Antibiotics - They’re amazing, but they don’t work on viral infections like the cold and flu

YourUpdateTV

As consumers struggle to navigate yet another heavy-hitting cold and flu season, it is important to uncover the misconceptions surrounding the alarming overuse of antibiotics, especially the misuse in treating viral infections like the common cold and flu. Recently, Dr. Ken Redcross, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and advice on how to safely and effectively manage cold or flu symptoms. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/0aIOL11vnss Every year, approximately 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur and 35,000 people in the US die from Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a global health emergency caused by common misconceptions about the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating cold and flu symptoms, which over time can lead to rampant antibiotic overuse and antibiotic resistance. To raise awareness of this global health crisis and help fight these misconceptions, Mucinex – a brand made by Reckitt which clears the way for people to make powerful comebacks from sickness with its line of over-the-counter cold and flu medications – is launching its new “Flip the Script” campaign. This multi-pronged initiative aims to educate consumers about the widespread inappropriate use of antibiotics currently plaguing the U.S. and the world at large. The brand will partner with Urgent and Primary Care Centers to help address this issue. There’s a reason for that: 7 in 10 Urgent Care Center patients ask their doctor for an antibiotic and 45.7% of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions for Respiratory diagnoses were from Urgent Care centers. That’s why Mucinex plans to roll out signage and educational materials at Urgent and Primary Care Centers, as well as a series of educational videos and audio PSAs online, which clearly explain why OTC products like Mucinex – not antibiotics – are still the best option for treating cold and flu symptoms. Antibiotic Resistance caused partly by this misuse of antibiotics is a leading cause of death worldwide. This misuse stems largely from two common and incorrect misconceptions: that antibiotics are the best line of defense against cold and flu symptoms and that antibiotics are essential when cold and flu symptoms last longer than two or three days. Mucinex’s partnership with Urgent and Primary Care Centers throughout the nation will focus on states that have a high index of certain AMR strains and antibiotic prescriptions per population. How can consumers Flip the Script? Those who visit participating urgent care centers will find educational materials about antibiotic resistance, urging them to reach out to their physician when feeling unwell so that the proper treatment can be prescribed. Should the physician recommend an over-the-counter medication, they can share a “prescription” with the patient—an informative flipped brochure about antibiotics vs. OTC medication — that includes a Mucinex coupon, making it simpler to relieve your worst cold and flu symptoms at any time, day or night. For more information on the campaign and real-life examples of people struggling with the effects of AMR, visit the “Flip the Script” landing page on the Mucinex website at Mucinexfight.com.

From Paper to Precision: How Chakow is Changing the UK’s Toilet Habits one flush at a time

Chakow Limited

Chakow, the UK’s first dedicated bidet supplier, is delighted to announce the launch of its unique bidet attachment to the UK market. It’s the first step in a bold plan to move the nation away from its toilet paper addiction, towards a greener, more sustainable future. The Chakow bidet attachment can be fitted to your existing toilet in less than ten minutes without the aid of a plumber, and instantly creates a hygienic, cost-effective alternative to loo roll that is much better for the environment. The UK is one of the biggest consumers of toilet paper in the world. While bidets are the standard in many parts of Europe and Asia, they have never really caught on in UK bathrooms. But, with public awareness around sustainability improving all the time, that might be about to change. Toilet paper is the ultimate ‘use once, throw away’ consumer item. It has a shorter life-span that any single use plastic, and, despite attempts to improve recycling and make products biodegradable, the humble loo roll still has a devastatingly high carbon footprint. Millions of trees are cut down every day to meet the nation’s toilet paper demands, while ‘luxury’ alternatives such as wet wipes are even worse for the environment, often ending up in landfills and waterways. If just 10,000 UK households switched to using a bidet for a year, the carbon emissions saved would be the equivalent of driving a family car around the world 861 times. It would also save a significant amount of water, as each bidet flush uses only about a cup of water, compared to 47 gallons of water used to manufacture one roll of toilet paper. The Chakow bidet - a testament to form and function While the environmental benefits to using a bidet are staggering, moving away from toilet paper permanently is also much more cost-effective and hygienic. The UK’s reliance on toilet paper is largely cultural and driven by a fear of the unknown. The simple fact is that in many parts of the world, bidets are - literally - part of the furniture, and provide a sense of cleanliness and freshness that toilet paper can never match. Chakow is also committed to making the switch to bidets easy on the family finances. There is a low, one-off cost to installing the bidet attachment which can be recouped very quickly with the money saved from removing toilet roll from the weekly shop. In the long run, families can expect to make huge savings while also doing their bit for the environment. Chakow Bidet Features: Sleek, modern design with each knob meticulously crafted from a single billet of aluminium Non-electric for easy installation and maintenance Uses your existing water supply from your toilet cistern tank and warm water from your home heating system Easy to fit in less than 10 minutes with all the components provided and no plumber required Backed by a friendly Chakow consultant team who are always available to help Designed in the UK by a bunch of Brits trying to change the nation’s toilet habits one flush at a time! “Switching from toilet roll to bidets is more about mindset and tradition than anything else,” says Bikke Chettri, Founder of Chakow. “But we are not talking about a drastic lifestyle change here. We believe that by creating and designing a simple, superior, and eco-friendly product, we can inspire small yet impactful changes in day-to-day life. Our vision is to create a movement towards a more modern, hygienic, and environmentally conscious bathroom experience for everyone in the UK.” For further information, visit ​​ https://chakow.com/.

Angi 2023 Home Improvement Trends According to Angi

YourUpdateTV

As we head towards the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the year that was and start to plan for the year ahead. Recently, Angie Hicks from Angi (formerly Angie’s List) participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the top improvement trends from 2023 and a sneak preview at what to expect next year from Angi’s annual State of Home Spending report. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/kDalzLjKHms Overall, homeowners increased spending on their home in 2023 and spending on home improvement grew 6% to $13,667 with homeowners completing an average of 11.1 projects per household in 2023. Homeowners continue to show us that they love their homes and want to maintain them and invest in them. This year, homeowners took on a lot of projects to make their homes suit their needs and fit their lifestyles. Homeowners’ top projects run the gamut from the important work of making sure that your home is well maintained to projects that make your space fit your lifestyle like bathroom remodels and interior painting. Looking forward, we expect homeowners to continue prioritizing their homes and investing in improvement and maintenance projects. As we start thinking about our resolutions for 2024, make sure to include your home in your plans. A little planning and budgeting now can save you time and stress in the new year. It’s always great to start with a list of things that you really want to do around your home and the things that you need to do to make sure your home is properly maintained. For example, remodeling a bathroom might be high up on your list of projects for 2024, but you know that your HVAC system could also use some maintenance. If you’re not sure what maintenance you need to tackle on your home, Angi has some great resources for regular maintenance that you should be up to date on each year. In order to stick to your budget, keep up with regular maintenance. This will help to prevent unexpected emergency spending that will blow your whole budget - also planning for emergency spending that might inevitably pop up due to weather events, etc. will also help prevent you from having to borrow from your improvement fund for the projects you really want to tackle. For more information, visit Angi.com About Angie Hicks Since 1995, Angie Hicks has been dedicated to helping consumers get the real scoop on local service companies and health providers. Inspired by the frustrations her co-founder had trying to find reliable contractors in suburban Columbus, Ohio, she started Angie's List 'now Angi' to help homeowners find who they should hire and who they should avoid.

Unleash Financial Freedom This Holiday Season: Dash Your Way to Extra Savings for Holiday Shopping and Travel

YourUpdateTV

The holiday season is upon us, and so is the desire for a little extra cheer in our pockets. Recently, Taylor Bennett, Global Head of Public Affairs for DoorDash and Denis Boismier, a Dasher in Gibraltar, Michigan conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the unique earning opportunities and flexibility that come with being a dasher with Doordash. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/V8w4faZVNQk Dashing with Doordash gives people the ability to go out and earn money in a way that fits their schedule. ● 13M people have dashed in past decade and earned a total of $35B ● 72% spend less than 4 hours per week and 90% of Dashers spend less than 10 hours a week on delivery ● 78% of Dashers report being able to create their own schedule as the main reason they choose to dash, 64% cite supplemental income whenever they need Whether it’s saving up for the holidays, trying to pay off student loans or just wanting some additional financial security, dashing gives people the ability to go out and earn money in a way that fits their schedule – they can dash as often or as little as they’d like. With more than 22 new features this year aimed at making the dashing experience even better, there’s never been a better time to dash. With the introduction of Earn by Time, Post-Checkout Tipping, Dash Along the Way, and a new integration with GasBuddy, Dashers have more flexibility than ever when it comes to how they earn and more opportunities than ever to maximize their earnings potential. Safety is a top priority for DoorDash – that’s why the app has launched more than fifteen new features in the last year alone, including SafeDash Location Sharing, Apple CarPlay and SafeChat+. Here are some of the new features available to Dashers: Flexibility and Choice In June, Doordash made their biggest ever update to the way Dashers earn on DoorDash, providing unprecedented flexibility and choice by giving Dashers two ways to earn: Earn by Time, and Earn Per Offer: ● Earn by Time is an all new, industry-leading earnings mode that gives Dashers the choice to earn a guaranteed hourly minimum rate for time spent on a delivery – from the moment they hit accept until the order is dropped off – plus tips. ● Earn Per Offer is the same earning mode that Dashers have come to know and love. When a Dasher sees an offer in the Dasher app, it shows them a guaranteed minimum payout for that offer – they’ll always earn at least that amount, and never less Earnings Potential ● Post Checkout Tipping: Customers have a variety of preferences when it comes to tipping, so earlier this year Doordash added the ability for customers to tip at any point after checkout for up to 30 days after delivery – directly in the Dasher app. ● Dash Along the Way: Regardless of how they choose to earn, Dashers value efficiency and want to maximize their earnings. Dash Along the Way lets Dashers select their preferred starting zone and receive offers that will take them directly there, allowing them to earn on the way and reduce downtime. ● GasBuddy Integration: A new integration with GasBuddy allows Dashers to find the most affordable gas in their area and navigate to it – directly in the Dasher app. Platform Accessibility ● In-app Chat translation: To improve and streamline communication between Spanish-speaking Dashers and English-speaking customers, messages will now be automatically translated. 54 major languages will be supported. ● Spanish Language Chatbot: Doordash’s in-app Dasher support chatbot is an important resource for Dashers looking for real-time support and guidance while dashing. The chatbot is now available in Spanish, and if a Dasher needs support beyond the chatbot, they’ll automatically be transferred to a Spanish-speaking agent. ● Dasher App Language Setting: Many Spanish-speakers set their device’s language to English to help them practice, but want their core apps in their native language to avoid mistakes. Doordash introduced a new feature that allows Dashers to set the Dasher app language to Spanish – even if their device’s language setting is English. Making Dashing Even Safer ● SafeDash Check-In: If Doordash detects that a dash is taking longer than expected, they’ll automatically check in to see if the Dashers is okay. If they take a long time to respond or feel unsafe, an ADT safety agent will call them and escalate to 911 if necessary. ● Real-Time Safety Alerts: In the event of an emergency – like a natural disaster – Doordash can quickly alert Dashers, customers and merchants about the incident and suspend operations in the area. ● SafeDash Location Sharing: Dashers can share their location with up to 5 trusted contacts directly in the Dasher app. Those trusted contacts can see if the Dasher is on a delivery or if emergency assistance has been requested. ● Apple CarPlay Integration: With Apple CarPlay, drivers can sync their iPhone’s interface with their car’s built-in entertainment and information systems, helping drivers use key apps while reducing phone interactions.
