WEB200 » Creating Tints & Shades in Illustrator
Tints & Shades are a fabulous way to expand your two or three color palette into an extensive array of colors. They will allow you to create much more depth in your web design.
This tutorial will walk you through creating Tints & Shades using Adobe Illustrator (CS3):
Download: Extending Your Color Palette with Tints & Shades | Premium Design Works
Step One: Importing Your Colors
Let's say a company gives you their logo as an Illustrator vector file.
In this file, let's say they have designated their Pantone colors:
If they have used Pantone colors in their logo, you should find them in the swatches palette:
This swatch palette can then be imported into another Illustrator document that you can create your Tints & Shades from.
Let's start by creating a new Illustrator document:
Now that you have created a new document, you can open the logo file as a swatch palette.
You do this by going to Window > Swatch Libraries > Other Library:
You will then be asked to select a library to open. Choose your logo file:
You should now see your logo file opened up as a new swatch palette:
Step Two: Customizing Your Palette
If you are at all like me, you find the default colors in the swatches palette to be annoying to look at all of the time.
What I typically do is delete all of the unused colors from my palette so I can find the ones I am using with ease.
To delete the unused colors from your swatches palette you need to "Select All Unused" from the palette's option menu:
Then "Delete Swatches" to remove them:
You should now have a clean swatches palette to start working from:
You can then import your colors from your logo file to your Tints & Shades file by simply clicking and dragging them over:
Once you have moved your Pantone colors into your swatches palette, you may need to convert them from CMYK to RGB.
Simply double click on the swatch to open the Swatch Options.
Once the Swatch Options is open, change the Color Mode to RGB:
Once you have done this you should see the RGB icon next to your colors in your swatches palette:
NOTE: Since we are working in the web environment we should change all of our swatches to RGB mode.
Step Three: Making your Tints & Shades
Let's make some Tints & Shades!
First, you will need to make ten squares for each color in your palette:
Now that you you have done that, open the color palette by choosing Window > Color.
When you open the color palette, select a swatch from your library.
You will notice that if your color is a spot color, you will see a slider that can adjust percentages of a color:
Type in a new value of 80% into the slider. Then drag the color to your swatches palette:
With that done, you can select one of your squares and change it to the new 80% tint:
You can then repeat these steps for the values of 60%, 40% and 20% to create the rest of your tints:
To create our first shade, we will need to go back to our color palette. But, this time we will need to add some black to the color.
To do so, choose CMYK from the options menu in the color palette:
Then, change the black or "K" slider to 20% and drag that color to your swatches palette:
Unfortunately, Illustrator does not rename the new tone swatch very well.
To keep things organized, let's rename the swatch to a more logical name:
You can now select a square to create your first 20% black shade:
Repeat these steps to create your 40%, 60% and 80% black shades.
You can then repeat these steps to create tints and shades for all of your colors:
Congratulations! You have just learned how to expand your color palette using Tints & Shades!

I was happy to see that your site was the first search result of 157,000 (even before Adobe) for my "how to make tints in illustrator" search. SEO MASTER!
Yay, thank you, love this tute, so helpful!!!
I wish to have tint panel. Drudgery effort so! Hear me Adobe!
Thank you so much. Your tutorial helped me a lot.
thanks but i dont understand on how to add colour in tint and shade enlighten me more becos we gave as an assignment.
Premium Design Works has informed me that there is in fact a updated way to create colour tints. So here is the Adobe page for all those stumbling on this page looking for easier tints: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/color-groups-harmonies.html
Thanks for that PDW!
Thanks for the info.
Achieving tints like this was so super easy in Microsoft Freehand. It literally happened at the click of a button. But for Adobe Illustrator it is quite a tedious process. I find this very strange for such a modern application.
This tutorial is superb. Its exactly what i was searching for.:D
this tutorial is super. It was exactly what i was searching for.:D

i apretiate the how to a lot
Thank you this was helpful… Now I wonder if there is an easier way for CS5
There is!
Illustrator CS5 has a tool called Color Guide that does tint and shades for you. Open it under the window menu.
Not sure if CS3 has it too but just thought I'd throw that little tid-bit out there since you asked.
The problem with Adobe color guide is that it's not precise enough with Shades. I want better control over how it shades a color. Let me decide what percentage of shade to give.
I like this tutorial, it will help me, but I certainly wish there was a more dynamic way to handle shading.

I know everything isn't about looks but in my experience looks matter a lot. I know I'm unattractive and I wish I wasn't. I can see that I get treated differently from attractive people not just by girls but by people in general and it makes me feel like shit. I get depressed sometimes because of it and I used to self harm because of it (almost a month of no self harm). Its very hard for me to deal with it because my family values looks and attractiveness a lot and they resent me because I don't have a lot of friends and don't talk to a lot of girls in particular? How do you guys and girls deal with it?
Most Helpful Girl
I feel the same. But doesn't everyone? Isn't every single person in this shallow world insecure about something? (Mainly looks) This world, even if they never say so, is based on looks, status, money, etc. Never judge a book by its cover? What a joke. First impression=mainly looks. But you know, now that I think about it, it really doesn't matter. People may judge you, but you know how they say people only do that because THEY have insecurities. What I do is I might not be the most attractive person on Earth, but I can try to be BETTER. Yknow.. taking care of myself, working out, dressing nice, smiling, studying, have a better personality, etc. Would like this kind of person, or someone stuck up just because they're attractive? You don't think you're attractive? Then make yourself better little by little to the point where you go "hey I might not have a good looking face, but im fit, healthy, educated, rich, and happy." Now THATS the kind of person I would want to be around. Who cares if they aren't a Calvin Cleins model? Love yourself. Be happy. Surround yourself with friends and people that don't judge you based on looks but who you are. Because they're out there. People treat you badly? Smile! No one can be mean to a smiling, sweet, happy person. Unless they're jealous. Have a little faith in yourself. :) And remember, there's always someone that feels like you. you're not the only one and you're not alone.00|00|0
Oh my. I sound so cheesy (ugh) but it's true!

Apparently it's not the media's job to inform anymore but to incite. It's not about reporting the facts anymore, it's about how to get as many pageviews and clickthroughs as possible and the best way to do that is to piss people off. For example, take an article from the Seattle Times about Seattle Pacific University shooter Aaron Ybarra.
The headline from the article is "SPU shooting suspect once had AK-47, 7 other firearms at home". The article constantly mentions that Ybarra's family owned the guns but not him. The article also goes on to state that the guns in question were stolen from the home and none of the guns mentioned were the one that Ybarra used when he killed SPU student Paul Lee.
The article also obsesses over the fact that one of the guns owned by the Ybarra family was an AK-47. I don't know why the AK-47 keeps getting demonized just because it's one of the most mass-produced guns in the entire world. It's the Toyota Camry of guns. It is no more or less deadly than any other gun but for some reason the media has this obsession over the AK-47.
What really gets me is that while the article obsesses over guns that had no part whatsoever in the SPU shooting it totally buries the lede in the article.
Aaron Ybarra and his family members kept eight firearms in a safe at their Mountlake Terrace home, even though Ybarra had been hospitalized in 2010 after hearing the voice of Columbine killer Eric Harris telling him to hurt people, documents say.
Emphasis mine.
So let's blame the shooting on guns and not the fact that he's a psychotic mutant.
While I consider myself to be a centrist on the issue of guns, having guns in the house is not like having some kind of radioactive element in the house that infects everybody with wanting to kill disease by being exposed to it.

I love your brain. I wish you had a world stage. I doubt it would matter, though, as those who want to rant on the unimportant, still would.↓
And garner the most attention unfortunately.↓
And they remain silent on the thousands of law abiding citizens who defend themselves with a gun every day. Too bad someone didn't have a gun handy do deal with Ybarra.↓

And when you ask him about it, he tells you that he feels alone unloved and unwanted. That he's felt like this since he was a teen.
I'm not asking what you would do or what you would tell him. I'm asking, what would you think of him and how would you feel after learning this?
Most Helpful Girl
My feelings for him, platonic or romantic, wouldn't change, but I would be sad to hear he feels that way. I do actually have a friend like this and I admit that I sort of dote on him. I would also feel a lot of empathy. As someone with clinical depression, I cry at night sometimes too. For other reasons, but still. I also might be a little more on the defense and protective of him, but not in a patronizing way.10|10|0
your friend is lucky as can be to have a friend like you. good luck to the both of you.
Most Helpful Guy
I'd think he was a pussy, not even, those are actually quite tough. I'd think that I can't let him venture off alone too long or else he might off himself.10|12|1

Letter from the Principal
Welcome to Candler School! We are excited for the 2016-17 school year and what we will accomplish together. It's great to see returning students and meet our new students. We have an exciting year of learning ahead of us, and I can't wait to get started.
This handbook contains important information regarding our school and school rules as well as important Board of Education policies. I hope that you find it a helpful resource.
Candler Elementary is a wonderful school with a family atmosphere that strives to provide quality academic instruction in a nurturing and safe environment. This year, we continue our quest to be Candler CATS, showing Caring, positive Attitude, Teamwork and Self-control at all times…even when no one is watching. Our school is a special place because of our school family members…the students, parents, staff and community partners. We desire the best for all students and look forward to partnering with parents and community members to help our students be their best. Students…bring with you each day your positive attitude and willingness to work hard. Our teachers will be prepared to teach you and help you grow as students and young people. Parents…thank you in advance for making sure your children are present and on time each day. Talk to your children about their day, encourage them, and support them in their education. I encourage you to be involved as much as you can and to communicate often with your child's teacher. Together, we can accomplish great things!
At CES, we start each day with a promise that says who we are and what we are about at Candler School. We affirm daily that we are focused on learning and that we will be positive and caring people. In this environment with our commitment to one another, we can accomplish more collectively than we could have done independently. I'm glad that you are part of the Candler family, and I know that each boy and girl will have a great school year.
Stephen D. Chandler, Principal

Italian Kielbasa and Vegetables
Recipe by spreadnjoy
Very tastey one dish meal that I found in a magazine a few years ago.
Top Review by Charlotte J
WOW this was great and easy to make! When I put this in the oven to bake I stirred it after 25 minutes. Then after I added the olive oil I stirred it again and returned to the oven for the last 10 minutes of baking time. I doubled the recipe and it was a good thing that I did as there was not much left over. So since I did this I added 3 minutes to the cooking of the vegetables for a total of 6 minutes. Spreadnjoy, thank you so much for posting this recipe, I'll be making it often.

About the Book
This is the second album in the Dream Canvas series of abstract fine art photography images.
The images look like paintings but they originated as photos of ordinary things and were then altered by various digital tools to enhance the inherent graphical elements in the motives. Often a part of the image was copied onto itself after enlargement and rotated and blended partly. The colours and tonality were changed as well to produce a new story within the image.
Like paintings you get most from these pictures if you study them carefully. There is no hidden message in there. But if you stop analysing and use your imagination you will find some interesting visual stories.

Cytec Industries Inc. (Woodland Park, N.J., USA) announced on April 21 that its Engineered Materials business had signed a contract extension, covering the period from 2016 to 2020, with Lockheed Martin (Ft. Worth, Texas, USA) for the supply of high-performance, structural composite and adhesive materials used in the manufacture of the multinational F-35 Lightning II program, or Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
Cytec expects the contract extension to generate revenues of approximately $1.1 billion. The stealthy F-35 is a supersonic, multi-role fifth-generation fighter designed to replace AV-8B Harriers, A-10s, F-16s, F/A-18 Hornets and United Kingdom Harrier GR.7s and Sea Harriers. The JSF is approximately 42 percent composite by weight.
Cytec supplies more than 50 products to the JSF program including CYCOM 5250-4, a bismaleimide (BMI) prepreg system known for performance-enhancing capability at high temperatures; CYCOM 977-3, a toughened epoxy resin prepreg system; and FM 309-1, a lightning strike protection surfacing film.
"Building on our long history of success on military programs such as the F/A-18E/F & G, F-22, C-17 and Global Hawk, Cytec's scientists and engineers worked closely with Lockheed Martin and its subcontractors to develop engineered material solutions to meet the JSF program's extremely demanding requirements," said Bill Wood, president of Cytec's Engineered Materials business unit. "Through a collaborative approach, these solutions have been optimized to provide the right balance of performance and affordability. Cytec innovations are among several technologies enabling the exponential leap in fighter aircraft capabilities."

Humans are well able to operate tools whereby their hand movement is linked, via a kinematic transformation, to a spatially distant object moving in a separate plane of motion. An everyday example is controlling a cursor on a computer monitor. Despite these separate reference frames, the perceived positions of the hand and the object were found to be biased towards each other. We propose that this perceptual attraction is based on the principles by which the brain integrates redundant sensory information of single objects or events, known as optimal multisensory integration. That is, (1) sensory information about the hand and the tool are weighted according to their relative reliability (i.e., inverse variances), and (2) the unisensory reliabilities sum up in the integrated estimate. We assessed whether perceptual attraction is consistent with optimal multisensory integration model predictions. We used an everyday tool-use task - controlling a cursor on a computer monitor - and manipulated the relative reliability of the unisensory hand and cursor position estimates. The perceptual biases shifted according to these relative reliabilities, with an additional bias due to contextual factors that were present in Experiment 1 but not in Experiment 2. The biased position judgments' variances were, however, systematically larger than the predicted optimal variances. Our findings suggest that the perceptual attraction in tool-use results from a reliability-based weighting mechanism similar to optimal multisensory integration, but that certain boundary conditions for optimality might not be satisfied.

How to Make Bottle Top Toppers
(Image credit: me)
This little how-to is for making a pom-pom style paper gift topper.
You Will Need:
* Metallic foil paper, crepe paper, tissue paper or any thin paper which drapes (i.e. not stiff at all)
* A screw-on bottle top off a pop/soda bottle
* Superglue
* Double-sided tape
* Scissors
* Scrap paper (optional)
- First, cut a rectangle out of your paper. This rectangle may differ slightly depending on the paper used and the effect you would like, but I would suggest a height of between 3" and 4", and a length of approx 24". If you don't have paper that is long enough, cut rectangle shapes out of multiple pieces of paper until the total length is enough.
- Cut along one edge of the rectangle(s) in parallel lines, leaving between 1/2" and 1" uncut on the opposite side. This will make fringed paper. To make this step quicker you can fold the rectangles in half a few times before you cut the slits, so that each time you cut you go through a few layers of paper at a time rather than cutting each strip individually.
- When you've done the fringing on all of the rectangles (or just the one) then you can test to make sure that it will fit OK in the bottle top. Simply roll it up and see. If there's not enough you can cut another rectangle out, and if there's too much you can cut a section of fringing off.
- Apply double sided tape or a small amount of superglue (shown in gray on the diagram) to the non-fringed section of one rectangle. Roll it up quite tightly. Tape would be a less messy method.
- If you have other rectangles, apply tape or a thin layer of glue as before and wrap them around the previous roll of paper, carrying on from where the paper ended. There's no need to overlap.
- Put some glue around the bottom of the fringed roll and in the bottle top. Hold the fringed top of the roll together so that it doesn't get in the way, and then push the base into the bottle cap. If it's too loose to balance when you let go then you can glue a bit of scrap paper into the bottle top around the outside of the roll if you wish. Then leave it to dry.
- Simply apply double-sided tape to the bottom of the bottle top to stick it onto a wrapped present.
- That's it!
Metallic Foil Paper Pack
This set of foil papers contains 36 squares measuring 5 7/8" across, in 10 different metallic colors which all look beautiful. These sheets would be ideal for the project above as well as other gift wrap ideas.
The package even includes instructions for making various origami creations, which would look cute on gifts too!

The second video (different angle):
The first and so far only intelligent comment [lang:DE]:
Ein Zeugnis geistiger Verkrustung – by Michelle Binswanger
Going international:
boingboing: Life imitates art: Swiss police brutally crack down on squatters who inhabit fake "art favela"
nerdcore: Kunst-Favela auf der Art Basel von Riot-Cops gestürmt
artinfo: Clash at Art Basel: Police Forcibly Evict Protestors from Tadashi Kawamata's Art Favela
dangerous minds: Swiss Police tear-gas, brutalize and fire rubber bullets at protesters
And meanwhile in Bern:
The cops have released 93 photos of 48 people online, from the photos their actions are not obvious, but these are supposed to be some of the looters from a few weeks ago during Tanz dich frei and the ensuing riots. The photos were released unpixellated, some of them were even made available for download. The cops are asking the population for help to identify the suspects. Within not even 24 hours 3 suspected rioters have been identified (now 4 in just over 24 hours). This is in gross violation of privacy rights and challenging the legal principle of presumed innocence. The release of these photos might have huge repercussions in some of the individuals lives, incite overreactions from employers, parents or others. But beyond that, cops using the internet in such a way is very risky, because it encourages vigilante style behavior, it will lead to citizens behaving like cops starting to control and snitch on each other and in this manner overstepping their rights. After the riots the cops in Bern were incensed against Facebook for allowing the organizers of Tanz dich frei to remain anonymous. What the cops are doing now is a much more reckless method of trying to exploit the internet and its supposed anonymity.

BBQ Beef Sandwiches
Recipe by johnvac52
This is a great recipe to throw together and have on hand during football season. Excellent halftime food.
Top Review by amy.cleaveland
I use a very similar recipe for this dish, but mine omits the veggies and has 2c water instead of 1c. The meat comes out amazingly tasty & tender every time. I use it for beef, chicken, and pork, and my husband loves it! The other day I cooked pork chops in the sauce for a couple hours, then served those for dinner; I tossed several chicken breasts into the remaining sauce and got to freeze a meal or two of pulled chicken sandwiches. Thanks for posting!

The same way that Marvel has Dark Avengers, DC does the same and their team is call Justice League Dark. While it is a darker incarnation of the team, what sets them apart from most others is that they are centered around the use of magic. This was something that drew my attention to the team immediately and I was not disappointed once for making that decision.
Justice League Dark is a branch of the Justice League dedicated to dealing with mystical and supernatural threats. Its founding members include Deadman, John Constantine, Madame Xanadu, Shade the Changing Man and Zatanna. Madame Xanadu first organizes the group called Justice League Dark when she foresees a terrible future only they can prevent. The team is comprised of
Andrew Bennett(gone), Deadman, Constantine, Zatanna, and Orchid from left to right though Madame Xanadu is not in the image.
What I like about this book is that it's surrounded by mystery, not only just the characters but every situation they come to face. They each also have their own agenda that keeps them together no matter how the odds are against them. None of them are obviously heroes, but in this book that is the role each of them take to reach their personal goals.
In their most recent storyline Constantine is sent to track down another magician named Faust who holds the map to The Books of Magic. Constantine is told A.R.G.U.S. calls the team Justice League Dark. He is lured into taking this mission by being told that he'd be allowed into The Black Room for 5 minutes when the mission is completed. Constantine had trouble getting the group on board. So he reveals to Zatanna that he say a picture of The Black Room that Trevor showed him and he saw her fathers hat and stage outfit. Told her that he would recover them for her if she can get the group to go to The Amazon with him. They defeated Faust(villain) and retrieve the map to The Books of Magic(objective). Constantine takes the map and the team to The House Of Mystery. Constantine tells the team he won the keys to the House in a poker game from Father Time and Doctor Occult. After securing the books he tells Xanadu no person should take possession of the Books because they are too strong. He whispers the name of Timothy Hunter, who is pure enough to possess The Books before the vision ends. That's all I can say without ruining the story.
This is one of those books you want to read if you're not into the typical superhero niches.

There's no question that American society is becoming more secular, and it's understandable why leaders of the LDS church (and other churches) are concerned that our legal system and social structures will place less value on the practice of religion than they have in the past. As someone who believes in freedom of expression for people of all faiths (or none), I share those concerns.
I would hope that in promoting the cause of religious liberty that the church would present the issues at hand in a truthful manner worthy of emulation by all sides. Sadly, the church's Newsroom fails to meet that standard in its latest foray into the issue, an article called Other Examples of Attacks on Religious Conscience and Free Exercise. Not only does the article get some major facts wrong, it also is misleading by leaving key facts out or describing events inaccurately. I'm not in a position to say whether the false directions the article takes were intentional — I certainly hope not — but, regardless, the misdirection to readers isn't helpful to the cause. Most importantly, as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormons"), this use of tactics that appear less than honest makes me sad.
The article lists five examples of court cases described as attacks on religious freedoms and includes brief comments on their significance. I'll briefly explain the problems with each of those examples.
Employment Example 1: The article says: "A Baptist-affiliated organization that places at-risk children in adoption or foster care terminated an employee because her admitted homosexual lifestyle was contrary to the organization's core values. Accusing the organization of sexual orientation discrimination, she brought a federal lawsuit that the organization is still defending against more than a decade later. … Businesses that publicly operate according to religious beliefs should have the freedom to hire based on religious criteria they deem necessary to ensure that the working environment is supportive of those beliefs."
The article's description of the dispute (Pedreira v. Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children, Inc.) is correct as far as it goes. What is left out is that the child-services institution received a substantial amount of its revenue from taxpayers, about $12.5 million per year from the state of Kentucky. Certainly, there's no question, at least to me, that a sectarian institution fully funded by a church and/or private donations should be able to set hiring policies informed by the church's beliefs. But it's a different matter when taxpayers are footing the bill.
Employment Example 2: The article says: "A New York City restaurant was ordered to pay $1.6 million to a lesbian chef and manager for allegedly discriminating based on sexual orientation and religion because the restaurant held weekly prayer meetings and the owner expressed the view that homosexual conduct is sinful."
The best that can be said is that the description of the case (Salemi v. Gloria's Tribeca, Inc.) substantially understates what the jury found, even though it was instructed that "[d]discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or religion must be beyond what is considered petty slights and trivial inconveniences."
According to the appeals court, "[t]he record evidence, which is extensive and corroborated by multiple witnesses, amply supports the jury's verdict that, in violation of the New York City Human Rights Law (City HRL), plaintiff's employer, defendant Edward Globokar, the principal of Gloria's Tribecamex Inc., which owned the restaurant where plaintiff worked as chef and manager, discriminated against her based on her religion and sexual orientation by, amongst other things, holding weekly prayer meetings at the restaurant where plaintiff worked which the staff viewed as mandatory, fearing that they would lose their jobs if they did not attend, repeatedly stating that homosexuality is 'a sin,' and that 'gay people' were 'going to go to hell' and generally subjecting her to an incessant barrage of offensive anti-homosexual invective." Is that really the kind of employer "religious freedom" we want to be defending?
Employment Example 3: The article says: "A Minnesota health club, owned by Evangelical Christians and operated in light of biblical principles, was ordered by the Minnesota Supreme Court in 1985 to stop hiring only employees who shared their religious beliefs in order to comply with state nondiscrimination laws."
I doubt whether anyone in the Newsroom even read this case (Blanding v. Sports & Health Club, Inc.), which didn't have anything to do with employment discrimination. The case involved whether the health club could, in effect, apply different standards of conduct for gay members than it did for its straight members. And even if this were an employment case, do we really want to be arguing that it's OK for a nonreligious business to hire only evangelical Christians?
Housing Example 1: The article says: "A private Jewish university in New York City was sued by a lesbian couple for its policy of reserving its married student housing for male-female couples. The state's highest court ruled that the university's policy could be challenged as violating the city's ordinance barring housing discrimination based on sexual orientation. … Religious schools should have the freedom to establish values-based regulations for student housing, including regulations separating male and female housing and protecting values of privacy, modesty and sexual morality."
I can't disagree that religious schools should be free to base policies regarding school-owned housing on their religious standards. But is that what this case (Levin v. Yeshiva Univ.) was about? Apparently not. The school conceded from the outset that its housing was subject to city antidiscrimination law. And, according to the appeals court, "All parties agree that Yeshiva's religious affiliations have no bearing on this appeal. Also, plaintiffs did not plead claims based on either the State or Federal Constitution."
It also should be noted that while the court did indeed rule that the school's policy could be challenged, the lesbian plaintiffs' challenge was not successful.
Housing Example 2: The article says: "In 1996 the California Supreme Court ruled that a devout Presbyterian widow with traditional Christian morals violated state law when she desired to rent one of her properties only to couples who are married. The court explained that the widow could avoid compromising her religious beliefs by getting out of the rental business altogether. … Small landlords and landlords renting units closely associated with their family living arrangements should have the freedom to determine who will occupy such units."
The description of the case (Smith v. Fair Employment & Housing Com.) is technically accurate. But the wording here would suggest to the average reader that this widow's property was "closely associated with [her] living arrangements." The article's author apparently wants readers to believe that this situation was something like that of a person who wants to rent out an apartment in her basement and doesn't want the tenant unduly influencing her children. But that was not the case here. The widow did not live on the premises and visited the buildings only for purposes of maintenance and operations. By any legal standard, she was operating a typical, although small, housing business.
Final comment: It should be obvious by now that the results of these cases don't portend the type of constitutional doomsday scenario that the Newsroom apparently wants us to think they do. As such, they're not helpful to the debate over religious liberties. These accounts may even be counterproductive in that their implicit dishonesty presents the Church in less than a positive light.

|This article is a stub.
|Not all information has been covered about this subject. You can help by expanding it!
- This article is about the panda from Kung Fu Panda 3. For the Legends of Awesomeness character, see Bao (pig).
Bao is a young giant panda who resides in the secret panda village. He is a character that made his first appearance in the film, Kung Fu Panda 3. He is voiced by Steele Gagnon.[1]
In Kung Fu Panda 3
Bao is one of several pandas that Po meets when he and his father travel to the hidden panda hideout.[2]
Bao is very energetic, playful, mischievous, and hyperactive. He can also be rather curious and outspoken, asking Po why he ate with chopsticks instead of his paws, and questioning Mr. Ping's goose features as opposed to that of a panda's. He is also very good at continuously keeping toys in midair by bouncing them off his feet, similarly to kicking a soccer ball.
Fighting style
Bao has been seen in an image making a kung fu pose with Po, though it is currently unknown if he will actually learn it. During the invasion of the Panda village, Bao kicks some fire crackers at jombies.
Po is his master. At first, Bao was a little confused at some of Po's mannerisms and why he couldn't do things that seemed normal for Pandas like rolling or eating with his hands instead of chopsticks. Despite this, the two seem to get along as Po was shown playing with Bao and his friends and later trained Bao how to fight.
Bao wears a brown vest with carpet-like tufts, which appears similar to Li's vest. He also wears a green belt, gray pants, and a small red hat.
- In Chinese, "bao" has several meanings, including "precious"[3] (traditional Chinese: 寶?; simplified Chinese: 宝; pinyin: bǎo), which is also the meaning of Po's name.
- Bao's name in the Chinese version of Kung Fu Panda 3 is 泡泡[4] (pinyin: pàopào), which literally means "bubbles".[5]
- In Kung Fu Panda 3, Bao and the other panda kids play Ti Jianzi (traditional and simplified Chinese: 踢毽子?; pinyin: tī jianzi), which involves keeping a shuttlecock (also called a featherball) in the air by using any body part apart from your hands.

Haiti in the 1970's...
Between 1957 and 1986, when the Duvaliers ruled Haiti, the political persecution caused a lot of Haitians to move to other countries.
By Kiara Perrault
In the years between the 1957's and 1986's, there was a guy named François Duvalier and he ruled Haiti. He was known as Papa Doc and he was very mean and cruel. When Papa Doc was ruling, his government was terrible, his policies really affected the people of Haiti, and the events led a lot of people to leaven Haiti.
Papa Doc and his son had a bad government when they were president. In the families 30 years of power, they stole approximately $900 million from the Haitian state. The impact this had on Haiti was they lost a lot of money therefore becoming poor. A quote from countrystudies.us states "Manufacturing became the most dynamic sector in Haiti during the 1970's as the country's abundant supply of low-cost labor stimulated the growth of assembly operations." This quote is telling us that when they were running low on supplies, the population would decrease.More evidence is in Wikipedia it says "His rule, based on a purged military, a rural militia known as the Tonton Macoute, and the use of a personality cult and voodoo, resulted in the murder of an estimated 30,000 Haitians and the exile of many more." Papa Doc was a very selfish and cruel man.
Their policies really affected the people of Haiti. In Wikipedia it says "Duvalier employed intimidation, repression and patronage to supplant the old mulatto elites with a new elite of his own making. Corruption — in the form of government rake-offs of industries, bribery, extortion of domestic businesses, and stolen government funds — enriched the dictator's closest supporters." People weren't very happy with the choices Papa Doc made. The effects usually made they probably poor because they lost their jobs.
A lot of people left Haiti and moved to New York, Miami, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia. According to the article Haiti-Migration, it says "An estimated 1 million people left Haiti between 1957 and 1982." This quote tells me that since a bunch of people were leaving in that time period it should have been for a certain reason and since it was around the time that the Duvalier's were president, i can infer this was why they left.
In Conclusion, Papa Doc and Baby Doc had a really bad affect on Haiti. Haitians really hated Papa Doc. At one point they tried to overthrow Duvalier. Papa Doc's government was frightful, his rules had a major impact on the people of Haiti, and a lot of people started to flee Haiti.
When Franois Duvalier died of natural causes in 1971, his 19 year old son Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, took his place. The effect this caused was having Haiti still be under their power so they still didn't fully have their freedom. According to telegraph.co.uk website, it states "The country was asked to endorse Jean-Claude as his heir, and in 1971 Haitians approved his selection with a vote of 2,391,916 to one." This quote shows that the Haitians said that baby doc should replace his father and inherit his possessions which includes being the president.

Different Identity Groups and Identity People in the State of Israel? (11 January 2017, 14 Tevet, 5777 re-edited 23 February
1. Brit-Am
2. Ephraim Frank
3. Hanock Young
4. Tomar Devorah
5. Ovadiah Abrahami (Fred de Casse)
(a) Ovadiah
(b) Quote from a Rabbi associated with Kol HaTor: Disillusioned with Ephraimite Leaders.
6. Rabbi Avraham Feld
7. Messiah son of Joseph and Christianity?
8. Stephen Spykerman. Plagiarization
9. Other Groups
10. Nehemiah Gordon
11. Is Brit-Am Still Alone in the Field?
1. Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations
Brit-Am was intended to be comprised of an association of Jews and non-Jews working together on behalf of the Ten Tribes and Judah.
The History of Brit-Am
That surprisingly enough is what we have. Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is directed by Yair Davidiy.
Yair endeavors to live as an Orthodox Jew preferring an Ultra-Orthodox lifestyle and attitude.
This gives us significant advantages as well as sometimes being a cause of antagonism.
Most Jewish sympathizers in Israel are similarly inclined but tend more towards the National Religious camp which often overlaps with Modern Orthodox.
Most non-Jewish supporters of Brit-Am dwell outside of Israel.
Most of our members overseas are non-Jewish believers in the Bible mainly Christian.
This is a strange mixture but it works.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations concentrates on trying to research and spread the message of Israelite Ancestry while emphasizing ultimate Re-Union at the end of the road.
The Three Rs:
Research, Recognition, Reconciliation.
Since Brit-Am started up decades ago:
We were the first group compatible with Judaism that recognized the Lost Ten Tribes being among western peoples.
This definition in a sense STILL APPLIES!
Others HOWEVER have since come along. Some of the newcomers were already active in other, though related, fields so for them it was just a change of emphasis.
Others joined us at the beginning but then left or broke away for greener pastures.
Brit-Am /Hebrew Nations despite everything is still, in our humble unbiased opinion, the best by far there is but the "alternatives" may still be worth knowing about.
Competition is not necessarily negative. It keeps us on our toes and may well widen the field enhancing the ability to propagate of us all.
Nevertheless nothing is perfect.
The remarks below are based on what we are aware of but it may well be lacking as an overall description.
Here are the others that we know about:
2. Ephraim Frank
Ephraim lives in Israel. Together, with his wife Ramona, Ephraim seems to mainly minister to Christians living in Israel. He has a following overseas.
Ephraim was once part of Brit-Am but led a break-away section dedicated to what he calls "Joseph."
They seem to have been quite succesful.
Ephraim differed with Brit-Am over the issue of religious rapport, Brit-Am rejection of conspiracy theories, and administrative matters.
Ephraim however does have a genuine long-lasting interest in Brit-Am type considerations.
Ephraim believes he may be of Jewish descent. His wife, Ramona (who is influential in his movement) is Jewish, and the children of Ephraim served in the IDF.
Along with Hanock Young (see below) and others, they recently held a Congress of their own in the city of Ariel.
B'ney Yosef National Congress
3. Hanock Young
Hanock Young is closely associated with Ephraim Frank.
Hanock Young, originally from Canada, now lives in Samaria, Israel. He works as a travel guide. Hanock identifies with Ephraimites considering them as the Lost Ten Tribes. An Observant Orthodox Jew of the National Religious stream, Hanock is quite popular and has been associated with Ephraimites for years. He has also read part of our literature and that of others. He is quite read up though he might not emphasize it. Hanock usually works in partnership with known Christian ministers. He has an emotional "emplacement" approach.
Brit-Am Now no. 2639. Ten Tribes Studies
#3. The Ten Tribes Scene - a Brief Overview
Hanock has been criticized for unwarranted over-commitment by Tomar Deborah (see below).
4. Tomar Devorah
Tomar Deborah was once associated with Ephraimite types but now is against them. She identifies with the right wing more extreme branch of the Jewish Orthodox National Religious and is active on the Web.
Her web-sites may be worth looking at occasionally and some of her claims looked into.
Nevertheless anything she says needs to be verified from other sources before being accepted.
5. Ovadiah Abrahami (Fred de Casse)
(a) Ovadiah
Ovadiah for years was an active Christian Preacher on the net. He founded an organization with Avraham Feld known as "Kol HaTor" and another organization with Steven Spykerman called "Commonwealth of Israel" (COI). [The name "Kol HaTor" ("Voice of the Turtledove") is derived from the title of a book which has some significance in Ten Tribe studies. Brit-Am in our work "Joseph" was the first to bring this to public attention. Our book "Joseph" is still the only source explaining this point.]
Ovadiah is from South Africa.
Ovadiah believes that all Christians should become Jews but still believe in the Christian Messiah as he understands him to be.
He says that the messiah (past and present in his view) is the Deity.
Ovadiah opines that the Ten Tribes are in all the world.
Despite apparent ideological differences Ovadiah also works with people (such as Stephen Spykerman, and Rabbi Feld, see below) who believe the Ten Tribes are in the west.
He wants to populate Israel with non-Jews who adhere to some degree or otherwise convert to Judaism. This is fair enough in itself but the motif is not clear.
Obadiah is critical of the conservative attitude towards conversions taken by the Israeli Rabbinate though he also has said that: "I applaud it for the preservation of Halachic Torah." .
Ovadiah has followers from all over the world including strong contingents from South Africa, Germany, and the Chinese community in Malaysia. He is backed by a Chritian organization in South Africa wishing to fund outreach towards the Jews.
Ovadiah recently organized a Conference in Jerusalem which was well attended.
Brit-Am writings have been plagiarized by one of the followers of Ovadiah (see Stephen Spykerman below). Ovadiah takes a protective stance in this matter over his consociate, Spykerman. Obadiah himself takes a liberal condoning attitude towards plagiarism in general. He freely admits to having been accused of plagiarism himself in his own field and claims that it is justified.
6. Rabbi Avraham Feld
Rabbi Avraham Feld received his ordination [semicha] from Yeshivah University in New York.
Avraham is involved in numerous other fields that sometimes overlap into his "Identity" activities.
For example he runs a social welfare organization (The Maccabee Institute), fights cults, helps people, and runs an Assistance in Conversion to Judaism program.
Rabbi Avraham does not convert Gentiles but rather prepares them to approach the Rabbinate.
A Gentile who wishes to convert might do well to consult with Avraham. It could save much time and aggravation.
If necessary Rabbi Avraham would probably render assistance for free BUT he does this without outside funding so they who can pay something should do so.
Rabbi Avraham was once associated with Brit-Am but we parted ways long ago. See:
Relations are now correct BUT NO MORE THAN THAT!
In our opinion the MAIN POINT AT PRESENT should be clarifying what the Bible does say, identifying the Lost Ten Tribes with Western Peoples, and confirming this identification.
Despite our differences of approach etc, Brit-Am in the public interest recently published a book by Rabbi Feld,
"Little Sister. The Oral Law and the Need for it in Understanding Scripture" .
We published this work due to its intrinsic value and despite fundamental differences of opinion between us.
We also still have books and articles of Avraham Feld on our web-site.
Rabbi Feld however is NOT to be considered as associated in any way with Brit-Am.
We are quite separate.
Rabbi Feld is employed by Obadiah and has worked with him for quite some time.
Rabbi Feld believes (like Brit-Am) the Ten Tribes are mainly among western peoples. He however does NOT emphasize this principle as Brit-Am does. Everyone should, he seems to say, preferably all convert to Judaism and they who cannot should become Bnei Noachites.
When we asked Rabbi Feld if he does not mind serving a possible Christian agenda, through association with Obadiah and Kol HaTor, he replied that everyone who knows him is aware he would not do such a thing.
7. Messiah son of Joseph and Christianity?
The Kol HaTor people have co-authored a book concerning the Jewish origins of Christianity:
"Jewish Secrets Hidden in the New Testament," by Rabbi Avraham feld and Ovadyah Avrahami.
This work identifies the Christian Messiah with an aspect of Messiah son of Joseph. They discuss this matter at some length but do not seem to adduce any sources though the idea has been broached in Christian circles (including Catholic ones) for decades. Brit-Am disagrees with this.
For the Brit-Am Appreciation of the Messiah son of Joseph see:
MBJ Queries. The Problem with Moshiach ben Yoseph
Brit-Am seems to have been the first to propose that Christianity will be a recognizable trait of the Ten Tribes in the End Times. See: "Christianity as an Identifying Sign."
Brit-Am, unlike Kol HaTor, DOES NOT consider Christianity as an aspect of Messiah son of Joseph but rather (in anything) as the positive side of Esau. Esau (Edom) is the twin brother of Israel. At present both the Ten Tribes and Judah as in Edomite Bondage. In the End Times a portion of Esau will be antithetically opposed to Israel but another section will help the Israelites and Judah, at least at the beginning. Eventuallty however Joseph will war against Esau.
This theme concerning the reformed aspect of Esau in the End Times has been developed by Rabbi Mendel Kessin, see:
TRUMP AS AMERICAN 'MESSIAH?' RABBI SAYS YES by LEO HOHMANN
Kessin connects Esav throughout history to Edom, Rome, Christianity, Western civilization and, ultimately, to the United States.
'At the end of days, the rabbi contends that the sins of Esav will be removed and Esav will become God-fearing,' writes Rivkah Lambert Adler for Breaking Israel News. 'Esav has in Jewish tradition been associated with oppressing, persecuting and afflicting the Jews, but at the end of days he will undergo a fundamental change in his character.'
Rather than harming Jews, Esav will turn toward serving the Jews, assisting them in doing God's will in the form of mitzvot (biblical commandments), Adler reports. 'As a result, Esav will be rehabilitated and earn a place in the world to come.'
8. Stephen Spykerman
Stephen Spykerman is originally from the Netherlands. He is now based in Britain but works with Ovadiah Abrahami (see above). He refers to himself as a Messianic Jew since he believes his mother (though a Christian) was of Jewish descent.
Stephen now works closely with Obadiah.
Stephen has written works of his own and done some research as well as borrowing from others.
He was once close to Brit-Am though he later boycotted us. Letters and articles from Stephen may still be found on our web-sites.
Yair Davidiy accuses Stephen Spykerman of plagiarizing lock, stock, and barrel ("cut and past") whole chapters of one of the publications of Brit-Am.
The relevant lengthy extracts have been taken verbatim from our work. He does not refer to us as his source.
The work with plagiarized material by Spykerman taken from us also includes other material of his own or taken from others. His book has a strong Christian content, spurious passages on Conspiracy, and other matters that are incorrect and very offensive to us. This make the misappropriation of our writings even more reprehensible.
If we wished to sue we probably could since our works are covered by US Copyright and also registered in the Israel National Library at Jerusalem. The options are still open.
9. Other Groups
In addition to the above there exist individuals and groups who find the Lost Ten Tribes in different places: Examples include the Palestinian Arabs; the Afghans and Pathans in Pakistan and Afghanistan; tribes in India and Burma; the Black peoples of Africa; the Chinese, the Japanese; the Gypsies; the Basques in Spain; etc.
All these other claims in our opinion are false.
10. Nehemiah Gordon
NG calls himself a Karaite.
He provides a framework for critics of the Rabbis to pretend they are in the right though actually they are not so.
Quite a few Ephraimites support Nehemiah. Most of his support comes from Christians.
Nehemiah is against the Jewish Religion.
Without the Jewish Religion however there would not be any Jews. We suspect supporters of Nehemiah of having anti-Jewish and anti-Biblical motives.
A central teaching of Gordon concerns the Holy Name. Apart from the ideology the facts he quotes are either incorrect or misleading. We have several articles on this matter, see:
The Holy Name of God
11. Is Brit-Am Still Alone in the Field?
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is the ONLY organization in Israel that emphasizes the PHYSICAL DESCENT of core groups among Western Peoples as descended from the Lost Ten Tribes.
All the others tend to put more stress on spiritual and emotional identifying
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is at present the ONLY prominent organization in the Land of Israel identifying the Lost Ten Tribes with Western peoples.
The other groups may in some cases (e.g. Feld, Spykerman) personally believe the Lost Tribes to be found among Western nations but they head, or belong to, organizations that emphasize Emotional Emplacement, rather than Physical Descent.
These other personages and groups thay claim to emphasize the religious aspect more seem to rely on the BIBLE MUCH LESS than we do.

Experience shows that linking up with other groups does not necessarily help us. It may only serve to confuse the issue of ancestral identification with other matters.
Nevertheless we do not obviate the possibility of alliances in the future.
