MIDDLESEX, ENGLAND, April 21, 2013 (Press-News.org) Europcar has announced the launch of a new UK website as part of its 'Moving Your Way' brand repositioning.

Europcar has evolved its services, processes and communications to focus on its customers' mobility needs. The new campaign aims to convey this total commitment to the customer and to shaping a better future for customers' mobility. A major part of the campaign has been the introduction of the hire company's newly designed website which went live on 16 April.

The website has been designed to reflect the values of the 'Moving Your Way' campaign by offering a user friendly experience that allows customers to make reservations from any page within 60 seconds. Advanced search filters, quote comparison features and simplified access to customer profiles have also been included to allow an easier booking process.

The new 'Moving Your Way' identity will be seen on Europcar's new marketing campaigns and in the new website which aims to provide a more intuitive booking process to enhance the car hire experience from start to finish.

"Our new brand promise, 'Moving Your Way', demonstrates the company's commitment to support the mobility needs of our customers throughout their lives," explained Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group. "Our diversified solutions provide our customers with more freedom and enable them to exploit the benefits of car hire for the complete mobility experience. However you choose to move, Europcar will move for you and with you."

As part of the "Moving Your Way" positioning, a new logo has been designed to symbolize mobility and to act as a quality stamp on all Europcar sub-brands and offers. This new brand identity has been introduced in all major European cities through advertising and marketing campaigns as well as on truck panels. New Europcar locations will be opened featuring this new logo whilst existing locations will be progressively redesigned with the new identity.

New radiotherapy approach reduces symptoms of dry mouth in patients with head and neck cancers

2013-04-20

Geneva, Switzerland: Researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to reduce the distressing symptoms of dry mouth in patients treated with radiotherapy for head and neck cancers if the radiation dose to a salivary gland (called the submandibular gland) on the opposite side to the tumour is kept to the minimum. The largest study yet to show a correlation between radiation doses to the submandibular glands and their output of saliva was presented today (Saturday) at the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO). As a result ...

2 landmark studies report on success of using image-guided brachytherapy to treat cervical cancer

2013-04-20

Geneva, Switzerland: Two large, landmark radiotherapy studies have shown that it is possible to treat cervical cancer effectively with high doses specifically adapted to each tumour, and with fewer serious side-effects to the surrounding normal organs. In two presentations today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) researchers will tell the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) that image-guided brachytherapy is able to deliver very high doses, which prevent the tumour from growing in over 90% of patients, with few serious side-effects. One ...

Calculating tsunami risk for the US East Coast

2013-04-20

Salt Lake City, Utah – The greatest threat of a tsunami for the U.S. east coast from a nearby offshore earthquake stretches from the coast of New England to New Jersey, according to John Ebel of Boston College, who presented his findings today at the Seismological Society of America 2013 Annual Meeting. The potential for an East Coast tsunami has come under greater scrutiny after a 2012 earthquake swarm that occurred offshore about 280 kilometers (170 miles) east of Boston. The largest earthquake in the 15-earthquake swarm, most of which occurred on April 12, 2012, ...

A global murmur, then unusual silence

2013-04-20

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In the global aftershock zone that followed the major April 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake, seismologists noticed an unusual pattern. The magnitude (M) 8.6 earthquake, a strike-slip event at intraoceanic tectonic plates, caused global seismic rates of M≥4.5 to rise for several days, even at distances thousands of kilometers from the mainshock site. However, the rate of M≥6.5 seismic activity subsequently dropped to zero for the next 95 days. This period of quiet, without a large quake, has been a rare event in the past century. So why ...

Intense, specialized training in young athletes linked to serious overuse injuries

2013-04-20

MAYWOOD, Il. - Young athletes who specialize in one sport and train intensively have a significantly higher risk of stress fractures and other severe overuse injuries, even when compared with other injured athletes, according to the largest clinical study of its kind. For example, young athletes who spent more hours per week than their age playing one sport – such as a 12-year-old who plays tennis 13 or more hours a week – were 70 percent more likely to experience serious overuse injuries than other injuries. Loyola University Medical Center sports medicine physician ...

Mathematical models out-perform doctors in predicting cancer patients' responses to treatment

2013-04-20

Geneva, Switzerland: Mathematical prediction models are better than doctors at predicting the outcomes and responses of lung cancer patients to treatment, according to new research presented today (Saturday) at the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO). These differences apply even after the doctor has seen the patient, which can provide extra information, and knows what the treatment plan and radiation dose will be. "The number of treatment options available for lung cancer patients are increasing, as well as the amount of information ...

Breast pain issue for 1 in 3 female marathon runners

2013-04-20

Women with larger cup sizes seem to be more susceptible, but childless women also seem to be more prone, and wearing a sports bra doesn't always help, finds the study, which publishes as London gears up for its annual international marathon tomorrow (Sunday April 21). The authors base their findings on the responses of just under 1300 female competitors passing through the registration zone for last year's marathon in the capital. The women were asked how much exercise they took, and its intensity - including participation in marathons - whether they wore sports bras ...

Painkillers taken before marathons linked to potentially serious side effects

2013-04-20

Many competitors try to prevent pain interfering with their performance by taking painkillers that are readily available in pharmacies and supermarkets, say the authors. And in a bid to find out what impact these common drugs might have, the authors quizzed participants in the 2010 Bonn Marathon/Half-Marathon about their use of medication and any symptoms they had during and/or after the race. In all, just under 4000 (56%) of all 7048 competitors returned their online questionnaires. Most (87%) had run marathons before. Of those who took painkillers before the race, ...
