BREAKING: China's National Health Commission reports that the number of people infected with a new virus has risen to 1,287 with 41 deaths across 29 provinces. Some 237 patients remain in serious condition. https://t.co/5T1VVeR5Lb
China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!
Today Muqtada al-Sadr organized his "Million Man March," calling on the US to leave Iraq. The march was undoubtedly supported by the pro-Iran militias (if not by Iran itself) but the slogans were entirely about sovereignty, and the flags were all Iraqi. https://t.co/fJh7djZe8l
Emmanuel Macron follows the United States National Security Council's Twitter account. At least, that is one of the takeaways from the Pau Sahel Summit, where he read a tweet posted moments earlier as a possible sign of continued American support to counterterrorist efforts in the Sahel.
On Jan. 13, leaders from the G5 Sahel (i.e., Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Mauritania) as well as France, the European Union, and the United Nations, gathered in southwestern France to tackle the worsening crisis in the Sahel. Reports that Washington was considering a major reduction of U.S. troops in Africa, as well as potential cuts to the United Nations mission in Mali, was in the back of everyone's mind.
After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military! pic.twitter.com/TC8pT4yHFT
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump revealed the official logo for the new U.S. Space Force, a branch of the military that the administration created last year. But to many, the logo seemed more than a little familiar.
The logo bears a striking resemblance to the insignia that represents the fictional Starfleet Command in the "Star Trek" franchise.
Pointing to threats from China and Russia and the nation's reliance on satellites for defense operations, Trump has long pressed for the branch. He finally saw it through in December as part of a defense bill.
"America's armed forces are more powerful than ever," Trump said at the time, "and growing even stronger."
A new poll shows Americans are more likely than not to support President Donald Trump's decision to order a drone strike that killed an Iranian general, even amid widespread skepticism about his foreign policy overall
WASHINGTON -- A new poll shows Americans are more likely than not to support President Donald Trump's decision to order a drone strike that killed an Iranian general, even amid widespread skepticism about his foreign policy overall.
The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research was taken about two weeks after the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq. It found that 41% of Americans approved of the action while 30% disapproved of it. The rest didn't express an opinion either way.
Soleimani was killed shortly after arriving at the Baghdad airport. Iran responded five days later by firing a barrage of missiles at bases in Iraq where U.S. troops are stationed, causing injuries but no deaths. The exchange sparked fears of a new Middle East war, but both sides then stood down.
The Senate spectator gallery was at least half-empty throughout the first week of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial and senators serving as the jury in the marathon sessions are taking notice — some stunned that there aren't more people watching history unfold, while others understand the public avoiding the repetitive proceedings.
"I'm really surprised at that because this is kind of historic and I would think this would be an opportunity for people to get in there regardless of whose side you are on," Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) told The Post Friday.
Journalists aren't allowed to bring cellphones or cameras into the gallery, so the noticeably small audience is known directly only to people able to access the chamber.

It is too early to make a definitive judgement about how Beijing has handled the outbreak of the potentially deadly coronavirus in Wuhan, a city of 11 million in central China.
But it is already clear that any assessment will have to take into account not just the medical side of the virus's spread.
Just as important in a public health crisis is how the authorities manage the disclosure of the information about the virus within the government, and to the public.
So far, the handling of the crisis seems to have underlined one of the ongoing problems with the authoritarian strictures of the party-state, which places a premium on the control of information in the name of maintaining stability.
BEIJING (Reuters) - A new coronavirus that has killed 26 people in China was confirmed in Europe for the first time on Friday as it spreads despite Chinese attempts to quarantine the city at the heart of the outbreak.
China closed Shanghai Disneyland and part of the Great Wall and suspended public transportation in 10 cities as it rushed to contain the virus, stranding millions of people at the start of the country's Lunar New Year holiday.
France reported two cases on Friday evening, the first ones discovered in Europe. More were likely, Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - As U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to host Israeli leaders in Washington to reveal details of his long-delayed Middle East peace plan, Palestinians warned on Friday that no deal could work without them on board.
Trump invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief rival centrist former general Benny Gantz to the White House next week, saying he would unveil the plan before his Tuesday meeting with Netanyahu.
But Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said there had been no communication with the Trump administration, and that no peace deal could be implemented without "the approval of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian leadership".

A bipartisan pair of senators is pressing the Pentagon for "clarity" on the U.S. military mission in Syria.
In a letter to the top officials at the Pentagon, Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Mitt Romney (R-Utah) cited both the recent spike in U.S.-Iran tensions and last year's firestorm over President Trump's order to withdraw from Syria when seeking answers to a dozen questions on the U.S. strategy in Syria.
"We would appreciate further clarity about the mission of U.S. troops currently deployed to Syria," the senators wrote to Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley in a letter obtained by The Hill ahead of its release. "Until now, the administration has not articulated a coherent and consistent strategy to Congress."
WNU Editor: When President Trump declared that he wanted US troops out of Syria, the uproar from Congress, the media, and foreign policy experts was overwhelming negative. And now the same people are demanding clarity on what is the policy and strategy to keep US soldiers there?!?!? You can't have it both ways. If you want US soldiers to remain there, lets have a public debate on why US troops should say there, and after that decide on how to make it happen. Shifting all of this decision making process to the Pentagon is (to me) just an attempt to shift all of the responsibility to the Pentagon in the event of things going wrong. If this is not CYA, I do nto know what is. President Trump was right when he said it was time for US forces to leave Syria, and I predict that regardless on what the Congress, the media, and the foreign policy establishment are saying, in the end there will be a withdrawal of US forces from that country.
Thirty-four US soldiers have been diagnosed with concussion or traumatic brain injury from an 8 January Iranian missile attack on their base in Iraq, the Pentagon has revealed.
The Pentagon spokesman, Jonathan Hoffman, said on Friday that eight service members who had been previously transported to Germany had been moved to the United States.
Donald Trump had previously said that the US "suffered no casualties" from the attack, which was a reprisal for the US drone strike assassination of the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani.
Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through Baghdad on Friday calling for US troops to leave Iraq, heeding the call of powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr who called for a "Million Man March."
Families and children held aloft signs that read "no, no to America" and "no, no to occupation" amid a sea of Iraqi flags. A heavy security presence surrounded the path of the march, as well as the Green Zone which houses the US embassy. The Green Zone has been the site of multiple rocket attacks that have increased in frequency since a US attack in Baghdad killed Iran's most powerful military general, Qasem Soleimani, and the Iran-backed Iraqi commander, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
* A second US case of coronavirus has been confirmed in a 60-year-old woman in Chicago, Illinois * She traveled to Wuhan, China - where the virus originated - in late December and arrived in the US on January 13 * The woman allegedly didn't experience symptoms until several days later, and she is currently in isolation * Health officials are testing 63 people across 22 states for the deadly virus * Among them are four New Yorkers, one whose test came back negative and another three that are still pending * Doctors revealed 43 people came into contact with the first US case, which was confirmed in Washington state * The man, in his 30s, is currently being treated by a robot in a quarantined room at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett * So far, 924 people have fallen ill across the globe and 26 people have died * The US State Department issued a Level 4 Do Not Travel warning, its strongest travel alert only issued for places such as North Korea and Iran
The second US case of deadly coronavirus has been confirmed in Chicago, Illinois as dozens get tested across the country, including New York, health officials say
On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the patient is a 60-year-old woman who traveled to Wuhan, China, where the virus originated, in late December.
She arrived at O'Hare International Airport on January 13 - meaning it has been 11 days since she returned to the US - but did not begin experiencing symptoms until several days later.
Health officials say the woman appears to be well and in stable condition. She is in isolation, but it is unclear which hospital she is at.
* Workforce has been ordered to work day and night in the epicentre of the outbreak of the deadly virus * The six-acre temporary hospital is situated in the suburbs of the city and expected to open on February 3 * Armies of workers and 200 vehicles were already working in full gear this morning, state media reported * Hundreds of workers have been told to abandon Chinese New Year celebrations for the emergency mission * The Wuhan coronavirus has infected around 920 people and killed 26 around the world so far this month
Hundreds of heavy vehicles and armies of construction workers have been ordered to work day and night by the Chinese government to build a six-acre, 1,000-bed coronavirus hospital from scratch in seven days, according to state media.
The emergency facility, named the Huoshenshan or Fire God Mountain Hospital, is situated in the suburbs of Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak which has killed at least 26, infected around 920 and spread to nine other countries and regions.
The authorities have instructed four construction companies to toil through the Chinese New Year holiday for building the medical centre, which is expected to receive its first patients on February 3, it is reported.
Nepal today became the 11th country to declare a confirmed case, as the US and Japan confirmed their second cases, Thailand its fifth, and the global toll rose above 900

* Attractions around China have scrapped Lunar New Year celebrations * The Great Wall in Beijing and Disneyland in Shanghai have been closed * 15 per cent of dinner reservations in the capital are reportedly cancelled * Films set to be launched for the traditional holiday have been postponed * Outbreak of a new deadly virus has killed 26 people and infected 830 in China
China has gone into lockdown today on the eve of the Lunar New Year as authorities and businesses scramble to shut tourist attractions and public transport systems in a bid to stop the spread of the deadly new coronavirus that has killed at least 26 people.
Part of the Great Wall of China in Beijing and Disneyland in Shanghai have been closed as authorities desperately try to stop people spreading the Wuhan coronavirus amid fears as many as 10,000 are already infected with the killer virus.
Fourteen cities, home to around 40million people, are reported to have gone into some form of lockdown in the past two days, with public transport halted and roads closed during the traditional holiday period.
Public transport suspended in at least 10 cities as death toll rises and heath care centres struggle to cope with influx of patients
At least 36 million people in China have been affected by unprecedented lockdowns imposed across 13 cities during the country's most important holiday, as officials attempt to contain the deadly new coronavirus.
Restrictions on movement were widened on Friday in an effort to stop the spread of the disease, which has killed 26 people, affected almost 900, and been reported across South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the United States, Thailand and Vietnam.

Esper said he did not want to put a firm timeline on the completion of his so-called "defense-wide review," which is expected to trigger those troop movements.
"If I had to put an end-date (on the review), I want to make sure we are in some type of better posture by the beginning of the next fiscal year," Esper told reporters, referring to the government's calendar year for spending, which begins on Oct. 1. "So I want to move fairly quickly."
Esper made the remarks during a trip to Miami as he began a review of military missions in Latin America, part of a sweeping global examination of deployments that he hopes will allow him to redirect more forces to Asia and send others back to the United States from overseas.
* A coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, has killed 18 people and infected more than 630. * The virus has been reported in at least eight other countries, including the US, where a man in Washington who recently visited China was confirmed to have the illness. * A scientist at Johns Hopkins last year modeled what would happen if a deadly coronavirus reached a pandemic scale. His simulated scenario predicted that 65 million people could die within 18 months.
Eric Toner, a scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, wasn't shocked when news of a mysterious coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, surfaced in early January.
Less than three months earlier, Toner had staged a simulation of a global pandemic involving a coronavirus.
Coronaviruses typically affect the respiratory tract and can lead to illnesses like pneumonia or the common cold. A coronavirus was also responsible for the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in China, which affected about 8,000 people and killed 774 in the early 2000s.

Key Point: There are a medley of reasons the Israeli Air Force has dominated the region.
Since the 1960s, the air arm of the Israel Defense Forces (colloquially the IAF) has played a central role in the country's defense. The ability of the Israeli Air Force to secure the battlefield and the civilian population from enemy air attack has enabled the IDF to fight at a huge advantage. At the same time, the IAF has demonstrated strategic reach, attacking critical targets at considerable distance.
The dominance of the IAF has come about through effective training, the weakness of its foes, and a flexible approach to design and procurement. Over the years, the Israelis have tried various strategies for filling their air force with fighters, including buying from France, buying from the United States and building the planes themselves. They seem to have settled on a combination of the last two, with great effect.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force's A-4Ks performed multiple variations of the unique and challenging maneuver at air shows for years.
Flight demonstration teams are a fixture of modern military aviation, performing routines at airshows and other events to help with recruitment and otherwise just promote engagement between the service that operates the aircraft and the public. These units typically draw on the skills of expert pilots to perform often iconic routines with unique or otherwise impressive aerobatic maneuvers. A prime example of this is the "plugged-in" barrel roll that Royal New Zealand Air Force's now-retired A-4K Skyhawks used to perform.
A look at the "Gator" class SEAL delivery vehicle in unprecedented detail.
* US Navy SEALs are trained to infiltrate enemy territory by sea, air, and land. * The Mark 8 SEAL Delivery Vehicle allows the Navy's elite underwater commandos to travel undetected through enemy waters. * Up to eight SEALs and their mission equipment can ride on the little submersible.
U.S. Navy SEALs are trained to attack enemy coastlines and ships, wreaking havoc on targets both on land and afloat. SEALs typically disembark from nuclear attack submarines miles from their target, taking what's called a Seal Delivery Vehicle to their destination. The SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Mk.8 Mod 0 is that ride, a small, low profile mini-sub that can transport a handful of SEALs to their destination.
The SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Mk.8 Mod 0, also known as the Mark 8 or "Gator Class," was named after James "Gator" Parks, a retired SEAL and engineer who was a driving force in SDV development. SDVs allow SEALs (an acronym that stands for Sea, Air, Land) a sea-based option for infiltrating enemy territory. While simply crossing the border or parachuting in is not an option, SDVs allow SEALs to travel quietly through the green opaque waters of the sea, slipping right under the enemy's nose.
Rebel forces in Libya have threatened to hit civilian planes flying over the capital Tripoli, declaring the city and its surrounding areas a "no-fly zone".
Mitiga, the city's only functioning airport, was closed on Wednesday after rockets were fired towards it.
But the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) said it had now been re-opened.
Mitiga has been hit several times since Gen Khalifa Haftar began an offensive to seize Tripoli from the GNA.
In a statement posted on Facebook on Thursday, the GNA said resuming flights at Mitiga was of the "utmost importance".
WNU Editor: The airport is being used to bring in military forces and equipment, especially by Turkey. But even with these threats, the airport is been reopened .... Libya's Mitiga airport, threatened by Haftar, reopened (Daily Sabah).
"Plan A" is an audio-visual simulation that shows how so-called "tactical" nuclear weapons could lead to a highly fatal global conflict between the Russia, the US, and allies. Princeton University/Nuclear Futures Lab
* A new simulation called "Plan A," by researchers at Princeton's Program on Science and Global Security, shows how the use of one so-called tactical or low-yield nuclear weapon could lead to a terrifying worldwide conflict. * In the roughly four-minute video, a Russian "nuclear warning shot" at a US-NATO coalition leads to a global nuclear war that leads to 91.5 million deaths and injuries. * Under President Trump, the US is ramping up production of tactical nuclear weapons, ostensibly to target troops and munitions supplies. While advocates say these weapons would keep wars from escalating, the simulation finds the opposite outcome. * The dissolution of the INF treaty in August raised the stakes for nuclear war, as both the US and Russia were free to develop weapons previously banned under the treaty. * On Jan. 23, 2020, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved its Doomsday clock to 100 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been, in a dire warning about the rising dangers of a nuclear catastrophe as Cold War-era treaties end.
More than 91 million people in Russia, the US, and NATO-allied countries might be killed or injured within three hours following a single "nuclear warning shot," according to a terrifying new simulation.
The simulation is called "Plan A," and it's an audio-visual piece that was first posted to to YouTube on September 6. (You can watch the full video at the end of this story.) Researchers at the Science and Global Security lab at Princeton University created the animation, which shows how a battle between Russia and NATO allies that uses so-called low-yield or "tactical" nuclear weapons — which can pack a blast equivalent to those the US used to destroy Hiroshima or Nagasaki in World War II — might feasibly and quickly snowball into a global nuclear war.

Kolkata: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das has set broader financial stability as the central bank's immediate policy-making priority amid concerns over the failure of some non-bank lenders and weaknesses of banks, expanding the remit of balancing growth and inflation."The regulation and supervision of banks and nonbank financial intermediaries has rested with the Reserve Bank and has kept pace with the prescribed global norms over time. More recently, the focus of financial stability has not only confined to regulation and supervision but also extending the reach of formal financial system to the un-banked and unserved population," Das said in a speech.He said the focus on price stability as the sole objective of monetary policy has been questioned after the global financial crisis, underscoring the need for adopting a flexible inflation target to achieve macro-financial stability."In this milieu, financial stability has emerged as another key consideration for monetary policy, though jury is still out as to whether it should be added as an explicit objective," he said at St Stephen's College in Delhi on Friday.RBI has recently reorganised its regulatory and supervisory structure by integrating the supervision function into a unified Department of Supervision and regulatory functions into a unified Department of Regulation amid growing inter-linkages in the financial system, and criticism that gaps in its inspection failed to detect faultlines.The relative emphasis on inflation, growth and financial stability has varied across monetary policy regimes in response to challenges of that time.Governor Das also told students that the assessment of the current economic situation is one of the major challenges for the central banks."A view has to be taken on the true nature of the slack in demand and supply-side shocks to inflation for timely use of counter cyclical policies," Das said in a speech at Friday.He reiterated that the government needs to push more structural reforms and take fiscal measures to revive demand and boost growth since monetary policy has limitations.RBI has projected the economy to grow at 5% for 2019-20, after revising its previous forecast of 6.1% growth."Monetary policy, however, has its own limits. Structural reforms and fiscal measures may have to be continued and further activated to provide a durable push to demand and boost growth," he said.
New Delhi | Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has urged the Supreme Court to allow Malaysian healthcare provider IHH Healthcare to proceed with an open offer for Fortis Healthcare Ltd (FHL). The regulator said in its special leave petition (SLP) that this is mandatory under India's takeover code as the investor holds a 31.17% stake after having subscribed to a preferential allotment of shares in November 2018. ET has seen a copy of the SLP.The regulator said IHH Healthcare had completed the transaction before a Supreme Court decision freezing the Fortis-IHH deal in December 2018. The open offer threshold is 25%."Stay in the open offer is not in the interests of public shareholders," Sebi said in the SLP filed on January 22. "The open offer ought to be proceeded with, in the interests of the shareholders of Fortis Healthcare Ltd, who are entitled to, if they so desire, exit the company by accepting the offer, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Takeover Code, 2011."The court's December 2018 decision came after Japanese drugmaker Daiichi Sankyo said the change in control of the hospital chain had been orchestrated by brothers Malvinder and Shivinder Singh, the former promoters.Fortis Healthcare Welcomes Sebi's MoveDaiichi said this was to "defeat" its attempts to get ?3,500 crore the Singhs had been ordered to pay the Japanese company by an arbitration panel over the sale of Ranbaxy. The Singhs had been accused of concealing information from the acquirer when they sold the company in 2008.Fortis welcomed the Sebi petition. 73601101 "We are aware that Sebi has filed such an application," the company said in an emailed response. "While the matter is currently sub judice, Sebi's stance is consistent with FHL's application seeking modification of the Hon'ble Supreme Court's order dated December 14, 2018. We welcome Sebi's intervention and submissions that the open offer from IHH is as per Sebi's regulations, and should be allowed to be proceeded with, in the interest of all public shareholders of FHL."The regulator didn't respond to queries."Sebi's role in the matter is limited to the open offer," said a person close to the development. "We have filed an application before the Supreme Court saying that the acquirer be allowed to proceed with the open offer as they have already put in the money."IHH's open offer was to be held between December 18, 2018, and January 1, 2019. Minority shareholders of Fortis would have had the right to tender their shares at a fixed price during this period.The regulator has asked the court to pass "appropriate orders" permitting the acquirer and persons acting in concert to proceed with the open offer to acquire up to 197 million shares of Fortis Healthcare, representing 26% of the expanded voting share capital of the company. It would be in the interests of justice to allow IHH and its subsidiaries Northern TK Venture and Parkway Pantai "to proceed with the open offer to acquire up to 19,70,25,660 shares of Fortis Healthcare Ltd and pass such order," Sebi's petition said.IHH Healthcare won a bid in July 2018 to acquire Fortis, completing the deal in November by buying the 31.1% stake through the preferential allotment of shares. To stabilise the business, IHH infused ?4,000 crore in Fortis. An additional ?3,400 crore that was deposited in an escrow account for the open offer is currently stuck.At its last hearing in November 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the registration of a suo moto contempt petition against Fortis and sought an inquiry into its purchase of healthcare assets from a Singapore-based trust with proceeds from IHH's investment. The court observed that the purchase appeared to be a violation of its status quo order. The trust was floated by Fortis when the company was controlled by the Singhs.The next hearing into the matter has been scheduled for February 3. The Fortis management and the board that ran or supervised operations between January 2018 and January 2019 have also come under Supreme Court scrutiny. They included representatives of the Singh brothers. However, the board did not have any representatives of the Singhs at the time IHH was selected as the highest bidder for Fortis. IHH has maintained that at no time did it collude with the erstwhile promoters or any entities related or controlled by them in relation to the share purchase.
By Will Davies and Stephen TanSeveral people who've died from a new virus in China didn't display symptoms of fever, potentially complicating global efforts to check for infected travelers as they arrive at airports and other travel hubs.Details released by China's National Health Commission show that as of Jan. 23, five of the 17 people who died after being infected with novel coronavirus displayed other symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest tightness and coughing. The joint-oldest victim, an 89-year-old male, was suffering from drowsiness and incontinence, as well as a fever. He sought medical help on Jan. 5 and died on Jan. 18. He had pre-existing conditions, including hypertension.The absence of fever in some cases indicates that temperature screening, the most common measure being used at transport links and airports to check travelers, may not identify some infected people."If this virus can be transmitted without causing fever, then it's easier for the infection to travel globally because it can simply stay under the radar for a while," said Ramanan Laxminarayan, director of the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy in Washington, D.C.73601679 At least nine victims had pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease, the National Health Commission said. Eight were aged 80 or over, two were in their seventies, five in their sixties and one in his fifties. The youngest was a 48-year-old woman with a pre-existing condition. Four of the victims were women and the rest were men.73601660 China has banned travel from Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, essentially putting the capital of central China's Hubei province -- with a population of 11 million people -- under lockdown. The virus has already spread to other parts of the country and elsewhere, including the U.S. and Hong Kong, triggering memories of the SARS pandemic in 2003 that killed nearly 800 people.73601666 Hong Kong on Thursday suspended high-speed rail ticket sales to Wuhan, nearly 600 miles away, according to Radio Television Hong Kong, while Macau's government canceled Lunar New Year festivities. The holidays begin in earnest tomorrow, heaping pressure on Chinese authorities trying to contain the virus as hundreds of millions of people travel to their hometowns in the biggest migration of humans on the planet.
MUMBAI: Procter & Gamble, owner of the Pantene shampoo and Tide detergent brands, said its India business has slowed due to monetary policies that impacted liquidity in the market. "Slowing growth rates in India, largely as a result of some monetary policies, have created a bit of a liquidity squeeze, which is drying up inventory through the system," Jon Moeller, chief financial officer, P&G, told investors on Thursday. "But we continue to grow well in India and build share." In the previous fiscal, the world's largest consumer products company expanded sales by 16%, helped by rural expansion and new product launches. In FY20, however, sales of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) have been impacted by slack rural demand and a liquidity squeeze that affected wholesale channels. Rural demand, which accounts for about a third of the market and had been outpacing urban sales, was also hit by lower farm incomes. In fact, growth in the FMCG sector slumped to 6.6% during the quarter ended December, compared to 15.7% a year ago, its slowest pace in at least three years. The management commentary from P&G is in line with what rival companies have said earlier. Unilever chief executive Alan Jope last month said measures to revive falling growth may need time to take effect and its India business could start to pick up in the second half of 2020. Consumer products firm Marico, in its quarterly update earlier this month, said December quarter consumption trends belied expectations of a revival in sentiment, forecast on the back of good monsoons and various government measures. More than a dozen categories within daily household, personal and food products expanded at a significantly slower pace from 2018 — growth rates in many segments nearly halved.

By Madhavan NarayananWhat does the celebrated abbreviation 'PPP' stand for? Some wordplay is in order as we discuss the devastating Supreme Court verdict under which India's leading telecom companies, mainly Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, have been told to pay more than Rs 1,02,000 crore in spectrum user charges, licence fees, interest and penalty — confirmed in a dismissal of review petitions on the adjusted gross revenue (AGR; bit.do/fqicC).The World Bank expands PPP as public-private partnership, but a lot has happened in the past two decades to suggest that sometimes it is better expanded as private-public partnership. High-school mathematics teaches us that while sequence does not matter in combination, it does matter in permutation. A lot might follow from that for policymakers pondering on the next steps to keep India's telecom revolution going.Curative petitions may at most buy time, but only the naïve or the manipulative would argue that time does not represent money in an industry steeped in debt estimated, not too long ago, at Rs 3,90,000 crore for the big three players (bit.do/fqieo).We need to ask if the manner in which government resources were deployed to help private telecom companies had a secret trap door into which the industry has fallen or whether they took the State for granted in a system in which growth is umbilically tied to licences and airwaves that are a matter of public policy.That's a sad plight for an industry that revolutionised the Indian landscape in a matter of two decades by arming the poor with cellphones and smartphones, not to speak of enabling an information technology revolution. The rise of mobile and digital technologies happily coincided with liberalisation that ushered in the private sector with a policy that got going in 1994. However, what we also need to focus on is that PPP, a term turned fashionable for infrastructure building after reforms began in 1991, was applied to mobile telephony but de facto turned out to be so.While the PPP tag has been officially applied for digital infrastructure in rural areas, particularly those that take fibre optics to far-flung villages, in effect, spectrum has done pretty much the same thing to take the number of connections past 1.1 billion in a 1.3-billion strong country in which standing in a months-long queue for a shoddy landline connection was par for the course only three decades ago.Looking back at the 1990s, in highway development, the government spent money to acquire land before handing over the building or management to private players. In electricity generation, gas or coal came from the government. Along came sweeteners in the form of tax holidays and easier bank loans. All these collectively blessed the PPP tag.But in mobile telephony, the 2G spectrum scandal emerged from a policy that aimed at making services cheaper. The companies that brought in the revolution evidently did not see the risk in getting spectrum through a dubious policy that had political risk written all over it.Now that there is a huge mess to clear, it is perhaps wise to redefine the mobile telecom revolution retrospectively as part of a PPP regime even as we quibble which of two Ps, private or public, comes first. The Supreme Court has said what it has in a sense of fair play, but government, which wears several hats of taxman, policymaker, consumer's friend and business facilitator, needs to step in so that the industry and consumers do not suffer unduly. Redefining mobile telephony as a PPP may be the only way out, with some implications for the ground rules in a new context.There are only three big players left in the field, so Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea need to be able to compete with each other and with the more recent entrant, Reliance Jio. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is designed more to help consumers than to play a groundsman who smoothens the turf. It is for the government to think smartly so that predatory pricing or deep pockets that indirectly hurt competition do not get in the way of a level playing field.It is time for a fiscally-strapped government to ask: what is in it for me? The mobile revolution is behind us. The healthy proliferation of 2G connections was a matter of basic social need. The emerging universe of 5G spectrum is more like a luxury.The government would do well to think of itself as a partner than a provider for telecom players. In other words, the private-public partnership needs to become a public-private partnership. The State needs to get a slice of the emerging upside in the next wave of the telecom revolution. Once we accept that principle, solutions can emerge from the messy Supreme Court verdict.
Rahul Bhasin, Managing Partner, Baring Private Equity, says valuation distortions in the current market need to be seen in the context of cost of money, which is lower in the whole world today than what it was in last 1,000 years. Excerpts from an interview with ETNOW.The market is at an all-time high. Economic indicators at a record low. Nobody is excited about spending, yet consumption stocks are trading at PE multiples, which are highest in the world. Will the economists get it right or will investors like you get it right?My experience has been that markets are far smarter than people give them credit for. Of course, there are distortions and people get carried away at times, but you have to look at valuations in the context that the cost of money today in the whole world is lower than what it has been in last 1,000 years. Look at any of the reserve currencies in the world, whether it is the US, Japan or most parts of Europe, you will find everybody has got very strong monetisation programmes going in some form or fashion, and interest rates are at very low levels. If you have the cost of capital that low, driven by policy, then you will have a situation where asset prices will look pricey in any historical context.But if you discount that cost, you will find they may not be that unreasonable.In the Indian context, it is quite interesting that we have had the highest cost of capital in the world, probably, in real terms over last five-seven years, and for those companies, those stocks and that part of the economy which run on the domestic cost of capital, you will find that valuations are cheap. That is largely midcaps and smallcaps and that whole segment. But the part which is fuelled by the money from ETFs and from global capital, which has a far lower cost, you would find the multiples very expensive. I think that is the dichotomy that you are seeing in the market today, and that creates opportunities for all kinds of players, whether you are momentum player or a value player. I think it is a market for everybody at this moment.The purist would say that if you buy stocks at PE multiples of 50, 60, even 100 times, the returns will not be great. The new theory I am hearing is that if you are in a low interest rate environment, you cannot value stocks because if earnings are going to be there and if interest rates are low, then do not get trapped into valuing stocks based on PE. Do you think we need to understand that something different is happening in the world because you bought stocks that cannot be called very cheap and yet you have made money in Manappuram, Marico, Mphasis?In a market like India, where you can have compounding growth over many periods of a very extended period, you can see or work with companies to gain market share significantly. So that is organic growth, growth which comes from gaining market share. There is also growth in income which accrues because of productivity gains, and from essentially working with companies to reduce cash cycles. You start combining all of these gains together, then what looks nominally expensive can organically work out quite reasonable in the long run.I am very lucky and fortunate that I have long-term capital available. Because when you start doing any of these activities, what tends to happen is that you depress earnings in the short term, which is why most of our activities tend to be more in companies that are private, not public. If you work with a company to increase its brand, you increase expenditure. If you put new IT systems in place or ERP systems in place, you increase expenditure; you increase their quality processes, you increase expenditure, you increase entire HR processes and bring in more talent, you increase expenditure.So if you buy what looks nominally expensive, you make it even more expensive from a short-term multiples perspective, because earnings get depressed. But if you have a perspective that is long-term enough, you get the payoff from these kinds of businesses and these kinds of companies, which is why for more than two decades we have compounded money at over 30% a year.So there are a number of opportunities of this kind in India. You talked about Manappuram, for example, it is extraordinary. The company has phenomenal distribution. If you look at the number of transactions it does in a day, it is larger than most banks in the country. And it has distribution around the country. Its return on assets is 5.5 per cent, and if you look at the growth rate, it is almost double of its PE multiple today. 73579092 Obviously, such businesses will do well. But it was a long journey for us. We have been there for a long time, working with the company to increase the platform of different businesses, which have been built over the last five-seven years. It is a journey that takes a lot of investment, takes a lot of patience, but you come out of it on the other side right. You tend to get a lot of returns and it generates a lot of value for all stakeholders.So what is happening in the IT space?My belief is, even a lot consumer companies have become very expensive. A couple of things will happen now. Demand has been very artificially depressed at the moment. You are going through a transitionary phase; you are going through a lot of cleanup in the economy. You had this negative wealth impact of real estate. The real cost of money has been extraordinarily high, and that has depressed consumption. And long-term growth is actually way below trend.So you are not looking at peak earnings right now; you are looking at earnings that are probably under trend. So, multiples tend to look higher. On top of that, you had a lot of cleansing of the tax system, because of GST etc, which will benefit those players which are better organised and better compliant at the cost of those who were doing business in a non-complaint manner. I think a lot of these businesses will benefit. You will see a similar trend even in real estate, where you will have a handful of companies doing very well. We have investments in the listed environment in Prestige, in Brigade which have done extraordinarily well for us. We felt most of the weaker players will disappear from this sector in one or other fashion and larger players will actually gain market shares and have very robust growth and that hypothesis has worked out correctly. Let's take a look at the IT pack. I want to get your views on whether you feel midcap IT, in particular, is starting to look attractive given that the heavyweights are actually not showing that kind of robust performance?Most of the midcap IT players, which have not been rolled up, are quite well managed and that the opportunity in the global IT world is still very large. Indian companies still have a very robust cost advantage and they have access to good labour. Those fundamental competitive drivers have not disappeared. So these companies will do well. You will not see that tear-away growth, which was there 20 years ago in this sector, where a company would double every year or every two years, but for an investor looking for a 10-15% kind of organic growth over the next decade, these companies, especially the better-managed ones, will provide that kind of growth. I do think the bigger opportunity is from the disruption being caused by AI applications in different industries and you are already seeing disruption using these kinds of technologies in companies like Bajaj Finance, which has built a huge market cap in last decade or so by using and incorporating a lot of insights from these technologies. The winner and loser will get determined in this fashion. If you look at Tesla, a company which runs on an operating system. If something goes wrong with the car, somebody in central Tesla can actually rejig the car and rejig different functions in the cars to better optimise its performance. They actually capture the data of how the car functions in the conditions where it functions and can finetune the car in that situation.Now this kind of activity, the capturing of big data to actually understand how you can optimise your profit margins and your business model, these are the disruptions. This is where large value creation will happen; not in the traditional IT services kind of business. Having said that, they will still give you your steady 10-12 per cent kind of returns over the next decade or so.Do you think there is going to be a big earnings pool or a big growth sector, which will get unlocked this decade? To add to that where do you see a combination of earnings growth and PE growth, because that is an ultimate combination for investor? Do you see that happening anywhere in the listed space at all, or everything is priced to perfection?I did allude to some of the companies in our portfolio where price-to-earnings multiples are significantly lower than the growth. So you are inevitably going to get PE expansion and the value of the growth that inevitably happens. No, I do not think everything is priced to perfection. A very narrow strip of the market is priced to perfection, and that is really because of the arbitrage in cost of capital, which is driving that phenomenon.A lot of the small midcap companies are not priced to perfection, of course. It requires stomach of a long term for some to have a long-term exposure, but there is tremendous value that we find all the time. Also a lot of opportunities are arising today from the government's very stated intent to divest a lot of the public sector companies. A lot of them are very rich in terms of assets, and poor in terms of productivity. So if you make a call, greater clarity emerges as to which assets might get sold down. If there is half decent management that takes over, which is better aligned, you will find massive value creation in that ecosystem over the next decade or so. I think that will be fantastic for the economy.

NEW DELHI: Apple has likely posted a turnaround in iPhone shipments in the past year, boosted by strong double digit growth in the final quarter, thanks to aggressive pricing and sales promotions and the success of the iPhone XR and the latest iPhone 11 series, analysts said.Counterpoint Research estimates iPhone shipments to have grown 6% in 2019, though on a smaller base after a 43% decline the year before. For the October-December quarter, it is estimating the growth to be 41%, more than double the pace of the premium smartphone market where it said the expansion was slower than the full year average of 20%.International Data Corporation (IDC) too sees iPhone sales to have increased in the past year with a strong double-digit expansion in the last quarter — both sequentially and from a year earlier. It didn't give any specific shipment data for the year or the December quarter.Apple India didn't respond to ET's queries.

Aquariums are an easy, relatively low-maintenance way to keep a pet at your home. If you'd like to create a fun twist on this aquatic environment, try renovating a gumball machine with special aquarium supplies. Once you've cleaned out your gumball machine and made a few cosmetic changes, use power tools and sealant to trim and install aquarium flooring in your new tank. After you've attached the filter and added in some fun lights and decorations, you'll be ready to introduce some fish into your new tank!
[Edit]Cleaning the Gumball Machine and Getting Supplies
Remove any candy or gumballs from the machine. If you're repurposing a machine that used to hold various sweets, focus on getting rid of any extra gum and candy. Remove the lid and scoop out any leftover sweet treats until the tank is completely empty.[1]
Square or rectangular gumball machines work best when you're trying to create an aquarium.
While the candy and gum has a great color scheme, you can't keep these items in your future fish tank.
Try to use a large gumball machine for this project. The average goldfish is happiest in a tank that's . If you can't find a gumball machine close to that size, try using the largest tank that you can find.[2]
Twist or pull off the lid from your gumball machine. Before you start cleaning or making any adjustments to your gumball machine, take a moment to remove the lid from your rectangular or circular tank. If your machine is rectangular, try lifting off the lid to access the inside of the tank. If your tank is circular, try twisting the lid to loosen and remove it from the gumball machine.[3]
If your gumball machine has a lock on the lid, use a heavy-duty drill bit to work through the metal and break the lock.[4]
Wipe out the gumball container with warm water. Soak a rag or paper towel in water and rub down the sides, lid, and bottom of the gumball machine. Wipe down every visible surface to get rid of any leftover sugar, dirt, or grime that's in the tank. Try to avoid using soap for this, as soapy residue can hurt your future fish population.[5]
Pick up aquarium supplies for a small fish tank. If you don't know the gumball machine's exact dimensions, don't sweat it—instead, purchase supplies designed for a small, tank for a small gumball machine. While you're at the supply shop, grab some aquarium sealant, a small filter, as well as gravel, waterproof lights, and other decorations. Additionally, visit a hardware or home improvement store to pick up some polycarbonate sheeting.[6]
Sketch out a rectangular portion of the lid to remove. Take a ruler and measure the length and width of your new filter. Take this measurement and mark it along the side of the gumball machine lid. While the filter will be on the outside of the tank, you won't be able to fit the lid securely over the clip-on device. Because of this, you'll need to cut a small rectangular portion of your metal lid off.[7]
Depending on the size of your filter, the rectangular section might be as large as .
Wear gloves and safety glasses before using power tools. Before trimming your fish tank lid, slip on a pair of durable gloves, as well as a set of safety glasses or goggles. Since you'll be trimming metal, you don't want any loose specks flying into your eyes. If you want to take extra precautions, use a ventilating mask as well.[8]
When working with power tools, always stay in a well-ventilated area. Ideally, this project should be done outside.
Drill along the edge of this sketched rectangle. Take any drill bit and start drilling holes on the long stretch of line that you marked off on the lid. Continue forming holes along this area, as this will cause the metal to become weak, brittle, and easier to remove. Depending on the size of the lid, try drilling at least 5 holes along the reference line.[9]
Each drill hole should be about 4-5 millimeters apart.
Weaken the outer edge of the metal with a handsaw. Apply a small amount of pressure to the vertical lines of your rectangular mark-up with a hand-operated saw. While this tool won't finish the job, you can use it to weaken the vertical ends of your rectangle. Keep working the saw in a back and forth motion until the metal edge feels looser.[10]
The handsaw won't remove this section of metal completely, but it will make the metal come off more easily.
Chisel off the rectangular piece of metal from the lid. Place a chisel along the horizontal edge of the rectangle, next to the holes you drilled previously. Hit the end of the chisel with a hammer to apply pressure to the cuts and fissures that you've already formed in the metal. Continue hammering along the edge of the rectangular shape with the chisel until the metal piece falls off![11]
Don't worry about sanding this edge of the metal, as you only removed the metal so the filter could fit properly.
Saw off the central metal pole with a rotary tool. Use a handheld rotary tool to cut off any metal mixtures in the middle of your tank. Try to remove as much of the pole as you can, so you can cover its base with a piece of polycarbonate sheeting later on. If you don't remove this piece of metal, you won't be able to seal your tank properly.[12]
Trace the perimeter of your gumball machine onto a polycarbonate sheet. Set a sheet of polycarbonate material on top of your fish tank. Using a permanent marker, trace a rough line around the edge of your fish tank. Aim for your sketched lines to be almost exact with the actual perimeter, so the polycarbonate can fit snugly in the tank.[13]
The polycarbonate will serve as the base for the aquarium.
It's okay if your polycarbonate section is slightly smaller, as you'll be going over it with sealant momentarily.
If your machine is circular, trace the rounded opening on top of the tank.
Cut your outlined shape with a handheld rotary tool. Take your electric rotary tool and saw in a slow, smooth motion around the outline you drew. Try to keep the edges as smooth as possible, so the sheeting fits comfortably into the tank. Since you'll be placing this at the bottom of the gumball machine, you don't need to sand off the edges.[14]
Ideally, you don't want any jagged cuts or edges on this polycarbonate sheet.
Cover the bottom screws of the gumball machine with aquarium sealant. Find any screws that secure the tank portion of the gumball machine to the lower mechanism. Next, open your sealant bottle and squeeze a large drop of product on top of each screw to prevent any leaks around these areas.[15]
Depending on your gumball machine, you could have 4 or so screws on the bottom of your tank.
Squeeze a line of sealant around the bottom perimeter of the gumball tank. Take your tube and apply a line of sealant along the linear or curved edges of the tank. If you have a rectangular gumball machine, focus especially on the corners, and any other straight edges that look weak and less watertight than the others. As you work, try to keep the sealant as close to the edges and corners as possible.[16]
If the sealant isn't flushed along the edges and corners, your tank might not be watertight.
This sealant will help connect the polycarbonate sheet to the bottom of the tank.
Press the polycarbonate sheet firmly on top of the sealant. Take your fitted sheet and center it along the bottom of the tank. Next, arrange the edges along the sealant, then push the sheet into place. Apply a lot of pressure as you do this to ensure that the sheeting is secure.[17]
Add a second line of sealant along the upper edge of the sheet. Take your sealant tube and squeeze out another line of product along the edges above the installed sheeting. As you did before, keep the sealant close to the edges of the tank, as this will provide an extra layer of watertight security to your aquarium. Use this extra layer of product to fill in any gaps around the sheeting.[18]
Wait 2 days for the sealant to harden and set. Instead of replacing the lid on the tank, let your gumball machine stay open on a flat surface. Let the sealant dry for at least 48 hours, or it won't block out water properly. Keep track of the date you sealed the tank, so you can add water later in the week.[19]
Don't add any decorations into the tank until the sealant dries.
In the meantime, focus on acquiring your other decorations and supplies for the tank.
Stick waterproof lights beneath the lid of the gumball machine. Take an adhesive light and stick it to the underside of the tank lid. Additionally, look for long, horizontal lights that you can stick or connect to the inside of your tank. If you're trying to create a fun color scheme, consider purchasing lights in different fluorescent colors.[20]
Don't worry if you have extra wires dangling from the tank light fixtures. Keep a power strip on hand so you can manage all of the cords with your gumball machine aquarium.
Use low wattage lights for your aquarium, as most fish don't like excessive brightness.
Clip the filter along the side of the tank. Take your simple filter and secure it with a clip along the outside of the tank. Arrange it in the same place where you cut an opening in your metal lid, so the lid will fit properly later on. Make sure to plug the filter into an outlet or power strip, so you can keep the aquarium water clean.[21]
You can arrange your filter before pouring in the aquarium water.
Some filters come with special tubes and other miscellaneous parts. Read the instructions that come with your filter to make sure that you install the device correctly.
Line the bottom of your tank with aquarium gravel. Pour at least of gravel along the bottom of your fish tank. Arrange the gravel before placing any other decorations, since it forms the bedrock for the rest of your tank decor.[22]
If you'd like to go for a colorful theme in your tank, purchase brightly colored gravel at your local pet store.
Arrange different plants and decorations into the tank. Take fun plants and props and place them along the bottom of your aquarium. Try choosing a fun variety of different objects, including rocks and other items that the fish can swim through. As you decorate the tank, aim to create a fun and engaging environment for your future fish.[23]
Avoid using decorations made of plastic and ceramic, as these can harm your fish.[24]
Fill your tank with water. Take a pitcher of filtered water and pour it into your gumball machine aquarium. Aim to fill at least 80% of the tank, leaving of space or less at the top. Turn on your power strip or outlet to power the filter, and your tank will be ready for new fish occupants![25]
Check the instructions that came with your filter and see if the device needs to run for a certain amount of time before you can add fish.
Operate your tank lights and filter with a power strip. Check that your filter and wired lights are all plugged into 1 power strip. Make sure that this power strip is turned on, so the filter is functioning and actively cleaning the water. Whenever you clean your fish tank, make sure that this power strip is turned off.[26]
If you don't have a lot of cords on hand, feel free to use a wall outlet instead.
Add a small number of fish into your tank. Go to your local pet store or fish supply store and look for a small fish that would be a good fit for your tank. Look for smaller fish that won't take up as much space, like neon tetras. Unless your gumball tank holds at least of water, only add 1-2 fish total into your aquarium.
Talk to the pet or fish supply store associates to see which types of fish get along swimmingly, and if there are any predatory fish that you should watch out for.
Place the lid back on the gumball machine tank. Secure your lid, or "hood," on top of your gumball tank. Always keep this item in place, so the fish aren't tempted to leap out of the water. Since you have a waterproof light attached to it, keep the lid in place to provide a consistent glow in your tank.[27]
Some manufacturers sell gumball machine fish tanks. If you're in a rush or don't feel like going through the construction process, consider purchasing one of these.
This gumball machine should be rather large(at least 2-3 gallons) as a small machine will not provide enough space
While bikes are convenient and useful ways to get exercise, they aren't as practical when the weather gets cold and icy. Instead of having your bike take up space in your home, consider hanging it from the ceiling of your garage, attic, basement, or other storage area! If you're looking for a simple way to hang up your bikes, try attaching a rubber hook to a ceiling joist and dangling your equipment by one wheel. If you're looking for a more convenient way to lift and lower your bikes, try using a pulley system instead!
Select a rubber or other non-metal hook to hold your bikes. Check your local hardware store or sporting goods shop to find a rubber hook, or a hook that isn't made of bare metal. Look for a piece of equipment that's about thick, so you can hang it in your storage area without it taking up too much space.[1]
Don't use metal hooks for long-term storage, as these can scrape and damage the wheels of your bike.
Find a section of your ceiling that won't interfere with your vehicles. Search in your cellar, attic, garage or other storage area for a place where your bikes can stay for a long period of time. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you might not want to keep your bike in the center of your storage space.[2]
If you aren't sure whether or not your bike will be able to fit safely to your garage ceiling, take a quick measurement of your ceiling, vehicle, and bike's height to make sure.
Tap the ceiling with your hand to find the ceiling joists. Set up a ladder to reach the ceiling. If the surface is covered in drywall, tap around the ceiling to find a solid area. Once you've found a solid spot, mark it with a pencil or some other writing tool.[3]
Hollow areas will sound echoey when you tap on them, while solid areas will sound firm.
If your ceiling has beams instead of drywall, you don't have to worry about this.
If you're having difficulty finding the ceiling joists, you can also use a stud finder.
Measure the hook's diameter to choose a proper drill bit. Examine the rubber hook that you're planning to hang from your ceiling. Measure the diameter of the screw, then select an electric drill bit that's about ⅔ of the screw's width. Always use a drill bit that's smaller in diameter than the hook that you're using. When the bit is slightly smaller, you can firmly and securely install the hook into the ceiling.[4]
If your drill bit is too large, your hook might be too loose.
Create a pilot hole in the ceiling with an electric drill. Take your chosen bit and twist it into your drill. With a small amount of force, guide the drill into a solid section of beam. Use the entire length of the bit to create your pilot hole, then remove the device.[5]
Screw your ceiling hook into the drilled pilot hole. Use your hands to push and twist the ceiling hook into the pilot hole. Turn the hook clockwise to secure it into the ceiling. If you're having trouble tightening the hook, stick a screwdriver horizontally through the curved portion of the hook and twist it like a vice.[6]
Continue twisting until the hook is secure, and no longer shifts or turns.
Install a second hook if you want to hang your bike by 2 wheels. Measure the distance between the center axles of your bike wheels. Once your first hook is in place, use a tape measure to mark off that same distance from the initial hook. Drill a guiding hole through this mark, then twist a second bike hook into place.[7]
If you're planning on hanging up several bikes, use this measuring system to install multiple hooks.
Wipe down your bike with a wet paper towel. Take a damp paper towel or disinfectant wipe and clean off any visible dust, sweat or grime from your bike. Try and clean off all sections of the bike, as you don't want any dust or debris falling and clogging up the chains and gears of your bike while it's in storage.[8]
Sweat can be commonly found on most bikes, especially if you use your equipment a lot. Try to wipe away sweat as soon as you see it, or it could drip further into your bike.
Lift your bicycle and mount the wheel on the hook. Hold your bike from the center tube and bring it to the ceiling. Rotate your bike slowly, lifting the metal rim of the back wheel over the curve of the hook. Remove 1 hand at a time to make sure that your bike is secure.[9]
There's nothing wrong with placing your equipment in an upside-down or perpendicular position.
Mount both wheels if you have 2 hooks. Hold your bike from the center tube and lift it upwards. Rotate the equipment by 180 degrees, bringing both wheels up to the hooks. Place 1 wheel onto a ceiling hook at a time, making sure that the metal rim is resting over the rubber hook. Remove your hands gradually to make sure that the bike is in place.[10]
Acquire a pulley kit from your local hardware store. Before you begin any construction in your storage area, head to a hardware store or sporting goods shop to purchase a "bike pulley" or "bike hoist" kit. These kits generally include 2 pulley brackets, 2 hooks, a length of cord, and the screws needed for installation. You can save a lot of time by purchasing these supplies in a bundle, instead of searching for each part individually.[11]
You can get a pulley kit for as low as $9.
Tap the ceiling to locate the ceiling joists. Form a fist and knock on the ceiling of your storage area. Depending on the place you're storing your bikes, you might see visible beams and joists that you can use for your pulley system. If your ceiling is obscured or otherwise covered, tap on a specific area and listen for a firm or echoing sound. If the resonating sound is firm, then you've found a joist.[12]
Try measuring to find another ceiling joist, just to make sure.[13]
Screw 1 pulley bracket into a ceiling joist with an electric drill. Arrange your metal bracket along the length of the joist where you'd like your bike to hang. Don't worry about the exact measurements of your bike at this point. Instead, use your hand to hold the pulley in place, and use an electric drill to secure 4 screws into the corresponding bracket holes.[14]
Depending on your storage space, you might have difficulty attaching the screws in the joist right off the bat. In this case, use your drill bit to form as many pilot holes as there are openings in the bracket. This will make it easier for you to add screws later on.
You'll need bike measurements when attaching the second pulley bracket.
Measure the width of your bike seat to the handlebars. Take a measuring tape and extend it from the back of your bike seat to the center of your handlebars. Write down this measurement or commit it to memory, as it will help you arrange and attach your second pulley bracket.[15]
The pulley system hooks along the back edge of your bike seat and the front your handlebars.
Drill a pilot hole using the measurements from your bike. Use your measuring tape to determine your bike's length in relation to the first pulley. Arrange the pulley bracket along the same ceiling joist, centering it over the end of your bike measurement. Hold the bracket in place with your hand, using your electric drill to create pilot holes through the openings of the bracket.[16]
This process is the same as when you attached the first pulley bracket.
Thread and knot the pulley cord through the second bracket. Pull a section of your pulley cord through the back opening of your bracket. Use a firm knot to keep the cord in place, so the pulley system is secure. Once you've knotted the rope, let the rest of the cord dangle.[17]
Figure-eight knots are good for this kind of project.
The hole for the pulley cord is separate from the openings for the screws. Look for the end of the pulley that has an extra opening to figure out where the cord goes.
Attach the second pulley bracket using the pilot holes. With the cord looped through the back, arrange the metal bracket over the pilot holes that you drilled previously. Use an electric drill to attach screws through these openings. Continue applying pressure until the bracket is firmly secured to the ceiling.[18]
Don't attach any screws over the cord.
Loop the cord through both pulley brackets and hooks. Slide the hook apparatus onto the length of cord that you're threading through the pulley system. Take the loose end of this cord and bring it up and over the circular wheel of the pulley. Next, drag the length of cord horizontally so it attaches to the second pulley. Slide the second hook onto the cord, then loop the end of the rope up and over the circular wheel of this pulley bracket.[19]
Attach a heavy-duty adhesive hook to the wall. Pull off the backing paper from 1 side of the adhesive strip, then firmly press the sticky side of the strip to the wall. Next, remove the other section of backing paper from the adhesive. Take the back of the hook structure and press it firmly onto the sticky strip for several seconds to successfully set it up.[20]
Try choosing an adhesive hook with "utility" or "heavy-duty" on the label. While your pulley cord won't be that heavy, you don't want to use a flimsy hook.
Always follow the instructions on the hook's packaging.
Tie any extra cord to the hook on the lower wall. Leave of cord dangling from the pulley, so you can securely lift and lower your bike from your storage area. Loop the extra cord around the wall hook, so you can unspool it whenever you need to access your bike. If you don't leave enough slack for your pulley system, your bike hoist might not function properly.[21]
If you have more than 1 pulley system hooked up in your storage area, be sure to have separate wall hooks to prevent the cords from tangling.
Secure the hooks to the handlebars and bike seat. Take 1 hook and attach it beneath the back of your bike seat. Next, take the second hook and arrange it beneath the piping of your handlebars. Before you do anything else, check that these hooks are secure, and that they aren't going to shift and separate from the bike.[22]
Ideally, your hooks should have a rubber seal. If your hooks are only made of metal, then they might scratch your handlebars.
Pull on the cord to lift up the bike. Tug your cord at a 45-degree angle so the safety brake on your pulley system is released. Continue pulling on the cord to raise the bike until it reaches the ceiling of your storage area. Once you've lifted the bike, release the cord and loop it around the designated wall hook.[23]
At 8 weeks of age, your puppy is ready to leave its mother and littermates, and join your family. Your focus should be on your puppy's basic needs of eating, drinking, sleeping, playing, and eliminating. Around this time, a puppy is also becoming more curious and interested in its environment, so this is the best time to start teaching your puppy everything it needs to know!
Puppy proof your home before you bring the puppy home. Your puppy will try to get into things it shouldn't. Telling your puppy "no" will not be effective this early, and it will be impossible for you to watch your puppy all of the time. Ensure that your home is free from hazards to your puppy before you bring it home. Some effective ways to puppy proof your home include:[1]
Placing cleaning agents and other chemical bottles on a high shelf or in a locked cupboard.
Putting up small hazards, such as coins, paperclips, pins, and rubber bands.
Using baby gates to block off rooms and areas that you do not want your puppy to enter.
Get a bed for your puppy. Your puppy will need a cozy place to sleep at night. Make sure to get your puppy a bed that is big enough for it to fit on now and as it grows, such as a bed that is or larger for a big dog. Place the bed in a draft-free place in your home to ensure that your puppy will be warm in its new bed.[2]
If you do not want to purchase a bed, then designate a few blankets as your puppy's bed. Fold and stack them to make a soft place for your puppy to sleep.
Select appropriate chew toys for your puppy. Puppies still have their baby teeth at 8 weeks. As they lose these and grow their adult teeth they'll need to chew. Make sure your puppy always has plenty of simple toys and size appropriate rawhide bones. Have some in every room your puppy is allowed to be in.[3]
If your puppy chews the wrong thing, pick up its toy or bone, go to it and take away what it has with a stern "No" and then give your puppy its toy or bone. When it starts chewing the toy, give it praise.
If you don't give your puppy something to chew, it will find something to chew. Puppies need to chew to help relieve their teething pain.
Make an appointment for vaccinations and deworming. Your puppy will need to be vaccinated once every 2 to 3 weeks until it is 4 months old and it will also need deworming treatments during this time. Call your local veterinarian and arrange an appointment for your puppy for soon after you take the puppy home.[4]
Good breeders begin vaccinations very early before the pup is ready to come home with you. Ask your breeder for its puppy vaccination records so you can give it to your vet. If you are adopting the puppy from a shelter, its early vaccinations should also already be taken care of, but make sure to ask!
Puppies are often born with worms and may need to be dewormed by your vet. The breeder or shelter should have already done this, but ask to be sure.
Get heartworm prevention medication for your puppy. Heartworm prevention is important to puppies and dogs of all ages and should be started when they are young. Make an appointment with your vet to get your puppy its heartworm medication. Dogs of any age can get heartworm from a mosquito bite, and heartworm may kill your dog once they get it, so prevention is key![5]
Heartworm can be treated, but treatment is very expensive and the treatment itself kills the dog in about half the cases.
Microchip your puppy in case it gets lost. Even if your puppy has a tag, it could get lost. Ask your puppy's veterinarian about having a microchip implanted in your puppy. This way, if your puppy gets lost and taken in by a shelter, they will be able to contact you using the information in the microchip.[6]
Keep in mind that a microchip does not work like a GPS device. It only serves as a way to identify your pet if it gets taken to a shelter.
Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, legally require dogs to be chipped by 8 weeks of age. Check with your country's laws and regulations to see if microchipping is required.
Purchase dog food that is specifically formulated for puppies. Puppies cannot eat regular dog food. They need to have a food that is meant for puppies. This type of food will provide your puppy with the nutrients it needs to grow and it is in smaller pieces that are easier for your puppy to chew. Purchase a bag before you bring the puppy home.[7]
Ask your veterinarian or the breeder or shelter for a recommendation if you are unsure about which type of puppy food to buy.
Feed your puppy 4 scheduled meals per day. 8-week old puppies need to eat frequently to get in enough calories. Until your puppy is 12 weeks old, it will need to be fed 4 times daily at regular intervals. Develop a feeding schedule for your puppy to ensure that it gets the nutrition it needs.[8]
For example, you could feed your puppy at 7 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM.
Continue feeding this way until your puppy reaches 14 weeks, and then switch to 2 feedings per day.
Provide your puppy with fresh, clean water at all times. It is important for your puppy to stay hydrated, and puppies drink a lot of water! Your puppy may drink as much as ½ cup (120 mL) of water every 2 hours. Always keep a bowl of fresh, clean water out for your puppy. Place the bowl somewhere that will be easy for your puppy to access and check the bowl a few times daily.[9]
For example, try placing the bowl in the corner of the room where the puppy spends the most time.
If you take your puppy outside to play, bring a bowl of water outside too.
Take your puppy outside regularly to eliminate in the same place. House training a puppy requires consistency. Your puppy will need to go to the bathroom frequently since puppies cannot hold their urine or feces for very long. Take your puppy to the same spot every time to help it associate the spot with eliminating. Take your puppy out to go potty at the following times:[10]
When it wakes up in the morning
After it eats
When it wakes up from a nap
After it has just finished playing
Before bedtime
Every 20-30 minutes when its awake
Teach your puppy basic commands. At 8 weeks, your puppy will be ready to learn new things. This is a great time to teach it some basic commands, such as sit, stay, and lay down. Use positive reinforcement to teach your puppy these commands, such as by praising your puppy or offering it a treat when it does the desired behavior. You may train your puppy on your own, or complete a training course with your puppy.[11]
For example, if you are trying to teach a puppy to sit, use a treat as a lure and hold it up in the air to get your puppy to look up at it. When your puppy's butt hits the ground, praise and pet your puppy and give it the treat. Then, repeat the activity while saying "sit" as you hold the lure. After a few sessions, your puppy will begin to understand that "sit" means to sit and that it will get praise by doing this.
Introduce your puppy to lots of different sights and sounds. Puppies need to be exposed to lots of different sights and sounds to ensure that they will not be fearful of those things later on. Carry your puppy outside when you introduce it to new sights and sounds. Make sure to keep it on a leash as well so it can explore safely if you set it down.[12]
The breeder or shelter should have already started socializing your puppy by handling, exposure to different smells, and toys. Ask the breeder or shelter how they started socializing the puppy so you will know what types of exposure the puppy has already had.
Provide lots of opportunities for your puppy to interact with people. Make sure your puppy has many positive experiences with people from all walks of life. This will help to ensure that your puppy does not develop a fear or dislike of certain people, such as children, men, or tall people. Invite friends over and take your puppy out where it can interact with different people, such as on a walk in the park.[13]
Everything your puppy experiences during this time will be forever imprinted in him. For example, if a man with a beard does something to frighten your puppy, this is not a positive experience. Expose the puppy to bearded men who provide a positive experience so it doesn't grow into a dog who is fearful of, or aggressive toward, men with beards.
Expose your puppy to other dogs in a safe, controlled environment. Being around other dogs is also important for socializing your puppy. Take your puppy to a puppy training program so that you can expose it to other dogs in a safe, controlled environment. Check with your local pet store or dog kennel for information on the puppy training programs.[14]
Make sure that you only allow the puppy around other animals that have been vaccinated.
Before you get your puppy, know how big he'll be as an adult and the typical personality of the breed. Be sure you can accommodate it for its whole life.
