WHERE do all the bestBeatles go for a holi-day? Why Tenerife, ofcourse!

Well, three of them did, atleast, way back in 1963, justas they were launching theMersey Invasion, featuringBilly J Kramer, Gerry and thePacemakers and theMerseybeats, plus a host ofother groups.

And just as they popularisedtheir home town Liverpoolwith their dazzling brand ofpop music for many years, soLiverpool is about to spreadthe Tenerife gospel in theshape of a rare photographexhibition featuring the FabFour in their early days.

The collection, whichincludes snapshots of George,Paul and Ringo during theirstay in Tenerife - John Lennon

and manager Brian Epsteindecided on mainland Spain -will be on view in Liverpoolfrom next Wednesday (25thAugust) until the end of nextJanuary.

The exhibition of AstridKircherr’s work will be dis-played in the University ofLiverpool’s Victoria Gallery &Museum, for all to see.

The collection featuresmore than 70 pictures, previ-

ously unseen, taken by theGerman photographer, whomet the band in 1960 whilethey were playing in Hamburgnightclubs.

Astrid was engaged toStuart Sutcliffe, the Beatlesoriginal bass player who diedfrom a brain haemorrhage in1962. She was the first per-son to take studio shots ofthe group.

Her work also includes 1964images of the Fab Four takenin Liverpool during the makingof the film, A Hard Day’sNight, and shots of the city asit appeared in the Sixties.

She said: “I am delighted tocome back to Liverpool toshow my photographs at the

Victoria Gallery and Museum,having enjoyed seeingStuart’s work in the samevenue in 2009.”

Matthew Clough, museumdirector, said: “The primaryfocus of this exhibition is todemonstrate Astrid’s work asa significant 20th Centuryphotographer.

“Astrid is known for herphotographs of the Beatles inHamburg, but her images ofLiverpool in the early 60s pro-vide a unique snapshot of aparticular moment in its his-tory.”

The three Beatles spentnearly a fortnight chilling outin La Montañeta, near LosRealejos, Puerto de la Cruz,

and their stay has been indocumented in a recent bookby local historian Nicolás GLemus.

They had just recordedtheir first album, Please,Please me, which had gonestraight to No1, and wereobviously on their way tointernational fame and a hugefortune.

Beatlemania was taking offrapidly, and the following yearthey became the first Britishband to conquer America.

The Fab Four actuallyreturned to Spain in 1965 asglobal superstars, when theyplayed in front of packedvenues in Madrid andBarcelona,

THE SECOND Vice-President and Ministerof Economy andFinance, ElenaSalgado, Minister ofDevelopment andJose Blanco, met todiscuss the budget ofthis department forthe year 2011.

The arrival of additionalfunds is going to benefit,according to the Minister,more than 50 areas.

In his appearance aftermeeting with the Minister of

Public Works, José Blanco,the Second Deputy PrimeMinister and Minister ofEconomy, Elena Salgado, saidthat “the stability of marketsand some small domesticadjustment on initial fore-casts allow in 2011an addi-tional margin for the figuresof at least 500 millioneuros.“

The Vice President pointedout that this figure is includ-ed in the spending limitapproved by Parliament,which exceeds 122,000 mil-lion euros, and will notaffect the goal of cuttingthe deficit to 6%, as the

compromise reached withthe European Union.

As he explained, indicatingthe first budget figureswere sent to ministries weremade in a time of increasedvolatility in financial markets.In the words of the Minister,now has established stability,particularly after the publi-cation of stress tests.

The Minister of PublicWorks has indicated that upto 50 works will benefit nextyear with additional funds.

They recalled that, as inParliament, the adjustmentin relation to public invest-ment is severe and must

seek greater efficiency. Inthis regard, attention was tobe addressed “a reflectionon how to finance invest-ment.”

However, he noted that thedecline in revenue driven bythe decline in housing activi-ty was detected in 2008, sothat “last year in the budgetwe made the tax changeswhich we believe were nec-essary to meet our objec-tives deficit. “ From this per-spective, we’re assured that“the tax structure we havenow is sufficient, so thatreforms are envisaged in thisregard.”

Page 04 20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010

The Canarian Weeklythis week reaches edi-tion 666. As soon asyou mention this topeople they say –“The Devil”. The num-ber – 666 – is oftenreferred to as thenumber of the Beast,which is a conceptfrom the Book ofRevelation of the NewTestament of theChristian Bible, relat-ing to the figure of“The Beast”.

The number 666 is in mostmanuscripts of the NewTestament, and in moderntranslations and critical edi-tions of the Greek text.Although Irenaeus (2nd cen-tury AD) affirmed the num-ber to be 666 and reportedseveral scribal errors of thenumber, there is still doubt bysome theologians about theoriginal reading, as somerecently-discovered 3rd cen-tury early manuscripts ofRevelation read 616.

This topic is a source of con-tention for many churchgroups and theologians. Mostscholars contend that thenumber 666 is a code for theRoman Emperor Nero,

according to Wikipedia.In the U.S. Route 491 (US

491) is a north–south U.S.Highway serving the FourCorners region of the UnitedStates. One of the newestdesignations in the U.S.Highway system, it was creat-ed in 2003 as a renumberingof U.S. Route 666.

With the 666 designation,this road was nicknamedDevil’s Highway because ofthe common Christian beliefthat 666 is the Number ofthe Beast. This satanic conno-tation, combined with a highfatality rate along the NewMexico portion, convincedsome people the highway wascursed. The problem wascompounded with chronicsign theft.

These factors led to twoefforts to renumber thehighway, first by officials inArizona, later in New Mexico.Since the renumbering, as aresult of safety improvementprojects, fatality rates havedecreased.Did you know?

666 is the magic sum, orsum of the magic constantsof a six by six magic square,any row or column of whichadds up to 111.

It’s also the sum of all thenumbers on a roulette wheel.

666 was the original nameof the Macintosh SevenDustcomputer virus that was dis-covered in 1998.

Spanish TrafficAuthority startsto target theirforeign drivers

SPEED TRAPS in Spainare being adapted toread foreign numberplates.

The DGT Spanish trafficauthority has announced anew system to fine foreigndrivers who exceed the speedlimit. Previously many driversin foreign number-plated carsescaped punishment.

The new system has been

installed on four speed trapswhere there is a high numberof foreign drivers – the AP-7in Castellón, the A7 in Murcia,the A-31 in Alicante and theA-52 in Zamora.

It’s understood that specialadaptors on these speedtraps are designed to catchforeign motorists, that somehave been operational sincethe start of the summer, andthe rest will be so this week.

When the speed trapdetects a foreign numberplate breaking the speed limita photograph is taken andthen related to the DGT cen-tre in León where such finesare processed. At the sametime local Trafico agents inthe area receive an automat-ed message with details ofthe infraction so that theycan personally inform thedriver of the vehicle.

According to the DeputyDirector of the DGT, FedericoFernández, it has been shownthat between 30% and 40%of the speeding drivers in thesummer have foreign numberplates.

The news comes amid adebate in the media in Spainas to whether traffic finesare effective in saving lives,or a just another way for theGovernment to raise funds.

ICELAND is continuingto defy the EuropeanUnion and Norwayover its controversialmackerel quota withtwo of its main fishingcompanies announc-ing maximum effort.

In fact one of them,Samherji, has brought the7,800 ton Kristina EA, thelargest ship in the Icelandicfishing fleet up from theCanary islands to hunt formackerel and herring inIcelandic waters.

Kristina (previously theEngey RE) came in to theownership of Samherji threeyears ago and has been on

hire since then, fishing offthe shores of Africa. TheCaptain of Kristina EA isArngrímur Brynjólfsson andhis crew counts 35. The ship isequipped with powerful andhighly technical processingand freezing machinery andthe catch will all be processedon board.

Meanwhile, HB Grandi’spelagic fleet is back in the huntfor mackerel and herring aftera short break. All three vesselsstopped fishing recently to fitin with the Vopnafjördur fac-tory’s break in production and

are back at sea now to haveraw material for production toresume next week. So far thisseason HB Grandi’s pelagic ves-sels have landed 7300 tonnesof Atlanto-Scandian herring,with 23,000 tonnes remainingof their quota. The companysays that catches of mackerelhave been heavier, with 11,150tonnes landed so far, leaving4,400 tonnes of the quota tobe caught.

Up to last weekend the totalcatch by Icelandic vessels was75,000 metric tons, 58 percent of its self declared quota

of 130,000 tons. The FaroeIslands have also given them-selves a quota of 85,000 tons,much to the anger of the EU.Yesterday the ScottishFishermen’s Federation urgedthe Faroese to give up thequota.

The Icelandic Fishing VesselOwners Association has saidthat its country has “everyright to fish for mackerel with-in the Icelandic jurisdiction”just as Norway and the EUhave the right to fish formackerel in their respectivejurisdictions.

A fishy tale

IT WAS quite a wake-up call for about 135passengers on anovernight train head-ed to Milan, Italy. Theywoke up inSwitzerland instead.

The traveller’s had boardedthe Salvador Dali train inBarcelona, headed for Italy’sfashion capital. But some timein the middle of the night, sig-nallers in Lyon, France, sentthe train more than 150 miles

off course to Zurich, theTelegraph newspaper reports.

Apparently the mishapoccurred when several cars ofthe train were split andFrench workers were unsurewhich cars were going where.

The train company – runjointly by Spanish train opera-tor Renfe and French SNCF –figured out the mistake asthe train neared Geneva,Switzerland and redirectedthe coach to Zurich, wherepassengers awoke to the sky-scrapers of Switzerland’s

financial city – not exactly theview they were expecting.

They transferred to anothertrain and actually got to Milan

four hours behind schedule.Still, the embarrassed trainoperator offered everyone afull refund.

Wake up in a different city…

FACEBOOK hasunveiled a new fea-ture that lets mem-bers share theirwhereabouts withfriends while on themove.

Facebook Places is the socialnetworking site’s first stepinto location-based servicesfor people who own smart-phones equipped with satel-lite position tracking capabili-ties.

Members can “check-in” atrestaurants, bars, or othersocial venues and let theirfriends at the social networkinstantly know where theyare and with whom.

The launch includes an appli-cation for iPhone handsets,and members with smart-phones featuring web brows-er software supporting geo-location and HTML5 can use itat the mobile websitetouch.facebook.com.

The feature is initially onlyavailable in the US and whilethe company will eventuallyroll it out worldwide to its 500million users, a spokesman forFacebook UK said its releasehere was some months away.

“If you are not in the US youcan still see if friends areusing it here but you will notbe able to check-in,” Facebookfounder Mark Zuckerberg saidat the launch event at thefirm’s headquarters inCalifornia.

Facebook says privacy is akey feature of Places andusers could control who theyshare location informationwith.

The site has previously beencriticised for failing to safe-guard the information mem-bers post on their profiles.

The commercial potentialwith Places is with users beingable to declare wherever theyare whenever they want,opening themselves up tooffers, suggestions or adver-tisements about nearby busi-nesses.

Facebook said it had noimmediate plans to pursuethis, but the advertising mar-ket driven by small businessessuch as restaurants andstores is estimated in the tens

of billions of dollars a year inthe United States alone andhas attracted online compa-nies like Google and Yelp.

The feature has been intro-duced as improved GPS tech-nology in handheld phoneshas seen location-based socialnetworking services likeGowalla and Foursquarebecome increasingly popular

Their members let friendssee where they are and auto-matically update Facebookprofiles with the information.

“This validates that we areonto something,” Foursquarevice-president of partner-ships Holger Luedorf said atthe Places launch.

“We definitely want to helppeople connect their onlineand offline worlds.”

Wildlife experts havesaid reports of acolony of giant ratsneed to be investigat-ed after a hugerodent was shot deadon a West Yorkshirehousing estate.

The culled super rat meas-ured 30in (2.5ft) - making it asbig as a bulldog - and twicethe size of a normal rat.

Experts believe it could be adescendent of the coypuspecies, a large SouthAmerican rodent not seen inBritain for two decades.

Brandon Goddard, 31, whoshot the rat, said voluminousvermin have been invadinghomes on the Ravenscliffeestate in Bradford.

He saw four others of thesame size as he fired on thegroup with an air rifle.

Mr Goddard told The Sun:“They were more like Ratzillasthan rats. “I got out of there

as fast as I could. Who knowshow many there will be ifthey’ve been breeding?”

Brandon, a manager at acleaning firm, said: “The firstwent right past, but we gotthe second one. Then threemore got away.

“I’ve seen thousands of ratsduring the course of my workand go shooting a couple oftimes a week. But I’ve neverseen any as big as this.

“The one I shot wasabsolutely terrifying. I wasshaking. Goodness knowswhere the others went. I’mglad I don’t live there.”

People living on theRavenscliffe estate said largerats often invade their homesand council officials havebeen called out to eradicatethe problem.

THREE PEOPLE, includ-ing a 10-year-old boy,remained in hospitalyesterday (Thursday)with injuries sufferedwhen a bull chargedinto a crowd of terri-fied spectators at abullring in Spain.

Spanish television showeddramatic images of scream-ing spectators, including chil-dren, frantically trying toavoid the rampaging animalafter it leapt several metresover a security barrier andthen clambered over a fenceand into the crowded standsWednesday evening.

The animal stumbled aroundthe stands before fallingdown several steps, crushingmore people, at the bullring inthe town of Tafalla, in thenorthern Navarra region.

Several employees of thebullring finally managed to geta rope around the bull afterabout 15 minutes, and it waskilled and removed by a crane.

The Navarra regional gov-ernment said 32 people weretreated at hospitals and clin-ics. Most suffered minorinjuries such as bruising andwere released, but threeremained hospitalisedThursday.

A 10-year-old boy was inserious but stable conditionwith “abdominal trauma”after the bull fell on him, itsaid in a statement.

A 23-year-old woman wasbeing treated for a crushedvertebrae, and a 47-year-oldman for wounds sufferedwhen he was gored in thelower back. Both were in sta-ble condition.

In addition to the 32, “sever-al more” suffered shock orminor scratches and bruises,the statement said.

The incident did not takeplace during a traditional bull-

fight but during a contest of“recortadores”, in which par-ticipants try to dodge the bullwhile staying as close to it aspossible.

The bull, named Quesero,had already twice tried tojump the barrier during theevent, breaking one of itshorns, and was about to beremoved from the arenawhen it launched itself intothe crowd.

“I was terrified. I ran out ofthe stadium, crying,” oneyoung woman told the televi-sion of the neighbouringBasque region.

Another young woman said,“people started to fall overeach other... Then I couldn’tfind my friends, what hap-pened was awful.”

“I have never felt so afraid.I’m still shaking,” one of thoseinjured told the ABC newspa-per.

“The bull had already made afew attempts, but I was rela-tively calm. And suddenly, Isaw that the animal hadjumped and, after stayingstuck on the fence for a fewseconds, it came over. Thenthere was chaos... There wasstomping, pushing, shrieks,blows.“

The Navarra governmentsaid most of the spectatorswere young people who wereable to react in time to avoidthe bull, or the number ofcasualties could have been farhigher.

Such incidents are veryunusual at bullfights.Although the animals occa-sionally manage to leap thesecurity barrier they veryrarely get into the stands.

Wednesday’s incident cameamid intense debate in Spainover the centuries-old tradi-tion of bullfighting.

The northeastern region ofCatalonia last month becamethe first part of mainlandSpain to ban the practice,which animal activists con-demn as a form of tortureand others see as part ofthe country’s cultural her-itage.

In a recent opinion poll, 60percent of Spaniards saidthey do not approve of thespectacle, which ends withthe death of the bull from awell-placed sword.

Navarra, where Tafalla islocated, is famous for the tra-ditional “running of the bulls”in the regional capital ofPamplona.

Dozens of people areinjured each year when therunners try to outrace bullswhich charge through the oldtown’s narrow streets to abullring where a bullfight isstaged.

GOOGLE’S “StreetView” mapping fea-ture, in the news thisweek after a little girlwas filmed pretendingto be dead at the sideof a Worcester road,is being investigatedin Spain.

It is the latest country totangle with the Internetsearch giant over concernsthat it violates people’s priva-cy while taking shots ofstreets.

Madrid Judge RaquelFernandino has issued a sub-poena for a 4th Octoberappearance by a Google rep-resentative. Google Spainspokeswoman Marisa Torosaid the company would co-operate fully.

A complaint about Googlewas filed in June by APEDANI-CA, a private Internet watch-dog and technology consul-tancy.

The judge is inquiring intowhether Google committed a“computer crime”, saysAPEDANICA lawyer ValentinPlaya.

The Spanish probe is the lat-est since Google acknowl-edged that the technologyused by its “Street View” carshad inadvertently recordedfragments of people’s onlineactivities, broadcast overpublic Wi-Fi networks for thepast four years.

The Californian companysaid it collected such datafrom public Wi-Fi networks inmore than 30 countries. Butit is adamant that it neveruses the data and hasn’t bro-ken any laws.

The presidents of thebusiness associations ofAdeje and Arona haverecently come together toaddress various issuesrelated to the business ofboth municipalities.

This meeting reaffirmedtheir determination to con-tinue working together forthe businesses of Adeje andArona, but also intends toplan actions in which they

Both presidents aredeeply concerned aboutthe general economic situa-tion and say “it seems thattourism is recovering slow-ly, we must not lower ourguard, as we wait yearswhere international compe-tition is fierce, and it there-fore require to change theway we work and plan. “

In this sense, they say, it’sfundamental to search forareas of collaborationbetween all sectors, tofacilitate the achievementof decisive actions that

They believe that at thistime it would be useful toconvene a business summitin the whole region, to sit,around a desk, with all thebusiness groups in the area,so they have already beguna round of contacts forplanning.

The meeting also dis-cussed, among otherthings, the possible intro-duction of shopping malls inthe south and the negativeimpact this will have onlocal businesses, the possi-ble joint development ofExposaldo “Opportunity

THOUSANDS of Britishholiday-makers werescrambling to salvagetheir trips followingthe collapse of twotravel companies inthe past week.

Hundreds were stranded inSpain when Birmingham firmSun4u folded last Thursday.But there was good news formany more, who were able toget away after London-basedKiss Flights went out of busi-ness on Tuesday.

The Civil Aviation Authority(CAA) said around 1,500 KissFlights customers were takingflights to the Mediterranean,mainly from Gatwick andManchester - but only until6pm on Tuesday, when theentire operation shut down.

It left around 60,000 peoplewith forward bookings tryingto arrange alternative flightsthrough other travel agents,including those on two flightsto Tenerife from EastMidlands airport today

(Friday). The CAA reassuredthe tens of thousands ofBritish holiday-makers alreadyabroad on trips arranged byKiss Flights that they wouldbe able to continue their holi-days.

Kiss Flights, which operatedflights to Greece, Egypt,Turkey and the Canary Islands,folded after its owner, FlightOptions, ceased trading.

The company’s operationswere financially protected bythe CAA-run Atol (Air TravelOperators Licensing) scheme,but whether all 70,000 pas-sengers booked to travel inSeptember will be coveredremains to be seen.

“People who missed flightsthis week can either seekcompensation or go to travelagents to see if they can getan alternative flight,” said aCAA spokesman.

The same information waspassed on to Sun4u passen-gers, who should be able toget home with help fromABTA.

But one woman was left

bewildered when, after book-ing with Sun4You, and missingout, she then made new flightarrangements with KissFlights. “You couldn’t make itup,” she said dejectedly.

A message was posted onthe website of Kiss ownerFlight Options, saying thegroup had ceased trading asof 5pm on 17th August, andthat the CAA had beeninformed. But the websiteappears to have crashed withthe demand.It is understood that KissFlights picked up a large num-ber of bookings following thecollapse of another travelcompany, Goldtrail Holidays,on 17th July.

Reports indicate that Sun4uand Kiss Flights had fallen vic-tim of the Icelandic ash-cloudproblems earlier this year.

Tomasz Schafermaker madethe gesture at presentersSimon McCoy and FionaArmstrong on the BBC Newschannel. They said his fore-cast would be “100% accurateand provide all the detail youcould possibly want”.

The flustered weather pre-senter then realised he hadbeen caught on camera andtried to cover up what he wasdoing by scratching his chin.

A BBC spokesman said:“Tomasz was not aware thathe was on air, and whilst the

gesture was only shown for asecond, it was not acceptable.

“The News Channel presen-ter live in the studio acknowl-edged a mistake had beenmade, and we apologise for

any offence caused.” ThePolish-born weathermanbegan presenting on BBCSoutheast Today in 2001before joining the main BBCchannels in 2006.

THE SUGGESTION thatyoung people couldchange their names inadulthood to shrugoff their online trail isnot a practical solu-tion, UK recruitershave said.

Google boss Eric Schmidtsparked controversy whenhe said he expected today’schildren would seek a newidentity when the timecame to disown the rebel-lious activities of their teenyears, as documented onsocial networks.

In an interview with theWall Street Journal, thechief executive of the tech-nology giant said: “I don’tbelieve society understandswhat happens when every-thing is available, knowableand recorded by everyoneall the time.”

He added that one dayyoungsters would be enti-tled to change their names- and said it was an issuesociety must consider asfirms such his own collectever more informationabout their users.

Because of the dataGoogle collects, “we knowroughly who you are,roughly what you careabout, roughly who yourfriends are”, he said

However, recruitmentfirms point out that any

attempt to wipe out anonline trail would likely raisemore doubts than it cov-ered up.

“In theory, changing yourname could work,” said PhillLane, head of planning atPennaBarkers.

“But it would also openyou up to a huge gap inyour career history, in muchthe same way as leaving agap on your CV would - andthat’s something that willalways be investigated fur-ther at interview.

“The question for candi-dates would be: ‘What kindof information are you hid-ing?’

“If it’s simply pictures ofyou drunk on a night out,that’s information thatrecruiters would not typi-cally factor into a hiringdecision - they certainlyshouldn’t be.

“If, however, you are try-ing to cover up behaviourthat would reasonably jeop-ardise your chances of get-ting the job, that will likely

come out in the interviewprocess, so there’s going tobe little benefit as a candi-date in doing that.”

Once you are at employ-ment age you do have tostart to actively manageyour online persona andtake control of what youwant people outside yoursocial set to see.

Dr Gill Whiteman of gradu-ate recruiter TargetJobsadded it was not just youngpeople who might wish towithdraw information post-ed online.

“We are all guilty of beingnaive about how and whereour personal information isbeing stored, or the rulesand regulations of datausage and data protectionin different countries andhow these change overtime,” she said.

Dr Whiteman added thatanyone in employmentought to actively managetheir online persona, andregularly Google them-selves to check what an

outsider could discoverthrough a web search.

The recruiters said inmany cases, having a fulland active online presencecould actually help a youngperson in their futurecareer.

“It would be reasonable,for example, for an adver-tising agency to respondfavourably to a candidatethat had manipulated theirdigital footprint to adver-

tise themselves - it shows agrasp of the communica-tions channels and market-ing techniques,” said MrLane.

“But it’s questionable asto whether the same tac-tics would help you land ajob in, for example, a lawfirm where such an osten-tatious online presencemight actually be seen as athreat to client confiden-tiality and a lack of discre-

tion.” Based on MrSchmidt’s comments, suchawareness of the impact ofa social media profile is notlikely to be a fleeting con-sideration.

The Google headdescribed social networkingsite Facebook as a “compa-ny of consequence” andpredicted one or two othermajor players would comeon the scene in the nearfuture.

A LITTLE girl couldlose her eye becauseof an infection con-tracted from dogmess left in a play-ground.

Toddler Amiee Langdon,who will be two years old nextweek, put her hand in faeceswhen she fell over in a park.

Before her mother Suzannecould react, the little girlwiped her left eye with thesame hand.

Ms Langdon, a 29-year-oldnurse from Fallowfield,Manchester, rushed to cleanthe eye and rinsed it withwarm water once theyreturned home.

Amiee's condition is the con-sequence of some thought-

less dog owner. But it was toolate to stop Amiee contract-ing an infection called toxo-cariasis, which is caused byparasitic worms in dog mess.

The toddler's eye subse-quently swelled up, becomingpurple and inflamed.

Amiee was admitted to hos-pital where she was immedi-ately put on antibiotics.

But, if they do not work, shewill need surgery to removethe eye so the infection doesnot spread to her brain, which- in extreme cases - could leadto death.

I hope this makes irresponsi-ble dog owners understandthe very real consequencesof failing to pick up aftertheir dogs.

Amiee was playing in a gatedchildren's area of Platt Fields

Park, Fallowfield, when shefell over.

Ms Langdon said: "Amiee'scondition is the consequenceof some thoughtless dogowner.

"It's awful. There is a signsaying 'No dogs' near theentrance to the play area, butit seems people are ignoringit. Councils must get tough."

Paul Andrews, of neigh-bourhood services atManchester City Council, said:"I hope this extremely upset-ting incident makes irrespon-sible dog owners understandthe very real consequencesof failing to pick up aftertheir dogs.

"We are thinking about thislittle girl and her family andwe hope she makes a speedyrecovery."

THE LAST US combattroops in Iraq haveleft the country sevenyears after theAmerican-led invasion.

Soldiers from the 4thStryker Brigade crossed theturbulent country’s borderwith Kuwait earlier.

There are now 56,000 USsoldiers in Iraq, down fromabout 140,000 when USPresident Barack Obama tookoffice in January 2009.

His administration is on tar-get to reduce troop levels to50,000 by August 31, endingthe combat mission and leav-ing those who remain to trainIraqi armed forces and policeunits.

Meeting the deadline willmean Mr Obama is also onschedule to keep his promiseto pull out all US service mem-

bers from the country byJanuary 1, 2012.

There are still dark forces inIraq trying to pull the countryapart.

The President is facing a

war-weary American public, ashis fellow Democrats aim tohold on to their control of theUS Congress in elections inNovember.

Former Republican presi-

dent George Bush launchedthe American-led invasion in2003 that ousted Iraqi dicta-tor Saddam Hussein.

But the war becameunpopular among Americansas US deaths mounted.

As of Wednesday,America’s DefenceDepartment said there hadbeen 4,419 US militarydeaths since the invasion.

Mr Obama wants all USservice members out of Iraqby 2012. While violence hasdipped sharply since theheight of sectarian warfare,from 2006 to 2007, Iraq isstill extremely fragile.

Its leaders have notresolved a number of politi-cally explosive issues thatcould easily trigger renewedfighting.

The war in Iraq has gone onlonger than the US Civil War,World War I and World War II.

TWO POLICE groups haveteamed up to try to identify20 people whose bodies werefound near the rail and Tubenetwork over the past 35years.

The National PolicingImprovement Agency andBritish Transport Police com-missioned an artist to compilesketches of 20 people - 18males and two females -whose remains were foundbut who were never identified.

There were no suspiciouscircumstances surroundingany of the deaths.

“All these fatalities werefully investigated at the timeand all clues followed up totry to establish an identity,but without success,” saidBTP’s Detective ChiefSuperintendent Miles Flood.

“We are now taking anotherlook to see if there is anymore we can do, in somecases to see if advances inforensic techniques can help,and to appeal to the public tosee if anyone recognisesthem.

“Most of these cases arefrom the greater Londonarea, where people can oftenbe quite isolated and tran-sient, but one is fromCoventry and another - aquite recent death - in

Cornwall.“Some of these people may

have had an itinerantlifestyle, but it is likely thatthere are still relatives orfriends who may recognisethem and thought they hadsimply moved away.”

The drawings have beenmade by Leeds-based policefacial imaging specialistSharon McDonagh. She is oneof only a handful of accredit-ed police artists on the NPIA’sspecialist database.

She said: “What I try to do isto recreate what the personwould have looked like alive,to breathe life back into themif you like.

“The source material is amortuary photograph, butthe drawing is not just areproduction. Rather theseare interpretations that high-light certain characteristics,which people who knew theperson will hopefully instantlyrecognise.

“Although I only have a pic-ture of a face to work from, Iuse all the information aboutthat person. If you know theyare of slim build for instancethat will affect the way youdraw their face; if you knowsomething about their back-ground, you can get a feel forthe person.”

TWO BRITONS strand-ed on Europe’s high-est mountain havebeen rescued, afterthey rose the alarmvia SMS to a friend1,000 miles away.

The climbers, who have notbeen named, were forced tospend the night at 11,000ftin sub-zero temperatures onMont Blanc.

A storm had stopped themreturning to their base.

Rescue officials said theyraised the alarm by sending atext message from themountain’s Italian side to afriend in London, who thenalerted authorities.

Bad weather hampered anearly search and prevented arescue helicopter from tak-ing off.

The Brits were eventuallypicked up at the AiguilleNoire de Peuterey crest andflown to nearbyCourmayeur, at the foot ofthe mountain.

They are well-equippedbut no one wants to spend

the night at 3,700 metresunless you really have to. AnItalian rescue spokesmansaid: “From the bare mini-mum we have, we know thatthey were supposed toclimb to the top of MontBlanc but were taken by sur-

prise by the weather.August is the peak time forclimbing the 4,810m(15,782ft) Mt Blanc.

More than 20,000 peoplearrive every year, with res-cue missions at a peak in thesummer.

WYCLEF JEAN says hewill continue to fightto stand in Haiti’spresidential electiondespite receivingdeath threats.Speaking from a hideout in hishometown of Lassere, thehip-hop star said he hadmoved to a place where hefelt “secure” and “comfort-able” after receiving phonecalls threatening to kill himunless he left Haiti.“We know that the situationthat we have embarked on,you know, death threatscomes with the territory,” hesaid.Haiti’s provisional electoralcouncil had been due tofinalise the list of candidateson Tuesday but has post-poned it until Friday.I think my candidacy is a wildcard for the entire Haiti,every candidate, senator,deputy. I even think it’s a wildcard for the internationalcommunity in general.Jean said he and his legalteam had made sure all therequirements had been met.

“Every piece of paper thatthe electoral council haveasked for, we have delivered -everything.“So this delay of announcingthe candidacy is not on ourpart because we have giveneverything possible.”But there are questions overwhether the former Fugeesstar is eligible to stand for the

presidency.Haiti’s electoral law requirescandidates to have lived in thecountry for five consecutiveyears.Jean left his homeland agednine to go to the US where helaunched and developed hisinternational music career.But he believes his appoint-ment as a roving ambassador

by President Rene Preval in2007 exempts him from theresidency requirement.“The issue of residency, wehave proof, five years,” Jeansaid.Despite being admired bymany Haitians who see him asa celebrity who never forgothis roots, Jean knows he isnot the frontrunner.

THOUSANDS of teenswho have receivedrecord-breaking A-Level results havebeen warned theirgrades may not beenough to guaranteethem a universityplace.

One in 12 of all exams wasawarded the new A* topgrade while more than onein four entries (27%) wereawarded an A grade - upfrom 26.7% last year.

Overall, the pass rate rosefor the 28th year in a row,with 97.6% of entries get-ting a grade E or higher.

But despite their success-es, students have beenwarned that getting intotheir first choice university- or finding a course at all -will be harder than ever.

More than 660,000 stu-dents have applied for a uni-versity place this year.

Ucas, the organisationresponsible for managingapplications to higher edu-cation courses, said accept-ances across the UK wereup by 2.3%.

It said this year, a record379,411 applicants wereaccepted into university orcollege - compared to371,016 on results day lastyear.

But experts predictbetween 170,000 and200,000 students will be

left without a course due touniversity budget cuts and

increasing competition forplaces.

Many top universities havesaid they are already full.

Carl Gilleard, chief execu-tive of the Association ofGraduate Recruiters, saidthe clearing process wouldbe “more stressful thanever” and students shouldconsider taking a year out.

Last year, more 47,000

students found a universityplace through clearing.

Ucas advice lines are nowopen - but with fewerplaces available, the organi-sation will have its work cutout to accommodate every-one.

“My advice for schoolleavers that feel universityis the right route for them,but miss out on a place this

year, is to consider gettingsome broader experience,”Mr Gilleard said.

“Either in the workplace orby volunteering - which willhelp strengthen their appli-cation to university nexttime around.”

Chris Keates, general sec-retary of the NASUWTteaching union, said theGovernment had “betrayed”students who had achievedhigh grades but were unableto secure a university place.

“It would be economicallydisastrous to squander thepotential of highly talentedand hard-working youngpeople,” he said.

“Economic recoverydepends on investment inhigh-level education andskills training. If this fails tohappen, the hard work ofstudents will have beenbetrayed.”

Christine Blower, generalsecretary of the NationalUnion of Teachers, said ahigher pass rate did notmean A-levels had beendumbed down.

“There is no evidence thatthis has happened,” shesaid.

“Denigrating the achieve-ment of students seems tobe a national sport and doesnothing to reflect theimmense achievement ofyoung people and theirteachers.”

Record results comeamid Uni heartbreak

NIGHT SALES of vodkaand other types ofstrong alcohol are tobe banned in Moscowin a bid to tackle thecapital’s growing alco-hol problem.

A new minimum price forspirits is also to be introducedto stop the sale of cut-priceblack market booze.

Mayor Yuri Luzhkov is stop-ping shops selling drink con-taining more than 15% alcoholbetween 10pm and 10am.

It will mean Muscovites can-not buy spirits but it will notaffect sales of beer and wine.

Sceptics are not sure howthe ban, to come into effecton September 1, will be imple-mented.

A previous ban had prevent-

ed the sale of spirits between11pm and 8am in Moscow.

But it contained a loopholeallowing shops to sell alcohol24 hours a day in agreementwith the local authorities.

Earlier this summer Russiaimplemented a zero toleranceban on drink-driving afterPresident Dmitry Medvedevsaid Russians could still not betrusted with drink.

Alcohol abuse kills 500,000Russians annually andimpacts on male lifeexpectancy, which is lowerthan in impoverished coun-tries such as Bangladesh orHonduras.

“People are not able to lookafter their health. This needsto be learned,” Medvedevsaid in a television interviewin 2009.

A CASE of rare whiskythat has been trappedin the Antarctic formore than 100 yearshas finally beenopened - but it isunlikely anyone willget to taste a drop.

Instead the spirit will be pre-served for its historic signifi-cance and examined byexperts as the original recipeno longer exists.

The crate was recoveredfrom the Antarctic hut ofrenowned explorer Sir ErnestShackleton earlier this yearafter being found in 2006.

It contained 11 bottles ofMackinlay’s Scotch whiskydating from 1896 to 1907,wrapped in paper and strawto protect them from theharsh conditions ofShackleton’s 1907 Nimrodexpedition.

Even though the crate wasfrozen solid, the whisky insidecould be heard sloshingaround in the bottles asAntarctica’s -30C tempera-ture was not enough tofreeze it.

The whisky has been thawedvery slowly in recent weeks atthe Canterbury Museum inChristchurch on New

Zealand’s South Island.Once samples have been

extracted they will be sent toScottish distiller Whyte andMackay, which took overMackinlay’s distillery manyyears ago.

The bottles will then bereturned to their home -

under the floorboards ofShackleton’s hut at CapeRoyds on Ross Island, nearAntarctica’s McMurdoSound.

Richard Paterson, the mas-ter blender for Whyte andMackay, said: “This isimmensely exciting and a

great find for the Scottishwhisky industry.

“We hope to take possiblytwo of the bottles back toScotland and replicate therecipe. “The ice should havepreserved the whisky but wewon’t know until we examineit.”

Rare whisky 100 years on ice A ZIMBABWEAN manwho tried to smugglerare eggs worth£70,000 out of thecountry has beenjailed for 30 months.

Jeffrey Lendrum, 48, fromTowcester, Northampton-shire, was caught with 14peregrine falcon eggs placedin socks taped to his torso.

He has a history of eggtrafficking in his home coun-try along with Canada,where he was filmed abseil-ing from a helicopter to stealrare eggs from the top of atree.

Lendrum, who also holds anIrish passport, was foundguilty of taking 14 eggs froma nest in South Wales andattempting to export therare bounty without a per-mit.

He was arrested by officersas he sat in the Emiratesdeparture lounge atBirmingham InternationalAirport on May 3.

Officers from the WestMidlands Counter TerrorismUnit found the eggs tied in

to socks and bandaged to hisabdomen.

He told the officials he wastaking them abroad as apractical joke on his father,adding they were good forback pain.

Bred in captivity, the eggscan be bought for around£1,500 each but gain a farhigher value once hatched.

Lendrum, who has homesin both Zimbabwe and SouthAfrica, pleaded guilty atWarwick Crown Court onWednesday.

Eleven of the 14 eggs havebeen successfully incubatedand eight chicks have alreadybeen reintegrated to nestingsites around the UK.

The remaining chicks arecurrently in a wild releaseprogramme.

A BRIDE has brokenher back in threeplaces after fallingfrom a hotel balconywhile on honeymoonin Corfu.

Carrie-Anne Freeland brokeher spine in three places afterlosing her footing and plung-ing 20ft after a romanticmeal with new husbandMichael Dudbridge.

Disaster struck just daysafter the couple were mar-ried and embarked on adream honeymoon, a surprisegift from wedding guests.

Now friends and family havelaunched a campaign to bringCarrie-Anne home after beingtold they will have to fork out£16,000 for a speciallyequipped air ambulance.

An appeal has also beenplaced on the Millwall FC web-site, as the couple are fans.

Mr Dudbridge, 29, fromLewisham, south London, saidhe and his bride were strand-ed on the Greek island with no

money after making the tripwithout any travel insurance.

They wrongly believed theywere covered by theEuropean Health InsuranceCard (EHIC), known as theE111.

But while the card guaran-tees Carrie-Anne will “receivethe same level of medicalhealth care as a local resi-dent” it does not cover anytravel costs.

Mr Dudbridge, a builder, saidthe accident happened afterhis wife, a primary school sec-retary, went out to get somefresh air after the meal.

“We had literally just gotmarried and only had anotherday of our honeymoonbefore coming home,” he saidfrom her bedside.

“We went out for dinner andwhen we got back Carrie-Anne was feeling a bit dizzy asit’s just so hot out here.

“I was lying on the bed andmy wife went out onto thebalcony to get some air.

“The next thing I heard wasa big thud and I dashed out

and saw my wife lying on theground.

“I ran down and she was try-ing to get up but I just said‘don’t you dare until we getyou some help’. I just lay nextto her.”

Mr Dudbridge added: “I’vebeen sitting in the hospital,sleeping in a chair and we’redesperate to get her home.

“Carrie-Anne is mainly sleep-ing but she has spoken to meand she’s scared to death.She’s desperate to get hometo have an operation and seeher family.”

Doctors in Corfu will con-duct further tests this weekto establish how serious theinjuries are.

It is understood at least oneof the fractures is “serious”,though it is expected thatCarrie-Anne will not be leftparalysed.

The government warns theEHIC is “not a substitute forprivate travel insurance” andstates that “it will not coverthe costs of being broughtback to the UK”.

A SUSPECTED burglarhad to be rescued byfirefighters after get-ting stuck for six hourswith his legs hangingout of a window.

The unidentified man hadbeen attempting to enter ahouse in Bow, east London.

The homeowner discov-ered him dangling through

his window and called police.The would-be housebreak-

er had reportedly becomestuck between 2am and3am on Tuesday.

Amused spectatorswatched as the man wasfreed at around 8.30am.

A Scotland Yardspokesman said: "It appearsthe resident had comedown and found the man.He was stuck half-in, half-

out. "The man was eventual-ly freed by London Fire Brigade who appa-rently removed the windowframe.

"The man, aged 36, wasunhurt and has been arrest-ed on suspicion of burglary."

The burglar apparentlyemerged unscathed, wear-ing only tracksuit bottoms,and was taken off to a localpolice station.

Tales From Travels Of Years Gone By

DAVID PENNYEmail: [email protected]

THE HISTORY ofProtestant worship inthe Canaries goesback as long asAnglican merchantsand their families havebeen living in theIslands, with Church ofEngland SundayMorning Prayer servic-es being held in pri-vate houses or busi-ness premises.

The Anglican presence firstbecame formalised inTenerife with the opening ofthe English Cemetery - LaCherche, in Puerto Oratava(later to become Puerto de laCruz).

Following special tradingagreements with Holland inthe 17th century (theNetherlands, at this time,falling under the realm of theSpanish Crown) the Dutch hadbeen granted freedom of reli-gious expression within theislands.

This privilege was notextended to cover mainlandSpain and this factor, alongwith the growth of the north-ern European trading com-munity, led to the need for anon-Roman Catholic ceme-tery. Any non-Catholics, up tothis point, were buried out-side the city walls in non-con-secrated ground.

Land was ceded to trusteesfor a site in Puerto Oratavaand this cemetery, which isopen to all faiths, is stilladministered by All SaintsChurch in Puerto de la Cruz.

There is also a disusedBritish Cemetery in SantaCruz which is to be foundnext to the now-abandoned,cementerio de San Rafael ySan Roque, located on CalleJose Murphy.

The land was purchased in

1837 by British residents ofthe city and used for protes-tant burials until 1954. Thecemetery should be main-tained by the Ayuntamiento(town hall) of the city, and it islamentable that this is not thecase.

The beginnings of thechurch of All Saints can betraced back to 1887, when acommittee met under thechairmanship of His Grace Dr.Ingham, the Bishop of SierraLeone.

Steps were taken to erect achurch, and a suite of roomswere hired, known as “TheEnglish Church KennedyRooms,” to serve during theinterim period of construc-tion.

They also decided to open aChaplaincy Fund for subscrip-tions and agreed to pay thechaplain one pound tenshillings a week, (£1.50), withany surplus funds being givento charity.

In 1890, a grant of aboutthree acres of land, (approx12,000 m2) situated in TaoroPark, was made by the GrandBritish Hotel, which was thenthe largest hotel in Spain, andsufficient funds had been col-lected for work to com-

mence. Much of the donationcame from a Mrs MaryBoreham, who helped enor-mously with fund-raising andwho actually paid wholly forthe construction of theParsonage.

The church held its firstservice on 14th June 1891,but a smallpox outbreak pre-vented the formal opening.This was celebrated on 1stNovember of that year, AllSaint’s Day, with the actualconsecration subsequentlytaking place on 15th Januaryof 1893.

The two world wars tooktheir toll on the British com-munity, but the church wastreated with respect and con-sideration, as were the otherBritish institutions of the day.

And although the numberof British families on theisland, during World War IIdwindled to just nine, theymanaged to maintain thechurch and other societies,with the help and patronageof our Canarian hosts andfriends.

Santa Cruz also boasted itsvery own Anglican place ofworship in the form of StGeorges, (now San Jorge).This “typical English” church

was completed on landbought for the sum of £135in 1897.

It can be found on the cor-ner of Calle Viera Clavijo andLa Plaza de 25 de Julio, knownlocally as Plaza de los Patos,(Square of the Ducks).

Prior to this, PrayerMeetings were held in thehouse of Mr Hugo Hamilton,an illustrious family in the

Anglo Canarian community inthis city.

But because of falling con-gregation numbers over theyears, the building was hand-ed over, in recent times, tothe Roman Catholic authori-ties and is in regular use tothis day.

The story in Las Palmas is asimilar one with the BritishCemetery, dating back to1835, sited on land donatedby the Corporation of LasPalmas. The Cemeteryreceived other donations andthe land was prepared.

On 14th December of thatyear, the first burial tookplace - and it has been usedever since as the final restingplace for sailors, soldiers, cler-gy, missionaries, doctors(many of whom had stoppedoff on their way back fromAfrica for convalescence) andthose connected with theport, city and internationaltrade.

The city also has its ownAnglican Church, The HolyTrinity, which is on Calle RafaelRamiriz in the Cuidad Jardin

(Garden City) area of LasPalmas.

This church was also initi-ated following the visit ofBishop Ingham to the islandon 16th November 1887.The site was purchased andthe foundation stone laid in1891. The following yearthe Christmas serviceattracted a full congrega-tion in the newly-completedchurch.

With the decline of theEmpire, the Anglican church-es on the islands no longer fallunder the bishopric ofFreetown (Sierra Leone) butare administered as part ofthe “Chaplaincy in Europe”,which forms part of theChurch of England. An annualreport is submitted to theArchdeaconry of GibraltarSynod.

All of the above sites arewell worth a visit, if only toappreciate the architecturalbeauty and the Victoriancraftsmanship - and also toexperience a little bit of histo-ry left behind by our ex-patpredecessors.

All things brightand beautiful...In forthcoming editions of the Canarian Weekly, DAVID PENNY will be looking at the Anglo Canarian community, its history andinfluences on Canarian society, and its economy. In this first report, he covers the pastoral needs of our Victorian forbearer:

Saturday 21 August

Return of the X FactorTHE search begins tofind the new star ofthis year’s X Factor -and there will be somenew faces on thejudging panel.

The seventh series of theITV show will be presented byDermot O’Leary, as usual, withKonnie Huq taking over fromHolly Willoughby as presenterof Xtra Factor, over on ITV2.With Dannii Minogue absenton maternity leave during the

first few auditions, specialguest judges Katy Perry, PixieLott, Gerri Halliwell and NicoleScherzinger will be seenalongside regulars SimonCowell, Louis Walsh and CherylCole.

Rumours suggest that 2008X Factor winner AlexandraBurke will also be a stand-injudge for Dannii.

Singer Dannii, whose baby,Ethan, was born on 5th July inMebourne, will return for thejudges’ House stage, and forthe live finals.

The Aussie really has been abusy bee because she has alsobeen a judge on this year’s

Australia’s Got Talent, along-side her reality TV show StyleQueen.

Cheryl Cole was also missingfrom the initial stages of theX Factor this year after a seri-ous bout of malaria, caughtwhile on holiday in Tanzania.

But the feisty singer is fullyfit again and raring to go,especially with some back-upfrom other female judges.“It’s lovely for me that thereare other women on thepanel,” said Cheryl.

“I couldn’t be sitting

between those miserable so-and-so’s Simon and Louis onmy own! I love having other

women with us.” Each of the four categories -

Boys, Girls, Groups and Overs(28-plus this year), will again bementored by one of the judgesthroughout the competition.

So, could we unearth anoth-er superstar, like Leona Lewis,JLS or Alexandra Burke? Orwill it be another lost LeonJackson? Tune in to ITVtomorrow night (Saturday)from 7 to 9.30 to start thesearch.By Beth Sherwin

20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010

THIS WEEK sees therelease of IronMaiden’s 15th studioalbum, The FinalFrontier, which hasbeen leading the raceto the No1 spot withimpressive first-daysales.

Some 22,000 copies weresnapped up by the HeavyMetal band’s legion of follow-ers within hours of its UKrelease.

This latest and, some say,last album, would be theband’s first to debut at No1since 1988’s Seventh Son of aSeventh Son.

Iron Maiden are a strictlyBritish Heavy Metal outfit,and have been since theirbeginnings in the lateSeventies. Chief vocalistBruce Dickinson has giventhem their distinctive wail and

war-cries since joining in 1981. Each album has progressed

in technology through their30 years, but the grit andgrowl of guitarists DaveMurray and Adrian Smith’sriffs has characterisedMaiden’s unique style onevery album, including thisone.

It’s not unusual to get fouror five-star reviews for a rockband from a rock magazinelike Classic Rock or Kerrang!,but Maiden have achieved thisagain.

International reviewers alsosing high praises for a bandwho, let’s face it, are nolonger the cub scouts of thebusiness. At 52 and 53 yearsof age, they have proven withThe Final Frontier that like agood wine, rockers maturewith age.

With only ten songs on thislatest release, it is the longestalbum to be released fromthe London band. The running

time of 76 minutes leavesplenty of room for melodicintervals, heavy guitar-laden,two-minute assaults on thesenses, and plenty of drumsolos.

A European and NorthAmerican tour began in Dallasin June to support the CD,and will end next year inAustralia.

The first song on the album,Satellite 15 … The FinalFrontier, had led to rumoursthat it could be the finalalbum from Maiden.

But a in a recent interview,the band stated that it wouldnot necessarily be the closingchapter on one of Britain’smost prolific Heavy Metalexports.

The band have courted con-troversy over the years.Rumours of Satanic over-tones, especially for the 1982album The Number of theBeast, led to bonfires acrossthe US Christian communities

as the album was publiclyburned.

Chile even went as far asbanning The Mighty Maidenfrom performing in the coun-try, amid fears that theteenage population wouldconvert to the Dark Side.

In actual fact, the band con-form to no religious view-point, and believe the storiestold in their songs to be talesof total fantasy.

The Final Frontier may wellbeat Eminem’s albumRecovery to this week’s UKNo1 album spot.

The tour will almost certain-ly be a sell-out, and The Iron’sriffs will be learned by a newgeneration of teenage bed-room guitarists and drum-mers.

We will also see the backcatalogue re-entering thecharts as new fans find IronMaiden just as fascinating andevocative as the past threegenerations did.

Now, that’s what I callseriously heavy metal!

COLDPLAY look toincrease their lead asone of the richestBritish bands of thenew Millennium asthey sign a newrecord deal.

Universal have signed a newmega-deal with the Viva laVida hit-makers, said to beworth multi-millions. Theband will leave BMG after tenyears to strike out on the newdeal.

A new album is on its wayfor 2011, and the band saidrecently that the new albumhas Killer Tunes all over it,and may follow their clean-sweep of all four previous

albums getting the UK No1spot. But LP5 is being keptunder wraps until the NewYear, when pre-releases willbe sent to radio stationsaround the globe to gener-ate media interest.

Their 2009 Viva la Vidaalbum was a global success,rising to the top spot in 11countries, which almosttopped 2005’s X&Y. But withslightly fewer sales, it wasstill the biggest selling albumin the world for 2008/2009.

Coldplay have shifted 50million albums worldwideduring their 10-year career,and look to extend theirpopularity into a new decadeunder the wings of Universalrecords.

P DIDDY, who earned30 million dollars inthe last 12 monthsbetween June 2009and June 2010, hasbeen knocked off theForbes’ richest list ofrappers by Jay-Z.

In the same period, Jay-Zracked up 35 million dollarsthrough album sales, down-loads, tours, merchandise andhis multi-collaborations.

His record label, Roc Nation,has bumped up his earnings,no doubt, but he still has along way to go to top hiswife’s earnings. Beyonce hasreputedly clocked up 87 mil-lion dollar bills in the past 12months.

Jay-Z, who holds the recordfor the most No1 albums onthe US Billboard chart,climbed two places on theForbes Richest Rappers list,

with P Diddy falling to secondplace, Kanye West was atthird, followed by Acon, LilWayne, Eminen, PharrellWilliams and Timbaland.

Poor P Diddy’stake a tumble

Nothing cold aboutthis red-hot band

I HAVE no idea what isgoing on with me.Lately, I have beenlooking back on yearsgone by.

Not that I’m feeling nostal-gic, like we all can some-times. Not that I’m listeningto music that takes us backto a place where we canclearly remember what wewere doing and who we weredoing it with.

No nothing like that at all,although right now I amwishing it was, actually.

I blame Pierce Brosnan, theformer James Bond. He is allover the TV at the moment,advertising the L’Oreal rangeof men’s skincare products.It must work as he is 57,which is 12 years older thanme.

He looks great in the com-mercial, and I wouldn’t like itto me! I got a friend fromEngland to post me over thisproduct because, withpostage and packing, it wasmuch cheaper than buying itover here.

So, for three weeks, I havebeen doing exactly what itsays in the instructions.Every day I have been look-ing in the mirror, which Ihave always hated doing. Buteven psychologically, I shouldbe able to convince myselfthat it is working.

But no, I see no difference.Where once there were cutedimples, there are just linesof aging. I had quite anaction hero’s jawline. Now,with the stretching of theskin, it looks like an ill-fittingmask from MissionImpossible.

For a few years, I was ableto carry off the designerstubble look with ease.Twenty-four hours after ashave, I need to do it all overagain now as I my beard is sowhite that I look like FatherChristmas.

I don’t feel sorry formyself. I just don’t knowwhat has happened in thelast few years. I am happierthan I have ever been in mylife, so I need to know whathas gone wrong?

So, to solve this puzzle, Ihave been thinking back to afew highlights in my lifewhich make me smile. Goingto the seaside would always

be the family day out. Not a lot of money in the

Ferguson household back inthe day. So all six of us in thefamily would make our wayto the train stop (it was nota station where I wasbrought up) to head off tothat magical place calledBangor, County Down.

I remember the jealouslooks from my pals as weanswered their questions asto where we were going. Ifelt like one of the Royalfamily as we boarded thetrain, knowing it was only amatter of time before thesmell of seaweed, fish andchips and candyfloss filledmy nostrils.

Smells like that always takeme back to places and eventsthat I had forgotten about.

This week, I have had a stink-ing cold and have been relyingon throat lozenges. As soonas I opened the wrapper, thememories of the one thing Ialways hated as kid cameflooding back. “Syrup of Figs”.

No matter it was in ourhouse this product, clearlymade by the Devil, wasbrought out. As a matter offact, in the medicine cup-board there were only twoproducts to be found andnothing else: Milk of Magnesiaand the Syrup. If one didn’twork you had to take theother. Taken as a combination

you knew you were prettymuch close to death.

The stench of the syrup waswell known toy my neigh-bours. I am sure many peoplecame round and said thatthey noticed I had a sneezewhile talking to their kids …just to see me hide in the cor-ner as my mum made a rushfor the medicine box.

In my teens I was trying, asmany 13-year-olds do, to becool. I watched the JamesDean, Marlon Brando and Elvismovies. They always seemedto have a bottle of Coca Colain their hand. To this day I lovethe stuff.

The small, classic bottles inthe late 70s were always easyto come by as the plastic one-litres were years away frombeing invented.

When I had a Coke bottle inmy hand I was transported toCalifornia, ready to hop on mymotorcycle to have a greatadventure. I was a one-off

then and looked a bit ofweirdo.

But then Pepsi decided tobring out their classic “Lipsmacking Pepsi Cola” com-mercial with a Fonz lookalike,and everybody was thenwearing leather jackets over awhite T-shirt, even in the blaz-ing heat!

So I grew out of it allbecause I was pretty happythat I did it out of real andoriginal Americano, throughwatching the classic moviesof that era. Not because aguy in a sports jacket and badflares copied the Happy DaysTV show.

Then, obviously, the movieGrease came out, and all youcould see were loads of blokestrying to be John Travolta,and the ladies wanting to beOlivia!

I see old friends to this daywho still call me “Drainpipe”.When everybody was wearingflared jeans, I had to get thedrainpipe look. I was wearingthese things long before thepunk years. So in your face,Sex Pistols.

As my friends started to getinto classic Rock ‘n’ Rollbecause of the 50s nostalgia,I reverted to flares becauseof the disco music coming outof New York, and thenSaturday Night Fever.

That lasted about twomonths because the style

hated me, it seemed, but themusic was and still is just thebest.

I mentioned Coca Cola, andlittle did I know that in my lateteens, early 20s, I would beworking for that company. Itlasted five years of what Iconsider to have been thebest job in my life.

I was a helper in a lorry deliv-ering. Sun, rain and snow, mydriver, Charlie Key, and I wouldhead out to take this beauti-ful drink to pubs and shops allover Northern Ireland.

I did a lot of growing upthen. as it was a horribletime because of the “trou-bles”, and I had to wise upvery quickly. But I am aprotestant and was deliver-ing into catholic areas. Placeswhere it was known to beextremely dangerous.

So why was I always happyto be in these places?Because it simply did notmatter where you camefrom, or what you did.Forget what you seem tothink of Belfast. It was thetime that I noticed all wasnot what it seemed to be.

I was shown that themajority did not want whatwas going on in my homecountry. I smile when, as alittle protestant, I think backto the cups of tea I wasdrinking with my newcatholic friends.

Oh, the many jobs I hadafter 1988, the manymorons I worked for, includ-ing the boss of a certainchemists I would still love tomeet up with to give him apiece of my mind because hefired me That is one chip onmy shoulder I need to get ridof.

Then came the day I willnever forget, when it all fellinto place. It was 1990, onthe day of the Radio OneRoad Show.

I was always pretending tobe a Dj with the record-play-er, reading out requests formy family in the house. Theywould laugh, but I was actu-ally being so serious about it.

But this particular day,when I sat in awe of MikeRead and Philip Schofield,was like the awakening Ineeded. I wanted to have allthis.

They were being screamedat by girls, and I liked that.The excitement of all thetrucks and the equipmentlooked so cool. And I havenever looked back.

I worked alongside Philtwice and shared a cabinaboard a yacht in Canneswith Mike Read. I told themhow they influenced me tobe on radio, and they couldnot believe that this big-mouth bloke from Belfastlooked on them as an influ-ence.

And from then on, as theysay, the rest is history. Iwould be here all week writ-ing about the smiles in mynearly 20-year-career onradio. Oh my God … 20 years!I guess I just have to acceptthe fact that time really isgoing by so quickly.

So yes, it has a lot to dowith the ageing process. Nomatter how many timesJames Bond sells me a lotionto slow the hands of time, itwill creep up on me soonenough.

Those lines on my face thatwere once cute dimples? Idon’t mind at all now. I knowthat those lines mean many,many years of happiness andlaughter. So all I can hope foris that they get deeper astime comes along.

Maybe I look old, and I canaccept that. But I will neverfeel it. All thanks to mymemories.

THE HIGH STREETavoided a World Cuphangover in July asretail sales volumesjumped 1.1%, figureshave showed.

The performance was near-ly three times faster thanexpected and representedthe highest month-on-monthrise since February, the Officefor National Statistics (ONS)said.

A strong rise in volumes fora broad mix of retailers,including sports equipmentand jewellery shops, offset a

flat month for departmentstores and lower householdgoods sales, the ONS said.

Analysts had forecast a riseof 0.4% on July.

On the year, sales were up1.3% against a forecast of0.6%.

Shoppers are likely to havebeen tempted by price cut-ting after inflation figuresshowed the biggest slide inclothing and footwear pricesfor eight years between Juneand July.

But sales volumes from

food stores were down 1%month on month, as theimpact of the World Cupfaded while prices also rose.

Household goods stores sawvolumes fall 0.7% month onmonth, as the pre-tourna-ment boom in flat-screen tel-evisions faded slightly.

Overall sales volumes wereup 1.3% on a year earlier,although concerns remainover the prospects for thehigh street as the ChancellorGeorge Osborne’s austeritymeasures loom.

VAT is set to be hiked to 20%in January as part of theGovernment’s deficit-bustingpackage.

Looming public sector belt-tightening and fears overunemployment are also likelyto dent consumer confi-dence.

David Tinsley, UK economistfor National Australia Bank,said: “This retail sales datadoes suggest that the econo-my still has some momentumbehind it, it’s optimistic forthe public finances as well.”

PATIOS here inTenerife do not haveto be awash withcolour all the time,even though hangingbaskets and plantersbrighten up the placeand put a smile onyour face.

But for those of you whoare out working most days, orsimply don’t fancy keeping aneye on your plants all thetime, palm trees are an idealsolution.

And there’s nowhere betterthan to seek out a good selec-tion of palms than right hereon the Island.

Garden centres always havegood stocks in, unsurprisingly.So, should you spot an unusu-al tree amidst all the regularWashington and Phoenix lin-ing our roads, a quick searcharound the centre will almostcertainly reveal what you arelooking for.

Palm trees and shrubsrequire little attention, andthere’s no need to worryabout the hot conditionsbecause, like us, that’s whatthey’re here for!

Of course, they love a goodsoaking now and then, but itis surprising how long theycan maintain their richnessand good looks without water,so there’s no need to worry ifyou do go away for a week orso.

Also, they are happy to sit ina decent-size tub or pot foryears, which cuts out theproblem of what to do withshrubs or trees when theystart creeping up and up.

They have a much slowergrowing rate than if theywere in the ground becausethey get root-bound eventu-ally, and will keep you compa-ny for years.

One of my pals ahead a realeye-opener a few years agowhen he found a poorWashington plant abandonedby a basura in an old bluebucket.

It was only about a foot tall,with just one leaf strivingagainst the odds to make anappearance. It looked so piti-ful that he took it home andplanted it in right in the mid-dle of his little front garden.

Miraculously, with regular

watering, it flourished andafter a year it was a healthythree feet high.

It continued to grow into amagnificent tree and beforethe fourth year was out, ithad virtually taken over thegarden, standing some 10fttall with a trunk you couldbarely put your arms around.

In the end, it was too over-powering, and my pal’s com-munity gardeners were happyto take it off his hands andreplant it on the complex.

So keep your plants/trees inpots if you do not want to beoverwhelmed by them inyears to come.

Here are some of the palmsyou will encounter at gardencentres, and remember, smallis not only cheaper but best,because you can watch thetree or shrub develop right onyour patio.Trachycarpus fortunei

This attractive, fan-typeplant with glossy leaves is per-fect for creating an exoticlook on your patio. Its toler-ance to drought, togetherwith its tough leaves andtrunk make it the perfectchoice for coastal areas.

It’s really easy to look after,

as well. Simply put it straighton the patio in its pot andleave to its own devices. Itreally is a toughie andrequires virtually no mainte-nance.

Give it a good dose of waterfor starters, and a sprinklenow and then, and it willreward you with its gloriousstructural foliage all year long. Washingtonia Palm

The Washington is one ofthe Island’s most commonpalms and you’ll see themeverywhere. They aredrought-resistant, needingwatering only now and then,and look magnificent if welltended.

As they grow bigger, the

Washington, aptly named“Robusta”, forms a reallyattractive shape and can bepruned when necessary. Butdon’t try this unless you knowwhat you are doing. Get theadvice and assistance from aregistered tree surgeon.

They don’t charge much,and the knowledge they canimpart on plant maintenancemakes it so worthwhile.Dracena Indivisa

The Dracena, a really prettypalm-type shrub, is perfectfor creating an exotic lookand lives happily on a patio.Give it a good dose of waterfor starters and it will rewardyou with its glorious foliage allyear long.

Like the others, it loves thewarm climate, but even inEngland the Dracena canwithstand mild winters in shel-tered gardens, where frostsaren’t too harsh.

It is also commonly grown asan indoor plant, in the UK orover here, and it will quicklybring the inside of your hometo life.

Water once a week at themost, and, make sure it does-n’t become waterlogged forlong periods of time.Phoenix Canariensis

Here’s another greatTenerife favourite, as thename suggests, and it’s prob-ably the one you see most ofall on your travels throughoutthe Island.

The Phoenix is a natural foryour patio and it is really easyto look after. In fact, it’s bestleft to its own devicesbecause it requires so littlemaintenance apart from adrop of water from time totime.

Again, it can flourish inEngland if protected againstthe frost, but it really is athome in sunny Tenerife. Tostart with it will have a stoutstem, but it will eventuallygrow its familiar long-scaledtrunk.

A word of warning, though.The leaves carry the sharpestof pointed ends, like needles,and can be very painful if youcome into contact with them.

Be extremely careful whenpruning the leaves as they

grow bigger because they“strike” when you’re not look-ing. Best bet is to call in a treesurgeon. He’s used to all thejabs, and knows how to avoidcontact most of the time.Chamaerops Humilis

This another attractive, fan-type plant with glossy leaves,which can only add to thesunny disposition of yourpatio.

Again, it’s another toughcookie and needs little atten-tion, apart from a splash ofwater every week or so.That’s the beauty of thesepalms, as you will find out ifyou get the bug for growingthem. Pistacia Lentiscus

Here’s an evergreen shrubwith a difference - it pro-duces clusters of tiny, bright-red flowers all year round. Itneeds watering more thanthe palms, so keep an eye onit, and will make a pretty addi-tion to your patio, breakingup that all-green look.Yucca Jewel

The crowning Jewel! Yuccasgrow just about anywhere,and this variety is no differ-ent. It has extremely attrac-tive leaves, again to add a hintof colour among the palms.

And, like them, it doesn’trequire much loving. Itthrives in coastal regions,which will suit most of usaround the south, and isextremely tolerant todrought, which is just as wellin these parts!

The charms of palms

OVER THE next monthI’ve decided to answersome of the commonquestions I get asked,as a personal trainer,on a regular basis.

Some are quite basic, whileothers are more complex andcan cover a huge area. If youare in any doubt about yourhealth and starting up anexercise plan, please consultyour doctor for a check-up. Itwill put your mind at ease andmotivate you to get started.They are quite simple andshould be done on a yearlybasis. So let’s get some com-mon areas covered.

Q: Why are my cruncheshurting my neck so much?Am I doing them wrong?

A: Yes and no. Doing abdom-inal exercises can strain theneck simply because the aver-age head weighs 8-12 lbs (3.5-5.5k). When your neck mus-cles are weak, you will reallyfeel that strain. A way toimprove this is to perfectyour form.

First of all, don’t pull on yourhead. Place your fingertipsbehind your ears, not on yourneck. You want to supportthe weight of your head with-out pulling on your neck andcreating strain. Try picking aspot on the ceiling to stare atin order to keep your chin offyour chest.

Make sure when doing thecrunch that you are pullingyour stomach muscles downtowards the spine and that

you breathe out on the wayup. Also, remember that asyou continue to work out, themuscles in your neck will getstronger and you will be bet-ter able to tolerate the dis-comfort.

Q: I really like how my quadsand hams have started tight-ening up, but my inner thighshave a long way to go. Anysuggestions for exercisesthat will help this area?

A: Sadly, this is where yourbody chooses to deposit itsfat. Genetically speaking, yourbody is predisposed to carryweight there, so that will bethe last place it’s going tocome off. The best thing youcan do is watch what you eatand keep training. This willhelp you lose weight in gener-al and, eventually, those prob-lem areas will have to give!

That said, if strengtheningthe muscles in this area is thegoal, I prefer old-school, JaneFonda leg-lifts. They targetthe muscle you want to hitwithout creating bulk. Put asoft-ball or cushion betweenyour legs and pulse your

upper legs together. Trydoing it when the adverts areon.

I know this isn’t exactly theanswer you’re looking for, butit’s the truth, and if you staythe course, your inner thighsWILL tighten up. Just keepdoing what you’re doing.

Q: I’m trying to learn to lis-ten to my body and eat onlywhen I am hungry, and some-times I just don’t really wantanything to eat. Is it okay toskip meals, or to eat fewerthan the recommended calo-ries?

A: You should NOT skipmeals because this causes somany adverse effects. Notonly does it slow your metab-olism but it can also lead toovereating, because whenyou do eat, you’re overly hun-gry.

As for cutting your caloriesbelow your recommendedallowance, remember thisgolden rule: never allow yourdaily calorie allowance to fallbelow 1,200 if you are awoman, and 1,500 if you are aman.

Falling below these dailyallowances can do real dam-age to your metabolism andresult in excessive loss of leanmuscle tissue. When youreduce your calories dramati-cally on a consistent basis, itcan slow your metabolism ortrigger a plateau. Consistentexercise, plus the occasionalhigh-calorie day, will help wardoff a plateau.

Danni’s tip: go easy on your-self! When you try to over-haul your entire lifestyleovernight, it’s easy to burnout. But when you start withone small, realistic changeand put your energy intomaking it a habit, the chancesare a lot better that it willstick. You can do it!

When it comesto the crunch…

IF it’s a new lookyou’re after, thereare many factors toconsider, so let’s startat the beginning.

First of all, why do you wanta change? Are you bored? Is ityour age? Or perhaps you’vegot a special date coming up,such a wedding etc?

Whatever the reason,you’ve decided on a change,so now you ask yourself:“Okay, where do I start?”

Right, you need someammunition, so get togetherphotos of what you’ve hadbefore, of what you liked anddidn’t like. Look for styles inmagazines and the internet -anything to show to your styl-ist what you do and don’twant.

Don’t think that us stylistsare bothered by you tellingus, because any professionalwill welcome the help andassistance.

The best way to approachyour stylist is to book a con-sultation prior to the appoint-ment. This can take minutesor longer, depending on howsure/unsure you are of whatis to be carried out.

During this consultation,show your stylist your ideasand then let him/her takeover. Listen to the advicegiven - and even if it’s con-trary to what you want listento, why they are telling you

this? They may be telling youthat you can’t go for a shortblonde bob when you havethick, curly, dark hair. Yes, itmay be what you want, butthe stylist wants it to suit youtotally, and not look ridiculouswhen you come to leave.

If, during your consultation,you feel that the stylist isn’tlistening or interested, thenthat’s your opportunity tothink twice about booking anappointment. Never be bulliedinto making a date if you lackconfidence in the stylist’swords or advice.

Okay, so if you’ve decided togo ahead with your chosenstyle and/or colour, then dur-ing this appointment, justcarry on asking questionsabout the procedure.

There’s no point question-ing something later when thework is finished. Be inquisitiveand ask why the stylist is

doing this, and what’s thisgoing to do to my hair, etc.

I’m often too honest andgive too many explanationsregarding my work, butrather this than an upsetclient.

Also, ask about maintenanceand upkeep of your style, andwhen you should return for acut and colour, etc, and howlong you can expect to getout of a cut and colour-

If you’re the less-is-moretype, then a cut and colourthat needs doing every fourweeks isn’t for you, is it?There are some looks toinspire and these don’t suiteveryone, but they can beadapted to most face shapes.

Remember, we as hair-dressers aren’t magicians. Wecan work only with what weare given but, with your helpand our expertise, you’re sureto find a “New You”.

Shaping the‘New You’

RESEARCHERS inFinland believe thathigh levels of the sun-shine-enhancing vita-min D may decreaseyour risk of develop-ing Parkinson’s diseaselater in life..

Their study of 3,000 people,published in Archives ofNeurology, found people withthe lowest levels of the vita-min had a threefold higherrisk.

It’s a fantastic advert for liv-ing in Tenerife, perhaps,because experts believe vita-min D, made mostly in thebody when the skin is

exposed to sunlight, could behelping to protect the nervecells gradually lost by peoplewith the disease.

Parkinson’s disease affectsseveral parts of the brain,leading to symptoms liketremor and slow movements.

The researchers, fromFinland’s National Institute forHealth and Welfare, measuredvitamin D levels from thestudy group between 1978and 1980, using blood sam-ples.

They then tracked thesepeople over 30 years to seewhether they actually devel-oped Parkinson’s disease.

They found that peoplewith the lowest levels of vita-min D were three times more

likely to develop Parkinson’sthan the group with the high-est levels. But the charityParkinson’s UK said furtherresearch was required.

Apart from sunlight, somevitamin D comes from foodssuch as oily fish, milk or cere-als. But, as people age, theirskin becomes less able to pro-duce the vitamin.

Doctors have known foryears that vitamin D helps cal-cium uptake and bone forma-tion.

But current research nowshows that it also plays a rolein regulating the immune sys-tem, as well as in the develop-ment of the nervous system.

In an editorial in US journalArchives of Neurology, Marian

Evatt, assistant professor ofneurology at EmoryUniversity School of Medicine,says that health authoritiesshould consider raising thetarget vitamin D level.

“At this point, 30 nanogramsper millilitre of blood or moreappears optimal for bonehealth in humans,” he writes.

“However, researchers don’tyet know what level is optimal

for brain health, or at whatpoint vitamin D becomes toxicfor humans, and this topicdeserves close examination.”

Dr Kieran Breen, director ofresearch at Parkinson’s UK,said: “The study provides fur-ther clues about the potentialenvironmental factors thatmay influence or protectagainst the progression ofParkinson’s.

“A balanced, healthy dietshould provide the recom-mended levels of vitamin D.But

further research is requiredto find out whether taking adietary supplement, orincreased exposure to sun-light, may have an effect onParkinson’s, and at whatstage these would be mostbeneficial.”

YOU can lie out in thesun all day and everyday in search of an all-over tan. But you canforget that golden-brown glow.

Scientists (from Scotland,admittedly) believe it is mis-sion impossible. They say aconsistent tan is impossiblebecause some areas of thebody are much more resist-ant to tanning than others,so getting rid of those whitebits may never happen.

The University of Edinburghresearchers say the resultsof a study they have under-taken explain why holiday-makers find it so hard toachieve an even tan.

The findings reveal that thebuttock is much more resist-ant to sun than other areas.But, when it does get some

colour and goes red, it stilltans less well than otherparts.

The study, published in thejournal ExperimentalDermatology, also found thatpeople with no frecklestanned far more easily.

Scientists, funded by theMedical Research Council, ranthe study to determine whydifferent types of skin can-cer were found in differentparts of the body, especiallyas they were all caused bysunshine.

The team wanted to identi-fy whether this was linked tovariations in the way differ-ent areas go brown. So theyanalysed the skin of 100 vol-unteers, exposed to six dosesof UVB radiation on twoareas: back and buttock.

After seven days, skin wastested to find what colourremained after redness died

down. This colour, seen as asuntan, comes from melanin,which stops skin fromabsorbing too much UVB.

Study leader JonathanRees, Professor ofDermatology at the universi-ty, said: “One puzzle is whytumour numbers differ somuch, depending on the site.

“Our work shows that weare made up of differentunits of skin, which responddifferently to sun and mayafford different degrees ofprotection.”

Dr Jodie Moffat, of CancerResearch UK, said: “Tanning isa sign that skin has alreadybeen damaged.”

And he was hardly quotingrocket science when headded: “For people with fairskin, freckles or moles, tan-ning is difficult without burn-ing. They should take extracare against sunburn.”

Why we get so browned offwhen it comes to a great tan

How sunshine can help youprotect against Parkinson’s

APART from beingiconic entertainers,there can’t be muchthat links the lateHarry Secombe andBoy George.

It appears, however, thatboth were rather partial tothe culinary creations ofPortuguese chef JoaoMartins.

Having spent many years aschef proprietor of a popularDevon eatery, Joao and hiswife, Mandy, made the decisionto relocate to Tenerife in 2006.

Nearly five years on and thecouple’s restaurant, Carlos,continues to thrive, with resi-dents and tourists alike flock-ing to experience some of thebest international cuisine to befound in the South.

I have had the pleasure of

eating at Carlos on a numberof occasions. However, havingheard through the grapevinethat the restaurant’s spaciousoutside terrace had recentlyundergone a major refurbish-ment, I thought it only polite topay another visit.

Carlos is ideally-located underClub Atlantis, a stone’s throwfrom the popular Puerto Colónbeach.

Walking on to the terrace, Iwas amazed at the transfor-mation. A stunning Bedouin-style canopy in soft terracottatones covers the entire area.

And four huge ceiling lights,whose handsomely-styled, cut-out metalwork recalls thebeautiful hand-wrought lampsof a Moroccan marketplace,cast a warm glow over the din-ers.

Flowering shrubs and plants,and the tinkling of a fountain,

further help create theimpression of an oasis of tran-quillity.

Carlos is very much a familybusiness. Mandy Martins headsthe friendly and efficient teamof waiting staff, and eventeenage son Luke has nowbeen drafted in to help behindthe scenes.

Nibbling on some deliciousPrawn and Beetroot Crostini,and sipping a glass of chilledrosé wine, we perused themenu.

Given that Joao was born andraised in Madeira, his signaturedishes, as you would expect,include some traditionalPortuguese fare.

The menu also features aninventive medley of Italian,French and Far Eastern influ-ences, from Tagliatelle withSalmon and Prawns through toThai Green Curry.

A good selection of meats,including steaks and NewZealand lamb, should satisfythe carnivores, while fresh fishis a particular speciality of thehouse.

Vegetarians are certainly notoverlooked, with a selection ofstarters including Breaded Brie,served with Fruits of theForest Dip, and mains such asMushroom and Vegetables inBrandy and Cream Sauce,served with Rice. Daily specialscomplete this unparalleledoffering.

Accompanying this fare is agood wine list, catering for alltastes and budgets. Pricesstart from 12 euros for thehouse selection, rising to 60euros for a bottle of Moët etChandon Champagne. I canalso recommend Mandy’shome-made Sangria, but withone caveat: it packs quite apunch!

Back to our dinner, andalthough Melon with SpanishCured Ham Drizzled with OliveOil sounded tempting, I decid-ed to opt for one of Carlos’more unusual starters,

Stuffed Peaches filled withChicken. Topped off withmelted cheese these melt-in-the-mouth creations certainlydidn’t disappoint.

My partner, meanwhile, in anod to Joao’s culinary roots,went for the Prawns Piri Piri.This is apparently one of therestaurant’s most popularstarters, and it’s not hard tosee why.

The combination of tenderprawns in a sauce of tomatoes,cream, mushrooms, onions andchilli that was spicy withoutbeing overpowering, was deli-cious.

For my main course, I tookMandy’s advice and chose theEspedata de Madeira, a tradi-tional dish of succulent beefkebab, hanging on a skewerdripping with garlic butter.

The other half, meanwhile,plumped for Fish Portuguese,tender white fillets, toppedwith tomatoes, garlic, whitewine, cream, prawns andmushrooms. He was amazedat how moist the fish was - somuch so that he sought outJoao to commend him per-sonally!

Our host revealed that the

secret was in the preparation,with all the fish on the menugrilled in lemon and butterrather than on the plancha.

All main courses, unless oth-erwise stated, are served withchef’s potatoes and a selectionof vegetables, and we finishedour meal pleasantly sated.

Full as we were, it would havebeen churlish to refusedessert. While my partnerwent for some light-as-a-

feather, home-made cheese-cake, I decided to show someadmirable restraint by orderingthe fruit kebab!

By now the restaurant wasfull, both on the terrace and inthe beautifully-designed interi-or, complete with its high endbut comfortable furnishings,subtle decorations and softlighting.

There were a number offamilies enjoying both the foodand the surroundings. Childrenare well catered for at Carlos,with a range of special menusstarting from just five euros. Inaddition, many of the maindishes can be served in smallportions.

Not surprisingly, Carlos isbusy 12 months of the year,with Christmas Day lunch and aNew Year’s Gala Dinner particu-larly lively affairs, so reserva-tions are always advisable. Aswe left this charming establish-ment, we couldn’t help but feelthat Devon’s loss has been verymuch Tenerife’s gain!

Located on Av Colón, CC ClubAtlantis, San Eugenio, PuertoColón, Carlos opens fromMonday to Saturday, 6pm untillate. For reservations call 922712 257 or 634 703 133.

Virgo Aug-24-Sept-23 Try not to let a newface intimidate youwith his or her differ-

ent approach to a problem you havebeen facing. Confidence is everything ifyou are to ever prove to yourself thatyou can succeed, both socially and pro-fessionally. Aries and Leos offer aninstant attraction. You’ll be able to sortout those financial issues shortly.

Libra Sept 24-Oct 23You will have to givea loved one thespace he or sheneeds if you are to

ever obtain that harmony you are seek-ing. We all have our funny ways and ourfaults, Libra, and it would be as wrongfor you to restrict them as it would forthem to confine you. Your main prob-lem is that you can’t get that ex offyour mind.

Scorpio Oct 24-Nov 2You’re likely to findyourself shying awayfrom group arrange-ments, and planning

private time to sort out what you’regoing to do about the personalquandary that has evolved. It may be inyour best interests to talk to the per-son concerned, who’s sure to be able toprovide you with any answers you’relooking for.

Sagittarius Nov 23-Dec 21It’s the abode that isgoing to be demand-ing both your atten-

tion and your cash, and manySagittarians will be preparing for excit-

ing visitors. Romance is forecast for theweekend and you must prepare your-self to hear declarations of love fromsomeone who has been acting ratherdistant recently. All in all, this couldturn out to be a very dramatic week foryou.

Capricorn Dec 22-Jan 20You must sort outwhat you can affordto spend, as a party

spirit the planets are casting will seeyou spending anything you have. Don’ttake out money from the bank whichyou know is not spare because other-wise, you will take the enjoyment out ofwhat should be an enjoyableweek. Believe it or not, it well worthputting in some “overtime” this week, athome or at work.

Aquarius Jan 21-Feb19The need to findout how good youare in your career

may see you doing something otherswill deem reckless. Make sure thatwhat you are doing is really in yourbest interests and not just to irritate aloved one, who is watching your everymove. This game-playing can do youno good, so start playing seriouslyright now.

Pisces Feb 20-Mar 2Plans will be laid thatwill make way for abetter and, indeed,more secure future.

Don’t be afraid to listen to the advice ofa younger face, who may have moreexperience than you realise. Late-nightinvitations have trouble written all over

them on Sunday, so proceed with cau-tion, if at all.

Aries Mar 21-April20There comes a timein everybody’s lifewhen he or she has

to be selfish in order to be able togive. This is your time to do what’s rightfor you, and to forget what everybodyelse wants. The decisions you make nowwill pave the way for a better future foryou and your close ones, so don’t holdback. Your hidden dreams are beckon-ing.

Taurus April 21-May21Please take a littletime to sort out theproblem which has

been building up with your finances.The way to get out of trouble is not toignore it but deal with it. A flirtatiousmood at the weekend could see youplaying with fire because a person whois spoken for decides to play games withyour emotions. Watch out, and don’t doanything rash.

Gemini May 22-June21New faces you areabout to meet willbring out a side of

you which you’d forgotten existed. Infact, the laid-back mood you will almostcertainly experience should also make itpossible for you to make up with some-one you have drifted away from in thefamily. Uranus promises important mes-sages in dreams.

Cancer June 22-July23It’s important thatyou watch out forarguments as the

planets make you see fault with themost trivial of problems. A laid-backapproach is essential if you’re to getthe most from the comingdays. Someone from your past is tryingto get back in contact with you, andmay not have your best interests atheart, so stay alert. Oh yes, you have anew admirer.

HONDA have beenforced to end UK salesof their Civic Type-Rhot hatch because ofnew Euro emissionslaws set to beimposed.

Production of the Europeanmarket 2.0-litre performanceicon will end in Octoberbecause the 2.0-litre enginecannot meet Euro 5 exhaustregulations.

But it is not quite the end ofthe Civic Type-R, though,because countries such asAustralia and South Africahave lower emissions stan-

dards. That means productionat the UK Swindon plant willcontinue for those countries.

Honda will help mark theend of the famous Type-R ata special Silverstone festivalthis Sunday (22nd), which willbe attended by BTCC driversMatt Neal and GordonShedden.

It will give all Type-R driversthe chance to do a lap of hon-our around the British grandprix Formula One circuit.

More than 12,000 of thecurrent-shape Type-R havebeen sold in the UK since2007, and a few more will beadded to that number beforesales end in December.

DIESEL-ENGINED Minishave, traditionally,always been rathernoisy and lacking thatspecial response ofpetrol power.

Fear not, Mini lovers,because salvation is at hand inthe shape of the ConvertibleCooper D, which unloads theold Peugeot-Citroën dervburner for a new 1.6-litreturbo-diesel, sourced fromparent company BMW.

It’s baffling to think whyMini didn’t just do this in thefirst place, but they have nowand the difference is out-standing.

The diesel Convertible hasthe more powerful 112hpCooper D engine option only,although a lesser 90hp One Dis also available in the Hatchand Clubman.

The arrival of these newdiesels completes an updatedrange that started earlier thisyear with upgraded petrolengines.

The new BMW-sourcedengine still sounds diesel,

obviously, and especially ifyou have the roof downaround town.

Get it up to motorwayspeeds, though, and you’lldrown the slight diesel rasp)right out with wind noise.Either way, you simply won’tcare the moment you putyour foot down!

Compared with previous

diesel Minis, this new engine isa revelation. Throttleresponse, aided by the vari-able geometry turbocharger,is much snappier - evenbefore you resort to hittingthe Sport button.

The lighter Cooper D hatchcan hit 62mph in 9.7 secondsagainst the Convertible’s10.3secs. But with more peak

torque than the turbo-petrolCooper S, either version hasplenty of poke on the move.

Without doubt, the Mini isthe most fun motor to drivein the premium small-car sec-tor. Yes, the Citroën DS3 runsit close, and there are somenon-premium hot hatchesthat may be better overall.But if you’re looking for fun

and glamour, this Convertiblehas them both.

Helped by its all-aluminiumconstruction, which keeps theweight down, it feels muchflightier, and even the ridequality has improved.

There’s still no cure for thecramped rear legroom, butalongside the exterior update- including new bumpers andupgraded lights, plus revisedgrilles and side vents, depend-ing on the model - Mini hasalso mildly modified the interi-or.

Extra black-finish trimmingsare neat, there are new tog-gle switches for the climatecontrol, and the radio con-trols have been relocated towithin the central speedo.

More interesting is the newMini Connected in-car info-tainment system. This isinspired by BMW,sConnectedDrive, but includesfeatures that even big broth-er BMW doesn’t get yet,

focused on iPhone integra-tion.

Another result for the newdiesel engine: the regular Minihatchback is down to just99g/km CO2 and up to aremarkable 74.3mpg.Standard Auto Start Stop andother “Minimalist” technologyhelps here.

That’s for both One D andCooper D versions as well. TheClubman and the Convertiblecan’t quite match thisachievement, returning103g/km and 105g/km,respectively.

But that is still equal to70.6mpg for the drop-top,which is a genuinely impres-sive result and reaffirms,Mini’s position as the leadingpremium eco contender.

The Convertible costs£17,925 (21,909 euros), whichrepresents good value formoney and should be availablefrom September, or Octoberat the latest.

Great darts from Bill andTim mean that the Nuttershave set their stall out for therest of the season. Long-timeleaders Barracudarts boys slipdown to second, althoughthey earned five valuablepoints at Rood B.

Tavern, but then the wheelscame off and they crashed 6-2 - their second straight loss.

The Naturals move up oneplace after a useful 5-3 suc-cess at the Hunters, andTenerife Sun did like-wise asthey beat La Cana Lancers bythe same score.

Knights B made it threewins on the trot as they over-came the Flames 6-2, andWoodys B enjoyed a greatgame at Nauta B and had Joeltaking out 108 with a bull fin-ish. Alas, it was not enough asthe home side scraped a 5-3victory.

Understanding the Law

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRIEmail: [email protected]


20 August 2010 - 26 August 2010

I HAVE been asked theabove question by anumber of clients andit really does needsorting out.

Nowadays, there are manyfines going around for differ-ent reasons, and we need toknow what our rights are. Iinclude a small general guidewhich does not replace a legaladvice.

Remember that every caseis different, and its circum-stances make the caseunique. I always recommendthat you ask for professionaladvice.

If the Inland Revenue Office(Hacienda) has fined you forany irregularity (according toHacienda’s view) the firstthing to do is to discover rea-son of the purported penaltyand its circumstances. Afteranalysing this there are twooptions:

1) Accept the penalty andpay

2) Object to the penaltybecause you do not agreewith this fine

If you consider that you areliable and your behaviour wasnot correct, the best solutionis to accept the fine and pay.There would be a benefit of25% rebate on the fine. Thereis a possibility of payments ininstalments if the InlandRevenue Office accepts it.

On the other hand, you canquery the fine. If you considerthat the Inland RevenueOffice is not right, or that thepenalty is unfair, you canpresent an “appeal”.

There are normally two kindsof appeals, and you can chooseone of them: A) “Recurso deReposición” (revision of deci-sion by the same authority),and B) “ReclamaciónEconomico Administrativa”(revision of decision by a higherauthority).

A) RECURSO: The “Recursode Reposición” is presentedbefore the same body thatfined you in order to recon-sider the decision. Normally,this “recurso” does not have a

happy outcome because thesame person who fined youwould not want to change hismind easily.

However, there are manycases in which the bodyreconsidered and acceptedthe “recurso”. It can be pre-sented within one monthfrom notification of penalty.

B) RECLAMACIÓN: The“Reclamación EconómicoAdministrativa” is presentedbefore “Tribunal EconomicoAdministrativo” who is a high-er authority. This “recla-mación” can be presentedalter the decision taken in“recurso de reposición”. In anycase, you can go direct to“reclamación” without previ-ous “reposición”.

You are not allowed to pres-ent both appeals at the sametime. It can be presentedwithin one month from notifi-cation of penalty.

In either case, the penalty(“SANCIÓN”) is not paid orguaranteed until the appeals

(“recurso” or “reclamacion”)are finalised. There would beno delay interests.Sometimes, these kind ofappeals are use to delay thepayment of sanctions.

Note that this article refersto penalties (“SANCIONES”)and not to the tax debt(“DEUDA TRIBUTARIA”). The“deuda tributaria” can beappealed (like penalties). In themeantime, however, the summust be paid or guaranteed.

If you do not pay or guaran-tee the sum, the Authoritycan attach (“embargo”) yourassets. In other words, toappeal the deuda tributaria,you have to pay or guaranteeand appeal. If you later suc-ceed in your recurso or recla-mación, the Authority willrefund the money, or theguarantee is cancelled.

If you do not succeed with“Reclamación EconomicoAdministrativa” the next stepis to present a “RecursoContencioso-Administrativo”

before the AdministrativeCourt. The “TribunalEconómico-Administrativo” isa government body of theMinistry of Economy. TheAdministrative Court belongsto Judicial Power and it isindependent.

Where I can get a copy ofthe Canarian Swimming PoolRegulations in English? I amhaving a problem with thecommunity on my complex, Ihave a ground-floor apart-ment, level with the swim-ming pool deck, and my bal-cony rail is 1.4 metres high.The community want to erecta 1.5m glass wall 500mmaway from my balcony rail,which would completelyenclose my apartment.

You can find informationabout swimming pool regula-tions in the CanaryGovernment web:http://www2.gobiernodeca-narias.org (although I do notbelieve there is an English ver-sion of it).

In any case, I understandthat your case, more thanbeing connected to the swim-ming pool issue, concerns theworks to be carried out bythe Community. In otherwords, you have to deter-mine whether the works tobe done are necessary (orcompulsory) to theCommunity. And even if theyare necessary, the worksshould not affect the privateproperty (or should at leastminimise the effect). I include apartial translation of some arti-cles of Horizontal Division Law(articles 10 and 11) that couldbe helpful:

The Community will beenforced to carry out neces-sary works for the property

and its services proper main-tenance and conservation, sothat it should fulfil all duestructural, habitability andsafety condition.

Proprietors who are unjustifi-ably opposed or delayed in theexecution of the orders, whichhave been enacted by compe-tent authority, will be individu-ally responsible for the sanc-tions, which could be imposedby administrative action.

In case of disagreement onthe nature of the works to becarried out, the ProprietorsBoard will decide what is rea-sonable and appropriate.Interested parties will also beable to request an arbitraryor technical judgement in theterms settled down by Law.

None of the proprietors willbe able to demand new facili-ties, services or improve-ments that are not requiredfor the proper communitymaintenance, habitability andsafety, according to itsnature and features.

What can I do if Ireceive a tax fine?
