SPAIN
Spanish labour reform passed in knife-edge vote, opposition blames error: Spain’s fragmented parliament approved the minority leftist government’s labour reform on Thursday by a margin of just one vote, which the main opposition party said had come from one of its members by mistake and vowed to try to annul the result.
The decree that overturns a previous conservative administration’s pro-business reforms by granting more power to unions in bargaining contracts is a cornerstone of a raft of conditions for Spain receiving the next 12 billion euro disbursement of European pandemic recovery funds.
Spain is the EU country with the highest use of temporary contracts, covering around a quarter of the workforce. The new regulation tightens conditions for their use, limiting them to short periods of time.
One of the labour groups that stands to benefit the most from the new legislation are hotel housekeepers, known locally as Kellys, long a symbol of precarious work in the tourism-dependent country. Diaz said such workers’ annual income would increase by about 2,500 euros in some cases.

Petrol prices in Spain hit record levels: Petrol prices in Spain have skyrocketed this week, reaching a new historical high. A fifth consecutive price rise saw fuel on the forecourts rise to its most expensive level; prices have gone up by another 5.6 per cent.
Specifically, the average price of petrol this week stood at €1,538/litre, which represents an increase of 1.18 per cent compared to a week ago. This is a historical record, exceeding the €1,522 of September 2012.
Despite these levels, the average price of unleaded 95 petrol in Spain is still below the average of the European Union, which stands at €1,680/litre. In the euro zone, the average price is €1,745. Full article:

Spain is betting on “cohousing” for its elderly and low earners: Cohousing, which can be called vivienda colaborativa in Spanish even though the English terminology is preferred, is an arrangement that sees residents in a building have their own private accommodation but share common spaces such as the kitchen, laundry or other living areas.
The Spanish government wants to invest in cohousing buildings where people of all ages live under the same roof and share common spaces, like many collage housing schemes do, as a dignified way for the elderly to avoid loneliness and a cost-effective form of social housing for those struggling to pay their rent.

GRANADA
Granada Gets Its Third Super Computer: The University of Granada on Tuesday launched a new supercomputer called Albaícin, which has a massive 822 teraflops of processing power – a teraflop is the equivalent of one trillion calculations per second. According to the university’s rector, Pilar Aranda, this supercomputer will be available to the more than 125 research groups and 500 scientists at UGR and other public universities in Andalusia.
Albaícin is actually UGR’s third supercomputer. But technology has advanced very far since the university’s first projects, and this has led to a significant increase in processing power. Albaícin is 200 times faster than UGR’s first supercomputer, which was launched in 2007, and 20 times faster than its second, which came out in 2013. Blanca Biel, a researcher of molecular and nuclear atomic physics at UGR, said that her work in nanotechnology will benefit greatly from the new supercomputer. Photo:FERMIN RODRIGUEZ

“Undisturbed” woolly mammoth and other Ice Age remains found in Devon: The bones, including those of a woolly rhinoceros, wolf and hyena, are thought to date to the last Ice Age – about 30,000 to 60,000 years ago.
Archaeologists found the remains during work as part of the development of a new town near Plymouth. Excavation during infrastructure work led to the discovery of the animal remains in an area near old lime kilns and Sherford Quarry.
The archaeological team has so far found the partial remains of a woolly mammoth and a woolly rhinoceros, along with a virtually complete wolf skeleton and the partial remains of a hyena, horse, reindeer, mountain hare and red fox. Full article: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-60234766

You can now pay traffic fines, make appts and perform other DGT tasks from your phone: The latest update to the miDGT (My DGT) app for drivers in Spain improves on several functions, as well as adding new ones. The most notable of these is that it now allows drivers to pay fines via their mobile phones.
Drivers no longer have to go to the bank or DGT (Directorate General of Traffic) offices to pay fines for speeding or other traffic offences and can simply pay it online via the app by inputting their bank details. In addition, the app also enables you to download a receipt for the payment if you ever need proof.

Facebook daily users total shrinks for the first time in its history: {Translation, summary}
It had to happen one day. For the first time in its history, Facebook is losing daily users. In the last quarter of 2021, the social networking giant recorded a drop of up to 500,000 users per day, leading to its first decline since the company’s founding in 2004, 17 years ago.
Although this decrease may seem small in general terms, the figure certifies the concern of the American technology company about a slowdown in its growth and in the income it obtains from advertising (its main business), a problem that has been dragging on for years as younger people prefer TikTok or Snapchat.

Zuckerberg loses $29 billion in a day as Meta/Fakebook shares crash: Mark Zuckerberg lost $29 billion in net worth on Thursday as Meta Platforms Inc’s stock marked a record one-day plunge following a disappointing earnings forecast that shook the global tech landscape.
Meta’s stock fell 26%, erasing more than $200 billion in the biggest ever single-day market value wipeout for a U.S. company. That pulled down founder and Chief Executive Officer Zuckerberg’s net worth to $85 billion, according to Forbes.

Canada will not use troops against truckers’ blockade, more protests planned: The Canadian government will not use troops against truckers whose nearly week-long protest of vaccine mandates has brought traffic in central Ottawa to a halt, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Thursday. Trucks and other vehicles have been blockading downtown roads in the nation’s capital since last Friday in what is an unprecedented protest by Canadian standards. Organizers say drivers plan to hold similar protests in Toronto and Quebec City later this week.
Ottawa police, who have made just three arrests so far, issued 30 traffic tickets on Wednesday.

Sacrebleu! French brewer uses algae to make blue beer: The beer, with the brand name “Line”, is the result of a tie-up between a firm that wants to popularise the algae as a dietary supplement, and a nearby craft brewery that was looking for a way to make its beverages more distinctive.
The blue tint comes from spirulina, an algae that is grown in northern France. The component of the spirulina that gives the blue colour, called phycocyanin, is then added to the beer during the brewing process. Photo:REUTERS.
