Here’s how much water you should really drink in a day

Institute of Medicine recommends women consume 91 ounces of water per day (which, truthfully, isn’t that far off from the eight glasses thing). But it’s crucial that you adjust that guideline to take the rest of your lifestyle into account.

And, luckily, nature has gifted us with a few clues about when we need to drink more or less water: In general, you should be fine as long as you drink when you’re thirsty and keep your urine on the lighter side (no, it doesn’t have to be clear).

For such a simple habit, drinking water has caused us far more than its fair share of confusion. How much do you really need? And how can you make sure you’re getting enough? Well, not to burst your bubble, but you can start by forgetting that whole eight glasses thing.

As we’ve written before, that rule about drinking eight glasses of water every day isn’t actually based on scientific evidence. In fact, in 2007, the BMJ dubbed it one of the most common medical myths.

But that doesn’t mean you can forget about your daily water needs altogether. As the Mayo Clinic explains, your body loses water every day as you sweat, urinate, and breathe — and it all needs to be replaced. If it doesn’t, you’re looking at potential dehydration, which can either be annoying or pretty damn awful: On the less serious end, you might have a headache, dry mouth, and dark urine without enough water. But, as you become more dehydrated, you can develop a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, confusion, and lightheadedness.

So, yes, it’s definitely important to make sure you’re getting enough water. But the exact amount of 6 GLOBE MAGAZINE

water that we each lose and need to replenish isn’t as simple to figure out. As it turns out, that daily requirement is going to be pretty different for everyone depending on all sorts of factors. For instance, the amount of water you need to

drink every day will go up if you regularly work out, live in a warm or humid city, have been dealing with a cold, or are pregnant or nursing, says the Mayo Clinic.

As a starting point, the National

That said, it is possible to drink too much water. In rare cases (most commonly among hardcore athletes), you can drink so much water that it throws your body’s sodium levels out of balance. This condition, called hyponatremia, can be serious and even deadly. So don’t force yourself to drink more water than you really need.

Let’s also remember that drinking water doesn’t have to be a lame chore, even if you aren’t the biggest fan of plain H2O: You can get your fix in the form of sparkling water, tea, or even water-filled foods (e.g. juicy berries and fresh cucumbers).

You ‘kinda’ need water to stay alive or whatever, so maybe it’s worth figuring out a way to get what you need, eh?

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher joins the line up at this year’s Gibraltar Calling Along with his band, he plays the Main Stage on Saturday 7th September 2019

Unlike boxing, rock and roll is not renowned for great comebacks. A few missteps and then it’s usually farewell, have a good life, who are you again?

Occasionally, though, a true heavy musical champ loses a bout only to re-emerge even stronger later. David Bowie, for example, went through a

long fallow period before his renaissance. Paul Weller had a rocky few years before finding his feet as a solo artist. Now we can add a third era-defining

voice to that list of champions, who returned to reclaim their belt: Liam Gallagher.

Playing around in his own GLOBE MAGAZINE 9

idiosyncratic style on a guitar at home in London, he surprised himself by writing a song. “I am definitely not a professional at it,” he says, modestly. “It’s proper Frankenstein tackle. But I suppose everyone has their ways.

Even Paul McCartney didn’t just sit down and write ‘Hey Jude’ straight away.”

The song that he wrote was a heavy dollop of soul-rock called ‘Bold’ and strong enough to get him signed to Warner Bros.

There was something there alright. Eventually, he had a whole batch of songs written which he demoed with a multiinstrumentalist called Dan McDougall in London before he started to meet producers and co-writers.

“Warner Bros said to me, ‘Are you up for a bit of co-writing? I was, like, ‘never done that before. Why not?’ “ He flew out to LA, met a few, but really hit it off with Greg Kurstin. “Greg Kurstin played me a few ideas, we had a chat, swapped some ideas, sorted it out and before you know we had some more songs. I’m as surprised as anyone that it worked, but the songs we did are top.” These songs include Liam’s incredible first single as a solo artist, ‘Wall Of Glass’. If you had to make an equation of all the elements that made the early Oasis singles so apocalyptically good - i.e., huge waves of guitar hooks + melody you can’t shake for...ever, thunderous rhythm, LIAM GALLAGHER’S VOICE delivering an unbelievably catchy chorus - then ‘Wall Of Glass’ fits in the lineage perfectly.

It’s hard to recall a time he’s sung better - it’s like hearing him for the first time again, the same yearning menace that claimed a million hearts by the end of GLOBE MAGAZINE 11

Supersonic’s first chorus. His voice is definitely on point.

“Yeah, well,” he almost agrees.

“I’m a good singer, man! Nine out of ten times I nail it. In a studio, without a doubt”.

For now, Liam’s just chomping at the bit to sing these songs as well as Oasis classics in public.

He will be playing all the Oasis favourites during his set at Gibraltar Calling. “I am ready.

I’m more than ready. I just wanna get out amongst it again and show everyone what they’ve been missing. I thought someone might’ve come along to try and sort it out while I was busy doing nothing, but no. No one. So I guess it’s all down to me...again.”

Liam Gallagher: back to take care of business again. He performs at this year’s 12 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Gibraltar Calling Music Festival on Saturday 7th September 2019. The rocker will be launching a feature length documentary in cinemas this June called ‘AS IT WAS’ which sees Gallagher return to his childhood home and recall the rise of OASIS.

Gibtelecom announces 5G Mobile Trials Gibtelecom announced on Thursday 27th June last that it will be carrying out 5G mobile technology trials before the end of the year. The announcement was made at a press and public event held outside the Company’s Head Offices at John Mackintosh Square during the course of the day.

The trials were announced by the Chief Minister and Gibtelecom Chairman, the Hon Fabian Picardo QC MP, along with the Company’s CEO, Noel Burrows, and José Antonio López, CEO of Ericsson Iberia.

Mr Picardo commented that “Once again, Gibtelecom shows its commitment to providing the latest technologies. As I mentioned in my budget speech earlier this month, the trials would be in-line with other 5G trials taking place across Europe and other countries. I believe making 5G services available would be very important not only for Gibtelecom, but also for Gibraltar as a whole. Having top-end communication services is one of the fundamental pillars of our economy and is key to retaining and attracting investment locally.”

Mr Burrows added that “We are extremely excited to embark on this 5G journey. This would be a quantum leap not only in the speeds that 5G would be capable of delivering, but also on its almost endless applications. At this stage, 16 GLOBE MAGAZINE

we are focusing on carrying out 5G trials, which we are planning to start before the year is out.”

During the event, members of the press and general public were treated to live demos of the new technology showcasing 5G’s capabilities and applications.

These were provided by Ericsson, with whom Gibtelecom have a long-standing relationship stretching all the way back 25 years to 1994 when mobile services were first introduced in Gibraltar.

Gibtelecom and Ericsson have since worked in partnership to ensure that Gibraltar’s mobile communications market has availed itself of the latest technology, from GPRS (2.5G)

being first introduced in 2004; 3G in 2009, and 4G+ LTE in 2015. Ericsson Iberia CEO, José Antonio López, who was present at the event, commented that “Gibtelecom and Ericsson have had a very fruitful relationship now spanning a quarter of a century. Ericsson is proud to be associated with Gibraltar’s premier communications services provider and look forward to our next steps in our long standing partnership.”

Jansen Reyes, Gibtelecom Director of Technology, who was also present at the well-attended event said that “5G technology will revolutionise the way we communicate and carry out our business. It will be able to offer

speeds that are multitudes faster than current 4G+ technology.

We are talking about speeds of multiple Gbps – the equivalent of a fibre optic connection accessed wirelessly. Other than enhanced speeds, perhaps the biggest advantage of 5G is its extremely high responsiveness, reliability, and consequent ability to allow for devices to talk to each other. In this day and age the “Internet of Things” has become a buzz word for everything that has an internet connection. This includes objects, appliances, sensors, devices and applications. With 5G, this can become a reality. The possibilities are endless. Smart homes and smart cities will become the norm.”

In Notre Dame fire, echoes of the 1837 Blaze that destroyed Russia’s Winter Palace Text By Paul W. Werth (Professor of History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas)

www.theconversation.com

In a city graced with remarkable architecture, the cathedral of Notre Dame may be Paris’ most striking edifice. So when it was engulfed by a fire that toppled its spire, it seemed as if more than a building had been scorched; the nation had lost a piece of its soul.

How can a country respond to witnessing the devastation of its most magnificent structure?

18 GLOBE MAGAZINE

As I watched the images, I couldn’t help but think of a similar tragedy that took place in 19th -century Russia – a story I tell in a forthcoming book about how the year 1837 played a pivotal role in Russian history.

Like the people of France who are mourning the damage to Notre Dame, the Russians were rocked by the destruction of an iconic

building. Their rebuilding effort might offer some inspiration for a French populace looking to pick up the pieces of their beloved cathedral.

A PALACE THAT SYMBOLIZES ‘ALL THAT IS RUSSIAN’ On December 17th 1837, a fire broke out at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Now the site of the

famous State Hermitage Museum, back then it served as the primary residence of the Czar and his family.

Standing in the heart of the Russian capital, with 60,000 square meters of floor space and 1,500 rooms, the Winter Palace was among the world’s grandest buildings. The Russian poet Vasilii Zhukovskii wrote that the palace

GLOBE MAGAZINE 19

was “the representation of all that is Russian, all that is ours, all that relates to the Fatherland.”

Originally completed in 1762, the palace had undergone a renovation just prior to the fire.

Historians aren’t precisely sure how the fire started, but they do know that defects from the renovation allowed the flames to spread quickly through the palace’s attics. By evening the structure

20 GLOBE MAGAZINE

was completely ablaze, a spectacle visible from miles away.

Informed of the fire while at St. Petersburg’s Bolshoi Theatre, Czar Nicholas I rushed to the palace, only to learn that the building couldn’t be saved. The best the monarch and his personnel could do was salvage prized possessions and prevent the fire’s spread to the Hermitage, where the emperor’s art collection was housed.

By the morning of December 19th, only the structure’s skeleton remained and an unknown number of people had died. The ruined palace “stood sullenly like a warrior,” one witness observed, “powerful but covered with wounds and blackened by the smoke of unprecedented battle.”

“The northern capital has lost her greatest ornament,” a local newspaper lamented.

A BLOW TO THE RULING REGIME For the Czar and his regime, the fire presented a political challenge.

The palace –a symbol of autocratic monarchy in an age of revolution– was now in ruins. Might the swift destruction of the palace reflect the fragility of the czarist order?

As with Paris in 2019, people expressed disbelief. How was

GLOBE MAGAZINE 21

it possible that this magnificent edifice, this national symbol, could be consigned to such destruction? Nicholas himself fell into depression, haunted by even the whiff of smoke. There were murmurs that the conflagration was God’s punishment for the impieties of a secularizing age.

Fearing that Russia’s detractors would cast the fire as a blow to the regime’s clout, Nicholas’ allies quickly mobilized to shape the narrative in Russia and abroad.

They wanted the country to appear united. And they certainly didn’t want despondency to become the story.

Outwardly identical to the old version, the new palace featured more iron, brick and ceramic in its structures – and less wood. It now had central heating and running water. It was far less fire-prone than the original.

Shaped by these imperatives and especially concerns about the international response, the first full account of the fire was written in French by the poet Petr Viazemskii and published in Paris. A Russian translation appeared two months later.

That text and others painted a highly idealized picture of the response to the tragedy. The accounts noted that the emperor forcefully directed the fire’s containment, submitting finally and humbly to God’s will. The empress Alexandra exhibited pious fortitude. Soldiers were selfless in their fervor to save the imperial family’s possessions. The Russian

people, viewing the palace as their “national patrimony,” felt the loss just as keenly as the czar.

(An assault on his wine cellar, and the disappearance of 215 bottles, was glossed over.)

‘ZEAL OVERCOMES ALL’ To reverse the humiliation of

the blaze, Nicholas set a nearly impossible goal: rebuild the palace within 15 months. And to erase any memory of the conflagration, he ordered that the restored palace look exactly as it had before.

Thousands of workers labored on an enormous construction site, blowing hot air from immense furnaces to speed the drying of interiors. Ocassionally spurred by sips of vodka, they made rapid progress.

On the fire’s first anniversary, portions of the restored palace were illuminated from within to showcase the progress. And on Easter Night, March 25, 1839, Nicholas celebrated the resurrection not only of Jesus Christ, but of the Winter Palace.

Some 200,000 people visited the

From what we know so far, Notre Dame hasn’t experienced the same level of destruction as the Winter Palace. Mercifully, nobody died.

Nor has the blaze of 2019 produced the loss of culture sustained in last year’s fire at Brazil’s National Museum.

Still, the scope of the damage has been vast.

Only time will tell what’s in store for the cathedral. The challenges of reconstruction are great. But like Nicholas, French President Emmanuel Macron has promised swift repairs. Millions in donations have already poured in.

And if the Russian phoenix of 1839 is any indication, there is hope that a renewed Notre Dame will once again grace the banks of the Seine.

One giant leap for mankind Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two people on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, both American, landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20th 1969

July 1969, which was a little over eight years since the flights of Gagarin and Shepard, was followed quickly by President Kennedy’s challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade was out. In fact, it was only seven months since NASA’s made a bold decision to send Apollo 8 all the way to the moon on the 24 GLOBE MAGAZINE

first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket.

Yet, on the morning of July 16, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, ‘Buzz’ Aldrin and Michael Collins were sat atop another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The three-stage

363-foot rocket used its 7.5 million pounds of thrust to propel them into space and into history.

At 9:32 a.m. EDT, the engines fired and Apollo 11 cleared the tower. About 12 minutes later, the crew was in Earth orbit.

After one and a half orbits, Apollo

11 got a “go” for what mission controllers called “Translunar Injection” - in other words, it’s time to head for the moon. Three days later the crew was in lunar orbit. A day after that, Armstrong and Aldrin climbed into the lunar module Eagle and begun the descent, while Collins orbited in the command module Columbia.

sounding alarms. It turned out to be a simple case of the computer trying to do too many things at once, but as Aldrin later pointed out, “unfortunately it came up When it came time to when we did not want to be trying set Eagle down in the Sea to solve these particular problems.” of Tranquility, Armstrong improvised, manually piloting When the lunar module landed at the ship past an area littered with 4:18 p.m EDT, only 30 seconds of boulders. During the final seconds fuel remained. Armstrong radioed of descent, Eagle’s computer was “Houston, Tranquility Base here.

Collins later wrote that Eagle was “the weirdest looking contraption I have ever seen in the sky,” but it proved its worth.

26 GLOBE MAGAZINE

The Eagle has landed.” Mission control erupted in celebration as the tension broke, and a controller told the crew “You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we’re breathing again.”

Armstrong and Aldrin blasted off and docked with Collins in Columbia. Collins later said that “for the first time,” he “really felt that we were going to carry this thing off.”

Armstrong later confirmed that landing was his biggest concern, saying “the unknowns were rampant,” and “there were just a thousand things to worry about.”

The crew splashes down off Hawaii on July 24th. Kennedy’s challenge had been met. Men from Earth had walked on the moon and returned safely home.

At 10:56 p.m. EDT Armstrong was ready to plant the first human foot on another world. With more than half a billion people watching on television, he climbed down the ladder and proclaimed: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

In an interview years later, Armstrong praised the “hundreds of thousands” of people behind the project. “Every guy that’s setting up the tests, cranking the torque wrench, and so on, is saying, man or woman, ‘If anything goes wrong here, it’s not going to be my fault.”

Aldrin joined him shortly, and offered a simple but powerful description of the lunar surface: “magnificent desolation.” They explored the surface for two and a half hours, collecting samples and taking photographs.

In a post-flight press conference, Armstrong called the flight “a beginning of a new age,” while Collins talked about future journeys to Mars.

They left behind an American flag, a patch honouring the fallen Apollo 1 crew, and a plaque on one of Eagle’s legs. It read, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon. July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.”

Over the next three and a half years, 10 astronauts followed in their footsteps. Gene Cernan, commander of the last Apollo mission left the lunar surface with these words: “We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.”

From Headphones to Drones

BOSE QC 35II Bose’s QuietComfort 35 II wireless noise-cancelling headphone looks, sounds and performs just like the original except for one key feature: There’s a new “Action” button on the left ear cup that allows you to connect to your Google Assistant without having to touch your phone. And that makes the QC35 II, available in black or silver, the first headphone to integrate Google Assistant.

Google Assistant is available for Android and iOS devices. Instead of talking to your phone to access Google Assistant (you have to download the free app), you just press and hold the Action button on the QC35 II and issue commands such as “Tell me the latest news,” “call Mum” and “What are some good Indian restaurants nearby?” You can also use your voice to control your music playback and compatible smart devices in your home.

You don’t have to use the Action button for Google Assistant.

Using the Bose Connect app, you can choose instead to map the Action button to noise-cancellation levels, toggling between Low, High and Off with each button press. You can also adjust the noise-canceling settings in the app, an important feature for those who may be sensitive to the feeling of light pressure that can be the by-product of active noise-cancellation.

The Controversy of DIO the band Vivian Campbell: “Wendy Dio never wanted DIO to bea band”

In An interview with former DIO and current DEF LEPPARD and LAST IN LINE guitarist, Vivian Campbell was asked if he and Ronnie James Dio ever got to mend fences prior to the singer’s 2010 death. He responded: “No. I never got to talk to Ronnie again afterwards, unfortunately.

Actually, we only talked to each other through the press, which is never, ever, ever a good idea. We were both guilty of saying really stupid and hurtful things. I’d like to think that we would have made up. I think if Ronnie and I had bumped into each other on the street, I think after a couple of minutes, we might have agreed to go to the pub for a pint and 30 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Ronnie & Wendy Dio

we could have probably worked things out.”

He continued: “There was a part of Ronnie that was really, really warm and caring and giving. But there was also a part of him that could be very angry. Unfortunately, that was the part that I saw more than the other; the latter more than the former.”

Vivian also addressed Ronnie’s comment that he felt Campbell was totally wasting his time with LEPPARD. The guitarist said: “You know, if Ronnie thought I was wasting my time with LEPPARD, he should have just honored his commitment.”

Holy Diver line-up

He went on to say: “Here’s the thing. It wasn’t about money. It was never about money. I am very, very big on principle. When a man looks me in the eye and shakes my hand and makes an agreement with me, I expect him to honour that agreement because I always uphold my end of the deal. And when I went to Ronnie, he reneged on that. The agreement was that by the third album, the band would be an equitable situation, and the reason I was fired was because I called him on that.

“The unfortunate truth is that Wendy Dio (Ronnie’s wife and manager) never wanted DIO to

be a band. She always wanted it to be about Ronnie, the solo artist. In her mind, it didn’t matter who was in the band with Ronnie, who was standing behind him — bass player, guitar players, drummers, whatever; we were all interchangeable. I strongly disagree with that. I think every musician is unique, like our own fingerprint. The way you play, the way you don’t play. The gaps you leave, the timing, the tonality you have, everything is unique to an individual, and when you find three or four people that work together and create a great sound, that’s the chemistry of a band. That’s unique. When you start pulling people out of that GLOBE MAGAZINE 31

equation, it’s never going to be the same. It’s always going to be a facsimile.”

Campbell added: “The original DIO band had a certain magic, not only in the way we sounded, but in the way created and we wrote those songs together. That was never going to be the same. I want to strongly emphasize, this was never about money. It was always about principle. That’s what broke up the DIO band.”

Campbell, along with drummer Vinnie Appice and bassist Jimmy Bain, was part of the original DIO lineup, which reunited in 2012 alongside singer Andrew Freeman to form LAST IN LINE. Campbell told Billboard magazine that Wendy has nothing to do with, and no love for, LAST IN LINE. “Vinnie still has occasional contact with her,” Campbell said, “and when we first started doing this project, she said something along the lines of, ‘Ronnie would be spinning in his grave.’ So there you go.”

In a May 2011 interview with Brazil’s Roadie Crew magazine, Wendy stated about the controversy surrounding Ronnie’s relationship with Campbell (in a 2003 interview Vivian called Ronnie “an awful businessman and, way more importantly, one of the vilest people in the industry.”), “[Vivian] always said that he hated all the albums that he played on with Ronnie, and that was very hurtful to Ronnie; very hurtful. Would you like someone, who said something like that about your albums? He said a lot of things in the press that I don’t wanna get into, because it really wasn’t Ronnie’s feud at all. Ronnie didn’t fire him. I fired him [Vivian]. He wanted as much money as Ronnie wanted.

He thought he was as important as Ronnie was, and that was just wrong. But I don’t wanna get into that. It’s water under the bridge.

It doesn’t matter.”

On whether LAST IN LINE gives him the opportunity to “make peace” with Ronnie James Dio, Vivian explained in a 2018 interview with Clint Switzer of the ‘MUSIC MANIA’ podcast, “Absolutely. Yeah, it’s very cathartic for me to be able to do this. If Ronnie were alive, he’d approve.

Then again, if Ronnie were still alive, I would never have done it. If there was still a version of the DIO band out there playing, I would never put LAST IN LINE together. It just seemed that after Ronnie had passed away, it was a chance for me to reassess that situation.”

It is one of those places with a certain charm, which one feels obliged to visit if you wish 34 GLOBE MAGAZINE

to sample excellent food in impeccable surroundings with an exquisite touch of elegance.

Cayetana is a gastrobar, which strongly caters for a Mediterranean Cuisine with an avant-garde touch, which is reflected in each of its dishes,

in both their extensive ‘a la carte’ menu, as well as, in their range of ‘tapas’ and ‘pintxos’ yet still maintaining the essence of traditional flavours, the quality of its products, careful preparation and taking the necessary care to every detail when serving.

Cayetana aims to take us on a trip through the cuisines of both northern and southern Spain with its combination of ‘tapas’ and ‘pintxos’, and offers us a menu carefully prepared by chef, José Tejedor, winner of the national competition of tapas and pintxos (Concurso

Nacional de Tapas y Pintxos) with his varied selection of tapas and smoked or brine marinated salads; a real, authentic delicacy for our taste buds, an extract of concentrated flavours and a culinary joy.

Another of Cayetana’s specialties

are its meats, of differing cuts and origins but with a common denominator, its quality and excellence of preparation.

They offer the extraordinary Tomahawk Ribeye steak, sirloin steak, cheek, entrecote steak, Iberian Prey (‘Presa Iberica’) or the traditional and always

reliable T-Bone steak. And that’s without forgetting the Iberian and cold cuts of pork meats and its cheeses.

As an example, we can enjoy pork cheeks braised in red wine with crispy yucca or a beef sirloin steak with king prawns

and ‘veta de ibericos’.

The menu, lengthy and varied, a high percentage of which can be adapted for people, who are gluten-sensitive, with a gluten-free adaptation of it on offer; a sign of the care taken to detail at Cayetana, GLOBE MAGAZINE 35

which is more an attitude than a purpose.

All in all, a great establishment, cosy and decorated with exquisite taste, with charming, helpful and very professional staff and offering its clientele a varied cuisine with great unique qualities.....This is Cayetana Gastrobar, a visit is a must!

Summer hours: Tuesday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 16:00 hours and from 19:30 to 00:00 hours. Closed on Mondays.

Flower Power (LOL Productions) Feng shui or ‘invisible forces’ is what flower child Melody, struggled to harmonise with her home and surrounding environment. But mum would have none of it as she cleared the scattered cushions placed on the floor by her ‘idealistic’ daughter...

Text by Richard Cartwright Photographs by Shannen Vinent

Universal peace, love and harmony was pretty much the flower power mantra of the late 60s and early 70s and Melody (Jessica Hansen), boyfriend Joey (Jackie Gavito), aka ‘babe’ and their like minded flower children hippy friends, were well into it!

That was the theme of LOL’s latest, ‘llanito’ comedy staged over five ‘full house’ nights at Ince’s Hall. Loads of colourful clothing and the sounds of hits of the era filled the auditorium (one or two preceded the

period) as the show got off to a great start with hippies on their motorbikes and VW minibus as they rode, drove and sang, to the 1968 hit, ‘Born to be Wild.’

Keeping to the hippy theme, Melody’s entrepreneurial spirit situated her on street pavements selling colourful, hippy type beads and accessories from her overflowing pushcart whilst boyfriend ‘Babe’ serenaded passersby on his guitar for a donation or two...That was, as he later claimed, HIS JOB! As has now become the norm at LOL’s shows, laughs were a-plenty from the delighted audience throughout the performance.

Back home Melody’s, ‘more down to earth’ sister Penny

(Nathalie Britto), was sporting knee length, white boots for walking...cue Nancy Sinatra’s mid 60s hit! Mum and dad (Jennifer Vinent and Lourdes Yuste), are just not happy with Melody’s newly found lifestyle – which she’s living to the full as she giggles and prances around all over the place non-stop and not too happy with hippy boyfriend ‘babe’ either. That’s too bad, because their hippy daughter is well into the ‘idyllic dream,’ in search of universal peace, love and ‘hippiness,’ together with her partner of the Flower Power 60s, BABE! LOL’s productions always feed on contemporary issues of the

time, like the 1967 referendum when 99% of the local populace voted to remain British and the closing of the Frontier Gates in 1969, cutting us off from the Spanish mainland for no less than 13 years! So whilst mum and dad were at the cinema, Melody thought it a good idea to invite their ‘communal group’ home for a drink and a smoke whilst organising a pro British demonstration regarding the referendum. The ‘demo’ went down well with participants proceeding to divest themselves of their clothing in keeping with true, ‘hippy freedom tradition.’

During the production and when least expected, an elderly, bad tempered lady pops in GLOBE MAGAZINE 41

and gets busy waving her handbag hitting individuals, who are – according to her – misbehaving...and this was certainly one such occasion! On a more serious note (unusual for a LOL production), we’re transported to a closed frontier scene where local residents are waving to their loved ones across the way shouting messages, some with binoculars and holding up a baby probably born since the closure.

Throughout the evening’s performance well chosen 60s and 70s hit songs are performed by the cast with three part harmonies and simple, yet effective dance routines thrown in for good measure, and part 2 is very much set in the 60s or even the 70s as earlier, former GBC presenter Ken Anthony’s name popped up and now, the second part of the show took us down to Wellington Front – the local TV station’s first home. Full of beans, Melody was determined to enter a GBC Game show. Prize on the night was a Volkswagen mini caravan and she must have it. Two teams competed for this fantastic trophy as they battled it out taking part in a variety of tasks affording the audience more than a belly-full of laughs and even interacting with them to help choose the winning team.

Melody’s team won, she was over the moon making her even happier and crazier still, (if that were possible), as BABE drove her and their hippy friends in their newly acquired game show prize, their much loved VW caravan, ending another successful LOL Production. They’ve done it again...Well done!

This was LOL’s 10th production and coming up with fresh ideas, show after show is no 44 GLOBE MAGAZINE

mean task, which reminds me of the very many Carry On films, which kept on coming and becoming, to my mind, less funny as the numbers mounted. Is LOL running the same risk? So far I think not, but it’s hard trying to come up with fresh material. ‘Flower Power’ was very good but after witnessing four, five or six of their productions, I’d hesitate to say it was the funniest.

But that’s just my view. The audience’s appreciation of the show was self evident as they chuckled, laughed and clapped throughout the performance.

What can’t be denied is that the actors’ performances – considering they’re amateurs – cannot be faulted. I’ve often said how important it is to always stay ‘in character’ even when you go for longish periods without a speaking part. The LOL cast is brilliant at it. Chapeau too, to Jessica Randall, Josie Barcelo Nicole Lopez and Ashline Evans for her great singing performance.

Producer/director Giselle Baker and son Jordan deserve a medal also. Giselle comes up with the ideas and format, writing including (‘Yanito’ lyrics to well known hit songs), makes ALL the costumes, constructs the set and directs the proceedings with a firm hand...hence everyone’s brilliant performance. Son Jordan is a star: he produces the show’s soundtrack, including actors’ song parts and harmonies, contributes ideas to mum’s lyrics and delivers the songs. He’s a good singer and vocals are always recorded upfront, which I like...

Looking forward to the next one... Love, peace and harmony to all!

Calentita 2019 It’s becoming pretty difficult to single out the most important or celebrated event of our cultural, entertainment, social or whatever annual occasion comes our way ‘Calentita’ continues to rank high up on the list!

Text by Richard Cartwright

‘No plastic’ was introduced last year and this year we’re encouraged to eat the right food: organic, food from the earth, meats and chicken not from animals fed on chemicals, eat better meat, go vegan and be healthy...That was the main message blaring out from the Kitchen Stage in Corral Road from invited, ‘farming research’ professionals. Side by side however, locals and visitors alike were enjoying the ‘nice’ food being sold fast from more than 30 stalls and ice cream vans, as well as, perusing and buying cottage industry, jewellery and knickknacks set out on tables in Market Place!

This year, Hungarian, Brazilian, Greek and German cuisine – to name a few – were on offer alongside local, Chinese, Andalucian, Italian and, of course, Moroccan with as usual, the longest queue of customers waiting patiently for their fabulous pinchitos! Vegan stalls were also available extending the ‘eat healthy’ message even 52 GLOBE MAGAZINE

further. There were drinks outlets also to accompany the variety of food on offer and there was brisk business at most of those too. On the Kitchen Stage also, Claire Louise Foster gave us more

vegan cooking tips and Vicky Bishop sharing ideas about her fabulous dishes. Pastry Chef, Nico Fitzgerald flew out from London to also show us how it’s done...the right way!

Entertainment also plays an important role at Calentita.

Guy Valarino was singing his heart out in Market Place with a DJ filling in the gaps: between them providing the perfect ‘chill out’ enjoyed by the many young people attending the popular event. Meanwhile, on the Casemates Square stage, the Danza Academy and Yalta Dance Studios (YDS) thrilled the crowds. There was a great prize too as in other years. The Newton Store offered a fabulous £650 ipad once again for those minded with reducing waste, by bringing their own re-usable plate or bowl and cutlery to try their luck. The event was extended onto Market Place and well into Corral Rd once again (as Casemates quickly bursts at the seams) and every available patch

The ‘Calentita Competiton,’ held for many years, where you turned up with your version of the local savoury (homemade calentita, later extended to torta patata, rosto or other local dish), has surprisingly fallen by the wayside and the reason is one, for those involved in organising the normally popular segment of the event, is baffling! Perhaps it’s because it’s summer and ‘calentita chefs’ are all at the beach depriving us of the eponymous relish!

Well, ‘Food for Thought’ was certainly the main message this year with the vegan and healthy food

stalls in attendance and the wise words coming from Vidya Heisel, CEO at the visionary permaculture farm project, ‘DanyaDara’ and Phil Brooke, Research and Education Manager at ‘Compassion in World Farming UK’ enlightening us on the Kitchen Stage at the far end of Corral Road.

From 7pm onwards, food, drink and entertainment were available and in high demand, judging by the crowds’consumption tendencies at Calentita 13. Word of Mouth and the ministerial cultural entities must be applauded yet again for what clearly has become a ‘must attend event’ for thousands every summer....They’re full of flavour and very appetising so should I stand in the queue and wait my turn for my pinchitos? Wow! The line is stretching even further.

I’ll have to give it a miss. For those enduring the wait though...

“Go Wild for Fashion” at Ocean Village raises over £1,600 for Alameda Wildlife Park Photographs by Steve Ball (Meteogib) It was an evening of safari and jungle-style at Dusk as the nightclub venue was turned into a tropical rainforest for “Go Wild for Fashion” – Ocean Village’s first ever charity fashion show to raise funds for the Alameda Wildlife Park.

The Alameda Wildlife Park of Gibraltar care for exotic animals confiscated by customs and unwanted pets - giving them a much-needed home - and also work to raise awareness around important endangered species by taking part in captive breeding programmes which help support species in the wild.

The Wildlife Park began life

58 GLOBE MAGAZINE

in 1994 as a collection of parrots, tortoises and monkeys confiscated from illegal traders passing through Gibraltar.

Over the years, the park has grown in size and eventually opened to the public, with the funds generated from ticket sales going towards renovations and care for the animals. A lot of this work is carried out by dedicated volunteers with a passion for wildlife and the park has also become an important educational zone for local school children to learn about animals and conservation issues.

Over £1,600 was raised during the evening for the Alameda Wildlife Park, with funds going specifically towards the Alameda Overground Project, a structure of tunnels and tree-top

walkways which will enrich the lives of a specific set of animals at the park (lemurs, cotton-top tamarins, common marmosets and long-tailed macaques) and create a much more exciting and immersive visitor experience. For more information: www.awcp.gi/ projects The evening of fashion showcased three different styles of clothing from local retailer Marble Arc, with fantastic looks created for Festival/Party Wear, Casual Wear and Formal Attire. Mayfair on Main created some truly wild hair and make-up creations for the Future Agency models, who were directed by Raygan Martinez from RA Productions. Local band PRNCPL wowed the crowd with their musical prowess, as staff handed out some delicious vegan

and vegetarian canapes from a selection of restaurants at Ocean Village: Wagamama, Las Iguanas and Café Fresco.

The Youth Centre of Gibraltar presented a collection of Upcycled Fashion with items selected from Clubhouse charity shop transformed by students with jewellery created from recycled objects. For more information on the “Rags to Riches” campaign, find them on Facebook at Youth. gi The event ended with grand prize raffle with over 15 prizes kindly donated from local companies such as stunning rose gold earrings from Swarovski, several bottles of bubbles from Stagnetto, a £75 voucher from Little Bay Indian Restaurant, a night on

Sunborn Hotel Gibraltar for two people, tickets for Gibraltar Calling, and many more!

Emilia Hazell-Smith, Marketing and Events Executive for Ocean

Village said: “We were beyond excited to hold this fashion show to raise funds and awareness for the Alameda Wildlife Park. It’s thanks to our main sponsors, Capurro Motors (who used the exciting opportunity to showcase their first ever all-electric SUV, the Jaguar I-Pace) and Eroski Gibraltar, all of our volunteers, additional sponsors and helpers, that we were able to put on a fantastic show were able to raise significant funds for the Alameda Wildlife Park.”

Jessica Leaper from the Alameda Wildlife Park said: This event was something completely different for the AWCP to be involved in, but it was a great success! It was also an amazing opportunity for us to introduce the sustainable fashion concept in Gibraltar.

The Youth Group did fantastic job upcycling clothes from the Clubhouse charity shop. The money raised from this event will make an important contribution to our Overground Project at the park.

What do Vegans feed their cats and dogs?

A moral dilemma “Pets are humanising. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.” James Cromwell pets bring up moral dilemmas sometimes.

Feeding your companion animals’ meat from farm animals means ignoring the animals you can’t see. Those animals deserve to be treated ethically as much as our pets do. You wouldn’t slaughter cats and dogs to provide meat for other cats, right? In the same way, there is no good reason to slaughter chickens, fish or cows for that purpose. Feeding meat to cats may seem more “natural”, but it’s important to remember that neither farm animals nor companion animals are living in natural conditions nowadays.

Text by Rosanna Morales

I’ve owned many pets in my life and they still hold a special place in my heart. My most recent pet was a gorgeous Staffy called Sophie.

Sophie crossed the rainbow three years ago from cancer. I’ll never know what caused the cancer but I know her life depended on me. Did I feed her well? Did I give her too much processed food? Not enough fresh meat or too much meat?

Personally, I think cats and dogs should be fed meat. Hence, since becoming vegan, I have chosen not to be a pet owner. I love all animals and understand that in the world we live in, where some animals are exploited and others are domesticated, there are no perfect solutions. We will always try to find the lesser of evils, trying to move forward and make the world a better place.

Some vegan pet owners think cats and dogs should be fed meat. They are carnivores and require meat in their diet. Being vegan and having pets, such as cats and dogs, can be a moral dilemma. If a dog is the same as a chicken, the answer to the dilemma is simple: don’t kill one to feed the other. However, if one of them has entered your heart, the moral dilemma becomes more complex.

Humans have domesticated the animals we call our “pets”, and now 60 GLOBE MAGAZINE

their lives depend on us. In some cases our lives depend on them such as guide dogs and therapy pets. Other animal species have been enslaved by humans, all part of a well-greased machine designed to provide food for us.

If you’re having troubles or concerns with vegan pet food but you don’t want to support the animalbased food industry, try to obtain leftover meat from restaurants or butcher shops (make sure you cook the meat before feeding it to your animals, to avoid the risk of infection from microorganisms the meat may contain). It’s not the most convenient solution, but it’s doable.

As with any family member, our

In practice, when a four-legged creature enters your family and your heart, you may find yourself disregarding the suffering of other animals in order to provide what your pet needs – especially when you can buy a nice package of food without having to see what the farm animals go through.

Cats are obligate carnivores, but fortunately, packaged vegan cat food is available and contains everything a cat’s body requires, including taurine*. Most cats can thrive on this kind of food.

In any case, you may want to talk to your local vet.

One good solution is to offer your cat vegan food and supplement it with meat, without contributing to the animal-based food

industries (some restaurants and butcher shops will be happy if you take their leftovers). If your cat goes outdoors, it is likely they will hunt their own meat.

WHERE DOES PET FOOD COME FROM? As you probably know by now, cows and hens get sent to slaughter once their bodies are unable to meet milk and egg production standards. Their bodies are ground up to make animal food, along with other “leftovers” from the meat industry, considered unfit for human consumption. Some will feed other farmed animals, such as fish and chickens, and some become pet food.

Vegan food for cats and dogs is available. Many vegans object to the idea of feeding their carnivorous pets vegan food, as it goes against their biology, but I don’t think we should be supporting factory farms.

Many cats and dogs can live long; healthy lives on vegan food, and veterinarians are beginning to accept vegan food as a healthy alternative.

In our modern world, pet food can be fortified with all the nutrients a cat or dog needs. *Taurine is a type of amino acid, and amino acids form the main constituents of all proteins. Taurine is exclusively found in animal-based proteins.

The World Music Festival Concert Resonates Joyfully Text by Joe Adambery Photographs by Marcos Moreno

Eight years have passed since the first WMF and despite loyal sponsors absorbing the increasing costs and the improving calibre of artists and speakers who come over every June, the final concert at St Michael’s Cave is always the benchmark by which the Festival’s success is measured and also the promise of its continuing success.

This year ‘Out of Chaos’ has been no exception and it’s hard to imagine how WMF year nine will surpass it. That is for Jan Delgado and his team to figure out and we know they won’t let us down. We trust that the economic miracles required to finance the Festival’s future will keep unfolding.

The headline act this year was Serbian artist Goran Bregovic and his Weddings and Funerals Orchestra who are a world class act with twenty musicians and singers on stage who blew the roof off the Cave. Bregovic has previously performed at the Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall and at Paris Olympia. He is the most famous contemporary composer from the Balkans and because Jan Delgado has been after him since day one of the WMF, his persistence has finally paid off as the calibre of the Festival is now firmly established internationally.

ensemble led by Israeli violinist Diwan Saz which featured ethnic flutes, long necked Ouds, electric bass, vocals and percussion.

They played sacred music which speaks of peace, with haunting melodies and featuring Middle Eastern musicians. From Galilee to Iran and through central Asia we were taken on an evocative musical tour with two guest vocalists and a singing rabbi who crowned their 45 minute set with rousing fast tempo Israeli goodtime music. They were a joy to listen to and watch as each musician got their showcase spot.

A well balanced opening set to prepare us for the musical storm that would soon resonate in the magnificent setting of the Cave which becomes the beating heart and WMF’s concert cathedral every year.

If you were to check out Goran Bregovic on U tube you would come across two songs which have glorified his career ‘Ciao Bella Ciao’ and ‘Kalashnikov’.

Both songs are very commercial and audience interactive. They were reserved for the finale but the repertoire that came before was richly varied and nothing quite like this central European folk orchestra has ever been enjoyed here before.

the string section showcased their considerable skills. Helped by great sound engineering (a shout to Dylan Ferro and his crew) not one nuance of the trio of violinists and cello was lost and they carried the emotional heart of the band.

The brass ensemble provided the backbone. Two star trombonists, two trumpets and a sax player who doubled on clarinet gave us the colours and the rhythmic gymnastics of the joyful Serbian music that comes ‘out of chaos’ that was Sarajevo in the dark days of 1991.

A chorus line of eight men with rich harmonies complemented the two lady vocalists in traditional costume who were the musical wings of the great Goran Bregovic and the percussionist a gifted vocalist in his own right performed miracles with his basic kit was responsible for some of the best ethnic vocals that we heard on the night. The charismatic and talented composer told us stories while strumming on his small guitar and occasionally using arm gestures to squeeze every ounce of talent from his orchestra. There was a Wailing Wall story were a man who was praying there was being interviewed by a cynical CNN reporter who was told after various polite answers that “I think I’m talking to another stone wall here so I will continue to pray to God”. Goran then rounded off the story with the quote of the

night. “I guess it wasn’t in God’s schedule to teach us how to live together in harmony, we have to learn that all by ourselves.”

The music flowed, nostalgia followed by joy. Echoes of Astor Piazolla’s oblique Argentinian musicscapes blended with big brass ‘Oompahs’ and central European ‘Mardi Gras’ street music if such

a one existed. I’m not being alone here in my review thoughts, I have trusted friends who attend theses events and concur that what we heard was extraordinary and who also wondered how is WFM 2020 going to up the ante?

One thing for sure they need more Government support.

This festival reaches a lot of

people over a week and it keeps improving. “All the talks were excellent and we went to all.” We have grown this together led by a small team of visionaries who are advocating peace and love, jewels that we have here in abundance along with exuberance and a strong desire to punch above our weight. We need to keep boxing.

Congratulations to all, who sponsored and supported the Festival, Government included, with the plea to help keep this wonderful thing alive and improving because we all need to celebrate ‘weddings and funerals’ and let our hair down with international friends at least once a year. Till next time.
