DoctorLaptop Computer Services:
– If you rely on your computer and want it running at peak performance, free of data collectors and trackers, an annual professional servicing is necessary. You wouldn’t drive your car till it runs out of oil before servicing it, would you? I do the most comprehensive cleaning and tune-up possible: verify all System files replacing any found to be corrupt, test all hardware and do hard disk sector repairs if needed, use 5 tool malware/adware/spyware/tracker removal protocol, clean out junk files/logs/history/etc., update Windows(or MacOS)+all drivers+programs and finally optimize your settings and registry for fastest overall performance.
– Heavily infected comps, computers taking more than 2 minutes to startup or shutdown, or showing error messages, those need a repair, not a maintenance service. HDD hard disks of 1000Gb or more add €10.

100,000 people protested in Madrid against the amnesty plan of Sanchez: {Translation}
– Some 100,000 people, according to the Government Delegation, have come this Sunday to the Plaza de Colón in Madrid to protest against the amnesty for those indicted for the procés, a measure demanded by ERC and Junts to support the investiture of the secretary general of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez.
– The 100,000 demonstrators are more than double the 40,000 who attended the PP rally in Madrid against the amnesty on 24 September. Today’s demonstration, organised under the slogan “Against the amnesty and Sánchez’s coup!” by the Denaes (Defence of the Spanish Nation) foundation, which is close to Vox, was attended by some of the leaders of the far-right party, including its leader, Santiago Abascal, who is one of the three members of the board of trustees of Denaes and was its president until 2014. In the demonstration, full of Spanish flags, there were signs with slogans such as “To prison”, in reference to the pro-independence leaders and the acting prime minister.
– In addition, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, participated in another act against the amnesty in Malaga with the Andalusian president, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla. “The Spaniards have not been consulted and no one has the consent of the citizens”, Feijóo defended.
– The former president of the Community of Madrid Esperanza Aguirre spoke this Sunday at the demonstration in Colón against Pedro Sánchez’s amnesty for coup perpetrators and in defence of the unity of Spain. “I’m here because I’m part of an association, ‘Pie en Pared’, dedicated to fighting the cultural battle. To say no to everything that the left wants to impose”, she declared. “What a shame to say that to improve Spain they are going to break Spain up. They have already said that amnesty is the first step, what they want is a referendum on self-determination, so what Sánchez wants is to do exactly the opposite of what our law of laws says, which is concord and consensus”, said Aguirre, who considers it “immoral to cite Spain” to defend the amnesty.

Mayor of Madrid demands that Migration Minister Escrivá “stop hiding” behind the government delegates and clarify the distribution of immigrants: {Translation}
– The Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has demanded that the Spanish Minister for Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá Belmonte, “stop hiding behind the government delegates” and clarify the criteria to be followed with regard to the distribution of immigrants.
– During his participation in ‘Madrid Criterium 2023’, Martínez-Almeida confirmed the arrival of “a first group of around 90 immigrants” in the capital. However, he insists that he does not know the official figures. “It does not seem appropriate or reasonable to me that the mayor of Madrid does not know how many immigrants there are at the moment in the city, nor what resources have been allocated to them,” said the mayor, who took the opportunity to criticise Escrivá’s alleged passivity.
– Almeida insisted that the minister should “show his face in front of the autonomous communities and town councils” and stop “hiding behind the government delegates” or “insulting anyone who does not think like him”. “I demand that Minister Escrivá tell us how many there are, what the distribution criteria are, what the necessary social resources are, where they are going to be and that he makes clear to us the time horizon of these immigrants in the city of Madrid”, he demanded in view of the lack of information on the matter.
– He also warned that the Social Services are not prepared for the arrival of immigrants precisely because “they know nothing”. “As we know nothing, there is little we can do about it”, he concluded.

94% of Spanish companies have not received a single euro from European funds: {Translation, summary}
– European Next Generation EU funds are not reaching the vast majority of companies. According to data provided by the European Commission, only 6% of Spanish businesses have benefited from this mechanism, which is equivalent to some 200,000 companies out of a total of 3.4 million in our country.
– Spain’s government reported the absolute figure in the last implementation report of the Recovery Plan, published in February this year. “More than 150,000 companies have already received European funds,” it said in the report, as if that were a grand achievement. Spain did not contextualise the figure with the potential beneficiaries of this mechanism, as the EU executive does- exposing the poor distribution of the funds to struggling businesses due to Spanish mismanagement.
– Additionally, Spain has yet to publish the list of the 100 largest beneficiaries of European funds, which Brussels has been demanding since the beginning of this year, and which 22 countries have already submitted. Spain has missed the suggested deadline for providing the last two reports that were due and is now ten months behind. The regulation stipulates that countries must update the lists twice a year, and the European Commission suggested that this should be done in April and October (before the 15th), coinciding with the six-monthly reports.

ANDALUCIA
Andalucia begins vaccination against flu and covid this Monday for people over 60 years of age and professional groups: {Translation, summary}
– Andalusia begins this Monday, October 30, the third phase of the 2023/2024 flu and covid vaccination campaign that began on October 9. Thus, people over 60 years of age, as well as other professional groups (Security Forces and Corps, livestock farmers, penitentiary institutions) will be able to receive both vaccines.

The number of people living on the streets increases by 50% in one year in Malaga: {Translation, summary}
– Malaga has 50% more people living on the streets than a year ago. Some 200 compared to 133 then, according to calculations offered by Cáritas Diocesiana on the occasion of the Day of the Homeless, which takes place this Sunday. A figure that, according to the institution, is accompanied by another negative one, which is that the 348 accommodation places in the Homeless Care Network, which also has specific dining, hygiene and laundry services, are currently “at maximum capacity”. These figures are being reached at a time when the economic context is changing, with a considerable increase in inflation in recent months.
– In this sense, according to María Rosa Gutiérrez, head of Social Action at Cáritas, the rise in the price of housing, both in terms of rent and mortgage payments, has contributed “to a large extent” to this increase in the number of people on the streets. “Many of them come to this because they can’t afford to keep their homes”, she says. Also because normally people who are on the verge of eviction because they lack the liquidity to pay for all their expenses prioritise other expenses- “The most important thing is to eat…”.
– Another aggravating factor once a person loses their home is the rising prices of other housing alternatives (budget hotels, rooming houses, homes accepting boarders, etc.) that “make it impossible to find a home”. This is why he calls for “more solutions to be promoted from the public sector, which until now have been insufficient, such as the construction of more subsidised housing”.

MARBELLA
Three hooded men open fire on lunchtime shoppers in Guadalmina (Marbella):
– Two men have been treated for gunshot wounds after a shooting this Saturday lunchtime in Marbella, according to sources. Witnesses raised the alarm after hearing numerous gunshots in the vicinity of the A-7, near the Guadalmina shopping area {pic}. One of the victims was shot in the hand, sources said, while the other had gunshot wounds to the pelvis, an arm and a leg.
– The gun attack was apparently carried out by three hooded men who, sources told SUR, fled the scene in a vehicle. The incident caused panic in the area. Full article & photo: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/marbella-san-pedro/two-injured-shooting-marbella-20231028184240-nt.html
PETS
These are the only cases in which you can euthanise your pet according to animal law: {Translation}
– Pet owners are sometimes forced to face a very difficult decision on an emotional level when their pet is in pain and has lost its quality of life due to illness or old age. In this sense, euthanasia or killing for animal welfare reasons has undergone changes with the Animal Rights and Welfare Protection Act that both owners and veterinarians must take into account.
– Firstly, the law affects all domestic animals. Pending approval of the positive list defining which animals are considered pets, the rules now refer to all companion animals and wild animals in captivity.
– Secondly, euthanasia can only be carried out by veterinary professionals using legal methods that guarantee humane status. It can never be done on a personal basis. In addition, veterinarians must accredit and certify that the killing of a pet is justified to “avoid suffering due to non-recoverable causes that seriously compromise the animal’s quality of life”, according to article 27 of the Animal Welfare Law.
– The law also expressly prohibits “the sacrifice in animal protection centres (public or private), veterinary clinics and zoos in general for economic reasons, overpopulation, lack of places, impossibility of finding an adopter within a certain period of time, abandonment of the person legally responsible, old age, illness or injury with the possibility of treatment, whether palliative or curative, due to behavioural problems that can be redirected”.
– However, the law leaves many loopholes in the actions of veterinarians, who are confronted with this situation practically every day, especially with regard to those owners who, for economic reasons, cannot afford palliative medication in cases of chronic illness or an operation with no guarantee of recovery for their pet.
– In this sense, the Directorate General for Animal Rights has accepted the proposal presented by the Veterinary Collegiate Organisation (OCV) to justify euthanasia procedures so that -under clinical criteria- animals are euthanised in situations where the cause is not recoverable or, even when treatment exists, when the owners have difficulties to cope with it or to provide it to their pet (economic, handling difficulties, physical incapacity of the owner to attend to the animal’s needs, geographical distances incompatible with chronic treatments…).
– In this way, the CPVO points out, “one of the aspects that was causing most concern about the new regulations among the veterinary profession, and especially among clinicians dedicated to pets who, after the entry into force of the Law and in the absence of its regulatory development, had doubts about their actions in this type of circumstances, has been clarified”.
– When a veterinary clinic euthanises a pet, they are normally also responsible for the deregistration of the animal in the pet registry and its incineration. According to the law, “the deregistration of a pet due to death must be accompanied by a document certifying that it was cremated or buried by a company officially recognised for the performance of such activities, stating the identification number of the deceased animal and the name and surname of the person responsible or, failing that, that there is a record in the databases of the company that took care of the corpse”. It also adds that if it is impossible to recover the carcass, it must be properly documented.
– The euthanasia of animals with inadequate means or by unqualified personnel is considered a very serious offence punishable by a fine of 50,000 to 200,000 euros. In addition, according to the amendment of the Penal Code regarding animal abuse, any person who causes the death of a domestic animal in cases not regulated by law faces a prison sentence of 12 to 24 months, in addition to the penalty of special disqualification for two to four years for the exercise of the profession related to animals.
