Inner engineering is a subject which has always interested me throughout my life. I am lucky to have attended quite a few Inner Engineering sessions conducted by some organizations. Such seminars are normally conducted by religious organizations. Of late secular and professional organizations also conduct such seminars to boost overall health and well being. Hurt feelings are the result of most of the turmoil that we see around us today. Individuals have hurt feelings; communities have hurt feelings so do whole nations have hurt feelings. Hurt feelings are the result of some past events in which one of the persons involved or community involved have had to undergo public embarrassment. The public insult caused due to hurt feelings gives birth to a desire to take revenge. Individuals, communities and nations keep this desire for revenge for years. Due to this desire for revenge are born personal fights, revolts and wars. The great wars which humanity has waged were caused due to hurt feelings which the victim had gone through. Hence engineering is required at all levels be it at individual level, community level or national level. People have to be bold and forgive each other. National leaders should be bold enough to accept responsibility for the mistakes committed in the past by their leaders and submit a public apology. This is the only way forward. Nations have fought wars against each other due to misunderstandings and mistakes on the part of their ancestors. Because of this, even decades after world war two some nations still regard other nations as their rivals or enemies. Throughout the world we find border skirmishes between the armies of nations due to this rivalry carried forward from past wars. As examples I can mention the regular skirmishes between India and Pakistan on the L.O.C., The continuous skirmishes between the Israeli army and the Arabs in the Gaza Strip is another example of the result of hurt feelings between two nations. This article tries to delve into the subject of hurt feelings and the tragic events caused by them. If people and nations forgive each other then trillions of dollars that are spent with the intentions of inflicting harm to each other would be saved. Without hurt feelings the world would become a better place with abundance of resources for the betterment of society as a whole. I have written this small article without any bias towards or against people of any community and with a secular mental attitude. Hence I have preferred to name the supreme deity as just ‘God’ or Divinity. Circumstantial evidences are overwhelming that mind in conjunction with Divinity can really work wonders by engineering the mind and making available avenues for progress.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
