Taylor Swift most streamed Spotify artist on Valentine’s Day 2023
Feb 16 2023 Share

As arguably the artist who is very much known for her connection to love and break-up songs, Taylor Swift became Spotify’s most streamed artist on Valentine’s Day. 

According to Pop Base, Taylor Swift’s music was put on an endless loop on the 14th of February 2023 as people either celebrated their love or tried to enjoy their single life amidst all the hearts, roses and teddy bears…and social media posts. 

Most people weren’t very shocked by the news, crediting the artist for being able to create anthems and tunes which are applicable to any situation and/or time. 

Late last year, Swift’s new album ‘Midnights’ became Spotify’s most streamed album in less than 24 hours before the clock could strike, well, midnight for the next day.

Sheep found dead in water retrieved by Cleansing department

Sheep found dead in water retrieved by Cleansing department
Feb 16 2023 Share

PN spokesperson for Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector Graziella Galea took to social media to share an image of what seems to be a sheep floating dead in St Paul’s Bay.

The sheep was glimpsed floating at a slight distance away from the Sirens area, with Galea revealing that the sheep was later retrieved by the Cleansing Department. 

Following her appeal to remove the animal, Galea also went on to condemn without reserve the person responsible for the act. 

It is currently unknown how and why the sheep ended up dead in the water, but most commenters on the post also condemned the possibility of this being a brutal act.

Study suggests average penis size grew 24% over 29 years

Study suggests average penis size grew 24% over 29 years
Feb 16 2023 Share

A newly published meta-analysis of men from around the world shows that the length of the erect penis has reportedly grown by around 24% over the last 29 years.

Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a urologist and male fertility specialist at Stanford Medicine and who led the research, now wonders why this has occurred. 

With this study having been published Tuesday in The World’s Journal of Men’s Health, other complementary research has shown that both sperm count and testosterone levels are falling. 

Anything that changes the reproductive system is ‘fundamental to human existence, said Eisenberg, but also noted that penile length may not be directly related to fertility. 

Studies have measured the lengths back at least 80 years, with Eisenberg’s team compiling data from 75 studies conducted between 1942 and 2021 and involving nearly 56,000 men. 

The trend was noted, said Eisenberg, in different regions of the world and it was not isolated to specific populations. The study found that the average length of the erect penis across all regions and decades was about 5.5 inches.

On his part, urologist and men’s fertility specialist at the University of Utah Health Dr James Hotaling, said that, despite the study’s breadth, he’s not yet convinced. 

The simplest explanation could be, according to Hotaling, that the ways of measurement changed over the years. For Eisenberg, the change in length could be correlated to earlier puberty but further research is required to corroborate the hypothesis.
