Race track will replace two company locations in new agreement

Mar 7 2022

Posting to social media, the Malta Motorsport Federation revealed that it is extremely grateful for another milestone reached this morning at the Hal Far Industrial Area.

The federation revealed that earlier today, 7th March 2022, the Minister for the Economy and Industry Silvio Schembri announced that an official agreement has been reached for the ‘relocation with the two last companies still operating from the area now earmarked for the construction of the race track finalised.’

Minister Silvio Schembri sealed these agreements along with representatives of Attrans Limited and White Bros Limited, along with Architect Joseph Attar from Indis Malta Ltd.

Following some relocations weeks ago, the land is now fully available. The race track was confirmed back on the 27th of September 2021, with an investment of €20 million. The prime minister had stated that the race track will be able to host international events of the highest calibre, with many sport enthusiasts looking forward for the completion of the track.

Are Balenciaga and Apple officially collaborating?

Mar 7 2022

Following Balenciaga’s show invites and the FW22 runway presentation, many fans are wondering whether their collaboration with Apple is actually a thing that will happen.

Nothing has been announced by either company as of yet, but there are some hints that seem to suggest that this could be an actual possibility.

If we look back, Balenciaga had already joined up with Apple Music, when Demna, creative director of the brand, curated a playlist to accompany the label’s ‘Hello, My Name Is Demna’ merchandise.

This was continued by Rammstein in 2021 when they released limited edition merch and a special Apple Music playlist for the German band’s fans.

Balenciaga is known for its weird collaborations and high-class connections – with associations ranging from everything like Simpsons and even hip hop star Kanye West.

The FW22 collection unveils a knockoff Apple hoodie, with the slogan ‘Be Different’ written underneath the iconic nibbled fruit. However, the Balenciaga x Apple collab is yet to be confirmed.

It could be that Apple is seeking to expand into the fashion industry as artist pullouts (such as Kanye) impact the name of the brand. If anything, the fashion brand could give the tech giant a big boost despite it already being a mainstay.

Temperature in Malta to drop to 5°C this mid-week

Mar 7 2022

This is a heads up for all those who love to cuddle up with hot beverages next to a fireplace – temperatures are expected to drop to around 5°C by the middle of this week.

Several weather news portals are reporting a mass of very cold air, known as a Siberian express, expected to hit the central Mediterranean.

High pressure over Northern Europe will direct the freezing temperatures towards the Maltese islands from mid-week. The highest temperatures are set to reach 12 degrees Celsius.

The lowest temperatures however are set to drop to around 5 and 6°C, some of the coldest temperatures we’ve had this year yet. In the mean time, the weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy throughout the whole week.

Some isolated showers are also expected at some point today and by the end of this week as well. So this is your cue to huddle up, wear your most comfortable socks and prepare for some chilly nights.

Celebrating business mogul Hugo Chetcuti’s 33rd birthday

Mar 7 2022

It would have been the 56th birthday of Malta’s best known business moguls and entrepreneurs Hugo Chetcuti today, the 7th of March 2022.

A visionary and key player in the entertainment industry, Hugo was fatally stabbed outside one of his Paceville establishments, succumbing to his injuries on 12th July 2018.

Chetcuti had been dubbed the king of Paceville or the hospitality king as he left a legacy through his work and his family.

Kicking off his business by purchasing Footloose Bar in the early 1980s, Hugo went on to work and create some of the entertainment mecca’s most popular and beloved hubs, bars, clubs and restaurants.

Hugo was father to Luke Chetcuti, who vowed to continue his already well-established and massive legacy. With food outlets offering some of the best dishes on the island, the introduction of the roof-top Infinity Pool as well as a plethora of achievements, Hugo was believed by many.

Rest in Peace Hugo, and happy birthday! You are, and will be, dearly missed.
