Asia will add 1.66 million U.S.-dollar-millionaires by 2015, taking the total number of wealthy to 2.82 million as the world’s fastest-growing major economies of China and India continue to mint millionaires, a report from Julius Baer said on Wednesday.

The Swiss wealth manager forecast that the wealth of high net-worth individuals (HNIs), those with $1-million (U.S.) or more in investable assets, would nearly triple to $15.8-trillion in the five years to 2015.


The wealth manager forecast that China and India would collectively contribute 40 per cent to global growth for 2011 and 2012.

A recent study has revealed that the desk tops are more dirtier than kitchen table and toilet seat. The study reveals that the desktops are having more bacteria and it is 100 times dirtier than kitchen table and 400 times dirtier than toilet seat.


The survey conducted by the American Dietetic Association and ConAgra Foods’ Home Food Safety Programme revealed that most of 83 percent of Americans are eating in their office desk itself to save time and money and about 27 percent of them take their breakfast at the office only.

The survey also indicated that only about 36 percent of the people clean their desktops, mouse and keyboard once in a week and about 64 percent clean their working areas once in a month.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Maryland suggests that watching a comedy movie is good for health since laughter has a positive effect on the cardiovascular function.


The researchers scanned the blood flow in the volunteers while watching the clips and found that watching a serious movie increased the mental stress and thereby caused a condition known as vasoconstriction wherein the muscular walls of the veins contracted and reduced the blood flow.

With the stock market losing over 11% in the last three months, most of fund managers believe that the equity valuations have dropped to fair to undervalued zone, a survey said.

"Most of the fund managers believe that the equity market valuations have come to a fair to undervalued zone. With more than 10% correction in the last three months since the previous survey in May 2011, most fund managers believe that valuations have turned more favourable," the survey by ICICI Securities said.



In terms of market return for the rest of the calendar year 2011, global fund mangers are more bearish compared to domestic fund managers, the study noted.

Earnings expectation has been revised downwards in the last three months from 15-20% to 10-15% for 2011-12 as well as 2012-13, it said.

Most of the fund managers believe that allocation towards equity markets at current levels should be increased with an investment horizon of one year and above.

With a cautious outlook for equity markets in the short-term, a higher number of fund managers believe that Indian debt markets may be a better investment option with an investment horizon of three to four months.

The Fund Manager Survey is conducted on a quarterly basis. The previous survey was done in May.

Former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh K Rosaiah is appointed as the governor of Tamil Nadu in place of S S Barnala, whose term has run out.

The proposed gubernatorial assignment for Rosaiah, who was dropped as Andhra Pradesh CM as part of Congress's game plan to contain Jaganmohan Reddy, is part of a larger exercise of appointments to Raj Bhawans.




He is an MLA of the Indian National Congress and has done many ministerial post over the past few years. He is most commonly known for his post of ministering the state finances as the Finance Minister. He is one of the most experienced Congress leaders in Andhra Pradesh. He was also the P.C.C president from 1995 to 1997. In 1998, he was elected as MP from Narasaraopet.

Rosaiah introduced the state budget 16 times, including seven in a row, a record in the country. He served as a finance minister under Marri Chenna Reddy, Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy and Y. S. Rajashekhara Reddy. In his tenure as Finance Minister in Chenna Reddy's cabinet, he ensured that teachers received retirement benefits.

He submitted his resignation as the Chief Minister to the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, ESL Narasimhan on 24th Nov 2010

The PM's intervention brought two significant rewards: Direct negotiations with Anna, rather than his associates; and respect for his acknowledgement of Anna's role in fighting corruption. Dr Manmohan Singh, who has been criticised for appearing too distant during Anna's movement, said, "His point has been registered. I respect his idealism. Anna Hazare has become the embodiment of people's concern and disgust with corruption. I applaud him, I salute him."

Dr Singh then sent  his party's Vilasrao Deshmukh  to meet Anna at his protest camp and convey that a debate in Parliament can begin tomorrow on all versions of the Lokpal Bill. Mr Deshmukh knows Anna well, both men are from Maharashtra where the Congressman has served twice as Chief Minister. Mr Deshmukh delivered the Prime Minister's offer, and took back Anna's request for an urgent debate on the Jan Lokpal Bill.

So far, Anna's team has three demands that have been contentious for the government.  Now, ministers are searching for solutions to these. 
The first is that the Lokpal -a new independent agency to investigate corruption - must be allowed to cover junior bureaucrats so that graft is combatted "from the villages to our ministries."
The second is that the Lokpal Act must be introduced not just at the Centre but in states. 
Finally, he wants government departments to adopt a citizen's charter that would punish officials for under-performance.

Salt-to-software conglomerate Tata group, the country's largest in terms of market wealth, has also taken the biggest hit of over Rs 91,320 crore ($20 billion) in its market valuation since July.

Indian stock market has been under tremendous pressure in recent weeks, primarily due to global economic worries, and its overall valuation has fallen by an estimated Rs 9,13,200 crore ($200 billion) so far in the current quarter, beginning July 1.


The loss suffered by Ratan Tata-led group accounts for over 10% of the overall loss in the market and is also higher than a cumulative erosion of Rs 68,490 crore ($15 billion) from the stock wealth of two Ambani groups.

While Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries group has lost close to Rs 45,150 crore ($9.89 billion), the group led by younger Ambani sibling Anil has seen little over Rs 22,830 crore ($5 billion) being eroded from its market wealth in this period.

An analysis of market wealth data of large corporate groups shows that the business houses having suffered significant erosion in their valuation also include Vedanta, Adani, ICICI, Infosys, Wipro and Jindal groups.

On the other hand, the losses have been relatively less for groups like Birla, Mahindra, Bajaj, HDFC and L&T, while that of Sunil Mittal-led Bharti group has actually seen a marginal increase of Rs 19 crore since July 1.

The Indian market's total valuation has fallen from Rs 67,31,000 crore ($1.53 trillion) at the beginning of this quarter to Rs 59,29,250 crore ($1.33 trillion) currently.

The market benchmark Sensex has dropped by over 2,500 points or about 13% in this period.

A new study shows that like girls, boys are also maturing physically much earlier than previous generations with the age of sexual maturity decreasing by about 2.5 months each decade.

Joshua Goldstein, director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock (MPIDR), has used mortality data to prove this trend, which until now was difficult to decipher.


What had already been established for girls now seems to also be true for boys: the time period during which young people are sexually mature but socially not yet considered adults is expanding.

"The reason for earlier maturity for boys, as with girls, is probably because nutrition and disease environments are getting more favourable for it," said demographer Goldstein.

Alcohol firms target young people with their drink campaigns on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, claims concerned authority.

The charity Alcohol Concern claimed that drinks companies' web pages 'appeal to minors' with games, competitions and videos of drink-fuelled parties, the Daily Mail reports.


According to the report 'New Media, New Problem?', teenagers themselves use company logos to set up their own unofficial sites about drinking, praising the products and uploading pictures, which present themselves as 'being able to consumer large quantities of alcohol'.

YouTube India recently launched a new box office channel where visitors can watch Hindi and regional language movies online.

Now Yahoo is launching a new service called MoviePlex where users can watch full Bollywood movies.

India requires about 55 million additional jobs by 2015 to maintain its current ratio of employed to total population at 39%, research firm Crisil said today.

In a report 'Employment in India: Uneven and Weak', Crisil said the country has to nearly double the job creation rate, witnessed during 2005-10, to achieve this number.


"Job creation has clearly not kept pace with the GDP growth. The GDP growth increased to 8.6% during 2005-10 from 6% during 2000-05, but the net addition to jobs remained almost flat at around 27 million during the two time periods," Crisil Chief Economist DK Joshi said.

He also said that combined with a decline in the number of self-employed persons, this sharply reduced the employment intensity (number of persons per lakh of real GDP) to 1 in 2005-10 period from 1.7 in the preceding five years.

The study -- based on National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) data on employment -- also said that generating 55 million jobs would pose an overwhelming challenge without appropriate policy support.

It also said that employment potential of fast growing manufacturing and services sector could not be fully exploited due to the lack of enabling policy environment.

"In manufacturing, which is a crucial source of jobs for relatively low-skilled labour, [jobs] declined by 7% despite a faster growth in manufacturing output," Crisil said.

It also pointed out that employment growth in financial intermediation and business services slowed down during 2005-10 period.

However, job creation was up by around 70% in the construction sector, mainly comprising up of casual jobs.

The report said that there was a decline in number of self employed people by 25.5 million in 2005-10 period as compared to an increase of 65.5 million in the preceding five years.

Similarly, around 65% of the total jobs were created in rural areas during this period.

Referring to job creation patterns, it said that high economic growth alone would not be able to create jobs as it required appropriate policy measures in this regard.

"The role of policy assumes greater importance now since the weak growth in advanced countries is likely to hurt job growth in export-oriented sectors in India," Crisil said.

The agency said that policy gridlock in labour reforms remained the primary cause of insufficient labour demand in manufacturing. In financial intermediation and business services, labour supply had not kept pace with growing demand due to shortage of highly educated skilled labour.

Anna Hazare was today sent to seven days' judicial custody after he refused to sign a personal bond and come out on bail following his arrest.


Hazare, who was arrested in the morning on grounds of apprehension of breach of peace following his intention to defy prohibitory orders to go on indefinite hunger strike, was produced before a Special Executive Magistrate.

Delhi Police Commissioner B K Gupta told a press conference that the police was not keen that he should be sent to judicial custody.

Gupta said the police was prepared for his being released on a personal bond if the Gandhian would have given an undertaking that he will not defy Section 144 of the CrPC that prohibits gathering of five or more people and also ask his supporters not to do so.

Sources said since Hazare refused to give an undertaking, the Magistrate remanded him to a seven-day judicial custody.

He is likely to be taken to Tihar jail where he will spend time in judicial custody. Three other leading activists of the team Hazare--Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Manoj Sisodia-- were also sent to judicial custody on similar grounds.

10 things to know about Anna Hazare 'n Jan Lok Pal Bill.. !

1. Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War



2. What's so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.

In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,...?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bil, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit their theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?
The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.

Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.

Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?
At least we can spread the message. How?

Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.

At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.

At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.

At least we can pray for his good health.

The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) will officially be merged with Congress on August 20, according to PRP president Chiranjeevi.

"We decided to officially merge Praja Rajyam with Congress on August 20, the birth anniversary of Rajeev Gandhi. On August 20 and 21, senior party (PRP) leaders will take Congress party membership at Gandhi Bhavan," Chiranjeevi told reporters here.

Chiranjeevi was earlier scheduled to meet AICC chief Sonia Gandhi between August 7 and 10, to formally take primary membership of Congress. However since Gandhi is undergoing treatment in USA, the PRP chief is expected to take Congress membership from Rahul Gandhi.

The PRP, which has 18 seats in the 294-seat State Assembly, had announced the merger plans in February.

The PRP has already technically merged with the Congress party in Andhra Pradesh, even though a public meeting could not be organised to formalise the amalgamation.

The current political uncertainty in the state over the bifurcation issue has jeopardised Chiranjeevi's plans to organise a grand meeting with Sonia or Rahul Gandhi to formalise the merger.

It wasn’t just a defeat. It was a case of annihilation as Team India were wiped out of the Pataudi Trophy by a team from a different planet altogether. The series is gone and with it the number one ranking. What’s more!
