POWER OFF GRID: BENEFITS OF A POWER OFF GRID SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME
POWER OFF GRID: BENEFITS OF A POWER OFF GRID SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME
Power off grid systems are generally utilized in remote locations without the benefit of a utility grid. The power off grid system can also be used in an area where furbishing a power line to the local utility grid is prohibitively expensive, or in an area where blackouts and/or brownouts are frequent. With an off grid solar power system, you would be able to provide the energy necessary to light up a cabin, home or business.
Power off grid systems comprehensively alleviate a home’s dependency on utility electrical grids. Usually, the power off grid systems require a higher initial investment than grid-tie systems. The difference is because there is a greater demand on the power off grid system. A grid-tie system usually supplements a home’s energy demands, which reduces the amount of energy required from the utility grid. In contrast, a power off grid system is responsible for providing all power to the household appliances and tools.

When designing a power off grid system, it is best to take a holistic approach and envision the completed project from a “big picture” perspective. This strategy is even necessary when deciding something as simple as the type of light bulbs that will be utilized. Standard incandescent lighting is extremely energy inefficient, and as such, you may want to consider fluorescent or LED lighting instead.
Power off grid systems are usually bigger than most grid-tie systems. For the power off grid system to be fully independent, a system must have a greater array of energy-producing panels, which in turn requires more batteries to store the charge and more equipment to regulate the charge. However, even though the power off grid system requires a bigger initial investment, in the long run, a power off grid system may save you thousands in energy costs.

Here are the main components to a power off grid system:
(1) Solar Array: A Solar Array is a group of solar panels which absorb solar energy and convert this to DC power. The number and type of solar panels will determine how much energy you can produce, as will your geographic location.
(2) PV Combiner Box: The PV Combiner Box usually includes GFCIs which protect your solar power system from equipment damage caused by power surges and short circuits. You can also shut down your solar power system at a moment’s notice, allowing for safe maintenance, repair, and inspection.
(3) Charge Controller: Your batteries will accept all electrical current running from the solar array, but overcharging can ruin them. Charge controllers ensure batteries don’t receive current when they’re charged to capacity, protecting your investment.
(4) DC Breaker Box: The DC Breaker Box includes a disconnect which will regulate the relationship between the battery bank and the inverter so it can be shut down at a moment’s notice to replace, repair, or inspect the batteries safely.
(5) Battery Bank: Batteries store the energy you collect through your array. Power off grid systems must collect enough energy to power your home or business until your batteries can be charged again.
(6) Inverter: Inverters take DC power and convert it to AC power. Most electrical systems (like that found in your home) run off of AC power.
(7) Back-up Generator: A back-up power supply is important to compensate for weather patterns which might otherwise disrupt your array’s collection.

Past Life Regression Techniques
Aug 12th
Past Life Regression Techniques
Past life regression techniques include different proficiencies such as hypnotic techniques and non-hypnotic techniques for recalling the past lives. When individuals approach a PLR (past life regression) therapist, the therapist may use any of the techniques in which they have obtained certification.
In certain past life regression techniques, therapists perform hypnotism on the individuals. It includes the condition in which individuals slip into altered state of mind and consciousness. In this stage, therapists take a particular subject, which is bothering individuals in their present lives. There are two techniques in hypnotism method.
Past Life Regression Technique 1:
In this method, therapists take individuals in hypnotism state as described above. However, in this method, therapists may create or set up an atmosphere so that individuals go back in their past lifetime. In this state, therapists take any particular subject and root it in the mind of individuals by giving constant prompting.
Therapists inquire about the subject in such a way that individuals reach relaxation levels. In this state of sub-consciousness, therapists try to access the past life memories.
After reaching the desired level of consciousness, the subject is then lapsed gradually to the in-utero stage wherein individuals recall flashes of their inter-life conditions, and their past lives memories glitter in the awareness of subject. As a result, individuals describe those memories verbally.
Cause-Effect Or Karma:
Second type of past life regression techniques in hypnotism includes cause-effect method. This method follows the principle of karma (principle of existing, causes and effects). Some therapists believe that, whatever individuals do in past lives, their effects are directly seen in present lives. Thus, if people do something good in their past life, they do not usually encounter problems in their present life.
Therapists consider the birth time, date, and state of the individuals to obtain information about their past life. In short, an individual’s past creates a pertinent effect on the present physical, emotional, spiritual or mental health. For instance, therapists say if past vows, promises, decisions or thoughts remain unfulfilled, then they may create adverse effects on the individual’s present life.
Non-Hypnotic Method:
In non-hypnotic techniques or bridge techniques, intense emotions, words, visions, phrases or physical sensations may instantly bridge conflicts of the present life to the past.
Here, individuals automatically slip into consciousness without having to undergo the formal transition state.
Thus, past life regression techniques help to identify root of problems and this helps to clear unwarranted fears and overcome present life difficulties.
Past Life Regression Training:
Past life regression training helps people whose memories haunt them. Past lives exist in the memories of people. When human soul restores to life, the traumatic memories recreate keeping individuals from living peacefully. They return to conscious awareness due to many factors such as depression, anxiety, obsessions, panic attacks, anger, physical pain that is beyond explanation, nightmare and phobias.
Past life regression training offers individuals to look beyond illusions and confusions of life. It proves beneficial in bringing about past life healing that resounds in present life.
Objective:
Past life regression training helps the emotional experiences or unconscious mind to become conscious completely. Main objective of past life regression training is to resolve the unconscious scripts based on survival, which affect negatively on a person’s health, lifestyle and behavior.
Training Methodology:
Past life regression training in the initial four days makes individuals familiar with how past lives work. Training workshops complete the training for the remaining four days.
While having an insight of any individual’s past, past life regression training covers a wide range of topics as below:
1.It asks directive questions for exploring the past life.
2.Imagery subject to guidance regarding past lives.
3.Past life regression training deals with the experience of death.
4.Identification of shut down points.
5.This program helps to recognize and overcome attachments at the time of death.
6.Past life regression training uses techniques for avoiding any diversion when it explores past lives.
7.It integrates the soul fragments of its clients.
8.It aims at finding techniques so there is forgiveness and reconciliation in the realms of the spirit.
9.Past life regression training uses mediation methods along with the use of guides and spirit helpers.
10.The purpose of such training workshops is to finish the work that was left undone in past life.
Body Therapy:
Here, regression therapists explore and transform present life memory of individuals. The body therapy works with the body patterns. The therapists interview clients so they recollect past memories.
Regression Therapy:
Past life regression training covers past life of an individual, which includes covering memories from recent life too. It resolves the disputes related to past life, which distort an individual’s emotional, physical and mental well-being in recent life.
The training program goes deep into finding the root cause disturbing an individual’s life. Past life regression training heals a person from within and helps to attain emotional, physical and spiritual relief.

In the Bible versus the Quran: the Moon Stood Still at the Light of the Arrows
The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament. The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times
In the Bible, Habakkuk 3:11 says that the sun and moon stood still in their places at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.
In the Quran, Verse 35:13 says that Allah subdued the light of the sun and the moon to the service of human beings; and He has disposed the sun and the moon, each, of them, is moving, in its course, to an appointed term; to the Day of Resurrection.
———————————————–
Habakkuk 3:11 in four different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
11 Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear.
New American Standard Bible
11 Sun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the light of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.
English Standard Version

King James Version
11The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
——-
The meaning of the verse:
Sun and Moon stopped in their tracks; your flashing arrows stopped them; your lightning-strike spears impaled them.
In other words, the verse says that the sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.
It should be emphasized that the bible (Joshua 10) says also that the sun and the moon stood still for 24 hours in order to give Joshua the chance to kill thousands of kids, girls, women, young men and old men.
See the article: The Moon in the Bible versus the Quran (1) in this series (1-10).

Chapter 35: FATIR (THE ANGELS)
Verse 35:13 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
QARIB: he causes the night to enter into the day and the day into the night. he has subjected the sun and the moon each running for a named term. such is Allah, your lord. to him belongs the kingdom; and those whom you call upon, other than him, do not possess even as much as the membrane of a date-stone.
SHAKIR: he causes the night to enter in upon the day, and he causes the day to enter in upon the night, and he has made subservient (to you) the sun and the moon; each one follows its course to an appointed time; this is Allah, your lord, his is the kingdom; and those whom you call upon besides him do not control a straw.
PICKTHAL: he maketh the night to pass into the day and he maketh the day to pass into the night. he hath subdued the sun and moon to service. each runneth unto an appointed term. such is Allah, your lord; his is the sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of him own not so much as the white spot on a date-stone.
YUSUFALI: he merges night into day, and he merges day into night, and he has subjected the sun and the moon (to his law): each one runs its course for a term appointed. such is Allah your lord: to him belongs all dominion. and those whom ye invoke besides him have not the least power.
——-
The meaning of the verse:
Allah makes the night pass, enter, into the day, so that it becomes longer, and He makes the day pass into the night, so that it becomes longer.
Allah subdued the light of the sun and the moon to the service of human beings. And He has disposed the sun and the moon, each, of them, is moving, in its course, to an appointed term; to the Day of Resurrection.
That is Allah, your Lord; to Him all sovereignty belongs.
It is Allah, your Lord, Who does so, not the deities;
His is the Sovereignty, the Storehouses of the universe
As for those on whom you call, whom you worship, besides Allah, in other words, other than Him, they do not possess even so much as the husk of a date-stone.
In other words, those unto whom you pray, those whom you worship instead of Allah, they are unable to own of all that even the white spot on a date stone, i.e., they possess nothing.

Questioning Skills
Aug 9th
Questioning Skills
Questioning Skills is an important part of good communication. There are several different types of questions that you can use to collect information. However, at the outset of any conversation it is important to establish what you are trying to achieve:
Assess/Clarify the customer’s need
Obtain hard facts
Confirm your understanding of a process, issue or problem
Sell a new idea or proposition to the customer
Provide the solution
Once you have answered these questions you can then employ a wide range of these techniques to elicit customer responses. The ease with which you handle these techniques will come only with confidence developed with experience.
The key to both answering and framing questions is preparation which leads to a systematic process of thinking. Properly asked and answered questions leads to more effective communication.
Let us start with the two most important types of questions:
1. Open-ended questions
2. Close-ended questions
CLOSED PROBES OPEN PROBES It is used to gather factual information. It is used to stimulate conversation. It evokes a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ response. It evokes a flow of information about the concerned issue. A typical closed probe begins with ‘Do’ ,‘Is’ ,’Can’, ‘Could’,’ Will’,’ Would’,’ Shall’, and’ Should’ Open probes start with words like ‘How’, ‘Why’, ‘When’, ‘Where’, ‘What’, ‘ Who’, and ‘Which’ The questions are simple, straightforward and direct. Open questions encourage dialogue by asking for elaboration on an idea. They push you to take a position or be committed to a cause. It allows you to express opinions about various points of view on the issue. Closed questions are easy to answer, and are often used to direct a conversation. Open probes are harder to answer and cannot be used to direct a conversation.
As a general rule, when you meet someone for the first time it is important to ask open-ended questions. This will enable you to get more details because of the flow of conversation. It is appropriate to ask close-ended questions when you know the person and would like get some specific facts or answers. When close-ended questions are used with people you are not familiar with, it can be seen as directive and rude.
Examples of close-ended questions:
“Do you see a flashing red light?”
“When did you return from your vacation?”
“How old is the cartridge?”
Examples of open-ended questions:
“How may I help you?”
“What other problems are you having?”
“Tell me more about the situation that happened with the client?”
3. Providing Non-verbal Encouragement during conversation: Non-Verbal Encouragement involves making sounds such as “Ah?” “Oh?” “Uhh?” “Hmm?”“Okay” as your customer talks. This reassures the customer that the agent is giving his/her full attention to the conversation. This is a rapport building technique that encourages the customer to talk further.
4. Using the Pause
When asked questions, often times people ponder before they speak. But people are uncomfortable with silence and tend to fill the void with either another question or a statement. This could result in a customer failing to offer an important piece of information. On the other hand a pause provides an opportunity for the customer to give more thought to the issue. This enables you to attain more focused answers from the customer. An aptly used pause is a powerful technique.
As Mark Twain once wrote:
“The right word may be effective but no word was ever as effective as a rightly time pause.”
5. Using Summaries
Summarize regularly throughout the conversation. Summary questions keep the customer focused on the conversation. It also enables the speaker to regain control when the customer’s attention has drifted.
This technique is very helpful for the following reasons:
Controlling talkative customers
Ensuring that your understanding of the facts is the same as that of the customer’s
Moving from one topic to another seamlessly
Some examples of summary statements involve phrases such as:
“As I have understood, what you are saying is that…”
“So what I heard you say is…. Is that correct?”
6. Counter-productive Questions are of two types:
a. Multiple Questions
b. Leading Questions
Any question that interrupts the smooth flow of a conversation could be called Counter-Productive.
Multiple Questions:
Multiple questions often confuse the customer. It causes the customer to overlook some of the questions and be selective in their answers.
Example:
“What is the best two hour time frame to call and which time zone are you in?”
Leading Questions
Leading questions indicates to the customer that a certain type of response is required. The tone of the voice used with these questions is often judgmental such as:
“You’ve got to admit that…?”
“Isn’t it a fact that…?”
“You’ve got to agree that…?”
With these questions the speaker is expecting a “Yes or No” answer from the customer. This would appear to be very controlling to the customer and could very easily breakdown any rapport or trust that was built.
Leading questions should only be used when a person of a higher designation is talking to someone of a lower designation. So if your boss asks you, “Are you planning to stay after the meeting?” – he/she means that you should be staying after the meeting. Hence these questions are seen as very directive and can often interfere with relationships if not used judiciously.
Using the right questions is very important in getting useful information as well as in building relationships.
