Multiple Sclerosis Book Excerpt:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Currently, the causes of MS are still unclear and the cure remains symptomatic, while the effectiveness of treatment varies widely among individuals. The clinical features and neurological defects derived from this progressive neurological disease are diverse since MS may affect the human central nervous system (CNS)) at all levels from the brain to the end of the spinal cord. Immunopathogenesis of MS involves many steps, including activation of peripheral leucocytes against putative CNS antigens, activated leucocytes with inflamed cerebral endothelial cells, the migration of activated lymphocytes and macrophages through the endothelium to the CNS environment, and further propagation of a massive immune response within the CNS. Such large-scale immune activation leads to loss of the myelin-oligodendrocyte complex. Various types of immune cells and mediators of the immune-inflammatory response actively contribute to MS pathogenesis. Genetic factors are also thought to play a central role in the development of most forms of MS. Axonal degeneration and neuronal loss are the core components of irreversible and permanent CNS atrophy and disability in MS. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current MS situation as researchers try to understand the process and develop treatments that can slow or stop the disease, possibly repair the damage, alleviate specified symptoms, and improve the abilities of MS patients to function in everyday life. Various biological holistic approaches have been shown to slow disease progression in some patients, and the recovery rate of cellular mechanisms in the brain and spinal cord has been accelerated, increasing the possibility of achieving complete balance of the disease state. The panel reviews the background, focusing on novel strategies that are most likely to understand the biological mechanisms of recovery and translate findings into alternative comprehensive approach to the MS management. The modality of such complementary therapies adds a new dimension, geared to further improvement in the management and sustain the acquired long-term results of MS. This book will be necessary to researchers, research funders, healthcare advocates of MS research and treatment, and interested patients and their families.

Home Top Stories Citroën Research short seller Andrew took off on the Evergrande debt crisis
Citroën Research short seller Andrew took off on the Evergrande debt crisis
Andrew Left, Founder and CEO of Citron Research
Adam Jeffery | CNBC
Andrew Left, an American short seller who years ago was banned from doing business in Hong Kong for a damning report he wrote about Evergrande, said the promoter's debt crisis Chinese real estate was "long lasting".
But he told CNBC he didn't think the Evergrande situation signaled a larger problem for China.
"The Evergrande situation had been happening for a long time and China had to get rid of its system. It's not a Lehman moment and it's not settled, "the left told CNBC in an email.
He was referring to the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers – the world's fourth-largest investment bank at the time, which filed the largest corporate bankruptcy in US history. This bankruptcy spread to other banks, leading to the global financial crisis.
Left, the founder of Citron Research, was banned from trading in Hong Kong markets after he released a 2012 report that predicted Evergrande would soon go bankrupt.
His five-year ban ends next month.
In an email interview with CNBC, Left said, "Everything I have discussed, from influence to corporate governance, has turned out to be true, and instead of considering my report, SFC … Asked me to defend myself. Forced to spend lakhs to
He was referring to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), which alleged that Left published a report on Evergrande containing "false and misleading" information, including an allegation at the time that the real estate developer was involved. in an accounting fraud.
Following the SFC's allegations, the Hong Kong Market Misconduct Tribunal found the left to be guilty. The Tribunal is an independent body that deals with cases of abusive market practices, including insider trading and stock market manipulation.
I believe China has a plan to eliminate it. It might not be pretty, but it is long and they will save the system from the bottom up.
André Left
Founder of Citron Research
The leftist claim – that Evergrande was bankrupt and committed accounting fraud – seems never to have been proven. In 2015, the court rejected Evergrande's request to produce records and documents.
Evergrande was not available for comment when contacted by CNBC. CNBC has contacted the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, which declined to comment on the report.
The escalating crisis in Evergrande, the world's most indebted with $ 300 billion in liabilities, hit global markets this week. The company is the second-largest Chinese developer in terms of sales and has a strong presence in the country, operating in sectors ranging from real estate to electric vehicles and healthcare services.
Evergrande has said he could default on his debt with a massive $ 83 million interest payment on Thursday. Analysts have also warned that this will happen by default. Investors are watching developments closely amid fears of a spread to other markets.
Left said that Evergrande's current liquidity crisis had shown him to be right when he wrote his 52-page report in 2012. Short selling is an investment strategy that involves selling borrowed stocks in hope to buy them back at a lower price. And earn money with the difference.
"10 years ago, I wrote about how the company plays fast and unrestrained with debt and uses aggressive accounting to hide its true financial health. I continued to highlight how the company's favorite projects were. The total costs billions of dollars in balance sheet financing, "Left said.
"Now everything I wrote has come true and the Chinese people are suffering. It shows the importance of free speech and short selling in the markets, "Left said.
Angry Chinese investors have staged protests in recent weeks demanding repayment of their money. Foreign investors, which include the world's major asset managers, are waiting to see if Evergrande will be able to pay the two interest payments due Thursday and next week.
"China has plans"
The crisis will wipe out the company's stock, Left predicted.
"Evergrande's equity is worthless and the bonds are questionable," he said. Evergrande shares have fallen more than 80% year-on-year and the yield on its bonds has risen. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions: the higher the yield, the lower the bond price.
Even though the Chinese developer is in serious trouble, Left said the impact will be limited.
"Chinese banks will take a manageable blow and the people will be helped by the government," he said. "I think this is not systematic and will not affect future investments in China or Hong Kong. I think the regulation of the tech industry is a lot scarier than that. "
"I believe China has a plan to open it. It might not be pretty but it is long and they will protect the system from the bottom up, "he said.
Left denies decision by Hong Kong regulators
Left was banned from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Markets in 2016 after being found guilty of market misconduct in connection with the Evergrande Report by the city's Market Misconduct Court.
The court also ordered him to repay 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars ($ 205,000) he had earned from short-selling the stock.
Here's what Hong Kong regulators allege he did – and his denial on every point.
1. Bad market practices
Regulators accused the left of market misconduct in releasing the report. In the report, he said Evergrande was insolvent and defrauded investors. The court said the left's claims are false and misleading.
Left said the report said Evergrande was or "soon will be" insolvent because the company's cash flow "cannot handle" the volume of debt and off-balance sheet activity.
Referring to the current liquidity crisis, he said: "I have supported him with photos and testimonials from protests across the country. His request was ridiculous. I think we see it now.
"Now look at who is paying the price – the working poor and the people who trusted Evergrande with deposits," he said.
2. Lack of knowledge of local accounting practices
Regulators said Left had little knowledge of local accounting standards and financial reporting and had not checked with experts or companies to verify the information he received.
Left says he was using GAAP, a common set of accounting principles and standards published by the US Financial Accounting Standards Board, to which companies listed in the US must adhere.
"The fact that I am using GAAP standards and not Hong Kong accounting [standards] does not eliminate the tone or message from the report on some data points, "he said.
He told CNBC the courts would not allow him to question Evergrande's CFO or the company if there are charges.
"I had a test where I was not allowed to question the company. It was more than one-sided, "he said.
3. Negligence
The court accused the left of being negligent in publishing the report.
Left insisted he was not reckless. "What if I was, are they going to lay charges against every investment bank that has a target of $ 30 on a stock with huge bank fees, without seeing the evidence?" he asked via email. "It's recklessness."
On Thursday morning, Evergrande stock was at 2.58 Hong Kong dollars ($ 0.33), after falling more than 80% year-on-year.

I wonder what is the story with the irq pin. In the MyConfig.h there is a MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE option which states that for nrf MY_RF24_IRQ_PIN must be defined and as I understand the irq pin will be used. if MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE is not defined the irq pin is not used ? On the other hand in the "Connecting Radio" section of the tutorial there is this: "The IRQ is currently not used by the MySensors library so it can be left un-connected" so is it used or not ? and what is the MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE ?
anybody hear me ? please help !
If you use the MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE, you must connect the IRQ pin. Otherwise it's not needed.
ok, thanks. What MY_RX_MESSAGE_BUFFER_FEATURE actually do ? what are the cons nad pros in the context of the repeater node ?
The nrf24 radios can only buffer 3 incoming messages at most, if more come in they will be lost.
For repeaters and gateway (basically non-sleeping sensors) this feature enables immediate retrieval of incoming messages and buffering in internal ram. For crowded networks, or sensors which send a lot of data at once, this feature reduces packet loss.
Drawbacks are the increased use of ram (amount of messages buffered can be configured) and the nrf irq has to be connected.
Ok, updated doc. @Yveaux, feel free to update the text I wrote.
thanks ! so i guess it is better to use that buffer in my repeater node.
"NRF24L01+ & ESP8266" section should be also updated ?
@rozpruwacz beware that it hasn't been tested extensively. I've using it on avr for a long time though.
understand, but now i'm designing the device which hopefully will run for couple of years, so sooner or later this irq pin wiil be necessary.


Sometimes steel frames and older frames use a 27.2 (inner diameter) seatpost size. Many newer frames don't and therefore dropper seatposts for 27.2 are a bit more rare. Here are some options from my research.

The 'Despacito' effect: The year Latino music broke the charts
By Marisa Arbona-Ruiz with NBC News • Updated: 25/12/2017

It was a cultural moment in a year of swift changes.
Much like the #MeToo movement brought attention to the sexual harassment of women, "Despacito" and later "Mi Gente" brought into clear view Latino artists' rising influence in the American and music scene.
With staggering numbers, both the Spanglish "Despacito" by Puerto Rican artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, and "Mi Gente" by Colombian-born J Balvin and French artist Willy Williams in full-on español, hit #1 on Spotify's most streamed songs worldwide.
With 4.5 billion (and growing) YouTube views, "Despacito" became the "most viewed of all-time" video while "Mi Gente" followed with 1.4 billion views landing at #3 for top music videos of 2017.
It also happens that six of the top ten YouTube music videos of 2017 feature Latino artists.
Welcome to the new Latin music explosion.
To put this sonic tsunami in perspective, this year marks only the third time that Spanish-language songs have hit #1 on Billboard's Top 100 Chart in American history, after 1987's "La Bamba" by Los Lobos and "La Macarena" by Los Del Rio in 1996.
While there have been other instances of Latin cross-over successes going back to the Ricky Martin era and Gloria Estefan before that, the 2017 successes are unprecedented.
Latino songs have also inspired the beginning of unlikely — and highly successful — cross-cultural collaborations. Remixes featured none other than pop artists Justin Bieber on "Despacito" and Beyoncé on "Mi Gente."

"We never in our wildest dreams saw this coming," said Fonsi about "Despacito". "We knew we had a big song in the Latin market… I didn't know it was going to be #1 in Russia… [and] huge in Asian countries!"
There are several factors that put this cultural music moment in context.
The Internet's globalizing effect
There are cracks in the mold that have dictated artists record only one style and one language. We can thank globalization for that.
Thirty years ago, the group Los Lobos defied the odds by following-up their #1 pop-rock hit "La Bamba" with a Mexican folkloric album that won them a GRAMMY, and they're still going strong.
But for most Latino artists, it's a tough road to make it to the top of the U.S. charts. Founding band member Louie Perez credits the Internet. "It's giving artists complete freedom to do whatever they want. Groups can be a huge success just by the way they can market themselves rather than depend on a record company."
Perez said that while Europe has a "huge variety of music that cross-talks all the time, American taste is very myopic. Record companies nurtured that for so long to monetize music. It became compartmentalized [with] everything you can imagine to support separate categories of music. You could listen to heavy metal, and only heavy metal for the rest of your life because there's an infrastructure for it: radio stations devoted to it and record companies that sell it."
But "unification" is underway, according to Colombian superstar Juanes, who recorded an English-language song for the first time on the album he releasedthis year.
"All this technology is [bringing] people closer. I think Anglo people are starting to listen to Latin music in a different way and that's fantastic," said Juanes. "And Reggaeton and urban music are connecting the whole world so that makes me feel proud of who we are."
Gracias, streaming
Streaming is the game-changer that shifted power to artists. For the U.S., the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) mid-year revenues report credits streaming for 82 percent of Latin music revenues, with paid subscriptions growing 74 percent, growing the fastest of major revenue sources.
And it's not just in the U.S. "For the first time in Latin America, they're actually making a ton of money selling music through streaming," noted Lionfish Entertainment's Rebeca León, who manages both J Balvin and Juanes.

"There was so much piracy before — like 80-90 percent piracy in those countries, you couldn't sell units. And now all of a sudden the whole region becomes so important to labels and composers. It feels like Medellín, [Colombia] is the epicenter of the Latin movement right now, [shifting from] Mexico City which has been the stepping stone to mainstream success," said León.
"Colombia has had a big impact in [producing] urban music because their form of expression is more universal rather than vulgar; what I call 'neo-reggaeton', a beauitul fusion and true evolution of the genre that appeals to everybody," León said.
"It's great that we have this power now," says Balvin, who independently emerged onto the scene in Colombia through YouTube and streaming. "It creates a newfound base for artists."
Not to mention the power that it gives to consumers.
The power of young Latinos
"Latin explosion? There's no question it's happening," says León. "There's a hyper-consumption of reggaeton by Latin Americans —Latins are streamers, YouTubers, Spotifyers. These kids today are the lean-back generation that never had to buy music a day in their life. And José (J Balvin) is the epitome of the millennials. Everyone's looking at Spotify now as a reference for relevancy."
Nearly six-in-ten U.S. Latinos are millennials or younger. With a median age of 28, along with the mainstream's median age of 37, that is significant for music consumption in this digital age.
Add to that the secret sauce — the popularity of the reggaeton beat.
"Reggaeton is so universally danceable, it really has helped this music travel", said Leila Cobo, executive director of Latin Content/Programming at Billboard. "If we were talking about ballads, the results would not be the same."
What does this Latin music explosion mean for the future? For one, it's expanding through artists and nationalities.
"In the next several years, we will see a lot more cross-pollination and multicultural collaborations," said Cobo. "There are collabs already out or in the works, Flo-Rida with (Colombian singer) Maluma; Fonsi with Demi Lovato [and] my favorite: Post Malone with Nicky Jam and Ozuna," (a Puerto Rican reggeaton and trap singer).
What's new today, said Cobo, is that many big mainstream names want to collaborate with Latin musicians.
Her suggested pairing? "I'd love to put Ed Sheeran together with Nicky Jam because they're both amazing songwriters and original voices, but coming from very different places. And Taylor Swift with a Romeo Santos or an Ozuna!"
Rebeca León sees opportunity and challenge ahead.
"Spotify's not fully global yet. Once they get all the territories online, like in Asia and the Middle East, we may see some equalizing effect. But in the meantime, it's a good time for Latin music. We just have to continue having really exciting songs that merit the attention, because you don't get there without a great song," said León.
"Our talent and industry should really push ourselves to grow and do better because everybody's watching," she added. "Everybody's watching."

The company behind the multi million pound Wolverton railworks development has apologised for making spiteful comments about a protester.
An astonishing series of internal emails between staff at St Modwen Properties PLC has been revealed.
The emails, released after a Subject Access Request (SAR), concern local campaigner Phillip Webb, who is fighting to save some of the works' historic buildings from demolition.
He is convcined St Modwen hacked into his private Facebook and hotmail accounts to obtain his personal details.
St Modwen also somehow discovered Mr Webb and his family were homeless after losing their privately rented house in Stony Stratford last year.
St Modwen want to build up to 375 houses on half the rail works site, with the remainder allocated for industrial use.
The £100 million scheme has been given the green light by Milton Keynes Council - but the decison is set to be challenged in the High Court with a judicial review.
Historic England, who applied for the review, say demolishing the former works buildings would destroy the heritage of the railway town.

What Does a Well Really Look Like?
Most people imagine a well working like a straw in a soda cup: that there's one long pipe or hole that eventually leads to a basin of water that's ready for extraction. This is a clean way to look at it, but as with most things in reality, it almost never works that way. This is the main reason why bore hole inspections exist.
The average well is hundreds of feet deep, with the first signs of water coming anywhere between 300 and 400 feet. The variables that add on top of each other as the hole goes deeper makes it impossible for any geographic model to accurately predict the actual condition of a well. In addition, it's much easier to stick a camera at the end of a rope to see exactly what's going on anyway.
Now, most of the bore hole equipment available for rent on the market are highly sophisticated pieces of technology that can probe the depths of most wells. It's with these instruments that inspectors can get first hand data on the status of a well, and then calculate on its volume capacity and recharge rate. But, what do inspectors actually see when they drop a camera into a well?
When diggers bore a hole into the bedrock, they're looking for fractures in the rock where it's weakest and where water could be. A well inspection is a lot like going through a narrow hallway with a bunch of leaking pipes gushing water everywhere. Inspectors count these leaks and record the depths at which they appear, and add that to their data.
It may seem like a crude way of doing things, but there's simply no other way doing the job with the same effectiveness. Proposals for alternatives are either too expensive or impractical to be taken seriously enough to pose as proper competition.
Wells are never as simple as holes in the ground that lead to subterranean pools. Using them is a necessarily messy process that breaks apart materials that are hundreds of years old for essential resources. It's going to take both finesse and force to use a well effectively, and understanding what it's really like inside is the first step towards doing that.


One method of helping new readers read more content from your blog is to add a "recent posts" widget to the sidebar. Blogger users can do this easily by adding a "feed widget" using the default feed URL (eg: http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default). However, this will only return the 5 most recent posts at most; Blogger doesn't (yet) support the ability to display a greater number of entries.
Many Blogger users would prefer to display more than 5 recent posts in their sidebar, and indeed there have been requests for an article explaining how to do this on Blogging Tips and my own Blogger site.
So in this post I'll outline three different methods you could use to display more than 5 recent posts in your Blogger sidebar, so you can choose the method which seems most suitable for you.
Using BuzzBoost, you can choose to add any number of recent posts to your widget, include the favicon of your blog, a snippet of each post (a post summary), and also alter the date format.
To use BuzzBoost to add a recent posts widget to your Blogger sidebar, you must already use Feedburner to syndicate your Blogger feeds (here are four great reasons why Blogger users should do this). Then log into your Feedburner dashboard and select the blog for which you would like to activate BuzzBoost.
On the BuzzBoost page, you will see the many options you can use to configure your recent posts widget. These options are pretty self-explanatory, but the most important thing for you to do is activate your BuzzBoost widget by clicking on the appropriate button at the bottom of the page.
You could also choose to add this as a new widget in Blogger, which generates a simple widget installer and adds this automatically to your Blogger layout. This is by far the simplest method: simply choose Blogger from the options in the drop-down menu, and follow the prompts to add this to your layout.
In either case, the widget will display your recent posts widget to match any other list elements in your sidebar.
For example, if you use a dark background and pale text, your BuzzBoost widget will be styled accordingly.
Hans of Beautiful Beta has developed "recent posts" widget which is easy to both configure and set-up.
Using this method, you can add a recent posts widget which features a short summary of your post, and can choose how many entries you would like to display.
To install the Beautiful Beta recent posts widget, head over to the widget installation page and click on the "Add Recent Posts" button.
A pop-up page will appear which includes all of the options you can choose to configure for your widget.
Alter the widget title and add your blog URL in the appropriate boxes. Then choose of you would prefer to display a summary of your posts (if so, the length in characters of the summary you wish to display).
Once you have finished setting your options, click on the "Customize" button (which saves your settings) then the "Add to my blog" button will be highlighted, which takes you to the widget installation page for your Blogger blog.
From here it's simply a matter of following the prompts, which will install this widget to your Blogger sidebar in literally seconds!
While "Blidget" may seem a rather silly name for a blog feature, this is actually a very useful tool!
To create your free Blidget, simply visit the Blidget creation page over at Widgetbox and enter your blog's URL (this doesn't need to be your feed URL). Then press "continue".
On the following page, Widgetbox will have parsed your blog page to discover the feed URL automatically. Then you can choose how you would like your widget to display, including the size, number of posts, and even whether to display the first image of each post inside the entry (which is craftily scaled to fit the width of your Blidget).
Once all the settings are to your preference, click on the Continue link near the bottom of the page. If you are already a member of Widgetbox, you will be prompted for your username and password. If you are not a member, here you can sign up for a free account there and then.
Using any of these three different methods you can add more than 5 recent posts to your Blogger sidebar, which may encourage new readers to read other articles you have written.
There are many other methods you could use to add a list of recent posts to your Blogger sidebar, but for me these are the most useful three. Do you use a different service to display a list of your most recent posts? If so, please let us know about this by leaving your comments below.


Betty Ann and Jamie are some of the kindest people that I've ever met. I had been hearing so much about Jamie from Betty Ann since the day that she booked me to photograph their wedding, and it was such a joy to finally meet him at their engagement session. As they walked down to hill to meet me at the NC Art Museum, he waved frantically which immediately made me and know that I was really going to like him. Within minutes of us being together he had Betty Ann and I laughing so hard, which made for some really fun pictures!
I love sessions that take place during the Fall, and we just so happened to schedule their session on the most perfect Fall afternoon. The sky was blue and the temperature was not too hot and not too cold, but just right!

Detroit Tigers Preview and Opening Day Festivities
April 7, 2022 | Marquette | Events
While this year's Detroit Tigers Opening Day isn't technically the team's first since 2019, for fans it may as well be.
2020's game, postponed amid the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, was ultimately held in July with no fans in the stands. In 2021, a limited number of spectators were permitted into the stadium for the team's home opener, but festivities were tamed by spiking cases and a vaccination effort still in its infancy.
Friday's event (which also almost didn't happen) marks an apparent return to "normal": Comerica Park will allow full stadium capacity and will not require masking; parties, tailgates and barbecues will again fill the city's streets and bars.
Planning to head downtown for the return of Detroit's favorite unofficial holiday? Here's everything you need to know.
When is Tigers Opening Day?
When: 1:10 p.m. Friday April 8.
Where: Comerica Park, Detroit.
TV/radio: Bally Sports, WXYT-FM (97.1; other radio affiliates).
Starting pitchers: Tigers LHP Eduardo Rodríguez (9-3, 3.61 ERA last year) vs. White Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (11-9, 3.53 ERA).
Where to get Opening Day tickets
Tigers Opening Day tickets are nearly sold out. Although options are pretty picked over, terrace and standing room tickets are still available through official vendor Tickets.com. Prices range from $55 for a standing room spot to $89 for a terrace seat.
Don't see a seat you like? Additional tickets can be found on third-party resale sites, including StubHub, where prices range from $70 to more than $300.
Opening Day weather forecast
Veterans of Detroit's past Opening Day games will be unsurprised to learn that Friday's forecast calls for a coat and an umbrella.
A high temperature of 47 degrees is predicted, with cloudy skies throughout the day and possibly some light showers, according to the AccuWeather forecast. Chance of rain is at 85%.
First Pitch and National Anthem
The National Anthem will be performed by Detroit native and 12-time Grammy Award winner Jack White. It'll be the first time performing the Anthem for the Cass Tech alum, who kicks off his 2022 tour Friday with a pair of shows at Detroit's Masonic Temple Theatre.
Following White's performance, fans will be treated to a flyover of Comerica Park by four A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog" aircrafts from the 107th Fighter Squadron.
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Amari Bartee, son of former Tigers player and first base coach Kimera Bartee, who tragically passed away in December at age 49.
Get to the park early! Gates will open at 10:30 a.m, and attendees are encouraged to take their seats no later than 12:40 p.m. in order to catch the pre-game action.
Early birds can take advantage of the Miller Lite Home Run Happy Hour on the Pepsi Porch, which offers $5 concessions (including beer!) from 10:30 a.m. til noon.

Judgement Date September 18, 2014
Court Supreme Court (India)
Judgment:
Kurian Joseph, J.
1. Construction by Plaintiff, destruction by Defendant. Construction by pleadings, proof by evidence; proof only by relevant and admissible evidence. Genuineness, veracity or reliability of the evidence is seen by the court only after the stage of relevancy and admissibility. These are some of the first principles of evidence. What is the nature and manner of admission of electronic records, is one of the principal issues arising for consideration in this appeal.
2. In the general election to the Kerala Legislative Assembly held on 13.04.2011, the first Respondent was declared elected to 034 Eranad Legislative Assembly Constituency. He was a candidate supported by United Democratic Front. The Appellant contested the election as an independent candidate, allegedly supported by the Left Democratic Front. Sixth Respondent was the chief election agent of the first Respondent. There were five candidates. Appellant was second in terms of votes; others secured only marginal votes. He sought to set aside the election Under Section 100(1)(b) read with Section 123(2)(ii) and (4) of The Representation of the People Act, 1951 (hereinafter referred to as 'the RP Act') and also sought for a declaration in favour of the Appellant. By order dated 16.11.2011, the High Court held that the election petition to set aside the election on the ground Under Section 123(2)(a)(ii) is not maintainable and that is not pursued before us either. Issues (1) and (2) were on maintainability and those were answered as preliminary, in favour of the Appellant. The contested issues read as follows:
1) xxx
3) Whether Annexure A was published and distributed in the constituency on 12.4.2011 as alleged in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the election petition and if so whether Palliparamban Aboobacker was an agent of the first Respondent?
4) Whether any of the statements in Annexure A publication is in relation to the personal character and conduct of the Petitioner or in relation to the candidature and if so whether its alleged publication will amount to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
6) Whether the Flex Board and posters mentioned in Annexures D, E and E1 were exhibited on 13.4.2011 as part of the election campaign of the first Respondent as alleged in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the election petition and if so whether the alleged exhibition of Annexures D, E and E1 will amount to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
7) Whether announcements mentioned in paragraph 8 of the election petition were made between 6.4.2011 and 11.4.2011, as alleged in the above paragraph, as part of the election propaganda of the first Respondent and if so whether the alleged announcements mentioned in paragraph 8 will amount to commission of corrupt practice as contemplated Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
8) Whether the songs and announcements alleged in paragraph 9 of the election petition were made on 8.4.2011 as alleged, in the above paragraph, as part of the election propaganda of the first Respondent and if so whether the publication of the alleged announcements and songs will amount to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of People Act?
9) Whether Mr. Mullan Sulaiman mentioned in paragraph 10 of the election petition did make a speech on 9.4.2011 as alleged in the above paragraph as part of the election propaganda of the first Respondent and if so whether the alleged speech of Mr. Mullan Sulaiman amounts to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
10) Whether the announcements mentioned in paragraph 11 were made on 9.4.2011, as alleged in the above paragraph, as part of the election propaganda of the first Respondent and if so whether the alleged announcements mentioned in paragraph 11 of the election petition amount to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
11) Whether the announcements mentioned in paragraph 12 of the election petition were made, as alleged in the above paragraph, as part of the election propaganda of the first Respondent and if so whether the alleged announcements mentioned in paragraph 12 of the election petition amount to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
12) Whether the alleged announcements mentioned in paragraph 13 of the election petition were made as alleged and if so whether it amounts to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act?
13) Whether the alleged announcements mentioned in paragraph 14 of the election petition were made as alleged and if so whether it amounts to commission of corrupt practice Under Section 123(4) of The Representation of the People Act.
14) Whether the election of the first Respondent is liable to be set aside for any of the grounds mentioned in the election petition?
3. By the impugned judgment dated 13.04.2012, the High Court dismissed the election petition holding that corrupt practices pleaded in the petition are not proved and, hence, the election cannot be set aside Under Section 100(1)(b) of the RP Act; and thus the Appeal.
4. Heard Shri Vivek Chib, learned Counsel appearing for the Appellant and Shri Kapil Sibal, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the first Respondent.
5. The evidence consisted of three parts - (i) electronic records, (ii) documentary evidence other than electronic records, and (iii) oral evidence. As the major thrust in the arguments was on electronic records, we shall first deal with the same.
6. Electronic record produced for the inspection of the court is documentary evidence Under Section 3 of The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (hereinafter referred to as 'Evidence Act').

Health Care Workers Need Masks (and the Rest of Us Need Them, Too)
DIY manufacturers scramble to reduce shortages, as public health officials send mixed messages about the efficacy of broader use.
Zach Weissmueller | 3.31.2020 1:31 PM
"Everyone at this point is kind of on their own, making ready for being able to reuse―especially masks―but also things like gowns and plastic sheets to be able to keep our barriers when we're doing difficult procedures with patients," says Case Newsom, an emergency medicine doctor based in Denver.
Doctors around the country are running dangerously low on N95 masks, which protocol says they should wear and then dispose of every time they walk out of an infected patient's room. So they're reusing the same masks repeatedly and learning to sew their own surgical masks.
"My colleagues on the East Coast…are facing significant shortages," says Newsom. "So they're busy at work creating UV decontamination ovens on their own because those are expensive and difficult to come by, but easy enough to produce."
The federal government estimates that medical professionals will need 3.5 billion masks if the worst-case projections come true. The U.S. currently had about 1 percent of that number on hand at the beginning of March.
Charities and major corporations have donated masks to hospitals, and manufacturers like Honeywell and 3M have stepped up production.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked President Donald Trump to use the Defense Production Act to force companies to start making masks.
And yet official channels likely won't come close to meeting the needs of health care workers, so some technologists are taking matters into their own hands. But will government officials adhere to existing regulations and slow down these efforts? And if mask production increased to serve the entire population, could it hasten the end of the extreme social distancing crippling our economy?
Matt Chisholm is a spokesperson for the Open PPE Project, which is developing a protocol for the production of N95 masks, which experts believe provide fairly reliable protection against COVID-19.
They're planning to open their own factory in Michigan and to develop a manufacturing blueprint that anyone can use.
"Some of the early challenges we've seen are [from] the regulatory state," says Chisholm.
Masks require Food and Drug Administration approval for sale to medical facilities, though the agency indicated an increased willingness to approve emergency use authorizations in late March.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), regulates filtration mask factories. According to Chisholm, an official with the agency told his team that it will take 45 to 90 days to get approval for a new mask production facility
"That obviously poses some challenges for the current crisis," says Chisholm. "You could theoretically end up with 45 to 90 days' worth of supplies that are in a warehouse instead of out on the frontline saving lives. So we see that as a problem."
Chisholm suggests accrediting universities that have the testing capabilities to certify the effectiveness of the masks.
Meanwhile, 3D-printing enthusiasts are sidestepping regulatory approval altogether by teaching people how to make their own masks.
The DIY mask approach has taken off in the Czech Republic in particular, where surgical mask sewing efforts are being coordinated over the internet by people providing instructions and tips, as well as mapping facilities and areas where masks are most needed.
"The CDC is stating that we're to be using bandanas if it comes down to it," says Newsom. "I understand that it's not a perfect solution. But, that being said, anything, I think, would be better than the sort of last resort of [healthcare workers] having to [make] their own."
And some say that ubiquitous mask-wearing could make it safer to end extreme social distancing.
But public health agencies have issued conflicting information about their efficacy.
On February 29, the Surgeon General urged the public to stop buying masks, claiming they're ineffective at stopping the transmission of COVID-19 and could even increase one's likelihood of catching it. The CDC and World Health Organization have recommended mask-wearing only for those displaying symptoms or for those who are in direct contact with infected individuals.
But critics say this is inaccurate and that public health officials may have purposely spread misinformation to discourage people from running out and buying masks, making it even harder for doctors, nurses, and first responders to obtain them.
Mask-wearing is widespread in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which seem to have better controlled COVID-19 without prolonged lockdowns. Hong Kong's public health officials have called for mask-wearing on public transit and in the workplace.
There's some evidence that masks help stop the spread of the flu.
And though strong evidence that face masks prevent respiratory infections is still "scarce" due to a lack of rigorous study, according to a March 2020 paper published in The Lancet, there is a chance that "community transmission might be reduced if everyone…wear[s] face masks."
"We should prioritize the health care workers," says Oxford researcher Elaine Feng, who co-authored the paper. "But that should not be the rationale for telling the public that face masks [are] not effective."
Feng says that with increasing evidence that people showing no symptoms of COVID-19 can transmit the virus, wider adoption of masks in public spaces would be prudent.
"In Asian countries, it's more likely to be a civic duty for people to wear a face mask," says Feng. "We think that a universal face masks policy during a pandemic could help reduce the stigmatization of people [who choose] to wear face masks, if the supply permits."
The Open PPE Project's priority is producing N95 masks for medical workers at the moment.
"I'm probably not in a place to speculate on the role masks will play beyond medical personnel [right now]," says Chisholm. "We weren't prepared for this, and we need to get back to good and make sure we can arm our frontline personnel with the equipment they need. We also have to be ready for what any pandemic in the future could good bring and manufacturing readiness could really help that."
And Newsom asks that anyone with extra N95 masks or other essential medical gear donate them to medical professionals to help adjust to this new reality.
"It's the nature of our work that we are touching patients that have respiratory problems and we really would benefit from those masks in our hands," says Newsom. "I'm literally witnessing colleagues of mine learning how to hunker down and do protective measures. I mean, but I didn't learn any of that in my residency…The fact that this is all happening [at the] point of care when the need arises goes to show the level of unpreparedness."

Moose Jaw Miller Express > In the News > Miller Express strike big early, hold on late for win over Swift Current
Miller Express strike big early, hold on late for win over Swift Current
Moose Jaw puts up eight runs in first inning, go on to 12-10 victory over 57's
When the Moose Jaw Miller Express were struggling through their seven-game losing skid last week, the potent offence that had been their hallmark all season was nowhere to be found.
All that has returned with a vengeance since then.
The Miller Express put up eight runs in the first inning and would crank out three home runs on their way to a 12-10 victory over the Swift Current 57's in game one of a doubleheader in Swift Current on Saturday.
By the time the first inning was over, every player except for one would have a base hit and a run to their credit, with the biggest of all coming off the bat of newcomer Joe Osborn — a three-run home run that staked Moose Jaw to their 8-2 lead after the first inning.
As it turns out, they'd need all that offence and more.
After Nate Mensik hit a two-run home run in the third inning and Hudson Barrett added a solo shot in the fourth, the Express had an 11-5 lead, but Swift Current would get their bats going the next inning.
Andrew Barger got the start for Moose Jaw and allowed five runs, three earned, on five hits and four walks over the first four innings. Cam O'Reilly took over in the fifth and couldn't get an out, allowing four runs on five hits before giving way to Reece Helland, who closed out the inning.
And just like that, Swift Current was back within a pair.
Helland gave up a run in his second inning of work to make for some late-game dramatics, but Mensik would score an insurance run when Osborn was hit by a pitch with bases loaded in the top of the seventh, and WCBL all-star Kellen Voggesser would pitch a flawless bottom of the inning to secure the win.
The contest was only seven innings due to the doubleheader.
Mensik had himself a day at the plate, going 4-for-5 with three runs and three RBI, while Barrett was 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. WCBL all-star Zach Campbell was 3-for-5 with two runs, Parker Dorrance 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Moose Jaw carried a 23-15 record into the night game, good enough for their third-straight win and a 1 ½ game lead over the Regina Red Sox for first place in the WCBL.
They're in action in Weyburn against the Beavers on Sunday afternoon.

Joseph Joestar Quotes
I bought tequila. Will you boys let me by?
I can't be held responsible if my eyes wander just near the keyhole, right?
Leave me alone! Go away! I didn't attack them for your sake! I want to be a true gentleman! You were a Damsel in Distress; a true gentleman needs to be brave enough to go into a fight he knows he'll lose. But one day… I'll be strong enough to win…
Shoot me if you want to! But you had better be prepared to face the consequences. The moment you try to pull that trigger, I'll snap your fingers in half like matchsticks
I've got nothing better to do if I'm going to be waiting around for 30 minutes. The best location to wait is immediately outside Lisa Lisa's front door. And if my gaze occurs to be drawn to the keyhole… Niiiiiice
"You're absolutely correct! Everything went off without a hitch… Right from the start! (I just got lucky, but Kars is going to think I outsmarted him.)
Like a fine wine, I guess I just get better with age
A trademark moves or power is commonly used to identify Shonen heroes. This ability is grown and built upon, but it is the cornerstone of the protagonist's powers, as well as an important means for them to express themselves as a warrior or main character. Joseph, on the other hand, has had two such abilities. Joseph is a great Hamon user in Battle Tendency, and his might even allows him to defeat Ultimate Lifeform Kars. Later in Stardust Crusaders, he abandons Hamon in favor of the Stand (which is said to come from Hamon). Despite the fact that his Stand isn't the strongest, he makes clever and creative use of it. Hope you enjoyed these Joseph Joestar Quotes.
