NOTICE! 
Submissions for posting in sections below
must include this info or they will be returned !!!
Sender's First Name / Nearest Town 

Note: You may additionally include a location to meet or pickup,
but your location is required in any case. If selling an item from a location different from where you reside, you must include both.
For example: "...Buyer collects in Nerja, John/Malaga"
Why? DigameXtra covers a large area. So, for example, readers in Motril are unlikely to make recommendations, or call about most for-sale items, if they know you are located in Coin. As for including both locations in for-sale posts, the buyer needs to know where to collect the item, but they will also want to know where you are from in case there is a problem. Your cooperation is appreciated.

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.

MALAGA

Benefits of living in a “tech center” city? – Malaga Local Police officers to carry electronic devices so drivers can pay fines on the spot:
– The Local Police force in Malaga city has begun to introduce a scheme under which traffic fines can be processed instantly and the offender can pay without even getting out of the vehicle.
– The scheme has just begun but within a few weeks all officers on patrol will carry an electronic tablet or smartphone which can not only issue the fine and send off the details but also take payment on the spot. By law, drivers obtain a 50% discount if they pay their fine within 20 days and do not appeal against it.
– The devices can also read vehicle registration plates to see in real time whether a car is insured and has an ITV vehicle inspection test, take photos to support the fine and check to see whether a person has been reported missing or is the subject of an arrest warrant.
– The equipment can also save the GPS coordinates at the time of capturing an image, consult databases of vehicles and drivers, and will be able to tell whether the driver has a valid licence. They can also collate information and compare times, so officers can tell whether vehicles have parked in a specific place for longer than permitted.
*Save time on tasks*
– These electronic devices will also speed up time-consuming tasks which officers have to carry out. For example, the connection to databases will show whether the terrace of a restaurant or bar is bigger than its authorised size, check whether a dog’s DNA has been registered with the authorities so action can be taken against owners who abandon or mistreat them or fail to clean up after them, and digitally complete the daily report that every officer has to fill in at the end of their shift.

Birth rate across Malaga in free fall with fewer than a thousand babies born per month, deaths up 9%:
– Only 5,859 babies were born in the province’s hospitals in the first half of the year, down 14% from 5 yrs ago, while mortality recorded a striking increase of 9 per cent over last year
– The National Statistics Institute (INE) published on Wednesday, 17 August, the estimate of deaths for the first 30 weeks of the year. In the province in that period, 9,295 deaths have been recorded, which is almost 9 per cent more than on the same dates in 2021. This is an all-time mortality record that even exceeds the records of 2020 (8,076) and 2021 (8,532), the years marked by the coronavirus pandemic.
– The statistic, which is provisional, offers no clues as to the causes of the sharp increase in mortality, which is more intense in the province than that of the national level where there is a 5.1 per cent increase. Compared with 2019, the year prior to the pandemic, the increase in deaths recorded by Malaga is 23 per cent, the highest in the whole country.

UK

Wave of strikes in the United Kingdom due to the loss of purchasing power of workers:
– The protests of railway workers, stevedores and even the more than 115,000 workers of the Royal Mail, are due to high inflation (it is already over 10.1%, its highest increase since 1982) and the devaluation of the pound sterling.
– “Purchasing power is being diluted at record speed by price increases, which demonstrates the vital need to defend the value of wages,” explained the general secretary of Unite (one of the main unions in the country) in a statement . This union, together with RMT and TSSA, have called around 45,000 workers from more than a dozen operators in the sector to strike again this week, managing to paralyze most of the British railway network. On Thursday, only 20% of the regularly scheduled trains circulated in what was the sixth day of the train drivers’ strike since June. The protests are set to resume tomorrow in what is now known as the biggest strike on the UK’s passenger rail network in 30 years.

EUROPE

Russia’s Gazprom to shut gas pipeline to Europe for 3 days:
– A key Russian natural gas pipeline will shut down for three days of maintenance at the end of this month, the state-owned energy company Gazprom announced Friday, raising economic pressure on Germany and other European countries that depend on the fuel to power industry, generate electricity and heat homes.
– The latest shutdown will come a month after Gazprom restored natural gas supply through the pipeline to only a fifth of its capacity after a previous shutoff for maintenance.
– Russia has blamed the reductions through the pipeline on technical problems but Germany has called the shutoffs a political move by the Kremlin to sow uncertainty and push up prices amid the conflict in Ukraine.

HEALTH

Killer Drug Nolotil (metamizole) By Far The Most Popular Medication In Spain: {Translation, summary}
-Nolotil, banned in many countries, but until recently available in Spain without a prescription, is known to cause severe, life threatening reactions that wipe out the victim’s white blood cells, mostly in western-europeans. It is responsible for many tourist deaths in Spain. (I had this reaction in 2016. I was isolated in an ICU tent for a week, then bedridden 4 months and giving myself daily injections into my belly for the 1st month, was on crutches another 2 months, lost 25kg and I still suffer from the life changing, very painful after-effects as a result of the severe damage it caused. -Ed.)
– The ten best-selling drugs- below are the medicines that have garnered more sales with their respective number of units (in millions) in the year 2020:
1. Nolotil (24,4)
2. Adiro 100 (17,6)
3. Paracetamol Kern (16,5)
4. Enantyum (14,4)
5. Paracetamol Cinfa (9,9)
6. Eutirox (9,1)
7. Orfidal (7,3)
8. Ventolin (6,9)
9. Sintron (6,8)
10. Lexatin (6,8)
In this way, the Nolotil is leading the sales with over 24 million units sold. It is a popular analgesic indicated to relieve acute pain and episodes of high fever. UPDATED: 3pm to correct spelling from Novotil to Nolotil & metamizol to metamizole. Thanks to Birgit for catching the error 1st.

TECH

When Apps That Spy On You Get Caught Out They Claim It Is A “Newly Exposed Vulnerability”- New Amazon Ring Vulnerability Could Have Exposed All Your Camera Recordings & Some Personal Data:
– Retail giant Amazon patched a high-severity security issue in its Ring app for Android in May that could have enabled a rogue application installed on a user’s device to access sensitive information and camera recordings. The Ring app for Android has over 10 million downloads and enables users to monitor video feeds from smart home devices such as video doorbells, security cameras, and alarm systems. Amazon acquired the doorbell maker for about $1 billion in 2018.
– An attacker can sign in to the victim’s account without having to know their password and access all personal data associated with the account, including full name, email address, phone number, and geolocation information as well as the device recordings.
– Many analysts have warned about AmazonRing cams being a huge security risk. Now that the spy functions have been exposed, Amazon blames hackers. Just another example of tech companies ignoring app user’s personal security until they get caught, then passing the blame.
