Monkeypox
If it’s not one thing it’s another! What do we know about this outbreak...?
Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like monkeypox. Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with monkeypox. Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with monkeypox. Avoid contact with objects and materials that a person with monkeypox has used. Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with monkeypox. Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of a person with monkeypox. Wash your hands often. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser, especially before eating or touching your face and after you use the bathroom. The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before healing. The rash can initially look like pimples or blisters and may be painful or itchy. Other symptoms of monkeypox can include: Fever, Chills, Swollen lymph nodes Exhaustion, Muscle aches and backache Headache Respiratory symptoms (e.g. sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough) TPOXX can reduce the amount of the virus in the body. TPOXX is considered investigational for the treatment of monkeypox because sufficient data are not yet available on the safety and effectiveness of TPOXX in treating people with monkeypox.

At 80yrs for men and 85yrs for women Spaniards have the highest life expectancy in the EU and third worldwide
The Overseas Property Market – Why Spain? For lifestyle Spain is hard to beat, it’s relaxed and easy-going, safe and child-friendly. Life expectancy rose by ten years between 1970 and 2015. At 80yrs for men and 85yrs for women Spaniards have the highest life expectancy in the EU and third worldwide. Only Japan and Switzerland do better and then only by a few months. The climate suits all tastes. It ranges from four seasons with a proper winter and lots of snow in the north to the sub-tropical south. The micro-climate zones on the Mediterranean coasts of Andalucía have the best winter temperatures on the European mainland. Even warmer winter temperatures are found in the Canary Islands which are often referred to as Europe’s Caribbean. Spain’s beaches and marinas have more Blue Flags than any other country in the world, a total of 696 in 2021, that’s 4 more than in 2020 and an all-time high. And in fact, Spain has occupied the top spot every year since the scheme began in 1987. For the cultural tourist Spain has some of the oldest cities in the world and 49 UNESCO World Heritage sites. This puts it in third place globally, behind Italy (58) and China (56). Within Spain, Andalucía is the region with the highest number (8) of recognised sites.

GBP/EUR exchange rate rocked by gas shortage fears and recession warnings Staying up to date with the latest currency news can help you time your transfers effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the month ahead… Latest currency news The GBP/EUR exchange rate continued to trade in a wide range over the past month, with the pairing fluctuating between a low of €1.16 and a three-month high of €1.19, while EUR/GBP traded between £0.83 and £0.85. What’s been happening? The euro trended higher through the middle of July, supported by the European Central Bank (ECB) as it delivered a shock 50bps interest rate hike. However EUR exchange rates then fell sharply as we headed into August amid fresh concern over a potential European gas shortage this winter. Meanwhile the pound fluctuated through July amid the uncertainty of the Conservative leadership election. Sterling was then forced off its best levels in the wake of the Bank of England’s (BoE) latest interest rate decision. While the BoE also opted for a 50bps hike, GBP investors were spooked by the bank’s warning that the UK is likely to slip into a recession later this year. What do you need to look out for? Looking ahead, ongoing concerns over European energy security may continue to act as a headwind for the euro in the coming week. Although the prospect of another 50bps rate hike from the ECB may provide some respite for the single currency. Meanwhile the pound may remain vulnerable to losses while the UK government remains paralysed while we await the outcome of the Tory leadership race in early September. Since 1996 we’ve helped more than 325,000 customers with their currency transfers, just pop into your local Currencies Direct branch or give us a call to find out more.

Things Amazon don’t want you to know...
Just Walking To The Toilet & Back Can Take Up Your Whole Break Time!
We’ve all heard the rumours about unfair employment practices at Amazon, but one basic problem is the place is just so flipping big. Employees have very strict time limits of 15 or 30 minutes for their breaks, meaning that is the amount of time allowed between scanning an item. So if the toilet or break room is a 10 minute walk away… then sorry! In 2020, The Washington Post (which, ironically, is owned by Jeff Bezos) reported that Amazon had fired 2 employees who where openly critical of their working conditions during the pandemic. At the same time, workers in 74 warehouses and fulfilment centres tested positive for Covid. A bad week for Bezos all round. Of course, Amazon denied there was a connection between the firings and the criticism, but how easy is that to believe? If you must get yourself a refurbed Alexia, beware. Voice recognition tech is still quite young and there are countless, some quite disturbing accounts of such devices going rogue. A woman found that her Echo had, without having being asked, sent recordings of private conversations to one of her husband’s employees. Amazon claimed that Alexia must have misheard a string of commands and confirmations, all during a conversation about flooring. Unlikely. That’s not the worst recording it could have shared of course. Be careful if you have a little helper set up by your bedside… Hmmmm OMG!!!!

Solar panels are not one size fits all. They are chosen based on their specific
application. Every home solar system is custom designed. For example, an expensive high-efficiency panel may perform just as well as a standard or economy panel under certain circumstances. Bigger is not always better. Which solar panel you choose depends a lot on these variables. When you meet with a solar consultant, they should ask you questions and closely examine your roof before recommending a specific type or brand of panel. This tells you that they are looking out for your best interest and not upselling you to a specific high-cost brand. Some photovoltaic panels are compatible with only specific types of inverters, some with all inverters, etc. Your panels and inverter must fit together like puzzle pieces. The type of system your home needs determines which inverters and panels are an option for you. The efficiency of a panel tells you how well it converts sunlight into electricity. This is not as important of a metric as you may think. Modern solar panels all have very high efficiency, typically around 20%. The differences between panel efficiency ratings are negligible for the cost increase. The only time this might be of importance is if you are trying to maximize production in a small available space. The best way to determine which options may work for you would be to talk with a solar specialist. They are well versed in the complex nature of solar system design and will maximise your investment.

Everything you wanted to know about pubic hair but were afraid to ask!
Colour, does the carpet match the curtains? Pubic hair color stands alone and doesn’t depend on the color of the hair on your head. The color is determined by the amount of melanin (a pigment substance) in each hair, which can be different because the amount of melanin is different in different parts of your body. In most cases, the color of your pubic hair is closest to the natural color of your eyebrows. Throughout life, the melanin in your body decreases. This makes hair lighter and eventually grows gray, both on the head and in the pubic area. Hair around the anus: everyone has it! Hair around the anus is absolutely normal. The distribution of hair, including on the genitals, is often due to genetics. Scientists still aren’t completely sure why anus hair grows. One popular theory is that the hair helps keep your smell around, which, in turn, attracts potential partners. According to another theory, the hair softens friction and prevents irritation. Is it normal to have a lot of hair around my vagina? Yes, it is normal to have a lot of hair around your vagina. Hair on the vulva and around the scrotum is normal. Everyone has pubic hair around their genitals, and it starts growing during puberty. Pubic hair helps prevent dirt and bacteria from entering the vagina. Is armpit hair the same as pubic hair? Armpit hair is also known as axillary hair and grows in the underarm area. Pubic hair is darker and thicker body hair that grows in your genital region.
Barbarian
Cast: Georgina Campbell The first thing to be said about Zach Cregger’s Barbarian is that you can’t really talk about it; to say too much about is not just to spoil its inherent surprises but to reduce its actual power. It’s a cinematic version of Fight Club, less of an actual narrative and more akin to a Godfrey Reggio attempt at experiential manipulation. It’s as if Cregger started with a white board filled with all the most transgressive imagery he could conjure in attempt to see how much he could manage to sneak into one film. The answer is ‘a lot’ in an assault so over the top it easily surpasses anything approaching horror and transcends to pure silliness more than once… and yet remains a consistent, unified whole even as it bounces wildly between extremes.
Two black eyes for two differnt reasons, just a slip of the toungue...
Two blokes with matching black eyes spot each other in a bar.
One man approaches the other and says, “I’ll tell you my story if you tell me yours. How’d you get the black eye?”
The man responds, “It was a terrible mistake, really. I was trying to take the train to Tottenham this morning, and the lady at the ticket counter had the most exquisite, bigest rounded and firm beautiful breasts I had ever ever seen, they were absolutely amazing and I’d never seen anything like them in my life. I meant to ask politely, ‘May I have a ticket toTottenham,’ but my tongue slipped and I accidentally said, ‘May I have a ticket to Tit-tingham.’ She rightfully got angry and punched me in the face.” So I ended up with this shiner! The other man responds, “Yes, I suppose you deserved that. I sadly have a very similar story to tell behind my black eye... I was sitting down with my wife this morning at the breakfast table. I meant to say, ‘Honey, please pass the Cheerios,’ but my tongue slipped and I accidentally said, ‘You have ruined my bloody life!”
how can I help sir...?
