INTRODUCTIION This report presents the results of our geotechnical exploration for the Roosevelt Street Improvement District located in Buckeye,, Arizona. A Site Location Map is presented in Appendix A. The following sections of this report describe our understanding of the project and our scope of services. 1.1. Proposed Project The proposed project consists of sewer, water and street improvements along various locations within the City of Buckeye, Arizona. The sewer improvements will include the installation of three new lines: Roosevellt Road from Verrado Way west approximately one-quarter of a mile (8-inch diameter line), Roosevelt Road from Jackrabbit Trail west for approximately seven-tenths of a mile (15-inch diameter line) and 211th Avenue north for approximately seven-tenths of a mile from Van Buren Street north across Interstate 10 (12-inch diameter line). The water improvements will include the installatiion of three, 12-inch diameter lines: Roosevelt Road from Verrado Way west approximately one-half mile, 211th Avenue north for approximately four-tenths of a mile from Fillmore Street north across Interstate 10 and Dean Road north approximately one-half mile from Van Buren Street across Interstate 10. The street improvements will include seven segments: the north half of Roosevelt Road from Verrado Way west for approximately one-half mile, the south half of Roosevelt Street from Jackrabbit Trail west for approximately one mile, the west half of 211th Avenue from Roosevelt Street south for approximately one-quarter of a mile, the west half of 211th Avenue from McDowell Road south for approximately one- quarter of a mile, the north half of Van Buren Street from Dean Road to 211th Aveenue (approximately one-half mile), the south half of Van Buren Street from Dean Road Geotechnical Exploration 150004 Roosevelt Street Improvement District Buckeye, Arizona Page 2 of 19 west for approximately one-quarter of a mile and Dean Road from Van Buren Street north for approximately 1,000 feet. 1.2. Purpose The purpose of this geotechnical exploration was to evaluate the general surface and subsurface conditions at the proposed site, and to present recommendations related to geotechnical aspects of design and construction of the proposed project. 1.3. Scope of Services Our study included a site reconnaissance, subsurfface explorration, soil sampling, field and laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and preparation of this report. This report presents geotechnical recommendations for desiign and construction of proposed structures. The recommendations contained in this report are subject to the limitations presented herein. Attention is directed to the “Limitations” section of this report. 2. FIELD EXPLORATION 2.1. General The field exploration was performed on November 2, 2015 and November 3, 2015. Twenty-three soil borings were drilled to depths ranging between five (5) and thirty (30) feet below existing grade. The soil test borings were drilled using CME-45 power drill rig equipped with 6 and 5/8-inch outside diameter hollow stem augers. The borings were located in the field at the approximate locations shown on the Sample Location Plan included in Appendix B of this report.

    The Greatest Mathematical Discovery? David H. Bailey∗ Jonathan M. Borweiny April 24, 2011 1 Introduction Question: What mathematical discovery more than 1500 years ago: • Is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, single discovery in the field of mathematics? • Involved three subtle ideas that eluded the greatest minds of antiquity, even geniuses such as Archimedes? • Was fiercely resisted in Europe for hundreds of years after its discovery? • Even today, in historical treatments of mathematics, is often dismissed with scant mention, or else is ascribed to the wrong source? Answer: Our modern system of positional decimal notation with zero, to- gether with the basic arithmetic computational schemes, which were discov- ered in India prior to 500 CE. ∗Bailey: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.

Email: [email protected]. 1 2 Why? As the 19th century mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace explained: It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very sim- plicity and the great ease which it has lent to all computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appre- ciate the grandeur of this achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.

Phone : 04175-237200 email : [email protected] Website : www.sriramanamaharshi.org © Sri Ramanasramam Tiruvannamalai. Salutations to Sri Ramana Who resides in the Heart Lotus PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION Many were the devotees who were attracted to the presence of Bhagavan Sri Ramana while he was living in the Virupaksha Cave, situated in the holy region of Arunachala, the Heart Centre of the world, which confers liberation on those who (merely) think of It. They were drawn to him on account of his wonderful state of tapas - absorption in the silence of yoga samadhi, which is difficult of achievement. One among these devotees was Sivaprakasam Pillai who approached Maharshi in 1901-02 with devotion, faith and humility and prayed that he may be blessed with instructions on Reality. The questions raised over a period of time by Sivaprakasam Pillai were answered by the silent Maharshi in writing - in Tamil. The compilation (of the instruction) in the form of questions and answers has already been translated into Malayalam and many other languages. May this Sanskrit translation now made, be crowned with success ! PUBLISHER'S NOTE The Sanskrit translation of Sri Bhagavan's Who am I ? entitled Koham? by Jagadiswara Sastry was published earlier in 1945. We are happy to bring out a second edition. The special feature of this edition is that the text is in Sri Bhagavan's handwriting. A transliteration of the text into English has also been provided.

  • An Introduction to Indic Scripts
    An Introduction to Indic Scripts Richard Ishida W3C [email protected] HTML version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.html PDF version: http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/09-ri-indic/indic-paper.pdf Introduction This paper provides an introduction to the major Indic scripts used on the Indian mainland. Those addressed in this paper include specifically Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, and Telugu. I have used XHTML encoded in UTF-8 for the base version of this paper. Most of the XHTML file can be viewed if you are running Windows XP with all associated Indic font and rendering support, and the Arial Unicode MS font. For examples that require complex rendering in scripts not yet supported by this configuration, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Malayalam, I have used non- Unicode fonts supplied with Gamma's Unitype. To view all fonts as intended without the above you can view the PDF file whose URL is given above. Although the Indic scripts are often described as similar, there is a large amount of variation at the detailed implementation level. To provide a detailed account of how each Indic script implements particular features on a letter by letter basis would require too much time and space for the task at hand. Nevertheless, despite the detail variations, the basic mechanisms are to a large extent the same, and at the general level there is a great deal of similarity between these scripts. It is certainly possible to structure a discussion of the relevant features along the same lines for each of the scripts in the set.

  • Brahminet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme
    BrahmiNet-ITRANS Transliteration Scheme Anoop Kunchukuttan August 2020 The BrahmiNet-ITRANS notation (Kunchukuttan et al., 2015) provides a scheme for transcription of major Indian scripts in Roman, using ASCII characters. It extends the ITRANS1 transliteration scheme to cover characters not covered in the original scheme. Tables 1a shows the ITRANS mappings for vowels and diacritics (matras). Table 1b shows the ITRANS mappings for consonants. These tables also show the Unicode offset for each character. By Unicode offset, we mean the offset of the character in the Unicode range assigned to the script. For Indic scripts, logically equivalent characters are assigned the same offset in their respective Unicode codepoint ranges. For illustration, we also show the Devanagari characters corresponding to the transliteration. ka kha ga gha ∼Na, N^a ITRANS Unicode Offset Devanagari 15 16 17 18 19 a 05 अ क ख ग घ ङ aa, A 06, 3E आ, ◌ा cha Cha ja jha ∼na, JNa i 07, 3F इ, ि◌ 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E ii, I 08, 40 ई, ◌ी च छ ज झ ञ u 09, 41 उ, ◌ु Ta Tha Da Dha Na uu, U 0A, 42 ऊ, ◌ू 1F 20 21 22 23 RRi, R^i 0B, 43 ऋ, ◌ृ ट ठ ड ढ ण RRI, R^I 60, 44 ॠ, ◌ॄ ta tha da dha na LLi, L^i 0C, 62 ऌ, ◌ॢ 24 25 26 27 28 LLI, L^I 61, 63 ॡ, ◌ॣ त थ द ध न pa pha ba bha ma .e 0E, 46 ऎ, ◌ॆ 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E e 0F, 47 ए, ◌े प फ ब भ म ai 10,48 ऐ, ◌ै ya ra la va, wa .o 12, 4A ऒ, ◌ॊ 2F 30 32 35 o 13, 4B ओ, ◌ो य र ल व au 14, 4C औ, ◌ौ sha Sha sa ha aM 05 02, 02 अं 36 37 38 39 aH 05 03, 03 अः श ष स ह .m 02 ◌ं Ra lda, La zha .h 03 ◌ः 31 33 34 (a) Vowels ऱ ळ ऴ (b) Consonants Version: v1.0 (9 August 2020) NOTES: 1.

At that time your energy becomes the Guru’s. Your lips do the same movement which Guru Nanak’s did, or Guru Ram Das’ lips did. You are exactly saying it the same way they said it. At that time you are they and they are you. There is no difference, there’s no gap.” - Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Yogiji. 11/20/73 EK ONG KAR SAT NAM SIRI WAH GURU Guru Liv Singh, 1975 Edited in 2010 by Siri Sevak Kaur and Ravi Nam Kaur 1 FOREWORD In the beginning was the word and the word was God, and the word was with God. The Sikh Gurus spoke the Word of God, the infinite sound current. This vibration changes men’s destiny as it reaches into their hearts. This vibration, this spirit, this direct communication between man and God is our living Guru: SIRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB. Guru Angad Dev, the second Guru, created the Gurmukhi script to transmit this vibration and perpetuate it for mankind. For this reason he called it Gurmukhi, literally, “from the mouth of the Guru”. It is a bridge to reach the sound current of the Gurus. It is much simpler than the Sanskrit or the Arabic script; it is phonetic, logical and consistent.

  • General Historical and Analytical / Writing Systems: Recent Script
    9 Writing systems Edited by Elena Bashir 9,1. Introduction By Elena Bashir The relations between spoken language and the visual symbols (graphemes) used to represent it are complex. Orthographies can be thought of as situated on a con- tinuum from “deep” — systems in which there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the sounds of the language and its graphemes — to “shallow” — systems in which the relationship between sounds and graphemes is regular and trans- parent (see Roberts & Joyce 2012 for a recent discussion). In orthographies for Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages based on the Arabic script and writing system, the retention of historical spellings for words of Arabic or Persian origin increases the orthographic depth of these systems. Decisions on how to write a language always carry historical, cultural, and political meaning. Debates about orthography usually focus on such issues rather than on linguistic analysis; this can be seen in Pakistan, for example, in discussions regarding orthography for Kalasha, Wakhi, or Balti, and in Afghanistan regarding Wakhi or Pashai. Questions of orthography are intertwined with language ideology, language planning activities, and goals like literacy or standardization. Woolard 1998, Brandt 2014, and Sebba 2007 are valuable treatments of such issues. In Section 9.2, Stefan Baums discusses the historical development and general characteristics of the (non Perso-Arabic) writing systems used for South Asian languages, and his Section 9.3 deals with recent research on alphasyllabic writing systems, script-related literacy and language-learning studies, representation of South Asian languages in Unicode, and recent debates about the Indus Valley inscriptions.

    Guide to Sanskrit Pronunciation There is an audio companion to this you document, in which can hear these words pronounced. It AnandaYoga.org is available at . Tips a nd Tec hniques When a Sanskrit word is written using s, English letter it is transliteration called . Since the set of vowels and consonants in Sanskrit are different from those of English, reading transliterated Sanskrit can be a challenge. The following tips and techniques p will hel you read transliterated Sanskrit, and help you get an idea of how it should be pronounced. Before y ou b egin It is very useful to take a moment and clear your mind of any notions of how to pronounce a transliterated Sanskrit t word. Jus focus on the word in front of you and try not to lengthen vowels or stress a syllable based on past habits or other influences. Tip 1: Kn ow t he l ong a nd s hort v owel sounds In English, a vowel sound can either be short (e.g. foot) or long (e.g. cool). Sanskrit also short has and long vowel . sounds The problem is, it is hard to find out just by looking at the spelling, which vowel s is long and which one i short. Let’s take an example: a yoga posture is called ‘asana’ in Sanskrit. If you make the second ‘a’ long, then it becomes ‘a-­‐saa-­‐na’, which is incorrect. If you ’ make the first ‘a long, then it becomes ‘aa-­‐sa-­‐ na’, which is correct. In this document, we will write long vowels , using uppercase letters and short vowels using lower-­‐case letters.
