COVID-19

Andalucía teeters on the edge of the Covid-19 ‘low-risk’ threshold: The region’s cumulative incidence rate stands at 51.5 per 100,000 inhabitants, falling by 3.4 in 24 hours and 13.7 in seven days.
Seville is again the province that has registered the most positives with 75, followed by Malaga with 67, Almeria (51), Huelva (43), Granada (25), Cadiz (23), Cordoba (21) and Jaén with 16.
Three deaths have been registered in Malaga province, Seville has added two and Granada one. The IECA has made an adjustment in the death count and Cadiz and Jaén have one less death than the day before.

Up to 23 Andalusian health districts have reached the zero alert level for Covid: {Translation} Updated: 09/29/2021 8:11p.m.
-Three Andalusian provinces, Cadiz, Cordoba and Jaen, will have this Thursday all their health districts in Covid incidence figures at the level of “zero” alert and may benefit from the end of all restrictions on hours and capacity in stores, hotels, leisure and cultural activities from this Friday.
-The territorial committees of Covid Alerts of Andalusia will decide this Thursday on the epidemiological situation of each of the 33 health districts of the community. In general, all those with an incidence rate of less than 50 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants at 14 days will drop from level 1 alert – in which all the districts of the community are now – to level “zero”. This is not the only parameter that will be evaluated by the health committees, which also assess the epidemiological situation with the 7-day incidence rate, the incidence in the population over 65 years of age, the percentages of traceability of infections, the hospitalization rates and the vaccination coverage of the municipalities of each district.
-At “zero” level. As of September 29, in addition to the districts of Cadiz, Cordoba and Jaen, all the health districts of Granada, with the exception of the district of Granada capital, which has an incidence rate of 54.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The Sierra de Huelva-Andévalo, Serranía de Málaga and the Seville districts of Aljarafe, East, North and South meet the “zero” level records.
-The province of Almería will not be able to benefit from the return to normality, all its districts are above the indicated values and it is the province with the highest average incidence of the whole community by far, with a rate of 93.3 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants.
-As for provincial capitals, Cadiz, Cordoba and Jaen have rates at 14 and 7 days compatible with normality. Malaga is close, at 54 cases; followed by Granada (56), Huelva (60.5), Almeria (71) and Seville (75.9).
-“New normality”. The scale for assessing the risk used by the committee of experts advising the Andalusian Government on the evolution of the pandemic is less restrictive than the one agreed in autumn 2020 between the communities and the Ministry of Health to decide the levels of health alert. According to that model, the “new normal” is considered when a municipality or health district has an incidence rate below 25 cases per 100,000 inhabitants at 14 days and less than 10 cases at 7 days, among other parameters.
-In these circumstances are this Wednesday only four of the 33 Andalusian health districts: Guadalquivir de Córdoba, which has the lowest rate per health district of Andalusia with rates of 17.8 and 4.9 cases respectively; the Sierra de Cádiz (with rates of 23.4 at 14 days and 6.9 a week), Jaén South (24.2 and 9.9) and Granada Northeast, just 6 tenths of 25 cases and two of the 10 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days.
-The entry into level “zero” does not imply that the districts in this situation will not be evaluated weekly in case of an eventual change in the evolution of the pandemic.
-Restrictions. Districts that reach level zero will have no restrictions as of Friday. Districts that remain at level 1 will maintain the current restrictions on hours and capacity for trade and hospitality, but from Thursday will have free capacity in theaters, museums, bullrings, concerts and sports competitions, maintaining the use of masks and greater interpersonal distance.

MALAGA

City Planners Pushing Malaga As “World Hi-Tech Headquarters” Now Discussing Possibility of Integrating Marbella-Antequera-Nerja Into “Smart” SUPERCITY (and eventually all of Andalucia!?!): {Translation, summary}
-Malaga hosts two “a city thrilled by innovation” themed events. The opening this Wednesday at the Trade Fair and Congress Center of Malaga (Fycma) of two events, Greencities, Intelligence and Urban Sustainability -dedicated to the city of the future- and S-Moving, focused on new forms of mobility. The two forums have been held jointly for a couple of years now because of the synergies of the two concepts. As Antonio Gómez-Guillamón, president of the organizing committee of S-Moving and the Malaga-based Aertec, said, “mobility and smart cities coexist together and it is a good idea for them to share the space”.
-Despite being two events with a global vocation and with general debates, the character of the venue, Malaga, as a city that aspires to be on the crest of the wave of ‘smart cities’ and urban mobility, dominated. One example is that of Alfonso Vergara, president of the Metropolis Foundation, a prestigious international organization born at the University of Pennsylvania 23 years ago and dedicated to the creation and dissemination of innovations in the field of cities and territories.
-In his speech – which was the inaugural conference of the two events – Vergara praised Malaga’s potential to be a sustainable, ecological, innovative and livable city. “For example,” he stated, “it has an impressive morphology of the territory, with high areas and plain areas, with ecological corridors; these corridors must be the inspiring elements for the transformation of cities.”
-The president of Fundación Metrópoli referred to the concept of a supercity as one that links the main city with nearby municipalities, with many different and complementary centers, where “to have fun, learn and have contact with nature on a large scale”.
-In the case of Malaga, he cited the Marbella-Antequera-Nerja triangle -which brings together 1.5 million people in a 45-minute journey- as ideal for creating this supercity, where “we move from the classic concept of competitive advantages to another in which the advantages of complementarity prevail”. He admitted that administrative divisions make such collaboration difficult, but “we must have a vision of the future on this scale”. The head of the Metropolis Foundation advocated extending this system of supercities to the whole of Andalusia, as the basis for future development. “The interaction between cities will be the engine of global economy and infrastructures are necessary to complement the strategies of these cities,” he said.
-At the opening ceremony, María Jesús Almazor, CEO of the Cybersecurity and Cloud division of Telefónica Tech, assured that “data will be the one that saves cities; its processing will be fundamental to make smart cities, with more quality and better services”.

US set to declare 23 species extinct, including birds, mussels and a bat: The somber list includes the ivory-billed woodpecker and the Kauai nukupu’u.
The agency is seeking comments from the public on the proposal to delist the species, which include the ivory-billed woodpecker, Bachman’s warbler, eight species of freshwater mussels, eight birds from Hawaii, a flowering plant and the Little Mariana fruit bat that once lived in Guam.
The ivory-billed woodpecker was once the country’s largest bird of its kind. The last confirmed sighting in the US was in 1944 in Louisiana. Bachman’s warbler was a small songbird with a yellow belly that was last seen in the US in 1962.
Eleven of the 23 species are from Hawaii and Guam, “many of which had striking characteristics, such as the long curved beaks of the Kauai akialoa and nukupu’u, the haunting call of the Kauai ‘o’o, and the brilliant colors of the Maui akepa and Molokai creeper,” the Fish & Wildlife Service said. One of those birds, Kauai nukupu’u, was last seen in Hawaii in 1899. Full article: https://www.cnet.com/news/us-set-to-declare-23-species-extinct-including-birds-mussels-and-a-bat/

Pre-planning your funeral is a thoughtful and responsible way to show you care about your family.

Halting Erosion using Vetiver:
From Vetiver Spain in Sayalonga
Our Nursery is open by appointment depending on the current travel restrictions. Please email or call first. We have Moringa seedlings, Organic Moringa powder and Comfrey plants. We also have some local trees and some exotic trees from Africa.
Vetiver is a rapid growing and non-invasive sterile clump grass with a height of 1-2 metres and a root system of 3-4 metres in depth. We have been providing Vetiver throughout the EU for almost 10 years now. We are located in Sayalonga where we can plant year round but our best results by far start in February. The reason is that Vetiver is indigenous to India and Vetiver loves the heat of the summer. Use Vetiver cuttings as mulch around all of your fruit trees. Decomposing Vetiver improves soil quality, keeps the weeds down and the insects away all while helping to maintain soil moisture.
Vetiver is a nutritious and replenishable animal fodder. Horses and pigs love it. We use it in our chicken pens replacing hay because it stops mites.
In the 2 photos below you will see land prepared for Vetiver and the results 2 years later.
We also use Vetiver along driveways and sidewalks. It also makes a great and inexpensive ornamental hedge.
Here is a link to a short video showing the results.
https://youtu.be/rjTmb_LL2uo
We suggest planting now, as this is the BEST time of the year to plant.
To see more images of Vetiver go to this link.

BREAKING NEWS! Andalucía’s Covid Measures Lifted- Half of Andalucía removes all Covid restrictions a year and a half after pandemic outbreak: {Translation} Updated: 28/09/2021 21:35
-Half of Andalusia will be in phase 0 alert for Covid from this Friday. These will be the areas that are in phase 0, those with an incidence of less than 50 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants in 14 days. This has been announced by the President of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, who has appeared after the meeting of the committee of experts advising the Andalusian Government in the management of the pandemic. What does this level 0 mean? Normality. The end of restrictions. Of all those that fall within the competence of the autonomous community, not those imposed by the central government.
-According to Moreno, in the level 0 areas there will be no autonomous limitations of any kind. Neither timetables nor capacity beyond those set by municipal ordinances. It would mean returning to the situation prior to the pandemic, something that has not been seen in Andalusia for more than a year and a half, when the Covid health crisis broke out.
-The Andalusian Government points out that they have delayed by one day the meeting of the committees that determine the level of health alert in each area of the community. It was scheduled for this Wednesday but it will be held on Thursday in order to enter the new normality without restrictions in more areas of Andalusia next Friday, October 1.
-According to Moreno “there are less and less contagions and less hospitalized”, so that the situation “has changed a lot”. The improvement, he pointed out, “is notorious throughout Andalusia”.
-For Moreno this improvement in the situation is “a miracle” called “vaccines and public health”. Ninety percent of the target population will already be immunized next week, Moreno recalled.
-With this scenario, all the areas of the health districts that have a rate of less than 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days will be able to eliminate all the restrictions. In addition, theaters, concerts and sporting events up to the regional level will be able to have one hundred percent capacity. And the return to full presentiality in health centers.
-However, and although the end of the measures has been decreed, it will be necessary to respect certain hygienic and sanitary obligations. Thus, the Junta speaks of frequent hand washing, personal distance and the use of masks indoors as ways of avoiding contagion.
-Andalusia has reached this situation thanks to the good evolution of the pandemic in the last weeks. The community has an incidence rate of around 50 points, where the low danger level begins. In addition, there are 378 patients in hospitals right now, 105 of them in the ICU, when there were 4,800 at the worst moments of the third wave.
-Although Moreno has welcomed the return of normality prior to the pandemic in much of Andalusia, has again urged caution. Because, he explained, there are countries where the population is not vaccinated and, therefore, may be sources of new variants of Covid. That could force to resume the restrictions that are now eliminated. “We are in a pandemic, not an epidemic,” the Andalusian president recalled.

BREAKING NEWS! Covid measures in Most of Andalusia Removed- Bars return to free opening hours and seating capacity: {Translation} Updated: 28/09/2021 21:36
-The bars are back to normal pre-pandemic. This has been confirmed by the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, who has appeared after the meeting of the group of experts advising the Andalusian government in the management of the health crisis. That at least in the areas of the community that enters level 0, which are a large majority of Andalusia.
-This can be seen on the covid map website (mapacovid.es) where of the 33 health destinations, all those below 50 confirmed in the last 14 days, are at level zero.
-Thus, the maximum number of diners per table and the reduced opening hours at night are over. The limit for the hotel and catering business will again be the municipal ordinances, as was the case before March 2020.
-It is necessary to preserve the use of masks inside the establishments, not only in bars and restaurants, but also in any trade, as required by the Ministry of Health.
-However, there are areas of the community that will continue for some time in phase 1, what happens to them? Well, according to the Andalusian Government, in this case nightlife will be able to open until five in the morning. In fact, this means almost absolute normality pre-pandemic.

SPAIN

Spain nears its vaccination limit- Almost 90% of target population have had at least one Covid-19 shot: There is little margin for Spain to increase its Covid-19 vaccination rates. A total of 79.3% of people in the country have had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine – the equivalent of 90% of the vaccinable population, given that no vaccine has been approved so far for the under-12s, who account for 11% of the population. If this figure is added to the so-called “anti-vaxxers” (who represent around 4% of the population, according to the latest surveys), as well as the vaccine-hesitant (i.e. people who do not reject vaccines but have no interest or intention of getting immunized), and to those that the healthcare system has difficulty reaching, such as migrants in an irregular situation, it leaves a very small group that is still unvaccinated.

La Palma volcano lava flow is within 800-metres of an ‘explosive’ meeting with the sea: The ‘explosive’ contact of the lava with the sea is dangerous for the nearby population, due to the toxicity of the gas mixture given off, but also because it could vitrify, be carried into the cloud and fall onto nearby areas in the form of splinters, according to the expert in volcanology, José Luis Barrera of the College of Geologists (ICOG).

SPAIN

Cannabis Legalization Proposed For Spain: {Translation, summary}
-This Monday in the Congress of Deputies a bill was presented that, in line with the demands of the European Cannabis Observatory, declares “free” all uses of cannabis recognizing “the universal, cultural, sociological, recreational, medicinal, commercial and industrial value and character of the plant in all its varieties”. The law thus aims to put cannabis consumption on a par with tobacco consumption, with all its limitations in closed establishments and access to minors. Its consumption will thus be prohibited for those persons under age of 18.
-The text, to which elDiario.es has had access, “covers the strictly private uses of the plant and its derivatives, carried out by natural or legal persons, including the planting, possession, transport, deposit, storage, consumption, shared consumption, research or development” of marijuana and its derivatives.
-The bill contemplates, for example, the decriminalization of its consumption in public -now punished with a fine of between 600 and 10,000 euros- or that “persons who make a particular use of cannabis” may “transport on public roads up to 10 times the amount required for daily consumption”.

SCAM ALERT- National Police warn consumers of the Mercadona email scam: The scam operates via an email that you might receive, with the heading, “You have been selected!”, in which the scammer will ask you to enter personal information in order to claim a ‘prize’. This email will also ask you to click on a link, telling you that by doing so you can receive free products from the supermarket giant.

Complaints over lack of music in Nerja: A Nerja musician has claimed that the council is preventing live music. Amado Pantoja, who plays in a Nerja band, has said that the council has made it harder for musicians to perform music. He said: “With the pandemic, musicians are in a critical situation. We hoped to recover this summer but the council withdrew our permits to play in the street in July.”
Councillor for Commerce Javier Lopez said the council did allow live music but that a lack of staff had created problems. Full article: https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2021/09/26/complaints-over-lack-of-music-in-nerja/

Windows Issues Warning Regarding Installing Windows 11 On Unsupported Devices (computers with pre-2018 processors):
When Microsoft announced its Windows 11 operating system would be released Oct 5th, it made it very clear that the operating system was designed for devices that meet the operating system’s system requirements.
Recently, Microsoft added a new prompt to the setup of Windows 11 that acts as a waiver if the device does not meet the minimum system requirements of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. See in pic below.
(Remember, Win 10 is supported until 2025, so there is no need to update older Win 10 computers. -Ed.)

Covid Malaga- Malaga records 125 new infections but no deaths: {Translation, summary} Updated: 24SEP21
-Hospitalizations due to coronavirus continue to fall in Malaga province with 111 patients on the ward, of whom 20 are in the ICU.
– On Thursday there were 121 hospitalized patients, 23 of whom were in ICU. Friday there are 111 and 20, respectively. With one nuance: since there are no deaths, these 11 fewer admissions are all discharges. With these numbers, hospitalizations are the lowest since early July.
-Regarding the rate, which is the one that puts the number of infections in relation to the population, the downward trend has been going on for several weeks. Slowly but steadily downward. On Thursday it was 70.1 positives per 100,000 inhabitants and this Friday it is 69.3. And the same happens with the city of Malaga, which falls from 65.0 to 62.2. The capital of the Costa del Sol – the most populated nucleus of the province – is thus approaching the threshold of low risk level, which is located between 25 and 50 infected per 100,000 inhabitants.

Bad News For Bitcoin- China declares all cryptocurrency transactions illegal: China’s central bank on Friday said all financial transactions involving cryptocurrencies are illegal, sounding the death knell for the digital trade in China after a crackdown on the volatile currencies.
The global values of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin have massively fluctuated over the past year partly due to Chinese regulations, which have sought to prevent speculation and money laundering.
“Virtual currency-related business activities are illegal financial activities,” the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) said in an online statement Friday, adding that offenders would be “investigated for criminal liability in accordance with the law.”
Bitcoin fell as much as 5.5 percent following the announcement, hitting $42,232 around 1000 GMT before stabilising. Around 1030 GMT it was trading down 5.0 percent at $42,464.

Recommendations & Requests

Recommendation: Bathroom refurb. Must most highly recommend Chris Stevenson for the first class work he has done in one of our bathrooms. We needed a spa bath removing and a disabled access walk in shower installed. Chris quickly assessed assessed what we needed then responded promptly with a quote for the work. He ordered all the fittings – not complaining when we kept adding extras such as a replacement loo and washbasin – and obtained the necessary licence from the ayuntamiento. He arrived bang on time to start the work and we have never known a cleaner/neater worker. We continued to add small extras such but the work was still completed in less than six working days. We are absolutely delighted with the work and cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He can be contacted on 674617379

The sulfur cloud expelled by the volcano of La Palma is already in the Balearic Islands and will reach the Peninsula this Friday: {Translation, summary}
-The sulfur cloud expelled by the volcano of La Palma will reach the Peninsula in the coming hours, according to estimates of the Aemet. In fact, it already covers parts of the Balearic Islands although it has appeared in the area very weakened and does not pose any health risk.
-However, the sulfur dioxide coming from the volcano will cover a good part of the Iberian Peninsula, almost all of Morocco and Tunisia and the Mediterranean coasts of France, Italy, Algeria and Libya. However, it specifies that this phenomenon will have “very limited repercussions” on meteorological conditions and air quality at the surface, since most of the SO2 emitted is found in the very upper layers of the atmosphere.
-Rubén del Campo, spokesman for the state agency, has indicated this Thursday that in case acid rain fell it would be “a punctual episode”, and that the harmful aspects on health occur when this phenomenon is prolonged for months, even years, and also depend on the proximity with respect to the focus of emissions, in this case the volcano.
-As for gas emissions, the forecast is that they will head south, reaching areas of La Gomera, El Hierro and Tenerife, although the highest concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2) will occur in La Palma at altitudes higher than where there is usually population.
For the moment, at surface level, the air quality has not been altered by the volcano, and the pollutant emission model does not observe a “significant arrival” of gases. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/4832069/0/nube-azufre-volcan-palma-llega-peninsula/

Footprints Place Humans In North America Thousands Of Years Before Previously Known, During the Last Glacial Maximum: Footprints discovered in White Sands National Park in New Mexico prove that humans lived in North America between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago, during the last ice age and thousands of years before scientists previously thought, a new study claims.
These finds indicate the presence of humans in North America for approximately two millennia during the Last Glacial Maximum, south of the migratory barrier created by the ice sheets to the north. References:
