The elliptical offers a lower impact workout than the treadmill. For older adults suffering from arthritis and joint pain it is the better option. The elliptical also is a cross-training option for runners. And many ellipticals have handlebars that make it a whole body machine by working the chest, back, triceps and bi...
Both the treadmill and elliptical have a risk of injury associated with them. The treadmill can worsen existing knee and hip pains at higher intensities. Keep the speed and incline low if you have a pre-existing injury. Pushing too hard on the treadmill can also cause bursitis or tendinitis in the knee even without a p...
Anyone over 50 should see a doctor before starting an exercise program. Maintain proper posture and always look forward when using either machine.

New Delhi: In a bid to reduce the huge numbers of fake numbers of Permanent Account Numbers (PAN), the central government deactivated 11 lakhs PANs which violated the rules, the concerned ministry said Monday.
Minister of State for Finance Santosh Kumar Gangwar told Rajya Sabha that 11 lakh PANs have been identified and deleted or deactivated till July 27.
According to government's rules and regulations, no person is entitled to hold more than one PAN. A penalty of Rs 10,000 is liable to be imposed under section 272B of the Income-tax Act, 1961 if the rule is violated.
Follow the link given as under to check if your PAN is one of those deactivated by the government.

Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a code which acts as an identification for Indian nationals, especially those who pay Income Tax. It is a unique number, 10-character alpha-numeric identifier, issued to all judicial entities identifiable under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.
Sometimes a PAN is also issued to foreign nationals, such as investors, subject to a valid visa, and hence, it is not acceptable as a proof of Indian citizenship.
In this photo provided by Jay Rutherford, smoke rises from a burning truck packed with fireworks after it exploded on Interstate 15 near Ivanpah, Calif., close to the Nevada state line Thursday, July 2, 2015. The Chevrolet box van had ignited shortly before 1:30 p.m., burning to the ground and clogging the main artery ...
Jay Rutherford and his bandmates were mesmerized by the billowing smoke and small "psychedelic explosions" emanating from the van on the side of the freeway.
"We had the fantasy it was filled with fireworks because it was exploding," Rutherford told a reporter by phone while still on the road from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
A minute later, he was incredulous — "It was? Are you serious?"
The Chevrolet box van was packed with fireworks and had ignited along southbound Interstate 15 Thursday near the Nevada border shortly before 1:30 p.m., burning to the ground on the side of a Southern California freeway and clogging the main artery between Los Angeles and Las Vegas for hours.
The van closed southbound lanes for nearly an hour and backed up traffic several miles into Nevada, said California Highway Patrol Officer Ryan Camara. No one was injured.
San Bernardino County firefighters found the van entirely engulfed in flames and the popping sound of fireworks going off, said spokeswoman Tracey Martinez.
Rutherford, 31, was driving to Los Angeles to continue a two-week tour with his Nashville, Tennessee-based band Los Colognes when group saw the billowing smoke and stalled traffic ahead.
They drove by at 15 mph, watching sparks spiral off the van parked on the side of the freeway. Their guess was the sparks were the result of fireworks or an ice cream truck that caught fire.
"We thought it was a truck filled with fireworks that got too hot because of the way sparks were spiraling out of it," Rutherford said. "There were mini sparks and explosions going on. It appeared alive and dynamic unlike other road fires I've seen."
The van driver fled before authorities arrived and hasn't been found.

MSNBC Host: Is It Okay To Make Fun Of Kim Jong-un?
So, President Donald Trump delivered his address to the United Nations. He slammed North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela. He called North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un “rocket man,” which apparently is very, very problematic. MSNBC’s Katy Tur asked whether it was okay to make fun of the North Korean madman.
Tur has not hidden her distaste for Donald Trump. She wrote in her book, Unbelievable, that she felt “bile” in the back of her throat when the real estate magnate beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. She also questioned whether Trump was visiting Texas too soon after Hurricane Harvey ravaged the Houston-area.
McConnell announced during a press conference Tuesday afternoon that he would send the so-called Green New Deal measure to the Senate floor for a vote "to see how they feel about the Green New Deal" -- a tactic he's used in recent years to put vulnerable opponents on the record supporting or opposing controversial poli...
Republicans are gearing up to make the Green New Deal a key campaign issue heading into the 2020 race. President Donald Trump took aim at the resolution at a rally in El Paso, Texas , on Monday, decrying it as "socialism" and painting elements of the proposal as pie-in-the-sky dreaming.
"I really don't like their policies of taking away your car, taking away your airplane flights, of 'let's hop a train to California,' or 'you're not allowed to own cows anymore!'" he told the crowd.
Markey's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on a Senate floor vote.
Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, another cosponsor of the Green New Deal who has said he has no plans to run, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday he thinks some version of the plan is "absolutely realistic."
But others aren't as ready to make a decision one way or the other. Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is mulling a 2020 run, tiptoed around questions on the topic during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday morning, declining to take a firm position on the proposal.
"I support a Green New Deal and aggressively addressing climate change and what it means with infrastructure and other ways," Brown initially told reporters. "I'm not going to take position on every bill that's coming out," he said of Ocasio-Cortez and Markey's resolution.
When asked how he would vote if it were to come to the Senate floor, Brown said, "I don't know... I'm going to do my job and take positions on issues that are imminently coming to the floor soon and on the ones I choose to. I'm not going to analyze every bill that some people with a lot of big ideas are proposing."
In July of 2017, Republicans brought forward a single-payer health care amendment for a vote, which failed 0-57, all Democrats voting against it. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the maneuver as "pure cynicism, pure politics" at the time. And in earlier votes on former President Barack Obama's budget proposals, De...
Montreal has been in the process of upgrading its water filtration plant in Pierrefonds for a dozen years, and by all indications it's not about to stop.
Montreal has been in the process of upgrading its water filtration plant in Pierrefonds for a dozen years, and by all indications it’s not about to stop.
Successive administrations at city hall have said investments are necessary to bring the operations at the Gouin Blvd. W. plant — one of six facilities on the island that supply drinking water to residents and businesses in the city and the island suburbs — up to “new” provincial norms established in 2001, enlarge its ...
But by the time Montreal awards the next batch of contracts over the next year to carry on with the project to modernize the Pierrefonds building, the spending on that one facility will have reached between $90 million and $100 million, an examination by the Montreal Gazette has found.
That’s nearly double the city water department’s publicly touted estimate of $53.6 million for the upgrades at the Pierrefonds plant, which were supposed to end in 2012. And neither the estimate nor the projection includes the bill for engineering and architecture work. Those professional consulting fees on their own r...
The city is on the verge of awarding a major engineering contract to prepare for new construction work in the plant’s treatment area. The work is supposed to bring the protracted renovation project to a close. But maybe not.
The public tender documents for the coming engineering contract, obtained by the Montreal Gazette, reveal that the upgrade project has been drawn out so long that certain work will need to be redone and some parts that weren’t planned for upgrades are now, well, obsolete.
So far, the city has spent about $73 million through construction contracts awarded between 2004 and 2010, one of which was topped up in 2012. The costs have been financed through a special tax created by the administration of former mayor Gérald Tremblay in 2003 after it announced a grand Chantier de l’eau that was su...
The city continues to levy the special tax, which raised $300 million in revenue for Montreal in 2015 alone. In 2016, that tax cost the owner of an average single-family home $431.
The amount spent on the Pierrefonds facility appears to be a steep investment for a plant that supplies just three per cent of the island’s potable water.
What’s more, it turns out that some experts warned the city years ago that expanding the plant’s capacity, for which most of the millions of dollars of the upgrade project have since been spent, wasn’t even necessary.
The Montreal Gazette’s examination of the contracts awarded for the Pierrefonds plant over the years also found patterns that raise questions about the oversight of the project. Among other things, the examination found close bid prices, contract splitting and altered price estimates when contract bids came in high. An...
The city has known for years that the Pierrefonds project was going to cost more than originally thought, internal documents show.
In February 2009, nearly two years after first estimating it would cost $51.7 million to upgrade the plant, SNC-Lavalin/Dessau-Soprin, the consortium chosen to write the plans and specifications for the upgrades to the water filtration plants, wrote to a city project manager to say it had revised that estimate to $72.7...
The consortium’s letter attributed $10.6 million of the overrun to anticipated inflation in construction costs between 2007 and 2011. The rest was for extra work requested by the city, and “necessary” additional work, such as reinforcing new structures at the plant.
Meanwhile, a civil service report accompanying one of the contracts in 2010 explained that the initial overall budget for upgrades to three of the city’s plants — Pierrefonds, Atwater and Charles-J. Des Baillets — had grown because of forecasted inflation of 37 per cent in the non-residential construction market from 2...
The civil service report and the engineers’ letter were written two to three years before the Charbonneau Commission would hear testimony that Montreal construction contracts had been inflated because engineering firms and construction firms colluded during the same period of most of the Pierrefonds plant contracts, ch...
Unlike Pierrefonds, however, the projects to upgrade the Atwater and Charles-J. Des Baillets filtration plants, which supply over 88 per cent of the drinking water on the island and comprise multiple buildings, are apparently close to being on budget. The city says the bill is a little under $242 million combined for t...
What’s more, the work to upgrade the island’s two biggest plants is nearly complete, the city says.
At the Pierrefonds facility, meanwhile, the administration of Mayor Denis Coderre is about to embark on the new bout of spending.
The coming construction contract for the Pierrefonds plant is meant to replace five contracts worth $18 million that had been awarded between 2012 and 2015 for electrical, structural and mechanical upgrades in the treatment zone of the Pierrefonds plant but that elected officials voted in November 2015 to cancel before...
The city water department had recommended tearing up the contracts because a holdup in awarding a contract for some of the work in the treatment zone in 2013 had caused the other contracts targeting the treatment zone to be delayed. It was now impossible to co-ordinate the availabilities of the contractors whose work h...
The city incurred $857,709 in penalties and expenses by cancelling the five contracts. The city is also being sued for $8.23 million by an entrepreneur on a sixth contract, the consortium Veolia UTE Pierrefonds, for cancelling its 2010 contract to increase the maximum production capacity of the Pierrefonds plant. Work ...
Yet the coming construction contract for the plant won’t just replace the $18 million worth of cancelled contracts, it turns out.
The city plans to add more work because the overhaul at the Pierrefonds plant has gone on for so long, the public tenders package for the engineering contract says.
The call for tenders informs bidders that the previous engineering work is out-of-date, some equipment has become obsolete and work that was awarded under previous contracts wasn’t completed.
As a result, the engineering contract that’s about to be awarded will require the winning firm to conduct a “series of comprehensive surveys in order to confirm the scope of work defined” for the five now-cancelled contracts. The engineering firm will also be required to update the plans and specifications for the work...
The city says it has no choice now but to carry on the upgrade project at the Pierrefonds plant to meet the province’s 2001 norms.
The plant’s new ozonation and disinfection systems still need to be connected, filters need to be shut off to prevent the spread of ozone and the chemical systems at the plant need to be renovated, city spokesperson Philippe Sabourin said.
Before the upgrade project, the Pierrefonds plant, which is strategically located in the West Island, was often perilously surpassing its production capacity in the summer to meet higher demand.
But the city was warned in 2008 that it didn’t need to expand the capacity of the Pierrefonds plant. Another of the island’s water filtration plants, located in the suburb of Pointe-Claire but managed by Montreal through the island council, was under-utilized, the director of engineering for Pointe-Claire wrote in a br...
The city could tap into the Pointe-Claire plant’s underused production capacity to lower the demand on water at the Pierrefonds plant, thereby making it unnecessary to spend so much money to increase the capacity at Pierrefonds, the brief said.
Moreover, the Pointe-Claire plant had additional capacity to produce 280,000 cubic metres of water per day down the road because on top of its existing 10 filters, it had six more filters sitting idle that were built in 1992 for future use, the brief said. It also noted that other equipment at the plant could easily be...
In its report, the council committee recommended the administration ask the city water department to consider Pointe-Claire’s suggestions and “revise and re-evaluate” the plans for the water plants on the West Island.
There’s no indication of whether the water department responded to the suggestion at the time.
Today, however, the department says that it forecasted production and demand at the two facilities to 2025 and concluded that both Pointe-Claire and Pierrefonds would be at or beyond their capacity by 2025.
“According to our knowledge at the time, the production capacity of the Pointe-Claire and Pierrefonds plants would have gone, respectively, from 80 per cent to 99 per cent and from 131 per cent to 153 per cent,” Sabourin said.
In its brief, Pointe-Claire pointed out its disagreement with Montreal’s calculation method. The plant in Pointe-Claire was at 68-per-cent capacity and would be at 54 per cent in 2025, the brief said.
At any rate, the city now says it’s examining its needs and the role of each water plant on the West Island. “All scenarios to provide drinking water to the West Island are being analyzed,” including the number of water plants, the capacity of each and the possibility of connecting different sectors between them, Sabou...
That said, transferring part of Pierrefonds’ network to Pointe-Claire’s network “would involve major investments,” Sabourin said.
Any change now would be after the fact, anyway.
The contracts already awarded for the Pierrefonds plant increased its production capacity to 180,000 cubic metres a day from 96,000 cubic metres, and its distribution capacity is now 168,000 cubic metres a day.
Meanwhile, the council committee’s recommendation calling on the water department to consider Pointe-Claire’s suggestion isn’t the only part of the committee’s report that was ignored.
Another committee recommendation called on the water department to provide the committee with an annual report on the costs and progress of the work to upgrade the Pierrefonds, Atwater and Des Baillets plants.
The water department provided two reports on the city’s Chantier de l’eau project to the committee for 2011 and 2012, and those reports included the water plants, Sabourin said.
There hasn’t been another report since.
MUMBAI: BBC has announced the revamping of its journalism guidelines and the creation of its own journalism training college as part of its damage control exercises after the bruising battle it had with the British government over its justification for the Iraq invasion.
BBC director general Mark Thompson is quoted in media reports as saying that the guidelines would be implemented at the earliest.
Recommendations in the Neil report, an internal review into how to learn the lessons of the Hutton inquiry, include general points like renewed emphasis on core values of accuracy, serving public interest, impartiality, independence and accountability.

"The BBC should also set up a college of journalism, led by an academic, to improve training and standards," said a report published on the network's website.
The BBC's reputation was sullied after judge Lord Hutton, who led the investigation on the scandal over BBC's reporting on Britain's pre-war intelligence about Iraq, harshly criticised the 80-year-old organisation for a May 2003 report that had quoted an anonymous source as saying the government had 'sexed up' evidence...
