Two new speed cameras for Malta’s Coast Road

Apr 19 2022

With the approval of Transport Malta, LESA will be installing two new speed cameras in Malta’s Coast Road, in the direction towards the south of Malta.

This follows the installation of speed cameras last year in direction from Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq to San Pawl il-Baħar. The new speed cameras will fill up the space left without any surveillance as part of a project to increase road safety on the island.

This road was of concern for many drivers, as between 2010 and 2018, the road saw 70 accidents as well as 6 deaths.

Photos shared on social media, the cameras seem to have been installed close to the Salina Hotel and next to Magħtab. The first camera has a speed limit of 70km/h and the second 60km/h.

In the past few months of 2022, the number of road accidents raised major concerns as they seemed to have only increased, leading to the death of many on the road. The worrying uptick could prompt more cameras popping up in other localities but many have called for more serious measures and awareness about the issue.

Country with biggest penis size revealed – Malta not in top 86

Apr 19 2022

Unfortunately, Malta has not made it onto a list which allegedly reveals the country which has largest average penis size. A poll by online pharmacy ‘From Mars’ of 86 nations ranked the sizes from biggest to smallest.

Pharmacist Navin Khosla, who reviewed the study, said that whether people are concerned about the size or shape, ‘most of us have always wondered at some point or another whether ours is big enough.’

According to the study, men in Ecuador are the most well-endowed, with an average penis size of 6.93 inches when erect. This makes the measurement more than 10% of the average height.

In second place comes Cameroon, with an average size of 6.56 inches, followed by Bolivia (6.50), Sudan (6.48) and Haiti (6.30). And well, there can’t be the biggest size without a smallest size.

The study found that Cambodians have the smallest penis size when erect, coming in at 3.95 inches long. Taiwan is not far off with an average of 4.24 inches. The Philippines is just above with 4.27 inches.

Now, the poll has surveyed 86 countries from all over the world, but Malta is nowhere to be found on that list. That may suggest a couple of things, but some might prefer to suspect that Malta was simply not included for one reason or another.

Easter hotel bookings reach 70% of pre-pandemic 2019

Apr 19 2022

Hotel bookings for Easter averaged over 70% of the amount of bookings during the same pre-pandemic 2019 period. This was revealed by Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association Tony Zahra who speaking to the Malta Independent.

Zahra revealed that 85% of the hotel guests were non-Maltese, with restaurant bookings also doing very well during this Easter period. The locality of the restaurants was a major factor in this, with Zahra saying that Gozitan restaurants had the majority of their customers being Maltese, whereas those in Bugibba saw mainly non-Maltese customers.

Zahra pointed to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions as being a main contributor to this improved situation, which he welcomed. Zahra expressed cautious optimism about the future, looking forward towards the removal of all restrictions.

When it came to Gozo, the domestic market was affected by unfavourable wind conditions. Gozo Tourism association CEO Joe Muscat said that this affected pre-made bookings. Easter has always been a busy period, leading to a domestic market increase for Gozo.

However, the market was not completely like pre-pandemic Easters. The foreign market in Gozo is slowly recovering but certain conditions, like the weather, cannot be accounted for.

Willow Smith rocks shaved head at Coachella to support mum Jada

Apr 19 2022

Headlining at Coachella, daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow captured everyone’s attention after she rocked the stage with a shaven head.

The 21-year-old, who is known for her career in the entertainment industry and her 2016 hit ‘Whip My Hair’ did the stunt after a now iconic Oscars slap by her father.

During the Oscars, Will Smith slapped comedian and presenter Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss. The incident has since become a meme and a subject of controversy, and even prompted a tweet by Jaden Smith saying ‘And that’s how we do it.’

However, Willow has been playing with her hairstyle in such a way for quite a while, even shaving her hair on stage back in 2019. She told Insider that her favourite song in the set is ‘Whip My Hair’ because of how it feels to sing it.

‘This is going to be my third time in my life shaving my head. I’m always shaving my head at monumental times in my life when things are changing and this is definitely one of those moments.’

The first time she shaved her hair was in 2012 during the ‘Whip My Hair’ tour, with her mother debuting a similar hairstyle shortly after inspired by her daughter. Jada revealed Willow convinced her to do it due to her struggles with alopecia.
