Points are carried forward from one day to the next. A €300 vouch- er from The Point Shopping Mall in Tigne' Point will be awarded daily, including Sundays, to the top scorer of the day. On eight random World Cup matches during the competi- tion participants can answer to an instant win question or task and participants replying to this will be eligible to win a Samsung 40" LED HD Smart TV. The Grand Prize, a brand new Alfa Romeo MiTo, will be drawn on 14th July from all participants who sent at least one SMS to 5070 0300 dur- ing the competition. The number of points accumulated through correct answers gives participants a better chance of winning any of the prizes. Winners need to answer a skill-based question correctly be- fore availing of the prizes.

Terms and conditions apply emCare is the creation of a partner- ship between Vassallo Group's eld- erly care operation, CareMalta and 6PM PLC, the highly established IT solutions company in international healthcare solutions. The result is a highly motivated and dedicated fu- sion of healthcare and technology to provide continuous and real-time health and environmental monitor- ing. emCare, along with GO PLC, is also the sole provider of the govern- ment-subsidised TelecarePlus serv- ice for the Maltese Islands. The latest TelecarePlus and eCare services offer non-intrusive moni- toring allowing the 24/7 call centre to know if our client is well or needs help without even needing to press a button. There is a vast range of devices available which are aimed at peace of mind, prevention and maintaining one's independence within their home. Taking it one step further, the in- troduction of a simple-to-use mo- bile phone extends the service to anywhere in Malta, Gozo and the rest of Europe. This phone can be controlled by the next of kin from a website to make the setup as sim- ple as possible for the user. The SOS button on the back of the phone is the one and only button that needs to be pressed in any emergency situ- ation. Upon doing this, the next of kin will not only be contacted but will also receive an exact pin-point GPS location of where their loved one is. In many unfortunate cases a Geo- fencing setup may be required to inform the next of kin that the user has left their specified safe zone to be able to track them down and get them back home safely. emCare's vision of prevention far exceeds one's environment but is al- so extended to one's health. SCOPE is emCare's flagship solution. It has been developed with the strictest security measures to meet the high demands for today's data protec- tion as regards eHealth monitoring. The solution provides education, encourages a healthier lifestyle and enables self-care. SCOPE also fulfils the 3 pillars within a B2B environ- ment such as an elderly care home. These pillars consist of the collec- tion of vital signs, a care plan and medication management. The solu- tion has been perfected through the implementations carried out both locally and internationally to maxi- mize the potential of the care home through accountability, efficiency and accuracy while enforcing a pa- perless environment, all resulting in the very best possible care for the resident. Speaking about the company's success since its launch in 2012, Ivan Bartolo, CEO at emCare said, "Since its inception, emCare's vision has been to help people feel more inde- pendent, at ease and secure within the community. "It gives us great satisfaction to know that thanks to our mission, people from different walks of life are leading better and more fulfill- ing lives. We will continue working hard to provide the best possible service to our customers and ensure their well-being." Active Ageing is internationally an ongoing effort to improve the qual- ity in the latter stages of life. Our efforts, dedication and beliefs are focused towards this im- provement and education about the elderly who have invaluable experi- ence and knowledge to teach the rest of soci- ety to flourish.

Franco Azzopardi, Chair- man and CEO of Express Trailers met Nathan Farru- gia, CEO of Inspire outside the company's head offices in Luqa, where he pledged the company's support to the Ultra Med Challenge with a donation from the Emmanuel Vella Charity Fund. "Nathan must be commended for this feat, and gesture of altru- ism at the highest level and for his incessant sacrifices towards char- ity. This is why when we heard of Nathan's challenge we immediately felt that as a company, we had to not only support his cause but also him as an athlete. He will need all the strength and fortitude but he is an experienced extreme athlete and will come back a victor," said Franco Azzopardi. Azzopardi recalled his personal experience when a few years ago he cycled from London to Paris – a 500 km route in 24 hours non-stop and a week after, the Swiss Radmarathon, 720 km in 29 hours non-stop. "For me, the worst time of the night normally is between 0300hrs and 0500hrs when the mind goes into a slight depressive state. I went through this and it is at that time, being solo with no encouragement, that you start questioning the ra- tionale of doing this to yourself, asking why, finding no sensible an- swers. "Some call that time the hour of temptation to quit! But knowing that I was helping others made the solitude, the sacrifice and the pain of extreme challenges, bearable." "Nathan is one of the many 'more vulnerable' road users we try to support. As a company with such a heavy presence on the roads, Ex- press Trailers respects all vulner- able road users, ranging from other car drivers, motorcyclists, pe- destrians but also the count- less runners and cyclists who use the roads for their regular training. We want to promote the importance that this vul- nerability goes protected." "Since this will be a non- stop 60-hour challenge during which I will not sleep, the real test will start when fatigue and sleep deprivation effects will kick in. In fact to date, the longest I went without sleep- ing was only 28 hours!," said Nathan Farrugia during a vis- it to Express Trailers who will be supporting this challenge "I am very grateful to all those who have pledged their support to this event and I am very confident that we will manage to meet our target of collecting €50,000 for Inspire. Last Monday's send-off event at San An- ton was very well attended and we managed to raise €8000," concluded Farrugia. All funds raised will go to Inspire, which is a non-profit organisation that is at the forefront in providing therapeutic, education and leisure services to persons with disabilities in Malta and Gozo. To support this challenge, send an SMS with "Nathan's Challenge" to 50617359 (€2.33), 50618080 (€4.66), 50618962 (€6.99) or 50619215 (€11.65). FOR many 18 to 24 year olds, getting insured and paying for their car insurance is seen as an extra bur- den, even though statistically they are within the age bracket when they need car insurance the most. GasanMamo Insurance, the leading motor insurer in Malta, is launching a first to the market, a new scheme that will give those in the 18 to 24 age bracket an in- stant 65% discount on their car insurance and the in- dependence and freedom of having their car insurance in their own names whilst earning their own no claims discount from day one. "We know how difficult it is for younger people to get insured and how most issue the policy in a parent's name so that they can benefit from their no claims dis- count and pay a cheaper premium," said Francis Val- letta , General Manager at GasanMamo Insurance. "We have always been at the forefront in the insur- ance industry and through the introduction of this scheme, a first on the Maltese Islands, we are giving young drivers the freedom of having their own car insured in their own name at a discounted premium whilst reassuring parents by giving them some peace of mind by rewarding their children for good driv- ing." Drivers between 18 and 24 years old who apply for this new scheme will get a 65% discount by simply in- stalling a telematics device, which records the speed and distance covered by the vehicle. This information will be used to score driving per- formance and all a driver needs to do is to maintain a healthy score by driving cautiously. The current score can be accessed by the driver at any point in time via a website and the driver will also be alerted when points are deducted. Further information on the scheme can be obtained by visiting www.boosh.com.mt or one of GasanMamo's branches across Malta and Gozo Alfa Romeo MiTo and daily prizes to be won during World Cup with GO has left their specified safe ity in the latter stages of life.
