November 15 2017 REUTERS/Aaron P BernsteinRepublicans in the House of Representatives were expected to take up their bill to cut federal tax rates on corporations small businesses and individuals after an 11:30 am (1630 GMT) meeting with President Donald Trump who wants to sign a tax package into law before year end US House Speaker Paul Ryan told Fox News early on Thursday he was confident his chamber had the votes to pass their version of the plan A vote was expected early on Thursday afternoon “Big vote tomorrow in the House Tax cuts are getting close” the Republican president tweeted on Wednesday night But Trump’s tax reform hopes have begun to encounter resistance in the Senate where the Republicans’ narrow majority means they have to keep almost everyone in the party on board The Senate version of the tax bill has faced criticism from some Republican lawmakers including Senator Susan Collins who helped sink a Republican effort to repeal Obamacare earlier this year Senate Republicans have made the risky decision to tie their tax plan to a repeal of the mandate for people to get healthcare insurance under former Democratic President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act exposing the tax initiative to the same political forces that wrecked their anti-Obamacare push Republican US Senator Ron Johnson said Trump called him Wednesday night after Johnson announced his opposition to the current Senate plan over what he said were unequal rates for small businesses and non-corporate enterprises known as “pass-throughs” versus corporations Still Johnson said he was hopeful a final bill could be passed by year’s end “I‘m trying to fix it and I want to vote yes” Johnson told CNBC adding that Trump told him he would meet with Treasury officials on the issue The president’s public schedule did not list any Department of Treasury meetings for Thursday Republicans have long promised tax cuts and they see enacting the legislation as critical to their prospects of retaining power in Washington in the November 2018 congressional elections Despite controlling the White House and Congress Republicans so far have no major legislative victories from 2017 to show voters “The American people have waitedyearsfor a fair simple and competitive tax code Right now in this moment we stand on the doorstep of delivering” Kevin Brady chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee said during the House tax reform debate ‘TAX SCAM’ Democrats have condemned both the House and Senate tax plans as giveaways to the wealthy and US corporations pointing to analyses showing that millions of Americans could end up with a tax hike because of the elimination of popular deductions Repeal of or cuts to some deductions is a way to offset the revenue lost from tax cuts “This is not a tax plan This is a tax scam” said Representative Maxine Waters a California Democrat Nonpartisan congressional analysts have also said the provision to repeal the health insurance mandate in the Senate version would drive up premium costs and cause some 13 million Americans to lose coverage It also sets individual tax rate cuts to expire while reductions for corporations are permanent The Senate and House tax plans must eventually be reconciled and merged into a final plan that can pass both chambers before it goes to Trump to sign into law “We’ll find a middle ground and we’ll get it to the president’s desk . This is a big deal for us” Republican Representative Tom Cole told MSNBC The main challenge facing Republicans remains the 100-seat Senate where they can lose no more than two votes from their 52-48

at any given hour Nirupam who was elected in 2009 stands again from the Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency dominated by Gujaratis North Indians between Malad and Dahisar How are you reaching out to your constituency To begin with I have a helpline It is exclusively to hear issues from senior citizen students and women We are taking the complaints in five languages so that we reach out to maximum persons What is your vision I want to restore the trust of people in politics and politicians I believe the first step is to ensure maximum availability to public in the constituency In the past five years I have met people without appointments and at any given time Accessibility is the key I have never said no to any request for help Unlike BJP candidate who does not even entertain requests for admission I give sanction letters to anybody I have even given the authority to my assistant to give letters on my behalf I have made 1274 toilets and 280 borewells in buildings According to me a garden is not a basic amenity In the Rs 5 crore fund instead I have spent more than Rs 4 crore on water drains and toilets Your opponents say that you have been charged with promoting illegal slums Your comments I cannot be blamed for slums I have nothing to do with slum lords either The BMC is the nodal agency which has to react when they see slums mushrooming No survey of land is done by them and they start the process only after the poor begin to live in them Why doesn’t the BMC pull down the structures while they are being constructed What is your agenda this term and what issues have you identified The common issues remain — transportation education infrastructure and healthcare At this stage there is no state funded hospital in this constituency I have asked the central government for funds for a state-run hospital with 300 beds at Charkop The state government has given the necessary sanction for a medical college however we need at least 20 acres to build it Currently the proposal stands converted to 10 acre and we have eight acre land available Healthcare remains a priority everyday 10 persons are given free treatment from my office through my network with hospitals On transportation one may recall that Ram Naik had in 1999 inaugurated the beautification work at Borivali railway station till I started the work in 2009 not a single brick had been touched We also have a railway sabha to understand the needs of the commuter We have repeatedly requested the state government to implement the modern station scheme for railway stations of Malad Kandivili and Dahisar and make funds available There is a demand for a special train for Konkan but the work is stuck due to track repairs at Diva Finally there is a new track being laid from Naigaon to Diva of 7 km What about other infrastructure I had sent a proposal to start the Metro line from Dahisar to Mankhurd instead of Charkop The government has given sanction We also worked a lot in cancelling the Metro yard at Charkop due to which many people stood to lose their houses MMRDA has now made a detailed project report starting the metro from Dahisar and is looking at the yard issue We had also sent a project for approval about a flyover at the Meat chowkie signal in Malad west Link Road The moment metro line is finalised the government will approve this project [email protected]

the south-coast club in their bid to steer clear of relegation from the Premier League their ex-manager Harry Redknapp has said Bournemouth have won one of their last eight league games a run which has seen them slide from eighth to 14th in the table just six points above the drop zone after 24 games “(Manager) Eddie (Howe) runs a tight ship They will stick together that’s what’s made them what

to keep Virat Kohli in check and refrain from getting into verbal confrontations with the India captain during the four-Test series starting this month former batsman Mike Hussey has said Under leading batsman Kohli India are unbeaten in their last 18 Tests registering series wins in Sri Lanka and West Indies while thumping South Africa New Zealand and England at home The captain’s form has been key to India’s rise to number one in the Test rankings with the 28-year-old scoring three double hundreds and averaging almost 76 in Tests in 2016 Kohli who is often very demonstrative on the field has said in the past that he does not mind on-field skirmishes and Hussey believes it is that fire in his belly that inspires the Indian skipper to perform better “I wouldn’t try and fire him up” Hussey told the Cricket Australia website (cricketcomau) ahead of Australia’s tour which starts in Pune on February 23 “I think he thrives on that and he’s a real competitor “He loves being in the fight and loves the contest out in the middle There’s no need to get involved in that sort of verbal barrage because I think that fires him up even more” Kohli has polarised opinion over his regular run-ins with the opposition and fans and was fined half of his match fee in 2012 for responding to barracking from the crowd by gesturing at them with his middle finger during a Sydney Test Hussey one of the former Australia batsmen who has tasted considerable success on the spinning tracks in South Asia does not feel there is much need for verbal duels EXECUTING PLANS “I’d make sure we have some very clear plans and we try and stick to them as best as we possibly can” the 41-year-old Hussey added “You don’t want to get carried away with too much talk and lose your concentration of what’s important which is executing your skills “The team that wins will be the one that can execute their skills at the highest quality and for the longest period of time It’s not going to be the team that’s the most verbal or the most aggressive” Australia were beaten 4-0 the last time they toured India in 2012 and were also whitewashed 3-0 in Sri Lanka last year Hussey thinks the touring side will need to keep Kohli quiet with the bat if they are to enjoy any success “From an Australian point of view Kohli is public enemy number one and we have to get him out cheaply” Hussey said “If he

lift heavy loads at work may be at risk of harming their fertility with the effect appearing stronger among overweight and older women according to a new study The findings showed that women who reported moving or lifting heavy loads at work had 88 per cent fewer total eggs and 141 per cent fewer mature eggs compared with women who reported never lifting or moving heavy objects at work Further working at night or on rotating shifts may also lead to decreased fertility “Our study suggests that women who are planning pregnancy should be cognizant of the potential negative impacts that non-day shift and heavy lifting could have on their reproductive health” said lead author Lidia Minguez-Alarcon research fellow at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health The inverse association between heavy lifting and mature egg yield was stronger among women who were overweight or obese and those aged 37 or older Previous studies have suggested a link between work schedule physical factors on the job and the biologic capacity for reproduction “Our study is the first which shows that occupational heavy lifting and non-day shifts may be adversely affecting egg production and quality rather than accelerating ovarian ageing” added Audrey Gaskins research associate at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health For the new study published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine the team analysed nearly 500 women seeking infertility treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the US from 2004-2015 However the mechanism by which moving or

nearly tripling the country’s total renewable energy capacity to 175 gigawatt (GW) by 2022 spurring global firms including Japan’s SoftBank and Goldman Sachs to invest in solar projects in the country Most of the solar modules come from China but several consignments are now held up because customs officials have demanded that some of them be classified as “electric motors and generators” attracting a 75 percent duty not as “diodes transistors and similar semiconductor devices” with no duty Two customs officials in the southern port of Chennai confirmed the issue regarding the classification C Narasimhan president of the Indian Solar Association said that up to 2000 solar module containers are now stranded at four major ports “Port disruptions like this will hamper the country’s progress towards achieving the target of 100 GW in installed solar capacity by 2022” said Narasimhan a former lawmaker The Indian unit of Germany’s Enerparc had 30 of its containers stuck at
