The old-fashioned 7up ice cream float recipe is an iconic soda fountain treat that goes back some years – bringing different tastes depending on which ice cream you use.

The ice cream float is believed to have been created by Robert McCay Green in Pennsylvania during the Franklin Institute’s semicentennial celebration in the 1870s. Legend has it that on a hot day, Green ran out of ice for the flavored drinks he was selling.

In a stroke of inspiration, he substituted vanilla ice cream, giving birth to the delightful concoction we now know as the ice cream float.

The soda fountain is now associated with the 1950s, with cookbooks and magazines from that era promoting the mix.

The kids plan to make a ruckus upon being woken up for the day, but given that they were given a treat by the teacher the day before, they plan to behave.

However, they will still probably steal a sandwich from one of their friends and then proceed to throw the rest on the floor.

They will also take every opportunity to jump into holes full of water and then ask – or rather, demand – that their dad take them to McDonald’s.

Nationalist Party Proposes Updating Definition Of Environment

Apr 24 2024

The Nationalist Party in Malta is advocating for environmental protection to be recognized as a Fundamental Right in the country’s Constitution.

This commitment was highlighted during a news conference by Shadow Ministers Rebekah Borg and Darren Carabott, along with European Parliament Election Candidate Norma Camilleri.

They expressed concern over the lack of government focus on environmental issues, citing instances such as the felling of nearly 4000 protected trees since 2017.

The party proposes a significant legislative change to elevate environmental protection in Malta’s legal framework through public consultation and a Draft Law presentation.

Four Recommendations:

Enforcing Environmental Laws: Granting authority for enforcement where Courts identify potential environmental damage.

Expanding Environmental Definition: Defining ‘Environment’ to encompass air, water, land, ecosystems, and all natural and physical resources affecting human life.

Considering Social and Cultural Factors: Recognizing environmental conditions alongside social coherence and cultural attributes.

Removing Personal Interest Requirement: Eliminating the need for personal interests to initiate constitutional cases related to the environment in Maltese Courts, facilitating public and organizational scrutiny.
