Summer diary - Kristina Chetcuti

Packing Does the thought of having to pack a suitcase make your heart sink to the pits or does it cause a flutter of butterflies in your tummy with joy? Do you pull out your empty suitcase from the bottom/top of the wardrobe with a heave and a huge sigh or do you magic wand it out and start filling it in with absolute delight? In short, are you a slacker-packer or a cracker-packer? I’m a slacker. I even find packing for an overnight stay in Gozo daunt­ing. If only I could blink and all the right stuff would find its way in my battered carry-on... Читать дальше...

If one member suffers… - Andrew Azzopardi

Times of Malta 

There is no greater issue in the Catholic Church today than that of child abuse. The Church’s credibility and future depend on how this problem is handled and solved. The Pennsylvania Grand Jury report detailing claims of sexual abuse of over 1,000 children by 301 priests makes for very painful reading. The accounts are truly horrific and display the pain and suffering experienced by victims. My thoughts are with all the victims, survivors and their loved ones. They have shown great courage by coming forward. Читать дальше...

Appreciation: John Leonard Peel

Times of Malta 

Alfred Conti Borda writes: The passing away of John Peel is poignant indeed. I had known John since the days when he was president of the Downs Syndrome Association in the 1990s. At that time I had asked him whether I could be their Santa Claus for the children’s Christmas party and he kindly obliged.

On retirement from his career in the Royal Air Force... Читать дальше...

Burning Man organizers stress the importance of consent

Times Union 

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The #MeToo movement is making its way to Burning Man. Organizers are reminding attendees that just because the counter-culture festival in the Nevada desert is known for occasional nudity and kinky landmarks like the "Orgy Dome," it doesn't mean it's a free-for-all when it comes to touching or nonconsensual sex, the Reno Gazette Journal reported . While the festival doesn't have official guidelines, it does have a set of informal rules. Tex Allen, a 13-year Burner, doubts many newcomers to the playa are reading those. Читать дальше...

Appreciation: Joe Tabone

Times of Malta 

Victor Calleja writes: I met Joe in the strangest circumstances, about two years ago, at the ungodliest hour of five in the morning. This turned out to be a most fruitful meeting and gave me just a small glimpse into a man with an enormous heart. We were part of a biggish group going to Brussels on a fact-finding tour of the EU to learn about funding. When we met at the airport for the connecting flight to Paris, I was introduced to Joe and Mark Vella, the CEO and managing director of Halmann. I introduced myself as a journalist.
