Abdul Sattar Edhi Obituary

Story by Guardian.com

In a country increasingly riven by extremism, Abdul Sattar Edhi, the founder of a vast public welfare organisation that spans Pakistan, was a symbol of the country’s shrivelled secular tradition. Edhi, who has died aged around 90, never turned anyone away from his hospitals, homeless shelters, rehab centres and orphanages. His determination to ignore considerations of creed, cast or sect earned him the hatred of some on the country’s religious right, who accused him of being an atheist. But the public revered him for his lifelong commitment to humanity.
Edhi was born in British India but moved to Pakistan six days after it was formed in August 1947. He attended some of the public speeches made by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the anglicised lawyer who led the movement for a Muslim majority state. Like many others hailing from Gujarat, Edhi found himself in Karachi, arriving by boat in the Arabian Sea entrepot that would grow into a megacity of more than 20 million people, racked by ethnic strife.


Always hazy about the precise year of his birth, Edhi reckoned he was about 20 when he landed at Karachi’s stinking harbour. He initially worked as a street pedlar, hawking pencils, matches that he would hold on a tray and towels. Later he sold paan, the betel leaf and nut mixture chewed by many in the subcontinent, and then worked for his father who was a trader. But he found his time doing this unsatisfying.

He said he felt an urge
to do welfare work after “observing the environment I was living in, where injustice, bribery and robbery were common”. He set up his first simple pharmacy offering drugs and basic medical care, regardless of people’s ability to pay, in a tent next to his family home in Jodia bazaar.
The area, now a teeming slum, is still the headquarters of the Edhi Foundation, which is run out of a ramshackle building where he lived to the end of his days in a tiny backroom. Doctors were persuaded to offer their services free and he raised the money to pay for medicines. Even in old age, he could still be seen on the streets stopping passers-by and cars for cash donations, with no one asking for receipts.


Through his work, Edhi met Bilquis Bano, who became his wife and a key figure in the burgeoning charity empire. They worked together during one of the toughest periods of Edhi’s life, the 1965 war between India and Pakistan which saw Karachi bombed. The couple cared for the civilian victims and organised 45 funerals, with Bilquis cleaning the bodies of women and Edhi preparing the men for burial. It was said he washed thousands of dead bodies during his life, with his foundation finding space in its graveyards for anyone who needed it. In his memoir, A Mirror to the Blind, he made clear his distaste for anyone who thought themselves too grand to touch the dead.Edhi’s charitable activities expanded in 1957 when an Asian flu epidemic swept through Karachi. He borrowed money for tents to treat people who were only asked to contribute financially if they could afford it. “It was the first mass recognition of my work,” Edhi later told the journalist Steve Inskeep. A single generous donation from a businessman, a fellow member of the Memon community, allowed Edhi to buy his first ambulance, which he drove himself around the city. Once asked why he was prepared to help Christians and Hindus alike, Edhi replied, “because my ambulance is more Muslim than you”. A women’s dispensary would later open and then a maternity clinic.
The Edhi Foundation ultimately became a multimillion-dollar enterprise run directly by Edhi, his wife and their four children. It is most famous for its fleet of 1,500 minivan ambulances that are always first on the scene of an accident or, more frequently, in the last decade terrorist attack. The foundation estimates it transports a million people to hospital each year, charging a tiny fee for the ride. In Karachi, rival gangs have been known to call temporary ceasefires to their gun battles to allow Edhi’s minimally trained ambulance staff to collect the dead and wounded.
In a country with a negligible public welfare system Edhi offered cradle-to-grave services. Some 20,000 people have Edhi registered as a parent or guardian after he and his wife began taking in abandoned babies. They started to place cribs outside their offices where unwanted infants could be left. It was a court case filed by Edhi that ultimately won the right for abandoned children with unknown parents to get the vital national identity card.
“I have never been a very religious person,” he told the Daily Times newspaper in 2009. “I am neither against religion nor for it.” He found inspiration in socialist writers who lambasted the ruling capitalist class whom he thought were responsible for poverty in the world. And he did not see why work to alleviate suffering should be restricted to Pakistan. In 2005 the Edhi Foundation donated $100,000 to the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the US.
“My religion is serving humanity and I believe that all the religions of the world have their basis in humanity,” he said.
Edhi is survived by Bilquis and their two daughters and two sons.

How Blast Furnace Work

Blast furnace:
The purpose of a blast furnace is to reduce and convert iron oxides into liquid iron called "hot metal".

The blast furnace is a huge, steel stack lined with refractory brick.
Iron ore, coke and limestone are put into the top, and preheated air is blown into the bottom.
IRONE ORE:
Iron ore is a rock that contains iron combined with oxygen. 
Some of the world's highest quality iron ore comes from Australia.
COKE:
• Coke is made from coal. Once mined, the coal is crushed and washed.
• Coal is then baked in coke ovens for about 18 hours.
• During this process, by-products are removed and coke is produced.
FLUX:
• Flux is a term for minerals used to collect impurities during iron and steelmaking.
•  Limestone and dolomite are fluxes.
• The flux causes a chemical reaction and elements not needed for steelmaking join together to form slag.
• 
METHOD:
Three substances are needed to enable to extraction of iron from its ore. The combined mixture is called the charge:
Iron ore, haematite - often contains sand with iron oxide, Fe2O3.
Limestone (calcium carbonate).
Coke - mainly carbon
The charge is placed a giant chimney called a blast furnace. The blast furnace is around 30 metres high and lined with fireproof bricks. Hot air is blasted through the bottom.
BLAST OPERATION:
• The Charge is fed in at the top,
• Bell Doors open (One at a time)
• Coke burns & makes Carbon Monoxide,
• The Carbon Monoxide mixes with the Oxygen in the Iron Ore (leaving Iron),
The Molten Iron falls to the bottom of the Furnace,
The limestone joins with the impurities to make Slag and floats on top of the Molten Iron. The slag and the Molten Iron are tapped off regularly.
Special rail cars bring the Molten Iron away,                                                                                                                     The liquid iron typically flows into a channel and indentations in a bed of sand.
Once it cools, this metal is known as pig iron.
REATIONS:
Oxygen in the air reacts with coke to give carbon dioxide:
C(s) + O 2(g)  CO2(g)
The limestone breaks down to form carbon dioxide:
CaCO3(s)  CO2 (g) + CaO(s)
Carbon dioxide produced in 1 + 2 react with more coke to produce carbon monoxide:
CO2(g) + C(s)  2CO(g)
The carbon monoxide reduces the iron in the ore to give molten iron:
3CO(g) + Fe2O3(s)  2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)
The limestone from 2, reacts with the sand to form slag (calcium silicate):
CaO(s) + SiO(s)  CaSiO3(l)
WHY PIG IRON IS PIG IRON:
• PIG IRON is raw iron in an ingot form. 
• It is the result of smelting Iron Ore, Coke and Limestone in a blast furnace. 
• It is a hard but brittle mix of iron (90% or more) and carbon (typically 4-5%), manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, and silicon (roughly 3% in total). 
• The name is derived from the time when the iron ran into moulds. A row of moulds was said to resemble a litter of suckling pigs, so the single ingots were referred to as pigs.
• To create a ton of pig Iron
• We start with 2 tons of ore,
• 1 ton of coke and
• ½ ton of limestone.
• The fire consumes 5 tons of air.
• The temperature reaches almost 3000 deg F (about 1600 degrees C) at the core of the blast furnace!
BLAST WASTE:
• Slag, Ammonia, Light Oils and Coal Tars are waste from the Furnace,
• They make raw materials for cements, plastics and fertilisers.
• Pig iron contains 4 percent to 5 percent carbon and is so hard and brittle that it is almost useless.
We do one of two things with pig iron:
• You melt it, mix it with slag and hammer it to eliminate most of the carbon (down to 0.3 percent) and create wrought iron.
Wrought iron is the stuff a blacksmith works with to create tools, horseshoes and so on. When you heat wrought iron, it is malleable, bendable, weldable and very easy to work with. Or we can create steel.

Pakistan's Yasir Shah becomes number one Test bowler

Pakistan's Yasir Shah has risen to the top of the Test bowling rankings following his 10-wicket haul against England in the first Test.
The 30-year-old, who has usurped England's James Anderson, becomes the first leg-spinner to head the rankings since Australia's Shane Warne in 2005.
He is the first Pakistan bowler to top the list since Mushtaq Ahmed, also a leg-spinner, in 1996.
The Lancashire bowler, who is expected to be included for Friday's second Test at his home ground after recovering from injury, has also been overtaken by India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
Yasir's rise completes a remarkable entrance to Test cricket, which has seen him take more wickets (86) in his first 13 matches than anyone else in history.
He is on course to break the record for the fastest bowler to 100 Test wickets - currently held by England's George Lohmann, who reached the landmark in 16 matches in 1896.
Australia captain Steve Smith continues to lead the batting rankings, with England's Joe Root fourth.
