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.

ENERGY CRISIS
Gazprom initiates another three-day gas outage on Nord Stream 1: Russian energy giant Gazprom halted the flow of natural gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline on Wednesday. Gazprom has repeatedly reduced the flow of gas through the crucial pipeline, which runs under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, citing technical issues, such as repairs. The company says the shutdown, which will last until Saturday, is necessary for maintenance reasons. But Western nations have claimed Russia is weaponising gas supplies amid the Ukraine war. According to Gazprom, Nord Stream 1’s only remaining turbine, located at the Portovaya compressor station in western Russia, needs servicing.

Do You Post Videos on YouTube? Fake ‘YouTube’ DMCA Notices Exploit Suspension Fears to Install Malware:
– A scam currently doing the rounds warns of copyright strikes on genuine YouTube accounts, attempting to extort a payment for a false claim.
– While technically experienced YouTubers may not fall for this kind of scam, it’s not difficult to see how someone who really values their YouTube channel might act emotionally in the heat of the moment.
– That being said, the scam cannot survive when a user has a clear understanding of YouTube’s ‘strike’ system and the methods used by the platform to communicate problems. Becoming familiar with these processes isn’t difficult but if there’s any doubt, log into YouTube, read any messages and before clicking anything, ask someone.
Nothing is so urgent it can’t wait, despite what the scammers say.

RECALLS
Health withdraws a batch of Enalapril, a drug to treat hypertension:
– The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), has ordered the withdrawal of batch 499R of the drug against arterial hypertension Enalapril Alter 20 mg TABLETS EFG, 28 tablets.
– The reason is that in the assessment tests, and more specifically in the studies of hardness and related substances, a result has been produced that does not meet the specifications. Consequently, the AEMPS has ordered the removal of all the units from the batch and their return through the usual channels to the commercial distributor, LABORATORIOS ALTER, SA or to the manufacturer, TOLL MANUFACTURING SERVICES, SL.
