Focus manually on a star or distant light ![]() ![]() This is especially important when you shoot Milky Way Panoramas.Ĥ. The reason for this is to maintain the color uniformity in your images, something that will make editing your Milky Way shots much easier. Personally, I always set my white balance to 4000 kelvin and then adjust this value in post-processing to achieve the best color accuracy. Values between 3800k and 4200k are usually a good starting point to capture the most natural colors in our galaxy. Set your white balance to 4000kĮven though you can easily adjust the white balance when you shoot in Raw, you should set a manual white balance when you photograph the Milky Way. I always use Topaz Sharpen AI to increase the sharpness of the stars. Note: If you use a longer shutter speed and you see some trails, you can improve the sharpness of the stars using a piece of software to fix blurred images. You can learn more about this on my Milky Way photography with star-tracker guide. If you are already comfortable with the Milky Way photography basics, you can break the Milky Way shutter speed rules and capture more quality in your images by using a good star-tracker. Adjust the shutter speed between 10 and 25 seconds This is also a good trick if your camera sensor is ISO invariance.ģ.

It's like that famous line in the movie Patton: "If you defeat Rommell's plan, you defeat Rommell." The problem is that while it's a bit better than it was in Legion, the combat model still isn't fleshed out enough.įirst off, the battle map is still too small. The idea behind this method of combat is a sound one devising a pre-battle plan to outwit your opponent and hope that your boys can pull it off. The problem is, you cannot control the units manually when the fighting ensues, you're merely a spectator. When armies meet on the overland map, you play the role of general and draw up a basic battle plan, and then watch as your army runs off in real-time to slug it out against the enemy. The key difference between Chariots of War and other strategy games is that the combat model is completely hands-off. While Chariots of War is undoubtedly a better game than Legion, it still has a generic, paper-thin feel to it. In fact, over 50 empires are in the game (ten of which are playable), as well as four campaigns it certainly doesn't fail due to a lack of scope and size. This time around, developer Slitherine Strategies turns back the clock and shifts the playing field to the ancient Near East, allowing you to play such empires as the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Nubians. Barbarian tribes wander throughout the Fertile Crescent as well, looting and giving players an additional threat to neutralize.Ĭhariots of War is the follow-up title to Legion, last year's underwhelming turn-based strategy game set in ancient Rome. Diplomats are sent as emissaries between nations, but they can always be returned headless to send a message. Players must balance military needs with domestic improvements, or risk rebellion. The citizens of every empire have varying happiness and welfare levels depending on how well they are fed, how crowded their cities are, how many young men are conscripted, and available entertainment. Players take control of one of 58 nations - Egyptians, Babylonians, Nubians, Assyrians, and others - and mastermind economic development projects, sell marketable commodities, collect resources, and take direct control of their armies during battles. Units appear to be case sensitive and are not the same name as written in the manual/guide.Chariots of War presents the fierce battles of ancient Mesopotamia.

The lender’s agent will ask you to review your original application, update any inaccuracies, and sign a new copy. You're required to inform the lender if your financial situation has changed-for example, if you have changed jobs or spent some of your savings-before your loan is issued. When you sign a mortgage, you're agreeing to use the home as collateral for the loan, allowing the lender to foreclose and sell the property if you don't make payments. The mortgage is your acknowledgement that the lender will have a lien on your home until your home loan is paid off. This allows borrowers to easily see the amount they're responsible for repaying. ![]() This document shows the amount borrowed, the interest rate, the annual percentage rate, and the total cost over the life of the loan. The federal government requires all lenders to provide a “truth in lending” statement to borrowers who are approved for a mortgage.

![]() ![]() The evidence for Neptune’s rings came in 1989, when Voyager finally reached that planet and revealed wispy, elegant arcs. (I know, right? Those classic illustrations of the solar system really left a lot out.) Astronomers discovered faint bands around Uranus using ground-based observations in 1977, and NASA’s Voyager mission revealed the same around Jupiter in 1979. After all, Saturn had them, and so, it turned out, did Uranus and Jupiter. Scientists imagined that Neptune might have rings well before they had any evidence. We’ve never seen Neptune and its rings like this before. ![]() And already, that promise is being fulfilled. This was part of the promise of the Webb mission: As the telescope searched the depths of the universe for the faintest, earliest galaxies, it would also provide an entirely new view of our cosmic neighborhood. The observatory that produced the image, the James Webb Space Telescope, works in infrared wavelengths, so Neptune resembles a spooky crystal ball dipped in dry ice rather than its usual, striking cobalt-blue self. ![]() There they are, a pair of delicate bands encircling a shimmery marble, the whole ensemble doing its best impression of Saturn. So I wanted to present this information to you, and let it sink in a little bit, before getting into the news of the day: Astronomers have directed their best space telescope at Neptune and captured the clearest view of its rings in more than 30 years. But for those of us who have certain textbook images of the solar system in our mind, the knowledge that Neptune is a ringed planet might come as a surprise. Planetary scientists know this, as do hard-core astronomy fans, probably.

Eventually, we will have an unimaginably blissful future with Christ in the new heavens and new earth. We can still experience joy and peace in the midst of these trials through the power of Christ. We are guaranteed that we will face persecution as believers. The Bible does not promise us that we will be free from earthly trouble. Many other verses could be added to this list. Paul told Timothy that “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12).įinally, Jesus told His disciples, “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20). God told a man named Ananias that Paul (then called Saul) would soon visit him and that He would “show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake” (Acts 9:16).Īfter being beaten by the Jewish leaders, the apostles rejoiced “that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name” (Acts 5:41). The idea that God promises to prosper all Christians is not what the Bible teaches, as shown in the following verses: Yes, God does know the thoughts He has toward us, and ultimately in heaven, we will have a peaceful future and a hope. So is it appropriate for Christians to cite this verse as a promise from God to us? Not really. This verse shows God’s plan for the Jewish people-plans of peace and of a future and hope. ![]() While the Jews were in exile, God sent these encouraging words through a prophet named Jeremiah. Consequently, God removed them from the land for 70 years so that the land of Israel would lie fallow for the 70 years that the Jews owed to God. They were supposed to allow the land to lie fallow every seventh year, but had neglected to do so. By comparing Jeremiah 25:11 with 2 Chronicles 36:21, we learn that the reason for this 70 year period of judgment was that the Jews had failed to keep the seventh year land Sabbath for 490 years. The Lord used Babylon as His instrument of judgment, and the Jews were to live in the land of Babylon for 70 years. This was a promise given to the Jewish people living in exile. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Here are some of the verses in the immediate context.įor thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. The 29th chapter of Jeremiah makes it clear that these words are part of a letter written by Jeremiah to Jewish exiles living in Babylon under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar. Once again, do you know the context of this verse? Do you know when and why these words were spoken and to whom they were spoken? Were they given as a divine promise to individual Christians? Let’s take a look. It is used in efforts to encourage the downtrodden. Many Christians love to recite this verse as though it is a promise for God that He only wants or plans the best for our lives. I can’t count the number of times I have heard this one misused in the past few years.įor I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. So without further ado, let’s jump into another commonly misused Bible verse.Ĭommonly Misused Verse #2: Jeremiah 29:11 Briefly stated, we must be sure to use the Bible properly rather than trying to make it say what we want it to say. If you have not read the first post in this series, please make sure to read it so you can catch the gist of what this series is about. Both Christians and unbelievers are guilty of misusing Bible verses by ripping them from their original context. ![]() ![]() ![]() XSplit Broadcaster: A popular alternative to OBS Studio, offering similar streaming and recording capabilities with a more user-friendly interface.

I don't recommend Chardonnay with its low acidity and characteristic oaky flavor. Instead of red wine, you'll use a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, or Pinot Blanc. This same day method is convenient for times when you want an easy and elegant meal for family, friends, and special occasions. Renowned for their flavor and tenderness, chicken thighs absorb ample flavor during the braise and don't require extra marinating time.
