Public Holiday- Tuesday 1 Nov: In Spain, every 1 November is All Saints’ Day to remember Christian saints who do not have their own Saint day. This is a national public holiday.

However, there are locations, spread out over the different points of Andalusia, in which on the 31st of October classrooms will remain closed.

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.

Telefónica asks customers to change their WiFi router password after suffering a cyberattack:
– The company has confirmed to Europa Press that there has been “unauthorised access” to the router configuration data of a group of Movistar and O2 clients. Telefónica has recommended to its fixed connection customers that they change the WiFi router password in their homes after reporting a cyberattack that has not involved the theft of personal data.
– Telefónica stressed that, with the data obtained, the alleged cyber criminals could only connect to the victim’s WiFi if they happened to be near the customer’s home. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/spain/telefonica-cyberattack-20221028180537-nt.html

Tens of thousands of protesters in Prague call for the purchase of Russian gas and the exit from NATO:
– Tens of thousands of people gathered in this capital Friday to demand that the current Czech government give way to an administration which would adopt a neutral foreign policy, end military support to Ukraine and resume purchases of Russian natural gas.
– “Resignation, resignation,” chanted the protesters, many of them waving Czech flags and carrying posters calling for their country to withdraw from NATO and the European Union.
– The independence day protest marked the third time since the start of last month that large numbers have taken to the streets in Prague to call for the resignation of center-right Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
– Police sources said that Friday’s turnout was smaller than the 70,000 who took part in the first demonstration on Sept. 3, but the protesters filled Wenceslas Square on the 104th anniversary of the secession of Czechoslovakia from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Elon Musk takes control of Twitter and immediately fires top executives:
– Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter. He closed the deal on Thursday afternoon in San Francisco and immediately fired the company’s top executives, CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and Chief Legal Counsel Vijaya Gadde, who will walk away with multimillion-dollar severance packages.
– The New York Stock Exchange announced it will suspend trading in Twitter shares in anticipation of the company going private under Musk. The deal brings an end to a seven-month tug of war that began when Musk, the founder and largest shareholder of Tesla and SpaceX, began buying shares in the company.
– See pic of Elon entering the Twitter Offices carrying a symbolic sink; he soon after tweeted, “Let that sink in!”

Bees rolling balls around hailed as first evidence of insects at play:
– In 2017, scientists in the UK carried out research suggesting that the small brain of the bumblebee may be more sophisticated than we realize, demonstrating how they could be trained to roll balls into a hole to score a sugary reward. The team has now delved deeper into the realm of entomological cognition with a new study demonstrating how the insects play with balls even when there’s no reward involved, constituting what they say is first-of-a-kind evidence of play behavior in insects That they were doing so of their own volition suggested to the researchers that perhaps they were enjoying themselves, in the same way a dog might play with a fluffy toy or a kitten might tear apart a ball of yarn.

Elderly people’s organisations consider the 9% increase in the pension supplement to be “insufficient”: {Translation}
– The Federation of Andalusian Organisations for the Elderly (FOAM) has described as “insufficient and unacceptable” the 9% increase in the supplement to non-contributory retirement and disability pensions, social assistance from the social assistance fund (FAS) and the minimum income guarantee subsidy (SGIM), in 2023 announced by the Regional Minister for Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality, Loles López, during last Thursday’s plenary session.
– The president of FOAM, Martín Durán, detailed in a press release that the 9% increase would mean “an increase of 13.39 euros per year”, that is, “1.11 euros per month”. “The supplement would go from the current 148.81 euros to 152.20 euros,” he said, stressing that “it is shameful and disgraceful to present this increase as a fabulous achievement”.
– Durán recalled that the Junta de Andalucía’s supplement “is the lowest of all the autonomous communities that have established them”. He explained that the highest is in the Basque Country with 4,811 euros per year, followed by Navarre with 2,772, while at the bottom is Aragon with 404 euros per year, Extremadura with 253 and Galicia with 220 euros.
– “From FOAM we asked the Andalusian government to increase the allowance gradually so that at the end of the legislature, the region would leave the last place it currently occupies and reach the average of the regional allowances. For them we requested that by 2023 the supplement would be 298 euros per year, which is the figure resulting from the average of the three lowest communities, except Andalusia”, explained the president of the senior citizens’ organisations, regretting that the Junta “has ignored our proposal”.

CULTURE
A loaf of bread at 17 pesetas and a cinema ticket at 200 pesetas- this is how the cost of living has changed since the PSOE’s historic victory: {Translation}
– 1982 was the year of the World Cup with Naranjito as ambassador, Spain’s entry into NATO, the inauguration of ARCO, the death of Chanquete, the introduction of the 40-hour working week, the visit of Pope John Paul II to Spain, the emergence of the Movida, the arrival of Maradona in Spain… and of course, the historic victory of Felipe González’s PSOE, which ushered in a decade and a half of socialist government and which today marks 40 years. Spain had only just begun its democratic journey six years earlier and the country embraced the socialist leader with the same enthusiasm with which it threw itself headlong into modernity.
– It was also a year that will always be remembered because fashion and hairstyles at the time were anything but conventional. A woman’s blouse cost 1,554 pesetas (9.40 euros) and a man’s jacket cost 5,630 pesetas (34 euros). It was Mecano’s debut and also the year of the shoulder pads and backcombed hair. But how much have prices changed since then?
Advertising page in an issue of ABC from 1982 ABC Archive
– If we compare the figures of the early 1980s with those of today, it is clear that Spain is not the same as before. Tourism, petrol, basic foodstuffs and leisure have shot up. Inflation has also increased, although it is true that the Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI) then was 28,400 pesetas/month (about 171 euros) and now, in 2022. The square metre of housing was almost 61,000 pesetas (370 euros) compared to the 1,685 euros it costs now.
– You could buy a newspaper at the newsagents for 35 pesetas a day (21 cents, when now the daily ABC is worth 1.90 euros during the week) and fill up your car for 80 pesetas a litre of super petrol, that is 0.48 cents (as of yesterday, in Spain, it is worth 1.91 euros a litre). A car which, by the way, you could buy for a total of 1,239,000 pesetas (almost 7,500 euros) in the case of the Ford Escort, named car of the year in 1982. Today, its equivalent would be an Opel Corsa from 19,000 euros.
– Smoking was also considered a much cheaper vice than it is today. 30 pesetas for a pack of Ducados (0.18 euros) and 75 pesetas for a pack of Fortuna (0.45 euros). Today, the prices in tobacconists’ shops are 4.75 and 4.85 euros a pack of the respective brands. If we go into the field of alcoholic beverages, the 70cl red bottle of the famous Scotch whisky Johnnie Walker used to cost 870 pesetas (just over 5 euros) in Pryca supermarkets (now Carrefour); today, it is over 13 euros. And if we are talking about cubatas – or ‘cubalibres’, as they were called at the time, whether rum or gin – you could have one for 100 pesetas (0.60 euros) and a beer in a bar for half that, 50 pesetas (0.30 cents).
– By the way, you could go to the cinema for 200 ‘pelas’ (1.20 euros), when now the standard price is 9.90 euros. In other words, the price has quintupled. Eating a set menu at the corner bar in your neighbourhood for only 256 pesetas (1.54 euros) and now you can’t find any restaurant for less than 10 pesetas.
– A single EMT ticket used to cost 30 pesetas (0.18 euros) and in 2022, it will vary between 1.50 and 2 euros depending on the number of stations you travel. The price of a 10-trip ticket was already 160 pesetas (0.96) in December 1982, while now the figure is more than 12 euros.
– As far as the shopping list is concerned, the difference in prices is truly abysmal. A kilo of beef used to cost 424 pesetas (2.55 euros); (2.55 euros; now about 13 in some supermarkets), a loaf of bread in the grocery store cost 17 pesetas (the equivalent of 10 cents now), two litres of La Masía brand olive oil cost 350 pesetas (2 euros), a box of María biscuits cost 112 pesetas (65 cents) and Mimosin fabric softener cost 99 pesetas (0.60 cents) for 2 litres on the supermarket shelves. Now, it costs almost 6 euros. Source, Spanish: https://sevilla.abc.es/espana/barra-pan-pesetas-entrada-cine-cambiado-coste-20221028233817-nt.html

American Music Icon Jerry Lee Lewis Is Dead at 87:
– Jerry Lee Lewis (“The Killer”), piano-bashing rock ‘n’ roll founding father, swaggering country shouter and the last surviving member of the inaugural (1986) class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has died. His death was announced on Friday (Oct. 28).
– Lewis is known for recording such rock standards as “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Breathless” and “High School Confidential.” Both “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire” have been named to the Grammy Hall of Fame. Sometime collaborator Kris Kristofferson told USA Today that Jerry Lee Lewis is “one of the best American voices ever.” A 2022 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Lewis is one of just 16 people to have been inducted into both the Country and Rock and Roll Halls.
