british woman discovers dangers of holiday sex
A British woman was saved by her ankle on Saturday after falling from a landing in Tenerife whilst having sex with her husband, and getting her foot caught in the banisters below. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, when the couple were having sex in the stairwell of an apartment block in Adeje on the island of Tenerife. As she fell, the woman got one of her feet caught in the banisters a floor below, where she ended up hanging by her ankle until emergency workers could free her. According to the police report, the 49-year-old victim, identified only by the initials A. M. A. M., and her husband were having sex against the banister in the communal stairwell of the apartment block, when in a moment of frenzied abandon the woman slipped and

fell into the void. Her fall was stopped somewhat abruptly when her right ankle got caught between two bars of a banister several metres below where the amorous encounter had begun. As a result of the sudden break in her fall, the woman was left hanging upside down, stark naked, just inches from the ground whilst her husband tried to get help. Local police, national police and a crew of firefighters responded to his emergency call, with the latter getting the task of cutting through the bars of the banister to release her right leg. The woman suffered a fracture to her right ankle and was taken to the local hospital. If that had not been enough embarrassment for one night, the ambulance’s siren wasn’t working so the couple were given a police escort to the hospital.

Spain’s struggling Caja Mediterraneo (CAM), under state control since in July, posted Friday a nine-month loss of 1.73 billion euros ($2.33 billion). That compares to the net proft of 142.6 million euros which the bank reported for the same time last year. CAM also reported a non-performing loan ratio of 20.8 percent, far above the average of 7.16 percent for the entire sector in September and up from 5.2 percent during the same time last year. The Bank of Spain announced on July 22 that it would take control of the CAM through an injection of 2.8 billion euros and the opening of a 3.0 billion euro line of credit. It now plans to sell-off the ailing savings bank. The sale of CAM has been delayed until after Spain’s general elections on Sunday at potential bidders’ request, business daily Cinco Dias reported last month citing unidentified banking sources. The CAM was one of five Spanish banks that failed new European stress tests on
July 15 to see if they can survive a major crisis. Spain’s lenders, especially its regional savings banks which account for about half of all lending in the country, have been heavily exposed to bad debt since the collapse of the property sector at the end of 2008. They are at the heart of market fears that Spain will follow Greece, Ireland and Portugal in asking for an international bailout. The government and Bank of Spain have forced a wave of consolidation in the sector this year and are requiring banks to quickly increase the proportion of core capital they hold to above international norms. CAM, based in the eastern coastal region of Alicante which was one of the worst hit by the bursting of the property bubble, had been set to merge with three other savings banks but the deal fell through earlier this year.

the turbulent island of El Hierro in the Canaries. According to the National Geographical Institute (IGN), these earth movements took place on Saturday morning between midnight and around lunchtime. None of them exceeded 2.8 on the Richter scale, which is just enough to be felt but not to cause damage. All of these were found to have their epicentre in the village of Frontera and occurred at a depth of 16 to 22 kilometres below the
surface. The strongest earthquake occurred at 09.20hrs on Saturday morning and measured 2.8 on the Richter scale, whilst the others were mainly in the early hours of the morning with two at 1.9, and three more at 1.6, 2.4 and 2.7. A spokesperson from the IGN said that on Thursday there was an ‘abrupt and noticeable’ drop in the volcanic energy from the ongoing subaquatic eruption off the coast of the island.
