One For The Kids- Rock Cirk: Christmas and the New Year are the times for circus but the Teatro Cervantes in Malaga City has a very special one aimed at younger audiences entitled Rock Cirk.
This show which is presented by just five musicians and acrobats combines rock music with agility, acrobatics and fun so for just under an hour, audiences can enjoy a really exciting show which combines expertise from two quite different areas.
It’s presented by the Malaga based Rolabola Theatre Group which won the National Circus Award 2017 and has created a number of original shows over its lifetime.
The show starts at 6pm on January 4 and tickets cost just €9 from the theatre box office, so for a fun day out just before the Three Kings arrive, Rock Cirk may a great option.

Dental Treatment Recommendation: Clinica Europa, Torrox Costa. I needed a quick fix for a few teeth I had broken off at gum level. I walked in unannounced, was examined, stabilized and given an appt for the following day. I was seen at the appt time, no waiting, and had the difficult extractions painlessly completed in 15 mins!

The Dark Side of On-Line Dating and Social Media- Sextortion: Parents take notice, this is happening to many teens in Spain. Cybercriminals are blackmailing victims with intimate images, which they obtain via private online chats. There are “two types of attackers,” according to the experts. On the one hand there are ex-partners or people who have had some kind of relationship with the victim. On the other, those who rely on the anonymity of the internet and pose as someone else to gain the victim’s trust.

EU Panic Over New Competitor- Britain!: European leaders warned Friday that Britain could become a formidable rival, just hours after a big victory by Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s conservatives all but sealed the UK’s Brexit divorce. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that Britain would be an economic “competitor at our door” after it leaves the EU and French President Emmanuel Macron saw a threat that London would become an “unfair competitor”.
This reflects concern that Britain could become a kind of “Singapore on Thames”, a trading hub where multinationals can gain access to the EU’s huge market without playing by its rules. Others have suggested that this will encourage USA/Britain/Canada/Australia/Japan to join together in an Union like the BRICS countries, resulting in the EU countries losing any competitive edge they gained by joining the EU.

YouTube’s Artificial Intelligence Powered Content Filters Block Hundreds Of Google Accounts For Using Too Many Emojis!: Users report they have had their entire Google accounts suspended, including Gmail, Google Docs, YouTube Channels, etc., simply for using too many emojis. Students who have been blocked from their Google Docs and Gmail accounts are furious as these are central to education these days. YouTube claims to be correcting the situation. However, this demonstrates how you are at the mercy of big tech when you rely on their tools.

EU sides with Americans in Europe in fight against US tax schemes:
Brussels asks the US government to ease their complicated tax policies that are putting 300,000 US residents in Europe in a financial squeeze.
For years the Accidental Americans Association (AAA) has battled to be exempt from a tax scheme imposed by the US requiring that all Americans file annual tax returns to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – even when the person has not lived on US soil since they were a child. In recent years the US has made renouncing your US citizenship more difficult and very expensive for people who consider themselves “tax hostages”.

News & Articles

Boris Johnson appears on course to secure a crushing majority of 86, and take Britain out of the EU in January, after a shock exit poll showed his party would win 368 seats in Thursday’s general election. That would be the biggest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher’s third election victory in 1987; and mark a dramatic repudiation of Jeremy Corbyn’s offer of “real change” for Britain.

Train Strike: Renfe workers have called a strike for Friday December 20th on the day that tens of thousands of travellers head home for the holidays. Minimum services have not yet been set by the Ministry of Fomento (Infrastructure and transport) so it is not yet known how many trains will be cancelled.

Warning to HELIX IPTV Users: Popular ‘pirate’ IPTV provider Helix Hosting appears to be facing a crisis after someone claiming to be a hacker posted a message on the service’s homepage.

One For The Kids- Rock Cirk: Christmas and the New Year are the times for circus but the Teatro Cervantes in Malaga City has a very special one aimed at younger audiences entitled Rock Cirk.
This show which is presented by just five musicians and acrobats combines rock music with agility, acrobatics and fun so for just under an hour, audiences can enjoy a really exciting show which combines expertise from two quite different areas.
It’s presented by the Malaga based Rolabola Theatre Group which won the National Circus Award 2017 and has created a number of original shows over its lifetime.
The show starts at 6pm on January 4 and tickets cost just €9 from the theatre box office, so for a fun day out just before the Three Kings arrive, Rock Cirk may a great option.

Recommendations

Lovely vegan restaurant in Torre Del Mar: Himalaya Salon Vegan. We went on plant based diet recently and feel blessed there’s such a high quality vegan restaurant in the area. Can definitely also recommend for non-vegan eaters.
As everything is homemade, organic and vegan, you get what you pay for, we shared nachos, had a burger each which came with nice salad and some oven baked fries, chocolate cake and drinks, 53€ (for 2 persons).
Ambience is really accomplished and waiter lovely.

Agaves under attack – reply: The attack of the Agaves sounds a bit like the beetle (picudo rojo) that attacks certain palms and which also lays white grubs which eat the core and produce a vile stench, eventually killing the tree. There is a series of products from Fertinyect claiming to treat all sorts of similar problems (https://www.fertinyect.com/tratamientos/), such as the processionary caterpillar (which we are currently trying, so no idea yet if it works).
Good luck. Nick/Jete, Granada 609 706 210

Bull Farm: Dear digamigos! My friend, the Dutch sculptor Peter Engelen, would like to study – observe- Spanish Bulls at a bullfarm. Does anyone have any contacts of bull farms? I include a picture of a bronze he made portraying a Dutch bull.
If so please contact me: Julia dot Horzinek at gmail dot com or via WhatsApp +34694448600 Julia/Nerja PIC
