Egypt: Hollande Calls for Respect of Human Rights in Anti-Terror Fight
Visiting President Francois Hollande of France urged his Egyptian peer to respect human rights even though the country is being riddled with terrorist attacks.
Prior to his visit, rights groups lashed out at Hollande for his silence over the poor human rights record in Egypt which has tightened its control over rights groups and massacres basic human rights in its "fight against terrorism."
At a joint news conference Sunday, dominated by questions on human rights abuses, President al-Sisi explained that his government was facing a tumultuous security situation requiring an urgent response.
"The region we live in is very turbulent," he told his French guest.
President Hollande responded that respecting human rights was not an obstacle to the struggle against terrorism but it rather helps fight it.
"Human rights are not a constraint but also a way to fight terrorism," Holland said.
Al-Sisi's regime is also accused of the death in February of Italian PhD student Giulio Regeni whose body was covered with torture marks. Regeni's death dealt a blow to ties between Egypt and Italy after Rome accused Cairo for failing to cooperate in the investigations to uncover the root cause of Regeni's death. Rome this month recalled its envoy to Cairo to protest against Egyptian authorities' lack of cooperation.
Asked about Regeni's death, Sisi dismissed claims that the Italian student was killed by Egyptian security forces. Egypt was victim of the works of evil forces trying to bring down the state and its institutions, he said.
Regeni was last seen on January 25, marking the fifth anniversary of the Egyptian revolution. Egyptian authorities had then ramped up security level in the capital in a bid to prevent demonstrations called by political groups and activists to ouster al-Sisi.
Hollande's two-day visit was marked by the signing of several economic and military agreements, including a $1.4 billion deal to cover the expansion of the metro line in Cairo. Arm deals worth $1.0 Billion are also in the pipeline after months of negotiations.
Egypt has turned to France and Russia to beef up its military capability, after Washington became warry of human rights abuses and scaled down its military cooperation in the wake of 2013 military coup.
Egypt has already bought French Rafale warplanes and two Mistral helicopter carrier ships.

A Chinese expert said an Indian official is merely trying to boost his country`s pride when he said China has been culturally controlled by India.
The statement was made by India`s home minister Rajnath Singh at a nationwide tourism festival on Monday, according to the country`s news agency PTI.
Singh quoted Chinese scholar Hu Shi (1891-1962), saying Hu "wrote that India culturally controlled and dominated China for more than 2,000 years without sending a single soldier. That is the effect of India."
"If China has been controlled culturally by any country, it is India and this fact was accepted by Hu Shi," Singh said.
However, Zhang Yiwu, a professor of culture at Peking University, disagrees.
By saying India`s impact on Chinese culture, Hu was simply referring to the spread of Buddhism during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 - 220 AD), which was embraced by the Chinese, Zhang said.
Zhang added Buddhism has little to do with contemporary India, whose mainstream religion is Hinduism.
"Singh is merely trying to boost national pride," Zhang noted.

!The Experimental Troupe!
what is a TROUPE?!
firstly if you say the word TROUPE it kind of sounds similar to the word group but don't be mistaken because a troupe is more than just any group. by definition a TROUPE is: 'a company, band, or group of singers, actors, or other performers, especially one that travels as a member of a theatrical company or barnstorm.'
now the very word TROUPE in etymology is related to the word troop. although they may sound the same, don't be fooled, they are different in meaning. a troop is: 'an armored cavalry or cavalry unit consisting of two or more platoons and a headquarters group', 'a body of soldiers, police, etc.'. so we see here that a troop is more of a militant oriented group whereas a TROUPE is more of a artistically oriented group. where the troop engages in warfare the TROUPE engages in joyfare! although both groups engage in battle it is in different forms and with different results. those who live by the sword will die by the sword. the aim of warfare is to destroy and to plunder, that is to take. the aim of joyfare is to give life and make more abundant, that is to give. instead of the loss of lives you have the enriching of lives.
according to the art of war the best battles are won without fighting. the ultimate aim of political work is that through campaigning, giving speeches, signing papers, making agreements and etc you can come to a general consensus with all opposing parties without the use of war; meaning that you can get what you want without using force. every politician who runs for president orchestrates what we call a 'barnstorm' which is by definition: 'to conduct a campaign or speaking tour in rural areas by making brief stops in many small towns.' through touring the politician goes around and seeks to conquer land so to speak like a army does with a general. at each tour stop battles are either won or lost by the number of votes. by this procedure the politician grows in momentum. the more votes the politician gets the more powerful he becomes because not only does he have the alliance of those people's votes but the social proof of society also, with that being the bigger he is in their eyes. the more powerful a politician becomes the more influential he is. the same thing goes for singers, comedians, directors, painters, writers, performers, etc.
all of these professions carry a different light or color of energy that influences the world. according to einstein energy is mass in motion. the world was created from a sudden burst or release of energy. this colossal surge of energy created what we know as planets and stars: our physical universe. everything that was made is composed of particles that vibrate. everything that vibrates creates sound. all sound carries a frequency. we hear by frequencies. we see by frequencies. our world is experienced through frequencies. depending on the rate of frequency you have a variation of sound or color. the greater the frequency the greater the effect (or experience). the greater the energy the greater the mass (or influence). if the world was created through energy then we can recreate another world (a different one) through the frequency colors (art) and vibration sounds (music) of a energetic force (mind) which would cause movement (dance) and henceforth the appearance of mass or reality (a language or code unfolded). the world has been colonized by different cultures, beliefs, religions, rulers, etc. they all changed the way we experience and live in this world. so to speak they recreated the world. through the colonizations came renaissances (arts) and movements (dances) which brought inventions and improvements to society all originating within the mind of man. herein we see the future of the world within us. the universe lives within man. it is not a external thing but a internal reality. time is a illusion. the past, present, and future is always now. we create our own world first independently and then collectively. if we always believed that man could fly or walk on water then that would be possible. the laws of the universe only govern the way we experience the world. they can be changed because the world is simply mental. thought is energy and is of the same fabric as the sound vibrations that make up our universe. the thought energy that we transmit can recreate our world entirely as much as it can recreate us biologically. we are the way we are because of how we think. the way we think effects the way we act. if we start thinking differently we will start doing things differently.
now that was just a introduction. onto the crux of the matter: the choice of this title "the experimental troupe' has been craftily coined being that this artistic movement will ultimately envelope all forms of professions. for example originally science, medicine and astrology once came from magic, witchcraft and hidden wisdom. geography, architecture, surgical procedures, etc is a art form. in fact all science is an art. science is the explanation of every art that beforehand had no definition to it. music and dance is the outward display of cultural experience and life expression (meaning that music tells the story of our lives and dance visually expresses it) which at its heart is sociology and psychology. art is a visual demonstration of a unseen world which is something spiritual and ethereal. guillermo del toro describes movies as a spiritual experience. video media brings you into another reality you could not experience on your own. all animations, films, comics, books, etc brings you into the inner imaginations of peoples unseen worlds.
einsteins theory of everything 'fully explains and links together all known physical phenomena'. many scientists and theoretical physicists have tried to explain it in equation form which, mind you, is a language that most of the world can't read and will never know. a lot of quantum equations and scientific ideas came about through pictorial references. nikola tesla received many of his inventions from images flashes across his mind or in other words 'visions' and dreams. math can be explained in forms. a lot of geometry is seen as art. sculptors and painters create their own scientific equations through geometric shapes. they in a sense are explaining theories pictorially. all that have eyes to see will see. where the universal theory is abundant in words to describe it is lacking in visual demonstration. as a way of interpreting this universal theory we as a TROUPE can experimentally explain it to the world in artistic form (a language that can be understood by all). if art overlaps science and science overlaps art then the theory of everything has to lie somewhere in between. there cannot be a separation between 'church and state' so to speak or science and religion rather. we have to merge the two seemingly opposing worlds into a cohesive system to attain this theory of everything or universal solution.
the science behind the art of the TROUPE:
its a GYPSY TRAVELING BAND
its a CIRCUS of different artistic talents
its a CLUB of like minded people
its a STUDIO for creating music, art, choreography, photography, illustrations, short stories, films, books, literature, etc.
its a CHURCH as a refuge or umbrella to house and gather wandering souls
its a IMPROV experimental class
its a MIND invigorating discussion
its a LAB of birthing new ideas
its NONVIOLENT ACTIVISM and PROTEST in aesthetic subtle form
its a HUB of energy
all of this is of experimental nature, avant garage in approach, a fusion of inspirations; a scientific project so to speak to create a totally new and never before seen form of expression.
herein we shall fight not with flesh and blood but with principalities, and powers and wicked rulers in high places that enslave us and rule over our lives. our weapons of warefare are instruments of song and dance, of comedy and magic, of poetry in motion, of art explosions, of music sonic blasts, of clarion trumpet calls of declarations!

"The Nu Wardrobe is an online clothes-sharing platform with the aim to provide users with a constantly changing wardrobe that's convenient and inexpensive.
How does The Nu Wardrobe work?
1. Browse The Nu Wardrobe and check out all the latest looks that you can borrow from other Nu members in your college or area. You can search by campus, date, size, colour, and style.
2. Sign up to The Nu Wardrobe and create your profile.
3. Upload your wardrobe following the Nu image guidelines and sample photos.
4. Choose items that you like and request to book them out for a certain date. (There are no permanent swaps. Items are borrowed for a limited amount of time then returned).
5. If the lender accepts your request a collection is arranged.
6. Enjoy your fab new outfit!
7. Return the item to the wonderful lender in perfect condition.
Want to know more? Eg. What happens if a piece is damaged? What kind of photos should I put up? Check out our FAQs.
Why was The Nu Wardrobe set up?
We have always wanted to move the behaviour of clothes sharing online. We found that so many people like us have wardrobes for to the brim of items that they love but rarely wear.
Many people share with their friends already, but sometimes this can take a lot of time rooting through wardrobes and trying to find the right sizes.
With Nu you become part of a network of peers who you can borrow clothes from like a friend.
This will make it simple and easy for everyone to access fashion no matter what their budget and to do this in a sustainable way.
Not only will we save money but for each item borrowed we save on average 7,100 litres of water and 11lbs of C02 that would have been used in the production of a new garment. Who knew saving the planet could be so fashionable!
We ran our first trial of the online sharing wardrobe in Trinity College Dublin in March/April 2017. In the lead up to the annual Trinity Ball we asked students to send us in photos of their ball dresses, put them on one platform, and other students requested to borrow the pieces. It was a huge success! In 3 weeks there were 320 sign ups, 60 pieces borrowed and 59 pieces uploaded by students. We've now spent the Summer working on an improved platform and will begin testing this in 9 colleges from September 2017.
We are now in the process of further developing the platform to expand to several more colleges in September 2017. After more trialling has been done we'll be releasing the platform to the general public.
The Nu Wardrobe is launching in colleges across Ireland this September! Click the image above to be taken another wonderful page of the internet where you can get involved!

Q: Will Oracle SQL Developer version 19.2 and Oracle APEX version 4.2 support each other when making changes to application? My query in SQL Developer is executing fine, but when I implement in APEX, the application won't even run. So just wondering if Developer version and APEX version are compatible.

A: There is no relationship between SQL Developer and your APEX application, at least as far as the scenario you're describing.
It would help to show your query, show your application not running, i.e. error messages encountered when running the query.
If you wanted, you could test the query in the APEX SQL Workshop.
SQL Developer runs its queries through a jdbc driver as a client application. APEX SQL runs inside the database via stored procedures.

A: Based on a comment you posted: what you executed in Apex' SQL Workshop is an anonymous PL/SQL block.
By the way, what is a? You never declared it.
How to transform it to a function? For example:
create or replace function f_test (a number)
  return varchar2 is
begin
  return case when a < 10 or a > 57 then 'Value is not in valid range'
              else null
         end;
end;
/

Call it as e.g. (in function's body)
return f_test(:P1_DEPTNO);

Aha, yet another comment: that is supposed to be a validation. Its type should be "PL/SQL function returning error text":
  return case when :P1_DEPTNO < 10 or :P1_DEPTNO > 57
                   then 'Value is not in valid range'
              else null
         end;

It feels like the train is finally moving out of the station headed toward more speaking opportunities for our son Gabe. With that I've been focused on helping him book the speaking engagements and creating marketing materials. It is an exciting time to watch God move in our lives.
But the reality of it means my writing time has moved down on the priority list. So I'm taking ten days next week to get that train moving too.
I'm headed to the Jerry B. Jenkin's Christian Writer's Guild Conference – Write for the Soul in Denver. Then I get to spend some time at my sister's house in Montana.
Waiting to figure out your priorities? – haven't bought your train ticket yet?
Waiting for God to make a move? – Sitting at the station waiting for the train?
On the train and pulling out? – Good for you, you are moving forward.
Traveling down the path God created for you? – I'm so excited for you and can't wait until I'm there.
Changing trains? – I pray God will show you the next station on your journey.
I think I can….I think I can….I think I can…. is the montra I've been repeating as I face the completion of these two books I've been working on for all too long.
God keeps whispering new ideas in my ear. While I listen closely, I'm working on some other things in my life too.
God bless your journey on whatever track God has you riding.

I bought this five days ago and it still looks and smells fresh like day 1! My three cats Luna, Gojiley and Xunaa thank you, Arm & Hammer for a litter well done!
We travel with our 5 cats in an RV. Since there is not enough room for more than one litter box, I tried the Multi-Cat Extra Strength litter and love it! I put the box in the shower, clean it at least once a day, and there is no odor in our small bathroom. With the clumping, I have very little scraping to do. And, if necessary, I place a little extra litter on the problem area, wait about a minute, and it clumps easily and makes it easy to finish cleaning the box. I highly recommend this product!
Just bought this, this works like all cat litters should, you have a fur-ever customer!

Crown Casino Aims To Sue Ex High-Roller Client Re $50m Debt, by Greg Tingle - 18th June 2010
Australian casinos do not like clients and former clients who owe them money. Punters er readers might remember a Mr Harry Kakavas aka 'King Of Hedges Avenue', who won big at Crown Casino, and lost bigger. Media Man and Gambling911 play Pink Panther and bring its responsible readership this special report...
Crown Casino plans to bankrupt ex casino high-roller Harry Kakavas, who failed to score victory in court last year. Kakavas, a self-proclaimed pathological gambler, was due to be issued with a bankruptcy notice late last month, after an application by Crown to the Federal Magistrates Court.
High Rollin' Harry was or is a real estate developer by trade, some insiders say "A poor man's Donald Trump", still quite an accomplishment.
At one point 'The King' was one of the world's most successful (or high profile) gamblers in the world, known well to casino tycoon's such as the late, great, Kerry Packer. KP is understood to have one made certain that Crown Casino powers that be, including son James, knew "our friend" Harry.
Mr Kakavas last year was unsuccessful in his bid to sue crown for his alleged losses of a whale whopping $35 million smack a roos.
The recent action comes after a Victorian court dismissed (ruled out) Mr K's multi-million-dollar court action and upheld the casino's $1m counter-claim for the repayment of funds advanced during his patronage to the 'World Of Entertainment', wear Harry appeared to 'Wear The Crown', before he lost it and more.
Mr Kakavas, 43, is appealing against the counter-claim decision.
In a recent appearance before the Supreme Court of Victoria's Court of Appeal, Mr Kakavas's legal counsel advised that his client (Mr K) did not in fact have the funds to meet the judgement debt and would be bankrupt in the absence of a successful appeal. You know, the cliche "loosing the shirt off his back".
His personal debts exceeded $50 million, which may be some kind of record if tested by Guinness (not the beer), with cash, cheques et al owed to multiple casinos and hotels worldwide, along with a swag of ex biz partners, family, friendlies, the Australian Taxation Office... the whole box and dice.
His once ultra successful company, Elite Property Investment Group, is in the grasp of a court-appointed liquidator, thanks to an application by the tax office, while a another casino owner, the Paradise Enterprises, the Bahamas connection, is also attempting to have Mr Kakavas close up shop.
Mr Kakavas hasn't been terrible easy to contact as of late. Speaking appearances are understood to mainly occur in or around court room premises. Mr K could not be contacted earlier this week when press came a calling. His solicitor from last year's Crown Limited, Andrew Joseph of firm Strongman & Crouch, advised Rupert Murdoch owned News Limited he was not representing him on the bankruptcy matter.
An application for get this mouthful "substituted service of bankruptcy notice" doesn't sound pretty), which is generally sought in cases where there are issues in serving a debtor personally, claims that bankruptcy documents were to be sent to Mr Kakavas, care of Mr Joseph's office, on 28th May. Both bankruptcy applications have yet to be "determined" (looked over, ruled on etc) by the court.
Mr Kakavas, was one of Australia's original high-rolling patrons, who also rated considerable on the worldwide unofficial whale ratings weigh in.
"He was the highest of this country's high rollers. And he spread his wings. His gambling took him from the Gold Coast not only to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, but also to Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Macau and the Bahamas," spoke judge David Harper in his December 8 decision.
"Over a 16-month period he turned over $1.479 billion in Melbourne alone. He enjoyed some spectacular wins. In the end, however, he lost all he won, and more."
Problem Gambler Or Not? We Think We Know...
The Melbourne-born entrepreneur moved to Australia's Gold Coast in 2001 and cemented a name for himself buying and selling property on the ultra exclusive Hedges Avenue patch.
What not everyone knew was that he was also a "problem gambler" of whale like proportions who was self-excluded from many of the worlds casinos, including Packer's Crown in Melbourne, at various times. Circa 1995 saw Harry done for fraud... understood to be linked for his passion for baccarat, also a favorite for James Bond 007 (who has his '56 Aston Martin DB coming up for auction in Red October). Unlike most Bond flicks, Harry's casino dealings don't look to have a happy ending, but will he 'Die Another Day' or one day return to his former kingship ala 'Casino Royale', with or without cheese? ... and wine.
Mr Kakavas had claimed that Crown powers that be were aware of his gambling "disability" (or passion?) and had acted "unconscionably" in luring him ala "hook, line and sinker" (our words, not Harry's) to gamble. That's of course part of Harry's side of the story.
Justice Harper found that while Crown did seek to attract him as a customer... offering him use of its corporate jet at the time (Crown now has 2 or 3 we understand), and hosting him including during the Australian Open Tennis circa 2005, it did not in face exploit his "disability".
We ponder how "disability" played so heavily into the way the cards and diced turned sour for Harry. With thanks to our un met friend (thus far) Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia...
The World Health Organization defines Disability as follows: "Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person's body and features of the society in which he or she lives."
An individual may also qualify as disabled if he/she has had an impairment in the past or is seen as disabled based on a personal or group standard or norm. Such impairments may include physical, sensory, and cognitive or developmental disabilities. Mental disorders (also known as psychiatric or psychosocial disability) and various types of chronic disease may also be considered qualifying disabilities.
A disability may occur during a person's lifetime or may be present from birth. A physical impairment is any disability which limits the physical function of limbs or fine or gross motor ability.
Crown Casino is said to be feeling "very able bodied, profitable and confident", according to a fly on the wall at Media Man's Australian office. Chinese whispers from MM's Macau pad are buzzing of the same message.
A Crown Casino spokesman declined to comment as the Harry K VS Crown Limited matter was still before the court.

tl;dr: Exploratory data analysis (EDA) the very first step in a data project. We will create a code-template to achieve this with one function.
EDA consists of univariate (1-variable) and bivariate (2-variables) analysis.
In this post we will review some functions that lead us to the analysis of the first case.
Distributions (numerically and graphically) for both, numerical and categorical variables.
They can be two: informative or operative.
Informative – For example plots, or any long variable summary. We cannot filter data from it, but give us a lot of information at once. Most used on the EDA stage.
Operative – The results can be used to take an action directly on the data workflow (for example, selecting any variables whose percentage of missing values are below 20%). Most used in the Data Preparation stage.
Using the heart_disease data (from funModeling package). We will take only 4 variables for legibility.
Number of observations (rows) and variables, and a head of the first cases.
Are all the variables in the correct data type?
Variables with lots of zeros or NAs?
##  "Variables processed: thal, has_heart_disease"
If freq receives one variable –freq(data$variable)– it retruns a table. Useful to treat high cardinality variables (like zip code).
Does all the categories make sense?
Pay attention to variables with high standard deviation.
Select the metrics that you are most familiar with: data_prof %>% select(variable, variation_coef, range_98): A high value in variation_coef may indictate outliers. range_98 indicates where most of the values are.
Really useful to have a quick picture for all the variables. But is not as operative as freq and profiling_num when we want to use its results to change our data workflow.

This page presents an overview of Canadian Solar Thermal market activity from 2000 to 2011, a forecast to 2025.
The Canadian market for Solar Thermal grew at an average annual rate of 16% with each year displaying growth consecutively.
The total cumulative installed capacity of operating Solar Thermal systems increased two-fold from 247 MW at the beginning of 2000 to 513 MW at the end of 2007 (228,000 to 544,000 m2).
Solar Thermal liquid collectors were almost a constant 70% of total annual market activity by collector area with Solar Thermal air collectors representing 30%.
Within the liquid collector category, unglazed collectors annually represented an average of 96% between 2000 and 2004 and 13% between 2005 and 2007 (by MW) with glazed collectors comprising the remainder.
In 2007, Canada first community heated by solar thermal energy begun operation in Okotoks, Alberta. Drake Landing Solar Community consists of 52 homes heated by 800 liquid solar collectors with borehole thermal storage to conserve solar energy for use in Winter.
Average market activity grew annually by an estimated 40 – 50% by collector area.
Market activity for Solar Thermal Air surged from an average of over 30 MW per year between 2000 to 2007 to an estimated 120 MW per year between 2008 to 2011 comprising almost 50% of the market in 2010 and potentially surpassing liquid in 2011.
In 2010, Canada surpassed 1,000,000 m2 of cumulative Solar Thermal systems in operation.
By the end of 2011, Canada will have surpassed 1 GW (1,000 MW in operation).
Between 2000 and 2011, the Canadian Solar Thermal market expanded significantly largely spurred by incentives designed to develop industry capacity and achieve Greenhouse Gas emission reductions. In that decade, the Canadian Solar Thermal industry has excelled and today Canadian Solar Thermal products and companies compete globally.
500,000 m2 per year up to 2020.
700,000 m2 per year up to 2025.
The transition from incentive programs present up to 2011 to new policy mechanisms under consideration and development will largely define the period to 2015.
As industry momentum is re-focused toward this period and as technological advancements and new applications for Solar Thermal technology reach maturation (including space heating and cooling and industrial processes), it is expected that Solar Thermal technology will continue to attain a growing share of Canada's heating and cooling technology market until the point that it is a mainstream choice for residential, commercial and industrial consumers.
Each year since 2003, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) have released a report outlining a survey of the status and development of the Canadian Solar Thermal Market and Industry. These reports are prepared with funding provided by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).

Scientist Makes A Medical Breakthrough By Finding A Potential Cure For Multiple Sclerosis
Awareness / By MetDaan Editorial Team
It is estimated that more than two million people are affected by the dilapidating disease multiple sclerosis, also known as MS. Multiple sclerosis affects the brain's and spinal cord's nerve cells. Symptoms of the condition often include double vision, blindness, psychological issues, or muscle issues. There are also cases when MS is fatal and life expectancy is shorter. There is medication available to alleviate symptoms, however, there's no cure for the disease, at least until now. Anyhow, a UK scientist has made a major medical breakthrough in finding a cure for the disease.
Dr. Su Metcalfe, from Cambridge based company LIFNano Therapeutics, has found a way to halt the attack on the nerve cells. Speaking to the Cambridge News, she said:
Some people get progressive MS, so go straight to the severe form of the disease, but the majority have a relapsing or remitting version.
She explained:
It can start from the age of 30, and there's no cure, so all you can do is suppress the immune response, but the drugs that do that have side effects, and you can't repair the brain.
The cost of those drugs is very high, and in the UK there are a lot of people who don't get treated at all.
Talking about her breakthrough discovery, she said:
I was looking to see what controls the immune response and stops it auto-attacking us. I discovered a small binary switch, controlled by a LIF, which regulates inside the immune cell itself. LIF is able to control the cell to ensure it doesn't attack your own body but then releases the attack when needed.
She went on to say:
That LIF, in addition to regulating and protecting us against attack, also plays a major role in keeping the brain and spinal cord healthy. In fact it plays a major role in tissue repair generally, turning on stem cells that are naturally occurring in the body, making it a natural regenerative medicine, but also plays a big part in repairing the brain when it's been damaged.
Dr. Su also added:
So I thought, this is fantastic. We can treat auto-immune disease, and we've got something to treat MS, which attacks both the brain and the spinal cord. So you have a double whammy that can stop and reverse the auto-immunity, and also repair the damage caused in the brain.
The very talented doctor who is also working on finding cures about Psoriasis and diabetes hopes that there will be enough funding for her and her team to find a potential cure for MS by 2020.

Q: multiple plots in R (using par(new=T/F)) I am trying to draw multiple plots in the same graph in R (Rstudio, mac), using:
plot(
  X,
  Y1,
  pch = 0,
  ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  col = "red"
)
par(new = T)
plot(
  X,
  Y2,
  pch = 1,
  ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  col = "blue"
)
par(new = F)

plot(
  X,
  Y3,
  pch = 2,
  ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  col = "green"
)
par(new = F)

However, it draws only the third plot.
what am I missing?

A: points
I think it is best to use points for the last two instead of plot.
min_v <- min(Y1, Y2, Y3)
max_v <- max(Y1, Y2, Y3)
xr <- range(X)

plot(X, Y1, pch = 21, ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  xlim = xr, bg = "red", ,
  ylab = expression(paste(Y[i],', i = {1, 2, 3}')), xlab ="X")
points(X, Y2, pch = 22, bg = "blue")
points(X, Y3, pch = 23, bg = "green")

plot
If the OP really wants to use the plot functions, then the following could be useful. (The main error OP made is using the second new=F, but there will be other problems as well since the y-axis labels being on top of each other etc.)
plot(
  X, Y1, pch = 21, ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  xlim = xr,
  bg = "red",
  ylab = "", xlab ="",
)
par(new = T)
plot(
  X, Y2, pch = 22, ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  xlim = xr,
  bg = "blue",
  ylab = "", xlab ="",
)

par(new = T)
plot(
  X, Y3, pch = 23, ylim = c(min_v, max_v),
  xlim = xr,
  bg = "green",
  ylab = expression(paste(Y[i],', i = {1, 2, 3}')),
  xlab ="X",
)
par(new = F)

ggplot2
While I'm at it, here's ggplot2 version of it too.
library(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame(X=X, Y1=Y1, Y2=Y2, Y3=Y3)
p1 <- ggplot(df, aes(x = X, y=Y1)) + geom_point(color = "red")
p1 <- p1 + geom_point(color = "blue", aes(y=Y2))
p1 <- p1 + geom_point(color = "black", aes(y=Y3))
p1 + xlab("X") + ylab("Y")
p1

Data used:
set.seed(1984)
X <- rnorm(10)
Y1 <- rnorm(10)
Y2 <- rnorm(10)
Y3 <- rnorm(10)

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said that the federal government will continue to play its role to achieve the main innovation goals in Nigeria.
Osinbajo made this known in his speech at the closing ceremony of the Innovation Fellowship for Aspiring Inventors and Researchers (i-FAIR) program on Thursday in Abuja.
Osinbajo was represented by Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of Science and Technology.
"For too long we have let our economy depend on oil-induced conditions and we have seen that this is not good for our economy.
"Our nation is a great nation, we can do a lot better than what we do, we have abundant natural resources and some of the smartest people in the world.
"This is recognized everywhere, so there is no reason why our economy is not based on knowledge-driven innovation," he said.
The vice president revealed that since the opening of the i-FAIR Center in December 2020 and the admission of its scholarship recipients, the federal government has always supported it.
He noted that many start-ups have been accompanied by investments, urging all Nigerians to support the ongoing innovation dynamic to achieve the goals.
Osinbajo said, "We want all Nigerians to know that if you have a dream, the government will support you.
"To become a reality and such ideas will be turned into a useful product or service to meet our needs as a nation to create more jobs.
"We have the largest population in Africa and the largest market concentration in the world, if China, with a population of around 1.4 billion, can provide jobs for its citizens, we should do it. . "
The Nigerian News Agency (NAN) reports that the I-FAIR program, which started from December 1, 2020, to April 2021, focused on online training.
Participants developed prototypes and business plans while learning about intellectual property protection, marketing options, communication, and presentation to potential investors, in i-FAIR innovation labs and workshops.
The culmination of the ceremony was the presentation of the certificate to 21 graduates of the scholarship program.

The BCFFPA Constitution and Bylaws consist of Articles describing who the Federation is and the guiding Bylaws. This document can be changed by a membership vote at an Annual General Meeting. Proposed changes are submitted through Special Resolution prior to each Annual General Meeting.
BCFFPA Constitution and Bylaws 2015
BCFFPA has 2 Codes of Ethics. The first is a general Code that our members agree to. The second is the Code of Ethics that governs our Board of Directors. (See the bottom of the page for links to these documents.)
The BCFFPA Code of Ethics, Practice Standards and Peer Review Guidelines document was first adopted by the membership at the 1996 AGM after 11 years of development. This was reviewed, revised and updated in 2012.
The general BCFFPA Code of Ethics is a living document that has developed over time to bring greater clarity, greater integration between the ethical statements and practice standards, and to ensure that the Code addresses all aspects of relationships caregivers find themselves in.
What is a Code of Ethics?
Ethics, simply put, means to do the right thing. We do the right thing when we take a course of action that mitigates or minimises the degree of harm or potential harm to individuals or groups.
Code of Ethics is an expression of the values of an occupational group, and the principles that guide members' actions.
Values are what we consider to be important.
Ethical statements are general statements of principle that members agree to uphold.
Practice standards provide specific guidelines for actions that follow from the ethical statement.
An ethical dilemma arises in a situation that brings two ethical statements into conflict with each other. Judgement is often required to decide what course of action is most ethical in relation to the principles.
What is the Purpose of a Code of Ethics?
A Code of Ethics serves the following purposes:
Ethical statements and practice standards provide guidelines that assist us in deciding what actions to take from an ethical viewpoint.
A Code of Ethics is the expression of values and principles of a particular occupational group for its members and the general public. It is an important element in the identity of a group.
A Code of Ethics permits the self-regulation of an occupational group by providing a basis for developing practice standards and eventually, for reviewing the actions of its members.
A Code of Ethics has educational value in assisting members to develop their judgement in weighing alternative courses of action in difficult situations.
How do the Code of Ethics and Practice Standards Affect Members of the BCFFPA?
When members sign their membership applications, they indicate acceptance of the BCFFPA Code of Ethics and Practice Standards.
A process for peer review is the next stage of development. Peer review is a complex function through which an occupational group maintains accountability to the public by applying standards to its own members. The goals of peer review are self-regulation by an occupational group; the maintenance of standards and accountability; and discipline with a view to educating the individual members and the membership at large.
In the meantime, it will be important to assist members to become familiar with the Code of Ethics and Practice Standards and how they apply to fostering day-to-day.

Despite a full-time job as an executive video producer, I actively campaigned to work for upworthy.com as a social media curator. The reason? I wanted to understand the magic of helping a video go "viral." Before being hired, Upworthy played a part in helping a few of my personal and government videos go viral with their social media framing. In conversations with their curators, I began to understand that helping videos go viral involves a lot of luck, creativity and data-driven decisions.

Sue Pringle is the Founder of millie lingerie. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40, undergoing a mastectomy and reconstruction after two inconclusive lumpectomies, and a further lumpectomy 10 years later, following a recurrence on the same side.
Sue, like thousands of other women, soon realised how difficult it was to find a bra [any bra] after her last surgery, because she needed to wear a breast prosthesis, and experienced permanently sensitive scar tissue. Sue just wasn't satisfied with her choices, and decided to turn her grump into a business.
Sue is a mother of two wonderful girls, now fully grown. She's had long, successful career in product development and marketing, with retailers including Clarks, Boots and Interflora. She led the team that launched luxury cosmetics and fragrance at Boots.com, where her boss once asked: "If you can get this passionate about a lipstick Sue, imagine what you could achieve if you really gave a damn?" She does.


Are you a hip-hop artist, producer, entrepreneur or fan who wants to make money in the rap industry? They prefer to work with school and public radio stations which can be usually extra receptive to music that is not mainstream and conformist. To listen to him at his greatest, it's best to listen to "Kid Thomas Valentine Creole Jazz Band on American Music AMCD 49 and "Child Thomas and his Algiers Stompers" on Riverside OJCCD 1833-2.
Playing nation music, especially like those of John Denver's songs, before having a day nap or before going to sleep at night time can really calm down your thoughts to a fantastic extent, letting you may have a deep and uninterrupted sleep, about which you will actually really feel great after waking up and go about the rest of the day with renewed vitality and vigor.
My wife enjoys listening to Martha Stewart Radio, my children love the Disney programming, and on the uncommon occasion that I get my hands on my Sirius transportable satellite radio at home I get the news and speak radio that simply will not be obtainable on the FM or AM dial.
Some radio channels have a news break where they inform you the headlines and the day's happenings. Begin the ball rolling with this loud mid-tempo funk song, which sounds very akin to "Nearer" (Trent even inserts verses from "Nearer" when he performs "All Time Low" reside).
Faculty music applications would of course be non-existent, as would school choirs and orchestras and bands. Giant labels have the option of not releasing any music an artist has recorded, and all of the while the artist stays bound to them by contract and might't sign up with every other label.

MILAN (AP) — World stocks started the week solidly amid hopes that the recent sharp volatility in the markets may have run its course following a run of stronger than anticipated economic data.
Though concerns remain over the state of the global economy and Europe's debt crisis, many investors think the recent sell-off has been overdone and are snapping up potential bargains.
"Some stability appears to be returning to markets …. but businesses remain wary that the U.S. government isn't doing enough to arrest its massive budget deficit and that European governments aren't doing enough to avert financial contagion from infecting the banking system," said Sal Guatieri, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
The calmer mood has been helped by last Friday's better than expected U.S. retail sales figures for July and news earlier that Japan contracted by an annualized rate of 1.3 percent in the second quarter of the year after the impact of a devastating earthquake and tsunami. The consensus in the markets was that Japan's economy would have shrunk by at least double that rate.
In Europe, London's FTSE 100 was up 0.3 percent at 5,336, while Germany's DAX rose 0.6 percent to 6,036. The CAC-40 in France was 0.4 percent higher at 3,227.
Wall Street was poised for further gains – Dow futures were up 0.3 percent at 11,280 while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 futures rose a similar rate to 1,180.
Figures showing a further easing in manufacturing activity around the New York region failed to excite investors too much.
Europe's debt crisis will also be in the spotlight this week, particularly on Tuesday when French leader Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel meet, and second-quarter eurozone growth figures are published.
"The Franco-German summit on Tuesday in Paris will be a major focus for financial markets this week, especially coming so shortly after what has been a very tumultuous week for France in financial markets," said Jan Dubsky, euro area economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Of particular interest will be what the two leaders say about the viability of a eurobond as a potential solution to Europe's debt crisis, which has already seen three eurozone countries get bailed out. With a eurobond, the 17 countries that use the euro would jointly issue debt.
One of the reasons why Europe's debt crisis has flared up again is that the markets started fretting about the state of the public finances of Italy and Spain.
That prompted the European Central Bank a week ago to start intervening directly in the markets to support their bond prices. Figures later Monday will show how much the ECB splashed out in this bond-buying program, which has worked in getting both countries' borrowing costs down to manageable levels.
In return for directly buying Italian bonds, the ECB wanted more austerity from the government. Last week, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi announced euro45.5 billion ($64.8 billion) in emergency austerity measures.
The improving appetite for risk, evidenced by the more benign stock market conditions, was evident in currency markets too, with the euro up 0.8 percent at $1.4385.
And notably, the Swiss franc continued to fall on speculation that the Swiss National Bank will peg the currency to the euro. Swiss officials have hinted that further action could be taken, after liquidity measures, to correct the currency's "massive overvaluation" in recent trading. By mid afternoon, the euro was 0.7 percent higher on the day at 1.1275 francs.
Despite the speculation, BNP Paribas strategists said in a report that the Swiss franc "is susceptible to renewed strength if the markets do not receive some official signals of pending action by midweek."
In Asia, stock markets rose Monday as data showed the economy of earthquake-battered Japan shrank less than expected.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed up 1.4 percent at 9,086.41 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shot up 3.3 percent to 20,260.10.
Mainland Chinese shares gained for a fifth trading day on expectations the government announce new measures to support growth. The Shanghai Composite Index added 1.3 percent to 2,626.77 and the Shenzhen Composite Index rose 1.4 percent to 1,175.41.
In the oil markets, prices recovered alongside equities. The main New York contract was up 25 cents at $85.63 a barrel.

Here's another update on various projects and issues around Brisbane's inner-south side. As usual, I would appreciate it if you can forward this email on to any friends or neighbours who might be interested.
With the support of Kangaroo Point Neighbourhood Watch, quite a few KP residents are interested in setting up a community garden in one of the public parks on the western side of the peninsula. At the moment, the leading proposal for the garden location is at the northern end of James Warner Park, just next to the Story Bridge Jazz Club carpark.
I'm very open to this idea, but as this represents a significant change to how a public park is used, I want to make sure everyone gets the chance to have a say. I'm running a community vote to help inform this decision and demonstrate to council that there's strong local support for the idea. If you have an interest in this part of Kangaroo Point, please follow this link to cast your vote.
The Serbian Orthodox Church on Ross Street in Woolloongabba is a striking local landmark with a long and proud history. Internal renovation works have recently been completed, and they're inviting all members of the local community to have a look inside.
Importantly, they're also exploring options to relocate or demolish the old hall on the southern side of the site (directly opposite the main church entrance) to free up more open space. They don't want to put in any more buildings – they just want to make room for a bit of greenery and a proper entranceway. They've been planning to remove this building for many years. However it's listed on the local heritage register.
In order to decide whether I'll support or object to the removal, I'm facilitating an open discussion on the afternoon of Sunday, 17 March so the church committee can share their plans with residents, and we can get feedback from the surrounding community.
The open day kicks off at 3pm, with tours of the church and surrounding grounds. From 4pm we'll be meeting in the main church hall to discuss the complex question of what should happen to the old heritage-listed building. Everyone's welcome to come on a tour of the church and take part in the discussion.
The Brisbane & GPS Rowing Club on Hill End Terrace in West End is a non-profit community club that's open to anyone to join. They have seen substantial growth in members and are keen to expand their facility. They also want to offer a bit of room to the West End Canoe Club.
Their facility in Orleigh Park is owned by council. They are currently negotiating their proposal with BCC and will soon be lodging a development application for the renovations. We held a community meeting about this issue last year, and I'm co-organising another meeting at the club on the evening of Monday, 25 February so residents can get a look at the plans and ask questions before they go through the formal council process.
Please come along to this meeting to see what's proposed and share your views.
You can also invite friends via the Facebook event.
Council has finally released the draft map of the new parking rules that will come into effect for the southern half of West End and Highgate Hill from 18 March. You can view the map at this link (we can also send you a PDF if you're having trouble viewing it). As explained on this page, on some streets there will be a mix of parking rules, with some areas left as unlimited parking for everyone, and some areas marked '2P, resident permits excepted.' On other streets – particularly the southern side of Highgate Hill and the high-density area to the west of Montague Rd – there are no significant changes to the existing unlimited parking, so those residents won't need to apply for permits.
The map is still a draft, and my office is requesting a few minor changes, including more short-term parking on Hill End Terrace alongside Orleigh Park. After the scheme has been in place for a few months, we will review the rules and make further adjustments to the signage in response to changes in parking behaviour.
Here's the link to the official council page to apply for permits. It doesn't say it on the website, but you can call up 3403 8888 and request a physical visitor permit instead of an online one. I encourage all residents to get a physical visitor permit, because these are easier to pass from one car to another, whereas if you have a digital visitor permit you have to go online on and tell the council the vehicle registration number every time someone visits.
I'm also calling another public meeting for residents of Baynes St, Ewart St and Hove St to see what people think of the parking rules the council has proposed. This will be an important discussion to be part of if you can. The council is still receiving regular complaints from residents about vehicles blocking footpaths, and I want to make sure we get the balance right in terms of how much parking remains unlimited, and how much of the street is for resident permits.
Finally, I wanted to express my support for the Kurilpa Futures community campaign that's encouraging all motorists to stick to driving at 40km/h around South Brisbane, West End and Highgate Hill. Many parts of the 4101 postcode are already limited to 40km/h, and new school zone speed limits will also soon be installed around Brisbane State High School.
The Kurilpa Peninsula has changed dramatically in recent years, with rapid densification contributing to many more pedestrians and cyclists on the street. A general speed limit of 40km/h is a lot safer for all road users, and I think it's inevitable that council will eventually drop the speed uniformly in the inner-city, however that could take some time.
While I continue to advocate for lower speed limits within council (both on residential side-streets and on main roads like Montague Rd), I think it would be great if everyone can drive to local conditions. BCC is very slow at making changes, so it'll help greatly if residents lead the charge. There's a Facebook page for this campaign at this link.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with my office. Don't forget to check out all the other community events listed below.

When choosing a degree, people often fall into the trap of thinking according to social norms. Sure, there are broad-degrees which give multiple career options, but it's worth thinking wider than just science, the arts, commerce or any other traditional studies. It might surprise you how many strange and quirky degrees there are, and some of them might just be to your liking!
We have set out six of the weirdest degrees that you can study around the world. Which will you choose?
Do you have a knack for making people laugh? Believe it or not, you can get a degree in comedy as a comedic writer and performer. Around the world, many institutions actually offer this three to four year course, and this degree falls under the arts and includes elements of theatrics. A degree in comedy focuses on aspects such as styles and genres of comedy and the art of storytelling, studying character development, storyboarding – and of course, it also teaches skills regarding improvisation.
It's a given, then, that creativity and a good sense of humor are good qualities to have when applying for this degree. Writing dialogues, stand-up comedy sketches and plays are also part of the curriculum. The degree gives you an opportunity to pursue a career as a stand-up comedian or even as a comedy writer for plays, television or movies.
Auctioneering degrees are rapidly growing in popularity – and it isn't all about slamming down the hammer and shouting, "Sold!"! This degree actually teaches students bargaining skills as well as how to value items such as antiques, homes, animals and other assets. Other skills taught are speed-talking, auction chanting, and audience communication. There are also aspects of auction laws and management covered. The degree's length can range between one to four years.
Regularly mowing your lawn is one thing, but managing a professional sports pitch is an entirely different ball game (pun intended). Grass isn't usually something that the average person thinks about, but in reality it is a complicated field of study, which affects activities more than you think. Turf management is a specialist occupation and all sports played on a grass turf require a turf manager's expertise.
Parks, golf courses, soccer fields, cricket pitches and many more recreational activities are very reliant on effective turf management. A turf-grass management degree entails the studying of landscaping and aspects of managing weeds, irrigation and plant genetics. It's a good option for people who love the outdoors and is perfect for sport-lovers!
Colourful glass windows are pretty to look at, but they are more complicated to construct and conserve than you would think! That is why there are actual degrees in the art and conservation of stained glass. Stained glass degrees combine elements of design and mathematics. The course usually entails a fair share of theory and history, but is mostly practical with classes in glassblowing, pattern designing, glass-mosaic studies and more. Students are also given the opportunity to create windows, jewellery, mosaics and tableware. A plus to this degree are the regular visits to sites with impressive glass features.
Drama and theatre studies are good, safe degrees. But if you love theatrics and want an interesting twist to your degree, why not study puppetry? Puppetry degrees are usually three years long and teach a wide variety of skills. Students learn how to construct puppets and study how puppet-manipulation works in order to optimise performances. There are also elements of set-building and the course focuses on design, performance, theatre making and elements of voice-control.
There are two branches from this degree: animal management or business management. In animal management, the main focus is on the horse. The degree emphasizes aspects such as breeding, diets and exercise plans and, of course, training. Graduates can work in the horseracing industry and on private or commercial farms.
On the other hand, the business management part focuses on the management of the horseracing industry and encompasses units of study such as communication skills, financial management and business psychology. The degree is generally three years and students can choose their majors in either business or animal management, according to preference.
Alberta wants to pursue an unconventional career, and is currently looking at Criminology courses.

Eventide's 'Forum' a funny thing
By Lee RoscoeContributing writer
May 6, 2016 at 6:24 PM May 6, 2016 at 6:24 PM
Eventide Theatre Company's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is, as the opening number proclaims it will be, funny.
DENNIS – Eventide Theatre Company's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is, as the opening number proclaims it will be, funny. It's energetically performed by all concerned, and director David McCarty makes great use of small space with imaginative staging, simple and comedic choreography, and a cast of strong voices.
Jeffrey Clonts as the Roman slave Pseudolus, a role created by Zero Mostel, enthusiastically scampers about, setting the slapstick farce in motion, vowing to figure a way to get the virgin Philia (soprano Anne Vohs) into the hands of young Hero (tenor Robert Brancato) in return for his gleeful freedom. But Lycus, the procurer, played with gusto by well-known Cape character actor Daniel Fontneau, has already sold Philia to a great Roman captain.
Lycus' neighbors are Senex, Hero's father, and Erronius, who has been seeking his now-grown children who were captured as babies by pirates. Erronius is expelled from his home by Pseudolus as part of a prank, and some of the most amusing moments are when Bud Ferris, as Erronius, bewildered and deaf, intermittently circles back to the action in the play from a journey through the hills of Rome.
The philandering Senex lusts after Philia, thinking she is his new maid. Truths of the eternal ways some men think are a show highlight when smooth Steve Ross, as Senex, sings "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" (pre-dating Neil Young's tongue-in-cheek "A Man Needs a Maid"), while Lycus, Pseudolus and Hysterium, Senex's other slave and Pseudolus' constant cohort, chime in.
Kristin Frehlau, as Senex's wife, Domina, intuits her husband is not on the up and up, but while he lusts, she flirts with Capt. Miles Gloriosus and still loves her cheatin' man, delivering a show stopper, "That Dirty Old Man" with her great voice and wily acting.
As Hysterium, Ken Bouchard's singing and ability to be a changeling serve the play well. Ari Lew's Gloriosus, gleamingly garbed by costumer Judy Chesley in cuisses, leather armor, bronze flapping helmet, is a wonderfully pompous presence to be dealt with, rapturously singing parodies of war about the thrill of degrading an enemy. Gymnasia (Meg Morris), a prostitute, stands out as an amusingly coy dominatrix, but then each of the supporting cast has their moments. The chorus harmonizes well, accompanied by Lucy Banner on piano.
"Forum" is a comedy of errors, with mistaken identities, people masquerading as each other, elaborate ploys, and men dressed as women. While in the 21stcentury one is tempted to view the frenzied melodramatic theatrical conceits on which the 1960s musical is structured as old hat, and the stereotypical dumb blonde and objectification of females in the sex trade as mildly offensive, nonetheless the Vaudeville burlesque house humor, the clever Stephen Sondheim songs, and whole attitude of irreverence make us laugh.

United States Urges India on Enforcing Drug Patents in Order to Establish a High Level Working Relationship
The White House under Obama Administration is "pressuring" the new Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to revise the Indian Intellectual Property Laws, especially to repeal Section 3 of the Indian Patent Act of 1970, as amended in 2005. In an ongoing effort to strengthen relationships between the U.S. and India, both administrations have agreed to establish high level working groups on intellectual property matters to engage in issues of concern. This move on part of the White House, however, is not unprecedented, given that the United States has consistently advanced higher intellectual property protections through its trade working groups and partnerships on international platforms.
As amended in 2005, Section 3 of the Indian Patent Act of 1970 states the following to be considered not as inventions:
"The mere discovery of a new form of a known substance which does not result in the enhancement of the known efficacy of that substance or the mere discovery of any new property or new use for a known substance or of the mere use of a known process, machine or apparatus unless such known process results in a new product or employs at least one new reactant."
The true motive of this section in the Act as amended was to prohibit the benefit of unjust monopoly for trivial modification of inventions. This simply means that any existing knowledge cannot be patented in efforts to gain monopoly, well, at least in India. As such, many international pharmaceutical and drug companies that have active patented drugs are unable to enforce their patent rights in India.
Furthermore, India is one of the biggest growing global markets. Not reaping economic benefits from the Indian capitalist market is an arduous thought for most pharmaceutical corporations. This is because the unpatentability factor under Section 3 of the Act allows many generic drug manufacturers in India to use and commercially sell patented drugs in open market at a much lower price without the threat of patent infringement suits or having to pay royalties to the patent owners.
Proponents of universal health care, on the other hand, argue that the inclusion of section 3(d) by the way of an amendment in 2005 of the Indian Patent Act bolsters humanitarian initiative within the drug market arena of India. They claim that if the Act were to be repealed, many impoverished people of India, who can generally afford the generic drugs would be unable to buy the patented drugs, generally sold at a much greater price.
This has certainly created a hot debate in Indian politics. How far will the new Indian Administration budge to balance the humanitarian aspect of the Act for innovative growth and investor confidence in a globally surging market given the looming pressure by the United States is yet to be seen.
