Nokia 6310 brick phone makes a comeback with new features and Snake
Jul 28 2021 Share

Nokia’s one time best seller ‘6310’ has made a comeback and, yes, you can still play snake on it. The handset was adored by millions for its long battery life, simple buttons and screen, sleek design and being allegedly indestructible. The revamp comes with a larger 2.8 inch screen compared with a tiny 1.8 inch screen and a 320×240 pixel definition. The original had a 120×160 pixel definition when it made waves in the tech world. 

Despite coming in more colours, the phone remains true to its bluetooth roots as it remained a 2G phone. With a massive battery life racking up 21 days, the iconic snake game can still be accessed for some hard-hitting nostalgia. It also includes a single rear camera, FM radio and MP3 player for the classic retro feel. The 6310 was discontinued in 2005, but will be making a come back just next month.

Doctor claims he can make his patients 5.6 inches taller through surgery

Doctor claims he can make his patients 5.6 inches taller through surgery
Jul 28 2021 Share

A doctor who established himself in TikTok’s hall of fame claims he can lengthen patients by stretching their limbs by up to 5.6 inches. Charging up to $155,000 for the procedure, orthopaedic surgeon Shabab Mahboubian has allegedly been performing these bizarre surgeries for well over a decade. 

The procedure, which is quite complicated, involves cutting through bone and inserting an adjustable ‘nail’, but it is beyond cheap. Mahboubian, a 45-year-old from California, charges up to $75,000 to lengthen femurs, $85,000 tibias and a whopping $155,000 as a combo package. 

He claims he has not only made people physically taller, but also help them achieve their lifelong goals. Around a year after the process, patients return to the clinic to have the nails removed, with the patients needing around three to four months after surgery to walk without assistance. They also require six to eight months before they can do any sport.

FELTOM welcomes reopening of language schools for vaccinated students

FELTOM welcomes reopening of language schools for vaccinated students
Jul 28 2021 Share

The Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations Malta welcomes the new legal amendments around English language schools. The Superintendent for Public Health recommended amendments which include the reopening the language schools to teach adults and students who are fully vaccinated. 

FELTOM claimed that it has always been in favour of those establishments which wish to operate seriously in the sector. The specific sector suffered immensely due to the sudden decision to close classrooms following an increase in COVID-19 infections and active cases. 

FELTOM also stated that it believes completely in the reopening for those fully-vaccinated students who have a right to visit Malta as much as any other tourist visiting the island. Taking away this right, the organisation said, would be discriminatory and will continue to damage the sector’s financial situation and overall reputation. 

The change in the legal advice which came through LN 314 was, according to FELTOM, the first step for the industry to start its path back towards normality. This will help to reduce the losses experienced by schools after the sector was so greatly impacted by the closure and overall pandemic.
