Getting married
Due to the UK Prime Minister's announcement on the evening of 23 March 2020 and governmental advice issued since then, ceremonies are only taking place with limited availability, guest numbers and content. Social distancing restrictions are in place.
The above approach may change as information from the government is updated on a daily basis. Please check our webpages on a regular basis.
There will no additional charges if you wish to rebook your ceremony to a later date, if the statutory 'Notice of Intention to Marry/Civil Partnership' has not expired.
If the statutory 'Notice of Intention to Marry/Civil Partnership' is due to expire on or before the date of the rebooked ceremony, then you will need to give fresh 'Notice of Intention to Marry/Civil Partnership' and this will incur the required statutory fee and the waiting period of 28 clear days will apply.
If you wish to cancel your ceremony the usual cancellation fees will apply.
You don't have to give notice if you're getting married in a Church of England church, unless one or both of you are foreign nationals subject to immigration control.
If you live in Birmingham and wish to get married in a different venue, you must first give notice of your intention to marry at least 29 days before the ceremony.
To give notice you will need to have booked the venue for your ceremony. Possible places to get married include:
- The Ceremony Suite at the Birmingham Register Office
- an approved premise
- legally registered religious buildings.
If you want to get married abroad, contact the country's embassy in the UK. They will tell you which documents you need. Please also see Gov.UK's guidance on getting married abroad.

The Cost of Using Obsolete and Outdated Technology
Faced with competing financial demands, businesses are always looking for ways to cut costs. Small businesses choose to put off necessary expenditures like replacing an old computer or server. What some business owners do not understand is that an outdated computer costs more than a new one in terms of lower productivity, increased maintenance costs, upgrades, security risks and lack of customer confidence.
As computers age, they freeze more often, run slower and require more maintenance. Older computers lack the power needed for new software programs that can increase productivity. They run on outdated software that creates a security risk including cyber attacks and data breaches. A recent survey found that U.S. businesses may be losing up to $1.8 trillion in wasted productivity due to outdated technology.
If you want to calculate how much your old computer is costing your business in productivity loss, think about how much time it takes to boot up your computer and for your programs to start running at a good speed. Add to that how much time it takes when your computer freezes or crashes, and how many times you need upgrades and/or maintenance for it. That time works out to be one hour every day.
The average salary in the GTA is roughly $47,000 or $25 per hour. So, your full-time employee works 5 days a week for 50 weeks a year. Your computer costs you $6,250 per year! The cost running your obsolete computer now exceeds the cost of a brand-new desktop or laptop.
Vulnerability to Security Threats
When you are running older hardware and software that lacks critical updates, you are at risk of a data breach. In 2019, there were 3,800 data breaches. According to Forbes, data breaches exposed 4.1 billion records in the first half of 2019. The bottom line is that looking at the amount businesses could lose from a security standpoint only, businesses that cut corners updating their technology stand to lose a lot more than they would gain.
How Often Should I Replace my Computer?
The lifetime for a desktop computer and a laptop is approximately 4 to 5 years. Small businesses tend to hold on to their computers for more than 4 years.

Johanna Konta faces friend and honorary Briton Donna Vekic on Wimbledon Centre Court
Johanna Konta may be one of only five home favourites left in the Wimbledon singles draws, but her opponent on Wednesday, Donna Vekic, also has a distinctly British feel.
Vekic, the Croatian world No 58, had two spells being coached by Britain's David Felgate and as a result spent hour after hour practising at the UK's National Tennis Centre (NTC) and Junior Tennis Centre as a teenager.
There she rubbed shoulders with young British hopefuls, including a certain Jo Konta, whom she meets on Centre Court. Vekic even speaks with a slight British lilt and said: "I was training here when I was younger so it definitely feels like a second home at Wimbledon.
"And my second country. I have a bit of a British accent – it comes back after a few weeks here.
"I have known Jo for years. I am not going to say we are best friends but we are friendly and she is a very nice girl. We used to practice going back quite a few years. When I started on tour a few years ago, she was there.
"Even now, between tournaments, I train at the NTC and I know all the players and coaches. It is great."
Vekic, 21, was a child prodigy and reached her first WTA final aged just 16, before claiming her first title in 2014 as a 17-year-old. Her progress stalled over the subsequent few years but last month she rediscovered her best form to claim a second career title on the Nottingham grass. Vekic's opponent in the final was Konta, and the Croat is hopeful of repeating her three-set win.
She said: "Before that final, I didn't think I had any chance, but I think that gave me a lot of confidence for the rest of the year and obviously for our next match, which now I actually believe that I can win. I am really excited for it."
A further sub-plot to Wednesday's match will be the possible presence of Vekic's boyfriend, Stan Wawrinka, in the stands. Wawrinka had told reporters on Monday that he would be taking a break from tennis, but he was spotted at Wimbledon on Tuesday and could be on court to support Vekic.
The sixth-seeded Konta, meanwhile, will be buoyed by her comprehensive first-round win against Hsieh Su-wei where she struck the ball beautifully and appeared to be showing no ill-effects from the spinal injury she picked up at Eastbourne last week.

Back in February, Monroe's County Board of County Commissioners learned about a $3.1 billion plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Named the "Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study," it addresses strengthening the Keys' infrastructure including roads, municipal facilities, commercial buildings and residences. The county asked the Corps to brief the cities on the plan for feedback. On June 9, the Marathon City Council expressed alarm at the part of the plan that calls for "mandatory acquisitions," or forced buyouts.
The report to the council included a chart listing 84 buildings for mandatory acquisitions and 1,004 for elevation in Marathon. The addresses have not been provided to the city, although they are a matter of public record.
The problem, council agreed, is with the word "mandatory" and that the $3.1 billion plan is unfunded.
"I don't care for the words 'mandatory' or 'eminent domain,'" said Councilman Dan Zieg. "I am very much opposed to this."
The plan's preliminary $3.1 billion cost will be covered 65% by the federal government. Local governments will cover the remaining 35%.
Councilman John Bartus was skeptical about the likelihood that the federal match dollars for this program would ever "show up down here and I would be flabbergasted if we got every dollar up front."
Councilman Mark Senmartin said he worried about real estate values of the yet unidentified properties.
"They will take a hit," he said.
The Marathon City Council told staff to draft a letter to the county saying that if the word "mandatory" is not excised from the plan, the city would opt out of the program and instead support something called the "locally preferred plan."
Monroe County Commissioner Michelle Coldiron suggested that the county opt to move the mandatory acquisitions into the home elevation portion of the program at the May meeting. However, the BOCC voted to delay until Keys municipalities could weigh in.
In other news:
- The City of Marathon advertised for an in-house attorney and received three complete applications, although others applied with incomplete applications.
- Planning for the Fourth of July festivities at Sombrero Beach are underway, with the understanding that modifications will be necessary if there is an uptick in COVID-19 cases.
- The city council approved a $50,000 purchase of surplus heavy equipment from Monroe County.
- Noe Martinez is the city's new building official. He is a contract employee employed by M.T. Causley. Some council members expressed interest in interviewing him as an in-house building official. "It seems that Noe can get us over the hump with some of the issues we've encountered," said Councilman Luis Gonzalez. "We have plans in the works for getting this position in-house."
- Council approved changes to its Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations to allow for construction heights of up to 43 feet to compensate for elevations in the new FEMA maps.
- Council approved changes to its Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations to allow lots designated as "permanent RVs" to be changed to "transient residential units." The latter are spaces that can be rented weekly or monthly, but cannot be sold as a transient unit, or a hotel building right.
- Bartus drafted a proclamation condemning racism and reaffirming Marathon's commitment to fight for racial justice and human and civil rights for all. It was unanimously approved.

Since Evernote was upgrading with iOS 7, I tried using new features
Apple's new smartphone OS has been upgraded to iOS 7,Many new functions and improvements were madeHowever, the newly reborn iOS 7 and Apple genuine app is not the only one. Multifunction memo application is "EvernoteIt is said that it is evolving conveniently, so I actually tried it around.
A beautiful new Evernote for iOS 7 appeared | Evernote Japanese version blog
◆ Evernote became new
This is the new Evernote top screen. With the flat design of iOS 7, Evernote has also become simple.
The former Evernote is like this,You can see that the layout of the design and the menu has been changed significantly.
At the bottom of the top screen ......
"Quick Note Bar" appears. It is now possible to create notes, photographs, reminders, task management and Todo lists.
"Shortcut" is displayed at the top of the screen and when you tap this ... ...
You can quickly see the notes you like registered like this.
Two favorite notes seen most recently are displayed on the top screen, and it is also possible to access from the top screen immediately.
Looking at the notes look like this.
Of course it is also possible to edit the content of the note, and although it is a small change, the "Completed" icon is displayed in Evernote of iOS 7 version. You can now read the continuation of the note as it is by editing the notes and browsing the notes, tapping "done" after editing.
When you finish editing text with Evernote version earlier than iOS 7 version, it was ok if you tapped the red frame icon, but it was a rather difficult to understand icon, so the appearance of the "done" icon I feel it is a pretty good improvement.
In the top screen "Notes" as well, the first two recently opened notes are displayed.
When I open the note, it looks something like this.
Tap the icon at the bottom of the screen while opening the note ......
You can also share notes with AirDrop.
Tap the image pasted on the note.
Then you can display only the image like this.
Tap the icon at the bottom of the screen ......
Drawing into the image is now possible.
By tapping the lower left icon, you can change the color and size when drawing on the image.
Tap the lower right to display the menu.
Add an arrow in the image with the tap of the arrow icon ......
Cut out the image by tapping the square icon with a dot at the corner.
Mosaic processing is also possible by tapping the red frame icon.
This is a stamp function.
Handwriting tool.
Tap character icon ......
You can also add letters.
Square tools and ellipses, circles, line tools are also ants.
Also, from the quick note bar camera icon ......
Start the camera.
When you swipe your finger to the left, the "POST-IT NOTE" camera is activated. With this, it is possible to incorporate contents written in Post-it into Evernote.
I tried to digitize post-it notes of a new function
So, let's digitize post-it notes in practice. It's a square post-it notes to use.
Write a letter on this.
I shot this with Evernote camera.
Since the iPhone screen looks something like this, tap the icon in the middle of the screen.
Then, post-it is converted to data like this, so tap the icon at the bottom right of the screen.
You can save the contents written in post-it as it is and save it in Evernote.
Other color was able to be properly converted to data.
However, the yellow post-it can not recognize the color well and the back becomes white.
In addition, try trying to convert post-it other than a square shape into data.
This seems to be necessary for posting, which has a shape close to a square for data failure.
Next, I will try to verify the possibility of data conversion even for the "grasshopper" sold by post-it.
"Grassho" on the left and "Post it" on the right. Post-it is slightly more dark color.
When writing letters in glue paste and trying to convert this into data ......
Great success!
Furthermore, I will challenge whether data can be converted even with yellow origami, color and size are completely different from post-it.
I thought that it was impossible but also made the data successful. Like this, Evernote's new function "digitize post-it notes" roughly carries out color discrimination, whatever the shape is square if it is square. It is a function that it seems that you can use it without forcibly purchasing post · it.
Digitized post-it notes can be skipped, tagged, or turned on reminders if you set them in advance. Tap on the user name in the top left of the top screen for those settings.
Tap "Post-it Notes".
It is the post-it of these four colors that you can convert it to data, skip to notes, attach tags, and set reminders. Tap the color ......
Since detailed settings can be made from this screen, for example, "Blue post-it is set to enter a notebook where work related notes are saved for use in work related memos, remember to turn on reminder It is also possible to use it like "to keep it like".

Truth is a double-edged sword — that's what author Susan Gates cautions young readers in this coming-of-age novel about a young girl called Firebird who opens a Pandora's box of family secrets that bring great pain and yet set her free.
Thirteen-year-old Firebird and her twin brother, Ford, have never been to school. In fact, they have never been to the city, or even stepped out of the swamp that they call home. They lead reclusive lives with their father, Trapper, and their grandmother, catching eels for a living and marking time by the changing advertisements on the giant highway-billboard that shields their home from public view.
But these days, the billboard reads: "Live your dreams" and to Firebird, this seems almost like an exhortation to explore life beyond the swamp. Everything she knows of the world outside is in the form of stories from Gran — and it isn't good. The city is a terrible place, she's been told, no place for a girl who takes after her mother as much as Firebird does. All that Firebird knows of her mother, Loreal, is that she grew up loving the swamp and died giving birth to Ford and her. Now, even the thought of leaving the swamp reeks of betrayal.
Not all is well, though, in the wild wetland that has been home to Trapper and his family for generations. The summers are hotter; there are more mosquitoes than ever; and then Ford sees his father emptying the eels they've been catching into the river, instead of taking them down to the smokery. Firebird is making some startling discoveries of her own about where the family income is actually coming from. It becomes evident that Trapper hasn't been playing straight with his children and Gran is complicit in the crime.
While Ford is in denial that the truth has changed things forever, Firebird turns confrontational. Although she discovers a head-on collision with the truth is rarely painless, there are sometimes pleasing revelations to be found alongside uncomfortable ones. Like, for example, who her mother was and, most importantly, who she really is.
There's something strange about people like Trapper who want to hold on to life in a swamp, of all places, but also something oddly familiar about holding on to what we know. All the way to the dramatic build-up at the novel's end, Gates' suspenseful story is a sensitive exploration of the loss of childhood and of how self-discovery begins when you learn to let go.
Note: For teens.
Norse myth was not meant to generate mirth — at least not most of it. But lucky for us, author Bruce Coville stumbled upon the "Thrymskvitha," a poem that pokes fun at the Norse gods, and it inspired him to do so, too, in "Thor's Wedding Day."
This hilarious tale of how Thor, the god of thunder, lost his hammer, Mjollnir, to the giant Thrym and how he got it back is told by Thor's goat-boy, Thialfi. Now this isn't just because Thialfi tells the tale pretty well — being on the sidelines, he's able to observe the whimsical ways of the celestial beings of Asgard — but also because Thialfi has something to do with the disappearance of the hammer in the first place. It's only fair, then, that he join hands with Gat-Tooth and Grinder, his goat-charges, to retrieve it.
It isn't going to be easy for a mere mortal like Thialfi to meddle in the affairs of the gods and set things right. So Thialfi adopts the "It wasn't me" stance so typical of humans, at least at first, and prays that Thor will figure out how to save Asgard from downfall. That isn't going to happen, though, because Thor is as unintelligent as he is strong. And Thrym wants nothing less in exchange for the hammer than Freya, goddess of love, to be his bride. But our loving goddess has a temper to match and refuses to hear anything about becoming the wife to a giant whose beard bears morsels of his last meal.
Then Loki, god of mischief, comes up with an idea: Thor will go to Thrym, disguised as Freya. Before you know it, massive and mighty Thor is dressed in female finery befitting a bride, although the corset takes some real tugging to get around his waist! And while Thor and "bridesmaid" Loke dine with the giants, it is up to Thialfi to find the hammer and get it back to Thor — before he blows his cover.
The result is a hugely funny adventure starring cross-dressing gods, talking goats and a warm sense of humor that you wish Norse mythology had more of. This is also a great introduction to the world of Norse myth — the author doesn't forget to suggest some additional reading in case you get hooked by his account of how Thor got his hammer back.

The optional annual March for Life trip brought 49 EC students to Washington D.C. to join with hundreds of thousands of other high school and college students as well as families and individual who participate annual in the peaceful protest of Roe v. Wade. The trip is anything but comfortable or glamorous with departure late Wednesday evening through the night. Thursday morning the students split into groups by grades and had a few hours to visit some museums. This time concluded with Mass all together at the shrine of Pope John Paul II.
On Thursday evening the group participated in a holy hour for life, led by Regnum Christi members from D.C. We then had a pizza dinner and participated in "Light up the City" street missions with other RC schools and groups. During the mission, students invited people on the streets to visit the church and light a candle. Many of the students said the missions was their favorite part and had some really cool experiences!
Friday morning was early "rise and shine" and then off to the Capitol One Arena for a youth rally and Mass for life with thousands of other Catholics. The apostolic nuncio, representative of the Holy Father, was there and delivered a message from Pope Francis.

"I used to attend the March for Life with my family and stay in a hotel. The past two years I've gone with EC, and it's been harder because we sleep on the bus and a gymnasium floor. I think we need suffering and pain to show that we're fighting for the cause." -Jack
"The March for Life always reminds me of something very personal to me: the gift of adoption. I plan to do the March every year until Roe v. Wade is reversed." -Aubrey
"I loved the street mission we did with Regnum Christi. It was really cool to talk to random people on the street and invite them into the church. I saw a guy we invited crying in the church." -Johnny

Many Manchester City supporters have been urging the Etihad Stadium outfit against entering a bidding war with Paris Saint-Germain for Juventus forward Douglas Costa.
Costa has emerged as a potential summer target for Man City as Juventus are looking to offload the Brazilian in order to raise funds for the signing of Gonzalo Higuain's successor, as per reports by Tuttosport.
Pep Guardiola is said to be wanting a reunion with Costa at the close of the current campaign having worked alongside the 29-year-old for a season at Bayern Munich, in which the Bavarian side lifted the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles.
Any move by Guardiola and City to sign Costa would see the Etihad Stadium outfit rival PSG's pursuit, with the French giants already sounding out their interest in a forward Juve value between €40m and €50million (£36.3m-£45.4m).
Many City supporters do not seem to feel an offer in that region would be money well spent by Guardiola this summer, having flocked to social media to urge their side against a pursuit.
Costa has featured in 21 of Juventus' Serie A fixtures this term, in which he has averaged just 0.6 shots per game, 1.2 key passes, 15.1 accurate passes, 2.0 successful dribbles and 2.5 ground duels won (53%), according to data collected this season by Sofa Score.

Don't go for this foolishness. Retain Augero. Or sign Inter forward https://t.co/F2HXPduKtF
— Dummy (@try_hoax) July 19, 2020
Costa's age, more so than the potential fee in question, has led many City supporters to urge their side against a formal approach, feeling that he is too old and that the Sky Blues need to prioritise their search on younger players.
City have had one of the highest average ages per squad in the Premier League this season at 26.7, with only Sheffield United (26.9), West Ham (27.4), Burnley (28.1), Watford (28.4) and Crystal Palace (29.0) coming in higher.
The youngest average age of one of Guardiola's squads in the top-flight this term was 25.5, which the Spanish tactician named in July's 4-0 trouncing of title-winners Liverpool, who on average have named a squad with an age of 26.6.
Manchester United have boasted the youngest average age at 24.7, ahead of Arsenal (25.1), AFC Bournemouth (25.1) and Chelsea (25.2).
29?! No thanks we need youth.
— MikethaManc (@MikethaManc) July 19, 2020
Costa is ancient, we need younger players
— Thabile 🇿🇦 (@Thabile08731470) July 19, 2020
Not all Man City supporters would be against signing Costa, however, with some in favour of a move for the Brazilian who has scored three goals and assisted a further seven over 27 outings in all competitions during what has been a season plagued by injuries.
We need to get him and Bale I think its time now he comes back to EPL bale can do us good

Why a more diverse workplace is also a more talented one
Ram Charan has spent his working life as a business mentor and consultant to CEOs of global companies. He's the guy that Coca-Cola, KLM, GE, and Bank of America (just to name a few) call when they need help. And he's a firm believer in a diverse workplace. If a 90-year-old can do the job the best, then why not hire them? Raw talent doesn't just exist in ivy league business schools, he says, and that applies to the whole company... from the work floor to the boardroom. Ram's latest book is Talent Wins: The New Playbook for Putting People First , and he is brought to you today by Amway. Amway believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to the growth and prosperity of today's companies. When woven into every aspect of the talent life cycle, companies committed to diversity and inclusion are the best equipped to innovate, improve brand image and drive performance.
Would companies be more diverse if A.I. did the hiring?
The best hiring manager might just be the computer sitting on your desk. AI and ethics expert Joanna Bryson posits that artificial intelligence can go through all the resumes in a stack and find what employers are missing. Most humans, on the other hand, will rely on biases — whether they are aware of them or not — to get them through the selection process. This is sadly why those with European-sounding names get more calls for interviews than others. AI, she says, can change that. Joanna is brought to you today by Amway. Amway believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to the growth and prosperity of today's companies.

How equal parental leave can help close the gender pay gap
It's no small secret that America is far behind the rest of the world when it comes to maternal leave. But studies are finding that paternal leave shouldn't be overlooked, either. Lauren Smith Brody, former editor of Glamor magazine and now a full-time author and founder of The Fifth Trimester movement, makes the case here that dads need time off, too, to bond with their newborns, and that modern companies need to understand and appreciate that. Lauren's latest book is The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom's Guide to Style, Sanity, and Success After Baby. This video is brought to you by Amway.

Real talk at work: How Amway created a better office for more people
Most people approach talking about difficult subjects as if they were at a debate. That is, arriving at the table (metaphorically speaking) with preconceived notions and ideas. But Amway's VP of Global Litigation and Corporate Law, Claire Groen, knew there had to be a better way. She and the leaders at Amway devised what they call RealTalk, which brings people together to hold conversations on current topics. And when the topics happened to turn into hot-button issues like immigration, the racism at Charlottesville, and so forth, these talks became an incredible conduit to a more inclusive office. People were heard, and in turn listened more to ideas outside of their comfort zone. This resulted in a better and more inclusive culture at Amway.

Breaking the ice: How astronauts overcome their differences aboard the ISS
Look up—you can see the greatest feat of human cooperation orbiting 254 miles above Earth. As commander of Expedition 35 aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield understands the difficulty of cultural barriers in team work, and the life or death necessity of learning to communicate across those divides. The ISS is a joint project between five space agencies, built by people from 15 different nations—and each of them has a different take on what is "normal". Hadfield explains the scale of cultural differences aboard the spaceship: "What do you do on a Friday night? What does "yes" mean? What does "uh-huh" mean? What is the day of worship? When do you celebrate a holiday? How do you treat your spouse or your children? How do you treat each other? What is the hierarchy of command? All of those things seem completely clear to you, but you were raised in a specific culture that is actually shared by no one else." Here, Hadfield explains his strategy for genuine listening and communication. Whether it's money, reputation, or your life that's at stake, being sensitive and aware of people's differences helps you accomplish something together—no matter where you're from. Amway believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to the growth and prosperity of today's companies. When woven into every aspect of the talent life cycle, companies committed to diversity and inclusion are the best equipped to innovate, improve brand image and drive performance.

How experiencing discrimination in VR can make you less biased
What would it be like to live in the body of someone else? Since the dawn of mankind, people have imagined what it would be like to inhabit another body, just for a day or even for a few minutes. Thanks to the magic of VR, we can now do that. Jeremy Bailenson, the creator of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab, has designed a VR experience called 1000 Cut Journey that may change the way people see race: by experiencing it firsthand. Jeremy explains to us, "You start out as an elementary school child and you're in a classroom. You then become a teenager and you're interacting with police officers. You then become an adult who's going on a job interview, and what you experience while wearing the body of a black male is implicit bias that happens repeatedly and over time." Jeremy is brought to you today by Amway. Amway believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to the growth and prosperity of today's companies.

Neurodiversity: Many mental 'deficits' are really hidden strengths
Color-blindness. Left-handedness. Dyslexia. Autism. These are all different ways in which the brain is rewired differently than the norm. But Heather Heying, evolutionary biologist and former Professor at Evergreen State College, is saying that these so-called differences are really strengths. For example, she relays us a story about her autistic students being far more adept at spotting social dynamics emerging in the classroom, long before non-autistic students. And left-handed people are often way more creative than their righty counterparts. Evolution might suggest that we need these differences to be stronger as a whole.

- One on hand, the most common health condition among Olympic athletes is asthma. On the other, asthmatic athletes regularly outperform their non-asthmatic counterparts.
- A new study assesses the performance-enhancement effects of asthma medication for non-asthmatics.
- The analysis looks at the effects of both allowed and banned asthma medications.
The most common chronic disease among athletes competing in the Olympic Games is asthma. It's not a coincidence — asthma is a risk associated with activities that require increased ventilation, such as high-performance athletics. One treatment for the condition is the inhalation of β-agonists prior to exercise as a means of warding off asthma symptoms. The drugs relax the airways that provide oxygen to the lungs.
But β-agonists pose a problem for World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) officials — drugs have been tied to performance enhancement. In fact, asthmatic athletes, who have a sound medical reason to use β-agonists, have consistently outperformed non-asthmatic athletes at the Games. There has been unconfirmed speculation that athletes who don't have asthma may also be taking β-agonists in hopes of gaining their own performance boost.
A new study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine seeks to be the most comprehensive look yet at the effect of β-agonists on athletic performance, looking at a broad selection of β-agonist drugs, including medications both allowed and banned by the WADA.
WADA uncertainty

When inhaled β-agonists first came out just before the 1972 Olympics, they were immediately banned altogether by the WADA as possible doping substances. Over the years, the WADA has reexamined their use and refined the organization's stance, evidence of the thorniness of finding an equitable position regarding their use. As of January 2020, only three β-agonists are allowed — salbutamol, formoterol, and salmeterol —and only in inhaled form. Oral consumption appears to have a greater effect on performance.
The study
Image source: MinDof/Shutterstock
Of primary interest to the authors of the study is confirming and measuring the performance improvement to be gained from β-agonists when they're ingested by athletes who don't have asthma.
The researchers performed a meta-analysis of 34 existing studies documenting 44 randomized trials reporting on 472 participants. The pool of individuals included was broad, encompassing both untrained and elite athletes. In addition, lab tests, as opposed to actual competitions, tracked performance. The authors of the study therefore recommend taking its conclusions with just a grain of salt.
The effects of both WADA-banned and approved β-agonists were assessed.
Approved β-agonists and non-asthmatic athletes

What the meta-analysis showed is that the currently approved β-agonists didn't significantly improve athletic performance among those without asthma — what very slight benefit they may produce is just enough to prompt the study's authors to write that "it is still uncertain whether approved doses improve anaerobic performance." They note that the tiny effect did increase slightly over multiple weeks of β-agonist intake.
Banned β-agonist and non-asthmatic athletes
Image source: Nejron Photo/Shutterstock
The study found that for athletes without asthma, however, the use of currently banned β-agonists did indeed result in enhanced performance. The authors write, "Our meta-analysis shows that β2-agonists improve anaerobic performance by 5%, an improvement that would change the outcome of most athletic competitions."
That 5 percent is an average: 70-meter sprint performance was improved by 3 percent, while strength performance, MVC (maximal voluntary contraction), was improved by 6 percent.
The analysis also revealed that different results were produced by different methods of ingestion. The percentages cited above were seen when a β-agonist was ingested orally. The effect was less pronounced when the banned substances were inhaled.
Given the difference between the results for allowed and banned β-agonists, the study's conclusions suggest that the WADA has it about right, at least in terms of selection of allowable β-agonists, as well as the allowable dosage method.
The study, say its authors, "should be of interest to WADA and anyone who is interested in equal opportunities in competitive sports." Its results clearly support vigilance, with the report concluding: "The use of β2-agonists in athletes should be regulated and limited to those with an asthma diagnosis documented with objective tests."
- A Japanese scientist shows that some beetles can wiggle out of frog's butts after being eaten whole.
- The research suggests the beetle can get out in as little as 7 minutes.
- Most of the beetles swallowed in the experiment survived with no complications after being excreted.
In what is perhaps one of the weirdest experiments ever that comes from the category of "why did anyone need to know this?" scientists have proven that the Regimbartia attenuata beetle can climb out of a frog's butt after being eaten.
The research was carried out by Kobe University ecologist Shinji Sugiura. His team found that the majority of beetles swallowed by black-spotted pond frogs (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) used in their experiment managed to escape about 6 hours after and were perfectly fine.
"Here, I report active escape of the aquatic beetle R. attenuata from the vents of five frog species via the digestive tract," writes Sugiura in a new paper, adding "although adult beetles were easily eaten by frogs, 90 percent of swallowed beetles were excreted within six hours after being eaten and, surprisingly, were still alive."
One bug even got out in as little as 7 minutes.
Sugiura also tried putting wax on the legs of some of the beetles, preventing them from moving. These ones were not able to make it out alive, taking from 38 to 150 hours to be digested.
Naturally, as anyone would upon encountering such a story, you're wondering where's the video. Thankfully, the scientists recorded the proceedings:
The Regimbartia attenuata beetle can be found in the tropics, especially as pests in fish hatcheries. It's not the only kind of creature that can survive being swallowed. A recent study showed that snake eels are able to burrow out of the stomachs of fish using their sharp tails, only to become stuck, die, and be mummified in the gut cavity. Scientists are calling the beetle's ability the first documented "active prey escape." Usually, such travelers through the digestive tract have particular adaptations that make it possible for them to withstand extreme pH and lack of oxygen. The researchers think the beetle's trick is in inducing the frog to open a so-called "vent" controlled by the sphincter muscle.
"Individuals were always excreted head first from the frog vent, suggesting that R. attenuata stimulates the hind gut, urging the frog to defecate," explains Sugiura.

- True crime podcasts can get as many as 500,000 downloads per month. In the Top 100 Podcasts of 2020 list for Apple, several true crime podcasts ranked within the Top 20.
- Our fascination with true crime isn't just limited to podcasts, with Netflix documentaries like "Confessions of a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes" scoring high popularity with viewers.
- Several experts weigh in on our fascination with these stories with theories including fear-based adrenaline rushes and the inherent need to understand the human mind.
From Netflix documentaries about notorious serial killers to dramatized TV shows with murders who have a certain charismatic appeal, many of us have some kind of fascination with true crime stories. Even beyond television, true crime books and podcasts are extremely popular. In fact, the "Wine and Crime" podcast gets around 500,000 downloads per month, with around 85 percent of those people being female.
In the "Top 100 Podcasts" list for Apple US, we see "Crime Junkie" in at number 3, "My Favorite Murder" in at number 6, and "Morbid: A True Crime Podcast" at number 15.
Why do we love true crime stories?
Why are we fascinated with true crime stories?
Several experts and psychologists weigh in on why we could be so fascinated by violence, destruction and true crime stories...

Several experts have weighed in on this topic over the years, as the spike in popularity of true crime media has continued at an astonishing rate.
Psychopaths are charismatic.
One of the defining qualities of a psychopath is that they have "superficial charm and glibness", which could explain part of our fascination with podcasts, TV shows, and movies that cover the lives of famous serial killers like Ted Bundy.
Our psychology demands we pay attention to things that could harm us.
Psychology can play a large role in why we like what we like, and our fascination with true crime stories is no exception. When it comes to potential threats or things that could be threatening to humanity, perhaps we've been conditioned to pay those things extra attention.
According to Dr. John Mayer, a clinical psychologist at Doctor on Demand who spoke about the process in an interview with NBC News, seeing destruction, disaster, or tragedy actually triggers survival instincts in us.
"A disaster enters into our awareness - this can be from a live source such as driving by a traffic accident or from watching a news report about a hurricane, a plane crash or any disaster," Mayer said. "This data from our perceptual system then stimulates the amygdala (the part of the brain responsible for emotions, survival tactics and memory). The amygdala then sends signals to the regions of the frontal cortex that are involved in analyzing and interpreting data. Next, the brain evaluates whether this data (awareness of the disaster) is a threat to you, thus judgment gets involved. As a result, the 'fight or flight' response is evoked."
Could it just be morbid curiosity?
Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Ph.D., a professor at De Sales University, explained in an interview with Bustle:
"Part of our love of true crime is based on something very natural: curiosity. People reading or watching a true crime story are engaged on several levels. They are curious about who would do this, they want to know the psychology of the bad guy, girl, or team. They want to know something about the abhorrent mind. They also love the puzzle - figuring out how it was done."
Perhaps it's a way of facing our fears and planning our own reactions without risking immediate harm.
In an interview with NBC News, psychiatrist Dr. David Henderson suggested that we may be fascinated with violence, destruction, or crime as a way of assessing how we would handle ourselves if put into that situation:
"Witnessing violence and destruction, whether it is in a novel, a movie, on TV or a real life scene playing out in front of us in real time, gives us the opportunity to confront our fears of death, pain, despair, degradation and annihilation while still feeling some level of safety. This sensation is sometimes experienced when we stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon or look through the glass at a ferocious lion at the zoo. We watch because we are allowed to ask ourselves ultimate questions with an intensity of emotion that is uncoupled from the true reality of the disaster: 'If I was in that situation, what would I do? How would I respond? Would I be the hero or the villain? Could I endure the pain? Would I have the strength to recover?' We play out the different scenarios in our head because it helps us to reconcile that which is uncontrollable with our need to remain in control."
Psychologically, negative events activate our brains more than positive events.
A 2008 study published by the American Psychological Association found that humans react to and learn more from negative experiences than we do positive ones. The term "negative bias" is the tendency to automatically give more attention (and meaning) to negative events and information more than positive events or information.
A forced perspective may trigger empathy and act as a coping mechanism.
Viewing destruction (or listening to/watching true crime stories) could be beneficial. According to Dr. Mayer, "the healthy mechanism of watching disasters is that it is a coping mechanism. We can become incubated emotionally by watching disasters and this helps us cope with hardships in our lives…" Dr. Stephen Rosenburg points out, however, that this empathetic response can also have a negative impact. "Being human and having empathy can make us feel worried or depressed."
Dr. Rosenberg goes on to explain that this can also impact the negativity bias. "We tend to think negatively to protect ourselves from the reality. If it turns out better, we're relieved. If it turns out worse, we're prepared."
Perhaps the adrenaline of fear that comes from listening to or watching true crime can become addicting.
Similarly to how people get a "runners high" from exercise or feel depressed when they have missed a scheduled run, the adrenaline that pumps during our consumption of true crime stories can become addictive. According to sociology and criminology professor Scott Bonn, in an interview with Psychology Today: "The public is drawn to these stories because they trigger the most basic and powerful emotion in us all: fear."
- Churches and ministries received up to $10 billion in federal assistance during the first round of stimulus.
- The Catholic Church exploited a loophole to be considered a "small business" and received up to $3.5 billion in forgivable loans.
- With stimulus measures ending last week, up to 40 million Americans are in danger of losing their homes.
Last Friday, the weekly $600 federal stimulus boost ran out, impacting over 30 million Americans that are currently collecting unemployment. While a new round of stimulus is being debated, as many as 40 million Americans could lose their homes if no protections are put in place. Despite noise about "tense negotiations," the government isn't acting with the urgency necessary to protect citizens.
Not that the first round of stimulus went exceptionally well. The U.S. Treasury sent over one million checks, totaling $1.4 billion, to dead people. At least 43 companies with over 500 workers received assistance under the Paycheck Protection Act, which is above the requirement threshold. This included a number of chain businesses, some of which returned the money.
In one of the most surprising revelations, religious groups received up to $10 billion in relief, including the U.S. Catholic Church, which reportedly received as much as $3.5 billion in forgivable loans under the CARES Act. That stimulus money makes the organization, with over a billion followers and up to $30 billion in wealth, one of the biggest winners in the stimulus program.
The Archdiocese of New York was awarded at least $28 million for its top executive offices. Orange County churches received four loans worth at least $3 million. Another $2 million went to a West Virginia diocese that was under investigation just last year for sexual abuse charges.
It appears that having friends in high places helped out.
"Lobbied by religious leaders, the Trump administration went one step further by granting all faith groups a special waiver to the 500-employee cap. For the Catholic Church, that meant instead of all churches, schools, and other organizations in a diocese grouping their employees into a single total — making many ineligible due to their size — each could apply as an independent, 'small' entity."

Catholic institutions in America employ over one million people, over 200,000 more workers than on Amazon's payroll. Quite a small business.
The Catholic Church wasn't the only non-taxpaying entity to receive a boon. A campus ministry subsidiary of the Presbyterian Church of America received between $5-$10 million. Another $5 million went to Willow Creek Community Church, a megachurch whose longtime pastor was accused of sexual misconduct in 2018.
The First Baptist Church of Dallas received up to $5 million. The church's leader, Robert Jeffress, believes abortion caused 9/11, gay sex can make you explode, and pedophilia and homosexuality are inherently related. Jeffress also sits on Trump's evangelical advisory board.
Churches and ministries receiving at least $2 million include ministry group, Jews for Jesus (total assets: $39,596,245); evangelical book and music publisher, David C Cook (total assets: $87,871,425); Mariners Church, an Irvine-based megachurch (total assets: $107,026,283); The Summit Church, a North Carolina-based Southern Baptist church (total assets: $60,694,442); and Orlando-based Ligonier Ministries (total assets: $46,203,410).
Another 400 ministries received at least $1 million in forgivable loans under the CARES Act.
To reiterate, up to 40 million Americans may lose their home this year.
While churches already save $71 billion in tax relief every year, both Republican and Democratic proposals allow religious organizations to participate in the next round of stimulus funding.

- A powerful MRI combined with modeling software results in a totally new view of the human cerebellum.
- The so-called 'little brain' is nearly 80% the size of the cerebral cortex when it's unfolded.
- This part of the brain is associated with a lot of things, and a new virtual map is suitably chaotic and complex.
Just under our brain's cortex and close to our brain stem sits the cerebellum, also known as the "little brain." It's an organ many animals have, and we're still learning what it does in humans. It's long been thought to be involved in sensory input and motor control, but recent studies suggests it also plays a role in a lot of other things, including emotion, thought, and pain. After all, about half of the brain's neurons reside there. But it's so small. Except it's not, according to a new study from San Diego State University (SDSU) published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).
A neural crêpe
A new imaging study led by psychology professor and cognitive neuroscientist Martin Sereno of the SDSU MRI Imaging Center reveals that the cerebellum is actually an intricately folded organ that has a surface area equal in size to 78 percent of the cerebral cortex. Sereno, a pioneer in MRI brain imaging, collaborated with other experts from the U.K., Canada, and the Netherlands.
So what does it look like? Unfolded, the cerebellum is reminiscent of a crêpe, according to Sereno, about four inches wide and three feet long.
The team didn't physically unfold a cerebellum in their research. Instead, they worked with brain scans from a 9.4 Tesla MRI machine, and virtually unfolded and mapped the organ. Custom software was developed for the project, based on the open-source FreeSurfer app developed by Sereno and others. Their model allowed the scientists to unpack the virtual cerebellum down to each individual fold, or "folia."
Study's cross-sections of a folded cerebellum
Image source: Sereno, et al.
A complicated map
Sereno tells SDSU NewsCenter that "Until now we only had crude models of what it looked like. We now have a complete map or surface representation of the cerebellum, much like cities, counties, and states."
That map is a bit surprising, too, in that regions associated with different functions are scattered across the organ in peculiar ways, unlike the cortex where it's all pretty orderly. "You get a little chunk of the lip, next to a chunk of the shoulder or face, like jumbled puzzle pieces," says Sereno. This may have to do with the fact that when the cerebellum is folded, its elements line up differently than they do when the organ is unfolded.
It seems the folded structure of the cerebellum is a configuration that facilitates access to information coming from places all over the body. Sereno says, "Now that we have the first high resolution base map of the human cerebellum, there are many possibilities for researchers to start filling in what is certain to be a complex quilt of inputs, from many different parts of the cerebral cortex in more detail than ever before."
This makes sense if the cerebellum is involved in highly complex, advanced cognitive functions, such as handling language or performing abstract reasoning as scientists suspect. "When you think of the cognition required to write a scientific paper or explain a concept," says Sereno, "you have to pull in information from many different sources. And that's just how the cerebellum is set up."
Bigger and bigger
The study also suggests that the large size of their virtual human cerebellum is likely to be related to the sheer number of tasks with which the organ is involved in the complex human brain. The macaque cerebellum that the team analyzed, for example, amounts to just 30 percent the size of the animal's cortex.
"The fact that [the cerebellum] has such a large surface area speaks to the evolution of distinctively human behaviors and cognition," says Sereno. "It has expanded so much that the folding patterns are very complex."
As the study says, "Rather than coordinating sensory signals to execute expert physical movements, parts of the cerebellum may have been extended in humans to help coordinate fictive 'conceptual movements,' such as rapidly mentally rearranging a movement plan — or, in the fullness of time, perhaps even a mathematical equation."
Sereno concludes, "The 'little brain' is quite the jack of all trades. Mapping the cerebellum will be an interesting new frontier for the next decade."

text: Managing risk is an essential part of medical practice, particularly in light of the reported increase in morbidity and mortality associated with the use of opioids. Recent anecdotal data indicate that as a result of the "opioid crisis," patients are being told by their prescribers that they can no longer manage pain with opioids and must therefore find another healthcare provider. Consequently, healthcare professionals are now faced with the increased likelihood of inheriting patients. The moderated panel will discuss the many clinical, legal, and ethical challenges that are associated with terminating/discharging patients, inheriting a patient, and managing risk.

For anyone else - Just signed up to the 'Ends Thursday (02 July 2020)' VM deal - £100 automatic credit only via the MSE link and completed the order, but no sign of the automatic £100 reading online. Pretty confusing. You only get conformation of this in the email sent as the last item on 'Your order'
Total Payments
geomcdonagh Forumite1 postsI signed up for this and got the email as above with the one off £100 credit. When I did not see this applied to my first bill I called to ask why and went round the houses with one adviser saying I was not entitled as my order was marked as retail. I continued to complain strongly and was eventually connected to their customer relations department but by this time my battery on my phone ran out. Called back later and took the "Thinking of Leaving" option and got through this time to someone in UK. He said I should forward the email to his manager as they had no record of this Credit. Sent it to email address he gave me and got a response that he will ensure the credit is applied within the next 72 hours. That was on 17th June and still waiting for confirmation.0

Caring for people with arthritis.
Arthritis is the name given to more than 120 musculoskeletal diseases.
These diseases can have a debilitating effect on the individual. They cause chronic pain and weaken and degrade joint function so that it becomes impossible to complete activities of daily living without assistance.
Each type of arthritis acts on the body in a different way, and no two people's experience of arthritis will be the same.
Dr Mona Marabani is a practicing rheumatologist and the president of Arthritis Australia. On the Aged Care Channel's upcoming Caring for a Person with Arthritis program, she discusses the most common kinds of arthritis.
"Osteoarthritis is the most common kind. At the age of 80 you've got a 50/50 chance of getting symptomatic osteoarthritis," she says.
"Inflammatory arthritis is a very general condition. It can not only affect the joints but also other parts of the body. When your immune system doesn't do what it is supposed to, it can cause problems with not only the joints but with the lungs, the heart and many other tissues."
Gout is a common and painful condition, often affecting the joints of men between the ages of 40 and 45, or older people taking diuretics, says Jacqui Louth from Arthritis NSW, who also appears on the program.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis and the most common autoimmune disease. It affects close to 2.5 per cent of Australians and the instance is much higher in women, says Jacqui.
"Perhaps arthritis is taken less seriously in the older population by the elderly themselves. And on the other hand some health professionals may also forget it's very important for people to have pain relief," says Mona.
With a chronic disease like arthritis, the disease state can fluctuate, sometimes from day to day, affecting a person's capabilities and their mood.
SUB: Assessment
"People who have arthritis need to be frequently assessed," says Jacqui. "This information can then be used to determine if a person's disease state has altered, in which case their plan of care should be updated. This assessment should require a person to complete a daily activity, a cognitive and a communication test.
"Their nutrition and hydration levels should be monitored, as well as their mobility and experience of pain, and whether they are able to self-administer some of their medications," she says.
Informal assessment can be done every day, if the care team works together to make sure that the person is getting the best possible quality of care.
"So be alert to verbal and non-verbal cues for pain," says Jacqui. "Does a person in your care seem tired – have their sleeping patterns changed? Are they sleeping more, or less? Has their general mood changed – have they become withdrawn? Are they less mobile?"
Each assessment should involve a case conference between the case manager, and members of the multidisciplinary team, including a physiotherapist, diversional and occupational therapists and a GP.
SUB: Distractions
Pain makes muscles tense. Tension can then increase as the individual focuses on the pain they are feeling. Being diverted from pain and negative thoughts relating to pain can provide a person with much needed perspective, and help to break this negative cycle, says Jacqui.
"Comfort is a state of ease and satisfaction of bodily wants, with freedom from pain and anxiety. Each individual in your care should have a plan that provides access to pain relief, exercise, relaxation, restful sleep and entertainment, so that they achieve maximum comfort," she says.
SUB: Pain relief and drugs
Analgesics are pain relieving drugs they have no action other than to reduce pain. They're often used alone in osteoarthritis, whereas in inflammatory types of arthritis analgesics are used in combination with the other treatments.
"NSAIDS, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are probably the most common drugs for most types of arthritis. They help reduce the symptoms but they don't change the disease process," explains Mona. Examples are Nurofen, Voltaren and even Aspirin.
NSAIDS should be taken with food to help prevent any gastrointestinal upsets.
Cox-2 inhibitors are the second generation of non-steroidal drugs, designed to have a more specific effect on the inflammation pathways and be safer on the stomach. Examples are Celebrex and Mobic.
"But these drugs do come with their own set of risks. For people who have problems with their blood pressure, kidneys or heart, the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure may be increased in a small number of people," warns Jacqui.
Disease modifying drugs are used for rheumatoid arthritis and possible connective tissue diseases like lupus. These may be given by intravenous infusion, or injections.
Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, known as DMARDS, can help to reduce the damage to joints by suppressing the immune system.
Corticosteroids, drugs like cortisone, prednisone, are a group of very powerful drugs that switch off inflammation. They also have very significant side effects if they are used in large doses for a long time.
The most common drugs for gout are in the allopurinol group. These drugs affect the way that your body handles uric acid and prevents attacks from occurring.
SUB: Complimentary therapies
Complimentary therapies for arthritis are starting to come into the mainstream. There is research that suggests glucosamine can be helpful in people with osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is one of the building blocks of cartilage and there are some studies which indicate that knee osteoarthritis can be treated effectively with doses of glucosamine, around 1500 milligrams a day, says Mona.
Fish oil is also known to reduce inflammation and some studies suggest it is helpful in rheumatoid arthritis. You need a lot of fish oil to get an anti-inflammatory effect, about 2.7 grams of omega three fats a day and about 8 standard caps of fish oil.
Heat can also help to relieve the pain of arthritis. A heat pack may be good for people who have osteoarthritis to alleviate soreness and stiffness. Wrap it in a towel or cloth to prevent skin burns, and place it on the painful area for 15 minutes. Skin temperature should be normal before re-applying a heat pack to prevent tissue damage.
Massaging the muscles surrounding the joints can also be very soothing and decrease tension.
Capsaicin, the substance that makes chili peppers so hot, has been found to reduce the pain of arthritis for some people, when repeatedly applied topically as a cream. There is a wide range of these creams available on the market, and an individual should consult with their GP before selecting and trialing one.
Keeping active is important for people with arthritis, even on their bad days they need to keep those joints gently moving, says Jacqui.

DICHOTOMY (Gr. oixa, apart, TEµvecv, to cut), literally a cutting asunder, the technical term for a form of logical division, consisting in the separation of a genus into two species, one of which has and the other has not, a certain quality or attribute. Thus men may be thus divided into white men, and men who are not white; each of these may be subdivided similarly. On the principle of contradiction this division is both exhaustive and exclusive; there can be no overlapping, and no members of the original genus or the lower groups are omitted. This method of classification, though formally accurate, has slight value in the exact sciences, partly because at every step one of the two groups is merely negatively characterized and therefore incapable of real subdivision; it is useful, however, in setting forth clearly the gradual descent from the most inclusive genus (summum genus) through species to the lowest class (infima species), which is divisible only into individual persons or things. (See further Division.) In astronomy the term is used for the aspect of the moon or of a planet when apparently half illuminated, so that its disk has the form of a semicircle.

Noxerior s.r.l.
Our roots go back to the early seventies of last century, when the preceding company initiated with the sale of welding wires as main activity. During the first half of the eighties this company started to import PSA oxygen generators from the US for welding applications. Soon afterwards it was decided to develop and manufacture own PSA oxygen generators in order to meet the regulations valid for the European market. In 1990 the production of PSA nitrogen generators was initiated as well. Our large heavy-duty twin-tower PSA oxygen generator range stands for a reliable and efficient oxygen supply. The application range for our products varies from nitrogen for food & beverage industry to high quality medical oxygen for intensive care application in hospitals. Currently we are not only active in our traditional markets for standard nitrogen and oxygen generators for industrial and healthcare applications in almost all corners of the world.

UK Volume 20
greenflag.com superbrands.uk.com Green Flag Superbrands UK Annual Vol.20 As the world of motoring changes with the rapid development of vehicle technology and ownership preference, Green Flag continues to innovate its products and challenge the industry norm through its challenger brand approach. Promotion Thinking differently has always been Green Flag's approach since its beginning in 1971, built on the ambition to revolutionise the breakdown market. In 1994, it became the first ever brand to sponsor the England football team, a partnership that ran until the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Being bold and challenging, whilst showing a smarter way of doing things, carried through to the brand review in 2017. Strengthening Green Flag's position in the market and the 'Common Sense to the Rescue' concept aimed to boldly contrast the shortcomings and inefficiencies that the brand had pinpointed within the AA and RAC offerings. A fresh TV campaign connected with drivers across the UK, demonstrating that Green Flag is a smart, credible alternative and 50% cheaper at renewal. 'Common Sense' being shorthand for a smarter approach to the category, a service that is more agile and adaptable to current and future breakdown needs. 'To the Rescue' has two meanings: it represents the quality of service as well as the customers' position, namely rescuing them from the inefficiencies and shortcomings of the competition. The reinvigoration of the brand was brought to life through TV, radio, OOH and digital channels. In March 2018, to cement Green Flag's status as a market challenger and innovative thinker, that isn't afraid to be disruptive, Mud & Motors – the world's first common sense obstacle course for cars – was launched. Alongside TV star Chris Hughes, drivers competed in a muddy course using their common sense, with the reward being a cash prize. The campaign went on to win Best Automotive campaign in the 2018 PRCA Awards. Brand Values Built on 'Common Sense to the Rescue', everything Green Flag does is aimed at providing an efficient service to meet its customers' needs. Its innovative model enables customers to take ownership of their mobility and gets them back on the road as soon as possible, in a smart and connected way. Green Flag is passionate about providing an alternative to automatically renewing car breakdown membership with other companies. With over 45 years' experience , Green Flag provides breakdown cover 24 hours a day , 365 days a year . It has revolutionised the breakdown market by utilising a network of service providers throughout the country 8Lis innovative and eJfiGient Qodel provides a high-quality service and better value for customers Market Green Flag is the UK's third largest breakdown brand in a market dominated by only three key players. Together, the RAC, AA and Green Flag accounted for an estimated 84% of breakdown membership in 2018, with Mintel valuing the market at £1.78bn in 2018 (Source: Vehicle Recovery UK, September 2018). In a typically inert market, 67% of people automatically renew their AA or RAC cover each year (Source: Vehicle Recovery UK, September 2018) with membership either being bought directly by the consumer (39%) or indirectly through an intermediary (61%). The market has seen steady growth in recent years but is increasingly under pressure from smaller players. Whilst the AA and RAC use a traditional fleet of branded vans, Green Flag operates differently, working with a flexible, nationwide network of local garages, providing a high-quality service at significantly lower prices. Product Green Flag is a disruptor in the market. Its purpose is to rescue customers and develop mobility solutions that meet their needs in a smart and innovative way. Its point of differentiation is based on the revolutionary idea of partnering with a smart network of specialist local mechanics and garages up and down the country and in Europe, rather than relying on a fleet of owned vans. This allows Green Flag to provide a more agile and adaptable service. Green Flag believes that by not operating a fleet of owned vans also creates an efficient business model, eliminating costs, and allowing savings to be passed on to customers. In fact, Green Flag beats AA or RAC renewal quotes by 50% (for vehicles 10 years and under on its closest equivalent UK vehicle cover). By not deploying a one size fits all model, Green Flag's network is flexible and adaptable. It also means that vans are not kept on the road when they aren't needed and Green Flag can partner with whoever is best placed to give the customer what they need to get moving again. This can include the provision of hire cars and taxi services. Achievements Customer satisfaction is key to Green Flag's success – 89% of Green Flag's customers rated the technicians 8/10 or above between Nov 17 and Nov 18 – and its Recovery Plus product has received a five star Defaqto rating. Furthermore, Green Flag ranks highly in a range of UK Customer Satisfaction surveys, results that are supported by its strong Reevoo scores. Green Flag has also won Best Direct Breakdown Insurance Provider at the Your Money Awards in 2018 and has a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +64. Recent Developments The beginning of a new era for Green Flag was marked in 2017 with new leadership. Green Flag's transformation began and the 'Common Sense to the Rescue' concept was created. This reaffirmed a commitment by Green Flag's leadership team to continue to develop its service and product, rescuing customers in a 'Smart, Connected' way. Alongside building the brand, investment began in core systems and processes to create enhanced control of customers' journeys, enabling Green Flag to build on its growing NPS performance. Green Flag also developed the first Rescue Telematics product, Green Flag Alert Me, which connects the customer's car to the Green Flag app and notifies the customer of impending Battery Failure and Engine Management System faults. The Green Flag app has become a vitally innovative part of the rescue experience as consumer behaviour changes. Through the app, customers can also register a call for help and track their technician. This helps Green Flag keep connected to broken down drivers and ensures that the customer is kept informed and in control. Nationwide, 1,900 rescues a day are attended to by Green Flag DIDYOU KNOW? Brand History 1971 Green Flag is established under the name National Breakdown Recovery Club (NBRC). 1984 NBRC is acquired by National Car Parks (NCP). 1994 The company is renamed Green Flag and begins sponsoring the England football team. 1999 Green Flag becomes part of RBS Group, which is then acquired by Direct Line. 2008 Green Flag branded vans launch across the network. 2014 Green Flag sponsors Premiership Rugby. 2015 Green Flag begins sponsoring ITV National Weather. 2017 Green Flag is named as Your Money, Best Online Breakdown Insurance Provider. 2017 Green Flag reboots its brand and marketing strategy. 2018 The company launches a new smart network of service providers and wins Best Automotive campaign at the PRCA Awards. 2019 The brand celebrates its 25th anniversary as 'Green Flag'.
