Gratitude towards Clean Malta workers keeping Malta safe post storm

Oct 31 2021 Share

After Malta and Gozo were hit by more intense weather over the weekend, Clean Malta’s Cleansing and Maintenance Division was hard at work ensuring that the islands’ roads were safe and clean. Their work was praised by many, including local ministers and government officials.

Tourism and Consumer Protection Minister Clayton Bartolo applauded the workers’ determination and hard work, posting images of the resilient task force behind the clean up.

Deo Debattista, Malta’s Parliamentary Secretary for Consumer Protection and Public Cleansing, also congratulated the task force. He commended their unbreakable spirit as they faced the aftermath of strong storms hitting the Mediterranean, with works still ongoing to keep the island safe.

Oct 31 2021 Share

Maltese Labour MP Cyrus Engerer will be making his way to Glasgow as part of the European Parliament Delegation at the COP26, the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference. World leaders will all be convening for this massive event between the 31st of October and the 12th of November in order to discuss the urgent measures on mitigating climate change.

Engerer said that the work done by his office in Brussels on the environment, climate change and the EU’s fundamental values ‘is reaping fruit and this is being recognized by the Group of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament Group and within the European Parliament’s administration.’

These celebrities have the most expensive insured body parts

Oct 31 2021 Share

With wealth comes the possibility of doing almost anything. And for some celebrities, that means insuring some of their body parts to become some of the most expensive biological items in the world. Owning the world’s most expensive car or business is one thing, but for these individuals… well, it’s their legs and, well, um, butts.

Let’s start off simple shall we (even if it’s totally bizarre)? Julia Roberts has had her smile (yes, you read that correctly) insured for a whopping $30 million. Now we’re not sure if it’s her entire mouth or just the ‘act’ of smiling that is insured such a way, but Roberts has gone and placed the price tag at a staggering amount for a showcase of her pearly white teeth.

Next up – legs. The first few make quite some sense – Gareth Bale’s legs are worth $126 million, Cristiano Ronaldo’s legs are worth $144 million, David Beckham’s legs are at $195 million and Lionel Messi set the price at $900 million. Given these are footballers, it’s not that hard to wrap your mind around the concept. But in comes Taylor Swift…

Iconic singer Taylor Swift insured her legs for $40 million, meaning an individual leg is worth a whopping $20 million. This was reported in a 2015 entertainment news portal, making Swift’s legs some of the most expensive limbs in the world. And finally, we couldn’t finish off this list without Kim Kardashian, who insured her butt at $100 million, pumped up from an initial $20 million. We’ll let you sit with that for a bit… pun not intended.

3 day forecasts difficult due to unpredictable weather patterns

3 day forecasts difficult due to unpredictable weather patterns
Oct 31 2021 Share

According to Facebook Weather Page ‘Aggornament tat-temp’, no lengthy forecasts exceeding the 3 day mark will be possible due to the immensely unpredictable weather patterns making their way across the Mediterranean and, by extension, Malta. The first wave of stormy weather will enter Europe, bringing with it rain and low temperatures. This Atlantic produced forecast is set to be intense with strong winds, but the presence of high pressures in the Mediterranean right over Libya could outmatch this climate concoction.

Sunday is expected to be mainly cloudy, with the possibility of rain showers. The worst of the storm is set to hit the middle of the Mediterranean by 11pm. Some Maltese localities have allegedly already experienced 20mm of rain whereas other localities in Gozo experienced none. The upcoming three days seem to be free of rain however. November will kick off with high temperatures, but these forecasts are to be taken with a pinch of salt. In other words, the weather is just as confused as the rest of us trying to figure it out!
