Beautiful drawings and paintings are a hallmark of a Charlotte Mason education. But what if you’re not an artist?
Well I can barely draw a stick figure. But I’m not going to let that discourage me from teaching my children about art and guiding them with Charlotte Mason drawing lessons once they begin school.
My 6 year old creates beautiful drawings and paintings and finds endless inspiration from the world around her. Why are children so naturally inclined to create, yet many of us adults can barely find the strength and courage to try our hand at drawing or painting?
Teaching drawing is less a matter of talent or teaching a child to draw well, and more about teaching a child to see.
From the very beginning of a Charlotte Mason education, we are cultivating the habits of attention and observation in our children. During the long hours spent outside with our babies and toddlers and preschoolers, we’re drawing their attention to birds, wildflower, little insects, trees, and more.
It is during this quiet growing time that a child develops the keen observation skills that will translate to being able to recreate the world around him through drawing.
Children must learn to notice the big picture. The general shapes that make up a tree. The texture of a favorite flower. The power of perspective on a landscape.
They must learn to notice the small details. The range of colors on a single autumn leaf. The way a shadow falls behind a tree. The proportions of different bird species.
All of this work in seeing is done before a child ever sits down with a paintbrush and continues throughout the child’s education and hopefully throughout life.
We do have cheap crayons, paint, and paper in our house, and I find them useful for certain occasions.
But when we sit down to do an art lesson or create as a family, any child who wants to join and focus at the task at hand (even my little ones who are not school age) will use the high-quality art materials.
Children who are able to use these materials from a young age will learn to use them properly and take care of them.
read Charlotte Mason’s own words in her home education series.
I don’t aim to provide an all-inclusive resource for how to implement Charlotte Mason drawing lessons, but I will share what works for our family.
Beginning in Form 1 when a child began formal lessons at age 6, Charlotte Mason included a weekly drawing lesson along with two brush drawing sessions each week. These were included in the morning lessons as part of the curriculum.
Children were also encouraged to do brush drawings during their free time in the afternoons. These afternoon drawings might be an extension of the morning work as a suggestion by the teacher or initiated by the student. Afternoon drawings were often scenes from the child’s imagination of a tale or history book. They also could be objects from an area of special study in natural history like birds, seashells, rocks, leaves, etc.
Lessons were short at 15-20 minutes depending on which form. The drawing lessons were not the same occasion to make an entry into a nature notebook. It was common for there to be purposeful overlap in the material being covered though.
She also mentions sculpting objects from clay as part of the art lessons.
Students retain from using pencils and drawing outlines which is why softer mediums like watercolor, chalk pastels, or vine charcoal are preferred.
I have heard some Charlotte Mason enthusiasts propose that a “dry brush” technique should be used. I was surprised to learn that this method of painting with watercolors isn’t actually mentioned in her writings. It seems that to get the level of detail in some nature drawings a dry brush technique would work very well. But there aren’t any indicators that students were instructed to only use a dry brush technique. Read more here.
Drawing lessons need not be kept in a single notebook as often a lesson might utilize a slate and chalk or require different paper for various mediums.
Though the drawing lessons were often of natural objects, these lessons were not done in the field during nature outings.
Drawing lessons included a mix of observing and drawing a specimen in the classroom and drawing objects observed with their own eyes from memory.
In the lower forms, objects were observed and drawn from afar. Nature specimens were pinned to a white sheet of paper and displayed at a distance allowing the child to observe the shape and structure of the object without getting too engrossed in the details.
Children should be encouraged with their drawings, but not flattered. Children need suggestions for improvement and areas to focus on in order to grow. Without this, their interest in drawing wanes quickly.
Teachers should not physically interfere with the work of the child. Encouragement and suggestions are made, but it is up to the child to make the alterations.
Begin with objects that in their detail show their final shape like a broom, a feather, or a straw mat. Young children notice details first. When the details create the shape, it will be easier for the child to recreate that shape.
Even though the child will be looking at the details, the object should be placed at a far enough distance so that the child can get a full view of it. The concepts of proportion, light, and shadows will be tough for a young child to grasp, but they should be noticed and discussed.
Next, work with simple solid objects like apples, berries, leaves, and simple baskets. Most children will happily and fairly easily draw these irregular, yet familiar objects. Even if it’s not quite in proportion or lacks a definitive shadow, anyone could probably recognize a child’s rendition of an apple. This delights a child!
Lessons in human form start from the beginning. It’s challenging, but a necessity to illustrate scenes from the imagination or from life. Children draw their own fingers, their hands and feet, and then other people. Point out the proportions of heads and faces.
Drawings of people should largely be done from memory to keep the child from focusing too much on the details.
Finally, children draw intricate objects like chairs, tables, and bookcases. The perspective involved in these drawings make them incredibly challenging.
While moving through these stages of drawing, the child also learns brushwork.
Children must learn how to properly grip the paint brush and position their paper to be able to paint without their hand resting on the paper at all.
They must learn to mix the watercolors into distinct shades and how to put the paint down on the paper in purposeful strokes.
Once a stroke has been put down, it should not be touched again. This art in finality takes practice and planning.
Children should learn techniques in how to observe and create shadows and fine details.
Children will have “homework” to do in their own time during the afternoon 2-3 times a week.
You can assign specific homework, but children often come up with their own ideas.
This is the time when children have the opportunity to put the skills and techniques they have learned in drawing lessons to use in the real world. They might choose to draw a favorite tree, illustrate a visual narration of an engaging fairy tale, or draw scenes from a story from their own imagination.
What about the nature journal?
The nature journal is not directly related to drawling lessons, though it is often complementary.
We choose some areas of special study each term. The special studies are based on my children’s interests and the seasons. They might include subjects like birds, rocks, butterflies, weather, etc.
I try to plan our drawing lessons to coordinate with our areas of special study. If we are studying birds we may do a drawing lesson on a feather, showing movement, blending colors found in a favorite bird, etc.
The child decides what and how to make entries into his nature journal, though we set aside time for making entires each week. With a weekly drawing lesson, brush drawing practice twice a week, and afternoon homework, the skills learned during the week often translate directly to nature journal entries.
Do you need a curriculum to teach drawing lessons?
Most parents have no art training. But most of the time, a curriculum or art program is is not necessary.
Since a huge part of drawing and art is the mere act of seeing, we can serve our children the best by cultivating this skill.
When it comes to the actual drawing, the method and progression I outlined in this post is explained in great detail with additional exercise and activities in this Parent’s Review article.
I decide on our topic or area of focus each week, and then I look for resources to help me teach it.
As a total beginning, I had no idea what kind of paints or brushes or paper or the different between the options. Creative Bug was my best investment into our art lessons, and at only about $5/month it was well worth it!
They have thousands of online classes in all different types of art. I started with watercolor classes but also experimented with drawing classes among others. Even though these classes aren’t exactly in line with the Charlotte Mason method, they gave me a better starting foundation for teaching art.
I did some of the classes with my daughter, but I did several by myself as my own mother culture.
If you want to try it out, here is a 14-Day Free Trial to Creativebug + Save 20% (including sale items!) at Joann!
Beyond those classes, I have found countless tutorials on YouTube that are fantastic resources for our drawing lessons.
I will say that I at some point, my daughter’s skills will advance beyond what I am capable of teaching. She has a gift for art and a keen interest in creating. She participated in an art camp last summer and will do one again this summer. In the next few years, we will probably look into art classes during the school year too.
I hope all of this has been helpful, and that I’ve made it clear that yes, you can teach your child to draw! If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will definitely try to answer them. You can also follow along and see more of our homeschool adventures on Instagram.
I remember years ago when I was taking a early childhood education course, it mentioned not physically helping a child with art. Yes give them suggestions and encouragement but physical help can hindered their creativity so I love that you mentioned that and looking forward to teaching myself and my children to draw!
It takes a lot of restraint for me, but I can understand why it’s best!
Thanks for the article! I am in the process of deciding how to go about educating our littles, and really appreciate the effort you make to share! I my background is in art (painting degree and classical/naturalist training afterward) and a great! book to read is Henry Poor’s The Practice and Science of Drawing – it is quite dense, but gives an excellent foundation, especially if you are trying to teach and aren’t familiar with the theory behind it. Thanks again!
I’m so excited to discover this website and specifically this post on drawing. I can’t wait to incorporate this into our homeschool day.
I’m so glad we’ve found each other! Drawing has been such a lovely addition to our days!
Hey! I have a question for you. If Charlotte Mason liked copy work for teaching grammar and sentence structure, what are your thought’s on tracing as a means of learning how to draw things in proper proportion?
Hey there! So copywork is done by looking at the letters or a word, taking a picture in your mind, and then writing the letters or the word. Charlotte Mason didn’t advocate for tracing in writing or in drawing. For drawing, she warned against even outlining or sketching out something first and instead used the same technique- look at an object, take a picture in your mind, and then reproduce it. Hope that helps some!

Thank you for making the Board of Directors and Supervisors a harmonious and delightful group and for trusting me with the presidentship after the merger. There comes a responsibility. As Spider-Man says, “With great power comes great responsibility.” I am thankful that the directors, supervisors, and officers with great power are joining hands to make Tainan Dental Association thrive. Since I got involved in the Association’s affairs, I have been thinking about what the objective of the Association is. The voice and the power of more than a thousand dentists must be great. Together, we shall be able to stand up for our rights, enhance healthcare quality, and improve the quality of life. The mobile oral health van hit the road on July 2, 2018, and I have to thank the directors and supervisors for working as volunteers in the first two months, as well as the enthusiastic dentists who have used the vehicle to do preventive health care in elementary schools and provide dental care in remote communities. How wonderful it is to have you in Tainan. Dentists have a social responsibility for giving oral health education. Over the past few years, dentists in Tainan have fully shown their interest in the public welfare through oral hygiene demonstrations for elementary school students and oral hygiene competitions for the disabled. We encourage one another; we give friendly support for one another; we have a compassionate heart and aspire to compassionate acts. We are Tainan Dental Association.

Step 1: Using a longer ice screw (22 cm), drill a hole at a slight angle in the ice.
Step 2: Remove the screw and place another screw or your v-thread tool in the hole so you can approximate the angle at which to drill the next screw in order to intersect the first hole at the bottom.
Step 3: Drill the second hole at an angle, looking down the shaft of the first hole to identify when and where the new hole intersects the first one.
Step 4: Blow out any debris from the hotel to make it easier to thread your cord through it.
Step 5: Push one end of your cordelette into the hole, and with the sharpened hook of a v-thread tool, pull it out the second hole. Cut the cord to length so you leave behind only minimal equipment. Tie a Flemish Bend or Double Fisherman’s to join the two ends together.
Step 6: Thread your rope through the loop of cord in the v-thread anchor and you’re ready to rappel!
Note once again that the ice quality will need to be factored in when deciding whether to rappel off a v-thread anchor system.

By almost anyone's political calculation, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's increasingly problematic drive for the White House will be practically impossible to pull off in November unless he can carry Florida, the premier battleground state.
Although Florida went Democratic in 2008 and 20012, Trump until recently only narrowly trailed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by a few points in the citrus state. Last Tuesday, however, a new poll from Monmouth University showed Clinton with a nine-point lead over Trump, 48 percent to 39 percent.
Some analysts say that Trump's biggest challenge will be to galvanize rank and file Republicans, especially white women, and somehow try to break into Clinton's solid support among blacks and Latinos.
But there's another problem that Trump has largely ignored until now that could tip the balance against him if he's not careful: The fast spreading and highly dreaded Zika virus in southern Florida.
Concern within the state about the mosquito-transmitted virus that can damage the fetuses of infected pregnant women has been festering for months and is detected in Miami Beach.
The Republican-controlled Congress departed in mid-July with a $1.1 billion spending bill to fight the spread of the virus and help develop a vaccine mired in the Senate. Democrats complained that the Republicans had loaded up the measure with "poison pills" including a ban on federal spending for Planned Parenthood.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) blamed the Democrats for blocking final action on the spending bill and holding up action by federal agencies to assist Florida. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the bill was unacceptable in its present form and blamed the Republicans for risking the health of thousands of people and new born infants.
Clinton intervened in the Zika virus crisis in early August, joining many Republican and Democratic officials from Florida in demanding that Congress cut short its summer recess and pass the $1.1 billion spending bill to help combat the spread of the dreaded disease in the continental United States.
But Trump has largely ignored the issue, essentially leaving it to Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott to handle. During campaign stops in two Florida cities August 3, Trump dodged reporters' questions on what he would do, according to CNN.
"You have a great governor who's doing a fantastic job -- Rick Scott -- on the Zika," Trump said. "And it's a problem. It's a big problem. But I watch and I see. And I see what they're doing with the spraying and everything else. And I think he's doing a fantastic job and he's letting everyone know exactly what the problem is and how to get rid of it. He's going to have it under control, he probably already does."
There is little doubt the Zika crisis could blow up in Republicans faces if they're not careful. Just as the Republicans won back control of the Senate in 2014 in part by criticizing the Obama administration's lackluster response to Ebola, the GOP could get hit this fall for standing in the way of Zika funding.
Gov. Scott had urged public calm, even as he and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) pleaded with the federal government to provide more resources and called on Ryan and McConnell to summon lawmakers into a special session to break the impasse over the Zika funding bill.
The disease, which is spread by mosquitoes and poses high risks to pregnant women and the elderly, already has affected Brazil, other Latin American countries and Puerto Rico, and now threatens the United States. Until recently, there were no reported cases of homegrown virus infection, in which people contracted the disease from insect bites in the continental United States.
Typically, victims here either contracted the disease while traveling abroad or through sexual contact with someone else who had been infected overseas.
But that all changed earlier this month when Florida public health officials reported a handful of cases originating from mosquito bites in the relative small, one-square-mile neighborhood of Wynwood just north of downtown Miami.
Then on Friday, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirmed that the Zika Virus had begun spreading beyond Wynwood, to portions of Miami Beach and beyond. That immediately sparked concern over the potential adverse effects to public health and to Miami's estimated $24.4 billion annual tourism trade.
Public health officials said that at least five people have been infected in the new expanded area, including two from the Miami Beach and three others who were tourists or visitors from Texas, New York and Taiwan.
The CDC has warned people against traveling to central Miami, a potentially devastating blow to the local economy. Last year was the busiest year for tourism in the Miami area, according to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau. Some 15.5 million people visited the city, a 6.4 percent increase over 2014.
The Wall Street Journal reported that officials are concerned about the impact of the Zika on tourism throughout the state if the virus begins to spread. The governor announced last week that 57.4 million visitors came to the state during the first six months of the year, the highest number ever, according to the report.
Political analysts are divided over the potential fallout from the Zika crisis this fall. If the crisis gets worse before November, then some Florida voters could blame incumbent Republican lawmakers or even Trump, the party's standard bearer.
According to Politico, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) has asked Ryan to convene an emergency session of Congress to pass a Zika bill immediately. Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) is reportedly worried that Congress's inability to act may seriously harm his chances in what is already a tough reelection campaign.
"The GOP made a fateful decision to take a long summer break without first approving the Zika funding," said University of Virginia political scientist Larry J. Sabato. "Some Republican congressmen in Florida are paying the price. Can they somehow manage to get the bill passed now, or will the most conservative members of the GOP caucus prevail? We shall see."
As for the impact on Trump, Sabato said that it's possible he could be hurt in the backlash, although he has done much to separate himself from the GOP and Congress in his public image. "For all we know, he'll denounce them," Sabato said in an email.
"It depends on what Republican and what they've done about it, and whether or not they've made a serious effort to try to address it," Ayres said in an interview. He stressed that Rubio has been a leader in the fight for funding for Zika treatment in Florida.
"I don't buy this argument that, okay, there's a public health crisis and now they're going to take it out on one party rather than the other when both parties are part of the problem of not moving off this issue," he said. "People are going to make individual judgments about individual candidates."
Ron Bonjean, a Washington policy adviser and former Republican congressional aide, argues that Trump might actually benefit from the controversy among Florida voters "by putting the blame and pressure squarely on the Obama Administration for failing to properly manage the issue."

This Chemistry quiz is called 'Oils' and it has been written by teachers to help you if you are studying the subject at high school. Playing educational quizzes is a user-friendly way to learn if you are in the 9th or 10th grade - aged 14 to 16.
In this high school Chemistry quiz we look at some of the oils used in cooking - particularly the vegetable oils which are extracted from seeds, fruits and nuts.
Have you ever been on a car journey and looked out at field after field of bright yellow flowers? They are the very distinctive flowers of the rapeseed plant. As well as being very colorful and pretty, these plants are extremely useful. They produce very nutritious, oil-rich seeds and are the third largest source of vegetable oil in the world behind soyabean oil and palm oil.
The use of vegetable oils with which you will probably be most familiar is in cooking. Vegetable oils have higher boiling points than water which means that foods can be cooked at higher temperatures than by boiling in water. Cooking is simply a way of making chemical reactions happen in food in order to alter the flavors and to soften it. Chemical reactions happen faster at higher temperatures so cooking food in oil is faster than boiling in water. Fats and oils also add flavor to foods. The downside to this is that oils are rich in energy so there is a danger that you could become overweight if you eat too much food that is cooked in oil. There is so much energy in vegetable oils that even used cooking oil can be processed to provide a fuel that can be used in diesel engines!
You don't need to know the structure of vegetable oils for high school, but it helps you to understand the next point. A molecule of vegetable oil comprises two parts - a glycerol molecule attached to one or more long chain molecules called fatty acids. The fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated. By now, you should understand these terms but just in case you need a reminder, saturated in chemistry means that a molecule contains only single bonds between the carbon atoms but unsaturated indicates there is at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Health-wise, eating unsaturated fatty acids appears to be better for your health than eating saturated fats. Unsaturated oils are normally liquids at room temperature but saturated fats have higher melting points and tend to be solids. Vegetable oils can be converted into solids by hydrogenation using a temperature of 60°C and a nickel catalyst - the product of this chemical reaction is a solid vegetable fat, margerine is an example. Two other words that you need to associate with vegetable oils are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. If you are not sure what these terms mean, think about the prefixes - mono and poly, what do they ususally mean?

Author finds declares that first of all the play is another confirmation of homosexuality Wilde (as today all already know), because it describes a heavy share of a woman whose husband is cheating on her with men. However, literary critics reject the sensation, claiming that it has long been known, and this play, and the location of the manuscript. Wilde’s grandson, Merlin Holland, said that for the first time in the “tragedy of his wife” appeared in 1929, and in 1982 was published.
Meanwhile, the British Association of Gays turned recently to the Queen Elizabeth with an unexpected request: to rehabilitate posthumously famous English writer Oscar Wilde. The author of “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in 1895, was sentenced to two years hard labor for an affair with the young Lord Alfred Douglas. Hard survived the test nilly, three years after his release, 46-year-old writer died. British gay men feel that it is time to restore the good name of Oscar Wilde.

In the stylistic world that has become the modern age of technology it a blessing and a curse to be so connected all the time. One of the obvious downsides is it leads you to a less conscious way of living, accepting things as they are, and almost seem to fall into this mode of just running on autopilot. Today Peter Minkoff has written a fabulous guest post and is sharing a few tips to help you on your way to achieving the art of consciously living.
Conscious living is not an easy feat. In a lot of situations we simply do things instinctively without putting much thought in what we are doing and when. And if you want to live a conscious life this aspect has to change, and we need to start being aware of what we are thinking, how we are feeling, and about creating a life that we want rather then just going with the flow and accepting our own circumstances. Balancing all of this is truly an art form in its own right. And this article will help you understand it better and maybe even teach you how apply it in the right way.
The first step in conscious living is becoming aware of yourself and the world around you. You need this in order to see which aspects of your life are on autopilot and which ones you are in control of. It is crucial that you take the time to explore yourself, figure out what kind of a person you are right now and who you want to be. And as soon as we start being aware of our thoughts, actions and our surroundings, we will be able to make conscious decisions about all of those aspects, instead of letting our unconscious mind control them. This will help you feel in control of your life and make some of the choices a lot easier and at the same time more effective. So wake up, and smell the coffee!
It is not an overnight change. It takes time and effort but the results can be staggering. Start by changing up the little things, and putting some extra thought into some things you without thinking. Take for example gift giving, it is an excellent way to practices both awareness and thoughtfulness. First take the time and observe the person you are buying a gift for, try to truly see them and not your unctuous version of who they are supposed to be. Then take the time to choose the perfect gift, you could go for some memorable and funny gifts that will make them laugh, and introduce a bit of happiness. Again, be aware of the the emotions you cause in others, this will help you adjust and improve on your relationships both at work and in your private life.
Conscious living allows us to take charge of our lives. Knowing where we want to be and what we want to achieve can help us steer our lives in the direction we want to go. So strat off by reviewing your past actions and decisions, and try to figure out which of those were intentional and thought through and which were just an instinctive response to a situation. This will provide you with a clear picture of what you life has been so far. Now it is time for a change. First start off my reflection on your daily routine, if it is easier for you, you can keep a journal and right down some of the daily essentials, that way you can review your thought process as well as your daily decision making routine. Next, go a bit wider and see the goals you have set for yourself. Have you achieved them, how long did it take, have you given up, and why. These will all help you get to know yourself better, and that in return will be the driving power for making conscious lifestyle choices from this point forward.
So there you have it, a conscious lifestyle is truly an art form. It is necessary for us to view all the aspects of our current life in order to make a change, but having the knowledge and perspective that this manner of living our lives allows us to can improve on the overall quality of our life. By getting to know ourselves and taking the time to see what drives us we can have a fuller life, better relationships, more fun and most importantly, quality self reflection. And that is essential for experiencing growth as an individual.

Italy has a long and deeply rooted artistic tradition. Even in the Neolithic Age, the inhabitants of Italy produced beautiful artefacts. Many influences from different European regions have enriched the country over the centuries and left Italy with what is possibly the largest collection of artistic treasures in the world. While many regions of Italy have developed independently after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Italian Renaissance represents the pinnacle of the art scene. Artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and later Bernini and Caravaggio have left an unparalleled artistic legacy to humanity.
In modern times, Italian art has expanded its influence and includes interior and fashion designers, music artists and performers whose art has achieved new levels of beauty and sophistication and is admired around the world.
The Italian Cultural Center promotes and supports Italian arts and culture in the Twin Cities. Our partnership with the Walker Art Center, the Minnesota Opera and the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a testament to our continued commitment.

Software testing is a process of executing software in a controlled manner. When the end product is given to the client, it should work correctly according to the specifications and requirements stated by the client. Defect in software is the variance between the actual and expected results. There are different types of testing procedures, which when conducted, help to eliminate the defects from the program.
In our day-to-day life, when we go out, shopping any product such as vegetable, clothes, pens, etc., we do check it before purchasing them for our satisfaction and to get maximum benefits. For example, when we intend to buy a pen, we test the pen before actually purchasing it, i.e. if it's writing, does it work in extreme climatic conditions, etc. So, be it the software, hardware, or any other product, testing turns to be mandatory.
Software testing is a process of verifying and validating whether the program is performing correctly with no bugs. It is the process of analyzing or operating software for the purpose of finding bugs. It also helps to identify the defects / flaws / errors that may appear in the application code, which needs to be fixed. Testing not only means fixing the bug in the code, but also to check whether the program is behaving according to the given specifications and testing strategies. There are various types of strategies such as white box testing, black box testing, gray box testing, etc.
Functional testing is done to detect functional defects in a system.
Performance testing is performed to detect defects when the system does not perform according to the specifications.
Usability testing to detect usability defects in the system.
Security testing is done to detect bugs/defects in the security of the system.
The list goes on as we move on towards different layers of testing.
To determine the true functionality of the application being tested, test cases are designed to help the developers. Test cases provide you with the guidelines for going through the process of software testing, which includes two basic types, viz. Manual Scripted Testing and Automated Testing.
Manual Scripted Testing: This is considered to be one of the oldest type, in which test cases are designed and reviewed by the team, before executing it.
Automated Testing: This applies automation in the testing, which can be applied to various parts of a software process such as test case management, executing test cases, defect management, and reporting of the bugs/defects. The bug life cycle helps the tester in deciding how to log a bug and also guides the developer to decide on the priority of the bug depending upon the severity of logging it. Software testing to log a bug, explains the contents of a bug that is to be fixed. This can be done with the help of various bug tracking tools such as Bugzilla and defect tracking management tools like the Test Director.
Software testing life cycle is the process that explains the flow of the tests that are to be carried on each product. The V- Model i.e Verification and Validation Model is a perfect model which is used in the improvement of the software project. This model contains software development life cycle on one side and software testing life cycle on the other hand side. The checklists for software tester sets a baseline that guides him to carry on the day-to-day activities.
Black Box Testing: It explains the process of giving the input to the system and checking the output, without considering how the system generates the output. It is also known as Behavioral Testing.
Functional Testing: The software is tested for the functional requirements. This checks whether the application is behaving according to the specification.
Performance Testing: This testing checks whether the system is performing properly, according to the user's requirements. Performance testing depends upon the Load and Stress Testing, that is internally or externally applied to the system.
Load Testing: In this type of performance testing, the system is raised beyond the limits in order to check the performance of the system when higher loads are applied.
Stress Testing: In this type of performance testing, the system is tested beyond the normal expectations or operational capacity.
Usability Testing: This is also known as 'Testing for User Friendliness'. It checks the ease of use of an application.
Regression Testing: Regression testing is one of the most important types of testing, which checks whether a small change in any component of the application affects the unchanged components or not. This is done by re-executing the previous versions of the application.
Smoke Testing: It is used to check the testability of the application, and is also called 'Build Verification Testing or Link Testing'. That means, it checks whether the application is ready for further testing and working, without dealing with the finer details.
Sanity Testing: Sanity testing checks for the behavior of the system. This is also called Narrow Regression Testing.
Parallel Testing: Parallel testing is done by comparing results from two different systems like old vs new or manual vs automated.
Recovery Testing: Recovery testing is very necessary to check how fast the system is able to recover against any hardware failure, catastrophic problems or any type of system crash.
Installation Testing: This type of software testing identifies the ways in which installation procedure leads to incorrect results.
Compatibility Testing: Compatibility testing determines if an application under supported configurations performs as expected, with various combinations of hardware and software packages.
Configuration Testing: This testing is done to test for compatibility issues. It determines minimal and optimal configuration of hardware and software, and determines the effect of adding or modifying resources such as memory, disk drives, and CPU.
Compliance Testing: This checks whether the system was developed in accordance with standards, procedures, and guidelines.
Error-Handling Testing: This determines the ability of the system to properly process erroneous transactions.
Manual-Support Testing: This type of software testing is an interface between people and application system.
Inter-Systems Testing: This method is an interface between two or more application systems.
Exploratory Testing: Exploratory testing is similar to ad-hoc testing, and is performed to explore the software features.
Volume Testing: This testing is done when huge amount of data is processed through the application.
Scenario Testing: Scenario testing provides a more realistic and meaningful combination of functions, rather than artificial combinations that are obtained through domain or combinatorial test design.
User Interface Testing: This type of testing is performed to check, how user-friendly the application is. The user should be able to use the application, without any assistance by the system personnel.
System Testing: This testing conducted on a complete, integrated system, to evaluate the system's compliance with the specified requirements. This is done to check if the system meets its functional and non-functional requirements and is also intended to test beyond the bounds defined in the software / hardware requirement specifications.
User Acceptance Testing: Acceptance testing is performed to verify that the product is acceptable to the customer and if it's fulfilling the specified requirements of that customer. This testing includes Alpha and Beta testing.
Alpha Testing: Alpha testing is performed at the developer's site by the customer in a closed environment. This is done after the system testing.
Beta Testing: This is done at the customer's site by the customer in the open environment. The presence of the developer, while performing these tests, is not mandatory. This is considered to be the last step in the software development life cycle as the product is almost ready.
White Box Testing: It is the process of giving the input to the system and checking, how the system processes the input to generate the output. It is mandatory for a tester to have the knowledge of the source code.
Unit Testing: Unit testing is done at the developer's site to check whether a particular piece / unit of code is working fine. It tests the unit of the program as a whole.
Static and Dynamic Analysis: In static analysis, it is required to go through the code in order to find out any possible defect in the code. Whereas, in dynamic analysis, the code is executed and analyzed for the output.
Statement Coverage: It assures that the code is executed in such a way that every statement of the application is executed at least once.
Decision Coverage: This helps in making decision by executing the application, at least once to judge whether it results in true or false.
Condition Coverage: In this type of software testing, each and every condition is executed by making it true and false, in each of the ways, at least once.
Path Coverage: Each and every path within the code is executed at least once to get a full path coverage, which is one of the important parts of the white box testing.
Integration Testing: Integration testing is performed when various modules are integrated with each other to form a sub-system or a system. This mostly focuses in the design and construction of the software architecture. This is further classified into Bottom-Up Integration and Top-Down Integration testing.
Bottom-Up Integration Testing: Here the lowest level components are tested first and then the testing of higher level components is done using 'Drivers'. The entire process is repeated till the time all the higher level components are tested.
Top-Down Integration Testing: This is totally opposite to bottom-up approach, as it tests the top level modules and the branch of the modules are tested step by step using 'Stubs', until the related module comes to an end.
Security Testing: Testing that confirms, how well a system protects itself against unauthorized internal or external, or willful damage of code; means security testing of the system. Security testing assures that the program is accessed by the authorized personnel only.
Mutation Testing: In mutation testing, the application is tested for the code that was modified after fixing a particular bug/defect.
These methods show you the output, and helps you check if the software satisfies the requirement of the customers. Software testing is indeed a vast subject and one can make a successful carrier in this field.

As LGBT Pride approaches, Alice Saville asks why London's glut of queer theatre is looking to the past, not the future.
Hir, Bush Theatre. Photo: Tristram Kenton.
This month there’s a modest glut of LGBT theatre: marking both Pride and 50 years since the decriminalisation of male homosexual acts. But ironically for an industry that people cheerfully say is “run by gays”, the shows on offer don’t suggest that the theatre world is wildly clued up on LGBT+ or queer politics.
Both the National Theatre and the Old Vic are dispatching their duties towards Pride season by staging a series of plays, called Queer Theatre and Queers respectively. Perfect, you might think. Queer is an inclusive umbrella term, a reclaimed insult which is now used to refer to all sexual and gender minority groups. Time to include lots of them. Um, nope. Mark Gatiss introduces Queers as “a marvellous opportunity to celebrate LGBT life and culture” – to which end, seven male writers and one heterosexual women are writing exclusively about gay men’s stories. The National Theatre is doing a little better: one play out of the six that appear in Queer Theatre is a story about women, by a woman. But that still leaves five that tell gay men’s stories. Across both collections, all writers but one are white.
It’s not just a Pride season problem, either. Vauxhall venue Above The Stag describes itself as an LGBT theatre. But the rainbow flag on its logo is a pretty empty gesture towards diversity – beside a token fairy godmother at panto season, there’s no room for women in its line up. And its show for Pride season, He Shoots! He Scores! has a cast that look so alike they could have shared a womb. Quite recently, too.
As well as being dominated and defined by white men’s stories, the glut of gay theatre is also overwhelmingly backward-looking. Alongside revivals of gay classics like Angels in America or The Boys in the Band, there are the new monologues about 20th century gay history in Queers, or more recent musicals like Miss Nightingale and Yank! The Musical that look back to ’40s Hollywood. Ideas of gayness are defined by a 20th century narrative of self-loathing, secrecy and persecution giving way to struggle and victory – ideas which have been endlessly chewed over, made digestible by mainstream culture.
Gay theatre in Britain has an intriguing, storied history, stretching from Shakespearean cross-dressing to 18th century dandies to panto to camp cabaret, and it’s one that’s worth celebrating – as is the landmark decriminalisation of male homosexual acts.
But just because homosexual acts in women were never banned, it doesn’t mean they didn’t carry huge social stigma and risk. Society has historically defined women entirely by their attractiveness to and relationships with men, creating a hugely pervasive invisibility around queer women. The old myth that they didn’t ban lesbianism because no one wanted to explain it to Queen Victoria has a truthful ring to it. Whether it’s straight, bi or gay, female sexuality is something that society’s still uneasy with, 100-odd years later.
This year’s celebrations have largely left this more thoroughly hidden history out, along with the past two decades of queer thought: they don’t acknowledge the battle for acceptance of trans and variant gender identities, and the (admittedly modest) progress towards an intersectional understanding of race and queerness. These ideas are tough. They’re hard to sing. But they’re hugely important, because telling the same old stories about gay identity reinforces a narrative of cultural invisibility that hides the stories of queer women, people of colour, and trans people.
There are plenty of complex reasons why stories about white gay men thrive in the West End, while others from the wider LGBT spectrum don’t. Perhaps gay men appeal to the mainstream in a way that, say, butch women don’t. Perhaps groups that aren’t white gay men have less disposable cash to spend on theatre. Perhaps the stories of queer people of colour are a minority within a minority, seen as ‘issues’ not entertainment. Or perhaps it goes back to the writers: it could be that people who already tick one minority box are reluctant to pigeonhole themselves further by writing about their sexuality/gender? I’m going to stop speculating now, because the simplest reason I can think of is that there’s a legacy of sexism and racial inequality, structural and implicit, that makes it much easier for white male playwrights to thrive, and to write openly about their sexuality.
Jon Brittain has used his visibility within the gay theatre scene to direct attention to queer women and trans stories – and he does so brilliantly in Rotterdam. It’s a magnificent anomaly: a sensitive, hilarious glimpse into a relationship that evolves as one partner comes out as trans.

Taylor Mac also uses a platform built through groundbreaking cabaret performances to tell new stories: less successfully so. Hir should be a beacon of new thinking. But weirdly, it feels like a vision of queerness that’s seen through straight eyes. Its main character is a straight man who vomits whenever anything particularly queer happens, and his revulsion taints the utopian ideas that Mac’s script bandies about, or turns them into polysyllabic punchlines. It’s a play that anyone even slightly homophobic could go into and laugh, painlessly, throughout, their prejudices confirmed. It’s a play that makes queerness complex, burdensome, and dangerous to an average family which it imagines don’t have the emotional resources to grapple with it.
They do, of course. But Hir’s lack of faith in the goodness, the expansiveness of its characters mirrors a wider lack of faith on the part of the theatre industry in audiences’ abilities to handle queer stories that don’t fit the buff white boy-on-boy mould.
These stories are left to the slimmest margins of the theatre world, and even when they are successful they don’t get the afterlives they deserve: Mojisola Adebayo’s Mohammed Ali and Me ran in local boxing rings, not the Bush Theatre, Lucy J Skilbeck’s rare feat of drag king history Joan had a short run at Ovalhouse, not a high-profile transfer. Camden People’s Theatre is running Come As You Are season of queer experimental performances, too, where a fascinating array of new works will get an airing. But without the muscle of a Mark Gatiss behind them, they won’t reach more than a few hundred people: and unlike Queers, they definitely won’t get on the BBC anytime soon.
Debates on gender, on who we love and how we love them, are some of the most interesting conversations happening right now. The joys of Tumblr (and social media more generally) mean that ideas of queerness, intersectionality, and gender fluidity are becoming second nature to younger people, while older generations are left behind. Theatre could and should be a place to explore them. And its gatekeepers could do so much more: by taking risks, actively looking for new stories, and by only using the term LGBTQ if they’re going to explore more than one letter of it. Because right now, it feels like the theatre industry is only interested in queer stories when they’re calcified, couched in familiar language and legitimised by the warm glow of retrospective tolerance.
As the furore over Pride’s hugely tone-deaf posters shows, there’s an appetite for new narratives: ones that don’t centre straight audience’s comfort. Let’s start telling them.

The latest round of enhancements to DivData Review have been released. Read about these changes below.
See the Help & Training page to learn more about the new features, find answers to specific questions, or sign up for in-person training labs.
The chair signoff and checklist certification are now one step. The chair’s certification of the Checklist to Assure Fairness has been consolidated into Chair Signoff (DP-74). This means that the Chair is now taken directly to file contents, and can first look for a candidate response to the recommendation, review the checklist report and other file contents, and take appropriate action if/as needed. In those cases where a chair needs to include a separate chair’s letter, they now upload it on Dossier tab prior to review signoff. (No change in access to the letter.) Their certification of the checklist is added to the report at the time they sign off on the Review file.
We’ve revised the descriptions of available system actions when auditing candidate file submissions in Dept/Unit Accept (DP-35), in an effort to make the choices clearer to review managers.
Review managers can now move a file back to Dept/Unit Add Materials (DP40) without creating a new pass, up to the point at which a department recommendation has been made. The Checkpoint: Candidate Review of Added Materials continues to be part of the process as appropriate. A new pass will still be required to request and/or add additional materials once the department recommendation has been made. In the event the department wishes to make a formal request for additional information during Dept/Unit Faculty Review (DP-60), the review manager or chair adds the request as a Dept/Unit Letter, then moves the file forward to the Prep for Candidate Review(DP-65) state. The review manager then selects Request Additional Information, at which time a new pass will be created.
The Checklist to Assure Fairness report now includes release dates. Beginning with this update, the system will include in checklist reports the dates on which reviews are initiated and when materials and recommendations are released to candidates.
The department recommendation is now captured earlier, and includes the opportunity to confirm or update review settings. The recommendation entry screen, on which review managers enter data related to the department recommendation and confirm review settings information, now appears at the time a review manager moves a file out of Dept/Unit Faculty Review (DP60). There is still the opportunity for a final check, and updating if needed, before forwarding the file to the division. In addition to allowing department managers to do a final check of the file, this supports reviews where the chair moves the file forward at the time of department recommendation. Senate Review Type is now required to send the file to the division.
Added automated email acknowledgements and helpful text for External Reviewers. Brief instructions for reviewing the materials and uploading their recommendation are now included on the main screen. (The detailed help page is still available as well.) External reviewers will also receive an automated 'thank you' email acknowledging their participation. Related to the external reviewer’s acknowledgment email, review managers, chairs and lead reviewers will now receive notifications when external letters are added to a file.
"Regularization" has been added as a review type. It is typically used in conjunction with Reappointment and/or Merit review types of those in Acting Titles for reasons other than visa or degree status.* If an exceptional case warrants, it can be used on its own.
Miscellaneous minor enhancements and bug fixes: One of the more notable bug fixes resolves an issue in which the use of an apostrophe in course evaluation survey response options (e.g. having “I don’t know” as a selectable option) prevented those graphs from displaying correctly.

They did it with help from a complicit and corrupt elite media which dutifully branded anyone who disagreed with the progressive agenda as a racist bigot.
Average hard-working Americans are mad as hell and the elites have no idea how deep that anger goes.
What I find most surprising today is that the insiders and the elite have no idea what is percolating just beneath the surface. Okay, maybe their arrogance actually produces its own fog, so it should not come as a surprise that they are blinded. They do not look at the calendar, which, if one really looks, says “1788” on it. Something is close. Very close. Society is near the breaking point.
My own experience is that Hillary’s so-called Deplorables are actually the most reserved, most polite, and most honest demographic in the country. They are more informed, more self-reliant, and among other things, better armed. Regarding their arms, they are incredibly responsible, and not the source of the violence for which the implement, and not the person, is too often blamed. The Deplorables have the longest fuse. It is, however, a fuse.
Alt Left, on the other hand, are the Neo Fascists and Neo Neocons. It is Alt Left that thinks Free Speech means THEIR speech only. It is Alt Left that needs ‘safe spaces’ and wants to enforce thought crime.
The Deplorables, however, are not possessed of infinite patience. Like a capacitor, there is a charge building, and at some point it will be released into the circuitry of society.
The media and other insiders believe themselves to be immune. That thought no doubt results from being immersed inside a cocoon where dissonant voices are not allowed. When the levee breaks, or the capacitor releases its charge, they are going to be gob smacked.
This election is more important than any in years.
We need Trump to go to Washington and clean house.

People come back to Linguaphone time and time again because they know they’ll get a quality language course based on a proven method that gives guaranteed results. Trust Linguaphone to help you achieve your dream of speaking French.
Linguaphone French Complete is a suitable course for anyone who wants to learn French for the purpose of real-life communication, whatever their special interests may be.
This very comprehensive course is spread over three levels; Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. English instructions are provided on the first five audio sections of the course to help you gain confidence in your language-learning ability. As you progress through the course the level of English support decreases and you begin to work more and more in the new target language. It’s an enjoyable, yet highly effective way of learning French.
The full-colour course content presents all the key language and grammar, as well as providing objectives, instructions, commentary and explanations in French to support and motivate the learner.
This format integrates the course books and audio and allows the user to read the course books on screen and listen to the audio at the same time. It’s very user friendly and a relaxing way to learn French using a range of modern devices. You can download the course to your computer, tablet or mobile device. If you prefer not to store the course on your device, you can also log-in and access the course on any device with an internet connection. The course will automatically fit the size of your screen and there are a range of useful functions to assist your progress e.g. page turner, zoom, print, bookmark, search, etc. Suitable for all PC’s, Apple Mac, Apple and Android tablets and Smart phones. Your secure course log-in and password will be sent soon after you complete your purchase.
This French language course is suitable for beginners as no previous knowledge of the French language is necessary. It’s also a popular choice for students who may have learned some French in the past and want to refresh and improve.
The course covers Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels in the French language . It’s important to remember that a Linguaphone French course does not simply teach you handy words and phrases. The course is designed to teach you how the language works and how to use it effectively in multiple real life situations. So whether it’s for work or pleasure, Linguaphone will give you the confidence to speak French freely and with flair.
A word of advice in choosing any language course; don’t worry too much about just learning vocabulary and phrases, if that’s all you want, just buy a phrasebook. If you really want to know how to speak French, how to freely express your thoughts and feelings, how to comfortably understand native French speakers and how to call yourself a French Speaker – then choose Linguaphone. It’s like having your own private tutor, at home.
Speaking French is an active skill - something you learn by doing, not just studying. This is the practical approach taken by Linguaphone to language learning. You will start to speak French during the very first lesson. The course begins simply, building your confidence session by session. Soon after, longer sentences are introduced to enable the expression of more detailed and complex thoughts. But the course always concentrates on useful, authentic everyday words and situations. The result is that, after completing a Linguaphone Complete French course, you will have a thorough understanding of the French language and be able to converse with and understand real people speaking the language.
Listening to native French speakers is the most relaxing and involved way to learn, helping you associate the sounds you hear with the words and sentences you read. The native French speakers in this course begin by speaking slowly (but without distorting the intonation of the language) and, as the course progresses, speak at normal speed.
By listening and reading the language, you begin to discover what each word means. Everyday objects have exciting new names. Gradually words, then phrases, become clear and your reading, writing and speaking of the French language will improve.
Many people find that speaking their new language is the hardest part. But Linguaphone's method makes sure that you start speaking French from the very first lesson with the correct pronunciation. Imitating the voices of the native French speakers on the course will help you get used to the intonation and accent. Later on in the course, you will have the opportunity to take part in conversations. Each lesson introduces new themes featuring useful French words and phrases thus developing your conversational skills and confidence.

Q) Why choose a surge-protected baluns with TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressors)?
A) The majority of all surge-induced damage is caused by surges and spikes traveling along unprotected video, data and power lines. These surges originate from a wide variety of sources, including static charge buildup and lightning strikes. Left unprotected, video and data lines expose cameras, digital video recorders, network video storage devices, monitors, A/V components, and other network equipment to damaging electrical transients.
Lightning is the most common source of electrical disturbance to telecommunication lines. There are 865,000 lightning strikes each day worldwide. Our surge-protected baluns are designed to prevent excess voltage from damaging components on a CCTV video system. Although surge-protected baluns will aid in minimizing the spread of damage caused from a lightning strike, be advised that there is only limited protection: 2000 volts (passive) to 4000 volts (grounded active). A direct hit from a lightning bolt will incinerate practically anything.
Q) What distances can be used for passive balun pairs and active balun pairs?

He watched, nursing his left arm, cradling it with his right. A few days before he’d smashed it during a football match. The game was played in a rainstorm. They lost. It was the first game his team Los Hurricanes had lost in ten years. The night before the game he got drunk with friends. He spoke on the phone with his wife when he got back to the hotel from the morgue; he didn’t tell her what had happened.
Violence has become so commonplace in Honduras that it’s become the norm rather than the exception.
For years the social classes of Honduras have lived in two worlds where those with money retreated behind concrete walls with armed guards, and those who don’t live amongst Las Maras who killed indiscriminately. In 2009 a coup d’état set off a surge of violence that’s touched everyone. Tellingly, when the Honduran military staged the coup, America looked the other way.
It’s no surprise that the country imploded. Former President José Manuel Zelaya was ousted while attempting to change presidential term limits and beginning to enact reforms that would examine land sales from poor farmers to rich land barons. The topic has split the country in two political camps, where right wing capitalists lean toward a less equitable society and leftists use the assassinations that surround land rights squabbles as fuel for their increasingly Chavista movement. Today 60 percent of Hondurans live in poverty.
“Success” in Mexico has pushed trafficking through Honduras. Three quarters of all U.S. bound cocaine now passes through Honduras. The US has reacted by placing three operating bases there, in addition to its air base, to practice drug interdiction.
The tiny country of 8 million is the world’s most violent country. Gangs control entire cities. Campesinos war with corporate funded paramilitary groups in the east. Warring cartels massacre entire villages in La Mosquita. In the capital Tegucigalpa violence has become more sporadic and faceless. Random crime has increased. Car jacking, robberies, and assaults are a daily occurrence. San Pedro Sula, the country’s industrial center, sees an average of 19 murders a day.
The shoot out between police and an extortionist that killed Ortiz’s son was only a roadblock in the day’s activities. Hours later as flies gathered on the extortionist’s body, merchants walked through the crime scene, at times without even turning to look at the dead man laying facedown on the sidewalk.
The normalcy of violence in current Honduran society is extremely troubling and yet it is understandable. As a journalist who has covered violence for five years, there is something unnerving in its consistency. The lack of coverage Honduras receives is astounding, particularly for a country considered one of America’s last friends in Latin America.
And yet despite the violence, life goes on. Teenagers build a skatepark in Mara territory. Psychedelic bands play in Tegucigalpa. Moneyed Hondurans shop in the country’s malls. Tourists flock to Honduras’ islands and resorts. American missionaries build schools. The circus performs in San Pedro.
My interest in Honduras started nearly seven years ago when I found a Honduran woman laying under a mesquite in South Texas. She’d been separated from her group and was lost out there. She’d been walking for three months. The rancher told me to back away from her because she was sick while he dialed the Border Patrol. She begged me to help her, but I didn’t know how I could. I was already a journalist. My uncle had been in prison for trafficking. I thought to myself, “What kind of place would drive someone to come all this way risk death here in this desert?” Seven years later a friend and I took our savings and finally went. What we found was as beautiful as it was terrifying.
Honduras is one of the most under reported stories of our time. Those stories that are done often ignore the root causes: deep political rifts that mimic those of earlier Central American wars, widespread poverty, extreme gloves off capitalism, private foreign interest, and the extreme corruption it produces. Aqui Vivimos explores these ideas and looks at daily life, the contrast between beauty and horror, and the often-surreal landscapes, and personalities it produces.
