Zac Efron Pays Tribute To Matthew Perry

Dec 12 2023

During his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, Zac Efron took a poignant moment to pay tribute to his late friend and “17 Again” co-star, Matthew Perry.

Expressing gratitude for Perry’s kindness and generosity during their collaboration on the 2009 rom-com, Efron credited Perry for making the experience enjoyable and transformative for his career.

He emotionally acknowledged Perry’s absence and reflected on the significant impact their partnership had on propelling him into the next chapter of his professional journey.

Perry passed away at the age of 54 in October, leaving behind a desire to work with Efron once again. Efron revealed that Perry had expressed plans for a movie about his life, envisioning Efron playing the younger version of himself.

This revelation added a layer of poignancy to Efron’s admiration for Perry’s aspirations, and he expressed being “hugely honored” by the idea. Despite Perry’s untimely death, Efron remains open to the possibility of realizing their shared vision, stating that he is still deeply affected by the loss of his friend and co-star.

The emotional depth of Efron’s words and his commitment to honoring Perry’s wishes add a heartfelt dimension to the Hollywood ceremony.

Rabat Event Organisers Almost Fined For Not Having Sinks

Dec 12 2023

A video uploaded to Natalis Notabilis’ Facebook page, an annual event held in the heart of Rabat, detailed a recent back and forth which took place between the organisers and sanitary officials.

An organiser explained to the public on stage that the event was about to be fined for not having sinks behind each stand, despite this reportedly not being the case in previous years.

The organiser explained that for the sinks to be established, the entire activity would have to be taken down and set up again. An agreement was therefore reached wherein the plans for sinks for next year were handed to the organisers.

However, the following day and despite the agreement, sanitary workers once again showed up and claimed to have to fine the organisers.

The organisers explained that they were ready to stop the entire event, to which the sanitary authorities replied by stating that this is not necessary.

The organiser said that those involved are serious about the event and that they would be ready to stop it if those involved would be fined or taken to court over the unknown sink rule.

What do you make of this? Watch the full video on Natalis Notabilis.

146 New & Upgraded Substations Across Malta In 2 Years

Dec 12 2023

Enemalta invested in 146 new or upgraded substations in the last two years, as it prepares to augment its investment in the electricity distribution network in 2024, to continue improving the quality of electricity services across Malta and Gozo.

Minister for the Environment, Energy and Infrastructure Miriam Dalli discussed the implementation of this plan with Enemalta management and employees during a visit to the final works of another substation upgrade at Dingli. Through these works, Enemalta is doubling the capacity of one of the principal substations in this locality with a new transformer to increase network capacity and flexibility in the area.

Minister Miriam Dalli explained that Enemalta needs to keep accelerating its investments in the country’s electricity infrastructure to continue to meet the requirements of Malta’s economic and social development.

“Enemalta operates more than 1,650 substations to distribute electricity in all localities. Through the new and upgraded substations, we are increasing network capacity and introducing more efficient technologies, such as remote switching systems, which help Enemalta engineers and technicians respond to network emergencies quicker, without having to physically travel from one place to another to shift to alternative network connections. Along with investments in other parts of the national grid, these reinforcements will continue to improve electricity services to families and businesses,” Minister Miriam Dalli said.

The Minister reminded that this investment is continuing in the new year. “Last summer we promised that investment in the electricity infrastructure will double in 2024. We are going even further, as we allocated more than three times the investment originally planned, with a total of €55 million for Malta’s electricity generation and distribution systems.”

Enemalta Executive Chairperson Ing. Ryan Fava explained that 2024 will see the development of circa 45 more new substations, while another 40 will be upgraded with new switchgear panels and uprated transformers.

“We are also working hard to increase the 11-kilovolt cable connections between these substations, as well as the 400/230-volt feeders distributing electricity from substations to our customers. We want to have more of these connections, so that when difficulties arise, we will have more resources to help our customers without delay. This is why we are also joining forces with Infrastructure Malta and Transport Malta to lay some 70 kilometres of 11-kilovolt cables in the next six months,” Ing. Fava said.

Enemalta is also planning other projects that will be implemented in coming years, including new distribution centres in Naxxar and Siggiewi, a rehaul of the Msida Distribution Centre and the upgrading of the St Andrew’s Distribution Centre in Pembroke. Preparatory works for these projects are already underway. A call for offers for the development of the Naxxar Distribution Centre was published last week.

Another important project is the new 132-kilovolt cable link between the Malta-Italy Interconnector’s terminal at Maghtab and the Mosta Distribution Centre. This investment will double the connections between the Interconnector and the local network, while paving the way for Interconnector 2, the second subsea connection with mainland Europe which is being developed by Interconnect Malta.
