As leaders, we are defined by our capacity to create the conditions that enable the group to perform at its best, and there is no better measure than building a culture and a common good so compelling that individuals know, accept and play their roles in a team and all of its expectations.I sometimes wonder about the application of this high-performance mindset beyond the sporting field. Its importance however was emphasised in my conversation with Dame Alison Rose DBE, our guest on episode #007 of ‘In the Arena'.Dame Alison Rose DBE was formerly the NatWest Group's CEO and the first woman appointed to this role. With operating revenue of £6 billion, assets of £693 billion, 61,500 employees and 19 million customers, she led in one of the highest stakes environments in business.“It can be a very individualistic kind of culture if you're not careful. And so, for me, it was always about bringing the right team with the right culture on a common mission”, says Alison.“I used to cox rowing teams. You'd have eight highly competitive individuals in a boat. And if you got them all moving in the same way, this boat would sing, and it would fly. It was amazing. And you could tell the difference between when it was working and when it wasn't. But each of those individual people had to be motivated in a different way. And that's true of corporate teams.”“It was the thesis I had on the multiple teams I've built throughout my career. Always hire people better than you. A sign of a weak leader is when you push talent down. So, you should never be intimidated by talent. You hire the best people, people who are better than you, because you want collective skills in your team.”“Be very clear on the culture you want to create. So mutual respect is really important, creating a team that can build trust”.Grab a pen and notebook, take the time, this is a rich offering from a very generous leader.Play on!Cam

The FTSE 100 shook off the news on Thursday morning that the UK had dipped into a technical recession late last year to open higher. GDP contracted 0.3% over the final quarter of 2023, according to the ONS, following a 0.1% decline in the previous three months, meaning the UK fell into its first non-COVID-related recession since 2009. Among companies, British Gas owner Centrica climbed after posting higher-than-expected full-year profit and lifting its dividend. Airline Jet2 also gained altitude after bumping up its full-year profit expectations on resilient travel sector demand. And finally, NatWest is reportedly set to discuss interim boss Paul Thwaite's permanent appointment as chief executive on Thursday, following the departure of former chief executive Alison Rose over the Nigel Farage debanking scandal. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ONS #recession #Centrica #BritishGas #Jet2 #Natwest #NIgelFarage #PaulThwaite #AlisonRose #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

African Americans have a long and rich history in the development of Los Angeles and yet, it is only sparsely recognized. MHD and co-host, Chavonne Taylor, sit down with Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson, a historian who has not only researched and documented Black History in Los Angeles but has contributed to its official recognition in communities and cities throughout the county. She talks with MHD about the ways African Americans have contributed to the development of Los Angeles, why Black LA history documentation has been limited, and even her own family history as a third-generation African American Californian.Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson is the author of Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era which examines how African Americans pioneered leisure through their attempts to create communities and business projects, in conjunction with the growing African American population. She is currently working with the California African American Museum as a guest curator on the February 2023 exhibition Black California Dreamin' which highlights Black Angelenos and Californians who worked to make leisure an open, inclusive reality.www.alisonrosejefferson.comhttps://caamuseum.org/exhibitions/2023/black-california-dreamin-african-americans-and-the-frontier-of-leisureEpisode Spotify Playlist
David Yelland and Simon Lewis assess the endgame around former CEO Alison Rose's departure from NatWest. With a forensic PR eye they return to the scene of her fan-hitting moment at a charity dinner where she sat next to the BBC business editor Simon Jack. What tricks of the trade do communications people have up their sleeves to avoid a PR disaster like this one? And how will the debate around Alison Rose's pay-out affect her reputation? The consumer giant Unilever is in the news for apparently rolling back on its social purpose. Having spent years leading the way for sustainable business, was it all just PR, or was it real? How far are the culture wars derailing Unilever's values? And as speculation builds around the line-up for the next series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, David and Simon discuss whether going into the jungle can ever be classed as good PR.Producer: Eve Streeter Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: William Miller Researcher: Sophie Smith Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur production for BBC Radio 4

No one's perfect, not even Barbie, and we should stop expecting it of our female leaders. That's the view of Tamara Box, this week's guest on Show Me The Way. She's a global business leader and Managing Partner, Europe and Middle East for law firm Reed Smith, as well as the trustee on the Chartered Management Institute board and chair of the CMI Women's Committee. In this week's episode, Tamara talks about breaking expectations of female perfectionism in the workplace, and the need to create an environment where women can not only get to the top, but want to be there and stay there. We discuss society's expectations of female leaders and the sad fact this means many end up falling off the glass cliff and we go into some depth on Alison Rose, the CEO of NatWest who recently resigned. Hear her expand upon her view of the importance of kindness in leadership and the power of the corporate sisterhood, reinvention and resilience. Tamara also has some great book recommendations. For Emmeline's bookshelf Tamara recommends: The Magic Treehouse series Jack Stalwart Secret Agent
Much has been written and said about the Nigel Farage ‘debanking' story. Thinking a client is a ‘disingenuous grifter' or a xenophobic racist is not supposed to be a good enough reason for a bank to deny someone an account.But what about the journalism involved in breaking the story? Was the BBC's Business Editor Simon Jack right to have broadcast a story based on the word of a very senior figure within the bank?Yes, the Three Old Hacks - aka former BBC Sports News editor Mihir Bose, Sunday Times Economics Editor David Smith and political analyst Nigel Dudley - are unanimous that he should have been able to trust the word of the chief executive Dame Alison Rose, and yes he should have published the story.The British public wouldn't know the half of what went on without such leaks to journalists. But how does a journalist know when they are being led up the garden path?The Three Old Hacks have broken many stories and all at some time or another followed that well-trodden path. Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!
TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7497LA GUERRA AL CONTANTE CI LIMITA LA LIBERTA' di Roberto MarchesiniSi moltiplicano le storielle che vedono protagonisti i giornalisti italiani e il denaro contante, o meglio: il provinciale rifiuto da parte degli italiani di abbandonare il denaro contante (fisico, quello che si tiene in mano) per quello elettronico e virtuale. Che arretratezza, questi peninsulari, i soliti provincialotti ignoranti, timorosi del nuovo. Eppure, è così comodo il denaro elettronico, così sicuro, così veloce... «di cosa avete paura, italiani», è la solita chiosa: perché, dietro ogni atteggiamento critico e diffidente deve per forza nascondersi una fobia, una patologia irrazionale e, chissà, patologica.E questo nonostante l'esperienza quotidiana insegni che capita che il POS (come tutti gli strumenti tecnologici) a volte non funzioni e soffra le interruzioni di corrente; che capita, ai boomer come me, di avere un vuoto di memoria e dimenticarsi il pin; che le carte di credito possono essere clonate in un attimo e che questo non è nulla rispetto all'inferno che segue (annullare transazioni, denunciare, aspettare la carta nuova...); che si formino code infinite alla cassa del supermercato perché il lettore ottico non legge, la carta va strisciata anzi-no-inserita, «signora riprovi», transazione rifiutata «e io adesso come faccio...?».Gli illuminati, i moderni, pagano con la carta anche il caffè e non importa se tutto l'importo se lo prende la banca come compenso per il servizio: si provi, il barista, a suggerire l'uso della monetina fisica. Per quanto possa sembrare assurdo, le Aziende Sanitarie Locali - cioè la sanità pubblica - non accettano il pagamento del ticket con denaro di stato in corso legale (cioè il denaro contante) ma vogliono essere pagate con una moneta privata, inesistente (cioè con il bancomat). Il tutto condito con la costante beatificazione della moneta elettronica provata e alla demonizzazione del denaro contante di Stato. Follia? Oppure...Torniamo con la memoria al febbraio dell'anno scorso, quando i camionisti canadesi sono confluiti a Ottawa per protestare contro le vessatorie misure «per il contrasto alla pandemia». Il Canada è un paese occidentale, democratico, libero, dove il popolo può esprimere liberamente il suo pensiero anche tramite manifestazioni pubbliche. Che strano, dunque, che si siano visti maltrattamenti e arresti; e persino la misteriosa morte, durante la detenzione, di una leader delle proteste. Sarà stata una drogata, figurati. Però abbiamo anche assistito a qualcosa di nuovo che mi ha causato un leggero brivido: il governo ha bloccato i conti dei camionisti che protestavano contro il governo.Avanziamo fino a un mesetto fa: ricordate l'istrionico Nigel Farage, leader dell'UKIP e protagonista della Brexit? Bene: a quanto pare ha dichiarato che la sua banca gli ha chiuso il conto corrente e, poiché nessun altro istituto ha mostrato l'intenzione di aprirne un altro, è costretto a espatriare. Se questa cosa vi ricorda vagamente il confino fascista o l'esilio dantesco o l'ostracismo dell'antica Grecia... beh, stiamo pensando le stesse cose. Ma non è possibile, l'Occidente è il faro della democrazia, noi siamo tolleranti, tutti hanno il diritto di opinione e di parola.Infine, nei giorni scorsi: un blogger tedesco ha scritto che la leader dei Verdi, Ricarda Lang, è una «cicciona». Indovinate? Conto corrente bloccato. I suoi follower (maledizione a questa lingua barbarica) hanno tentato di fare una colletta elettronica: bloccata anche quella. Cosa farà, adesso, il giovane blogger? Morirà di fame? Espatrierà? Di sicuro, non esprimerà mai più pubblicamente la sua opinione nei confronti di un leader di una maggioranza politica in un paese occidentale libero e democratico.Sarò paranoico, ma a me sta venendo il leggerissimo sospetto che il denaro privato (cioè delle banche), virtuale (cioè inesistente), abbia come scopo quello di punire il dissenso. E adesso il pensiero corre a Il mondo nuovo di Huxley, nel quale il selvaggio (cioè chi non si adegua al mondo nuovo), non riuscendo a viverci nonostante, anzi, proprio perché disgustato da soma e dall'orgy-porgy , non ha altra scelta che il suicidio.A pensar male si fa peccato? Certo, rispondeva Andreotti, però...Nota di BastaBugie: Mario Iannaccone nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Farage insegna: le banche controlleranno le nostre idee" parla della chiusura del conto bancario di Nigel Farage per essere stato il responsabile della Brexit, ma è solo l'inizio...Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 26 luglio 2023:Non va presa sottogamba la decisione della direzione della banca Coutts di Londra di sospendere il conto del deputato Nigel Farage. Egli ha rivelato di aver avuto il conto chiuso "poco gentilmente" dopo molti anni di rapporto continuativo. L'antica Banca Coutts è parte di un gruppo controllato dalla NatWest, la National Westminster, guidata dalla banchiera Alison Rose, che ieri però si è dimessa ed è stata sostituita. La ragione della chiusura? I comunicati usciti in veloce successione hanno prima affermato che la decisione era stata presa perché Farage non aveva abbastanza soldi sul conto, essendo andato sotto il milione di sterline investite, "limite di ricchezza" richiesto dalla banca di Private Equity, cioè di gestione di patrimoni consistenti.Quando Farage è rientrato in quei limiti, la decisione di chiudere il conto non è cambiata ed è stata confermata. Nei mesi scorsi, la banca ha stilato un rapporto interno su Farage con «commenti profondamente inappropriati» per punirlo come cliente e cittadino a causa delle sue visioni definite «xenofobe, scioviniste e razziste», giudizi che paiono falsi. Il rapporto del Comitato per la Reputazione della Banca Coutts dichiarava che Farage rappresentava un rischio per l'istituto, accusandolo per i suoi commenti «sgradevoli che sembrano sempre più fuori contatto con la società in generale». La chiusura dunque è dovuta a ragioni ideologiche.La reputazione della Gran Bretagna come terra di libertà di espressione è stata danneggiata dalla notizia. La presidente del gruppo bancario NatWest, la citata Alison Rose, ha cercato di correre ai ripari dopo aver udito le dichiarazioni del primo ministro inglese Rishi Sunak e altri membri del gabinetto, che hanno criticato il fatto che un conto venisse chiuso per «opinioni espresse». Sunak ha avvertito che «non sarebbe giusto se i servizi finanziari fossero negati a chi esercita il proprio diritto alla libertà di parola all'interno della legge». Il ministro dell'Interno, invece, Suella Braverman, ha definito la decisione «sinistra». Per questi interventi, evidentemente volti a limitare i danni sul sistema bancario inglese che conta innumerevoli conti aperti da cittadini stranieri, arabi ad esempio, che probabilmente nutrono a loro volta sentimenti poco "inclusivi", secondo il metro del politicamente corretto, proprio come Farage, Alison Rose si è scusata e ieri si è dimessa.Giovedì 13 luglio, Farage ha ringraziato per le scuse, aggiungendo di aver ben compreso che queste erano arrivate soltanto per pressioni del governo, imbarazzato che una banca importante come la NatWest scrivesse dossier con osservazioni di tipo politico e ideologico. La Rose, scusandosi in modo poco convincente, ha affermato che i commenti, preparati dagli esperti per il rischio di «reputazione patrimoniale» di Coutts, «non riflettono il punto di vista della banca», cioè non della Coutts ma della controllante NatWest. E ha aggiunto: «Nessun individuo dovrebbe leggere tali commenti e mi scuso con il signor Farage per questo».Vere scuse? No, un tattico «controllo del danno». Soltanto chiacchiere, a cui non è seguito alcun fatto, perché la decisione è stata confermata, il conto non è stato riaperto e la presidente ha invitato Farage ad aprire un conto piuttosto presso NatWest accettando di abbandonare Coutts. Farage ha commentato: «Nella vita è sempre bello ricevere delle scuse, quindi grazie dame Alison per essersi scusata. Quello che però mi è stato effettivamente detto, in privato, è che lei è stata costretta ad agire così perché pressata dal Ministero del Tesoro».Farage ha inoltre affermato di aver saputo che si stanno valutando le posizioni di migliaia di altre persone. E questo ha gettato allarme ulteriore.

Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the ramifications of Dame Alison Rose resigning as head of Natwest. Did she have to go and should the government have intervened? What are the ramifications of banks debanking customers whose views they don't like? Mike looks at the three by-election results, which show rather more than simply an all-score draw for the three main parties. He also reflects on Labour dropping its pledge on trans self-ID and considers briefly the effect that social media is having on effective politics. Learn more about your ad choices.

From the BBC World Service: The Taliban has fulfilled its threat to shut down hair and beauty salons across Afghanistan, leaving tens of thousands of women without work. The BBC’s Caroline Davies explains. The CEO of NatWest, one of the UK’s biggest banks, has resigned after the bank closed the account of a former politician due to his conservative right-wing views. Alison Rose had said Nigel Farage’s account was shut down due to a lack of funds. In Germany, the government is suggesting that a siesta could help workers cope with uncharacteristic summer heat, and, finally, David Gressly, UN humanitarian coordinator for Yemen, gives an update on an operation to remove one million barrels of oil from a derelict tanker.

But why does the government play a role in this decision? And will there be more resignations to come?

With the race season on the horizon, I want to share with you some tips on how you can improve your running. You might think that means running faster or more often. Actually, triathlon running is about being as efficient as possible especially in longer distance events where the goal is to slow down as little as possible. Good technique will also help you to stay injury free and run later into your life. In a recent podcast I spoke with physiotherapist Alison Rose, and she mentioned that 75-80% of the injuries she treats in triathletes are running related. The top 3 causes are inappropriate training, poor technique and lack of strength. Last week's podcast was with knee specialist Damian Buck, and he shared the information that running doesn't necessarily cause knee problems, and there are many things we can all do to maintain good knee health so we can continue running until we choose to stop. My guest this week is the highly respected running coach Bobby McGee. Bobby firmly believes that the key to better running is mechanical efficiency. We talk about: biomechanics posture the importance of dynamic mobility and running drills run specific strength work specific advice for older runners on how you can adapt your training to stay healthy and maintain your performances (this is near the end of the episode, and you might find his guidance surprising) To find out more about Bobby please visit him on any of these spots: Website bobbymcgee.com Instagram @bobbymcgeerunning Bobby McGee is a triathlon expert on the AnyQuestion.com He does a lot of work with strength coach Matt Pendola (Pendola Project) who he mentioned in the podcast. They have developed the RunFORM course (as a listener you can use the code BOBBY10 to get a 10% discount). If you would like a training plan developed by Bobby McGee with Gwen Jorgensen you can find them on TrainingPeaks.

I recently asked some folks on my Facebook pages about their biggest concerns related to getting older and how it would impact their training or racing. By far the biggest concern was the fear of injury. I also hear a lot of triathletes stating that they are maintaining swim and bike speed with age, but regardless of what they do they are running much more slowly. This raised a few questions: Why do we run slower as we get older, and is this inevitable? Is injury inevitable with ageing? Are males more prone to injury than females or are there different injury patterns? Most importantly, what actions can we all take which will help us to become more resilient and limit or even avoid injury? To answer these questions I invited Alison Rose, founder of the Coach House Sports Injury Clinic (CSPC) in Leeds to join me for a chat. At CSPC, Alison and her team of physios help athletes to return to competition after injury, but they also encourage them to take proactive actions so that they can stay healthy. Some of our discussion topics include Proactive visits to see your physio Pay more attention to foot and ankle care Skipping to improve 'ping and spring' The benefits of deliberate breathing practice Daily heel raises to build calf strength The importance of balance work for older athletes To find out more about Alison Rose and the services that they provide at the Coach House Sports Physiotherapy Clinic please visit http://www.cspc.co.uk/. Alison also recommended the following books that have inspired and interested her: Fast after 50 - Joe Friel The Light We Carry - Michelle Obama Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson Alison also recommended these podcasts.

The beachfront resort, Bruce’s Beach, run for and by Black residents of the community, located in Manhattan Beach, was one of the first enclaves of Black leisure in the Los Angeles area during the Jim Crow era. Willa and Charles Bruce bought the land in 1912 and despite harassment and violence from white neighbors, it thrived until the 1920s when the city council used eminent domain to seize the property for use as a park. The land sat unused for years until it was transferred to the state in 1948, then the county, and along the way turned into a park. Roughly a hundred years later in 2021, and worth an estimated $75 million, the descendants of the Bruces were awarded their land back through state legislation unanimously approved, a milestone in the fight for reparations and the return of land stolen from people of color. Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson, an independent historian, heritage conservationist, third generation Californian, and a 2021–22 Getty Conservation Institute Scholar in Residence based in Los Angeles, shares some of her research on Bruce’s Beach included in her most recent book, Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era (University of Nebraska Press). The book was awarded the 2020 Miriam Matthews Ethnic History Award by the Los Angeles City Historical Society for its exceptional contributions to the greater understanding and awareness of regional history. Her work on Bruce’s Beach, has been foundational to a current public policy initiative to rectify 1920s racist actions which chased Black people out of the area. Living the California Dream…has been optioned by actors Brad Pitt and Viola Davis’ production companies in a joint venture with Amazon to produce a scripted TV series. Join Dr. Jefferson and host Brad Johnson as they discuss how African Americans pioneered the nation’s “frontier of leisure” in Southern California in conjunction with their growing population in the region during the nation’s Jim Crow era (1900s to 1960s); the significance of leisure in pursuing the full range of human experience, fulfillment and dignity; and the meaning of spatial justice. We also hear from Dr. Jefferson about some of her other projects including Santa Monica’s Belmar History + Art and the Angels Walk LA Central Avenue heritage trail which both reconstruct and reinsert the historical African American experience in the regional landscape and American identity; upcoming exhibits; and on-going field trip programming for underserved youth.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel gave his first of 2 interviews with Alley Einstein for "Big Pictures & Strong Features," on February 13, 2008. The writer was an established independent writer for British magazines, including Fabulous, More, and Take a Break. (NOTE: “UIC” was also written on the physical audiocassette tape of the original copy of this interview. She was also known as "Alison Rose," being a TV journalist in Australia.) In addition to learning about what she called "mature polygamy," the writer was (successfully) contracting with Mark Henkel to organize a conference call with a family in UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy. The agreement would limit the article to only the print edition - neither for the United States nor anything online. She also agreed to many required conditions, too. The writer asked many excellent questions. Mark Henkel provided several excellent soundbites. When Mark Henkel used the term, “Multiple Monogamy,” the writer said “I like that phrase.” She also initiated her own comparison of how, when Prince Charles married Princess Diana, it was understood that "he would still keep his mistress." Mark Henkel affirmed how her comparison demonstrates the hypocrisy of those who support that concept but still oppose UCAP. The writer even declared, “I am a supporter of polygamy.” The subsequent interview would solidify the arrangements for the writer's conference call with one of the families from Mark Henkel's organization. Listeners may hear that second interview in the next subsequent podcast. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Eric's Perspective : A podcast series on African American art
In this episode, Eric speaks with historian, scholar and advocate Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson who talks about her family tree, history and the journey of her anscestors who migrated to and settled in Los Angeles, the African American experience in Southern California during the twentieth century during the Jim Crow era and how this changed California. Eric and Dr. Jefferson discus her recent book entitled Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era and how African Americans pioneered leisure in American's “frontier of leisure” through their attempts to create communities and business projects, in conjunction with the growing African American population of Southern California during the nation's Jim Crow era.. and how African Americans helped define the practice and meaning of leisure for the region and the nation, confronted the emergent power politics of leisure space, and set the stage for the sites as places for remembrance of invention and public contest.For more visit: www.ericsperspective.comGuest Bio: Alison Rose Jefferson is a third generation Californian. Presently her research and professional interests revolve around the intersection of historical memory, American history, the history of the African American experience in Southern California during the twentieth century great migration and Jim Crow era, heritage conservation, spatial justice and cultural tourism. She is also interested in her work's intersections with the experiences of people of African descent in other global settings.Along with other work activities utilizing her knowledge and skills expertise, she has written a book, Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era. This study examines how African Americans pioneered leisure in American's “frontier of leisure” through their attempts to create communities and business projects, in conjunction with the growing African American population of Southern California during the nation's Jim Crow era. The places Jefferson examines illustrate a range of recreation and relaxation production purposes and societal encounters at beach and inland locations. Through struggle over these places described in her book, African Americans helped define the practice and meaning of leisure for the region and the nation, confronted the emergent power politics of leisure space, and set the stage for the sites as places for remembrance of invention and public contest. Her research and applied history projects illuminating these stories extend the narrative of the African American experience in American historical writings and memory of California, and the U.S. in general by expanding the examination of the struggle for leisure and public space for all Americans in long freedom rights struggle. Her applied history project work and book, Living the California Dream…, were honored with the 2020 Miriam Matthews Ethnic History Award by the Los Angeles City Historical Society for its exceptional contributions to the greater understanding and awareness of Los Angeles history. Jefferson has participated in numerous public programs, including ongoing history public engagement events, lectures, museum exhibitions, oral history interview research, the creation of commemorative monuments, landmark site designations and documentary films.About Eric's Perspective: A podcast series on African American art with Eric Hanks.

Dr. Fox suggests that an addiction to five white core values that inherently promote tacit acceptance of white domination may be at the root of the problem of understanding Racism/White Supremacy.

Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites During the Jim Crow Era (Nebraska, 2020) is about the places where the past and future meet. Throughout the early twentieth century, African Americans moved to California for jobs, for the beautiful weather and landscapes, and to start futures for themselves and their families. Like their white neighbors, they found sites of play and fun across the Southern California environment, from lakes to beaches to country clubs. Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson, an independent scholar and conservation consultant, describes several instance of place making - imbuing beaches and other locations with meaning and memories for the African Americans across the region - and how whites in Southern California reacted with racist backlash against Black leisure in public places. Jefferson, who has worked closely with various groups in greater Los Angeles to promote public memory of the sites covered in the book, describes how contestation over the meaning of these places has continued into the present day. At its core, this is a book about people having fun, and how people have made meaning, or resisted those meanings, at places where people have always flocked for a good time. Dr. Stephen R.

The British government is encouraging workers to return to their offices amid concerns that the shift to working from home during the coronavirus pandemic is hurting coffee bars, restaurants and other businesses, leaving city centres virtual "ghost towns."Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative government plans to roll out a media campaign next week that will encourage employers to show staff members what they have done to protect them from COVID-19 and make it safe to return to traditional workplaces.Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said Friday this was the right time for many people to return to their offices because their children will be going back to school next week. He also said prolonged isolation from friends and colleagues is taking a toll on workers, particularly young people."For many people's mental health, it is important to return to a safe workplace. So that's why workplaces are being made COVID secure over the summer, and for a lot of people it will be the right time to return," Shapps told the BBC. "Others, I accept, will carry on in a much more flexible way than they did in the past.''The Confederation of British Industry has warned that office closures are taking a wide toll on the economy as traffic plunges at shops that rely on walk-in business. That impact was demonstrated Thursday when sandwich shop chain Pret a Manger announced plans to cut about 2,800 jobs around Britain after sales fell 60%.The British government should expand coronavirus testing and highlight efforts to reduce virus transmission on trains and buses to encourage people to return to their offices, the CBI said.It also claimed that bringing workers back into the office is also a matter of fairness, because many people can't work from home and young people, in particular, are often forced to spend long hours in tiny apartments. The group represents 190,000 businesses employing more than 7 million people."The costs of office closure are becoming clearer by the day. Some of our busiest city centres resemble ghost towns, missing the usual bustle of passing trade," CBI Director General Carolyn Fairbairn said. "This comes at a high price for local businesses, jobs and communities."Fairbairn told Times Radio a "hybrid" approach that combines remote working with time in traditional workplaces was needed to help workers adjust.Alison Rose, chief executive of NatWest Group, described such a model last month."We're going to be quite careful and thoughtful about how we bring people back into offices and evolve office space,'' she said. "What we'll see is a bit more of a hybrid working model, and that's something we'll work on very carefully.'' More than 50,000 staff members of NatWest Group will keep working from home into 2021.The government has been nudging people back to work for several weeks but economic pressures are intensifying.Treasury chief Rishi Sunak has ruled out extending a government program for furloughed workers beyond October as he seeks to jump-start a moribund economy. The government program covers up to 70% of the wages of furloughed workers, as long as employers promise to bring them back to work."I think there's a limit, just in human terms, to remote working," Shapps said. "And there are things where you just need to spark off each other and get together in order to make progress."But many workers are reluctant to return to the office with COVID-19 cases on the rise again and Britain already having the highest confirmed virus death toll in Europe at over 41,560 people.The government recorded 1,522 new daily infections on Thursday, up from a low of 367 on July 12. The figure is still far below the peak of 5,488 cases reported on April 22 but experts say all those numbers undercount the true impact of the pandemic due to limited testing and other factors.Unions are urging employers to be flexible and recognize that the world of work has changed.

From the BBC 'Minimal' checks needed on post-Brexit Northern Ireland-Great Britain trade There will be "minimal targeted interventions" on trade from Northern Ireland to GB under the PM's Brexit deal, the Brexit secretary has said. Stephen Barclay's comments came after Northern Ireland business groups appealed for greater clarity about how the deal will affect trade with the rest of the UK. It will mean new administration and checks on goods crossing the Irish Sea. But how those processes will be implemented is yet to be worked out. From NBC News Google claims quantum computer breakthrough. IBM pushes back. An experimental quantum processor performed a calculation in minutes that would've taken an ordinary supercomputer thousands of years, Google said. The findings, published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature, show that "quantum speedup is achievable in a real-world system and is not precluded by any hidden physical laws," the researchers wrote. Quantum computing is a nascent and somewhat bewildering technology for vastly sped-up information processing. Quantum computers might one day revolutionize tasks that would take existing computers years, including the hunt for new drugs and optimizing city and transportation planning. From the BBC RBS slumps to loss after £900m hit from PPI Royal Bank of Scotland has swung to a loss in the third quarter after taking a hit from the cost of payment protection insurance. The Edinburgh-based bank, in which the government owns a 62% stake, added its investment bank had a "particularly challenging" three months. It reported a pre-tax loss of £8m for the July-to-September period after it took a £900m charge for PPI. These are the last results before chief executive Ross McEwan departs. The New Zealander is being replaced by Alison Rose next month, when she becomes the first woman to lead one of the UK's big four banks. She joined the bank 27 years ago as a graduate trainee. The bank had reported a £961m profit in the same three months a year ago. That's all for today! check back tomorrow for more news

In this week’s podcast, I’m returning to a conversation I recorded almost 2 years ago. Alison Rose is an Olympic physio with many years of experience in working with elite runners and triathletes. As we approach the race season, both the intensity and volume of your training are bound to go up and this will have a bearing on your risk of injury. In this very short but highly informative chat, Alison shares some really insightful comments about why triathletes get injured and how to avoid it, including: Why 80% of triathlon injuries come from running The important contribution of cycling to your running injuries Why your Achilles injury might be more to do with tightness in the upper body Rehab and why it’s the 4th discipline Calf raises - the non-negotiable activity after every run Pre run activity - stretching the tight muscles and activating the sluggish ones An alternative definition of ‘smart’ training Good technique - why it reduces your risk of injury Alison’s 5 step process to staying healthy and uninjured To find out more about Alison Rose and the service that they provide at the Coach House Sports Physiotherapy Clinic please visit http://www.cspc.co.uk/.

Anxiety and expectations, how “fear circuitry” affects self-management, and the importance of social prescribing. This edition is supported by friends of Pain Concern. Director of CSPC Physiotherapy in Leeds, Alison Rose, specialises in working with high-level athletes, particularly those with complex injury histories. Rose speaks to Paul about her experience with chronic pain as being subjective for both athletes and non-athletes, explaining it as a unique “puzzle” that needs to be put together to find the core mechanisms that cause pain. We also hear about the many unexpected physical relationships within our bodies that cause pain, as well as the importance of social networks. We then hear from Cardiff University Professor of Medical Education Ann Taylor. Professor Taylor speaks about her work exploring how those with chronic pain perceive non-pain related information, and how this information is processed through “fear circuitry” which can have detrimental effects on self-management. Professor Taylor promotes more focus on the ‘social’ aspect of the biopsychosocial model and the benefit of constructive conversations between patients and their healthcare professionals, something which Pain Concern’s Navigator Tool aims to do. We hear again from Professor Mark Johnson of Leeds Beckett University, contributor to Airing Pain 110, about the importance of delivering healthcare with a social emphasis. Contributors: Alison Rose MCSP HCPC, Director of CSPC Physiotherapy, Leeds Professor Ann Taylor, Programme Director for the MSc in Pain Management at Cardiff University Professor Mark Johnson, Professor of Pain and Analgesia and Director of the Centre for Pain Research, Leeds Beckett University.

Our hosts, David M. Brear, Simon Taylor and Jason Bates are joined by two great guests, Sigridur Sigurdardottir, CEO of Asto and Ali Paterson from Fintech Finance. First up, Lloyds is 'digitising'. Britain's biggest high street lender will this week announce plans to create 8,000 jobs as part of a £3bn transformation and technology investment programme. Lloyds Banking Group will announce on Tuesday that it is cutting around 6,000 existing roles but establishing approximately 8,000 new posts, leading to a net jobs creation figure of around 2,000. The 8,000 new roles are understood to focus on areas of digital expansion including in the group transformation unit, reflecting the changes taking place across the banking industry. We've got some great comments from Katherine Griffiths from the Times about the story. Marcus by Goldman Sachs is opening a new account every 35 seconds. Marcus, the online savings account from Goldman Sachs, has racked up 100,000 customers since its launch in the UK just forty days ago. Discussed on the show before, they are providing long-suffering savers with a market-beating 1.50% interest rate. Royal Bank of Scotland to launch digital bank for SMEs. Royal Bank of Scotland has become the first of the UK’s big high street lenders to open a standalone digital account, with the launch of a new business-focused current account that will be run independently of its traditional brands. The new bank, called Mettle, is designed for small business customers, and will provide a current account alongside services such as invoicing and cash flow forecasting. We also have a great interview with Alison Rose, CEO of RBS CPB to learn more. HSBC warns customers of data breach. HSBC has locked some customers out their online accounts in response to a data breach that saw unauthorised users gain access to a host of financial and personal information. In a notice to customers, which has been filed with California's Attorney General's office, the bank says: "HSBC became aware of online accounts being accessed by unauthorized users between October 4, 2018 and October 14, 2018. Among the information which may have been accessed is full names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account numbers, account types, account balances, transaction history, payee account information, and statement history. Tech Nation helping fintech play with banks. This PAS provides a guide to fintechs on the terms and approach used by many financial institutions for collaboration and commercialisation of new fintech propositions. We speak to Greg Michel from Tech Nation to find out more. And finally, Anna launches debit card that miaows. Anna, a hybrid digital assistant for SMEs, that combines an app, card and business account, is rolling out the gimmick after consulting "animal psychologist" Ellena Hinson. With 90% of small business failures attributed to cash flow problems, Anna claims that a sharp miaow emanating from its app everytime a payment is made could make users think more carefully about their spending. Hinson goes so far as to suggest small biz owners look to cats for tips on managing their finances. All this and so much more on today's episode of Fintech Insider!

This week Simon is answering more of our listener's questions and focussing on subjects that have been very topical on the various social media platforms and always at the forefront of the endurance athlete's mind. None of us like to get injured or ill, and yet these two major disrupters of training (and of a healthy life) seem to come around far too often. Some see it as a side effect of pushing the boundaries and chasing elusive goals, while others see them as entirely avoidable . . . while still chasing those elusive goals. In today's episode Simon will: Define exactly what over-training and under-recovery are Identify 7 signs of under-recovery Highlight why you must recognise that ALL stressors are cumulative, and the importance of taking the correct action to minimise stress Share some simple tips for avoiding under-recovery syndrome Reveal the 3 key causes of running injuries and how to avoid them Explain what to do when you feel a niggle while training Describe how to return to training after a running injury In the podcast Simon also mentioned 3 other podcasts which you might find useful.

David chats to Alison Rose, CEO, Commercial and Private Banking RBS at their offices in London. She tells us all about her background, how she got into financial servi es, why she stayed in banking for 25 years and how the industry is always changing and challenging her. She talks about the positives of disruption and how much there is to learn; why humility is important; and how best to help customers through the changes facing them. They also spoke about being a woman in the industry, how she is a role model and a pioneering woman in banking at the peak of her career - how does she do it? Why is it important to have female role models in this industry, how important it is to her to be seen as a good female role model; how she achieves a good work/life balance as a working mum, and why it's so important but also so hard to address the gender imbalance in the industry and how, in her view, it needs to be addressed at all levels, not just the top.
