Licence To Own ‘Airsoft’ Style Air Gun Is Mandatory in Spain: Police are warning people that they must have a licence to own an ‘airsoft’ style plastic pellet shooting air gun. They have denounced two people in Elche for having AirSoft weapons without documentation. The concern is more due to the replica air guns authentic appearance than the possible damage low velocity plastic pellets can do. If you plan to fly with AirSoft guns, or paintball guns, always declare them at check-in. Failure to do so can get you kicked off the flight without refund! Source Link

Windows 7 Computer News Update: After installing this week’s Tuesday Windows Updates, Windows 7 users will start to see nag screens urging them to update to Windows 10. Before you consider doing this you are supposed to visit the website for the manufacturer of the device and see if your model is on their list of Windows 10 Upgrade Supported models. If it is not, you may still be able to update to Windows 10, but it is not without risks. It is very likely that you will eventually get a Windows 10 update, would be weeks, could be years, that makes your old device obsolete. Some become un-startable, others lose wifi or sound as your old hardware no longer supports the latest new Windows 10 features. After an unsupported Windows 10 update it is imperative you keep backups of everything onto another device or the cloud; go ahead and use it, but do not rely on it!
https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/10/08/october-2019-security-updates-are-available/
https://thehackernews.com/2019/10/microsoft-patch-tuesday-october.html

PS: Note to power users- Do you have an office full of Win 7 comps, unsupported for the update to Win 10, that you don’t want to replace? Then you may want to look at the Win 10 LTSB version, which stands for “Long-term Servicing Branch.” Officially, LTSB is a specialized edition of Windows 10 Enterprise that promises the longest intervals between feature upgrades of any version of the operating system. It’s designed for business networks where updating is a huge task, but it can be used by anyone who buys it. With far fewer updates your aging device may survive longer before MS enforced obsolescence. Here is an info link: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3250464/faq-windows-10-ltsb-explained.html
Here is a link to a free 90 day trial: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise
Also, extended term Win 7 support called Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for registered Microsoft business account holders is available for a price. For Windows Enterprise and Microsoft 365 users, Microsoft will provide ESUs as an “add-on.” For the first year, that add-on is $25 per device. In year 2, coverage will cost $50 per device and in year three, $100 per device. For Windows 7 Pro users, that cost is $50 per device for the first year; $100 for the second and $200 for the third. Supposedly there was an offer of a free year for anyone signing up before Dec 31, but none of the links in this otherwise informative article worked for me.

John Illsley of Dire Straits: Wednesday 9th October at Paris 15, Calle la Orotava, Malága. As one of the founding band members, with guitarist brothers Mark and David Knopfler, and drummer Pick Withers, Illsley played a role in the development of Dire Straits’ sound. By the time the group disbanded in 1995 changes in personnel meant that Illsley and lead singer Mark Knopfler were the only two original band members remaining. Illsley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Dire Straits in 2018.
Illsley has produced two albums of his own, with Mark Knopfler as a guest musician, and has helped with Mark’s personal projects and charities.
John will be appearing with his own band with guitarist Robbie McIntosh (The Pretenders, Paul McCartney John Mayer), he will be playing Dire Straits classics as well as songs from his latest solo album, ‘Long shadows’. Info&Tix

New laws: Spain plans crackdown on electric scooters. If you use an e-scooter, Segway or any other unregulated personal mobility vehicle in Spain, here’s how the law is about to change.
Spain’s Directorate General of Traffic has approved the following laws for e-scooters and similar vehicles that will come into force shortly:
– Personal mobility vehicles such as electric scooters are now officially considered vehicles across Spain.
– They can no longer be used on pavements. Riders caught doing so will be fined up to €500 by Spanish police.
– Riders can also be fined €500 for using their mobile phone or driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. These “distractions” are the most common causes of fatal accidents involving e-scooters or similar in Spain.
– The maximum speed for all roads is set at 25 km/h. There are also calls for manufacturers to start making this the maximum speed at which personal mobility vehicles can operate. A decision to drop the speed limit for all vehicles on two-way streets in cities from 50 to 30km/h will make it safer for e-scooters to be on the road as well.
– E-scooter owners must have a circulation certificate provided by the manufacturer but they will not need a government registration number as previously considered.
– Riders are advised to wear a reflective vest and take out insurance, although for the moment this isn’t mandatory. There is no law stating that helmet usage is obligatory either.

Animal rights group condemns dog poisoning in Axarquia: Animal welfare group denounces systematic poisoning of dogs in the Axarquia area.
The animal welfare group Tidus has denounced the poisoning of a number of domestic dogs in the hunting areas in the villages scattered across Axarquia.
In particular, the contaminated meat has been found in the vicinity of hunting grounds in Almayate, Torrox, Alcaucin, Riogordo and Colmenar, a number of animals have been killed after ingesting meat containing sharp nails.
So far, dozens of domestic animals have been killed or seriously injured due to the cruel act, and Tidus has begun an investigation alongside the local Guardia Rural to find the culprits.
The organisation is also urging for precaution to dog owners walking their animals in these areas to keep an eye on what their animal is eating and to report anything suspicious to the police.

Velez Malaga approves population control for stray cats: The scheme has been entitled C.E.S. which involves the capture, sterilization and release of female cats to prevent them from breeding.
Although the plan has been approved in principal by the regional government, a allocation still has to be organized in the next 2020 budget in order to start the first wave of sterilizations.
There also needs to be a change in the municipal regulations in order for it to be implemented.
Velez Malaga will not be the first in Andalucía to begin such a program. The scheme is already very successful in Marbella, Mijas, Malaga and Nerja.

Did You Think Artificial Intellegence and Machine Learning Were Being Used By Big Tech To Solve The World’s Problems? Fat Chance!: Actually, limited super high power computer resources that could be used working on curing cancer or some other miracle are instead being used to determine which YouTube videos to recommend to you to keep you on the site. That tells you something about their priorities! Google/YouTube are feeding these systems all the data they collect on you, so it can make their web content ever more addictive. Publicly, the platform says it’s trying to minimize the “amplification of extreme content” (Privately, they have been caught admiting to using it to minimize exposure of political opinions they don’t agree with!). They are always looking for ways to keep users on the site longer, because more time on their site is more advertising income. An overall increase of just 0.24% in viewer “watch time” equates to tens of millions of dollars.
If you want to see just one example just how manipulated we all are by super computers, social media and big tech, read this article from The MIT Technology Review. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614432/youtube-algorithm-gets-more-addictive/

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #78
-Windows 10 v1803 support ends on November 12. That means no more security updates. You won’t want to do any banking, shopping or emails on a unit not receiving security updates. To check your version type WINVER in the search box, then click on WINVER at the top of the search results box. An info box will open with your version info. You should be on v1903. If you are on v1809 you are still OK but should update to v1903 soon.
If you are on v1803 or earlier you need to update asap. To to so, make sure you are on a good quality internet connection, updating on a campo WiMax connection doesn’t always work. Open Settings/Updates and click “Check for updates”. Let it install all updates it finds, then restart computer. Repeat this updating procedure until you get the No More Updates Available message. If this process has not got you caught up to v1903 then you have an Updater problem of some sort. Necessary prerequisites for your next update may be missing. You may be able to fix this by running a “Error Check” on your System partition, then retry updating.
If that fails, or is above your user level, bring it in for a Maintenance Servicing, updating everything to current is part of the service.
-Ransomware Returns to Southern Spain. A hacker has taken over the computer system of the southern Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera (by encrypting the contents. -Ed.) and is demanding a ransom paid in bitcoin to unlock it, local officials said Friday. The cyber attack, which has caused outages of services offered through the city’s website, began on Tuesday night, a municipal spokesman told AFP.
Never pay ransom to hackers. Get you computer to a computer service pro asap. Many versions of ransomware encryption can be undone with special tools within the 48 hrs following infection. Source: https://www.thelocal.es/20191004/hacker-seeking-bitcoin-ransom-hits-spanish-citys-computer-sytem

Recommendations

Note of Condolences: It appears that manners have died. Over the recent couple of days, several inquiries were given courteous replies and were then met with flat-lined response (regarding “For Sale: 100% Organic Compost” issue 1415. -Ed.). To those who are related to these events, my condolences on your loss of ettiquete. The world has become a sadder place as a result. I sincerely hope that you will be able to overcome your difficulties, while the rest of us bear with you, during your time of lack in social graces.

Our parish seeks to serve the spiritual and pastoral needs of the mainly English-speaking community in Nerja, Almuñécar, and surrounding area. It is our commitment to draw them into a closer relationship with God and his church. We are kindly offered the use of local Roman Catholic churches.
Sunday Eucharist Services
Almuñécar
9.30 am – Capilla de Nuestra Señora del Carmen (The Fishermen’s Chapel). This small chapel is situated towards the western end of the beach and set back near the Chinasol Hotel and seafront. There is a Eucharist every Sunday from November through to March, and there is a Eucharist service on every alternative Sunday (1st and 3rd Sundays of the month in April, May, September and October). There are no services during the hot summer months of June, July and August.
Nerja
12.00 noon – Iglesia de San Miguel, Plaza Andalucía. There is a Eucharist service at this time throughout the year. The church is within easy walking distance of the first large roundabout as you drive into town from the Malaga direction, by the bus station.
All further information regarding the parish and the weekly services is to be found on our website – www.nerjaalmunecaranglicanchurch.co.uk
If you wish to contact us directly, the e-mail is; cofenerja@gmail.com

For Sale: 100% Organic Compost. Fall is a great time to use compost when putting in new plantings for spring blooms, topping up existing gardens and mulching around trees and bushes for overwintering.
Organic Compost helps feed plants with micro-nutrients in a form that is slow in release and most natural for plants to uptake. The humus (fibre) content provides roots with an environment that is easier to grow in by creating a lighter soil which maintains more moisture with better drainage. Micro-organisms, which are beneficial to plants, are attracted to these areas and work to the added health of a garden.
This compost is a careful and through blend of horse manure, chicken manure and natural organic matter, with absolutely no chemical additives such as herbicides, pesticides or other toxic waste. All the components are completely broken down through decomposition to create a clean, non odorous, friable mix that it completely safe to use around home, garden and lawn.
Comes in clean, sturdy sacks of 20L of volume. 6,50€ per sack.

Recommendations

Petsitting: Our 13 year old dog has just returned from 2 weeks with Petsitters Silvia and Mario in El Morche and is one happy pooch. He lived with them as a family dog in their lovely home, and had plenty of exercise, love and attention. Silvia sent regular photos, videos and Watsapp messages so we could see for ourselves how he was enjoying it. We will definitely use them again and would highly recommend their services. They can be contacted on

Organized by Maribel Martín and Brendon Taylor (Studio-gallery AMARTE) in collaboration with the Town Hall of Frigiliana.

Lost Friend: Hi Naythan, Would you ask your readers if they know a lady who moved to Spain from Wales, some 20yrs ago? Her name is Ros Griffiths and she’s the most lovely lady, who set up her hairdressing business somewhere ‘up in the hills’ of your friendly part of Spain above Malaga. I have been unfortunate in losing contact with Ros and wondered if any of the digamextra readers know her?
Many thanks for your help in finding a long lost friend.
With kind regards, Ruth Richards, Welshpool, Powys Wales

Are you aged over 65?

Would you appreciate practical tips, for example about living in Spain?

Local Spanish culture and lifestyle
Living in Spain

We can coordinate lift sharing or, under certain circumstances, we may be able to provide transport if it would otherwise be a barrier to attendance.

John Illsley of Dire Straits: Wednesday 9th October at Paris 15, Calle la Orotava, Malága. As one of the founding band members, with guitarist brothers Mark and David Knopfler, and drummer Pick Withers, Illsley played a role in the development of Dire Straits’ sound. By the time the group disbanded in 1995 changes in personnel meant that Illsley and lead singer Mark Knopfler were the only two original band members remaining. Illsley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Dire Straits in 2018.
Illsley has produced two albums of his own, with Mark Knopfler as a guest musician, and has helped with Mark’s personal projects and charities.
John will be appearing with his own band with guitarist Robbie McIntosh (The Pretenders, Paul McCartney John Mayer), he will be playing Dire Straits classics as well as songs from his latest solo album, ‘Long shadows’. Info&Tix
