By Sanjeev Miglani NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi never asked U.S. President Donald Trump to help mediate with Pakistan in their dispute over the Kashmir region, the government said on Tuesday, after Trump’s comments set off a storm of criticism. Trump told reporters on Mon- day that Modi had asked him dur- ing a meeting in Japan last month if he would like to be a mediator on Kashmir. The territory is at the heart of decades of hostility between India and Pakistan. Trump was speaking at the White House just before holding talks with Pakistani Prime Minis- ter Imran Khan. Khan welcomed the U.S. effort to intercede, saying he would carry the hopes of more than a billion people in the region. But the comments triggered a political storm in India, which has long bristled at any suggestion of third-party involvement in tack- ling Kashmir, a Muslim-majority region that it considers an integral part of the country. Foreign Minister Subrahman- yan Jaishankar, who was part of the Indian delegation at the G20 meeting where Trump and Modi met, told agitated lawmakers that Modi did not seek any help from Trump over Kashmir. “The U.S. president made cer- tain remarks to the effect he was ready to mediate if requested by India and Pakistan. I categorically assure the house that no such re- quest has been made by the prime minister, I repeat, no such request was made,” he told parliament. The divided Himalayan region is claimed by both Hindu-majority India and Muslim Pakistan and the nuclear-armed neighbors have gone to war twice over the terri- tory since independence in 1947. Pakistan has long pressed for the implementation of decades-old U.N. resolutions calling for a bal- lot for the region to decide its fu- ture. India says the United Nations has no role in Kashmir, where sep- aratist militants have been battling Indian forces for years. Trump’s comments risked fur- ther straining political ties with India, which are already under pressure over trade. Jaishankar said there could be no third-party involvement in India’s problems with Pakistan. “I also reiterate that it has been India’s position that all outstand- ing issues are discussed only bi- laterally. I further underline any engagement with Pakistan would require an end to cross-border terrorism.” Khan said on Tuesday he was surprised by India’s reaction to the Trump offer of mediation. “Gener- ations of Kashmiris have suffered & are suffering daily and need conflict resolution,” he said.

NEW DELHI - Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a panel of four cabinet ministers to exam-ine ways to prevent workplace sexual harassment a ministry spokesman said on Wednesday as activists criticised the of-ficial response to the MeToo movement

The movement triggered a public outcry in traditionally conservative India with former junior Foreign Minister M J Akbar and Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi among dozens of high-profile men accused of sexual misconduct

The new panel which includes Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani and Fi-nance Minister Nirmala Sith-araman was set up last week a home ministry official told Reuters

ldquoThe group of ministers was set up on July 18 since the pre-vious panel lapsed ahead of the formation of the new govern-mentrdquo spokesman Shelat Harit Ketan said

The new government was formed after the general election victory of Prime Minister Nar-endra Modirsquos Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party in May

The previous panel which

made no public recommenda-tions had been set up after the MeToo online campaign to out alleged sexual harassers which had begun in the US entertain-ment industry took off in India in late 2018

A year after the accusa-tions surfaced activists say the movement has gone quiet in India after some of the accused fought back with defamation suits

Akbar who resigned as junior

foreign minister after the accu-sations is suing one of his ac-cusers while Gogoi was cleared of sexual misconduct by a panel of judges in May to protests

Both have consistently denied wrongdoing

ldquoThere has been negative pub-licity hardly any cases have been filedrdquo said prominent womenrsquos rights activist and lawyer Flavia Agnes ldquoComplainants are afraid of approaching the courts or fil-ing criminal complaintsrdquo

Opposition Congress lawmak-er Sushmita Dev called the gov-ernmentrsquos decision a knee-jerk reaction to criticism of its fail-ure to make public the findings of the earlier panel

ldquoIt is a foregone conclusion that nothing was done in the past That is why the proceed-ings were hiddenrdquo she said ldquoThe new committee should hold consultations with all stakeholders and thoroughly ex-amine existing legislationrdquo

Film-makers historians urge Modi to stop mob attacks on minorities

By Shilpa Jamkhandikar

A group of Bollywood film makers historians and citizens have written to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to stop mob attacks on mi-nority Muslims and others at the bottom of society

Hindu mobs have targeted Muslims on suspicion of slaugh-tering cows they consider sa-cred as well as Dalits the lowest group in the Hindu caste hier-archy for being engaged in the cattle trade

Upper-caste Hindus consider

the cow to be a holy animal that should be revered while lower caste Dalits and minor-ity Muslims slaughter cows and consume beef for business and nutritional purposes

ldquoThe lynching of Muslims Dalits and other minorities must be stopped immediatelyrdquo the sig-natories said in the letter released to the media on Wednesday

Among signatories of the let-ter were Anurag Kashyap who is directing Netflixrsquos marquee show ldquoSacred Gamesrdquo and historian Ramachandra Guha

Last month a Hindu crowd

lynched a 24-year old Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand igniting nationwide protests

Mobile phone videos shared on local television channels showed Ansari tied to a pole and begging for mercy as some men beat him with sticks and forced him to chant his devotion to Hindu gods

Critics accuse Modirsquos Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Par-ty of a deep-seated bias against Indian Muslims and say hardline groups allied to the BJP have be-come emboldened by his huge victory in the May elections

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-dent Donald Trump claimed Monday he could end the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghani-stan in a matter of days but that it would kill millions of people and wipe the country ldquooff the face of the earthrdquo

The president made the state-ment at the White House as he praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and sought his help in negotiating a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan

ldquoI could win that war in a week I just donrsquot want to kill 10 million peoplerdquo Trump told re-porters in the Oval Office ldquoIf I wanted to win that war Afghani-stan would be wiped off the face of the earth It would be gone It would be over literally in 10 daysrdquo

Warming up to Khan marked a turnaround for Trump who has been sharply critical of Pakistan and now hopes Khanrsquos govern-ment will use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help the US withdraw from the war

The war began when the US went after al-Qaida leader Osa-ma bin Laden and his Taliban

supporters in Afghanistan fol-lowing the Sept 11 2001 at-tacks Sitting alongside Khan Trump said he wanted a peace-ful resolution ldquoSo wersquore work-ing with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselvesrdquo he said

The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan saying the only thing it offered the United States was ldquoliesrdquo and ldquodeceitrdquo

Khan has bashed Trump too but now says Pakistan is also ea-ger to work to end the war The US wants Pakistan to use its le-verage to get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire negotiate with the Afghan government and stop harboring militant groups

Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC who sat in on the meeting said ldquoPeace with honor and dignity in Afghanistan is only possible with the complete buy-in of Pakistanrdquo

ldquoIf the Taliban are denied sanctuary in Pakistan this war will end quickly and on our termsrdquo Graham said adding that he thinks Pakistanrsquos leaders are ready for change ldquoIt is my hope that we can negotiate a free trade agreement between the Unit-

Trump seeks Pakistanrsquos help to end long Afghanistan wared States and Pakistan which would be of mutual economic benefit and an incentive to main-tain stability in the regionrdquo

US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government and Taliban at-tacks have continued Khalilzad leaves Tuesday on a nearly two-week trip to Afghanistan where he will confer with members of the Afghan government and lat-er Qatar where he will resume talks with the Taliban

ldquoItrsquos the closest wersquove been to a peace dealrdquo Khan told Trump ldquoAnd I hope in the com-ing days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Af-ghan government and come to a political solutionrdquo

Trumprsquos casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Af-ghans who have fought against the Taliban alongside their US and NATO partners for years Afghans also are wary of Paki-stanrsquos involvement in their countryrsquos future For years the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a

safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long porous border

As the war has dragged on relations between the US and Pakistan have gone up and down

They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the US carried out the raid on bin Ladenrsquos compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up The relationship didnrsquot improve when Trump took office

In January 2018 Trump tweet-ed ldquoThe United States has fool-ishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have giv-en us nothing but lies amp deceit thinking of our leaders as fools They give safe haven to the ter-rorists we hunt in Afghanistan with little helprdquo

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

NEW DELHI - Home Minister Amit Shah will chair a panel of four cabinet ministers to exam-ine ways to prevent workplace sexual harassment a ministry spokesman said on Wednesday as activists criticised the of-ficial response to the MeToo movement

The movement triggered a public outcry in traditionally conservative India with former junior Foreign Minister M J Akbar and Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi among dozens of high-profile men accused of sexual misconduct

The new panel which includes Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani and Fi-nance Minister Nirmala Sith-araman was set up last week a home ministry official told Reuters

ldquoThe group of ministers was set up on July 18 since the pre-vious panel lapsed ahead of the formation of the new govern-mentrdquo spokesman Shelat Harit Ketan said

The new government was formed after the general election victory of Prime Minister Nar-endra Modirsquos Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party in May

The previous panel which

made no public recommenda-tions had been set up after the MeToo online campaign to out alleged sexual harassers which had begun in the US entertain-ment industry took off in India in late 2018

A year after the accusa-tions surfaced activists say the movement has gone quiet in India after some of the accused fought back with defamation suits

Akbar who resigned as junior

foreign minister after the accu-sations is suing one of his ac-cusers while Gogoi was cleared of sexual misconduct by a panel of judges in May to protests

Both have consistently denied wrongdoing

ldquoThere has been negative pub-licity hardly any cases have been filedrdquo said prominent womenrsquos rights activist and lawyer Flavia Agnes ldquoComplainants are afraid of approaching the courts or fil-ing criminal complaintsrdquo

Opposition Congress lawmak-er Sushmita Dev called the gov-ernmentrsquos decision a knee-jerk reaction to criticism of its fail-ure to make public the findings of the earlier panel

ldquoIt is a foregone conclusion that nothing was done in the past That is why the proceed-ings were hiddenrdquo she said ldquoThe new committee should hold consultations with all stakeholders and thoroughly ex-amine existing legislationrdquo

Film-makers historians urge Modi to stop mob attacks on minorities

By Shilpa Jamkhandikar

A group of Bollywood film makers historians and citizens have written to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to stop mob attacks on mi-nority Muslims and others at the bottom of society

Hindu mobs have targeted Muslims on suspicion of slaugh-tering cows they consider sa-cred as well as Dalits the lowest group in the Hindu caste hier-archy for being engaged in the cattle trade

Upper-caste Hindus consider

the cow to be a holy animal that should be revered while lower caste Dalits and minor-ity Muslims slaughter cows and consume beef for business and nutritional purposes

ldquoThe lynching of Muslims Dalits and other minorities must be stopped immediatelyrdquo the sig-natories said in the letter released to the media on Wednesday

Among signatories of the let-ter were Anurag Kashyap who is directing Netflixrsquos marquee show ldquoSacred Gamesrdquo and historian Ramachandra Guha

Last month a Hindu crowd

lynched a 24-year old Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand igniting nationwide protests

Mobile phone videos shared on local television channels showed Ansari tied to a pole and begging for mercy as some men beat him with sticks and forced him to chant his devotion to Hindu gods

Critics accuse Modirsquos Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Par-ty of a deep-seated bias against Indian Muslims and say hardline groups allied to the BJP have be-come emboldened by his huge victory in the May elections

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-dent Donald Trump claimed Monday he could end the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghani-stan in a matter of days but that it would kill millions of people and wipe the country ldquooff the face of the earthrdquo

The president made the state-ment at the White House as he praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and sought his help in negotiating a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan

ldquoI could win that war in a week I just donrsquot want to kill 10 million peoplerdquo Trump told re-porters in the Oval Office ldquoIf I wanted to win that war Afghani-stan would be wiped off the face of the earth It would be gone It would be over literally in 10 daysrdquo

Warming up to Khan marked a turnaround for Trump who has been sharply critical of Pakistan and now hopes Khanrsquos govern-ment will use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help the US withdraw from the war

The war began when the US went after al-Qaida leader Osa-ma bin Laden and his Taliban

supporters in Afghanistan fol-lowing the Sept 11 2001 at-tacks Sitting alongside Khan Trump said he wanted a peace-ful resolution ldquoSo wersquore work-ing with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselvesrdquo he said

The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan saying the only thing it offered the United States was ldquoliesrdquo and ldquodeceitrdquo

Khan has bashed Trump too but now says Pakistan is also ea-ger to work to end the war The US wants Pakistan to use its le-verage to get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire negotiate with the Afghan government and stop harboring militant groups

Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC who sat in on the meeting said ldquoPeace with honor and dignity in Afghanistan is only possible with the complete buy-in of Pakistanrdquo

ldquoIf the Taliban are denied sanctuary in Pakistan this war will end quickly and on our termsrdquo Graham said adding that he thinks Pakistanrsquos leaders are ready for change ldquoIt is my hope that we can negotiate a free trade agreement between the Unit-

Trump seeks Pakistanrsquos help to end long Afghanistan wared States and Pakistan which would be of mutual economic benefit and an incentive to main-tain stability in the regionrdquo

US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government and Taliban at-tacks have continued Khalilzad leaves Tuesday on a nearly two-week trip to Afghanistan where he will confer with members of the Afghan government and lat-er Qatar where he will resume talks with the Taliban

ldquoItrsquos the closest wersquove been to a peace dealrdquo Khan told Trump ldquoAnd I hope in the com-ing days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Af-ghan government and come to a political solutionrdquo

Trumprsquos casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Af-ghans who have fought against the Taliban alongside their US and NATO partners for years Afghans also are wary of Paki-stanrsquos involvement in their countryrsquos future For years the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a

safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long porous border

As the war has dragged on relations between the US and Pakistan have gone up and down

They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the US carried out the raid on bin Ladenrsquos compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up The relationship didnrsquot improve when Trump took office

In January 2018 Trump tweet-ed ldquoThe United States has fool-ishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have giv-en us nothing but lies amp deceit thinking of our leaders as fools They give safe haven to the ter-rorists we hunt in Afghanistan with little helprdquo

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

ENTERTAINMENT

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-dent Donald Trump claimed Monday he could end the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghani-stan in a matter of days but that it would kill millions of people and wipe the country ldquooff the face of the earthrdquo

The president made the state-ment at the White House as he praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and sought his help in negotiating a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan

ldquoI could win that war in a week I just donrsquot want to kill 10 million peoplerdquo Trump told re-porters in the Oval Office ldquoIf I wanted to win that war Afghani-stan would be wiped off the face of the earth It would be gone It would be over literally in 10 daysrdquo

Warming up to Khan marked a turnaround for Trump who has been sharply critical of Pakistan and now hopes Khanrsquos govern-ment will use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help the US withdraw from the war

The war began when the US went after al-Qaida leader Osa-ma bin Laden and his Taliban

supporters in Afghanistan fol-lowing the Sept 11 2001 at-tacks Sitting alongside Khan Trump said he wanted a peace-ful resolution ldquoSo wersquore work-ing with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselvesrdquo he said

The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan saying the only thing it offered the United States was ldquoliesrdquo and ldquodeceitrdquo

Khan has bashed Trump too but now says Pakistan is also ea-ger to work to end the war The US wants Pakistan to use its le-verage to get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire negotiate with the Afghan government and stop harboring militant groups

Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC who sat in on the meeting said ldquoPeace with honor and dignity in Afghanistan is only possible with the complete buy-in of Pakistanrdquo

ldquoIf the Taliban are denied sanctuary in Pakistan this war will end quickly and on our termsrdquo Graham said adding that he thinks Pakistanrsquos leaders are ready for change ldquoIt is my hope that we can negotiate a free trade agreement between the Unit-

Trump seeks Pakistanrsquos help to end long Afghanistan wared States and Pakistan which would be of mutual economic benefit and an incentive to main-tain stability in the regionrdquo

US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government and Taliban at-tacks have continued Khalilzad leaves Tuesday on a nearly two-week trip to Afghanistan where he will confer with members of the Afghan government and lat-er Qatar where he will resume talks with the Taliban

ldquoItrsquos the closest wersquove been to a peace dealrdquo Khan told Trump ldquoAnd I hope in the com-ing days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Af-ghan government and come to a political solutionrdquo

Trumprsquos casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Af-ghans who have fought against the Taliban alongside their US and NATO partners for years Afghans also are wary of Paki-stanrsquos involvement in their countryrsquos future For years the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a

safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long porous border

As the war has dragged on relations between the US and Pakistan have gone up and down

They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the US carried out the raid on bin Ladenrsquos compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up The relationship didnrsquot improve when Trump took office

In January 2018 Trump tweet-ed ldquoThe United States has fool-ishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have giv-en us nothing but lies amp deceit thinking of our leaders as fools They give safe haven to the ter-rorists we hunt in Afghanistan with little helprdquo

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-dent Donald Trump claimed Monday he could end the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghani-stan in a matter of days but that it would kill millions of people and wipe the country ldquooff the face of the earthrdquo

The president made the state-ment at the White House as he praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and sought his help in negotiating a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan

ldquoI could win that war in a week I just donrsquot want to kill 10 million peoplerdquo Trump told re-porters in the Oval Office ldquoIf I wanted to win that war Afghani-stan would be wiped off the face of the earth It would be gone It would be over literally in 10 daysrdquo

Warming up to Khan marked a turnaround for Trump who has been sharply critical of Pakistan and now hopes Khanrsquos govern-ment will use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help the US withdraw from the war

The war began when the US went after al-Qaida leader Osa-ma bin Laden and his Taliban

supporters in Afghanistan fol-lowing the Sept 11 2001 at-tacks Sitting alongside Khan Trump said he wanted a peace-ful resolution ldquoSo wersquore work-ing with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselvesrdquo he said

The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan saying the only thing it offered the United States was ldquoliesrdquo and ldquodeceitrdquo

Khan has bashed Trump too but now says Pakistan is also ea-ger to work to end the war The US wants Pakistan to use its le-verage to get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire negotiate with the Afghan government and stop harboring militant groups

Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC who sat in on the meeting said ldquoPeace with honor and dignity in Afghanistan is only possible with the complete buy-in of Pakistanrdquo

ldquoIf the Taliban are denied sanctuary in Pakistan this war will end quickly and on our termsrdquo Graham said adding that he thinks Pakistanrsquos leaders are ready for change ldquoIt is my hope that we can negotiate a free trade agreement between the Unit-

Trump seeks Pakistanrsquos help to end long Afghanistan wared States and Pakistan which would be of mutual economic benefit and an incentive to main-tain stability in the regionrdquo

US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government and Taliban at-tacks have continued Khalilzad leaves Tuesday on a nearly two-week trip to Afghanistan where he will confer with members of the Afghan government and lat-er Qatar where he will resume talks with the Taliban

ldquoItrsquos the closest wersquove been to a peace dealrdquo Khan told Trump ldquoAnd I hope in the com-ing days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Af-ghan government and come to a political solutionrdquo

Trumprsquos casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Af-ghans who have fought against the Taliban alongside their US and NATO partners for years Afghans also are wary of Paki-stanrsquos involvement in their countryrsquos future For years the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a

safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long porous border

As the war has dragged on relations between the US and Pakistan have gone up and down

They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the US carried out the raid on bin Ladenrsquos compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up The relationship didnrsquot improve when Trump took office

In January 2018 Trump tweet-ed ldquoThe United States has fool-ishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have giv-en us nothing but lies amp deceit thinking of our leaders as fools They give safe haven to the ter-rorists we hunt in Afghanistan with little helprdquo

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

LAHORE - A court in Pakistan on Wednesday remanded to cus-tody Hafi z Saeed accused of mas-terminding a four-day attack on Indiarsquos fi nancial capital in 2008 after a hearing following his arrest last week on terrorism fi nancing charges his lawyer said

Saeedrsquos arrest came just ahead of a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan and was widely seen as a move by the Is-lamabad government to smoothe the way before a meeting with US President Donald Trump

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

Poonam Sethi in 2013 had fi led a check bounced case against Koena Mitra for ldquowant for fundsrdquo While Mitra has denied the allegations the ac-tress plans to challenge the judgement Magistrate Ketaki Chavan of Andheri Metropoli-tan Court rejected the argu-ments made by Koena Mitra The actress stated that model Poonam Sethi did not have enough fi nancial capacity to lend her Rs 22 lakh and that she stole her checks The mag-istrate did not accept any of her defenses The court observed that both contentions were mutually contradictory

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Meanwhile the fi lm has been under the scanner for reportedly focusing too much on Kumarrsquos character even though the mis-

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-dent Donald Trump claimed Monday he could end the nearly two-decade-old war in Afghani-stan in a matter of days but that it would kill millions of people and wipe the country ldquooff the face of the earthrdquo

The president made the state-ment at the White House as he praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and sought his help in negotiating a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan

ldquoI could win that war in a week I just donrsquot want to kill 10 million peoplerdquo Trump told re-porters in the Oval Office ldquoIf I wanted to win that war Afghani-stan would be wiped off the face of the earth It would be gone It would be over literally in 10 daysrdquo

Warming up to Khan marked a turnaround for Trump who has been sharply critical of Pakistan and now hopes Khanrsquos govern-ment will use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help the US withdraw from the war

The war began when the US went after al-Qaida leader Osa-ma bin Laden and his Taliban

supporters in Afghanistan fol-lowing the Sept 11 2001 at-tacks Sitting alongside Khan Trump said he wanted a peace-ful resolution ldquoSo wersquore work-ing with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselvesrdquo he said

The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan saying the only thing it offered the United States was ldquoliesrdquo and ldquodeceitrdquo

Khan has bashed Trump too but now says Pakistan is also ea-ger to work to end the war The US wants Pakistan to use its le-verage to get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire negotiate with the Afghan government and stop harboring militant groups

Sen Lindsey Graham R-SC who sat in on the meeting said ldquoPeace with honor and dignity in Afghanistan is only possible with the complete buy-in of Pakistanrdquo

ldquoIf the Taliban are denied sanctuary in Pakistan this war will end quickly and on our termsrdquo Graham said adding that he thinks Pakistanrsquos leaders are ready for change ldquoIt is my hope that we can negotiate a free trade agreement between the Unit-

Trump seeks Pakistanrsquos help to end long Afghanistan wared States and Pakistan which would be of mutual economic benefit and an incentive to main-tain stability in the regionrdquo

US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government and Taliban at-tacks have continued Khalilzad leaves Tuesday on a nearly two-week trip to Afghanistan where he will confer with members of the Afghan government and lat-er Qatar where he will resume talks with the Taliban

ldquoItrsquos the closest wersquove been to a peace dealrdquo Khan told Trump ldquoAnd I hope in the com-ing days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Af-ghan government and come to a political solutionrdquo

Trumprsquos casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Af-ghans who have fought against the Taliban alongside their US and NATO partners for years Afghans also are wary of Paki-stanrsquos involvement in their countryrsquos future For years the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a

safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long porous border

As the war has dragged on relations between the US and Pakistan have gone up and down

They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the US carried out the raid on bin Ladenrsquos compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up The relationship didnrsquot improve when Trump took office

In January 2018 Trump tweet-ed ldquoThe United States has fool-ishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years and they have giv-en us nothing but lies amp deceit thinking of our leaders as fools They give safe haven to the ter-rorists we hunt in Afghanistan with little helprdquo

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

LAHORE - A court in Pakistan on Wednesday remanded to cus-tody Hafi z Saeed accused of mas-terminding a four-day attack on Indiarsquos fi nancial capital in 2008 after a hearing following his arrest last week on terrorism fi nancing charges his lawyer said

Saeedrsquos arrest came just ahead of a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan and was widely seen as a move by the Is-lamabad government to smoothe the way before a meeting with US President Donald Trump

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

Pakistan arrests US-wanted terror suspect in Mumbai attacks

LAHORE - A court in Pakistan on Wednesday remanded to cus-tody Hafi z Saeed accused of mas-terminding a four-day attack on Indiarsquos fi nancial capital in 2008 after a hearing following his arrest last week on terrorism fi nancing charges his lawyer said

Saeedrsquos arrest came just ahead of a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan and was widely seen as a move by the Is-lamabad government to smoothe the way before a meeting with US President Donald Trump

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

ldquoAfter a ten year search the so-called ldquomastermindrdquo of the Mumbai Terror attacks has been arrested in Pakistanrdquo President Donald Trump tweeted Wednes-day ldquoGreat pressure has been ex-erted over the last two years to fi nd himrdquo

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Meanwhile the fi lm has been under the scanner for reportedly focusing too much on Kumarrsquos character even though the mis-

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

LAHORE - A court in Pakistan on Wednesday remanded to cus-tody Hafi z Saeed accused of mas-terminding a four-day attack on Indiarsquos fi nancial capital in 2008 after a hearing following his arrest last week on terrorism fi nancing charges his lawyer said

Saeedrsquos arrest came just ahead of a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan and was widely seen as a move by the Is-lamabad government to smoothe the way before a meeting with US President Donald Trump

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

THE HAGUE - The World Court last Wednesday ordered Pakistan to review the death penalty given in 2017 to former Indian navy commander Kulb-hushan Sudhir Jadhav who was convicted of being a spy

The 16-judge panel said Paki-stan has to provide an ldquoeff ective reviewrdquo of the case and added that a ldquocontinued stay of execu-tionrdquo of Jadhav was needed for that to happen

Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi welcomed the ruling tweeting that ldquoTruth and justice have prevailedrdquo

ldquoI am sure Kulbhushan Jad-hav will get justicerdquo he added

India had asked the UN court formally known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to intervene in the case as it said Jadhav had been given an unfair trial and had been de-nied diplomatic assistance by Pakistan

Pakistan argued that based un-der a bilateral treaty between the nations it was not obligated to allow diplomatic assistance for people suspected of being spies or terrorists

The court dismissed that ar-gument and found by 15 votes to 1 that Pakistan had breached Jadhavrsquos rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Rela-tions by not allowing Indian diplomats to visit him in jail or

World Court orders review of Pakistan death sentence for Indianassist him during his trial at a military court

The ICJ has no means to en-force its rulings which are fi nal and without appeal It is unclear from the ruling what exactly would constitute an eff ective review of Jadhavrsquos sentence

Judges did say that Islamabad would need to take all neces-sary measures including chang-ing their laws to ensure Jadhavrsquos case will be properly reviewed

Pakistanrsquos attorney general Anwar Mansoor Khan told jour-nalists outside the Peace Palace in the Hague that he considers the case ldquoa clear win for Paki-stanrdquo as the court did not or-der the acquittal and release of Jadhav as India had sought

He added that Pakistan would consider the review of Jadhavrsquos case as ordered by the UN court but said a Pakistani court of law would have to decide how to proceed with that When asked by journalists if that meant In-dian diplomats would get access to Jadhav he stressed that was up to the court

ldquoThat court of law will act in accordance with the provisions contained in the Vienna conven-tions so we will have to wait

for the court of law to give its judgmentrdquo Khan said

Pakistanrsquos Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the ruling was ldquoappropriaterdquo and an endorsement of his countryrsquos stance

ldquoThe point is whether Com-mander Jadhav didnrsquot have a right to review under our laws - that was thererdquo he said ldquoThe decision which the mili-tary court gave he could have appealed thatrdquo

Pakistan reopens its airspace to commercial flights by India

KARACHI (AP) - Pakistan has reopened its airspace for all commercial traffi c following months of restrictions imposed after a standoff with India over the disputed Kashmir region earlier this year

The Civil Aviation Authority says the airspace is fully open as of last Tuesday for all fl ights

including those by Air India and other Indian service providers

Pakistan closed its airspace in February after saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and captured a pilot escalating ten-sions between the nuclear-armed rivals following a bombing in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 Indian troops

That attack was blamed on the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muham-mad militant group now banned in Pakistan

The closures snarled air traffi c The pilot was later handed back to India

Pakistan in March partially reopened its airspace but kept India banned from using it

People wait before the issue of a verdict in the case of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav by International Court of Justice in Mumbai India

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Pakistan arrests US-wanted terror suspect in Mumbai attacks

LAHORE - A court in Pakistan on Wednesday remanded to cus-tody Hafi z Saeed accused of mas-terminding a four-day attack on Indiarsquos fi nancial capital in 2008 after a hearing following his arrest last week on terrorism fi nancing charges his lawyer said

Saeedrsquos arrest came just ahead of a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan and was widely seen as a move by the Is-lamabad government to smoothe the way before a meeting with US President Donald Trump

The United States has off ered a reward of $10 million for infor-mation leading to the conviction of Saeed who has been arrested and released several times over the past decade

In response Pakistan registered over a dozen cases against Saeed and several of his associates ac-cusing them of funding militant groups through charities and lead-ing to Wednesdayrsquos arrest

ldquoAfter a ten year search the so-called ldquomastermindrdquo of the Mumbai Terror attacks has been arrested in Pakistanrdquo President Donald Trump tweeted Wednes-day ldquoGreat pressure has been ex-erted over the last two years to fi nd himrdquo

On Wednesday an anti-terror-ism court in Gujranwala near the eastern city of Lahore remanded Saeed to custody for 14 days while counter-terrorism offi cials com-plete investigations the lawyer Imran Fazal said

US offi cials have long pres-sured Pakistan to try Saeed who is designated a terrorist by the Unit-ed States and the United Nations

He is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or the Army of the Pure a militant group blamed by the United States and India for the attacks that killed more than 160 people

He has denied any involve-ment and said his network which spans 300 seminaries and schools hospitals a publishing house and ambulance services has no ties to militant groups

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Mission Mangal

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Meanwhile the fi lm has been under the scanner for reportedly focusing too much on Kumarrsquos character even though the mis-

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

30 Saturday July 27 2019

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

GUWAHATI - Heavy mon-soon rains in Assam displaced more than a million people from their homes and flash floods killed at least 10 in the past 72 hours state authori-ties said warning the situa-tion could worsen in coming days

The Brahmaputra river which flows from the Himalayas into India and then through Ban-gladesh has burst its banks swamping more than 1800 vil-lages in the state

Torrential rains have affected at least 25 of Assamrsquos 32 dis-tricts and the federal water re-sources body said water levels in the Brahmaputra were expected to rise with more rains forecast over the next three days

ldquoThe flood situation remains extremely criticalrdquo Assamrsquos Water Resources Minister Kes-

hab Mahanta told ReutersAssam known for its fine

quality teas has for several years battled floods and heavy rains that have claimed dozens of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands of people

Assam was on a maximum alert due to heavy rains forecast over the next few days govern-

ment officials saidPeople in the state were also

at threat from Japanese enceph-alitis a mosquito-borne viral infection government officials said More than 160 people have been killed since January by the infection

The government said it had met to review flooding across

different parts of the country and emergency teams had res-cued 750 people in Assam and nearby Bihar state where the Kosi River had risen above the danger mark

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Meanwhile the fi lm has been under the scanner for reportedly focusing too much on Kumarrsquos character even though the mis-

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

check bouncing case

Koena Mitra the original lsquoSaki Sakirsquo girl has landed in major trouble The actress has been convicted by a metro-politan court and is ordered six monthsrsquo jail in check bouncing case

Poonam Sethi in 2013 had fi led a check bounced case against Koena Mitra for ldquowant for fundsrdquo While Mitra has denied the allegations the ac-tress plans to challenge the judgement Magistrate Ketaki Chavan of Andheri Metropoli-tan Court rejected the argu-ments made by Koena Mitra The actress stated that model Poonam Sethi did not have enough fi nancial capacity to lend her Rs 22 lakh and that she stole her checks The mag-istrate did not accept any of her defenses The court observed that both contentions were mutually contradictory

Koena Mitra said that she was framed and that the case was false Her lawyer could not be present during the fi nal argu-ment and she claimed that her side was not heard and the order was passed without her hearing She said that she would be chal-lenging the judgement in the higher court

The case dates back to 2013 The complainant stated that over a period of time Koena Mitra had borrowed Rs 22 lakh from her During the repayment of this loan her check of Rs 3 lakh bounced Poonam Sethi then sent a legal notice to Mitra on July 19 2013 but the actress failed to repay again

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Meanwhile the fi lm has been under the scanner for reportedly focusing too much on Kumarrsquos character even though the mis-

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

By P Ravikumarand Sachin Ravikumar

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Koena Mitra the original lsquoSaki Sakirsquo girl has landed in major trouble The actress has been convicted by a metro-politan court and is ordered six monthsrsquo jail in check bouncing case

Poonam Sethi in 2013 had fi led a check bounced case against Koena Mitra for ldquowant for fundsrdquo While Mitra has denied the allegations the ac-tress plans to challenge the judgement Magistrate Ketaki Chavan of Andheri Metropoli-tan Court rejected the argu-ments made by Koena Mitra The actress stated that model Poonam Sethi did not have enough fi nancial capacity to lend her Rs 22 lakh and that she stole her checks The mag-istrate did not accept any of her defenses The court observed that both contentions were mutually contradictory

Koena Mitra said that she was framed and that the case was false Her lawyer could not be present during the fi nal argu-ment and she claimed that her side was not heard and the order was passed without her hearing She said that she would be chal-lenging the judgement in the higher court

The case dates back to 2013 The complainant stated that over a period of time Koena Mitra had borrowed Rs 22 lakh from her During the repayment of this loan her check of Rs 3 lakh bounced Poonam Sethi then sent a legal notice to Mitra on July 19 2013 but the actress failed to repay again

Mission Mangal is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language science fiction drama film directed by Jagan Shakti and jointly produced by Akshay Kumar R Balki Aruna Bhatia and Anil Naidu The fi lm stars an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar Vidya Balan Taapsee Pannu Nithya Menen Kirti Kulhari Sharman Joshi H G Dattatreya and Sonakshi Sinha and is loosely based on the story of

scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation who contributed to the Mars Orbiter Mission which marked Indiarsquos fi rst interplanetary expedition

Akshay Kumar is trending on social media perhaps not for reasons he would appreciate The actor has found himself in the limelight improbably after the launch on Monday of Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2

Last week saw the release of the trailer of Mission Mangal the ac-torrsquos upcoming fi lm about Indiarsquos 2013 mission to Mars

Uncharacteristically the In-dian Space Research Organisation that undertook the moon mis-sion tweeted its support for the Bollywood fi lm

This sparked snide remarks on social media about how Kumar seemed to find a way to make fi lms about signifi cant events and vicariously grab the glory

In addition to Mission Mangal about Indiarsquos 2013 Mars mission Kumar has appeared Gold which focuses on Indiarsquos fi rst post-Inde-pendence hockey gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and Airlift which dealt with the 1990 evacuation of Indians from Kuwait following its invasion by Saddam Hussein

Now following the successful launch of Indiarsquos second lunar mis-sion memes on Kumar preparing for a future fi lm about Chandray-aan-2 are all over social media

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

ENTERTAINMENT

Overpopulation is one of the biggest ills plaguing the coun-try The number of people in this country vis-agrave-vis the education institutes available are fairly dis-proportionate As a result lakhs of students every year have to struggle and study hard in order to get a few thousand seats in elite educational institutes The problem gets compounded when students belong to low-income groups and hence their access to fine tutoring at affordable prices is even lesser Anand Kumar from Bihar came as a godsend for many such aspirants He gave free coaching to students and guaranteed them a seat in IIT This feat made him a household name and now Hrithik Roshan is all set to reprise his role in SU-PER 30 The film has faced lots of obstacles and also few delays So does Super 30 manage to do justice to the journey of the man and yet manage to entertain Or does it fail to entice Letrsquos analyse

Super 30 is the story of a self-

less man fighting for the cause of education-for-all The year is 1996 Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) has completed his grad-uation and is passionate about mathematics Hersquos so good in the subject that he is felici-tated at the hands of the educa-tion minister (Pankaj Tripathi) Anand manages to solve a com-plex mathematical problem which has baffled scholars all around the world His feat lands him a seat in the prestigious Cambridge University His fa-ther Eshwar Kumar (Virendra Saxena) is a postman who takes out his PF to fund Anandrsquos for-eign education When the money falls short he and Anand knock at the doors of the education minister who had promised him help But the minister refuses to help Meanwhile Eshwar passes away one day suddenly He was the only earning member of the family and hence Anand sheds his ambition and begins selling papad to survive One day he bumps into Lallan Singh (Aditya Srivastava) who runs Excellence Coaching Centre an institute for those giving the IIT-JEE exams He is aware of Anandrsquos bril-liance in mathematics since he was in the college when Anand was felicitated He gets Anand enrolled in his coaching insti-tute as a premium teacher Since Anandrsquos teaching methods guar-antee success he becomes quite sought after Excellence Coach-ing Centre management even promote themselves by using Anandrsquos picture on their banners Anandrsquos financial condition also improves as hersquos even made one of the signatories However he soon realizes that some brilliant students arenrsquot getting a fair chance to excel in life because of their underprivileged back-ground Overnight Anand quits Excellence Coaching Centre He starts his own centre where he decides to teach 30 students for IIT entrance exams for free Not just that he even arranges for their accommodation and food

Lallan obviously is livid and he tries his best to persuade Anand When nothing works he tries to demotivate Anand saying that all his students who fail will go back to their impoverished lives Itrsquos important that each and ev-ery student of Anand manages to crack the IIT exam What hap-pens next forms the rest of the film

Super 30 belongs to Hrithik Roshan no two doubts on that Hersquos the soul of the film and the reason why one looks forward to the proceedings despite issues in the second half Hersquos completely convincing as a Bihari and his ac-cent clothes make-up body lan-guage etc are spot on He proves yet again why hersquos one of the most accomplished superstars at present Mrunal Thakur (Rash-mi) suits the part and delivers a decent performance Itrsquos a very small role but has a relevance to the story Aditya Srivastava is quite good in the villainous role Pankaj Tripathi is gimmicky In some scenes it works but in few places it doesnrsquot come across as intended Virendra Saxena is adorable and his character is

sure to win hearts Nandish Singh (Pranav Kumar) is fine as Anandrsquos brother Amit Sadh (Raghunath) is too good and has a badass look which suits him Sadly hersquos hardly there and this is one character you wish had more screen time Vijay Varma is entertaining in the intro scene but later on his characterrsquos sig-nificance will be questioned by the viewers Rajesh Sharma is wasted and one wonders why his character is even there in the film Manav Gohil is natural Karishma Sharma is sizzling in the item song As for the stu-dents all have done a superb job but the ones who leave an impact are Ghanshyam Kumar (little Fugga) Deepali Gautam (Ku-sum) and Rahul Raj (Kishore)

On the whole Super 30 has a fine first half but goes downhill in the second hour Yet the im-pact is made due to the high emo-tional quotient and also thanks to Hrithik Roshanrsquos superlative performance At the box office it will require a good word of mouth to rein in the footfalls

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

SRIHARIKOTA India - India launched a rocket into space on Monday in an attempt to safely land a rover on the moon its most ambitious mission yet in the effort to establish itself as a low-cost space power

If successful the $146 million mission will allow Indian scien-tists to carry out studies on the presence of water at the moonrsquos south pole unexplored by any other nation before

ldquoThis mission will offer new knowledge about the Moonrdquo Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted praising the scientists responsible for what he called a fully indigenous mission

China Russia and the United States are the only other nations to have sent missions to the moon

A live broadcast showed im-ages of the rocket carrying the unmanned Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft blasting off from a space centre in southern India as thousands of onlookers cheered the launch which was delayed for a week by a technical snag

The boosters separated safe-ly as the craft began its nearly

50-day journey after which the lander will attempt a controlled landing to deploy a rover at the moonrsquos south pole

The spacecraft has success-fully entered the earthrsquos orbit the Indian Space Research Or-ganisation (ISRO) said

The next month and a half will see the spacecraft perform crucial maneuvers to ensure a smooth landing ISRO Chair-man K Sivan said as the agen-cyrsquos officials congratulated each other with handshakes and bear hugs after the launch

ldquoWe are going to experience 15 minutes of terror to ensure that the landing is done safely near the south polerdquo he told re-porters describing the final mo-ments before the craft is expect-ed to touch down on the moon about 47 days from now

The space agency has previ-ously said the descent on the moon could be complex with potential problems from varia-tions in lunar gravity terrain and dust having to be taken into ac-count

Globally Chandrayaan-2 whose name means ldquomoon ve-hiclerdquo in Sanskrit will be the yearrsquos third bid at a moon land-ing following Chinarsquos success-

Indiarsquos moon mission Chandrayaan-2 lifts off hopes to probe lunar south poleful launch of a lunar probe and the Israeli Beresheet spacecraft which failed and crashed on the moon in April

Indiarsquos space agency sus-pects the south pole region of the moon contains water in the form of ice as well as craters that could reveal fossilised informa-tion about the early solar system

Last week saw the 50th an-niversary of humankindrsquos first steps on the moon in 1969

ldquoNEW FRONTIERSrdquoIndia has had a space pro-

gramme for decades and has for years carried out low-cost satel-lite launches for foreign com-mercial and government players as well as national programmes including missions to the Moon and Mars

Modirsquos nationalist govern-ment has in particular been ac-tive in advancing Indiarsquos space policy and projecting India as a space power Indiarsquos 201920 budget for space research stood at 1247 billion rupees ($181 billion) rising by some 75 since Modi came to power in 2014

In March this year India shot down one of its own satellites to demonstrate its anti-satellite

weapon capabilities with Modi making a public announcement of the event and hailing Indiarsquos arrival as a space power

India has also announced plans for a manned space mis-sion with a targeted flight in De-cember 2021 besides proposing missions to study Venus and the sun although some of these had been proposed before Modi

came to powerOn Monday Modi tweeted an

image of himself following the Chandrayaan-2 event on a tele-vision screen and applauding the liftoff ldquoThe launch of Chan-drayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determi-nation of (13 billion) Indians to scale new frontiers of sciencerdquo he said

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

NEW DELHI - The Indian government wants the countryrsquos antitrust body to assess whether the so-called ldquoBig Fourrdquo auditing fi rms and their affi liates are hurt-ing competition in any manner a senior government offi cial told reporters

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) needs to conduct

a survey or an investigation to assess whether the Big Four that include PwC EY Deloitte and KPMG are abusing their domi-nant position in the Indian audit market said the offi cial who spoke on condition of anonymity

Indiarsquos Ministry of Corporate Aff airs which holds that view is yet to send any formal request to the CCI to probe the matter said the offi cial

ldquoIf you look at the top 500 com-

India government wants antitrust review of Big Four accountants says source

panies in India they are totally dominant and the Big Four seem to be sharing the work what-ever be the reason there seems to be entry barriersrdquo the offi cial told reporters

ldquoThe CCI should look into the dominance of these four global auditors and whether they are thwarting competitionrdquo

The CCI and the four auditors did not immediately respond to a request for comment

The Big Four do auditing work for almost 60 of the top 500 companies that trade on Indiarsquos National Stock Exchange (NSE) according to corporate datatracker NSE Infobase

The deliberations around an antitrust review come at a time when the Big Four are facing in-creased scrutiny in India

Last year all the local units of PwC were barred from audit-ing any listed companies for two years in India after a probe into a decade-old accounting fraud An EY fi rm was also barred last month from conducting certain statutory audit assignments until April 2020

In the latest case Deloitte Haskins amp Sells and a KPMG af-fi liate are fi ghting a legal battle with the Ministry of Corporate Af-

fairs which wants to ban them for fi ve years on allegations they vio-lated several auditing standards at Indian fi nancial fi rm IFIN a unit of troubled lender ILampFS

Both Deloitte and the KPMG affi liate deny any wrongdoing The government has also alleged Deloitte off ered services to IFIN in breach of company law that prohibit auditors from rendering certain other services

The offi cial said India is con-sidering whether to cap the rev-enue an accounting fi rm can earn by off ering non-audit services to a fi rm it is auditing and if there should be prohibition on an au-ditorrsquos parent fi rm off ering tax advisory solutions

ldquoWe are studying the aspect of independence of auditors and var-ious confl ict of interest issuesrdquo said the offi cial

Currently auditors are not al-lowed to earn more non-audit fees from companies they audit than their audit fees An Indian government panel however has proposed limiting the non-audit fees to 50 of the audit fees

A source at one of the Big Four said the non-audit services it pro-vides to its audit clients are sig-nifi cantly below the current and proposed regulatory limits

RBI to cut rates again in August as doves prevail Reuters poll

BENGALURU - The Reserve Bank of India is set to cut inter-est rates in August for the fourth meeting in a row according to a Reuters poll of economists a majority of whom said risks to their already-modest growth forecasts were skewed more to the downside

If the RBI does cut rates next month it will be the most ag-gressive amongst dovish central banks in Asia The last time the RBI delivered so many back-to-back cuts was after the global fi -nancial crisis over a decade ago when most major central banks went on a cutting spree to revive economic growth

Almost 80 of 66 economists in the July 17-24 poll expected the RBI to cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 550 at the Aug 7 meeting Three respondents predicted a 50 basis points cut and the remain-ing 10 forecast policy on hold

ldquoIt is baked in the cake They are going to cut rates in August and again later mainly due to low growth and weak infl ationrdquo said Gareth Leather senior Asia economist at Capital Economics

Indiarsquos infl ation has remained below the central bankrsquos medi-um-term target of 4 for almost a year and is not expected to rise

signifi cantly above that until at least 2021

The pollrsquos fi ndings support RBI Governor Shaktikanta Dasrsquo recent comments about the central bankrsquos accommoda-tive stance and suggests further easing

Indeed following next monthrsquos expected move the next rate cut is seen in early 2020 after which the RBI is forecast to keep rates on hold at 525 through to end-2020

Yet despite three interest rate cuts this year and expectations for more Indiarsquos growth outlook was downgraded in the latest poll compared to the previous quarterly economic survey in April

Asiarsquos third-largest economy expanded at 58 year-on-year in the January-March quarter its slowest pace in fi ve years and losing its title to China as the fastest-growing economy India is now forecast to grow in the range of 63 to 72 each quarter through to end-March 2021

The risks to the more mod-est growth forecasts for this fi s-cal year were skewed more to the downside said a majority of economists who answered an additional question

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

NEW DELHI - The govern-ment is in talks with foreign lend-ers to provide as much as $145 billion in credit to millions of its small fi rms two offi cials said in a sign the countryrsquos banking sys-tem may not be robust enough to do the job on its own

The government is in discus-sions with multiple foreign lend-ers including Germanyrsquos state-owned development bank KfW Group the World Bank and some Canadian institutions to extend lines of credit to small enter-prises one of the offi cials who did not want to be identifi ed told Reuters

KfWrsquos India offi ce confi rmed the discussions though the main focus was on credit lines to sup-port small businessesrsquo solar pow-

er generation The talks were at an early stage KfW said

A spokesman for World Bank in India last Saturday said the discussions with the government were in the early stages adding that ldquofurther rounds of consul-tations will help us defi ne the contours of this collaborationrdquo

The offi cial said the govern-ment plans to source up to 1 tril-lion Indian rupees of loans from foreign institutions because In-dian banks were not in a position to provide enough capital for the small business sector which is seen as critical to job creation

ldquoWe are exploring we are having discussions with various funding agencies if something can be done (for small and me-dium fi rms)rdquo the second offi cial said

The offi cials did not provide full details of the discussions

India seeks to tap foreign lenders for loans to its small firmsthey are having with banks or identify all those they are talk-ing to but said talks are at a very early stage

Indiarsquos micro small and medi-um enterprise (MSME) ministry is discussing the proposal to pull in foreign banks with the coun-tryrsquos ministry of fi nance which will make a fi nal call the second offi cial said

The push for foreign loans comes on the heels of the Indi-an governmentrsquos announcement earlier this month that it plans to borrow about 700 billion rupees by issuing overseas sovereign bonds

Indiarsquos 63 million fi rms in the micro small and medium fi rm sector are responsible for more than a quarter of the countryrsquos manufacturing and services out-put and must be re-energised for Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos government to kick-start the economy

Gross domestic product growth fell to a fi ve-year low of 58 in the January-March quar-ter well below the 8-plus rates that the government is targeting

But credit availability for small and medium fi rms which also account for about 45 of Indiarsquos total exports has wors-

ened due to a liquidity crisis in the countryrsquos shadow banking industry that has seen big lenders struggling to remain solvent

State-owned banks which dominate the sector have not been able to drive increased lending because they are bur-dened with more than $145 billion in bad loans

This has led to a severe credit squeeze for smaller fi rms They pay up to 17 annual interest on loans from banks while the shadow banks which are also

known as non-banking fi nancial companies (NBFCS) can charge as much as 20

Last month a study by a Re-serve Bank of India panel said the overall defi cit in credit for the MSME sector is estimated at about 20 trillion rupees to 25 trillion rupees

But lending to such fi rms can be risky as some lack proper fi nancial information such as historical cash fl ow data which makes it challenging for banks to assess the credit risks

Foreign investors could register as companies to get tax relief

NEW DELHI - Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last Thursday that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) could register as companies to avoid a new tax surcharge imposed on individual tax payers as well as

trusts in the budget for the fi scal year that began on April 1

Sitharaman increased taxes on anyone earning an annual in-comes of more than 20 million rupees ($292269) that will also cover trusts

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

NEW DELHI - An Indian gov-

ernment panel has recommended banning all private cryptocur-rencies and a jail term of up to 10 years and heavy fines for any-one dealing in digital currencies which could signal the end of them in India

The panel drew up a report and draft legislation which will be examined by the government and regulators before they make

a final decision the government said in a statement on Monday

The panel has however asked the government to consider the launch of an official govern-ment-backed digital currency in India to function like bank notes through the Reserve Bank of India

Authorities in various coun-tries are considering how to reg-ulate cryptocurrencies particu-larly after Facebook announced plans to launch one called Libra because of risks to the financial

system and consumer dataThe Indian government has is-

sued repeated warnings against investing in digital currencies saying these were like ldquoPonzi schemesrdquo that offer unusually high returns to early investors

The government panel head-ed by finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg recommended a fine of up to 250 million ru-pees ($363 million) and impris-onment for up to 10 years for anyone who mines generates holds sells transfers or issues cryptocurrency

ldquoThere is no underlying intrin-sic value of these private crypto-currenciesrdquo the panel said in its report submitted to the finance ministry

Private digital currencies were created by non-sovereigns and lacked the attributes of currency it said

Industry officials expressed dismay and the hope the govern-ment would not introduce a ban

ldquoIf the government decides to take such a drastic step then India will stand to lose out sig-nificantly on the technology frontrdquo said Sathvik Vishwanath co-founder Unocoin an Indian virtual currency

Nischal Shetty CEO of Wa-

zirX another Indian cryptocur-rency exchange said they were still hopeful that the panelrsquos re-port would not be accepted in its current form

ldquoBanning cryptocurrencies is a regressive step and no country or government should ban a new technology such as thisrdquo

The panel stated that block chain was good but cryptocur-rencies were bad which was a contradiction and would not

work he saidThe panel was set up in 2017

by the then finance minister Arun Jaitley after reports of ex-tensive money laundering with the use of digital currencies

Tax authorities sent notices to tens of thousands of people dealing in cryptocurrencies af-ter a nationwide survey showed more than $35 billion worth of transactions over a 17-month period

Indian panel recommends cryptocurrency ban

Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittalrsquosbrother held in Bosnia for fraudSARAJEVO Bosnia - A court

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

MUMBAI - Indiarsquos cricket selectors on Sunday named Rishabh Pant as their preferred wicketkeeper for all three for-mats for next monthrsquos tour of West Indies with the future of long-serving glovesman Mahen-dra Singh Dhoni still shrouded in mystery

Dhoni 38 has been the sub-ject of intense speculation on his retirement from international cricket over the past few days since Indiarsquos semi-final exit from the World Cup

The veteran of 350 one-dayers who quit playing tests at the end of 2014 has not provided even a hint of what his plans are and made himself unavailable for the trip to the Caribbean where India will play three T20s three ODIs and two tests

ldquoHersquos expressed his unavail-ability for this seriesrdquo Chief se-lector MSK Prasad told reporters

ldquoWe had certain roadmap and plans till the World Cup Sub-sequently wersquove laid down few more plans and we thought of giving as many opportunities as possible to Rishabh Pant and to see he is groomedrdquo

Widely considered as the best lsquofinisherrsquo in contemporary crick-et Dhoni has recently struggled

to start his innings while his abil-ity to put bowlers to the sword at the end has also been on the wane

Dhonirsquos glovework however still remains top class and ques-tions have been raised by for-mer cricketers pundits and local media if it was the right time for him to step away and help India groom his successor

The next 50-over World Cup is still four years away but the World Twenty20 will be held in

Indian selectors bet on Pant as Dhonirsquos future remains unclear

2020 and Dhoni enjoys unwav-ering support from India cap-tain Virat Kohli who has pub-licly backed him on numerous occasions

ldquoRetirement is purely indi-vidual A legendary cricketer like MS Dhoni they know when to retirerdquo Prasad said ldquoBut what is the future course of action what is the roadmap that we have to take is in the hands of the selection committee

ldquoI donrsquot think we need to

discuss anything on it because first of all hersquos not available Second we have already started grooming some youngstersrdquo

With the two tests in Caribbean kicking off the new World Test Championships India named a full-strength 16-man squad for the series in which experienced wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha was recalled after being out injured for more than a year

His replacement Pant 21 has used his chances well and hit a century in an Oval test last year while also smashing an unbeaten 159 against Australia in Sydney in January

Regular test opener Prithvi Shaw and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were out with injuries with the latter also not named in the squads for white ball cricket

Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his broken thumb that forced him to leave the World Cup midway but all-rounder Vijay Shankar was yet to regain complete fitness following his toe injury

Indiarsquos selectors opted to rest ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the limited-overs match-es while including uncapped speedster Navdeep Saini in the squad

It appeared to be the end of the road for Dinesh Karthik in the In-dia side with Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer included to stake their claims for the middle order batting slots

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise overall and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

Among 375 people who had lost weight and kept it off for at least a year those who typically worked out at the same time ev-ery day averaged about 350 min-utes of exercise per week versus

285 minutes for those with in-consistent exercise schedules

More than two-thirds of study participants worked out at con-sistent times of day mostly in the morning the study authors report in the journal Obesity

ldquoOn average those with high physical activity levels have a consistency with their routine and that includes fi nding an op-timal time to perform their daily routinerdquo said senior study author Dale Bond of The Miriam Hospi-talBrown Alpert Medical School

Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center in Providence Rhode Island

Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- to vigorous-inten-sity physical activity for health and 250 minutes per week for maintaining weight loss over the long term the study team notes Forming a ldquohabitrdquo of exercise is likely the best way to meet the recommendations they write

ldquoA good message for the gen-eral public is that the best time to exercise is when you can do it and if you can do it with consis-tency so much the betterrdquo Bond told Reuters Health in a phone interview

The researchers analyzed data on US adults in the National Weight Control Registry who had dropped 30 pounds or more were long-term weight loss ldquomaintainersrdquo and had answered an annual questionnaire in 2018 Amid a broad range of questions participants were asked about their exercise habits including the types timing and locations of physical activity during the week

Everyone reported doing mod-erate- to vigorous-intensity activ-ity more than two days per week

The study team grouped exercise times into early morning (4 am to 9 am) late morning (9 am to 12 pm) afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm) or evening (5 pm to 4 am)

They found that 68 of par-ticipants reported a consistent workout time and nearly half of these people were early-morning exercisers While the amount of exercise people got on average did not diff er by the time of day when they worked out those who worked out at consistent times averaged a higher total amount of exercise time per week

Those with a consistent work-out time were also more likely to achieve the 250-minute weekly guideline for weight-loss main-tenance

ldquoLooking at physical activity as something thatrsquos regimented like brushing your teeth seems to resonate with peoplerdquo Bond said ldquoThose who do it fi rst thing in the morning get it done before life gets in the wayrdquo

Since this study included a group of highly-motivated peo-ple who already lost weight and maintained it for years addition-al studies should work with those who are habitually inactive but at risk for obesity diabetes and

hypertension said Dr Harriet Wallberg of the Karolinska Insti-tutet in Stockholm Sweden who wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoTiming of the exercise bout (morning versus evening) ap-pears to have an eff ect on blood glucose control in people with diabetes that may diff er from the non-diabetic populationrdquo she noted in an email ldquoMore-over with some forms of exer-cise (high-intensity training) afternoon seems to be more ef-fi cacious in maintaining blood glucose controlrdquo

Since lack of time for exercise is one of the most common bar-riers to physical activity fi nd-ing the right time and cue to exercise daily may be the key noted Amanda Rebar of Central Queensland University in Rock-hampton Australia who also wasnrsquot involved in the study

ldquoWhen habits form they make it easier to consistently engage in exercise each day because rather than it being a new decision ev-ery day itrsquos just doing what you do each day at that timerdquo she said

ldquoFind a time to exercise that works for you and stick with itrdquo Rebar said in an email ldquoOver time it will become easierrdquo

lsquoHabitrsquo of workouts at consistent time of day tied to meeting activity goals

People who always work out at the same time of day get more exercise over-all and are more likely to get the recommended minimum amounts of weekly activity a small US study suggests

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

People with high blood pres-sure or elevated cholesterol be-fore age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis suggests

The analysis pooled data from six studies involving a total of 36030 people Starting when participants were 53 years old on average researchers tracked them to see who had heart attacks strokes or heart failure

By the time half of the people had been tracked for at least 17 years participants who had high levels of ldquobadrdquo LDL cholesterol before age 40 - that is higher than about 129 milligrams per deci-liter of blood - were 64 more

likely to have had events like heart attacks compared to people with low LDL levels in early adulthood

The upper limit of normal blood pressure is 12080 Young-er adults who had high systolic blood pressure - the ldquotop num-berrdquo - were 37 more likely to develop heart failure later in life And young adults who had el-evated diastolic blood pressure - the ldquobottom numberrdquo - were 21 more likely to develop heart fail-ure later on

ldquoMany young adults feel OK or theyrsquore willing to thinkmdashIrsquom OK now I will make healthful choices later when Irsquom olderrdquo said Dr Andrew Moran senior author of the study and a re-searcher at Columbia University

High blood pressure high cholesterol early in life tied to heart problems laterMedical Center in New York City

ldquoThis study shows that healthy choices matter even in young adultsrdquo Moran said by email ldquoThis means not smoking eating a healthful diet and exercising regularlyrdquo

And for some high risk young adults starting medication to manage risk factors at a younger age - something that currently isnrsquot done as a matter of course - may be worthwhile Moran added

Very few people in the study had high blood pressure or high cholesterol during young adult-hood researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology

During follow-up 4570 par-ticipants had events like heart

attacks 5119 had heart failure events and 2862 had strokes

The study canrsquot explain wheth-er or how high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol in early adulthood might directly cause heart attacks strokes or heart failure later in life

One limitation of the analysis is that because the smaller stud-ies used in the analysis didnrsquot have blood pressure and choles-terol measurements across the lifespan in some cases research-ers had to estimate how many younger adults had these risk fac-tors based on the data they had for participants at older ages

ldquoHeart failure and heart attacks are the result of years of exposure to risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterolrdquo said Dr Samuel Gidding coauthor of an editorial accompanying the study and medical director of the FH (Familial Hypercholesterol-emia) Foundation in Pasadena California

ldquoBoth cause the buildup of fat in the coronary arteries begin-ning in childhood this leads to heart attack later in liferdquo Gidding said by email ldquoHigh blood pres-sure puts extra strain on the heart and adapting to that stress leads to heart failurerdquo

People with high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol before age 40 are more likely to have a heart attack later in life than other adults a new analysis sug-gests

Antibiotic use without prescription common in USMany people in the US take

antibiotics that werenrsquot pre-scribed for them according to a new study that highlights one factor that may be contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistant infections

A growing number of germs around the world are already resistant to antibiotics making it increasingly diffi cult to treat

infections that were once easy to combat with medications While much of this problem is caused by doctors prescrib-ing antibiotics to patients who donrsquot need them people who use these drugs without seeing a doctor fi rst are also part of the problem

For the current study re-searchers examined data from

31 previously published studies to assess nonprescription antibi-otic use in the US and the fac-tors that may contribute to it

Up to almost half of people had stored antibiotics for future use or intended to do so saving medicines prescribed for them or perhaps for a child parent or other family member the study also found

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers say

In focus group interviews pet owners over age 70 with chronic pain said their pets brought them joy and laughter helped them relax kept them active and pro-moted other good habits that can also be marshaled to manage pain the study team writes in the Journal of Applied Gerontology

ldquoIn part because of the opioid crisis there is more interest than ever in how people can use cog-nitive and behavioral strategies to manage common chronic pain conditions with less reliance on medicationrdquo said study leader Mary Janevic an associate re-search scientist at the School of Public Health of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

This self-management ldquoto-olboxrdquo includes relaxation techniques physical activity interaction with pets and a prob-lem-solving approach to mini-

Pets may help older adults manage chronic painmize painrsquos interference with life she said

ldquoThis is especially important in older adults who often expe-rience more harmful side-effects from medication than younger people dordquo Janevic told Reuters Health by email

The study team conducted fo-cus groups with 25 dog and cat owners who had experienced per-sistent pain at least half of their days during the prior six months The owners lived full-time with their pet and interacted four or more times per day through

petting talking to playing with walking with sitting with feeding or grooming their pet

The owners described how their pets affect their daily rou-tines and health including pain fatigue and barriers to pet care The research team analyzed the transcripts for themes and cat-egories matching the types of techniques used in pain manage-ment mood management relax-ation distraction physical activ-ity behavioral changes social interaction and sleep

Overall pet owners reported that their animals increased posi-tive feelings had a soothing pres-ence encouraged activity through walking motivated activity even when they were in pain facili-tated socializing and encouraged a regular daily routine and sleep routine They described their pets as sources of comfort patience support and protection Impor-tantly pets ldquokept them goingrdquo and helped them to avoid a downward spiral of inactivity which can lead to mood problems and more pain

ldquoMy partner died two years ago and then his children sued me so it was really a terrible ter-rible timerdquo one participant said ldquoI donrsquot think I would have got-ten out of bed if it wasnrsquot for the dog I would have just laid there and not moved because it was so

horriblerdquoPets also provided love com-

panionship and emotional con-nection as well as a sense of re-sponsibility purpose and being needed by another living creature

ldquoPositive emotions are natural pain-killers and they affect our brain chemistry just like medica-tions dordquo Janevic said

At the same time some own-ers mentioned challenges of pet ownership such as worrying about finding care for their pet when theyrsquore unable monitoring their petrsquos health having enough money for pet care and antici-pating grief over losing a pet A few owners mentioned occasional sleep interruptions due to their pets

Older adults shouldnrsquot buy a new pet to solve their chronic pain problems if they donrsquot already have one Janevic said caution-ing that pets arenrsquot for everyone

ldquoPets have very different tem-peraments and behaviors (unlike therapy animals) and therefore a given pet may or may not be help-ful for a particular health issue including chronic painrdquo she said

The researchers are also inves-tigating other ways that owning or having regular contact with a pet in a community setting may benefit cognitive function such as memory motor speed and loneliness

People with pets may be able to use their companion animals to practice techniques for managing chronic pain without medication researchers sayNight shifts long hours linked to

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less like-ly to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

While previous studies have linked inconsistent sleep sched-ules and getting too much rest to an increased risk of breast cancer researchers havenrsquot looked as of-ten at how much womenrsquos wake-up time might impact this risk researchers note in the BMJ

For the current analysis re-searchers analyzed genetic vari-ants associated with three sleep traits sleep duration insomnia and a so-called morning or eve-ning chronotype referring to early or late risers They looked at data on 180216 women in the UK Bio-bank study and 228951 women in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) study

In the UK Biobank study among every 100 women who were early risers there was one fewer case of breast cancer than among every 100 women who were late risers But there wasnrsquot a clear connection between breast cancer and sleep duration or insomnia

In the BCAC group women who woke up early also had a lower risk of breast cancer In this study sleeping more than the rec-ommended 7 to 8 hours a night was associated an increased risk - 19 for every extra hour

ldquoThe findings of a protective effect of morning preference on

breast cancer risk in our study are consistent with previous research highlighting a role for night shift work in the development of breast cancerrdquo said Rebecca Richmond lead study author and a researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK

ldquoOne particular mechanism which might explain the link known as the `light-at-nightrsquo hy-pothesis involves the suppression of melatonin levels in women ex-posed to artificial night at light which in turn influences various hormonal pathways which might increase risk of breast cancerrdquo Richmond said by email

But women shouldnrsquot rush to reset their alarm clocks to lower their breast cancer risk Richmond said

ldquoOur main findings were based on womenrsquos reported morning or evening preference rather than actually whether they get up ear-lier or later in the dayrdquo Richmond noted

Another drawback is that par-ticipants were all of European ancestry and results might differ for women from other racial and ethnic groups

Most women who get breast cancer develop these tumors af-ter age 50 and they may be more prone to these tumors with a fam-ily history certain genetic muta-tions dense breast tissue early puberty or late menopause ac-cording to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

While women canrsquot control any of those risk factors there are

other risk factors related to life-style that can be altered according to the CDC These include being physically inactive overweight drinking alcohol having a first pregnancy after age 30 not breast-feeding and taking some forms of hormonal birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms

Sleep might also increase the risk along with smoking expo-sure to certain chemicals and hormone changes caused by night

shift work according to the CDCThe current analysis wasnrsquot a

controlled experiment designed to prove that specific sleep habits might directly cause breast cancer

Itrsquos also not clear from the study whether womenrsquos preferred early or late wake-up time (conformed) with their work hours said Dr Eva Schernhammer author of an accompanying editorial and a re-searcher at the Medical University of Vienna and Harvard Medical School in Boston Being an early

riser might make womenrsquos wake up time better match a typical 9 to 5 workday that is common for many jobs

ldquoThe majority of women are neither morning or evening types but somewhere in between on that spectrum hence any potential risks are likely to affect a relative-ly small proportion of womenrdquo Schernhammer said by email ldquoHowever sleep and work tim-ing might be more important than previously thoughtrdquo

Early risers may have lower breast cancer risk

Women who like to wake up early every day may be less likely to develop breast cancer than women who prefer to sleep in a recent study suggests

Many Americans mistakenly use aspirin to prevent heart disease

By Linda Carroll

Many Americans regularly take aspirin without a doctorrsquos recommendation believing it will protect their hearts a new study finds The problem is that for those who donrsquot already have heart disease aspirin comes with some dangerous side effects such as brain bleeds experts say

While doctors used to support daily consumption of low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and stroke three major clinical trials in early 2018 found the risks of the drug outweighed any benefits in people who did not al-ready have heart disease The tri-als led the American Heart Asso-ciation and the American College of Cardiology to change clinical practice guidelines and to warn that any benefit from taking a daily low-dose aspirin would be more than offset by the danger of internal bleeding and other side effects in people considered to be at low or moderate risk for heart disease

Thatrsquos why the findings of the new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine are so wor-risome said coauthor Dr Christi-na Wee a researcher and general internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an associ-ate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School

ldquoWe found that one quarter of adults 40 and older who donrsquot have heart disease are taking as-pirin regularlyrdquo Wee said ldquoAnd more concerning one half of adults over age 70 who donrsquot

have heart disease or stroke are taking aspirin regularly Aspirin will raise the risk of bleeding and ulcer development regardless of age but the older you get the more at risk you are anywayrdquo

While the data used in the study were collected before the new guidelines came out ldquowe suspect things havenrsquot changed muchrdquo Wee said

The data came from the Sam-ple Adult component of the 2017 National Health Interview Sur-vey (NHIS) a nationally repre-sentative in-person household survey of health and disability in US adults

Wee and her colleagues ana-lyzed responses from 14328 sur-vey participants whose average age was 575 years Among those aged 40 and older who did not have heart disease 234 report-ed taking daily aspirin to protect their hearts Extrapolated that would work out to be approxi-mately 29 million Americans Of these 228 (representing 6 6 million) were doing so without their doctorrsquos recommendation

Nearly half (446) of adults aged 70 or older without cardio-vascular disease said they were using aspirin to prevent heart disease And having a history of ulcers didnrsquot seem to prevent these seniors from taking a daily aspirin

Overall Wee and her col-leagues estimate that nearly 30 million US adults aged 40 and older are using aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease including nearly half of seniors who said

they did not have heart disease and one quarter of adults with no heart disease but a history of ulcers

Wee is not recommending that everyone stop taking aspirin Rather she said before making any changes people should dis-cuss the issue with their doctors Thatrsquos because it can be difficult to calculate onersquos exact risk of heart disease Wee said noting that aspirin is still recommended for some

Further Wee said ldquoI want to emphasize that these new guide-lines are referring only to people who donrsquot have heart disease havenrsquot had a stroke and donrsquot have some other compelling rea-son to be on aspirinrdquo

The new findings ldquoare cer-tainly a call to actionrdquo said Dr Prashant Vaishnava a cardiolo-gist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and director of Quality and In-patient Services for Mount Sinai Heart in New York City ldquoIt high-lights that there are more than six million people taking low dose aspirin every day without a physicianrsquos recommendationrdquo

A separate study recently published in JAMA Neurology should give those folks pause Vaishnava said ldquoThat was a meta-analysis of patients without symptoms of heart diseaserdquo she said ldquoIt showed an association between daily aspirin use and in-tracranial hemorrhage Certainly there are harms associated with indiscriminate aspirin use for primary prevention in low risk populationsrdquo

miscarriages and preterm birthsBy Lisa Rapaport

Pregnant women who work nights or long hours may be more likely to have a miscarriage or preterm delivery than mothers with day jobs a research review suggests

With night shifts pregnant women were 21 more likely to have preterm deliveries and 23 more likely to have miscarriages than women who worked days the analysis found

Working more than 40 hours a week was also associated with a 38 higher risk of miscarriages and a 21 higher risk of preterm deliveries than working less Long work hours were also tied to a 43 higher risk of under-weight babies and a 16 higher chance that infants would be small for their gestational age

Compared to women who work fixed day shifts during pregnancy those who work ro-tating shifts were 13 more likely to have a preterm de-livery and 18 more likely to have an undersized baby the analysis also found They were also 19 more likely to develop high blood pressure during preg-nancy and 75 more likely to

develop dangerously high blood pressure known as preeclampsia

ldquoIf circumstances allow avoiding shift work and long working hours (more than 40 hoursweek) may improve preg-nancy outcomesrdquo said Margie Davenport a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada and the studyrsquos senior author

ldquoHowever when this isnrsquot pos-sible itrsquos important to focus on other aspects of your life within your control that can also impact prenatal healthrdquo Davenport said by email ldquoFocus on maintaining a healthy active lifestyle outside of work to include exercise suf-ficient sleep and nutritious food to improve prenatal healthrdquo

Researchers examined data from 62 previously published studies that included a total of 196989 women These smaller studies were not controlled ex-periments designed to prove whether work hours directly impact pregnancy outcomes in-stead they followed women with different work circumstances who were otherwise similar to see whether their hours or sched-ules were associated with differ-ent outcomes

Many of the smaller stud-

ies offered only ldquolow certaintyrdquo evidence of risks associated with long hours night shifts and ro-tating shifts Davenportrsquos team notes in the American Journal of Obstetrics amp Gynecology

Itrsquos possible that long hours or shift work might negatively impact pregnancy outcomes by interrupting the bodyrsquos circa-dian rhythm - the daily cycle that impacts sleeping and eat-ing patterns - hormones and other physiological processes Davenport said

ldquoDuring night shift work the day is flipped and over time this is thought to trigger hormonal adaptations that may influence how the baby grows and the timing of deliveryrdquo Davenport said ldquoAnd working long hours may increase stress hormones that could influence the risk of preterm laborrdquo

Pregnant women should be aware of the potential risks of night shifts rotating shifts and long hours - and do what they can to change their schedules if possible said Audrey Gaskins a researcher at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory Uni-versity in Atlanta who wasnrsquot involved in the study

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want

Aries (March 21 to April 20)A busy week ahead drives you to complete some unfinished tasks You may be under pressure to live up to your reputa-tion The wisest thing in a difficult situation would be to take responsibility for errors if you have made any There is support from family and friends

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)The coming week is a fairly good time for most of you A few of you look forward to a stint abroad and possibly even setting up work connections with an influential individual organisation There is great interest in holistic development so satiate your curiosity towards spirituality

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)The week may start on a difficult note but improves gradually as you go back to depending on your purpose rather than succumbing to negative emotions You may need to forgive a person from the past completely and dissociate in order to move forward

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)A slightly difficult phase is predicted this week There is a lot of focus on interpersonal relationships There may be moments where you feel completely exhausted and unwilling to contribute positively anymore

Leo (July 23 to August 22)This week leads you to an introspective mode where you may reminisce all the good times and support that you have enjoyed from the family There could be some financial worries and you may need to rework the budget

Virgo (August 23 to September 23)The choices made by loved ones is likely to be a primary concern during this phase While you have their best interests at heart it may be difficult to convey the same without being misunderstood

Libra (September 24 to October 23)You may focus more on home and property related matters Some of you may also look at buying a new dwelling There are budget constraints and it will be better to take a decision while staying within onersquos means

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)Work is likely to take you places this week While there is a sense of excitement you may have to tide over some red tape delays and also overcome a phase of irritability The bond with a sibling may be re-energised and any previous misunderstandings will get resolved during this phase

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)You are likely to make a breakthrough where work is con-cerned It may not be something you had dreamt of but it is a forward step nonetheless It would be foolhardy to kick away an opportunity simply because it does not resemble your ideal

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)The coming week is a time of reinvention and taking concrete steps towards making your position in life stronger Those run-ning a business venture may bring in a handsome profit but one cannot discount the fact that it will require a lot of hard work Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)You will excel at work but may get entangled in doubts that can leave you feeling disturbed You cannot afford to be in a state of disarray as there are too many things riding on you Financial deals and taxation matters need attention

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)This week offers mixed results Deep thinking and over analysis about the larger purpose and other existential questions may create difficulties An outing or a meeting with friends after a long time has you feeling better towards the end of the week

The ancient tradition of medi-tation is still valuable for people of our modern times People to-day still face a great deal of tur-moil in their private lives When people face difficulties many of them feel so hopeless they turn to alcohol and drugs to drown their pain creating even more prob-lems for themselves their fami-lies and society People who face illnesses or their own mortality undergo spiritual pain in wonder-ing what awaits them beyond this world Families who lose a loved one also are in pain in wonder-

ing where that loved one is gone People face financial problems all over the world

There is no end to the problems in life Although meditation does

not take away our outer problems it lifts us to a place in which we do not experience their pinching ef-fects During the time we meditate we enter realms of love bliss and joy so that we do not feel the stress of our outer life Then when we come out of meditation we carry that joy with us throughout the day It helps us see life from a new angle of vision in which we know the outer struggles of life are only temporary and that there is a place of eternal peace and hap-piness within that we can tap into anytime we want
