PLEASE NOTE: Annual Address Luncheon with Mayor Bonnie Crombie is taking place this afternoon at Mississauga Convention Centre. The City crew have been working very hard to clear the roads. Kindly allow extra time travelling.


This website represents a prototype for a digital edition of the Crane-Rychtarik correspondence held by Fales Library and Special Collections. It features high-resolution facsimiles of the letters exchanged between the modernist poet and set designer, as well as transcriptions, metadata, and, in some cases, annotations and TEI encoding. The project is interested in considering Crane's relationship to New York City's geography, and several of the digitized letters have been referenced to their locations of authorship. A more robust edition of the project is currently underway.


If you've been looking for a device to help you do a movie night at your house but you don't have a large screen TV, your other option would be to use a projector. Sony's Xperia Touch is one such Android-powered projector that you can use, but only if you have a lot of money to spare as it will cost you $1,699.99. Since it runs on Android, you can actually use it as a tablet substitute as well as long as you have a flat surface that you can project on, like a wall or even a table.
The projector is being marketed for viewing multimedia files, making video calls with its 13MP camera, and even browsing and posting on your social networks. There are also games which can actually turn your table into a game board. And of course, since it has a full browser and you can install various Android apps, you can browse like a tablet but with a bigger screen. The Xperia Touch device itself is just 5.6 x 5.3 x 2.7 inches but it can project a 23-inch virtual touch screen and then to an 80-inch projection if you have more people watching.
However, it only has a 1366 x 768 resolution and a brightness of 100 lumens and a contrast of 4,000:1, so you might not expect cinema-level quality for when you're watching. Plus the battery will only last about an hour of video playback so you need to have a power outlet on hand. The projector can also function as a family hub since it has a presence sensor that can turn on when it detects movement and then show your calendar, messages, and other details.
The Sony Xperia Touch is a short-throw projector with movement tracking and several pieces of hardware, which if you put together all-in-all may be the reason for the steep price tag. But if you have that kind of money lying around and you are in need of such a projector, you can buy it through Amazon and at select T-Mobile and Sony stores in the US.


it feels impossible to articulate how important you all are to us, the rubber soul gang. simply put, because of you, we are still here. i have sadly watched as so many stores and businesses have had to shut their doors. each day i am grateful to put my key in that front lock and know that i have another day to visit with old friends and make new ones. i am grateful to watch your faces light up as you discover another new technique and another new product. i am grateful when you leave newly inspired. we are truly grateful for every on-line customer, every reseller that carries our stamps in their shop, and every store customer that chooses to put their money back into the community by buying locally. we are grateful every single day. it is because of you that we are here. so, before i get even more carried away with this mushy love fest (i really could go on and on), i proclaim the month of MAY to be ALL ABOUT YOU!
for the next few weeks i'll be posting photos of your fellow rubber soul customers each and every day, with a short little random ditty about each person. there is no method to my madness, no particular order in which you'll see them, and no one is more a favorite than another. it's really more a combination of me remembering to bring my camera to the shop, remembering to take photos on those days i remember my camera, and being a customer that's been in in the last few weeks while aforementioned actions take place. i could do this every day for a year and not begin to cover all of you fine people.
and because we will be honoring you, our friends, all month long, we have a few fun things in store. if you are a poulsbo store customer, you can stop by and enter your name as many days as you like (maximum of once a day) for a very fun drawing held at the end of the month. thirty (THIRTY!) names will be drawn for a special YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL stamp, made just for this occasion, and one very lucky name will be drawn for a special gift basket containing over $100 in value of stamps, papers, and notecards.
if you're an out-of-towner or can't make it into the store, you can leave a comment (one per person please) at the end of this post by midnight, may 31st, and we will also pick someone via the random number generator to win a very nice $100 collection of rubber soul and wordsworth stamps! be sure to provide us a link or email address to be able to contact you, or check back here at the beginning of june to see if it's you.
AND, if you come into the shop this month, and say the words "you are beautiful", we will gift you with a free button of the same lovely words. all on-line orders placed from now through the end of the month will also find a free gift and free button in their box!
a month of free stamps, free buttons, and a ton of free love. pretty excellent, right?
That is one of the coolest stamps I have ever seen!
What a nice post, Dani, and what a nice thing to do. I miss you all. One of the nice things about Rubber Soul is the people who work there.
What a great sentiment-and a way to honor your customers!!! I love your stamps and someday hope to visit the store. You Are Beautiful Rubber Soul!!!
gosh, can you say roadtrip?!
Well, let's just see how "easy peasy" it is to win. (If it were THAT easy, this e-mail would be coming to you from my pink lap-top on a beach in Hawaii!) Please put me in the drawing; I'm tired of being a loser.
It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Battle Ground, Washington... far, far away from Poulsbo, but connected through the magic of technology. Sending your beautiful greetings back at you with thanks for such fabulous products!
What a nice, caring and thoughtful thing you are doing for your customers! Spreading the love! Thanks! I love Rubber Soul!
I've never been to your store. I wish I lived closer because I think I would really like to visit. Thanks the the chance o win such a yummy prize.
Thanks for making me feel beautiful today!
your products and this fun giveaway.
How fun. It's always nice to be appreciated.
I know that I always appreciate the friendly greeting & great customer service I receive when I make it over your way.
Thanks!! I appreciate you as well and particularly love the great selection of quotes you offer!
I love your store and think that each one of you in the store are beautiful, smart, helpful and encouraging! Thank you!!
Thank you for the cheerful email. Gives a person such warm feelings. Makes me want to come for a along visit in your shop. I could use some inspiration and advice. Hope to see you soon. Thank you again.
You are always so wonderful to your customers! Thank you for the giveaway and the lovely comments - always uplifting to hear such good things!
Thank you! This post couldn't have come at a better time, because I was really feeling down... but, I am beautiful!!
What a great contest. I hope to get in the store sometime soon. It's worth the trip. Thanks for your generosity.
What fun to check my email and see the words...You Are Beautiful...made me smile...thank you so much. Hope your feeling beautiful and enjoying this lovely day!
I miss you guys! I have been temporary working in Omaha, NE and I miss just being able to stop by on my lunch to check things out. I will be home during the next holiday, so I will be in to say hello and I am sure I will find something I just can't live without!
I just love shopping at Rubber Soul! You have such an awesome selection.
What a lovely upbeat message! I love your stamps and wish you well.
How nice to feel appreciated! Wish Rubber soul were closer to Olympia. I love your line of stamps and all the wonderful inspiration on the blog and in the store when I've been able to make the drive up. Keep up the good work creating and inspiring!
I really like your style, especially the Wordsworth stamps...Wish I could own them all!! Keep up the great work, beautiful you!
Thank YOU!!! If the Rubber Soul store was near me, I'd be hanging out there all the time :) !!! Hope you're around for many more years.
I sure miss your store in Redmond, but hope to make a fun day trip sometime to Poulsbo. Glad to hear you are doing well. I love your rubber stamps and design inspirations. Thank you for the chance to enter your contest.
Really miss the Redmond store. Please come back to the eastside! The contest sounds fun.
I was so excited to find such a great stamp, etc. store nearby. I visit often and love this place! Thanks for providing us with awesome stamps to pass on some beauty to those special to us!
Thanks for your sweet email! I love Rubber Soul and Wordsworth stamps! I live in the Midwest, but my dream trip is one to Washington state! Until then, there is the internet!
i always love a great giveaway!
Thank you for the lovely thoughts. It's nice to be appreciated. .
Thanks for all the great tips and ideas.
What a wonderful way to show your customers that you love them and that your store and YOU are really beautiful from the inside out! :) Love Poulsbo but don't get over there very often :( I did shop in Redmond when that store was open!!
Amongst all my e-mail junk was this fabulous header, "You are beautiful." Wow! Talk about a nice e-mail! Thank you Rubber Soul!
Dani and Fred...what you do...day in and day out...bringing creativity and inspiration to our lives is such a blessing. From one rubber soul to another. We love you! Thanks for always aspiring to new and innovative ideas.
What a beautiful thought. I come to Paulsbo once a year when my son gets home from deployment. It is the first place I hit when I come into town. Your stamps are amazing and I have never had anyone in the store NOT be able to give me ideas, even though I don't take any classes. 3000 miles is a long way to go just for the best stamps in the country, but for me it is worth the trip.
You are Beautiful...the store is fabulous! We're the couple who come up each year on our ANNIVERSARY from Des Moines, WA. We stay at Clearwater Resort and DO NOT leave Poulsbo without a visit to Rubber Soul! I love my online orders, too. Thanks to Dani and Fred for all their kindness and help. I found Clear Stamps thanks to Dani! Can't live without 'em now! Blessings to all of you, and YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Visiting your store, I was like a kid in a candy shop - exactly like that.
I almost deleted the email from you, but the header drew me in "You are beautiful." What a nice thing to hear first thing in the morning. I love your stamps and love your shop, they're just the best.
Thank you for carrying some great and wonderful merchandise. I love your products. It takes more than just the customers to make a business succesful. You made it for us to come back so cheerfully also.
Your store is on my list of places to visit when I come up there in June to visit my kids. We used to go to the store often but moved to the south to retire and I so miss the northwest! Can't wait to see the store as it is always like stepping into Wonderland with all the wonderful samples and the variety of supplies is such a treat! See you soon!
Thanks for making your customer feel very special this month! I think you are a special shop too!
I live in the midwest so I have not had the opportunity to visit your wonderful store but from all the gracious comments I sure wish I could. I have visited your online store and purchased a few sets that are some of my favorites. It is so refreshing to hear of a store/business that is doing well. I know I do my part to support our local stamp stores (although I'm sure my hubby would rather I didn't). Thanks for sharing your wonderful products and inspiration.
I absolutely LOVE your store. I live in Gig Harbor and I csn honestly say your store is well worth the drive. The diversity of stamps and supplies you carry is amazing. Plus you offer them at a reasonable and fair price. It is much more intimate then a big box store and the selection you offer is much more dynamic.
Our Silverdale Guild in support of Seattle Children's Hospital had such a great time making valentines with Danni!! It brightens the children's spirits. You have been so kind to work with us, we truly appreciated it and look forward to doing it again next January. You're the best!!
Rubber Soul stamps are some of my very favorites! This is such a nice gesture on your part to offer a wonderful prize that we would all LOVE to win!!
Thank you for the great giveaway and the reminder that I need to come and visit you so I may feed my stamp addiction!!
Cute stamp and generous giveaway! I've signed up for your mailing list too.
I found your website searching for card galleries.
We as a society do not tell others they are beautiful. Excellent post. Cute stamps.
Only visited you online, bot love it. Thanks for sharing.
homemamaoftwo (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Love to visit your shop in Poulsbo when I have a chance - it's always bright and cheerful and full of inspiration and creativity. Thanks for being there for all of us!
So many of my favorite stamp and paper stores have closed over the past few years - so glad you are still there! Thanks for everything!
I Still miss your Redmond Store tremendously. Sure wish you were still in the area.
might have to drive up to Washington to play!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and generous efforts to show your appreciation for your customers! I love your store, and though I don't get in there as often as I would like (due to extensive driving distance) every time I do come in, I am impressed with the beauty of your creations and look forward to my next visit.
i think that new stamp , you are beautiful is just wonderful cuz it would be nice to see on a card.
Thank you for the button. I love it. You inspire me every time I step into your store. Thanks for being you.
Thanks for having a drawing- love your products!!
I have loved Rubber Soul from day one. I think it is responsible for openning a creative door for me that has changed my world. Love you Dani, thanks for the continued inspiration and support! Thank you for the fun button.
I love this great stamp store right in the heart of lovely Poulsbo. I live in woodinville and we have a place near sequim. i love to come over to the peninsula and occasionally take stamp classes at the "soul" cant wait til we move over to the peninsula.
YOU are the ones who are beautiful. Thank you for you.
I've really enjoyed meeting your customers through your blog posts this month. I wish I were in the area, you'd be seeing me a lot! Love your super cute stamps. Keep doing what you're doing!
This contest is a wonderful idea. Thanks for your generosity. Hope your Memorial weekend is great.


The Emotional Side Of Wedding Planning - the glu.
1. Premarital counseling is a plus, no matter how little or how short. One couple told me that all they had the time to do was to take an online compatibility quiz and talk through their differences, but even that helped. Ideally, two or three sessions with either a mental health professional or clergy is best.
2. Make time for those really hard discussions when the honeymoon is over… who will pay the bills; if and when you want children; what religion, if any, will you practice, and how much time will you spend with each other's families.
3. Commit to having not only the best wedding but also the best marriage. Often lost in the silver and crystal choices are heart-to-heart talks about how you will make decisions going forward. It really does not matter which determination-making protocol you agree to, as long as you both adopt the same one!
4. Repeat often the magic mantra of Communication, Compromise, and Compassion.
5. Face the fact that just the wedding itself is stressful. Forgive each other in advance for the drama of wedding jitters and for the ups and downs of the rest of your life to come.
Actually, wedding planning itself can be good practice for marriage, since so many realities of life are involved: relatives, friends, control, financial consequences and, of course, each of your own unique psyches. If you can make the time while wedding planning to weave in emotional planning for your lives together, you are much more likely to live happily ever after.

A: Ubuntu 12.10 is end of life since May 2014, see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
Best path forward would be to upgrade to a supported release, for example a LTS release with longer support. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades for a guide how to do the upgrade from the command line.

Beauty trends, especially on Instagram, can really get out of hand, sometimes. Let's recall squiggly eyebrows, feather brows, phallic-shaped eyeliner, etc. Thank goodness they're staying in 2017.
Unfortunately, we chanced upon something more chilling in 2018. Behold, nail art that actually blinks! Yikes.
It was created by a nail artist at Russian nail shop Nail Sunny, using Huda Beauty's Desert Dusk eyeshadow palette for a dramatic eye look.
The whole process of creating the nail art (eye look?) looked extremely technical, requiring brushes, drills, scissors and fingers to create the different parts for a mobile nail art design. Kudos to the nail artist for being so creative and having the patience and skills to execute such a feat.
But the final product just makes us so uncomfortable, partly because the movement looks so real and also because it reminds us of those creepy blinking dolls. In the first place, does anyone even know why they exist?
The blinking nail art design was just the first of many mobile nail designs by the nail shop. They have also designed a twerking one and bobblehead dog as well!
Besides their whacky designs, Nail Sunny does provide regular manicures and designs for clients who just want something more simple.
Check out the Instagram post that documents the entire process that went into creating this amazingly creepy nail art.

Everything you need to know about Phase 3 of Chicago's reopening plan
You'll be able to dine al fresco, get a hair cut and go shopping as local businesses begin to reopen under new safety guidelines.
Zach Long
Wednesday June 3 2020
The "stay-at-home" order has officially expired and Chicago is beginning to cautiously reopen today, allowing many local businesses to welcome customers back for the first time in months. Wednesday, June 3 marks the beginning of Phase 3 of Chicago's reopening plan, which differs from the state's approach to reopening—Illinois ended its "stay-at-home" order and entered Phase 3 of its framework on Friday, May 29.
Many expected the city to delay its reopening timeline in light of recent protests, the enactment of a citywide curfew and limited access to the Loop. But after consulting with business owners, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has decided to move forward on June 3. Just don't expect your favorite place to open their doors today, or even this week. Many local businesses are recovering from recent damage, obtaining personal protective equipment for staff and determining how they can provide their services while keeping employees and customers safe. Rebounding from weeks of closure is going to take time, and we expect many businesses to approach the reopening with an abundance of warranted caution.
Over the past few weeks, we've been presented with a deluge of information about Phase 3 of Chicago's reopening plan, including specific safety guidelines for business and a pilot program that will allow some restaurants to seat diners on closed city streets. We've gathered all of our coverage of the Phase 3 reopening in one place, so you can easily track down the details you're looking for—and we'll continue to provide updates on businesses that are reopening as well as evolving safety guidelines.
Here's everything that's reopening in Phase 3, including restaurants, coffee shops, non-essential retail stores, hair salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors, childcare services, commercial office buildings and some outdoor attractions.
Chicago libraries and park facilities will open on June 8, but the park facilities that are reopening only include those that are west of Lake Shore Drive.
Here are the safety guidelines that different types of businesses will need to follow in Phase 3. Get used to wearing a face covering and maintaining six feet of social distance from others, because protecting yourself and other is still extremely important.
Here's what outdoor dining at restaurant will look like. You'll have to make a reservation, dine with parties of no more than six people and wear your face covering whenever you're not seated. You'll also be responsible for boxing your own leftovers.
Chicago bars that serve food are also allowed to reopen. If your favorite bar has a kitchen and outdoor dining space, they're included in this phase of Chicago's plan. Bars that exclusively serve booze will have to wait, largely due to the fact that tipsy people aren't great at following social-distancing rules.
The city is closing six streets to make way for outdoor dining. A pilot program will close roads in neighborhoods like the West Loop, Lakeview and Chatham, allowing restaurant to offer seated dining in streets and parking lots. Later in the month, several roads in neighborhoods will close to traffic to allow more space for walkers, joggers and cyclists.

Meet meerkats, fly through the air on a zip wire and race around in go karts – all in one day at Tapnell Farm Park.
The perfect place for all the family, you can enjoy indoor and outdoor fun, learn about animals and take in some of the best views on the Isle of Wight.
The friendly group of animals at Tapnell Farm include wallabies, goats, sheep, pigs and meerkats, and many more. Daily activity sessions mean you can get hands on – feed wallabies, handle bugs and learn all about the furry residents.
Children (and adults) can go wild in the play barn, with a 2-storey soft play zone, while there is a dedicated toddler area. Outdoors, you'll find jumping pillows for bouncing, pedal go karts for racing and a zip wire to fly through the air.
When it's time to wind down, munch on a variety of snacks and refreshments (many of which are gluten and dairy free) at the Farm Park Café. And, if you're looking for something a little more filling, The Cow Co Restaurant is only next door, specialising in delicious burgers and steaks.
Opening times may vary, please check the attractions website for details.

Astros not on Reddick's radar at beginning of free agency
HOUSTON (AP) Josh Reddick never expected to hear from the Houston Astros.
''I didn't know if I was on these guy's radar,'' the outfielder said Wednesday after finalizing a $52 million, four-year contract. ''It was something that came out of nowhere for me, not in a bad way. I was very excited to hear from them. Texas is something that brings me a little closer to home.''
Reddick, who is from Georgia, was drafted by Boston in 2006, traded to Oakland after the 2011 season and dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers at last summer's trade deadline on Aug. 1. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Houston and Oakland talked about a possible deal.
''This is going to be a winning environment for the next four years,'' Luhnow said, describing his pitch to Reddick. ''We were willing to commit to the length of the deal early. Really felt like he fit in well with the culture that we're trying to build here. It spoke to him because he's seen it firsthand.''
Reddick, who gets $13 million in each of the next four seasons, appealed to the Astros as a free agent because he bats left-handed, won a Gold Glove and does not turn 30 until February.
In eight big league seasons, Reddick has 96 homers, 346 RBIs and a .255 batting average.
''Get to stay in the same division. Very comfortable being in this division,'' Reddick said. ''I know how things work. I know the stadiums. I know the pitching staffs. I know the hitters. So it's going to make this a very easy transition for me.''
Minute Maid Park was considered to be hitter friendly, even before renovations this offseason moved the center field wall in from 436 feet to 409. Reddick is looking forward to hitting more home runs in Houston than he did at the Oakland Coliseum.
''Hopefully some of these fly balls I've hit at the Coliseum over the last 4 1/2 years can maybe be 10 rows deep here,'' he said.
Reddick did not want to drag out contract talks.
''I think it was good before the winter meetings so you didn't have to worry about all the hype,'' he said. ''Go home and for the next 2 1/2 months train and get ready. Relax a lot better knowing I have a home and a good home once it comes around to February.''

Restoration of terraces and balconies with AquaDrain EK
In 2005 a 20-hour fire destroyed large parts of Elmau Castle near Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. The fire was so severe that four million litres of water were used to put out the flames. Thanks to the efforts of the owners, the luxury hotel was rebuilt however in time for the G7 summit to show it in all its glory – as well as the completion of the new Elmau Castle Retreat. Gutjahr System Technology for external tiling, now available from BAL – the UK's market-leader in full tiling solution – played a vital role in protecting the balconies and terraces of both hotels.
On 7 and 8 June 2015 when David Cameron, Angela Merkel, Barack Obama and the other leaders of the seven leading industrial nations strolled around Elmau Castle all memories of the great fire had long been forgotten as the castle emerged like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Following the fire, castle owner Dietmar Muller-Elmau invested around €40million to rebuild the listed building. Together with architect Christoph Sattler, a cousin of Mr Muller-Elmau and grandson of the original builder of 1914, and a team of other architects and designers, a concept was developed for a modern spa hotel within the ancient walls. The result was a modern, five-star superior luxury. It is now one of the "Leading Hotels of the World" and has been recognised as such several times.
In March 2015, the additional Elmau Castle Retreat was opened 150 meters west of the castle hidden in the hillside. From the balconies and terraces of the new building, the politicians of the G7 summit were presented with a breath-taking view of the nearby Wetterstein Mountains.
Natural Stone for balconies and terraces
As part of the renovation it was proposed to cover the balconies and terraces with Brazillian quartzite tiles. For six months contractors worked at the castle – up to 45 men at peak times – to complete the tiling.
Rising to 1,000 meters above sea level, the castle faces extreme weather conditions including cold winters, excessive rain fall and variable temperatures. Since the natural stone specified is particularly sensitive, precautions were necessary to protect it from ugly efflorescence and water staining.
Experts recognised this in advance and so specified the AquaDrain EK drainage system for external tiling – now available from BAL.
AquaDrain EK is a passive capillary surface drainage matting, designed for the installation of natural stone, tiles and slabs on drainage mortar on balconies, terraces and roof terraces.
The combination of drainage mortar and drainage mat is recommended by the German Natural Stone Association in its literature. This is because studies have shown that the drainage capacity of drainage mortar is not enough and can cause problems with the installation of drain grates.
The AquaDrain EK drainage mat channels water effectively away from the surface, avoiding any damage. Ventilation underneath also ensure the lining dries faster, while the mesh fabric remains permanently permeable to water without permitting the entry of mortar or cement which could block the capillary system.
Comfortable transitions from inside to outside
A crucial part of the re-build was the transition from the balconies and terraces to the interior of Elmau Castle. German regulations state that transitions between interior and exterior tiling should be at least 150mm, to prevent water running behind the seal and entering the interior. However due to the architectural approach of the luxury hotel, this was impractical, requiring a solution only Gutjahr could fulfil.
With special drain grates made of stainless steel, transitions were reduced to a more convenient 50mm, while still meeting building regulations and at the same time ensuring interiors are kept dry. Thanks to the AquaDrain drain grates, water is captured at the transitions and directed into the attached surface drainage mat and away from the balcony or terrace.
AquaDrain drain grates are extremely flexible being easily height adjustable and easy to cut to length on site.
8 years without damage
Six years after the re-opening of Elmau Castle, construction began on the second hotel.
"The balconies and terraces of the parent venue were still in perfect condition," said Ralph Johan, Gutjahr Managing Director.
"Therefore, the client decided to protect the exterior of the new Elmau Castle Retreat with the Gutjahr System Technology."
No sooner said than done: on 400 square meters of terraces, Brazilian quartzite was also protected against the elements with AquaDrain EK.
Gutjahr System Technology from BAL
Gutjahr System Technology from BAL represents drainage, ventilating and uncoupling solutions for balconies, patios, terraces and on facades and interiors.
Its innovative technology helps protect external installation from frost damage, staining and water damage.
For more than 25 years, BAL's sister company Gutjahr have developed long-lasting trouble-free coverings even on problem substrates throughout Europe from prestigious projects including Amsterdam Library, The Palace of Hambach, and the Weimar National Theatre, to small domestic projects.
Now available to order, Gutjahr system technology represents a breakthrough in the UK market for simple, safe and strong solutions for outdoor tiling installations and provides a complete system for all products required for external tiling, from market-leaders BAL

HJ: Pranam Swamiji, In every religion karma yoga is described. Even Shri Krishna has given lecture on karma yoga. Idea of karma yog is so simple but how to implement it in day to day life. Some point I noticed and I have doubt for same. Please enlighten me for below.
1)How can I avoid criticizing others? I can not get rid of people around me and every one in day to day life criticizing someone directly or indirectly (even writing so is criticism I am doing for others). I can control myself not to criticize others but sometimes i also get involved. Rag, Dwesh, tamas. I analyze daily myself for same. Up to certain extent i am able to change myself a lot but still I need change.
2) Swamiji I am planning to come for Yajyen. It would not be possible for me to attend full session but at least of one week I will try to manage.Please pray for me i will get leave from office and circumstances would be fine.
i.e., Oh! God my senses, organs and perceptions should perform daily Yajyen/agnihotra with Ved mantras, which are the best pious deeds of the universe.
Yajyen only inspires us to serve mother, father, learned atithi, learned acharya. In the absence of performance of Yajyen, nowadays, parents and elders are being mostly badly treated and their future is in darkness.
i.e., inspite of present worship and doing deeds at one's own discretion, the people are experiencing sorrows.
Clouds cause rain and grow food grains, clouds are formed as a result of Yajyen and Yajyen is performed, under the guidance of a learned Acharya of Vedas, through pious deeds. In Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta, Yogeshwer Krishna preaches to men and women, to be industrious and hard working so as to perform Yajyen. As a result of this timely rains shall occur leading to growth of enough food grains. Otherwise, inadequacy or scarcity of food grains and water shell retard the growth of human beings and end their lives. At present, due to non performance of Yajyen, the growth and nutrition of human –beings is not in conformity with the required standards. Long, happy lives are also not being attained.
Samveda is acclaimed most, glorified and praised for preaching the worship of God through Yajyen and practice of Ashtang Yoga that is, Samveda states especially about worship (upasana) in detail.
Sri Krishna himself states in Geeta shloka 10/22 that – "I am Samveda among four Vedas." The underlying meaning of this statement is that Samveda is liked the most by Yogeshwer Sri Krishna because in Samveda, most of the preach has been given on worship and worship of God is the main motto of human life.
Samveda Mantra 942 states that offerings given in the pious fire of Yajyen "Vacham Janayan" generates sweet voice within offerer. Due to lack of such offerings, mostly people utter bitter, harsh and unsweet speech. This is not being digested in the families now a days.
Samveda Mantra 952 says that Yajyen generates divine merriment "Madaye Chakaanaha" and bestows eternal satisfaction on the soul. Let us all peep within ourselves to check whether we are experiencing merriment or are facing day to day problem of sorrows, sickness etc. Is not it that we are against Samveda and have left worship of God by performance of daily havan/Yajyen.
Yajyen/ havan is the order of God and non-compliance of man to such divine order is due to his indulgence in illusion.
Samveda mantras 981, 1355 state that Yajyen bestows wealth and assets on the aspirant. Now mostly the people are poor and rich are not satisfied.
Samveda mantra 948 states "Yajyen Vajihee Naha Upaagamat" i.e., Yajyen bestows all wealth, assets on the aspirant and increases the agricultural yield and food stock of the performers of Yajyen.
Samveda mantra 975 states "Saubhaga Parisrava" i.e., Yajyen showers good fortune on the aspirant.
Samveda mantra 886 states that when the offerings are given in the pious fire of Yajyen by the aspirants and learned /Rishis, then the particles offerings, in minutest form, reach the space and cause timely rains as a result, they control pollution and make the atmosphere pure.
Samveda mantra 1186 states that Som Yajyen increases the intensity of rainfall and production of food grains. Now, there is food problem.
Samveda mantra 1363 clearly states that he who loves/ adores Yajyen, he only is capable to concentrate/meditate in omnipresent God. In the absence of performance of Yajyen, mostly people do not know the real form of the God as per Vedas. As a result, they do not love God and mostly the worship is converted into formality.
Samveda mantra 1280 states that Yajyen purifies mind and intellect.
Samveda mantra 1105 states that Yajyen devastates and conquers the enemies. The place where Yajyen is performed is sacred that is "Tirath". Whereas people have made their own Tirath against Vedas.
Samveda mantra 1060 says that Yajyen bestows 30,000 merriment or happiness immediately on the aspirant. In other Samveda mantra it is stated that when aspirant performs Yajyen, his 810 sins are burnt. So if we perform Yajyen for whole of our lives' like Shri Ram, we can be free from sins.
Samveda mantra 881 states that Almighty God establishes Himself in Yajyen.
In Samveda mantra 873 God states that He is fond of Yajyen and He loves those who perform daily Yajyen.
Hence, misled by saints who are against Vedas , innocent public has given up performing Yajyen, as a result of which, the whole earth is facing the shortage of rains, water, long life, food stock, wealth, merriment, brotherhood, peace etc. God states in Rig-Veda mantra 9/15/2 and Samveda mantra 1266 that for performing Yajyen, one must do pious deeds accompanied by hard work otherwise Yajyen cannot be performed. These mantras prove that lazy, uninspired, non-deligent, non-listener of Vedas cannot perform Yajyen. Sri Krishna Maharaj states in Geeta shloka 3/10 that God has created eternal worship by means of Yajyen and has ordered to perform Yajyen.
(1) As I have told above that when the worship starts then the devotee becomes capable of controlling his senses, intellect and mind. Then, the stage of controlling anger, criticism, raag, dwesh, tamas vritti etc., is achieved and these vices are given up. Actually, this matter relates to the devotee. Otherwise, no one can control senses, intellect and mind. That is why, Sri Krishna Maharaj in Bhagwad Geeta shloka 12/19 states that Oh! Arjun, such devotee remains stable/unaffected in the circumstances of criticism, praise and he always remains contented in earnings which he gets easily. That is, he controls his unnecessary desires.
(2) You are always welcome here, please. It is mentioned in Samveda mantra that in forest, thirsty birds and animals automatically search the river etc., to quench their thirst, similarly aspirants seek the place, where Yajyen/Vedic preach (eternal knowledge) is delivered. I pray to God to fulfill your pious desire, my blessings are always with you.
Rohit: Swamiji: pranam- mera prashan ye hai ke maine ek show main dekha ki ek muslim philospher keh raha tha ki bhagwaan krishna ne bhi teen vivah kiye the toh hindu kaise keh sekte hai ke hum muslim agar ek se jaada shaadi karte hai toh wo galat hai.
Swami Ramswarup: My blessings to you. Bhagwan Krishna had only one wife, her name was Rukmanni. However, in Puranns and other books, it is stated that Satyabhama was also his wife etc., but the authentic holy books Mahabharat, written by Vyasmuniji, states that Sri Krishna Maharaj had only one wife.

This design has been replaced by the newer 20 Amp SCC3 design.
Buy the SCC3 Kit (circuit board and parts) and see the SCC3 schematic.
The SCC2 is a solar charge controller, it's function is to regulate the power flowing from a photovoltaic panel into a rechargeable battery. It features easy setup with one potentiometer for the float voltage adjustment, an equalize function for periodic overcharging, and automatic temperature compensation for better charging over a range of temperatures.
The goal of the circuit design was to make a charge controller with analog simplicity, high efficiency, and reliability. A medium power solar system can be built with a 12V solar panel up to 10 amps, the SCC2, and a lead acid or other rechargeable up to a few hundred amp hour capacity. The SCC2 can be operated at battery voltages other than 12V, it can work at 6V and 24V by changing a few parts. Operation at voltages between 6V and 24V is also possible.
The SCC2 acts as a medium power DC current switch between the + terminals of the PV and battery. Diode D1 prevents reverse night time current flow from the battery back to the PV panel.
When the PV voltage is high enough to charge the battery, zener diode D2 conducts and turns on transistor Q2. Q2 switches the power for the rest of the circuit on. The circuit is switched off at night. IC2 provides a 5 volt regulated voltage to power the comparator circuits, it also provides a reference voltage for comparator IC1a.
When the battery voltage is below the desired full voltage and needs charging, comparator IC1a turns on and activates Q1 and Q3, this allows the solar charging current to flow into the battery. Note that Q3 is a P-channel mosfet, this allows the circuit to be wired with a common ground for the solar panel and battery. The solar current loop is drawn in heavy lines on the schematic.
When the battery reaches the full charge point, IC1a operates as a comparator based schmidt trigger oscillator, it switches the solar current off and on. The switching causes the battery voltage to oscillate a few tens of millivolts above and below the desired set point. A rail-to-rail op-amp is required for proper operation, 741 style op-amps will not work in this circuit.
The red/green charging/full LED is driven between the output of IC1a and IC1b. IC1b has an inverted version of the IC1a signal. Pin 5 of IC1b only needs an approximate center point to work as an on-off comparator, it is connected to the varying IC1a pin 2 so that it does not require another reference divider circuit.
The resistors and thermistor on the input side of IC1a form a resistive bridge circuit that is used to compare the battery voltage to a reference voltage coming from IC2/R8/R9. The potentiometer adjusts the voltage point around which the circuit will oscillate on full charge. Resistor R7 adds positive feedback to IC1a for a schmidt trigger characteristic. The thermistor provides thermal compensation, as the temperature goes down, the full voltage goes up.
The equalize switch, S1a, forces the circuit on for intentional overcharging. Switch S1b and R1 can be used to select a different float voltage range, you can experiment with this by using different values of R1, typically R1 should be greater than 1M.
this also that the panel is capable of charging the battery.
the led should show alternating colors.
for a wet cell.  For 6V, divide those by two, for 24V, multiply by 2.
Follow your battery manufacturer's recommendations for the best settings.
Readjust the float voltage after the battery has reached a full charge.
The float voltage should be set when the circuit is at room temperature.
Connect the solar panel to the SCC2 solar panel input connectors, connect the battery to the SCC2 output connectors. Put the solar panel in the sun, and watch the battery charge up. Systems where the battery is frequently discharged way down should occasionally be run in equalize mode for a few hours or a full day. It is best to monitor the battery voltage during this operation, disable equalization if the battery voltage goes above 16V (12V version).
The SCC2 kit has sold out, it has been replaced by the higher current SCC3.

Kitenge Showcases Their African Clothes in London with other Social Enterprises
In November and December 2017, we were invited to join several other inspiring social enterprises at Christmas Fairs in corporate offices across London selling our latest African fashion wear.
Kitenge Store's founder, Sian, standing behind our stall at PwC's Social Enterprise Christmas Fair wearing one of our African print tops
From RSA's boardroom in the landmark Walkie Talkie building to PwC's staff restaurant in their More London Riverside office near Tower Bridge, the fairs were a great opportunity for social enterprises to showcase their products. It even started to snow during one of the fairs, which really got us in the festive mood!
All of the companies (RSA Insurance Group, PwC professional services firm and Linklaters law firm) are corporate supporters of the School for Social Entrepreneurs, of which our founder, Sian, is a fellow after graduating from their Fellowship course in March 2017.
Sian collecting her Certificate of Fellowship from Alastair Wilson, CEO, School for Social Entrepreneurs
This blog post introduces you to some the other fantastic social enterprises, supported by these companies and the School for Social Entrepreneurs, and highlights the fantastic work that they do!
Alive & Kicking
Alive & Kicking make durable sports balls in Ghana, Kenya and Zambia. They provide local employment; teach young people how to play football and raise awareness of diseases such as HIV and malaria through sport.
Art Box London
The Art Box work with people with learning disabilities to create, exhibit and sell their own art work providing them with an income. They also run workshops and organise trips to museums, libraries and galleries.
Cafe Art
Cafe Art showcases artwork created by people who are homeless or socially vulnerable in over twenty independent cafes across London.
They also run a photography contest each year by giving the homeless 100 disposable cameras. The winning photographs are published in a calendar and displayed in an exhibition, which raises money for homeless charities.
The winners are paid for their photographs; they can also sell the calendar themselves and receive training in photography by the Royal Photographic Society. The project also helps to increase their confidence and self-esteem.
Harry Specters
Harry Specters make delicious chocolates that create employment opportunities for young people with autism. They are involved in every process from making and packaging the chocolates to administration, design and photography. Profits from the business go towards social activities, personal development and training.
Stand 4 Socks
Stand 4 Socks sells comfortable, good quality socks made from bamboo that support 12 global causes. These include providing education for children, a family with clean access to water and helping the homeless. Each pair of socks supports a different worthy cause.
The Soap Co
Soap Co create luxury, eco-friendly hand and body soaps that are handcrafted in the UK by people who are blind, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged. They use only natural ingredients in their products, which are never tested on animals.
Toast beer is made using unsold loaves of bread from bakeries and unused crusts from sandwich makers. This helps to reduce the 44% of wasted bread in the UK alone. All profits go to an environmental charity called Feedback, which campaigns to help end food waste.
Our founder, Sian, set herself a challenge to buy all her Christmas gifts in 2017 from social enterprises so that the money spent went to good causes and helped small communities. It was a pleasure to meet all the people behind these social enterprises and to help support their causes.
