Confirmed: UK nationals will not be required to obtain a visa for Switzerland after Brexit, even for lengthy stays, the Swiss government announced on Friday.
The visa exemption will come into force on the day on the day that the current Swiss–EU bilateral agreement on the free movement of persons (AFMP) ceases to apply in the case of Brexit, the Swiss government said in a statement.

DoctorLaptop Alert: Windows 10 Update Assistant just offered me the brand new Windows 10 Creator’s Update to v1903. As always, new comps will receive the update first, then older models will follow. If your comp is more than 3 yrs old I STRONGLY suggest you get prepared now. Do a full system image backup to an external memory device and get your system updated to v1809 asap if it has not already done so.
After you do receive the v1903 update everyone needs to check their System Restore and be sure it is turned on and has at least 1% space allocated for Restore Points. These Creator’s Updates tend to reset System Restore and delete all the saved Restore Points from the pre-update version of Windows.
Also beware, if your computer was installed with a non-English version of Windows, and the display language has been changed with a Language Pack, it may revert to the original display language after a Creator’s Update. Not always, but I have seen it happen many times!

 

Pets

Lost cat: Blanca, my much loved 4 year old white female cat went missing in the Sayalonga campo on Saturday 17th March. Although completely white, she is neutered, not deaf but very timid. I live on the ridge road (La Rabita) crossroads just above Sayalonga village. Gail.

NERJA SWIMMING ALERT!: Don’t swim in the sea. SEPRONA WARNS THAT THE PRESENCE OF FECAL BACTERIA IN THE WATER CAN PRODUCE A RISK OF GASTROENTERITIS 
Translation of article Diario Sur:
Nerja The Institute of Toxicology has analyzed the water and concludes that the presence of fecal bacteria poses a risk of gastroenteritis and skin infection.
An “uncontrolled submarine landfill” . This is how the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Guardia Civil defines the state of Nerja’s funds in the vicinity of the two emissaries that, approximately one kilometer from the coast and some 40 meters deep, lead to the sea to all the flow of fecal waters of the municipality.
The Seprona has reached this conclusion after analyzing the funds of Nerja with the help of the agents of the Group of Underwater Activities (GEAS) and the researchers of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO). The scientists calculated that in the vicinity of the emissaries of Burriana and Torrecilla there was a “crust” of garbage of 20 meters in diameter and up to three meters in height. In total, about nine tons of wipes, according to scientists.
Unsustainable situation The Seprona’s diagnosis of the result of the lack of sanitation in Nerja – “an uncontrolled submarine landfill” – leaves little doubt about the seriousness of a chronic situation with risks to bathers’ health due to faecal bacteria and serious environmental deterioration. Nerja, the only large municipality on the coast without a sewage treatment plant, has for too long been the victim of institutional neglect in this area, entrusted more to the fate of the tides and to the municipal fudge to repair its emissaries, which have been broken several times. Reporting on the judicial investigation in progress can be seen by some as contrary to the interests of the municipality, when in fact it fulfills a duty of coherence in the continued denunciation of the deficit of sanitation, now under exhaustive investigation. Nerja should leave the blacklist of discharges as soon as possible, and that means accelerating the works of the treatment plant, repairing the serious deterioration in the funds by accumulation of wipes and waste and having emissaries at the height of a sanitation system from which today they are only a precarious patch.
The agents and scientists of the Oceanographic have come to the conclusion that the Nerja background is suffering, in these areas, a mutation process , favoring the appearance of new opportunistic marine species as well as the proliferation of algae due to the accumulation of organic waste, as it happens, for example, in a raft, where the tonality of the water is of greenish color.
Researchers have also observed that the discharges emanating from the emissaries are at the mercy of marine currents , whose conditions contribute to the dispersion of pollutants. However, this displacement of waste tends to occur more horizontally than vertically given the different layers and currents inside the water column, which prevents that, at least in a nearby environment, these rubbish come out.
In addition to analyzing the seabed, the agents took different samples of the water and sent them to the Institute of Toxicology in Seville , and more specifically to the Toxicological Assessment and Environment Service. On November 23, 2018, they issued a report in which they concluded that wastewater discharges through the Torrecilla and Burriana emissaries can cause “substantial damage” to water quality, which could limit their use for water. bath, besides being a health risk and affecting the balance of marine systems.
SEPRONA WARNS THAT THE PRESENCE OF FECAL BACTERIA IN THE WATER CAN PRODUCE A RISK OF GASTROENTERITIS
This hypothetical danger to health is specified by Seprona in his investigation, which is already in the hands of the Court of Instruction No. 2 of Torrox and the Environmental Prosecutor’s Office, warning that the presence of faecal bacteria in the water -as It has been found in the analyzed samples – it can entail risk of suffering from gastroenteritis (in the case of swallowing it in abundance) or cutaneous type infections. Researchers also consider that this contribution of organic matter to the marine environment can affect photosynthesis and the formation of plankton. And all of this, in sum, can mean a decrease in biological diversity.
On the contrary, the last annual report by the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare on the quality of bathing water in Spain, dating from 2017, gives the rating of “excellent” to all the beaches of Nerjeño. The organism puts the same note to all the beaches of the province, except to the one of Venus-Bajadilla, in Marbella, which stays in “good” quality. The parties ask for a solution, but they try to avoid responsibilities «It is very sad to see the wipes stuck against the rocks, we hope for a solution» The seabed of Nerja accumulates nine tons of wipes for untreated discharges

Recommendations

Stolen!: This Trek mountain bike was stolen from my apartment in Laguna Beach Complex, Torrox Costa, between 12 and 1pm, Sunday 24th March. The thieves forced a ground floor window and climbed into the conservatory/balcony. Black/blue frame, with white front forks. Black saddle with a white gel saddle cover. Attached to the handlebars was a Garmin GPSMAP 64. Also stolen was a grey helmet and tyre pump. Complex was full of weekenders, so it’s probably on its way to Madrid, or Granada. If seen, please contact Torrox Guardia Civil, or me, on WhatsApp 608667883. John.

Weekend Tech News by DoctorLaptop
-Pirate IPTV: Police Across Europe Carry Out ‘Largest Ever’ Operation. As it turns out some of the large IPTV providers, that may also offer fiber optic & internet, which makes them appear to be legit operators, are selling pirated stream subscriptions. Police carried out 14 simultaneous raids, eight of them in Spain (in Malaga, Madrid and Alicante), four in Denmark, and two in the UK. Five people were arrested and now stand accused of a variety of crimes, from IP offenses to fraud and money laundering. Ten others gave statements to police.
The investigation began in late 2015 following a complaint filed by the UK’s Premier League against a Malaga-based website offering IPTV subscription packages providing “a multitude of international conditional access channels”, i.e, otherwise premium subscription-based content.
Following the complaint, police in Spain made efforts to verify the illegal activity, which included the provision of more than 800 television channels, on demand content, and radio stations. The packages offered by the unlicensed provider cost 40 euros per month and could go up to 460 euros, depending on subscription duration.
The investigation revealed various social network accounts through which the service attracted more customers, plus a network of 20 additional websites offering the same product.
“To give the illicit business the appearance of legality and to launder the profits, they created companies with lawful activity and a stated objective related to the provision of telecommunications services, internet and hardware,” Spanish police explain. “On the one hand, they had the technical and technological infrastructure necessary to carry out their legal business (fiber operators) and also the illicit business (illegal IPTV subscriptions). On the other, they were authorized operators for fiber. It served as an argument for customers to believe that they were also in the business of distributing foreign channels.”
The operators, therefore, allegedly mixed legal revenue with illegal, in order to raise as little suspicion as possible. However, that didn’t stop the police from noticing their luxury lifestyles.

-“Google Unlocked” Aims to ‘Uncensor’ Google Search Results: Can’t find a site using Google Search, even though you know for a fact it used to be there? Many users don’t bother making bookmarks, relying on Google Search to find the site again and again. Then one day it’s gone! Google may be censoring it for possible copyright infractions. Google Unlocked, a new extension for Chrome and Firefox, scans for hidden links that were censored due to requests from copyright holders to remove allegedly-infringing content from its indexes. This extension extracts the censored links and puts them back into Google results. Google honors most DMCA take-down requests but rejects a fair few too, often due to the reported activity not actually being copyright infringement. However, when links are removed, users are informed of the fact via a note at the bottom of Google’s search results. Here is a screenshot of a search for “action movies” with censored notice, and links where you can get this extension.

VI Early & Sacred Music Festival “La Liebre de Marzo”: TRÍO POLIMNIA – Goldberg Variations
23 March – 8’00PM – Casa del Apero (Frigiliana)
The “Goldberg Variations”, originally called by Bach “Aria with various variations for key with two keyboards” was composed over several years and published in 1741 as the fourth part of the “Clavier-Übung”, something like “Exercises for keyboard “for demanding amateurs. The first three parts were: the first, Six partitas for code; the second, the Italian Concert and the French Overture; and the third, the German Mass for organ and four duets for key.
The fact that the publication was produced in 1741 or 1742, that is, during the author’s lifetime, is a rarity. However, it is almost certain that its composition would be years earlier, since a manuscript copy of the aria has been found in a notebook of Bach’s second wife, Anna Magdalena dated around 1725, although it could have been added later.
Most likely, either Goldberg, or Keyserlingk himself, got a copy of that first edition, perhaps delivered by Bach himself to his protector on a trip to Dresden, and so much was the Count’s thanks and both interpreted his harpsichordist that, with the passage of the years, everybody knows them like “Goldberg Variations”.
Day and hour: March 23th – 8’00pm
Place: Casa de Cultura “Casa del Apero” – Frigiliana
Address: 12, Cuesta del Apero Street – Frigiliana
Price: 15’00€
Booking: 690073871 / ventana.abierta.acp AT gmail DOT com

Book signing by local author John Hardy
John Hardy will be selling signed copies of his books at Nerja Residents Day on Sunday 24th March 12 – 5 pm at the Plaza de España.
He will have copies of the recently published book ‘Driven by Conflict’, a collection of stories about people involved in conflicts of many and various kinds, from the domestic to the international. Some of the stories are bleak, as stories of war and hostilities often are, whilst others are much lighter and even of a humorous nature. Many of them are romances and love stories. The conflicts and wars which are behind the stories range in time from 1000 BC up until the present day. They take place mainly in Europe and the Middle East and the majority are events that involve Great Britain, Spain and Israel, and the hostilities that they were involved in.
All his other books will also be available, including books of short stories of crime and mystery, some set in the Axarquía. Some of these have been translated into Spanish and German.
For more information on all his books, visit www.johnhardybooks.com or contact

Sending files that are too big for an email attachment: Mozilla has finally launched its free, end-to-end encrypted file-transfer service, called Firefox Send, to the public, allowing Firefox Web-Browser users to securely share large files like video, audio or photo files that can be too big to fit into an email attachment. Firefox Send allows you to send files up to 1GB in size, but if you sign up for a free Firefox account, you can upload files as large as 2.5GB in size. The service uses a browser-based encryption technology that encrypts your files before uploading them to the Mozilla server, which can only be decrypted by the recipients.
It’s just an online website where you can quickly upload a file (and protect it with a password if you like) and set an expiration period after which it will be deleted. Simply share the link it generates with whomever you want to have it. The recipients can then simply download the file just by visiting the shared link regardless of whether they use Firefox or not.  https://send.firefox.com/

Windows News by DoctorLaptop
-The prices for a new copy of Windows 10 on the Microsoft website have gone up despite many writers suggesting there would be discounts as the end of Windows 7 approaches. New prices: Win 10 Home €145, Win 10 Pro €259. Have you made your System recovery disk image yet? If your hard drive quits you don’t want to have to buy a new copy of Win 10! Go to Settings/Recovery for instructions.
-Windows has now “recommended” no computers more than 3 yrs old be upgraded to Windows 10, they say you should buy a new computer before Win 7 goes obsolete in 9 months. Here are some new quotes from Microsoft’s Support page. Oh, and they want you to buy your new laptop from them or one of their sponsored distributors (BestBuy/Walmart/CostCo/Amazon).
“You can purchase and download Windows 10 on your device today. Although, if your computer is more than three years old, it might be time to consider upgrading to a new device.”
“While you could continue to use your PC running Windows 7, without continued software and security updates, it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware. Going forward, the best way for you to stay secure is on Windows 10. And the best way to experience Windows 10 is on a new PC. While it is possible to install Windows 10 on your older device, it is not recommended.”
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-end-of-life-support-information?icid=CXSMC_win7upgrade
-Many new computer processors will only be able to run Windows 10. Not Windows 7/8.1 or Linux. If you want to use these alternative systems you will have to buy a model that is Linux compatible, and you will pay more for this privilege (a monopolistic move by MS to crush the competition). If you want Win 10 but think you may ever want to use Linux (as Win 10 clamps down on 3rd party software and finds ever new ways to invade your privacy), be sure to buy a “Windows 10 + Linux compatible” laptop. -DoctorLaptop,  for all your computer repairs find my contact info in the Sponsor’s Section below.
