Credit Rating Agencies – Need for Reform
Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) – Need for Reform
1. Crisis – Spotlight on CRAs
“Credit-rating agencies use their control of information to fool investors into believing that a pig is a cow and a rotten egg is a roasted chicken. Collusion and misrepresentation are not elements of a genuinely free market ” – US Congressman Gary Ackerman
The smooth functioning of global financial markets depends in part upon reliable assessments of investment risks, and CRAs play a significant role in boosting investor confidence in those markets.
The above rhetoric although harsh beckons us to focus our lens on the functioning of credit rating agencies. Recent debacles as enunciated below make it all the more important to scrutinize the claim of CRAs as fair assessors.
i) Sub-Prime Crisis: In the recent sub-prime crisis, CRAs have come under increasing fire for their covert collusion in favorably rating junk CDOs in the sub-prime mortgage business, a crisis which is currently having world-wide implications. To give some background, loan originators were guilty of packaging sub-prime mortgages as securitizations, and marketing them as collateralized debt obligations on the secondary mortgage market. CRAs failed in their duty to warn the financial world of this malpractice through a fair and transparent assessment. Shockingly, they gave favorable ratings to the CDOs for reasons that need to be examined.
ii) Enron and WorldCom: These companies were rated investment grade by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s three days before they went bankrupt. CRAs were alleged to have favorably rated risky products, and in some instances put these risky products together for a fat fee.
There may be other over-rated Enron’s and WorldComs waiting to go bust. CRAs need to be reformed to enable them pin-point such cancer well-in-advance thereby increasing security in the financial markets.
2. Credit Ratings and CRAs
i) Credit rating: is a structured methodology to rank the creditworthiness of, broadly speaking an entity, or a credit commitment (e.g. a product), or a debt or debt-like security as also of an Issuer of an obligation.
ii) Credit Rating Agency (CRA): is an institution specialized in the job of rating the above. Ratings by CRAs are not recommendations to purchase or sell any security but just an indicator.
Ratings can further be divided into
i) Solicited Rating: where the rating is based on a request say of a bank or company and which also participates in the rating process.
ii) Unsolicited Rating: where rating agencies claim to rate an organisation in the public interest.
CRAs help to achieve economies of scale as they help avoid investments in internal tools and credit analysis. It thereby enables market intermediaries and end investors to focus on their core competencies leaving the complex rating jobs to dependable specialized agencies.
3. CRAs of note
Agencies that assign credit ratings for corporations include
A. M. Best (U.S.)
Baycorp Advantage (Australia)
Dominion Bond Rating Service (Canada)
Fitch Ratings (U.S.)
Moody’s (U.S.)
Standard & Poor’s (U.S.)
Pacific Credit Rating (Peru)
4. CRAs – Power and Influence
Various market participants that use and/or are affected by credit ratings are as follows
a) Issuers: A good credit rating improves the marketability of issuers as also pricing which in turn satisfies investors, lenders or other interested counterparties.
b) Buy-Side Firms : Buy side firms such as mutual funds, pension funds and insurance companies use credit ratings as one of several important inputs to their own internal credit assessments and investment analysis which helps them identify pricing discrepancies, the riskiness of the security, regulatory compliance requiring them to park funds in investment grade assets etc. Many restrict their funds to higher ratings which makes them more attractive to risk-averse investors.
c) Sell-Side Firms : Like buy-side firms many sell side firms like broker-dealers use ratings for risk management and trading purposes.
d) Regulators: Regulators mandate usage of credit ratings in various forms for e.g. The Basel Committee on banking supervision allowed banks to use external credit ratings to determine capital allocation. Or to quote another example, restrictions are placed on civil service or public employee pension funds by local or national governments.
e) Tax Payers and Investors: Depending on the direction of the change in value, credit rating changes can benefit or harm investors in securities through erosion of value and it also affects taxpayers through the cost of government debt.
f) Private Contracts: Ratings have known to significantly affect the balance of power between contracting parties as the rating is inadvertently applied to the organisation as a whole and not just to its debts.
Rating downgrade – A Death spiral:
A rating downgrade can be a vicious cycle. Let us visualise this in steps. First a rating downgrade happens. Banks now want full repayment anticipating bankruptcy. Company may not be in a position to pay leading to a further rating downgrade. This initiates a death spiral leading to the companys’ ultimate collapse and closure.
Enron faced this spiral where a loan clause stipulated full repayment in the event of a downgrade. When downgrade did take place, this clause added to the financial woes of Enron pushing it into deep financial trouble.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company is another case in point which was pressurised by aggrieved counterparties and lenders demanding repayment thanks to a rating downgrade. PG&E was unable to raise funds to repay its short term obligations which aggravated its slide into the death spiral.
5. CRAs as victims
CRAs face the following challenges
a) Inadequate Information: One complaint which CRAs have is their inability to access accurate and reliable information from issuers. CRAs cry that issuers deliberately withhold information not found in the public domain for instance undisclosed contingencies which may adversely affect the issuers’ liquidity.
b) System of compensation: CRAs act on behalf of investors but they are in most cases paid by the issuers. There lies a potential for conflict of interest. As rating agencies are paid by those they rate and not by the investor, the market view is that they are under pressure to give their clients a favourable rating – else the client will move to another obliging agency. CRAs are plagued by conflicts of interest that might inhibit them from providing accurate and honest ratings. There are conflicting noises with some CRAs admitting that if they depend on investors for compensation, they would go out of business. Others strongly deny conflicts of interest defending that fees received from individual issuers are a very small percentage of their total revenues so that no single issuer has any material influence with a rating agency.
c) Market Pressure : Allegations that ratings are expediency and not logic-based and that they would resort to unfair practices due to the inherent conflict of interest are dismissed by CRAs as malicious because the rating business is reputation based and incorrect ratings may lower the standing of the agency in the market. In short reputational concerns are sufficient to ensure that they exercise appropriate levels of diligence in the ratings process.
d) Ratings over-emphasised: Allegations float that CRAs actively promote an over-emphasis of their ratings and encourage corporations to do like-wise. CRAs counter saying that credit ratings are used out of context through no fault of their own. They are applied to the organizations per se and not just the organizations’ debts. A favourable credit rating is unfortunately used by companies as seals of approval for marketing purposes of unrelated products. A user needs to bear in mind that the rating was provided against the stricter scope of the investment being rated.
6. CRAs as Perpetrators
a) Arbitrary adjustments without accountability or transparency: CRAs can downgrade and upgrade and can cite lack of information from the rated party, or on the product as a possible defence. Unclear reasons for downgrade may adversely affect the issuer, as the market would assume that the agency is privy to certain information which is not in the public domain. This may render the issuers security volatile due to speculation.
Sometimes eextraneous considerations determine when an adjustment would occur. Credit rating agencies do not downgrade companies when they ought to. For example, Enron’s rating remained at investment grade four days before the company went bankrupt, despite the fact that credit rating agencies had been aware of the company’s problems for months.
b) Due diligence not performed: There are certain glaring inconsistencies which CRAs are reluctant to resolve due to the conflicts of interest as mentioned above. For instance if we focus on Moody’s ratings we find the following inconsistencies.
All three of the above have the same capital allocation forcing banks to move towards riskier investments.
c) Cozying up to management: Business logic has compelled CRAs to develop close bonds with the management of companies being rated and allowing this relationship to affect the rating process. They were found to act as advisors to companies’ pre-rating activities and suggesting measures which would have beneficial effects on the companys’ rating. Exactly on the other extreme are agencies which are accused of unilaterally adjusting the ratings while denying a company an opportunity to explain its actions.
e) Creating High Barriers to entry : Agencies are sometimes accused of being oligopolists, because barriers to market entry are high and rating agency business is itself reputation-based (and the finance industry pays little attention to a rating that is not widely recognized). All agencies consistently reap high profits (Moody’s for instance is greater than 50% gross margin), which indicate monopolistic pricing.
f) Promoting Ancillary Businesses: CRAs have developed ancillary businesses like pre-rating assessment and corporate consulting services to complement their core ratings business. Issuers may be forced to purchase the ancillary service in lieu of a favorable rating. To compound it all, except for Moody’s all other CRAs are privately held and their financial results do not separate revenues from their ancillary businesses.
7. Some Recommendations
a) Public Disclosures: The extent and the quality of the disclosures in the financial statements and the balance sheets need to be improved. More importantly the management discussion and analysis should require disclosure of off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments. Shortening the time period between the end of issuers’ quarter or fiscal year and the date of submission of the quarterly or annual report will enable CRAs to obtain information early. These measures will improve the ability of CRAs to rate issuers. If CRAs conclude that important information is unavailable, or an issuer is less than forthcoming, the agency may lower a rating, refuse to issue a rating or even withdraw an existing rating.
b) Due Diligence and competency of CRAs Analysts: Analysts should not rely solely on the words of the management but also perform their own due diligence by scrutinising various public filings, probing opaque disclosures, reviewing proxy statements etc. There needs to be a tighter (or broader) qualification to be a rating agency employee.
c) Abolition of Barriers to Entry: Increase in the number of players may not completely curtail the oligopolistic powers of the well-entrenched few but at best it would keep them on their toes by subjecting them to some level of competition and allowing market forces to determine which rating truly reflects the financial market best.
d) Rating Cost: As far as possible, the rating cost needs to be published. If revealing such sensitive information raises issues of commercial confidence, then the agencies must at least be subject to intense financial regulation. The analyst compensation should be merit-based based on the demonstrated accuracy of their ratings and not on issuer fees.
e) Transparent rating Process: The agencies must make public the basis for their ratings including performance measurement statistics historical downgrades and default rates. This will protect investors and enhance the reliability of credit ratings. The regulators should oblige CRAs to disclose their procedures and methodologies for assigning ratings. The rating agencies should conduct an internal audit of their rating methodologies.
f) Ancillary Business to be independent: Although the ancillary business is a small part of the total revenue, CRAs still need to establish extensive policies and procedures to firewall ratings from the ancillary business. Separate staff and not the rating analysts should be employed for marketing the ancillary business.
g) Risk Disclosure: Rating agencies should disclose material risks they uncover during the risk rating process or any risk that seems to be inadequately addressed in public disclosures, to the concerned regulatory authority for further action. CRAs need to be more proactive and conduct formal audits of issuer information to search for fraud not just restricting their role to assessing credit-worthiness of issuers. Rating triggers (for instance full loan repayment in the event of a downgrade) should be discouraged wherever possible and should be disclosed if it exists.
These measures if implemented can improve market confidence in CRAs, and their ratings may become a key tool for boosting investor confidence by enhancing the security of the financial markets in the broadest sense.

Technical Indicators In Forex Trading: Understanding Their Limitations
Forex traders often look at technical indicators such as Bollinger Bands, Pivot Points, MACD, Moving Averages and the such to help them determine where to enter or exit trades. Using technical indicators is fine, however many traders overemphasize their importance or just plain misunderstand them.
Many forex traders think that they can simply download an indicator and then mechanically apply it into their trading and do so profitably. This is just a plain illusion. Successful traders realize that there is a lot more to using indicators than just asking them to generate buy/sell signals or pin-point exact entry points. Technical indicators for them represent just one part of their trading strategy.
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you should not put all your faith into those sometimes confusing little indicators.
Take Moving Averages (MA’s) for example. They are “supposed” to show the direction of the trend. The most common and often used are the simple 200day MA, 100day MA, 50day MA, 35day MA and the 21day MA but they are only valid on daily graphs. Some forex day traders say that a good signal is when the 50day MA is crossed by the 13day MA and that when this occurs you should trade in the direction of the cross.
The problem with this (apart from the fact that it only works on daily graphs) is that these types of “crosses” do not occur often enough for traders to exploit them. This can often lead to a situation where traders are seeing what they thought was a cross now reverse and uncross. Even worse, it can lead to a situation where day traders are “chasing” and trying to anticipate a cross. If you are doing this, you are distancing yourself from the market which you are trying to trade. Not only are you trying to guess what the price is going to do next but you are guessing what the indicator, based on the prices, is going to do next.
Other problems with technical indicators involve issues with the quotes and prices given to you by your broker. Forex brokers are market makers and as such different brokers will give you different quotes and prices at a specific point in time. Naturally, a different price could lead to a situation where different traders, trading the same market have the same indicators giving them different responses. That’s how arbitrary technical indicators can be.
Finally, a lot of these technical indicators were developed by people trading the stock market. With the growth of computers and software packages that incorporate these indicators, technical analysis has become very popular and spread to other markets such as the forex market. What currency traders should be aware of however, is that as these indicators were developed in a time where real time information did not exist. As such, the limitations of technical analysis becomes even more exaggerated in forex trading – not only is technical analysis an interpretation of historical events but it becomes even more so in the forex market, a market moved by real time events.
Conclusion
Successful forex traders understand the limitations of technical indicators and realize that technical analysis should incorporate just one part of their trading strategy. In a recent international Forex market event visited by the major banks and institutions – the main players that influence the foreign currency market – a survey was done to better understand what analysis they use. The results might be surprising to some tarders. The survey showed that a mere 26% use technical analysis and indicators compared to 41% who said they use fundamental analysis.

How do your contractors measure up?
Every government organisation has contractual relationships. Conventional wisdom and common sense suggest that these relationships need to be managed to ensure parties comply with agreed terms and conditions.
In the public sector, contracting is a foundation activity for most programmes. As a result of this contract management should be a fundamental part of programme administration. In reality, however, many agencies struggle to allocate resources to managing contractor relationships.
Performance management is not a new concept. The early days of staff performance management demonstrated how hard it is to develop an effective regime. There is a lot we can learn about performance management from HR practitioners and there is an opportunity to benchmark the effectiveness of managing contractor performance against similar HR systems.
Managing the performance of a contractor is essentially about managing risk. We all know that standard public sector line: ‘The government’s approach to risk management is that the party best able to manage risk takes responsibility for that risk’. Logic suggests that the party best able to manage risk associated with a contractor not meeting requirements is the government; ipso facto, the government have an obligation to establish a regime to monitor contractor performance. The failure to establish such a regime may leave the government in a position of not achieving value for money, that is:
- not getting what it wanted
- having an unacceptable level of risk, and/or
- having unacceptable costs.
Performance Management Systems
A common framework applied to HR performance management systems, as follows:
- Definition
- Evaluation, and
- Feedback.
These three elements exist in most systems to ensure clarity, transparency and accountability in the process.
The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) in its publication Performance management in the APS: A strategic framework notes the importance of being able to measure performance at both the organisational and individual level. The APSC guides agencies to linking and aligning individual, team and organisational objectives and results.
Although there are differences, the objective is the same for contractors. That is, the organisation wants to ensure that an individual contractor’s performance is meeting requirements and effectively contributing to organisational outcomes.
Standard Resources
Most HR sections have a comprehensive staff performance management resource kit. A good kit will include information on:
- performance planning
- preparing for reviews
- how to conduct reviews
- timing reviews
- how reviews link to remuneration and benefits, and
- forms to be completed.
Resource kits typically provide clear definitions. There might also be a staff self-assessment form and possibly an upward feedback form which contributes to a manager’s assessment.
Additional information may relate to standard Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as:
· Productivity · Analytical Ability · Teamwork · Timeliness · Creativity · Relationships · Reliability · Initiative · Administration · Flexibility · Ability to learn · Professionalism
The objective is to have a consistent approach to performance management. Having a resource kit is a mitigation strategy aimed at treating the risks associated with having an overly complex system.
The procurement profession should take note. The threat of protracted staff disputes and the possibility of legal action has driven HR into a position of having well-developed performance management systems supported by comprehensive resource-kits. These systems and kits can be easily applied to contractor relationships.
Drivers for change in contracting
Procurement groups haven’t come under the same intense pressure as HR; hence, performance management for low value contracts in most organisations is quite poor.
There is a well-trodden path through the judicial system to resolve employer/employee conflicts. This has resulted in HR practices being taken more seriously by senior executive, with time and effort being invested to ensure that employment law requirements are complied with (eg. Work Choices, and more recently, Forward with Fairness).
In the procurement world, it is very different. Most senior executive still view procurement policy and practices as an administrative hurdle instead of a strategic business tool.
While HR systems take care of staff performance, it is risky to not have a performance management system for external suppliers. Having a contract does not absolve management from what contractors do within government programmes.
Most government agencies are compelled to measure value for money during contract delivery. The Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines state the core principle underpinning Australian Government procurement is value for money. Given the definition of procurement in those guidelines, agencies should assess whether value for money is being achieved during contract delivery in order to report on compliance with this procurement principle. However, it’s surprising how many agencies have no measurement framework established for contracts. Certainly, at a whole of government level, there is no structured reporting on this.
Establishing a performance management framework for contracting is a critical ingredient to assess whether value for money is being achieved.
Measuring Contractor Performance
Definition
The market approach documentation (eg. Request for Tender) and the contract are two places where definitions need to be clear. Defining performance management elements in the market approach documentation allows an agency to assess the degree of compliance against stated requirements. Typically, a comprehensive description of measures would cover:
- what will be measured
- why it will be measured
- when it will be measured
- who will measure it, and
- how it will be measured and reported.
In terms of ‘what will be measured’, there are two distinct areas to cover:
- Quality, and
- Performance.
To illustrate the difference between the two, consider the task of building a bridge across a river. A performance measure may be the date of completion. The quality measures would relate how well engineered the bridge is (eg. the bridge must not fall down if a car drives across it) and how correct the bridge is (eg. the bridge must reach both sides of the river).
Well engineered
Well engineered means the construction is sound and reliable. It does not necessarily mean it is correct.
Correct
Correct means the final results are an accurate reflection of the requirements. It does not necessarily mean it is well engineered.
Far too often there are loose contracted performance measures like ‘Timeliness of Report’. This may result in a report being submitted on-time (to meet the performance measure); however, if the report is of poor quality, it may be useless. In a case such as this, the contract may have been fulfilled and the payment made… even though the report was not well engineered.
For low to moderate value procurements, developing performance measures is a lot easier if you have a Work Breakdown Structure defining milestones, deliverables and tasks. Measures simply flow from this structure (ie. for each element in the structure, define performance and quality measures).
The use of standards may also help. If the deliverable should meet a standard, then a quality measure should focus on compliance with the standard. But be warned, compliance to standards doesn’t necessarily mean the deliverable will meet objectives. There are many risk management systems complying with AS/NZS 4360 that are difficult to use.
So what do we collectively call these measures? KPIs?, KPOs?, SLAs?, SLIs?, SLGs?
It really doesn’t matter what you call them, just ensure the right content is there.
Evaluation
The government seek transparency and accountability when assessing contractor performance. It is helpful in feedback sessions if both parties have undertaken an assessment. The contractor should undertake a self-assessment and have the agency undertake a contractor assessment.
If evaluation ratings are used to assess performance, ensure comments support the assessment (ie. a score of 1 should be supported with detailed commentary to explain why the performance was unsatisfactory).
Similarly, some seek to quantify the effectiveness of delivery by assigning weight to measures. When the ratings are applied to the weight, the resulting effectiveness is expressed as a percentage. If used, this approach should be clearly documented in the contract (with weights and rating definitions).
Feedback
Communication is critical in managing performance. Once the agency has completed its assessment of the contractor, and the contractor has completed a self-assessment, the feedback process should be an open and objective review of both assessments. Having developed a clear set of measures and collected the evidence to support the assessment, the process should be straightforward.
Difficulties only arise when evaluation is based on subjective assessment, or measures are poorly defined, or the supporting evidence is perceived by one party to be flawed. The key message here is: establishing a well-defined foundation provides the basis for a confident performance management review.
Conclusion
Governments rely heavily on contractor relationships with the private sector. Managing contractor performance is a fundamental part of risk management in the public sector. Robust performance management systems must be established to ensure contractors are contributing positively to outcomes.
Regardless of the specific performance management approach used, the key takeaways are as follows:
- Performance management requirements must be clearly identified in the market approach and contract documentation.
- Performance and quality should be measured.
- Ensure that there is an effective evaluation and feedback loop.
In their publication Guidance on Ethics and Probity in Government Procurement, the Department of Finance and Deregulation state: “A good outcome is achieved when probity is applied with common sense”.
A performance management system underpins probity and ethics in contracting; however, there is a need to apply common sense.

Understanding The Credit Score Rating Scale
Anyone who has checked into their credit score has probably found the rating scale to be somewhat confusing. There are a bunch of numbers, each meaning something different. Understanding how this rating works will help you to read your credit score effectively.
There are several pieces of information reviewed by companies when they build your credit score. These factors include the following:
- Your past payment history
- When you pay your bills
- The amount of outstanding debt you have
- The length of your credit history
If you have a great deal of debt or you don’t have a very long credit history, you will receive a lower credit score even if there are no “black marks” against you.
Recent credit applications also factor into your score. If you have made too many applications recently, this will cause you to receive a lower score. As will too much debt at high interest rates, such as high rate credit cards.
A score of 700 or higher is considered a good credit score. At this level, you shouldn’t have any problems getting credit, and at a low rate of interest.
If your score is between 450 and 650, it indicates that your credit needs some work to improve it. At this level you’ll likely have a harder time finding a loan or qualifying for a credit card without some type of security. You will also likely be paying a higher interest rate because you are considered a higher risk.
If your score is below 450, your credit is in need of some serious help. At this level you likely won’t be able to qualify for a loan or credit card until you pursue some form of credit counseling to improve your score.
If your credit score needs improvement, there are a number of sources that can help. There are many credit counseling services available, many of which are free to use. They will be able to assess your financial situation and offer advice as to the best route to improving it – and your credit score along with it.

Dominant Role of Weighing Scale
Weighing scale plays a dominant role in the economy. Nowadays, more number of people started realizing the purpose of scale and started using it. Weighing scales becomes important and essential for the day today business organization and users. Today, the advancement of technology has induced every people to use weighing scale to know the accurate measurement for their purchase and carriage. Since to know the exact measurement with counts for the object placed on the scale, the weighing scales are designed and produced by more number of manufacturers. Weighing scales comes in different models, sizes, prices and capacity. Today, without the use of weighing scales, no business or carriage takes place.
This is so because; weighing scale is the only instrument which helps to measure the weigh of the object placed. Without this instrument or equipment, measurement with counting can not be taken for the object. Weighing scales also comes in different types like bench scales, platform scales, digital scales and many other types of scales innovated to serve the purpose and to come up with accurate and exact counting of the objects. Weighing scales has been designed to satisfy the needs in all the ways. To weigh the weight of truck either with or without load, any object weighing scales produces exact measurement with proper counting of the object placed on the weighing scale.
With the advancement of technology, weighing scales has come up with lots of facilities to make comfortable the customer. Tools and buttons like automatic off, counting buttons, automatic loading batteries, battery indicator and so on. This tools and buttons help the customer to use the weighing scales as per their necessities. During the past days, though weighing scales has been introduced, more types were not found and for some cases, people finds difficult to obtain the exact measurement. But now, more number of types of weighing scales has been innovated for the customers like business people and general public.
These weighing scales are designed specifically to meet the requirement of the customer all over the world and this has been innovated by different styles of manufacturers. Since weighing scales becomes important and essential for most of the people in the world, it is said to be dominating the world.

The significance of weighing scale
Scales are very essential device or equipment which helps you to measure the objects in a very precise manner. This provides you with the exact measurement of the things which are produced or manufactured. There are number of products being produced to satisfy the requirements of the people. Each product is needed to be measured before it is handed to someone the weight of the object can be measured using various types of weighing scales like platform scales, floor scales, platform benches and many other types are available in the market. This will help you to measure the objects when placed on scales. These weighing scales come in different types of sizes, kinds, models and with different capacity. This measures the mass from one beam to another.
An inexact scale can guide to inappropriate weigh stats and possibly will prove expensive. On an individual level, weighing scales can be influential in helping persons keep up and manage their physical condition by indicating when they are required to increase or decrease their weight. In the approved manner standardizing your weighing scale is input to make sure that your outcome are precise and to as long offers you a peace of mind.
Floor scales, bench scales, bagging scales, truck scale, counting scales, weighing scales and a lot of additional kind of scales are intended to provide precise outcome. These scales are intended in diverse dimensions, capability, form, load cell and class. Weighing scales are frequently used to determine mass of the thing. Additional number of scales is created accordingly to the requirements of the client or consumer. While an item has been positioned on some kind of scale, it provides correct measurement with the counting of number of items. These days, the scales are created with innovative tools. These tools are innovated accordingly to the request and needs of the buyer. Scales are manufactured only to attain the outcome in a larger quantity.
Weighing scales are the scales use to calculate the heaviness or the weight of a thing. The most important reason for the set up this scale is to be familiar with the weight of the thing positioned on the weighing scale. It decides the weigh of the equipment or thing positioned on the scale varying from small to weighty or huge load.
