The VocaLight system consists of 3 main components: a wireless transmitter worn by the teacher, a receiver base station that picks up the teacher's speech signal, and speakers that distribute the teacher's voice throughout the classroom. Studies have shown that using sound field systems like VocaLight immediately improves student comprehension, attention, and test scores while reducing teacher vocal fatigue. VocaLight uses high-frequency infrared technology that is not prone to interference, allowing an unlimited number of classrooms to be equipped without managing channels. Its small, simple design integrates audio mixing capabilities and dual channels for team teaching.

Bouquet Marriage Ministry often presents on the topic of intimacy (i.e. closeness) – especially on the primary ways in which intimacy is expressed to nourish a relationship.
We use a web at a model to illustrate the strength received by the relationship by nurturing these inter-connected areas of intimacy.
Webs are renowned for being [pound for pound] stronger than steel. They have numerous connecting points, and overlapping features to stabilize the web.
By working these intimacy features into our relationship we strengthen our marriage with overlapping ways to draw closer together.
This e-book is an accompaniment to the book "Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills," more details here: http://www.davidsherwin.com/creative
"Creative Workshop" contains 80 creative challenges that will help any designer reach a breadth of stronger design solutions, in various media, within any set time period. Exercises range from creating a typeface in an hour, to designing a paper robot in an afternoon, to designing web pages and other interactive experiences. Each exercise includes compelling visual solutions from other designers and background stories to help designers increase their capacity to innovate.
Before the book, however, there was a quarter-long class where design students had to complete 80 projects in just 11 weeks. This Teacher's Guide describes the pedagogical methods behind the book, how to create your own Creative Workshop class or workshop series, as well as how to utilize challenges from the book most effectively in a classroom setting. This text is intended for teachers of design and creative thinking, but it may also be helpful for designers and creative managers.
