maltatoday, SUNDAY, 12 NOVEMBER 2017 Events 46 Local agency is first to market ICOs Local digital marketing agency ANCHOVY. studios PLC is proud to announce their position as the first agency in Malta to launch into ICO marketing. This exciting new step for the growing company comes follow- ing an established relationship with their first Dutch client – the soon to be launched Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of Virt-U – an economic platform for virtual worlds, launching their own cryp- tocurrency – the Virt-U Token (VRT). ANCHOVY. has been ap- proached by Virt-U to undertake a heavy PR-driven digital market- ing campaign, seeding the infor- mation about the launch of this new cryptocurrency to the appro- priate digital platforms. The VRT is a new ICO that will be launched soon, focusing on the virtual world. It will offer a new blockchain platform that financially supports game devel- opers and will be able to register the gamers' assets, trade, transfer and cash them out. The VRTs are built on the technology of an al- ready established cryptocurrency, Ethereum. As a traffic building, data driven and results oriented agency, AN- CHOVY. is always striving for in- novation and growth. Since the digital world is getting greater every day, they see their relation- ship with Virt-U as a perfect fit. ANCHOVY. are already on fa- miliar grounds with the world of cryptocurrencies & ICOs – oper- ating a popular umbrella website BiteMyCoin.com – where you can find all information about making money with cryptocurrency. Atlas manager participates in walk for Hospice Malta Emirates and VIBE FM send winner to Dubai Atlas Marketing and HR Man- ager Jackie Attard Montalto re- cently participated in Camino 2017: Lucca to Siena, to help raise funds for Hospice Malta. Togeth- er the group managed to collect €8,500. Attard Montalto made use of Atlas Volunteering Leave, a scheme providing staff with an additional two days leave to use in any volunteering initiatives with charitable institutions or NGOs. "The walks were chal- lenging but it was worthwhile, knowing we were raising money for such a worthy organisation - Hospice Malta. The work they do makes a difficult time more bear- able for so many people," said At- tard Montalto. "We were also very lucky to en- joy some beautiful scenery, which gave us added motivation to reach the end." The trip was organised by Eman Azzopardi and covered 130km over six days, on the Via Fran- cigena, an ancient Roman route between France and Rome, which became a pilgrim route from Canterbury to Rome in the Mid- dle Ages. Alex Agius from St Paul's Bay has won two Emirates Economy Class return tickets to Dubai thanks to Emirates and VIBE FM88.7. Agius is the winner of the radio compe- tition broadcast on The Morning Vibe with Abel, JD and Martina. Earlier in October, fans of JD from The Morning Vibe and Val- entina from Nate & Rossi were invited to follow their adventures in Dubai through visual posts on their respective programmes' Facebook pages. JD attracted the highest number of 'likes' and comments, and his morning show hosted the Emirates competition. Listeners were invited to phone in during the The Morning Vibe and Agius guessed the correct answer. While in Dubai, the posts of JD and Valentina attracted thou- sands of interactions. They had a fantastic time and were chauf- feur-driven to visit various land- marks and theme parks in the city. Apart from experiencing the marvellous view from At the Top at the Dubai Mall and the in- door Ski resort at the Mall of the Emirates, they also had a taste of true Arabian culture on a desert safari.

Health authorities are bracing themselves for a virulent, twice as widespread, flu season. During such transitional times of the year, exposure to environmen- tal threats increases. Many factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, expo- sure to toxicity, and poor nutrition, can weaken our immune system. Viruses are mostly transmitted at educational institutions and at work places. Managing each of these factors and adopting a model of consist- ency that actively supports the im- mune system is an excellent way to maintain health throughout the year Dr David K. Hill suggests. He is Chief Medical Officer of do- TERRA®, the world largest essential oils company sourcing over 100 essential oils from more than 40 countries. Hill emphasises the importance of being mindful of our immune system. Supporting our immune system can be easily achieved by taking proactive measures to en- hance the body's ability to protect itself. He says that we should focus on simple approaches that are easy to implement and easy to share with others, such as using essen- tial oils. Among the greatest ben- efits of essential oils is that they are simple to apply and offer consistent benefits. Diffusing essential oils regularly is an easy step that can maxim- ise the health of the family during colder months. Scientific study demonstrates that diffusion of es- sential oils can purify and cleanse the air, providing added protection when the seasonal threats are high. Hill recommends diffusing essen- tial oils every day. Lemon and a protective blend, consisting of wild orange, clove, cinnamon, euca- lyptus and rosemary oils, contain powerful cleansing properties that purify the air we breathe at home, at school or at the office, deliver- ing positive effects to the immune system. The gastrointestinal (GI) system also plays a key role in fixed im- munity. Hill says: "If health of the GI tract is compromised, so is the immune system. A probiotic sup- plement is an excellent way to pop- ulate the GI tract with beneficial microflora, thus enhancing immu- nity." Frequently touched surfaces such as door knobs, keyboards, mobile phones, and grocery carts can be more harmful during cer- tain times of the year. Cleaning these surfaces often is an impor- tant part of minimising exposure to harmful particles. "Our immunity is limited to its own ability to function properly. It is important to both minimise ex- posure to elements that may harm our immune system and to take proactive, consistent measures to enhance the body's ability to pro- tect itself. By developing a daily routine and integrating these tips in a consistent manner, one can easily and effectively keep families and employees healthy throughout the wintry months," said Hill. doTERRA is the world leader in sourcing, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® (CPTG) essen- tial oils through a global network of more than 3 million independ- ent direct-sale distributors, known as Wellness Advocates.
