Bio Beach Restaurant- El Morche, Paseo Maritimo: Lecture Series + Fun Facts
– April Fools’ Day- occurring on April 1 each year- has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar, the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1. And did you know that in France it is called Poisson d’Avril? Why? Because pranks included having paper fish placed on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish), said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person.
– On Wed. April 12th at 11 am: The U3A-Bio Beach Wed. lectures presents America the Beautiful through the lens of their National Parks. If you like amazing photography and breath-taking vistas and colors, you’ll be enchanted. To name a few, we’ll visit sites in Arizona & Utah, California with their stunning Sequoias, Colorado, Montana and even Hawai’i. Please join us for a visually thrilling frolic with our Power Point Presentation if you like to see a few Hoodoos. What are Hoodoos do I hear you say? Mystery until then! Speaker: Norma.

Castillo de Santa Catalina- 2023 Season Concert Schedule:
The Castillo de Santa Catalina is one of the most exclusive five-star hotels in Malaga City, not only for its quality and service, but also because it is one of the most emblematic places in the capital. It is located in the Limonar neighbourhood in this palace of architectural style and inspired by the Arab Renaissance that was built in 1932 after recovering a fortress in the area dating back to 1624: nearly 400 years of history. Attending a concert here is a great way to visit the grounds of this iconic facility, without paying for a 5 star room. Get there early so you have time to look around.
See the full 2023 list of events at this link. It’s Spanish, but just scroll down to the calandar: https://www.malagahoy.es/la-farola/tardes-Castillo-Santa-Catalina-musica-ocio_0_1779123317.html

SPAIN
The Left Fragments- Lifelong Communist and current second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, launches new Far Left Feminist party and announces her candidacy to be “the first President of Spain”, challenging Socialist President Sanchez: {Translation, summary}
– The second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, has officially announced this Sunday that she will present herself as a candidate for the Presidency of the Government in the next elections and has guaranteed that she will be “up to the challenge” of responding to the “thirst for change”, with a project in which “everyone fits”.
– Sumar, Díaz new party, is an announced left-wing and progressive electoral platform for the 2023 Spanish general election, to be led by Spanish second deputy prime minister and labour minister Yolanda Díaz.
– “I am going to take a step forward. I want to be the first female president of my country, the first female president of Spain”, she proclaimed this Sunday in Madrid to assure that she feels “useful” to be able to “win the country”, making clear her rejection of politics based on “noise” and claiming that Sumar is a “feminist” force that promotes equality, as women “belong to no one” and are “tired” of “tutelage” or being “ignored”.
– “Women belong to no one. Nor do I belong to anyone”, she stressed in a climate of tension with the purple party, which has maintained its standoff and did not attend her launch, as a prior pact had not been signed beforehand. In her harangues, Díaz affirmed that it is time for women to be the “protagonists” of history and that they will be “unstoppable”. And all of this flanked by leaders of more than a dozen left-wing parties, the same parties Sanchez’ Socialist coalition gov’t relies on to maintain a majority. This bodes very poorly for the Sanchez administration currently (who just replaced two female ministers with men, which certainly upset the feminists running the far Left), and for his success in national elections at the end of this year.

Sanchez Responds To Critics- “Luckily we Socialists are at the head of the Government of Spain”: {Translation, summary}
– The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has defended in a speech to supporters in Barcelona this Sunday the achievements of his Executive in difficult times worldwide and has concluded: “Thank goodness we are the socialists at the head of the Government of Spain”. (Note, he said “socialists”, not the more inclusive terms “progressives” or the “izquierda” (Left).)
– “Even with all this complex context, is it possible to overcome a pandemic and to grow and create jobs in the middle of a war?”
And he also asked aloud whether it is possible to contain inflation and balance the public accounts, as well as tackle a labour reform and a pension reform with social peace: “Yes, it is. We are doing it and that is the Spain of today. That is the Spain of the 21st century”.

MALAGA
Will the shops be open at Easter in Malaga province?: As was the case in 2022, on both Maundy Thursday (6 April) and Good Friday (7 April), shopping centres across the province will be open like any other day at their usual hours/days, so it will be possible to go shopping throughout Holy Week, without exception: from Palm Sunday (2 April) to Easter Sunday (9 April ). In 2023, shopping centres have permission from the Junta de Andalucía to open a total of 16 Sundays and public holidays. This calendar is applicable only to premises with a shop floor area of ??more than 300 square metres, since establishments with smaller premises have the choice whether to open their doors on any Sunday or holiday.

Two people were injured while trying to put out the flames after after the float carrying the image of the Virgen del Rocío caught fire in Vélez-Málaga: The thousands of people who were enjoying the Palm Sunday procession of La Pollinica and the Virgen del Rocío in Vélez-Málaga had an enormous scare this afternoon, 2 April.

– The ‘112 CV’ has received another alert for a forest fire in Altea, near the Riquet ravine, where an air force of the Generalitat, three units of forest firefighters of the Generalitat (one of them heli-transporting), two fire engines, three teams of the Provincial Consortium of Firefighters of Alicante and an environmental agent of the Department of Agriculture have been mobilised.

Vault apps- See how kids bypass phone controls & parental blocks:
– Vault apps, also known as vault apps, are gaining popularity among kids and teens as a way to bypass parental controls on their phones and tablets. These tools hide photos, files, and even other apps behind an innocent look like a calculator.
– When using the smartphone, whether iOS or Android, the device offers normal functionality. However, if the user enters a secret code, the “vault” will be replaced by a hidden desktop with other hidden content. This way, kids and teens can secretly use apps or browsers banned by parents like TikTok to access adult content. These apps can hide malware and pose a risk to minors as they are exposed to the dangers of the Internet without supervision or parental controls.
– To detect if this feature is installed on the mobile, you can check how much space they take up on the mobile device. A calculator app may not exceed one megabyte, while vault apps are heavier and easily exceed hundreds of megabytes.

What was the trail of fire that illuminated Granada Saturday night?: {Translation}
– Was it space debris, a meteorite, a UFO? The social networks lit up minutes before midnight Saturday night / Sunday morning because of the sighting from various points in Spain of an unknown object that left a trail of fire. One of those observation points was the province of Granada, where Twitter user @sandravegasgeni reported having seen this astronomical phenomenon minutes before 00:00 hours from Salobreña.
– “We saw it from Salobreña. It was like a very, very big stone and then it fragmented. It was cool to be looking at the stars and something very big was passing through the sky. We had time to go to the other terrace and continue watching it and then it was when it broke into pieces. It looked like a movie”, this citizen explained to GranadaDigital.
– But what Sandra and thousands of other people throughout Spain actually saw were the remains of the secret satellite (USA-321), launched on 13 January on SpaceX’s Transporter-3 mission, which completely disintegrated in the atmosphere, according to the specialised media outlet Frontera Espacial. In fact, this same source also points to a similar phenomenon recorded hours later in Argentina and Chile, and which would be the USA-323 satellite, which was also launched on SpaceX’s Transporter-3 mission.
