Did JD Patrick just reveal Martina’s BIGGEST secret?

Oct 14 2021

Give or take a few anticipated rain showers, today was just a normal Thursday for many. For The Morning Vibe crew over at Vibe FM however all hell broke loose after popular radio personality JD Patrick revealed one of Martina’s biggest secrets.

Most of you will probably know that beyond being a co-host with Jonathan Abel and JD Patrick, Martina Zammit is also at the helm of local brand Gadgets, which has been growing over the past years. Apparently, Gadgets had a big re-brand coming tomorrow and JD spilled the beans before it ever saw the light of day.

“We are revealing something soon, stay tuned”, JD said as he mimicked Gadgets’ social media post, going to jokingly say “as if people care.” The radio host nonchalantly revealed that Gadgets will be re-branding, to which Martina did not approve whatsoever. Jonathan Abel was quick to cut to adverts before Martina showed her disapproval at JD’s apparent leak before she went on to say that she won’t be going on the show anymore.

Coldplay announce 2022 global tour ‘Music of the Spheres’

Oct 14 2021

In the 21st Century, few musical acts (if any) celebrate the global hype that British band Coldplay have managed to garner over the years and the launch of their latest tour ‘Music of the Spheres’ has got people talking. The band had taken a brief hiatus from touring due to the environmental consequences but their latest tour looks to be as eco-friendly as ever.

The concert will reportedly be partly powered by a kinetic dance-floor that generates electricity when fans jump on it, with pedals powering the venue. “When they move, they power the concert”, lead singer Chris Martin told BBC in his first interview. “The more people move, the more they’re helping. You know when the frontman says, ‘We need you to jump up and down?”

The band will also plant a tree for every ticket sold. During their last tour between 2016 and 2017, they played to over 5.4 million people and generated over $500m, making it one of the biggest tours of all time.

Masters of Advocacy students forced to camp at University overnight to secure elective spot

Oct 14 2021

Only a few days after the start of the scholastic year, Master of Advocacy students at the University of Malta came across quite the predicament. The University’s entire law student community expressed its outrage at the fact that, due to alleged disorganisation from the administration, some students had to camp outside their faculties overnight to make sure they secure a spot for their elective units.

The queuing throughout the night and early hours of the morning was due to the fact that electives were capped at 25, even though the Masters of Law course hosts over 100 students, creating quite a difficult situation for students to be able to choose their preferred elective due to the first come first served basis.

Student organisations ELSA Malta, GħSL and JCA collectively expressed their disappointment at the matter, highlighting the fact that if the COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it is that such processes can be conducted easily online. Amongst other suggestions, the organisations proposed that capping is removed from online elective, capping is increased to more than 25 for other electives, that the administration adopts modern measures and that students who applied without a second preference are called back to email their second preference.

What do you make of this situation?

5 killed in bow and arrow attack in Norway

Oct 14 2021

A 37-year-old Danish man has been arrested and charged after killing five people and injuring two in a bow and arrow attack in Kongsberg, Norway on Wednesday.

The suspect’s charges are yet to be revealed but Norwegian authorities have shut down claims that others were involved and highlighted that the Danish man acted alone in the attack. Drammen police chief Oyvind Aas stated that, based on what has happened in the past, one cannot exclude the possibility terror attack.

Aas went on to state that the suspect has yet to be questioned, so it is too early to determine his motive and the details of the event. The bow and arrow attack struck on the eve of Norway welcoming a new government after last month’s elections, with Norwegian Labour leader Jonas Gahr Store calling the attack a “cruel and brutal act.”

One of the injured is reportedly an off-duty policeman who was in a local store.
