![]() When they gather the offerings, they serve God. When they usher the worshippers to their seats, they do it for God. When the ushers see to it that an atmosphere of reverence and order is maintained before, during, and after the service, they do it for God. The purpose of ushering in church is not merely to serve people, as in a theater or restaurant. Ushers are a tremendous force in setting the tone for worship and helping to prepare the people to hear and respond to the Word of God. The usher serves as a “first representative” of Jesus Christ for a worship service. Although an usher’s love is no stronger than the love found in the whole congregation of the body of Christ, nevertheless the usher performs a major role in ensuring that people see and experience that love.Īn usher is a spiritual ambassador for the local church – God’s ordained and organized body of believers. ![]() In Christ, you have received God’s unconditional love, and, in Christ, you are called to extend that same unconditional love to others. The ministry of ushering is a crucial part of worship because it is one of the most visible ministries in the Church. In most cases, they provide the first impressions of church and ministry of the pastor. Each usher has the opportunity to impact the lives of new and existing people in the church and should be viewed as an extension of the pastor’s hand. The definition of an usher means door keeper but in truth, our churches greatly depend on diversity and magnitude of the many services ushers provide. ![]() My slogan has always been ‘First In, Last Out’ ![]() CHURCH USHERING 101 USHER BOOKBuilding a cheerful, engaged, and “ serve you with a smile” church ushering team.įor more than a decade I have been serving as a church usher both at the Moi University Christian Union and different worship assemblies, as well as in my career as an emergency first responder in most cases heading the protocol teams during different occasions. ![]()

![]() It keeps us exploring the picture plane and makes our viewers more engaged in what we produce. Variety, one of the eight principles of art, creates interest in our drawings. ![]() It’s also no secret that variety is an important factor in our drawings. By holding the pencil the same way – all of the time – in all of your drawings – you are limiting what is possible as far as mark-making goes. It’s no secret that the way in which you hold your drawing pencil will affect the marks that you make on the drawing surface. But once I opened myself up to holding the pencil in different positions, my drawing greatly improved. This makes foreshortening easier.It took quite a while for to me to understand the importance of drawing with different grips. Try to imagine a cylinder when drawing fingers. Notice the differences between the two, from the shape of the fingers to the fingernails. Observe and try to experiment on these fingers. Also, on male hands, veins are more likely to be exposed. Some features of male hands include wider fingers, compared to female’s shorter and not pointed fingernails. This is most obvious on adult male hands. The outline has many cornered edges, showing the prominent muscles in the hand (what gives male hands bulk). Of all the feminine aspects of the female hand, male hands are completely the opposite. These are some characteristics of a female hand. The manner of outlining the female hand is smoother and with less or without too much cornered edges as compared to a male hand. On female’s hand, it’s quite smaller, fingers thinner pointed, and nails longer. One thing to notice is how the outline forms the hand. On the left, it is most likely to be feminine and belongs to a female. Looking at the illustration above, compare the two hands. Since both hands have the same constructions method, outlining the hand properly can tell whether a hand belongs to a male or female. The distinction between male and female hands can be found in the manner of how it is being drawn. The example above shows the difference between a male (right) and female (left) hand. Considering these factors can make a difference to the hand. Hand styles are affected greatly by gender and age. ![]() Differences Between Male and Female Hands and Fingers Method 2 : Drawing Hands and FingersĪnother simple approach to constructing hands.Īnd again with a different hand pose. The thumb is the thickest while the pinky (baby finger) is the thinnest.īe aware of this muscle group of the hand (palm).įollowing the curve lines reveals the alignment of each finger. Try to observe your own fingers and see how each fingers may vary in size and width. Make use of the guidelines as you begin to form the actual hand structure. This helps massing out the guidelines more easier. When constructing, it is always better to think square. Try to observe the height or length differences of each finger, the middle are most likely to be longer of all five fingers. It is always good to look at your own hand as a reference. Step 3 (ab0ve) … Having the middle finger as a guideline, create more slightly slanting vertical line for the rest of the fingers. Step 2 (ab0ve) … Next is to draw a vertical line for the middle finger. Step 1 (ab0ve) … Start by drawing a vertical rectangle and divide it into 2 equal division horizontally.

![]() ![]() That’s why you get this four-leaf-clover pattern. Once the technician walks away, perhaps to start another patient on a visual field test, the patient can lose interest in the test and stop responding. Why would this lead to false-negative responses? Usually, while the first four spots are tested, the technician is hovering over the patient and the patient does a good job. Test points spiral out from those central quadrant testing points. ![]() The reason this occurs is that the testing algorithm always starts in the center of each quadrant that’s where it does a threshold test, even if you’re using the SITA standard strategy. This is a classic “cloverleaf” pattern (see circled area)-a type of false negative result. However, the central points in each quadrant are much lighter than the surrounding points. See if you can identify the nature of the artifact and its cause before reading the explanation.Ĭase 1.At first glance, the visual field defects look like dense arcuate scotomas. Here, I’ll present a number of visual fields in which something is amiss, and then explain what produced the artifact. It’s important that we remain vigilant for artifacts and errors. On the other hand, some diseases-as well as some types of human error-can produce test results that do resemble glaucoma, giving the appearance of a glaucomatous scotoma. ![]() It’s true that some nonglaucomatous problems produce a pattern that’s recognizable as something other than glaucoma. But in the clinic, seeing a host of patients on a busy day, we may be looking through visual fields quickly while simultaneously fielding patient questions, and not always looking carefully at the indices and other details-details that might alert us that something isn’t what it appears to be. However, that can make it easier for us to misinterpret a field we feel comfortable that if there’s an issue, we’ll notice it. Most of us are aware of the issue of artifacts, and we know the patterns of many of them. So, when we’re reviewing field results in an attempt to determine a patient’s condition, and whether or not progression has occurred, we have to expect variability and artifacts. The test subject is a human being, prone to being imperfect and influenced by external factors, and the same is true of the person administering the test. L ike any test, visual field tests can contain artifacts. ![]() ![]() International freight forwarders typically handle international shipments and have additional expertise in preparing and processing customs documentation and performing activities pertaining to international shipments.

After blowing up King Kai's planet and killing everyone on it, the strengthened Cell gained the ability to use Instant Transmission the method by which he does this is not clear. In addition to the technique's rarity, its unique usefulness both in combat and in tactical situations has resulted in several villainous characters with the ability to learn techniques on sight gaining the technique from Goku after seeing him perform it, and then using it to follow after the heroes or otherwise become more dangerous. After wishing to become the strongest warrior in the universe, Granolah gained several new abilities, including a technique for instantaneous movement which Goku comments on as being faster to use than Instant Transmission. During his battle with Dyspo, however, Super Saiyan God Goku was unable to use Instant Transmission, as Dyspo's sheer speed eclipsed even the instantaneous technique. Goku trains the technique to requires much less concentration later in the series, as shown in his fight with Top. ![]() Whilst the technique itself allows for travel that is effectively instantaneous, performing the technique itself does require time to concentrate and/or to place the fingers on the user's forehead to aid concentration. Meta-Cooler, however, is aware of this technique, and (at least in the Funimation dub) claims it to be a favorite of his, catching Goku off-guard in their battle by outclassing Goku's own usage of it. Even beings with great knowledge of techniques or lots of experience, such as the Galactic Patrol, Babidi, Moro and Beerus, are either totally unfamiliar with the technique or do not know how to use it. The ability is fairly rare, allowing Goku to gain the element of surprise. He can also use two of his signature attacks in conjunction with this technique the Instant Kamehameha and the Instant Spirit Bomb. The move allows him to escape from attacks which would be otherwise too fast to dodge, and can be used repeatedly at short ranges to disorient opponents who cannot follow his ki signature as he teleports around them. The technique is also frequently used by Goku in battle. Throughout the rest of the series, Goku uses the technique often to travel around the universe. Goku intended to use the technique to get to Earth before the rebuilt Frieza could harm anyone ( Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle depicts Future Goku accomplishing this goal), but since Future Trunks had already come to finish Frieza and his father off, Goku deemed it unnecessary, deciding to demonstrate it after his return to the fellow Z Fighters instead by warping to Kame House and stealing Master Roshi's sunglasses in under a few seconds. The Yardrats taught Instant Transmission to Goku during his time on their planet. The technique has many practical uses throughout the series. In addition, there is a limit to the amount of people Goku can teleport at one time, as in Dragon Ball GT he was unable to transport the entire world's population in a single trip. During the Kid Buu Saga, this complication arose when Goku found himself unable to teleport to New Namek since their ki signatures were too far away for him to reach. Since Instant Transmission requires a ki signature to lock onto (whereas Kai Kai does not), the technique's success is dependent on the user's ability to detect the desired signature. Goku describes it as more complicated than traditional teleportation, as it consists of merging one's energy and demolecularizing their atoms in order to enter and transport oneself through the Teleportation Zone to begin with, then reassembling in the area where the locked-on signature resides. In the movies, the process is further elaborated on as entering a Teleportation Zone to transmit, where a user uses the zone as a waypoint to lock onto the desired ki signature and exit at that destination. The user can rematerialize anywhere within a short range of their target. Instant Transmission allows the user and anyone that is in physical contact with them to instantly travel great distances (from meters to light-years, between the living world and Other World, or even travel outside time itself) just by concentrating on a particular individual's ki signature and transmitting or feeling that being's location. When used by Yardrats and those who gained the technique thanks to them, it is achieved via Spirit Control. This action is usually accompanied by the user placing his index and middle fingers on their forehead to help themself concentrate, though if extra time is taken the technique can be performed without this aid. ![]() |
