The BIO BEACH Restaurant U3A Lectures Present:
– Book Signing on Wed. Nov. 9th at 11am with U3A Author Norma Kira Masip.
*Chocolate Moon: Synopsis: Born during WWII in France, my tender years were far from conventional. My Catalan parents, political refugees having fled in 1939 from the Spanish Civil War, were held in a Concentration Camp in Argeles-Sur-Mer. Raised and educated in France, I pursued my higher education after I migrated to The USA in my teens. I eventually settled in the magical State of Hawaii, where I raised two sons. It is with a grateful heart that I published Chocolate Moon – A Life
from Darkness to Light in July 2020. Copies of Chocolate Moon are available in Bio Beach Restaurant (20€).
*So Close: Synopsis: Nadia, a dedicated and successful social worker, falls in love with Pasco, a prisoner serving life in prison for murder. Pasco convinces Nadia that he is innocent of the crime. The portrayal of the lives of these two individuals takes the reader through uncharted ethnic, cultural and social situations that eventually bring light into the convoluted story. This thrilling tale, parts of it filtered through the lens of Nadia’s best friend, Kira, is based on a true story. Copies of So Close are available in Bio Beach Restaurant (10€).
NOTES:
-For this book signing special, I’m offering both for 25€.

NOTICE!
Submissions for posting in sections below
must be signed like this 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. Simply saying "for collection in Town" is NOT sufficient. Your location, and the collection location may not be the same place. 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.

SPAIN
The price of electricity rises on Monday to 109.78 euros/MWh: {Translation, summary} 23/10/2022 14:59
– The average price of electricity for regulated tariff customers linked to the wholesale market will rise this Monday to 109.78 euros, which represents an increase of 50.71% compared to this Sunday, although it will be the sixth lowest price in the month of October.
– This will be the fifth consecutive day in which the so-called Iberian exception, in force since mid-June, has not been applied, as the reference price for gas plants stands at 36.43 euros/MWh, below the ceiling of 40 euros/MWh.
– The maximum price will be between 20.00 and 21.00 hours, at 180.01 euros/MWh, while the minimum price for the day, 77.60 euros/MWh, will be between 4.00 and 5.00 hours.
– Added to this pool price is the compensation to gas companies that must be paid by consumers who benefit from the measure, consumers on the regulated tariff (PVPC) or those who, despite being on the free market, have an indexed tariff, which on this occasion for this Monday will once again be zero.

MALAGA
Private health care now has more than 40% of the hospital beds of Malaga: {Translation, summary}
– Private health care now has more than 40% of the hospital beds of Malaga.
– Twenty years ago, there was no Vithas Xanit International Hospital, nor CHIP, nor Quirónsalud Málaga. The first was inaugurated in December 2005; the Complejo Hospitalario Integral Privado (CHIP) opened in September 2009 (although its origin, the clinic La Encarnación, had already existed for almost four decades) and the third, in October of the same year. And since then they have not stopped growing. For its part, the HLA El Ángel Hospital has undergone a complete renovation of its building and technology. In addition, at the beginning of last October, the entry of another business group in the sector was announced: HM, which with CHIP, the Del Pilar and Gálvez clinics and the Santa Elena Hospital, brings together 200 beds and 400 doctors.
– According to the National Catalogue of Hospitals, as of 31 December 2021, the province had 4,723 beds installed. Of these, 2,774 – 59% – belong to the public health system and 1,949 – 41% – to the private sector. But this part of the pie is even bigger because there are data that are not yet included in the list drawn up by the Ministry of Health.
– During these two decades, while the Andalusian Regional Government kept repeating promises of a third public hospital that never came, the private health sector was concretising one project after another, consolidating its position as the most important in the autonomous community. Now, it seems that the third public hospital in the capital is finally on its way, as the project has already been awarded. In addition, the Pascual Hospital – which was private and is currently closed – is expected to open in the first half of 2023 as a public hospital, to be like an “extension” of the Regional Hospital, with 200 beds.
– The current picture of private healthcare portrays a thriving sector that accounts for almost half of the hospital beds in Malaga and is backed by strong business groups, such as Vithas, Quirón or HM Hospitales.

UK
Boris Johnson drops out of race to be next UK prime minister:
– Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Sunday he will not run to lead the Conservative Party, ending a short-lived, high-profile attempt to return to the prime minister’s job he was ousted from little more than three months ago.
– His withdrawal leaves former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak the strong favorite to become Britain’s next prime minister — the third this year — at a time of political turmoil and severe economic challenges. He could win the contest as soon as Monday.
– Late Sunday he said he had amassed the backing of 102 colleagues, more than the threshold of 100 needed to make a ballot of lawmakers on Monday. But he was far behind Sunak in support, and said he had concluded that “you can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament.” Full article: https://apnews.com/article/british-politics-boris-johnson-rishi-sunak-london-europe-e5a15fc45b3a2212f6f59a6c61439163

Climate activists attack the art world again – throw mashed potatoes at Monet work in Germany:
– Claude Monet has become the latest artist to be the focus of food-related climate protests, after members of a German environmental group threw mashed potatoes over one of his paintings in a Potsdam museum on Sunday.
– Nine days after Just Stop Oil emptied tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers at the National Gallery in London, two activists from Letzte Generation (Last Generation) entered the Museum Barberini and doused Monet’s Les Meules (Haystacks) with potato before glueing their hands to the wall.
– The protesters said the stunt was designed as a wake-up call in the face of a climate catastrophe. “People are starving, people are freezing, people are dying,” one of the activists said in a video of the incident tweeted by Letzte Generation.

US Army’s 101st Airborne Division has been deployed to Europe for the first time since World War II, just 3 miles from Ukraine border:
– The roughly 4,700 soldiers from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, are about three miles away from Romania’s border with Ukraine, conducting joint ground and air assault exercises with Romanian forces.
– The Army’s 101st Airborne Division, which boasts the “Screaming Eagles” moniker, has been deployed to Europe for the first time since World War II, practicing with live tank and artillery rounds not far from the Black Sea, across which Russia has taken territory from Ukraine, including Crimea, at a forward operating site on NATO’s eastern flank, according to CBS News.
– Col. Edwin Matthaidess, commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, told the news outlet these troops are the closest U.S. unit to the fighting in Ukraine. Full article: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/us-military-forces-prepared-cross-into-ukraine

And for good reason, too. The Repsol tariff is among the best offers the market in terms of price per kWh consumed, although the power for off-peak time is a little more than some of the other offers on the list.
The tariff is non-permanent, with a fixed price rate for 3 years.

kWh Prices
Price per kWh consumed: €0.178662 (minus the 15 percent extra discount) but plus a gas metering cost (which in August was €0.161529/kWh.)
Peak hours (fixed term): €30.52381
Off-peak hours (fixed term): €3.512901

Peak hours (fixed term): €33.86.

***Total Energies***
Another interesting option is Total Energies, who offer entirely personalised pricing plans. Basically, Total Energies want to attract your business by outdoing your current rate. In order to receive a quote and see how it stacks up against your current provider, you simply upload a copy of your current bill to the website and Total Energies make an offer, often bettering your current rate.
If they make an offer, Total Energies promise a discount lasting for 4 years, although the price on which the discount is fixed is only valid for 12 months.

F1 News- Verstappen wins U.S. GP as Red Bull take constructors’ crown: Max Verstappen fought back from a calamitous pitstop to win the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin on Sunday as his Red Bull team took the Formula One constructors’ title a day after the death of billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
– The title, clinched with three races to spare, ended an eight-year streak by Mercedes whose seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton scented a first victory of the year but ended up second at the Circuit of the Americas.
– Red Bull’s Sergio Perez was fourth with Russell, who secured a bonus point for fastest lap, fifth and Lando Norris sixth for McLaren. Double world champion Fernando Alonso was seventh for Renault-owned Alpine despite a collision with future Aston Martin team mate Lance Stroll that brought out the safety car for the second time.

Tiny $10K electric off-roader rambles like a mini Jeep with big bed:
– The Kilow La Bagnole looks part mini pickup truck, part UTV and part shrunken Jeep CJ. It zips silently across rugged terrain via an exceptionally modest 16-kW powertrain that proves more than ample thanks to the skinny-wheeler’s tiny size and sub-1,000-lb weight. The lil’ La Bagnole carries two people and up to 650 L of gear or cargo on an off-road adventure of their choosing.
– La Bagnole comes powered by a pair of rear-mounted brushless motors that team for up to 21 hp (16 kW). That doesn’t exactly sound like the makings of a thrill ride, but given the vessel’s sub-772-lb (350-kg) weight, it’s able to achieve speeds of roughly 50 mph (80 km/h). Kilow lists acceleration time for 0 to 40 km/h (25 mph) at four seconds, though many drivers will be best-served laying off the accelerator in order to conserve range, which maxes out between 43 and 87 miles (70 and 140 km).
– Kilow is offering La Bagnole for pre-order in two variations: an L6e version with limited 28-mph (45-km/h) top speed that does not require a license and a 50-mph (80-km/h) L7e variant that will require a license to drive legally. Prices start at €9,990 (approx. US$9,975), and the company plans to begin deliveries in early 2023. Full article & more pics: https://newatlas.com/automotive/tiny-kilow-bagnole-electric-off-roader/
