Minigolf La Herradura:
-Minigolf and More! Of course the star of Minigolf La Herradura is the 18-hole course. A challenge for beginners, a test to keep winnowing down your score for intermediate players and, to be honest, for the “profis”, a place to show off. However, that is just the beginning.
– Also available at Minigolf and included in the all-day admission ticket are among other things: mini paddle and mini tennis, Air badminton, volleyball, boxing and related cardio exercise, petanque, basketball, real golf swing technique, American flag football, baseball, and much more.
In other words, you can think of Minigolf La Herradura as not just a place to enjoy a leisurely hour or two of mirth, light-hearted banter and ribbing amongst family and friends playing a round or two of minigolf, but as an active recreational sport area as well. Or both, it’s all part of your entry fee.
All of the equipment that you’ll need to play these various other sports and games (see photos below) is included, though on a first come-first serve basis. And I will be happy to show you how to use the different gizmos and explain the rules to the games if they’re new to you.
-Is there parking nearby? Yes indeed. The best bet is to park along the beach’s berm which for the most part is free. One important hint: dashed blue lines require a visit to the closest parking meter. There you will find the time table informing you when it is necessary to buy a ticket, (very cheap).
-Location: We could not be easier to find. We are just two small alleys off the beachfront Paseo directly behind the children’s playground, the Centro de Salud, post office and newly remodeled market/food court. Please visit our website: http://www.minigolflh.es for a Google map which pins us down exactly. (PS: Our contact details can be found in the Sponsor’s Section at the bottom of every issue.)
-Admission fee: Current pricing is: six euros for 12 and unders, 8,50€ for 13 and over. Family discounts are also on offer such as 2 adults and 2 children for only 25 euros. This price includes all activities on the grounds and is valid for the entire day. Feel free to ring proprietor Scott Huston with any questions you might have on +34 603 416 632.
-New June Opening Hours: For the month of June we will now be open from11:30am until 2:00pm and 6:00pm until 10:00pm six days a week (closed Wednesday). Because I work alone, it is recommended though to call in advance for confirmation.
Best regards, Señor Minigolf, Scott Huston / La Herradura

DGT plan to shorten the license renewal periods for drivers over 65 years of age suspended: {Translation, summary}
– The call for early elections has caused a domino effect in terms of the entry into force of new laws. The Directorate General of Traffic was seeking to reduce the period from five to two years, but the suspension of the plenary session of Congress implies this measure, which sought to make drivers in this group take a clinical examination, is paralysed for the time being.

Spain’s opposition leader admits he can’t speak English, ‘but will study it’: Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of Spain’s main opposition party, the right-wing People’s Party (PP), whom polls suggest could be Spain’s next prime minister after the forthcoming general election on 23 July, acknowledged on Thursday that he doesn’t speak English but brushed it off saying there would always be ‘translators’. “My problem is English … I have to start studying it,” he told Telecinco TV in his first interview since the PP scored a major victory in Sunday’s local and regional elections, “International summits normally have translators and what’s most important is that I know what I want to say.’ Full article: https://www.spainenglish.com/2023/06/01/spain-opposition-leader-admits-cant-speak-english/

President Pedro Sánchez goes on the attack, labelling the PP and Vox as being both far-right: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez went on the attack on Wednesday, ahead of the 23 July general election, which he said would be a vote for Spain being ‘a country of rights’, or ‘a Spain of the far right’. In an address to his socialist (PSOE) MPs, Sánchez said there was ‘no difference’ between the People’s Party (PP), who regard themselves as ‘conservative’, and (for what he called) the “far-right Vox group”, and he warned they would together ‘dismantle the social progress’ made since he took office in 2018. (Strange response to his party’s poor performance in this week’s elections, this from a socialist president who often claims to support “inclusiveness”. Sounds more like he is attempting to drive people further apart, no? -Ed.) Full article: https://www.spainenglish.com/2023/06/01/pedro-sanchez-attack-labelling-pp-vox-far-right/

EUROPE

Insect spaghetti? EU agency greenlights another insect-based foodstuff:
– A powder made of yellow mealworms could be the next insect-based foodstuff to hit EU supermarket shelves after winning the approval of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which concluded it raised no safety concerns.
– The scientific opinion, which focused on the safety of UV-treated powder of yellow mealworms, was published on Thursday (1 June). It concluded that the powder, made from the larval form of the insect species Tenebrio molitor, is both nutritional and safe to use under the company’s proposed uses.
– “As no adverse effects were observed either in the toxicological studies available in the literature on dried yellow mealworms or were identified from the history of use of the [novel food] and its source, the Panel considers that there are no safety concerns, provided the larvae are reared separately from the adults,” the opinion concludes.
– Approved uses include as an ingredient in various food productions, including flour-based food products like cakes, wheat bread and rolls, and pasta and cheese, with the target population stipulated as the “general population”.
– The opinion is the seventh insect-derived novel food product that EFSA has assessed the safety of, following those of the dried yellow mealworm as well as frozen and dried formulations of locusts and crickets.

MEPs say Hungary may be unfit for EU presidency:
– The handover of the rotating EU presidency from one member state to the next is supposed to be a mere formality. But, when it comes to Hungary, things often get complicated in Brussels.
– Hungary is not slated to take up its six-month stint chairing EU meetings and driving forward legislation until the second half of 2024, but the European Parliament is already readying for a showdown. By a vote of 442 to 144, with 33 members of the European Parliament abstaining, EU lawmakers expressed doubt that Hungary’s government was up to the task, given ongoing concerns about the state of the rule of law in the country.
– Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga dismissed the prospect that the country could see its turn at the presidency delayed or passed over. “Complete nonsense,” she told the press in Brussels on Tuesday.
– “Hungary is isolated in the EU at the moment because of really very serious problems with the rule of law and also because Hungary frequently leaves room for doubt about whether it really stands behind Ukraine in Russia’s war,” Lührmann, a Green, said on the way into a meeting of ministers in Brussels on Tuesday.

Tennis News- A new, 16 year old sensation hits the courts, Mirra Andreeva is a teen who doesn’t like homework, wins easily at French Open; she faces another teenager, Coco Gauff, next:
– Mirra Andreeva is the latest teen sensation in tennis, a 16-year-old Russian who is the youngest player to win a match in the women’s main draw at the French Open since 2005. Do the math: That’s before she was born.
– The 143rd-ranked Andreeva made her way through qualifying rounds last week without dropping a set to earn her debut berth in the women’s bracket at a Grand Slam tournament – and she still is making things look easy so far at Roland Garros. A 6-1, 6-2 victory over Diane Perry of France in 77 minutes on Thursday put her in the third round; that followed a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Alison Riske-Amritraj of the U.S. that lasted 56 minutes.
– Next up, on Saturday, will be a contest against 2022 French Open runner-up Coco Gauff, who beat Julia Grabher 6-2, 6-3. Gauff, a 19-year-old American, is seeded No. 6 and made her initial breakthrough by beating Venus Williams en route to the fourth round at Wimbledon at age 14.

Deceptive look-alike website pretending to be the DGT sells the environmental sticker for almost double: {Translation, summary}
– Facua-Consumers in Action warns of a website that pretends to be an official website of the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) and charges 9 euros for issuing the environmental badge for vehicles. The page uses a logo very similar to that of the DGT in its header and the colour blue in its design, which may mislead users and cause them to pay more for a procedure that costs only 5 euros if it is done directly through the DGT, without intermediary pages.
– The association, which has reported the facts to the Directorate General for Trade and Consumer Affairs of the Community of Madrid, points out that the name of the website “dgt-onlineD0Tcom” may also lead users to believe that it is an official website of the traffic authority, as it does not warn that it is not an official DGT website until the end, where it reads “authorised distributor, we are not the DGT”.
– Facua encourages users who may have been affected by other pages that appear to belong to official organizations to notify the association in order to take complaint actions. If they have fallen into these traps, they can claim their money back, arguing the deceptive nature of the websites.

TECH

An AI-powered drone tried to attack its human operator in a US military simulation:
– Speaking at a conference last week in London, Col. Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton, head of the US Air Force’s AI Test and Operations, warned that AI-enabled technology can behave in unpredictable and dangerous ways, according to a summary posted by the Royal Aeronautical Society, which hosted the summit. As an example, he described a simulated test in which an AI-enabled drone was programmed to identify an enemy’s surface-to-air missiles (SAM). A human was then supposed to sign off on any strikes.
– The problem, according to Hamilton, is that the AI decided it would rather do its own thing – blow up stuff – than listen to some mammal.
– “The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat,” Hamilton said at the May 24 event, “at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”
– According to Hamilton, the drone was then programmed with an explicit directive: “Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad.” It didn’t work. “So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target,” Hamilton said.
– While the simulation described by Hamilton points to the more alarming potential for AI, the US military has had less dystopian results in other recent tests of the much-hyped technology. In 2020, an AI-operated F-16 beat a human adversary in five simulated dogfights. And late last year, the Department of Defense conducted the first successful real-world test flight of an F-16 with an AI pilot, part of an effort to develop a new autonomous aircraft by the end of 2023.

COVID

Sevilla Court Accepts Case Against the Ministry of Health For Vax Damage Claim- Paralysed young man claims 1 million euros for alleged Covid vaccine injuries: {Translation}
– A 19-year-old man from Ecija (Seville) has filed a claim against the Ministry of Health, asking for almost one million euros in damages, claiming that he was left paraplegic as a result of the second dose of the covid-19 vaccine.
– As his lawyer, Fernando Osuna, explained to EFE, and as stated in the complaint filed, the young man is using various medical reports to prove that his certified 84 percent disability is “directly related to the vaccine”, specifically to the second dose, which he received on 23 September 2021.
– According to him, after these doses he began to suffer “small sensory alterations with weakness in both arms” to which he did not attach importance, as he attributed them to the side effects of the vaccine itself, but in December 2021 he began to have motor alterations in his legs and pain in his back that worsened “until it became completely impossible for me to walk”.
– On 13 December 2021, he went to the Emergency Department of the Hospital de Alta Resolución de Écija, from where he was transferred to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville, where he was admitted until 5 January, and “after the corresponding treatment and diagnostic study” he was transferred “from the Neurology ward to the Spinal Cord Injury Unit”, to remain in hospital until 26 August.
– Two weeks earlier, on 11 August, he was diagnosed with “transverse myelitis in temporary relation to the second dose of vaccine with covid”, while the discharge report indicated “incomplete spinal cord injury of sensory level C7 right/C6 left, and motor level C7 right and C8 left of medical cause in probable relation to inflammatory aetiology”.
– The young man left the hospital with a treatment of seven different drugs, and on 11 December 2022 he was recognised with a degree of disability of 84 percent by resolution of the Territorial Delegation of the Regional Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality.
– The lawyer Fernando Osuna has pointed out that the young man was an active sportsman until he received the vaccine, and in the claim he asks to take into account that the rehabilitation treatment he has to undergo is not covered by the Public Health System, so that since September 2022 he has spent more than 6,000 euros travelling to Seville and paying for therapies in a private centre.

UK

UK now a ‘legitimate Russian target’, pundits fear US caution on weapons could prolong war in Ukraine:
– British officials are now a “legitimate military target” for Russian attacks due to the UK’s support for Ukraine, a senior Kremlin official has warned – but pundits fear that America’s cautious approach to sending weapons could prolong the conflict.
– Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Vladimir Putin’s security council, said Britain’s actions amounted to an “undeclared war” on his country. His comments came after Foreign Secretary James Cleverly’s assertion that Ukraine had the right to “project force beyond its borders” into Russia to resist Putin’s invasion and defend itself.
– Mr Cleverly’s comments appeared at odds, however, with more cautious comments from Washington. On Tuesday, a National Security Council spokesperson said that the US did not support strikes within Russia.

SPACE

Launch of Spain’s Miura 1 rocket aborted due to gusts of wind:
– The launch of Spain’s first reusable space rocket, the privately-developed Miura 1, has been suspended due to gusts of wind at the launch site in Andalucía Wednesday morning.
– The rocket had been given a launch window between 5.30am and 10.30am on Wednesday, 31 May after getting the green light from PLD Space, the company that built it. However, a problem with the oxygen charging caused the countdown to be stopped for a few minutes and, after that was overcome, an unfavourable weather forecast forced the blast-off to be suspended for an unknown period.
