How to create a fantasy photomanipulation in Photoshop
This tutorial will show you how to combine some stock images in Photoshop to create a fantasy photomanipulation. We will play in particular with colors, mask and adjustment layers.
Fantasy is one of my favourite topic in graphic design. We can create a world in 2500×3500 pixels. This tutorial, for example, was initially created with the intention of teaching how to create outstanding landscapes with adjustment layers. Then I accidentally came accross the image of a nice kid, and I decided to turn all the tutorial into a surreal land with a castle and a flying horse. Hope you enjoy it!
Preview of the final result:
Support Material:
Step 1
Open the landscape image in Photoshop
Step 2
Duplicate the layer and switch the layer blend mode to overlay with opacity 40%. Then merge the 2 layers in a new layer (shift+alt+ctrl+E). Now I want to enhance the details of the image, so I need the high-pass filter. With the last created layer selected, go to Filter>Other>High Pass… and choose a radius of 3 px. Set this layer to overlay.
Step 3
Paste in the image of the castle. Softly erase around the castle to remove the background. You don't need to be too much accurate.
Step 4
Create a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation) and set the saturation to -100. Now we have a grayscale image. Remember that, from now on, this layer has to remain at the top of all the other layers, so that all the images we will insert will be in grayscale (the adjustment layer affects all the layers below).
Notice that the blu around the castle's edges has disappeared. Now it's a soft gray perfectly merged with the background.
Step 5
At this point I decided the castle has to be wrapped by clouds. So with the clouds brushes start painting to create a more mystic scene. Use more than one layer and, once you've finished, group all the layers (order is important while working on complex projects).
Step 6
Open the image of the kid. We have to extract it. Use the pen tool for this purpose. Don't be too much accurate around the hair, we will fix them later. Copy and paste the kid in our document. Place it behind the castle and flip him horizontal (Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal).
Step 7
Zoom on the kid's head. Select the smudge tool and set 1px for the brush settings, darken for mode and 70% for strength. Now start painting as if you'd like to paint kid's hair. Look at the screenshot for a reference.
Step 8
It's time to add more details. Paste in the moon image and set the layer to screen.
Step 9
Insert the birds. I used a free vector that can be downloaded from the freebies section of the GoMedia Arsenal.
Step 10
Extract Pegasus using the pen tool, paste it into the document and resize it (ctrl+T)
Step 11
Duplicate Pegasus layer and move it below. Now I want to give a sense of movement, so I apply the motion blur filter (Filter>Blur>Motion Blur). Settings are shown in the screenshot:
Step 12
Create a new layer above the Pegasus' one. Ctrl+click on Pegasus layer to select its pixels, set black as foreground color and click alt+delete to fill the selection with black.
Step 13
Press ctrl+D to deselect. Now with the erase tool start eliminating parts of Pegasus silhouette (use a brush with hardness 0%) so that some details will appear.
Step 14
Create a new layer. Set black and white as foregound and background colors. Go to Filter>Render>Clouds. Switch the layer blend mode to screen (black will disappear). Reduce the opacity to around 25% and remove unwanted parts with the erase tool.
Step 15
At this point I want to show you how I organized my layers. As discussed in a previous step, order helps you to have more control on the creative process.
Step 16
Lets start adding colors. At the top of all the layers create a gradient map (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Gradient Map). I chose a gradient from a dark purple (#65066e) to a lighter one (#e6d1e7). Set the layer to overlay with opacity 50%.
Step 17
Create a curves adjustment layer to make everything darker.
Step 18
Paste in the old paper texture. Duplicate it, and hide the duplicated layer for the moment. With the crop tool select the area of the paper texture and press enter.
Step 19
With the pen tool select the 2 visible pages of the book. Press ctrl+enter to activate the selection. Now click on the "add layer mask button" below the layer's window. Titled this layer "paper1″.
Step 20
Make visible the other paper layer, title it "paper 2″ and select it. Ctrl+click on the mask of the paper1 layer and press alt+add layer mask button. Lets analize the last 2 layers created: paper 1 are the 2 pages visible, while paper2 is the contour (the 2 pages are masked).
Step 21
Select the paper1 layer and set the blending mode to overlay with opacity 70%.
Step 22
Select the paper2 layer. Press ctrl+U to open the saturation window and set saturation to -50. Now go to Image>Adjustment>Brightness/Contrast and set brightness to -20. Finished! And this is the result:

Hope everyone is ok. Today I have a card for the challenge A Spoon Full of Sugar . This week it is a sketch by the fabulously talented Nikki. I have loved working with this Nikki so thank you so much. I have coloured my image with distress inks. I have distressed my background with dried marigold, spiced marmalade, and mustard seed. My flowers I have sprayed with gold glimmer mist. For the spacers in the centre of the flowers I have used gold alcohol ink as the spacers were silver and I wanted to match the gold star.
I have been given this award from the sweet Gisela and the lovely Mandi. Thank you so much girls you are so very kind to think of me.

Illinois Supreme Court strikes down state "eavesdropping" law
Thursday, Mar 20, 2014
* Tribune…
* Via the American Civil LIberties Union of Illinois, here's a press release sent out by Ms. Melongo's lawyers….
I've said it before and I'll say it again, overall, we have a very good Supreme Court in this state. The statute in question is ridiculously unconstitutional. And the fact that Ms. Melongo served almost two years behind bars because of an over-zealous Cook County State's Attorney is totally unconscionable. And State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's appeal defied all standards of decency and common sense.

During his 20 years in the I.T. industry, Chad has seen companies suffer the same I.T. challenges over and over again. After his own personal epiphany trying to teach programming to designers, he began to wonder if all of those challenges couldn't be solved through communication and a change of perspective.
The Tech Savvy / User Friendly philosophy was born from this thought. After a year of field testing these principles at his last job and watching the positive impact they had, he is bringing his philosophy to others.
When implemented in a company, the Tech Savvy / User Friendly philosophy strives to reach three goals:
- Increase efficiency
- Improve morale
- Earn and save more money
Chad presents his Tech Savvy / User Friendly philosophy in an entertaining and engaging presentation including his signature hands-on Origami Rocket™ exercise.
As either a keynote speaker at your technology conference or guest speaker in your organization, Chad will provide you with specific, easily implemented concepts you can measure.
For Ground Control team members, the key points include:
- Ditch the Technobabble
- The Value of Face to Face
- Teaching vs. Doing
- Listen. Really listen!
For Astronauts, the advice focuses on:
- The Tech is More Afraid of You…
- "Can You Be More Specific?" Yes You Can!
- The Dangers of Playing 'Whack-a-Mole' on Your Computer

One in ten Lyrics
Artist: UB40
Album: Live
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody Knows me
Even though I`m always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I`m the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I`m the child that never learns to read
`Cause no-one spared the time
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I`m a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I`m a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I`m another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I`m a house wife hooked on Valium
I`m a Pensioner alone
I`m a cancer ridden spectre
Covering the earth
I`m another hungry baby
I`m an accident of birth.
I am the one in ten .... etc

We then extract the water from the clean rug and hang them to air dry.
Our rug cleaning process is certainly unique, not to mention the close attention we pay and quality care, We even include free pickup and delivery service!
Drawing on our years of experience, we offer appraisals that can protect your investment by satisfying insurance companies and alert you to your carpet's true value if you're planning on selling.

Spate of killings roils Mission District
SAN FRANCISCO Police, community mobilize in wake of 6 deaths in 2 weeks
Two friends who had tried to escape troubled lives by finding work at Goodwill Industries were shot and killed late Thursday on the edge of San Francisco's Mission District, the latest spasm of violence in an area where six people have been slain in the past two weeks.
Police announced several measures Friday to respond to the violence, including adding foot and car patrols to Mission District streets and deploying more gang task force members to the neighborhood. Community groups active in the Mission said they would also be working to head off what they feared could be more violence this weekend.

The slain men were with a woman at 24th and Utah streets about 9:45 p.m. Thursday when two men walked up and opened fire, hitting all three, police said. The gunmen got into a waiting minivan that drove east on 24th Street, investigators said.
The shooting happened a couple of doors down 24th Street from where one of the victims, 19-year-old Noel Espinoza, lived. Goodwill said the other slain man was his co-worker Matthew Solomon, 23, of San Francisco. The woman, a 22-year-old San Francisco resident whose name was withheld, is expected to survive.
The double slaying happened about 3 1/2 hours after someone opened fire on a man and a woman sitting in a car with a 4-month-old girl in the backseat at 18th and Bryant streets, police said. The two adults were seriously wounded, but the child was not hit.
Police did not release descriptions of the attackers in either shooting or details of the investigations.
Community members believe both incidents were gang-related, with the second shooting a retaliation for the first one, said Santiago Ruiz, executive director of Mission Neighborhood Centers, who has led violence prevention efforts for more than three decades.
"In the last four weeks, the level of violence has been unprecedented," said Ruiz, who for the first time canceled his agency's after-school program Friday for fear of violence. "It's sad to see this total disregard for life. Not knowing who might be walking by, it raises a certain amount of fear."
Police step up patrols
Authorities said they would take several steps in response to the violence, including increasing beat patrols along Mission Street, adding cars to parts of the Mission and Ingleside neighborhoods and doubling the number of school resource officers at Mission High School.
"The violence in the Mission is unacceptable," Police Chief Heather Fong said at a news conference. "People involved in gang and drug activity have no regard for the community."
The slain men worked at Goodwill's store and processing center at Mission and Van Ness Avenue and were friends, said chief executive officer Deborah Alvarez-Rodriguez. She praised them as "exemplary employees who had really turned their lives around."
Solomon had been featured as employee of the month in a recent company newsletter and Espinoza was scheduled to receive the same honor in the next issue, she said.
In the publication, both men said they had been in trouble with authorities and that their work at Goodwill had helped them find new directions.
"I did a lot of things in the past that got me into trouble," Solomon said. "When I came to Goodwill in August 2007 I was on parole, homeless and hardly involved with my two children. I was like a part-time father that wandered in and out of their lives."
'Helped me become a man'
Solomon said his work at Goodwill had "helped me become a man and provide for my two sons, Jayvion and Makai."
Espinoza, in his newsletter interview, said he had been referred to Goodwill after being arrested for selling drugs. Under a program for first-time offenders, the charges against Espinoza would have been dropped if he completed a year of work, training and community service.
"Now I see that I'm capable of much more than selling drugs on the street," Espinoza said.
Hours after the shootings, Mission District parents and community leaders started reaching out to youths at risk of being caught up in a cycle of retributive violence.
Near where Espinoza and Solomon were shot, a group of young people, some heavily tattooed, kept vigil beside a makeshift shrine.
An older woman drove up, got out of her car and approached the group urgently.
'Don't take revenge'
"I come to you as a mother. Please listen to me," Marta Gonzalez said in Spanish as she passed out flyers calling for peace in the neighborhood. "I have a son, too, just like you. Please, I implore you, don't take revenge. "
Gonzalez said she was a friend of Espinoza's mother and that she was heartbroken when she heard of his killing. She decided to circulate the flyers on her way to work.
"It's the mothers who suffer," said Gonzalez, who said she has two sons, ages 18 and 20. "There's this rivalry between the Latinos who were born here and the kids born (in Mexico and Central America). It's a stupid war. They need to put down the guns and pick up a book and a pencil."
Her flyer called on parents to wear white shirts and gather for a peace rally at noon Sunday at 24th and Mission streets.
A few doors down from the shrine, in a darkened upstairs flat, Marta Espinoza sobbed at the death of her son. She was comforted by her sister and other relatives.
"All the family is coming to be together," Espinoza said. She said she couldn't say more. "It's too fresh, too new," she said.
Groups take to streets
Across the Mission, community organizations that work with teenagers - from Instituto Familiar de la Raza to Arriba Juntos - planned an intensive effort to try to interrupt the violence.
"The weekend's coming, and as we speak, outreach workers are out there trying to increase the peace," said Ana Pérez, executive director of the Central American Resource Center. "Community organizers will be walking the streets at night. We'll be taking kids to the movies, making sure they have something peaceful to do."
Alvarez-Rodriguez said Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties has been hit particularly hard by recent violence. In the past two years, she said, 10 of its employees and counseling clients have been killed in shootings.
"This is a huge blow," she said. "So many of these young men and women live in neighborhoods where violence is happening. I wish to God it wasn't happening, but this is their home."
Recent Mission District killings
Six people have been shot to death in the Mission District since Aug. 22. No arrests have been made in the killings.
-- Samuel Mitchell, 47, killed Aug. 22 at 26th and Folsom streets.
-- Jorge Hurtado, 18, shot and killed Aug. 24 at Treat Avenue and 23rd Street.
-- Marcelino Canul-Castro, 24, fatally shot Monday at San Carlos and 18th streets.
-- Mark Guardado, 46, president of the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels, killed Tuesday near 24th Street and Treat Avenue. Police speculate that a member of a rival motorcycle group may have been responsible.
-- Noel Espinoza, 19, and Matthew Solomon, 23, killed Thursday night near Espinoza's home on 24th Street at Utah Street.

The show, Kvällstoppen, aired the first time on July 10, 1962.
Just like Tio i Topp (Top Ten), it was Swedish Radio's answer to the pirate radio stations that quickly became popular in the early 60's. See also our page on Tio i Topp.
The first host was Klas Burling, who also produced the radio show. He was later replaced by other well-known Swedish radio voices, like Rune Hallberg, Kersti Adams-Ray and Kiki Engerstedt.
The music chart consisted of the top twenty best-selling records in Sweden. Figures were based on sales data from a number of record stores. In the beginning, only about 44 record stores contributed with their sales, but the number of stores was later increased to 360.
In the late sixties, when Long Play albums starting selling more than singles, they also found their way into the charts. September 22, 1969, Kvällstoppen was split into two charts. LP albums had their own list (LP toppen) and the remainder of the regular chart was reduced to top 15. Unfortunately, LP albums could end up on both lists, making this separation superfluous. Swedish radio returned to the old system after one year. On September 29, 1970, only one list was presented, containing the 20 most sold records in Sweden (both albums and singles).
In 1974, when the basic idea of the program was questioned on ideological grounds. As a result, a part of the list was presented in a random order. A year later, in late summer of 1975, the show was cancelled. The last program was aired on August 19, 1975.
A short period in the 70s, Kvällstoppen was replaced by Skivspegeln, but the new show did not have the same impact. After only three years, this show was also discontinued. One of the reasons behind was that public radio should not promote or report the sale of a particular product (like music records).
All the way from 1962 until 1975, the radio show had the same theme song, "The Stripper" by David Rose's orchestra.

A traffic signal scheduled to have been turned on last week at New England Boulevard and Lyons Road west of Boca Raton will be delayed a few days, according to Charles Cantrell of Palm Beach County`s Traffic Division.
The signal will be turned on when the correct signal heads are delivered, he said.
Work is progressing on a flashing signal at Limestone Creek Road and Indiantown Road west of Jupiter and should be finished by the end of the week, Cantrell said.
This signal, at the entrance to the Limestone Creek area, will be temporary, Cantrell said. It will be there until construction begins on an Interstate 95 interchange, probably about two years, he said. After that, Limestone Creek residents will have to use Center Street for access to their neighborhood.
In the southern part of the county, he said, construction has started on signals at Town Center Drive and Military Trail and at Boca West Drive and Powerline Road west of Boca Raton. The signals are expected to be completed by the end of the month. The signal at Westroads Drive and Military Trail in the northern part of the county should be completed in two months.
Construction is starting in the north county on signals at Indian Creek Parkway and Military Trail and at State Road A1A and Village Road in Lost Tree Village, Cantrell said.
Val Sass of Boca Pointe, in her efforts to have a signal installed at Boca Pointe Drive and Powerline Road, asked what became of traffic studies at that intersection.
Cantrell said most of the required traffic counts were taken, but a broken hose on the counter prevented completion of 24-hour counts.
Those counts were scheduled to be completed by Friday, Cantrell said, and an evaluation of the intersection will follow that.

Thucydides Quotes About WinningQuotes about: Winning
In general, the men of lower intelligence won out. Afraid of their own shortcomings and of the intelligence of their opponents, so that they would not lose out in reasoned argument or be taken by surprise by their quick-witted opponents, they boldly moved into action. Their enemies,on the contrary, contemptuous and confident in their ability to anticipate, thought there was no need to take by action what they could win by their brains.
The absence of romance from my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but if it be judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it, I shall be content. In fine, I have written my work, not as an essay which is to win the applause of the moment, but as a possession for all time.
There is, however, no advantage in reflections on the past further than may be of service to the present. For the future we must provide by maintaining what the present gives us and redoubling our efforts; it is hereditary to us to win virtue as the fruit of labour, and you must not change the habit, even though you should have a slight advantage in wealth and resources; for it is not right that what was won in want should be lost in plenty.

Employee Whistleblower Claims - Recent Developments 2014

Say On Pay 2013: Planning & Tactics
With universal say on pay votes now a familiar part of the annual meeting/compensation calendar, companies are internalizing the lessons of the past few years, analyzing recent developments, and planning for 2013. Our experienced panel of practitioners – from the institutional investor, proxy advisory, compensation consulting and corporate governance fields – will share their perspectives and real-world experiences as they look at: best and emerging practices for CD & A's; why peer group selection became a hot topic during 2012 and what companies should be taking into account when planning their peer groups for 2013; the metrics and screens that institutional investors and proxy advisory services used in determining the link between pay and performance in 2012 and possible changes for 2013; how smaller reporting companies should prepare themselves for their first time, now that their two-year exemption has expired; how say on pay is fostering increased dialog between companies and their investors; and whether say on pay continues on track to turn into "pay as I say" as some companies feel increasingly forced to craft compensation policies and practices that "toe the line" set by proxy advisory firms.

Robert Pattinson's Boys Night Out To Metric Concert In LA
Rob was spotted at the Metric concert– who has three songs on the 'Cosmopolis' soundtrack — in LA! Read on for more details!
Robert Pattinson was spotted hanging out at the Metric concert at El Rey in L.A. on June 20 with friends.
The 26-year-old hung out in the VIP room according to an onlooker.
"And then Robert Pattinson came and kicked us out of our VIP room at the @metric show. Lame. He is two feet away. He was with a small group of friends. Nice folks though," an eyewitness tweeted.
Metric is an Indie rock band that has three songs on the Cosmopolis soundtrack! Rob's girlfriend Kristen Stewart, 22, wasn't there because she's promoting SWATH in Australia right now — but she's reportedly on her way back to the U.S. We hope they have a a romantic reunion when she's back in town! It's totally cool how they're comfortable going out without each other though.

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
Pimples suck. No amazing cat-eye or colorful lash can distract from the Mount Vesuvius that's erupting on your cheek.
I'm being dramatic, but we've all had those moments: The zit that no amount of industrial strength concealer can mask, the pimple that wants to do a meet and greet with everyone in your neighborhood.
I had okay skin as a teen, with a few clusters of zits here and there, but once a pimple ran its course, it was gone without a trace. Then, in my late teens/early twenties, my acne became more moderate. Foundation application was mastered, Proactiv was purchased. Still, there was no post-pimple pigmentation war to fight.
Fast forward to today: every pimple I get leaves a red mark that turns to brown and wants to live on my face forever.
A few months ago, I developed a reaction to a new face cream and the sides of my cheeks broke out with tiny, under-the-skin bumps, some of which developed into whiteheads.
Here's how I got rid of the bumps and minimized the scarring that followed: Daily Cleansing
First, I use Bioderma Sensibio H20 to take my makeup off. It's hands-down the best makeup remover there is. Then I use Radical's Hydrating Cleanser, which is light and moisturizing, to wash my face, usually with this Foreo Luna brush. Last is Mario Badescu's Special Cucumber Toner to make my face feel extra clean. Three times a week, I switch up my cleanser and use Mario Badescu's Glycolic Foaming Cleanser to chemically exfoliate.
For serums, I alternate between Radical's Youth Infusion and Peptide Infused Antioxidant Serum, as well as Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair serum on top of Mario Badescu's Honey Moisturizer. The Youth Infusion is probably my favorite in terms of texture; you only need a little and it spreads very easily. Hannah is a fan of Advanced Night Repair, and I mean, just look at her face! When I'm feeling lazy I skip the serums and just use Mèreadesso's All-In-One Moisturizer.
One or twice a week, I like to pop on some LUSH masks (Cupcake for drying out spots, Love Lettuce and Cosmetic Catastrophe for everything else). I'm a fan of combining different masks on different parts the face, so I also like using Mario Badescu's Drying Mask (on spotty bits) and Rose Hips Mask (all over). If I need an instant boost I use Radical's Oxygen Mask.
Spot Treatments
In my opinion, the ultimate combination for banishing pimples is Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion layered on top of their Buffering Lotion. I use this combo at night on larger pimples and they're significantly reduced by the next morning.
Sunscreen, Pore Minimizer & Moisturizer
I use Vitage Skin Defence SPF 30 for sun protection. The formula is lovely and it just sinks in like magic without a white cast. My favorite product for minimizing pores is Bioderma's Sebium Pore Refiner. It's got a lotion-like texture that leaves the skin demi-matte and minimizes pores without that silicone feeling. It's a must if I'm going sans foundation for the day. And Mario Badescu's Honey Moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated day and night.
I am extremely fortunate to have received some of these products via PR, but they work so well on my skin that I would definitely purchase them. I'm a skincare junkie, so I'll scrimp elsewhere. I'd never judge you for slathering $90 serum on your cheeks while crying into a Shin Ramyun lunch.
While the above products brought down the bumps, they didn't erase the pigmentation or scars. Enter microdermabrasion.
I was lucky enough to be offered treatments at The House of Rush in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. During my consultation, it was recommended that I have a series of skin peels along with the microdermabrasion. Having my skin scrutinized under a bright light was daunting, but Charlotte, my technician, made me feel at ease. She explained that skin slows down its repairing process after your mid-twenties, hence those stubborn scars.
Mircrodermabrasion gets the skin repair process up and running again. It also treats sun damage, blackheads, whiteheads, superficial hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. The process blasts a bunch of tiny crystals onto your face via a tiny vacuum, exfoliating the epidermis and causing just enough trauma to trigger repair. The exfoliation also allows creams and treatments to absorb more effectively into the skin.
It feels like a weird Shiatsu massage with tiny rocks. My face was slightly red afterward, but nothing too noticeable. You need three to six treatments to see significant improvement.
I'm not done yet, but here's what my skin looked like before and after my first session. I noticed a small difference, but mostly I just felt more glow-y.
As for the after effects, my skin felt dryer than usual the first few days, but that was easily remedied with moisturizer. I'm told that results are most visible on days five to seven after treatment. This photo was taken the morning after my first microdermabrasion treatment. I look like I've joined a cult!
I'd love to hear how you're dealing with bumps and post-acne pigmentation!

"He was a good child. He was real sweet and would help you out. He didn't mind doing nothing for you at all," said Bobbi Davis, victim's cousin.
Davis was visiting relatives in the south suburb when he was struck by an eastbound Amtrak train from Chicago to Indianapolis.
"I guess they got hungry. They wanted to go get something to eat," said Bobbi Davis, victim's cousin.
Police said it appears Davis and his friends ignored the warnings at the crossing.
" Witness statements state that the gates and lights were functioning at that time and that several juvenile subjects were observed crossing the tracks at that area. It appears it was an attempt to beat the train," said Sgt. Chris Mizner, Lansing Police Department.
Davis was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to his family, Davis' grandmother died recently and his mother, Toni Davis, was killed by gun violence in 2000. He was taken in by his uncle, Kevin Carter.
"He was a helpful kid when he had money he would ask, 'What do I need.' He was always smiling," said Carter.
Davis is remembered by his elementary school as a good student who loved sports.

One Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns To The UK
Posted By
In a recent survey, Sky Movies discovered that the
Star Wars
Trilogy was the most watched film by all male respondents and the second most watched film by the female respondents, with 50 per cent of all participants claiming that they had watched the films more than twenty times. Canadian actor Charles Ross has seen it far more often?
Star Wars
was continually running in the background while Ross was growing up in the wilds of Victoria, Canada, and the result is his hilarious show,
Star Wars
Trilogy, in which he single-handedly plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the spaceships, fights the battles and condenses the plots into just sixty minutes!
Since its debut in Toronto, in January 2001, One-Man
Star Wars
Trilogy, written by Ross and directed by TJ Dawe, has toured Canada and the USA, including an off-Broadway run, to huge acclaim. Charles has appeared on a number of prestigious American TV shows, including The Today Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and
Star Wars
creator LucasFilms loved the show so much, they hired him to promote
Star Wars
: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith and to perform at the official
Star Wars
Conventions Celebration III and Celebration IV in Los Angeles.
After crossing the Atlantic in 2006, One-Man
Star Wars
Trilogy became the talk of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it sold out every performance of its run ? an incredible result led to the organisers inviting the show to return in 2007. Since making his UK debut, Ross has performed in the mud of Glastonbury Festival, enjoyed a West End run at London?s Garrick Theatre, guested at the massive
Star Wars
30th Anniversary Celebration Europe at London?s ExCel Centre and appeared in numerous theatres up and down the country. He has also been on Christian O?Connell?s Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio and even performed an early morning extract to the bemused presenters of BBC Radio 4?s Today programme!
Following his recent three month tour of Australasia, Charles is bringing the One-Man
Star Wars
Trilogy back to the UK one final time in July before moving on to a new project, so
this could be your last chance
to catch his affectionate and very funny tribute to the films that have become a part of so many people?s lives. Whether you?re a committed fan or simply want to enjoy a fast-paced, side-splitting evening that's out of this world, make sure you don?t miss this show!
?It?s a joy? quite brilliant.? - Daily Telegraph
?A delight for fans? but there?s enough here to satisfy casual observers too.? ? The Independent
?Virtuosic? ? The Times
?Side-splittingly ludicrous? ? Edinburgh Evening News

Prepare the dough for the crust: stir the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and spices together in a large bowl. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg until well moistened. Stir in the ice water until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Stir the ingredients for the nut mixture in a small bowl, and set aside. In a large bowl (or food processor bowl), beat together all the ingredients for the filling until well blended and set aside.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to form a 12-inch circle, and use it to line a 10 inch fluted removable bottom tart pan. Trim the edges of the dough with a sharp knife. Spread the nut mixture evenly over the bottom, and then pour in the sweet potato mixture. Decorate with the pecan halves. Bake for about 1 hour, until the filling is well risen and set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with praline pecan sauce and whipped cream.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Add the sugar and cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and browned. Stir in the cream and pecans and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring often. Cool slightly before serving. It's a delicious way to top-off B.'s sweet potato pie Yield: about 1 1/4 cups;

Transforming Lives
The Opsahl Global Service Program was envisioned by Jan Opsahl '68, who became the first international student at TASIS when he came from Norway in 1965. The pioneering program was launched in 2013 with major support from a most generous donation from Mr. Opsahl and his family to set up the Global Service Trust. This Trust, along with support from the TASIS Foundation, make this incredible, life-changing experience for our students possible.
The TASIS Opsahl Global Service Program transforms lives by providing every High School student with a unique opportunity to connect across borders—whether geographic, economic, or social—through comprehensive experiences that build empathy and encourage personal responsibility. The Program awakens students to humanitarian needs, inspires them to build enduring, mutually beneficial relationships, and leads them toward a life of active citizenship and committed service.
This service learning program is compulsory for all students in grade nine. During weekly meetings that include discussions, guest speakers, films, simulations, readings, and other activities, students are exposed to a number of themes and topics that the Opsahl Global Service Program seeks to address: Education, Water/Sanitation, Poverty, Gender Equality, the Environment, and Marginalized Populations.
Casa Elisabetta: At least once a month on Wednesday afternoons, TASIS students host children from this home for disadvantaged mothers and their families. Students set up celebrations, fundraise, and plan activities for young children at Casa Elisabetta. All participants should speak some Italian and enjoy spending time and playing with very young children.
Intergenerations: TASIS students visit Al Pagnolo, a local retirement home, twice a month on Wednesday afternoons. The group name stems from the encounters in which students share time with people of a different generation. Students use their talents, interests, and energy to plan and prepare activities (e.g., conversations, playing games, cooking, singing, sorts, tournaments, etc.) with the residents of Al Pagnolo. All participants should be Italian speakers or enrolled in at least Italian 2.
Red Cross Refugees: The Red Cross in Paradiso provides support to young (teenage) refugees from places such as Syria, Iraq, Eritrea, and Afghanistan as they make a new start in Switzerland. TASIS students plan and participate in after-school activities twice a month on Wednesdays with teenage refugees and asylum seekers residing in Lugano. All participants should speak some Italian.
OTAF: A new collaboration with TASIS this year, OTAF supports people with differing degrees of physical and mental disabilities. Students will interact and socialize one-on-one with three guests, who will be visiting the TASIS campus twice a month on Wednesdays. All participants should speak Italian.
Cambodia works with two Cambodian NGOs that are dedicated to improving economic and educational conditions in Cambodia. Students work with Tabitha to help construct homes for Cambodian families and also help support Tabitha's family savings program. Students also work with PEPY, an organization that aims to empower youth and believes that one has to learn before one can help—and that a wider understanding of Cambodian contexts and related development issues is essential before trying to support change. In June, TASIS students volunteer in Tabitha communities in the Cambodian countryside as well as at local educational facilities in Siem Reap, assisting with the English as a Second Language (ESL) Program.
EcoVisio Moldova, working in the poorest country in Europe—nestled between Romania and Ukraine—is a youth-led grassroots NGO that has built an environmentally friendly village in the small town of Riscova (39 km from Chişinău) designed to promote sustainable living and community development. TASIS students will help EcoVisio with a variety of infrastructure projects during the first week of Spring Break—both within the Eco-village and within the broader community, where they will design and create a nature park in order to provide locals a space for gatherings and celebrations.
Gram Vikas India is an NGO that has been working with the rural people of Odisha, India, for nearly 40 years. Students learn about the regions of India and research educational opportunities for students in the areas Gram Vikas serves. The group spends eight days in India working with Gram Vikas during February Academic Travel. They focus on "expanding horizons through research, service, and experience."
Hope and Homes for Children Romania is an NGO that seeks to replace institutionally focused child protection services (state-run orphanages) with the concept of family. Through commitment, individual attention, love, and stimulation, Hope and Homes for Children (HHC) works in partnership with the Romanian government to provide better opportunities for disadvantaged young people. In June, TASIS students assist HHC with a variety of infrastructure projects that help improve the conditions of the children's homes while also providing games and activities for the HHC youth.
Mission Morocco focuses specifically on assisting those populations on the fringes of society who are often marginalized. For eight days during February Academic Travel, students travel to Morocco to work with underprivileged or abandoned children and their mothers through the Hayati Foundation. Through exposure to additional NGOs, students will specifically seek to understand and improve women's rights, children's rights, access to education, and opportunity.
Nepal: After learning about the history of Nepal and the plight of Tibetan refugees, TASIS students, with the help and insights of the Tserok community, raise funds and travel to Nepal for two weeks during Spring Break to help develop infrastructure for the Tserok Tibetan refugee camp. Particular areas of focus include building projects alongside the local community, education, and environmental stewardship.
Nuovo Fiore Ethiopia is a non-profit organization that aids and encourages the education of elementary school-aged and middle school-aged boys and girls in East Africa. TASIS students learn about the economic, political, and social inequalities prevalent in Ethiopia while actively fundraising to support Nuovo Fiore's key initiatives. During the first week of Spring Break, students travel to Ethiopia to help the Auxilium Grade School improve the lives and education of young children in need.
Serving Southern Africa: While confronting stereotypes about life in Africa and its people, TASIS students spend the year learning about the challenges of development and economic growth in rural Africa. For two weeks in June, students assist in rural and urban communities in Zambia, helping the elderly, volunteering at the local preschool, assisting with the provision of medication at a local hospital, planting trees, holding art workshops for street children, and transforming the community through their service.
Understanding Ulgii (Teaching in Mongolia): This group is dedicated to supporting and building a lasting relationship between TASIS students and a community of English language learners in Ulgii, a city in western Mongolia. TASIS students plan and teach English language lessons to school-age students during the first 10 days of June vacation. Fundraising covers the cost of school supplies, including books, posters, and new desks. Additional side projects have included environmental initiatives, such as researching and teaching about various methods of waste management on small and large scales.
WISER Kenya: WISER is a girls-only boarding secondary school in Muhuru Bay, Kenya, a struggling rural community on Lake Victoria. After examining issues of universal education and gender equality, students spend nine days during the latter part of Spring Break getting to know the community of Muhuru Bay, Kenya. They assist at local primary schools, educate the community on the benefits of purified water, visit local medical clinics, and work closely with the WISER school.
For more information, please contact Opsahl Global Service Program Director Zach Mulert.

- Get annual dilated eye exams so your doctor can properly evaluate your eyes and provide suitable treatment.
- Don't sleep in contact lenses. It can lead to an increased chance of infection and significantly affect your vision.

Die Graslandgesellschaften Luxemburgs is the first to describe and classify the plant communities of the grassland in Luxembourg. Phytosociological classification is based on own relevés and unpublished data from other authors. The phytosociological evaluation of the 1206 relevés allows to differentiate 31 plant communities from 9 alliances. Description of the grassland communities focuses mainly on species composition, the various flowering aspects and the structural characteristics. Information on the current distribution as well as the syntaxonomic classification and demarcation of the grassland communities are added.
The plant communities are characterized regarding their conservation status, protection value and are classified in line with their status in the EU-Habitats Directive. In addition to own observations and results, the existing knowledge regarding the ecology, land use and value for nature conservation of grassland communities was collected from literature and comprehensively inserted. The main focus of the examined vegetation units is on the species-rich False Oatgrass meadows, wet meadows and nutrient-poor grasslands, with a huge number of rare and endangered species. The results show that Luxembourg still has many species-rich, but also endangered grassland stands, which contribute essentially to the biodiversity of the country and ought to be conserved.
