of people died as a result of the persistent cold. I don’t believe that scientists really know what is going on at all. It’s all conjecture. They are now saying that they believe that the mini ice age could last as long as 30 years. Watch the heating bills go through the roof!

Just recently though, astronomers have noticed that the sun is a lot less active than it has been for a few hundred years and they believe that another mini ice age will affect Europe. I wish they would make up their minds. I don’t know whether to buy a new parka or a pair of speedos. Mind you, those close to me say that the parka would be preferable, whatever the

bought a new telly a few weeks before Christmas and really enjoyed it ... at first. Now, after only a few weeks, I am totally bored with the rubbish that is churned out. Even the soaps have lost their plots.

There is very little of quality on the box and I despair at things like “Birds of a Feather” which used to be cutting edge and was a big favourite of mine. It is now as sad as George and Mildred. Daytime telly is even worse that i could have expected. Buy a house, do a house up, bake a cake, sell

antiques, feed a family on a fiver, feed people you don’t know, refurbish a bar, decorate a cafe ... etc etc. No thank you! Back to the DVD player for me before all that sad loser rubbish on Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor starts to plumb new depths.

Aquarius 20 January to 18 February

Watch out for health issues midweek, around the time of the Full Moon in your wellness zone. It might be a good idea to lighten your schedule, if possible, to allow yourself a chance to relax. You’re still in a natural phase when you may want to retreat, so go for it. By the weekend you could be firing on all cylinders once again. Plus, you may have an enthusiastic desire to get ahead with projects that have been on the backburner.

Pisces 19 February to 20 March

Romantic opportunities are highlighted this week. They may have a delightful quality as the Full Moon in your love affairs sector works a little magic on your behalf. Feelings could be intense, especially midweek, so think carefully before making out with someone, especially if there’s a chance you might regret it later. Consider the consequences! Come the weekend, you could be in a mellow mood and ready to kick back and relax after many weeks of seasonal fun.

Aries 21 March to 19 April

You may need to batten down the emotional hatches, as a Full Moon in Cancer could bring feelings to the surface midweek. It can be a good time to release hurts feelings, but not so good for making important decisions. You might be in a reactive frame of mind, so wait a few days. A relationship may also need careful handling around this time in order to avoid a conflict of interests. Gadgets may inspire you, or you may find a worthwhile cause appealing.

Taurus 20 April to 20 May

A Full Moon in Cancer suggests that your emotions could override logic midweek. Try to avoid tantrums - yours or those of other people - and allow time for things settle before choosing a plan of action. You and a partner may not see eye to eye on a key issue. However, an attempt to compromise may help things along. A focus on your career sector brings opportunities to think outside the box concerning a goal or project. A cutting-edge approach may be your best bet.

Brit Teen

Youngest To Reach

South Pole

EWIS CLARKE a 16 year old from Bristol has arrived in the South Pole, completing his record breaking attempt as the youngest ever person to complete the trek from the Antarctic Coast along the Hercules inlet route.

He began his challenge only 2 weeks after his 16th birthday, during which he faced temperatures as low as -50 centigrade, with winds of up to 190km/hour. Each day he had to ski for an average eight hours a day, pulling the sledge loaded with his supplies. He had practiced by dragging a heavy tyre along the beach, as well as training in the snow in Greenland and Norway. Having traversed 1,100km across the

world’s highest and coldest continent for 48 days, Lewis arrived at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station at 6pm last Saturday evening. In his tent, exhausted but warm at last he said: “I’m really happy but mostly relieved that for the first time in 48 days I don’t have to get up tomorrow and drag my sled for nine hours in the snow and icy wind. Today was really hard, the closer I got to the Pole the slower I went, my legs had had enough. But now I’m here and I’ve had some spaghetti bolognaise and I am sitting in a heated tent.” Lewis is now waiting for the official confirmation from Guinness World Records who will review his evidence to verify if he has beaten the record of 18 year old Sarah McNair from Canada in 2005.

Gemini 21 May to 21 June

Finances might need a rational approach, as the Full Moon could coincide with an emotional reaction to a perceived problem. On the other hand, if you’re feeling insecure, you could decide to go on a spending binge, which won’t help matters either. Thankfully, you’re likely feel in your element once the Sun joins Mercury in Aquarius, encouraging you to expand your options and take on a challenge that could involve a pleasant learning curve. Travel may also be on your mind, especially a bargain break!

Cancer 22 June to 22 July

A Full Moon in your sign could mean you’re quite emotional around midweek, so be prepared for movies, music, and the people around you to make you more weepy than usual. There might also be a disagreement between you and another, or even a heightened sense of lust on Thursday. Either way, it might be good for you to let go and share! Toward the end of the week you may find it easier to detach and see things from a more easygoing perspective.

Leo 23 July to 22 August

A dynamic aspect pattern could bring certain tensions into the open, fueled by the power of the Full Moon. If you feel tired and in need of a break, take one and let yourself chill! However, a lively aspect could indicate a developing social scene later, such as a surprise invitation or meeting someone who sparks your curiosity. You may have more success when you work with a partner or on a team once the Sun moves into Aquarius on Sunday.

virgo 23 August to 22 September

You may feel like holding an impromptu party, as the Full Moon in your social zone could set the needle on the social meter higher than usual. Watch out for a spat with a friend - midweek may not be the best time to have words. Health matters come into focus, too, so you might feel like exploring a few alternative remedies or therapies to help keep you in tip-top shape. Cutting-edge ideas may help you get ahead at work.

Libra 23 September to 23 October

Clooney In Spain For Disney Flick

You may notice tension building, which could set you on edge. However, a powerful influence midweek could be the trigger that encourages you to share your feelings, whether it’s appropriate or not. Take it easy and try not to overreact if you can help it. You may be more in your element later as the focus on Aquarius and your romance zone increases. Expect a potential meeting out of the blue and the chance to connect with someone who may be on your wavelength.

Scorpio 24 October to 21 November

Get ready for a feeling fest as a Full Moon in Cancer on Wednesday could highlight emotions that may have been suppressed. If you feel rather weepy around this time, it might help to let go and let it flow. You might feel much better as result. You may also feel like escaping to somewhere peaceful and emotionally nurturing, so a short break might meet your needs perfectly. Plus, a focus on your home zone could provide the perfect retreat, offering a chance to relax and recharge.

Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

As Mars continues through your social zone, you may be getting into the networking habit and enjoying mingling with old and new friends. However, certain tensions may culminate at the Full Moon midweek, which could highlight a personal issue. It may bring relief and release to talk things over with someone. When the Sun moves into Aquarius, you might have more involvement with computers or gadgets, especially if there’s an opportunity for a bargain in the post-holiday sales.

Capricorn 22 December to 19 January

Venus continues to be retrograde, which could be causing some discomfort in key relationships. However, any insights you get at this time may be a useful guide for what to expect in the future. Watch out for the Full Moon midweek, as it could coincide with intense feelings. Try not to overreact or do anything on the spur of the moment, as you may regret it further down the line. You might find that some retail therapy helps you feel a lot better.

EEMS George Clooney has become the latest go to actor for sci-fi movies, following Gravity to work on his next big science fiction adventure Tomorrowland, for Disney.

Bit On The Side

BeautifuL food Hellooo Sparklettes! on a Budget! W elcome to another weekly roundup of gosssip !!!

This week was a special one for me as I celebrated my “forever 22nd” birthday this week. I must give a big shout out to everyone who made my special week so special, you know who you are, I really had a great time, Thank you! Anyway, as you probably all know Everton’s A team has been over for their warm weather training – did you know… I had Seamus Coleman who wears the number 23 shirt !!! Thinking it was David Beckham still with his Madrid kit on !!! Not realizing… all I had was an autograph!!!

his might be a new favourite. It SO easy and SO delicious.

You can make this recipe with a pork fillet if desired but the pork loin filet that I bought was almost 1.50 less per Kilo than the fillet. Fillets are leaner and smaller which means you’ll get more surface area in contact with the marinade

and more flavour. But, the pork loin was excellent all the same. Hiper Dino often have offers on Pork loin (Cintas de Lomo). Keep a look out, the price often varies from 6.95 per kilo to a fabulous offer of 2.95 per kilo. When it’s on offer stock up and freeze it down. Just a bit of info - chilli powder isn’t all that spicy so don’t be too afraid. If you look at

the ingredients, it’s actually a mix of spices so it’s not nearly as hot as, say, cayenne pepper. Oh, also, you can let this marinate overnight or while you’re at work for extra flavour. The marinade comes together in just a few minutes so you can easily throw it together and then pick the recipe back up later.

Ingredients: 2 Kilo. Pork loin (Cinta de Lomo) 1 Tbsp. chilli powder 1 medium lime

4 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided ½ Tbsp. minced garlic 1 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. Salt

Method:

In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil with the soy sauce, chilli powder, salt, lime juice, and garlic. To get the most juice out of your lime, microwave it for about 20 seconds before cutting it open. Place the pork loin in a large zip top bag and pour in the marinade. Squish the mixture around to make sure the loin is completely coated and then refrigerate for one hour or more. When ready to cook, take the pork loin out of the fridge. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat a large heavy frying pan or skillet with the remaining 2 Tbsp. of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When the skillet is very hot and the oil looks wavy on the surface, add the pork loin (do not discard the marinade yet!). Sear both sides of the pork loin until brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes each side). After searing both sides of the pork loin, place it on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Baste the loin with the remaining marinade and place it in the oven. Roast for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the

juices run clear when you pierce the meat with a fork. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If you think it’s browning just that bit too much. Cover it with a piece of tin foil to stop it burning. This is a great little recipe for a Barbeque. Just allow extra cooking time if you decide to cook the joint out doors on your hot coals!

I don’t mean to Harper on (ooops bit of a Beckham joke there) about Everton but reliable sources tell me that a few unnamed Veronicas workers practically stalked the boys in blue... To the extent that some Sparkle Reefettes managed to get into the changing room before they were apprehended... I hope they were towel whipped… cos word on the street is they love it !!! Speaking of towels, time for my weekly Splash watch !! Comedienne and Su Pollard lookalike Jenny Eclair and sexy Irish Saturday Una Foden, are among the celebrities hoping to join Michaela Strachan and Diversity

dancer Perri Kiely, through to the next round, so, soggy Eclair anyone? Finally the latest BB news is viewers are accusing the show of being faked after it emerged that a crew member had been inside the house holding up cue cards for the housemates during a task. What??? You mean it’s not all total reality??? I’m sooo not shocked !! Half of these “celebrities” can barely string a sentence together without prompting (or an editor)... Mind you... Cue cards must mean at least some of them can read !! Until next week... Keeeep Sparkling !!

first driverless Vehicle goes on Sale T

HE WORLD’S first driverless car to go on sale is an electric shuttle, yours for only £170,000. Induct Technology, a small company based just outside Paris, has beaten the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota in the race to be first to put a driverless car on sale.

The Navia, an all-electric self-driving shuttle, launched at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week. British company Oxis Energy, who developed the battery have been testing the car as a ferry for visitors to its premises at the high-security Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, which is run by the Atomic Energy Authority.

elderly drivers Should Let us Know J A SURvEy of drivers by the AA has concluded that elderly drivers should alert other motorists to their age. Almost half the people questioned said they would leave more space in front and avoid tailgating if they knew they were following a car driven by somebody elderly The Populus survey of 17,629 AA members found that 47 per cent said they tried to give older drivers a wider berth. The figure suggests that signs drawing attention to an “experienced” driver could have a similar effect to the “baby on board” stickers displayed by new parents. Paul Green, of Saga insurance, said: “Anything that tries to encourage politeness on Brit-

ish roads should be welcomed. Driving bumper to bumper is a completely anti-social activity whether driving at 80 or 18.It is great that drivers want to show older people more courtesy on the roads, but it is quite alarming to think that people think it is perfectly OK to harass younger drivers.” One in five also admitted to losing their cool while behind learner drivers. Motorists aged 18 to 24 were least tolerant of learners, with 31 per cent admitting to losing their patience, compared with 15 per cent of over65s.

The Navia finds its way around using laser-based lidar (light detection and ranging) sensors. The sensors give a 200-yard sweep of the road ahead, accurate to within a centimetre, while cameras serve as the shuttle’s eyes. If the Navia detects an obstacle it stops, then decides whether it is safe to proceed and the best way to do go about doing so.

Passengers summon the car using a smartphone and tap their destination into an onboard tablet computer and top speed is restricted to 12.5mph. But don’t anticipate a fleet of robot taxis yet, international regulations prevent driverless cars taking to public roads, and the Navia is as yet unable to recognise traffic signals.

new Black Cab

APANESE CAR giant Nissan has unveiled a new version of the iconic classic London black cab and the company promises that their 1.6 litre petrol-engined tax will be cleaner than the current diesel cabs being used in the capital. Nissan Executive Vice President, Andy Palmer said: “We changed the design of

the car to suit what we believe gives it the right ‘bowler-hat’ look that you would expect to see in London. It’s important because people have to instantaneously recognise the vehicle as a taxi because in London you are hailing taxis so we wanted the look and hopefully we have captured it here.” The company has also ensured that this latest version adheres to the strict Transport for London regulations governing the

capital’s black cabs, known officially as Hackney Carriages, including the required 25-foot turning circle. It goes on sale in London in December.

Splash! ITV - 18:45 - 20:15

ORMER Rugby Union player Austin Healey, comedienne Jenny Éclair, Tv presenter Pollyanna Woodward, Saturdays singer Una Foden and Paralympic athlete Richard Whitehead MBE will go head to head in week four of diving show Splash! on ITv on Saturday 25th January at 6.45pm.

Each will each take to the diving board under the watchful eye of Olympic Bronze medal and British and European Championship winner Tom Daley, in an attempt to master one of sport’s most difficult disciplines.

The five are currently in training ahead of diving live in a bid to impress the show’s panel of the judges and the viewing public. Only two will secure a place in the Semi Finals, joining Diversity’s Perri Kiely, presenters Michaela Strachan and Anna Williamson, and Boyzone’s Keith Duffy. Una Foden said “As a former child swimming champion, I’ve always loved the water so Splash! is a brilliant opportunity to get back to my roots and master a new skill. The band will be there on the night cheering me on, so hopefully having their support will help me conquer the inevitable nerves and give it my best shot.”

Britain´s Great War Editor Recommends BBC 1 - 21:00 - 22:00

AUNCHING the BBC’s biggest and most ambitious season to commemorate the World War One Centenary, Britain’s Great War, presented by Jeremy Paxman, and co-produced in partnership with The Open University, is a four-part landmark history series of how the First World War affected the lives of the British people and created what we know as modern Britain.

In the first episode, Jeremy Paxman traces the story of the dramatic early stages of the war: from stunned

disbelief to the mass recruitment of volunteer soldiers. Fear of invasion grips the country, Boy Scouts guard bridges and spies are suspected everywhere. For the first time, British civilians are fired on by enemy ships and bombed from the air. Jeremy meets a 105-year-old eyewitness to the shelling of Hartlepool, who describes how she thought the Germans had landed. The BBC’s centenary programming will explain why the First World War happened, commemorate and remember those involved, shine a light on what it was like to live through this cataclysmic event in world history, and interrogate and debate just what its legacy has meant for modern society.

24 Hours In A and E Editor Recommends Channel 4 - 21:00 - 22:00

HE award-winning series, filmed round the clock at King’s College Hospital in South London, continues with a dramatic episode that shows how a trip to A&E can act as a long overdue wake-up call.

Malcolm, who’s 56, has been rushed to King’s after suffering a cardiac arrest, and is on life support. His wife Heather found him when his heart stopped and she managed to resuscitate him after two minutes, before the paramedics arrived. Heather and Malcolm’s daughters feel that his survival was fate as Heather wouldn’t usually have been at home to save him. Phil, who’s 36, has come to King’s with chronic

pain in his back and side. Nightclub host Phil lives on tequila and milk, with virtually no solids. It’s clear that Phil’s party lifestyle, including over 100 units of alcohol a week, is taking its toll. As he’s treated, Phil reflects on living the life of a 21-year-old at 36. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Kamilla is rushed to King’s after being knocked down by a car on a pedestrian crossing on her way home from school. Doctors are worried that she has injured her head and neck. While Kamilla is scanned by doctors, her mother Nora talks about coming to England from Lithuania, her first impressions of London and her strong bond with her daughter. Finally, 61-year-old Bob has come in to A&E after developing numbness in his arm. Medics discover that Bob has suffered a stroke.

Spain still number 1

Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly

‘Schumacher Will no Longer Be Schumacher’

TOP BRITISH neurosurgeon has warned that the Formula One champion may have a completely different personality if he wakes up.

ORLD CHAMPIONS Spain are still ranked at number one in the world by FIFA, beginning 2014 as they ended 2013. Vicente del Bosque’s team have their sights set on winning consecutive World Cups this year, a target that’s starting to look very achievable by staying top of the pile in the first ranking release of

2014. Saying that, only 18 matches have been played since the list was updated on December 19th with little movement overall and none across the top 25 countries Small gains were made by South Africa, the United

Arab Emirates, Belize, Oman and Mali all rising by at least five places, but Saudi Arabia have made the biggest leap, climbing 14 places to 73rd, while Egypt are now 31st, moving up 10 spots. The biggest drops were by Gabon and Jordan losing 32 each, while the former had the biggest slump in the ranking as Stephane Bounguendza’s men dropped eight places to 85th.

Michael Schumacher is still in an artificially induced coma but is no longer in a ‘critical’ condition for the first time since his skiing accident, however, Richard Greenwood, a consultant neurologist at London’s Homerton Hospital, said the racing legend will be a ‘regular Joe’ if he recovers, as a result of his severe brain trauma. Speaking at a conference looking into the long-term effects, Dr Greenwood said: ‘If Schumacher survives he will not be Schumacher. He will be Joe Bloggs, his rehabilitation will only be effective if he comes to terms with being Bloggs, and fulfils what Bloggs can do. That’s a very, very difficult process to take people through, and many people don’t achieve it.’ Fears grow that Michael Schumacher will

be in a coma for the rest of his life because he has still not recovered enough to be woken Andreas Zieger, neurosurgeon of the University Clinic for neurosurgery in Oldenburg said: ‘There may have been complications, we should not speculate here. Ultimately, we are talking about life and death. A coma can in theory be maintained for a lifetime. It won’t hurt the human brain.’ However, his management team dismissed the fears as speculation, Schumacher’s manager Sabine Kehm said: ‘Unfortunately, I have to repeat any information regarding Michael’s health not coming from the doctors treating him, or his management, must be treated as pure speculation, I also repeat Michael’s family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael, and they trust them completely. Michael’s condition is still considered as stable.’

goalie gives Lacrosse team “girl power”

HIS APRIL, Lacrosse player Devon Wills could be joining a very elite group, If chosen by the New york Lizards in April’s final cut, the goalkeeper will become one of few female athletes to have crossed over to a male-dominated professional sport. Wills, 29, was selected by the (external) in December and is in line to make next season’s Major League Lacrosse (MLL) squad. Lacrosse’s popularity hasn’t yet crossed the Atlantic to the UK but in the US its big news, with all the major networks televising matches. Devon said:

“It was a huge honour, obviously really exciting. When I heard I was completely floored. It’s a whole new dream. It’s a noteworthy story simply because it’s a female playing in a male arena but for me it’s just an opportunity to try and compete and come out and play with the best of the best. I have full faith in the Lizard’s coaching staff that they are going to do what’s best for the team so if I’m good enough, I’m good enough and if I’m not, I’m not. I’m just grateful for the opportunity. If it doesn’t happen I’ll not be disappointed I wasn’t able make history, more so that I didn’t make the team. Although when I was debating whether or not to put my name forward a friend said to me ‘If you would rather see someone else be the first, don’t do it’ and that got my competitiveness bubbling and I said ‘No, I want to be the first!’”

ifth placed Everton were in Adeje last week undergoing a five day intensive winter training session in the Tenerife Top Training club.

According to club sources the ‘away’ training session was to help the team recover from a gruelling four-game glut, as well as preparing physically and mentally for the rest of the season. Everton are currently coached by Spaniard Roberto Martínez who congratulated Adeje for the excellence of its sporting installations and for the warm welcome the team received during their stay. Councillors for Sport and Tourism, Adolfo

Tenerife Weekly - 24th January 2014 - 30th January 2014 Alonso and Rafael Dolado, respectively, alongside T3 owner Roberto Konrad, paid an official visit to the team and talked about the importance of having such a training facility in Adeje and the excellence of the climatic conditions as well as the installations. Roberto Martínez said “the south of Tenerife is an ideal location for pre-season training as well, and it’s important that it augments capacity to allow more teams at this level to train here.”. This is the second time that Roberto Martínez has chosen T3 for a winter training session, given that in Everton’s home town the weather conditions mean outdoor training is virtually impossible.

Violinist To Compete In Winter Olympics

W month.

orld famous violinist Vanessa Mae has qualified to ski for Thailand at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, which start next

Skiing’s world governing body FIS has confirmed the eligibility of Vanessa Mae to compete after she raced four times in Slovenia last weekend in a last-ditch bid to meet the qualifying standard, Manager Giles Holland, speaking on behalf of Mae said: “It would appear that she’s done it. She’s done it by a whisker, but she’s done it.” The Olympics committee rule that countries with no skier ranked in the world’s top 500 may send one man and one woman to the Games if those athletes meet a second set of criteria. Thailand has no skiers ranked in the world’s top 500 for any Alpine discipline. To meet the second criteria, Mae had to pro-

duce an average of 140 points or fewer over five recognised races. Athletes earn points on an inverse scale based on their performance, so the fewer points an athlete has, the better they are. In the latest rankings, Mae is 3,166 in the world in giant slalom. Mae has long harboured an ambition to compete at the Winter Olympics: “It has been my dream and I am hoping people will accept I just want to give it my best. “I am taking a plunge. I am British, but realistically there is no way I could represent my own country. “Because my natural father is Thai, they have accepted me.” Mae will be competing as Vanessa Vanakorn using her father’s surname.

the SportS SCene By Colin Kirby

pick a Window Your Leaving

ONEy is always tight at CD Tenerife so out come the slide rules and calculators for the January transfer window. Transfer fees are normally beyond the club’s means and it’s a matter of balancing the wage bill by sending players out before bringing new ones in.

The most obvious saving was long standing goalie Sergio Aragoneses, a club legend during nine seasons but now not even on the subs bench, his reported 300,000 euro

salary was a big strain on the club. An agreement was reached to end his contract and he looks to be on his way to Recreativo who come to Santa Cruz in March, or even ambitious Cadiz who are way down in the Tercera Division. Left back Raul Llorente was next to go, in his second season, he has struggled to hold onto his starting place and has signed for AEL Kalloni in Greece. Less of a surprise was midfielder Oscar Rico, he arrived in the summer from Cartegena and made little impact and has found a place at Rael Jaen. Youth product Alberto was expected to leave but may get a reprieve due the Rigo’s injury, and forward

Guillem Marti look certain to follow through the exit door. After a long running contract dispute another local talent Sandro is crossing the water for a two year deal with Atletico Las Palmas, the B team of Tenerife’s promotion chasing rivals. As the days tick away until the window slams shut, fans are desperately hoping for several new arrivals including at least one striker. The most depressing scenario would be to lose hot prospect forward Ayoze Perez, Swansea City have renewed their interest in him, it would bring in a few million but rob the side of their creative spark.

away Win Sets up Clash of the Season at Cd marino

HIS Sunday fourth placed CD Marino welcome second placed CD Tenerife B to Las Americas at noon. It promises to be a cracker and features the two top goal scorers in Spain’s Tercera Division.

Last weekend Marino bounced back to top form with a 1-3 away win at CD Vera. Murci is the man firing in the goals for the blues, he took just 21 minutes to add a stylish header from a Roberto Carlos cross to his seasons tally, now at 16 goals. It only lasted 10 minutes before Aaron Muni leveled from a penalty. Marino have shone at home all season but have found points harder to pick up on their travels and with Murci going off at half time with a leg injury they needed to dig deep. Their nerves were settled

ten minutes into the second half, Eslava laid on a telling pass to Airam who grabbed the goal. Another was needed to seal the win, Aaron Darias made it happen by winning the ball in midfield and escorting it into the home net. CD Tenerife B had to grind out a 1-0 home win last week but have been in fine form all season. Their danger man is forward Jefte who is just behind Murci with 15 goals so far and they also have British player Jordan McCourt who had several successful seasons at Marino. The latest pearl from the Santa Cruz production line, Nano, should also feature but after his senior debut on Saturday he was kicked out of B team training in the week for his poor attitude. Entry for Sunday’s game is just eight euros with kids getting in free.

Basketball Cup Chase Will peak this Sunday

T WAS CLOSE but a 90 – 93 loss at Bilbao still leaves Iberostar Tenerife in with a great shout of qualifying for the Copa Del Rey based on next weekends league placings.

A late fight back just stopped short of a victory as the quarters went 26-21, 24-23, 25-26, and 18-20. Nico Richotti was hot with 20 points closely followed by Blagota Sekulic, Saul Blanco on 14 and Levi Rost with 12 gave good support.

This Sunday Manresa are the visitors to La Laguna at noon, it should be a party atmosphere as a win will seal a trip to Malaga in April for the knock out stages of the cup involving the top eight teams in the ACB.

Quicksilver Heels At Golden Mile

here’s always fancy footwork in the clubs at the heart of Playa de Las Americas but last Saturday evening it was all happening down on the street in the Golden Mile Run.

Young competitors tested themselves at modest distances as the races built up to the 5km and 10 km events.

This annual challenge from Canary Run always attracts a strong field of runners from many countries who enjoy competing in the first class conditions of Tenerife. The 5 km prizes in the womens category went to winner Elain Perez Toyas in 17.25 and in second place wearing number 914 it was Debbie Gilbey in 21.55, (check out her advert on page four to find out how she keeps so fit).

The mens proud winner was Martin Anderson with 15.49 followed by Dennis Konnings in 18.50. The toughest test was the 10 km challenge. For the women Live Solheimcal took the tape with 35.18 and Heini Papinsaari followed just behind on 38.18. The men came charging home led by Ola Sakshaug on 31.27 and a gallant second for Joakim Sodal with 31.53.

you can shrug these nightmare games off as a freak result but coming barely a month after the 0-3 surrender to Sabadell, there are clearly some big problems and the team is now back in the relegation zone.

eled in the wide open spaces afforded to them by Tenerife, Pacheco should have scored after five minutes but hooked over the bar. Javito showed him the way ten minutes later, he skipped through and picked his spot for the opener. Prendes should have doubled the score but couldn’t get a clean strike and home keeper Roberto was quick to grab the ball. The second goal was another gift, a tuck back from the goal line found Javito with plenty of room to add his second. Even at this stage it was clear this wasn’t going to end

New Players Needed To Halt CD Tenerife Relegation Slide

an’t score goals, can’t defend, and the midfield isn’t too clever either, that was the sorry state of CD Tenerife as they began the second half of their season. Three players suspended, three more leaving the club, loss of form, or lack of confidence, none of these factors could excuse this 0-4 home drubbing at the hands of lowly Alcorcon. Sometimes

Tenerife never looked comfortable last Saturday, Rigo filled in for Bruno in the centre of defence and was hopeless, his uncertainty rubbed off on the normally reliable full backs Camara and Moyano. Pacheco and Javito rev-

well. Only the sharp work of Roberto just before the break kept Javito from his hat trick. An injury to Rigo forced a reshuffle and Chechu at least broke through the Alcorcon flanks until he had to drop back to replace Camara as he departed for the latest home talent Nano to make his debut. In a goal mouth scramble the 18 year old just needed a touch to make a dream debut but it was the time of nightmares in Santa Cruz. The third goal came from a Pacheco corner, Roberto completely missed it and Verdes had the simplest nod in. It shouldn’t

have been possible to fade any more after such an inept display but Tenerife did, Suso had been bottled up and Ayoze was getting frustrated at the lack of service. The 7,937 fans tried to lift the team but it would have taken a JCB, time for one more nail in the coffin, Juli grabbed the fourth and the spectre of relegation was stalking the stadium and rattling it’s chains. It’s going to be a scrap for every point now, starting with this Sunday at Hercules, let’s hope the cavalry come charging over the hill before it’s too late.
