12 days into the heatwave and its still scorching

Jul 2 2021

Malta is currently registering the longest heatwave ever recorded in 100 years. This is the 12th day Malta has spent in the scorching heat but thankfully, the maximum temperature has gone down to 37°C on Thursday and is 5°C less than Wednesday.

The sky is set to clear today, acquiring the light blue hue we all love. Temperatures are also set to start going down slightly, despite there being no end in sight for the heatwave.

What is sure is that such weather invites beachgoers to cool off from the heat and sweat. Health authorities strongly advise staying protected and avoiding the sun at its worst hours and by staying hydrated.

Miriam Pace’s widower not seeking vendetta despite lenient court sentence

Jul 2 2021

Carmel Pace described the sentence issued by court to give ‘just’ 880 hours of community service to the two guilty architects as lenient. However, Pace pointed out that his family was not seeking any form of vendetta for the loss of his wife who was killed in the building collapse. Pace still expected the architects to be given a tougher community sentence after being contacted following the magistrate’s sentence.

Carmel Pace stated that all he can say is ‘there’s no justice in this world, there’s only justice when we move on to the next world. Nothing can bring Miriam back and this is a scar [his] two children and [he] have to carry all [their] lives.’

Commenting on the sentence issued, Joe Giglio stated that in reference to the court issued sentence, the Pace family was never out for vengeance. He emphasised how, when asked as to what sentence should be given, the family never suggested a jail sentence. He pointed out how proud he was to have been working on the team.

Jul 2 2021

Nicole Sciberras shared a deeply thankful and introspective post announcing her departure from the well-known team Juventus. Sciberras opened up her post by stating how the Bianconeri gave her so much in the two years she spent with them – more than she ever imagined. She recalled all her tears of joy and despair, her winning of the prestigious Viareggio Tournament and being called up with the senior team for the Voila tournament in Lyon.

With her surname written in a list amongst top players, Sciberras has shared changing rooms, trained and also forced to sing in front of the whole senior team. Her post is directed at anyone who aims to achieve such goals, with Nicole stating that if she could do it, sou could anyone. We wish Nicole all the best she embarks ‘on a new adventure – FINO ALLA FINE.’
