You can name a cockroach or rat after your ex this Valentine’s

Jan 31 2023

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion for love, but there’s always a bit of a sour taste left over from a particular ex-partner who still occupies room in our minds.

For those looking for a unique way to send a clear message and truly cut off ties, the Houston Zoo has come up with a hilarious but eco-friendly solution. The annual “Cry Me a Cockroach” fundraiser is back and it’s a cold, but direct way of letting your ex know that they are no longer wanted.

For just $10, you can name a cockroach after your ex and have it be fed to an animal. This annual fundraiser supports the zoo’s mission of securing a future for wildlife in Texas and around the world.

Donors will receive a digital Valentine’s Day card to show their support for the cause, and they can even choose to send their ex a digital card informing them of their choice to name a cockroach, rodent, or even a vegetable after them.

This is a unique and entertaining way to send a clear message to an ex on Valentine’s Day. The Houston Zoo’s “Cry Me a Cockroach” fundraiser is a great way to support wildlife while getting closure from a past relationship.

So why not consider supporting this cause and sending your ex a message they won’t forget this Valentine’s Day?

Fury also shared an Instagram story with a picture of him holding the baby and wrote, “I’ll protect you forever my little girl.” The couple didn’t reveal the baby’s name just yet, but their Love Island peers were quick to offer their congratulations.

Hague kept her 6.9 million Instagram followers updated throughout her pregnancy after announcing it last September. The couple had met each other during the fifth season of the popular ITV show and became two of the most recognisable faces the series produced.

Transparency International Index suggests Malta became more corrupt…

Jan 31 2023

Malta has just registered a drop in the latest Transparency International corruption index, now ranking the island at 51, down from 53 the previous year. This means Malta has lost a total of nine points in eight years.

The index ranks countries on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean) and the average for Western Europe and the EU is 66.

The top ranked countries in the region are Denmark (90), Finland (87), and Norway (84). But Malta, along with Cyprus (52), Hungary (42), Luxembourg (77), the Netherlands (80), Poland (55), Slovenia (56), Sweden (83), Switzerland (82), and the UK (73) have all registered historic lows in the index.

The Transparency International’s analysis of Malta could highlight the lack of implementation of recommendations from the public inquiry into the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, ongoing concerns for media freedom, political interference in public media and the fight against organised crime.

Malta’s recent dabble with the FATF grey-list also set the spotlight on the island as a possible hub for corruption.

It could also note the need for greater independence and resources for the Maltese justice system to uphold the rule of law. “A state of impunity persists with no convictions in cases of high-level corruption.”
