Kubernetes said “Goodbye Docker, Hello Containers”. What should developers say?
Tags: Containers, Kubernetes, Docker, DevOps, Container Orchestration

As the news have already been spreading for some time, starting with the next version 1.20 Kubernetes will no longer support Docker in the same way it did before. We already see some panic in the eyes of admins and developers, but actually this change is not so dramatic. At least not for the developers.

So what’s in it for developers? We’re already confused but should we freak out?

Firstly, we need to understand that with the name “Docker” we actually have been talking about two different environments: one (1) for running containers (container runtime), and another (2) for building containers (development environment). This is the main reason for confusion.

Firstly, good news — this change does not mean you should stop using Docker as a development tool. Docker is and most probably will be for the foreseeable future a useful tool for building containers. The container images we create by running docker build will still run in our Kubernetes clusters. So yes, we will still write Dockerfiles and we will still build containers using Docker.

This change actually is related only with Docker container runtime. Inside of our Kubernetes cluster, there’s a thing called a container runtime that’s responsible for pulling and running your container images. Docker was always a popular choice for that runtime, but it was not designed to be embedded inside the Kubernetes. And that is where the problem was hiding all this time.

In fact, since version 1.11.0 Docker is no longer a single monolithic thing — it is an entire stack, where only one part of it, called containerd, is solely responsible for running containers. Much more things in this Docker stack are related to container building and user experience enhancements that make easy for humans to interact with while we’re doing development work.

Tin manufacturing units have become an important aspect of our lifestyles. We drink cold drinks, beer, and many other things that are packaged in tin cans. Wholesale Metal Tin Container tin cans have replaced glass bottles completely and the tin industry is making good profits. The global demand for tin cans is increasing at an exponential rate. Metal Tins & Small Metal Containers Inside companies, Deep & Flat Metal Tin Containers sports complexes, and discotheques Specialty Bottle glass bottles are now very rare. Recyclable packaging material Tin cans are lightweight, portable, and look stylish in people’s hands. Tin cans, unlike glass bottles, do not break easily and there is a very low risk of injury.

OpenShift Health Checks using Liveness and Readiness Probes
By: Saurabh Dashora
Tags: Containers, Openshift, Kubernetes, Cloud Computing, Redhat Openshift

No one wants to work when they are unhealthy. The same goes for containers.

Basically, why should containers serve traffic when they are NOT healthy enough to do so?

This is where OpenShift Health Checks plays a critical role.

OpenShift Health Checks using Liveness and Readiness probes provides the perfect tool to make sure the incoming traffic is routed to healthy pods. And if you are still wondering why to worry about the containers, you would, at least, want to worry about your consumers. After all, if you send a client/consumer request to an unhealthy pod, your users are liable to get a terrible user experience.

Definitely, you don’t want that to happen in a production application.

In this post, we will implement health check for a dummy NodeJS application and using those endpoints, we will configure Readiness and Liveness probes in OpenShift Container Platform.
Kubernetes Deprecation of Docker Runtime

Be like water, my friend.

img from ais.com

It was bound to happen eventually

Most of you who consume Kubernetes have likely already heard the news that Kubernetes is going to deprecate Docker support in an upcoming release. Surprisingly I have seen quite a bit of panic from both consumers who host their own clusters and from those who use hosted solutions like AKS and GKE. Specifically because some how its getting around the deprecation is happening on version 1.2.

The only thing that consumers should notice in 1.2 is a kubelet warning that gets logged if Docker is the current runtime, the actual deprecation is not expected to occur until 1.23 or later which won’t release until late 2021.

You have plenty of time!

I’m not going to regurgitate the many already regurgitated stories on this. Instead, I will share with you the bits of information I believe will help you save time and premature aging by providing you with the best information up front.

This can help clear up some misconceptions if you’re not totally clear on Docker vs Container Run Times. Long story short, K8s has to use a shim with the docker runtime because a lack of Docker compliance with CRI.

2. K8s Dockershim Deprecation FAQ

A solid list of information on what will work, what wont, what you should be looking to do, and so on. This should help put your mind at ease.

3. Deprecation post on Dev.to

Great info on what's going on, and brings us full circle discussing what devs and admins should be considering while explaining why in a very clear abstracted way.

4. K8 Discussion

Ladies and gentlemen….USE THIS. Don’t wait until the last second to ask questions that might negatively impact you if you don’t get what you need.

Final Thoughts

You have plenty of time to work this out. Be sure to understand clearly what you need to do to be successful. Ask questions. if you’re using a hosted solution like AKS or GKE you won’t need to worry as much since they will take care of everything for you by upgrading the masters and helping the upgrade process to be as simple as hitting upgrade or running a simple command.

I know for a fact that in AKS you can already start playing with clusters that are using containerd as the runtime, though it is in preview. Check it out here.

Lens Could Be the Tool That You Were Missing to Master Kubernetes-Based Development and Management

Photo by Agence Olloweb on Unsplash.

I need to start this article by admitting that I am an advocate of Graphical User Interfaces and everything that provides a way to speed up the way we do things and be more productive.

So when we talk about how to manage our Kubernetes cluster mainly for development purposes, you can imagine that I am one of those people who tries any available tool to make that journey easier. The ones who’ve started using Portainer to manage their local Docker engine or are a fan of the new dashboard in Docker for Windows/Mac. But that is far from reality.

In terms of Kubernetes management, I got used to typing all the commands to check the pods, the logs, the status of the cluster to do the port-forwards, etc. Any task I did was with a terminal, and I felt that it was the right thing to do. I did not even use a Kubernetes dashboard to have a web page for my Kubernetes environment. All of that changed last week when I met with a colleague who showed me what Lens could do.

Lens is a totally different story. I am not praising it because I am being paid to do so. This is an open source project that you can find on GitHub. But the way that it does the job is just awesome!

Image of Len showing the status of a Kubernetes cluster — Screenshot by the author.

The first thing I would like to mention regarding Lens is that it has multi-context support, so you can have all the different Kubernetes contexts available to switch following a Slack approach when we switch from different workspaces. It just reads your .kube/config file and makes all those contexts available to you to connect to the one you would like.

Kubernetes context selection in Lens

Once we have connected to one of these clusters, we have different options to see the status of it, but the first one is to check the Workloads using the Overview option:

Workloads Overview in Lens

Then, you can drill down to any pod or different object inside Kubernetes to check its status and at the same time do the main actions you usually do when you deal with a pod, such as check the logs, execute a terminal to one of the containers that belong to that pod, or even edit the YAML for that pod.

Pod options inside Lens

But Lens goes beyond the usual Kubernetes tasks because it also has a Helm integration, so you can check the releases that you have there, the version of the status, and so on:

Helm integration option in Lens

The experience of managing everything feels perfect. You are more productive as well. Even those who love the CLI and terminals need to admit that to do regular tasks, the Graphical approach and the mouse are faster than the keyboard — even for the defenders of the mechanical keyboard like myself.

So, I encourage you to download Lens and start using it right now. To do so, go to their main web page and download it:

How to draw a face 10 Minutes : Male & Female
Tags: Drawing, Sketching, Sketch, Pencil, Portraits

You were requesting for a long time to make the tutorial of face drawing a long with proportion of different parts of face, so here it is

To make it easy and simple i will divide this face drawing tutorial into 3 different parts : Front view, Side view and 3/4 view , this is part one of three, in this tutorial I will cover front view face drawing of both male and female. basic formula are same for both, but some proportions are different for male from female

Note : Let me tell you that this is not Andrew Loomis method of drawing a face but this method follow the theory of Andrew Loomis

Material Used :

HB pencil (Artline)

Scale

Drawing sheet (Medium surface)

Mechanical Eraser

Lets Start with Female Face

Step 1 :

Draw a horizontal line and vertical line intersecting each other and right angle (90º). then mark a distance from point of intersection both side equally and that distance should be half of size of the eye and then mark equal distance in both side and that will be the size of eye.

Step 2 :

Now we will define the size of the nose, now mark a distance on the vertical line from the point of intersection then draw a small construction line(horizontal) on the mark and now make a triangle on that line

Step 3 :

Mark two lines equal to the size of the eye from end point of nose, that will be position of lover lip and other point will be position of chin

Step 4 :

Now draw the basic shape of eye on both side and then I will define the position and shape of eye brow and for that draw a line joining the nose and end of the eye both side, and draw triangular shape and draw eye brows like this as shown in image above. also draw basic shape of nose

Step 5 :

Now its time define the size and shape of the lips, draw vertical lines from the center of the eyeball and the distance between these lines will be the size of lips, now draw the lips like this as shown in image above

Step 6 :

Now its time to provide shape of the chin and for that draw lines both side whose distance will be half of the eye from the end of the eye and then draw two vertical lines from the center of the eye ball, and join them like this as shown in the figure

Step 7 :

For drawing hairs we should mark the hair line, distance between eyebrow line and hair line will be equal to distance between nose and chin

Step 8 :

Now its time to draw ears, distance between nose and eye brow will be size of ear, so draw two parallel lines touching eyebrow and end of the nose as shown in picture. draw the basic shape of ear between these two lines

Step 7 & 8 will be similar expect the hair style of male

What is the Fibonacci Sequence? and What is the impact of drawing?
Tags: Fibonacci Sequence, Drawing, Learn To Draw, How To Draw, Art

Importance Of Fibonacci sequence in Drawing

The Fibonacci Sequence with the right implementation can help you connect the dots and learn to draw the Fibonacci spiral. The dots here are each number of the Fibonacci Sequence. If you visualize each number as a square and connect the opposite corners of it, you will get the spiral ready.

The artists found the Fibonacci spiral as an effective expression based on the principle ‘Rule of Thirds’. It is the picture composition ideology where the image features are meant to be approached by thirds to bring balance instead of centring them. By implementing such rules, the flow of the picture will eventually be enhanced.

Many artists have already created mesmerizing arts out of the Fibonacci spiral and are have shown the right way of using it. Some artists have outlined the compositions by using not just one but two spirals. It needs observation of the artists to implement the Fibonacci Sequence in the right way to bring out mesmerizing compositions.

You can prefer joining online sketching courses to learn this tactic to be a proficient artist and create mesmerizing art with a balanced composition.

Figuring Things Out//First Post
Tags: Art, Drawing, Personal Development

Hello I am Scotty. I also go by Isketchyourdrift on my Instagram account dedicated to my drawings. I haven’t been fully satisfied with posting my drawings on Instagram lately. I feel as though my posts have to get continuously better and better, and they have been but recently I am failing to upkeep that quality of work. I have done this in the past with sketchbooks/projects/showing friends my work. I need to show my best work and cannot stand showing something that is less impressive than the one before. I get easily discouraged when a current work is significantly less impressive than the one before. I stopped using certain sketchbooks because I have fallen off from a certain style I was using and felt I NEEDED to move on to a new book, new style. These are mental blocks that I have created for myself that I would like to not make anymore. I would like this blog to be a way for me to purge frustrations, show my bad and good work freely, and write about how I feel about my art. I guess I have turned to this outlet because of these many qualms about showing my work with my real life connections.

Drawing history:

I have been doodling during my school classes since elementary school. During college I struggled with finding my interests, switched schools a couple times, and eventually started taking some art classes as community college. That is where I would say I started to learn how to draw, this was around 2018. From there I took more drawing and art classes on the side while getting a degree in Communication from UCSB. I want to one day be a counselor of some sort although I am still figuring out what path I want to take. For now, in COVID era, I am focusing as much energy as I can with drawing while working various jobs.

So you want to be an artist ?

Anybody can be an artist if you put your heart and mind to it . Try sketching once a day in a journal , sketchbook , or maybe just anything lying around the house. Art can be a way of sharing your creativity and imagination with the world and turning that blank prince of paper into something beautiful. It can be a way of distressing art can be used used differently for each person. Art is what you make of it , whatever comes to your mind MAKE IT! Try your best and don’t compare your art to someone else’s.

Do you want to go to college or maybe a university for art? Or you can just do freelance and be your own boss! It’s all up to you , there’s no right or wrong answer! If you do want to go to a college or university make sure to weigh your options and get a good portfolio together. In case your stressing out over putting a professional portfolio together many colleges offer portfolio checks before final applications. I highly suggest doing this option for a higher chance of getting excepted to your dream college!

So, this is going to sound like an excuse; probably because it is. However, my Apple Pencil is legit non-functional, which has curtailed my artsy drawings significantly recently.

In the time I spent troubleshooting I probably could have produced many digital masterpieces. Alas, no resolution has been found and I seem to be destined for a trip to the Apple store to speak with the “geniuses”.

I suspect they are going to say something profound like, “Yep, this is broke”. I will marvel in awe at their genius, surely. Then, hopefully, they will give me a new (or refurbished) product that ain’t broke.

But, that is for another time. Not three days before Christmas. Even in pre-Covid times I wouldn’t dare the mall at this time of year with hopes of actually accomplishing anything. (Now, I might wander down to look at people or something — but probably not.)

So, I had to draw something by (gasp) “hand”. On real paper, with colored pencils.

I couldn’t help but miss the “just go ahead and erase anything that looks stupid” feature of electronic image generation. But, given the scenario as it was, I think this came out pretty okay.

I saw something similar to this done in oil paint and I wanted to take a stab at the image myself. Unfortunately, I had to go from memory, as I couldn’t find a replica of whatever I saw, wherever I noticed it.

Maybe, if I have been good this year, Santa will bring me the colored pens I asked for, so I can give those a whirl as well. And, when all the holiday fuss dies down I will be going to see the geniuses and getting a new electronic pencil thingy.

Let me know what you think, or even better, show me some of your artwork! Thanks for looking/reading!
Christmas Tangles
Tags: Zentangle, Drawing, Christmas, Christmas Balls, Art

Every December I create some Christmas-related Zentangle designs. Here’s what I came up with this month.

This was a string that was suggested in Tangle All Around, the Zentangle group I’m part of on Facebook. I executed it with the patterns florz, IX, therefore, tipple, hurry, cubine, echoism, Hollibaugh, ixorus, ynix, doo dah, fescu, moonpie, mooka, springkle, drupe, dyon, tagh, dribbetz, onamato, three & three, sez, Kathy’s dilemma, and knase:

Because the string above is circular, I decided my theme for December 2020 would be Christmas balls.

Fellow blogger Alice Hendon, who administers Tangle All Around, came out with a new book last month, Life in Tangles, which is a collection of designs created by Tangle All Around FB group. Of course I bought it, and I thought this design, reel, by Sandra Strait, would make a good Christmas ball:

Here’s a ball based on the pattern drupe:

The next one uses the patterns puffle, huggins, bucky, and flux:

And this ball is my favorite, using arukas, sweda, snail, coil, and printemps:

reMarkable Templates to Practice Hand Drawing
Tags: Template, Drawing, Drawing Tablet, Remarkable

With a device like the reMarkable there’s no excuse not to, because you don’t have to save anything and you aren’t wasting ink, pencils, or paper to do it.

“I can’t draw a straight line” remark people make is self-defeating silliness: the muscles and joints of the human arm are built in a way that makes curves natural and straight lines extremely difficult.

Now, if you specifically want to build that muscle memory and get more comfortable with doing the elbow and full-arm movements for curves, you can do this doodling exercise. Or if you want more variety than that, something like this that mixes lines and circles. For line practice you can do things like this, which doubles as hatching practice.

Even if you do nothing else, let your mind wander and doodle in the margins of ebooks or articles sent from the browser plugin as you’re reading them. Get accustomed to doing it without worrying about acceptance, because even if you never become amazing it can be relaxing and sometimes useful. The hard part is learning to look at things differently, because we default to looking at things and thinking “eye”, “nose”, “mug”, etc. in a kind of shorthand that leans heavily on knowledge and symbols, rather than seeing what’s in front of you. Instead you have to learn to see shapes and relationships in things, to look at something and see what’s there in front of you rather than what a thing is.

Term I, Head Drawing I, Week 2

For a description of this unit see my Head Drawing I unit plan. For full context, see the description of my Art Home School Curriculum.

Retrospective

I decided to stop the 100 challenge this week. I feel like it’s 1) jumping too far ahead of where my current skills are, and 2) encouraging rushing through drawings instead of taking my time. I’m going to continue the ground-up style of learning head drawing and save finished heads for when I’m ready. It takes an hour and a half to draw the classic Asaro heads, and doesn’t include any real facial features, shading, or realism, but I learn much more from those drawings than I do from trying to finish a head in 20 minutes just to complete an arbitrary challenge.

Log

Only 25 hours this week, but 24 of that was actual drawing. I didn’t need to do much studying because drawing each head type 6 times (once from a photo, once from a drawing, and profile, 3/4 and straight on for each) was plenty of homework. I only need to draw one more head to finish the Head phase I course, and then I’ll move on to phase II, where I can focus more on the individual facial features.

Good evening.

Thank you for your hard work.

Well,

Today, I’d like to talk about a good tweet that came my way.

I wasn’t thinking about their feelings.

I always casually ask, “Are you okay? I’ve always casually asked them.

But the answer was usually, “I’m fine! That’s all I heard.

Now that I think about it

When I was asked the same question myself

“Help! I never said “Help!

I didn’t want to embarrass the other person.

I’m not sure.

I’ve been saying, “Are you okay? was not for the sake of the other person.

I think I’ve been using “Are you okay?

Maybe I just wanted to say that word.

“Are you okay? I don’t think I’ve ever thought about the feelings of the person

I don’t know if I’ve ever thought about the feelings of the person receiving “Are you okay?

Maybe I was just drunk with my own worry.

Are you in trouble?

I love this!

It’s so good!

A tweet that casually came around.

It changed me a little again.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end!

See you tomorrow!

Talent is a Myth and why it’s a good thing
By: Pauline Hubner
Tags: Drawing, Writing, Sports, Talent, Self Improvement

I’m a decent writer. But most people I know would tell you I’m a great writer.

Since childhood, family members, friends, teachers and strangers alike, told me I had a gift. A talent.

It’s a lie and here is why :

I wasn’t born a writer. I didn’t write my first story before I knew how to walk. But I did start learning what stories were and how they worked early on. I loved watching TV, I listened to audiobooks before sleeping (on tapes!) which soon enough turned into short books. And I found out making up stories in my head during road trips was a good way to entertain myself.

Also when I finally started to write I already had many hours of storytelling practice behind me and it showed.

It wasn’t talent but personal interest and practice.

You’re not convinced? Here is another example :

Both my parents are very good at drawing. And so was I. As their daughter, I picked up drawing at an early age and practice at length (also I did not consider it practice, I was having fun). I became quite good (I would be much richer if I had made people pay for my drawings back in Middle School!) and I was told I had “inherited” my parents’ “talent”. The point is: I lost interest and stopped drawing. Today, I wouldn’t be able to replicate my own drawings — made when I was 12 to 16 — because it isn’t talent, it never was. It was practice.

There are only two ways to become good at something: Personal Interest + Practice or Education + Practice.

As you can see, practice is mandatory.

Which is good news, considering it means you can develop whatever “talent” you truly wish to have. It goes for writing, drawing, playing an instrument, practicing sports… It’s all a question of practice.

Drawing Love

Close your eyes and think about something, someone or some subject that you love.

Open your eyes and draw the subject, exaggerating what you love about it.

Now draw an environment you love around the subject, exaggerating what you love about the environment.

Use color to connect the environment and subject.

After you’ve finished with your drawing, place your attention on your chest while looking at the drawing, until a sensation of warmth is perceptible to you.

As long as people have been making art, the landscape has been part of it. Whether it’s desolate fields or a bustling metropolis, we have a natural desire to capture the world around us. Of course, anyone who’s ever put pencil to paper knows that’s not necessarily easy to do. But one key principle goes a long way in taking your landscapes from “meh” to majestic (and it works in any medium!).

Day #20 (Notes For Myself Series)

It also made the mundane things in life interesting. More and more, I am understanding that creativity isn’t some big gold shiny thing to aim for, it is simply about transforming everyday life experiences into something meaningful or pleasing. It’s through creative expression that we process and make meaning of things.

It has also been helping me to take notice of things around my surroundings and to be more mindful of how I interact with it throughout the day, paying attention especially to how I’m feeling. (Which I always struggled with)

Having a creative outlet has really lightened up my days, even a few days of getting back into drawing, journaling has made a huge difference for me. It allows me to unpack my thoughts, daydream a little bit with my ideas and set the tone for how I want to carry myself each day.

And it also made me realise what is it that makes a good day for me, and how simple it can be: going for walks, making sure I engage with people, having enough rest and just being in the flow and rhythm of life.

I am happy to embark on this journey again and see where the doodles and drawing will take me this year ahead!

Term I, Head Drawing I, Week 1

For a description of this unit see my Head Drawing I unit plan. For full context, see the description of my Art Home School Curriculum.

Retrospective

The main observation this week is that I’m starting at both ends of the spectrum simultaneously — I’m doing very basic head lay-ins, just focusing on structure, but I’m also trying to do fully rendered head drawings with the 100 head challenge. I feel like there’s a huge void between those two ends. I may switch to comic style heads next week for the 100 head challenge instead of drawing real people from photos.

Log

I was able to get over thirty hours this week. I drew over 100 heads (if you count a basic Loomis head)! I also tagged each task as either drawing or study so I could make sure I’m putting in enough actual practice relative to how much material I’m taking in. Below are the summaries per tag. My goal was 10 hours of drawing for each hour of study. I didn’t quite get there, but I was close enough. Tracking the time like this motivated me to clock a lot of drawing hours this week. In previous weeks my study time was probably closer to 10 or 12 hours.

Drawings and Critiques

Drawing for fun.

Every morning this week I drew a medieval sculpture of a head. This one looks like a gnome.

Jetpack Compose — Drawing custom shapes (Circle, Rect, Paths)
Tags: Shapes, Drawing, Jetpack Compose

Using Jetpack Compose alpha08 build. This post will cover how to draw shapes in Jetpack Compose.

Before starting, it’s good to have a grid notebook, something you can just use pen and paper and draw what you want to draw there first. The 0,0 is always in the top left corner. It’s basicly the reverse coordinate system. In a grid of 100x100, the bottom right corner is 100,100. All these examples will use a canvas of 100x100. For each of the example I’m gonna use a little different approach. End result still remains the same.

Circle

The most basic way to draw the circle

@Composable

fun MyCircle(){

Canvas(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dp), onDraw = {

drawCircle(color = Color.Red)

})

}

Drawing Micky Mouse (kinda). May seem a lot, but its just basicly 3 circles. One for head and two for ears. Head at center, left ear at 25x25 and right ear at 75x25.

@Composable

fun MyMouse(){

Canvas(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dp), onDraw = {

drawCircle(Color.Black, radius = 70f, center = Offset(size.width / 2f, size.height / 2f))

drawCircle(Color.Black, radius = 50f, center = Offset(size.width * 0.25f, size.height * 0.25f))

drawCircle(Color.Black, radius = 50f, center = Offset(size.width * 0.75f, size.height * 0.25f))

})

}

Rectangle

In the circle example above you see I use size width/height and calculate based on that. You can use float values directly, but you need to multiply by density. Each phone may have a different pixel density. So 100f x 100f may not be on where you expected it to be once its drawn.

@Composable

fun MyRect(){

val density = AmbientDensity.current.density



val w = remember { 100f * density }

val h = remember { 33f * density }



Canvas(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dp), onDraw = {

drawRect(color = Color.Black, size = Size(w, h), topLeft = Offset.Zero)

drawRect(color = Color.Red, size = Size(w, h), topLeft = Offset(0f, h))

drawRect(color = Color.Yellow, size = Size(w, h), topLeft = Offset(0f, h * 2))

})

}

Paths

Paths allows you to make any custom shape. You can make circles or rectangles if you like. But most of the time you will use Paths to draw triangles, stars, …

fun MyTriangle(){

val density = AmbientDensity.current.density



val path = Path().apply {

moveTo(50f * density, 0f)

lineTo(100f * density, 100f * density)

lineTo(0f, 100f * density)

close()

}



Canvas(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dp), onDraw = {

drawPath(path, Color.Blue)

})

}

Star trek logo

This one has a little curve at the bottom and a border. To achive this I used Surface composable and applied the shape on it. The result is pretty nice.
Honesty: the artistic one

A fifth-grade girl finds her passion for dancing and drawing.

By Vanna Contreras and Lily Yegge | Reporters

Honesty’s nerves were about to get the best of her. Inside, she felt the pressure of things going wrong because she realized she didn‘o’t have enough room to do her performance in her normal setting. Moving to be outside, the change of scenery seemed daunting to the 10-year-old girl. She took a deep breath as she took the stage, where her dance would come to life.

“Why am I nervous? I shouldn’t be nervous because I like to dance.”–Honesty, fifth-grader and dancer.

The Maxfield fifth-graders were participating in a school talent show Dec. 4. Each scholar got to perform their favorite talent for their classmates. Honesty’s love for dance brought her out of her shell, allowing her to openly express one of her many passions. Still, sharing this skill was nerve-wracking and intimidating. She did not want to mess up.

“When I went outside, [Ms. Gottschalk] told me I was the first person to perform,” fifth-grader Honesty said. “Why am I nervous? I shouldn’t be nervous because I like to dance.”

Graphic by Lily Yegge

Honesty not only adores dancing, but she also finds comfort in drawing. When she’s stressed about homework, she often finds herself taking a break to draw. While she creates, she escapes from the pressures of her world, like taking care of her younger siblings, especially during their online school days.

As one of seven siblings, she has strong family values. While visiting her cousin, Honesty enjoys being creative with her. They often visit a kind artist, Nikkie, who converts Honesty and her cousin’s drawings into beautiful paintings to sell.

“Nikkie likes to paint over it to add color to it, and we made a PowerPuff Girl,” Honesty said.

Drawn by: Theewari

Who doesn’t love Winnie-the-Pooh? Once upon a time in England, there was a little boy whose name was Christopher Robin Milne. He had a toy bear called Edward Bear. Every day He was playing with this Edward Bear and the rest of his toy animals. One day his father, A. A. Milne saw this and decided Christopher and his toy animals best for a bedtime story. From that day on, they embraced by millions of children and adults. A. A. Milne named that story as Winnie-the-Pooh. After that, Christopher changed the name of his Edward Bear as Winnie.

Today, real Winnie-the-Pooh and four of his best friends — Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger have been living at the main branch of The New York Public Library.

I also have a toy Pooh Bear. He reminded me to draw him.
A Picture
Tags: Drawing, Picture, Olivia Ward

I drew a picture long ago —

A picture of a sullen sea;

A picture that I value now

Because it clears Life’s mystery.

My sea was dark and full of gloom;

I painted rocks of sombre hue.

My sky alone bespoke of light,

And that I painted palest blue.

But e’en across my sky of blue

Stretched troubled clouds of sodden gray,

Through which the sun shone weak and dim,

With only here and there a ray.

Around my rocks the yellow foam

Seemed surging, moaning in despair

As if the waves, their fury spent,

Left naught but desolation there.

Three crafts with fluttering sails I drew,

And one sailed near the rocks of gray,

The other on its westward course,

Went speeding out of danger’s way.

The other still outdistanced them

Where sky and water seemed to met.

I painted that with sails full set,

And then my picture was complete.

My life was like the sullen sea,

Misfortunes, woes, my rocks of gray,

The crafts portrayed Life’s changing scenes,

The clouded sky Life’s troubled Day.

I longed to paint that picture o’er

Without the rocks of sombre hue;

Without the troubled clouds of gray,

I’ll paint the sky of brightest blue.

My sea shall lay in calm repose,

No hint of surging, moaning sigh.

My crafts, unhindered by the rocks,

Shall speed in joyous swiftness by.

But this shall be when brightest hours

Of hope and cheer are given me.

I’ll paint this picture when Life’s sun

Shines clear upon Prosperity

Tags: Drawing, Autocad, Monitor, Civil Engineering, Cad

I’m Engineer Zeeshan Mehmood from Pakistan and I’m working on AutoCAD for the past 12 years. Here through this platform, I would like to share my 12 years of experience with my engineer's friends throughout the world.

The role of AutoCAD is very important nowadays because all the civil engineering projects are impossible without drawings and the best drawing application is AutoCAD.

All of us know that Civil Engineering Drawings are always complex and that kind of drawings require a good quality monitor. With my 12 years of experience today, I’m going to share the Best Cad Monitor with my engineer friends.

If you are an engineer and you want a perfect so I will recommend you this best review. It will help you 100% and I will also advise you to share this review in your community.

Kind-hearted fifth-grader has a passion for art and anime.

By Courtney McNeill | Reporter

Background noise fills the air as Dipika tries to find a quiet place in her house to complete her virtual school work of meeting with her Bethel Buddy over Google Meet. This can be a challenging task when you have a house full of five other siblings, all of whom are boys. That’s right. Dipika is the only girl in her family with five brothers. She isn’t a fan of being the only girl and says that she wishes she had a sister. Dipika did luck out and has one girl cousin.

“She is like my best friend and also my sister,” said Dipika.

“We had to move to America. I was little so I don’t remember.” — Dipika, fifth-grade scholar

Indie music gradually replaced the background noise as Dipika continued to meet with her Bethel Buddy. Dipika speaks three other languages besides English: Indie, Hindi, and Nepali. Her family moved to the United States when Dipika was a young girl. She doesn’t remember much of it. She did, however, mention missing her childhood best friend from Nepali who has the same name as her but with a different spelling.

“We had to move to America. I was little so I don’t remember.” said Dipika. Her favorite food from Nepal is called a Momo Samosa which is a fried dumpling, similar to a Chinese Potsticker.

In her free time, Dipika is a very talented drawer. She enjoys drawing her favorite Anime characters.

“I think I have too many pictures on my school IPad,” said Dipika as she scrolled through her camera roll for one minute. In her free time, she enjoys drawing on her iPad because it looks cleaner. Characters with blue, pink, and red hair fill and leave the screen as she proudly shows off her unique artwork.
