Once, my increasingly verbal 2-year old said this to me when we were driving in the car and she was securely fastened in the seat directly behind me: “Mamma, we are a pencil!”-I didn’t teach my daughter to employ metaphor or to take the qualities of a pencil to describe our alignment. Hang out with kids who are learning to talk and you’ll know what I mean. More good news: The capacity to understand and employ metaphor does not need to be formally taught we develop the ability to use and understand metaphor as we learn to speak an oral language. Can you spot them? (I won’t spoil this by including the answer here–scroll down to the end for those-no cheating!)** Quick activity to prove this point: There are at least 5 examples of metaphor in what you have read so far. (Just read Lakoff & Johnson’s book The Metaphors We Live By to see how infused our language is with metaphor.) Indeed, we so commonly use metaphor that we are hardly aware of it. Good newsĪll human beings use this cognitive tool-that means you, your children, all your students. Now for some good news, bad news, and better news. They help us to learn by engaging our emotions, enriching meaning, and revealing nuanced ideas. Metaphors matter for teaching because they spark our ability to envision the possible-they represent divergent or lateral kinds of thinking. The metaphor is a super-charged tool of the imagination it has novelty built right into it. Be warned: it contains good news, bad news, better news, and a challenge. Welcome back! This post–the 4th in the Tools of Imagination Series–is a bit different.

Seeing Darrell & Melissa Harrison from the Just Thinking Podcast is always a huge blessing to me – I genuinely love them both and always enjoy seeing Dawain from The BAR Podcast. I love spending time with Arlenys and Andrea from Ordinary People with Extraordinary Lives, an excellent podcast where believers share their testimonies. It is truly encouraging to spend time together, discussing our various ministries, asking questions, and witnessing how the Lord is working in each other’s lives. My fellow bloggers and podcasters from The BAR Podcast Network are at the top of my list. While I can connect with them online, we all know that nothing beats spending time together in person (why your local church is so important!). We have been attending for several years, and during this time, we have developed sweet relationships with other believers from all over the country and world. In sharing about the worship and fellowship – I most definitely love worshipping together with over 8K brothers and sisters, but next to that, the fellowship is one of my favorite aspects (you thought I was going to say teaching, which is also important, but this one surpasses it, at least for me). The app is packed with resources for the whole family, so make sure to check it out, especially during these two free months. They have also recently launched a new homeschool curriculum. As a special offer for my listeners, if you visit the website and use the code MARCIG3PLUS, you’ll get two months free on the G3+ app. If you missed any sessions or breakouts at the G3+ event, don’t worry! The G3+ app will soon have them available, if they aren’t already, by the time this episode is released. It leaves us encouraged and truly blessed as we worship and fellowship with believers from all over the country and the world. This conference is one that I highly recommend because we thoroughly enjoy our time there. There were also numerous breakout sessions to choose from. Speakers like Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, Steve Lawson, and Ken Ham (my grandkids particularly enjoyed Ken Ham’s session on the sovereignty of God in Creation) delivered powerful messages packed with truth and so much to take in.

No creature, person, or empire can either thwart His will or act outside the bounds of His will.” “This is the essence of God’s sovereignty His absolute independence to do as He pleases and His absolute control over the actions of all His creatures. Jerry Bridges, in his book Trusting God (which I highly recommend you pick up and read if you haven’t yet) is the book that helped me to have a clear picture of God’s Sovereignty said: Job 42:2: “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted” Nothing can thwart or stop God’s will from being carried out.ĭaniel 4:35: “He does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth and none can stay his hand or say to him, ‘What have you done?‘” God is sovereign or Lord or ruler over everything. This doctrine is a core essential in our understanding of who God is because it affects every other aspect of our relationship with the Lord. I would like to share some of my favorite aspects of the conference (with the hope you’ll put it on your list for 2025) and provide some helpful resources so you can benefit from the conference at home.įirst off, the theme this year was the sovereignty of God. We are grateful for the opportunity to attend in person, but we understand that it may not be possible for everyone. My husband and I have been attending the G3 Conference in Atlanta since 2017.
3/3/2024 0 Comments Bias amp 2 professionalIt starts with the amp head, before moving down to preamp, an authentic tone stack, the power amp, transformer and then the cab, with EQing at various stages. From there, delving into 5150-inspired tones with some hot-biased 12AX7s and 6L6s worked well with both a six-string in drop C, and a seven in drop A, once we’d changed the low EQ shelf. Step 2: The UI is pretty straightforward, giving the signal path overview at the top of the window, and each selected component becoming deeply modifiable once selected. Step 2: The UI is pretty straightforward, giving the signal path overview at the top of the window, and each selected component becoming deeply modifiable once selected. Add in all of the custom component options, and you have literally thousands of custom amps. Blues is all about gooey clean to mid-gain amps, and Bass brings amps and speaker cabs just for bass guitars. To test a more metallic tone, we went for a tight, Mesa-style saturation via the Treadplate model. Along with BIAS AMP’s built-in amp packs, BIAS AMP 2 adds two new amp packs that widen the sonic palette even further. Either way, with a distortion box in front, the BIAS amp breaks up as we’d expect.īIAS Amp 2 is a solid improvement over its predecessor, with stronger, more responsive amp tones In an A/B test between versions using two Marshalls set up to the same bright JCM-style clean tone, there appear to be more artefacts and a slightly different harmonic response here, hinting at the more random character of a real amp. An AGC bias stage is in- corporated in this unit as an additional pro. The ability to use two mics is another welcome addition over the original BIAS being able to independently place and mix the mics allows for intuitive and fine-grained control over the final tone. For BIAS Amp 2 (which starts at $99), PG has overhauled the core engine, while the $299 Elite edition (reviewed here) includes custom impulse responses from speaker legends Celestion. Artificial intelligence is saving US sales professionals hours of work each day, a survey found. 3/3/2024 0 Comments Small muzzle flash pngHow can I create more detailed textures? Any recommendations for software or workflows? Just going for some standard photoshop noise and taking a portion out of it works okay, but it doesn’t have that high quality detail like in modern games. I’ve only used billboard particles and my main concern is the creation of the textures. It’s likely going to be rather small (compared to first person shooters), but I still want it to look as good as possible for my possible client (this is somewhat of an art test). The muzzle flash I am creating is for a 3rd person isometric game. Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it! Most tutorials on muzzle flashes just use one texture and put that on repeat, but it looks very different from high quality muzzle flashes.Īre there any other little tricks I am missing here? I’m having a hard time to find good materials/resources to learn about how I can go from bad/mediocre muzzle flashes to really good looking stuff. One key aspect I am probably missing is variation in textures. I’m experimenting with my own creation of muzzle flashes and what I found out so far is that it’s a lot harder to create than one might think. Also, I’m wondering, if it would impact performance at all or don’t I have to worry about that for the current generation? Here’s another example I found on art station, which uses more complex meshes:īut I don’t get the same kind of quality feeling from it like with the ones from Ghost Recon. Am I wrong about it and the meshes used are more complex than I think? In this video there are some super cool muzzle flashes being showcased: and to my surprise they look like just plane shapes to me, but they still feel super 3D. Are they using cone shaped meshes or just plane meshes stacked into each other to get them more plus-shaped? I’m currently wondering how AAA studios tackle muzzle flashes for their weapons.

If you want to make more connections you will need to solder or use strip connectors. Only a full-reel length (16.4 ft.) has connections at both ends, shorter lengths only have power from one end of the strip. If your application needs more than the maximum run length you will have to get another power supply or run a wire from the extra strip directly back to the first power supply (wiring in parallel).Ĭonnections can be made by soldering wire in between strips or by using solderless clamps (see right). After the maximum run length, the voltage drop becomes too great and you will lose light and efficiency from your system. TAKE NOTE: Standard Density maximum run length is 32.8 feet (2 reels) and High-Density maximum run length is 16.4 feet (1 reel). When there is a break in your application you can still run one strip to another using 20-24 gauge wire or LED strip connectors. There is a thin black line over solder pads, which marks where you are to cut the strips. However, we realize that all applications have different needs which is why the strips can be cut every 3 LEDs. To avoid buying more than necessary we offer custom-length LED light strips in 3-foot increments up to 16.4 feet long (1 full reel = 5M). We offer these LED strips in Color-Changing R G B. Single Colors: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Ultra-Violet (UV) and whites: Warm-White (3000K), Neutral-White (4000K), and Cool-White (6000K) High-density LED Strip = 60 LEDs per Meter Standard-density LED strip = 30 LEDs per Meter Please see the table on the right for more details. The more LEDs per length increases the light quality and brightness. If you prefer LED strips without a silicone covering, the non-waterproof option can be found here. They must be powered from a constant 12VDC. The strips can be quickly cut down to size and come with double-sided 3M adhesive tape, adding to the ease of installation. They are easy to use, making it possible to install yourself even with minimal knowledge on the electrical side. Our Waterproof IP65 LED Flex Strips are perfect for lighting professionals as well as homeowners with a do-it-yourself attitude. Mounting: Doubled-Sided 3M Tape, or ClipsĬustom Lengths: Sold in 3-Foot Increments up to 5M

There are also multiple ways to organize your windows in terms of keyboard shortcuts and mouse drag-and-drop actions.

So what Rectangle does is allow you to (largely) replicate the Snap feature in Windows 11 by snapping your desktop’s windows into 14 different possibilities. It’s a problem from a productivity standpoint. That hides the menu bar for the application you’re in and the dock that shows your much-needed apps. You’re limited to “Tile Window to Left of Screen” or “Tile Windows to Right of Screen,” both of which put the windows in full-screen. In macOS Ventura, you can still split-screen your windows, but it’s not nearly as efficient. |
