- Fourth, provide proper notification to your current company of your intent to cancel your existing policy. Submit any necessary down payment along with the completed application for the new policy. As soon as you have the new policy, store the certificate verifying proof of insurance with your vehicle’s registration.
The most important part of this process is to use identical limits and deductibles on every price quote and and to compare as many car insurance companies as possible. This ensures a level playing field and a complete rate analysis.

When should I discuss my situation with an agent?
Always remember that when buying your policy, there really isn’t a one-size-fits-all type of policy. Your financial needs are unique.
These are some specific questions can help discover if your situation will benefit from professional help.
- Will damage be repaired with OEM parts?
- Am I covered if I hit a deer?
- How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
- Are rental cars covered under my policy?
- When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
- Is my camper covered for physical damage?
- Should I drop comprehensive coverage on older vehicles?
- What is motorclub and do I need it?
- Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and may give you better protection.
Can’t I compare rates from local New Orleans auto insurance agents?
A small number of people just want to have an agent’s advice and that can be a smart move Good insurance agents can answer important questions and will help you if you have claims. The best thing about comparing rate quotes online is that you can obtain the best rates and still buy from a local agent.
For easy comparison, once you complete this simple form, your coverage information is sent to insurance agents in New Orleans that give free quotes for your insurance coverage. You won’t need to find an agent on your own since price quotes are sent directly to your email. If you have a need to get a comparison quote from a specific company, just navigate to their website and fill out their quote form.
Choosing the best provider needs to be determined by more than just a low price. Agents should be asked these questions:
- Where would your vehicle be repaired?
- Does the company have a solid financial rating?
- Is working in the agency their full-time job?
- Does the agent have a valid license to sell insurance in Louisiana?
- Do they offer claims assistance after hours?
If you are wanting to find a local agent, it’s helpful to know the different types of agencies from which to choose. New Orleans agents are categorized either exclusive or independent. Both types can do a good job, but we need to point out the differences because it can factor into which agent you choose.
Agents that elect to be exclusive are contracted to one company and examples are Farmers Insurance and State Farm. These agents are unable to provide other company’s prices so you might not find the best rates. Exclusive insurance agents are usually well trained on their company’s products and that enables them to sell even at higher rates.
Below is a short list of exclusive insurance agents in New Orleans who may provide you with comparison quotes.
Andy Bowden – State Farm Insurance Agent
6325 Elysian Fields Ave a – New Orleans, LA 70122 – (504) 288-2219 – View Map
Agents of this type can sell policies from many different companies so they can insure your vehicles with any number of different companies and get the cheapest rates. If you want to switch companies, an independent agent can move your coverage and that require little work on your part. When comparing insurance prices, we recommend you get some free quotes from a couple of independent agencies to get the most accurate price comparison.
The following is a short list of independent insurance agencies in New Orleans that are able to give price quotes.

Wardle found a way around Gatekeeper earlier this year, and Apple patched the issue. But after studying it for a few days, he bypassed Gatekeeper again.
"Instead of them implementing a more generic patch or generic fix, they kind of did just what was the bare minimum," Wardle said. "That's a little worrisome."
His latest findings were presented two weeks ago at the Virus Bulletin security conference in Prague, and Apple has been notified.
Patrick Wardle of Synack has found two issues in Apple's Gatekeeper, which is designed to stop certain applications from installing. Credit: Patrick Wardle/Synack
Wardle talks to Apple's security team regularly about bugs he finds in OS X. They are "sharp guys," he says, but they may be fighting a company culture where usability in many cases trumps security.
Locking down OS X's core
Apple introduced a new defense in OS X El Capitan called System Integrity Protection (SIP), which is makes it a lot harder for malware writers to touch critical OS files.
SIP blocks the most powerful kind of access to the operating system, known as "root." That access is usually only prevented by a single password set by the Mac's user, who has administrative privileges.
If that password is compromised, an attacker with root access can disable other security protections, posing a great risk.
SIP greatly reduces the opportunity for malware writers to put something deeply rooted in OS X, said Rich Trouton, a Mac systems administrator in Middletown, Maryland, who writes the Der Flounder blog.
"People look at it and go 'Apple's not finding a bunch of malware,'" Trouton said. "And that's true at the moment, but the reason for that is that Apple's put a lot work into making OS X a less appealing target."
However, "who knows what the future may bring," he said.
More eyes on the code
Another interesting fact about OS X this year: about four times more software vulnerabilities have been disclosed than in past years.
A list shows 276 flaws have been found this year, which is about four times higher than the average number found annually over the last 15 years, said Claud Xiao, a security researcher with Palo Alto Networks.
"It's a huge increase," Xiao said. "This year, more and more researchers are focused on how to bypass security mechanisms or how to get code to execute remotely."
Malware writers also seemed more tuned into using vulnerabilities to infect OS X. Xiao said that in three cases this year, malware or adware used disclosed vulnerabilities to get onto systems.
Mac malware and adware programs have typically relied on tricking users into installing them rather than exploiting vulnerabilities. Apple's built-in AV product, called XProtect, is regularly updated to block nuisances like adware.

That keeps him from thinking too big-picture and giving himself too much credit when he knows teammates deserve a lion’s share of it.
“I think my turnaround is an attribute to how well we’re playing in front of me,” Holtby said, pointing to shots that were blocked away instead of beating him because of screens. “That’s an attribute to our guys being on top of their game. They’re playing outstanding, and I think we can expect nothing less than that from the rest.”
In that sense, time and experience are on Holtby’s side. Caps players said they will continue to perfect Oates’ system the more they get a chance to play it.
For coach Mark French’s Bears, that was certainly the case. Hershey started 8-12-1-0 and has gone 20-9-2-5 since to climb into a playoff position.
“We often say in hockey there’s no time to think, it’s all about reaction,” French said. “And I think that’s exactly what it was with the system is that early on you’re trying to think if you’re in the right spot, and it slows everything down because of the thought process. And it’s just repetitions about getting to a state where it’s all about reaction.
“I really like the system. We’ve continually been the team down here that’s been in the top five for goals against and I think a lot of that is around the system, and I think goalies would tell you it probably is an easier system to play.”
Easier because when the system is executed correctly, the vast majority of shots come from the perimeter. That’s in part how Holtby starred for the Caps in last year’s playoffs, taking advantage of Dale Hunter hockey, which cut down on quality scoring chances for the opposition with plenty of blocked shots.
“Everyone knows that makes a goalie’s life easy,” Holtby said. “That’s what we’re trying to accomplish here, and it’s a steady progress right now.”
Steady progress with Oates’ system that Carlson knew about, too, from conversations with players in Hershey.
“They had a little bit of a trial period with it, and it took them a lot longer than it took us to kind of get a grasp of it,” Carlson said. “I think the best part about the whole scenario was from Day One, everyone stuck to it when we were losing games and playing bad, guys didn’t come in the room and question anything. We stayed [together] as a team, did the right things, and clearly it took a little bit longer than any of us would like. But in the end, hopefully it works out for the better.”
Oates acknowledged that “it takes awhile for any system to adjust to,” and Holtby knew better than to walk into the Caps’ locker room and question early-season struggles.
“I believed it was going to happen,” he said. “Everyone else, there was shock on everyone’s faces that we were out of the blocks so slow, but I knew it was going to turn around. The system is very good, and it just takes a little bit of time to learn it.”
Buoyed by recent history and the confidence that his teammates’ system play would improve, all Holtby had to do was maintain consistency.
“Some guys would’ve been so rattled by the start that now that the team’s playing well, the goaltending might not have been at the same level,” Kolzig said. “But because of Braden’s belief in himself, he’s able to deliver when the team finally is playing together very well.”

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's book Jyotipunj, a collection of articles on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders, is now available in Marathi.
The edition, translated from Gujarati by Ravindra Dani, was released in Pune Monday, a release here said.
"When we define or discuss secularism, it is only with the feeling that India as a nation comes first and foremost that could truly define the principles of secularism," Modi said at the book release ceremony.
"Jyotipunj" narrates the story of lives of 16 RSS leaders and what Modi learnt from them.
"It is time we imbibed the ideals and experiences of these leaders. A society that does not nurture the roots of its own great legacy can never create history," he said.

Goikoa manufactures for Amazon
At Goikoa we are embarking on a new project as suppliers to the retail giant, Amazon, manufacturing quality sausages for their new and revolutionary physical shops in the UK.
Since last year, Goikoa has been working with enthusiasm on this project to bring our products to the shelves of the physical shops that the American brand has opened on the European continent. We have thus become one of the first Spanish suppliers to Amazon’s physical shops, for whom we manufacture three references of quality sausages under the Amazon brand. Products made with pork of Spanish origin and the best ingredients, with which the brand seeks to conquer its consumers in these new sales spaces. This project is a further step in our expansion process and is in addition to other challenges already achieved by Goikoa, such as the sale of Goikoa products on international marketplaces such as Alibaba or in supermarkets and physical shops in more than 20 countries around the world.
Amazon shops are set to revolutionise the market with a new concept of non-interactive shopping, thanks to its “Just Walk Out” technology that allows customers to shop by simply scanning the Amazon app at the entrance to the shop with their mobile phones. A shop model that is expected to be a great success and which will mark the beginning of Amazon’s expansion process on the European continent, as the UK shops will soon be followed by others in various European cities.

Edouard Vuillard Galleries
Jean-Edouard Vuillard, the son of a retired captain, spent his youth at Cuiseaux (Saone-et-Loire); in 1878 his family moved to Paris in modest circumstances. After his father\'s death, in 1884, Vuillard received a scholarship to continue his education. In the Lycee Condorcet Vuillard met Ker Xavier Roussel (also a future painter and Vuillard\'s future brother in law), Maurice Denis, musician Pierre Hermant, writer Pierre Veber and Lugne-Poe. On Roussel\'s advice he refused a military career and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Pierre Bonnard.
In 1885, Vuillard left the Lycee Condorcet and joined his closest friend Roussel at the studio of painter Diogene Maillart. There, Roussel and Vuillard received the rudiments of artistic training.

Charles was most likely born in Quebec, Canada, and moved to New York City sometime after 1880. He had a publishing company called C.S. Dorion, and was the 8th company to publish Edgar Allan Poe's the Raven, in New York in 1881.
PoliticsDuring the 1890s, Charles Dorian socialized with New York City's Social Democratic Party's elite, and used his quick tongue and self appointed crusading against injustice to help propel his friends political careers.
His first noted case was in the summer of 1893, when bucket shops were becoming a rampant problem in the city, as these "bucket shops" specializing in stocks and commodity futures, as the terms of trade were different for each bucket shop. Lucien Pissarro
French Camden Town Group Painter, 1863-1944
was a French painter, printmaker and wood engraver. Eldest son of the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, he was born in Paris and studied with his father. His works employ techniques of Impressionism and its successor, Neo-impressionism, but he also exhibited with Les XX. From 1890 he lived in London, becoming a British citizen in 1916. While in England he was one of the founders of the Camden Town Group of artists. In 1919, he formed the Monarro Group with J.B.

(Bloomberg) -- A Mexican opposition activist has filed a lawsuit seeking to stop construction of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s $8.9 billion oil refinery, alleging that it is being built on land set aside for environmental protection.
The injunction request, filed in August, says that state oil giant Petroleos Mexicanos is illegally building the Dos Bocas refinery in the president’s home state of Tabasco on an area it promised to conserve and that it redacted public documents to hide the potential ecological damage.
The project “violates the right to a healthy environment and the principal that whoever contaminates pays, as established in the Mexican Constitution,” the lawsuit says. “It would seem Pemex forgot all the examples of forest life that it found in 2007 and that it was obliged to conserve.”
Court papers provided by the legal team of the activist, Emilio Vazquez Rosario, show state authorities have requested numerous delays to get the required documents in order for the case. The latest delay is till January 10. Unlike in many countries, Mexico doesn’t make its court documents publicly available during a case. The government didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Pemex’s pledge to protect the land was made in public government files previously reported on by Bloomberg News.
Last month, Lopez Obrador filed a decree giving his major infrastructure projects national security protections that order authorities to issue provisional permits within five days of their application. It’s unclear whether the decree can be applied retroactively to earlier projects.
Lopez Obrador, known as AMLO, has staked a huge amount of political capital on Dos Bocas. He regularly touts it as a key project to reach gas self-sufficiency and most weeks shows videos of its progress at his morning press conference. The project has been criticized by environmentalists, who say the site hosted a protected mangrove forest, and by financial analysts over its large price tag. It’s expected to begin operating fully in 2023.

Filed in front of Tabasco’s eighth district judge, the lawsuit argues that Pemex made a legally binding commitment in 2006 and 2007 to protect the coastal area and any places including mangrove trees in the zone where the seaside refinery is being built. The Environment Ministry gave Pemex permission to develop oil and gas reservoirs nearby for 20 years -- on the condition that it not build anything new in surrounding zones that contain rare flora and fauna, the files show.
The judge recently dismissed a request by Vazquez to halt the project on the grounds that the refinery has been harmful and could damage the surrounding area. He is yet to rule on the main part of the lawsuit, dealing with whether the project’s authorization was illegal.
In early September, the judge threatened to fine a government agency if it failed to quickly produce various documents for the court. However, no such fine appears to have been handed down.
Energy Secretary Rocio Nahle disputed that there were mangroves on the site in an interview with Bloomberg News in August even though the country’s environment regulator fined a third party in 2019 for chopping them down.
A member of opposition party Movimiento Ciudadano, Vazquez said he’s seeking the injunction in part because sea-level Tabasco is one of the Mexican states most at risk to the effects of climate change. Vazquez spent several years working for the conservative opposition PAN party before joining an unsuccessful attempt to set up an alternative party and ultimately becoming a member of Movimiento Ciudadano, the fourth-largest group in Mexico’s senate.
“It’s incredible the idea of having a Tabascan president with an archaic, arcane project that’s harmful for the environment and the health of Tabascans,” he said in an interview.
The refinery is at the heart of a push by AMLO to revive state energy companies, often at the expense of the environment. Scores of renewable energy projects have been stymied, while the state utility burns hyper-polluting high-sulfur fuel oil. A coal plant was reopened last year. Meanwhile, a $3.4 billion project aimed at reforesting vast areas of jungle has accidentally encouraged the widespread loss of forest coverage. Another of the president’s major infrastructure projects, a tourist railway in the country’s southeast, has courted controversy by threatening rainforest and the habitat of hundreds of endangered jaguars.
The Tabasco lawsuit cites satellite imagery that appears to show more mangroves have been cut down since construction began, allegedly to provide vehicle access to the site. The fact that mangroves continued to be chopped down shows the regulatory arm of the environment ministry, the Security, Energy and Environment Agency (ASEA), has failed to adequately inspect and supervise the refinery, the suit alleges.
ASEA has been run since 2019 by a former advisor of Lopez Obrador, who was rejected by the senate when nominated for several other regulatory jobs.
The injunction application also alleges that, to stop people knowing what damage could occur, the government redacted public versions of the environmental impact studies for the refinery, violating the public’s right to participate in its authorization process.
In the redacted documents, “it’s impossible to tell which three zones make up the project, which makes any scrutiny of its environmental effects impossible,” the suit alleges. “That information would have made it possible for the authorities to be confronted with the reality that there was a mangrove wetland on the site.”
The suit also alleges that Pemex claimed in its permit applications that the refinery would affect a much smaller area than in reality. Pemex’s data “don’t correspond to technical evidence of how gases spread, much less of the environmental impact they will have,” the suit alleges.

This humble bread has been part of our Irish heritage for at least 180 years, it requires nothing more than four simple ingredients, a hot oven and a little time. It reminds me of my mother, shaping it on our counter top at home before baking it in the solid fuel cooker, then afterwards enjoying it at tea time warm from the oven, slathered with butter and maybe a little jam.
My father remembers his mother making it over the open fire in the griddle -traditional three legged pot with a lid - which sat over the open flames suspended by an iron arm, the lid of the griddle in place, covered with hot coals, an ingenious way of cooking the top and bottom of the soda bread simultaneously. He also remembers this as the method for making "Griddle Bread" or "Soda Farls" essentially the same recipe executed slightly differently.
This is a quick bread, requiring very little input from us, no yeast, kneading, rising or proving just a little stirring and then a hot oven to finish off our labours. The addition of raisins changes the purpose of the bread, it goes from something that can be enjoyed with cheese to what we would call a "Tea Bread" which is more than suitable for guests and the table bedecked with silver butter dishes, cups, saucers and good silverware, but it is just as acceptable for the rough and tumble of a family tea time!
Enjoy this St. Patricks Day and why not have it with a piece of Irish Tradition on your table.

At Aussie Stadium in Sydney, Anthony Mundine cruised to a comfortable points decision against Danny Green on Wednesday night in an all-Australian super middleweight grudge match which failed to live up to expectations. With the victory "The Man" secures the WBA number one ranking.
After a good first round for Green, Mundine’s blinding hand speed and defensive wizardry took over as he gradually shut Green out of the contest. From round nine onwards, Danny absorbed considerable punishment but showed great heart and an iron jaw to remain on his feet.
After an even first four rounds, highlighted by the grinding body shots of Green and a couple of nice right hands landed by Anthony, it was evident that "The Green Machine" would have trouble tagging Mundine flush. Employing the shoulder roll of Roy Jones Jr, he frustrated the slower Green by taking the sting out of his heavy shots and countering extremely well when his
opponent was exposed.
The judges scorecards revealed a unanimous decision victory to Mundine by scores of 118-112, 116-113 and 118-111.
After the fight, the two men embraced in centre ring and the bad blood that preceded the contest was forgotten.
Mundine was pleased with his vicory: "He takes a great shot. I hit him a couple of times, he hit me a couple of timesâ€¦ that’s boxing. I respect Dan."
A bitterly disappointed Green paid tribute to his conqueror, "Full credit to Anthony, he was the better man tonight. I have no excuses."


A young lady has cautioned Ghanaians on the foods they buy from public places.
In a video Newshuntermag.com has seen that is fast trending online, the lady showed a slice of meat looking like p3nis in the food (Tuo Zaafi) she bought from an eatery.
She was shocked after seeing the p3nis-like meat.
According to her, she requested for the belly parts of cow meat—but it turns out to be this strange meat when she got to her house.
She, therefore, advised people to be careful about the foods they buy.

Hidden room found in Orelia house where Aaron Pajich was murdered
Police searching the house where autistic teenager Aaron Pajich was murdered found a hidden room clad in plastic sheeting and containing a bloodied towel, a mop and a makeshift gurney constructed from an old shopping trolley.
As evidence in the Supreme Court murder trial of Jemma Victoria Lilley, 26, and her co-accused Trudi Clare Lenon, 43, continued yesterday, it was revealed that the locked and concealed room was only spotted by police on the third day of their search of the Orelia property.
After smashing the lock off with a sledgehammer, police entered to find the walls of the room completely covered with blue tarpaulin and a window covered in black plastic and duct tape.
Sen. Const. Derek Pitcher, a forensics officer with WA Police, described how he spotted what he believed was a clump of human hair snagged in one of the wheels of the gurney.
In his opening remarks this week, prosecutor James Mactaggart said the room could have “provided a convenient place to put Aaron Pajich’s body for a couple of days”.
But there was no blood found on the tiled floor, Const. Pitcher said.
Police, however, did find significant blood spots in the lounge where prosecutors say Mr Pajich was most likely stabbed to death — one mark so extensive that it had soaked through the carpet into the underlay.
Another portion of carpet nearby had been cut away and the area hidden with a rug and lounge.
The jury also heard from Angela McKibbin, the manager of a Girrawheen video store, who said Ms Lilley was an almost daily customer, mostly hiring horror films. She had a store account password of SOS, which stood for Son of Sam.
She also remembered Ms Lilley telling her she wanted to “kill someone ... before she turned 25”.
“She said it was a feeling she had and it was getting stronger ... the desire to kill,” Ms McKibbin told the jury.
Ms McKibbin later reported the conversation to Crime Stoppers after Mr Pajich’s body was found in Ms Lilley’s backyard in June last year.
The trial continues.

Whatever your preferred exercise intensity, it’s also important to choose activities that you enjoy and will stick with over the long term. Walking, biking, hiking, dancing, and gardening are all great forms of aerobic exercise that you can easily integrate into your day. After all, aerobic exercise can greatly improve your health even if you perform it in shorter segments throughout the day.
“I like to say that running is a gift. Not everyone gets that gift. If you’re one of the ones who has been gifted with the ability to run and enjoy it, then treasure that gift. Nurture it and never ever take it for granted,” says Hamilton. “But walking is a wonderful activity and for those who don’t have the ability or desire to run, it can provide huge health benefits. The difference in calorie burn between briskly walking a mile and slowly running a mile is minimal—the more noticeable difference is how long it took you to cover the distance. Walking builds and maintains lower extremity and core strength, helps clear your mind, and, for runners, it’s a great way to have an active recovery day.”
Walking is a great exercise and helps you lose weight. American scientists designed an experiment where obese patients walked together (a concept known as the ‘walking bus’) to their destinations in and around the city. After 8 weeks, their weight was checked, and more than 50% of the participants lost an average of 5 pounds (4). Therefore, it might be a good idea to start walking to and from your nearby destinations, instead of driving your car.
Impaired aerobic capacity, also known as impaired endurance, is a common patient impairment that can limit participation in functional, occupational, and recreational activities. Even functional tasks that require only a few minutes can be limited by aerobic capacity. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to impaired aerobic capacity due to anatomic and physiological changes that occur with aging, greater propensity for sedentary behaviors, and greater risk for disease processes that limit the oxygen transport system.1 In addition, aerobic capacity is directly influenced by the habitual activity pattern of an individual, which may vary across individuals from total inactivity to frequent and intense activity. Any factors that limit habitual physical activity, such as illness, injury, and or travel, will cause adaptations that diminish aerobic capacity. Conversely, any factors that promote habitual physical activity, such as intentional exercise, yard work, and occupation-related physical tasks, will result in adaptations that improve aerobic capacity. In older adults, many physiological, pathological, and psychosocial factors can contribute to restricted physical activity. Figure 12-1 depicts the persistent vicious cycle that can be created when sedentary behaviors, chronic disease, and functional dependency interact.2 This chapter will provide an overview of causes and factors contributing to impaired aerobic capacity in older adults and describes physical therapist patient management (examination, evaluation, diagnosis, and interventions) to address decreased endurance and its impact on function.
Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight (an average nine pounds less) than couch potatoes as they got older. Last year, researchers at the University of Colorado found that regular walking helped to prevent peripheral artery disease (which impairs blood flow in the legs and causes leg pain in one-fifth of elderly people).
In light of the benefits associated with HIIT, Dr. Nose created a regimen of fast walking and gentle strolling, to see if this kind of program might provide greater fitness benefits than walking at a steady pace. The program consisted of repeated intervals of three minutes of fast walking, aiming for an exertion level of about six or seven on a scale of one to 10, followed by three minutes of slow strolling. The results turned out to be very promising. As reported by the "New York Times":13
4. Better memory and cognitive function. A clinical trial of older adults in Japan published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society in 2015 found that after 12 weeks, men and women in a prescribed daily walking exercise group had significantly greater improvements in memory and executive function (the ability to pay focused attention, to switch among various tasks, and to hold multiple items in working memory) compared with those in a control group who were told just to carry on with their usual daily routine.
Dancing, swimming, water aerobics, biking, walking, hiking, climbing steps (two at a time for a more vigorous workout), low-impact dance classes, kick-boxing, all the cardio machines at the gum (treadmill, elliptical, bike, rower, x-c skiing, stair-climber), and many other activities are all examples of types of aerobic or cardio activities, but they can be anaerobic too if they are performed at a high enough intensity. Try riding your bike alongside Lance Armstrong in the French Alps and you'll know what anaerobic exercise means in moments. But then again, riding along on your bike at a leisurely 8-10 mph on the boardwalk at the seashore is the same activity, but at a much lower intensity, much lower heart rate, and much lower oxygen consumption, and so in this case, biking is aerobic. The bottom line is that the intensity at which you perform an activity determines if it's aerobic or anaerobic.
“This has all been scientifically proven,” says Hall. “Dr Darren James, research fellow at South Bank University, has done a study showing all this. WalkActive significantly and statistically improves your posture, increases your walking speed by up to 24%, reduces joint impact, joint stress at the knee and at the ankle and improves your body shape.” It is, unmistakably, a fitness programme, as in, you would undertake it for the same reasons as an aerobics class, to lose weight, or at the very least, redistribute it in a more sightly way. I did several 10-minute walks, and while never out of breath, was certainly more tired at the end than I would normally have been.
Studies have shown that (1) microbial community composition may play an important role in xenobiotic processing in soil and other soil processes (Cavigelli and Robertson, 2000; Balser et al., 2002) and (2) the microbial communities residing at depth are not simply diluted analogs of the surface microbial communities, but exhibit considerable differentiation (Ghiorse and Wilson, 1988; Fritze et al., 2000; Blume et al., 2002). In fact, the microbial communities in the soil subsurface may function differently from those at different depths. Aerobic microbes predominated the surface soil or soil rich in moisture and oxygen, whereas anaerobic microbes predominated the deep soil (Li et al., 2014a; Fierera et al., 2003; Blume et al., 2002).
“Carrying extra weight will increase the intensity and your calories burned without requiring a lot of extra effort, depending on the weight you use,” adds Spraul. "You can hold dumbbells in your hands or put some heavy books in a backpack — whatever works for you! It doesn't have to be complicated. Just make sure that the added weight is not throwing you off balance.”
One Stanford University study found that walking increased creative output by an average of 60 percent. Researchers labelled this type of creativity “divergent thinking,” which they define as a thought process used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. According to the study, “walking opens up the free flow of ideas, and it is a simple and robust solution to the goals of increasing creativity and increasing physical activity.”
This walking calorie burn calculator estimates the calories that you burn while walking any given distance. The calculator takes into consideration the grade of the walking surface that you are on (i.e. the incline or decline), your weight, and the total walking distance and walking time. The incline or decline of the walking surface is taken into consideration because more calories are burned as the incline of the walking surface increases, and less calories are burned as the decline of the walking surface increases. You can read more about the method and equations used to determine calorie burn below the calculator.
Add Weights: Another way to add intensity to a walking routine is to use weights. “Whether you're on the treadmill or you hop off on your ‘rest interval,’ you can add weight to keep your heart rate up and add some strength training into the mix,” says Crockett. “While you're walking on an incline, adding some dumbbell shoulder presses or dumbbell jabs can help you tone your arms and burn even more calories. [Or] hop off the treadmill after your fast interval and try some quick high repetition exercises, such as dumbbell squats, squat to press, weighted jumping jacks or weighted sit ups.”
Complete your workout with a three to five minute cooldown. It will give your muscles a chance to slow down gradually and reduce the risk of dizziness. Individuals who stop aerobic exercise abruptly can experience "pooling" of blood in the legs from standing still right after exertion. Cooling down is important after any aerobic activity, so always make sure to take three to five minutes at the end of your workout to slow down gradually.
Your heart rate increases in direct correlation with the intensity of the exercise. Heart rate levels can vary significantly from one person to another based on fitness level, genetics, environment, and exercise tolerance. If you wish to train based on heart rate, contact your health care provider to determine what the appropriate range is for you. Some medications, most often blood pressure drugs, control heart rate, making it impossible to determine exercise intensity in this way. Ask your physician to determine if you are on any of these medications.
There is a very big discrepancy between the Kcal burned for 30 minute elliptical on your calculator, vs the cound on the machine itself. 100% difference. When my elliptical says 300 Kcal, this calculator says 679. I don’t know which is right, but the guy at the YMCA says trust the machine (though I haven’t entered ht, wt, etc). What is your take on this?
You should walk with great attention to your back foot, as though you’re peeling it off the ground like very strong Velcro. You should pay intense heed to the difference between each of your toes, as they touch and leave the ground. You should be aware of your foot’s contours, and this will activate your large posterior muscle chains, the hamstring and the glutes. Along with your active foot will come an open ankle; if you peel your foot off the ground in segments – so it’s not even thinking about becoming airborne until you come to the pivot point between the pad of your foot and your toes – your ankle will open up and become agile, intelligent.
Aerobic exercises are typically moderate-intensity exercises involving larger muscle groups that are performed over extended periods to improve cardiovascular function. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, cycling, and pool exercises. Regardless of what type of exercise is used in the aerobic exercise program, maintaining an adequate aerobic dose of 40% to 60% of maximal aerobic capacity (maximum heart rate or Vo2max) is necessary (see Table 47.1). Aerobic exercise has been recommended as part of the management of patients with a variety of rheumatologic disorders in a number of published treatment guidelines.2,3,32,33 Aerobic exercise programs have been shown to reduce pain, improve function and quality of life, increase aerobic capacity and endurance, and improve mental health.2,33-35
The thinking has also changed somewhat on whether there’s a threshold minimum workout duration required to reap cardiovascular health benefits from aerobic activity. HHS’s new physical activity guidelines eliminated the long-standing recommendation that exercise had to last at least 10 minutes to count toward your daily total. (4) The new guidelines emphasize that small bouts of activity throughout the day can add up to big health benefits.
"By adding some variables into the mix you can turn a simple walk into a fun, fast interval session, burning a high level of calories, and in turn, crushing your fat cells,” adds Rob McGillivray, Founder of RETROFIT in West Hollywood. “Essentially we burn the most calories by repeatedly raising and lowering the heart rate, as opposed to keeping the heart rate at one steady pace, whether that be high or low. So, if you were to compare the heart rate fluctuations of someone walking up a mixture of steep hills and then add in variations of walking speeds, styles of walking (such as lunging, striding, side cross overs, etc.) to that of someone primarily running at a medium pace on a level gradient, you could see greater all round results on both your body's caloric burn and a greater degree of lower limb muscle groups being targeted. It is also said that hill walking, as opposed to running on a level gradient, can enable you to burn more fat without attacking lean muscle tissue.”
The research, presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, followed 69 people between the ages of 30 and 60. Those who engaged in daily moderate exercise, such as a brisk walk or jog, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and strength training experienced anti-aging benefits that could add an additional three to seven years to your life.1
Classes are generally rated as beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Choose the level that fits your condition. It's no fun taking an advanced class if you're a beginner. It will be hard and frustrating and you won't enjoy the experience. Watch the class or speak with the instructor to help you decide what's right for you. Sometimes it comes down to the class time that fits your schedule, but just be sure to not get in too far over your head.
Whatever makes you feel comfortable is the easy answer. There is no need for fancy spandex or workout clothes, unless that’s what you like. As you start moving farther and faster, you may want to get dedicated fitness walking clothes that wick away sweat or allow you to layer for different weather conditions, but for a beginning fitness walker, comfort trumps everything else.

In July 2018, IATA announced that it had reached an agreement with CFM International (CFM) that will strengthen competition in the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) market for CFM engines, a 50/50 partnership between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines. In addition, we insert sector surveys (for example. B capitalization of aircraft depreciation and maintenance costs, paperless supply chains, CEP) and projects (e.g. B, standardization of maintenance contracts, aircraft leasing and maintenance reserves) for the benefit of the company community. The details of Contributor Iryna Khomenko Iryna is currently working at IATA on an industry presentation agreement for engine shop visits and harmonized documents for aircraft rental transfer. Prior to joining IATA, she worked for six years as head of maintenance and financial engineering at Aerosvit Airlines in Ukraine. Its missions included financial and economic aspects of the airline`s technical operations. Iryna began her career as an economist in Ukrainian – Mediterranean Airlines, after earning her master`s degree in management and economics. The Aircraft Availability Document (pdf) aims to define the different types of availability on the basis of a common approach developed by aircraft operators and manufacturers, the measure being based on downtimes.
The different downtime metrics are based on data collection for aircraft hours of service using the ATA Spec 2000 Out of Service data recording. It identifies aircraft unavailability drivers in two main categories: planned maintenance operations and unforeseen operations, in order to identify all possible causes that make an aircraft no longer available. In order to improve the efficiency of maintenance contracts, the Ama Master is available for use in the industry. We offer a unique analysis of data and benchmarks with more than 50 airlines, which account for 25% of fleet and maintenance costs worldwide. Paper Component Maintenance Cost Management (pdf) offers a CMC ventilation method with a brief description of each category. In addition, examples of good practice are provided to address the most common component maintenance problems. The Maintenance Cost Conference (MCC) is the annual MCTG event that takes place for three days in the fall in a different location with a different theme each year. Aircraft maintenance experts meet to discuss hot topics and industry trends.
The conference usually welcomes an average of 150 delegates. As part of the agreement, CFM adopted a series of „codes of conduct“ that will enhance the capabilities of third-party MRO engines and services on the CFM56 and new LEAP series engines. Among the many elements of the agreement, CFM agreed: Download the mcTG Toolset (zip) to transmit your maintenance cost data to MCTG. The IATA Maintenance Cost Technical Group (MCTG) – formerly known as the Maintenance Cost Task Force (MCTF) – is the only voluntary group of airlines that collects and analyzes maintenance costs. The Aircraft Leases Manual (pdf) is intended for engineers working in the airline`s technical/technical department, as well as technical representatives of leasing companies, and provides guidance on leasing issues during the lifecycle of the life cycle. This document is similar to THAT of WADA, but it applies to the module. Each year, we collect maintenance cost data from more than 50 airlines worldwide (about a quarter of the global fleet and MRO expenses). The Alternate (PMA) Parts and Approved (non-OEM) Repairs (pdf) manual provides guidelines and best practices for airlines to reduce maintenance costs by using replacement spare parts (z.B.

Members of the North Carolina track and field team competed in the NCAA Championships from Wednesday through Saturday in Austin, Texas. Redshirt first-year Madison Wiltrout and redshirt junior Nicole Greene won first team All-America honors, while the men’s 4x400 relay earned second team All-America honors.
The men’s 4x400 relay team kicked off the event for the Tar Heels on Wednesday, composed of sophomore Isaiah Palmer, junior Ari Cogdell, sophomore Jadon Johnson and sophomore Ryan Saint-Germain. The team placed 10th out of 22 teams with a time of 3:05.11, a season best, to earn second team All-America honors for the season.
Adverse weather conditions on Thursday pushed back the women’s javelin toss to Friday. Wiltrout, however, still performed at the exceptional level she has all season, as she threw for 181 feet and one inch and placed third in the event. This mark gave Wiltrout a first team All-America honor.
The last event for the Tar Heels was the women’s high jump Saturday afternoon. Greene continued to excel in the event as she has done all season for North Carolina. With a jump of 6 feet 1.5 inches, Greene placed a close second and missed first place by half an inch. Greene's jump earned her first team All-American honors, however.

— HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) September 29, 2020
“We have launched a new Emirati project to explore the moon,” he said on Twitter on Tuesday. “It will be an Emirati-made lunar rover that will land on the surface of the moon by 2024.”
Sheikh Mohammed also said that the rover — named “Rashid” after his father who is credited with modernising Dubai — will cover “areas not yet reached in previous exploration missions”.
The project marks another first for the UAE, making it the first trip to the moon by an Arab country.
Sheikh Mohammed said the lunar mission was part of the country’s space strategy to build new knowledge-based and scientific capabilities.
The Dubai Media Office said that the 10-kilogramme (22 pound) rover will be an integral part of efforts to build the first settlement on Mars in 2117— one of the UAE’s most ambitious plans.

Dermatological conditions are intimately related to stress. Stress can affect, reveal or even exacerbate a number of skin disorders, including alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pruritus, herpes, lichen planus, rosacea and urticarial. On the other hand, the skin disease itself could induce a secondary stress for the patient, influencing his or her quality of life. There is increasing evidence that stress influences disease processes and contributes to inflammation th…

Boundaries are an important part of healthy relationships. They allow you to feel safe, comfortable, and valued within your relationship and ensure that both you and your partner’s wants, needs, fears, and limits are respected. Talk to your partner about each other’s boundaries to make sure that you both feel safe and comfortable within the relationship. Remember, this is an ongoing conversation, and it is important to keep communicating with your partner as your boundaries change and develop. Just because you were okay with something at the beginning of your relationship, does not mean that you can change your mind about it later on.
Here are some great tips and guidelines to help you set up boundaries within your relationship:
- Before talking to your partner about boundaries, take some time to reflect on what you want and need to feel safe and respected within your relationship. Then, when you are ready, communicate these with your partner.
- Listen openly to what your partner needs from you and be respectful of his/her boundaries.
- It is important to respect one another’s independence and allow for time apart. You and your partner should be allowed to spend time with friends and family and engage in activities you enjoy by yourselves.
- Don’t rush into getting physical with your partner before you are ready. It’s okay to take things at your own pace. Set up boundaries about how far each of you wants to go and communicate if anything changes.
- With technology playing an increasingly bigger role in relationships, it is important to set up digital boundaries. Consider keeping your passwords private even if you trust your partner. By making sure that your passwords are only something you know, you can keep control of your information.
- It is also important to set boundaries about what you are okay with sending through text messages or social media private messaging, because once you send an image or message, you no longer have control over who can access it. If your partner sexts you and/or demands that you sext them, you should be able to tell them that you aren’t comfortable with it without them getting angry or upset with you.
We encourage you to think about the boundaries in your relationship and talk to your partner about what you both need to feel safe and respected. It’s never too late to set up boundaries or to make changes to the ones you already have in place!

- 300g of shredded roast chicken (or diced and cooked from scratch if you prefer)
- 2 onions
- 3 small carrots
- 150g frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon of thyme leaves
- 1.4 litres of chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Fry the thyme leaves, onions and carrots with the olive oil for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken and stir for a few minutes until the chicken is hot throughout before serving.
If you prefer a thicker consistency rather than a broth, pour half of the soup into a blender and blitz until smooth. Add it back into the pan with the rest of the soup and simmer until hot all the way through.
This recipe will make around 4 servings, so why not freeze into individual portions so you can defrost and eat at a later date?

Ten Cent Town
Went out for dinner last night at at place in NW Portland called The Canvas. A little bistro in the old warehouse district of alphabet streets, this being on Upshur, getting close to the river. An arty place -- you can actually sit and draw or paint using materials they'll supply. We went because our massage therapist, Diana, was doing a musical gig. She's had several bands over the years, and is now in a trio doing eclectic stuff -- covers from Springsteen to Fogerty to originals, folk, rock, country. That's Diana, KC and David.
She's an accomplished musician, plays guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, and has a great voice, and even though they've only been practicing for a little while together, the harmonies were pretty tight. They sounded a lot better than the vid I got.
The bistro had a not-so-good sound system, and the cam and mike on an iPod Touch are not what you'd consider first-rate. Or second- or third-rate, but it was what I had, and at least you can get an idea of how they sounded. I stuck it up on YouTube -- the iPod doesn't want to email big files, and it was either that or break it into three or four chunks to mail to myself, then cut them together. This gives you a little sharper video, but there's that matching music and lyrics that needs a delicate touch.
Next up, we're going to have to go to the White Eagle, in the Mississippi district, since the NFU's hang out there and sometimes do open mikes ...

A double batch of Chex Holiday Party Mix. I used fresh garlic for a change. And lots of Tabasco. Hollywood was my sous chef all day. She prefers to bake sweets, but I had other ideas. We'll get to the sweets tomorrow. We did make a batch of fudge. I was pretty proud it turned out. I've wasted many pounds of sugar making fudge and other candies over the years.
These spiced nuts are served at the Gramercy Tavern in New York. I used peanut and pecans because I had those on hand. The nuts are sweet, salty, and spicy. Delicious. They would be great with a festive cocktail.
I packed the Chex mix into bags for sharing. Remember when they called this stuff Nuts & Bolts? I love all the variations of the recipe. It's different every time I make it, and so much better than the bagged stuff.
Sunday's roast chicken. Inspector Gadget said this one was only the second biggest in the meat department. He tries to snag the biggest chicken every week. It sure was good. Good thing, because we'll be eating leftovers for a day or two.
Wishing everyone in blogland a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

No, not me. The stamp set silly! I needed to make some get well cards and the first set that came to mind was Under the Weather. I think it's a cute little set that would make me smile if I was feeling sick.
Wendybell and I loved it so I had to some-what case it.
The base card is Really Rust that I stamped the image from Fresh Fillers with Really Rust ink and then the Ah-Choo from Under the Weather in Ruby Red ink. I set the card aside and took a piece of Really Rust cs and stamped the bowl of soup image with Really Rust ink along it. I had to make a mask to do so, then adhered it to a piece of Basic Black cs. Then I stamped the image again with black ink onto white cs, colored it, cut it out and pop dotted it to the black and rust piece. I took part of the sentiment and stamped it with Real Red ink on to white cs and placed it just under the black and rust piece and added it to the card. I added Basic Black and white cs to the inside and the rest of the sentiment and I was complete.
SC217. I stamped the images from Under the Weather and colored them in. I punched them out with my 1 1/4" square punch and adhered them to a piece of Pumpkin Pie that I punched out with my scallop square punch. The base card is Riding Hood Red that I layered with a piece of Pumpkin Pie that I ran thru my cuttlebug with the circles folder. I added a length of ribbon to the card before I layered a piece of Summer Picnic DP and then added the images to it.
before. I just moved things around and switched colors. I stamped the images from Under the Weather, colored them with pencils & gamsol and cut them out then layered them on to a piece of Bazzill textured cs. The chicken "feet" are stamped from The Best of Cluck in Chocolate Chip ink. The base card is Garden Green that I layered with a piece of DP from Summer Picnic. I stamped part of the sentiment and added a couple pieces of ribbon to that layer and then I adhered the stamped images to the card.
Please stick around - I will be announcing something BIG later this afternoon and you won't want to miss it!

Pilot badger cull declared a ‘success’... but ministers halve targets for the number of animals to be killed
Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, will declare that the pilot badger cull has been a success, but admit that ministers have nearly halved targets for the number of animals to be killed.
Farmers were licensed to shoot a total of 4,940 badgers in west Somerset and west Gloucestershire in moves the Government argues are essential to curb the spread of bovine tuberculosis in cattle.
That figure is being reduced to 2,670 after the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) slashed estimates of the number of badgers in the two areas targeted for a cull.
It believes the badger population could have slumped because of last year's harsh winter and a lack of food for the animals.
The programme has proved highly controversial with demonstrations by animal rights activists and warnings that it could prove counterproductive by dispersing infected animals across the country.
Mr Paterson will tell MPs today that ministers regard the Somerset cull, which has just ended, as a success with 850 badgers killed over 40 days. This is still short of a revised target for the county of 1,020.
The Environment Secretary will announce that the culling company is applying to Natural England, which is overseeing the programme, for a short extension of the cull in Somerset in an effort to enable it to hit its new target.
A Defra source said the Somerset cull was making “very good progress... but an extension could make more progress towards that target”.
The source said the pilot “appears to have been successful” with no concerns over the safety or humaneness of the programme.
“The chief vet has advised this outcome should deliver clear disease benefits as part of a four-year cull,” he added.
The target for the number of badgers to be shot in Gloucestershire, where the cull ends next week, is being cut from 2,860 to 1,650.
The source denied that the targets had been reduced to help portray the cull as a success. He said the original calculation of the badger population that the culling company was operating against was “almost certainly the right estimate” in 2012. He said: “As soon as we got new data we updated that.”
The source disclosed that 240 culled badgers had been examined to check whether they had been humanely killed, with concerns raised over the shooting of one animal.
