Aug 10 2021 Share

After reports of technical issues with Johnson & Johnson vaccine certificates in foreign airports, the health authorities have allegedly fixed the verification problems. Travellers who were administered the Johnson & Johnson jab were reporting that, by the end of July, they had to contact health authorities to reissue their digital COVID-19 certificate because of problems during QR scanning at foreign airports. 

The Health Ministry stated that the update will come into effect automatically once the vaccine certificate is reprinted from the website certifkatvaccin.gov.mt. The health authorities are also urging people intending to travel and using the J&J certificate to reprint their certificate before travelling.

Dad buys ice cream truck to give his kids with down syndrome jobs

Dad buys ice cream truck to give his kids with down syndrome jobs
Aug 10 2021 Share

A father from Ohio decided to buy an ice cream van for his two kids with Down syndrome in order to give them the job experience and opportunity they deserve. Joe Wegener runs the ice cream business ‘Special Neat Treats’ alongside 21-year-old daughter Mary Kate and 18-year-old son Josh. The trio embark on ice-cream selling ventures as Joe teaches his kids important life lessons about finance, communication and customer service.

The nature of the job also gives people a peek into how people with Down syndrome can contribute to society. It was also a big plus for Mary Kate herself, who always said she wanted to work alongside her ‘papa.’ The truck has sold well over 5,000 desserts so far, with the kids enjoying every second of it as they sell delicious ice cream.

Online outrage after Barbie leaves out Asian doll during Tokyo Olympics

Online outrage after Barbie leaves out Asian doll during Tokyo Olympics
Aug 10 2021 Share

Despite releasing a collection dedicated to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, fashion doll Barbie received heaps of criticism after not featuring an Asian Barbie in their collection. Toy company Mattel collaborated with International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo 2020 organisers to release the new doll line. The figures represent five new sports added to the Olympic program – baseball/softball, sport climbing, karate, skateboarding and surfing. 

Despite the attempt to highlight inclusivity and innovation, the release was still slammed for the apparent absence of an Asian Barbie doll during its promotion last month. The criticism was heightened due to how Mattel could possibly forget to include a visibly Asian Barbie when the games took place in Tokyo. Diversified Barbie dolls have proven to be some of the most selling toys, with a Barbie modelled on tennis player Naomi Osaka selling out just hours after release.
