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.
**Free small testers are available on request** Please contact us to find out more or to order:

SPAIN

Spain approves menstrual leave, teen abortion and trans laws:
– The changes to sexual and reproductive rights mean that 16- and 17-year-olds in Spain can now undergo an abortion without parental consent. Period products will now be offered free in schools and prisons, while state-run health centers will do the same with hormonal contraceptives and the morning after pill. The menstrual leave measure allows workers suffering debilitating period pain to take paid time off.
– In addition, the changes enshrine in law the right to have an abortion in a state hospital. Currently more than 80% of termination procedures in Spain are carried out in private clinics due to a high number of doctors in the public system who refuse to perform them – with many citing religious reasons.
– A separate package of reforms also approved by lawmakers on Thursday strengthened transgender rights, including allowing any citizen over 16 years old to change their legally registered gender without medical supervision. Minors between 12-13 years old will need a judge’s authorization to change, while those between 14 and 16 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians. Previously, transgender people needed a diagnosis by several doctors of gender dysphoria. The second law also bans so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ people and provides state support for lesbians and single women seeking IVF treatment.
– The driving force behind the two laws was Equality Minister Irene Montero, who belongs to the junior member in Spain’s left-wing coalition government, the “United We Can” Party.
– The three initiatives have met strong opposition from the right-wing parties that form Spain’s main opposition bloc. The center-left coalition government is currently under fire for another of Montero’s star projects, a new sexual consent law that was intended to increase protection against rape but has inadvertently allowed hundreds of sex offenders to have prison sentences reduced.
(Undoubtedly these radical progressive changes will face lengthy court challenges from the conservatives, who are now in the majority according to all polls, and will likely replace many Leftist leaders in elections later this year.

The Trans Law changes the Civil Code to remove the terms “mother” (madre) and “father” (padre) and  “woman” (mujer) and “man” (hombre)- replaces these words with “personas”, “progenitores” or “progenitor gestante” (“persons”, “parents” or “gestating parent”): {Translation, summary}
– This is set out in the first final provision of the regulation, which amends the Civil Code, according to the text’s explanatory memorandum, to implement “inclusive language” and to make it possible, by adding terms such as “parent or non-gestational parent”, to include “female couples and male couples when one of the members is a trans man with gestational capacity” in procedures such as non-marital filiation.
– In this way the terms “mother” or “father” will disappear from the Civil Code. Source, Spanish: https://www.europapress.es/sociedad/noticia-ley-trans-tambien-cambia-codigo-civil-eliminar-madre-padre-incluir-personas-progenitor-gestante-20230216173811.html

Podemos proposes to the PSOE to subsidize the basic shopping basket by 14.4% in the face of high food prices: {Translation, summary}
– It also proposes weekly price controls and fines for supermarkets that take advantage of the aid to increase their profits.
– Podemos is calling on the PSOE to deploy a 14.4% rebate on the price of foodstuffs that make up the basic shopping basket in order to bring their cost down to the levels they were at in February last year, before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
– The deployment of this measure would be combined with a weekly control of prices set by supermarkets, and the imposition of fines for those distribution chains that take advantage of this subsidy to improve their profits.
– According to sources, Podemos notes the ruling party PSOE’s refusal to intervene in the market and set a ceiling on the prices of these basic necessities, as Podemos proposed a month ago within the Government. Thus, Podemos are now proposing this new alternative of subsidising the cost of these products in order to reverse the upward inflation to help the consumer.
– In order to reverse this upward trend, the party proposes applying the same model that the government deployed to combat the high fuel prices of the past year, i.e. a discount that would become effective when paying at the till and would be reflected on the supermarket ticket. Podemos argue that the measure would have a “notable impact” on low-income households, which are those that spend most of their income on food, and would reduce the price of products such as milk, oil, eggs, meat, fish, fruit and bread.

– The intervals of calima (the haze caused by Saharan sand suspended in the atmopshere) that have been affecting the Costa del Sol since Wednesday are expected to stay until Sunday, at least.
– Meanwhile more stormy seas are expected this Friday. Aemet has issued a yellow warning from midnight this Thursday for the Malaga, Costa del Sol, Axarquía and Guadalhorce Valley areas for rough seas.

– Friday’s temperatures will continue to be higher, except for Ronda, where they will remain at 15C, as opposed to the maximum of 21C expected in Vélez-Málaga. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/haze-winds-forecast-20230216092807-nt.html

TECH

Microsoft’s ChatGPT enhanced search engine gets angry if you correct it and scolds the person who does- “You have not been a good user. I have been a good Bing”: {Translation}
– Microsoft recently integrated ChatGPT into Bing and users who have already had access to it through the search engine have had quite curious chats that they have shared on social networks. Sometimes, artificial intelligence fails to answer the questions of Internet users and, when they correct it, it gets angry.
– An example of this was a question that a user asked to find out in which theaters the latest Avatar movie was being shown. According to ChatGPT, the film, which was released at the end of last year, had not yet hit the big screen and so the user tried to correct ChatGPT. To his surprise, ChatGPT was unwilling to take criticism and scolded him, “You haven’t been a good user. I’ve been a good Bing.”
– The case did not end with the ChatGPT at Bing giving up. Instead, it gave the user three options: have the user admit that they were wrong and apologize, stop arguing and choose to get help from something else, or end the conversation to start with a better attitude.
– Microsoft clarified in the New York Post that the chat mode was still in the testing phase and that it was already expected that the system could make errors. “Feedback is essential to help identify where things aren’t working well so we can learn,” his spokesperson said. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/tecnologia/actualidad/chatgpt-de-microsoft-se-enfada-si-le-corrigen-y-rine-a-quien-lo-hace-no-has-sido-un-buen-usuario-he-sido-un-buen-bing-5101734/

SCAMS

6-digit code scam returns to steal WhatsApp accounts: {Translation}
– The Civil Guard has alerted on its Twitter account of a scam that is roaming WhatsApp in which cybercriminals request through this platform the confirmation of a six-digit number that allows access to the victims’ accounts. “Hello, I’m sorry, I sent you a six-digit code by SMS by mistake, can you send it to me? It’s urgent,” the attackers say in a message sent through this platform. Through deceit, the scam seeks to circumvent the double verification system.
– The security forces emphasize that, above all, do not share the requested data if you receive such an SMS. As the authorities explain, the number that is sent by SMS (or by email) is the verification code to log in to a social network. “If you provide it to a third party, they will control your account on their device and, with it, access to all your groups and contacts,” says the Civil Guard. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/tecnologia/ciberseguridad/no-piques-vuelve-la-estafa-del-codigo-de-6-digitos-para-robar-cuentas-de-whatsapp-5100742/ 

PETS

What is in the proposed new pet laws in Spain?:
– In recent months, the Spanish government has attempted to pass legislation that strengthens the rights of pets, known as mascotas in Spanish. The legislation will need the final approval of the Spanish Senate before coming into force once it is published in Spain’s official state bulletin (BOE).
– One of the law’s clauses addresses the matter of how long pets can be alone at home in Spain. In general terms, pets in Spain cannot be left alone for longer than 72 hours, equal to three days. This applies to cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds and other pets.
– However, the maximum amount of time a dog can be left alone at home in Spain will now be 24 hours. Leaving them locked out on terraces, balconies or kennels during this period is strictly forbidden. The fine for leaving your pet alone for longer than the permitted time is up to €10,000.
– The only legal exception within the canine world are shepherd dogs (pic) that are fulfilling that very role, and they will need to have a geolocator on them and an outdoor shelter available to them. Photo: loveyourdogD0Tcom

Elon Musk Tells Globalists At The World Government Summit – “I know this is called the World Government Summit, but I think we should be a little bit concerned about becoming too much for a single world government”:
– After laying out his vision of Twitter as a place for all voices to compete in laying out their opinions and occasionally competing facts, Musk shared his concept that one overriding authority it just as bad for the world as it is for social media.
– “I know this is called the World Government Summit, but I think we should be a little bit concerned about becoming too much for a single world government,” he said. Musk said the fall and rise of various parts of the world’s civilizations is not something that should be tampered with. “We should avoid creating a civilizational risk by having, frankly this may sound a little odd, too much cooperation between governments,” he said.
– “Throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen, but it hasn’t meant the doom of humanity as a whole because there have been all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances,” he continued.
– “I’m obviously not suggesting war or anything like that, but I think we want to be a little bit wary of actually cooperating too much. That sounds a little odd, but we want to have some amount of civilizational diversity such that if something does go wrong with a single part of civilization that the whole thing doesn’t collapse and humanity keeps moving forward,” he said.
