The aim of the group is to stimulate peoples interest and understanding of the people of Spain and to gain a knowledge and understanding of Spain’s History through reading and discussion; to develop an interest in the past; to learn about significant events in Spanish History; to visit places of historical interest; archaeological sites; museums and archives and to learn about the different religions and cultures which have played a part in Spanish History.
Our Speaker for September will continue with his talks on the Romans the second talk will be on pre-islam times and the rise of Islam, beginning with the life of Muhammad as well the early history of the caliphates and there journey to the Iberian Peninsular.
We will also be discussing our trip in October to the Medina Azahara (the shinning city) which lies just outside of Cordoba. The Medina Azahara is the ruins of a vast fortified Moorish medieval palace built by Abd-ar-Rahman III (912–961) c936 the first Umayyad Caliph of Cordoba. The Medina is located just west of the city of Cordoba. It was a medieval Moorish town and the de facto capital of Al Andalus. The city included ceremonial reception halls, mosques, administrative and government offices, gardens, a mint, workshops, barracks, residences and baths.

DoctorLaptop 1-Week Special, My famous computer “Clean & Tuneup” service only €40 (reg €50): If you rely on your computer and want it running at peak performance, an annual professional servicing is necessary. You wouldn’t drive your car till it runs out of oil before servicing it, would you? Just like with your car, a inexpensive, regular servicing will prevent the expensive repairs a neglected unit will eventually incur. I do the most comprehensive cleaning and tune-up possible: verify all System files replacing any found to be corrupt, test all hardware and do hard disk sector repairs if needed, use 5 tool malware/adware/spyware removal protocol, update Windows+all drivers+programs, install free ransomware protection, and optimize your settings for fastest overall performance. Then I clean the fan, cooling channel, screen and keyboard of all the nasties they collect. Job usually completed overnight. For Windows & Macs. Until Sep. 01 you can get 20% off, only €40! Heavily infected comps or those showing error messages need a repair, not a maintenance service. Hard disks of 1000Gb or more add €10 and may require 2 days to complete.
Contact: doctorlaptop @ protonmail.com or call 675 993 069 (no calls before 11am, missed calls returned asap). All work by appointment only.

The Phoenix Club: Our October mini break this year is to the Hanging City of Cuenca, Logrono and Avila in the north of Spain. Dates? 17th – 21st October 5 days, 4 nights.
-Cuenca is in the mountains of east-central Spain. Founded by Moors, it retains its Historic Walled Town with cobbled streets and medieval castle ruins. Perched on a  spur high above the Júcar and Huécar rivers, it’s most famous for its well-preserved “casas colgadas,” or hanging houses. Cantilevered over the Huécar gorge, they seemingly cling to the cliffs’ edges.
-Avila is sometimes called the Town of Stones and Saints, claims to have the highest number of Romanesque and gothic churches per capita in Spain. It has complete and prominent medieval town walls, built in the Romanesque style.  It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.
-Logroño was an old settlement, first of the Romans, under the name of Vareia, a commercial port, and then of the Celt. The region was finally annexed to Castile. Logroño was the main seat of the Basque Witch Trials, part of the Spanish Inquisition.
€350pp based on 2 sharing. Includes coach fare, B&B accommodation, Day trip to Salamanca, Guides in Cuenca and Salamanca and drivers gratuity.

Look for the turquoise painted building and you can park with no hassle. They are open mornings and afternoons. The centre is a peaceful haven with friendly staff who make you very welcome and instantly at your ease. You can call Tracy on 642740109.

At Chiki’s with U3A and Norma: Plans for this Fall. Hello dear friends of Chiki’s Bio Restaurant! We had liked to thank you all for your support throughout last spring.

These activities will be enjoying the collaboration of Chiki and U3A (the University of the Third Age: http://www.u3aaxarquia.com).

All of Chiki’s management and members of U3A join me in wishing you a safe and fun ending to your summer.
*(CCC): A group of us meets to work on an individual/personal manual Project (sewing, embroidery, knitting, collage, writing, etc…). No fees; just join us for a couple of hours focussing on your Project and order a drink by the enchanting sea!! Please reply to norma2kk@aol.com before 9/10. Norma in Velez.

Recommendations Pool Pump Repair: A Big Thank You!
Many thanks to all those Digamites who responded to my request for help, too many to mention individually. Most of you told me to change the capacitor, and this indeed was the problem. I purchased an equivalent one at my local ferreteria for the grand price of 2.50 euros, a cheap repair indeed!
What a wonderful thing DigameXtra is! Hats off to Naythan who has made DigameXtra look so professional and much easier to read.
Once again thanks to all who responded.

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #70: Windows 10 computers must be kept updated to avoid serious problems. This is NOT OPTIONAL. Everyone should be on v. 1803. If you are still on a previous version you should update now. Failure to do so can cause programs and apps to quit working correctly, can cause slow performance, inability to start (User Profile Not Found errors are common if you fall behind) and other issues.
How to tell what version of Windows 10 you have: press Windows Key + R, type “winver” into the Run dialog box, and press Enter.

The second line in the “About Windows” box tells you which version and build of Windows 10 you have. Remember, the version number is in the form YYMM—so 1607 means the 7th month of 2016. A couple of lines down, you’ll see the edition of Windows 10 you’re using— Windows 10 Pro in our example.
To check for updates now: Select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. Restart when prompted. Then repeat process until Windows Update says your device is up to date, “you have all the updates that are currently available”.
Happy Computing! DoctorLaptop’s Computer Services. I repair what others can only replace! doctorlaptop@protonmail.com

Recommendations

If you asked for a recommendation and are pleased with the work from the suggested provider be sure to share your experience in the Recommendations Section!

Pool Pump Not Starting: When a pool pump fails to start, check that the fan at the rear of the pump is turning freely. If so then it is likely to be the capacitor which is located under the cover where you connect the power. This is cheap to replace. Make sure power is off before doing it. Regards, Chris gladstone.chris @ gmail.com

Pump Advice: On top of your pump is a small box, open it and inside you will find electronic components. One of these will be tubular, almost certainly grey with two wires coming out of it. It will be connected to a terminal block. They vary in size from about 80mm long downwards and about 30mm diameter or less. This is the Start/run condenser. It will have it’s rating on it, remove it and take it to your local ferretera for comparison. If they don’t have they will know where to get. I am fairly certain this will be your problem simple to do and less than 10€. Mine was 7€

Air Con: Just had the car aircon re-gassed by Chris Partington (649307966) and would highly recommend him. Great service, reasonable rates and aircon now cooling properly which is great in this weather.
