Three Young Weightlifters Representing Malta In Mexico

Nov 6 2023

Three talented Maltese weightlifters, Tenishia Thornton, Rylee Borg, and Kim Camilleri Lagana, will represent the Malta Weightlifting Federation at the IWF World Junior Championships in Mexico.

They will embark on their journey on Monday and participate in a week-long training camp at a high-performance center in Mexico City alongside international athletes. The championships are scheduled to take place in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Camilleri Lagana, at just 15 years old, has already achieved remarkable success, earning qualification to compete in the U-20 category. She won a bronze medal at the European U-15 Championship and landed two silver medals and a bronze at the Commonwealth Championships, in addition to a gold medal at the European Union Championships.

Tenishia Thornton, Malta’s leading weightlifter, will compete on November 18. Last year, she was crowned World U-17 champion in Mexico and this year, she won gold and silver medals at the Commonwealth Championships as well as gold at the Mediterranean Championships.

She is currently in intensive training for the upcoming IWF Grand Prix, an Olympic qualification event in Doha.

Rylee Borg will be the last Maltese athlete to compete on November 19.

Despite the magnitude of the event, Borg has already had a successful year, securing two silver medals at the Commonwealth Championships and winning a gold medal at the Mediterranean Cup. The Maltese team will be guided by Jesmond Caruana, providing coaching and support as they aim for success in the IWF World Junior Championships.

Dogs Sometimes Fake Being Sick To Get More Attention From Owners

Nov 5 2023

Some dogs may feign illness or injury to garner extra attention from their owners. While genuine signs of distress should be taken seriously, it’s not uncommon for crafty canines to adopt minor symptoms like coughing or limping to receive more affection.

Dr. Richard Pitcairn, a respected veterinarian and author, explains that this behavior often starts with a genuine issue, but the owner’s response reinforces it even after the problem resolves.

For example, if a dog coughs and receives immediate comforting attention, they learn to associate coughing with affection.

Dogs cannot mimic certain symptoms like fevers or diarrhea, so most faker-Fidos tend to exhibit symptoms they can control, such as limping or sneezing. However, it’s important to consult a vet if your dog shows signs of illness or injury, as they may be experiencing genuine discomfort.

Remember, dogs, like humans, can experience minor setbacks during recovery. If your vet can’t find any sign of the previous ailment, it may indicate that your dog was feigning.

If you suspect your dog is putting on an act, consider factors like recent life changes or increased time away from them. Providing dedicated attention through activities like walks or cuddle sessions can help address any underlying motives for their behavior. This reaffirms their importance in your life and may resolve the feigned illness or injury.
