Corporate tax cut in phases

choing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech, she said Indian wealth-creator entrepreneurs would be given all kinds of support. Modi in his annual address to the nation from the Red Fort on August 15 had extolled the role of wealth creators and said they must not be viewed with suspicion. "Let us never see wealth creators with suspicion. Only when wealth is created, wealth will be distributed," he had said.On tax collection, Sitharaman said tax administrators become facilitators and people who pay tax are treated with a lot of understanding.Redemption reserves off The government has removed the redemption reserve requirement for the issue of debentures by non-banking financial companies, housing finance companies and listed firms, a move aimed at reducing the cost of raising capital.Under the companies law, these entities raising money had to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) of 25 per cent of the value of outstanding debentures. For unlisted companies, the DRR requirement has been reduced to 10 per cent from 25 per cent of the outstanding debentures."The measure has been taken to reduce the cost of capital raised by companies through the issue of debentures and is expected to deepen the bond market," the corporate affairs ministry said.

'Happy sailing': Russian sailor's message in bottle found 50 years later

The note was dry,' he told the Nome Nugget newspaper. Ivanoff posted a picture of the bottle and the note on Facebook on August 5. But the yarn doesn't end there. Rossiya 1, a Russian television network, tracked it by its return address in Vladivostok to a retired Soviet ship captain now living in Crimea. Anatoly Botsanenko, interviewed by the station in a naval uniform, said he served on the Sulak in 1969 when he was 35. Peering at the message on the reporter's smartphone, Botsanenko said, 'That's not my handwriting.' But he then recognized the return address as his old home in Vladivostok. 'It's pretty cool how a small photo grew into a story,' Ivanoff posted on Facebook. (This story has been published from a wire agency feed without modifications to the text.

Regular exercise may cut Alzheimer's risk in older adults

In the second study, researchers studied 95 people, also from the registry, who were given scores called polygenic risk scores, based on whether they possessed certain genes associated with Alzheimer's. Similarly, the third study examined MRIs from 107 individuals from the registry who were asked to run on a treadmill to determine their oxygen uptake efficiency slope, a measure of aerobic fitness. Participation in the registry included an initial assessment of biological, health and lifestyle factors associated with the disease and follow-up assessments every two to four years. All participants completed a questionnaire about their physical activity and underwent neuropsychological testing and brain scans to measure several biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers compared data from individuals younger than 60 years with older adults and found a decrease in cognitive abilities as well as an increase in biomarkers associated with the disease in older individuals. However, the effects were significantly weaker in older adults who reported engaging in the equivalent of at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week. "The most interesting part of our research is that we now show evidence that lifestyle habits - in this case regular, moderate exercise - can modify the effect of what is commonly considered a non-modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's, in this case, aging," Okonkwo said. "Overall, these studies suggest that the negative effect of aging and genetic risk on Alzheimer's' disease biomarkers and cognition can be lessened in physically active, older adults at risk for the disease compared with their less active peers."

A twist in the Addams Family tale: Recharge by Rachel Lopez

But before the new animated movie comes out this year, consider an oddball spinoff of this oddball show. The 2015 web series Adult Wednesday Addams imagines Morticia and Gomez's daughter (pasty, scowling, braided, but otherwise all grown up) living in Los Angeles. It's hilarious. Wednesday stands out, of course — who wears black in sunny LA? But the city is so full of flakes, she also fits right in. Over 13 episodes, each only a few minutes long, she finds roommates, aces a job interview (despite satanic references) and meets guys. She even finds time to visit the hairdresser. 'I think this chair is broken. I am feeling no electricity,' Wednesday deadpans as she takes a seat. Melissa Hunter, who created the series and plays Addams, gives Wednesday a sharpness that's missing from the official versions. Grown-up Wednesday throws shade at every vacuous LA stereotype. There's the bimbo who refuses to clean up after her dog, the reality-TV starlet trying to order underlings around, the photographer at the hipster flea market, taking in her funereal look and asking, 'Who are you wearing?' 'It's faux,' says Wednesday, pointing to her beige bag. 'I don't have the budget for real human skin.' Underneath that prissy vintage frock, Wednesday is a hero. She deals with one-night stands and anti-abortion activists. She intimidates catcallers and refuses to be bullied. When she's babysitting one little girl, the kid worries there's a ghoul in her bedroom cupboard. 'Monsters don't prey on boring children,' Wednesday says. 'Real monsters prey on real monsters. As long as you never become a real monster, you never have to fear them.' Hunter's series garnered over 12 million views and 2.7 lakh subscribers before a copyright-infringement complaint from The Addams Family creators got her to take it off YouTube. You can stream them on ItsMelissaHunter.com. And maybe drop her a line requesting more adventures?

Pathway to $5-trillion dream

But when we have in five years (of BJP rule) added $1 trillion as compared to $2 trillion size achieved in 70 years of Independence, then this target is achievable," he said, while addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 73rd Independence Day.Modi said political stability through a massive mandate for his government alongside predictable policy provides a unique opportunity for India to grow. "The country shouldn't lose this opportunity," he said adding that his government has provided high growth while keeping inflation at a low rate.He referred to reforms such as the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) for aiding the growth process and said the government will invest Rs 100 lakh crore in building modern ports, highways, railways, airports, hospitals and educational institutions.He said reforms will continue to be ushered in to help India break into Top 50 countries on the "ease of doing business" ranking. "The target is to break into top 50 nations," he said.The Prime Minister said the era of policy paralysis has ended and his government was giving policy-based governance that has helped catapult the country from the 142nd place among 190 nations on the World Bank's ease of doing business ranking in 2014 to 77th position this year.Reforms will continue and procedures would be further eased to make it easier for companies to do business in the country, he said adding that efforts are on to increase the size of the economy to $5 trillion.The country's economic growth accelerated in the first few years of Modi 1.0 regime, even breaching 8 per cent in 2016 and 2017, and the government was able to push through major reforms, including the introduction of a harmonised goods and services tax. But the growth rate has since then slowed to a five-year low of 5.8 per cent in January-March 2019, consumer confidence has waned and foreign direct investment has plateaued. Entrepreneurs have voiced frustrations with regulation and the high cost of capital. The Prime Minister, however, sought to allay concerns saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong, with low inflation and a potential to boost exports. For entrepreneurs and businessmen, he said wealth creators must be respected and they should not be seen with suspicion. "Let us never see wealth creators with suspicion. Only when wealth is created, wealth will be distributed," he said. "Wealth creation is absolutely essential. Those who create wealth are India's wealth and we respect them." This is the third time in one year that Modi has stood up for corporates. In July last year, Modi had stated that he was not scared to be seen with industrialists as his conscience was clear and that they too had contributed to the development of the country. In October 2018, he had stated that he does not believe in the culture of criticising the industry. Corporates, he believes, are doing exemplary social work alongside their business. He said the world is eager to trade with India. "Over the years we watched people making India a market (for their products). We too should reach the markets of the world. Why can't every district be an export hub?... If we aim for the global markets and make local products attractive, it will give employment to our youth."

However, the stunning beach picture of the actor was soon turned into a meme by her fans who couldn't get over the colour combination of her bikini. While some combined her picture with her still from her last film Sui Dhaaga to explain the difference between a current girlfriend and an ex, some used the collage to differentiate between a person's stay-at-home look and his/her party avatar.

Ranchi to host 6km promotional on cycling

ccording to a 2014 survey by the Institute of Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), use of shared autos (diesel and battery operated) in Ranchi was at 28 per cent, while operation of buses constitutes a meagre 5 per cent of the share of public transport.On an average, 800 people are using the app-based public bicycle sharing platform a day, said Shashi Ranjan, manager of Chartered Bike, the Ahmedabad-based firm that launched the initiative in Ranchi."Earlier, 1,500 people would use the bicycles a day. But due to the monsoon, usage has slipped to 800 per day. However, with more awareness people's interest will increase," he said, explaining the rational behind an event like Cyclothon. At the event, cyclists will display Hindi slogans like, "Azadi pradushan se, azadi traffic jam se, sankalp le cycle chalane ka, desh ko swachh evam pradyushan mukt banana ka (Freedom from pollution, freedom from traffic jams, take the pledge to opt for cycle and make the country clean and pollution free)."Ranjan said they were organising such an event for the first time. "So far, we have got confirmation from 15 cyclists. They will be provided with T-shirts and the banners. Since it is a promotional event, the rides will be free," he said.The Cyclothon, of 6km, will commence at 7am from Albert Ekka Square (on Main Road) and traverse through major intersections like Lalpur, Dangratoli, St Xavier's College square, Iqra Masjid and culminate at Big Bazaar (opposite Ranchi Club).The first phase of the app-based initiative was launched in March with 600 German-made cycles. As many as 60 docking stations were set up along two routes, namely, Kanke Road-Chandni Chowk-Suchana Bhawan-Main Road and Kokar-Lalpur-Circular Road-Kutchery Chowk-Morabadi. Chartered Bike is ready to launch the second phase with 600 more bicycles and is currently carrying out a survey to set up more docking stations."The second phase will have cycles on routes between Karamtoli Chowk to Kokar via Booty More, Ratu Road to Project Bhawan via Shahjanand Chowk, Argora Chowk and Birsa Chowk, Birsa Chowk to Main Road and Shahjanand Chowk to Main Road via Kadru. We are ready with the bicycles and will soon start construction of docking stations after completing the survey," said a company official. Ranjan referred to the initial hiccups they faced when people began parked their motorbikes at docking stations, thereby defeating the very purpose of the cycle-sharing initiative."Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) had deputed guards to ensure that people do not park their bikes at our docking stations. But we would like more stringent measures to prevent illegal parking at our docking stations," Ranjan noted.The Chartered Bike app is available on both Android and iOS platforms. There is a subscription fee, Rs 35.40 a day, Rs 236 a month and Rs 1,180 a year. There is a nominal user charge of Rs 5, but the first 30 minutes are free. Those who do not have access to smartphones can buy tickets and use the cycles.
