"If you love without evoking love in return—that is, if your loving as loving does not produce reciprocal love; if through a living expression of yourself as a loving person you do not make yourself a beloved one, then your love is impotent—a misfortune."
-Karl Marx (1844)
It's more than a miracle, it's proactive intervention and progress driven by both curious minds and advocates for safety. It's decades of unending cumulative effort by engineers, pilots, and regulators to make their next flight their best one.
Tirthankar Roy's "Economic History of India" is one of my favourite books in the world. "Monsoon Economies" was also fantastic. Very much looking forward to his next book; instant pre-order.
Umbilical hernia. Seen in pediatrics.
Surgery is indicated if hernia persists after 3 y/o. According to the morons at the USMLE, another indication is a hernia larger than 1.5 cm.
