Religious traditions are meant to awaken us to the one true religion: it is mentioned in the religious traditions that consciousness is the eternal function of the soul is present in everyone's heart; we simply have to awaken it. It is natural that one should be able to realize the spirit at least within him. But that is not possible for those whose internal vision has been covered by external activities. The concept of higher consciousness rests on the belief that the average, ordinary human being is only partially conscious due to the character of the untrained mind and the influence of 'lower' desires and anxieties. As many people resort to alcohol, drugs, artificial stimulants, self-hypnosis etc. to suppress the restlessness of the conscious mind to escape from the hard realities of humdrum life. These treatments provide only temporary relief and not permanent solutions to the numerous problems and difficulties of worldly life.
The intensity of happiness that one can enjoy depends on the level of one's consciousness. At every level of consciousness there is a corresponding intensity of happiness. Spiritualists say that bodily pleasures have a "beginning and an end, implying that they are finite; they do not provide the eternal fulfillment of pure consciousness. If the self-delights in the experience of materials, since the materials are changing, the pleasure will soon be lost. This loss of pleasure will give rise to suffering. That is why the spiritualists say: "that in a world of change and diversity, undue attachment to changing sources of pleasure gives rise to suffering through sorrow or conflict; they also suggest that freedom from suffering is based on stable inner fulfillment and peace. This inner fullness is learned through the experience of positive consciousness. The enlightened man does not rejoice in them, one who has the inner balance that characterizes cosmic consciousness is found to be free from attachment and completely stable. Such a person is described as having a "steady intellect" broad understanding and as being free from selfish interests based on desires. A person in cosmic consciousness is able to behave spontaneously effected on the basis of clear evaluation of circumstances. Because of this balance and contentment, this state is described as without the undue attachment that gives rise to suffering. Spiritualists describe such a person as having a full heart, capable of responding warmly to all without reservation based on the unshakable security of inner harmony.
The spirit, which is symptomized by consciousness, Consciousness is the state of being aware of an inner voice within oneself; our conscience is popularly called the voice of the Spirit. Even people who follow no particular religion have a moral sense. They know what ought to be done and what ought not to be done. In religious and intellectual traditions, spiritualists also believe in the principled order of the creation and know that God is very fair and merciful. He resides in the individual. The God within guides the human being through an inner voice. This is generally termed as conscience. The voice of conscience is the divine voice. It gives us the assessment of what is right and wrong and warns us.
It is necessary to educate the moral sense. In Religious traditions spiritualists teaches that before enlightenment one is never able to determine all of the rights and wrongs of action; and that the key to performing right action is to establish one 's awareness in the field of pure consciousness. The conscience may waver at times in its decisiveness and power to control over human deeds. Whenever we are in doubt, we must hear the inner voice of the conscience. We should respect its advice and follow it. Never entertain unnecessary doubts or suspicion, think deeply to reach the correct inner voice. When we are able to understand the art of hearing the inner voice in our life, then the voice of God will shed its radiance even in the hours of darkness and sadness. This living consciousness of the presence however cannot be forced. We must not allow ourselves to be intoxicated by unwholesome influences of the social conscience, but we must open ourselves wholly to the more powerful influence divine voice.
The conditioning created in you, forced on you, imposed on you by the society is a social conscience. For example every man has different style of wearing dresses, living, eating food is a teaching by the society, it is not your own inner voice, it is only the voice of the society in you. Every society has a different understanding, a different belief system; it all depends on the social beliefs. What we generally understand as conscience is different from a every religion. The right conscience is one and the same in all people. When you remove all the social conscience aside given by the society. Look within yourself you come to know the true conscience that belongs to you. The effects of conscience differ with each individual; it depends on their stage of spiritual progress. Once you have discovered the art of listening to it, then there will be no difference between the thought and action in your life.
A basic principle of religious traditions is to obey the Will of God. Where can we find the Will of God? According to spiritualists, it is fixed in the core of the human conscience. To follow one's conscience is, therefore, to live up to the Will of God.
"Conscience has nothing to do as a lawgiver or judge; but is a witness against me if I do wrong, and which approves if I do right. To act against conscience is to act against reason and God's Law." – Arthur Phelps.

First glimpse of how Dudley's new bus and tram interchange could look
Friday 30 November, 2018
This is the first glimpse of how Dudley's new multi-million pound bus and tram interchange could look.
The draft images were released as an outline planning application for the Dudley Interchange scheme was being submitted to the borough council by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) - part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).
The application follows a decision by the WMCA board earlier this month to put £10m towards the estimated £18m cost of the project. Other funds will come from a combination of sources including the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership (BCLEP) and Dudley Council which is close to finalising its remaining funding.
A computer generated image of how the interior of the new Dudley Interchange could look
The drawings are an early indication of how the final design, which could include a 'living roof', might look.
They show how the Interchange will serve buses, Sprint rapid transit vehicles and West Midlands Metro trams operating on the forthcoming Wednesbury to Dudley to Brierley Hill extension.
Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street said: "Thanks to devolution the region now has far greater freedom to decide for itself which transport schemes are best for economic growth, jobs and passengers.
"It means we will be building more than £3.4bn of new transport infrastructure over the next decade and the Dudley Interchange and the West Midlands Metro extension are part of that investment package.
"The scheme submitted today and the associated tram extension will better connect Dudley to the rest of the West Midlands opening up more job, training and leisure opportunities for local people. That has to be good news for the town and its future."
Subject to planning permission, the new Interchange could be completed by 2022 - ready for the scheduled opening of the West Midlands Metro extension in 2023.
Cllr Keiran Casey, Dudley Council's cabinet member for regeneration and enterprise, said: "I am really pleased that an application has now been submitted for outline planning permission for Dudley's new Metro and bus station interchange.
"This is another major step forward in terms of improvements in local transport and connectivity for Dudley and for the general regeneration in the town centre.
"That's why we have been pushing the WMCA to get the plans drawn up as quickly as possible and it's great they are now on the table for consideration.
"It is one of a number of great projects in the pipeline at the moment which will make a massive difference to Dudley and I want to see these started as soon as possible."
Cllr Roger Lawrence, WMCA portfolio holder for transport and leader of City of Wolverhampton Council, added: "The existing Dudley bus station deals with more than 5.2m passengers and nearly half a million bus departures each year and is a vital cog in the local transport network.
"But with Metro set to also serve the town we need a new facility that can offer people a step up in terms of quality, comfort and ease of use.
"The Dudley Interchange will enable passengers to switch seamlessly between bus, Metro and Sprint while also creating an attractive new gateway for the town."
Cllr Lawrence said that in addition to the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension, the town was also on the planned Sprint route from Birmingham to Dudley via Bearwood.
Sprint will use tram-style vehicles running on road-going wheels rather than tracks to provide fast, reliable journeys along some of the region's busiest roads.

Conservative Pundit Attacks Unmarried Women
Known for her opposition to feminism and for her campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment, Phyllis McAlpin Stewart Schlafly has found a new target – unmarried women.
Schlafly, who has endorsed 60 Republican candidates in this year's election, may have given the Democrats an early election day gift at a Troy, Michigan, fundraiser on Saturday.
"Unmarried women, 70 percent of unmarried women, voted for Obama," said the president of the Eagle Forum, a leading pro-family organization. "And this is because when you kick your husband out, you've got to have big brother government to be your provider."
In a follow-up interview with Talking Points Memo on Thursday, Schlafly continued to link single women, Obama and welfare.
"Yes, I said that. It's true too. All welfare goes to unmarried moms. They are trying to line up their constituency for Obama and Democrats against Republican candidates."
For over 30 years, Schlafly has been a forceful voice against the feminist movement at every Republican National Convention, in keeping strong anti-abortion language in the GOP platform.
Obviously the statistics are boggling her hard core conservative mind. Single women now equal one-fifth of the nation's population and 57% currently own their own homes, living fully independents and "providing for" themselves. How about you Phyllis?

I had leftover Letterpress ink, so I decided to use it to cover cardstock. It ended up making a perfect background for the Buttercup stamps! I embossed the images in white & it left tiny flecks, which I think adds sparkle to the starry sky.

Das Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz (kurz: BMUV) ist eine oberste Bundesbehörde der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Sein Hauptsitz bzw. erster Dienstsitz befindet sich in der Bundesstadt Bonn, sein zweiter Dienstsitz in Berlin. Zuständige Bundesministerin ist im Kabinett Scholz seit dem 8. Dezember 2021 Steffi Lemke von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen.

Geschichte

Bundesrepublik
Der Entstehung eines Umweltministeriums waren schon zu Beginn der 1970er-Jahre einige Aktivitäten in Sachen Umweltschutz vorausgegangen. Dazu gehörten die Freiburger Thesen, das Parteiprogramm der FDP von 1971, welche als erste der wesentlichen westdeutschen Parteien eine dezidierte Position zum Umweltschutz einnahm. Unter anderem formulierte es, "Umweltschutz hat Vorrang vor Gewinnstreben und persönlichem Nutzen" und das Recht auf eine "menschenwürdige Umwelt" ist in Artikel 2 des Grundgesetzes zu verankern. Dazu gehörten dann auch das 1971 beschlossene Umweltprogramm der sozialliberalen Bundesregierung von 1969 bis 1982 und weiteres, etwa zentrale Gesetzeswerke wie das Abfallbeseitigungsgesetz von 1972 und das Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz von 1974. Im selben Jahr wurde auch im damaligen West-Berlin das Umweltbundesamt gegründet und der Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen als wissenschaftliches Beratungsgremium der Bundesregierung eingerichtet. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war der Umweltschutz auf die Ressorts von Innen-, Landwirtschafts- und Gesundheitsministerium verteilt.

Auslöser für die Gründung des Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit am 6. Juni 1986 war die Reaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl. Es wurde damit etwa fünf Wochen nach der Katastrophe von Tschernobyl gegründet. Die damalige Bundesregierung (Kabinett Kohl II) wollte mit diesem Schritt die Zuständigkeiten auf diesem Sektor unter einem neuen Minister zusammenfassen, um den umweltpolitischen Herausforderungen besser entsprechen zu können. Die französische Deutschlandkennerin Brigitte Sauzay kommentierte dies in ihrem im gleichen Jahr in Paris erschienenen Buch Le vertige allemand mit den Worten: "In Deutschland fühlt sich die gesamte Bevölkerung angesprochen. Das ganze gesellschaftliche Leben steht unter dem Zeichen ökologischer Notwendigkeiten; jede der politischen Parteien, allen voran die CDU, hat diese Auseinandersetzung auf ihre Fahnen geschrieben, um nur ja nicht den Grünen ein wahltaktisch so wichtiges Feld allein zu überlassen."

Von der Gründung bis 1998 führten ausschließlich CDU-Minister das Ministerium. Der erste, Walter Wallmann, verließ den Posten acht Monate später, als er hessischer Ministerpräsident wurde. Insbesondere setzte sein Nachfolger Klaus Töpfer (Mai 1987 bis November 1994), späterer Exekutivdirektor des Umweltprogramms der Vereinten Nationen, zahlreiche Änderungen der Umweltgesetzgebung durch. Angela Merkel war im Kabinett Kohl V (November 1994 bis Oktober 1998) Umweltministerin. Sie entließ drei Monate nach Amtsantritt Töpfers langjährigen beamteten Staatssekretär Clemens Stroetmann wegen unüberbrückbarer Differenzen.

In der rot-grünen Koalition von 1998 (Kabinett Schröder I) wurde Jürgen Trittin (Grüne) das Ministeramt übertragen. Damit einher ging wieder eine stärkere Fokussierung auf den Umweltschutz und in bestimmten Bereichen ein Wechsel der umweltpolitischen Ausrichtung, der sich beispielsweise bei den Themen Atomausstieg, Endlagerung radioaktiver Abfälle (siehe AkEnd), Einwegpfand (ab 1. Januar 2003) und Ökosteuer zeigte. Trittin hatte das Amt auch im Kabinett Schröder II inne. Nach der Bundestagswahl 2005 kam es zu einem Regierungswechsel. Die große Koalition (Kabinett Merkel I) berief Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) zum Umweltminister.

Im schwarz-gelben Kabinett Merkel II (2009 bis 2013) wurde Norbert Röttgen (CDU) Umweltminister. Am 16. Mai 2012 gab Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel überraschend bekannt, den Bundespräsidenten gebeten zu haben, Minister Röttgen zu entlassen (Näheres im Artikel über Röttgen). Zum Nachfolger wurde Peter Altmaier ernannt.

Der Bundeshaushalt für das Jahr 2011 stellte 6,459 Milliarden Euro für Umweltbelange bereit. Der Haushalt des BMU betrug 1,636 Milliarden Euro, weitere 4,2 Milliarden Euro schlugen als Umweltschutzkredite zu Buche.

Der Etat 2013 wurde am 20. November 2012 im Bundestag beraten; er veranschlagte Ausgaben in Höhe von 1,65 Milliarden Euro – ein leichtes Plus von 54,73 Millionen im Vergleich zu 2012 (17/10815, 17/10814, 17/10823).

Im schwarz-roten Kabinett Merkel III wurde der Bereich Bauwesen und Stadtentwicklung am 17. Dezember 2013 durch Organisationserlass der Bundeskanzlerin vom Verkehrsministerium getrennt und an das BMU angegliedert. Dieses trug während der folgenden vier Jahre die Bezeichnung Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, Bau und Reaktorsicherheit (BMUB). Umwelt- und Bauministerin war in dieser Zeit Barbara Hendricks (SPD).

Im schwarz-roten Kabinett Merkel IV wurde der Baubereich wieder vom Umweltministerium abgetrennt und an das Bundesministerium des Innern angegliedert. Die Behörde wurde in Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit umbenannt, was wieder mit BMU abgekürzt wird. Ministerin war bis 2021 Svenja Schulze (SPD). Im Jahr 2019 erhielt das Bundesministerium vom Bundesrechnungshof eine Rüge für Intransparenz bezüglich in Anspruch genommener, mindestens 600 Millionen Euro teurer, Unterstützungsleistungen bzw. Beratungen im Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2018.

Nach der Ernennung von Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz am 8. Dezember 2021 ordnete dieser noch am gleichen Tag per Organisationserlass an, dass das Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit die Bezeichnung Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz erhält. Seit dem 8. Dezember 2021 ist Steffi Lemke (Grüne) Bundesministerin für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz. Dem Bundesministerium wurden mit dem Organisationserlass übertragen: aus dem Geschäftsbereich des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz alle verbliebenen Zuständigkeiten für Kernenergie und nukleare Sicherheits- und Entsorgungsforschung ohne die Zuständigkeit für die Finanzierung von Rückbau und Entsorgung; aus dem Geschäftsbereich des Bundesministeriums der Justiz die Zuständigkeiten für den Verbraucherschutz, die Verbraucherpolitik, insbesondere auch im Kontext der Digitalisierung, sowie die Verbraucherrechtsdurchsetzung; insbesondere auch die Zuständigkeiten für den Verbraucherschutz in den Bereichen Finanzdienstleistungen, Energie, Nachhaltigkeit sowie im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen ohne die rechtsförmliche Prüfung in diesen Bereichen und aus dem Geschäftsbereich des Bundesministeriums für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft die Zuständigkeiten für das Verbraucherinformationsgesetz, für die allgemeine Produktsicherheit und für die spezielle Produktsicherheit ohne die Zuständigkeiten für Tabakerzeugnisse, verwandte Erzeugnisse sowie andere Anbauprodukte.

Deutsche Demokratische Republik
Die Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) hatte bereits 1971 ein eigenes Ministerium für Umweltschutz und Wasserwirtschaft gebildet, 15 Jahre vor der Bundesrepublik. Die längste Amtszeit mit fast 20 Jahren wies Minister Hans Reichelt vom Dezember 1971 bis zum Januar 1990 auf.

Der Naturschutz in der DDR litt unter den Bedingungen der massiven Förderung von Braunkohle, dem starken Chemieprogramm  sowie unter der geringen Zahl von Hauptamtlichen. Lange vor dem Mauerfall hatte sich im Land darum eine starke Umweltbewegung herausgebildet. Deren Aktivisten waren Mitglieder des Kulturbundes, Kirchenmitglieder und engagierte Bürger.

Aufbau
Das Bundesumweltministerium kümmert sich federführend um die Umweltpolitik bzw. die Belange des Umwelt- und Naturschutzes. Geleitet wird das Ministerium vom Bundesminister für Umwelt, Naturschutz und nukleare Sicherheit, dem zurzeit ein beamteter Staatssekretär untersteht. Die vom Minister berufenen beiden Parlamentarischen Staatssekretäre haben keinen Durchgriff auf die Verwaltung.

Organisatorisch ist das Ministerium in acht Abteilungen gegliedert:
 Abteilung Z:  Zentralabteilung, Verwaltung, Haushalt, Forschung, Digitalisierung
 Abteilung P:  Planung, Strategie, Presse und Kommunikation
 Abteilung G:  Grundsätzliche und übergreifende Angelegenheiten der Umweltpolitik, Nachhaltigkeit, gesellschaftspolitische Grundsatzfragen, Ressortkoordinator für nachhaltige Entwicklung
 Abteilung IK:  Internationales, Europa, Klimaschutz
 Abteilung WR:  Wasserwirtschaft, Ressourcenschutz
 Abteilung N:  Naturschutz und nachhaltige Naturnutzung
 Abteilung IG:  Immissionsschutz, Anlagensicherheit, Verkehr, Chemikaliensicherheit, Umwelt und Gesundheit
 Abteilung S:  Nukleare Sicherheit, Strahlenschutz

Das BMUV kann auf die Expertisen und Stellungnahmen verschiedener sachverständiger Gremien zurückgreifen, namentlich auf den Rat von Sachverständigen für Umweltfragen (SRU), den Wissenschaftlichen Beirat der Bundesregierung Globale Umweltveränderungen (WBGU), die Reaktorsicherheitskommission (RSK), die Strahlenschutzkommission (SSK), die Entsorgungskommission (ESK), die Kommission für Anlagensicherheit (KAS) und den Umweltgutachterausschuss (UGA).

Dienstsitze des BMUV

Bonn
In Bonn residiert das BMUV am Robert-Schuman-Platz 3, mitten im früheren Regierungsviertel. Dort stehen auch Gebäude des ehemaligen Bundespostministeriums, welche teilweise vom BMUV genutzt werden. Unter einem dieser Gebäude befindet sich ein, mittlerweile außer Betrieb genommener, Atombunker. Das BMUV ist im westlichen und im südlichen Teil des Gebäudekomplexes untergebracht. Der östliche Teil wird vom BIBB, dem Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung belegt. Die nördlich befindlichen Pavillons nutzen ebenfalls Bereiche des BIBB und das Streitkräfteamt der Bundeswehr, einen ausgegliederten Teil vom Bundesministerium der Verteidigung.

Berlin
In Berlin bezog das Ministerium, nachdem es nach dem Berlin/Bonn-Gesetz hier eine Dienststelle einzurichten hatte, 1999 mehrere Etagen im Haus der Elektroindustrie am Alexanderplatz. Jedoch wurde in der Stresemannstraße 130, mehr zu den übrigen Ministerien hin, ein Neubau vorgesehen. Dessen Planungen und die Ausführung stammen von den Geier Maass Pleuser Architekten, das Richtfest konnte am 25. September 2008 gefeiert werden. Am 6. Juni 2011 erfolgte der offizielle Umzug in die Liegenschaften Stresemannstraße 128–130 in Berlin-Mitte und Köthener Straße 2–3 (Park Kolonnaden) in Berlin-Kreuzberg. In der Nachbarschaft des modernen Gebäudes sind dauerhaft einige Elemente der Berliner Mauer erhalten. Diese bemalten Mauerelemente stehen allerdings nicht auf ihren historischen Plätzen. Da das Gebäude des heutigen BMU die zweitreihige Grenzbebauung war, waren dort auf den Mauerelementen keine Graffiti zu sehen, die Elemente waren weiß. Das benachbarte, bereits früher für Verwaltungen genutzte Gebäude wurde saniert und in den BMUV-Komplex einbezogen. In Berlin sind einige Räumlichkeiten des Ministeriums für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Nach der Bundestagswahl 2013 wurde die Abteilung Bau vom Bundesverkehrsministerium dem Bundesumweltministerium angegliedert. Die Mitarbeiter dieser Abteilung arbeiten in der Liegenschaft Krausenstraße 17–18 in Berlin.

Wegen der wachsenden Aufgabenbereiche und der damit verbundenen größeren Zahl an Mitarbeitern ist ein Ergänzungsbau geplant, der sich unmittelbar an das denkmalgeschützte Gebäude entlang der Stresemannstraße anschließen soll. Dazu hatte das Bundesamt für Bauwesen und Raumordnung (BBR) im Jahr 2019 einen Planungswettbewerb organisiert, den das Architekturbüro JSWD Architekten (Köln) mit RMP Stephan Lenzen Landschaftsarchitekten (Bonn) sowie C.F. Møller Architects mit C.F. Møller Landscape (Aarhus, Dänemark) gewannen. Aus der 2. Wettbewerbsphase ging das Büro  C.F. Møller Architects als Sieger hervor.
Der Neubau soll etwa 30.000 Quadratmeter Nutzfläche bieten, auf der neben Büros auch eine Kantine, ein Konferenzzentrum sowie ein Medien- und Informationszentrum für das Ministerium entstehen. Weitere Nutzungen durch andere Ministerien und durch das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus sind denkbar. Im Januar 2020 wurden die Entwürfe im BBR, Straße des 17. Juni 112 öffentlich ausgestellt.

Publikationen
Zu besonderen Ereignissen und Themenschwerpunkten werden kostenlose Broschüren publiziert, die in Papierform und im Internet zur Verfügung stehen. Für die Bildung werden Hefte, häufig in mehreren Sprachen, aufgelegt.

Q: How to filter Array of Map with multiple value using Guava I have an Array containing Map. And I want to filter my array using some (multiple) key and value inside of the map object. For example, WHERE ID > 1 AND Name <> "cc"     (key > 1, Name<>"cc").
How can i do that in Java?
I have imported the Guava libraries that has Collections2 to filter the array.
But, I didn't found any example that is filtering Map object inside the array.
here is some of my example codes:
List<Map<String, Object>> baseList = new ArrayList<>();

            Map<String, Object> map1 = new HashMap<>();
            map1.put("ID", 1);
            map1.put("Name", "aa");
            baseList.add(map1);

            Map<String, Object> map2 = new HashMap<>();
            map2.put("ID", 2);
            map2.put("Name", "bb");
            baseList.add(map2);

            Map<String, Object> map3 = new HashMap<>();
            map3.put("ID", 3);
            map3.put("Name", "cc");
            baseList.add(map3);

            List<Map<String, Object>> filteredList = new ArrayList<>();

            filteredList = Collections2.filter() ???

I want to filter with a kind of ID >= 1 AND NAME<>"cc" Which will resulting Array containing Map object like this: [{ID=1,Name="aa"}, {ID=2,Name="bb"}]
Anyone can help?

A: I have no idea what do you need Guava for. I'd do that in the following way:
List<Map<String, Object>> filteredList = baseList.stream()
    .filter(map -> map.entrySet().stream()
                  .anyMatch(e -> e.getKey().equals(1L) && e.getValue().equals("cc")))
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

A: Do you use Java 8? You can do:
List<Map<String, Object>> filteredList = maps.stream()
    .filter(map -> (Integer) map.get("ID") >= 1 && !"cc".equals(map.get("Name")))
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

to have new list with filtered maps.
If you want collection view using Guava goodies (or no Java 8), you should use Collections2.filter:
Collection<Map<String, Object>> filteredList = Collections2.filter(
    maps, new Predicate<Map<String, Object>>() {
      @Override
      public boolean apply(@Nullable Map<String, Object> map) {
        return (Integer) map.get("ID") >= 1 && !"cc".equals(map.get("Name"));
      }
    });

there's no Lists.filter, see IdeaGraveyard for explanation, hence only Collection interface is provided.
Do you really need list of maps instead of Map<Integer, String> (or maybe Map<Integer, YourDomainObject>)? Then you could do:
final Map<Integer, String> map = ImmutableMap.of(
    1, "aa",
    2, "bb",
    3, "cc");
final Map<Integer, String> filteredMap = Maps.filterEntries(map,
    e -> e.getKey() >= 1 && !"cc".equals(e.getValue()));

Delta residents commend Okowa over completion of Leisure Park Asaba
...As Theme Park set to commence operation
in National
Residents of Delta State have commended the state Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa for the foresight of building and competing Leisure Park Asaba.
Leisure Park Asaba is another innovative addition to the long list of Okowa's infrastructural development in Delta State.
Located at Anwai road, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria, the park is the latest addition to the tourism industry in the south-south region, boasting some of the finest amusement attractions ever seen in Nigeria including adrenaline-pumping amusement rides.
Leisure Park Asaba also has one of the largest man made lake housing wavepool, kayaking, waterslides, and swimming pool, with the zoo section boasting of over 50 eye-catching and rarely seen animals from over 50 species in secure enclosures.
Built in a safe, serene, and comfortable environment, the theme park guarantees visiting guests a fun-filled time and a sweet connection with nature.
Designed by renowned architects, contemporary design associates and powered by Nigeria's leading resort, Omu Resort along with other consulting firms, Leisure Park Asaba is in a class of its own.
Speaking on the new park which has been described as an architectural masterpiece, a representative of the concessionaire of the park described it as the most modern park in Nigeria. According to him, this singular attribute stands it out.
Furthermore, he said that the park boasts a Sky Tower that allows guests to see the whole of Asaba, adding that on a clear day guests can see Onitsha and Benin with binoculars.
According to him, Leisure Park Asaba is one of the most elaborate, well-sculptured, and planned theme parks.
On the arrangement between Omu Resort and the Delta State government, he said that they were part of the team that implemented the park and the zoo, adding that they would manage the park for some time to come.
"We have a similar facility, As I said, it is one of the most elaborate projects I am proud to be associated with. We have an arrangement to run it professionally, based on the state governments desire for the park be run by professionals.

Lebanon – Murder of Lokman Slim (3 February 2021)
We were dismayed to learn of the murder of Lebanese intellectual, Lokman Slim, during the night of February 3 to 4 in southern Lebanon. France condemns this heinous crime in the strongest terms.
France calls for the facts to be clearly established and for all those who can contribute to determining the truth to cooperate fully. It expects the Lebanese authorities and all Lebanese leaders to allow the justice system to act in an effective and transparent manner, without interference.
Pluralism and the freedom of expression are key components of the model of society to which the Lebanese people are attached. France stands alongside them in their efforts to preserve it.

Over the years, businesses and people have both embraced Halloween as being much more than just a day to pull pranks and dress up in crazy costumes.
Halloween has become a season rather than a day and there may be better place to experience the spirit of the Halloween season than in New England.
Below are just a few of the Halloween decorations I have seen in my travels in New England these past few weeks.
Every year during the Halloween season, the owner of this house on Derby St decorates his or her home. The decorator also has a place to donate money to the Lion's Club.
When I stopped by October 1st, there was only a few decorations up.
However, the next time I visited, the following week, there were a lot more decorations up. This home is another staple of the Halloween season. Frankly, it would feel weird walking past the home this time of the year without seeing the elaborate display. The bugs really creep me out!
To see the display from last year, you can click on my blog post from last year.
There was a special visitor in the yard during my visit. A neighbor was walking her cat in the yard.
This house on Hawthorne Blvd always has some interesting decorations and nick knacks on it property. This tree was decorated with a variety of bird feeders.
Many of the homes in Salem get into the Halloween spirit. These are a few historic homes and private residences that were decorated for Halloween.
Many of the businesses in Salem decorate for the busiest season of the year.
Witch's Brew Cafe (156 Derby St) decorates their windows each year with different popular horror characters.
Mercy Tavern (148 Derby St) also had some fun artwork on their windows.
Dave Engs Flowers ( 136 1/2 Derby St,) put some spooky statues on his building.
These customers at Rockafella's (231 Essex St,) must have been waiting a very long time for a table.
Witch Tees ( 172 Essex Street Suite 127) had a very useful mirror.
The Purple Scorpion Body Piercing & Tattoo (140 Derby St) dressed up their shop for the holidays.
I am actually not sure if Fivehands Curiousity Shoppe dressed up their store storefront for the season or if it always looks like this.
So, contrary to some people's opinion. I am not a vampire. The person that looked in the mirror before me, though!
You might expect people and businesses in Salem to decorate their homes and buildings. But, Salem isn't the only place people like to decorate.
Of course, it's hard to pull over some places to take photos of decorations and it's not usually worth it if you're in a hurry.
But, I was able to pull over to the side of the ride on a quiet road in Kittery, Maine.
Cause nothing says "Happy Halloween" like creepy dolls that look like zombie children.
These creative "pumpkin people" were on display throughout Portsmouth, NH.I found these particular decorations on State St in Portsmouth.
At least they look very happy.
I also noticed this witch on a telephone pole in Salem, MA. It's one of my favorites but I think it's up all year long.
This lucky dog, Dolly, got carried around the mall!
Hours: Accessible everyday, 24 hours a day.
Parking: You can park on Roberts St.
Most houses are decorated for the holidays, birthday parties or some other celebration. But, the Wonder Woman Rosey House on the corner of East Center St and Robert St in Lee, MA is decorated all year round.
Without knowing the back story or reason for decorating the home, the house and property may seem crazy or a little bizarre. However, it is more of a tribute and memorial than some random decorations. Rosey (or Rosemarie) was the wife of painter and resident of the house, Bob Dupont, a professional painter. He painted and decorated his home and property as a tribute to her.
The garage next to the house is decorated primarily in red, white and blue.
The decorations do not stop there at the garage, though.
The house and property are also decorated with decorations and statues ranging from Santa Claus to rabbits.
I would have loved living in a house like this when I was a growing up. It looks like a real fun place to experience!
There are many randomly placed decorations scattered around the property.
The home owner doesn't seem to mind having visitors. I wasn't bothered or questioned while I photographed the area. But, it is private property. So, visitors should be respectful of that.
The featured link of the day is another decorated home called The Crazy Christmas House in Coventry, RI.
Plymouth, MA, is beautiful enough on its own. But, Plymouth during the holiday season is simply magical.
As part of their holiday season in Plymouth, MA, Plymouth 400, an organization which promotes the celebration of the upcoming 400th anniversary of the Plymouth Rock landing which will occur in 2020, helped illuminate Plymouth.
The festivities began with a celebration of some of the residents of Plymouth, MA and the surrounding area and some entertainment at the Hedges House on Water Street. The entertainment consisted of interpretive dance, an acapella rendition of John Lennon's song "Imagine" and a celebration of a family in Massachusetts who helped start a charity which helps buy cellphone minutes for soldiers overseas (Cellphones For Soldiers).
After the Plymouth 400 celebration, the city was aglow with holiday decorations (both Thanksgiving and Christmas).
I was a little disappointed at the lack of decorations and some of the decorations weren't lit by the time we got there. In fact, some of the better decorations were not on Main and Court Streets but off Water Street like these decorations at CabbyShack and The Tavern On The Wharf.
It is not a long walk to get from Court Street and Main Street. Just walk straight on either street (Main Street becomes Court St and vice versa). I was able to take a few photos of the holiday decorations on Main and Court Streets. It still was enough to get me into the holiday spirit, although it pales in comparison to some of the other displays in New England. At the same time, the scaled down decorations somehow gave it a more "small town" and tasteful feel to it which is also nice. Let's face it, some places can overdo it with the lights and decorations.
The decorations are still up and a few more have more than likely been added. Plus, there is the annual Kiwanis Christmas Tree Lighting Friday, December 2 from 5:30 to 8 which will really get the city's holiday season in gear.
I did see a cute dog at the Plymouth 400 celebration. Tully, a 3 and a half month old Labrador, was in the holiday spirit!
Every year during the holidays, I make my annual trip to Yankee Candle Village in Deerfield, MA.
The flagship shop of New England, the Yankee Candle Village is known for his decorative and at times eccentric displays. But, during the holidays they go the extra mile.
From the moment you walk onto the property, the Yankee Candle Village welcomes you with holiday cheer and some unique decorations.
Inside the store, there is an assortment of holiday decorations and not just holiday decorations. Wizard of Oz statues, model cars and other displays can be found throughout the shop.
There are Christmas trees galore. Every where you look it seems there is a tree decorated in a unique way.
There are also Christmas village light up displays located in one room. They also have a Halloween village set up.
There is also a fountain in the shopping area and a mechanized band that plays for the children. It looks kinda creepy to me, though.
As I left the shop and day turned into night, the lights from the trees and decorations outside lit up the area. It was raining pretty hard so some of the images produced spots that almost look like snow. Sadly, it was only raindrops. There will not be any snow on Christmas for us this year.
There are also many automated attractions at the shop. For instance, in the front of the store there is a toy train that runs along the wall.
Every 4 minutes, it "snows" at the Snowplace Factory in the North Pole of the store.
To get a full appreciation of the light display, I am including a short video showing off all the lights outside the store.
There may be nothing more festive than the holidays in the city. The city is so alive. Lights illuminate the dark city streets. Children gaze at all the trees and decorations. Even adults get into the spirit of the season. This was not more evident than at Faneuil Hall in Boston.
There are many statues and memorials at Faneuil Hall. This statue of Samuel Adams stands in front of Quincy Market. You can see some of the lights in the background. There is so much to photograph in the area and I will include other shots from the area in a blog post another time. I wanted to focus mainly on the holiday decorations and lights in this post.
Trees are lit up throughout Faneuil Hall.
Stores and restaurants also decorate for the season.
The main attraction has to be the tree, though. The lighting was not very good so I included a few different photos in the slideshow below.
The only thing missing from the holiday display at Boston Common is a fresh layer of snowy ground covering.
I'm still getting the hang of my long time nemesis: night time photography. So, some photos are a bit grainy or blurry.
The Menorah was lit today (Sunday) as Hanukkah began today. It was not lit during my visit Friday night.
Boston Common has become a family friendly spot for people of all ages to enjoy. The Tadpole Playground is a fairly new addition to the Common.
The Frog Pond is iced over during the winter for skaters young and old, and of various skating ability.
the zamboni's coming right at us!
There's not a shortage of things to get even the Scroogiest folks in the holiday spirit.
The Prudential Tower is visible from the Boston Common. Each day in December they are lighting the top of the tower in the colors associated with a different charitable cause, as part of their 31 nights of lights. The night I went they were recognizing the Catching Joy organization. Lucky for us, the charity's logo has a variety of colors in their name. My photo is a little blurry but I am posting a video of the tower's lights changing colors below.
The State House, located just behind the Boston Common, is also decorated for the holiday.
There's something magical about Halloween. It's a time when adults can still pretend to be a kid again, even just for one night. Even the most mature, sober person can forget their responsibilities and relive their carefree days just a little.
For the remainder of the week, I will be posting the remaining photos from my trips to Salem, MA. In this edition, I am posting photos of the various decorations, some other miscellaneous things and, of course, a few dogs from my travels in Salem.
Salem is known world wide for getting into the spirit of Halloween. Everywhere you look, there are decorations of the season.
Besides the vendors selling merchandise there are also games and other fun types of activities. This particular activity was meant to see if people could maintain eye contact with a complete stranger and possibly make a connection, even on just a platonic level. It sounds like a good ice breaker to me. The comments about the activity on the board are very interesting and humorous.
Salem is also creative in how they tie the season to other causes like this witch who encourages people to keep Salem "wicked" clean.
Even Witch's Brew Cafe got into the mix.
Other stores and attractions, many open only for the Halloween season, decorate for the season.
Some stores have humorous names without even realizing it. Of course, this is a name of a hole in a barrel that often contains alcohol. But, it may have a double meaning..
This is why Salem is so great. The people even get into it. This resident decorated his or her residency and put out a can for donations for the Lion's Club.
This ghostly figure was seen in Salem harbor.
Salem is also known for its art and not just during the Halloween season. There is art everywhere it seems. These paintings on Essex Street portray a mermaid and a fish-type creature.
The dogs in Salem also get into the Halloween spirit. It's hard to tell from a front view but Astro had tarantulas drawn on his fur.
Molly was quite the cute pumpkin.
Oz was dressed as a Cadaver dog for Halloween.
I will continue my Halloween in Salem themed photoblogs throughout the week. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Halloween!


Does the company charge a maintenance fee - Yes, the company charges either 1% of profits, or 1 BTC per month, whichever is greater. This also is only payable after the IPO has sold out.
How are Utilities Paid For - Utilities are paid from gross income before dividends.
The operator is extremely friendly and helpful.
The operator has made his identity known.
All facets of company operations are public knowledge.
Owner doesn't fully seem to have operations fully planned out, or changes plans somewhat quickly. NOTE: The major changes in operating plans was the switch from GPU technology to FGPA/ASIC technology as a result of major hardware advancement.
The somewhat high fee will eat into investor profits somewhat significantly until more capacity is brought on board to offset the 1 BTC per month fee.
The operator's estimated first dividend seems to be a bit high by my math. At current difficulty and operator's reported power costs, dividends should be around 0.00193994 BTC Per Share (0.62% ROI), 22.4% lower than estimates.

Approach analogies as puzzles. To solve them, students need to use cognitive processes and critical-thinking skills. These exercises present word and/or picture relationships in several different ways. The goal is to develop skills in visual imagery, reading comprehension, vocabulary development, reasoning and test-taking.
Take a creative approach to teaching math and thinking skills with analogies! Thinking Kids'™ Math Analogies covers the NCTM strands: Number and Operations; Algebra; Geometry; Measurement; and Data Analysis and Probability. Activity pages cover each strand with three levels of difficulty in each section. The third grade book has five analogies per page for a total of over 250 analogies. 64 reproducible pages.
Understanding and decoding analogies is a skill that is transferable to reading comprehension, critical thinking, and creativity. Analogies can be expressed in visual, symbolic, numerical, verbal, and inferential terms. Analogies help students develop the ability to make and appreciate connections between and among a variety of stimuli. As students become more adept at using, creating, and deciphering analogies, the process of transferring and expressing the inherent nature of analogies becomes a "thinking game" for them. The game can be successfully played at almost any level of thinking. The use of analogy-based thinking can then be applied effectively to thinking about ideas and concepts in the array of facts, terms, and information presented throughout the various curricula students encounter at any grade in school. This book is divided into five main sections based upon the type of relationship described by the analogies in it: Part to Whole / Whole to Part; Synonyms / Antonyms; Cause to Effect / Effect to Cause; Purpose, Use or Function; and Degree; Part to Whole / Whole to Part. The analogies in this section describe the relationship between a thing and a piece or building block of that thing and vice versa; Synonyms / Antonyms. The analogies in this section describe the relationship between a thing and something that is similar in meaning (Synonym) or a thing and something that is opposite in meaning (Antonym); Cause to Effect / Effect to Cause. The analogies in this section describe the relationship between an event or happening and a resulting change or outcome and vice versa; Purpose, Use or Function. The analogies in this section describe the relationship between an object or a concept and how it works or why it exists; Degree. The analogies in this section describe the relationship between an object or an idea and the increasing or decreasing value of that object or idea. Understanding and decoding analogies is a skill transferable to reading comprehension, critical thinking, and creativity. Opportunities to create analogies are provided as well as structured and open-ended practice.
Sharpen third graders' critical-thinking skills with these brain-teasing activities. Parents, students, and teachers will love these fun challenges, puzzles, and logical thinking pages. They're a great way to practice higher-order thinking skills.
Take a creative approach to teaching math and improve students' critical-thinking skills using Thinking Kids'TM Math Analogies for grade 3.

Brass Band Festival organisers launch prestigious competition for young composers
by The Brass Herald on October 24, 2014
Organisers of a major UK brass band festival which has taken place in Shropshire every summer for the last eleven years have launched a competition to find the best young composer of brass band music for 2015.
As a result of continued sponsorship support from Shropshire based Estate Agents and Valuers, Nock Deighton, the competition will be staged for the third year running, ahead of the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival which will take place on 11th and 12th July 2015 at the Museum of Iron in Coalbrookdale.
Eric Peagam of the Ironbridge Brass Band Festival committee said: "Thanks once more to the generosity of the competition sponsors we are now accepting entries for The Nock Deighton Challenge for Young Composers 2015 and all young composers under the age of 21 are invited to submit their own composition, in any genre or style as long as it is fully scored for brass band."
The 2014 competition was won by 17 year-old Daniel Hall who has since gone on to be selected for the composition team at the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Daniel's winning piece, 'Invaders from the North', was played at the 2014 Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival by the Championship section Jaguar Landrover Band.
"Entries for the 2015 competition do not have to have been specifically composed for The Nock Deighton Challenge", says Mr Peagam, "but can include pieces prepared as part of school or university programmes, provided that they have not been previously published. The panel will make judgements based on the score but if in addition a midi file is available, this will also be considered.
"Entry to the competition is free and all entries that meet the set criteria will be recognised with a token reward of £10. Winners of the first and second prizes will receive £100 and £50 respectively, along with the considerable kudos enjoyed by our previous winners. Other prizes may be awarded at the discretion of the judges."
Full details of the competition together with entry forms and further information can be obtained by emailing ericpeagam@aol.com or downloaded from the Festival website at www.ironbridgebandfestival.co.uk. Entries must be submitted by 31st March 2015.

Q: common effect sizes in psychological research and calculation/ transformation I am working on an empirical literature analysis.
For that I have to code some variables in a specific manner (analysis includes 150 published studies in the field of behavior Neuroscience, educational Psychology and social Psychology).
My hypothesis is that sample size behaves inversely proportional to effect size. (replication of Kühberger et al., 2014).
I thought of transforming effect sizes into r (or is cohen's d more useful?)
I probably will just integrate studies with between-subject design in my coding scheme.
It would be great to have one transformed effect size to run a correlation analysis.
What measures do I need to transforme one into another effect size? (SD?, mean? etc).
Could you recommend a book/article which describes calculation and transformation of effect sizes?


Tiger Prawn, scientifically known as Penaeus monodon, is a popular member of the crustacean family.
Best cooked with shell-on to retain the juiciness. Texture of meat is crunchier and tougher, ideal for baking and BBQ.
The size of the prawn is dictated by the number of prawns per kg. In this case, 10/12 means that there are 10 to 12 prawns in 1 kg. Hence the smaller the number, the bigger the prawn.


Trees are a precious resources for our communities we live in. They filter the air of toxins and help to bind the soil to mitigate erosion. Trees absorb dust, wind, and reduce glare. They can cool an area by up to 10°F, by shading our homes and streets, breaking up urban "heat islands", and reducing energy costs. Many species are bird and wildlife sanctuaries, provide edible food, and have beautiful flowers. These organisms can be used for windbreaks, privacy, and some even have great historic and sentimental value. Having trees makes the community more homey, increases property values, and improves the quality of life for people around them. This is why it is critical to preserve these semi-permanent living treasures in our own landscapes by watering them effectively. Below I will provide timely tips and suggestions on how, when, and where to water these wonderful plants called trees.
How does being more efficient with water result in healthier trees?
When a tree is watered in an efficient manner the result will be a healthier and more vigorous plant. When a tree is not irrigated properly it will become weaker and be more susceptible to stresses like insects and diseases resulting in poor growth and a sickly appearance especially in times of drought. It is important to water deeper and longer to establish deeper roots giving the tree more anchorage in the soil and the tree will become more drought tolerant. A tree with roots showing on the ground is weaker and will not prosper. Plant roots always grow where there is water, therefore it is wise to water longer, deeper, and less frequently. Below are some helpful ways to water your trees.
Most times, watering deeply involves having a slow or low volume of water over a longer period of time. The goal when watering your trees is to provide good thorough soakings (not a light spray) where the water seeps into the soil 1 to 2 feet because this is where most of the tree roots are. Below are some simple methods to accomplish this.
Take a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up all the way with water. Simply pour the water slowly filling up the water well or watering basin around the tree, having the soil soak up the water, and repeat the procedure until the bucket is empty.
What is a watering basin?
A watering basin is simply a berm of soil around the root ball where water is applied to.
Drill small holes in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket then fill the bucket with water. Place the bucket where the tree is as stated in method 1, the water will slowly trickle out of the holes watering your tree slowly.
This is my favorite method of deep watering. Simply spiral the soaker hose from the drip line inward 2 to 3 times.Turn the hose on and the water will seep out slowly for several hours. Make sure you have a pressure regulator connected to the hose faucet and soaker hose because this special type of hose runs on lower pressure.
Stretch the garden hose to where your trees watering basin is, then turn the faucet on very low to water your tree for several hours. The idea is to fill up the watering basin, turn off the water, then let water trickle into the soil, when that is complete repeat one more time.
Easily attach a hose sprinkler to the garden hose and place the hose sprinkler near the tree, turn on the water for the proper amount of time.
Where and how much to water?
With a new planting of a tree and until several months old, water close to the trunk but not at the trunk. Be sure to have a watering basin or well and apply the water to that area.
Established trees (trees that have been growing in the landscape after several months to over a year old or more) water where drip line or canopy of the tree is.
What is the drip line?
The drip line, drip zone or canopy of the tree is where all the branches and leaves extend out. This is where the delicate feeder roots are what bring up water and nutrients necessary for plant growth. It is critical to water your trees at or just beyond the drip line.
A good rule of thumb for how much to water your established tree is 80 -100 gallons. Generally speaking, when you water by way of the bucket method you can divide the area under the drip line into four equal sections like a clock: 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6, and 9 o'clock. Each area you apply 20 gallons of water. Simply fill the 5 gallon bucket 4 times to equal 20 gallons.
When using the hose sprinkler method the goal is to water 2 inches at each designated sections as detailed above. To determine if the hose sprinkler (or any sprinkler: manual or automatic) have reached 2 inches, simply use a cup and with a ruler mark with a permanent marker 2 inches. Turn on the sprinkler on low and write down the time it takes to fill up 2 inches. This is how long you need to run your sprinkler for at each section. Generally speaking, each section should take about 2 hours watering slowly and deep.
When using a soaker hose, the watering is usually accomplished in 6-8 hours.
In most cases, established trees usually need watering 1 or 2 times per month or more often in extreme heat or if rains are not sufficient.
When watering new trees, weekly irrigation would suffice.
When it is hot, low humidity, and windy plants demand more water, therefore it is necessary to apply water and oftentimes more frequently.
When conditions are cool, not windy, cloudy, and higher humidity your trees demand less water, less often.
During the summer, trees always demand more water, while usually during the winter many trees don't require as much water. If you have a tree that loses all its leaves during the wintertime, that is a resting period and the tree does not need additional water in most cases.
Anytime when the weather changes your watering habits need to change.
Where you live greatly determines when you need to water. If you live in a cooler coastal area, these areas need far less water than locales that are in hot inland climates.
The same watering practices does not apply to all areas of the landscape. Examine your own landscape and determine if there are areas where hot air settles or on the southwest side of the property, next to a hot wall or driveway, on the top of a slope, and extreme sun exposure because these areas dry out quicker and need water more frequently. Additionally, your own garden may have areas where cooler air settles, in the shade, on the north or east side or on the bottom of a slope these areas stay moister longer and do not need as much water. It is also important to examine your yard each season as the sun and season change.
The type of soil you have has a bearing on when you water. Sandy soils tend to drain quickly and therefore these soils need more frequent irrigations at shorter periods of time. If your soil happens to have clay, then these soils typically dry out more slowly, are harder to wet, and require longer watering cycles.
The most important tool you need to determine when you need to water is a bamboo stake, screwdriver or other such probe. Simply stick the screwdriver into the soil 6-8 inches. If the probe goes in easily, the soil sticks to it, and is moist the soil is not ready to be watered at that time. If the probe will not go into the soil with ease or when you stick it in and pull it out and shows that it is dry, there is a need to water. It is wise to do this practice in various places where the tree needs to be watered. These devices are also useful to indicate how far water has gone into the soil after you water.
The best times to water is when the temperature is lower, less windy, and higher relative humidity. Usually this is accomplished in the early morning and late evening.
Please be advised the above information is only a guide, different species of trees have varying water needs depending on where they are growing. It is always advisable to physically check soil moisture with a probe instead of using set watering intervals or relying upon automatic timers.
