By Kumar Kunal: Special Secretary (Vigilance) YVVJ Rajasekhar, who was probing alleged corruption in the renovation of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, was divested of his duties by the Delhi government.

Following the direction of the Delhi government, Rajasekhar claimed that his room was open at three in the morning on Tuesday.

He said that all sensitive documents, including the renovation of Chief Minister Kejriwal’s residence, were missing. He has also sent a letter to the chief secretary of Delhi in this regard.

Rajasekhar has expressed apprehension that there might be a breach of confidentiality and tampering with the evidence. He also said that spy equipment may have been installed in his room.

According to the report, the files that went missing from his room were related to the liquor scam case and alleged corruption in the renovation of the Chief Minister’s house.

Young couple renovating a home; learn more about home improvement stocks to invest in with MarketBeat

Whether flipping houses or putting in a new kitchen, home improvement shows’ mainstream popularity has bolstered the do-it-yourself (DIY) market. The pandemic also bolstered home improvement activities as consumers had the time and money to renovate, remodel and revamp their homes.

Surprise home renovation for Sandy’s family facing terminal illness

SANDY, Utah — At the Boyle family home in Sandy they have a motto, a phrase that guides Jeremy and Amelia and their six children.

“Amelia says if you have something good, share it,” neighbor Emilie Wright said. “That’s just the hallmark of her life, and so we have something good, and we want to share that with her.”

Over the last year, finding that good has been a challenge. Jeremey, 44, a marriage and family therapist, was diagnosed with a rare and terminal neurodegenerative condition called multiple system atrophy, and his body is shutting down.

“It’s difficult for him to get up and down the stairs, to function like he used to, he’s really active and handy and he’s not able to do that as well as he used to without a lot of pain,” said Wright.

What is a Whirligig Toy?

The word whirligig derives from two Middle English words: whirlen (to whirl) and gigg (top), or literally “to whirl a top”. So the gist of the whirligig toy then is basically to use a scientific force (in our case we create it) to get the thing whirling and then we seek to keep it going.

That’s all pretty fancy to say a disc on a string. This simple pleasure of both making and playing with whirligigs provided hours of entertainment for the children of early America and still does today.

Whirligigs are documented as early as the 1400’s in Europe but there is also evidence of whirligigs being here in America some say as early as 500 BC! (For you scientific types, it refers to the Fourche Maline Culture) There is evidence that the whirligig was used in the ceremony to

If you are gathering information for your upcoming home renovation project, you may have learned that you should sign a written contract with your renovation professional. A contract helps to clarify roles, responsibilities and expectations and protects both you and the renovator. But did you know there are different types of renovation contracts? Depending on the nature, duration and potential cost of a project, a renovator may propose one of three common types of contracts—the traditional lump sum contract, the design-build contract or the construction management contract.

With a traditional lump sum contract, the home owner first works with a designer to develop what the renovation will look like. When the design is complete, the home owner should obtain three quotes from

With warmer weather on the horizon, residential construction and renovation projects will increase, and many projects will need structural support.
