A top exec at the $12.7 billion insurance startup Devoted Health shares the key ingredients for transforming American healthcare and what's standing in the way of faster progress
Shelby Livingston
Dr. Neil Wagle, the chief medical officer of Devoted Health.
Dr. Neil Wagle is designing a new model of healthcare at Devoted Health, a $12.7 billion startup.
In an interview, he identified keys to building a successful value-based-care organization.
He said experienced clinicians and tech are essential but consolidation hinders industry progress.
Dr. Neil Wagle knows a thing or two about transforming healthcare.
Wagle, an internal-medicine physician by training, spent six years at Partners Healthcare (now Mass General Brigham) leading the health system's efforts to improve the quality of care for patients.
In 2017, he joined Devoted Health, a $12.7 billion health-insurance startup. As its chief medical officer, he's spearheading the development of a model of care aimed at improving the health of older Americans by getting them the right care at the right time while saving costs for the US healthcare system. Wagle, who is 40, was selected for Insider's list of 30 leaders under 40 transforming healthcare in 2022.
People who enroll in Devoted's Medicare Advantage plans can keep their primary-care doctors. But the startup's in-house medical group, Devoted Medical, provides extra services to treat people with diabetes, heart failure, and other chronic illnesses, or those who just returned home from a hospital visit, in their homes or virtually.
The idea is that by providing those additional services — at no cost to the member — Devoted can keep patients healthier and out of the hospital, allowing the health plan to avoid the $15,000 to $20,000 cost of the hospital visit, Wagle said.
Devoted is growing fast and expanding in the US. It covers about 80,000 people, the company confirmed, which is about double its health-plan membership from a year ago. Wagle said Devoted Medical, which employs 400 providers and other staffers, plans to employ about 1,000 people by January as it treats more members.
"What is exciting to me is that if this works — which, it is working — and we do it at scale, we can not only transform healthcare in this country — it actually solves all three of the current healthcare crises," Wagle said, referring to growing healthcare costs, provider burnout, and inadequate care for aging Americans.
In an interview with Insider, Wagle outlined the key ingredients for transforming healthcare and why startups, not industry incumbents, will be the ones to get the job done.
Wagle said that having experienced clinicians passionate about caring for patients and having the right supporting technology is essential to succeed in a new payment model — but consolidation among big health systems, many of which still get paid in traditional ways, is a major roadblock to sweeping change.
Transforming healthcare requires the right people and technology
Wagle said Devoted so far has been successful because of two key factors: the people it hires and the way it deploys its homegrown software.
Wagle said Devoted hires clinicians based on clinical experience (the average clinician has eight years of experience, he said) and the "love in your heart." He acknowledged it sounds cheesy, but the goal is to create a workforce passionate about taking care of older Americans.
That workforce must be supported by great technology but not overwhelmed by it. Wagle said Devoted's electronic medical record, built from scratch, is meant to make its clinicians' jobs as easy and effective as possible.
He said that while some technology platforms inundate clinicians with reminders to perform tasks such as screening for depression or submitting billing codes, "with our providers we say: Don't remember anything. Emote, connect, feel, and software will remember everything for you, so you can focus on practicing your craft, on making that connection."
"And it's really that connection that allows these great clinical and financial results," he added.
Old habits and healthcare consolidation are big barriers to progress
Many attempts to improve healthcare by changing the way it's financed have failed.
Part of the problem, Wagle said, is that altering the behavior of clinicians who have long been paid one way is challenging.
Traditionally, healthcare providers have been paid a fee for every service or test they provide, known as "fee for service." The more they did, the more they were paid, regardless of whether the person's health improved.
"There is a generation of providers who have grown up in the hamster-wheel world, and turning that system is very, very difficult," he said.
Changing behavior becomes even more difficult when a healthcare organization accepts "value-based payments" for some patients and traditional payments for others. Wagle said clinicians aren't built to change how they act from one patient to the next.
He said one of the biggest threats to healthcare transformation is rampant consolidation in the industry. Big health systems are merging and snapping up physician practices, driving up healthcare costs for Americans.
"The more it consolidates, the more the behavior patterns shift towards these sort of big systems that are largely operating fee-for-service," Wagle said. "The most rapid progress will happen from new entrants rather than incumbents."

Knowing where to go to the bathroom and recognizing when to go are two different skills for a toddler. Here you'll find ways to make sure your Squirrel becomes an expert in both.
Your Squirrel will want to continue the games, and you're starting to combine that with real potty experiences. You're going to need to help your Squirrel slow down enough to feel what her body is doing, but keep that fun level high with the games. So build upon the games you've established, this time bringing the games into the bathroom.
Set the Time to Potty timer for every 30 minutes to help your child get in the habit of going to the bathroom.
When your child is sitting on the potty chair or toilet, talk to him about what it feels like when you have to go to the bathroom. Talk about how your belly starts to feel a little full and might start to feel funny. Relate how it feels when you (ahhh) let out the pee or poop.
Help your child use Learning Designs® Training Pants to see when it's time to for a change into clean Pull-Ups®. Tell her that whenever she sees the learning design has faded, she can talk to you about needing a change.
After a while, your child will start to feel when his body tells him that he has to go to the bathroom. Cool & Learn® Training Pants provide a brief cooling sensation when your child wets to help you teach him the signs of when he needs to go. (Cool & Learn change temperature when your child has gone to the bathroom in them.) Families who choose Cool & Learn see it as a tool to help their child create the link between the brief cooling sensation, feeling wet, and going to the potty. Feel free to experiment with Cool & Learn if you prefer this approach!

We Made It in America: The Political Undertones of Pop-Culture & Hip-Hop [continued…]
In Part I of his interview with BBC broadcasted in 2009, prominent rapper & social icon Jay-Z expressed his views on many contentious issues gripping the politics of America & the international community today.
The photograph above is very significant to this blog entry. It is a picture of Kanye West & Jay-Z during their Watch The Throne tour throughout the US. The title of this blog, is the title of quite a meaningful song on the album: "We Made It in America". The song laments on the grievances & legacies of the African-American people, as well as the African culture from which they were essentially kidnapped; & which continues be exploited today.
This is Part II of the interview, continued:
The song is inspiring. The message too. Not only does it expose the crimes of the US against its own people, it expresses the genius of the African people, in the realms of art, music & culture. Watch The Throne, was a political masterpiece. A magnum opus. All the words fit. I felt like I was LISTENING to Plato's The Republic. It's the soundtrack, if indeed The Republic were a movie.
Essentially the political undertones of Watch The Throne are echoing the socio-economic grievances of all disenfranchised, marginalized, gentrified & exploited minorities. The twisted sense of "individualism" in the Western culture justified the historic atrocity of the trans-atlantic slave-trade, which exists today in a more elusive form, such as police brutality, gentrification, disenfranchisement, mass incarceration, income inequality & unequal opportunities for minorities.
These grievances are echoed by intellectuals of the 19th & 20th century, mostly non-American. I've listed a few examples below.
George Orwell, famed writer of 1984 & Animal Farm, was a "democratic-socialist" who warned against capitalism & communism, arguing the two led to statism.
Albert Camus, an anarchist, was sympathetic to communism but stressed that collective apparatuses might lead to corruption and statism.
Any Rand, hailed by Conservatives, defines the epitome of the hypocritical dogma of anarchical-capitalism. A self-proclaimed anarchist, Rand proved she was not loyal to her own creed, as she relied thoroughly on state welfare & sponsorship from the state of Israel, inconsistent with her atheism as well as her free-market fundamentalism.
All these perspectives force the following questions to float around in my head:
Is socialism another power-grabber?
It seems like the US & Europe despise socialist entities.
Are we the devil or are they?
Who's killing who?
While most fight for freedom for some, who fights for freedom for all?
So what is the evil? It seems that hyper-individualism mirrors the tyranny of hyper-collectivism, both of which result in the exploitation of minority classes.
Prominent African-American scholar Cornel West associates the suppression of Civil Rights with statism as well as capitalism. He argues that America is not a democracy, because it serves an elite class at the expense of the will of the people. Furthermore, West suggests that capitalism results in many of the imbalances in the economy that cause misery for the lower classes.
I would argue, like 20th century German economist Fredrick List, that every successful nation-state adopts mixed economics combining state intervention with free market flow, which suggests that democracy & capitalism alone cannot guarantee the protection of individual rights. In many ways, democracy has engrained & perpetuated the tradition of exclusivity in the West which deems minorities, including blacks, latinos, arabs, gays, muslims & atheists are second class citizens, with little access to mobility in the economic ladder.
Freedom, salvation & happiness are not products of capitalism, materialism or the intellectual dogma of hyper-collectivism.
Rather, these virtues are achieved through humility, hard-work & self-reliance and the rest follows. Meanwhile, the power-hungry aim to deprive man of these freedoms, through propaganda & excessive force. How well do democracy & capitalism alone ensure these virtues? Historically, they've done as much as communism to improve the living conditions of the lower classes.
In his recent acceptance speech at the BET Honors ceremony, Kanye West took time to reflect on issues that form the bedrock of the Hip-Hop culture. Here is a snippet:
Fundamentalists, be they religious or atheistic in essence wholly worship man-made ideologies that eventually collapse on themselves, such as the neoconservative model of hyper-capitalism exhibited by NATO countries or the police-like communism of the USSR.
The association between the American & European traditions of suppressing & exploiting foreign countries is based in their logic of exclusivity. That is why 1% of Americans own America, while the vast majority remains living check-to-check. That is why, while the institution of slavery ended some time ago, the US remains at the top of the list for highest incarceration rates in the world, with the highest prisoner count than any other in the world. Yet, Iran is the great satan. Syria is the great satan. Venezuela. We go to war for oil & that oil never trickles down to the poor. In fact, it is usually the taxpayer funding all of this, against his will for the most part.
It is times likes these when I begin to question the logic of 'democracy.' There isn't even 1 single definition of democracy. It is a vague term that is thrown around. Most people think it means representative government. Some think it means majority wins. Others believe it means universal law. I would say one of the distinctive features are the electoral process & term limitations. Democracy, especially by the Right-Wing, is viewed as the protector & guaranteer of capitalism & free market competition. But in reality, it seems, like communism, only to concentrate wealth in the hands of an already established elite so as to convince the masses they are free, to sustain them for lack of self-sustenance & to thereby garner their support for all political/colonial initiatives. The free-market is not protected by democracy or capitalism, but rather, just as in communism, becomes held hostage to the ignorance of mass-minded forces of collectivism. The freedoms awarded to the elite are limited to the mass because of a fear of intimidation & competition. A lot of propaganda is aimed at trying to convince us (both capitalism & communism do this) that earth's resources are scarce & need proper redistribution.
But "exclusivity is the new N word," said the courageous Kanye West during his most latest interview with Zane Lowe, in reference to the culture of hubris & bigotry that has disenfranchised all minorities & expressionists from the conversation of social justice.

CoreLogic reports on 'diverse' 2017, makes bold 2018 predictions
09 Jan CoreLogic reports on 'diverse' 2017, makes bold 2018 predictions
The 2017 housing market has been one in transition, quite diverse and where values across all dwelling classes have continued to rise, according to the latest CoreLogic report.
This rise was underpinned by a slowing growth trend where, towards the end of the year, values began to level out completely.
The sharpest transition occurred in Sydney, which was previously the strongest housing market over recent years, CoreLogic's Property Pulse for 21 December has found.
Research analyst Cameron Kusher said that values have fallen off in the harbour city.
"Sydney dwelling values were 1.3 per cent lower than their August 2017 peak at the end of November," the analyst said.
"Most other capital cities have also seen their rates of growth slow recently, with Perth the exception.
"Although Perth dwelling values are lower over the year, there has been a subtle transition towards growth in late 2017, with values 0.3 per cent higher over the three months ending November 2017 — the strongest rate of quarterly growth since June 2014."
Mr Kusher said that the diversity of the market was most evident in the double-digit-value rise in Hobart (11.5 per cent) and Melbourne (10.1 per cent).
"Although the heat is now clearly coming out of the housing market, Sydney and Adelaide are the only capital cities to see the annual change in dwelling values now lower in November 2017 relative to November 2016."
Mr Kusher added that this has been driven largely by "significant" shifts in the lending environment.
"Credit growth limits for investors were already in place. However, origination limits were introduced for interest-only mortgages at the end of March.
"As a result of these changed regulatory policies, lenders have begun to charge premiums on the interest rate for investor and interest-only mortgage products."
Mr Kusher further said that, in 2018, he is expecting a further slowdown in national housing market conditions.
"Credit policies are likely to remain tight as regulators keep a watchful eye out for a rebound in investment credit growth or a reversal in the trend towards fewer mortgages with a loan to valuation ratio of more than 80 per cent."
He also said that interest rates are likely to remain on hold in 2018.
"Higher interest rates would stifle household consumption and business investment and could cause financial distress among a highly indebted household sector," Mr Kusher said.
"However, rates aren't likely to fall due to concerns of refueling the controlled slowdown in the housing market."
Mr Kusher also said that he anticipates national dwelling values to fall further in 2018, driven lower by falls across Sydney and, to a lesser extent, Melbourne.
The analyst concluded: "After values surged 75 per cent higher over Sydney's growth cycle and 59 per cent higher across Melbourne, it's rational to expect some slippage in dwelling values across these cities."

Rochelle School
Friars Mount House

London E2 7FA
Avis Newman's work is rooted in the conceptual space of drawing and incorporates canvas works, objects and works on paper. Her longstanding influences come from the symbolic worlds of ancient cultures and an interest in fundamental ideas of origin – as embodied in the moment of initial tracing and the genesis of the mark. Since 2007, she has identified her works as Configurations – 'assemblages of interchangeable elements, layered, hung, and partially overlapped, which are arranged in sets or in sequences and that resist an absolute fixity.' These works propose a series of mobile relations that exceed possible boundaries.
Avis Newman (b. 1946) lives and works in London. Her work has featured in national and international solo and group exhibitions including A Very Special Place: Ikon in the 1990s, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK, 2021; Meticulous Observations and Naming the Money, the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 2017; More Light, 5th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow, 2013; Avis Newman: Mobile Relations, The Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts, Norwich, UK, 2013; On Line: Drawing Through The Twentieth Century, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2010; Drawing of the World, World of Drawing, Seoul National University, Seoul, 2010; Between Metaphor and Object: Art of the 90's from the IMMA Collection, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2009; Questionmark, Wait, Error, Understood, National Museum of Art, Kaunas, 2004; Avis Newman: Descriptions, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, 2003; The Janet Wolfson de Botton Gift, Tate Britain, London, 1999; and Avis Newman: Blocking Light, Camden Arts Centre, London, 1996.
The Arts Club, London presents two Spring exhibitions, Robin Rhode and Patricia Leite, 20 January – April 2020
Newman's works are part of museum and public collections including the Arts Council Collection, UK; British Council Collection, UK; Tate, UK; Weltkunst Collection, Zurich; Berardo Collection, Lisbon, Portugal; Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Park; Washington DC, USA; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

but the Mada streets of Mylapore, which are abundant with these Maavadus forced me to do this job. I could not resist the temptation......This is just to fulfill my desire. I bought very small quantity and made this pickle. I got Thirumurthy Vadus, which are from Coimbatore.
We must take care to buy mangoes with stem only. Otherwise, they will rot in no time.
Like this, there were quite a few stalls on Mada Street...can you just come off without buying???
Immerse the Vadumangais in water, soak then for 1/2 hour, wash them well.
Pour the gingely oil too. If you like Castor oil, you can add that also.
You must see to it that the oil, salt and turmeric coat each and every piece of the mango. This is the protection plan for this special pickle.
Keep it covered well, first with a cloth and then with a lid, keep in a shady place, and for 4 days, every morning and evening, mix it well. Water from the salt will be secreting little by little.
On the 5th day morning, it will be like this.
Mix both the powders well.
And blend to a smooth paste. This method gives a rich and thick gravy to the pickle.
Mix well, and keep covered again and allow to rest till evening.
Add well boiled and cooled water, in room temperature, to the mangoes, till the mangoes immerse, and mix well. Another option is, while adding salt in the beginning, you can add 2-3 tbsps less, then add that salt to this water while boiling, and add. It will take a week more for the mangoes to take in the salt and spice.
Serve this superb pickle with curd rice.
* The pickle has to be refrigerated at once. Can't trust this weather.
*Initially, the mango water will be slightly salty only. Don't worry. Taste after a week. As days go by, mangoes will take in the salt and spices.

Having read with some interest the recent Small Town Perspectives concerning the anonymous writer criticizing the Dakota Herald, I was reminded of a story told about President Abraham Lincoln during the civil war.
Those who opposed his views regarding the war and slavery as well as his efforts to keep the nation united were vocal in denouncing him.
One day Lincoln was walking down the street near the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., when an acquaintance caught up with him. The man related many of the incidences of anti-Lincoln sentiment regarding Lincoln and his policies.
"Yes, I have heard you," Lincoln said, stopping, "but let me tell you a story. During the time of the full moon it is the habit of the dogs to come out at night to bark and bark at the moon. They keep it up as long as the moon is clearly visible in the sky." And then Lincoln started walking again.
And when it comes to criticism, President Lincoln was a good example of how to handle it. He knew his shortcomings, he knew some people disagreed with him, he knew others did not understand him, yet he stayed his course. He believed he could make a difference and that his policies would eventually unify his beloved country.
We will always have fault finders around us. There will always be people who seldom see the good we attempt but are quick to point out the negative, the deficiencies they perceive. Like Lincoln, all of us need to find ways to handle criticism without being distracted or destroyed by it.
Prayer: Father, help me to see "the log in my own eye"; to be an encourager to my family and friends in their daily struggles and may I always see the good in others. Amen.

You're part of the solution: Your quick guide to the Global Goals
EDITOR'S NOTE: Since we wrote this article in February 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and worsened food insecurity, decreased children's access to education, and set back gender equality for years to come. The Global Goals have never been more important than now. Working towards achieving the goals is imperative as they provide crucial framework for COVID-19 recovery and beyond.
It's tough to read the news these days. From the devastating effects of climate change on families around the world, to conflict, hunger and inequality, it is hard to know where to begin making a difference. Guess what? You are already part of the solution.
As a supporter of Canadian Feed The Children, you know you have been helping children access education, food security and a chance for a poverty-free future through your gifts. But did you know that your support is helping the world end poverty through the Global Goals?
What are the Global Goals? Why should I care about them?
The Sustainable Development Goals (or Global Goals) are a set of 17 interconnected goals to help end global poverty by the year 2030. Yes – we said end global poverty. It sounds like a lot, and it is. There has been progress, however there is a lot more to do.
The goals were adopted by 193 countries, including Canada, at the UN in 2015. The goals aim to "leave no one and no ecosystem behind" and are universal and interconnected. They are universal because each country is responsible for acting on them locally and internationally. They are interconnected because no one goal can be achieved without also achieving the others.
Why should you care about the Global Goals? Because you have already shown that you care about ending poverty and hunger for all. Also, every small action you take counts towards achieving these goals – including supporting organizations like CFTC. You have been part of this global movement all along.
What goal does Canadian Feed The Children work towards?
This is almost too easy. Goal 2: Zero Hunger! Well, we most certainly focus a lot of our attention on food security and food sovereignty for children and youth in our programming. However, because children grow up in complex environments, we take a holistic, community-led integrated approach to help children thrive at home, at school and in their communities. Each of these areas are interconnected, so we address many of the Global Goals at once.
What does this look like? Just ask 8-year old Flavia and her mother Emily in Uganda. When Flavia's father was left bedridden after a terrible motorcycle accident, her mother Emily was suddenly thrust into a new role as primary earner for her family. She struggled to provide for Flavia and her siblings.
Flavia and her mother Emily, thanks to generous donors, are able to receive a holistic and community-led approach to helping families through the Global Goals.
Flavia began going without meals. She felt sluggish, complained of stomach aches and was unable to concentrate in school. Emily searched for a solution and decided to join a CFTC funded program in her community, run by our partner HUYSLINCI. Flavia was immediately enrolled in a school feeding program (goal 2) and supported in her educational needs (goal 4).
Emily joined a Village Savings and Loans Group that helps many women like her grow their assets and savings, and she was able to start a fish smoking business to supplement the income from her firewood business (goals 5, 8 and 10). Now, Flavia is healthy (goal 3), eats a nutritious diet, and is excited about school. Emily feels empowered to provide for her family now, and Flavia is motivated to stay in school to study and become a nurse. All of these efforts can help break the cycle of poverty for their family, and many others like them around the world.
How do the Global Goals apply in Canada?
As mentioned earlier, each country, including Canada has signed on to reduce poverty and inequality for their citizens, as well as to help support other countries. We don't have to tell you that poverty, hunger and severe inequality exist in Canada. Indigenous communities in Canada are some of the most affected by these challenges. Canadian Feed The Children's partnerships with Indigenous communities in Canada are one way of implementing the Global Goals in the Canadian context.
The Global Goals challenge us to end inequalities. One powerful way you can help advance this goal is to understand the truth about Indigenous history in Canada, and how that history continues to create systemic barriers for Indigenous communities today. Listen to Indigenous podcasts, read books by Indigenous authors and follow the lead of communities who are fighting to preserve their lands, language, culture, ways of knowing and to reclaim their food sovereignty.
Supporting Indigenous-led initiatives like a Food Forest through donations or volunteering is one way that you can help advance the goals in Canada.
"The call to leave no one and no ecosystem behind presents an opportunity for the global development sector to embrace and strengthen partnerships within Canada and with Indigenous communities who are already carving out the solutions for themselves." – Tyra Cox and Jessica Hudson Hum-Antonopoulous, Transformations.
Our partner Muskeg Lake Cree Nation is reclaiming their food sovereignty, reducing the effects of climate change and passing on Indigenous food traditions and ways of knowing to the next generation through their Food Forest. Supporting Indigenous-led initiatives like this through donations or volunteering is one way that you can help advance the goals in Canada.

Go for the goals!
You are helping achieve the Global Goals every day with your support of Canadian Feed The Children. Thank you for helping to create a better world for everyone!
We cannot achieve the goals without working together. The best part is, each of us doing our own part brings us that much closer to ending poverty for millions around the world. So next time you feel helpless about the state of the world, pick your favourite goal and go for it. Commit to reducing your food waste to achieve goal 2. Take public transportation or carpool to help achieve goal 13. Remember that you have been part of the solution all along by supporting children and families through Canadian Feed The Children. Thank you for helping to create a better world for everyone!

Edit: the finish om all 3 are linseed oil, several coatings and burnishing with #0000 steel wool in between. The original shellacking on the rosewood knob in my opinion hides the beautiful wood rather than emphasizing it, and the liseed oil also have a really nice sheen.
The idea for this project came from the assumption that a razor and a plane is essentially the same thing: a chisel set in a fixed position, and that the Norwegian word høvel is used for both planes and razors.

Beautifully designed and selected aquarium interesting fish talk about good artistic taste of their owner. Black aquarium fish — an unusual and stylish solution. What kinds of exist in black color?
Black aquarium fish instantly attracts the attention. And if you decide to place your aquarium in a minimalist style and chose white or color artificial soil for aquarium, more effective option and does not come up. Fortunately, at the moment, the breeders have dozens of types of black aquarium fish.
As plants are still together with goldfish to contain will not work, because the goldfish eat them cleaned, you'll have a very futuristic composition. A pair of black or veiltail telescopes will look amazing on the white ground of the aquarium.
If your idea involves a nimble flock of small black fish, fun, frolicking in a small aquarium, you should pay attention on fishes of the family poeciliidae . Mollies, swordtails, platys and guppies bred in ceramsite. The black Molly have a uniform, velvety color, and platys and guppies — brilliant blue-green sheen.
All black aquarium fish from the family poeciliidae perfectly get along with each other. Good company they can make black phantom ornatus .
Opteront got its second name — "Black knife" — for an elegant fit body. These fish are completely black with two white rings on the tail. Black knife — awesome fish, well-developed fin on the abdomen allows it to float in any direction.
As such apteronotus quite aggressive, they are recommended to contain one, besides they grow to a decent size in 10-20 cm peaceful, active at night opteront can be a good neighbour for black angelfish, or mollies. Very small guppy adult opteront can take for food.

Q: Parallel Reading/Writing File in c Problem is to read a file of size about 20GB simultaneously by n processes. File contains one string at each line and Length of the strings may or may not be same. String length can be at-most 10 bytes long.
I have a cluster of having 16 nodes. Each node are the uni-processor and having 6GB RAM.I am using MPI to write Parallel codes.
What are the efficient way to partition this big file so that all resources can be utilized ?
Note: The constraints to the partitions is to read file as a chunk of fixed number of lines.
Assume file contains 1600 lines(e.g. 1600 strings). then first process should read from 1st line to 100th line, second process should do from 101th line to 200th line and so on....
As i think that one can't read a file by more than one processes at a time because we have only one file handler that point to somewhere only one string. then how other processes can read parallely from different chunks?

A: So as you're discovering, text file formats are poor for dealing with large amounts of data; not only are they larger than binary formats, but you run into formatting problems like here (seaching for newlines), and everything is much slower (data must be converted into strings).   There can easily be 10x difference in IO speeds between text-based formats and binary formats for numerical data.  But we'll assume for now you're stuck with the text file format.
Presumably, you're doing this partitioning for speed.   But unless you have a parallel filesystem -- that is, multiple servers serving from multiple disks, and a FS that can keep those coordinated -- it's unlikely you're going to get a significant speedup from having multiple MPI tasks reading from the same file, as ultimately these requests are all going to get serialized anyway at the server/controller/disk level.
Further, reading in large blocks of data is going to be much faster than fseek()ing around and doing small reads looking for newlines.
So my suggestion would be to have one process (perhaps the last) read all the data in as few chunks as it can and send the relevant lines to each task (including, finally, itself).  If you know how many lines the file has at the start, this is fairly simple; read in say 2 GB of data, search through memory for the end of the N/Pth line, and send that to task 0, send task 0 a "completed your data" message, and continue.

A: You don't specify if there are any constraints on the partitions, so I'll assume there are none. I'll also assume that you want the partitions to be as close to equal in size as possible.
The naïve approach would be to split the file into chunks of size 20GB/n. The starting position of chunk i wouild be i*20GB/n for i=0..n-1.
The problem with that is, of course, that there's no guarantee that chunk boundaries would fall between the lines of the input file. In general, they won't.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to correct for this. Having established the boundaries as above, shift them slightly so that each of them (except i=0) is placed after the following newline.
That'll involve reading 15 small fragments of the file, but will result in a very even partition.
In fact, the correction can be done by each node individually, but it's probably not worth complicating the explanation with that.

A: I think it would be better to write a piece of code that would get line lengths and distribute lines to processes. That distributing function would work not with strings themselves, but only their lengths.
To find an algorythm for even distribution of sources of fixed size is not a problem.
And after that the distributing func will tell other processes what pieces they have to get for work. Process 0 (distributor) will read a line.  It already knows, that the line num. 1 should be worked by the process 1. ...  P.0 reads line num. N and knows what process has to work with it.
Oh! We needn't optimize the distribution from the start. Simply the distributor process reads a new line from input and gives it to a free process. That's all.
So, you have even two solutions: heavily optimized and easy one.
We could reach even more optimalization if the distributor process will reoptimalize the unread yet strings from time to time.

A: Here is a function in python using mpi and the pypar extension to read the number of lines in a big file using mpi to split up the duties amongst a number of hosts.
def getFileLineCount( file1 ):

Axiom Names Crew for First Private Mission to ISS
January 26, 2021 January 26, 2021 Doug Messier News Leave a comment

HOUSTON (Axiom Space PR) – Axiom Space on Tuesday announced its crew for humankind's first flight of a group of private individuals to a Low Earth Orbit destination – the first-ever entirely private mission proposed to fly to the International Space Station (ISS).
The proposed historic Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) will consist of: former NASA astronaut and Axiom vice president Michael López-Alegría as commander; American entrepreneur and non-profit activist investor Larry Connor as pilot; Canadian investor and philanthropist Mark Pathy; and impact investor and philanthropist Eytan Stibbe of Israel.
López-Alegría, who flew to space four times over a 20-year, record-setting career at NASA and last visited the ISS in 2007, will become the first person to ever command both a civil and a commercial human spaceflight mission. Connor will be the first private mission pilot in the annals of spaceflight.
Pathy will be Canada's 11th astronaut. Stibbe, a close personal friend of Columbia astronaut Ilan Ramon and a former Israeli Air Force pilot, will be Israel's second. Both will fly as mission specialists.
"This collection of pioneers – the first space crew of its kind – represents a defining moment in humanity's eternal pursuit of exploration and progress," López-Alegría said. "I know from firsthand experience that what humans encounter in space is profound and propels them to make more meaningful contributions on returning to Earth. And as much as any astronaut who has come before them, the members of this crew have accomplished the sorts of things in life that equip them to accept that responsibility, act on that revelation, and make a truly global impact.
"I look forward to leading this crew and to their next meaningful and productive contributions to the human story, both on orbit and back home."
Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson will serve as Ax-1's backup commander, while John Shoffner of Knoxville, Tenn. is the backup mission pilot. Carrying a time-honored approach over from the civil spaceflight era to the private one, the prime and backup crews are slated to go through Axiom's full training program together.
Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1)
The proposed Ax-1 mission will include the crew living aboard the U.S. segment of the ISS for approximately eight days, participating in research and philanthropic projects.
Connor, who has founded and led organizations in the real estate, fintech, and non-profit sectors, will collaborate with Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic on research projects. He also intends to provide instructional lessons to students at Dayton Early College Academy in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio.
Pathy is collaborating with the Canadian Space Agency as well as the Montreal Children's Hospital, who are helping identify health-related research projects that could be undertaken during the mission.
Stibbe plans to conduct scientific experiments of Israeli researchers and entrepreneurs coordinated by the Ramon Foundation and the Israel Space Agency at the Ministry of Science & Technology and to undertake educational activities from orbit to inspire Israeli children, youth, and educators.
"We sought to put together a crew for this historic mission that had demonstrated a lifelong commitment to improving the lives of the people on Earth, and I'm glad to say we've done that with this group," Axiom Space President & CEO Michael Suffredini said. "This is just the first of several Axiom Space crews whose private missions to the International Space Station will truly inaugurate an expansive future for humans in space – and make a meaningful difference in the world when they return home."
Axiom Space is the commercial space industry's only full-service orbital mission provider for private and national astronauts. Its all-inclusive offering provides services such as training, transportation, mission planning, hardware development, life support, medical support, crew provisions, safety and hardware certifications, on-orbit operations, and overall mission management.
Precursor to commercializing Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
With the first launch opportunity no earlier than January 2022 aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon, Ax-1 is the first of Axiom Space's "precursor" private astronaut missions to the ISS – subject to approval from NASA and its international partners. Axiom Space and NASA are working together on the final approvals of a formal Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to enable private astronaut missions, with further discussions underway to agree on and authorize the Ax-1 mission profile.
Houston-based Axiom intends to offer private and national astronaut flights to ISS at a rate of up to two per year to align with flight opportunities as they are made available by NASA, while simultaneously constructing its own privately funded space station. The Axiom Station's modules will be attached to the Harmony node of the ISS beginning as early as 2024, a commercial expansion of the orbiting lab for which NASA selected Axiom in January 2020.
At ISS retirement, the Axiom Station will separate to form the world's first free-flying, privately developed, internationally available space station – the central node of a near-future network of research, manufacturing, and commerce in LEO.
About Axiom Space
Axiom Space was founded in 2016 with the vision of a thriving home in space that benefits every human, everywhere. While building and launching the Axiom Segment of the International Space Station to one day form the world's first free-flying commercial space station, Axiom provides access to the ISS today by conducting full- service, end-to-end crewed missions for professional and private astronauts. More information about Axiom can be found at www.axiomspace.com.

It seems like a lifetime has passed since Earl Sweatshirt became on Odd Future standout with his earliest hits such as Chum, Orange Juice with Tyler, The Creator and even the shock value found in his 2011 visual for EARL. Now almost 3 years separated from the last time we heard from the Chicago-born emcee, he has returned with new music in the form of a smooth single entitled, Nowhere2go. Coming to our attention last month after a video surfaced from his performance at the 'Camp Flog Gnaw' music festival, the mind-bending visual assuring us of its release this week was greeted with a warm reception as rumors began to swirl of a forthcoming project before the year ends. Produced by Booliemane & Ade Hakim, Earl floated over the cloudy instrumental with his gripping lyricism expressing his feeling of being lost and ultimately coping with it in various ways. Just under 2 minutes in length, you can stream the latest from Earl at the links below and stay tuned for more details on a potential project in the near future.
The ever-expanding TDE camp never ceases to impress with quality releases and when the duo of Anderson .Paak & Kendrick Lamar are found on the same track, there isn't much need for an explanation. Coming together for the new single Tints, TDE frontman K-Dot looks as if he stepped in Anderson's world right quick for arguably one of the most replayable R&B tracks we've heard this year. Produced by Om'Mas Keith, Matt Tavares & .Paak himself, both artists stunned in their spots with a smooth opening verse from Anderson before Kung Fu Kenny hopped on the scene with a sparkling verse of his own on his god status and demanded respect. Also expected to appear on the 32-year-olds next project dedicated to his hometown of Oxnard, California, you can expect more of TDE's finest to pop-up all over the album and consequently, we're more than okay with that. Make sure to give Tints a shot below and stay tuned for Anderson .Paak's album in Oxnard coming soon to a streaming service near you!
