Carnivals say goodbye.
Carnivals are ending in most of
Tenerife, especially in towns like
Puerto de la Cruz or Los Realejos.
This year almost 5 million people
meet in the burial of the sardine
which this year took three sardines.
This year highlighted the fashion
show where some women paraded
as ‘’Mis Mojo Picon’’ or ‘’Miss Carne
Fiesta’’. In Puerto de la Cruz, they
have already burned sardines while
Los Realejos have buried Mr.
Rascayú. Tenerife has already
chosen it’s Carnival’s queen, a
woman called Noemi Cabrera won
the competition with a golden and
white dress. She wore the fantasy
‘’100 years of history’’. Next
weekend is the last chance to enjoy
carnivals in Santa Cruz, are you

Carlos Morín accused for
115 illegal abortions.
The doctor and his wife were
accused for many cases of illegal
abortions. In this act participated a
lot of anaesthetists, gynaecologists
and psychiatrists, also many of them
did not have any type of degree.
Carlos Morín is accused of carrying
on abortions in women with more
than 14 weeks of pregnancies. This
act was forbidden in 2006. Also to
prevent being discovered, he used a
machine to get rid of the small
babies to destroy any poof.

Smoking ban. Do you agree?
On January, the new smoking ban
was accepted. This ban prohibits
smoking in public places. If some
smoker smokes in an indoor place,
he will be punished and the
premises where he smokes too, for
that if you see somebody smoking in
a bar or restaurant... you can
denounce it because this law is to
protect the non-smokers rights. The
smokers only can do it in an open
air or places with 2 walls only. And
hotels must have some smoking
rooms but those rooms should be
always the same.
On the one hand, this law was
accepted for all non-smokers
because on this way they can go out
and they don’t have to leave one
place because someone is smoking.
On the other hand, all the smokers
are against this law because they
believe they are free to smoke
anywhere. In which position are
you?

Congratulations:
The King of Spain, Juan Carlos,
congratulated the Christmas Eve
and the Christmas to all the Spanish
people. The king said that this year,
2010, had been a perfect year in
sports (the Spanish National Team
won the world cup, Rafa Nadal is
the number 1, Pau Gasol won the
second consecutive NBA ring, the
motorbike with Jorge Lorenzo, Toni
Elías, Marc Marquez… ). The king
also spoke about the severe
economic crisis in Spain.
Saúl Peña.
The speed limit in Spain.
This limit has changed, on 7th
march 2011, the government has
planned to change the speed limit
to save energy and decrease the
emissions of CO2, this month we
will see some signs in the motorway,
which are going to say: ‘’Don’t
overtake the 110 kilometer hour.
This decision is valid until the 30th
June but it can be postponed more
time because the oil crisis is can
harm Spanish economy. People
say that it is an excuse to earn
money. Now we are one of the
countries with the lowest speed limit
David Fraga.
Our opinion.
We think there are two important
news this term: the new smoking
ban, because everybody talks about
it. It is a law which is good for
people who don't smoke or have
breathe problems although there are
a lot of people who think it’s not
good because they think they should
smoke wherever they want and
they're protesting because of that.
The other important news is the
speed limit in Spain. Now we're the
European country with lowest speed
in our motorways. The government
has said that they approved this law
because we need to reduce our
CO2 emissions. Most of the country
is complaining because they want
the maximum speed to be 120 km/h
again.

The fans are turning to the Dial
Awards:
The fifth edition of the Cadena Dial
Awards in 2011, turn Tenerife in the
European capital of Latin music.
Thousands of people crowded the
surrounding area of the Auditorium
of Tenerife, Adán Martin, to see the
arrival of the 22 artists who received
Cadena Dial Awards.
The fans were felt from early
afternoon and did not stop
screaming the names of their idols.
Especially acclaimed were Ricky
Martin, Juanes and Bustamante,
who squandered sympathy and did
not hesitate to greet the public, like
Manolo García, who was very
devoted. One by one, winners and
guests were occupying their places
at a gala in which Dani Martin
especially shone, one of the most
cheered, which closed last night with
a mini gala. Juan Luis Guerra, one
of the last to arrive, was happy at
the concert given in Tenerife in
June. The Canarian Rosana, always
close, signed autographs and the
lucky ones took pictures with her.

Willem Dafoe, star of the Film
Festival of Las Palmas de Gran

The actor Willem Dafoe will be the
star in the opening of the
International Film Festival of Las

will be held between 1 and 9 April. It
was announced today by the festival
director, Claudio Utrera, who
highlighted the figure of Dafoe, one
of the most charismatic actors on
the big screen and two-time Oscar
nominee, who will attend the festival
on April 1st with his wife.
Willem Dafoe is an American film
and theater actor and has been
nominated twice for Academy Award
for Best Supporting Actor. He had
roles in such films as The Last
Temptation of Christ, Wild at Heart,
The Boondock Saints, Inside Man,
Spider-Man, The Aviator, Antichrist,

Yesterday it was celebrated the 83

been: The King's Speech. This film
won 4 out of 12 awards, including
Actor in a Leading Role, Directing,
Best Picture and Writing (Original

favourite film “the social network”.
Another winner in that night was the
recent film “Black Swan” which won
the Actress in a Leading Role
award.

Javier Bardem didn’t have a lucky

Opinion Article
In our opinion, this term has been a
good term talking about cultural
information, and not only about
international issues, we are talking
about national themes too. For
example, international important
news about culture is the Oscar’s
awards and important news about
national culture is the Cadena Dial’
awards in Tenerife, or William Dafoe
in a film festival in Las Palmas.
These things turn The Canary
Islands in remarkable islands, and
not in common islands. And we are
still working to go on growing,
because Canary Islands, in numbers
are seven, but in our heart we are

We hope next term will be even

This is fantastic news. A team from
Harvard University and MIT has created
a scanner with a price of $ 200 that can
detect cancer in just 1 hour.
This portable device uses antibodies

needle. The results are processed by a
smart phone, such as the iPhone, using
an application and just in one hour you
will know if you have cancer or not.
