Even an untrained eye could tell you the photo above is, well, horrid. For many reasons, which I will not be going into. What it does capture is the feeling and look of a spare garden box I had in June. Last year this garden bed held a few flowers and lots of peppers. This year I had no peppers. What I did have were flowers that looked very ragady and forelorn. Most of the other flowers had sold on the road side stand. Due to lack of watering or other issues, these had not. Instead of adding them to the compost pile, I filled this garden box with them. My goal was to keep out weeds. Instead, this is what I got …
No added fertilizers, no weeding (though there are a few in there), no watering. I planted and let them be. So what happened? Over the winter I had added at lease one 5-gallon bucket of coffee grounds and filters from a local restaurant. That was it. Coffee grounds and filters are a great soil additive, helping with soil structure, retention of moisture, and add roughage for our worms. While not everyone agrees with adding so many grounds at once, it has worked out for me. Of course, these were on top of wood chips. I also have a tendency to empty our ashes from the fire pit into the garden beds.
While we have a compost pile, I find myself semi-lasagna gardening a lot of time. I think of it as either being lazy or efficient, composting in place and saving time in the spring.
The moral of the story: Getting good results in your garden does not have to be hard and labor intensive. With the right environment, even the worst looking plants can thrive.
P.S. While taking the last pictures I found a stowaway from last year – a self seeded pepper plant. And to keep it real, I left the weed in the garden bed till after I took the picture. Your welcome. 😉

Quarriers 29 Jul 2019
To enable FWWs to provide the most appropriate support for Adult Carers and Young Carers, developing enhanced assessment and interview skills is essential, and contributes to identification of individual carer outcomes through the ACSP and YCS process. We are seeking funding to increase capacity within the staff teams across Aberdeenshire and Moray in relation to: • understanding and creatively supporting identification, recording and achievement of personal outcomes • having appropriate knowledge of a range of assessment and interview techniques to support carers to understand and acknowledge the challenges they face and the steps possible to overcoming them • having the practical skills to motivate, encourage and empower carers to take ownership and make progress The training will enable staff to; • more effectively support those carers who don't recognise their caring role or its impact on them to explore their circumstances and identify areas where change and improvement could be made • support carers to complete more detailed and focused ACSPs and YCS, leading to improved outcomes recording and monitoring and increased engagement from carers in the process • tailor their approach to individual carers more effectively, through more accurate identification of key issues and areas of concern • more appropriately support and encourage those carers who are unable to see what control and choice they have over their situation, by enabling incremental change through outcomes-based support programme planning Training will include 'Carers Outcomes Star', 'Motivational Interviewing' (MI) and 'Intermediate Motivational Interviewing' (IMI). The training will be provided by Triangle Consulting and the Scottish Drugs Forum and will mainly take place at two locations, in the service offices in Elgin (Moray) and Inverurie (Aberdeenshire). This will allow easy access to training for staff and volunteers in both local authority areas whilst keeping travel costs and staff rota disruption to a minimum. The 'Carer Outcome Star' training will take place over 1 day for 15 FWW in the Elgin office. The 'Motivational Interviewing' training will take place at over two days in Quarriers Elgin (Moray) office for up to 20 FWW and over 2 days for up to 18 FWW in our Inverurie (Aberdeenshire) office. The 'Intermediate Motivational Interview' Training is a 3-day course and will take place in our Inverurie office for 6 senior staff. We have included costs for lunches and refreshments at all the training. Accommodation and travel costs for 3 staff attending the Intermediate Motivational Interviewing over 3 days have been included in the budget.2. Training Evaluation; All FWW and Senior Staff training in Motivational Interviewing, Intermediate Motivational Interviewing and Outcome Star training will initially be evaluated from Training feedback forms which will be administered immediately after the training has taken place. At Quarriers staff supervision reviews take place every 6 weeks. Once staff have been able to use their learned knowledge and skills, this will be evidenced on their training evaluation report. The impact on carers will be measured to via ACSP/YCS completion in terms of improved recording of outcomes. That also forms part of regular staff supervision and caseload monitoring.

'Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be'
'Sensational Bodies: London's Golden Age of Anatomy' is the first new walk to be uploaded to the Sick City Walks web app. Produced in association with the Queen's Gallery exhibition 'Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomist', this is a chance to explore the bloody underbelly of Enlightenment London. Here's a little taster of the walk:
If Leonardo the anatomist could have chosen to work in another time and place, he might well have picked eighteenth-century London. Two centuries after he had completed his remarkable anatomical studies, this city was the most advanced and exciting centre of anatomical discovery in the world. Two Scottish brothers – William and John Hunter – were remaking anatomy in the image of the European Enlightenment. Their work took inspiration from Leonardo, whom William described as 'by far the best Anatomist and Physiologist of his time'.
In 'Sensational Bodies' we'll meet the Hunters, along with dozens of anatomists who began to explore the terra incognita of the human body, just as Captain Cook mapped the unknown islands of the Pacific. But as we'll discover, anatomy was never just the private pursuit of physicians and surgeons. This was science conducted in the public gaze, and artists, aristocrats and the thrill-seeking demi-monde flocked to witness dissections, operations and lectures by the stars of the day. And this grand edifice of new knowledge was built on grim foundations. In uncovering the secrets of the human body, surgeons and anatomists were complicit with hangmen, body-snatchers and their unfortunate victims.
To use the Sick City Walks app, all you need is a smartphone or a tablet with web access, a pair of headphones, and a couple of hours free for each walk. Point your phone or tablet's browser to http://www.sickcity.co.uk, and follow the links. Each walk will use approximately 20-30MB of data, if you listen to all the audio.
You can receive updates on the Sick City Walks app, and on my guided walks and events, by following SickCityProject on Twitter. We'll be adding new walks regularly, and planning tours in other cities – so watch this space.
The Sick City Walks app has been developed with funding from a Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellowship.

Introduction: Hiding Place in Book With Arduino
The supplies you need for the book compartment are as shown:
-a brush
-a thick book
-box cutter
Step 1: Step 1
You first want to glue all the outside pages together then when that dry you want to start cutting out the center. Then when your done with that your book should look like this.
Step 2: Step 2
You will then want to glue the next inside pages together.
Step 3: Step 3 Arduino
The Adriano will be hidden inside the book and these are the materials you will need.
Arduino board
(1) analog sensor (a photocell will do)
(1) 10K ohm resistor
(1) 220 ohm resistor
hook-up wire
This is the link to the code that you will need a computer to download it.
Step 4: Step 4 Arduino
Once you get everything downloaded and working you put the arduino in the center of the book with a battery so it works. Like so.
Now you have created a hidden book compartment with a photocell arduino with a led light.

As the 2020 election approaches, college students are turning their attention to the broad array of candidates and policy issues that will define the presidential race. WBRU is committed to being a voice for Gen-Z and college-age students, and as part of that effort, we've conducted a survey of students from universities across the United States to better understand their attitudes about the election and the issues at stake. The results of our May 28th-May 29th poll, administered in collaboration with student-run polling company College Reaction, revealed a number of surprising insights.
Climate change is the most important issue for college students in the upcoming presidential election. Out of the 500 students surveyed, 30.9% selected climate change as the issue that is most important to them in the upcoming presidential election, followed by the economy (16.4%) and healthcare (12%).
When asked whether it is more important that a candidate can beat Donald Trump or that they agree with the candidate on policy issues, the majority of students (72%) said that it is more important that their candidate aligns with them on policy issues.
Of those who say climate change is the most important issue to them, 21.5% say Joe Biden best reflects their position on climate change. Biden is not the most progressive candidate in climate change policy, but students seem to trust his pragmatic approach to address global warming. Following behind Biden is Sanders at 16.5%, Buttigieg at 12.7%, and O'Rourke and Warren at 11.4%. Jay Inslee, who has made climate change the central focus of his campaign, garnered only 1.9% of the students' support.
When asked which candidate best reflects their position on the issue that they care most about, Joe Biden was the top candidate overall, with 18.09% of students selecting him as the candidate that reflects their top policy preference. Biden is followed by Bernie Sanders at 16.15% and Donald Trump at 14.59%. Notably, for all the talk of democrats and young people yearning for diversity in government, the top three candidates are white men over the age of 70.
63.1% of college students say they're more likely to vote in 2020 after the recent passage of restrictive abortion laws in Georgia and Alabama. And 47% say that they are "much more likely" to vote. It seems that what was an undeniably devastating blow to the democratic agenda may turn into a boon for democrats at the polls.
Student opinion about impeachment was predictably split along party lines. Overall, 52% of students support beginning impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump, while 48% are opposed. When we look into respondent's party identification, 70.5% of college students who identify as Democrats support impeachment, while 84.4% of Republican students are against impeachment.
Intrigued by the findings above? Listen in to a conversation between WBRU's Carolyn Paletta and our polling partners at College Reaction, Cyrus Beschloss and Matin Miramezzani, as they take a closer look at the results.

Aviation safety investigations & reports
Analysis of failed turbocharger turbine wheel shafts, Garrett model TH08A
On 4 August 2005, a Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain aircraft, registration VH-MZM, departed Dubbo Airport, NSW, for a local post-maintenance acceptance flight following an engine change. Shortly after departure, the pilot reported that the right engine manifold pressure fluctuated then dropped and maintained 28 inHg. The aircraft was returned to Dubbo with reduced power to the right engine.
Examination of the aircraft by the overhaul engineers revealed the newly-installed turbocharger turbine wheel had failed. The turbocharger was supplied to the ATSB for further examination and analysis.
During the course of the investigation, a second, similar turbine wheel failure occurred in a Piper PA-31-350, registration VH-TZY. Similarly to the first incident, the pilot observed significant manifold pressure fluctuations during cruise flight of the aircraft and the right engine was shut down. The aircraft was returned to the departure aerodrome. The turbocharger had been in service for approximately 241 hours and was subsequently forwarded to the ATSB.
Analysis of both turbine wheels revealed fracture characteristics indicative of a fatigue cracking mechanism. The failures had both occurred through a sealing ring groove, adjacent to the friction-welded joint between the turbine wheel and shaft components. While the post-failure damage of the fracture surfaces in both instances prevented the identification of the prime factor/s giving rise to the initiation of fatigue cracking, it was likely that the stress-raising effect of the ring groove location, geometry and associated microstructure, when combined with pre-existing cyclic loading conditions, was sufficient to initiate fatigue cracking and consequent turbine wheel failure.

Career Turn an Important Decision
Choosing career is one of the most important decision of one's life as you have to proceed your whole life based on this decision but what if somebody did the wrong choice and after some time a person wants to join other profession or in the other department of the same field, honestly this is a brave decision to take as you may have to suffer from the monetary issues because you don't have enough experience for a new journey .
According to current market statistics most of the candidates choose money over the profession they love but after few years things started to get bored of them and they stuck in a routine kind of activity where they don't want to try new things and their job doesn't stay passionate and enthusiastic for them. Every person can listen to their inner voice and it can never be wrong.
The main hurdle which you may face is working with the people who are juniors of you in terms of years of experience you have. Take a deep breath and get yourself with these people and never ever let your ego to be climbed over your mind. You may get some dusty behaviors but these are the facts and you can never ignore it and you need to play peacefully with all these things.
The other factor is your salary may not up to the mark as you don't have enough experience for a new profession but believe me if money is in your fate it will come to you but for choosing your dream career you have to grab it by yourself. A person will have to leave their comfort zone and will have to engage themselves in a less breathing environment and try to quickly learn the new environment and new responsibilities as quickly as possible.
Self-funding is the main essence of life in which you know your best part and you can escalate yourself effortlessly. salary and promotions are important but not more than your passion. It will not take so long to climb quickly in a new profession if one is willing to achieve or try to be the unique in their own way. Never chase for money always chase your dreams, passion other things will automatically come to your side.

LAGOON Love-In
SUNDAY, APRIL 19th
Lucy Zizka | 28th Street
The Lagoon Committee was established by the City of Del Mar in 1974 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized that the time to prevent the Lagoon from being more developed would soon be upon them. Their efforts and those that followed have helped in restoring the remaining wetlands to the health we view today. As mitigation for the damage caused by the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Southern California Edison and their partners, at the direction of the Coastal Commission, began the journey to bring the Lagoon back to a functioning estuary. The results are evident, many birds, marine specimens and native plants have returned. But it is still a work in progress. Once again the opportunity to learn about the San Dieguito Lagoon is here. Our annual celebration will occur on Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 5:00 PM at the Powerhouse.
Lagoon Day activities will begin with a 10:00 AM interpretive hike of the Lagoon on the Boardwalk Trail. (East side of Jimmy Durante Blvd., across from the Fire Station.) Then activities will resume at the Powerhouse at 5:00 PM with an opportunity to learn about the recreational, educational and volunteer opportunities available at our Lagoon and River Park from the organizations that support these natural resources. It will also be an opportunity to learn about the history of the Lagoon and the ongoing efforts being made to increase our enjoyment of the Lagoon, including an update on the new River Path Trail Extension. At 6:00 PM the formal presentation will begin with recognition of those who have been instrumental in restoring the Lagoon, followed by our featured speaker, Jacqueline Winterer, presenting Historical Sites along the San Dieguito Lagoon Left Bank. Light refreshments will be served.
There is no charge for the event. The Del Mar Powerhouse is located at 1658 Coast Blvd. in Del Mar.
All are welcome to help us celebrate Lagoon Day 2015!

Implementation of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) is almost a month away. The hype is making various businesses and consumers equally jittery. However, Mohit Aggarwal, the CMD of Aastha Group, is looking forward to this revolutionary Act and the changes it will bring to the Indian economy. According to Mohit Aggarwal, a single consolidated tax is easier to track and it considerably brings down corruption across the industries. Moreover, the sun might shine more in the way of the steel and coal companies. It seems the impact GST will create a special wave in Aastha Group.
Energy and mining minister, Piyush Goyal, also announced GST council's decision to assign the lowest slab of 5% to the coal industry. The tax rate for coal at present is 11.69%. Cutting down the cost is a mere side-effect.
According to Goyal, the aim is to make 'one nation, one tax' a reality. Renewable energy sources like solar energy will not be free from high tax slabs but it will not affect their tariff. Mohit Aggarwal has planned to step in the renewable energy sector with biomass on the table. Biomass enterprises might see a little spike in the costs since GST might end the fiscal incentives energy sectors enjoy.
Steel companies like JSW Steel, TATA Steel, SAIL, and Aastha Group will benefit greatly by GST as the costs of coal and iron ore will fall. The GST rate stands at 18% for these companies. With a reduction in logistic costs and lower input expenditure, steel companies can reel in more profit and clear their debts. Direct consumers won't have to pay a lot for TMT bars and steel items. Like a domino, the fall of prices of metallic products will also cause real estate prices to tumble.
Mohit Aggarwal is eagerly waiting for July 1 as it's the day the GST act will be put in effect. To sum up the whole story, expect lower energy tariffs, low real estate prices, and low metallic instrument prices due to low coal and steel prices.

Overall Treatment Approach:
I have 17 years experience treating CAS. I worked for and trained under Nancy Kaufman in Westbloomfield, MI. I use the Kaufman Speech Praxis method, but have added tactile cues when needed. I vary my treatment approach depending on what the child needs. Expressive and receptive language skills are always on my radar and targeted once speech production is under way. I introduce early literacy skills and AAC techniques early on in the therapy process, to help the child become academically successful. My goal for each therapy session is to not only get the maximum responses from the child, but to train the family so that the child will be successful in the home environment.
Percent of CAS cases: 40
Parent Involvement:
I always incorporate the family in my therapy process. I like for as many family members as possible to observe and learn the techniques. A good support system is not only desired, but imperative to the success of the child. Parents are given a strong home plan and guided through the therapy process. Parents are the experts on their child.
Community Involvement:
I have a private FB Page for my parents to converse and ask questions with other parents of children with CAS. We try to have playdates throughout the year. My private practice has had a team and encouraged parents to form teams for our Rocket City Walk for Apraxia. I point parents to the Apraxia Kids support system.

Why aren't there any consumer-grade Thunderbolt 3 flash drives?
Thunderbolt 3 is a new connectivity standard which is getting more and more attention from manufacturers as the technology brings more versatility and efficiency.
But while there are many devices featuring the Thunderbolt 3 dock, flash drives based on the technology are scarce on the market.
The first prototype of a Thunderbolt flash drive was first presented by Intel at an electronics show viewing, and that was about it.
Most manufacturers have stayed away from producing Thunderbolt flash drives, as they would incur a price increase due to the chipset and licensing requirements. The high cost discourages customers and manufacturers have no choice but to focus on more affordable devices.
But there are alternatives – USB-C Flash Drives.
If you do absolutely need external storage with Thunderbolt 3 support, then feel free to check out our round-up of the best external hard drives with TB3.

The flash drive features an ergonomic design with a decent plastic finish. There is a small-cap that covers the Type-C end with the Type-A adapter fitted firmly into the other end.
The main body of the device has a small loop from which you can attach it to your keychain.
The Duo Plus is ideal for travelers as it is resistant to water, shocks and high temperatures. It is also X-ray proof when you pass your airport security check.
The drive is by default formatted in FAT32, which is a pretty universal format used by most computer file systems. Based on your file system, you can reformat the device to NTFS for PC or Mac OS Extended or APFS for Mac users. For cross-compatibility, format the device to ExFat.
Its 256GB capacity paired with high read speeds ensures that you will transfer and store data on your device without any problems.
Its 300mb/s read speeds is what makes this drive stand out from the competition. Most drives on the USB type C flash drives on the market clock at half the reading speeds of the Duo Plus.
While the write speeds clocked pretty low at 43.8MB/s during testing, but the drive clocked at 300.4 MB/s read speeds just like it advertises.

This allows you to quickly transfer photos, videos, files and music from one device to another.
There are two storage capacity options, 32GB and 64GB.

6. Kingston 64GB DataTraveler Micro Duo 3C USB / USB-C 3.1 – Best Flash Drive for Smatphones
This small device comes with USB-A and USB-C connectors and supports USB 3.1 connectivity, which makes it a versatile flash drive. The device can thus be used to connect to devices that have Thunderbolt 3 ports and standard USB 2.0 ports, though with the latter the speeds will be much slower.
Kingston DataTraveler comes in four data capacities 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. While we were a bit disappointed there was no 256gb variant, the 128gb model is enough for most people's needs. The 16 Gb model has a lower write speed of 10mb/s.
The Kingston DataTraveler comes in an aluminum casing, meaning it is resistant to wear and tear. The downside is that the cover is made out of plastic, which might crack if you dropped it on a hard surface, but that shouldn't have an impact on its performance.
The USB Type-C connector is covered by a plastic cap which protects it from dust and scratches. The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C has a built-in grip from which you can attach the device to your key chain. But if you do that, the USB 3.0 port will remain without protection. It would have been best if the device came with protection caps for both ends.
While there are no security features, the device has a warranty which is available for 5 years, which leaves you with enough time to return it should it malfunction.
When connected, the device will reach temperatures between 32°F to 140°F or 0°C to 60°C.
The device is compatible with almost all major operating systems, from Windows 7 to Windows 10, to Mac OS X, to Linux, Android, Windows 10 Mobile and Chrome OS.
When tested using CrystalDiskMark, the USB Type-C port on the Kingston DataTraveler with 16GB of storage space. The results show that the device delivered read speeds which were slightly above those specified by the manufacturer.
With a 1.44 GB file transfer, the registered writing speed was around 9.45 MB/s.
When the USB Type-A was tested with CrystalDiskMark, the speeds actually improved, especially the writing speed. The read and write speeds clocked at 134 mb/s and 12 mb/s respectively.

What we liked about this drive is that it has a lengthened USB-C connector which will allow connecting to your phone, even though it has the bulkiest of cases.
The flash drive is compatible with the operating systems of most tablets, phones, and PC's, with the device being read in a few seconds after it gets connected.
The Mosdart, the 32 GB version, was tested using the ATTO Disk Benchmark tool. The results showed write speeds from 15-50Mbps and read speed from 30-100Mbps. The write speeds are within the range of the ones that were advertised. Also, the write speeds are some of the fastest on our list.

Status of Indian citizen ship – Indian citizenship automatically get terminated u/s 9(1) of the Citizenship Act if a person acquires British Overseas citizenship – CIC: interpretations of Citizenship Act does not fall within the ambit of 'information'10 Aug, 2013
1. Shri Mohammed Shamsudeen Maricar, hereinafter called the complainant has filed the present complaint dated 3.11.2012 before the Commission against the respondent Ministry of Home Affairs, Foreigners Division, New Delhi for not providing satisfactory information in response to his RTI application dated 15.5.2012. The complainant was absent whereas the respondent were represented by Shri V. Vumlunmang, Joint Secretary/FAA.
2. The complainant through his RTI application dated 15.5.2012 sought to know about the status of his Indian citizen ship, as he born in India on 11.7.1969 as British Overseas Citizen and failed to renounce his foreign citizenship after attaining the age of 18 and he got British Overseas citizen passport in 2009. Now he has a doubt whether he is Indian or British national. The CPIO vide letter No., 26027/04/2011-IC.I dated 28.5.2012 informed the appellant that as per RTI Act, a public authority is not supposed to create information or to interpret information, or to solve the problems rose by the applicants or to furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Only such information can be had under the RTI Act which already exists with the public authority.
3. Aggrieved with the reply of the CPIO the complainant filed first appeal on 17.6.2012 before the FAA. The FAA vide his letter No. 26027/04/2011-IC.I dated 22.10.2012 informed the complainant that clarification/ confirmation sought by him did not come within the definition of 'information' under the RTI Act.
4. During the hearing the respondent FAA states that the complainant requires a certificate from MHA stating that he is not an Indian citizen so as to produce the same to the British authority in processing of his getting British citizenship. As per 3(1)(a) of the Citizenship Act, 1955, every person born in India or on after 26th day of January, 1950, but before the 1st day of July, 1987 shall be a citizen of India by birth provided he has not acquired any foreign passport after his birth. The Indian citizenship of such person automatically get terminated under section 9(1) of the Citizenship Act, 1955 in case he acquires foreign citizenship as the Constitution of India does not allow dual citizenship. In the instant case, the request of the complainant can be considered under section 3(1)(a) of the Citizenship Act, 1955 as he was born in India on 11.7.1969. As per the said section, he is Indian citizen by birth provided he has not acquired any foreign passport after his birth. His Indian citizenship automatically get terminated u/s 9(1) of the Act in case he acquires British Overseas citizenship as the Constitution of India does not allow dual citizenship. Further, it appears from the query of the complainant that he desires to examine his request under subsection (1A) of Section 4 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 which is not applicable in his case as he was not born outside India to Indian parents. Section 4 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 provide Indian citizenship by descent to a person born outside India to Indian parents. Further, Sub-Section 1(A) of Section 4 says that a minor who is a citizen of India by virtue of this section and is also a citizen of any other country shall cease to be a citizen of India, if he does not renounce the citizenship or nationality of another country within six months of attaining full age.
5. The Commission is of the view that the complainant sought interpretations/ clarifications in respect of Citizenship Act, which does not fall within the ambit of definition of 'information' as defined u/s 2(f) "information" means any material in any form, including records, documents, memos, e-mails, opinions, advices, press releases, circulars, orders, logbooks, contracts, reports, papers, samples, models, data material held in any electronic form and information relating to any private body which can be accessed by a public authority under any other law for the time being in force; of the RTI Act. The Commission finds no reason to interfere with the replies of the respondent. The matter is disposed of on the part of the Commission.

traffic regulation
traffic regulation, control of the movement of vehicles and pedestrians, chiefly on city streets. Formal regulation of motor vehicle traffic was instituted in New York City in 1903; a set of Rules for Driving was issued by the police commissioner, and a traffic squad was formed. Similar systems were soon adopted in cities all over the world. Since that time, as the volume of traffic has increased, a variety of control mechanisms have been developed to regulate the safe flow of traffic.

A few examples will point out to readers how ordinary men become satisfied by knowing the superficial meanings of words, but how the same words carry totally different and deeper meanings to those who are wise and thoughtful.
It is generally believed that there was great surprise all over the world, when it became known that Saint Tukaram was weighed against God and that the balance was equal.
Now, can this literally happen? One might say that this is only a poetic way of description. But a better explanation of this event is possible if it is understood as meaning meditation on the divine Name, contemplation on the vision by means of the eyes, and attention to both meditation and contemplation by means of the mind.
And when Tukaram could stand these tests with success, it became a matter of great surprise to all. Or, a better meaning still would be to say that Tukaram could go beyond both the spheres of activity, and non-activity and beyond all the limitations (upadhis) of these two, by means of meditation and contemplation and by keeping his eyes half-open, so that he could have his gaze on the Atman, and exclude all other things. One can as well say that it was a surprise to all that Tukaram could have concentrated his attention on the vision of the Atman in front of him in spite of the three great temptations of woman, wealth, and land.Consider the three words 'dhira', 'udara and 'gambhira' which ordinarily mean a person having patience, courage, and conviction respectively.
Spiritually, however they have specific meanings. One can be said to be 'dhira' who patiently bears all that befalls him with joy and with the thought that the one doer of all things is God only. He is courageous if he can sacrifice everything in the world for the sake of devotion to God.
And, he can exhibit the deep moral conviction of his mind if like Tukaram, he can declare that all the women in the world, excepting his wife, are in the place of his mother.
Now to the question: who can be said to be a man of purity? I would like to answer that he is pure who sees the presence of God in some form or other before his very eyes. One who does his meditation daily, without being tired and one who repents for having wasted his life without any devotional attitude to God, can also be said to be pure of heart.

Allan Block®
The Allan Block stacks beautifully and creates a smooth and fluid finish for every wall, bringing a refined look of classic natural beauty to any landscape.
This impressive residential project is located at the heart of the Bombay Hills in South Auckland. Consisting of three amazing terraced AB Ashlar Blend retaining walls, that due to their high elevation, allows an unobstructed view of the beautiful countryside around the Taihiki, Waikato and Waiuku rivers. For this reason, the AB Ashlar Blend, our high-end retaining wall option, was the preferable way to proceed.
The involvement of Cirtex started in June 2018 when the client called our customer service team regarding three segmental retaining walls he was interested in building around his house. The client wanted to compare costs and options between the range of retaining systems we offered. At the same time, he was also looking for a qualified contractor, experienced and capable of executing the project. Blueprint Consulting Engineers, and in particular one of their structural engineers, was already in charge of the design. Our good rapport with this engineer, and his in-depth knowledge of how segmental retaining walls work, were very important to correctly specify and design the retaining structures using the right soils, wall's spacing, and toe embedment depth, as the retaining walls were going to be laid on a sloping surface.
Alicon Limited was the contractor selected by the client to carry out the construction of the terraced retaining walls. In this case, their vast experience building Ashlar Blend retaining walls and their high level service were the key differentiating factors. As we highlight on our brochures, patterned walls require a certain level of detail and craftsmanship to construct. These are exactly the areas in which Alicon are the absolute masters. Extra time was required to complete the retaining walls as some cutting and custom fitting was needed, however, the result speaks for itself. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful retaining walls in the area.
The products used provided the following benefits to the project:
The Allan Block stacks beautifully and creates a smooth and fluid finish for every wall, bringing a refined look of classic natural beauty to any landscape.

Issued: 8:00pm Tuesday, 26 February 2019
The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (Situation Room) has been observing the national collation and announcement of the Presidential election results for the election conducted on 23rd February 2019. We are compelled to make the following observations:
Vote Tallying
Some of the numbers/votes announced so far by State Returning Officers at the INEC National Collation Centre in the ongoing collation process are raising concerns. Considering that there was simultaneous accreditation and voting, a careful look at some of the figures of accredited voters and the total number of votes cast show discrepancies. As at 6:47pm Tuesday 26th February, the discrepancy was a total of 513,214, in 27 States including Nasarawa, Kogi, Adamawa, Edo States and the FCT. Situation Room calls on INEC to transparently address this confusion before the completion of result tabulation.
There is a lack of clarity in the rationale for cancellation of polls. We have recorded 1,084,358 cancelled votes across 1175 polling units in 18 States. The pattern of this cancellation requires some close interrogation to show fairness and objectivity. The reasons provided for the cancelled votes include over voting, card reader malfunction and violence. Situation Room demands that INEC provide clarification on rationale and compliance with its Guidelines regarding cancellation of polls. Accusation that these cancellations may have been contrived to supress votes need to be taken seriously and addressed before the close of tabulation. Situation Room calls on INEC to address the discrepancies in the vote tally and provide cogent explanations for the rejected votes and clearly clarify what amounts to cancelled votes.
Claims of duress by INEC Officials
Situation Room observed that INEC officials and ad-hoc staff serving in varying capacities have alleged harassment and intimidation in the course of the collation process and undue pressure in the announcement of results. Notable has been the Returning Officer for Imo West Senatorial District, Prof. Francis Ibeawuchi, who disclosed that threats were made to his life, to ensure the return of the incumbent Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, as the winner of the Senatorial election in the district. In Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State, the Electoral Officer, Mary Efeture Imawuya alleged that Army Personnel invaded the RAC Centre and held her hostage, in a bid to seize the election results. While in Emohua Local Government of Rivers State, the Electoral Officer, Kenneth Etah claimed that military personnel invaded the local INEC office and commenced shooting, thereby creating an environment too violent for the collation process to be carried out.
Situation Room notes that INEC has failed to publicly acknowledge the occurrence of these incidents in the past few days and owe it to its staff and Nigerians, to express concern over these threats and acts of violence and take necessary steps to ensure the security of INEC personnel. Furthermore, the implication of this on the sanctity of the ballot must be transparently dealt with.
Situation Room calls on INEC to give immediate attention to the issue of its officials who were forced to announce inaccurate results and also take steps to ensure their safety.
Transparency at Ward Collation
Situation Room had deployed Observers in all 8,809Electoral Wards across the Country and received reports of Observers being restricted from several Ward Collation Centres. For instance, our Observerswere denied access to 10 Ward Collation Centres in Abia State, 7 in Lagos State and 5 in Akwa Ibom and Ogun States respectively. Other reports received indicate that there was no collation in some Wards; rather, polling unit results were directly collated at Local Government level, raising questions about violation of the collation process.
