[www.keralites.net] Re: [aryayouthgroup] KNOW YOUR MUSLIMS - THE SINGLE ISSUE VOTER - DELHI ELECTIONS

 

Only mad dogs and politician has any fixed affiliation to any party.
For people like me who form the vast majority of voters there are no permanent loyalties and so if you taake a count today it will not be the same tomorrow. In politics there are no permanent friends or enemies. It is the same with the vast majority of voters. We have no permanent loyalties. If people voted according to religious loyalties canddates form the same religion would be winning everytime from every constituency. But people are not fools in the long run though in the short run they may commit mistakes.

Why every Indian must know about Round 23 in Mustafabad seat in Delhi

In principle, voting allows us to decide who governs us. But a closer look shows that the electoral process forces us to make all sorts of difficult choices.

FEBRUARY 13, 2020

Here is a question. If you stood at New Delhi Railway Station and spoke to 7000 randomly chosen people, how many BJP supporters would you meet? Going by the BJP's 38.5% vote share in the just concluded election, a decent estimate would be around 2700 people. The real number, of course, could be a bit higher or a bit lower.

How much higher or lower could it get? Could it be that 6000 of them were BJP supporters? Could it be that just 1000 of them were BJP supporters? Both would be surprising.

How about this? What if there were just 5 BJP supporters among 7000 people you meet in Delhi. That sounds near impossible, right?

Well, it did happen. During the counting of votes on Tuesday.

UntitledRound 14 of counting in Mustafabad

These are the party positions after 14 rounds of counting at Mustafabad seat in Delhi. You can see that BJP candidate and sitting MLA Jagdish Pradhan has raced to a near 30,000 vote lead over his AAP rival. In an Assembly election, a lead of 30,000 would be considered fairly decisive. It would seem that Mr. Pradhan was on his way to retaining his seat comfortably.

And then something incredible happens between Round 14 and Round 23. Here is Round 19 for instance.

UntitledRound 19 at Mustafabad

In this round, AAP's Haji Yunus has received 7904 votes to just 36 for the BJP! WHAT? How?

This trend continues all the way between Round 14 and Round 23. Each time AAP's Haji Yunus piles on thousands of votes, while BJP struggles to hit even triple digits.

By Round 23 it is all over.

UntitledRound 23 in Mustafabad

AAP received 6878 votes in this round and the BJP just 5! AAP's Haji Yunus has now taken a comfortable lead of around 20,000 votes over the BJP and he cruises to victory.

Is this a technical glitch? A fraud? Manipulation in counting of votes? Was the election stolen? If you showed this sudden and extreme change of fortunes to anyone, they would suggest rushing to the Election Commission to file a complaint.

But, of course, the BJP, which is the losing party here, did not complain. They weren't even surprised. Surely that is because they understood the demographics of the area and expected nothing else.

After the BJP's defeat on Tuesday, we have been exposed to endless gyaan about how AAP worked miracles in education and health. What was this 6878 to 5 result about? Can you say seriously that it was about education and health? Remember that the BJP candidate was leading by around 30,000 votes until Round 14. How much disparity in education and health could there possibly be within a single seat in Delhi that we get a North Korea style landslide of 6878 to 5 in favor of AAP candidate Haji Yunus?

Every Indian needs to know what happened in Round 23 in Mustafabad in Delhi. Because it tells us what really lurks under the surface of Indian secularism.

In principle, voting allows us to decide who governs us. But a closer look shows that the electoral process forces us to make all sorts of difficult choices. The most basic of these is there while we may care about many issues, we get just one vote. When you break it down by candidate and by issue, you realize that it's a very complicated optimization problem. Also, there is the system. Do you vote for an MLA or a Chief Minister?

And then there are the unknowns. About a month after election results, people of Maharashtra found out that they had voted for a Congress government.

Similar problems would exist in every electoral system. More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, but Donald Trump won anyway.

When you grapple with all these unknowns, you realize how fragile democracy actually is. And how easily it can be hijacked by single issue voters.. Which is likely what happened in Mustafabad.

A group of dedicated people who care about one and only one issue can easily overwhelm the majority. AAP's Haji Yunus probably has to do little on education and health and development. He knows his 6878 to 5 landslide victory has nothing to do with those issues. As long as he keeps his single issue voter happy, he is safe.

AAP's Amanatullah Khan won from Okhla by a huge margin of almost 1 lakh votes. Is Okhla the most prosperous part of Delhi, with the best schools and hospitals? Probably not.

This is not just a Delhi phenomenon.. Hyderabad is one of India's top metros. Since 1989, it has been under the control of the Owaisi family that runs MIM. How can a vibrant metropolis be under the thumb of a party like MIM? Anyone will tell you that it's because MIM controls the "old city" of Hyderabad.. The old city area does not lead in education and health: in fact it is the poorest part of the city. But that matters little, because the area is full of single issue voters. On a side note, when was the last time you heard a liberal complain about the polarization that allows MIM to keep Hyderabad?

Yes, the people of Delhi wanted AAP this time. Even if BJP had won Mustafabad, there was no stopping Kejriwal. But elections come and go. Single issue voters stay exactly where they are. The rest of the public goes through mood swings. Ultimately, the single issue voter, who never changes their preference, will prevail. The system is designed to reward such behaviour.

Read: Amanatullah Khan: The Okhla MLA whose contribution to AAP's victory which cannot be ignored

Each time, the single issue voter tries to get a bit more space for their cause. Sometimes they may succeed in pushing ahead. Sometimes not. If their party doesn't win this time, they wait at the same point for five years and try again. The takeaway is that they are never in retreat. Over time, they will prevail.

Think about Shaheen Bagh. The media has stopped covering them now. By all accounts, the supply of Biryani, whether 'kudrati' or otherwise, seems to have run out. But remember that this crowd watched and cheered as a mother slowly dragged the life out of her 4 month old baby. Day by day, bit by bit, slowly and painfully. The cheering crowd has no regrets. The mother has no regrets. In fact, she has become a hero. Absolutely chilling crime against humanity committed in cold blood. This is the level of commitment that the single issue voter brings to the table.

Perhaps you are not among the single issue voters. You may have different priorities. You might be willing to strike a compromise with the single issue voter for the time being. Fine, but remember that the compromise will always come from your end. Expect no compromise from the other side. If a mother is willing to part with the life of her baby for the sake of her cause, what could possibly make her change her mind? She has already beaten the strongest instinct in all of nature, drilled in by millions of years of evolution. You stand no chance of convincing her. The single issue voter will not move back one inch and will not stop until they win 100%. It may take five years or hundred years, but the single issue voter will prevail.

How to Drink More Water

There is almost nothing more healthy than drinking water. It fights aging, flushes toxins out of our system, helps the skin and our immune system, as well as revitalizing our brains. In addition, the number 1 cause of extra weight and obesity is the sugary drinks many of us have replaced water with.
The main problem with water is that it's bland, and since today's children, and many adults, are often used to drinking sugary beverages, the original is just not tasty. So here is some advice: How to drink more water!
Add some slices of lemon(or lemon juice) to the water. The lemon is good for the stomach, skin, teeth and blood pressure, as well as add a nice taste to the water without adding sugar.

Be creative when cooling your drink.Freeze strawberries, grapes or cherries and add to the water, so you can enjoy cool water with a fruity touch.
Add some herbal tea to the menu. Tea contains critical antioxidants that fight aging, and it also detoxifies you and relaxes the body. Also, it's delicious!
tips for drinking water
water bottle
Carry a bottle of water everywhere you go. Get a small bottle of water (or a big one, depending on the size of your bag) and carry it around with you. Whenever you feel a little thirsty, take a little sip. Not only will it hydrate you, but many a time it will save you the cost of buying a refreshing drink, those costs add up!
Understand how much water you need. The Institute of Medicine recommends an average of 3.7 liters (125 ounces) per day for healthy adult men and 2.7 liters (91 ounces) per day for healthy adult women. Try to get close to that number.water
tips for drinking water
Mix water with natural fruit juice - If you really need a stronger taste in your water, you can squeeze some fresh juice to enjoy added vitamins and age fighting antioxidants.
Try mashing fresh fruit into the water to create a 'shake' of water and fruit pulp, this will add nutritional fibers with an added sweet taste.

Can't give up carbonated drinks?Then move to soda water with a bit of lemon or ginger. The soda contains minerals that are good for your body, and the lemon or ginger will neutralize the slight after-taste
Drink more soup. Soup is a wonderful source of vitamins, nutritional fibers and protein, and helps you feel fuller while also hydrating you.

[www.keralites.net] : HYDROGEL- A NEW WAY TO HEAL KNEES?

 HydroGel - A New Way to Heal Knees?

 
Bad or painful knees are one of the most common causes of pain in the elderly, and can start at quite an early age due to extra stress on the cartilage or due to injury. This damage is rarely healed by the body.

Part of the reason this damage doesn't heal well is because the cartilage in the knee gets very little blood flow, which body parts need to fix problems on a cellular level. Part of the standard treatment for knee cartilage healing is to make tiny holes in the area and let the blood pour in to encourage a healing process.

There are two problems with this method. The first is that the new tissue rarely replaces all of the damaged tissue, meaning it is never a complete replacement. The second is that the space may fill with scar tissue instead of new cartilage, which isn't really a solution.

But a new method is seeing light recently, as published in the journal of Translational Medicine, scientists, including biomedical engineer Jennifer Elisseeff from Johns Hopkins University. This method proposes the use of a replacement material, a hydrogel with some special properties.

The gel, which looks a lot like jello and behaves a lot like it too, is injected into the knee as liquid. However, once it is exposed to UV light, it hardens, providing a sort of scaffold for stem cells to attach to and grow on. The way it is built involves many bindings and criss-crossing fibers, to provide a very strong and stable structure.

To test this, Elisseeff and team tried the method on 15 patients. They poured the liquid hydrogel into the patients' torn cartilage. After that, the surgeons shined the UV light and hardened the polymers in the gel.

The results were very promising, the new cartilage filled 86% of the torn area. This was compared to 3 subjects who were treated in the standard way - for them, only 64% of the torn area was filled. 

In addition, the patients who got the hydrogel treatment reported considerably less pain than the control group patients. 

At the moment, larger studies are being held testing this method, but results seem promising, says Farshid Guilak, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke University, and adds that with the advance of stem cell treatments, the efficiency of this system will only grow, as we will be able to use the body's own cells to facilitate faster growing of cartilage, and get more people out of pain and on their feet.

[www.keralites.net] 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER MICROWAVE

5 Thing You Should Never Microwave..

The microwave is a very common, and often used, kitchen appliance. It's a great toolfor heating up last night's dinner or a quick "2 minutes meal". However, the microwave ovens we know today, the same that cook the food we eat, are descended from the radar boxes of the Second World War.
Invented by Percy L. Spencer, who was a radar technician during the war, microwave ovens use electromagnetic energy that is very similar to radio waves. Due to this heating method, microwaves emit non-ionizing radiation, which studies show can affect our blood and heart. The effects of this radiation can lead to certain types of intestinal and stomach cancers.
That being said, there is no need to fear. Microwaves today go through many extensive testing and safety procedures to make sure they are safe to use. But while we are safe standing next to them, what happens to the food we heat inside of them?Here are 5 things you should never put in the microwave as it will damage the food, and maybe also the people who'll eat it.
Breast Milk.
Microwave food
Breast milk is essential in providing a newborn with powerful bacteria-fighting and nutritious materials. Heating breast milk in the microwave, on either high or low temperatures, has been found to destroy those beneficial substances, and worse. In the same tests, made by The "Journal of Pediatrics", it was found that the heated milk also has greater E-coli growth, a harmful bacteria for humans and babies in particular.
Broccoli.
Microwave food
Considered a very healthy vegetable, broccoli has been found to lose up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants during microwave cooking. While it's true that all form of cooking destroys some nutrients in the food we eat, this is truly an extreme example.
Defrosted Meat.
Microwave food
Researchers found that meat cooked for over 6 minutes in a microwave loses half of its vitamin B-12 content. Another big danger is that parts of the meat that have been defrosted, but are still in the microwave as it works, are a bacteria heaven. Since defrosting meat can take quite a long time there is a very real danger of either overcooked meat, or under-cooked meat full of bacteria. You are much better off defrosting meat in the fridge overnight and cooking it in some other way.
Frozen Fruit.
Microwave food
While buying frozen foods and fruits is actually not a bad idea, defrosting those frozen fruits in the microwave is a very bad one. Studies from the late 70′s showed that defrosting frozen fruit in a microwave, is converting beneficial glucoside and galactaside (types of sugar) in the fruit to carcinogenic substances. On a simpler note, microwaved fruits tend to shrink, wrinkle and lose their delicious texture. Frozen fruit are instead best thawed in the fridge or simply at room temperature.
Plastic wrap or plastic containers.
Microwave food
Heating food in plastic containers or covered by plastic wrap can release many harmful toxins and chemicals directly into your food. The dangers include Touene, a sustenance that inhaling it has potential to cause severe neurological harm. Benzene, which increases the risk of cancer and many many more chemicals. While many containers today are "microwave safe", it's still a good idea to avoid using them.
