Don’t worry, it’s not a spelling mistake. Movember is a charity to support and raise awareness of prostate cancer in men. Throughout the month of Movember, participants have to grow and keep a moustache! It’s a great way to “change the face of men’s health”. We’re supporting the cause, you should too!

October has been a busy month. We are fast approaching Christmas, we have had Diwali (the Hindu new year), Gibraltar Day in London and preparations are well under way for the most important event of the month to come… Movember!

Handy tips your pc and
for mac
Hi and welcome back to the Geeks corner. This month I thought I would concentrate on some problems I recently had. I am fairly new to all things Apple, so have been enjoying using my shiny new iPad, however being a lifelong PC user I had already built up a substantial collection of films and music video’s which I now needed import into iTunes to sync into the iPad. Music turned out to be not so hard, as iTunes will attempt to convert various formats to it’s own proprietary format, however films appeared to be installed (i.e. showing in my iTunes Library) but were never syncing. The problem was caused because iTunes likes films or movies to be either in an mp4 or .mov format and my films had all been created in .avi. Files (movies / videos) which have a .mov extension and are the default multimedia format often used for saving movies and other video files; using a compression algorithm developed by Apple Computer; compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms. In short I needed a solution, I searched and found lots of ways to convert my films but the software was usually a trial version or left advertising marks on the converted films. Enter “Handbrake” it’s open source which basically means it’s free, and has a really simple to use interface or GUI (Graphical User Interface). It will convert films for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. Once downloaded and running you simply select “Source” and point it to the file or folder the films are in, wait whilst it analyses the file, on the right you then select the required device / format (in my case iPad), ensure you remember the output destination, then click on “Go”. Whenever you convert a file it always takes a bit of time, and you can monitor this in “Handbrake” on the bottom of the program window bottom left hand side. Once it’s completed converting you simply import your new iPad friendly file into iTunes to sync www.GibGeeks.com at your leisure...

Survival horror has not fared well in the current console generation; I don’t know if it’s the HD which shows you the sadistic grin on the monster’s face from two miles away, or the developing assumption that you can slap a horror title on anything with gore and the occasional thing that pops out and goes “Boo”. It seems the only recourse is to dive into the retro library and look to the ones which got it right. Fortunately developers Konami are helping this archaeological expedition with the anticipated Silent Hill HD Collection, featuring a re-mastered Silent Hill 2 and 3. The first game is not included, since it featured on the PS1, a console so out of date that the only possible use for the discs would be a cheap alternative to a Frisbee. The games are set in the fictional town of Silent Hill, which plays the role of setting and primary antagonist. The town is haunted for nonspecific reasons and has the occasional quirk of shifting into a hellish landscape of blood and rusty metal. And even the “normal” town is obscured by thick fog. Threats aren’t visible until they’re close enough to perform emergency dental work, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what may be around the next corner Looking from a cold, critical standpoint the gameplay of silent hill is awful; the camera swings around enough to make you seasick and combat feels like pulling your own teeth out but the characters are respectively a clerk and a teenage girl. So they aren’t really supposed to be combat powerhouses, and the fact that you’re hard-pressed to defend yourself really emphasizes the survival aspect. Where Silent Hill really shines is atmosphere, it is not the noisy cacophony of howling mutants and chainsaws; this is the oppressive crushing dread of being truly alone. Most of the time the town seems devoid of life, even the enemies seem like windup toys rather then living things and the few humans you do find behave in subtly strange ways as if they’re not seeing the same things you are. Every aspect of the game’s design has been thought out meticulously, from visuals to sound and it shines as a horror title that’ll leave your nerves frayed and stay with you for days after you put down the controller.

At both the lunch reception for 350 financiers and the evening reception at the Guildhall, the Chief Minister listed among Gibraltar’s recent additions, the new airport which will be inaugurated ‘in a few weeks time”. His only clue as to both its opening and the date he will call the election, which is rumoured among the population to be after this event.

This annual event, to showcase and strengthen partnerships with politicians, investors and bankers, is also a way for the Chief Minister to tell the UK Government, through the ears this year of David Liddington MP, Minister for Europe, just what he thinks and to get verbal confirmation from them that they won’t sell us down the river, ever.

Arthritis Part 2 - Osetoarthritis
Last month I introduced the subject of arthritis, discussing rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic systemic debilitating disease. This month I shall discuss the most common joint condition of all – Osteoarthritis – also referred to as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease or “wear and tear”. Osteoarthritis usually presents in individuals over 50 years of age and appears to affect women 3 times more than men, and can be classified as either primary or secondary. Primary disease is related to, but not caused by, aging. Simply, osteoarthritis can be thought of as the result of the accumulation of years of “wear and tear” of the joint (hence the term). What actually occurs, is that as we get older the water content in the cartilage that lines the bony surfaces of our joints decreases, making the cartilage less resilient and more susceptible to degradation. With time cartilage is worn down resulting in the two opposing bones eroding into each other. Although we do not know why some individuals go through life with no clinical or functional signs of osteoarthritis, twin studies suggest there is a hereditary component to the disease. Secondary osteoarthritis refers to disease arising as a result of other conditions; this may be direct trauma to a joint, congenital disorders of a joint, or systemic conditions such as diabetes, haemochromatosis and obesity! Importantly, it should be noted that the old wives’ tales of running (in the absence of injury) and cracking one’s knuckles, as causes osteoarthritis, have not been proven. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint although it most commonly presents in the joints of the hands, feet, spine, and weight bearing joints such as hips and knees. The most common presenting complaint is pain, however, individuals also complain of crepitus (a crackling noise when the joint is moved), joint gelling (stiffness after rest) and tendon contractures. Symptoms are typically worse in cold or (more pertinent to Gibraltarians) humid weather. Collectively these symptoms result in a loss of function. Frustratingly, loss of function often results in individuals gaining weight, which exacerbates the disease resulting in a vicious circle of disease progression, worsening of symptoms, and further reduction in function and weight gain. Treatment of osteoarthritis involves a balance of lifestyle modifications (including exercise and weight loss) and analgesics, typically non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs e.g. paracetamol and ibuprofen, with or without an opioid analgesic e.g. codeine. Physiotherapy has been shown to significantly reduce pain, increase function and delay the need for surgical intervention. Individuals with severe pain not controlled by oral pain medication may be offered an intra-articular steroid injection. However, these only provide temporary relief and individuals should not be offered this treatment more than 2-3 times. Ultimately, these individuals go on to have joint replacement surgery. Many alternative therapies claim to decrease the symptoms of osteoarthritis: acupuncture, glucosamine, vitamin A, C, and E, ginger, tumeric, omega-3 fatty acids and chondritin have no proven effect in the treatment of osteoarthritis… This information should hopefully save many of us some pennies!!

These are all deep filters in our neurology and determine our model of the world and the moment we experience life conditions that go against these we feel conflict, confusion and pain. Your life’s purpose is more than a goal. It is the intention of the goal that is the purpose. It is your direction and meaning to your existence. Only when you are congruent with yourself can you truly determine the purpose of your existence.

We interview Philip Blanc, CEO of i-negotiate
Negotiating is a critical, everyday skill. Negotiation is life. Skilled negotiators deliver exceptional results, which have a clear, immediate and measurable impact on the bottom line. The good news is that world-class negotiators are trained, not born... which is how i-negotiate established itself as the global leader and true innovator in negotiation training. The company offers a wide range of negotiation support services. We turn people into skilled negotiators and organisations into more valuable businesses, bringing about behavioural and mindset change for the long term. We also represent the interests of both major corporate clients and individuals in a broad spectrum of industrial and service sectors. If our clients succeed, we succeed. What is your experience and background that has lead you to where you are today?
I am a professional negotiator with 23 years of negotiation experience in planning and executing mould breaking deals with customers, suppliers, partners, distributors, shareholders, competitors, trade-unions, the media and colleagues. This is how I grew successfully from trainee produce buyer to Commercial Director on the UK & Ireland Board of Anheuser Busch !nBev, one of the world’s top 5 consumer products companies. It is this real-world experience, and that of our team of negotiators, that we transfer to our clients during workshops, providing negotiation skills that will last a lifetime. I also conduct numerous executive programmes in both English and French throughout the world and am a visiting professor at the Gib Easy Magazine

My thoughts on this are that it’s virtually impossible to be truly congruent with your life’s purpose until you fully understand yourself, your motivations, your beliefs, your values and the way you think.
Shopping
There is a view (which I strongly agree with) that our life purpose is dependent on our values level thinking – after all our values are what give us movement and momentum towards or away from things. And our deep values are actually beyond our conscious perception –we know what our surface values are however these are realistically “ethics”. Professor Claire Graves originally gave letter pairs to determine the different levels of life conditions and the level of thinking required for a person to be successful in that environment – combined this gives us what we refer to as a value level. More recently this has been simplified (albeit with less accuracy) to a point where certain practitioners use numbers to categorise, though it’s important to clearly understand there is no correlation to intelligence or hierarchy in the different levels. The best value level is the one that works for the environment a person operates in.
London Metropolitan University and the University of Hertfordshire. Last year, I published a book (co-authored with Eric Hubler) entitled “The Equilibrist”, which addresses balance and performance in our post-crisis society. Tell us about your negotiation skills programmes? We offer 4 levels of negotiation skills development workshops (from beginner to Advanced). The Master Negotiator, our flagship programme, is widely reputed as the most advanced negotiation programme available and is individually tailored to our clients business. It is a powerful 3.5 day journey deep inside the heart and mind of The Master Negotiator. It provides delegates with an easy to use toolkit framing negotiation in a simple way and offering a multi-strategy approach to negotiation and leadership. The Master Negotiator Workshop delivers immediate and measurable results, practical, no-nonsense, immediately applicable and transformative techniques, both financially and behaviourally.

The thing is, until we actually know ourselves we cannot determine what our true life purpose is. We may have a conscious answer but do we truly know what our life purpose is?
Miscellaneous
This is a question that many people have posed to themselves, few have been able to answer it and even fewer have done anything about it!!
A person thinking in values level 2 will have a purpose relating to the family and clan, a person thinking in values level 3 will go after their purpose in life with aggression and at the expense of others, a person in values level 4 will adopt a book of rules which they think is the right and only way on their road to their purpose and someone in values level 5 will want to be achieving their life’s purpose as fast as possible and will, if necessary do this at the expense of others. Someone thinking in values level 6 will have a purpose that is ecologically friendly for society and the planet.
