The Doctor Espinel Foundation

the charismatic Andalusian Ombudsman, José Chamizo de la Rubia or ‘Pepe’as he is affectionately known, who emphasized the importance of companies like ‘Clinicas Doctor Espinel’, setting up and betting on projects, which show solidarity with those less fortunate in today’s society; he also highlighted the figure of Antonio Sánchez Espinel and his achievements despite his youth.

On Friday 19th October last, the presentation of the ‘Doctor Espinel Foundation’ was held at the Hotel Guadacorte where guests attended a successful event full of emotion chaired by the journalist, Francisco Campaña and the mayors of Los Barrios, Jorge Romero, and of La Linea de la Concepcion, Juan Franco, respectively. Other guests included political dignitaries, military authorities, personalities from the world of science and technology, art and culture, trade unionists and members of both ‘Apymell’ and the ‘Cross-Border’ Group. Non-profit associations were represented by the likes of ‘Despierta’, ‘Mar del Sur’ and ‘Cafe y Caló’ and last but not least, relatives, friends and colleagues of Dr Espinel, who wanted to be present at such an important cross-roads in Dr Espinel’s career. Also invited for the occasion was Government of Gibraltar’s Communications Director, Clive Golt, who was unable to attend due to being away from 8 GLOBE MAGAZINE

It was the turn of Dr Antonio Sánchez Espinel to take to the stage. It was a case for reflection as he reminisced on his beginnings in the clinic at La Linea’s ‘Calle Real’ (Main Street), thirteen years ago with his mother as his assistant; his company’s collaboration with various groups in the region and later briefly explained the importance of dentistry and dental hygiene in everyday life. He also focused on the objectives of his Foundation in making a valuable contribution to civil society by helping the

less fortunate; a way of repaying society. He then went on to present Ms Isabel Rodriguez, President of ‘Despierta’, a cheque for 1.000€, the first donation of the newly created Foundation. Finally, Dr. Antonio Sánchez Espinel presented insignias to a dozen or so of the guests including the mayors of La Linea

and Los Barrios, the president of Apymell, Lorenzo Periañez, the artist, David Morales, the psychologist and writer, Miguel Vázquez, and the painter, Juan Macias. The night ended with drinks being served all round to celebrate such an important event; a night to reflect on others less fortunate than us!

The Ground Breaking History of Rolex

Article by Courtesy Of Watch & Bullion The most popular watch brand in the world; we’ve written a number of pieces covering the many stunning watches in the Rolex range but today we’re tracing the rich history of the Swiss giant, from its humble beginnings right up to the current day. Now at the height of their watchmaking fame, it is estimated that Rolex churn out more than 2,000 individual watches a day from their Switzerland HQ, with business giant Forbes estimating their brand value at a whopping £8.7bn in 2017. Throughout its groundbreaking history, Rolex has been responsible for a number of innovative design and functionality leaps which have helped it stay, not only ahead of the chasing pack but at the forefront of watch royalty for over 110 years. So, let’s jump right back to the beginning and trace the legacy of this watchmaking heavyweight to 1905 where it all began…. 1905 - 1908: The Founding It all started in London, England, when Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis founded ‘W&D’ in 1905, working alongside 10 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Swiss movement manufacturers to bring precision timekeeping to Great Britain. At this stage, the watches were never accredited to them and rather to regional jewellers, who would brand the pieces themselves with W&D’s only reference being found inside the case. Wristwatches were not the fashion in the early 1900’s, with pocket watches favoured by most due to their enhanced accuracy and stylish designs. Wilsdorf foresaw a change in the markets and vowed to create a wristwatch that not only looked amazing, but was highly accurate too. As with many successful ventures, the brand name was key. Wilsdorf spent months pondering the name of his new watch brand, desperate for something that was short, could be put onto a watch face and that was also easy to pronounce in any language. Whilst there are many different theories about how he came up with the name, in 1908 Wilsdorf registered the trademark ‘Rolex’ and the rest was history! 1910 - 1919: The Rolex Precision With the brand name set and the journey started, it was now time for Wilsdorf to overcome his main obstacle; mastering wristwatch precision. Many years were spent honing the

mechanics and intricacies that come with precision timekeeping. The standards had been set in both maritime and pocket watch keeping but Wilsdorf was not to be deterred. Jump forward to 1910, and Wilsdorf ’s Rolex watch was the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, awarded by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne. This was a huge breakthrough internationally for Rolex, further cemented in 1914, when the Kew Observatory awarded Rolex with their Class A precision certificate. This certificate had only ever been awarded to maritime chronmeters and as such, signified that Wilsdorf had achieved his goal of making a wristwatch that could truly compete. With Rolex’s reputation as a precision masterpiece secured, Wilsdorf was ready to take the brand to the next level. Unfortunately, high taxes on Gold, Silver and Luxury Goods in Great Britain in the early 1900’s forced Rolex to relocate to Geneva, Switzerland; their home up until the present day. 1926: Water Tight Excellence As Wilsdorf predicted in 1905, the fashion mo-

ved towards wristwatches as the years progressed. Wristwatches were now a staple part of the active, consumer lifestyle with Rolex being seen as the ‘on trend’ brand across the globe.

This was a pivotal moment in the history of the Rolex brand, as this represented their first Celebrity Sports Person endorsement. This trend would be seen to continue over the next 90 years, shooting Rolex to new heights of fame that Wilsdorf could have only dreamt of. 1931 – 1965 : Pioneering The Art Of Watchmaking With the brand established and the business model proven in its success, Rolex spent the majority of the 20th Century trailblazing the wristwatch world forward with a number of key technological advancements and celebrity endorsements:

Not content with just being a piece which kept time, Rolex wanted to push the boundaries of the wristwatch market by creating a watch which could keep up the precision wherever the wearer happened to be. In 1926, Rolex released the Oyster, the world’s first watch which was both dust and waterproof. The Oyster featured a hermetically sealed case which provided optimal protection for the movement even when exposed to micro dust particles or submerged in water. Partnering up with the young, English marathon swimmer Mercedes Gleitze in 1927, Rolex put their new, water tight precision to the test with a 10 hour endurance swim through the English Channel. The watch remained perfectly intact throughout, gaining glowing reports from commentators as well as Gleitze herself: “You will like to hear that the Rolex Oyster watch I carried on my Channel swim proved itself a reliable and accurate timekeeping companion even though it was subjected to complete immersion for hours in sea water at a temp of not more than 58 and often as low as 51. This is to say nothing about the sustained buffeting it must have received. . . . The newspaper man was astonished and I, of course, am delighted with it.” – Mercedes Gleitze. This was a pivotal moment in the history of the Rolex brand, as this represented their first Celebrity Sports Person endorsement. This trend would be seen to continue over the next 90 years, shooting Rolex to new heights of fame that Wilsdorf could have only dreamt of. 1931 – 1965: Pioneering The Art Of Watchmaking With the brand established and the business model proven in its success, Rolex spent the majority of the 20th Century trailblazing the wristwatch world forward with a number of key technological advancements and celebrity endorsements: 1931 – The Perpetual Movement The Perpetual Movement was the first of it’s 12 GLOBE MAGAZINE

1945 – The DateJust With the roaring success of the Oyster, Rolex needed to freshen up their range as well as bring something new to the market which would again set Rolex apart. In 1945, Rolex released the DateJust, the first watch to ever have an automatically updating date indicator on the face. To celebrate the companies 40th birthday, the DateJust included a Jubilee strap and later upgraded to the Cyclops Lens to give it the look and feel we are familiar with today.

that could truly brave the elements. As enhancements to the Oyster came, so did the further endorsements with the first ever ascent to Everest in 1953 being accompanied with Rolex watches. Off the back of this expedition the Oyster Explorer was released, giving everyone the chance to experience the Rolex adventure themselves. 1953 – Diving Deep with the Submariner With the highest heights conquered, it was now time to master the deepest depths. Rolex released the Submariner, the first watch capable of reaching depths of 100m as well as a handy rotating bezel to track diver’s immersion time. The Submariner remains one of the most iconic and popular Rolex watches to date, with many design and technical variations between the original and most modern models. 1955 – Rolex Takes To The Skies With the rise of transcontinental airline flight, pilots were becoming increasingly reliant on the need to track multiple time zones. In collaboration with Pan Am Airlines, the GMT Master was born. Taking a lot of the great work from the Submariner, the GMT Master

It came equipped with the new Presidents bracelet which was a fitting name given it’s common association with Influential people the world over, including a number of US Presidents. 1963 – The Lasting Endurance Following the groundbreaking exploits of Sir Malcolm Campbell, Daytona became the hotbed for not only high speed racing but endurance racing also. It was only fitting that Rolex released arguably their most famous piece for the rise of endurance motorsport, their very own Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Equipped with the beautiful design and rugged reliability Rolex were now known for, the Daytona also had the ability to track speed over long periods with it’s innovative bezel.

1965 – Present: Finesse Personified With Rolex making such groundbreaking history in their first 60 years, it wasn’t long before the rest of the watchmaking world strived to catch up. From the 60’s to the present day, Rolex have continued to innovate incorporating high quality steel into every watch, refining intricate movements and incorporating stunning and robust design features. Alongside these leaps forward, they have released a number of iconic new models such as the Yacht Master, Pearl Master and SeaDweller as well as constant remastering of the classic Oyster, Submariner and Day-Date ranges. With Rolex’s legendary status spanning multiple generations, their older timepieces have naturally made their way into the preowned market, allowing practically everyone to get their hands on their very own Swiss masterpiece.

The 2018 KIA Sportage The Kia Sportage has been face-lifted for 2018, adding subtle exterior changes Kia Motors has revealed the upgraded Kia Sportage, introducing a range of enhancements to the brand’s European and global best-seller. The new model pairs an updated exterior and interior design with new safety and infotainment technologies. Power-trains are also fully-compliant with future emissions standards. 16 GLOBE MAGAZINE

The stylish Kia Sportage crossover now appears in an all-new, fourth-generation guise bringing major advances in fuel efficiency, comfort, connectivity, convenience and safety. The acclaimed styling of the Sportage, a model, which sells as much on its looks as on its practicality, has been subtly modernized and new GTLine versions add an even more

‘sporty’ flourish to the range, while every model benefits from a more premium look and feel to the interior. Kia is the first manufacturer to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid, ‘battery-electric’ and ‘48-volt mildhybrid’ technology across its full model line-up. Kia will launch 16 advanced power-train vehicles by

2025, including five new hybrids, five plug-in hybrids, five batteryelectric vehicles and, in 2020, a new fuel-cell electric vehicle. Kia sold more than 131,000 examples of the Kia Sportage in 2017, representing a quarter of the brand’s total European sales. Upgrades to the Sportage range also include modifications to GT Line models. European customer deliveries of

sill trim and metallic skid plates, and five new paint colours. GT Line models are equipped with a gloss black hot-stamped radiator grille, a gloss black and silver skid plate, and dark chrome inserts on the side sills and rear tailgate. The GT Line’s unique 19-inch alloy wheels have been redesigned, and all models are fitted with a dual exhaust rear valance and revised ‘ice cube’ LED fog lamp designs. The newly-refined cabin features a new steering wheel and revised instrument cluster, as well as new black-and-grey two-tone upholstery. GT Line models are available with new black-and-grey two-tone leather seats, or optional black leather with red accents.

the new model started during the third quarter of 2018. There are now four engines with five power outputs and three transmissions with the introduction of a 1.6-litre T-GDi (turbocharged gasoline direct injection) unit and a 7DCT (seven-speed dual-clutch automatic) gearbox, both of which are reserved exclusively for GT-Line. They join the extensively re-engineered 1.6-litre GDi petrol unit with improved fuel economy and CO2 reductions of up to 29g/km; Most benefit from a broad range of modifications to improve fuel efficiency, NVH and power delivery. The range of gasoline engines is made up of a 1.6-litre GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine and the brand’s latest 1.6-litre T-GDI power unit.

Connectivity and advanced driver aids are a pre-requisite in any car these days, and the Sportage will not disappoint on either count. All versions except the entry-level grade have a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen satellite navigation system linked to Kia Connected Services with TomTom®, providing full European mapping and detailed traffic, speed camera, weather and local services information. Further up the range, Speed Limit Information, Lane Keep Assist, High Beam Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert are available.

UPGRADED POWER-TRAIN INCLUDE NEW ECODYNAMICS+ PETROL MILD-HYBRID While the design tweaks might be subtle, the most significant changes come under the bonnet. The revamped engine line-up sees both of the outgoing car’s petrol engines, naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions of a 1.6 litre direct injection unit, receive emissions’ tweaks to help them pass the latest Euro 6 Temp regulations. Out on the road, the difference compared to the old one isn’t drastic but that’s more of a testament to how well the system works than anything else. The most obvious changes centre around the stop/start system: the electrical assistance allows the engine to cut out at around 10mph when slowing to a halt, restarting the engine much more quickly than before when moving off. 18 GLOBE MAGAZINE

As before, the Sportage continues to be offered with a choice of front- and all-wheel drive, with the revisions to suspension and steering, and the latest electronic driver aids, providing stable handling and high levels of grip in all conditions. The upgraded Sportage adopts Kia’s latest advanced driving

assistance systems, including ‘Smart Cruise Control’ with ‘Stop&Go’, an ‘Around View Monitor’ for easier parking manoeuvres and ‘Driver Attention Warning’, to combat fatigue and

inattentiveness at the wheel. European customers have a choice of Kia’s new infotainment systems: a 7.0-inch touch-screen, or a new ‘frameless’ 8.0-inch infotainment system.

As ever, the inside of the all-new Sportage is a very pleasant place to seat. The facelift brings a new steering wheel, a revised driver’s display and tweaked air con controls but the changes are subtle.

They Shall Not Grow Old: World War I Film a Masterpiece of Skill and Artistry – just don’t call it a documentary Text By Alice Kelly (Harmsworth Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of the United States and World War One, University of Oxford)

www.theconversation.com

They Shall Not Grow Old, Peter Jackson’s widely celebrated World War I film, says more about our search for historical authenticity and the “real” than it does about the Great War. Has our contemporary need to “humanize” history gone too far? One of the culminating World War I centenary projects commissioned by 14-18 Now, the film was created by selecting material from more than 100 hours of black and white film footage from the BBC and Imperial

22 GLOBE MAGAZINE

War Museums (IWM) archives. Through technological skill and artistry, the film has been slowed down (from 13 to 24 frames per second), sharpened up, colourised, given sound effects and made 3D. Lip readers viewed the footage and actors dubbed dialogue onto the film, matching the accents of the regiment shown on screen – and the film is entirely narrated through snippets of oral testimony by veterans. The aim is to make us see the participants “as human beings,

GLOBE MAGAZINE 23

not as figures in a history book”, as Jackson noted in the Q&A following the premiere. A copy of the film will be sent to every high school in the UK as an educational resource, and it featured in the primetime BBC Two broadcast slot on November 11th – known as Remembrance Sunday in the UK. But, despite the amount of archival research, technical skill and attention to detail involved in the production, there’s something about the film – and the public response to it – that makes me profoundly uncomfortable. Billed as a documentary by most, the film has been uniformly praised for “bringing the soldiers unforgettably back to life”. Here, we are told, “the world of 100 years ago really does come to life in a way it never has before”. In its use of colour, one reviewer noted, “the footage (somewhat paradoxically) regains authenticity” enabling “a new type of human connection with that era of our past”. Another suggested that this “documentary feature” brings us into “closer, more candid contact with our history than ever before”, even leaving us with “cinematic shellshock”. As film critic Mark Kermode phrased it at the Q&A, watching

24 GLOBE MAGAZINE

the film “is almost like we are experiencing a memory”. But we’re not shellshocked – and these aren’t our memories. What the reviews or the film’s billing don’t discuss is the implicit fictionalisation or ethics of Jackson’s method. Obviously all documentaries are fictionalised to some extent – created through

editorial selections that have biases, both explicit and implicit. But I don’t think we should even be calling this a documentary; it’s really an artwork or a fictionalised feature film. One reviewer unwittingly hits this nail on the head when he comments: “So dazzlingly transformative is the restoration of this footage that

Drawing on archival film footage of colonial troops or other theatres and spaces of war (for example, the Eastern Front or nurses working in hospitals) would have broadened the perspective to reflect the wider nature of participation in the war.

shots juxtaposed with images of corpses, misleadingly suggesting that these are the dead bodies of the soldiers we see. There must have necessarily been some artistic licence with the sound: one reviewer suggests that trench scenes have been “remixed” to include “a Dolbyfied rumble of shells”, as a means of further enhancing the “Jacksoncolour” effect. Colourisation is a technique that has been used brfore in a World War I context and across other historical fields – and for me that’s not really the problem. He’s right that it’s a contemporary source, but using these propagandistic images without any qualification is simply bad history. It’s moments like these which require narrative commentary, explaining what the source is on screen and its potential biases.

26 GLOBE MAGAZINE

What is history? The added colour and sound and editing techniques encourage us to imagine (even recall, in Kermode’s view) a reality that never existed. In the battle scene, alongside the War Illustrated images, we see individual faces of soldiers taken from group

But the colourization combined with the selective source base, the implicit narrative making and the critical response that suggests that this is somehow more “authentic” history, is problematic. Some reviewers seem unable to distinguish fiction from reality: “No Lord of the Rings battle could match the sheer hellishness

of what the filmmaker recreates here,” writes one. What does this process of modernisation and the addition of colour and sound, which Jackson advocates for wider usage across historical archives, do for our understanding of the past? On Armistice Day, we should encourage people to watch this film – not just for its World War I history, but as a good opportunity to think about history making. What are the editorial choices we make as historians and scholars, and how can we make those choices clear? What are the distinctions between scholarly history and public history? When do attempts at increasing historical understanding move into reenacting? If the film makes archival footage more widely accessible, that’s great. Let’s just not call this a documentary.

England vs Spain, Wembley Stadium, th 8 September 2018

Text and Photography by William Gracia

The idea As published in the March issue of this magazine, obtaining photographic accreditation for the Champions League tie between Porto and Liverpool back in February was in itself an experience I never thought I would ever repeat, and could have possibly been my first and last (non-Gibraltar FA) official UEFA match I would attend as an accre28 GLOBE MAGAZINE

dited photographer. As a relatively inexperienced and amateur sports photographer achieving access to a top UCL fixture was an accomplishment in itself. However, this experience leaves an impression, which, not only the the match itself, but the pre match build ups with press conferences and open press training sessions. Then there is the challenge to ensure you take the best

possible action photos and then comes the post processing of images some of which are published in different media and for a wide variety of uses. All this meant I wanted to do this again, at least once more! With the Nations League fixtures having been announced a few weeks earlier, I could not help the mouth-watering prospect of an England v Spain fixture, at the

home of football, Wembley. Certainly it could not get any better than the Champions League experience! First attempts through various channels proved impossible to even apply for or be considered for application. Accreditation is only awarded to professional photographers, who belong to one of several sports photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associations or accreditation schemes, mainly national press and sports agency media.

It seemed an impossible task, and to be realistic, at the back of my mind, I was already resigned to the fact that this was never going to happen. The magnitude of the fixture as a Gibraltarian, and at such a venue, was just too much to give up at such an early stage and with still 5 months to go to ‘kick off ’. With the help of some contacts I had established over the previous year, I was invited to submit some

of my work to a source, who could provide a platform towards but not guarantee accreditation. After much toing and froing, I was eventually invited to apply, but was told from the outset that apart from the normal approval processes in place much would depend on the circumstances surrounding the match and the level of interest in it. This two tier process essentially meant that if England performed well at the World Cup, applica-

tions would increase and my chances would decrease substantially! England, as we all know, made it to the last 4 and so this was going to be the end of the road for me surely, especially when by 2 weeks before the match, which is usually when the accreditations are awarded I had heard nothing at all. Imagine my surprise when on the Sunday before the match, with only 6 days to go I received an

email confirming that my application had been successful together with a press pack with all the information regarding training schedules, press conferences and directions to get into the press area at Wembley. Within 24 hours I had my travel arrangements in place and on Friday I found myself outside the photographer’s entrance at Wembley mingling with media persons from the Times, Associated Press and Getty Images, all GLOBE MAGAZINE 29

with stories on their experiences in the Russia World Cup. I had decided on Spain’s press conference because it was being held at Wembley and that would give me an opportunity to have an overview of the area, the stadium and the photographer’s facilities before match day. It would also allow me to view the areas earmarked for photographers on the pitch and enable me to pick my preferred spots around the stadium. We were allowed into the stadium and after securing the relevant pass and getting through security we were escorted to the press conference auditorium where both Luis Enrique, Spain’s manager, and Sergio Ramos, their captain, answered questions from the press. I was very surprised by Sergio Ramos as he showed no signs whatsoever of his tough guy image he shows on the pitch, totally the opposite, very friendly, approachable and at ti30 GLOBE MAGAZINE

mes, humorous with the press. We were then allowed onto the pitch touchline to witness Spain’s open training session. The positive team spirit was very evident with most of the players in a very relaxed mood brimming with confidence. Match day and a bright warm sunny day greeted us, unlike the Liverpool game where it had rained continuously during the match proving uncomfortable to take pictures naturally. At the advice of one of the photographers the previous evening I arrived at the photographer’s entrance at Wembley 2 hours before it was due to open, and there were already 3 others in the queue before me. By the time the doors opened there were another 50 or so, so I guess it was pretty sound advice. This allowed me to get in through security and bag search and collect my accreditation pretty quickly and make my way

to the photographer’s lounge. I had also been advised that generally in the UK spaces pitch side are reserved by placing your monopod into position so I did that along with my stool and picked my spot! I could now relax until kick off so after taking some pictures of the empty ground from different areas I decided to set off outside the stadium down Wembley Way to take some shots of the fans arriving. With 2 cameras in hand, official Wembley bib and accreditation round your neck it is quite easy to get fans to pose for photos, both sets of fans being very friendly and in great spirits. I could hardly believe what I was experiencing. The media facilities at Wembley are quite extensive so I headed back to the lounge for coffee and snacks before heading pitch side to take up my position and prepare my gear about 45 mins before kick-off. As I did that the England team came out

for their warm up. The ground was now filling up and by kick off there were 82,000 spectators in the stadium chanting the names of the likes of Kane and Southgate. Harry Kane was presented with the World Cup Golden Boot in a small ceremony and the game soon got under way. By this time my once spacious position had become a small space with just enough room for me to sit with my 2 cameras and have my bag at my feet. The game kicked off with Spain attacking towards me and the goal to my left hand side so I had Alonso, Saul and Isco coming down the flank directly down my lens. England took the lead in the 11th minute through Marcus Rashford but Spain equalised 2 minutes later, Saul with a short range effort, with the winner coming from Rodrigo in the 32nd minute. Watching a football match from behind a camera

viewfinder does not contribute to its enjoyment, but it was always clear to me that my priority was the photography aspect, which would exceed that of the match itself. The echoing of the fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chants behind me turned the Wembley arena into a superb cauldron of emotions, noise and jubilation, which is impossible to describe in words. The game ended with no further goals in the second half but I did mana-

ge to get my share of decent shots, Danny Rose, the England left back contributing to much of the play on my side. An international match such as this leaves an even bigger flavour begging for even more, so the challenge now has to be, with two big UEFA competitive matches under my belt, to try secure further accreditations in the future.

The best beard looks and how to style them By courtesy of Toppik UK

There’s more to growing a beard than just avoiding the razor. When choosing a beard style, it’s important to consider your facial hair growth patterns, your face shape, and your overall lifestyle. Since there are so many different beard styles for men, we’ve created this guide to help you choose your ideal facial hair style and learn how to style your beard.

THE 5 TOP BEARD STYLES FOR MEN Stubble Beard by Courtesy of Toppik UK The stubble beard is the shortest of the top beard styles on our list, and the easiest to pull off. It takes anywhere from just one day to two weeks to grow in, depending on how fast your beards usually grow. The stubble beard is a great option for men, who can’t grow a thick beard because the short length disguises any patchiness. This is also the ideal facial hairstyle for men, who don’t want to commit to growing out a full beard. You can maintain this look using a facial hair trimmer. Since this style is so short, shaving the cheek and neckline is totally optional. The Vandyke Beard With this short beard style, the hair on the chin and above the lip is allowed to grow, while the cheeks are kept either slightly stubbled or 40 GLOBE MAGAZINE

completely clean-shaven. If your beard naturally comes in patchy on your cheeks, the ‘Vandyke Beard’ is a great way to embrace the facial hair trend. This look is also flattering for men with round faces, since it creates the illusion of a longer chin. Use a facial hair trimmer or scissors to keep your beard a neat length. Shaving your cheeks is optional, but recommended for formal events.

to two months to come in, depending on how quickly your facial hair grows. The short beard is one of our top beard styles because it’s universally flattering because it gives the illusion of a stronger jaw-line. This look works best for men, who can grow a thick beard; if that’s not you, no worries. Maintain your short beard by trimming with scissors or a facial hair trimmer.

maintained, the mustache beard is very dapper and appropriate for formal settings. Keep the cheek and neckline trimmed and use an oil to keep your beard nice and soft. Full Beard Otherwise known as a lumberjack beard, the full beard takes two months to one year to grow. Since this beard is so long, you won’t need to trim your neckline.

Short Beard Mustache Beard This full-coverage beard is kept neat and professional by trimming the cheek and neckline. The short beard can take from two weeks up

This bold look features a styled mustache that’s longer than the rest of the beard. When properly

Moisture is essential to keeping a full beard hydrated and healthy, so apply a beard oil to your facial hair daily. You’ll also want to keep your cheeks trimmed to keep this from looking too sloppy. Easy Beard-Styling Tips You Should Know 1. Trim according to your face shape. If you have a longer face, keep the hair on your chin shorter with more fullness on the sides. Men with shorter faces will want to grow their beards longer while keeping the sides trimmed to create the illusion of a more symmetrical face. 2. Shampoo & condition your beard. Just like the hair on your head, you must shampoo your beard to keep it clean. Make sure you wash your beard at least twice per week, and then follow shampoo with a conditioner to keep your facial hair moisturised. on: www.pandeazucargrill.com

Tyan Borrell, this year’s Runway Show Winner Tyan is not in Gibraltar at the moment but the winner of this year’s Runway Show took time out from her hectic schedule to chat to me via email on how much it has meant to win and how the influence of a Grandmother has changed her life.

Text by Justine Fava - Cartwright Photographs by Gypt

1. Tell me a little about who Tyan Borrell is? I was born and raised in Gibraltar but spent the last five years studying fashion in Liverpool. I recently graduated from university with a BA hons in fashion. However, my hunger for fashion spans beyond the grades and qualifications. My passion for creativity owes a lot to the childhood memories I have of my Grandmother’s enthusiasm for fashion. She taught me the basics of garment construction and fabric manipulation and this is what drove my ambition for textile design. 2. What made you enter this year’s runway competition Runway is an event I have always enjoyed, whether I have helped out back stage or watched it from the audience. Having completed my Fashion degree, I felt that 42 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Tyan Borrell

runway was the perfect opportunity to showcase my final collection to my friends and family. It has also provided me with vital experience post-university. 3. Tell us about your collection and who inspires you in the fashion industry? My collections inspired by the natural underwater world with a special focus on marine reefs. The predominant colours used are pastels which include colours such as lilac, coral, pinks and blues. The fabric used is soft tulle, which was manipulated using a smocking technique to replicate the common appearance of underwater coral life. There are countless designers whom I am passionate about, but I find Molly Goddard’s work very captivating and is defiantly a big inspiration when it comes to my work. 4. Why do you think your collection stood out from the rest?

I thought that all three designer’s collections were brilliant and different in their own way. If I had to pick a part of my collection which I thought stood out from the rest, it would be the textures I created by manipulating the fabrics. 5. What do you think about this body conscious society and the pressures the fashion industry puts on their models etc? I feel like the society often feels inferior to models because of the contrast between their bodies and the models. The pressures on society make you feel like you have to look like models. This is simply because the fashion industry mainly influences what is beautiful and attractive. The pressure to be skinny isn’t just on the society, models also need to keep fit and healthy in order to fit into the small sizes which designers manufacture. However, the fashion industry is taking a massive turn and are now embracing curvier girls and promoting body positivity. 6. What did winning mean to you and where will this win take you? Winning runway 2018 was an honour. It was brilliant to see that all my hard work and preparation for my collection had paid off. Having won, I am lucky enough to be spending a week in London with Designer Sadie Clayton on an internship. 7. What ideas and plans do you have for the future? To keep designing and chasing my dreams, which are to hopefully work with some of the most significant designers there are out there. 8. what advice would you give GLOBE MAGAZINE 43

to anyone taking up this type of work? There is a lot of stress and late nights, but never give up! Hard work always pays off.

44 GLOBE MAGAZINE

9. Who would you like to thank that has helped make this possible and supported you in yourÂ career dreams?Â I would like to say a massive thank

you to my mum and dad for their endless support and for the hours you both spent tying knots on the threads and cutting endless strips of fabrics. Without you both none

of this would have been possible. I would also like to thank my grandma for having taught me everything I know when it comes to garment construction.

Food and Wine tasting evening at La Mamela

However, this was a wine tasting session with a difference as guests were greeted by the new management staff before settling down to a dinner of five dishes during which five different wines were introduced and enjoyed. The event was attended by over thirty wine enthusiasts from a cross section of our community. The wines were presented by ‘The Cellars’ Alex Martin, a fine wine connoisseur himself,

who went through the different stages of the wine making process in detail followed by the presentation of their five wines for the evening. He would occasionally add his well-informed comments on the properties of

the wines much to the delight of those present. The five wines served with their respective dishes were: Fan D. Oro (Castilla y Leon), ‘a great white in the land of red and

aged in new French Oak barrels’; Pago Florentino (Castilla La Mancha), a clean red crianza wine, silky with a wide range of aromas; Arzuaga Crianza (Ribera del Duero), ‘the flagship of the bodega’, this is an intense, flavoursome wine that still retains its youthful vitality; Arzuaga Reserva and Gran Reserva repectively (Ribera del Duero) - these wines are the essence of Ribera del Duero and are a great definition of simplicity. After the wonderful meal and excellent wine presentation, guests were able to interact with Alex Martin over a glass of their favourite wine of the night.

In all the confusion it’s felt the only way to find out who is the rightful heir is by checking out the claimers’ DNA.

How Do You Know if It’s Psoriatic Arthritis?

Text By Stacey Colino & Medically

thritis also tend to have arthritis in the distal joints of the fingers (closest to the nails), whereas the joints closest to the palm of the hand are more commonly affected with rheumatoid arthritis, she adds.

Reviewed by Sanjai Sinha, MD

Psoriatic arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease and an inflammatory form of arthritis. While it shares characteristics with other types of arthritis, there are ways to distinguish this disease and treat it accordingly. One distinctive feature of psoriatic arthritis is the presence of psoriasis, a disease that causes thick, red, dry skin patches known as plaques, as well as, pitted nails or nails that separate from the nail bed. Like psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis stems from a faulty immune response, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. Roughly 30 percent of people with psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation. “About 10 percent of people develop arthritis first, then psoriasis later,” says Eric Ruderman, MD, the clinical practice director of rheumatology at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis include joint pain, swelling, stiffness (es58 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Psoriatic arthritis often causes inflammation or pain at the point where tendons attach to bones (enthesitis). “This can hurt more than the joints themselves,” Dr. Ruderman says. Enthesitis most commonly occurs at the heel, on the bottom of the foot, or in the elbow.

pecially in the morning), and fatigue. Psoriatic Arthritis Versus Rheumatoid Arthritis As a review published in April 2015 in the journal Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases points out, psoriatic arthritis has several features in common with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both are autoimmune disorders causing joint inflammation and pain. But there are differences in how the diseases develop and affect the joints.

While RA is much more likely to affect the same joints on both sides of the body, psoriatic arthritis patients often have asymmetric arthritis, notes Kathleen Maksimowicz-McKinnon, DO, a senior staff physician at Henry Ford Health System and an associate professor of medicine at Wayne State University in Detroit. “Another difference is that in psoriatic arthritis, it is very common to have inflammatory disease of the lower spine,” says Dr. Mckinnon. Patients with psoriatic ar-

How Psoriatic Arthritis Differs From Osteoarthritis Many people, who have joint pain and stiffness are diagnosed with osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease that affects cartilage, the slippery covering that allows bones to slide over each other when joints bend. Psoriatic arthritis is not caused by wear and tear on the joints the way osteoarthritis is. While psoriatic arthritis symptoms come in flares, osteoarthritis-related

pain and swelling usually gets worse over time. On the other hand, people with osteoarthritis don’t experience the psoriasisrelated skin symptoms that often accompany psoriatic arthritis. Steps to Diagnosing Psoriatic Arthritis Diagnosing psoriatic arthritis can be tricky. In addition to a physical exam and a comprehensive medical history, your doctor may order imaging tests (such as an X-ray or ultrasound) to look for joint damage. A study published in the May – June 2016 issue of Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology found that using ultrasound can help distinguish early psoriatic arthritis from rheumatoid arthritis in the small joints of the hands. Negative blood tests for rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies can help rule out rheumatoid arthritis. Challenges of Treating Psoriatic Arthritis “Rheumatoid arthritis can be very destructive if it’s not treated, which is why we treat it aggressively with biologics,” Ruderman says. “But psoriatic arthritis doesn’t manifest that way. Fewer than half of people with psoriatic arthritis develop a particularly aggressive form, which makes treatment challenging because we don’t want to over-treat it.” Even so, the pain and discomfort associated with psoriatic arthritis can be significant. A study published in April 2015 in PLoS One found that the overall pain, joint pain, and fatigue reported by psoriatic arthritis patients was significantly greater than

that reported by people with rheumatoid arthritis. For milder forms of psoriatic arthritis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended for joint symptoms. Topical creams, ointments, and lotions are often used to address the scaly, itchy skin rashes that occur with psoriasis. If there are signs of joint damage, doctors treat psoriatic arthritis more aggressively with medications like the ones used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, Ruderman says. These include disease-modifying anti-reheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics. “Without disease-modifying therapy, the prognosis for psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is usually significantly worse than for osteoarthritis,” says Neil Kramer, MD, the medical co-director for the Institute for Rheumatic and Autoimmune Diseases at Atlantic Health System’s Overlook Medical Center in Summit, New Jersey. As with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis complications can include increased risk of heart disease, depression, obesity, certain cancers (such as nonHodgkin lymphoma), infections, and osteoporosis, according to research published in October 2015 in the Journal of Rheumatology. In addition, “people with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis have a high incidence of metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, and cholesterol abnormalities,” Ruderman says. “We need to think of it as psoriatic disease that affects the joints, tendons, skin, and nails, and use multiple things to treat it,” he adds.

Advantage Insurance Company Limited is the latest company to partner with the Gibraltar 2019 NatWest International Island Games, having entered into a sponsorship agreement that gives the firm ‘Silver Sponsor’ status. The Games take place in July next year and will see the visit of 2,500 participants across fourteen sports - from Athletics to Triathlon - as well as several hundred officials, dignitaries and supporters. Fabian Vinet, Head of Commercial Operations of the Gibraltar Island Games Organising Committee, welcomed the news: “I am particularly pleased that an entity like Advantage, whose 64 GLOBE MAGAZINE

Indeed, Advantage are not mere financial sponsors of the 2019 Island Games; they have sought to take an active role and their members of staff will be volunteering, as a team-building exercise, in helping at several of the sporting events, which is very commendable.” Speaking on behalf of Advantage, Finance Director Stephen Mumford added: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the Gibraltar 2019 NatWest International Island Games. As significant local employers and proud members of the Gibraltar community, we are excited to support and be part of this great event, with many of our colleagues volunteering throughout the games. The whole ethos of the event also supports our Wellbeing programme and the promotion of healthy living. We look forward to cheering on the athletes next summer.”

2nd Annual Michael Danino Award Set for December The Gibraltar Live Music Society (GLMS) is pleased to announce that the Michael Danino Award will return for its 2nd Annual and take place on Friday 14th December 2018. The aim of the award is for the GLMS to present it to the best overall musician from Gibraltar’s music scene. Last year’s recipient was James Montegriffo, who sadly passed away last April. This year the system will work

differently and the GLMS will leave it all in the hands of the musicians that form part of the scene to vote via a private poll. More details will be available very soon via the GLMS’ official Facebook page; http://www. facebook.com/giblivemusic The GLMS will also like to thank The Hunter Group for once again sponsoring the award and to Gibraltar Crystal for designing the trophy.

The Marbella based artist commented that he was, “delighted with exhibiting in such a stunning location and receiving the reaction of the public to his works”.

Sir Rowland Hill, the father of modern postal services and the man responsible for the first ever stamp, the Penny Black, had envisaged roadside letter boxes for London as early as 1840. Wall boxes were already in use at some post offices in England, built into the walls, and some form of letterbox were already in use in France, Belgium and Germany. The first official box is claimed by the Catholic Church at Castel Candolfo, with a date of 1820. The Wakefield Post Office, with a date of 1809, disputes this. In any event, British pillar bo-

A similar box from the same year still stands at Barnes’ Cross, Bishop’s Caundle, in Dorset. It is the oldest box still in use in mainland Britain. Anthony Trollope was a welltravelled man and, in 1858,

conducted postal surveys in Egypt, the Holy Land, Malta, Gibraltar and Spain. It was he that recommended pillar boxes for Gibraltar. Three were originally ordered. One was positioned in the town area, close to the Garrison Library at Governor’s Parade. The other two were intended primarily for the military garrison and located in the South District of Gibraltar; one in the guardhouse at New Mole Parade and the other at Europa Road, near the Windmill Hill junction. Regrettably, none of the three has survived. These pillar boxes came into use on 22 December 1858. The postmen who carried out the delivery of mail emptied them before returning to the Post Office.

Gibraltar’s current, oldest, operational box was sited outside the Angry Friar Public House but moved to outside the Court House, at Main Street, on 10 October 2014. This was as a result of refurbishments to No 6 Convent Place. Gibraltar’ oldest surviving box, however, was requested by Mr Thomas Hunter, who was appointed to take over the Post Office from 7th October 1899 to 1st January 1900 during the absence of the then Postmistress, Miss Margaret Cresswell. Mr Hunter recommended a letter box for the junction of Flat Bastion Road and Prince Edward’s Road. The proposal was approved on 25 January 1900. The box, a W T Allen & Company (London), Type C, small wall box (1881-1904) was replaced in 1994 by a George VI lamp box, inserted into the wall.

In terms of hours spent drawing and colouring how much time did you put into the project including writing and editing etc It took about a year and a half to do all the illustrations and writing. My husband helped me with writing, editing, ideas and details How has life in Canada affected your ties to the Rock if at all It has not affected my ties apart from the separation. Social media has now enabled me to be in constant contact with my family and friends. Before that it was difficult, only letters, visits and phone calls.

Text by Joe Adambery

Brenda Smith, who emigrated to Canada over forty years ago and who has always kept in touch with family here, has written and illustrated a book on her childhood memories of Gibraltar. The book, which is richly illustrated with her memories, is being sold at the Gibraltar Heritage Trust bookshop. All proceeds of the book will go to the local Alzheimer’s and Dementia Society because it was written in memory of her aunt Paddy Alcantara. Already a cheque for £3,400 has been presented to the society before Brenda went back home to Canada. During her two week visit here when Brenda came to launch it, she was kept busy signing many copies of it as it attracted a lot of interest and she got plenty of press and TV coverage of the book when she was signing it in different locations across the Rock. Brenda was a nurse here many years ago and is a geriatric nurse in Canada where she keeps most of the old ‘Llanito’ traditions alive just like she never left. Globe magazine spoke to her briefly about her inspiration and the process to get into print. 80 GLOBE MAGAZINE

How did the idea come about and when did you start to put it together? The idea came about when chatting with my cousins on Facebook about our childhood. I started doing drawings and they became popular. People started asking to add things and suggesting I published a book. Was it always going to be based on your illustrations or was that after you had written down your memories. It was always going to be based on the illustrations. They came first.

While his influences are diverse, Benjamin remains true to his passion for Gibraltar, its streets, its people, its waters and …the Rock itself!

Space 92 Gallery at 92 Irish Town has staged the first-ever exhibition of portraits and landscapes by the Gibraltarian artist Benjamin Hassan, another ‘Made in Gibraltar’ gem.

Space 92 wishes to celebrate Benjamin Hassan’s paintings and pay honour to his talents through a collection of portraits, landscapes and seascapes. The exhibition also presents a theme dear to Benjamin’s heart, Judaica with some very rare liturgical scenes of the Gibraltar Jewish community. ‘Classics’ will bring together many of Benjamin Hassan’s best portraits spanning his entire career and from collections around the world.

Benjamin was born and raised in the heart of Gibraltar’s town centre and has travelled the world in search of both inspiration and training. He obtained a degree in visual Arts at Toronto’s York University, has tasted the Middle Eastern and Judaica influences from Israel and learned rigour in the museums of UK. The quality of his work is testament to his perfectionism, with the technique employed in his portraits and landscapes making Benjamin one of Gibraltar’s premier artists, a classic. Respected by many, he has been inundated with commissions for official portraits by many influential people. No wrinkle, no pearl, no wave or 84 GLOBE MAGAZINE

FOCUS ON: Mar de las Pampas

Text by Joe Adambery Two Argentinian themed restaurants sit side by side on the strip at Chatham Counterguard and one of them is specialising in fish dishes. They are sister restaurants, who come under charismatic Argentinian chef Jose Vuoto popularly known as ‘Colo’ due to his ginger hair and English looking features. They have been cross – trading successfully for the last four months. In practice that means that you can choose fish dishes in the Argentinian Grill and grill dishes in their fish place next door. That’s a neat arrangement as they both share the same kitchen and the same head chef, but in ‘Mar de las Pampas’, the old Blue Anchor premises, some of the staff come from the previous ‘La Mamela’ regime and that carries a longstanding ‘claim to fame’ for fish lovers of the Rock of Gibraltar. I sit down to chat to ‘Colo’ and his Spanish chef Maribel, who specialises in fish. ‘Colo’ kicks off the chat as we sip on excellent coffee.

but initially we wanted to expand ‘La Pampa de Santa Rosa’; however, the local directors opted to carry on with a fish restaurant here as the venue was already established. At ‘Mar de Las Pampas’ we do great fish in a variety of dishes like grilled, fried, and baked in the popular Spanish ways, but my chef Maribel can explain that better than me” says ‘Colo’ gracefully giving way to his ‘simpatica cocinera.” Maribel: “We have Lubina, Pargo and Dorada, which mainly go very well as grilled, we also have Salmonetitos, Boquerones, Rosada and others. The most popular choices are Lubina (sea bass) and Dorada (Gilthead bream), which we can also do ‘a la Roteña’ baked with herbs and potatoes. We need a bit more time for preparation of that but our starters are plentiful and varied.”

“Here you can eat from ‘La Pampa de Santa Rosa’s’ menu and also fish, it’s like a fusion of choices. ‘La Pampa de Santa

blem. We get ‘fresh locally caught Tuna’ when in season and that is popular as grilled steaks and also as ‘encebollao’ (cooked with onions) or ‘en tomate’ (in tomato sauce). Tuna is an excellent fish and always very popular with our clientele. From the best established dishes of owner Elio Victory’s ‘La Mamela’ days, we have ‘Gambas al pil pil’ and ‘Gambas gratinadas’ or ‘Gambas con espinaca,’ the latter one of the most memorable signature starter dishes whose recipe is a closely guarded secret! Maribel’s mother was in La Mamela in the 90’s so the recipe is still in the family. Here in ‘Mar de las Pampas’, we have a team of seven and a team of eight in the premises next door

Mrs Europe 2018 12 lovely ladies graced the Alameda Open Air Theatre stage competing for the ‘European’ crown held by Gibraltar since 2017. They came from one end of Europe to beyond European borders in the east...All of them looking great! Text by Richard Cartwright

There was a bit of a late start due to ‘technical difficulties’ but it eventually got off to good start with the ‘Mrs’ coming on stage from the front – as opposed to coming down from the back of the stage. Twelve contestants making their way to the central area in their national costumes accompanied by very young, perhaps, future contestants – not unlike soccer teams’ walk-ons at football matches - to warm applause from the audience (Mrs Gibraltar wore a fabulous outfit I’d never seen before). The setting for the evening’s event was simple with the participants’ national flags displayed on the ‘rocks’ behind the ladies as they stood facing the crowd...’Mrs’ from The Netherlands, Benelux, Russia, Serbia, Portugal, Estonia, Bulgaria, Spain, Northern Spain (or North Spain), Canary Islands, UK and Gibraltar performed the usual routine of strolling across the stage and onto the catwalk or runway, which gave the audience another opportunity to clap them on their way, accompanied by the habitual cries of, ‘guapa’ as their favourites slowly came closer. Coming nearer to the panel of judges also provides those given the unenviable task to choose a winner, with an extra opportunity to decide, who to vote for and is worthy of the Mrs 2018 90 GLOBE MAGAZINE

crown - the judges had already met the girls on previous nights for other stages of the competition. The panel of judges for this contest was made up of Mrs Europe officials, a make-up artist, former, international model and local businessman Luisandro

Moreno, Mrs Gibraltar 2015 Serika Garcia, 2017 winner, Megan Danino, and ‘Chair’ for the night was Mrs Europe 2017, Davinia Baglietto. Mark and Angel fronted the show for ‘Ideal Productions’

once more, clad in their Marble Arc suits. This event, unlike other pageants was stripped down to the minimum with no choreographed routines or interviews and just three walkons, one of which had the ladies parading in outfits provided by Flash Boutique located in the ICC. For obvious reasons, there could be no interviews because of language barriers, which would also apply to handing out instructions for routines in English or Spanish only, and not being understood by more than half the contestants! Last year’s Mrs Europe, Davinia Baglietto was welcomed on stage by the presenters and gave a heartfelt speech. She repeated the message that, ‘Independent woman can achieve their goals’ thanking in particular her two daughters for their unstinting support, one of whom responded with a recorded message, on behalf of her sister also, expressing their love for mum! In between walk-ons entertainment was provided by the ever faithful Yalta Pons and her team, now to be known as ‘Yalta Dance Studio’ dropping the ‘Urban Dance’ title, which was more akin to hip-hop and street dance groups and routines - YDS work-outs these days lean towards more contemporary movements, which once again came to life twice on the night.

Their second appearance was a feast of illumination as, what I would describe, glowing fairies and glow-worms and multi-coloured-costumed, friendly creatures brightened up the darkened stage and theatre...Good, but a little drawn out, I felt. Ashley Baglietto was good – he is a good singer and Dani Rios gave us the vocals too, inviting the youngsters in the audience to dance up on stage. Both singers gave us two songs, just right, as the night wore on. It was indeed a long evening stretching the event to almost three hours. And so the presentation of awards began...and there were many! The ‘Woman with a Purpose’ and ‘Beauty’ awards went to Mrs UK, ‘YGTV’, ‘Charity’ and ‘Photogenic’ prizes to The Netherlands, ‘Charm’ to Spain, ‘Perfection’ to Portugal, ‘Businesswoman’ to Siberia, ‘Best Evening Dress’ award went to Bulgaria,, ‘National Costume’ to Gibraltar, ‘Tolerance’ to Benelux, ‘Best Performance’ to North Spain, ‘E- Vote’ and ‘Talent’ to the Canary Islands, ‘Sport’ went to Russia and the ‘Mother of Europe’ prize was received by, Estonia! Quite a list but it didn’t

end there as there were more prizes for the ‘Princesses.’ 4th Princess was awarded to Mrs Benelux, 3rd to Mrs Bulgaria, 2nd Mrs Russia and the 1st Princess award went to Mrs Gibraltar. We then had a Mrs European Union Award handed over to Mrs Netherlands - I thought that was just a slip of the tongue and was really meant for this year’s chosen Mrs Europe 2018, but I was wrong! Mrs Europe was in fact next, and that went to... Mrs Canary Islands, the announcement to that effect producing a roar from the crowd. The sum total meaning every lady received a prize...and with the handing over of the throne, the evening came to a close.

Just like the Eurovision Song Contest, the winning country is obliged to hold the event the following year, we’re told, and as Davinia Baglietto took the crown last year in Russia it was up to Gibraltar - and ‘Ideal Productions’ in particular – to stage the show this year. An expensive undertaking with not a lot of funds to support such a task, I would imagine. With contestants having to be entertained and accommodated and other costs, the organisers no doubt had their work cut out and I’m sure a lot of running around must’ve been the order of the day for this demanding project. Consequently I got the impression not a lot of time for preparation and

rehearsal was had with last minute adjustments still apparent on the night, just before the start of the show. Silent gaps with music and other bits not on cue, and also, Mark and Angel didn’t seem to have much to say at this show, which made for long pauses between speech and I believe they could have given us some info re the contestants as they undertook their final walk-on towards the end of the show, or at other times throughout the evening instead of repeating the countries the ladies represented three and four times each...Who were those ladies behind their countries’ names? Constructive critiques I feel, not costing the producers and presenters anything, so maybe next time. I’ve said before these guys have their hearts in the right place when endeavouring to give of their best and I think they do well, but there are loose ends that need tightening up and a need for ‘smooth running’ to be at the forefront of their productions. It’s a lot of work and I know it’s not easy, but it needs to happen. The bottom line however is, the audience loved the show...and that’s what counts also!

Alkaline Habitat

The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine 1931: Otto Warburg (1883-1970) Noble prize Winner Dr. Otto H. Warburg, who discovered the real cause of cancer, has found that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency. Oxygen deficiency leads to an acidic state in the human body. Dr. Warburg also found that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state. Warburg’s early research was in the polypeptide field. At Heidelberg, he worked on the process of oxidation. His special interest in the investigation of vital processes by physical and chemical methods led to attempts to relate these processes to phenomena of the inorganic world. His methods involved detailed studies on the assimilation of carbon dioxide in plants, the metabolism of tumors, and the chemical constituent of the oxygen transferring respiratory ferment. Warburg was never a teacher, and he has always been grateful for his opportunities to devote his whole time to scientific research. His later research at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute led to the discovery that the flavins and the nicotinamides were the active groups of the hydrogen-transferring enzymes. This, together with the iron-oxygenase discovered earlier, has given a complete account of the oxidations and reductions in the living world. For his discovery of

96 GLOBE MAGAZINE

the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme, the Nobel Prize was awarded to him in 1931. This discovery has opened up new ways in the fields of cellular metabolism and cellular respiration. He has shown, among other things, that cancer cells can live and develop, even in the absence of oxygen. “All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. “Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.” Our diet plays a vital role in maintaining proper pH levels in the body. PH balance is the balance of acid and alkaline in all fluids and cells throughout your body. Your body must balance the blood’s pH levels at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365 in order to survive. Unfortunately, the typical western diet consists primarily of toxic and acid-forming foods like processed sugars, refined grains, genetically modified organisms

etc. This leads to ‘unhealthy’ acidic pH. An imbalanced pH can interrupt cellular activities and functions. Excessive acidic pH can lead to many serious health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and heartburn. If you keep your body in an acidic state for a long period of time, it can drastically accelerate aging. Robert O. Young in The pH Miracle, says, that most health problems arise from being acidic. This is because parasites, bad bacteria, viruses, and candida overgrowth thrive in acidic environments. But an alkaline environment neutralizes bacteria and other pathogens. Therefore, maintaining pH balance is one of the important tools to optimizing your health. HOME REMEDIES FOR ACIDITY Ingredients: 1/3 tsp. baking soda - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar • Method: Mix everything together. The acid/base combination will immediately begin to fizz. Keep adding baking soda until the fizz stops and then fill the glass with 8 oz. water. Drink all at once; this home remedy will help neutralizes the pH and create an alkaline-forming environment in your body. It will help with stomach acid and reduce acidosis.

How World War I Shaped th the 20 Century and Beyond World War I ended at 11am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in 1918. Germany signed an armistice (an agreement for peace and no more fighting) that had been prepared by Britain and France As the guns fell silent in 1918, World War I victors all agreed on one thing: Germany had to pay. How much was a matter of debate but there was never any doubt that the post-war settlement enshrined in the Treaty of Versailles was going to be punitive.

to the peacemakers alone as they sought to remedy the ills that drove Europe to war in 1914 in the first place. The settlements they reached were not perfect and contained potential seeds of further conflict but also offered the hope for a better future.

The peacemakers knew their main responsibility was to integrate Germany into an international framework permitting it appropriate power and influence without overwhelming its neighbours. They hoped a democratic Germany, accepting its defeat, would concede that the settlement was just and execute the treaty.

A century on, the world lives with the consequences of a peace accord that, even at the time, was criticised as making another war inevitable in Europe, a continent, which had dominated the world for centuries. Economist J.M. Keynes, then a British Treasury official, resigned rather than be associated with a treaty he denounced as “Carthaginian” in its harshness. French Marshal Ferdinand Foch judged it “not so much a peace as a 20-year armistice”.

Britain and France were left to execute a settlement that the Americans had heavily influenced but

now reneged upon. Britain had favoured modifying the terms in the hope of reconciling Germany, France, however, preferred rigid enforcement to nullify German power. As a result they veered bet-

ween conciliation and coercion, effectively stymying both policies, contributing, in part, to an outcome in 1939 that neither wanted. Yet the responsibility for this new catastrophe cannot be attributed

Finally, the Ottoman Empire’s collapse also resulted in the killing of up to 1.5 million Armenians in what they steadfastly argue was a full-blown genocide. Events in Russia cast a long shadow over the rest of Europe, generating a fear of upheaval that helped accelerate reforms while also inspiring other revolutionaries, including the nascent fascist movement that was soon to seize power in Italy. Worker uprisings in Germany and Hungary immediately after the war were crushed or collapsed internally. But waves of militancy in other countries -- in the Fiat factories of Turin, Italy or the shipyards of Scotland’s Red Clydeside delivered major advances in terms of working conditions and the rights of trade unions to represent their members.

The “war to end all wars” turned out to be the opposite. By ensuring Germany’s economic ruin and political humiliation, the post-war settlement provided fertile ground for the rise of Nazism and its horrors. Beyond Germany, the slew of peace treaties redrew the map of Europe, carving up vanquished empires and creating as many future conflicts as new countries and borders from the Baltic States to Turkey, via Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Just as important, the war served as an incubator for the 1917 Russian Revolution. Against a backdrop of desperate food shortages, military failure left the Tsarist state crippled and vulnerable to an assault by Lenin’s Bolsheviks, who then established the Soviet Union as an authoritarian Communist state. Disastrous agricultural policies resulted in more than three million people dying in the famine of the early 1930s, millions more under the Great Terror unleashed by Lenin’s successor, Joseph Stalin. By the mid-1930s, conditions were in place for the post-World War II division of Europe. That in turn produced the Cold War and its associated splitting of the rest of the planet into Western or Soviet spheres of influence and an unstable global equilibrium

that helped fuel countless conflicts across the developing world. While the political prestige of the main victors Britain and France was at a height in 1919, it did not hide the blossoming on the international stage of the United States, which would become the main economic, military and political power in the Western camp in the following decades. World War I also left a lasting

mark on the Middle East. By encouraging an Arab revolt, Britain helped precipitate the collapse of the Germany-allied Ottoman Empire. A secular Turkey emerged and Britain and France assumed post-war control of much of the Arab world. By then Britain had also made clear, through the 1917 Balfour Declaration, its support for the principle of a Jewish state on land it had pledged to the Arabs.

More broadly, the aftermath of World War I was a period of rapid social progress in much of the industrialised world. This was most notable in terms of women’s right to vote, which, in the popular memory, is often seen as having been “earned” through female participation in war-related activities. Less obvious positive legacies of a war, which left millions maimed or traumatised, were greater social acceptance of the disabled and the destigmatization of mental illness.

The Famous Grouse Trophy Category 3 (handicap 23 and above): Lee Scares took the runner up prize with 30 points and the winner with 35 points was Nicholas Farr.

The 2018-19 Med Golf season moved on to the second event at Almena on Sunday 7th October 2018. The Famous Grouse Trophy was played on the Los Alcornoques and Los Lagos courses, two of the three sets of nine holes designed by Dave Thomas at Almenara and opened in 1998, After a delicious breakfast of egg and bacon wrap with coffee, 47 players set out at 9 a.m. on a warm morning with virtually no wind, a rare treat for October and ideal conditions for golf. The course was in good condition and set up to create a real challenge with some “interesting” pin positions that, not only put a premium on approach shots to the greens, but also demanded good putting skills to find the hole. Matthew Heath, a golf professional working in the local area set up a “Pro-Challenge” on Hole 5 on Los Alcornoques. Every player had a chance of a prize by hitting the ball nearer to the pin than his ball. The champion of the day, winner of the Famous Grouse Trophy and
