Is it really October already?
The website is becoming a hive of activity as well recently, as we are now placing more content online than in our magazine... You may notice the odd square barcode on the front cover? If you have an iPad or iPhone together with the right app, you can scan the cover and be taken directly to our web page. If not just type it in www.Gibeasy.com. Technology these days never ceases to amaze me! Well enjoy October, enjoy Halloween and remember, it’s not really that bad...

We continue with our series of Gib Geeks computer advice, this time its all about clouds, well it is nearly winter, but I think these clouds are different. Soon to be Dr Karl Alvarez writes about arthritis, it’s a bit of a sore subject, but it’s good to understand more about it.

Let spare you all the doom and gloom and focus on the plus side. It’s October and with that comes ghouls, ghosts and x factor stars in this edition... We had the great pleasure of meeting and spending time with John Adeleye last month when he came over for his charity concert for Wobbles. Check out the interview on page 15, or read it in full on our website.

Q; What is "Cloud compu ting" and how can It be useful to me.
Not an easy question to answer quickly, but lets give it a go.
Cloud computing suppliers give you applications or programs based in the internet, which you can access through the internet from your web browser (i.e Firefox or Internet Explorer etc), while the actual business software and data are stored on remote servers. A good example of this might be the way you access your Hotmail or Gmail accounts from a web browser, rather than downloading emails to a client such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird etc. The software running Gmail or Hotmail is based in the cloud, and only available whilst you have an active internet connection, however if you wished, you could purchase Microsoft Office and then have the facility to view your emails on your computer when you are disconnected from the internet and offline. Obviously it’s much cheaper to simply use Gmail or Hotmail through a web browser rather than purchasing additional software, but as I’m sure you can tell there are major pro’s and cons for cloud computing. Business’s might wish to use Cloud computing to save money, by increasing their servers and storage space, using service providers such as Amazon Web Services, in this way a business could avoid purchasing expensive server hardware (and hiring the staff to manage it) and run their company software entirely through web based applications. Typically Cloud computing is not cheap, however there are a lot of software programs based in the cloud which are entirely free to use. Free Online Storage:- Windows Skydrive SkyDrive is a Microsoft’s cloud storage offering. This is a great option if you have lots of small files to share. By small, I mean 50MB file size max. By lots... I mean 25GB.There is no built in shell extension, but you can (on Windows, anyway) install SkyDrive Explorer to handle that. It works pretty well, and can apparently bypass the file size limit with the pro version. Amazon Cloud Drive With 5GB of free storage, Amazon’s very own cloud storage option, is a cheaper alternative, you can have a look at the detailed comparison of Dropbox vs. Amazon Cloud Drive. It is noteworthy to mention that songs purchased from Amazon Music store are saved directly to your Amazon Cloud Drive, moreover it doesn’t consume your storage limit...

Zombies never seem to go out of style, no more so than in the world of video games; not content with their own stand alone titles, they’ve lumbered their way into Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption. The trend shows no sign of stopping with the release of Deep Silver’s Dead Island available now for PC, PS3 and 360. You’ve taken on the living dead in dark mansions, laboratories, parks, hospitals... why not an island? Yes, the primary selling point is “It’s on an island” and for what it’s worth it’s one beautiful looking island, set just off the coast of Papua New Guinea, rather then the usual foggy night landscape. You’re treated to a sunny white sand beach and resort, which makes the horror all the more jarring when you come across scenes like the resort pool stained red with blood. Plenty of people are going to compare the game to Dead Rising because you can create and customise weapons, or Left 4 Dead because it’s played in first person perspective and there’s a 4 player online co-op. But if you can get past the obtuse opening and the sketchy cut scenes you’ll find a world full of quests, interesting environments and a character progression system that will have you begging for more hours in the day. First, you must pick your character to determine your weapon of choice; you can fling, smash, slice or shoot your decomposing targets, as well as level up and further tweak your skills. The game made me my character. I chose the weapons, the enemies to attack, and the side quests to take. When I levelled up, I chose in which skill tree to invest my new point in. So even if you joined my game as the same “knives expert” I play as, we wouldn’t necessarily have the same abilities. Dead Island isn’t without its flaws; first person combat is tough to get used to. There’s the occasional character clipping through the walls, and the story doesn’t exactly set your hair on fire. In fact, it’s pretty much every zombie cliché you’ve ever heard right down to the obligatory “escape before the military sets off the nuke” ending. Though, all things considered, the presentation doesn’t make the game, experiences do, and there’s plenty to be had with Dead Island. pg 12

Arthritis Part 1 Rheumatoid Arthritis There are few certainties in life, but one of them is that we age. Although this has the benefit of growing wiser, our bodies are left to carry the scars of the life we have led, and for most of us this will present as joint pain. We all know someone who has or is suffering with “wear and tear” or, as it is medically known, arthritis. But what is arthritis? The word comes from the Greek arthro (joint) and itis (inflammation). It describes a number of different joint pathologies which present with varying degrees of joint pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of function. Indeed over 100 different types of arthritis exist ranging from those affecting just 1 joint (monoarthritis) e.g. gout; to those affecting multiple joints (polyarthritis) e.g. rheumatoid arthritis. The causes of arthritis are equally varied and include trauma, infection and autoimmune disease (i.e. where the body’s own immune system begins to attack itself). In this two-part instalment I shall focus on the two most common forms of arthritis: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. It is characterised by a symmetrical deforming of peripheral joints, most commonly the small joints of the hands, wrists and feet, but also knees and elbows amongst others. The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown; however, the synovial membrane (a sac that encapsulates most joints) becomes thickened by increased blood flow to the joint and white blood cell infiltration. As the disease progresses, cartilage becomes damaged and eroded, eventually destroying the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis may appear in patients of all ages but most commonly presents in the 4th-5th decades of life. Women are affected 2-3 times more than men. Smokers are at increased risk of suffering from the disease. The main symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (as with most arthritidies) are pain and swelling which usually begin together and symmetrically. The most common first complaint is of swollen and stiff fingers. Symptoms are normally worse in the mornings with affected individuals complaining of early morning stiffness. Later, with progressive joint damage symptoms worsen, and individuals develop characteristic joint deformities which may be severe and disabling. The systemic nature of the disease means that individuals may also present with a number of non-joint related problems. These are numerous ranging from simple benign nodules on elbows and lungs, to severe lung and heart complications such as fibrosing alveolitis, obliterative bronchiolitis, and pleural and cardiac effusions. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common and debilitating disease. However, many of us need never worry about it. Next month I will discuss the form of arthritis that most of us will experience to some degree as we get older. It is the condition that doctors allude to when they speak of “wear and tear”; osteoarthritis. Karl Alvarez, Final Year Medical Student , University of Southampton. pg 14

Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
After having interviewed Momy Levy and Fabian Picardo it was about time we interviewed someone you were all interested in reading about. A star, an X Factor star… a singer, song writer and to be honest… a genuinely nice guy… John Adelaye who came to Gibraltar recently for Wobbles Charity and played in Ocean Village gave us a little of his time to interview him in true Gib Easy fashion…
Ten years from now… ERM… 2.4 children, little house on the prairie… the Brady bunch, the Adeleye bunch… Laughs No, musically career wise, X Factor was so good, it brought me back to where I want to be again, and I can push off again and do another 10 year stint. I still have a lot to learn and I wanna keep pushing forward. I wanna get back to acting, no one knows I did that, don’t tell anyone… Take the entertainment and channel it in the right arenas…HOW ABOUT WORLD DOMINATION… Yeah but everyone’s done that… I just want as much of the world that likes what I like to get the chance to say they like it.
Prior to the X Factor, you were working as an activities coordinator at a care home, I guess things like charity and care are something that you feel quite strongly about. So being here in Gibraltar for the Wobbles charity, how did that come about? It was mainly through Frankie, who is a DJ out here, he has his own radio show and Surianne who are just good people. I have my own charity as well and I thought why not come out here for a good cause.

Is there any other charity work that you do? The first thing we did, I had to do something quick and smart and make sure that people realize that this is what I am about, so I got involved with a charity called Project Waterfall, Alegra foundation in partnership with Wateraid, trying to get clean water to a small district in Tanzania, Africa. It’s really important, it’s water, its so basic, you want to get home, cup of tea, shower, glass of water… it’s so basic and these guys don’t have it. So we made a song, a charity song which is called Coming Home, it’s available on itunes. There are two.. no wait, three remixes… A version for everybody, a hard stonking dance remix and add a bit of groove to the song.

As part of CTS’ continued growth as Gibraltar’s alternative telecoms provider, we are pleased to announce the takeover of EasyCall’s 889 & EasyLine services effective today. The 889 service will now form part of the portfolio of products from CTS that encompass fixed line, mobile and internet access, all of which offer considerable savings when compared to our competitors. CTS currently offers a variety of local & international call plans and mobile packages that provide significant savings to residential and business customers alike. The 889 service will compliment CTS’ existing 881 residential service as well as our 882 & 883 business services. CTS also offers other fixed price plans on both landlines and mobiles, and these are available throughout Gibraltar. CTS Mobile has full coverage of Gibraltar and the surrounding area, and has roaming in Spain, The UK, and about 150 countries worldwide, for both pre-paid and post-paid subscribers. Existing subscribers also benefit from the fact that international calls are often cheaper from a CTS mobile than a local landline! We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all EasyCall customers to CTS. For more information, please contact CTS on 21651500, or visit us in Ocean Village.

George Benson on stage, Dianna Ross right in front of me, these are some of the things that came off the back of me being successful, touring with Jamelia, she’s a good looker and a great singer. I have been on stages with so many people that I have met and slowly getting to know people all through what I did. After a while, I got disillusioned with the industry, I didn’t get into it for the fortune and the fame, literally I just wanted to enjoy it and write music, play the stages and eventually managed to achieve my goals within that.
