Learn the basics of what makes a drawing. Master artist Pat Knepley demonstrates what you need to have on hand in your drawing "toolkit" to always be ready to draw.
The most fundamental element of all drawing is the line – but not all lines are alike! Learn about different line qualities and the most essential skill of drawing – contour drawing.
Train your eyes and hands to be synchronized! You'll learn some tips to place items in a drawing – or "composition" – to get the best results!
You'll take common everyday item – a shoe – as your subject for a completed contour drawing. This is a true test of whether you draw what you SEE or what you KNOW.
There are a total of 9 DVDs in this series, with 4 lessons each. This makes a total of 36 lessons, which is perfect for a school year! We will be buying the rest of this series. Yes, I think it's that good!
These lessons are just fun. They don't seem like work or really "learning" at all. The instructor, Pat Knepley, is very personable and easy to follow. She explains everything without "dumbing it down". She's even still interesting to watch after watching a lesson a couple of times (you know how some video lessons just really bore you after once or twice?!) There are a total of 9 DVDs in this series, with 4 lessons each. This makes a total of 36 lessons, which is perfect for a school year! We will be buying the rest of this series. Yes, I think it's that good!
If you have any kids who would like to learn to draw, this is a great resource. I love the step by step clear instructions. It's easy enough for young children, but detailed enough for older. I use the lessons with all my kids! And - most of all - I love that all of the art lessons are faith-based!
Of all the subjects that give homeschooling moms the heebie-jeebies, art seems to top the list. Not anymore. Let Pat Knepley do it for you. In the past few weeks, I've put on the DVD, let her do the work, and - I can already see a difference in the way my children approach a blank sheet of paper.
I checked out this DVD, and was shocked! I'm an art teacher, and I want to get the rest of these DVD lessons. That's a big deal for me - an art teacher - to want to buy art lessons!
This is a big hit in our house! We are already addicted and I know we'll be buying the whole series.
Pat does a wonderful job of explaining each step in detail, in an engaging manner, which is fun and non-intimidating. I love how Pat weaves truths of God and His word into the lesson.
For example, in Lesson 1: Tools of the Trade, she starts off declaring that God is the Master Creator who has given us all the ability to create. Pat starts the lesson by sharing that a #2 pencil and paper are the basic tools to create art. She shows you the different lines a pencil can make - sweeping, jagged, soft, thick - and tells us that we can't create something from nothing, but God did create something from nothing - and reads it straight out of her Bible.


Great looking! I made some a few years ago, but, not as pretty as yours with the buttons and I think your clip style is handier too. Only diff is I made them from size 3 thread. Way too go! You just gave me an idea for tubes of Carmex.
About 4 years ago, I started making these (albeit, a different pattern made with thread) for my booth in crafts shows, and have sold more than 200 of them since! They're the most popular item on my table!
If it's any help, this is the pattern on Ravelry that I used before.
I've also added pink ribbons to the key chains and sold to raise money for Susan G. Komen donations in the past. Very popular.


Hey ya'll! So I am SUPER late in getting this post up but better late than never right? Anyway..I recently had the rare chance to actually go out and enjoy myself at a concert. The special artist who I went to see was none other than my newly dubbed "Voice Bae" aka Kevin Ross. If you follow me and this wonderful blog then you know that I'm totally diggin' this man and his music. His debut album on Motown, The Awakening, was released in March and it has stayed in heavy rotation since. There's a lot hoopla around Kevin's voice and it's for good reason. The brotha can SANG! Naturally I wanted to witness Voice Bae in person so when I found out he was kicking off his first ever solo tour in Chicago, I had to be in the building. Check out my review of Kevin's show below (along with some stan moment rants lol) and be sure to go see him when the tour hits a city near you! Tour Dates and ticket info can be found on Kevin's website.

Adidas to mass produce 3D-printed shoe
Adidas has launched a new sneaker with a 3D-printed sole that it plans to mass produce next year, part of a broader push by the German sportswear firm to react faster to changing fashions and create more customised products.
Adidas already lets people customise the colour and pattern of shoes ordered online but new 3D printing methods will make small production runs, limited edition shoes and even soles designed to fit an individual's weight and gait economical.
Rivals Nike, Under Armour and New Balance have also been experimenting with 3D printing but have so far only used the technique to make prototypes, soles tailored for sponsored athletes and a handful of high-priced novelty shoes.
That's because traditional 3D printers are slower, more expensive and often create an inferior product than the injection moulds for plastic that are currently used to produce hundreds of millions of shoes each year, mostly in Asia.
However, Adidas says its new partnership with Silicon Valley start-up Carbon allows it to overcome many of those difficulties to produce a sole that can rival one made by an injection mould, and at a speed and price that allow for mass production.
"This is a milestone not only for us as a company but also for the industry," said Gerd Manz, Adidas head of technology innovation, announcing the launch of its new "Futurecraft 4D" shoe.
"We've cracked some of the boundaries."
Carbon, financed by venture firms such as Sequoia Capital as well as funds set up by General Electric and Alphabet's Google, has pioneered a technique that prints with light-sensitive polymer resin that is then baked for strength.
Standard 3D printers build up products with layers of plastic powder, a method used by Hewlett Packard which is working with Nike and says its newest machines work 10 times faster and at half the cost than earlier models.
Adidas hopes to sell 5,000 pairs of its "Futurecraft 4D" this year, and 100,000 next year as Carbon cuts the time it takes to print a sole from the current hour and a half to as low as 20 minutes per sole.
The shoes will sell at an unspecified premium price but Adidas plans to lower the cost as the technology develops.

Hero NYPD cop recounts rescue of girl shot in Times Square
Hero NYPD officer
NYPD Officer Alyssa Vogel bravely ran through Times Square with a 4-year old shooting victim in her arms.
NEW YORK - The NYPD officer who heroically ran through Times Square carrying a young girl who had just been shot in the leg is the mother to an infant.
"Not since I've had the baby, I didn't think I could run that fast, said NYPD Officer Alyssa Vogel. "I surprised myself."
Vogel gave birth to her child six months ago. Her response to the chaotic scene on Saturday in Times Square was part policing, part maternal instinct.
"I was really just treating her the way I would want anyone to treat my child. I just wanted to make sure she was going to be OK and to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible," Vogel told FOX 5 NY morning program 'Good Day New York."

Manhunt for Times Square shooter
Police are canvassing the city searching for the suspect in a shooting over the weekend in Times Square.
The child was one of three innocent bystanders shot in broad daylight Saturday afternoon. A 43-year-old woman from New Jersey, a 23-year-old female from Rhode Island, and the four-year-old girl from Brooklyn are all expected to make a full recovery, but the man who put him there is still on the loose.
"My partner and I just sprinted up the block. There was another officer tending to the aided. He yelled he needed a tourniquet. I took the tourniquet off my gun belt and helped put the tourniquet on the child. I just needed to get this little girl to the ambulance so I just picked her up and ran her to the ambulance," said Vogel.
The girl was expected to undergo surgery.
"For somebody who was in such a traumatic experience, she was very calm. She only screamed when we tightened the tourniquet because it's very painful," said Vogel.
The NYPD has released video of a person of interest. They have not released his name, but he has been identified by others as Farrakhan Muhammad, 31. His own brother reportedly provided Muhammad's name to police saying he was the intended target.
Gun violence has surged across the Big Apple with shootings up by 166% in April compared to the same month last year.
"It's going to take time but there are plenty of cops out here and they are all looking to help in any way possible. We are going to get through this together," said Vogel.

Morgantown Machine Partners with Fletcher
By adding Morgantown, which Fletcher views as a high-quality, experience group, the company will add two additional repair facilities in the western U.S. "Ultimately it will result in high quality OEM repairs, more service exchange components available in the western U.S., and a quicker turnaround time on repairs," said Bill Kendall, western U.S. sales, J.H. Fletcher. Morgantown has a full-service complex for component repairs, and a warehouse in Helper, Utah; a hydraulic repair center and a warehouse in Rock Springs, Wyo., and a new warehouse in Grand Junction, Colo. They will be supported technically both by J.H. Fletcher and an in house technical product and customer service support staff.
"In addition to stocking spare parts, Morgantown will be stocking exchange components to allow them to set up service exchange programs," Kendall said. DTS in Delta, Colo., will continue as an authorized J.H. Fletcher & Co. agent for component repairs in the western U.S.

'Let's Go Brandon' Store Opens in Massachusetts
By Matt Margolis Dec 05, 2021 5:40 PM ET
It's been two months since an NBC reporter pretended that chants of "F**k Joe Biden!" at the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega were actually the crowd shouting "Let's go, Brandon!"
In that short time, the phrase went from a viral social media meme to a chart-topping song on iTunes. It's on shirts, bumper stickers, and face masks and has made its way into the House chamber. It even has its own dance. But the saying's journey isn't over.
There is now a "Let's Go Brandon" store.
Hey anyone in Massachusetts need to go shopping, there's a new store in town! #LetsGoBrandon
https://t.co/miQ9OuSRY7
— Andrew Mahoney (@AMahoney49er) December 5, 2021
The retail outlet, which is located in North Attleboro, Mass., sells "Let's Go Brandon" merchandise such as hats, shirts and signs. WJAR-TV of Providence, Rhode Island first reported on the store's opening on Saturday.

Possibilities and limitations of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer
M. Noda, T. Kodama, M. Atsumi, M. Nakajima, N. Sawai, K. Kashima, M. Pignatelli
Background and Study Aims: To date, the accepted criteria for endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer have been: a) elevated-type mucosal cancer less than 2 cm in size, and b) depressed-type mucosal cancer without ulceration less than 1 cm in size. In this study, we attempted to expand these indications. Patients and Methods: Sixty patients with early gastric cancer who did not meet the above criteria underwent endoscopic treatment, and were divided into four groups: those with elevated tumours larger than 2 cm with submucosal invasion (group 1a); those without submucosal invasion (group 1b); those with depressed tumours larger than 1 cm (group 2); and those with ulcerated tumours (group 3). The patients were treated with endoscopic resection using a two-channel scope, followed by additional laser irradiation or heater-probe coagulation (combination therapy) if residual cells were found. Follow-up was by endoscopy and biopsy for more than two years. Results: Endoscopic treatment was effective in 87% of the patients (52 of 60), half of whom required combination therapy. In submucosal cancers, endoscopic treatment was effective in 76% of patients (13 of 17). However, tumours with deep invasion into the submucosa could not be cured. Mucosal cancers larger than 20 mm could be completely resected in 44% of patients (eight of 18) using endoscopic resection, but all five patients with tumours larger than 30 mm had incomplete resections. Conclusions: These results indicate that complete resection using endoscopic resection alone is possible in early gastric cancers measuring up to 30 mm in diameter. Tumours larger than 30 mm, and those with deep submucosal invasion, cannot be curatively treated by the current endoscopic modalities.

Sane Progressive on the industry providing crisis actors
The material I have put together is entirely from Debbie Lusignon, Sane Progressive's video.
I regard this as so important and interesting that I have done further research to look up some of the links provided by her.
It has been an inordinately frustrating task – I even lost all my work at one stage and I cannot get the formatting right or include all the screenshots without messing things up.
The crisis industry spawned by the 2012 NDAA
This is the propaganda from CNN "debunking" various "conspiracy theories" around the Miami shooting on Valentine's Day.
I must say that every time one of these events happens I have to be taken through the circumstances of each one and have to be persuaded that it was not a genuine event.
In particular, I have been particularly allergic to the idea of the presence of crisis actors along with drills being carried out.
I am deeply indebted to Debbie Lusignon, Sane Progressive for doing the research to prove that this indeed exists and what's more you can go searching on the internet for this. It's all there in the open.
THE NDAA THAT LEGALISES PROPAGANDA AND PSYOPS
The NDAA legalizes the use of propaganda on the US public
The NDAA of 2012 legalised the use of propaganda and psyops against the public of the United States nullify the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which explicitly forbids information and psychological operations aimed at influencing U.S. public opinion.
This was passed by both Republicans and Democrats. Congress went out of their way to make it legal to carry out psychological operations
The question needs to be asked why would they introduce provisions that would be unpopular with the public (if they knew about it) if they are not intending to use them.
In the wake of passing this law a whole crisis industry sprang up.
Debbie goes through various examples of such companies. This is NOT conspiracy theory. You can go onto the Net and see these companies for yourselves and check the services they offer.
There are numerous companies , providing services such as
actors for protests and rallies
people to stage chemical, terrorist actions
you can even hire cadavers
Let's have a look at some of the material Debbie found
CROWDS ON DEMAND
Crowds On Demand was founded by Adam Swart who was, amongst other things was political organiser for Jerry Brown's political campaign.
Crowds on Demand is an American publicity firm that provides clients with hired actors to pose as fans, paparazzi, security guards, and professional paid protesters.[1] The company operates in Los Angeles; San Francisco; Las Vegas;[2] New York City;[1] Washington, D.C.;[3] Iowa; and New Hampshire [4] The firm was founded in October 2012 by Adam Swart
Crowds on Demand- Wikipedia
This is from their website:
More recent companies talk about crisis simulation, deliberate manipulation of the public
CrisisCast
CrisisCast is a company based in the UK. Here is a description from its website.
Award winning role play actors and film makers specially trained in disaster and crisis management.
We dramatise events for emerging security needs in the UK, Middle East and worldwide. Our specialist role play actors – many with security clearance – are trained by behavioural psychologists and rigorously rehearsed in criminal and victim behaviour to help police, the army and the emergency services, hospitals, schools, local authorities, government, private security firms, shopping centres, airports, big business, criminal justice departments, media and the military to simulate incident environments for life saving procedures.
We use state of the art British film industry techniques, props and special effects to help trainers deliver essential, hands-on, high octane crisis response and disaster management training. We also work with trainee doctors, psychologists and care professionals.
Our crisis management exercises can test monitoring and communications systems, safety plans including lockdown and evacuation procedures, the ability of emergency services to co-operate and respond effectively and - of increasing importance - their joint ability to respond to the press, media and information posted on social platforms and the internet.
All strategy is developed in partnership with our clients.
PROTESTS, RALLIES AND ADVOCACY
Whether your organization is lobbying to gain approval of a project, move forward a legislative initiative, bring additional pressure within complex litigation or trying to see swift and effective action in another way, we can set-up protests, coordinate phone-banking initiatives and create non-profit organizations to advance your agenda.
It provides a list a rather surprising list of associate companies
Here are some of them.. :
ADS GROUP UK
The crisis actor company is associated with an aerospace and space contractor company that is holding the Security and Policing Conference 2018 to take part in a closed-security facility and is holding meetings with all the senior government policy makers.
The blurb which has now disapeared from the internet advertises that it provides access to seniot decision- and policy makers of governments as well as procurement officers from around the world
ADS is the Premier Trade Organisation for companies in the UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space Sectors. Membership is made up of over 1000 UK registered businesses.
ADS activities are focused around the following key areas:
Supporting business development opportunities
Supporting UK manufacturing and our industries' supply chains
Influencing the policy debates of most importance to our industries
Encouraging investments in technology and innovation
Enhancing the profile of our industries
Increasing Member value through a range of services
The material on the conference has now disappeared from the internet
This is a particularly-interesting one that provides a wide range of services the nature of which they do not hid
Magnum Service UK
Our capabilities of Casualty Simulation (Cas Sim) effects range from the unobvious and not visible to the physical and traumatic injuries such as:
Primary health care simulation - rashes, blisters, bites and shock
Closed/healing wounds including lacerations, bruising and scarring
Infected and necrotic wounds
Head and facial injuries, including avulsions and abrasions
Fractures, both open and closed
Amputations, partial and full
Catastrophic hemorrhaging
Perineal and pelvic injuries
Abdominal and chest injuries; including sucking chest wounds (pneumothorax) and eviscerations
Blunt trauma, de-gloving injuries and entrapment injuries
Ballistic injuries, such as; gunshot wounds, blast injuries, fragmentation wounds and large cavity wounds
Burns (1st, 2nd & 3rd degree) superficial, partial and full thickness
Bioterrorism, such as; Chemical, Biological, radiation and nuclear (CBRN) and other toxins and plagues
We add realism to Casualty Simulation (CAS SIM) training. Magnum Services provide professional amputee actors and makeup specialists. Our actors have many years of experience including being featured in film and television.
Utilizing the unique combination of our realistic prosthetics and expert CAS SIM effects, our role players will expertly and appropriately use their skills, experiences and simulated injuries to mimic the emotions and actions of a casualty, resulting in realistic and very definitive clinical training delivery.
Our actors are experienced in ad-libbing and improvising during the scenario, reacting to their simulated injuries (both visually obvious and any injuries hidden under clothing), the quality of treatments administered and to meet all of the training objectives required, including reacting to subtle prompts by training instructors.
The roles that our actors are required to play vary from military casualties injured in a battlefield environment (including live firing exercises), a civilian injured in a road traffic accident, to a patient in a hospital bed undergoing care for a variety of both physical and mental health issues. Our team is adaptable and experienced to perform any role in any given situation.
We pride ourselves on our professionalism, which is why we always work precisely to your exact training requirements.
Crisis actor companies set up by ex-military people aligned to aerospace and space agencies, participating in closed security conferences to get access to policy and decision makers at the head of the government.
This demonstrates that they are going to carry psychological operations
CRISIS CLOUD
CRISIS CLOUD – CRISIS SIMULATION EXERCISE MEDIA WEB PORTAL
Crisis Cloud is cutting edge web technology that simulates real world communications during a crisis simulation or crisis exercise. It's been designed in conjunction with our IT specialists to enhance the player experience and the learning of the teams.
CREATING REALITY AND CONNECTING PARTICIPANTS IN CRISIS SIMULATION EXERCISES
Traditional exercises rely on telephones, but in the real world we now communicate in myriads of ways. Crisis Cloud provides dynamic, interactive web pages, simulated news videos and social media.
To log on all you need is a broadband connection. Players can take part in the crisis exercise from their offices across the corridor or across continents.
Participants in the crisis simulation exercises are provided with password-protected access to the platform, giving you confidence your exercise won't leak into the real world.
Prior to an exercise all the news stories and tweets are pre-programmed to pour in as the exercise progresses. As in real life some of the social media activity is just white noise but contained therein are important pieces of information that the players will need to asses.
Crisis Solutions' journalists will be phoning participants and updating news stories as the simulation exercises progress.
Similarly, players can put out internal messages to staff and external messages to journalists and other stakeholders. Thus providing an excellent audit trail after the event.
Crisis Cloud is constantly being updated with new features by our IT consultants.
CRISIS CLOUD – YOUR SCENARIO, OUR REALISM
Crisis Cloud is tailored to your specific exercise requirements, but a typical example will include:
News stories based on the scenario. Stories are updated as the crisis exercise progresses
News videos to bring the immediacy of media scrutiny
Client pages for internal and external statements
A Twitter inspired social media page that is accessible to players and updated in real time
Here is a Wikipedia article which looks as if it is not going to be there for very long - perhaps after being quoted by Debbie - who knows?

As I walked down the stairs from the airplane in Estonia, I thought "Wouldn't it be great to be waving to a cheering crowd right about now?" I had the same thought as I returned home to the [United] States. Life can be very cold at times, and nothing makes people happier than having people cheer for them.
—  Adam Swart, founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand, 2013 interview with LAist[2]
The firm sells services that allow clients to simulate a celebrity lifestyle. Its "Celebrity Shopping Experience" is a trip through town in a luxury car, with cheering fans and paparazzi at every stop. The service was the subject of a "Good Morning America" piece in which a correspondent pretended to be the King of Liechtenstein while he went through a shopping mall with a paid entourage.[5]
The company also carries out publicity stunts for companies and public relations firms using actors.[6]
Just before the November 2012 election, company founder Swart said that the company was considering a request by a candidate for a staged political protest.[2] According to an article in the New York Post, Anthony Weiner paid Crowds on Demand actors to attend campaign rallies during his 2013 campaign for mayor of New York City.[7]
Crowds on Demand has come under criticism for selling the pretense of fame and popularity. Elizabeth Currid-Halkett, an associate professor at the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, criticized the company for deceiving the public.[6]
A Washington Post columnist mentioned an e-mail he received advertising the company's "Celebrity Arrival Service" offered to politicians:[3]
I received an e-mail the other day from Crowds on Demand, an L.A.-based company that, for a fee, will send a bunch of "team members" to your event, stuffing the crowd with confederates to make you look important.
The service has been characterized as astroturfing. Dan Schneider, writing for The Atlantic, said "There might be some gray area between offering a small token of appreciation to otherwise voluntary supporters and full-blown astroturfing, but spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars to prop up a struggling cause seems to fit more squarely in the latter category." Schneider also noted that Swart admitted "a revelation that a campaign is paying for supporters is deeply embarrassing, and he takes great pains to keep his clients' identities a secret."[4]
According to a February 2016 report for NBC Los Angeles, a paid protester claimed to be "a concerned citizen" when speaking out against a planned development in a city council meeting for Camarillo, California in 2015. He later stated to reporters that his role "was scripted, they told me what to say." Swart claimed the company has "worked with dozens of campaigns for state officials, and 2016 presidential candidates" but declined to identify his clients for fear of losing future business. Public records identified only one campaign, for the Six Californias, had paid Crowds on Demand.[8]

NHS Highland pledge fresh look at North Skye health services, as campaigners prepare for day of protest in Portree
The planned changes have provoked anger in the north of Skye
NHS Highland today confirmed that the Scottish Government has approved "an external view" to look at the arrangements for North Skye in terms of urgent care, minor injury and access to A&E services.
The news comes on the eve of a day of protest in Portree against ongoing cuts to rural health services.
The health authority say they have listened after meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport, the local MSP, MP, elected members and community council representatives.
However, David Alston, chair of NHS Highland, said the wider redesign proposals for Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross are continuing and "excellent progress is being made to design the new hospital in Broadford, develop Portree as the 'spoke' for the north and strengthen community services."
Community campaigners in north Skye have been angered by plans to remove in-patient beds in Portree, and proposals which they feel leave large parts of the island without access to emergency care.
Mr Alston added: "Despite all our efforts to date, A&E services, emergency planning, and access to 24/7 medical cover, particularly in the north of Skye, continues to be a source of both concern and some confusion.
"I heard this again when I met with representatives of north Skye in August and ongoing also through discussions with others. This is why I made an offer to involve local clinicians and relevant consultants to meet with community representatives. I am in the process of arranging this and I am confident it will take place in early December.
"I would also like to take this a step further and link this into some external opinions of our current arrangements.
"Once this work is completed we would take the findings to the wider public and set up a local forum to oversee any actions."
However, he continued: "I need to be quite clear that this is not about the wider service redesign for Skye, Lochalsh and South West Ross."
Commenting on the proposal for an external view local MSP Kate Forbes said: "It's very important that there is an independent, external view of out of hours and emergency care at Portree Hospital. I'm in no doubt that there is confusion and worry in the north and west of Skye around local provision of emergency care. It's vital that there are reassurances around local provision and I think that should be provided by somebody who is entirely independent and external.
"Most people I speak to make clear that their concern is not with the location of the new hospital but instead around local emergency care in Portree. That's where we must focus our efforts to ensure that there is urgent and out of hours care, not just in theory but also in practice."
Ian Blackford MP said: "As an elected member all I can do is feed-back to the board the concerns being raised. We need local clinicians to advise us and in this case having some external support I am sure can only be helpful all round.
"I will continue to press NHS Highland for dates around the promised meeting with clinicians and to confirm the terms of reference for the external input and time-scales."


From my first listen through Takasago Army, I wondered how it could be categorized as straight black metal because, in the general sense of the style, most of the music on the record has little, if any, resemblance to the subgenre. Most of songs would fit well under the melodic metal umbrella, if not the melodic death metal subgenre. Some tracks might be filed under melodic black metal with symphonic bits and occasional tremolo picking, but I find the music too chuggy to be included there. As I've seen the band say before, they cannot be categorized, and I wholeheartedly agree because Takasago Army is essentially whatever it wants to be, unhindered by boundaries created by subgenres. Further forays into Chthonic's earlier work should prove to be interesting beacuse I'll get to see if there is a pure black metal side to the band.
The most appealing thing about Chthonic is that their home base is in Taiwan. Not too many artists from the country can claim to have gotten international attention, but after 10 years of hard work, the band certainly deserve it. At the beginning of this year, I watched interest accrue across various metal websites, but it was only a month or so ago that I decided to give them a look. They're touring with one of my favorite bands (Skeletonwitch), too, so they have to be decent, right?
And they are very good. Despite apparently being a step back from earlier works, I've been enjoying Takasago Army immensely, even though it offers little variation from song-to-song. The first full track, "Legacy of the Seediq," gives a nice little tip-off of what to expect with its culturally invigorating melodies and musical passages.

Lyrically, Takasago Army is excellent because it digs deeply into World War II from the perspective of Taiwanese citizens who were forced to fight on the Axis' side. After the war ended, however, China gained a foothold in the country, and the Takasago Army formed with aspirations to defend from further take overs.
As always, Chthonic offer their newest album in two varieties, each a different flavor to tickle your fancy. For those looking to play it safe, the band recorded the album in English, which is likely an effort to capture a wider fan base. But if you're looking for something a little more exotic, a Taiwanese version of the record also exists and is one I'm particularly eager to try when I get the chance. I'm guessing the two will be the same musically.
The record ends up being quite varied because it combines traditional Taiwanese chants with distorted guitars and a modern production. Even so, possibly the worst thing about the album is the production. It accomplishes its job of giving the music oomph and a kick in the teeth, but by doing so, lacks dynamic range. But in this day and age, that's the norm, and I'm not surprised it found its way to these Taiwanese metallers.
Takasago Army doesn't push any boundaries or bring anything new to the table, admittedly, but it is a very good slab of modern metal in its own right, and one that should stay enjoyable for a very long time. Yet it is relatively unique because it combines Asian cultural melodies with metal, which is, for the most part, unknown inside popular metal scene. I can only hope Chthonic continue on their upward climb to success, and we see more metal bands come across the pond from Asia with this wonderful sort of music.

Q: django dynamic forms with widgets I am using the tutorial at http://proteus-tech.com/blog/cwt/django-dynamic-form/ for creating dynamic forms.  It works perfect for creating the forms, but I would like to use some of the inputs with a Textarea widget. This is the code that is working from the tutorial, without any widgets defined:
from django import forms
form_config = {'title':'CharField', 'email':'EmailField', 'active':'BooleanField'}
dynamic_form = forms.Form()
for key in form_config.keys():
    dynamic_form.fields.insert(-1, key, getattr(forms, form_config.get(key))())
print dynamic_form.as_table()

I tried just adding the widget to the form_config:
form_config = {'title':'CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)'}

But that gives me a "module object has no attribute" error.  Is there a way to add the widget to the dynamic form?

The Swedish Society for Construction and Consulting Law was founded 1983 by a group of lawyers and engineers from various different organizational backgrounds.
These groups are still represented in the society which now has approximately 400 members.
The main purpose of the Swedish Society of Construction Law is to promote and encourage the knowledge and development of construction and consultancy law in Sweden.
Furthermore the purpose of the Swedish Society for Construction and Consulting Law is to facilitate the getting together of lawyers, legal scholars and engineers with a special connection to or interest in construction and consultancy law.
In addition to these purposes the Swedish Society for Construction and Consulting Law has since the founding in 1983 promoted legal research and writing in the field and for that purpose awards scholarships for research and writing.
Biannual meetings are arranged for the members to attend, typically with the purpose of discussing relevant issues in case law and legislation but also interesting technical, legal and contractual challenges in specific building- and construction projects. Often these meetings serve to strengthen the ties to other societies with ties to construction law.

Bloodshed in Kenya, plans for it in Turkey
Posted 29 Jan 2008, 3:01pm By StevieB
News of more bloodshed, killings and chaos is coming from Kenya every day at the moment. Despite international mediators installed in the region to bring agreement between the two political leaders, the violence blazes on, leaving hundreds of people seriously injured, homeless or dead.
The Indie has given prominence to this issue today by making it a front page story, while the Guardian reports that police have used military helicopters to disperse a crowd of people who are carrying machetes and clubs. The Times reports how a Reuters witness saw one man who had been forcibly circumcised before dying.
Elsewhere there are reports in the Guardian and Time magazine today that Turkish police have busted a network of ultra-nationalists who were plotting to kill Nobel prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk and other targets. The 13 arrests included a former general and a high-profile lawyer according to Time, who also report that a cache of weapons and explosives was seized during the arrests.
Terrifying as this network is for anyone speaking out in Turkey, the arrests are something of a milestone. The arrested general, Veli Kucuk, is the first general officer in recent Turkish history to be brought in by police for questioning, according to Turkish newspapers.
However this faint sign of progress is undermined by another story from Turkey, the sentencing of Professor Atilla Yayla for insulting the nations founder, Attaturk, by suggesting that the early nation wasnt quite as progressive as official accounts state. Naturally, he is contesting this as a flagrant attack on freedom of expression.
In Turkey there is a culture of censorship, the cornerstone of which is the reviled Article 301 banning any speech which insults Turkishness. It is a culture which fosters attacks on journalists and academics, whether it is in the courts or in physical violence like the murder of Turkish-Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink. Even my colleagues in Amnesty International Turkey have been affected: when I visited last year I heard how their assets had been frozen and their fundraisers harassed by the police.
Closer to home, I found this story a cross erected by an Armenian community in Wales to commemorate the Armenian Genocide was vandalised this week, hours before a ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of Hrant Dinks death.

A: Try this code:
const arr = [Object.keys(result[0])]
  .concat(result.map(({x, y, name}) => [x, y, name]))

Alternative, cross-browser solution:
const arr = [Object.keys(result[0])]
  .concat(result.map(function(obj) {
    return [obj.x, obj.y, obj.name]
  }))

A: You can try something like this.
var mainArr = [['x', 'y', 'name']];

for(var i = 0; i < result.length; i++){
    var arr = [];
    arr.push(result[i].x);
    arr.push(result[i].y);
    arr.push(result[i].name);

    mainArr.push(arr);
}

console.log(mainArr);

IT Department Earns 2020 LocalSmart IT Innovation of the Year Award
SEGUIN, Texas – The City of Seguin's IT Department has been named as a 2020 LocalSmart IT Innovation of the Year Award recipient by StateScoop Magazine, a publication that features the latest leaders and innovators, news and events in state and local government technology.
IT Director Shane McDaniel and his IT team received the award for their work on a recently completed Radio Infrastructure Upgrade project.
With an end-of-life radio systems infrastructure, the City embarked on a two-year journey to advance radio communication in the region. In conjunction with Guadalupe County and LCRA, additional towers were added to a regional consortium of 70 tower sites to enhance public safety and utility support for approximately 160,000 citizens with 22,237 square miles of 700MHz radio coverage.
"The radio infrastructure upgrade was significantly more than an internal facing IT effort, said McDaniel. "Many people and departments collaborated, employees and partners alike, coming together over the past two years to make this effort a success not only for the City of Seguin, but for the region as a whole. I am proud of what has been accomplished for the community, I hope the community is proud as well," he said.
Upon learning that the City received the award, City Manager Steve Parker gave kudos to the IT Department saying, "The City of Seguin is so fortunate to have such a high performing group of IT professionals in its organization. To be such a relatively small City, this group of professionals continues to be recognized by its peers on a regular basis for its forward thinking and proactive approach to IT governance."
The LocalSmart Awards program was created to highlight the inspirational people and projects making city, county and municipal governments more efficient and effective. Nominations for the 2020 cohort of LocalSmart Award winners were sourced by StateScoop readers.
