The Armed Forces of Malta’s Rescue co-ordination Centre at Luqa Barracks was alerted to a boat which required assistance, carrying some 91 migrants on board (including 5 women).
After locating their inflatable rubber dinghy, in a position some 25 nautical miles off Gozo, the Maritime Squadron’s Diciotti-Saettia class offshore patrol vessel, the P-61, was diverted to the area to assess the situation and render assistance as required.
On arrival on site, the migrants in distress were taken aboard the Maltese military patrol vessel, which landed them safely to Malta Police immigration authorities at the Maritime Squadron’s Base of Haywharf, Floriana.

(via stearns.wordpress.com) Journalism Will Rise and Fall With Its Communities
Creating a sustainable future for journalism will demand an entirely new approach to building community around the news.
Creating a sustainable future for journalism will demand an entirely new approach to building community around the news.
Two stories from the past week drive that point home.
First the Good News
Mathew Ingram at Gigaom has a great profile of the Dutch crowd-funded journalism site De Correspondent, which brings in almost $2 million a year in subscriptions. Drawing on a piece in Fast Company, Ingram highlights how De Correspondent builds community:
“One of the key principles behind De Correspondent,” Ingram writes, “is that the news outlet and its community of…

A day which I will never forget, whilst working in Rome: the world’s media descended on the Eternal City, just as the heavens opened with bucketful’s of water, as if a sign of discontent up there . . . Twas a hectic exciting week after that till Easter Sunday! And the rest is now history 🙂
A year ago Benedict XVI stepped down from the Throne of Peter because of old age. His departure was like a shock that made Francis’ pontificate of change possible
The Vatican is no longer the same. Benedict XVI’s shock decision twelve months ago to step down and go back to being Joseph Ratzinger, changed the course of the Church’s history
It was 11 February 2013 and the Vatican was celebrating the anniversary of the Lateran Pacts. The Pope was holding a Consistory for the decrees of canonization of some saints and after announcing the date for the proclamations of sainthood, Benedict XVI began to read out something else in Latin from a sheet he was holding.

Demands of Kidnapper & CHINESE Negotiators
Some US citizens think it is funny how several of them want to emulate the Asians in things like bullet trains, planned cities, compulsory abortions, rigid population control, and eating habits (almost forgot Mooch!). Yet here’s something really worthwhile, and any nation’s leaders probably don’t like it.
Any which way, it’s a real feel-good story for all of us.
A sniper can take a man’s head clean off his shoulders with a Barrett .50 cal, it gets everybody’s attention. The time it takes to do this can be up to 4 full seconds (if you’re a mile and a half away) but the training and equipment it takes to accomplish this feat is an entirely different story.
In this case, they probably spent $0.35 cents only! And then, . . .
· in the USA (for example), they would shut the street down for 48 hours…
· Take 12 hours to talk him out of it…
· Spend $5 million giving him a fair trial…
· And pay his food and lodging for life.
