However, COVID-19 had other plans and this gave them enough time to build up their skills and morale to take their shot this year. After placing second in Malta’s Got Talent, the crew will be taking two teams (yes, two!) to chase higher goals in Los Angeles, California.

Comprised of team members of all ages, the group has already proven to have what it takes both locally and on an International stage. And this next milestone is the culmination of all such hard work.

Speaking about the upcoming experience and the preparation that went into it, founder and head choreographer Cheryl Lofreda told MaltaDaily that: 

It has always been a goal of mine to represent Malta in one of the biggest dance competitions worldwide. This will surely be an experience to remember and cherish, & we look forward to sharing the stage together as a team.

The local group will be going head to head with some of the world’s most formidable dance crews. Coming out on top would make The MVMT World Champions for 2022 – no pressure!

The first turtle nest for this summer has just been found at Ramla l-Hamra in Gozo by a Wildlife Rescue Team Malta volunteer by the name of Serena. 

Taking to social media, the ‘eggciting’ news was announced by the rescue team, saying that this comes after weeks of daily night patrols and morning checks. 

Coordinators from Nature Trust – FEE Malta as well as ERA officials were all called in to inspect the area and confirm that this is in fact a turtle’s nest. ‘The area will be monitored 24/7 for the coming 2 months’ until the hatchlings start to emerge. 

The group also offers people the chance to volunteer and care for, or search for, turtle nests. ‘Patrols on other beaches will still continue as nesting season is not yet over.’ 

‘Anyone spotting a turtle on a beach, please call us immediately on 9999 9505, do not use flash, do not touch the turtle, and give her at least 5-10m of space.’

Half of Gen Z prefer to search on TikTok or Instagram instead of Google

Half of Gen Z prefer to search on TikTok or Instagram instead of Google

It seems as though the internet-age adage ‘Google It’ might soon change to ‘TikTok it’ as many from Gen Z prefer to use the latter app, or Instagram, to search for information. 

New data has revealed that nearly half of Gen Z mobile users turn to the social media apps instead of Google, with 40% saying they already do so. 

By Gen Z we mean the generation of people born in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and it could only be wondered what the next generation, known as Generation Alpha, would be using. 

TikTok is currently the fastest growing social media platform and has massively increased its user base in the last few years. This prompted other apps to take its approach, including Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. 

Google senior vice president Prabhakar Raghavan told Fortune Brainstorm Tech that when Gen Z are looking for, say, a place to have lunch, they will go to TikTok or Instagram. 

Google also confirmed the statistic to Insider, saying that they face robust competition from an array of sources. The search giant is also attempting to finding new ways to bring in younger generations through innovations in camera technology.
