GRANADA

Sierra Nevada faces Holy Week with more than 60 kilometers of ski trails: {Translation, summary}
– The winter resort of Sierra Nevada faces Easter with 66 kilometers of open slopes and all the operative skiable slope, the 1,200 meters that separate the vicinity of the Veleta peak and the urbanization of Pradollano. A total of 16 ski lifts will serve the skiable offer distributed in the areas of Rio, Borreguiles, Veleta, Laguna and Loma de Dílar (partial), according to the direction of the station.
– Due to the closure of the lower area of Loma de Dílar, the Sulayr snowpark will be moved to the area of Borreguiles, in the so-called Audi slope, where it will remain until the end of the season and where the Andalusian Slope Style Championship will be held, among other freestyle events.
– The snow thicknesses, of spring quality, range from 20 centimeters at the end of El Río to 2 meters at Laguna de las Yeguas. Both snow activities for non-skiers in Pradollano (Mirlo blanco) and Borreguiles will be open at their usual times.
– Sports events such as the Andalusian Slope Style Championship or the Alpine Skiing Championship and the music sessions in Borreguiles will take place during Easter in the Sierra Nevada snow area.
– After the holiday period, Sierra Nevada plans, weather and snow conditions permitting, to keep open from April 21 to May 4 the areas of Borreguiles, Veleta, Laguna -and the high slopes of Loma de Dílar-, which will be served by the Al Ándalus gondola lift, Borreguiles and Dauro II carpets, Zayas chairlift and the Emile Allais, Stadium, Emilio Reyes and Laguna chairlifts.

UK

Mother Arrested, Held In Police Cell In UK, For Confiscating Her Own Daughters’ iPads:
– Yes, really. It’s the latest insane story of police overreach from the backwards UK, where stabbings are just an everyday occurrence and robberies are not even investigated, but people saying mean words about the ‘wrong’ things are thrown in prison. Now responsible parenting is the target.
– The LBC report notes: History teacher Vanessa Brown, 50, spent seven-and-a-half hours in a custody cell on March 26 this year, following a claim she had stolen two iPads which were traced to her mother’s house in Cobham, Surrey. Yet it transpired that the two devices belonged to her daughters, and Ms Brown had merely confiscated them to encourage them to focus on their schoolwork, a fact Surrey Police has now acknowledged. “I find it quite traumatic even talking about this now,” Ms Brown recalled. “At no point did they [the officers] think to themselves, ‘Oh, this is a little bit of an overreaction for a moment, confiscating temporarily her iPads and popping over to her mum’s to have a coffee’. It was just a complete overreaction.
– It isn’t made exactly clear who reported the iPads stolen, but it seems to have been the ex-partner of the woman. In any case, why on Earth did police waste their time on this? Isn’t there enough actual crime to deal with? The police also prevented the woman from speaking to her own children following the accusation. They also pulled one of the children out of school for questioning.
– Neil O’Brien, a Tory MP and shadow education minister, commented on the incident, noting “This is beyond absurd. People are having phones snatched all the time and police won’t follow up even when they know where they are, yet a law abiding person can end up in a cell for hours on end for taking away their own kids’ iPads.”
– Richard Tice, the deputy Reform UK leader, said that the “world has gone mad,”adding that “Police need to catch real criminals not mums looking after their children!”
– Greg Smith, the shadow business minister, added his criticism, remarking “Absolutely mad. A parent chooses when their child gets screen time and anything that challenges that is absolutely bonkers.”
– Harry Miller, a former police officer who works with the free speech campaign group Fair Cop, urged that police in the UK are becoming “Stasi like”. “They have become agents of a state orthodoxy rather than upholders of the law. It shows a complete lack of awareness of what theft is – a parent confiscating an iPad doesn’t even come close to meeting that definition,” he urged. “I think they should do more than apologise and remove themselves from office, because operating like that is a form of kidnap,” Miller continued. “They repeatedly overreach and they seem to have taken it upon themselves to become social engineers. That is not the role of the police,” he further asserted.
– The incident comes on the heels of another shocking story of parents being arrested for criticising their children’s school in a WhatsApp group. Americam VP JD Vance was right, the UK now operates within a full on dystopian apparatus.

EUROPE

The European digital ID card will put an end to your passwords, and your privacy, while ushering in the Digital Euro: {Translation}
– Surely password policies, each one demanding a different length, alphanumeric characters, signs, numbers and an endless number of whims of the security manager on duty, drive you crazy. All this is going to end very soon, with the arrival of the European digital ID card. But all that glitters is not gold.
– The European Union has promoted the European electronic ID card or electronic identity recognition system (eIDAS) with the promise of simplifying our digital lives. A single identity document valid in all Member States, which can be carried on a cell phone or smart card, will allow identification, signing documents and carrying out formalities without the need for multiple passwords. In addition, it will have advanced security protocols, which ensures the protection of personal data, or at least so they assure.
– However, beneath this apparent convenience lies a not inconsiderable threat to our privacy. The eIDAS not only centralizes our entire digital identity in a single medium, but also turns the mobile device into a key element of identification. This means that if the device is lost or stolen, not only would access to our personal accounts be compromised, but our entire identity would also be exposed. The thief could impersonate our identity in virtually all areas of daily life.
– In addition, this digital ID opens the door to mass surveillance of citizens. The fact that all identity information is centralized and instantly accessible facilitates the creation of complete profiles on our habits, movements and decisions. Are we willing to hand over this power to the State or even to private companies that manage such data?
– Furthermore, in order to use the European digital ID, it is necessary to install the EU digital wallet app, which will integrate the European ID with the digital euro, providing a very effective Trojan horse to facilitate the deployment of this ECB-controlled cryptocurrency.
– As a side effect, although eIDAS promises greater security against fraud and the elimination of passwords, it could have the opposite effect. This is because, once the interfaces with the European digital wallet are developed, most websites will ask for a simple click on your mobile to log in, instead of the site’s email and password, as is currently the case. This, which is much more convenient, also means that your ID card will be circulating in many, many places on the Internet, sometimes completely opaque with respect to the security that the website in question is applying to this sensitive data. Identity theft and fraud will be just around the corner, in all likelihood.
– It seems that, once again, the European institutions go at their own pace and live in their own universe, which tends to be increasingly distant from the reality experienced by citizens. And it cannot be forgotten that perfect systems in theory can lead to abuses in practice. The question that arises is: do we really need this extreme digitalization or are we moving towards a future where individual freedom is subordinated to technological efficiency? Is it really in our interest to have everything at a click?
– Historically it has been said that people tend to give up some of their freedom in favor of their security. Now it seems that both vital parameters – freedom and security – are going to be diminished in exchange for convenience. We should ask ourselves whether we should continue with the idea of building a society oriented towards comfort, which in its maximum expression becomes laziness, idleness or idleness, as we prefer to call it, or, on the contrary, we should give more priority to the human development of the person and the values that have differentiated us from the rest of the animals for millennia: spirituality, intellectuality, reason, love, solidarity and many more. Perhaps we are reaching the moment to demand a second era of Enlightenment. Or maybe we should just let ourselves go and see what happens.
– In any case, remember that for you the digital ID will be a step forward as long as you ask yourself when and for what you are making the next click. Don’t give away clicks for free, unless you are willing to gradually lose your place on this planet.

UKRAINE WAR

Russian missiles hit the center of the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Sunday:
– Officials say the death toll is more than 30, including two children. It is one of the deadliest attacks by Russia in Ukraine in recent months as Moscow pushes on with its more than three-year-long invasion of its neighbor.
– Zelenskyy said the attack involved two Russian ballistic missiles, with some 117 people wounded, including children.

HEALTH

RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism by September:
– The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a “massive testing and research effort” aimed at determining the cause of the “autism epidemic” by September, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Thursday.
– Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic who has cited supposed links between immunizations and rising childhood rates of autism, expressed concern during a White House Cabinet meeting about the “most recent numbers” showing that 1-in-31 children are being diagnosed with autism – up from 1-in-10,000 decades ago.
– “We’ve launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world,” the HHS secretary told President Trump. “By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic, and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures.”
– “It’s a horrible statistic,” Trump said of the latest autism rate figures. “There’s got to be something artificial out there that’s doing this.” The president floated that “maybe it’s a shot” that’s causing autism rates to spike.
– In an interview with Fox News, Kennedy indicated that vaccines will be among several variables scientists plan to explore. “We are going to look at vaccines, but we’re going to look at everything,” Kennedy said. “Everything is on the table: Our food system, our water, our air, different ways of parenting, all the kind of changes that may have triggered this epidemic.” “It is an epidemic. Epidemics are not caused by genes … you need an environmental toxin,” the former environmental lawyer said.
– Kennedy was adamant during his Senate confirmation hearing that he was not “antivaccine” and earlier this week he expressed support for people getting measles vaccinations amid a deadly outbreak of the disease in Texas. “My position is people should get the measles vaccine,” he told CBS News.

SPORT

Carlos Alcaraz beats Lorenzo Musetti and wins the Monte Carlo Masters:
– Carlos Alcaraz says he is “proud” of how he coped with a “difficult month” after he fought back to beat Lorenzo Musetti and win the Monte Carlo Masters. The four-time major champion made a slow start but grew in confidence and quality to overcome the Italian 3-6 6-1 6-0 on the clay.
– It was a competitive match for a set and a half before Musetti, bidding for the biggest prize of his career, began to struggle with a leg injury. The success was a sixth ATP Masters 1000 trophy for Alcaraz – his first since Indian Wells last year – and an 18th title overall. Full article: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c4gr842jev0o

TECH

Your Car Is Spying on You. Automobiles Have Become a ‘Privacy Nightmare’:
– Automobiles today are giant rolling sensors, from the tires to the entertainment system, tracking not only your driving habits but recording personal information about you, completely unrelated to driving. Experts call them a “privacy nightmare.” New cars can collect more data about you than anything else you own, including your cell phone, and for good reason. Driver data has been valued at $400 billion. In fact, your car is far from private. A study by Mozilla’s ‘Privacy Not Included’ project found cars to be the worst product for privacy they’ve ever tested.
– The fine print on Nissan’s privacy statement from 2023 says it may collect “Sensitive personal information, including…citizenship status, immigration status, race, national origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual activity…health diagnosis data, and genetic information.” After an uproar, the company’s most recent privacy statement omits the collection of “sexual” and “genetic” information.
– Some new car owners have seen their premiums go up after their insurance company received their driving data. AMICO Insurance says when data is shared with insurance companies, “Some stuff is more obvious. Am I slamming on the brakes really hard? Running red lights? Some of them are a little bit less obvious, like which areas are you driving at? What time are you driving?” The top automotive trade group in the U.S., the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, insists your car isn’t spying on you, it’s “keeping you safe.”
– Used cars have another privacy problem. One YouTuber shared that after selling his Volvo, the next owner never reset the car’s security profile. “So I can log in to my old car’s app that is still on my phone and I can see every single place that the new owner has gone, from the school their kids go to, the church, to where they work, to where their house is, physical address, right in the driveway. I know everything about them,” he said. 
– Polling shows an overwhelming majority of car buyers want to control their own data. The first thing new or used cars buyers should do is shut off as much of the data collection as possible. Open up the settings of the infotainment system, see if there’s any privacy settings that you can change, then do the same thing in the corresponding app on your phone.
– The old saying of “let the buyer beware” has never been more true than when buying a new car. Full article: https://cbn.com/news/us/your-car-spying-you-automobiles-have-become-privacy-nightmare 

FROM THE “WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING” DEPARTMENT

Two Biological Men Compete for USA Fencing Women’s Championship:
– Two men will compete for the USA Fencing championship. This is one week after Stephanie Turner refused to compete against a man, Redmond Sullivan. Sullivan already won two gold medals in just six events against women, versus a personal-best third place against men throughout 2021-2023.
– Sen. Ted Cruz wrote to USA Fencing, asking how many women were forced to compete against men and if there were any injuries. Cruz sent a notification to USA Fencing, “Comply with federal law, protect women’s sports or lose your governing body status.” We don’t know if he received a response.
– USA Fencing said they allowed biological men in the competition to create safe and inclusive spaces for everyone. How does that work out for women who don’t have the physical power of a man?
