Bio Beach Restaurant- El Morche:
– Aloha to you all Digamites!! Today we’ll take you to Hawaii where the ocean breezes keep the residents cool!! Did you know that Hawaii moves 7.5cm closer to Alaska every year? This sounds like the plot of a science-fiction film, but it’s true. The Earth’s tectonic plates are in constant motion, driven by currents that rise and fall under them. Hawaii sits in the middle of the Pacific Plate, and due to this constant motion, it’s slowly shifting northwest in the direction of Alaska. Scientists estimate that these plates move at the same speed as the speed of growth of human fingernails.
– And did you know that Bio Beach Restaurant offers one of the most scrumptious and healthy Hawaiian popular dishes called Poke? You can choose from three different ones. So, why not treat yourself to a tropical delight followed by a selection of refreshing drinks while you enjoy the marine breezes on the restaurant’s lovely terrace? Give them a try!!
The Bio Beach Restaurant is located on the El Morche beachfront promenade right behind the church. We look forward to seeing you there! For more info contact norma2kk@aol.com

MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin

We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.

COVID & MONKEYPOX

Monkeypox is officially a global health emergency- Spain with 3,500+ confirmed cases is most affected country in the world:
– The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the current outbreak of monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern.” This is the second time in two and a half years that the agency has been forced to make this decision in the face of the spread of a disease, after having done so in early 2020 with Covid-19.
– Spain, with more than 3,500 confirmed cases, is the most affected country in the world, although the rapid growth in cases presented in the United States – which has already reported almost 3,000 infections, and has doubled the number of cases in a week – makes it foreseeable that it could soon become the epicenter of the international outbreak.
– The current outbreak has already caused more than 16,500 cases in 75 countries, most of them mild or very mild, since the first infections were identified in London in early May. Two weeks later, the virus was also detected in Lisbon and Madrid; this marked the beginning of a sustained increase that has not ceased. So far, according to the WHO, there have been five deaths in West Africa. Full article: https://english.elpais.com/society/2022-07-23/monkeypox-is-officially-a-global-health-emergency.html

F1 News- Championship leader Verstappen wins French Grand Prix: Championship leader Max Verstappen eased to a comfortable win in the French Grand Prix on Sunday after Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crashed out while leading the race. Red Bull’s Verstappen cruised home over 10 seconds ahead of Lewis Hamilton whose Mercedes teammate George Russell overtook the Red Bull of Sergio Perez in the closing laps to claim third.
“That’s an incredible result for the team. Great job George,” said a jubilant Hamilton.
– Verstappen’s seventh win of the season takes him 63 points clear of Leclerc and strengthens his chances of claiming a second successive drivers’ title. Leclerc started in pole position and was leading up to the 18th lap when he crashed into the safety tyres, emerging without injury from his car. His teammate Carlos Sainz, who won the British GP, was in a good position to challenge for the podium before a surprising decision to bring him into the pits late in the race left him settling for fifth.

Tennis News- Italian Musetti Outlasts Spain’s Alcaraz In Epic Battle: Lorenzo Musetti’s first ATP final nearly ended in bitter heartbreak. Instead it was jubilation for the 20-year-old unseeded Italian, who withstood an inspired comeback attempt from Carlos Alcaraz to claim his maiden title on a sunny Sunday in Hamburg, 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-4. (This was the best tennis match I have seen in many years. Well worth tracking it down if you missed it.

Small Time UK Pirate IPTV Sellers Receive In-Person Warnings From Police Officers & FACT: Reasonable profits can be made from the sale of pirate IPTV subscriptions but there’s always a chance of drawing the wrong type of attention. According to the Federation Against Copyright Theft, several unlucky pirates were visited at their homes in the UK this week, where they were presented with cease-and-desist notices. The problem is that this type of offense is viewed as fraud, a criminal offense. The chances of getting caught are admittedly low but, for the unlucky minority, a criminal conviction could be life-changing. Targeting homes in Alcester, Solihull, and Birmingham, investigators and police officers served so-called ‘cease-and-desist’ notices requiring suspects of supplying illegal IPTV subscriptions to cease any illegal activity with immediate effect, or face more serious consequences.
– According to the Intellectual Property Office’s IP Crime and Enforcement Report 2020-21, FACT operations largely target lower-level offenders selling piracy-configued set-top boxes and IPTV subscriptions on social media.
