In a new study, Berkeley Lab researchers found that commercial solar's installed costs are falling faster than residential ones, thanks to more lucrative incentives. The trend could be reversed as a result of changes in federal laws.
The costs of installing solar energy systems dropped from $10.50 per watt in 1998 to $7.60 per watt in 2007, according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study released Thursday.
Those declines amount to an average of 30 cents per watt, or 3.5 percent, per year. The costs remained relatively flat in 2006 and 2007, however. The calculations, based on 2007 dollars, didn't include any cash rebates or tax credits.
The researchers, Ryan Wiser, Galen Barbose and Carla Peterman, pored over data from 37,000 grid-connected solar-panel systems in 12 states. Arizona takes the prize for having the lowest cost for systems with less than 10 kilowatts in capacity, followed by California and New Jersey, according to the study, "Tracking the Sun: The Installed Cost of Photovoltaics in the U.S. From 1998–2007."
Panel prices played a minor part in causing the cost declines. Instead, the cost of labor, inverters, marketing, among others, contributed to cheaper installations, the study showed. The researchers calculated the non-module costs and found that they slid from $5.7 per watt in 1998 to $3.6 per watt in 2007.
"This suggests that state and local PV deployment programs – which likely have a greater impact on non-module costs than on module prices – have been at least somewhat successful in spurring cost reductions," according to the report.
States with strong incentive programs also tend to have more companies competing for providing installation and other services. Arizona, California and New Jersey are among states that offer more generous tax and cash incentives. In fact, New Jersey's program was so popular that the state ended almost the entire rebate program last year (see Budget Shortfalls Could Shrink States' Solar Incentives).
The Berkeley Lab researchers examined the average costs of installing systems that are less than 10 kilowatts in 2006 and 2007, and found that Arizona enjoyed the lowest cost, at $7.60 per watt, while California offered $8.10 per watt. New Jersey came in third at $8.40 per watt. Maryland's systems cost the most: $10.60 per watt.
Looking at data for those sub-10-kilowatt installations in 2006 and 2007, the researchers also found that systems that use thin-film panels cost on average $0.5 per watt more than those using crystalline silicon panels. The difference wasn't as great for systems larger than 10 kilowatts.
A residential system costs less to install if it comes with a new home, the study said. In fact, it cost $0.60 per watt less than similar-sized system in an existing home, the researchers found when they compared those installations in California in 2006 and 2007.
State and federal incentives, along with those offered by some utilities, have been instrumental in making solar energy systems more affordable to homeowners and business. The researchers found that cash incentives have fallen while other types of lures have become more lucrative, including the federal investment tax credit (ITC).
More incentives became available to commercial installations in 2006 thanks to a change in ITC. Counting all the cash and tax incentives – and factoring the taxes on those cash incentives – the researchers figured that the total after-tax incentives for a commercial system was $3.90 per watt in 2007, the highest during the 10-year period.
In contrast, after-tax incentives for residential installations reached an average of $3.1 per watt in 2007, the lowest since 2001. This trend could reverse as a result of a change to the ITC this year that lifted a cap for residential installations, making the tax credit comparable to the one for commercial projects.
Overall, the net cost of installing a residential system (after factoring all available private, state and federal incentives) reached an average of $5.1 per watt in 2007, roughly 7 percent below the 2001 levels, the study showed. The net cost for a commercial system averaged $3.9 per watt in 2007, which is 32 percent below the 2001 levels.
The researchers said although costs for all types of systems remained flat between 2005 and 2007, they could fall dramatically in the coming years. Solar industry executives and analysts have predicted a decline of five to more than 20 percent in panel prices this year. Plus, the $787 billion economic stimulus package signed by President Obama this week also could significantly boost the solar market demand in the United States over the next few years.


Can I link 2 or more than 2 active directories to Tableau Server so that users from both ADs can get access to Tableau Server ?
No - only one. AD Integration is an install-time configuration step that applies to the entire server, and you can only specify one AD instance to connect to.
You would have to handle that through ADFS or a 2-way trust between domains or some other mechanism outside of Tableau.

I’m already starting to book interviews for the Marine Corps League Toys for Tots campaign. The collection barrels will be placed around town before Thanksgiving, and our local chapter of the Marine Corps League, headed by Dave Voors will no doubt again spend hours volunteering to collect the toys and build the bicycles before Christmas eve. Our community is so generous and I hope they will have enough toys donated this year to give every child on their list a joyous Christmas.
The “Christmas Yam” is a funny commercial that ran for Toys for Tots many years past. I think it is still a classic.

Β equals the probability of a Type 2 Error. A Type 2 Error can be described as a False Negative. A false Negative represents a test not detecting a difference when a difference does exist.
1 – β = Power = the probability of a test detecting a difference when one exists.
Power is therefore a measure of the sensitivity of a statistical test. It is common to target a Power of 0.8 for statistical tests. A Power of 0.8 indicates that a test has an 80 percent probability of detecting a difference.
The four variables that are required in order to determine the Power for a one-sample t-Test are Alpha (α), Effect Size (d), Sample Sizes (n1 and n2), and the Number of Tails. Typically alpha, Effect Size, and the Number of Tails are held constant while sample sizes are varied (usually increased) to achieve the desired Power for the statistical test.
As mentioned, the four variables that are required in order to determine Power for a one-sample t-Test are Alpha (α), Effect Size (d), Sample Size (n), and the Number of Tails.
The Power achieved for this test is 0.5416. This means that the current one-tailed test has a 54.16 percent chance of detecting a difference that has an effect size of 0.623 if α = 0.05, n1 = 16, and n2 = 17.
This would indicate that a Power of 80 percent would be achieved for this test if the total sample size were equal to approximately n1 + n2 = 65.

Behnaz Sarafpour's Fall show—her first on a runway—could literally be described as poetic. Having immersed herself in Byron, Herman Melville, A. E. Housman and Emily Dickinson for inspiration, the designer embroidered lines from each of these poets in gold thread on several of her pieces.
Sarafpour used fabrics that ranged from rich velvets to crisp cotton canvas to light-as-air georgette, and divided her show into daytime and evening looks. Unlike many designers who think their customers undergo a personality change when the sun goes down, Sarafpour's woman starts and ends her day with a sense of easy romance. The varied palette included black, navy, white, pink, plum, gray and lilac, and the silhouette was long but not skintight; Sarafpour's georgette evening dresses skimmed the body like slips. Strong tailoring was also in evidence, exemplified by a snappy blue alpaca trench worn over a black georgette blouse and low-slung velvet pants. Sweet bits of girlishness were added to several looks with streaming ribbons, subtle metal fringe or the odd floral patchwork pocket.
In short, this beautifully edited show (14 looks in all) was brief as a haiku and light as an Elizabethan sonnet.

JEWS HAVE A long-standing love affair with hope. That relationship encompasses at least two perspectives: hope as survival and hope as transformation. We hope because we have survived, and we have survived because we practice “hope.” Hope as an indicator of and precursor to survival has served as a thread of inspiration connecting the past to the present and future. At the time of our birth as a people, the women of Generation Exodus united in the ultimate act of resistance and continued to birth babies despite the bleakness of living in slavery. Another display of radical hope took place in the generation of the Shoah, when women and men came together to create new life in the midst of hell. It continues today, as Israelis celebrate s’machot at risk of their lives.
Hope as survival is not uniquely Jewish. But Jewish hope is present-tense, earthbound, and hands-on. Each of us is obligated to take action to realize the promise of a healed world. This imperative is reflected throughout our liturgy; each Motzei Shabbat, for example, our ode to Eliahu haNavi recollects our dream of tikkun olam. The founding of the State of Israel in the aftermath of the Shoah is a paradigm of hope as survival; it is fitting that our national anthem is HaTikvah.
Jewish hope is also about transformation. Several mitzvot represent hope; mikvah is a mitzvah that represents hope as transformation. Visiting the mikvah on a monthly basis, following the rhythm of menstrual flow, gives Jewish women a unique connection to hope. The laws of niddah require abstinence from sexual relations during one’s period and for seven days after, followed by immersion in the mikvah, a practice where we ritually enact rebirth and renewal. Like converts to Judaism, we emerge from these living waters into a radically different reality. My visits to the mikvah often provide me a healing transformation. I enter the mikvah painfully aware that I’ve lost a chance to create new life during my previous menstrual cycle. My seven immersions are a time of intense kavannah and prayer. I emerge from the water feeling whole and ready to try to conceive again.

I can’t let A-Rod’s night go without mention, of course. The venerable one hit a 450+ foot home run in the Yankees 4-3 win over the Orioles. Mark Teixeira hit a homer too. The Yankees likewise got six good innings from Ivan Nova before turning it over to the pen, which Andrew Miller allowing a homer to Chris Davis notwithstanding, has been a strength for New York all year.
Back in March, when I previewed the Yankees, I said that while there were a lot of uncertainties with this team, it wasn’t crazy to expect some improvement from many positions and that if a couple of the old guys bounce back they could be in this thing, especially given how good the pen is. Well, a couple of the old guys bounced back. They could use a starter but are getting just enough pitching. And the pen is the pen. That’s why they’re in first place folks. Everything has come up shiny for them.

As moguls and writers fight over the spoils from DVD and digital-download revenue and celebrities on both coasts pound the pavement in solidarity with the scribes, there’s an unintended casualty in the Great Hollywood War of 2007: independent filmmaking.
Since actors are in such high demand, they’re also dropping out of projects for better-paying gigs and jacking up their fees. “There’s an actor I know who is getting a threefold raise just because he’s the only comedy guy left,” says entertainment attorney and producer John Sloss, who notes that all of his directing clients—from Richard Linklater to Kevin Smith—are working feverishly now in case there’s an actors’ strike.
Strike jitters have also forced cash-strapped indie producers to fork over more money for scripts and stars in a shorter time span than usual. “It puts you into a position of optioning something even if there’s just a 5 percent chance of making the film,” says one.
As dire as an extended strike may be, some indie players are searching for silver linings. Entertainment attorney Andrew Hurwitz, for example, says several of the major pre-strike studio projects could collapse because their scripts, written by WGA members, are not as polished as they need to be. “It’s unusual for a script to be totally locked,” he says. Without the chance for rewrites, the projects may be abandoned and the actors freed up for indie films ready to go with scripts written by non-WGA members.
Producer Anthony Bregman, who recently wrapped production on Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York, agrees. “It was really difficult a month ago, but now it feels like a lot of those [studio] projects have fallen apart,” he says.


This is really a year round trend but it’s the styling that differs this summer. Shapes are loose and comfortable teamed back with patterned mid length pencil skirts *. The white shirt is treated like a tshirt this summer; no longer seen as smart workplace attire; the movement, like tailoring, is towards casual and relaxed.
*Styling Tip – Choose either top or bottom for volume and balance the other half with something fitted for a more flattering silhouette.
While it’s still very fashionable to clash your prints*; wearing the print both top and bottom is the fresh new way to style prints this summer. I love the way Ginger and Smart have mirrored the print but used a different texture to differentiate the top and skirt.
What a perfect trend for warm weather. The lightness of the fabric screams summer but it’s also looks elegant without completely covering up. The area of sheer can vary in position depending on your body type. If you don’t want to give a glimpse of your midriff opt for a mid-calf length and have the sheerness from the knee.
Thankfully we are steering away from head to toe highlighter shades and the trend this summer is for soft pastels. They are much kinder to most complexions and more complimentary to the prints still dominating this summer. While we have seen pastels in knitwear during winter; tailoring has also been painted in pale shades of pink, peach and soft sage green next season.
*Styling Tip- To make this trend more flattering, make sure the line on the shoulder is square to your arm. If that line starts to creep down your arm the jacket will appear ill-fitting and become unflattering.


Melibiose is disaccharide consisting of one galactose and one glucose moiety in an alpha (1-6) glycosidic linkage. This sugar is produced and metabolized only by enteric and lactic acid bacteria and other microbes, such as Dickeya dadantii, Escherichia, Leuconostoc and Saccharomyces (PMID: 19734309 ; PMID: 28453942 ) (ChEBI). It is not an endogenous metabolite but may be obtained from the consumption of partially fermented molasses, brown sugar or honey. Antibodies to melibiose will appear in individuals affected by Chagas' disease (Trypanosoma cruzi infection). Melibiose is not metabolized by humans, but can be broken down by gut microflora, such as E. coli. In fact, E. coli is able to utilize melibiose as a sole source of carbon. Melibiose is first imported by the melibiose permease, MelB and then converted to β-D-glucose and β-D-galactose by the α-galactosidase encoded by melA. Because of its poor digestability Melibiose (along with rhamnose) can be used together for noninvasive intestinal mucosa barrier testing. This test can be used to assess malabsorption or impairment of intestinal permeability. Recent studies with dietary melibiose have shown that can strongly affected the Th cell responses to an ingested antigen. It has been suggested that melibiose could be used to enhance the induction of oral tolerance. (PMID 17986780 ).
May serve as an alternate pathway for starch digestion when luminal alpha-amylase activity is reduced because of immaturity or malnutrition. May play a unique role in the digestion of malted dietary oligosaccharides used in food manufacturing.


The State Directorate of Civil Protection announced todaythat it suspended the search of the American Kat Hammontre, 68 years old and resident of the town of San Felipe, Mexicali, who missing since April 11 in the area of El Cañón del Diablo in the lower part of the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, where she practiced hiking in the company of friends.
April 15, 2019. – Antonio Rosquillas Navarro, state director of Civil Protection, gave notice of the suspension of the search to the Attorney General of the State (PGJE), so that it initiates a ministerial investigation and tries by its means of locate the sexageria in an area where temperatures of up to 32 degrees are already registered.
The official reported that Hammontre went out with her friends to the canyon on Thursday, April 11 at dawn. They were going to observe the waterfall that forms inside the ravine. She got tired and asked her friends to continue the walk while she rested in a stream in the company of a dog. No more was heard of her.
When on the afternoon of Thursday, April 11, the group of walkers arrived back to the vehicle support units, the husband of the American woman notified that Kat had not returned.
He immediately began a search operation involving dozens of civilian rescuers and the State Civil Protection Directorate, elements of the Bomberos de Mexicali corps, the En-Sar Ensenada Search and Rescue organization, a helicopter of the Mexican armed forces. and Red Cross staff with the support of rescue dogs.
The group did not find the woman, but did locate two marijuana cultivation fields in the area that were reported to the Army and the Attorney General’s Office for investigation.
Regarding the woman’s background, Antonio Rosquillas revealed that, due to reports from her husband and friends, she has poor physical condition since she is in a period of recovery from cancer, and recently suffered a fracture in three fingers of one of her feet. .
“We suspended the search. We combed everything around the place where he was seen alive the last time. We speak of a perimeter of 5 kilometers around and we do not locate it, “said the state official.
In June of last year, the civil organization Emergency Prevention Agrestes requested the governor Francisco Vega de Lamadrid the creation of a State Search and Rescue Group specialized in areas of difficult access.
It should have sufficient economic resources , an official ambulance service that promptly attends to emergencies in roads and villages, and a special helicopter for rescue operations in rural areas and emergency aeromedical transfer .
His request, which was not answered, was based on media statistics that did not include accidents in towns, in motor vehicles, drowned in beaches, maritime or aerial accidents.
The regions where there were cases with hikers, workers and settlers affected in accidents are: Laguna Salada (period 1996-2016), 21 dead and 89 rescued. Sierra de San Pedro Mártir (span 1987-2017), 4 dead and 36 rescued.
Also the Sierra de Juárez (period 2000-2017), 5 dead and 139 rescued. And south of Ensenada to (phase 1996-2017), 1 dead and 3 rescued.


This seminar will discuss the evolution and development of a major data integration project, the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD). The LEHD project uniquely links households and workers to employers and firms and uses the linked data to produce national statistics on job-to-job flows and other indicators. An overview of LEHD methodology will be discussed and research applications demonstrated.

Josephine Eliza: Eating out is possible!!
Yesterday I went to this gorgeous granary mill to have my lunch before venturing to shop!
Anyway i wanted to tell you about it because it was gorgeous and i could eat Everything on the plate well bar the bread, it was smoked salmon, mackerel as salad leaves, tomatoes an amazing tomato relish, cabbage salad and a pot of cucumber and onion pickle.
I had given up on the whole eating out buisness unless its al fresco and i can take my own food, But this was lovely.
take a look for yourselves...I may make it myself.
The relish i am going to try and recreate to have on my pasta! it was gorgeous!
The relish was THAT good, I asked for more, flaked my mackerel and mixed the whole pot into it.


How to put yourself in control of your future.
The secret to conquering it is to do something.
If you don’t have a retirement savings plan, start one today.
If you are already saving, make sure you are gradually increasing your contributions every year.
If you don’t have a budget start one,and track your progress for a year to see how you do.
You are probably going to live a lot longer than you think, so it’s a good idea to start saving when you are young, you’ll have compound interest on your side.
This illustration is a hypothetical compounding example that assumes biweekly salary deferrals (for 30 years) at a 6% annual effective rate of return.

Wim Delvoye is a Belgian post-conceptualist artist. You don’t need to know what post-conceptualism is to follow along. Just know that he is most famous for making a machine that produces literal feces. Now he’s gained a name for himself with his herd of tatted up pigs (or, as I like to call them, a sounder of swine).
For the past 20 years, Delvoye has tattooed pigs as a central part of his practice. He started with pretty basic flash art, hearts and skulls etc., and then moved on to trendy and popular logo design. He’s got pigs with the Louis Vuitton logo needled all over. Some of his most popular pigs have the cartoon portraits of Disney Princesses inked on their back. He sold a couple of those to Chanel, who proceeded to make purses out of them.
He raises his pieces from piglets, and lets them die of natural causes. He’s gotten a lot of heat from animal rights activists, but they say all press is good press, and anyway, he’s been a vegetarian for a long time.
Like pretty much all artists, he has two aims, one noble and one base: To make money, and to bring art alive.
And he’s not going broke while he does it. He sells the pigs and skins for upwards of $70,000, and he says that by raising his work from piglets, they gain value (and size) as they age.

Here is a very Simple Electronic Circuit of 12-Bit Dac with Variable Step Size Circuit. The step size of the converter is variable by selection of the high order data bits. The first DAC, A, has a stable reference current supplied via the 10.24 V reference IC and Rl. R2 provides bias cancellation.
As shown, only the first 4 MSB inputs are used, giving a step size of 225/256 2.048/16 = 0.127 mA. This current supplies the reference for DAC whose step size is then 0.1275/256 = 0.498 Âµ. Complementary voltage outputs are available for unipolar output and using R3 - R4 = 10, Vout is Â± 10.2 V approximately, with a step size (1 LSB) of approximately 5 mV. If desired an op amp can be added to the output to provide a low impedance output with bipolar output symmetrical about ground, if R5 = R6 within 0.05%.
Note that offset null is required, and all resistors except R2 and R3 should be 1% high stability types. By using lower order address lines than illustrated for DAC A, a smaller step size (and therefore full-scale output) can be obtained. Unused high order bits can be manipulated high or low to change the relative position of the full-scale output.


Vladimir Putin is coming to town. His hosts are expecting $20 billion in new contracts, but what does he want in return?
The capital of Uzbekistan has gone Russian for the week – even the weather has turned cold and snowy.
Tashkent is decked out in red-blue-and-white flags. Roads in the center are lined with billboards carrying the words: “Welcome Russian friends!” Even buses have been emblazoned with the flags of Russia and Uzbekistan – an unprecedented sight.
This outpouring of Russophilia is in anticipation of President Vladimir Putin’s two-day visit, which begins on October 18. The expected headline takeaway from his stay will be the signing of $20 billion worth of commercial contracts.
The late Uzbek leader, Islam Karimov, who died in September 2016, was never an enthusiastic comrade for Moscow, so the bonhomie is being interpreted by some observers as a historic turn by Tashkent. A more sanguine reading is that President Shavkat Mirziyoyev is cultivating equally warm ties with all and sundry in his ongoing mission to pull his nation out of its long-standing isolation.
This fits an established pattern.
Last April, an agreement was signed between Russia and Uzbekistan on expanding military-technical cooperation, which envisions the mutual supply of military wares, the maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment, and assistance in research and development.
Uzbekistan has also recently resumed sending military personnel to be trained at army colleges in Russia – an arrangement that was ended in 2012. This year, 340 Uzbek officers enrolled at the colleges.
And Russia has been supplying weapons to Uzbekistan at reduced prices since 2016. Uzbekistan is the only non-member of the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO, to enjoy that privilege.
This has some suspecting that Uzbekistan may break from form and begin to show interest in Moscow-led bodies.
“I would not rule out the possibility of efforts being made to draw Uzbekistan into the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union. It seems that Mirziyoyev is shifting from the position occupied by Karimov, who distanced his country from these organizations,” political analyst Alisher Ilkhamov told Eurasianet.
Perhaps the most significant development to occur this week will be the start of a project to build an $11 billion atomic power plant. Putin and Mirziyoyev will travel to the construction site near Tudakul lake, just east of Bukhara, on October 19.
The deal underpinning the project, which is being jointly executed with Russian state-run nuclear power company Rosatom, was signed in Moscow in September. The 2.4-gigawatt power station is slated to come online in 2028.
That is a colossal amount of electricity, but not everybody is happy.
“Does Uzbekistan even need an atomic power plant? I can still remember the Chernobyl accident. Maybe it is better to invest in alternative power, [the resources for] which we have enough of. Karimov would not have allowed this,” 63-year-old retiree Nuriddin Khamrayev told Eurasianet.
Shukhrat Ganiyev, a political analyst from Bukhara, likewise said that his fellow Bukharans are concerned and unhappy about the prospect of living so close to an nuclear power plant. An unscientific poll conducted by Ganiyev among local residents revealed widespread anxiety.
“Our city gets freshwater from Tudakul, so what is the sense of building an atomic plant so close to this ancient city? This issue needs to be discussed in society, in the media and on social media. Why are Uzbekistan’s environmental activists silent?” Ganiyev said.
Another large Russian project will entail resuming the construction of an astronomical observatory on the Suffa plateau, a high-altitude spot around four hours’ drive south of Tashkent. It is believed the observatory, begun in late-Soviet times and then discontinued, will house the world’s largest radio telescope. The signing of a roadmap on this undertaking is on the agenda during Putin’s visit.
Even though Karimov adopted a cool stance toward Russia, it was not the same for many of his countrymen, millions of whom were forced by necessity to travel there for work. With bureaucracy complicated for those migrant laborers, large numbers risked legal trouble by working without the proper authorization. Under Karimov, authorities turned a blind eye to all this.
Mirziyoyev has taken a radically different tack and focused much of his diplomacy with Russia on easing work-registration requirements for Uzbeks. His government is coordinating more closely with Russian migration authorities and has opened several new consulates to better assist expatriates.
The payoff has been impressive. In 2017, labor migrants from Uzbekistan transferred $3.9 billion from Russia to their homeland. That was 42 percent more than the year before.
Mirziyoyev wants to see other areas of the economy benefit from this cordiality too. The goal is for trade turnover to hit $5 billion this year. Already in the first seven months of 2018, trade turnover increased by 32 percent compared with the same period in 2017. Russia's share of foreign trade with Uzbekistan stands at 18 percent.
That is a lot, but Russia is nonetheless second to China, and that’s an important distinction.
Indeed, analyst Rafael Sattarov believes it is unlikely Uzbekistan will join the Eurasian Economic Union, not least as the government has made no changes to its foreign policy concept since August 2012.
“[The document] clearly states that the country will not join military blocs and integration associations that hinder sovereignty, or integration projects in the post-Soviet space that hinder relations with third countries,” Sattarov explained.
So even if Russia is courting Uzbekistan eagerly, the likelihood for the time being is that Tashkent will avoid forging any exclusive relationships. Mirziyoyev earlier this month traveled to Paris, his first official trip to a member of the European Union, and he was in India a few days before that. In May, he met with Donald Trump at the White House. His first state visit outside the former Soviet space was to China, in May 2017.
Nigara Khidoyatova, an independent politician who has lived for several years in the United States, said that despite the positive dynamic in Russian-Uzbek ties, the broader trend is toward maintaining relations among all the country’s major partners on an equal footing.
“For now, Shavkat Mirziyoyev is […] trying to keep a balance between the three strong players – China, the United States and Russia. That much was demonstrated by the president’s visits to the West,” Khidoyatova said.


Tatsuya Kanamori, who led the techno scene in Japan under the moniker DJ Shufflemaster, is back with a new project and a new album to be released from his new label „Shiki Kyokai“. Tatsuya a.k.a. the pioneering DJ SHUFFLEMASTER has released a number of cutting edge minimal techno works from his own Housedust and Subvoice labels, along with time-honored Tresor in Berlin, Ben Sims’s Theory, Phont Music in Switzerland, Chester Beatty’s Disq, as well as providing remix works for Adam Beyer’s Code Red, Thomas Schumacher, DJ Rush, DJ Deeon etc.
Because of heavy sound pressure and bouncing rhythm, CHESTER BEATTY is commonly known by EQ Melter. His father was a records cutting engineer while he was a piano player for Argentine Tango. Beatty’s father encouraged Beatty to play, and as a child, he became familiar with jazz, classic, latin music. At the age of 13, Beatty began learning to play guitar, bass, and piano. Not only straight rock, but also he got really hard into swing rhythm. Eventually, he had loved Chicago Ghetto House. His first tape was made by cheap instruments, Roland TR-808 and TB-303, and it was admitted by Robert Armani and Felix Da Housecat. Afterwards, he debuted with the tape. Beatty quickly gained critical acclaim with the release of his EP by labels, such as Cloned Vinyl (UK), Phont Music (Switzerland), Housedust (Japan). At the same time, in his label ”Disq”, he was marginally influenced by funk and disco, and his tracks were played many famous DJs, most notably Sven Vath in clubs worldwide. He released first full-length, “Shot of Love” from Tresor (Germany). Afterwards, he released regressive piece, unlike the previous piece, which took salsa taste in. He went on to found Da Royal Funksta with DJ FUNK, a father of Dance Mania Records in Chicago and known by remix works of Basement Jaxx and Justice. And 2015, He formed new team DISQ CLASH with DJ SHUFFLEMASTER and DJ FUNK. 1st Ep released on Turbo Recordings. Sound towards to Legend of Chicago ghetto House.

The NOVTUL research project (New ultrasonic techniques for non-invasive estimation of physical parameters. Innovative applications in tissues, plants, micro / nano-structured materials and strategic elements), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity (Ref. number: DPI2011-22438) for the three years period: 2012-2014.
This project proposes to research and apply new ultrasonic techniques to solve problems where ultrasounds are not seen nowadays as an alternative due to the complexity of applying them to these problems and/or the limitations of conventional ultrasonic techniques. It also provides the necessary implementation of these techniques to be adapted to the requirements of the specific issues to be considered. Examples are media and materials with an inherent difficulty for inspection: high attenuation, noise and / or dispersion, presence of bandgaps and/or many of the cases where air-coupling must be used. Materials and applications within these categories are certain high-strength steels, composite (civil engineering) and/or porous materials, plant tissues, biological organs, smart suspensions and elastomers reinforced by nanoparticles, thin microporous membranes, etc. Other examples, are applications that are intended to measure internal physical quantities such as temperature or humidity, of complex bodies.

An easy macaroni dish with a decadent creamy vegetable sauce made from roasted sweet potatoes, butternut squash, coconut milk, and a few spices and herbs.
This dish will certainly be including in our Thanksgiving spread. In the spirit of Thanksgiving I want to first give thanks to all the farmers who grow their food with fertile soil, clean water and no chemicals. I seriously cannot thank them enough for bringing us the greatest quality produce all year long! Thank you times a billion!
The sweet potato brings a warm sweet flavor with an ultra creamy texture, if you use more sweet potato than butternut squash it could almost be a dessert mac.
The butternut squash lightens up the entire sauce in flavor and in texture. The garlic, parsley, basil, black pepper and salt cut the sweet giving you a fresh spicy, savory flavor.
Lastly the non-dairy milk makes it into a dreamy creamy sauce. The first time I used hemp milk and it came out very nutty and was more of a dessert flavor, I liked it but I prefer coconut milk. You could also use vegetable broth for an even lighter sauce.
My favorite kind of weekday dinner and thanksgiving side is one where I don’t have to monitor the entire process. Where I can just roughly cut vegetables, throw them in the oven and set a timer. The noodles may take a little tending to but it’s simple enough. With many of our schedules, simplicity is a necessity and that’s what I’m aiming for with this recipe.
The vegetables roughly chopped take about 30-40 minutes to dry roast completely. Specifically I used a small convection oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. However my big oven took about 40 minutes at the same temp. Of course the size you cut your vegetables is also a factor. I try to cut them a little less than an inch thick.
The noodles only take about 20 minutes to make, so no hurry. Start the oven and vegetables first. The vegetables also have to sit and cool for a few minutes before blending as well, so give the whole sauce making about 45 minutes.
Think of this recipe as a starter to an unlimited world of sauces. You could roast many different kinds of vegetables and make a sauce just the same. For instance replace butternut squash with carrots, acorn squash, black radish, watermelon radish, turnips, pumpkin, kohlrabi, just naming a few… With the radishes and turnips you’ll get a much spicier sauce; pumpkin and carrots would lend their unique flavors to the sauce, maybe finished with a little pumpkin spice. Yum!
Hope you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving day with lots to give thanks to!

The KBA Treblemakers began as the dream of the Kansas Bluegrass Association board of directors. Their vision was to support youth in Bluegrass by offering them something more than just lessons for individual kids. After all, the FUN part of playing Bluegrass music is meeting others and jamming. So in 2010, board members began scouting for young folks at various jams sessions. Through their efforts, the original Treblemakers band came to be.
The band began performing in early 2011 under the direction of Mark Johnson and have been featured at such notable events as Wichita's Riverfest, The Walnut Valley Festival’s Acoustic Kids stage and the legendary “Stage 5”. Next came Colby KS Pickin’ on the Plains, Bartlett Arboretum’s Treehouse Concert Series, Rhonda & Darrin Vincent’s family festival at Sally Mountain Park and at Silver Dollar City's Bluegrass & Bar-B-Que 3 years running.
After much hard work, the Treblemakers were proud to have achieved their goal of taking a Second Place Win in 2015 and a Fourth Place Win in 2016, at The National Youth In Bluegrass Contest at Silver Dollar City, in Branson Missouri. The group was also honored to be chosen as featured performers on the IBMA's Youth Stage, at the Wide Open Bluegrass Festival in Raleigh, NC. in the fall of 2015. Their latest source of pride, was in being hired as "paid performers", at The Walnut Valley Festival in the fall of 2016.
There have been several "generations" of the band and we're proud to say that all graduates of the Treblemakers are still making music. The current line-up consists of three sets of siblings, which makes the coordination of rehearsals and family schedules a LITTLE easier.
Dawson Tarrant (18) from Conway Springs, is the only founding member still in the band. Dawson joined the Treblemakers in 2010 at age (10).
In addition to guitar, Dawson plays saxophone and piano, as well as writing songs for the band. Dawson is currently attending Pittsburg State University .
Dawson will be leaving the band after a few more performances, to concentrate on his education.
Sisters Caitlin (21) and Alyssa (20) Carlson are from Falun, Ks. They joined the group in late 2012. Cait plays fiddle and is a student at Kansas State University. Alyssa plays bass with the Treblemakers and also plays obeo & cello in her schools band and orchestra. She also plays piano and numerous other instruments. She attends WSU University. Both girls will have one more performance at the Kba Wintrefest before leaving the group.
Brothers Wayne (18) and Mason (15) Ruble, are from Minneapolis, Ks. and both boys play multiple instruments. Mason joined us in early 2013 on banjo and Wayne joined us shortly thereafter. Wayne is primarily a guitar player but when he saw our need for someone to play the mandolin, he decided that he'd give it a try. Boy are we glad he did! Both boys are avid outdoorsmen and athletes and will continue with the group into this coming year.
An added note for Mason Ruble, is that he was featured this year on ABC's "Little Big Shots" with the band "The Salty Dogs". We are so proud of Mason's accomplishments and happy to have been a part of his bluegrass journey.
Jacob Metz (18) is from Oxford, Ks. and he's another multi-instrumentalist. He had just picked up the banjo when we met him at Winfield's Acoustic Kids in September 2013. In October of that year, he started playing the Dobro. He joined our group and played his first performance with us in early 2014. Jacob also plays guitar, mandolin, bass, saxophone, piano and has written a number of the songs that the group will be performing. Jacobe will also continue with the band until he heads off to collage next fall.
Ella Bird (14) is from Wichita, Ks. and has been playing violin for 4 years. She is a member of the Wichita Youth Symphony but is excited to be expanding her musical horizons into fiddling. We first met Ella in 2013 at a Winfield Acoustic Kids performance and she joined us in the fall of 2015.
Ella looks forward to continuing her journey with the Kba Treblemakers and so do we.
Our newest member of the Band is Jacob's brother Logan Metz (11). He joined the Treblemakes on the Bass, in the Fall of 2017. He has brought a lot of energy to the group and we look forward to watching him grow in his skills.
We all look forward to watching this newest generation of The Kba Treblemakers perform and continue to promote Youth In Bluegrass.

This standing desk buying guide aims to streamline your process of choosing and purchasing your stand-up desk.
The first accessory you should get for your new sit-stand desk is a Standing Desk Mat.
When I first started researching standing desks in 2007, I found a handful of industrial-looking warehouse invoicing stands, a few very nice-looking fixed-height wooden desks with designs that hearkened back to the Colonial era, a handful of home-made models, and a few makeshift, do-it-yourself solutions. There were just a few manufacturers making the electrically height adjustable desks that are so common today, and they typically cost well over $1,000.
Now you can’t glance at your daily news feed without seeing a new standing-desk announcement. In just the past few years, every category of standing desk has grown dramatically in breadth and depth. Whether you’re looking for a free-standing electrically height-adjustable model or a simple cardboard riser, for a “smart desk” that will remind you when to stand or an elaborate sit-stand-recline model that can position you like an astronaut, your choices can seem infinite.
It’s still easy to find budget-busting, multi-thousand-dollar standing desks, but now there are also several contemporary, attractive, free-standing, electrically height-adjustable models that will cost you as little as $500. Desktop add-ons and other budget models can be as little as $200.
With the explosive growth in the standing-desk industry, it can be a daunting task out to figure out which kind of standing desk is right for you. That’s what this guide is for – to help you choose which kind of standing desk will work best for you and to then help you sort through the available options in the category your choose.
You have several options for standing at work. I’ll be adding detailed lists of what to look for in each of these types of desks in the coming weeks.
Adjustable-Height Free-Standing Desks are arguably the best solution. Functionally, they are really hard to beat. They quickly and easily change the height of your work surface, keeping all of your gear – keyboard, monitor, reference materials, and knick-knacks – in the same place. These desks are available in a variety of styles, colors, and desktop configurations (rectangular, curved, L-shaped, etc.) and are available from a wide variety of vendors and manufacturers. Most of them height-adjust with electric motors, but a few models use gas lifts or counterbalance mechanisms.
Adjustable-Height Desktop Add-ons are a good solution if you’re on a budget or are for any reason stuck with your conventional sit-down desk. These models either rest directly on your existing desktop or hover above it on a swing-arm or similar mechanism. Some of these desktop standing extensions are quite stylish, but even the good-looking ones can take over your desktop. Some models in this category compromise on ergonomics, failing to permit optimizing both keyboard and monitor placement, for example. Still, a good height-adjustable desktop workstation can get you standing comfortably at work without denting your budget too badly. Two of the best-known lines in this category are the Varidesk and the Kangaroo.
Fixed-Height Desktop Risers are basically elevated platforms that you set down on your existing desk to elevate your monitor, laptop and/or keyboard. This can be a super-affordable option to get you standing right away. Several of these fixed-height add-ons fold up for portability, so they can work well if you have a mobile workstyle. Some of these risers are labeled “height adjustable,” but they require you to remove everything from your desktop to adjust their leg locks or wingnuts or to slide surfaces into different mounting slots, so they function as essentially fixed-height desks.
Fixed-Height Standing Desks, even though they are sometimes derided as ergonomically “incorrect,” have a place in the stand-up desk world. They can be more affordable than an electrically height-adjustable desk. Paired with a conventional sit-down desk, they can offer a low-tech sit-stand solution. Many fixed-height desks are custom-made by high-end woodworking shops, so they can be among the most attractive standing office options. On the other end of the aesthetic spectrum are a number of models designed for warehouses and other non-office settings. Many of the desks I’ll list in this category are labeled as “height adjustable.” But they require tightening and loosening wing nuts, sliding slats into grooves, or otherwise making you clear your desktop to adjust the desk’s height. So while they are technically height-adjustable, in practice they function more like a fixed-height desk.
Sit-Stand-Recline Desks like the Zero Gravity Workstation or the Altwork let you not only sit and stand but also recline like an astronaut. Their price tag and footprint make them a bit of a niche product. But if you have an orthopedic condition like severe back pain or chronic neck pain, they could be a good solution to keep you working as you recover. I would have gladly paid the $5,000 for one of these reclining workstations back when my low back was acting up.
The links above will take you to a page with detailed information on what you should look for in each standing-desk option.
This standing-desk guide focuses on desks available for sale through retail channels, mostly online. So I’m assuming that the primary audience will likely be individual consumers, people with home offices, and managers in small businesses.
Architects, interior designers, and facilities managers typically rely on contract furniture firms and consultants for information about standing desks, but I’m hoping they may find this guide useful, too.
This guidebook sets out buying criteria, advises you on which features to look for, shows you which accessories and options are worth getting, and otherwise informs you on how to choose a standing desk. It’s a work in progress and I’m always open to your ideas about how to improve it.
You won’t find many opinions here, at least not about any one standing desk. I genuinely don’t care which particular stand-up desk you buy. I just want you to be as knowledgeable and as informed as possible as you make your buying decision. When I lived in New York City years ago, my favorite clothing store was Sym’s, which used the tag line: “An educated consumer is our best customer.” That’s the spirit here, too.
I am an ardent proponent of standing and other non-sedentary behaviors in the office. So I enthusiastically recommend any category of products that help you in that regard, especially standing desks. So I’ll list the factors that you’ll want to consider as you make your buying decision. I’ll put together lists of standing desks that meet objective criteria like price, height range, style, etc. And I’ll tell you why I think one type of standing desk will work better than another in a particular situation.
But you won’t find recommendations for specific desks here. I would love at some return to doing proper Consumer Reports-style reviews (as I used to do at Well9to5) of office-wellness products like standing desks, but that’s not currently in the cards. Only a organization (The Wirecutter, e.g.) are even attempting to do that now, but even they have only looked at a dozen or two of the hundreds of standing desks that are currently available.
Obviously, the quality of the individual products and the reliability of the companies making them will be all over the map, especially in an arena as new and as rapidly evolving as the standing-desk market. Right now, the main sources for these kinds of reviews are Amazon, YouTube, and standing-desk manufacturer websites.
If you have found your way to this page, you probably already have in mind several good reasons for standing at your desk. But even if you’re 100% clear on why you want to stand at your desk, it can be helpful to quickly review the benefits of standing more at work.
You’ll want to make sure that standing at work is right for you before you shell out the money for a new desk. Check out this page that sets out several ways to prototype the standing-desk work style.
Who Is This Guy, and What Does He Know about Standing Desks?
Obviously, if you look at the scope of this site, my interests and expertise are much broader than that, but I’m OK with being pigeonholed that way.
My main intention here is to help you get moving at work. There are many ways to do that – and I truly don’t care which way you choose to undo your sedentary ways – but a standing desk is arguably the best way.
I hope this guide helps you find the standing desk that’s right for you.


The Penticton Museum was established in 1954, when the city gave local collector R.N. Atkinson the use of the decommissioned sternwheeler S.S. Sicamous to house his private collection.
A long-time Penticton resident and veteran of the First World War, Reg Atkinson collected militaria, native artefacts, firearms, and antiques since the early 1920s and had previously operated a private museum in his home. The R.N. Atkinson Temporary Gallery is named in honour of the Penticton Museum's first curator, who passed away in 1973.
In 1965 the museum moved to its current location at the Penticton Community Art complex, which it continues to share with the Penticton Public Library.
The Penticton Museum strives to deliver professional and innovative exhibits, programs, archival services, and resources in order to coordinate heritage programming, both at the museum and within the City's environs, with the goal of ensuring cultural and natural heritage management is a vital component in the development of Penticton's physical identity and community character.
The Penticton Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00am - 5:00pm.
The Archives are open Wednesday to Friday,10:00am - 5:00pm.
The museum and archives are closed for all statutory holidays.
($2 for adults, $1 for children).


Today, after eating our breakfast and rolling up our futons, we all got on the back of a little pickup truck and headed to our destination to interact with the locals.
We arrived early so most of the people weren’t there so we chatted with those who were already there. When everyone got together we split up in groups and did some games to break the ice. After getting to know each other we went into the fields to harvest vegetables. The sun was scorching that day but it was a lot picking up the vegetables (and the tomatoes were especially delicious!).
After harvesting a bunch of vegetables we got back to the facility and started cooking the curry and Naan bread (a type of Indian bread). One thing for sure was that a lot of people cried, since we had a lot of onions to slice. After cooking everything we sat down and ate together, it was so delicious! Curry really goes well with Naan bread!
After lunch we played a scavenger hunt with our group. We had to take a picture of a very specific plant that only grew in that area, a funny picture with one of the locals, and capture three types of insects. Needless to say, I wasn’t very keen on catching bugs but it was actually a fun experience! After that we got to play a game where you have to smash a watermelon in half whilst blindfolded, it was a lot of fun and the watermelon was really refreshing after all the fun we had! After that we said goodbye and went to refresh ourselves in the river and then we went to the onsen to get nice and clean.
That night the innkeeper had made us a feast and we had a very good time together chatting and listening to music. Today was a very nice day, I wish we had more time to enjoy the mountains, but we have left to the city now for a new adventure so I’m excited and looking forward to meet the host families!
In Abiko city (suburb of Tokyo), our participants will enjoy Japanese summer festival or special activities of art & BBQ in nature!

Courtesy of: El Costell From left, Energy Advisory Committee member Bill Pearce, City Manager Tom Lutrell, committee member Nathan Davis and former committee chair Larry Pritchett accept the 2018 Hastings Award from Efficiency Maine Executive Director Michael Stoddard.
Rockland — Rockland's Energy Advisory Committee issued a press release Sept. 5 announcing that the city was named the winner of the Efficiency Maine Trust’s 2018 Philip C. Hastings Award Aug. 24.
The Hastings Award is presented each year to an individual or organization that typifies the spirit of the late Phil Hastings, the founding director of Efficiency Maine. To honor his memory, the Philip C. Hastings Award recognizes an individual or organization for significant contributions to energy efficiency and to the state’s environmental stewardship through exemplary support of the Efficiency Maine program. According to the release, the award recognizes Rockland’s leadership in energy efficiency initiatives including Weatherize Rockland, PACE home energy loan financing, and downtown streetlight replacement.
The Energy Advisory Committee also announced its first Community Energy Forum, set for Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers of Rockland City Hall. The event will kick off the process of developing a community energy policy for Rockland that will include plans and policies for energy efficiency, sustainability, economy and resilience across both public and private sectors. Expert panelists will discuss community energy policies, including policies that other communities have successfully implemented, and then there will be a public question and comment session. Snacks will be provided.


Prime minister Charles Michel met with a delegation of the gilets jaunes, or yellow vests, on Tuesday morning in his office in Brussels. It is not known if the meeting will alter the group’s plans to hold another protest this Saturday in the EU quarter.
Following the vandalism and violent clashes with police last week, which led to the arrest of some 80 protesters, the group responded to an invitation to meet with Michel. The meeting took place this morning, though it is not yet known if there were demands or what was said.
The yellow vests, so named because of the fluorescent safety vests they wear, have been protesting against high petrol prices and the cost of living in general for more than two weeks. The protest, which crossed the border from France, was taking place daily in Wallonia before moving into Brussels last Friday.
No such meeting with leaders in France has taken place, as the group there refused an invitation from prime minister Éduoard Philippe. Members of the protest group in France however – which, like in Belgium, has no named leaders – plan to come to Brussels this Saturday to take part in another action in the EU district.
A few event posts on Facebook contain conflicting information, however, about the time and place. While one reads 11.00 at Schuman, another reads 10.00 at Cinquantenaire. Whatever the specifics, it is likely that both French and Belgian yellow vests will take to the EU quarter on Saturday morning.
According to reports, farmers and lorry drivers will also join the protest action, which is expected to march down Rue de la Loi. No official request for a permit to march has been submitted, however, according to the Brussels-City-Ixelles police zone.
Not another giant car park shituation!

The first thing you should do when someone owes you money is to speak to them to find out why they haven’t paid. After all they may have simply overlooked it. If they’re struggling to pay you back, you may be able to negotiate some kind of payment arrangement which keeps the relationship amicable.
You can send a debtor a letter of demand to allege that they owe a debt and advise that if it’s not paid within a certain period of time (usually 14 days), you’ll begin legal action. If you receive a letter of demand you should pay your debt as soon as you can, to avoid also being charged interest and legal costs.


You see, when I started blogging I never knew it would change my life the way it did. I was a girl with a laptop, an affinity for creativity and self-expression, and a bit of free time. Before I knew it I was meeting with other bloggers, appearing on television and in magazines and newspapers. Contrary to what some of you may think, I was open to these experiences because I wanted experience NOT exposure nor praise. Furthermore, I believed I was doing a good thing by dispelling misconceptions about Muslims and sharing my deliberations on Islam and modest fashion.
What I wasn't aware of at that time was the range of people I would be exposed to. Don't get me wrong, I've met some of the most inspiring human beings because of my blog and I'm forever grateful for that. At the same time, I was also exposed to a lot of superficial and hypocritical individuals. I refer to them as "small people" because I define "smallness" as being insecure, selfish, bitter, envious, angry or just plain toxic. "Small people" are usually not who they say they are; they are not the good people they claim to be. In other words, "small people" are driven by their ego and fears as opposed to love and compassion. Having "small people" in my life was my struggle for a long, long time and as a result, I became quite put off by Islam but I held on because I knew it was God's way of testing my sincerity towards Him. I questioned myself, Was I trying to become a devoted Muslim for the sake of myself and my worldly desires or was I doing it for His sake?
Maybe sometimes you have to lose faith in order to truly find God and yourself. As Imam al-Ghazzali said, "Know that the key to knowing God is to know your own self."
When you start to get attention for what you are passionate and sincere about your intentions can become affected. I've learned and observed that fame, status and popularity are forms of fitna (trial, test or temptation) and that both "good" and "bad" things can be a trial for us. Fitna is presented to us in two forms: fitna of the shahawat (desires) and fitna of the shubuhat (doubts and misunderstandings). (For a more thorough explanation of fitna, watch this). I say "good" and "bad" because only Allah knows the true nature of things. Due to our limited knowledge, we can be blinded by our biases, ignorance, and fleeting desires.
I'm not afraid to show that I'm human. For years, I battled with an inner struggle that was the result of several friendships and relationships that negatively impacted my faith and iman. The doubtful thoughts that kept ringing inside my head included, "Maybe I'm not a good person", "Maybe I should have seen it coming", "Maybe I'm not good enough, that's why people take me for granted" and "Maybe I keep getting hurt because I'm not strong enough". My friend Shaystah calls them unhelpful thoughts.
In the course of our lifetime we will develop behavioural patterns that either benefit or harm us. Negative thinking is one of behaviours I developed when I lived in Malaysia after I finished my undergraduate studies. I felt I couldn't be my usual confident, bubbly and brave self because some of my friends or the people I worked with didn't appreciate or welcome these traits. They were the opposite of the people I was used to being around in New Zealand. It was as if I couldn't be myself because I had to have my guard up all the time, in fear that someone might try to disparage me, take advantage of me or hurt me and my family. The easiest way to describe my state of mind during that time is that I was in survival mode.
And being in survival mode is absolutely exhausting. Mentally exhausting, particularly, which in turn affected my physical state. I did what I felt I had to do. I withdrew to protect myself and to focus my energy on the people who mattered most to me and also on myself. It was the only way I knew how to stay sane. I was also tired of feeling like I had to prove myself, especially my 'Muslim-ness'. But I prayed for answers and relief and found that He often answered my prayers in ways I didn't always expect.
I always say that New Zealand saved me because I when I moved back here my self-confidence and also my faith in others was restored. However, the truth is it was Allah who enabled me to remove myself from these bad situations in Malaysia; he gave me the means, hope and strength to not only 'rebuild' my trust in Him but also in myself. Various traumatic experiences led me to lose trust in myself because in my head I often repeated this question, "If I keep meeting bad people then I'm the common factor. Right?"
If you're going through something right now, please don't panic. Pull yourself out of the state of anxiety. This too shall pass and your reward for being patient and steadfast in your good deeds will be given to you without measure.
What has really helped me as of late is having certainty or yakeen in Allah's mercy and knowing who is genuine and who are the people in my life that intend good for me and others. Sometimes God's way of helping us to ascertain who these people are can be quite painful but in the end it is worth it. If there's one thing I hope you will take away from this it is that there is wisdom (hikmah) in everything He allows to happen to us but it is up to us to respond appropriately. For example, when we are faced with a tribulation do we turn to Him or do we turn to alcohol, drugs or resort to self-destructive behaviour? Trust me, it is much easier to lift up your hands and say, "God, I really need your help right now" than to resort to something like alcohol, for instance, which makes us feel worse later on! Allah is al-Mujeeb (the Responder of prayers) and He answers the prayers of those who are truly in need, even the prayers of non-Muslims.
When in doubt, turn to Him, first and foremost. I promise you, things will fall into place. "So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief." (94:5) You are not your fears and insecurities. Be cautious but be hopeful too. You are here because you were meant to have all the good He has intended for you. Good things happen to good people, it's just a matter of time, and a matter of being brave and having a positive mindset.
Aww this was so nicely written. Its so important to have a productive, positive outlook in life and some people can really take away that spirit from you! Ive learned too that if I turn to the One and stay confident in who I am its much more rewarding even if Ive so many lesser people in my life. Really enjoyed reading this post and well done you for coming so far in your spiritual journey!
