Efforts are being made in India for improving the economic condition of people but it can bear no fruitful result if population is allowed to growl unchecked. The national activities in free India are directed to the task of providing adequate means of livelihood to an increasing number of people through an integrated development of agriculture, trade, commerce and industries.
Homework for me
The schemes adopted for this purpose cannot materialize unless the population problem is tackled satisfactorily. However, it is also a fact that we cannot exercise any effective check on population unless there be an appreciable rise in the standard of living for the common people. Overpopulation weakens the economy in many respects. The increasing pressure of population on natural resources will retard the economic progress and minimize the scope for social services in the form of education, wealth, housing, etc.
Therefore, a planned growth of our economy needs some effective check on population. The benefits of family planning schemes initiated by the Government are being emphasized in many ways. Nevertheless, it requires persistent propaganda work before public opinion can be fully mobilized for a planned growth of population.
After Ricardo's death in , Malthus became isolated among the younger British political economists, who tended to think he had lost the debate. In terms of public policy, Malthus was a supporter of the protectionist Corn Laws from the end of the Napoleonic Wars. He emerged as the only economist of note to support duties on imported grain. By encouraging domestic production, Malthus argued, the Corn Laws would guarantee British self-sufficiency in food. Malthus was a founding member of the Political Economy Club in ; there John Cazenove tended to be his ally, against Ricardo and Mill.
He was also one of the first fellows of the Statistical Society , founded in March In he gave evidence to a committee of the House of Commons on emigration. In , he published Definitions in Political Economy, preceded by an inquiry into the rules which ought to guide political economists in the definition and use of their terms; with remarks on the deviation from these rules in their writings.
In chapter 10, the penultimate chapter, he presented 60 numbered paragraphs putting forth terms and their definitions that he proposed, following those rules, should be used in discussing political economy. This collection of terms and definitions is remarkable for two reasons: first, Malthus was the first economist to explicitly organize, define, and publish his terms as a coherent glossary of defined terms; and second, his definitions were, for the most part, well-formed definitional statements.
Between these chapters, he criticized several contemporary economists— Jean-Baptiste Say , David Ricardo , James Mill , John Ramsay McCulloch , and Samuel Bailey —for sloppiness in choosing, attaching meaning to, and using their technical terms. McCulloch was the editor of The Scotsman of Edinburgh; he replied cuttingly in a review printed on the front page of his newspaper in March, McCulloch clearly felt his ox gored, and his review of Definitions is largely a bitter defence of his own Principles of Political Economy , [39] and his counter-attack "does little credit to his reputation", being largely "personal derogation" of Malthus.
This motivation of Malthus's work was disregarded by McCulloch, who responded that there was nothing to be gained "by carping at definitions, and quibbling about the meaning to be attached to" words. Given that statement, it is not surprising that McCulloch's review failed to address the rules of chapter 1 and did not discuss the definitions of chapter 10; he also barely mentioned Malthus's critiques of other writers. In spite of this, in the wake of McCulloch's scathing review, the reputation of Malthus as economist dropped away, for the rest of his life. Malthus died suddenly of heart disease on 23 December , at his father-in-law's house.
He was buried in Bath Abbey. They had a son and two daughters.
His firstborn, son Henry, became vicar of Effingham, Surrey , in , and of Donnington, Sussex , in ; he married Sofia Otter — , daughter of Bishop William Otter , and died in August , aged His middle child, Emily, died in , outliving her parents and siblings. The youngest, Lucille, died unmarried and childless in , months before her 18th birthday. Malthus argued in his Essay that population growth generally expanded in times and in regions of plenty until the size of the population relative to the primary resources caused distress:. Yet in all societies, even those that are most vicious, the tendency to a virtuous attachment [i.
This constant effort as constantly tends to subject the lower classes of the society to distress and to prevent any great permanent amelioration of their condition. Malthus argued that two types of checks hold population within resource limits: positive checks, which raise the death rate; and preventive ones, which lower the birth rate.
The positive checks include hunger, disease and war; the preventive checks: birth control , postponement of marriage and celibacy. The rapid increase in the global population of the past century exemplifies Malthus's predicted population patterns; it also appears to describe socio-demographic dynamics of complex pre-industrial societies.
These findings are the basis for neo-malthusian modern mathematical models of long-term historical dynamics. Malthus wrote that in a period of resource abundance, a population could double in 25 years. However, the margin of abundance could not be sustained as population grew, leading to checks on population growth:. If the subsistence for man that the earth affords was to be increased every twenty-five years by a quantity equal to what the whole world at present produces, this would allow the power of production in the earth to be absolutely unlimited, and its ratio of increase much greater than we can conceive that any possible exertions of mankind could make it In later editions of his essay, Malthus clarified his view that if society relied on human misery to limit population growth, then sources of misery e.

On the other hand, "preventive checks" to population that limited birthrates, such as later marriages, could ensure a higher standard of living for all, while also increasing economic stability. Of the relationship between population and economics, Malthus wrote that when the population of laborers grows faster than the production of food, real wages fall because the growing population causes the cost of living i. Difficulties of raising a family eventually reduce the rate of population growth, until the falling population again leads to higher real wages.
In the second and subsequent editions Malthus put more emphasis on moral restraint as the best means of easing the poverty of the lower classes. In this work, his first published pamphlet, Malthus argues against the notion prevailing in his locale that the greed of intermediaries caused the high price of provisions.
Instead, Malthus says that the high price stems from the Poor Laws , which "increase the parish allowances in proportion to the price of corn. But he concludes by saying that in time of scarcity such Poor Laws, by raising the price of corn more evenly, actually produce a beneficial effect. Although government in Britain had regulated the prices of grain, the Corn Laws originated in At the end of the Napoleonic Wars that year, Parliament passed legislation banning the importation of foreign corn into Britain until domestic corn cost 80 shillings per quarter.
It led to serious rioting in London and to the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester in In this pamphlet, printed during the parliamentary discussion, Malthus tentatively supported the free-traders.

He argued that given the increasing cost of growing British corn, advantages accrued from supplementing it from cheaper foreign sources. In Malthus published Principles of Political Economy. Malthus intended this work to rival Ricardo's Principles Malthus developed the theory of demand-supply mismatches that he called gluts. Discounted at the time, this theory foreshadowed later works of an admirer, John Maynard Keynes. The vast bulk of continuing commentary on Malthus, however, extends and expands on the "Malthusian controversy" of the early 19th century. One of the best men and truest philosophers of any age or country, raised by native dignity of mind above the misrepresentation of the ignorant and the neglect of the great, he lived a serene and happy life devoted to the pursuit and communication of truth, supported by a calm but firm conviction of the usefulness of his labours, content with the approbation of the wise and good.
The spotless integrity of his principles, the equity and candour of his nature, his sweetness of temper, urbanity of manners and tenderness of heart, his benevolence and his piety are still dearer recollections of his family and friends.

Research >> Economics
Consumer Confidence declined in October
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had slightly improved in September, declined in October. The Index now stands at 39.8 (1985=100), down from 46.4 in September. The Present Situation Index decreased to 26.3 from 33.3. The Expectations Index declined to 48.7 from 55.1 last month.
Consumer confidence is now back to levels last seen during the 2008-2009 recession. Consumer expectations, which had improved in September, gave back all of the gain and then some, as concerns about business conditions, the labor market and income prospects increased. Consumers' assessment of present-day conditions did not fare any better. The Present Situation Index posted its sixth consecutive monthly decline, as pessimism about the current economic environment continues to grow.
Consumers' appraisal of present-day conditions deteriorated further in October. Those claiming business conditions are "bad" increased to 43.7 percent from 40.5 percent, while those claiming business conditions are "good" decreased to 11.0 percent from 12.1 percent. Consumers' assessment of the labor market was also less favorable. Those claiming jobs are "plentiful" decreased to 3.4 percent from 5.6, however, those saying jobs are "hard to get" decreased to 47.1 percent from 49.4 percent.
Consumers' short-term outlook, which had improved last month, reversed course in October. Those expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months decreased to 9.1 percent from 11.8 percent, while those expecting business conditions to worsen edged down to 21.5 percent from 21.9 percent.
Consumers' outlook for the job market was slightly more pessimistic. Those anticipating more jobs in the months ahead edged down to 11.3 percent from 11.9 percent, while those expecting fewer jobs decreased to 27.4 percent from 28.6 percent. The proportion of consumers anticipating an increase in their incomes declined to 10.3 percent from 13.5 percent.

At Travel Bureau our personal travel experts are just that, experts. We know how important it is for you to have recommendations you can trust, from someone who really knows what they're talking about. That's why our team are always travelling to stay up to date on the ever-changing world of travel. We recently packed Garry off to one of our most popular destinations, Mauritius, to get the lowdown on all the best things to do and places to stay.
The lowdown…
More than just beaches, Mauritius is a diverse destination, a land of lush landscapes and gushing waterfalls and a country of rich history and heritage with a vibrant capital city in Port Louis. An Emirates flight from Newcastle to Mauritius takes around 16 hours with a short connection in Dubai but you could always choose to spend a few nights in this ultra-glamorous UAE city to break up the journey. With the island's tropical climate, the best time to visit Mauritius is from May to December, avoiding the hottest and most humid summer months.
Hotel spotlight…
4* Veranda Paul et Virginie
Located on the northeast coast, this couples only retreat is named after the titular characters of Jacques-Henri Bernadin's 1788 novel. Set on Mauritius, or Ile de France as it was known during its time under French rule in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the book chronicles the life-long love story of two childhood friends. So, it's safe to say that this place has romance in its DNA! What Garry loved most about this peaceful resort was its relaxed and intimate feel, perfect for couples seeking quality time and a sense of calm.
HIGHLIGHT: The resort has two pools but it's the stunning infinity pool that leaves a lasting impression. Overlooking the ocean with views of the Northern Islets, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful spot.
5* Constance Belle Mare Plage
Further down the east coast, Constance Belle Mare Plage is a much larger resort with a different atmosphere. With an excellent kids' club, it's a perfect option for families with younger children but also has a lot to offer couples who aren't after the honeymoon vibe. With a spectacular oceanfront setting, complete with palm-fringed beach, the resort itself is quite spread out, giving a great sense of space and meaning guests never feel crowded. What's more, in Garry's view, the Constance offers one of the best value all-inclusive packages in Mauritius.
HIGHLIGHT: With seven restaurants across the resort, foodies will love the quality and versatility of dining options. Garry particularly enjoyed his experience at the Blue Penny restaurant, which is located within the hotel's wine cellar. It's a wonderful setting for a meal but can be a bit chilly so make sure to take an extra layer.
5* Lux Bell Mare
Set on a wide expanse of talcum-soft sand that stretched away into the distance, this contemporary design hotel oozes class and style. Designed by Kelly Hoppen MBE, the whole resort has an aesthetic of modern cool but rustic touches keep it from feeling overly stylised. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just raising a toast to a fantastic holiday, with a special rum corner, a gin bar and a Champagne bar you won't be short of places to clink glasses! Lux Belle Mare offers a wide selection of board packages meaning there's something to suit every taste and budget.
HIGHLIGHT: Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted to learn that the hotel even has its own chocolate maker to prepare delectable deserts and tempting treats for guests. Garry really enjoyed watching him work his magic and the tasting session wasn't too much of a hardship either!
Don't leave without…
Visiting the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden. Pamplemousse is the French word for grapefruit, which were originally planted in Mauritius to try and stop sailors from getting scurvy! The ground on which the Royal Botanical Garden was established was purchased by the island's first French Governor, François Mahé de Labourdonnais, in 1735 to provide vegetables for his household – the nearby Chateau Labourdonnais, which is also well worth a visit. In 1768, it was Intendant Pierre Poivre who introduced various fruits, flowers and spices from all over the world, literally planting the seeds of the spectacular garden we know today. The oldest botanic garden in the southern hemisphere, the huge water lilies are one of the garden's highlights alongside the resident population of giant tortoises.
Did you know…
A former Dutch colony, the island of Mauritius was named in honour of Prince Maurice van Nassau in 1598 and is also where the extinct flightless bird, the dodo came from!
This is just a snapshot of what Garry saw while he was out in Mauritius so if you'd like to know more please feel free to give him a call on 0191 285 9321 or send an email to email@example.com.

Why Mondays? You can be mindful any day of the week, right?
Well, of course. But the concept of "Mindful Monday" holds a special appeal for us—and not just because we're suckers for alliteration. For most, Monday signifies the first day of a brand-new week, a fresh start and a time to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. In other words, Monday presents a great opportunity to tap into the power of your mind.
"Mindful Monday" can take different forms for all of us, but in a nutshell, it entails making a point to include periods of mindfulness throughout the day. Whether you choose to meditate for a few minutes before getting out of bed, taking an hourly break for some deep breathing or incorporate some other strategy, mindfulness is the practice of focusing on the present moment and being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, body and mind.
Focusing on the Here and Now
As humans, we tend to either be worrying about the past or planning for the future—rarely are we grounded in what is happening right in front of us, notes Julie Frischkorn, director of behavioral health and mindfulness for Spark360. Many of us become immersed in scrolling through our phones, zoning out in front of the TV or wandering through the day without really noticing the details around us. "We lose out on our ability to enjoy the small moments of sweetness in our day or pick up on things the first time around," Frischkorn says.
Practicing Mindful Mondays can help you reap the benefits of the present moment, allowing you to start the week with a reminder to be present no matter what the week throws at you. "With this objective, we are less likely to miss out on the simple pleasures or create more work for ourselves in the long run," notes Frischkorn.
Yes, You Can Be Mindful and Productive
When you're drowning in emails and deadlines on a busy Monday, mindfulness may seem more like a luxury than a necessity. But as Frischkorn points out, there is a misconception about mindfulness being a relaxation exercise that requires slowing ourselves down. In practice, it's actually about fine-tuning our mental muscle for attention and focus.
"Many in the business world worry that if their employees practice mindfulness, they will be less productive or lose their edge," she says. "But data has shown that participants with regular mindfulness practices are actually sharper, more focused and better able to tackle tasks with precision and poise."
From Manic to Mindful
Wondering how to make time for mindfulness during manic Mondays? Frischkorn suggests trying these simple yet satisfying practices:
Begin Again—Anytime
There is a popular phrase in the mindfulness field: "Begin again." Frischkorn sees the phrase as a soft mental note to ourselves, a signifier that when we lose focus and get off track, all is not lost.
"When distraction happens, our mindfulness practice helps us to notice that we have wandered and [should] refocus with the invitation to 'begin again,'" she says. "While it is wonderful to start our weeks with intention, mindfulness is a journey and not a destination. We will have many opportunities during the week to return to a mindset of present-centered awareness, and can do so with a gentle reminder to ourselves to 'begin again.'"

Great suggestions. Mindful Mondays 7 days a week. Report
Being mindful and saying one's prayers are 2 different activities. Being mindful helps me remember why I went into a room, governs my actions for the day and helps me remember my blessings.

To the Editor:
What does it mean to say 1 of every 4 kids in Oswego County live with hunger? A child facing food insecurity may be missing meals. Or maybe their mom is skipping dinner to ensure they don't have to. Maybe someone got sick or lost their job and the family doesn't know if they'll have enough food to feed the kids. All of these children are living with hunger.
Phoenix Central School District fluctuates between 49% to 51% of kids who get free or reduced breakfast and lunch. One of the third-grade teachers realized the impact Erin's Angels is making in her classroom. "A student of mine came to me the other day with half of her lunch saved. I asked her if she needed more time to eat. She replied that there was no food at home, so she was eating half of her lunch now and the other half for dinner. I provided her with some snacks, and she said she knew she was going to get food bags tomorrow in school and thanked me. This conversation made me realize how much these bags are making a difference."
Since nutrition affects cognitive, social and emotional development, children who do not get proper foods are more likely to have problems learning, growing and interacting. Erin's Angels ensures that children who rely on subsidized lunches continue to receive food vital to their growth and development. Children are sent home with a bag of food every weekend with enough to eat three meals and a snack on Saturday and Sunday. At Erin's Angels, we envision better health and well-being for all children now and in future generations by improving food access and connecting the community to resources in order to raise successful students. We are making progress. But we have much further to go. No child should be in danger of going to bed hungry.
Your tax-deductible gift will provide vulnerable kids with food over the weekend. Every $100 dollars you give will provide meals for the entire school year for a child who is facing hunger. Donate here: www.erinsangels.com.

Umpires are the masters of a cricket match. They hold the crucial power of decision making. Everything depends on their decision. In fact, one wrong decision by the umpire might turn the fate of a match or the tournament. The job of an umpire is more difficult than that of a referee because the former has to take even tricky decisions such as that in an LBW.
Thus the umpire is expected to be all serious during the game. Except of course for a momentary funny gesture or two such as the ones done by Billy Bowden.
But it appears that umpires can be really, really funny at times. They can rip off that "I am so serious" mask and do things you cannot even imagine.
Team India cricketer Ravindra Jadeja recently shared a video on social media showing an umpire at a local match dancing to a medley of songs.
The umpire dances to hit songs such as "Main Hun Don" and "Chin Tata" among others, and he does that with such aplomb!
Here is the video. Put on your headphones and see how an umpire dances.
People reacted to that video with praises. Some of them even wrote that the umpire is from Navi Mumbai and that people call him "Gotya Umpire".
And if want more of 'Gotya Umpire', here is a longer video. Enjoy because this guy is pure entertainment.
Would you not like to see 'Gotya Umpire' officiating in the IPL? Wouldn't it be fun? Drop in your comments!

| #Chaospunk Issue #9 | {:|< Alchemy>|:} }]|[ The Epic of Magus Aurelius ]|[[ Stardate Phase 3 : Act 3 ]|
Images property of @chaospunk
Our first post for today is an amazing cyber-punk story that follow one Magus Aurelius on his adventure. I have to admit I really enjoyed reading this story throughout, it's attention grabbing and extremely well written. The images included make it easy to visualize the whole thing and all in all this is some exceptional work! Great job @chaospunk!
Today I did some exploring throughout and around the castle.. after spending some time acknowledging some various oddities I found whilst sightseeing around the castle, I noticed that I was rather impartial to most of what I saw. However, I eventually ventured off into a separate, partitioned section of the castle. I find a warm and spacious room far off to the back of the second floor of the castle. Upon walking into the room there wafts a distinct sweet,woody yet musky odor, as if this room has been left untouched for many years. This room seems to be somewhat undisturbed and uninhabited by the legion of spirits that normally haunt the rest of the castle. For reasons not entirely known to me at this point, the Djinn seem to avoid this area for the most part, so I decided to take some time setting up an impromptu laboratory and workstation here, so I can continue to complete some final experiments, as well as to give me the ample space and solitude necessary for me to complete some important magickal workings I had left on my docket before I was ready to set off and part ways from the desert.
Still a bit of tinkering left for me to do here. -@chaospunk
This story is already a ninth issue of the adventure of Magus Aurelius, so if you enjoy it I warmly recommend you to go back and start reading it from the beginning.

Graphite Portrait | The Witcher (Henry Cavill)
Images property of @hadley4
I have to start talking about this post by just saying: WOW! A huge, satisfied and genuine WOW! This portrait is by far one of the best I've seen during my time on Steemit and I'm not saying this only because I'm a huge fan of Henry Cavill. I'm saying it because the drawing is exceptionally detailed and accurate and it deserves to be seen and praised. Amazing work @hadley4, you are an excellent artist!
First of all, Happy Holidays Steemians!! I hope you're having a great time this time of year, I'm enjoying my Christmas vacation and I took the opportunity to draw a little. I've been a bit stuck with digital art because things don't go as well as I want, so I went back to traditional art and it seems that I haven't lost my touch yet.
Recently the long-awaited series "The Witcher" was released on Netflix, I devoured it immediately, in less than two days I had already finished it and to fill the void it left in me, I decided to portray Geralt of Rivia the protagonist of this story, played by Henry Cavill. -@hadley4

Those who don't care about making music, I really recommend you to check the video out as well. You don't have to learn anything, just enjoy this amazing beat!
I love using simple things for beats that are very open to infinite possibilities in terms of melodies, and this is definitely one of those productions.
While I was doing this rhythm I didn't think about anything else but giving myself a good production, whenever I have it ready, I try melodies with my voice and I was sure that this would be a very nice thing for me, I would love to do a song for it, I probably will.

As the 'month of May' continues, Indy Fever is inevitably growing, and Australian Pro Mazda racer Jake Parsons is far from immune. During the build up to this weekend's Angie's List GP of Indy, the Juncos driver has been soaking up the history of the Speedway.
Speaking after seeing the iconic Borg Warner Trophy, he stated, "It was cool seeing the faces of some of my heroes on there, alongside the greats from the past too."
The Sydneysider had his first taste of the legendary circuit last week, giving pace car rides around the track, which he described as 'an amazing experience.' But the focus now is fully on the next two races in his Mazda Road to Indy Series challenge, to be run on the Indianapolis road course.
"Now we're in a race meeting it's game time. The pressure is on to perform and try to own Indianapolis as my circuit now.", said the #00 car driver. "It's awesome to race on such a special track. I did Bathurst last year, which is the Australian equivalent of Indy, so it's cool to be here now. It's part of every driver's bucket list."
Parsons, who won the 2014 AsiaCup, has been impressed with the Indianapolis GP track so far. "I've seen it on TV for a few years and always thought it looked cool. Now I'm actually here, I really like the smoothness of the circuit. It's kind of European in that it's very wide with a lot of heavy braking zones, and that usually suites me."
After working through some technical gremlins, Parsons finished today's first practice session in fourth position.

i m looking for a solution to have multiple roles for the tacacs+ config on the ACS. (4.1) so that i can have cli read-write access on Nexus switches and also read-write (admin) on the UCS manager which is webbased.
is this possible? network-admin works on Nexus, but i m read-only if i log in to UCS manager.
Ive tried somethings in an ACS test group , but it doesn t work yet.
Does someone know if this is possible and what syntax is correct?
I ve tried different kinds of syntax like this, but no luck yet. Only the first entry works, in this case admin aaa
cisco-av-pair*shell:roles="admin aaa" shell:roles="network-admin"
Like i said, not sure if this is even possible
Thanks in advance!
already found the solution:
this syntax does the trick
cisco-av-pair*shell:roles="network-admin admin aaa"
Where we have to configure and apply these settings. Could you please help.

Hi Veer Pratap,
What ACS code are you using (ACS 4.x or ACS 5.x)?
Configuring ACS 5.x to authenticate Role Based Access Control (RBAC) users on a Nexus 5000 switch via TACACS
In case you're using ACS 4.x then you can configure this attribute per user or per group.
First, go to Interface Configuration -> TACACS+ and enable "Display a window for each service selected in which you can enter customized TACACS+ attributes".
Next, go to the user or group where you want to grant this role and check the box next to "Shell (exec)" and in the custom attributes field below add the role assignment.
If you will be authenticating on both NX-OS and UCS devices, use * instead of = to make the role optional or the UCS devices will fail authorization.

Design is from a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833, in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It is Hokusai's most famous work, and one of the most recognizable works of Japanese art in the world.
The image is from a woodblock print over 180 years old, so there are some blemishes. They were deliberately left on the image, so as not to diminish its history.

The bitter debate over bank stocks
Shrinking margins, mounting compliance costs: there's a lot of reasons not to own the big four lenders. But some investors want a closer look.Karen MaleyColumnist
Whenever a group of funds managers got together for a friendly backyard barbecue over the holiday period, you can be sure the conversation would have turned towards the most fiercely contested subject in their industry right now: whether the time is ripe to own the big four banks.
The topic is a painful one for some fund managers, particularly those whose investment track records have been dragged down by the dismal performance of the big four's stock prices since mid-2015.
Even now they're back at work, the question continues to divide the country's professional investor fraternity.
On Monday, the country's oldest investment company, the ASX- listed Australian Foundation Investment Company (AFIC), told its shareholders it had re-weighted its investment portfolio away from the banks in favour of companies with better growth prospects.
Over the past four years, AFIC's exposure to the major banks has fallen from about 28 per cent to 19 per cent.
AFIC managing director Mark Freeman said the investment company had not "been deliberately negative on the banks" but by not participating in dividend reinvestment programs, it had gradually reduced exposure.
"It's a sector we are watching but it's one that is legitimately out of favour," he said.
Differing views
Mr Freeman's comments were endorsed by many funds managers, who saw in them a perfect summary of their own views.
But others beg to differ. They say they're now tentatively venturing back into bank stocks, because their very unpopularity means they now represent better value than many other stocks in what is fast becoming an absurdly expensive market.
To bolster their case, they point to a research note from JP Morgan that shows the local sharemarket is the most expensive in the world, if financial and materials stocks are excluded, when measured by the one-year forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple.
"If you strip out of our index financials and materials, which combined is about 45 per cent of the ASX 200, the one-year forward multiple is 27.2 times," said JP Morgan's head of equity strategy, Jason Steed.
"We have the dubious honour of being the world's most expensive market by a considerable margin."
Discounted trading
Fund managers say what's very unusual about the local market at present is the high level of dispersion.
Some sectors – particularly infrastructure, healthcare and IT – are benefiting from ultra-low interest rates. As a result, industrial stocks are now trading on a P/E ratio of around 25.
At the same time, a lot of stocks – notably the banks – are missing out on the rally. Bank stocks are still trading on a P/E ratio of around 12.
Although it's quite normal for bank stocks to trade at a discount to industrial stocks, this is usually around 30 per cent, rather than the 50 per cent discount being applied at present.
Of course, there are good reasons why investors are slapping such a hefty discount to bank stocks.
Unlike industrial companies, which benefit from interest rate cuts because this translates into lower borrowing costs, the country's banks are becoming decidedly nervous as official interest rates head toward zero.
That's because when interest rates drop to very low levels, a growing proportion of the banks' deposits are paying nothing, or close to it, so cannot be cut further.
This puts a squeeze on banks' net interest margins (NIM) – the difference between the banks' funding costs and what they charge for loans – especially since the banks face intense political pressure to pass on cuts in official interest rates to their home-loan and business customers.
Multiple challenges
Although the banks have benefited from a fall in the cost of raising money in wholesale markets, most analysts believe further cuts in official rates will only intensify the squeeze on NIMs, which are a key contributor to bank profitability.
This is bad news for bank shareholders because most economists – including those from the big four banks – are tipping the Reserve Bank of Australia board will cut the official cash rate to a record low of 0.5 per cent at its next meeting in early February.
But shrinking NIMs aren't the only challenge facing the banks.
As highly regarded UBS bank analyst Jonathan Mott pointed out in a research note late last year, "the major banks have now completed a disappointing second half 2019 reporting season. There were no winners."
As Mott noted, "the results were heavily impacted by subdued credit growth, remediation costs, NIM pressures and elevated compliance/regulatory spend, as banks dealt with the repercussions of the royal commission and weak economy."
And he sounded a note of caution about the outlook for the banking sector: "We expect the earnings downgrade cycle to continue unless the global economy rebounds sharply and yield curves continue to steepen, easing revenue pressure."
A golden run
If that wasn't cause enough for concern, other analysts insist the souring economy will leave the banks nursing many more problem loans. This will force banks to set aside more provisions to cover their potential credit losses.
They point out banks have enjoyed a golden run, during which they've had few problem loans and have been able to cut their credit impairment charges to historic lows.
If problem loans were to return to more normal levels, they warn, banks would be forced to sharply increase their provisions, which would further erode their profitability.
But some funds managers believe bank analysts are overly gloomy in their outlook.
They point out that if the economy were to stumble badly, the "challenger" non-bank lenders would be more likely to encounter difficulties than the major banks.
This would cause the non-banks to pull back from the market, and this reduction in competition would allow the remaining players to increase lending margins, particularly in areas such as business banking.
Struggles from the GFC
This was the pattern that played out in the GFC, which saw non-bank lenders and smaller regional banks struggle to raise funding in wholesale markets. This allowed Australia's major banks to increase their share of the home-loan market from around 60 per cent to around 73 per cent.
The reduction in competition also meant the banks were able to charge more for loans, which translated into higher lending margins.
Some funds managers argue that analysts don't seem to have considered this possibility, and that their forecasts for earnings over the next few years seem to have factored in both rising bad debts and further margin erosion.
The consensus forecasts for the banks earnings (excluding notable items) for 2022 are either flat (for Commonwealth Bank and National Australia Bank) or lower (Westpac and ANZ Bank) compared to results just reported by the banks.
If their problem loans were to remain low, or their lending margins were to fatten, there's a chance the major banks could – for a change – deliver a positive earnings surprise.

- Existing Bridge
- Document Description
- The Project consists of replacing and widening the existing I-lane bridge (#46C0208) on Avenue 364 over Cottonwood Creek (creek) with a 2-lane bridge (Project). The Project would include replacement and widening of the existing bridge structure. The existing 103-foot-long bridge would be replaced with a 3-span structure having a total length of approximately 110 feet. The new, widened bridge would be approximately 32 feet wide and would accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes, two 2-foot shoulders, and concrete bridge railing (concrete barrier type 80). The roadway approaches would match the curb-to-curb width of the bridge, and taper to match the existing roadway width approximately 230 feet beyond the bridge approaches. The number of through lanes on Avenue 364 (one lane in each direction) would remain the same; therefore, the Project is not considered capacity increasing.

It has long been suggested that massage therapy is good for us and that it can reduce our fatigue and increase our energy. While massage does not directly increase energy, it does reduce fatigue and often decreases the symptoms that sap our energy, resulting in our feeling better. Massage therapy at Serenity Sol Massage has been shown to increase circulation, reduce stress, pain and depression, improved sleep and our immunity – all of which make us feel better, more energized and less fatigued!
Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage
There are many different modalities of massage therapy but most are familiar with Swedish Massage – which includes long, gliding strokes that improve circulation – and deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage uses techniques such as cross-fiber friction to break up adhesions in the muscles; slow, deep strokes and pin-and-stretch techniques to lengthen and stretch muscle fibers; along with ischemic compression on trigger points to release them.
Both of these styles of massage share the same benefits to muscle, as the differences lie in the degree to which they focus on each benefit. For example, Swedish offers greater stress and pain reduction and improved sleep, while deep tissue may do more to reduce pain and muscle tension. Most massage therapists will combine these two styles to maximize the therapeutic benefit for their client by doing Swedish massage in general and using deep tissue techniques on specific areas that need work.
Increase Energy By Reducing Pain
Serenity Sol Massage knows that massage therapy can reduce pain and fatigue both from illness and muscle use. Studies in the clinical setting have shown that massage reduced pain levels and improved function by analyzing qualitative data. Overall pain was reduced significantly and improvements in emotional well-being, relaxation, and ability to sleep were all associated with the reduction in pain. We have all experienced pain that interrupts our ability to focus and even sleep, and can understand how this results in feeling exhausted by the end of the day.
By relieving pain, massage therapy relieves fatigue and indirectly improves our energy levels.
Increase Energy By Reducing Stress and Depression
Clinical trials have shown massage therapy to alleviate depressive symptoms in general and to alleviate depression in those with fibromyalgia. There is an overall statistically significant association between receiving massage therapy and improved levels of perceived stress and depression.
As general fatigue and malaise – as well as low energy – are all associated with both stress and depression, alleviating these symptoms through the use of massage therapy, in turn, increases energy in the recipient.
Increase Energy By Improving Sleep
While over one quarter of us suffer from the occasional bad night's sleep, almost 10% of Americans experience chronic sleep loss, known as insomnia. As a critical function, sleep impacts our mood, our ability to function mentally and make decisions. Even the success of our social interactions are affected by our quality of sleep, all of which greatly impacts our overall feelings of well-being, our energy levels and the levels of fatigue we may experience.
Research has shown that massage therapy can improve sleep quality and duration in children, cancer patients and those suffering from fibromyalgia. And it can certainly aid healthy adults who are stressed out to get a decent night's rest!
By reducing stress and pain levels and bringing the body into a state of relaxation, many people are able to finally reach a state of healing sleep, improving energy levels overall and reducing fatigue.
Massage therapy reduces the chronic symptoms of pain, depression and sleep deprivation that saps our energy. Massage helps us to feel better and function more efficiently.

Aging Reversed for the First Time in Critical Type of Brain Cell
As muscles, joints, and connective tissues stiffen with age, moving our bodies becomes more of an effort than it was in our youth. But there's another part of the body that's affected by stiffness we don't feel, so we're almost entirely unaware of the change. I'm talking about the brain.
As the years creep by, brain cells too suffer from similar stiffness, increasing the risk of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
But in groundbreaking new research, scientists have found a way to reverse brain stiffening and the brain cell aging that results. Keep reading to see why their discovery could hold the […]

This year women's sweaters and jumpers draw inspiration in the feminine lacy knitwear from the 1930s and 1940s, with pretty detailing and embellished knitwear playing a starring role. Ladies cable knit sweaters will also be very popular this year, with celebrities for example Sienna Miller and Jessica Alba getting lately been spotted in cable knit jumpers and hats. Preppy women's cable knit v-neck sweaters in gray, white-colored or deep blue are an easy way to put on the popularity team having a cotton t-shirt, skinny jeans jeans and boots.
Ladies knitted dresses and tunics
Women's knitted dresses and tunic tops are bigger news this year compared to what they were last season. From ankle length belted maxi dresses to knitted small dresses in bold colours, you will find longline made of woll dresses everywhere this winter season. They're a really flattering style because they skim over sides and could be cinched in much more having a wide or skinny belt. Put on your knitted dress with skinny jeans or opaque tights and boots.
Women's cardigans
This winter season, the latest fashions took the classic women's sweater and added numerous modern twists. The waterfall sweater for instance, is definitely an elegant wardrobe staple that is one statement more than a simple t-shirt. Cosy lambswool cardigans and cable knit cardigans will also be major trends this year and lengthy line shapes that skim within the sides are extremely flattering. Fair Isle knitwear can also be in bold designs and colors. Team a vintage women's Fair Isle sweater having a lengthy sleeve top, slim fit jeans jeans and boots to have an elegant casual outfit this winter season.
Women's tank tops
Preppy style has returned and there isn't any simpler method to do it – and add an additional layer in cold temperature – compared to a women's tshirt more than a shirt or lengthy sleeve t-shirt this year. Select a cable knit tshirt to remain on the top from the trend. Alternatively a light-weight cotton ladies tshirt will give you right through to next spring too.
Ladies smock tops
Women's smock tops having a flattering empire line and scoop neck really are a stylish and female way to defend myself against the cold. They're usually lengthy tops which are fitted in the bust and looser in the bust and appear fantastic on pear formed ladies who don't wish to highlight their stomachs. For any sleeker silhouette simply cinch a knitted smock top along with a belt. Presenter Carol Willoughby and actress Rachel Bilson have both lately been spotted in smock tops.

HERE is only one woman for every 13 men in this House. It's unnatural. But then, it's politics. And strange as it may seem, even in this age of quotas, 450 million Indian women were represented by just 39 of their gender in the 10th Lok Sabha whose term has just ended. That's a bare 7.4 per cent. In fact, never in India's 46-year-old history of adult franchise has female representation in Parliament crossed the 10-per cent mark. And the 11th Lok Sabha, slated to see India into the 21st century, is unlikely to be any different.
No, it's not pessimism. It's fact. "An unfortunate fact. Doesn't seem like there will be a significant increase in women's representation this time either. Despite so many years of lip service to the cause. But what else do you expect in a country where Indira Gandhi enjoyed being referred to as the Only Man in the Cabinet," observes political commentator Nikhil Chakravartty. Indeed, the record of India's sole woman prime minister too was dismal. When she was catapulted to power in 1966, there were 34 women in the Lok Sabha. Five years later, as she led her party to a spectacular victory, the number of women MPs dwindled to 22.
"The women's constituency has been least nurtured by women," quips Renuka Chowdhury, Rajya Sabha MP and former TDP insider. An Andhra housewife who made it into politics quite by chance, Chowdhury feels that women leaders who have enjoyed power for years are loath to share it with others of their gender. "Why blame the men alone? Since insecurity won't allow these great women leaders togroom or identify female leadership at the grassroots, the men always get to decide. Naturally, only wives, widows, girlfriends or filmstars get tickets," says an irate Chowdhury. "How else do you explain a whole lot of men fanning Lakshmi Parvathi's aspiration to be chief minister?"
And, at least in politics, when men propose, men themselves dispose. Myths, claims many a woman parliamentarian, are created to keep women out of the House. Says BJP spokeswoman Sushma Swaraj: "Years of post-Independence, male-dominated politics have seen political parties lamenting the apparent lack of eligible, trained and winnable women candidates. An absolute lie." Swaraj, the BJP candidate for the South Delhi seat in this election, claims that her party is going to demand a 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha. But she admitsthat part of the onus has to be shouldered by women by overcoming their reluctance and entering the fray. "I suppose, the increasing role of money and mafia in elections keeps most of the women away," she says.
These times of scam-ridden politics, observe veterans, are going to be very hard for women who dare to nurture political ambitions. Naina Sahni's fate is a case in point. Mayawati is maligned for her love of gold jewellery and alleged liaisons, not for her brand of politics. Many a Jayalalitha, predict old-timers, will have to traverse the whole, harsh route—suffer the humiliation of being molested and manhandled for years in the assembly before gaining complete control. Thus, as a defensive mechanism, they tend to assume imperious postures.
"There is more money than ever before in politics now. Hence, the reluctance of men to let women have a share in the spoils is finding manifestation in increasing violence and vulgarity against members of the fairer sex. Which in turn intimidates women, and they stay off politics," says Vimla Farooqui, vice-president of the Federation of Indian Women and member of the CPI national council. Disgusted by the absence of value-based politics in this era, Farooqui, whose political career was born during the freedom struggle, says: "Votes today demand money and muscle. Women have neither."
But they have the grit. And a dogged determination to keep knocking at the doors of that elusive House. For, inside is the power to improve the lot of other women.
Denied a ticket for the second time, the general secretary of Janata Dal's Delhi wing, Husna Subhani, refuses to surrender hope. Next time, she promises, the party will have to relent. "How long will V.P. Singh keep promising women equal representation and hide underground when it's time for ticket-distribution? We won't give up," she swears. Resenting the fact that most women workers are used only as 'showpieces' to flaunt the party's pro-woman image at functions, Subhani says that this facade will have to end soon. "Otherwise they will have half the country's vote bank rebelling against them."
But some prefer evolution to revolution. Gradual change in social attitudes, supported by policy, might see more women in leadership roles, feels Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairperson Najma Heptulla. "After all, how many women have made it to the top in other professions? It's a struggle for women everywhere. Don't single out politics," she argues. "Nothing changes overnight."
RELEGATED to the dark abyss of illiteracy and economic deprivation, the waiting too long for a dawn that will be hers. The statistics are depressing—the '91 Census puts female literacy at 39.42 per cent compared to 63.86 for males; 80 per cent of the female workforce is in the unorganised sectors where wages are low.
But, women activists swear that this electorate of illiterate and poor women does want to exercise its voting rights. It wants rulers who are approachable and who share their concerns. "Most rural women are extremely keen to discuss their problems with the authorities but never know who to approach," says Neelam Gore of Krantikari Mahila Sangathan, a Pune-based NGO which is working towards raising voters' education and leadership mobilisation among women in Osmanabad, Latur, Akola and Nagpur.
A recent survey conducted by the NGO in Hudaksar, in the hinterland off Pune, revealed that only three among 100 women knew the names of their MP, MLA or corporator. "This is primarily because none of these netas ever bother to reach out to women. They assume, and perhaps rightly so, that the men will decide who the family votes for. A leader of their own gender would make such a difference to the lives of these women," Gore avers.
Having stumbled upon a similar realisation, Renuka Mishra of Nirantar, an NGO which aspires to raise political awareness among women in Uttar Pradesh's Banda district, says: "Rural women are keen to assume leadership roles. It's ridiculous to hear parties complain that women don't want to get into 'dirty politics'. I say, give them a chance and they will clean it up."
The chance will have to be snatched, feel many. According to the National Commission for Women (NCW), reservations could be the only way out. The Commission's 1996 manifesto urges all parties to 'ensure' that no less than 50 per cent of the contestants are women. And a charged Mohini Giri, NCW chairwoman, plans to lobby in the first session of the new Parliament for a bill reserving 33 per cent Lok Sabha seats for women: "We'll form pressure groups. Reservations were the only way we managed participation at the panchayat level and are the only way to access Lok Sabha. The next polls will be different."
Meanwhile, Women's Political Watch (WPW), an NGO committed to mainstreaming women in public policy and political leadership, is pressing for 33 per cent representation of women in the Central and state legislatures. And a further 33 per cent representation in all policy-making inner structures of political parties. "This can happen only if women organise themselves as an electoral force. And pledge not to vote for parties that do not give adequate representation to women," says WPW president Veena Nayyar. "The common woman has to do it herself. After all, her counterparts in Parliament have done little for her."
Mrinal Pande, joint editor of Hindi Hindustan , agrees. According to her, male-dominated selection criterion during ticket distribution leads to ineffective women leaders getting into Parliament. "If you select dumb dolls, they'll behave like dumb dolls," she reasons. Pande observes that the male politician is averse to having aggressive female colleagues. "So, usually gentle, soft-spoken women who smile well into the camera are bestowed with ministerial responsibilities. Informally, they whine about being sidelined, but the lack of the support from the old boys' network keeps them from challenging or quitting the party and causing embarrassment."
But how long can embarrassment be kept at bay? Half of India's vote bank is eager to ask awkward questions. And the 39 women parliamentarians might not be able to answer those queries.
