10 best auto insurance companies: 2014 customer satisfaction rankings

10 best auto insurance companies: 2014 customer satisfaction rankings

car

USAA, State Farm and Farmers earned the highest scores from both auto and home insurance customers in Insure.com’s annual customer satisfaction study. It is USAA’s third year as the highest-rated auto and home insurer in the survey.
Insure.com’s 2014 survey spanned 3,835 current customers of 15 large insurers in auto, home and health insurance, and 14 in life insurance. Ratings are based on five measurements:
• Customer service
• Claims satisfaction
• Value for price paid
• Percent who plan to renew
• Percent who would recommend the company

In the auto insurance category, USAA scored well across the board but did particularly well in measurements for renewal (95 percent of customers surveyed said they planned to renew) and recommendations (84 percent have or would recommend USAA). The insurer sells only to members of the military and their families.
State Farm and Farmers also garnered strong scores in all auto insurance measurements but were outpaced by USAA in renewal and recommendation ratings.

Making decisions
We also asked customers their reasons for deciding to buy from their insurers. Flo is paying off: Progressive has the highest number of customers who made their decision based on seeing a TV commercial (18 percent), followed closely by Allstate (17 percent) and Geico (16 percent). USAA had the lowest percentage of customers (4 percent) who chose the company based on a commercial.

Methodology
Insure.com conducted surveys of 3,835 insurance customers nationwide in February and March 2014 to collect 9,586 company reviews. Only current customers of the insurers on our lists were surveyed. The survey was not open to the general public on the Insure.com website. We collected reviews for auto, home, health and life insurance carriers. Consumers answered questions about their levels of satisfaction with their insurers, and each answer was assigned a point value. Points were then averaged and totaled for each company.
A.M. Best ratings do not affect the scores but are provided as a supplementary resource. The “discounts” and “coverage options” information for auto insurance carriers also does not affect the scores.
We collected data for 15 large companies in each category, so not all companies are represented in the study. The companies for which we collected data were then ranked. The top three companies in each category earned Insure.com's "People's Choice Award." In the life insurance category, a tie for third place resulted in four insurers receiving the award.

Top tips for a healthy pregnancy – Part 1

Top tips for a healthy pregnancy – Part 1

Pregnancy is a very important phase in a woman’s life, not only for her, but also for the unborn child. It is in the woman’s interest to make this journey safe and healthy to achieve the end result of a healthy baby.

Top tips for healthy pregnancy

Here are some pointers to make sure you achieve his goal.

  1. If you think you are pregnant or even if you plan to get pregnant, plan a visit to your doctor and make sure you are doing everything right to conceive; from eating the right food to avoiding alcohol and smoking. Even being in a smoke filled room is an absolute no. If you are pregnant, you may be required to take supplements in addition to your food. Vitamins like folic acid, iron, calcium and even multi-vitamins are sometimes needed to fill in the gaps. Folic acid, in particular is very important in the initial stages to prevent neurological problems in the baby.
  2. Make sure to discuss your food habits with your doctor. You may be advised to include cereals like ragi, whole wheat, jowar or bajra in your diet as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. It is a good idea to reduce processed food, junk food, fried food and sweetmeats as they tend to have empty calories that increase your weight but do not supply essential elements that the body needs. The importance of a balanced diet during pregnancy cannot be emphasized enough.
  3. If you have countless cups of coffee in a day, cut back now. All caffeine containing beverages should beminimised or preferably stopped. Substitute with green tea or low fat milk with honey.
  4. Talk to your doctor about how much weight you should gain during the course of your pregnancy. If you are underweight, you should put on twelve to eighteen kilos during the nine months, but if you are overweight, ten kilos is the upper limit.
  5. Learn to do Kegel’s exercises. This set of exercises increases the tone of the vaginal and perineal muscles and eases the pain during labour and delivery. Another important aspect and means to control pain is by learning the correct way to breathe. Lamaze is a form of breathing that you and your partner can learn and practise so ensure a smooth labour.

Some hospitals and nursing homes encourage you to attend antenatal classes where all these aspects are covered and you are encouraged to ask questions and erase your doubts.

In the next part we’ll tell you more about the types of birth, medications and lifestyle changes that may have to make once the child arrives.

10 diet dos and don’ts during pregnancy by expert dietician Naini Setalvad

10 diet dos and don’ts during pregnancy by expert dietician Naini Setalvad

1

Naini Setalvad, a renowned nutritionist and diet and obesity consultant gives out some handy dos and don’ts for mothers-to-be about eating habits.

1: Every pregnant woman needs to understand that she is NOT eating for two people. She only requires 300 more calories than her normal diet.

2: You need to get your required number of calories from all food groups and not just fat.

3: Eat lots of leafy greens. They are a good source of iron which helps our red blood cells carry oxygen better. More oxygen in the blood means better nutrition of various parts of the body leading to better health of you and your baby.

4: Include dried figs in your diet to satisfy your sweet cravings and to prevent constipation. They are also a good source of calcium.

5: Sprinkle sesame seeds on your salads. They are packed with folic acid which is essential in the proper DNA synthesis of the growing foetus and improves the all-round health of a pregnant mother.

6: Eat good quality protein. It can also be mixed with green vegetables for example, mix dal and palak to make a healthy dish.

7: Add a vegetable juice or soup to your diet plan. This can be had in-between meals as a small snack instead of gorging on unhealthy, readymade stuff.

8: You don’t have to glug down too many glasses of milk. This is a misconception that many mothers have which needs to be changed.

9: Not all mothers-to-be have cravings during pregnancy. Cravings normally set in when the meals aren’t balanced. Once you start eating healthy at the right time, they will decrease. An Indian thali is very well-balanced as it has different flavours like salty, sweet, spicy, pungent, etc. When all the different taste buds are satisfied, the cravings decline.

10: Many women suffer from morning sickness in the first three months. To beat this, they can try eating dried toast or ginger juice as these help relieve nausea

The 20 Greatest Disney Animated Movies of All Time

The 20 Greatest Disney Animated Movies of All Time

0

Few movie studios command as much respect and enthusiasm as Disney, who built their name and legacy on some of the best animated movies ever made. With dozens of features since 1937, the company’s library of animated films is unmatched by anyone not named Hayao Miyazaki and many of their movies have forever shaped the way we watch films and absorb popular culture.

And that’s why picking a top 20 is so insanely difficult. How do you pick only 20 films from a catalog with so much greatness? Well, with ‘Frozen’ now in theaters, we figured we’d take a shot.

First, you start by carving away the handful of truly bad films. Then you remove the films that weren’t directly made by Disney Animation (so Pixar doesn’t count!). Then you start making the hard choices and weep as truly great movies hit the floor.

But when you’re done, you have a list of the 20 greatest Disney animated movies of all time.

20 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire'

20

Few Disney films deserve a second chance quite like 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire,' which came and went during one of the company's biggest slumps. Unlike so many of Disney's early '00s flops, this isn't a half-assed comedy, but a genuine adventure movie, a clever blend of science fiction and fantasy that's truly unlike anything that's been attempted by the studio before or since. It's the closest thing that Disney has to a 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and while it's not a great movie, its ambition alone makes it worthy of inclusion on this list.

 

19 'Robin Hood'

19

The character of Robin Hood has always been at his best when he's been portrayed as a carefree romantic, a slacker with a bow-and-arrow and a heart of gold. Erroy Flynn got it right and so did the Disney company, whose 'Robin Hood' is effortlessly charming experience, taking a story of civil war and making it into a folksy, laid-back movie that feels strangely at home with the filmmaking style and temperament of Hollywood in the 1970s. The drama may be low-key compared to the genuine opera of other Disney productions, but this simple, effortlessly cool movie is one of the studio's most undervalued and under-appreciated efforts.

 

18 'Lady and the Tramp'

18

Even people who haven't seen 'Lady and the Tramp' know about the scene with the spaghetti. You know the one. It's one of the most iconic moments in the entire Disney catalogue, but it comes from a film that always seems to hide in the sidelines. That's a shame, really. This movie actually earns that silly-but-romantic moment -- it's beautifully animated, sweet and occasionally downright strange. Like 'Robin Hood,' it's a slight experience, but let's not undervalue the true power of pure, undistilled charm.

 

17 'Wreck-It Ralph'

17

The best thing about 'Wreck-It Ralph' is how unafraid it is to be truly modern. A company as old (and old fashioned) as Disney could easily get away with doing the same old thing over and over again, so they deserve some serious props for making a video game-centric movie that has its roots in modern culture instead of fairy tales. It helps that 'Wreck-It Ralph' is a very clever and very funny movie that takes what could have been a collection of pop culture references and transforms them into a dense world that you just want to lose yourself in.

 

16 'Dumbo'

16

'Dumbo' is one weird movie, guys. Despite only being 64 minutes long, it packs more crazy visuals and general surreal craziness into its scant running time than any other "classic" Disney movie. Don't forget: this a movie about an emotionally abused circus elephant who learns that he has the power of flight. While there's ultimately a happy ending, 'Dumbo' is also noteworthy for being one of the most miserable and depressing films in this catalog, a fact that everyone seems to forget when you show it to their children for the first time. There are better Disney films from this era, but none that are so unafraid of going off the rails.

15 'Mulan'

15

A few things make 'Mulan' one of the most unique Disney films of all time. First, there's the Chinese setting and the entirely Asian cast. Second, there's Eddie Murphy's performance as Mushu the dragon, the rare example of stunt casting that hasn't aged poorly. Third, there's Mulan herself, one of the strongest and best of the Disney princesses. Oh, and there's "I'll Make a Man Out of You," which may be the best workout song in all of Disney's animated library.

 

14 'Tangled'

14

With Disney animation going CG by default at this point, it's easy to turn your nose up at their newest films. After all, what do these movies offer that traditionally animated films don't? However, rhetorical questions become redundant when you're dealing with a movie as sweet and funny as 'Tangled,' which reinvents the story of Rapunzel in a number of surprising and mildly subversive ways. The lovely animation perfectly complements the film's gentle comedy and surprising honesty, making this one of the few Disney movies where every character feels truly real and lived-in. But all of that is secondary to Maximus the horse, who may be one of the greatest animated characters of all time. No kidding.

 

13 'Hercules'

13

Whoever decided that Disney's take on Greek mythology deserved to be scored with Gospel music was a genius. On its own, 'Hercules' is a blast, but with that soundtrack backing it, it jumps up three or four spots on this list. Seriously. If the songs don't do it for you, the film's epic scope and awesome monsters will do it for you. If you're still not satisfied (which means you have no soul), you can still appreciate James Woods' Hades, who remains one of the best Disney villains of all time.

 

12 '101 Dalmatians'

12

In the '60s, Disney animation faced a series of budgetary crises that threatened to shut the entire division down. Drastic changes were made to how the studio made animated movies and the results were drastic, with the painterly style of the classic days replaced by something rougher. One of the few films to wear this new style perfectly fine was 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians,' which embraced its rough-around-the-edges animation by being shaggy, small and likable. Despite its small ambitions, the film is excellent, feeling more off-the-cuff and jazzy than any other animated Disney movie. Although Cruella DeVille has rightfully received her fair share of accolades as one of Disney's top villains, the rest of the characters are just as strong, with Pogo and Perdita, despite being dogs, being two of the most relatable characters Disney history.

 

11 'Frozen'

11

The cult of the new can be a dangerous thing. Is the newly released 'Frozen' really the eleventh best Disney film or are we just excited by its shiny new-ness? Time will tell where this film ultimately lands, but there's no denying that it's one of the best films to come out of the studio in a long time and that its soundtrack is an all-timer. Make no mistake: we're going to be hearing "Let It Go" with the same frequency we hear other Disney signature tunes. Like the best animated films, 'Frozen' finds the perfect balance between comedy and drama, telling a stirring, moving story with the bravado of an all-star Broadway musical. This is a very special movie and the kind of work we hope Disney continues to churn out in the years to come.

 

10 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'

10

Here's the funny thing about 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs': it hasn't aged particularly well. However, it's aged interestingly, which makes it as compelling as any modern animated movie. There are stretches of Walt Disney's first animated feature that are downright difficult to watch at times. The pacing is odd. Snow White herself is grating. Everything is surface-level. But as a historical artifact, it's breathtaking. The animation is still gorgeous, the iconic moments still sing and you can see the seeds of every other Disney movie being planted here. Sure, everyone would learn to do better (and their follow-up film is a bonafide masterpiece that still holds up today), but this remains one of the most important films ever made. It may not be Disney's most rewatchable, but every self-respecting film buff deserves to study every frame.

 

9 'Cinderella'

9

Snow White may have been the first Disney princess, but Cinderella was the first Disney Princess. Every Disney heroine lives in her shadow: the plucky girl who dreams big and, through a little luck and a lot of courage, achieves her dreams. Think of how many real life events and people we compare to 'Cinderella.' Think of the cultural impact this story has had on our psyche. Think of the images and ideas that have entered the pop culture lexicon. Glass slippers. Fairy Godmother. Singing mice. "Bippity-boppity-boo." 'Cinderella' earns a spot on this list because it's as effortlessly charming and lovely as most classic Disney movies, but it earns a spot this high because our cultural landscape would feel so different without it.

 

8 'Bambi'

8

Everyone remembers 'Bambi' for two reasons. First, it's the adorable movie where that cute baby deer hangs out with the even cuter rabbit. Second, it's the heartbreaking movie where that cute baby deer's mother is gunned down by an unseen hunter. We remember bits and pieces of 'Bambi' because that's what the film feels like. It's a series of short stories, loosely tied together with themes of growing up and taking responsibility for yourself and others. The rejection of a traditional three-act narrative makes 'Bambi' one of Disney's stranger and more antiquated films, but every individual moment is so strong and animation so stunning that it's impossible disregard. There's a quiet power to 'Bambi's simplicity that more complicated films could never capture.

7 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'

7

This is a tricky one. Originally, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' was going to be an official Disney release, but the people with the reins chickened out the last second and released it under their Touchstone banner. Two decades later, the film is a certified classic that Disney has embraced whole-heartedly, so we think it deserves to be in same ranks as the studio's other iconic releases. The story of Jack Skellington's foray into the world of Christmas is certainly more gruesome than your typical Disney movie, but strangely enough, its heart is always in the same place. This is a big, grand, honest musical about a lovable hero who goes on a journey of self-discovery. Take out the skeletons and monsters and you've got the Disney template. If anything, this is proof that the Disney template looks really good with a harder edge.

 

6 'The Little Mermaid'

6

Disney has had its fair share of ups and downs over the years, but few ups compare to 'The Little Mermaid,' which launched the company back into prominence after almost a decade of critical and financial disaster. The triumph of 'The Little Mermaid' is that it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it simply takes that tried and true Disney formula, polishes it until it shines and injects with with the gloss and power of a Broadway show. This is a film that makes you applaud in your seat after every musical number, which every broad moment landing perfectly because animation lets you get away with going theatrical. In fact, the only bad thing about 'The Little Mermaid' is that there are films from Disney's late '80s/early '90s Renaissance that topped it.

 

5 'Sleeping Beauty'

The princess at the center of 'Sleeping Beauty' is fairly dull. Her heroic prince doesn't have much character either. Their love story isn't that impressive or deep or interesting. So what makes this one of the best Disney movies and one of the best animated films of all time? Simple: it feels huge. This is an epic movie, a beautifully crafted adventure where every single frame is worthy of being put on a canvas and hung on the wall. Disney's animated films have never looked this incredible before or since and when the big action climax arrives, it feels like you're lost in a painting rather than watching a movie. It's astonishing. It helps that the villainous Maleficent is nothing short of incredible, of course.

 

4 'The Lion King'

4

'The Lion King,' or "Hamlet on the Plains of Africa," was one of the biggest hits of the '90s and for good reasons. Forced to live up to expectations set by 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Beauty and the Beast,' this film swings for the fences. Songs consistently top each other, characters go on sprawling, life-changing quests and the villain is truly, wonderfully nasty. This movie moves with purpose and takes no prisoners, traumatizing its young audience in name of juicy drama.

3 'Fantasia'

3

'Fantasia' may not have the popular appeal of most Disney productions, but it's one of the few times in the company's history that they made something truly audacious. Outside of the iconic "Sorcerer's Apprentice" sequence (which sees Mickey Mouse bringing mops to life with calamitous results), little of the film lingers in the public's consciousness. But see it again and, more importantly, see it again now that you're a little older. Disney's dialogue-free tribute to music is a work of art, a stunning and occasionally maddening look at how music can conjure a thousand images. It's a brave message, really. 'Fantasia' dares to put music on a platform above all else, to exclaim that imagination is the most powerful form of entertainment. Not every segment in the film works, but as a genuine work of art, it treads (and succeeds) where few animated films dare to go.

 

2 'Pinocchio'

2

Three years after 'Snow White the Seven Dwarfs,' Walt Disney and his team made 'Pinocchio' and the leap from one to the other is nothing short of astonishing. While the story of the living puppet who longs to be a real boy has its fair share of dated moments, the overall film is just plain charming, offering a dramatic weight and a scope that would come to define these movies. It especially helps that Pinocchio himself is a likable, flawed character and that his journey is wonderful. It's especially helpful that Jiminy Cricket exists, because he's the greatest Disney sidekick of all time (and a very effective moral anchor, to boot). 'Pinocchio' is funny and sad and scary and moving, sticking just close enough to the original story to keep the sharp edges in. Later Disney films would be sanitized into oblivion, but Disney knew back in 1940 that good stories require people to get bruised.

 

1 'Beauty and the Beast'

1

And here we are at the greatest animated Disney movie of all time. Let's not beat around the bush: 'Beauty and the Beast' is a perfect movie that represents everything that Disney animation has aiming for since its inception and it does it all better than everyone. It's a smart update on a classic story, a stirring adventure, a truly touching romance and silly comedy. Every song is great and belted memorably, with the title song instantly entering "Greatest Movie Theme Song Of All Time" territory. The smart, adventurous Belle is the greatest of the Disney princesses, the brooding Beast is the greatest Disney hero and the despicable Gaston is the greatest Disney villain. Oh, and it's just plain gorgeous to look at. Come on. Say another Disney movie is better. We'll fight you.

15 facts about colon cancer and diet\Health

15 facts about colon cancer and diet\Health
Colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer - here are 15 quick facts on diet and other things to get you up to speed.

1: Colon Cancer, rectal cancer and colorectal cancer have long been considered the preserve of old men with 85% of cases in the over 50 age group.

2: Birmingham University showed localised oestrogen as a possible culprit.

3: Another likely factor are carcinogenic bile acids that you make yourself. Its production is stimulated by animal fats and alcohol.

4: However research has shown that aspirin, fish oils, garlic and ginger can all turn off the production. Vitamin D also has a strong protective influence. All these should be in your diet.

5: Polyps and inflammation are precursors to colon cancer. They too can be "calmed" by aspirin, aloe vera, garlic, ginger, curcumin and fish oils.

6: Japanese research has strongly implicated salt as a major cause. Doubling your salt intake doubles your risk.

7: Another possible cause is yeasts, and thus an imbalance between good bacteria and the bad guys like yeasts, fungi and microbes. Good bacteria are essential to good digestion and production of essential anyi-cancer vitamins like B-12, folic acid, niacin, biotin and vitamin K from whole grains and greens. Antibiotics, steroids and chlorinated water destroy the good guys.

8: Destroying the good bacteria leaves the yeasts free to multiply and flourish, being commonly found in infected intestines. Garlic, Pau d´Arco, caprylic acid and wormwood will kill them off if you add a no-sugar, no-alcohol, no-refined foods, no-yeasts, no-dairy diet.

9: The Boston Nurses study showed that the only vegetable that made a significant difference to colon cancer risk rates was garlic.

10: Parasites are more common than you think. They too may be a culprit. Try Neways Purge/Parafree.

11: Keep a good, natural fibre intake. Fibre should be inside your everyday foods - nuts, vegetables, seeds, fruit - not falsely added to it.

12: Smoking increases the risk of colon cancer. It´s much easier to cut out smoking!

13: Sunshine and vitamin D is a tremendous colorectal cancer preventer. If you cannot spend 30 minutes a day in the sun, take vitamin D supplement.
14: Watch your weight. Your fat will store excess toxins and also make oestrogen - you don´t need either.

15: Everyone over 50 can be screened and accuracy is pretty good. This really is prevention if you catch the problem at the polyp stage. Research is clear, polyps or not: A fish oil (or Krill oil) a day keeps the doctor away.

10 Tips for Mental Wellness\Health

10 Tips for Mental Wellness\Health

mentalWellness_logo

Over time, our every day stressors can bring us down. Whether it’s the news, work, family responsibility, or just the plain wear-and-tear of life, at times it can seem like too much. The burdens of life weigh heavy on our shoulders, and we’re left counting down the days until the next vacation, the next little slice of ‘fun’ – the next break. Here are some simple tips to make that burden feel a little less heavy, or perhaps hardly there at all.

1. Organize

One of the main reasons we get on edge is because we encounter things we didn’t plan or couldn’t foresee. These rouge waves of life will happen regardless, but with good organization on your part, you can minimize the occurrence and make sure that you contribute little to their existence. Sit down with a daily planner or get a calendar for your desk. Time constraints created by running around or forgetting things stresses you out as well as the people around you. Take a minute, organize, and follow your plans!

2. Treat Your Body Well

One staple of a healthy, happy life is good nutrition and proper body maintenance Make sure you have a well-rounded diet, which is possible (believe it or not) with good organization and well-calculated trips to the store.  I choose 3-4 meals I’d like to be able to have any day, get a nice stock pile, and then day-to-day I’m able to put whatever I want together. Waking up an extra 30 minutes early and making lunch is a great habit to get into! It requires for you to go to bed a bit earlier, as sleep is vital, but it’s well worth it.

3. Exercise

There are always the two sides to the healthy body coin – the diet and the exercise. You can’t give yourself a really healthy body unless both sides are maintained. That said, develop a exercise regimen. Shoot for at least 30 minutes a day, unless you can spare more time, in which case devote an hour.  It doesn’t make a difference if it’s jogging or resistance training, as long as you’re keeping active.

4. Express yourself

Don’t try to bottle up every emotion and thought. Self-expression is a great thing, and it helps us maintain a good attitude. Think of a few activities you’d love to do through out the week and try to make at least one of them happen – maybe a trip to the museum or beach? Whatever it is, let your true self reveal itself. If you can do that, then you can be yourself.

5. Laugh Everyday

Laughter really is the best medicine. Chemically, it stimulates the brain and literally makes us feel better. It’s good for those around us too. So crack a funny joke, or enjoy a good laugh with your coworkers. Whatever it is, laugh!

6. Practice Humility

While you should always have self-confidence, reflect on yourself and know your faults. Don’t be ashamed of them, but rather aware of what they are and how you can work on them. Accept it – you’re not perfect!

7. Avoid the ‘Sins’

Drugs and alcohol offer the easy solution out, but they come with a price: dependence. This should be a tax too burdensome on any, as you should always know you can work through life with your own character and spirit if it ever required it. Instead of these, find the beautiful, happy things in life and cherish them.

8. Accept the past, but don’t forget it

Some people suggest forgetting the past – don’t do it! The past is what we learn from; it is life’s great teacher. Unfortunately, the minute we forget the past is the minute we repeat it. That doesn’t mean we can’t accept it though. Know your past and its dilemmas, accept it, and move on.

9. Know who you want to be and what you want to do

Have goals as a person, both for your own character and for your life’s pathway. A wise man once said the focus of our attention determines our reality. That said, focus hard on your goals. You’d be surprised of how attainable they are!

10. Remember Why You’re Doing it

Always remember your loved ones and your reason for working so hard. Self-sacrifice is just that – sacrifice – but you can find solace in that when you need to. If you follow the tips above, and remember why it’s so important,  you be feeling better every day in no time.
