Enemalta address over 700 reports of images due to storm Helios

Feb 12 2023

Over the past four days, Enemalta reported receiving more than 700 weather-related faults, including power outages, damaged poles, and electricity wires.

In response, the company increased its workforce by 50% and allocated additional teams to assist affected customers.

During the storm, repairs were made as soon as it was safe for workers to do so. However, there were some high-line repairs that could not be completed due to dangerous wind conditions.

On Saturday, engineers and technicians were able to work on these remaining faults, with nine teams solely focused on storm repairs.

Repairs will continue Sunday and throughout the beginning of next week.

Enemalta apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the weather-related faults and reiterates its commitment to improving the electricity distribution system for its 350,000 customers in Malta and Gozo.

Energy and Environment Minister Miriam Dalli took to social media to thank the workers for their dedication.

‘Despite the horrific weather, Enemalta workers continued to work to assist clients impacted with difficulties during the weather which befell Malta over these past few days’ said the Minister.

‘I also thank the workers from the Water Services Corporation who fixed the damages in these conditions as well. Thank you to all the workers for your labour!’

As co-host, she wore four different dresses designed by Dior’s creative director Grazia Chiuri, each with a strong message about breaking gender stereotypes and women’s rights.

The four dresses were called The Shameless Dress, The Hate Dress, The Cage, and The Manifesto Dress.

The Shameless Dress was designed to shed light on women’s rights and bodies and how they are still being discussed and considered questionable whereas the Hate Dress was inspired by the criticisms directed towards Ferragni and was embroidered with black pearls on a white peplos.

The Manifesto Dress was designed to bring a social message to the popular stage and was inspired by the work of Claire Fontaine.

The Cage was meant to represent freeing new generations from gender stereotypes and was a jersey jumpsuit embroidered with rhinestones trapped in a tulle skirt.

These dresses received widespread recognition and support on social media, receiving over five million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments.

Stolen Toronto cars worth millions somehow end up in Malta

Feb 12 2023

Malta has once again made international news after platform blogTO posted an article revealing that millions of dollars worth of stolen cars from Toronto somehow ended up in Malta.

A press release issued by York Regional Police on Friday revealed that sixty four vehicles stolen from residential driveways across the GTA somehow turned up ‘in Southern Europe.’

The York Regional Police Auto Cargo Theft Unit recovered dozens of the vehicles, which add up to a total of $3.5 million, which have since been sent back to Canada as part of project Majestic.

The vehicles were tracked down and found to have been located inside shipping containers ready to be sold illegally. In 2021, it was revealed that investigators identified a criminal syndicate responsible for stealing high-end vehicles, including everything from Lexus, Toyota and Honda.

Vehicles were driven to the Port of Montreal and finally loaded onto shops delivered to buyers in Africa and the UAE.

Between March 2021 and December 2022, over 70 vehicles were seized, with an added value of more than $4.5 million. Eighteen people have since been charged with more than 170 offences pertaining to these crimes.
