How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your photos into a single collage photo by using this free (you need to provide email) online collage creation tool. It’s very easy to use, give it a try! https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/ Free OnLine Photo Collage Maker Update: The Fotor.com website has been buggy lately. For an alternative, that did not even ask for my email to use it, try https://www.photocollage.com/
This may even be the better option now. -Ed.
CORONA VIRUS HOTLINE: Information hotline for those who suspect they may have the coronavirus. Anyone experiencing symptoms should stay at home and dial 900 400 061 or 955 545 060 – and only call 112 in an emergency.
When you need reliable info consult The Citizens Advice Bureau Spain at https://www.citizensadvice.org.es/…or the website or Facebook page of your local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). I suggest you check it daily.
Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. I am too busy to keep track of partial submissions in different emails and patch them together. Your cooperation is appreciated. -Editor

Interpreter: After nearly three months moratorium on doctor and hospital appointments, we’re in business again, to some extent. There are still some cancellations with dialogue, by phone with the doctor, but on the whole, it’s business as usual.
So…. you may need an interpreter .
I am she !!
Fifteen years working in the hospital as a volunteer, and the last ten years with my own clients, gives me all the experience needed to help you when you are talking to your doctor or specialist.
I charge a flat, reasonable fee. I don’t charge by the hour.
Do give me a call, even if it’s only for information. I may be able to help.

Please be careful about believing crisis info posts on Fakebook, Social Media and even mainline news sources: There are tons of hoaxes circulating. If there is no verifiable source provided with the info, while it may contain some degree of truth (as do all good lies) you should always have a healthy degree of scepticism. -Ed.
Pet Travel between EU and UK: Pet owners warned about four-month waiting period. At present the EU Pet Passport scheme allows for fairly frictionless travel for four-legged companions but that will no longer apply to the UK once the transition period ends.
From January, the UK needs to become a listed country in order to keep restrictions on pet travel light. But with just five months to go this has not been agreed, and the UK still needs to thrash out a raft of other agreements with the EU, as well as the small matter of a trade deal.
The UK government’s Brexit web page is therefore now telling pet owners: “To make sure your pet is able to travel from the UK to the EU from 1 January 2021, you should contact your vet at least 4 months before travelling to get the latest advice.” Source: https://www.thelocal.es/20200715/pet-owners-told-to-allow-four-months-preparation-time-for-travel-between-eu-and-uk-from-january
Costa del Sol’s nightlife finds itself under serious threat: The Junta of Andalucia will be considering what move to take next to limit the spread of the virus. This could potentially mean all nightclubs and late-night cocktail bars closing at 10:00 p.m. as has been done in Gandia, Costa Blanca, if not a complete closure.

Researchers say blood test can detect cancer years before symptoms: A team led by researchers in China say the non-invasive blood test – called PanSeer – detects cancer in 95% of individuals who have no symptoms but later receive a diagnosis. “We demonstrated that five types of cancer can be detected through a DNA methylation-based blood test up to four years before conventional diagnosis,” the team wrote in the journal Nature Communications.
They said the test was unlikely to be predicting cancer but rather picking up on cancerous growths that had not yet caused symptoms or been spotted by other methods. Full story: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jul/21/researchers-unveil-test-that-can-detect-cancer-years-before-symptoms
New Android Malware Now Steals Passwords For Non-Banking Apps Also: Chief among its features are stealing user credentials, intercepting SMS messages, hijacking notifications, and even recording keystrokes from the targeted apps, in addition to being capable of hiding from antivirus software.
“The target list of non-financial apps contains famous applications such as but not limited to Tinder, TikTok, PlayStation, Facebook, Instagram, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter, Grinder, VK, Netflix, Uber, eBay, Amazon, Reddit and Tumblr,” the researchers told The Hacker News.
There is no user fix, it is up to the banking groups to ensure the integrity of the apps they provide. Full story: https://thehackernews.com/2020/07/android-password-hacker.html
