Azzopardi Fisheries’ Fgura shop has got everything under one roof and we are HOOKED!

Dec 22 2021

After noting the need for another outlet in the South of Malta last year, Azzopardi Fisheries embarked on a journey to find a new shop which would be able to cater for their clients in the South of Malta.

That’s why their shop in Vjal Kottoner, Fgura is so close to the hearts of residents and patrons from the area and the Fgura outlet in particular is quite a different concept from other fish shops. Along with the extensive selection of fresh fish, live shellfish, frozen products, dry goods and gourmet products, customers may also find in-house chefs who are there on hand to give any help or advice with anything the customers might need.

If that wasn’t enough, the popular local brand has launched ‘Christmas at Home with Azzopardi Fisheries’ for the festive season, where clients may find ready-made food such as starters and main courses which are prepared in advance to save the client the hassle of preparation.

The shop is open from Monday to Saturday from 08:00am to 07:00pm and on Sundays from 08:00 to 01:00pm.

A perfectly preserved baby dinosaur fossil was discovered curled up inside an egg

Dec 22 2021

A unique fossil of a baby dinosaur curled up in its egg is shedding more light on the evolutionary links between birds and dinosaurs.

The fossil, some 70-million-years-old, preserves the embryonic skeleton of an oviraptorid dinosaur. You don’t have to remember that name though, as it has been nicknamed Baby Yingliang after the name of the Chinese museum which house it.

This is a very lucky find considering that baby dinosaur bones are very small and fragile and are very rarely preserved as fossils. Darla Zelenitsky, associate professor in the geoscience department at the University of Calgary in Canada, said that she has been working on dinosaur eggs for 25 years and has yet to see anything like it.

Up until now, little has been known of what goes on inside a dinosaur egg prior to hatching as there are so few embryonic skeletons.

The egg is around 17 centimetres long, with the dinosaur estimated to be 27 centimetres long from head to tail. Researchers believe that had it grown to adulthood, it would have been two to three meters long.

Researchers discovered that the dinosaur as others of his kind were changing poses in the egg similar to baby birds. All birds evolved directly from two-legged dinosaurs such as this, with some behaviours carrying on to today.

Young boy who saved his sister spends day with Tom Holland on Spider-Man set

Dec 22 2021

Are you ready for some of the most wholesome content you’ll read about today? Bridger Walker, merely 6 years old, was brutally mauled by a dog after he tried to save his sister from an attack by the canine last year.

When asked why he stepped in, he said that if someone had to die, he thought it should be him. He suffered some brutal injuries, needing 90 stitches on his face alone.

His heroic deed however caught the attention of Tom Holland, the MCU’s veery own Spider-Man, who promised Bridger to take some time and meet the young lad.

The boy’s father, Robert, posted to Instagram how Tom, Zendaya and the entire Marvel/Sony cast made Bridger’s dream come true. Now 7, Bridger got to be attached to Holland and web-sling through the air.

The father expressed that he was a bit worried that once ‘the curtain of the special effects is lifted’ the kids would be disappointed with the reality behind the movies. However, the opposite was true, giving Bridger the experience of a lifetime.

He also praised Holland and Zendaya as being some of the most graceful actors in all of Hollywood. He even thanked Zendaya for complimenting his daughter’s nails, saying it meant a lot to her.
