Nepal, Division 3 Champion.......!

KATHMANDU, Oct 30: Capping an impressive campaign in Malaysia, Nepal defended the ICC World Cricket League Division 3 title on Thursday defeating Uganda by 62 runs in the final of the tournament at the Kinrara Oval Academy in Kuala Lumpur.
Having already secured promotion to ICC WCL Division 2 on Wednesday as the top team of the round-robin league, Nepal produced an all-round performance in the final to lift the title and also avenge the defeat to Uganda in its opener.

Nepal, Division 3 champion in 2013, was relegated to the same division after a disappointing ICC World Cup Qualifiers campaign in January earlier this year.
Electing to bat first, Nepal made an impressive start with the top three batsmen scoring half-centuries, but the middle and lower order failed to build on it as Nepal collapsed to 223 all out on the penultimate ball of the innings.

Defending a modest total, Nepal then bowled out Uganda for 161 runs in 44.1 overs with disciplined bowling and tight fielding. Bhuwan Karki pocketed four wickets for Nepal and Basanta Regmi claimed two. Shakti Gauchan, Sagar Pun and Sompal Kami shared a wicket each.
"The boys are happy and in a celebratory mood after retaining the title, and we achieved what we had wanted," said Nepal´s head coach Pubudu Dassanayake. "Beating Uganda in the final was special and we got the perfect revenge. We had failed to play to our standard in the opener."

"Everyone has been pushing themselves for this event because we know it´s a pathway to ODI status, as well as the ICC Intercontinental Cup and the ICC World Cricket League Championship. We want to be there, and we are doing whatever we can from our side to get to that level, and hopefully we can make it through Division 2 to those competitions," the International Cricket Council (ICC) quoted Nepal skipper Paras Khadka as saying in a press release issued on Thursday.

Nepali top order has been struggling with the bat since long, but the openers showed signs of improvement during the Division 3 tournament. On Thursday as well, Nepal got a sound start from the top order with openers Sagar Pun (64) and Naresh Budhaayer (51) and No 3 batsman Gyanendra Malla (56) all crossing the half-century mark.

However, the middle order and tail-enders failed to deliver in the final as skipper Paras (13) was the only other batsman to reach double figures.
"The most positive aspect of the tournament was that the top order started getting runs. Subash Khakurel, Naresh, Gyanendra and Sagar all did well in batting," said Dassanayake.

He, however, opined that there were lots of areas for improvement as well. "Though we got a good start, we failed to cross the 250-run mark. We did not have a good finish."
"Now we have to get ready for Division 2. We have to work even harder in the coming days because we will be playing at a different level. A top-two finish in Division 2 will take Nepali cricket to another level," Dassanayake said.

The Division 2 tournament is scheduled to take place in Namibia from January 17 to 24 next year and will feature six teams -- Nepal, Uganda, host Namibia, Kenya, Canada and the Netherlands. It is a gateway to the ICC Intercontinental Championship, a four-day first-class cricket tournament, and the World Cricket Championship as the top two teams of Division 2 will qualify for these two events.

10 Secret Things You Had No Idea Your Android Phone Could Do

You have an Android phone. You love your Android phone. Of course, there’s plenty to love aboutGoogle’s terrific mobile operating system, but much of it comes back to the simple fact that Android is open. Thanks to the way Google allows third-party developers to use nearly all of the tools and features at their disposal in Android, the sky is the limit when it comes to developing apps that add all sorts of great functionality to Android phones — and much of it is functionality that iPhone users will likely never enjoy.
But you don’t always need to install a third-party app to find exciting new features in Android. In fact, there are tons of hidden features that you probably didn’t even know your phone had.
Whether you have a Nexus smartphone, a Samsung phone, an HTC handset, a new Moto X from Motorola or any other Android powered device, there is tons of great functionality that Google has built into the core operating system beneath your vendor’s proprietary user interface. And despite the fact that you’ve undoubtedly spent plenty of time poking around, Android is so feature-rich that there are likely plenty of things you missed.
We could run through great hidden Android features for days, but Emily Price recently put together a nice quick list for Popular Mechanics that covers 10 awesome Android features you might not know about.
For example, did you know that you can configure your phone to send your ex boyfriend or girlfriend’s calls — or, anyone else’s calls, of course — straight to voicemail without the phone even ringing? Simply open a contact in the Contacts app, tap Edit, scroll down to “Additional info” and select “Send straight to voicemail.”
For less aggressive call screening, you can also create canned messages in the phone or call settings on your handset so you can swipe up on the screen when your phone rings and quickly send a text message letting the caller know you’re busy.
Shifting gears, did you know that your Android phone completely eliminates the need to carry any kind of USB flash drive? Just plug it into a computer with the supplied USB cable and select Media device (wording may vary by device) from the options that become accessible through the pop-up in your notification panel.
Next up, Price shares a great hidden shortcut in the Google Maps app that comes pre-installed on all Android phones from top global vendors.
Before you travel to an area with poor cell coverage, or if you just want to conserve data and avoid hitting your monthly cap, pull up the area where you’re headed and type “Ok Maps” in the search box. Google Maps will then download that portion of the map and store it so you can pull it up later without using any data.

And speaking of data, you can also set up alerts under Data Usage in your device’s settings to help ensure that you don’t go over your monthly allotment.

Could Multiple Sclerosis Begin in the Gut?

MS researchers are focusing on the content of the gut’s microbiome as a possible contributor to the body’s autoimmune attack on its nervous system
Oct 8, 2014
••

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an electrical disorder, or rather one of impaired myelin, a fatty, insulating substance that better allows electric current to bolt down our neurons and release the neurotransmitters that help run our bodies and brains. Researchers have speculated for some time that the myelin degradation seen in MS is due, at least in part, to autoimmune activity against the nervous system. Recent work presented at the MS Boston 2014 Meeting suggests that this aberrant immune response begins in the gut.
Eighty percent of the human immune system resides in the gastrointestinal tract. Alongside it are the trillions of symbiotic bacteria, fungi and other single-celled organisms that make up our guts’ microbiomes. Normally everyone wins: The microorganisms benefit from a home and a steady food supply; we enjoy the essential assistance they provide in various metabolic and digestive functions. Our microbiomes also help calibrate our immune systems, so our bodies recognize which co-inhabitants should be there and which should not. Yet mounting evidence suggests that when our resident biota are out of balance, they contribute to numerous diseases, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, autism and, it appears, MS by inciting rogue immune activity that can spread throughout the body and brain.
One study presented at the conference, out of Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), reported a single-celled organism called methanobrevibacteriaceae that activates the immune system is enriched in the gastrointestinal tracts of MS patients whereas bacteria that suppress immune activity are depleted. Other work, which resulted from a collaboration among 10 academic researcher centers across the U.S. and Canada, reported significantly altered gut flora in pediatric MS patients while a group of Japanese researchers found that yeast consumption reduced the chances of mice developing an MS-like disease by altering gut flora.
Sushrut Jangi, a staff physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston who co-authored the BWH study, thinks that regional dietary influences might even be at play. “The biomes of people living in different areas and who consume Western versus non-Western diets are demonstratively different,” he says. “People who emigrate from non-Western countries, including India, where MS rates are low, consequently develop a high risk of disease in the U.S. One idea to explain this is that the biome may shift from an Indian biome to an American biome,” although there is not yet data to support this theory.
The microbiome theory is gaining so much steam in academia that a coalition of four U.S. research centers called the MS Microbiome Consortium recently formed to investigate the role of gut microorganisms in the disease. The group presented data in Boston showing significantly different gastrointestinal bacterial populations in patients treated with the MS drug glatiramer acetate compared with untreated subjects. How exactly the drug suppresses MS activity is unknown but the findings suggest that perhaps it works in part by altering gut flora and, as a result, suppressing abnormal immune activity. “The gut is well-positioned for an important role in the development of autoimmune disease, including MS.,” says Ilana Katz Sand, an assistant professor of neurology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City and member of the MS Microbiome Consortium. “But important questions remain, such as how MS medications affect the microbiome, how an individual’s microbiome may affect treatment responses, whether particular bacterial species are associated with more severe disease and ultimately whether we can manipulate the microbiome to benefit our patients.”
Katz Sand says that dietary and probiotic approaches to treating MS are worth pursuing, as is a less palatable approach: fecal transplantation. Yet answers in science and medicine are rarely simple, she added, pointing out that in all likelihood MS arises from a complicated confluence of genetic and environmental influences that might ultimately trigger autoimmune activity. Beyond just our gut flora well over 100 genetic variants—many related to immune function—are now known to contribute to the disease as are external factors including vitamin D deficiency (MS is more common at higher latitudes), smoking and increased salt intake.
Further confounding our ability to pinpoint root causes is that our genetic code influences how our bodies and brains respond to these external factors. It could be that both genes and environmental stimuli lead to pathologic microbiomes or that some unfortunate combination of these factors leads to a common autoimmunologic pathway that ravages myelin. “We know the microbiome shapes our immune system and that MS is an immune-mediated disease. We also know that genes influence our microbiomes and immune systems,” says David Hafler, professor of neurology and immunobiology at Yale University School of Medicine who was at the conference but not involved in the microbiome work presented. But there must be nongenetic factors contributing to the disease, too, given that the incidences of MS and other autoimmune disorders are increasing.
“Maybe it’s a lot of little factors like low vitamin D, increased body mass index and increased salt intake,” Hafler says, “but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one big thing, much like how H. pylori was found to cause ulcers. No one’s identified a clear bug that’s driving MS but I think it’s important we keep looking.”
