Bio Beach Restaurant- El Morche: Lecture Series & Events
– On Wednesday Feb. 8th, 11am: The Spanish Civil War: 87 years later. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on what started in Spain in July 1936. If you remember last year, I presented La Desbandada, to commemorate the carnage on A340 in our area. This year, The Deadly Dry Run for WW2, a 22mn video will feature background comments (in English) to help our verbal momentum. David Baird and Jose Manuel Cabezas Cabello, will facilitate the discussion, post viewing the video. This promises to be an educational and sobering session with two men who have extensive knowledge of the topic.
– On Wednesday Feb. 15th: Great 20th Century Crooners features 17 different artists and 29 tracks from these singers. The presentation traces the evolution and development of the musical style of crooning from the 1940’s onwards.
– Art Gallery: Exhibition of Paintings and Objects. Local artist Coby Bloemsma is exhibiting her latest work (pic) in the restaurant of Bio Beach Club.

Candlelight concerts in Seville & Malaga- music and candles in different stages of the city: {Translation, summary}
– These are recitals of contemporary classical and baroque music, as well as universal hymns brought to the instrumental. Strangely enough, and this is synesthesia, they enter through the eye rather than through the ear. A meeting of chords and curious people who assume, as a starting point, that they have not lost the ability to discover nor, of course, the ability to be moved. Music and candles. The warmth, the light, the sound of the bow touching the string…
***Las Setas***
– When can we enjoy these concerts in Seville? Over the next few weeks, the Plaza de la Encarnación, the aquarium and the palatial Casa de Salinas will be the venues for the events. The first of these venues, La Setas, will open with the songs of the Beatles: ‘Yesterday’, ‘Help’, ‘Hey Jude’… On 12 February there will be a concert at 19:00 and another at 21:00. On 5 March, in the run-up to Women’s Day, it will be the turn of ‘Women in music’, which reviews emblematic works by icons such as Beyoncé, Madonna and the young Billie Eilish at 7 pm.
– Finally, the popular soundtracks of Hans Zimmer will be the protagonists on 19 March. The exact location: Metropol Eventos, Setas de Sevilla, Puerta Este. The time: 19:00 and 21:00. And the duration: 60 minutes.
***Seville Aquarium***
– To the dim candlelight we must add another attraction: the enveloping Global Omnium Auditorium of the Aquarium of Seville, at the foot of the Guadalquivir. On 19 February, Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’ will be performed acoustically at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. From 26 February to 16 March, a string quintet together with other guests, including a dancer, will perform excerpts from musicals and ballets such as ‘The Nutcracker’, also in two performances.
***Casa de Salinas***
– The third of the venues is the Casa de Salinas, a 16th century palace in the heart of the historic quarter: 39 Mateos Gago Street. There, Queen will be the backdrop for the tribute. Their music. Another prism to approach the British and, after all, world legend: ‘We will rock you’, ‘Bohemian rhapsody’? This is it: from purely instrumental music.
Tickets are available at https://feverup.com/es/sevilla/candlelight from 15 euros.
***Malaga***
Visit this website to see all the CANDLELIGHT concerts scheduled in various intriging venues across Malaga, including a tribute to ABBA, The Nutcracker, Queen & Coldplay tributes, etc.

Will polar cold return this week?: {Translation, summary}
Sunday, February 5, 2023, 12:47
– The temperatures during the weekend have shown a slight increase, alleviating somewhat the polar cold of the last week. Although the night frosts have remained in a good part of the country, during the day the values have been relatively pleasant for this time. But, according to the weather forecast from the State Meteorological Agency, the situation is going to change for next week.
– Specifically in Malaga, Aemet already foresees a high possibility of rain from Tuesday, but mainly on Wednesday, the day of the week in which the percentage is between 90 and 100% in practically the entire province, although with less intensity in the Axarquia. The precipitations could be maintained during Thursday and decrease towards the weekend, although everything will depend on the evolution of the dana.
– Regarding temperatures, in the capital, Axarquía and Valle del Guadalorce, Meteorology forecasts maximums that will oscillate between 15 and 18ºC; on the Costa del Sol, between 17 and 19ºC, and in the Serranía de Ronda, between 9 and 14ºC. Only in some inland municipalities are the maximum temperatures expected to drop below 10ºC.

AXARQUIA
Bodies of man and woman found in roadside ditch after hit-and-run on the old N-340 in Almayate:
– Locals in the centre of Almayate, which sits in the western part of the Vélez-Málaga municipality, woke up on Saturday morning with the grim news of the discovery of two bodies found lying in a ditch on the old N-340 as it passes through this Axarquía town. According to SUR sources, they were a 73-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman, both residents of Malaga city. Although the investigation is still open, everything indicates that both were run over in the early hours of the morning, and that the driver fled the scene.
– SUR has learned that the police investigation has already located the vehicle involved in the accident. Apparently, the owner of the vehicle has said that he was not the driver involved, and claimed that his car had been stolen.
– The identity of the victims is still unknown, beyond the fact that both are residents of Malaga city. The incident happened on a section of the old N-340 highway where it is not uncommon to see people crossing it or walking along its hard shoulder, due to the presence of nearby houses, beach bars and restaurants.

COSTA DEL SOL
Catching the bus between Costa towns and inland is set to become easier and cheaper:
– A transport consortium is expanding to include buses within an area which stretches to Marbella, Antequera and Vélez-Málaga. The scheme is run by the Malaga Consorcio de Transporte del Área Metropolitano, a transport consortium initially formed by towns close to the city to improve mobility, especially for commuters.
– Take the example of someone living in the inland town of Antequera who works or studies on the coast: they will soon be able to catch a local bus to the station, then another to Malaga and, once there, change to another bus or the city’s Metro using the same travel card and save at least 30 per cent of the fare on each stage of the journey.

Dozens of dogs rescued as two illegal breeders closed down in Malaga:
– Guardia Civil officers have rescued 48 dogs after closing down two illegal dog breeders in Alhaurín el Grande. Two people, both belonging to the same family, are under investigation for animal abuse as the dogs were found with numerous injuries and hernias and their tails had been amputated for aesthetic purposes and without veterinary supervision.
– The dogs are all popular breeds including pinschers, dachshunds, French bulldogs, pugs and chihuahuas. After a number of enquiries, investigators found that the suspects were allegedly selling the animals via internet sales portals and identified several advertisements for the sale of animals that are believed to be related to these breeders.

Maracena dedicates a space to the patron saint of cyclists: {Translation, summary}
– The Virgen de Dorleta is the patron saint of cyclists and, from this Sunday, all those passionate about this sport have a meeting point in the town of Maracenza in the Parque Víctimas del Terrorismo. On the first Sunday in February, cyclists make their first official ride of the season and go to their patron saint to make a floral offering and pray for the safety of cyclists on the road.
– Until now, the Maraceneros had to travel to Suspiro del Moro or Armilla to make this floral offering, which is why the different clubs have received the news with joy. “We have always gone to another place to make the offering, so having the Virgen de Dorleta in Maracena is a source of pride,” said Marcelo Mochón of Velo Club Maracena.

ENERGY CRISIS
How will EU ban and West’s price cap on Russian diesel work?:
– Europe’s ban takes effect Sunday (5/2) following its embargo on coal and most oil from Russia. The move is meant to further slash reliance on Russian energy and payments into the Kremlin’s war chest as the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine nears.
– The newest energy sanctions have risks: Diesel prices have already jumped since the war started on Feb. 24, and there’s uncertainty about how the EU embargo and price cap by the Group of Seven major democracies will affect the market for a fuel crucial to the global economy.

Public EV Charging Stations Can Be Hacked To Steal Your Credit Card Info:
– Two new security weaknesses discovered in several electric vehicle (EV) charging systems could be exploited to remotely shut down charging stations and even expose them to data and energy theft. Two new security weaknesses discovered in several electric vehicle (EV) charging systems could be exploited to remotely shut down charging stations and even expose users to data and energy theft. The findings, which come from Israel-based SaiFlow, once again demonstrate the potential risks facing the EV charging infrastructure.
– A cyber attacker could spoof a connection from a valid charger to its CSMS provider when it’s already connected, effectively leading to either of the two scenarios:
1. A denial-of-service (DoS) condition that arises when the CSMS provider closes the original WebSocket connection when a new connection is established
2. Information theft that stems from keeping the two connections alive but returning responses to the “new” rogue connection, permitting the adversary to access the driver’s personal data, credit card details, and CSMS credentials.
(Also beware of rogue QR codes. If you pay by scanning a QR code with your mobile, closely inspect the QR code posted on the charging station, gas pump, parking meter, etc. Make sure the symbol is printed onto the surface, and that a rouge QR code sticker has not been placed on top the original. Rouge QR stickers can steal your payments. If it is a sticker, alert the attendant. -Ed.) Full article & image: https://thehackernews.com/2023/02/is-your-ev-charging-station-safe-new.html

30-year-old Bobi crowned world’s oldest dog ever by Guinness World Records:
– Guinness World Records has announced that the record for the world’s oldest dog has officially been broken just weeks after another pooch was crowned.
– Bobi the dog was born in the village of Conqueiros in Portugal on May 11, 1992 and is aged 30 years and 268 days-old as of Friday. He has been crowned the world’s oldest dog just two weeks after a 23-year-old chihuahua called Spike, from Ohio in the US, was awarded the title. But Bobi is not just the oldest living dog – he’s also officially the oldest dog on the planet ever.
– This new title means Bobi has beaten the record of an Australian cattle dog called Bluey – who had lived 29 years and five months before his death in 1939. Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo (He doesn’t look anything like the photos of Rafeiro do Alentejo dogs I looked up. -Ed) , which is a breed of livestock guardian dog with an average life expectancy of around 12 to 14 years.
