12 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 22 DECEMBER 2019 COMMERCIAL KUBEK has officially inau- gurated its new showroom in Mdina Road, Qormi, with Archbishop Charles J. Sciclu- na blessing the new establish- ment. Founded in 2000, Kubek is a family business run by An- thony Borg who started off with a dream and an ambition to expand his knowledge and operations within this field. Today Borg can count on more than 35 years of experi- ence in the furniture produc- tion industry. When originally set up, the company started exportation solid rough-sawn pine furni- ture to the United Kingdom, producing more than 450 pcs of furniture per week for over 16 years. In 2017, Kubek stopped ex- porting to the UK and rea- ligned its operations to the local market. The Qormi showroom was opened in July this year, of- fering a vast range of locally produced furniture includ- ing, kitchens, bedrooms, wall units and modular sofas. The company also representes one of Europe's most advanced and innovative manufacturers of high quality custom-built upholstered sofa furniture. Kubek has a 2,500 square- metre production facil- ity where it blends traditional carpentry skills with the most advanced and cutting edge technology in the furniture production industry. The company strives to of- fer its clients the very best and most personalised experience directly with the manufactur- er when choosing the very best unique products and ensuring quality and long-lasting pleas- ure out of the personalised furniture chosen. Kubek officially inaugurates new furniture showroom in Qormi MELITA Limited has launched three new mobile plans with an entirely new concept. These plans will, in fact, offer custom- ers a choice of mobile internet speeds rather than data bundles. All customers will therefore have unlimited data, regardless of the plan they choose, but se- lect a speed at which they wish to use their data depending on their own specific needs. The three new mobile plans, named Surfer, Streamer and Rac- er start from €25 per month. The Surfer plan offers endless mobile data at speeds of up to 3Mbps, for those who use mobile internet for email, to browse the web and for social media. The Streamer plan offers speeds of up to 20Mbps, ideal for those who use mobile internet also to watch online TV, use music services and make vid- eo calls. Finally, the Racer plans offers speeds of up to 200Mbps, allowing users to stream HD con- tent, up/download heavy files, and enjoy interactive gaming. Mireille Muscat, Head of Mar- keting at Melita Limited, said, "The days of worrying about whether your internet data bun- dle is going to last until the end of the month are over. Thanks to Melita's new plans, customers can now decide on a speed that matches their usage habits, and then enjoy endless data at a price that is unrivalled in Malta. Go- ing forward, Melita will continue to seek new ways to deliver its products in a way that meets, and exceeds, our customers' expecta- tions. It is this approach which has enabled Melita to grow its mobile customer base to more than 150,000 subscriptions and inspires us to continue develop- ing new ideas."

This year's competition, which welcomed hundreds of athletes from all over the globe, was held between 9-10 November in Mexico. Bartolo, a schoolteacher who is currently on sabbatical to focus on her training, currently holds the coveted title of WFF European Bi- kini Champion having won first place in the 2018 competition. Asked about the recent contest and her plac- ing, Bartolo said, "placing fourth is amazing, especially considering I was less prepared than usual for this competition, as I had to fit the whole preparation process into seven weeks instead of the usual 12 or 13. I'm glad I pushed myself and am thrilled with the result. I was also given some excellent individual feedback by one of the judges." The World Fitness Federation (WFF) was founded in 1968 as an international fitness, model and bodybuilding association. Its com- petitions promote athletic figures, and dif- ferent categories have their own standards of aesthetic quality and shape beyond just muscle mass. The WFF Bikini Model category is focused on proportion and shape above muscularity. Aside from great stage presence, which is an essential factor, the WFF stipulates that Bikini models should have good definition through their abs, shoulders and back, with less leg definition, especially between hamstrings and quads. As European champion, Leanne is automati- cally entitled to WFF Pro status meaning she can compete in future international competi- tions. Preparation for these events involves intense training, and she says that, ultimately, it's the support she gets back home that makes it all worth it.
