This paper uses data from two fact-finding exercises in two districts of Karnataka to trace how government and private doctors alike pushed women to undergo hysterectomies. The doctors provided grossly unscientific information to poor Dalit women to instil a fear of "cancer" in their minds to wilfully mislead them to undergo hysterectomies, following which many suffered complications and died. The paper examines a review, made by two separate panels of experts, of women's medical records from private hospitals to illustrate that a large proportion of the hysterectomies performed were medically unwarranted; that private doctors were using highly suspect diagnostic criteria, based on a single ultrasound scan, to perform the hysterectomies and had not sent even a single sample for histopathology; and that the medical records were incomplete, erroneous and, in several instances, manipulated. The paper describes how a combination of patriarchal bias, professional unscrupulousness and pro-private healthcare policies posed a serious threat to the survival and well-being of women in Karnataka.
Increasing privatisation of the public health system and the rise of the unregulated commercialised private sector over the years has moved the discourse of health from the human rights paradigm to the market paradigm. Health and healthcare are no longer a public good, but a market commodity governed by the logic of profit.
The commercialisation of healthcare, the concomitant erosion of medical ethics, and the neo-liberal colouring lent to the already patriarchal content of health policies have turned out to be a lethal mix for women, particularly the poor, Dalit and Adivasi women (1).
The lack of regulation of the medical profession, and gross violations of medical ethics and health/patients' rights have recently been in the forefront of the discourse on public health policy and medical practice. The 92nd report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health raised strong concerns about the erosion of ethical practice among medical practitioners and the failure of professional regulatory bodies, particularly the Medical Council of India (MCI) (2). On the basis of this report, the Supreme Court used its "rare and extraordinary powers under the Constitution" to set up a three-member committee to oversee the functioning of the MCI (3). This was an indictment of the medical profession, which has always enjoyed hegemony on the basis of knowledge, caste, and class.
Among the various forms of violation of health/patients' rights, the issue of medically unwarranted hysterectomy has gained the attention of public health experts, women's groups, policymakers and the judiciary in recent years.
Studies illustrate that an overwhelming proportion of coerced hysterectomies, involving mainly Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Below Poverty Line women, were conducted by private hospitals after state-sponsored insurance schemes came into being (4, 5). In Bihar, an investigation into the alarming number of hysterectomies (5503 out of 14,851 procedures) under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) between 2010 and 2012 in 16 empanelled hospitals found that hysterectomies constituted 37%–50% of all procedures in some hospitals (6). Similar stories emerged from Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh (5, 7).
In fact, there were uncanny similarities across states in terms of the reasons put forward by medical practitioners, the diagnostic methods they used and importantly, the way they instilled the fear of "cancer" among the unsuspecting and gullible poor women, coercing them to undergo hysterectomy immediately (8). Certain studies also draw attention to the gender bias and other structural drivers of reproductive health morbidities, along with poor access to healthcare, as factors that underpin the increasing number of hysterectomies (9).
The present spate of unwarranted hysterectomies in Karnataka must be viewed in the context of increasing privatisation of the public health system, declining use of public health facilities (10) and poor progress on key health indicators (11, 12, 13).
The Karnataka Janaarogya Chaluvali (KJC), an unfunded people's movement for health and healthcare rights, has ensured the presence of health activists in several districts of Karnataka to keep a close vigil on the public health system, as well as the private health sector. The activists undertook two fact-finding exercises after they observed an increase in the number of hysterectomies in their work areas.
The first was undertaken in June 2013 in Hebbalagere, a village of 500-odd households in Chikkamaglur district, about five hours away from Bangalore. In the second exercise, undertaken over a two-month period from June to July 2015, the activists followed the trail of the big bimari (illness), which women said was claiming their uteruses, from one village to the next, and covered 38 villages falling under 19 panchayats in four taluks of the Gulbarga district.
In both fact-finding exercises, initially group discussions were held in the villages. These were followed by interviews with women who had undergone hysterectomy in the past three years. In the villages of Gulbarga, the activists also line-listed all those who had undergone hysterectomy (see Table 1).
Before the group discussions, the KJC activists explained that they wanted to understand why women were undergoing hysterectomy in such large numbers. They clarified that on the basis of the information gathered, a report would be compiled, submitted to the government and widely disseminated. The activists openly voiced their concern about the large number of unwarranted hysterectomies being reported from other states and told the women that they, therefore, wanted to understand the issue in depth in their villages. They sought the women's oral consent for carrying out individual interviews and asked if they could take pictures/makes notes from their medical records. They explained that all information would be compiled and analysed in such a way that the identity of no individual woman or her identifiers would be revealed in the report. The names of the women and their villages were blocked out from the medical records before the latter were submitted to the KJC expert panel for review.
Drawing on data from the two fact-finding reports, we present the details of where the women underwent hysterectomy, their ages, their health problems and struggle with seeking treatment, the response they got and the advice they were given by medical practitioners, patterns in the events preceding hysterectomy, and various kinds of violations of the principles of treatment and medical ethics.
All 15 women interviewed in Hebbalagere village underwent hysterectomy in a government facility, 14 of them in the Birur government sub-divisional hospital (GSDH).
An overwhelming 98% of the 707 line-listed women in the Gulbarga villages underwent hysterectomy in a total of 61 private hospitals. These were located in the towns of Gulbarga, Omerga, Tandur, Jairabad and Bidar. Four of these 61 private hospitals accounted for 344 (55%) of all the hysterectomy cases.
The ages of the women who underwent hysterectomy in Hebbalagere ranged from 26 years to 40 years. In Gulbarga, 51% of the 707 women who underwent hysterectomy were below 35 years of age at the time of the operation and 22.5% were below the age of 30 years.
In the village of Hebbalgere, the women reported that prior to the hysterectomy, they had sought treatment for reproductive health problems such as foul-smelling white discharge, white discharge that was curdy, "passing white discharge like urine", "excessive" bleeding during menstruation, and lower abdominal pain for a duration ranging from 2 months to 5 years. Two women reported that they felt something was "sticking out" and two said they were told that they had "gedde" (tumour).
Of the 82 women interviewed in Gulbarga, 14 complained that they had had excessive bleeding during menstruation, 47 mentioned abdominal pain, 24 had had menstrual irregularities, 15 spoke of white discharge, and 4 said they had had abdominal cramps for a period ranging from 10 days to 3 years. Vomiting, body ache, lack of appetite and giddiness were the other symptoms that were reported.
Women at both sites reported that they had heard of the doctor from their neighbours and acquaintances. The women in Hebbalagere said that the doctor in the Birur GSDH was very popular in the region for his expertise in performing hysterectomy. Therefore, they preferred to visit him directly for their reproductive health problems.
In Gulbarga, the first port of call was a private hospital suggested by the women's neighbours and relatives. Certain private hospitals were popular in a particular geographical location, forming "hysterectomy hubs" that covered towns in the neighbouring states. For instance, 41of the 173 hysterectomies carried out in the Chincholi taluk were performed in one private hospital in the town of Tandur, 30 km away in Telangana. Similarly, 47 of the 231 hysterectomies carried out in the Aland taluk were performed in one private hospital in Omerga, 36 km away in Maharashtra. Very few women here reported having visited the local primary health centre (PHC). Those who had done so gave up very soon because the centres had neither doctors, nor medicines.
Neither in Hebbalagere, nor in the villages of Gulbarga had the women sought treatment through any of the government insurance schemes. None of the women in the two sites reported receiving any information on the schemes.
The women said that the doctor asked them to get admitted immediately, though they had merely gone for a consultation.
Even in Gulbarga, the private doctors whom the women consulted urged them to undergo the surgery immediately.
In some instances, the doctors prescribed medicines for a short period but insisted that a hysterectomy was inevitable.
The women's difficulty in managing menstruation in the absence of access to water and of privacy, and due to the discomfort and disruption it caused in their lives provided the medical fraternity with a fertile ground to plant irrational fears in their minds and create a "demand" for a booming hysterectomy "business".
In Hebbalagere, the women reported paying the government doctor Rs 5000 on an average, with the payment ranging from Rs 2000 to Rs 10,000, minus the costs incurred on medicines or blood. In Gulbarga, the women had spent an average of Rs 26,900 in private hospitals. The amount ranged from Rs 10,000 to Rs 2 lakh. The latter included the amount spent on the treatment of postoperative complications. In both sites, the families concerned had paid out of pocket by taking loans from moneylenders.
In both sites, the women suffered postoperative complications that ranged from minor to major. They required a lengthy period of hospitalisation away from their place of residence. Some women reported sustained fatigue and back pain. Of the 82 women interviewed in Gulbarga, 68 complained of continued health problems even after hysterectomy. These included the symptoms for which they had sought treatment in the first place.
Also, in several instances, the family members of women who had undergone hysterectomy reported grave medical negligence during the surgery, leading to death.
In both sites, there was a serious violation of professional integrity and ethics – hysterectomies were performed even when they were not warranted; the women were provided with grossly unscientific information; a nexus was created to recruit unsuspecting patients; problems evident in the test reports were wilfully ignored; the doctors undertook interventions about which the women were not given prior information; violent, humiliating means were used to extract money/bribes, and so on.
The doctors who performed the hysterectomies seemed to be taking advantage of a huge vacuum in the availability of standard treatment protocols and flouted even the basic principles of good clinical practice.
In the absence of a single standard treatment guideline to assess the women's medical records, the KJC constituted a panel of three practising doctors (two gynaecologists and one community medicine doctor) to independently review the records and assess whether hysterectomy was indicated. It submitted 66 medical records from the private hospitals in Gulbarga, along with interview narratives and the patient's clinical history, to the panel. The panel reviewed the records for the diagnosis and their completeness and quality, and matched the clinical history and symptoms as obtained from the interview narratives with the medical records to arrive at its medical opinion.
In 18 cases (27%), they opined that it was "difficult to comment" as there was "not enough information to give a medical opinion".
In four cases, one doctor opined that hysterectomy was "indicated", while the other two felt "more information was required".
The experts questioned how the doctors had arrived at a diagnosis, considering that they had had only one ultrasound scan carried out.
The panel pointed out that unwarranted hysterectomies were performed among women who were anaemic, endangering their safety further.
Only 15 of the 69 medical records contained a discharge summary.
Following the protest by the KJC, the state Department of Health and Family Welfare constituted a four-member statelevel enquiry committee to probe the issue of hysterectomies in Gulbarga. The team visited four hospitals and met some of the women, including those who had suffered complications.
It concurred that "many hysterectomies were done with no proper indications" and that women who could have been managed conservatively had been subjected to hysterectomy.
The committee took serious objection to the fact that in the 2258 hysterectomies performed, the doctors had not sent any of the specimens for histopathology.
It clearly indicted the private hospitals in Gulbarga of largescale manipulation of records: "OT notes and anaesthetic notes have to be written to avoid any legal liability, but these were totally missing from their records…" It said the operation notes were typed on a piece of paper and consisted of the 12 steps of the hysterectomy procedure, and this was pasted in the case sheets of all the patients.
As per the Karnataka Private Medical Establishments (KPME) Act, 2007, it is mandatory to maintain medical records for a period of five years. However, in this case, the failure to maintain records was a norm, and not only that, it seemed to be a wilful act on the part of the medical practitioners to protect themselves.
The doctors involved had misused their position and power and exploited the women by providing misinformation, instilling irrational fear in their minds and misguiding them to undergo hysterectomies which were medically unwarranted. In Gulbarga, private doctors used various descriptions to convey that the women's kotali (uterus) had become kharab (damaged). For example, they said that the uterus had become "swollen", was "burnt", had turned "green" or "black", had "worms in it", was "stained", and so on.
So we see that the doctors were developing a "network" of patients and others to ensure a steady "supply" of patients and thereby, "sustaining" their "caseloads" and "profits".
In several instances in Gulbarga, the scan reports indicated problems with different organs, such as the kidney, urinary bladder or pancreas, but the doctors did not treat the problem. Instead, they chose to perform hysterectomy. The horror of this approach could not get worse in the case of a 21-year-old woman with cancer of the pancreas. The treating doctor did not even reveal that the patient had cancer, let alone refer her for treatment. Instead, he performed a hysterectomy, following which she developed complications, from which she died three months later.
The medical records of two of the 12 women in Hebbalagere and 14 of the 69 in Gulbarga revealed that hysterectomy was performed along with appendectomy. Several other women had reported undergoing both the surgeries together, but these were not mentioned in their medical records. The women concerned were not given prior information that an appendectomy would also be required; they were told only after the surgery.
During the group discussions in Gulbarga, the women revealed that several people in the community settlements, including men and children, had undergone an "operation to remove appendix worm". Appendectomy seemed to be another intervention being used to make money.
The government's response to any form of violation involving poor, Dalit or adivasi women has been to shift the blame on them, pointing to their "ignorance", "illiteracy", "lack of hygiene" and "poverty" and the practice of "early marriage". It would seem that these problems are of their own making and that it is their fault that they have been exploited. Although these are structural drivers of ill health and disease, medical practitioners and administrators use them to engage in "victim-blaming", akin to the "she asked for it" argument in sexual assault cases. For instance, one of the state enquiry team members asked: "Why didn't the women seek a second opinion? And why did they go to private hospitals if they didn't have money?"This betrayed her elitist position as a medical professional belonging to a dominant caste, the upper class and urban stratum, unconnected with a world that is very different from her own.
The violations brought to light by the fact-finding exercises must be understood in the context of a failing public health system, the erosion of ethics among the medical fraternity and government healthcare policies favouring the predatory private sector.
The prevention and control of reproductive tract infections/sexually transmitted infections under the government's Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) programme seems to have fallen by the wayside. Even though women from Hebbalagere had been suffering from several reproductive health problems for over five years, neither the local PHC, nor the Birur SDGH took any measures to prevent/control them. Women in Gulbarga had stopped going to the PHCs, which were reeling under acute shortages of medicines and staff, including doctors. In the absence of any meaningful engagement with the community, the women had no information on the various symptoms they were suffering from, their causes or ways to prevent them. This erosion of the preventive/promotive aspect of the public health system was conducive to an increase in the incidence of reproductive health problems. This, in turn, fuelled a "demand" for curative care, which the medical practitioners literally cashed in on.
The fact-finding exercise both in Birur and Gulbarga exposed how the medical profession (whether private or government) had turned into a predatory force, seeking to make money from the suffering of the most vulnerable. The Indian medical fraternity has gained global notoriety for engaging in unethical practices and adopting irrational diagnostic and treatment methods, all with the aim of increasing profits (15). Be it in government or private settings, there is no regulation or oversight of their functioning, whether in the matter of adherence to standards, ethics or ensuring patients' safety and rights. With no protection available against exploitation, the only "choice" that patients seem to have is to "choose" the place of exploitation – government or private facility.
In Karnataka, the acute shortage of doctors in the public health system is a factor that in itself gives them a sort of immunity from disciplinary measures. For instance, the district collector of a certain district publicly admitted that he could not suspend a medical officer from a community health centre, even though he was facing charges of neglect, because he was among the only two gynaecologists in the entire district. Similarly, the government has not initiated action against the doctor in the Birur GSDH even 15 months after the submission of the enquiry committee's report. Government doctors in Karnataka are allowed to have a private practice "after working hours" in any one private hospital, thus erasing all distinctions between "government" and "private" doctors.
The government is unable to discipline its own doctors and does precious little to regulate private practitioners. Even though the KPME Act, 2007 is in force, it merely serves as a means of registering private medical establishments and its mechanisms for oversight or the enforcement of standards and/or quality of care are poor. Importantly, it has no provision for receiving or acting on complaints related to any kind of violations of patients' rights.
It seemed that little could be expected from professional bodies such as the Indian Medical Association (IMA). Following media reports of the hysterectomies, the IMA of Gulbarga expressed solidarity with the doctors and denied that any of its members were engaging in medical malpractices.
With the Medical Council of India itself at the centre of several controversies, the crisis within the medical profession has reached epic proportions, with dangerous ramifications on the rights of patients, particularly those from vulnerable groups and communities.
Instead of strengthening regulatory mechanisms to protect patients' rights and curb malpractice, the government is presently expanding the managed care model by empanelling the very same unregulated, unaccountable private hospitals under various schemes (16, 17). In the process, it is providing private hospitals increasing access to marginalised communities, which are becoming victims of these institutions' exploitative, profiteering policies. A recent study in Karnataka illustrates not only how private hospitals empanelled under insurance schemes were cherry-picking patients, but also how the authorities concerned felt helpless when it came to controlling profiteering by the hospitals (18). The fact that the government is empanelling unregulated private hospitals over which it has no control is tipping the balance against democratic, transparent, accountable people-centric systems.
The KJC's fact-finding exercises revealed how a medical procedure such as a hysterectomy has morphed into a "business strategy" in the "medical/healthcare market", with poor women's bodies being trafficked for profit. Governments that ought to protect citizens from such predatory motives have not merely failed in their duty, but have turned accomplice in these crimes by ushering in policies that encourage exploitation.
A patriarchal, casteist and commercialised medical profession, which has reduced women to their constituent parts, either pathologising or trivialising their health issues to suit its "business" interests, has exacerbated the misogynist culture that views women's bodies and biological processes as polluting. The medical profession, which represents the hegemonic power of gender, caste and class, is on a collision course with the democratic socialist paradigm of healthcare and poses a formidable barrier to the evolution of socially just, egalitarian, ethical, scientific healthcare systems and practices.
So long as the profit motive drives the provision of healthcare, the most vulnerable will continue to fall prey to the predatory motives of the system. Radical policy shifts aimed at reining in the medical profession, transforming medical education, disallowing "profit" in healthcare, rolling back public–private partnerships, and strengthening the public health system meaningfully to regulate and deliver healthcare are required urgently to reverse the commercialisation of healthcare. Enacting a broad-based law to protect health/patients' rights and to bring the medical profession under the ambit of criminal prosecution is of critical importance to ensure the safety of citizens, particularly those most vulnerable.

What is Space Shuttle? 10 Space Shuttles That Carry Astronauts to Space
Bu haber 13 Eylül 2022 - 21:46 'de eklendi ve kez görüntülendi.
Also called space shuttle , spaceship or space transportation system. The space shuttle is a partially reusable rocket-launched, manned spacecraft designed to launch satellites and transport people and materials between Earth and a space station.
Officially named the Space Transport System (STS) by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this system first went into space on April 12, 1981, and made 135 flights until the program ended in 2011.
The space shuttle can carry satellites and other vehicles for deployment in space in the orbiter's cargo hold. It can also rendezvous with orbiting spacecraft to allow astronauts to serve, refuel, or embark, or retrieve it to return to Earth.
Also , the space shuttle can act as a space platform to conduct orbital experiments and observe Earth and cosmic objects for about two weeks.
On some missions it was carrying a European-made pressure plant. Even biological and physical investigations of shuttle crew members are being conducted in weightless conditions. For example: Spacelab. Spacelab was a reusable lab developed by ESA and used in certain spaceflights flown by the Space Shuttle .
SpaceX's Crew Dragon, which recently took off as a test flight with 2 astronauts from the International Space Agency in Florida, became the 9th manned flight into space.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine underlined at the SpaceX launch , called Demo-2, on May 1 , that 4 of the manned flights carried out so far were made by the American space shuttle .
Let's take a look at these 10 Space Shuttles;
Vostok (USSR, 1961)

Soviet Russia, together with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, completed the first manned space flight by enabling the Vostok capsule to make one orbit around the Earth on April 12, 1961.
Vostok was able to carry a gas tank and astronauts in it. There was a window for the astronaut to observe the Earth from where his feet were. Vostok had no landing gear and during landing Yurin was ejected from the capsule. But Soviet Russia withheld this information because it wanted it to be seen as a real space flight.
Between 1961 and 1963, 6 Vostok capsules were launched, the last of which was realized by Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space .
Mercury ( US, 1961)

America had to wait until the February 1962 flight of John Glenn for Russia to make the first flight in the cold space war, which increased with the Gagarin flight. Mercury's other capsules, which had conical ends and cylindrical bodies, were also unique in their names. LibertyBell 7, Sigma 7 and Aurora 7. Mercury made its last flight in 1963.
Voskhod (USSR, 1964)

Voskhod has set a different milestone from Vostok as it can carry more crew and allow spacewalking. In 1964, a pilot carried a doctor and aerospace engineer into space without wearing a spacesuit .
Voskhod 2 completed its last flight in 1965 with Alexei Leonov's 12-minute spacewalk outside the capsule.
Gemini (US,1965)

Just as Voskhod was inspired by Vostok, Gemini made its flight in March 1965 (a few days after Voskhod2 completed its mission). Gemini 2 can carry astronauts, but its main goal was to figure out how to place spacecraft into orbit . This goal is an important issue for NASA for the planned moon landing afterwards.
With the Gemini 4 launched afterwards, Ed White completed the first non-capsule march by the Americans, which lasted approximately 23 minutes. Making the final with Gemini 12 in November 1966, NASA thought they were ready to go to the moon.
Soyuz (USSR / Russia, 1967)

Although 1 cosmonaut died due to the parachute not opening during the landing, the Soyuz, which made its first flight in 1967, has 3 compartments. The astronaut's habitat and mechanism for connecting to other spacecraft, the return capsule to Earth, and the propulsion module, which carries fuel, panels, etc. in the other part.
The capsules, which carried more than 150 crew members into space, also visited the Salyut and Mir stations and were finally retired in 2011.
Apollo / Lunar Module (US, 1968)

In the last leg of the cold war race, the aim was to put humans on the moon, and this was the most important goal of the Apollo program, which emerged with the experiences learned from the Mercury and Gemini capsules.

In 1967, due to the explosion of the shuttle during the preliminary control, the time required for the launch of Apollo 1 was postponed for 2 years due to the accident reporting and improvements after the accident that caused the death of the 3 crew members inside due to the test flight.
With Apollo 11, the expected came true and the moon landing took place with 3 modules providing command, service and landing.
However, on the 3rd day of the later 1970 Apollo 13 flight, there was an explosion in the service module, approximately 322,000 km from Earth, and the crews were transported safely with the Lifeboat plan. Apollo made its last flight in 1975.
Space Shuttle (US, 1981)

Restarting its crewed flights in 1980, NASA planned 5 flights to space between 1981 and 2011 with 135 crew members. Two of the flights, mostly 7 crew members, resulted in fatal accidents. 1986 Challenger and 2003 Columbia flight. These accidents contributed to NASA's deep-rooted safety culture, but did not prevent the remaining 3 services from being cancelled.
Shenzhou (China, 2003)

Shenzhou Translated by NASA, "divine ship" is the name given to the spacecraft launched in 2003 by China, the 3rd country that has 3 modules similar to the Soyuz spacecraft and can send people into space. It remained in orbit for a day, shifting its focus to their rendezvous with two independent space stations.
In total, 6 Shenzhou spacecraft continued to transport humans until 2016.
Crew Dragon (US, 2020)

Crew Dragon is based on the Dragon program, a cargo plane launched by SpaceX in 2012. It made its first uncrewed test flight to the international station in 2019. Dragon is different from other planes with its robot arms that will attach itself to the station , enough space for 7 people to sit in it, and life support systems.

Although they were short flights, they provided the transport of people to space in 2 vehicles. NASA's X-15 aircraft could only reach an altitude of 108 km after 199 flights in the 1960s. However, it is very important to see that an aircraft-like vehicle can enter the atmosphere.
The second flight was carried out in 2004 with the Space Ship One commercial vehicle. Space Ship Two then took its place and carried the first non-pilot passenger into space in 2019.

The design of new vehicles and the number of tests to orbit are increasing day by day. Although the uncrewed Boeing flight did not reach the space station in 2019, the company says they will repeat this flight before planning a crewed flight later. Unlike CrewDragon, the Starliner capsule was designed from the ground up.
On the international platform, China conducted a test flight in May, which it has not yet named. The purpose of the flight is to facilitate the construction of a 3-module space station.
New Shepard; It is conducting tests of a semi-orbital touristic vehicle called Blue Origin, which is closer to the earth. The company, founded by JeffBezos, has made dozens of uncrewed flights, and last year it announced a human flight.

Q: Calibration Curve v. Linear Dynamic Range We have a piece of analytical chemistry equipment (a mass spectrometer for those who care), that has the capacity to generate a "Response value" (Area under the curve) that correlates to the amount of a particular substance in the tested sample.  We analyze unknown samples and then validate with a wide range of external standard curves.
This is a common process in science but our process has run into some issues.  What has been recommended to us is to simply plot all the values, calculate the linear approximation, input the concentration of the unknown and solve for the unknown concentration... But the instrument is a bit more robust and has given us trouble (read: the instrument has a theoretically very wide linear dynamic range but we have values that fall all over the range)
The problem comes because the standard curves are produced via serial dilution and over a wide range (1ppm-1000ppm or similar 10^3+ ranges), the experimental values at the low end of the range are less than the discrepancy of the intercept.. causing all sorts of negative values.
I solve for the ideal curves by < 20% difference from expected across the ENTIRE curve.
So what I've done:

*

*Linear approximations

*2nd and 3rd order approximations

*solving for ALL possible linear approximations that are minimum 5 pt curves and only interpolated..(I did this with an excel macro that I wrote)

Basically it's all getting messy because some of the values fall on ALL parts of the calibration range...
Any ideas of how you'd handle a highly variable data set (with 200+ distinct analyses per sample)?

Thailand attracts expats from all over the world. But if you're American, you must consider a few things before relocating here. The US government taxes you on income no matter where you live. So I'd like to tell you what happens with your Social Security Tax when you move to Thailand.
So, what is Social Security? Social Security is a government system you and your employer make equal contributions into. Social Security gives you with a pension when you retire and gives benefits if you lose your job. The IRS collects taxes and puts them in Social Security Trusts. Two Social Security Trusts exist. The first is the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund. And the second is the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund. You have to pay into the system for at least 40 quarters—about 10 years—to get Social Security benefits.
But if you make more than $127,000 (in 2017) the US IRS won't tax you. And the benefits you get depend on how much income you earned while you worked. If you work for a US company, for example, your employer deducts Social Security contributions from your wages. But if you employ yourself, you pay Social Security and Medicare at a rate of 15.3%. This is Self-Employment Tax.
The US government signed treaties called totalization agreements with other countries. If you move to and work in a country that signed a totalization agreement with the US, you give to the Social Security system of that country. When you retire, any contributions you made go into US Social Security.
But if you work in Thailand, the Social Security systems work independently. You don't contribute to US Social Security while paying your taxes in Thailand. You still have to pay Social Security Tax. The IRS exempts wages paid on or after the effective date of totalization agreements. You can check the IRS website for a detailed explanation of the consequences of Social Security Tax abroad.
If you work for an American corporation, your employer pays their share of Social Security and withholds your share. The corporation reports these withholding on your W-2 at the end of the year.
But working for a non-US corporation, you won't pay Social Security Tax or Self-Employment Tax. You pay Social Security only if working for an "American employer" as defined by IRC 3306(j)(3). IRC 3306(j)(3) doesn't make a distinction based on the shareholders of such corporation. And they don't include foreign corporations.
In case you want to know more specific advice for taxation in your case, please contact us.
If you work for yourself in Thailand, you can exclude up to $101,300 of foreign-earned income. You'll have to use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) to do so. But only if you meet the physical presence test or the bona fide residence test. Income earned in a foreign country denotes "foreign-earned." For example, if you're American but work in Thailand, you earned foreign income. If you're American and work in New York City, your earned US income.
To qualify for the physical presence test you must spend 330 days out of a consecutive 12-month period in Thailand. The consecutive 12-month period doesn't have to be the 12 calendar months. It could start on March 2016 and end in February 2017. You can prorate the amount of money to exclude on your taxes. To do so, add the amount of time you spent abroad during the year.
The bona fide residence test is harder. You can't get bona fide residence just by living in a foreign country for a year. You need to be a resident of a foreign country for an uninterrupted tax year. But the length and nature of your job dictates if you'll get the FEIE.
You need to spend at least 180 days to become a resident of a country. But the time doesn't qualify you for the FEIE. If you spend more than 180 days in Thailand, you are a Thai resident. But you can't exclude the Thai earned income using the FEIE.
The FEIE won't save your from paying the Self-Employment Tax. Self-Employment Tax is like Social Security and Medicare for those who are self-employed. You can learn more about the self-employment tax through the International Revenue Service.
To avoid paying the Self-Employment Tax, create a corporation. You pay yourself and then use the FEIE on your personal tax return. But you have to file form 5471. Form 5471 resembles a corporate tax return. But since the US doesn't have jurisdiction over a foreign corporation, it asks the US shareholder to attach the form to their personal tax return instead. And you're not paying Self-Employment Tax anymore.
It's hard to file form 5471. So contact a company like 1040 Abroad. They deal with US international tax. Many local Enrolled Agents and CPAs don't know how to deal with 5471s. And keep in mind: A $10,000 fine comes with any errors or un-filed 5471s.
If you want to stop paying Self-Employment Tax, create your own Board of Interest corporation in Thailand. Or create a corporation in a foreign country like Hong Kong.
You should consider the long-term consequences of paying or not paying Social Security. The system benefits you. But it's your choice to opt out of paying Self-Employment Tax (Social Security) and not claim the benefits.
If you're a digital nomad, you might be interest in working for a company that "hires" you and "bills" your clients. This allows you to get a work permit under Thai Immigration laws. But the IRS will still see you as self-employed, rather than an employee of the company.

Hands On with the LG V30
Aug 31, 2017, 2:11 AM by Rich Brome updated Aug 31, 2017, 2:12 AM
The V30 is LG's new top-end flagship, for people who want something even more cutting-edge than the G6. As with previous V-series phones, it sports a huge screen. But the incredibly tiny bezels let LG make the screen much larger, but the phone much smaller, compared to last year's V20. LG has taken all of the features of the G6 and improved them, including a better dual-camera setup, faster processor, and OLED screen capable of VR. The V series continues to support advanced audio, but the V30 adds advanced video features as well, including a feature similar to RAW mode for video. We spent some time with the V30; read on for our first impressions.
LG Announces the V30 Flagship with FullVision Display and Floating Info Bar
Aug 31, 2017, 2:00 AM by Eric M. Zeman updated Aug 31, 2017, 3:08 AM
LG today fully revealed the V30, a phone it has been teasing in bits and pieces over the last few weeks. This flagship-class handset has a metal frame and glass front and rear panels. The V30 does away with the secondary display that adorned the front of the V10 and V20. In its place, LG created what it calls the Floating Bar, a semi-transparent strip that gives V30 owners access to frequently used functions, such as contacts and settings. The phone is among the first to use a plastic OLED FullVision display, though it is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The 6-inch panel has 2,880 by 1,440 pixels, or a 2:1 (18:9) aspect ratio, and nearly non-existent side bezels. LG reduced the phone's upper and lower bezels by 20% and 50%, respectively, when compared to the V20. The phone makes use of an f/1.6 aperture camera at 16 megapixels, a first according to LG. The f/1.6 lens allows 25% more light to reach the sensor when compared to an f/1.8 lens. Further, LG is adopting what it calls a Crystal Clear Lens that's made of glass, rather than plastic. The glass permits more light to travel through it, while also allowing for better color reproduction. Like the V20 and G6, the V30 has a dual camera array with one wide-angle lens and one standard-angle lens with optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, and electronic image stabilization. The secondary lens has a 13-megapixel resolution at f/1.9 and 120-degree field of view. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor at its core with 4 GB of memory and 64 GB of storage (the V30+ jumps to 128 GB of storage). Other specs include a 3,400mAh battery with wireless charging and an IP68 rating for protection from water and dust. The Always On Display is more customizable than before and includes shortcuts to Quick Tools, the music player, and even photos. Additional software features baked into LG UX 6.0 include Face Recognition that LG says unlocks the phone instantly even when the display is off. Voice Recognition now uses a combination of the user's voice and self-generated keywords to unlock the phone without any button presses. The V30's camera gains access to Graphy, a tool for applying professional-looking styles to photos and V30 owners will be able to create GIFs or movies by pasting together photos and/or video files. Last, LG said the V30 adopts a 32-bit advanced hi-fi quad DAC from ESS Technology, which reproduces music as close to the original source as possible. It includes high-resolution audio streaming thanks to technology from MQA Ltd. On the recording front, the V30's HD Audio Recorder can use the handset's audio receiver as a microphone. LG says this lets the phone record a wider dynamic range of sound, "from a whisper to a thunderstorm," without distortion. The LG V30 will go on sale in Korea starting September 21 with other markets, including North America, to follow soon thereafter. Pricing was not immediately disclosed.
LG Promises the V30 Will 'Delight Ears Everywhere' with New Hi-Fi Powers
Aug 28, 2017, 7:23 AM by Eric M. Zeman
LG today said its forthcoming V30 flagship handset will be its most advanced device yet when it comes to audio reproduction and recording. To start, the phone adopts a 32-bit advanced hi-fi quad DAC from ESS Technology. It builds on LG's original hi-fi quad DAC, which reproduces music as close to the original source as possible. The ESS Sabre ES9218P audio processor introduces digital filters and sound presets. According to LG, the digital filters improve the pre- and post-ringing of the impulse response in such a way that they can be easily customized by end users. This works hand in hand with the new pre-programmed presets (enhanced, detailed, live, and bass), allowing even inexpensive headphones to reproduce high-quality music. Moreover, the hi-fi quad DAC manages the left and right audio signals separately, dynamically adjusting balance to ensure listeners remain centered. The new DAC cuts the distortion rate down to 0.0002%, meaning it reproduces the cleanest and most accurate signal possible. Last, the V30 introduces high-resolution audio streaming thanks to technology from MQA Ltd. LG says its advanced hi-fi quad DAC and MQA tech will work together to bring the best sound to music streamed from sources such as Spotify and Google Play Music. On the recording front, the V30's HD Audio Recorder can use the handset's audio receiver as a microphone (Receiver-as-a-Mic or RAM). LG says this lets the phone record a wider dynamic range of sound, "from a whisper to a thunderstorm," without distortion. LG is expected to announce the V30 on August 31 during the IFA trade show in Berlin.
Hands On with the Motorola edge (2022)
Motorola has a new $500 phone and it's kind of a big deal. While Motorola has been successful with more affordable phones lately, not since 2017 have all of the big three US carriers offered a Motorola phone over $400.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC PARTIAL RESTRICTIONS EXTENSION: CORPS MARSHAL CHARGES PERSONNEL TO GEAR UP FOR EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT
omolara olaniyi May 20, 2020 | 35 | | COVID-19
2 min read May 20, 2020 Lara Olaniyi
Pursuant to the Presidential Task Force's conveyance of President Muhammadu Buhari's directive on extending the eased lockdown for another two weeks in the bid to further contain and control the spread of the disease for another 14 days effective from 1:59 Monday 18 May, 2020; the Corps Marshal Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has ordered Officers and men across the country to gear up and align completely with the ongoing enforcement on restrictions and physical distancing amongst vehicle occupants and carry out the Presidential directives with all vigour so as to contribute immensely in flattening the curve of the pandemic.
According to Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, the Corps Marshal's directive is to reiterate the commitment of the Federal Road Safety Corps towards sustaining existing collaborations with the Federal and State Governments in the fight against the ravaging Coronavirus, and further ensure that the order on restrictions are diligently and effectively enforced with all sense of professionalism, civility and resilience.
While charging the Commanding Officers to ensure adequate deployment of personnel on all routes, the Corps Marshal noted inter alia that as the Corps moves into the first week of the extension of phase one of the eased lockdown regime, personnel must show diligence and ensure total enforcement of all the measures in place. Particularly, the ban on interstate travels, physical distancing amongst commuters, and policy on use of masks/covering.
Further to the afforementioned, he also sustained the initial order that no vehicle should be allowed to violate the directives as contained. According to him, except the vehicles and the occupants are accredited essential workers with proof of identification, Commanding Officers must ensure that the vehicles are impounded and the occupants handed over to the Police for prosecution in the Court of Law for contravening the Presidential Order on restrictions, social distance and stay at home.
He therefore advised citizens to comply with the restriction order or face the wrath of the law.
Oyeyemi also advised essential workers who might be tempted to compromise with the social distance directives in vehicles to restrain from such as the Virus does not discriminate nor spare anybody irrespective of class or profession.

WA boy suffers second-degree burns after packet of ring caps for toy cap gun 'explodes' | 7NEWS
A young Perth boy has been left with second-degree burns after his Halloween toy "exploded".

The 11-year-old High Wycombe boy was "opening a packet of ring caps to load into his cap gun when several of the capsules exploded," the Government of Western Australia Department of Industry Regulation and Safety said.
He was taken to hospital and treated for second-degree burns to his right hand.
"It was a shock, we've used these for years as have thousands of people so for us to have it happen, it was a real shock," his mother Vicki Bowden told 7NEWS.
The retailer has pulled the product from shelves as WA Consumer Protection investigates the "Halloween-related incident"
The supplier and the retailer of these items will be interviewed as part of the investigation, Consumer Protection acting executive director Penny Lipscombe said.
"We need to establish very quickly if this incident is a one-off occurrence or if there is something fundamentally wrong with the product or its packaging that might render it dangerous to others," Lipscombe said.
"We will be reporting the results of our investigation to the ACCC which is the national agency that oversees product safety in Australia. In the meantime, the retailer has voluntarily removed the product from sale both in-store and online."
Alongside the investigation into the gunpowder refills, a "general warning" has been issued to the public about hidden Halloween dangers.
"There are risks associated with many other Halloween products of which consumers need to be aware before 31 October," the department said.
Lipscombe detailed the dangers that toys commonly enjoyed on the spooky holiday can pose.
"Novelties that light up and flashing objects such as jack-o-lanterns, cauldrons, fake candles, torches and wands are often powered by button batteries and unfortunately the statistics on button batteries are concerning," she said.
"In Australia, one child a month is seriously injured after swallowing or inserting a button battery, with some of them sustaining lifelong or even fatal injuries.
"That's why it's so important when buying button battery-powered Halloween novelties that you check the battery compartment is secured with a screw or similar fastener to prevent little ones gaining access, and that they are hardy enough to withstand rough treatment from little trick-or-treaters.
"Also check that any toys or novelties are age appropriate and don't pose choking hazards."
It's not just the toys that can be dangerous - the warning also extended to include some elements of Halloween costumes.
"If you or your children will be wearing black or other dark-coloured costumes for Halloween, add glow sticks or a reflective strip to your costumes and carry a torch to ensure drivers and other trick-or-treaters can see you," she said.
"Costumes are a key part of Halloween celebrations, but if going to be used outside, it's vitally important to make sure they are visible.
"Carrying around open heat sources such as jack-o-lanterns and heaters can pose a hazard so you should check costume labels for their fire risk and choose those marked 'flame resistant' or 'fire resistant'.
"Usually the Halloween look involves fake tattoos, face paint, makeup, or fake blood, but ensure they come with ingredients labels and keep them handy throughout the night.
"If someone in your group has an allergic reaction to a product, having a list of ingredients available for doctors can save them vital time when determining how to treat them."

Coca-Cola brings back 'New Coke' 34 years after first failure
It's the most famous soft drink brand on the planet — but in the 80s, Coca-Cola made a catastrophic decision that almost destroyed everything.
Alexis Carey@carey_alexis
Coke is going 'healthy'!
Australia's major non-alcoholic beverages companies have made a pledge, and your favourite sugary drinks are about to be a lot less sweet!
Coca-Cola is a global powerhouse — but it was almost destroyed by a disastrous few months in the 80s. Picture: Charles Kelly/Associated PressSource:AP
In 1985, Madonna's Like a Virgin dominated the airwaves. Back to the Future was the biggest box-office hit. And Coke released a new product so disastrous it nearly ruined the entire company.
In what has gone down in the history books as one of the biggest marketing blunders of all time, the 99-year-old brand decided to change the formula of its iconic drink for the first time.
The backlash to New Coke was as swift as it was brutal, with outraged Coke fans lashing the company over the unprecedented move.
Grassroots campaigns to bring back old Coke popped up across the US, collecting signatures, creating anti-New Coke merchandise and opening up hotlines to push the agenda.

In short, it was a PR nightmare, and the outcry was so intense the failed beverage was ditched just 79 days after launching, and it has remained as a cautionary tale for other brands to this day, even featuring front and centre in Sweden's aptly-named Museum of Failure.
But in May this year, New Coke made headlines once again 34 years on from that initial disaster, after the company revealed it was bringing the controversial drink back for a limited time only as part of a partnership with Netflix's Stranger Things.
It was a natural fit, as the show's third season was set in 1985 — and this time around, New Coke was a hit.
THE NEW COKE DEBACLE
The failed New Coke experiment was the direct result of arch rival Pepsi's famous Pepsi Challenge marketing promotion, which began in 1975.
It involved asking consumers to carry out a blind taste test of both Pepsi and Coke — which revealed most Americans actually preferred the taste of Pepsi, which contained more sugar, even though Coke was the market leader.
Coke responded to that information by fiddling with its famous recipe — and making it even sweeter.
However, according to Queensland University of Technology retail expert Dr Gary Mortimer, what they didn't take into consideration was the "brand effect".
The new product lasted just 79 days before the company switched back to the original. Picture: iStockSource:istock
While people liked the taste of Pepsi better, they identified more strongly with Coke and had greater loyalty to that brand, so when the old recipe vanished, people hit back.
"They still wanted to buy the red Coke can because it's iconic, it has been around for longer, and people grew up with it as kids," Dr Mortimer told news.com.au.
"Don't mess with the original — the same would be true of Tim Tams, just don't mess with it.
"The fundamental error they made was dumping the original based on data from a blind taste test."
Less than three months later, Coca-Cola announced it would return to the old formula, which was rebranded as Coca-Cola "Classic", while and New Coke quietly disappeared.
"The simple fact is that all of the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on a new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the depth and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people," Coca-Cola Company president Donald Keough said in a press conference at the time, according to CBS.
Dr Mortimer said Coke had learnt from its past mistake and now regularly brought out new products such as Diet Coke, Coke Zero and flavours such as cherry and orange — but without ditching the all-important original.
NEW COKE 2.0
But in late May, Coca-Cola released a limited number of cans of New Coke as part of the Stranger Things package, and an "upside-down" Stranger Things-inspired vending machine also popped up in select US cities to dispense free cans for a limited time.
At the time, a spokesman for Coca-Cola Australia told News Corp the limited range of New Coke would not be coming to Australia — but Dr Mortimer said the release still would have been enough to "absolutely" boost profits.
"They would have been raking it in, and it also would have helped to increase brand awareness, particularly among a younger audience who might not drink Coke. They may just end up picking up an extra bit of the market," he said.

He said while the initial release of New Coke was a massive flop, the decision to bring it back now temporarily was a genius move, as it capitalised on the "nostalgia effect" of the 80s and piggybacked on the popularity of the hit TV series.
"They want people to remember the 1980s and to reflect back on it — there would have been conversations started around the dinner table and at barbecues," he said.
"It also created the FOMO effect, as it was launched in very, very small quantities before they ditched it, which made people think they needed to get in and grab it."
He said a similar phenomenon was seen by the revival of other iconic, discontinued items like Pollywaffle chocolate bars.
"Sometimes when a brand disappears there's a huge outcry with people wanting it to be brought back. There's an outpouring of comments on social media which then gets mainstream media coverage — people go crazy for it," he said.
"They would also have good knowledge of who Stranger Things is being watched by and I suspect a lot of younger people watch it but also middle-aged people who reflect back and remember."

Home Development 50% reservation for women in Himachal Panchayats
50% reservation for women in Himachal Panchayats
Shimla: The Himachal Pradesh government is in the process of amending the state Panchayati Raj Act to provide 50% reservation to women. The act will be amended during the budget session starting on 4th March.
"The Panchayati Raj Act will be amended in the budget session which begins on March 4. The amendment would provide 50 per cent reservation to women in the PRIs. At present 30 per cent reservation has been provided to women," the spokesman said.
The amendment comes as a fulfillment of the promise made by BJP in its election manifesto, wherein it had promised to increase representation of women in the PRIs to 50 per cent after coming to power in the state.
Meanwhile, talking to the media persons in Shimla on Monday, In-charge of State Affairs of BJP Staya Pal Jain said that the BJP was also in the process of implementing the 33 per cent quota fixed for women in within the party structure that was decided in the National Executive meeting of the party held in January this year.
"A letter asking implementation of the provision was sent to the Himachal BJP by the central leadership of the party in February and the process of giving due representation to women in party's frontal organisations to village level samitis will be completed in next three months. In this manner at least 15000 women will get an opportunity to represent the party at various levels across the state", said Jain.

Investors respond to India's changing tastes
India's food and beverages market saw around US$100 million of investment in 2017, with the amount of space dedicated to the sector rising to a record 18%
Ramesh Nair
Restaurant operators in India are on the hunt for investment as they attempt to satisfy a growing consumer base hungry for more choice.
India's food and beverages (F&B) market saw around US$100 million of investment in 2017, with the amount of space dedicated to the sector rising to a record 18 percent, according to JLL.
"Restaurants in India are witnessing exponential growth," says Riyaaz Amlani, CEO, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality. His company signed an investment deal with L Catterton Asia, the global consumer brands investor, last year.
"For operators, this is an opportune time to plan their growth strategy, collaborate and expand," he says.
Varun Tuli, founder of Yum Yum Cha, is another restaurateur looking for funding from private-equity groups. "We are going to raise funds very soon and are in the preparatory phase," says Tuli.
The expansion of restaurant chains is being driven by a major shift in consumer behavior.
"The most visible change is that eating out is the new normal, unlike earlier days when people went to restaurants only for celebrations or when they had a meeting," says Rahul Singh, president of National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), who owns the Beer Café chain, and runs 37 restaurants in India.
This has made the F&B space the fastest growing segment within retail, says Ramesh Nair, CEO and Country Head, JLL India. "Some leading F&B retailers are planning a new store every month."
A number of restaurant chains are expanding after raising funds from private equity, such as Massive Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. and Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality, which own brands such as Masala Library, Made in Punjab, Farzi Café, Pa Ya, MasalaBar and Social, Smoke House Deli, Mocha, Slink & Bardot, respectively.
Mall developers are also courting restaurant operators as a strong F&B offering is critical to contend with expanding online competition.
"Malls are increasingly looking at growing the F&B space. Such deals are increasing," says Randeep Bajaj, Owner of Amour – The Patio Restaurant in New Delhi.
However, expansion has its own challenges, including high rental costs and delayed approvals.
A new company looking to set up a restaurant needs almost 15 different types of approvals. These include a food license, health trade license, Fire Security Certificate, environmental clearance, Public Liability Insurance and Shop and Establishment Registration. In the current scenario, the approval process takes anywhere between four to six months, delaying the business viability and the profitability in the medium term.
The country's restaurant business is likely to grow at a rate of over 15 percent till 2020 while the food services industry will be worth Rs 4.98 trillion (US$73.4 billion) by 2021, according to a report by the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI).
"With real estate fundamentals of the F&B segment remaining strong and continuously improving, there is scope for more investment in coming times," says Nair at JLL.

The family is in trouble.
Family life is changing, and the changes are troubling. There's no question that the nuclear family – the social unit of dad, mom and the kids – is showing signs of decline. No matter which metric we use – out-of-wedlock births, abortions, divorce, single-parent families —the numbers are depressing.
There are two ways of looking at the dramatic changes we've seen in family life over the past several decades. Many people think of the family as an evolving social institution. In this view of the family, different isn't worse, just different.
Take, for instance, divorce. Once rare, divorce is now commonplace. Since we all know someone who has been divorced or who has grown up in a family that has experienced divorce, the break-up of a family just isn't the grand tragedy that it once was. The adults move on. Kids cope. Enough with the lamentations already.
The other way of looking at these changes in family life is that they constitute a kind of deterioration, a slipping away from the ideal. While only the most naïve would argue that there ever was a golden age of family life (nostalgia has a way of painting everything in a rosy hue), there is no question that family life now is far more fractured than it used to be. And this is not good. Family, says this view, is the one place where stability and support ought to be the norm, and when families fail, everyone loses – the kids, the exes, the in-laws, even society in general.
So what kind of social institution is the family? How much does it matter that family life is changing in these ways?
The origin of the family, as the story is told in the first chapters of ancient book of Genesis, begins with God creating all things and declaring His work to be "very good." What God had created was wonderful and marvelous, "very good" indeed.
So Adam became the world's first scientist, classifying and naming the animals. As he named the animals, though, he slowly became aware of two things: first, they all came to him in pairs, they all had mates. And second, none of them was like him. There was a vast gap of quality between the man and all of the animals, even the most intelligent among them. And the man at last understood that he was, indeed, alone. There was no creature anywhere that he could call a companion.
That's when he fell asleep. Weary and discouraged and lonely, he fell into a profound sleep.
In other words, God's design included diversity from the outset. God didn't make another creature exactly like the man; He made someone intriguingly different.
So which version of the family — the social evolution model or the biblical model — which model corresponds most closely to our experience? Which version of family life works best in the real world?
Conventional wisdom used to hold that the children of broken homes are resilient. They'll adjust, find some way to cope. But long-term studies of children from broken homes are telling a different, darker story. The titles of books based on those studies are uniformly bleak: The Love They Lost: Living with the Legacy of our Parents' Divorce (Stephanie Staal), The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce (Wallerstein, Lewis and Blakeslee), and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead's The Divorce Culture. The statistics are grim: as a group, children whose parents split up are more likely to have problems later on – problems with substance abuse, academics, emotional issues and, most distressing, long-term relationships.
If you ask the children, if they get a vote, they'll tell us that the changes in the family are not just benign social evolution. Children know from personal experience that the more dysfunctional the family, the harder life is.
What is true on a personal level is even more true on a sociological level: family life matters not just to individuals but to society. It's not politically correct to make this observation, but it is obviously true nonetheless: life in a community in which families are highly functional is better than life in a community in which families are dysfunctional. Statistics like divorce rate, out-of-wedlock births, abortions and teen pregnancies have social as well as personal impact. Everyone suffers when families suffer.
It's true that people survive the loss of family; some even thrive despite a difficult and painful family background. But the exception only proves the rule: people have a basic, undeniable need for the kind of life that only a family can provide. This basic need for community and diversity isn't just incidental; it's how God made us.
So does it matter that the family is in distress?
Yes, we need family. We need family desperately because that's how were designed.

Chris Bravo
Documentary Filmmaker
My love for learning, listening, and engaging drives my filmmaking. Everyday I am thankful for the opportunity to make movies, participate in the community, and help tell stories that will resonate and empower.
I am a documentary filmmaker based in Brooklyn NY. My work is a blend of personal story telling and activism. The goal of my work is to bring audiences towards a deeper, emotionally engaged, understanding of topics and themes that are often marginalized and suppressed.
My films have screened internationally at venues and festivals such as:
Chicago Underground Film Festival, New York Underground Film Festival, Oakland International Film Festival, Anthology Film Archives, Berlin Director's Lounge, Chicago Filmmakers, Allied Media Conference, The People's Film Festival
My current projects explore the intersection of ageing, age-ism, caretaking, immigration, and racism. I am interested in the convergence of 2 hyper marginalized communities: the ageing poplulation, and the immigrant (mostly women) of color who take care of them.
My current short film, Sum of My Parts, which is about dementia, loss and disappearance, is part of that larger project.
Additionally, I work as a documentary editor on feature films, documentary series, and podcasts. My work has appeared on Showtime, Hulu, PBS' Frontline, and Epix and have won Emmy and Peabody awards.

Fashola Receives N162bn Sukuk Fund
By Abuja Business Reports Jul 20, 2020 Jul 21, 2020
Leave a Comment on Fashola Receives N162bn Sukuk Fund
Mr Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Works and Housing, has received a sovereign Sukuk Symbolic Cheque of N162.557bn for the construction of roads across the country.
Fashola was presented with the cheque on Monday in Abuja by the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed.
She said one of the key pillars of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan was the development of critical infrastructure projects with a view to removing the impediments to growth and development in the economy.
"As a result, Mr President has priotised capital expenditure on the development of roads, rails, power and agriculture projects.
"The Debt Management Office (DMO) has raised the sum of N162.557 billion from investors in June 2020. This is strictly dedicated to the financing of road projects in the Revised 2020 Appropriation Act.
"It also means that with the release of N162.557 billion to the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, the amount appropriated for Road Projects in 2020 Budget has been fully released.
She said with the deployment of sukuk funds coupled with other capital releases and various interventions by government, the economy would soon be on the path to economic development.
Mr Babatunde Fashola, in his presentation, said the people who put money in the sukuk were fund managers and the owners of the funds, adding that it was a matter of trust which they had for the administration that made them release their hard earned money.
"I assure you that we value that trust from the evidence of what has happened in sukuk one, and sukuk two, your trust is not misplaced and it will not be misplaced in the 44 road projects that will benefit from this sukuk.
"For the benefit of the members of the public, the 44 roads that will benefit from this sukuk has every geo-political zone taken care of.
"For the North-Central eight roads, North-East eight roads, North-West seven roads, South-East five roads, South-South 10 roads, and South-West six roads,'' Fashola said.
According to Mrs Patience Oniha, Director-General, Debt Management Office (DMO), this is the third sukuk issued by the office on behalf of the Federal Government in June 2020.
"The first sovereign sukuk for N100bn was issued in September 2017 and was followed by another in December 2018, also for N100bn.
"With the issuance of the third sukuk the federal government has raised a total of N362, 577,000,000bn all of which are for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of road projects across the six geo-polical zones of Nigeria.
"Therefore, the DMO plans to continue to use sukuk and Green Bonds to support the development of infrastructure and other capital products depending on how much is allocated to projects in the annual budgets.
Mr Adamu Aliero, Chairman, Senate Committee on Works, said road construction was synonimous to economic development, adding that it also enhances security and generate a lot of economic activities in the country.
Aliero said the National Assembly was willing to collaborate with ministry and stakeholders in the building of infrastructure.
On his part, the Deputy-Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, Mr Chris Emeka Azubogu, while commending the government for using the sukuk fund to accomplish the construction and rehabilitation of roads, urged for a better means of funding.
Speaking on behalf of contractors, Mr Nabeel Esawi, Managing Director, RCC, commended the government for releasing the funds and assured that all roads under the contracts would be completed in good time.
