Opening and recruiting: Dear creative people, My name is Yolanda de Wilde Gijzemijter and I am the owner of La Yola concept store in Vélez-Malaga, which will open its doors within a few weeks. This type of store is becoming increasingly well known in northern Europe and there are already a number of them in northern Spain.
In the store I sell gorgeous (handmade) original products from (small) entrepreneurs/webshops/illustrators who would like to sell their products in a physical store. Think of baby and children’s clothing, trendy modern jewelry, (hand) bags, home accessories, lamps, stationary, decoration, pillows, skin care products etcetera.
The concept of the store is actually quite simple. You can rent sales space for a monthly fee. These sales areas are for example a shelf in a closet, a sideboard, display case, table, wall rack and so on, there are many possibilities. The space and price will be discussed. As we present your products attractively, promote them (online) and wrap them up nicely if desired, La Yola asks 10% commission on the sold items. Once a month we pay you the proceeds of the products sold. And you pay us the rent for the agreed space every month. That’s it!
I am actively present on social media and will also promote your brand. I use a real-time sales / cash register system so you can keep track of your own sales.
There are still spaces available, so if you would like to offer your products in a real shop and get extra promotion, then I would very much like to get in touch with you! Please send me some pictures of your products, a description of them and some information about yourself to yodewilde@gmail.com or contact me via WhatsApp (+34)600 79 43 25. And feel free to ask all your questions!
Besides, I am Dutch and also speak Spanish, English and German.

Vipassana and Loving Kindness Meditations: With all my heart I invite you to experience the goodness of meditation. In these crazy times all beings strive for peace and for love. Are these qualities still exist in the world, in us? How do we find them and where? What does it mean to be happy and to love unconditionally? Do I deserve it?
Where does health comes from?
Vipassana and Loving Kindness.
Awareness and Unconditional Love Duet.
Vipassana means insight, awareness, clear vision. It is a journey of self healing by observing. We observe our thoughts, sounds and feelings without judgement without reacting to them. WE JUST ARE.
The Loving Kindness educes, spreads and sends unconditional love form every cell of our body into and onto ourself and others.
Benefits of regular practice with the group:
• you will learn the techniques of calming the mind
• you will feel peace, and joy

• strengthen the nervous system
• strengthen willpower and concentration

Everyone is welcome, even if you never had any previous experience with meditation. You can join us on any Wednesday you like. You do not have to sit in the lotus pose, you can lie, sit on a chair or up against the wall.
What to bring: You, and yourself, open heart and mind, water, karimate or yoga mat (if you know you will be laying down), cushion, warm clothes, blanket.

RANSOMWARE Returns To Spain: VIRAL Story DOMINATING The Spanish Tech and Business News Today. If you own a business and do not have robust, professionally managed IT security in place you are taking a large risk. Daily backup may help you recover, but many smaller companies without a dedicated IT department don’t even do weekly backups! Can you afford to be locked out of your data? Can you afford to pay ransom? Everis, one of the largest IT consulting companies in Spain, suffered a targeted ransomware attack on Monday, forcing the company to shut down all its computer systems until the issue gets resolved completely. The attackers asked Everis for a €750,000 ($835,923) ransom to get a decryption key to unlock their files as reported by bitcoin.es. Spain’s largest radio station SER (Sociedad Española de Radiodifusión) confirmed it had also been hit, saying it had suffered an attack “of the ransomware type” which has had a serious and widespread effect on all of all its computer systems.”
Here are some articles explaining the very serious situation. If you need fast, affordable help to get your business IT security up to current standards call DoctorLaptop on 675 993 069 (no calls before 11am answered, missed calls returned asap). I can test your local office network and wifi and internet/router connections to resolve any weak points, do a cloud interface security analysis of all cloud accounts, and check individual computers for infection and adequate protection. I can also review your data handling protocols for vulnerabilities. And please, don’t rely on a single free antivirus app to protect a valuable business. In today’s world all businesses need to budget for internet security and computer maintenance.

Public Health Care Tragedy, Why Second Opinions Are Necessary: Spanish Health Service slammed for cancer death. Administrative Court No. 7 of Malaga has awarded a family €51,000 after a 38 year old woman was repeatedly misdiagnosed by medical staff which would eventually lead to her death from cancer. After 2 years, finally fed up of the lack of proper diagnosis she went to a private clinic where she immediately was given an x-ray and MRI scan which revealed a large cancerous mass on her spine!
During the trial it was stated that the patient underwent seven consultations until the correct diagnosis was made, “There was an unjustified delay in the diagnosis of the disease. The action of the public health contrasts with that of a primary care doctor to whom the patient went privately.”

How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your pics into a single collage pic by using this free (you need to provide email) online tool. So by using this tool, each pic submitted may actually be many more pics combined. https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/

Telling friends about DigameXtra: Please do not hand out the submission email to persons who are not already Digamextra subscribers!! ONLY GIVE NEW READERS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS www.digameXtra.com!!

Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. With all the new Followers joining DigameXtra (5 on Halloween alone, Welcome!), I am far too busy helping them get started to keep track of partial submissions and patch them together.

Have Pirate IPTV Sellers on YouTube Lost Their Minds?: How Do They Get Away With Openly Offering Illegal Services On Youtube?
For followers of piracy and copyright infringement issues few developments fall into the ‘WOW’ category anymore.
When there are people in the UK using pirate IPTV services to access the BBC because it’s cheaper than paying for a licence, and can be setup in just 10 minutes, you know the digital entertainment market is in an untenable situation. Strangely, UK ‘Pirate IPTV Users’ favorite channels are “Free-to-Air”!!! https://torrentfreak.com/uk-pirate-iptv-users-favorite-channels-are-free-to-air-190915/
When La Liga distributed snartphone apps to show scores to fans last year, that secretly identify sports bars showing pirated footy matches, we knew the piracy war was heating up. https://www.npr.org/2019/06/12/732157537/spains-soccer-league-fined-for-using-app-to-spy-on-fans-in-fight-to-curb-piracy?t=1572909344450
With torrent and streaming services constantly getting sued or raided, often paying huge fines that only encourage the police to do more raids, we can be sure the attack on pirate content is not easing.
After the aggressive military-style raid and arrest by normally mellow New Zealand police on data-storage tycoon Kim Dotcom hit the headlines, pretty much anything is possible. https://www.wired.com/2012/08/kim-dotcom-raid/
Over the past couple of years, however, something so bizarre – so ridiculous – has been developing on sites like YouTube to make even the most outspoken of pirates raise an eyebrow. It’s the rise of the pirate IPTV seller and reseller ‘celebrities’ who are using the video platforms in openly promoting their businesses like a regular company might, with no attempt to disguise themselves. As everyone knows, anonymity is an essential component of successful piracy. So how and why is this happening? Do they know something we don’t know?

H&M to close its Vialia and Féliz Sáenz sites in Malaga and reopen in a combined store: Swedish clothing retailer H&M is to shut its two stores in the centre of Malaga and open a new two-floor site in the city’s revamped Centro Comercial Larios covered shopping mall.
The sites that will close are in Plaza Félix Sáenz, near the city’s main market, and at the Vialia mall, at the city’s main railway station.
The company has said that the change “is a natural development” and that staff will be relocated to other branches in Malaga province. The chain has already started liquidating stock at the two branches.

How to post more photos than the rules allow – use collages. You can combine several of your pics into a single collage pic by using this free (you need to provide email) online tool. So by using this tool, each pic submitted may actually be many more pics combined. https://www.fotor.com/create/collage/

Telling friends about DigameXtra: Please do not hand out the submission email to persons who are not already Digamextra subscribers!! ONLY GIVE NEW READERS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS www.digameXtra.com!! Be sure to tell them they must subscribe and read the Submissions Rules before sending in submissions!

Problem With Sunday Issue: Dear readers, I must apologize for publishing an incomplete Sunday issue. I was typing too fast and accidentally hit the Publish button when I should have hit the Preview button, thus publishing an incomplete draft rather than the finished issue. All submissions left out of the Sunday issue have been included in today’s issue. -Editor.

Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission. With all the new Followers joining DigameXtra (5 on Halloween alone, Welcome!), I am far too busy helping them get started to keep track of partial submissions and patch them together. Prompt personal assistance from a real human is one of the prime features that sets DigameXtra apart from Farcebook. -Editor

Overdraft fee- Supreme Court Has Ruled That Banks In Spain Are No Longer Allowed To Charge An Overdraft Fee: Banks in Spain are now no longer allowed to charge an overdraft fee, in addition to non-payment interest, following a recent verdict by the Supreme Court brought about by a customer of a Basque Country-based high-street entity.

Voter registration: Calling all UK citizens eligible to vote in the UK General Election! Did you know that if you have been living abroad for less than 15 years you can still vote in the UK General Election on the 12th December.
But to do this you have to register to vote. You can get a proxy vote – go to the voter registration site. Proxy votes are better than postal votes because you can’t count on the postal service to get your vote counted in time!  https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Prema Bar: I went to the Prema Bar cafe in Torre del Mar (Waterfront area Copo) for lunch. What a nice surprise! I ate the delicious lasagna, completely homemade, cook with fresh, healthy ingredients, fresh pasta rolled by hand. Very very good! Even the bruschetta was tasty and appetizing, prepared with tomatoes, garlic and basil from their vegetable garden, organic bread produced with sourdough. And finally a delicious chocolate cake, always homemade! I digested everything very well! Also in the room, there is a corner used as a shop, where you can buy organic products at 0Km and various seasonal vegetables from the garden of Prema. Peaceful environment and very friendly owners. I highly recommend specialties to lasagna lovers!
I saw that they have a facebook page @premacafeteriaheladeria

-New Chrome 0-day Bug, Under Active Attacks – Update Your Browser Now! Attention readers, if you are using Chrome on your Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, you need to update your web browsing software immediately to the latest version Google released Friday.
With the release of Chrome 78.0.3904.87, Google is warning billions of users to install an urgent software update immediately to patch two high severity vulnerabilities, one of which attackers are actively exploiting in the wild to hijack computers. https://thehackernews.com/2019/11/chrome-zero-day-update.html
-Firefox 70 not loading some pages or elements? Sites like YouTube or Facebook that use dynamic JavaScript may be affected. Here is a fix: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/10/29/firefox-70-not-loading-some-pages-or-elements-here-is-a-fix/
-Windows 10 Has Manditory Updates! The official end date for support for Windows 10 v1803 (the March 2018 Update) is November 12, 2019. Microsoft is urging people to make the jump to v1903; v1909 is due out any day now (a new designation will start being used, it will be called v19H2 for Year 2019 Second Half). Anyone still on v1803 will soon see this message displayed on the Windows Update Settings window:
“You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of support. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 now to get the latest features and security improvements.”
Note: If a computer is from mid 2012 or earlier and you’ve installed Windows 10 and this update breaks something, all is not lost. You have 10 days to go to Settings/Recovery and roll back to the previous version that was working.

50 More Shades of Grey?: Running until November 11, an exhibition entitled MIRUM by photographer José Antonio Suvires pulls back the curtain on the world of sadomasochism in a way which is not prurient but opens the door on a practice that is little understood.
The collection of 28 photographs can be viewed free of charge between 10am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday at la Casa Museo in the Plaza de la Libertad de Mijas.
There is no guarantee that the models featured in our photograph will be on hand when you visit but there will certainly be plenty to catch your eye and perhaps educate on what is quite a secret world.
There are images of an adult nature, so those who might be offended or have children on hand might wish to consider whether a visit would be appropriate.  https://www.euroweeklynews.com/2019/11/02/behind-the-curtain/

Police on the hunt for Halloween attacker in Nerja: Police in Nerja are on the hunt for a young man who allegedly tried to sexually attack an 11 year old girl during the Halloween festivities on Thursday.
According to the police report, the man was wearing a cap with is face covered by a scarf and was on a bicycle at the time.
The incident occurred on Thursday night during the Halloween celebrations in the Capistrano urbanization area when the man rode up to the young girl who was with a group of friends and grabbed her arm, allegedly trying to touch her intimate areas.
She managed to escape and alert her parents who then alerted the Guardia Civil.
No arrests have yet been made and police are finding investigations difficult due to the fact that at the time of the incident, there were hundreds of people in the vicinity, most of whom were wearing disguises.
The Guardia Civil have released a description of the man, stating that he was tall, blonde, thin and had his face covered with a cap and a handkerchief.
If you witnessed this attack please contact the Guardia Civil. Photo:Google Maps

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #79: How Big Tech Ruined The Internet. Americans will remember that when cable TV arrived on the scene they sold us on the new service with two promises, better color picture quality and no more commercials. After 18 months they introduced hourly commercial breaks, then 30 minutes, then 15, eventually there were commercials every 10 minutes. It’s done incrementally so we don’t complain until it is too late. Bait-and-switch in slow motion.
The internet world has just completed a similar transformation. The old internet worked on some basic principles. One critical principle was search results; search results for a website with info on a given topic should be based on two things, the amount of traffic a site receives and the freshest content. Sites with more of these 2 filters rose to the top of the first search page. It was assumed everyone wanted the latest, most popular info. It worked that way for the first 15yrs or so. But big tech giants bought up all the competition, resulting in the entire search business being dominated by just a few players, Google/Bing/Yahoo/Yandex. So naturally they took advantage and manipulated the entire internet to their financial advantage. They only needed to change one thing to convert the internet from a super library to a late stage cable TV money making machine, search results went from being statistically determined to algorithm determined. You knew those algorithms were gonna be trouble just from the sound of it, right?
How was this accomplished? First, they perfected User data collection. Big tech keeps a detailed profile on file for everyone who uses the internet regularly. They don’t even need your name, they use your internet behavior to identify you. If you thought sparse personal metadata – random chunks of data about data – was hard to mine for the purposes of identifying individuals, think again. MIT researchers have just shown that it only requires four data points (the dates and times of purchases) from a 30 day database of credit card purchases by 1.1 million people to identify 90 percent of them. It is even referred to as your digital fingerprint in the trade. Other data they use to ID you includes all the websites you visit, all search terms you check, your computer equipment info, ISP address, even the timing of your keystrokes and more.
Once that was all in place they pulled the old switcheroo. They replaced the search filters with a new method of determining search results. Now they’re using Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and algorithms as filters. So every time you enter a search term, the search engine first checks your profile, and the AI determines from that info what search results it can feed you that will loosely fit into you searched topic, but primarily generate them the most advertising income, accuracy and relevance be damned. If you search any popular topic in a major search engine and find on that first page of results any items more than a few years old, you probably are not even interested in that webpage. But AI has determined that something on that webpage will more likely get you to click on it and earn them a penny. So AI moves it up to the top results, despite other webpages offering the fresher, more popular info you would prefer.
Google was fined $2.7 Billion back in 2017 by the EU for manipulating search results. At issue for EU regulators was Google’s comparison shopping service, which Vestager believes the company had boosted unfairly by giving it “prominent placement” in search results — all the while having “demoted rival comparison shopping services.”
Web shopping sites do a similar trick called ‘dynamic pricing’. When you go to a site to check on a price, you will often find you receive a lower price if you use a old computer while in a low rent district. Using a new iMac on a fiber connection in an affluent area will often show significantly higher prices! Fact!
