Ruling that face masks must be worn on beaches comes amid fears of fourth Covid wave
The Spanish tourist industry has reacted with dismay to the government’s decree that face masks must be worn in all outdoor spaces
even when it is possible to maintain social distancing
“We’re going through hell with thousands of jobs and businesses threatened and now they want to turn the beaches into open-air field hospitals,” José Luis Zoreda
the umbrella organisation that represents Spain’s tourism industry
Industry representatives complain that they were not consulted over the decision
which was announced in an official state bulletin on Tuesday
“We’ve already given up on Easter as a lost cause,” said Zoreda
He said the “improvised measures” did not inspire confidence on the part of the foreign visitors whom the struggling industry is desperate to bring back
Tourism accounts for about 12% of Spain’s GDP
Earlier this month Fernando Simón, head of Spain’s coordination centre for health emergencies and alerts, said: “I don’t believe that masks are the key to reducing transmission. It’s not necessary for everyone to wear one. What’s important is that people who are infected wear one, although we don’t know who is infected and who isn’t.” Simón added that they should be obligatory in enclosed spaces.
The government has reacted to criticism, saying the decree is open to interpretation and that details of its implementation would be hammered out between central government and Spain’s 17 autonomous regions.
In Catalonia, where masks have been compulsory for the past eight months, exceptions are made for outdoor sporting activities, eating, drinking and smoking.
Officially, eating and drinking in the street is prohibited, but the measure is rarely enforced.
Meanwhile, there are growing fears of a fourth wave as four regions, including Madrid, reported an infection rate of 250 per 100,000 of population over the past 14 days.
Tuesday’s decree will remain in force until the government is convinced that the pandemic has ended, suggesting that mask wearing will be a fact of life in Spain for some time to come.

Image: Mauri Ratilainen/AOPYle News5.7.2022 17:04•Updated 5.7.2022 17:09The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (KKV) has recommended that the discount furniture chain Masku be fined one million euros for repeated misleading marketing practices regarding sale prices
the firm's advertised discounted prices for items are compared to higher sums that the company never actually charged
A decision about the penalty fine will be reached by the Market Court of Finland
The consumer authority launched an investigation into misleading marketing practices of furniture retailers in April
KKV said that Masku has advertised discounted prices up to 80 to 90 percent off the original retail price
but in reality such sale prices were not significantly lower than normal
This fine recommendation marked the first time the KKV utilised such a penalty since a law change made it possible in 2020
The discount furniture firm has previously been the target of smaller fines issued by the Market Court
But the KKV's director Miina Ojajärvi said in a statement that past penalties have not been enough to dissuade the company from continuing to violate consumer protection laws

He's the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the owner of Twitter — now X — and he's also a father of at least 11 children.
according to interviews and posts by Musk himself over the years
Musk told The Wall Street Journal in 2023 that he usually goes to bed around 3 a.m
He might've been trolling when he wrote a response to a doctor that same year on X saying he eats "a donut every morning," but a quick search of Musk's posts reveals he's quite a fan of the pastry
because my brain neural network quantizes it down to 0 donuts," he posted to X in October
Musk said in 2022 that he was trying to break the cycle of checking his phone as soon as he woke up. While on the Full Send Podcast
Musk described it as "a terrible habit" he hoped to escape
he still wakes up and immediately looks at his phone for emergencies
If his posts on X (formerly Twitter) are any indication, the habit persists. He's been active on Twitter since before he bought it in 2022
It's unclear if Musk slots in time to post and respond to others each day
but it certainly looks like he rarely takes a day off from the app
"Some days I wake up and look at Twitter to see if it's still working," Musk told Walter Isaacson in the "Elon Musk" biography
Musk previously credited showering with having the biggest positive effect on his daily life
a user asked which of his daily habits impacted his life the most
As the CEO of one of the leading EV makers
it's no surprise that Musk has more than one option for his daily commute
When an X user posted a meme about deciding between driving a Cybertruck without autopilot or Tesla Model S with self-driving technology
Musk responded that it's a choice he faces "every day."
The Cybertruck has been in the backdrop of many celebrity paparazzi shots and Instagram posts since its official launch in November
Musk appears to have had ups and downs in his relationship with physical exercise over the years
he told Joe Rogan that he'd avoid it altogether if he could
except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air," he said on X in June 2023
Musk has admitted on several occasions that running more than one company isn't easy
He splits time between his companies depending on the "crisis of the moment," the 52-year-old said in 2021
One X user pointed out in January 2023 that Musk had testified in a lawsuit in the morning
attended an event at a Nevada Tesla factory in the evening
and worked with Tesla on AI at night — all in one day
Musk responded that he'd also spent time at "Twitter HQ past midnight."
work—do that seven days a week," Musk told the Journal in 2023
"I'll have to do that for a while — no choice — but I think once Twitter is set on the right path
I think it is a much easier thing to manage than SpaceX or Tesla."
Musk said: "Tesla constitutes the majority of my work time
and I work pretty much every day of the week
It's rare for me to take a Sunday afternoon off."
Although he's not getting eight hours a night
Musk has upped his sleeping schedule from being nearly nonexistent in the past
In May 2023, Musk told CNBC that he's no longer pulling all-nighters
he said he tries to get at least six hours of sleep
the billionaire has spent many nights awake and pondering the issues his companies face
His former partner Claire Boucher — known by her stage name Grimes — also told Isaacson that Musk once stayed up all night playing the "Elden Ring" video game when it first came out
He has a history of sleeping on the floors of his offices and the Tesla factory
After purchasing Twitter in 2022, Musk all but moved into its San Francisco headquarters
He said there's a couch in the library that he would crash on from time to time
Technically the title is called "Crash Out" and it just entered an open beta test that's free to any who wish to participate
Footage of the 3D fighter has emerged as players have been testing it out
and let's just say we were blown away by how faithful to Tekken it actually is
Creator MemzDev has been working on Crash Out for the last nine months
and is finally ready to share his baby with the world
While it's easy to make a "we have Tekken at home" joke upon first sight of the clearly simple graphics and foundations
the undeniable passion behind the project instantly takes it to the next level
Character movements are instantly recognizable to Tekken fans as we essentially watch the likes of Kazuya and Paul dance about the three dimensional space
MemzDev notes that this test does not include matchmaking
but Crash Out features a full server lobby mode reminiscent of the likes of Street Fighter's Battle Hub
and there you can match up with other players and get some games in
There are 5 characters to choose from including Masku, Boxer, Proto O-S-K-S, Grappler, and Karasu, each one of which has two costumes along with the option to customize appearance. There are also a handful of stages, one of which is a clear reference to Waffle House, an arena fans have been begging Tekken developers to put into Tekken 8
Below you'll find a handful of stills via a gallery
and a quick showcase of the game's spectating mode:

he's just too slow and too large of a target to get the advantage over the overwhelming majority of Ultimate's options..
Rool has a shining moment wherein he bests a top tier and looks absolutely stellar while doing it
During a recent Vortex Legends tournament up in Waterbury
one of those moments came to pass on stream
Rool is somewhere amid the bottom 15 on Ultimate's roster
Tekken guest star Kazuya Mishima is often placed among the very strongest
and it's not unheard of to see him placed in the top 3
it's safe to say that when Kazuya player Masku sat down to face off against K
Rool player Banj during the winners finals of the weekly event
A hard fought first match saw Banj come within striking distance of victory
but he ultimately fell in a final stock situation
The competitors proceeded to immediately queue up the second match
and in a bit of a blink and you'll miss it moment
Banj was able to score a KO in less than five seconds
That's impressive no matter which character you're using
Fastest K Rool 0-death in history? pic.twitter.com/YpXrraCOaG
this particular blunderbuss shot did indeed hit a lot harder than usual
The reason is the fact that it was reflected twice before finally hitting home square in Kazuya's chest
Reflectors in Smash Ultimate multiply the amount of damage of the projectile they reflect
and since this happened twice as Kazuya and Rool both ping-ponged the canon ball at one another
it wound up doing the whopping 59% damage that immediately KO'd Kazuya
For those wondering how the full set played out, you can view the nail-biting finish in the full video over at VG Boot Camp's YouTube page. A big thanks to both Banj and Masku for putting on such an entertaining display of competitive Smash.

A New Zealand accident involving two professional instructors and a modern well equipped aircraft is a story of how a combination of individual lapses and organisational weaknesses can create a tragedy
It was perhaps an unusual activity for a Saturday night but otherwise was a routine training flight
Its purpose was to build the command IFR hours of a young
Another similarly clean-cut young man with about the same number of total hours (about 820) was in the right‑hand seat of the Diamond DA42 diesel twin to act as safety pilot
Both were Category B instructors but had relatively low instrument flight hours
The pilot’s 141 IFR hours consisted of 82 hours in a ground simulator
44 hours of in-flight hood simulation and just under 14 hours of actual IFR flight
The second leg of their journey over New Zealand’s North Island was from Palmerston North to Taupõ
where the plan was to fly a missed approach and continue to Ardmore
the DA42 was turned away from the planned track and the pilot made a ‘top of descent’ radio call to the flight information service
the aircraft struck the Kaimanawa Range about 38 km south of Taupõ at about 4,500 feet
The pilot had planned an approach to Taupõ that involved flying north to the reporting point known as TAIKI
then turning to approach the aerodrome from the east
the pilot made a 35-degree left turn to approach Taupõ from the south‑east
The report by the New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission found the reason for the change in flightpath could not be fully established
it was very likely influenced by the weather
autopilot-directed turn at TARUA was probably a route to the reporting point at MASKU
an initial approach fix for Taupõ’s runway 35
In view of the deteriorating weather over the central North Island (which included isolated towering cumulonimbus)
the pilot may have thought saving some time by literally cutting a corner on the planned route was a prudent move
He was now flying an unevaluated route – in broad terms he was ‘going off-road’ in the sky
New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Rules only allow this ‘random routing’ above flight level 150 in uncontrolled airspace
Random routing below FL150 is only permitted in controlled airspace and requires clearance from air traffic control
The minimum safe altitude (MSA) at MASKU is 4,500 feet
Surveillance data showed the aircraft making an apparent controlled descent to 4,500 feet
instead striking a high ridge in rugged terrain
The DA42 is a modern aircraft equipped as standard with a terrain proximity awareness system on its Garmin G1000 display
This shows terrain within 1,000 feet in yellow and turns red for terrain within 100 feet of the aircraft’s GPS computed altitude
The commission found it was very likely this system was either ‘excessively dimmed or not selected
so the terrain ahead was not displayed during the descent’
The G1000 offered a Class-B terrain avoidance and warning system at extra cost
but the aircraft was not equipped with this option
Whether its urgent synthetic voices would have saved the aircraft will never be known
The flying school that employed the two pilots had a scheme allowing staff to use school aircraft to build their experience
These flights normally had to be authorised by a training management instructor but on that Saturday evening
The pilot could have phoned a training management instructor to get authorisation but did not do so
he self-authorised the flight despite having followed correct procedure for all his previous flights under the scheme
A review of the school’s records found this self-authorisation had never been done before by anyone
The problem had not been organisational ‘drift’ but a latent weakness in procedure
by a pilot described as ‘knowledgeable and conscientious’
The duty instructor at the school that day
did not feel able to override the pilot’s decision
The school said if a senior instructor had examined the proposed flight plan and weather information
the flight would most likely not have been authorised
This was because of the high MSA for the planned route
which a light twin-engine aeroplane such as the DA42 would struggle to maintain should an engine malfunction occur
the school amended its standard operating procedures so the chief flying instructor’s approval was required for any single-pilot IFR navigation flights
other than those routes specifically listed
The commission found the operator’s flight-authorisation procedures were not sufficiently robust to prevent students and qualified pilots conducting flights without the requisite authorisation from supervising instructors
The commission listed 3 lessons identified from the inquiry:

Maskun kunnanviraston edessä olleet Pride-liput tuhottiin maanantai-illalla, vain tunteja niiden salkoihin nostamisen jälkeen.
Liput oli laskettu alas ja yksi niistä oli poltettu.
Maskun kunta reagoi tapahtuneeseen kuitenkin nopeasti ja uudet liput nostettiin kunnanviraston salkoihin jo tiistaina päivällä.
Kunnanjohtaja Miira Raiskilan mukaan oli selvää, että liput nostetaan nopeasti takaisin.
– Kyllä tällaiseen vihamielisyyden ja syrjinnän osoitukseen täytyy reagoida nopeasti ja kovasti. Liput uudelleen salkoon, niin pikaisesti kuin mahdollista, Raiskila sanoo.
Avaa kuvien katseluMaskun kunnanvirastolla liehuu enää kolme Pride-lippua, mutta kaupunginjohtajan mukaan lisää on tilattu. Kuva: Arttu Kuivanen / YleSateenkaarilippuja on tilattu myös lisää, ja kuluvan viikon aikana niitä ilmestyy myös kunnan koulujen lipputankoihin.
– Ehkä tämä on reagointia tähän tilanteeseen. Lisäämme kaikin puolin myös viestintää ja näkyvyyttä. Laitoimme sateenkaaren värit näkyville kunnan sähköisessä viestinnässä ja tienvarsitaulussa. Teemme voitamamme, jotta viesti menee perille, Raiskila sanoo.
Sosiaalisessa mediassa leviää maanantai-illan tapahtumista videomateriaalia. Videolla näkyy poltettu Pride-lippu sekä Raamatun tekstiin viittaava lause.
Ihmisoikeusjärjestö Setan pääsihteeri Kerttu Tarjamon mukaan sateenkaarilippujen tärveleminen erilaisten Pride-tapahtumien yhteydessä on ollut valitettavan yleistä.
– Tänä vuonna esimerkiksi Porissa Pride-lippuja tärveltiin sateenkaarimessun aikana. Myös esimerkiksi Lappeenrannassa lippuja on tärvelty, Tarjamo sanoo.
Tänä vuonna eri puolilla Suomea järjestetään yhteensä noin 50 Pride-tapahtumaa.
– Sateenkaaritapahtumiin kohdistuva ilkivalta on vihateko sateenkaari-ihmisiä kohtaan. Sateenkaarilippu on tunnettu seksuaali- ja sukupuolivähemmistöjen symbolina, joten on hyvin todennäköisesti, että siellä on jokin vihamotiivi tai ainakin halutaan viestittää, ettei paikkakunnalle olla tervetulleita, Tarjamo sanoo.
Maskun kunta kertoo Facebook-sivullaan ryhtyvänsä tarvittaviin toimenpiteisiin tapahtuneen selvittämiseksi.
Kunnanjohtaja Miira Raiskilan mukaan Maskun kunta tekee asiasta myös rikosilmoituksen.
– Jokaisen ihmisarvo on loukkaamaton ja siitä pidämme näkyvästi ääntä. Kunta ryhtyy tarvittaviin toimenpiteisiin tapahtuneen selvittämiseksi ja tekijän vastuuseen saattamiseksi, Facebook-päivityksessä kerrotaan.
Pride-liput nostettiin Maskun kunnanviraston lipputankoihin Turku Pride -viikon ajaksi.
