UPS Replacement Case Study Case Study: UPS Backup UPS Replacement Case Study About Reach Plc are the largest national and regional news publisher in the UK, with influential and iconic brands such as the Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Sunday People, Daily Record, Daily Star, OK! and market leading regional titles including the Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo, Birmingham Mail and Bristol Post. Last year Reach Plc sold 540 million newspapers, and they have a bigger online monthly audience than all their competitors including Mail Online and News UK. Challenge Reach Plc had an ageing set up in place which consisted of 2 x 200kVA Riello MPS series that required battery changes. With this in mind, clamp readings were taken to find the efficiency of the infrastructure. This found that Reach were spending a lot on electricity as efficiency of the equipment was at 70%. A total cost of ownership was completed and we found that we could swap out the equipment with new and this would have a payback of 18 months, which run in line with Reach’s policy for payback on replacing equipment.

It was decided that the best time was during the day when everyone would be onsite and not at home. This would mean there were more staff available to deal with the disruption if any equipment did go down. With disruption possible, to eliminate this the generators were started up just in case to ensure the continuity of the business operations. Once this was in place, our engineers “I'd like to thank you team for all their switch the loading to one UPS to take down the other and efforts over the last two days to replace its strings of batteries whilst keeping the other online. This our two UPS systems. It was a nice change proved difficult as the existing battery racking had to be to work with a team of people who acted removed as the new models take 40 batteries to a string instead of 33. The new open racking equipment had to in a professional way and could be left to accommodate 160 SWL2500s which meant building up half carry out the work without having to be of the rack and moving this all to place once the second micromanaged.” system had been taken down. Barry Clark, Reach Printing Services Over 2 long days of work to ensure the equipment was all in place and paralleled together, the batteries and UPS units were working in tandem. There were no issues on site once the units were bought back online and Reach were able to take the generators offline. This new system will offer 10 year design life batteries along with a 3 year warranty on the UPS, which will give Reach Plc the peace of mind they were after for time to come. Outcome UPS Systems prevented a potentially catastrophic battery and UPS failure by successfully replacing the batteries and UPS units for two 200kVA units which had reached the end of their design life and has now improved the efficiency within the infrastructure. UPS Systems will respond to any future faults within 4 hours all year round, allowing Reach Plc to relax in the knowledge that the network will not be disrupted in the event of a power failure.

  • Reach PLC Summary Response to the Digital Markets Taskforce Call for Evidence
    Reach PLC summary response to the Digital Markets Taskforce call for evidence Introduction Reach PLC is the largest national and regional news publisher in the UK, with influential and iconic brands such as the Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Sunday People, Daily Record, Daily Star, OK! and market leading regional titles including the Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo, Birmingham Mail and Bristol Post. Our network of over 70 websites provides 24/7 coverage of news, sport and showbiz stories, with over one billion views every month. Last year we sold 620 million newspapers, and we over 41 million people every month visit our websites – more than any other newspaper publisher in the UK. Changes to the Reach business Earlier this month we announced changes to the structure of our organisation to protect our news titles. This included plans to reduce our workforce from its current level of 4,700 by around 550 roles, gearing our cost base to the new market conditions resulting from the pandemic. These plans are still in consultation but are likely to result in the loss of over 300 journalist roles within the Reach business across national, regional and local titles. Reach accepts that consumers will continue to shift to its digital products, and digital growth is central to our future strategy. However, our ability to monetise our leading audience is significantly impacted by the domination of the advertising market by the leading tech platforms. Moreover, as a publisher of scale with a presence across national, regional and local markets, we have an ability to adapt and achieve efficiencies in the new market conditions that smaller local publishers do not.

  • THE LIVERPOOL ECHO LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND 10 DECEMBER 1953 (Page 6)
    THE LIVERPOOL ECHO LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND 10 DECEMBER 1953 (page 6) “The Wickedest Man In The World” Aleister Crowley was acclaimed the King of Depravity by the London Press, which also dubbed him the Wickedest Man in the World. Other titles he chose for himself, such as Prince Chioa Khan, Baphomet and The Beast 666. Mountaineer, poet, sex-maniac, drug-fiend and, above all, magician, Crowley was a man who had thrived for years on a dark, satanic notoriety. He was, therefore, the last man to be expected to come to court to claim damages for a libel on his good name. But egotism is more blinding than blindness itself, and Crowley’s egotism had been maturing steadily since he came down from Cambridge at the turn of the century and devoted his violent, unstable energies to experiments in sex, drugs and magic. Over more than 30 years he wrote books (printed privately) in which he described the fruits of his researches. He estab- lished in a Sicilian farmhouse known at the Abbey of Thelema a pagan sex-cult which was intended—under his quasi-divine in- spiration—to rejuvenate the world. Visitors from England went out to the Abbey of Thelema, and returned with strange tales of the rites performed there. Was Expelled Eventually Crowley was expelled by the Italian Government and found himself once more in London. It was then that his egotism—his need for publicity and his need for money to in- dulge his passions—could only be satisfied by success in a sen- sational trial.

  • Tabloid Media Campaigns and Public Opinion: Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Euroscepticism in England
    Tabloid media campaigns and public opinion: Quasi-experimental evidence on Euroscepticism in England Florian Foos London School of Economics & Political Science Daniel Bischof University of Zurich March 3, 2021 Abstract Whether powerful media outlets have eects on public opinion has been at the heart of theoret- ical and empirical discussions about the media’s role in political life. Yet, the eects of media campaigns are dicult to study because citizens self-select into media consumption. Using a quasi-experiment – the 30-years boycott of the most important Eurosceptic tabloid newspaper, The Sun, in Merseyside caused by the Hillsborough soccer disaster – we identify the eects of The Sun boycott on attitudes towards leaving the EU. Dierence-in-dierences designs using public opinion data spanning three decades, supplemented by referendum results, show that the boycott caused EU attitudes to become more positive in treated areas. This eect is driven by cohorts socialised under the boycott, and by working class voters who stopped reading The Sun. Our findings have implications for our understanding of public opinion, media influence, and ways to counter such influence, in contemporary democracies. abstract=150 words; full manuscript (excluding abstract)=11,915 words. corresponding author: Florian Foos, [email protected].

  • The University of Liverpool Racism, Tolerance and Identity: Responses
    The University of Liverpool Racism, Tolerance and Identity: Responses to Black and Asian Migration into Britain in the National and Local Press, 1948-72 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of The University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Matthew Young September 2012 Abstract. This thesis explores the response of national and local newspapers to issues of race and black and Asian immigration in Britain between 1948 and 1972. Scholars have highlighted the importance of concepts of race, identity and belonging in shaping responses to immigration, but have not yet explained the complex ways in which these ideas are disseminated and interpreted in popular culture. The thesis analyses the complex role newspapers had in mediating debates surrounding black and Asian immigration for public consumption. By engaging with concepts of race and tolerance, newspapers communicated anxieties about the shape British culture and society would take in the postwar years. Their popularity granted them opportunities to lead attitudes towards black and Asian people and multiculturalism. The influences of social, political and cultural developments on both the national and local level meant newspapers often adopted limited definitions tolerance which failed to combat racism. In other cases, newspapers actively encouraged racist definitions of belonging which privileged their largely white audiences. In order to understand newspapers‘ engagement with concepts of race and identity, this thesis analyses the various influences that informed their coverage. While the opinions and ambitions of prominent journalists had a significant impact on newspaper policy, the thesis highlights the language and genres newspapers used to appeal to large audiences.

PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Athletics; Cultural Images; Foreign Countries; Imagination; Local History; *Mass Media Effects; *Media Research; *Mythology; *News Media; Soccer; Social Behavior; Socioeconomic Influences; Television Research; *Violence IDENTIFIERS Belgium; *England (Liverpool) ABSTRACT This document analyzes the construction of a mythical representation through television, focusing on the British Broadcasting Company's (BBC) television coverage of the violence which took place at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels prior to the 1985 European Cup Final between Juventus and Liverpool. As bac:mround for this analysis, a concept of Liverpool--variously interpreted and produced to explain local political, economic, social, and sporting events--is examined. The study directs special attention to the way in which commentators coped with the violent scenes which occurred before the football (soccer) match began. It was found that: (1) much of the commentary seemed to be an emotional response tc the unpleasant events that happened; and (2) the particular discourse that resulted was characterized by dominant images of Liverpool, working class youth, and leisure in British society, anda particularly strident attitude which facilitated the production of the television report. Analysis of the BBC reverage revealed that, far from being an objective, balanced, and transparent view of events, the spectacle served to function as a basis for a sustained attack upon Liverpool.
