'With regard to', Guest.

'With regards to' is what you say when you want to pass on good wishes:

1. 'With kind regards to you and your family.'

A. "with regard to", "in regard to" and "having regard to" are phrases which mean "as concerns"

e.g.
"There are many ongoing researches WITH REGARD TO non-newtonian lubricant."= "There are many ongoing researches AS CONCERNS non-newtonian lubricant.

B. "As regards" means "concerning" e.g.

"AS REGARDS non-newtonian lubricants, many researches are ongoing." = "Concerning non-newtonian lubricants, many researches are ongoing."

In this context, "regards" is wrong.  It must be "with regard to ..."

With "regard" to the claim on page one.

Send my fondest "regards" to your parents.
