Note: “Sudden Death Syndrome” (SDS)
– Every day the newspapers are carrying multiple articles about “Sudden Death Syndrome” victims. Most of these articles are about young to middle aged performers or athletes, many dying on stage or during events; articles about unknowns dying are not considered news worthy. But if this many public figures are victims, there must be way more average people falling victim that we don’t hear about. The articles that mention blood clots, heart attacks or vax reactions as the cause of death in previously healthy people are particularly concerning. However…
– I have no intention of posting about all these deaths in DigameXtra, far too depressing. Spanish politics provides more than enough depressing content for me to deal with daily.
– The EuroWeelkyNews, as well as the UK scandal rags, carry these SDS death notices everyday if you want to have a look. Today, the EWN has no fewer than 5 such articles on the homepage of their news website, one article listing 3 GAA hurlers as recent SDS victims. I will only post these articles if a major celebrity or player is the victim. -Ed.

The Supreme Court backs lower sentences for sex offenders due to the ‘only yes is yes’ law, but insists on analyzing sentences on a case-by-case basis: {Translation, summary} 29/11/2022 14:19
– The Supreme Court has opened the door to the courts being able to reduce sentences for sexual offenders in application of the so-called “only yes is yes law” in the event that the new law provides for lower sentences than the previous Penal Code, although it has insisted that this cannot be done “globally”, but must be done “on a case by case basis”.
– However, it makes it clear that it is necessary to analyze “case by case” and that it cannot be done “globally”, and that the reductions can be applied both in cases pending trial, as in appeals or cassation of sentences already handed down, as well as in resolutions that are already final.

Welcome rains forecast for southern Spain from Thursday onwards:
– Spain’s meterological agency Aemet has forecast rain for Malaga province this week. On Wednesday afternoon a cold, low pressure front is expected to move in which will be located over the Gulf of Cadiz on Thursday. Over the weekend, another low will come in over the Atlantic to the west. However, the rains are expected to be generally light and concentrated in the west and not the east where they are most needed to alleviate the drought situation.
– On Thursday and Friday, rain is expected inland and the westernmost coast (Sierra Bermeja and Estepona), but in only small amounts, around five litres per square metre. There is a chance that light showers will fall on the rest of Malaga province. The areas with the heaviest rainfall will be Huelva and Cadiz.
– Saturday will be changeable. The movement of the second front on Sunday will bring rain again, but mainly in the westernmost part of the province, while in the city and in the Axarquía rain is not expected.

Census results 2021- Christianity shrinking in England and Wales:
– Just 46.2% of the population described themselves as Christian on census day, 21 March last year, down from 59.3% a decade earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. The survey was filled out by more than 24m households across England and Wales – and covers ethnicity, religion, national identity and language.
– The percentage of people saying they had no religion jumped from around a quarter in 2011 (25.2%) to over a third in 2021 (37.2%). This was the second most common response and the number ticking this box has almost trebled since 2001. There were increases in the proportion of people describing themselves as Muslim (up from 4.9% to 6.5%) and Hindu (from 1.5% to 1.7%). London remains the most religiously diverse region of England, with just over a quarter (25.3%) of people on the day of the 2021 census reporting a religion other than Christian.

Flat Holm Island- tiny isle off Welsh coast is looking for a new warden – the skills you’ll need to qualify:
– For those in search of a slower pace of life, a dream job has become available on a remote island between England and Wales. The island of Flat Holm, which is just five miles from Barry – the Welsh town made famous by BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey – is in need of a new warden as their current warden is leaving the post.
– Flat Holm is a 86-acre island that stands five miles out to sea in the Bristol Channel. It has a radius of only six hundred metres, and only has basic amenities – so this is the perfect role for someone who wants to relax and get back to nature.

Netherlands to close up to 3,000 farms to comply with EU rules:
{The Telegraph} 28 November 2022, 4:02pm
– The Dutch government plans to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU nature preservation rules. The Netherlands is attempting to cut down its nitrogen pollution and will push ahead with compulsory purchases if not enough farms take up the offer voluntarily.
– Farmers will be offered a deal “well over” the worth of the farm, according to the government plan that is targeting the closure of 2,000 to 3,000 farms or other major polluting businesses. Earlier leaked versions of the plan put the figure at 120 per cent of the farm’s value but that figure has not yet been confirmed by ministers.
– “There is no better offer coming,” Christianne van der Wal, nitrogen minister, told MPs on Friday. She said compulsory purchases would be made with “pain in the heart”, if necessary.
** Biodiversity under threat? **
– The Netherlands needs to reduce its emissions to comply with EU conservation rules and agriculture is responsible for almost half the nitrogen emitted in the proud farming nation.
– The Dutch environment agency has warned that native species are disappearing faster in the Netherlands than in the rest of Europe and that biodiversity is under threat.
– Farmers fear that the plan to slash emissions by 2030 will cost them their livelihoods, oppose any compulsory purchases and argue farming is unfairly targeted while other sectors such as aviation are not.
– Opposition leader Geert Wilders published a letter July 6, 2022, from the provincial government of Flevoland (pic). It states that the government will set up “a registration center for asylum seekers” on agricultural land expropriated by the devastating nitrogen laws. Full Telegraph Article Here.

– Valencia (pic) comes in as the best city in the world for expats in 2022.
– Lisbon came in fourth in the overall rankings, but was one of the highest rated for the weather.
– Paris comes in second last in the rankings of best cities for expats, criticised for expensive housing and high cost of living. Those surveyed also said they found local residents unfriendly and struggled to make friends. Photo: Trickful.

UK Labour Leader Says There Are No Chances of Return of Free Movement With EU:
– In spite of having supported the idea of keeping the freedom of movement between the United Kingdom and the 27 European Union countries three years ago, the leader of the Labour Party of the UK, Keir Starmer, now claims that the return of the policy is a “red line” for the party he leads.
– In an interview for the Mail on Sunday, the Labour leader also ruled out the possibility of introducing a “Swiss-style” deal with the EU, through which the UK would have access to the single market in exchange for opening its borders for EU citizens to move to its territory under facilitated rules. “A Swiss deal simply wouldn’t work for Britain. We’ll have a stronger trading relationship, and we’ll reduce red tape for British business – but freedom of movement is a red line for me. It was part of the deal of being in the EU, but since we left, I’ve been clear it won’t come back under my government,” Starmer told the Mail.

Whatsapp Hacked – 487million Users Data Exposed
(¼ of all WhatsApp users!)
***Check Your Number Now***
– On 16 November, a database of phone numbers of 487 million Whatsapp users was put up for sale.
– The coveted list, of which ELEVEN MILLION NUMBERS WERE FROM SPAIN, is on a hacking forum, leaving the numbers exposed for cybercriminal activities such as smishing** and vishing* and also massive spam campaigns & unwanted advertising.
– Finding out if your number or email is on the list is very easy thanks to Cybernews, a cybersecurity media that has a search engine with “a 500 GB database of the phone numbers & emails”.
– To check, just enter your phone number or email address in the search engine ( https://cybernews.com/personal-data-leak-check/ ) and hit ‘Check Now’. This will check if you have been exposed in this recent data breach, or any of the other recent major hacking events like those at Fakebook/Meta (533 million) and Linkedin (500 million). If your details are on the list, the results page will tell you how to change your passwords and implement new security methods.
– If you have old, abandoned email accounts, which you never shut down properly, that may still contain private emails, you should check those too. If they are on the hacked list, you may want to contact the email service to shut them, even if it is a big hassle. It’s possible for hackers to use these old email accounts to impersonate you, opening the door to all kinds of mischief.
– The threat actor told Cybernews they were selling the US dataset for $7,000, the UK – $2,500, and Germany – $2,000.
***Phishing is an attack in which the threat actor poses as a trusted person or organization to trick potential victims into sharing sensitive information or sending them money.
**Smishing is a form of phishing in which an attacker uses a compelling text message to trick targeted recipients into clicking a link and sending the attacker private information or downloading malicious programs to a smartphone.
*Vishing is a different attack that falls under the general phishing umbrella and shares the same goals. Vishers use fraudulent phone numbers, voice-altering software, text messages, and social engineering to trick users into divulging sensitive information. Vishing generally uses voice to trick users.
Another Data Breach Scanner, this also checks smaller breaches:

Irish Regulator Fines Fakebook $277 Million for Leak of Half a Billion Users’ Data, 4th huge fine for FB in Ireland since 2019:
– Fakebook engineers can’t be this stupid. They are abusing the public intentionally, and fines are seen as an operating expense.
– The fines follow an inquiry initiated by the European regulator on April 14, 2021, close on the heels of a leak of a giant “collated dataset of Facebook personal data that had been made available on the internet.”
– This included the personal information associated with 533 million users of the social media platform, such as their phone numbers, dates of birth, locations, email addresses, gender, marital status, account creation date, and other profile details.
– The Irish watchdog, besides imposing a monetary penalty, also ordered Meta’s Irish unit to make sure its processing complies with the E.U. data protection laws. Full article: https://thehackernews.com/2022/11/irish-regulator-fines-facebook-277.html

Spain’s pensioners will have an extra 1,300 euros in 2023 with the 8.5% increase: The CPI data for November confirms the Government’s estimate of revaluation, which implies that retirees will receive a salary of 1,365 euros per month, 107 euros more than now. It’s practically final now. Contributory pensions will rise by 8.5% in 2023, the increase that the Government had estimated in the Budgets. This is how it corroborates the CPI in advance for the month of November that the INE made public this Tuesday, although we will have to wait for confirmation with the final figure, which normally does not vary, or at most one tenth up or down.
